I'm Steve Riverta. He's Jagen's Aux with

4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.920
some breaking news. This is Eye
on the Ball, breaking news on Fox

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.199
Sports fourteen fifty. All right,
Steve, let's start with some of the

6
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:33.600
biggest news in the history of sports, involving show Heyo ton oh so Gezha.

7
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:39.240
Dodgers might take off fifteen minutes,
seven hundred million dollars over ten years,

8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.320
almost double the richest contract ever in
Major League Baseball and believed to be

9
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.399
the richest contract in the history of
the sports. It costs of do you

10
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.439
a Dodger dog of seventy five dollars
seed a Dodger dog. You know what

11
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.600
if if they win a World Series
because of it, I'll pay the seventy

12
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.520
five bucks for a Dodger dog.
It was funny because you know, there

13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.719
was all this taught that he was
on his way to Toronto, and it

14
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.120
all turned out to be erroneous.
Somebody screwed it up. He was going

15
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.760
to be a Dodger the whole time. Dave Roberts in an interview earlier in

16
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.879
the week, pretty much, I
was gonna thrown the hint out and stuff.

17
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.159
Here. Here's a funny story.
So we're standing for the national anthem

18
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.200
at the Arizona game, right and
you know we're where we're down on the

19
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.319
floor. And so when I you
know, when we when the nation anthem

20
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.120
comes on, you know, I
faced the flag, you're facing that end

21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:32.480
of the arena, and my son
Adam, who's ten times bigger Dodger fan

22
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.879
than I am. He's to my
left at the table, so he's behind

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.879
me. When then, you know, when when we're doing the national anthem,

24
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.920
so we stand, I'm looking at
the flag. You know, they

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.400
announced who the singer of the national
anthem is, and then I hear my

26
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.519
son behind me go holy blank.
And I turned around like I thought something

27
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.879
happened in the stands or somebody fell
or whatever. He goes the Dodgers just

28
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.480
shine jow. Hey, you already
knew that. No, I didn't,

29
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.959
because we had been texting you on
that thread, uh me and oh I

30
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.439
hadn't seen it, Okay, I
hadn't seen it. Okay, Yeah,

31
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.599
you're busy before a games. Apparently
your son isn't well. He he took

32
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.960
one, he took a look at
his phone for some reason, you know,

33
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.319
and he said, holy expletive,
the Dodgers just signed show hey,

34
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.000
And I'm like, you've got national
anthem going on right here right now.

35
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.960
But he couldn't believe it. And
we were, you know, a little

36
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.280
high fiving and stuff like that.
Even Brett Hanson, you know Brett,

37
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.319
he was, he was sitting in
the seats across the way from us.

38
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.639
Even even he texted me about it. It was a crazy thing, I

39
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.560
mean, unbelievable. Yeah, I
saw him here. I didn't realize for

40
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.800
the game that billis was there,
and so was past Yeah, so you

41
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.360
know, I didn't even see that. We went out to dinner over on

42
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.919
University Bovard Friday or Friday night,
Friday night over a main gate, and

43
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:57.840
my daughter swear she saw Billis there. Probably I swear billis, Well,

44
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.840
he's doing the game. Well,
he was the third or fourth or fifth

45
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.159
the most recognizable guy there. Right, we'll be the couple being Francona and

46
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.000
Kerr. All right, So you
know, it was one of those games

47
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.639
where they brought those guys that brought
the house man. Yeah, they brought

48
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.400
the house and it worked. It
worked, all right, Okay, a

49
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.719
lot of well, let me get
into a couple of other things. First

50
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:25.319
of all, Team ac Tatoroy McMillan, Arizona receiver sophomore named a third team

51
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.120
AP All American, which you know
you do that that always sets you up

52
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.319
for next year. You know you
can expect him to be you know,

53
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.599
probably maybe even a first team All
American next year. Uh. The the

54
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:43.319
AP All American team came out today. Not surprisingly, the Heisman Trophy winner

55
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.319
Jayden Daniels was the first team.
Quarterback Michael Pennis was second team. Bow

56
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.319
Knicks was third team. Uh.
Mcmallan was the only Arizona guy who was

57
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.960
on the first, second, or
third teams. But you know, it's

58
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.319
not a lot of surprises. All
the guys that that you've been talking about

59
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.639
at receiver, the guys that came
in ahead of McMillan, Troy Franklin from

60
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:12.400
Oregon, really good player, Alike
Washington from Virginia never heard of him,

61
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.639
uh. Uh, and Luther Burden
at Missouri. Uh. And then I

62
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.120
think those are the second team.
I'm sorry because I thought, yeah,

63
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.319
my mylik neighbors, l s U, Marvin Harrison Junior, Ohio State,

64
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.759
Romo Doozy Washington. And I was
listening to those guys that I tell you

65
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:38.120
listened to all the time, Ross
Dellinger, Uh Pat forty, uh Wessel.

66
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.639
Wessel is not a Heisman voter forty
and Dellinger forty had the three in

67
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.720
order. He had, he had
Daniels, he had Panix, he had

68
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.480
he had a Bone Nicks, Russ
Dellinger, he had, he had,

69
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:58.199
he had Daniels, he had Bone
Nicks. Then he had the Washington receiver.

