<v Speaker 2>feeling as much as it's gonna pain you, you may

19
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>have to dish out of how that tastes your you know,

20
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma women's softball team.

21
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the curse of Taco Bob is what it is.

22
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Man hit him with it, Hit him with it.

23
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Taco Bob predicted Oklahoma was gonna win their fifth straight

24
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>national championship. Of course he always picks the favorite. Well,

25
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 3>guess what. Texas Tech, fueled by nil money, beat the

26
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 3>Oklahoma Sooners last night three to two in the Women's

27
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 3>College World Series. The Sooners did not go down without

28
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 3>a fight. They hit a home run in the last

29
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>and he tied it up with the Texas Tech wins

30
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 3>it in the bottom half of the inning. Wow, Texas Tech,

31
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 3>what a story they are. They've got this booster up

32
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 3>at Texas Tech. Was it Cody Campbell's name. He's like

33
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 3>this billionaire natural gas baron in Texas. In Texas, he

34
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 3>went to Texas Tech letterd in football. There, he's a billionaire.

35
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 3>He is pumping all sorts of money into the Texas

36
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Tech athletic program, including the softball program, their star player,

37
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 3>their pitcher, a transfer from Canada, and the Jerry Kennedy

38
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 3>a transfer from Stanford. I mean the Jerry Kennedy a

39
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 3>million dollars uh nil deal for one season this year.

40
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>That's how we do it.

41
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 3>She's pitched every pitch in the College World Series and

42
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>she's the major reason why they are playing for the

43
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 3>national championship against Texas And watch I'm gonna tell you, guys,

44
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 3>this Texas texts football program. Because of this, Cody Campbell

45
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>guy signed the number one transfer portal class in the country. Uh,

46
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 3>watch out for them in college football this year. They

47
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 3>could compete for the national championship in college football as well.

48
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>So I guess we're not going to get a how

49
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>that taste? Yeah?

50
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Have that taste?

51
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh that was not very aggressive, not very emphatic. Hey,

52
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>got a question for you boys all. But you know

53
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>how I only know bits and pieces. I'm sure you

54
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>know that dog, but it picked up on Pat knows

55
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>that it's bits and pa. So what is it with

56
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 1>this FBI investigating baseball or nil or something like that?

57
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>You heard anything about it?

58
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>I investigating baseball. Go ahead and google that and you'll

59
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>have a story in a couple of days, you know,

60
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>breaking news. Bob name, do you know anything about that? Lynch?

61
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm assuming one of his sports circle buddies put

62
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>this in their group text and Bob has picked up

63
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>on it in group text.

64
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I was watching a little sports action and.

65
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>What about what about over in college baseball? Bulldog?

66
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, the major story in the state is Gator baseball

67
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 3>coach Kevin O'Sullivan. I don't know if you guys saw

68
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 3>the viral profane rant over the weekend. So the Gators

69
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 3>were playing in a regional up and Coastal Carolina, and

70
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 3>the previous night's game between East Carolina and whoever they

71
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 3>were playing went late, so they pushed the game the

72
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 3>the after the morning game back in an hour because

73
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 3>East Carolina finished like past midnight. In Kevin O'Sullivan just

74
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 3>went on this f this f that rant that was

75
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 3>caught on video, of course, and he had to apologize yesterday.

76
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 3>The athletic director at Florida, Scott Strickland, apologized yesterday. If

77
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 3>you haven't seen this video, go watch it. I mean

78
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 3>it was. It was the most childish thing you've ever seen.

79
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 3>And Kevin O'Sullivan should be ashamed of The Coastal Carolina

80
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>coach just ripped him a new one. Uh after the game.

81
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>So that was Meanwhile, Miami moves on to a super

82
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 2>regional along with Florida State.

83
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 3>That's right, Miami and Florida State both in the super regional.

84
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Of course, the Gators didn't make it, which is why,

85
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>probably why Kevin O'Sullivan is such a jerk. But yeah,

86
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 3>so good for Florida State and Miami. By the way,

87
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 3>would you like to see Florida State finally win a

88
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 3>College World Series? They didn't do it all those years

89
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 3>under Mike Martin. Remember I think he was Oh, I

90
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 3>think he went to the College World Series seventeen times

91
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 3>and never won. So it'd be great for Link Jarrett,

92
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 3>the new Florida State baseball coach, to win a national

93
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 3>title for the summer.

94
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Bulldog, I thought, you know, since we're waiting on

95
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the start of the championship rounds for hockey and basketball tonight,

96
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>this morning might be a good spot where I could

97
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 2>bring this up. And I do not mean to blindside you.

98
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Will put you on the spot with this, and I

99
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>get a question for you. Have you watched the Dale

100
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Earnhardt four part documentary on Amazon Prime yet?

101
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>I have not, but I want to watch.

102
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you ask In the fourth part, the final part,

103
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>which focuses on the tragic day at the Daytona five

104
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 2>hundred back in two thousand and one, which took the

105
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>legend's life. They brought up a very painful memory that

106
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I quite honestly had forgotten about, and I thought, who

107
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>better to ask than you? The Orlando Sentinel, which you

108
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>were a fairly new employee at at the time, and

109
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>their lawsuit to try to get access to autopsy photos.

110
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, I remember that. In fact, I wrote an obituary

111
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 3>on Ed Hinton, the legendary former Sentinel NASCAR writer who

112
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 3>died a few months ago.

113
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Go read it.

114
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I went into all of what happened back then. The

115
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Sentinel did a six month investigation before Dale Earnhardt died.

116
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Leading up to that Daytona five hundred on NASCAR had

117
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 3>just totally dropped the ball on safety in their sport.

118
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 3>Three drivers in the previous months had died on the track,

119
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 3>including Adam Petty, the grandson of Richard Petty, who was

120
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 3>going to be a great, great driver. And the Sentinel

121
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 3>did this investigation, led by Ed Hinton, and you know,

122
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 3>NASCAR pushedback, said Hinton was full of crap, said the

123
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Sentinel was full of crap. You know, their facts were

124
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 3>all wrong. And then what happens, Dale Earnhardt dies at

125
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 3>the Daytona five hundred and boom, just like that, the

126
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 3>scenario change. Yes, the Sentinel did request the autopsy photos

127
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 3>and any you know, and the the propaganda out there

128
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 3>back then was, oh, the Sentinel wants to print these

129
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.920
<v Speaker 3>autopsy photos. That was never the intention of what the

130
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 3>Sentinel was trying to do. In fact, the Sentinel got

131
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 3>the autopsy photos. They had a settlement with Teresa Earnhardt,

132
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 3>they got the autopsy photos. The reason they wanted to

133
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 3>get the autopsy photos was because they wanted to show

134
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>the photos to an independent medical expert at Duke who

135
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 3>could look at the photos and explain why Dale Earnhardt

136
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 3>died because the Sentinel did not trust NASCAR, all right,

137
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 3>And the guy looked at the photos and yes, Dale

138
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Earnhardt died of the same basil I think was Bassilor's

139
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 3>skull fracture that Adam Petty and the other drivers had

140
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 3>died from. And guess what, NASCAR immediately changed it stance

141
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 3>and a driver has not died on the track ever since.

142
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>So anybody who wants to portray the Sentinel, is this

143
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>gruesome trying to print the photos. That was never the

144
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>intention the Sentinel, in my opinion, along with Dale Earnhardt's death,

145
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>is the reason NASCAR is a much safer sport today.

146
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, that's why I wanted to throw it

147
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>squarely into your court to have a comment on in

148
