00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.760
Good evening everybody, and welcome to
another edition of Fire Up. It's time

2
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:35.439
to get excited, right Fire Up, Fire Up. The title of the

3
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:42.479
show tonight, let the Madness continue. So if you are pulling yourself away

4
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:48.039
from March Madness right now, it's
going on second weekend of March Madness.

5
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:54.520
Let's talk about some of those matchups. First. Let's tonight's slate right now,

6
00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.280
it's Clemson versus Arizona, Connecticut versus
San Diego State, North Carolin Line

7
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.640
of versus Alabama, Iowa State versus
Illinois. Any of you guys want to

8
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.560
talk about any of those specific games
or teams. Well, Clemson versus Arizona.

9
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.840
This is a very close matchup.
Both teams play decent defense, but

10
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.159
they're both better on offense, and
the score shows it. Right now,

11
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.000
Clemson's up sixty three to fifty eight. The money line is on Clemson.

12
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.840
Of course, for some reason,
it's plus one forty five for the two

13
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.560
seed Arizona to win right now on
the current money line with eight minutes ago

14
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.879
in the second half, and that
may change at any second. Alls it

15
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.560
takes is one to three and then
that money line will change again. That's

16
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.640
true. I do know. They
were talking that this is one of the

17
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.040
first times in a while that all
in the first number ones and the number

18
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.799
two's made it to the second weekend. There hasn't been an upset of any

19
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.079
one of those this so far.
So Connecticut is kind of handling San Diego

20
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.920
State, and I kind of figured
that Connecticut looks awfully strong, awfully good.

21
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.599
Connecticut's one of my favorites for this
year just because they are that solid

22
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.520
team that plays good all around fundamental
basketball. They play old skull basketball.

23
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:22.080
They always have those two three and
four year guys. They don't usually have

24
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.879
a lot of one and done.
They're well coached. I love this team

25
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.800
to go all the way. And
you know what's funny about this Connecticut San

26
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.520
Diego State game is that they matched
up in the finals last year and Connecticut

27
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.759
won. So it's kind of cool
think where San Diego kind of wants to

28
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.800
get revenge for that loss and say, hey, let's bounce you early.

29
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.560
Maybe we can go to the national
title again and win it. But ultimately

30
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.919
I think you can, as they're
show is the better team. But I'm

31
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.080
hoping. I'm kind of looking at
vance these matchups. I'm hoping it's kind

32
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.360
of UNC against Arizona because I want
to see I'm a UNC fan. I

33
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.080
want to see r. J.
Davis against his old teammate Caleb Love who

34
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.960
used to play for UNC, So
it would be really cool to see a

35
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.599
a reunion of sorts. I think
it's interesting that Illinois is playing Iowa State.

36
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.639
Those are two Midwestern teams too.
That should be interesting. That's a

37
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.520
two to three matchup. That should
be a good game, yeah, which

38
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.199
is crazy because normally you don't get
a two to three matchup this early.

39
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:38.479
You know, normally this is the
sweets of the Elite eight. Is when

40
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.199
you see two three matchups, a
two to three matchup in this week sixteen,

41
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.960
that's a little rare, it is. And the crazy thing is I've

42
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:53.719
been tell people after Iowa State when
they're conference championship, after they killed Houston,

43
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.599
I was like, look out for
this team because and then it's funny

44
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.400
because the last time I remember ill
being really really good, and they've probably

45
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.960
been good before this too, but
was two thousand and five. I remember

46
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:13.199
living and just moved back to Charlotte
for the second time. It was UNC

47
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.399
against Illinois the National Charitianship and Darren
Williams played for University of Illinois and that

48
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:25.120
was in two thousand and five.
So we got some people in the chat

49
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.920
room. Thank you, Blake,
it's good evening to you as well,

50
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.560
and Felicity, keep it up,
Jeremy, it's good stuff. Well those

51
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.920
are tonight's matchups. Now tomorrow night's
matchups are the ones that well, one

52
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.759
of them I'm a little more interested
in. Obviously, Marquette versus NC State

53
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.560
and it's a two and eleven and
that's the lower North Carolina State's the lowest

54
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.759
seed yet in there, but that
one kind of still scares me. I'm

55
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:59.439
Marquete's playing good ball, but North
Carolina State's not a easy game either.

56
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.920
It took the night off. I
wanted to be a little smart Alec tonight

57
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:10.360
they're blake, but I decided to
be clean and just go with a nice,

58
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.360
freshly shaved head. Look. I
like it. I like that matchup

59
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.959
because as Tario fans, we're not
supposed to like NC State, But you

60
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.160
know what, they ended the regular
season horribly. They had a bunch of

61
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.040
losses, and then they go into
the ACC Tournament and they beat Duke in

62
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.879
the semi finals and then they beat
Chapel Hill in the finals, and now

63
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:41.879
they're taking that momentum and bringing it
into March Madness, which can uh what's

64
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.480
it called? Marquette's the best,
second best team in the Big East after

65
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.160
Yu cun But I expect that to
be a hard fought game. Mm hmmm.

66
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:56.720
I agree. I think he states
a little better defensively than offensively,

67
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:02.279
and that's what's gonna give Marquette a
little bit of fits. Yeah, for

68
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:09.199
sure, Candy, when will the
merch come out? Blake ass? Oh,

69
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.680
I'm not sure. We're in negotiation. We're talking about it, so

70
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.560
we'll let you know as soon as
we know. We'll definitely let you know.

71
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.480
Well, how is your bracket looking. I have a lot of brackets.

72
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.920
I have a lot of brackets because
I'm in a bracket challenge with my

73
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.199
friend and his family. I've done
it for eight years. I've won multiple

74
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.879
times. They're doing Okay, I
Purdue winning it all in one of you

75
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.639
and c winning it all in one
of you come winning at all. So

76
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.279
I wouldn't say great. I'd say
on a scale one to ten, i'd

77
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:45.680
say you six, that's fair.
The last time I did a bracket was

78
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.199
two years ago and I was seventy
five percent right at the elite eight.

79
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:57.720
Wow. Wow, I only had
two teams wrong, one on each half

80
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.680
of the bracket. You know what
the funny thing is those two teams were

81
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:08.639
the ones in the finals, and
really, no, I have I have

82
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.839
a feeling there's a lot of brackets
that are still intact though with all the

83
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.399
one and two's still in there at
this point, I think a lot of

84
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.399
brackets are still Yes, your bracket
is still at one hundred percent. That's

85
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:27.600
amazing. Wow, you're at you're
you probably now were you not at one

86
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.439
hundred percent last at the end of
it in the field of thirty two and

87
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.639
it got to one hundred percent because
you had the right teams getting passed.

88
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:43.959
That's how that was, Like,
m M, interesting because I've seen that

89
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.600
before. We're I seen a guy
go fifty percent in the first round and

90
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.199
then hit all one hundred percent in
the second round to be one hundred percent

91
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.120
right at the sweet sixteen, and
everybody's like, well, how does that

92
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.800
happen? I said, well,
no, from the start, that's amazing.

93
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.040
So you're going for that perfect score
to get the millions, aren't you?

94
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.920
From Quicken Loans. Blake, I
need to get you on the show,

95
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.199
and I need to calm your nerves
and get you on the show.

