Speaker 1: Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio. Thursday. How quickly the
Speaker 1: passes week is movie June the fifth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I'm a nervous wreck. Got my golf outing on Monday.
Speaker 1: The weather doesn't look favorable. I'm upset about it. But
Speaker 1: it's an outdoor sport and we have to endure. But
Speaker 1: welcome to EVE Sports Radio. Well numbers five zero two,
Speaker 1: five seven one seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two
Speaker 1: five seven one seventy nine hundred. Got Shannon behind the glass.
Speaker 1: We've got great guests calling in today. Got my younger son,
Speaker 1: Anthony's on another line. Aunt, how are you now?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great this morning.
Speaker 1: Good good, I'm not aunt. The weather's supposed to be
Speaker 1: bad on Monday. I'm upset. Anyway, I'll have to turn
Speaker 1: into a meteologist and work this out. I have to
Speaker 1: call God. That's what I'm have to do. But and
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to do today. We've got national news.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you start. We're gonna preface it with this.
Speaker 1: I want everyone to listen to. You were talking about
Speaker 1: Niger Kennedy yesterday, the great pitcher that transferred from Stanford
Speaker 1: to Texas. Take that defeated Oklahoma five or six times
Speaker 1: in a row softball champions right, and what transpired last night?
Speaker 1: What happened last night, Anthony, before we play our tape,
Speaker 1: What did she do that was just unbelievable. No one
Speaker 1: could believe it.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, something that you wouldn't expect from a
Speaker 2: player for caliber. Obviously, in their game last night, they
Speaker 2: were up one l going into the bottom of the
Speaker 2: six and obviously Text had two outs, two batters on,
Speaker 2: and she was trying to walk Reese Atwood, which is
Speaker 2: one of the best hitters.
Speaker 3: She's a catcher.
Speaker 2: They're trying to intentionally walk her. So she threw three balls.
Speaker 3: But the first three she threw.
Speaker 2: They were almost kind of they almost looked like strikes,
Speaker 2: which kind of threw me off.
Speaker 1: They almost did, they almost did exactly.
Speaker 3: I was like there, I was like, they're a little
Speaker 3: like they're a little close to be a be a ball.
Speaker 2: And usually in balls like you know do like Bajor
Speaker 2: League baseball, college baseball, they just stand over.
Speaker 3: To the side away from the play and they throw it.
Speaker 2: Yes, women looked completely different, like the catcher just stood
Speaker 2: straight up and down right behind the place.
Speaker 3: So the first three. She didn't swing the fourth one.
Speaker 2: I guess Resatte was says she's just gonna go for
Speaker 2: it and take a risk, and she swung and she
Speaker 2: hit it and she got an RBI doubled taking. Texas
Speaker 2: takes the lead up to one going into the top
Speaker 2: of the seventh and Texas Texts couldn't get it done
Speaker 2: when it came to batting down, and you know, in
Speaker 2: that clutch moment, and that's how Textas stealed the deal, honestly,
Speaker 2: And it was off of Loki. I don't want to
Speaker 2: say kind of an accident, but it kind of was.
Speaker 1: It was just a mistake. Well, let's let's listen to Channon.
Speaker 1: I've got some audio from you all I need you
Speaker 1: to listen to. It was just crazy and exactly it
Speaker 1: was just not executed properly. A attempted walk that was
Speaker 1: not executed properly. Let's hear Channing.
Speaker 4: I can't tell you how happy I am that I
Speaker 4: am not going to start this conversation with a question
Speaker 4: about obstruction. Thank goodness, we get to it.
Speaker 1: We're gonn to get to it.
Speaker 4: But let's start with Atwood. Remarkable at that and I
Speaker 4: thought it was interesting watching those pitches for an intentional walk.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of had a lot of the plate,
Speaker 4: it felt like, and for Atwood to have the guts
Speaker 4: to think, I'm gonna take my shot. What'd you think
Speaker 4: of that in real time, Jessica Scott.
Speaker 5: I think the irony of Nija Kennedy being the pitcher
Speaker 5: that only knows how to light up the strike zone
Speaker 5: couldn't throw a ball in the biggest moment of her career.
Speaker 5: I mean, she's never had an intentional walk. She dominates
Speaker 5: the game. Reese Atwood recognize that first two pitches, She's like, huh,
Speaker 5: these are a little bit more metior than what you're
Speaker 5: used to, so usually you're seeing the catcher other batter's box.
Speaker 5: I've been intentionally walked. We've all seen exactly where that
Speaker 5: pitch is supposed to end up. And Reese Atwood she
Speaker 5: just told Holly wrote three to zero. She decided to
Speaker 5: take a risk and swing at that. Scott, you don't
Speaker 5: see it. I just find it ironic that Nyja Kennedy,
Speaker 5: of all the things that she can do, she doesn't
Speaker 5: know how to throw a ball in one of the
Speaker 5: biggest moments of her career.
