WEBVTT 1 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.679 Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up. Yes, 2 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.600 Fire Up. And the title of the show says it all, are 3 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.320 you excited? And I'm gonna guess that most of you aren't as excited with 4 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:46.039 as much as at least two of us on this panel tonight, because just 5 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.039 for all of your information, next week, there will not be a Fire 6 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:57.560 Up show on this station on Thursday night. And you're gonna ask why, 7 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.920 and the reason is is the reason that me and I think Jeremy are really 8 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.480 excited. George might be a little excited, but I think me and Jeremy 9 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.480 are probably way more excited because we get the honor of covering our very first 10 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:22.599 NFL draft. I have never been, so this will be my first time. 11 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.239 I don't think. I don't even know if Scott has actually covered a 12 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:33.239 draft. He's been in a team facility for a team for the draft, 13 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.519 but not at the actual draft. I don't believe, George, have you? 14 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.000 No? No, I covered one NBA draft to Detroit and one NHL 15 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.640 draft to Detroit, and of course this is the first draft to Detroit history 16 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.920 for the NFL. So no, it's the first time for me too. 17 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.560 Yeah, like I said earlier, and I'm going to tell you right now 18 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.439 Rocket Scientists before you you leave. Hey, guys, I know you said 19 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.960 good night. I'm as excited as a schoolgirl getting ready to buy your first 20 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:15.560 dress for her first prom date. We are just excited because we have followed 21 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.080 the NFL, Jeremy more so than I for years and years and years, 22 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.800 and to have this new experience and to be honored that the NFL recognizes us 23 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.599 and is allowing us to come be a part of this experience is awesome. 24 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:37.360 It's awesome. So you bet I can't wait. I don't know what next 25 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.000 week looks like. I'll be honest, because I've never been there, so 26 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.479 it'll be interesting to see. But we will share as much as we can 27 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.879 with you all. We will be recording, whether we go live or we 28 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.080 record things and put them up on our YouTube after the fact. I'm not 29 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.719 exactly sure. I know Jeremy's going to be doing some with his shows too, 30 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.840 so so it kind of depends because it just it depends on the setup 31 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.000 and where we're at, whether if it's too loud for us to be where 32 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.360 we're at, or if there are certain areas we can do shows from we 33 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.439 will, but I do know Tuesday night we're going to do a special edition, 34 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.560 I believe, of Inside the Pigskin, and we're going to be talking 35 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.520 about the NFL Draft. I do know that Scott was on a conference call 36 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:34.560 about the NFL Draft yesterday and it was two hour long talking about the draft 37 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.439 picks and where people think they're going to go and stuff like that. So 38 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.159 we're all excited. I mean, I'll be honest. I know I'm coming 39 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:49.159 to the Motor City, you know, and it is Lions country, but 40 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.680 we're coming for the NFL. So that's what it's what's fun and important. 41 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.560 And like I said, I've never been. And then from there, Scott 42 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.240 and I are going to head to Toronto for a day and then Niagara Falls 43 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:06.240 and I've never seen either of those. So I am uber excited. I 44 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.400 got to get through another day of work tomorrow, but we're gonna get there. 45 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.599 We're gonna be there, and I'm gonna be in person with you guys. 46 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:26.920 So Jeremy, talk a little bit about your level of excitement. Oh 47 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:36.160 yeah, I'm just way too excited. I got something to send you because 48 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.920 you said you want to know what the draft stage is going to look like 49 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:46.240 I have a mock up, and that is a I just got to get 50 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.560 to it again. I have a mock up of the draft stage. Okay, 51 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.519 it was an artist rendering of what they're doing. Might as well make 52 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.879 a full northern trip and see Milwaukee for the future home of the pack. 53 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.560 Now, I'm not going to Wisconsin this time, so, and I will 54 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.879 tell you Orlando, Milwaukee is not north of Green Bay, so actually it 55 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:19.399 wouldn't. But I've been to both, you know. But we won't be 56 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.839 a trip. We won't be making the trip to Wisconsin this trip. We 57 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:30.000 will be making one sometime this summer, but this trip we will not be. 58 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.759 We will be concentrated in Detroit and then up to Toronto and Niagara Falls 59 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:42.439 and then back home. So, but I know we want to talk about 60 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.480 things tonight. I wanted to talk a little bit about NBA and the playoffs. 61 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:53.160 I'm not quite as familiar with them as some people are, but I 62 00:05:53.199 --> 00:06:00.639 do know that I feel bad for Jimmy Butler because Jimmy Butler Orlando. Yes, 63 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.879 I We're gonna go to the can Canada side to see Niagar because I've 64 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.560 heard that's the better side to see it. From so we will see it 65 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:16.439 from that side. But back to Jimmy Butler suffers an MCL sprain and is 66 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:23.800 out for several weeks. That is a huge blow to the Miami heat and 67 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:29.240 I'm feel bad for him. Yeah, you know he he works hard. 68 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.519 He is a hard worker. And here it is. I send it to 69 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.839 you if you want to put it up. That is a mock up of 70 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.120 what the draft stage will be at in Detroit. Send it to get through 71 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.240 messenger. Oh you got your messenger. Okay, let's see what you can 72 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:50.920 do. But yeah, so I'm sad for the heat because I know that, 73 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.920 Uh, without Jimmy Butler, I don't know how far they'll go. 74 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:08.839 Oh not that I'm a huge heat fan, but it's still it's it's sad. 75 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.959 Uh that does look pretty cool. Yeah, I like it, And 76 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.480 I do not know where are setup exactly will be either, So yeah, 77 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.079 I don't know. I know that with the way they said that the stage 78 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.720 is going to face north in the park, I believe it is. Is 79 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.000 that the park right next to the Renaissance Center George where they're setting up. 80 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.759 No, No, the Renaissance Center is further at the UH on the River 81 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.160 or this is the park where the ice skating, where the Christmas Tree is 82 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.759 lit and there's ice skating during the winter. It's called Campus Marsha's Okay, 83 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.040 that's where they That's