00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Now we have Ryan with breaking news.

7
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 1>This is Eye on the Ball breaking news on Fox

8
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Sports fourteen fifty.

9
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's get started with some Arizona athletics news,

10
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 4>starting with volleyball. They closed out their non conference run

11
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 4>and they finished with an eleven and oh record.

12
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the competition wasn't all that great, but we talked

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>about this before, Ryan where and they know this because

14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Ada had to go through it. They have to learn

15
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>how to win, right because if you struggle for all

16
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>this time and then they don't know how to win, well,

17
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>now you know how to win. Whether they win or

18
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>not in the tough Big twelve, because it's very tough.

19
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>At least you're eleven zero.

20
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're gonna be it's gonna be tough, but it's

21
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 5>not going to be the Pac twelve. That's I think

22
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 5>it's gonna be maybe a little easier, hopefully for them.

23
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, outside of well who are the powers? Well, Nebraska's

24
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 2>not in the is They're gone, right, they're gone. Texas

25
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>they're gone.

26
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 3>They're gone. We'll see.

27
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what we've talked about with Jay a number

28
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>of times. Uh, David, I don't know how you feel

29
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 2>about this. The move, although troubling from the Pac twelve

30
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 2>to the Big twelve was troubling. I think, you know,

31
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 2>you didn't want to see it happened, but it gives

32
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>there was on a better chance of success.

33
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 3>Do you agree? I agree.

34
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 5>I you know, I don't know how much baseball's played

35
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 5>in some of these places. I mean, I know the

36
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Oklahoma States of the world have been pretty good for

37
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 5>many years, so that's going to be interesting. But some

38
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 5>of these sports, it's going to be a whole new

39
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 5>ball game going into places where they're unfamiliar, and yeah,

40
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, we don't you know, we as fans and

41
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 5>reporters will have to look up some of the history

42
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 5>and sort of see how these programs have done.

43
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I got one of these

44
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>questions today, you know, how how's the basketball team that

45
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>looked at him taking good I've never not said that

46
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>in thirty some years. Right, you look good, And I said,

47
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>but be be on the alert that they could finish

48
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>third or fourth in the league, but still have a

49
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>chance to win the national title, right, because they're gonna

50
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>be better for it.

51
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Yep, They're gonna have all these games and you know

52
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Baylors and places like that in Kansas, Houston, Houston and

53
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 5>TCU and some of these programs that have been in

54
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 5>final fours and been in big games.

55
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be it's gonna be fun to watch for sure.

56
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, right. Arizona center Avery S. Couggins was named

57
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 4>the Big twelve Volleyball Rookie of the Week.

58
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 3>Cool.

59
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Cool, I mean there's a lot of things going on.

60
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.759
<v Speaker 2>We had the coach here maybe about a month ago

61
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 2>before the season started, very direct, very uh, and she

62
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>struggled in their first year, right, Yeah, most people do,

63
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>or most coaches do. And now, like I say, the

64
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 2>winning like this beats the alternative.

65
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, let's hope that they have some momentum maybe heading

66
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 5>into their conference and some bigger games, because like you said,

67
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 5>they're their non conference wasn't super difficult, but they got

68
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 5>through with victories, right, beats the alternative.

69
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Right.

70
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Week three of the NFL completed yesterday. I think one

71
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 4>of the personally, one of the biggest surprises was the

72
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 4>Commanders over the Yeah, last night.

73
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>That was a good game last night. It was exciting.

74
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>It was better than the other one.

75
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 3>God.

76
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 5>Oh the Buffalo games. Yeah, it was like Jacksonville, what's

77
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 5>up with that?

78
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Not good? Buffalo looked pretty good.

79
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 6>There was.

80
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 5>It was a crazy week of upsets. Again, are you

81
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 5>in survival pool? No?

82
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>We no, I know this is not for that reason,

83
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>but week two for survival polls wiped out a ton

84
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>of people. Yeah, Becau last night last week. Okay, so

85
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>there's very few people left and those pools. But the

86
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>funny thing about it in sports, and I got on

87
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Jay for this because he did this all time. You

88
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>played well on one Sunday and.

89
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 3>You look great. Dallas. I'll give you Dallas.

90
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 2>First game they played and they beat Cleveland. They did

91
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>him pretty well, pretty easily. Dallas is going back to

92
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the super Bowl. They look fantastic. A week later they

93
00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>looked like Crape.

94
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 5>I think the NF fell more than anything is like that.

95
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 5>You just cannot predict. I mean I was looking at

96
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 5>it like, oh, for sure, the Raiders are going to win.

97
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 5>Carolina is terrible. You know, I picked him in two

98
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 5>pools and right, so you're out too.

99
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm where there.

100
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 5>We have a three and out situations. Okay, I'm down

101
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 5>to my last one already in week four?

102
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 3>Wow?

103
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and all these these games, did you ever cover

104
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Antonio Pearce?

105
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 3>What do you remember? He was tough?

106
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 5>He was he was a good middle linebacker. Did he

107
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 5>come in as a j Z transfer? Do you remember

108
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 5>his personality on going hitting the personality He was one

109
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 5>of those guys that you know you'd go to for for.

110
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Post game and stuff.

111
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, because he's another guy that And I said

112
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>this yesterday, it's tough to hire the substitute teacher for

113
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the head job. And now he's going through stuff that

114
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>every coach there for a few years have suffered, didn't He.

115
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 5>He was pretty vocal about this team's performance too. Right,

116
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 5>he's looking at making some changes. Great quotes, he said, yeah,

117
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 5>they made some business decisions.

118
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 3>Right, which is a great quote. They're right.

119
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 4>Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Farvre disclosed during a congressional

120
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 4>hearing on Tuesday that he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

121
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.160

<v Speaker 2>And they talked about concussions and things like that, but

127
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that's I'm not a doctor, so I wanted

128
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to say that that's connected to this, but you know,

132
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 4>looks a little bit older Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

133
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 4>And they came out and said that one of the classmates. Yeah,

137
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.519

138
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, the investigation showed that it was one of

139
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>his friend's daughters, a classmate of Yeah. Yeah, and then

140
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 2>it happened in a while back. It happened in January.

141
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 3>And Dan playoffs, I think was right.

142
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>They lost, and they lost and he said, well, I

143
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.920

144
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>It's like these kids calling in for stupid bomb scares

145
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and all that. No, dude, this is serious stuff. You

<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, it's I hate to

148
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 5>say it, but it's kind of nice. I don't ever

149
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 5>remember this happening before.

150
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 6>No.

151
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 3>Usually, you know, the coaches have privacy and.

152
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.680

<v Speaker 2>wins like that, right, don't do it.

169
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 3>It's gambling.

170
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well that happened. I think it happened last year

171
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 4>in the playoffs in the NFL playoffs.

172
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

173
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean it was like the year before the kicker

174
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.959
<v Speaker 4>like missed the field goal, like a game winning field goal,

175
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 4>and then like after that, he just starting in death threats.

176
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and his family, right, it happens all the time.

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm go after somebody and their families were. What they

178
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>need to do is go out to the people that

179
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 2>do that.

180
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, well hopefully they catch him.

