Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:52

People, before you ask about this show, if you don't hear anything about the masters, we will be recording our master show. That is right. The guest and I will be recording our master show. That will come out later in the week. So everybody look forward to that. Well, we started off with 68. We made it to four this weekend. And now we're down to two. Yukon and Michigan are your last two teams in this NCAA tournament. They both won fairly easy yesterday. Now, you could say, oh, I don't know about the Yukon, Illinois game. At one point, Illinois was winning 22-21. And that was it. Yukon outcoached him, outplayed them, had some veteran leadership with the caravan guy, and they put Illinois away. Now, Illinois. Um way too many three-pointers, in my opinion. Now, you know what it is when you move to playing in arenas, and then all of a sudden you move the game to a dome setting. It allegedly, allegedly bothers a lot of people, and they can't shoot very well because of the depth of how the basketball backboard and rim is sitting in a dome stadium. I never shot a basketball in a dome stadium. I wouldn't know. So I can't imagine what it is like shooting in that. And I don't know if it's any harder. But it seemed harder for Illinois. They couldn't make any big shots, three-pointers in that game, and UConn made all the right shots and all the right coaching moves in that game. They move on. Now, where the host was right. There was the host was right, and the whole, and there was the where the host was so wrong.

SPEAKER_03 3:14

So wrong.

