00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.639
Steve Rivera and Jacome Solens. They
have their eye on the ball on two

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:12.560
Sons sports station, Fox Sports fourteen
fifty. Hey, welcome back to win

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.800
the ball here at Fox Sports fourteen
fifty. Or I'm Steve Robera, you're

4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.839
Jacob Zonas. Who're gonna have breaking
news from you? Jake? Maybe we

5
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.320
aren't brought breaking on the ball break
up. I don't know if I want

6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:31.359
breaking news. Man. A couple
of things we did, okay, um,

7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.880
well, right out of the box, Well, we were talking about

8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.039
you know, Alabama, Alabama player
here at Arizona under some let's just say,

9
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:45.560
some curious circumstances mentioned. I think
yesterday that maybe it was the day

10
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:51.240
before that there was a situation with
Alabama baseball and UH sports books now in

11
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:57.079
three states of stopped taking bets on
Alabama baseball. The first comment was,

12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.439
if you're betting on college baseball,
you're a super degenerate. You've got a

13
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.040
big problem. As we go along, more and more stuff is happening.

14
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:11.599
The first thing is that UH Alabama's
baseball coach, um UH Brad Bohannon was

15
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.519
fired today and according to ESPN,
it's been determined that sports book surveillance video

16
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.400
shows that the person who was making
the bets and uh, there was a

17
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:29.040
person that's I don't know how sports
book making bets on LSU okay, was

18
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:36.719
talking to Bohannon on the phone at
the time. So basically they've determined that

19
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:42.200
that the Alabama coach was feeding information
to this guy who was making bets in

20
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.920
Ohio. And the reason that caught
the you know the there there's uh they

21
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.519
have companies that that monitor monitor and
the reason they caught their eyes because this

22
00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:00.480
one guy placed two large bets,
one right after the other on on on

23
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.400
LSU to win. Okay, Now, what they're saying is that the information

24
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:15.039
that this guy got was that Alabama
for this game was gonna have to scratch

25
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.039
its starting pitcher who was their ace, because of a bad back. And

26
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.120
it's not like the and the Major
League Baseball where an hour ahead of time

27
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.479
you give the light. You know, that was information that this guy got

28
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.879
that nobody else had and he made
these two large bets. Are you reading

29
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.879
this? Who's ESPN all? This
is? According to ESPN all this this

30
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.879
this just came out a little bit
ago. Uh that uh um, But

31
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.919
they have surveillance video that says that
somehow from the video they know that this

32
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.639
guy was talking to the Alabama baseball
coach, so he's been fired. Um

33
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:57.560
and uh, the game was they
were putting in a guy who hadn't pitched

34
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.319
since March. So your thing,
right, you bet on Alice? Here

35
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.800
he bet a whole bunch of money. Nobody they haven't given an amount.

36
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.840
They just called keep calling it a
large bet. And again, not even

37
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.759
that many people bet on college days. What was the outcome of that game?

38
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.960
Well, Alice, you won,
You're winning ten to ten to one.

39
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:16.520
Alabama made a little bit of a
rally but ended up still losing ten

40
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.439
to six or ten or something like
that. So the bet one. But

41
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.479
the reason again, the real caught
the risk because there's so little betting on

42
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.199
baseball. When somebody throws down some
large chunks of money and it's the same

43
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.360
guy, and he does it twice. Well and in fact you say that

44
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.400
with good points. Uh, this
FanDuel, they did ESPN and whoever did

45
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.479
the story. There was no bets
Frontanduel. There was no bets on some

46
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.199
of the other just here just there. He went in bed at at at

47
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:53.199
the sports book at the Reds Ballpark, right, right, right, So

48
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.319
at was the Great America Park or
whatever it's called, at the Great American

49
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.960
Ballpark. So they it was suspicious
just because this guy bet a bundle of

50
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.599
money on a college baseball game down
in Alabama. So they looked into it.

51
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:10.560
They've fired the coach, and look, this wasn't the first time.

52
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.319
Right, you don't catch him.
You don't ever catch him on the first

53
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.079
time in general, you know,
maybe you do, maybe you don't.

54
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.560
But just saying that he's busted,
he's fired. He'd been the coach since

55
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:29.240
twenty seventeen and he is out,
Well you know why you why why do

56
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.040
you risk here? I mean,
look, the odds on him, The

57
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.000
odds on a baseball game aren't gonna
be you know, big huge, right.

58
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.279
Plus you're playing LSU, who's really
damn good, number one in the

59
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.920
country, so you're betting that they're
gonna lose anyway, So what why you

60
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.480
You could be betting so much money
that you're gonna win a whole bunch of

61
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.920
money. So anyways, um,
all right, um uh. Milwaukee Bucks

62
00:04:53.920 --> 00:05:00.920
head coach Mike Budenholzer out after after
earning the number one seed in BA and

63
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.680
then getting then losing in the in
the uh in the first round. They

64
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.160
fired. Are there any other NBA
teams looking for a head coach? I'm

65
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.560
sure there are. There will be
the reason why he won't be without a

66
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:19.680
job at anytime soon. He won
a championship two years. He made my

67
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:27.040
book a time or two because I
think that uh, mister Brassie, U

68
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.759
Matt Brassie. A lot of people
are tied to you of a know him

69
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.399
and said that he was an influence
on their lives and blah blah blah.

70
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.959
It's really strange. But you're as
good as your last hair buy. He

71
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.319
won the championship two seasons and then
he was he had the best team in

72
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.240
the NBA for the regular season,
and you're gonna fire him? He as

73
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.439
good as your last haircut. Man. Yeah, by the way, you

74
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.000
need a haircut. I just got
a haircut, a better one. But

75
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.560
you know what I'm saying, what
have you done for me lately? Um?

