Nice, 9 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.280 that's awesome. Great, Well, there's been you know, I would 10 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.719 say normally that this time of year is kind of your slower time of year 11 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:15.760 for Yes News in this world. But we've had some big things that have 12 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.640 happened this week, Like today history was made. Oh yeah, absolutely it 13 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.359 was. And you know, you got a lot of drafts coming up right 14 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.280 now. I mean, we did the NFL Draft, we dissected that, 15 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.040 you have the NBA Draft, which was in the last two nights, and 16 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.760 now you have the NHL Draft coming up next and then after that the Baseball 17 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.359 draft. So we have a lot of drafts coming up and you know, 18 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.760 and so it's gonna be a lot to talk about dissect some of this stuff, 19 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.040 and you know, so it's gonna be great for now to hold us 20 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.959 up until football season and the baseball season's going on as well. Speaking of 21 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:59.120 the draft tonight the NBA, and with a fifty to fifth pick, NBA 22 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:07.400 history was made. Lebron Bronni James Junior was selected by none other surprise surprise, 23 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.719 the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh yeah, absolutely, you know what was 24 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.800 coming. As I mentioned off off the air here, he was supposedly supposed 25 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.599 to come to Duquane because Drew Joyce, our new coach who took over for 26 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.080 the retire Keith Danbru. Drew Joyce was a teammate of Lebron James in high 27 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.360 school. They played together. And so that's the situation here. Let's go 28 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.000 Trump, r XJ, thank you, thank you for your kin words last 29 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.639 night as well. Yes, our x J is awesome. He's one of 30 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.080 my biggest fans. And yes he's on my shows too, even comes on 31 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.080 my other shows, not just the sports, he comes on all my shows. 32 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.759 That's tough, awesome. I try to at least go in and give 33 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.800 a listen and a like. It may not be while it's live, because 34 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:01.319 some of your shows run near the times I'm never going to work, but 35 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.960 I try to do my support that way. Oh thank you. That way 36 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.840 you at least get of you and a like from me. So that helped 37 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:19.080 the YouTube algorithm absolutely. If you want my comments about this draft here, 38 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.199 it was nice to see bub Carrington from pitt get drafted in the first round. 39 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:29.280 And you know there's a uh, it's Boney James or Bonnie or whatever 40 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.840 he calls himself. You know, his son. You knew it was going 41 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.800 to happen sooner or later that he was going to be with the Lakers and 42 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.479 his father. So the question is is he going to be a player and 43 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.319 assistant coach? Is going to clean toilets or what's he going to do? 44 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.800 Because it seems like his dad is the coach down there, so you know 45 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:53.680 it does? It does? I made the comment last night on my show, 46 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.039 and I think you heard me, Ralph when I said it, Yes 47 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.960 I did. I said, it's so nice that the LA Lakers can have 48 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.360 ord to pay eight million dollars a year for an assistant coach because now Lebron 49 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:10.240 is coaching that team. Yeah, that was funny when you said that about 50 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.280 the coach there and the new coach. That's funny as heck. I have 51 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.840 to get up to speed on the NBA. I will try to do that 52 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.839 this year before they get started. So so my question to both of you 53 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:28.759 are, how would you feel if you were playing a sport and your dad 54 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.120 wanted you to be on the same team as you like? And the only 55 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:40.000 way I can relate semi to it is my dad was a math high school 56 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.839 math teacher, and I was in this. I went to the same high 57 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.800 school that he taught at. Now, two of my siblings, I'm sorry, 58 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:54.920 were you a math leet? Yes, yes, but two of my 59 00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:01.079 siblings actually had him for a teacher, And I can't imagine that. But 60 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.160 like I can only relate to like being in the same high school as him, 61 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.480 And was that a good experience or not a good And there were times 62 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.279 it was good, at times it was really bad, But I can't imagine 63 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.040 being a player on the team. And let's face it, Lebron is a 64 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:24.000 really Whatever however you feel about him and his antics and how he goes about 65 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.839 things and his political and all that, he's a good basketball player. Yeah, 66 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.759 can you imagine following in his footsteps? Like what kind