Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 6.519 Boomer Esiason

Before we get to Gottlieb, let me just give you one more play-by-play from our guy Jerry. Big Rutgers win yesterday over Maryland.

0

7.34 - 8.882 Unknown

I didn't push this. Don't look at me.

0

Chapter 2: What happened in the Rutgers vs. Maryland game?

8.922 - 21.998 Unknown

A screen from a bully. Works around it. Throw it left. Francis into the corner. Zerno for three. Again. Harun Zerno with back-to-back threes. He's got 13. Rutgers goes up by eight. Their largest lead of the day, 42-34.

0

22.058 - 27.625 Boomer Esiason

There you go. We had the game here on the fan. You got Jerry on the call. It's a Rutgers win, 68-57 there.

0

27.605 - 35.936 Unknown

I can always tell when we're actually on 1019. The difference in the sound quality? Well, that and actually people on social media reach out.

0

35.956 - 36.697 Boomer Esiason

I see what you're saying.

0

36.717 - 37.058 Unknown

Which is great.

37.078 - 39.862 Boomer Esiason

Yes, we have mostly FM listeners more so than AM these days.

39.882 - 41.303 Unknown

Yeah, it does seem like that now, yeah.

41.323 - 46.951 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, when we first made that change, I was like, oh, this is weird. I got to stay with the AM, and now I never go to the AM anymore.

46.971 - 48.153 Unknown

Understood. So, yeah.

Chapter 3: Why did Doug Gottlieb lose his temper at the press conference?

116.265 - 120.803 Doug Gottlieb

The exact same. The exact same play.

0

121.244 - 129.279 Boomer Esiason

So that's where it really escalated. I'm with him on this, by the way. It was like a three-minute venting session where I thought he was making some good points, to be quite honest with you.

0

130.821 - 152.815 Unknown

I've been courtside for enough college basketball games now in the last 20 years. The officiating is mind-blowing. How... It's just uneven. And I get it. He said not only that, he glanced over the fact that the free throw discrepancy. You heard that? Yes. I think it was 36 to 15. Something like that.

0

152.855 - 157.161 Boomer Esiason

So he even dismissed that. Credited the team. That's how they style of play. Whatever.

0

157.461 - 175.741 Unknown

Fine. I say this loosely because gambling is legal now in this country. There are many times I think someone's on the take when I watch these games. Yeah, I mean, which is something that people have been saying for years, but it's been proven and shown in many instances. And I'm not saying they are. Right. But it feels like that.

175.761 - 195.029 Unknown

And I tell you, the face that he makes, and then when he has to pick his microphone back up, it's worth finding that video. It is, yeah. Especially if you know anything about Gottlieb or used to watch his show or listen to anything that he ever did. I mean, it's just, it is funny. He has lost his mind. He's losing his grip. It means a lot, though. These guys put so much into it.

195.049 - 209.481 Unknown

And you said they're 10-7 in the conference. I thought so, yeah. So that means they're having a good season. These games matter. And then if you feel like you're getting screwed and there's only so much you can do, and then they tee him up if what he's saying is accurate and he didn't do anything to warrant it.

209.521 - 214.427 Boomer Esiason

Yeah. He was very strongly worded about saying, I didn't do any of these things.

214.487 - 220.174 Unknown

And you know what happens? These coaches then send these plays into the league, and the leagues will say, yeah, they got it wrong.

Chapter 4: How does the podcast reflect on the challenges of college basketball officiating?

321.865 - 341.996 John Minko

That's going to be a flagrant. And Hopkins gets up. Duncan Powell. And there's a skirmish. All the players are out onto the field. Coaches are out onto the field. And Powell is going after Hopkins. He threw a punch. Kyle threw a punch. Security is out. Things are being thrown by the stands.

0

344.96 - 349.828 Unknown

Bad ass. Poor Mink. He wasn't ready to call that.

0

349.888 - 358.444 Boomer Esiason

At least there were words. He was trying to describe the action. On the field. And, yeah, thrown from the stands or whatever it was.

0

358.464 - 360.589 Unknown

Yeah, well, yeah, onto the field.

0

360.629 - 381.252 Boomer Esiason

That's part one. Now, I will say. Not the field. Yeah, I know. Now, I will say. From the stands. Once the play was over and the mayhem was occurring. Tariq Turner was carrying a lot of the broadcast at that point. Mick was trying to figure out exactly what was happening and what the fallout was going to be. Now, later in the game, about five minutes to go, he did have some more fireworks again.

381.272 - 387.578 John Minko

Here's Fox down the right side to land the ball. Stripped away. Out of the pack. Here comes Darling. Underhand pass to Edgar Ford.

387.598 - 388.019 Joe Benigno

He's hit.

388.619 - 396.867 John Minko

And now there's a push on the part of Jones. He's out. Well, this Providence team...

397.859 - 407.311 Boomer Esiason

They are dirty. They played dirty basketball today. All right, so Turner gives his analysis, right? And now here's where we kind of lose mink a little bit.

Chapter 5: What led to the brawl between St. John's and Providence?

643.419 - 645.944 Boomer Esiason

I tell you, these baseball players, really, they're the worst.

0

645.984 - 646.345 Unknown

Thank you.

0

646.485 - 647.668 Boomer Esiason

That's what I said to Al this morning.

0

647.688 - 654.038 Unknown

They are the worst. I don't even think half of it's their fault, too. I mean, I think that sometimes these trainers keep him out and ask him too many questions.

0

654.098 - 666.476 Boomer Esiason

It's the culture that's been created for them now. That's probably true. A couple from Colin Morikawa. You referenced revealing after the win at Pebble Beach that he and his wife are expecting their first child in the spring. Say goodbye to his career, huh?

666.496 - 685.481 Unknown

No, I'm kidding. Didn't Jack Nicklaus say that about Tiger back in the day? Well, I think he said that things are going to change a little bit for him. Well, they did. With kids. In a different way. Didn't someone just... Who was talking? Oh, it was Joe Judge. The whole thing with the players and the kids. Oh, yeah. Right. The pregnancy. Yes. Did you see his response to that?

685.721 - 687.043 Boomer Esiason

He said he was taken out of context.

687.063 - 690.947 Unknown

Yeah. Okay. How? We played his context. I mean, my Lord.

691.147 - 692.028 Boomer Esiason

You were under oath.
