Speaker 2: They continue today with thirteen more one thousand dollars cash prizes,
Speaker 2: first of which right around nine oh five, listen for
Speaker 2: those keyword teach hour to enter at WJRR dot com. Bulldog.
Speaker 2: Are we gonna start with NHL and NBA playoffs scores?
Speaker 2: Are the big Major League Baseball news from yesterday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge baseball news. Rob Mann for the Commissioner of
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball has reinstated Pete Rose and if you
Speaker 3: want to go way back, Shoeless Joe Jackson. Both of
Speaker 3: those players, of course, banned from baseball by their respective
Speaker 3: commissioners back in the day for sports gambling scandals. Pete
Speaker 3: Rose of course bet on the Reds while he was
Speaker 3: a manager and a player of the Reds. He was
Speaker 3: perm banned in nineteen eighty nine. Shoeless Joe Jackson part
Speaker 3: of the Chicago Black Sox scandal, where the Blacks are
Speaker 3: the White Sox players through the World Series essentially essentially
Speaker 3: and now they are eligible to go into the Hall
Speaker 3: of Fame. Now that doesn't mean they're going into the
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. Means they're eligible to be voted upon.
Speaker 3: And there's still some processes that have to go you know,
Speaker 3: have to uh, you know, they have to go through
Speaker 3: certain committees before they can be voted upon. But they
Speaker 3: there will be the option to get them into the
Speaker 3: Baseball Hall of Fame. Rob Manford said he's changing the rule.
Speaker 3: The lifetime band means once a player has passed away,
Speaker 3: then you know that's the lifetime then they can, you know,
Speaker 3: be eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: What do you guys think about that? I love it
Speaker 1: for Pete Rose. I don't know much about Shoeless Joe,
Speaker 1: but well I don't. I don't think these guys belong
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose bet on baseball while
Speaker 1: he's a manager, and while he's a player give me
Speaker 1: a break here, and Shola's Joe Jackson through the freaking
Speaker 1: World Series. Why do these guys belong in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think you should be allowed to vote
Speaker 1: on them, Okay, if you want to vote them.
Speaker 3: I would never vote these guys in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: To clarify, uh, specifically with Rose, true or not true?
Speaker 2: He never bet against the Reds, right right?
Speaker 3: That that's what he said, and they never found evidence
Speaker 3: that he bet against the Reds.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just asking to be to be honest, like
Speaker 1: Pat says. I know that they're not honest with what
Speaker 1: they did. But look at the sports world we live
Speaker 1: in right now. How many of how many of these
Speaker 1: dudes do you think of done sports betting? And then
Speaker 1: you take ni L into everything into account and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what that guy told Pat earlier? Pete Rose
Speaker 1: taught us a slide that we all envied grow that
Speaker 1: we all what does ni L have to do with
Speaker 1: what it has to do with it? Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something, my boys, here comes mister ni L.
Speaker 2: You can call me if you like.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call you Nilli Vanilli's what I'm gonna all right, man,
Speaker 3: please explain us.
Speaker 1: Yes, So, if you have people athletes getting legally paid
Speaker 1: and you have people gambling, I think it's all it's
Speaker 1: Money's money, bro.
Speaker 2: How's that for an explanation?
Speaker 1: Explanation in quotes money money. If you have money, you
Speaker 1: can gamble.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, it is really a good thing. You're
Speaker 2: not a lawyer. Oh god, yeah, you'd have the worst
Speaker 2: win loss record ever. You know how I do it.
Speaker 1: Man, It's all legend.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So they are eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's get to the NBA. Last night, the
Speaker 3: Cavaliers have been eliminated by the Pacers. By the way,
Speaker 3: the Pacers weren't favored in any of the five games
Speaker 3: they played against the Cavaliers, yet they beat them for
Speaker 3: to one. So the Pacers have been getting no respect
Speaker 3: and now they are heading to the conference finals for
Speaker 3: the second straight year after the victory over the top
Speaker 3: seeded Calves. Ok See takes care of business last night
Speaker 3: against Denver. They're up in that series three to two.
Speaker 3: Despite the fact that Nikola Jokic had forty four points
Speaker 3: in fifteen rebounds for the Nuggets last night. He's the
Speaker 3: best player in the world. It's not even close. So
Speaker 3: Denver is one game from being eliminated as well. Other
Speaker 3: sad news when we talked about this yesterday, Just as
Speaker 3: I feared when we were talking about it, the Boston
Speaker 3: celticsnounced yesterday that in fact, superstar forward Jason Tatum did
Speaker 3: in fact rupture his achilles tendon in that Game four
Speaker 3: loss to the Knicks on Monday night. He underwent surgery
Speaker 3: yesterday to repair it. Not only is he out for
Speaker 3: the rest of this season, he's likely out for all
Speaker 3: or most of next season as well, because it's a
Speaker 3: very serious injury. Your achilles tendon't blows out. So I'll
Speaker 3: tell you what again, It's sad for the Celtics, but
Speaker 3: heading in the next season, you had the Cavaliers top
Speaker 3: seed this year, They've already been eliminated. The Celtics, their
Speaker 3: future is in question. The East is wide open. The
Speaker 3: East is gonna be wide open next year.
Speaker 1: I still don't like benefiting off of, you know, somebody's misery.
Speaker 1: That's uh.
Speaker 2: You know what I wonder, guys, sometimes, with the medical
Speaker 2: advances that the world has experienced, why have they not
Speaker 2: been able to come out? I know there's been advances
Speaker 2: and improvements, but when it comes to knees and things
Speaker 2: like achilles, why haven't we come up with something that
Speaker 2: can you know, turn this stuff around faster than what
Speaker 2: those injuries typically present.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Hey, if you're gonna go that, and I'll
Speaker 1: look at technology now that you when you have a
Speaker 1: knee surgery. You don't have a scar pat from here
Speaker 1: to remember those ones from the You know, you'd have
Speaker 1: an uncle who had knee surgery and his leg looked
Speaker 1: like he was attacked by gators.
Speaker 3: Well what you would think with anio all that they
Speaker 3: would do something with knee.
Speaker 1: I mean, nil's nil bruh.
Speaker 2: Boy hockey playoffs last night, Dallas three to one over Winnipeg.
Speaker 2: They're now up three to one in that series. And
Speaker 2: then tonight, big night for you, bulldog. I suppose you
Speaker 2: you haven't a watch party over there.
Speaker 3: At luxroy Man. Yeah. Yeah, Although I'm a little ashamed
Speaker 3: of our minority owner of the Florida Panthers, Doug Sifu.
Speaker 3: He's been banned by the NHL because he got into
Speaker 3: a social media tiff with a Toronto Maple Lee's fan
Speaker 3: that diverted into a profane rant against Palestine and Israel,
Speaker 3: and they.
Speaker 2: Went he stood up for Israel, didn't He?
Speaker 3: He did, But you know the language he used wasn't
Speaker 3: very nice, So I guess they've banned this guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: don't get into two drunken rants on social media with
Speaker 3: fans from the opposing team. If you're the owner, that's
Speaker 3: that's the moral of this.
Speaker 1: Go back to what I said years ago. Pat, do
Speaker 1: you recall what it was probably fifteen years ago, when
Speaker 1: socials are started.
Speaker 2: Up one day there's gonna be something called nil.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bruh, No, it's in il bro that's my phrase.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: No, it's a stay off of socials after three beers.
Speaker 1: That's it. It's not a bad rule to live by
Speaker 1: and go Solar Bears. Even though I can't see this still,
Speaker 1: this whole sports boys, I don't even know if they're
Speaker 1: still in they are they can gass man. Yesterday then