of pressure does 67 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.519 that put on his son? And then to have him on the same team, 68 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:45.399 Well, all I know is that fathers tend to want their sons to 69 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:58.000 follow through their footsteps. My dad coach football for his shop team, and 70 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.040 I played one time because they were short players and we're going to have to 71 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.360 forfeit. They didn't even have enough to field a nine man team because you 72 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:11.759 know in softball you gotta have ten. So I filled in, and other 73 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.560 than tripping in a pothole out in right field, I had a pretty good 74 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:23.439 day. But uh, overall, here's the thing I'm happy about for Lebron 75 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.079 being the fifty fifth pick. Overall, there isn't the pressure of them taking 76 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.800 him at seventeen, because if he'd have been a first round pick, it 77 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:39.959 would have been catastrophic to the pressure they'd have put on him and I mean 78 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.360 the team, because it looks like he needs to develop a little bit, 79 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.560 and being in the second round late like that he can go to the G 80 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.839 League, do a little bit of development this summer, see what happens, 81 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:59.759 and see how he does because he didn't do so good in college. Right. 82 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.879 Remember, Remember he had that big scare, like he had that cardiac 83 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.279 issue that he had to sit out for a whole month or something that he 84 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:17.319 couldn't even play or do anything. So to kind of come back from, 85 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.959 Yeah, he collapsed on July twenty fifth. He collapsed after suffering cardiac arrest 86 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.439 during a usc basketball practice. He was hospitalized and in stable condition before being 87 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:34.399 discharged three days later. The hells get scarce set him back what was supposed 88 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:42.439 to be to his college. He wasn't even even until late November. So 89 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.800 that took a lot out of him. And I mean, I'm not sure 90 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.000 that he'd be really great, but I mean to come back from something that 91 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:55.399 was life scary like that, like life changing, Well, you know what's 92 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.199 interesting. You have to understand something here. I'm glad that he gets along 93 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.240 with his swab because let me say this. Let's look at Deon Sanders right 94 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.839 now, he's coaching the color Colorado. Both his sons went out, they're 95 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.399 on the transfer portal. They're trying to get away. All right. There's 96 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.959 a situation there that you know, uh, it does and sometimes it doesn't 97 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.680 work out with the father and the son on the same team. He's a 98 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.319 a coach or a quarterback or the point guard or whatever in the basketball game. 99 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.560 You know, you have to look at it that way. But at 100 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.279 least this is a positive aspect that this kid and his father can play together, 101 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.039 and it's a great thing. And he and like Jeremy say, he 102 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.840 doesn't have the pressure on him because he wasn't not really a number one draft 103 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.440 pick. So that is a nice thing too. And I agree with you 104 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.799 on that, Candy, I agree, I agree. I mean, and 105 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.360 this gives him time. They don't have to ramp him up, They don't 106 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.600 have to put him in the lineup. They can, like you said, 107 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.000 sign him to the G league, develop him right, and take your time 108 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.679 with him, because I think the worst thing they could do is russ him 109 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.279 right. You know, Candy, They do that all across the board every 110 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.919 sport. They rush the first round draft pick and then he fails, you 111 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.240 know what I mean. You know, you have to be careful with that. 112 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.720 Just like the Pirates when we had Paul Skians. Everybody saw Paul Skans. 113 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.879 Let's let's get him out there, Let's do it this way, that 114 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.159 way. Paul Skans now is a good picture because he was down to minors. 115 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.480 He's got some seasoning. He was able to get some coaching and nice 116 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.559 here. Okay, you know, sometimes doing it that way works mm hmm. 117 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.120 Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit back and let the chips 118 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:39.000 fall where they all day lie, right, and everything you cannot change about 119 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.879 it. And there's so many people that cannot do that. They cannot accept 120 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:52.559 the things they cannot change and it see and yeah, I thought that too. 121 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.399 When the light the Pistons traded up. You heard about that, right, 122 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.320 We've traded our fifty third pick. We got the thirty seventh pick overall, 123 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.120 