30
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 6>app Listen live. It's seven ninety Louisville dot com. We've

31
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 6>got super Bowls set and clearly there's a lot of

32
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 6>fatigue with really both these teams. And I've often tried

33
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 6>to embrace greatness whenever it comes to sports, because you know,

34
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 6>there are athletes, teams, dynasties. I guess that become pretty

35
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 6>easy to dislike you get tired of them. I mean,

36
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 6>I think fatigue is a real thing in sports as

37
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 6>a viewer, but I feel like, more often than not,

38
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 6>when that's happened in my life as a fan, I've

39
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 6>been able to, you know, not let it consume me,

40
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 6>right like, not make it to it's not let me

41
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 6>got to get to the point where I just don't

42
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 6>want to watch, because there are teams that I just

43
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 6>genuinely don't like or don't want to see win. But

44
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do it.

45
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 6>I cannot imagine that I'll avoid the super Bowl because

46
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 6>I just I mean talk about fomo, like if like

47
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 6>if the super Bowl's on and everybody, because socially, there's

48
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 6>not a person I know that that is not doing

49
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 6>something for super Bowl. Rather it be I mean, I

50
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 6>shouldn't say doing something. Maybe you're not going to a party,

51
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 6>but like it's appointment viewing for a lot of people,

52
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 6>even if you're not like a big sports fan. Clearly

53
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 6>sports a big part of my life. So it's not

54
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 6>like I'm saying here I'm so upset that I just

55
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 6>don't want I won't watch. I'm gonna watch, but man,

56
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 6>the fatigue is at an all time high. And I

57
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 6>can acknowledge greatness with Mahomes and the Chiefs, I can

58
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 6>even acknowledge maybe not greatness, but like the Eagles, they

59
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 6>have a very great franchise, they have a winning culture.

60
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 6>This is their second time there in three years. They're

61
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 6>not that far removed from winning one with Nick Foles,

62
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 6>so you know they're they're great too. But man, I

63
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 6>just I don't like either of these teams really, And

64
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 6>I'm sure when this thing kicks off next Sunday, it'll

65
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 6>just be automatic for me. I want to have to

66
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 6>think about it at all. I'm gonna be cheering for

67
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 6>the Eagles. I just imagine that's what will take place.

68
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 6>But I think it just seemed like last night the

69
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 6>haters know that they're haters for reasons that are you know,

70
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 6>really just they fall under being a hater, right, Like

71
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 6>I don't I've said this many times since the Mahomes

72
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 6>and the Chiefs have really been in this position, which

73
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 6>has been a long time folks, Like, I know, they've won,

74
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 6>they've won two in a row. This will be the

75
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 6>three peat if they get it done. But even before

76
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 6>the first one here of this potential three peat, like

77
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 6>they were the face of the NFL when it comes

78
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 6>to their franchise, right once, once the Patriots kind of

79
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 6>faded away, it became the Chiefs. And even before then,

80
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 6>the Chiefs were already sort of a big deal in

81
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 6>the NFL. So I've always felt like, man, I wish

82
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 6>they were a little bit more easy to hate. I

83
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 6>think Travis Kelce is a pretty easy guy to know,

84
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 6>can't stand Yeah, I mean, and I think he probably

85
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 6>would even you know, like tell you that, like that's

86
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 6>kind of part of his brand. But ay reads not

87
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 6>easy to dislike. Yeah, I don't know many Chiefs fans.

88
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 6>I think if I did live around them, then maybe

89
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 6>it'd be a little easier. But one of my bigger

90
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 6>and I'm sure Kentucky fans feel the same way. And

91
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 6>Austin I know. You know this when you think of

92
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 6>like the you know, the anti Kentucky vibe that Louisville

93
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 6>fans have and vice versa.

94
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>On the other.

95
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 6>Side, because players, coaches and all that, they come and go,

96
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 6>you don't maybe maybe you do think of a specific fan,

97
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 6>like maybe if you're a Louisville fan and you're a

98
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 6>hater of Kentucky, maybe you just think of Mad Jones,

99
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 6>And if you do, I get it, Like I understand,

100
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 6>but like you just think of their fan base in general,

101
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 6>and you know that not every fan is the same

102
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 6>and all that kind of stuff. But like with the Chiefs,

103
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 6>I really don't know what makes them so hateable other

104
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 6>than the fact that they're really really good. Like Pat

105
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 6>Mahomes last night, he did the weird he messed up

106
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 6>trying to spike the ball and then he kind of,

107
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 6>you know, he had fun with it and you know,

108
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 6>tried to make I guess, make fun of himself. Like

109
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 6>I think he seems to be a pretty likable guy.

110
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 6>Like I haven't watched the show, but it hit me

111
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 6>last night. I think the reason that the Quarterback show

112
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 6>that I have not yet watched on Netflix that's now

113
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 6>really old. I think they've done like two seasons or something. Yeah,

114
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 6>but everybody tells me that like Pat Mahomes seems like

115
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 6>a pretty down to earth, chill guy that like, you

116
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 6>probably won't think he's like the best dude in the

117
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 6>world if you watch it, but you'll probably find him

118
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 6>pretty hard to really dislike. Because Yeah, and one thing

119
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 6>that I think that he has done well that like,

120
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 6>I think he deserves more credit for. I don't really

121
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 6>know how you go out of your way to do

122
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 6>it because it has nothing to do with him as

123
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 6>a player. But like his family have been huge distractions

124
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 6>and have been, you know, awful, Like they're the ones

125
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 6>who are really easy to dislike. His wife not as

126
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 6>much anymore, but even every now and then, she still

127
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 6>like just wants to inject herself into a story when

128
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 6>she's not needed. Uh huh, and she just I mean again,

129
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 6>this is me being honest with you. It shouldn't matter.

130
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 6>But her voice alone, I'm like out, no, no, I'm

131
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 6>out on her. And then there is a clown, an

132
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 6>absolute clown that that has had Jackson. Yeah, that has

133
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 6>been arrested for some awful stuff and I think charges

134
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 6>were at some point drop, but like there was video

135
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 6>surveillance of what he he seems like a real piece

136
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 6>of work.

137
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 3>It's dad. Hopefully he gets help, but it's dad, I

138
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 3>mean his dad.

139
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 6>If it wasn't Patrick Mahomes, you know, the senior, he

140
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 6>might have been prison for as many du wise as

141
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 6>he had. Dude, So all that's happened, and yet he's

142
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 6>never publicly like making excuses for them, like he kind

143
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 6>of just you know, like that would be tough to

144
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 6>deal with. So I did a lot of thinking last night,

145
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 6>like am I about to like embrace the Chiefs in Hell? No,

146
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 6>I can't do it, But I just want to have

147
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 6>something to root for in the Super Bowl, And when

148
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 6>it starts, I'm going to be rooting.

149
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 3>For the the Eagles. I think it'll come naturally.

150
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 6>But I don't like the Eagles either, And I guess

151
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm I'm not doing what a lot of others are

152
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 6>doing because I've seen this and I don't know if

153
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 6>it's just like something to do for attention.

154
00:06:58.079 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 3>But there are some people that are like, look, I.

155
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 6>Didn't I never really liked them, but man, I'm kind

156
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 6>of I'm kind of just being the devil's advocate here.

157
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 6>I kind of like the Chiefs only because of how

158
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 6>many people hate them. And you do see that from

159
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 6>time to time, right, Like somebody is so hateable, and

160
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 6>then all of a sudden, you know it's worked for

161
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 6>them to where they they People find redeeming qualities in

162
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 6>people like that.

163
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, this is the matchup.

164
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 6>Neither of us want it, right, and it's the one

165
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 6>we got, and I mean, I guess, I mean we'll we'll.

166
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I say, we'll see what happens. I have

167
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.240
<v Speaker 6>a very hard time seeing seeing the Chiefs lose. But

168
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 6>then again, the Eagles have looked really impressive throughout the

169
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 6>entire postseason, and I've mentioned it here and there over

170
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 6>the last few weeks as the playoffs have gotten started,

171
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 6>like they're not only good, Like I didn't realize they

172
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 6>had a phenomenal season and they're playing really well right now,

173
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 6>so maybe they will in fact get it done. But

174
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 6>I think a Chief's three pet is probably what's most likely.

175
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 3>And I'm just curious, like what.

176
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.720
<v Speaker 6>The reaction will be, because what else can be said? Right, Like,

177
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 6>I think it'll be a lot of folks acknowledging. Yeah,

178
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 6>Ara dynasty. Yeah they're great, mahomes get some favorable calls

179
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 6>and they're really good, but man, I hate them.

180
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Like, don't you feel like that'll be that'll be the

181
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>reaction for most.

182
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 5>I just can't stand that meathead Travis Kelcey.

