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

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.839
<v Speaker 1>ninety six nine. In the Games, Mike the Bulldog Beyonti Jr. R.

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Bulldog Sports Phase brought you by Kaufmin and Lynn Injury Attorneys.

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>What's up, Mike Beyanchi? What's up?

5
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 3>The Orlando Magic opened the NBA season tonight on the

6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 3>road against the hated Miami Heat. You guys have been

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 3>around Orlando a lot longer than I have, all right,

8
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 3>But if you ask me, since I've been in Orlando,

9
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 3>this is the most anticipated Magic season since since the

10
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 3>Dwight years, since you know, since the NBA Finals years

11
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 3>of two thousand and nine. I don't remember a Magic

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 3>season where there was this much anticipation. Obviously, the Magic

13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 3>are coming off a playoff run last year. They should

14
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 3>have won the first round of the playoffs against the

15
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Cleveland Cavaliers. They lost in Game seven despite having an

16
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>eighteen point lead in the first half. I think this

17
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Magic season has the makings of being special.

18
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you guys fired up?

19
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Very positive going into the season with high hopes? Yes,

20
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>very positive.

21
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's the Dwight Howard feel yet,

22
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 1>but we have a good team and a damn good coach, a.

23
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 3>Really good team, A really good coach, a young team.

24
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we know what happened last year. The three

25
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>leading scorers were twenty two years old or younger. That's

26
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 3>only the second time in NBA history that's happened. Palo

27
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 3>ban Caro coming off an All Star year, the Magic

28
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 3>have added Kentavious called Will Pope, a two time NBA champion,

29
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 3>to the roster. This is the I'm not saying the

30
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Magic are gonna win any championships this year, but to me,

31
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 3>the minimum expectation is win a round in the playoffs.

32
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Last year, they made the playoffs. This year, if they

33
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 3>could win around, that would be okay accomplishment.

34
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 2>But we all agree. Let's cut to the chase here. Boys.

35
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Put a number on it, total number of wins regular season.

36
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 2>What's it going to be?

37
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, last year they won forty seven. They were forty

38
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 3>seven and five last year. I do think they're gonna

39
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 3>be better by adding kcp co Contavious Championship Pope as

40
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 3>I like to call him. I think the Magic are

41
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 3>gonna win fifty five games this season. Fifty five and

42
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 3>twenty seven. That'll be good enough for a three seed

43
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 3>in the East.

44
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Bulldog, I was gonna land on fifty five as well.

45
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>I'll one up here and go fifty six.

46
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 1>And I will fifty two it fifty two.

47
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you can.

48
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 4>Got a note of those. We'll refer back to next year, Taco.

49
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 4>That's how I was doing writing them down. Remind me

50
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 4>it was right around this date, got it. I'll take

51
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 4>a picture of it now. NBA season did start last night.

52
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 4>Lebron James and Bronni James made history. They became the

53
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 4>first father son dulo to appear in a game together

54
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 4>when they checked in with four minutes left in the

55
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 4>second quarter.

56
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Also the first time in NBA history that the commissioner

57
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>has played with his son.

58
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 3>The commission Yes, that's right, the commissioner and the player coach.

59
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, and the GA Yes, yes, exactly. It was

60
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal history last night.

61
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking Adam Silver played with his son light.

62
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I get it now, I get it. It took me

63
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot alright. By the way, the Griffies were there

64
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>last night, the King Griffy Junior and King Griffy Senior

65
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 3>where there. They were the first you know, father son

66
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 3>duo to play Major League Baseball history. Sad news and baseball.

67
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 3>By the way, Lakers ended up winning that game. Fernando Vlenzuela,

68
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 3>the Mexican phenom, the rookie who took the Major League

69
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Major League Baseball by storm back in the early eighties.

70
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 3>He passed away yesterday at the age of sixty three.

71
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Sad news for the Dodgers. Do you get are you

72
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 3>guys old enough to remember?

73
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

74
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yes, man, the big guy on the mound. Yeah yeah,

75
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Chubby Fernando on the mound. That wind up he had

76
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 3>when he he would look every time he'd wind up,

77
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 3>he'd looked skywards.

78
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was.

79
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 3>You know, we used to try to imitate him when

80
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 3>we were kids, you know, doing the wind up there.

81
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>So did you push your belly out before you pitched?

82
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, That's how I imitated him, just not pitching, just eating.

83
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Wow, just as we had suspected and just as we feared. Uh,

84
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 3>Chris God, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver looks

85
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 3>like he's out for the year with that dislocated ankle

86
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 3>that he suffered in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens

87
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 3>on Monday night. Also, Mike Evans, the Buccaneers other star receiver.

88
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna be out until at least the bye we

89
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 3>week eleven with a strained hamstring that looked pretty serious

90
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 3>as well. So the Bucks will be without their top

91
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 3>two wide receivers this week against against Atlanta, the following

92
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 3>week against the Chiefs, and then the following week against

93
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 3>the forty nine Ers. I hate to say it, but

94
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 3>by the time Mike Evans gets back, the Bucks could

95
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>be four and six in facing an uphill climb.

96
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>To make the playoffs.

97
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see what happens.

98
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, Taco Bob, Yeah, Fantasy League advice,

99
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 3>go pick up Bucks receiver Sterling Shepherd from your waiver wire.

100
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 3>What I was gonna ask you, perfect, what else we

101
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 3>have in sports?

102
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Lightning last night? Right lightning one to eight five last

103
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 2>night over in New Jersey.

104
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 3>There you go, there you go. Oh, here's here's here's

105
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 3>an item. I wanted to get to the home run

106
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 3>ball show. Hey O, tany fiftieth home run ball? Of course,

107
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>he had fifty home runs fifty stolen bases, first major

108
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 3>League baseball player to ever do that. His fiftieth home

109
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 3>run ball fetched four point four million dollars at auction.

110
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 3>That's the highest ever paid for any ball in any sport.

111
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>Could you guys imagine having that kind of just spare

112
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>change laying around to buy something like that. But yeah, yeah,

113
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>come on.

114
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 3>By the way, we had a discussion after, you know,

115
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 3>the ball was caught by the guy and you know,

116
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 3>and we had some Texas calling, oh, he should have

117
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 3>just given the ball to show Eotani for some season

118
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 3>tickets and a sign jersey.

119
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, right, okay, that's exactly what you do, buddy.

120
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the Willy You're holding on to the Willy

121
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Wonka ticket, right, yeah, yes, the Golden ticket.

122
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Good analogy, taco.

123
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I knew this was going to be a wrecord because

124
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 3>first of all, it happened in LA with the Dodgers,

125
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 3>where there's a lot of money, and secondly, show hey,

126
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Otani's like the biggest sports star in Japan. I'm just guessing,

127
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 3>but I'm guessing some billionaire Japanese business executive probably bought

128
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.120
<v Speaker 3>that ball.

129
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.759
