Speaker 1: Good evening everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up.
Speaker 1: I hope everybody's fired up tonight. I know my co host,
Speaker 1: my husband, Scott the MotorCity mad Mouth, he was fired
Speaker 1: up on his last show just that he ended Sports Exchange.
Speaker 1: Check it out. Him and Rod Peterson talk a lot
Speaker 1: of NHL. But it's my all star lineup tonight. I
Speaker 1: have next to me Scott the MotorCity mad Mouth, Morgan Roth.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Thanks Katie, enjoy being on this show. This
Speaker 2: is a contrey, baby, I'm fighting in the well. I
Speaker 2: trained this woman. I trained them all in this way
Speaker 2: or two in there and got them all. I'll get nicely.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. But this is your show. I'm
Speaker 2: just hanging out here with you.
Speaker 3: I gotta let me introduce everybody now that you have everybody,
Speaker 3: but I'll do it again and then my usual co host,
Speaker 3: one of my co hosts, who's been on here for jeez, Ralph,
Speaker 3: how long have you been on here with me?
Speaker 1: For a while? A while?
Speaker 4: Now, a few, so it's been a few.
Speaker 1: It's been I think over a year, I think almost.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Ralph.
Speaker 4: I'm still here though you are.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, awesome, And then mister Pensman sports, how are
Speaker 1: you tonight?
Speaker 5: I'm good. I'm ready to get this show rocking and rolling.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, that's awesome. Since the last time we talked, Pensman, though,
Speaker 1: you have a little uh armor arm damage there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had a little fall. But about six weeks
Speaker 5: I'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Okay, is that all only six weeks?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Only six weeks.
Speaker 1: Only six weeks. Well, let's get to our first topic
Speaker 1: of the night, and no it is not with the
Speaker 1: title of the show. We're gonna talk about a lot
Speaker 1: of different topics tonight. We're gonna throw it to a
Speaker 1: couple of different sports. We're first gonna start in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk baseball because one of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
Speaker 1: Paul pitcher Paul Skeins, feels his team can win the
Speaker 1: World Series without spending money like the LA Dodgers. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? Ralph, you're in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: tell us, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 6: I don't know what's Paul Skins maybe his girlfriend or something.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but he's drinking some bad kool aid
Speaker 6: or something. Because the Pittsburgh Pirates have done absolutely nothing
Speaker 6: except re sign Andrew McCutcheon. They brought in a first basement,
Speaker 6: the traded for a couple of relievers, but you know
Speaker 6: they need help in the starting pitching. I guess to
Speaker 6: wait for the scrap heap to come up, so, you know,
Speaker 6: I don't see how they can win. Derek Sheldon's not
Speaker 6: even that good of a manager to begin with, and
Speaker 6: we have a new hitting coach this year, so you know,
Speaker 6: we'll see what happens. You know, I keep my fingers
Speaker 6: crossed every year because that's about all. But thank goodness
Speaker 6: for the progy races, the fireworks and the concerts after
Speaker 6: and the Bible Heads, because if it wasn't for those things,
Speaker 6: nobody would come to a Pirate gamp.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Ouch, Pensman Sports, what do you feel about what Paul
Speaker 1: Skeins had to say?
Speaker 5: You have to spend money to get just you have,
Speaker 5: like the Bets just signed buon Soto. In order to
Speaker 5: get players, you have to spend money. You can't take
Speaker 5: the same team and not spend money two years in
Speaker 5: a row they had the same record. It's not I
Speaker 5: don't know what Paul's thinking. I don't know if his
Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year award got to his head or what.
Speaker 1: So, Scott, the Pirates their peril was eighty four million.
Speaker 1: They ranked twenty ninth. It was one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: six million dollars less than the Dodgers and two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars less than the New York Mets
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty four season. Right, what do you
Speaker 1: think about what Paul Skime said?
Speaker 2: Well, let me pick a back off of Ralph because
Speaker 2: we need to teach him a little bit about journalism. Okay,
Speaker 2: the Pirates are absolutely nothing. Okay, and Utti and Gene
Speaker 2: not nothing. Kidding with the Ralph, I had no choice.
Speaker 2: Segue number one. Okay, before we worry about a world series,
Speaker 2: we're about a winning record. This is the same franchise
Speaker 2: that lost twenty three years in a row and missus
Speaker 2: Roberto Clemeni was playing don't make it twenty one and
Speaker 2: don't work embarrass or Berto. So before we worry about payrolls,
Speaker 2: comparing them to the Dodgers and the Mets, because we
Speaker 2: all know that the Dodgers that are legal, what they're
Speaker 2: doing legal monopoly because they're buying everything that they can
Speaker 2: buy because there's no salary cap in baseball. The Pirates
Speaker 2: have been the pharmacystem for the rest of the Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball for that till the end of time. Do
Speaker 2: let me wrong. It's a problem fan base, it really is.
Speaker 2: I'm convinced of Pittsburgh can sell that building out all
Speaker 2: day long if they go out there and put together
Speaker 2: a good product out there. We're saying good, We're not
Speaker 2: talking about great. I'm sure that the crowds had to
Speaker 2: be pretty decent when he had Barry Bonds there and
Speaker 2: they were winning under Jim Leland. Bring back to any
Speaker 2: time respectably where you get eighty five, I win and
Speaker 2: Pittford's will fought like a bunch of geese because it
Speaker 2: is a great baseball town. What if they won five
Speaker 2: World Series championships. That's not say they won five. So
Speaker 2: the reality of the situation is, Paul to me, I'm
Speaker 2: glad you're there. The question is down the road, can
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pirates afford you? And I would say if
Speaker 2: I had to say they, my answer is absolutely not
Speaker 2: or absolutely not. We will, but not realistic. The Mets
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers have certainly paid a lot of money. Now,
Speaker 2: Marlin's never spent a dime, but yeah, Andrew mccrutch and
Speaker 2: several little better plays in recent history. Well, I hope
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, Paul. I always say, please prove me wrong, please,
Speaker 2: but it didn't get happen here.
Speaker 1: So let me put in my two cents, and my
Speaker 1: two cents are Pittsburgh Pirates. Shame on you. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, your revenue was three hundred and nine million dollars.