183
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

184
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 5>I can't stand to see him up there on the

185
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 5>Winter Circle doing the you gotta fight for your right

186
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 5>to party or because you kind of look like him

187
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 5>and he should stop it. He's such a d bag

188
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 5>and you see him acting like that, and it makes

189
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 5>you makes you feel bad because you're like, wait a second,

190
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 5>that guy looks like me.

191
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 3>He needs to carry himself a little bit exactly.

192
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 5>Or maybe I could just be him, except I'm unathletic,

193
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, I don't put my mind to things.

194
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 6>I think you've got all the good traits that he

195
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 6>doesn't have, though oh.

196
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>Of course I probably got a better beard than he does.

197
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna lie.

198
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 6>Think you look like him. Is the is the is

199
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 6>the facial hair that's what really stood out. And you're

200
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 6>pretty tall too.

201
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a little bit. I can hard one.

202
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 6>You didn't you didn't expect me to be guessed, and

203
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 6>you have no the first ten minutes of the show.

204
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Here like it purely there we are purely unletted gas

205
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 5>up too.

206
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like that not diesel work.

207
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 6>I I I'm sure there are many And I'm not asking,

208
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 6>like for people to call in and like make this

209
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 6>part of the show, but I am, and I guess

210
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 6>this is you know I'm asking.

211
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 3>But then again, I don't really want to make it

212
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 3>a huge thing. But I just thought.

213
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 6>About this right before the show started, and I probably

214
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 6>could have done a little more prep to maybe answer

215
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 6>my own question if it didn't come to me at

216
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 6>about two fifty eight. But was there fatigue with Jordan

217
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.480
<v Speaker 6>and the Bulls? I mean again, you see, I would

218
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 6>have know that was kind of so hourly in my time.

219
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 6>I remember that era, but I was young. I mean

220
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 6>I was I was between like eight seven and I

221
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 6>was feeling like seven and ten during that run of

222
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 6>the Bulls, and I remember being a big deal. I mean,

223
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 6>it was all anybody talked about. But and I'm sure

224
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 6>there were haters, like people that didn't want to keep

225
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 6>seeing Jordan and the Bulls. When I remember as a

226
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 6>kid knowing that Jordan got calls that other people didn't like.

227
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 6>I remember my dad we watched you know, the Bulls

228
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 6>and the Pacers play, and it was a weird thing

229
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 6>for me as a kid because I was a diehard

230
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 6>Pacers fan. Really, when I thought the pay if the

231
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Pacers had their best team, Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson, Jalen Rose, Like,

232
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm sure it's just what I tell myself to feel

233
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 6>better about my Pacers, But like, I feel like I

234
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 6>would have been able to see Reggie and the guys

235
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 6>win a ring had they not had to go up

236
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 6>against you know, the Bulls and Jordan, and then after

237
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 6>that it was Kobe and Shaq. So I'm sure that's

238
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 6>just what I tell myself to feel better about it.

239
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 6>But like, even knowing that Jordan apparently got some calls

240
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 6>that you know, that other players didn't get, I just

241
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 6>there could not have been this level of like just

242
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.720
<v Speaker 6>people being tired of seeing it. And I'm thinking, okay, well,

243
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 6>maybe it's just because they were that great. You knew

244
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 6>you were witnessing something that special to where you didn't

245
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 6>even really let anything distract you from that. You just

246
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 6>knew you're watching this legendary team with the guy that

247
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 6>you know is Michael Jordan. I think even in the nineties,

248
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 6>people knew Michael Jordan forty years later it roughly thirty

249
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.440
<v Speaker 6>years later was going to be remembered as an ultimate legend.

250
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 6>So aren't we seeing the same thing here with Patrick Mahomes.

251
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this guy's about to win his four Super Bowl.

252
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.039
<v Speaker 6>He's not thirty years old, is he? I mean, I

253
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 6>don't think so old as Patrick Mahomes like he. I

254
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 6>mean's got to be like twenty seven. You got in

255
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 6>the league when he was like twenty eight, and when

256
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.320
<v Speaker 6>you look at yeah, he's twenty nine years old, he'll

257
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 6>be he'll be thirty thirty incep he's twenty nine, he'll

258
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 6>be thirty in September. But again, he's been in the

259
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 6>league since twenty seventeen and he's been insanely good since

260
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 6>he became their starter. We're talking about a guy who

261
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.000
<v Speaker 6>has I mean, I don't know what is what the

262
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 6>record is, but he's certainly he has some type of

263
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Speaker 6>record already as far as wins in the playoffs, and

264
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.320
<v Speaker 6>it might be win percentage, which of course, you know,

265
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 6>would make total sense. But like, this guy's twenty nine

266
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 6>years old. I don't see him slowing down. And yeah,

267
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 6>he maybe wasn't as flashy, his stats weren't as great

268
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 6>this year, but none of that's gonna matter with him.

269
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 6>If they keep winning in the postseason and he keeps

270
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 6>winning Super Bowls and Super Bowl MVPs, I mean, he's

271
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.519
<v Speaker 6>going to either He's going to even further his legacy,

272
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 6>which has already said as one of the best of

273
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 6>all times. So again, it sounds weird kind of saying

274
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 6>that that Jordan's greatness is comparable to what Mahomes is

275
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 6>doing now, but I mean it is. What I think

276
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.559
<v Speaker 6>is the biggest different is that the Internet, like social media,

277
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 6>I mean the Internet in general, I suppose, but like

278
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 6>Jordan benefited from there not being as much access, like

279
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean, like there wasn't there wasn't

280
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 6>camera phones back then. I'm not saying he was like

281
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 6>this bad guy or anything like that, but it seems

282
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.320
<v Speaker 6>like Jordan in that era.

283
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>And look, maybe I'm way off here.

284
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm thirty six years old, so I mean I remember

285
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 6>Jordan playing for Chicago, but I wasn't reading the newspaper

286
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 6>or you know, listening to I mean, in fact, that

287
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 6>kind of media didn't really exist back then, right like

288
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 6>you had your you had your Capital J columnists that

289
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 6>would write some pretty scathing pieces about players and whatnot.

290
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.240
<v Speaker 6>But I mean, it was just a different world. So

291
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 6>like if I wanted to hear haters of Michael Jordan

292
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 6>when I was seven years old and nineteen you know,

293
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 6>nineteen ninety four or ninety five or whatever it was,

294
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 6>I wouldn't even.

295
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Really know where to look for that.

296
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 6>You have to go read like a New York Times article.

297
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 6>So I mean, I guess I'm trying to self diagnose here.

298
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 6>I know that I'm a hater and I don't really

299
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 6>want to be. But then again, like there are like

300
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 6>there are see I'm trying to think, Yeah, the Warriors,

301
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 6>I mean that I hated the Warriors and therefore, like

302
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 6>I was all in on rooting for the Calves when

303
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 6>it was whenever we had I mean, if you can

304
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 6>call the rivalry, and that's what really soured me on

305
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 6>the NBA is whenever, Like they wouldn't acknowledge that that

306
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 6>it was a rivalry, Like they're too cool for rivalries,

307
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 6>which the NBA's got bigger issues than just that. But

308
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 6>my point is, like, I don't I want them to

309
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 6>be more hateable, and yet everybody hates them, so therefore

310
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 6>I kind of at times feel like, all right, well

311
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.799
<v Speaker 6>it's not just me. Everybody doesn't like these guys, but

312
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.279
<v Speaker 6>I mean other than other than the Taylor Swift stuff,

313
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 6>which again, like I still don't know how legit all

314
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 6>that is. Clearly it's not totally made up. But either way,

315
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 6>like that just made them annoying, you know what I mean.

316
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 6>They didn't make them hate they didn't make them hate it.

317
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.559
<v Speaker 5>I think that's what sent everyone over the edge, that

318
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 5>they were tired of it and they were just sick of.

319
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh ye, there's a narrative.

320
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, they show her every single cutaway, so I'm sick

321
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 5>of even though that's not the truth. They do show

322
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 5>her a lot, but I don't know, there's just something

323
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 5>that's weird about that whole situation. I was once a

324
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 5>swiftye way back in the day. I loved I loved

325
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 5>the country music Taylor Swift, and I like some of

326
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.879
<v Speaker 5>her pop stuff too, but understood like the type of

327
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 5>man that she did not want and every single song

328
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 5>that she sung about was about like these d bags

329
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 5>like you just said, and then she then then she's

330
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 5>all of a sudden with one. And I know he

331
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 5>had that catching up with Kelsey where he's just swerving

332
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 5>women letting right.

333
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.399
<v Speaker 6>I forgot a lot about his brand before he was

334
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 6>with her, Like he to me, he was like the.

335
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:32.600
<v Speaker 3>He was a gronk.

336
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 6>And I don't mean to do like the stereotypical tight

337
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 6>end thing, but like it's almost like he kind of

338
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.639
<v Speaker 6>wanted to be like gronk the party or the knucklehead.

