Speaker 4: Let's do it. Let's do it. The Magic went boating
Speaker 4: last night. Okay, they went boating, and the Atlanta Hawks
Speaker 4: came into town while the Magic were boating and play
Speaker 4: basketball and beat the Magic one twelve to one oh six.
Speaker 3: At Kia Center.
Speaker 4: Trey Young made three straight shots late in the game
Speaker 4: that gave the Hawks control of the game. Late the
Speaker 4: Franz A Franz Wagner and Palo Bancero they did their part.
Speaker 4: They both had over thirty points. The Franz matched his
Speaker 4: season high with thirty seven points, Palo had thirty one.
Speaker 3: However, they were the only.
Speaker 4: Two Magic players to finish in double figures, and the
Speaker 4: Magic continue to fade down the standings. They are now
Speaker 4: below the Hawks in ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 4: So they're looking at the play in it now.
Speaker 1: Hey, I told Lyncher, here's how here's how we're playing
Speaker 1: at us Magic people. You have the break coming up.
Speaker 1: After the break, you're gonna have sugs come in. And

Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Luka Doncics makes his debut with Lebron last night. Luca
Speaker 4: scored fourteen points in twenty four minutes the Lakers route
Speaker 4: the hapless Utah Jazz one thirty two to one thirteen.
Speaker 4: Before the game, Lebron's in the pregame huddle telling Luca
Speaker 4: be your fing self, don't fit in, fit the f
Speaker 4: out whatever that means, fit the f out, But anyway,
Speaker 4: Luca wins. Meanwhile in Dallas, oh boy, yeah. Meanwhile in Dallas,
Speaker 4: the emotions are still raw. Multiple fans were ejected in
Speaker 4: the second half of the as the MAVs lost to
Speaker 4: the Sacramento Kings one nine one twenty eight. Of course,
Speaker 4: they traded Luka Doncics got Anthony Davis in return. Anthony
Speaker 4: Davis gets hurt his first game back with Dallas, and
Speaker 4: it's ugly. They had protests the other night before the game,
Speaker 4: fans getting booted last night, Mark Cuban getting into a
Speaker 4: profane shouting match with fans last night.
Speaker 2: Well, now, didn't Cuban trade the controlling interest or sell
Speaker 2: the controlling interest.
Speaker 4: He's only he's only a minority owner now, so you
Speaker 4: gotta blame the new guy man, you know right, Well,
Speaker 4: they did blame the new guy. He was sitting in
Speaker 4: his seat last night and he got booed heartily by
Speaker 4: the fan base. The general manager, Nico Harrison, he's reportedly
Speaker 4: been getting death threats. Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be pissed, but death threats are you know,
Speaker 1: like if if if all of a sudden, Magic just
Speaker 1: got rid of Pallo would be like what what?
Speaker 4: Yeah? What are we doing here? Protests, death threats, fans
Speaker 4: getting ejected from the arena. Mark Cuban and Profane showed
Speaker 4: shouting matches with fans. People who take sports this seriously
Speaker 4: should find another hobby, like I don't know, bird watching
Speaker 4: or stamp collecting or something, right, but.
Speaker 3: We all love sports. We all love sports, but it
Speaker 3: is just sports, all right?
Speaker 2: What would you two do if one day, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, I just told you my new big interest
Speaker 2: is stamp collecting. That I really just and did I
Speaker 2: stopped participating in this segment and talking about sports in general,
Speaker 2: and you guys say, hey, Lynch, what's up with you?
Speaker 1: Would you just start a stamp segment? Is that where
Speaker 1: you're getting at?
Speaker 2: Here's a forever stamp.
Speaker 4: The preliminary Super Bowl ratings are in. Fox released some
Speaker 4: ratings yesterday. They say the Super Bowl wreck it was
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl record average audience of one hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty six million viewers. It was televised obviously on Fire Fox, Fox, Debortes, Telemundo.
Speaker 3: What's that streaming site is to be?
Speaker 4: To be? So Fox's projections also include the Nielsen's early
Speaker 4: numbers last year one hundred and twenty three point seven
Speaker 4: million watch That was the record until this year. Of course,
Speaker 4: they do it differently now. That's the reason that you're
Speaker 4: seeing big numbers now because they're measuring, what is it,
Speaker 4: out of out.
Speaker 3: Of home watching? Now, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: The Nielsen is now measuring out of home.
Speaker 4: Viewers for instance, sports bars, Yeah, streaming and all of
Speaker 4: this other stuff. They didn't used to do that back
Speaker 4: in the day.
Speaker 2: Imagine what the numbers would have been if it was
Speaker 2: a good game.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, right, right, take I guess the peak was
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty five point seven million viewers in
Speaker 4: the second quarter and then probably at halftime.
Speaker 5: Everybody, yeah, bailed both parties. I was at the first
Speaker 5: one left right before a halftime. Everybody was leaving at
Speaker 5: the half, and then the next one people were walking
Speaker 5: out as I walked in.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So college basketball, the Gators move up the number three
Speaker 4: in the latest AP poll. They beat number one ranked Auburn.
Speaker 4: Over the weekend, Auburn remained number one SEC basketball. The
Speaker 4: top three teams in the poll all from the SEC. Auburn, Alabama, Florida,
Speaker 4: Tennessee's number five, five of the top ten or in
Speaker 4: the SEC. It's unbelievable what a basketball league it's become.
Speaker 2: You know that. Even that said, though, you know, with
Speaker 2: March Madness coming up, that tournament is so unpredictable, it
Speaker 2: could turn out the No. SEC team in so making
Speaker 2: it all the way through, Yeah, could be.
Speaker 4: Let there's a little controversy at the Daytona five hundred
Speaker 4: this week. I guess they're giving a free pass into
Speaker 4: the race to Helio Castronevez, the you know, the open
Speaker 4: wheel racer from Brazil.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Some of the NASCAR drivers not happy about that lunch,
Speaker 4: So why why is he getting a free pass based
Speaker 4: on this quote unquote international rule they have now where
Speaker 4: they're inviting top international racers to one one world class
Speaker 4: driver is designated and they're gonna give him an exemption
Speaker 4: to get into the race. Meanwhile, guys like Jimmy Johnson,
Speaker 4: is he not a world class driver?
Speaker 2: Well, I think they're just trying to draw new eyeballs
Speaker 2: to uh to stock car racing. That's that's what I think.
Speaker 2: And well, you might one might say, what are you
Speaker 2: worried about? Maybe he's gonna win. I never know.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying some of the Denny Hanlin, some of
Speaker 4: these guys aren't happy.
Speaker 2: Well, they can put him in the wall if you
Speaker 2: know they really are that pissed off. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: not that I'm encouraging that things happen on the track
Speaker 2: in the.
