Yes. You know what? It's funny you say that because I'm a D.C. sports fan. Well, first of all, they haven't had the lottery. I'm a Wizards fan. I go back to the old Bullets days with Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld and the Capital Center and Landover. And I was down at Duke a couple of weeks ago interviewing Cooper for Fox Sports.
And I kind of looked him up and down and said, you know, you look pretty good in a Wizards uniform. But the most Wizards thing ever is going to be they are not winning the lottery. Like I am not even allowing myself mentally to go there. As far as the numbers are concerned, though, if you look at what Cooper Plagg is going to make in the NBA as a number one pick, Duke can't even touch that.
So but what we are seeing are players who would otherwise go to the draft in like the second round or even guys who might not be drafted and would potentially go overseas or guys who are coming out of high school and going to play for the NBA G League Ignite, which, by the way, doesn't even exist anymore. So all of this has really been great for college basketball.
And, you know, everybody's saying, oh, it's killing the transfer portal and all that. You know, they point to things that kind of make us uncomfortable. If you look overall, the fact that players can now make real money playing college basketball, guess what? That means more of the really good ones are staying and returning to college basketball.
And that's been very good, I think, for the enterprise.
Well, I think it's a great hire. The very, very interesting part of that is the timing. And this is just one of those odd things. I presume this is going to be fixed. The transfer portal opens on March 24th. And so if Miami doesn't have a head coach, not only on the 24th, but really in the run up to the 24th, it's going to be way behind the eight ball in terms of recruiting transfers.
So that's basically the deal, as I understand it, that they presented to Lucas. And, you know, a lot of credit should go to John Shire for being okay with it. Because if John Shire put his foot down and said to Jay Lucas, hey, I gave you a chance to come here. We need you for the stretch run. We're trying to win the championship.
I'm not saying Jay would have done it, but it would have been a different situation. So it's a great, again, lesson in terms of leadership of service, doing what's best for the people who work for you. But it's a problem because the portal opening on the 24th, so you're going to have 16 schools who are still playing in the NCAA tournament.
They could move that back even a week and a half, two weeks, and kind of ease that pressure. Football has a much harder problem because for 95, 98 probably percent of the schools, I guess, whatever it is, 90 percent, their season basically ends at Thanksgiving. Now, you have these bowl games that don't really matter in the grand scheme. And so kids can enter the transfer portal.
But you still have 12 teams in the playoff that doesn't even begin for several weeks. And that's interesting.
a very very long uh lead time and there's really not much they can do about it because there's so much time between the end of the regular season and the start of the postseason but i'm hoping in college basketball that they'll be able to move the portal back a week or two but there may be other factors particularly academics involved in that that i'm not you know fully briefed on that would prevent that but it seems to me you know one or two weeks shouldn't be all that hard
See, Chris needs to roll with me because I'm kind of an intermittent faster. So I have my – I'm in L.A., by the way, so I'm up early. Dan, I love you, but it was for Leah that I'm doing this because I don't say no to her. That's my rule. So I got my little MCT oil and my ghee butter and my early morning coffee. Chris, you may want to give it a shot.
And then I basically won't eat any food probably until I have my workout.
I would have no problem admitting to an almost burp or even an all in out belch. I have no I've I've admitted to many worse things than that. So just being factual. But you should still try the intermittent fasting, Chris.
Well, I was kind of there. I moved out here. I am a big juicer. I try to have a nice green juice drink every day. The key is no fruit, no sugar in there. So my concoction is parsley, spinach, kale, cucumber, lemon, and ginger. It tastes a lot better than that sounds. The lemon and ginger makes it taste good. So it's about being hydrated, being healthy. But don't get it twisted.
I can put away cheesecake like no one you know. I love a good steak. I mean, I do like to eat. So as I like to say, everything in moderation, including moderation.
Man, I didn't know you did research like this, bro. I don't know that I would call it a career. I know it shocks you because I'm not funny at all. It was basically an itch I wanted to scratch. I was living in New York City. I grew up like so many people listening to George Carlin and Rich Pryor and especially Rich Little.
should I do this whole answer is, is, uh, Rich Little doing Ronald Reagan?
Well, I, uh, I always, I always listened to George Carlin and, uh, well, one day I, uh, had a friend who took a comedy class at the new school and, uh, well, there you go again. Um,
That's it. Every Ronald Reagan impersonation has a well in front of it. You can flip that right into Mike Tyson. I don't mind losing to Buster Douglas. I just want to lose Staley. Anyway, I – I grew up listening to George Carlin and Richard Pryor, all these guys. And it was like, you know, everyone was like, oh, I could never get on stage and do that, right? So I was living in New York City.