181
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 4>Back twelve, they are filing our files a poaching comedy

182
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 4>lawsuit in federal court. That was Tuesday, that was today

183
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 4>included in a football scheduling agreement. It's I'm with the

184
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 4>Mountain West Conference back in December.

185
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you know there's there's they got poached. Now

186
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.279
<v Speaker 2>they're doing the poaching, and then the poachers who were

187
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.759
<v Speaker 2>not being poached or poached are going to be poached.

188
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 5>You know how that goes. You know, it's just the

189
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 5>way of the world.

190
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 3>The dominoes again, Well, it's crazy. I don't even know

191
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>what to say.

192
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 5>We talked about earlier with San Diego State and some

193
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 5>of these other schools. You and lv is just kind

194
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 5>of hanging around like they're waiting.

195
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 3>For something, right right, Well, New Mexico too, Yeah.

196
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 5>But I mean you and Elvi again, I would think

197
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 5>they would be a natural of all places with with

198
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 5>the giant stadium and it's all the politics trade of Yeah,

199
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 5>it's all the politics now with them and Reno.

200
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, with Reno.

201
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like New Mexico or Arizona Narisola State

202
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>back in the day.

203
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Right.

204
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So let me ask you this is just decide

205
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 2>you have more a lot more. Oh okay, now you

206
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 2>can going up to ask this question later. Switching over

207
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>to MLB Detroit Tiger's starting pitcher Terry Scooble or schoo Ball, I.

208
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 3>Can't remember how to pronounce his name.

209
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 4>He won his eighteenth game, and he is lead or

210
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 4>he's continuing to be a candidate for the Alsion Award.

211
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Is he the leader in wins? I don't think so.

212
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Eighteen No, but.

213
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 5>The Tigers kind of like came out of nowhere. They

214
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 5>were they were not even talked about it in the

215
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 5>old picture. He has almost as many wins as the

216
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 5>Chicago Whites Great Stadium.

217
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 3>By the way too. I was there a couple of

218
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>years ago.

219
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 5>Detroit, Detroit Comerica Park, beautiful stadium right right next to

220
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 5>Ford Field where the Lions play. Tons of baseball history

221
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 5>when you think about Detroit, I mean going on, you know,

222
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 5>back to Ty Cobb and people like that. But they

223
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 5>had all kinds of great statues and what time, what

224
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.919
<v Speaker 5>time of year it was in May, the weather was nice,

225
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 5>and Detroit downtown.

226
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean you hear all these stori right, it's been

227
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>fixed up. Yeah, it's it was really cool. I was

228
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>there back when Arizona played and when Shan Shan, when

229
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>the Miles Simon was there in like ninety seven eight,

230
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 2>when he was out academically as to play a game Michigan. Yeah,

231
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 2>I was cold. I just remember being cold. It was

232
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 2>out out not I drove into flew into Detroit and

233
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 2>went to somewhere else, but I played Michigan. I think

234
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 2>it was some something it was. It was cold and

235
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 2>it was awful, and it was you know, get the

236
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>hell out of DODG. But yeah, I'm not a fan

237
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>of Detroit.

238
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

239
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, we had a good time. I was with my

240
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 5>college friends and stuff. So we got around the summers

241
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 5>in Detroit are different than town Museum things like that,

242
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Summers are different than winters of Detroit's true.

243
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 4>Yes, right now, the Tigers are sitting in the second

244
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 4>wild card spot. They have a half game lead over

245
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 4>their division rivals, the Royals, who are trying to lock

246
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 4>up the third and then you got the Twins. Mariners

247
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 4>are right there game and a half back. So it's

248
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 4>going to be a tight race for the wild card

249
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 4>in the American League.

250
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if you guys talked about the brilliant season the

251
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 5>White Sox have had, yeah, that's unbelievable.

252
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 3>That's unbelievable.

253
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but they I mean, come on, they were losing

254
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>big like the first month, right, they were losing, so

255
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>at least they're consistent.

256
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 3>They haven't they haven't hit like a hot streak yet.

257
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>No, God, how could you? What kind of players do

258
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you have to have on that team?

259
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

260
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 5>We saw I actually we saw them play to this

261
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.720
<v Speaker 5>this summer. We were in New York and they played

262
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 5>the White Sox. They played the Yankees. I know the

263
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 5>Yankees won, but I don't even know anybody on the

264
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.919
<v Speaker 5>White Sox on their roster.

265
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Part of your success, of my success, I won't speak

266
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 2>for you, but I don't think I covered a losing

267
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>team all my career. Wow, I don't think I covered

268
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>a losing team. Oh my god, Dick Tomy didn't have

269
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>a losing career, did he?

270
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 7>No?

271
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 2>No, But I didn't cover the team I didn't cover.

272
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I was in the first three where he went. He

273
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 2>was like seven to five ors, you know, whatever it was,

274
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and then Loot obviously didn't.

275
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 3>So I was spoiled. Spoiled.

276
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>But come on in your time, well you Macavic, were

277
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 2>you there for mac?

278
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 3>Was there for Max? Right away?

279
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 5>That the worst year early stoops heres were pretty rough

280
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 5>and that wasn't covering.

281
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I covered them a little for Fox, but but not

282
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>like my day to day stuff. Yeah, you know, never

283
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>come so it's easy going into winning locker room god.

284
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 5>No kidding, but it was there were there were not

285
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 5>too many of those years. You always kind of there

286
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 5>was always a glimmer of hope. Especially with basketball, there's

287
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.799
<v Speaker 5>no I mean, obviously they were very good almost every year. Yeah,

288
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 5>but some of the other sports, I mean, it was

289
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 5>it was tough to cover him and sometimes he even

290
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 5>as a reporter, you're just trying to justify, do I

291
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 5>need to really go.

292
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Out there and cover this. Right.

293
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 5>You know, women's basketball teams not doing very well. Does

294
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 5>anybody care?

295
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 7>Right?

296
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 3>So you tried to not get too caught up in that.

297
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so Scoogle actually has he has half of the

298
00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:00.799
<v Speaker 4>White Sox wins because thirty six, Well that's crazy. Charlie Blakeman,

299
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 4>full time All Star with the Colorado Rockies. He has

300
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 4>retired after fourteen seasons are pretty good. I think he

301
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 4>had a pretty good a career. I enjoyed watching him.

302
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 4>A good defense and he was a thread at the

303
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.320
<v Speaker 4>plate as well. That's about all I got today. So

304
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.879

438
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's been a great, great year basically when you

439
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 5>think about last year at this time, how things evolved

440
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 5>and developed and continued all the way into the World Series.

441
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 5>And I mean this has been fun to watch, honestly

442
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 5>as a baseball fan here for a long time to

443
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 5>see a lot of these young players develop. And it's

444
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 5>gonna be fun to see him in person, just kind

445
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 5>of growing up right before your eyes.

446
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, and it's also been maddening and frustrating for a

447
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 13>lot of people.

448
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 7>Here that are so close to it because of what

449
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 7>happened last year. They got spoiled by.

450
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.119
<v Speaker 13>That run into the World Series and then the litany

451
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.200
<v Speaker 13>of injuries that just boggles my mind. If you talk

452
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 13>about three starting pitchers, and you know, a gold Glove catcher,

453
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 13>a gold Glove first baseman, an MVP candidate, starting short stoppers,

454
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:01.039
<v Speaker 13>and all are your.