339
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 3>And look, he the.

340
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Guy that looks you know, I mean, he looks pretty

341
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 5>and he's a handsome man, especially when he was younger.

342
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 5>He is an athlete, he was built, so he is

343
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 5>obviously using his platform. And I think how they ended

344
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Speaker 5>up getting together was like as a starter show that

345
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 5>the start of there, Yeah, it was something else. The

346
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 5>start of their relationship started like at the beginning of

347
00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.559
<v Speaker 5>that aristour a couple of years ago, and he said

348
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 5>he answered a question on it and he said something

349
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 5>like Taylor Swift holler at me or something like that.

350
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.799
<v Speaker 5>So it's just like using this platform and that's how

351
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 5>he got her. Like you probably wouldn't be with her

352
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 5>if you just weren't a part of the most famous

353
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 5>team right now. But once again, I probably come off

354
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 5>as like an absolute hater for that, and go ahead

355
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 5>and bury me all you will, But that's just what

356
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 5>I can't stand. It's there's nothing to dislike about my homes.

357
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:24.399
<v Speaker 5>I really do like Andy Reid.

358
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I like some of it.

359
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Ye same here.

360
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I love how they could just take a team up.

361
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 5>They could just get rid of Tyreek Hill, they're their

362
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 5>best receiver that they've ever had.

363
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And go out win a championship. They can just.

364
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely get destroyed by the Bucks in the Super Bowl

365
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.879
<v Speaker 5>because they don't have an offensive line, and then just

366
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 5>restructure it the next year and then they're back like

367
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 5>they respect that.

368
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 6>They're absolutely in the midst of a dynasty. I don't

369
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.840
<v Speaker 6>know if there's a set criteria. I think people kind

370
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 6>of selectively choose what is and what isn't. But I

371
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 6>can't imagine how, even if they don't win it next Sunday,

372
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 6>which they probably will, how you couldn't say that this

373
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 6>is this is absolutely a dynasty, and really hearing a

374
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 6>lot now as far as it's not one.

375
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 3>But I think even the early stages of it.

376
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 6>There was a lot of resistance, which again there are

377
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 6>people probably listening right now that are like, yeah, you

378
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.879
<v Speaker 6>know what, Nick, maybe you're out of something. There's not

379
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 6>necessarily one thing that makes them so easy to dislike,

380
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.679
<v Speaker 6>but man, I dislike him, and I know the mahomes

381
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.960
<v Speaker 6>getting favorable calls is clearly. I mean, that's been one

382
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.559
<v Speaker 6>of the bigger talking points in the playoffs this season.

383
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 6>But I mean that's not his fault. It's the ref's

384
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 6>fault for like rewarding him of that. I mean, maybe

385
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 6>you don't like it what he wants, and that's fine,

386
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 6>but I think if you were in this position and

387
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Speaker 6>you knew that it might work, then maybe you do it.

388
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 6>And I didn't see much yesterday that I mean, clearly

389
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 6>there were a couple of instances where it was it

390
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 6>was a you're just gonna have to make a decision here,

391
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 6>like right, like the interception that they ended up ruling

392
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 6>was that was that was late?

393
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? That was was that in that game?

394
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

395
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 6>It was?

396
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the interception that was I mean.

397
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 6>Trying to think of who the receiver was that went

398
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.399
<v Speaker 6>up to get it, but then it looks it should

399
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 6>have been it should have been in my opinion and incompletion,

400
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.960
<v Speaker 6>because I'm not sure anybody really on the ground even

401
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.519
<v Speaker 6>if Yeah ever even had had the ball. But I mean,

402
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 6>I didn't see anything yesterday that I'm that stands like

403
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Speaker 6>even if I did, I probably forgot about it because

404
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 6>I don't. I've never believed that they win because of that,

405
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.920
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean? Like I wish I could

406
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.240
<v Speaker 6>embrace that, because then it would give me a real

407
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 6>thing to latch onto. As far as why I can't

408
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 6>stand these sobs, but I think even when they do

409
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 6>get the benefit of the doubt from the refs or

410
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 6>they get a call that maybe others wouldn't get, I

411
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 6>still feel like what it comes down to is the

412
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 6>reason it stands out to people as far as them

413
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 6>getting preferential treatment by the officials is because they have

414
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 6>that many haters that don't want to see them win.

415
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 6>And oftentimes what they do is they just make you

416
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.319
<v Speaker 6>pay when you do something stupid, and they don't do

417
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.640
<v Speaker 6>as many stupid things. And you know, that's what great

418
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.960
<v Speaker 6>teams do, So you almost have to be perfect to

419
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 6>be Yeah, and and the Chiefs and the Eagles is

420
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.319
<v Speaker 6>who it's going to be. And I think, look that

421
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.000
<v Speaker 6>was what the expectation was when it comes down to

422
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 6>like spreads and whatnot.

423
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 3>But man, I just I don't know.

424
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 6>For some reason, I thought of one of the upsets

425
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.559
<v Speaker 6>would in fact happen, right, the Bills would maybe breakthrough,

426
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.559
<v Speaker 6>or the Commanders could still ride some magic. But nope,

427
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 6>we get Eagles, we get Chiefs, and you know, it

428
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 6>is what it is. Maybe by the time we get

429
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 6>to Super Bowl Sunday, I'll be more energized. But like

430
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm in a weird way, I'm kind of glad we

431
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.880
<v Speaker 6>get a week off of football because I just, you know,

432
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 6>I need some time because I'm not ready to embrace

433
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.960
<v Speaker 6>this matchup. But it's a Super Bowl, right, It's the

434
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 6>biggest sporting event of the year in this country.

435
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 5>Here, So for the parties, the Buffalo Chicken dip, some

436
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 5>of the prop, weird prop.

437
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, they're gonna have. It's a show. It's a show,

438
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 3>all right.

439
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.039
<v Speaker 6>We got to run. But we've got a lot more

440
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 6>time left here. First segments in the books. But we'll

441
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.519
<v Speaker 6>talk some college basketball. Never again, guys, we can't have

442
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.119
<v Speaker 6>a week off of Louisville basketball when they're riding the

443
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.960
<v Speaker 6>momentum they're riding right now. And they didn't play this weekend,

444
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 6>of course, but still some things we need to discuss

445
00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 6>that happen over the weekend.

446
00:18:59.039 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 3>With this basketball.

447
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 6>They're back in action tomorrow in a game that should

448
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 6>have a little more juice to it.

449
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 3>Than it does.

450
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna revisit the whole wake Forest thing because man,

451
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.960
<v Speaker 6>they are I mean, they're a good team in my opinion,

452
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.400
<v Speaker 6>and Louisville, if they beat them tomorrow, stands very little

453
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 6>to gain. And if wake Forest, you know, ends up

454
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.440
<v Speaker 6>missing the tournament, like it's their own fault, I think.

455
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 6>And we'll get to that Kentucky lost. That was fun.

456
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 6>It gains bandy and we'll take you up to six o'clock.

457
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 6>So hang out right here on SportsTalk seven ninety.

458
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

459
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 1>sports Talk seven nine day.

460
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.319
<v Speaker 6>So after last weeks ninety eight to seventy three victory,

461
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 6>Louisville is now up to number twenty one from twenty

462
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 6>five in the Apeople. A lot of teams that were

463
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 6>ranked lost last week. In fact, looks like a lot

464
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 6>of teams really overall. I mean, look, there's the same

465
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 6>amount of games every week and there's winner and there's

466
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 6>winners and there's losers. But I feel like we've had

467
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.039
<v Speaker 6>two straight weeks, and I guess usually you get this

468
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:04.319
<v Speaker 6>in conference play when you're about a month into it,

469
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 6>where you know you'll see In fact, I feel like

470
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 6>you can go back and look at national championship teams,

471
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 6>even Final four teams, and there's always like a stretch

472
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:16.480
<v Speaker 6>around January early February where you know they lose three

473
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:17.119
<v Speaker 6>out of four or.

474
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Something like that.

475
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 6>So I'm sure some of these teams that have taken

476
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 6>some l's as of late, you know, it's just part

477
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.440
<v Speaker 6>of it. I mean, heck, the SEC is a loaded conference.

