00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:32,439
bums are on vacation all week long, so we are

here with you today, Tomorrow and Thursday. The entire building. Well,

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,880
we got all for good Friday for well, I think

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,719
the first time since I've been here, but we are

12
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:44,039
hanging out with you for the next three days. As

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,799
Jordan's so eloquently put it a few seconds ago, We're

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,640
gonna cover a lot of different topics today. We got

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,920
a Lota Villa Reale, We got Jordan Kitchens back there

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,799
on the ones and twoes.

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,399
Speaker 4: Guys, how we feel in this morning?

18
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:59,719
Speaker 2: You know, it's another day to be alive. It's another

19
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:02,560
day to be alive. So it's gotta gotta take that

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,480
for what it is. That's not a real deep but

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,120
I was very sentimental.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 4: Just flying.

23
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:14,719
Speaker 3: I mean, we're apparently all flooding because of the river.

24
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:16,280
So thanks flood.

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, who knows, we might all perish tomorrow.

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,519
Speaker 5: Okay, I need to go get my actual headphones. I

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,280
don't like this.

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,079
Speaker 6: I read into the So I went to go look

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920
on my weather app the other day or no, it was.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 5: On Google Maps.

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,359
Speaker 2: Yea google Maps.

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,239
Speaker 6: It was Google Maps and it said flood warning. And

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,959
I was like, what this must be a glitch. There's

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,680
no way there's it's not even raining outside.

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,439
Speaker 3: This is like on Saturday, rightday.

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, And then I checked my weather app because I

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,760
was like, it's not even raining. So I checked the

38
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:50,640
weather app and then the weather app is like flood warning,

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,920
and I was like, what is happening? So then I

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,280
googled flood in Louisiana. The river is flooding because of

41
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,680
all the rain and the Ohio River valley, and I'm like,

42
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:01,239
how much.

43
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:04,319
Speaker 5: Rain did they get? How's it all the way down here?

44
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,359
Speaker 2: I didn't even know it rained? How much in Ohio?

45
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,439
Speaker 4: Remember a couple of years ago.

46
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: It's because of snow, Like a couple of years ago,

47
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,039
snow melted and it came down.

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 6: But so then it's supposed to get from what I read,

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,919
it's supposed to get forty nine inches or feet that

50
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840
would not be Yeah, forty nine feet and the levee

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,360
is like fifty eight, so it should be fine.

52
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 4: So we're not flooding.

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,599
Speaker 2: No, we need you need how to make an investment.

54
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:33,960
What's going on here?

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,479
Speaker 5: Flooding?

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so we're we're flooding.

57
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: But the levee is keeping it in, So it's flooding.

58
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:41,719
The levee is just keeping it in.

59
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: Going to be washed away in the parking lot? No, okay,

60
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,800
well then we're going.

61
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:48,159
Speaker 5: The whole purpose of the levee.

62
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: Were got surance? Yeah, guess it's terrible.

63
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: I need to go get my headphones.

64
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,479
Speaker 2: I'll be right back, all right.

65
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: I want to layout today's show. Longer was talking about Saturday.

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,639
You had Google Maps up.

67
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,039
Speaker 4: I did two. Me and Victoria.

68
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: We went out to the LSU Beach Volleyball for the

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,319
first time. It's something I've wanted to do all year long.

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,560
It seemed like a great vibe.

71
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,199
Speaker 2: It was.

72
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: We're actually gonna have Russell Brock, the LSU Beach volleyball coach,

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,800
on the show today at nine thirty. Zach Maggie's gonna

74
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,360
hop on at eight thirty. We're gonna talk some LSU football.

75
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,199
Brian Kelly dip into the spring transfer portal window with positions.

76
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,159
Is he maybe looking at Nick Underhill joining us at

77
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:29,360
his normal nine AM spot. A little bit going on

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,560
with the New Orleans Saints, all the Derek Carr news,

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400
a little pre draft interview with our guy Nick as well,

80
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:38,840
So we'll get into all of that. But as Jordan

81
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,080
kind of laid out before the show started, wanted to

82
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,560
start here with the New Orleans Pelicans. And before anybody

83
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,479
freaks out saying, why in the hell would you start

84
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,879
with the New Orleans Pelicans, well it's it's good news

85
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:50,719
if you hate the people.

86
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:51,599
Speaker 4: Running the organization.

87
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,199
Speaker 3: The New Orleans Pelicans yesterday fired executive vice president of

88
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:57,319
basketball operations David Griffin.

89
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,199
Speaker 4: New Orleans went twenty one and sixty one this year.

90
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: That's the franchise's worst record in an eighty two game

91
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,199
season since the two thousand and four to two thousand

92
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,719
and five.

93
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,319
Speaker 4: Season where they won only eighteen games.

94
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: You want a silver lining, what happened after two thousand

95
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,039
and four two thousand and five, Well, they lighted Chris

96
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,240
Paul and he was actually an okay player. So if

97
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:15,960
you want to look at the silver Lining, but gil

98
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,720
Benson released his statement. She said, after serious thought and evaluation,

99
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:22,439
I have decided to relieve David Griffin of his duties

100
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:25,399
as executive vice president of Basketball Operations. This was a

101
00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:28,279
difficult decision, but one that I feel is necessary at

102
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,439
this time to bring a fresh approach to our front

103
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,560
office and build a culture that will deliver sustainable success

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240
on and off the court. I am committed to hiring

105
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,439
the right person to lead our basketball operations and deliver

106
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:42,120
an NBA championship to our city because this is what

107
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,959
our fan base deserves. She went on to thank David Griffin.

108
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,920
Blah blah blah blah. Griffin was in his sixth season

109
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:51,959
with the organization. This is a Pelicans team that only

110
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,959
made two playoff appearances during that six six year time frame,

111
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,519
and they never made it past the first round of

112
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,360
the playoffs. I think we can we all undoubtedly say

113
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,720
a change was one hundred percent needed. I mean, I

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,079
just laid it out twenty one and sixty one, not

115
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,399
exactly going to get it done. Gail says, I'm committed

116
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:12,519
to bringing in the person who I think it best

117
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,000
help turn this franchise around and bring this city a

118
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:20,160
Championship well, David Griffin. That firing was announced about eleven

119
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:24,160
am yesterday, ten thirty ish. A little bit later in

120
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,000
that afternoon, it was announced that they already have a

121
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,000
front runner for the position, and that front runner is

122
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,319
Louisiana native Joe Dumars. So according to Sham Shinaria, he

123
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:39,920
reports that the Pelicans and Dumars are expected to engage

124
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:42,839
in conversations this week and a deal could be finalized

125
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,319
by the end of the week. It seems like this

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,560
is something that is moving very very fast. Dumars is

127
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,000
actually the vice president of basketball operations for the entire

128
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:56,600
NBA right now. We all know Joe Dumars. He won

129
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:59,000
two championships as a player in eighty nine and ninety.

