Speaker 1: Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I mean
Speaker 1: I may not know you, but you know, if you're
Speaker 1: a mom, happy Mother's Day. I'm sure you've got at
Speaker 1: least I hope you've got folks in your life that
Speaker 1: will let you know you're appreciated. Mom's, Grandma's. And this
Speaker 1: is something I probably shouldn't throw out there and like
Speaker 1: make it a talking point because sometimes when I just
Speaker 1: when I don't know about something, I kind of just
Speaker 1: throw it out there on the airwaves here and hopes
Speaker 1: of people, like, you know, it's probably an insecurity. It's
Speaker 1: a crutch that I have, Like hey, I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm stupid, but let me throw it out there and
Speaker 1: get reaction to see if like I'm if I'm in
Speaker 1: the minority or not. But it is, it's really really
Speaker 1: like I I feel like most people know that you
Speaker 1: should celebrate the mother of your children on Mother's Day,
Speaker 1: like you do your mom. But maybe I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that because like my kids are so young that like
Speaker 1: they won't be able to like clearly that my son
Speaker 1: doesn't have a bank account, he can't go buy his
Speaker 1: mother gift that kind of stuff. So like whenever they're older, like, well,
Speaker 1: it's still be a thing. I kind of think it
Speaker 1: will because you know, she's not my mama, but she's
Speaker 1: a mama, and you know, moms are really important. I'm
Speaker 1: very lucky and blessed beyond belief to have the mom
Speaker 1: that I have, but also like very happy, you know,
Speaker 1: this is Mother's Day. Also makes me be thankful that, like,
Speaker 1: I have a woman in my life who is the
Speaker 1: mom and my kids and you know, she's pretty damn
Speaker 1: good at it from what I can tell, at least
Speaker 1: you know, up to this point. So anyways, Happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: Grandma's mom's, stepmom's mother in law's baby mama's too. I've
Speaker 1: never referred to my wife as baby mama. I feel like,
Speaker 1: what if I did this weekend on Mother's Day, she
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't like that, But I mean, technically she is.
Speaker 1: She's my baby's mother, although my children aren't babies anymore,
Speaker 1: which is kind of sad. But anyways, let's get to
Speaker 1: hour to or two started. We got two hours left
Speaker 1: here before we get out of here for the weekend.
Speaker 1: And if you are just not joining us, the news
Speaker 1: that I started with that I think is really been
Speaker 1: a theme this week is getting more info about what
Speaker 1: Louisville's basketball schedule is going to look like, and mother
Speaker 1: in the last I guess twenty six hours. I guess
Speaker 1: maybe twenty five hours because it was at five o'clock
Speaker 1: yesterday when UL put out the press release announcing that
Speaker 1: they have renewed their rivalry series with Memphis for six years,
Speaker 1: and then earlier today it was reported by John Rosstein
Speaker 1: first and then Eric Crawford had something at DRB about it.
Speaker 1: And it's not official, but it will be soon, I
Speaker 1: would imagine. But now Louisville's going to play Cincinnati in
Speaker 1: a two year series starting this year. First game will
Speaker 1: be in December this year in Cincinnati, and then next
Speaker 1: year Cincinnati will come to Louisville, but not to play
Speaker 1: in the UMP Center, but to play in Freedom Hall.
Speaker 1: So the game this year is going to be at
Speaker 1: Heritage Bank Center in downtown Cincinnati, which is not Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: typical home arena. I don't think I could be wrong
Speaker 1: about that, but I certainly know that Freedom Hall is
Speaker 1: not where Louisville plays basketball games anymore. So I mean,
Speaker 1: if they played this at the UM Center, I'd be
Speaker 1: totally fine with it. I mean I would have expected that,
Speaker 1: but now that that it's at Freedom Hall, I'm also
Speaker 1: totally fine with it. And I don't want to act
Speaker 1: as if like there's been some like big uproar, but
Speaker 1: at least some you know, Louis of fans that I
Speaker 1: know that I talk to you, that I'm friends with,
Speaker 1: you know, they were of the opinion that, you know,
Speaker 1: this kind of seems like a force like Freedom Hall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there may be some nostalgia, but like it's a dump
Speaker 1: compared to the Ump Center. We closed out the Yumps,
Speaker 1: or we closed out Freedom Hall in perfect fashion. We
Speaker 1: don't need to go back there, and like that's not
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's entitled in their opinion. I just don't
Speaker 1: really see any harm in playing there. And if you
Speaker 1: believe that, you know, whatever happens when Cincinnati comes to
Speaker 1: Freedom Hall next season, not the upcoming season, but the
Speaker 1: season after in twenty twenty six, like if you think
Speaker 1: whatever happens might ruin your lasting impression of Freedom Hall,
Speaker 1: like I would, I would like to think that you're
Speaker 1: you're gonna be wrong. I mean, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know that for certain, but when Kyle Kuric shut down
Speaker 1: Freedom Hall, I was sixteen, fifteen years ago, whatever it
Speaker 1: was like that wasn't It's been a long time, And
Speaker 1: watching the TBT team play at Freedom Hall that certainly
Speaker 1: provided some nostalgia, but like it didn't, you know, it
Speaker 1: didn't make me think about the way we actually closed
Speaker 1: that place now, which you know, the more time that passes,
Speaker 1: the more that seems like something you see in a movie. Right, Like,
Speaker 1: Louisville was not safely in the tournament. They were not
Speaker 1: having a very good season to the standard Patino had
Speaker 1: set for many years prior to that, and they got Syracuse,
Speaker 1: who by the way, like, do people remember that Syracuse?
Speaker 1: Weren't they the number one team in the country when
Speaker 1: they came to close out Freedom Hall? I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to look that up because they were up there. Yes
Speaker 1: they were, I mean they were. They were because Louisville
Speaker 1: swept him that year and that was the year they
Speaker 1: were really really good.
Speaker 2: That's what got us into the tournament that year.
