<v Speaker 1>In the Sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>ninety six to nine the Games, Mike the Bulldog beyond

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you on JR R. Dog. We are hoping you're gonna

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>start off with an emphatic come on.

5
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 2>How did that taste? You nailed, bron How did that taste? Luca?

6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>How did that taste? You? Hated Lakers? Yes, Magic statement game.

7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Last night, Welcome to the Night the Magic Kingdom Boys.

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah Yeah.

9
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>On a night Dwight Howard was inducted into the Magic

10
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame. The Franz A and Pallo ban Caro

11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 2>looked like future Hall of famers last night. The Franz

12
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>had thirty two, Pallo had thirty. Magic Club the Lakers

13
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>one eighteen to one oh six. By the way, I

14
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>was there last night. What a crowd. It was a

15
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of Lakers fans are there, by the way, but

16
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a record crowd nineteen thousand and five hundred and thirty eight.

17
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>That place was electric last night. I love seeing the

18
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Magic win, you know that. But it's also beautiful to

19
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>see the hated Lakers struggle the way they are. They

20
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>were destroyed by the Bulls the other night. They were

21
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 2>manhandled by the Magic last night. They're three and seven

22
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>in their last ten games, so the Magic. By the way,

23
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>they've won two in a row now for the first

24
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>time since Christmas. They've won three of four, including statement

25
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>wins over the league leading Cavaliers and the hated Lakers.

26
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>They are just a game and a half behind the

27
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Hawks for the top play in spot. The Magic are Back,

28
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Ladies and genmal with this team, this is a team

29
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>nobody wants to play in the playoffs. I'm declaring it.

30
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>That's my bulldog bite, Magic Are Back. I got a

31
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>bulldog bite. We did we got to how that taste?

32
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>It's what more could you ask for on a Tuesday.

33
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Although I slightly suspect Bulldog may still be operating off

34
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>of the adrenaline filled atmosphere last night at the Kia

35
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>sim Yeah, hey, Bulldog. Other big story, how about Florida

36
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Citrus Sports full speed ahead on trying to lock in

37
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the Jags here in Orlando for the home schedule.

38
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, they got the They got the ten million dollar

39
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>funding from the tourist development or the yeah, the tourist

40
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 2>development tax. So yeah, it looks like it looks like

41
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>now the Jaguars still have to approve it. The NFL

42
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>has to approve it, but it looks like this is

43
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>one of the final formalities before the Jags play here

44
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty seven, so we'll see what happens. That

45
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>was good news yesterday. So it looks like we're gonna

46
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 2>have an NFL team, at least temporarily in Orlando in

47
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty seven. When the Jaguars in Jacksonville are refurbishing

48
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>their stadium up there, they're essentially tearing it down and

49
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>starting over again, so they're gonna have a brand new stadium.

50
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Are the Jags still considering Florida Fielder? Now?

51
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, it's that it's down to uh this Camping

52
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 2>World Stadium and Florida Field the swamp. But everybody seems

53
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>to think it's going to be Camping World Stadium, especially

54
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>with what happened yesterday. So uh uh yeah, I think

55
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be Camping World Stadium. Everything I'm hearing is

56
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be Camping World Stadium. I've talked to

57
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 2>the Jaguars team president Mark Lamping. He hasn't said, uh

58
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>officially that it's gonna be, but you can just tell

59
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>they they want to. They want a stadium for that

60
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>season that they can call their own. Camping World Stadium

61
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>has no tenants obviously Florida Field and the Swamp has

62
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the Gators, and you know you'd have to get it

63
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>could be a quick turnaround that the Gators are playing

64
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a night game and.

65
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh, lamping rhymes with camping. They're coming to Camping World Stadium,

66
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 3>And hey, all, so bulldog, you have to admit you've

67
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>been to enough Gators game as if. I not like

68
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm a fan or anything, but just good my kid

69
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>goes there. But that that town would be a cluster

70
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>with the NFL coming into it.

71
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny you bring that up, Bob. I

72
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>ran in and I was curious. When the wife and

73
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I visited Savannah a while back, we were in a

74
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>bar in the playot and there was a group of

75
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 1>folks there from Jacksonville who were Jags fans because they

76
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>had Jag I asked him just out of cure, and

77
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, you guys were season ticket holders. I said,

78
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>if you have your choice of going to watch those

79
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>games during the refurbishment and going to jackson going to

80
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 1>Gainesville or Orlando, all of them said, we'd rather go

81
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to Gainesville. Really all of them.

82
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I just know that. Man, you can't even get bulldog,

83
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, for like a parent's weekend or a big

84
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 3>home game. It's hard to get rooms there, and they're

85
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 3>and they're like six hundred dollars.

86
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Although NFL fans don't travel like college football fans, a

87
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of those are opposing fans coming into Gamesville. But yeah,

88
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 2>you're right, I mean they don't have the amenities that

89
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Orlando has. They don't have the hotels. Uh, even the stadium.

90
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>When when Camping World stadiums refurbished, and it will be

91
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>about twenty twenty seven, then you know it's gonna be.

92
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be. It's not gonna be an NFL you know,

93
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 2>bells and whistles stadium, but it'll be nicer than the swamp.

94
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>The swamp needs some serious renovations now. You know.

95
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>The only thing I can imagine if you're a Jags

96
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>season ticket holder from Duval area that if you're if

97
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>you're going to a game as a day trip, you're

98
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 1>not staying overnight. Obviously you'd rather drive the games at home.

99
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's probably probably an hour closer. Why they answered

100
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 3>that way to you when you met him at the bar,

101
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 3>I have to what about you boys, But uh, I'll

102
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 3>go to a Jags game.

103
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Sure, yeah, I'll go to every every home game to

104
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the Jag. Yeah, at least tail geame for at least

105
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>the season.

106
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Once there's press box. Hot dogs absolutely away.

107
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of the Bulldogs, so when Dwight Howard, they had

108
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 2>his induction ceremony yesterday afternoon before the game, so you know,

109
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 2>he's it was it was great. He was emotional, he

110
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>was contried. He you know, essentially said I've had a

111
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 2>zillion second thoughts about why I left Orlando. He apologized

112
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 2>to everybody, He thanked the fans. He even apologized to

113
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>the Bulldog. He apologized to the bulldog. What because we

114
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>were talking at a media gathering his little press conference

115
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>after the actual induction ceremony, and he said, and I'm quoting,

116
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>there were a lot of times in the past, Bianchi,

117
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to knock your head off, but now I

118
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 2>realize you were just doing your job.

119
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow, nice bulldog?

120
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 3>Did he ask you out to dinner afterwards for some

121
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 3>butt play?

122
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Stop? Stop? Sorry? All right? Bike? The Bulldog? BYANCHI smooth

123
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>things with Dwight. Apparently that's a that's a good thing.