130
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,600
He won one as an NBA executive in two thousand

131
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:03,879
and four. All of those are with the Detroit Pistons.

132
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:06,639
That was the Chauncey Billups team. Everybody remembers that squad.

133
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,480
He was the lead executive Detroit for fourteen years us

134
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:15,439
beginning in the year two thousand. In that time period,

135
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:18,079
the Detroit Pistons had a winning record. It was fit

136
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,639
five ninety five and five thirty six. You can say Okay,

137
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,720
well that doesn't exactly blow the doors off the place. Yeah,

138
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:24,519
have to look at what the Detroit Pistons are now.

139
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,399
I mean, they've shown a lot of promise this year,

140
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,560
but the last ten or so years they've kind of

141
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,800
been an NBA bottom feeder.

142
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: So that's actually a really good success in the NBA.

143
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: He was named league executive in twenty twenty two after

144
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,360
three years with Sacramento, so he's been out of an

145
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:45,199
NBA front office for three years now. He's not been

146
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,079
there since twenty twenty one. Twenty twenty two is his

147
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,160
first year in this NBA League executive role. Everyone wants

148
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,519
to point out that he is a Louisiana Nate and

149
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,800
I was talking to Jordan about this before the show.

150
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,319
I'm like, that's great if you're trying to sell someone

151
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,600
to your fans. First Off, if you're trying to sell

152
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,199
someone this hard to your fan base, it may not

153
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,959
be the home run higher that you think it is. Secondly,

154
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,879
who cares if he has Louisiana ties. This is not college.

155
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:14,360
You are not recruiting in the state of Louisiana. I

156
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,240
don't care where it's from. Half the guys on your

157
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,839
team are European now, doesn't really matter where you come from.

158
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:23,319
I appreciate the success. I appreciate that he's been League

159
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,519
Executive at the Year multiple times. I appreciate that he

160
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,680
won a championship as VP in Detroit that was in

161
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,639
two thousand and four. And I just mentioned that he

162
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,519
hasn't been in an NBA front office in three years now.

163
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:40,759
Twenty twenty one was his last season running an NBA

164
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,879
front office. Now, he obviously didn't forget how to do that,

165
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,399
but he's just been out of the game for a

166
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:45,839
little bit.

167
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,519
Speaker 4: I get it.

168
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,759
Speaker 3: He's been in the NBA front office. That's different than

169
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,279
managing one specific team. You're kind of just overseeing everything

170
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,040
in the NBA office. When you're the VP of an

171
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,560
NBA basketball team, every single decision in that basketball organization

172
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:02,600
goes through you. There is a lot more on your plate,

173
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,680
a lot more big time decisions have to be made

174
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:09,079
when you were VP of a professional basketball team. So, okay,

175
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:12,160
we got Joe Dumars out of the way. I'm not

176
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:14,319
that excited about it. I'm sure most people are just

177
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,600
kind of like, Eh, it's kind of how I feel

178
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
about it, Like, is that awful? Now again? He's a

179
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,839
guy that's had success. It's behind him, but he's a

180
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:26,160
guy that had success and none the left. What I

181
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:28,759
want to look at is what does this mean for

182
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:32,039
Willy Green? Jordan, you said that there was a rumor

183
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,799
that the Pelicans were going to make Dumars or whoever

184
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,759
becomes VP of basketball operations keep Willy Green?

185
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,879
Speaker 4: Is that right them?

186
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:42,879
Speaker 2: I just.

187
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,759
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know where that rumor started. I have

188
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,759
a hard time believing that's the case. I imagine that

189
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,639
the next guy in charge will want his own coach

190
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,960
and want his own coach immediately. And it's not like

191
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,039
Willy Green has this stellar reputation within the organization and

192
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,720
an excellent record to fall back on. Willie Green is

193
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,200
one forty eight and one point eighty in New Orleans.

194
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,080
He has a losing record. It's probably time for him

195
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,480
to go. Anyways, who should the Pelicans target. I'm gonna

196
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,360
throw a few names at you, Jordan, and you tell

197
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,799
me this is not Jordan Kitchen's host of the Pelicans scoop.

198
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:20,240
This is Jordan Kitchens fan of the New Orleans Pelicans. Okay,

199
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,399
Mike Malon, I mean, of course, Mike Malone.

200
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

201
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 4: Top top five coach in the NBA.

202
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,919
Speaker 3: I mean, find me five coaches in the NBA better

203
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,679
than Mike Malone. I don't think you're going to be

204
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,279
able to do it.

205
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: There isn't And.

206
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: Then people can say, Okay, well Mike Malone was just fired. Guys,

207
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:38,480
if you go look at Mike Malone's career record as

208
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:40,759
an NBA head coach. Sure, he was in Sacramento for

209
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:44,159
two years. They were awful. Everyone's kind of awful in Sacramento.

210
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Not really his fault. You go look at what he

211
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:49,159
did in Detroit and Denver. He got to Denver in

212
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,240
twenty fifteen, they were thirty three and forty nine, then

213
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,039
the following year forty and forty two. So he doesn't

214
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,279
start hot after that. From twenty seventeen until this year,

215
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,799
eight straight seasons, he never had a losing record one time.

216
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,080
And let's not forget in twenty twenty two to twenty

217
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,879
twenty three season he was NBA champion.

218
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: That was just two years ago.

219
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,279
Speaker 3: I thought it was a head scratcher that they fired

220
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,600
Mike Malone, But look, you don't know what goes on

221
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,440
behind the scenes, right, Maybe him.

222
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: And the GM didn't get along, him and the owner,

223
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:19,559
how to spat whatever.

224
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,519
Speaker 3: Maybe the team didn't want to play for him anymore

225
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:24,440
because they were forty seven and thirty two under Mike

226
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,519
Malone this year they were battling for that four seed,

227
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,399
so it wasn't like they were out of the playoff pitch.

228
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,200
Nikola Yoka is playing on an NBA level. If I

229
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,000
had a vote, I would vote Nikola Yoka JIMVP. So

230
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,320
it's not like Mike Malone fell off. He just two

231
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:41,480
years removed from winning an NBA championship. Oh and he's

232
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,639
fifty three years old. I know everyone wants to talk about, Oh, retread, retread, retread.

