Speaker 1: Jordan them could coach because you're thinking player in the world,
Speaker 1: there's nobody that has his ability. Like you're gonna say,
Speaker 1: You're gonna say, how can you not do this? I
Speaker 1: did it all the time. Now, well it's different. We're uh.
Speaker 1: I was just watching a video and I ray, you
Speaker 1: might know this. There's a it was like Kwame Brown,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't Kwame Brown with somebody that was like,
Speaker 1: I can I should play, I should be playing more.
Speaker 1: I can beat anybody. I could beat Michael Jordan one
Speaker 1: on one. And he heard it, and and Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: showed up to the gym like two days later and
Speaker 1: they played one on one and Jordan's like he was
Speaker 1: like eleven to one. Yeah. So to your point, as
Speaker 1: a coach, like, there's just there's no there's no comparable
Speaker 1: player to you or skill level. And there have been
Speaker 1: those players who are good players, great players, who have
Speaker 1: been able to coach, but they have that special how
Speaker 1: many how many Hall of Fame coaches are Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame players? Yeah, I don't have to go in any sport.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Bird was a pretty good coach
Speaker 1: with Indiana when he first got there, but he didn't.
Speaker 1: But you're not not a Hall of Fame coach by
Speaker 1: any means, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, No, I don't think he's all of fame coach.
Speaker 1: I mean I say Tomas was somewhat of a dumpster fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and he was kind of like a wishy
Speaker 1: watched the type of person too. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you know Paul Westfall the Son's Yeah, pretty good coach.
Speaker 1: It didn't last long. But like we were talking before,
Speaker 1: you have like a ten game swing and you're done. Malone,
Speaker 1: who just was Player of the Year Coach of the
Speaker 1: year two years ago, he's gone. You see what he's
Speaker 1: getting paid though. Okay, here's my question, Like these coaches
Speaker 1: that just get fired, right, just that just got fired, right,
Speaker 1: they still have to pay out their remaining contract. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think it was Malone is still owed, Like
Speaker 1: is he fifty one million dollars? Well to your point,
Speaker 1: I think, did you say with the Phoenix Suns guys
Speaker 1: seventy five million?
Speaker 2: That was such an exaggeration?
Speaker 1: Was it was forty nine million dollars for the Sons
Speaker 1: because it was pasted it was his past contract and
Speaker 1: this contract from a line from Malone. Yeah, Oh so
Speaker 1: you were you were being a little exaggerate. But but they
Speaker 1: had three coaches, Williams, Vogel and now this guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in three or four years. Yeah, and then they're still
Speaker 1: all paying. You're paying more for those coaches than you
Speaker 1: are for players that you're currently on your roster, Like,
Speaker 1: don't you how much money there is? And at the
Speaker 1: next level? Sure, maybe, I don't know. Is that a
Speaker 1: good way to spend money? I don't know. I'd like
Speaker 1: for me, we talked about this from an NBA standpoint,
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me because you can't build
Speaker 1: a culture and what is the culture? Is it driven
Speaker 1: by a coach?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Is there really is there really coach in the NBA
Speaker 1: outside of I mean I can think about maybe Golden State,
Speaker 1: maybe San Antonio, and maybe I'm wrong on a couple
Speaker 1: other ones, maybe Boston. But I think that's more front
Speaker 1: office that you're They're led by that front office. Right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like the way okay, okay, see plays. I like
Speaker 1: the way look Houston Miami, Yeah, Houston, Miami. Houston Miami
Speaker 1: is a good one too. Yeah in Houston. The guy
Speaker 1: who played the Boston right, he just had some personal
Speaker 1: issues that you could but all of a sudden, he's
Speaker 1: got Houston. Yeah, but he's a great coach. You could
Speaker 1: tell that just that doesn't happen by accidental. You just
Speaker 1: don't stumble into a good situation. But then you look
Speaker 1: at the other side of it, like and then people
Speaker 1: are you're getting fired mid season. I just that's to me,
Speaker 1: that's just too much turnover.
Speaker 2: Right or even like right before the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But here's my question. Okay, so let's say you guys
Speaker 1: are seconds. Both you guys are headquartered or head coaches. Right,
Speaker 1: you get next five years, you're guaranteed forty nine million dollars.
Speaker 1: Are you looking for another job? Are you like that's it,
Speaker 1: I'm done, Like I'm retiring, dude, I'm done. I'm done. Right,
Speaker 1: get me on TV and I'll be I'll figure something out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to be on TV. I want
Speaker 1: I told Josh Josh past who's pretty good at being
Speaker 1: on TV. Very why would you deal with other crap?
Speaker 1: I think it's just it's a routine, right, You're so
Speaker 1: used to call the ego, and it's it's what you do,
Speaker 1: So we gotta go. You ruin it, You ruined it.
Speaker 2: Sorry.

Speaker 1: Now, we'll see. Well they're they're just finished straight to
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Yeah, so I'm not sure about the women.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, the softball team won the doubleheader. We had Chrissy on.
Speaker 1: Right talking about the kidney of the transplant of the situation.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, and you know they they won the first
Speaker 2: game three to zero and then uh five inning ruled
Speaker 2: them thirteen to zero. New Mexico against New Mexico State.
Speaker 2: The baseball team is looking to keep their hot streak
Speaker 2: going after beating BYU over the weekend against UT Arlington.
Speaker 2: So that was your alma mater.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't say that much pretty often.
Speaker 14: Did you know UT or Lincoln? No, No, mex School State.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, what did you say? You said that last
Speaker 14: You said that last New Mexico State. This is so confusing.