76
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.000
I did see estat that says of
the past four NBA eight champions Okay,

77
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.279
so last year was the Golden State. It was Milwaukee. I think

78
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:09.079
it was that the Lakers and the
Celtics. So the last four NBA champions.

79
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.160
The only coach still coaching is the
other three have been fired. Yeah,

80
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.439
Buston's a gun from the fair affair? Who Lakers gone? Um?

81
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.560
What's the guy? I can't remember? Yeah, gun Lakers Guns gone?

82
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.279
Wow, unbelievable The way the league
is this just what have you done for

83
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.519
me? Hot? All right?
Um. On the recruiting side, Hunter

84
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.439
Dickinson, who was widely considered the
number one A player in the draft portal

85
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:45.000
uh leaving left Michigan, gone to
Kansas the rich get Richard Yeah, um,

86
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.600
he's he'll be a guy who'll make
an immediate impact. You'll probably make

87
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.240
a lot of money there and uh
and helped Kansas. Uh you know it

88
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.639
makes Kansas immediate favor to be uh
national and they were last year and they

89
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.720
were ye so um all right,
um, oh did you see? Okay,

90
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.759
there's a lot of again a lot
of get off my lawn guys.

91
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:12.800
Wander Franco shortstop with he catches the
ball, passes it up in the air,

92
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.399
catches it and then throws the guy
out of you. Never seen it.

93
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.360
I've never seen it. It was
cool but different, but people are

94
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.560
losing their minds over it. Again. The way the way people lose their

95
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:27.000
minds when somebody does something different or
so, so go, where are you

96
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.040
going with this? I just saw
the plane. I thought it was I

97
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.399
thought it was all right, But
I'm going. Where I'm going with this

98
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.000
is that people lose their minds over
everything. It was like, I did

99
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.720
you care? I thought it was
cool. I said, that's kind of

100
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.959
risky, because what if he twel
he creates an error, he drops the

101
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.920
ball. Now you're an idiot,
right, But he did cool. It

102
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.800
was kind of cool. I was
always afraid of being an infielder that my

103
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.439
ball wouldn't get to retire. I
didn't have the arm to be able to

104
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.120
do stuff like that anyway. So
it's just I just thought it was I

105
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.600
just thought it was. Anybody who's
complaining about stuff like that, you have

106
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.720
too much time in your hair,
all right? Um. The Colorado Athletic

107
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.439
director Rick George has come out defending
the Dion Sanders. Of course, he's

108
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.879
going to basically saying that you know, what's going on in Colorado happens all

109
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.399
the time. Well, yes,
and no coaches get rid of players,

110
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:26.000
but not to the extent that who
is it will contact him in four years

111
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.759
saying out, yeah, how'd it
go? Um, George says, we

112
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.680
are not the first to do this. Eighteen months ago, there was a

113
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.559
lot of criticism in our program because
guys were leaving around twenty four to twenty

114
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.279
five left in December, right after
the season. Similar things that happened at

115
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.679
other schools. We are not unique
in this. We know that in coaches

116
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.480
first year, you have a head
coach exemption, which is part of NC

117
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.600
Double A rules. Having a conversation
with student athletes after springball, Hey,

118
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.240
this may not work out, you
may not get the playtime you want.

119
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.759
We'll have you go somewhere else.
That's what those discussions were about. After

120
00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:00.200
everybody's season, coaches and student athletes
are having those conversations. Yeah, it's

121
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.240
a lot, but we are focused
on getting better. But it's one little

122
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.960
different though. There was this whole
matter of they were kicking guys out of

123
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.240
the program, but then they weren't
helping them find other places to go.

124
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.159
They weren't let him get their reversis
film ultimately reversed it, but for a

125
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.559
while they were saying, you know, it was it was consentious. Yeah,

126
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.120
sorry, you can't do that.
But they get out of here and

127
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.759
you can't have your film all right. Another one from what were these guys

128
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.840
thinking? Uh? Two USC journalists
journalism students who were covering the NFL draft,

129
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:37.399
a guy named Eric Lambkins the second
and Jude o'conys. Uh. They

130
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.519
were in Kansas City doing the draft
and they were, uh says for a

131
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.960
student run multi platform news outlet known
as Annenberg Media, which I recognize as

132
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:54.200
you know, getting UM credentials and
packed off tournaments whatnot. Apparently they got

133
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.799
busted, they were they were arrested
while boarding a plane back to LA in

134
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.399
the theft of more than a thousand
dollars worth of first round draft pick jerseys.

135
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.960
So I don't know if they thought
they were gonna steal these jerseys and

136
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.559
sell them out in the market or
whatever. But they have video surveillance that

137
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.960
show them around one twenty am entering
the areas connected to the NFL Draft where

138
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.960
they did not have access and they
were staying taking stuff. Uh. They

139
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.080
said they entered into the talent waiting
room with Lambkins holding a bag. They

140
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.519
stayed in the new five minutes before
leaving with the bag looking forward. So

141
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.720
talk about wrecking your career right before
you even start your career. That's way

142
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.600
too bad. All right, Um, that's kind of all I got.