233
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000
I get that Mike Malone's not your typical retread. Mike

234
00:10:49,039 --> 00:10:51,840
Malone's not a guy that won a championship a decade ago,

235
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,399
has had three to four straight losing seasons and the

236
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:56,759
team moved on. This is a guy that, in my opinion,

237
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,799
is still at the top of his game. If I'm

238
00:10:59,879 --> 00:11:02,600
New Orleans, I hired Joe Dumars or whoever it is,

239
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:04,279
and they want to move on from Willie Green, I'm

240
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,039
picking up the phone and I'm calling Mike Malone as

241
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,120
quick as I possibly can before some other team does it.

242
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:12,039
Because they're going to speaking of another.

243
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:12,519
Speaker 4: Team doing that.

244
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns might be in the Mike Malone market because

245
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,639
they fired Mike Budenholzer yesterday. So Jordan, I'm gonna throw

246
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:23,039
this name at you, Mike Budenholzer. No see, I'm kinda

247
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,519
I'm kind of with you on that. My knee jerk

248
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,279
reaction to that was, I don't want Mike Budenholzer.

249
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:31,399
Speaker 4: He is a retread, you know, he's.

250
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: He's a retread. But I think this team needs a

251
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,519
stern leader, like we need to try it. That's no BS.

252
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,360
Mike Malone is no BS. Bud Buddhenholzer has a history

253
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,080
of just kind of just being a guy, like you

254
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,399
need somebody. That's why. So I'm on the fence about

255
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,399
the Joe Dumars thing. Yeah, yeah, sure, for sure. One,

256
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,480
he's a strong figure that I know for a fact.

257
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,799
He's one of those people that can literally NB a

258
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:54,799
Hall of Famer. I can sit down and tell Zion like,

259
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,960
look my way to highway blah blah blah, boom boom boom.

260
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,360
But at the same time, you know, yeah, he's been

261
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,039
out the game for a while. So that's why I

262
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:04,120
feel like you need a strong figure in this locker.

263
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,000
You need somebody that's going to the organize has been

264
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:10,279
given too much bs Like, we need somebody that's gonna

265
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,000
be in there, like I'm trying to win. Forget the

266
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,159
we cutting, no, no, no, we need to get into

267
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:16,960
electric tax. We need to spend some money, you know,

268
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:19,440
figure out why everybody keeps getting hurt, why everybody leave

269
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:21,600
the team and gets better. Figure that out, and that's

270
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,480
a core problem. So that's why I feel like it

271
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:24,759
needs to start strong figure.

272
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: To your point, I was kind of on the fence

273
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:28,759
when I saw Boodenholzer got fired.

274
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, well, you know that's somebody they can

275
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,399
go after.

276
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: And sure he's a retread, but he's had success and

277
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,240
then not two distant passed. I mean, you know, he

278
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:37,960
had a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks not long ago.

279
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,120
But what does it tell you about his culture that

280
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:42,679
they moved on from him quickly. He's gone just one

281
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:47,039
year in Phoenix. Now the new owner in Phoenix, this

282
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,080
is his third straight season moving on from a coach

283
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,320
after just one year. So I'm not holding that entirely

284
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,720
against Mike Budenholzer. But look, he's won a championship somewhat recently.

285
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,200
He's been a respectable coach in this league for a

286
00:12:57,279 --> 00:12:59,679
number of years. What I want to look at is

287
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,720
what of culture can he create, regardless of how much

288
00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:06,440
success he's had, whether any stop he's been at, teams

289
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,480
have not exactly fault. To keep him around, you need

290
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:13,000
somebody who's going to come in and establish a strong

291
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,440
culture because this team needs a complete makeover. And I'm

292
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,600
not talking about getting rid of all your star players.

293
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,919
I'm talking about instilling a mentality of toughness into this team.

294
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:25,919
We talk all the time about Oh, this guy's missing

295
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:28,120
games for a minor injury, or this guy's missing games,

296
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,799
or this guy doesn't want to play back to backs

297
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,919
they're on a rest. I saw the stat yesterday and

298
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,120
it made me applaud Chris Paul, but it also made

299
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
me sick as a Pelicans fan. Chris Poules in his

300
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,440
twentieth season in the NBA. He played in all eighty

301
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,519
two games in year twenty, and his team was not

302
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,799
in playoff contention at any point in that season.

303
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: He could have hung it up. He could have set

304
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,600
during back to backs.

305
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,799
Speaker 3: He didn't do that because he's on a team that

306
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,120
has a strong culture, he has a strong mentality.

307
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: You don't have any of that with the New Orleans Pelicans.

308
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: So whether it's Budenholes or whether it's Malone, whether it's

309
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,279
it's a young coach. Now, I fully expect the Pelicans

310
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,200
to make a bad hire and be like, we're hiring

311
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:06,799
Mike White from Georgia that nobody's gonna get excited about.

312
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480
Because that's what the New Orleans Pelicans do. But regardless

313
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,720
of who you hire, you can hire a former champ

314
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:14,879
like Mike Malone, a guy that people are on the

315
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:17,679
fence about about Mike Budenholzer, or some young up and

316
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,200
coming coach, whether it's a college coach or an NBA assistant,

317
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:23,039
make sure they can come in and establish a winning

318
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,080
culture in this locker room because that's what you need.

319
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:27,720
You could say, okay, well you need this. Look you

320
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,639
have Zion Williamson. I have said some choice things about

321
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Zion Williamson, but when he's on the court, he can play.

322
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,679
You have a piece to build around. Build around that piece,

323
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:40,320
instill some toughness into this franchise and just get back.

324
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: To being respectable.

325
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: I'm not asking you to win an NBA championship two

326
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:44,919
even three years from now, because I think you're a

327
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,879
lot further away from that. But you can't go twenty

328
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:48,879
one and sixty one. You just can't do that. You

329
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:51,679
have to be a respectable NBA franchise. We'll see what

330
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
the Pelicans do. Do they hire Joe Dumars as Dumars

331
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,320
allowed to bring in his own coach, We'll find out.

332
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,840
There's going to be a lot of mix ups so

333
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,799

Baseball has a midweek game tonight against McNeice, and uh

336
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,200
it's not a normal midweek opponent.

Speaker 7: One stop plumbing shop and has been for damn near

344
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:27,960
fifty years. And when you look at that timeline, it

345
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,679
tells you a few things. First off, the only way

346
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,200
you keep your doors open that long and you continue

347
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,320
to grow over that time period, is that your customers

348
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,200
are consistently satisfied with the customer experience. And this is

349
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,559
everything from the pricing to the service to the quality.

350
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,639
Speaker 3: Of the work.

351
00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: And they wan't what I mean.

352
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 7: Why not write license, bondit your employees flattert pricing twenty

353
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:54,159
four seven emergency service, great warranty once the work is done.