Speaker 1: Yes, but I just said, yeah, they Okay, the I mean,
Speaker 1: you weren't safely in the tournament. You're playing your last
Speaker 1: game there, and you weren't having a good season, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, compared to what Rick had set the standard
Speaker 1: for and it was a pretty competitive game throughout, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Louisville took over because of
Speaker 1: one man. And that man's name was Kyle Kurrick, and
Speaker 1: at that point he was pretty unknown, and he wasn't
Speaker 1: even on scholarship. I don't think, so, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any like Louisville could play two games
Speaker 1: at Freedom Hall and lose and it wouldn't change how
Speaker 1: I view how we shut that place down, because we've
Speaker 1: been gone for a long time, and that was such
Speaker 1: an epic sendoff, and I mean it was like it
Speaker 1: was cinematic how that worked out. And I remember he
Speaker 1: was known for this because he just had a lot
Speaker 1: of energy and I love this guy. Man that era was,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what they were really good.
Speaker 1: That was part of it. But when I really kind
Speaker 1: of like i'd stopped playing basketball because I realize, you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to play college basketball if it meant
Speaker 1: being the eighteenth guy on the roster at like the
Speaker 1: Division three level. So once I decided I was going
Speaker 1: to not do that, and you know, didn't really know
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, I fell in love with
Speaker 1: Louell hoops all over again in a crazy way to
Speaker 1: where I just decided, Okay, I want to write about
Speaker 1: this team. I want to cover him like I you
Speaker 1: know here I am today. But that era around that time,
Speaker 1: like two thousand and seven to really on. But Jerry Smith.
Speaker 1: I remember when I think of the final game of
Speaker 1: Freedom Hall, I think of Jerry Smith, and I think
Speaker 1: he might have got hurt, but I remember him waving
Speaker 1: the towel like crazy, because that's what Jerry did. Jerry
Speaker 1: was going to whip that towel around and it was
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He was bringing the energy and
Speaker 1: again it's all kind of coming together. I think he
Speaker 1: might have I think Kyle might have played because Jerry
Speaker 1: was hurt. A lot of mixed in that game. But
Speaker 1: that was not a good year by any means. In
Speaker 1: the next game we saw them, I think they got
Speaker 1: bounced early in the Big East Tournament, and then they
Speaker 1: also got bounced by Cal. Whish We talked about that
Speaker 1: game whenever Cal came to town, because that's the only
Speaker 1: memory I have of Cal basketball.
Speaker 2: Remember whose game it was, rakeeen Buckles.
Speaker 1: I was so proud that you knew that when I
Speaker 1: didn't have to tell you that. When we talked about it,
Speaker 1: I remember it's one of the moments where I was like,
Speaker 1: this guy, he does he's one of me. He's he's
Speaker 1: he's he's like me, I get it because we else,
Speaker 1: Well remember that random thing, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there, go a man if
Speaker 3: if the rest of the team can match Rackeem's energy,
Speaker 3: then when we have a shot. Even though like any
Speaker 3: normal fan that wasn't Pie in the sky like I was,
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, this game's over, kind of like the
Speaker 3: year before when we got eliminated by Michigan State.
Speaker 4: YEP.
Speaker 3: It seems like a lot of it seems like a
Speaker 3: lot of fans I've talked to was like, yeah, that
Speaker 3: just wasn't Louisville's game. And there's a I guess a
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff going on with Terrence Williams behind the scene.
Speaker 3: But I'm just sitting there, like halftime, I think Preston
Speaker 3: Knowles was having a game of his life, like that
Speaker 3: was a huge comeout game for Preston Noles.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there thinking art makes.
Speaker 1: Sense because it was probably him doing enough. But nobody
Speaker 1: like what you're thinking. Where's everybody else et?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well everybody could get going and they could just
Speaker 3: match p Ka's energy right here, we'll have shot and
Speaker 3: it just it never never never maticulated, matriculated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the the Freedom Hall. I mean, like
Speaker 1: I'm not someone that it's been like, hey, we got
Speaker 1: to play a game at Freedom Hall because you know,
Speaker 1: like we need it for nostalgia. But here's what I
Speaker 1: believe is probably gonna be the scenario here is that
Speaker 1: this will not be a because the biggest issue to
Speaker 1: where like why don't we play one game of your
Speaker 1: Freedom Hall? It's because season ticket holders, like how would
Speaker 1: you like, you know, there's not as many seats at
Speaker 1: Freedom Hall and you wouldn't be able to get everybody
Speaker 1: in the same seat. So where what's happened now is
Speaker 1: that they've this this is how you would have to
Speaker 1: do it. This is this is considered a neutral site series.
Speaker 1: You're playing louis Louisville's playing Cincinnati, and Cincinnati not at
Speaker 1: their home arena. Cincinnati is coming to Louisville to play Louisville,
Speaker 1: but not at the Yum. And that's where like, honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't really know how it's gonna work as far
Speaker 1: as the money, but like this is probably then this
Speaker 1: is probably the fairgrounds event. Like I don't know how
Speaker 1: you again, I don't know if you've got like a
Speaker 1: contract or whatnot, but like U of L will probably
Speaker 1: be able to sell tickets, but like, this is not
Speaker 1: a home game for either, because that's how you have
Speaker 1: to do it, because if you have season tickets, like
Speaker 1: you can't just say, okay, well, hey, only the you know,
Speaker 1: only premiere season ticket holders get access to this game.