SPEAKER_05 3:16

I told you UConn wouldn't have any problems getting by Eleanor. Said it on the show last week. Go back and listen. Episode 537. Go back and listen to what the host had said. So I already called that. And I said between Arizona and Michigan, well, that would be the championship game. I said it. I meant I said that last week on this show. I said Arizona and Michigan would be the championship game. Because whoever wins that game is gonna beat UConn. Sort of changing my tune on the second half of that. But I couldn't have been any more wrong with the result of that Michigan-Arizona game. Man was I wrong. Michigan dominated that game from the start. Arizona did make a little run in the first half, and that was it. Michigan just stepped on the throat and finished the job, and they humbled Arizona. Dusty May had those guys prepared. He had those guys pumped up. He had those guys ready to play. And did you see what they did? Speaking of shooting in the domes, did you see what they did and how they practiced the week before? Now I don't know if this really had anything to do with why they won the game. It may have well had. They took the basketball rim and backboard and a pole. And they put it out on the Michigan football field. And they practiced shooting baskets out on that field. To resemble what it would be like shooting on a football field in a dome seat. Now, is that a brilliant coaching move? Yo, you're damn well right at it. Did it was it why they won the game? I don't know. I don't know. Did it hype did it help psychologically for them? You bet it did! But they were just the better team. And they were truly outplaying them, out coaching them, outphysically playing them, out mentally playing them. They were just the better team. And they had one of their main players hurt his ankle and his MCL on his left knee. And they still dominated the game. Arizona just had no answers whatever. Tommy Lloyd looked like a coach who got caught with a deer and deer in headlights. It looked like that game was too big for him. Arizona had a great season. It ended up with three losses, right? Two of the losses were back to back uh during the season against Kansas and someone else. Other than that, they had a great season. But they just looked like they weren't ready to be in that spot. And I loved Arizona. I I thought Arizona was gonna be in the national championship game. I thought they could beat Michigan. I thought they had the better athletes. Well, I was totally wrong. And you know, they just got, like I said, totally, totally outplayed and dominated in that game. And what was that, NCAA? Two blowout games. Now, I expected a lot of blowout games leading up to the Final Four because why? The host has been talking about it the whole time leading up to this. How all the better teams, bigger schools, had the better players, they had all the NIL money, they had all the transfer portal guys, they got all the transfer portal guys from the mid-major schools, the higher seeds, I'm sorry, the lower seeds, which I mean number one, number two, number three seeds, were gonna dominate in this thing. I had no idea that the lower seeds would dominate in the two Final Four games. And we'd had two ones playing each other. And it looked like Arizona was an eight or a nine instead of a one. And Illinois looked like a 10 or a 7 in their matchup against Yukon. I don't know what happened. I mean, every game, you can't have every game close. I understand that. But man, this is the Final Four. We could have at least had two good games. And I'll tell you this. Come Monday night, Dan Hurley and Yukon aren't getting blown out. They're not getting blown off the floor like Arizona did. They're not getting blown off the floor like Illinois did. Oh no way that happens. Now, are they gonna blow out Michigan? I don't think so. So why I'm changing my tune, I said last week that Arizona, the winner of the Arizona-Michigan game, will truly beat UConn. I I don't know about that right now. There's just something about Dan Hurley and the way he coaches. And I'll give you a stat here in a second that you won't believe. But uh they're getting seven points, Monday. Seven! Seven points! A number Okay, and I'll tell you why that point spread is so high. It's all based on what you saw in the last game. You saw a Michigan team come out, dominate, dominate shooting, dominate the glass, dominate in talent, and everybody's like, whoa, holy cow, this Michigan team is for real. Dusty Bay's got this team coached, coached up and they're ready to go. So everybody's all feels good about Michigan. Yeah, Michigan's great. And don't let me wrong, they're a great team. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying they're a bad team. They're in the national championship game. How can they be a bad team? But everybody's like, oh yeah, Michigan, oh yeah, they're gonna smoke UConn. Did you see what they did to Arizona? As Lee Corsell says with the number two pencil, not so fast, my friend. I think UConn's gonna pump a fight at plus seven. Now, listen to this. For those of you who don't think Yukon can hang with Michigan. Dan Hurley. Sweet sixteen and odd. Eleven and oh. He's never lost. He's never lost. He's eleven and oh. He's eighteen and one in his last nineteen NCAA tournament games. Eighteen and one! I wouldn't. I wouldn't. And I'm not Monday night. I'm taking you comedy. I may I might have my foot in my mouth by the end of the night. And I could be a told you so by all you Michigan. But I I don't think I don't think they're gonna get blown out. I think they have a great chance to win. Just because of Dan Hurley and his coaching stuff. He may be an idiot. He may be a jackass like another Yukon coach that we're gonna talk about here in a little bit. But he's not getting blown out by Dusty May in Michigan. And how about the whole Dusty May thing? Right? Now he ha this this is what this is what drives me nuts about these coaches and these agents they have and these go They just won the final four game yesterday. Blue Arizona. They're in the championship game tomorrow night. It's Sunday. Dusty May's representatives and Dusty May had to come out and say today that they are not pursuing any other coaching jobs available. They're staying at Michigan of everything that's going on. Getting his team ready to play. Watching tape of UConn, preparing his his what they're gonna do with a game plan. He's gonna issue a statement saying that. Who's spreading that around? And of course, they're spreading it around as why? Because the North Carolina job is open because they fired Hubert Davis. Now I'm not saying that North Carolina is a better job than Michigan. It could be, but is it? It's basketball. It's not football. Like, it's not like North Carolina is a better football school than Michigan. Michigan's one of the top football schools in the entire nation. Everybody thinks of North Carolina. Think of Michael Jordan. Think of Dean Smith, Brad Doherty, James Worthy. You know, they think of all the national championships. All the final four appearances. But does Dusty May really want to go down that that road with his coaching career? He's in Michigan right now. Now, between the two schools, Michigan has one national basketball championship. They got 19. I'm sorry, one national basketball championship, nine Final Four appearances. North Carolina's got six national basketball championships and 21 Final Four appearances. Why would Dusty May want to leave Michigan and go chase other coaches' legacies that they left behind? Why wouldn't Dusty May for himself for his own reputation stay at Michigan and create his own legacy that some other coach can come in and chase? Why would he want to go create and challenge and take on and try to take and beat some other coach's legacy that was left behind? Why would he want to chase Dean Smith? Why would he want to chase Roy Williams? Why did he just stay at Michigan like he just had to come out and announce today and say, I'm going to create my own legacy here? What legacy is he trying to beat? He's surely not trying to beat the Fab Five legacy. How many times we got to hear about the Fab Five this weekend? Keep in mind, people, you people who love to bring up the Fab Five, they didn't win anything. They lost two years in a row. Were they a great team? Did they have great players? Absolutely. Those players were phenomenal. But their legacy is calling a timeout when they didn't have any left. And losing to North Carolina. That's the Fab Five's legacy. So Dusty May isn't chasing that being at Michigan. He's not chasing a Fab Five legacy because there is no legacy with the Fab Five. And yesterday we got to see a picture of them all together, all holding their hands up like they're cool. Again, you Fab Five idiots, you didn't win anything. Nothing! Yeah, you guys think you're the greatest, one of the greatest basketball teams to ever play college basketball. To be one of the greatest basketball teams to ever be coaching or ever be playing college basketball, don't you gotta have a banner up in the rafters that says national championship on it? Alright, that's what I think. That's what I would assume. But people just love to ride this Fab 5 dynasty like it was like it was one of the best college basketball dynasties ever. So again, back to Dusty May. He's better off staying in Michigan. And like I said, create your own legacy. Don't go chasing someone else's. And I think, you know, for them to come out and make a statement that he's staying. Ah, yeah, that is, I don't know why that has to come down to that. But we'll see where his legacy ends tomorrow, where they take on UConn and Dan Hurley as a big minus seven favorite. And the host, for the record, we're on UConn, plus the points in that game. Because right now, I trust Dan Hurley more than I trust Dusty May. Especially with Dan Hurley's track record. It's his third finals appearance in the last four seasons. So we'll see what happens with Dan Hurley and UConn going up against Dusty May in Michigan tomorrow night. Now, another Yukon coach over the weekend. Well, uh, things didn't go so well for him and their final four appearance. Yukon woman's coach, Gino, Auryuyama, Euroyama, whatever, however you want to say his name. You know him, UConn Girls, but women's basketball. All kinds of championships, all kinds of undefeated seasons. He has his own legacy at UConn. Had several matchups where he's gone up against all kinds of the top schools. They find themselves in the Final Four again. They're 38-0, and they're playing tough opponent in South Carolina and Dawn Staley, who is the coach of South Carolina, and her women's basketball program. Well, in their Final Four game, South Carolina was sticking it to Yukon. And I mean sticking it to Gino and his crew. It had Gino so upset. They interviewed him between the third and the fourth quarter, and this is what he had to say.