96
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.759
Since you're one hundred percent, you
need to need to come on one of

97
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.519
these shows. Yes with us.
That's amazing. That is amazing. That

98
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.720
is one of the other the matchups
tomorrow that I'm kind of looking forward to

99
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.279
is also Perdue Gonzaga. I think
that could be a good game. And

100
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.080
Creighton Tennessee is another two to three
matchup. And then of course there's Duke

101
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.039
in Houston, YEP and Duken Houston. That's another one where it's more evenly

102
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.159
matched as well. The money line
is plus one fifty five for Duke and

103
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:52.879
minus one ninety for Houston. Duke's
got a lot of good shooters on their

104
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:58.080
team, especially Jeremy Roach and their
freshman McCain went off last game for thirty

105
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.600
plus points. They have Kyle phil
Lapowski is a big man who can drive

106
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:09.159
the lane. Perdue then Zaga.
I think Zach Edy's just gonna feed like

107
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.919
Mark Fus a great coach, and
he probably has a big strategy against him.

108
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.279
But you know what, Zach Edy
is up for Player of the Year

109
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:24.879
and there's a reason for that.
He's just killing it. Grandiser twelve.

110
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.440
Good to see your buddy, Glad
that came in. Scott is actually taking

111
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.919
the night off. He needed a
night off, so he decided he was

112
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.360
gonna there was he normally does Pundit's
pundit before this show. And there is

113
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.799
a couple of other people that couldn't
make it tonight. For some some people

114
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.720
are religious. It is Holy Thursday
if if you're religious, or Maudie Thursday,

115
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.960
whatever you might call it. So
some couldn't make it. So they

116
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.240
decided to cancel the show and they
re shared one of their shows previous.

117
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:05.320
But you've got us on here,
me, Jeremy and Will. Scott's actually

118
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.519
watching the red Wing game. Let's
put it. Let's be honest right now,

119
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:16.399
what he's doing because the red Wings
don't win this game. Oh they're

120
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:24.080
down Carolina scored for nothing. I'm
sorry, Cocaines. We're going to see

121
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.200
who are trying to get credentialed for
it, So we'll see what wonder I

122
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.320
wonder what the scores are for the
games now for March Madness. Now that

123
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:37.120
Jeremy brought up a few minutes getting
the light to show support. Congrats Jeremy

124
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.679
getting over four hundred subs. Not
a long journey, but you know what,

125
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.399
I prefer the long, slow journey
versus getting a whole bunch of the

126
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.240
clickbait guys. I don't believe in
sporting the rumors. I like shooting the

127
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.519
rumors down with facts and I'm right, yes, And I was on Jerremany.

128
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.399
Uh yeah, I think I was
on that show. You were on

129
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.080
you were in the chat on the
four hund No, you were on the

130
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:11.960
four hundred show. Yeah. Yeah, it was Orlando. One more year

131
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.519
before the Wings are contenders. The
Iiserman will get us there. I kind

132
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.399
of said that they would be outliers
to the playoffs this year. They may

133
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.159
or may not make it, and
they were in there for a long time,

134
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.240
but then they went and got in
bed with waste management and put that

135
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.960
stupid patch on there and went on
a losing streak. I don't know what

136
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:39.440
it is about anything to do with
waste management, Green Bay colors that causes

137
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.600
problems for teams. I don't get
it. I don't know either. I

138
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:52.840
don't like advertisements on jerseys. It's
terrible. Well, okay, unfortunately that's

139
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.919
going to continue As more and more
sponsors get into other sports, you're going

140
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:05.000
to see more and more on this
jerseys. Yes, I guess the injury

141
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.039
to Larkin happened right after they had
the Priority one waste management patch put on

142
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.000
the jersey. I blame the I
blame the curse of sponsorship. Yes,

143
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.360
that's too funny. So right now
Clemson is up sixty six sixty one with

144
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.600
four h six left. Wow.
So and Connecticut is fifty five. San

145
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.399
Diego State thirty nine with eleven forty
nine left, so that that game isn't

146
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.000
as close. But there's other news
today. Let's face it, today was

147
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:46.399
technically opening day for Major League Baseball. For all you baseball fans, the

148
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.159
Boys of Summer are finally playing games
that actually matter. I can tell you

149
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.960
my team rain out. Their opening
is scheduled for tomorrow. They're playing at

150
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.519
in the Mets Stadium. Obviously,
this is one of the This has been

151
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.440
a topic on all their shows,
is that why baseball starts so early,

152
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.039
and then when they do, why
they start in places that it's cold,

153
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.440
it's wet, it's rainy. Now, had the Mets come to Milwaukee,

154
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.919
were you'd be guaranteed a game because
they have the dome, so why are

155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:28.320
they starting in outdoor stadiums at this
point is beyond me, but they are

156
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.519
so we can go over a couple
I mean the Tigers, they're actually on

157
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:41.360
top of the division. Screwball had
an amazing game. Bias scored the game

158
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.159
only in game winning run. Hovey
Bias, Mister, I have the plate

159
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.480
discipline of a blind man. Uh
yeah, he better fix that. Damn

160
00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:00.440
bet, you're right. I have
Arizona winning, but it may be Oh

161
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.879
no, Uh, they are actually
within three right now at six sixty six

162
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.639
sixty three right now, with two
minutes left, two minutes thirty seconds left,

163
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:15.200
they still got a shot and the
line just changed to minus two fifty

164
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.720
on Cleans and the plus one ninety
five for Arizona. So it's anyone's game.

165
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.039
So the the Cubbies are tied right
now with the Rangers one to one,

166
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.559
top of six. We have a
couple of games that haven't One of

167
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.320
the games that played this earlier today
was the Baltimore Oreos with my former brewer

168
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.799
Corbyn Burns pitching up, I mean, pitched six innings eleven strikeouts. Oreos

169
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:50.399
took it eleven to three. Crushed
me. Crushed me. I felt that

170
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.759
you know who, you know who
drove by us in you know who former

171
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:01.759
brewer Mark Canna drove one to the
gap wadd in center field and Baia's got

172
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.679
the stroll in from second. Good
for them, Good for them. So

173
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.480
that's a that's a double whammy for
you. Can't I get to the game

174
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:16.759
winning RBI for the Tigers. That
Burns does what he's doing right now out

175
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.159
out and he went in the division. That's the bad part, right.

176
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.000
Oh yeah, well just kind of
like Counsole console jumpship and went in the

177
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.759
division too. He's you know,
over the covey. Look. Yeah,

178
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:37.159
but he took your picture. I
know, I know, Okay, okay.

179
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:43.960
So the other news in baseball happens
to be this whole investigation with o

180
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.840
Tani. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says
he hopes the sports gambling investigation of Los

181
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:56.559
Angeles Dodgers star shohe Atani will be
short, but he's not sure. And

182
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:03.639
the problem is is normally they can. There's there's an ongoing investigation with the

183
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:11.360
I R S right now and show
Hay's interpreter and friend and because of that,

184
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:18.480
MLB has to do a separate investigation, and so they they can't piggyback

185
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.039
or get so they have to do
their own investigation. So this should be

186
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.080
interesting. I don't know how long
it'll take. Because of that show,

187
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.600
Hay is saying he he has no
knowledge of him paying anybody else's debts or

188
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:40.279
booking anything. I hope for his
sake, I read, and for the

189
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.799
sake of the game, I hope
he's that's the truth. I agree.

190
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:52.679
But the thing that makes his interpreter
look bad is his resume is full of

191
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:59.519
falsifications. His book written on his
own life is full of falsifications. On

192
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.759
his Red to Me, he claimed
that he was the interpreter for dice game

193
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.759
at Sosaka while he was with the
Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox

194
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.640
has came out and said he has
never worked for this team. He said

195
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.720
he went to Harvard to learn how
to speak to get his English doctor.

