Throwback Thursday Astros (4-2-20)

This is dry when Josh Gray drive support is without telling Tonio was on in Charlotte this morning and said Matt was going to win a Super Bowl for the Carolina Panthers and you think it's hard to stay positive. Why does São Paulo believe this is a Philly guy who always has to say nice things about guys were connected to that city. He says no. This sound you're about to hear comes courtesy of our friends at WF and Z right away that rule is going to be a success is going to be a great great head coach me on a call for a long thought the Panthers are going to win the Super Bowl. That rule is gonna be good and not only that, I'm going to top it, he's gonna win a Super Bowl. Others who sell cooking dislikes up Allen W now I don't want to be to God to urinate on the party Robert. He just wants some optimism. Aaron he wants me to completely play down this path that rule going to be a Super Bowl champion.

Everybody's good to be happy in such but the odds are against him right Panthers had an MVP quarterback. A defensive player of the year on that team and a two-time coach of the year and that wasn't enough to win a little bit of luck, Teddy Bridgewater. I like him I think is a good quarterback is he a Super Bowl winning quarterback, probably not be Jimmy garrotte below, but Jimmy G was on the team that was loaded everything they were supposed to do.

They probably should've one that Super Bowl. They probably do not then, but the difference maker was simply, you have Jimmy G. The Chiefs had Patrick Mahon was the difference maker the Colts.

They do everything better as an organization in the Houston Texans. The Texans they win the division. The Texans they don't do anything as well. As the Buffalo Bills do it organizationally sounds weird to say but Brandon being as things turned around new ownership in their but the Texans they win that playoff game because they have a better quarterback. South Carolina needs to get that figured out if rules can win a Super Bowl also. Right now Robert in all sincerity right now who is the Panthers best defensive player who's the best defensive player on the Panthers at this moment honest question is going to be. Take a short right KK seems like the answer. Maybe Shaq Thompson, but if I'm being honest if you asked me is that Kia Pro bowl perennial Pro bowl linebacker or just to do and it has to be one of the two. I'm probably going to choose just to do. I would agree with you.they Jackson, he has moments, but he's not an elite player that Super Bowl team had Josh Norman when Josh Norman was a thing. Take a short was also on that Super Bowl team. So there's a lot that needs to happen before now and then and it's more by São Paulo. He likes Matt rule to say a great thing that no one's gonna remember if he never went to Super Bowl V or six years in the dirty secret with what we do in this medium to see a lot of people say things that are going to happen, three, four, five years from now, and if they get it right all day will remind you, but if they get it wrong.

Nobody is going to remember it whatsoever.

Hashtag sports radio so many great coaches haven't won a Super Bowl so this is me saying rules can be a bad coach. It could be great, and still never went. How about we just out with the wood riverboat Ron Ron's good coach.

I don't do a great coach. He maximize the talent he had. He never lost fewer than five games, five or six games with the Panthers's entire tenure. This is an organization that on average is 500 as as an organization through 25 years but think about the grades who have never one Marty Schottenheimer Sam Leitch Bud Grant Bruce Arians Dan Reeves Barb Leavy and he read it took him 20 years. He never had the quarterback just bad luck I got a McNabb not good enough.

I got Alex Smith not good enough. I got not peak talent. Michael Vick not enough, now he has the homes it took him over 15 years to get here.

But he now has the quarterback anyone he got a stroke of luck. It took a while also is coming from college that adds another layer to this for every Jimmy Johnson out there. There's a Lou Holtz there's a Bobby Patrina for every Pete Carroll that's out there there's a John McKay or a Butch Davis for every Barry Switzer that's out there there's a Steve Spurrier or an owl grow and Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carroll and Barry Switzer. They did a lot more winning in college and that ruled I do like his approach, though.

I've liked his approach. So far he's looking for a very specific culture.

The foster David Tapper has insulated him with the funds with the resources he needs in order to get what he wants. He's gotten the assistance he wanted, including Joe Brady as the offense of coordinator and everybody he's brought has some tie the temple to Baylor to Matt rule is assistance. Robbie Anderson an example of that.

He's brought in PJ Walker the assistance or some tie their whether it's Russell Okun's connection to Pat Meyer or Joe Brady's connection to Teddy Bridgewater.

They're looking for something specific is bringing in guys who understand that your thoughts are welcome on twitter at sports. A 336-777-1600 a lot of stuff happening in college basketball right now in the ACC were to talk to CL Brown about that just landed in the last two weeks, a big man on the grad transfer route.

They landed Patrick tape. This is less than a week and 1/2 ago. Patrick tape just he committed from Duke so what is that tell you.