70
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.680
He didn't even have Michael Pennix in
his top three. How do you

71
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.480
tell how did he justify that?
Did? He just said he just saw

72
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.759
Washington and he just put no no. He said he specifically when he thought

73
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.439
row he thought Michael Penix was really
good because of Romo Denzy, and I

74
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.560
just don't agree with that. I
had my ballot on Twitter on on Sunday

75
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.839
morning. I had, I had
Panics, I had Nicks. And then

76
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.160
when Marvin Harrison Junior, I just
felt, and I still feel that that

77
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.160
Jane Daniels was just a stat accumulator. He piled up a bunch of big

78
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.480
stats on games that ultimately didn't matter. They lost that first game to to

79
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.439
Florida State. They were never in
it. Thought he accumulated stats the course

80
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.879
of the year. I get it, his numbers were huge and and you

81
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.040
know, Michelle Gardner made a comment
that it's not a team award, that

82
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.519
she thought Jaye Daniels servant. Well, well, my point was it was

83
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.399
a team award back when a couple
of Stanford guys should have won it,

84
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.879
and they gave it to the best
player on the best team, both of

85
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.160
them from Alabama. So back then
it was a team award. And all

86
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.839
of a sudden, you know,
the great teams that should have had guys

87
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.079
that should have won it are on
the West coast. Well, we're gonna

88
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.519
give it to the individual guy who
had great individual don't dis abdun't. In

89
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.399
fact, the boat Nicks is a
victory or two away from winning it.

90
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.800
I think because he lost two games
Washington, I said I would still take

91
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.319
him over Pennix, and I couldn't
tell you why, but I really liked

92
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.560
the way he plays. Well.
My vote came down to the winner of

93
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.959
that Oregon Washington game that was it
I decided, you know, I hadn't

94
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.319
decided on my third place. Guy. Oh, I'm sorry. We have

95
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.839
we have a guest. Oh gee, we forgot about him, right,

96
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.120
Oh, we did forget him.
Must have guilt, right, right,

97
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.000
so he's I just got a text. Okay, so we'll we'll hold on

98
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.120
to this. We'll hold on to
this. Let me see, go ahead

99
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:55.720
and give me one more right now. Yeah, yeah, we were supposed

100
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.480
to have I know, I forgot. Yeah, I was looking the thing

101
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:01.959
thinking, why am I looking at
the thing? Well, that was it.

102
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.399
I'm gonna have them. Yeah,
we can go a little longer and

103
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.519
then we'll we'll we'll wrap this up
on the other side. But anyways,

104
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.920
that that was my point. And
then that's you know, so I'm not

105
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.720
surprised Daniels won because you know,
and then the other argument made this had

106
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.920
been flipped Jaydon Daniels on the west
coast and Panics and and Nicks are on

107
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.120
the you know, in the east, one of them would have won.

108
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.120
Totally agree that had given it to
the quarterback of the best team. Sure,

109
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.240
just just and that's how that's how
I looked at it, Because if

110
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.000
he's that valuable or that good.
Should have his team playing better, right,

111
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.319
nine and three finished third in their
division in the CC. Sorry,

112
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.000
you gotta do better than that.
All right, Well let's hopefully Gil.

113
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:51.279
Look that was stupid. Okay,
well we'll see what We'll see Gil already.

114
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.560
Uh, I'm just selected to the

124
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.720
Son of a gun? Thanks for
calling us. I know where you

125
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.039
at. You're like at disney World
or no work. No, I'm in

126
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.720
back, I'm not in bikeyard.
Yeah, I'm in dian Well thank you

127
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.279
for calling. We we had we
usually have our guests in and then we've

128
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.000
been talking and said, oh God, we got Gilled Jo Gil. Great

129
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.200
to have you. I'm hoping you
can stay on for a little bit.

130
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.960
Congratulations on your announcement of Pima.
How how big is that for you?

131
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.600
Oh? It was a great advent. Honestly, I think it was one

132
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.840
of the most recognized events that I've
been to where I actually felt the energy

133
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.879
and I felt the I guess that's
what happened. When you get older,

134
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:16.559
you feel the warmth of what people
have touch that helped you and become mentors.

135
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.840
And that's what exactly I'm doing now. I'm not a teacher, I'm

136
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.480
an instructor. I'm a pitching coach, and I know how important it is

137
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.200
to be able to communicate and give
people opportunities. You know, Gil,

138
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.879
you're on one of the rare guys, particularly in that period of time,

139
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.720
that came out of Pima and got
an opportunity to play play at Arizona.

140
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.399
How do you think that you know
that time that you had at PEMA set

141
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.519
you up for a couple of years
that you had at Arizona, which included

142
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.919
the College World Series Championship. Well, I think it was, like I

143
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:54.480
spoke on it yesterday in my speech, where I got the opportunity from Coach

144
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.879
all Day coming from the Gallas,
the in program that we had down there

145
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:09.919
when we were always contenders in the
state tournament, but coming into the junior

146
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:15.080
college realm of things, I kind
of it was an easy move. Not

147
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.039
easy, it was a more comfortable
movem instead of a major university, I

148
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.720
guess for a young eighteen year old
kids. But no, they gave me

149
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:28.240
the opportunity. The teammates that I
had there as the higher classmen, sophomores,

150
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.720
Bobby Field, Jeff Heard. There's
a lot of pitches that I learned

151
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.639
from, but I also learned some
of the stuff not to do, and

152
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.320
it was just a learning experience.
So at what point, kind of to

153
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.519
go with Jay's question, at what
point did you kind of feel you have

154
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.600
potential to be a major leaguer.
I know you're probably still young thinking not

155
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.440
even thinking that, or maybe you
do, but at what point did you

156
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.639
feel that? To be honest,
I didn't think. I mean I never

157
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.080
thought about being a major leaguer until
I was probably in the minor league playing

158
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.120
Triple A, thinking that I had
the opportunity. But when you really get

159
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.960
to call, when you really had
that opportunity to get to the top,

160
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.559
then you're going, Wow, that's
what it took to be able to get

161
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.080
to the highest level but not want
to be able to stay there. Yeah,

162
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.120
But I didn't think anything like that
when I was a little leaguer.

