0:54.8

You can go off the board. It is your segment to do whatever you want. And Alec is our leadoff hitter. Alec, you're on Sports Graffiti. Go. Hey, good afternoon, guys. Hi. I was listening to Cross Talk earlier. And John, you were talking about that Kobe story about the carpool in. I thought thought it was funny and it's funny the other day I was on a YouTube brought up that when he got that

1:00.0

Achilles injury and how you handled that that whole situation like you were doing like the first

1:05.9

felt like five minutes of that interview right you seem to really calm them down and it seems like he was really just, like, looking at you. I just thought it was really interesting, and I thought you handled it, like, really well. Oh, thanks. So, so. One of the question I had was, how many big-time dunks do you think Skinny Lucas got in him this year? That all i got all right um lucca's not big on dunks

1:29.3

michael he or mike he can dunk um but it's not really his game but he is noticeably lighter

1:37.5

i mean he's he's thinner he's leaner um maybe we'll dunk more i don't know i mean it's a

1:43.0

great you watched did you watch the slovenia game the other day um i saw know. I mean, it's a great... Did you watch the Slovenia game the other day?

1:45.4

I saw the highlights.

1:46.5

It's a great question, first of all, nice call out. Back to Kobe's presser. I was standing right behind John listening and like, you know, trying to... It was a very emotional moment, certainly. That was awful. That was tough. I think with Skinny Luca, you can Google

2:01.9

or just go on YouTube.

2:04.0

There's compilations from his first couple of years where he was dunking more than you might think. Right. And I do think some of that is coming back this season. So I'm with the caller on this one. Good. Nick, you're on Sports Grafini, Nick. Go. Hey, how you guys doing? Thanks for taking my call.

2:18.2

Sure.

2:18.5

Yeah, John, I don't know if you mentioned this, though, but I want to go back to the sanctions that they gave Michigan football team Friday. Yeah. You know, as a lifelong, as a lifelong trojan fan, it's been frustrating, and it's just, you know, the NCAA, they just full of it, and it just controls the bias they have towards the other schools.

2:34.3

Because remember, when they penalized USC,

2:35.9

I think it was 30 scholarship and a two-year bow band. And from the looks of it, it just looks like they gave Michigan a slap on the wrist. And it's almost like they're condoning what they did was okay. And it's just, to me, it's just not right. But it's an embarrassment how the NCAA is back then and like they are now. So I just want to hear you check on that. And thanks for taking my call. All right. Thanks for bringing that up. Mike, I've said it before. I'll say it again. The NCAA is a broken organization. They, uh, everything they touch, they make worse. Other than that, they're great.

3:08.0

No, they're awful.
