Listen, you guys know yesterday and today are just amazing, monster college basketball games. However, I gotta get off topic here. I know Rob is, you know, he's a great producer, radio shows, podcast. I don't know if he's gonna like this, but I have to just tossed in a little men's basketball league action. As you can tell from the voice, it was pretty good. So this is crazy. We had to face Tima fe Mosgov in the semifinals, and last year we had to play Mosgol in the semifinals. We were super nervous. Mosgow no showed on his team. He had to go back to Russia. And listen, Mosgov's seven feet tall. He's still in it, I believe his thirties. He just changes the game. You can't drive when you got the seven foot are in there.

You just can't.

You just can't.

And this year I tried to get Mosgov on our team and he said, I send him the schedule and he's like, nah, man, I can't I'm probably going to be out for the playoffs. I was like, oh, oh, okay, all right, fine, great, we don't have to worry about them in the playoffs. So we had to play his team last night. Now, this is an NBA guy with nothing to prove. He made tons of money in the NBA. I think the Lakers game in that big fat deal he was on the Knicks and NuGet blah blah blah. So I go to the gym to get in a little workout Thursday and I see Moscov and I'm like, oh, yeah, man, I got hurt in another league.

I can't play tonight. And he's like, yeah, I'm not playing tonight either.

I can't play tonight. And he's like, yeah, I'm not playing tonight either.

I was like, oh, he had to go to see Ovechkin, his Russian friend, play the King's play against the Capitols at Crypto.

I was like, oh, he had to go to see Ovechkin, his Russian friend, play the King's play against the Capitols at Crypto.

So he said he was going to that. I was like, oh, man, yeah, I understand. You know, he got missed.

So he said he was going to that. I was like, oh, man, yeah, I understand. You know, he got missed.

And then we talked for a few Man, he's an interesting guy. Man, he really is. I thought about getting him on the podcast. I don't know. I'll have to clear it with Rob and see what he says. But at the end, Moscow goes, by the way, do you know who we're playing tonight? And I go, man, I'm just so depressed because of the injury. I don't even I didn't even look at the schedule. Meanwhile, I knew we were playing Moscow, so then I quickly exited the gymnat tech Star crew.

All right, Mosgow's out tonight.

All right, Mosgow's out tonight.

We got a shot and Rob might find this funny. After that, three guys on our team we only had eight healthy bodies. Three guys were like, oh, I can't make it tonight, and I'm like, what the hell.

Do I don't.

I don't think it's because Mosgolf was out. They thought we had the easy dub. Anyways, I'm injured.

I can I can't. I'm still limping. So I was like the sixth man.

I only played like four or five minutes, but we got an amazing victory.

He was good.

If whoets a former US point guard. Anyways, we're in the championship. It's a rematch of the game we lost last season with Richard Jefferson. So here's the drawback, Rob the big lead into this. It's on the opening night of the NCAA tournament. And Rob knows that is my favorite freaking weekend of the sports yere Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

It's off the hook.

And now he got a championship game, and it's like, listen, I love the tournament. We obviously we were talking about doing the Calcutta again. You guys remember that, the gambling, and I'm a little torn. Obviously, winning a championship and hanging another banner that's top priority. But Days and Nights of Jason Mcatarred, I'm chewing up some time here because there's not a ton of content. Obviously, there's one huge college basketball story. I'm gonna we'll dive into the NFL obviously a little NBA, not much.

But I do need.

To address the passing of former columnist and sports book author John Feinstein. Way back in what the late eighties early nineties. He was a legendary Washington Post sports columnist. As I've told the story, I would wake up in the morning my parents got the Washington post delivered, I would pull out the sports section and they had Cornheiser, Will Bond, Ja Donde, Rachel Nichols, and John Feinstein.

I mean they had tons of people. Everybody.

I mean they had tons of people. Everybody.

