Alright guys, heading out for game four, leaving Casa Dwork, heading up to Tampa to see if the Panthers can pull off this sweep. We'll be meeting with Belly up at Amalie Arena and see what we can cook up for this. All right, we're outside of Amalie Arena. We are going to ask some of these fans some hockey

trivia questions to see if they actually know the sport, Dave. See if they know their stuff. We got some good stuff. We'll see if they're true fans. Yes, because we barely know our stuff, so maybe we'll learn something. Can you guys name an original 6 NHL team? Oh, Boston. Toronto. Montreal. Montreal. Don't help her. Oh, Montreal. Oh, wow. There you go. Hi. We're not on a team.

It's an individual contest. Joseph, do you know what year the Lightning won their first Stanley Cup? I'm not sure. Sometime in the 2000s. Yeah, 2004. Nice little range there. Not bad at all. Who was in goal for the first win in Lightning history?

It was not Pupa. It was before Pupa. It was not Pupa. It was before Pupa. It was not Pupa. It was Wendell Young. Oh man, I wouldn't have got that in a million years. Panthers fans, now for some quick Panthers trivia before going inside. It's for the Dan Leventhal. It's for the Dan Leventhal. Do you guys know the lady gold-tender that played for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a preseason game in the 90s? I don't remember. You don't know? I know she did. Yeah I don't remember her name. Shelby is not her name, no.

Maynard Rayon, that's her name. What year did the Florida Panthers reach the Stanley Cup final the first time? 1996. It's pretty simple. And who was the goaltender in that series for Florida? It's in the tip of my tongue. It's a long name to have it on the tip of your tongue. I know. His nickname is the same as a insect that flies. Oh Beezer, yeah. What's his name? Yeah Beezer, Van Beesrut. There you go, Beezer McKillicuddy, yeah. Do you know who scored the first goal in Tampa Bay Lightning history? We're the worst. Russell and Federico.

No. Who was the very first Florida Panthers draft pick? The bitches. I'll guess Van Beesbrook. No, it was a good guess. And who was the first Lord of Panthers captain? That one I don't know.

How old are you? 35. You should know these things. 5? No, I was 10 years old when that happened. I'm a fucking 5. What year did the Lightning win their first Stanley Cup? 2003. 2004.

Oh, it was the first for a season. OK, oh, 304. OK. We'll give half credit. Former Lightning goalie was nicknamed the Boo-lin Wall. I'll be Boo-lin. I'll be Boo-lin. Very good.

If you guys are wrong, then I can't be that wrong. I was half right. Well, I was half right. Well, so are you. You're half right. We're both half right. That makes one. That makes one whole.

Who scored the first goal in Lightning history? Oh, boy. We're not right. Well, I was half right. Well, so are you. You're half right. We're both half right. That makes one. That makes one whole. Who scored the first goal in Lightning history? Oh boy. Contos? Yes. Yes. First Contos.

I wanted to say Dingman. I'm like, nah, can't be Dingman. Well, who was John Bam Beesbrook's backup goaltender? Oh, I don't know. Guys, you said you were gonna ask me simple questions. Nice. I mean, it's pretty simple. What's like, for the last five years.

For the 96 Stanley Cup run. I was born in 96. Oh we got a problem then. Act of kindness. And you did nothing. Hey I love baseball. And I somewhat like kids. Alright we're back we just did trivia with some fans who made us feel kind of dumb. They seem to know more than we did. How do you know my everybody? Brian Strudeland. Big names here. Now we're going to head inside to the arena, see game four, maybe see asleep. I don't know what you think you're thinking. Chris Walsh.

100% asleep. Who? Chris Walsh. We don't talk about that trade. We don't talk about the trade. Man that's going be rough, man. Snuff that out. Oh. That's uh, that's not interference. Well that sucked.

Yeah, that sucked. Really, really, really bad. The puck was around. It was around. You know what they didn't do was, they didn't play that let's get down the business zone. Oh you're right. All right. A fan up there with some brass. Oh my gosh. Well that sucks. I said that it sucked in the first period, it sucked in the third period, the second period then it sucked and there goes the light.

Do you guys have a better nickname for a goalie ever than the Boo-Lin Wall? It's pretty good. For Bobby Boo-Lin, I don't know that you're gonna be able to do better. Dominator? What was the insect answer? What was that one, Chris?

