00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.400
Steve Ravera and Jaden Somns. They
have there I on the Ball on two

2
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:12.519
Sons sports station, Fox Sports fourteen
fifteen the welcome back to our on the

3
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.240
bar here on Fox Sports fourteen.
Tuty. I'm Steve, He's Jay,

4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:21.800
and Jay has some breaking news.
I think we do. I thought we

5
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:28.519
did. This is I on the
Ball breaking news on Fox's fourteen fifty.

6
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.039
All right, that was the computer
being a little slow. Okay, that

7
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.240
wasn't my fault. I was punching
the button I got supposed to. Okay,

8
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.920
breaking news, all kinds of things
like as we said in a lot

9
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.039
of different directions. First of all, how many times did this season did

10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.280
we hear? Colin Boswell's only seventeen, only seventeen. He's only seventeen.

11
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.000
He's only don't tell me he's changed
his age. Eighteen years old today,

12
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:55.439
Alan Boswell is eighteen. So he's
illegal to do what now pretty much everything

13
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.399
but drink. He can go.
He I can't drink. You can go

14
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:06.439
buy himself a R fifteen if you
want. I've tried. I can't help

15
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.359
myself sometimes. But happy birthday to
Colin Boswhile eighteen years old. Um,

16
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.040
you know here at arizonas we'll see
how long the future the future of the

17
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.560
future for a year, two years. I think he's got to be better.

18
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.280
I don't know. He's so nondescript, it's hard to say. You're

19
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.560
right. He does everything very well, not flash yeah, right, and

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.040
just solid t J McConn J McConnell. Right, But McConnell didn't go early,

21
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.719
so we'll see. I like him. I like how physical he is

22
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.959
um and I like how I just
like he doesn't He didn't seem to get

23
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.719
rattled. Even from the beginning.
You just didn't feel like he was ever

24
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.879
rattled, you know. And the
time went on, he just got more

25
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.599
and more confidence. He got better
and better. And I was I was

26
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.760
watching the Pence of the Pen,
the Prince game and games in the pecton

27
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.920
him, thinking, this guy's just
so steady. Yeah, he's just so

28
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.920
steady, does the right this makes
the right decisions he does, and the

29
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:05.879
kind of reported not so watch for
Kurt. Hur's gonna be fine. He's

30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.280
gonna be fine. He's gonna be
fine. While we're on the subject of

31
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.319
Kurt Crease, who went to West
Virginia another you have a basketball player at

32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.199
this time, a women's basketball player
Lauren Fields, who entered the chests for

33
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.439
portal. She's going to West Virginia. Oh well yeah, okay, so

34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.759
that's that's two for one. Two
players over there headed over there. See

35
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.759
if there, if they're gonna be
best buddies because they you know, shared

36
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.960
you know, experience here. Um, okay, this thing with Draymond Green

37
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:35.439
less night, I watched, I
watched the clip where he I mean he

38
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.120
kind of did stomp on on on
Sabonis, but almost like he was trying

39
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.960
to pull his foot away and he
hit him in the chest. Then I

40
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.560
don't know. Anyways, they're saying
he's not gonna get suspended. There has

41
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.439
been an announcement. Um, but
you know, I think if it wasn't

42
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.960
Draymond Green, he probably wouldn't be
got in trouble. I was gonna mention

43
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.439
that if you didn't. Yeah,
I think he's kind of his reputation has

44
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.360
preceded himself. Let's assume for a
second, you we're there in real time

45
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.319
and some dude kind of falls for
your fall down, you kind of grab

46
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.479
whatever. I don't blame simonus because
you don't know when your real life what

47
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.159
you would do here's this foot run
top of you. What are you gonna

48
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.919
do? Throw it away or grab
it or whatever. He grabbed it and

49
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.680
it was a better bag. And
even for Draymond, I mean, what

50
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.280
are you gonna move your foot right
where you're trying to get out of there,

51
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:24.719
trying to go run down the court
because the ball is headed down the

52
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.319
court. Right, This happens to
Dennis Rodman, it happens. If it

53
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.719
hasn't Draymond Green, it happens Bill
and Beer. Right, there's certain people

54
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.919
that are just kind of you can't
avoid if you can't avoid that. But

55
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.560
I I, you know, I
don't know. I don't like Draymond Green.

56
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.120
I don't like his I don't like
his acting chick. You know,

57
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.759
he punched his own teammate at the
beginning. I agree anything, I agree,

58
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.719
I agree, And I'm a warrior
trying to know this. Uh,

59
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.800
I think they're better off without him. Last night not so much. But

60
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.400
but last night was a struggle for
them. So yeah, yeah, anyways,

61
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.479
but some you know, a lot
of there was a lot of speculation

62
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.800
that he was going to be suspended. Now the speculation is that he's not,

63
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.319
So we'll see what happens there with
Draymond Green. Um. Well,

64
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.080
we'll talk some more about the sons
with uh with Jody Ailer um coming up

65
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:19.160
at seventeen. But there's an interesting
thing that you know. The Clippers are

66
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.360
moving to again in the arena over
there in Englewood by where the Forum is

67
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:31.160
and where they Steve Ballmer. Their
their owners said that they've considered changing the

68
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.720
name of the Clippers but have now
decided against it. They're gonna still be

69
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.759
the La Clippers. So were they
did they mention any names? They didn't

70
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.360
mention any name. That just said
that they weren't that they were thinking about

71
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.680
changing their name. So they'll they're
they're not going to do it, so

72
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.319
we'll see it. It's like the
marketing story. Yeah, um do you

73
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.639
have that? You know? Yeah? I do. I do so Larry

74
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:58.160
market in Um nothing this is breaking, but but Larry Marking he has to

75
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.000
and he has to serve some time
in the military. It's required by law

76
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.399
in Finland. Uh for you have
to do it before you're thirty years old.