163
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.559
I didn't think anything when I was
in Bebrue. I didn't think anything when

164
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.360
I was in high school. Once
I got drafted the first year, my

165
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.200
freshman year at Penas, that's when
I started thinking, when I have an

166
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.759
opportunity. I know, the guys
get to the big leagues right away,

167
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.879
but it was not the case for
me. I knew that there was going

168
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.879
to be a lot of hard work
and you know, determination to be able

169
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.600
to get to the highest level,
but to be able to continue to do

170
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.159
that hard work, because we you
know, we hear the stories. Being

171
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.320
in the minor leagues is not easy. I know, there's probably a lot

172
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.200
of people that got there or you're
a professional baseball player, and how hard

173
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.600
can it be? But it has
to be a lot of work and a

174
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.000
lot of ups and downs. You
know what what made you keep working?

175
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.080
Did you always you said you didn't
know if you're gonna get to the majors?

176
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.639
But was that the carrot that was
out there in front of you?

177
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.679
Were you Were you thinking about that
as you did the lifting and the workouts

178
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.720
and all that kind of stuff.
Oh? Absolutely, I mean when I

179
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:20.960
worked, when I ran, it's
a grind, not only on the field

180
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.840
or off the field. But you
have to have the full support as far

181
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.200
as all around, as far as
a team. You know, my my

182
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.840
wife, my family, everybody has
to be in to be able to have

183
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.240
a support group that always has you
know, your back. But it always

184
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.519
comes down to the individual as far
as Yeah, you can work as hard

185
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.759
as you want, but you got
to have that drive and determination and you

186
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.120
got to have luck too. I
mean, you definitely have to have a

187
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.320
little bit of luck. Yeah,
time a time and going with the right

188
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.039
team and all that. For two
dudes who played the little a little ball

189
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.919
and then dreamed the dream, how
was it being a major league player?

190
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:11.120
Just like what you guys are saying, the greatest feeling. It just brings

191
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.200
back a lot of your your fruits
of labor that that you've done and you

192
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.639
continue doing what it is, and
to be able to stay there is really

193
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.440
the hardest thing to do, you
know. And and that's what I accomplished

194
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.519
by still going down in the minor
league's learning and making adjustments going back to

195
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.799
the league, big league, going
back to the minor league. It was

196
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.480
just like that roller coaster that I'm
at here in Disneyland, right, yeah,

197
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.840
sure, sure we're talking. We're
talking to Gil already. PEMA College

198
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.799
Sports Hall of Famer National Championship at
Arizona ten year Major League. What was

199
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.320
the first stadium for your first major
league game? And what was that like,

200
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.559
you know, walking out of the
dug out onto the field for the

201
00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:01.240
first time. Where were you?
I was in San Francisco playing in Candlestick

202
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:07.080
Park. It was an afternoon day
game on Sunday, I believe, and

203
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:13.320
we were playing the Saint Louis Cardinal. I came in relief because we were

204
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.039
getting beat pretty well, and it
was a great opportunity for a rookie to

205
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.399
come in and pitch. And I
think, I I believe that I've only

206
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.440
got one out, or maybe I
finished one any but I ended up giving

207
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.320
I believe I gave up five runs. It was and I gave up a

208
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.919
home run. But it was just
a field that I was pitching in a

209
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.120
big league ballpark and all my senses
were just going to one hundred percent,

210
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.919
and it was I remember, it
was a great feeling. Yeah, it

211
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.320
was that I wish I would have
done better. Yeah, but I got

212
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.559
there and everybody just came back and
said, you know what, that's your

213
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.039
first one and you're gonna be better
than that. Sure, and you had

214
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.240
a pretty good career. I think
you finished above five hundred right after all

215
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.600
those years. I did finish above
five hundred. I did pretty good into

216
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.200
realm with things as far as staying
healthy. I think I can always take

217
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.879
a lot of pride in saying that
I'd never spent one day in the in

218
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:16.879
the injured list. So that's that's
a big accomplished accomplishment for me. Uh.

219
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.960
And not only that. I did
do some offensive work too. I

220
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.840
did get some base hits. And
you showed my own that I can handle

221
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.360
the bath sure are you? Uh? I guess if you went back to

222
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.919
No Gallas, you'd be the mayor. You could run for the mayor.

223
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.360
No, that's my that's one of
my good friends from that I had from

224
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.279
high school. Our quarterback from high
school is now the mayor in a gallaxy.

225
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.960
He tells me that there's a lot
of there's a lot of what's the

226
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.879
great word to that? I guess
it's politics, you know what. Everybody

227
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.519
you can kind of craft if you
want to deal with, we won't we

228
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.960
won't kill you. Yeah. God
no, So I do not want to

229
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.840
be the mayor. No, the
honorary Mary. Maybe for one day I

230
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.600
would take but that's it. I
no, no what and uh you found

231
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.759
you're out. You must be enjoying
life now, not having you teaching kids.

232
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.679
I'm sure you get a lot of
questions about how how do we become

233
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.679
guil Well, that's really the important
questions that everybody asks. And I work

234
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:22.080
with a lot of Latin players,
which is one of my forteses because I'm

235
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.320
bilingual, so I can teach and
talk to with Dominicans, Venezuelan, Panamania.

236
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:34.120
All the Latin players which come from
Latin America have a great opportunity to

237
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.919
be able to do what they want
to do as far as their dream.

238
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:44.720
But the biggest key for them now
is players are being They're different now.

