at the back end of this hour, preview that series
and recap the Dodgers incredible road trip to Colorado and
(01:39):
Kansas City, and then he will have off day Dodger
Talk at seven pm tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Kevin Millar joined us, we are going to talk to Dave.
Like Matt said, we've talked about the Bezos wedding and
the seagull issues in the UK. We do have some
stories that are a little bit closer to home with
people we know. This one about our friend ed ogeron
the Old Coach. I met him way back in nineteen
(02:06):
ninety eight when he was hired to be USC's defensive
line coach by Paul Hackett, and he was a carryover
on the Pete Carroll staff and then became mos famoso
from there. The Louisiana Supreme Court, which is actually convenes
at a Raisin Caynes, has ordered our old friend coach
(02:29):
O the opportunity to pay his wife eight million dollars
in a dispute that he had with her over his
buyout at LSU. He filed for divorce six weeks after
he signed the extension, but the seventeen million was not
approved by the Board of Governors until the proceedings had begun.
(02:55):
So in twoenty twenty four, a lower court that really
appreciates college football in Louisiana and his style, ruled in
favor of Ed. But he has had a reversal of
fortune either way. Ed Ogeron seems to be living his
best life. He looks pretty skinny, looks pretty swollen, going
(03:21):
around speaking French to people in to Bayou, and he
was seen shirtless at a former staffer's New Orleans wedding
over the weekend. The former Tiger staffer invited Ed to
the wedding. Ed is sixty three years old, ripped off
his shirt and maybe some of the rest of his
clothes and looked pretty good at the wedding. Here he
(03:42):
is a some sound from the wedding.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
And he's taking out of his clothes.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I don't think he took off his shoulders or his chest,
or his pants or his shoes, but he did take
off his shirt. Uh So begin a.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Clip of him yelling at the guy for stopping him. Yes, yeah,
the role Tide guy.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And then the one before that was a clip of
him speaking French with some you know, buy you French
with one of those other frenchmen. Down there, the Troy
Landry types and just living his best life, probably not
going back to coaching anytime soon. Ed Orgeron, the South's
(04:37):
number one guest.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Now that the court order has reversed the lower courts,
maybe he is going to be going.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean hate, I mean you know, he's still got
his shoulders, pants, chest.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Shoes, shoes, shoes.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
And with all respect to our friend Ed Ogeron, who,
even when he was coaching at LSU, didn't forget his
relationship with the Petrosen money show, demanded during bye weeks
to come on and address the people of southern California. Uh,
it did look like Ed was cruising for a bruising
as far as not being the LSU head coach anymore
(05:19):
when he had his new girlfriend run plays with the
team a few times in a very Bill Belichick like
But either way, chest, shoulders, pants, shoot, shoulders, shoe.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I can't find that in other the lower half covered up.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, shoulders, chest, get your feet out, get your feet out,
get your stocking feet in other US he lawsuit news.
Not so much of a friend of the show at all.
Reggie Bush had to he had to pay his old
not as much as he hates Lloyd Lake, promise you
(06:05):
that you might hate me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You signed that deal, Reggie, Well look at what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Now Reggie Bush had to pay his old would be
agent or representative, Lloyd Lake one point four million dollars
in a defamation case that Lake sued poor Reggie, alleging
(06:32):
that Reggie violated a non disparagement agreement made in the
previous settlement. They made that settlement way back in twenty ten.
And Reggie has lived a life in court. He sued
many people, and he's been sued and it's all just
a shame. And he's also worn out as welcome on television,
(06:54):
which I'm also sad to say. But he was a
great change up back, one of the great, great most
electric backs in the history of the NCAA, along with
Lynn Dale White. Now Reggie when had happened he cost
himself one point four million from Lloyd Lake popping off
on a podcast and sent a tweet in twenty twenty
(07:18):
two about Lloyd Lake. This was a final attempt by
Reggie not to pay the one point four million in
the anti disparagement law that he broke. But he's got
to pay. And you know what else, he's got to pay.
He's got to pay Lloyd Lake's lawyer fees as well.
(07:39):
The moral of the story, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Those attorney fee's going to be steep. Lloyd Lake's got money.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Lloyd Lake hires only the best attorneys in the world.
Garret Goos's daughter would be with Lloyd Lake if she
wasn't prosecuting Jdi right now. Moral of the story, Matt is,
if you took big bread before the NI world and
you live on the edge like Reggie, don't double down
fifty times because of your inflated sense of self. You
(08:10):
may find yourself acquainted with way too many lawyers. And
Reggie is acquainted with way way too many lawyers. Once
the Kardashians are done with you, and they are, they
totally are, what do you have now just a legal
Wastelandran He never dated Karuci Tran. Karuci Tran was Chris
(08:34):
Brown's X after he dated Rihanna. So that's the ex
usc greatness law News.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You never dated idiot.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Could never have dated her. He only dates girls that
look exactly like Kim Kardashian. She does not. She's Asian.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Uh, she's like an Asian Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Ed lost and so did Reggie hard times from the
having success in southern California town.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Yes, it does seem Reggie's got one relations still out there,
and that's what our friends Travis and Matthew.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Travis Matthew, Yeah, he still work. I believe he still
is a branch brand ambassador for Travis Matthew.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That it was a big launch like a year ago,
still there.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Upon the website. I don't understand. It pops up at
my feet every day.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I just put Austin Reeves out there. Seems like he's,
you know, kind of riding the wave of popularity right now.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He seems like a real Travis Matthew the time of
out the way he wears his hair. My advice, God
help us all is stay out of the courts. Keep
the lawyers from fleecing you, unless it's sweet James, for
only he knows the ancient secrets to secure the money
you deserve from your insurance company. He's like an angel
of justice. I'm happy that Ed is happy, seemingly, and
(09:46):
I'm sad that Reggie is such an idiot and always
has been. I mean, this this stuff happened with Reggie
offered everything on a plat this stuff happened with Reggie
and this guy Lloyd Lake twenty years ago, and they're
still in court hashing it out, talking about what happened,
fighting over this, fighting over that. I mean, it's the
(10:08):
saddest thing in the world. Stupid billboard campaign to get
your Heisman trophy back. Now that you have it back,
you're back in court fighting with Lloyd Lake, and wait
till Michael Michaelson come for his piece. The further you
get from the field, the less people care about all
(10:29):
of your legal problems and what you did with your wife.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
He's fully out of the media now. Correct, Well, he's
brand ambassador for Travis Mathew. I mean, like he doesn't
like nobody's a football ANALYTBS Sports Network didn't come scoop
him up for their AAC schedule or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
He has run through the NFL Network and Fox right.
I guess he could still work at ESPEN. I don't,
but I think he created a bad reputation at those
other places. But you know what, Matt, A lot of
people have created bad reputations at sports places, have gotten
hired at other places that hasn't still around it hasn't
(11:08):
stopped a lot of people from being hired, and they
do a lot of the same stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
We're going to ride this out, guys, So we're gonna
weather this doing.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm gonna ride this horse till they geld it well,
And that gives you a little bit of an idea
of just how unsavory Reggie Bush was to have around
that he actually that he's actually been kind of blackballed
from working on TV and he didn't. I mean, he
only worked like maybe four full seasons.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Like when they said, how the hell did Tyron Matthew
slide in the draft? It's really hard to get suspended
from LSU, really hard. He turned his life around, he did.
Reggie has not turned his life from litigiousness around. He
lives in the courts, and he lost to Lloyd Lake again,
(11:51):
and ad lost to his ex wife.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, felt like that was coming. Well, you know, the
lower courts, Matt I know, I signed the contra Judge
Cletus and the lower court said that Ed could keep
his money.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Yes, Tim, Reggie's living at the Heisman House, guys, that's
where he's at.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, he's right under Barry Sanders farting all over him.