Should we read into it and think Vernon Carey might be deciding to return to Duke may be attached to Stanley and that rotations a little bit too much. Will discuss that Georgia Tech it's official. The NCAA says that they have served their postseason band but then just not participating in the ACC tournament that got canceled halfway through was enough to warrant it being a postseason band or Georgia Tech since they weren't there, so that's newsworthy Bubba Cunningham is good to be a part of the NCAA basketball committee. He's good to be taking the spot that Kevin White has had it Duke previously so I guess the state of Northville on a basketball.

It still raining supreme. There and some sad news for Wake Forest as its former basketball great coach Carl Tacy passed away this morning at 87 years old. One of the three all-time winningest coaches for wake basketball a couple of elite eight appearances as well so were seeing a lot of statements from Wake Forest from the athletics department and from Danny Manning expressing their condolences to the family and celebrating the life of Carl Tacy speaking of Danny man John Curry I think is a chance.

John Curry may have already made his decision on Danny Manning saying he's gonna stay awake and we just don't know it yet. If that's the case I want to hold anything against them. I tried to reach out to Wake Forest yesterday to get Danny on the show to get even John Curry on the show. They said for now they're going to pass. Completely understandable. With everything going on as they try to get things straightened out.

As we all try to figure out where the athletic departments are going to be where college sports is going to be when this is all finished but current, he's a different ADD. Then Ron Wellman was. He has a different approach. A more modern approach Wellman when he decided to keep Danny his first reaction was, let's have a press conference and to be honest with you it was a pretty awkward press conference.

Usually when you have pressers your reporting news hey we just signed this guy. Hey, we just drafted this guy hey we have a new head coach they were firing this coach that press conference last year was hey where not doing anything you want to talk to Danny sure it was just a really awkward press conference so Sadie might do a different type okay for keeping Danny why we have a press conference just to say keeping Danny is under contract.

He's expected to recruit is expected to approach next year the same way he has in the past five years, five or six years. Also Danny. He's active on social media, he's recruiting like he is going to have a job next year. It seems the exit interviews got done because he's doing team meetings on zoom at seems to be a good sign. He signed into law that grad transfer from Houston Baptist to I fix could to be a starter at shooting guard immediately replacing Andrea and white lesson this is what I think it comes down to the only way I see a change being made at this point, considering the economies in the tank considering business people are frightened all across the country, so much so I don't see anybody lining up to pay $15 million, which would cost to buy out Danny, in addition to trying to raise funds in order to get the next basketball coach. I don't see that happening anyway but the only way that can change is if Tom B. Brown and Olivier Saar transfer route or try to leave early to go to the MBA and they haven't done that, at least not yet. But is it the say that can change that can't change but Michael when he transferred out earlier in March and as Dubois was coming in to Ron Wright Junior decided to enter the transfer portal so as longest so far. And Sean D are a part of this program wake is a really good team coming back, what I believe is Danny strongest on paper what I believe is it NCAA tournament team so they might view it as okay where we could pay $15 million to potentially disrupt something that could be an NCAA tournament team that's a question why CL Brown in a little over 15 minutes… I'm all about cam Newton rumors, but there is one that just needs to stop. This is the drive back on the air dry. Use sports talk drive with Josh Griffin on sports hard CL Brown, one of the best college basketball writers you're gonna find the has his own site, CL Brown, who found and he's one of the people that warned me about the FBI investigation of the college basketball right when it started. Okay, what, why did they in the investigation as early as they did on top of that, why aren't any of the people speaking to the government. Why is it any of it being corroborated at all. So I found that interesting. As I watch the documentary the scheme on HBO. Earlier in the week they viewed two nights ago CL now joining us. But before we get to that the breaking news of the last few hours. Patrick tape, who was a recent Duke commitment from. He's a grad transfer big man that was expected to potentially start from Duke next year really good. One of the top grad transfers out there just D committed from Duke and I wonder CL when you hear that happening considering just how sure how affordable while ago. He was a he committed to do. Should we read into this any deeper as it relates to other Duke guys on the roster. When you see that a guy of this guy's a guy like this guy's stature decided to transfer and to Duke and then to commit for me personally know it. I don't read anything extra intuitive manner going or anything like that when you look at it you got in recruiting him kind of late in the game. He was heavily considering their cues for USC and Ohio State were the other three major ones. Georgetown was also in the mix so when you think of the class that that that do Coming in it what it was that the kid think about playing time and you know amount of touch is that Mac felt quite happy with them actually factor into the tank. Not like they don't have a lot of horses regardless of say a burning carry Junior or Matthew heard somebody that day as opposed to tire approach, so their number think that could affect it, and I'm not sure that clearly it it had to do with somebody day and that's not uncommon to have a list. For example, last year he looked at the landscape and thought you'd be better off playing somewhere else and that happens at some of the top schools especially when recruiting as many good players as a place like Duke is but when you look at Duke social media having a lot of wind. Elmore featured in it. Coach K said that he's going to be one of the three guys he expects to test the waters along with Trey Jones who of course is declared for the NBA draft, Cassie, Stanley is a guy that's interesting, but K hasn't said he expects them to test or to come back the other player.