478
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.559
<v Speaker 6>I think the Big Twelve is not as top heavy,

479
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 6>but I think there's depth there to where you're gonna

480
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.839
<v Speaker 6>see a lot of teams. I mean, in fact, I

481
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 6>think Houston's in the driver's seat right now in the

482
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 6>Big Twelve after their win against Kansas. But I mean,

483
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.920
<v Speaker 6>I wouldn't be shocked if, just like the SEC, you

484
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.279
<v Speaker 6>end up seeing a league champion that has more losses

485
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:46.720
<v Speaker 6>than you typically expect a team that wins the league

486
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:49.519
<v Speaker 6>to have. But Louisville up to twenty one, Kentucky now

487
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 6>at number twelve after their loss to Vane. We'll talk

488
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 6>some some basketball a little bit later on, but you know,

489
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.799
<v Speaker 6>rankings like the AP pole, it really is. I mean,

490
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 6>I find myself not even really paying a whole lot

491
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.039
<v Speaker 6>of attention to it in recent years, and I now

492
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 6>know it's because, I mean, the team that I care about,

493
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 6>that I would want to be ranked, was never going

494
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 6>to be ranked, and now they are. So just seeing

495
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:16.079
<v Speaker 6>that number next to your name when you play it

496
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.680
<v Speaker 6>doesn't do anything for your resume, It doesn't do anything

497
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.079
<v Speaker 6>for I mean it does it it quite literally when

498
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 6>it comes to like seating in the tournament, which does

499
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 6>matter where you're ranked or how often you're ranked during

500
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 6>the season, and the app pole means absolutely nothing, but

501
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.519
<v Speaker 6>it you know, as a fan of it makes you

502
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 6>feel good that your team's in the top twenty five.

503
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.599
<v Speaker 6>And you know, those that are objective voters, at least

504
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 6>we hope they are, they view your team as one

505
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.720
<v Speaker 6>of the twenty five best teams in the country. Again,

506
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.279
<v Speaker 6>one of the little things that we used to just

507
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.400
<v Speaker 6>get used to to where now you know, we didn't

508
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 6>have it for a long time. So Louisville up to

509
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 6>number twenty one, Auburn. In fact, the top five remains

510
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 6>the same. You've got Auburn at one, Duke two, Iowa

511
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:59.559
<v Speaker 6>State three, Alabama four, and Florida is at number five.

512
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 6>And we'll talk some hoops coming up here shortly. Louisville

513
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.720
<v Speaker 6>a big game tomorrow against wake Forest, and it sets

514
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 6>up nicely where they've got a chance to I mean,

515
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 6>when it comes to the rest of the schedule, who

516
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 6>you have not played yet in the ACC, and knowing

517
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:17.160
<v Speaker 6>how down the ACC is this year, this is a

518
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 6>team that is coming off a loss to Duke. But

519
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.720
<v Speaker 6>like wake Forest, I mean, of the teams that you

520
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.759
<v Speaker 6>have left on the schedule that you haven't played, I

521
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:29.400
<v Speaker 6>think they're clearly head and shoulders above everybody else, which

522
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 6>again says more about the league than anything else. Kentucky

523
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.599
<v Speaker 6>they got Tennessee tomorrow, which I mean, I don't know

524
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:37.119
<v Speaker 6>if i'd be one to I don't know if I

525
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 6>would want to be limping in to that game against

526
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 6>Caliperry on Saturday in Lexington, because I mean, you could

527
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.920
<v Speaker 6>still win. Arkansas is not good, but I don't know

528
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.279
<v Speaker 6>what I think is going to be tricky about that

529
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:52.880
<v Speaker 6>game is one. What happens tomorrow night in Knoxville, Kentucky

530
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:54.759
<v Speaker 6>finds a way to win there, that would be a

531
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 6>big confidence boost forum as you could expect. And the

532
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 6>guys playing in this game for Kentucky have no connection

533
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 6>to Caliperry at all at all. I mean, they weren't

534
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 6>recruited by him, they didn't play for him. I mean,

535
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 6>so they're gonna know that, like it's a big game

536
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:11.920
<v Speaker 6>for their fans. They're going to know that that coach

537
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 6>on the other sideline is a is a legend at

538
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 6>Kentucky and used to coach there. So I mean, part

539
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:20.359
<v Speaker 6>of me says it'll be just another game for them,

540
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 6>but I don't know. I feel like the atmosphere there,

541
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:27.319
<v Speaker 6>the intensity there. Heck, I mean, let's be real, Kentucky's

542
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 6>gonna have what three players on their on their on

543
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 6>the court for them that played at Kentucky a year

544
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.079
<v Speaker 6>ago for cal So like maybe they're the ones who

545
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, there's some there's some real personal proude there.

546
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.440
<v Speaker 6>They want to go play for their coach, who you

547
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 6>know is going to be booed by fans there. But anyways,

548
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.839
<v Speaker 6>we'll get to that later on the the Super bowls

549
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:46.680
<v Speaker 6>Now said as we discussed that was the first segment,

550
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 6>just here we are. The fatigue has certainly set in

551
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:53.039
<v Speaker 6>for many people, myself included, and Nate Berlins. Nate Burlinson

552
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.559
<v Speaker 6>said something last night after the game, and I I

553
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 6>usually can hear this and think, you know what, he's right,

554
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 6>but I just I can't get there yet.

555
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>It is to the fan bases out there.

556
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 4>If you're not a Chiefs fan, that's okay, but resist

557
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.240
<v Speaker 4>the urge to fall for the narrative that we're tired

558
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.599
<v Speaker 4>of seeing them win, that we might be fatigued of

559
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 4>watching KC go to the Super Bowl over and over again.

560
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:16.640
<v Speaker 3>You are witnessing greatness.

561
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:18.680
<v Speaker 2>And just be happy that you are allowed to be

562
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:19.799
<v Speaker 2>there to see it.

563
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 6>So I used to be able to hear stuff like

564
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 6>that and say, yeah, okay, maybe that's corny, but he's right.

565
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:28.000
<v Speaker 6>Like whenever Lebron and I don't know how many times

566
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.640
<v Speaker 6>Lebron's going to be back in the finals, but when

567
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.119
<v Speaker 6>Lebron was when I when I was anti Lebron, and

568
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.799
<v Speaker 6>I'm not I'm kind of whatever about Lebron.

569
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not.

570
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 6>Here's how I described me with Lebron. I do believe

571
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:40.039
<v Speaker 6>he's one of the best of all time, and I've

572
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.960
<v Speaker 6>enjoyed watching him play. I think it's cool to be

573
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.400
<v Speaker 6>able to say whenever I'm you know, seventy, god willing

574
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.839
<v Speaker 6>I live that long. I can tell my grandkids that

575
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 6>I watched Lebron James career from start to finish, because

576
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:52.480
<v Speaker 6>no matter what happens from here on ow, he's going

577
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:54.200
<v Speaker 6>to be viewed as one of the greatest. But also

578
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 6>I understand why people don't really care for him, you know,

579
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 6>because he's he's Lebron and he's he said, it's not

580
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 6>like he's he's a criminal. He's not the worst guy,

581
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 6>but like he's also at times been very He's had

582
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.759
<v Speaker 6>very little awareness as far as how he comes off

583
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 6>to people. And I think when you're somebody like that

584
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 6>that's been a phenom, a global celebrity since you were

585
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.880
<v Speaker 6>a teenager, it probably is a little tough for you

586
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:20.319
<v Speaker 6>to have awareness like a you know, a normal citizen would. So,

587
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, when Lebron and the Warriors or Lebron and

588
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 6>the Cavs, I just keep saying, Lebron, it was Cleveland.

589
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 6>When Cleveland and Golden State kept meeting in the NBA Finals,

590
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 6>I got some fatigue, but I was interested because I

591
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.799
<v Speaker 6>hated the Warriors so much. That gave me something to

592
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 6>really root for whoever was playing the Warriors whenever it

593
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 6>was Alabama was at Alabama and Clemson. I feel like

594
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 6>that met all the time in college football championshipe like

595
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 6>at least three years.

596
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 3>They played each other, and you know there was fatigue there.

597
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 6>But I remember thinking, Okay, well I'm watching Nick Saban

598
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.920
<v Speaker 6>coach Alabama, which again one of those things that I'll

599
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 6>be I'll look back and say I was really it

600
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 6>was really cool to be able to see that because

601
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 6>I think his run there will be talked about till

602
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 6>the end of time. And again, all these things you

603
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 6>can say about Mahomes and the Chiefs, but I just

604
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 6>I haven't been able to, I guess, grow up when

605
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:06.559
<v Speaker 6>it comes to them and be the mature sports fan

606
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 6>that's just going to, you know, say, look like it

607
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 6>or not. I'm watching greatness and that's what you want

608
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 6>to do. And I've always said if you don't have

609
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 6>anybody to root for, you would want to see that

610
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 6>the two best teams left are playing.

611
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I think we have that.

612
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 6>No, like the Bills had a chance to prove me wrong,

613
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:24.240
<v Speaker 6>the Ravens had a chance to prove me wrong. They

614
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.480
<v Speaker 6>couldn't come through, So I think right now, again, I'm

615
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:29.480
<v Speaker 6>just trying to find if you're somebody like me, that's

616
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.039
<v Speaker 6>a little bit, you know, not all in here with

617
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 6>this matchup because of the fatigue that is set, and

618
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm trying to find some things that can maybe get

619
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.079
<v Speaker 6>us perked up a little bit. And I don't really

620
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 6>know if there's anything out there. But again, the fact

621
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.599
<v Speaker 6>that you know you're going to watch the two best

622
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 6>teams in the NFL, I mean, that's what you'd expect.