Every morning.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yes, he does still do those Nissan commercials for the
Heisman House. It's got a sweet Ultima with some spinners.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
By the way, how come it took a tent so
long for you guys to reference the real wedding of
the century, the Mormon wedding that everybody's been talking about
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Dude, get off it.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
The Wilson wedding in New York that Matt went.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
To Kate and keeps watching Zach and Lisa Wilson wedding. Well,
she didn't marry his mom, but he might as well have.
She's sleeping with her friends rumored to be Do you
think the friend that he that he was alleged to
have been with.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
The way you pursed your lips, I thought you were
gonna say porked, It's like, did you just get a
porked on the Petress and Money Show.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I was gonna say boinked. Sadly, I was gonna say boinked.
Had I stopped myself? Hey, was the chick that he
porked at the wedding or what was that porker?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
The guest of Lisa and Mike.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Did they invite Spider Ham Peter porker. Yeah, Kate's keeps
looking at the Kates keeps looking at the Wilson family.
Oh look, oh there they are in Central Park. Oh look,
there she is with with Mike. Mike's looking skinny. Look
at Mike.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, Mike got married like an Instagram chick. Right, what
was any dating like an Instagram? Yeah, some influencer, some chick.
She looks like a CGI chick. Right.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Well, we'll be right back. We're gonna delve deep into
the the Lebron checks. Lebron James wants to cripple the likers,
but he also wants him to have a good roster
for him.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
He's evaluating. They said, he's evaluating his options. I don't
know how that works. I feel like you just opted in.
I don't know what else can you evaluate? How they're
gonna pay you like weekly? And does the check start.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm gonna jump on your back, but I expect you
to run a marathon pretty fast. Okay, but I'm gonna
be on your back like Yoda. I'm gonna be training
you in like a like training you an empire strikes back.
To be on your back, you need to run fast.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Seems like that's gonna impede my efforts.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm gonna cripple you. I'm gonna cripple you, but I
still expect you to put together a great roster.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Don't feel synergy between those two statements, sir.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app using
Apple car Play or Android Auto road Trip all summer
with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
What's proving everybody? Welcome back? It is and I'm a
horse Monday and we are back galloping into another week
of great sports talk together Tomorrow three o'clock show, but
we'll be on all week until the holiday on Friday.
We hope you have a great end, safe holiday week.
(14:59):
The seventh second stop of the twelfth annual Petros and
Monday Summer Tours Friday, Yes, a week from Friday, July eleven,
from three to six at Septembers tap Room and Eatery
and Rancho Kook. We are bringing the Dodgers to the Ie.
Not just a rehab start. We're bringing the strength of
Dodger Radio Doyers AM five to seventy LA Sports. We've
(15:23):
got Dodger tickets to night getaways, MGM Resort in Vegas,
Lively pool parties there, posh cabanas, cocktails, see the march.
It couldn't be anything else. We're describing our show at
the September's tap Room and Eatery and Rancha cook. It's
gonna be awesome. Do you like skin products? Well, you
know it's gonna be hot out there the sunscreen, but
(15:43):
I think we're gonna be indoors. All right, it's time
for the top story of the day, Top story of
the day.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, the big thank you to Lebron James. NBA finals
are over and he gives us content because boys, there
are a lot to una. How do I know?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I had to calmb the desert before this story.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Everybody's been unpacking it for the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You guys found anything.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'm gonna go best case scenario because that's what we
like to do here. You know, we'd like to see
that Glasses half full of Hope is eternal private positive
sitting over here. When it comes to Lebron.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
James, that's for sure. And I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Say that he was trying to pressure the Lakers to
give him what he wanted, and their response was, Eh,
probably not, what do you mean probably not? Probably not.
Instead told Lucas it's gonna be your team moving forward.
Everything we do from here on out will be to
(16:42):
maximize the next decade of Luca's career, not the final
one or two or if he's really having a pipe
dream three of Lebron James. So why did he opt in?
Fifty three million guaranteed? That's why it's a lot of money.
One year, eight months of employment, fifty two point six
(17:04):
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
And this is guess what, guys, I'm gonna let you
carry me all the way home. It's right, take me
home tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
And this is the problem of considering our old friend
and Drakar Noir supporter Sham Sharania an insider. It's because
he has to peddle the agent bs his story that
broke the news.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
He's not just the Drekar that makes him flammable.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No the story that broke the news that Lebron was
opting in flammable guest. His final year has not just
a small quote from Rich Paul, but like a third
of the article is his agent's quote quote, Lebron wants
(17:50):
to compete for a championship. He knows the Lakers are
building for the future. He understands that. That's the middle
part of the article, right. It's like a pair of right.
But that's how you know.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
The source is the guy who's not quoted in the
first paragraph and the last paragraph, right, and then the
guy that you wrote it for is the guy that
you've quoted right in the middle.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Rich Paul could have just printed that here's a statement
from rich Paul.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I've got nothing. Yes, here's what Rich Paul told me
to say. He called Colin Coward right after he sent
this email to me.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He
understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning
it all. I thought, what about the ring culture not
he wasn't into ring culture. I thought that that's a
negative way to look at somebody's career. We are very
appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years
with Genie and Rob and consider the Lakers as a
critical part of his career. Well, it was eight years.
(18:42):
I would say, if you're working at a joint for
eight years, it is a critical part of your career.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
We consider this to be critical.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Now, thank you for considering that to be critical. One
almost a half of his career was here.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Do you think he'll let us build him a statue
or maybe put his number in the rafters? Do you
think he.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Might maybe maybe this helps spell No, we understand the
difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. We
do want to evaluate what's best for Lebron at this
stage in his life and career. Well, then don't opt in.
The evaluation is done that there is no evaluating. You
have chosen to accept a contract that ties him to
(19:21):
the Lakers until the conclusion of the twenty five to
twenty six season. That there's there's no more evaluating.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I know that, Dave Roberts, says the vintner, as we
were discussing him earlier with Kevin Malar. Indeed, but it
does seem like this is this is this is like saying, Okay,
I I.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Will cripple you financially, cripple you.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But got my eye on you. You might not be
doing that good of a job financially while I cripple you.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Here, it's really like and here's the final sentence, which
is even more of just a true pull my pants
down and shake my stuff in your face.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Just a sour wine to drink here in the summer mass.
So this is Megan Markle's rose.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
He wants to make every season he has left count
and the Lakers. Here's this, These five words are what
really upset me.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
This is vintage Lebron, and.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
The Lakers understand that. Lakers understand what. Lakers understand that. Hey, Lebron,
we understand that you want to make every season you
have left count. Are supportive and want what's best for him.
That's the end. He wants to make every season he
has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive
(20:44):
and want what's best for him. Here's a newsflash. They
don't want what's best for him. They want what's best
for the Lakers, specifically, the guy that just handed over
six point six billion to increase his stake the seventy
five percent. He wants what's best for the Lakers. Now,
maybe that quote adds some sizzle for Shams and helps
(21:08):
them get some clicks so he can buy the really
big bottle of drakar and not the little one that
doesn't have the spray, but it just pours into your
hands and you gotta splash it on your neck.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
You know, he got the big bottle.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
He got the story because he's a mouthpiece for Lebron.
The story leans Lebron. It does not lean Lakers. It
is not a straight, credible journalist down the middle piece,
but it is Lebron friendly.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
No, it's Lebron putting the Lakers on notice through Sham
Sharoom and Rich Paul.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And it's got all of his uh, it's got Oh,
he's only fifty games away from breaking Robert Parrish's record
for most regular season games played. Don't care. He spells
out his credentials, his lifetime averages. This is my favorite.
This was an actual stat that was included in an
article on what's supposed to be an independent sports journalistic site.
(22:00):
Has averaged twenty five points, seven rebounds, and seven assists
from December thirtieth until the end of the season, only
matched by Nikola jokicch and Luka Doncic. So if I
just kind of make this frame not the beginning of
the season to the end, but I'm gonna take it
from December thirty until the end of the season and
(22:20):
only three people have these numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
We don't agree on everything, the three of us sitting
here in this conversation, we really don't, specifically the acting
prowess of Andy Garcia. That being said, Lebron is insufferable.