Speaker 1: You spent one hundred and twenty million on your payroll
Speaker 1: last year. Can you do it with lower let I mean,
Speaker 1: let's face it, that's a big difference between your revenue
Speaker 1: and your payroll. I'm gonna give you a small town
Speaker 1: market as well, the Milwaukee Brewers because you all know
Speaker 1: that that's my team. Their revenue in twenty twenty or
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three was three hundred and twenty million, yes,
Speaker 1: that was what eleven million more. Their payroll was only
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three million, which is a little
Speaker 1: bit more I will give granted, but they made the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You can do. You don't have to spend Dodger money
Speaker 1: or New York Mets money, but you do have to
Speaker 1: spend money to get some quality players and to generate
Speaker 1: more revenue and more people. And you have to win
Speaker 1: games because then your fans are going to want to
Speaker 1: come back and spend more money. If they spend more money,
Speaker 1: you make more money. The next year, you can spend
Speaker 1: more money and you keep it going. Let's face it,
Speaker 1: the Mets spent a crazy amount of money and the
Speaker 1: Dodgers are up there. But the but are they the
Speaker 1: two teams that always end up in the end in
Speaker 1: the end. Is it always the highest payroll that end
Speaker 1: up winning the World Series?
Speaker 6: No, no, not at all. Tampa Bay was in the
Speaker 6: World Series and they had a low payroll.
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, reality, Well, memory will tell you that the
Speaker 2: Kansas City Royal Word World Series Championship against.
Speaker 4: The mat Yes.
Speaker 6: Yes, so you know, low budget teams can win.
Speaker 4: But they have to have a good scouting. They have
Speaker 4: to have a good manager.
Speaker 6: They have to have a good front office that's well
Speaker 6: and an owner that's at least willing to spend a
Speaker 6: little bit of money and bringing a couple of decent
Speaker 6: star You don't have to have the farm and a
Speaker 6: good farm system.
Speaker 4: You got to have a good farm system.
Speaker 6: Pirates have one but it's just a concept of can
Speaker 6: they keep that farm system going and and and they
Speaker 6: have to get some some uh at least one or
Speaker 6: two quality guys to come in and at least try to,
Speaker 6: you know, try to do something.
Speaker 4: I'm satisfied.
Speaker 6: I would be satisfied if they won five hundred, because,
Speaker 6: like Scott's, at least that's something that's winning, you know
Speaker 6: what I.
Speaker 4: Mean, you know, major league to pirates, Yes, exactly, I
Speaker 4: agree with you.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I know, but you know, I'm a hard for journalist.
Speaker 2: It's hard to argue with the max.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: One of the things that happened this week in baseball,
Speaker 1: besides Paul saying that is we had Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: was announced Scott who made the Hall of Fame this time?
Speaker 2: Billy Wagner. Suzukis that's the one vote. I hear that
Speaker 2: Suzuki is trying to find out who's the one person
Speaker 2: that snubbed them. They got it right on the ballot
Speaker 2: this time. They did the three that belonged in there,
Speaker 2: the other two that fell short and will make it
Speaker 2: next year. Because when I looked at the newcomers coming
Speaker 2: out of the ballot, I didn't say, but it struck
Speaker 2: me familiar fight where it's gonna be Billy Wagner. Glad
Speaker 2: he made it in the tenth year of her ability.
Speaker 2: She Savantis Sabati, excuse me all tongue. Time there Beatarezuk
Speaker 2: only or one or guns on the ballot, it'll be
Speaker 2: a great class. I think I have what Dick Allen
Speaker 2: and Dave Partner another Pittsford guys that get in there,
Speaker 2: so they have a nine class going in this year.
Speaker 2: I've been to cooper Son a couple of times. Candy
Speaker 2: Mader first trip there, great place to go if you'd
Speaker 2: ever been there. Fell out their goats in unelievable place.
Speaker 2: Bag Fall got it right this time.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna give you a little bit of background.
Speaker 1: There are some people that are saying that the reason
Speaker 1: why one voter votes against is because Babe Ruth and
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron didn't get in one hundred percent unanimous, and
Speaker 1: so they don't want them to overtake them. So with
Speaker 1: that being said, is that the way it went down.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Chiro is the first Japanese player
Speaker 1: elected to Cooperstown. He had over nineteen seasons between the
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees, and Marlins. Uh Sabbathia was
Speaker 1: baseball's premier work course over nineteen seasons with Cleveland, the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, and the Yankees. He retired with a two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one wins, one hundred and sixty one
Speaker 1: losses record, three point seventy four ERA and three thousand,
Speaker 1: ninety three strikeouts. And then, the last, but not least,
Speaker 1: Wagner gained, like you said, Scott, entry into the Hall
Speaker 1: in its tenth and final year of eligibility. Let's see,
Speaker 1: he was the fifty.
Speaker 4: Three mm hmm, I mean John David Kohne.
Speaker 1: I see her, Wow, fifty three year old who pitched
Speaker 1: for five teams over sixteen big league seasons. He was
Speaker 1: very emotional when he got his call. So, Pensman, your thoughts.
Speaker 5: Did Billy Wagner get in with the Phillies's got bill?
Speaker 5: Did Billy Wagner get in with the with the Phillies
Speaker 5: as astros? Okay? Because he was the closer for that.
Speaker 2: I think he had like four hundred, some say.
Speaker 5: But I used to My dad used to take me
Speaker 5: to Phillies games a lot, and I saw Billy Wagner
Speaker 5: I got to see CC a lot. I didn't get
Speaker 5: to see each roll, but I think they did all right.
Speaker 5: I'm happy with with those guys. They deserve it. Could
Speaker 5: more people make it in, yeah, but the voters will vote,
Speaker 5: so I think baseball got it right this time.
Speaker 2: Tell me answer you guys the question. You know who
Speaker 2: we're what team that Neutro got a three timeand hit one?
Speaker 5: Was it Seattle?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's your guess? What about you? Ralph?
Speaker 4: Well, what's the question again? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, newtro got a three talents hit club?
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, I couldn't even tell you that for real.
Speaker 6: I could take a guess.
Speaker 4: I'd say the Yankees, Miami, Miami, Marlins, Marlin.
Speaker 2: Okay, fire throw it in there.
Speaker 5: Oh that's fun.
Speaker 6: I thought, I gotta get knowledge.
Speaker 2: You know what, Ralph, nobody would have not too many
Speaker 2: people would have gotten this one. He'll kill do that.
Speaker 2: Don't look at that as a knock. Let's just call
Speaker 2: that as an f yi. Okay, that's all.
