Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Here's in
the bonus with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What I've dog Gottleep showing the bonus and Fox Sports
Radio welcome in. Do Do Do Do Do? Do? Do
Do do?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hasn't everybody given a press conference for new head coaching
job today? You did that yesterday? Right? Did you? Did you?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
All?
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Ju? How to do?
Speaker 6 (00:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Seriously, you're you hate everything, You're a harsh critic.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
How to do Oh? From what I've seen of the
press conference, and I've just seen and heard highlights, it
looks like he came off well. It looks like you
had some prepared things to say and then some things
that were off the cuff. But I thought, overall, I
give you high marks. Did you uh did you see
if any feedback otherwise?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I mean, you know it's those things are right, Like
nobody's gonna go like, man, you bombed there?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
True? Right, that's true?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah? So uh just got I just you know what, like,
here's the deal, this is actually perfect forum for it.
Eight years ago, eight years ago, I guess no, seven
years ago, I don't remember. I obviously I interviewed for
oaklhandm State and Mike Boyton, who is a great friend
of mine, sent me a really nice text. Yesterday. UH
(01:32):
ended up getting the head coaching job. And and before
I before I UH had a meeting with you know,
the athletic director at the time, Mike Holder, and three
other donors. Before I had that one, I sat there
and go, man, I have to show them that I'm
prepared for this job. So I had headshots of assistant coaches.
(01:58):
I had players that I wanted to have transfer in immediately.
I had notes from from parents, I had schedule stuff
I had, and I had it all in a little
almost like a brochure, you know. And I actually spent
like all that morning at Kinko's, you know, printing them
all out, getting them all and I'm you know, I'm
(02:18):
not good at that stuff, but it was. It was
a beautiful presentation where I stood up in front of
the group and here's what I did. But I when
I didn't get the job, I said to myself, like,
that's not me. That's not my strength. My strength is
just talking. You know who I am, what I'm about,
what my team's about. And that's what I did today.
So yeah, I thought it. I thought it was it
(02:39):
was a good representation of who I am and and
some of the stuff that I've been going through, you know,
so it was great.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
How well did the hard questions you got from us
yesterday on our on air mock press conference. How much
did that prepare you for today?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think a lot. I mean, it's just all. Here's
the thing. The one issue with doing it that way
is you do you start to forget which is real
and which is fake. And I'm not saying it was
fake yesterday with the questions, but I in my mind
because I had run through it with you guys, and
(03:21):
then run through it basically what I wanted to say
last night when I was driving up from Milwaukee and
then i'd gotten you know, I took a little time
in my office and you know, mentally tried to catch
my train of thought on one I wanted to run through.
At some point I was like, wait, did I say
this yet or did I just say it in practicing? Say, guys,
am I making sense? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, yeah, I've done interviews, You've done a bunch of things,
and you wanted to you didn't know if you'd already
said something. Sure, I will say this about the mock
press conference yesterday, and I implore any of our listeners
to find it on our podcast on the iHeart radio app.
High marks from management. Our bosses liked the mock press conference,
(04:02):
which was a damn buyer idea by the way, So
if you didn't enjoy it, our bosses did.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Hm good. I did enjoy it. I thought it was great,
no doubt, no doubt at all. So my I mean,
it's crazy how this how this stuff works? Right? Like
you think the text messages which they were over you
know eleven hundred yesterday would stop and I'm looking at
my phone now and where are we at here?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I don't know about text messages, but that seventeen the
tweet from Rick Patino that that must have felt good?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
How cool was that? How cool was that? Like out
of nowhere? That was amazing At Gottlieb Show, will kill
it at Green Bay. His dad was a terrific coach,
and Doug really knows the game. Now go get strong
at IL. Thank you, Let's go do it. Oh yeah,
let's go dude. How great is that?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It would have only been better if he would have
been like some advice for Doug ted Benny is not
walking through that door, the guy that led Green Bay
and scoring in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's fine. Larry Bird's not walking through that door. Jeff
nor God is not walking through that door. Tony Bennett
is not walking through that door. Mac Recky is walking
through that door. No, that would be amazing. Maybe he
heard the fact that I said he's the greatest modern
day coach ever because he was ahead of tanking, ahead
(05:31):
of use to three point shot, ahead of advanced analytics,
and ahead of conditioning as well. Like he's literally he's
that guy. My dad's favorite story was that when he
was the head coach of Jacksonville, he played in the
NITT Final four, back when people cared about the nit
in Madison's Gregg Garden and the point god for UMass
in the third place game was jack that Jacksonville played
(05:53):
against was none other than Rick Patino.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show Weekeday. He said, three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Let's get to what the Fox says, and now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What does the Fox say?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Do uh?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Every day at this time with the Doug Gottlieb Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. We play for your portion
of previous show on Fox Sports Radio or Fox Sports One.
