Who is a stick and pokey inhabitants are graduated it if you Vick. Pick your guy testicular again that they we've got to be good the regular Bulls defense -- the rule that would help. Tennis racquets. Sort of like in in in football how one guy gets the speaker does helmet but the Bulls defense one go to guy gives an American guy gets a tennis racquet. You know walls on rose's -- lash -- CNN. -- Good thing minds there's some big wingspan he has got to -- he has. At the shot. That's the thing you needed Ilyasova had it and then plus Gaza so Mandy didn't have -- what will he explained it -- explain it really really well. With the ball and your right hand. The the shooter the corner. You drive you that that's a completely redo play. If you're able to to -- away the shooters -- drawn kicked it kicked it right in the corner otherwise you get hoped for became more clear that you know don't. Willing to offer him a little bit and you give him the ball young adult maybe it will come on -- yes it's guys is Scott Skiles inbound play has got to put them."

" The ball down they're going and we talked about -- go to the ball down his right hand dugout decorum upside cleared out to footage download John Q can we'll. -- charges I don't know why he was determined -- things determination through your return. We talked about a lot I don't know I'm talk to them. And then he was open initially for the three and end and -- and have a little bit of trouble give it to him you know. From the time standpoint. I moved and we appointed time you know and we need to decide clear with the shooter you always -- for a dollar right hand and -- all -- you'll sort of wasn't trying to someone basket."

" Spoken like a man who could truly understands it victories will be few and far between to have her and they just can't play like bad in two years she's -- know -- I love it. He won't unit that he can't describe a player like that. Frisco. -- is. He's got his faults the -- and believe me he's got his faults as a coach but that that guy is -- exactly what he has. She is he he is a technician. You know -- if if from the big nobody does any any theories -- your liking him for the huddle. Slug guys go. Revote and and energy of the on the floor got a raw and more. -- amended timeout is over the and I don't Vegas -- on charges of people yell at me seriously doubt his. I really not give my ligament it -- to be TBS and say hey Vinny can we put that Mike idea hell no. We don't know. Organ or are we have -- execute and they get after it's."

" No no surprises this ball play hard and do things were capable of and a lot of opportunity -- okay. This is just."

" To send to us by the Chicago Cubs media relations department Ted Lilly. Yesterday afternoon underwent a left shoulder are thrust can be and to breed -- performed by noted orthopedic surgeon doctor Lewis Yoakam in Los Angeles. During the surgery -- Yoakam found no major damage to -- shoulder in the procedure consistent washout and cleanup for the shoulder. Since 23 minutes the procedure took approximately one hour Lilly will immediately begin an aggressive range of motion and strengthening program. After the first of the year he'll be reevaluated at the club -- was a timetable for him to begin his throwing program preparation for the 30 season. Typically recovery time for procedures such as this would place -- return to the Cubs rotation within the month of April. Okay all right so it's possible they -- season on time but either way we knew that he had a bunch a garbage and -- wanna cleaned out."

" It was tough to provoke to have made more being knowing the World Series. No there's nothing about this that will keep him from winning the World Series however yet Ted Lilly can't be your best pitcher. You know winning the World Series if he's your best pitcher can tell you rough no. No B sure yes. Because you have Carlos Zambrano and then Ryan Dempster there. Making a lot of money to be better it make more money because there's those -- you better. And the bonus you've got to Randy Wolf. I'm not counting any of that no. I'm -- counting and some -- game between what he did earlier what he did late. And Randy Wells she's disarray dwarf those of us every government won't lessen -- renewable. Day an old veteran bad lefty. I don't give me you don't I don't against -- games -- you know he did as the newest game you know stuff for either they did I did they ready will the -- and -- bring him event. And just some large they go -- and slid RBI out of him get a did. For -- but in the end they go to bed common. Dismissal. All of seniors who would you look at their National League and what these teams are forced to start. And I don't know about your -- after the Cardinals were eliminated I keep diary I asked rod the other day was -- cardinal rotation look like for the playoffs. What's going -- anything yeah hum but after that he gets mad if you start this this Cardinals now. Faster. With a McGwire stuff. That's about that that's his team that -- guys I know. He could have both the birds on the bat he's -- don't disrespect the birds on the bat also he's he's not a he's not McGwire guy through and through. Tired finished I don't know."