00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,720

Speaker 8: Go to the website to day and see what they

358
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,960
can do for you. Remodels go tankless. With the tankless

359
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,399
water heater, never run out of hot water again, but

Showpier with you filling in for Jacob Hester and t

367
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,120
Bob Abert. The song always makes me think of School

368
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,840
of Rock. I don't know if you have seen School

369
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080
of Rock, but this, uh, this one hundred percent makes

370
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,679
me think of this. I think they played this song

371
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,639
probably four times in that movie.

372
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,559
Speaker 5: Okay, Jordan, have you seen School of Rock?

373
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: No?

374
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:48,879
Speaker 5: Okay, I was about to say, who hasn't seen School

375
00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:49,320
of Rock?

376
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:49,919
Speaker 2: I have not?

377
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: I agree because I've seen it a bunch. I feel

378
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,320
like there's probably a lot of people like Jordan that

379
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:54,960
hadn't seen it.

380
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,279
Speaker 2: It's to America evens like people, how old are you?

381
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:58,080
Twenty four?

382
00:16:58,159 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: See, he's a little bit younger than us.

383
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: Like that movie came out when we were what you yeah,

384
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,680

385
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,759

Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it was popular when it came out, but

388
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,279
like for you, if you didn't see it, like on

00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,039
TV when you channel scroll Disney movie.

00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: I have definitely seen that the Jackie when he like

teaches the kids how to Yeah, who has not seen School?

393
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: I was saying, like someone your age, like if you

394
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,960
didn't see it scrolling TV, like you probably wouldn't have known

395
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,279
about it.

396
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,079
Speaker 4: It's like I get it.

397
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,799
Speaker 5: Because I didn't they show you in school too.

398
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:35,319

400
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: Wind came over and the yeah, roll the projector in

Speaker 4: There's worst places to grow up.

426
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: Jordan's might not be there, might not be the giant,

427
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,279
big city that is New Orleans.

428
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:56,079
Speaker 2: Louisa ain't the clean boots, but they work. They work

429
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,960
though we're not even in New Orleans. Right you're hold,

430
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,559
I'll see you to see this is gonna be. That's

431
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:04,200
what the disconnects. So the West Bank, because people like

432
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,839
to be like, oh, you're from the West Bank, You're

433
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,480
not from New Orleans. Listen, man, if you honestly, it's

434
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:10,680
all the same to me. I'll say this. If you're

435
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,799
on the North Shore, you know Mandeville, Cove and t

436
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440
that was a different city. Yeah, like that's that's could

437
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:19,039
you know. No, but slide out and slide o if

438
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:21,599
you slide I'm sorry, slide o. Y'all are not New Orleans,

439
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:25,039
not if you're in the central area. Kenner Kenner is

440
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:25,680
New Orleans.

441
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,039
Speaker 4: All that all that? Yes, I agree, that's that's that's

442
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:30,880
all New Orleans to me.

443
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:34,559
Speaker 3: Okay, look, LSU baseball play in a midweek game tonight.

444
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,519
We're gonna talk about that. But before we do, let's

445
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:38,400
get this show started.

446
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work. Courtesy of Tiger labor

447
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,160
and staffing where they can help take care of screening, training,

448
00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:47,960
pay roll, and more. Now for starters.

449
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:55,279
Speaker 3: LSU Baseball taking on the McNeese Cowboys tonight at six

450
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,400
thirty at alex Box Stadium. You can say, okay, in

451
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,119
state MIDWEK game, the Tigers should roll in this one.

452
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:05,400
This is not your ordinary midweek game. Landre and I

453
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720
were talking about it right before the show started. This

454
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:10,839
Cowboys team is twenty seven and five. It is the

455
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,960
best start in school history through thirty two games. Landra

456
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:16,799
mentioned they're twenty six in the RPI. They're at large

457
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:19,319
at the turn at an NCAA tournament bid right now.

458
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,160
They hit over three hundred as a team at three

459
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:25,079
zero three, and as a staff they have a sub

460
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,839
for ERA at three ninety two. This won't be a

461
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:31,640
walk in the park midweek game. And you're sitting there saying, okay, well,

462
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,480
maybe they have one to two dominant pitchers. No, they

463
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,400
got two pitchers on their staffs. That's ERA is above five.

464
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,000
Everyone else is like three and below. That's where that

465
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,119
that's where that three ninety two comes from. They are

466
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,920
good top to bottom. We're looking into it a little bit. Yesterday, Hey,

467
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,480
who's gonna start for him in the midweek doesn't really matter.

468
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,279
I think the most any pitcher has gone in the

469
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:53,960
midweek for them this year is three innings. So they're

470
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200
really gonna throw three or four guys at you, depending

471
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,640
on the situation. You have to be ready for it.

472
00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:02,160
So while this might be a tough midweek game, here's

473
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,960
what this does. This gives you an opportunity to bounce

474
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,279
back from an awful weekend against the quality opponent here

475
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:14,119
in your own backyard. Now, a lot of times you

476
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,079
could say, okay, well, MIDWEK games, it's a time to

477
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,839
get your young players involved the laundr. I'm gonna ask

478
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,519
your opinion on this, because in my opinion, I don't

479
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:24,599
want that against mcneesse. What I want to see tonight,

480
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:27,319
I don't want lineup tingreen. I want your best nine

481
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,440
out there, whoever you think is going to start for

482
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,599
you this weekend, and try to get those bats hot again.

483
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: Because you were awful. We talked about it.

484
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,079
Speaker 3: You you dug yourself in multiple big time holes this weekend.

485
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,759
You tried to come back a little at the end

486
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:44,720
of games. It wasn't quite enough. I mean I mentioned

487
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:48,160
it yesterday. I think the first two games of the series,

488
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:51,920
one through six in the lineup were eight for fifty. Oh,

489
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,920
and then they were two for eight on Sunday. So

490
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,319
it didn't go much better for you there either. And

491
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,599
that's just one through six of the bottom three in

492
00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:01,400
your order was not much better. Matter of fact, they

493
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,039
may have even been worse. So I don't know about you,

494
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:06,880
but I'm not going to be like, oh, let me

495
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,119
put this guy in this situation and see how they react.

496
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:09,599
Speaker 4: Let me do this.

497
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: I want my best nine out there, and I want

498
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,359
their bats to get hot because the SEC series is

499
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,279
not going to get easier.

500
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you kind of have to, just because

501
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:19,079
you need to give them the opportunity to shake back

502
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:21,000
from this weekend. Like you got to get them there

503
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:23,759
at bats. You gotta let them. And I think Jay

504
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,880
talked about it last night, you know, take this Tuesday

505
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,359
game to regroup and get back on track, and he

506
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,039
said that they actually practice yesterday. They usually take Monday off,

507
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:38,519
but they did light practice yesterday, So hopefully.