This is me on with Dan Patrick earlier today.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
If you have nil, if you'd like to, you'd like
to donate to our collective help. You can start in
the first game if you have eligibility. Matter of fact,
you can coach and start.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You can play.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Pay you if I pay you one hundred thousand dollars. Yes,
I get to start the first game of your college
coaching career.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Sure, do you have eligibility? Absolutely? Doney?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Why not? Now not just start?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I need to go Brunson on you.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
You can play the whole game.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes, you have big a little I'm gonna try.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to play.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I mean, listen, Dan, I'm serious. If you really give
like it ain't gonna matter. You know, we'll play a
zone I hate zone. We'll play his zone. We'll put
four dudes around you. Be fine, stay in the corner, Dan,
We'll find you.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I mean that. That's an extra accurate portrayal. Right, it's
the old pay for play, and at some point Dan
will get to pay for his own play. Uh, Of
course that's tongue planted firmly in cheek. But it's been really,
really fun to have these conversations about this job at
at at green Bay. After I got off the air. Apparently,
here's Dan and Paul Papps having this exchange.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Stay with me on my theory here, and it's Apple's Oranges.
Colorado hires Deon sanders They see a lot of upside
from a exposure standpoint, and it worked out. Now, this
is not that, But I wonder if Dion sanders Hire
will open the door for war guys like Doug or
or other former athletes.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
What it already has. Ye, you got a couple of
guys as the historically black colleges and universities. Eddie George
got a job. There is there another former athlete who
got a head coaching job there? Marvin looking now, okay,
I thought there might have been one other. Look, there's
only one. Dion and Doug got them national publicity right
(08:19):
there that they would never get. No one would care
who Wisconsin green Bay's coach is going to be. But
Doug going there, we know him has a reputation with
college basketball, covers college basketball. Now you're coaching college basketball.
So you went from being an expert as we all
are and when we turn on the microphone to now
you have to show that you're an expert. It's one
(08:42):
thing to talk it, it's another thing to actually do it.
Now people are going to watch and go, Okay, let's
see what you know.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Look, it's totally fair. That's totally fair. I mean, that's
the big And that's one of my messages today, guys.
And I don't know if you thought it made sense.
Was There's nothing I can really say about knowing I
can coach that's going to prove anything to you. Nothing,
nothing I can say that's going to prove anything to you.
(09:09):
So Dan Dan gets it. Did Dion open doors? No,
but he did change so many people's perspective on the
idea that college coaching is not always just about coaching.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now, for Dion, he's got to come through this year
with a better product, with more wins, not just the attention.
And I think that's gonna be the challenge to me
as well, No question. Here's Rachel Nichols talking about Nikola Jokic.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Wolves playing great defense. They still are just an excellent
defensive team. They really didn't do a lot wrong. It
was just that man Denver did everything right. And I
know that Mike Conley wasn't there. I just don't think
it would have made the difference. I think Nikola Jokic
was exceptional. He was eight of nine when Rudy Gobert
(09:57):
was guarding him. He the spin oooves, the shaken big,
the three pointer. I mean that last three he hit
the step back with over Rudy's outstretched hand. That was
a perfect shot. Yeah, I mean the arc on that
shot was insane, the way it went up and down.
I mean, he had teammates, you know who pretended they
were fainting on the bench. It was incredible. That was
a display. That is why I voted for him for
(10:18):
MVP again. I understand that you're a shape backer, I
get it, But to me, this showed why Jokic deserves
the MVP. He's won three and four years. He is
the best player in the game right now, period the end.
And I don't think anyone was beating him last night.
And I still am going to pick them to win
the title again this year because I just I just
(10:40):
don't see it. I don't see anyone completely beating them
in a seven game series.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it's like it's competitive greatness. Can you be great
when greatness is called upon? And he absolutely, absolutely positively was.
I Look, I strongly disagree with with Skip because I
love Shay and Cha's probably a better pure offensive score
but doesn't make guys better the way that Jokic does.
(11:05):
But when Yoki goes into his bag and he starts shaking, baking,
it's it's fun. Yeah, I'm I'm with Rachel on this one.
It was fun to watch. But the bigger thing is
that's a guy who took the challenge and has has
more than shown up like he's the best player in
the league. I would I would say that, you know,
it's hard because it never feels like he's healthy late
(11:27):
in the year. You know, I still think Lucas in
that discussion. Of course, we'll see what happens when they
when they match up with the Celtics essentially in the finals.
But I'm with Rachel on that one. That's what the
Fox said say.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekday. He's at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Let's find out
who or what is annoying Jason Stewart, and now it's
your annoying. Everything annoys you, including me, what annoys you
(12:12):
most today?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Stephen A. Smith and Charles Barkley are the two leading
voices in our industry. People listen to them and I
think that's why this is important, Like they actually are influential,
so what they say matters. Charles Barkley a week ago
said that the Nuggets are going to get swept and
(12:33):
he's been very defensive about it ever since, the opposite
of contrite. Instead of saying, you know what, I was
wrong and I was damn right insulting to tell the
defending champs that they were going to get swept out
of the series by a team that's never been this far,
but no, he's gone the opposite way.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And this is what he said that really was interesting.