143
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.879
There's a big game boomer out that
was kind of dumb. Yeah, well

144
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.759
that's kind of what Even though we
talked to him and he's guests on the

145
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.480
show, he comes up with dumb
stuff. But we even talked about coming

146
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.440
up with dumb stuff. He said, I do, I do. And

147
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.879
the thing of it is is he
got the Arizona part of this, all

148
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.639
right, Okay, So okay.
The twenty five best and worst college football

149
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.360
stadium nicknames. Okay, okay,
so you know Number one was Death Valley

150
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.279
at LSU. Number two the Swamp
of Florida. I've never heard of this

151
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.360
on Fort Snyder at Kansas State is
number three, The Big House in Michigan,

152
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.799
which I think should be number one
actually, but that's number four when

153
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.399
I'd never heard of, the Bounce
House at Central Florida. Then the Horseshoe

154
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:31.120
at Ohio Steak right. Worst nicknames
Clemson, Death Valley, Junior Kentucky,

155
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:37.120
the grocery Store um Central South Florida, the Pirate Ship because they play where

156
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.759
the Buccaneers play, Rutgers calls.
There's the Birthplace of college football Wisconsin calls

157
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.080
there's the camp because it's Camp Randall. Um, so then you're going down

158
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.399
those are the worst, top the
worst, top five worst, well down

159
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:56.759
on Among the best names down at
number twenty twenty is Arizona. He called

160
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.240
it the Old Pueblo. I'm like, dude, what to stay him?

161
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.279
Is not called the Old Pueblo.
The town is called the Old Pueblo.

162
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.000
The stadium is that? So Arizona
fans are understanding, it's not We're not

163
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.039
the stadium is not. So that's
on Twitter. Yeah, So did he

164
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:15.559
did he respond to the the Uh? Probably not. Let's see. Uh,

165
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.919
that would mean that he'd have the
whole list. Uh, well,

166
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.879
every everybody. You know, he's
a respond He's pretty much responded to everybody,

167
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.960
people saying that's not the nickname of
our you know, st stadium and

168
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.679
whatnot. Well he stopped after about
five or six of um, so he's

169
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.679
not responded to I haven't seen a
response to Arizona. But he just he

170
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.799
just got it wrong. I mean
that's what he and maybe he saw something

171
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.240
about the Old Peblo. But two
sons the Old Peblo. But the stadium

172
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.960
I've heard it called the old gray
lady, right, but not not never

173
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.080
the old Pueblo. Anyways, you're
getting old, dude. Today was funny

174
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.759
with you, He was me,
it's funny, you know what when you

175
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.000
told me because are you know your
age? And I kind of get it

176
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.279
wrong because I think you're younger than
what you really are. And I said,

177
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.120
I was joking, wait till seventy
sixty, and you said you was

178
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.440
gonna be sixty four. And I'm
thinking, holy crap, you're kind of

179
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.840
old, and which means I'm gonna
kind of old because I'm turning. I

180
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.480
turned old next week. But I'm
thinking we were young kids when we started

181
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.879
this. When we met, we
were I was twenty three years old.

182
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.279
Yeah, it's like, how how
did this happen? When you said sixty

183
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.279
four? I don't know why it
hit me, but it hit me in

184
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.919
a weird way that God, you're
old, but so am I. I

185
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.759
was twenty six years old when I
went to the started covering sports. That

186
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.080
years on the day we start three
and we met years a couple of years

187
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.480
later, three years later. That's
how long. You know? That's scary.

188
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.320
It's what's scary is now because what
we don't remember names and the guy

189
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:56.639
that guy. Well, there's a
reason you said sixty four said you're on

190
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.759
the way. I know, I
can, I can, I can start.

191
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.519
I can start getting so security right
now if I wanted to. I'm

192
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.039
holding off because you know, I
wanted to build up a little bar.

193
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.679
But um yeah, you know,
I'm so security age in another year.

194
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.480
It's sixty five. It's really kind
of like that's when you're supposed to other

195
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.360
people kind of push it out,
which I think is as long as I'm

196
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.720
doing. Okay, now, I'll
keep holding it off. I'm retiring and

197
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:26.639
tun on Tuesday. I'm passing away. I know I am. Oh God,

198
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.559
Okay. So that's that's enough of
that, Steve. Okay, so

199
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:35.320
we'll continue. Yeah, we have
a ravend Roman Compais from Rito Downs.

Oh do you you're gonna be you're not

205
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.279
gonna make it. You can't bet
the game. It's gonna be late.

It's like five forty six. They
go off late. It's specific time,

207
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.600

00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.319
the afternoon there. I mean they
will be I bet and let me say

299
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.200
you, Jay, I went to
the one I went to a couple.

300
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.720
I've gone to a couple. Uh
and it was during the Triple Crown of

301
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.319
Baffort and that rate. It was
bonkers crazy because everyone loves you know,

302
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.240
Bob and Blah blah blah and the
one with I think American Ferrell. But

303
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.880
it was you know, the hat
contests and the people just enjoying themselves.

304
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.559
So if you have a chance to
go, this should go. So you're

305
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.240
encouraging people to dress as if they
were coming to the Derby and Churchill Downs

306
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.400
and whatnot. Right, Yeah,
yeah, we're actually going to give prizes

307
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.880
for the best dress. We're the
best hat and the best bow tie.

308
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.119
Best hat. I believe this for
the ladies, best bow ties for the

309
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:44.559
gentlemen. I was gonna wear a
hat too, so so you're gonna be

310
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:49.440
able to sig bet simulcast from other
places as well, or just just Churchill,

311
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.440
you know, as as far as
they know, it's just going to

312
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.119
be from from the from the Derby. But I'm not sure if they're we're

313
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.119
going to have other other well,
I'm assuming I'm assuming we will. UM,

314
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.200
that's just kind of a thing that
we always have. But there'll also

315
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.000
be a raffle prizes and we'll be
selling tickets. That will be selling tickets

316
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.039
for UM. It's gonna be a
fifty fifty and some other raffles as well

317
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.640
gift shop items. What are some
of the raffle prizes UM, I don't

318
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.559
have a list of the raffle prizes
as of yet. Our fifty fifty raffle

319
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.039
UM during our season got up to
I think seven hundred and twenty bucks on

320
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.880
the very last thing, so that's
it's it's an exciting time. We always

321
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:37.920
have great stuff, lots of generous
sponsors and donors that didn't generate great things

322
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.680
to UM for us to raffle off, so don't be surprised. We have

323
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.799
some great so so you can't win, I know you dress Guapo Roman.