239
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.399
These guys have big arms, they
have big velocities, and what I try

240
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.559
to teach them is the importance that
to be able to control the zone,

241
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.360
to be able to control fastball.
And that's one thing that it's hard to

242
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.159
teach because that takes practice and hard
work in both and all that, if

243
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.519
that makes any sense, makes a
lot of sense. Can you wrap your

244
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:10.440
mind around at all? Around shotany
in a seven hundred million dollar contract.

245
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.880
I knew that questions we're gonna I
knew that question was gonna pop up.

246
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:17.440
And I work for the Angel You
do? Oh? You do? I

247
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.079
know that? Okay? Yeah,
obviously I saw him warm up a couple

248
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.839
of times in spring training, and
I talked to his assistant or whatever he

249
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:37.200
called his guru getting his velocities with
these little portable velocity readers. He is

250
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.799
definitely a unicorn. I just didn't
know that he was really that good of

251
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.400
what he does with both sides of
the the spectrum with baseball. It's unbelievable.

252
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.720
He's a unicorn. Yeah, could
you in your time and this may

253
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.839
be a dumb question, but could
there have been another show hey in the

254
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:02.200
last twenty five years if they really
wanted to. We see a guy at

255
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:07.000
Colorado going both ways. Now,
could we have done that before? And

256
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.039
you know what, there was a
lot of good pictures that can hit,

257
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.480
but they never obviously give him the
opportunity. I do remember some of the

258
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.559
pictures going in there and pinshitting so
they can bunt. But there was some

259
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.960
guys I don't know if you guys
recall a guy that used to pitch for

260
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:33.000
the Diamondback. His name was Micah
Only. Yeah, he was a very

261
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:34.640
very good He was a guy that
can hit home runs. I mean,

262
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:41.079
this guy can hit. But as
far as the the aspect of what shohe

263
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.160
does compared to what he does,
I mean, Johy can run. He's

264
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:51.920
also fat, he's left handers,
he can I mean he does it all.

265
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.279
Yeah, well that's kind of crazy. But you know again, none

266
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.559
of us have ever you said,
a unicorn, none of us have ever

267
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.039
seen this, and it's it.
It's been fun to watch. I happen

268
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.160
to be a Dodger fan, so
I'm kind of happy with how this thing

269
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.640
turned out. So how about the
Dodgers. Yeah, well, the whole

270
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.640
craziness of the of the last few
days, you know, oh, he's

271
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:18.599
going to Toronto and all this stuff. Just just the magnitude of what was

272
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:26.200
happening. Yeah, just watching the
Baseball the Major League Network and seeing what

273
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.680
has opened because there's still a lot
of free agents that are in the market.

274
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.839
And I don't know if you guys
understand, but I don't know the

275
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.960
logistics to the contract, but I
think a lot of some of the money

276
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:44.680
is deferred, so that still gives
the opportunity for the Dodgers to still sign

277
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.519
some premiere arms or hitters to make
them even that much better for the regular

278
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:56.480
season. But the bottom line to
any organization or any team getting to the

279
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.440
playoffs is obviously getting to the World
Series and winning the World Series, and

280
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.640
that's even harder to do. So
what do you do for the Angels?

281
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.799
I'm up to own a pitching coach. I'm an actual minor league pitching coach.

282
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.319
Oh okay, and I worked for
player development. I've been doing it

283
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.039
for four years with the Angels.
I did it for thirteen years for the

284
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:21.039
Diamondbacks. So it was fun to
see some of the players that pitched and

285
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.400
had success in the World Series.
So dumb question. So when you were

286
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.880
a kid growing up in Nogaas,
what did you want to do when you

287
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:33.319
grew up. To be honest,
I wanted to be a pilot, like

288
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:40.240
a like a pilot, like an
armed military pilot, navy aviator. I

289
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.079
love planes. When I was a
kid, I wanted to be a pilot.

290
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:48.519
And obviously that changed real quick.
Right after my senior year in high

291
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.359
school, I found out that there
is a lot of demand. Got to

292
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:53.359
study, you got to do this
and that, and I'm going, nah,

293
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.119
I'm gonna Hey, it's a lot
of math. Man. I've seen

294
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.480
Top Gun a couple of times.
It's a lot of math. Yeah.

295
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.039
And I was really good with math, and that's why I liked it and

296
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.240
I enjoyed. But I really enjoy
the thrill of the aviation and all the

297
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.000
military planes that I'm I'm still a
big, big advocate to that. Well,

298
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:17.640
baseball has been very very good to
you. As they said, No,

hear from you. Yeah, what's the

391
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:48.319

I more? Talk about that? How

394
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:04.119
let's talk about that? What do
you see? Uh mo? I mean,

395
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.680
what what how do you feel he's
progressed over the last couple of years.

396
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:15.680
I think like he he's got place
where I think it's gotta do with

397
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:21.160
the coach because for foreign players like
him, he'd been through to lie he

398
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.079
was in the Spain. Let home
go to the Spain. So he bounce

399
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:30.920
run and find someone like I can't
trust you. Like I think that the

400
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.759
environment and what the coach said for
him, a guy him do things like

401
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.559
you know some amazing stuff. Yeah, I think it's the coach, the

402
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:48.079
boundary between him and the head coach
like Tomments. I think that's that's all

403
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.960
I see what I watch because I
see myself, you know, like when

404
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.759
you have with the environment is in
right now. It's just he's got everything

405
00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:00.559
around him and the rest is just
he's got to perform. He worried about

406
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.839
anything like I was worried by Home. I was worried by then. So

407
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.920
he don't he does not have any
And I'm just saying, like, I'm

408
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.599
so excited every game when I watch, I just like, oh my god,

409
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.400
you don't know how much child,
I'm excited with the program and with