455
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 7>Left fielder, your center fielder.

456
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.039
<v Speaker 13>Goes on and on and on, and yet here they are,

457
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.000
<v Speaker 13>and there was a World Series hangover early on.

458
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 7>There is absolutely no doubt about it.

459
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 13>But I think the key here and especially in Phoenix,

460
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.000
<v Speaker 13>for this group is there is a need, just an

461
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 13>unquenchable desire for sustained success, and that's a big cross

462
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 13>to carry here in the Valley. It seems like every

463
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.160
<v Speaker 13>team has that issue, and the Diamondbacks, I feel like,

464
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.519
<v Speaker 13>are on the cusp of that. These guys are the

465
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:34.960
<v Speaker 13>core of this team is going to be here and

466
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.839
<v Speaker 13>they're going to be good, really good for a while,

467
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.000
<v Speaker 13>and we haven't really seen much of that over the

468
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 13>years here. Spoiled obviously because I grew up in the

469
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:47.880
<v Speaker 13>shadows of covering Loudelsen, so I know what sustained success

470
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.680
<v Speaker 13>is like and man, if they can get into the postseason.

471
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 13>No one wants to play this team, nobody. It could

472
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.119
<v Speaker 13>be another magical run, who knows, but they got to

473
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 13>get in.

474
00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.519
<v Speaker 3>So it's smarts tonight.

475
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to loot in a little bit because he

476
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 2>just had to would would have been his ninety uh birthday,

477
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 2>But we'll get to that in a second. You're one

478
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of those dudes, Todd. I think I'm safe to say

479
00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:11.960
<v Speaker 2>this that you love going to the park. You're a

480
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>great storyteller. You enjoy what you do. Uh and back

481
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.359
<v Speaker 2>to back years have been pretty good. It's and it

482
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 2>sucks being suck covering up. Dave and I were talking

483
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>about sucks covering a bad team. You haven't had that

484
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>over the last two years.

485
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.519
<v Speaker 13>No, not in the summer and while there was a

486
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 13>never mind, well there was a hockey Well while while

487
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 13>there was a hockey team here, I lived at more

488
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 13>often than not. And then to turn around and you know,

489
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.200
<v Speaker 13>parachute into the season in May, which is what I've

490
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 13>been doing for the last twenty five years or so.

491
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 7>It was always refreshing. But I will say that the

492
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:50.359
<v Speaker 7>coolest part.

493
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 13>About it in the last three or four years is

494
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 13>that the franchise has sort of mirrored each other in

495
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.240
<v Speaker 13>their evolution and where they were at, you know, a

496
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.119
<v Speaker 13>very clear and obvious rebuild. They didn't go halfway in,

497
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 13>they did it full bore, and you accepted it. And

498
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:07.400
<v Speaker 13>then you watch these prospects come up and they got

499
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.119
<v Speaker 13>to play, and they weren't ruined by playing. It developed,

500
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 13>and at this.

501
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.759
<v Speaker 7>Point in my life and career, that's all I can

502
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 7>ask for.

503
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 13>Like, somebody asked me today about the stress of this

504
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 13>season and they're all upset about the game last night.

505
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you can't I couldn't wait. I couldn't sleep

506
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 3>last night. I know you guys know this.

507
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 13>When there's a big game and you know you've got

508
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.400
<v Speaker 13>a press pass, you've got one of the best seats

509
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:29.880
<v Speaker 13>in the house.

510
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm sitting in one right now.

511
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 7>I couldn't wait to get to work.

512
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 13>I mean it's you know, I have a U of

513
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:38.839
<v Speaker 13>A degree in my wall somewhere and that's great and

514
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.559
<v Speaker 13>help me get here.

515
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.319
<v Speaker 7>But I still haven't worked yet. I'll call you when

516
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 7>I have a job.

517
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 5>Don't because it sucks, you know, you know what I mean, Yes,

518
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.079
<v Speaker 5>of course I'll tell you. Just get a hold of Jay.

519
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.480
<v Speaker 5>He had to go find a real job, exactly right.

520
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 5>Quick question about you mentioned it real briefly about hockey.

521
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.319
<v Speaker 5>I mean you were so associated with that franchise.

522
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:05.160
<v Speaker 3>What is it like for you now? I mean the

523
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 3>exhibition Games will begun and you know they're gone. Are

524
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 3>you okay?

525
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:11.920
<v Speaker 10>Now?

526
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:12.759
<v Speaker 7>I'm okay.

527
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm so associated. It probably cost me a job.

528
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 13>And I know that they wanted a clean slate in

529
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 13>so many different areas, and that was very It was

530
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.920
<v Speaker 13>a long year and a half. It's been how do

531
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 13>I put this, It's been illuminating to see where.

532
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:34.400
<v Speaker 7>The direction went and then my place in it.

533
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.599
<v Speaker 13>I'm very happy with twenty eight years, which blows my mind.

534
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.440
<v Speaker 7>Going coast to coast with the Coyotes.

535
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 13>I don't think anybody in the NHL ever dreams and

536
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 13>things like that. I know I didn't, and so I'm

537
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.400
<v Speaker 13>very happy that I've done things that I never possibly

538
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 13>could have imagined the course of my career covering the

539
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 13>National Hockey League from you know, writing and hosting a

540
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 13>miracle on ice event in like Acid with those guys too.

541
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 13>Gave a speech for Dave Straight or the late Dave

542
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:09.039
<v Speaker 13>Straighter at the Hockey Hall of Fame to hosting a

543
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 13>Shane Dones ceremony and being around these guys every day.

544
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 7>Traveling all over with America. I can go on and on.

545
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:20.119
<v Speaker 13>I never, in my wildest dreams thought that could ever happen,

546
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:21.440
<v Speaker 13>and it did.

547
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 7>And I was lucky enough when.

548
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 13>It ended to be able to speak my piece because

549
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:28.920
<v Speaker 13>of a weird series of events that happened throughout the

550
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 13>course of the night. I was all alone in a

551
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.319
<v Speaker 13>set and I wasn't supposed to happen away, but I was.

552
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.480
<v Speaker 7>And I just I said goodbye to hockey.

553
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.160
<v Speaker 13>I said thank you to hockey and the game of

554
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:44.160
<v Speaker 13>hockey and the people in it. And I got to

555
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 13>thank the fans for going along on a torturous ride here.

556
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 13>There's nothing as mercurial as being a Coyote fan. And

557
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 13>at this point long answer, I'm okay, but I'm not

558
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 13>going to get a paycheck in a week.

559
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:58.160
<v Speaker 7>For the first time.

560
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 5>Year, Farewell was memorable. I mean I watched it and

561
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.079
<v Speaker 5>it was amazing. So it was.

562
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 7>Out of body, dude, it was it completely out of body.

563
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't supposed to be that way.

564
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:13.279
<v Speaker 13>And I mean, but I just I remember starting like

565
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.920
<v Speaker 13>here we go, and I don't know, I just kind

566
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 13>of felt like it was the way it supposed to end.

567
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 7>And I'm okay with it.

568
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.160
<v Speaker 13>I've got some unique opportunities that may be present themselves.

569
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.799
<v Speaker 7>They better or my mortgage company will has I thing

570
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 7>to say for it.

