Speaker 2: in a still shocked building. Wow.
Speaker 3: Tyres Halliburton does it again for the Indiana Pacers. They
Speaker 3: pull off another last second comeback. They beat the heavily favored,
Speaker 3: number one seated Oklahoma City Thunder in their own building
Speaker 3: last night, one eleven, one ten. Haliburton hits. The shot
Speaker 3: was zero point three seconds left. He's hit four either
Speaker 3: game tang or game winning shots in the last second
Speaker 3: during these playoffs. He's been unbelievable. He is missed a
Speaker 3: big shot, no question about it. The Pacers take a
Speaker 3: one to zero lead in this series. The Pacers turned
Speaker 3: the ball over twenty five times they trailed by fifteen
Speaker 3: points in the fourth quarter against the team with the best.
Speaker 2: Home record in the NBA.
Speaker 3: They had no answer for Shay Gildess Alexander, the MVP
Speaker 3: of the league, who scored thirty eight last night, but
Speaker 3: they still won the game the.
Speaker 2: Final again, the final score was their only lead of
Speaker 2: the night. Right, Yeah, believable man talk.
Speaker 1: I told Pat I went to sleep at halftime because
Speaker 1: they were up by I think I had ten or something.
Speaker 1: Okac he was and I said, yeah, why am I
Speaker 1: gonna waste the time? I know who's gonna win the
Speaker 1: whole series? He told me this morning.
Speaker 4: Who want to? Oh my god?
Speaker 3: By the way, this fifth time, this is the fifth
Speaker 3: time of the postseason, in the postseason that Indiana has
Speaker 3: rallied from fifteen points uh, fifteen points down or more. Incredible,
Speaker 3: So yeah, they're they're in credib Well. By the way,
Speaker 3: go read my column in the Orlando Sentinel and you'll
Speaker 3: realize that the Orlando Magic are actually responsible for both
Speaker 3: of these teams being in the finals based on a
Speaker 3: trade they made in twenty six There is.
Speaker 2: A link to that on the jar Facebook if you
Speaker 2: want to go that route as well. All right. Bulldog
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup finals continue tonight with Game two from Edmonton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to win tonight. The Panthers need to
Speaker 3: win the game tonight. Edmonton's had their fun, they won
Speaker 3: game won, so we'll probably win tonight. I think it's
Speaker 3: still going to be a gentleman's sweep for my Panthers,
Speaker 3: but we'll see what happens tonight.
Speaker 1: Is that what you call it a gentleman's sweep? That's
Speaker 1: what you call when they didn't do it sweep verdict.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you let the other team have one game just
Speaker 3: to be polite, Okay, just to be gentlemanly.
Speaker 4: I hear you.
Speaker 3: So, Texas Tech man, they come back. Last night in
Speaker 3: the Women's World Series. Nijari Kennedy, the star pitcher for
Speaker 3: Texas Tech, the first million dollar player and women's softball.
Speaker 3: She sort of blew the game in Game one when
Speaker 3: she was trying to intentionally walk the Texas player and
Speaker 3: the Texas players swings at it and you know, gets
Speaker 3: the game winning hit.
Speaker 1: Well, last night, last batter.
Speaker 3: She just went right at her boom boom boom, struck
Speaker 3: her out on three pitches and Texas Tech ties the
Speaker 3: College World Series one game apiece the deciding game three
Speaker 3: will beat tonight. I know you guys will be tuned
Speaker 3: in for that big news. In the NFL, Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: a Rodgs, the Ayahuasca Kid, going to the Pittsburg Steelers.
Speaker 3: He signs a one year deal last or yesterday, so
Speaker 3: everybody sort of assumed he was going to end up
Speaker 3: with the Steelers because the Steelers made no real moves
Speaker 3: at quarterbacks. And now Aaron Rodgers, forty one years old,
Speaker 3: will quarterback the Steelers next year. And I know Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers name still has a lot of casheat. He's a
Speaker 3: four time MVP. This is a splashy signing by one
Speaker 3: of the league's most respected franchises. But when you boil
Speaker 3: this down, this is simply an aging over the hill
Speaker 3: quarterback signing with a sort of proud but desperate franchise
Speaker 3: that hasn't won a playoff game in forever. Do you
Speaker 3: guys think this is gonna turn out?
