Speaker 2: That's right. Let's get it started.
Speaker 1: Welcome in to a Tuesday at Ish Coffee and Company,
Speaker 1: fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety A beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful Tuesday. It is, and I'll admit it, I'm an
Speaker 1: open book. I don't think this is going to be
Speaker 1: like offensive to anybody, Like if you enjoy this show
Speaker 1: and listen, first of all, thank you very much, really
Speaker 1: appreciate that. But you know, I'll just say it, sometimes
Speaker 1: I really miss Morning Drive. I did that here at
Speaker 1: seven ninety four, I guess a few years. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's crazy to think I've done this over nine years
Speaker 1: now and I've had all three different day parts midday's, mornings,
Speaker 1: and now afternoons, and there's a lot of benefits about
Speaker 1: the morning or about the afternoons, which I've been now,
Speaker 1: I guess in this spot for over two years now.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep up with how long I've been
Speaker 1: doing anything, or what day it is, what month it is,
Speaker 1: what year it is. But the reason I really miss
Speaker 1: the mornings today is because I could be outside enjoying
Speaker 1: what is an absolutely beautiful day. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: quite literally per fixed outside. I'm not sure what I
Speaker 1: would be doing. I'd probably be bored, but I would
Speaker 1: just you know, just just knowing that I could be
Speaker 1: out enjoying some beautiful sunshine here on a on a Tuesday.
Speaker 1: But you know what, do what he calls. It's time
Speaker 1: to you know, get the show started and we'll have
Speaker 1: some fun. If you're out enjoying the weather, I'll I'll
Speaker 1: live through you.
Speaker 2: But we are.
Speaker 1: We've got a little bit of a different set up
Speaker 1: here on a Tuesday afternoon because Austin he is not
Speaker 1: with us today. He is out helping set up and
Speaker 1: get get you ready for our big night over at
Speaker 1: Mike Lennox. So the Derby betting preview night that is tonight.
Speaker 1: We do it every year and it'll be at Mike
Speaker 1: Lennox as Jody Dimmling and the crew. They'll be taking
Speaker 1: a look at this year's Derby field, which it is
Speaker 1: kind of crazy how it snuck up on us. I
Speaker 1: refuse to believe that Derby is sneaky gump on us
Speaker 1: because for me, at least, it has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with not having thunder over Louisville. I mean, I get
Speaker 1: that that's been mentioned by a lot of folks, and
Speaker 1: I suppose if that's what's thrown you off to where
Speaker 1: you kind of thinking, wait a second Derby week is
Speaker 1: next week? Make total since But I've never been someone
Speaker 1: that really pays a whole lot of attention to thunder.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what it is, but it is
Speaker 1: crazy that we're almost here, but it is exciting. So again,
Speaker 1: if you have not made plans tonight for dinner and
Speaker 1: you're just now finding out about it, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you've been doing, because we've been promoting it like crazy.
Speaker 1: But again, it's ther Derby Betting preview tonight over at
Speaker 1: newsradioight forty whas is going to be at Mike Lennox
Speaker 1: and should be a good time. So without Austin, we've
Speaker 1: got Big Tom Carl Blenton producing this afternoon and we'll
Speaker 1: take you up till five thirty. Had a little bit
Speaker 1: early today because we have a louisvill Bats game coming
Speaker 1: your way, so two and a half hours and a
Speaker 1: lot to get into. Again, if you want to join
Speaker 1: us on the show, we will open up the phone
Speaker 1: notts coming up here shortly. We'll let you know how
Speaker 1: you can text in on the Ellen and Federal credit
Speaker 1: Union text line. So again, we'll have some fun today
Speaker 1: and I will start with something I rarely ever start with.
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm not sure I ever have maybe right
Speaker 1: after like the NBA Finals, But let's start with the
Speaker 1: NBA really quickly, and trust me, there's so much to
Speaker 1: get into. We've got the portal closing at midnight tonight
Speaker 1: and a load of other things we can get into today.
Speaker 1: But I for a while, anytime the NBA comes up,
Speaker 1: I just get to bitching because I used to really
Speaker 1: like the NBA, and now I just I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't force myself typically to watch it because it's just
Speaker 1: not competitive. You know, I walked into my mother's house
Speaker 1: on Easter and you know, full day of NBA action
Speaker 1: going on, and the game was ending. I'm not even
Speaker 1: sure who it was, but the team lost about fifty
Speaker 1: one points, and that just really made me feel like,
Speaker 1: you know what, there's the proof. I mean, the NBA
Speaker 1: has not been competitive in a long long time, and
Speaker 1: last I checked, that's a big factor. And you know,
Speaker 1: having a good product, who would want to tune in
Speaker 1: and watch a game where somebody loses about fifty plus points?
Speaker 1: I mean that that to me is like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what Adam Silver can do
Speaker 1: about that in the moment in real time, but like that,
Speaker 1: that's terrible. So again I've bemoaned about what the NBA
Speaker 1: has issues with and how unfortunately there's really no way
Speaker 1: for them to make the adjustments and changes needed to
Speaker 1: make it more competitive because that would lead to just
Speaker 1: less money, which last I check, nobody's gonna sign up
Speaker 1: to make less money.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: They have way too many games, their series are way
Speaker 1: too long. They put way too many teams in to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So again, all I do here lately when
Speaker 1: it comes to talking about the NBA is complain. But
Speaker 1: I will give the NBA some props last night because
Speaker 1: we actually ended up having two really really good NBA
Speaker 1: playoff games. You had an upset with the Pistons tying
Speaker 1: it up at one apiece now against the Knicks, big
Speaker 1: win for Detroit in the Garden, and I did not realize. Again,
Speaker 1: I tell you guys all the time when it comes
Speaker 1: to the NBA, used to be into it, and I
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, just not something I keep
Speaker 1: up with at all really anymore. And the Pistons actually
Speaker 1: being a pretty good team. Is a real reminder for
Speaker 1: me that I've not been really tuned in because, I mean,
Speaker 1: the last I check, the Pistons were on like some
Speaker 1: kind of a crazy multi year like they were one
Speaker 1: of the worst. They were maybe the worst team in
Speaker 1: the NBA for like multiple years running. And now they're
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They've got it tied up at one apiece.
Speaker 1: And last night with the win, they broke their they
Speaker 1: broke their drought. I think they'd gone the I think
Speaker 1: it was a record. They'd gone longer than anybody had
Speaker 1: ever gone in the NBA without winning a playoff game.
Speaker 1: I think the last time they won one was in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. So they snapped that last night.
