00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:08.800
It's time for coffee and Company,
fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:20.679
Now, here's Nick coffee. All
right, we're gonna get right to

3
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.760
it. Scottie Scheffler just had us
press conference just moments ago, and a

4
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.920
courtesy of our news team news Radio
eight forty WHS, we have a handful

5
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.679

you guys. But I do want to

let you know that if you didn't

00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.880
live on the iHeartRadio app Listen live
at seven ninety Louisville dot com. And

10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.280
we will get back to the phone
lines and let you guys once again react

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.439
to the piece. You know,
this is a big piece of news man

12
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:56.320
and not just locally but nationally,
and it still doesn't seem real. The

13
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.240
number one golfer in the world,
who you know, was the lead or

14
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.120
after yesterday's first first day of the
PGA Championship at Valhalla, was arrested with

15
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.719
numerous charges, one being a felony, second degree felony for assault on a

16
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.640
police officer and taken to jail,
immediately released and then came back and made

17
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.239
it in time to uh to get
right back at it. I mean,

18
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.040
it's just again you say that loud. It doesn't seem real, but it

19
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.920
is real. And uh, here
is what he had to say about you

20
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.599
know, why he you know,
didn't tell the police who he was.

21
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.560
And I guess just the you know, not all. I mean, there's

22
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.760
not a whole lot of details here
as far as what led to it,

23
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.239
but I guess this is more so
what we saw from the video that was

24
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.159
that was put up this morning from
the reporter that was on side, Jeff

25
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.280
Darlington. You know, let's just
let you hear it. When when they

26
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.760
got me out of the car,
I you know, I uh, like

27
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.120
I said, it was very chaotic
and you know, I said, I'm

28
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.319
sorry, I'm just trying to get
to my tea time. And outside of

29
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.000
that, it was then it just
things you know, escalated from there.

30
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.519
I did, you know, numerous
apologies and whatever, but like I said,

31
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.640
it was it was chaotic. It's
dark, it's raining, you know,

32
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.080
there's a lot of stuff going on. They just had an accident.

33
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.400
I didn't know what had happened at
the time other than there was an accident.

34
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.800
I didn't know that it was it
was fatal, and yeah, like

35
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.520
I said, my heart goes out
to the family. But no, at

36
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.560
no point did I did. I
tried to name drop myself to diffuse the

37
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.319
situation. I just tried to remain
as calm as possible, and you know,

38
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.280
just fall instructions. I'm never somebody
that would have the ability to name

39
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.560
drop myself to maybe get me out
of a jam. But even if I

40
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.840
did, I can't imagine that I
would have, you know. I just

41
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.120
that to me is so cringe,
and I think he knows that too.

42
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.879
But this is one of those instances
where I do think if you would have

43
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.000
cleverly and not you know, in
a I mean, maybe somehow let them

44
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.560
know who you are, but don't
do it in a manner of like,

45
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.960
do you know who the hell I
am? You're making a big mists.

46
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.159
You're gonna regret this, buddy.
If you could do it kindly, they

47
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.759
probably still take offense that they that
you appear to be under the impression that

48
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.919
that's going to help your situation and
change the fact that you did something in

49
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.919
their mind that is a serious crime. But man, I feel like had

50
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:23.360
they known, you know, who
he was, it wasn't it was.

51
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.319
I don't think they would have thought, well, okay, that changes everything,

52
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.039
let me let me apologize. But
it might have it might have hit

53
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.120
pause on the situation for a moment
to where you would just reflect on Okay,

54
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.520
let's think about this, let's discuss
and see if we need, if

55
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.599
this needs to be escalated to the
point that it ended up getting where he

56
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.000
ended up getting arrested and going to
jail, because it's a bad look.

57
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.280
Now again, maybe you we'll find
out some details that we don't know.

58
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.360
Maybe they'll be body cam footage that
makes it look as if Scotti Scheffler was

59
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.560
just trying to be a trying to
be an a hole. But then again,

60
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.039
like even the officers never claimed he
told them. I mean they asked,

61
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.120
Jeff Darlington, can you tell us
who we've arrested? So again,

62
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.599
it's good to hear something from Scheffler, and there's a couple of you know,

63
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.560
we've got more clips. We're gonna
play he in just a moment.

64
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:19.240
But what I keep coming back to
is that from the people that are describing

65
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.439
it. I mean, Scheffler kind
of described after the fact there. But

66
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.639
again, we'll hear more. And
I'm hearing some of this for the first

67
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.439
time too, by the way,
and then the police report and then Jeff

68
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.519
Darlington's report, in Jeff Darling's video, all of that together, it is

69
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.160
all kind of the same story.
There's not somebody sharing a completely different side

70
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.319
than the other. But it still
makes you wonder how we got to that

71
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.360
point, Like, how did it
escalate to that to where he's going to

72
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.120
jail. There's no way there's I
mean, there's not even a conversation to

73
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.439
be had, don't matter who he
is, no matter if he's the president.