Lebron in La has been beyond insufferable, totally transparently phony
(22:46):
and completely self serving. And if that's the hell we
have to die on as a show, if that's what
makes us negative and old and bitter, that is fine
with me because I have a visceral physical reaction to
all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was that a tom Cruise vehicle where he had to
keep dying over and over again? That's who we are.
We are Tom Crue. We will continue to die over
and over and over again in order to solve this riddle.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It's not the twenty eight days later with all that
Irish junk.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
No. On top of that, rich Paul, let it be
known that Lebron is not taking a discount if he
wants to keep playing.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I got my eye on you, but I'm gonna cripple
you financially.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
He's making fifty three Hell, look.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
You know what I'm gonna make you buy me this
five million dollar burking bag but you know what, what
if it makes a strain on your bank account, you're
in big trouble. Why not hang around with you next year.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I've never understood this. The team has all the leg
and this is this is going somewhere. The team has
all the leverage. In this situation. He is making fifty
three million dollars a year. There is not a single
scenario that you could possibly suggest somehow, some way he
is being short changed.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, they want what's best for him, don't you understand.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
If he's not, he couldn't possibly be driving more than
fifty three million dollars in revenue for the Lakers. They
signed a twenty year television contract with Spectrum that can't
change for another eight or nine years. The NBA already said, now, look,
maybe he does more for the NBA, and he helped
contribute to their eleven year, seventy six billion dollar national
(24:22):
television deal, but that deal is locked in, so he
can't add any money to that. So giving Lebron a
raise to sixty million dollars, which is what he would
be available to get for next year by the Lakers,
is not going to add a single cent to the
bottom line. There is only one way that Lebron can
add money in value to your organization, and that is
(24:45):
by what extending the playoffs, having more home playoff games
where you charge an exorbitant premium for tickets in turking Now,
so in the seven years eight years he's been here,
the one time they made a run to the finals,
there were no home games. There was no added value there.
(25:08):
And outside of that, the only added value that Lebron
James was given you is one other run to the
Western Conference finals. Otherwise it has been one playoff series,
so there has been talked added value.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
When we talked to Genie, she said she wished she
could pay him more. I bet she doesn't feel that
way now that it's not her money.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And guess what she is not? Mark Walter, Yeah, and
there are you.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Sure, Matt? I heard a promo on the other station
that said Genie still up.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There is the rub. So if he's going to dig
his feet and if Rich Paul, his agent is going
to try to paint him as some sort of martyr
and apply pressure that he deserves better roster construction right now,
and you need to trade future assets for current players. Uh,
and they're too old to grow with Luca and too
expensive to keep around. There is not another team out
there that can offer Lebron James fifty three million dollars.
(25:59):
There's not another team out there that can offer him
half of that that's got a shot at a championship.
So why would you ever bid against yourself? And if
I had to break it down to one thing, And
I have not heard this in any of the news
cycle since this was made public yesterday, considering the pissy
tone of Rich Paul's quote to Shams about the dueling
(26:21):
timelines of Luca and Lebron, and maybe they're not on
the same page and Lebron wants to win a championship
and the Lakers want to do what's best for him.
Is this is what I think. They did not want
to opt in. They wanted to opt out. They wanted
more years, probably like three years, one hundred and eighty
million bucks. And I'm guessing the Lakers said absolutely not,
(26:45):
absolutely not. If you want more years, you're taking a
discount so we can get under the apron so we
can have the freaking full taxpayer and go out and
get a freaking center for fourteen million bucks instead of
you opting in. And now we have to either let
go of Dorian Finnish or we can only pay a
guy six million bucks. So yeah, you want to opt
out and we'll give you more. You're taking less money.
(27:07):
And they got pissed because they said, no, we're not.
Lebron is not taking a cent less than the max.
It's the pissy statement exactly. And they wanted I bet
they wanted three years product share, one hundred and eighty
million bucks with a player option for his year fort
is age forty three season. You gotta be a war
of streets, and Mark Walter was like, no, absolutely not.
(27:34):
He wants it all. He expects everybody else to pick
up the tab. No other team's gonna trade for him.
That's a viable championship contender because they'd have to give it.
If you're a championship team, you're above the apron, which
means you have to match salaries. You have to trade
fifty three million for fifty three million in order to
acquire Lebron James, and that means gutting all your young assets.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Lebron saying he wants to be on a championship team,
but he costs fifty three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
They don't work.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
His existence makes it so no team he's on can
be a championship.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Teme, I don't know why I was discussed so much
in our sport. And why is the all be all
of everything.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
A all be all? Here's the all be all. You
know what, Lebron, you want to opt out and get
three years one hundred and eighty million, Well, here's the
all be all. We can't make that financially work with
Luca getting two hundred and twenty five million bucks on
August third.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
So we'll see y'all. So either our Phil Jackson, Yeah,
Phil Jackson said take your posse and get out of town.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
And that's the thing. If Rich Paul wants to be
a real a hole and say, well then you know
you do this for Lebron, Orright'm gonna bring my my
clutch sports clients to you. Okay, Well you know we'll
just then publicly let it be known that the ownership
group that gave Sho hail Tani seven hundred million bucks
and Yamamoto three hundred twenty five million bucks and Mookie
Betts three hundred and fifty million dollars is willing to
(28:57):
give your clients more money than any other and they
can live here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But you can't, Mom and Pop. Mark Wolts, you cannot.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
But because you're rich, Paul and your most important client
is Lebron James, he is sabotaging their happiness and their career.
And they're the type of team that would do that,
that could very comfortably puff their chest out and say
we've got more money than anybody else.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
They can be the alb all and that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Janie Buss and the Bus family couldn't. They were not
able to do that. So if he wants to start
going scorched earth on how upset he is with their
offseason and what it would look like and what it
should look like, and how they're wasting the final couple
years of his career, I'm sure Mark Walter and his
Guggenheim group will look at him and say, where you
want to go? You just do you want? You want
(29:44):
to go to the Knicks. We'll take Karl Anthony Towns
and all of the baggage that goes with him back.
Because you both make the exact same amount of money
and enjoy yourself. The lunkheaded New Yorkers will celebrate your arrival.
You can puff your chest out and be Lebron James again.
I'm sure Jalen Brunson will be static upon his arrival
as well, and we'll go ahead. And it truly is like,
(30:04):
this is the great thing. As I wrap it up,
it's one of the great things about having an owner
like Mark Walter in finance, an economist. They don't give
a damn. They don't care about politics, they don't care
about emotions. All they care about is what is the
most efficient way we can get from point A to
point B, and how can I extract the most value
out of it? Great, Otani, here's seven hundred million dollars
because you're worth it, and we've crunched the numbers. And
(30:25):
that's that's ya. I'mamoto. Great, here's three hundred and twenty
five million bucks. We've crunched the numbers. This is what
we're gonna do. And there's the finish line. And Lebron
James has never had to stare that thing in the
face ever. Well, actually I shouldn't say that second time.
When pat Riley said, yeah, pound San, you're not bringing
your barber in seven friends on the freaking team Jet, Phil.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Jackson caught him a posse, pop off the top and
rock with my posse.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
And that's the a all be all out of town
of this take that I.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Don't know why I've discussed so much in our sport.
I don't know either, And why is the all be all?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You know this is going to upset Lebron And.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
You're the one that said that you were the goat
after blocking a shot. You didn't even make the.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Shot signature signature finals moment. One of the greatest plays
in the history of the front was it.
Speaker 3 (31:12):

Speaker 3 (32:03):
David Vasse, The Dodgers play with an inside look at
the Dodgers. This is the Vass Report with David Vasse.
