Tuesday morning, 92 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.680 I'm running around Anthony, picking up my dreams from Big Springs, 93 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.839 taking things the coolers back to Big Springs, dropping off, 94 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.040 picking up chicks after the weather's beautiful I'm like, the 95 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.399 weather was beautiful Sunday. The weather was beautiful yesterday, and 96 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.399 I mean it was during my golf outing. It couldn't 97 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.279 have been worse. So anyway, that's the first time I'm 98 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.519 batting pretty good. But I hated that for the groups 99 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.480 that had to go out on Monday. Better luck next year, 100 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.079 is all I could say. So anyway, that's where we 101 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.000 are now. We've had all kinds of things transpiring in sports. 102 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.920 We know, we've got the NBA game going on tonight. 103 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:36.399 We'll be watching that changing ownership with Indianapolis coachs. We'll 104 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.759 get to that Ersaes daughters taking over. We talk about 105 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.519 that cat fans, And I'm being honest with you. I 106 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.560 used to say anthy before you came on the show, 107 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.279 that I was gonna bar vince Boro Big Dog out 108 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.519 of the city of Louisville because he would come in 109 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.680 and poach all the great players out of the city. 110 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.279 Big Dog took him up to Lexington. Anthony, we've got 111 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.399 Big Dog fans. Uh, Oh, we're gonna talk about that. 112 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.839 That When when I found out about that, when a 113 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.560 Kentucky big Kentucky fan called me and told me about that, 114 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.079 that is a huge girl fan. He even said, uh oh, 115 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.879 soop system in trouble. Stoop is in trouble, gentlemen. But 116 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.560 we'll get to that, Simony. Where do you think, Where 117 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.120 do you want to start? Where are we gonna start first? Today? 118 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:24.920 You know, we we still got to get back on 119 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.279 the topic. 120 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.759 I know something that's still kind of on a lot 121 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.199 of people's minds. It's talking about that Russ Smith situation. 122 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.120 Now obviously we're talking about with him blowing less on 123 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.879 the duy, blowing less than the legal limit, But we 124 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.920 really wanted to get into do you believe that the. 125 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.120 Breathalyzer in the field sobriety tests are really one not 126 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.160 so much necessary, but are they really viable anymore at 127 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.480 this point? Because people are blowing below the legal limit, 128 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.600 they're blown lesson on the on the field sobriety test, 129 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.439 and a lot of people are still getting duys or 130 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.480 see't get arrested under that legal limit. Trying to figure 131 00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.920 out where the even ground is. 132 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.519 No letting it almost not even so mu's letting it go, 133 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.560 but more sort of a warning and helping someone get 134 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.959 home safely, rather than someone's out who's just fully intoxicated. 135 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.279 Anthony it's really tough. Everyone knows if you all don't 136 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.439 thrust Smith with at my golf out in on Monday 137 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.160 and his better half played golf CC plate with Mike 138 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:27.360 Vine's team, and we understand what it transpired over the weekend. 139 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.279 We do. And I want to say that there was 140 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.240 a little of a police officer arrested for DUI off 141 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.919 duty Hardin County was arrested for DUI. Also that blew 142 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.080 less than the legal limit, okay, and the breathalyzer test. 143 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.600 So I tell everyone, we like to be fair on 144 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.480 the sports radio. I do not throw police officers under 145 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.759 the bus unless they're wrong. I try to be fair 146 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.399 on the show. I try to get both sides of 147 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.639 the story. I don't give up names, but people do 148 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.240 trust me after this long, this length of time being 149 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.120 on the radio, Anthony and I do have friends in 150 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.000 high places, and they do tell me the facts. I 151 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.320 want to know the facts. I do, and then I 152 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.279 like to try to inform you all to the best 153 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.679 of my ability. I'm not a lawyer like some people 154 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.320 on the radio. I know Matt's a lawyer, but I 155 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.240 do get the facts, and you know, you don't always 156 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:26.960 have to be a lawyer to be able to read 157 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:33.240 and understand the law. The law. Most police officers are 158 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.480 not lawyers, but they know the law. So I just 159 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.360 want to go through the facts again. Russ Smith will 160 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.720 stop the Baxter Avenue and Highland Avenue made a U turn. 161 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.519 I'm sure we're going to see that on the body 162 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.879 cam video. I'm sure so, guys, when this goes to court, 163 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.960 I think next week. And we know civ Romaines is 164 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.200 the best in the city. He is, He's very at 165 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.759 defending his clients. He will have his case together in 166 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.080 associa the city of Louisville. But we should see the 167 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.879 U turn, okay, which is what brought the maserati to 168 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.200 the policeman's eye. You make an illegal turn. You make 169 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.240 a U turn on Backst Avenue and Highland Avenue if 170 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.519 anyone's been there and it's going to make you go. 171 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.360 I'm not saying that I haven't made you turns before. 