It was like just a home run crew. It's like the twenty seven Yankees on the Washington Post in those years. And I would read, fine, See, he's just great on college hoops, which I loved. And when I got to when I started the Big Lead, I had him as I interviewed him I think once or maybe twice, and he was a great guy. Now other people say, oh man, he's ornering. That guy's tough to deal with. I found him interesting and awesome. He wrote a great book, Season on the Brink with Bobby Knight, And if I had my bookshelf behind me, I would be pointing to the book because I have it. It's a great book. It's a muster read for any sports fan. And just you know, the guy was only sixty nine years old. Like what sixty nine years old? Guys are dropping dead.

Don't don't tell me. It's probably the facts.

Don't don't tell me. It's probably the facts.

Let's not go there. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. But just a you know, rest in peace to John fins Seine. Anyways, let's just quickly get the college basketball big story out of the way before we get to the NFL. And that's Cooper fly bags injury, Cooper flag first half against Georgia Tech, goes up to corrala rebound, Lambs on an ankle, turns it and is just grimacing in major pain. I mean it was instantly, Holy cow, this is bad news. Now he was carried off by teammates. Then he was in a wheelchair to get the MRI. As of this moment, they're saying it's extremely doubtful that sorry long shot was the term they used that he's gonna play tonight against North Carolina in the semifinals. Obviously that would be foolish to play. Bro just power down, sit out the entire weekend, get you get until they would the Duke is likely to get the number one seed in I guess the South or whatever, and they would be playing in Raleigh, which is close to Duke, and they don't play until Friday, so he would have a full week to go. Mister Miagi on that ankle to get him to play, I think that's the move. As a matter of fact, they're facing a sixteen seed. They don't even need Cooper fly.

You know they're gonna be fine. They're gonna win. I don't know that they're going to cover. They didn't cover against Georgia Tech.

You know they're gonna be fine. They're gonna win. I don't know that they're going to cover. They didn't cover against Georgia Tech.

I think it was like twenty two or something, and they actually trailed and then came back and won by like I don't know ten, But I don't know, Rob.

If I'm chiming in here, if I'm John Shire, it's.

If I'm chiming in here, if I'm John Shire, it's.

Like, no way are you playing. Who cares this shit about a freaking ECC championship. We're out here to get the Natty. So I would not even consider playing him, And frankly, I would consider holding him out next Friday down that they may need him in the eight and nine game on next Sunday, because I'm just telling you, these SEC teams don't have the record to be seated high enough. So if some of them were gonna be like seven, eight, nine, ten seats, it's this is going to be a crazy NCAA tournament. But Robbie, I think you're probably with me right you hold him.

Out absolutely, And let's just say, you know, I'm glad that the X rays were negative a Cooper flag because anybody who saw that video clip. If he didn't watch it, I'm sure you saw it later when he came down and he immediately goes down in a heap. He has to get carried off the floor by his teammates put into a wheelchair Paul Pierce style. And then you saw the screen grabs on social media of the video of him on the wheelchair, his socks off, and his ankle had already swoll up like a grapefruit. I mean, it looked really, really bad. I mean I was expecting some kind of fracture and thankfully there wasn't. So that's number one. Number two, I agree with you sit himut as long as possible. I believe John Shy already kind of said that. You know, I would not expect him to play in the ACC tournament at all, just it's not worth it. Here's the thing that was brought up by it was CBS Sports spracketologist Jerry Palm that Duke is likely to be very quote tight lipped about Flag's injury extent over the weekend, specifically because they're worried that if he's listed, is out or they say, hey, he's gonna miss three weeks, two weeks, whatever. That the decision makers will then drop them down a line in the bracket. Yeah, I think if that if that is the case, and I don't Again, this is all contingent upon them saying that we're going to be quiet about it or we're not going to reveal his injury extent. I think that would be such bullshit.

Now.

Now.

I saw some people saying on social media, not anyone repidable, but people saying, hey, well, you know they did that the Florida State in the college football playoff when their quarterback got hurt, and and you know, it's.

Kind of the same thing.

Kind of the same thing.

Really, Yeah, And I was really trying to wrap my head around the mental gymnastics it takes to compare. Was it Jordan Travis right out for the season, they're undefeated and then they got bumped out for somebody in the playoff, and they try to compare that to Cooper flag spraining an ankle.

Now, obviously it was a bad sprained ankle, But.

Now, obviously it was a bad sprained ankle, But.