74
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.439
And even even through that first clip
you just played, I think you

75
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.279
were dead right in the first hour, he seems very calm, cool and

76
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.480
collected about this entire thing. It's
not defensive at all. It's almost like

77
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.959
he kind of understands maybe that what
he did was something he's not allowed to

78
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:08.680
do legally, but it was it
was all due to a misunderstanding. But

79
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.959
also I just again, everybody's different, everybody reacts to things differently. He

80
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.399
did highlight the fact that it was
dark, it was rainy, it was

81
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.600
chaotic, which is which in that
moment, you're not thinking that clearly,

82
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.160
right, Like it's it's you know, hell, some people just driving in

83
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.480
the rain when it's dark outside will
put them in a panic attack. So

84
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:29.839
like it is a very highly you
know, hectic situation. But if somebody

85
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.120
has attached themselves to my car and
I know that this person is either law

86
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.879
enforcement or somebody that is working traffic, I just can't process how you just

87
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.240
decide to drive for fifteen to twenty
yards. That doesn't make any sense to

88
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.439
me. All right, here is
here's what he had to say, and

89
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.639
there's some of his you know,
he talks about after, you know,

90
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.720
talk talk a little bit of golf, which we will let you guys hear

91
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.279
that as well. But here is, you know, how he described what

92
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.600
was going through his head as he
was being booked, I assume for the

93
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.839
first time as a criminal and being
charged with multiple charges, including a felony.

94
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.920
I didn't really know. I was
just so confused at what was happening

95
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.279
at the time that, you know, I didn't know what time it was,

96
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.839
I didn't know what was going on. But when I was sitting in

97
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.839
like the holding cell or whatever I
was. There was a TV there and

98
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.040
I could see myself on the TV
on ESPN and it was Get Up was

99
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.639
on and so in the corner it
showed the time and they said they were

100
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.600
delayed, and I was kind of
thinking about my tea tong. I was

101
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.079
like, well, maybe you know, I could be able to get out.

102
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.160
You know, the officers downstairs and
you know, they were discussing how

103
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.279
long it was going to take me
to get released. You know, obviously

104
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.279
you have to go through all the
due process and everything, and you know,

105
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.480
I was able to kind of see
a bit of the TV, and

106
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.519
you know, then I laid down
and then I started to stretch a little

107
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.199
bit, once I got my heart
rate down a little bit. I don't

108
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.279
know Scotti Scheffler at all. Like
I know he's a phenomenal golfer, but

109
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.399
I don't and I know the reputation
that he has is kind of a very

110
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.720
very clean cut not you know,
very I want to call him like a

111
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.199
dork, but like, you know, he's not somebody that you would ever

112
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.439
expect to be potentially getting arrested.
Like those who follow golf really closely.

113
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.439
A few people that I know personally, you know, said, if you'd

114
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.439
asked me which golfer could potentially have
been in this situation this morning, he

115
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.000
would have They would have There would
have never been a scenario where any of

116
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.879
them would have He'd have been the
last guy you would have expected. I'm

117
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.319
not really sure he would have expected, but nonetheless, like it's just it's

118
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.079
it's a big surprise, but you
know, he's he's not blaming law enforcement.

119
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.839
And I kind of expected, regardless
of what I already know about his

120
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.279
reputation, that he would be very
defensive, but his calmness and just kind

121
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.839
of whatever about it almost makes it
seem even more so that it just didn't

122
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.839
need to get there, right,
Like, I don't know, I'm sure

123
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.439
we'll never hear from, you know, the actual officer that that was that

124
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:44.720
was involved, but body cam footage
it probably won't lead to any charges being

125
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.879
dismissed because again, nobody's disputing what
is in the report and in what you

126
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:56.600
know, the what Jeff Darlington claims
happened. It just comes down to did

127
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.040
it need to get that far?
Was it an overreaction? And I guess

128
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.720
at the end, even if you
see body cam footage and that gives us

129
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.319
the complete context. We have literally
a view of everything and how it played

130
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.240
out and how it got there.
It really just comes down to your opinion,

131
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.160
right Like maybe somebody would say,
you know, they did what they're

132
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.959
supposed to do. Others would say
that cops should have you know, de

133
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.000
escalated and not taken it that far. But I go back to what I

134
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.319
said at the beginning of the show, and that is this, first of

135
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.360
all, before I get to that, condolence's thoughts and prayers to the family

136
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.159
of John Mills. He is the
gentleman who was killed today that you know,

137
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:35.679
he's a volunteer and by the way, volunteering for to do this you

138
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.039
have to pay. So this is
someone that clearly was probably on you know,

139
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:48.080
uh, you know, living out
his dream working as a volunteer to

140
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.320
help with this PGA championship, because
again it's a monetary investment you have to

141
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.440
make just to be able to be
a volunteer and you don't get paid to

142
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.039
do it. And day to this
event he loses his life. So just

143
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.320
a tragic, tragic situation. Terry
Miners tweeted this out just a moment ago

144
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.039
and shared the picture of John Millston
said. Mister mills family released this photo

145
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.320
of the media, noting he was
enjoying his time at Valhalla working security.

146
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.759
He liked to stay busy in retirement. We love him and we will miss

147
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.080
him. So just an absolute tragedy
and that, you know, it's it's

148
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:22.000
awful and I don't really know how
to transition, you know, past that.

149
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:30.080
But when it comes to the overall
reaction to learning that the unthinkable happened,

150
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.080
the number one golfer in the world, on his way to the second

151
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.720
day the PGA Championship, was arrested
and ended up going to jail. I

152
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.159
mean, it's it's a can't it
is a you can't make this up story,

153
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:48.039
right, So it reminded me of
something that has been pretty evident in

154
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.080
recent years in this country, and
that is that we are so divided and

155
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.720
I'm not here to try to like
bring us together because I'm somebody that you

156
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.240
know, I don't. I mean
I think independently. I know, and

157
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.799
doesn't mean that I'm always right or
my opinions are better than anybody else's,

158
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:07.039
But like I don't jump to any
side of anything because of previous situations,

159
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.879
because of beliefs, because of politics. I just I don't do. I

160
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.799
just don't. That's just not how
I'm wired. But it was quite clear

161
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.919
that without anybody really disputing facts,
without anybody, you know, seeing body

162
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.440
cam footage, we have people that
are just inclined to not let it play

163
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.240
out, think for themselves, and
then gather whatever opinion they gather. They're

164
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.120
just they're of the belief that,
well, this didn't need to happen.