623
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:48.880
<v Speaker 6>But how many times in sports do we know there's

624
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.640
<v Speaker 6>a team sitting at home that should be there, right,

625
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean I think even the Ravens could maybe say that.

626
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's what it could have should have If

627
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:55.519
<v Speaker 6>he didn't win in the in the playoffs, then you

628
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.400
<v Speaker 6>don't deserve to be there. But a lot of times

629
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.759
<v Speaker 6>in sports, I think you do, in fact have teams,

630
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 6>Like in college basketball, it's very common, right, more often

631
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 6>than not, the team that you believe is the best

632
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 6>in the country did not make it there to cut

633
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 6>down the nets at the Final four, because you know

634
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 6>it's not easy to do. So for what it's worth,

635
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 6>probably not much of anything. At least we can say

636
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 6>these two teams, whoever wins this is going to be

637
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 6>able to claim they were the best in the in

638
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 6>the NFL, and anybody who wins the Super Bowl can

639
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 6>say that. But I mean, heck, the last time the

640
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:24.160
<v Speaker 6>Eagles won it, I'm not sure we were saying that, right.

641
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:25.880
<v Speaker 6>You know, it was a long time ago. They were

642
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 6>going up against Brady two. Yeah, it was Foles, Nick

643
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.480
<v Speaker 6>Foles of all people exactly, which, by the way, what

644
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:33.960
<v Speaker 6>an outlier for his career, right, Like, guy was never

645
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.440
<v Speaker 6>anything other than that moment in the Super Bowl and

646
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.799
<v Speaker 6>that that season really, which is is kind of crazy.

647
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 5>But stomp the Vikings out of their magical carpet ride

648
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.920
<v Speaker 5>season in that NFC championship game and.

649
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Then who was Kirk there?

650
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Then?

651
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 2>No, I was case Keing.

652
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's what I thought. Came in the very next year,

653
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:50.400
<v Speaker 3>That's what I thought.

654
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:52.720
<v Speaker 5>And so that that's that's what irritates me, just as

655
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.440
<v Speaker 5>being like a salty, begrudging Vikings fan is just like

656
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm sitting there watching the teams and granted, I mean

657
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Washington's really really good too. I think Minnesota plays Washington.

658
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.839
<v Speaker 5>There's no way that they win.

659
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:07.279
<v Speaker 2>But like watching the Eagles, watching the Bills, watching the Chiefs.

660
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 5>Like seeing that sort of football and big players and

661
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 5>big moments, and then just like looking at my team,

662
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 5>it's like they're playing a completely different sport, and like

663
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 5>just knowing what it takes to win those kind of

664
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 5>games and just knowing in the back of my mind,

665
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.960
<v Speaker 5>like my team isn't even close to that. That's what

666
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 5>kind of gets that. That's what irks me up a

667
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 5>little bit. But it's it's my own damn team's fault

668
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 5>yep I better.

669
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 6>So the text line says, Nick, you hit it on

670
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 6>the head. There was certainly fatigue with Jordan and the Bulls,

671
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.720
<v Speaker 6>but there wasn't social media. Therefore, it just wasn't as

672
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.839
<v Speaker 6>big of a thing. I mean, again, that's just a

673
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.519
<v Speaker 6>product of it being a different era in society, you

674
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:45.000
<v Speaker 6>know what I mean. Like now, people at any moment

675
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.240
<v Speaker 6>can can share an opinion and probably if they don't

676
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.640
<v Speaker 6>have a big following or nobody, I mean, it may

677
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:53.400
<v Speaker 6>be an echo chamber, but at least they have the

678
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 6>ability to just put it out there and say they're

679
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 6>expressing what they want.

680
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, back then, like that wasn't a thing. So, I mean,

681
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.799
<v Speaker 3>everything was different in the world.

682
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 6>So you know, I'm not surprised, because that's the question

683
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 6>I asked for those that are just now joining us,

684
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 6>like there's clearly some real fatigue here. But when I

685
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 6>my first dynasty, the first time, I remember watching sports

686
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 6>thinking Okay, this will probably be and I doubt this

687
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 6>was going through my mind, this exact you know, thought process,

688
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 6>but it was just clear to me, even as a youngster,

689
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.759
<v Speaker 6>that what I was watching with Jordan the Bulls was

690
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 6>was legendary, something that I'll probably remember forever and everybody

691
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:28.559
<v Speaker 6>will who was able to experience it. But I just

692
00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 6>don't remember there ever being any level of like hatred

693
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.279
<v Speaker 6>and being tired of seeing them continue to win. But

694
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:36.599
<v Speaker 6>one I was young. But also even if that was

695
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 6>the case, you wouldn't be able to check the pulse

696
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.559
<v Speaker 6>of society like you can now when it comes to

697
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, the internet. So yeah, one thing we did

698
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.839
<v Speaker 6>not talk about when it comes to yesterday's championship games,

699
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 6>as we now have the Bills in the Eagles set

700
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.000
<v Speaker 6>to face off in the Super Bowl, was the flag

701
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:54.640
<v Speaker 6>that wasn't actually thrown. And I don't mean like a

702
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:58.640
<v Speaker 6>penalty that wasn't called. But I'm surprised this hasn't happened

703
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 6>more often in football, and maybe it hasn't, I just

704
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:05.079
<v Speaker 6>don't remember. But with the Chiefs up thirty two to

705
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.200
<v Speaker 6>twenty nine, two minutes left in regulation, the Bills had

706
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:10.920
<v Speaker 6>a fourth and five from their forty seven yard line,

707
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 6>and right after the play ended, clearly it looked as

708
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:20.200
<v Speaker 6>if it was an unsuccessful thing for Buffalo, which it was.

709
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.559
<v Speaker 6>But here's what Jim Nance had to say on CVS.

710
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:25.839
<v Speaker 6>Quote the whole season on the line for Buffalo. Here

711
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 6>here they come. He just desperately throws it up in

712
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 6>the air incomplete. Kincaid was right there, there is a flag.

713
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.799
<v Speaker 6>There was nine seconds of silence between Nance and Romo

714
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:40.240
<v Speaker 6>before Romo said, quote, I didn't see a flag thrown there,

715
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker 6>and then Nance responds quickly, I'm told there was a flag.

716
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Romo then started to analyze the play, with Nance saying

717
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:51.559
<v Speaker 6>in the background, no flag. So before we dive in here.

718
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 6>When I saw that and knew that there wasn't a

719
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.440
<v Speaker 6>flag thrown and that Romo was kind of correcting Nance,

720
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.359
<v Speaker 6>I instantly thought somebody had to tell him that, like

721
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:05.880
<v Speaker 6>that has to be how this works, because again, I'd

722
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 6>never really thought about it because I don't really care. Right,

723
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 6>if I'm watching a game that I care about and

724
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 6>there's a flag, I want to know what the hell

725
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.680
<v Speaker 6>the flag's for, Right, I'm not thinking about who's relaying

726
00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 6>the information to the broadcasters. But because of how quickly

727
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:20.440
<v Speaker 6>they typically will tell you, there's no scenario, especially where

728
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:22.440
<v Speaker 6>they sit like they're viewing that on a TV just

729
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.559
<v Speaker 6>like you are, by the way, like they're not. Maybe

730
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 6>they've got the ability to see. In fact, I'm sure

731
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.440
<v Speaker 6>they do have the ability to see different views, different

732
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.000
<v Speaker 6>angles and whatnot in certain instances, but when they're watching

733
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 6>it live, they're not watching it like with binoculars. I

734
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:36.480
<v Speaker 6>mean they are, but they have a monitor in front

735
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 6>of them, and even if they have great vision, like

736
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.039
<v Speaker 6>they're going to see a better view of what's going

737
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.359
<v Speaker 6>on by watching these you know, probably eight K camera

738
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 6>feeds that are right there on monitors in their broadcast booth.