410
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:22.519
a bottle into it is amazing.
So now they play against the best player,

411
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.119
at least the biggest best player that
they'll face this year. How do

412
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:33.039
you defend? How do you defend
a guy like that? He talking about

413
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:41.079
different defend the battle he's going to
face. Yeah, man, I think

414
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:49.440
I think it's the will. Like
he he recognized where he at. I

415
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:55.480
think he knows what's going on.
He's wearing of everything right now. I

416
00:29:55.559 --> 00:30:00.000
think he is just preparing the way
that preparing him, the way he prepare

417
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.279
at himself. I think he's gonna
he will be fine. Then it's it's

418
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.680
uh, you know, I mean
one of the things that's been great about

419
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.000
what we're seeing in Arizona's You've got
Umar who's starting out there, and then

420
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.519
off the bench comes this you know, Mo Crevis, who's you know,

421
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.079
played pretty well to give them a
one to two combo in there. You

422
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.519
know, what can what can Ballow
do to help Creevous, who is a

423
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.400
true freshman, you know, get
his footing and and how can he help

424
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:33.640
him? I think mentoring, he's
kind of you knowep communicating with him,

425
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.880
make sure, uh, just cheering
for him because every moment that you know,

426
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.799
the backup big men come in,
He's gotta windn't think that's the bonus

427
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.640
for him, Like, you know, I him going back and do his

428
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.359
things. Just be one of his
biggest fans and to get bent on him.

429
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.400
I think that's all he needs to
do is because the rest I mean

430
00:30:55.480 --> 00:31:00.640
boats taking care of that. So
he just gotta be uh big bonotype the

431
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.559
stuff that the backup big man can
do and he cannot do. He's gotta

432
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:10.960
be able to the really you know, cheer for that chick game. You

433
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.160
know, he's he's not fast as
on the bigs, but he can do

434
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:21.079
stuff. So if that if the
cover of you with some some minutes and

435
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.039
they get in, get a good
minute when you come in, you gotta

436
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.039
finish it. And at the same
time, you gotta let those guys know

437
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:33.799
what they did. Uh, just
be cheer for them, like whatever time

438
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.400
thead right right, Well, how
how good you think this team is?

439
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:42.920
We've been talking about that. How
good are they? No? You know?

440
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.359
Then the crazy thing about this,
like when I watched the game I'm

441
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:53.039
watching as a fan, that's kind
of like that's what I'm really really kind

442
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.960
of like a scary I don't even
like trying to, you know, watch

443
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.119
the game as a coach or I'm
just like, like the biggest fan.

444
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:07.559
I think it's gonna be excited because
that know they've been through to say almost

445
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.799
same scenati. Last year we had
a really good run and you know,

446
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.960
we got hit in the mouth right
the first So I think they know what's

447
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:22.079
going on. I think we're gonna
be good. I mean, knock on

448
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.359
the hood, no injury. I
would say we're good, but we got

449
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:29.400
some injury. I don't wish that's
gonna be the thing, but that that

450
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:31.200
mature doesn't know what's going on.
You got a mature of the team,

451
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:36.519
and that's a scary. So let
me ask you a dumb stupid question because

452
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:40.519
well you know I asked dumb stupid
questions. Uh so you so you came

453
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:45.119
here with the dream of playing here, and you did it with lout and

454
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:50.640
then unfortunate situation with Kevin. But
I'm sure you wish that your your career

455
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.559
would have been like bollows, Yes, and then that that's I think that's

456
00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:01.039
what I become his biggest fan because
the stuff that I was in I was

457
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:07.039
set to achieve. I didn't.
So if I see him achieved, Dad,

458
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.880
like man, I'm like I'm satisfied. Yeah, like I don't have

459
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:17.519
any more graduate like one went wrong
winning with Arizona because Bao, when I

460
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.200
watch him play and when I watch
him perform, when he's he's do things

461
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.799
and the way he's celebrating, it's
just like I love it. I think

462
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.400
he uh, he's in the great
stitition. I wasn't a great stitition,

463
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:38.400
but I was not lucky to be
his level. But I think he he

464
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:44.000
make he make my day sometimes when
I watch him play. Honestly, it

465
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.359
sounds like you really love watching the
guy. Is Is he an NBA player?

466
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:52.680
Do you think I would say yes? I think if if you're getting

467
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.079
a situation when someone take a chance, because he's uh, he's a big

468
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.839
man who's more down but you know
in the NBA we don't have that anymore.

469
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.559
But his strength, like he's strongness
under the basket. I think somebody

470
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:13.960
can use that. Yeah, I
think if he gets in the great situation

471
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.920
where they're going to develop him,
like helping him, not not to say

472
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.760
okay, we're gonna get you the
frenchise tag, but let's let's see if

473
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:25.719
we can develop you, like,
you know, be more quicker. And

474
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.559
because he's got the high, he
got the defense, and you know,

475
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.880
and in the NBA, that's a
couple of bigs, but he can't really

476
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.760
play against. I mean, I
hope, I mean that's my dream.

477
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.679
I want to see him in the
NBA, but I think he needed some

478
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:44.679
work when he gets that though.
No, you just need to teach him

479
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:50.360
how to shoot pritos, right right. I know it is so big and

480
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:57.480
tight. I think that it's like
a second baby shot. Just got to

481
00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:59.639
hit those. Hey, thanks for
the call. We got to see each

482
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.519
other, no problem, no problem, thank you, all right, thank

483
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:07.360
you, all right, thanks much
for a nice surprise. Thank you surprise.