571
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 13>But I haven't had a winner where I've not been

572
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 13>traveling since nineteen ninety six. Yeah, so you might see

573
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:40.400
<v Speaker 13>me down there a little bit and that will be

574
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:40.839
<v Speaker 13>good for me.

575
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.599
<v Speaker 7>I would love to be down on the round and

576
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:44.079
<v Speaker 7>that that would be great.

577
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So Dave, do you collect stuff? Do you just kind

578
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:48.559
<v Speaker 2>of say stuff I have?

579
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean not lately, but get through my career, I

580
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 3>said a lot of things.

581
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 2>So Todd of knows exactly where I'm going with so

582
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>he has the most unusual stuff, Like, you know, I

583
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 2>saved the signature on a piece of paper and it's

584
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:02.640
<v Speaker 2>still there somewhere and he knows where to find it

585
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>because it's in his grudge or so. So with that,

586
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:09.640
<v Speaker 2>with that sentimentals goodbye to to the coyotes. What would

587
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 2>what did you save? You had to have saved a

588
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.480
<v Speaker 2>ton of stuff.

589
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.160
<v Speaker 7>Wow, Well, first of all, I'm not a hoarder.

590
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 13>Sure, okay, you can actually you can actually walk through

591
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.559
<v Speaker 13>my front door and get to the back door of

592
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:24.880
<v Speaker 13>the house relatively painfree.

593
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

594
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 7>What did I say from that night? I didn't save

595
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.119
<v Speaker 7>as much as you might think, because I was it

596
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.480
<v Speaker 7>was so frustrating.

597
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Uh you know, I make sure.

598
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:35.920
<v Speaker 13>I got a game program and I got a puck.

599
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.200
<v Speaker 13>But the point of that is I always knew that

600
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.480
<v Speaker 13>I was saving stuff along the way because I'd probably

601
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.160
<v Speaker 13>use it again in a broadcast. And I honestly, I

602
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 13>walked down the building, I'm like, what am I going

603
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.119
<v Speaker 13>to do?

604
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 3>I actually threw out.

605
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 13>They had a goofy mullet giveaway, an actual mullet, a

606
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 13>wig of a mullet an opening night at Mullet Arena,

607
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.039
<v Speaker 13>and I saw it the other day and I went, no,

608
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:01.599
<v Speaker 13>got to grow up when I walked in and I

609
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 13>threw it out. So I have a few things. That night,

610
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.480
<v Speaker 13>it was more about people in the moments. There was

611
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:13.920
<v Speaker 13>just a parade of people that I hadn't seen years

612
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 13>that wanted to be at that game and we share time,

613
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.079
<v Speaker 13>and you know what, that's more human and saving some

614
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.119
<v Speaker 13>inanimate objects.

615
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 3>So maybe I've yeah, turned the corner. I don't know, I.

616
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Hope So all right, Well, well I know this because

617
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:28.759
<v Speaker 2>of the loot stuff. I won't go there in a second,

618
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:34.519
<v Speaker 2>talk about your McCoy stuff. You had something on Twitter today, yeah, and.

619
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.200
<v Speaker 7>I if you can go there, it's Todd Walsh.

620
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 13>I started working with Alan nineteen eighty eight when I

621
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:43.920
<v Speaker 13>left part of the Sun's broadcast the Kareem post game shows,

622
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 13>and we just became friends and peers, and he was

623
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:48.880
<v Speaker 13>a mentor and.

624
00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:50.519
<v Speaker 7>Talked.

625
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:51.319
<v Speaker 3>You know.

626
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.839
<v Speaker 13>We worked together for five years and I left kta R,

627
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:55.759
<v Speaker 13>but we still stayed in touch. And then in the

628
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.359
<v Speaker 13>last couple of years we kind of got back together

629
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.599
<v Speaker 13>again and we to show at his house the story

630
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:03.200
<v Speaker 13>of his career.

631
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:04.640
<v Speaker 7>That was remarkable.

632
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 13>The one thing I remember more about that show, though,

633
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 13>was I had to drive out from downtown to his

634
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.960
<v Speaker 13>house to do a separate interview and we were in

635
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 13>rush hour traffic, and that's the moment I remember the most.

636
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 3>But I was two things, if I could.

637
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 13>I was selling a story on the air last night

638
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.559
<v Speaker 13>when I first got here. Greg Shulti, who was always

639
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 13>putting me on, always putting me on the air, always

640
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:31.240
<v Speaker 13>giving me a shot, and one night he said, Hey,

641
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 13>I've got an Ashue game out of town. Why don't

642
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.240
<v Speaker 13>you do the Sun's game without so I lost my marbles.

643
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 13>I'm twenty four years old. I just left the basketball

644
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:43.000
<v Speaker 13>program at the U of A. At basketball is in

645
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 13>my head and I'm working a Sun's game with Al.

646
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:48.839
<v Speaker 13>So I call everybody on the planet, anyone that I

647
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:50.960
<v Speaker 13>could think of, and then I start doing research and

648
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 13>homework and I go.

649
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:53.839
<v Speaker 7>To the shooter ound and I mean, I am like

650
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:55.240
<v Speaker 7>so uber prepared.

651
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:58.359
<v Speaker 13>At least I thought I was that tail next to

652
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:02.319
<v Speaker 13>al Courtside Coliseum. I couldn't even feel my feet. And

653
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 13>right after the ant before we came back on air

654
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.720
<v Speaker 13>and out looks at me, he goes, so, listen, just

655
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.759
<v Speaker 13>keep this simple. Just give the score one come out

656
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:11.200
<v Speaker 13>of break and I'll take it from there. And I

657
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 13>just like, what But but you know what, I know

658
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 13>why he did it, and he was right. But the rest,

659
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 13>as they say, is history. But we did something. And

660
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.799
<v Speaker 13>I know you guys can appreciate this. In the nineties,

661
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:26.720
<v Speaker 13>when I was working with Julukava, we had a four

662
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:28.440
<v Speaker 13>hour talk show and it was the only show in town.

663
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 13>Talk radio wasn't what it was now, but there was

664
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:33.279
<v Speaker 13>no baseball here, so we had four hours a night

665
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 13>to fill and it was hard. In the summertime. It

666
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 13>was really hard, and we used to come up with

667
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 13>radio theater or event radio. Once a month we'd have

668
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 13>a theme show. And one time I sat there with

669
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.240
<v Speaker 13>Jude and a conference room, I said, why don't we

670
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 13>have some fun with the Sun Celtics triple overtime game?

671
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 7>Why don't we do a whole show on it?

672
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 13>Greatest game ever played in NBA history at that time,

673
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.079
<v Speaker 13>bar none, it was pretty much standard thought.

674
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:00.160
<v Speaker 3>So for about a month we worked on the gust.

675
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 13>List and we had John Halchek, Tommy Heinsen, Jojo White,

676
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 13>Dave Collins, Dick ben Arsdale, Paul Westfall, Richie Powers, Jerry Colangelo.

677
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.480
<v Speaker 13>I sat down with the original recording of that show

678
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.480
<v Speaker 13>of the game and pulled clips with Brent Musburger was

679
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.400
<v Speaker 13>on the call with Miny Rudolph and Rick Berry. Pulled

680
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.519
<v Speaker 13>it all together, a mosaic together, and in the final hour,

681
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.279
<v Speaker 13>this is where we get a little crazy. We recreated

682
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 13>the ending of the game and we called it the

683
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 13>time Machine. And so I went to Paul west Fall

684
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:33.359
<v Speaker 13>and said, listen, this is what we're.

