Speaker 1: In the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM
Speaker 1: ninety six to nine in the games, Mike the Bulldog
Speaker 1: Beyond you Jr.
Speaker 2: Bulldog Sports Page brought to this Well, Taco Bob, you're
Speaker 2: sponsoring the sports page this morning.
Speaker 1: Oh you better believe it, because I'm out tomorrow Modern
Speaker 1: Concepts Home Design Center in Holly Hill. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: out there starting at two. We have they're given away
Speaker 1: over nine thousand dollars in prizes, big flooring things. They're
Speaker 1: giving away part of the kitchen, and we're gonna have
Speaker 1: concert tickets every half hour.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 1: It's off North Never Road in Holly Hill. Tomorrow Modern
Speaker 1: Concepts Modern Concepts Home Design Center.
Speaker 2: Starts to two. We'll see you there, all right, Bulldog,
Speaker 2: Good morning. So we had the last of the first
Speaker 2: four last night and today it all begins in earnest.
Speaker 3: Absolutely n Cuba Tournament bracketology. Baby, I filled out my
Speaker 3: bracket early early this morning. I know you guys have
Speaker 3: your brackets filled out. Of course, you're only allowed one bracket.
Speaker 3: You cannot fill out multiple brackets. That is against the rules.
Speaker 3: So yes, A Xavier did beat Texas last night. So
Speaker 3: one at one of the fourteen SEC teams is now
Speaker 3: out of it. Mount Saint Mary's defeat defeats Xavier. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: Xavier defeats No what would Mount st. Mount Saint Mary's
Speaker 3: defeated American University. Xavier beats Texas. Right there you go.
Speaker 3: So those were the the last of the first four games.
Speaker 3: So the actual bracket now is set. So I filled
Speaker 3: out my preliminary bracket this morning, and I don't like
Speaker 3: it because I went chalk. I was picking every game
Speaker 3: who I thought would win, and I ended up with
Speaker 3: like four number one seeds in the final four. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna change that because I do think
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some potential upsets this year. By the way,
Speaker 3: watch out for Yale over Saint Mary's and New Mexico
Speaker 3: over Kentucky. All right, those are a couple of upsets
Speaker 3: to look out for. Of course, I'm picking the Gators
Speaker 3: to win the National Championship. Why is that? Because I
Speaker 3: like to pick my bracket by the storylines, and the
Speaker 3: Gators would be the best storyline obviously for us in Orlando,
Speaker 3: because they are the only State of Florida team in
Speaker 3: the tournament.
Speaker 2: So everybody have fun screwing off at work today, work
Speaker 2: at least the afternoon portion.
Speaker 1: I told Pat when they made me do that little
Speaker 1: punishment at sales for a little bit, that was the
Speaker 1: only good thing about it was the boss was a
Speaker 1: huge college basketball fan. He goes, hey, come with me,
Speaker 1: we gotta go do some work. And he brought me
Speaker 1: to Obargo.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: He goes, bracket time, March madness. They go, you get
Speaker 1: go team, This is all right. Magic could have used
Speaker 1: a little extra hard work last night. They fell short
Speaker 1: against Houston.
Speaker 4: Dog back to live, back to reality, The Magic return
Speaker 4: to the team who we thought they were, the team
Speaker 4: that can't shoot.
Speaker 3: They made only nine to thirty five to three pointers
Speaker 3: last night. That's twenty five percent. They lose to the
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets one sixteen to one oh eight. Houston is
Speaker 3: playing like one of the best teams in the league
Speaker 3: right now, their second in the West. I hate to
Speaker 3: say this, all right, but you know, I think there's
Speaker 3: a sort of a narrative out there that the Magic are.
Speaker 3: You know, they're an up and coming one of the
Speaker 3: best up and coming young teams in the league. Well,
Speaker 3: I got news for you. You look at what the
Speaker 3: Rockets are doing. You look at what the Oklahoma City
Speaker 3: Thunder are doing. You look at what the Detroit Pistons
Speaker 3: are doing. All three of those teams are just as young,
Speaker 3: if not younger, than the Magic. And when you see
Speaker 3: what they're doing this year, the Magic need to get
Speaker 3: it going because right now, not only are they a
Speaker 3: mediocre NBA team, they aren't even one of the best
Speaker 3: young teams in the league. So a wake up call
Speaker 3: for the Orlando Magic last night. There are a lot
Speaker 3: of good young teams out there, and the Magic are
Speaker 3: lagging behind where the yard signs at.
Speaker 1: By the way, ei they're in the garage have been
Speaker 1: since you ordered me to take him down. Hasn't helped. Hey, hey, bulldog,
Speaker 1: how's the how's the let's say disagreement between you and
Speaker 1: your fellow columnist over there at the Sentinel, Scott Maxwell
Speaker 1: doing over this baseball situation in Orlando.