I believe it was and uh window Moore, a guy that makes two 124 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.799 point five million. It was just a dump of the salary he was thrown 125 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.519 in on that trade. Yeah, and then I'll talk of that to Bony 126 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.240 James. At least he's not bankrupt like one of the Sanders sons just fouled 127 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.360 for bankruptcy. Okay, you know, I got my opinion on that too, 128 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.600 but that's right. But I'm saying he I'm saying he's a good kid 129 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.519 and lasty, you know what I mean. You know, and Deon Sanders 130 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.039 as an example, because his sons are transferrent and one of his sons is 131 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.600 bankrupt. It didn't even make it to the NFL yet. It's funny, 132 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.919 we were talking before the NFL, before we knew that Lebrony was going to 133 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.000 the Lakers. The Celtics had the pick right before the Lakers. Yes, 134 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.480 yeah, I was saying that, wouldn't it have been sticking it to the 135 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.960 Lakers if the Boston Celtics had drafted Lebronni James instead of them, right ahead 136 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.519 of them? And I'm like, I never thought of it that way, 137 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:16.840 but yes, Wow, Joe Biden staying awake. Yes, give it another 138 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:24.399 twenty minute. He's staying awake. Actually, it's like he's going on here 139 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:31.000 we go. Wow. So there was another big happening this week. It 140 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.279 was another history was made and it was made on Monday night and it happened 141 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:43.480 down here in South Florida. Florida Panthers. Florida Panthers in their thirty year 142 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.120 history, this is the first time they've ever won the Stanley Cup. And 143 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.639 ironically, had Edmonton won, that would have been the first time in thirty 144 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.399 one years a Canadian team had won the Stanley Cup. It's been that long 145 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:09.000 since. Uh, Canadian team has won. The Panthers took care of business. 146 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:18.360 I'm sorry, uh plus one, James, Panthers, there you go, 147 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.240 exactly exactly. You know, they played, they played really good in 148 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.399 the first three games. Obviously, the next three they the choke, you 149 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.639 know, came out and there were so many people down here in Florida, 150 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.919 We're wondering, are they really gonna choke the last game and not win the 151 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.279 Stanley Cup. You know, they'd been to the Stanley Cup last year and 152 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.759 they lost. And can they do it? Can they get over the hump? 153 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.320 Can they finally do it? Well, they finally did it, and 154 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.840 they all Maurice took him to the and got him there. And I give 155 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.200 a lot of credit to the coach because, let's face it, he got 156 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.799 them back to how they played the first couple of games as opposed to the 157 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.679 last couple of games. And Connor McGregor, I mean, let's take let's 158 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:09.519 face it, McDavid, and he won the consmythe reward. He was unquestionably 159 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:16.279 the best guy man in hockey, and yet the Panthers found a way to 160 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.799 shut him down in that seven game seven their defense. You hear, you 161 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.279 hear all the time defense wins championships. The Panthers proved it. Yep, 162 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.879 absolutely, between the absolutely and you know what's interesting too, the Florida Panthers. 163 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.840 They have some stars, but there have always been a gritty team, 164 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.360 you know, they always had they they have been gritty. Like you said, 165 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.720 Candy, defense wins games as well. They're not a fancy team. 166 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.279 They're not a you know what I mean, but they win all they win 167 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.279 because they have a lot of gritty. They have a lot of grit in 168 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.720 them, you know, and that's something that a lot of teams don't have. 169 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.679 Right now. I'll give you an example. The Penguins don't have it. 170 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.360 They have a lot of puck handlin defensemen, but they don't have guys 171 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.720 that will bang around with you know, and things like that. And that's 172 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:11.159 what echoes, you know, with that. It's kind of like the pre 173 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.799 salary cap in the NHL, the way the grind line played and yet was 174 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:24.799 scorers for the for the Red Wings versus other people's enforcer lines. You know, 175 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.600 the grind line, that that fourth line, the guys that come out, 176 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.159 the one that did all the dirty work, the ones that did all 177 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.279 the retaliations, took on the penalty minutes. I think there was a year 178 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.519 where the when the Red Wings won it, where they led the league in 179 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.039 penalty minutes and Darren McCarty had the most out of all of them. I 180 