Speaker 1: In the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM
Speaker 1: ninety six to nine the Games Mike the Bulldog beyond you.
Speaker 2: On jr R.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Bulldog, we got you there. I am here, Yes,
Speaker 3: I am all right. So I'm I'm assuming you're gonna
Speaker 3: just rip the band aid off. With the Magic's fourth
Speaker 3: loss in a row last night.
Speaker 2: Mmmmm, yeah, I think the Magic need a new theme
Speaker 2: song and it's the old Beatles song Help, I need
Speaker 2: somebody help, not just anybody. Yeah, the Magic underhanded again
Speaker 2: last night, finished the game with eight available players, and yeah,
Speaker 2: they are in a bad way.
Speaker 4: Last night.
Speaker 2: They were up twenty one in that game in the
Speaker 2: first quarter, hit thirteen of their first seventeen shots, five
Speaker 2: of their first six three pointers. Again, up by twenty one,
Speaker 2: and then they just ran out of gas. They got
Speaker 2: clobbered one oh nine to ninety three by the hapless
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors. The Magic were outscored in the third quarter
Speaker 2: by forty by forty. Okay, it's only the second time
Speaker 2: this season the Magic if gave up forty or more
Speaker 2: points in a quarter. Yeah, not good by the again
Speaker 2: eight available players. Obviously they're missing the fronz a he's
Speaker 2: he's not back yet. Jalen Suggs isn't back yet. Gogabatazzi
Speaker 2: is still in concussion protocol. Gary Harris still has a
Speaker 2: hamstring strange. Jet Howard sprained ankle. Moe Wagner of course
Speaker 2: out for the year. Cole Anthony didn't play last night.
Speaker 2: He had some sort of illness. Jonathan Isaac was only
Speaker 2: able to go five minutes because of his own illness.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Palo Bancaro did have what do you have
Speaker 2: last night? Twenty six points, twelve rebounds, but that wasn't
Speaker 2: nearly enough. The Magic were below thirty percent from three
Speaker 2: point shooting. Again, they're the worst three point shooting team
Speaker 2: in the league. As you mentioned, they've lost four in
Speaker 2: a row now, six of their last seven to ten
Speaker 2: of their last fourteen. They fall on the eighth spot
Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference behind the Pistons now and look
Speaker 2: who's only a half game behind them, the hated Heat
Speaker 2: in the ninth spot. So yeah, but.
Speaker 5: I told Pat I just found those magic signs, So
Speaker 5: since I just put them out that we're gonna see
Speaker 5: a turnaround. Hopefully we'll get some some players healthy with
Speaker 5: my signs.
Speaker 2: Well, the Franz and Jalen Suggs should be back soon
Speaker 2: and man, yeah, so it's not good for the Magic
Speaker 2: right now, but there's still you know, there's still above
Speaker 2: five hundred. They're still above the playoff line. Hopefully, when
Speaker 2: Franz and Jalen Suggs get back, they will be able
Speaker 2: to score some more points.
Speaker 3: Are we gonna have to adjust our predictions for a
Speaker 3: total number of wins?
Speaker 4: You can't do that. Well.
Speaker 2: I will say this. I believe the Magic's record right
Speaker 2: now is the exact same record they had it this
Speaker 2: year last time and last year last year. Here's some
Speaker 2: optimism for you. So they have the exact same record
Speaker 2: that they had last year at this time, and last
Speaker 2: year at this time they were completely healthy and had
Speaker 2: that record. So when they get healthy in the next
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, you would think they'd be able to
Speaker 2: go on a run. Hey, hey, you want to just
Speaker 2: if you want to, just your what was your what
Speaker 2: were the what were the games that we d.
Speaker 3: I don't think he has them, Handy. He'll have to
Speaker 3: get back to you. Hey, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 3: Do they have any numbers that have come down yet
Speaker 3: on eyeballs that watched the National Championship Game Monday night.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 4: I'll look for that though.