Speaker 14: You went to New Mexico State last year.
Speaker 1: You didn't know. We talked about that. In fact, you
Speaker 1: gave me an idea of to tell you later.
Speaker 2: Okay, drafts coming up starts tomorrow first round. A few
Speaker 2: people wondering where Tedoro McMillan's gonna land. Tard Archer has
Speaker 2: him going to twelve, but Peter Schrager had him going
Speaker 2: to nineteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think there's like a from six to twenty ish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pretty wide range. He might be
Speaker 1: the first wide receiver, he might be the second wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the question is can he be a number
Speaker 1: one at the NFL level?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean if he's not a number one, yeah, there
Speaker 1: there must be some fantastic wide receivers out there. How
Speaker 1: do you come that guy? Who's he's that guy? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know much all the characteristics, body metrics make up. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: who's the highest uh, who's the highest wide receiver out
Speaker 1: of you of a ever drafted?
Speaker 3: Honey?
Speaker 1: It was it, honey cut not? Uh? No, am I
Speaker 1: thinking about? I don't know. Oh, there's been a few recently, recently,
Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, but not not not that's hard
Speaker 1: hard for me to say. I even covered not a
Speaker 1: lot in the last forty years. And I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: There's a few. There's been a few. I don't feel like.
Speaker 1: J No, No, he's not he's not. Yeah, Okay, just.
Speaker 2: Will forget anyway, keep going, keep it going, right you
Speaker 2: Wade was one? Conrad Martinez? Yeah, where is he committed
Speaker 2: to High Point? Ok?
Speaker 1: That band will start? He's such a I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a guy you want running point. And here's the
Speaker 1: sad part. You saw him play in the last game
Speaker 1: and played pretty well. It's that was on Tommy not
Speaker 1: playing him more during the season. Not that that would
Speaker 1: have prevented him from leaving, because I think he's probably
Speaker 1: better off where he's at now. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't disagree with you. I think he's a guy that's
Speaker 1: probably five minutes to seven minutes. But you did see it,
Speaker 1: and this is no fault of Tommy. You did see
Speaker 1: it when you started playing. I think when we played
Speaker 1: UCF and he got bodied a couple of times, it
Speaker 1: was a different player. For well, you come on, you,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you when you pitched, you had better success
Speaker 1: against certain teams. Oh yeah, and not certain teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you don't know until you know. You don't know
Speaker 1: until you know. Yeah, I got that tattoo on my luerback.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, right, you tramp you Blake stamp, Blake stamp.
Speaker 1: Oh that's horrible.
Speaker 2: Round two, or Game two's of the NBA Playoffs started yesterday.
Speaker 2: The first one was the Pacers beating the Bucks one
Speaker 2: twenty three to one fifteen and now lead the series
Speaker 2: to zero.
Speaker 1: Are the Bucks done? Do you think? Yeah?
Speaker 2: You think? I don't think they're going back. I mean
Speaker 2: they could, but I mean sports, right, you never know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean it's an honest question. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you think they're done, they're done, I just yeah,
Speaker 1: I would, I would say so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Grizzlies got crushed. Yeah, they're done once again,
Speaker 2: they're super done. If the Bucks are like maybe done, yeah, grizzly,
Speaker 2: super done. Lakers tied it up with the Timberwolves one
Speaker 2: to one. Oh yeah, And I don't know, I feel
Speaker 2: like you kind of figured because Lebron has the history of,
Speaker 2: you know, starting series out so terrible the amount, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: and bouncing back although I would say, you know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't they didn't look great, but yeah, right, because a
Speaker 2: lot of people are picking them for the championship. But
Speaker 2: that continues on tonight. The Celtics are going to play
Speaker 2: the Magic. Like I said, Tatum isn't going to be playing.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look like it.
Speaker 1: Shifted, no matter, no matter, all matter.
Speaker 2: And the second game is going to be the Cavaliers
Speaker 2: against the Heat. Yeah on NBA TV. Good luck finding
Speaker 2: it if you don't have the channel. And then the
Speaker 2: kind of big game and more intriguing game i'd say
Speaker 2: is the Warriors versus the Rockets.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm a Warriors guy. Yeah, Houston's going to beat
Speaker 1: them tonight. Yeah, I think so too, Yeah, because they
Speaker 1: have to win this game.
Speaker 2: This was an interesting one that I saw when we
Speaker 2: were when I was looking up some stories for today.
Speaker 2: So Nico his obviously his his transfer to u C.
Speaker 2: L A was very well reported or followed very well,
Speaker 2: followed by everyone. His brother also transferred to u C
Speaker 2: l A on Monday from Arkansas, and Arkansas wants two
Speaker 2: hundred k from after because he transferred pretty much kind
Speaker 2: of did he sign a contract that he didn't live
Speaker 2: up to?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about the U C one? I don't
Speaker 1: want his brother to his brother too. So they got
Speaker 1: agreements through the not for the school, through the through
Speaker 1: the commission, what do you call it, the that thing,
Speaker 1: and they didn't complete it, That's what I was asking.
Speaker 1: So they didn't complete it, and now they got paid.
Speaker 1: They got paid. Yeah, now they got X amount of money.