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.320 think he had almost one thousand penalty minutes himself, and he outdid Probot that 181 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:56.639 year. Mm hmm. And yes, James Rabowski was great and most of 182 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.200 the games. Obviously a couple of games he really he wasn't. But some 183 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.159 of that was the defense didn't stand up help on me out either, and 184 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.399 the offense didn't in some of those games. But yes, he was really 185 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.879 good in some of those games. I have to give him, you know, 186 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.960 his props. But I and I said this last night on the Sports 187 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:24.360 Exchange. What disappointed me was two things. The fans booing McDavid when he 188 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.720 was named for the con smythe award. He was the best player. You 189 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.080 don't do that. I'm sorry, I don't care. He's on he was 190 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.200 on the losing side. You do not move. He won that award outright, 191 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.639 But then for him not to come out and accept the award, I 192 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.960 was also disappointed. And I get he's disappointed that he did not they didn't 193 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.120 win the Stanley Cup. But I look at I relate it to and I 194 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.159 played tennis back in the day. When you finished your tennis match, you 195 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.399 watch any of those tennis matches wimpledon and all those the two of them stand 196 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.679 next to each other, you watch the other person get the award. You 197 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.720 stand there and watch that. He didn't have to stand and watch them do 198 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.799 all their stuff with the Stanley Cup. But at least he should have come 199 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:21.320 out and accepted the award. That's my right. Yeah, anybody that gets 200 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.679 an award should come out and get it if they can. If they have 201 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.639 other obligations, that's another story. But when you're you know, when you're 202 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.279 up for an award, Candy and Jeremy, you need to really come out 203 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.720 and accept your award. Who cares what people think? I don't, you 204 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.960 know what I mean. So if people are gonna boo, if you think 205 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.000 people are gonna boo you or whatever, you know, fine, let them 206 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.799 boo. I don't care. It's my award. I want it. I'm 207 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.440 gonna come. I'm gonna come and get it. I know. I think 208 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.080 he was just really disappointed that they didn't win the cup. And I get 209 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.399 that. Sometimes you can't have your cake, any of it too, Candy. 210 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.200 You know what I'm saying. You know, I take it for what 211 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.960 it is. You lose, come back next to your and try again. 212 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.840 Maybe I've been it could be better other than McDavid. They can get some 213 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.519 stars in her to help out, you know what I'm saying. You know, 214 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.519 that's that's part of the issue there too. You know, McDavid needs 215 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:17.240 some support. While it was disappointing that they didn't win, because it has 216 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.720 been since the last teenth time the what the Canadians won it back in the 217 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:30.319 sixties that a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup ago. Yeah, so I 218 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.920 understand that side of the disappointment, but to not come and accept your award, 219 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.519 it was the equivalent of Cartman saying I'm taking maclays and going home. 220 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.160 I mean, I don't know how else to say it than that. I 221 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:55.000 mean, because that's what he did. It was basically, oh yeah, 222 00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:00.720 I want it. That's nice. I'm not showing up exactly. It's kind 223 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.480 of like all the people that were projected as first round picks and only eleven 224 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:11.039 showed up at the draft. It's the same because you know what they knew. 225 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:17.759 They weren't going to be the number one pick overall guys. That's the 226 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.279 goal is to be one of those top ten guys. And everybody knew. 227 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.720 We all said four quarterbacks may go in the top ten, and they did, 228 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.400 absolutely, but all of them re expected them to go. That's another 229 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.640 story. I liked the fact that I was watching a little bit of the 230 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:42.720 NBA draft and I know the Bucks took and I'm gonna not remember his name, 231 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.480 but he wasn't expected, but he was even there. He wasn't invited 232 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:48.640 to be in the green room, but he was still there. And I 233 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.400 think that's cool that you get to experience that because they were one of the 234 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.359 announcers and I don't even remember which one was talking about how when he was 235 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.279 drafted he was still he was watching it from home and how he regrets to 236 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.119 this day not being there and experiencing it. Yeah, just just the experience 237 