196
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:22.839
Harvard says, there's no record of
this man here, So you have that

197
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.960
type of lying going on. And
then as soon as he's caught well,

198
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:33.880
he was helping me. Yeah,
it's throwing. He's throwing his friend under

199
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.920
the bus, and it's a sad
thing because he's been friends with Otani for

200
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:49.759
fifteen years and I can't, I
cannot justify that type of backstabbing. Mm

201
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:56.960
hmm. Imagine avoided two hundred million
dollar contract. Yes, he was avoided

202
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:04.200
six hundred million dollars. That situation, the whole situation's pretty pretty sad.

203
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.039
I agree with Jeremy. Jeremy,
I can't. I can't. I couldn't

204
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:12.519
stand. I can't stand backstabbers like
that, and especially lying about oh I

205
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.400
went to Harvard to do this,
I went to the Red Sox and I

206
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.319
did this, and then it comes
out, oh, you didn't. And

207
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.920
then you've known this guy who you're
you're his age, he's probably paying you

208
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:30.079
a lot of money to be as
interpreter, and you have gambling issues and

209
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.079
you lie to the irs and a
bunch of stuff. It's I I hope

210
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.720
the things about Otani and Otani didn't
have to deal with it. Hopefully it's

211
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.519
not true where he was involved too, because you know what, that would

212
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:48.200
personally take away probably Baseball's biggest star
right now, and uh, it would

213
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:57.480
probably take a lot of viewership away
from baseball. Here's the thing. If

214
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.279
it's proven, all he bet on
was Major League soccer and Formula One sports

215
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:10.359
like it. It looks like in
the initial investigation shoey Atani is clean anyways,

216
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.599
because according to Major League Baseball's gambling
rules, he just cannot gamble on

217
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.039
Major League Baseball. That's the only
thing they have written in their rules.

218
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.240
It has nothing to do with any
other sports. So if it's proven that

219
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.480
that's all that guy bet on and
he didn't use any inside information to bet

220
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:33.799
on the Major League at all,
shoey Atani will be cleared and it should

221
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.599
be a short investigation if that's what
his debts are for. So that's the

222
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:45.680
other thing, the jme O thing. I reale articles about it. I

223
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.359
did a deep dive into the surveys
that was done with the players around the

224
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:55.640
league. He kind of got the
shaft because that rule was not really advertised

225
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.160
prior to that year. And I
still think if you're not betting NFL football,

226
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:10.960
you're not doing anything wrong. All
right, Well, Manfred came out

227
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.519
and said sports betting is going to
go on in the United States, whether

228
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.880
we have a relationship with any particular
company, any gambling enterprise, or not.

229
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.680
I don't think it's unusual to have
a set of rules that applies to

230
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.880
fans and executives and private citizens out
there on one hand, and players and

231
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:33.200
people who have the ability to affect
the outcome of the play on the field.

232
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.200
There are all sorts of situations into
which you have a privilege, in

233
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:44.160
this case, the privilege to play
in Major League Baseball, and that comes

234
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:49.160
with a responsibility to refrain from engaging
in certain types of behavior, in this

235
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:56.799
case gambling that are legal for other
people. So I think it's going to

236
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:04.559
be interesting to see what we find
out. And then m yes, exactly

237
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:11.119
exactly. Well, Clemson is up
seventy two sixty seven with fifty seven seconds

238
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:18.839
left. Close it is. They're
going back and forth real hard, But

239
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.920
it looks like Clemson may pull it
out because with lessen am in and left

240
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.960
at the five point, they need
to depend on a real big swing,

241
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:33.720
either a turnover, a big stop, or they foul on a three point

242
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.680
shot. That was the only thing
that'll really save Arizona right now. Yeah,

243
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.359
So Jeremy, I'm going to have
you comment because this leads right into

244
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:51.279
your topic. Orlando just put up
yes and no Number one, the hip

245
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:56.240
drop rule. I believe it's mislabeled
when I go back and look at the

246
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.960
types of tackling that it's talking about. The hip drop technique is how you're

247
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:06.359
taught to catch up to a player
and pull them down from behind, because

248
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:11.400
what you're doing is you're wrapping behind
his midsection and you're dropping your weight with

249
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.519
your hips to pull them backwards,
which would pull them on top of you.

250
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.359
It's actually the wrap and roll is
the one that causes the injuries.

251
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:23.119
That is where they either roll over
the top of their head or they roll

252
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.920
over their lower extremities, and they're
more about rolling over the lower extremities because

253
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.880
that's where you have the accidental acls, Achilles, cash strains, hip strains,

254
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.640
all that stuff. So I just
think they misnamed it and people are

255
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:45.000
overreacting overall. If you actually look
at the rule they're talking about, it's

256
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:49.319
actually only may get called ten to
twenty times this season. There is no

257
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:55.920
automatic ejection like there is for it
in high school and college because the wrap

258
00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.960
and roll tackle has been illegal there
for the last ten years. I didn't

259
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:06.440
know that, thank you. So
Jaden Bradley just made a three point jump

260
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.519
shut. So it's seventy two seventy
with forty nine seconds left, Orlandos.

261
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.559
Orlando says he feels better now,
thanks, well you should. I just

262
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:22.400
wanted to make sure I cleared that
up. Awesome, awesome, the old

263
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:30.240
bend and snap dude, No,
this isn't a legally blonde grandiser. You're

264
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:37.039
great. That is funny. Okay, let's see. We talked about NFL,

265
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.880
we talked a little. What should
we go to next, guys,

266
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:48.440
Draymond Green, I know your favorite
topic, getting ejected again. It's gonna

267
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.480
happen. He's an idiot. What
else do you have to say? He

268
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.480
is an aggressive more. He's not
an idiot, let me get that wrong.

269
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.279
He's an idiot savant. He's actually
a very smart individual. He's a

270
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:07.079
very savvy defender. He's very good
at what he does. But the problem

271
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:12.920
is he can't control his anger.
He's a hothead. It's the nineteenth career

272
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.039
rejection and the first since returning from
the suspension. He ended up missing sixteen

273
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.920
games over a month, which he
sought out counseling following a string of on

274
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:27.960
court incidents. He also had received
a separate five game suspension in November.

275
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:37.759
I think what he really needs is
a change of scenery. Like Jeremy and

276
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.319
I were talking before the show,
he needs a change of scenery. Steve

277
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:48.440
Kerr agreed that he should have been
kicked out and you know, ejected.

278
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.200
And I think at this point and
Steven Steph Curry the same. But Steph

279
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.559
is saying he needs them on the
court. Well, you know what,

280
00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:03.119
I think the best thing for Draymond
is a change of scenery. I couldn't

281
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.759
agree more. The guy. The
guy's good defender, but the temper is

282
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:11.519
what's driving him to get ejected.
And it's getting old real fast, because

283
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.920
like it seems like every other week
we read article, Draymond Green ejected.

284
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:26.720
Draymond Green ejected. I agree,
I agree. Uh, Orlando Escarbono Junior,

285
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.079
I can't agree more. She'd the
same way, either love him in

286
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:37.240
your squad or hate him because he's
the enemy. As a matter of fact,

287
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.559
you want to know who could probably
benefit from Draymont Green on their team

288
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.079
the most, and you could probably
get them for a very cheap pick right

289
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:55.440
now. The Detroit Pistons defensively,
inside, they suck. I have my

290
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.319
own nickname for the Pistons that I
have put in the chat on many of

291
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.680
shows that can and sen mm hmm. And I will not say them here

292
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:10.240
because I do not want to offend
Scott or Candy or Will. But I

293
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:15.759
if Troy Weaver really wants to save
his job and make Tom Gores look like

294
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:22.759
a good owner, send them in
a unprotected late first round pick, because

295
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.920
you will get one for somebody mm
hmm. And a second round pick,

296
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.279
and go ahead and get Draymond and
throw any one of those role players on

297
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:41.200
the bench to them. Draymond Green
with Jade and Ivy and Beef stew with

298
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:47.799
Caid and Killian in the backcourt.
Come on. That would be because when

299
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.200
Cad and Killian's on the floor,
they do have chemistry. Even though they're

300
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:56.880
both point guards. Right now,
Killian's skill set is more towards shooting guard

301
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.079
because he's not a great ball handler, whereas Kate does handle the ball better.