685
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.960
<v Speaker 7>Going to do is going to be fun. But how

686
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.039
<v Speaker 7>would you have tied that game? If you could I will.

687
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:38.359
<v Speaker 3>I want.

688
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:40.839
<v Speaker 13>I won't change the ending to you winning it, but

689
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.039
<v Speaker 13>we're going to just put it into the fourth overtime.

690
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:46.279
<v Speaker 13>And in second he's like, okay, well, here's what's going

691
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.559
<v Speaker 13>to happen. They didn't bound the ball, and then to

692
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 13>get the ball, steal the ball, probably get it down

693
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:54.359
<v Speaker 13>the floor to Curtis Perry. They'll find penalty streaking and

694
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 13>won't have enough time, but they'll get a bank.

695
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.240
<v Speaker 7>Shot off and they'll make it. The'll go it four

696
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:57.799
<v Speaker 7>oft times.

697
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay. I go to Dick Van Arsdell tell him that.

698
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:01.799
<v Speaker 7>Paul says, you're going to make the shot.

699
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.880
<v Speaker 13>Dick ben Arzel says, well, yeah, but I want to

700
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 13>make sure it's over gone.

701
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.720
<v Speaker 3>Nelson, Okay, whatever you want.

702
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 7>Turned to the corner end of the.

703
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 13>Story, walked into Al McCoy's office and I said, play

704
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:17.799
<v Speaker 13>with me here, Al, this is what we're doing. And

705
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.119
<v Speaker 13>he had a big gleam in his eye and he's like, okay, okay.

706
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 13>I said, well, here's the play, and I described the play.

707
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:25.640
<v Speaker 13>He took out a piece of paper and he scribbled

708
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 13>down all the guys that he knew that were on

709
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 13>the court as the game ended, and he looked at

710
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 13>me and put his hand over one of his ears

711
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.400
<v Speaker 13>and took my Marian's tape deck and he said, you're rolling,

712
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:39.319
<v Speaker 13>And then he recreated me in the game that is

713
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:43.400
<v Speaker 13>on Twitter right now audio. It will curl your toes

714
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:46.440
<v Speaker 13>and it's a it's my ode al. It is one

715
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:48.160
<v Speaker 13>of the most remarkable things that I've been around in

716
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 13>my broadcast career. He just he just recreated the ending

717
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.039
<v Speaker 13>and sent that game into the fourth overtime and he

718
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 13>did it without blinking his eye.

719
00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:59.079
<v Speaker 3>It's remarkable.

720
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.240
<v Speaker 7>So if you have it and you can get to Twitter,

721
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.400
<v Speaker 7>plug it in and.

722
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 13>Just give yourself a little radio theater at the theater of

723
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:06.480
<v Speaker 13>the mine listening.

724
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:09.680
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's part of that that amazing generation of

725
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:13.839
<v Speaker 5>broadcasters in the NBA. I guess maybe even Johnny Most

726
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 5>was even older than them all. But I mean I

727
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.079
<v Speaker 5>grew up with Bill King and then Chick and al

728
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.400
<v Speaker 5>that that group. I mean again, they were so influential

729
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.039
<v Speaker 5>in my thoughts about getting in a broadcast. And I

730
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.319
<v Speaker 5>grew up literally in the Bay Area with Bill King

731
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.359
<v Speaker 5>all in the air all the time, doing the Warriors

732
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:32.799
<v Speaker 5>and doing the Raiders, and then later doing well he

733
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 5>did baseball early That's the other thing too about Al

734
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 5>was that, you know, he was pretty embedded in Phoenix

735
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.799
<v Speaker 5>a lot long time before the Suns even showed up, right,

736
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:43.880
<v Speaker 5>And wasn't he doing gener League Baseball?

737
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:44.640
<v Speaker 3>I did an Ashu.

738
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 7>I think he did the Phoenix Giants in nineteen fifty six.

739
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then he was.

740
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 13>One of the original voices of the Phoenix road Runners

741
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:55.640
<v Speaker 13>in the late sixties and early seventies. His broadcast partner

742
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.880
<v Speaker 13>was Hall of Famer Mike Lang. The Hockey Hall of Famer.

743
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 13>Benny did the Suns. He also did We played this

744
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.720
<v Speaker 13>last Night on our show here in ninety eight ninety nine.

745
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.279
<v Speaker 13>He was part of the stable of announcers of the Diamondbacks.

746
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:13.519
<v Speaker 13>So when Brenley and Brennman left for network duties, Al

747
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 13>which filling on the weekends, and he loved it. And

748
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.160
<v Speaker 13>I worked on a road Runners exhibition game with him

749
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 13>a thousand years ago against the Kings, and it was

750
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.920
<v Speaker 13>like it's like he was literally doing hockey.

751
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 7>His whole life.

752
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:26.559
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

753
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 13>It was just that good and a jack of all trades.

754
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.000
<v Speaker 13>So the Autumn Wind wasn't raidered dame.

755
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:34.920
<v Speaker 5>By the way, So so Tug just saw that this

756
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.440
<v Speaker 5>week they showed it again somewhere.

757
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so let's let's transition. We got to just a

758
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of minutes. So so Lou Lou would have turned

759
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 2>ninety a couple of days ago. But you, you know,

760
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 2>have you been alive. You can ask him again to

761
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 2>get a job. Can you explain? Can you explain? Can

762
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you explain the job that you tried to get you

763
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>back at the day?

764
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 13>He uh, when I foolishly quit my job at Canst

765
00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:59.559
<v Speaker 13>because I thought they were revolved run and all my

766
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:05.000
<v Speaker 13>problems and travails and just I just blew it. And

767
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.159
<v Speaker 13>I went out and loaded cargo planes and emory to

768
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:12.000
<v Speaker 13>the split shift at the airport and wore a red

769
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:17.880
<v Speaker 13>jumpsuit every day with a reflective device on. Somebody that

770
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.199
<v Speaker 13>I was working was said, dude, you're not supposed to

771
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:20.599
<v Speaker 13>be here.

772
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.440
<v Speaker 7>And I realized I just destroyed.

773
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 13>My entire education and everything I can do it with

774
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 13>basketball and the blessing that Brian Jeffers gave me and

775
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 13>all of that. And I went back to him and

776
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.280
<v Speaker 13>I said, can you help me? And it was to

777
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 13>get an off air job and kat r when the

778
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:41.039
<v Speaker 13>Cardinals came out, and unbeknownst to me, he had made

779
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.679
<v Speaker 13>some calls. I sat with him in his office and

780
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.480
<v Speaker 13>I had to explain why I did what I did,

781
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 13>and no one had ever made me do that before, right,

782
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 13>And he accepted it, and then he said, let's let's

783
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.840
<v Speaker 13>put this back together again. Long story after that, when

784
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 13>I got the job, my boss, my new boss, called

785
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:02.199
<v Speaker 13>me and so you tell this basketball coaches stopped calling

786
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.760
<v Speaker 13>got the job. So before I go though, I'm gonna

787
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 13>just say this, I'm gonna tweet a picture from Todd's

788
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 13>garage from here at the baseball stadio. Okay, when I

789
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:12.480
<v Speaker 13>think of what I think of and I'll get it

790
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.400
<v Speaker 13>to you guys. The media cover from eighty five eighty

791
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.719
<v Speaker 13>six where all the coaches are standing there in hard

792
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:21.400
<v Speaker 13>hats because he made a promise of hard work and

793
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:25.199
<v Speaker 13>a promise of victories and a legacy and he delivered.

