Speaker 1: from Patties, also a grill and tickets for Metallica.
Speaker 2: Again it's on our jar Instagram, So to get by
Speaker 2: there at some point today. I hit Taco right over
Speaker 2: the head with it first thing this morning, Bulldog, those
Speaker 2: yard signs got to go.
Speaker 3: What are we are? We two losses away now from
Speaker 3: the yards uns.
Speaker 2: He keeps changing the starting yesterday.
Speaker 1: But if you guys want, we'll go to in Rol.
Speaker 1: Already in the books. One more loss period and I'm
Speaker 1: yanking them, But what if they are helping?
Speaker 2: So one O four ninety nine they lose on the
Speaker 2: road trip in Golden State last night. Bold. I guess
Speaker 2: four losses in a row and how many of the
Speaker 2: last like eleven or two?
Speaker 4: In their last ten they've lost, I'm eleven of their
Speaker 4: last thirteen they've lost. Yeah, the good news is they
Speaker 4: didn't get clobbered last night. They actually rallied back from
Speaker 4: fifteen down in the second half and again, but they
Speaker 4: lost the game. And that's the that's the bottom line.
Speaker 4: Cole Anthony actually hit a runner with like four and
Speaker 4: a half minutes left, the Magic took the lead, but
Speaker 4: then the Warriors responded with three straight buckets and that
Speaker 4: was that.
Speaker 3: Once again.
Speaker 4: The Magic can't shoot from distance. They're the worst shooting
Speaker 4: team in the NBA. They made just eight of thirty
Speaker 4: two from three point range. That's the twenty eighth time
Speaker 4: this season they shot under thirty percent from beyond the yark.
Speaker 4: Cole Anthony did have twenty six points to Fronz. He
Speaker 4: he had twenty one, fourteen in the fourth quarter. Paalo
Speaker 4: finished with eighteen. But he just continues to struggle. He
Speaker 4: was o of six from three point range and he
Speaker 4: only took one free throw last night, so he's not
Speaker 4: attacking the basket. Yeah, I don't know what the Magic
Speaker 4: are supposed to do right now. They play Sacramento coming
Speaker 4: up on Wednesday night. That's another game that you know
Speaker 4: they're They're probably underdogs in that game. I haven't looked
Speaker 4: at the spread, but Magic not in a good way. Okay,
Speaker 4: they're going down, down, down the standing.
Speaker 1: So how about this, guys, If they lose Thursday, I
Speaker 1: agree to pull the yard signs. Well, they play tomorrow, okay, Well,
Speaker 1: if they lose tomorrow, I agree to pull the yard signs.
Speaker 3: Okay, good.
Speaker 2: In trade deadline coming up this week too, Are you
Speaker 2: hearing any rumblings of potential moves.
Speaker 3: By the Magic, Yeah, not really, not really.
Speaker 4: And if I'm the Magic, you know, if they want
Speaker 4: to make a minor move, fine, I would not make
Speaker 4: a major move the Magic. They need to wait till
Speaker 4: Jalen Suggs gets back. He's still hasn't played so that,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe that'll make the difference. He is the
Speaker 4: heart and soul of their defense. I don't know if
Speaker 4: he's gonna help their shooting any but they just need
Speaker 4: to see what happens when all their players are healthy,
Speaker 4: and you know, reassess after the season, see what happens
Speaker 4: after the All Star break. I wouldn't make any you know,
Speaker 4: lineup shakeups right now, So we'll see what happens. In
Speaker 4: college basketball. Big news, Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton
Speaker 4: announced he's stepping down at the end of the season.
Speaker 4: He's been at Florida State for twenty three years. He's
Speaker 4: seventy six years old, so you know, the program has
Speaker 4: gotten steale. This will be the fourth straight year they
Speaker 4: haven't made the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3: But you knew this was coming. The lawsuit was filed
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4: We talked about it, in which Hamilton is being sued
Speaker 4: by six former players from the last year's team, alleging
Speaker 4: he failed to make good on the promise to get
Speaker 4: each of them two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
Speaker 4: pay for play money. And to me, that was a
Speaker 4: signal that Leonard Hamilton was gonna be gone. The fact
Speaker 4: of the matter is Hamilton is seventy six. The program
Speaker 4: is steel. But it's sad because Leonard Hamilton, he's the
Speaker 4: guy who graduated as players. I mean, he had like
Speaker 4: a ninety percent graduation rate. He mentored players, and those
Speaker 4: are two qualities that are becoming sort of extinct. In
Speaker 4: today's transfer portal world of college athletics.
Speaker 2: So it's just getting and get some cash and move on.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 4: That is exactly what it is. By the way, you
Speaker 4: guys know, I'm an influencer. As I told you last week.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys saw this story, but
Speaker 4: Tony Boselli, the Jaguars Hall of Famer, who I've been
Speaker 4: saying should take over the front office for years now.
Speaker 3: Guess what.
Speaker 4: Yesterday the Jaguars made Tony Boselli their only Hall of Famer,
Speaker 4: the vice president of operations, so he's in charge of
Speaker 4: the front office, just as the Bulldog's been calling for.
Speaker 1: Wow, you are the prediction. You are a true enner.
Speaker 1: Somebody texted in two two five, two six said, you
Speaker 1: boys are high off your ass. If you think them
Speaker 1: OTWN Orlando Magic boys can't turn this season around.
Speaker 3: They can. They can turn it around.
Speaker 4: I mean they have to shoot a little bit better,
Speaker 4: and Palo has to get Palo has struggled since he's
Speaker 4: come back. He's been back twelve games now and he's
Speaker 4: still out of sorts and out of sink.
Speaker 3: So yeah, they can get better.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good season. Still.
Speaker 3: By the way.
Speaker 4: Roger Goodell had his annual Super Bowl press conference yesterday
Speaker 4: and he poo pooed any thoughts that the NFL favors
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Chiefs said, that's a bunch of bumps.
Speaker 2: Our eyes have just been deceiving all of us. That's
Speaker 2: that's we're seeing, you know, mirages.
Speaker 1: And as he walked off, he was humming Taylor Swift song.
Speaker 2: Right right, I saw that Super Bowl. In comparison to
Speaker 2: years past, ticket prices have continued to kind of nose
Speaker 2: dive on the aftermarket. Bulldock.
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're saying that could be Chiefs fatigue.
Speaker 1: It could be, but it's still a great matchup. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see an upset. I think
Speaker 1: you're going to see Chiefs get fatigued. By the way,
Speaker 1: do you guys see this story? A major league umpire
Speaker 1: was fired yesterday because he quote unquote shared a legal
Speaker 1: sports betting account with a friend who bet on baseball.
Speaker 1: He shared an account with a friend who bet on baseball.
Speaker 1: Sounds like he might have been betting on baseball.
Speaker 2: But generally, if you're behind the plate of you know,
Speaker 2: you might want to stay away from the betting in general,
Speaker 2: I would say probably.
Speaker 3: He opened up this betting account in his own name.
Speaker 3: What idiot, what umpire would do that?
Speaker 1: Oh God?
Speaker 2: Alright, all right, Lightning will be back on the ice tonight,
Speaker 2: their home against Ottawa. Puck drops just after seven. Mike
