WEBVTT 1 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.519 Where are we at in society today? Come after me. I'm a man, 2 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.679 I'm forty. Go ahead, make my day every single week. I 3 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.280 put my freaking heart and soul into this. I don't go out there and 4 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.479 laugh. It's not funny. Nothing's funny to me. I don't wanna go 5 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.280 out there and get embarrassed on Monday night football fund everybody. I think this 6 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.679 is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. So I ain't nothing changed from yesterday. 7 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.799 Still the same person I was yesterday, and I got the same thing 8 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.799 for you that I had yesterday. You know why I'm here. You play 9 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.399 to win the day. You don't play to just play it. That's a 10 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.640 great thing about sports. You play to win, and I don't care if 11 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.680 you don't have any wins. You go play to win. When you start 12 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:11.200 telling me it doesn't matter, can retire, get out because it matters. 13 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:25.599 Alrighty, Good morning, everybody, May twenty third. Here on x'es and 14 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:32.159 bros. I'm Tennis Fithian back in for Matt Shephard. A pinch hit a 15 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.359 few times, a couple times in April around the draft, and then one 16 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.599 time a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm back. It's great to 17 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.400 be here, thanks for joining us, and we're ready to kick this one 18 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.120 off at six o'clock in the morning, broadcasting across the state of Michigan, 19 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:57.560 technically a couple of minutes best six o'clock. We've got Eastern Conference playoffs to 20 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.799 talk about, Western Conference playoffs to talk about in both the NHL and the 21 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:09.280 NBA. And we've got the Tigers, which are still top of mind because 22 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.759 there what's going on. I talk about OTAs, which you know you're never 23 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:22.319 too far away from, you know, thinking about football, college or pro, 24 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.919 and you do see the pictures and you hear like, oh, what's 25 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.879 going on with the Lions Organized team activities? That's where we're at when you 26 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:36.800 creep close to and we're pretty much right there. Some people this could be 27 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.639 their getaway day. In terms of the holiday weekend, when you have Memorial 28 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:49.599 Weekend on Monday, it's it's nice planning if you if you get that Friday 29 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.199 off, that's nice. At that Friday off, get a four day weekend. 30 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.280 So now you might be driving in today thinking, uh, all right, 31 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.039 I'm ready to attack this one and just get to these four days a 32 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.439 little rest and relaxation and there'll be a lot of things to watch, always 33 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:13.479 is when you're getting into Memorial Weekend as a sports fan. But I'll start 34 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.400 it out. You probably know about the Tigers, and there was a fun 35 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.120 to talk about. It's exciting to talk about. It's interesting when the Tigers 36 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:29.759 are doing well and you know they've got something where you're looking at where you 37 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:36.719 feel good about the immediate future and then the future and then I you know, 38 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.080 they're just in a rough stretch right now. I mean it's I don't 39 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.520 know, you're looking for a nice way to say it, that's it a 40 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.199 rough stretch. If you're looking for another way to say it, you could 41 00:03:50.240 --> 00:04:00.840 just say this team is now collapsed and they won't see five hundred again gone 42 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.159 South. They've lost four straight and if this season is over now, I'm 43 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.199 not quite ready to, you know, punch them out. They've got a 44 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.879 series coming up, they come home, limp home. They've got a six 45 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.240 game home stand. But they've got a very beatable Blue Jays team. They've 46 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:30.279 got the Pirates who are coming in after them, and statistically, I mean, 47 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.319 any really, anyway you want to look at it, you know, 48 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.079 the Jays when you say they're beatable, like the Jays. They don't have 49 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:43.600 a very good record. They're in last place in the AL East and now 50 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:50.319 the Tigers, while hitting remains their number one issue, they're thirteenth out of 51 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.680 fifteenth and ops and the AL. The Jays are right behind them. They're 52 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.639 twelve out of fifteen the Tigers fourteen fifteen of the AL and home runs. 53 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:11.040 Jay's right behind him there. So it's a series where you're thinking that they 54 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.680 can come back. They've got four. If you could get a three out 55 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:21.439 of four, then you could at least feel like you're steering back and you 56 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:29.519 might be able to push this one forward a little bit. I always think, 57 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.319 you know when you have a Memorial Weekend. I'm always like, I 58 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.560 know. Sparky Anderson, the former Tigers manager, used to have the forty 59 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.560 gay mark where he said, you don't know anything about the team until forty 60 