508
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:43,799
Speaker 5: There's not too much different tonight. But I don't know,

509
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:47,039
we'll see.

510
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: Something else I want to see, because again, your top

511
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,279
three hitters on the weekend eight for thirty eight, it's

512
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,559
not going to cut it. That's a two to ten

513
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:55,279
batting average. I mean, think about who's in your top three.

514
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,960
That's Derek Curie, Old Jerry Jones and Daniel Dickinson. Those

515
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,319
are your best hitters right now. Vim and Steven and

516
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:02,839
Mylam wasn't great either top to bottom. That's kind of

517
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,759
how it was. Milam had the home run. I get

518
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,119
all that, but average wise not where you want it

519
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,519
to be. If it is, in fact William Schmidt getting

520
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:14,599
the start tonight, if that's who Jay goes with, I

521
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:17,559
want to see him extended a little bit because, honestly, guys,

522
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:20,160
I kind of think that Sunday spot is up for grabs.

523
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,599
Chase Shores only went two innings. He struggled a lot lately.

524
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,359
And Elandra, I know you mentioned like you don't want

525
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,720
Zach Cowen in that position because he's so good out

526
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,759
of the bullpen. I agree. I don't see why it

527
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,480
can't be William Schmidt. Maybe not now because you're not

528
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,519
gonna throw him in this weekend. It's too soon. You're

529
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:40,000
not gonna throw him in the fire at Tennessee. But

530
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,519
after that, maybe maybe you do a little change up

531
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:46,599
in the lineup, Chase Shores is still gonna have a role.

532
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,960
Maybe you bring him out of the pen for one

533
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,160
to two innings. I just I'm not saying you're going

534
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,839
to make a change. I'm just saying that Sunday spot

535
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,160
might be.

536
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,759
Speaker 4: Up for grabs.

537
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,079
Speaker 6: I think Sunday you do need a little more length.

538
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,240
But Jay mentioned last night that Shores was always gonna

539
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,960
have like a shorter leash on Sunday because they had

540
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,920
already dropped Game one and two, so like any little

541
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,319
thing that was gonna go wrong and they were gonna

542
00:24:09,319 --> 00:24:13,640
pull him anyway. So it might be up for grabs.

543
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,759
But I'm trying to think like later on down the road,

544
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,200
when you're in Omaha and you have to use pictures

545
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:22,440
to start that you haven't yet, Like if you keep

546
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,279
your regular rotation right, you keep kid i andsen sure

547
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,480
and Shores in the postseason, you're still gonna need somebody

548
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:31,640
to step up.

549
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 3: Because we were talking about it, like in Omaha, you're

550
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000
gonna play Tuesday, You're gonna play Wednesday. Like people forget

551
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Paul Skens did not pitch in the Championship Series, right,

552
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:40,720
because you need like an achin Alison had to step

553
00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:41,759
up in the game, and he was fine.

554
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 4: I mean you lost the game, but you had to

555
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:44,039
have somebody step up.

556
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's kind of my point with that is

557
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,960
like maybe the Sunday spot, maybe it is up for grabs,

558
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,839
but even if it isn't you need somebody else as

559
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480
a starter for when you get deeper into the season

560
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:55,799
like that.

561
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:58,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, So whoever it is, Look if it's if it's

562
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:00,440
William schmid I it's kind of where I mean, those

563
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,000
have kind of been the two guys that are starting

564
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,680
in midwek. I want to see them go three innings

565
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,640
and if they make it through three innings, can they

566
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,680
go four? And I know what you're thinking, Okay, well

567
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,759
that might hinder him pitching this weekend thanks to pitch

568
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:11,839
on Sunday. Thanks the pitchel Saturday. I mean, they give

569
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,160
them four to five days rest, they'll be fine there.

570
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,720
But look, you look at this lineup and just the

571
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,680
nine guys in this McNeese lineup that have hit the

572
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,480
most this year four thirteen, three forty four, three thirty three,

573
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,599
three thirty, three hundred, two seventy six, two fifty five.

574
00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:30,359
You have three guys hitting two fifty. Everybody at that

575
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:32,839
is around three hundred and a bull This is this

576
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,440
is not a slotch We talked about how good the

577
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680
pitching staff was. They're three to ninety two is a staff.

578
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,039
This team hits three to three as a team. They

579
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:42,200
hit from both sides of the play. They get on

580
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,279
base top to bottom. This is not gonna be an

581
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:46,680
easy out. But I think it maybe couldn't come at

582
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,920
a better time because of how bad you looked on

583
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,839
the weekend. You have a chance to bounce back in

584
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,480
the midwek but against a good opponent. Because if you

585
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,799
come out, you play some team that's just awful and

586
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:58,720
you win thirteen to nothing in seven innings, like great,

587
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,319
you didn't really learn a lot about your team. You

588
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,599
didn't really see how they can bounce back against a

589
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:05,960
good team. A Laundra put in the document like they're

590
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,960
an at large Turney team right now. This is a

591
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,759
type of caliber team you could see in the NCAA

592
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:13,079
tournament if you get the host of Regional super Regional

593
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,119
and you still have a chance to bounce back and

594
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,680
get hot and get this thing going back again because

595
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,279
you do have another SEC series coming up this weekend.

596
00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:22,319
I want to take a quick time out when we

597
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,759
get back on LSU. Legend called it quits in the

598
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:27,200
NFL yesterday. We're breaking it down. I want to kind

599
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,400
of look back at his time in the LSU as

600
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,880
well as the NFL. That's all coming up here on

601
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,759

Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff

629
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,920
mixed in off the bench with Hester and t.

630
00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 8: Bomb, the Katiz Blinds dot Com, k t o z

631
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,480
Blinds dot Com and I just I can't tell you enough.

632
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:49,839
And actually, like during the last couple of weeks, our

633
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,440
shade is just consistently stayed down that we have and

634
00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:56,880
the back of our home and that's where the sun

635
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,880
kind of before we got it just really ruin TV

636
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:02,839
viewing during the day you're trying to watch like a

637
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:05,599
big NFL game or a big baseball game else she's

638
00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:07,799
got an early one today and you couldn't get it done.

639
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:10,720
Just wasn't the same, right, you got this huge galare

640
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:12,680
on the TV. Well, I didn't think putting something on

641
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,359
the exterior of our home would changed the interer of

642
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,119
our home, but it has certainly done that. Now it's

643
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,839
done its original job. Like Harlowe loves going out to

644
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:23,160
our little patio, we dropped the shade down there. She

645
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:26,279
plays out there, absolutely loves it. It's not as hot,

646
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,359
it's not bright, but it has changed the dynamic of

647
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,279
our entire home.