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.359 itself when you go to an event is extremely great. Let me give you 238 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.759 an example. Sunday, I was at a wrestling event of independent wrestling in 239 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:22.119 Indiana, Pennsylvania, and it was my friend Bubba Brewer has a wrestling company 240 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.960 called ally Powers Wrestling, and what and what he did was he invited me 241 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.400 and smoking Jim Fraser and my wife and we were all there okay, and 242 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.519 I got to meet Ac three. I've never met a professional wrestler from the 243 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:40.039 nw A and and it was a nice event. I've been to draft parties 244 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:41.839 for the NFL and I've got to meet some celebrities. You've saw some of 245 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.440 the picks of me with Charlie Batche and and and mearrall Hodge and stuff like 246 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.440 that. I was if I was to be a number one pick, just 247 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.400 to get there for the experience, like you said, Candy, And also 248 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.359 you can meet people. You never know who's going to be there. You 249 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.200 know, there might be some legend that might be there, and that's that's 250 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.519 just that's the great thing about all these state drafts with these green rooms, 251 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.440 and James Burns just brings up a good point there. That's why I love 252 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.559 the fact that Branch hung out through day two at the twenty twenty three draft 253 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.119 plus one. Candy, Yes, it was amazing to see him get picked 254 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.640 by the Lions there. I mean, we all knew he could have been, 255 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.279 but nobody knew he would be, you know, but when the trade 256 00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.039 up happened, I saw who was on the board, I started getting geeked, 257 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:36.960 especially with we traded with you know, it was a nice carry on 258 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:47.240 cop so since we're running to the NFL. The jury awarded ordered the NFL 259 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:53.119 on Thursday to pay more than four point seven billion for anti trust violations surrounding 260 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:59.480 its Sunday Ticket package, which let fans watch games outside of their home markets, 261 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.039 but require them to buy access to a bundle of games to do so. 262 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.160 Because of the case's nature as an antitrust matter, the verdict could be 263 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:15.519 tripled if upheld, putting the NFL on the hook for fourteen point one billion 264 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:22.480 in damages. Wow, that's a lot of money. It's because the way 265 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.839 this Sunday Ticket was originally done and the way they started doing it. It 266 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:33.759 used to be available through all three networks at one time, and then they 267 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.359 started monopolizing it and going to one network at a time for a set amount 268 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:44.039 of years and then going to another, and it was kind of a bad 269 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.359 look. Everybody complained because everybody kept raising the price. And then it went 270 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:55.960 from a cable network to an online streaming service and they were charging more than 271 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.480 this satellite was and people were getting fed up with it because you couldn't just 272 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.799 buy Sunday ticket. You had to get Hulu Live too, and then that 273 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:10.519 would cost you over four hundred dollars for the season. I do it all 274 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.160 because you had to at least get the sixty five of them. Scott makes 275 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.000 good Scott makes a good point here. I don't mean to interrupt you, 276 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.599 Jeremy. Sorry, Scott makes a good point here. I like this point 277 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:25.559 here about the networking and finding and content. Yes, indeed, you know 278 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:34.440 in the chat room. Yes indeed, Scott, that's my man. Thank 279 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:40.359 you, Scott. Yeah, yeah, I agree with you Jeremy on this. 280 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:42.640 And you know, the interesting part about this is they try to get 281 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.319 greedy. And when you try to get greedy and you get burned, that's 282 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.839 the best. That's the best. That's the interesting part about this lawsuit. 283 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.599 They try to get greedy and they got stunned. And there we are. 284 00:22:53.720 --> 00:23:00.880 So I'm sorry, Candy, I had to put a hating pad on my 285 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.079 neck. You know, I have a bad neck. I have some nerve 286 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.960 damage in there, and my neck is all jacked up right now. So 287 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.519 Nope, you're fine, You're fine. Content is my name. Please wear 288 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:19.799 it out, Wear it out is it so, but again thanks for watching 289 00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:26.079 Scott Man. Shame on the NFL. They got red handed with their hands 290 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:29.680 in the cookie jar, and that's what it ull comes to do. And 291 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:34.279 I said when this came out, I said, if they lose, don't 292 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:41.880 expect that big thirty million dollar jump from the Netflix money. I said, 293 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:47.559 