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:46.399 games. I always like the holidays with the baseball season, whether it's the 61 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:53.959 weekend or the actual day, to take a good litmus test on where you're 62 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.560 at. And you got Memorial Weekend coming out Monday. Memorial Day comes early 63 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.560 this year, a time to take a look at him. So you got 64 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.000 a couple of games if it was today, it would again be one of 65 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:15.120 those things where maybe the nice thing you could say is that you know they're 66 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.160 not out of it. And when you say it, like, what are 67 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.319 we even talking about? I think it's talking about the Central Look at the 68 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.920 team that they just got beat by Kansas City. It's not like anybody was 69 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.959 looking at Kansas City thinking oh yeah, Or even if you go further south 70 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:40.199 and you look at Cleveland. I don't believe in Cleveland they've been just coming 71 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.040 up big. You got to give them credit from where they're at right now. 72 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.600 But no that I don't know say that could easily be the Tigers. 73 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.600 But oh Cleveland has been a surprise. So we'll did talk a little bit 74 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.480 about the Tigers. I want to I'm gonna put a question out there. 75 00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.160 You know, I was looking. We are on the Michigan Sports Network reaching 76 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:10.079 across the state of Michigan, and I just wanted to you want to talk 77 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.920 about the Tigers, certainly, but I'm going to ask you this question to 78 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.120 see just where we're at in the state and who we're dealing with out there 79 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.399 in terms of the people and the audience. I was gonna ask you about 80 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:31.600 a player a player of note that you saw in person before they went pro 81 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.079 in baseball. So we're talking about high school. Yeah, give me a 82 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:44.560 high school baseball player, someone that our audience would know and that you saw 83 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.079 in person in the seven o'clock hour. I was just thinking about this. 84 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:57.240 I have not seen a high school baseball game in twenty five years, and 85 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:03.279 I've only seen one since I've been out of high school. But it was 86 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.000 a noteworthy game, and it is some It was a noteworthy person. I 87 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.759 think everybody that's listening right now will know the person. And there's a little 88 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.839 bit of it, I'll say, a nice little story that goes along with 89 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.879 it. So I'll give you that in the seven o'clock hour. So if 90 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.800 you have somebody like that, you say, oh, yeah, you know 91 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.079 the one time I saw this catcher and you know he went on play with 92 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.800 the Tigers and he smashed four home runs, or those particular pitchers from my 93 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.159 hometown. That's the kind of thing that we're looking for. If you wanted 94 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:41.360 to get in in this first hour on X's and Pros eight six six eight 95 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.159 three, eight forty eight forty three on the Meyer Hotline, you know it 96 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.720 eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. Also go ahead, 97 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.679 and it might not work as much when you're giving us that baseball player if 98 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.480 you say the player and we don't know who they are, but you can 99 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.200 use that text. You could give it an attempt. There not everybody able 100 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.000 to dial up and get in. You could text sports Radio to twenty one 101 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.720 thousand, Sports Radio to twenty one thousand coming back. I look a little 102 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.759 closer at what happened last night in the playoffs Panthers blank and the Rangers. 103 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.840 The MAVs take game one of the Western Conference Finals in the NBA. I'll 104 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:30.080 dive into those a little bit and we'll get you going on some football as 105 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.759 well as we'll look ahead and spin it forward.

You're just getting up, like, yeah, it feels 131 00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:00.039 like summer. It has felt like summer. Talk a little bit about the 132 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:09.120 playoffs in both hockey and basketball in this segment. If you like drama, 133 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:16.080 A story too Ridiculous to be true was dug up again here locally this week. 134 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:24.360 We'll visit that coming up at six thirty six. Now, I've asked 135 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:31.799 you the question about baseball high school baseball as we broadcast across the state of 136 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.720 Michigan. And this for me is just to get a feel of where you 137 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.720 are all at in the state. Asking you a player that you saw in 138 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.960 high school, of note you saw him in person, you got a story, 139 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.840 and we want you to dial up and tell us our audience would be 140 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.080 interested in that. I would be interested in that. Grab that phone eight 141 00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.960 six six eight three eight forty eight four three. That's the Meyer Hotline eight 142 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:07.720 six six eight three eight four eight four three or Tech Sports Radio to twenty 143 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.519 one thousand. That's