324
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.200
Um, you know you're not allowed
to win if you probably were the boat

325
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:55.000
tie two. Um, so it's
gonna be crazy. You'll have the reserve

326
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.559
seats, right, what about those
to purchase? Well, you know this,

327
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.319
it's all gonna be open seating.
So um. The table that usually

328
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.759
said that we stayed with me as
Steve is will be open. Um,

329
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.799
all the different tables. But it's
gonna be some. It's gonna be the

330
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.319
best place to be is the place
where your years the end, which is

331
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.319
right by the bar. And it's
right you know why because casinos. I

332
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.680
don't drink, but but there's a
lot of tea there's you were with me.

333
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:30.920
I sat there, I sat there
with I didn't realize I was too

334
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.880
perfect. Yeah, I didn't realize
I was sitting in the guy with the

335
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.200
reputation like that. But so,
uh, you're you're you're you remember the

336
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.680
Rito Park Foundation. So how much
are you into the horse racing in terms

337
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.640
of as a as a horse racing
batter, handicapper? You know, can

338
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.559
you give us a few things of
what you think about the race coming up

339
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.640
on Saturday? Well, you know, I I love horse racing. I

340
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.960
love to see and the feel of
it. But you know, more than

341
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.960
anything, I love the tuc sound
feel. I love the feel that we

342
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.920
still have something but we're not you
know, like all the other different things

343
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.559
that have left to song. This
is something that we still have and have

344
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.240
had just before I was born.
Yeah, so that's really what what I'm

345
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.200
all about. But as far as
the Kentucky Derby itself, I don't have

346
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.160
any favorites. Typically I kind of
nudge one of the other board members and

347
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.839
kind of, you know, ask
them, hey, what what should I

348
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.240
bet on? Who do you guys
and get a couple of other guys no

349
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.039
opinions as well. Is more of
a mover and shaker. He's out shaking

350
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.519
hands. You know. It took
the Huney Brothers, the Honey Brothers on

351
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.559
the final day and he hadn't really
met him, so he kind of introduced

352
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.440
them to everybody. So hit a
good time, right, Yeah, absolutely,

353
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.200
Well that's the best part for me. Yeah. Well, it's great

354
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:47.240
that you guys what you guys have
been able to do. You know,

355
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:51.400
we had Mike on all, you
know, all during the season and stuff,

356
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.799
but you know, just it sounds
like there's you know, a lot

357
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.519
of excitement out there, and I
guess when you do stuff like this too,

358
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.839
right, I mean it's partly generate
some excitement, get some people to

359
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.240
come out, see the place,
take part and just see how much fun

360
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.480
this can be. Absolutely spot on. So so how many people can you

361
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.759
accommodate up at the top? Typically
for race day there's five thousand and five

362
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.759
and a half, but up there
might be about two. Maybe I think

363
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:21.079
we can fit a good three.
Okay, so it should be past.

364
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.000
Like I said, people who are
betting on this thing, they go crazy

365
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.119
because they think, you know,
they have the winner. Yeah, no,

366
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.000
it's it's fun, I mean.
And look, I mean it's not

367
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.480
only been recently been able to bet
on the derby right here. It's kind

368
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.440
true without having to go to like
a place, right so it's it's been

369
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.000
a lot of fun. So what
what you know, what are your thoughts

370
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.039
going forward? You guys again,
had had a great season. What are

371
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.079
some of the things that you as
a board member, uh want to see

372
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.400
you know happen at Rito downs Rito
part you know, maybe you know the

373
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.640
coming year, coming years, what's
on your plate? Well, you know,

374
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.559
and we've always wanted the Friday night
racing. We've always wanted that to

375
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.359
be a thing. These are just
things I'm throwing out just as as a

376
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:11.119
board member with high hopes and ambitions. But that in addition to having like

377
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.279
maybe a little bit more of business
presence out there. I'm big on Tusum

378
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:22.920
business, local businesses kind of showcasing
their stuffy They have advertising out there right

379
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.920
now, but I would like to
see maybe maybe some table set up something

380
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.079
of that effect. So you're talking, that's interesting. I hadn't heard the

381
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.119
night racing. Obviously, you're there
at the at the soccer fields. How

382
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.440
would that accommodate? Would you have
to put in lights that would allow for

383
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.640
racing at night? Based on what
I've heard so far, we would actually

384
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.799
turn those those lights turn three sixty, so we would turn them the other

385
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.599
directions. Okay, that's possible.
Then that'd be nice, absolutely so,

386
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.640
and just kind of throw that out
there if you see any of my other

387
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.920
fellow board members. It would be
something to do on a Friday night for

388
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:06.200
sure. How I know this is
kind of an off the wall question,

389
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.839
but have there been any thoughts of
you know, setting up other stuff a

390
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:14.519
sports book, a casino. I
mean that would you require some long term

391
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.440
stuff, but anything like that that
could happen here or is it just because

392
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.440
it would have to be on a
reservation. I don't know the ins and

393
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.480
outs of that, but I know
that with the you know, the whole

394
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.960
twenty twenty one sports book, you
know, the the laws being changed.