He said of course was going to test his burning carry as you kinda noted there if you had the gas out of Hertz out of Carrie Stanley and on top of that, forgetting one I am window more who comes back to Duke if you had to guess today will update window more for sure comes back to Duke, he didn't really it really show his full potential. You know, yet the injury that kept them out a little bit but he may he never gained traction to me. He was always kind of what I looked at as a cool guy that beginning of the year who you know would need a couple years before he was polished enough to go pro I noted here going to be a down year in the NBA draft.

So I think some people that you know that may go higher with normal year, but I'd be very surprised when billboards, Junior, elect to leave campus and I probably think second that you hurt, I would expect him also to come back mainly because from a strength perspective. He didn't really you know he needed body need year he cannot NBA ready for you cannot NBA ready to go with it.

Obviously never stop anybody before, they certainly will draft up a potential but I don't think I don't think he big enough on the radar right now to take that leap.

CL Brown with this year on Twitter at CL Brown hoops me to stuff CL Brown hoops.com how surprised would you be at this point if Wake Forest builds off of Danny Manning well this is where different times right everybody right now probably in the home confinement so you know I think it is going to temper.

While we haven't seen the normal private coaching carousel that we would be at this time of the year probably save Jim Kristin's job. Minutes $1 million buyout and he's back yeah yeah for sure and I think I think that that may have to be considerably with so what happened at Iowa State where essentially you know, a lot of their coaches. I don't know whether to call it a pay cut or did I giveback program but you know their 80 with talk about how 25% of their coaches amount for 75% of their salary so you know with the shortfall that gonna be coming here so whether it's immediate and the next evening or the season after that we take hold. I think 80 have to prepare for that and not knowing how to start. What happens with football, you know, obviously, most campuses that the Cattle so perfect. But the one thing about fall back on right now that you know we be normally final for weekend so it's not like were that far advanced in the schedule to where you look up like old man made a change. It unanimous and so it could just be that that the powers that be awake or wait for the airtime to clear out with with everything that's going on in terms of the pandemic right now or or it could be you know that his job is safe and you coming back but to get back to your question. How surprised but I'd be if a change is made at this point, I wouldn't be surprised.

Still see for me the issue is just its $15 million and weight doesn't have as deep of an alumni base to pull from.

I know you got the bin Suttons and you got Mitch's out there who have been known to pour money into athletics when they need it, but every businessman shook.

Right now, and even the things clear up when things necessarily get better. I know it's not the most rare thing for a coaching change to happen in May, we seen it before.

Thad Botta, for example, was fired in the middle of May. Bought on top of that the financial aspect of things.

If 20 Brown and Olivier Saar decide to stay awake.

I believe it's not hyperbolic to suggest that this team like the way it's currently comprised with even the blobby and added from Houston Baptist. This might be Danny's most talented team you'd think that is plausible. This roster right now might be the best. When he sat John Collins on this team will meet a date. Make the tournament with that came in and certainly help but like bright Crawford with with the big big pallet under you know in an Danny time thereto, but it would be down to look at the frontcourt as possibly you know wanted a better one than the ACC. My questions with this theme is still going to be how how the backcourt holds up you know with with me getting experience last year but still not being met. You look at it like okay disguise the rocksolid guard. You know, come in and connected it didn't have a learning curve as well. It is blobby good coming from you know one way lower level went undefeated, but not a gauntlet and got one of the ghetto. A lot of times I feel like people. People mistakenly think that the transfer grant transfers, plug-in and make things better when certainly I'm in Carolina found that out this year when they were depending on Christian healing and just appears to play bigger roles then you know they ended up not being able to really fill those shoes so, considering that part of it to the backcourt to me would be a huge question that by I what you I witness anything on paper right now. This would be to help out the team. But, at which that they definitely have them play to take another step forward CL Brown with this one of the best college basketball mines that I know CL Brown hoops.CL Brown hoops.com you can find his work like I give you credit when the FBI investigation first went down.

When we first learned about it in October or November 2017. One of the first people I talked to you said wait and see on this because I want to see who corroborates what some of these people are saying turn out a lot of it was a co-op corroborated and we saw earlier in the earlier this week, the HBO documentary.