the way to get that done. I'll give you my 144 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:18.320 story coming up at seven oh one. Now, you had the Eastern Conference 145 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.440 getting underway in hockey last night in New York and in Minnesota. I had 146 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.720 the Western Conference Finals in the NBA. Let's start there. That was a 147 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.960 tight one, that was the closer of the two games, and it ends 148 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:41.759 up going to the visiting MAVs. And it could be a little frustrating, 149 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:48.240 I think, maybe annoying. It's predictable, but this has been going on 150 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.240 for a long time. Whatever happens the players, it's like a referendum the 151 00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:00.399 other players or you're you're pushing these narratives of just like Anthony, he had 152 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.960 words he's going to be the next short Eyes is so incredible. He did 153 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.480 an average game last night and they lost. But you're already I do the 154 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.279 same thing. We're all looking for of things of interest to talk about, 155 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.960 and you're already saying, well, if he wins the title, he will 156 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.639 be well, you know, he's got a long way to go before he 157 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:24.600 wins the title. And then when you lose game one, you're that story 158 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.440 gets smaller and smaller and small. The the story of last night's game is 159 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:35.320 the the Mavericks win it. One. Five was the one two punch of 160 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:46.559 Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. And I think of this particular series, I 161 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.840 look at it through a Piston's lens, and I know it's hard to do. 162 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.159 If the Pistons have had so little success. They say, is there 163 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.159 any kind of blueprint? Is there anything that you can learn if you're a 164 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:09.039 struggling NBA franchise to one day you'll be in the Eastern Conference Finals. And 165 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.600 to me, that answer is it's pretty easy. And then you look at 166 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.600 it and you say, you got to take your one shot, and getting 167 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.440 Luka Dancic was the way to go clearly for the MAVs, and he did 168 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:33.799 not play fantastic through the first three quarters, but then, as superstars do, 169 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.120 he has step up big in the fourth quarter, and that's exactly what 170 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:43.240 he did. Fifteen points, some big shots down the stretch. But then 171 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.960 there's Kyrie Irving. Now, Kyrie Irving is a superstar himself. He's one 172 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.559 of the great players. He's a Hall of Famer. And yet we have 173 00:15:50.720 --> 00:16:00.480 seen since he bugged out of Cleveland and he was in Boston for a and 174 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.039 he looked fabulous, and then it wasn't right. And then it was, 175 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.639 you know, orchestrating himself to Brooklyn. Was there another stop in between there? 176 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.960 I don't think so. But then it really went all wrong when he, 177 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.840 you know, got the I'm gonna get another super team and get it 178 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.519 together, you know, to go in Brooklyn. So when the MAVs picked 179 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.639 up Kyrie Irving, I looked at it like, you know, this is 180 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.440 this isn't gonna work out. You know, Kyrie, it might work out 181 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.600 for a month or two, but in the end, it's not gonna work 182 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:38.559 out because it doesn't work out with Kyrie Irving. He's just it's you put 183 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:44.279 him up to like the modern superstar. Whatever's wrong? I mean you could 184 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:49.600 say he's I'd say before these playoffs, if we were having a conversation, 185 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.039 who's that player that you say, that's everything that's wrong? With basketball, 186 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.840 and let's go to the first caller. How about Kyrie Irving. He he 187 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.879 didn't seem like he has a sense of team. He just seems like he's 188 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.359 in his old world. This seems like he's playing for a paycheck wherever he's 189 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.039 going. You know, it's been a disaster since he was with Cleveland, 190 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.640 and I'd say, you know what, you're right, But the Mavericks, 191 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:21.799 you know, they took a gamble where they didn't think Jalen Brunson was that 192 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:29.720 guy, and so then they had to resort to get somebody for Luka Dancic 193 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.400 or doncs just want to be out of there, and they went to Kyrie 194 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.400 Irving. And Kyrie Irving has been fabulous really all year long for the MAVs. 195 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.559 Last night he scored twenty four in the first half. He did not 196 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:48.160 have in these playoffs. He didn't reach double figures. So that was noteworthy. 197 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.480 And it's noteworthy for me because I watched a little bit of the first 198 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.039 half before I went to bed, and I'm watching Kyrie Iering finish at the 199 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.519 rim using both hands, different feet, off balance all I'm just a wonderful 200 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:06.079 player to watch. And then when you're winning it's extraordinary. You know, 201 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.759 he ends up with thirty and you know the MAVs and a tight one, 202 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:19.359 but it's the Mavericks who who gambled and in one right now with Kyrie Irving 203 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:25.359 and on the other side the t Wolves gambled. They went out there. 