(00:22):
should be. Now we're big time football show. We got
a lot of Super Bowl to get to. But yes,
the NBA is dominated and stole the headlines today. When
did you find out? Were you in bed last night
and you found out this morning or.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Didn't you know what happened?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
No? No, I was in bed. But I'm not a sleeper,
like where I go to bed eight hours and I
don't wake up and I'm sound sleep. I get up
every like three hours or something, and I don't have
my phone on silence. So I got a little uh
text from somebody I just went over to take a
little cool.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
It was.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
It was my son going, hey, Luca just got traded
to uh, the Lakers. That I just was gonna write back.
I'm sure he did your volloe for one of those
focus account to eightiot, But I said you know what,
I'll just get up and take a look. And I
started scrolling and I caught it like five minutes in
Shams had it there, and I'm like, Okay, this is
real account because nobody else really had it. Five minutes

(01:12):
after Sham everybody was kind of holding off on that.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Everyone thought he got hacked.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yes, everybody thought he was hacked. And I wasn't even ture.
I was reading it right, and I was gonna start
googling stories, and then more and more people started to,
you know, confirm it, and then it started getting a
snowball after that.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
You know, yeah, I'm the same way, except I didn't
do the get up every three hours, aren't he? Because
I'm just I feel like this show is about honesty, right,
We're all honest with each other. I had a good
time last night. I might have thrown back a few
cold adult beverages and enjoyed. One of my buddies was
in town, so he's the one friend my wife allows

(01:50):
me to get to get faded with. So we were
feeling good. Got home because I am like almost fifty now,
so me partying had me in bed by ten o'clock
and dude, I was out So I woke up and
the first thing I always pull up is Twitter, and
the first tweet I see as a tweet from Junior Miller.
He of course is the host of one of the

(02:10):
greatest shows in radio history on The Ticket, and he
had a tweet that it threw me off a little
bit where it said waking up to the Luca news.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I always thought his lack of conditioning, poor defense, and
constant arguing with the refs and fans would hold him
back and end up frustrating his team, but trading him
mid season to the Lakers and not getting much in
return is shocking and bizarre. So again, me being someone
that listens a lot to our great affiliate in Dallas
Sports Radio thirteen to ten The Ticket, I thought I

(02:42):
was falling for Craig Miller trolling, you know, because he's
pretty good at that. And so I kind of put
my phone down. And it was weird because I'm like,
if Luca got traded, my phone would have been blowing
up with texts and all that stuff. And then I
realized I had silenced my phone. Unlike you, I silenced it,
so I pay it up. There's like six texts. He's
crazy Lakers got Luca in saying, what Ady, why are

(03:04):
you not answering your phone?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I looked down like verst of a.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I wouldn't have answered any I mean, a rock asteroid
could hit my house and I would have slept through it.
But there's this part of me that's still in shock.
You know, I'm a I don't hold my allegiances. I'm
a huge Oklahoma City fan because I love this iteration,
I love this version of the thunder, and I'm a
massive lifelong Lakers fan. So is Patrick Sweekar, producer. And

(03:27):
so as soon as I was finally able to log
in tonight and get in the studios right away, it's
just wow. We both felt the same way. Never thought
it was real. I sit here tonight with you, Arnie.
What are we almost twenty four hours from the moment
that it broke with Jason Martin and yeah, yeah, you know,
and okay, twenty three hours. Yeah, and there's this part
of me that still can't believe it's true. I can't

(03:49):
believe this really happened. And let's just you know, coming
up in our next segment, our good friend, it's been
a minute.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Eric Pinkins is gonna join us. But since this is.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Roman Numeral number one of the Roman will rundown tonight,
why don't I think you've brought up a boatload of
good questions, so let's just roll through them.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
How's that sound good?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
But just one thing on that that Jeff think that
the NBA would take center stage the week before the
super Bowl. I mean, I don't think that's ever happened
in the how many years have we been doing the show.
I don't think we've ever had the no talk NBA
before the one week before the super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
And yeah, I was trying to think of I was
trying to think of a story that stole the and
I'm sure there is, and someone's going to tweet it
to us tonight.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Aragan back. Oh yeah, forget.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, like arrest or something before super Bowl that.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I mean, I don't think we've had anything like this.
So Roman Numeral one, what do you call it? Subman
numeral part two or whatever or whatever?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Who won the trade?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
That's an easy one. I wanted to go ahead. I
thought about it for a long time over obviously the
twenty four hours, and I wanted to come up because
everybody was like, and oh my goodness, look at the
Lakers got to stealing us. Is there any thing I'm
missing on Dallas's side? Is there anything that I may
be missing that made it maybe more palatable for them
to make this trade? And the answer was no, No,

(05:10):
there wasn't that completely one hundred percent. The Lakers stole this.
I mean even Dallas couldn't even get more number one
picks in this trade. It was like they really got fleeced.
They wanted to get rid of Lucas so bad, but
I didn't think they had to get undercut like that.
So I'm completely shocked, not only at the trade, but
how little they got back in like draft picks and

(05:31):
stuff they too.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
There was so much more that I felt if you
wanted to let the market know that Luca was available,
I think you kind of could have got a much
bigger haul, right, you could have. Probably every every trade
in the NBA has some version of a pick swap.
There's none of that, I mean none whatsoever. I do, though,

(05:55):
have a little bit of a unique take on it.
I do think this is gonna make Dallas really good
the rest of this season if they can stay together.
Anthony Davis is playing great now. I know he was
he was out whenever. They just smoke the Knicks the
other night. Catch that game, Yeah, that game, Yeah, it
was a good game. I was maybe cheering too loud
in a Mexican restaurant, but who's to judge, Arnie. But

(06:18):
like I think that honestly, I know Mavericks fans are bent,
and they should be. But this front court they have,
and in trying to beat the thunder whom they have
their number, they've done it this year without Luca, So
I don't. Maybe it's it's this weird feeling that I don't.
Good things don't happen to my sports teams. But there's

(06:38):
this odd part of me, Arnie that thinks, in the
short term, this is really gonna help Dallas out quite
a bit. You add Ad in a role where it
doesn't sound like he's gonna have to play the five,
though the GM said he was gonna play the five.
I was very perplexed by that. And the Lakers honestly
still need to go get a big right where's their

(06:59):
size right now? So maybe in the short term, but
in the long term, I mean, I don't I don't care.
I don't care how fast kid he's.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
You, I know, that, but Jason Kidd did not look
like a coach that was really happy that was like, yeah,
we're gonna get a championship. He looked like his best
friend had passed away or something to that effect.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
All right, let's ask the next question on your list.
Why not open it up to all bidders? A great question.
I have no idea, and.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
I have one. There's only one thing I can think about, though,
and Chris is that And there was rumors that maybe
Lucas so much out of shape that he was up
there in weigh two hundred and seventy plus pounds, that
maybe they didn't want everybody snooping around and they wanted
to go ahead and make a trade with the Lakers
and didn't want anybody kicking the tires. That's the only
thing I can think about why they didn't open it up.

(07:47):
And maybe they but it didn't make a difference because
Luke had five hundred and seventy pounds I would have taken.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
So yeah, I think the best the best explanation was
Ryan Rossillo, who said he could be smoking a cigarette
while he's walking up the court and I would still.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Want him on my roster.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, because I'm with you because the rumors, there's so
much crap out there, and if I'm the MAVs, I'm
dropping every hit piece. If you've got anything on him
right now, just just unload the notebook or the medical
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Your kids had a history with Anthony Davis, so maybe
that's really whoever most He probably took a look and said,
we really can't get anybody but this, so let's make
the trade with them. We don't really have to, you know,
shop around.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
I have found the most miss led or maybe misinformed
thing right now is here You've got on number five.
You ask if Mark Cuban made this or the new
owners Mark Kingtan's got no power right now?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Right? Well, he had a small minority owner, I know,
the unity owner. Yeah, the majority owners. I forget her name.
I had looked it up earlier today because there was
a conspiracy theory about her.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh well, hold on here, you know me, I'm all
in on that. What was the conspiracy theory?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It was, well, I don't want to take credit for
it was by Klay Trapp.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
It's the and the Dumont families.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Right right, And she is a big right right, She's
a big contributor to Donald Trump. Wow, so Clay made
it sound like Trump said, do me a favor, make
this trade to get everything else on the front page
or something like that.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Get rid of the tariff talk.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Okay, yes, yes, number six, But again from all the reports,
Mark Cuban not involved in the decision making.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Prom He's not the owner anymore.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Right now, Number six did Lebron know?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Now?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Lebron, according to David mcminnimon, the reporter for ESPN, apparently
found out while he was out to dinner.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
You don't believe that.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
No, I don't wait, wait, you know what. I take
that back. Yes, he may have found out at dinner,
but I think but I think he knew that there
was a trade possibly happening.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
And there's a reason why because in number nine and
number seven they said that rich Paul was giving the
heads up about it.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Well, if rich Paul was giving the heads up, then
Lebron knew.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
That's the story. And I sent that to you. Now,
I don't know if it's one hundred percent true or not,
but I agree with you. If Rich Paul was giving
the heads up, there's no doubt he would have told Lebron.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Just in my brain, I'm wondering, does Rich Paul, who
also represents Anthony Davis, who, for some reason, I keep
wanting to call Antonio Daniels today. So I'm just gonna
say that will happen at some point tonight. Make fun
of me when it does. But maybe because there had
been the report that Lebron was upset with ad and
then he ripped off the F bombs that are good buddy,

(10:37):
Bill Ryder, Yes, I saw that, Yeah, questioned him, and
You're like, wait a minute, Bill, Bill looks kind of
right right now. So I'm curious whenever Rich Paul makes
that call to Lebron, is it, Buddy, I got some
great news for you, or is it Lebron You're about
to be p pot.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean, I wonder.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
What what truly is Lebron's feelings about this, because I
know you just can't come out right away and say, hell, yeah,
we're gonna go win a title. This is the greatest
thing ever, cause you can't make it look like you
were pushing for this right No, at the very least
to get rid of Anthony Davis.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Sorry, Junny, I have to think that this is something
more than a phone call, that you have to sit
down with Lebron in person, just the two of you,
and say this is where we are. Lebron, They're gonna
go ahead and make a trade where Luca's gonna come over.
Now you're gonna have to decide do you want to
stay here, play for Luca per ten year old bummed
out that your buddy Anthony Davis left, and try to
win a championship with Luca, or do you maybe want

(11:30):
to get traded go up to Golden State and give
it another try somewhere else. So that's the forty eight
hours you have to be on your mind coming up.
And maybe who knows, maybe he was discussing that did
her with his wife. I have no idea, but I'm
sure those were the two of the options given to
him at that point.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
I just here's my pushback on that. And I heard Ephraim,
and Ephraim's a big Laker fan like I am. Why
in the world when you could pair Lebron and Luca
arguably what would become the biggest show in the NBA
and a team that is I think better when Luca
is healthy and the Lakers look pretty good, the other night.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Why would you want to go to Golden State that's
not as good as the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I think it's more about the romance I'm playing with
Steph Curry, okay, and maybe play with curR and who
knows if they don't get another piece. I can't tell
you at this point if Golden State has something else
going on. You hear the rumors out there. You heard
about the Jimmy Butler rumors, but he didn't want to
do a contract extension. I guess, so they're not going
to go in trade for him. And it could have
been Jimmy Butler, maybe Lebron and Steph Curry. That's the

(12:33):
only thing. I don't think he wants to go anywhere
else other than stay with the Lakers or go to
Golden State and play with Staph.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
I kind of skipped the head there because you had
Lebron trade next in number ten and Ken Lebron and
Luca carry them this year, and I think yes to eleven,
but I just don't. I don't get why this would
have to be followed with the Lebron move. That makes
no sense to me. What so maybe back.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Up one umber nine?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Go ahead?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Where could you imagine a bigger screw up by a
team by letting Brunson leave and Luca get away and
get nothing in return because they got nothing for Brunson,
did they Right?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
But listen, that's the Brunton you're getting now with the Knicks.
Wasn't the brunts and they had with the Mavericks.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I know that, but that nobody really knows that at
this point. And all they see is what he's.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Doing, right, good point.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
So they're not saying, oh, well he was he was
garbage when he wasn't garbage.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well he wasn't, but he wasn't what he is now?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
No, no, right, but that people won't know that. That's
all they see is what they see now.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
So since we're bouncing around, let's go ahead and then
I think finish up the eleven sub numbers under Roman
numeral number one.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Which is who does it help asap?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I think it helps the Mavericks actually, now if Anthony
Davis is healthy, I mean we still don't know where
Luca is in his recovery.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Hey, you're getting fat Luca or skinny Luca?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
And is he gonna show up and be the baller
that he has been? I mean, I've never seen two teams,
two teams that played in the Western Conference Finals blow
their roster up quicker than Minnesota or I guess Minnesota
didn't make the Western Conference Finals right?

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Right then?

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Minnesota and the Mavericks did. I mean the Tea Wolves
seemed like they were set for a while with Karl
Anthony Towns and what do they do? Couldn't wait to
trade them. The Mavericks were in the finals last year, Arnie,
they couldn't wait to trade him.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Man?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah? Yeah, you should have got more in the league.
What they missed out on. There was two number one
draft picks, excuse me, two first round draft picks that
the Lakers had. They get one of them. You know
what did the Knicks have to give up to get Bridges?
Like one hundred and five draft picks? It was disgusting.
I just don't understand how you put something like this together.
Somebody on Twitter was playing one of those NBA video

(14:56):
games right and made that trade, and the and the
game turned it down, said it was too unrealistic. It
was it can't be done, dude, too unrealistic. It's not
going to happen. Forget.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I do think of all the reactions and there's there's
so many of them. If allful announcing wanted to break
records for the most clicks, oh, I could imagine. I've
I've watched a few of them now from like analyst
finding out in game.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I think ESPN they had a Mountain West game.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Maybe it's the game you were talking about earlier, uh Patrick,
where the play by play guy goes, wow, Luca Nanci,
she's just been traded to the Lakers, and the analyst
guy goes, what what like three times?