The scheme granted it's from one perspective one lands the Christian talk inside of it. There were a lot of flaws with this FBI investigation. I still don't know why the FBI took up this case specifically, but based on all the information you gained in the last 2 1/2 years. I don't know if you watch the documentary at all, but it's all public information. What is your opinion of this investigation. Now is when when it first went down to me. The FBI really had no case. This would this is a matter of you know you can look at moral and ethical violation and sort of speak, but not a crime you know what I mean, that their case with Blimpie to begin with, to me almost seem like entrapment. If I was serving on the jury and and I did pleaded documentary which kind of polarized is kinda different when you're hearing and seeing as opposed to just reading transcripts, but it did seem like the FBI was so worried about trying to get something that that to me that they they painted this kid who really is a nonfactor and you think of the general scheme of college college basketball recruiting name you know he was a very very small fish only went to his house.

They asked him what you give us Rick Patino yeah that's crazy grant like an old down really by the AA years will it wait will wait I mean that that is AA is mind-boggling, mind-boggling to the best man.

I hope you're doing well hope your stay and say thanks for spending time in your home area manager home turf in the triad area therapy CL Brown on Twitter at CL Brown hoops CL Brown hoops.com you can find his work up next.

Why this draft is set up for the Panthers to win big.

Keep it here on the truck try Josh is safe.

I'm so frustrated with Robert Walsh. Right now he's so, so much trying to take this wheelwright so determined on trying to steer the direction we're headed in that he keeps throwing things my way.

He says Josh I have an idea. This is only happening because places all across the country. Sports talk radio shows they're doing all this creative stuff that they want to do if there were actual games to be watching.

How about we throw out there. The senior citizen sports that you would most like to have all of the field of battle. I write like this is what you want to do and you're saying to me Josh. I got this great clip of O.J. Simpson talking about talking about Carol Bastian of Tiger King saying that he thinks that she did it that she said her husband to the Tiger now you tell me Adam Golder early afternoon host is with us now apparently has a submission in here. So fine.

I'm unwilling to go down this path. I'm fine with the Adam gold.

If you have a senior citizen to go to war with. Who is it a great that's that's that's the that's tough to beat Tom Brady. The answer here and what were going down this path of ridiculousness on Twitter at sports him try it at Josh Graham radio. I simply asked the question which of these do you find most annoying mispronunciation appellation state Eastern Carolina University Raleigh Durham is one place.

What bothers you. I know the third is not a mispronunciation but I know it bothers many North Carolina incorrect name. What is their mode. North Carolina of those Eastern Carolina bothers everybody rather you because it looks were just talking about a general locale then Eastern North Carolina is good thing.

But if you are referring to Carolina that's not Eastern North Carolina is not a thing. What if you're from the parts north of North Carolina and somebody said appellation I need appellation is on Twitter at Adam gold man. Sorry, but I call Appalachian State because that's what they call but if I'm just referring to Appalachia bothers me where you stand on the Raleigh-Durham front when people say, hey, are you from Raleigh-Durham. I'm a little tired of complaining about the metro area Raleigh-Durham and actually Fayetteville is a metro area.

I'm okay with it. I just think it do you believe that one way the small little bit back. I'm sorry sports talk.

I watch the natural for the first time last week.

Great point and I can talk into that but I don't think that's a movie you should be poking holes into like why is Roy Hobbs what is clearly in his early 30s or he looks like he's in his early 30s at the beginning of the movie being sold as a high school student that is 50. It's a lot of holes you can poke through the natural I'm not to do that like to do that with a lot of the sports movies out there but getting the basketball Danny Manning, do you think the decisions already be made been made and we just don't know about it that Wake Forest might've said hey Danny your good were not to do one of those awkward press conferences like we did last year. We just say you're coming back here. The thing about actually started to talk about it. We got distractible drafting people for their lunch orders today so I don't know what what what happened.

Barbecued platter sidelight to get it. Barbecued platter comes with letter platter quite comes with Hush Puppies fries and coleslaw looks about to make a case for Georgia Tech, Josh, that is not the climate to be doing a national coaching search anyway far more important things Western Carolina gave a pretty good example of this moved on from there. Basketball coach of 17 years. Don't know his name matter, they don't do a national search which they were intending to do basically elevated the affected don't know his name either not to be going through coaching search. So to me.

Probably not the time to be doing that Wake Forest or anywhere else. I do think that many will probably get another year and all I will only save the ability that they I don't think Danny is great to get one more year, I think, to prove that he can also it's not like there isn't any hope for this team. I I've made the argument CL Brown. He disagrees with me and I respect his opinion, but the roster wake has has two all ACC caliber players on Olivier's all right 30 Molly cc Johnny Brown to be something he certainly qualifies is that I believe the journal beneath because for the last six games you scoring at the double figures and wakes been raving about this guy even before he started doing that.

We started seeing it publicly are in the games at the end of the year. I say MUC is he's back.

