Quick Welcome And The Game Plan
SPEAKER_03And welcome everybody to another episode of Real Talk Doc. You doing all right today?
SPEAKER_01Yes, I am. Glad to be on a little early so we can enjoy the games. I love this time of year. We got a special guest. He's been on before. You do the intro, brother.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely. So we don't have much time. We got a short episode for you guys this go around. This is uh he's a he's a guy he's joined us uh plenty of times before. Um as I we were talking earlier in our pre-production, if you will. He's a fan of a bad team, a bad of a good team. So uh, of course, the Lakers as his good team. The uh Las Vegas to Oakland, Los Angeles Raiders as a bad team. Esteban, how you doing, man?
SPEAKER_00You know what? I'm loving this time of year. I'm I'm laid off right now, and this is the best time of year to be laid off from work because you just sit at home. I'm in my underwear, just watching basketball all day. Life is good.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely, brother. Yeah, that's good. TMI, but we love you. Exactly. Let's go. Exactly, exactly.
March Madness Final Four Picks
SPEAKER_03Okay, all right. So we'll we just like I said, we have a real short episode for you guys. So we'll talk a little bit about uh Team USA baseball. We'll we'll do a little bit of uh slightly a little bit of MBA, uh some free agency from the NFL, uh, but of course March Madness starts today. Uh Doc, I believe we have a game or two that finished today, if not more than that. Uh so uh so we'll get into it, and so I'm gonna start with you. Uh what were your final four predictions? And did you have any teams that that you probably thought that were going to make some noise? Uh all that. So your your March Madness synopsis, if you will, uh final four prediction and some sneaky teams to look out for.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so uh first of all, Marlon, every show that you are on is a short show, so I just gotta put that on.
SPEAKER_03Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one.
SPEAKER_00That's a good one. Yeah, so here's my final four that I have. I have uh Illinois Duke on one side and Arizona Iowa State on the other side. Um I have uh Arizona over Illinois in the finals. Um I wouldn't be surprised if Duke made it. That was probably my toughest game, but I just think that experience versus inexperience. And I just think that uh I mean, yes, Duke, I have them going to the Final Four, but I just think in the end, they're not gonna make it to the championship game just due to inexperience. I think uh Illinois is one of these teams that um I mean a lot of not not a lot of people are talking about. I think it's a team that's experienced, it's been there that's uh can make these runs. They um are a very streaky team, but I think they're coming in hot right now, and I think they're gonna make it in the finals, but I think just Arizona, Talkie talked about it earlier today on uh on Adam's show, just with their bigs, with the way they play, I think Arizona's got that mentality, it's got that team makeup. They played in uh in a tough conference, and I think they just they got what it takes over to uh win that championship.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's a good point, get rid of that. You know, uh we had two victories, as Marlon alluded to. I think TCU with Coach Dixon, who used to coach Pitt, you know, he was on the Adam Sime show the other day. They wanted a thriller over Ohio State, and then of course Nebraska, a football school, beat Troy in a close one. Um my final four for the record, fellas, is Duke, Houston, Arizona, and Iowa State. I just like the way Iowa State played, and even though they didn't make the Big 12 tournament. Um interesting matchups right there. You know, I got Florida beating Clemson and Bandy beating Nebraska in the next round. That Florida Bandy matchup is gonna be a doozy, an SEC. They played twice, they split. Uh, and also uh Duke and St. John's in the next round Saturday. I think I think St. John's gonna give a run to Duke, but Duke's gonna win a close one. Duke has a serious imagery, gentlemen. And uh, but I love the Johnnies, that defense, you know, Rick Patino. And then on the other side of Black Array, that's Arkansas, and and that kid Acuff, man. Really haven't watched him this year, but Stephen A. swears by him. Iverson clone and Marlon, this kid is the real deal. Arizona, you know, he's my team to uh beat Duke in the finals, but keep an eye on A Cup for Arkansas, the SEC player, you know, true freshman. He's freshman class, fellas, you know. The Bonza at uh BYU, of course, you know, about the kid at Kansas, you know, Peterson and Marlon, the kid at uh Houston, the University of Houston, man, you know, he he's good, man. And he got the other cat, you know, uh for Duke, you know, Boozer. So I'm excited, man. I got Georgia beating uh, you know, the St. Louis, but they're gonna get crushed by Michigan Raider ass. So some of these matchups, they won't make it to the League Eight or Final Four, but I'm telling you, man, you keep I gave you a few teams, you know. And uh it started off today with Troy. I mean with um TCU. And that was a thrilling game. But go ahead, Marlon, what you got? Give us your final four.