Even if he is out for the first weekend, like you say, I don't foresee any scenario where if it's an ankle sprain, that he would automatically be ruled out for the rest of the March Madness I just don't see it.

Even if he is out for the first weekend, like you say, I don't foresee any scenario where if it's an ankle sprain, that he would automatically be ruled out for the rest of the March Madness I just don't see it.

So it's just it didn't look like a high ankle the one that's that's really troubling, right at worst two weeks, which would put them on hold until this week sixteen. I don't see that being the case. I think, yeah, that fsu thing. I had not seen that. Thank you for this is why Rob's so good.

By the way, the first halves did bounce back. I don't have the itally in front of me, but they were better. I did have a losing night because I bet on the Lakers first quarter.

Again.

Again.

Now, I did chase that money by betting the Bucks in the game. You don't need to hear this. Yeah, let's just pivot to NBA since we did. Cooper Flaga will save save the NFL for the end. I don't know, Rob, I see I see some consternation among Laker fans that they were blown out in Milwaukee. Hey, newsflash, you're probably gonna get blasted tonight in Denver. Sorry, And I don't think it's gonna be a big deal. So the good news for the Lakers is that Luka Doncic was absolutely cooking. He had forty five points in thirty six minutes to get to sit out much of garbage time. The bad news is, you know, not everybody else was stepping up. Gabe Vincent, the hero, so heroic, a couple three for ten shooting oh for five on three. He missed I think three corner threes in a row in the first quarter, and then they instantly were like, all right, get Dalton connected there.

Dalton connects is a better shooter.

Dalton connects is a better shooter.

Gave Vincent's good but the Lakers have no chance during the stretch. Guys, they started Alex lenn at center. He will not play in the series, probably in any playoff series, unless it's garbage time. Like that's what we're dealing with here. They're missing their entire front court. No Lebron, no Ruie, no Jackson Hayes, no defense. The Bucks had seventy one in the first half. Bucks could have hung probably a buck forty here if they even tried. I don't know, I didn't might take a were Kyle Kusma looks strange in a Bucks jersey that's number one. Number two is I like what the Bucks did with this Kevin Porter off the bench. He's kind of a heat check guy who can go nuclear, and he can also shoot you.

Out of a game. He's lapped a lot of people in the rotation. He is like a gunner.

But I looked at this team for the Bucks and I thought, wow, Like they weren't even force feeding Giannest.

But I looked at this team for the Bucks and I thought, wow, Like they weren't even force feeding Giannest.

It's like they knew that this was a rap.

He only played thirty minutes, but he didn't He only took seventeen shots, whereas like Gary Trent took a lot, Order took a lot, Dame.

I mean, he took thirteen free throws, which is almost as many as the Lakers took.

I mean, he took thirteen free throws, which is almost as many as the Lakers took.

But I don't know, Rob.

But I don't know, Rob.

I looked at the Bucks and I'm like, oh, these guys aren't terrible. But again, it was against a Lakers team with a decimated front court.

I looked at the Bucks and I'm like, oh, these guys aren't terrible. But again, it was against a Lakers team with a decimated front court.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, to put it lightly, the Lakers as currently constructed are terrible, and it's not their fault.

I mean, to put it lightly, the Lakers as currently constructed are terrible, and it's not their fault.

It's injuries.

It's injuries.

Any team that's missing their entire starting front court is not going to be good. Their upcoming schedule and we've talked about this at nauseum now for about a week where they play six games in eight days, three back to backs, and I think they played the Bucks twice.

I think they played the Nuggets twice. Like they're playing good.

I think they played the Nuggets twice. Like they're playing good.

Teams during this stretch, right even if they're fully healthy, that's a tough stretch and for them to go into this that's why I think tricking away that Brooklyn game was so bad.

Teams during this stretch, right even if they're fully healthy, that's a tough stretch and for them to go into this that's why I think tricking away that Brooklyn game was so bad.

You mentioned Luca.

You mentioned Luca.