484
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.760
That was a great surprise. Yeah, thank Aaron Man. But you

485
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.719
know, again, you know,
if a guy a guy, a guy

486
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:19.840
who knows exactly what Umar Bellow is
joining and going through. And it's great

487
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.760
that he calls, right, I
know that he he left, he left

488
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:24.440
not a good terms. I mean, he played for Kevin and Kevin didn't

489
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:28.199
play him. Yeah, yeah,
and in that situation was just what it

490
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.760
was. Uh, but good to
see him kind of living through right right,

491
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.920
and that and that's very cool because
he's obviously he has you know,

492
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.000
has an influence on him and wants
him to wants him to do well,

493
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.559
and as he said, he cheers
for him big time. So that's very

494
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.000
cool. All right, let's go
take our last break here. We're gonna

495
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:46.239

take a look back at the Ludelson in

500
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:01.880
my new book, Lessons from Lut. It was a labor of love to

501
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:06.639
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

502
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.639
to the coach and the man who
led them, competed against them, and

503
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:14.159
inspired them twenty five chapters for his
twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

504
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.239

how he built the program into a national

559
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.880
your call. So I just got
to tech. There was a cool call

560
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.480
from low Yeah, very cool call
from Tangara out of the blue, out

561
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.800
of the believe, talking about rumor
Ballo. You know, I feel like

562
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.559
Umar has kind of been lost in
the shof a little bit, you know,

563
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:36.280
because of you know what's happening with
with Keisha Johnson and Caleb Love and

564
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:38.760
I've call him about all those guys, but he's still been solid. He

565
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.679
had a couple of big plays.
He had that throwdown dunk that I still

566
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.599
don't know how he was able to
dunk it from where he was on that

567
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:49.760
pick and roll from Caleb Love.
Yeah, he didn't really dunk it.

568
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.239
He just kind of threw it in
the basket from from the top. Brought

569
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.800
the house down. He had,
you know, he had a couple of

570
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:58.360
those, and it was just he
was umar. You know, he was

571
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:05.320
one point one, one rebound short
of a double double. And you know,

572
00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:08.360
as was a keishat Johnson. So
you know, just again solid all

573
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:12.039
the way around for Arizona and that's
why they're winning games. They're eight now,

574
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.960
all right, So let's do this
one more time. Let's get the

575
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:17.800
last of it in. I'll go
ahead and play. The thing is high

576
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:23.039
on the ball Breaking news on Fox
Sports fourteen fifty. Somebody listening to the

577
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.000
show is going, what the hell, it's not four o'clock. What's what's

578
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:30.360
going on? This is the breaking
of the breaking news for the broke news.

579
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:32.719
The breaking news is that breaking news
didn't happen when the breaking news is

580
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:37.719
supposed to. All right, So
we did mention Arizona State at number one

581
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.559
in the in the AP Pole.
The cool thing about the cool thing about

582
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:44.840
the poll this because that Perdue moved
up a spot. So they're number three.

583
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.360
Neither Arizona or Purdue plays until they
play each other on Saturday, so

584
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.480
it's gonna be a one versus three
on Saturday. And you know, the

585
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.800
biggest complaint of this is it's on
Peacock. That's the biggest complaint. This

586
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.119
is how the world works. The
world works. So I work for real

587
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.440
tour and blah blah blah, and
and it's the same time all the time.

588
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.519
You know it's coming. People don't
get it because the traffic and blah

589
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:09.679
blah blahlah. You know what's coming. We tell people all this stuff,

590
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:13.880
but they don't know until it's on
top of you. Right. So now

591
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.840
they've said it's gonna be on Peacock
for a while now for a while now,

592
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:20.840
people are still it's going to be
on Peacock. How did this happen?

593
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.679
It was gonna be on Peacock months
ago. This is didn't happen.

594
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:30.079
We've known, we know for a
while a lot of Big ten games are

595
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:35.679
on Peacock. Right now, they've
got a contract. Peacock is a is

596
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.000
a it's sort of a it's an
offshoot of NBC. That's where they're kind

597
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:43.920
of over overflow stuff. Nobody thought
there was gonna be a one versus three

598
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:46.159
game, you know when they when
they set that game, and and you

599
00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:52.920
know, and and again big the
basketball is different from football football. The

600
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.559
games get set on their networks a
week and a half, about two weeks

601
00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:59.880
ahead of time, sometimes only a
week ahead of time. It fluctuates.

602
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.119
That's the way that system is set
up. College basketball games, they set

603
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.440
those before the season, months before
the start, because they just got so

604
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:12.320
this game got set at a time
when certainly nobody thought Arizona was going to

605
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.719
be doing what it's doing. And
that and that you know, we stopped

606
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:16.840
producing. Gonna be goodcause of Zach
Eatie. But yeah, you know,

607
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.199
nobody out there about this is gonna
be a one versus three games. Otherwise

608
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:22.960
it wouldn't have been on Peacock.
But it is. Deal with it,

609
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:29.000
right, Steve, Well, you
have no choice. You can complain how

610
00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:35.840
he was no choice. Okay,
all this hoopla, not hoopla, just

611
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:39.760
this stuff about that that call in
the Chiefs game yesterday. Oh the over

612
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:45.239
duds off side, he was He's
off side, and Andy Reid came out

613
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:50.800
today and said that if you ever
watch the wide receivers, they go out

614
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:52.960
to their spot, they look at
the ref, they point at him,

615
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:57.039
they get a thumbs up or a
thumb's down, or he'll tell him to

616
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:00.480
back up or whatever. Andy Reid
admitted that Cadarry Tony did not do that

617
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.280
for that play. If you had
to look to the reft, the reft

618
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.119
would have said back up, and
that never would have happened. Right,

619
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:10.760
So anybody, including the Chiefs,
were saying it was anybody's fault, but