" Paulino is a sense today that pitching could. National League so body. -- yesterday when we interviewed Todd McCullough Monday's starter figured every Tuesday we wanted to former NBA center will call a -- Tuesday -- need we need a seven footer. AV ERR gay will always be better we have -- footer and everybody just just talk and whatever he wants to talk about on a Tuesday. Do you remember when McCullough was talking about how good he is a pinball none 91 ranked player in the world and he kept bringing up a guy named bowl and current -- can't tell them. Wow if Sam never going to be a -- Bruno got annoyed he was talking to myself so I get an email yesterday. After the show. -- actually came at night it said thanks for the interview with Todd -- today. I heard on the podcast from some friends very strange we name dropped in Chicago radio but I appreciate it I don't Todd wishes he was still in the NBA. And that unfortunate foot injury changed his life. They're never booing him Wally shot the game ending free throws to beat the Celtics in game five of the Celtics nets conference championship. And now I get to beat him down a pinball every few months. How does a great guy and has an amazing dedication to improving himself and it was great to hear on the air. Best wishes guys signed Bo wouldn't Kearns name dropped pinball world champion."

" I thought it could fit athletes. It sort of puts a bullet the whole thing that we knew we started to I don't know how old Todd because name came up Evan we've found Todd -- because of an email we got from some. World pinball right official picks officially out and we dark -- that he manages the world champion of the world champions that -- be real influx. -- I love. I love it -- is good he's really good. Felt I mean I I I gotta be honest with -- yes that you you bring twenty billion dollars I don't feel that some reform of the oil fields our provisional kick it actually a lot of people pointed this out that being just sort of Canadian in beating -- Feeley is a little Seth Rogen in Indonesia yet he did he kind of sounded like it would you -- it it was a -- and totally. -- when he today and of itself no such thing. There's a little girl winning and he either either you commit fully to the -- you go full Weddington you don't. You never go -- wind and hopefully -- it -- dude inflated due to disguise and the do. Guy who's gonna I think -- I think I got the thumbs up from -- my peeps on the idea by the way. Phillips is really -- did -- hope -- keeps that you talk about after every show it to go to some. Debriefing. Post all in all like yeah I I -- I don't secret society its a -- and I and I say give us some some of them masonic temple where there's solving crimes were figuring out of -- PR coordinator in general but I doubt they'll both. Most of the time the answer is building on the shoulder blades on via a bill Bulger diving because show blows to the right. All I know I very little discussion of the -- slowly into this match between the legs. Competitive -- there should be very vocal -- the show actually speaking of which League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Awful horrendous awful her unfortunately bad. Completely on watching leader there any any movie means that it's probably going to end to. Well I think it's an ace short -- comic book. -- I watched X-Men last. And I never seen the beginning of X-Men before. You could feel like when Wolverine to realizes he's. Wolverines and Illinois. They're very happy -- that he realizes she's got what it is blood really is that what's in the plan I think -- so they'll be original when it. Excellent yeah -- but Hugh Jackman and yeah I just I just is there a couple years when in the hell was tonight I just wanted to throw myself on the plane. That's just not just blows it -- yeah."

" Radio 670 WSCR who has scored Dan Bernstein Terry Boers review we are joined now in studio but the guy who's going to be calling. Some huge fights culminating in a monster main event this Saturday on CBS's. 8 o'clock Chicago time or indoor versus Rogers frank shamrock is with us on the story frank. And gone. To great so tell us why. The challenger Rogers the Grimm has a chance against this massive powerful Russian."

" Any time year 280 pounds. You believe in the power your punch -- thrown -- you becoming an incredibly dangerous man. Brett Rogers is that Manny currently 285 pounds have gotten -- to sixty. But moreover he's. He's young he's game and he's hungry and that's what. Only defence system for him great fights and create mean instant huge upsets."

" Do you weigh in will be open to the public at the Sears Centre. 430 -- On Friday and there are still a handful of tickets available for the entire night for the entire card at these fears center on Saturday of course you also catch on CBS. Now when you have a guy like like fade or. Do we do you think that we still have this thing about. The the mysterious powerful Russian and -- it goes every will picture of on Drago in Rocky for everyone remembers. Whether it was do you that the Cuban team feel Stephenson is sort of these these guys that come from. From part sit on Nolan they would with incredible mystical powers and abilities -- furcal well. There's there's still offense talking -- here is that the Mets buoyed themselves something if something exotic about the -- big destructive Russian."

" 100%. There there's something very mysterious and in the luring in an -- There's something there and I was in the gym not an hour ago thinking this is just like Rocky -- and coming to Russian -- and there were over here like. It has that feel there's something. Magical happening and this is the guy leading it. And even the wrestler -- and who they called the bearer who would cause people to tapped out but every you know these fighters it's -- like better as he just a guy who had mr. -- Taylor is well he has all those things and he is he changed Millen now where he runs in the woods we we just have to -- in parents us and them. Media day here he was given an open door and pull -- cycle score like the old days. He has that old -- Fighters thing about him. But at the same time he is so personable and so kind and he he just can Olindo shook my hand. And not welcomed me to somebody else's gym. I'm gonna spend like a fish you belong to me I'll give -- I'm Jim welcome to look good until Beijing and that's. But that is you know he'll say he's the humble. -- but there's something inside that lawyer admits it's just this magical did you think Craig when you started doing this yourself a former foolish initiative fights it does not just some guy so they -- doing TV you -- onetime fighter for those who don't know. Did to support we get to the point it's gotten two today. Well I always believe that would. I'm always present my Grand -- in the sport and present the opportunity that we would be a mainstream combative professional organized sports time I believed it. It's a little unbelievable sitting in the middle of at all known him but I've been a believer since the beginning damper on my rocks in this. I think."