Speaker 1: So it's truly a neutral site game in every aspect
Speaker 1: other than the fact that you know it's not because
Speaker 1: you're playing in Louisville, whereas you know you would assume
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess, I guess maybe the scenarios
Speaker 1: that you would get a more mixed crowd because you know,
Speaker 1: there's not anybody that's going to be at either game
Speaker 1: that's there because of a season ticket. So yeah, Louisville
Speaker 1: right now in this upcoming season is going to be
Speaker 1: playing in the non conference portion of their schedule. Kentucky, Indiana, Memphis, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati of course what I just mentioned, and then uh,
Speaker 1: we don't know for certain, but it sounds like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Arkansas in the acc SEC Challenge. So there
Speaker 1: is clearly some real connections in every aspect to every
Speaker 1: one of those opponents. And look, that's the stuff that
Speaker 1: makes sports fun, right, Like we're gonna watch our team
Speaker 1: play and hope that they win no matter who they play,
Speaker 1: especially if it's a good team. But when there's familiarity,
Speaker 1: there's history, and there's rivalry, which clearly there is between Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Memphis and you know, Louisville. So it's good. And I
Speaker 1: don't again I started the show, I think given Pat
Speaker 1: Kelsey a lot of credit for, you know, really understanding
Speaker 1: the fan base and kind of playing to us and
Speaker 1: understanding that these are games that we would really appreciate.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he doesn't deserve credit for that,
Speaker 1: but like, I'm sure there's more to it than just him,
Speaker 1: but like, these are the kind of things like put
Speaker 1: it this way. This is the best way I can
Speaker 1: say it before we move on. It's hard to get
Speaker 1: to get people interested in like coming to your games
Speaker 1: if they're not season tickets holders, unless they're just you know,
Speaker 1: like it's what they do. There's a core group of
Speaker 1: every fan base that's gonna be there regardless of whatever's
Speaker 1: going on. But then there's others that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're gonna support their fans, they'll come to games, but
Speaker 1: like it's really just whenever it's convenient for them or
Speaker 1: whenever it's a big game. Having games against Memphis, Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and Indiana and even Tennessee to an extent, although that
Speaker 1: series will come to an end after this year and
Speaker 1: we played them last year, Like those are games that, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I definitely would like to make sure I
Speaker 1: have a ticket to come to that one rather than
Speaker 1: playing bellerman E, k u UTEP, you know, Florida A
Speaker 1: and M something like that. And also you clearly are
Speaker 1: playing a tougher schedule, which is going to matter more
Speaker 1: now than it ever has when it comes to the
Speaker 1: non conference because the ACC obviously taken some steps back.
Speaker 1: All right, So the College Football Playoff is going to change,
Speaker 1: and we've only had it one year as far as
Speaker 1: it being an expanded playoff. So there were meetings that
Speaker 1: took place a few weeks ago in Dallas. It was
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff Spring meetings, and this came out
Speaker 1: from Ross Ellinger, who I would say it is probably
Speaker 1: the top guy to follow when it comes to the
Speaker 1: college football playoff conference realignment, that kind of stuff. He
Speaker 1: used to work. He's worked for a lot of folks.
Speaker 1: He used to be at Sports Illustrated. Now he's at Yahoo,
Speaker 1: and he's the one who reported that as sixteen team
Speaker 1: college football playoff bracket has gained big time support, and
Speaker 1: of course it's mostly from the Big Ten of the SEC,
Speaker 1: which again, like I don't know, I just I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm not able to just like not be I
Speaker 1: don't know, this is big news, but like I can't
Speaker 1: share this news and discuss it without being sour grapes
Speaker 1: because it's just to me, this is becoming a popularity
Speaker 1: contest more than anything else, and that's just sad to me, Like,
Speaker 1: clearly you got to win, like you can't be terrible.
Speaker 1: But what I assumed what happen is apparently happening, and
Speaker 1: that is that there's going to be guaranteed automatic bids
Speaker 1: for four teams from the SEC, four from the Big Ten,
Speaker 1: two from the ACC, two from the Big twelve, one
Speaker 1: from the G six, which what is G six, it's
Speaker 1: G five. There's only four conferences.
Speaker 2: There's fly like a G six. You remember that song.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's now power four and the G
Speaker 1: six is what it used to be called the G five. Oh,
Speaker 1: I get it, now, I get it. The PAC twelve
Speaker 1: is being told you can call yourself the PAC twelve.
Speaker 1: You're you're not power five, it's power four now, which
Speaker 1: is true. Like anybody worth a dam in the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve got taken, you know what I mean, Like Oregon
Speaker 1: State in Washington State, don't get to say we rounded
Speaker 1: up some bombs from the Mountain West and the WCC
Speaker 1: and now we're Power five two, Like, no, you're not.
Speaker 1: So that's what that means. So there's now G six
Speaker 1: and only one team from those is going to get in. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess you could get in as an at lard,
Speaker 1: like there's one guaranteed slot for Boise, for an app State,
Speaker 1: for a Memphis something like that. But the at largest
Speaker 1: can be anybody. So like if there was a year
Speaker 1: where there were two teams from the so, I guess
Speaker 1: one of the at largest has got to be Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: right has to be? So really in years like Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: if Notre Dame stinks and they're six and six and
Speaker 1: they wouldn't get in so therefore there'd be three at
Speaker 1: largs and I guess technically one of those at large
Speaker 1: could be another G six. But here's what I think
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. You're gonna get You know, clearly we
Speaker 1: know four from the SEC, four from the Big Twelve,
Speaker 1: and the likelihood of the three at larges going to
Speaker 1: a Big twelve or an ACC team non existent. I mean, right,
Speaker 1: because it's popularity. They want to talk about viewership being
Speaker 1: a factor being part of the criteria to get in.
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, in recent years, like I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that there's been enough from the ACC or the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve to where like they're gonna they're getting screwed,
Speaker 1: but just to know that you can be terrible, Like
Speaker 1: the SEC coaches could collectively get together and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all want to take the year off. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: kind of tired, we ran out of money to pay
Speaker 1: players other than the REV share, We're going to automatically
Speaker 1: get four in any way, Like, let's just do that.
Speaker 1: Like guaranteeing four spots in this college football Playoff before
Speaker 1: any game is played to any team in any conference
Speaker 1: is insanity and it is absolutely the biggest step made
Speaker 1: in college football. To make it quite clear, it's based
Speaker 1: off of popularity in brand more than it is results.