739
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.759
<v Speaker 6>So I just initially thought, well, somebody, hopefully they don't

740
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 6>lose their job, but you know, if they do, I'm

741
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 6>sure that's one area where you know, because everybody kept

742
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:58.119
<v Speaker 6>saying that was a terrible look, like CBS can't have

743
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:02.319
<v Speaker 6>that happen, And I guess I get it because at

744
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 6>the end of the day, this is entertainment and they,

745
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:10.559
<v Speaker 6>I guess, teased fans that wanted the flag, Like again,

746
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:12.240
<v Speaker 6>I don't. I mean, it's just a mistake. I don't

747
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 6>think it changed the overall production of the broadcast. But

748
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 6>it's not something I can remember ever happening. And I

749
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.359
<v Speaker 6>can see why if you're CBS, and especially if you're

750
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 6>Jim Nance, you're thinking to yourself, how do we mess

751
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:26.279
<v Speaker 6>that up? Because for nine seconds when it was silent,

752
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:29.039
<v Speaker 6>and if you're a I feel like it's everybody right,

753
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 6>if you're a Buffalo fan or you just hate the Chiefs,

754
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:33.519
<v Speaker 6>you're sitting here thinking, all right, what was it? What

755
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:35.960
<v Speaker 6>was it? What are we gonna get here? Is it

756
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.519
<v Speaker 6>gonna be fourth and fourth and five or something because

757
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.000
<v Speaker 6>of them? Because of you know, of offsides or did

758
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 6>they get roughing the pass or something like that. And

759
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 6>as soon as Romo said I didn't see a flag,

760
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:48.960
<v Speaker 6>and then Nance said I'm told there was a flag,

761
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 6>I realized there was clearly some miscommunication going on. So

762
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 6>this is according to Sports Illustrated Jimmy Tranya, who covers

763
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 6>sports media for Si. He talked to Nance earlier this morning,

764
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 6>and this is what Nance told him. When you have

765
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:05.559
<v Speaker 6>flags on the field, they can be thrown in the

766
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:07.880
<v Speaker 6>secondary and the offensive backfield, all over the place. So

767
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 6>there's a spot or that works in coordination with the

768
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 6>broadcast team. I'm just taking what information has passed along.

769
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.319
<v Speaker 6>I'm scanning the field, and for the life of me,

770
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.799
<v Speaker 6>I can't find a flag. But the graphic is up

771
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.640
<v Speaker 6>and I'm told which, just which, just part of the

772
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 6>chain of communication, I'm told there's a flag. The first

773
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:25.880
<v Speaker 6>thing you do when you're told is you scan the

774
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.839
<v Speaker 6>field and identify for your own, for your own, you know,

775
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:30.359
<v Speaker 6>for your own way of looking at it. Then he

776
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:34.039
<v Speaker 6>goes on to say, you know, I think I not

777
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 6>to get deep into the weeds here, because it sounds

778
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.000
<v Speaker 6>like he used like an entire conversation rather than just

779
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 6>a quote from from from you know, the question but

780
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 6>Harlan or not Harlan, But but Nance was looking for

781
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.480
<v Speaker 6>the flag because essentially the guy they never they never

782
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:51.519
<v Speaker 6>get that wrong, but they did that time. And of course,

783
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, again, I didn't feel like anybody needed I mean,

784
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:55.920
<v Speaker 6>it was a mistake, and mistakes happened, and when you've

785
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:58.839
<v Speaker 6>got millions and millions of people watching to see if

786
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.519
<v Speaker 6>the Bills can stay in this drive, stay alive and

787
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 6>maybe knock off the Chiefs. You know, it's a tease

788
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:06.000
<v Speaker 6>and it's a it's it's a goof you don't want

789
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 6>to make. But I I don't know, I guess because

790
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.239
<v Speaker 6>it's not something I can remember happening before.

791
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.559
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I just didn't know what to expect.

792
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 6>As far as like the backlash, but clearly there were

793
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.599
<v Speaker 6>a lot of people upset that that's that's the way

794
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:23.079
<v Speaker 6>it played out. But also the radio call, Kevin Harlan

795
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.199
<v Speaker 6>and Devin mccordy were doing the Brock doing the game

796
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 6>for radio for Westwood One. They apparently have the same

797
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:34.800
<v Speaker 6>spotter and and they Harlan also said flag, So like

798
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 6>somebody just thought there was a flag, or maybe it

799
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.400
<v Speaker 6>was wishful thinking. I don't know, but uh, yeah, that

800
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:41.679
<v Speaker 6>was the mistake. And again, more than anything, for me,

801
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:43.760
<v Speaker 6>it was just a surprise that we haven't seen that before,

802
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.559
<v Speaker 6>because look, I think some guys were like yellow cleats

803
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:48.719
<v Speaker 6>or yellow socks, and I think that's a flag, right.

804
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:53.159
<v Speaker 6>So I didn't get my hopes up because even if

805
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 6>they would have gotten a flag. They're like, let's just

806
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 6>say they did call like roughing the passer and the

807
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.280
<v Speaker 6>bill get a new set of downs. I needed to

808
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:04.960
<v Speaker 6>see somebody kill the Chiefs to think they're dead, right,

809
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.079
<v Speaker 6>Like that's the way that was going. Like, even if

810
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 6>they would have scored, I would have thought, well, you know,

811
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 6>I've seen this movie before. I know what's going to

812
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 6>happen with Kansas City. And as much as I hate it,

813
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 6>you know, hard to you know, hard to fake it,

814
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:22.119
<v Speaker 6>they're great and they usually win in clutch time and

815
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 6>something I think you might have alluded to this briefly

816
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:25.360
<v Speaker 6>when were talking about earlier, Austin, But.

817
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Like they make it look easy.

818
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.119
<v Speaker 6>They make it look like they like we would die

819
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.079
<v Speaker 6>for our teams to be in this position, right, we

820
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 6>would die.

821
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:34.599
<v Speaker 3>And they are out there like they're not even caring

822
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:35.360
<v Speaker 3>and it's just.

823
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, throwing in on and seven just out.

824
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:40.440
<v Speaker 6>They're having fun with the boys, you know, and like

825
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 6>it's crazy. But I'm a hater, all right, quick break

826
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:44.840
<v Speaker 6>will come back on the other side, keep it rolling along.

827
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:46.880
<v Speaker 6>It's Coffee and Company. Feel about Thornton ready here on

828
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:47.800
<v Speaker 6>Sports Talk seven ninety.

829
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Coffee and Company. Fueled by Thornton's on

830
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day.

831
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:59.039
<v Speaker 6>You know another thing I haven't found myself looking for

832
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.199
<v Speaker 6>in a long time, and I wasn't looking for it

833
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 6>today is happening to see it the annual McDonald's All

834
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 6>American rosters, and Louisville has a McDonald's All American for

835
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:14.079
<v Speaker 6>the first time in a long time, as mckel brown

836
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.679
<v Speaker 6>Junior was named to this year's McDonald's All American Team.

837
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Kentucky has one player and one native in the game

838
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:25.480
<v Speaker 6>this year, Malaca Moreno, who's at Great Crossing High School

839
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:28.519
<v Speaker 6>in Scott County. He's committed to Kentucky and he also

840
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.280
<v Speaker 6>made it, and I guess, yeah, it looks it says

841
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:33.039
<v Speaker 6>here that he is the sixteenth McDonald's All American from Kentucky,

842
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:35.159
<v Speaker 6>not meaning, you know, to go to Kentucky, but you know,

843
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 6>plays his high school basketball here in the state to

844
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 6>make the game.

845
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 3>And I wouldn't be shocked.

846
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:41.719
<v Speaker 6>Cal had a ton of McDonald's Americans, but I'm not

847
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 6>sure he ever had one from Kentucky, mostly because there

848
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 6>weren't many. There haven't been many that have come out

849
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:49.400
<v Speaker 6>of the state. But yeah, mckel brown Junior is the

850
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:54.880
<v Speaker 6>first McDonald's all Americans. Since anybody know Austin, you have

851
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 6>any clue?

852
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let me guess. Let me take a guess. It's

853
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:00.440
<v Speaker 2>it's Can I take two guesses?

854
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Who guesses? You got Sam Williamson that's it?

855
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

856
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.159
<v Speaker 3>And twenty nineteen.

857
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's gonna be him or VJ.

858
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:07.599
<v Speaker 3>King.

859
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 6>Yep, those were both the last two in fact, And

860
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:14.159
<v Speaker 6>you know Sam, it never, I mean it just never.

861
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:17.800
<v Speaker 6>It never worked out. Clearly he was not and I

862
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.079
<v Speaker 6>don't want to not. I mean when you are nominated

863
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 6>and you get a chance to be on because there's

864
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 6>a lot of nominees, and then of course when they

865
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 6>decide the roster, I mean, you carry expectation and expectation

866
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.440
<v Speaker 6>about you as a player that he's hard to live

867
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.079
<v Speaker 6>up to. And Sam's one of those guys that I

868
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.119
<v Speaker 6>got to be honest, it wasn't as if you know

869
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 6>he Just give me an example. This is somebody we

870
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:41.840
<v Speaker 6>talked about a couple of weeks ago, Wayne Blackshear, wasn't

871
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 6>McDonald's all American wayan black cheer. I mean, although he

872
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:46.880
<v Speaker 6>didn't get drafted into the NBA, he had a really

873
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 6>good college career, played for some really good teams and

874
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:51.320
<v Speaker 6>was in a thousand point score at a program like Louisville,

875
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:52.840
<v Speaker 6>So some would still say that, you know, maybe he

876
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.440
<v Speaker 6>didn't live up to the hype that comes with it

877
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.199
<v Speaker 6>because he didn't become like a lottery pick. But you know,

878
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:00.920
<v Speaker 6>Sam's one of those guys that I mean, he went

879
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.360
<v Speaker 6>on to SMU and finished his career and I'm not

880
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:05.280
<v Speaker 6>even sure he was like a full time starter. So

881
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, he'll be in the group of players they

882
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:10.719
<v Speaker 6>bring up and think, wow, I forgot about that guy

883
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:11.559
<v Speaker 6>or who was that guy?