because basically the Netflix money is going to pay for that. So here we 294 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:56.720 are. Now we're right back to what they projected the NFL salary cap to 295 00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:59.720 go up by next year. This was supposed to be the lowest year because 296 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.680 there was nothing set for a streaming service or any of that stuff to come 297 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.880 up. And now we're probably looking at that nine to fifteen million dollar increase 298 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:17.960 again instead of that twenty to thirty million dollars right exactly, which it might 299 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.440 come back to burn a lot of people who spent a lot of money this 300 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.480 year. I have puend no money on that. You know, everybody said 301 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:33.640 once that whole thing with a Cam Sutton came out and the twelve million came 302 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.920 back to Detroit and then it ended up being eight million total because there's four 303 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.240 point one in dead cap and he's trying to appeal it to get his ten 304 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:47.880 point five guaranteed money back, and that's all fine and dandy. That's gonna 305 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:52.400 take a year in the courts before that gets done. That's just a network. 306 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.519 It's guaranteed money. Shouldn't they just pay it to him? I mean, 307 00:24:55.519 --> 00:25:00.440 he has the contract right. The day his guaranteed money came out was 308 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.799 the day the arrest warrant was made of. There was wording in the contract 309 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:12.759 that makes that detrimental to his contract and it could be voided. So he's 310 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:17.920 trying to appeal it, and whether he wins or not, it all depends 311 00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.000 on the verbiage of the contract he signs. That's that's all it comes down 312 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.079 to. Because it's civil court. So that contract is kind of iron clad 313 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.000 once you sign it, right, and if they find it, it's fine. 314 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.519 We're not going to owe him anything. It'll be just a four point 315 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:40.039 one that cap and that's it. So I think it's iron clad because the 316 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.799 NFL said, well, yeah, there it is in black and white. 317 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.440 You get arrested for domestic violence, you can be cut off the team. 318 00:25:48.160 --> 00:26:03.160 So and I've been trying to tell did you see that, Ralph? Yes, 319 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.359 I do see that, Scott, thank you. Yeah, And we 320 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.839 will make sure, that's later the name of that show, because that's an 321 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:15.920 important show and it should the external bomb. Oh absolutely, I've been a 322 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.680 guest there. Scott is a regular. Yes, Candy wants Candy ever wants 323 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:25.000 to come on, and she can come on. She's welcome. Well, 324 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.240 thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that you can pay. You 325 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.400 know what I call it, It's like bring a child to work day. 326 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:34.799 I say, bring a bump to the show, bring up bump. Well, 327 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.599 but you know and all. And that is why I've been talking with 328 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:45.680 my bands on my show and other Lions fans across the across the Lions Nation. 329 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.279 I said, the smartest thing we can do with that extra money is 330 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.000 hold on to it, because what if the cat doesn't go that much? 331 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.039 We can roll it over. The only thing you'll lose out on is whatever 332 00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.880 you spend on injury signings throughout the season. So if you can roll over 333 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.759 a majority of that thirty million with the thirty four million, they're going to 334 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.799 have a cap space at the current cap amount next year. Now you're talking 335 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:14.240 about sixty four million dollars more than likely to play it. Doesn't that sound 336 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.440 a lot better than thirty four million. Yes, it does. It's always 337 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.440 when you have a greater amount as usual, it's always a good thing. 338 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:23.920 But you know, like like this lawsuit, and we were just talking about 339 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:29.000 the NFL try to get greedy in my eyes, and they got barned and 340 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.480 they got stunned, and you know, so that's what happens when you play 341 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.799 with fire sometimes. How do you do this, folks? You get barned? 342 00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.559 Yes, absolutely, James Bridges, I think this comment about Allen. 343 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.960 I'm going to take this moment to do a station identification because I haven't absolutely 344 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:56.519 No company actually published a book late last year.