Speaker 1: That's what this is. And I'm aware that there could
Speaker 1: be no guaranteed spots and it still play out this
Speaker 1: exact way. I know that at least lie to me,
Speaker 1: make me think that it was based off of what
Speaker 1: you believe that these teams earned, regardless of what conference
Speaker 1: they're in. And this is not an this is not
Speaker 1: an ACC thing from my end, meaning I'm not here
Speaker 1: acting like the ACC is gonna get robbed and gonna
Speaker 1: get screwed. I mean they are if they're good, because
Speaker 1: they won't get Like anybody agreeing to this, you're agreeing
Speaker 1: that moving forward, no matter what happens, those leagues are
Speaker 1: just better and they probably will be. Or maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know, like maybe Nick Saban comes out of retirement
Speaker 1: and takes over at Virginia Tech. Maybe Kirby Smart gets arrested,
Speaker 1: gets fired, then he gets hired at Miami. Like I'm
Speaker 1: giving you crazy hypotheticals here, but I'm just saying like,
Speaker 1: if in fact those things happen, it wouldn't matter because
Speaker 1: ACC's only slotted too. Like think about that, like we're
Speaker 1: saying before a season starts, results don't matter. Why would
Speaker 1: we do that if you truly believe that you are
Speaker 1: as you know, dominant as you are in football, which
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you're not great in football, though
Speaker 1: timing isn't great here because last year things played out
Speaker 1: to where you didn't do anything out of conference to
Speaker 1: prove that you deserve the benefit of the doubt, meaning
Speaker 1: you can be an eight and four nine and three
Speaker 1: team in the SEC and you can live in delusional
Speaker 1: world of like, well that means we basically would have
Speaker 1: been eleven and one in any other league. Well, then
Speaker 1: you played teams from other leagues and you lost or
Speaker 1: you lost to teams in your league that everybody knows, thinks.
Speaker 1: So like, you know, if you really do believe that
Speaker 1: you are as dominant as you think you are, then like,
Speaker 1: why do you need the guarantees? Just go be badass?
Speaker 1: It's like you claim you are. And again, I don't
Speaker 1: want to sound like a hypocrite because if you're Greg
Speaker 1: Sank and this is what you're fighting for, you're doing
Speaker 1: your job. I mean, hell, Greg SANKI would he be
Speaker 1: out of line to request all twelve. I'm sorry all
Speaker 1: sixteen be SEC teams, Like, I mean, that's not realistic.
Speaker 1: But like his job is to advocate for his conference,
Speaker 1: his league. So I mean, if you're the ACC or
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, you can be real with yourself and
Speaker 1: know that right now you are behind. But agreeing to this,
Speaker 1: what's your incentive to even go out and get better.
Speaker 1: You're slotted it too, they got two more than you,
Speaker 1: Like what like why would you agree to this? You
Speaker 1: could get substantially better and you'll still know that no
Speaker 1: matter what, the are getting double up to what you're
Speaker 1: getting in in the playoff. I just I just don't
Speaker 1: want to understand how this this makes. I mean, again,
Speaker 1: it makes sense for the SEC and the Big ten
Speaker 1: if you can get away like if if it if
Speaker 1: it it's what if they agree to it? But like,
Speaker 1: and I know what kind of leverage did the ACC
Speaker 1: and the Big twelve have?
Speaker 2: Not much?
Speaker 1: Right, But at some point, like if you're not gonna
Speaker 1: lie to me and tell me that it's all based
Speaker 1: off of like what teams did and how you evaluate them,
Speaker 1: not by predetermined slots set up for each conference at
Speaker 1: a certain amount, then just tell us it's popularity. And again,
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna watch college football because I don't know
Speaker 1: a scenario where I wouldn't. I love it. But like
Speaker 1: this is this is take this is making it to
Speaker 1: where it's like it's not really about what you do,
Speaker 1: like because you can do whatever and it won't matter.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that gets you know, approved, then Also,
Speaker 1: like if you're in the like if you're in the
Speaker 1: SEC and you're like a Kentucky, I mean, you're never
Speaker 1: gonna get one of the four, right, Like I think
Speaker 1: Kentucky's only chance and Mississippi State's only chance is gonna
Speaker 1: be one of the at largest and you're just gonna
Speaker 1: have to get in based off of like again benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt, Like, well you played in the SEC
Speaker 1: and yeah you weren't. Like imagine any world where you're
Speaker 1: not one of the four best teams in your league,
Speaker 1: but you get a chance in the playoff over a
Speaker 1: team that might have been, like, you know, the second
Speaker 1: best team in their league. Again, because results don't matter. Affiliation, popularity,
Speaker 1: that's what it's about. Now, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back on the other side. We
Speaker 1: got to talk about the Bill Belichick situation, because despite
Speaker 1: this statement from North Carolina today about you know, I
Speaker 1: guess wanting to put people at ease and and I
Speaker 1: guess correct something that they felt they needed to correct
Speaker 1: about Belichick's young girlfriend being allowed near the program at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's there's some I guess verbiage in
Speaker 1: the contract with Belichick that now makes me more confident
Speaker 1: now that I've seen this that like he ain't gonna
Speaker 1: coach a game there. It's not gonna happen. Stick around.
Speaker 1: It's coffee and Company fuel about Thorntons right here on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven.
Speaker 5: Ninety Now back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 5: on Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 1: So in about an hour, we were gonna do our
Speaker 1: Mother's Day draft. We're not drafting New Moms, but I
Speaker 1: guess I should have made sure I was. I was
Speaker 1: ready to say that correctly. We're going to do a
Speaker 1: draft of TV Moms. We've done this before, it's been
Speaker 1: a couple of years, but with Mother's Day coming up
Speaker 1: and I love implementing different drafts to the show, Austin
Speaker 1: and I are going to do a draft of TV Moms.
Speaker 1: Let's go our favorite mothers that we you know, enjoyed
Speaker 1: through a television show.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good ones out there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, there's uh, there's I mean, there'll
Speaker 1: be some that don't get that don't get picked, but
Speaker 1: are certainly worthy of maybe a free agent type contract,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: O DFA board is gonna be uh, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: pretty wild.
Speaker 1: Because in most I mean there aren't many There are
Speaker 1: not many television shows that I can think of where
Speaker 1: there was ever any like way of making a like
Speaker 1: mom's never a bad character, and if they are at
Speaker 1: times seeming like it, there's always that level of life.