165
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:39.639
It's those dirty cops at LMPD.
They're always being jerks and abusing their authority.

166
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.759
They think they're badasses with that badge. Like there are people that just

167
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.200
without knowing anything, just saw that
he was arrested and ran with that.

168
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.440
And then there are others same situation, right, They just hear that,

169
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.559
you know, he's charged with this
and he's arrested, and they just assume,

170
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.000
well, hey, screw this guy. He thinks he can do this.

171
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.000
What's the outrage he broke the law? Doesn't matter. These the number

172
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.559
one golfer back the blue, Like
without really even people even reading a headline,

173
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.879
I'm sorry, just reading a headline, without reading the details of an

174
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.039
article, without hearing Jeff Darlington talk, they just see that and they are

175
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:20.080
programmed to just default to whatever you
know, their political party is likely going

176
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.519
to the majority of them run with. And I just you know, I

177
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.679
would never want to. I mean, I would want to think for myself

178
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.679
and not care about what anybody else
thinks about it. I'm going to have

179
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.360
my own opinion, and you know, I think I've talked about it many

180
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.440
times, not even related to like
politics or anything, but just when it

181
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.480
comes to like sports, which is
what we usually talk about on this show,

182
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.399
right, I don't care if you
have a different opinion. I don't.

183
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.120
I live in a world where we
can have strongly different opinions and it

184
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.240
doesn't mean that we hate each other, can't converse in that you know,

185
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.480
you're a scumbag. I just don't. I don't know how we got there,

186
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.320
and a lot of people aren't like
that. But you know, having

187
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.000
an opinion that is completely different than
mine is something that I can be content

188
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.320
with when it comes to that other
person. And I think, again,

189
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.440
I choose to believe there's still many
people out there like that. But you

190
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.240
know, like just there's a part
of this whole situation where I'm thinking,

191
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.039
Man, Twitter was made for days
like this, because it's just you know,

192
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.080
all there's t shirts being sold already
with his mugshot. I mean,

193
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.559
people are cracking jokes, and you
know that's that's Today was a Twitter day

194
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.320
to shine. But it also you
know, Twitter, Facebook, wherever you

195
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.320
go on the internet. It's the
ultimate minder of what I just mentioned.

196
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.679
We are so divided, and I
think you just have people again that just

197
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.960
default to what they assume the majority
on their side would would run with and

198
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.240
believe without even you know, learning
and seeing. And again we don't have

199
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.679
that, we don't have the full
context, we don't have the body cam

200
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.559
footage and whatnot. So all right, let's see what are the other the

201
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:05.200
other clips here that we have.
Yeah, these are mostly the clips of

202
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.600
him discussing, you know, the
golf and how he's gonna you know,

203
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.279
move forward with the rest of the
event, which I'm sure you guys want

204
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.519
to hear that too. But this
is another one really quickly that I'll share

205
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.240
with you. This is him being
complimentary of of l MPD. Let's see

206
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.279
here, the officer that took me
to the to the jail was was very

207
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.600
kind. He was great, you
know, he had a nice chat in

208
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.360
the car that kind of helped calm
me down, and I was sitting there

209
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.120
waiting to kind of go in.
I asked him. I was like,

210
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.879
hey, excuse me, can you
just come he just come hang out with

211
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.240
me for a few minutes so I
can calm down. And uh, you

212
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.679
know I was. I was never
you know, angry. I was just

213
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.320
in shock and I think my body
was just I was shaking the whole time.

214
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.759
I was shaking for like an hour. It was. It was definitely

215
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.240
a new feeling for me. And
he came out and we had a nice

216
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.000
chat, and then the the officers
inside the jail were tremendous. A couple

217
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.320
of them made some jokes. I
think when they figured out, you know,

218
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.639
who I was and what happened and
you know how I ended up there,

219
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.759
you know, they Uh this one, this one older officer looked at

220
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.600
me as I was doing like my
fingerprints or whatever, and he looks at

221
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.200
me. He goes, so do
you want the full experience today? And

222
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.679
I kind of looked at him and
I was like, I don't know how

223
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.960
to answer that. And He's like, come on, man, you want

224
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.000
a sandwich? And I was like, sure, I'll take a sandwich.

225
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.639
I didn't breakfast yet and so,
I mean, they're really kind. I'm

226
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.759
grateful to have I'm grateful that we
have, you know, such strong police

227
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.240
and you know there are protectors out
there, and you know, like I

228
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.320
said, we just got into a
chaotic situation this morning. That's really all

229
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.240
it was. I Mean, I'm
kind of at a loss for words because

230
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.600
I'm not sure he could be handling
this better as far as just being calm,

231
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.679
not being combative, not blaming anybody, just being respectful and mature.

232
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.279
But it also makes it even more
mind boggling how it happened, does it

233
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.200
not. I mean, this guy
went to jail like it's never been a

234
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.240
jib In charged with a felony.
It's all over the world for people to

235
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.519
see. And he's like, well, you know, just to intend to

236
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.000
just a chaotic situation, that's what
happened. It just makes it even more

237
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.440
puzzling how we got there. And
it also again maybe I'm just you know,

238
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.159
buying into his calm and you know, respectful response here, mature response

239
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.240
I should say to where I'm thinking
that clearly the cop had to have,

240
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.000
you know, escalated this rather than
de escalate, and it was just somebody

241
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.440
trying to prove a point as a
law enforcement officer. But I can't.

