00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640
I say, Keawy comspil hotline.
Bring on Roby Bean from CBS. Romie,

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.839
how are you doing this evening?
I'm doing great. Are you trusting

3
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.640
anybody with your banking information? Like
Showhei did with his U with his interpreter.

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.199
Look, all I'm saying is,
even if you're getting a seven hundred

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.800
million dollars paycheck, you're not gonna
notice that even five is gone. Yeah

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.879
I did. The whole thing is
literally he lost the entire Oakland Athletics payroll

7
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:34.119
gambling. No, I mean it's
just this. There's no way he didn't

8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.640
know, and Major League Baseball will
make sure that show he stays in the

9
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.600
league and nothing happens. I mean, come on, right, like this

10
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.479
is the face of baseball. But
the whole thing is very fishy, very

11
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.759
fishy. Well was detially on is
roamy. And when professional sports started to

12
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:55.240
get into bed with these sports book
agencies, what did they think was gonna

13
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.600
happen? Look at what was happening
with the NFO, and now the trickle

14
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.280
down of the fact of what's happening
in the NBA and the possibility, uh

15
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.760
player, Maybe I guess I want
to say throwing games based on you know

16
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.159
what people were wagering from the over
and under. I mean, didn't we

17
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.760
anticipate that this was gonna happen when
you opened Pandora's Box? I mean yeah,

18
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.599
I think it's I think that they've
done their best, if you will,

19
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.719
to regulate it. And the NFL
is certainly levied some very heavy fines

20
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:29.760
on guys. I mean that are
suspended right for seasons or Oasriquez just indefinite

21
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.879
right, I mean that, But
you open that Pandora's box. It's the

22
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.879
same thing with nil guys, like
how do you You can't reel it back

23
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.959
in? Right? Like you hear
the story about that point guard or the

24
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.680
center whoever it was at Kansas who
went and said he wanted a million bucks

25
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.519
and Kansas said, we'll give you
seven hundred fifty k. Like it's out

26
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:49.920
the bag now. I don't know
how you reel it in. I don't

27
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.159
know how you regulate it. And
so it's I mean, I don't know,

28
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.519
you know, I think they levy
those heavy punishments. Maybe guys will

29
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.959
listen, but apparently they don't.
So I think, yeah, the NFL

30
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.000
has guidelines that they put out.
It wasn't Rinquez eligible for reinstatement in July.

31
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.560
I believe, but it's you know, it's it's it's it's permeating the

32
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.719
league and there are to me,
I don't understand not being clear on the

33
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.599
rules, but apparently there are players
who are unclear on the rules. We

34
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.479
saw, you know, Calvin Ridley
and all that kind of stuff happen as

35
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.680
well. At the end of the
day, I mean, I go,

36
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:24.599
am I to tell somebody what to
do with their money. We get a

37
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.560
lot of text on here, well
why do you guys advocate for it?

38
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.000
And I'm like, I don't I
have a gate for any of it.

39
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.159
I mean I did. I did
endorse BET and GM. I had an

40
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.360
in the interest of old disclosure,
I had an endorsement to deal with them

41
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.199
for a while. But I don't
advocate for anything. You do what you

42
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.479
want with your money. I'm not
gonna tell you what to do or don't

43
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:39.400
do. Don't don't tell me what
to do or don't do with mine,

44
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.400
and we'll keep it even. But
the only thing I think that we're concerned

45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.080
about is what has happened with for
instance, Michael Porter Junior's little brother jon

46
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.319
Te Porter, where he found the
the one way to game the system for

47
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.680
your boys, and that's tell your
buddies to go put a bunch of money

48
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:54.919
on the unders on things. I'm
gonna fake an injury and I'm gonna get

49
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.199
out of here, and all the
unders are gonna cash. Yeah. I

50
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.000
mean, at the end of the
day, you're depending on guys to,

51
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.199
you know, uphold the integrity of
the game as they call it. You're

52
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.400
you know, there's you can lay
out the rules and you can tell these

53
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.280
guys not to do it, and
I think most of them won't, but

54
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.680
there's really nothing you can do when
it comes to human nature and that you

55
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.719
know, ninth guy out of ever, the one guy out of every ten

56
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.240
thinks he can bend the rules or
get away with it. And it is

57
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.080
mind boggling to me when you're making
that much money and you have that much

58
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.479
opportunity to just throw it all away. But you know, they don't think

59
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.879
they're going to get caught. And
I think again, you're just you're to

60
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.280
use the that's right word. You're
gambling on them to do the right thing.