A triumphant return from the road trip Colorado and Kansas City.
The Dodgers sitting pretty David Vass from Spectrum Sports Net,
(32:24):
LA MLB Network and right here on AM five seventy
with us now. He did a lot of TV over
the weekend. Dave, it feels a little bit like the
Dodgers are set to run away with this thing right
now with a White Sox coming to town. I mean,
come on, troubles are over.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
Yeah right, Petros, I mean look at it right now.
The Dodgers are seven games ahead of the Giants, seven
and a half games ahead of the Padres. The Padres
are taking on the Diamondbacks, while the Giants are taking
on the Phillies, while the Dodgers will be playing the
White Sox. There's a real possibility that will have a
double digit lead in the division by the end of
(33:03):
this home stand, and a lot of that goes back
to that twenty nine game stretch where they faced playoff
teams and came out ahead seventeen and twelve, and at
the end of the last home stand, you know, took
care of business against the Giants and Padres crushed their dreams.
And the Giants have a losing record since acquiring Rafael Devers.
So a lot of things are going the Dodgers' way.
(33:26):
And that's without the MVPs at the top of the
lineup even hitting at the same time, and even hitting
their best. I mean, Mookie Betts were still waiting for him.
Otawi's been streaky. Freddy just came out of a big slump.
So I mean, that's that's problematic for the rest of
the league.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
You have Max Munci in the final vote to start
the All Star Game along with Manny Machado. Dave, is
it as simple as the glasses? I know, you talk
to him like, is that is that it? The guy
just got the right glasses and now he's seeing the
ball and he's beating the hell.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
I mean, is Manny Machado going to win the fan vote?
He's hated by every other fan base outside of San Diego.
I mean, I don't feel like they're doing my guy
Ocho very fairly with a fan vote. So I mean,
I think Max Munsey's in a great spot here now.
The hate for the Dodgers, the resentment for the Dodgers,
I mean, it's great, but they are a global brand.
(34:21):
But I mean for Max Munsey, it is the glasses.
I mean, you have to see the ball. He had
a stigmatism and he couldn't see I mean, he couldn't
see the spin. And that's a big part of his
game because he's a guy that told me his thing
is pitch recognition. And if you watch him, he stands
deep in the batter's box. He's all about not only
(34:43):
hitting home runs, but also taking his share of walk
and Dave Roberts said that it's unfair to call him
now a three true outcome player because he's taking his
singles and all that. So, I mean, he's since mid May,
he's become one of the best hitters in the National
League again, and that's the reason why he's in the
(35:03):
conversation for making the All Star team.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
And that's like storyline number eight for the Dodgers Number
one is Otani and the fact that he pitched multiple
innings and that he hit one hundred and two miles
an hour on one of those pitches. Dave, what can
you tell us about having seen it up close and
personal and what it meant to get two innings of
dominant pitching out of him.
Speaker 9 (35:23):
I can tell you the residual effect. Dave Roberts said
yesterday before the game that he came out of it
a little fatigued, and we saw that in that game
that he pitched, he didn't really make a difference offensively.
So I feel like this is going to be a
case by case basis for Otani and the Dodgers to
evaluate whether or not it makes sense for him to
(35:46):
be stretched out to five or six innings. He when
I asked him after the game whether or not he's
still adjusting, he said he is, and it had nothing
to do although he did acknowledge the fact that he's
very good at partmentalizing things, so he wasn't going to
conceive that the pitching affected the hitting.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
It was.
Speaker 9 (36:07):
He gave Seth Lugo a lot of credit for the
reason why he and the others didn't hit that day, Well.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
He was over eight what Saturday Sunday?
Speaker 9 (36:15):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and he wants to be in there
every day. He's the one that has told Dave Roberts, hey,
I want to lead off. I want to lead off.
I want to be in there. But I believe it's
going to be a conversation between Otani, doctor Ella Trosh
the Dodgers about where they go and how far they
(36:35):
go with this.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
You got an update on glass Now or smell.
Speaker 9 (36:38):
Villa, Yes, I have an update on both. Smell Villa
is expected to face hitters this week, which is huge.
He's pain free. In his last bullpen on Saturday, he
threw ninety four miles an hour and he threw thirty
four times, so he's on to the next step and
Glass Now is a lot closer. He was effective in
(37:01):
his latest rehab start over the weekend. He was supposed
to go four innings but he only went two plus.
So he's going to have to have one more rehab
assignment to get stretched out, and there's a very good
chance that he returns before the All Star break.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Dave thoughts on, I don't know it being collectively bargained
or the Major League Baseball Players Association getting something put
in there that position players can no longer pitch in games.
I don't know if you saw that article. I can't
remember where I saw it, but it said that some
players are pissed that it's like adjusting stats and it's
a mockery of the game. Just kind of your thoughts,
(37:36):
since it's been the Dodgers that have done quite a
bit of it.
Speaker 9 (37:40):
Yeah, and you know, it's ironic that Miguel Rojas pitched
the other day and he told me he got himself right.
When Logan Porter, the Giants backup catcher, was pitching and
throwing thirty miles an hour, his hitting coach Aaron Bates,
the Dodgers hitting coach, Aaron Bates, said that he saw
something in Rojas that he had been searching for all
(38:02):
season long, and somehow, some way in that weird kind
of at that Rojas got himself right offensively. But hey,
I think we're all for it. It's become a little
bit too ridiculous where teams have found loopholes in the rules.
The league was trying to get rid of position players
trying to pitch, So I feel like nobody really wants
(38:25):
to see that.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Do they.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I don't think so. No, especially if you're hosting the
post game show and you want to get to it
and the game takes an extra twenty minutes.
Speaker 9 (38:32):
Right, Yeah, I just feel like, I mean, I feel like,
you guys are fans. Do you want to see Keith
k Hernandez come out and walk the bases away?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I want to see the Posso show.
Speaker 9 (38:45):
No, nobody want to see Paassos. So I feel like,
just bring a picture in, right, Just get a picture in,
get the game over with.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
It's the sour guy in there or the dryer guy.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Are you taking calls tonight about the deadline, Dave or
what are you going to do tonight?
Speaker 9 (39:00):
Well, I'm thinking about taking calls about your favorite Krushaw
memory or where he ranks in all time Dodger history,
because he is just three away from three thousand and
maybe the last picture we see in our lifetime that
achieves three thousand strikeouts, because not a lot of starters
(39:21):
are allowed to go deeper into games to achieve these strikeouts,
and a lot of these starters aren't staying healthy. I mean,
say what you will about Kershaw, knock on wood, He's
never had elbow surgery in eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
But he had the back back. He did back all right.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Dan sent him to Australia. They sent him to Australia
and then he came up with a bad bag.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
That's right. He went down under it and he never
came back. Dave, have a great week. Thank you for
coming on on your off night. But it's not an
off night because you have off night. Dodger Talk at
seven o'clock. Give Dave a call at eight six six,
nine eighty seven, two five seventy in an hour, Thanks.
Speaker 9 (39:57):
Dave, Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
David Vasse with the latest on the Dodgers. We've got
a whole nother hour.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I got my Steve Hartman on and started digging through
the which pitchers could possibly reach three thousand strikeouts? Like, oh,
what a great conversation that would be. You know, can
Chris Sale get there with Derret Cole. He's thirty four,
he's got twenty three hundred, you know, but he's an
injury risk. I mean, man, there's a lot of different directions.
How about Gossman, I mean.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Well, let's look at the games that they're gonna pitch
and start counting how many strikeouts we think they can
have good idea, go through the potential different individual matchups.
I'd like to see what he can do, you know what.
I believe that he can get there, he can get
I believe that we will win. We'll be back. We
got another hour of great sports talk on AMPI seventy

Tomorrow Off day today first pitch seven to ten pm
from the Galpa Motors Broadcast Booth on Tuesday Night, Dodgers
on dec At six, but David Vessel will be along
at the back end of this hour, preview that series
and recap the Dodgers incredible road trip to Colorado and
(01:39):
Kansas City, and then he will have off day Dodger
Talk at seven pm tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Kevin Millar joined us, we are going to talk to Dave.