Speaker 1: And one of the things I would say Pensman is
Speaker 1: I agree that, but I think putting only three in
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame in a year really gives
Speaker 1: makes it stand out and makes it that much more
Speaker 1: special because there was how many people they could have
Speaker 1: actually you know that retired and could have were eligible.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I personally don't remember the last time they put four
Speaker 2: in in one year off the bet maybe record, I
Speaker 2: don't remember, probably even a while, but three a decent amount,
Speaker 2: let alone these particular three players, they were all well deserved.
Speaker 2: And there's another little piece of information. Billy Wagner barely
Speaker 2: his first year, barely had over five percent, so he
Speaker 2: kept growing and grow on until he hit that threshold.
Speaker 2: Were by the last couple of years, even the sixty
Speaker 2: to seventy percent range. It was a matter of time
Speaker 2: where he's gonna get in and loan the oldie dead.
Speaker 1: So he got so each year O got in with
Speaker 1: ninety nine point seven percent. Ccbathia got in with eighty
Speaker 1: six point eight, Billy Wagner got in with eighty two
Speaker 1: point five. The next one Carlos Beltron and is with
Speaker 1: his third year of trying to get in, his percentage
Speaker 1: was at seventy point three. And I will say that
Speaker 1: these three got in from the writers. There are two others,
Speaker 1: Dick Allen and Dave Parker, who were elected in December
Speaker 1: on the Er Committee ballot, and then longtime Cleveland Guardians
Speaker 1: broadcaster Tom Hamilton will also be honored as induction weekend
Speaker 1: as the winner of this year's Ford C. Frick Award
Speaker 1: for Broadcasting Excellence. The class of twenty twenty five will
Speaker 1: be four normally inducted July twenty seventh in Cooperstown. And
Speaker 1: like Scott said, if you have never been it is
Speaker 1: it is a hall that you need to go to
Speaker 1: if you are any if you are any type of
Speaker 1: baseball fan, I don't care what team you're a fan of.
Speaker 1: I don't care how many players are in the Hall
Speaker 1: from your team. It's really cool to see the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame and Cooperstown, Cooperstown, the whole town. So it's
Speaker 1: not just the actual Hall of Fame. I mean you go,
Speaker 1: you go down the streets of Cooperstown and the light
Speaker 1: posts have baseballs on them and all the different memorabilia places.
Speaker 1: You can go to Doubles Day Field, which is a
Speaker 1: little field next not too far down the road, and
Speaker 1: it's just a very pretty area in upstate New York
Speaker 1: that's kind of out in the middle of nowhere, and
Speaker 1: it's got a beautiful lake and just a beautiful area.
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend anybody to take a trip up there.
Speaker 2: Well amazingly enough, I didn't take you until Monday, but
Speaker 2: you drove by it, and we drove around the whole area,
Speaker 2: and I had a lot of apple cider. Apple siteer
Speaker 2: was good, so we couldn't have enough of that stuff anyway,
Speaker 2: And the lake was unbelievable, the surrendering one were driving.
Speaker 2: And then we got to the museum actually on I
Speaker 2: think Monday, and then of course my colleague Mark Meriday
Speaker 2: was there and we ended up meeting in person. And
Speaker 2: Mark Merriday was regular here on the Softworks of You
Speaker 2: and Broadcasting Network and we do baseball. He's going to
Speaker 2: be joining me in hockey as well, so you know,
Speaker 2: this kid was out there playing ball and we had
Speaker 2: just so happened we were there at the same time
Speaker 2: we met up. We did the show remotely. So yeah,
Speaker 2: super consent place. I've been there, thankfully, I think now
Speaker 2: three times. Only sure Candy got there. I told her
Speaker 2: once to go to the field of tree we did
Speaker 2: in Iowa. I said, I'm taking the Coopers down and
Speaker 2: lo and behold we were able to do it. And
Speaker 2: then on top of that trip, we ended up going
Speaker 2: to New York City, and then that took her by
Speaker 2: where the old Yankee Citium wasn't a new one, and
Speaker 2: that really gave her a real case of New York
Speaker 2: and one little town outside of It's a cute little town,
Speaker 2: and I remember Donating, who used to play out of
Speaker 2: a little bit of.
Speaker 5: Gives me chills. I'll tell you that I am going.
Speaker 1: To take you guys to a sport that we don't
Speaker 1: talk about very much on this on fire up. I'm
Speaker 1: going to take you to men's college basketball because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna throw you a curveball.
Speaker 5: Looka Stephen F.
Speaker 1: Austin State University announced today that men's it was yesterday
Speaker 1: that men's basketball head coach Kyle Keller has been relieved
Speaker 1: of his duties, effective immediately. The decision to make a
Speaker 1: change in leadership comes after disappointing one in seven start
Speaker 1: to Southern Conference play and an eight and eleven overall
Speaker 1: record for the season. This program's last conference champion came
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. The last NC two A tournament
Speaker 1: appearance was in twenty eighteen. What record is the right
Speaker 1: time during the middle of a season in college to
Speaker 1: let a head coach.
Speaker 6: Go, that's wrong. I mean you should wait till the
Speaker 6: end of the season at least give him that that
Speaker 6: benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 4: See where he takes the team.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know there's always two there's two halfs
Speaker 6: to every season. And what happens is is if you
Speaker 6: fire the coach in the middle of the season and
Speaker 6: then you know, the momentum of your team, even whatever
Speaker 6: is there is gone.
Speaker 4: They're like, well, forget this.
Speaker 6: I'm not playing for this, you know, because I was
Speaker 6: here to play for this coach. And then now you
Speaker 6: got everybody jump into the transfer portal and you're not
Speaker 6: going to have anybody. That's exactly what happens when you
Speaker 6: do that in the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: Pensman, your thoughts.
Speaker 5: I thought you were to go to a different route.
Speaker 5: But to answer your question, that is wrong. There is
Speaker 5: two half basketball there. Like like Ralph said, there's people
Speaker 5: that the recruiter goes to your house, the coach goes
Speaker 5: to your house be like, hey, you want to play
Speaker 5: for my team. Here's the reason why, Here's why I
Speaker 5: give you. Here's how much money you'll get.
Speaker 2: Make this.
Speaker 5: You'll see this, You'll see that. Here's our rivalry team.
Speaker 5: And then once he's gone, the new coach comes in
Speaker 5: and everybody be like, you know what's going on here?