Speaker 1: And overall, it was just a good finish. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was competitive. You had a near I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think any of these guys in the NBA, well
Speaker 1: not maybe I shouldn't say I shouldn't say any of them,
Speaker 1: but most of them don't really want to fight. You know,
Speaker 1: they do the little I wouldn't even call it a melee,
Speaker 1: but you know, you get a little scuffle, you get
Speaker 1: tangled up, and you get you give the indication in
Speaker 1: one way or another that you want to fight and
Speaker 1: you will fight, but we all know you're not going
Speaker 1: to fight, and it's just not you know, that's just
Speaker 1: that's just how it is. But what that did tell
Speaker 1: me was that like they were, it was competitive, they
Speaker 1: were into it. It was a good back and forth.
Speaker 1: The Pistons had a good lead and the Knicks came back.
Speaker 1: I think they might have even taken a lead briefly
Speaker 1: at the end. I know they tied it up, but
Speaker 1: the Pistons made enough plays. Kate Cunningham, I mean, he
Speaker 1: took a while for them to be competent as an organization,
Speaker 1: but he is their franchise player. And you know, after
Speaker 1: just watching last night, I mean I'd still say the
Speaker 1: Knicks are probably in good shape to win the series.
Speaker 1: But just in last night watching those two teams play
Speaker 1: from almost start to finish, I mean, the Pistons looks
Speaker 1: as good as the Knicks.
Speaker 2: They could win it.
Speaker 1: Maybe, And honestly, I mean, I think Kate Cunningham's best
Speaker 1: player in that series. And then a really good finish
Speaker 1: between the Clippers and the Nuggets. I was up late
Speaker 1: for that one. Didn't intend on staying up and watching it,
Speaker 1: but it was super competitive all the way throughout and
Speaker 1: then Kawhi Leonard reminded us, reminded us that you know,
Speaker 1: he's an NBA legend. As I say that, I kind
Speaker 1: of feel like that's an exaggeration, but I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: this guy has won NBA. I mean, he's won the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals with two different franchises and has a Most
Speaker 1: Outstanding Player of the Finals one in Toronto, which is
Speaker 1: a very forgettable run that Kawhi had in Canada, and
Speaker 1: then also whenever he won one of the many titles
Speaker 1: that he had in San Antonio, and I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like he's just been hurt kind of you know,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say irrelevant. But the Clippers, you know, they've
Speaker 1: had they have they have a lot of good pieces.
Speaker 2: And they have for a while.
Speaker 1: But ever since the run ended with like Chris Paul
Speaker 1: Reddick Doc Rivers coaching them, I felt like there was
Speaker 1: another Oh Blake Griffin like that the Clippers actually had
Speaker 1: I think, some notoriety and some momentum like they never
Speaker 1: had before. And now you know, they're decent, clearly, but
Speaker 1: they just don't seem to really, you know, get as
Speaker 1: much attention. But Kawhi was phenomenal last night, thirty nine points.
Speaker 1: Clippers also get the upset, tying it at one game apiece,
Speaker 1: and also another situation where you had I think it
Speaker 1: was when they go.
Speaker 2: To the monitor and review it. They call it hostile acts.
Speaker 1: So again, I don't think anybody's really going to fight,
Speaker 1: but if they're at least getting chesty like that and
Speaker 1: there's some high tension, that speaks to the game being competitive.
Speaker 1: So last night, I mean, if we were to, if
Speaker 1: we were to again, the NBA is going to do
Speaker 1: just fine without me. You know, I know I can
Speaker 1: play about it all the time, and it's really because
Speaker 1: I wish I liked it. I wish I could get
Speaker 1: into it. I used to love the NBA. So it's
Speaker 1: not like they need to make some of these adjustments
Speaker 1: or you know they're going to fail. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it's an issue, but you know, I'm aware. I
Speaker 1: could never watch the NBA for a second the rest
Speaker 1: of my life. And the NBA is gonna be just fine.
Speaker 1: The association will survive without me. But if last night's games,
Speaker 1: if that was more of what you'd see on a
Speaker 1: nightly basis, especially in the playoffs, hell yeah, I'd be
Speaker 1: all in. I just you know, I'm going to look
Speaker 1: at last night as a real outlier, and we've got
Speaker 1: some action tonight. In fact, we've got three games, and
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if two, maybe all three are
Speaker 1: big blowouts, because that's just what you get. I mean,
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs is maybe the biggest
Speaker 1: waste of time in professional sports outside of like all
Speaker 1: Star games, because those are just not necessary. You could
Speaker 1: take those away and nobody would care or notice. I
Speaker 1: mean that's just the truth. But like these are you know,
Speaker 1: this is a postseason in the NBA, Like if you
Speaker 1: got rid of the first round, meaning like teams, you know,
Speaker 1: you trimmed it and instead of you know, they're being
Speaker 1: eight teams that get in all seven game series in
Speaker 1: both conferences, Like I mean, it would be it would
Speaker 1: be better. But anyways, as much as I complain about
Speaker 1: the NBA, I will admit last night it was a
Speaker 1: good night. And I'm hopeful that that becomes like more consistent,
Speaker 1: but I.
Speaker 2: Highly doubt it. I really do.
Speaker 1: All right, take us with you wherever you go. Make
Speaker 1: sure if you have not downloaded the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been here as an iHeart employee
Speaker 1: for I mean, I have been here for almost ten years,
Speaker 1: and I feel like this is maybe the first time
Speaker 1: ever I've ever like mentioned Hey, just so you know,
Speaker 1: if you listen to us in your vehicle or on
Speaker 1: like an old fashion I say old fashion, I mean
Speaker 1: any radio like that you plug in and it's got
Speaker 1: like a dial, I feel like that's old fashion. So
Speaker 1: I don't I haven't thought about that in a long time.
Speaker 1: But somebody who's like got an actual radio, like, can
Speaker 1: you buy those now? I mean, I'm sure you can
Speaker 1: if you look, if you look, But I just assume
Speaker 1: anybody who listens to us, they're in their vehicle or
Speaker 1: they're listening on the iHeart Radio app. But maybe if
Speaker 1: you're somebody that you know, you just catch us for
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty minutes on your commute in the afternoon. Maybe
Speaker 1: you don't have the app, Well, I'm telling you should
Speaker 1: get it because with it, you can listen to us
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world as long as you have some
Speaker 1: type of connectivity. So take us with you wherever you go.
Speaker 1: You can also listen online at seven ninety Louisville dot com.
