Speaker 1: In the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM
Speaker 1: ninety six to nine in the games Mike the Bulldog
Speaker 1: BEYONDI jrr.
Speaker 2: Bulldog Sports Page brought to you this morning by Orlando
Speaker 2: Harley Davidson. You'll find Taco Bob there at the Orlando
Speaker 2: Harley Davidson location on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a Chrome Coming twenty twenty twenty five. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have all the brand new twenty twenty five Harley's
Speaker 1: out there, so hence Chrome coming. It's the homecoming all
Speaker 1: of them. And we're gonna have a bikini contest, full
Speaker 1: bar food trucks. It's gonna be a big party. I'm
Speaker 1: there start at one. I found some bw O koozies excellent,
Speaker 1: just a few left. So all right, hey, you know.
Speaker 3: Where your thoon? Are you wearing your thong out out there?
Speaker 2: If you come out, I might. And now he's m
Speaker 2: seeing the contest, not participating. Taco speaking might be in
Speaker 2: a little cocky this morning because his yard signs are
Speaker 2: gonna get to stay in support of the Orlando Magic
Speaker 2: after the big win.
Speaker 3: That's right, the best baketball gods have spoken. Taco does
Speaker 3: get to keep his yard signs up. The Magic's four
Speaker 3: game losing streak came to an end in a big
Speaker 3: way last night. They dominated the Sacramento Kings one thirty
Speaker 3: till the Frons Franz Wagner and Palo ban Caero were
Speaker 3: back to their old selves. Actually, Franz never went anywhere.
Speaker 3: The Magic shot fifty seven percent from the field and
Speaker 3: are you ready for this, the worst the worst three
Speaker 3: point shooting team in the league, fifty one point six
Speaker 3: percent from three point range. For the Magic, they committed
Speaker 3: only eleven turnovers, eight of those came when the game
Speaker 3: was already decided late in the game. And again the
Speaker 3: Franz thirty one points in just three quarters. He was amazing,
Speaker 3: scoring in every way possible, drives, post ups, spot up,
Speaker 3: step backs, five of six from three point range. Palo
Speaker 3: had twenty two three points and nine assists. So hopefully
Speaker 3: this is a harbinger of things to come for the Magic.
Speaker 3: Maybe Pallo's finally getting back in the swing of things,
Speaker 3: and hopefully again this will be the start of something big.
Speaker 2: Gonna get a little tougher with a quick turnaround tonight
Speaker 2: at Denver.
Speaker 3: That's right at Denver, of course. Nicola Joak it's the
Speaker 3: best player in the league. We'll be waiting for the
Speaker 3: Magic tonight. Also, that game comes right after the trade deadline,
Speaker 3: which is today three o'clock. We've already seen, obviously a
Speaker 3: flurry of action in the NBA, the Maverick shocking decision
Speaker 3: to trade Luka Doncics to the Lakers for Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: The Heat finally unloaded Jimmy Butler last night. They traded
Speaker 3: him the Golden State for Anthony Wiggins and some other assets.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what the Magic do today. The feeling,
Speaker 3: of course, is they need a shooter, because, as I
Speaker 3: mentioned ad nauseum, they are the worst three point shooting
Speaker 3: team the league. But my feelings are, and I've said
Speaker 3: this on our show, I've written it, I say, don't
Speaker 3: panic if you're the Magic. I think the Magic will
Speaker 3: organically get better in the final thirty games of the season.
Speaker 3: And once they get Jalen Suggs back, which hopefully and
Speaker 3: should be fairly quickly, you know that's gonna make them better.
Speaker 3: Pallo's been struggling since his return. You know that's not
Speaker 3: going to continue. So they'll get better when he gets
Speaker 3: back to his old self, which maybe we saw last night.
Speaker 3: So those two factors in itself will make the magic better.
Speaker 3: And why mess with the chemistry and camaraderie of this team.
Speaker 3: I say, wait and see what happens.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Doug. I told Pat early on in
Speaker 1: the show, I said, look my magic signs out in front.