Speaker 5: It's like it's totally stumped the players, and I don't
Speaker 5: agree with it.
Speaker 1: Scott, your thoughts on.
Speaker 2: This particular topic. When was the momentum there at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the year which provided the impetence for them
Speaker 2: to let him go? That's why they tried to make
Speaker 2: a change the same things up. Now, keep in mind
Speaker 2: this is the exception of the rule. You're talking about
Speaker 2: a level like this or the cover is buried again
Speaker 2: with I mean, the guy a little bit of a break.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like you're playing Division one, Power
Speaker 2: four or five conference, but you know, administrations at the
Speaker 2: what was the guy getting paid thirty five or forty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year to coach this group? I have
Speaker 2: no idea what they can afford to do. I don't
Speaker 2: know how big their stadium.
Speaker 4: Is, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of variables and unknowns, and
Speaker 2: we don't know about the particular university. But whatever reason
Speaker 2: they made, I don't know. They think they're going to
Speaker 2: get a spark plug. But the question is is what's
Speaker 2: the next it's going to say, you let this guy
Speaker 2: had a little success, he go to let me go.
Speaker 2: Why would I want to take the job? So an
Speaker 2: adtisement or or an endorsement.
Speaker 1: For me coach Keller had entered. That was his eighth
Speaker 1: season in charge of the Lumberjack basketball program. He was
Speaker 1: coming off a nineteen and eleven campaign. He continued to
Speaker 1: raise the bar and over the past four seasons to
Speaker 1: have compiled an overall record of eight thirty one, which
Speaker 1: ranks thirteenth best in all of NC to a Division
Speaker 1: IE level. He is the fastest coach in SFA. He
Speaker 1: was the fastest coach in SFA history to record one
Speaker 1: hundred wins and now has an all time record of
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five and sixty nine plus a
Speaker 1: conference mark of eighty nine and thirty six. And yet
Speaker 1: they left him go.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll have a hard time getting employment
Speaker 2: those for.
Speaker 4: No, not at all, Not at all.
Speaker 6: And sometimes you get these alums that they don't they
Speaker 6: just for some reason they have his big heart onto
Speaker 6: the fact that they don't like this guy because I
Speaker 6: don't you know, or maybe the athletic director looked at
Speaker 6: it at a and it just said, well, maybe we
Speaker 6: need something better. But you know what, sometimes you know,
Speaker 6: firing this coach like this and trying to look for
Speaker 6: something better there now, unless you got money, forget it.
Speaker 1: One of Scott's quotes that I will quote him on,
Speaker 1: if you're going to fire somebody, especially in the middle
Speaker 1: of a season, do you have somebody better in mind
Speaker 1: when you do that. If you do, then maybe it's
Speaker 1: okay and you make this this switch and this change.
Speaker 1: But if you don't, what message are you sending to everybody.
Speaker 4: Exactly?
Speaker 2: So well, new case is not the right one.
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting and that's why I thought
Speaker 1: we'd I'd bring it up to Mike.
Speaker 2: It was great. I think it's a great idea. Came
Speaker 2: up with a human interest story. Nobody in the planet
Speaker 2: will come up.
Speaker 5: And if you do what you say, Candy, you have
Speaker 5: to tell the players, Hey, this is who's going to
Speaker 5: take over before you fire the old coach.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because you know what though, Pensman, some of
Speaker 6: those players might even stay. On the other hand, you know,
Speaker 6: and especially if you have an assistant in the system.
Speaker 4: That recruit you.
Speaker 6: Yes, then you're saving your team and you're saving what
Speaker 6: you have and you're saving everything you know.
Speaker 4: But you don't have astem within the system. Forget it,
Speaker 4: You're done.
Speaker 5: That's why I brought that up, Casey.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was a good point though, that really was,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: So my next question the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 5: Here we go, Here we goes guys.
Speaker 7: They they let their head coach go two weeks ago,
Speaker 7: two weeks in a day, so they've been searching for
Speaker 7: a head coach and to their surprise, nobody really was
Speaker 7: as interested.
Speaker 1: Nobody that they wanted was really interested. And it's because
Speaker 1: the GM. So two weeks later they decided to fire
Speaker 1: the GM finally, and now they're finding that some of
Speaker 1: their top prospects that they wanted for head coach have
Speaker 1: left and gone other places. But the interesting, interesting thing
Speaker 1: I thought was earlier this week, Bucks Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Liam Cohen told the Jacksonville Jaguars that he
Speaker 1: was going to go back to his job with Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay now that they fired the GM. He's back to
Speaker 1: talking with Jacksonville. What are thoughts about this whole?
Speaker 2: You know, Ralph, I was thinking the same thing, and
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I'm sorry candy, but Ralph
Speaker 2: stumbled out something go ahead.
Speaker 1: I was saying that we're going to start with you
Speaker 1: talking about the whole situation.
Speaker 2: Scott, your thoughts, oh, I mother just point at Ralph
Speaker 2: now Byron leftwish to me doesn't sound so stupid. Look
Speaker 2: four years ago, Doug Peterson, with all due respect, did
Speaker 2: the best he could work under Trent Bulky. They're talking
Speaker 2: about a guy like Jim Harbaugh who couldn't work with
Speaker 2: him either. Okay, Jim tom Suwa won and done, couldn't
Speaker 2: work with him. Ship Kelly, by the way, fresh off
Speaker 2: financial championship with the Ohio State University, don't either. Then
Speaker 2: Bulky gets let go my mot move the clock forward, right,
Speaker 2: and what do you have? Jacksonville under five hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty some odd games out the door for Peterson or
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's getting paid good by con And of
Speaker 2: course fire and left was like where else said didn't
Speaker 2: want to work with this guy. Working with him was
Speaker 2: like career suicide. Probably is right, that's why everybody would
Speaker 2: turn him down. The right left. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Dan Johnson was going to Chicago anyways. Aaron Glenn playing
Speaker 2: for the NIT for the new York Jets wanted to
Speaker 2: go there. I don't think they necessarily lost out on
Speaker 2: those guys because they knew where they wanted to go,
Speaker 2: So yeah, they did, so it'll be so I don't
Speaker 2: really I think Jacksonville may have caught it just a
Speaker 2: little bit in time. They really did. When Liam Cohen,
Speaker 2: I get paid pretty good money not to work with
Speaker 2: turn bulking with the Bucks exactly all right. So but
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you've got a situation where,
Speaker 2: you know, the way I look at it is it
Speaker 2: isn't so bad after all. That may not be a
Speaker 2: bad job. Now I will go and have a little
Speaker 2: bit of fun with this clip here because on the
Speaker 2: External Bump Show, I got involved in the debate with
Speaker 2: the an internal bum. Okay, that talked about Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 2: and that internal bum didn't think it could play. But
Speaker 2: that internal bum, you know what the problem is that
Speaker 2: this guy he's never said in a dark press box,
Speaker 2: never covered a game as person. And I know Trevor
Speaker 2: Wawrins is a good quarterback. You don't win a national
Speaker 2: championship with clenching by accident. Under Devil Sweeney, It's hard
Speaker 2: to start off, Okay, with Irvin Meyer and then and
Speaker 2: Doug Peters forget on everything in the plus at least
Speaker 2: he got paid, okay, and then Doug Peterson trading them
Speaker 2: out and they want to call for I had a
Speaker 2: couple of decent years anyways, and all of a sudden
Speaker 2: it ends this way. So the internal poem lost that debate,
Speaker 2: and the reality of the situation is is now Liam Cohen,
Speaker 2: there's no interference from Trent cancer bulky. That's what it is.