where they got that giant stage. So that's the that's 84 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:55.399 the one footprints. But then all the streets going all the way down Woodward 85 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.639 to the to Jefferson in the water, those are all be blocked off for 86 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.240 fans and still so it's going to be incredibly crowded. That's a good thing 87 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.319 that the NFL access that we have. That's a little bit different than like 88 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.240 getting it from just the Lions or the Packers and stuff like that, right 89 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.480 correct, It's a you know, it's an interesting point because I told some 90 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.560 of my media friends and says, you know, really, if you're a 91 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.000 media member in Detroit, you had three options. You could ask the team 92 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.279 if you want to cover Allen Park where they're headquarters. They're still going to 93 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.639 be there. The brain trust is still going to be at at the Allen 94 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.519 Park. There are the beat writers that stay there, you know, that's 95 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.440 their that's their home for Draft night the Lions. The Lions are hosting a 96 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:52.720 season ticket party at Ford Field by invitation only, so media. Yeah, 97 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.840 and then this one, of course, as you see, is the biggie 98 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.279 of all of course, the NFL and the and the draft experience and the 99 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.279 stage and everything else. I don't know where exactly the media room is going 100 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.080 to be. I've not got that clarified. I'm sure what part of the 101 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.759 experience world we're going to actually be physically located, but basically stuff. Also, 102 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.559 there's all kinds of things are going on. Yeah, downtown And somebody 103 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.799 said, are you gonna take enough money to eat? And I was like, 104 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.039 have you ever been to a press thing? Is that the media gets 105 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.879 boot? Yeah? Yeah, but for some of the big things like this 106 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.679 though, it's a box lunch. But it's still good, you know, 107 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:39.919 because they got they can't when you got the attendance of this type. They 108 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.799 did it at the Super Bowl, They've done it at the All Star Games. 109 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.639 Uh, that's the easiest way for them to do it, a box 110 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.559 lunch which includes a piece of fruit, cookies, sandwich, chips or whatever 111 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.120 you know. So, yeah, it's not a big buffet because they would 112 00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.240 never get everybody through the buffet. Okay, yeah, Well, and the 113 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.799 fact that it's going to be how many hours. Most sporting events that we 114 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.200 go to are a window of what two three four hours? Granted there's pre 115 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.279 and post, but I think with the draft it's a longer time frame too, 116 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.799 So I think it'll probably just be easier. Just to put it in 117 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.039 perspective, you're only allowed fifty hours before you got to buy more storage for 118 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.960 stream yard or restream or anything like that. Every year, twenty one hours 119 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:37.879 is the full draft coverage? Wow. Yeah, And that's when a lot 120 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.639 of people don't realize how much the full draft coverage really is. If you're 121 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.639 doing the one hour pre, the one hour post, plus the draft itself, 122 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:54.600 it averages out at seven hours per day. Yeah, because Thursday night, 123 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.279 of course, is just round one. Yeah, but they have the 124 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.679 longer time class right right minute between each pick. I think they get right 125 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.679 off the ball. Yeah, it'll probably go every bit of what do you 126 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.240 think midnight? It might end on Thursday or eleven thirty. I'm not sure. 127 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:15.200 It usually ends right about eleven o'clock. But after your post show and 128 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.519 everything else and you go over your reviews, it's midnight. Yeah, the 129 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.519 coverage ends at midnight. Yeah. Yeah, But at the same time, 130 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.879 you don't want to leave right when it's over, and you don't want to 131 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.639 be trying to get to your car and pull out of where you're at right. 132 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.919 Usually, Yes, yeah, James Burgess is exactly right, because that's 133 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.440 when I would sign off, is between eleven thirty ish and oh okay, 134 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.399 and Orlando, you hit a really good one there. My friend Orlando said 135 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.559 the Golden Fleece should cater The Golden flee says a long time detried Greek restaurant, 136 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.399 and it's a good one. So I'm glad you brought that up, 137 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.200 Orlando. And listen, I don't pretend to be in the know. As 138 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.519 far as the food, they may have made arrangements with local restaurants in Detroit, 139 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.679 they just not told us. But yeah, sometimes like a taste of 140 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:18.080 Detroit. They might have Coney Islands. They might have Sanders Hot Fudge Sundays. 141 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.000 They might have Big Boy sandwiches. Right, we don't know. Anytime 142 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.120 you're getting something for free, guess what it tastes. Right, they might 143 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.440 have Caesar's Pizza. You never know. Well, yeah, there you go, 144 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.919 and we know Detroit loves It's pizza. Yes, yes. Tom Monihan 145 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.360 owned the Tigers and then he you know, made a big name for himself 146 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.679 with Domino's, and then you got Mike Yelich with Little Caesar's. The choice 147 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.159 been known for being a pizza towd and Orlando a lot, a lot of 148 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:58.080 the hotel rooms are already taken, so we could not get in at the 149 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.559 Hilton. We do know that some of our some of our friends from Sideline 150 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.000 are staying at Caesar's over at windsor they're even staying in a different country then 151 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.799 some of us. So some of us are out in the suburbs as you 152 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:18.679 will, we will call it because they're expecting over three hundred thousand people to 153 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.360 come to your city. And before anyone asked, yes, I will be 154 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:31.720 properly groomed and looking good as best I can, Jeremy context called Diddy. 155 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.720 It wasn't Diddy. I told you that this morning. You know you brought 156 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.440 me that what you got. If I can interject here, Candy brought up 157 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.600 a good point about the hotel rooms, because so often we hear all Detroit, 158 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.000 sorry, you can't bid on such and such because you don't have enough 159 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.799 hotel rooms that are nearby. How many years we've heard that refrain? So 160 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.639 in other words. I give the league a lot of credit because they could 161 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.919 have said missus Ford, missus Sheila, No, I think you better wait 162 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.039 a few more years. You got to put up a few more hotel towers. 