WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>In the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>ninety six to nine the Games Mike the Bulldog beyond you.

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 2>On jr R.

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Bulldog, we got you there. I am here, Yes,

5
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 3>I am all right. So I'm I'm assuming you're gonna

6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 3>just rip the band aid off. With the Magic's fourth

7
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 3>loss in a row last night.

8
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Mmmmm, yeah, I think the Magic need a new theme

9
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 2>song and it's the old Beatles song Help, I need

10
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody help, not just anybody. Yeah, the Magic underhanded again

11
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>last night, finished the game with eight available players, and yeah,

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>they are in a bad way.

13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 4>Last night.

14
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>They were up twenty one in that game in the

15
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>first quarter, hit thirteen of their first seventeen shots, five

16
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>of their first six three pointers. Again, up by twenty one,

17
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 2>and then they just ran out of gas. They got

18
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 2>clobbered one oh nine to ninety three by the hapless

19
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Toronto Raptors. The Magic were outscored in the third quarter

20
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>by forty by forty. Okay, it's only the second time

21
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>this season the Magic if gave up forty or more

22
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>points in a quarter. Yeah, not good by the again

23
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 2>eight available players. Obviously they're missing the fronz a he's

24
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>he's not back yet. Jalen Suggs isn't back yet. Gogabatazzi

25
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>is still in concussion protocol. Gary Harris still has a

26
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>hamstring strange. Jet Howard sprained ankle. Moe Wagner of course

27
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>out for the year. Cole Anthony didn't play last night.

28
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>He had some sort of illness. Jonathan Isaac was only

29
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>able to go five minutes because of his own illness.

30
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Palo Bancaro did have what do you have

31
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>last night? Twenty six points, twelve rebounds, but that wasn't

32
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.599
<v Speaker 2>nearly enough. The Magic were below thirty percent from three

33
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 2>point shooting. Again, they're the worst three point shooting team

34
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in the league. As you mentioned, they've lost four in

35
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 2>a row now, six of their last seven to ten

36
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>of their last fourteen. They fall on the eighth spot

37
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>in the Eastern Conference behind the Pistons now and look

38
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>who's only a half game behind them, the hated Heat

39
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>in the ninth spot. So yeah, but.

40
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 5>I told Pat I just found those magic signs, So

41
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 5>since I just put them out that we're gonna see

42
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 5>a turnaround. Hopefully we'll get some some players healthy with

43
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 5>my signs.

44
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Franz and Jalen Suggs should be back soon

45
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>and man, yeah, so it's not good for the Magic

46
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>right now, but there's still you know, there's still above

47
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 2>five hundred. They're still above the playoff line. Hopefully, when

48
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Franz and Jalen Suggs get back, they will be able

49
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>to score some more points.

50
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Are we gonna have to adjust our predictions for a

51
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 3>total number of wins?

52
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 4>You can't do that. Well.

53
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I will say this. I believe the Magic's record right

54
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>now is the exact same record they had it this

55
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>year last time and last year last year. Here's some

56
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>optimism for you. So they have the exact same record

57
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>that they had last year at this time, and last

58
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>year at this time they were completely healthy and had

59
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 2>that record. So when they get healthy in the next

60
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, you would think they'd be able to

61
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>go on a run. Hey, hey, you want to just

62
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>if you want to, just your what was your what

63
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 2>were the what were the games that we d.

64
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he has them, Handy. He'll have to

65
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 3>get back to you. Hey, can I ask you a question?

66
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Do they have any numbers that have come down yet

67
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 3>on eyeballs that watched the National Championship Game Monday night.

68
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I haven't seen that.

69
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 4>I'll look for that though.

70
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Because I you know, I don't know if bulldog. You've

71
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 3>been looking at a lot of discussion on where that

72
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 3>game ended up being played on the calendar or the night,

73
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>and how far into the calendar it is, deep into

74
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 3>the NFL playoffs, and also, you know, the falling on

75
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 3>a holiday on Inauguration had it had a lot of

76
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 3>things going against it. So I'm just curious to see

77
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>ultimately how many people. Oh, yeah, that's right, the National

78
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Championship Game was up you mentioned yesterday. Why didn't they

79
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 3>play it on Friday night? I did some research into that,

80
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 3>and I even talked to Mark Daniels, who's mister you know,

81
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 3>TV ratings guy. He says, Friday night is just an

82
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 3>awful night for TV ratings and viewing. So that's why

83
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 3>they don't play big events on Friday night ever, because

84
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Friday night, I guess most people you know go out

85
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 3>on Friday.

86
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's Friday night time to party.

87
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So that's and many more people at home on

88
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Monday night watching TV than on Friday night home watching TV.

89
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 2>The Jaguars look like they're getting close to hiring their coach.

90
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>They're bringing three guys in for a second interview. Among

91
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>those are Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Cohen, Vegas defensive

92
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>cord at Patrick Graham, and New York Jets former coach

93
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Robert Sala. So some Jaguars fans on social media not

94
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>happy with those three choices.

95
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 4>They want to splashy hire.

96
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>They wanted Ben Johnson, who of course agreed to become

97
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>the Chicago Bears head coach. He was the highly sought

98
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>after offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions.

99
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that?

100
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you see the Jags organization shelling out thirteen million

101
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 3>a year for Ben Johnson? Which is way isn't that

102
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>the rumored number he's getting in Chicago?

103
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Supposedly, Hey, Shag Cohn is one of the richest owners.

104
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 4>I know, but still is I don't know if he's

105
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 4>gonna set that precedent.

106
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's all I have to say for fans who

107
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>want the splashy hire. Okay, bet, yes, Ben Johnson was

108
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>a splashy hire, but so was Urban Meyer.

109
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah That's what I was gonna say.

110
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>So that was and they and they shelled out a

111
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of money for urban Meyer to get him out

112
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>of the get him back into coaching, So splashy hires

113
00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>aren't always the best way.

114
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Josh McDaniels back to the Patriots organization as offensive coordinator,

115
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 3>coming home again. Huh for the third Yeah, yeah.

116
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 2>For the third time. He lea he always leaves the

117
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Patriots offensive coordinator, gets a head coaching job, fails at that,

118
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>and then winds up back with the Patriots. Of course,

119
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Mark Mike Vrabel is the head coach of the Patriots,

120
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and he played for the Rable played for the Patriots

121
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 2>when Josh McDaniels was the offensive court or Josh McDaniel

122
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was the offensive coordinator back.

123
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 4>In their hey day.

124
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh, by the way, back to college or back to

125
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>basketball real quick. You see, I played the number three

126
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 2>team in the country last night. Iowa State. Didn't go

127
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>that well for them. They ended up losing that game.

128
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>But you see, if played Houston tough the other day,

129
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>there's still right around five hundred and the Big twelve,

130
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.199
<v Speaker 2>they could still be a tournament team.

131
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 4>They're getting there. They're getting there for sure.

132
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, guys, I finally, I've been scrolling through my phone

133
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.360