Speaker 1: I thought you had to complete and then postplay or
Speaker 1: post pay after. I don't know, but they're they're going
Speaker 1: to assume now to get whatever remainder of the balance
Speaker 1: that they didn't use or didn't didn't fulfill. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see that a lot. There's
Speaker 1: so many things you're gonna see when all these transfers
Speaker 1: eventually find the spot or don't find the spot, because
Speaker 1: there's so many things going on, the number of people
Speaker 1: who won't get picked up by other schools, and then
Speaker 1: guess what you're in limbo. Maybe you've made a bad decision,
Speaker 1: but that was the decision you made, right, Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you go, I'm gonna leave, Okay, I'm leaving the school
Speaker 1: in the transfer and here I am we don't want you.
Speaker 1: Here I am nobody wants you. Then what transfer? A
Speaker 1: new coach comes in. Like there's so many different factors and.
Speaker 2: It kind of goes into like I feel like what
Speaker 2: you've brought up a lot is like with contracts, like
Speaker 2: you want to be able to have that buyout where
Speaker 2: it's you know, kind of clean.
Speaker 1: Eventually all that's going to come to that like an employee.
Speaker 1: But how long does how long is it going to take?
Speaker 15: What?
Speaker 1: I know they're waiting on a couple of decisions, especially
Speaker 1: at the house level. But like that should it's not
Speaker 1: that hard. It's not like you're you're not reinventing the wheel,
Speaker 1: like you're going, we're a professional sport. How does professional
Speaker 1: sports pay players? Why don't we follow this model?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 16: It's not that it's not rocket science. I wouldn't think, yeah,
Speaker 16: I mean it, I don't know. It just seems like
Speaker 16: Nancy double A is the one holding it up. But
Speaker 16: this is just a crazy time, just a crazy time.
Speaker 2: Glad we're living through it. Jimmer for Dead is retiring
Speaker 2: from basketball.
Speaker 1: He was where was he playing?
Speaker 2: I thought he was playing, but he was in He
Speaker 2: was in the three on three basketball at the Olympics last.
Speaker 1: It's not a bag. I'm going to retire from something marbles,
Speaker 1: I mean what, it's not going to be poker. We
Speaker 1: all know that, or trying to figure out both full house.
Speaker 1: That's part of the problem. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Saint John's was or it's said that they were the
Speaker 2: number one recruiting team and transfer portal specifically, they got
Speaker 2: the number one class and they also had a commitment
Speaker 2: earlier today from Dylan Mitchell from Cincinnati, So that's you know,
Speaker 2: I got some I got some stuff going for him.
Speaker 1: Since the Cincinnati kind of got gutted. Right, A lot
Speaker 1: of those guys were in the transfer Yeah. Right, they're
Speaker 1: two best Baylor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of Taylor had completely sort Yeah.
Speaker 1: But Baylor's class coming in is not bad, right, it's
Speaker 1: top twenty five, top thirty five, So I don't know
Speaker 1: how many they've gotten. I don't think so. Oh, I
Speaker 1: thought they had a decent class. Come No, I don't
Speaker 1: think so.
Speaker 2: I could check two for yeah, yeah, we can check
Speaker 2: it out. NHL playoffs also happening. What yeah, we got
Speaker 2: a couple. Game two's tonight the Canadians are playing against
Speaker 2: the Washington Capitals. Uh a Vegkan hit a overtime thriller,
Speaker 2: goal less game.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about how wild a Vagican is if
Speaker 1: you were watching any of his interviews, that guy is
Speaker 1: so himself, like it's really missing five teeth, draaking beers, shooting,
Speaker 1: shooting pucks in his backyard and like just wild stuff.
Speaker 1: Like that guy should have his own TV show. It
Speaker 1: looks like maybe he does.
Speaker 2: Maybe not like hockey culture across the board, but looks
Speaker 2: like it's a little bit part of hockey culture where.
Speaker 1: I mean, how many here's a question, how many NHL
Speaker 1: players have a full set of teeth?
Speaker 2: Probably not a lot, not a lot. If I had
Speaker 2: to guess.
Speaker 1: Who's a who's a tougher athlete, hockey player, a bull rider,
Speaker 1: I'd say bull riner.
Speaker 2: I want to say hockey just because you know they
Speaker 2: get some time. Yeah, you know what I mean, dude,
Speaker 2: it's a tough way to make a living, bull writing
Speaker 2: or hockey.
Speaker 1: Either way, that's the last thing I would do. Bull
Speaker 1: writing out of all the sports, bull writing would be
Speaker 1: the last one. Yeah, yeah, well yeah, without question? What else? Hockey?
Speaker 1: Put me in all those pads and give me a mask?
Speaker 1: Your benefiting? The hell? No falling down? Okay, what's it?
Speaker 1: Very last sport you'd ever play?
Speaker 2: The last sport?
Speaker 1: What's the last way? He said? Bull riding?
Speaker 2: Man, it might be up there, motocross maybe motocross.
Speaker 1: I would kill myself in a harpy. I'm terrible on
Speaker 1: two wheels.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think younger Blake would have enjoyed bull writing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I enjoy pain, probably a little bit more than no.
Speaker 1: But if there was a snake charm, snake catching sport,
Speaker 1: that'd be below bull writing. I would Mine would be
Speaker 1: a syncer nice swimming because I can't swim, I would
Speaker 1: that would it would be just floating on the top
Speaker 1: of the water anyway, Sorry, can you have to see
Speaker 1: you at a speedo at u of A. It's weird

Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to Eye on the Bog Here on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Fortune fifty. I'm Steve Rivera in with me
Speaker 1: to day Blake. You're from Southern Arizona sports tourism film authorities.
Speaker 1: It's tough for you to know. I just won ten bucks.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hold on, hold on. We on the phone.