77
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.199
Um, you have to. You
have to serve from six months to

78
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.000
a year. So it's finally able
to dig up because they make a comment

79
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.160
on the media on this one.
But it says six months to a year,

80
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.199
So he basically said, we're not
in the playoffs, so I've got

81
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.920
basically an extra month and a half
two months that I can serve. There's

82
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.319
there's been nothing that says that he
can leave at the start of the basketball

83
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:38.519
season and go serve the rest of
it spart. But it doesn't say I

84
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.680
had trouble finding any story that said
how long he's got to serve? Sports

85
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.680
Illustrated, Yahoo, UM USA today, all these stories, none of them

86
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.319
like you said, it should have
been the second paragraph of the story,

87
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.639
how long he's got to serve.
I finally found one that said six months

88
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.439
to a year. Shouldn't But it
doesn't say whether it has to be continuous

89
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.959
or right, And it doesn't say
whether it's continuous or not if he can

90
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.079
break it up. But he's got
to do it by the time he's thirty,

91
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.360
so he started. There's pictures of
him on social media with a with

92
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:09.680
his buzzcut hair. You know,
those gold locks are are are gone.

93
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.839
He's they show he's in Lyne with
some other with some other members of the

94
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.639
military, and he's a foot taller
than all of them pretty funny. Right,

95
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.560
There's one thing. I don't know
why this came to mind, but

96
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.959
I would steal. And I've said
this publicly that I would take Laurie over

97
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.240
Eton, which may be controversial.
More skills, a very good player,

98
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.079
and the future continues to be so
bright. But the one thing about these

99
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.959
guys that Sean recruited, uh,
and we all know about guys they recruited.

100
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.000
They're all good guys. Just look
at you know, Ristic. We

101
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.360
had him on the show. Very
good guy marketing, very quiet, good

102
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.000
dude. Ayton even was kind of
a goofy, cool dude. I don't

103
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.680
think I don't have to search,
but I can't remember a bad dude.

104
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:59.360
You know what I'm saying. For
Miller, Oh he was. He was

105
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.560
different. Yeah, it was just
different. He wasn't a bad Yeah,

106
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.519
he was just different. Well okay, let me, I let me.

107
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.680
I'll just say my opinion was he
was a bad team Well he was in

108
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.639
it for himself. Yeah that's different. That's yeah, he was. I

109
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.680
was just say, you think,
yeah, so yeah that to me and

110
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.519
to me, that's a bad guy. Yeah. Yeah, No, he

111
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.279
just kind of was. That's how
he grew up and then he makes it

112
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.519
the NBA get the big bucks,
and that was his downfall again. He

113
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.279
didn't want to not a shot ball
right all right? Um, other big

114
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.199
news in the NFL. DeMar Hamlin, the guy who lapsed on the field.

115
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.399
Basically he said, his quote was
I died on the field that night.

116
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.279
Uh yeah, he said I died
on national TV. He will Um,

117
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.360
he's been clear to play clear to
he's he's participating in voluntary workouts with

118
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.920
the Bills. You know he's he
held a press conference. His goal is

119
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.759
to be on the field with the
Buffalo. I hadn't heard this. I

120
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:05.079
mean I had heard it, but
hadn't had it. Um. I guess

121
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.319
I had heard that this was a
possibility. But he said that the specialists

122
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.600
agreed that the reason his heart stopped
was a result of something called commodio cordis,

123
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.480
which is a direct blow at a
specific point in a heartbeat that causes

124
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.160
cardiac arrest. So he just got
hit at the right place at the right

125
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.720
time, and it caused that.
It wasn't that strange only because we see

126
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.680
athletes do this all the time at
any point, at any point kickboxing or

127
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.960
w ucuci kicked in the heart in
the chest. But that doesn't that doesn't

128
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.120
happen unless it's happened, and we
don't know about But we've heard and while

129
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.080
we've heard of players, baseball players
getting hit in the chest with the line

130
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.159
drive right or with the pitch and
have died as a result. Right,

131
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.000
you know, it's got to be
that kind of a blow. I don't

132
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.799
recall I recall seeing what happened that
he actually got that kind of a blow

133
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.519
with Hamlet. What do you mean. I mean, he took a helmet

134
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.679
to the chest, But it didn't
seem all that like somebody you know,

135
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.559
Oh, it was routiered, It
was eute. It was just a routine

136
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.120
thing, you know, bad timing. I mean, honestly, would you

137
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.080
do it? Would you do it? Yeah? It's hard to say because

138
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.200
I don't know that I've ever been
as competitive as these guys right right this

139
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.120
and this is their life, this
is their life, and the tons somebody

140
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.240
doing it. It's been Tom Hamlet's
life. It gathers and stuff back in

141
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.480
the day. Would you have done
it again? Or you know, yeah,

142
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.320
that's toff. I don't know,
But anyway, TOMR. Hamlets as

143
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.559
uh going to be years old,
I have another one. I don't know

144
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.279
if you have a local story like
this, Well, go ahead, Um,

145
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.080
did you see what happened yesterday?
Oh yeah, former US a softball

146
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.559
player, a local star uh stixy
redundant to Santa Cruz passed away. Yeah,

147
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.240
a fifty two, fifty two years
old. And I covered the team

148
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.759
when they were ninety one and ninety
three when she was on it and they

149
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.039
won the title. I mean,
come on, I was almost sixty,

150
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.000
she was eighteen twenty. I was
six years older, and I'm thinking,

151
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.639
holy more, what the hell?
Yeah, we know anything. Yeah,

152
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:01.879
I don't want to say this.
I'll tell you off there. I don't

153
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.440
want to because I don't know if
it's been in public. But it's just

154
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.840
kind of the times of our lives
where you just don't know. Yeah,

155
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.440
you just don't, don't you don't
And that and that was one of the

156
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.200
things that DeMar Hamlet said that more
than anything, he's come to appreciate every

157
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.039
minute of his life. Yeah,
I don't take I don't take one minute

158
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.960
of my life for Graham. I
think I think that when you have something

159
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.440
like this, and anybody can call
in and say when something like this happens,

160
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.639
you realize, you realize it,
but it doesn't happen until it happens.

161
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.720
You really, right, you don't
know, Yeah, you don't know.

162
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.519
Yeah, that was very very very
sad, really sad to see that.

163
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.720
All Right, Um, we're talking
recruiting Tommy Lloyd, a couple of

164
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.120
guys he's waiting to hear from.
But Carter Bryant, the number four overall

165
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.000
at least by two four seven Sports
overall prospect in the twenty twenty four class,

166
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.480
says he's going to announce is the
decision tomorrow? Isn't it isn't strange?

