<v Speaker 1>The Sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM ninety

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>six to nine.

3
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 2>The games Mike the Bulldog Beyond You on jr R.

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.640
<v Speaker 3>All Right, hey, Bulldog, I'm hoping as the Magic get

5
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 3>ready for this playoff game tonight play in game, you

6
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 3>could maybe explain these first few games in the NBA

7
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.960
<v Speaker 3>playoffs and how exactly they work in. What needs it

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 3>is to play in.

9
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 4>It's not the playoffs, it's to play in. The Magic

10
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 4>host the Atlanta Hawks tonight game one of the play in.

11
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 4>A win puts the Magic into the playoffs as the

12
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 4>number seven seed against the defending champion Boston Celtics.

13
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>If they win tonight.

14
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 4>If they lose tonight, that means they would host a

15
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 4>do or die play in game against the winner of

16
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 4>the Heat Bulls play in game, and that would be

17
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 4>Friday night. So Magic win tonight, they're in the playoffs.

18
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 4>If they lose, they have to win on Friday to

19
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 4>get into the playoffs. If they lose on Friday, obviously

20
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 4>they're out. That's pretty much it. I think they need

21
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 4>to win tonight because the Celtics right now are one

22
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 4>of their star players, Jalen Brown, is nursing a bad Ankle.

23
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 4>I think they need to get the series started with

24
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 4>the Celtics as soon as possible while Jalen Brown may

25
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 4>be a little bit hobbled, and that would give them

26
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 4>a chance to maybe steal a game in Boston in

27
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 4>Game one or Game two, which if they win tonight,

28
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 4>the playoff series against Boston would probably start. I think

29
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Saturday or Sunday is what they're saying, right, So there

30
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 4>you have it. So win tonight against Atlanta and you're in.

31
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 4>And I think the Magic need to win tonight. Told

32
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 4>you yesterday about this this Niko Iamaliava, the Tennessee quarterback

33
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 4>who was essentially kicked off the team because he was

34
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>holding out.

35
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>He skipped practice.

36
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 4>Josh Heipel, the quarterback are the coach at Tennessee, said

37
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 4>the hell with that, you're out of here, and boom,

38
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 4>he's out, and I don't know that he's gonna He

39
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 4>wanted it more in IO money from Tennessee. He was

40
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 4>already making like two point five million a year from Tennessee.

41
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 4>He was seeking four million dollars a year. I'm from

42
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 4>everything I'm hearing and reading, I think the guy made

43
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 4>a huge mistake. He his family, his NIO agent, there's

44
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 4>not really all that much interest in the guy.

45
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Quite frankly. That's what it comes down to, is the agent.

46
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>These are college kids, and you know what, I and

47
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the father, yeah, and the father, and when those guys,

48
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 1>the dad and the and the parents in general, and

49
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>then the agent say it, that's the whole new world

50
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 1>where I'm with nil. You know what, you guys got greedy?

51
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Now your kid is needy of a job. Goodbye, buddy.

52
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's yeah, because again supposedly North Carolina and Belichick

53
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 4>were interested. Report Yes, they're going after the South Alabama quarterback.

54
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>So how much interest is there?

55
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 4>This guy may have given up a starting job and

56
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 4>two point five million dollars a year in NIO money

57
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 4>at a national championship contender, and he may end up

58
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 4>like a two lane or something making a lot less money.

59
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, be careful, be careful. I thought you had

60
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>him at the fast food join us ready.

61
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>You know what? You know, it's amazing though, you almost

62
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 3>want to go up to this dude, and I know

63
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 3>it the way things operate these days, this is in reality,

64
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 3>but you just want to go up to someone like

65
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 3>that and go and how much would you have been

66
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 3>making if you had been going to college three four

67
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 3>years ago.

68
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Zero zero.

69
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 4>I've got a conspiracy theory, by the way, on this

70
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 4>real quick, I think Tennise he wasn't that good last year.

71
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 4>Even though Tennessee made the playoffs, they were a running

72
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 4>team and relied on their defense. My conspiracy theory is

73
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Tennessee was just waiting on this kid to screw up

74
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 4>so they could kick it off the team and spend

75
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 4>that ni O money on better players. Perhaps perhaps just

76
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 4>the theory, just the theory. WNBA Draft last night, I

77
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 4>know you guys were locked in to see Page Beckers,

78
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 4>the Yukon star who just won the national championship. She

79
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 4>was picked number one by the Dallas Wings, so that

80
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 4>was the big news in the WNBA draft. I wonder

81
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 4>where she would have been drafted in last year's draft

82
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 4>because you had obviously you had Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink,

83
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 4>Angel Angel Reese wasn't taken last year until the seventh pick.

84
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 4>I wonder where Page Beckers would have gone last year.

85
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 4>But it doesn't matter. She's the number one overall pick

86
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 4>in this year's w NBA draft. Cam Ward, by the way,

87
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 4>will attend the NFL Draft along with a lot of

88
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 4>other stars. You know who's not gonna be at the

89
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 4>NFL draft Shador Sanders in two weeks. Yeah, I wonder,

90
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if he's if he's dropping down the draft boards,

91
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 4>and that's one reason maybe he's not showing up.

92
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know.

93
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Hey, if you guys had the number one pick in

94
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 3>the NFL draft, too, who would you be picking? Who

95
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 3>would you take? Bulldog?

96
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you need a quarterback, I would take cam Ward?

97
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, Well, then if you need something else, take

98
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy that goes both ways.

99
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, you know.

100
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 4>Obviously, if you needed a running back, you take Ashton

101
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 4>gent from Boys, he stayed. If you need a pass rusher,

102
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 4>Abdul Carter is the main guy. So yeah, it all

103
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 4>depends on what you need it. But if you need

104
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 4>a quarterback, cam Ward is the guy. I don't think

105
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 4>there's any question about that. So, speaking of football, did

106
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 4>you see the Ohio State was honored yesterday at the

107
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 4>White House?

108
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Vice President JD.

109
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 4>Vance was going to like take a picture with the

110
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 4>trophy and then with Trump Vance and the team. So

111
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 4>he picks up the trophy and it was a two.

112
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 4>The trophy was in two parts. He thought it was

113
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 4>in one part and he fumbled.

114
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the top came off the base. And we're actually

115
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about that a little more later.

116
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Hey, look, I don't think and then we'll get to that.

117
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Let's be thinking about y'all. Have you ever fumbled something

118
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 3>and accidentally broke something really really you know, pricey or expensive?

119
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>The worst part. He went to Ohio State too, so

120
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 3>he stopped doubly embarrassing because he's thrilled to be there

121
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 3>with the team that you know, won it all, and

122
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 3>then that happens.

123
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Well.

124
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Evidently right afterwards he signed in an il deal with

125
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 4>the candy bar company Butterfinger.

126
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, you've been worrying on that one all night,

127
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 3>all right. Mike the Bulldog Bianchi host of Open Mike