Speaker 1: We got Brandon Sanders from the u A. Brandon, how
Speaker 1: are you.
Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic, man. How's it going.
Speaker 1: We're doing fun. I have so many questions for you, man.
Speaker 1: Why in the world are you gonna run a marathon?
Speaker 11: Teddi Brukie said, I was crazy when I told I
Speaker 11: want to ask him a little bit over a year ago.
Speaker 11: You know, it was I was already kind of doing
Speaker 11: a little bit of running, but then.
Speaker 3: I knew he were he. Teddy has has.
Speaker 11: His calls, you know, for strokes survivors and stroke awareness,
Speaker 11: and we had just we had just lost a couple
Speaker 11: of wildcats. You know, Heath Bray passed away last year
Speaker 11: and that was a heart related issue. And then I
Speaker 11: looked over the last you know, two to five years,
Speaker 11: and I've had a number of teammates and whether it
Speaker 11: be an Arizona or or high school that had passed
Speaker 11: from strokes and and and heart related issues. And and
Speaker 11: I was like, man, this is the way I could
Speaker 11: give back, and and uh, and then I started this
Speaker 11: journey man to Boston.
Speaker 1: So did you were you there to raise help raise money?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you were a heck of an athlete here,
Speaker 1: You're a heck of an athlete in the NFL. Is
Speaker 1: this maybe some of the best shape you've been in?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 11: This is grueling, grueling, you know because I did because
Speaker 11: I was I when when roughly around this time, Teddy
Speaker 11: just told me, if I'm really serious, just start running.
Speaker 11: So from now until from from then until I say November,
Speaker 11: I would just kind of run my own pace. And
Speaker 11: then I put together, along with his team, we put
Speaker 11: together my my game plan and I went on a
Speaker 11: twenty four week training of you know, four days a week,
Speaker 11: one day lifting and and you know, long run pace,
Speaker 11: run and training runs and yeah it was it was
Speaker 11: a monster.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What was it like coming from the you know,
Speaker 1: obviously playing football, uh, having the professional background, having collegiate
Speaker 1: athlete background, going into the proper ration of a marathon.
Speaker 1: Like how much of a mental f is that? And
Speaker 1: how much of a different landscape is it when you
Speaker 1: that you're used to very.
Speaker 11: Different because you know, when you're you're when you're when
Speaker 11: you're when you're on a team, you know, you got
Speaker 11: everybody else to motivate you. There's a lot of times
Speaker 11: I know people saw me around whether it campus or
Speaker 11: on the on the on the loop or anywhere else
Speaker 11: to read park, they saw me, you know running, I'm
Speaker 11: my own motivation and uh, and so then you have
Speaker 11: to pick up what the cause is? You know, typically
Speaker 11: when you're playing, you're playing football for your family and
Speaker 11: in yourself. And and I was a competitor, so I
Speaker 11: wanted to compete and now you're just competing with yourself.
Speaker 11: And now it's what what is your cause? You know,
Speaker 11: when when when times are tough, when you don't want
Speaker 11: to get up and run this fifteen sixteen seventeen miles
Speaker 11: along with you know, knowing that you got another six
Speaker 11: miles and two days and another six miles and two
Speaker 11: days after that.
Speaker 3: That's that's the toughest. So it was it was very
Speaker 3: mentally challenging.
Speaker 11: And then once I got in the Boston Marathon running,
Speaker 11: I think I was running around running very smoothly, and
Speaker 11: then and then you know, and then you started hitting
Speaker 11: those heels and then your body kind of somewhat locks up.
Speaker 11: So that was a whole nother mental challenge that I
Speaker 11: had to get through.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. So how long
Speaker 1: how long has it been since you first started? You
Speaker 1: probably remember the day exactly.
Speaker 11: Oh gosh, when I started, when I started the official training, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 11: that would have been.
Speaker 3: What is that I'm looking? I'm looking. I'm looking three March.
Speaker 3: Is that right? That doesn't look right? Oh god, I'm
Speaker 3: not I'm looking. Oh i'm looking at I'm looking at
Speaker 3: the wrong thing. Sorry, I have it all. I have
Speaker 3: it all looking on my.
Speaker 1: Was it a year more than a year? It had
Speaker 1: to be more than a year.
Speaker 11: Yeah, this time last year I just started running. So
Speaker 11: November eleventh was my was my first official week that
Speaker 11: I started.
Speaker 1: Okay, so so here's what I was. I would be
Speaker 1: like two weeks in, I've done enough. I'm just no way.
Speaker 1: At some point, do you just say, what the hell
Speaker 1: am I doing?
Speaker 11: You know, not really because of the costs, you know,
Speaker 11: you got to think to yourself. And and then and
Speaker 11: then I even added my my brother in there. My
Speaker 11: brother passed away in January, but I started November, what
Speaker 11: I say, November eleventh. At the end of November, right
Speaker 11: around Thanksgiving, we found out he had a tumor and
Speaker 11: he was going to have to get tumor in his brain,
Speaker 11: and he was going to have to get a you know,
Speaker 11: crnonomy and some other things and and one of those
Speaker 11: things that he said when when when he knew I
Speaker 11: was training for this, he was like he was proud
Speaker 11: of me, and he was proud that I was trying
Speaker 11: to do this. So I hadn't, you know, the bulk
Speaker 11: of what I was going to hit yet. I hadn't
Speaker 11: even run at the half marathon yet. And and it
Speaker 11: happened so fast, you know, from from from Thanksgiving to
Speaker 11: January seventh, you know, then he's gone.
