You're listening to Miller and Moulton coming at you from the Floor Meisters Studios. Floor Meisters keeping it real. And now here's Mark Miller and David Moulton. Top of the morning to you on this final day of March. Hope that we got off to a good start. Thanks for being with us. Oh, the heck are you Miller and Moulton? Miller and Moulton.com Miller underscore Moulton on X. Good morning Mark. How are you? I'm good. I'm wondering to all of our northern folk that listen, did it come in like a lion? Is it going out like a lamb? Isn't that the old thing with March? March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb when you lived in the north. Well, let me tell you, all right, it's been a heat wave in like the upper Midwest. I don't know about the upper, upper Midwest, but I mean, have you seen the weather through like Missouri and Illinois and then what have you in the last few days? I mean, they were in the 90s last week for baseball. It was 85 for the Royals home opener yesterday. Okay. Well, I know that it was really nice in Cincinnati for their opening game. And then by Saturday it was supposed to be in the 40s and I only know that it becomes someone text me and David, unless someone from the north texts me their weather, I've got a better idea of what's going on in NASCAR. All right. We're quick sidebar here. So who won? Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin let all those laps. And the guy that we thought and the guy that we follow stunk again. Well, he didn't stink actually led 14 laps, but man, his car went to the final 50 laps. He went from first of 16th. Yeah, well, 16th stinks. It's not ideal. He's in the teens every race. He's not good anymore. He had a bad year last year. He's starting out this year with a horrible year. So, you know, there's another guy root for that's already in the tank. You're convinced it's you now in Michigan State. The Red Wings are convinced it's you. No, I'm just convinced that the things that you know, I right now have to go because Stan say if I were to gamble, whatever I think is going to happen, I immediately go the other way. Okay. All right. Listen, somebody hit this parlay last night. I don't know who it may take a day or two to have someone produce the winning ticket, etc. But Mark, every team that was unbeaten in Major League Baseball through the first week weekend of the season, there were five teams that got off to a three and oh start and all five lost last night. Right. All five played first of all on a Monday, which isn't always going to happen and all five lost. Right. Well, yes, the chance of the Marlins going 162 and oh has ended because of all the undefeated teams. They were the one that was going to continue on the longest. But I will say, okay, some of the teams that were off to three and oh starts were playing some of the teams that got off to oh and three starts. And the windlass rose up yesterday and Major League Baseball and said, listen, it's baseball. Okay. You can be terrible. You win 50 games. I mean, come on now. White Sox and Brocky's getting off the Schneid at the expense of the Marlins and the Blue Jays and the Dodgers lost. The Cal Raleigh finally hit the ball and the Yankees lost. Yeah, it was a, you know, one of those days in baseball. You love this stuff. You love the nuance of baseball and yesterday was just that, if you know what I mean. Yes, there's an adage that you can go to baseball every day for the rest of your life and never see a 643 double play that looks exactly the same. I do like that about baseball. This may be a geeky thing, but I may just keep track of it for the heck. Okay. How many times the Rockies and the White Sox both win on the same day. I may just keep track of that. I like it. Well, I'm going to break some rules because I'm not supposed to be in crowds. I think this isn't really breaking rules. It's like going to a Marlins game as there really a crowd there. But next week I'm going to take in a college baseball game. Nice. South Florida plays our little school down in Southwest Florida there, FGCU. And when we had Joe Henderson on who covers South Florida, I texted him after the show and said, hey, is there a spot to watch South Florida baseball where there are all the people who are watching? I said, hey, is there a spot to watch South Florida baseball where there aren't any fans? And he said, yeah, there's a burn. And I don't remember right field left field. I got to look at the text, you know, right field left field line. There's a burn where no one's at. And he goes, if it's a weekday game, there's for sure nobody at it. So my son's going to be taking care of me next week. He's a huge college baseball fan because of where he went to school. They