SPEAKER_03Oh man, I got I got uh Duke, Illinois, Arizona, and then I got uh Kentucky. So um those are my team. They got Duke winning in the middle. Wow! Yeah. Kentucky. Okay. Right on, okay Kentucky. Yeah, I got them taking out Michigan uh in the Elite A's. The Elite A's. So, you know, I I you know I've been watching a lot, Doc, and and it's this Kentucky team is they are uh they're ready, they're red hot, Doc. Red hot. So they're ready to make some noise and and and uh upset some people. We already had a little small little upset. Nine eight's not really an upset, but uh yeah, we already had a couple couple of them. So yeah, man. So um S, did you have anything else for us before we uh switch over to uh to some uh Yeah, you were talking No, you yeah, you were talking about uh some of the uh some uh possible upsets.
SPEAKER_00You know, I actually have two number ones not making it out of this weekend. Oh wow. I think uh this weekend? I I think uh flo this weekend. I think it to us. I think bring it so I I I got I got Clemson over Florida. I think again we're looking at uh a Clemson team that just has some good experience to it. I think uh they can match up real well against Florida, um, just kind of shut them down on defense and uh just just really shock some people with that game against uh against Florida. The other one that I have, and it's gonna piss off a lot of people, but Doc, you might love it. Uh I have Georgia over Michigan over this weekend. Michigan, they were a hot team to start off the year. I think um there was no team hotter than Michigan. And beginning of the year, I mean, I I would have said that this is the team that's gonna win it all. But lately, you know, it could come down to earth a little bit more, they're playing to to the level of their opponents, a lot more close, close games. And I I just I just don't think Michigan has what it takes to make it to the final four. That's actually one of the uh the bets that I made already was Michigan to not make the final four. And um I I I feel really good about that because even if they if they uh get past Georgia, I think uh Texas Tech will give them a good run for their money in the uh Eat 16 if it gets to there. And I I just I just really like uh Iowa Iowa State to come out of that bracket.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, yeah, man, that's a good one. You know, I would love that being a bulldog fanatic. Uh before we move on, Ma, I know we're short on time, but a lot of injuries have devastated some of the teams in this tournament. Louisville lost their best guy. North Carolina lost Caleb Williams Wilson, their best guy, a true freshman. And Bama kicked off a team down in Alabama and Tuscaloosa because he was dealing with drugs, you know. He was that what's going on with these kids, you know. And also before we go, uh Ray S, you might agree, St. John's got screwed as a five. You know, they won a big E for crying out loud. Blue all UConn by 20, and they get a five. They're in a tough uh uh you know bracket anyway with Duke and UConn, but I I beg the diff with some of these uh committee members. But go ahead, Marlon, I digress. Go ahead. I had to mention that though.
Team USA Baseball Falls To Venezuela
SPEAKER_03Yeah, absolutely. Okay, all right. So uh on to Team USA baseball, uh, we don't have a ton of time to dive into this uh in depth, but uh S, I'll go ahead and start with you. Thoughts on the Team USA's uh you know run uh and you know them losing obviously to Venezuela in in the uh in the championship.