Speaker 1: I thought to myself the other day, and I think
Speaker 1: I might have mentioned it that I'm not sure how
Speaker 1: many people still, you know, still stream the show on
Speaker 1: like a desktop, right and like go to seven ninety
Speaker 1: Louis dot com slash listen and you can listen live.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are some people, but you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of people reminded me as soon as I mentioned
Speaker 1: that that they do it at work because they use
Speaker 1: they eat up all their data. They don't they don't
Speaker 1: get Wi Fi at work, so they eat up all
Speaker 1: their data if they stream. So therefore they just use
Speaker 1: the company Internet and it you know works mine. So
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways you can listen to us,
Speaker 1: and we hope you do exactly that. All right, So
Speaker 1: with today being the last day of the portal and
Speaker 1: it was what I assumed meaning night, I'm sorry, tonight
Speaker 1: at midnight is the deadline, and with nothing at all
Speaker 1: from Cason Pryor, that's gotta be good news, right. He
Speaker 1: has not mentioned anything. I mean, he's having some fun
Speaker 1: with it on social media. But I will say, and
Speaker 1: there was somebody who texted about this yesterday that I
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to get into, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: think he's toying with us. I think he's just having fun, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's trying to make us panic in
Speaker 1: fear that he might leave. I think he just realizes
Speaker 1: the situation and doesn't have a plan. I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: he does. Maybe he waits till midnight tonight and then
Speaker 1: puts out like some kind of a graphic, or maybe
Speaker 1: they've produced a social media cinematic video that will announce
Speaker 1: he's coming back. But regardless if there's any kind of
Speaker 1: an announcement, any type of content they put together, I mean,
Speaker 1: as of now, he's not in the portal, so he's
Speaker 1: coming back, right, I mean, I don't see a scenario
Speaker 1: where because you got to keep in mind he could
Speaker 1: he could enter the port like the school has to
Speaker 1: put you in the portal. So unless something's changed, this
Speaker 1: was the case as of last year. Maybe they've made
Speaker 1: some adjustments, but you have to go through your compliance
Speaker 1: folks at you at your school to let them know. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know if you have to let
Speaker 1: them know, but you basically submit to them and then
Speaker 1: they put you in the portal.
Speaker 2: So you know, if you wait till like after this
Speaker 2: is what gets tricky. If you wait till.
Speaker 1: Like after business hours today, Like if you submit your
Speaker 1: and you can do anything online this day and age,
Speaker 1: you can do anything on your phone, so like maybe
Speaker 1: it would be able to be done. But like if
Speaker 1: you submitted that you wanted to into the portal at
Speaker 1: five point forty five today, but the compliance folks clocked
Speaker 1: out at five o'clock and went home and they never
Speaker 1: saw it, Like, are you actually going to make it
Speaker 1: in the portal in time?
Speaker 2: I mean, I doubt that would end up happening.
Speaker 1: But what I'm trying to get at is that there's
Speaker 1: no scenario at this point that I could see where
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be back. Given the fact that he hasn't
Speaker 1: said anything. You still see him working out. He's here,
Speaker 1: I mean he's there's some video footage of him on
Speaker 1: social media working out with the strengthen conditioning coach. So
Speaker 1: maybe he'll be the guy that's like, yeah, I never
Speaker 1: hit the portal, so I didn't owe you guys anything
Speaker 1: as far as an explanation, I never planned on leaving
Speaker 1: and we're running it back. So again, regardless of anything
Speaker 1: that is said, as long as he's back, that's good
Speaker 1: news for Louisville. And I anticipate that that's that's the case,
Speaker 1: although he does have a chance to do like the
Speaker 1: I mean the worst thing ever, right, Like it would
Speaker 1: be real, it would feel personal if, in fact, like
Speaker 1: at the last minute, we find out that he did
Speaker 1: in fact, like let somebody know, hey, put me in
Speaker 1: the portal. I'm gonna at least open things up and
Speaker 1: see what kind of market there is for me right
Speaker 1: now coming off this injury, which, to be honest, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be I mean, I shouldn't say that that I'm
Speaker 1: surprised that he didn't do that, or that I'm surprised
Speaker 1: that Javon Hadley didn't do that, because this is all
Speaker 1: still relatively new to where you just don't know. Like
Speaker 1: if this had been if we were twenty years into
Speaker 1: this new world and good players that you don't anticipate
Speaker 1: to leave, they all just hit the portal to see
Speaker 1: what kind of market they had for themselves, then it
Speaker 1: may just become a norm. But like, if they did
Speaker 1: do that, I mean, if you do it the last minute,
Speaker 1: it almost feels like it's personal. I mean, right, you
Speaker 1: have every right to do it, but I mean I
Speaker 1: almost feel like you knew all along but you wanted
Speaker 1: to tease us or something like that.
Speaker 2: So I doubt that happens.
Speaker 1: But like, if in fact players do that, they meet again,
Speaker 1: Like we shouldn't be shocked now again, totally different things.
Speaker 1: Had he done it a few weeks ago or even
Speaker 1: a week ago, different story. But to do it today
Speaker 1: would be would feel like something fell apart, or that
Speaker 1: he just had you know, he had cold feet or
Speaker 1: something like that. So we'll see, and I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: a prediction, and maybe it's already happened, because we're fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes in and I've yet to check Twitter to see
Speaker 1: if there's been any you know, real big breaking news
Speaker 1: types of stuff, you know, when it comes to big
Speaker 1: names hitting the portal. But I have a feeling by
Speaker 1: the time we get to five point thirty, there'll be
Speaker 1: at least one college basketball player that hits the portal
Speaker 1: that that will be a big name that everybody's thinking, Okay, wow,
Speaker 1: this this last minute addition to the portal, somebody's going
Speaker 1: to get a really good player. That could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Trust me, I'm wrong often. I've probably been wrong more
Speaker 1: than once in the first sixteen minutes of this show today.
Speaker 1: But I just have a feeling there's going to be
Speaker 1: some kind of big name that pops that it'll be,
Speaker 1: you know, big news for college basketball.
Speaker 2: But we shall see.