302
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:10.559
And where he makes his makes his
mistakes is while he's passing, trying

303
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:14.319
to do that no look pass and
he's not really paying attention and he's just

304
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.079
a little off or something like that. That's what I see with Kate.

305
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.720
Well, I have to say,
I'm sorry, Blake, your your bracket

306
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:26.599
has just been busted. Clemson upset
Arizona seventy seven seventy two. It is

307
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:33.599
a final. Wow wow. Yes, kudos to Clemson. Yeah, they

308
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.440
got a good place named ke J
Hall, who I've been looking at.

309
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.720
He's a stud. Yes, gives
an edge to a team. I agree

310
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:51.400
McCarty was that for the Wings?
Yeah, I mean March Madness. Indeed,

311
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.920
Yes, Arizona's been a well coached
squad. Kudos of them. They've

312
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.720
made it to the Sweet sixteen.
What now, I think it's eight years

313
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.759
in a row. Yep, sounds
maybe only missed one in the last year.

314
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.519
They last eight years, so they're
a well coached team. They'll be

315
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:12.440
back. And nil was making it. So you're seeing less one and dons.

316
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:18.440
You're seeing a more finished product here
in basketball in the NCAA, and

317
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.039
I think that's a good thing.
The one and done was killing the sport

318
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.079
because unless you had three to one
and nuns on your roster, you couldn't

319
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:33.440
contend, right exactly I will I
will say I don't know if because I

320
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.079
did not watch the Clemson Arizona game, but I can tell you that Arizona

321
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:42.880
only shot thirty seven percent from the
field, seventeen percent from free from three

322
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:48.640
pointers and sixty eight point sixty eight
percent free throws. Those percentages, you're

323
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.680
not gonna win the game. So
I don't know if Clemson's defense was that

324
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.680
good that took away some of that
and made those shots harder, or if

325
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.599
Arizona just wasn't hot. And let
let's face it, part of March madness

326
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.599
is getting hot at the right time
and staying hot. Well, if you

327
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.960
go on an average, your winning
team has over seventy percent on the three

328
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:15.400
throws alone. It's twenty five percent
or better from three, and it's forty

329
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:19.160
percent or better from the floor.
That's it across the board. Those are

330
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:26.039
your average numbers for any winning team, whether pro or college. Yep I

331
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:32.640
agree, yep I agree, I
agree. What other topics do you guys

332
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.920
want to talk about tonight? Well
we could. What do you think of

333
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:41.839
the new kickoff rules? I want
to know your thought on it, because,

334
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.680
well, you know, with the
NFL the new kickoff rule, if

335
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.240
I understood it correctly, both teams
will line up. You got the eleven

336
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.920
guys for the kickoff team. The
receiving team will have nine up front and

337
00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:00.519
two back to receive between the twenty
and the goal line. So what's supposed

338
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.039
to happen is the kickoff happens and
no one runs past the kicker. The

339
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.200
kicker is the only one moving at
this point, and he stops after the

340
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.880
ball has left its foot yep.
And until somebody touches it out of the

341
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.119
two receivers or it hits the field, or it hits the field, no

342
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.920
one is to move. Correct.
So the way I heard it is,

343
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.839
if it goes out before the twenty
yard line out of bounds, it comes

344
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.799
out to the forty as usual.
If it goes out of bounds in that

345
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.960
other area, it's at the thirty
five, in between the twenty and the

346
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.119
goal line, And if it rolls
through the end zone, it only comes

347
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:42.440
out to the twenty five. Now, now, if it lands in the

348
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:47.480
end zone, it still comes out. If it lands through the end in

349
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:51.160
the end zone and isn't touched,
it comes out at the thirty five again,

350
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:55.359
correct, I believe. So the
landing zone is supposed to be between

351
00:30:55.400 --> 00:31:00.480
the twenty and the goal line.
Now here's the thing. This is going

352
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.319
to bring the kick return back.
And what I'm gonna say it is is

353
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:08.400
what's gonna happen is your average place
ball placement for a team that returns kicks

354
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.559
with a good returner is going to
between the thirty seven and fifty every possession.

355
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.480
I agree. I agree because you
said that the one team, the

356
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.440
one team's gonna be lined up where
they kick off from from the thirty five.

357
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.680
The other one's gonna be lined up
on the forty. Uh. These

358
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:30.799
are exactly from the XFL. If
you go watch the XFL last year,

359
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:37.119
it is their kickoff rules and it
actually has helped them actually have kick returns.

360
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.279
And that's what they're doing, is
they're bringing the kick return back and

361
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:44.599
they're making it exciting yet more safe
than it used to be. That's the

362
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.799
biggest thing. By having your nine
players stand there until the ball is there.

363
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:56.759
The days of shutouts are over.
Yeah, because unless it's a dominating

364
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.519
defense that shuts the run game down
and can stifle of pass at the same

365
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:08.000
time, I shut out and I
love it. I love the kick return.

366
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:13.400
I'm glad we're finally going to see
the next Devin Hester out there.

367
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.440
I'm tired of this. Oh I'm
gonna wave for a fair catch and just

368
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:21.839
catch it. You can't do This
is why I love it. It took

369
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.160
away the fair catch role. Yep, the fair catch rule is gone.

370
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.559
It's it's non existent because if you
let it roll and let's say it just

371
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:37.920
touches the as of your foot as
it rolls by, it brings back importance

372
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.519
to the person that's catching that ball
too, though, So now you're gonna

373
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:49.039
find it it. Whereas sometimes they
were putting people out there, let's say,

374
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.240
weren't as how should I say,
experienced maybe at some points because oh,

375
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:55.920
just go out there and do the
fair catch and catch it if it's

376
00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.920
out between certain yard lines. Whereas
now you you can't do that. So

377
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:05.400
now you're going to pay somebody to
make this play. And you can have

378
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.920
some really good field position if you've
got good speed and good hands, right,

379
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.759
it has to be a combination of
both. You can't have you can't

380
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.640
have great hands and no speed because
that's not going to help you. Right.

381
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.880
I'm just saying, you know,
you're not going to put a two

382
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:30.920
hundred and eighty pounds four to seven
running tight end back there, even though

383
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.920
that guy would be hard to tackle, You're still not putting them back there.

384
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.920
But what you will see is when
you have a struggling, super fast

385
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:44.160
wide receiver like the one that's coming
out in the draft this year. Like

386
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.279
if he struggles, Xavier, you're
worthy. He will go to the return

387
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:54.440
team. Cleveand Raymond is what has
already been a Pro Bowl and All parroturner

388
00:33:54.519 --> 00:34:00.480
for Detroit. He will be on
one side of the field and if Jamo

389
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:07.920
struggles, will be right beside him, because that's what he did the best

390
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:12.480
at Alabama And Dave pipp was the
one he turned, who turned the scouting

391
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:17.280
staff at Detroit onto him because he
was one for five and everybody, and

392
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:21.880
everybody says, what do you mean
one for five for every five touches he

393
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.800
had a touchdown in the kick return
game for Alabama that year. Yeah,

394
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:36.320
thats explosive. He hated. Yes, Rod Smart, that would be awesome,

395
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.840
just a week like NBA didn't nickname
jerseys. Let's have a week of

396
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:46.199
fun. That would be fun.
That would be fun. I agree,

397
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:51.920
I agree. I think I think
it's cool that we're gonna move some of

398
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:57.280
the NFL adopt some of the rules
from the XFL because I think that was

399
00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:01.000
a more scoring league and I thought
it was fun, And I think there

400
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.400
are a lot of people out there
that like that, that like more offense.