Luca was great, you know, he put on an absolute show, especially in the first half when it was still kind of competitive. For me, the silver line was Austin Reeves because he had been really bad coming back from that injury, and he was really bad in the first quarter and I put out a tweet like, man, he's on the struggle bus since he's come back, and then he flipped the script into the rest of the game. Ended up finishing with twenty eight eight and three, you know, four to seven from deep. And I still don't expect them to win when they played Denver. I don't expect them to do well at all during this current stretch they're on right now. But if by the time the Cavalry returns and Lebron and Ruey and they's are all back if Austin reives is out of his little slump that he's in, and Luca regains the consistency that's kind of eluded him so far here in LA because he's number one, he's not in the best shape, and number two he had that really bad what was.

It a calf injury?

It a calf injury?

Yeah, this is only gonna go up from here.

Yeah, this is only gonna go up from here.

We just got to hope that they stay out of the plant, that the Golden State, who won again last night, don't keep winning and winning and winning, and then eventually somehow the Lakers ladled way down to six.

Well, I was gonna ask if Golden State's gonna play good teams this month because their roster, they're playing the dregs in the league. Feels like every night, I'm gonna take a quick negative tack. I'm gonna take a quick turn to negative town, Rob, And I just want you to file this way in case I'm right. I doubt I am, but I'm just gonna float it because it was in my head and I'm like, let let me just put this out there. So after the Nets loss, JJ Redick was pretty irate and I don't want to say some of it seemed to be directed at Luca, but he kept arguing with officials.

He wasn't a leg back. I don't do.

He wasn't a leg back. I don't do.

Do you think any of that tangent by Reddick was directed at Luca?

Do you think any of that tangent by Reddick was directed at Luca?

Absolutely?

Absolutely?

Okay, you do, okay.

Okay, you do, okay.

I had the thought that Luca was secretly pissed that he's getting called out because he's playing with a bunch of randies, and he went nuclear in this game, showing, hey man, I can I can get buckets and he dropped forty five, and he had an awesome block defensively, maybe the best block of his career.

It was like, oh my god, that's not Luca. That's Luca.

It was like, oh my god, that's not Luca. That's Luca.

However, why he took so many shots and scored so many points? Did you see he had three assists in thirty six minutes. Now, some of it is Gabe Vincent and everybody missing, but I think this was a Luca. Hey JJ, I know you're pissed, but let me just remind you I'm him and I'm gonna go for forty five and.

Nobody on the bucks can stop me. They tried everybody. Troy and Prince got roasted. Kuzmas, Come on, no, shot.

Kevin Porter was a victim so many times nobody could guard Luca. But I felt like Luca was playing in a manner, not talking to the refs, not unhappy, but he kept hitting shots and just smiling.

Guys. Remember, I'm really freaking good.

Guys. Remember, I'm really freaking good.

And I don't think it was like if there's any like tension or cold war between Luca and Reddick, but it does feel like there was a message sent by Reddick, and it's almost like Luca got the message and responded in such any thoughts on that theory, no.

I would totally agree with you, and thankfully for Laker fans and you know, guys like me and you, because JJ and Luca have a personal relationship that they were teammates, so they have that bond to fall back on. You can get away with that kind of stuff early because usually if in any situation with any NBA superstar, if you're gonna be that critical about him, whether it's directly or indirect, and in this case was indirect, you usually have to build up years of either high level winning, like you know, Phil Jackson would do that with Shaq and Kobe because he had already had six championships by them.

With the Bulls, so he had that gravity toss that he can say whatever.

You wanted, or you have to have some kind of relationship that usually is build up after you guys being together first the time Steve Cree, you get that a lot with him and Draymond Green when he calls out Draymond is because they've been together for so long that they can be honest with one another and still be cool about it.

And I think that's thankfully where.

And I think that's thankfully where.

The Lakers are with JJ and Luca, where because they're cool, because they have a personal relationship, I can kind of needle you a little bit and you can kind of needle me back, and then we're still going to be fine and we're still moving towards the same goal. But since we went since we went negative, I want to run something by you that happened to me this week.

Wait a minute, this is turning into a negative.

Wait a minute, this is turning into a negative.