Speaker 1: I'll check in it by thirty when we're wrapping it
Speaker 1: up today and see if you know, my prediction was
Speaker 1: was correct or not? All Right, some other things we'll
Speaker 1: get into through throughout the afternoon. Here the news that
Speaker 1: they're considering. When I say they, I mean the College
Speaker 1: Football Playoff Committee or I guess you know, and actually
Speaker 1: it's not the committee because the committee they're the ones
Speaker 1: right who you know, who decide who gets in and
Speaker 1: that changes. But you know, those who are part of
Speaker 1: this meeting that have influence on the changes to the
Speaker 1: format of the college football playoff. They're having a spring
Speaker 1: meeting in Dallas, and to hear that there are or
Speaker 1: there are folks advocating that they should include TV ratings
Speaker 1: as criteria to make the college football playoff. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be dramatic, but that to me is like
Speaker 1: the first thing I've heard when it comes to all
Speaker 1: these changes in college athletics that actually makes me sad
Speaker 1: to realize that this really would I mean that would
Speaker 1: that would change everything about we already know that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff matters when it comes to conference affiliation.
Speaker 2: And you know, if you want to.
Speaker 1: Get invited to a new league and you know, move
Speaker 1: move up the food chain in college football, you better
Speaker 1: be highly tell you better get a lot of numbers
Speaker 1: when it comes to people who watch you on TV.
Speaker 1: So it's not like it's it's it's new and I'm
Speaker 1: you know, surprised to hear that having a lot of
Speaker 1: viewers in college football is something that people pay attention to.
Speaker 1: But to have that as a as a as a
Speaker 1: data point essentially when you review resumes to see who
Speaker 1: gets in the college football Playoff, that's the that mean.
Speaker 1: I've already been feeling like this was the case anyway,
Speaker 1: but that's proof that it's a popularity contest and not
Speaker 1: about what you do. I mean, that was I mean,
Speaker 1: I kept thinking to myself during the lead up to
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff last year, right the first year,
Speaker 1: we're twelve teams. I mean, you had all these sec
Speaker 1: hawks yelling about strength to schedule, and you know, you
Speaker 1: can't tell me that we're not this and that, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just thinking, okay, well, but you didn't
Speaker 1: you didn't perform, like you didn't do what was needed
Speaker 1: to get in and you had like, you know, clear
Speaker 1: losses that made it obvious that you don't belong. And
Speaker 1: they won't say it, but it's like they're they're full
Speaker 1: on advocating that we don't even need to have a
Speaker 1: season or have games because it's about you know, all
Speaker 1: the hype and your popularity and all the momentum and
Speaker 1: the buzz that you get, right, I mean that, So
Speaker 1: I almost didn't believe this was real. But Heather Dinisch
Speaker 1: of at ESPN, she's going to be there covering the
Speaker 1: college football playoff meeting in the spring meeting that they're having,
Speaker 1: and we'll I mean, I don't know how anybody, I mean,
Speaker 1: I could get that. You like, if you're something, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of a program that would be more
Speaker 1: attractive than they typically are because of viewership, right, Like
Speaker 1: a program that's pretty good, but usually you know, they're
Speaker 1: underwhelming compared to what the expectations are, but if viewership
Speaker 1: was a factor, that might put them over the top.
Speaker 1: Even if you're one of those programs and you're your
Speaker 1: coach is a part of these meetings, or maybe your
Speaker 1: athletic director is I mean, you'd have to be a
Speaker 1: fool to advocate. Yeah, we think we should get in.
Speaker 1: We might lose games that you know, would make it
Speaker 1: clear that we're not one of the twelve best teams,
Speaker 1: but we have a lot of people that watch us,
Speaker 1: so put us in. I mean, it might as well
Speaker 1: be choreographed professional wrestling if that's what we're doing here. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just if you in fact include TV
Speaker 1: ratings and viewership as a factor to get into the
Speaker 1: college football playoff to you know, then compete for a
Speaker 1: national championship. This is not even sports anymore. It's about popularity,
Speaker 1: not about winning. It's crazy and I still can't believe
Speaker 1: that it's real, if I'm being honest with you. Also,
Speaker 1: with the NFL Draft coming up, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to say the NBA. With the NFL Draft coming up
Speaker 1: here in a couple of days, I will continue to
Speaker 1: look at what's out there when it comes to just
Speaker 1: you know, names that are starting to be talked about
Speaker 1: as guys that may drop or guys that.
Speaker 2: May be you know, moving up the board.
Speaker 1: And there's always guys in college that you know are
Speaker 1: really good in college, but you just don't really know
Speaker 1: how well they would translate to the NFL, but you
Speaker 1: also feel good about them being drafted.
Speaker 2: It just won't be early.
Speaker 1: I feel like every year there's at least a couple
Speaker 1: of those guys that end up actually having long, successful
Speaker 1: NFL careers, and it's just a reminder that sometimes they
Speaker 1: overthink the measurables and how it translates. Like go watch
Speaker 1: the tap and again, it's a different level playing in
Speaker 1: college than playing in the NFL. But there are so
Speaker 1: many franchises out there that have benefited by taking a
Speaker 1: guy that everybody else said, yeah, you know, I just
Speaker 1: he was good in college but not the NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: some that's true. Sometimes you do think somebody's going to
Speaker 1: translate and it doesn't. But there's also way more examples,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, of guys that are drafted based solely
Speaker 1: off of potential, hype measurables and not off of performance
Speaker 1: or results. My quarterback for my cults, Anthony Richardson, will
Speaker 1: go down in my opinion as the ultimate.
Speaker 2: Example of that. But you know, and I'm sorry I've talked.
Speaker 1: I feel like the last couple of days I've I've
Speaker 1: done a lot of you know, gone out of my
Speaker 1: way to complain about my colts, but I can't help myself.
Speaker 1: It's draft, you know, it's it's draft week, and I just,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sad that we're not in the sweepstakes
Speaker 1: here for a good quarterback who knows maybe Shuck falls late,
Speaker 1: and they decide, Okay, we'll give Anthony Richardson one more year,
Speaker 1: but if not him, we're going to take a chance
Speaker 1: on this guy. I would love for that, but I
Speaker 1: doubt we see it happens. So again, we're loaded today.
Speaker 2: Stick with us.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to get into and if you
Speaker 1: want to join us on the show, you can. Phone
Speaker 1: lines are now open five oh two five seven one
Speaker 1: seventy nine hundred and that's to give us a call,
Speaker 1: and then you can text in on the ln N
Speaker 1: Federal Credit Union text line five O two four three
Speaker 1: eight nine three.
Speaker 2: It's coffee and company.
Speaker 1: Feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven to
Speaker 1: ninety so. In Heather Dinisch's report that came out yesterday
Speaker 1: at ESPN, this is in regards to what we talked
Speaker 1: about earlier with the college football playoff spring meetings going
Speaker 1: on in Dallas and they're being some things thrown out
Speaker 1: there as far as I guess factors in determining who
Speaker 1: does and doesn't belong in the twelve team playoff, I
Speaker 1: mean TV ratings.