Beesbrook, bee, it's a terrible clue. It's a terrible clue. It's a truly terrible clue, like an uncommonly bad clue. Not a good look for Panthers fans there. What was a good look though was a turnout. There were a lot of Panthers fans. And I guess there were a lot of tickets available on Game Time.

What? The mummified CBS football pregame show. Again, Angela Lansbury demo. We talk a lot about how CBS is going for 70 year olds. They're trying to capture 70 year olds. That show is about to change. The NFL pregame show on CBS. Out are Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason. In is Matt Ryan. Matty Ice, a younger Boomer Esiason and Chris Simms. How about that?

That's how they get younger. Or Phil Simms. Yes, that's a fun. Phil Simms, that's right. So go ahead and put your money in there. How about Rolly the goalie? Not as good as the Boo-lin Wall. Rolly the goalie. But Bill Cower's safe, right? That's all I can tell you. Bill Cower is still there. I knew that velvet suit was going to keep him on the roster. But J.J. Watt is also a

part of that pregame show. So those two are out and they replaced him with Matt Ryan and J.J JJ Watt. For the Coyotes last game they had a B-rider that had been covering them basically the entirety of the time that they've been in Arizona and he revealed that Hobby Poole and during the intermissions would just rip cigs, just totally be a chimney during the intermissions. Cujo is pretty good. Dan, can I do a little fan engagement here before we move on to the next topic? Clone Cartel tweets in, hey Chris, can I do a little fan engagement here before we move on to the next topic? Clone Cartel tweets in,

hey Chris, can I get the Titans day two grade? Sure, day two, Titans got a B plus. Wow. But they get day three. A B plus. And overall? A minus. Wow, they must have had a good day one.

Yeah, A day one. Those Tesla coils that they have at the Tampa Bay arena, frightening. It's actual lightning that they create in that building. Seems reckless. It really does not seem safe. Speaking of reckless, it is being reported now, Stugatz, that Tyreek Hill has 10 children, four of them in the last year. Ten children, four of them in the last year. Ten children, four of them in the last year.

And in my history covering sports in this market, I would say that there are very few players I have ever covered, Stugats, who have an amount of reported recklessness around them have an amount of reported recklessness around them that makes me wonder if we know this many things about how reckless your life is how many things do we not know about how reckless your life is it does not stand to reason that all the stuff that would give off recklessness imm immaturity, or a life out of control. All of it ends up on one player with the Dolphins more than any other, and he came here super

restricted by Kansas City. He has not been restricted here. He speaks freely as a star of the team, and the list of items that he has that is weird, Stugats, like a woman breaking her leg in his backyard playing football, house catching on fire, divorce papers that are filed that he denies that he's getting divorced. A salt allegation.

A fight with a moving company. Yeah, yeah, salt allegations. It kind of feels not as serious because there wasn't a reported firearm, but it kind of feels not as serious because there wasn't a reported firearm But it kind of feels like when John Moran was going through it a little bit. Oh, but there's more here there yeah, no in terms of volume you can you can judge like the actual like Crime in question. I use crime. Well Mike Dan is saying we're just finding out the stuff that's been That's the way that I talk about it. It's the reason there's more. It's my same takeaway,

and I don't know how to talk about this because I am judging it as someone that doesn't live his life exactly that way, that it does feel to me reckless, and right up to the line of being really erratic and bizarre just from what's reported, and I don't know how the Miami Dolphins actually have handled this.

Or if they need to, do they have a responsibility to? I asked you, this is tough to handle when you're taking on a reckless home life. But I asked you when I came in here one day, I think Tyreek Hill was playing on one of these gamer channels and I was wondering if it was AI or real when he is saying before all of these reports that if he weren't a football player he'd like to be a porn star, right? And I'm juxtaposing that against the way that Max and Hard Knocks sort of presented him to the public, which is not this, like it's the opposite.

The way that he was presented on hard knocks to the public was the very opposite of reckless. It's in front of a computer in his living room about to get married with his wife, going over their finances. Budgeting, yes. And when I see the number of things here, Stu Gotz, the number of things, if I tell you a team

had all of these things, not a player, a team, you'd be like, that's a lot of stuff. To have one player come down here in search of stardom, Stu Gott, and in search of the temptations that Miami offers because it's different than Kansas City. It's like a lot different what you might be able to get into if you're seeking stardom and then taking advantage of all the things that come with stardom in Miami. It's amazing that he found stardom regardless. With all this stuff swirling around him, he has still found stardom only in Miami, Dan. Hey, it's Mike. As you know know sports are a bit crazy right now. It kind of feels like

everything is happening all at once and you have to make some decisions to prioritize if you want to support your team or go out and see some of these games.