And it involves a basketball take speaking of the Lakers. Actually, I was speaking to a former NBA player on Tuesday and it was about the Boston Celtics. And because you know, the Lakers laid the Celtics, you know about a week ago, we can have and Boston got up twenty and then the Lakers promptly came back. Lebron gets hurt and that's the end of the game, right. So he's telling me, well, you know, Bosson's gonna repeat again, you know, because they're just so good and and you know, teams can't handle what they're doing. And I said, yeah, until they run into Bron and Luca in the finals. And he laughs at me and he says, shut the fuck up, you don't know ball. And because we're funny, because we're friendly, I laugh about it is what it is. So the next day, on Wednesday, I'm golfing with some buddies and I relay this story to him and one of them looks at me as we're laughing about it.

He says, so what part bothers you the most?

The go fuck yourself or that you don't know ballpark? When I tell you you didn't think about it that way. And the second part about me not knowing ball crushed me for three holes.

Wow, Like I was like, you know what, I didn't think about it like that.

Wow, Like I was like, you know what, I didn't think about it like that.

But now that you say it, somebody, even if we're friends, saying you don't know ball, that kind of hurt a little bit.

It's not a big deal.

It's not a big deal.

But to hear someone say that that you respect, and I feel like I do know basket Like I wouldn't be in this business for a decade plus if I didn't. So when someone that you know says that, and somebody who obviously does know ball.

I don't know if that means anything.

I don't know if that means anything.

No, I yes, and and again I would agree with you. Again, I think it was just two guys having fun joking with each other back and probably but when when a third party points it out to you, it's like, man, maybe I really don't know ball.

So that anybody what he is.

So that anybody what he is.

So as I've told you, I've got into not arguments, but I don't mind going toe to toe on basketball knowledge questions, whatever objectivity, whatever it is with some of these former players that are at Fox. The guy who was harshest to me and a little scary was Kenyan Martin way back in the day. He was just defending his boy Carmelo Anthony and I went in maybe a little too hard on mellow. But I see Paul Pierce a lot now and we start talking because he plays hoops, and I tell him I play hoops. So then I tagged him on like an ig stories and he followed me. So then I tag him when I have basketball highlights whatever. But and Paul Pierce obviously is a pretty big time trash talker, and you know, he cuts an imposing figure. He's like six to seven former NBA player, probably made one hundred fifty million dollars. Got stabbed. I don't know if you guys remember in Boston, survived unbelievab I'm such a weird dude that I saw him one day. I was like, Paul, dude, I totally forgot about that incident you had in the bar or wherever fool hale and I was like, man, I can't believe I was just reading about it. I totally forgot. And he's like, yeah, you know, and he starts telling me about it, and I don't want to say I pestered him, but I was like, how does a how does an incident like that start where someone ends up coming to try to stab you? Because I in all the stories I read, I didn't really read that like the origin of the fight. It was like he got stabbed and barely survived, and it was clear he doesn't want to talk about it. But I'm a nice guy and I, you know, smiling, chatty whatever, and he ended up ended up giving me a sentence I'm gonna I'm not gonna say it. If he wants to reveal it, that's his thing. And that just stopped me in my tracks, and I was like, damn. And I thought about the phrase you don't know ball because I talked to Paul Pierre. I try to talk to him every day. The guy knows a lot about the NBA. Yesterday I gave him shit about Kansas in the NCA Torum.

Micah Parsons, the podcaster, goes on social media and says, this what rejection and envy look like? This some clown shit with the clown emoji. I think what Michael Parsons might be saying is Dallas rejected you and you're envious, so you're making fun of us, right, So that's what Michael Parsons said. DeMarcus Lorren's a veteran, the well respected veteran who does not have a podcast. Calling me a clown won't change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you've spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn't have left. Oh that's a freakin Haymakers.

At the end of eight Mile, when Papa Doc has just shook and silent because he's got nothing. I would guess ninety five percent of people went like this when DeMarcus Lord said that, because that's as accurate as possible, Like Boom roasted Michael Parsons for whatever reason, you know, I guess because he's on the Cowboys. If Michael Parsons were in Seattle, I don't think he'd be this I'm sorry not let's not pick it. Let's pick Tampa or Jacksonville. Rob Is he this big in Tampa or Jacksonville?