Speaker 4: Savon and Kennedy.
Speaker 1: It lives up to what you think it might be.
Speaker 4: And anytime you have a championship game, a lot of
Speaker 4: what happens early and you can.
Speaker 1: Cut right there. So Anthony just a mistake, Yes, Nija
Speaker 1: Kennedy claimed it. Anthony. After the game, she said, that
Speaker 1: was my mistake, no one else's. I cost my team.
Speaker 1: I have to do better, no excuses. She had never
Speaker 1: had an intentional walk, Anthony, but there were still no excuses.
Speaker 1: She accepted full responsibility, which is all you can do.
Speaker 1: I made mistakes as an athlete. We all have. That's
Speaker 1: all she can do and she'll have to move on.
Speaker 1: But it's funny. Van Pelt was talking about obstruction Anthony,
Speaker 1: which would have been the biggest play of the game
Speaker 1: if that wouldn't have happened with the intentional walk. They
Speaker 1: called obstruction Anthony on Texas Texas Second Basement, saying that
Speaker 1: her foot was in the path every player running from
Speaker 1: first to second before she caught the ball. She tagged
Speaker 1: her out. It wasn't even close, Anthony. It wasn't close.
Speaker 1: But they went back and reviewed the tape, and that's
Speaker 1: why Van Pelt was talking about we're not talking about
Speaker 1: obstruction when they should have Anthony, that should have been
Speaker 1: an out, but the rules stated you could not have
Speaker 1: any part of your body between first and second base
Speaker 1: when a runner is running without the ball, and she
Speaker 1: had not caught the ball yet. But Anthony, the runner
Speaker 1: wasn't within ten feet of the plate either. It wasn't close.
Speaker 1: So a lot of crazy plays last night. Watch women's softball.
Speaker 1: It is exciting, period, point blank. Now hit me with
Speaker 1: the rest of the national news, Anthony, before I get
Speaker 1: into who my guests will be in about four or
Speaker 1: five minutes. Cat fans are gonna love this person. Love him.
Speaker 1: I do too. He's a great guy. But we give
Speaker 1: each other all kind of grief. You talk about cats
Speaker 1: and cards. Oh it's a cat and dogfight. You just wait, Anthony.
Speaker 1: Hit him with the national news, of course.
Speaker 3: And obviously can't forget about obviously. We had our first
Speaker 3: game of the Stanley Cup last night. Florida Panthers. They
Speaker 3: gave up a tough loss last night, tough loss.
Speaker 2: They were up. They were up to to one in
Speaker 2: the end of the first in the first period. Obviously,
Speaker 2: going into the second they had scored again, so did
Speaker 2: the Edmonton Oilers.
Speaker 3: Taking the lead up to three to two.
Speaker 2: The Oilers did surge back late in the third period,
Speaker 2: with six minutes ago they scored Beckham scored to tie
Speaker 2: it up three to three, and then they went into overtime.
Speaker 2: Their overtime went almost to the very end.
Speaker 3: The only thing that cost to.
Speaker 2: Florida Panthers is one of their players had gotten to
Speaker 2: the penalty box and Edmonton had a power play for
Speaker 2: two minutes and in that power play they scored within
Speaker 2: like forty five seconds of that power play, and they
Speaker 2: pretty much won an overtime four to three, giving them
Speaker 2: one of the lead in the first in the first
Speaker 2: game of the series. Given that four to three, four
Speaker 2: to three win at home, which was which is tough
Speaker 2: because Panthers had them, but they couldn't they couldn't feel
Speaker 2: the deal off in the third period, and then overtime
Speaker 2: they just they put themselves in the hole given them
Speaker 2: that power play. Obviously, Edmonton's got some of the best boys.
Speaker 2: If you've ever if you've never watched hockey, you need
Speaker 2: to watch Conomy David, because Commick David is insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a real deal, no question, he's the real deal.
Speaker 1: I mean, just people don't know. I've never gotten into
Speaker 1: it until I started a show. But boy, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of good sports going on right now. Anthony got
Speaker 1: the Open coming up next week. I mean, we've got
Speaker 1: hockey and basketball championships, Softball baseball starts this weekend super
Speaker 1: Regionals with Louisville. I mean, we've got a ton of
Speaker 1: things going on for us to watch and be interested in.
Speaker 1: So makes it easy on talk radio, that's for sure,
Speaker 1: really easy. And what's going on with that basketball side tonight?
Speaker 1: What's going on? I mean MVP Shay Gildicks Alexander former
Speaker 1: University Kentucky player, I mean, first MVP ever from University
Speaker 1: of Kentucky, which is amazing to me, out of all
Speaker 1: the great players. I didn't believe that's stat to be correct.