401
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:08.880
Yeah, but you know what,
when the defenses were really good in

402
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:15.599
the XFL, guess what those were
championship teams. All of them made the

403
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:22.559
playoffs, the ones that played good
defense. Do I see drafting Worthy at

404
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:29.920
twenty nine? No, that's not
what I said. I still like if

405
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.639
you want a guy that has the
hands, the speed, even though he's

406
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.880
not that good at getting separation,
he's great at contested catches and breaking tackles,

407
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.079
I like the other guy from Texas
better. It's a don A Mitchell.

408
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:44.920
If you're gonna take one at twenty
nine, that's who I'd grab.

409
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:53.119
Yep, I agree. So going
back to March madness, Connecticut is really

410
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:59.239
taking into San Diego State. Now
they are up seventy one or seventy three

411
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:04.199
forty five with four minutes and thirty
seconds left. They should have been and

412
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:08.880
if you were smart, you'd have
bet the them to win by the points

413
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:14.280
margin at fifteen point five, because
that was way better odds than taking them

414
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:17.320
on the money line, because taking
you count on the money line in this

415
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:24.480
game was negative ten thousand. Yep. Wow. But at the same time,

416
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.440
the other team only had a plus
one forty five chance to win.

417
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:36.119
That is crazy. That is crazy. I did want to now that we

418
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.039
were talking back to March madness,
I did want to touch on the fact

419
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:46.239
that Michigan went in and hired Dusty
May away from fau FAU is paying Dusty.

420
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:51.159
There's a lot of people down here
that were upset with Dusty May because

421
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.880
he had just signed a new contract
a year ago. But come on,

422
00:36:54.079 --> 00:37:00.360
let's face the people. FAU small
gym, good hearts, don't get me

423
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:06.000
wrong, but we're paying him one
million dollars. Michigan offers him three point

424
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.440
seventy five million. Who's going to
turn that down? Right? And that's

425
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.719
before his incentives. That's his base
salary. It's it's just like everybody says

426
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:20.079
that nobody's going to be able to
take that guy out of Tennessee as head

427
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.679
coach. As an offensive coordinator in
the NFL, his base salary is two

428
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:29.440
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars.
He makes nine million if they win a

429
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:35.679
national championship as the football team.
So it's it's apples to oranges, is

430
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.199
what you guys are talking about.
If he gets offered three million dollars to

431
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:45.039
be an NFL offensive coordinator, I'm
quite sure he's telling Tennessee to kick rocks.

432
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:51.920
Yes, moddy, but I am. I am excited because Fau now

433
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:58.159
has hired head coach John Jackis and
he comes from he was at Baylor for

434
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:04.039
seven seasons, including the team national
championship season in twenty twenty one, and

435
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:09.320
he spent time at Gonzaga as director
of operations under Mark fu So he's got

436
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:15.360
a good pedigree and he will be
They're going to officially announce him tomorrow at

437
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:20.280
a press conference, So Scott and
I are going to be headed over there

438
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.559
tomorrow to cover the press conference.
Nice, So that'll be cool. Yes,

439
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:30.079
Yes, I'm excited to hear him
and hear his take about Fau and

440
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.280
how he feels with the change and
stuff like that, about Dusty Main coming

441
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.079
to Michigan too. I also want
to address the fact that he was penciled

442
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:44.800
in to either be at Oregon or
at Louisville. That was the two shoeings

443
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:49.280
for him to have a job,
because he was a staffer with Oregon at

444
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:53.119
one time before he got into coaching, and then Louisville wanted him and he

445
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:59.119
had his I think his wife or
her family or whatever was alumni alumnus of

446
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:05.000
Louisville, and he chose Michigan so
and I don't think it was just because

447
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:08.800
of the money. I think it's
because of the lure of the school historically.

448
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:13.480
And I'm not just talking I'm talking
about in sports in general. They

449
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:17.719
have a level of excellence that's expected
in Michigan. He wants to be a

450
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:22.599
part of that. And plus,
Michigan is starting to embrace the NIL and

451
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:27.440
I'm not talking about the school,
I'm talking about the state. So that's

452
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:32.000
going to make it easier for him
to get transfers in. And yes,

453
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:38.400
coach Bline had a hand in that
as well. But a grandizer asks a

454
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.840
great, great question that I'd like
to address. He goes so far the

455
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:45.159
NFL rule changes that have happened this
offseason. Which rules do you like the

456
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.519
most, Which do you like the
least? In which area should be addressed?

457
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:54.880
Well, it's not just a kickoff
rule that they adopted from the XFL,

458
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.519
because now there is a sky judge
for intentional grind and late hits on

459
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:06.199
the quarterback that can review any of
those at any time. So basically there's

460
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.719
going to be a TV timeout anytime
that penalty is called because it's going to

461
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:15.079
be a thirty second review, frame
by frame right away, and if there's

462
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:20.599
anything called wrong, it's to be
reversed immediately. And I think it's about

463
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:24.679
time and it's just a stepping stone
to it being just like the XFL and

464
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:31.000
having this guy judge review every penalty
to make sure it's called correctly. I

465
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:36.239
agree, extra review. And the
other rule that I like is exactly this

466
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:40.239
one, the extra review if you
win one. Bringing it back where you

467
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:45.119
only got to win one of your
challenges to get a third challenge. I

468
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.719
think it's a great idea, but
you have to use that challenge before the

469
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.559
first half where you don't have that
choice, so win or lose. If

470
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.760
you think there's even a fifty to
fifty chance you're going to win the challenge,

471
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.320
and it's getting close to the end
of the first half, I'd as

472
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.639
well throw the flag because if you
win, you get an extra one.

473
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.280
If you don't, you lost the
time out, and at the half,

474
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.679
it's not as bad as it is
at the end of the second half.

475
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:15.280
You're still in the game at that
point. I agree Jeremy in Orlando,

476
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.440
I would say you are correct.
B Line did have an influence from what

477
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:25.440
I've read too. I also know
that May said he thought Michigan was the

478
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:30.920
best fit for him and his family. He thought he had the highest chance

479
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:38.400
of success and the best support because
of all of the fans and all the

480
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:44.880
support that they have there at Michigan
because it has Yes, it hasn't been

481
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.920
as elite lately, but it was
not too long ago, so you know,

482
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.760
he and he plans to use both
recruiting and the transfer portal, which

483
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:01.519
he jokingly compared to speed dating,
which I thought was an interesting take,

484
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:07.320
but it's true, Like part of
their challenge is this transfer portal, and

485
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:15.519
it is for all of the sports, not just basketball, and here we

486
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:22.599
go, and that has to deal
with a lot of what Mike Tomlin said

487
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:24.960
about two weeks ago on a podcast
where it was a bunch of it was

488
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.960
a coach's podcast, and he goes, do you want to know what I'm

489
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:35.639
sick of hearing about in college and
in pross coaches saying that they cannot coach

490
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:39.480
a guy because the player isn't good
enough because they didn't fit their system.