163 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.159 But they didn't do it. So we see get and then you get 164 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.240 the other side of the story. Adam Silver or Gary Bentman, Oh, 165 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.159 well you can't get the All Star Game yet because you don't have enough rooms 166 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.440 there Little Caesars Arena. Well that's hogwash, because you see what the NFL 167 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:30.480 did. They warned Detroit with all these thousands of visitors, and as you 168 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.159 said, I mean some people are staying in Windsor or staying in Farmington Hills 169 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:41.879 or Deerborn or whatever. So it's kind of a weird Uh well, shall 170 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.600 we say position that some of the leagues take about Detroit, whether using the 171 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:54.120 scapegoat, I call it asteau rooms host the Super Bowl, of course two 172 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.679 years ago. There's also no hotel rooms from the south side of Flint through 173 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.320 Graham Blank All of those are hooked up for this weekend and they have been 174 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:09.480 booked up since January. Wow. So if you think about it, that's 175 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.919 actually not that far of a commute. If you're not dealing with a crapload 176 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.480 of traffic. To drive to Detroit is always easier than it is to get 177 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.919 out. I've been saying this for years because I used to deliver water down 178 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.440 there and into the Detroit area, down by Big Beaver and fourteen mile and 179 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:33.440 twelve mile, And as long as I got my route done by three point 180 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.720 thirty in the afternoon, I could make it home before six. But if 181 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.799 I didn't, especially during Christmas time, I would not make it home till 182 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.120 nine or ten o'clock at night. Oh five hours in traffic. Wow, 183 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.399 yeah, oh yeah, just admits to that. He says, Yeah. 184 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.279 Hotels along Alley seventy five all the way to Holly and Graham Blank are booked, 185 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.639 and many of them are running special shuttles too, for a small fee 186 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:10.720 down to the draft. That's a good thing to do, yep, I 187 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.919 mean why not? Why not bank on it? We're talking about one hundreds 188 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.879 of dollars per room because you know they jacked up the price for a special 189 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.320 event. Oh yeah, you know the hotels you could usually get for seventy 190 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.679 five bucks, you're going to be paying one hundred and twenty five to one 191 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.559 hundred and fifty four. Yep, another comment there, Orlando, you made 192 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.039 about Detroit, and yes, that's interesting that you bring that up about the 193 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:45.039 Olympics, that the MotorCity had several attempts. They made several attempts to host 194 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.960 the Summer Olympic Games, and the last time they wanted it was nineteen sixty 195 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:55.960 eight. They were beaten out by Mexico City. And I'll never forget this. 196 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.440 One of the sportscasters in town named Dave Diles, who used to work 197 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:07.359 for ABC Channel seven. Dave Dials came out of a meeting and when they 198 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.799 when they had that vote, you could hear the Mexican delegation cheering wildly, 199 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:17.599 and out the door of this hotel room comes Fred Mafi. Fred Mathi was 200 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.079 the head of the Detroit organizing committee. And I'll never forget this clip that 201 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.720 Dave Dials, a sportscaster, went up to him and he said, Fred, 202 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.000 this doesn't this doesn't look like it's good for Detroit. And I swear 203 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.559 this guy was gonna cry this Detroit or as the last time we attempted was 204 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.839 to get the sixty eight Olympics, which they voted on. I think back 205 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:44.160 in sixty three or sixty four. But Detroit, it's it's just an unbelievable 206 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.880 expensive proposition to host the Olympics. That's why they go to cities like Atlanta 207 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.640 and la you know, that have a lot more money. Even New York 208 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.880 was turned down. But anyways, I'm digressing here about Detroit and the Olympics. 209 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:02.079 Yeah, but didn't we all try to get in for the twenty twenty 210 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.480 four to one and we got as high as third in the voting this time? 211 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.160 If I remember right, I read something that last two years ago when 212 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:15.119 they were deciding. I don't think so, but I could check on that 213 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.440 to say I know that. Yeah, go ahead. I don't know if 214 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.440 it was the twenty twenty four or it was back in twenty eighteen with the 215 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.279 Okay Olympics. I know we got into one of them in the highest we've 216 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:32.359 ever been ranked in the top five was three recently. Yeah, And you 217 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.519 do bring up a good point, Jeremy, because you first have to go 218 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:41.039 through your own country and see what who's bidding against you. For example, 219 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.359 it could be Detroit, Atlanta, New York, and Philly, you know, 220 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.240 And like you said, you know they have to expect all the areas 221 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:55.599 and then the nation. The National Committee looks at all the sites first, 222 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.480 and you're right, I think we did have a bid, like you said 223 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.160 several years back. But that being said, the problem with the Olympics now 224 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.799 is the fact that they're so expensive. They're probably gonna end up going back 225 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:14.000 to most of the cities that were in before. Why it's taking Paris, 226 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.799 France one hundred years to get the Olympics back is beyond me. I couldn't 227 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.640 believe when they said they Paris hasn't had the Summer Games, but they anyway, 228 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.000 so it's just for another day. I think Grand Rapids could take an 229 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:33.559 invent or two here and there. They probably could. I think the only 230 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.279 place other than Detroit that is second highest in hotels is the Grand Rapids or 231 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:42.000 Kalamazoo area something like that. I believe it it like halfway in between, 232 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:48.200 like in Holland and be able to cover both cities for that. Yeah, 233 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:55.839 that's a thought. Okay, Candy, Yes, yes, okay, So 234 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.720 off with the Olympics. We're done with the Olympics. So we did a 235 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.759 little bit about the NBA. Jeremy, you had a topic that you kind 236 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:08.440 of wanted to bring forward, and I brought it forward as a pundit point 237 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.559 because I thought it needed to be because we don't just talk about sports on 238 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:17.480 Pundit's pundits. We do cover the political side of things, but as far 239 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:22.759 as the sports side of it, Like I said, the Vermont Valley Christian 240 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.039 Catholic School, the girls were playing for the semi final to go to the 241 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:33.440 national championships in high school. They found out there was a biological male on 242 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.559 the other team and they