204 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:33.599 There wasn't one person that I thought when I saw the trade where Rudy Gobert 205 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.079 went to the t Wolves, there wasn't one person, and myself included, 206 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.920 I thought, oh, that's a great trade. It's even a good trade 207 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.799 that look like a horrible trade. And when I was going to cost the 208 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:51.440 te Wolves and it was the right trade, Gobert wasn't great. Last night 209 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.839 had twelve points. It was more Jaden McDaniels and nas read the sixth Man 210 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:03.759 of the Year and Carl Anthony Towns looking like, you know, he's suddenly 211 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:10.000 got some hops and draining threes from the logo. But that was the gamble 212 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.119 that the the Tea Wolves take. So that's the lens. I look at, 213 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:17.319 are the Pistons ready for some master gamble where they're going to take a 214 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:22.920 player that nobody would say, Oh, that's a good idea, like a 215 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:30.880 superstar who you would think that'd be a a franchise wrecker and or give up 216 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.680 like you would think, way too many assets for just like just a piece 217 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.440 at a superstar piece and very nice defender. Are the Pistons ready for that? 218 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.200 No, you wouldn't be ready for it either. But you know, 219 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.960 just looking at that game last night, you have to think, hey, 220 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.039 could that be? Is that the I don't know, but the way to 221 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.839 go, that's what you have to do. You have to have a gamble, 222 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:03.480 calculated gamble. Now and hockey. The Panthers they go into New York. 223 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:11.400 They beat the Rangers three zip. Sergei Bobrovsky was awesome for the Panthers, 224 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:22.400 Kachuck ver Hagey Bennett an empty netter at the end. And either I 225 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.680 think you know, you have the Rangers mostly when it's New York. I 226 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.599 think, you know, forget it a root against them. But with the 227 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.960 Rangers having been ninety four, what's that that's pretty easy? Twenty years, 228 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:38.160 thirty years. I'm sorry. Since they won the Stanley Cup. They're a 229 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.079 nice story and they're a big name, their digital six and you get the 230 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:47.519 Panthers down there in you know, southern Florida. They're just in the finals. 231 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.119 I could see a lot of people just just hockey fans, and that's 232 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:56.440 root for the Rangers. But the Panthers go in there and steal game one 233 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:03.039 and do it in impressive fashion, getting that goal by Kachuck in the first 234 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.960 period and then away they went. That was the goal that I saw live 235 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:15.240 last night. So there you are with the hockey update, a sports story 236 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.359 that's too ridiculous to be true.

I talked about that you want to jump in 263 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:02.920 on that, you can, So I've got the answer about if you were 264 00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:06.799 thinking about going to one Tigers game the rest of the year, and we're 265 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:12.079 going to get into that drama filled, ridiculous local sports story across Michigan that 266 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:17.160 everybody will know, but it was dug up again this week. I wanted 267 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:23.079 to mention it also. I'm asking you, since we're broadcasting across Michigan, 268 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:30.400 I want trying to get a feel for baseball fans and I went to one 269 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.799 high school baseball game over the past thirty years, but it was noteworthy. 270 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:44.240 Excuse me, and I'm asking you to give us that high school player you 271 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.720 saw in person, someone our audience would know, and if you've got a 272 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.519 story behind it, that would be great. Eight six six eight three eight 273 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.200 forty eight forty three. That's the Myer hotline. Eight sixty six eight three 274 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:02.319 eight four eight four three a text sports radio to twenty one thousand get in 275 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.480 that way. So, if you were thinking about going to one Tigers game 276 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:12.720 and yeah, selling the Tigers after the limp home after getting swept by the 277 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:21.200 Royals in Kansas City twice by eight three scores and then ten three on Tuesday, 278 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.920 might not be the time you're thinking about, Hey, let's get the 279 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:30.000 let's think about going down to a ball game. But if you were thinking 280 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:36.720 about going to a Tigers game, it would actually be I think Wednesday would 281 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:44.039 be the day. Now, it's a six game homestand for the Tigers, 282 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:48.359 and you got the Blue Jays for four. But when you look towards Wednesday, 283 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:56.960 Pittsburgh's coming in for two games, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now why would 284 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.039 anybody want to go see the Pittsburgh Pirates. Oh, if you've been following 285 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:07.400 baseball, you will know that the Pirates. Number one pick was a pitcher 286 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:15.440 