Speaker 3: Because I you know, I don't know if bulldog. You've
Speaker 3: been looking at a lot of discussion on where that
Speaker 3: game ended up being played on the calendar or the night,
Speaker 3: and how far into the calendar it is, deep into
Speaker 3: the NFL playoffs, and also, you know, the falling on
Speaker 3: a holiday on Inauguration had it had a lot of
Speaker 3: things going against it. So I'm just curious to see
Speaker 3: ultimately how many people. Oh, yeah, that's right, the National
Speaker 3: Championship Game was up you mentioned yesterday. Why didn't they
Speaker 3: play it on Friday night? I did some research into that,
Speaker 3: and I even talked to Mark Daniels, who's mister you know,
Speaker 3: TV ratings guy. He says, Friday night is just an
Speaker 3: awful night for TV ratings and viewing. So that's why
Speaker 3: they don't play big events on Friday night ever, because
Speaker 3: Friday night, I guess most people you know go out
Speaker 3: on Friday.
Speaker 4: You know, it's Friday night time to party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's and many more people at home on
Speaker 2: Monday night watching TV than on Friday night home watching TV.
Speaker 2: The Jaguars look like they're getting close to hiring their coach.
Speaker 2: They're bringing three guys in for a second interview. Among
Speaker 2: those are Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Cohen, Vegas defensive
Speaker 2: cord at Patrick Graham, and New York Jets former coach
Speaker 2: Robert Sala. So some Jaguars fans on social media not
Speaker 2: happy with those three choices.
Speaker 4: They want to splashy hire.
Speaker 2: They wanted Ben Johnson, who of course agreed to become
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears head coach. He was the highly sought
Speaker 2: after offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 4: Do you think that?
Speaker 3: Do you see the Jags organization shelling out thirteen million
Speaker 3: a year for Ben Johnson? Which is way isn't that
Speaker 3: the rumored number he's getting in Chicago?
Speaker 2: Supposedly, Hey, Shag Cohn is one of the richest owners.
Speaker 4: I know, but still is I don't know if he's
Speaker 4: gonna set that precedent.
Speaker 2: Well, here's all I have to say for fans who
Speaker 2: want the splashy hire. Okay, bet, yes, Ben Johnson was
Speaker 2: a splashy hire, but so was Urban Meyer.
Speaker 4: Yeah That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2: So that was and they and they shelled out a
Speaker 2: lot of money for urban Meyer to get him out
Speaker 2: of the get him back into coaching, So splashy hires
Speaker 2: aren't always the best way.
Speaker 3: Hey, Josh McDaniels back to the Patriots organization as offensive coordinator,
Speaker 3: coming home again. Huh for the third Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: For the third time. He lea he always leaves the
Speaker 2: Patriots offensive coordinator, gets a head coaching job, fails at that,
Speaker 2: and then winds up back with the Patriots. Of course,
Speaker 2: Mark Mike Vrabel is the head coach of the Patriots,
Speaker 2: and he played for the Rable played for the Patriots
Speaker 2: when Josh McDaniels was the offensive court or Josh McDaniel
Speaker 2: was the offensive coordinator back.
Speaker 4: In their hey day.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, back to college or back to
Speaker 2: basketball real quick. You see, I played the number three
Speaker 2: team in the country last night. Iowa State. Didn't go
Speaker 2: that well for them. They ended up losing that game.
Speaker 2: But you see, if played Houston tough the other day,
Speaker 2: there's still right around five hundred and the Big twelve,
Speaker 2: they could still be a tournament team.
Speaker 4: They're getting there. They're getting there for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, guys, I finally, I've been scrolling through my phone
Speaker 5: the whole time through my pictures to find our magic picks,
Speaker 5: which are not able to be changed. By the way,
Speaker 5: we have Pat at fifty six, Dog at fifty five wins,
Speaker 5: and me at fifty two.
Speaker 3: I need to remember.
Speaker 4: Lie they're currently sitting at twenty three wins.
Speaker 2: So yeah, anyway, we're more than halfway through the season
Speaker 2: and lightning fall last night three to two to Montreal
Speaker 2: in Montreal.