forfeited. They refused to play when they were forced 243 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:45.000 to forfeit, and I personally feel it should have been the other way around 244 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.799 because that's a distinct advantage. You can say what you want, but a 245 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:59.279 biological mail is stronger, faster, able to jump higher, and able to 246 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:04.119 do more than any woman. And this is not being sexist, This is 247 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:11.279 not being There's a reason why there's a d lineation between the WNBA and the 248 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.960 NBA, why there's the Lingerie Football League in the NFL. There's a line 249 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:22.799 there and it shouldn't be crossed. Unless you can do the job as good 250 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:29.039 as a man, you shouldn't be playing with the men. I agree, 251 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.319 I agree. Yeah, I think this whole issue has gotten way way further 252 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.599 along than I ever expected it to. But I'm just saying that obviously that 253 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.279 does require a great deal of investigation, because I'm with you. I don't 254 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.519 think it's fair at all. You know, the women's swim team at a 255 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.759 high school or a college and then all of a sudden, like we've seen 256 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:59.960 happen where somebody has done a such change operation and you got this guy who's 257 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.359 because he's now a female, you know, winning running away with it, 258 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.279 like you said, stronger, faster, better swimmer in this case, and 259 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:12.519 it isn't fair to the It isn't fair to the other teammates and the other 260 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.279 you know, females on the squad, so to speak. And I don't 261 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:23.000 know, it's just it's a it's a thorny issue, but it's something that's 262 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.920 really hitting hard lately. I'm glad you brought that up, Jeremy, about 263 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:33.480 the situation Vermont. What do you think, Candy. I agree with you. 264 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:42.160 If you are born a man, I understand, and I don't know 265 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.960 that I do understand this. But if you want to be if you do 266 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.519 no longer want to be a man, and you feel that you should be 267 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.599 a woman, that's fine. That's your choice. That's your prerogative. But 268 00:22:53.279 --> 00:23:00.000 if you want to compete, you need to compete with people that are biologically 269 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:08.880 like you period, whether you're you know, because like you said, biologically 270 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:15.000 you are built differently a men. A male body is built differently than a 271 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.839 female body, and rightfully so. And yes, you can do have some 272 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:25.400 operations to change the esthetics or you know, the appearance of your body, 273 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:32.359 but physically you are still the same. And so I have a big problem. 274 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:37.559 I'm glad that walked away and said we're not going to compete against them. 275 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:45.160 They shouldn't. It shouldn't even have come to that. If you want 276 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.519 to have a coed league, then have a coed league. And then I 277 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:56.200 have a problem. It's just like when they do mixed doubles bowling. Ye, 278 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.960 you have to have at least one woman on your roster mm hm, 279 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:06.880 or you cannot have a team. Mm hmm. I've played co ed softball 280 00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:11.079 and you had both. And in fact, when I played co ed softball, 281 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.920 you had to there were special rules because they said if you ever intentionally 282 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:22.039 walked the male, you'd automatically walk the female behind because it was not fair 283 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:27.000 that you were trying to just pitch too one sex or the other. So 284 00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:33.359 they have special rules for when you're playing co ed. And I'll never forget 285 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.599 the time I went one of the first games I played in the league that 286 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.720 year, and the guys would always move way up that were playing in the 287 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:48.640 outfield because they're like, oh, you girls can't hit. Yeah, I 288 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.839 meaning to tell you I can't hit. I put it over your head. 289 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.839 Thank you very much, you keep moving in. Uh, you know, 290 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.720 I love that. That made me. He's like, dang, and I 291 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.759 shouldn't have loomed up, so you know, far in. But yeah, 292 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:11.559 it's an assumption, an assumption based off of genetics. It's been proven. 293 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:18.240 But at the same time, there are women who have proven they are better 294 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.759 than some men at some sport. He mo to the professional wrestling world. 295 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:30.480 China was once the heavyweight champion of the WWE. Everybody forgets that that she 296 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.480 won the titles. She only held it for a week, but she won 297 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:40.200 the title. Mm hmm. Yeah. And another another thing is that the 298 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:45.960 female golfers, especially a lot of the young ladies from Asia, uh you 299 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:51.039 know, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan. I mean they've dominated 300 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:56.559 the women's LPGA Tour the last many many years. Nothing against the American girls, 301 00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:04.759 but I'm talking about if there was a competition with the females and the 302 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.640 males, I'm not quite so sure that the men would win every time, 303 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.759 because there are a lot of excellent female golfers out there and they you know, 304 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.480 obviously have their own pro tours what I'm talking about. And the other 305 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.440 thing, of course, you got to go way back in history, and 306 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.400 I know people thought of it was a gimmick when Bobby Riggs played Billy Jean 307 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:29.319 King in the tennis exhibition match, remember at the Astrodome, yep, And 308 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:34.799 and Bobby got his you know what handed to him Billy Jean King, one 309 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.799 of the greatest, if not the greatest tennis player of all time. Billy 310 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.160 Jean King handed it right back to him. Now, I know he was 311 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.640 a little bit older at the time, but that was that was a battle 312 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.440 of the sectors that they called that match. What did Serena Williams say about 313 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:55.480 playing Raffie All no doubt? Oh yeah, it's one six, one six, 314 00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:00.759 one, yeah, I'll win one one segment of each leg of the 315 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:11.880 match. I'll loose three. Yeah, Oh god, you're asking me something. 