SPEAKER_00I mean, here's the thing is that it's not even about Team USA, it's just about baseball in general and just what a great tournament this was to get everyone ready for the baseball season. I mean, Marlon, we know what a huge baseball guy you are. You're damn right. Yeah, you just absolutely love baseball. So so so the this goes beyond what Team USA did. I mean, I was actually happy for Venezuela because I mean, isn't uh right now Venezuela USA South anyway? Um anyway, I won't get political on here, but uh it's you know you just gotta love the energy that was out there. I mean, seeing the the the concourse, seeing the fans, seeing what how much they were loving it. So you don't get that kind of passion out of a USA baseball fan. So I was actually just I was really happy for the Venezuelan team, the Venezuelan people, and just uh the way it turned out. I think uh I mean they wanted it more, it meant more to them. Um, so and Mark DeRosa, the manager of the US, is an idiot, so he really deserved a win anyway. But uh, yeah, so so just but just as a whole, I thought the tournament was just fantastic and just so much fun to watch.
SPEAKER_01Mark DeRosa is a clown, as you referenced, man. Why you have uh the big pomp or Cal Riley on the bench, no matter how struggle you all it takes is one swing. And Bryce Hopper, who I really don't like being in NLE, she brought that team back for team as they would have two-round bomb, a moonshot. But the rosa made some bad he didn't put your guy in for the Padres, Marlon, you know, even though he said he would have came in at the lane. Why don't you pitch him, you know, when they tied? I don't know if management for the Padres Marlon, your call on this, forced DeRosa to make this one for the when you're a team here and say you have total control, man. You know? And but but I don't know. That that's the way I feel about the Rosa made look terrible, Moves.
SPEAKER_00Doc. Doc, before Marlon answers that question, Marlon, do you know the name of the picture that Doc is referring to?
SPEAKER_03You know the good thing about this podcast, I can edit everything out of this shit. So fuck you. Fuck you for doing that.
SPEAKER_02Oh man, keep that on. Keep that response on. But yeah, keep it on, brother.
NFL Free Agency And AFC West Moves
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I love it. Good job, Redass. Okay. Mama, we gotta, I know you want to move on, but uh the NFL and AFC West made a major trade. Let's talk Red S about that. You know, AFC West, baby.
SPEAKER_03I'm I'm just gonna say overall, there was a lot of money that was spent, uh, as we know. Uh some of the biggest uh moves, Trey Hendrickson, as we talked about, uh, I believe we talked about it last week. Uh Ode Owe, if I'm saying his name right, we got him from the Ravens, uh, and then he ended up going to Washington. Uh, I think the Raiders overpaid on Tyler uh Lindenbaum, whatever his name is, three years, 81 million for a center. I think is diabolical. Um, I definitely wanted to try to go after Romeo Davis. That was a crazy um uh pickup after releasing Stefan Diggs as the Patriots did, but there's a ton of stuff we can go on and on and on about all the pickups, uh uh Mike Evans going getting his money and all that stuff. But uh yeah, so uh with Chad, I know he's happy about it. Getting uh a premier guy in uh Jalen Waddell to his team, to his squad. I personally feel like they gave up a little much for him, but you know, it is what it is. So thoughts on the Jalen Waddle trade, especially you're in our division. So uh yeah, thoughts on that.
SPEAKER_00Well, you know what, honestly, I mean I even though I talked trash to Chad about that trade, I mean, I think it's uh it's a good trade for the Broncos. I think um Waddle, I don't even know if that guy has peaked yet. I think he still has uh um some some growth that he could have for him, and and I don't think we've seen the best of Jalen Waddle yet. I just think he's been in a bad situation with a bad quarterback there in Miami. I'm not saying that Bo Nicks is is the end all be all, but I think he's definitely an upgrade over Tua. Um so I think he's gonna be put in a good position. I think Miami got uh some good pieces out of that trade as well. Um but uh I I don't don't think I I I miss you talking trash about my Raiders and when they were spending me. You call it diabolical. Do you know what the definition of diabolical is?
SPEAKER_03Ridiculous, asinine, something something only a shithead would do.