Speaker 1: But still we got a great game tonight. What do
Speaker 1: you think happens? Okay, see in a route.
Speaker 2: I think the pace will surprised, and I think this
Speaker 2: first game be a little bit closer than we expect.
Speaker 2: Obviously it is at the Thunder. The Thunder haven't played
Speaker 2: a game in almost probably a week and a half.
Speaker 2: Pacers haven't played in about a week. The spread is
Speaker 2: nine and a half.
Speaker 3: Obviously on this game is okay, see favored, but the
Speaker 3: total is a high scoring total.
Speaker 2: The total in this game is over two hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty total points between both teams, so it's supposed to
Speaker 2: be a high scoring affair. I think Indiana will be
Speaker 2: able to still keep up to a certain pace. I
Speaker 2: think once it gets present, I think late in the
Speaker 2: late mid third quarter.
Speaker 3: Okay see, you'll start taking off of them. The only
Speaker 3: reason why I.
Speaker 2: Say this because the Pacers do have evenly distributed scoring,
Speaker 2: which gives them a better chance than other teams. So
Speaker 2: they can't just key in on one person, any person
Speaker 2: in their starting lineup to give them twenty five to
Speaker 2: thirty points. And we've seen it.
Speaker 3: Everybody on the team has won for that one night.
Speaker 2: But they just had that superstar night. So that is
Speaker 2: the only difficult thing about guarding the Pacers. But obviously
Speaker 2: we do know that it's Thunder are the number one
Speaker 2: defensive team and probably the number one offensive scoring team
Speaker 2: across the board between bench and starting five, so it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a tall task at hand obviously for the Pacers.
Speaker 2: The only thing I hate to say is Andrew Neimhart
Speaker 2: has played his part defensively obviously, guarding against Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 2: a couple other matchups that they've had in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I'm just a little fifty to fifty when it comes
Speaker 3: to Tyres Halliburton's defensive ability. That's the only thing that
Speaker 3: I just I'm not sold on this defensivebility.
Speaker 2: He is gonna be a mismatch because I don't know
Speaker 2: if he's They're gonna put him on SGA.
Speaker 3: They're gonna put him. They probably gonnaut him on with
Speaker 3: logan doors.
Speaker 2: They'll put him on logan doors just because he's their
Speaker 2: their weakest offensive threat. But at the same time, he
Speaker 2: is physical though you know he's he's sixty five twenty pounds.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, he's taking straight.
Speaker 2: They're gonna make's gonna crash the board.
Speaker 3: He's gonna crash the boards on him hard.
Speaker 1: Yes, They're gonna make Haliburton to fit. So Anthony, look,
Speaker 1: this is what we've got, guys. We have got one
Speaker 1: of the Kentucky Greats National Championship. Tony and Mike they're
Speaker 1: both ready and Mike Vine we're gonna go to break.

Speaker 1: all the things. I'll see you again somewhere in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Will bump into each other. What's going on and Mike
Speaker 1: doing together that we need to get out.
Speaker 3: We're working on the charity golf tournamers the uk U
Speaker 3: of L Celebrity Golf Channels September fifteenth in Louisville at
Speaker 3: Big Big Spring Country Club to do to raise moneys
Speaker 3: for three different charities. One is going to be TDDA
Speaker 3: with Tony Basketball Academy that I've been running for eight
Speaker 3: years in Atlanta. We're going to do something with nor
Speaker 3: Children Hospital. You know, I always like to get back
Speaker 3: to the kids and mostly hospital because I have two
Speaker 3: daughters that have sickle cell disease. And our third charity
Speaker 3: would be the Atlanta Children's Hospital where my daughter's probably
Speaker 3: from as from maybe eight nine months. Have always gone there,
Speaker 3: you know, when they had to have when they had
Speaker 3: sickle cell crisis and just clen do blood work. So
Speaker 3: just one of those situations where I've always wanted to
Speaker 3: do something with Atlanta childon Hospital, which is actually like
Speaker 3: five minutes from where my daughters live now in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: But both are grown women doing well. My oldest twenty six,
Speaker 3: she's working for law firm in New York, and my
Speaker 3: youngest she's at Xavier, Louisiana. And then my mother daughter
Speaker 3: he Revers Oklahoma. So all the girls are doing well.