Speaker 2: And if I want to go out to another name,
Speaker 2: Trent toxic Bulky as out of the picture, and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden this becomes a much better job, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm I'm glad the cons fired him. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know, because that way now they can get a coach.
Speaker 6: And if I'm trying to hire our head coach because
Speaker 6: of your general manager, you know that should have been
Speaker 6: done a long time ago. But you know what, I'm
Speaker 6: glad they did it. They woke up a little bit,
Speaker 6: and now they're going to get a coach. The question
Speaker 6: is who's going to be their general manager. That's gonna
Speaker 6: be the question.
Speaker 1: But they're looking for the head coach first.
Speaker 2: Troy Lyon did it doesn't matter. They got Dan Campbell
Speaker 2: and then they had Bradle. Maybe that worked a big
Speaker 2: delicate that can be, that can happen.
Speaker 1: Yes, Pensman, your thoughts.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 5: To answer Jay's question, the wing is starting to get
Speaker 5: a little bit better, but I'm still sore. But Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 5: I want you to listen to me. Listen to me closely.
Speaker 5: Go to Florida, Dore, what happened to Dallas. Go the
Speaker 5: flint plate down to Florida and do the best you
Speaker 5: can and coach Jacksonville and see if you can make
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence like he was in Clemson. As the GM situation,
Speaker 5: they will get that GM situation situated because every situation,
Speaker 5: every GM comes in and they will find a replacement
Speaker 5: for that GM and hopefully, hopefully at GM will be
Speaker 5: good enough to win a playoff game.
Speaker 2: You know, I think you're right. I think Lewis Rick
Speaker 2: would be a good.
Speaker 4: It's a smart guy. He's really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he is a really smart guy. I really
Speaker 2: am with be on that one. But the realities will
Speaker 2: get the coach. But now that you got rid of
Speaker 2: the cancer and the problem, this job because the thing
Speaker 2: is covering games of Jacksonville for the last so many years.
Speaker 2: This is a football town that is waiting until he roup.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be building a brand, tearing their own building
Speaker 2: apart practically and starting a new and a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago to have a state of the are facility
Speaker 2: in their building offices right down the street, and they
Speaker 2: already have a good training area where they practice, so
Speaker 2: they're doing some good things there. I enjoyed being part
Speaker 2: of the Jag for many years under my friend Dan
Speaker 2: Edwards and with David Woolf. So this is a franchise
Speaker 2: that's on the up. Fling and Trent Bulky had to
Speaker 2: go shod Con had already seen enough. You can't go
Speaker 2: through coach after coach after coach. It doesn't want to
Speaker 2: go there. And it gets back to what Ralph said
Speaker 2: at the time at the top of the thing. Byron left,
Speaker 2: which isn't as stupid as most people think he is.
Speaker 2: You didn't want to work with him, So I'm betting
Speaker 2: you on that one, Ralph ah way.
Speaker 4: And you know what the other team's gout.
Speaker 6: They got egg on their face now because you know
Speaker 6: why they didn't want to hire him, because they said, well,
Speaker 6: if he can't work with bulky how come he can't
Speaker 6: work with these other guys here and those other teams
Speaker 6: that didn't hire him now are regretting it now because
Speaker 6: because of that situation. But you know what though, Byron Up,
Speaker 6: which is the one that's laughing.
Speaker 2: Last, Yeah, there you go, well said.
Speaker 1: Scott. This one's this, this one's for you here. Okay,
Speaker 1: the picture the picture of the bull that's behind you, Scott,
Speaker 1: where's that from?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That one Florida.
Speaker 1: So j I let me preface that. Scott got a
Speaker 1: new vehicle called it the Bull Cruiser. We thought about
Speaker 1: putting the front license plate being a picture of a bull,
Speaker 1: so that actually is a license plate, but we don't
Speaker 1: have They don't put front license plates on cars anymore,
Speaker 1: so you only have the back one. But on the
Speaker 1: back on his license plate the surround does say Bull Cruiser.
Speaker 1: And that is actually a picture that I did take
Speaker 1: at South Florida. Yes, that so that's what that is from.
Speaker 1: That's actually a license plate that we had made from
Speaker 1: a picture that I took. Pensman, they want to know
Speaker 1: what you have to say.
Speaker 5: I have a question for all you guys, how would
Speaker 5: you feel if Jimmy Johnson was the GM of the Jaguars.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson. Yeah, we know Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to pay somebody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a general manager of the Dallas Cowboys when
Speaker 2: they swiddled the Minnesota Vikings and they're making that ridiculous trade.
Speaker 2: But that's why I don't think it'd be too many
Speaker 2: days off the boat out of Key Lark. Oh, he
Speaker 2: would do it, but.
Speaker 5: I know it'd be an interesting name.
Speaker 2: Though now a little bit too late, as eighty years old,
Speaker 2: he's having a good time broadcast thing and hanging out
Speaker 2: on a boat. I think it's been great. Maybe ten
Speaker 2: years ago, okay, but he was technically the general manager
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys because we don't Yeah, because technically
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones doesn't want anything to nineteen ninety five when
Speaker 2: Johnson was there again at Larry Switzer, who was headed
Speaker 2: a ranked thanks to Jimmy Johnson. That's another day for
Speaker 2: another story.