SPEAKER_00But you know, but the here's the thing though, is that for once the Raiders, I mean, they've had money to spend in the past, but they've always like overspent on players that weren't worth it. So now they're actually overspending on guys that can actually make a difference on the team, especially when you're gonna be going out and getting a rookie quarterback to start for you next year. You need to have that anchor in the center to order to really help solidify that quarterback position. You're gonna have them open up holes for for uh Aston Genty. Um, it's gonna just be a huge, huge upgrade from what they had at that offensive line because they literally had the worst offensive line in the league last year.
SPEAKER_03Uh they had to go out there and make that. I beg to di I beg to differ. Uh but only because of what we had to deal with. But uh, you know, talking about the Chargers, this is what you get. This is you get a guy in Tom Telesco, which I mean, you know, it is what it is with them, but he's gonna get guys and he's gonna overspend for them to make sure they don't go elsewhere. So but you guys have the money, and you guys had to there's so many holes within your organization as as far as offense and defense. You guys did what you guys got to do, and I get it and understand. Um we needed a center badly, we got one who's you know above average, not great. Uh of course, your yours is the best one, but uh we I'm pretty sure we tried to bid for him as we tried to bid for Mike Evans, but we just weren't gonna overspend for him. But um, but yeah, I mean we'll we'll see what happens. We've got a lot of time to talk about um, you know, football, but we will see. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Well let me weigh in this real quick. I've got uh my wife's a rater, of course. She she loves the uh acquisition of N'Kobe Dean and Quay Walker right there as two young active linebackers. The fit wasn't the same in Philly after the knee injuries suffered from in this rookie year from Philly, N'Kobe Dean. But Quay Walker's a playmaker, and I like those two picks, not because he went to the University of Georgia, but players that you need, you know, you know what I'm saying, Red Hass. And uh I I feel like you're gonna address defense in the draft. And I just want your take on the whole, you know, fiasco relative to uh, you know, Crosby, you know, uh uh to add Nacobe Dana. Do you keep him? Uh do you hate Baltimore now? What's your take? Bring it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and you know, these are things that I loved the trade when it happened. For them to be able to get two number ones. I was I was very, very elated. Now, I mean, just after the after this bullshit that uh Baltimore pulled, I mean, and that's what it was. It was absolute bullshit for them to do what they did, especially after hearing uh Max Crosby describe what happened out there with uh Eric DeCosta not meeting with him at first and uh just having him sit there and wait around and not knowing what's going on. So, but but anyway, but now you see Max Crosby coming back to this team and he has a chip on his shoulder. He is gonna be just playing out of his mind next season. I would hate to be an offensive line lined up against Max Crosby next year because he is just gonna be playing like a man possessed after what happened this offseason. But now there's also some other defensive pieces to help him out out there. I mean, you're gonna have Queen Pay. I mean, I don't think Quinny Pay is the NLP all guy for uh as far as um defensive end goes. I think he's he's a a good player. I don't think he's a great player. But like you like you mentioned, I love getting Quay Walker and Dean. I think those two are very underrated signings. I think um they're gonna be just great players on this defense. And this is a defense that's been just disastrous for a long time, but now they're getting some some good pieces in there. Like I said, they're making some good decisions with these signings. And yeah, I I haven't been this exciting as a Raider fan in I don't know how long.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, Marlon, I know you want to go to the NBA and the two hottest teams in the league, the Lakers and the Hawks. But real quick, Kyler Murray going to Minnesota as a guy saying for that particular fan base and franchise, because we knew coming out of the draft, JJ, JJ uh MacArthur was guards. And I said that at that time. Michigan was a run-audio team, oriented team with Blake Coram, your guy. So, you know, I just had to weigh in on Kyler Murray. But go ahead, go ahead, Marlon. We'll close it out with the NBA, I guess.