Speaker 3: But just you know, so many kids come through those
Speaker 3: hospitals that we don't know about and deal with the
Speaker 3: trial and triviulations. So we just want to help them
Speaker 3: have the cause. And also with about basketball academy, you
Speaker 3: know some kids that can't afford it. Mike has done
Speaker 3: a tremendous job over the years. I'm just always donating
Speaker 3: whenever I've called, you know, uniforms afforded, so has always
Speaker 3: been uh, you know, just one of those people that
Speaker 3: you know, cares about the community, cares about kids. So
Speaker 3: Mike has always been there. So you know, we just
Speaker 3: decided last year actually a summer league. You know, let's
Speaker 3: put something together and see if we can invite the
Speaker 3: former UK players U of ailed players, which I'm hoping
Speaker 3: we can get some more you availed players. So I'm
Speaker 3: going to put that on your on your plate to
Speaker 3: help us bring in more.
Speaker 1: A little bit challenge out. Okay, now we'll do that, Mike.
Speaker 1: You speak a little bit about of course, you know
Speaker 1: that I named the Simmons College Golf outing after his dad, Tony.
Speaker 1: You don't know that, but I've named it after her Vine.
Speaker 1: Herb and I used to talk about business things, where
Speaker 1: to put my money? How this is the truth. I
Speaker 1: bought my new my first new SOB from Herb nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty three. A car service wrecks it driving it from
Speaker 1: Salt Lake to Louisville. True story, Tony, true story. Wow,
Speaker 1: they wreck it, okay and almost totally, and I run
Speaker 1: back in to buy me another new one. You know,
Speaker 1: I just got a new contract. And Herb pulled me
Speaker 1: in his little office off of Shelbyboro, Road and it
Speaker 1: was only Bluegrass and Lincoln Mercury and he had the
Speaker 1: little SOB sitting on the side. He says, you like
Speaker 1: the car by I said, I do. I love cars.
Speaker 1: He says, well, we're going to change your mindset. That's
Speaker 1: who Herb was. He says, no more new cars. He says,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what and how we're going
Speaker 1: to do this. And Herb had me the minority program.
Speaker 1: If I wouldn't have got into coaching, you'd have been
Speaker 1: calling me in the car business because that's what I
Speaker 1: wanted to do. So it's just been part of the
Speaker 1: Buying family for a long time. And then Mike just
Speaker 1: stepped in right after that. He and Jim Haynes are
Speaker 1: just the best. But Mike, you know you've done always
Speaker 1: given so why, I mean, just what make you this way?
Speaker 1: Every player knows you. You've given me all the context.
Speaker 1: Why did you get so involved in sports business and
Speaker 1: helping Mike?
Speaker 6: I would say, primarily because you know, growing up, basketball
Speaker 6: was was the thing to me and I was I
Speaker 6: enjoyed it so much. And uh and and fortunately all
Speaker 6: these great people that played at the UK and U
Speaker 6: of L grew up when I was growing up, and
Speaker 6: it meant a lot to me. And you know, there's
Speaker 6: not a there's not a better avenue out there, uh
Speaker 6: than sports to uh keep you, keep you into the
Speaker 6: game and keep you focused. And you know, you know
Speaker 6: why people like Tony Delk are so successful after sports
Speaker 6: because they're they're so determined and they're, uh, they just
Speaker 6: get it, just like you get it. And you know,
Speaker 6: nothing happens without hard work. And uh, you know, you
Speaker 6: just you can't say no. We were sitting at the
Speaker 6: NBA Summer League and I, uh, one of my friends
Speaker 6: was there, and Tony was there, working uh for the Mavericks.
Speaker 6: And I look at my friend and I look at
Speaker 6: Tony and I said, Tony, this guy's a Nick Brown,
Speaker 6: who's a from the Brown Barnstable the Brown part of
Speaker 6: the Brown Barnstable family. You know, he comes up with
Speaker 6: some smart idea. He says, you know, instead of me,
Speaker 6: and you are not instead of but he says, you know,
Speaker 6: you and I we we write checks and we help
Speaker 6: people out. He says, let's make this thing a heck
Speaker 6: of a lot bigger, and let's let's give more. Let's
Speaker 6: make more money to help underprivileged children and the hospitals,
Speaker 6: and and he says, let's have a golf outing, and yeah,
Speaker 6: and so all of a sudden, I'm the one doing
Speaker 6: the work having a golf outing, which is totally fine.
Speaker 6: It's it's not hard to you know, when you bring
Speaker 6: up to the the benefits or the benefactors of this
Speaker 6: event and you're dealing with Tony and other people, it
Speaker 6: just it makes it enjoyable. And you're right, Jerry, I
Speaker 6: got to get to the Louisville list longer. Uh, you know,
Speaker 6: we're working on it. Yesterday we picked up Herbert Crook,
Speaker 6: we picked up the Bradford Smith.
Speaker 1: We'll get Scooter. I'll get Scooter, trust me, we'll get Scooter.

Speaker 1: Play.