172 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.440 I want to be clear with everybody. I have made 173 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.039 U turns when I'm not supposed to. I have, so 174 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.279 I just want to be fair with people. But again, 175 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.720 that's not the police officer's fault because he was doing 176 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.799 his job. Let's just make sure I told my friends 177 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.960 in high places that I would be fair, and I'm 178 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.080 going to be I still have my stance on this. 179 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.120 So let's go to the breathalyzer, Anthony and blowing the 180 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.759 breathalyzer I've set for ten and a half years on 181 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.399 Esports radio. Follow the directions of the police offic officers. 182 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.840 That will keep you out of trouble. Now, a lot 183 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.200 of people, if you social media, they say don't because 184 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.600 police officers are asking you questions to trap you. Some 185 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.600 are that's really bad. I don't know why, but they do. 186 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.919 And that's a fact. I mean, we've heard it on tape. 187 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.559 We've heard them and they're trying to get evidence from you. 188 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.159 So a lot of lawyers will tell you never speak. 189 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.559 But I don't say that police officer stops you. I say, 190 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.000 the best of your ability. If you answer the questions, 191 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.159 if you haven't done anything wrong, you should go on 192 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:37.159 your way. You should not always, but you should. So 193 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.639 Russ Smith follows directions. I found out Russ Smith was 194 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.080 very polite. I want everybody to understand, not one negative 195 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.159 word from Russ Smith, not one negative word from the 196 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.279 police officer. I'm just being factual with you. Oh, not one. 197 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.440 Both were very polite. Will you Restamith said yes, I will. 198 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.399 Russ Smith did onseen and blew less than the zero 199 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:04.879 point eight. Again, that doesn't mean, by law, you're not intoxicated, okay, 200 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.279 That just means that you blew less than what they 201 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.080 consider the legal limit. That's where I have a problem. 202 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.840 I hate the gray area, the zero point eight to 203 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:19.679 the zero point four to the zero point seventy nine discretion. 204 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.360 I don't like that. Just make if it's if you 205 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:28.000 blow zero point four, you're incotoxicated, simple point blank. The 206 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.440 law gets police officers in trouble and it irritates the public. Period. 207 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.360 Be definitive. If you're gonna make a law, be definitive. Period. 208 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.519 Don't give me the gray matter. So for my hierarchy 209 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.200 that I know you're listening, I'm with you. But be definitive. Okay. 210 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.440 So he blows less than the legal limit, but that 211 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:52.600 does not mean you're not intoxicated. So you have a 212 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.240 field sobriety test, which I'm finding out now is truly 213 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.720 the gauge. The field sobriety test is the gauge. I 214 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.360 have not seen the tape of the field sobriety test. 215 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.080 I want people to know that yet I will and 216 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.840 I'll tell you, but I haven't seen it yet, so 217 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.679 I cannot and I will not speak about that because 218 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.919 I don't know. But we'll have to wait and see 219 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.639 that piece. The second piece, truly the most important piece 220 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.759 of the tests of the two, the field sobriety anthem. 221 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.960 So when that comes out and we get to see it, 222 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.440 which I'm sure Restmith's lawyer has seen it. I'm sure 223 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.919 Restsmith was there, he'll have his opinion. I'm sure the 224 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.600 police officer is going to have his opinion. Both were polite, 225 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:41.840 there was no issues, no issues guys at all. But 226 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.600 I'm sure there's two sides of the story. I just 227 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.200 read Rest Smiths on television this morning that he disagrees 228 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.799 with the arrest, so it'll play out in court. But 229 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.879 to help our police officers, the law should be more definitive. 230 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.320 Now without seeing the field sobriety, I'm not to go 231 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.000 any further with that piece of it. But this is 232 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.399 a piece I did want to bring up on the 233 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:11.159 legal side. But again we need to look into we 234 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.360 the public, we pay it. An example was given to me, 235 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.799 if you said Uber Holme, Rust Smith, and he did, 236 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.960 and you parked the car on the side of the road, 237 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.720 and you're intending for him to come back when eight 238 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.559 hours later, when you would think that he would be 239 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.519 fairly sober able to drive a motor vehicle. But the 240 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.559 person decides to come back that night and get his vehicle, 241 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.600 and he's still intoxicated. Right, So the police officer, my 242 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.639 idea of sending him home, sent him home. But he 243 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.879 comes back and gets the car, he wrecks the car. Guys, 244 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.080 he runs into someone, he injures someone, there's a fatality. 