Our Panther group chat, we're confident against the Lightning. This is a different team.

You're a Panther group chat though. No, I think, no, but dude, you're so wrong on that. We've been terrified of this team forever. And I think there's a different energy where the Panthers, they want the Lightning. Stugats. I want t-shirts made for this Panther run, what could be this Panther run.

Our Panther group chat, we're not afraid of the lightning. That's a tagline for World Raw 3. This is the Don LeVatar Show with Stu Gatz. It is time for Stu Gatz to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy Stu. Weekend observations, brought to you by Miller Lite. Great taste, just 96 calories available for delivery.

Din, he's the gift that keeps on giving. Oh for his last two super teams, one playoff series win in his last two seasons six and nine in his last 15 playoff games including his master class performance this past week where he got owned by the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dan just like that make no mistake about it Kevin Durant is back a lot of failed big threes in his resume yeah he's got one in OKC one in Brooklyn and one in Phoenix now he was on one that worked pretty well and not because of him though any well They were good before he got there, but he just decided to willingly leave that one

Mm-hmm, just a very curious career That's on reflection record number of failed big threes Chris Whittingham got it Right when he said if you played a bunch of different computer simulations of how Kevin Durant could have made choices in his career He's made the worst ones on what he could have done with being one of the best scorers ever. You guys are coming around. Took you long enough. Nobody's taking championships away from him.

You're the only one doing that. StuGotsBook.com, check it out. Big announcement tomorrow, by the way. Big announcement is playoff overtime hockey. An extra session. You know why the Knicks beat the Sixers, Dan? They wanted it more. Oh, really? Yes. Craig Kimbrel, two blown saves this weekend. Always something with that guy. Death, taxes, and the Eagles and Ravens winning the NFL draft every year

They're pretty good at it Bradley Beal blah blah blah Devin Booker blah blah blah Kevin Durant blah blah blah LeBron James good luck staving off elimination Dan I feel like that's insincere from you that you're not actually wish I wish him luck LeBron James, good luck, staving off, elimination. Dan. I feel like that's insincere from you, that you're not actually wishing them luck.

I wish them luck. I don't think you are wishing them luck. Whenever someone faces elimination, Dan, I wish them luck. I do. I know it's an odd thing for me to do, but you're staving off something. Yes, do you stave off anything other than elimination?

I don't know. Is there anything, do you uncork anything other than a wild pitch in a wine bottle? Hmm. Dan, you know what the B in Jalen Brunson stands for? Balls. Big gigantic balls, you got it.

Jordan Travis, drafted in the fourth round by the New York Jets. Poor kid, just can't catch a break. Cody Zeller is a pelican. Kawhi Leonard, the rare career where two rings in two finals MVPs doesn't seem like enough. Really? Yeah. Really? Left some on the table. You think? I do. They've won both the games he hasn't played. They've lost both the games he has played. played they've lost both the games. He has played Hmm, he played 65 games this year, right? He played a bunch of games

They just weren't the last three weeks of the season So they're two and oh in the playoffs without him and I went to with him. That's correct Are the Clippers better without him? Ah So far they have been this season this postseason and and he's been bad because he's hurt He's got a lot of swelling in his knee and it's weird because they can't win the championship without him But they can't win it with him either because he's been bad because he's hurt. He's got a lot of swelling in his knee. And it's weird because they can't win the championship without him, but they can't win it with him either because he's got to be healthy. They need him to be healthy.

Knicks fans taking over the Wells Fargo Center. I never want to hear how good a sports town Philadelphia is ever again. You know what the P in Philadelphia stands for Dano? Pathetic. Emb Bede's right. It's the only thing he's right about. That cannot happen. Philly fans, you can't let that happen.

It's pretty bad. Yep. After the Knicks take this series, they should take the Rocky statue with them. Imagine that thing in front of the Madison Square Garden. Imagine it, the Mecca. You know they moved it? The garden?

No, they moved it to Philadelphia. They moved the Rocky statue. Why, where? It's no longer at the top of the steps. Normally people would run up the top of the steps and do the Rocky thing with Rocky up there. They moved it off to the side. You don't actually have to run up the steps. By the way, steps not at all hard to run up. Is it a liability issue? Did

they give an explanation as to why they moved that? I'm not sure. No good explanation that I heard when I was replacing it with Kelsey. Have you run those stairs? Yeah. Pretty easy. Yeah, pretty easy. Surprising, disappointing. I wanted to feel it in my chest Good acting from sly making it seem like those were hard to run me when you consider you probably took 17 takes I guess it's a little harder Cavs magic We're waiting. I Don't know. I actually watched some of that game and the Cavs were so bad in that third quarter They scored ten points in the third quarter.