Like Matt said, we've talked about the Bezos wedding and
the seagull issues in the UK. We do have some
stories that are a little bit closer to home with
people we know. This one about our friend ed ogeron
the Old Coach. I met him way back in nineteen
(02:06):
ninety eight when he was hired to be USC's defensive
line coach by Paul Hackett, and he was a carryover
on the Pete Carroll staff and then became mos famoso
from there. The Louisiana Supreme Court, which is actually convenes
at a Raisin Caynes, has ordered our old friend coach
(02:29):
O the opportunity to pay his wife eight million dollars
in a dispute that he had with her over his
buyout at LSU. He filed for divorce six weeks after
he signed the extension, but the seventeen million was not
approved by the Board of Governors until the proceedings had begun.
(02:55):
So in twoenty twenty four, a lower court that really
appreciates college football in Louisiana and his style, ruled in
favor of Ed. But he has had a reversal of
fortune either way. Ed Ogeron seems to be living his
best life. He looks pretty skinny, looks pretty swollen, going
(03:21):
around speaking French to people in to Bayou, and he
was seen shirtless at a former staffer's New Orleans wedding
over the weekend. The former Tiger staffer invited Ed to
the wedding. Ed is sixty three years old, ripped off
his shirt and maybe some of the rest of his
clothes and looked pretty good at the wedding. Here he
(03:42):
is a some sound from the wedding.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
And he's taking out of his clothes.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I don't think he took off his shoulders or his chest,
or his pants or his shoes, but he did take
off his shirt. Uh So begin a.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Clip of him yelling at the guy for stopping him. Yes, yeah,
the role Tide guy.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And then the one before that was a clip of
him speaking French with some you know, buy you French
with one of those other frenchmen. Down there, the Troy
Landry types and just living his best life, probably not
going back to coaching anytime soon. Ed Orgeron, the South's
(04:37):
number one guest.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Now that the court order has reversed the lower courts,
maybe he is going to be going.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean hate, I mean you know, he's still got
his shoulders, pants, chest.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Shoes, shoes, shoes.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
And with all respect to our friend Ed Ogeron, who,
even when he was coaching at LSU, didn't forget his
relationship with the Petrosen money show, demanded during bye weeks
to come on and address the people of southern California. Uh,
it did look like Ed was cruising for a bruising
as far as not being the LSU head coach anymore
(05:19):
when he had his new girlfriend run plays with the
team a few times in a very Bill Belichick like
But either way, chest, shoulders, pants, shoot, shoulders, shoe.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I can't find that in other the lower half covered up.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, shoulders, chest, get your feet out, get your feet out,
get your stocking feet in other US he lawsuit news.
Not so much of a friend of the show at all.
Reggie Bush had to he had to pay his old
not as much as he hates Lloyd Lake, promise you
(06:05):
that you might hate me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You signed that deal, Reggie, Well look at what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Now Reggie Bush had to pay his old would be
agent or representative, Lloyd Lake one point four million dollars
in a defamation case that Lake sued poor Reggie, alleging
(06:32):
that Reggie violated a non disparagement agreement made in the
previous settlement. They made that settlement way back in twenty ten.
And Reggie has lived a life in court. He sued
many people, and he's been sued and it's all just
a shame. And he's also worn out as welcome on television,
(06:54):
which I'm also sad to say. But he was a
great change up back, one of the great, great most
electric backs in the history of the NCAA, along with
Lynn Dale White. Now Reggie when had happened he cost
himself one point four million from Lloyd Lake popping off
on a podcast and sent a tweet in twenty twenty
(07:18):
two about Lloyd Lake. This was a final attempt by
Reggie not to pay the one point four million in
the anti disparagement law that he broke. But he's got
to pay. And you know what else, he's got to pay.
He's got to pay Lloyd Lake's lawyer fees as well.
(07:39):
The moral of the story, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Those attorney fee's going to be steep. Lloyd Lake's got money.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Lloyd Lake hires only the best attorneys in the world.
Garret Goos's daughter would be with Lloyd Lake if she
wasn't prosecuting Jdi right now. Moral of the story, Matt is,
if you took big bread before the NI world and
you live on the edge like Reggie, don't double down
fifty times because of your inflated sense of self. You
(08:10):
may find yourself acquainted with way too many lawyers. And
Reggie is acquainted with way way too many lawyers. Once
the Kardashians are done with you, and they are, they
totally are, what do you have now just a legal
Wastelandran He never dated Karuci Tran. Karuci Tran was Chris
(08:34):
Brown's X after he dated Rihanna. So that's the ex
usc greatness law News.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You never dated idiot.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Could never have dated her. He only dates girls that
look exactly like Kim Kardashian. She does not. She's Asian.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Uh, she's like an Asian Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Ed lost and so did Reggie hard times from the
having success in southern California town.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Yes, it does seem Reggie's got one relations still out there,
and that's what our friends Travis and Matthew.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Travis Matthew, Yeah, he still work. I believe he still
is a branch brand ambassador for Travis Matthew.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That it was a big launch like a year ago,
still there.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Upon the website. I don't understand. It pops up at
my feet every day.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I just put Austin Reeves out there. Seems like he's,
you know, kind of riding the wave of popularity right now.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He seems like a real Travis Matthew the time of
out the way he wears his hair. My advice, God
help us all is stay out of the courts. Keep
the lawyers from fleecing you, unless it's sweet James, for
only he knows the ancient secrets to secure the money
you deserve from your insurance company. He's like an angel
of justice. I'm happy that Ed is happy, seemingly, and
(09:46):
I'm sad that Reggie is such an idiot and always
has been. I mean, this this stuff happened with Reggie
offered everything on a plat this stuff happened with Reggie
and this guy Lloyd Lake twenty years ago, and they're
still in court hashing it out, talking about what happened,
fighting over this, fighting over that. I mean, it's the
(10:08):
saddest thing in the world. Stupid billboard campaign to get
your Heisman trophy back. Now that you have it back,
you're back in court fighting with Lloyd Lake, and wait
till Michael Michaelson come for his piece. The further you
get from the field, the less people care about all
(10:29):
of your legal problems and what you did with your wife.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
He's fully out of the media now. Correct, Well, he's
brand ambassador for Travis Mathew. I mean, like he doesn't
like nobody's a football ANALYTBS Sports Network didn't come scoop
him up for their AAC schedule or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
He has run through the NFL Network and Fox right.
I guess he could still work at ESPEN. I don't,
but I think he created a bad reputation at those
other places. But you know what, Matt, A lot of
people have created bad reputations at sports places, have gotten
hired at other places that hasn't still around it hasn't
(11:08):
stopped a lot of people from being hired, and they
do a lot of the same stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
We're going to ride this out, guys, So we're gonna
weather this doing.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm gonna ride this horse till they geld it well,
And that gives you a little bit of an idea
of just how unsavory Reggie Bush was to have around
that he actually that he's actually been kind of blackballed
from working on TV and he didn't. I mean, he
only worked like maybe four full seasons.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Like when they said, how the hell did Tyron Matthew
slide in the draft? It's really hard to get suspended
from LSU, really hard. He turned his life around, he did.
Reggie has not turned his life from litigiousness around. He
lives in the courts, and he lost to Lloyd Lake again,
(11:51):
and ad lost to his ex wife.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, felt like that was coming. Well, you know, the
lower courts, Matt I know, I signed the contra Judge
Cletus and the lower court said that Ed could keep
his money.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
Yes, Tim, Reggie's living at the Heisman House, guys, that's
where he's at.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, he's right under Barry Sanders farting all over him.