Speaker 3: And then I just.
Speaker 11: Had another, you know, another another cause to run for
Speaker 11: and and and it was him.
Speaker 1: So you've seen you say in November six seven months
Speaker 1: ago or the previous year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, November of just this passion.
Speaker 1: Now, some people train lifetimes and don't do this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he started training marathon style like he's been running
Speaker 1: for a while, right, But you started training for the
Speaker 1: marathon during that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, twenty twenty four weeks is what I had in
Speaker 11: your twenty four weeks to the day of when I ran.
Speaker 1: So, at what point during those twenty four weeks did
Speaker 1: you actually hit that mile marker for a marathon? Was
Speaker 1: it twenty six point two?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 11: So the longest run, the longest run I had was
Speaker 11: would have been twenty one miles and that would have
Speaker 11: been March twenty fourth.
Speaker 1: And did so how did those final five fields?
Speaker 11: So it's the mileage you do per week, So you know,
Speaker 11: in the beginning you're thirteen, I went, you know, thirteen
Speaker 11: fifteen miles.
Speaker 3: The accumulation of weeks.
Speaker 11: You know, and then you look after I started doing
Speaker 11: my half marathon, and it was twenty one miles, twenty
Speaker 11: seven miles, twenty nine miles per week. Then they got
Speaker 11: up to thirty one, thirty three, thirty five, thirty seven.
Speaker 11: You know, your accumulation of miles per week, and and
Speaker 11: then you start tapering down so you don't ever really
Speaker 11: run the twenty six point two and so it's time
Speaker 11: to run it. But if you can get twenty twenty one,
Speaker 11: if you you can get that, you you can you
Speaker 11: should be able to still finish. Now Boston is a
Speaker 11: little different because of those heels that that that was,
Speaker 11: you know, I did some I did some heillwork, but
Speaker 11: but I probably need to do just to tab it
Speaker 11: more because that was that was rough. Did you have
Speaker 11: any knowing I went from the wash like I did
Speaker 11: fourteen miles on the loop, came off and when I
Speaker 11: hit fourteen, then I went up from the from from
Speaker 11: you know, the wash on Swan and I went all
Speaker 11: the way up to Sunrise, so that was three miles
Speaker 11: and then once I got up there, then I did
Speaker 11: another two miles.
Speaker 3: That gave me eighteen for that that day.
Speaker 11: And that I felt that So things like that really
Speaker 11: helped me when it was when it was time to
Speaker 11: you know, grule out.
Speaker 1: Did you have any injuries along the way, like nicks
Speaker 1: and bruises or anything that I know it takes it's
Speaker 1: such a wear and tear on your body, Like what
Speaker 1: do you feel now and what did you have to
Speaker 1: go through?
Speaker 3: Oh? God?
Speaker 11: So the I'll say the scariest one was I think
Speaker 11: maybe two and a half weeks ago, three two and
Speaker 11: a half, three weeks ago roughly, I was on an
Speaker 11: uneven pavement and I tweaked my calf and I'm like, man,
Speaker 11: I'm only I'm only like fourteen days away and and
Speaker 11: my calf is hurting. So you know, I didn't do
Speaker 11: anything that the rest of that week. I got in
Speaker 11: our training room and I just iceed and did everything
Speaker 11: I could to try. I thought I might have to
Speaker 11: end up renting with a sleep because because you know,
Speaker 11: I strained it. So that was the scariest because it
Speaker 11: seemed like two weeks out there was always there was something,
Speaker 11: you know, I got, I got hitting my lip being
Speaker 11: around one of our players, and then I tweaked my calf,
Speaker 11: and then here's something else, and I'm like, what is
Speaker 11: going on?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 3: This is some meley challenge and stuff.
Speaker 11: And then I think in anyway, after around my half marathon,
Speaker 11: the only other injury, I wouldn't call it an injury.
Speaker 3: It was just changed.
Speaker 11: I had changed shoes, so you know, you can only
Speaker 11: go I think and told me that I had run
Speaker 11: when I was going to the uh when I when
Speaker 11: I was heading on the bus to the to the
Speaker 11: athlete village, it said totally, uh total, I'm over five
Speaker 11: hundred miles that I've run in my training to get
Speaker 11: to to get to this point. So I was over
Speaker 11: five hundred and some of my miles, which is crazy
Speaker 11: when you think about it.
Speaker 1: So how did you qualify?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 1: When did you qualify?
Speaker 11: It wasn't a qualified So I'm running for a charity.
Speaker 3: Since since I'm.
Speaker 11: Running for a charity, Teddy's team, I was able to get.
Speaker 11: You know, he has a certain bit certain bits that
Speaker 11: he bid numbers that he can have per per thing.
Speaker 3: So I raised that.
Speaker 11: I was number eighteen when I was here, and I
Speaker 11: raised eighteen thousand dollars. A lot of humbling, a lot
Speaker 11: of people, you know, really poured in. They still pouring down.
Speaker 11: They go to the sight. But it's it's it's awesome.
Speaker 1: What is that real quick?
Speaker 11: Just in case, Oh gosh, it was a giving games.

Speaker 1: four weeks or whatever that week's it's like, what the hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's up there. Teddy Teddy said the same thing.
Speaker 11: Teddy Teddy said, you know, he's played in he's played
Speaker 11: in super Bowls and NFL and and those things, and
Speaker 11: and he ranked this right up there with winning the
Speaker 11: super Bowl.