Their bench had like four points the entire game. They were so bad. You can tell me anything is happening in the Cavs Magic Series and I would believe you. If a tree falls in the forest, but it falls while it's on NBA TV. Nobody loves a first quarter more than Tom Thibodeau. Thibs. He gets right after you. He does, he wastes no time. First quarter is as important as the fourth quarter

to Thibs, perhaps more important. He tries to kill you and kill you early. And he does. That guy. Billy, that was a Jessica yawn in the middle, a disrespectful Jessica yawn. No does. That guy. Billy, that was a Jessica Yawn in the middle. A disrespectful Jessica. No, I was tired. I'm a little under the weather. I'm tired. It's that time of season. Mm hmm. It is. I have them too. Candice

Parker retiring after 16 seasons as a three-time WNBA champion and two-time NCAA champion in my personal record book, Candice Parker is the real CP3. Stugatsbook.com. Here come the Phillies. Who would have thought having that leg injury would end up being the second worst thing on the resume of Jordan Travis Where was Travis projected to go before the drink like had he not had that leg injury was he a first or second round pick?

It's hard to believe those preseason mock drafts. There are a couple preseason mock draft first rounders that are you? UDF a's now the only mock draft you can believe is Greg Cody's. Yes. If you want to know why Greg Cody has a horribly swollen shut right eye and a giant bruise on his forehead, Greg Cody Show featuring Greg Cody, wherever it is you get your podcast. Fine.

Colts GM Chris Ballard cursing about anonymous sources and then saying, I apologize for the language. I don't but I do. Chris Ballard, the Stugats is strong in you. Down 3-0 in the series to the Hurricanes. You know what the Islanders did on Saturday by winning Dan-O? Staved off elimination. They lived to see another day.

Good guess though. I thought you were gonna do the thread throughout. I know. That's why you're unpredictable. Yes. Looking back at the show last week, it's embarrassing. We did a parade of gas bags for the heat,

not getting swept. Those things used to mean something. Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong. Jermaine Trotter Jr. is an eagle. Joey Porter Jr. is a stealer. Jeremiah Trotter. Sorry, like fathers like sons.

Why did you make... I have no idea. Let me see your sheet of paper. Let me see if you read. I wrote it Jermaine. I did. I wrote it. I wrote it that way. Here. I want to double check. No, that's okay. You wrote it as Jermaine instead of Jeremiah. I already know what I did. Is that another fine? You owe money from before on your fine that you haven't paid. Jordan Travis being a top 10 quarterback in the NFL seven years from now. This is your money Jessica for a team not named the Jets Collision course how much do I owe you? Oh you oh you've been fine twice during the show today

You've been fine, so it's at least two dollars. Well. Here's five that should cover the rest. I see you got a two dollar bill there I do yeah, Jessica. Hold it on to that. I'm not giving that up crazy I saw there's a one dollar bill that there was like a printing error. That's worth $150,000 if you look it's like a 2013 series because they printed them all with the exact same serial number So if you have $1 bills from 2013 look it up people you may be rich. Yeah David Tepper Knocking off a restaurant manager's hat because the sign outside made fun of him.

One might say he had a Tepper tantrum. That he didn't knock off the hat. He just took the hat off the guy. Barry Jackson questioning if a baseball team is actually valuable to have in a city. I don't know about you, Dan, but I love Spicy Barry. I do. the baseball team is actually valuable to have in a city. I don't know about you, Dan, but

I love spicy Barry. I do. So do I. Mm hmm. I got a stat of the day. I'm not going to be able to do here about uh taxpayer funded stadiums. I think you guys are going to like it. Sixer fans, take it easy on your team. You're going up against a generational talent with Joel Embiid.

I like that. You liked your own joke. Can't believe I'm saying this, but one of the safest bets in sports right now is betting against the Astros. Uncommon for a Dusty Baker led team to be this bad. I still don't know who the manager of the Astros is. I dare you to name the coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder. I dare anyone.