This is an older team than the 2017 team. I think on paper, this might be Danny's most talented team. What do you think when you look at the dates always been a problem for young but everybody never thought Young was a just not done well enough without so that's gotta change for Manning BDP word if they were better late in game over the course of better defensively as well. Over the course of the last for five years. It would have a lot more with so that I did pretty well. They have not retained and they have not maximized the talent what it so do I have any reason to believe that change. No, not really, but I do think is going to get another year because I think were going to be dealing with this pandemic, which will probably delay the resumption of support for month as opposed to you know, 6 to 8 weeks and I just did.

This is not the time to be to be moving on. Not to mention I would imagine disposable income to change so that I think you get another year but about player retention and maximizing their roster more than anything ago but this Eagle fan on Twitter.

It's the Adam gold noon to three that you can listen to each day right here on sports saw the news last night that the open championship in late July has been canceled.postponed canceled and the U.S. Open is postponed.

That's an announcement from earlier this week I reached out to the folks at the Wyndham championship which is three weeks after the open championship at just got canceled in Greensboro for comment were to have Mark Brazeau on the show and they said they're still trying to figure out what the heck is happening over the next few weeks before they're going to have any comment on what's happening here but what you think about the Wyndham championship which I think is the triads crown jewel when it comes to sports each year.

Great event last year and what if you years ago when Tiger showed up.

The only times I just laid there. You would make championship meet. Literally, they were like the on the first team when I watched I could feel it was saying to be there and I walked around talking to people like you will note this is the first time I hear got bad. He may never come back. I think golf is the most likely support to return because it can be easily played without. I don't think all coming back in and I think if it does come back, they will probably try and get major championships in as opposed to regular tour event, but I frankly don't think I U.S. Open which is Westchester, New York. At late I haven't seen that canceled or postponed yet but I did see was that they were going to make it a decision on that little of this month, which frankly I don't even know why you're waiting because the epicenter of coronavirus in New York is 5 miles from Fort Rishel actually did a Google map search is actually four point Eight Mile Rd. waiting for you Rishel. I just don't see that happening on the US. Waiting for the Army and I golf digest before your closely denied New York Post as of today the RNA could be additional report on the open championship was was published by Golf Digest and yard. A light note that none of that's true. I think we if they want to delay canceling the event. I ultimately canceled. I just don't see being able to conduct the without having played any event between you two weeks ago and will be getting the middle of the summer, when it should be with Mikey on the other side of this card.

We don't know where England is going to be wheeled over the UK is going to be when we get to that point. But I'm all for hope that these things happen. I just don't think any of the gold but this year, noon to three tomorrow morning to hear from you tomorrow at gold spinning sometime all right. Robert give me give me the senior citizen you'd like to have in a battle right now. I think in a world where the snow covered 19 of course I think because I don't think you'd want to senior citizen by your side at this moment. I think I'm going Hulk Hogan still ripped he's still massively 666 get takedowns to Aaron where you going to have all phones and you can have orange alternate or installed along Bobby Knight. Bobby looked rough a few months ago.

You might share the main affiliate think it's the first toss.

Can I hear from OJ for sure OJ on his Twitter just leading, just lending comment to Tiger King and Carol Baskin will Yours truly I just got back from the golf course were actually pretty well now it's back home back to the couch to back to television, listen to people. My kitties asked me to watch some show call Tiger King well yesterday I watched the show and oh my God is America in this attaché I was about six episodes of the show and I couldn't believe what I was looking at white people, what's what. You are well will this show is crazy but is so crazy you, keep watch.

One thing I will say is not a shred of doubt in my mind that lady's husband is Tiger sushi right now I'm just say take care and hope watch.

He's a delightful man when you don't think about the fact that he probably killed two people on the horizon probably will probably this is not a hold of the law of the civil court did I could say probably say whatever the hell you want to show will know I can't say whatever the hell I want to actually good with the ramifications, but you could know.

Robert has a button. He's obligated to push if I say certain things not if Josh said it I probably just let it slide this test. Let's not there invite you to join us in 30 minutes to play the return are throwback Thursday baseball game but a prominent NFL media member says Matt rules going to win a Super Bowl. Is that plausible.

What's next on the drive. No mercy here.

You're on the drive. Josh Graham and the tough times we turn to one of our favorite segments all last summer we figured out who the Nickelback's of major league baseball were not the best players of the 2000 not like the chipper Joneses of the world, not like the Derek Jeter's we were looking for Marcus Giles is out there.