SPEAKER_03With Kyler, this is gonna be your last shot, and you're in a great position because you're going up against somebody that they don't necessarily believe in. So this is your chance to go ahead and play with one of the best, if not the best, receiver in football. So you got Aaron Jones back who's very up and down your offensive line. This is the best offensive line that Kyler has played with his whole career since, probably since Cal C. So go ahead and make something happen, make people believe that you're a believer, because you you're getting of course you're getting some money from Arizona, but you're not making anything necessarily in Minnesota, and that's fine, but now you're planning for your future. So if you go and you mess around and you get to start a job, great, cool. Do what you gotta do, go ahead and get another contract with another team, or get re-signed, you know, potentially by them. So we'll see what happens with that. But this is this is last shot. And with Tua, same thing with Tua. Doc, you can wear this if you want. This is your this is your chance. Like because if not, you're gonna be a certified glorified backup. So this is your chance. Go ahead, Doc, and I'll go to MBA.
NBA Streaks Plus Playoff Outlook
SPEAKER_01Yeah, man, it's one of those things where uh we're hoping that you know Phoenix is eventually the guy, but he's injury prone. You know that going into the draft, he won't be ready until October. So Tua has Drake running, Kyle Pitts, and uh the uh Alamada Zacchaeus to throw to now. Plus, B. John Ramos is a guy. We're gonna get a backup run and making a draft. But, you know, Tua, as you referenced, is it's one of those things where, you know, uh God bless him, let's go, man. In Dome, he threw four TD passes a week eight. Embarrassing, but he can't play outdoors or in cold weather. So if he has a dome-oriented division and a warm weather city in Tampa, so we'll see how it goes, man. But yeah, we're pressing time. We gotta lead off with this, Marlon, with uh the devastating news in Detroit. And Ray, I want you to, I know you're the West Coast guy, but that that's crushing. You know, Kate Cunningham, collapsed lung, and then the Lakers are seven in a row, the Hawks 11. But I digress. Go ahead, uh, Marlon. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03No, I was gonna start with that too, as well. He got the Tyrod Taylor treatment, unfortunately, with the with the collapsed lung. So that's unfortunate for them as well as their plan. So who knows when we'll see them. You got Jason Tatum back with Boston. Uh the Knicks, they're they're still relevant, uh, as well as the Cavs. On the other side, uh uh Shade Gillius, he's still been, you know, doing his thing. Uh uh, Giannis. Um Wiman Yama, he's still been great. Lakers are are up to now number three. So it's been going great. Uh and it's you know, I I don't I don't necessarily see the Lakers getting to a final this year, but what are your thoughts necessarily on the the West and even more so the East on you know the Lakers making it uh that far, even you know, meeting some a team like Boston, for instance, who has all the pieces and all that stuff. So but really what are your thoughts on more so like the Lakers and how far you think they can go with this team?
SPEAKER_00I I I don't even want this team to make the playoffs. I hate this Lakers team, but I mean I digress. I've hated this Lakers team for a while. But you know what? They they've they've been impressive in these last seven games and just showing some resilience, showing some fight in them finally. Um I'm still not a LeBron believer, and I think uh coming off time, I think they're just kind of starting to show their age again and uh they'll probably tire out. I I I I I think they'll probably win uh one series in the in the playoffs. I can't see them making it to the uh to the finals in the uh in the Pacific in the West. Um and so I I just I think this is uh San Antonio's uh conference to win. Um I think is uh I wouldn't I I see San Antonio in the finals probably going up against um against Boston. I mean, yeah, OKC is good. OKC is fantastic, but I I still I think uh OKC has sold some cracks from their from their hot start they had also. So uh but I I think uh San Antonio is just when w when Bayana this guy is just an absolute stud. I mean I I know uh um SGA is uh is probably end up winning the MVP award again, but uh Wemby, the this guy, there's nothing that he cannot do. He is just fantastic all over the court. I mean, for being his size, I I thought honestly his weight was gonna be an issue or lack thereof. And um, but you know what? He he is just um playing like a man amongst boys right now with the way uh he is on both sides of the court. And then in the East, yeah, I mean that came. Cunningham news is just devastating for that team. And who knows how long he'll be out. I mean, hopefully uh he'll come back strong and uh come back healthy. But uh yeah, I mean, the this is really the the East is just it's an enigma. I I think there's yeah, probably more teams in the East that can make it to the finals than there are in the uh in the West. Um I think in the West this is really it's a it's a two-team race, and I think in the East you're looking at four or five teams that can possibly make it to the finals. And yeah, I think right now with a healthy Boston team, they have the experience. Um Jalen Brown, I mean Calguy, he's playing out of his mind. So uh yeah, I I think um I think Boston's probably the team to beat, but I wouldn't be surprised if uh Detroit, the Knicks, um a number of different teams could uh possibly make the finals there for that East.