Speaker 3: Well, Scott was out of town yesterday. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: get him on the show to have a debate with
Speaker 3: him about this. But yeah, Scott Maxwell, of the news
Speaker 3: columnists at the Sentinel, he has poo pooed any Orlando
Speaker 3: effort to try to bring Major League baseball and try
Speaker 3: to bring the Tampa Bay Rays over to Orlando. Of course,
Speaker 3: I'm all on board with it. And as is his custom,
Speaker 3: anything that has to do with sports, Scott Maxwell is against.
Speaker 3: He was against building the arena, He was against putting
Speaker 3: money into the football stadium. If it were up the
Speaker 3: Scott Maxwell, we wouldn't have any sports in town. All
Speaker 3: we would have would be roads and you know, whatever causes.
Speaker 2: So is he not a sports fan even or is
Speaker 2: it just he's opposed to any funds going in disc.
Speaker 3: And in philosophically he's against building putting any public funds
Speaker 3: towards building sports venues for billionaire owners, And philosophically, I
Speaker 3: guess he's right. Philosophically, I don't think we should be
Speaker 3: helping billionaires build their their palatial stadiums. But if you
Speaker 3: want a Major League Baseball team, an NBA team, or
Speaker 3: an NFL team, the three major sports in this cun
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to put some public funds in it
Speaker 3: into it because if you don't, somebody else will say.
Speaker 2: The same one, same question though. Is he a sports fan.
Speaker 3: He's a He's actually a big college basketball fan. Went
Speaker 3: to the University of North Carolina. I don't know how
Speaker 3: big of a sports fan he is other than college basketball, though,
Speaker 3: I don't think he's a big sports fan.
Speaker 2: I just all the stuff you just reeled out. I get,
Speaker 2: you know, his perspective, but he also you got to
Speaker 2: look at the long term, big picture of the revenue
Speaker 2: engine that major league sports brings to any city. That
Speaker 2: is said, that's a benefit to the community.
Speaker 3: Well that's again again I hate to agree with Scott Maxwell,
Speaker 3: but that's debatable too. And the reason that's debatable is
Speaker 3: because yes, major League sports does create revenue. But Scott
Speaker 3: Maxwell's argument is it's revenue that would have been spent
Speaker 3: elsewhere anyway. Like, for instance, people who go to baseball
Speaker 3: games and you know, spend money, Well, if they didn't
Speaker 3: spend it at a baseball game, they'd be spending it
Speaker 3: somewhere else, would they not. So that's his that's his argument.
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is I want to have
Speaker 3: a baseball team because it's fun to go to baseball games.
Speaker 2: It would be great.
Speaker 1: Do I see it happening.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: But Scott Maxwell's it sounds he's just like one of
Speaker 1: those guys, Oh well, it would be doing this, didn't
Speaker 1: he do the no Rina stickers.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I think.
Speaker 2: All that stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was against all the venues that were built,
Speaker 3: except I think he was for the performing arts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, yeah, yes, that's that's we make an
Speaker 2: exception for the arts. I guess I.
Speaker 1: Gotta ask you, Pat, You and I never said who
Speaker 1: are brackets are? Who we had winning the whole thing.
Speaker 5: We're filling out something called the bikini bracket. I know,
Speaker 5: but right now we have this those brackets. I've been
Speaker 5: doing some research now that I have the internet again,
Speaker 5: we have dog with the Gators.
Speaker 2: I'm going duke. I've been big duke.
Speaker 5: Pat, who you got, I'll jump in and take Wafford?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Hey, real quick, your mead heeads. Detroit Lions have proposed
Speaker 3: a new rule. Do you see this?
Speaker 2: What's the rule?
Speaker 3: The new rule in the NFL is that the playoff
Speaker 3: seatings would be based on your actual record, not whether
Speaker 3: you want a division or not, which I like.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea.
Speaker 3: The Lions that proposed that, and they think that hey,
Speaker 3: just if you win a bad division, you shouldn't be
Speaker 3: seated higher than a better team that finishes second in
Speaker 3: a much better division.
Speaker 1: Like it guys. I also researched what we were talking
Speaker 1: about off the air before the sports page. Sister Gene
Speaker 1: is still alive.
Speaker 2: From what I'm seeing, it's Loyola in the tournament. I
Speaker 2: don't know, all right, the Lightning tough or tough game
Speaker 2: tonight against one of the better teams in the league,
Speaker 2: Dallas Stars will see how they do. Mike the Bulldog Bionchy,
Speaker 2: host of Open Mic on AM seven forty and FM