316 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.319 Who's the tick who struck Babe Ruth and Gerrig in an exhibition game? 317 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.240 Does she mean struck out? I'm sorry, Does James mean strike out? 318 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.039 I think so? Oh, okay, Murray if he remembers right, is 319 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:34.559 the last name? Ah. But you know there's exceptions all the time. 320 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:41.839 Yep, struck out, struck out Ruth and Garrick as in kid Absolutely, 321 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:48.799 you know, because there's subtle differences in how they throw and everything else. 322 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.000 But at the time, if you remember, right when Louke, Garrig and 323 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.200 Babe Ruth were still playing, they were exempt from going to fight in the 324 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.880 war. So they were here because they were too old to be drafted at 325 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.880 the time, because it used to be if you were over what the age 326 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.680 of twenty eight, you couldn't be drafted. That was the old rule. 327 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:11.559 It's something like twenty six. So they were already older than that when World 328 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.319 War two hit and they were here. And those girls that played in the 329 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.519 Girls League that they made the movie A League of their own about they actually 330 00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:26.759 were really decent ballplayers. And I couldn't believe when they showed the pictures of 331 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:32.880 the real people next to them from back when they played. How closely accurate. 332 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:38.000 They got the girls to play the parts of the Rockford Beaches. Yeah, 333 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:44.759 it was actually pretty amazing how close they actually looked like them. South 334 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.799 Park from many Ramacho man Randy Savage just yelled transphobe. It may be transphob 335 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:56.079 but and then hermaphrodite. There's always exceptions to the rule. That is a 336 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:02.680 genetic mutation. You can't help, but it happens. Yeah, the women's 337 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:04.759 team was really good. They still got a display for them over there. 338 00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:10.519 Yes, as a matter of fact, the Women's Baseball League from back then 339 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:15.519 has a whole section at the Hall of Fame as well. They should, 340 00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:26.119 yeah, because they were playing because the Major League couldn't. So one of 341 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:33.440 the other topics I really wanted to quick get to is NHL approved today the 342 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:45.160 Coyotes move to Salt Lake City. So goodbye Arizona, Hello Salt Lake City. 343 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:51.839 So what do we think about that move, gentlemen. I think it's 344 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:57.519 a good move. I Salt Lake City is one of those cities that I 345 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.960 think a winner. Okay, So got Denver, Salt Lake City, and 346 00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:07.680 Lake Placid. And there was a city in California called Squah Valley that once 347 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.440 hosted the Winter Olympics. But Salt Lake City, of course did a terrific 348 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:17.880 job when they had the Olympics. A gentleman named Mitt Romney, who I 349 00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:25.799 know we've heard of, was the was the UH Host Committee chairman chairperson. 350 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.079 So Salt Lake City does like winter sports. Number one. Number two, 351 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.480 they have a basketball team. Okay, so let's not just say, oh, 352 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.799 well, they don't play pro sports there with no you're rock. They 353 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.079 Salt Lake City Jazz moved from New Orleans and became the Salt Lake City for 354 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.319 the Utah Jazz excuse me, with Carl Malone and John Stockton and you know, 355 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.880 some great teams they had there. Jerry Sloan was their coach. Hockey 356 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:57.119 is going to succeed because they loved their winter sports. So I think it's 357 00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:03.400 a brilliant move by the NHL. NHL bought the team from Arizona from the 358 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.799 current owner down there in Phoenix, and then obviously, uh uh, the 359 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.599 league is going in to sponsor this uh this team. And then I guess 360 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.880 Candy and and Jeremy what I heard was five or six years from now or 361 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.799 whatever. They're giving a time limit that this current owner of the Coyotes will 362 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.880 be an ex owner. Uh will be given, will be given a certain 363 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.640 time frame. If he can get the funding together and and get that stadium 364 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:36.880 built, then they would grant. I understand an expansion team back to Arizona 365 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.960 kind of a weird way to do it, but I think they're being fair 366 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:42.160 that way. That's the way. That's my take. I don't know, 367 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:49.440 what do you guys think? I agree? I agree. I mean Phoenix, 368 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:57.319 they have been in need of a new stadium for so long. The 369 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.200 arena that they're playing in the arena has a hockey capacity of twelve thousand. 370 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:12.559 The franchise collected eleven thousand season ticket deposits within hours of the sale. I 371 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:19.880 you know, I've actually been to Arizona. I've actually seen Coyotes play. 372 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.720 They and I've seen them play in both. They played in two different arenas, 373 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.920 and I've seen them play in both. Believe it or not, because 374 00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:36.240 that's highly unusual because I haven't gone. I've only seen four hockey stadiums. 375 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.759 I've seen the Coyotes. I've seen the Red Wings. I mean i've seen 376 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:45.240 the tour for the Red Wings. I've seen in Milwaukee they play, they 377 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.960 play the AHL and of course I've seen the Panthers, so it's unusual that 378 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.680 I've seen both in Arizona. But they needed to do something, and you 379 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.240 know, they weren't going to build a stadium for them, and they couldn't 380 00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:59.720 figure out where they wanted to put it, and they thought about this, 381 00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:04.720 and they thought about that, and you know, if you don't want the 382 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:09.200 team, this is what's gonna happen. And Salt Lake City wanted the team, 383 00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:13.200 so good for them, you know, give them to a team, 384 00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:17.359 give them to a place that wants them. I don't know about this whole 385 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.359 five year then he can get another expansion team. If he couldn't find the 386 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.119 right, you know, right place to have a team, Now, why 387 00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:34.319 would you think in five years it's going to change? So Robert Whatdell's exactly 388 00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.480 right. They did default on the hotel bills because it isn't the visiting team 389 00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:44.240 that pays for that. The home team pays for a bidding visiting team's floor 390 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.799 while they're there. And they defaulted on paying the local hotel over the last 391 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.039 two seasons because they didn't have the money. So if you don't have the 392 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:58.279 money to pay the hotel bill, you definitely don't have the money to renovate 393 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.759 or build an arena. What you don't deserve a team. I'm a little 394 00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:07.239 upset that's going to Utah. I wish it have went to Kansas City because 395 00:34:07.239 --> 00:34:16.480 they have the facility there already. Interesting, interesting, very interesting. Yeah. 396 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:23.480 I think that Kansas City Scouts they were called, and uh, they 397 00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:28.599 tried it there. It just did not proceed. In fact, the general 398 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.880 manager was a former Detroit Well he's a Hall of fame there, said Abell 399 00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:39.960 sid Abel was brought in with a good background, good uh uh hockey minds, 400 00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:45.400 and uh they still couldn't succeed. So that being said, I I 401 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.480 no, one doesn't cross my mind too much. Jeremy. I mean I 402 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.039 I I know it's it's a it's a big enough city, but I don't 403 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.400 think that they'd be able to support it. Just it's just my good feeling. 