Speaker 1: When the sports page where the Orlando Sentinel at FM
Speaker 1: ninety six to nine, the games Mike the Bulldog beyond
Speaker 1: you on jr R. All right, I believe we got
Speaker 1: the Bulldog on the horn. I got to ask you
Speaker 1: a question right now the gate here. Were you surprised
Speaker 1: with the announcement yesterday that college game days Lee Corso
Speaker 1: sendoff is going to be at Ohio State and not
Speaker 1: the Florida State game on August thirtieth?
Speaker 2: I did not even see that. Why are they doing that?
Speaker 1: That's said while they knew that his last you know,
Speaker 1: game day was going to be that week one, and
Speaker 1: it was those two games that were under consideration, and
Speaker 1: they announced that they were going to be in Columbus. Wow,
Speaker 1: for the.
Speaker 2: Ohio Ohio Ohio State play. They got Texas and Florida
Speaker 2: State plays Alabama. Yeah. Interesting something. All Florida State was
Speaker 2: to Florida State was two and ten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know the cours of connection.
Speaker 3: I just you know, okay, all right, yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: and living here in Florida and like Mary.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyway, by the way, there's a there's a
Speaker 2: rat controversy. Do you see this lunch down in South
Speaker 2: Florida where they like to throw plastic rats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they take seats back years from when one was
Speaker 1: killed in the locker room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the players. Yeah, I guess there was
Speaker 2: a back in nineteen ninety five. There was a big
Speaker 2: rat running through the old locker room and all these
Speaker 2: big strong hockey players were acting like a bunch of girls,
Speaker 2: jumping up on their you know, locker room benches to
Speaker 2: get away from it. Players. Yah, took a stick and
Speaker 2: just shot it right against the wall. Hell yeah, slapshot.
Speaker 2: That's on the guys. Yes, shot of the blood splattered everywhere.
Speaker 2: And I guess I guess the story got out and
Speaker 2: then yeah, the plastic rats. Yeah. So after they clabbered
Speaker 2: Edmonton the other night, a rat was thrown out on
Speaker 2: the ice. It skids across the ice and there's a
Speaker 2: trail of what looks like blood. So somebody people were
Speaker 2: like that somebody actually throw a real rat right onto
Speaker 2: the ice. It turns out they strapped some ketchup ketchup
Speaker 2: to the rat. It was bleeding.
Speaker 1: Wow. Hey, I'm glad you brought up the panthers because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this story. And I
Speaker 1: have the video that goes along with this. One of
Speaker 1: the local stations down in South Florida is out covering
Speaker 1: the game they beat down the other night, and they
Speaker 1: found this young girl, nine year old girl named Sophia.
Speaker 1: Sophia who's a huge Panthers fan. They talked to her
Speaker 1: before and then got her thoughts after the game.
Speaker 2: You got to hear this fighting.
Speaker 1: It was really good and I really liked how they
Speaker 1: punched each other along. Yeah, after her favorite part of
Speaker 1: coming to Panthers games fighting.
Speaker 2: Good job. So she's your typical hockey fan, crazy them rights.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter if you're a nine year old girl or
Speaker 2: a thirty five year old man. That's your favorite part
Speaker 2: of the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to see her, she's she's cute
Speaker 1: as a bus jersey on represent and then bringing that
Speaker 1: bringing the heat with that. Got that on our Facebook
Speaker 1: page if you want to put a smile on your faces.
Speaker 2: For There's also another controversy involving the Panthers. There are
Speaker 2: some other franchises in the league that say, uh, Florida
Speaker 2: having no state income tax is the reason why the
Speaker 2: Panthers and the Lightning are able to sustain talent. Oh
Speaker 2: shut up, that's what they're saying, Oh, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Here's an idea. Why didn't you convince whatever team you
Speaker 1: root for in whatever state that has income tax to
Speaker 1: maybe reconsider it.
Speaker 2: Gary Bettman, the commissioner, got a little huffy the other
Speaker 2: day when he was asked about would the next CBA
Speaker 2: include subsidies for teams that have state income taxes come
Speaker 2: so they can compete south wise? Hey, I don't think
Speaker 2: it's so. I'm not saying they should do that, but
Speaker 2: I do think in hockey more than any other sport.
Speaker 2: You know, NBA players make so damn much money, but
Speaker 2: hockey players they make a lot of money too, but
Speaker 2: not to the to the extent that baseball players make,
Speaker 2: and not to the extent that NBA players make. And
Speaker 2: here's the other thing. Hockey players during the offseason, many
Speaker 2: hockey players are big golfers. Because it's sort of the
Speaker 2: same swing, you know, the slap shot in swinging a
Speaker 2: golf club. Many hockey players are big golfers. So I
Speaker 2: think when you combine the weather, the fact that you
Speaker 2: can play golf year round in Florida, and the no
Speaker 2: state income text, I do think it's an advantage.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what I think. It's sour grapes. It's
Speaker 3: people that live up in Canada that have nothing. Sorry, Canadians,
Speaker 3: I love all of you. It's not I'm saying the
Speaker 3: people that are bitch mothers. It's that they live up
Speaker 3: in Canada and they're getting beat by Florida team year
Speaker 3: after a year.
Speaker 2: Well, listen to what Panthers star Brad Marshan was asking
Speaker 2: about this. He's from Canada, he played in Boston for
Speaker 2: a decade. His quote was, Hey, the Canadian teams, most
Speaker 2: of them have an extremely high tax rate fifty two
Speaker 2: to fifty four percent versus a team like in Florida.
Speaker 2: It's like a he said, it's like a fifteen percent difference.
Speaker 3: It's a different country. Come on, man, it's not really
Speaker 3: the United States of Canada. We didn't really take them
Speaker 3: in dog, it's just.
Speaker 2: Taking I'm just telling you what the story is. I'm
Speaker 2: not advocating anything. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1: How about how about Aaron Rodgers has been married for
Speaker 1: a few months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aaron Rodgers had his big Ota press conference yesterday.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers the only man who can turn his marriage
Speaker 2: into a conspiracy theory, right because because yes, he announced
Speaker 2: he got married, but he hasn't said who the identity
Speaker 2: of his wife. It's a tree, it's a it's a
Speaker 2: it's a redwood. This guy he trive balls.
Speaker 3: He was tripping balls in the redwood forest and married
Speaker 3: a tree.
Speaker 2: I bet you yeah. I don't know, but yeah, he's
Speaker 2: become so weird and so ec I don't know whether
Speaker 2: he's gonna I don't think it's gonna work out in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: But he said the reason he signed what the Steelers
Speaker 2: was it's good for his soul. All right.
Speaker 1: Uh, we got basketball playoffs today, NBA Finals, Doggie.
Speaker 2: Game three tonight. Finally, after a three night layoff, we
Speaker 2: get Game three. Oklahoma City versus Indiana back in Indiana tonight.
Speaker 2: Series tied one one. We'll see what happens. Can Indiana
Speaker 2: pull off another another upset. I think Oklahoma City is
Speaker 2: gonna run him out of the gym from here on out,
Speaker 2: but we shall see. I hope, I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: I would like to see a seven game series, but
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening. Alright.