We were looking for. Not necessarily a Miguel Taha but maybe Ajay Gibbons would do from the Baltimore Orioles swum a fan of. That's what we did all last summer and we did it with errands who were sharing with me or Sharon with Darren you might know them from USA baseball you might know them from a ton of other places you might know them on twitter at Darren Vaught. He's back on the shelf and hey Darren how are you my man, I'm doing great so in past visits. We said that we were to bring the segment back and we were looking for the band of the last decade since the decade just finished up who was the most like Nickelback and what we came up with was imagine dragons so were not doing the Nickelback's of major league baseball. When I look for 2000 players anymore looking for players who best encompass the decade that just happened so not necessarily the best guys were not looking for the Miguel Cabrera types or the Mike Trout types were looking for more average but memorable players of the last 10 years that were calling the imagine dragons of baseball. Robert hit the imaging major league baseball brought my top five best players in this is the imagine dragons of 2010 I am so excited for and I think this might be more difficult to do the Nickelback going to be absolutely going to I think were to find it hard were relevant enough, not good and we I think there's a ground rule we got that right out of the gate not count or feel currently playing. It's a great question. I think if there currently they still can be. They could still be a imagine Dragon.

However, they need to be definitely trending downward like they clinic you had a good year in the last few years. So let's go ahead and knock out guys in the team that were doing today looking for Houston Astros the Astros with a team of the off-season. Everybody was talking about the Astros before we knew what coronavirus was so let's knock out ones that we know were not eligible for the José out to Carlos Perea, Alex Bregman, for sure. Dallas Geico for sure what you think about Yuli Curiel.

I got a good to recent Josh Reddick as well. I think Marwan Gonzales is not eligible either even though in their very very very bad day. He was a natural now very okay. I've got three here that I think of the absolute last three that I think are unbelievable and one at the very top. Darren, it's a picture. Do you think we have the same one at the top of our list. I'm ethical but we can say them out loud. I don't think we have.

Let's not do that. Just give me one Wade LeBlanc to secure no no to obscure. I don't know who we want is trouble with. I hear with the early thousands anyway that definitely can dictate the 20 think the best one on my list is Bud Noris, Bud Noris is the very top of my list and he's joined among the pitching core by Brad Peacock, Brad Peacock's really good might border on security because it's a wonderful day.

I know who you say I want to save time. Absolutely. I also have another great name, but I think it might be to obscure leftfielder LJ hose. Both are true great name for your doubt that it's not not of the data Dragon if you would like to submit by the 777-1600 Robert deserving and imagine Dragon 777-1600 want to play along. In terms of headers. This is, I think the definition of the game. If you're looking for a definition of what were looking for.

It is designated hitter Evan Gaddis really tiring not RIP RIP Evan got faithful playing career 240 I got another wildcard here so LJ hose way to obscure my flyers is he is the imagine Dragon. Your players go. I think right. The only reason people know Mike Myers because he uncovered everything. He's the one that whistle blew the entire Astros deal again. Before that I would qualify did everything perfect for me. Another couple of position players first baseman in particular Brent Waller to obscure Chris Carter catcher Jason Castro best one that I've done with whatever they live about with the 29 and 22 record only played for the Astros and spent seven years in the league. Lance McCullers Junior dam right that like your picture Bud Noris. Maybe not. I don't matter all right you have anything left.well, don't count, but it's interesting to me that 2013 was the first year you went back to the right order old school but we know it is a way for like the crimson and gold type correct, but they had some guys on that roster who, if they work Nickelback. They're very good major leaguers to date JD Martinez on that team yet.

That time definitely does not who were on that team. Rick and kill and Eric the door back back Rick and I'm out.

I think putting together our lineup here Bud Noris of our pitching staff is blood Noris Mike fires Lance McCullers Junior Brad beat Brad Peacock and I'm trying to think of some of the ones that you just threw at me. Who else would round out our pitching staff of Noris Peacock, Lance McCullers, Junior and Mike fires.

I need 1/5 starter there a little claimant we can grow in there like dying and had Roger, you can't say their name. This is not what were doing. Probably not all right, Darren. That's the first edition of the imagine dragons of major league baseball the Astros be in this week's team. This know what we got you. We are sharing with Darren. It's an abbreviated strength is Darren is confined to his home even though you play golf earlier today I did. Bill so we played a weird format but I get it. Well, like I'm comfortable saying, well, because of the format not comfortable like bragging on the score which of these do you find the most annoying Appalachian State Eastern Carolina University or Raleigh-Durham is one place. Raleigh-Durham is one point not going the other because I understand the concept. The market area is probably Appalachian like that Appalachian on either way, the heart or show that bothered me because no one in the Appalachian that way the man down. It's good to hear from you. Of course got into their bodies on Darren but will do this every single week. Robert doesn't know what to do because Robert doesn't know any of these guys.

Aaron, if you think you don't know much about baseball. Let me introduce you to one Robert Lee Walsh not a baseball guy in any way yet until Robert, I'm a little bit of baseball. Some he knows some praise print tweets and just got in the car and I hate I missed baseball no more Astros I can think of for the last 10 years who fit this category, Isaac. It's good to be a lot harder to do this. The Nickelback trying to think I'm looking at my list Colby Rasmussen.

He doesn't belong all shoot we need to get Darren back in the line.