Every morning.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yes, he does still do those Nissan commercials for the
Heisman House. It's got a sweet Ultima with some spinners.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
By the way, how come it took a tent so
long for you guys to reference the real wedding of
the century, the Mormon wedding that everybody's been talking about
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Dude, get off it.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
The Wilson wedding in New York that Matt went.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
To Kate and keeps watching Zach and Lisa Wilson wedding. Well,
she didn't marry his mom, but he might as well have.
She's sleeping with her friends rumored to be Do you
think the friend that he that he was alleged to
have been with.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
The way you pursed your lips, I thought you were
gonna say porked, It's like, did you just get a
porked on the Petress and Money Show.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I was gonna say boinked. Sadly, I was gonna say boinked.
Had I stopped myself? Hey, was the chick that he
porked at the wedding or what was that porker?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
The guest of Lisa and Mike.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Did they invite Spider Ham Peter porker. Yeah, Kate's keeps
looking at the Kates keeps looking at the Wilson family.
Oh look, oh there they are in Central Park. Oh look,
there she is with with Mike. Mike's looking skinny. Look
at Mike.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, Mike got married like an Instagram chick. Right, what
was any dating like an Instagram? Yeah, some influencer, some chick.
She looks like a CGI chick. Right.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Well, we'll be right back. We're gonna delve deep into
the the Lebron checks. Lebron James wants to cripple the likers,
but he also wants him to have a good roster
for him.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
He's evaluating. They said, he's evaluating his options. I don't
know how that works. I feel like you just opted in.
I don't know what else can you evaluate? How they're
gonna pay you like weekly? And does the check start.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm gonna jump on your back, but I expect you
to run a marathon pretty fast. Okay, but I'm gonna
be on your back like Yoda. I'm gonna be training
you in like a like training you an empire strikes back.
To be on your back, you need to run fast.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Seems like that's gonna impede my efforts.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm gonna cripple you. I'm gonna cripple you, but I
still expect you to put together a great roster.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Don't feel synergy between those two statements, sir.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Make AM five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy
LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app using
Apple car Play or Android Auto road Trip all summer
with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
What's proving everybody? Welcome back? It is and I'm a
horse Monday and we are back galloping into another week
of great sports talk together Tomorrow three o'clock show, but
we'll be on all week until the holiday on Friday.
We hope you have a great end, safe holiday week.
(14:59):
The seventh second stop of the twelfth annual Petros and
Monday Summer Tours Friday, Yes, a week from Friday, July eleven,
from three to six at Septembers tap Room and Eatery
and Rancho Kook. We are bringing the Dodgers to the Ie.
Not just a rehab start. We're bringing the strength of
Dodger Radio Doyers AM five to seventy LA Sports. We've
(15:23):
got Dodger tickets to night getaways, MGM Resort in Vegas,
Lively pool parties there, posh cabanas, cocktails, see the march.
It couldn't be anything else. We're describing our show at
the September's tap Room and Eatery and Rancha cook. It's
gonna be awesome. Do you like skin products? Well, you
know it's gonna be hot out there the sunscreen, but
(15:43):
I think we're gonna be indoors. All right, it's time
for the top story of the day, Top story of
the day.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, the big thank you to Lebron James. NBA finals
are over and he gives us content because boys, there
are a lot to una. How do I know?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I had to calmb the desert before this story.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Everybody's been unpacking it for the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
You guys found anything.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'm gonna go best case scenario because that's what we
like to do here. You know, we'd like to see
that Glasses half full of Hope is eternal private positive
sitting over here. When it comes to Lebron.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
James, that's for sure. And I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Say that he was trying to pressure the Lakers to
give him what he wanted, and their response was, Eh,
probably not, what do you mean probably not? Probably not.
Instead told Lucas it's gonna be your team moving forward.
Everything we do from here on out will be to
(16:42):
maximize the next decade of Luca's career, not the final
one or two or if he's really having a pipe
dream three of Lebron James. So why did he opt in?
Fifty three million guaranteed? That's why it's a lot of money.
One year, eight months of employment, fifty two point six
(17:04):
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
And this is guess what, guys, I'm gonna let you
carry me all the way home. It's right, take me
home tonight.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
And this is the problem of considering our old friend
and Drakar Noir supporter Sham Sharania an insider. It's because
he has to peddle the agent bs his story that
broke the news.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
He's not just the Drekar that makes him flammable.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No the story that broke the news that Lebron was
opting in flammable guest. His final year has not just
a small quote from Rich Paul, but like a third
of the article is his agent's quote quote, Lebron wants
(17:50):
to compete for a championship. He knows the Lakers are
building for the future. He understands that. That's the middle
part of the article, right. It's like a pair of right.
But that's how you know.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
The source is the guy who's not quoted in the
first paragraph and the last paragraph, right, and then the
guy that you wrote it for is the guy that
you've quoted right in the middle.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Rich Paul could have just printed that here's a statement
from rich Paul.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I've got nothing. Yes, here's what Rich Paul told me
to say. He called Colin Coward right after he sent
this email to me.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He
understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning
it all. I thought, what about the ring culture not
he wasn't into ring culture. I thought that that's a
negative way to look at somebody's career. We are very
appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years
with Genie and Rob and consider the Lakers as a
critical part of his career. Well, it was eight years.
(18:42):
I would say, if you're working at a joint for
eight years, it is a critical part of your career.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
We consider this to be critical.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Now, thank you for considering that to be critical. One
almost a half of his career was here.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Do you think he'll let us build him a statue
or maybe put his number in the rafters? Do you
think he.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Might maybe maybe this helps spell No, we understand the
difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. We
do want to evaluate what's best for Lebron at this
stage in his life and career. Well, then don't opt in.
The evaluation is done that there is no evaluating. You
have chosen to accept a contract that ties him to
(19:21):
the Lakers until the conclusion of the twenty five to
twenty six season. That there's there's no more evaluating.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I know that, Dave Roberts, says the vintner, as we
were discussing him earlier with Kevin Malar. Indeed, but it
does seem like this is this is this is like saying, Okay,
I I.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Will cripple you financially, cripple you.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But got my eye on you. You might not be
doing that good of a job financially while I cripple you.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Here, it's really like and here's the final sentence, which
is even more of just a true pull my pants
down and shake my stuff in your face.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Just a sour wine to drink here in the summer mass.
So this is Megan Markle's rose.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
He wants to make every season he has left count
and the Lakers. Here's this, These five words are what
really upset me.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
This is vintage Lebron, and.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
The Lakers understand that. Lakers understand what. Lakers understand that. Hey, Lebron,
we understand that you want to make every season you
have left count. Are supportive and want what's best for him.
That's the end. He wants to make every season he
has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive
(20:44):
and want what's best for him. Here's a newsflash. They
don't want what's best for him. They want what's best
for the Lakers, specifically, the guy that just handed over
six point six billion to increase his stake the seventy
five percent. He wants what's best for the Lakers. Now,
maybe that quote adds some sizzle for Shams and helps
(21:08):
them get some clicks so he can buy the really
big bottle of drakar and not the little one that
doesn't have the spray, but it just pours into your
hands and you gotta splash it on your neck.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
You know, he got the big bottle.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
He got the story because he's a mouthpiece for Lebron.
The story leans Lebron. It does not lean Lakers. It
is not a straight, credible journalist down the middle piece,
but it is Lebron friendly.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
No, it's Lebron putting the Lakers on notice through Sham
Sharoom and Rich Paul.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And it's got all of his uh, it's got Oh,
he's only fifty games away from breaking Robert Parrish's record
for most regular season games played. Don't care. He spells
out his credentials, his lifetime averages. This is my favorite.
This was an actual stat that was included in an
article on what's supposed to be an independent sports journalistic site.