167
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.360
Go ahead and say it between.
It's between Arizona and Louisville. For

168
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.720
him, he's a six a two
hundred and twenty five pound uh wing.

169
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.600
So his Louisville and Arizona, aren't
they just two totally different teams today today,

170
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.399
not historically but today because Louisville was
dog off, they were terrible and

171
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.279
they still have the same coach.
Right. I mean, you're hoping unless

172
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.399
he wants to be part of the
like the Jetfish creation something like that,

173
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.919
you know, start over, But
it seems like is there a choice?

174
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.480
Yeah, And he's from California.
Yeah, but the Saint Louis thing doesn't

175
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.440
make any sense unless there's something and
I right, right, right, Um,

176
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.279
But you know, if he wants
to go play for a team that

177
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.759
is in a better position, a
program that's in better position, why wouldn't

178
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.480
in Arizona. But he's gonna make
his announcement at five o'clock tomorrow. No,

179
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.200
I thought it's the twenty sixth.
I'm sorry. Next week, a

180
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.879
week from the twenty six eight o'clock
Eastern time, five o'clock our time.

181
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.720
He's gonna do it on the two
four seventh Sports channel on YouTube. Isn't

182
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.840
it funny? Isn't it funny?
And this funny is the right word.

183
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.960
But I covered recruiting in the late
eighties. I hated it. You hated

184
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.720
it too, you put it,
covered it before me. And back then

185
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.919
it was chasing down the kids and
could you tell you know what were you

186
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.240
thinking? Blah blah blah. Now
it was press converences with hats and remove

187
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.279
about you know what. Now it's
TV crap. I was gonna say a

188
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.120
bad word. Uh, I don't
get it. I don't like it.

189
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.639
I just don't. I'm gonna I'm
gonna say a very judgmental thing, and

190
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.000
it may come to eat my words
if he does come to Arizona. I

191
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.559
really am a little suspect of a
player who likes to call this much attention

192
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.559
to him. Yeah, no,
it's it's yeah, it happens. Sanna

193
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.159
Johnson won, right, Sandy Johnson
did it. He was here for a

194
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.759
year. And what do you know
about Santa Johnson. I don't dismirche any

195
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.480
of the their telling have your time, it's your time, you get to

196
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.440
do it. You've been wanting to
do something like this forever. But to

197
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.200
me, somebody who likes to have
this kind of attention, this kind of

198
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.360
spotlight on him, I wonder how
much of a team player this we don't

199
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.600
want? Yeah, you know,
we don't need the not help, but

200
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.279
think that and maybe it's it's a
sign of the times. And I'm okay

201
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.519
with that, I guess, but
I'm not. Yeah yeah, um all

202
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120
right, uh real quick uh.
Pack twelve Women's golf tournament is on.

203
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.679
They finished day two and Arizona is
in a tie for first place. Well

204
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.360
USC eight under par after two days, which is a dang good score.

205
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.559
Sounds like we'll have to have coach. I know, we haven't had our

206
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.159
own show for a long while.
We'll see how they do PAC twelves when

207
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.639
they getting ready for nationals. But
they came. They were three strokes down

208
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.080
going into today. Uh, they
caught to the ki USC and they are

209
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.039
now in a tie for first playing
up in Phoenix uh at Papago Golf Club.

210
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.759
The tournament starts again tomorrow at nine
o'clock nine ten two some time.

211
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.039
Well, of course arizon a time, but trying to win a Pac twelve

212
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.879
championship. So there you go.
So um. And then one last thing.

213
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.639
Uh, this threw me back to
nineteen eighty right when when the when

214
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.440
the US boycotted the the Moscow Olympics
and and all that stuff and then but

215
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.120
h Russia has been is not going
to be allowed to participate in the men's

216
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.559
Olympic basketball tournament in Paris next year. The the FIBA, the governing body

217
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.399
for international basketball, has said you're
out because of because of the warren Ukraine.

218
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.720
They had already uh, the the
women's team had already been ruled out

219
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:28.480
of the Olympics as well. Basically, team sports from Russia are not being

220
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.879
allowed to participate. Individuals can and
they and they're they can they can participate

221
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.480
not representing Russia. So whatever Olympic
sports, even your track or whatever.

222
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.039
But as far as teams like uh
like basketball and whatnot, they're not gonna

223
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.639
be allowed to participate in basketball.
Men's basketball is out. Well it was

224
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.600
something that was handed down today.

all right, perfect time. Let's

00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:41.519
right, Hey, it's no Dee
has has Phoenix burned down yet? If

297
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.759
they lose tonight, who knows.
Man, If they lose tonight, it's

298
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.839
gonna be wild. But you know, I just telling people before the playoffs

299
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.839
started, there's all these Suns fans
that were just like, oh, who's

300
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:57.200
smished office in the past, and
this team together for eight games. You

301
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.319
gotta have some humility in the NBA
playoffs, And I think that first game

302
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.440
was enough of a reminder that there's
a long way to go between the first

303
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.359
Suns championship. Well all right,
all right, well what okay, I

304
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.119
mean in your mind, what went
wrong on that besides where Russell Westbrook?

305
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.359
What went wrong in the last game? Well, they used to starting lineup

306
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.960
they've never used before with Kevin Durant. That's one Tory Cray played well,

307
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.680
but that completely changed the dynamic of
every other role player. And then they

308
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.000
just don't have a bench. They
don't have a single championship caliber role player

309
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.720
coming off the bensional. Malik Monk
is impacting the Warriors King series in dramatic

310
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:40.480
way. Every team's got a guy
that's a difference maker, except except the

311
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.880
Suns. They've got, you know, a couple of bids that are fringe

312
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.000
NBA guys, and Josha Kobe is
a fringe rotation. Play this they don't

313
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.359
happen. And by the way,
Kevin Durant Devin Booker weren't at their best.