884
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.000
<v Speaker 3>So you know, I just I remember being.

885
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 6>So annoyed by the way in which fans would would,

886
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 6>I guess, treat this. And what I mean by that

887
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.280
<v Speaker 6>is the rivalry around here when Cal showed up, and

888
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:29.760
<v Speaker 6>really he did it the whole time he was here.

889
00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:32.159
<v Speaker 6>I mean, he recruited at an insane high level. No

890
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.880
<v Speaker 6>matter how it ends for him at Arkansas, good or bad.

891
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.239
<v Speaker 6>I mean, even if he falls apart now, and you know,

892
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 6>really falls apart, I think you can always claim that

893
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:44.920
<v Speaker 6>he had the best run we'll ever see when it

894
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.239
<v Speaker 6>comes to college basketball recruiting, just because again you've never

895
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:49.920
<v Speaker 6>seen him before. I don't think you'll ever see it again.

896
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.760
<v Speaker 6>So because of that, you know, Louisville recruited really well

897
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:57.960
<v Speaker 6>under Patino, they just didn't recruit as good as their rival,

898
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:02.320
<v Speaker 6>which nobody did. Would get players that were good, but

899
00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:05.880
<v Speaker 6>because they weren't Burger boys, it's almost as if like

900
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:08.320
<v Speaker 6>we felt like we got a group of duds, and

901
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.440
<v Speaker 6>you know that was never the case. Like the Donovan,

902
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:15.280
<v Speaker 6>Mitchell Dingadell Ray Spaulding, Quentin Snyder, those are all like

903
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:18.519
<v Speaker 6>top fifty nationally, top forty thirty depending on where you look,

904
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 6>depending on which player you're talking about. They just they

905
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.239
<v Speaker 6>fell short because there's there's you know, there's only so

906
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:26.760
<v Speaker 6>many slots that that you know, you have to fill

907
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:30.280
<v Speaker 6>the McDonald's all American rosters. So Kentucky not having Jasper

908
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.679
<v Speaker 6>Johnson appears to be a big issue with Kentucky fans.

909
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:37.480
<v Speaker 6>And I don't know why he wasn't listed, because you know,

910
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 6>he's I mean, I would have guessed that he would

911
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.400
<v Speaker 6>be McDonald's American just considering where he's ranked in the

912
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:46.519
<v Speaker 6>ESPN rankings. Sees he's in the top top twenty. I

913
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:48.880
<v Speaker 6>think he's at like seventeen. I think he's a five

914
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.320
<v Speaker 6>star recruit just about everywhere, So I don't know why,

915
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:52.719
<v Speaker 6>but I did say, like it's one of those things

916
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 6>that just appeared on my on my algorithm here on

917
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.480
<v Speaker 6>Twitter slash x, because it's something everybody's talking about. How

918
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.960
<v Speaker 6>could how could Jasper Johnson now be a McDonald's All American. Well,

919
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.800
<v Speaker 6>I thought it was because he played for over Tommy Leit. However,

920
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.880
<v Speaker 6>they changed that rule meaning if you play for over

921
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:11.880
<v Speaker 6>Time Elite, it used to disqualify you from being eligible

922
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.800
<v Speaker 6>for the McDonald's All American Game. Rob Dillingham not being

923
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:18.400
<v Speaker 6>a McDonald's All American, if you remember, that was a

924
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 6>big deal because he was, you know, an elite player

925
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:21.840
<v Speaker 6>but didn't get the nod.

926
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:25.800
<v Speaker 3>And after that they did the two sides.

927
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.719
<v Speaker 6>The McDonald's All American Game people and of course the

928
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:32.519
<v Speaker 6>ote over Time Elite. They they somehow figured something out

929
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:35.280
<v Speaker 6>to where you could in fact be a McDonald's American

930
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:36.800
<v Speaker 6>if you played for over Tommy e Leit. So the

931
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.199
<v Speaker 6>only reason I could think as to why Jasper Johnson

932
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:41.599
<v Speaker 6>didn't get it, other than maybe they just you know,

933
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.320
<v Speaker 6>decided he wasn't quite good enough or they you know,

934
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.199
<v Speaker 6>just didn't have a spot for him, would be that

935
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:47.159
<v Speaker 6>maybe he's.

936
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Because is he a fifth year guy?

937
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:51.119
<v Speaker 6>Like you used to be able to and you still can,

938
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.119
<v Speaker 6>by the way, Like you can graduate high school and

939
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:56.159
<v Speaker 6>then go to prep school for a year like oh Hill,

940
00:40:56.639 --> 00:41:00.000
<v Speaker 6>like Okill Academy, and the other schools like that, Huntington Press,

941
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:03.719
<v Speaker 6>the prep schools Montverd they've produced. I mean, those are

942
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 6>high school super teams essentially every year. And now you

943
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:09.280
<v Speaker 6>got guys that go there from like their jute for

944
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:12.440
<v Speaker 6>their junior and senior year. But those those prep schools

945
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.920
<v Speaker 6>used to really exist for a year for a year

946
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.360
<v Speaker 6>of postgrad, meaning you just needed another year to like

947
00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:21.519
<v Speaker 6>if you were a really good player, but you know,

948
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.199
<v Speaker 6>you just didn't quite reach your potential, or you had

949
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Speaker 6>some academic stuff that wasn't Like if you had minor

950
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:29.400
<v Speaker 6>academic stuff, you'd go to prep school. If you had

951
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.000
<v Speaker 6>legitimate academic stuff that was going to keep you from qualifying,

952
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:35.079
<v Speaker 6>you go to junior college. So now they don't really exist,

953
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:37.599
<v Speaker 6>meeting these schools four guys that are fifth year. But

954
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:39.800
<v Speaker 6>I wonder if that's still a rule that for example,

955
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.639
<v Speaker 6>who was there was probably not a bigger recruit in

956
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.000
<v Speaker 6>the country at the time John Wall came out, Well,

957
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.679
<v Speaker 6>John Wall was a fifth year guy that went postgrad,

958
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:51.639
<v Speaker 6>meaning he was a year removed from high school when

959
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.519
<v Speaker 6>he played his final season before going to Kentucky. So

960
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:56.559
<v Speaker 6>clearly he was like the number one or number two

961
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.960
<v Speaker 6>player in the country, but he didn't qualify. Same thing

962
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.480
<v Speaker 6>with Terry O's ear. If you remember, Rosier committed to

963
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:06.239
<v Speaker 6>Kentucky out of Shaker Heights up there near Cleveland and

964
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.880
<v Speaker 6>had a you know, phenomenal senior season. In fact, when

965
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.480
<v Speaker 6>he committed to Louisville, he wasn't really that highly regarded,

966
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.039
<v Speaker 6>but he ended up having a really strong senior season,

967
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.199
<v Speaker 6>jumped up the rankings. Well, then he had to go prep.

968
00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 6>He went to Hargrave and played for a year, and

969
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.719
<v Speaker 6>at Hargrave, I mean that's where he became kind of

970
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:23.440
<v Speaker 6>a bit in fact at the time, and this is

971
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:27.320
<v Speaker 6>such a nerdy recruiting thing that I remember Terry ended

972
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:28.800
<v Speaker 6>up there was one I think it was when Evan

973
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:32.760
<v Speaker 6>Daniels worked for Scout, which Scout ended up getting I

974
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.800
<v Speaker 6>guess absorbed by twenty four to seven Sports. But Scout

975
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:40.559
<v Speaker 6>they had they would include players that were fifth years

976
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 6>and fifth year guys in their rankings. So Terry, you know,

977
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:47.159
<v Speaker 6>he was a postgrad guy, and he didn't end up

978
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:49.480
<v Speaker 6>being ranked in a lot of other rankings out there

979
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 6>from the competitors like ESPN, I Guess Rivals, but in

980
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:56.280
<v Speaker 6>Scout he was like the number fourteen player in that class,

981
00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:58.559
<v Speaker 6>and that at the time would have been And sure

982
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:00.280
<v Speaker 6>enough it worked out because Terros there're still playing in

983
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:03.079
<v Speaker 6>the NBA today. But yeah, McDonald's All American rosters have

984
00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:06.519
<v Speaker 6>been set, and I'm not into recruiting like I used

985
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:08.679
<v Speaker 6>to be for a variety of reasons, but mostly because

986
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 6>it's just not as important. You still want to bring

987
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:14.199
<v Speaker 6>in really good players that are young. You still are

988
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:18.840
<v Speaker 6>gonna understandably celebrate when your team has McDonald's All Americans.