Did he say it that because you know, I hate
when coaches try to act like dude, we get paid
to give an opinion. If you watch those first two games,
you didn't think Dema was going to win the act
like we just pulled it out our ass or something
just made it up. When you watched those first two games,
feel like Man, the Minnesota Wolves look better than the
(13:16):
den of Nuggets. Now Denver's playing great, and he wanted
to act like he played a tape man, I don't care.
You know, I've always liked Mike Malone. I really liked
his dad. But he annoys me because he think like, hey, hey,
he won a championship. He ain't the greatest thing since
lights bread. But they act like guys. First of all.
He I think Steven A and Mike, Willbud all of
(13:37):
us was out apparently on his tape, but we only
can go.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
By what we saw.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Okay, there's a fatal flawed to your explanation, Chuck. You
didn't say that they were going to have a hard
time winning the series. You didn't say that they're probably
not going to win the series. Now you said they're
going to get swept. And you know why you said that,
because that's the most interesting thing say, right, That's what
the problem with our industry is. You're not going to
(14:05):
give an honest evaluation because it's not interesting. You're going
to say something extreme. And when you say something extreme,
then your apology better be as extreme because you're insulting
a fan base and players and coaches. When you say
you're going to get swept, like Colin Cowherd at Thanksgiving
(14:25):
said that Jordan Love cannot play that the packers need
to find their replacement going on the next Monday, and
saying I was wrong about that. That's not enough. There
should be a more punitive measure in place for people
that take these strong stances and are dead wrong, because
you're insulting people's professionalism.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I just think it's so hard for people to just
go I was wrong. And the crazy thing about Charles
Barkley and look, one of the things I think you've
tapped in with Charles Barkley is that we've always known
is that he can get away with things that no
one else can get away with. Right. That's the beauty
to Barkley, Right, he can literally he could literally say
(15:10):
fuck fuck, fuckety fuck and be fine because he's Charles Barkley, Like, ah,
that was just that's his check being chuck. But the
interesting part that you've honed in on is Charles Barkley
supposed he's against this kind of hot take, like I'm
against hot takes. That's a hot take, isn't it, right?
A hot take? It may not have been that hot
(15:30):
a take. At the time, it was just wrong, and
it's okay to say is wrong. Now what he's saying
now actually makes a lot of sense. Hey, based on
what we've seen, Yeah, they were gonna get swept. But again,
that's not that you didn't give that context when you
made those statements. I agree with you. It is annoying.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So Angel Reese has been in this segment many times recently,
so as the entire league last night is celebrating the
Caitlin Clark's first game. Then I guess there was an
exciting doubleheader with the Las Vegas whatever's beat the whatever team,
whatever city. Angel Reese was put in on her Instagram
(16:12):
a picture of her on a commercial flight and her
comment is just praying that this is the last commercial
one of the last commercial flights the Chicago Sky has
to fly. I think that there's like a there's a
disconnect here and that I think Angel Reese is probably
(16:33):
talking to like minded people, people who actually think WNBA
players deserve charter flights and that it's that it's acceptable
under their revenue generation to do it. She's talking to
other players, she's talking to people who agree with her,
But to the rest of us, the ninety nine percent
(16:53):
of us. It looks disconnected and thoughtless and completely ungrateful.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, praying this is our last commercial flight. I mean,
I just you know, you know, I think the thing
that people this, this was my belief on the commercial
flight versus charter flights, Like you can fly charter that's cool, right,
but it should be special. It should be a special
and oh yeah, by the way, don't broadcast it on
(17:24):
social media. I think you're actually way better off celebrating
the fact that you're flying on commercial. Why because that's
what all your fans fly on, is fucking commercial, right,
So you end up turning people off, the very same people.
I understand social media wants you to be treated like
NBA players, but the real world like who you're The
(17:45):
Kaitlin Clark fans are Midwestern fans that believe that Caitlin
Clark is just a hard working girl next door, respectful
of her elders, you know, all that checking all the boxes,
and Caitlyn has handled all of this stuff, even the
video of her on the charter flight, like she's not
up wilding out, she's just hanging out, sitting in her
chair and just yeah, you strike it. Maybe not as ungrateful,
(18:09):
but as entitled. And that's something that really doesn't rub
people the right way, especially when you haven't really done
anything to earn that entitlement.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, I mean the revenue or the expected revenue generated
by the WNBA to cover the twenty five million dollars
a year for charters whatever, that's not going to be.