Speaker 1: So I will say that Jacksonville Jaguars have come out
Speaker 1: and said that they're going to hire the head coach first,
Speaker 1: and I think that's because there's so many other head
Speaker 1: coaching vacancies out there that they want to make sure
Speaker 1: that they get the guy that they want before he's gone.
Speaker 1: I will also say that former Jaguars Tony Boselli is
Speaker 1: one of the He was an All He was a
Speaker 1: five time pro bowler. He started ninety games for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars between ninety five and two thousand and one. He
Speaker 1: is a Hall of Famer. He is now part of
Speaker 1: the Jaguars coaching search to help with the process as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that reminds you of what happened in Detroit when
Speaker 2: Chris Fielman was a part of the process of Detroit.
Speaker 2: And Tony Mcelli is a really respect the name and
Speaker 2: was a Jaguars he really is. So if he's a
Speaker 2: charms of the coaching search and then eventually he'll be
Speaker 2: part of the GM search, more powers and they got
Speaker 2: a good guy. Tody was Selly is really well respected
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 4: Absolutely hall of famer.
Speaker 1: So my question what where do we think Robert Salah
Speaker 1: will end up, because there have been conflicting reports that
Speaker 1: he was one of the front runners for the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: He was supposed to be flying out to the Jaguars tomorrow.
Speaker 1: There are reports that he canceled his flight now because
Speaker 1: of the because Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Cohen
Speaker 1: has re engaged in talks. There are a report out
Speaker 1: there that the forty nine ers are going to hire
Speaker 1: him as defensive coordinator for their second stint. What do
Speaker 1: we think? Where will he?
Speaker 8: And?
Speaker 1: Uh Pensman, We're going to start.
Speaker 5: With you, I say, New Orleans.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, you stole my thunder on that one,
Speaker 6: because that's what you know what the.
Speaker 4: Great minds think alike?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, yeah, that would be the job I
Speaker 6: think he could he would take.
Speaker 5: Easily, easily. Sat the Saints are easily.
Speaker 2: I wonder where you've got that line from Ralph?
Speaker 4: You great mind, like my.
Speaker 2: Friend, more than I give him credit for let the
Speaker 2: road to two hundreds begin today.
Speaker 5: And the recent I'm saying the Saints is because the
Speaker 5: team had. The team's good enough, and he wants to
Speaker 5: be indoors. He's tired of being in the cold.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I just think.
Speaker 5: The team's ready and they're ready to They just need
Speaker 5: a good coach to get him motivated. Go ahead, Ralph, Ralph.
Speaker 1: He agrees with you, Orleans ahead. Anything else you want
Speaker 1: to add to.
Speaker 4: That, No, I'm good man, I'm good Okay, Scott.
Speaker 2: The only place that makes sense for me now is
Speaker 2: he goes back to the forty nine ers and makes
Speaker 2: a boat load of money with the Niners. I don't
Speaker 2: see a head coaching job that he would take. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe the Raiders job would be appealing. The Saints on
Speaker 2: I think they need an offensive mining coach that really
Speaker 2: did take them money with the forty nine ers, and
Speaker 2: they'll pay you a lot of money. They appreciate what
Speaker 2: you did before. They're probably thrilled that you're available again.
Speaker 2: We all know that he did a great job at
Speaker 2: that Jets defense before he was let go one ceremoniously
Speaker 2: by Woody Johnson. He really did. You can't tell me
Speaker 2: what the interim coach did. That defense went south pretty quick,
Speaker 2: didn't it. So take them money with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a head coaching job that would
Speaker 2: make sense for Robert saw I know Larry Putten, I
Speaker 2: believe is a front runner for the Lions defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: If he wasn't, I would say Robert Salace should go
Speaker 2: back to Detroit take that job, because he's from Dearborn,
Speaker 2: Michigan anyway, But I see him heading back to San
Speaker 2: Francisco unless for some reason or another shocking development takes
Speaker 2: place and he gets one of a few head coaching jobs.
Speaker 2: But you know what the variables, Jerry Jones, what would
Speaker 2: he do? But really the front runner for that job
Speaker 2: I think is either Tellen Moore or was it Schottenheimer?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Brian Schottenheimer. Yes, I think yeah, it'll.
Speaker 2: Be one of those two guys that I think ultimately
Speaker 2: gets it.
Speaker 1: So we have some championship NFC and AFC championship games
Speaker 1: this weekend predictions, and I'm going to start with Ralph.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the first game at three PM on Sunday,
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders against the Philadelphia Eagles. Who's gonna bill?
Speaker 6: Bill car once said, this is a National Football League
Speaker 6: and anything can happen. Okay, Uh, you know, Washington's had
Speaker 6: a good season. He got a rookie quarterback. But I
Speaker 6: don't want to see Kenny Pickett get a Super Bowl ring,
Speaker 6: So therefore I'm taking Washington in this game only for
Speaker 6: that purpose, all right. Uh, Philly does have a good team,
Speaker 6: they have some good coordinators. If Kellen Moore leaves, but
Speaker 6: if they don't win a Super Bowl, Sirianni, I think
Speaker 6: he gets fired. So I mean, you know, uh, they
Speaker 6: they're desperate, and sometimes desperate teams screw up. So guess
Speaker 6: what Washington might win this game?
Speaker 1: Pennsman, Well, wait, wait, wait, let's go to the Let's
Speaker 1: go to the other game first for Ralph so he
Speaker 1: can make his two predictions. Go the Chiefs.
Speaker 6: I want Buffalo because I don't want to see the
Speaker 6: Chiefs get three in a row.
Speaker 1: Okay, Pensman.
Speaker 5: Oh, I have the Commanders winning because of Jadon Daniels
Speaker 5: and I have nothing against Kenny Pickett. So if the
Speaker 5: Eagles win, it's because of Berkley. So that's what I
Speaker 5: have to put on that one. And the Bills are
Speaker 5: beating the Chiefs, That's what That's what I'm thinking I have.
Speaker 4: So I don't hate.
Speaker 6: I just didn't like the way he conducted himself when
Speaker 6: he was told that he had to compete for his
Speaker 6: job and cried like a little baby, so the Steelers
Speaker 6: had to ship him out.
Speaker 2: Okay, Scott, Ralph, I was giving you. I was giving
Speaker 2: you a smart handle showing to you said that Sirianni
Speaker 2: doesn't when he's gonna get fired. Now, I'm gonna find
Speaker 2: a dunk cap and send it p's your address out
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. How can you say Syrian is gonna get fired?