794
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 13>And that feels like a thousand years ago and it

795
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 13>was forty one years ago, and it.

796
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 7>Blows my mind.

797
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Right.

798
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.239
<v Speaker 2>No, No, he has some great stories, and he had

799
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.599
<v Speaker 2>like four different great stories in the book, just so many,

800
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, going to get the job. Originally having to

801
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:41.559
<v Speaker 2>talk to Scott Thompson in the flood the loot with

802
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:44.880
<v Speaker 2>his job. I mean, come out him saying Todd, you

803
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.679
<v Speaker 2>should have never left us in the first place. You

804
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.199
<v Speaker 2>know whatever it was, you know, disappointed in you because

805
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:50.920
<v Speaker 2>you left us and you had to explain why and

806
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff just good stuff.

807
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, but I.

808
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:57.079
<v Speaker 13>Will say, and Dave Silver, I have no problem saying this,

809
00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.320
<v Speaker 13>and I can say it's to you, Steve and Jack

810
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:03.960
<v Speaker 13>McGruder and Greg Hanson and Corky Simpson and Tom Doudelson.

811
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 13>I was in proximity of people that I didn't realize then,

812
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:09.400
<v Speaker 13>but I.

813
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Do knew that I know it now.

814
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.119
<v Speaker 13>I was watching you guys put out your business and

815
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:16.960
<v Speaker 13>how you covered a team, and how you.

816
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 7>Dealt with players and coaches and moments.

817
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:19.960
<v Speaker 3>I watched it all.

818
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.079
<v Speaker 13>When I give speeches to college students that all want

819
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.440
<v Speaker 13>my job stupidly and foolishly, I tell them my little secret,

820
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.519
<v Speaker 13>which is you don't have to just be on camera

821
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 13>at Cronkite.

822
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:33.679
<v Speaker 3>Get a job at the athletic.

823
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:37.559
<v Speaker 13>Department, find a team that needs something around this. But

824
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:39.719
<v Speaker 13>I would go to every single Littles and press conference

825
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.920
<v Speaker 13>from day one. I would sit there, eat the lasagna

826
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 13>that they brought out.

827
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.599
<v Speaker 7>Yes, but I watched how you did it.

828
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 13>And I would turn and watch your shows at night,

829
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 13>would read your bylines, and.

830
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:55.599
<v Speaker 3>I am a product of that.

831
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.519
<v Speaker 13>I just feels like every five years I sent an

832
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:03.360
<v Speaker 13>email I cans and thank him for helping pave the way.

833
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:04.639
<v Speaker 7>Last night I saw Jack.

834
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:07.280
<v Speaker 13>Lacruder, and I I just feel like I was so

835
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.840
<v Speaker 13>lucky to be around people that were true professionals and

836
00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker 13>understood this business because it is not an Instagram account,

837
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 13>it's not a tech talk account. It is a nuanced

838
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.280
<v Speaker 13>and very very difficult thing to stay it on the

839
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.920
<v Speaker 13>right side of the time. And I'm just glad for

840
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 13>me that it started the two soon with all the

841
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 13>people and more than I just mentioned.

842
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:32.920

00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:21.119
<v Speaker 5>A great interview with Todd, a lot of fun, fantastic.

904
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean again, we've known him for a long time

905
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.480
<v Speaker 5>and it's just been fun to watch his career kind

906
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.400
<v Speaker 5>of side by side with Tucson and Phoenix.

907
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:29.079
<v Speaker 3>And you know.

908
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.719
<v Speaker 5>It really was sad watching the end of the Coyotes

909
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:32.800
<v Speaker 5>because he really was part of that.

910
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:34.239
<v Speaker 3>I think I missed his goodbye.

911
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.880
<v Speaker 5>He did like a I don't know, maybe a five

912
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.360
<v Speaker 5>minute monologue I would say, where it was just really heartfelt,

913
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:42.679
<v Speaker 5>well written and delivered.

914
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 3>It was this perfect way to kind of wrap things.

915
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:45.599
<v Speaker 3>Let's say goodbye.

916
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I didn't realize twenty five years and we've been

917
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:50.159
<v Speaker 2>here forever. I know, I have you been here forever?

918
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:51.039
<v Speaker 3>Todd?

919
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:53.599
<v Speaker 2>He said eighty whatever it was when eighty four, I

920
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:54.800
<v Speaker 2>think it was when he first started.

921
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:58.960
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel old? He was talking he was talking

922
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:02.760
<v Speaker 5>about putting a pick. I remember that picture very well. Yeah,

923
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.199
<v Speaker 5>Kase Thompson, Ricky bird Song, lutes and they're all wearing

924
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 5>hard hats. You're going to build the program whatever it was,

925
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:11.840
<v Speaker 5>And they did, and they did those crazy media guide

926
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:13.880
<v Speaker 5>covers in those years too, which we all used to

927
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.000
<v Speaker 5>look forward to, sure, sure, and how they were gonna

928
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:16.519
<v Speaker 5>be presented.

929
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, those were definitely the good old days.

930
00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:20.559
<v Speaker 2>People who kind of there's a lot of people who

931
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.280
<v Speaker 2>are not from here and haven't been here for a

932
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.360
<v Speaker 2>long time. They come from somewhere else, so they don't

933
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.320
<v Speaker 2>know what we're talking about, but back and if you're

934
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:29.199
<v Speaker 2>an old school dude who kind of listens now, and

935
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.840
<v Speaker 2>most of them are, they know what those that success

936
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:33.280
<v Speaker 2>felt like.

937
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, I've met a lot of people really through

938
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:38.599
<v Speaker 5>the years who had been here before that. You know, Oh,

939
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 5>I've had my tickets at McHale since the seventies, you know,

940
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:44.519
<v Speaker 5>before Loude arrived and this and that. So they appreciate it,

941
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.920
<v Speaker 5>But you're right, there's a lot of people who probably

942
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:48.960
<v Speaker 5>half our population was not around.

943
00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:50.519
<v Speaker 2>No question, and you could tell with football because they're

944
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:54.000
<v Speaker 2>not from here. They don't have that heart felt love

945
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:56.239
<v Speaker 2>for the team because they're from somewhere else and they

946
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:58.480
<v Speaker 2>go to the games because they like football and college

947
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.039
<v Speaker 2>football whether they're from Wisconsin or Iowa or whatever.

948
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:02.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, you're gonna find that in Arizona. I think in

949
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:06.239
<v Speaker 5>California too. Like we were talking earlier about these Midwestern

950

965

966
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Okay about which part of it it was. It was

967
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.239
<v Speaker 5>kind of near the lobby of the hotel was in

968
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.519
<v Speaker 5>the casino really okay, but we used to go out there.