Speaker 3: I haven't won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 11: I have won a Fiesta Bowl and also played in
Speaker 11: playoff games and those things in the NFL.
Speaker 3: It's up there.
Speaker 11: It's right up there with the feeling you have when
Speaker 11: you finish the crowd. I mean they have the crowd.
Speaker 11: There is no let down all twenty six miles.
Speaker 3: Everywhere you go. I mean they are lined.
Speaker 11: The city of Boston shows out. It's incredible. It's up there.
Speaker 11: It's top top two for me, especially like like Teddy said,
Speaker 11: especially at this age. You know, I'm over fifty years
Speaker 11: old trying to get this. You know, the nicks and bruises,
Speaker 11: you know, a lot of the concrete running on your
Speaker 11: joints and everything else. I mean, it was, like I said,
Speaker 11: only think I can say is I'm humbled.
Speaker 3: Man. God looked out for me to get me through.
Speaker 1: So we all have a story, right, everybody has a story.
Speaker 1: Did you come across the story that you were inspired
Speaker 1: by in line there or running or talking?
Speaker 11: A story? A story from someone else?
Speaker 1: Yes, from somebody else? Mm hmmm, did you you know?
Speaker 11: I think there there were there were a number of
Speaker 11: different people on on Teddy's team when we went to
Speaker 11: our Night of inspiration that was really really really inspiring.
Speaker 11: You know, there was there was some people that there
Speaker 11: was one lady she had don't know.
Speaker 3: There's a guy who was sitting next to excuse.
Speaker 11: Me at dinner and he he had just had a stroke,
Speaker 11: I think maybe a year and a half ago or
Speaker 11: maybe two years ago, two years ago, and he you know,
Speaker 11: got through everything else. And last year was his first
Speaker 11: ever he ran the marathon coming off being a stroke survivor.
Speaker 11: It was amazing and he's got two children, and and
Speaker 11: he was just saying, you know, uh, he he you know,
Speaker 11: he had he had he had no history of anything.
Speaker 11: He was healthy and everything else. And he has a
Speaker 11: stroke and you know he was lucky enough to survive.
Speaker 11: But now he a marathon and now he's back. And
Speaker 11: like she said, his wife said at the end, she
Speaker 11: he was like last year, he was saying, he's never
Speaker 11: running another one, and here he is back again, running
Speaker 11: a second And and that was that was super inspired,
Speaker 11: because you know, coming back from that is amazing, but
Speaker 11: only coming back, but running a marathon is is incredible.
Speaker 1: So what was your time and was it a good
Speaker 1: time for you? And I would guess that you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it again.
Speaker 3: I think right now, I'm not committing anything store.
Speaker 11: It was four hours eleven minutes, which I've never run
Speaker 11: a marathon. I've never run anything like that, So for me,
Speaker 11: that was great. I was I was cruising. I think
Speaker 11: I might have I might have had a chance to
Speaker 11: be under four hours. Fact I know I would have
Speaker 11: had a chance to be under four hours, but when
Speaker 11: my body started cramping up about miles seventeen, then I
Speaker 11: had to walk and run. So the last the last whatever,
Speaker 11: mile seven, seven, eight miles. I was walking and running,
Speaker 11: walking and running, and you know, they said our marathon
Speaker 11: is good specting for a novice. So for me to
Speaker 11: finish with four hours and eleven my even my half
Speaker 11: marathon time was better than the half marathon or ran
Speaker 11: in Yuma, So it was it was good man. I
Speaker 11: was I was rolling, I was really cruising and uh
Speaker 11: and even then, even my training still helped me get
Speaker 11: through and push through. And the and the people cheering
Speaker 11: you on, it's an amazing feeling. There's there's nothing really
Speaker 11: like it. I can definitely say that there's nothing like
Speaker 11: that for people for four hours as you keep they
Speaker 11: don't know you, and they're cheering you on, and you know,
Speaker 11: I have my name on my front, so they're yelling
Speaker 11: out my name and telling me I'm doing a good job.
Speaker 3: Keep pushing. It's awesome.
Speaker 1: That's an You don't think about that from just a
Speaker 1: like a just a normal everyday kind of perspective. But
Speaker 1: the amount of people that are out there just supporting
Speaker 1: the runners, like is incredible. Like you talked about a
Speaker 1: communit community coming together for a greater good just in general,
Speaker 1: it's it's are you amazing?
Speaker 11: You go by Boston College and all those students are
Speaker 11: out there pressing like it's it's incredible.
Speaker 3: It was. It was definitely incredible.
Speaker 11: My my, my, My old principal friend Ross and auser
Speaker 11: from at Pueblo's the.
Speaker 3: Current principal at Pueblo.
Speaker 11: He here and his wife went out there and and
Speaker 11: and they you know, and they they ran out there
Speaker 11: to support me. Michelle Scoley used to run track here.
Speaker 11: She's out there support me. It was like just an
Speaker 11: awesome deal all the way, all the way, all the
Speaker 11: way around Teddy and Heidi Deer.
Speaker 3: It was a good wildcat. It's a good wildcat showing
Speaker 3: what a.
Speaker 1: Great little little community. Hey, and I don't think we
Speaker 1: meant to skim over this earlier. We're really sorry to

Speaker 1: relationship you guys had.

Speaker 11: go about.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can pick just one.
Speaker 11: I would say for Brian, he he was.
Speaker 3: So much he was so much.
Speaker 11: Like me, and and in a lot of ways and
Speaker 11: and pressed me to be better.