Let's well, Scott saying, I 375 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:29.319 call the external bum Show is my way of going ballistic and living up to 376 00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:34.480 my MotorCity mad mouth reputation. He definitely does that. Yes, you know 377 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:38.079 what's interesting. We have a guy in town here on Bethel Park TV. 378 00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:42.559 His name is al Levine, the Talking Machine. So today I was talking 379 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.880 to the sales guy. But you know, my mom goes, you know 380 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.359 my son, he can really talk away. I said, oh no, 381 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.119 Mom, you knew you know el Levine from when he was at our wedding, 382 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.960 and he talks more than I do. And I've never had anybody in 383 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.039 my life ever talk more than I do, except him. So wow, 384 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:04.279 yeah, yeah, he's That's why they call him the talking machine. They 385 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.119 call me the booking machine because I put a lot of good guests on my 386 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:14.680 shows. Awesome, awesome. So let's let's transfer over to my town, 387 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.240 Jeremy. Why don't you start with my town? Well, we all know 388 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.359 that the Tigers of late have had a problem of putting up crooked numbers more 389 00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.359 than one or two innings the game, and it's usually in the seventh, 390 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:32.039 eight or ninth inning. The league average right now is two forty five, 391 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.759 and for the first six innings they're batting about two twenty nine, and for 392 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.960 the last three innings they're batting the league average of two forty five, which 393 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:47.720 is why they are languishing just below five hundred right now. And I do 394 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.759 feel that if they want to actually get what they need, which is some 395 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:57.319 consistent bats in this lineup, they need people that can hit all throughout the 396 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.799 game, not just at the end of the game or when they bring in 397 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:07.440 role players. Absolutely, time to trade to re Screwball or Jack Clarity, 398 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:12.359 one of those two young aces, both of them have two to three years 399 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:17.240 of control, get a haul and fix the lineup, because either one of 400 00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:22.759 them is going to garner enough to fix the lineup. Jack Flaherty's with Detroit. 401 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:27.559 He played for Saint Louis or San Francisco or something, didn't he Yes, 402 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:37.400 yeah, he's been very good. Oh yeah he is. Okay, 403 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.319 mister Ralph Well, Paul Skins pitched this week, and everyone loves seems to 404 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.759 love Paul Skins. But the interesting part about it was the bullpen and the 405 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.440 defense blew it again. Happens every time with Paul Skins. Sometimes with Paul 406 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:53.759 Skins and our good pitching staff that we have starters. Our bullpen was supposed 407 00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:57.519 to be strong. Our starters were supposed to stink. But it's in reverse. 408 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:01.319 Now. That's the issue with the Pirates. Eric Shelton and and you 409 00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:05.359 know, as hitting instructor, they need to get together and do something because 410 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.160 some of this hitting is not it's too much, too many strikeouts leaving men 411 00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:12.079 on base. We still lead the league in that. We've been doing that 412 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.000 for a long time. As far as the Steelers go, I can't wait 413 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.880 for training camp. We have justin fields, Russell Wilson. I can't wait 414 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.799 to see how that's gonna work. Our new offensive line with the rookies we 415 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.799 drafted and a few other guys. I'm interested to see what Omar Khan is 416 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:30.759 gonna do for wide receiver. We'll see what happens. Training camps coming up 417 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.559 soon at the end of July in the NFL. College is getting ready in 418 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.359 August. I'm getting ready on my shows, The Sports Corner Show and The 419 00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:43.559 External Bump Show to start talking about the different conferences in college football. And 420 00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.160 we're gonna break them down, see what teams are good, which teams are 421 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:50.079 bad, where we think they're gonna go. And I'm gonna break that down. 422 00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:54.240 So you know, it's gonna be interesting coming into the football season. 423 00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:58.759 Drafts going on with the NHL. I can't wait to see who who, 424 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.440 what the Penguins and Power tubis is gonna do. We don't have a number 425 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:07.240 one draft pick this year because we you know, ended up trading for some 426 00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:12.360 bumps. You didn't do anything like Carlson, so you know, but anyway, 427 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.000 that's that's my town and our mayor and our town has to go. 428 00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:21.840 We've got some issues downtown. You better fix them. Those twenty twenty six, 429 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:25.519 we have the NFL Draft, so Ralph Scott says, he'll give you 430 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.239 a run for your money. Yes, he will. I know he will. 431 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:34.639 George says, I think we should have a cage match Ralph Ring. 432 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.519 Lol. Well, by the way, speaking of president, I just got 433 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:43.320 reelected for my third term as the president of the Alleghanty County Transit Council. 