Yeah, we talk about him because he's on social media. He has good like He's had some awesome games, but overall, if you look at the playoff numbers, he hasn't done jack spot in the playoffs. And he's kind of a boombus guy. The Cowboys are screwing up this deal with him. He's got a podcast. He's just a lot of noise, a lot of sizzle, which is great. Hey, do you cash cash in off the field, get your name out there, set yourself up for a long career in the studio, but at.

They have like a top fifteen roster in the league. They got one wide receiver, quarterback. They don't have a tight end of running back. Sorry Javonte Williams. Okay, offensive lines and shambles. Defensive line, you know, was good, but injuries took their toll lineback and crews washed. Secondary is not great. They're not going to any Super Bowl anytime soon. So Rob, where's the beef. That's a very good question, j Mac, because just look at the numbers. I'll look at facts and not the fans. We all feel that the Cowboys not going to make the super Bowl. Just that's just what we believe.

Historically, the Giants have not played in a super Bowl or even been to a conference championship in twenty nine seasons, the longest stretch between conference title game appearances in NFL history. Okay, since claiming their last Super Bowl in nineteen ninety five, Dallas has not advanced past the divisional round, where they are zero to seven worse than the NFL during that span.

During the Super Bowl era, there have been just five quarterbacks have played in at least three division round playoff games without winning at least one. The Dallas Cowboys have two of those quarterbacks, Tony Romo and Dak Prescott.

So, no, you're not gonna make the super Bowl.

So, no, you're not gonna make the super Bowl.

You're not even gonna make the conference championship at this point. And while it is kind of tacky for DeMarcus Norris to say that on his way out the door. He probably would have been better off, you know, keeping that to himself. I will say that have some tact. At some point, Micah Parsons needs to stop being the on field version of Jerry Jones. He doesn't always need to comment on things. He doesn't always need to give you a SoundBite. Sometimes being quiet helps. I don't need to always have to answer questions based on something that Micah did or said or liked or posted or anything like that. We are less than forty eight hours removed from multiple television sports television shows on FS one and ESPN and so on and so forth. Reacting to Michael Parsons putting out a tweet about Brock Purdy and how the Bill's gonna come do watch out y'all And Michael Irvin, you're teammate at FS one, who is one of the biggest Cowboys supporters period, not just in media period. He's like, you know what, bro you can't beat them in the postseason. So I don't know if this is something you should be talking about. That's not gonna stop Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons has got into it with his teammates for his active team is not just the Marcus lawrence for things he said on his podcast.

I think, yeah, who was the cornerback right?

The corner said like, hey, sometimes I wish you wouldn't, you know, say that kind of stuff. And he's like, so, then what does Michael do? Rather than address him directly, he puts out a tweet, damn, bro we in the locker room together. You couldn't come and talk to me directly, which is not a direct way of talk texting either. So at some point you got to keep the main thing the main thing. And while this seems innocuous, not a big deal. Oh, you know, you're free to use social media whatever you want you and I U social media ever we want to. When Jerry Jones does his postgame commentary, it's really not a big deal. But inevitably he's gonna say something or do something or say something on a radio interview that's gonna cause headlines that other people got to answer for. And Micah Parsons is doing that again, over and over and over and over, and that's part of the reason why the Cowboys can't get past the division around.

Here's the dirty little secret, Rob. I think secretly, Jerry Jones likes this stuff. Always guess what they're in the headlines. They're leading all the talk shows, radio shows, websites. Everywhere you go, people are talking about the Dallas Cowboys. His franchise value probably ticked up a little bit on this, just because being out there in the ether, you know, a Carnival Barker, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk. These guys start businesses, and now being the CEO of a tech website, all you do is stir up news. That's what you want to do. You gotta just get yourself in the news. And oh, by the way, one team in the NFC has not been to an NFC championship since like twenty eleven. One team and it's a Dallas Cowboys.

So Oklahoma was down like thirteen, comes back, steals a full court press steal, score a layup to take the lead with like five seconds left. Guy on Kentucky goes the length of the floor. Tough lay up at the Buzzer in Kentucky advances in the SEC tournament. That the madness is just anyways. All right, everybody, have a fun, safe, drug free weekend.