314
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.680
So it's hard to beat teams when
your two best players are are good

315
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.799
but not great. So I don't
know, how do you handle this team

316
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.640
in your show in the morning,
because you're you're you straight, you shoot

317
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.200
a straight You know you're not a
fan, but you're not a hater that

318
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.839
much, So how do you how
do you shoot? How do you talk

319
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.880
about this team? They're not winning
the championship and that it's going to take

320
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.559
a summer to overhaul their roster around
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. And you

321
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.599
can't pay direct DeAndre eight and thirty
million dollars to be an average NBA center.

322
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.440
And I think there's there's the Kevin
Durant trade. Some people view that

323
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.839
as the final step for a championship. I view it as the first step

324
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.359
to this team becoming a championship caliber
and there's going to be a few other

325
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.319
steps along the way. Chris Paul
was in trade rumors. That's terrible to

326
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:44.000
try to convince him that he's still
the guy when you know blatantly shopped him

327
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.400
for Kyrie Irving. So I think
the Kevin Durant trade was step one,

328
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.200
and to me, as long as
he's on the team, they've got a

329
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.519
championship window. So it's not like
they've got to win it this year.

330
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.799
By the way, the Cail Bridges
and Kim Johnson are having some nice moments

331
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.799
that the Nets can't even come close
to beating the sick. So I don't

332
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.000
feel like there's any trade regret.
It's just going to take a little more

333
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:08.079
time. Are you happy they didn't
get Kyrie Irving? Oh? Yeah,

334
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.119
that would have been awful. I
mean just we've seen obviously what he's done

335
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:17.200
every steps that he left Cleveland and
Lebron, So you know, there's a

336
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.720
lot of rumblings out there that Kyrie
is going to be a Phoenix Sun this

337
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:25.519
summer. I think that would be
a debacle. You know that's that's that's

338
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.680
a debacle. Well that's when you're
trying to buy the team and it just

339
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.279
doesn't really work. We were just
talking about this earlier. Talent doesn't always

340
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.880
win the day, especially if they
don't like each other. Yeah, you've

341
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.200
got to have other things of it
than you got to have depth, you

342
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.440
gotta have chemistry, You've got a
leadership. This is the one area I

343
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.519
think Suns fans are sort of being
introduced to with Kevin Durant is he's never

344
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.279
wanted to be the guy, the
guy that does everything right. He's not

345
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.039
Lebron where it wants to be his
team. He wants to call the shots,

346
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.319
he wants to be the GM.
He wants to be the leader.

347
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.480
Like Kevin duran has said over and
over again over the years, like I

348
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.359
just want to play basketball. In
Brooklyn, James Harden was reported to the

349
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.440
leader the locker room. In Golden
State, it was Steph Curry and Draymond

350
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.039
Green. In Oklahoma City, Russell
Westbrook was sort of the alpha and the

351
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.480
front and center guy, and Kevin
Durant was just the great player that he

352
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.400
is. But he doesn't want to
be everything to everyone, and when you're

353
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.160
when you're the best player on the
team, that sometimes could be a problem.

354
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.559
Yeah yeah, So okay, so
they it just didn't go well for

355
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.400
them the other night. You know, tonight, they've got to do what

356
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.559
well tonight. They need Kevin Durant
and Devin Booker to combine for at least

357
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:40.319
sixty points. I think they're gonna
need a little bit more from DeAndre Ayton

358
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.160
in terms of physicality. I think
they probably need to play Terrence Ross more

359
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.279
than four minutes because he's the one
guy off the bench that can kind of

360
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.400
get hot and buy you some time. And they just you know, that

361
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.799
game was a lot closer than I
think people think in hinzech Is it's just

362
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.319
spelling dramatic, but just box out, grab some rebounds, hit some open

363
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.559
shots that the team hits most of
the time, and they should even up

364
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.440
the series. And I do expect
him to win tonight. But I'm kind

365
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.079
of surprised the line was eight points. That's still a lot I would I

366
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:14.160
wouldn't think they cover that, but
I do think they get the outright w

367
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.680
So I liked your evaluation and when
I asked you we talk about it here

368
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.759
because we're not close, like you
guys that if if m Durant stays healthy,

369
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.000
if this, if that, and
I hate that word. If you're

370
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.480
going to hope for something because you
don't know, right if something goes wrong

371
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.160
your toast, What do you think
about that? Where everything's kind of dependent

372
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.880
on the if. I think that's
the whole NBB now. I mean,

373
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.279
I think injuries and load management and
everything is just a let's just hope we

374
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.720
get to the playoffs healthy, and
I think the whole league operates that way.

375
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.119
So I don't think that's just the
Sun's obviously, with Kevin Durant's injury

376
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.559
history is a little bit more pronounced. But I think the whole NBA now

377
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.680
is like, all right, let's
say, don't win a championship. You

378
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:03.359
get to the regular season and it's
just one long waiting room at the dentist

379
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:08.119
office until you get to the playoffs
and it's just not fun. So unfortunately,

380
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.000
I don't think there's any other way
to look at it, and I

381
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.759
think the NBA is sort of battling
that right now. Well they're time.

382
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:19.240
I'm well, there's first of all, the rule that you got to play

383
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.319
in. What are they saying sixty
five games to get to win an award

384
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.160
and all that kind of stuff.
Right, But let me ask, how

385
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.000
is Devin Booker responded to having Kevin
Durant run Because Devin Booker was the guy,

386
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.559
right and now Kevin Durant is the
guy. Has that been good for

387
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.640
him? How do you think he's
taken that? Yeah? I think he

388
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.559
already had some experience of that when
Chris Paul was acquired, and Devin Booker

389
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.680
has done great with it. I
mean, this is one of the reasons

390
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.519
why Devin Booker so beloved is that
there's no drama with Devin Booker. I

391
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.279
mean, he is always going to
be team first. He's always going to

392
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:59.119
be the guy that's calming things down, not escalating things. So Devin Booker

393
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.240
has been great, and I think
I think what we're seeing is that,

394
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:06.359
you know, over this period that
Kevin Durant is a son, assuming he

395
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.519
saves a son for the duration of
the contract, because that's another element of

396
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.759
the NBA you can for Dick.
But assuming it is, I think Devin

397
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:17.079
Booker will eclipse Kevin Durant within you
know, the next eighteen months. Is

398
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.640
the unquestioned best player on this team, and I think that's nothing but a

399
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.839
good thing for him and the Suns. So you said they will not win.