Dan, don't know if you saw Greg Cody's eye. Well, you did, because we showed it earlier. But guessing, there's not going to be a back in my day this week. Maintenance week. The Steelers bolster their offensive line with their first two picks. You know why? Because they are the Steelers. Scott Brooks.

Is it? Kirk Cousins saying he's stunned and upset that the Falcons would select a quarterback in the first round of the draft. You're getting paid $180 million. Do me a favor. Shut up. You agree? I don't generally tell people to shut up. Hmm. 10 of 24 from the field. 1 of 5 from 3. If someone else tells me, 1 of 9 from 3, excuse me. If someone else tells me that Luka Donkic is the best maverick of all time, I'm going to punch them in the face. Top 5 mavericks of all time.

Oh, wow. Number 5, maverick of all time. I'm gonna punch them in the face. Top five Mavericks of all time. Oh wow. Number five, Maverick Carter. Oh, I know where this is going. Number four, Deshaun Stevenson. Number three, Dirk. Number two, JJ Barea. Number one one Pete Mitchell

Maverick from Top Gun yeah You got a better one no, thank you. Did you see Lucas says he's upset that he's letting down Kyrie what? Kyrie's been great for them. Oh them oh really regret all the Kyrie well not all of them learning from Aaron Rodgers used to be a good thing where was it that was funny DJ DJ Moore, Kenan best looking backup quarterback of all time. The commander's telecast should have a Hartman cam, a little box so we could just look at Sam. One would call it a Sam cam. You like that? I thought you were going to go something heart related because it was a kiss cam but yes

the rhyming. Sam cam. Yeah it makes it better. Heart cam? I mean. Death. Taxes. And no timetable for Kawhi Leonard's return.

It's the kind I ever play. I'm tired of him. He did play a lot this year. He did? How'd that work out? They're in the playoffs as a force he's about to lose again are they I mean if they win it's not because of him Okay, but You're sure they're going to lose. Yes. I'm sure they're gonna lose. Yeah. Are you?

Why you think they're gonna win You know, the glue is gonna be able to pull that out without kawaii there have a game does it he's gonna get it the game. Mm hmm. Why you Thank you. Hey Russell Westbrook, we get it. You are not to be trifled with. Enough. It was fine when you were good. You were winning the MVP, but enough. Enough.

Stash this away. In the Something the Ponder file. If the Sixers offered Joel Embiid straight up for Jalen Brunson, did the Knicks say yes? No need to discuss now, just stash it away for a rainy day. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs traded up to get Xavier Worthy from Texas.

He has a 4-2-1 40 time, Dan. You know what the W in worthy stands for? I do not. Won the draft. To the person who came up with what a pro wants commercial, go straight to hell. Speaking of hell, Arp Riles. Dan, those are the weekend observations. Don LeBretard. Where the motherf**ker Roeys at? Bring his ass on here. Where's the motherf**ker Roeys at is a great question.

football names. She wants five billion dollars financed until 2064 for a new stadium. You want to guess what her grandfather bought the Chicago Bears for? Sure. She wants five billion dollars financed through 2064 with taxpayer dollars for a new stadium? I'll say $250 million dollars. $20,000. $100. What? A fine guess by you, Jessica. A fine guess.

Thanks, Biden. Would you ever give a 101-year-old a $5 billion loan for financing? Seems not like what you should be doing. I don't think she's gonna, I mean, hopefully I'm wrong. I don't think it's going in her personal bank account. I don't think she's gonna get to 145. Dan, Virginia Hallis McCasky.

They're known as the McCaskys now. But George Hallis, yes, the patriarch of the Chicago Bears. A minus for the Bears. Wow, which day? That's a day two grade. Yeah, day two A minus, day one A. That's a tough day three. Day three, B minus.

Bit of a dip, oof. I never got to my biggest story from the weekend. Candace Parker retiring, Stugatz mentioned it. CP3. And I'm a champion. The real CP3. Since we're talking about the weekend, Candace Parker retiring, Stugats mentioned it. CP3. And a champion. The real CP3. Since we're talking about the Bears, she's from not my hometown, but next to my hometown,

and growing up in the Chicago suburbs in the Chicagoland area, Candace Parker was the biggest deal in basketball since Michael Jordan, and she still is. She brought the sky, a championship, but she was dunking in high school, and at Tennessee, and in WNBA. And I remember the local newspapers in my hometown, she would be on the cover of the sports section all the time

as a high school player because she was so good and so dominant. So shout out to Candace Parker. She probably will own a WNBA team one day. I would assume that she would rank on any short list of the best players in the sports history, whether you go top five or top ten, my guess is she would be in there somewhere in terms of accolades, credentials, name association with the sport. And I would say that when you get the Tarassis of the world retiring, we are now in an age where what you have retiring is not merely champions, but people that you can salute

as pioneers as they leave because they're responsible for building it during a time that was a lot less fun than the one that we're presently in for a lot of different reasons. Was she on your list, you guys? I think she was, yes. Number four, I believe. I'll check. Okay, you'll get on that? Something happened over the weekend that'll change America's true national pastime forever more, and it went underreported.