491
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:44.280
That's a coaching problem. Your job
as a coach is to teach your player,

492
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.400
how to fit in your system.
If you can't do it, you're

493
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:55.280
not a good coach, then go. There's a difference. There's a difference

494
00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:00.599
between somebody who's been there three years
and doesn't fit, because that means they're

495
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:06.320
either a not coachable or b don't
have the talent to be coached than somebody

496
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:14.920
who's been there a year and they
move on. Josh Rosen, I'm just

497
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:19.320
saying he's been the redheaded stepchild of
the NFL. He has bounced from bad

498
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:27.320
franchise to bad franchise I know,
and he will be because he hasn't gone

499
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.440
to a well coached team yet.
I think that's his biggest problem. Everybody

500
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:34.760
says, oh, look, Ron
Rivera picked him up. He didn't have

501
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:39.000
a good quarterback coach. Then he
needed to go to a place with a

502
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:45.000
good coaching staff to help team that
ego where he needed to go at that

503
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:51.400
time, he'd have been much better
as a backup for the Patriots. Well

504
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:55.519
Belichick was there. My bracket is
gone because he had Arizona winning it all.

505
00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:00.119
It was a great run there,
Buddy Blake to go through the field

506
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.719
at thirty two and be one hundred
percent right till now, that's an amazing

507
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.840
feat for anybody, but the fact
that you had Arizona winning at all my

508
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.400
favorite to win it all still,
I'm going to say it again, it's

509
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:16.039
Yukon. Oh yeah, so,
Blake, I would ask who did you

510
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:22.280
have Arizona going and playing in the
final? So is your other you know,

511
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.840
other teams still in there. I
know your bracket's gone, but I'd

512
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:30.320
be interested to see because obviously he
doesn't have Yukon, because aren't they in

513
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:38.440
the same are they not? So, Blake, if you're still out there,

514
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:45.000
let us know who you had playing
Arizona in them? So what are

515
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.920
the topics anybody besides I? Obviously
we still have my town yet to go?

516
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.199
But is there anything else on your
top of your mind that you're interested

517
00:44:52.840 --> 00:45:06.599
want to talk about in the sports
realm of sports? I got bud unfortunately,

518
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:08.480
that's okay. Well, I'm gonna

person. You never know who it
would be. Yes, Scott wrote that

529
00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:02.719
book. He interviewed this past week
Jeff DeForest, who has been a broadcaster

530
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:07.679
down here in South Florida for years, and they talked about the different the

531
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:15.119
different teams down here, how media
has changed, how everything has changed.

532
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.480
It's I will admit it was a
long interview, but it was a good

533
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:23.639
interview. So go hit the play
button. Watch part of it, Go

534
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:30.000
get grab some popcorn, play the
rest of it. Thursday nights is normally

535
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:35.280
Pundit's pundit and it's always fire up
where you always will find Jeremy and myself.

536
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:39.159
Sometimes will graces us with his presence. Then there is a book that

537
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:45.159
Scott, my husband wrote. It
is called Lessons from the Microphone tuning into

538
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:50.440
the Enduring Wisdom of Visionary Leaders.
It is available on Amazon, Kindle,

539
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:55.840
or Barnes and Noble. Okay,
so that was station identification. Oh.

540
00:46:55.880 --> 00:47:00.599
George Korn wrote the forward in Scott's
book, and George has his own book,

541
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:06.280
Detroit Sports Broadcasters on the Air,
available on Amazon as well. So

542
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:16.960
Blake answered our question he had Gonzaga. Oh that to answer Grandizer's question about

543
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:23.840
Josh Rosen, he was actually on
their practice squad. He never made it

544
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:31.719
into the quarterback room. H I
didn't know. Does Tyson ruin his legacy

545
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:36.519
Tyson versus Paul? Does Tyson ruin
his legacy if he takes a fall for

546
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:42.440
money? I don't believe a second
those fights aren't rigged. It really depends

547
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.920
on how it goes down. If
it's a long lasting fight, which is

548
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:51.280
something Tyson has always struggled to struggled
with. His stamina is not good past

549
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:54.599
eight rounds. That's why he struggled
with the vander Holyfield, and he struggled

550
00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:59.599
with the other guy he actually went
that long with. It doesn't bode well

551
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:06.039
for ty if he's able to get
to Logan Paul or whichever one Jake Paul

552
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:12.599
early I expect a knock out by
the third round because Tyson will wreck him

553
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.320
and possibly retire him, make him
look like the crip keeper by the time

554
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:25.159
he's done. You're not wrong.
I'm hoping Tyson wins. I'm confident he

555
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:30.239
should. When is that? I
forget to think. Isn't is it this

556
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.880
weekend? Or is it next week? An laxt month? Isn't it just

557
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:39.800
sounds joy I don't know, not
sure. Okay, it's time for my

558
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:45.559
town. Let's do it. Let's
do it. Mister will tell us what's

559
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:50.400
happening in your town that you're excited
about, Oh that you want to say

560
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.480
a few things. So in my
town, we just received word that LaMelo

561
00:48:53.639 --> 00:49:00.679
Ball the Hornets are out of contention. They're a struggling team to win here

562
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.960
there. LaMelo Ball has been out
for the last twenty games with an injury,

563
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:07.480
and we're gonna send them out for
the rest of the year, which

564
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.559
is good because he's had injury history
the last few years. Speak of the

565
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:15.639
Hornets, they beat the Cavaliers,
who are a really good team. They

566
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:21.840
beat them last night and our rookie, Brandon Ingram scored thirty one points.

567
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:30.440
The other thing is if I'm not
wrong. There's three North Carolina schools still

568
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:35.559
in the men's March, Madness,
Duke Carolina, and NC State. So

569
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:42.280
that's what's happening in my area.
It's Clemson down that way. Clemson's in

570
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:47.760
South Carolina. Okay, very good
close. I knew it was Carolina's,

571
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:54.800
that's all I knew. It's the
same. That's like Dakotas. You don't

572
00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:58.719
know. You can't tell the difference
between North and South unless you see the

573
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:05.119
sign. Yeah, for real,
that's funny. Okay, mister Jeremy,

574
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:09.840
what is happening in your town?
I watched a show from a podcaster posted

575
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:14.679
about the Lions today. I'm not
gonna name the channel. I'm not gonna

576
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:21.599
name the the podcaster, but he
had the proper title, but the wrong

577
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:28.320
message. He says, the Lions
have returned. Nate su sudfelt sorry I

578
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:34.039
almost called him by his nickname,
and well, the guy has never been

579
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:38.400
better than a QB three on any
roster anywhere. He actually was so bold

580
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:43.320
to say that this is a move
directly to put Hendon Hooker back as the

581
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:51.320
QB three of this team. And
I was like, what a guy who's

582
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:55.039
only thrown sixty nine passes in the
NFL as a starter and has a forty

583
00:50:55.079 --> 00:51:01.800
eight percent completion percentage and more touchdowns
or more interceptions and touchdowns. Is going

584
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:06.960
to be the QB two on this
roster. And this is the same guy

585
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:09.920
when he was on the roster two
years ago, they said the only thing

586
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:15.320
Nate Sudfeldt was good for was holding
the surface tablet at the proper angle to

587
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:22.039
not glare into Goff's eyes as he's
on the sideline. And I think that's

588
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.280
his job as QB three this time, he will either be on the practice

589
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:30.719
squad or cut, is my opinion, because the guy, God love him.

590
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:36.199
He's a professional athlete, but he's
not good. He's a true tablet

591
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:43.719
holder. He'll hold both tablets.
That's funny. That's funny, Orlando says,

592
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:49.360
sounds like a Greeny take. No, it's not a not a professional

593
00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:54.039
guy. He thinks he's a professional
guy. And Keegan, I respectfully disagree.