SPEAKER_01Well, in the East, you know, I'm from the East, gentlemen, real quick. The Knicks bother me in a seven-game series because you know, if Kat does nothing, you're relying on Brunson and OG Anobi to carry you, and that's not enough. I agree with you with the Celtics, and I hate the Celtics, and you do two Rayheads, but my hawks won 11 a low, 11 in a row, Marlon, and red ass. And that's something to behold right there. We're stuck in eight. You know, that doesn't make any sense, you know. But, you know, Miami lost and uh Philly's lost. It might help us. Give me, give me a series. I just want one player. I'm not naive to think we'll go deep, but that's a that's that's something else in Atlanta and in a football city and a football state right there. But the Hawks have won 11 in a row, man. And we get Houston. We're gonna try to help out the Lakers by beating Houston tomorrow on the road. You know, so yeah, shout out to my Hawks. That that's really all I got, you know.
Hockey Update Then Tennis And Soccer
SPEAKER_03Okay, all right. Sounds good. Well, shoot. I told you guys we got a quick one for you guys. Uh we'll we'll definitely dive in uh next week and get a more in-depth episode. Of course, we got the our first Doc Mark is gonna be coming up pretty soon, so we will dive in.
SPEAKER_02Oh, oh what about hockey? Oh yeah. Bring it up, right here. It's hockey real quick.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm I'm I'm looking at at my uh my LA Kings. They're fighting for that last playoff spa right now. Uh like the three-way race with um with Seattle and uh San Jose Sharks. I mean, yeah, I mean I'm uh right now I I I thought they were they were kind of dead in the water after the trade deadline. They didn't really do too much, but uh yeah, you know what? They're starting to come on hot a little bit. They've been streaky, I mean just uh win-loss, win-loss, win-loss. But uh, they're still in the thick of it. So uh hockey we got a couple more weeks before the uh the end of the season, and so yeah, I know I think it's uh gonna be an exciting uh end of the season with the way this new uh playoff format is.
SPEAKER_01Well, no big answer he's a I I think he's an Avalanche fan and all that, but yeah. Do you see them going far, real quick, Ray S? The Kings, you know?
SPEAKER_00No, I don't see them going far at all, but I just I just wanted to extend this uh the show even longer.
SPEAKER_03All right, okay. Sounds good. We we all have uh not everybody can be at home uh under the weather, but over the weather, if you if you get what I'm saying. But uh yeah. No, this was a great episode. What else do you have? You want to talk about uh you you want to talk about actually I'll talk about some tenants in the Miami Open. You want to talk about that, Est?
SPEAKER_00Well, you know what? I did I I did I did love that match the other day with uh Sabolenka and um the uh Kira Kira what the hell is her name?
SPEAKER_03She has no cue in her name. Elena Rabakina, she has no Q in her name.
SPEAKER_00With a K. Kiblanka. I mean that was a that was a great match with the three of them. With three sets into the entire thing. Three of them or Sabolenka was able to You said three of them, it's only two of them. I said it went three sets.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay, okay, yes. It went three sets. It went the distance. Yeah, no, it was great. It was great.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was it was a great match. So no, I'm no don't worry, I'm on top of my tennis. Okay, all right. So the uh the master yesterday watching the uh UEFA uh Champions League. I mean, my uh Newcastle uh magpie has got their asses beat against Barcelona, so they're now bounced out of it.