Angel reees like she's not the reason why they are
expecting this windfall of money, but I think she thinks
she is. Anyways, Aaron Rodgers did a horrible thing. Half
(18:44):
the country thinks that he did it at just a
miserably horrible life decision. And he went on with Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson and him talked about a lot of things,
and Fauci comes up and all this stuff, And there
has been yet again in the last twenty four hours,
(19:06):
the question why why should Aaron Rodgers get a platform
to say this? He does not deserve a platform to
say this. And I will say this, if you're rooting
against someone to have a platform, if you're rooting if
you're celebrating someone being deplatformed, which has happened over the
last four years, you're an American, this country allows us
(19:31):
to have a platform in any way, shape or form,
by law, by right, like we're born with the right
to have a platform. So I don't care if you
disagree with Aaron Rodgers or if you agree with them.
And by the way, a lot of the things he
gets so much shit about, a ton of people agree with.
(19:52):
I was telling Iosam the other day, you know, the
largest selling book nonfiction book in the last ten years
that is not the Bible is the Real Anthony Fauci
by RFK Junior, that is sided with a bibliography and
sources and all this stuff. And he has never once
been sued by Fauci. And the reason why you don't
know that it's the largest nonfiction selling book is because
(20:16):
the New York Times has never promoted it because it's
in their interests to not promote that book. But anyways,
a lot of people agree with what Aaron said, so
to say that he should be the platform is just misguided.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Look, I think there's a limit there in terms of
what you're allowed to say and what you're allowed to do.
Criminalizing Anthony Fauci, you know, is where I would draw
the line. There's a lot of things. I mean, look,
RFK Jr. From the people that I've talked to is
a loon. But whatever I do, but I genuinely agree
with you like I don't. I actually don't. I'm just
(20:53):
reached a point where I just don't give a shit.
Aaron Rodgers has told us who he is, right. He
challenges every sort of authority, hey, in every sort of
conventional wisdom. And that's fine. That's who he is. That
is not new news. And he's on with Tucker and
that's what Tucker has done as well. Good. It's to me,
it's a non story, like you didn't know what you
were getting. And yes he should be allowed, like the
(21:13):
deep platforming will stop it, stop it.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
So Charles Barkley refusing to apologize or Samuel is wrong,
Angel Reese and uh, people who are against Aaron Rodgers
having a platform.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Uh, I'm gonna do, Angel Reese, because there's nothing on
earth more annoying than entitlement, nothing on earth more annoying
than in toime. Angel Rees, You're.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Why are we doing this?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I do.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Because we can, so, Doug. We gave the half of
the country that hate Aaron Rodgers something right there, and
now we're gonna give him something more it's it's their
vice president, our vice president, Kamala Harris. We have to
know that sometimes people will open the door for you
and leave it open.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that
fucking door down.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Excuse my language, Kamala Harris, kick that fucking door down.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I kind of like that. I kind of liked it too,
Like the real real Kamala Harris, please stand up.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I don't know if you caught this one, but it's
a special bonus because we can. A brand new head
basketball coach had a press conference today and uttered this sentence, if.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You're going to learn that I'm not going to recruit
guys that are a holes. I have a one a
whole philosophy. I'm the a hole nobody else is. Yeah.
Was that is that the might not allowed to say
a hole?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I don't know. I don't know we were. It was
put in the in all of our cuts that we
can't use on the air. It was put in that section.
So I think, yeah, I don't think we could say
a whole. Good, Well, maybe you should say the actual
word here since it's the pot.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well I could steal from. I could steal from from
Lou Holtz uh. From during my time at at Notre Dame.
You can say ashes ashes in the Bible, the Bible,
it's not a kirk. But in the Bible it's not
not a kirk. Bird that did ash whole? What's the
(23:30):
difference than that ass is a donkey, right? A dunky
is a deck ass. And you can say, ass, why
can we play it for you? Because we can. Let's
get to our pick of the day.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, sir, the bet is to you. It's time for
the pick of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Our pick of the day comes from the Association right
where last night the world kind of got steered in
the right way, where the Knicks get to win, the
Nuggets get to win, and now it's Oklahoma City and Dallas.
Oklahoma City is a four point favorite. They were. They
split games one. In game two and Dallas's free throw
woes really ended their hopes of taking a three games
(24:13):
to one series lead. I like Dallas. I think Dallas
is better. I think Dallas makes free throws in Game
four they win. I understand that Game one looked very,
very different than the rest of the games. I like
Dallas this series. I think Derek Lively's ability to be
on the floor, even as a backup. And then Daniel Gafford.
(24:35):
I just think that rint protection, the physicality of Gafford.