Speaker 1: They were stuck in my garage three to five years.
Speaker 1: Couldn't find them. Clean the garage, knock the dust off them,
Speaker 1: put them in the yard. I think that's what the
Speaker 1: magic's doing. They're knocking the dust off, just like my
Speaker 1: signs did. So it's a representation.
Speaker 2: Yesterday telling some crap about the dirt in your yard
Speaker 2: was getting used to the signs or vice versa.
Speaker 3: Just like Pala Pala needs to get accustomed to his surroundings,
Speaker 3: the signs need to get a customed they're.
Speaker 1: They're knocking the dust off. I'm telling you the magic
Speaker 1: are And you just wait once Suggs gets back, and
Speaker 1: then you think of years to come, I know, baby
Speaker 1: steps of it. Then you get mow back. Oh god,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be allogger all the time.
Speaker 3: Well, one win, but we'll see what happensline.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe with the trade head on we go and
Speaker 1: play Denver and grab that badass player they have and
Speaker 1: put them on our plane.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, just kidnap him. Huh.
Speaker 1: We'll get him in the trade. We'll give him half
Speaker 1: a team, all right, dog? What else? Uh?
Speaker 3: Well, yesterday was National Signing Day. It sort of flew
Speaker 3: under the radar because quite frankly, it's not nearly as
Speaker 3: meaningful as it once was because most of them major
Speaker 3: college football recruits signed during the early signing period in December. However,
Speaker 3: the last of the recruits did sign yesterday. The final
Speaker 3: rankings for this year's class are in according to twenty
Speaker 3: four to seven sports dot com. In the state of Florida,
Speaker 3: the Gators had the highest ranked class at number eight,
Speaker 3: Miami number thirteen, FSU number nineteen dot dot dot. UCF
Speaker 3: way down at number seventy seven. Ucfs even below USF,
Speaker 3: which is number sixty four. The Nights are last in
Speaker 3: the Big twelve in recruiting and this isn't a surprise.
Speaker 3: Gus Malzon leaving right before early signing period in December
Speaker 3: that decimated UCF's high school recruiting class, and Scott Frost
Speaker 3: is now having to try to rebuild through the portal.
Speaker 3: So this this isn't gonna be a quick rebuild, Unlike
Speaker 3: the last time Scott Frost was the head coach. I mean,
Speaker 3: he worked miracles when he came here before. It's a
Speaker 3: different landscape. He's gonna have to be a program builder
Speaker 3: this time.
Speaker 2: Speaking of signing, there's an executive order of such signs yesterday,
Speaker 2: Bulldog good day for women's sports.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I don't know what took this so long.
Speaker 3: I don't know why the sports into these themselves, like
Speaker 3: the NCUBA, the high school associations. Every I bet yes,
Speaker 3: transgender athletes, as President Trump signed the band yesterday, will
Speaker 3: not be allowed to compete in women's or girls sports
Speaker 3: competitive sports moving forward, which I think everybody agrees with that,
Speaker 3: or most everybody, Republicans, Democrats, blacks, whites, Gators, seminoles. I
Speaker 3: think everybody agrees with this, and I don't know why
Speaker 3: it had to become a big political issue.
Speaker 1: And I think if you don't agree with it, just
Speaker 1: pull up on YouTube that boxing match where that trained
Speaker 1: boxer got her ass handed turbid dude, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: He talked about that yesterday before he signed it in
Speaker 2: a room full of young athletes who were very happy
Speaker 2: to see this happen, and I will make a prediction
Speaker 2: here though, they will find a sympathetic judge somewhere who
Speaker 2: will temporarily block this order.
Speaker 3: Well again, I've most of the major sporting entities from
Speaker 3: the US Olympic Committee. They've already imposed this band.
Speaker 2: So all right, we'll see all right in lightning home
Speaker 2: again tonight against Ottawa. Mike the Bulldog Bianchi, host of
Speaker 2: Open Mic on AM seven ninety six nine The Game