648
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,279
Speaker 4: The house is cooler.

649
00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Whenever we have the shade down. They'll do it for

650
00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:34,839
you as well.

651
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 9: Ktoo Z blinds dot com.

652
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,799
Speaker 3: God, I don't want to cut the song off. I

653
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:51,480
just want to let it play. This might be my

654
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,839
favorite Journey song. Everybody's gonna be like, oh well, it's

655
00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:57,799

656
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: Something like that. I'm like, I like this is good.

657
00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,079
This might be my favorite Journey song. I like Stone

00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: Okay are you just saying yes because it's in the

664
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
title of you actually seen?

665
00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:18,119
Speaker 2: No? Okay?

666
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: Well, remember at the end of it, Jim Carrey's leaving

667
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:23,240
the hospital to go talk to like, to go get

668
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,519
the girl back or whatever. He's on the motorcycle and

669
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:28,000
his hospital gallon opens you can see his butt or whatever,

670
00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:30,640
and this song is like blaring while he's riding the motorcycle.

671
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,519
Speaker 4: That is what I think of every time I hear

672
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:32,839
this song.

673
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 6: I think of, not this song, but the Sopranos had

674
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,000
that one episode where they kept playing Wheel in the Sky.

675
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,319
Speaker 4: Journey had so many bangers.

676
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, they really did.

677
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:48,319
Speaker 3: All right, it teases going into break a little bit earlier,

678
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,279
and I'll shoe legend has caught it quits in his

679
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,160
NFL football career. One Patrick Peterson he decided yesterday that

680
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,680
he was going to retire as an Arizona Cardinal. Look,

681
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,880
I started thinking back it him being one of my

682
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,599
all time favorite Tigers. He made so many big plays.

683
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:12,359
What he did in that twenty ten season playing corner,

684
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:17,000
returning kickoffs, returning punts, it was magical. I mean, he

685
00:30:17,119 --> 00:30:19,079
was one of the first guys to really be that

686
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,759
game breaker. Wearing that number seven jersey. I mean it

687
00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:23,599
was like Ali high Smith him back to back. Then

688
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,839
he turns it over to Tyron Matthew. We know what

689
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,160
that numbers become. We always talk about hester b in

690
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,599
the original number eighteen. I get that. Ali high Smith

691
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,720
may have started it. To me, it's Patrick Peters. I mean,

692
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,400
he's the when you talk about who you think of

693
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:40,000
when you hear the number seven at LSU.

694
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,839
Speaker 4: For me, it's Patrick Peters. It always will be in

695
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,559
twenty ten.

696
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: But just for reference of I mentioned how great that

697
00:30:47,839 --> 00:30:50,680
season was, let me just show you how great. Twenty

698
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,359
ten forty two tackles at the cornerback position, two tackles

699
00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:58,440
for a loss, four interceptions. He returned those four interceptions

700
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,039
for one hundred and thirty four yards. That is a

701
00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:04,759
thirty five and a half yard interception return. Like per catch,

702
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:07,400
he returned it in an average of thirty three yards.

703
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,200
Did not have an interception return for a touchdown, but

704
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,119
he made up for it on punt and kickoff returns.

705
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:14,799
Speaker 4: On punt returns.

706
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:17,759
Speaker 3: Twenty six returns four hundred and eighteen yards and two

707
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,960
touchdown returns. On kickoffs, he was even better. He didn't

708
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,039
have a touchdown, but he averaged twenty nine yards per return.

709
00:31:24,519 --> 00:31:28,279
Thirty two returns nine hundred and thirty two yards. He

710
00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:32,759
had thirteen hundred yards and just returns. Is his last

711
00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:34,480
year at LSU, and that's not counting what he did

712
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:38,279
on defense. I mentioned he he had all the interceptions,

713
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,279
he had four of him his last year here at LSU,

714
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:42,720
and he also locked down the opponent's top wide receiver

715
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,920
week in and week out. Started thinking back on it,

716
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,039
like what play comes to mind during his LSU career

717
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:53,160
when you think of Patrick Peters.

718
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,079
Speaker 4: For me, it's easy.

719
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,279
Speaker 3: Twenty ten opening game of the year, he played North

720
00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:00,519
Carolina and in the Chick fil A kickoff, and you know,

721
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:03,720
going into that game, North Carolina had.

722
00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:05,359
Speaker 4: A couple guys suspended, but then they had.

723
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,839
Speaker 3: Like this virus outbreak on their team and they were

724
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,759
down to like their third string running back, their second

725
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,480
string wide receiver. Like everybody thought LSU was gonna come

726
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:19,079
in and smash, But every time something like that happens,

727
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:21,359
it seems like the guys that are the second and

728
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,519
third team step up and play up to their level

729
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:27,279
of competition. And that's exactly what North Carolina did. This

730
00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:29,759
game was tight for a long time. This was TJ. Yates,

731
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:31,960
He was the quarterback of this team, and in that

732
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,720
game they kicked it off to Patrick Peterson, and I

733
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,880
mean he just he did what Patrick Peterson does. He

734
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,200
made a game changing play. Did really swung the minimum

735
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,759
and you could see right here Jordans played it. It's

736
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:45,720
sixteen to ten at this point in the second quarter.

737
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,400
And then I mean, Patrick Peterson showing his athleticism and

738
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,880
nobody was catching it as soon as he got to

739
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,000
the sidelines. He did this so many times. He had

740
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:55,599
an interception in that game as well. Like that game alone,

741
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,920
that was the opening game of the twenty ten season

742
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,519
for LSU.

743
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,759
Speaker 4: That was the game right there.

744
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: That body, It's like, okay, Like we saw Patrick Peterson

745
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:03,920
in two thousand and nine, we were wondering how he

746
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:04,920
was going to replicate it.

747
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 4: This guy's the real deal.

748
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: And you know, in my opinion, when you talk about

749
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,960
corners at LSU, that guy's always going to be in

750
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,240
my top five. Jordan, Is there a play for you,

751
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,359
Alandre as well? Like either one of you, Like he

752
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,920
can be LSU, it could be the NFL? Like is

753
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:21,680
there doesn't have to be I mean, because there was

754
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,240
so many, But is there any play that comes to

755
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:25,720
mind for you when when we talk about Patrick Peterson?

756
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: Almost definitely college wise, was that intercept I was just

757
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,920
watching the highlights. Definitely was the intercept against ULM. Would

758
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,559
have the purple Jerseys. He kind of moster. I guess

759
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:36,920
you can call him a receiver. You want to call

760
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,880
that guy a receiver the way Patrick Peterson was looking

761
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,359
master receiver tasts it to the house and you got Pat.