(22:00):
Has averaged twenty five points, seven rebounds, and seven assists
from December thirtieth until the end of the season, only
matched by Nikola jokicch and Luka Doncic. So if I
just kind of make this frame not the beginning of
the season to the end, but I'm gonna take it
from December thirty until the end of the season and
(22:20):
only three people have these numbers.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
We don't agree on everything, the three of us sitting
here in this conversation, we really don't, specifically the acting
prowess of Andy Garcia. That being said, Lebron is insufferable.
Lebron in La has been beyond insufferable, totally transparently phony
(22:46):
and completely self serving. And if that's the hell we
have to die on as a show, if that's what
makes us negative and old and bitter, that is fine
with me because I have a visceral physical reaction to
all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was that a tom Cruise vehicle where he had to
keep dying over and over again? That's who we are.
We are Tom Crue. We will continue to die over
and over and over again in order to solve this riddle.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
It's not the twenty eight days later with all that
Irish junk.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
No. On top of that, rich Paul, let it be
known that Lebron is not taking a discount if he
wants to keep playing.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I got my eye on you, but I'm gonna cripple
you financially.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
He's making fifty three Hell, look.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
You know what I'm gonna make you buy me this
five million dollar burking bag but you know what, what
if it makes a strain on your bank account, you're
in big trouble. Why not hang around with you next year.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I've never understood this. The team has all the leg
and this is this is going somewhere. The team has
all the leverage. In this situation. He is making fifty
three million dollars a year. There is not a single
scenario that you could possibly suggest somehow, some way he
is being short changed.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, they want what's best for him, don't you understand.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
If he's not, he couldn't possibly be driving more than
fifty three million dollars in revenue for the Lakers. They
signed a twenty year television contract with Spectrum that can't
change for another eight or nine years. The NBA already said, now, look,
maybe he does more for the NBA, and he helped
contribute to their eleven year, seventy six billion dollar national
(24:22):
television deal, but that deal is locked in, so he
can't add any money to that. So giving Lebron a
raise to sixty million dollars, which is what he would
be available to get for next year by the Lakers,
is not going to add a single cent to the
bottom line. There is only one way that Lebron can
add money in value to your organization, and that is
(24:45):
by what extending the playoffs, having more home playoff games
where you charge an exorbitant premium for tickets in turking Now,
so in the seven years eight years he's been here,
the one time they made a run to the finals,
there were no home games. There was no added value there.
(25:08):
And outside of that, the only added value that Lebron
James was given you is one other run to the
Western Conference finals. Otherwise it has been one playoff series,
so there has been talked added value.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
When we talked to Genie, she said she wished she
could pay him more. I bet she doesn't feel that
way now that it's not her money.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And guess what she is not? Mark Walter, Yeah, and
there are you.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Sure, Matt? I heard a promo on the other station
that said Genie still up.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There is the rub. So if he's going to dig
his feet and if Rich Paul, his agent is going
to try to paint him as some sort of martyr
and apply pressure that he deserves better roster construction right now,
and you need to trade future assets for current players. Uh,
and they're too old to grow with Luca and too
expensive to keep around. There is not another team out
there that can offer Lebron James fifty three million dollars.
(25:59):
There's not another team out there that can offer him
half of that that's got a shot at a championship.
So why would you ever bid against yourself? And if
I had to break it down to one thing, And
I have not heard this in any of the news
cycle since this was made public yesterday, considering the pissy
tone of Rich Paul's quote to Shams about the dueling
(26:21):
timelines of Luca and Lebron, and maybe they're not on
the same page and Lebron wants to win a championship
and the Lakers want to do what's best for him.
Is this is what I think. They did not want
to opt in. They wanted to opt out. They wanted
more years, probably like three years, one hundred and eighty
million bucks. And I'm guessing the Lakers said absolutely not,
(26:45):
absolutely not. If you want more years, you're taking a
discount so we can get under the apron so we
can have the freaking full taxpayer and go out and
get a freaking center for fourteen million bucks instead of
you opting in. And now we have to either let
go of Dorian Finnish or we can only pay a
guy six million bucks. So yeah, you want to opt
out and we'll give you more. You're taking less money.
(27:07):
And they got pissed because they said, no, we're not.
Lebron is not taking a cent less than the max.
It's the pissy statement exactly. And they wanted I bet
they wanted three years product share, one hundred and eighty
million bucks with a player option for his year fort
is age forty three season. You gotta be a war
of streets, and Mark Walter was like, no, absolutely not.
(27:34):
He wants it all. He expects everybody else to pick
up the tab. No other team's gonna trade for him.
That's a viable championship contender because they'd have to give it.
If you're a championship team, you're above the apron, which
means you have to match salaries. You have to trade
fifty three million for fifty three million in order to
acquire Lebron James, and that means gutting all your young assets.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Lebron saying he wants to be on a championship team,
but he costs fifty three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
They don't work.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
His existence makes it so no team he's on can
be a championship.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Teme, I don't know why I was discussed so much
in our sport. And why is the all be all
of everything.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
A all be all? Here's the all be all. You
know what, Lebron, you want to opt out and get
three years one hundred and eighty million, Well, here's the
all be all. We can't make that financially work with
Luca getting two hundred and twenty five million bucks on
August third.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
So we'll see y'all. So either our Phil Jackson, Yeah,
Phil Jackson said take your posse and get out of town.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
And that's the thing. If Rich Paul wants to be
a real a hole and say, well then you know
you do this for Lebron, Orright'm gonna bring my my
clutch sports clients to you. Okay, Well you know we'll
just then publicly let it be known that the ownership
group that gave Sho hail Tani seven hundred million bucks
and Yamamoto three hundred twenty five million bucks and Mookie
Betts three hundred and fifty million dollars is willing to
(28:57):
give your clients more money than any other and they
can live here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But you can't, Mom and Pop. Mark Wolts, you cannot.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
But because you're rich, Paul and your most important client
is Lebron James, he is sabotaging their happiness and their career.
And they're the type of team that would do that,
that could very comfortably puff their chest out and say
we've got more money than anybody else.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
They can be the alb all and that.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Janie Buss and the Bus family couldn't. They were not
able to do that. So if he wants to start
going scorched earth on how upset he is with their
offseason and what it would look like and what it
should look like, and how they're wasting the final couple
years of his career, I'm sure Mark Walter and his
Guggenheim group will look at him and say, where you
want to go? You just do you want? You want
(29:44):
to go to the Knicks. We'll take Karl Anthony Towns
and all of the baggage that goes with him back.
Because you both make the exact same amount of money
and enjoy yourself. The lunkheaded New Yorkers will celebrate your arrival.
You can puff your chest out and be Lebron James again.
I'm sure Jalen Brunson will be static upon his arrival
as well, and we'll go ahead. And it truly is like,
(30:04):
this is the great thing. As I wrap it up,
it's one of the great things about having an owner
like Mark Walter in finance, an economist. They don't give
a damn. They don't care about politics, they don't care
about emotions. All they care about is what is the
most efficient way we can get from point A to
point B, and how can I extract the most value
out of it? Great, Otani, here's seven hundred million dollars
because you're worth it, and we've crunched the numbers. And
(30:25):
that's that's ya. I'mamoto. Great, here's three hundred and twenty
five million bucks. We've crunched the numbers. This is what
we're gonna do. And there's the finish line. And Lebron
James has never had to stare that thing in the
face ever. Well, actually I shouldn't say that second time.
When pat Riley said, yeah, pound San, you're not bringing
your barber in seven friends on the freaking team Jet, Phil.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Jackson caught him a posse, pop off the top and
rock with my posse.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
And that's the a all be all out of town
of this take that I.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Don't know why I've discussed so much in our sport.
I don't know either, And why is the all be all?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You know this is going to upset Lebron And.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
You're the one that said that you were the goat
after blocking a shot. You didn't even make the.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Shot signature signature finals moment. One of the greatest plays
in the history of the front was it.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
We'll be right back with David Vass. He's got Dodger

Speaker 3 (32:03):
David Vasse, The Dodgers play with an inside look at
the Dodgers. This is the Vass Report with David Vasse.