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, coach, Coach, he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 3: So anyway, you know, he's always one of those happy,
Speaker 3: uh good person. He's done a lot for so many people,
Speaker 3: and you know, spoke with him and gave him the date,
Speaker 3: so he should he should be one of one of
Speaker 3: the participants coming in. I wish we could get more coaches,
Speaker 3: but we can because it would be a violation with
Speaker 3: because we do have basketball players. So that's there's a
Speaker 3: reason why there's not a mark Tolee, maybe Alan ed
Speaker 3: Worth of Scott Patricks, who are all any coaching ranks.
Speaker 3: So you know, if if these n cua A rules
Speaker 3: change within the next probably twelve months, you know we'll
Speaker 3: try to bring more coaches that that on both sicks.
Speaker 3: You know, you got Peyton see who's working with university glove.
Speaker 1: So we do have to stretches scratch yes, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really okay, okay, yeah, he is really good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so don't let him.
Speaker 1: Tony will be ready. We have our Cardinals right now.
Speaker 1: Here's the only problem, guy, I might have to do
Speaker 1: a little recruiting. I might have to bring my boys in.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. All I'm saying is for the gallery.
Speaker 1: When they line up along the fairway, look out, you
Speaker 1: might get hit because we have to sell tickets for this.
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 1: This is that's versus Cardinals. Guys. I want you to
Speaker 1: understand we're going to be challenging the Kentucky players. This
Speaker 1: is the new Ryder Cup. We have to make this
Speaker 1: a series, Tony, the new Riders. We can. I like that.
Speaker 3: I like that. You know, we'll, like you said, well,
Speaker 3: we'll go back and forth. We'll start we'll we'll start
Speaker 3: a Louisville and you know, hopefully next year we can
Speaker 3: even get it in Lectionlan and we'll go back and
Speaker 3: forth and you know, we can make this, like you said,
Speaker 3: like a ride and stuff. But you know, it's so fun,
Speaker 3: you know, to see so many of us get back together,
Speaker 3: you know, and just like I said, this basketball is
Speaker 3: a fraternity. And when you have someone like Mike that's
Speaker 3: connected on both sides, you know, he's able to contact
Speaker 3: many of us because of you know, just the relationships.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: You know, all business and all charity events are about
Speaker 3: relationships and good people doing something for a great calls.
Speaker 3: So we have the right minds, the right people, and
Speaker 3: we're doing it for the right the right causes, you know.
Speaker 3: And that's a lot of kids are involved, and we're
Speaker 3: trying to help help those kids who, like you said, underprivileged,
Speaker 3: kids who are who are sick, and we don't know
Speaker 3: about their parents who spend countless hours and missing many
Speaker 3: days of work to spend time with their kids, and
Speaker 3: you know, and and most most time we never hear
Speaker 3: about it. But just knowing, knowing how simple see these
Speaker 3: have respected you know, my family, you know, and my daughters,
Speaker 3: you know, we were always in when there's something to
Speaker 3: give back to kids.
Speaker 1: There you go, such a painful disease. I hate to
Speaker 1: hear that. God, such a painful People have no idea
Speaker 1: how painful sickle cell is. When those seals are Gosh,
Speaker 1: very painful. I'll be praying for your daughters I'm glad
Speaker 1: that they're doing well too. Here's the deal, though, Mike,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you wrap it up at first, Anthony,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be recruiting you and Frankie because I don't
Speaker 1: know if I can get enough of my Cardinals don't
Speaker 1: play a lot of golf. But I'll be recruiting Tony.
Speaker 1: Trusts me. I'm gonna cheat you will. I know you
Speaker 1: want to win. I know, I know you know.
Speaker 6: Like I said, I've played with Tony and uh, just
Speaker 6: because his name is hanging from Repp Arena doesn't mean
Speaker 6: he can swing a club.
Speaker 3: I say, lame, which is by lane, is not golf.
Speaker 6: I'm not in that lane, Jerry. Have you seen the
Speaker 6: picture on Instagram where there's a they play the Masters
Speaker 6: music and that it says me or you teeing off
Speaker 6: at the Masters and the ball shanks to the right
Speaker 6: and hits a fan. You know it's a it's it's
Speaker 6: a joke and it's funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's on
Speaker 6: a good day. That's Tony, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 3: And these a defense better sun Waivers, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So if you don't just not a waivers,
Speaker 3: We're not for what. But once the ball lead, Once
Speaker 3: the ball leads, T would not responsible where it goes,
Speaker 3: where it's gonna go.
Speaker 1: With the stand behind the T box. It's all I
Speaker 1: can tell them. But hey, what what an event, Tony,
Speaker 1: We're gonna make it? What of an event? We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to make this the Kentucky Louisville Ryder. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about guys. Yeah, two, I really do great calls.