SPEAKER_04 18:32

Kind of wild turn of events, very strong jersey and slipped right down the middle. I thought you speaking to the rest of that. What the message is.

SPEAKER_01 19:04

Come on, man.

SPEAKER_05 19:09

Gino, you're uh Yukon coach between the third and fourth quarter of their Final Four game. Well, they go on to get rolled in that game. Uh, and then we get another incident in this game. At the end of the game, when Gino was going down to shake Don Staley's hand. He refused to shake their hand. Him and Don Staley get in a shouting match on the side on the on the center court area, and they begin shouting at each other, pointing at each other, and they had to be physically separated. Uh, Don Staley, you South Carolina coach, was so heated. She was seen, you can see in the video if you Google it, she's screaming at Gino, and Gino is helped to the locker room, and he goes walking off into the locker room. And she is just losing her mind, yelling at the coach. Boy, not a great look for Gino. Totally outcoached in the game, and he so upset about it that he had to take it out on her coach. Here's his comment after the game of Gino Yuriyama.

SPEAKER_00 20:21

For 41 years, I've been coaching and I've been, I don't know, 30, 25 Final Fours. And the protocol is before the game, you meet at half court. Anybody ever see that before? Two coaches meet at half court and they shake hands. Correct? You ever see it? They announce it on the on the loudspeaker. And I waited there for like three minutes. So it is what it is.