400
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.920
I totally agree with you. Wouldn't
win at all. Where are they

401
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:33.640
going to find their hiccup? Um? I mean, I think there's a

402
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.480
slightly better than fifty percent chance to
beat the Clippers. And then if I

403
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.039
think the Nuggets would probably you know, beat them in five or six games,

404
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.440
I don't. I don't. I
don't think they can beat the Clippers

405
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.880
in a seven game series with this
roster, and you know, barring injury

406
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.759
obviously, but that there's just no
debt. And that's the problem. I

407
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.880
mean, the deeper you go into
the playoffs, the more you need role

408
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.319
players to step up and over puce
and I don't. I don't trust any

409
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.440
of the Sun's role players as as
the postseason players on. Okay, all

410
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.279
right, all right? So um, and you mentioned again we've had we've

411
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.920
we've talked about DeAndre and every time
you've been on the show you called him

412
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:12.839
average a few minutes ago, Is
there any hope that he's going to be

413
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.920
better than average at some point?
No? No, I think we've been

414
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:21.319
playing that game for six years.
I mean DeAndre ET's pretty much the same

415
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.400
guy now as he was a freshman
at U of A, which is,

416
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.119
hey, we see the talent,
you see the skill, but it's just

417
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.039
not there. There's just some guys
I don't know. Everyone keeps thinking it's

418
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.240
time and it's gonna click, And
I don't think DeAndre Aden's wired the way

419
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.119
you have to be wired to maximize
your abilities and to be a great player.

420
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.599
I think he's a good NBA player. I think he's a good role

421
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.279
player. I think he's productive.
I think he brings more to the table

422
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.640
than he takes off. But I
think we need to all drop this idea

423
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.160
that there's something more lurking inside of
DeAndre eight and like the guy, it's

424
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.880
just not gonna happen. It's funny
you say that, it's a great observation

425
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.759
because when he got here, his
like he didn't have the motor or he

426
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.119
didn't have the motivation, because all
his life he's done the biggest guy.

427
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.519
He didn't have to show up,
but just show up and play right.

428
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.240
And it's you say, six years
later, hasn't really changed. But what's

429
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.200
that saying? If they show you
who you are, that's believe him or

430
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.000
something like that. This is exactly
exactly right. DeAndre Ayton is one of

431
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.880
those guys that he's been telling us
exactly who and what he is for years.

432
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:25.319
And it's a good player, right, it's a good player. This

433
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.279
is not DeAndre Ayton staying sir.
It doesn't have a role like. He's

434
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.039
a good and gay player. He
can be a productive member of your rotation.

435
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.200
He's not a star. He's never
going to be a star. He's

436
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.759
not. He's not. He's just
not cut out for that, I don't

437
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.400
think. And you know, he
got his contract, that didn't change things.

438
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.960
The pursuit of the contract didn't change
things. You know, the playoff

439
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:51.400
run and the finals run didn't make
him a fundamentally different player. I'm just

440
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.720
running out of ways for the light
bulb to turn on. And so I

441
00:29:53.839 --> 00:30:00.680
think the Suns will probably have a
real conversation this summer about trading DeAndre Eton.

442
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:04.079
And the question is who wants a
thirty million dollars a year center.

443
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.839
That's pretty good but but nowhere near
being great. Yeah, yeah, no,

444
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:11.160
don't kid him. And you know, I mean, yeah, Steve

445
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.880
talking about his time here, we
had we saw him for this one year

446
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:18.400
and I mean there were games that
he just didn't show you, whether you

447
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.000
say you want to say he took
games off, you know, intentionally or

448
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.839
greorgious games that he just wasn't around, and that was that was tough to

449
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.720
see. Was such a talent Well
yeah, I mean I always go back

450
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.759
to the Buffalo game, and you
know that season was so tumultuous, with

451
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.960
so much drama on so many Clay
the FBI investigation and Sean Miller and all

452
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.720
that, But like that Buffalo game, they were defending DeAndre a with a

453
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:47.599
guy that was like six seven sixty
eight, and instead of putting down you

454
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.079
know, thirty and fifteen to just
will his team to a victory, he

455
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.680
just kind of packed it in and
didn't didn't really do much. And I

456
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:59.440
think that game's always sort of stained
how I viewed DeAndre Aton, and to

457
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.079
be to be honest, I think
it's been the accurate the kind of player

458
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.000
we've seen since then, which is
doesn't rise to the challenge, has been

459
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:12.079
prodded and kind of shoot on by
Chris Paul and Devin Booker and Monty Williams

460
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.000
for years, and you just you
kind of get the same DeAndre in which

461
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.079
again everyone points to his box score. Oh he was eighteen and eight in

462
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.039
game one. There's no presence from
DeAndre, there's no impact, there's no

463
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.759
like, this is my paint,
these are my boards. Like he's just

464
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.119
a guy out there and they need
him to be more. Yeah, it's

465
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.640
really strange because if you are who
you are, there's no perception. There's

466
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.319
no way he's going to change that
perception. Let's change the topic real quick

467
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.680
of ASU football because I had something. They had some questions about did you

468
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.960
see any of it? Did you
care anything about it? And one what

469
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.200
was the real attendance there? Yeah? No, So I did patch run

470
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.400
on Saturday morning and the event was
a few hours after. And their whole

471
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.359
plan was, Hey, if we
do it after patch run, whether there's

472
00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:00.519
thirty thousand plus people all on you
know, at the Stadt at the Tempu

473
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:05.279
campus, maybe we can just get
people to stick around. And that's a

474
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.960
that's an event where it's an amazing
community event, but as soon as it's

475
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:13.839
over, people lead and you know, it's just hard to get people to

476
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.400
come to a spring game when they
weren't patch round, but they don't want

477
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.960
to fight the traffic to get down
there. It was minimally intended. I

478
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.400
did not go to it. I
saw obviously some videos and highlights of it,

479
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:30.200
but um, you know, I
think Kenny Dillingham is learning. I

480
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:36.039
think it's an impressive hire phrase too, but he's used to whatever energy he

481
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:40.480
puts into recruiting and networking has been
directly paid out in results. I think

482
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.480
when it comes to fan support,
it doesn't matter how hard you work,

483
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.519
it doesn't matter how much hype you
create. If you're not winning football games,

484
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:51.200
people are not going to show up
an a sue and you of a

485
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.359
football are similar in that way where
you know, Jetfish can take out full

486
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:59.640
page ads pleading for a sellout,
or they can have this gimmick or that

487
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.640
can if you're you know, three
and five, no one cares. And

488
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.720
so these coaches are being paid a
tremendous amount of money. They need to

489
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:12.240
understand one thing, and I think
jet Fish learned this and is applied it

490
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.839
a little better. Near three years. You have to leave. That's what

491
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.039
you're being not just a team.
You've got to lead the program. You've

492
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.119
got to lead the charge. You've
got to lead, You've got to produce,

493
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.920
and if that happens, people will
follow. Now, if you lead

494
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.319
and you win and people don't follow, then I understand complaining about fans.