have a pretty good team even though this year they're off to a rough start. I'm going to go to a college baseball game. I'm going to mask up when I walk through the doors and then I'm going to get down whatever right left field line. I'm going to watch a little baseball. I'm going to think about you, David, while I watch baseball. Well, I'll reach out to the FGCU head coach, Dave Tullette, and put you and your son on their pass list so you can, you know, get in for free and save that money for the concessions. I love that's great. I'll even wear my FGCU gear. It's basketball gear, but that's all I have from FGCU. And it's also, I think, 12 years old. Listen, as long as it fits, it's okay. One of those comfortable t-shirts, you know, a lot can be said about a comfortable t-shirt. You can buy a new t-shirt and it just, whether it's under the armpits or whether the neck, it just doesn't feel right. That's why that old t-shirt that fits right the first time seems to fit right for a long time. And until that thing gets a hole in it, I'm keeping it. Oh, absolutely. Don't care how worn it is. Don't care if someone in your life goes, you're going to keep wearing that? Uh, yeah. Yes, I am. Yes, I am. But Miller and Moulton on this Tuesday, we'll talk a few different things today. All right. No Pat Kerwin today. NFL owners meetings are in Arizona. We said to Pat, get your rest. Okay, which, you know, means probably sleeping in an extra hour. He's so lazy. I can't believe he's not doing this show. He will on Friday, when he gets back from the owners meetings. They are at some point going to make it official this week. I think they're going to announce a Superbowl or two, which is good because we only have the next one and the one after it announced. Usually they go four or five years in advance. This time around, they're about a year and a half in advance. That's it. And believe it or not, that's a big issue for the cities that are hosting. Uh huh. It seems like, what do you mean you got a year and a half, but you're talking about blocking a lot of hotel rooms. You're talking about blocking areas of the city to do all the events that they want to do. You're talking about convention hall space, even though Radio Row wasn't what it was, isn't what it was, you know, a decade or two ago. But there are so many logistical items involved in having a Superbowl. This is bizarre to me that they're only two out right now, David. I'm not, like, I'm not kidding. Like, I think this is ridiculous. And you know that these cities don't know yet. I mean, this isn't one of those things you could just keep quiet because too many people in the whole city have to know. Right. I mean, just a little thing. We know some people that are in Lee County and Lee County government and the spring training not happening has those folks in a tizzy about the possibility of no spring training because they can't book other events. Because if spring training happens, well, then they're double booked and that doesn't work. Right. Then there's no hotel rooms for all the folks that are coming to town and, you know, staying for a while or you're going to catch a baseball game or two. And then what's going to happen is Major League Baseball is going to screw them and there's going to be no spring training. And at the last minute, there's going to be all these available hotel rooms in communities along the West Coast to Florida and in Arizona. Okay. And we'll see. Next February and March, you're going to get hotel rates you don't normally get. Maybe. That'll be one thing. But the other side of it is, I mean, just the venue. It's not like they can go book a college baseball tournament at one of these ballparks. And most of these college teams, you know, college baseball, which is not as big, but they all come south and they play at different colleges. You could have a really good tournament somewhere, but you can't plan that. You could, you know, you could have the LSUs of the world. You could have Texas. I mean, you could have really good teams, whether it's California teams in Arizona or whatever the case may be. And you can't do it. So, you know, it's, it's, and this is the Super Bowl. We're not talking about, you know, an event that's going to draw a few thousand. We're talking about an event that's going to draw a half million people to your town. Now, there are loud whispers. Because this year, this season, it will be Los Angeles. And the following season, it will be Atlanta. There are loud whispers that Super Bowl 63, the 2028 season, is going to be awarded to Vegas sometime this week. There are now growing whispers that Super Bowl 64 will also be awarded this week. And Nashville has been prominently mentioned. What is