404 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.199 The only reason why I say that is because they built that pro style 405 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:07.199 NHL size hockey rink that has the arena to set up to fifteen thousand, 406 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:09.679 which is actually yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you. I'm saying 407 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:15.119 they had the facility ready, But at the same time, Utah still has 408 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:21.159 the facility ready because Salt Lake posted the Olympics and they have that building sitting 409 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.760 there just being used for youth sports. Yeah yeah, hey, can I 410 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.320 can I interject? I just want to mention one. You know Ken Call, 411 00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.119 who's the voice of the Red Wings on radio. This is what he 412 00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:38.840 said today. He says, I'm sad that the Coyotes are leaving Arizona. 413 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:45.159 It was a great place to be, especially if you had an off day 414 00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.880 in March. You could go to a Cactus League baseball game. The weather 415 00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:53.199 was great, lots of places to eat too. I'm gonna miss it, 416 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:57.880 right. I thought that was interesting. Yeah, the voice of the Red 417 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:05.519 Wings. You know who I feel sad for. I feel sad for the 418 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:09.199 fans of Arizona, the fans that supported them. I mean, they're not 419 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:13.559 going to reach into their pocket and build a stadium or anything like that, 420 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.960 but I feel bad for those fans. I feel bad for any fans that 421 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:22.679 actually support the team that they lose, because, let's face it, there 422 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:27.480 have been NFL teams that have jumped shift and moved. There have been NBA 423 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:35.400 teams that have moved. There have been NHLA that have lost teams, and 424 00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.239 I feel bad for those fans. That's who I really feel bad for because 425 00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:44.079 this is a business and I get that, and there's owners out there that 426 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:52.320 are making millions, not billions of dollars. But it's the the family of 427 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:58.800 four that now they don't have a team to go to, they'll have to 428 00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.000 travel if they wanted to go to it. You know, those are the 429 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:09.679 people I feel. That's true, that's true. You know the economics of 430 00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.280 the city. You know, you had an NHL, people might go to 431 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:21.119 that to see you know. You hear of One of my biggest regrets I 432 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:25.559 would say is my dad and I had started to at one point we went 433 00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.559 to all the big ten football stadiums to a bunch of them. We never 434 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:34.039 got to all of them, you know. And so you hear of these 435 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:40.480 families or the father son or father daughter that go to all of the NBA 436 00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:46.719 NBA facilities, or all of the NHL facilities, or all the m MLB 437 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:51.760 facilities or the NHL. They want to visit all the different teams and stuff 438 00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:57.960 like that. So there's an economic impact that Arizona will feel because people will 439 00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:02.639 not be going there and spend money at the restaurants around where the stadium is 440 00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:10.559 now in that so it'll be interesting. It'll be interesting, but I do 441 00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:16.280 feel bad for those those those fans. Yeah, Mike, Robert Lardell says, 442 00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.159 you know, NBA stole my Sonics, and there's another team, you 443 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.280 know, the Seattle SuperSonics all those years succeeded. I mean maybe not to 444 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.199 an extreme degree, but they succeeded. And like you said, Gandhy and 445 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.320 Jeremy, they've got strong fan base and all that. And that's another city 446 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.679 that was vacated, just like we mentioned Kansas City and hockey and uh. 447 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:44.239 And then don't forget Oakland what they've gone through with losing the Raiders more than 448 00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:47.280 once in the NFL. And uh, you know several other teams of course 449 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:52.280 to Saint Louis. You know, the the the Rams abandoned Saint Louis. 450 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.320 You know, even after they won a Super Bowl, And think about it, 451 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:00.400 Saint Louis has been abandoned twice. That's right, the Cardinals. Saint 452 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:06.480 Louis was the second team that the card the second city that the Cardinals went 453 00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.880 to, was there for decades, then all of a sudden, we're going 454 00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:15.920 to Arizona. Then the La Rams wasn't getting the attendance at the coliseum needed 455 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:21.400 to be able to help upkeep, but USC and UCLA was so they moved 456 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:27.480 out to Saint Louis and then they they sell out because the kids didn't want 457 00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:31.000 to have anything to do with running a football team, which is idiotic, 458 00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:36.519 and they said, oh, sell it to a guy that's in LA. 459 00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:40.559 He builds a big place outside the city. It's actually hard to get to. 460 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.320 The Sofi Stadium is not even close. It's in actually Orange County. 461 00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:51.880 It's not even in the Los Angeles area. So you got to commute, 462 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:57.559 if the traffic's good, an hour just to get there. Yeah, the 463 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:01.119 traffic's bad, it might take you three hours. Oh my. I feel 464 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.519 sorry for the Saint Louis and I have the feeling if there's ever an expansion 465 00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:09.480 team, Saint Louis and Albuquerque New Mexico will get it because Albuquerque New Mexico 466 00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:15.440 ever since that's been Jeff Bezos headquarters is actually a booming city and gaining in 467 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:22.679 population, and that would be two cities prime to add expansion teams in the 468 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:30.880 NFL. Yeah. Interesting, Okay, Well, any other topics you guys 469 00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:35.719 want to bring up, because I know iased have to do my town segments. 470 00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:45.400 So George, what has happened? Well, as Jeremy knows, we 471 00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.719 got two things that are prominent in the sports world, and one would be 472 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:54.039 the Red Wings. And how sad to see the Red Wings miss the playoffs. 