Speaker 1: Of course, great calls. So anyway, Mike, we'll be working
Speaker 1: on the Louisville players. Of course, I'm gonna get Scooter.

Speaker 6: people are interested. There's uh they can call me, they
Speaker 6: can call there's three of us involved, and uh we're
Speaker 6: working on the sponsors. And the real cool thing is
Speaker 6: is there's a I can't speak about it, but we
Speaker 6: might even turn this inaugural tournament into uh uh. We
Speaker 6: might make it about somebody very famous, like a Muhammad
Speaker 6: Ali type. And we're really, really really you know, our
Speaker 6: goal is to have fun, but in the same token,
Speaker 6: uh uh, raise money and and give it to uh
Speaker 6: people that need it more than you and I.
Speaker 1: But no question, Mike, I'll be reaching out. Of course,
Speaker 1: Anthony works the town and country. I want to reach

Speaker 1: sponsorships also much for you. I think it's a great cause.
Speaker 1: I had no idea about your daughters. I did not
Speaker 1: know that. Tony had never told me that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: We've dealt with it for twenty six years. Man, So
Speaker 3: it's one of one of my passion But you know,
Speaker 3: just to you know, have a daughter who passed the
Speaker 3: bar like two months ago, and you know she's living
Speaker 3: her best in New York City.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am proud.
Speaker 3: Trust me. I'm a proud dad. Trust me when I
Speaker 3: tell you that.
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go. Know you're a great father and
Speaker 1: great family man, Mike, Tony, I got to get to
Speaker 1: break love you guys. We will talk about this and
Speaker 1: I'll see you in July. Yes, okay you Mike, thank you,
Speaker 1: Mike Mind, thank you Tony Delk. Eve Sports Radio will
Speaker 1: be back after the break. Welcome back to Eve's Sports
Speaker 1: Radio seven forty three. Guys, we're gonna have a short
Speaker 1: segment with this one. Had a great time, Anthony. Have
Speaker 1: you ever had a chance to meet Tony? I know
Speaker 1: you worked at Bluegrass and you came through the dealership
Speaker 1: all the time. Did you ever have a chance to
Speaker 1: meet with Tony Delk?
Speaker 3: I think if I did, I hate to see it.
Speaker 3: I don't recall.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I see a fad better than sometimes I.
Speaker 1: Can put the name on the thing. So gotcha. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: great guy. I'm telling he's been through numerous time. I
Speaker 1: guarantee you when you see him you will know. Of
Speaker 1: course you'll recognizing him for when he played. But and
Speaker 1: he's coaching now, he's scouting and coaching for the Mavericks.
Speaker 1: But just a great guy. I'm just telling you, a really,
Speaker 1: really good guy. So that's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna recruit you all because I just don't have
Speaker 1: enough Cardinals that play, so I'm gonna be cheating and recruiting.
Speaker 1: So get your game ready. That's all I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: I need you to come through. You and Frank are
Speaker 1: gonna have to come through. We're gonna make this the
Speaker 1: Ryder Cup. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I
Speaker 1: can't wait. Yes, one year in Louisville, one year in Lexington.
Speaker 1: Forget the basketball aspect. People are laughed their rearings off
Speaker 1: watching us play golf and having a great time raising money.
Speaker 1: So and I did not. I knew his daughter was
Speaker 1: a lawyer. I knew all about the bar, all those things.
Speaker 1: I had no idea about sickle cell. We just never
Speaker 1: spoke about it, or I just don't remember. So anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll make sure we take care of that on this one.
Speaker 1: Does Louisville advance to the World Series, Anthony? Can they
Speaker 1: get it done starting tomorrow?
Speaker 3: You know what, I think everyone has a fair opportunity
Speaker 3: in this one. Obviously, all the all the people that
Speaker 3: we thought were gonna win this year, all the high
Speaker 3: seeds and knocked out.
Speaker 2: They again, beat by unranked teams, teams that you know,
Speaker 2: you probably would never expect it to even be in
Speaker 2: the super Regional. So I think it's at this point
Speaker 2: it's a toss up. Everyone still has their favorite.
Speaker 3: But but there's no reason why.
Speaker 2: Louisville can't be the team to win the World Series,
Speaker 2: the College World Series is I don't see I don't
Speaker 2: see a doubt and why it can't happen. I think
Speaker 2: we got a great team, we got a phenomenal fan base. Obviously,
Speaker 2: we're hosting the super Regionals right now in Louisville, which
Speaker 2: gives us a great advantage for tomorrow. Obviously starting off
Speaker 2: playing against a former ACC team that they've played in
Speaker 2: season before. So at this point in time, you know,
Speaker 2: just got to go out there and perform, and I
Speaker 2: think Louisville can get it done.
