11
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>one wj r R. Get there before midnight, Bulldog. I

12
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>know you're probably gonna be a half full guy on this,

13
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>but are we gonna have to change the name of

14
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the future baseball team to the Orlando Pipe Dreamers.

15
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

16
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 4>He's using that one.

17
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I promise you that I would use it if I

18
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 3>thought it was Drewe. I don't think it is. I

19
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 3>mean yeah. The news came out yesterday that the Rays

20
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 3>and the Rays announced this themselves. They are in quote

21
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 3>unquote exclusive discussions with a ownership group led by Jacksonville,

22
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the developer Patrick Zalufski, who and you know, concerning a

23
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>quote possible sale of the team. This story sounds fishy

24
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 3>to me. It sounds fishy to me. There's been no

25
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 3>indication of this. The Rays have released this themselves. Usually

26
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 3>teams do not release that they're in negotiations before anything

27
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 3>has been finalized. I think this is Stuart Sternberg just

28
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 3>setting the price for his team, is what I think. Okay,

29
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 3>what what what really changed yesterday? For for Orlando? You

30
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 3>said the pipe dreamers? What really changed yesterday? To me,

31
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 3>nothing has changed the change. Tampa Bay still has to

32
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 3>build a stadium. They still have to build a stadium.

33
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 3>There's you know, is this guy gonna buy a team

34
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 3>without a stadium? I don't think so. If Tampa Bay

35
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 3>builds a stadium, we have we have no chance of

36
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 3>getting a team in Orlando. If Tampa Bay doesn't build

37
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 3>a stadium, then we have a chance of getting a

38
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 3>team in Orlando. Nothing changed yesterday in my opinion.

39
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, now you wrote more on this in New Orlando

40
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 4>Sentinel dot com.

41
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>But we shall see. We shall see.

42
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Is this maybe a game? And I hate to be

43
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>one of those, you know, conspiracy theorists, but is this

44
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>maybe a game of smoking mirrors where somebody like you

45
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>said over in Tampa they're doing it to get a

46
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>price or over here. Do you think it's somebody with

47
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the Orlando Regional I.

48
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Think it's Stu Sternberg, the owner of the Rays, who's

49
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 3>who's not liked over in Tampa Bay. So he's he's

50
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 3>leaking out that the team. He's in negotiations to sell

51
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 3>the team. Why would somebody sell a team just without

52
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 3>putting it on the market. I mean, why wouldn't you

53
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 3>try to get the best offer you could get this

54
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 3>This doesn't make sense.

55
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're trying to speed up Orlando on this deal,

56
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, like our government.

57
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Well I don't know, No. I think Stuve Sternberg is

58
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 3>just trying to get as much money as he can

59
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 3>and he's set this price at one point seven billion,

60
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 3>which is overpriced for the Rais.

61
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 2>But we shall see speak in a sports ownership filia.

62
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and now let's change sports here and go to

63
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 4>the West coast on this doozy.

64
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Lakers are being sold the Bus family, the

65
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>iconic Bus family is entering into agreement, a real agreement,

66
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 3>by the way, not like the Rays proposed agreement. A

67
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 3>real agreement to sell the Lakers to Mark Walter, who's

68
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 3>a global multi billionaire finance guy. He's the guy who

69
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 3>owns the Dodgers as well. The franchise is gonna sell

70
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 3>for about ten billion dollars. That's the highest ever for

71
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 3>a US pro sports franchise. As I mentioned, Walter is

72
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 3>the CEO and chairman of TWG Global, which is a

73
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 3>financial You know, Matt, he's just a huge financial, financial guy.

74
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 3>He owns a bunch of other sports interests, including the Dodgers,

75
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>including an F one team, Cadillac Formula one go down

76
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>the list, Chelsea of the Premier League soccer team. So yeah,

77
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 3>he owns a bunch of stuff. I think this is uh.

78
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, the Bus family has obviously been one of

79
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 3>the best ownership groups in modern sports history. They won

80
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 3>eleven championships while they owned the Lakers. But this guy,

81
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 3>with with the NBA getting more and more expensive, I

82
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 3>think this guy is gonna be an even better owner

83
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 3>for the Lakers because, let's face it, the Bus family

84
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 3>that the Lakers were their main source of income. This

85
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 3>guy is you know, this is a hobby for him.

86
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>So wouldn't that be nice? Actually, I think if I

87
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>had all that money, I didn't even think I'd wrap

88
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>myself around sports and getting the headaches I just be like,

89
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>he's gotta roll around the money all day.

90
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 4>With all the stuff that bulldog reeled off that this

91
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 4>guy owns, It's more like he's a collector, a hobbyist

92
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 4>of yeah.

93
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 3>When you're a multi time, multime multi billion like he's

94
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 3>worth about twel I think twelve billion dollars or something.

95
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Men's College World Series is set now. It's gonna

96
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 4>be LSU against Coastal Carolina.

00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Dog right, the big bad bmth from the SEC against

98
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 3>little Coastal Carolina. What percentage of fans outside of LSU

99
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 3>fans do you think we'll be rooting for Coastal Carolina?

100
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

<v Speaker 1>That's hockey in hockey though, isn't it.

00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.759