Speaker 5 (15:36):
It was really funny.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Actually, you know what you know what was really funny
is that, uh well, Patrick Mahomes scared a lot of
people right when he put out he put out a
tweet just saying because you know, he's what a big
Dallas fan, right and Oli Row was I'm sick, And
people thought, oh no, he's sick for the super Bowl?
What's going on here? What is he talking about? How

(15:58):
bad is it? What do you got? The floor? The
bird floor or something like that. Scare a lot of
people like that, you.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Know, Oh my goodness, Well, I gotta tell you something.
We're up against it. We got much much more to come.
And then in the midst of the reaction to the
Luka dancicch trade of the Lakers. De Aaron Fox is
on his way to San Antonio and Zach Lavine is
on his way to Sacramento, So we'll try to make
sense of that when we come back. It's already in Plank.

(16:25):
Eric pink is coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's welcome in. Are all right regovered?

Speaker 1 (16:42):
You live from the tairaq dot com studios with Arnie Spaniel.
I'm Chris Plank, Mary and Patrick are running the show
and we're pumped to be joined by our buddy, Eric Pinkus,
one of the smartest men, if not the smartest man,
when it comes to understanding the luxury tax, the apron
and all the other things. I have no clue unless
I go read Eric's on Twitter account. But I don't

(17:04):
care about that for now, Eric, I just want your
basketball opinion.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
Man.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
In your reaction, you're up last night, you were following this,
I'm sure a little bit of shock. What was what
was your reaction when you saw the Luca trade of
the Lakers.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Well, most small is impressed that it didn't leak. That's
a pretty big deal to not have someone say something.
In this day and age, it feels like most things leak.
And I didn't know anybody who knew anything about this,
so props to them for getting it done. My first
reaction was shams was hacked. Of course reaction, right. I mean,

(17:41):
I was just chilling watching like a show. I was
literally watching a Korean competition cooking show with my middle daughter.
We had like five minutes left. They're about to announce
whoever wants some challenge, and I'm like, I gotta go.
She's like, can't you wait five minutes? I got to
go to work. So I went upstairs and said, I

(18:05):
get it for both sides. I like it more for
the Lakers because Luca is a top three, top five guy,
depends on what you think of women, Yama and whatnot.
And while Anthony Davis is absolutely incredible, he is a
lot older. So I don't hate it, but I like
it more for the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
You know, Eric, we always talk people are mentioning. Now,
how come Dallas didn't get more than just a first
round draft pick. Why didn't they get a couple considering
what we've seen with other trades like Bridges going to
New York and all the draft picks they gave up there,
why didn't they get a lot more for this in
this trade?

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Well, you know, I don't like to outright contradict a
team when they make statements. I don't know if everything
that's been presented has been presented with the whole truth.
Maybe some edges massage to for whatever reason. So my understanding,
and again this is just opinion and it's not fact,

(19:04):
is that what happened with Luka Doncic is what happened
with Daron Fox. Very similar situations, different styles. Daron Fox
has Rich Paul and Clutch Sports as an agent, and
they're more modern. And this is not a judgment of
who's better, but they have different style and it's like
make the player the bad guy. We're seeing Jimmy Butler

(19:24):
do it right now. I think with Luca this is
an older school agent Bill Duffy with W and Me
and an older school been around for twenty something years,
maybe has a more quiet approach and doesn't make the
player the bad guy. Lets the team express the narrative
that they feel is best. But I just think that

(19:47):
it was time for Luca to leave. And this is
that Kawhi window, that window where a guy has one
year left. It's the deadline before that and after. This
is not when they're that rookie scale, like when they're
at the first four years. We're talking about like at
the mark where the Fox and Luca are and where
Kawhi was when he left San Antonio. That's where we

(20:08):
see these kind of players and these kind of positions
exert themselves to get relocated and if they're not going
to stay, like Jokic stayed, plenty of guys stayed, the
Celtics guys stayed, but so not in one stays. And
so I think, at least from what I've heard, this
is what we had. Just a similar thing with Fox,
but a more gentle thing. And I'm not saying that

(20:31):
Dallas is lying about how it went. It probably went
this way in their perspective, but I have a different perspective.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, i think I'm on team Eric on this one.
I agree with you. So with that in mind, is
in your opinion, is there another move for the Lakers,
and based on all the work you've done with the
finances and look at it. Can they make another move? Realistically?

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Well, I guess the best way to put it is,
what does Lebron want to do?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
That's good point?

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Good point, yeah, right, Like Lebron is like Bradley Beal
in that they are the only two players that have
no trade clauses. Lebron also has a player option for
next year. So the Lakers have Lebron for next year
at about fifty something million. They have him this year
for whatever he is now. Or if Lebron wants to
get traded now, or if he wants to get traded

(21:24):
over the summer, he can opt out and just leave.
He can opt in and finish his career as a
Laker and just call it a day. You can certainly
speculate and that, I mean, look, I'm not gonna this
is a joke. Okay, I'm not going to be serious,
so please don't aggregate me. But like, seriously, Lakers should
just trade. Let's say you want they want to trade Lebron.

(21:47):
Let's say they want to just get out and start
building around Luca. Just trade Bronni to the Warriors tomorrow, right,
and then like hey, Lebron, we'll trade you too, you know,
like your son's going, there's something you can do about that.
If you want to go with your son, you know,
go send them and you don't have you take back
a bunch of warriors. See if there's something maybe get
take back Kuminga or something like that. But like big picture,

(22:08):
like it sounds like Lebron is staying. Everyone I've talked
to says that Lebron is staying and this isn't gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
You know.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
The decision on what happens next with Lebron is an
off season question. That's what it sounds like. I think
he kind of likes the idea again just speculation playing
with Luca because Luca the heck of a player, and
it would I think it will certainly be watchable. Whether
it's successful as a whole different story. The team is.
They don't have any size. They didn't have any size
when they had a D So yeah, I think you

(22:37):
got a few days left. They don't really have much
to offer. They'll at a minimum make a small trade
or just cut somebody who's hurt like Christian Wood, and
sign like a Mobamba type, a center who can at
least theoretically, you know, dribble the ball, catch, block, a
shot to bubblegum, all that kind of stuff. We'll see

(22:58):
what happens. They only a few days to make these decisions.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Eric, I'm just so intrigued on all the rumors out there. Well,
bron said he didn't hear about anything until he was
at dinner that night. Rumor is forty eight hours earlier,
though Rich Paul was told about Okay, okay, okay, go ahead,
go ahead.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
All right, Well, in what universe does Rich Paul know
something that he doesn't share with the.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Bronchects exactly exactly right?

Speaker 7 (23:25):
What rule?

Speaker 4 (23:26):
So I work with the NDPA, that's the agency, that
the group that represents all the player all the agents
who represent players, and I don't work for them directly,
but I do some consulting and some teaching and such.
And they have no rules that say you can't talk
to your clients about other clients. There's no way, there's
no enforcement. There's nothing that Rich Paul would ever have

(23:47):
done wrong if he shares information with his clients about
what's going on. It's just not that's just not. First
of all, it's not even a rule within the NBA
it self, you know, people with teams talking to the teams.
So I step leaks like crazy, not because of Rich
Paul Klutch Sports, just that this is the culture of
the NBA. They're not guilty of anything at all. However,
if you are the Lakers and you are the Mavericks,

(24:09):
and credit to the Jazz for doing their part. They
were the small part of the deal. They kept it quiet.
But if Rich Paul found out when he found out,
then Ad found out, when Rich Paul found out, and
Lebron found out, when there's no enforcement of that, that's
crazy to me that anyone can ever pretend that to
be true. Now, I don't know. Maybe Rich Paul calls

(24:29):
me and says I'm wrong and this is why, And
I don't know. Maybe there is something that I don't know.
And I know that Lebron's not his only client and
he has to properly represent players. But I don't see
the advantage of him keeping that from anybody. Why because
he's afraid it's going to leap No, I mean, if
at least it leaks, I don't The Clutch Sports is
known for being modern era and modern era. They talk,

(24:52):
they share information, right or wrong. I don't think they're
like a vault, whereas Bill Duffy, who represents Luco. You
just don't get the same kind of leaks from that organization.
Just stylistically, not good bad, just different ways of operating.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Hey, real quick, I know we got to get but
you're still kind of processing the dearon Fox trade. Are
you surprising ended up at San Antonio? They didn't have
to get off Castle.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yeah, no, it was only them. Oh no, I had
said that there was no way they were going to
do Castle. So again, it's the same leverage. What Fox
can do and what Luca can do, whether they're being
the bad guy or what they're doing in the background
is they can say to the teams, we're not staying
past this year, so you can trade us now anywhere
you want, but we're going to tell that team that

(25:38):
we're not staying and that we're going. In de Aaron
Fox's case, I'm going to San Antonio as a free agent.
They have enough cap room to sign me. It's done.
And Luca could do the same thing because the Lakers
have cap room the year that he would be a
free agent. They can just scare up any team and
unless you're like Toronto, who did what they did to
win one title. Great, but are these teams that might

(26:00):
get him really that close might get Fox, that might
get Luke. Are they really that close to a title
to rent for one year? It was just a moment
in time, and I think why left immediately after? If anything,
scares off other teams from doing the same thing. So
that's what Fox did. The Spurs had all the leverage,
they could have just waited, and the Lakers had the leverage.

(26:21):
And so this is why you have deals that are
very favorable. The Spurs got him for nothing relatively speaking.
I mean, they're good players in the deal, but no
one that they significantly valued. They gave up picks that
they didn't really care about. I haven't looked closely, but
I think they kept the Atlanta picks, which are probably
the best picks that they have. They didn't give away them.
I mean, they got out of players that like Zat Collins,

(26:42):
who's you know, not necessary for them. They just don't
need him. And he's got a lot of money next year,
not a crazy amount. So a good deal for the
Bulls getting out of Zach Lavine. I don't get it
for the Kings. That's me. But you know, you know
how like you like some music and maybe you know
you like something morning you don't like other different tastes, right,

(27:03):
I have a different taste than the Kings in what
they're doing here with the Rosen, you know, the it
like the Bulls last year they had the rosan and
zach lavine and they weren't great. So but hey, it
didn't work for them, but for us, you know, maybe
it's gonna work for us. So we'll see what.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Happend Eric Pinkers, you're the man. Appreciate your time, buddy,
and the grind was You're the man.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
That's Eric Pinkers. Sorry, he come strolling into the studio.
He was the man that broke the story last night
here on Fox Sports Radio of the Luca trade.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Steve Seger with what.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
That's right, because I also thought that his Twitter account
was hacked sham by the way stad Saying says. In
NBA history, there have only been two instances of a
trade mid season trades that involved two players who were
averaging twenty four points a game or more of that
season at the time they were dealt. Both trades happened
this weekend in history, Anthony Davis for Lukadansich, last night,

(28:05):
Zach Lavine, the Aaron Fox tonight.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, Sacramento Delty, Aaron Fox
to the Spurs, Zach Lavine winds up with the Kings
along with potentially three first rounder Chicago.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
There's been other big NBA trades like in season though
that just haven't had like the big Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
But this is I repeat, each guy traded for each
other is averaging at least twenty.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Four traded for Milwaukee mid season.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Or No, No, that was a summer I had to
look up last night because in NBA history, that was
the biggest trade that I could recall, right last night,
asked me immediately, do you remember anything like this?

Speaker 3 (28:44):
It was early in the season, like ten games or something.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
No, it was summer, and then there was a bad
big Jack can't cook press conference with Chick Hern. It
was a whole big off season deal. As far as
any sport, the first deal that I thought of last
night was Wayne Gretzky did eventually, you know, get traded
out of it Edmonton? Who thought that was going to happen?
And hockey was the better for it, quite frankly, for
Gretzky to go to California and how hockey grew after that.

(29:09):
We do have once again more news probably coming since
the trade deadline is Thursday. Chicago gets three players tonight
in this three team deal. There were five NBA games.
Late game to Memphis, even though John Morant was out
again with the sore shoulder, Jaron Jackson thirty seven points
at Milwaukee. They beat the Bucks one thirty two one nineteen.
Boston was down twenty six at Philadelphia late in the

(29:30):
third quarter ninety to sixty four and still beat Philly
one eighteen to one. Ten home victories for Toronto, Detroit,
and Cleveland. Cleveland led at halftime ninety one forty six, unbelievable,
beat Dallas one forty four to one oh one. I
don't believe Luka Donsitch was playing. I don't had anything
to do with it. Kyrie Irving wasn't playing either sore shoulder.

(29:51):
But Cleveland is forty and nine this season. Men's college hoops,
Nebraska won at number sixteen Oregon women's hoops Iowa upset
number four ranked USC NHL wins for the Rangers in
Florida Rory McElroy won by two strokes at Pebble Beach
after a final round sixty six. Today, the raiders new
offensive coordinator will reportedly be Chip Kelly, who was the

(30:11):
OC for Ohio State. This past season, the NFC won
the Pro Bowl. Pitcher Jack Flaherty is signing with the
Detroit Tigers. Former MLB commissioner Fave Vincent died at the
age of eighty six. And tonight was NASCAR's Clash the
annual Exhibition. It was in North Carolina. Chase Elliott the
winner on Fox TV. Ryan Blaney was second. Of course,
Daytona five hundred in a couple weeks on Fox TV.