I think it's too much for Oklahoma City. I like
the Mavericks plus four, Mavericks plus four. All right, that's
it for the end the Motus Podcast. Check out the
radio show every day three to five Eastern, two to
four Central Time, and noon to two Pacific on the
Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Here's in

Speaker 2 (00:12):
What I've dog Gottleep showing the bonus and Fox Sports
Radio welcome in. Do Do Do Do Do? Do? Do
Do do?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hasn't everybody given a press conference for new head coaching
job today? You did that yesterday? Right? Did you? Did you?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
All?
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Ju? How to do?
Speaker 6 (00:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Seriously, you're you hate everything, You're a harsh critic.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
How to do Oh? From what I've seen of the
press conference, and I've just seen and heard highlights, it
looks like he came off well. It looks like you
had some prepared things to say and then some things
that were off the cuff. But I thought, overall, I
give you high marks. Did you uh did you see
if any feedback otherwise?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I mean, you know it's those things are right, Like
nobody's gonna go like, man, you bombed there?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
True? Right, that's true?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah? So uh just got I just you know what, like,
here's the deal, this is actually perfect forum for it.
Eight years ago, eight years ago, I guess no, seven
years ago, I don't remember. I obviously I interviewed for
oaklhandm State and Mike Boyton, who is a great friend
of mine, sent me a really nice text. Yesterday. UH
(01:32):
ended up getting the head coaching job. And and before
I before I UH had a meeting with you know,
the athletic director at the time, Mike Holder, and three
other donors. Before I had that one, I sat there
and go, man, I have to show them that I'm
prepared for this job. So I had headshots of assistant coaches.
(01:58):
I had players that I wanted to have transfer in immediately.
I had notes from from parents, I had schedule stuff
I had, and I had it all in a little
almost like a brochure, you know. And I actually spent
like all that morning at Kinko's, you know, printing them
all out, getting them all and I'm you know, I'm
(02:18):
not good at that stuff, but it was. It was
a beautiful presentation where I stood up in front of
the group and here's what I did. But I when
I didn't get the job, I said to myself, like,
that's not me. That's not my strength. My strength is
just talking. You know who I am, what I'm about,
what my team's about. And that's what I did today.
So yeah, I thought it. I thought it was it
(02:39):
was a good representation of who I am and and
some of the stuff that I've been going through, you know,
so it was great.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
How well did the hard questions you got from us
yesterday on our on air mock press conference. How much
did that prepare you for today?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think a lot. I mean, it's just all. Here's
the thing. The one issue with doing it that way
is you do you start to forget which is real
and which is fake. And I'm not saying it was
fake yesterday with the questions, but I in my mind
because I had run through it with you guys, and
(03:21):
then run through it basically what I wanted to say
last night when I was driving up from Milwaukee and
then i'd gotten you know, I took a little time
in my office and you know, mentally tried to catch
my train of thought on one I wanted to run through.
At some point I was like, wait, did I say
this yet or did I just say it in practicing? Say, guys,
am I making sense? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, yeah, I've done interviews, You've done a bunch of things,
and you wanted to you didn't know if you'd already
said something. Sure, I will say this about the mock
press conference yesterday, and I implore any of our listeners
to find it on our podcast on the iHeart radio app.
High marks from management. Our bosses liked the mock press conference,
(04:02):
which was a damn buyer idea by the way, So
if you didn't enjoy it, our bosses did.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Hm good. I did enjoy it. I thought it was great,
no doubt, no doubt at all. So my I mean,
it's crazy how this how this stuff works? Right? Like
you think the text messages which they were over you
know eleven hundred yesterday would stop and I'm looking at
my phone now and where are we at here?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I don't know about text messages, but that seventeen the
tweet from Rick Patino that that must have felt good?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
How cool was that? How cool was that? Like out
of nowhere? That was amazing At Gottlieb Show, will kill
it at Green Bay. His dad was a terrific coach,
and Doug really knows the game. Now go get strong
at IL. Thank you, Let's go do it. Oh yeah,
let's go dude. How great is that?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It would have only been better if he would have
been like some advice for Doug ted Benny is not
walking through that door, the guy that led Green Bay
and scoring in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's fine. Larry Bird's not walking through that door. Jeff
nor God is not walking through that door. Tony Bennett
is not walking through that door. Mac Recky is walking
through that door. No, that would be amazing. Maybe he
heard the fact that I said he's the greatest modern
day coach ever because he was ahead of tanking, ahead
(05:31):
of use to three point shot, ahead of advanced analytics,
and ahead of conditioning as well. Like he's literally he's
that guy. My dad's favorite story was that when he
was the head coach of Jacksonville, he played in the
NITT Final four, back when people cared about the nit
in Madison's Gregg Garden and the point god for UMass
in the third place game was jack that Jacksonville played
(05:53):
against was none other than Rick Patino.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show Weekeday. He said, three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Let's get to what the Fox says, and now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What does the Fox say?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Do uh?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Every day at this time with the Doug Gottlieb Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. We play for your portion
of previous show on Fox Sports Radio or Fox Sports One.