Can we do that please think were run on a minute summer. Oh no, I have one question I have to ask Darren oh my gosh I can't believe I forgot to ask him about these two players I feel so ashamed this this actually hurts my feelings, I forgot to ask Darren about this, we have Darren Darren, I forgot to ask you about two players.

I was really excited about this. I had it written down in ERIC Bedard. Waddy Rodriguez though one wanted to make a real goodbye think I know. Thanks for doing that.

We lost him in the knees back is Danny Manning safe and we just don't know it, that's next on the drive, providing you with a kind of sports programming that makes some people. Most people just went on a drive with Josh ESPN's good to be broadcasting what I believe to be the greatest football game of my lifetime later on tonight USC facing taxes 2006 Rose Bowl last night I was watching 2016 game seven NBA finals between the calves and Golden State. Cleveland's first title since 1964 and it had me thinking is that the most impactful, most significant NBA basketball game that's been played let's say in the last 20 years since Michael Jordan finished up with the Bulls, is that the most significant basketball game that's been played in the NBA coming back from a 3 to 1 deficit something that's never happened in NBA finals history beating a team that had the NBA record and wins Golden State team and on top of that I just mentioned Cleveland winning a title for the first time since 1964 Lebron winning Cleveland that title.

In doing so returning like he said he would and delivering on what his promise was the fact that it was Lebron and it was his finest moment. I think his signature moment beating that Golden State team that is one of the best teams we've ever seen assembled the come back the quality of the game block by Lebron Tyree Irving hitting the shot.

I think that's the most significant NBA game because if it doesn't happen that way if Golden State went. I don't think they break up that team. I think Harrison Barnes returns. I don't think Kevin Durrant decides to join Golden State.

I really don't.

And I think it changes NBA history.

I really do. If Golden State runs back the same way Cleveland has a better shot against those warriors in 2070. He has a shot in 2018 to Lebron.but with Kevin Durrant joining Golden State. It was a wrap was to happen so 2060 II put that up against any other game. The last 20 years or so that's been played in the NBA significant if you disagree on Twitter at sports of drive-through 367-1600 maybe there's a blind spot I've had. Maybe there's something I haven't considered in terms of Texas, USC will get to the Danny Manning stuff and a bit I do that to be the greatest game of my lifetime ballgame because it had the perfect story arc you're talking about two unbeaten teams taxes USC. You can't have something in the NFL that feels as big as two unbeaten teams meeting in a championship game. There's nothing you can have in that sport that feels that big the Rose Bowl, something that feels that special that stadium.

It doesn't hold many games that game there that place. It represents something and having Keith Jackson broadcasting at that time the atmosphere was perfect. Story arc was perfect. If two unbeaten teams and still a legitimate favor and USC because they won the previous year yet Texas is down. Come back. We love underdog stories.

We love comebacks and improbably they snatched one away from that line at Reggie Bush and Pete Carroll in the final seconds with Vince Young.

Also, just so many stars in this game amidst talent on display 62 players who played in this game went on to play in the National Football League. Think about that for a second. Teams are only permitted 53 guys and a handful of them don't play in the game 62 that played in this college football game dressed and played in an NFL regular-season 14 first round picks. I'm trying to think Robert will even have that in the NFL anywhere team has two teams meeting each other and having seven first round picks a piece going up against each other like that's unlikely to get doing the guys to play that long and to keep guys on their second contract keeping first round picks together 14 the lot. In the NFL.

Then you have just for these two teams 38 players who had been picked in the first three rounds, so the tell if legitimate stars Vince Young Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Jamaal Charles background versus Pete Carroll we have the story Matt Brown told earlier today on social media where I hadn't heard this before. He told us what he was doing the day of this championship. I hadn't heard the story before Max one of our favorite – one of the best storytellers you can find among coaches. This is what he said he was doing the morning of that championship game in 2006 national championship you're sitting in your room by yourself.

Crowns are so crazy you moved your team to the hotel for your what you tell what you tell them before the game so I'm sitting there and I'm not sure what's going on TV and I see this show. Crazy 330 minute so that once all three love Mac adding in their little crazy as if we don't know what's up with Jerry Springer so he takes that to the locker room and here's how he implies that the guys who probably did except to play the biggest game of their life tell you something. So change your life for the good help you when the game changer life. I have all locked their assets so everything would show your support everyone raise their hand to my amazement the last of the limitations I learned this morning to three shows if your girlfriend or your wife ever ask you to come on the Jerry Springer show no good brother and now that we didn't come here to be uptight. We got a good team. We just have to be yes try to do too much. Let's go enjoy when the national I feel like he might've been warning a couple of his guys who might not have known hey Vince Young, stay away from Jerry Springer. It's good advice from a coach.