Speaker 3: We always come.
Speaker 11: We always competed at everything. And I can still remember
Speaker 11: he and I in the in the December and ninety two, throwing.
Speaker 3: Catch outside outside my house.
Speaker 11: Out here and me telling him that I don't we're
Speaker 11: gonna beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl, and he and
Speaker 11: I were big Miami Hurricanes fans. He's like, no way,
Speaker 11: and I told him I don't. I don't even see
Speaker 11: how they're gonna get a chance to score. And then
Speaker 11: we go out and we shut them out. And you know,
Speaker 11: I flew home to San Diego and as soon as
Speaker 11: I saw him, he's just shook his head and he's like, man,
Speaker 11: you were absolutely right.
Speaker 3: I think, not just not to go too far.
Speaker 11: I hope I'm not going over, but you know, I
Speaker 11: think the one thing that he'll say, because I was
Speaker 11: a big video I'm a big I used to be
Speaker 11: a big video game guy for Matt Madden videovideo games.
Speaker 3: I love Madden.
Speaker 11: And they set up some stuff where I went over
Speaker 11: to his house and we had some guys come play,
Speaker 11: and I won twenty four thousand dollars at his house.
Speaker 3: I played. I played all day. We played one thousand dollars.
Speaker 11: A game went by the double, Got to play, Gotta
Speaker 11: Pay went by twenty one Gotta pay double, And we
Speaker 11: called that the Madden Experience at Brian's house and it
Speaker 11: was like incredible. He didn't play, but it was all
Speaker 11: me and so you know, between him and even, like
Speaker 11: I told you before, just so many people.
Speaker 3: When I was going to do that twenty one mile run,
Speaker 3: my longest run, you.
Speaker 11: Know, my mom called me and told me that my
Speaker 11: aunt had just had a stroke and she had passed
Speaker 11: that day, and I still had to go out there
Speaker 11: and run the twenty one miles and I'm just like wow,
Speaker 11: everything just kept coming back to this cost a ton
Speaker 11: of things that just kept coming back. You know, Gary
Speaker 11: Walton and sala Asaiah both played at UCLA. Gary played
Speaker 11: with me at at Helix High School and they both
Speaker 11: had strokes within five months of each other and passed away.
Speaker 11: So it's just a lot of different different themes that
Speaker 11: kept coming back to heart related issues. And it just said, man,
Speaker 11: I'm supposed to be doing this, like I'm supposed to
Speaker 11: do this, and I'm supposed to finish this no matter
Speaker 11: what kind of pain comes my way. We got to
Speaker 11: get through and now I got a shiny metal around
Speaker 11: my neck right now that I've been wearing all day
Speaker 11: for the.
Speaker 3: Last three days about it. So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Nice. Well, you know that there's a marathon going to
Speaker 1: be happening here November first fifteenth. Yeah, we haven't. I mean,
Speaker 1: we were hoping to get that done and we'll off air.
Speaker 1: I need to get with Brandon and set that up
Speaker 1: and maybe have him come out and talk to Garment
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 23: Yeah, okay, oh yeah, right now, I'm just shining this
Speaker 23: thing up and shining to you know, I got an
Speaker 23: Ice and Norman taking everything else because that course is brutal.
Speaker 3: But you know, and they said it was brutal. I mean,

Speaker 1: Do it.

Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a motivational speaker, if he
Speaker 1: wants to be, but that story that he has right
Speaker 1: now and the traction that he has moving forward. He
Speaker 1: needs to jump on that uh that train and start
Speaker 1: chewing it. Yeah. I guarantee you he'll be doing that
Speaker 1: again next year. I mean, because once you start, why
Speaker 1: would you stop? You know, just like you know, it
Speaker 1: feels good a one off, Yeah, it feels good to
Speaker 1: run like just usually you know, Yeah, Forest Gump, I'd
Speaker 1: be like for not stop and come back and oh man,
Speaker 1: run running all over the country. They say, I'm done.
Speaker 1: Where are you doing?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm done. There's nothing else to do. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never had I've never had a want to run
Speaker 1: a marathon, But kudos are the people that do it
Speaker 1: because it is gnarly. Yeah, for sure, super gnarly. Like
Speaker 1: losing your bowels during training too, Like that's always been like, nah,
Speaker 1: I don't really want to crap myself while I'm running,
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't sound fun. I barely keep it together
Speaker 1: as it is right now. So you're running in, you're
Speaker 1: running into here just cheeks. Why Hey, I got this?
Speaker 17: Just in?
Speaker 1: This is breaking. Judge says in order that she will
Speaker 1: deny the two point eight billion dollar for the NCAA
Speaker 1: settlement if the roster limits are not adjusted for the
Speaker 1: sports programs. That just overseeing two point point two point
Speaker 1: eight million settlement multiply. Blah Blah said in order to
Speaker 1: head it down Wednesday that she will deny final approval
Speaker 1: of the agreement if the parties do not modify a
Speaker 1: plan to implement roster limits on college teams fourteen days
Speaker 1: to respond, you want to dive a little bit more. No,
Speaker 1: that's just too much, delve into it. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of stuff. We'll know more, what
Speaker 1: we know more because it's a lot of money obviously, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for all the schools and the programs. And it looks
Speaker 1: like football players would get a minimum of two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars per player each on roster. Is it a
Speaker 1: fifty seven eighty five? I thought then and then stupid
Speaker 1: number both basketball player is probably the same and then
Speaker 1: the rest is for the rest like the ble. So
Speaker 1: are we talking that's what every single player gets? There's
Speaker 1: no more than that or that's the minimum of every
Speaker 1: single No, I think that's what they get. Okay, So
Speaker 1: you're asking me, of course, because I really delved into this,
Speaker 1: so yeah, into this, But that's what my numbers were.