SPEAKER_05 20:54

Just a bitter old bad because he got his ass beat in a Final Four game. Uh, another undefeated season that he thought he was gonna have. He thought he was gonna go 4-0, what it added to his legacy. Could have been all about him again, leading an undefeated UConn team to a championship. And he got his ass handed to, and he looked like a sore loser in that matchup against South Carolina. There's so many other comments to talk about. We're not gonna go around that road on this show. Of course, a lot of people had to make it political. Uh, I'm not gonna go down that road and talk about it. But uh, but that was uh the excitement between the final four. And then how is Gino and Yukon women feeling right now? Because South Carolina made it to the final four. I mean, south I mean South Carolina made it to the final game. They went up against UCLA and UCLA women's basketball shoved. South Carolina today. 79-51. That's gotta sting Gino and the Yukon women even more, knowing that UCLA stuck it that bad to South Carolina. Gino's either got to be even more mad right now that his team didn't get to the finals to play UCLA, or he's got to be rolling, giggling, rolling happy on the floor that Don Staley got beat that bad in a finals appearance. It's got to be one of the two. There's nothing in between for what happened, but he's got to be ecstatic that that happened in that game. Man, I I couldn't believe I I wouldn't watch the game. I only saw all this happening on Twitter as I was following along on Twitter, and everybody was tweeting all this stuff out about the you the women's coach. I said, Oh, I gotta talk about this. This is great. So, you know, as boring as the men's final four was, at least the women's final four had some exciting with the coaches going at it than therefore that was going on. So at least that was happening because the men's final four wasn't worth watching at all, but the women's final four was. Um now sticking with basketball. I know, I know, I know. Host, what what what's going on? The last few shows, all we've had is basketball, we've had baseball. Where's all the football stuff? People, it's a sports talk show, not NFL talk. I know that's in the host's logo. There's a football. That's 80% of our material in our shows. We do football. Okay? We're not doing that right now. Taking a little break. Yes, there'll be a little tid here and there with some football stuff. But like I said, other things are going on. So there's more stuff to talk about. Uh, and we'll get to that at the end if I remember to talk about that. But anyway, I got this stuff for you about the NBA. And you people are not gonna believe this. You you're gonna you're gonna think like, like, is this is this really happy? Is this really their product? Is this really what the NBA puts on TV? So, you know the the uh over the last, I would say, five to seven years for the NBA. This is really this has really been amped up to an extreme higher level in the NBA. A lot of the star players don't play. Whether they're injured, whether they don't feel like playing, whether it's the load management day, and I put load management in quotes, air quotes, because I don't have video, you can't see me. You know, it could be a number of things. You know, they just don't feel like being, you know, showing up for the fans that day. And it was all started years ago by Kawhi Leonard when he played with the Spurs. Felt like he didn't need to play every game. Him and his agents benagled something with Greg Popovich, and he was able to take games up. Well, of course, that has now spread around to almost every team in the NBA. Almost every star player does it, and it's just become a drag of oh God, who wants to pay attention to the NBA during a regular season because none of the star players play. I'll just wait for the playoffs. And here's the NBA. They have an 82 game season. They gotta have fans in the seats. Their tickets aren't cheap. They got a billion-dollar, over billions of dollar TV deal with Amazon, NBC, ESPN, TNT. Oh no, no, I'm sorry, no more TNT. They gotta put people in their seats, yet they hardly put a good product on the floor for fans to watch. You got people sitting at home and want to watch the NBA, yet their star players don't play. You got all these talk shows every day that talk about the NBA. And I don't know why. First things first, with Nick Wright and Chris Bouchard and Kevin Wiles, I like the show personally, but I don't watch it right now because all they do is talk about the NBA. There's nothing happening in the NBA right now. Just a few weeks for the playoffs, and then the NBA will be able to talk about. You got Stephen A. Smith talking about the NBA all the time on his show. You got the Get Up show on ESPN, which constantly talks about the NBA. And yet, no one's watching the NBA. Their ratings are the lowest as ever. Yet you still have all these shows all the time pumping the NBA, talking about the NBA, and yet no one's watching it. It's just a truly memorizing thing to see and hear this all the time. Like, all those shows I just mentioned, including this very show right here that you're listening to, Sports Talk with the host. All we do is talk about football. What's everybody usually do? Everybody watches football. The ratings are huge, the ratings are going up every year. So everyone talks about it. All those shows I mentioned talk about it all the time. They talk about the NBA like it's almost the same exact audience. Yet the NBA audience and what's viewed on TV is a microscope on the scale of who watches the NFL. And I don't get it. I don't know if it's because people want to hear about NBA talk, whether you want to keep on hearing about LeBron all the time. It's the same thing, like with a few shows, they get stuck about talking about the Dallas Cowboys all the time. You can only talk about so much about the Dallas Cowboys, just like you can only almost talk as much as you want to do about Libron. It's just too much. Yet all these shows talk about Libron all the damn time. And you're like, why have all these people do this? So then I got this stamp. And wait till you hear this. It's how often do all the NBA stars play on national TV? Well, I got the tally right here. National TV! ABC! They've broadcast 23 national games so far this season. 10 of the 23 games they broadcast, the actual stars on those NBA teams played. That's 43.5% of the time. When you tune in that game, you're gonna see the actual guys you want to see play. ESPN! They show the NBA all the time. They talk about the NBA all the time. They've broadcast 52 national games this season. They've had 15 games where the actual stars of those teams all play. 28.8% of the time you saw the stars play in those games. The NBC on Peacock! This is just regular NBC. You know, they got Sunday night basketball now. Tuesday night basketball now. With Mark Tariko! How could you not go wrong? You want to watch those games? They've had 80 national games. 