395
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.160
Actually it was a law that expired
in twenty twenty one which allowed sports book

396
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.519
to come out and all these other
different things. You know, there are

397
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.599
a lot of different possibilities. I
know, I don't know exactly what they

398
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.400
are right now, but I would
love to see some kind of other we

399
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.319
we have had the casino nights at
the at the tracks. However, therefore

400
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:56.720
more for like those kind of those
sponsor excusing those fundraising events that you go

401
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.599
to at other places. It would
be kind of like the same thing,

402
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.440
but just at the track, which
is which makes it a pretty unique feel.

403
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.480
Yeah, so that's not gonna happen
that Friday, right or tomorrow.

404
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.960
I should say, oh no,
no, we we're just gonna have just

405
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.200
a derby and we're gonna have a
good time on on Saturday, and we're

406
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.799
gonna we're gonna crank out a few
people when they have a really good time

407
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.480
and see some cool hands and some
cool both ties bands or anything like that.

408
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.720
It's probably just gonna be horse racing, dressing up, having a good

409
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.079
time. Yeah, absolutely, that's
it makes her a cool Saturday right,

410
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.799
No, great? Great? Okay, Romont, thank you very much.

411
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.960
Thank you appreciate it. Man,
have a good time tomorrow time, yes,

412
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.119
thanks, gentlemen. Okay, well
not tomorrow, Jay, Saturday,

413
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.880
Saturday, Saturday, not tomorrow.
Yeah, it's weird. It's all day

414
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.039
to day. I've been thinking about
it being right. So that's why when

415
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.000
I came here. Are we supposed
today's Thursday? Right? I was supposed

416
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.200
to get wings and I didn't get
it. Let me down. I went

417
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.039
for the kids over here. You
don't, yeah, I don't. I'm

418
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:00.079
watching your diet, thank you?
Watching You're done? Yeah, thank you.

419
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.599
I I don't need anybody. Why
don't look at my diet? It's

420
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.400
not every day is a cheat day
apparently because I know I'm cheating too,

421
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.440
I might done. The doctor doesn't
like it. Oh god, all right,

422
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.599
um, well it should be fun. The derby is always fun.

423
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.279
So you know, I was told
I was going to be at the arena.

424
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:19.920
I was about four o'clock. Yeah, what I would do for you,

425
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:22.559
Well, you know what I wouldn't. It's so tough for you because

426
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.559
what time you have to be there? Four o'clock. Oh yeah, so

427
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:29.359
that's kind of well. I don't
know why I got this because it's seven

428
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:30.519
o'clock over there, you know,
in the time chains. I'm thinking,

429
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.839
well, why did I miss that
time up? But you know it's four

430
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.000
o'clock here Eastern's about six fifty eight
ye seventy yeah, so no, and

431
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.440
I like I forgot about the time. I've got to get their head of

432
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:47.240
the game right. So, and
I do recall seeing the seeing the derby,

433
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:52.000
seeing the race. Yeah, um
on my iPad at the arena.

434
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.759
What I'll do again? The one
thing that I would suggest if you wanted

435
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.880
to bet the race, well you
have TVG you have TV Jo's and say,

436
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.400
if you go to the track,
bet it. But I wouldn't know

437
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.200
how you would catch it. Right
now, I can do it on TVGYA.

438
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:11.480
My wife doesn't know I have that
account. Yeah now, I hope

439
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.559
she's not listening, but i'd just
like you today I did not have to

440
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.880
stop it. She I had.
I had a turkey sandwich at home before

441
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:25.759
I came over here, and I've
got an over here to keep to keep

442
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.319
me from dry. Hey, okay, so who do you got tonight tonight?

443
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.880
Oh? So I went with the
three teamer I don't say it's a

444
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.799
two foot put yesterday and I went. So I had to sell tics because

445
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.839
I thought I went with all the
teams that had to win, right so

446
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:47.359
Boston, but not Golden State State
like two and a half. It was

447
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:49.759
three chalks pretty much, So Golden
State tonight because I think they have to

448
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:55.839
win. And then tomorrow the Sun's
tomorrow. The sun is gonna be my

449
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.359
worst bet. I may have to
do something. Oh god, I mean

450
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.200
you can't. I can't be banned
from doing stuff, well, not my

451
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:08.279
stuff. Don't put your peanut butter
in my chocolate. I'm not sure like

452
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:13.039
how that sounded. Just don't do
it, because no, you only have

453
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.160
two games to do this pretty much? What's the third? Actually, the

454
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:20.599
Celtics and the Sixers play tomorrow according
to the draft Kings. Yeah, I

455
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.519
wouldn't touch that one, all right
me? So so right now a minus

456
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:30.640
two eighty on the Warriors and minus
one seventy five on the Suns. That's

457
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.400
your plus one thirteen. Yeah,
that's even money. Is it worth it?

458
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:38.640
Don't do it, don't do it. Don't mess me up. What's

459
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:42.119
it with the Suns? It's only
a four point spread. Maybe I'll take

460
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.599
the well, you know one today, I was watching all the shows before

461
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.039
I came here. Everyone's picking the
Lakers because of what they did in the

462
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:53.839
first game. And I'm thinking,
come on, really, uh had had

463
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.519
a great games that ain't gonna happen
again. It might happen down the road,

464
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:00.720
but it didn't happen tonight. Gonna
you know what? Okay, so

465
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.039
that I'm not taking money line said
the same thing as you. Maybe I'll

466
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.480
take the lines on both of those. I think I think the Warriors will

467
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.839
cover tonight. I don't know about
the Suns because I there. If you

468
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.920
without Chris Paul, but so be
at home. I think that'll help them,

469
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:17.680
at least for one game. Yeah, they're gonna play with some desperation.