495
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.039
But then I understand complaining about fans. But it's not up to fans to

496
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.160
lead the program. They're not the
one getting paid millions of dollars. It's

497
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.920
up to you. And I think
Kenny Dilling and a young guy is learning

498
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.480
that. I think Jetfish it took
him probably two years to learn that.

499
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:51.400
But that's that's the way it works
at as you and you have exactly real

500
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.759
quick a minute before you go,
what's the latest on what everything the Cardinals

501
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.359
is going to do in the draft? Well, man, everything's differ now.

502
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.279
But it sounds like the Tectives might
take a quarterback at number two,

503
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:06.759
might not take a quarterback. So
I think they want to trade down.

504
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:08.840
The question is do they have anybody
who wanted to trade up? Um?

505
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:15.079
I think trading down is just their
number one option. And I'm they're gonna

506
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:20.599
need eighteen new starters between last year
to next year, and it's going to

507
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.599
start with a lot of ticks,
So that's what they need. That's an

508
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:30.239
industry, holy, holy and all. Because we talked about this one before

509
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:35.599
the year, Murray, I think
it's a horrible experiment and it's proven to

510
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.480
be horrible, and good luck having
patience with that team. Yeah, I

511
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:45.079
know it's been it's been a test, but you know that's we get to

512
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:46.719
talk about the teams for a little. It's not all bad. Thank you,

513
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:52.159
Hey, Jody, thanks a Buching. I appreciate it. Always pleasure

514
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.079
guy. Yeah, thank you,
Jody Eyler. I love him talking to

515
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:58.840
him because he's straight. Yeah,
yeah, and the voice and the voice,

516
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:00.639
yeah, what he's straight, he
really is, you know. And

517
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:05.880
look, he doesn't hate anybody,
but he's got his opinion about everybody and

518
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.079
it's always you know. And what
I like why it's an informed depend but

519
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:10.199
you know, he's just not making
stuff up. No, no, no,

520
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:13.760
I'd like every take on that.
Yeah, it's very cool. All

521
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.519
right, let's let's take our last
break. We're gonna come back. We'll

In my new book, Lessons from Loot,

528
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:38.400
it was a labor of love through
the eyes of twenty five former players,

529
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:43.079
coaches and friends to give insight to
the coach and the man who led

530
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.840
them, competed against them, and
inspired them twenty five chapters for his twenty

531
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:51.199
five years as Arizona's beloved coach.
Lessons from Loot is an insight to how

532
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.000
he built the program into a national
powerhouse. What one email me at Steve

590
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.119
again. Hey, just two brief
topics. One is, uh, you

591
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:09.119
know what the Arizona basketball you know, always was a loot guy. I'm

592
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:13.599
a hundred in on Tommy, So
to me, it's gotta be you know,

593
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.480
there's two in God we trust and
then Tommy and we'll take it from

594
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:22.199
there, you know that, you
know. Hey, and how about how

595
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.400
about a little gambling? A little
gambling? All right? What do you

596
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:30.440
got? You know? I thought, uh, it wasn't the second coming

597
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:35.360
when an online gambling came in a
year and a half ago, but boy,

598
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.960
I should love it. Hey,
here's a bit of a friend of

599
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.960
mine showed me, and I like
to do this, you know, with

600
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:43.800
your in game parlay. Like you
know, I'm watching these scores in the

601
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:47.519
basketball games and the Hawks up man, who's thirty five points? I thought

602
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:51.719
that ten points was gonna be a
little MutS maybe with the Celtics, but

603
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:54.639
now who knows. But here's what
I like to do, guys. When

604
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.760
you're gonna put an end game parlay
in, go to hockey. And when

605
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:04.400
you get a game that's in the
third period and it gets down to six

606
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.800
or eight minutes to go in the
game, in the third period, let's

607
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.079
say the score is four to one, that over under is usually gonna be

608
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:17.039
two and a half higher seven and
a half, and it sometimes it's fun

609
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:22.400
and it makes sense to go ahead
and throw that under ind along with whoever

610
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.639
else you really got on your parlay, because it helps your odds out and

611
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.079
it hits more than it doesn't,
you know, to hit that under within

612
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.599
the last six or eight minutes of
the third period. So so if I'm

613
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:39.480
betting hockey, I'm calling exactly exactly
where I was going. I haven't gotten

614
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:45.599
the table tennis yet, you know, cornhole. Well, let me say

615
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:49.199
if you're gonna say, and got
to be trust in time. When you

616
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:52.280
trust, who else do you have
left? You can't trust those two?

617
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:59.239
Well? You know that's it?
Right? Good luck. I always appreciate

618
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.880
you guys, all right, man, Hey, thanks for colleague. You're

619
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:06.239
right. I mean, I'm like, if I if I started betting hockey,

620
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:12.280
I could honey, call call call
one eight x step please help.

621
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:16.360
I need a lot of I need
a lot of hell. I've never I

622
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:20.000
don't even know what the hell I'm
a I'm a soccer guy, right,

623
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:23.239
but because my kids, But you
bet soccer. No. My point is

624
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:27.880
it's kind of the same offsides on
side. But but hockey, I have

625
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.599
no idea what they're doing. Yeah, I just know they're gonna get their

626
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:34.119
black thing in the in the in
the goal. Yeah you know. Um,

627
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.159
okay, Hey, here's the here, here's a little topic. Um.