989
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:22.000
<v Speaker 6>But you know, for Louisville, it's been a while since

990
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:24.199
<v Speaker 6>I've even thought to check the rosters, because you know,

991
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:27.519
<v Speaker 6>it wasn't like I was expecting to see any of

992
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:32.039
<v Speaker 6>Louisville's commits be featured in this event, but sure enough,

993
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.880
<v Speaker 6>we've got one now for the first time since twenty nineteen.

994
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:37.920
<v Speaker 6>In fact, I'm trying to think of all the McDonald's

995
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.119
<v Speaker 6>All Americans that have come to Louisville in my lifetime,

996
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:44.960
<v Speaker 6>because I know Shane and Wayne were both McDonald's All Americans.

997
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.559
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned VJ. King, he was one.

998
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:51.920
<v Speaker 6>Sam Peyton was one. Yeah, Peyton Siva was in McDonald's

999
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:52.400
<v Speaker 6>All American.

1000
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.119
<v Speaker 2>That's right. He had a great dunk contest. Yeah he

1001
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:57.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't win it, did he No.

1002
00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:59.920
<v Speaker 6>In fact, he went I'm not sure if they called

1003
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.760
<v Speaker 6>that at the time, but he went viral because he

1004
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:06.719
<v Speaker 6>actually was doing that. I think his McDonald's An American

1005
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.119
<v Speaker 6>game was played in Miami, I believe, and he was

1006
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:11.639
<v Speaker 6>doing some stuff at the practice. Peyton was that like,

1007
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:16.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean like three sixty between the legs dunks with Yeah,

1008
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:18.599
<v Speaker 6>I mean like it was. It was really impressive stuff.

1009
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:22.239
<v Speaker 6>So the legend, yes, that's right. Who mixtape dot com?

1010
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.079
<v Speaker 3>I remember that? You know that was Scotch Yep, that

1011
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:26.079
<v Speaker 3>was that was Uh.

1012
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:28.760
<v Speaker 6>I was gonna say it wasn't early Internet, but man,

1013
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:33.039
<v Speaker 6>that that you know, it's crazy how you mentioning ball

1014
00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:35.159
<v Speaker 6>of is life Like? To me, that seems like it

1015
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.000
<v Speaker 6>was a few years ago. Like, dude, that was like

1016
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:40.639
<v Speaker 6>fifteen years ago. Those you know, that was that was

1017
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:44.760
<v Speaker 6>how you first got Now everybody's got highlight mixes for everybody,

1018
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.039
<v Speaker 6>but at that in that stage of the Internet, if

1019
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:49.119
<v Speaker 6>you had like if you you didn't have a Ball

1020
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:51.320
<v Speaker 6>as Life mixtape unless you were a really good player,

1021
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:52.039
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean.

1022
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.840
<v Speaker 3>And now it's you know, it's much easier.

1023
00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:56.239
<v Speaker 5>I always followed that just because, like that was in

1024
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:59.480
<v Speaker 5>the days where cow was ranking in all those players,

1025
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.000
<v Speaker 5>and I would just see sort of the players that

1026
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:04.519
<v Speaker 5>Louisville was kind of looking at and would watch them,

1027
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.519
<v Speaker 5>and I just thought that that was a measuring stick

1028
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:08.599
<v Speaker 5>of Oh, these guys are good to have their own

1029
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Ball as Life. You know who I really really really

1030
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:14.039
<v Speaker 5>wanted and was just like so sad that they never

1031
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 5>got because I know it was pretty close when it

1032
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 5>came down to it. But you remember that guy that

1033
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:20.440
<v Speaker 5>went to Baylor, Quincy Miller. Oh yeah, Deuce Below, Like

1034
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.159
<v Speaker 5>those two I remember they were pretty head on close

1035
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:26.000
<v Speaker 5>with Baylor Louisville. Oh and then they ended up going

1036
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:26.760
<v Speaker 5>to the Baylor.

1037
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:27.920
<v Speaker 2>But I two of my.

1038
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.159
<v Speaker 3>Favorite high school players asked for money. Is that what happened?

1039
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah?

1040
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:34.679
<v Speaker 6>Rick Patino tells Scott Drew hooked him up. Rick Patino

1041
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.480
<v Speaker 6>tells a story who and that's who he's referring to.

1042
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.679
<v Speaker 6>He's never said a name, but Below was in It

1043
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:42.679
<v Speaker 6>was twenty eleven, which gosh, that was a long time ago.

1044
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:44.719
<v Speaker 6>Fourteen years he was, I mean, he was one of

1045
00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:47.599
<v Speaker 6>the top ten top five players in the country. Him

1046
00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:50.360
<v Speaker 6>and Deuce were I feel like, I don't think they

1047
00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:52.719
<v Speaker 6>were brothers, but they were like best friends. Yeah, and

1048
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.840
<v Speaker 6>they like lived together, grew up together, and they were

1049
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:55.519
<v Speaker 6>kind of a package.

1050
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:56.440
<v Speaker 3>He was, I mean he was.

1051
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:58.639
<v Speaker 6>He wasn't as highly regarded, but he was still like

1052
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.320
<v Speaker 6>a top fifty player overall and crazy. They visited Louisville

1053
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:05.039
<v Speaker 6>and I'm pretty sure, I mean, it came down to,

1054
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:08.119
<v Speaker 6>all right, let's talk money, and Rick was like, no, uh,

1055
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:10.639
<v Speaker 6>I mean go. And that's one of those things about

1056
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:13.239
<v Speaker 6>Rick that that it's gonna sound like I'm making an

1057
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:17.599
<v Speaker 6>excuse for him, because you know, clearly he even if

1058
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:19.840
<v Speaker 6>even if I believe that he did nothing wrong, the

1059
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:22.840
<v Speaker 6>NAA did what they did and and and clearly Louisville

1060
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:24.800
<v Speaker 6>had some issues when he was the coach. But if

1061
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:26.599
<v Speaker 6>you really give it some thought, you don't even have

1062
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:28.519
<v Speaker 6>to be a diehard Louisville fan or a dier Kentucky

1063
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:31.440
<v Speaker 6>fan to understand this. Rick's ego would never let him

1064
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:35.039
<v Speaker 6>directly be involved or even have awareness that somebody's getting

1065
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:38.280
<v Speaker 6>to pay, somebody's getting paid to play for him, because

1066
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:40.559
<v Speaker 6>Rick is of the mindset that you should pay to

1067
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 6>play for him. Like you know what I mean, Like

1068
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:44.599
<v Speaker 6>he's such I mean, his ego would never let it

1069
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:47.440
<v Speaker 6>like and that's a whole again get into the weeds here,

1070
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.480
<v Speaker 6>but like the Katina pal thing, clearly there was at

1071
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.440
<v Speaker 6>least announce of truth to that. That's disgusting and Louisville's

1072
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:53.079
<v Speaker 6>been punished for that.

1073
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:53.719
<v Speaker 3>We all know that.

1074
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:56.119
<v Speaker 6>But like for those that think Rick would like want

1075
00:46:56.199 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 6>that going on like this isn't even to defend him,

1076
00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:02.079
<v Speaker 6>it's just to point out something that I think is

1077
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:06.360
<v Speaker 6>very common. His ego would never ever let that happen.

1078
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.280
<v Speaker 6>I mean, and that's what still seems crazy, is that

1079
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 6>all that could go on and he didn't know. But

1080
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:14.639
<v Speaker 6>I think it makes sense that you do everything you

1081
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.000
<v Speaker 6>can to keep it from him because he would quite

1082
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:20.039
<v Speaker 6>literally kill you if you were somebody involved in what

1083
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:23.000
<v Speaker 6>went on. And you know, Andrew McGee, I'm sure he's

1084
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:26.760
<v Speaker 6>still alive, but maybe he stayed hiding because he's scared

1085
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:27.039
<v Speaker 6>of Rick.

1086
00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know sure.

1087
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.079
<v Speaker 6>All right, two hours left, keep it locked right here,

1088
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:32.239
<v Speaker 6>Let's talk a little college hoops. On the other side,

1089
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 6>I've already got fatigue from talking about the Super Bowl matchup.

1090
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:37.960
<v Speaker 6>But nothing you can do about it but stick with us,

1091
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.760
<v Speaker 6>don't go anywhere. Two hours left right here on Sports

1092
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:40.480
<v Speaker 6>Talk seven ninety