470
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.279
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. We'll see. Maybe I'm not

471
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.519
doing anything, honey. In case
you're watching, you're listening, All right,

472

gonna come back. We'd love to

that's been going on. You know,

474
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:37.400

Arizona football should be doing with Jaden Delora,

475
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.440
if you're happy, you're unhappy with
the Jade Bradley thing coming to play

476
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:47.440
basketball at Arizona having been I use
the word involved loosely on the the the

477
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:53.759
tragedy that happened over there in Tuscaloosa, uh and anything else that's been going

478
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:59.799
on. Should your college baseball coach
be giving gambling tips to his bookie or

479
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:04.480
who whever? That's very bizarre,
I mean really bizarre. All right,

your calls on out of that after the

years now. Take a look back at

483
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.559
the Ludolson era. In my new
book, Lessons from Loot. It was

484
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.519
a labor of love through the eyes
of twenty five former players, coaches,

485
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.920
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them,

486
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.000
competed against them, and inspired them
twenty five chapters for his twenty five years

487
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.280
as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from
Loot is an insight to how he built

488
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:35.119
the program into a national powerhouse.

sound sugar skulls head coach. Uh

538
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:15.840
home game. They've got a home
game this Saturday. It's against the Northerners

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:29.079
I'll tell you what. Um.
After the game, hurt Us was so

542
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.599
upbeat still. It was kind of
like this happens, you know. I

543
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:36.840
mean it was a terrible loss because
you know, they got beat basically got

544
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.880
beat on a hail Mary. If
they knocked on a hail Mary, they

545
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.760
win the game. And they're four
and oh and feeling good about themselves.

546
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.920
But he's kind of like, we
lost, we got a week off,

547
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.320
we got to gather ourselves and we'll
be back and so um, we'll see.

00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:50.719
We'll see what they've been doing in
the last week and a half.

549
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:52.880
There's always in a in an off
week, there's some you know, some

550
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.880
changeover in personnel s if he's made
any changes there. But we'll talk to

551
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:02.280
Hurt his chin about Saturday, his
game against Northern Arizona. It's developing into

552
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:07.159
another pretty good rivalry for the Sugar
Sculls. And then we'll have Jake Fisher.

553
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.559
Well, I loved you. I'm
looking forward to getting Jake, Jake's

554
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:14.559
take on all this stuff that's gone
on this week, Jane Delora, h

555
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.159
Jane Bradley, all this stuff,
and he's usually mister positive but mister realistic

556
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.159
positive. This will be very interesting. I'm gonna have to hear this.

557
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:25.360
Yeah, I mean, he's been
on social media very happy that Arizona has

558
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:32.320
gotten Bradley. There's been no uh
no comment about you know, his uh

559
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:37.800
being tied to that situation, back
to the to the shooting in uh in

560
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.280
Tuscaloosa. But I really wanted to
hear got to say about Jake Henley play

561
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:47.960
Alabama next year. That's right,
Phoenix's right, Phoenix, Yeah, I

562
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:53.440
think that. I think that Tommy
has some more players upcoming, right,

563
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:58.119
maybe another player or two um that
I think there was at of fans.

564
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.719
I don't know who they are,
but he'll be fine. Nil. Or

565
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:05.800
if you didn't listen to our Nil
show yesterday, it was in the first

566
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:07.639
hour, late the first hour,
Yeah, the first segment of the first

567
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:12.559
time. I think you'll enjoy it
if you're still having any reservations to help

568
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:16.199
you listen to the show. About
the last twenty minutes or fifteen minutes of

569
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:21.280
the first segment of hour one,
we had Adam Lazarus, so not a

570
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:23.920
just sort of an We reached out
to him and said, give us a

571
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:27.679
call because we have some things we
want to clarify. And I think that

572
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.880
segment did clarify a whole bunch of
stuff. I feel like I better understand.

573
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.599
Okay, what if you're going to
give money for NIL to kind of

574
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:40.599
know where you should where you can
do the most right right. Any questions,

575
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:44.119
he said, just give him an
email, send him an email,

576
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.599
or send him or just go to
the website or the website. Yeah,

577
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:52.639
there's ways to contact. This is
Arizona Assist, which is a it's an

578
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:59.320
entity that helps men's basketball friends of
Wilbur and Wilma hops all the program.

579
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.880
But you know, if you want
to donate money in there and it goes

580
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:06.400
to get spread around quite a bit. More of an Arizona it says it

581
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.480
was done specifically to support uh Man's
pass and Arizona is indefinite need of that

582
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:14.599
to help sustain what they already have. Yeah. You know, um,

583
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:19.039
there were a lot of people who
thought, um, this guy a Hunter

584
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:23.400
Dickinson who ended up in Kansas was
going to Kentucky and then so it's always

585
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:27.039
going to just be in the back
of people's minds or maybe in the front

586
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:30.559
of people's minds. Was it money, wasn't money? Yeah, well we

587
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:35.039
talked about that Today's winds to their
Thursday. I think it was Tuesday that

588
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:38.559
I saw something that was read through
a Kentucky source or a reradio or whatever

589
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:42.920
saying that it didn't look like they're
going to get them because they don't have

590
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.119
enough. Can I eil money?
Yeah exactly, This is Kentucky. Yeah,

591
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:52.559
and it's Kentucky. Yeah. I
high are on the air and on

592
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:58.719
the ball. I'm here. Steve
will be happy to steer to show back

593
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:02.320
onto the lead, the Kentucky Derby, the Kentucky Derby. You know,

594
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.639
you're you're the horse that has come
out out of the gate at half the