61
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.039
Yeah. Not to pivot too hard
here, but this has been an

62
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:50.199
interesting month for sports overall, as
women's college basketball eclipsed the basketball world.

63
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.240
You look at the ratings, and
Caitlin Clark's certainly largely responsible, though I

64
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.879
think great teams from from South Carolina
and Daniel LSU and the rivalry there.

65
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.000
I think that all help boeth that
a little bit. But does that carry

66
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:06.360
forward because we have a w NBA
team that is already changing venues and locations

67
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.000
to try to make sure that Caitlin
Clark games are larger venues to cash in

68
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.960
on this. You know, this
is so funny. I was talking about

69
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:19.480
this with someone today and I'm curious
to see if it's going to continue forward

70
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.120
or not. I think initially it
will, right like you see that the

71
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.360
Aces are moving over to T Mobile
Arena for that game already, and everyone's

72
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.279
announcing. I mean, the CBS
just announced it renewed partnership with WNBA and

73
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.439
the ESPN and ABC. I think
thirty nine of the forty fever games are

74
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.839
gonna be nationally televised or something like
that. So I think initially it will

75
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.959
doesn't have staying power. I mean, that's always the question, right I

76
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.000
think it's like anything else, this
is this is a moment for the WNBA,

77
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:55.439
for for women's basketball specifically, and
it's what you do going forward,

78
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.920
right. You have to keep You
can't just sit on your laurel, so

79
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.160
to speak. Right, So,
what what are they going to do next

80
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.759
to keep intentifizing people to keep wanting
to keep watching the game, or does

81
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.759
it just have enough star power now
that it's only going to keep building.

82
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.720
I'm very curious. I don't know
what the answer to that is. Right

83
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.079
now, it certainly has a great
amount of star power and it's a whole

84
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.600
lot of fun, and you hope
they can continue it. I just think

85
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.160
it's going to be interesting to see, like mid season when you revisit this

86
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.079
the WNBA is there's still as much
hype. I don't know, but you

87
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.720
know, I hope there will be
speaking to that. I think every hero

88
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.079
needs a villain, and when you
look at women's basketball, that's kind of

89
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:38.160
one of those things that propelled it
to the forefront. But last night here

90
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:44.519
in Denver, there was some villains
coming into you know, the ball arena,

91
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.519
and that was the t Wolves,
and there was this simulcas as ESPN

92
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.000
they do all the time, but
it was on ESPN two and Kevin Hart

93
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.720
was sitting with Cedric the entertainer,
and he has some very interesting things to

94
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.319
say about NICOLEA. Yaks. I
want you to take a listen. They

95
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:10.000
cannot give Joker anymore VP. No
get a Joker anymore m vps. It's

96
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:16.160
not good in the NBA. Joker
cannot win another VP's just v P.

97
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.800
That's different. That's playing, that's
that's playing the game. But but the

98
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.079
league m v P. I feel
like you're right, like they can't really

99
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.279
do that at this moment. And
a great year, but it doesn't it

100
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.600
doesn't feel like that dominant year the
way I would say says you made a

101
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.639
very great man. You know what
I decided with you, Kevin, You

102
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:44.279
just did it. You just sold
me anybody thanks to everybody else. Now

103
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.279
that that was Kevin Hard talking with
Cedric Danner, tainer. But I found

104
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.839
that really interesting because the m v
P is one of those most talked about,

105
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.279
you know, accolades that are given
the sports athletes. And I feel

106
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.920
and maybe I've made feel a little
biased. And you tell me based on

107
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.519
I've seen do here, right,
Kevin haight, excuse me on point when

108
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.920
he just said, well, it's
not going to be a good thing for

109
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:15.399
the NBA to give it to Nicole
Jokic over shy Gilgas Alexander. No,

110
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.319
he's absolutely wrong. The definition of
an MVP is, first of all,

111
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.199
you can look up at Joki's numbers, right, I think he just passed

112
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.759
Will for you know, however,
I think he starred most now on a

113
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.560
sist all time for senators. I
mean, he's always doing something. You

114
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.399
know, He's always in the history
books for this, that or the other.

