Dan in Pompton, Lakes, New Jersey. What's going on, Dan?

Hey, guys. Listen, I know you're not into it. Whatever. I'm not trying to convince you.

It's good. That's subjective. I love it. Well, my baseball class is great. But I cannot believe.

How does the manager of this dream team or whatever not know the rules of the tournament

goes on an interview show and says that they already clinched,

lets his players stay out all hours getting drunk, which he admitted,

you know, and joked about.

Before a game, you have to win to control your own destiny.

Listen, again, I know you guys are not super into it, but... But that's part of the reason... If you care about it, this is absolutely embarrassing. Yeah, I know. I know, but part of the reason why it kind of goes hand-in-handed, part of the reason why I'm not into it is because they're not taking it seriously. And I did want to give the WBC more of a chance this time around, but then you got one of your best players saying it's not the Olympics. And you got this whole thing with these guys have no idea what's happening. I mean, the players obviously didn't know what was going on either when it came to the clinching because they were out and they didn't say anything and they were out drinking and had guys drag and he was trying to get guys off their feet. I mean, that's why I'm not into it because I look at what we're doing with it and we're not caring as much as some of these other countries. Why don't you think about the other way? Maybe our team was overly confident because I'm not going to knock this team for hitting the town. Like you talk about the dream team. Like the dream team was known for hitting the streets. Like Baray and jordan all these guys were known for not sleeping for 48 hours but yeah they

would show up and get it done but they well okay here's the difference there one these guys

were getting drunk under false pretense because they thought they didn't have to win their next

game which they did to control their own destiny. So that's one problem.

Like if you know what you're doing, fine.

If you don't know what you're doing, no.

The other thing is you're talking about the dream team, the best team to ever be assembled

before the European boom in basketball.

So you see, you know, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Scotty Pippen, and Larry Bird

like stomping on Slovenia,

is a little bit different than Team USA facing these good teams like the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

So that's, you know.

That's that.

Good try, though.