628
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:39.199
Yogi Roth, our friend Yogi Roth
has been on our show Bunch of

629
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:45.119
Times Packed twelve Networks, and football
analyst Rate ranked his top three Pack twelve

630
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:51.760
quarterbacks. Caleb Williams number one,
Okay, Michael Pennis Washington number two.

631
00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:55.320
I almost even though I get it. Caleb Williams is the high of Trophy

632
00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:00.000
Window. But I think Michael Penis
can do more. I take Michael Panics

633
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.559
and then bow next at Oregon.
Three honorable mentions. Three honorable mentions,

634
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:07.119
Well, the co of course,
the three's left. I mean, obviously

635
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:12.760
came rising right, cam a Ward
at what Washington State and Oregon? Then

636
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.119
uh and then jan What about the
new guy Oregon State? None on that

637
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:22.119
list? Right now, you got
to do something. He was terrible at

638
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.360
Clemson last year. I think it's
for you first. Got to come in

639
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:29.079
and do some stuff before you start
ranking him with those. The thing is

640
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:31.119
what it tells you, though,
is how good the quarterback class is going

641
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:34.920
to be this year? In the
fact twelve, Yeah, every team you

642
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.760
play is gonna have good quarter Another
reason why it's not gonna be an easy

643
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:42.599
stretch. Oh, it's not because
well does that the new calendar? Yeah?

644
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.920
What does it say? I can't
see it from here? It really?

645
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:52.039
Is that mean we've got that?
We're talking about the football schedule poster.

646
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.159
It's up a great picture, is
great, but the schedule isn't like

647
00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.000
fine print at the bottom of the
poster. Weekend read it from the funny

648
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.960
think about it. What's the purpose
of the schedule? The schedule right right?

649
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.199
Yeah, exactly? The boss to
be able to read it. If

650
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:09.400
you put it up on your wall, we're supposed to be able to read

651
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:12.840
it. We can't read it from
here. And it's not because we're old

652
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.800
guys. Okay, you just can't
read the schedule. I mean, if

653
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:17.159
you're sharp eyes, you're not gonna
be able to read this schedule. But

654
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:21.239
anyways, um, but here the
thing, the thing of it is is

655
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:25.679
that at least going in Arizona's got
one of the quarterbacks right that, you

656
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:28.920
know, Arizona is gonna be we
were talking about, all the other games

657
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:30.559
are gonna be hard to win,
hard to beat Arizona no matter who.

658
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.440
You're right, they're not an easy
out right. The USC's gonna have a

659
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.360
tough time beating in Arizona. So
they're not gonna be They're gonna be able

660
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.320
to beat you on any day.
But as you said, you know you

661
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.480
can lose to all every team in
the Pac twelve. You can probably lose

662
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:50.119
two as well. The one thing
that I don't I don't feel any trepidation

663
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:55.400
is that their number two guys,
whether it's h or the kid from you

664
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.599
need to learn his name. Very
impressive, very impressive. We need we're

665
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:06.360
gonna need to very impressive because if
it's he's one of your guys playing guy,

666
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:08.199
Yeah, he looks the part for
sure. You know one of those

667
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:13.039
guys who looks good in a football
uniform, no doubt. But I'll say

668
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:16.039
what I'll also tell you good or
crews didn't too, right. Yeah,

669
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:20.599
but you know at the at the
spring game on Saturday, you know,

670
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.599
Jane Lare only played two series,
you know, the feet to playing a

671
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:28.440
lot more. He was on the
on the opposite team. His arm just

672
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:30.519
whose feet his arm? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he

673
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:36.159
made some throws. Now I think
he threw a pick. But the throws

674
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:37.800
that he makes, you know,
if he if he goes deep or whatever,

675
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:44.079
or his ball has some zip and
that's you know, I man,

676
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:46.840
I gotta imagine there's gotta be a
time that Tommy's wanted to put Tommy Je's

677
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:50.280
gonna want to put that on the
feed. Well, and and he has

678
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:52.679
the option of playing both right,
because he did some trick plays in the

679
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:57.519
two quarterbacks and the because he's got
some speed keeping off a feed. His

680
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:01.599
interest, Man, keep got so
keep you say that that way, and

681
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:07.599
I'm okay with that. But nowadays
and I l now it's it's like we

682
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:12.519
talked about with the Sean and m
Stanley Johnson, Uh, what if how

683
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.239
do you keep them happy? I
don't need to keep them happy. Guess

684
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:17.280
what you do now? Do you
do now? Absolutely do now, or

685
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:21.880
or you turn into the women's basketball
team. And quarterback is the position that

686
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:25.760
you have to do that more than
probably more than any position in any sport,

687
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.360
in any college sport, is you
got the quarterback. That's the one

688
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:35.119
that those are the guys that they
think a lot of themselves. Have to

689
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.519
be a college quarterback, you gotta
have a lot of confidence. They think

690
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.760
a lot of themselves and if they're
not playing, they're gonna go somewhere where

691
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.360
they're gonna Well, Jay, if
you wanted to write that story, you

692
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.119
don't talk to let's say ten talk
to the players the coaches in the PAC

693
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:52.079
twelve uh, and they say,
keeping people happy, you have to change

694
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:54.079
your things away. They're not gonna
go on the record with you. Now,

695
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:59.599
this is on off the record story
that one one the coach from an

696
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:01.880
a Philly team said, it's a
bunch of crap. Yeah, it's a

697
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:05.480
bunch of crap and I hate it. Or we have the time and the

698
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:07.480
sign of the times whatever, because
they're not gonna put their name to say

699
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:09.639
it's a bunch of crap. Yeah, well, you know, on the

700
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:13.280
way, and I was listening to
uh. I was listening to a conversation

701
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.239
on that podcast, had listened to
Dan Wets. One of those guys they're

702
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:20.920
talking about the situation in Mississippi,
Lane Kiffin. He's got three quarterbacks.