(30:34):
In fact, the NBA All Star Game is in two
weeks in San Francisco. But next Sunday on Fox TV
the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Philadelphia against Kansas City.
And each team flew to and arrived in New Orleans today.
And by the way, as Philly had yet another home game,
we mentioned it last Sunday Night Show. The NFC championship

(30:56):
win was their fifth straight Sunday with a home game.
They're finally going on the road here, but that was
an NFL title. Yeah, yeah, quite literally all calendar year,
the NFC title game featured two teams from the same division,
and since two thousand, this is five times that happened.
Every time the winner of the NFC title against a
division opponent went on to win the Super Bowl a

(31:19):
couple of weeks later. So say what you will for
the Eagles chances. Most recently, the Rams beat division rival
forty nine Ers in recent years for the NFC crown,
and then in their own stadium won the Super Bowl.
Seahawks about a decade ago beat the forty nine ers
division rival, went on and so forth back.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
I got the script for the game, by the way,
from one of the refs.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
And you found it online, right.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yeah, So I'm gonna give it out later on. I'll
just go to pass a long later, Arnie.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
In the Roman numeral Rundown Tonight, Steve has the not
the box score, but has drawn a box for each
quarter and what the points and scores will be after
each quarter. So it's like you have a little drawn
scoreboard instead of normal.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Note is he.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
Gonna be in those things where they draw the numbers
and the squares that office problems are absolutely If you
could rig that, then you're doing Since you apparently know
what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
I mean, and you know it's just it's it's poor penmanship,
aren't he? It really truly is really. Yeah, I'm a
little bit diss. I'll send it to the crew and
they can judge that. Yeah. I was a little bit
taken back when in the middle of a Roman numeral
rundown for the show tonight, Arnie has like an old
school scoreboard that he's drawing.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
To do a little math. Big deal.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
It's not about the math, it's about the scribbles. I
can't figure anything out here, man. You got to help
me out every now, Are you with.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
Me that maybe we should just avoid the whole Roman numerals?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
No?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Yeah, please, I love.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Allow me to finish with regards to the Super Bowl. Yes,
I mean next year super Bowl sixty. How about a
six and a zero. We're in the United States.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Didn't they do that for fifty? Then they just said,
well it isn't fifty like l or something like that. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
I thought that would be when they stopped, but no,
they've just continued on. It's going to be at the
forty nine Ers Stadium in a year.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
By the way, WrestleMania finally had to stop doing that
as well too, because that's where wrestling fans could figure
out what number.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
The Romano UFC used regular numbers, right, they get up
to one hundred and two hundred.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Use regular numbers. Roger, what's wrong with you? Okay, hey, guys?
Press conference tomorrow. It's the Monday's Super Bowl Week starting eight,
my favorite part of the week. So we've got all
your tweets. I want to get to on the show. Yeah,
but when we come back, I want you to think
about it during the break card because if Steve pointed out,
the Roger Goodell presser is one of the more interesting
moments of Super Bowl Week.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
Got to be credentialed separately for that.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Now, what's going to be one of the biggest topics
of the of the presser? What's going to be the
biggest conversation piece? We'll prochect talk about it next on
Fox Sports Radio. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports
talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows
at Foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app
search FSR to listen live.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
All right, it's already in Plank on a Fox Sports Sonny.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
No Jimmy G just overthrew the guy in the Super
Bowl and watching the highlights.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Oh the replay, Yeah, top moments had them too. Do
you remember the receiver's name?

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Uh no, I don't actually hold on.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
I can't remember it either. I was just hoping you'd
actually know one of them, Emmanuel Sanders.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Oh, there you go, there you go.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
It took me second. Ye See.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
The NFL is weird because I'm old enough to remember
when Emmanuel Sanders was one of the bigger gets in
the off seasons. Oh my gosh, you got Emmanuel Sanders
and then he just disappears, right, I mean wide receivers.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
That happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
It's like, dude, they got they got Emmanuel Sanders, they
got Jimmy Sowens, and the next thing you know, they're like gone.
You never hear from them again. But I'm curious. Tomorrow
is the State of the League address from Rodger Good?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Tell yeah, what do you think will be the biggest topic.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
I think there'll be three. One will be the electronic
marking of the football electronically. There is talk about that
coming out. I don't know why it's been so long
on that.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
By the way, today too.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
I don't think he's going to address this, but we're
going to have to address it, or somebody's going to
have to. I sent you a story about how the
biggest companies like bud Wiser and McDonald's and stuff like
that are pulling their ads out of the Super Bowl
because they think it's going to be a terribly low
Super Bowl and ratings or rankings or whatever you want

(35:35):
to say about it. So they're they're pulling their ads. Well,
we'll see if that turns out to be true. And
three another thing they won't bring up are the referees.
And you know, my wife is still bad. You don't
want to watch the Super Bowl because if she thinks
the referee stole the game from her. So those would
be three things I would bring up in a probably

(35:55):
and bring up.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
One of them. They I don't. I don't think that
Budwise are pulled out of the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
I had the wonder which one. Well, I had the
story that I sent you, so yeah, but I'm just.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Saying, I don't know. I don't know if we've fallen
for another one. But I'm looking here and it says
Budweiser Clydesdale's return in the Super Bowl twenty twenty five
ad with a new star.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
All Right, I'll find that which one, because I just
I sent you the story earlier today, and I'll find
out here. It is, uh, Burger King, Coca Cola, and Nike.
So okay, my bad, my bad.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, that was like, hold I hold on a second here,
Burger go ahead, listen, Burger King, You're great. I'm a fan.
I could eat a whopper any day of the week.
It's outstanding. But the whopper Whopper, Whopper Whopper. There's too
many sad moments. But they claimed Budweiser didn't. I'm sorry.
Burger King said that it was the high cost of

(36:51):
the ads that chased them out.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
And well, the story I have here says that they're
gonna withdraw their ads from the Super Bowl multiple sources
is confirmed. The news comes after several injured industry reports
projected record low viewership and extremely low audience interest.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
But who's projecting that? Did you not see the AFC
Championship numbers? Yeah, but I brought that up to you before, Chris.
I said that is and I think.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
That fire your marketing firms. Okay, that's what you need
to do.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
There was talk that people were gonna boycott watching this super.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Bowl, but you buy because of the refereeing, right right?
These are the same people that aren't watching the super
Bowl anymore? Are football anymore because Colin Kaepernick nelt We
never watched or cared in the first place.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Dude, come on, right, So there would these companies, these
big multi billion dollar companies, are making decisions based on
stuff like this though, Chris.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Well, they're not smart ones. You get me, you get
me in a super Bowl ad, and it's within my budget,
I'm in. I think that's what this is about more
than anything else.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
I don't think more about money, right, Yeah, these are
billion dollar corporations. If it's about money for them, where
what does that leave the rest of the people.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Well, I mean, when was the last time you ate
a Burger King?

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Not too long ago? Actually really like a month ago?

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well okay, once a month.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I mean you and I were probably more regular fast
food eaters than ever before. So I think they're hurt.
Who is the other one that pulled their their ad
as well? Coca Cola? How often is people drinking coke anymore?
I mean it's they're treating it like the devil. You're
the devil if you drank soda. I think a big story,
or at least an attempt at a story, is going

(38:36):
to be the Rooney rule, because I think you've had
some coaches now that are mad because they feel like
they're just used for Rooney Rule interviews. And I agree
with them one hundred percent. And I don't know if
the NFL has to find tune that. I feel like
it still works. You know, it gives people an opportunity
to interview for positions and maybe catch an eye. It's

(38:58):
it's definitely reshaped front offices. I think you see more
diversity on that front, but already there it is basically
being made a joke on the coaching side of things
with interviews and that so I he's got Roger Godell's
gonna be asked about it. I don't know if he'll
answer anything on it, or if he'll have a good answer.

(39:19):
And then I wonder just about the future of the
super Bowl, because you're still a big believer in pay
per view and overseas potentially, right.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
It's picking up a lot more stephen than when I
first brought it up a couple of years back.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
I don't know about that, but I do think that
he's going to be asked more about the influx of
Netflix and maybe less, you know, are more more for
Netflix and Amazon and less for the linear TVs. I
think that's gonna be a fascinating conversation when Roger Goodell
meets with the media tomorrow State of the League address.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
And of course maybe adding a team overseas too permanently too.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I don't know if do you believe that's ever gonna
be a thing?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
There was a new one about I forget the rumor
that they were gonna have one like within two years
in a division or something else.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
I think that was a rumor for twelve years ago,
and they just they just reup it every two years.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Hey, in two years, Hey, don't look out in two years.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
All right, Luka Dancic is a Laker, The Aaron Fox
is a spur. Let's talk about the big moves and
what they mean to the betting lines. Todd Ferman coming
up next hour on Fox Sports Radio. All right, here
we go into hour two. Already in Plank Company Alive
from the ti rack dot Com studios ti rack dot Com.
We'll help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast free shipping,

(40:30):
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tirack dot com theway tirebind should be. Now we have
an announcement. Oh, yes we're back. We're about the Bull Show.
We think year nine.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Well, you sent me that thing that we did with
Brady Papinga what eight years ago, nine years ago, ten
years ago?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Well, I mean I sent it to you, so, I
mean I was hoping that.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
I don't even remember doing that. I don't even know
where that came from. I'm like, well I do, I
have no no recollection of doing any show with you
and Brady Pepinga.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
We uh, ten ten years ago on this day. Yeah,
you and I did the super Bowl show post game. Yes,
we came on after because we used to. We've always
been in this time slot. We didn't do the Super
Bowl show with Brady. He came on with the three
of us and we played Pepper afterwards and recapped the game.

(41:22):
That following year sixteen was the Cam Newton year where
he didn't fall in the football right and everyone kind
of lost their mind and Von Miller won the MVP.
And in fact, that's one of your great calls that
you don't give yourself credit for was talking about Von
Miller as a sneaky super Bowl MVP pick. Right, So

(41:42):
if I'm correct, this would be from sixteen on we've
done the super Bowl show because Big Ben used to
do it back in the day.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
But he's Hollywood now and he's got a TV show.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
He is Hollywood, very Hollywood, and so for us, the
twenty sixteen super Bowl, the Broncos twenty four to ten
win was the start. And by the way, that was
that was super Bowl fifty. We were just talking about
that earlier in the program. Now, yeah, so we're at
fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Wow, that's a long time to be doing the Super
Bowl Show.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
That's a lot of so technically I guess it would
be our tenth right if you include fifty in there.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Wow, it's a lot of good parties we've missed.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Right, tons of great parties, dip food events, commercials, all
that right stuff.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
I will say I saw the setup. Our boss man,
Scott Shapiro, just posted it on the book of Faces
at the super Bowl at New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Looks awesome. I think all of our shows are lived
from there.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
I'll be the judge of that.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Well, good look at It's on Facebook right now. You
have a Facebook account, right, yes, I do.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
It's other Scott Shapiro, Yes, sir, he denies my friendship,
so I can't take a look.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Well I'll shoot you a picture of it.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
See you turn me down seven times.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Now, don't blame it. Don't blame it. You don't use
Facebook very much, so that would be I look on it.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
I always see stuff from him from like two thousand
and eight, so the wrong one.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Yeah, you're a little bit behind. So my point in
bringing it up. We do the Super Bowl Show. It's
an alternative. We are very much in tune with what's
going on in the game. Arnie always gets worried that
we're calling too much play by play because you do
scare me on that. Early in his career, someone yelled
at him for it.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
So Peter Brown than the whole network shutdown.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Right, it was gonna be all Arnie's fault, which has
never been a thing. But I mean, I'll be in
I think I'm gonna be in studio, so we'll be
making fun of you the.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Whole Wow, what are you gonna What are you doing
in LA?

Speaker 2 (43:40):
What starts this week?

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Oh? Softball? That's you're gonna be late to the super Bowl.
You're almost late one year, weren't you.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
I had to take you know what, that's a that's
a crazy story. The only reason I was almost late
is because there was the person who let me use
their rental car. I had to drop them off for
the airport track. It's not real fun around La No.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
There there's traffic in that way. I don't know if
you know that this is an Oklahoma Dorothy.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Well, I have. I have a lot of traffic now
here in Oklahoma because every road is being constructed. So yeah, no,
we're planning. I was talking about with Mary and Patrick.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I made them be smooth.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Yeah. I scheduled them on now to Saga. Are you
with us for super Bowl? Se scheduled him, Yes, I did.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Well can he answer he's mad at me.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Because I scheduled him.

Speaker 5 (44:25):
It's also not true. Yeah, I'm on the schedule.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
And I hear this will be my first foray into
the new Ish studios.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
Right, that's correct. All right, we're on the other side
of the building.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
I haven't even been to the old studios.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yes you have, you have, yes, you have. So we'll
be on during the super Bowl next week.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
What I remember about Arnie on the air leading into
the Super Bowl from uh just over a decade ago,
is that was the year Peyton Manning and the Broncos
offense were phenomenal, and Arnie went on and on all
week about how they can't be stopped and then they
lost forty three to eight.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Didn't they like the first the game or something?

Speaker 5 (45:01):
I think they did, yes, and it kind of that
was the day.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Arnie tell me what team was that again?

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Ouch? My Seahawks, Let's go.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Car Hawks and my coach Pete Carroll. I will say
my personal favorite Super Bowl show, if we just can
reminisce on Super Bowl memories, was the party Arnie was
throwing at halftime of the Falcons Patriots game. Because before Tom,
before Tom Brady went to the Buccaneers and before I
guess Bill Belichick went back to college, Arnie.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Hated them both with a passion, right, and so now.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Every year was the year that it was finally going
to end this whole run.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
This is the end.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Brady's done.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
Single year, Patriots are done.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
It was it done, though it was over at that point,
I was loving it.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
It was a great year's plural After that Belichick completely
out coach Sean McVay in that low scoring super Bowl
that was what two to nothing going to the fourth
It felt.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Like, I will say my favorite, my favorite part of
us doing the Super Bowl show before we move on
is trying trying Arnie to give a good review of
the halftime show knowing that we a can't listen to
it and b are counting on people telling us if

(46:14):
it's good or bad on Twitter. Actually, you know what,
I got an idea. I think Mary, is there another
room where she could go actually watch it and listen everything?
Or will you guys be able to in the studio.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
Depends on the timing, of course when it breaks. But
Kendrick Lamar is due to be the halftime show in
a week.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Mary, I say you.

Speaker 8 (46:34):
Wait, wait, wait, you said what I was not listening.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
That was a whole, like five minute dissertation about you.

Speaker 9 (46:40):
Right now, I just I just heard Mary Kendrick Lamar,
and that's.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
It, Okay.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
My idea was you We always struggled in a good
feel for the halftime show because we're on the air,
So maybe there's a chance that you could just watch it.
You could go crank up the volume in a studio somewhere.