Speaker 2: It's insane. But here is exactly what it says in
Speaker 2: the article.
Speaker 1: It goes, well, I'm not going to read the entire thing,
Speaker 1: but I just want to say the current twelve team
Speaker 1: model and another fourteen team model that includes guaranteed spots
Speaker 1: for the Big Ten, the SEC, the ACC, and the
Speaker 1: Big twelve in the group of five and one at
Speaker 1: large have gained the most publicity, but multiple sources have
Speaker 1: indicated that some commissioners would like the College Football Playoff
Speaker 1: to present other options this week. It's also possible other
Speaker 1: league leaders come to the table with ideas, as there
Speaker 1: is both private and public resistance to the idea of
Speaker 1: leagues having guaranteed spots to the postseason before the games
Speaker 1: are played. I mean that last sentence in that excerpt is,
Speaker 1: I mean guaranteed spots before the games are played. Nobody
Speaker 1: even thinks about that or says that out loud. What
Speaker 1: if a conference just fell apart? I mean, I'll give
Speaker 1: you an example, and you know the ACC, I want
Speaker 1: the ACC to be really good because obviously that's the
Speaker 1: league that Louisville's in, and the better your conferences, the
Speaker 1: better it is for you in every aspect. But I've
Speaker 1: also been pretty transparent. The ACC has been bad, and
Speaker 1: now the football side of things was actually I think
Speaker 1: it is getting better.
Speaker 2: I think last year you're still clearly.
Speaker 1: Behind the SEC in a big way and the Big
Speaker 1: Ten as well, But I actually think last year was
Speaker 1: a step in the right direction for the ACC. If
Speaker 1: I'm being honest with you, maybe it's not much, but still,
Speaker 1: but in basketball, obviously the league fell off a cliff.
Speaker 1: So let's just say those leagues, well the ACC in
Speaker 1: both basketball and football, Instead of you know, getting better,
Speaker 1: they get even worse. Would you want to have guaranteed
Speaker 1: slots for a you know, for a league that like
Speaker 1: the it may be terrible? And again I don't see
Speaker 1: that happening, right. The SEC and the Big Ten aren't
Speaker 1: going anywhere, and I think realistically speaking, the ACC, I mean,
Speaker 1: it can't get much worse, right, But just again, think
Speaker 1: about it, like guaranteeing spots before any games are played,
Speaker 1: meaning that like there, I don't even know how it
Speaker 1: would happen because the vast majority of your games that
Speaker 1: you play are against your own conference, so you know
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Like, but what if the winner of
Speaker 1: the and again this is a hypothetical that really isn't realistic,
Speaker 1: but like it could happen.
Speaker 2: I mean it won't.
Speaker 1: I think you could say something's not realistic, but know that,
Speaker 1: like it's a possibility, Like technically it could happen. Like
Speaker 1: what if the three best teams in the ACC or
Speaker 1: the Big Ten or the Big twelve or the SEC,
Speaker 1: any of these, like any of these leagues, Let's say
Speaker 1: they went they all went to a nine game conference schedule,
Speaker 1: and they lost every game in the non conference like
Speaker 1: they played. Again, walk with me here. You no longer
Speaker 1: can play the FCS teams, You no longer can play
Speaker 1: the G five teams, like you just all play Power five,
Speaker 1: which actually think that would be awesome, but you know,
Speaker 1: not realistic. So let's say, what are those leagues they
Speaker 1: lost every one of their out of conference games, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, in basketball, this wasn't actually what happened,
Speaker 1: but it was close. The SEC and the ACC challenge
Speaker 1: the in basketball it was nearly a route, I mean
Speaker 1: a complete sweep for the SEC. So you know, just
Speaker 1: imagine that in the non conference they did something like
Speaker 1: that in football in the ACC. And I'm only using
Speaker 1: them as an example because honestly, the ACC is the
Speaker 1: worst of those of the of the Big three, I mean,
Speaker 1: the Big in the Big twelve. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's debatable as far as which one, which one is
Speaker 1: actually in third place? Right the Big Twelve of the ACC.
Speaker 1: I think it's the ACC, but maybe I'm biased. But
Speaker 1: let's say the ACC, all of their teams they played
Speaker 1: three non conference games, one against the Big Ten, one
Speaker 1: against the SEC, and one against the Big Twelve. Let's
Speaker 1: say all of them lost every one of those games.
Speaker 1: And yet let's say cleb Center Louisville, they win the league,
Speaker 1: but they didn't beat anybody outside their conference. Are you
Speaker 1: going to guarantee them spots in the college football playoff
Speaker 1: knowing that the only thing they did was beat each other? Again,
Speaker 1: I'm giving you something that's certainly not realistic, But just
Speaker 1: think about it, guaranteeing spots before anybody's played a game.
Speaker 1: And it's not guaranteed to teams, obviously, but it's guaranteed
Speaker 1: to a conference. It doesn't make sense. So here's where
Speaker 1: it gets to the TV ratings being a factor. This
Speaker 1: is again from Heather Dinnage of ESPN. One possibility which
Speaker 1: could be viewed as a compromise is having conferences or
Speaker 1: automatic bids through their play each season, a model in
Speaker 1: which each Power four league can earn guaranteed spots through
Speaker 1: a combination of its team's overall records and maybe even
Speaker 1: TV ratings. According to a source, it says acording to yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so let me back up, I missed a little she
Speaker 1: can I can't read a guess, but the only thing
Speaker 1: that mentions TV ratings is it's a little throw in
Speaker 1: here at the end, and it says according to a source.
Speaker 1: So there's really not a whole lot to it. But
Speaker 1: Heather Genish is clearly pretty plugged in. She's good at
Speaker 1: her job, and she has a good source that's telling
Speaker 1: her that they're considering throwing out TV ratings as a factor.
Speaker 1: And again, if you do that, you're confirming that it's
Speaker 1: a popularity contest. It's all about clicks, viewership, TMZ type
Speaker 1: stuff rather than actually winning. Now again, I realized they
Speaker 1: wouldn't base it off of all, right, yeah, you lost
Speaker 1: every game Colorado and Dion, But man, we love watching
Speaker 1: that car wreck, so you're in. You had more viewership
Speaker 1: than anybody. I mean, they wouldn't just do it that way,
Speaker 1: but just the thought that they would act they would.