762
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,440
You have a number fourteen tire Matthew running alongside of

763
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,480
them blocking guys. It's just it's kind of poetic a

764
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,440
little bit about this how they ended up being teammates

765
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,839
later on and Arizon him basically like helping change in

766
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,799
his life around. So it's good to see that.

767
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,319
Speaker 6: Oh oh yeah. There's also because he was like great

768
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:03,599
punt returner. There's also sixty yard one versus West Virginia.

769
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,759
I put it in the dock if you want to

770
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,079
pull it up, hits and then he hits the heisman

771
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:08,599
pose at the end, like.

772
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,679
Speaker 3: I was at that game, and like you see a

773
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:13,320
lot of people hit the heisman poses now, like really

774
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:18,239
like you saw Desmond Howard. But outside of that, guys

775
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,960
kind of shied away from it. A lot of guys

776
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,159
didn't hit the heisman post unless Miles fussed at him

777
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:23,679
a little bit on the sidelines. Like if you if

778
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,320
you go back and watch the full game, he uh,

779
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,920
he got you got fussed out a little bit for that,

780
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,800
but it was all worth it because that's how good

781
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,519
he was. I mean, every year, it seems like it

782
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:36,880
seems like every year there's a defensive player that you're like, oh,

783
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,960
this guy's getting Heisman consideration. Twenty ten it was Patrick Peters.

784
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:42,679
I mean that that's who it was. And Jordan, you

785
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,480
were talking about the Ulm game. Not even a play.

786
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,760
I'm talking about a performance, and if you go back

787
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,239
and look at the box score, you can be like, oh, well,

788
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,519
Taylor aj Green had a pretty good day. But LSU

789
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:56,599
was playing at Georgia and I believe two thousand and

790
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,480
nine this was Charles Scott the year he had all

791
00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:02,400
those touch doubt and Charles Scott ultimately busted a long

792
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,159
run and helped you win that game. But Patrick Peterson

793
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:08,920
as a true sophomore, this was his first year as

794
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,800
the full time starter, because if you remember, as a freshman,

795
00:35:11,039 --> 00:35:12,639
Patrick Peterson played a lot, but it was kind of

796
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:14,599
a corner rotation because he had Chris Hawkins and he

797
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:17,679
had Jow Eugene both as returners. Patrick Peterson kind of

798
00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:19,119
worked his way in there, kind of took over for

799
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,599
Joy Eugene as the season went along. But two thousand

800
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:26,719
and nine in Athens, about halfway through the year, he

801
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,840
had to go up against AJ Green. Everybody knows AJ Green.

802
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,400
You know how great he was in college. You know,

803
00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:34,639
dominant he was in the NFL. Patrick Peterson for the

804
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:37,760
majority of that game bullied AJ Green. I mean, he

805
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,039
big boyed him as a sophomore in college. And sure

806
00:35:41,159 --> 00:35:43,239
AJ Green had a touchdown in that game because he

807
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,159
got his AJ Green's too good of a player to

808
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:47,960
shut down the entire game. But that entire performance that

809
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,760
he had against AJ Green, even on the plays that

810
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,039
he got beat, he was right there in position to

811
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,400
make these plays as such a young player. I mean

812
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,239
I remember sitting there watching that game, being like this

813
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,199
guy here, like he's he's a little bit different than

814
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:02,480
everybody else. On missed and then that ultimately led in

815
00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:05,559
to the incredible twenty ten season. But you know, when

816
00:36:05,599 --> 00:36:07,800
I go look at his NFL career, because that's all

817
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,519
everybody was talking about yesterday, is Patrick Peterson a Hall

818
00:36:11,559 --> 00:36:12,000
of Famer?

819
00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:13,599
Speaker 4: You look at his career.

820
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 3: He got to Arizona in twenty eleven, Patrick Peterson made

821
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,519
eight straight Pro Bowls and sprinkled in there in those

822
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:23,679
eight straight Pro Bowls, was three first team All pros.

823
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,159
To me, you're in the NFL, There's no question about it.

824
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:30,519
Thirty six interceptions throughout his entire career, two of them

825
00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:34,800
returned for touchdowns. Four sacks in his career, six hundred

826
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,719
and fifty two total tackles, five hundred and seventy one solo.

827
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:41,000
I mean everything. You get fifteen tackles for a loss.

828
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:43,199
Everything you want to see from this guy. And he

829
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,440
played sixteen games through the first eight games eight years

830
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,360
of his career, all of those Pro Bowl seasons, all

831
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,679
sixteen games, and.

832
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,039
Speaker 4: He played ten, then sixteen.

833
00:36:53,079 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 3: He never played less than double digit games all the

834
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,760
way up to twenty twenty three when he was in Pittsburgh,

835
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,519
he played He played in all seventeen game. You're with

836
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:04,280
sixteen starts and you can say, okay, well, you know

837
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,280
you're eventually gonna fall off. Now, Really, you look at

838
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,000
what he did at his age thirty three season in

839
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,880
twenty twenty three, because he didn't play in twenty four

840
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,440
forty two total tackles, two interceptions.

841
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 4: I mean, Patrick Peterson.

842
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,519
Speaker 3: Not only was he dominant from the time he stepped

843
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:20,400
foot in the NFL, he made first team All Pro

844
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,360
as a rookie. By the way, he was good until

845
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,000
the very end. There was never any drop off. And

846
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:27,800
I mean, this is a guy that's playing dB in

847
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,320
the NFL at thirty three years old, and there was

848
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,400
no drop off. They asked them to play safety a

849
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,119
little bit in Pittsburgh. He did it a little bit

850
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:36,599
in Minnesota. Whether it was safety, whether it was corner,

851
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:39,079
he was great wherever you put it. He was just

852
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:42,519
one of those natural football players. And you know, everyone

853
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:44,920
was having the discussion of is Patrick Peterson a Hall

854
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,400
of Famer? If I had a vote, absolutely now, first ballot. No,

855
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,440
I don't think he makes it first ballot, but he

856
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,280
has the resume. Eight Pro Bowls, three First Team All Pros.

857
00:37:56,519 --> 00:37:58,400
I just brought up the numbers. He never had a

858
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,639
drop off in production. He was great from his time

859
00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:05,119
in Arizona to Minnesota all the way to Pittsburgh, safety

860
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:07,800
and corner. His careers are very similar to a Charles Woodson.

861
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,519
Now he doesn't have the Super Bowl that a Charles

862
00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:12,000
Woodson had, but Charles Woodson's a guy that came in

863
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:14,599
with a lot of hype out of Michigan. Woodson actually

864
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:17,159
won the Heisman Trophy. He has to move to safety

865
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:18,679
a little bit later in his career, and he was

866
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,920
still very productive all the way up until the day

867
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,960
he retired. And that's that's the category I view Patrick Peterson.