Speaker 8 (47:01):
I can just watch it in here.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
That's why I'm asking.

Speaker 8 (47:03):
I don't know that. I'm literally watching Billy.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
I gave a great review and it was.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
I think you know that Dan is a halftime show.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
No.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
You know what, though, I.

Speaker 10 (47:14):
Actually got invited to the super Bowl, so I should
go and and just.

Speaker 9 (47:19):
Do a library. Yeah, I'm sah and I can just
do Who invited you to the Superman? Don't worry about
that business right now.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
I don't know someone's like, hey, Mary, you want to
come down to the super Bowl because you're not tapped
in like Mesh.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
I've learned a lot from Mary Arnie.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't out her sources.

Speaker 8 (47:41):
Yeah, I'm not like you.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Well she's not. She's not like us.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Literally, I remember what the super bowls in New Orleans,
and I went to a super Bowl in New Orleans
and I had a couple of hurricanes. You know what
those are? Chris, You're supposed to be covering the game.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Well, it was you went out after the show.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Are you the reason why the lights went out in
that in that New at all?

Speaker 3 (48:05):
But I had a couple of hurricanes and I went
back to my hotel with my producer and we got
in the elevator and there was another guy in there,
and he was by himself, and I look and I
look at him, and I'm just plowed and I go, dude,
what's up with your teeth? Dude? And he just starts laughing,
and I'm like, I'm just I am just browbeating this

(48:28):
guy and and and I'm just just harassing the crap
out of him. It was flavor flave. You ever heard
of that guy? And I look at your teeth, dude,
And he had that big clock on his chest and go,
what time is it, dude? What time? I kept saying,
what time is it?

Speaker 4 (48:47):
Man?

Speaker 3 (48:48):
That wasn't very funny to him.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Clo Hey, well, since we're on this, we we'll just
stick with the Super Bowl for this segment.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Though.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
We do have video of one Luka Doncic arriving in
Los Angeles, Private playing, Private Playing. Of course, he was
now three hundred pounds to me. He don't look big
to me.

Speaker 5 (49:12):
That, you know, the calf, He wasn't lipping. That's all
a good sign. They were saying he might be back
by All Star break. Maybe he's playing this month. I
haven't seen him play, you know, since the Christmas injury.
It's been a whish. He missed half the season.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
That's he and let's fake. He was cooking. He was
playing well before he got hurt. But again, if you've
been living under a rock, Luka Dancis is now Laker,
Anthony Davis is a Maverick. What am I leaving on?
Darren Fox is a spur? Yeah, Zach Lavine?

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Anything else, and by the way, any predictions of any
more other big things or that's that's.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Clearly nobody wants. Jimmy Butler agreed, well.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
I don't want to have to pay him an extension
on a fifty million dollars a year contract.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Though it's risky enough as it is, Why would I
want to give you more money and more years exactly,
go through more headaches? Tyree Kale of the NBA, No,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
I just I know that it's a hot topic now,
and I know that there has been very different reporting
and reporter ing on it. I just can't see the
Lakers moving on from Lebron.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I don't think so either. I agree with you on
that one.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Say, I can't see it. But before we go all
in on the NBA Arnie and before we go all
in on what this does numbers wise for the rest
of the season with Todd Furman, are you in that
group that finds yourself not as excited about the Super Bowl?
I mean, because you've talked about this a lot over
the last you know, a couple of weeks leading up
to it. Right if taking the Chiefs, we're going to

(50:40):
be there again.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
It's a billapionship.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Yeah, well yeah, I mean, what was your point on
the College Championship.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
That it was gonna have low ratings because I think
people dragged down too long.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
And I'll push back on low ratings. It drew over
twenty million viewers. You know, it was still incredibly number
for that at least event when you're not putting it
on an Tanna TV and they'd put it on ABC
for some reason. But you're right, it was down compared
to last year.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
No, I'm still excited about the Super Bowl. I do
get the feeling though, that the ratings are not going
And after I said to you and we argued about
this last week, that's like every year they get better
and better and more and more people tune in. Is
there going to be a reversal, like really, especially with
two teams like Kansas City and Philadelphia in a rematch

(51:31):
and from a couple of years back. And you're gonna
tell me that people are not going to tune in
because they think the refs are fixing the game. I
don't buy that. I don't.

Speaker 8 (51:39):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
I don't think that there's a lack of interest. But
I keep seeing you know, stories like that, you know,
the the commercials, how people pull out because of it.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
And there are other stories about commercials where they got
eight million dollars for some of the thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
But that's true.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
We have gone up in the TV ratings for the
Super Bowl, as we mentioned last week, a four years
in a row. There is a ceiling at some point
with that. Terrestrial television can only give you so much.
There is going to be a note that even though
it's a Fox game, Telemundo in Spanish is going to
add last year they tacked on Nickelodeon to a CBS
broadcast find other avenues. Just because it doesn't get one

(52:18):
hundred and twenty million, that doesn't mean quote nobody's watching
the Super Bowl. It's going to be a huge audience.
The biggest audience for any TV show this year.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
But you know, maybe I'm reading too much into a
couple of tweets on this mister Nobody, who is a
great contributor every Sunday night to this program. Rights, I'm
as serious as anything. I won't watch one second of
the super Bowl. The Bills got screwed. Why would I
care about watching the Cheats or Chiefs win again?

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Where are we written by my wife?

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (52:51):
She's still hot, she's still match she's like the revs.
And that Dean Blandino article didn't make things any better?
Chris did that that that? Really? I was like, oh
my goodness, man, I'm surprised that didn't even get more legs.
Okay at the beginning, can.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
We talk about that because you're freaking out because somebody
in his family thinks that is fixed?

Speaker 2 (53:18):
And what does his brother do?

Speaker 1 (53:19):
I have no idea exactly why is this even a
freaking story, dude.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Because it comes from Dean Blandino, who was like head
of officials of the NFL that his brother.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Thinks the league is fixed.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Chris, if you and I were brothers and I said, hey,
I got an inside scoop on something that Chris Blank did, but.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
That's not what he's saying.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Clinton had plenty of things to say about world affairs,
but it really didn't matter.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Did you read the article, Arnie be honest.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
About the uh.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (53:52):
I just read with that that about the beginning that
he thought that that that he thought that there was
there was a fixed in or something.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
Why would the fix be in?

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Right?

Speaker 1 (54:01):
But do you realize that Dean Blandino told the story.
He told the story to either Dan Patrick or Rich
eisen or whoever he was on with. Dean Blandino said,
I'm my brother, and I think brother, brother in law. Whatever, thanks,
the league is fixed. I mean, he'll go to his
grave with it. But and then he laid out all
the reasons why it's not so. I saw the headline

(54:23):
of that you sent it to me, and immediately I
went into it. I was like, that sounds like an
odd thing to be a headline, and it is. Can
I tell you something. I have family members that don't
think COVID was real, Okay, I mean they're just like.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
We didn't land on the moon, right, and I got people.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Land on the moon. And I'm gonna tell you something.
I don't think they're gonna get a headline story out
there right now. But because I don't know, because Blandino
was honest about some family member that has an opinion
about it, that was the dumbest I mean, listen, Florial,
I love it. That's the word the dumbest thing I've
ever seen written on Oh.

Speaker 8 (54:55):
I thought that was good.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
I wow. I just thought it was one of those
articles is that, you know, it creates controversy and people
like look at that, even relatives.

Speaker 5 (55:05):
Who cares about It's like right, and but you know
this is what about all actually? Uh Jason Martin on
a Saturday night brought this up a previous weekend. It's
about you know, he's had enough of conspiracy theories in general.
I would just add there's too too many times with
conspiracy theories, there's just no thinking going alone. In the

(55:28):
case of this one, why if the fix is in,
why didn't the Cowboys make the playoffs? They are they
get the best TV ratings of any NFL team. Why
weren't we Cowboys in the playoffs because there's no fix.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
That's two days ago where Rosier was being accused of something.
Where we've seen stuff in the NBA where we've seen
the wee.

Speaker 5 (55:53):
So we got it's like arguing about Billy Carter or
Roger Clinton or Blandino's brother.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
It's got nothing to do with this league.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
But you know again, wait, wait, wait a minute, there's
been stuff in the NFL where people were accused and
got suspended on like individual statistics, speaking bet and stuff
like that.

Speaker 5 (56:11):
That has nothing to do with a fourth and one
quarterback sneak.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
No, but you know, we're laughing like it's completely impossible.
You know, I don't know if it's completely Isn't it.

Speaker 5 (56:19):
More logical that the officials just aren't good at that?

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Absolutely, the dots to how you got to it.

Speaker 5 (56:28):
And didn't we go over on last Sunday Night Show
Chris that it didn't cost Buffalo the game. There might
have been an overtime, but it didn't cost them the game.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Did not cost them the game. I'll add this to it.
I knew as soon as I saw that story, I'm
like Artie, he's gonna lose his mind over this. And
then as I read through it, I realized everyone has
someone in their family that's unhinged, and I thought it
was cool that Blandino was honest about it, but I
laughed whenever I saw it because immediately I was like, Oh,

(56:59):
Arnie's gonna.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Be if there's an article that said Scott Shapiro's brother
is saying that the Sunday nights are gonna be redone
and there'll be some new host. Would bother you or no,
you wouldn't think any different of that.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Huh, No, it's his brother. His brother is allowed to
listen too. Is not saying that his brother feels this
way because of anything that he's told him. He's like, dude,
I got a brother that believes the NBA's fixed. Scott
might have a brother that thinks we suck. Arnie, I
don't know. That seems a great possibility.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Man, Let's get a break.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
We'll ask Todd Freman what he thinks about it next
with Arnie and Plank live from the tyrack dot Com
Studios on Fox Sports Radio at It's Arnian Plank coming
to you live from the Tyraq dot Com Studios. That
last segment did lead to a couple of funny texts.
I will say, uh, nature boy is on one tonight,
and I'm not arguing with him too much.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
It's fixed.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Confirmed that from the daughter of Dean Blandino, who also
knows her roommate's cousin's neighbor. There you go, There you
go because Dean Blandino's brother. Thanks the NFL has fixed
Arnie's in right now.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
I wanted to.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
Ask Mary questions later on about some of the prop
bets that she could help us out with, too.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Ahi game on. Todd Furman joins us.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Of course, the Bet the Board podcast anything jumped out
at you early and some of these exotics that we
have heading into the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Todd, that's really caught your eye.

Speaker 7 (58:26):
Well, I think the big question is how Kansas City
will look to try and go about defending the Philadelphia Eagles.
Will they allow Jalen Hurts to prove that he can
beat him with his arm or at least put together
to the same kind of stat line that we saw
a couple of years ago when these teams met, or
will Kansas City be more than okay with Taekwon Barkley
picking up four to five yards of pop Because you
dig into some of the rushing defense numbers the Chiefs

(58:48):
have put forth during their last two Super Bowl runs,
and with Steve Spagnolo as a defensive coordinator, one hundred
yard rushers are extremely rare, so something we'll have to
give this weekend, knowing that the Eagles are going to
want to establish that level of physicality, hopefully behind a
healthy offensive line that has both Cam Jurgens and Land
and Dickerson available for the game.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Todd, has betting been healthy? Have you been getting a
good amount of bets in? Or has it slowed down?
As you know we were talking about, are the ratings
is going to be down because people going to boycott this?
Are BET's going to be down.

Speaker 7 (59:17):
I don't think people are going to boycott anything. I mean,
they can talk a lot of one side of their mouth,
but it is the Super Bowl. It's the final football
game we get for seven months. So I'm not sure
what people are going to do to spend their Sunday
afternoon in a farmer's market or something along those lines
that have committed themselves to watching the NFL all season
now in terms of betting handle, Look, I'm not going
to sit here and say that I'm anticipating that it

(59:37):
sets records, but we do have more and more jurisdictions
coming on board. We've seen the gangbuster numbers, but if
we use Nevada as the litmus test. The one thing
that works against them is having a number this short
really truncate some of the money that you'll have bet
on the money line and the side with such a
short price, So it hurts odds makers a little bit
in that regard, but it's always tough learning to get

(59:57):
a true assessment since the majority of bets that'll come
in on the game out here in the desert typically
come in about seventy two hours before kickoff leading up
to the big game on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Is it still the biggest weekend for Vegas?

Speaker 7 (01:00:10):
Hey, it is the biggest single game, and so I
think it's important to kind of preface that Chris with
it's not the biggest weekend because the volume of games
that you have that opening four days of the NCAA tournament,
you have more handle typically on those games, but you
also have forty eight of them compared to just one
standalone game. So it is still the single largest event

(01:00:30):
on the sporting calendar out here in the desert and
definitely gets a bowload of folks that make their annual
pilgrimage out here to take full advantage. Even with the
proliferation of legalized sports betting, typically in jurisdictions much closer
to home than what they've grown accustomed to in the past.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
All right, Todd, the prop bets came out, did you
jump on anything right away? I guess some of the
guys there were a few prop bets that people wanted
to get right away, or nothing really that you had
to rush into, and you'll wait till later on.

Speaker 7 (01:00:57):
You know, some of the math numbers that may be off,
you know, fifteen to twenty cents. It doesn't sound like
a lot to you know, recreational betters who are trying
to find five or six winners for a game of
this magnitude, but every penny matters for those of us
to do it professionally. And you know, oftentimes, once the
market's adjust you kind of move on to some of
the next prop bets that are out there. But for me,
what I found in recent years is that you get

(01:01:19):
more and more public money flooding into the market, so
it actually creates opportunity much closer to kickoff of these games.
And while normally we'd love to bet into these virgin
numbers when they become widely available on Thursday and Friday,
the week leading up to it. You know, we've found
more and more opportunity in the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday before
kickoff of the big Game. So I won't claim to
have a fully robust portfolio by any stretch of the imagination.