242
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.919
I don't know that. You know, maybe I'm naive, but I don't

243
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.919
think anybody can be that calm and
be putting on a facade about something.

244
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.360
Yeah, oh, I'm with you. That's why I'm you know, I

245
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.360
love whenever. You know, at
times we hear something for the first time

246
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.759
on the air, and you know, John and I are not in the

247
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.120
same room. We're looking at each
other on a monitor and like you and

248
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.480
I have the same face. Like, wait a second, what Like again,

249
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.919
he didn't say, I don't.
I'm not sure he could have answered

250
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.879
that any better, right, But
also it's just like, dude, then

251
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.879
how did this happen? It makes
you wonder how has this gotten blown so

252
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.159
far out of proportion? And maybe
that's not the case. Again, like

253
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.159
keeps saying, we don't have the
entire story, but from his perspective,

254
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.080
as somebody who was involved with it, he is the subject of what's going

255
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.879
on along with the officer, he's
more calm than anybody. Yeah, I

256
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.799
mean, it's there's somebody who is, you know, in charge of like

257
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.879
media relations, you know, maybe
not even just media relations. But like

258
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.440
when something happens with an officer involved
in a situation, you don't hear from

259
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.039
that officer, right, you hear
from a spokesman of of of LMPD.

260
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.480
Yeah, And I don't know has
that happened yet? I don't know.

261
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:27.240
I mean, and look, they
may not feel like they need to because

262
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:30.519
to them it could just be a
pretty cut and dry thing. This is

263
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.120
what happened, this is what this
guy did, and we took action because

264
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.159
we're law enforcement and that's what we're
supposed to do. But is there a

265
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.799
scenario this just kind of like is
whatever, Like we don't get any other

266
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.240
Like it just ends up to where, hey, he goes to you know,

267
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.120
he goes to you know, he
gets charges drop because he you know,

268
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.559
apologizes or something like, and that
would be that would probably be best

269
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:59.039
case scenarios if there's a very peaceful
resolution to where he doesn't have some serious

270
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.359
criminal record. Like there are so
many people initially it probably still now that

271
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.920
are demanding he gets an apology and
he may be owed that if we find

272
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.759
out that like he was mistreated or
something. But he doesn't seem like he

273
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.200
wants an apology, Like he's not
upset. He doesn't seem like he was

274
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.119
wronged in any way to or form
I just you know, I'm it becomes

275
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.920
more fascinating. I hope this becomes
a great example in the future, and

276
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.559
maybe it won't be talked about if
it's not so negative, because that's the

277
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.440
way that the world works. But
I hope it becomes an example for the

278
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.160
future when things like this go down
on how people should handle themselves in situations

279
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.720
like this. It wouldn't mean again, I don't think it would happen this

280
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.160
way, but if in fact,
you know he I mean, he's already

281
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.559
to me kind of been like,
yeah, you know, this chaotic situation,

282
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.519
and he hasn't said much about a
misunderstanding. He hasn't mentioned anything about

283
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.160
knowing if in fact the guy on
his coming. He hasn't talked about that

284
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.400
that I've heard as far as the
car, and he probably would be advised

285
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:57.440
not to get into those details by
his attorney. But maybe the cop comes

286
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.240
out and says, look, I
could have de escalated it. It was

287
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.319
a highly intense situation. We just
had a tragedy where somebody was hit by

288
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.599
a bus and lost their life.
It's raining, it's dark, traffic and

289
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.079
parking has already been very very you
know, chaotic, and you know,

290
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.519
I let my emotions get the best
of me. Like if they just completely

291
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.759
came to like cooler heads and they
were like, hey, that really,

292
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.279
charges are dropped. You know,
I'm sorry what I did. I probably

293
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.559
should have, you know, not
drove off with you attached to my car

294
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:27.759
and the cops like, well,
you know what, I probably should have

295
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.079
cooled down a little bit and not
been so aggressive and maybe had a conversation

296
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.519
with you after the fact that just
kind of see what was going on and

297
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:38.799
what the misunderstanding was. If that
transpired and everybody's good to go and we're

298
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.359
washing hands of it, that would
be best case scenario, would it not.

299
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.759
However, however, nobody wants that. Somebody wants somebody to be at

300
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.240
fault here because we're so divided people. People don't want the police to be

301
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.680
blame. People want the MLL and
PD to be sued because they think they're

302
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.039
a bunch of bad cops. And
people you know also want you know,

303
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.200
this guy to do due time because
he think because in their mind, they

304
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.200
think he tried to get away with
something because of his status, like it

305
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.920
just you know, usually we talk
about like fun stuff on the show.

306
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.279
We haven't done that yet. But
one thing I will tell you is that

307
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:17.279
we we are going to take a
brief detour to discuss some hard hitting sports

308
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.400
items. I mean kind of.
They're not really that intense, not hard

309
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:22.960
hitting, but you know, some
updates that I want to share with you

310
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.640
guys. But obviously this is still
going to be a talking point because it's

311
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.799
the biggest story on the planet right
now, seemingly. And I don't think

312
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.079
i've I say that, you know, showing local biased. I think it's

313
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.200
again, it's all anybody's talking about
across the world, all right, don't

314
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:38.519
go anywhere. It's coffee and company. Feel abut Thornton's on Sports Talk seven

315
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:45.480
ninety If you are looking to buy
or sell a home, I've got the

316
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.599
folks you need to reach out to
when it comes to that process, and

317
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.720
that's Elin and Eland Realtors. They've
been a full service residential real estate brokerage

318
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.680
here in the Louisville market, Kentucky
in the market, I should say,

319
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.960
since nineteen seventy six. I'm sure
you've heard of them. They're well respect

320
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.880
did, because again they've been doing
this since nineteen seventy six. They participated

321
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.799
in thousands of clothings representing hundreds of
millions of dollars in real estate. And

322
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.599
they will list your home for just
one percent, and that alone, I

323
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.519
think is incentive enough for you to
trust them in this process of moving,

324
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.200
buying, and selling your home.
They also have the one percent buyer's rebates.