Speaker 1: That should never be a deciding factor in any way,
Speaker 1: no matter how many like different tiebreaker scenarios that could
Speaker 1: be there to determine who gets those final spots. Viewership
Speaker 1: popularity should never be even considered anybody even mentioning it
Speaker 1: aloud at these meetings as a clown. You might as
Speaker 1: well make you know.
Speaker 2: And I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't follow wrestling anymore. And Austin's our wrestling guy,
Speaker 1: and he's not here today, But isn't a Triple H?
Speaker 1: Like isn't he running the show now? I don't know?
Speaker 2: If he's in charge of creative a WWE.
Speaker 1: You might as well make Greg Sank the writer for
Speaker 1: college football like Triple H is for WWE who or
Speaker 1: whoever is, because if it's just off of popularity and
Speaker 1: not results, then like, what are we doing to waste
Speaker 1: the time?
Speaker 2: So we'll see?
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing would surprise me anymore, especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to college athletics. But with that said, I mean
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time seeing that that actually
Speaker 1: gets taken. Not only do I have a hard time
Speaker 1: seeing and actually becoming a thing, I have a hard
Speaker 1: time seeing anybody taking it serious. But we'll see, all right,
Speaker 1: it's coffee and company. Feel about Thorton's here on Sports
Speaker 1: Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging out with us. Sorry,
Speaker 1: this happens every now and then. I get to yap
Speaker 1: in so fast and I got I got a belch,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to do it. That'd be very
Speaker 1: unprofessional of me. And if you know one thing about me,
Speaker 1: I'm a pro very professional, no nonsense for me. And
Speaker 1: again I hope you can. You can pick up on sarcasm.
Speaker 1: But if you going to join us on on the
Speaker 1: on the phone lunch, you can five O two five
Speaker 1: seven one seventy nine hundred. You can also text in
Speaker 1: ellenn Federal Credit Union text line five O two four
Speaker 1: three eight ninety seventy three. We'll get to the text
Speaker 1: line in just a moment, but uh, real quick. Another
Speaker 1: plug for Thornton's stopped in this morning. Got the kids
Speaker 1: the fizz Freeze. Of course, I loaded up on four
Speaker 1: more of the Monster Energy drinks. Because you can get
Speaker 1: four of them for seven bucks. A great deal that
Speaker 1: you should be taking advantage of. But another good deal
Speaker 1: they've got going on right now. You can get a
Speaker 1: five dollars meal deal that is two hot dogs and
Speaker 1: a fountain drink thirty two ounces for five bucks. And
Speaker 1: if you're still under the impression that like food at Thornton's,
Speaker 1: you know, gas station convenience stores, and I don't know
Speaker 1: about others, but I know Thornton's they've got high quality
Speaker 1: food that it's not just something they you know, they
Speaker 1: freeze and throw it under a heat lamp. They have
Speaker 1: people whose job is to cook and create high quality food.
Speaker 1: A lot of good options. So again they've got those big,
Speaker 1: delicious hot dogs different and it's not just you know,
Speaker 1: your standard hot dog that you know. They've also got
Speaker 1: the you know, different sausages. Johnsonville broughtz that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: so those also are included. So you can get that's
Speaker 1: a good lunch right there, two of them and at
Speaker 1: thirty two ounces found drink for five bucks. So shout
Speaker 1: out to Thornton's, as you know, we are and always
Speaker 1: will be fueled by Thornton's.
Speaker 2: All right, So this text.
Speaker 1: Came in earlier, and I wanted to read it because
Speaker 1: I agree for the most part, but I will defend
Speaker 1: Kentucky and I guess they're fans on this one. So
Speaker 1: this might shock you. But yesterday I was talking about
Speaker 1: all the pieces that Kentucky has added and who you
Speaker 1: know they're bringing back because with the commitment that they
Speaker 1: got from the Florida transfer Denzel Aberdeen. The report was
Speaker 1: from CBS Matt and Orlander that that they're done, the
Speaker 1: roster is set, and I just kind of thought to myself,
Speaker 1: you know, I get that there's some some good names
Speaker 1: and play good players too, by the way, Like they
Speaker 1: added guys that you know clearly other programs would want.
Speaker 1: So I'm not acting like their team is going to
Speaker 1: be trash, but I've just kind of felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really know if they're any better
Speaker 1: than they were a year ago. Like, yeah, they got
Speaker 1: better in certain areas athletically one, but like there's other
Speaker 1: areas that I feel like are super important to Mark
Speaker 1: Pope's system that they didn't really seem to prioritize, which, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe it works out, but again I'll bring I'll reset
Speaker 1: that to tell you that big shocker. I'm sure a
Speaker 1: lot of Kentucky fans you know, didn't didn't agree and
Speaker 1: let me know about it on the text line. And
Speaker 1: most of them, you know, instead of like, you know,
Speaker 1: telling me what I said that they disagree with, you know,
Speaker 1: they just you know, cope.
Speaker 2: Harder whatever that means.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's kind of like the that's
Speaker 1: like the default response when there's nothing of substance to
Speaker 1: go back and forth with. Like whenever you see Kentucky
Speaker 1: fans doing L's down like at any moment, and you
Speaker 1: and you look as a Louis a fan, like what
Speaker 1: do you mean you doing?
Speaker 2: Like why like what do you like? Why would you?
Speaker 1: Why do you why have you made that your whole personality?
Speaker 1: Why did you pose with the family on Easter Sunday
Speaker 1: and have everybody do L's Down?
Speaker 2: Like why are you? Like? Why are you like this?
Speaker 1: It's not just like being an obsessed sports fan, like
Speaker 1: it was wrong with you. So whenever you say that,
Speaker 1: they don't really have any like anything to say back
Speaker 1: other than oh, your cope harder, Like what do you
Speaker 1: mean cope? Like you think I need a coping mechanism
Speaker 1: because you can't contain yourself from throwing L's down. So
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I don't need to cope, but that
Speaker 1: just that's all they That's all Kentucky fans say whenever you,
Speaker 1: you know, say something and they don't want to go
Speaker 1: and I just look, I don't think I said anything crazy.
Speaker 1: And look, I know a lot of Kentucky fans that
Speaker 1: listen aren't necessarily super uh you know, sensitive. I'm sure
Speaker 1: some of them are, But like I, I think I
Speaker 1: can say things about your team and it be clear
Speaker 1: that I'm a Louis a fan and don't like Kentucky.
Speaker 1: But I'll be honest, right even if I don't, you
Speaker 1: even don't want to like, I don't. I don't like
Speaker 1: having to say that. I think Mark Pope's a really
Speaker 1: likable guy and a really good coach because he's the rival.