Speaker 2: Are you seriously stupid?
Speaker 4: Super Bow or bust? He's done?
Speaker 2: Hey hear it, Sirianni's back getting fired, Rolph seriously.
Speaker 5: Really Philotal and Sri Srianni too much now I got
Speaker 5: Sterri activated here and upset with me on the phone
Speaker 5: here because I'm so wow.
Speaker 2: Serious thinks I'm going crazy because showing this guy out. Ralph,
Speaker 2: you were smart, old show. How did you get stupid
Speaker 2: over Sirihanni getting fired?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Picking away? Okay, sirih it's okay. We're on live set.
Speaker 2: We're on the live show here, Okay, so don't worry.
Speaker 2: I'm cool, sirih You know you know these things and
Speaker 2: how they light up here when you get a little loud,
Speaker 2: and so happens that mind's a little bit loudier. That's
Speaker 2: called an iPhone people. But you know, I like him.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have it any other way her predictions. But
Speaker 2: you're saying the guy would get fired. Wow, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call you the internal bomb on this show.
Speaker 2: I don't come on here very often. I'll call you
Speaker 2: the turnal bum on this show. You know what that's
Speaker 2: is tonight with you, l It's what you call me
Speaker 2: picking Bill can Seriously, Ralph, I know you can't handle it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: my predictions, Yeah, I forgot. I had to give those, Okay, Washington, Yeah, Washington.
Speaker 2: The last time the Washington team played the Detroit Lions
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, back in nineteen ninety two, they went
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. They beat the Lions. This year
Speaker 2: they get back to the Super Bowl again. Unbelievable year
Speaker 2: for dan Quinn. What a remarkable turned around. Jade Daniels.
Speaker 2: Lions didn't help matters out and all by having five
Speaker 2: turn rowers for the two bad that the internal bum
Speaker 2: on the other show was having a having a Ryan
Speaker 2: song here mourning the death of that team when reality
Speaker 2: set that the turnover situation will bite you all day
Speaker 2: long and it's worse than a picking cobra snake that
Speaker 2: will give you a venom in the wrong places. But
Speaker 2: true with the prediction itself. Washington, there, and I gotta
Speaker 2: go with Kansas City until Buffalo proofs that they can
Speaker 2: beat this team. I'm gonna go with Kansas City. Seriously, Yeah,
Speaker 2: why you said you're gonna be wrong?
Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying that Buffalo has a chance this week.
Speaker 8: They have a chance. Come on, Penny, everybody kis have
Speaker 8: a chance. But according to that internal bum up in Michigan, Okay,
Speaker 8: and I really haven't a loot of times from my
Speaker 8: story here tonight, the reality wa ain't morning a team.
Speaker 8: We're just talking about the reality of the situation of
Speaker 8: the four that are in there. You can't have commit
Speaker 8: five turtles like it did against the Houston Texas.
Speaker 2: It's me to win. You can't do it. But Josh
Speaker 2: Allen is a heck of a quarterback, Okay. And if
Speaker 2: you if this guy is on fire, and the Chiefs
Speaker 2: have won a lot of close games. If this game,
Speaker 2: to me, as far as I'm concerned, can't get closed.
Speaker 2: If it gets closed and you have Josh Allen, as
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, the Bills have a puncher's change.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to Kansas City right now. Until Buffalo
Speaker 2: approves to either. They can't over take this theme once
Speaker 2: and for all. And as far as Sirianni getting fired, well, Ralph,
Speaker 2: I think no by now at the torch that he
Speaker 2: needed that and getting fired, I think they're really happy
Speaker 2: with what he's done, and then of course he got
Speaker 2: say Kwan bark, the future of me be playing on
Speaker 2: that team. But I still say Washington comes away, will
Speaker 2: the win, and Dan Quinn looks like a genius because
Speaker 2: he how smarteran Dan Campbell and beat Campbell in his
Speaker 2: own game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I have breaking Bob.
Speaker 6: It's called the Bobby Lane Curse. My co host smoking
Speaker 6: Jim Fraser, he says to Bobby Lane curse.
Speaker 4: He calls it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty hard to say. You know, the last time
Speaker 2: that a championship was on December twenty ninth, nineteen fifty seven.
Speaker 2: I was born December twenty ninth, nineteen sixty two. I
Speaker 2: remember that day because my birthday. I haven't lived toy
Speaker 2: one of those bad boys. I'm actually helping Alliance to
Speaker 2: get to the super Bowl, not because of the fact
Speaker 2: that I'm a fan, because I'm not. I feel an
Speaker 2: objective journalist here. But I'll tell you the sound bite
Speaker 2: from Campbell would have been something that would have been unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Pensman, you were going to say something, I have breaking Dudes.
Speaker 5: Camp Jordan's didn't practice all week. Dallas Gallard diad practice
Speaker 5: all week. Commanders Go Eat Go, eat.
Speaker 1: Okay, now we are too. One of the segments that
Speaker 1: I may I created when I I don't know, probably
Speaker 1: not too long after I started the show, and it
Speaker 1: is my Town. So that is a segment where you
Speaker 1: talk about something that is happening in the town you
Speaker 1: live in now or the towne you grew up with in,
Speaker 1: if that's whichever one you prefer. So we are gonna
Speaker 1: start with Ralph, what's happening in your town?
Speaker 4: Well, not a whole lot.
Speaker 6: Penguins are doing the roller coaster season again and uh
Speaker 6: you know, so went in, went in about two games,
Speaker 6: three games and losing ten. Uh they just uh the
Speaker 6: most Christian, Tristan Jari is down in the minors where
Speaker 6: he belongs. And uh, we're gonna see what happens with
Speaker 6: the rest of the season with the Penguins and uh,
Speaker 6: you know the Pirates. Of course we had the Paul
Speaker 6: Skiings discussion earlier this but pitchers and catchers coming are
Speaker 6: starting up I think in the next week or two.
Speaker 6: Uh so for baseball, So get everybody ready for the
Speaker 6: for the games, and this week's championship games are gonna
Speaker 6: be interesting. They can grab congratulations to Ohio State for
Speaker 6: beating Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: So okay, Scott, what's happening in your town?