(01:01:40):
Right now kicking off some numbers, and I'll figure out
between now and kickoff if those are positions and bets
that I want to keep out or that I may
look to try and find a middle that could present
itself as well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
All Right, So we've asked a lot about the super Bowl.
Much more to come on that. Throughout the show tonight,
tod I got to get your reaction. I know that
you were probably up and at them and Luca gets traded.
What was your shock factor? And who does this help
in the immediate in your opinion?

Speaker 7 (01:02:05):
I mean, I think I had the same response as
a lot of folks. The immediate response is, wait a second,
was Sham's hack? And is this something that's real going
down on a Saturday night? And you continue to come
through social media and you begin to realize, wait a second,
this blockbuster deal is actually taking place. So it creates
a bevy of questions in terms of this being all
that the Mavericks were able to get for a player

(01:02:26):
of that caliber. What I think is interesting but not
unsurprising in any capacity, is that the Lakers go from
around forty to one done in nineteen to one to
win the NBA title this year. But you look at
that roster and quite frankly, I'm not sure the Lakers
could defend the three of us given the way that
the roster is currently constructed, unless they're able to go
out and make another move. So folks that are running
to the window to try and get the Lakers at

(01:02:46):
nineteen to one, in my opinion right now, I think
we're throwing away money. Whereas you look at the Mavericks
and then once they get that roster fully healthy. I
know it didn't show tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but
you know, the Mavericks may be a team that's a
little bit undervalued and provide, you know, some of that
dark horse potential if they're able to defend better than
every team in the West not named the Oklahoma City Thunder.

(01:03:07):
But fascinating to say the least, knowing that the Lakers
will probably have Lebron James hand the baton to Luka
Doncik and it begs the question I think all of
us are asking, do the Dallas Mavericks know something more
about Luca that none of the other teams involved did,
and are they going to wait for the other shoot
to drop after the Lakers give them give him the
supermax of north and three hundred million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
You know, I heard you say when Lebron passed to
toward Tom Lluca. If you feel like Lebron's going to
get traded to Golden State, do you hop on that
Golden State future right now? Or you think that's not
going to happen? I guess.

Speaker 7 (01:03:37):
I mean, look, I'm still not sure. I believe that
Lebron was actually a dinner and this deal came as
a total surprise like what was reported in real time.
I mean, maybe one percent of the population does since
Lebron has been the acting GM of the Lakers organization
since he committed to playing for the Golden Purple. But
you look at Golden State's number, Arnie, and at one
hundred to one, I'm not sure even Lebron can get

(01:03:58):
them across the finish line in the Western Conference. Not
to sell Lebron short, but I do think it's something
that'll be very interesting between now and the trade deadline.
What other moves do the Lakers make and would they
consider trading Lebron to a contender. I'm not sure that'll
be the case, but I'm sure there are plenty of
fans in Cleveland who wonder if Lebron going back home
to try and get them another championship would be an

(01:04:20):
interesting plot twist that none of the NBA fans or
the scriptwriters in your case, Arnie, I haven't written stars
just yet.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
When do we get in the full on Super Bowl
preview edition of the bet to Board podcast this week, Todd.

Speaker 7 (01:04:32):
We are schedule record on Wednesday morning. We'll deep dive
both sides of the ball and try and unpack all
of the x's and o some of the matchups from
the coaching standpoint, the metrics, the markets, and everything else.
They'll go into handicapping the big game, and I'll offer
up the PSA because I know we won't chat until
next Sunday when the game is already in the books.
It's just another game on the sporting calendar, so I
can't preach it enough to some of the folks that

(01:04:55):
are out there to bet responsibly and the money that
they'll be able to make that in college basketball this week.
The NHL, the NBA, or whatever other sporting pursuits are
out there to keep that in mind and not overextend
themselves that they're not able to enjoy the true celebration
of the National Football League schedule culminating moment gotta go.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Over on the national anthem, by the way, gotta go over.

Speaker 7 (01:05:14):
You know, here's the interesting part about the anthem, AARNI,
and it's something to keep in mind knowing that you're
going to have a unique rendition that typically most sportsbooks
only great at the ones offshore from when the anthem
actually starts with the first word to the last word,
so it won't be any of the musical accompaniment. And
I think that could change the dynamic here that if
you were talking about first note to last note, you
would be going over, but the actual singing rendition of

(01:05:36):
it may actually be shorter than the time that's being offered.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Look at that. What a breakdown on that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
I want to curveball into it. All right, to have
a great week, buddy, We appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (01:05:45):
Always a pleasure, guys. Enjoy all the storylines and build
everybody got to kick off next Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Yeah, that's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
That Tod Furman.

Back to you, all right, thanks a lot, Steve. You
want to do your Super Bowl quarter by quarter breakdown?

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
That's the next hour.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Or for your okay, last segment last, well you have
it like on Roman Numeral four.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Yeah, and Mary. I was gonna ask Mary, but she's
the musical expert. Now you can ask me what Kendrick Lamar, Yeah,
does he have long songs or short songs because they
have the number of songs that he plays over under
ten and a half for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 10 (01:08:55):
Ooh well, depending on how many times he plays Not
Like Us?

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
Yeah, is that cow his one or two songs?

Speaker 10 (01:09:01):
I don't know, but during his concert he replayed it
like five times and he just won like five different
Grammys today.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Or like say, one of the first song, is it
gonna be humble? Oh like us? King Kunta Squabble Up
or something else?

Speaker 10 (01:09:17):
Ah, I think I think it's gonna I think it's
gonna be humble.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
I think it's gonna be humble.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
And what's the last song? Gonna be?

Speaker 8 (01:09:26):
Not like Us? For sure? Not like Us? Are TV off?

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
And will Drake release a song on Super Bowl Sunday? Yes?
Plus three seventy no minus six hundred.

Speaker 10 (01:09:36):
Oh no, I don't think he's gonna release a song.
I think he's gonna post something on his Instagram story though.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
Yeah. And and the guy singing the anthem what's his name?
John Batiste?

Speaker 8 (01:09:46):
John Baptiste?

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Yeah, they will, he played the piano, yes minus fo
Yeah he will no plus I think he will. He will. Okay, Well,
there's some of the inside musical stuff there, Chris so
can't beat that time.

Speaker 8 (01:09:58):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 10 (01:09:59):
King Kunta would be a really good opening too. Dang,
you know what he might open up.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
With the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
Watch watch at all. That's four to one.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
Yeah, you, Chris doesn't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 8 (01:10:11):
It's okay. You should listen to that song.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
I know Kendrick Lamar, but I don't know if I've
ever heard that song to be.

Speaker 8 (01:10:16):
I probably have, Yeah, it's probably.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
But I would also wonder how many of these songs
Arnie has actually.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Heard zero, none of them. I'll protell you know.

Speaker 8 (01:10:27):
That's kind of crazy. It's Black History Month. I need
you to start getting.

Speaker 10 (01:10:30):
On your get yours and the rest of his whole
it's all Kendrick.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
I like it all right, So you're all in on
the props? Then, Arnie? Is that are these some that you.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
Actually over for the ad? But only two of the
last seven renditions have gone over two minutes. The over
under is one hundred and twenty seconds point five, so
that's exactly two minutes, uh two minutes and a half.

Speaker 10 (01:10:55):
I'm not gonna say I would take over. I would
take the over in terms of national them length.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
What makes you think that.

Speaker 8 (01:11:02):
I just if he's.

Speaker 10 (01:11:03):
Playing the piano, he's gonna want to do an intro
a little bit and then he's not go into it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
But it starts with the first vocal, the first word.
And I have a theory on this, Chris. When you
play in, when you sing indoors, you drag it along
a little bit because you're comfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
Anyways, think they liked your theory. They cut you off
in the middle of it already. What was it again?

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
So you when you're inside, it's you know, you take
a little bit longer to sing the song. When you're
outside and it's cold, you want to hurry up and
get inside.

Speaker 8 (01:11:32):
That's actually true. He's not wrong, he's not wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
But how many Super Bowls have been played in cold weather?

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
I don't know New York one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
All right, to the to the xes and texts and
tweets to the show tonight, Eric writes, I took the
night off in case the Vikings made the Super Bowl.
I still have it off, and I will still watch
the Super Bowl. I'm not bored with the team that
builds the right way.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
Ps. I will not watch a halftime show. I do
not care for.

Speaker 8 (01:12:03):
Matter of fact, Hold on one second, WOA.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
Colin writes, tell Steve that even Goodell in the NFL
can't fix stupid, and that's what the cowboys are.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Ouch, Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
The problem with conspiracy theories of this size or COVID
or anything like that is the amount of people that
would have to be involved to make it happen, and
then they'd all have to keep the secret. There's zero chance,
especially in the NFL, that that many people stay quiet.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Yeah, yeah, well listen, it's a rogue referee like you
had in the NBA or something to that Effecteah, you
had one and you have fired and now you guys
treating like some hero Ooh, I gotta listen to his podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
But what do you think of John's take here?

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Before we grab a break, he writes, the NFL has
a serious problem. It doesn't matter if the games are
fixed or not, but if the perception exists that the
WWE has more honest competition to the NFL than the NFL,
is screwed because I can't see state gaming commissions allowing
any wagering. I mean, no, I don't shutting it down.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
Yeah, nobody's going to shut down the NFL and gambling
and I don't think. I mean, let me say this,
For the people that actually think the NFL's fixed, I'd
say it's about what one percent, Chris two percent of
most I know. People get upset with the team loses
and you get the wrong call and it goes for
the Kansas City Chiefs. You go crazy, but it's it's

(01:13:26):
not fixed.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what I think
is a problem. The NFL leaned into it, and I
loved it, and I think you loved it, and I
think we all loved it, and we laughed the opening
of the season. It's like, you guys, get the script,
all right, let's go through the script, you know, and everyone's.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
Joking about it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
I don't think a lot of people have a sense
of humor about that, so I think they seem like
Clark told you. I just I feel like we're in
this era that you can't lean in and make a
joke out of anything, because there's a large enough faction
of people that take you at your word, and it's like,
oh my gosh, see they're even making jokes about it.
They're mocking us. Now, that's what they want to do, Arnie.
They want you to think that it's a big joke

(01:14:03):
and then boom they hit you with the Chiefs in
the Super Bowl again when they don't mark a fourth
down spot where it's supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
That's how they get you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
So yeah, they go ahead. Yeah, there's there's nothing to
look at it here, nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
Nothing, you're joking about it.

Speaker 7 (01:14:17):
Haa.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
Would we be great if we found out like one
of the referees was a Chiefs fan or something to that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Remember we found that out a couple of years ago
in the preseason.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
That was in college or something, wasn't it you know what?

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
It might have been in college. Might have been college
and he was a big Tennessee fan or something. And
right right, like, whoa wait a minute here, buddy, can't
have you, I can't have you being an official in
this game.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
All right, we got a break when we come back.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Disager has got all the news notes and tidbits next
right here on Fox Sports Radio. Yes, yes, yes, sorry,
I didn't know that was exactly yeah. I will say though,
As Steve Disager comes rolling into the tire rack dot
Com studios, the weed smoker is about to trigger Mary
on Twitter. He rights and not like us is the

(01:15:02):
most annoying song of all time and Kendrick Lamar is
easily the worst raper I've ever heard.

Speaker 8 (01:15:07):
It's because like us, what are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
Sister?

Speaker 8 (01:15:13):
You're not like us, never will be like us.

Speaker 10 (01:15:15):
And if you understand, and you know, I can't say
it on on national radio, but you know what you gotta.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Don't don't don't get us in trouble tonight? What's going on?

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
How are we did mention Kendrick Lamar halftime performer in
one week at the super Bowl And by the way,
pregame America The Beautiful will be sung by Lauren Dagg
who's from New Orleans. Gospel singer John Batist, who we
mentioned from New Orleans, He's going to be singing the
national anthem. You might recall John Batiste was running the
band for Stephen Colbert's Late Show during the past decade

(01:15:45):
and then was getting so big he had to step
down from that gig. And then he wound up winning
what was it five Grammy Awards years ago, including Album
of the Year. He won an Oscar two for doing
the music for a Soul. If you haven't seen that
animated movie Everything, it seems like show after show for here.
Fox Sports Radio is going to be live from New

(01:16:05):
Orleans throughout the day. Yeah, yeah, except once you get
to late night, and it's kind of hard to you know,
get get at midnight Central time. Yeah, but it's going
to be quite a week of programming coming out for
Fox Sports Radio, and all will be well as long
as they have the power supplied from the city of
New Orleans. Because there's a recall the last Super Bowl

(01:16:26):
in the Superdome was just over a decade ago when
we had the power outage just after halftime. It lasted
over a half an hour. They do say that quote
physically what happened then cannot happen again. That for starters,
they replace the faulty equipment at the Dome, the power vault,
and also that part of the delay was they had

(01:16:47):
older style lights in the stadium that needed time to
warm up. Now they have new LED lights that can
immediately turn on. But also the company Entergy says, quote,
there are several layers of redundancy now for this Super Bowl,
so if something breaks, there's backups. For example, the power
coming into the city, they only need one transmission line.