last year out of LSU Paul Skeens. And Skeens has come up and he 287 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:23.319 has been as impressive as anyone ever going out and taking the hill. He 288 00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:29.440 had a no hitter his last time out. He was punching guys out left 289 00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.880 and right. In his first start. I just happened to be in front 290 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:33.960 of it. Lucky me. I happened to be in front of the TV 291 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.960 when he made his first start. I saw that. You know, there 292 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.599 was a lot of fan fair about, Hey, you know, the pirates 293 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:48.400 and the schemes, the quickest a number one pick had ever been up to 294 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.400 pitch. And I'm like, checking my TV, is sure enough that game's 295 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.960 on? So I took it in and I was amazed. This guy he's 296 00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.559 you know, he's throwing a hundred. He keep throwing a hundred. But 297 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.000 then his other pitchers, like they're all wipe out, and guys are just 298 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:11.960 flailing up there at the plate. And so you've had other folks who it 299 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.160 was Joey Bado who was like, yeah, it's just like Strasburg when he 300 00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.440 came up, you know, nobody could touch him. Well, I don't 301 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.839 know if that's a glutton for punishment. If you're a Tigers fan, Hey, 302 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:27.599 let's go see a guy that's going against one of the weakest offenses in 303 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:34.160 all of baseball. They want to see the you know, the Tigers going 304 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:41.640 out there and not being able to you know, touch the young fireballer from 305 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.759 the box. You know, Yes, that's what you want to do. 306 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:52.400 You want to see, you want to you like to go out and see 307 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.680 the debut first time. I mean, how many times are you even going 308 00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.599 to have an opportunity if you were a Tigers fan or a baseball fan in 309 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.680 the state of Michigan to see skiings. Yeah, go ahead, drive to 310 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:11.359 Chicago or anything else. But I think I do make a bigger deal than 311 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.440 things like this the debuts than other people. I remember going to the Angels 312 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:26.119 Tigers game when Shohe Otane was making his debut at Comerica Park, and all 313 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.079 day long and the radio show that I had, it's like, oh, 314 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:33.079 Tani, people will be felling up the ballpark. And then I was sitting 315 00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:41.039 there at right before the first pitch and it took the picture of co America 316 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.519 Park, and you know, there was a little there were some storms in 317 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.920 the area. I'm making excuses for the fans, but you know there was 318 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.960 like a just a Tigers weren't very good. It's just a smattering of fans 319 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.319 out there. It's like it could have been any ballgame. People were not 320 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:04.880 making it a point go down to see Otani when he debuted at Comerica Baby 321 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:11.759 I will see if would you know? That would be the interesting part. 322 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.960 If literally, they'll be pumping it up on the broadcast, and once we 323 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:22.559 get into next week, everyone will be zeroing in on schemes and everything else 324 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:27.000 and talking about him. Will it Will it make a difference. That would 325 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.160 be something to keep an eye on. But so that's why if you were 326 00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.799 thinking about going to one game, it might be on Wednesday. Now a 327 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.839 sports story that is too ridiculous to be true that resurfaced again this week and 328 00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:49.039 will resurface at different times for the rest of your life if you're a sports 329 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:56.200 fan and it has to do with Michigan football, Michigan State football, and 330 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:03.880 Central Michigan football. The Spartans athletic director this week, Alan Haller, he 331 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:14.680 came out and said that the Connor Stallions investigation could impact relationship with Central Michigan. 332 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.720 And then you have to make your your you have to have your first 333 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:25.119 reaction, and it could be an eye roll, it could be a fist 334 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:30.559 slamming down on the table, and it could be if you're a Central fan 335 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.880 like kind of looking to one side and looking to the other. It's been 336 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:47.720 almost nine months and nobody really knows what was happening with Stallions? Now I 337 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.039 am I don't know ninety five percent sure. Maybe I should be ninety nine 338 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.440 percent sure. You might be when it's that high. Maybe you're like I 339 00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:00.920 was. Of course Stallions. I've seen so many pictures after I don't know 340 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.920 if they've been touched up, you know different. Uh, you know, 341 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.160 if this was not him? Uh? And I know those are a lot 342 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.839 of Michigan fans, you know, reaching saying that you couldn't one verify him. 343 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:17.480 But you find out that down at Central Michigan, you know, the 344 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:19.200 game was in, he's lancing. You say, well, you know, 345 00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:23.200 let's look at the credential list and let's look for you know, how counter 346 00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:30.160 Stallion's got his sideline pass and he's not there, and you know, so, 347 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:36.240 you know, Michigan state authorities are like, you know, how did 348 00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:42.720 that guy our big rival at football and the centerpiece and the whole signed deal, 349 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.720 how was he down on the sideline? Central? We want answers. 