325
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.079
So by doing this, I'm sure
business is great for them because when

326
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.599
you hear all that they can do
for you, including again help you save

327
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.680
money, people are probably lining up
to give them business and that, and

328
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:36.160
it's because they're really going out of
their way like nobody else does, to

329
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.599
help you keep a lot of your
hard earned money in your pocket when you

330
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.599
make a move. And moving can
be expensive. There's costs that pile up.

331
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.559
So elin and eland eland dot com
is the website five oo two five

332
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.279
nine nine twenty eight hundred again fib
oo two fine eight hundred. To give

333
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.599
Film Offit a call, he'd he'd
be happy to hear from you. And

334
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.000
again, maybe you know somebody out
there that does real estate that kind of

335
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.640
stuff. I mean, look,
tell them, with all their rest I'm

336
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.720
gonna go with Eland and Eland because
they're gonna do one percent for listing my

337
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.559
home and that's something I can't pass
up. And by the way, they're

338
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.920
going to make the process from start
to finish a breeze for you. So

339
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:12.359
again, it's eland dot Com five
two, five, nine nine, twenty

340
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.160
eight hundred. All right, let's
talk some baseball. That's what we usually

341
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.880
do on the show, right John, talk a little baseball, the kings

342
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.480
of baseball. So I want to
give a shout out to the Spaulding University

343
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.480
Golden Eagles baseball program. My cousin, Caleb Coffee, is a freshman for

344
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.720
Spaulding, and uh, he's a
talented player. I mean, he's a

345
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.000
Coffee that goes without saying. But
he had his first career home run last

346
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.640
week when they were in postseason play
and they ended up winning the Saint Louis

347
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:44.640
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship over the weekend
for I believe the second yeah, the

348
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.799
second straight season. So now they
are in NCAA tournament action. It's Division

349
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.920
three and yeah they they they're in
a rain delay. Now. I think

350
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.680
they were supposed to start at three
maybe like later tour. It may actually

351
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.440
be around six o'clock. But when
I get the specifics, I'll let you

352
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.680
guys know, because that's who we
need to be pulling for. Spaulding.

353
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.240
You know, they used to be
inn Ai back whenever I was younger,

354
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.240
when I was in school. But
they've gone D three and it seems as

355
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.279
if it's been a good decision for
the university because I feel like they've had

356
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.319
some they've had success in a variety
of their athletic programs over there. So

357
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:21.359
again, shout out to the Spaulding
Golden Eagles. Also, real quick,

358
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.319
another little baseball thing I wanted to
bring up here because this is just I

359
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.759
mean, this is something that is
getting some national attention for obvious reason.

360
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.519
When you'll know when I tell you
what it is. But it just happened

361
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.039
right across the river here at Indiana
University Southeast. Did you hear this,

362
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:41.240
John, Indiana University Southeast won a
game the other day that if you're watching

363
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.880
it live, if you're there,
or if you're watching on the stream,

364
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.359
you would, you know, you
would assume that there's no way they were

365
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:56.799
going to win. They were down. Let's see here, let me see

366
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.279
here. Yeah, this is almost
unbelievable. They were playing Indiana Tech.

367
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.519
Indiana Tech and Indiana University Southeast and
Indiana Tech bleue a none run lead with

368
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.559
two outs in the ninth. Wow, so I did not know. Two

369
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.400
outs in the ninth Indiana Tech has
a non run lead in Indiana University Southeast

370
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.759
rallied like you would never believe to
come back and win. I mean,

371
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:26.400
just absolute insanity. The one thing
I like about baseball is that you can't

372
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.759
really ice the game. Yeah,
make sure a million runs or whatever you

373
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.319
have to pitch. You have to
give him a chance to come back.

374
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.559
That's what they did. This video
has two point two million views and it's

375
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.640
the final play where again I use
Southeast scored twelve runs with two outs in

376
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:47.000
the bottom of the ninth to win
it. Bananas, absolute bananas. I

377
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.799
guess this is as they're realizing,
Oh wow, they're rallying and I guess

378
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:52.720
got the first two outs of the
ninth relatively quickly. The last one has

379
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:59.720
been to too Goodwin high and deep
to dead center field again at the track.

380
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:04.160
He he jumps and did he catch
it? No, he didn't catch

381
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:11.000
it or did he nobody knows?
Again, didn't catch it. It's a

382
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:17.759
walk off, three run home run
to dead center field by Trevor Goodwin,

383
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:23.119
and I use Southeast with their backs
against the wall, score twelve runs with

384
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:27.880
two outs in the bottom of the
ninth to steal game one and up playing

385
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:37.480
today. I love that announcer because
he's I mean, the feet here is

386
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:45.000
just a webcam out across the entire
field from like the from the like the

387
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.519
the what do you call it the
like the booth? Yeah, but it's

388
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.880
not called that in baseball. What
is it? I don't know what it's

389
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.039
called. You're supposed to know,
Like everything's the ball stall. Every sport

390
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.319
had just a broadcast booth. But
even if you're not broadcasting, like there's

391
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.039
no broadcasts in high school baseball,
but they have them there, like it's

392
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.400
called something. I'm a total dumbass, and I wish at times you could

393
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.960
bail me out, but it makes
it to where I'm even if you did

394
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.559
know, I've pressured you to just
come through and tell me what it is.