This is me on with Dan Patrick earlier today.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
If you have nil, if you'd like to, you'd like
to donate to our collective help. You can start in
the first game if you have eligibility. Matter of fact,
you can coach and start.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You can play.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Pay you if I pay you one hundred thousand dollars. Yes,
I get to start the first game of your college
coaching career.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Sure, do you have eligibility? Absolutely? Doney?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Why not? Now not just start?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I need to go Brunson on you.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
You can play the whole game.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes, you have big a little I'm gonna try.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to play.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I mean, listen, Dan, I'm serious. If you really give
like it ain't gonna matter. You know, we'll play a
zone I hate zone. We'll play his zone. We'll put
four dudes around you. Be fine, stay in the corner, Dan,
We'll find you.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I mean that. That's an extra accurate portrayal. Right, it's
the old pay for play, and at some point Dan
will get to pay for his own play. Uh, Of
course that's tongue planted firmly in cheek. But it's been really,
really fun to have these conversations about this job at
at at green Bay. After I got off the air. Apparently,
here's Dan and Paul Papps having this exchange.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Stay with me on my theory here, and it's Apple's Oranges.
Colorado hires Deon sanders They see a lot of upside
from a exposure standpoint, and it worked out. Now, this
is not that, But I wonder if Dion sanders Hire
will open the door for war guys like Doug or
or other former athletes.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
What it already has. Ye, you got a couple of
guys as the historically black colleges and universities. Eddie George
got a job. There is there another former athlete who
got a head coaching job there? Marvin looking now, okay,
I thought there might have been one other. Look, there's
only one. Dion and Doug got them national publicity right
(08:19):
there that they would never get. No one would care
who Wisconsin green Bay's coach is going to be. But
Doug going there, we know him has a reputation with
college basketball, covers college basketball. Now you're coaching college basketball.
So you went from being an expert as we all
are and when we turn on the microphone to now
you have to show that you're an expert. It's one
(08:42):
thing to talk it, it's another thing to actually do it.
Now people are going to watch and go, Okay, let's
see what you know.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Look, it's totally fair. That's totally fair. I mean, that's
the big And that's one of my messages today, guys.
And I don't know if you thought it made sense.
Was There's nothing I can really say about knowing I
can coach that's going to prove anything to you. Nothing,
nothing I can say that's going to prove anything to you.
(09:09):
So Dan Dan gets it. Did Dion open doors? No,
but he did change so many people's perspective on the
idea that college coaching is not always just about coaching.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now, for Dion, he's got to come through this year
with a better product, with more wins, not just the attention.
And I think that's gonna be the challenge to me
as well, No question. Here's Rachel Nichols talking about Nikola Jokic.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Wolves playing great defense. They still are just an excellent
defensive team. They really didn't do a lot wrong. It
was just that man Denver did everything right. And I
know that Mike Conley wasn't there. I just don't think
it would have made the difference. I think Nikola Jokic
was exceptional. He was eight of nine when Rudy Gobert
(09:57):
was guarding him. He the spin oooves, the shaken big,
the three pointer. I mean that last three he hit
the step back with over Rudy's outstretched hand. That was
a perfect shot. Yeah, I mean the arc on that
shot was insane, the way it went up and down.
I mean, he had teammates, you know who pretended they
were fainting on the bench. It was incredible. That was
a display. That is why I voted for him for
(10:18):
MVP again. I understand that you're a shape backer, I
get it, But to me, this showed why Jokic deserves
the MVP. He's won three and four years. He is
the best player in the game right now, period the end.
And I don't think anyone was beating him last night.
And I still am going to pick them to win
the title again this year because I just I just
(10:40):
don't see it. I don't see anyone completely beating them
in a seven game series.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it's like it's competitive greatness. Can you be great
when greatness is called upon? And he absolutely, absolutely positively was.
I Look, I strongly disagree with with Skip because I
love Shay and Cha's probably a better pure offensive score
but doesn't make guys better the way that Jokic does.
(11:05):
But when Yoki goes into his bag and he starts shaking, baking,
it's it's fun. Yeah, I'm I'm with Rachel on this one.
It was fun to watch. But the bigger thing is
that's a guy who took the challenge and has has
more than shown up like he's the best player in
the league. I would I would say that, you know,
it's hard because it never feels like he's healthy late
(11:27):
in the year. You know, I still think Lucas in
that discussion. Of course, we'll see what happens when they
when they match up with the Celtics essentially in the finals.