Maybe some of the guys are familiar. Jerry Springer will be one of the few shows we can all come together as a country and admit that is garbage television doesn't mean you're not gonna watch it, but we can agree. I think on racial grounds on gender grounds, age grounds, we can all come together in unity as a country and saying Jerry Springer that is a guilty pleasure TV show, by definition, right Robert Ruth so that's what Mack Brown was exposing to his guys and another reason why I think Texas, USC is the greatest football game of my lifetime. It had multiple memorable moments a good game lucky to have one great game you might have to this case there are three that stick out to be more than anything else.

Three memorable moments that still stick with Reggie Bush the fumble where he feels so locked in so comfortable he's having such an incredible year.

He thinks he can cut it back from the left sideline and then try to lateral the ball wherever he was laterally get to was stunned. He would even try to do something like that gives the ball away the text doesn't do that.

I think USC wins the title it's one possession game. USC has the football it's late and I don't want to give it back to Vince Young fourth and one fourth and inches.

Everybody remembers Bush but I bet most people might not remember Lindale white couple years with the Titans Chris Johnson when he was drafted there. It was Chris Johnson and Lindale white. That was a good combo for a few years, but in college. He was just a bruiser.

This is a perfect goal. I'm back massive earthy round in this column the goal line, which is impossible to stop selling the situation you're giving him the ball fourth in one you feel very good. If you're Pete Carroll you feel good after Steve Sarkisian and Lincoln altogether on the same staff and Michael Huff had an incredible jump in the boat.

It was the Huff stuffy stuffed inside to give Texas the ball back and of course the moment that everybody remembers from this game.

It's fourth down because of course it is less than 20 seconds. Vince breaks out of the pocket. Keith Jackson has a great call. He wants the corner and he's got it's the greatest football game of my lifetime because of the talent the stores on display 62 laying in the NFL 14 first round picks 38 in the first three rounds. It's the perfect story arc. The perfect story told, and it had multiple. I think three memorable moments you can draw from. Even today on twitter exports of dry at 336-777-1600. The phone number Wake Forest. I think isn't in a position to make a move off any manic if they wanted to they may have already told Danny hey you're coming back now that I'm for sure. Exit interviews have been done. Wake Forest last year, they announced that Danny was coming back. It was an awkward press conference but that's a different idea and Ron Wellman different PR staff. It's a different approach.

So there's a chance he could already know he's coming back because it seems like he's recruiting like it in social media. He's quite active. There, I do believe though you cannot convince me otherwise. I do believe John Curry wanted to make a change a month ago he saw the report from David Glynn the final week of the regular season that wake had started negotiations with Danny Manning's camp on a buyout. Negotiations began. It didn't happen, but also let's remember that reporting never happened last year. Either we can have that when Danny Manning return if you're going to buyout negotiations you're close to it being over. I was still it's just a matter of details. At that point, but I also was told that Jim Krista for sure is gone. So this is before the world change these things can be accurate. Both of them that they were negotiating a buyout.

And now the circumstances are such, we don't know if we can raise $50 million in a buyout. We don't want to do that.

We also don't want to raise the money, get a new basketball coach in here all these things can be true together. So if you're just gonna fire off at the ACC sports Journal report for being wrong. If Danny does in fact come back. I do think there are instances decisions made that a guy is going to go or you have the intent on firing somebody and then for whatever reason it doesn't happen. In fact, I know a local precedent for this. Let's go back 20 years, where Coretta credible outlets in Chapel Hill had reported even CBSSports reported that Carl tore by had been fired. Carl tore Bush fired at North Carolina. After some average seasons. He was 10 and 13 in two years replacing Mack Brown. Even though he was to allow in bowl games he had under 500 record. He was set to be fired and the report says that Dick but Dora refused comment on tore Bush's job status than tore Bush kept his job.

Porpoise came back in 2000 but we learned after the fact that the door didn't tell people that he was firing toward people. People he was going to do that.

It wasn't a lie. It was factual. He was going to fire up that he changed his mind and the world change in 1999.

The way that it's changing right now. I believe Wake Forest had the intent of getting rid of Danny man. I do not negotiate a buyout. Unless that is your intent, but circumstances change. The coronavirus outbreak it saved Jim Krista and his job at BC and I think it's going to save Danny Mannix the only way that changes is if Olivier Saar and Johnny Brown transfer. They haven't habits of the go Pro. I see them in the zoo meetings or lease the screen grab that Danny Manning put up on his twitter page. So if those two are back wakes got a pretty good team and they have something to sell your either selling hope, selling success. Weight doesn't have a lot of success to sell, but there is the hope with this roster, which we been covering the last few months it's pretty good. It's looking pretty good for 2021.

Robert what he got taken to the house. Sometimes all you need is your granny to the words of never been spoken protected to the house and