395
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.559
I'm blanking on either way. You
know, he doesn't have a replay,

396
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.960
Like he doesn't know like so that's
why he's just out there waiting to

397
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.240
see what the refs actually tell you. The umps actually tell you what happened,

398
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:29.599
because you know he's calling it from
not a great vantage point. But

399
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:34.759
yeah, the uh that to I
mean again, twelve runs with two outs

400
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.680
in the bottom of the ninth to
win. I mean again, it's one

401
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.440
thing just to come back and win
that in that situation, but to score

402
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.039
the twelve runs when you already have
two outs makes it. I mean,

403
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.960
the win probability there had to be
non existent, and sure enough they ended

404
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.839
up getting it done. All right, So bit a big week for Pat

405
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.079
Kelsey, right. He landed case
in Pryor on Tuesday, which was exactly

406
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.359
the exact kind of piece they needed
in the transfer portal. And then a

407
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:07.960
day later they landed Kahannie Ruth's the
freshman to be top thirty recruit forward.

408
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:15.519
So now there are two scholarships left. And Noah Waterman arrived yesterday for a

409
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.599
visit, and there were some pictures
that somebody took of him at Jeff Ruby's,

410
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.480
which I would say is a good
spot to take somebody who's visiting Louisville

411
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.160
and you know, taking in everything, and it sounds you know, I

412
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.480
have no clue what's going to happen. I think Louisvill's always believed to be

413
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.960
in a good situation because Louisville apparently
has had interest in him before he hit

414
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.839
the portal, and there's been mutual
interest. I saw some social media posts

415
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:42.759
from months back that kind of confirm
what has been out there, and that

416
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.319
Ali Khalifa, the former BYU player
who's already transferred to Louisville, they were

417
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.279
very close friends, not just teammates, but they're very close. So I

418
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.279
would imagine while he's been pondering,
hey, do I want to hit the

419
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.359
portal or not, Ali Khleif has
been telling him, hey, you should

420
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:02.160
consider Louisville. You'd fit in great
here. It's awesome, and that led

421
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.839
to him hitting the portal and then
making a visit yesterday. And I've heard

422
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.920
nothing about the visit, good or
bad, but he is expected to go

423
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.119
to Cincinnati and visit there as well, which doesn't mean like Louisville's in trouble

424
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:15.160
or anything like that, but I
just I think a lot of times we

425
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:19.839
end up assuming that if a guy
visit, if a guy visits and doesn't

426
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.720
commit and then he goes elsewhere,
that that automatically means that you're not going

427
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.319
to get him. And to be
fair, I don't know if that's actually

428
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.319
happened with any like. I think
everybody who has committed to Louisville that visited

429
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.039
did commit shortly thereafter and didn't go
elsewhere. In fact, I'm not even

430
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.160
sure if they were scheduled to go
elsewhere. So I guess maybe you're,

431
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:41.960
you know, you're following the pattern
that has developed with the roster additions and

432
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.519
just assuming that if they if they
want to go elsewhere after they visit,

433
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.920
that maybe it's a red flag.
But for what it's worth, Case and

434
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.680
Prior didn't even visit, I mean, he did not visit Louisville. He

435
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.160
committed the Louisville the day after Louisville. Probably, I mean, I think

436
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.799
it's quite clear what happened there.
The five way two circle was able to

437
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.799
add a little more money to the
Nile package for Case in Pryor once they

438
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.680
realized they don't they're not going to
owe any money to Great Ausiinbor because he's

439
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.039
going to Washington. So that led
to him taking you know, making it.

440
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:12.279
And maybe I'm wrong, maybe he
visited and nobody knew about it,

441
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.960
But I don't believe that he had
taken a visit yet, and that's going

442
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.039
to be more normal now because of
it being a this is you know,

443
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.839
this is a transactional thing more so
than it ever has been. And it

444
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.359
all I mean at times. I
mean I think before nil players were still

445
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.079
probably getting in admissible benefits in some
way. But now if you're a transfer

446
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.279
like Prior, who's a fifth year
dude, I mean, this is why

447
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.519
you're still playing in college is I'm
sure you want to have a successful last

448
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.000
year and win and be a part
of a winning program, you know,

449
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.480
really enhance your college basketball career.
But also you can make a lot of

450
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.240
money, so visits matter. But
like you can get guys to visit,

451
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.640
or you can get guys to commit
without visiting if you if you have the

452
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:53.680
right pitch and they really like the
coach, they like the vision, and

453
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.599
of course they like the money that
you have. The young man from Oklahoma

454
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.680
State, Garrison, who transferred to
Kentucky from Oklahoma State, he did not

455
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.279
visit Kentucky. I don't think he
has yet actually, or maybe he has

456
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.000
sense, but he committed without visiting, and I think it's because the Nile

457
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.640
offer was attractive. He probably likes
Mark Pope and said, you know,

458
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.160
let's get it done. So and
I'm not Two things about Noah Waterman to

459
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:22.319
share that I think are worth sharing. One, Cincinnati just landed a player

460
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:25.720
that is, you know, maybe
not the same exact position, but a

461
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.599
stretch for Dylan Mitchell, a former
five star forward who was playing for I

462
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.640
believe Texas most recently. He was
like five star kid coming out of high

463
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.559
school. He is now going to
play for West Miller at Cincinnati, and