434 00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.159 So awesome. And I think that's what you're alluding to. Isn't it a 435 00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:53.639 road issues correct? Yes, transit? Yeah, I I we are directly 436 00:34:53.679 --> 00:35:00.679 with the board of the of the Pittsburgh Regional Transit and we also uh talk 437 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:05.400 to their to their people that we're like a advisory council, so you know, 438 00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:20.880 and this will be my third term. So Transit Council we helped we 439 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:27.320 deal with mass transit Scott in the in Pittsburgh area Alleghany County. Okay, 440 00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:31.880 So going onto my town, there's been quite a few things that have happened. 441 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:35.760 Obviously here the Panthers, and I'm not going to get into the Panthers, 442 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:40.519 but I am from Wisconsin, so I have to you know, I 443 00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:45.760 have to give credit to the Brewers. The Brewers are really outperforming what a 444 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.239 lot of people thought. They didn't think they would do as well. Knowing 445 00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:54.199 that we have a new manager who also left us. We've had some injuries, 446 00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:58.599 but yet we're we're holding our own. We're doing pretty good. I 447 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.199 have to admit what I I want to. There's some big news out of 448 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:08.039 green Bay and some not news that is kind of surprising. The big news, 449 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:14.719 I guess would be the green Bay Packers Board of Directors is unanimously approved 450 00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:21.960 ed Policy as the franchise's new president and CEO on Monday. He will replace 451 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:27.880 Mark Murphy, who will step away in July of twenty twenty five as he 452 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:34.079 reaches the mandatory retirement age of seventy. So this fifty three year old has 453 00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:38.119 been with the Packers for thirteen years and has served as Cheap operating officer for 454 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:45.360 the last seven. He'll be the twelfth president in franchise history. The spot 455 00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:53.039 where we haven't made any news is Jordan Love's contract extension, and everybody says 456 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:59.039 he's now waiting because he holds all the cards, because he thinks the Packers 457 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:00.639 are going to have to pay him, and let's face it, they pretty 458 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:05.639 much are because they don't have a backup to him. And look at how 459 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:12.599 much money so many of the quarterbacks have gotten although Love has not doesn't have 460 00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:16.199 some of the experience of some of them, like a goth. But they're 461 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:22.599 hitting fifty three Lawrence making fifty five million. Now they're saying that's gonna be 462 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:29.519 almost sixty. So where does Love think he fits? And where do the 463 00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:40.679 packers think he should get? But on a more serious Oh, Appleton is 464 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:50.320 up. So on a more serious note though, and a sad note is 465 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:54.559 I want everybody to be very cautious. And the reason why I say that 466 00:37:54.719 --> 00:38:00.199 is, I don't know if you guys have heard. Randall Cobb lost his 467 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:08.960 house this this week. He he had his tesla plugged in in his garage 468 00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:14.320 and it caused a fire. They are lucky that him, his three kids, 469 00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:19.320 his three kids, his wife, and his dog all managed to get 470 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.760 out, but only with the clothes on their back. They didn't even have 471 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:31.280 shoes on. So everybody, I'm cautioning you, and I don't know if 472 00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.480 they had electrical problems before that. I don't know if they had the right 473 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:43.400 electrical for to have a tesla in there. All I'm going to say is, 474 00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:49.119 please, if you guys are going to this electrical cars and plugging and 475 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:54.719 make sure you have an electrician that knows what he's doing installing these kinds of 476 00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:00.159 things, because I would hate I would hate any more of these kinds of 477 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:07.599 stories or worse to come out, because it takes a lot of ampage for 478 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.559 these cars for you to charge them, and I would hate to see more 479 00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:16.840 fires like this. I'm lucky and grapeful that they got him his three kids 480 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:22.239 and the dog out, but it's sad that he lost the whole house to 481 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:29.599 this, and I just I'm afraid that we're going to hear more and more 482 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:35.239 of these kind of stories. I agree with Scott. I wouldn't be got 483 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:40.840 dead with a Tesla. Yes, he likes his bull cruisers. You got 484 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:46.039 it, I know, I know. Okay, anything else anybody wants? 485 00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:51.239 Any other topics you guys want to bring up? No, I think I'm 486 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.800 good for the night. I think we covered it all. I think we 487 00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.719 covered a lot, Yes we did. I think we did. We covered 488 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.320 a little NBA, little basement. We do a little for a variety of 489 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:06.519 everything here on here exactly what I like. That's what I like. Okay, 490 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.280 Ralph?