(01:17:09):
They have three for the substations, they need one for
the game. They have two in separate locations for the
feeder line into the actual power vault at the Superdome. Again,
they only need one they have three, so we shall
see about that. As for the actual game, last I've seen,
the Chiefs are still a slight favorite, about a point
point and a half. For what it's worth, the Eagles

(01:17:30):
probably had the best roster I saw in the NFL
this season. They did wind up with the league's top
rank defense easily all season and the number one rushing
team in the NFC. So to have Saquon Barkley and
that elite offensive line in the regular season this is
saying something. We'll assume the offensive line is healthy. We'll
get injury updates as we go throughout this week, but

(01:17:53):
remember in the last game, center Cam Jurgens was battling
the bad back and offensive lineman land and Dickerson left
with the knee injury. For that matter, running back Kenneth
Gainwell left the NFC Championship with a concussion, and linebacker
for filling Na Kobe Dean is out for the postseason
torn Peteller tendon. But this was number one in total defense,

(01:18:13):
Philadelphia's unit and the league's top rusher regular season belonged
to them. The only other team in the whole Super
Bowl era that had both the number one defense and
the leading rusher in the league that year Emmett smith
Dallas Cowboys nineteen ninety two, and they wound up winning
the Super Bowl. The Eagles also have not been turning
it over. The last time Jalen Hurts through an interception

(01:18:34):
was November. The team has had eight straight games now
with fewer penalty yards than the opponent. They're back in
the Super Bowl, a rematch from a couple of years
ago against Case. In fact, this is now three Super
Bowls in a span of eight seasons the Eagles have
appeared in. The last NFC team to be back that
often was EMMITTT. Smith's Cowboys in the nineteen nineties. I

(01:18:55):
would assume people would be picking Kansas City just because, quote,
we've seen this before. It's probably going to be a
close game, as many of the modern era Super Bowls are,
and we know that they just don't lose close games.
Patrick Mahomes, for starters, has a career overtime that's quite
the prediction. His career playoff record is now seventeen to

(01:19:18):
three specifically, he's won nine straight in the postseason. A
couple of years ago, they beat Philadelphia in the Super
Bowl on a late field goal thirty eight to thirty
five when it was in Arizona. Remember, Jalen Hurts had
a great game and three touchdown runs, but that one
fumble in the first half that was returned for a
TD wound up being key in the close game. And

(01:19:40):
the Chiefs have won an NFL record seventeen straight one
possession games. The last time they lost a game decided
by eight points or less was two Christmases ago against
the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:19:52):
The amazing stat is here. Patrick Mahomes was drafted in
the first round in twenty seventeen. Not a single quarterback
drafted int twenty eighteen or after in any round has
won a Super Bowl yet. Not Josh Allens, of course,
beaten in the playoffs four times by Mahomes, Not Joe Burrow,
not Lamar Jackson. To keep going on down the list,
Not a single quarter next year, though drafted in twenty

(01:20:14):
eighteen or after any round, has won a Super Bowl yet.
The Eagles and Chiefs each landed in New Orleans for
next Sunday Super Bowl. Today we finished off things with
the Pro Bowl games this week. Wow, the NFC won
the Pro Bowl for the sake of history, and the
MVP of the Flag Football game was quarterback Jared Goff.

(01:20:36):
His team won fifty six fifty today. Did you notice
they were keeping a running score for the week at
the bottom, So when the flag football game started, there
was already a score on the screen of fourteen to
seven or whatever skills competition they had already had on Thursday.
It's just okay, it's still getting better TV ratings than
the NBA on TNT. Not kidding you, but my goodness,

(01:20:58):
what have we come to stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Steve? All right, when we come back to the ti
rack dot com studio, it's the hour that it will

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
I just spent a lot of money doing what I
ordered some stuff I saw on TV today. Did you
did you watch the Grammys?

Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
I did not watch the Grammy. My daughters were watching them.
They have it taped our DVRs. We can watch it tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
So you didn't see Kanye's Bianca's dress.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Right I did? I mean, come on, how could you
miss that?

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
I ordered that for my wife, did you?

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
Yeah, for my wife. And I got for myself that
hat that Will Smith's kid had on.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:22:01):
Yeah, what was that toy house or something?

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
It was supposed to be like a haunted house, I think, or.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
So I got. I got that for myself, so hopefully that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
Will get the big spender.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
Yeah. I think that was thirty five dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:22:13):
I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
Look at you bringing pop culture into the show to
you really are hip.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
I was bored to tears last night and today I
didn't know what to do. I mean, last time, at
least I had the you know, we had the Nicks
and the Lakers. But today I didn't know what to
do with myself. I mean, I I just do it.
There was a few college basketball games, but really nothing
that really peaked my interest, and there was really no
sports for me to that that Pro Bowl stuff. I

(01:22:41):
didn't even know what that was.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
I'm like, I didn't watch a single minute of it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
Yeah, don't clown me like that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Even does that make me a bad sports guy?

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
No, okay, So.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
I even watched the movie last night for them. I
saw that will Farrell Reese Weatherspoon movie. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
I saw that. I thought that was only like it's
Amazon Prime.

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
Oh okay, thought it was hysterically.

Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
I was great.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
I thought it was fantastic. She was very good. He's
always funny, but she was very good. So really, yeah,
you'll have to check it on out.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Okay, all right, I am well, I got drunk. I
mean that's what I did last night. My buddy Rob
and I and we fixed all the problems in sports.
Doesn't happen for me very often. And I figure we're
in a safe zone. None of my friends are listening
to judge me here. Uh, no one in my in
my my church group or anything. So I'm good to
go here late night. But I'll tell you what. We
had a blast. And part of the reason we had

(01:23:33):
fun is because we were just watching games, aren't he
And we're gonna hit your tweets here and we've got more.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
On yapped like crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
Yeah, people aren't happy with me either. We'll get to
the NBA the Luca trade and we'll get to the NFL.
But you know what, we had a blast watching We
had a blast watching John Calipari last night.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Oh you got into that?

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Huh got into it?

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Man? And you know you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
You don't see this very often in sports, right especially
you know players in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
It happens.

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
You know, take a Kadie going back to Oklahoma City
and you know players are trade traded so much anymore
in college college basketball and college football you can't figure
out who was weird and at what time because they're
moving around so much. But to have it at Arnie,
John CALIPARTI was at Kentucky for fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
There was only one coach that was there longer than him,
and I was like eightolfh up, he was. He was
there for forty years. That didn't happen in sports anymore.
And he won a title and he bought the best
players you could bring to Kentucky and they booed his
ass whenever he showed up last night, and listen, I
get it. He ended up in Arkansas, but y'all pushed

(01:24:40):
him there. So I was shocked.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
I really was.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
I'm not here to judge Big Blue Nation by any
stretch of the imagination, but I was really shocked. Did
they boot him and then take that like Lincoln hawk
over the top grip Arnie to be even more shocked
to see that Arkansas won that game?

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
I thought it was a wild sports Did you.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
Bring up college basketball last last Yeah? Yesterday, eleven ranked
teams lost on their Saturday type, the most in a
single day in the AP pole history. The problem is,
it's like teams like Arizona, who's not right in the
top twenty five anymore. You know, they pull it upset
or they beat somebody, and you know it's like, oh

(01:25:18):
my god, a non top twenty five team one. So
that's that's what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
Oklomb in the same way they'd be Vanderbilt. Oklom has
been a ranked team all season long. Beat Arizona, not
four or anything, but they win by thirty over Vanderbilt.
It's like, oh, look, i'd upset. You're like is it
really you kind of feel like we have two elite
teams in college basketball this year Duke in Auburn Duke
and Auburn Auburn fantastic. Auburn is the Duke's the only

(01:25:44):
loss at Auburn has this year, and they're one and
two and they should be one and two, and then
there's everyone else. But I think of that group of
everyone else, are they can win games? I think they
can absolutely stealing a game of Churny. All right, Shady
Seawan's probably getting mad at because we're talking college basketball,
So let's move on to your tweet, shall we?

Speaker 3 (01:26:03):
Maybe tim me read this one that's ripping me. I
had that somewhere. Oh, okay, here it is. I I
listened to Plank and already every Sunday Monday from ten
thirty to one am. Spaniard, Well, thank you for listening
every weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
I allreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Thanks Shane uh Spaniard. To me, he should not have
a job on Fox Sports Radio or in sports talk
at all. I don't know if he's playing a character
or really believe some of the nonsense he says, but
Plank carries him to me. I didn't even get to Talk,
Don this was like an hour number one. I haven't
even thought of that one for a while. Yeah, geez,
I give me a chance to get to some nonsense.

(01:26:40):
I'll really give you nonsense.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
I think the nonsense on the show tonight is you.
And again, like I said, maybe this is a me thing.
I'm learning more therapy has helped. But anyone that looked
at that story on Pro Football Talk involving oh gosh,
what's the dope's name? Deep and it's like, oh, his
brother thinks it is fixed, So obviously something is going on.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
So funny.

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
If you tell that to a conspiracy conspiracy theorist, they'll go, right, well,
you see I told you not exactly. Well, that's the
churry on the Sunday there. How about that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:13):
I'm a writer, Rob Jay writes because he's a writer,
so he writes. Funny how Charles Barkley would could be
forty pounds overweight and he was the round mound of rebound.
Doncic is averaging twenty eight points and seven boards. He's
twenty five, and he's fat and out of shape.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Selective commentary, Well, yeah he's I don't think he's too seventy.
He didn't look that fat when he got off the
plane today. We were talking about that earlier. Yeah, I
ever had that story. He might want to go retrack
that bad boy pretty quick. VIC Pepsi is the official
sponsor of the Super Bowl. The Superdome usually only serves
Coke products, but the Dome will only sell Pepsi for

(01:27:53):
the game. Come Monday, after the game, Coca Cola will
be served once again at all concession stands in the Dome.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
There's there that might be your Pepsi.

Speaker 3 (01:28:02):
Car I says that's why they're pulling out or something
like that, right.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
And I don't blame him. It's like, okay, whatever, h
Colin Wrights. I see this is nice about you, Colin Wrights.
I tend to agree with Arnie that this season lacked
anything exciting or interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
It was the same old, same old.

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
And as much as I want Philly to win, I'm
really not excited for the super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
Yeah. I told you that if we were going to
grade the season, Chris, and we did this a couple
of weeks ago. I believe I said, I give it
about it what a C plus. Yeah, I didn't think
there was anything out of I shouldn't say out of
the ordinary. But it was a good season, but nothing crazy.
You got the same participants. Here's Kansas City in Philadelphia, right,

(01:28:45):
no utter shock or.

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
Anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
I I thought it was just an average year.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Average. It hurts because I know how much I'm gonna
miss football in like four or five six.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
I understand that, but you're not that. I'm not fighting
with you. You're right.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
We had moments and we had games. My team finished
like four and thirteen. But in the end, you get
the Chiefs back in the Super Bowl, and I don't
know what's going to stop them outside of Andy Reid
retiring or Patrick Mahomes stepping away from football. This, you know,
Roger the engineer checked in, and I don't think he
was wrong either.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
He writes, well, what did I do with this? Here
you go?

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Mahomes are the Chiefs on the verge of it, of
the first three peat in Super Bowl history, and all
Arnie's got is whining about Cherry picked ref's calls.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
It's a shamey. Well, I'm guilty of that too, Roger.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
It's a shame the NFL is rigged for one of
the smallest markets.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
He also had he also added, and it seems just
like yesterday the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill and everyone was
throwing dirt on them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
And here we are on the verge of a three peat.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
The Chiefs will look to get out to a fast
start and sell out to make Hurts beat them with
his arm. Don't underestimate Andy Reid's play de signs to
make it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:01):
It's not that we think the NFL has fixed, but
let's be honest. Kansas City seems like they get more
calls in their favor. And that one that they that
the bills you know we're looking were if it was
a fourth down or first down, and they ruled that
it wasn't a first down, so it went to UH
to Kansas City. Right now we find out it really

(01:30:22):
looked like it was a first down. So that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
What finally sold you on that because the last week
he didn't think it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
Was the They said they looked at it electronically, okay,
and it was like eleven different views and each one
of them said that he had the first down.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
You know, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
I remember there was a time when the league would
send out the apologies the Monday after. It's like, sorry,
they kind of they've gone away from that a little bit, right.

Speaker 3 (01:30:49):
The NBA used to do that too.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
Yeah, there's that's quite the s sandwich that I'm sure
no one wants to eat, right, But I mean hearing
that that doesn't that doesn't help anything.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
You're right, does it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
Let me tell you that, I'll be honest. Referees are
allows you at their jobs. They're just bad at their jobs.
I'm sorry to say that. I mean, I don't think
you're sorry. Well, I'm probably not. I mean there's sports
talk calls that are bad at their jobs, too bad
as bad, doctors, bad, bad everybody. The referees are really
bad at their jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
A couple more you want a couple more tweets here?
We got a lot of sure.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
Here's one from the Late Night Drug Tester. He writes,
the NBA is smart trying to take over Super Bowl
beat a week with a rematch from two years ago?
Is Arnie still going to jinx the Eagles? We gotta
wait to find out, right, You have.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
To wait and find out. But I don't think you're
gonna be happy with my pick.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Oh oh uh oh. I was watching today Ted Wynn,
who's a great follow on Twitter Film film guy. He
was laying out the interior of the Eagles defensive line,
and in my mind, I'm like, oh, gosh, they might eat.
They might have a big day, right James. But he's
become and then I realiz what am I doing? They're
playing the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I've seen this there.

(01:32:04):
Chiefs are gonna win the game. So you're going to
jinx the Eagles, aren't you?

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
Yeah? I probably am. Did you see the guy that
tweeted out his gambling ticket. I think he bet twenty
five hundred dollars that Kansas City would beat Philadelphia in
the Super Bowl and he bet that in October. Really yes,
actually was forty five hundred dollars four thousand, five hundred
dollars And if he wins, he'll get like something like

(01:32:30):
two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
I would say. You know me, I pushed back against
everyone's magical ticket that they have, right.

Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
Oh, this is this is I actually said it to
Brian Know and Brian No tweeted me back, going, I
sat next to that guy in the casino yesterday. He
said to me, really, yeah, it did. Krakenberger knows him
and yeah, yeah, actually is a big game. When he
had the ticket, he put that on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Really yeah, I would not have been picking the Eagles
at that point, Arnie.

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
Yeah, this was back. I think it was the first
week in October. If not, maybe even sooner, but I
think that's when it was in octlaber.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
I like it all right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
A couple of others here real quick at stinking Genius one.
By the way, I'm at playing show. Rick Flair checked
into Nighty Rights. Arnie doesn't sound as drunk as he
usually is. Over under ten, Troll attempts to quit his
job next season. Well, if you combine this with the
Super Bowl show, yeah, I might take the over on
that because.

Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
There was some stories. There's some stories we didn't get to,
like Daffin showing interest in Milroe. I'd be sick to
my stomach if that happened.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
Right, I saw it, So you wouldn't be happy about
that week.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
And then I said to the one about the Raiders
tried to trade it to get Trigger, saying.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
Wait, wait, why wouldn't you like that Milroe?