Speaker 1: But it's the truth. I mean, I wouldn't I wouldn't
Speaker 1: tell you something I don't believe. So anyways, this was
Speaker 1: a response to that that came in I guess from
Speaker 1: a podcast listener that I wanted to read, and I
Speaker 1: agree with the premise, but I will throw in one
Speaker 1: thing that is I think not being considered enough. So
Speaker 1: if you look at you know, what they added in
Speaker 1: the offseason with the portal, and I guess also considering
Speaker 1: the freshman class. But to me, it just kind of
Speaker 1: seems like they have a good roster, but I don't
Speaker 1: know how great it is. And by the way, this
Speaker 1: is the text. It says Nick Kentucky fan here, and
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. The roster's good.
Speaker 2: But not great.
Speaker 1: Shooting got worse, didn't add elite talent, and we don't
Speaker 1: know the status of JQ. People saying this team is
Speaker 1: loaded have not seen a loaded roster apparently, so I
Speaker 1: don't think you said anything wrong as far as shooting
Speaker 1: is worse, and as far as elite talent, like their
Speaker 1: best player, as far as like NBA upside, it's got
Speaker 1: to be Jaden Quainton's but that's just based off of
Speaker 1: all potential, and you know his status is unknown.
Speaker 2: He tore his ACL in March, So you.
Speaker 1: Know, I look at guys like Jalen Lowe, Diobte, a
Speaker 1: quaintance Aberdeen, Cam Williams, Jealovich, the kid who came from Croatia,
Speaker 1: although he's not a kid. I think he's a grown man.
Speaker 1: And then the other guys that they're bringing back. You've
Speaker 1: got Colin Chandler, Brandon Garrison, Travis Perry, Trentanoah Malachimorno. So
Speaker 1: one name I left out, I did it, you know,
Speaker 1: for emphasis to make a point here. I agree with
Speaker 1: everything you said about Kentucky as far as like, I
Speaker 1: don't think the roster overall, as far as the additions
Speaker 1: is great. I don't think that they have near the
Speaker 1: shooting they had a year ago. And another thing for
Speaker 1: me that I talked about yesterday is Mark Poe. You know,
Speaker 1: you can live without it, but his team's at BYU,
Speaker 1: and even this past year at Kentucky, you could tell
Speaker 1: if he's got bigs who can pass it, that's a
Speaker 1: real weapon. I mean, they were able to really make
Speaker 1: up and I guess close the gap against teams that
Speaker 1: that were more athletic and more physical than them, that
Speaker 1: you would think would have would have a good would
Speaker 1: would have you know, not an easy time. But Kentucky,
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't have a lot of great athletes
Speaker 1: last year, so therefore when they played good defensive teams,
Speaker 1: at times they seemed if they weren't making threes, they
Speaker 1: were kind of easy to defend. I mean, they did
Speaker 1: make They scored a ton of points, but anytime you
Speaker 1: felt like, okay, they could be in a matchup problem here,
Speaker 1: they're big being such great passers. Hitting the back door,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that was a They feel like
Speaker 1: that was a big weapon for their offense. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I agree with everything that was said, but they also
Speaker 1: are bringing back O take Away, which means like they
Speaker 1: don't They didn't they didn't need to go out there,
Speaker 1: and I mean they tried, and it would have been
Speaker 1: big if they did, and they had they had a
Speaker 1: good players, but they have undoubted the there. Their best
Speaker 1: player undoubtedly is O take Away. And that's not because
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of players in the portal that
Speaker 1: aren't any good. That's it's because he's that good. If
Speaker 1: he hit the portal, he would be one of the
Speaker 1: top five players, right. I mean, I guess we won't
Speaker 1: know because he didn't hit the portal. But that makes
Speaker 1: it to where you don't really like you can add
Speaker 1: complimentary pieces, and these guys are better than complimentary pieces.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just kind of feel like the overall
Speaker 1: load of players here is a little bit underwhelming. But again,
Speaker 1: you have an All American caliber player coming back unless
Speaker 1: he decides to stay in the NBA draft, which is unlikely.
Speaker 1: So for louisll let me give you an example. You know,
Speaker 1: this Louisville team, they lost I mean all, I mean
Speaker 1: their best players, all of them, I would say, and
Speaker 1: we're not counting case, and I don't think he would
Speaker 1: have been their best player head he stayed healthy, but
Speaker 1: clearly chucki Hebburn was their best player, and after that
Speaker 1: it's probably Terrence Edwards, and then after that it's probably
Speaker 1: Rain Smith. So like Louisville lost their best players. So
Speaker 1: when you look at their roster, they needed to go
Speaker 1: out there and get a top tier player in the portal,
Speaker 1: one of the best players. And I don't mean a
Speaker 1: guy that is you know, BA like for example. This
Speaker 1: is not a knock on Quaintance because maybe he ends
Speaker 1: up really coming into his own at Kentucky and becomes great,
Speaker 1: but he's viewed as a really big piece. He's highly
Speaker 1: ranked in these rankings out there based off of upside
Speaker 1: and potential. And that's not to say that it's only that,
Speaker 1: but clearly he has yet to really do a whole
Speaker 1: lot as a college player, but he's still viewed to
Speaker 1: be somebody that might be a twenty or not a twenty,
Speaker 1: but a ten year NBA player. So for Louisville, they
Speaker 1: needed to go out and get some of the best
Speaker 1: players in the portal because you know, they're bringing back
Speaker 1: Hadley Prior looks like, and they've got some other good
Speaker 1: pieces coming back, so you know, their best player next year.
Speaker 1: Maybe it ends up being Hadley, maybe it ends up
Speaker 1: being Prior, but you know, I wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 1: it ends up being Ryan Conwell, who was an All
Speaker 1: Big East performer at Xavier. Maybe even Isaac McNeely, who
Speaker 1: was an All acc third team guy I believe, or
Speaker 1: maybe it's Adrian Wooley, who was one of the best
Speaker 1: freshmen in the country last year, although it was at
Speaker 1: Kennesaw State and he's having to jump up a year,
Speaker 1: so you know, Kentucky they did try to go get
Speaker 1: guys like Lindenborg, who tradesfer from UAB to Michigan. Obviously,
Speaker 1: they were in on Donovan Dent early, and you know
Speaker 1: they didn't get some of these guys. I mean, they
Speaker 1: wanted Mackenzie Andbaco couldn't get him, so you know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure they wanted those guys, and I'm not here to
Speaker 1: tell you that, Like I think their team's great, but
Speaker 1: when you have Otega away coming back, you can add
Speaker 1: the kind of guys they had and.