245 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:56.120 What happens is the legal system is set up. The 246 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.600 person was to Russ Smith and the city Now it's 247 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:06.080 our dollars, taxpayers, everyone listening, that's our dollars. The City 248 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.120 of Louisville buys insurance to pay. I'm just gonna be 249 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.519 honest with you. The City of Louisville has been wrong 250 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.480 so much it's had a hard time buying insurance. It's 251 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.360 police officers have let me be correct, we've been wrong 252 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.080 so much it's hard for the City of louis to 253 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.440 buy insurance on itself. Our police officers have been wrong. 254 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.000 That's just a fact. So that does put a double 255 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.799 edged sword to this the police officer. It's not are 256 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.000 you kind of is? It's fair? It is the law 257 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.720 that the police officer and it's his opinion. If he 258 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.360 thinks you're intoxicated, he must arrest you. That's all there 259 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.639 is to it. That he has to do his job. 260 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.000 So the police officer did his job. Russ Smith is 261 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.799 going to have opportunity and his legal counsel to do 262 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.960 their job. We have the best, I think legal system 263 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.480 in the world. Let it play out, we'll find and 264 00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.759 we'll follow it. But I still would like it to 265 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.279 be more definitive if it's not zero point eight. Because 266 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.840 here's why, guys, I'll call it legal. I don't care 267 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.559 what anybody says. You can have a drink, period point blank. 268 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.000 It is legal. So if you can have a drink 269 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.879 and someone stops you, a police officer stops you, and 270 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.639 you blow zero point four, and the results on ones 271 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.159 that say you're drunk and you say you're not, well, guys, 272 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.200 here's the issue that I have, not with Russ Smith, 273 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.960 but with people that we don't know. A young man 274 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:36.360 gets stopped, he gets arrested for DUI, he wins the case. Okay, 275 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.679 what happens is that dui. No matter what, the legal 276 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.360 system will drop it off. It stays online for a 277 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.799 long time. And when employers start to employ people and 278 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.360 start to look they check online. They do. I know 279 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.799 it for a fact. That's all there is to it. 280 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:58.480 My wife is a hiring manager Republic. They check. They 281 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.559 do their job, they try to find out about the 282 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.920 people they're hiring. So when they see these things that 283 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:08.200 are online that have not been taken off, it makes 284 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.640 it very difficult for young people to progress and get 285 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:16.559 jobs because it never leaves and people make determinations from that. 286 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.759 So I just wanted you all to know it is 287 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:24.839 very very tough on young people that get arrested that 288 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.400 are not guilty. It still stays there no matter what. Well, 289 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.720 they're not guilty. It should show us not what it shows. 290 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.400 It shows rest ofvents was locked up for a dui. 291 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.519 They'll have to go research deeper to find out was 292 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.279 he acquitted, what happened? They don't do. That's a lot 293 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.000 of work. Usually people move on. So that's why we 294 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.559 have to be more sensitive with these things. When we're 295 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.599 not definitive telling the law, we need to as the 296 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:58.039 community say what is the limit? Are we going to 297 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.640 say at zero point eight or if a zero point four, 298 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.200 make a decision zero point four you're illegal, zero point 299 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.640 three nine, you're not, period point blank. Forget to feel sobriety. 300 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.960 Let's move on. Then no lawsuits come after that be 301 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:18.039 definitive with the law sing, We're gonna leave it there. 302 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.519 On the rest of it. He goes to trial next week. 303 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:24.160 Of course he's a personal friend of mine. I think 304 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.039 I've been fair at both parties. But again, it is 305 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.599 a two edged sword, and it is very difficult on 306 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:34.000 young people that do get arrest records. It's hard to 307 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.720 get them purged completely from the internet. That's the only 308 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.880 thing about the internet to young people, and I preach 309 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.359 to them all the time it's there forever you must 310 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.559 think through what you do. E Sports Radio seven to 311 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.119 twenty five And when we get back, we'll get back 312 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.559 to sports talk to you in a minute. Welcome back 313 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.759 to the Sports Radio seven thirty two. We ran two breaks. 