868
00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:27,199
I mean, I think he's that good of a player.

869
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,360
So it's Patrick Peterson a Hall of Famer. I would

870
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,039
love for that to be the case. He makes a

871
00:38:32,039 --> 00:38:34,960
compelling argument for sure in my vote. Yets all right, Look,

872
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,440
we're going to take a quick time out when we

873
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,039
get back. I mean, Samara got drafted in the WNBA

874
00:38:41,159 --> 00:38:43,480
draft last night. We're talking about it and uh kind

875
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,199
of looking back on her college career. That's coming up

897
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:54,480
mixed in Off the Bench with Hester and T Bomb.

898
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 3: Come back in final segment, hour number one, Tuesday edition

899
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,519
of Off the Bench, Tyler Sharp here with you in

900
00:40:05,639 --> 00:40:08,239
place of Jacob Pester and t Bob a Bears.

901
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 4: They are both on a little.

902
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:13,679
Speaker 3: VK mentioned it a little bit there before we took

903
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,280
that time out. Former LSU forward a Nissa Morrow drafted

904
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,719
pretty early last night in the WNBA draft. She went

905
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,039
seven overall to the Connecticut Sun. I went back last

906
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:28,719
night and I was looking at just the raw numbers

907
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,639
for a Nissa Morrow and forgot just how dominant she

908
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,559
was and for her career her two years at DePaul,

909
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:39,559
two years at LSU, her career average twenty and a

910
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:42,320
half points per game, twelve and a half rebound per game.

911
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: That's dominant.

912
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 3: You look at what she did at LSU her first

913
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,000
year here, sixteen point four points, right at ten rebounds

914
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:53,920
a game. This year eighteen point seven points, thirteen and

915
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,079
a half rebounds per game.

916
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 4: And she she's someone that stands about six one.

917
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot bigger players out there in

918
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:06,199
women's college basketball than Anissa morri But she fought hard.

919
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,440
She was a menace down low. I mean, she was

920
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,639
just one of those players that had a knack for

921
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,400
getting rebound. I mean, her hands were almost magnets when

922
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,239
it came to that basketball. It seemed like anytime you're

923
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,199
listening to another radio or watching on TV, there's a

924
00:41:19,199 --> 00:41:21,960
mishot by either team, Number twenty four is right there

925
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,079
to grab that rebound. Like Anissa Moro is just one

926
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:27,360
of those players that really kind of got underrated. I

927
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,840
mean she's again, she gets down low. She's not one

928
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,679
of those incredibly flashy players, but look, she was a

929
00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:40,440
All American this year by four different polls. So obviously

930
00:41:40,519 --> 00:41:43,639
people in college basketball circles thought very highly of Anissa Morrow.

931
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,440
She was a All American her first two years at DePaul,

932
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,000
so in four years in college basketball, she was a

933
00:41:50,039 --> 00:41:51,079
three time All Americ.

934
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 4: That'll get it done.

935
00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: So congratulations to Ansa Mark, Congratulations to the Connecticut Sun

936
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,440
because you got yourself a heck of a player. Okay,

937
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,480
we got about three minutes before we hit break landra

938
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:03,440
I gotta ask you, would you.

939
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 4: Go to space with Katie Perry?

940
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 5: No?

941
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,079
Speaker 4: No, what about Jeff Bezos wife?

942
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 5: Okay, No, I would not go to space period.

943
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 6: I'm definitely not going to space with all the people

944
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,239
that wait yesterday. Also, I thought they were going to

945
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,880
be up there for like longer than ten minutes, And

946
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,920
I thought they were going to like space space like

947
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,079
I thought they probably.

948
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,039
Speaker 4: Just went to like stratus fever.

949
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 5: I thought they were going to be in space.

950
00:42:29,599 --> 00:42:33,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I thought you thought like no gravity space suit,

951
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:34,039
like floating around.

952
00:42:34,199 --> 00:42:37,039
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't think they were gonna like leave the

953
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:39,800
chip that that they were on or whatever you call it.

954
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:43,599
But I definitely thought that they were going to be

955
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,719
in space and they were going to be there longer

956
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:47,440
than ten minutes.

957
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 3: No, I mean I was disappointed too, But what does

958
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,639
anything Jeff Bezos do other than disappoint me. I would

959
00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:56,320
not get on there with Jeff Bezos's wife because well

960
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,719
I hate Jeff Bezos. Yeah, me and him have to

961
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,320
be Jordan, you know what I'm understand, Jordan. Okay, it

962
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,880
has been like three or four times in a row.

963
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,079
They've just completely lost my package in Amazon. Who else

964
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,440
does that happen to? Only three times in a row.

965
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,480
Three times I ordered something they lost it. They gave

966
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,760
me my money back. I gave the money to my wife,

967
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,960
had her order. It came in in two days. Damn

968
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,039
same address, like came in two days.

969
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,599
Speaker 2: They saw that it didn't say Taylor Shopping. Is like

970
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:23,199
all we canna let this.

971
00:43:23,159 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 4: Slide literally literally same last name, just not me.

972
00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: So it's as somebody used to work in the post office.

973
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,440
Do you have beef with anybody in your local postal?

974
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: Not their fault because if I'm getting like like okay,

975
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,119
like if I get a okay the varsity sports now

976
00:43:37,159 --> 00:43:39,559
the games I call. Got my check in the mail yesterday,

977
00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:41,639
no problem. Yes, they still send out checks. We don't

978
00:43:41,679 --> 00:43:44,360
have to track deposit. But got my checking the mail

979
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,880
for that like anything city of walk or I get,

980
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,119
you know, all the local checks and bills and everything

981
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,159
still comes. This is Amazon packed literally just Amazon. So

982
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,000
this is Jeff Bezos's fault one hundred percent. But so

983
00:43:56,039 --> 00:44:00,719
her as space goes what they did. Sure, I'll do

984
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:06,440
that going actually in space. I don't know, man, I don't.

985
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 6: And this has been like okay, actually, I don't know

986
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,679
if we have time for this, but this has been

987
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,559
like weighing on my mind all weekend.

988
00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:16,199
Speaker 5: Right, you know how I understand gravity.

989
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: I get it off.

990
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 6: Follow me here, please, you know how obviously the world

991
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:24,800
or the Earth is round, right, No, so like are

992
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:31,760
people on the other side of us, like standing upside down?

993
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,159
Speaker 4: No?

994
00:44:33,159 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 6: No, no, I don't mean so like we're on this

995
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,559