473 00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:59.719 But I'm sorry they have only themselves to blame. I mean, you 474 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.719 can not go through a season with long losing streaks like they did on a 475 00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:08.159 couple of occasions, six to seven game losing strikes and then expect to just 476 00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:12.760 try to, you know, edge your way in at the very end. 477 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:17.239 Now, I'm taking nothing away from those dramatic come from behind wins this past 478 00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:22.639 week. It was so exciting, you know, both on the road and 479 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:30.079 at home. And it's what it was bittersweet because your fan base has been 480 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.800 waiting seven eight years for the Red Wings to get back to the playoffs and 481 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.440 they came so close. And you talk about the fans, those are the 482 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:42.559 ones I feel for because, like you said before, Candy, and you 483 00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:45.800 know, they're paying these stalaries, they're paying the high prices. They're paying 484 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:49.719 to take their families to a game and have a good restaurant a beer two 485 00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:53.320 or pizza or whatever they're gonna have. But the Red Wings came also close, 486 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:59.519 and that really really was hard to take. Washington Capitals, of course, 487 00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:01.360 they did it fair and square and they got in ahead of Detroit. 488 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:07.760 But it was a very very sad last couple of days here in Detroit because 489 00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:12.400 of that situation. I for one, think that it was a good sign. 490 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.840 It was positive. They haven't been competing in the spring for god knows 491 00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:21.920 how many years, you know, not even had a chance to go down 492 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:24.679 to the wire. So it'll be interesting to see what they do in the 493 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:30.880 offseason. Because Steve Eiserman picked up a lot of veteran players last year during 494 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.800 free agency. I'm not quite so sure how much he's going to do this 495 00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:39.239 year or if all those guys they all won't come back. But if he 496 00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:45.199 wants to even keep all those guys that were just one point shy, that's 497 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:51.519 and so it's the end of hockey in Detroit again for another spring. So 498 00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:57.480 I want to add to that because attention to that, especially at the end. 499 00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.599 And yes, their march was horrible. The Pistons more games than the 500 00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.559 Red Wings in the month of March, granted it was only one, and 501 00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:07.519 they play a lot more games than what the Red Wings do, but still 502 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.519 they want as bad as the Pistons are. They won more games than the 503 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:14.920 Red Wings. That was a good team in the month of March. But 504 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.800 at the same time, when the Philadelphia Flyers found out going into the shootout 505 00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:24.559 or into overtime that the Red Wings had knocked them out of the playoffs, 506 00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:30.760 they pulled their goalie and let the Washington Capitals score a goal in overtime. 507 00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.679 Yeah, that is what kept us out because if there was a loss, 508 00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:42.880 the Red Wings was in. That was what was announced. If there was 509 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.519 a loss that night, because the Capitals had to lose, then the Red 510 00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:50.280 Wings were in. And we won our game. We did the part. 511 00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:53.679 We weren't back going in. We won the game, granted in a shootout, 512 00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.719 but they came back in Red Wing fashion. That's what they'd done. 513 00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:07.440 That second period is awful, and it's mostly if you look at it, 514 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:13.199 look at our defenseman. We have a good one and an OK one on 515 00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:16.079 the front line. In the middle two lines we got mediocre to awfl and 516 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:20.000 then we got a good one and an OK one on the grind line. 517 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.760 We don't have anybody for the second and third lines on defense, which is 518 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:34.119 why our goalies looked like chippoopoo. Yeah, good point. Mm hmm. 519 00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:42.039 Sheila Ford Hamp comes out and says, twenty twenty three was phase one of 520 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:45.239 completing the rebuild. It was winning the division and going far into the playoffs, 521 00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:51.280 and they managed to do that. They played their third game in the 522 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:58.639 playoffs since they were world championships, I mean since nineteen fifty seven, people, 523 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:07.320 and now phase two, twenty twenty four. She didn't say, she 524 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:12.239 promised, so don't put those words in her mouth. She said. The 525 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:19.360 goal is the super is the Lombardi Trophy. And their mantra this last year 526 00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:24.960 is it takes more and I pray to God that means more running the football 527 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:34.679 in the third quarter. Yeah, so in the and as far as anyone's 528 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:40.400 concerned, as you all know last year when we drafted Hendon Hooker because I 529 00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:45.639 projected it on Thanksgiving before the season even ended, as soon as he was 530 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:50.679 hurt, and who we hired as an assistant coach, the Hendon Hooker would 531 00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:54.440 be a lion if he was there in the third round. The Hendon Hooker 532 00:45:54.519 --> 00:46:02.320 jersey I bought was a throwback. It was a black I had it custom 533 00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:14.239 made on purpose because I knew for coming back. There you go. So 534 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:22.320 my town. Well, we were talking about the transfer portal on Pundit's Pundit. 535 00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:34.559 We have now seen both Chucky Hepburn of the Badgers and Oh, I'm 536 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.440 sorry and now I'm gonna forget his name. He was the kid that came 537 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:44.599 to us from New Jersey. They both have entered the transfer portal. Oh 538 00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:54.519 what's his name? I'm sorry, guys, Storks Stokes. As we have 539 00:46:54.639 --> 00:47:04.400 talked about with the transfer portal, you are not only recruiting players outside your 540 00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:13.719 program, you are recruiting your program as well. Wisconsin, you need to 541 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:19.920 do something because if you want to stay relevant and you want to stay and 542 00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:23.639 I'm not going to say what that is because i don't know if Greg Guard 543 00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:30.599 is the answer or not anymore, because we seem to have fallen down a 544 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:35.239 little bit the days of Bo Ryan. You know, we need a good 545 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:40.519 coach, strong coach like that back. But what I will say is that 546 00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:49.960 to all of the athletes that are doing all these transfers, just make sure 547 00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:53.400 that the decision is good for you. And that's what I'm going to say, 548 00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:58.119 that it's the right decision for you and that you're making the decision for 549 00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:02.159 the right reasons. I'm not saying saying Wisconsin is the best collegiate school, 550 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.000 and I will say that I do know that there are some in the Big 551 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:14.519 Ten have higher standards than other schools, So I do know sometimes it's harder 552 00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:22.280 to recruit some some of the talents. But kids, just make sure that 553 00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:30.760 you're doing that right decision for you. Let's yeah, Michigan surprisingly dodging big 554 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:37.840 losses three years of probation. Wisconsin should have a good selling platform. They've 555 00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:43.039 been a cream of the division for years. Yeah, we've had We've had 556 00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:52.599 some good coaches and stuff like that. But the other thing I will say 557 00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:57.119 is good luck to the Bucks. The Bucks that are in the playoffs, 558 00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:02.199 although they're having some injuries right now. Giannis of course, and the Brewers 559 00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:07.760 knock On Wood are the top of the division right now, and yes they 560 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.119 are ahead of the Cubs, even though it's only about a half game. 561 00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:22.079 But losing our coach to the Cubbies, mister Craig Council right now, is 562 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.519 not as big of a factor as maybe some of us might have thought. 