But I'm with Rachel on that one. That's what the
Fox said say.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekday. He's at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Let's find out
who or what is annoying Jason Stewart, and now it's
your annoying. Everything annoys you, including me, what annoys you
(12:12):
most today?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Stephen A. Smith and Charles Barkley are the two leading
voices in our industry. People listen to them and I
think that's why this is important, Like they actually are influential,
so what they say matters. Charles Barkley a week ago
said that the Nuggets are going to get swept and
(12:33):
he's been very defensive about it ever since, the opposite
of contrite. Instead of saying, you know what, I was
wrong and I was damn right insulting to tell the
defending champs that they were going to get swept out
of the series by a team that's never been this far,
but no, he's gone the opposite way.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And this is what he said that really was interesting.
Did he say it that because you know, I hate
when coaches try to act like dude, we get paid
to give an opinion. If you watch those first two games,
you didn't think Dema was going to win the act
like we just pulled it out our ass or something
just made it up. When you watched those first two games,
feel like Man, the Minnesota Wolves look better than the
(13:16):
den of Nuggets. Now Denver's playing great, and he wanted
to act like he played a tape man, I don't care.
You know, I've always liked Mike Malone. I really liked
his dad. But he annoys me because he think like, hey, hey,
he won a championship. He ain't the greatest thing since
lights bread. But they act like guys. First of all.
He I think Steven A and Mike, Willbud all of
(13:37):
us was out apparently on his tape, but we only
can go.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
By what we saw.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Okay, there's a fatal flawed to your explanation, Chuck. You
didn't say that they were going to have a hard
time winning the series. You didn't say that they're probably
not going to win the series. Now you said they're
going to get swept. And you know why you said that,
because that's the most interesting thing say, right, That's what
the problem with our industry is. You're not going to
(14:05):
give an honest evaluation because it's not interesting. You're going
to say something extreme. And when you say something extreme,
then your apology better be as extreme because you're insulting
a fan base and players and coaches. When you say
you're going to get swept, like Colin Cowherd at Thanksgiving
(14:25):
said that Jordan Love cannot play that the packers need
to find their replacement going on the next Monday, and
saying I was wrong about that. That's not enough. There
should be a more punitive measure in place for people
that take these strong stances and are dead wrong, because
you're insulting people's professionalism.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I just think it's so hard for people to just
go I was wrong. And the crazy thing about Charles
Barkley and look, one of the things I think you've
tapped in with Charles Barkley is that we've always known
is that he can get away with things that no
one else can get away with. Right. That's the beauty
to Barkley, Right, he can literally he could literally say
(15:10):
fuck fuck, fuckety fuck and be fine because he's Charles Barkley, Like, ah,
that was just that's his check being chuck. But the
interesting part that you've honed in on is Charles Barkley
supposed he's against this kind of hot take, like I'm
against hot takes. That's a hot take, isn't it, right?
A hot take? It may not have been that hot
(15:30):
a take. At the time, it was just wrong, and
it's okay to say is wrong. Now what he's saying
now actually makes a lot of sense. Hey, based on
what we've seen, Yeah, they were gonna get swept. But again,
that's not that you didn't give that context when you
made those statements. I agree with you. It is annoying.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So Angel Reese has been in this segment many times recently,
so as the entire league last night is celebrating the
Caitlin Clark's first game. Then I guess there was an
exciting doubleheader with the Las Vegas whatever's beat the whatever team,
whatever city. Angel Reese was put in on her Instagram
(16:12):
a picture of her on a commercial flight and her
comment is just praying that this is the last commercial
one of the last commercial flights the Chicago Sky has
to fly. I think that there's like a there's a
disconnect here and that I think Angel Reese is probably
(16:33):
talking to like minded people, people who actually think WNBA
players deserve charter flights and that it's that it's acceptable
under their revenue generation to do it. She's talking to
other players, she's talking to people who agree with her,
But to the rest of us, the ninety nine percent
(16:53):
of us. It looks disconnected and thoughtless and completely ungrateful.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, praying this is our last commercial flight. I mean,
I just you know, you know, I think the thing
that people this, this was my belief on the commercial
flight versus charter flights, Like you can fly charter that's cool, right,
but it should be special. It should be a special
and oh yeah, by the way, don't broadcast it on
(17:24):
social media. I think you're actually way better off celebrating
the fact that you're flying on commercial. Why because that's
what all your fans fly on, is fucking commercial, right,
So you end up turning people off, the very same people.
I understand social media wants you to be treated like
NBA players, but the real world like who you're The
(17:45):
Kaitlin Clark fans are Midwestern fans that believe that Caitlin
Clark is just a hard working girl next door, respectful
of her elders, you know, all that checking all the boxes,
and Caitlyn has handled all of this stuff, even the
video of her on the charter flight, like she's not
up wilding out, she's just hanging out, sitting in her
chair and just yeah, you strike it. Maybe not as ungrateful,
(18:09):
but as entitled. And that's something that really doesn't rub
people the right way, especially when you haven't really done
anything to earn that entitlement.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, I mean the revenue or the expected revenue generated
by the WNBA to cover the twenty five million dollars
a year for charters whatever, that's not going to be.