595
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.159
halfway point. Looks pretty good.
You're around the turn and Howard's dying fading

596
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:16.039
fast. But you know what,
I love the pageant tree. I used

597
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:19.719
too, I should say, I'm
gonna tell you why I hate it now,

598
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.920
the pageant tree and the whole thing
and the Preakness. They're gonna keep

599
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:28.360
going. I took my little ger
girl when she was like five, she's

600
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:32.960
twenty almost twenty eight now, and
I hated it three years ago when they

601
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.079
got in the rain the first time
ever they took it away from a guy

602
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:45.199
that won the horse and so controversial. Remember yeah, yeah, it was

603
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:52.159
Bob's Oh I'm they lost me.
That's that was Bs that call so and

604
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.480
not never watching it again. But
you guys look at it from the betting

605
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:58.960
standpoint, Yeah you know, but
you don't really care about the race.

606
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.800
You just care about who bets.
So go Howard. God comes down the

607
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:08.679
stretch, Go Howard God. And
what about those phoenix suns? Well,

608
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.159
okay, well they well here's what
they should have done. Now that they're

609
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:17.440
little defragile man, the strong man
Chris Paul. They should have freaking done

610
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:22.199
it. There was a litter called
the Outsider Squad. You knew that is,

611
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.880
I don't know if that's the exact
name. The Outsider Squad should have

612
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:30.000
played in the first two games.
They wouldn't lust because they their warts.

613
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:36.559
They had their defensive liabilities. But
guess what their their TJ. Warren the

614
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:40.880
more buckets joke. Skies can get
hot as a rock, remember Vinnie Johnson

615
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:46.679
the microwave back in the day,
and of course, um the habachi people

616
00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:51.239
that heat up and they can,
and so they're gonna be playing tomorrow.

617
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:53.239
So I know, people tend to
panic, you know. I mean,

618
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:57.360
look, Denver is supposed to win
the first two games at home, and

619
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.719
they did, so you know,
now the sun good, I mean,

620
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:02.519
yeah, really good too. Yeah, So I mean there's is there any

621
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:07.000
panic in your mind right now?
Well? No, Now, Monty's got

622
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:13.840
to play those other two guys,
and he didn't play them because their defensive

623
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:17.559
liabilities, and that's bs. But
we need to score. He gets the

624
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.039
bottom line. And they can outscore
more than game points than they give up,

625
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.199
I think. And now they're gonna
we're gonna see right, Yeah,

626
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:30.119
I remember t J. Warren,
Terence Ross. I think they're gonna win

627
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:32.360
tomorrow. Um, they're gonna win
the next two games. They have to

628
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:36.960
if they lose one of them to
get their toast. We all know that

629
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:49.639
their toast. Yeah, okay,
yeah, that's go Howard go all right,

630
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:57.079
guys down the stretching. Wait,
Howard broke a leg on the stretch.

631
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:04.960
Such an emotional guy. Yeah.
I think they're gonna be finding tomorrow.

632
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:07.320
But after that, I do not
know. But he's right. I

633
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.559
mean, come on, we talked
about we liked or you liked or whomever

634
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:15.079
likes sons if if Durant didn't get
hurt, no one talked about the guard

635
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:22.920
always gets hurt, right right,
I don't know. I mean, I

636
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:27.559
let let me just say I from
the get go, though didn't see why.

637
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:30.480
I get they've got Kevin Durant.
I just still didn't see them as

638
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:34.920
the favorite to win the West.
Why Vegas had them as a fait because

639
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:38.039
I think you can assume that everything's
gonna go okay, I mean healthwise and

640
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:40.679
all the stuff, but you can
really never assume that, right, And

641
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.079
I know all those guys who you
know, the the books and stuff are

642
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.760
all way smarter than me. But
I didn't. I just didn't see it.

643
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.000
I didn't and I still don't.
I mean, especially after seeing you

644
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.519
know, Denver play, you know, the last couple of the last couple

645
00:45:55.559 --> 00:46:00.480
of games. I've been watching the
sons of the Denver to me right now,

646
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:02.719
and I said that James and James, Jason and I were having this

647
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:07.239
conversation, you know, during we
we talked NBA like the whole last thing.

648
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:09.639
Oh yes, yes, And I
just said, I think I think

649
00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:13.920
the Nuggets are the favorite to win
this thing. That's why I picked them,

650
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:16.119
only because they looked like the best
team. They underwent under rate,

651
00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:20.719
under regarded, or they were under
the radar, under dar They had the

652
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.239
best team, best record in the
league, in the West. I mean,

653
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:25.840
how could you not. And now
they have Murray back who hadn't been

654
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:29.599
there last two years. So that's
why I really liked them, and that's

655
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:31.920
why I bet him. I mean
them and the Warriors. So yeah,

656
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:37.119
they just oo. Dan Walkin just
tweeted this out, Dan, Yeah.

657
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:44.960
Sure. The share volume of athletic
department scandals attached to Greg BYRNS yep,

658
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:51.519
at both Arizona and now Alabama is
breathtaking. Is that him? No,

659
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:55.119
that's just a tweet tweet that he
sent out. He sent that earlier today,

660
00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:58.920
but it just got retweets. He's
not wrong, top of my thing.

661
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:14.039
He's not wrong. Mayn Yeah,
I mean, yeah, that's Hi.

662
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:20.719
You're on the air and on the
ball. Hello. Hello, it's

663
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:25.199
the ghost from calls past. Call
maybe I did. Oh, okay,

664
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:28.119
if you if you were trying to
call, give us a quick call.