it next year? Titans move in? It's not this year, right? It's next year. No, I think it's next year. Bills are this year. And then Titans are next year, I believe, for the moving into new stadiums. And then we'll see the Browns and Bears, you know, how quickly they can get those things built. But Nashville will be a very amazing city for the Super Bowl because that city has something going on every day. Yeah. I mean, that's as busy as Vegas as far as, you know, tourism and conventions and things of that nature. And they've obviously added a ton of hotels downtown in the last, you know, five to seven years. But that's an interesting town for the Super Bowl. It is. The downtown is very small, very small. Correct. And it will be absolutely packed. Because remember when they did the draft earlier this decade, it was absolutely packed. Okay. But, you know, we'll see. We'll see whether or not Nashville becomes a regular. You know, if you're doing it in Vegas, then why not Nashville? Would it come at the expense of Atlanta? See, I don't think so. I think Nashville will be too crowded. And I think Atlanta, they have more than enough hotel rooms and more than enough venues to hold all the other Super Bowl side events. We'll talk a little and, oh, sorry, David, they are pretty close together, though. Yeah, they're, you know, about two hours and 45 minutes. I've made the drive a gazillion times in my life. I lived in both and went from one to the other. Miller and Molten. We'll talk a little NBA today. We'll talk a little Cleveland Browns. Hey, hey, how about that? Andy Baskin, our old friend, will join us on the show. The starting five, a mere 25 minutes away, the Pelican Roofing of Florida text line is open. I've got an idea for a poll question already. We're up and ready to go. The last day of March on Miller and Molten, MillerandMolten.com. You're listening to Miller and Molten. And now here's Mark Miller and David Molten. 21 minutes past the hour. Miller and Molten. MillerandMolten.com. Miller underscore Molten on X, final day of March. We're, what, nine days away from the Masters? We're four days away from the Final Four. Baseball season underway. We're down the stretch for both basketball and hockey. The playoffs will begin in less than three weeks. Tell you what, they're already firing coaches and GMs and hockey. They're getting a start on it. I like it. Hey, I mean, look, I know there's not a listener right now that gives a damn about the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Nope. But don't you have a certain intrigue with what they do in the postseason, given the fact that what eight, nine games left in the season, they fire their head coach. Yep. Who won a cup and took them to a cup, right? Took a team to a cup. Right. Took Boston to the finals and then won a cup in Vegas. Right. They fire him with two weeks left in the season. Basically. And they bring in a guy who's a nut job and he can coach. I mean, John Torterello can coach. There's no doubt, but he's nuts. He is certifiable. But he's one of those coaches, whether it was a buddy Ryan. I mean, we all know the guy. Runs hot. Runs very hot. But in the short term can be very effective. So I am fascinated with particularly if Vegas were to get out of their division. And then they match up with Colorado or the wild or the stars. I'm going to be more into the Western Conference early than I normally am. It's going to require some napping on my part. And I think I can handle that. But I'm fascinated. Like, you know, they have the leaves fired their GM. They're not making the playoffs. That really doesn't matter. But a team that's in the playoffs fired their coach with two weeks to go. Take any other sport. You know, and you mentioned in basketball, you think Orlando should do it. I do. What they did, the magic should do the same damn thing right now. Yes, I actually like the fact that the people running the show in Vegas, who by the way have been incredibly successful and yet go through coaches like their turn styles. It's remarkable how successful this franchise has been in the what eight years of existence. And yet at the same time, they've gone through like five coaches. I mean, they mess around out there. They have a short attention span and they don't put up with mediocrity or below average very long. But this team since coming back from the Olympics was one of the five worst teams in the league going back before that. Since like mid January, they're the third worst team in the league. And so the front office just said, well, it's obvious if we just do nothing, we're going to stagger into the playoffs and we're going to be out in the first round. And they're like, I ain't giving up on the season. I