Change the way that the sport will look forever. Are you guys familiar with guardian caps? We have one on the screen that we're pulling up right now. These are essentially big old helmet sleeves that go over your traditional football shell and it's quantifiable. It's learned. Looks like a Lego.

It's an awkward compared to what the helmet usually looks like. it looks a bit awkward You often see these in mini camps and and and walk throughs and whatnot They do reduce head traumas in terms of collision It helps you by 10% if both players are wearing these guardian helmets It actually helps head injuries by 20% which is a big deal when we're talking about the head injuries by 20 percent, which is a big deal when we're talking about the brain health of these players. Well, they look silly and they have good data and practices, so the NFL, quietly I would say, has made these legal. I have a bunch of questions. Are they all going to look like that? Are we

covering logos? They said they want to put logos on the caps. I read. That's the plan. I would make sure my entire defensive line is wearing this. Even if they don't want to I would force them to wear this because you're closing some of the windows for some of the quarterbacks. It makes it a little bit more difficult to go over the line. If I'm a cornerback, and the further away you get from the ball, the more stylish the players want to get. But if I'm a corner and I want to face guard a wide receiver, imagine that big old helmet

blocking your view of the ball there. I do think it's really going to change the game somewhat, for the better in terms of the health of the players, but aesthetically, this is going to be tough for fans to wrap their heads around, no pun intended. And you're saying they're going to put logos on those things because they can't have everyone looking like that, Stugant, and hide their marketing arm. Health comes after marketing, and you have to make sure that you market correctly.

But that's going to look weird. That's what, well, the press release I saw said that they would put logos on them, but it's not like they're mandated for players to wear. It's just become an option. I think the way players wear those neck thingies that are supposed to increase blood flow, I don't know what they're called,

but that was also a safety thing that they allowed. Yeah, but aesthetically, in terms of how people watch the game, it's not that foreign looking. This is drastically different than your traditional hard shell helmet. It may be, it'd be funny, it's 10 years down the line, this sounds like such an antiquated segment. Can you believe the guardian helmets?

Whoa, that's gonna be so weird. It may actually, this might be the start of that game looking very different You were saying that it's optional and I'm guessing knowing players And knowing stugots where it is and how it is they look for advantages in the smallest of places there are players throughout sports That will try and wear less padding so they can be slightly more aerodynamic. Faster, more comfortable. Yes. Just ever so slightly aerodynamic. So it

might be a style thing they don't want to look like that it looks funny. There's nothing cool or stylish about that look. It looks a bit ridiculous and ultra conservative in terms of looking like safety. But that helmet looks about, it makes the head look, if we were willing to be cruel to aforementioned babies about the size of their head, it makes the head look about twice the size of the average football player, the way they would look with a helmet. Did I cross a line there?

I think baby head size is like where the line is. When I was a baby, I had a really big head, and my dad called me pumpkin head, and he still calls me pumpkin head, and guess what? It doesn't hurt my feelings, because I did have a pumpkin head, and I grew into it. I thought that the line was Bo Band's ears, but I got that wrong the other. Well Tony was the one that

jumped on you for that. It wasn't me. Just imagine you're this fan that took that photo with Stu Gotts wondering, hoping if they covered the draft they might show this picture all excited. Hey you're getting texts. Hey they were talking about you on the Levitard show and you tune in and they're just dragging your child. I wouldn't say it was a dragging. It was pointed out that the baby's head was a lot bigger than Stu got. I think someone called that kid a freak. I don't remember who it was. No that's not what happened. Someone said it. That's what Dan said about Boban. Who said it? Stan Van Gundy I think? I don't know. Candice Parker was number three by the way. Wow. Looked it up. Nice. What's the rest of the list look Wow. Looked it up. Nice.

What's the rest of the list look like? I have no idea. Cheryl Miller. Caitlin Clark was not in my top five. Oh wow. Shots fired. No I'm set.