464
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:42.599
that has led to the Cincinnati Insider
that covers the Bearcats for twenty four to

465
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:47.440
seven Sports, he is reporting,
and this is Chad Brindle, that he

466
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:51.920
kind of doubts that they see the
Waterman visit actually happen, given the fact

467
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:56.880
that they just landed Mitchell. So
I think Watermen would be a phenomenal addition

468
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:03.400
because I think he's a good player, but also stylistically, I mean he's

469
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.720
I mean, he fits exactly with
what I mean. If you're if you

470
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.680
are somebody that has some perimeter skills, you're big, you know, you've

471
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.920
got versatility for somebody your size,
and you can shoot it. I mean,

472
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.799
I think Pat Kelsey among other coaches, I mean actually I think Mark

473
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.480
Pope, to be honest with you, is I mean, I'm gonna be

474
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.160
curious to see if we end up
seeing, you know, down the line

475
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.759
here, if Mark Pope and Pat
Kelsey kind of go after the same type

476
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.519
of players, because offensively, they're
very similar. And the way I watched

477
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:37.240
Mark Pope use Noah Waterman and you
know, some of the highlights at BYU,

478
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.480
like he could, I think that's
exactly what he would do at Louisville,

479
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.640
And you know, that would be
a nice edition. So we'll see,

480
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:45.680
maybe we could be on commitment watch. Maybe he now doesn't want to

481
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.519
consider Cincinnati because of that addition that
they just added, and now he knows

482
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.559
Louisville's going to be, you know
where he ends up. So fingers crossed,

483
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.000
because that would be another really nice
piece. All right, let's take

484
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.839
a quick time out. We'll come
back and wrap up the four o'clock hour,

485
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:06.880
see if there's any more updates added
context, maybe some body cam footage

486
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.720
of what went on. But some
of you guys have some of you guys

487
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.920
have you know, insinuated that like
this could just play out and nobody get

488
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.359
bodycam footage. But I think if
you do like an open records request and

489
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.400
ask for it. It could be
public, but it you know, clearly

490
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.440
somebody is going to do that.
The number one golfer in the world was

491
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.599
arrested. People are going people have
probably already requested it, and I think

492
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.799
any minute we're either going to find
out if it's going to be available or

493
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.160
if you know, there wasn't a
body cam, and if that information is

494
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.240
already out there and I've just missed
it, please let me know. All

495
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:38.640
right, keep a locked right here
on Sports Talk seven ninety's like the second

496
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.160
time in a week or so we've
played akon, isn't it it is?

497
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.720
This is courtesy of Austin. Our
friend Austin wanted to hear little locked up.

498
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.799
Yeah. I mean it's fitting fitting
for today, no doubt so.

499
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:56.960
Earlier this afternoon around two o'clock,
Mayor Greenberg did release his statement. He

500
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.039
was on earlier and I was going
to play the sound, but it was

501
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:00.640
when he was on with Tony cr
was earlier this morning, and at that

502
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.839
point, as you could expect,
just expressing thoughts and prayers with the victim

503
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.400
who lost his life in the accident
and his family and just everybody and that's

504
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:15.000
that's a traumatizing experience for everyone involved. But also you know, if someone

505
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.079
lost their life, so very sad. But again I don't think given how

506
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.079
much has transpired since then and what
it escalated to, you know, I

507
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.680
didn't think the clip from Cruise's show
was worth but worth hearing. But here's

508
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:29.000
the statement. This is this morning, our city experienced a tragic accident and

509
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.160
took the life of John Mills,
a Louisville Alleuivillian, who will be greatly

510
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:34.839
missed by his family and our community. Our focus is on the family who

511
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.079
lost their loved one. I've spoken
with members of mister Willis's family to convey

512
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:43.079
our city's condolences. Following this tragedy, LMPD stopped traffic to assist with its

513
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:46.359
investigation and if they laccident. It
is unfortunate that an incident took place between

514
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:51.279
an LMPD officer and mister Scheffler while
we while he was attempting to enter Valhalla.

515
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.839
LMPD is fully investigating this incident and
the legal process will proceed. We

516
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.400
appreciate everyone's cooperation. We remain focused
on this tragic loss of life and we'll

517
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:06.680
share more information on both of these
matters as available. So I just I

518
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:12.000
have so many questions as far as
does any like you know, like everything

519
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:14.480
that Scotty Scheffler has said, which
if you missed it, we will play

520
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.640
some of that sound for you guys
again coming up here at the beginning of

521
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.720
the five o'clock hour. But you
know, he doesn't really seem to think

522
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.240
that what law enforcement did was wrong. I mean a lot of people on

523
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:27.480
the text line have said, wouldn't
you think that he would come out and

524
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.359
say that he was wrongfully charged?
He did not commit the charge, He

525
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.279
did not commit the crimes that he
is charged with. If he I mean,

526
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.440
like, I have no clue where
it goes from here, Like are

527
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.279
they fighting to get charges dropped or
are they going to you know, just

528
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.160
plead I don't I mean, I
don't know. Like, first of all,

529
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.480
I would not have guessed that he
would have taken any questions today,

530
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:51.839
but he did. He talked about, you know, his round of golf

531
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:55.519
today, and he talked about the
situation as far as you know, after

532
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:58.960
the fact. He didn't talk about
really what led to him. He didn't

533
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:00.519
give details as far as what led
to it and getting to that situation.

534
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:05.319
He talked about everything after that,
and the only thing he brought up when

535
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:10.480
it comes to I guess how they
got there was just how he described it

536
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.440
was just a big misunderstanding. Is
that what he said? Yeah, I

537
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.159
mean I think this is let me
pay the last part of this clip real

538
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.280
quick. Got into a chaotic situation
this morning. That's really all it was.