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
No, no, no, no, I had enough of Alabama quarterbacks.
And by the way, Milroe has not looked very good
in the.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Way two was an Alabama quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
I know that was just a joke. Oh okay, all right,
And Milroe does not look good in the what was
the last game that he just played now?

Speaker 1 (01:33:56):
And well he played in the bowl game against Michigan.

Speaker 3 (01:33:58):
Yeah after that that, oh the Senior Bowl this week?
Yeah yeah, yeah, you're.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
Just nails on the exact game. Whatever that thing did,
what that thing they did this last year?

Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
Mostly he didn't look very good in practice, and he
was horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:34:14):
Yeah, Ucla Dodger Frank Rice. For a second, I thought
the MAVs might have had Arnie and his rec league
buddies suit up for the game against Cleveland today.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
I would have loved to. I would have gotten playing
time today. I'm sure you think so. Well. They were
down by forty.

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
They gave up ninety in the first half. What was it,
ninety one first half points?

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
So it's not the Huka defense that did that this time.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
That's right. That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
By the way, that Luka defense did lead them to
an NBA finals last year, I.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
Know it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
It may have helped out your knicks. Getting Karl Anthony Towns, right.
I think he's been a pretty good addition.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
Is that fair?

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
Yeah, I think he's been good. I still will never
understand why two teams that seem to be in a
pretty good place just decided to blow things up in
Minnesota in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
Right, I get get it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Bringing in Anthony Davis probably short term is gonna help
him out quite a bit. But the future was set
in Dallas for the next decade. You got a star.
The future was set in Minnesota. You had pretty good
combo in Anthony and and Cat. I mean that was good.
You blow it up. I don't I don't get it, Hardy.

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
It makes no sense to all of the three hundred
and eighty five million dollars that Luca was going to
get in Dallas. So that could have been a big
problem for Favore in Dallas or what. No, I don't
think so, not what the new owners or not.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
That's missing nobody who's been on fire tonight. Is there
a real winner in the Luca eighty trade? Both good scores.
Eighty is a better defender if he's healthy, but that
itself is a question. Luca is soft, flops and cries
and honestly he is in that sturdy So who really
won this?

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
The six years makes all the difference in the world.
You're right, You're one hundred percent, especially when you're talking
about NBA seasons. Six NBA seasons, well, that's like a
that's almost a career, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (01:35:59):
And then one more quick one here from I guess
what has been a completely opposite side from Brendan here
this evening he tweets at us. The Lakers get a
C minus because Luca looks like the Goodyear blimp out.
He does not and has a bad attitude. The Mavericks
get a D minus for taking themselves out of title contention.
I could have easily given them an F. The Jazz

(01:36:21):
get a B by the way for building for the
future effectively.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
You know there was one tweet you didn't bring up.
I'm gonna I can't find it. I wanted to bring
it up myself when we're talking about Brunson. The reason
Brunson left was because Luca what was a ballhog in
lack of better terms there. He wasn't giving the ball
enough to Brunson. I wonder if it's gonna be the
same way with him and Lebron.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
You think him and Lebron can coexist?

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
I do because I don't think Lebron needs to have
the ball in his hands all the time as much
Luca as much as Luca does.

Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
When we come back to the Tirack dot Com studios,
you know we are inching closer to Arnie super Bowl.
But we got a couple of props we can talk about,
plus some Super Bowl stats and numbers to get you
ready for the Chiefs and the Eagles. And who knows,
I mean there might be a massive trade to drop
the next couple of minutes here with Arni and Plank
on Fox Sports Radio. Alright, it's already in Plank. We're

(01:37:16):
coming to you live from the Tiraq dot Com studios.
Tons to get to you, man.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
And because I just ripped her, you read the treat
from Bill that just came in.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
I missed it. I missed it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Come on, Mary, Black History Month, how about some songs
from the Supremes, the Four Tops, Marvin Gay, Chuck Berry
when music was music and they didn't need to curse
in songs and still sold millions of records. Nothing like
the music and history of artists like them.

Speaker 8 (01:37:47):
I'm not hearing that at that. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Wow, you were just into the hate tonight. I'm trying
to first time.

Speaker 10 (01:37:54):
How are you gonna tell me what to play on
my black history? Come on, now, it's today. We focused
on rap wrap one today.

Speaker 1 (01:38:01):
There you go. We got but how many shows in
February do we get?

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
Four?

Speaker 4 (01:38:06):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
Thanks?

Speaker 8 (01:38:07):
And on top of that, what we have twenty twenty
six days?

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
We're good.

Speaker 8 (01:38:13):
I'll get to it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
Plenty of time, Bill, plenty of time.

Speaker 8 (01:38:15):
I'll even play African and Caribbean music too. Highlight. She's
got got chall.

Speaker 1 (01:38:21):
Why are you all about the hate? Field tweets tonight?
He's a hater.

Speaker 3 (01:38:25):
They're rolling in fast tonight. That's all I can tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
I like this well, I didn't like it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
But we brought up the beginning of the show trying
to find something that captured our attention, like the look
at trade last night that stole the attention from the
start of the Super Bowl, super Bowl week, whatever it
might be, and UCLA Dodger Frank brought up one. He said,
outside of Kobe's death, has there been a non Super

(01:38:50):
Bowl sports story that blew up Twitter the way this
trade did last night and through the day today. I'm
racking my brain and can't come up with anything. Boy,
those Blues guys, I'm sure are real happy about leaving
this for for a right now. I bet Blue Ski
was our Blue Sky or whatever the hell it is,
and everyone said they were going to but nobody's talking
about today. Yeah, that's a good question. We were trying

(01:39:13):
to rack our brains with it earlier. I mean, this
is just something that we see, but you don't. This
what I liked when everyone tried to come up with
the NFL comparison and Adam Shefter said it's like Joe
Burrow for Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Yeah, no, it's not. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:39:29):
I mean, I don't know where the hell you got
that from, but that's a terrible comparison for this. The
hockey ones were good that I saw, Arnie. This is unparalleled.
This is a rockstar. I mean, Luca is a rockstar
in Dallas. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
I'm still not sure why Dallas had to settle for
so little in return, And when I mean by so little,
you couldn't even get that extra first round draft pick.
Look at all the draft picks that Rudy Gobaert demanded
or the draft picks that the Knicks had to give
up to get Bridges. I mean there was like four
or five of them, so I'm surprised they couldn't even

(01:40:02):
get that second first round pick. It's like they just said,
the hell with it, We're just taking them off our hands.

Speaker 1 (01:40:09):
Every single trade in the NBA anymore, Arnie at least
has a pick swap or something, right, nothing, nothing, just
a future first They got a.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
First didn't They didn't get a first round pick in that?

Speaker 1 (01:40:22):
No, well, they got a first round pick. But I'm
saying multiple swaps. I mean, look, look at the Thunder.
They're still getting guys from the Chris Paul trade in
the Russell Westbrook trade. I mean, it's it's crazy, right,
They're still getting guys from the Paul George trade to
the Clippers. And you're telling me, for Luca, you got
one first round pick and there's no pickswaps or anything

(01:40:45):
here to pile on Dallas. I'm just I'm confused by it.
You know, it's kind of here to tell you too.
I'm sorry, any but I'm I think doubt's gonna be
really good with Anthony Davis.

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
I see it the other way, and I think actually
the Lakers could make a run. But isn't it a
funny that the NBA, right, But it was such a
Wyatt Mundane year up till now. And this trade is
just woken everybody up in the NBA. I mean it
has really rattled people to, hey, pay attention to us,
pay attention to us. We're gonna be here after the
NFL closes now or you know, done after the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
Well I would, I would say, you can say it
hasn't been an exciting year. Your team isn't leading the
Western Conference.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
So when I said this before and you got mad
at me, and it's true, and you can get mad
at me again. The reason it's not an exciting year
is the wrong teams are are the best teams in
the NBA. And you know what I mean by like
Cleveland and Oklahoma City. They're just not the big markets
that you get with the Boston's, the New York's, the
la Is, the Golden State, stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:41):
So they just shut the team down, Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
Shut it just Memphis and all those Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
Let's just cower to these big cities where, oh my gosh,
what are we gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
It's a big nobody, Chris. Let's let me know.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
It doesn't matter, is it can't look at Kansas City.
Kind of market is Kansas City?

Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
Football is completely different? I mean Green Bay was good
and look kind of market are they? Football is in
Utah for Utah.

Speaker 1 (01:42:06):
Whenever they had called Malone and they would go, No,
one was bitching about it being the market.

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
They didn't they played for them.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
They played for the Western never one, never won. So
you're telling me it would be all different if they
want a title. Look, no, you're still grinching moan about
it because it's Utah market.

Speaker 3 (01:42:24):
But they had two Hall of famers on their team.

Speaker 1 (01:42:27):
Are you telling me you don't think Shay Gil just
Alexander has to potentially be a Hall of Famer?

Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
I guess he does, Yes, yes, But.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
I mean, but you need to watch a Thunder game.

Speaker 3 (01:42:35):
Okay, Oklahoma City, I mean Utah's with Malone and Stockton,
those guys are like famous that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
You're part of the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:42:43):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
I am, so didn't quit bitching about it. Watch a game.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
Watch the Knicks were number one in the East and
the Lakers were number one in the West. We'd be
talking about the NBA every every show.

Speaker 1 (01:42:56):
Would we Are you telling me the play would be
magically better if they were one in each in each.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
Not the play, just that the Lakers in New York
were not.

Speaker 1 (01:43:04):
All I hear is how the play socks. So you're
telling me that this is a market thing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
I would say yeah, I would say more. Look, you're crazy.
I do think if the Lakers and the Knicks were
number one of their conferences to be a.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
Lot, But they're not. So does that mean everything is bad?

Speaker 3 (01:43:21):
Just lack of interest doesn't mean it's bad. But it's
just I think you're crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
The NBA where was Golden State before they ended up
being the best team in the NBA for a stretch
of you know, seven eight years, nobody ever watched them?

Speaker 2 (01:43:33):
Did they was it magically?

Speaker 1 (01:43:35):
Because they claimed Oakland and San Francisco that it was
good and it was worth watching because of the market
they were in and they.

Speaker 3 (01:43:41):
Were exciting with the play they did and Steph Curry
and all that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:45):
You're you're you're changing your argument. You're saying that the
NBA isn't exciting because it's not major market teams that
are good. Am I wrong on that class?

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
You're absolutely You don't think there'd be a bigger interest
in the NBA if it was New York in LA
on top instead of Cleveland and Oklahoma City? Why why
is there less? Why is there lesson teams?

Speaker 1 (01:44:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
I mean have you have you watched? Have you watched them?
Who gives out?

Speaker 1 (01:44:10):
Gosh?

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
You almost had a dummy?

Speaker 11 (01:44:11):
I no, you see, But that's but if you do
like good basketball, yes, but watch the thunder Dude, they
don't have to have Knicks or Lakers across their chest
to be good and be entertaining, relatable.

Speaker 3 (01:44:25):
I'm sure the SEGA could probably give us the answer
to this.

Speaker 2 (01:44:28):
Let's start an argument with something, and you don't have
the facts.

Speaker 3 (01:44:31):
Have the facts. But I've been to the highest rag
rated NBA games this year. I probably have the Lakers
or the Knicks, or the Celtics or the Warriors. And
I'm not Oklahoma City or Cleveland? Am I wrong on that?

Speaker 1 (01:44:44):
Probably?

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Not? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:44:46):
But is that Megan right?

Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
I'm saying it's right. I'm just saying it's the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:44:50):
Hold on, I don't know. I'm gonna look, I don't
think I think that. I think the Thunder Calves game
was the most watched game in the NBA this year. Really,
I could be wrong on that, but see, you're still
talking out of your on it though you don't know
that's the same though. No, no, well, because Google sucks
and the first thing I pull up is something from
twenty twenty. But I mean, I don't get it. I

(01:45:13):
don't understand why you would think everything is terrible because
the teams you're used to watching aren't the good team terrible.
They're doing is incredible. Man, there's more watch.

Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
There'd be more interest in the NBA. There'd be more
talk about the NBA, that's for sure. I mean, look
how much we're talking about stuff this trade alone instead
of it. We talked so much more excitement about this
trade than Cleveland, who's forty at nine. I mean, they're fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:45:39):
Well it's Cleveland, so nobody cares.

Speaker 2 (01:45:40):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:45:41):
When we come back to the tiraq dot com studios,
I did have a few props here, but I realized
all the ones that you were throwing out were the
ones that I sent you. So, uh, there are some
Super Bowl MVP props, Yeah, I got all of them.
There's some Super Bowl mentions first as far as it
TV broadcast, and I know you got them all, but

(01:46:02):
you didn't put him on the Roman numeral rundown for no,
So I had to go working for myself.

Speaker 3 (01:46:07):
Well, I did put it a Roman numeral number four
prop bets.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
But you didn't put the prop bets on there.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
No, Well, there's like one hundred pages.

Speaker 1 (01:46:14):
I won one hundred pages of them because Steve de
Seger is here to get us ready for all that
and much more with what's trending, what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:46:21):
Steve's and elitist. He doesn't want to see Cleveland, Oklahoma City.

Speaker 5 (01:46:26):
Actually, Chris can back me up on this, going back
over a decade. One of the phrases of this show
is as good as good. Oklahoma City is good. Golden
State was nothing until this past decade. They were entertaining.
It really didn't matter that they were in not the
largest market in the league. By the way I charted

(01:46:48):
Christmas ratings, I assume that's the day that got the
best NBA ratings that would curry against lebron and Boston Philadelphia.
We did have Boston at Philadelphia tonight and the Celtics
were trailing ninety to sixty four, down twenty six late
in the third quarter and still beat Philly one eighteen
to one ten. So Boston's record now thirty five and fifteen.