115
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.480
But the definition of an MVP is
someone who makes everyone around him better.

116
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.360
And you look at last night and
you have got Christian Brown doing these

117
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.759
crazy dugs and Peyton Watson having big
games, and you know who was ever

118
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.040
on the floor of Nikolaokicic looks like
a superstar, Right, What does Christian

119
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.279
Brown look like on another team?
I still think he talented, but he

120
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.680
met Nicola makes every single person on
that team better. Look at Aaron.

121
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.600
Aaron Gordon's career was like almost dying
out in the Magic here. He's the

122
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.279
perfect fit. He's got this incredible
chemistry with the Koliokic. I mean,

123
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.199
there's it's undeniable to me that I
think that what gets lost in the MVP

124
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.720
is who makes It's not just the
individual numbers, but it's who makes everyone

125
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.959
around them better. And that's why
I think Nathan mckinna should win the MVP

126
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.600
too, because if you look at
the other guys that are in contention for

127
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.399
the Art Trophy, the difference is
Mac has his whole line is super productive

128
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.279
as well. Everyone around him is
getting better, is doing better, is

129
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.879
putting up big numbers. That to
me, is such a big piece of

130
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.360
what an MVP should do and should
be. So I think that there's some

131
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:43.759
other things to this. I think
Kendrick Perkins started a whole thing last year

132
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.440
and if there was so much just
hate and vitriol and it it was terrible.

133
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.919
But I don't know. I don't
know how you can watch Nakoliokic on

134
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.679
a daily basis. And again I
think this is usually people who don't watch

135
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.879
Nikoliokic on a daily basis because you
can't get it and it's hard to see

136
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.919
it on TV and this, that
or the other. But when it comes

137
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.799
to the playoffs, everybody's watching them
and then all of a sudden, every

138
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.320
really like, oh wow, he's
the best player in the world. So

139
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.759
I think it's it's part of that
as well. But no I like Kevin

140
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.120
Hart, you do not like this? Take it off? Well? Who

141
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.639
knew Kevin Hart could be hilarious?
You know, I think it was that

142
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.360
funny. And then he said that, I was like, wow, okay,

143
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.879
oh, I'm being told he's not
joking. Yeah. First of all,

144
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.120
MVPs are earned. They're not they're
given. You know, they're awarded,

145
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.320
but they're awarded based on and Nicole
Yakice continues to earn it, and

146
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.799
I don't know, he's saying,
it's bad for the NBA for a player,

147
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.320
Oh, it's bad for the NBA
to think that you have to force

148
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.240
the award to someone who deserves it
less. And then to me, it

149
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.240
felt like, uh, with with
the embat situation, they almost did that

150
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.320
because they didn't want back to back
to back Nicola Jokic because you know of

151
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.480
the of the connotation there, and
I feel like that's stupid. I mean,

152
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.600
at the at the end of the
day, it's here in the award,

153
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.759
give it to him and move on
about your day. Right, I

154
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.799
don't know why. You're absolutely right
it should go to the best player in

155
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.960
the league. And it's very clear
who the why you're in the league is

156
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.240
so I'm not sure why that would
be bad for the league in any ways,

157
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.320
it's really not a good take.
Well he is what Ben and I

158
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.279
were kind of going back and forth, and you know, he let the

159
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.080
cat out of the bag, and
I think he just changed his answer for

160
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.679
the sake of the conversation. But
I asked him, I said, well,

161
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.639
with the Masters of you know,
being played, what's just harder to

162
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.960
do winning a Master's or winning a
gold jacket and becoming a Hall of Famer

163
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:39.159
in football? Well, I don't
know how many people have won the Masters

164
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.840
historically, how many years as the
Master there's three hundred something Hall of Famers.