Speaker 1: I had to wait and see. You know, they had
Speaker 1: very good teams before, they've hosted regionals and super regionals
Speaker 1: and haven't been able to. But congratulations to the team
Speaker 1: putting themselves in position they did. They beat Vandy like
Speaker 1: four or five weeks ago regular season anthony and defeated
Speaker 1: him again in the playoffs in the regional and then
Speaker 1: of course Wright State takes care of and Andy after
Speaker 1: that a lot of upsets. So we'll be watching that
Speaker 1: starts tomorrow and in se forty five we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to break. When we come back, come and hit a
Speaker 1: little a serious issue that I was going to hit yesterday,
Speaker 1: but we just didn't have the time in one hour.
Speaker 1: We're just packed. We pack things in. But I want
Speaker 1: to talk about ex Indiana basketball players a legend sexual
Speaker 1: misconduct and it's a big story and I want to
Speaker 1: talk about it a little bit. It's a few of
Speaker 1: the players I know personally. I've not spoken to their experiences,
Speaker 1: but Butch Carter and I know really well, and there's
Speaker 1: a statement from him, and I just want to address
Speaker 1: a little bit of that after the break. So that's
Speaker 1: what we're going to do. Seven forty six. This is
Speaker 1: EVE Sports Radio on numbers five year old, two, five, seven, one,
Speaker 1: seventy nine hundred. We'll talk to you in a minute.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eve Sports Radio seven forty nine. How
Speaker 1: quickly time passes. Get to work safely, that's all love people,
Speaker 1: loved ones are out there. Make sure you get to
Speaker 1: work safely. People are driving like you've lost your mind.
Speaker 1: Just I'm being honest with you. Slow down, leave on time.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Driving now is just truly maddening. People need
Speaker 1: to slow down now. Anthony I was untouched yesterday, but
Speaker 1: we just didn't have the time. More ex Indiana basketball
Speaker 1: players alleged sexual misconduct, so I want people to understand
Speaker 1: where this is coming from. At least fifteen and I'm
Speaker 1: reading this verbatim, at least fifteen former Indiana University men's
Speaker 1: basketball players are alleging improper sexual conduct by a former
Speaker 1: team physician and saying Indiana officials, including the late coach
Speaker 1: Bobby Knight, were aware of the behavior. Since two former
Speaker 1: Hoosiers sued the university last fall, five ex athletes are
Speaker 1: now named in the lawsuit, and ten additional men are
Speaker 1: also planning to pursue a litigations against Indiana, says attorney
Speaker 1: Michelle Simpson Tody ESPN, even though their legal path grew
Speaker 1: more difficult with the death of doctor Bradford bomb But
Speaker 1: last month and the release of outside investigation that cleared
Speaker 1: him from sexual misconduct. About this going on, and we've
Speaker 1: even heard football players alleging these things happened at other
Speaker 1: universities and they're speaking about it. I just want and
Speaker 1: I can do this, Anthony, because this is kind of
Speaker 1: difficult for me. I want you to stay with me.
Speaker 1: But everyone who's listened to my show. Know that my
Speaker 1: dad name is Frankiees. I named my oldest son after him.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that he didn't care a lot about my feelings.
Speaker 1: He made me understand what the world was all about
Speaker 1: in which he had to do to be successful. That
Speaker 1: was his job. He used to tell me that my
Speaker 1: feelings were for me and my feelings, but at the
Speaker 1: second side, you had to deal with your feelings and
Speaker 1: you had to adapt and you had to be successful
Speaker 1: find a way. So he was never big on making
Speaker 1: excuses on how I felt, or what the coach said
Speaker 1: to me or what he did to me, or even
Speaker 1: Coach Crumb when I started six games as a freshman,
Speaker 1: taking me out of the game, and I went right
Speaker 1: into my dad and I said, if I miss he
Speaker 1: takes me out. He said, you should love that man.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why because he told you, if you want
Speaker 1: to play, make your shots. So when we come to this,
Speaker 1: and there have been more serious situation, my dad said,
Speaker 1: if this never happened to me and I never had
Speaker 1: to experience this, but if it would have, I would
Speaker 1: have spoken out. It's just who I am. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have set there. And I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1: My teammates, Derek Smith, Scooter Wiley Brown, I know him really.
Speaker 1: I mean they're my brothers. I've known him now for
Speaker 1: over forty years. It wouldn't have happened. So seeing that
Speaker 1: this happened, and I know Butch Carter, some of the
Speaker 1: people I do not know. Some of the names I
Speaker 1: do not know. Harrison Madjokovich, I don't know. I've never
Speaker 1: heard of him. But I'm not saying it didn't happen.
Speaker 1: I'm just wishing that they would have had parents like
Speaker 1: mine that would have made them respond properly at the time.