Speaker 2: I'm warning your reveling shirt tonight. I had a great
Speaker 2: time warning an Ron Peterson show Red Wings four of
Speaker 2: Montreal too. What can I say? Great win by the
Speaker 2: Wings and the best part about it is Rod Peterson
Speaker 2: in Montreal. I had Detroit. Rod, if you're listening here
Speaker 2: in the software to me and Broadcasting Network, and you
Speaker 2: probably are got me again, I tell you good win
Speaker 2: for the Wings over the halps. It really was. Had
Speaker 2: a great time with Rod today and you know what,
Speaker 2: I've enjoyed coming on the show. You guys are a
Speaker 2: lot of fun to be with. I love everyone. You know,
Speaker 2: I've had a high energy today the amount of Diame
Speaker 2: Mountain dew I've had. I'm still what do you know?
Speaker 2: He wrote in No matter what show I go on,
Speaker 2: I'm only get out My third one of the day
Speaker 2: started with Rod having our own show the Sports eight
Speaker 2: and now fire ups been great. So you know what,
Speaker 2: I'll stay with the Wings theme tonight and I'm really
Speaker 2: gold pretty well. No Florida stuff tonight? Well, well, actually,
Speaker 2: you know what, if you have anything Florida you want
Speaker 2: to mention Candy, I'll have to.
Speaker 9: Do it, okay, Pensman, I'm going to go little north,
Speaker 9: a little up towards the north and go to New York.
Speaker 5: And we've already talked about this, but I am so
Speaker 5: happy about Cecius Spathia getting the whole fame. He well,
Speaker 5: he deserved it, and each rill got it, and Yankees
Speaker 5: are making a lot of picks. So I think we're
Speaker 5: going to be the ALE champions once again. That's what's
Speaker 5: happening in my town.
Speaker 1: So one of the things, one of the towns that
Speaker 1: I associate with obviously is Milwaukee because I grew up there.
Speaker 1: I lived there for over forty years. One of the
Speaker 1: things that was announced tonight was the first ten NBA
Speaker 1: All Stars were revealed tonight, and one of them was
Speaker 1: Milwaukee by forward Giannis Andy de Campo. He earned a
Speaker 1: spot for his ninth consecutive All Star Game game, while
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Lakers superstar Lebron James scored his NBA record
Speaker 1: twenty first appearance at the event. So the Eastern Conference
Speaker 1: will have Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Giannis, Jason Tatum, and
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns and the Western Conference and if I
Speaker 1: mispronounced the name, I apologize, But Shahi Jo Horace, Alexander,
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Nikolajokic, Lebron James, and Kevin d Rant. Despite
Speaker 1: leading the fan vote for Guards in the East, Charlotte
Speaker 1: Hornet star Lamello Ball narrowly missed out on making his
Speaker 1: second All Star appearance, and then there were others that
Speaker 1: didn't make it as well. But the NBA will announce
Speaker 1: the fourteen other All Star players next week. The All
Speaker 1: Star Game is scheduled for February sixteenth in Golden State.
Speaker 1: The other thing is, and I know I'm gonna I've
Speaker 1: said this last night. I'm gonna yeah, Jay, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. You thought I was twenty five. No, I
Speaker 1: let I am quite older than that. We won't go
Speaker 1: into quite how how old, but that's fine. The other
Speaker 1: thing that's happened in my town is, for those of
Speaker 1: you that didn't see Monday night, Eric Katz and I
Speaker 1: did a tribute show to Bob Buker. So rest in peace,
Speaker 1: Bob Buker. As far as Florida goes, the Panthers are playing.
Speaker 1: The Heat are playing. In fact, tonight, the Heat are
Speaker 1: playing My Milwaukee Bucks to be honest with you, the
Speaker 1: game is still going on. Last I checked. Let me
Speaker 1: see if I can give you. It's in the third.
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is up eighty one to the Heat sixty two.
Speaker 1: The Heat have suspended Jimmy Butler for the second time
Speaker 1: this season, and I think it's even the second time
Speaker 1: this month much less so. That's kind of the things
Speaker 1: that are happening in my town.
Speaker 2: Well, let me add one to it. I didn't know
Speaker 2: if you were going to mention this that you mentioned
Speaker 2: to me before I went live. Miami Hurricanes were hosting
Speaker 2: a Notre Dame Fighting Irish over a hard rock at
Speaker 2: the stadium. I believe on it Sunday, August thirty thirty
Speaker 2: first something like that. I think the NFL starts the
Speaker 2: following week. It'll be pretty good. And God willing helped
Speaker 2: providing for me anyways that Candy and I have been
Speaker 2: able to cover the game. She's never seen the Fighting Iris.
Speaker 2: Love nothing better than Candy had seen the Fighting Iris.
Speaker 2: And Miami Hurricanes should have made the Collge football play.
Speaker 2: If they didn't, obviously they didn't win the important games
Speaker 2: and it mattered. But a load that you don't know
Speaker 2: Miami and Notre Dame have had a pretty good rivalry
Speaker 2: over the years, and it'll be great to see them
Speaker 2: face off and kick off here at hard Rocky. I'm
Speaker 2: look aboard again. I believe it's on a Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I don't know what network it's on, but it's much
Speaker 2: watched TV.
Speaker 1: Anything else anybody else wants to talk about?
Speaker 2: Sure my book?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Yes, we want to promote that. We have not done
Speaker 1: that yet. Let's make sure we do that. The South
Speaker 1: Florida Tribune Publishing Company published a book, Lessons from the Microphone,
Speaker 1: Tuning into the Enduring Wisdom of Visionary Leaders. It is
Speaker 1: written by Scott MotorCity mad Mouth Morgan. Roth talks about
Speaker 1: his forty plus years in the business and how it
Speaker 1: has changed. It's available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kindall, Google,
Speaker 1: Apple and Audio coming later this year. Scott tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit about your experience about writing.
Speaker 2: It right, aligning it in next cards, memories forty five years,
Speaker 2: and making old school media versus new school media. The
Speaker 2: only regret I have is I didn't add a few
Speaker 2: more pictures. But the book coach I had invited me
Speaker 2: that this is a better book with more content the pictures,
Speaker 2: I had no problem. I'll write another one later in
Speaker 2: the year, and those pictures that I didn't get earlier
Speaker 2: will be in the next version. I'll all line it
Speaker 2: sometime this year. It was a fun book to write,
Speaker 2: brought back a lot of great memories and for those
Speaker 2: of you that are getting it that are not familiar
Speaker 2: with the industry, this is a good book that will