Speaker 1: Let me give you an example, this one. I don't
Speaker 1: think we'll be drafted by either of us, but Skyler
Speaker 1: in Breaking Bad, Walter White's wife, she's the worst and
Speaker 1: very easy to hate. But throughout the show. For me,
Speaker 1: and it's been many, many many years since I watched you,
Speaker 1: at times would would have a moment of like, well,
Speaker 1: I totally get while she's acting like she's acting like,
Speaker 1: look what's going on in her world? But you know,
Speaker 1: it's a TV show, so you kind of get lost
Speaker 1: in it and you know, don't really consider you know.
Speaker 3: Something's always been kind of hot about Skyler to me,
Speaker 3: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: You might be the first person I've ever heard say that.
Speaker 1: Not that I found her to be repulsive or anything
Speaker 1: like that. I've just never heard anybody say that, because
Speaker 1: anytime she's ever been talked about that I know of,
Speaker 1: it's been people like, oh, she sucks. Although yet she
Speaker 1: was more popular than her sister, Hank's wife. What was
Speaker 1: her name?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Wow, she was very easy to hate. Oh was it Christine? Maybe? No,
Speaker 1: it was I'm gonna look at a Walter White's sister
Speaker 1: or not Walter White.
Speaker 2: Hold on, give me a second, because it's it's always
Speaker 2: on my as.
Speaker 1: I found it. It's a real easy name.
Speaker 2: Marie Murray. I knew it was Murray. I knew it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But am I wrong? I mean, I haven't watched
Speaker 1: that show in so long.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't like Marie.
Speaker 1: Most people didn't. But nobody likes Skyler.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: I didn't like her either, But in perspective, there's some
Speaker 3: just like you said. That's I kind of get it.
Speaker 3: I kind of get why she's sort of act in
Speaker 3: that way. But she went about.
Speaker 2: Things and executed things terribly the wrong way during the show.
Speaker 1: Every character in that show, from start to finish, had
Speaker 1: moments of you not liking them, Yes, every one of them,
Speaker 1: even Walter. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, that's that's to me. That's
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's what makes a great TV show
Speaker 1: and a TV character is that someone who you find charismatic,
Speaker 1: you find ways to I mean, you don't even realize
Speaker 1: it why you're doing anying, because you know you're watching TV,
Speaker 1: but like you don't have any ability to take a
Speaker 1: step back and realize that despite this person seeming like,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of funny or interesting or maybe even
Speaker 1: understandable as to why they're the way they are in
Speaker 1: your world, most people would be like, this guy's like me,
Speaker 1: give it. I don't know if you ever watched this
Speaker 1: show Shameless, have you ever seen it?
Speaker 2: You know what it is.
Speaker 1: Frank Gallagher is the perfect example of why I kept that.
Speaker 1: I mean that show and they ended up I mean
Speaker 1: it didn't it needed to end like three seasons before that,
Speaker 1: it before it did. But he is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite characters. But in every aspect he's an absolute piece
Speaker 1: of garbage. He's a human and like, you know that,
Speaker 1: but then you kind of like see that you know,
Speaker 1: there's like a level of wanting to find some good
Speaker 1: just like the people in the show do, like they
Speaker 1: don't want this brother father husband to be the way
Speaker 1: they are, you know. So moms, though, I feel like
Speaker 1: there's not been a whole lot of range with mothers
Speaker 1: and TV shows, even ones that are like a little rough,
Speaker 1: like they're usually like, let me give you another example
Speaker 1: of a mom that I just when I watched this show,
Speaker 1: she was my least favorite character. But like if I
Speaker 1: ever kind of sat back and you know, tried to
Speaker 1: envision you know, her situation in the real world, not
Speaker 1: on TV, like I would get watched she is the
Speaker 1: way she is the mom and everybody loves Raymond. I
Speaker 1: mean her her name was also Marie, like like, you know,
Speaker 1: her husband was a real dumbass, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, and her reaction her, you know, her on
Speaker 1: the show was very justified given that you know, she
Speaker 1: had who she had as in laws and her husband
Speaker 1: was a real dufust you know. It's just that show.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that show. Oh my god, yes, like that show.
Speaker 1: Let me give you that show was on and it
Speaker 1: was really actually it might have been the reruns. At
Speaker 1: the time, it was really big whenever I watched it.
Speaker 1: But I do remember it being on live when I
Speaker 1: was young, but the majority of what I watched was
Speaker 1: after it had already come to an end. But I uh,
Speaker 1: you know, nowadays with all the all the streaming platforms
Speaker 1: and just I mean I could, I could. I don't
Speaker 1: think I'll ever need a network TV show to watch,
Speaker 1: just because there's all kinds of different platforms that have
Speaker 1: all endless stuff you can find. But we went to
Speaker 1: vacation a couple of years back and we took my mama,
Speaker 1: who you know, she's she's now close to ninety years old,
Speaker 1: and you know, she she watches a lot of those shows,
Speaker 1: and she just kept it on in her in the
Speaker 1: area of the house that we rented near the beach
Speaker 1: in Jacky Island, and she just she watched a lot.
Speaker 1: I think it was TV Land. She kept it on
Speaker 1: TV Land and they played, they played Everybody Loves Raymond
Speaker 1: like I feel like, twenty four hours a day. And
Speaker 1: we would spend time with her and end up just
Speaker 1: kind of getting getting lost and binging in a little bit,
Speaker 1: watching you know, four straight episodes. And I would never
Speaker 1: seek it out, but like I've remembered, like I do,
Speaker 1: like I like that show, Like that show is like
Speaker 1: you know, it's uh, I don't know if I watched
Speaker 1: it for the first time now that I would enjoy it,
Speaker 1: But there's some nostalgia to it, but also like to me,
Speaker 1: I don't And they probably make sitcoms the same exact
Speaker 1: way now And maybe I'm just now spoiled to where
Speaker 1: I know, I don't like I can find other stuff
Speaker 1: that's more interesting to me. But no, Everybody Loves Raymond
Speaker 1: is a good show, and I can't believe it's been
Speaker 1: off the air as long as it has. Where does
Speaker 1: time go? It's crazy? All right, So let's talk about
Speaker 1: the Bill Belichick situation. So it's really just seemingly been
Speaker 1: a never ending run here where every day there's a
Speaker 1: new story that, like you just assume is true about
Speaker 1: his twenty four year old girlfriend who's really controlling, you know,
Speaker 1: seemingly his whole life. It was Pablo Torre who put
Speaker 1: it out there, I believe, on a podcast that came
Speaker 1: out this morning. Yeah, Pablo Torre. Pablo Torre finds out
Speaker 1: as the name of his show, and whatever latest episode
Speaker 1: they did, it was released earlier today, and it included
Speaker 1: him saying that North Carolina the university has basically banned
Speaker 1: Jordan Hudson from any from their football facilities.