539
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.960
Chaotic situation this morning. That was
all that it was. So you

540
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.679
know, you see all the t
shirts of his mugshot free Scotty, Free

541
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:37.719
Scheffler. The internet seems to mostly
be rallying for him, like free him.

542
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:43.360
He the city needs to have him
come back. Like the automatic reaction

543
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.400
for so many was that the cops
got it wrong. How could they do

544
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.039
this? We have to do right
by scot By Scotty Scheffler, have him

545
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:53.760
do writers up for Derby one fifty
one, you know, like apologize to

546
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.280
him, name a street after him
or not. Like I guess, I

547
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.760
can't say I'm surprised to see that
it plays out that way, because it

548
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:01.719
is just a crazy thing to think
that. Okay, wait a second.

549
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:06.880
This situation led to him being charged
with a second degree felony and taken to

550
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.800
jail because it just I have a
hard time thinking that it needed to play

551
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.719
out the way that it did.
So therefore, you know, I guess

552
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.880
others believe that, and they just
assumed that the cops had to do something

553
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.840
wrong, and I'm just you know, maybe they did. Maybe you know,

554
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:22.079
it could have been de escalated and
it didn't need to go there.

555
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.239
But he's not acting like that's what
happened. He's not acting as if anybody

556
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:30.719
did anything wrong, which maybe is
just him being professional and not saying anything

557
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:34.719
that's going to potentially, you know, make matters worse for him. But

558
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.000
it also interesting more curious John.
I know, the officer's probably not going

559
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:40.280
to say anything, as you mentioned
earlier, but it would be interesting to

560
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:45.039
see what Scheffler's reaction would be if
the officer comes out on the offensive like

561
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:50.039
something did happen? Yeah, I
mean, or the officer, you know,

562
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.440
I'm sure he's going to talk to
his superior and he'll just claim,

563
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:57.599
look, this is what, this
is what happened, and that's that.

564
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:02.800
There is no I didn't even hesitate
to do what I'm supposed to do as

565
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:07.360
a law enforcement officer and arrest someone
who committed a crime directly in front of

566
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:08.800
me that I was involved in.
Like that may just be what it comes

567
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.000
down to. And if that's the
response, and what Scheffler's saying publicly is

568
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.840
how his lawyer is going to kind
of proceed with it, then this may

569
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:22.079
just kind of completely just die down. But I don't know, like,

570
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.639
is he gonna is he going to
plead guilty to this felony charge and just

571
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.000
say, look, yeah, it
was, as he said, a hectic

572
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:32.519
situation and that's what it led to. So you know, I'm gonna take

573
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.719
accountability. I mean, it's just
I very bizarre, all right. So

574
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.440
the text line this is the Ellen
and Federal Credit Union text line five two

575
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:43.599
six five three zero seven ninet.
If you guys want to text in.

576
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:49.719
This person says, if Scheffler truly
feels the way that he has conveyed himself

577
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.320
in the press conference, why would
the PGA be mad at Louisville or LMPD.

578
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:57.400
I don't know. Nobody said that. I mean, they haven't come

579
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:01.159
out and said that they are.
But yeah, that was like most of

580
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:05.440
what I saw initially. Well,
way to go, LMPD. You ruin

581
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.639
any chance of Louisville ever being able
to host a PGA event again, and

582
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:14.440
maybe you know, this is far
from ideal for the PGA, for anybody

583
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.440
involved, but it sounds like,
you know, getting them to come back

584
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:22.880
here was going to be a really
long shot anyway. But yeah, again,

585
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:28.559
this situation can't help them. And
as someone who again not a golf

586
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:34.360
guy, the PGA can't enjoy the
fact that the only thing being talked about

587
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:38.119
in this humongous event, the PGA
freaking Championship, is this story. Right

588
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:43.159
Like, I'm sure those who are
betting on the event and are big golf

589
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.880
fans or even casual golf fans that
just you know, or they are watching

590
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:47.320
it, they're keeping up with,
you know, the leaderboard and whatnot.

591
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:52.239
But nationally, when you talk about
the PGA Championship right now, as far

592
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.719
as you know, news items updates, it's about Scotti Scheffler getting arrested.

593
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:59.400
Because again, just saying it out
loud doesn't seem like it could be possible,

594
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:02.039
but it did. It in fact
happened. All right, let's do

595
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:05.320
this. Let's go ahead and get
our top of the hour break out of

596
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.280
the way. We'll come back finish
strong. Here my last hour of the

597
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.960
week before I'm out of here for
a week, looking forward to a nice

598
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.159
little getaway. So we'll reset some
things, open up the phone lines,

599
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:20.079
let you guys react, and there
are some other things I want to get

600
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:23.079
to that you know or what I
would classify some things you would typically hear

601
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:29.559
on this show. CBS Sports has
ranked. They've unveiled their annual top twenty

602
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.519
five rankings of college football coaches.
We'll tell you where the local coaches came

603
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:37.760
in. And also, the NFL
released their schedules earlier this week. We

604
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.840
know that it's just a reminder of
how much the NFL moves the needle unlike

605
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.440
any other sport in America. But
what I love is how creative the content

606
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.960
team, the social media team for
these NFL teams. I mean, like

607
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:55.000
the creativity that goes into how you
release your schedule on social media. I'm

608
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:59.800
a fan of that stuff, man. So we'll finish strong here five o'clock

609
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:07.760
hour next right here on Sports Talk