314 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.200 I'm just trying to get my computer together, but my 315 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.920 headphones in and neither shot, so I'm gonna have to 316 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.079 invest in new headphones. So I'll just have to get 317 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.599 a go go on me account. Everyone knows I'm cheap, 318 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.119 so answering, here's the deal before we move on operating 319 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.440 vehicle not a motor vehicle while under the influence. And 320 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.480 I want people to understand, no peace officer or state 321 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.720 I'm reading the actual law. No peace officer or state 322 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.640 police officer should failed to enforce rigidly this section. Okay, 323 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.680 the only problem I have with the section is that 324 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.039 it's a loop. It does not define if there was 325 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.960 an alcohol concentrate of less than zero point five, it 326 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.279 shall be presumed that the defendant was not under the 327 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.279 influence of alcohol. If there was an alcohol concentrate of 328 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.000 zero point five or greater but less than zero point eight, 329 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.400 such facts are not constitute a presumption. I'm sorry you 330 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.599 went back small, and they're gonna blow it one assumption 331 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.839 that the defendant either was or was not under the 332 00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.960 influence of alcohol. But such factors may be considered together 333 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:05.000 with other competent evidence. So here's the deal, guys all, 334 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.480 I'm saying to the legal system, if we're not gonna 335 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.319 go by the numbers, there's no reason anyone ever blows 336 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.720 into the breathalyzer. I can blow zero point six or 337 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.160 the police officer blue zero point whatever, But it's below 338 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.599 the zero point eight. After you do it, he's always 339 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.799 gonna look at job. I don't like that. So what 340 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.640 it means is you should never blow into the breath 341 00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.440 of lize. That's why I'm saying, we've put the police 342 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.000 officers in a bad position. We've put the public in 343 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.359 a bad position. We need to make our leaders to 344 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.920 be definitive about the law and what they want. Because 345 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.440 right now, if I was telling someone I'm a non drinker, 346 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.880 easy for me, but drinking is legal. Don't blow in 347 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:50.400 the breath A lots if doesn't mean anything. We've seen 348 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.720 that now twice. You can still be presumed guilty. And 349 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.359 they may have been. I'm not saying they worked, the 350 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.240 police officer or Russ Smith. I'm not saying they worked, 351 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:01.960 but I'm saying now and I've read them, I wouldn't 352 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:06.599 brow the breathalyzer. I'd say, so I passed. And I'm 353 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.359 the person that told people follow direction, but with this, 354 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:12.720 i'd have to say I passed. So that's all We're 355 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.720 gonna move on. Anthy And I didn't even have a 356 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.559 chance to tell you, Shannon, but I sent you something 357 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.160 that I want you to take a little time loading 358 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:21.720 we'll get to it. We'll go to something else. We're 359 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.799 not gonna go straight to Pittsburgh because I didn't tell 360 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:25.880 you the loaded Shannon, but go to your email and 361 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.359 load something. I've got something with Aaron Rodgers. We'll talk 362 00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:33.079 about Pittsburgh with Anthony. Let's go to Big Dog coming 363 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.480 to university a little bit. What is your opinion when 364 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:36.759 you heard that? What did you think? 365 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.599 Well, I've heard I've heard different sides. 366 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.720 Obviously, I heard the size obviously Wolves kind of. 367 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:46.920 On the uprise right now, that while Kentucky's kind of 368 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.039 a kind of a sinking ship is what I've heard. 369 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.720 I'm not gonna quot anybody on that, but I heard 370 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.960 things aren't looking too good for Big Blue Nation when 371 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.599 it comes to the football side and Mark steps, so. 372 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.160 A lot of people are kind of getting out there 373 00:21:58.200 --> 00:21:58.799 why they can. 374 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.799 And you know, obviously, I. 375 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:03.480 Think Louisville is a great move for him. 376 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.720 Obviously, I think recruiting wise, you can still get good recruits, 377 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.279 and the competition level to recruit there is not as 378 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.599 steep as recruit against other teams in the SEC. 379 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.640 That's one thing I will see. That's just pros. 380 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:23.920 There's obviously being in the SEC, it's easier to recruit 381 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:28.160 players because of the conference, the notoriety you get, the viewership, 382 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:31.160 you know, the Kali for an average player in the 383 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.759 SEC gets more praise than a good player in the ACC. 384 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:36.400 And that is true right now. 385 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.880 Just because the conference levels are so much different when 386 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.359 it comes to steel wise. But at the same time, 387 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:42.880 we've seen. 388 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.880 Players that have flourished and done well in the ACC 389 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.279 throughout different times of different areas, and the AEC can't 390 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.119 get back to that position. It also just needs the 391 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.640 right coaches to put it in that position. Even recruiters. 392 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.480 We have the Deshaun Wahingtons, Jamesinston, Lamar Jackson's, Trevor Lawrence 393 00:22:58.599 --> 00:22:59.799 Is it can get back to there. 394 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.880 It's had all star quarterbacks, just has Pro Bowl quarterbacks 395 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.640 come out of there within the last seven to eight years. 396 00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.839 I think more Pro. 397 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:08.039 Bowl quarterbacks than the SEC. 398 00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:13.799 Maybe that's a good question. You got a Super Bowl 399 00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:15.920 champion and hurt last year. I gotta give I gotta 400 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:17.640 give every boy his a dude, because no one thought 401 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.039