Angel reees like she's not the reason why they are
expecting this windfall of money, but I think she thinks
she is. Anyways, Aaron Rodgers did a horrible thing. Half
(18:44):
the country thinks that he did it at just a
miserably horrible life decision. And he went on with Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson and him talked about a lot of things,
and Fauci comes up and all this stuff, And there
has been yet again in the last twenty four hours,
(19:06):
the question why why should Aaron Rodgers get a platform
to say this? He does not deserve a platform to
say this. And I will say this, if you're rooting
against someone to have a platform, if you're rooting if
you're celebrating someone being deplatformed, which has happened over the
last four years, you're an American, this country allows us
(19:31):
to have a platform in any way, shape or form,
by law, by right, like we're born with the right
to have a platform. So I don't care if you
disagree with Aaron Rodgers or if you agree with them.
And by the way, a lot of the things he
gets so much shit about, a ton of people agree with.
(19:52):
I was telling Iosam the other day, you know, the
largest selling book nonfiction book in the last ten years
that is not the Bible is the Real Anthony Fauci
by RFK Junior, that is sided with a bibliography and
sources and all this stuff. And he has never once
been sued by Fauci. And the reason why you don't
know that it's the largest nonfiction selling book is because
(20:16):
the New York Times has never promoted it because it's
in their interests to not promote that book. But anyways,
a lot of people agree with what Aaron said, so
to say that he should be the platform is just misguided.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Look, I think there's a limit there in terms of
what you're allowed to say and what you're allowed to do.
Criminalizing Anthony Fauci, you know, is where I would draw
the line. There's a lot of things. I mean, look,
RFK Jr. From the people that I've talked to is
a loon. But whatever I do, but I genuinely agree
with you like I don't. I actually don't. I'm just
(20:53):
reached a point where I just don't give a shit.
Aaron Rodgers has told us who he is, right. He
challenges every sort of authority, hey, in every sort of
conventional wisdom. And that's fine. That's who he is. That
is not new news. And he's on with Tucker and
that's what Tucker has done as well. Good. It's to me,
it's a non story, like you didn't know what you
were getting. And yes he should be allowed, like the
(21:13):
deep platforming will stop it, stop it.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
So Charles Barkley refusing to apologize or Samuel is wrong,
Angel Reese and uh, people who are against Aaron Rodgers
having a platform.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Uh, I'm gonna do, Angel Reese, because there's nothing on
earth more annoying than entitlement, nothing on earth more annoying
than in toime. Angel Rees, You're.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Why are we doing this?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I do.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Because we can, so, Doug. We gave the half of
the country that hate Aaron Rodgers something right there, and
now we're gonna give him something more it's it's their
vice president, our vice president, Kamala Harris. We have to
know that sometimes people will open the door for you
and leave it open.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that
fucking door down.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Excuse my language, Kamala Harris, kick that fucking door down.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I kind of like that. I kind of liked it too,
Like the real real Kamala Harris, please stand up.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I don't know if you caught this one, but it's
a special bonus because we can. A brand new head
basketball coach had a press conference today and uttered this sentence, if.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You're going to learn that I'm not going to recruit
guys that are a holes. I have a one a
whole philosophy. I'm the a hole nobody else is. Yeah.
Was that is that the might not allowed to say
a hole?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I don't know. I don't know we were. It was
put in the in all of our cuts that we
can't use on the air. It was put in that section.
So I think, yeah, I don't think we could say
a whole. Good, Well, maybe you should say the actual
word here since it's the pot.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well I could steal from. I could steal from from
Lou Holtz uh. From during my time at at Notre Dame.
You can say ashes ashes in the Bible, the Bible,
it's not a kirk. But in the Bible it's not
not a kirk. Bird that did ash whole? What's the
(23:30):
difference than that ass is a donkey, right? A dunky
is a deck ass. And you can say, ass, why
can we play it for you? Because we can. Let's
get to our pick of the day.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, sir, the bet is to you. It's time for
the pick of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Our pick of the day comes from the Association right
where last night the world kind of got steered in
the right way, where the Knicks get to win, the
Nuggets get to win, and now it's Oklahoma City and Dallas.
Oklahoma City is a four point favorite. They were. They
split games one. In game two and Dallas's free throw
woes really ended their hopes of taking a three games
(24:13):
to one series lead. I like Dallas. I think Dallas
is better. I think Dallas makes free throws in Game
four they win. I understand that Game one looked very,
very different than the rest of the games. I like
Dallas this series. I think Derek Lively's ability to be
on the floor, even as a backup. And then Daniel Gafford.
(24:35):
I just think that rint protection, the physicality of Gafford.
I think it's too much for Oklahoma City. I like
the Mavericks plus four, Mavericks plus four. All right, that's
it for the end the Motus Podcast. Check out the
radio show every day three to five Eastern, two to