350 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.920 The Central isn't coming up with any answers. I don't think they're head football 351 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.160 coach. I don't think he was aware. These are these are my guesses. 352 00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.240 I you know, I don't think he was like, oh, guy 353 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:06.960 from Michigan watched me on the sideline. Sure one of the coaches able to 354 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.440 slide him in. I don't know. The funny part about it is that 355 00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.319 if it's if it's funny, I think it's at this point, we're into 356 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:20.640 the offseason. It's been almost nine minutes, nine months. It's a little 357 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.079 bit amusing. It reminds me of I don't know, back in the I 358 00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:30.319 think it was the seventies, you had this guy who used to sneak into 359 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:36.279 sporting events, and he was sneaking into big sporting events. I have super 360 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:40.480 Bowl World Series. Did he wear like a rainbow colored wig? I don't 361 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:46.519 even remember what he was. Did he wear a John three sixteen sign to 362 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:52.920 stand out? But that was his thing. It was sneaking in the games. 363 00:32:52.160 --> 00:33:00.240 So the thing with the version that I'm accepting right now is that Michigan 364 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:09.559 State their security allowed Connor Stallions in. He you look at the pictures, 365 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.279 you don't see like a past that he has. Central Michigan they didn't know. 366 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:22.119 So Michigan State didn't know about Stallions being there. Central Michigan apparently didn't 367 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:28.400 know about Stallions being there, and Michigan part of their defense when it came 368 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:32.720 down to all this. Well, you know that Stallions was a lone wolf, 369 00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:38.680 and sure they might have known about him, you know, looking at 370 00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:45.440 videotape and trying to you know, decode some signs too, but they weren't 371 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:51.240 aware that he was sitting in other stadiums and videotaping the sideline. And certainly 372 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:59.799 they weren't aware that he was awareing a a Bobby Valentine or a Groucho march 373 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:07.159 I disguise on the central Michigan sideline along with some night rider vision classes sunglasses 374 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:14.199 at night trying to you know, tape the Michigan State sideline. I just 375 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:22.480 it's it's too ridiculous to be true. Uh, that Stallions was over there, 376 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.079 and it really did look like he had some of those he was testing 377 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:31.320 them out, probably, I guess a lot of guesses, and I suppose, 378 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.079 but central is it coming up with any answers? They might not have 379 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:42.079 any answers, And Michigan State's just got to look at themselves in the mirror 380 00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:49.559 there. Well, there's there's a list, and how is that guy able 381 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.199 to get a sideline passed? They have to ask themselves that question now, 382 00:34:52.199 --> 00:35:00.000 you know, go through in the going through the credentialing process for the opponent. 383 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.599 It could be as easy as, hey, you know, we got 384 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.639 this coach. But you know it's not like you're checking they need a driver's 385 00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.920 license and you know they're cross referencing it, you know, to be able 386 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:16.280 to get the past. It could be again not being familiar with actually how 387 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:22.800 you get those passes when you're on the football staff. It could have been 388 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.840 one of the guys that was on the staff just said, yeah, I 389 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:32.360 need another one for an assistant. I don't know, they did not have 390 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.199 his name. All. That just seems kind of weird. But it just 391 00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:44.119 goes back to this story. It popped up again this week. It'll be 392 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:52.280 talked about for the rest of your life. I know this because Michigan football 393 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:58.400 when they won the championship prior to last year in ninety seven, every year 394 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:04.440 it was talked about, Oh, Charles Woodson, Oh Michigan, you know, 395 00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.280 the whole thing. And that's what happens when you win a championship, 396 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:13.639 that season gets talked about forever. But then this particular championship for Michigan, 397 00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:22.159 it's got the Stallion's part of it. And when it happened, like you 398 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:29.039 to get that there's scandal and however you feel about it, a mountain out 399 00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.280 of a bole hill hammer them, you know, depending on if her a 400 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:37.480 you know Michigan Michigan State fan. I get both sides of that when it 401 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:43.840 comes to the fandom. But in five years, in ten years, or 402 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:50.679 we're going back and remembering the remembering the twenty three season. At some point, 403 00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.280 