<v Speaker 2>All right, there's the bulldog ready to go there. He's

5
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 2>there in the luxury condo where you know, all things

6
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 2>sports just are transmitted each morning here during the sports page.

7
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and we have Oklahoma City one win from the

8
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 3>NBA Championship.

9
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 4>They win Game.

10
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 3>Five last night. Jalen Williams man career playoff high forty points.

11
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Shay Gilgess, Alexander the MVP, he had thirty one. The

12
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Thunder take a three to two lead in the finals.

13
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 3>They win one twenty to one oh nine over the

14
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 3>Pacers last night. It was you know, I'll tell you what.

15
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 3>Give the Pacers credit. Even though their star player Tyrese

16
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Haliburton was hurt last night re injured his leg.

17
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 4>He only scored four points.

18
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 3>The Pacers were down eighteen, but they have been the

19
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Kings of the comeback throughout these playoffs. They cut it

20
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>down to two in the fourth quarter and then Oklahoma

21
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 3>City built their lead back up. But the Pacers did

22
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 3>not go down quietly last night. Okay Se, he's the

23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 3>better team. They're the deeper team, they're the younger team.

24
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 3>But this series does return to Indiana for Game six.

25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 3>I think the Pacers is gonna win Thursday force a

26
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 3>game seven at least that's what I hope Sunday.

27
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 4>For the revenue, right, for the revenue, it's all about.

28
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 3>The money beause I like game sevens because you know,

29
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 3>it's exciting and I want something to do.

30
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I want something to watch on something.

31
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you want a Game seven in the Stanley Cup Finals?

32
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Or do you want to just finish this off tonight?

33
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Wait before we go there? Do you know what I

34
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>love about Shaye whatever Alexander. He's such a badass on

35
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the court, But do you see how many signatures he

36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>gives before and after the games?

37
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 3>See, he's like the perfect posters. He talks about who's

38
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 3>the face of the league. This guy should be the

39
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 3>face of the league. He's the m v P. He's

40
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 3>a great role model. The fans love him. He signs

41
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of autographs. He represents the league. Will I

42
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>love sg A?

43
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 4>He's great? Yeah?

44
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Do I win a Game seven in Stanley Cup playoffs?

45
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 3>You know the excitement of it would be fun? But no,

46
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna We're gonna close them out tonight. You know,

47
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna win our second straight Stanley Cup tonight. It's

48
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 3>on our home ice down in Sunrise, and Edmund that

49
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 3>doesn't even.

50
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Know who their damn goalkeeper is gonna be tonight. They're trying.

51
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 3>They're trying to play Coy Stewart skinnerd or Calvin Picker.

52
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 3>Guess what, we don't care. All right, we're gonna fire

53
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 3>shots by you. It doesn't matter who your goalkeeper is.

54
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 3>So I think the Panthers are gonna close them out tonight,

55
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>win a second straight Stanley Cup. The dynasty begins tonight. Okay, right,

56
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 3>what do you think, Lynch?

57
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 2>I think they I think they would like nothing more

58
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 2>than to hoist that cup there at home. And I

59
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna happened. I do, I really do.

60
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 3>So. I was at the Chamber of International Drive Chamber

61
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>of Commerce meeting yesterday where the Orlando Dreamers baseball organization.

62
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 4>They had a.

63
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Public form with all the eye Drive business and tourism leaders.

64
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Two major pieces of news came out of it yesterday.

65
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 3>All okay, when it comes to Orlando's baseball effort. Now,

66
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>the guys that were there, their co founder, Jim Jim Snorf,

67
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 3>their lead investor, Doctor Rick Workman was there. Barry Lark

68
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>and the Hall of famer who's sort of their MLB ambassador,

69
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 3>he was there.

70
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 4>The overall message was.

71
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 3>That the Orlando Baseball effort urgently needs a statement of

72
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 3>support from the Orange County mayor Jerry Demings, the Orange

73
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 3>County government. And that's essentially what they're waiting for now

74
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 3>because they say they've got everything in line. They just

75
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 3>need Jerry Demmings in Orange County to say, hey, yeah,

76
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>we want to play ball, we want to play ball.

77
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 4>And they say, hey, time is ticking.

78
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 3>Major League Baseball wants to know if Orlando's actually interested

79
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 3>or not. So what do you guys think should happen here?

80
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you this would such a statement from

81
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Orange County officials mandates any kind of financial commitment At this.

82
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 3>Point, there's gonna be no financial commitment unless we actually

83
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 3>get a team.

84
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 4>Okay. Now, what I'm saying though.

85
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that they don't have to commit to any number

86
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>or anything right there. If that's the case, and give

87
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>them the green lights, see if they can pull this off.

88
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Why not?

89
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why not just say hey, we're ready to play ball.

90
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 3>If you know, if we can work out a good

91
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>deal and the Major League Baseball wants to come here,

92
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>we are willing to work with them.

93
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 4>That's all they have to say, right, Okay, let's do it.

94
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 4>I hate to say it.

95
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 1>I actually kind of a agree with Demings, where, hey,

96
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 1>let's just not spend all of our taxpayers' money on stuff,

97
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, if that's if that's what he's holding off on.

98
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Good Normally I don't agree with him, but you know, well,

99
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>first of all, it's not our taxpayer money. It's a

100
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe and many six pack from Peoria who come here.

101
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, it's the tourist tax money. It's not our money.

102
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

103
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>The tourist money could be spent otherwise, couldn't it elsewhere?

104
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Can't be spent on roads or No. They just had

105
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 3>a ruling in Tallahassee that even though people think it

106
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 3>should be able to be spent on infrastructure in the

107
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 3>city of Orlando, the the leaders in Tallahassee said no,

108
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 3>you got to spend it on tourist No.

109
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 4>No, I know all that, I get that.

110
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm saying, and I want to get in

111
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the weeds on this, but what I'm saying, is I

112
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>think he's concerned that, Hey, you know, we don't want

113
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to be dumping a bunch of money into the you

114
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 1>guys pipe dream, let them do it.

115
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 4>If they're gonna do it, let them fund it. They're

116
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna they're gonna cash in on it in the end.

117
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't that's not how professional sports works. Taco Bob

118
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 3>and the ideal war in the ideal world, you're right,

119
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 3>but if you won a baseball team, the you've got

120
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>to have a public commitment to it.

121
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>Hey, speaking of baseball, something happened in a College World