Speaker 2: Well? I don't. I don't, And I think what this
Speaker 2: is to extend on your thought, there is a guy
Speaker 2: hoping to go out on his own terms with a
Speaker 2: spectacular phoenix rising from the ashes type season, which that'd
Speaker 2: be nice it'd be a great story.
Speaker 1: But come on, I think that they're gonna make it
Speaker 1: at least into the playoffs with him, and maybe he'll
Speaker 1: do well next season once he gets peace. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a raw you know me. I'm team namer A roj
Speaker 1: and Terry Bradshaw. I have a question for you, mister
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw. How that taste? What Terry Bradshaw did well?
Speaker 1: Bradshaw made well. It was while you were on vacation.
Speaker 1: Bradshaw was like, man, he wished that Aaron Rodgers would
Speaker 1: just stay in the desert and eating mushrooms and talking
Speaker 1: to the gods.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: You think you think they're gonna make the playoffs. I
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a flaming dumpster fire myself.
Speaker 1: I say playoffs, you go, dumpster fire?
Speaker 4: Pat, I say, injured by mid season? Oh god, okay,
Speaker 4: I'm ready they get injured. Anthony Richardson, the former Gator
Speaker 4: quarterback number four overall pick by the Colts a couple
Speaker 4: of years ago in the draft. He's hurt again. Now
Speaker 4: he's hurt again, shoulder injury. They don't know when he's
Speaker 4: gonna be back, don't even know if he'll be back
Speaker 4: by training camp. So Anthony, is it time to declare
Speaker 4: him a bust?
Speaker 1: By the way, I predicted it before he even got
Speaker 1: to the NFL, when I watched him in Gainesville a couple.
Speaker 2: Of games watching it.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a freak athlete, but he's a China doll.
Speaker 3: He's just He's just a China doll. He can't stay healthy.
Speaker 1: And when you leave a game, you know, in the
Speaker 1: middle of it, you just walk off the field because
Speaker 1: you're tired.
Speaker 3: You mean when he tapped out, Yeah.
Speaker 1: He tapped out.
Speaker 2: He was that dude.
Speaker 1: Seriously, I've told both of you guys going to those
Speaker 1: Gators games, he was hot and cold. You'd sit there
Speaker 1: and go, God, this guy's awesome, and then you'd say,
Speaker 1: this guy sucks.
Speaker 3: Hey, let's real quick. You're mister Motorsports. So NASCAR's in
Speaker 3: Michigan this week. You want to explain how this in
Speaker 3: season tournament.
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna attempt to No, No, come on, man.
Speaker 3: They're starting their in season tournament this week in Michigan,
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to figure out. I don't even quite
Speaker 3: understand how their playoffs work. Just now, we're going to
Speaker 3: the in season tournament, which I don't understand.
Speaker 2: Man, I sometimes I just shake my head at some
Speaker 2: of the At least NASCAR has a willingness to, you know,
Speaker 2: try to change and roll and do different stuff.
Speaker 3: But no, NBA now is an n season tournament. MLS
Speaker 3: obviously has in season tournaments. Now I'm NASCAR. Why don't
Speaker 3: these these sports leagues just just admit, hey, our season's
Speaker 3: too long. Okay, maybe we should just shorten our season
Speaker 3: so we don't have to have these in season tournaments
Speaker 3: to try to keep people interested.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 1: Agree?
Speaker 4: I agree?
Speaker 2: No, no F one desk action this week. F one
Speaker 2: is off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what That's what's making NASCAR do all this
Speaker 1: stuff too. Is F one's scaring them.
Speaker 2: Maybe a few years ago, I think that threat is
Speaker 2: kind of backed off a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're hearing this in the background, Hey, Dog, I wrote
Speaker 1: down our predictions for a Rodge again to recap. I
Speaker 1: took a picture as well, Dog dumpster fire Pat injured
Speaker 1: halfway through the season and me playoffs we go.
Speaker 2: There you go. You know, you know what this feels
Speaker 2: like to me? Real quick?
Speaker 3: This feels like, Yeah, the Steelers obviously had passed glory
Speaker 3: a rodds. They feel like sort of the the guy
Speaker 3: going through the midlife crisis, trying to recapture their glory,
Speaker 3: right right, buying a Mazda Miata, you know, getting hair plugs.
Speaker 2: I think it's a.
Speaker 1: Corvette, not a Miada.
