Speaker 1: The sports page with The Orlando Sentinel and FM ninety
Speaker 1: six to nine.
Speaker 2: In the games, Mike the Bulldog beyond you.
Speaker 1: On JRR Bulldog Sports Page, brought you by Coffin and
Speaker 1: Lynd injury Attorneys. Good morning, Bulldog. What's happening, brother?
Speaker 2: What's happening? Did you guys not see it? Last night?
Speaker 2: The NBA Cup?
Speaker 3: The Milwaukee Bucks win the NBA Cup. Yannas scores twenty
Speaker 3: six nineteen rebounds, he wins the MVP of the entire tournament.
Speaker 3: They take down the Oklahoma City Thunder ninety seven to
Speaker 3: eighty one. So the Bucks players got the five hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars apiece for winning the NBA Cup.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you guys.
Speaker 1: Probably going to be a lot of people across the
Speaker 1: country missing work today from staying up last night to
Speaker 1: watch that with the Cup parties and whatnot.
Speaker 3: In fact, the Bucks, I guess the NBA had a
Speaker 3: bunch of crates of champagne delivered to the Bucks locker room. Okay,
Speaker 3: they remained unopened. I figured they didn't even open up
Speaker 3: to them. That's jump change, man, that's a that's a
Speaker 3: week of weeks of work if that.
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Uh let's see.
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, I know you guys are both
Speaker 3: UCF grads. Frosty and the Grinch are getting together this Christmas.
Speaker 3: H Scott Frost has hired new defensive coordinator Alex Grinch yesterday,
Speaker 3: So you have Frosty and Grinch together on the same
Speaker 3: coaching staff.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, guys.
Speaker 3: That UCF, since they're getting into the Christmas spirit with
Speaker 3: Frosty and Grinch, they should hire former West Virginia running
Speaker 3: back Noel Divine as their backfield coach.
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 1: Why not this Grinch guy. He's been around some colleges
Speaker 1: here in the last five six years or so.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He was a defensive coordina at Washington State, Oklahoma
Speaker 3: and USC. He was under Lincoln Riley. He got fired
Speaker 3: at USC, was at Wisconsin last year as the safeties
Speaker 3: coach and the co defensive coordinator. He's got a pretty
Speaker 3: good track record, although he did get fired at USC
Speaker 3: because their defense was terrible while he was there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think he's a decent hire.
Speaker 1: So Michael Vick ends up landing at Norfolk State after
Speaker 1: we got wind that he was interviewing out at Sacramento
Speaker 1: State as well. So Michael Vick now a college football
Speaker 1: head coach.
Speaker 3: Yeah, supposedly it came down to Michael Vick and another
Speaker 3: highly sought after Canada. I'm hearing it was a real
Speaker 3: dog fight to see who got that job. Dog fight.
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess there's been enough time to let that
Speaker 1: joke fly. Yeah, especially coming from the dog.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we now know that college football has really gone
Speaker 3: to the dogs with Michael Vick.
Speaker 4: Is he spent some time yesterday searching for grants jokes
Speaker 4: and finding the third person to hire with Noel.
Speaker 1: Boy, you better ask the Sentinel for a few extra
Speaker 1: lines of copy to fill in those jokes today for
Speaker 1: your calling.
Speaker 2: Kay, good lord, quick dog. Okay.
Speaker 3: By the way, the NBA is changing the format of
Speaker 3: their All Star Game.
Speaker 2: Did you see this story?
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do?
Speaker 3: They're not gonna have a traditional All Star game anymore.
Speaker 3: Starting this year, They're gonna have an All Star Tournament.
Speaker 3: They're gonna have four teams, four teams, three games, a
Speaker 3: one night tournament, three teams of eight all stars apeathe
Speaker 3: a piece, and the fourth team is gonna be the
Speaker 3: winner of the Rising Stars Challenge for first and second
Speaker 3: year players. So They're gonna have that Rising Stars Challenge
Speaker 3: on Friday. The winner of that tournament is going to
Speaker 3: go into the NBA All Star Tournament.
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be I think it does.
Speaker 1: The NBA have the same marketing team as Pizza Hut,
Speaker 1: throwing everything out where they come up with a new gimmick.
Speaker 1: It seems like every you know, other week to just
Speaker 1: throw up.
Speaker 2: I like this, gimme.
Speaker 3: I think the teams will if the games are shorter,
Speaker 3: I think the teams will be more competitive, go after
Speaker 3: each other. It's more like a more like an AAU tournament,
Speaker 3: if you will. And the and these guys all come
Speaker 3: from an AAU background.
Speaker 2: So doubt I'm watching no offense.
Speaker 3: So uh PGA Tour of America has announced that our
Speaker 3: Ryder Cup players on the US team are now going
Speaker 3: to be paid, which has created a little bit of
Speaker 3: a controversy in the golf world. Do you think our
Speaker 3: Ryder Cup players should be paid to represent their country?
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 2: I mean sure, playing their time?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 3: Okay, the European players don't get paid, well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they can follow the trends, you know, let
Speaker 1: us be the leaders in this area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, our guys are gonna get paid no matter what,
Speaker 4: aren't they That's right, that's right, the American League. Then
Speaker 4: another coach came out yesterday, another college football coach came
Speaker 4: out and ripped the college football calendar. Rett lash Leady,
Speaker 4: coach of SMU, is in the playoffs this weekend.
Speaker 2: You know, the transfer portals open.
Speaker 3: Now. Penn State's backup quarterback who plays a lot, he's
Speaker 3: in the portal now. He's not gonna play in the
Speaker 3: playoff game Saturday. So all the college coaches is ripping
Speaker 3: the portal being open during the postseason.
Speaker 2: It is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You have to admit it causes a lot of probably.
Speaker 1: I mean, look what happened with Marshall. They left with
Speaker 1: not enough players to even play their game. The Bulls
Speaker 1: are suffering now. College football playoff teams are suffering. This
Speaker 1: Penn State backup quarterback. He's sort of a slash type player.
Speaker 1: He plays a lot for them. They have at you know,
Speaker 1: a package of plays. He's helped him win some games
Speaker 1: this year. And he's not going to play in the
Speaker 1: college football playoff because he's you know, going to a
Speaker 1: new school next year. And he said, hey, I have
Speaker 1: no choice. So you guys are right, though it shouldn't
Speaker 1: be open during this now. All right, bulldog, understand you're