969
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.039
<v Speaker 5>Maybe in the last five years, maybe they still haven't

970
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.119
<v Speaker 5>do it anymore, but it was. It was a great deal.

971
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh check, No, they have some good They have Moby's

972

973
00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:13.960
<v Speaker 2>pizza place, I don't know what it's called. I don't

974
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:17.679
<v Speaker 2>think it's the rest. They have the u u U

975
00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:20.400
<v Speaker 2>right because the Strongs used to be there, used to

976
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.440
<v Speaker 2>be there, ume. And then the steak place, so it's

977
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:27.880
<v Speaker 2>a good place. There is a taco place. Uh they

978
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:28.360
<v Speaker 2>still have that.

979
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:28.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

980
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they have a little Mexican food there. Yeah. So

981
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:32.639
<v Speaker 3>I used to go get the happy hour out there.

982
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:35.280
<v Speaker 2>And I'm playing there. Eat the Uh. The tortilla soup

983

984
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:40.599
<v Speaker 2>and so the Beigo food too, because you know what

985
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:43.119
<v Speaker 2>a Freedo pie is, Yes, you do.

986
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:44.519
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a lot of people don't.

987
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we used to make those, you did, Okay, So

988
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you know in Santa Bay, it's like a staple and

989
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I make him at my place with my chili and

990
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.639
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah. And there's few people that even know

991
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:58.960
<v Speaker 2>about it because you put chili on pie and put tomatoes. Yeah,

992
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:01.679
<v Speaker 2>they're good and they have a good one took. Yeah,

993
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:02.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I brought it up.

994
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I have to.

995
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:05.039
<v Speaker 5>Come out and visit you guys when you do your

996
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:08.039
<v Speaker 5>show out there. Yeah, yeah, because I've not been I've

997
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:10.159
<v Speaker 5>been in the sports book a few times, but it's uh,

998
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:13.719
<v Speaker 5>I just I'm a chicken when it comes to gambling.

999
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, no, you're smart. Don't do it.

1000
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:17.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell Jay to tell you how to do it.

1001
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:20.039
<v Speaker 2>And now that it's god, I'm not going to be

1002
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:21.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about a whole lot.

1003
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:23.239
<v Speaker 5>Of it's I mean, that's an interesting business too with

1004
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:24.760
<v Speaker 5>you know, everything's on an app.

1005
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Now, sure, but you can't use an app. I guess

1006
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:28.840
<v Speaker 3>when you're in there, right, they have it. They have it.

1007
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:32.280
<v Speaker 2>There's a what do you call the fencing, they're fenced out. Okay,

1008
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:33.760
<v Speaker 2>so you can't use it because they want you to

1009
00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:37.159
<v Speaker 2>use them, but pretty much you could. You could go

1010
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:40.159
<v Speaker 2>anywhere and start doing that stuff, you know, horse racing

1011
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:43.639
<v Speaker 2>or you know fan duel, draft kings or MGM or whatever.

1012
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.800
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy. You know, before you couldn't do it at all.

1013
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Now you can do it anywhere. Yep, most anywhere, because

1014
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:51.880
<v Speaker 2>some states do. You can do it in California. You

1015
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.480
<v Speaker 2>still can't do it. Correct, you still can't do it.

1016
00:44:56.360 --> 00:45:00.639
<v Speaker 2>The one that's amazing to me is the pitch speed

1017
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:01.639
<v Speaker 2>in a baseball game.

1018
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:05.480
<v Speaker 5>You can bet on the speed of the and it's

1019
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.599
<v Speaker 5>a bit hard to do it on TV because it's

1020
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.480
<v Speaker 5>a delay. Oh yeah yeah, so when you're watching your phone,

1021
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:13.440
<v Speaker 5>it's not syncs up with the game. But so I've

1022
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.199
<v Speaker 5>been to a few games, like in the summer, it's like,

1023
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.880
<v Speaker 5>oh wow. I mean you can literally bet on every pit.

1024
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:18.480
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy.

1025
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Like they say with the gamblers, I'm going to bet

1026
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:22.440
<v Speaker 2>on that cockroach, meaning to the roof.

1027
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can bet on anything. It's just crazy.

1028
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Don't do it.

1029
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Don't do it, uh, Dave, you're thinking about maybe being

1030
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:30.280
<v Speaker 2>with me every now and again.

1031
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:35.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, the pay is so good anytime. No,

1032
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:36.079
<v Speaker 3>you don't.

1033
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:39.360
<v Speaker 5>You don't worry about payday. I don't worry about pay.

1034
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:42.639
<v Speaker 5>This is really fun, Honestly, I appreciate the chance.

1035
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1036
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:43.199
<v Speaker 9>No.

1037
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:45.360
<v Speaker 2>In fact, last time you came on and it was

1038
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:46.400

00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:20.559
<v Speaker 5>How often you watch right and you have directed ozeable

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I get it.

1055
00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But sometimes it's good because you can walk in

1056
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.159
<v Speaker 2>the mall and nobody knows who cares who?

1057

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.239
<v Speaker 5>For me when you're in the newspaper business, right, I'm

00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:38.960
<v Speaker 3>You know.

00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Who are you? Yeah, I'm okay with that. I'm okay

1066
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:51.480
<v Speaker 3>with that. What else? Anything else? Were about about three?

1067
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.159

1070
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.719
<v Speaker 2>four four. You can feel free to call in. We

1071
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:03.440
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard anybody today or from anybody today.

1072
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:08.559
<v Speaker 5>Looking forward to football this week, I guess with the

1073
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Cats having a week off and see if they can

1074
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:13.639
<v Speaker 5>kind of recover, rebound or whatever the word is.

1075
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:15.599
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that can't happen is they can get

1076
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:18.639
<v Speaker 2>blown out. They can't look like they did two weeks ago,

1077
00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:21.480
<v Speaker 2>where it's oh, we're here and then we can go home.

1078
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't remember, and I was gonna ask, oh,

1079
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:26.119
<v Speaker 2>your toughest game. I still trying to figure out what

1080
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:29.159
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna ask you. But you went to games

1081
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:32.960
<v Speaker 2>periodically probably one of the games that you hated to

1082
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:35.320
<v Speaker 2>be at, and that's a tough one.

1083
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:39.199
<v Speaker 5>But that's not that's a big result, because it's just

1084
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:41.960
<v Speaker 5>just you knew that it was gonna be tough, boy,

1085
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.519
<v Speaker 5>because there are some of those you knew Loot would.

1086
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Come out and be po or whatever. The football I'm

1087
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:50.920
<v Speaker 3>showing nack of its time.

1088
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.679
<v Speaker 5>I remember, you know, for some reason. It was kind

1089
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:55.800
<v Speaker 5>of late in his career. Was when we played North Caro.

1090
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:57.599
<v Speaker 5>Whenever I was gonna play North Carolina, that was bad.

1091
00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:00.320
<v Speaker 5>And that was when I were destroyed. And that's so

1092
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:02.920
<v Speaker 5>funny because that was one of the last games, one

1093
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:05.480
<v Speaker 5>of the last games of his career, was it. Yeah, yeah,

1094
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.199
<v Speaker 5>it was. What was that postgame situation like, oh, I

1095
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:09.400
<v Speaker 5>don't remember, I don't you know.