703
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:24.559
Two of them are the top recruits
and one is a is a transfer from

704
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:29.239
Oklahoma State who all think they should
be the guy, right, he said,

705
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.679
by the end of summer, how
many of those those three guys,

706
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:36.519
sure many of them are still going
to be a Mississippi Right, all of

707
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:38.519
a sudden, you've got this quarterback
room with three really good players. You

708
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.239
think we're in good shape. Somebody
gets hurt. We got guys. You

709
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.119
get to August and if two of
those guys left, because they're gonna go

710
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:47.360
somewhere where they're gonna play, no
question. And back in the day,

711
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:51.960
and I go back to the things
I know looch times h. You had

712
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.519
the team, the first team that
was pretty darn good, right, The

713
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:58.119
second team was pretty good, which
made the first team right, very good,

714
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:00.360
you know what I'm saying. Right, when you had that competition and

715
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:04.440
you didn't have to worry about people
leaving or whatever because they knew their time

716
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.400
was going to come. Yeah,
the Jason Terry's a world right. Well,

717
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.079
you know, you know, I
go back to the eighty eight team,

718
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:13.360
and Luke said a bunch of times
that one of the reasons the AD

719
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:20.519
eight team was so good with you
know, Kerr Meliots, everybody on the

720
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:22.440
team knew that those were the five
best guys. Yeah, and nobody was

721
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.440
arguing about whether or not they should
play. Let's not forget Sean Rooks and

722
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:30.280
Mark Georgson too, you know,
seven foot guys to the highest highly you

723
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:35.039
know, highest recruits in the country
at that time came Derizona and both ret

724
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:37.679
because both the treat because they knew
they weren'ting to play. And then you

725
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:43.079
had Harvey Mason, top recruit.
You had Matt Muellbach another top recruit,

726
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:47.000
and and Joe Turner who had been
here. Yeah, Kenny Lofton had these

727
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:52.880
guys and and and he said often
and everybody knows those five guys that are

728
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:54.760
starting for the best five. It's
funny. I don't think that Matt m

729
00:48:55.320 --> 00:49:00.159
has mentioned. We had four minutes
I talked about this because what they did

730
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.719
a lot after, you know,
all doing the fundamental stuff was the scrimmaged

731
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:07.760
a lot first team against second team
blah blah blah, and and Luke would

732
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.159
play the second team against first team
and he'd be bissed if the second team

733
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:15.639
won one, right, and they'd
play until the first team one just to

734
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:19.360
prove, just to prove his point
right for sure. And yeah, I

735
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.800
remember, I remember all that too, because you know again and and sometimes

736
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.360
that's what you need then other you
know, And look, the guys were

737
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:29.880
good enough to be competitive in practice, but there was no question who the

738
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:34.000
five starters were supposed to read.
And that kind of made that group.

739
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:37.039
You know, that's why the Gumbies
became the Gumbies because they knew, so

740
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:39.079
they didn't mind being the guys on
the bench cheering the team on making a

741
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:44.039
spectacle, which was a big part
of the heart of that trip and what

742
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:49.360
people loved about that team. How
many Gumbies text messages and things on social

743
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:52.400
media did we see after Harvey Mason
was on the show Friday? Yeah,

744
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.280
people still talk about the Gumbies.
Yeah, it was the good It's like

745
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.960
your first born the whole time,
was your first born. Yeah, exactly.

746
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:01.599
You love your first board. You
kind of tolerate your second board in

747
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:07.079
your third. I love all my
boards. Can we rock? Go right

748
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:13.079
ahead and safe the door brand with
the sissions that okay, you'll survived.

749
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:17.079
Don't wor about it. Put it
in water on it exactly exactly. So

750
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:21.199
okay, no, hey, good
show today. The fund the George was

751
00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:25.639
fun and Jodey's always good because he's
he's he's uh, straight, straight shooter,

752
00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:30.639
straight shooter. Your Celtics are up
ten. Now see what third quarter?

753
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:32.280
Two or two and a half minutes
left in the second quarter? Oh

754
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.920
yeah, that turned fast the NBA, because because I saw the Hawks got

755
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:40.639
up by ten. Yeah, it's
the Celtics. It turned over by twenty

756
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:45.199
point. It's three shots. That's
why the game last night with the Warriors

757
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:47.159
when they were down by six,
that's two shots by Curry. But he

758
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.239
hasn't he didn't shoot the ball.
Well uh and Thompson was okay, yeah,

759
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.719
who knows, man, I don't
know, man, what do you?

760
00:50:55.119 --> 00:51:02.800
I don't know. I just nobody's
expected. It was expecting the Warriors

761
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:09.000
to lose the first two games.
Right one. Here's here's your thought.

762
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:13.239
I was with somebody a couple of
nights ago talking about the tournament. They're

763
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.639
telling me. They said, oh, we missed an opportunity about betting the

764
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:20.559
underdogs because it was the underdog year. Right. But the problem with us

765
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:24.320
now and everybody else, uh,
we don't We're focused Arizona, Arizona basketball,

766
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:28.480
right, Arizona basketball, some pack
twelve, but we don't find out

767
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:34.159
about fau FAU until it's time.
But they're pretty dark. You don't realize

768
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:37.760
about the other schools around the country
because we're too focused on what we know

769
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:42.920
as well. That's it, And
and people get shocked by these and it

770
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:45.519
shouldn't be. Right after i FA
you won their first two games, how

771
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:49.440
many people did you say? Those
guys are really good? They're good.

772
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.159
They're thirty five games for a reason. They're really really good. But that

773
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:58.400
time you're Backet's already messed out.
Everybody's bracket was messed up. Come on,

774
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.280
you're gonna pick Farndy Dickinson over over
Virginia. You know what I'm saying.

775
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:04.960
You don't know because you don't know, because you don't know. And

776
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:07.239
the history of the game is,
well, Kansas is always good. We've

777
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.519
got to move down. It was
Arizone is always No, that's not how

778
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:14.920
it works. Always man. I
mean they're always good, but not you

779
00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:19.840
don't tournaments a different beam, that's
what happens. Yeah, so next year

780
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.119
we'll see more. You know,
maybe I have to do ten brackets.

781
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:28.039
But guy, all right, Okay, good show, okay, very good

782
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.000

We will have Pat Paris, we'll be

783
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:36.039

because people trying to fill in, Okay,

00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:39.599

785
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:44.119