Speaker 2: And all that.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me see if I can get this
Speaker 1: to play for you. This might actually here we go.
Speaker 4: A couple of breaking news updates since what has happened
Speaker 4: publicly since we last gathered Number One, okay, two sources
Speaker 4: at the University of North Carolina tell me that there
Speaker 4: has been a decision was made last week by the
Speaker 4: higher ups inside the athletic department that had hired Bill
Speaker 4: Belichick to be the highest paid public employee, not just coach,
Speaker 4: in the state of North Carolina, at ten million dollars
Speaker 4: a year, and that decision was that Jordan Hudson is
Speaker 4: no longer allowed in the football building.
Speaker 1: She is not allowed on the football field. Quote. Don't
Speaker 1: think you'll be hearing much from Jordan moving forward.
Speaker 5: Dang not the building.
Speaker 1: I'm so. That of course, got a lot of reaction,
Speaker 1: and within the hours of it being a real story
Speaker 1: and really just a development within the story, North Carolina
Speaker 1: released a statement basically saying that that wasn't true and
Speaker 1: I don't let me see if I can find the
Speaker 1: actual their actual statement, because I mean the fact that
Speaker 1: they have to release statements about this is insane and
Speaker 1: it has to be I mean, it has to be
Speaker 1: something that like deep down they realize, is that, like
Speaker 1: they this isn't worth it, right, even if they're having
Speaker 1: to correct things like this, these things aren't going away.
Speaker 1: There's nothing anybody could say about Bill Belichick, seventy something
Speaker 1: year old man and his twenty four year old girlfriend
Speaker 1: and what we know now as far as what's been
Speaker 1: put out before all this, like you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: keep doing this because there's not going away. This thing
Speaker 1: has created a life of its own, and you have
Speaker 1: to ask yourself do you keep like why keep doing this?
Speaker 1: What's the payout? What makes it? And even if it
Speaker 1: is in fact like all an exaggeration, what do you expect?
Speaker 1: You hired a seventy something year old guy who's no
Speaker 1: longer coaching, who's now I mean, like him being interested
Speaker 1: in coaching in college should have been a red flag
Speaker 1: to Carolina, like what are you doing here? Bill? What
Speaker 1: do you need this for?
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: And he might not have had an answer until he
Speaker 1: got one from Jordan, So Carolina did say that that's
Speaker 1: not true. Kind of here's what they said, quote, while
Speaker 1: Jordan's not an employe at the University of Carolina, she
Speaker 1: is welcome to the Carolina football facilities. Jordan will continue
Speaker 1: to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand
Speaker 1: outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football in the university.
Speaker 1: So they're saying that she's welcome, and they're clarifying in
Speaker 1: there that she's responsible for his personal brand outside. Why
Speaker 1: not just say she's not responsible for it, she doesn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with And you kind of did
Speaker 1: by saying she's not an employee. But like, this thing
Speaker 1: is a mess. And here's what Like all the stories
Speaker 1: we've heard about her forcing her way into that dunkin
Speaker 1: Donuts commercial, at the time, nobody knew it was just
Speaker 1: some hot chick that was, you know in the commercial
Speaker 1: with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and Bill Belichick and
Speaker 1: they're just playing into the Boston stuff. You know who
Speaker 1: else was in that commercial, randomly Jack Harlowe. They brought
Speaker 1: out all the stars. Well she's in it, and nobody
Speaker 1: knew at the time that was Belichick's girlfriend. Well, now
Speaker 1: we see her in there and like the stories come out,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we remember her. She wasn't supposed to be
Speaker 1: in it. She forced her way in and we knew
Speaker 1: we wanted to get Bill in it, which Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: being in that commercial at that time was huge. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was fresh off he just got done I think coaching.
Speaker 1: I think he might have.
Speaker 2: He might have.
Speaker 1: He might not have even been done coaching New England
Speaker 1: when that was filmed, to be honest with you. So
Speaker 1: there's that. And then now we hear about Belichick doing
Speaker 1: a commercial where there were girls in bikinis. Have you
Speaker 1: heard this one, Austin. No, Yeah, he did a commercial
Speaker 1: where there was like girls in bikinis that were like
Speaker 1: part of like you know, the shoot, and she got jealous,
Speaker 1: so she went and put on a bikini and showed
Speaker 1: up too and tried to get in the commercial as well.
Speaker 1: And or maybe wasn't. Maybe it's just a photo shoot.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. Like it was a
Speaker 1: brand deal that he did, basically him, but probably something
Speaker 1: she arranged because she wants his money. But there were
Speaker 1: girls in bikinis and she put on a bikini and
Speaker 1: like either she was in it as well or Here's
Speaker 1: what it was. She told them that if she wanted
Speaker 1: to be in a bikini, to keep his attention because
Speaker 1: if not, he'd be distracted. Like what so here, here's
Speaker 1: what we now know with Carolina. And maybe they can
Speaker 1: get away with saying, well, we have to we have
Speaker 1: to respond to things that aren't true about our program
Speaker 1: and our decisions. But I happen to think that if
Speaker 1: they knew for certain that all these things we're hearing
Speaker 1: about her in the last two weeks aren't true, they'd
Speaker 1: be letting us know, wouldn't they. So Like, if you're
Speaker 1: going to correct this but not correct the other stuff, again,
Speaker 1: you may have the gray area of well that's their
Speaker 1: personal stuff. Either way, it's your ball, coach. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is an absolute circus. Like I don't
Speaker 1: know any Carolina football fans, and I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: to make fun. I'm being serious. I don't know any.