665
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:32.480
I mean, there's a as as
much as you hate to say it,

666
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:35.599
and part of it, part of
it, you know, I got to

667
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.519
know Greg little personally because his kids
went to my kids, his kids back

668
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:43.679
and here at work, yeah,
at games and stuff. But um,

669
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:47.280
I just don't know. Maybe it's
just that he doesn't pay enough attention or

670
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.559
things things start to happen and instead
of addressing him, they just kind of

671
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.679
so, you know, sometimes you
think I'll go away if I just don't

672
00:47:55.719 --> 00:48:00.599
do anything. I don't know.
I don't know. But that's that's a

673
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:06.079
really good point. It's a point
point higher on the air and on the

674
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:08.880
ball. Oh, this is Dave. I was wanting to talk about the

675
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:14.960
Dolora. Yea, yeah, Dave, tell us what you think. I

676
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:19.719
think it's five years ago. He
got he did his time, and now

677
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.800
they're like trying to throw him under
the bus again. Yeah, there's there's

678
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.320
that point. There's that point,
and absolutely you can't deny that point,

679
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:29.199
you know. And and the thing
of it is, if there hadn't been

680
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:32.280
a lawsuit, right this, this
wouldn't be an issue right now. But

681
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:36.360
the fact that there was means it
got out in the public and now we're

682
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.280
talking about it. So there's and
that's what I think Steve and I were

683
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:43.400
saying. I don't know if you
agree. There's so many different places that

684
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:47.280
you can land with this, right, Yeah. Are you a regular?

685
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:52.679
Are you a regular as ticket holders
for football? Yeah? So I'm assuming

686
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:55.199
that you'll go and you'll have no
problem cheering for him and things like that,

687
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.719
exactly. Yeah, And both sides, both sides neither are wrong,

688
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:05.800
right, And that's that's it,
And it's just you just the question is

689
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:08.000
where's that's gonna end up? What
you know is there's gonna be something happened

690
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:12.079
or not. You know, as
we said Wisconsin, is this ue a

691
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.800
statement? They said, he's on
our team. This happened before he got

692
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:19.119
here, and that's it. So
I can see if it had happened here,

693
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.440
and it happened like you said yesterday, right, yeah, suspend him

694
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.079
if he did it, kick him
off the team. But yeah, five

695
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.079
years ago, he was a teenager. The stuff I'm sure was field.

696
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.360
So that's why you were very Wisconsin
whoever didn't know? Right, Yeah?

697
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:36.199
Right, Well, Dave, thanks
about that. That's a that's I mean,

698
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:37.199
that's a good take. That's a
very good take. Yeah, thank

699
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.559
you, Dave, thanks for calling. Thanks a much, keep listening.

700
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:43.519
Well, appreciate our callers. Guys, anybody want to call. We have

701
00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:47.480
about three and I mean, Dave's
gotta he's got James's points career because because

702
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:51.920
my, my, my situate,
my scenario where if this happened today,

703
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.239
yes he'd be suspended and probably kicked
off. But it didn't happen today,

704
00:49:54.280 --> 00:50:00.679
it happened five years ago. Whatever
whatever consequences there were to him from a

705
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:06.639
from a criminal standpoint have been dealt
with, right, They've been done.

706
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:10.000
So I don't know, I don't
know, I don't I don't know where

707
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:13.719
to land on this, And yeah, I think we gotta wait and see,

708
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.360
yeah, and then we'll have an
opinion. Was that the right thing

709
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:23.599
or the wrong thing? I you
know, I just know that it's it's

710
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:29.400
it's just way too bad for everybody
involved, that that a that it happened,

711
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:31.639
be that we have to talk about
it five years later. And then

712
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:35.639
it becomes you know that these things, um, they get out in the

713
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:42.800
public and you have this why gap
or widespread of opinions as to what happened.

714
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:46.840
Right, It's a tough tough call, um, But but okay,

715
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:51.320
so he keeps part of this now
And what did you just read about the

716
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:55.760
tweet from walking? I mean if
he accumulate right, right? Yeah,

717
00:50:55.800 --> 00:51:00.199
exactly? You know things, you
know, things do accumulate. And you

718
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.000
know, I mean Dan Wilkin,
who you know USA Today writer for those

719
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:05.599
of you who don't know somebody that
he's been on our show. Steve and

720
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:07.280
I both both know him. I
made him and talked to him at the

721
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:13.039
at the West Regional a few weeks
ago. Um. You know, when

722
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:17.320
national guys are calling your name on
stuff like that, it's out there and

723
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:21.440
it's out there to stay. And
uh, you know there's more stuff like

724
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:23.480
that happens at Alabama. I mean
again, you know he brings you know,

725
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:28.119
his name comes out because of this
this gambling thing with the baseball team

726
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:32.480
of all of all places, baseball, college baseball involved in in a gambling

727
00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:37.000
in a gambling scandal. I mean, what the hell are you supposed to

728
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.079
do? You know, what the
hell are you supposed to do? From

729
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:45.079
a conversation that that may have timing
of it was whatever, But why is

730
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.480
he talking to him in the first
place? Yeah, right, exactly.

731
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:51.039
I mean he called this guy and
said, hey, you go make some

732
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:53.199
bets for me. You remember,
you remember back in the day, and

733
00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:55.000
I don't even know how long ago, I know, we only have a

734
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:58.719
minute. When you're in Vegas,
you're at the sports book and they didn't

735
00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:02.599
allow phones, right, they didn't
things, no electronic devices. Now everybody

736
00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:07.960
has a phone and those things have
gone are gone now and for probably this

737
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:10.320
reason. Well yeah, but you
know, but you can. I mean,

738
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:13.559
you go to sportsbook now, you