mean, they hired this John Torderella guy and they told them it's we're not giving you a multi year contract. We're giving you the rest of this year. That's it. They did not discuss 2027 and beyond with him at all. They're just like, we're hiring you. It could last three weeks. You okay with that? And torch is the kind of guy that is okay with that because he is he thinks he's a better coach than anybody else out there. His mentality to do the job he was given is perfect, David. And I don't know, you know, I couldn't name you the basketball coach that has a similar, you know, maybe tibetle would be the similar type guy in basketball in the NBA. I don't know. You know, I'm not I'm not as in tune with every NBA coach as I am maybe with the hockey guys that are out there. But, you know, football, I'm sure it's a good why couldn't it happen in football? You know, if you've got an OC in a DC, why couldn't it happen in football? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, well, it's remarkable how infrequently first off, Mark, there seemingly are very little in season hirings and firings and there are very little in season hirings and firings where you think it could make a difference. The Jets tried it a couple years ago. Remember, they fired Sala. I think they were two and three. And they thought, well, we ain't going anywhere with Sala. Okay, we're going to roll the dice and it blew up in their face. But, you know, I thought we'd see more of it because Art Shell replaced Mike Shanahan, I think in like 89 or 90. And the Raiders were off to a one and three start and Art Shell led them into the playoffs and won a playoff game. And I thought we would see more in season firings because of it. And how many of those can you remember in the last 35 years? Can you remember an in season NFL firing that worked and propelled the team to do something, you know, significant? But to me, the comp of this would have been, you know, first up, this is really late in the season. So the comp of this last year would have been firing Todd Bowles in mid-November when the Bucs started to fall apart. How about firing Todd Bowles in mid-December? I mean, there's eight. That's 10% of the season is left in the NHL when they just fired this guy. I mean, that's like firing before that big showdown game that they had with Carolina. That's like firing Bowles and saying, yeah, just we need a new coach. He ain't going to win. Yeah. But I mean, right now, you don't, you don't think when we bring this up that there are at least 70% of the Bucs fans going, they should have done that. Well, upon further review, but imagine if they had done it. Imagine if they had done it last year, even with a month left. Remember when they had that three game homestand, all division games and we're like, well, they're going to go at least two and one on this homestand. This division is going to be over. And they went on three and it was like, uh-oh. I mean, that would have been like, that's kind of what the Vegas hockey team just did for most of you who don't care or aren't paying attention. That would be like two games into that homestand if the Bucs fired Bowles and just said, wow, I don't think this is going to work with Todd. I don't even know if we're going to make the playoffs. We got to make a change to salvage this season. I'm not giving up on the season. We got to make a change. And then we'll see if it works in Vegas. But to me, the thing I've been thinking about, I've been trying to find who could have done it in a sport like football where it was maybe warranted. And to me, it's the Bucs last year late. It really is David. Yeah. I mean, they were six. And I know they had injuries. I get that things weren't going right. But you know what? Every team deals with injuries where there's a little worse than others. Yeah. But they had them all year and they had guys coming back. It's part of the whole thing. I guess it would have been now. It would have been scapegoating the head coach because the quarterback got hurt. But remember the Colts were eight and two and lost their last seven. You know, if they had scapegoated the head coach like four games into that seven game losing skin. But yeah, I mean, the Bucs were six and two and lost seven of nine. And that includes winning the final game. So they had a stretch there where they went one and seven. At some point during that stretch, what if they had fired Todd Bowles? What would the reaction have been? Could you have imagined Pat Kerwin on our, Pat would have lost his mind. Lost his mind, right? Lost his mind. But all it takes now hockey is a different animal. It is. I get it. But if it worked, well, then all these leagues are copycat leagues. You know, if Vegas ends