Speaker 1: That's that's on top of the anile, top of the
Speaker 1: we're on the bottom of the annisle minimum. How does
Speaker 1: that affect, uh, non revenue generating sports. It does, Well,
Speaker 1: they get percentages of the piece of the pie. So
Speaker 1: then that would trickle down to where every player on
Speaker 1: say the tennis team, I would assume so, yes, because
Speaker 1: that was one of the gripes from from Adia there
Speaker 1: were she was only going to get two to four
Speaker 1: percent of the pie and she said, well we need more,
Speaker 1: and well, yeah, I mean, should be a gripe of
Speaker 1: chip to being in a high corbett, being his own
Speaker 1: stadium and getting a low I mean, yeah, exactly exactly
Speaker 1: to your point, I was exactly, how's that possible? I
Speaker 1: thought it was an equal type of thing, Title nine
Speaker 1: type of thing. Blah blah blah. Oh no, because you
Speaker 1: football generates this money, Basketball generally this money. They're going
Speaker 1: to get the bulk of the money. I think we
Speaker 1: talked about it, but I think you're going to see
Speaker 1: if something doesn't drastically change, you're going to see so
Speaker 1: many collegiate programs. Yeah, at in the in the golfing world,
Speaker 1: in the tennis world, and the swimming world, and the
Speaker 1: gymnastics world go away because they're going to generate all
Speaker 1: their time and and efforts into basketball and football, which
Speaker 1: is really like people are like, well that's what we watched. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you don't have like could you imagine having a
Speaker 1: daughter or son that has a chance to play at
Speaker 1: the next level and doesn't at the opportunity because they,
Speaker 1: you know, got rid of the program. And you could
Speaker 1: talk about that with the Arizona Junior College losing football, right,
Speaker 1: that was a big that was a big leg down.
Speaker 1: So sorry, do we have a call?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, I totally agree with you. Can we for once?
Speaker 1: So talk about baseball? Did you guys watch the Cubs
Speaker 1: game last night? Man, I don't know why I come
Speaker 1: on this show. There's there's a second round of a
Speaker 1: twenty round in the NBA playoffs, like the Cubs had
Speaker 1: to play the Dodgers. It's seven if they're down ten
Speaker 1: to seven and seven because our bullpen is a little
Speaker 1: show last week too. They do it every game. Man,
Speaker 1: They keep you on the edge of the seat. We'll
Speaker 1: go ahead, tell me because you're dying to tell me,
Speaker 1: Nic why baseball? And that's why you come on this
Speaker 1: show every now and again? I get five seconds of
Speaker 1: baseball on this show. Go ahead, No, no, it's really exciting.
Speaker 1: So they won. Apparently I came back and I had
Speaker 1: a home run bottom of ninth, two outs. Their catcher
Speaker 1: had a two two out home runs. At the game
Speaker 1: in Chicago, Hodge comes on and the tenth inning shuts
Speaker 1: the Dodgers down three out with a man on second
Speaker 1: because you know now the extra ending rule. Man starts
Speaker 1: on second and they come out man on second. Hap
Speaker 1: goes base hit, base knock the right field walk off?
Speaker 1: Is there anything better in baseball than.
Speaker 2: A walk off?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I love a walk off, walk off.
Speaker 1: I'm a single hitter. Do not like a walk walk off?
Speaker 1: Or you're walking in a run? See, I thought I
Speaker 1: got rid of this one. Jay was doing this Dodger talking.
Speaker 1: I got cup talk. No, No, we're good talking. I
Speaker 1: talk baseball. I mean Ray and I were talking about
Speaker 1: the Giants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking about it.
Speaker 1: I mean we want to talk about we've got to go.
Speaker 1: You're such a a minute, you want to call in
Speaker 1: for the last five minutes. That'd be great to shut
Speaker 1: them down so we know about baseball. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: So I guess it was the baseball coach that I
Speaker 1: would ridge that was that go u A word is that? Well,
Speaker 1: we don't know the word is uh, so I guess
Speaker 1: we might find out more later that Dick had brought
Speaker 1: up but he has the same day last name with me.
Speaker 1: But he's I chuged on figure this out, but it
Speaker 1: is what it is. That was pretty funny today with
Speaker 1: the two of you. Yeah, I'm telling you should get
Speaker 1: all your regular callers. You should do an event. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll get you a space, yeah, with padded walls just
Speaker 1: in case. And you should do uh, not a show,
Speaker 1: not a live show by any means, but you should
Speaker 1: do a segment there. Yeah. They wanted to come in, like,
Speaker 1: you know how, maybe special guests, the reading out again,
Speaker 1: Fat Mike and maybe Nico. Nico hasn't called in a while,
Speaker 1: Nico and uh and Gabe. How many regular callers do
Speaker 1: you have? Would you say? Eight? Nine? Yes, you do,
Speaker 1: just do a panel. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, it'd
Speaker 1: be cool if you could do this out of like
Speaker 1: a bar. Yeah, of course, Well you're not going to
Speaker 1: be sober, no no, no, no no. Initially when I
Speaker 1: first started this, this is kind of how I wanted,
Speaker 1: you know, back in the old day, they the sports reporters.
Speaker 1: That was when you were growing up, right,