you know, people sitting around and be like, yeah, you know, 404 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.719 Michigan won in a twenty twenty three and the State fan across the table 405 00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:01.239 will be like, uh yeah about Stallions. Yeah, And then somebody will 406 00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:08.400 say, what about that central game where he was wearing the sunglasses at night 407 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:13.639 and then the picture that they had him at the next game, you know, 408 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.280 clean shaven, and then that particular one, you know he was altering 409 00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:24.079 his appearance, the hat down low, with the night vision GLI or whatever 410 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.159 he was with it with the glasses. I know, there was plenty of 411 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:35.960 folks that say, you know that those glasses they only record for thirty seconds 412 00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:40.039 or whatever else. But you know he could have been when you're in that 413 00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.360 deep the super fan that Michigan hired, when you're in that deep and you 414 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:52.599 know, he was all about reconnaissance and writing manifestos, him thinking part of 415 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.159 his master plan. Let me check out and see and I'm going to be 416 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:05.440 right across the field, let me see how these uh incognito sunglasses at night 417 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:09.920 recording are going to work. So it's it's just ridiculous. But it was 418 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:16.079 brought back up Michigan State strong arming, you know, Central saying we want 419 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:20.039 answers, and I don't know if Central, like they don't know if they 420 00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:24.119 have any answers, and so they're just gonna cut out. They're uh, 421 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:31.119 they're they're mac Brethren right there. From around the way. I mean like 422 00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:37.840 in in southeast Michigan. You know Michigan, you have in Washington County it's 423 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.159 eight miles away. You have Eastern Michigan. There's a little bit of a 424 00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:52.719 relationship there. Heck, when you you are an Eastern student, you many 425 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.639 times go over to ann Arbor for the for some nightlife, and you know, 426 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.440 even vice versa. I don't think, you know, for Michigan State, 427 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.960 that's not that far up a drive. It's not eight miles. I 428 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:10.760 meean East Lansing, but that's like that's like there their team so you got 429 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:19.119 that part with it as well. Let's uh, I found be a little 430 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:28.679 bit interesting on how it goes down. So the whole thing will continue to 431 00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:38.119 be brought up and the whole situation when you start working through it and how 432 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:46.000 you don't have answers. Nobody has any answers, and that's just how it. 433 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:51.639 But it continues on with Michigan State. You know, they brought it 434 00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:58.559 up and at some point it'll be brought back up during the season. I'm 435 00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:05.760 guessing by the nc who's going to come back with whatever findings that they have 436 00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:14.000 and will administer any additional penalties if they see fit. The in Fractions Committee 437 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:19.639 now maybe they will look at it and say, Michigan served a real time 438 00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:23.519 suspension with their head coach in the season at the end of the season, 439 00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:30.280 and that'll be enough. The coach is gone, Stallions has gone. They 440 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:36.039 fired another coach, Partridge, a linebackers coach, you know, with that, 441 00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:39.719 so they've taken some steps. But your guess is almost as good as 442 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:43.760 mine when it comes down to the NCAA. And that's why you have a 443 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.719 lot of sure if you had a Michigan State fan, or if you had 444 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:50.559 a Ohio State fans, and oh, they'll just they're gonna come down smash 445 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.119 Michigan with a hammer or in the season because of all that, because they 446 00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:59.760 can they didn't cooperate, they're gonna hit them. That was the big ten 447 00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.599 that had the three game. There's more suspensions, there's more coming. You 448 00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:07.760 might be right. The NCAA's got a you know, you could. They've 449 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.239 got a lot of fish to fry right now. With everything that's going on, 450 00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:13.760 they might just be ready to like say, okay, you know, 451 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:19.440 we've we've done this. Here's some here's some uh I don't know, small 452 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:22.800 type of penalty. Certainly they could get some money out of Michigan. Maybe 453 00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.960 they would do that, and so away we go. But it'll it'll come 454 00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.000 back again this year. It's not the last time that you've heard you can 455 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:31.480 say, oh my gosh, I'm tired of this story. Well is it 456 00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:36.639 all bubble up here and there for the rest of your life? So you 457 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:40.679 have got that. Now we're looking for that high school baseball player that you 458 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.840 saw. I got mine that I saw with just one game over the past 459 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:51.320 thirty years, but it was noteworthy. And then thinking about a Hall of 460 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:58.280 Famer coming to Detroit. Will you be with it or against it?