(01:47:11):
Tyrese Maxi thirty four points in defeat, but Jason Tatum
scored thirty five points and had eleven assists in the
late game. John Morant of the Grizzlies was out again
with a sore shoulder, but Jaron Jackson had thirty seven
points in a Memphis win. At Milwaukee won thirty two
to one nineteen. Cleveland is forty and nine. They were
up on Dallas after the first quarter fifty to nineteen,

(01:47:33):
one forty four to one oh one the final. Cleveland
from three point range today twenty six for forty five.
Klay Thompson and the MAVs shot one of ten from
the floor. Kyrie Irving did not play due to his
sore shoulder. Cleveland at home twenty four and three. Toronto
has won eight of its last ten games. He'll be
hosting New York on Tuesday. Raptors beat the Clippers today

(01:47:54):
one fifteen to one oh eight. Kawhi leonards six of
eighteen from the floor. Detroit beat chicag Iago despite a
triple double from the Bulls Nick Vucevich won twenty seven
to one nineteen for the Pistons. Fifteen assists for keg Cunningham.
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday. Sacramento deals di Aaron
Fox in a three team deal to the Spurs. Zach
Lavine winds up with the Kings. San Antonio's Victor women

(01:48:16):
Yama is questionable for Monday due to illness. He did
not play Saturday. Zion Williamson of New Orleans after an illness,
will return to play on Monday. Anthony Edwards and Minnesota
questionable for Monday due to illness. He missed the Saturday
game when they actually lost to the Wizards, a Washington
team that had lost sixteen games in a row until
last night. Houston All Star center Alpa and Shnguon questionable

(01:48:38):
for tomorrow with a Bruce calf he's missed. The last
couple of games were a couple weeks away from San
Francisco hosting the NBA All Star Game in two weeks
on Fox TV. The Daytona five hundred, the annual exhibition,
was tonight. NASCAR's clash was in North Carolina. Chase Elliott
the winner. Ryan Blaney was second pitcher. Jack Flaherty is
going back to the Detroit Tigers, signing with them for

(01:48:59):
whom he pitched for part of last year. Former MLB
commissioner Fae vince And died at the age of eighty six.
He took over in nineteen eighty nine when Bart Jamonti
passed away and Vincent lasted three years in the job.

Speaker 3 (01:49:11):
Good guy, good guy.

Speaker 5 (01:49:12):
Yeah, it seemed like he had the interests of the
game forefront in his mind. And of course that's why
he didn't last his whole contract, because he wasn't like
Bud Selig, an owner becoming commissioner and just doing what
the owners wanted. Alabama's new offensive coordinators due to be
Ryan Grubb. He lasted one year with the Seahawks. The
raiders new offensive coordinator. At least he's back with Kayland Boorr.

(01:49:34):
Remember he was Washington Huskies. They were together with that
offense for.

Speaker 1 (01:49:37):
It and originally hired by Alabama before he took the
Seahawks job.

Speaker 5 (01:49:41):
Oh, that's right, he was going to follow him there.
You are correct, and you know Seahawks, let's just say
they've had more than one person as the problem with
that offense in recent years. The Raiders' new offensive coordinator
will reportedly be Chip Kelly, who was the OC for
Ohio State this past season. So that's great news for him.
He doesn't have to be a head coach, doesn't have

(01:50:02):
to give an interview, doesn't have to meet anybody. The
NFC won the Pro Bowl. The Eagles and Chiefs each
landed in New Orleans for next Sunday Super Bowl. Rory
McElroy won by two strokes at Pebble Beach. This is
one of those elite events that's a non major but
has a huge payout three point six million dollars for
Rory McElroy for four days of golf in the Bay Area.

(01:50:23):
Live golf season starts next weekend in Saudi Arabia. NHL
wins for the Rangers in Dallas upset, and women's hoops
Iowa beat number four USC seventy six sixty nine on
the day the Hawkeyes retired Caitlin Clark's number twenty two.
This is an SC team that had won fifteen in

beat Louisville and number six Yukon twelve and zero in
the Big East. After beating Butler upset in men's hoops
tonight is Nebraska won at number sixteen Oregon.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Back to you, Oh, by the way, I got one
quick hot take too, Mary, get your hand on the
dumb button. I don't want to get in trouble if
you think this shouldn't go out on the air. Those
poor boy sandwiches are overrated, my friend. I want you
to know that. That's my hot take. Chris, So Now,
since hell are you talking about those? Since the Super
Bowls of.

Speaker 5 (01:51:27):
New Orleanuisiana recipe?

Speaker 3 (01:51:29):
Yeah, those poor the poor boys or something.

Speaker 8 (01:51:32):
It's called pole boy, po boy.

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
It's just a sandwich, man, It's just another Sandwich's got shrimp, right,
because I do like the shrimp ones, right, I do it?

Speaker 5 (01:51:40):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (01:51:41):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
Lasted long? Yeah, all right, A couple of quick tweets. Yeah,
they're either overrated, they got trip like our boss.

Speaker 3 (01:51:53):
Took us to a ourt boss took us to a
breakfast place out there in New Orleans. I think it
was called Brennan's and it's the most expensive breakfast place
I think I've ever been to in Like, the eggs
are like thirty five dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:52:06):
Define our boss. Yeah, oh this was my old boss.

Speaker 5 (01:52:09):
Okay, boss, Yeah, Boss, I don't recall your I being
in New Orleans this way.

Speaker 3 (01:52:14):
Yeah yeah, that was a long time ago when I
was there.

Speaker 1 (01:52:16):
So I will say this as a close on the NBA.
My challenge to everyone. You fall into a trap, and
Arnie's guilty of this. You just think, if it's not
the Lakers or the Knicks that are good, then the
NBA must suck because you're always gonna get better numbers
for bigger markets if you truly invest and take the

(01:52:37):
time to watch. The Thunder are fun. The Cavaliers are fun.
The Grizzlies are fun. They're like Golden State on steroids.
They're fun teams. Man, and your arrogance is not allowing
you to truly enjoy the NBA, right.

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
It's it's what ESPN does man tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
I mean, everyone's gonna be talking about Luca, But why
do people push back because you're cramming the freaking Lakers
down our throats and Nixed down our throats, and there's
much more going on in the month.

Speaker 3 (01:53:04):
I'll make one point. Look at Cleveland's record. Look how
great they've played and the lack of you know, national
talk about them. Now, go back to when Lebron was
on Cleveland and how much we talked about them, especially
when Kyrie was on the team. It's like night and day.
I mean, forty and nine records phenomenal. If Lebron was
on the team and they were five hundred, we'd be

(01:53:26):
talking about them more.

Speaker 2 (01:53:28):
But does that make it right.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
I'm not saying it's right. I'm just giving you fact.
I'm giving you the truth.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
But you're giving us truth in a situation.

Speaker 1 (01:53:36):
Like a situation you're like, well, if Lebron was on
this team right now, he's not. We talk about Lebron incessantly,
and everyone pushes back against it, like I'm tired of
Lebron talk. But yeah, you're sitting here saying I need
to talk about him more. Why were we talking about
Lebron during football season? I mean, gosh, because that's what

(01:53:56):
everyone wants.

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
It's wrong to be talking about the second player in
the history of the NBA, though, I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:54:02):
What second best in the history of the NBA.

Speaker 3 (01:54:06):
Why is he ahead of Jordan? You?

Speaker 1 (01:54:08):
This is Arnie Span you're talking here. You're putting him
number two all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
I'm an MJ guy. Sorry, Lebron, I am an MJ guy.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
I just spent number two?

Speaker 3 (01:54:16):
Am I gonna get in trouble? Is Lebron's camp gonna
call me like they did Steven Smith?

Speaker 2 (01:54:20):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:54:21):
When we were come back to the tire rack dot com studios.
It's Arnie's picks. He's he's written out an actual score boy. Yes, yeah,
for the game. So sit back, relax, and enjoy Arnie's
take on the super Bowl. Next on Fox Sports Radio.
Don't forget next week for the Super Bowl, Arnie and
I will be on live during the game. So little

(01:54:41):
shift in our normal time? Well, will it be five
o'clock Central, three o'clock Pacific? And uh it says what
five thirty five thirty ish?

Speaker 2 (01:54:51):
Kick for the game? Six thirty eastern? Right?

Speaker 3 (01:54:55):
Enough with the central is about six twenty I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:54:57):
Enough with the central time, God's time zone. The only
times on that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:55:01):
That's wrong about six twenty eastern is what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:55:04):
Okay, we'll see how that plays out. What's your what
would you put your odds that it actually kicks off
at six twenty eastern?

Speaker 3 (01:55:10):
I would say it since is six twenty six to
twenty five right around there. They're pretty good on kickoff.

Speaker 1 (01:55:14):
They're okay in the Super Bowl, not always on point
any other ten.

Speaker 3 (01:55:18):
It's gonna be a long one. It will be about
a four hour game.

Speaker 1 (01:55:20):
Well, we have to have five hours to break you
down next week today, so we'll be here with you
on Fox Sports. Rady all right, Arnie, taking away with
your picks. What you got leading in the Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (01:55:29):
Siding go.

Speaker 3 (01:55:32):
Super Bowl fifty nine, my friend, all right, this is
gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a close one,
and there's gonna be changing leads in this game. Philadelphia
is gonna start on top. They're gonna score on the
first drive to take a seven to nothing lead. It's
gonna be like a Jalen Hurt's gonna rumble into the

(01:55:53):
end zone on a bootleg, so they'll get there. Always
seven to nothing lead will be a nice long drive.
Kansas City will come back, though out by a pass
interference call, and they'll tie it up. So after the
first Philadelphia Kansas City all tied at seven. Much more
action in the second Kansas City gets a touchdown, Philadelphia

(01:56:13):
gets a touchdown. Kansas City gets a field goal right
before the half. We go into the half, Kansas City
leads Philadelphia seventeen to fourteen. Mahomes is having the game
of his life. Herts is having the game of his life.
We're getting a lot of offense. Sat Quon Barkley's running
the ball well. Can't see what the second half brings us.

(01:56:34):
Second half slows down a little bit. In the third quarter,
Kansas City gets a touchdown also, but Philadelphia has to
settle for a field goal. So going into the fourth
it's twenty four seventeen in favor of Kansas City. Philadelphia
has the ball first in the fourth, they tie it
up at twenty four. They get the ball back late

(01:56:56):
in the game, there's twenty seven seconds left.

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
And they get a.

Speaker 3 (01:57:00):
Field goal to get a twenty seven twenty four lead,
and they're gonna win the Super Bowl. They're gonna win
the Super Bowl. Kansas City throws up a late hal
mary it falls to the ground and it looks like
Philadelphia's won the game. But wait a minute, what's that

(01:57:23):
over there? By the confetti, Chris, The referees are gathering
the the referees are gathering together. There's a flag on
the play. They say, there's a late flag that came
fifteen minutes later or something like that. They have to
get there to get together, and said, pass interference on
Philadelphia on somebody. We don't know who, but it was

(01:57:45):
on somebody. Kansas City gets one more play and now
they get to kick the field goal. And it's all
tied up as we go in overtime and Kansas City
gets the ball first. All they have to do is
score a touchdown and they win the game. But yes,
what the ball's deflected and Patrick Mahomes is picked off
and they can't throw a flag on that, can't they? Chris?

Speaker 2 (01:58:08):
Oh you know what?

Speaker 3 (01:58:09):
You know what Sirianni says. He goes, Look, we can't
run a play. They'll start calling holding on us. They'll
back us up three times in a row thirty yards.
We'll be out of field goal. Race. Kick the field
goal now, and that's what they do. The kick is
up and is good, and the Eagles win thirty twenty seven.

(01:58:30):
In the Super Bowl, MVP goes the hurts. So there
you have my picks, do with them as you please,
no longer strictly for entertainment purposes only Mary.

Speaker 1 (01:58:41):
What was the fight like with the overmodulation.

Speaker 8 (01:58:44):
I'm not gonna let off. I was so crazy and
I kept. I feel like I kept trying to put
him down and he just kept. He literally kept.

Speaker 10 (01:58:52):
But honestly, you know what, I'm not mad at it
because you have JA. I had literally have Jayalen Hans
as my MVP, So there you go.

Speaker 8 (01:58:58):
Yeah, they actually have of.

Speaker 2 (01:59:01):
An. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (01:59:03):
I'm not going to argue with you about Jalen Hurts
MVP or what I like it. Yeah, buddy, you could
bet a wide receiver to be the MVP thirteen to
two odds, or a tight end nine to one odds.
Are any defensive position Arnie sixteen to one.

Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
Oh that's some good one.

Speaker 2 (01:59:23):
That's not bad, right, not bad at all.

Speaker 1 (01:59:26):
Now, this was one other prop bet. I don't know
again if it's still available, but the Super Bowl Mint
MVP would mention first team or teammates right whenever they're
he's giving is his MVP speech right team or teammates
two to three odds. God a religion three to two.

(01:59:49):
City or fans nine to one. I could see if
you know, a Kelsey or someone wins, it's like Kansas
City and if you get that first, that's ninety one
odds right there.

Speaker 3 (02:00:00):
I can see if Mahomes wins it saying like the officials.

Speaker 1 (02:00:03):
Yeah, officials, Hey, Taylor Swift is thirty three to one on.

Speaker 2 (02:00:09):
Those is going to propose?

Speaker 3 (02:00:10):
Is Travis Kelsey get a propose?

Speaker 1 (02:00:13):
Oh my gosh, come on, no, if Taylor Swift is
gonna get married, you can't actually, you know what, thinking
about her, thinking about her songwriting history. Yeah, maybe that's
like the perfect place for her to actually get engaged.

Speaker 3 (02:00:28):
What if they lose then he doesn't propose, then don't
forget about it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:32):
That'll be fair enough. Well, we'll be here covering all
the action for you next Sunday night. Arnie and I
will be live during the game. Uh So we'll start
our pregame coverage at six o'clock Eastern, five Central, three Pacific,
and I'll just have live coverage. We'll keep tabs on
these prop bets. Were the first place to hear the
over under on the anthem, which is usually a pretty
good fight. And we'll be talking about the game all Sunday.

(02:00:54):
Can't wait, Arnie, have a great week leading up to
it too. Stick around big Big mallor is coming up.
Thanks for Mary, for Patrick for the sayor for Arnie Spaniard.