" Did you think that he's given enough time there will be a definitive. Best fighting style. That given that inept -- evolution. That there will be a style that simply works better because of the way the sport is designed or is it is it in the best interest of the support. To constantly have it innovation. Or success because of because of certain fighting styles."

" That's great double question. I have seen this sport evolved tremendously in fifteen years the techniques I was top fifteen years ago are not the techniques I do today why not they've gotten old. We know more we understand better the science is better technology is better will there be one style that becomes supreme. I don't think so there will be a combination of -- still be a basic system. That a real athlete can apply tennis -- a new series will repeat itself and will and strength to the athlete's ability."

" And other sports people have decried how homogenized they've become than it did the bodies look the same the bodies are trained to look the same. -- or baseball swings start to look the same they talk about. It is all cookie -- now that everybody's doing the -- give -- backfire river back in the day there was one guy -- broken arm when he was three and he can do things other people couldn't do so is it do you think that's good wicket when he does when there's a lot of money at stake and you see a lot of resource is people are going to do what -- proven to work can work well."

" Yeah and they go back to what is natural wonders gross motor skill based and what. You know what damage is he -- at the end of the day -- nutrition base -- it's whoever gets out the least damage. And then if you standing to damage it's not good players being smart fighter is something you see all of these guys on the cards have going for them -- you. Have to -- win win. Without getting hurt we should mention go outside of debate about which we've been discussing there're other fights as well Saturday night near the -- is stacked from top to bottom with a level talent international talent. We've got one title match which is Jake shields versus Jason -- that was Thailand first tell the strike force. Weight title. And does well you're the legend that's why I'm Miller live on every -- slam legend. Illinois yeah. I don't tell you I don't let it if you don't make me break my bell South Dakota. Yeah. There's another fight is I'm really anxious and and that's -- I think -- would you could meet these two guys you know who fancies. Tony for years old bit. Colin walking around and pound for -- the most dangerous guys the world. And so if you could just this explosive African fast indeed. I think this fight has fireworks written all over."

" We are talking with Franken the legend at shamrock who's gonna be broadcasting owns CBS. The world's number one MMA heavyweight fate or Emelianenko. Facing undefeated American power house. Brett the grim Rogers it's an 8 o'clock. Central standard time start here on CBS channel two. If people want more information about tickets they can go to Sears Centre that CN TR EU the French spelling Sears sold with dot com. And there are still a limited number of tickets available. Would put it the fighter describes heavy heavy hand senators have literally been at waving his hands. How is it is it possible for a guy of a certain size with a certain muscular sure."

" To just have a more heavy handed punch that another why is that. It is something purely. Genetic. There's something purely structural. Some people when -- content enormous power leveraged balance. And focus tumbled off and it's it's. I've seen kids come in and -- and one day off to street they have power. I've seen kids punts for ten years never get it do you belong in -- if there Brett Rogers hasn't. Now that's why he's in this fight so he has the classic puncher he has a -- chance. And he's doing it. 280 they get fellow new leadership mean it's a massive that the Giants."

" When you when you watch you on a young fighter read. What do you look forward gives her wake is always talk about Q the sports thing you know basketball baseball football could you tell when they're young could you see something -- it. The commission not everybody can do this thing over and sometimes you see there's so very strong doesn't mean he's gonna be great fighter. What do you look for if you look at for young guy. It -- why you say -- this is going to be a thing this is going to be something."

" What person look forward is. A fighter has a fire in his -- You see. They're -- resign he wants to fight then you look at other people's eyes and no they don't wanna fight I don't wanna forget truths I don't if I look at my right. But ultimately nobody don't know I'll tell you good. Wanna fight of his visit and I'm when if he'd go to anybody nobody but. The only thing. The other thing is. They flow. People we talked about punching power and manpower some people have you know they're good at this are good that thing. When I see young guy and he can combined. Wrestling with I'm seeing and even if it's not perfect. -- long -- it flows and it begins to look like -- seamless I can tell that that guy that understands what the game's about and can be developed further. So it's a fire and iron the flow and his body those two things. And I continue champion this."