Speaker 2: Still look at the rest of your roster.
Speaker 1: And feel like, you know, we've got a chance to be,
Speaker 1: you know, competing at the top of the sec again.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, we'll come back on the other side.
Speaker 1: Wrap up the four sorry, wrap up the three oclock hour.
Speaker 1: Getting ahead of myself here, but yeah, stick around. We
Speaker 1: got one more segment here in the three o'clock hour
Speaker 1: and a lot more to go, so again, keep it
Speaker 1: locked right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: That's right, wrap it up the three o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: Here on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon, it is coffee and company,
Speaker 1: and we are fueled by Thornton's big shout out to
Speaker 1: my friends over at the Louisville Men's Clinic. They helped me,
Speaker 1: and I know they can help you, and I guess
Speaker 1: I don't know that for certain. I'm sure there's some
Speaker 1: people listening that they couldn't help, you know, especially if
Speaker 1: you're not a man. Hence the name of Louisville Men's Clinic.
Speaker 1: But it's not just low testosterone, which you guys have
Speaker 1: heard me talk about quite a bit, because that's something
Speaker 1: that I didn't even realize was the thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: i'd heard of it, but had no clue what it
Speaker 1: was and didn't even really care what it was. And
Speaker 1: then sure enough, you know, marketing works, messaging works, and
Speaker 1: I was listening to some of their commercials that are
Speaker 1: on our family of stations here at iHeart, and I thought,
Speaker 1: you know what that could be me. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: I feel like these early to mid thirties hit me
Speaker 1: harder than I was anticipating. And I just assumed it
Speaker 1: was because I was getting older and that's just life.
Speaker 1: But maybe there's more to it. And sure enough, that's
Speaker 1: what it was. My testosterone levels were a lot lower
Speaker 1: than what they should be for somebody my age, and
Speaker 1: now that's been something I've been treating that for over
Speaker 1: a year now, and I feel better now at thirty six,
Speaker 1: almost thirty seven, than I did for I feel like
Speaker 1: a good chunk of my of my early thirties. So
Speaker 1: that's how they've helped me. And I'm sure there's plenty
Speaker 1: of you listening right now that are maybe even younger
Speaker 1: than me, and maybe you feel like, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: getting the same results as I used to get in
Speaker 1: the gym. And again, you probably just chalk it up
Speaker 1: to getting older or maybe not taking care of yourself
Speaker 1: as much as you once did. And maybe that's the case,
Speaker 1: or maybe not. Maybe you could have a much better
Speaker 1: and healthier life, happier life if in fact, you know,
Speaker 1: you got it looked at. But it's not just it's
Speaker 1: not just for testosterone treatment. It's a rectilist function. They've
Speaker 1: got a variety of ways they can treat that for you.
Speaker 1: They also can help you when it comes to hair
Speaker 1: restoration weight loss therapy. So again I doubt that they
Speaker 1: have many people that just show up and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you all can do for me,
Speaker 1: but let's talk. But I'm sure they wouldn't be opposed
Speaker 1: to it, because you know, I think I've tried my best,
Speaker 1: and I think I've done a fairly decent job of
Speaker 1: really kind of you know, laying out my situation. But
Speaker 1: I wasn't living life thinking, man, I need to get
Speaker 1: this fixed. I've got this issue. I just thought that
Speaker 1: was life. And sure enough, you know there was something
Speaker 1: that could be done, which I've done. That is well,
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. The Loib of Men's Clinic did it,
Speaker 1: so again check it out Louis of Men's Clinic dot
Speaker 1: com babo.
Speaker 2: Two four four.
Speaker 1: Thousand that that definitely is the way to go, all right,
Speaker 1: so we are up against it. We'll get out of
Speaker 1: here in just a few minutes or actually not a
Speaker 1: few minutes, but probably within a minute or so. But
Speaker 1: I do want to set the table for the rest
Speaker 1: of the way. Pat Kelcey obviously, so far so good.
Speaker 1: Year one was phenomenal and the future looks really, really bright.
Speaker 1: But he found out about something over the weekend that
Speaker 1: he probably didn't really consider when he took this job, right,
Speaker 1: meaning something that could be a real cool perk that
Speaker 1: you really wouldn't expect anywhere else other than Louisville. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. Also, I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: have ever gotten into the Untold series on Netflix. It's
Speaker 1: basically Netflix's version of the thirty for thirties that ESPN does,
Speaker 1: And I feel like they've been phenomenal, meaning the in
Speaker 1: fact thirty for thirty is phenomenal too. But Netflix really
Speaker 1: has done documentaries at a high level, and I think
Speaker 1: the Untold series has been great, and they've now put
Speaker 1: out at least a couple of the different stories they're
Speaker 1: going to feature, and I cannot wait so we can
Speaker 1: get into that and we'll see, of course, you know,
Speaker 1: what transpires the rest of the way here. As far
Speaker 1: as it being the last day for players to enter
Speaker 1: the portal, I did make the prediction that we might
Speaker 1: see a big, big name that nobody would have expected
Speaker 1: hit the portal before the end of the show today,
Speaker 1: but I could easily be wrong. Trust me, I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm wrong pretty often. And also, the NFL Draft, just
Speaker 1: a couple of days away, will check in on not
Speaker 1: just Tyler Shuck as far as where he's projected to go,
Speaker 1: but also the other local players. And you guys will
Speaker 1: hear a lot more about these guys this time of
Speaker 1: year than you really ever do. And that is, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever happened to that guy who they drafted, you know
Speaker 1: in the first rod at quarterback and you know was awful.
Speaker 1: There's a good breakdown here, I guess I should say,
Speaker 1: a good rundown of a lot of these guys that
Speaker 1: you forgot about that you know, we're big time NFL
Speaker 1: Draft busts. In fact, some of these names are names
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday, and it is nice to see
Speaker 1: these guys have seemingly found, you know, a good life,
Speaker 1: despite unfortunately always probably being remembered by the majority of
Speaker 1: society as yeah, that guy was a real bust. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know their family and their loved ones.
Speaker 1: It's different or if they were really good in college
Speaker 1: and you know you're a fan of that program. But
Speaker 1: you know, for example, when I hear the name Ryan Leaf,
Speaker 1: one thing comes to mind, and that would be tough
Speaker 1: to deal with, right like, and you can't control it.
Speaker 1: It's really not your fault, you know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So we can get into that and a
Speaker 1: lot more. Stick with us four o'clock hours coming up
Speaker 1: next right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