up getting to the conference finals and placed deep into the conference finals, it will send shock waves through that sport. Well, Mark, what's remarkable is this famously happened once before in this sport. In the 2000 season, the New Jersey devils were a very good team, but they were kind of at home for about four to six weeks or playing 500 hockey. And their GM fired their head coach with eight games left in the season and brought in my Robinson, you know, the famed Canadians of fence, but what have you, who did not have a ton of coaching experience. And they went on to win the cup firing Robbie for Torrick with eight games left in the regular season. So we'll see if it works in Vegas, but I really thought not to talk about the Las Vegas Golden Knights. I wanted to bring this back to Bucks fan and say, you know, upon further review, maybe the Bucks should have. And the way players are leaving and saying things that they can't win there. I don't know. Maybe the Bucks should have Miller and more. The starting five is next. Welcome back to Miller and Moulton. Text the guys what's in your mind at 21,000. That's 21000. And now here's David Moulton. 22 minutes until the top of the hour. Keith Smith will join us. We've got some NBA talk, including last week quietly. The league met to try to come up with some ideas to get rid of this whole tanking problem that they have. And we didn't even talk about this last week. Did you see what Utah did in a game? And I'm guessing most of us didn't because it was the Utah Jazz game and who the heck cares? I mean, this is a hell of a show. I went Vegas Golden Knights last night. David's going Utah Jazz here. I mean, are you getting? We are. Just 30 seconds. Just 30 seconds though. I think people would find this interesting. This is tanking to the nth degree. Utah builds a 10 point lead with less than five minutes to go. I forget who they're playing. They call time out, take all five starters out of the game, put five bench players in the game, blow the 10 point lead and lose. By the way, you want to get rid of tanking? You hit them in the pocketbook for about $5 million for doing that. I'm not kidding. I'm not messing around here. Totally. To me, and we'll get into all the reasons later with Keith, but to me, David, if you don't just hit these owners hard in the play. And I mean hard. I'm not messing around here. Yes. Hot. Because if it's not two commas, it's not worth doing. And I'm not messing around. Mark, I hate to sound like Clint Eastwood on the porch, but all I could think of was if David Stern were still alive and still commissioner. Okay. What would David Stern have done? Okay. He would have taken a look at what the maximum penalty was. He would have called an emergency board meeting and he would have made sure he could triple it. Okay. Within 24 hours of the jazz doing it, they might have lost their franchise. He would have gone berserk. Either that or you just take the draft pick away. Sorry, you don't get a first round pick this year. No, we're not. We're not doing this because the jazz on top of it, they're sitting out guys for the rest of the year that are good players. Yep. Because this is very strategic what they're doing. Totally. And this is Danny Ains, by the way. Who knows how to build a team? I mean, he does, David. Yeah. He helped lay the foundation in Boston. Okay. And also the original guys I wanted to punch in the face. Oh, there's no doubt. Maybe one of the first guys that I really wanted to punch in the face. Mark, for the angst that you have for John Shire, I could only imagine what it was like for Danny Ains. My goodness. I mean, that's an OG I want to knock you out guy right there. I mean, LL Cool J wrote the song about him. David, we've got a poll question up. We need to get a sports one because this is not a sports one. It's National Tater Day. Okay. And I went with dinner potatoes and right away, Governor and the Twitch chat rooms, his breakfast potatoes are pretty good. And he's right. They are. I love me a breakfast potato. But I went mashed baked French fries, all grottin and all grottin and scallops are basically the same. Yeah. So if you come at us with scallops, we're going to go, I'm sorry, you're covered with all grottin. Please stop it. Enough. Okay. I'm just going to turn this down. I don't even know what I'm voting on yet because I probably had more potatoes in the last few months that I had in the year prior. I love me a potato. I'm sure of that. And while the question is posted and people start voting, it is time for The Starting Five. Five big stories you need to know. Here is the Starting Five brought to you by ever growing Lee County, Florida, one of the five fastest growing counties in