Speaker 1: Guys in we know that timing isn't everything. I mean,
Speaker 1: timing is everything. That's all there is to it. There's
Speaker 1: a time and place for everything, reading the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Butch Carter guys who I know personally, just like I
Speaker 1: know Tony Delk I know Butch very very well, who
Speaker 1: played it in Indiana in the late seventies and went
Speaker 1: on to play and coaching the NBA. Wrote a letter
Speaker 1: included in the lawsuit that he told Knight he never
Speaker 1: wanted to see Bomba again for medical care and that
Speaker 1: he can play multiple times tonight about the doctor abusive
Speaker 1: behavior during physical examinations. So, guys, this is my era.
Speaker 1: This is one time I'm beat my chest at University
Speaker 1: of Louisville because it never happened. Never. Yes, we have
Speaker 1: physical examinations. I'm telling you doctor Ellis, doctor Shave Dot Bockenhausen.
Speaker 1: I mean all of them, class individuals. I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you fight class Coach Crumb, class individual, Bill Osen Wade Houston,
Speaker 1: class individuals, period, point blank. We're in a very competitive business.
Speaker 1: Like I told you all yesterday, I out of fault
Speaker 1: my son in between the lines during the game. I
Speaker 1: would have it was important to me. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do. I told you on that
Speaker 1: And you don't even know this, but my father, after
Speaker 1: I went pro, never went to a pro game of mine.
Speaker 1: And I finally asked him. He drove my mom to
Speaker 1: Chicago my second year in the league, said Dad, after
Speaker 1: the game, we're reading, why don't you come to the games?
Speaker 1: And he just told me directly. And he never played
Speaker 1: a sport. He was a microbiologist. Guy, say, smart man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you his sister taught French at Amison County.
Speaker 1: Smart family. He said, I didn't care about athletics, but
Speaker 1: you did so I had to make sure that you
Speaker 1: put your best in it. But he never came to
Speaker 1: a game ever. He never came to a pro game,
Speaker 1: not one. Mother flew all over the country upstairs sleeping
Speaker 1: right now. God who I had the best parents in
Speaker 1: the world, came to numerous games. My dad every went
Speaker 1: to a game. He said, I just wanted you to
Speaker 1: make it. Period. Wasn't about him. But when I was
Speaker 1: growing up, I thought it was about him because he
Speaker 1: was pushing me. But at the same time I knew
Speaker 1: if something like this happened, I was the first person
Speaker 1: I had of toe would have been my dad. First person.
Speaker 1: I probably had to gut him out of jail after that.
Speaker 1: But you know, it is what it is. But I
Speaker 1: just wish that these players that are going through this,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to read to you all
Speaker 1: again so that I am not picking sides, even though
Speaker 1: they're legal. Path grew more difficult with the death of
Speaker 1: doctor Bradford Bomba last month in the release and outside
Speaker 1: investigation that cleared him from sexual misconduct got me. Outside investigation.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. I'm reading to you overbatim.
Speaker 1: I am not picking sides. I'm just telling you all
Speaker 1: that when you raise yours your kids, make sure that
Speaker 1: you believe them. Let me tell you that, and you
Speaker 1: address the issues. It's all that I'm telling the parents
Speaker 1: so that we're not twenty thirty forty years later speaking
Speaker 1: about who this happened to me. There's always a time
Speaker 1: and place, so everyone knows. And I'm hated because I said,
Speaker 1: of any of the things that did happen that Louisville happened,
Speaker 1: than things had to change. So and I turned into
Speaker 1: the most hated person in the wibel. But there was
Speaker 1: a time in the place. I didn't do it thirty
Speaker 1: years later. I didn't do it on a day I
Speaker 1: have been at ninety when it came out. I held
Speaker 1: my tongue until the evidence was presented Anthony. Then my
Speaker 1: dad raised me. There's a time and a place. I
Speaker 1: spoke out. I said, greatest coach. You'll see what coach
Speaker 1: Patino's doing. He's a great coach. Louisville had to fire him,
Speaker 1: period point blank. It's the right thing to do. Took
Speaker 1: him too long to do it, being honest with you.
Speaker 1: So same thing with this Indiana situation. I don't know
Speaker 1: all the ins and outs. I don't know the legal proceeding.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happened. I'm just saying for parents today,
Speaker 1: make sure your teacher kids, there's a time in the place.
Speaker 1: Make sure that they understand, do not be frightened to
Speaker 1: do the right thing is east Words Radio seven to
Speaker 1: fifty eight. We will be back tomorrow. Crazy George Williams,
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm roasting him. Tony Mike Vine will
Speaker 1: be ready. Eastwards Radio Anthony were out Tokyo tomorrow, God willing,
Speaker 1: Bye bye