594
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:59.639
You can pull for them whoever you
want, but I respectfully will root

595
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:05.760
from our sorry, and they play
each other. So but my town,

596
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:15.079
my turn. So I have some
comments here. So while addressing reporters at

597
00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:23.519
the NFL Annual meeting on Tuesday,
Packers President CEO Mark Murphy expressed disappointment in

598
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:30.639
the City of Green Bay's decision to
walk away from negotiations on a new lease

599
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:37.239
agreement for lambeau Field. Granted,
there are nine years left on their current

600
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:43.760
lease, but the two sides have
been negotiating on an extension for the past

601
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:49.360
year. That was up until a
couple of weeks ago when Green Bay Mayor

602
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:55.480
Eric Genrich called Murphy to inform him
that they would be ceasing negotiations for the

603
00:52:55.559 --> 00:53:02.400
time being. Really honestly, not
only disappointed, but also very surprised.

604
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:07.440
Where a community owned team, we're
going to give back. We want to

605
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:13.119
work things out, and we've shown
we're not asking for any public money.

606
00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.400
We've invested a lot of money into
the stadium and into the community. With

607
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:21.920
Title Town, We've told the city
will continue to invest in the future.

608
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:29.039
The organization has already spent more than
one billion dollars in capital improvements, operations

609
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:35.599
and maintenance, Title Town development and
Charitle support since the redevelopment in back in

610
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:39.559
two thousand and three, and they've
committed to investing one point five billion into

611
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:45.920
the stadium in the coming decades.
That's in addition to providing a four hundred

612
00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:53.920
million dollars annual economic impact to the
community. The Packers also maintain a corporate

613
00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:58.920
reserve fund of more than five hundred
million, though the money is set aside

614
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:06.639
for the financial long term stability of
the NFL's smallest franchise. Reiterating the Packers

615
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:12.159
will always stay in green Bay,
Murphy said he's still optimistic that the organization

616
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:16.360
and city of Green Bay will get
something worked out, but for the time

617
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:23.760
being, the Packers have now halted
off season plans for an eighty million dollar

618
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:32.079
construction project due to this uncertainty.
By given the status of the negotiations,

619
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:37.679
we're going to halt those investments.
That's going to affect our fans and it's

620
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:44.239
also going to affect us for the
draft in twenty twenty five. So hopefully

621
00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:50.960
they can come together and negotiate an
extension. So my question would be to

622
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:58.360
this mayor of green Bay, why
why halt I don't honestly understand why you

623
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:07.159
would halt negotiations. This team brings
you in so much revenue. I don't

624
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:15.920
understand it. Orlando Packers moving to
Milwaukee, now, yeah, go ahead,

625
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:20.400
Well, I don't understand either it's
owned by the people. The people

626
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:24.360
love their team. They show out
in full force in the Lambeau and Lambeau

627
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:30.079
is historic like crazy. I hate
when they destroy old stadiums. It is

628
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:34.960
one of my biggest nerves. Yes, structures fall and they get old,

629
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:42.320
but it's called rebuilding, like for
example, Yankee Stadium, old Bush Stadium.

630
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:45.480
There's so many stadiums that shouldn't have
been torn down that have been torn

631
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:51.119
down. Whenever I think of football, even though I'm a Panther fan,

632
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:57.280
I think a Lambeau Field because God, I bet then Lombardi, God rest

633
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:01.079
his soul and his grave is just
screaming saying, get this negotiation done,

634
00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:09.239
because this is Screen Bay. Packers
are football and their football field is historic,

635
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:15.599
and they bring so much revenue to
the town even and it's not just

636
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:20.039
during the season. Their Hall of
Fame is right there. They're a Packer

637
00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:27.920
pro shop title town. Yeah,
we won't say that response, but I

638
00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:30.559
like Kegan's response here as a Lions
fan, that's hard to hear for the

639
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:34.519
Packers, even though we are rivals. It's still hard to hear about a

640
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:38.719
mayor pulling the plug on an NFL
team and he hasn't sold they he just

641
00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:45.440
stopped the negotiations. I mean,
yes, Jeremy, go ahead. Nine

642
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:47.960
times out of ten, when a
mayor pulls the plug on the negotiations with

643
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.079
an NFL stadium, regardless of how
much money or whatever it is, it's

644
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:57.559
because they're not giving the city enough
personal licenses for him to feel comfortable.

645
00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:04.119
Because they do a lot of business. They do a lot of transactions with

646
00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:09.360
other businesses that come into town.
Nostalgia isn't enough leverage he's gambling with.

647
00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:15.320
He goes, hey, I want
twenty percent of the seats for personal seat

648
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:21.400
licenses, whether it's sideline at zone, skybox, whatever. He wants that

649
00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:25.599
twenty percent, and that's so he
can give him out to say, oh,

650
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:30.920
Amazon's thinking about building a hub here, so I want to be able

651
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:35.000
to have all the execs of this
future hub right here in the skybox with

652
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:39.719
me. It's that type of stuff, that's the background stuff that nobody understands

653
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:45.440
in football that happens all the time. So this is a negotiations tactic,

654
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:52.320
and it may backfire because if Milwaukee
says, hey, I've got eighty million

655
00:57:52.360 --> 00:58:06.039
to build your stadium right now.
Sorry, Yeah, the Milwaukee Packers.

656
00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:10.880
They'll change the mascot. They got
to because look at the intimidation factor.

657
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:15.159
Just in the NFC North. You've
got Vikings, marauders that raided lands.

658
00:58:15.679 --> 00:58:21.679
You've got lions, King of the
Jungle, you got bears King of North

659
00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:27.239
America, really Grizzlies, Kodiaks,
polar bears, They're all over North America.

660
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:34.599
And then you've got a guy with
the box cutter. I'm sorry,

661
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:43.719
hilarious. No, I would change
the name and make it an alliteration.

662
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:50.840
M I'm just saying, you got
you got go to Milwaukee. They could

663
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:54.880
do something with Wisconsin. They could
do Milwaukee Mallers or something like that.

664
00:58:55.000 --> 00:59:00.039
Something that sounds intimidating. They they
would totally rebrand it. Right. What's

665
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:09.679
the state animal? I think Wisconsin
and Michigan share a state animal. As

666
00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:15.199
a matter of fact, I think
it is what the it's the badger.

667
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:20.599
It's the badger. Mm hmm yeah, Matt, but the Badgers of the

668
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:27.199
Wisconsin Badgers. So it's it's interesting. It'll I don't know, cheese heads

669
00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:32.199
as good. I don't know it. It'll be interesting to see what happens

670
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:39.760
whilst not the same routes like the
Yeah, the Phoenix Currents to the change.

671
00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:44.840
Yeah, I think it would stay
the Packers actually, but it would

672
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:49.280
be a good chance if they move. If they wanted a different name for

673
00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.599
the franchise, that would be the
time to do it. That's all I'm

674
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.239
getting at. That's true. And
I don't know that they would move to

675
00:59:55.280 --> 00:59:59.719
Milwaukee. I mean, it's not
like Milwaukee could support them. Don't get

676
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:01.719
me wrong. They support the Bucks. They sport, you know, they

677
01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:07.880
drive. Let's face it, Green
Bay actually used to have a game in

678
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:12.519
Milwaukee, a couple of games you
usually have. I think it was four

679
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:16.199
games. I think one preseason and
two or three. And now it's called

680
01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:22.519
the Gold package. So there is
actually two sets of season ticket holders for

681
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:27.559
the Packers right now, and one
is called the Milwaukeeer Gold Package and that

682
01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:30.800
they get one game during the preseason
and I think it's either two or three

683
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:37.039
home games, and then the other
season is the other ticket package is a

684
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.400
full package, and there are people
that are on both waiting lists. And

685
01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:47.519
we've been told that the Gold list
is a lot shorter than the full season

686
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:52.920
package is, and they have said
people were on the list for seventeen years

687
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:55.920
and now all of a sudden,
some of the Gold Package people. If

688
01:00:55.960 --> 01:01:02.400
they want, they can take the
Gold Package. But it'll be interesting because,

689
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:07.239
let's face it, lambeau Field is
iconic and it's the vincent. We

690
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:14.599
all play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. So to move it just I don't.