1096
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:11.719
<v Speaker 3>I just remember they got their butt kicks.

1097
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:16.239
<v Speaker 5>I was covering Marcus Williams, Marcus william It was twenty fifteen, sixteen, So.

1098
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:18.360
<v Speaker 3>I just weren't many of those. There were very, very

1099
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:19.599
<v Speaker 3>very few. I'll tell you.

1100
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you I can take a hand the Utah

1101
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.719
<v Speaker 2>game in the tournament, yep ninety eight get their ass kicked,

1102
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and who thought that was going to happen? LSU up

1103
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:33.800
<v Speaker 2>in LSU Stroll, Miles Swift and Jabari Smith kicked the

1104
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:35.280
<v Speaker 2>crap out of Arizona.

1105
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:36.800
<v Speaker 3>That was the game.

1106
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:38.719
<v Speaker 2>I think that Ricky Anderson didn't play because he had

1107
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:45.400
<v Speaker 2>done something violation wise. The there's been a few the

1108
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:47.840
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina game, and that was if you if you

1109
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.000
<v Speaker 2>were there. Yeah, the tickets were going for unbelievable prices

1110
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and Arizona didn't play.

1111
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:55.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's funny. Here's my one little anecdote I

1112
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:58.119
<v Speaker 5>remember about that. For some reason, Larry Fitzgerald of the

1113
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.639
<v Speaker 5>Cardinals was in Tucson that weekend doing some kind of

1114
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:01.480
<v Speaker 5>a promotion.

1115
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:05.119
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina game. Yeah, okay, for some cell phone company

1116
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:05.639
<v Speaker 3>or something like that.

1117
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:08.400
<v Speaker 5>We went to interview him. He asked me for tickets,

1118
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:12.039
<v Speaker 5>like Larry, I don't think so, Like Larry, you can't.

1119
00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:13.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think he was there because he did come

1120
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:16.519
<v Speaker 5>to some games eventually. Sure, Barkley was at a few games.

1121
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Barkley was a few games. Don't you remember Donald Trump

1122
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:20.840
<v Speaker 5>going to a game? I do remember that, like the

1123
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:23.519
<v Speaker 5>early nineties. Yeah, I don't know.

1124
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:25.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember who he was with, but he was

1125
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:27.800
<v Speaker 2>leaving early and everybody like Donald.

1126
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Trump, I know who he was with and we'll talk

1127
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:33.360
<v Speaker 5>about that like, oh do you yeah, a female Marlon Maples?

1128
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:35.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, he was married then, but he had

1129
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.920
<v Speaker 5>some friends in town. No, he was with him with her.

1130
00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:39.760
<v Speaker 5>He had to be because it was like early nineties.

1131
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I yah, you can tell me off there because

1132
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I have another story too.

1133
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:46.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, those are the days.

1134
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean Barkley was here now and again obviously the

1135
00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:52.519
<v Speaker 2>former players would come in. You remember when Senator from

1136
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Kansas what was his name, Bob Dole? Bob Dole was here.

1137
00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:57.320
<v Speaker 2>He was Bob Dole was here. I remember I tried

1138
00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:58.119
<v Speaker 2>to put him in my lead.

1139
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.119
<v Speaker 5>Were we playing Kansas? No, No, I don't think so.

1140
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:03.119
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so. It could have been, but I

1141
00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:03.800
<v Speaker 5>don't think so. Huh.

1142
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.760
<v Speaker 3>I remember putting it in my story A game so big.

1143
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Bob Dole is here. Wow, you know, it's it's been fun.

1144
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:13.920
<v Speaker 2>It's been a lot of fun.

1145
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh. Now it's near the end, but it's fun. Yeah,

1146
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:21.880
<v Speaker 3>which is good. Let us be an end somewhere. It'll continue.

1147
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:24.440
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, the profession has changed so much

1148
00:50:24.679 --> 00:50:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that we talked about the restrictions or the you know,

1149
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.599
<v Speaker 2>limitations or the breaking news. You don't get that very

1150
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:33.360
<v Speaker 2>often they kind of break their own news and and

1151
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.079
<v Speaker 2>and and now they tell you, well, you didn't go

1152
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:39.000
<v Speaker 2>through the proper channels. You can still yeah, let me

1153
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:41.480
<v Speaker 2>say you can still do it. People are kind of

1154
00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:44.039
<v Speaker 2>afraid to do it for whatever reason.

1155
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:45.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you look at the stuff on on on

1156
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Twitter and on threads and those instagrams. It's like no

1157
00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:51.000
<v Speaker 5>one's regulating that. They just put out stuff and they

1158
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, if they have the story, if they have something,

1159
00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:54.239
<v Speaker 5>that's just the way.

1160
00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:56.000
<v Speaker 2>It works, right, Right, We'll look at the story now

1161
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:57.760
<v Speaker 2>with the with the running back from New Mexico. Right,

1162
00:50:58.000 --> 00:50:59.679
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee you a lot of people know about it,

1163
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.840
<v Speaker 2>and I haven't reported it. Yeah, you know, they're just

1164
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:04.960
<v Speaker 2>waiting it out to see what happens. At some point

1165
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.079
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have to say he's not going to be available, yeah,

1166
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:09.199
<v Speaker 2>because why he's not available?

1167
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:10.679
<v Speaker 3>Right? Yeah.

1168
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.239
<v Speaker 5>But it was interesting too, and you saw it how

1169
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:15.960
<v Speaker 5>it's almost like there was like a line in the

1170
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:19.079
<v Speaker 5>sand where all of a sudden, the schools started to

1171
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:20.400
<v Speaker 5>control their messaging.

1172
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Here here it came with Greg Burns team because I

1173
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:26.519
<v Speaker 2>was still kind of in the picture doing that, and

1174
00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:29.320
<v Speaker 2>then Sean Sean kind of made it even more difficult

1175
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.480
<v Speaker 2>because he would bring this a couple of players in

1176
00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:34.880
<v Speaker 2>and Sean didn't like the media anyway, but Greg kind

1177
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:35.760
<v Speaker 2>of made it more corporate.

1178
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, and you were still I was still I

1179
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:40.639
<v Speaker 5>was still playing that, but it was it was difficult

1180
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:43.119
<v Speaker 5>all of a sudden. You go from you know, having

1181
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:45.719
<v Speaker 5>full access to players, you know, on a Tuesday, and

1182
00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:46.320
<v Speaker 5>then nothing.

1183
00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:48.440
<v Speaker 2>And I talk about this often because I think that

1184
00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Loot let his guys grow up and talking to the media,

1185
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:53.079
<v Speaker 2>seeing how it was like, whether he liked it or not.

1186
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:55.679
<v Speaker 2>But that's why you have so many guys doing radio

1187
00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:57.800
<v Speaker 2>and TV exactly. They know how to do it and

1188
00:51:57.840 --> 00:51:59.039
<v Speaker 2>talk and you know.

1189
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:01.039
<v Speaker 5>They were good from the moment they came to campus exactly,

1190
00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:01.960
<v Speaker 5>let's go, we gotta go.

1191
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:04.039
<v Speaker 3>Thanks to Dave very much. Sure, thank you, y.

1192
00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:05.199
<v Speaker 10>They