Florida, Lee County, building a better community through business, sports and tourism. The women's Final Four is set all forward one seeds, made it to the Final Four. No. I know, shocking. All right. Texas blew out Michigan by 36. They were up 13 at the half and took it from there. Meanwhile, South Carolina TCU is an eight point game going to the fourth. And then the Gamecock said, you know, we got this outscored him by 18 and the fourth to win by 26. So it's South Carolina, Yukon Friday night early. Texas UCLA Friday night late. Late for Miller and Moulton World 930 Eastern. Women's Final Four, by the way, is in Phoenix. Wait a minute. Yukon and South Carolina are on the same side. Correct. So I mean, it is interesting. I think those are, I know UCLA's had a really good year. You have four ones in there. But Yukon and South Carolina are kind of the cream of the crop of women's basketball. I agree with that. And then you've got Arizona and Michigan on the same side with the men. I mean, I would think most people think the title games are getting played in the semis, if you know what I mean. That's all. That's just my little observation about the two final fours. I'll shut up now. Look out for UCLA in this Final Four. Men's Basketball News. NC State is hiring Rick Barnes last week. Spent like, they were about to play Iowa State. And Rick Barnes said, listen, I just got something to say. If NC State wants to hire a new coach, they said hire my associate head coach, Justin Ganey. Okay. This is what he does for us. He's an alum of NC State. He's been coaching 20 years. You didn't hire him last year when you hired Will Wade. How did that work out? And so NC State turned around and did what Rick Barnes suggested and hired Justin Ganey. Charleston, by the way, is hiring Akron's John Gross, who's been there nine years and did a really good job. NBA, Heat rallied at home, beat the Sixers, 119-109. Heat and magic are tied for the eight seeds. Atlanta got the better of Boston, 112-102. Hawks and Raptors tied for the five seed in the east. You know, the Celtics probably don't want to play the Hawks in the first round, do they? Well, and right now they're the two, so they wouldn't. Okay. Right now, the Celtics are going to play somebody who comes out of the play-in, but yeah. Listen, I don't know if anybody wants to play the Hawks right now. I know, but it seems that they've done a really good job against Boston where a lot of other teams don't. I agree. That's the only thing I'm saying. I know they're not going to play him, but there's not a lot of difference, although the magic in Philly and Orlando have kind of nose dived here recently, but there wasn't a lot of difference between these teams that long ago. And in fact, Atlanta winning and Philly losing last night, they were just separated by half a game. Now it's a game and a half. Atlanta has beaten Boston two times in the last week. Cleveland beat Utah in Utah by nine, and the Cavs are just a game behind the Knicks for the three seed in the east. Good one in Oklahoma City. The Thunder hold off the Pistons, 114-110 in overtime. The Thunder get to the 60th win of the year. Okay, I know you think it's me. SGA in the free throw shooting. He scored 47 points last night. Do you know how many of them he scored for the free throw line? 21. Put it this way. Duke fans, if they watch SGA go, wow, he shoots a lot of free throws. He shot 25 free throws last night, made 21 of them. The rest of the team shot seven. Seriously, this is a problem. This is the best team in the league. This is the reigning champions, the reigning MVP. He's officiated differently than the whole rest of the league. Jordan, Magic, Nate, Kobe, nobody's been officiated this blatantly biased in his favor than SGA. Why? They've got two weeks to figure it out because this is disgusting. He's not trying to score. He's intentionally trying to draw fouls. He's flinging his arms and legs everywhere and they're rewarding him for it. Unbelievable. Lakers beat Washington 121-1. Luke didn't play because he had too many technicals, so he was suspended for the game. So 41-year-old LeBron James, I know you hate him, right? Just a dog. Yeah, 41 years old, 21 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists when they needed them. Yeah, okay. Phoenix beat Memphis by 26. San Antonio beat the Bulls by 15. And Minnesota beat Dallas by 30. Most games in league history so far have been decided by 30 or more points this season than in the entire history of the league. By the way, Wimby had 41 and 16 last night. Yeah, and I don't know how much of the fourth he played either. No, it was the fastest double-double like in NBA history. He had it in a hurry. He plays hard every night. I really