A triumphant return from the road trip Colorado and Kansas City.
The Dodgers sitting pretty David Vass from Spectrum Sports Net,
(32:24):
LA MLB Network and right here on AM five seventy
with us now. He did a lot of TV over
the weekend. Dave, it feels a little bit like the
Dodgers are set to run away with this thing right
now with a White Sox coming to town. I mean,
come on, troubles are over.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
Yeah right, Petros, I mean look at it right now.
The Dodgers are seven games ahead of the Giants, seven
and a half games ahead of the Padres. The Padres
are taking on the Diamondbacks, while the Giants are taking
on the Phillies, while the Dodgers will be playing the
White Sox. There's a real possibility that will have a
double digit lead in the division by the end of
(33:03):
this home stand, and a lot of that goes back
to that twenty nine game stretch where they faced playoff
teams and came out ahead seventeen and twelve, and at
the end of the last home stand, you know, took
care of business against the Giants and Padres crushed their dreams.
And the Giants have a losing record since acquiring Rafael Devers.
So a lot of things are going the Dodgers' way.
(33:26):
And that's without the MVPs at the top of the
lineup even hitting at the same time, and even hitting
their best. I mean, Mookie Betts were still waiting for him.
Otawi's been streaky. Freddy just came out of a big slump.
So I mean, that's that's problematic for the rest of
the league.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
You have Max Munci in the final vote to start
the All Star Game along with Manny Machado. Dave, is
it as simple as the glasses? I know, you talk
to him like, is that is that it? The guy
just got the right glasses and now he's seeing the
ball and he's beating the hell.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
I mean, is Manny Machado going to win the fan vote?
He's hated by every other fan base outside of San Diego.
I mean, I don't feel like they're doing my guy
Ocho very fairly with a fan vote. So I mean,
I think Max Munsey's in a great spot here now.
The hate for the Dodgers, the resentment for the Dodgers,
I mean, it's great, but they are a global brand.
(34:21):
But I mean for Max Munsey, it is the glasses.
I mean, you have to see the ball. He had
a stigmatism and he couldn't see I mean, he couldn't
see the spin. And that's a big part of his
game because he's a guy that told me his thing
is pitch recognition. And if you watch him, he stands
deep in the batter's box. He's all about not only
(34:43):
hitting home runs, but also taking his share of walk
and Dave Roberts said that it's unfair to call him
now a three true outcome player because he's taking his
singles and all that. So, I mean, he's since mid May,
he's become one of the best hitters in the National
League again, and that's the reason why he's in the
(35:03):
conversation for making the All Star team.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
And that's like storyline number eight for the Dodgers Number
one is Otani and the fact that he pitched multiple
innings and that he hit one hundred and two miles
an hour on one of those pitches. Dave, what can
you tell us about having seen it up close and
personal and what it meant to get two innings of
dominant pitching out of him.
Speaker 9 (35:23):
I can tell you the residual effect. Dave Roberts said
yesterday before the game that he came out of it
a little fatigued, and we saw that in that game
that he pitched, he didn't really make a difference offensively.
So I feel like this is going to be a
case by case basis for Otani and the Dodgers to
evaluate whether or not it makes sense for him to
(35:46):
be stretched out to five or six innings. He when
I asked him after the game whether or not he's
still adjusting, he said he is, and it had nothing
to do although he did acknowledge the fact that he's
very good at partmentalizing things, so he wasn't going to
conceive that the pitching affected the hitting.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
It was.
Speaker 9 (36:07):
He gave Seth Lugo a lot of credit for the
reason why he and the others didn't hit that day, Well.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
He was over eight what Saturday Sunday?
Speaker 9 (36:15):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and he wants to be in there
every day. He's the one that has told Dave Roberts, hey,
I want to lead off. I want to lead off.
I want to be in there. But I believe it's
going to be a conversation between Otani, doctor Ella Trosh
the Dodgers about where they go and how far they
(36:35):
go with this.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
You got an update on glass Now or smell.
Speaker 9 (36:38):
Villa, Yes, I have an update on both. Smell Villa
is expected to face hitters this week, which is huge.
He's pain free. In his last bullpen on Saturday, he
threw ninety four miles an hour and he threw thirty
four times, so he's on to the next step and
Glass Now is a lot closer. He was effective in
(37:01):
his latest rehab start over the weekend. He was supposed
to go four innings but he only went two plus.
So he's going to have to have one more rehab
assignment to get stretched out, and there's a very good
chance that he returns before the All Star break.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Dave thoughts on, I don't know it being collectively bargained
or the Major League Baseball Players Association getting something put
in there that position players can no longer pitch in games.
I don't know if you saw that article. I can't
remember where I saw it, but it said that some
players are pissed that it's like adjusting stats and it's
a mockery of the game. Just kind of your thoughts,
(37:36):
since it's been the Dodgers that have done quite a
bit of it.
Speaker 9 (37:40):
Yeah, and you know, it's ironic that Miguel Rojas pitched
the other day and he told me he got himself right.
When Logan Porter, the Giants backup catcher, was pitching and
throwing thirty miles an hour, his hitting coach Aaron Bates,
the Dodgers hitting coach, Aaron Bates, said that he saw
something in Rojas that he had been searching for all
(38:02):
season long, and somehow, some way in that weird kind
of at that Rojas got himself right offensively. But hey,
I think we're all for it. It's become a little
bit too ridiculous where teams have found loopholes in the rules.
The league was trying to get rid of position players
trying to pitch, So I feel like nobody really wants
(38:25):
to see that.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Do they.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I don't think so. No, especially if you're hosting the
post game show and you want to get to it
and the game takes an extra twenty minutes.
Speaker 9 (38:32):
Right, Yeah, I just feel like, I mean, I feel like,
you guys are fans. Do you want to see Keith
k Hernandez come out and walk the bases away?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I want to see the Posso show.
Speaker 9 (38:45):
No, nobody want to see Paassos. So I feel like,
just bring a picture in, right, Just get a picture in,
get the game over with.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
It's the sour guy in there or the dryer guy.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Are you taking calls tonight about the deadline, Dave or
what are you going to do tonight?
Speaker 9 (39:00):
Well, I'm thinking about taking calls about your favorite Krushaw
memory or where he ranks in all time Dodger history,
because he is just three away from three thousand and
maybe the last picture we see in our lifetime that
achieves three thousand strikeouts, because not a lot of starters
(39:21):
are allowed to go deeper into games to achieve these strikeouts,
and a lot of these starters aren't staying healthy. I mean,
say what you will about Kershaw, knock on wood, He's
never had elbow surgery in eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
But he had the back back. He did back all right.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Dan sent him to Australia. They sent him to Australia
and then he came up with a bad bag.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
That's right. He went down under it and he never
came back. Dave, have a great week. Thank you for
coming on on your off night. But it's not an
off night because you have off night. Dodger Talk at
seven o'clock. Give Dave a call at eight six six,
nine eighty seven, two five seventy in an hour, Thanks.
Speaker 9 (39:57):
Dave, Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
David Vasse with the latest on the Dodgers. We've got
a whole nother hour.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I got my Steve Hartman on and started digging through
the which pitchers could possibly reach three thousand strikeouts? Like, oh,
what a great conversation that would be. You know, can
Chris Sale get there with Derret Cole. He's thirty four,
he's got twenty three hundred, you know, but he's an
injury risk. I mean, man, there's a lot of different directions.
How about Gossman, I mean.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Well, let's look at the games that they're gonna pitch
and start counting how many strikeouts we think they can
have good idea, go through the potential different individual matchups.
I'd like to see what he can do, you know what.
I believe that he can get there, he can get
I believe that we will win. We'll be back. We
got another hour of great sports talk on AMPI seventy
LA Great Sports Talk. I'm a Horse Monday with our
(40:44):
new Redhouse shots. I'm a whoy