" the recognition that you would have looking at a young fighter or what I find interesting about MMA you it. As opposed to boxing. Boxing you have -- a limited number of times it you can go full out to expend energy to try to take a fighter and to fight. And there's a time when you recognize you might have hurt a guy you'll hear the corner screaming go go go go go go get it like. They will have seen something or something will happen this is this is it time to. Budget energy to get after it when you got a chance yet the bell to ring to recover. And you might have a couple more of those times to accelerate later on of the fight enemy. When you make that decision and -- you better be damned sure if if you're pushing all -- with with your your energy system at that point you better be damn sure so as a fighter. On what are you relying to give you the solid indication that yes yes go go go get him now it's it is it. Corner is it observers is it what do you see in any given situation that says all right now's the time to go win."

" For me it's. For me it's the weight. Of the punches at the end -- my fists. -- punch somebody in a solid black on hidden in a wall I know that I'm hurting and couldn't punch pretty hard and I know regarding my demonstrating -- and yeah. -- You know you're delivering a certain amount of impact on the -- I can tell when when when the punches are solid and I know it doesn't matter who you are you brains Jolie's smacking around it it's it's Mourinho I know then. It's kinda hard. Any other way I know is. And this is. I'm glad you asked this question because. This is hard to understand your corner man and in yourself are very deep relationship. And you are relying 100% on what he says you have to believe and trust 100% of what he says. Because your view of what's going on completely skewed. You're stressed out -- you know anything's gonna and other people can't imagine when you believed to be truth may or may not be trip when he sees is probably true. Any change you and believes -- you trust you and and is -- guiding you you do give yourself 100% to have another NASCAR for the -- the other orchards are totally now. Now your your crew chief to do 100% and you sit down the guys in the league you know -- the five guys commanding picture machine if you go back got -- about a there's no time for conscious thought conscious thought takes too long. Here I thought our direction you do it because you believe and that's that's good fighting."

" Just so we avoid picking up his. It evidence of -- but ten years of batters did it but something you just set off handedly about about the brain B and jello. I've been very aware of what's been happening with with football concussions and with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. And dimension few journalistic and everything in all of this it is an explosion right now of research and a desire to find out more. How concerned are you about yourself. And how concerned are you about what -- what the sport is and how we can leave guys when they're done in that we're."

" foot and that way I -- come to the defense of the sport from being a professional boxing ring impression kick boxer as well as a professional anime fighter. The difference between mixed martial arts and save boxing is night and day and the damage that comes to your head. The -- comes to your body in mixed martial arts is through the roof because it's attrition based full money's work. But in boxing in particular the sole focus is the kind of brain so you can finish the match that is the focus has a problem because it destroys right. Now we destroy the body boxing destroys a breath I'm worried about my brain Rashard need I know that my style is good I know have created -- taking little damage. And that's just harness and a desire to be -- and -- My worry is for the youth my worries for kids that see guys take -- shots on TV and I think triumph he didn't really hurt him because he didn't say anything to do and thinking. But his brain was smashed around that's gone bang from side to side somewhere -- damaged my of my worries for the youth that they don't understand. What it's doing to you and they don't. Understand how to -- a game. If you wanna play it can defend against it. Can it doesn't hurt to get -- and had this is where I'll make a huge disclosure your brain feels no pain. But it turns off when he hit too hard and that's a problem."

" And that's -- they're finding out too is that in this specifically with boxing. And football the culmination. Now of smaller hits it's not necessarily the one did did you -- point of the chin and knock you out. It's over career over even a short career just that the number of blows adding up ending up adding up so I guess that's right if it's going to be a -- Brutal sport. Fought -- really tough guys as long as they know as long as easy work for more research more awareness more understanding -- give everybody that shifts ups."

" Really because what and people follow under there's a love in boxing but it doesn't hurt to get hit. I'm comfortable but it doesn't physically hurt like he can relate energy bump and some hurt your -- doesn't hurt. But is deceiving because it doesn't. And hurt I didn't hurt me for Ukraine got smashed too you don't know you can damage and in ten years down the road you know he's been a little bit Islam a little bit you don't know why. He continues you -- now has."

" If people want to attend the open weigh in at the Sears -- for thirty they can do that but more importantly if they want to hear. The analysis of our -- frank the legend shamrock kid and watch the big fight between fate or end the grim. 8 o'clock Chicago time on CBS from the Sears Centre. They can that do that there are a couple of take its -- Sears -- dot -- it's it's TNT. REE."

" This is fun thanks to seven by Norris thinks you have mentally he has put mixed martial artist to be in the fact. Knew this time what we supported more if you just slaughtered him for the."

" It was because they don't like the real round playoff island next losers say yes please -- please do events like throughout the next time next time for guys like civilian good luck thanks guys frank shamrock or guest on WSCR this --"