Speaker 1: I know some that are Carolina basketball fans, but they're
Speaker 1: just bandwagon fans who like Michael Jordan or something and
Speaker 1: didn't want to, you know, be a Louisvere or Kentucky fan.
Speaker 1: But like, your your program is TMZ in football right now.
Speaker 1: But here's here's what tells me that this will end
Speaker 1: before he coaches the game. And I don't know why
Speaker 1: there's not more attention on this. Remember his buyout that
Speaker 1: he was all, you know, real like fighting, like they
Speaker 1: were trying to say, like, look, you know we're not
Speaker 1: gonna hire if you're going to go to the NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: they ended up getting him to agree to an adjusted
Speaker 1: buyout that that would limit him from getting a last
Speaker 1: minute an NFL job, right, So in thirty days, and
Speaker 1: in fact less than thirty days, his buyout drops from
Speaker 1: ten million to one million. And Bubba Cunningham, who's the
Speaker 1: ad who's been at odds with the school and the
Speaker 1: board there for a while, including with the Hubert Davis situation,
Speaker 1: he's now linked to the Michigan State athletic director job.
Speaker 1: He goes to Michigan State to get out of this
Speaker 1: mess with Hubert and Bill Belichick. Like, to be honest,
Speaker 1: Carolina is a mess. Hubert Davis is not bringing any
Speaker 1: shame and embarrassment to their program, but he ain't good
Speaker 1: enough to be their coach and that's been proven in
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And so this offseason they've
Speaker 1: gotten worse in my opinion, So Bubba Cunningham's gone. Whoever
Speaker 1: takes over, it's a million dollars to cut your losses
Speaker 1: with Belichick and then you start fresh, and then you
Speaker 1: probably get rid of Hubert Davis at some point. Like
Speaker 1: that's probably what's gonna happen, because that makes too much
Speaker 1: sense not to happen, not to play out that way
Speaker 1: given what's going on. I mean, you could, I mean
Speaker 1: promote Lonnie Galloway. Not Lonnie Galloway. He's not there anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't think he let he did leave Louisville for Carolina.
Speaker 1: But I'm meant to say Grek McGee, like Geric McGee
Speaker 1: left Louisville staff to go be on Belichick's staff, does
Speaker 1: make him head coach, he'll be just as good because
Speaker 1: Belichick is not really there. Clearly his family's even concerned
Speaker 1: now that like this is something right here, So I mean,
Speaker 1: there's really nothing. Look at this point, you can just
Speaker 1: understand as a university people could make up all kinds
Speaker 1: of nonsense and it's nonsense, but like you no longer
Speaker 1: have any ability to can control the narrative here, So
Speaker 1: cut your losses. I mean, to me, it's an easy decision,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be shocked if what you know, the
Speaker 1: whole Bubba Cunningham and the buyout, like I think that'll
Speaker 1: lead to this thing just dying soon. All right, quick break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back and wrap up the four o'clock hour
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, and then we got the five o'clock hour
Speaker 1: before we get out here for the weekend. So stick
Speaker 1: around right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 5: Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 5: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 1: We'll see if the Pacers can get off to a
Speaker 1: three and oh start tonight. They're at home after stealing
Speaker 1: I mean really stealing game game two. They got game
Speaker 1: one without a whole lot of controversy. But that comeback
Speaker 1: against the Calves, I think it might have killed Cleveland,
Speaker 1: but we shall see, we shall see. But tomorrow it
Speaker 1: is Celtics Knicks in New York and Austin. Do you
Speaker 1: have any any feel, any care at all for like
Speaker 1: Knicks fans? Like, do you do you like are they
Speaker 1: ever to or do you like them? Not like them? Indifferent? Whatever?
Speaker 1: I like them better than Celtics fans, I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't actually thought about it the other night. I
Speaker 1: don't like either of these teams really right, and the
Speaker 1: Celtics are pretty easy for me to dislike, But it's
Speaker 1: really not for any it's you know, it's not for
Speaker 1: any real specific reason. But the Knicks. There was a
Speaker 1: time where I used to kind of admire the Knicks because,
Speaker 1: like I and honestly, to be fair, they have proven
Speaker 1: that if they have any little bit of momentum, like
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a lot of attention because they're in
Speaker 1: the biggest market and their fans they have a lot
Speaker 1: of them. But they're they're like the biggest front running
Speaker 1: franchise in my lifetime in any sport because they've never
Speaker 1: accomplished anything in my life and anytime they have any
Speaker 1: real big, like burst of momentum, they're always humbled and
Speaker 1: you know, belittled, but like they don't ever take their medicine.