620
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.920
his blaming the ref because they never
call that. Dude, it was so

621
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:19.239
blatant, so obviously they had to
call it. I didn't see if they

622
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.960
don't call it, the bills are
pissed. Sure, sure, No,

623
00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:27.119
I didn't see it until I saw
the highlight of it. It was a

624
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.480
nice play. But yeah, I
know you're right if your flag came out

625
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.840
immediately, I mean the play started
and you saw the flag in the air,

626
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:37.599
right, and you knew it was
something on the chief The more concerning

627
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:42.039
part of the whole thing is what's
going on with the kind with the Chiefs

628
00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:45.159
big picture? Yeah, right,
because they're supposed to be better than they

629
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.719
are. They ate five hours.
Yeah, they're just not playing by Yeah,

630
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:54.079
they're not certainly not the world champion
Chiefs. And I'm pissed because I've

631
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:57.639
been picking them all year. I
think I've picked them five times this year.

632
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.039
They've only covered for me, so
they're not to you. They are

633
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:04.679
dead to me now, well five
times the Chiefs. I mean, you

634
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:07.480
can keep picking because you keep thinking
win. You know he's dead to me

635
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:12.920
too. But Baltimore, your Detroit. Oh they disappointed me three times.

636
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.719
Oh yeah, not only have they
not cooked well, no, I think

637
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.480
they've lost twice and then didn't cover
against the Bear. I was the accidental

638
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.599
picker last week with them because I
saw well because I didn't tell you my

639
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.840
myla Lock and you had no idea
how much. I didn't want to pick

640
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.800
the Lock because you had picked them. But then I had no choice because

641
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:36.119
Baltimore didn't do anything. I'm still
not sold on Dallas, so I couldn't

642
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.480
do that. So I went to
Detroit because they've been fairly good to me,

643
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:43.719
and then they just, oh god, they're not that good. Maybe

644
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.360
I was sold on something from earlier
in the year. Because they're not the

645
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:51.960
team anymore maybe or did you don't
don't. I don't want to know what

646
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.320
you've done anything with them because it's
thirteen points. That's a lot of points.

647
00:45:54.360 --> 00:46:00.159
But I need the point. I
need the one point. Again,

648
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.039
if we said it was either gonna
be bad for you or good for me,

649
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:07.559
and it was bad for you,
yeah, well it's still you have

650
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:12.559
two points. So if you need
this game tonight for two points, I

651
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:16.320
need to Yeah. Yeah, not
good, not good. Hope I didn't

652
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:22.199
wreck your season, wrecked my season. I got four more weeks to really

653
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:23.880
do something. Well, Hey,
we were talking about Arizona's ranking. PEMA

654
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:29.960
College men's basketball or women's basketball.
Bro ranked ranked fourteenth. The men should

655
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:35.400
be up there to they're kicking there
ain't no when they're killing people. I

656
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:39.760
didn't see that. I just saw
the women's Yeah, I'm yon who's texting

657
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:45.519
me earlier because they're killing they're scoring
a ton of points. Yeah, you

658
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:47.480
said they're undefeated, right, I
think they're eight No, two, Oh,

659
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.360
they're also fourteen. They're fourteen two. Okay, about fourteen in the

660
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.360
country. When you think about the
number of junior colleges out there, that's

661
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.320
that's pretty damn right in their style
of play. They'd like to run.

662
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:01.800
Oh no, they're doing great,
all right. Uh, the transfer portal

663
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:07.800
is all over the place. Guys
opting out of boat Bowl games. Sam

664
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.440
Hartman, the quarterback of Notre Dame, says, I ain't going to al

665
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:15.599
Passo. He's not gonna play in
the sun Ball when they're playing Oregon State.

666
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:20.760
I think they're playing. So he's
he's not gonna play in the sun

667
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:27.719
Ball. And then lie up,
lie up, lay out to lat To.

668
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:31.719
The defensive lineman from u C.
L A said he's skipping the l

669
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:35.440
A Bowl where they were going to
play Boise State. Again. Guy's gonna

670
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:37.239
be a number one draft pick.
He's a PAC twelve defensive Player of the

671
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:43.320
Year, first team All American.
He's gonna say, I'm not gonna go

672
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:47.880
to play Boise State. So there's
there's been some of that, and then

673
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.599
one thing one more. You know, we saw that the Lakers one that

674
00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:53.880
didn't see the tournament. People are
having fun with that, saying Michael Jordan

675
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:59.920
never won one. So they said
Lebron James is greater than Michael Jordan.

676
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.360
Jordan. Sure, sure, I
saw some of it, and they were

677
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.400
pretty good in the wholes. Yeah. Uh, but Bronnie did play.

678
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:09.199
We talked about that while I was
gonna bring that up. Ronnie James got

679
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:13.559
in and played, and then they
probably got beat by Long Beach by Long

680
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:17.159
Beach State, Ucla lost it lost
to Villanova. Over the weekend, we

681
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:22.000
were talking with Gabe Gabriel. You
know the Pack basketball again is looking to

682
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:23.960
be not very good. Well,
that's the whole thing outside of Arizona.

683
00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:28.000
Arizona, Arizona, and we've seen
this before. We've seen this dance,

684
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.880
but with somebody else, Gonzaga,
right, they go through their breach through

685
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:34.960
their league. Uh, they they
don't get tested very often. They started

686
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.480
to play tougher teams. But so
this is like Gonzaga two point zero for

687
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.559
Arizona. They need to because the
league is not gonna give him any any

688
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.840
They're not gonna ge him any help
both from a from a strict schedule arranged

689
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.920
exactly the strength of schedule health.
So, oh, just came across Washington

690
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:55.559
State quarterback cam Ward is going is
expected to visit Miami. Huh, and

691
00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:01.360
he's thinking about also visiting Florida State. Well, i'd be good. They

692
00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:05.960
need a fourth string quarterback, yeah, yeah, so it's you know,

693
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.119
hey, that Army Navy game.
You just see it. That was fun.