691
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:17.519
I don't think it'll come down to
that. I think, honestly,

692
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:22.199
I think they'll throw the mayor out
or kick him out before they gets to

693
01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:24.960
that point. I mean, there
is nine years left on this lease,

694
01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:30.480
but right, and that it wouldn't
happen for nine years because of the lease,

695
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:37.320
because breaking that lease would almost break
the shareholders union if you think about

696
01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:43.760
it, because that fee would probably
be about forty percent of the shareholders,

697
01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:49.840
which means all your big shareholders would
lose such a big steak exactly exactly.

698
01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:53.480
Well, guys, any other anything
else, anybody else want us to talk

699
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:59.039
about, anybody that's in the chat
room, any other comments or any other

700
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:02.280
topics. You know, it's funny
with less people, we've actually gone longer

701
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:07.119
than we have because of all the
comments and the great questions, and we've

702
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:13.239
actually all had really good answers and
responses to everything. But as far as

703
01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:19.039
the so I want your guys' opinion
on my hometown take that I did tonight

704
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:22.480
because we didn't get it. Do
you agree with me, Candy? Oh

705
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:30.400
yeah, yeah, Well about the
whole Nate Nate Suckfeld thing, yeah,

706
01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:36.199
oh obviously I agree Nate Suckfeld.
We know, we've we know who is

707
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:38.880
He's a footboard holder. Yes,
he's a professional athlete, that's what he

708
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:45.480
is. First off. But guy, come on, there's a reason Brad

709
01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:51.239
Holme Holmes drafted Headed Hooker and you've
said one hundred times and I couldn't agree

710
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:55.079
more this guy Hooker. They're not
They're gonna like golf play out and he's

711
01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:59.679
probably gonna be gone next year.
This guy Hooker is lined up to be

712
01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:08.079
the quarterback of the Detroit Lions point
and center. I didn't realize how much

713
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:14.719
Wisconsin copied Michigan because they did join
the Union after Michigan. The state animal,

714
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:19.800
American badger, the state bird,
American robin. Guess what it is

715
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:24.559
in Michigan, the badger and the
American robin. So they want to beat

716
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:30.320
the Detroit Lions. Oh? Keegan
Eckerd asked one more thing, how about

717
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:36.480
draft smoke screens and draft news.
Well, the biggest news to me,

718
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:39.639
and I don't think it's a smoke
screen because he could actually fall because of

719
01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:44.599
it, even though he is the
best wide receiver, full tool set in

720
01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:49.039
his bag. Marvin Harrison Jr.
Did not do any of the drills at

721
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:53.159
the Combine, nor did he do
any of the drills at his pro day.

722
01:03:53.880 --> 01:04:00.320
That's really really weird that design that
he might be hiding a small,

723
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:04.280
a lingering soft tissue injury that could
go longer than a lot of people expect,

724
01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:09.440
and he may not be the top
wide receiver. Taken off the board.

725
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:15.400
You could see somebody like Malik Neighbors, Brian Thomas Jr. Or Romeo

726
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:21.800
o'doons go first. Yeah, that
is interesting. That does bring up very

727
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:29.760
suspicions. And Nabers looked like a
stud at his stud two at his pro

728
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:32.320
day. All those guys look like
studs at their pro day. Okay,

729
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:38.159
last question. Any draft prospect that
the Lions have interviewed this week. They

730
01:04:38.199 --> 01:04:43.400
did bring Quantest Stiggers back in.
They also had an interview with kool Aid,

731
01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:46.719
and they had an interview with Verse, and they got one lined up

732
01:04:46.719 --> 01:04:50.960
with Job Robinson. And I just
think it's doing due diligence to see who's

733
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:55.719
worth it at the top or the
back end of the draft in that first

734
01:04:55.800 --> 01:05:00.760
round. Because let's face it right
now, if they take the players where

735
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:04.119
they're at, it only cost them
eight point six million to sign all seven

736
01:05:04.199 --> 01:05:10.119
of them, So it goes less
if they trade back and get more second

737
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:15.159
and fourth and fifth round picks.
And I still think that is probably the

738
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:17.599
smarter move. It only reduces it
by a million. But if you can

739
01:05:17.639 --> 01:05:25.920
get eight rookies for seven million versus
seven for eight simple maths, sounds good

740
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:29.360
to me. And we all know
first round talent. Some of the second

741
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:31.639
round talent moves up to the back
end of the first round due to needs

742
01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:35.599
and what people like for culture fit, and some of them slide back to

743
01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:39.840
the first round for the same reason
their second round for the same reason.

744
01:05:40.199 --> 01:05:43.920
Out of the first round. Right
now, I heard, out of the

745
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:48.360
thirty two picks, there are twenty
seven kids with the first round draft label

746
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:54.559
on them. Wow, that's the
most we've had in a long time.

747
01:05:54.639 --> 01:06:00.679
Guys, got be Yeah, yeah, so we have a lot of people

748
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:04.960
here still in the chat room.
Wow, that's the one I we just

749
01:06:04.960 --> 01:06:09.960
did. Yeah, the show that
he might fall off and Jim Harbor gets

750
01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:15.119
his receivers. In state colleges don't
count as interviews, right, that's right.

751
01:06:15.360 --> 01:06:19.559
In state colleges do not count as
towards the thirty interviews. And you

752
01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:23.440
also don't even have to go to
their pro day. You can bring them

753
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.480
in individually, one at a time
and work them out with their team if

754
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:30.320
you want. And then in case
I miss your up, thanks for the

755
01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:33.800
stream taking questions and your insights.

us both. I love making everybody grow.

806
01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:51.520
This podcasting community is the read how
I got here. I came on

807
01:10:51.600 --> 01:11:00.319
Scott's Inside the Pigskin and they happened
to mention Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn and

808
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:02.520
I put Matt Patricia and Boob Quinn
in the comments and the next thing you

809
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:11.239
know, I'm writing for him.
Yep, pretty much. And that's literally

810
01:11:11.279 --> 01:11:15.680
how I got the job. Was
my comments, and I had actually good

811
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.159
comments. They were talking about how
bad it was. I said, well,

812
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:23.079
that's because they couldn't develop a lawyer
but a player anymore than they could

813
01:11:23.159 --> 01:11:30.199
Polaroid film. So that's how this
whole thing got started. And I'm scare

814
01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:33.520
sure I have I haven't got the
text yet, so I don't think we've

815
01:11:33.560 --> 01:11:43.359
heard anything from the NFL if they
expected accepted our press application. He was

816
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:50.119
so excited. But you can find
my writings on the South Florida Tribune dot

817
01:11:50.159 --> 01:11:55.039
com under the MotorCity Tribune heading,
and that is my full name. I

818
01:11:55.119 --> 01:11:58.680
do. I use it completely because
that's what I should as a journalist.

819
01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:01.760
You should not have to use a
pen name if you're writing a column.

820
01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:06.560
If you have to use a pen
name, you're being too offensive. Yep,

821
01:12:09.399 --> 01:12:15.920
Carlos Monorez. But anyways, Will
Vogal No, Will Vogel is the

822
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:21.399
real name. It's BCP. That's
not. Yeah, maybe we'll tell Candy

823
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:28.960
what that is when we go off
there, because that's funny, is that

01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:15.079
course of his career over forty years, and Jeremy don't open to the page,

857
01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:18.760
but there is a page that has
a picture of a young Scott Morgenroth