80 of those 80 games, 27 times you saw the games with the full stars of the NBA playing for a whopping 33.8%. Well, Peacock! People have Peacock! Hey, I got Peacock! Hey, there's an exclusive NBA game on. It's gotta be a good game. Why don't I tune it in and see who's playing? Peacock has had nine national exclusive games this year. One game was full of the real NBA stars playing in that game for a whopping 11.1%. And finally, Amazon Prime signed a big deal with the NBA, replacing Thursday night football. Until football comes back. Prime's got basketball. Who wants to tune in to Amazon Prime see their games? They've had 56 games this season. 19 times the NBA stars have played in those games. For a whopping 33.9% of the time, you're seeing the star that you want to see. Overall, overall, the final tally is 220 national NBA games have been on. 72 games of when you've actually seen the stars play in those games for a whopping 32.7%. Can you imagine that? You're putting a product on the floor with a bunch of garbage. Can you imagine if the NFL did that to their fans? Can you imagine of watching a Buffalo Bills game where Josh Allen only feels like playing 32% of the time? What is that, five out of the 17 games? Not because he's hurt. Because, oh, I'm tired. Or I don't feel like playing. Or uh, I just played a Monday night game. Why should I play six days later and play a Sunday game? I need the day off. That's what NBA players are doing. NBA players, if they gotta play three games in four nights, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. I I just played the other night. I mean I gotta play again? You mean I got I I gotta suit up and warm up and I gotta go out there again? What if I just did three quick fouls and I got to sit back on the bench? Is that okay? The NBA is ripping off their fans big time. They had the second most average ticket price for the fans. They got the second highest TV deal in sports. Yet no one is watching and they can't put a good product on the floor. If you're an NBA fan, you gotta sit there and put up with this from October to the middle of April until your team actually shows up and wants to play in the play. And the NBA is making money off you by doing that. I don't know what to say. I gave you the stats. Those are true stats. That is true. Again, can you imagine the NFL if they did that? You imagine Mahomes saying, eh, I don't want, you know, I got I got 78,000 people tonight in Arrowhead. You know what? I kinda hurt my pinky putting the toaster button down this morning. I think I'm not gonna play. You imagine that? You imagine what feedback the NFL would get if they're and if those players did that? You imagine what Roger Goudell would do? He wouldn't put up with that. Mr. Barlow, the NBA commissioner, these players walk all over him. He has no control of these guys. They're trying to figure out what to do about all this tanking that's been going on and everything. They're not gonna be able to control that. I personally like the NBA. Then I saw this stat and I was like, holy cow, I didn't know it was that bad. I knew it was, I knew it was not good. That number of star players that don't want to play. Paul George has basically hasn't played at all for two seasons for the Philadelphia 76ers yet. He's still collecting 40-some million dollars a year. He just came back and started playing again. Why? The playoffs start in a few weeks. Steph Curry's gonna play tonight. Why? The playoffs start in a few weeks. But it might be too late for Hitman by now. They're too far out of it. Now there's teams out there that their star players play every game. Victor Wimbiyama of San Antonio, he plays every game. He's out there all the time. So he hasn't fallen into the trap yet of, hey, I'm an NBA star. I need to sit out. Nikola Jokic of the Nuggets. Now he was hurt earlier in the year and he was legitimately hurt. But he's out there every night playing. He's out there for the fans. You imagine you set your schedule up to go see your favorite NBA team play and you buy tickets three months in advance. Get plane tickets. Because you can't, if if you're just an average fan and you want to travel to go see your father and you got a son or daughter who wants to see their star player play. You just can't, if you're an average person, you just can't hop on a plane the next day, go see a team, buy a ticket at the last minute, and go and see your guy play. You've got to schedule these things. You've got play tickets, you can't buy a plate ticket the last minute, it's expensive. You've got to you want to get a plate ticket in advance when it's cheaper. You want to get a hotel room in advance when it's cheaper. You don't want to book all this stuff the last minute. Now, if you got tons of money, you want to blow a bunch of money, of course you can do that. But not the average NBA fan. You imagine you do this, you spend money on tickets. You spend money on a hotel, you spend money on flights, you show up to the game. Hey, we're here to see our player play. Oh, I I'm sorry. Um uh Steph Curry's gonna sit out tonight. Uh, he's not gonna play. Uh he just doesn't want to play tonight. We we just spent$2,500 to get here and see Steph play. He's not playing. He doesn't want to play tonight. We're sorry. Can we get you a free popcorn? I mean I mean, what the NBA is doing is ridiculous. NHL players don't do this. Major League Baseball players don't do this. I'm not gonna say the NFL players don't do it. There might be some, and I mean some, I don't mean a majority like the NBA. I'm gonna say there's probably a few NFL players out there that tend to not want to play them. I'm not gonna say it's a lot because NFL players are warriors, they're gladiators, they're tough. They don't want to be known as soft people. So I'm not gonna say, I'm gonna say the percentage is low, but there's some. More than you think. Some people you probably don't know of, but there is some. But man, what a garbage product the NBA tries to put out there and throw it in your face. Just so unacceptable. Yet, us stupid fans still buying the tickets, watching the games on TV, betting on the games on our phone. Oh, I'm right there when the playoffs start. How is it magically every year when the playoffs start, all these guys are okay? I mean, come on, think about it. All the playoffs are starting. Hey, oh, all of a sudden uh a few weeks ago, oh, my arm, I think it's broke. Oh, it's healed, I can shoot. How does that physically happen to some of these guys? Because it happens all the time. Watch in a few weeks when the playoffs start. All these guys will be fine. They'll be out there playing. If the if they're hurt, if there's guys aren't playing, they are legitimately hurt. If you're not playing in the playoffs, you are legit legitimately hurt. You're really not playing. You are hurt for real. So, man, NBA. Major issues to figure out. And they want to put a team here in Las Vegas. Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck going to see that team play. Whatever product that might be at the time. Um, real quick. Um, the Tiger Woods update. Uh we finally got the body cam footage. We've got the audio from it that we've heard. Um, I wanted to play some of the audio of Tiger Woods. I it for some old reason, it gets muffled and it doesn't come through very well. It's hard to understand. So I'll let you guys go out and search and find it. I I'm having a hard time trying to get it to come through the recorder and play for you on the show. So I'm not, I'm not gonna mess with it because I don't want to uh you know let you guys try to listen to that and go, Holes, what are you doing? You can't listen to this audio, it sucks. Yeah, I know. I that's why I'm not playing. But uh I did find it funny when they found Tiger Woods at the scene. Uh cops start questioning him. One of the first things Tiger says is, I was just talking to the president of the United States. And the cop kind of looked at him like, okay? Like, yeah? Like, what? Does that automatically give you a pass? I don't know what the Tiger was trying to pull there. I don't I don't know what kind of card Tiger was trying to pull there. Hey, I just got off the phone with the president. Okay? What because you're in Florida? Because it he won that state? Uh because you're you're you're dating his son's ex-wife? I don't know. I don't know what what what what he was trying to do. And then you later see more of the footage. He's got the handcuffs on, he's in front of the car, and then they put him in the back of the car, and he has like a meltdown. He screams, he kind of mumbles to himself and says, Well, there goes the masters. Uh you know, he puts a towel over his head, he's praying, he's got his eye closed, just so awkward and so just not Tiger Woods. And while it makes me smile and see him at this stage, and that what he's done and what he's become, at the same time, I do kind of feel bad about him. I do. You know, he's one of the greatest golfers to ever play, and he's ending up in the back of a police car addicted to drugs. Because he's announced this past week that he's stepping away from golf to take care of himself. Now stepping away from golf. Just for the record, I think he stepped away a few years ago. He's played four rounds in 2024. Master. We didn't see him two years before that. We haven't seen him since. We see him on that stupid TGL thing. We don't see him. I think he stepped away from golf a while. So we don't need to hear that comment. If Tiger Woods was playing every day every every year, and playing in the allowed tournament that he played, playing in the matrix, and he said I'm stepping away. Okay. Stepping away from what? I don't know. I didn't like that scene. But he's going to get help. And who knows if we'll ever see him play on a golf course again. And I didn't know this. He was signed up to play in the senior championship. I didn't know that. I didn't know he was gonna do that. I didn't think Tiger would ever do that. But he's gonna do that. You know what's sad is the only time we ever might see Tiger again swing and hit a golf ball is when he gets invited and takes the master's ceremonial first t shot. Because you know he's gonna end up doing that later down in the life. Jack said he'd never do it, he did it. Arnie said he'd never do it, he did it. Gary Player's still doing it, the guy's like 90. Tom Watson's doing it. A lot of guys say they won't do it, but they end up doing it. I think that might be the only other time we ever see Tiger Boys hit a golf ball again. And I'm not counting the stupid TGL. Think about that. You might not see Tiger ever hit a golf ball. Only in the first ceremonial T shot. So that's all I got for you on this show. Now, what I I mentioned a little back when I was talking and rambling out about I'm not gonna read the entire email. Um but I got this email. I'm not gonna read the whole thing because it's like it's like eight paragraphs long. This guy just wrote me this message. Praising the show, not liking the show, hating the show, thinks the host is great, thinks the host sucks. I don't know if this this is Tiger Woods when he was on drugs emailing me here. There's so many convoluted messages in this one email. I'm just gonna read you one part of the email. While I do like the show host, I find it odd that you can never talk about any other sports before. Your main source of talking points is always the NFL. While those some they may not get bored with that, for others who enjoy other sports, we may do. So it'd be nice for you once in a while to talk about other sports other than the NFL. And he goes on and on and on about other stuff. That's just one little excerpt from his email. Well, have you not listened to the last four episodes? Five episodes? We're not talking that much. Give you a few stats here and there. I could have gave you some more stats today, and I'm safe. I'm safe. I got them all here. I got all kinds of stats yet. They could be read at any time at any point. There's no sense rushing through them. There's other things going on. So that's what you've been hearing. And we're gonna record a master show, me and the guests. We're gonna record a whole golf show just on the masters this week. You're gonna get two shows this week with no football. So I hope you guys are enjoying. And I just didn't veer off and not do football because of this one email. Trust me. Sports talk with the host. Thank you once again for all your listening. You guys are great. You guys are so great. I the last episode that we did 440 downloads. I'll tell you, 440 right here. Right here on that show. And I didn't even talk about four. I only talked a little bit about uh JSN at the end with his big contract when he signed with Seattle. 440 downloads. Still downloaded. Some people are still downloaded today. Amazing. Thank you. For those of you who've been loyal listeners to me, you know where to get the show by now. And for all you new listeners, well, you get on Spotify, iHeartRadio, Google Podcasts, Podcast Act, Amazon Music. It's on BuzzSprout. Go on to BuzzSprout, the main website, part of it, Google, or uh search the show, you'll get every podcast platform that this show is hosted on, and you'll be able to listen. And once again, it's nice to be important, but more important to be nice. Now, last week I came on here and I played Steve Harris's band of Iron Man. He has his own band called British Lion. I play this on. Well, he has a son who plays guitar. George Harris. This is his band, the Raven Eight.