165
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.360
I guess you could look at it
that way. I don't know that's

166
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:54.039
that's that's really tough. That's that's
debating. I don't know that's actually really

167
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.399
really tough. I think the thing
one thing with golf that's so tough is

168
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.440
it's such a mental game because you're
by yourself. I mean, yeah,

169
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.919
you got your caddy, but you
got to win that all by yourself a

170
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.879
lot of times. A Hall of
famer who certainly lifts his team up a

171
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.960
lot, but you do have the
team around you right to support you.

172
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.840
A lot of time. So I
think in that essence it's it's really hard,

173
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.120
but I don't know. I don't
feel like there's a right answer to

174
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.120
this one. That's thought you were
going to ask me, Like, I

175
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:28.480
don't know, I don't know.
That's yeah, I'm kind of it took

176
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.440
me a minute there. I'm like, for by the math, I think,

177
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.919
you know, maybe statistic it's the
same way if somebody asked you if

178
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.600
winning the lottery or climbing Mount Everest
was harder, Like, obviously physically climbing

179
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.559
Mount Everest is is more difficult,
but statistically speaking, it's more difficult to

180
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.399
win the lottery than climb Mount Everst. Yeah, I just think sometimes you'll

181
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.200
watch these guys, like some of
the best golfers in the world, and

182
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.480
you can just see them like mentally
crumble. It's it's the individual part of

183
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.840
it I think makes it a little
bit more challenging to win on your own.

184
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.240
But there's no one's trying to hit
you, rob no one. You're

185
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.240
just out there and are with people
watching sweating. If you have you you

186
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:15.440
know you're familiar with the Georgia heat. Yes, a minute, that's just

187
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.960
like you're gonna tell me like the
sports individuals, those are actual athletes.

188
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.080
That's what you have to tell as
a driver. I'm actually gonna amend my

189
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.879
answer, but for a different reason. Okay, it's harder to become a

190
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.759
Hall of Famer because even if you
have the best career, you are now

191
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.559
at the liberty of this voting committee, so you can put everything. At

192
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.720
golf, you win that message because
you won and you've had the best,

193
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.519
you know, four rounds out of
anyone. But with the Hall of Amer,

194
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.360
we see this a lot. There's
a lot of guys that probably should

195
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.440
be in there, but it's up
to the mercy of a committee, and

196
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.559
it's out of your hands once you've
retired. So that is a whole nother

197
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.480
wrench in things that I think makes
it harder because there's so many pieces you

198
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.360
can't control. So you're saying this
a gold jacket, right, I'm going

199
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.480
to say it's the goal jacket.
Thank you, Thank you, Robbie.

200
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.000
I see you year two under coach
Prime, if they sold something like eighteen

201
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.279
thousand, I think tickets for the
for the spring game. Is this is

202
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.279
this a year where CU has to
deliver on wins? Or is this you

203
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.639
know, is this still just a
building project for for coach Prime at this

204
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.519
point. I don't think the building
project because I think it's a very real

205
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.799
question of how long he may stay
for and nobody really knows that answer.

206
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.600
But the way he's constructed this team, which is primarily through the transfer portal,

207
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.080
has been is a win now model, and he's not been hasn't been

208
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.480
shy about that. He said,
that's exactly why it is. It's why

209
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.440
he doesn't have a lot of freshmen. So if you're going to go by

210
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.519
that model, then yeah, you
got to win now. That's the whole

211
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.840
essence of the way this team was
constructed. And I think off of last

212
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.279
year you went in and filled a
lot of holes from that wasn't there,

213
00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:01.480
particularly in the trenches. The wide
receiver room is obviously stacked an insane level,

214
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.360
so you seem to have a lot
more pieces. I think it is

215
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.120
it's a win this year type of
the thing. Does that mean how many

216
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.320
you got to win? More than
last year? For sure? But this

217
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.440
is not this is not really a
long term building project. This is certainly

218
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.120
a win now model, right and
we look forward to seeing that along with

219
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.480
kind of the cultural epicenter that coaches
created here in Colorado and seeing if that

220
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.080
translates into wins. Whether or not
that will er won't remains to be seen.

Romy We appreciate the time Roby Bean, sports anchor reporter at CBS News

222

223
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.679
How about them Piles for the national
title. Let's go most in college

224
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.279
hockey history. There we go.
That's right, go Piles. So appreciate