694
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:13.480
I didn't see it until those games. Men always come down to them.

695
00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:15.960
And they had no chance with like
two minutes left, I know they

696
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.639
were up two touchdowns, the Armies
up two touchdowns, are two minutes left,

697
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.199
and Navy goes down the field like, don't with the feet up.

698
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:25.119
I mean, they're just how did
they get the ball back? Four out?

699
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:28.719
Three? Three and out with about
a minute? Well, yeah,

700
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:30.360
three, Well it was three and
well they did it on side kick.

701
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.519
Oh, I got it and Army
got it. Okay, Army got it,

702
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.880
got it three and out and they
punted. Oh and it was in

703
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:40.000
eleven yard punt, so they got
the ball like the thirty five yards.

704
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.559
How much time with just under two
minutes left? Oh oh, so there

705
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:45.360
was a quick one. It was
a quick one. So they yeah,

706
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:49.360
the Navy had timeouts, so they
moved down. So they went down and

707
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.559
got it to the one yard line, fourth down on the one with twelve

708
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.559
seconds left, and they ran a
sneak and didn't get in an Army one.

709
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:02.079
And I covered a game. You
will tell you what he's talking about.

710
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:06.079
He's horror about something, and then
you do you do? You like

711
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:10.480
getting pools and bet on games and
things like that. Actually, I'm not

712
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:14.639
very knowledgeable in sports. Well that
makes two of us in this room,

713
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:22.320
and you talk about himself, all
right, but we're gonna we're gonna fix

714
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:29.559
that or or e or jah.
Okay exactly. But uh, I know

715
00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:31.840
that that came always a great game. And I told you I didn't you

716
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.599
know, I didn't know what to
do, and I didn't find five NFL

717
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.280
games I wanted to play, so
I decided to take the game. I

718
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:40.519
didn't really flip a coin. It's
kind of like eenie meenie miney mode,

719
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:45.079
which one do I take? And
I just took Army because they'd won their

720
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:47.519
last two games. They were both
five and six. They were so even,

721
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:52.960
they're both five three points spread.
Yeah, it had it had all

722
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:57.239
the makings of a push, and
but I took Army and I hit it,

723
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.679
and then I didn't hit another game
until last night, which it just

724
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:05.519
sucks less. So Dallas, Dallas
look good, but maybe they did or

725
00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:07.960
maybe not as good. Yeah,
you know they've been they've been drilled two

726
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:10.840
games in a row. My good
teams, they played the Niners. I

727
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:14.400
mean hard. It's hard to go
back to back playing the Niners. In

728
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:16.639
the cop right, they had the
Niners at home, but they got rolled

729
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:19.679
there and then they go to Dallas
and they got rolled again. So when

730
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.440
you're one of the favorites to be
in the super Bowl, you should at

731
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.519
show up. I mean, it's
still got three losses, so they're still

732
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:30.800
you know, it's sill pretty good. But yeah, it's just been the

733
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:32.480
Chiefs. So I'm still pissed about
the Chiefs. You know, at home.

734
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:37.880
I think the Ravens looked awful until
they won on a cre right,

735
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:42.360
and that was a game I thought
they would kill and they didn't cover right,

736
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:47.280
Steve, I don't understand. And
I'm still doing pretty well in Draft

737
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:51.360
Kings. They didn't have a good
week this weekend. I lost everything that

738
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.079
I from. I would tell you
love it, she loves you, check

739
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:55.400
it out. I got to see
that Draft Kings acount. You know what.

740
00:51:55.480 --> 00:52:00.400
I'm tracking my stuff because I want
to know. I got to make

741
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.360
myself feel better, so I want
to know if I'm doing good. I

742
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:06.559
want to know that I'm doing good, and I am. But man,

743
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.519
it's just I can't and the thing. Here's the thing, though, I

744
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:15.519
think one of the reasons is I'm
not taking my poll picks, and I

745
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:20.400
feel like you broke so I bet
on other stuff. You get other stuff.

746
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:28.719
You'd be broken if you're taking your
your pool picks. Yeah, yeah,

747
00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.519
okay, Hey, good show.
Fun be surprised by Mo Tangara all

748
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:37.199
in talk and talked about Humarballo.
We made GILHARREDI awake, but we got

749
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.400
him. He was good, and
he was good talking about that to the

750
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:43.000
major leagues. You know, I
don't know about you, he said,

751
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.519
when he was a little kid,
he didn't think about playing in the Major

752
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.559
League. I sure did. Everybody
does everybody, especially when you're playing Now,

753
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:51.800
do you realistically think you're going?
And I thought about it. You

754
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.840
just don't know what it takes.
I hit those phantom home runs and stuff

755
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:57.840
like that. But you just don't
want to take me because I think he's

756
00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:00.400
right. Well, I know he's
right. Wouldn't you get up there?

757
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:05.880
The difficulty in staying there is just
that's hard. That's really hard. All

758
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:09.079
right. The big, big,
big show tomorrow, Terry Frankclona is gonna

759
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:13.280
join us. We've been catching him
at the Arizona basketball games. He was

760
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:15.199
We saw him at Duke. He
was at he was there on Saturday.

761
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:19.400
He's been around. We're gonna we'll
talk to him about show him. Man,

762
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.559
what does you think about all of
that? But Terry frankcne will join

763