Speaker 1: They just still, you know, like the Knicks would the
Speaker 1: Knicks behavior after a win, players fans top to bottom
Speaker 1: would make you think that they've won thirteen rings in
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. Yeah, and they don't. They don't
Speaker 1: have any accomplishments to show like they Patrick Ewing is
Speaker 1: the best Nick of my lifetime, and he never made
Speaker 1: it to the finals. I mean, you know, like they've
Speaker 1: they've been really bad for a long time, with way
Speaker 1: better resources than most because they're the Knicks in New
Speaker 1: York City. And I do think this team, like Jalen
Speaker 1: Brunson is, I respect the hell out of them. I
Speaker 1: think he's a really good player. But you know the
Speaker 1: other good players who again are good, deserve their credit,
Speaker 1: but like they're easy to dislike. I mean, Josh Hartz,
Speaker 1: the ultimate, he's on your team, hell yeah, if not yet,
Speaker 1: I don't like him. So I don't like either of
Speaker 1: these teams. But the Knicks, man, when you know they've
Speaker 1: got they probably in a weird way. Although I think
Speaker 1: a lot of these people have to be bandwagon because
Speaker 1: what part of their life, Like did the Knicks give
Speaker 1: them great memories to make them huge fans? But they've
Speaker 1: got a ton of celebrity fans and Spike right, he doesn't,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't need to check his credentials. We
Speaker 1: know he's I mean, he's a lifer, like he'll never
Speaker 1: not rep the Knicks at any moment, right. And then
Speaker 1: there's others that like I just remember always being around,
Speaker 1: like Ben Stiller, believe it or not, of all people
Speaker 1: like he's he's a diehard Knicks fan and it's been
Speaker 1: pretty clear. But they play tomorrow in New York City
Speaker 1: and the cheapest resale ticket to get into the Garden
Speaker 1: is six hundred dollars. That's insane, and it's because you
Speaker 1: know they're up to Oh, they've had more momentum now
Speaker 1: than ever and uh, you know, everybody wants to be
Speaker 1: there and they'll be. I guarantee you there'll be more
Speaker 1: celebrities at that game than any NBA playoff game we've
Speaker 1: had in a long time. I mean that, even more
Speaker 1: than La even more when the Lakers and Lebron were
Speaker 1: on a round. I mean it because it's just different
Speaker 1: with New York.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I listen. I love New York, love the Garden,
Speaker 3: love MSG. I mean you talk about walking into a
Speaker 3: place and just feeling the history. But like, like you said,
Speaker 3: what what other kind of like normal fans are are
Speaker 3: going to that game that for six hundred dollars a ticket.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: And last year I was really into the playoffs for
Speaker 1: one series more than I've been in a long time
Speaker 1: because it was the Knicks. There's a history there, Like
Speaker 1: I remember watching Reggie tell Spike Lee, you know you
Speaker 1: all choke, can you believe it? Like the Knicks were,
Speaker 1: you know, the bad guys, and I'm a Pacers fan,
Speaker 1: and when they got off to a lead last year
Speaker 1: against the Pacers, and Josh Hart while Reggie was live
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, ran over and started talking crap to
Speaker 1: Reggie while he was on live TV, just being like
Speaker 1: the Knicks. And then we come back and get him
Speaker 1: in Game seven to end the series in New York,
Speaker 1: and like nobody talked about.
Speaker 2: It, and that just forgot about it.
Speaker 1: It pained me because it's just part of like the
Speaker 1: full proof that like market matters, meaning right, if you
Speaker 1: got a chance to prop up the Knicks, do it.
Speaker 1: But like they got humbled because they were talking reckless.
Speaker 1: They felt like they'd won the series. They were trying
Speaker 1: to punk the Pacers, and the Pacers went into the
Speaker 1: garden in Game seven and never never led by less
Speaker 1: than double figures outside the first few minutes.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I feel like last year I pumped them.
Speaker 3: That rivalry really got restored, especially when you're talking about
Speaker 3: like between Tyree.
Speaker 1: But nobody talked about it because the narrative is that
Speaker 1: we just got to prop up the next because the Knicks. No,
Speaker 1: you're right, and the Pacers punked them. And the Pacers
Speaker 1: also gave away two games just they the Pacers should
Speaker 1: have been up to zero against the Celtics to start
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. At the Eastern Conference was the finals
Speaker 1: of the Simmis. Last year, it was the Simmis because
Speaker 1: they went on to play Boston. Right, No, who did
Speaker 1: Boston beat in the finals of the Eastern Conference Finals?
Speaker 1: It wasn't the Pacers. The Spacers didn't make the East
Speaker 1: Conference finals. But either way, Milwaukee maybe, but I know,
Speaker 1: Boston beat Indy and they swept them, actually I believe,
Speaker 1: but the Pacers freaking had it. I mean at least
Speaker 1: two of the first four games the Pacers honestly kind
Speaker 1: of I guess that's the good part about being a
Speaker 1: Pacers fan. No matter what you do, if it's sensational
Speaker 1: or if it's bad in a bad way, like you're
Speaker 1: not relevant enough for it to be in people's memory.
Speaker 1: Cause again, like that was a big deal last year
Speaker 1: that the Knicks got all cocky like they were back,
Speaker 1: they're about to, you know, back from what they've never
Speaker 1: been good in forty years, but like they're you know,
Speaker 1: New York is here, and then you get humbled by
Speaker 1: you know, in Game seven in your house right and
Speaker 1: stephen A. Smith melted down and cried like a little girl,
Speaker 1: and you know, all forgotten because you know it makes
Speaker 1: me I'm if you can't tell them. I'm dealing with
Speaker 1: the realization that, like my teams that I love in
Speaker 1: pro sports, market size matters, and the Colts are never
Speaker 1: going to be a big attraction for a free agent.
Speaker 1: Neither are the Pacers. So you got to build up
Speaker 1: and draft. And we got lucky with the Colts with
Speaker 1: the draft with Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck and now
Speaker 1: we're screwed. And then with the Pacers, like I think
Speaker 1: they're doing absolutely in all honesty, the Pacers as an
Speaker 1: organization have always done the best they could. Like we
Speaker 1: we were in phenomenal shape to win rings, and then
Speaker 1: Lebron decided, you want to go to Miami, And you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron in Miami was the scariest Lebron we ever watched.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody remembers that he embraced being
Speaker 1: a villain. He wore a mask, looked like Batman, at
Speaker 1: times out there, like he couldn't believe people hated him
Speaker 1: because of the decision, and like Miami Lebron after year
Speaker 1: one there, when Dirk got his ring in Dallas that
Speaker 1: next year, it was it was scary times for Lebron
Speaker 1: in Miami and like we just couldn't get past him.
Speaker 1: We had a damn good team with Roy Hibbert. Lance
Speaker 1: Stevenson was a big part of that team. Obviously our
Speaker 1: main guy was Paul George at the time, and you know,
Speaker 1: just didn't work out. So I'll quick crying about it
Speaker 1: because I know none of you all care. Let's get
Speaker 1: to a break. We'll come back and finish strong here
Speaker 1: on a Friday, gets you out of here for Mother's
Speaker 1: Day weekend. On Sports Talk seven ninety