hope that Denver etches the Lakers because I would love to see the Lakers play Oklahoma City because I would love to see how that series is officiated. LeBron and SGA, I mean, who would get the edge in that? And Luca also, and he complained about every call. Okay, Blazers officially sold to a group led by Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon for $4 billion. What I find most interesting is that he had to sell off 1 eighth of the Hurricanes and he got over 300 million for them. That means the Carolina Hurricanes are valued at over 2.5 billion. How? How? It's Raleigh, North Carolina. Thank you. And it's great city, by the way. Great city, but it's like the 40th biggest market. Listen, if you were undefeated in baseball, you lost. All right, it's as simple as that. Marlins were unbeaten. They lost to the White Sox 94. Milwaukee was unbeaten. They lost to the Rays 3-2. Toronto was unbeaten. They lost to the Rockies 14-5. Yankees were unbeaten. They lost to Seattle 2-1. By the way, they went 5-5 on ABS appeals in the first four innings. Dodgers weren't beaten. They lost to Cleveland 4-2. Verlander's first start of the year didn't go well, gave a five runs in the first two innings. Arizona beat Detroit 9-6. Cubs 7-2 over the Angels. Braves are 3-1. They beat the A's 4-0. Mets are 3-1. They doubled up the Cardinals 4-2. The Nats are 3-1. They beat the Phillies 13-2. Reds are 3-1. They shut out the Pirates 2-0. Royals sell out. Home opener, 39,000 to change. Beat the Twins 3-1 on an 85-degree afternoon. Texas beat Baltimore 5-2. Houston 8-1 over the Red Sox. And the Giants got their first one of the year. They beat the Padres 3-2. Hockey. Pittsburgh was down 3-1 and the Islanders were on the power play mid-second period. The Penguins proceeded to score 7 unanswered goals. And win 8-3. They're in second in the division. I thought that was wild scoreless first. They had 8 goals between the two teams in the second period. That was a weird night. Right. Four of them in a row by the Penguins to end the period. Two of them short-handed. Toronto beat Anaheim 5-4 over time. Good point for Anaheim. They now have a 4-point division lead. But the big thing in that story was that, you know, Retko Goudis of Anaheim took out Matthews and tore up his knee. And so Toronto had to get revenge against him. I give Goudis credit. He was injured. He'd actually missed the last couple of games. He suited up to take his beating, okay, which he did 3 seconds in when Max Domi rag-dogged him. Okay, but he took his beating because that's what you're supposed to do. That's the code. San Jose. Two points behind Nashville with two games in hand after beating St. Louis 5-4. Vegas with the new coach, Pete VanCooper 4-2. And Colorado scored 5 in the first and beat Calgary 9-2. NFL owners meetings in Arizona. Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam quoted the saying to Sean Watson has, and I quote, a great chance with a fresh start, unquote, with new head coach Todd Munkin to be the starting quarterback in Cleveland. That's funny. What did he say? Was it Super Bowl Week, David? Or right around there? That we made a horrendous mistake. We swung and missed. Yeah. Oh yeah. Three months ago, trashed the trade. Worst thing he's ever done and what happened. Now, he could be our starter. Yep. Hey guys. Biggest story, however, is the looming lockout of the refs. The NFL actually set out a memo ordering everyone in the league not to talk about it. But then set out bullet points that if you do talk about it, make sure you hammer this. Oh, which is it? Super Bowl 62 hasn't been announced yet, but the word is it's going to Vegas. They may also announce this week Super Bowl 63 in Nashville. Actually, it would be Super Bowl 63 and 64. We just had 60. 61 is going to be in LA and 62 is going to be in Hot Lanta. And by the way, they've settled on Hard Knocks this year, Seattle. Next year, the Patriots. I don't ever remember them doing that before. No, you didn't. If you made the playoffs, you were automatically ineligible or you could get out of it. And so they've had to change the rules around. Seattle's never been on Hard Knocks. And this will be the first time they have the defending Super Bowl champion since the first Hard Knocks. If you remember in 2001, Hard Knocks debuted with the Ravens right after they had won the Super Bowl. And it's seven minutes before the hour. That was the starting five, five big stories you needed to know. Courtesy of Lee County, Florida.

One little footnote last night, you brought up the NHL and I know no one cares about that league, especially out west, but McClain Celebrini, the sixth teenager to score 100 points in a season last night in the win for San Jose.