563 00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:31.639 But I do say kudos to Jackson Curio. He is a rookie that got 564 00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:36.920 a big contract, so he is not considered a rookie, so he cannot 565 00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:40.840 win Rookie of the Year because they signed him to a contract before the season, 566 00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:46.480 and yet he has hit I want to say, like thirteen home runs 567 00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:52.880 and so many games. So why couldn't the Brewers and the NL back when 568 00:49:53.000 --> 00:50:05.199 Robinot kept kicking our because they they were they they were moved. When who 569 00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.159 was the team that? Who got the team that then they moved? It 570 00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:15.920 was back you talked about Seattle Pilots. Well, no, the Brewers moved 571 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:21.280 from the American League to the National League because there was another team that they 572 00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:28.280 formed, drawing the American legue. I was going to say the Astros exactly, 573 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.639 which is great because they have a big rivalry now with Texas Rangers. 574 00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.519 Yeah, and Milwaukee they had that National League heritage, remember with Henry Aaron 575 00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:44.239 yep, and then they went to Atlanta they went wasn't it the Milwaukee Braves 576 00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:51.239 and then it came the Renville Jeremy Yeah, and then the Brewers got the 577 00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:54.760 team because yeah, they moved from Seattle. Yeah right, yep, and 578 00:50:55.159 --> 00:51:00.760 Seattle Pilots came from Washington that was the Senate. No, Now, the 579 00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:08.039 Senators moved to Texas to become the Rangers, and then there was always a 580 00:51:08.079 --> 00:51:16.199 Senators team, but it was there originally, not uh Montreal exposed. Now 581 00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:23.559 they moved mm hmmm, became the what the Washington Nationals? I think so 582 00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:29.880 yeah. I think they became the San Diego Padres because all they did was 583 00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:35.519 changed the look of the Senator logo to become the Padres. And then the 584 00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:40.400 Nationals went in because they didn't have a team forever. I don't I think 585 00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:45.000 it was no. I thought it was the Well, we'll get it, 586 00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:50.639 we'll get it straight. But I'm pretty sure Washington moved to Texas because I 587 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:57.400 remember it. Ted Williams was the manager of the Washington Senators and then I 588 00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.920 remember seeing him in the Texas Rangers unit. I'm pretty sure, but we'll 589 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:04.719 check on that. There's been a lot of hopscotching around. It's hard to 590 00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:07.039 keep track of all that. You're right, there's so much of it going 591 00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:12.559 on. There's been so many move major leagues had more movement than the NFL, 592 00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:15.599 and the NFL's had a lot. Yeah. I remember at one time 593 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:20.360 Cleveland became the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Colts became the Indianapolis Colts are still 594 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:29.320 there team and then became the Bears. Toiler's moved to Tennessee. Right. 595 00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:34.000 Yeah, the Houston has a team again in the Texans, and I actually 596 00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:38.119 like the current version better than the Oilers. Yeah, I'm saying they look 597 00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:44.320 good. And they did the Madden AI projection prior to the draft. And 598 00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:51.519 guess who's in the Super Bowl? Houston Texans. Oh, come on Detroit 599 00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:58.960 yep, oh man, that would be something. The Detroit Lions was originally 600 00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:05.119 uh founded in nineteen thirty as the Portsmouth Funtains. Yeah from Ohio. Correct, 601 00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:10.000 But the Arizona Cardinals was the very first established pro league dean prior to 602 00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:15.320 the NFL even being made. It was established in eighteen ninety six. Wow, 603 00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:22.360 that's a long time ago. Mm hmm. Okay, that's all I 604 00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:28.320 got. You know what, That's all I've got. Let's go over how 605 00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:30.840 people can get a hold of us. So, George, why don't you 606 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.440 go ahead and start.

I'm king in the journal, the group, but I'm working 625 00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:05.599 on it. I'm getting better all the time. I'm told, have you 626 00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:12.280 much late lately, Candy, no good. I've been working on the grammar 627 00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:15.400 and writing writing out one, two, three, four, five, six 628 00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:21.440 seventy nine mm hmm. Other than that, you can find me on my 629 00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:24.440 channel. I'm live eight times a week, three primetime shows at nine pm 630 00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:29.079 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday being the NFL show called the Roundtable 631 00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:32.079 Talk. The rest of them our Lions Talk was smoking Jeremy b At eleven 632 00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:37.360 am Monday through Friday. I talked for our minimum today. It went an 633 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.320 hour and a half because it was just a ball in the chat and somebody 634 00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:44.239 asked me why I got into it, so I actually laid it all on 635 00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:46.840 the table. I told the whole sad start to the story to when I 636 00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:55.320 started it. And you know, with what's happening this year, it's now 637 00:55:55.400 --> 00:56:00.639 one of those old after school special made for TV movies type that we used 638 00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:06.639 to see as a kid. You don't see anymore. And yes, James 639 00:56:06.679 --> 00:56:09.199 Burgess says he still says naughty things on his main channel. Yes, I 640 00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:14.039 do, just not as much as I used to. But if somebody pokes 641 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:21.519 the bear, they get the teeth. That's all I got to say. 642 00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:28.400 Yes, but you do podcasting right your own channel. Yeah, that's what 643 00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:31.239 I was talking about, but I didn't name it. Motor City Me cat 644 00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:37.159 fighting with the Motor City Lions. Yes, yes, yes, Scott is 645 00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:42.320 normally not on this show, but we still promote him because he's the whole 646 00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:45.480 reason why we all are here together. On the South Florida Tribute YouTube channel, 647 00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:49.920 he wrote this book. Sorry, Jeremy, you probably are lifting it 648 00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:52.599 up and no one can see it right now. Lessons from the microphone tuning 649 00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:59.119 into the enduring wisdom of visionary leaders.

It's not as easy to coordinate that. 653 00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:22.960 But there's a picture of Scott with like young, young, young Tommy 654 00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:28.000 Lesorda young Muhammad Ali. But Scott is a good storyteller and he's not got 655 00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:32.000 all kinds of stories to talk tell about his time in the media business and 656 00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:36.679 how the media has changed over his forty plus years in the business.
