As -- pre season gasoline has resolutely here's Bob and a car I've Bob.
They guys a couple of questions about it on the hang up a list of hobbies. I yep I -- the U guys think it was a successful experience from a television perspective beat. -- men's basketball team understand and that that the worldwide other than just winning Nicole with a China and look. But Ben dominant years then Dallas got that you. And the -- guys think that the IOC will do something about them many many complaints about it yet they are at the -- publicity --
Yes I think they will do something about the -- athlete. Terrorists was it a spectacle on TV yes it was -- did a great job. But the commentary they've made it look like you know this -- the of the east and it's not and it certainly is an and they they glossed over the have a great opportunity to balance it.
I don't you agree that no matter how how the age is so if you're that good you should be in the Atlantic.
I am. Now I am not necessarily because. Especially. I think the Chinese -- good example OJ pride how gymnastics and how they stand so early. And negative stories where kids there are away from home you know at 56 a year at a time training as they spot someone who -- some talent. And this is what you can do. You know come to what training camp. And this is you know will -- you will instruct you. But you're not leaving until you get the Olympics I think you have to yeah I mean it would leave and -- is though what the kid is -- you can have some crazy phenom like this kid that throws that baseball so high -- though we can't play anymore -- you know I think you have to make some. Some guidelines -- and.
British diver sports. -- a -- especially some of these agility sports such as gymnastics where you know. Now. So -- ten or eleven maybe beard agility. You know or they're -- lighter. And -- it this way you know at some of these these -- which a lot of people who bring up. These Chinese gymnastics. Coach that is. I mean you know might be able to stand up and downs -- easier than someone that was made the got to still be very it's -- gold -- that your obviously depending these I I agree -- I mean I think has to be an age. Amazed that some learning what every that they can be -- good -- skilled sport and and we find out afterwards there rage it kind of impressed anymore. -- Adams and they -- I didn't you know withhold the pressure up against people you all have their age.
Yeah -- there that sometimes the pressure might not get -- because they are so young they don't even know what pressure is and they probably you know that. Managed not as developed as -- and I comprehend crash while I just think it's how they get the air and a -- in these countries that way to accurately. Lie about you know younger young boys age. Because they have a shot at a metal and -- And it's suck it up and I am not saying you know let it be a -- we don't give -- time to do that that's fine I mean if the kid. It's a swimmer are a gymnast and wanted to do and at Clinton wants to do that. And then well now -- I want it to keep it well what's -- say without mine goes to be an Olympian also some countries are trained Sam USA. Like now at zero difference of that that be -- I have nothing to legislated all the notes everyone -- different in the run up that Chinese don't care that it comes right out of the world means that -- Well I mean the thinking in Atlanta maybe.
Good -- I government. I just I mean it's all another can of worms on the other thing in the top of the Olympics but you'd never know what's gonna gonna hunt and these and yet -- shows that for 31 I've -- and you're here by. But you know the kid I always get upset that you know people driving these kids. Do this step of they didn't want to do mean if they want to compete this stuff let him do it if not you know.
Beckham be us looking at it as Americans you know we don't know the other side.
Right but I just don't I don't think -- this whole another subject but. I don't like people -- one of them yeah and flawless may not be too afterward they -- they do. And that's the minute that if you force feeding it early. And I don't want to eat sleep and drink this this -- it. Yeah -- we don't know so we don't fix its -- That happens here -- you know it happens all over the place yet it -- but I think it's -- It's easy to get out of it in in the United absolutely. It. A kid to a Jets snubbed its nose at you know it's coach -- they get in the past -- and growth. Parents might be just ask about. That game that's true right but in it that scene. Like today really have a choice I mean you have been. The chosen one and United do this for the next 56 years ago.
There's no doubt I think that they take these Olympics but I mean that's it maybe. You know I think they were much more interested and certainly the US wants to win gold and it is very competitive in the athletes competing. You know take great pride but they really -- I was writing done on their country in this Olympics they were really competitive show up yeah. They did but I mean you know certain the Americans did -- mean Americans or very close very close. But this night the via. The last few mental count that way that -- seats in US switching future Olympics.
I don't know I mean you know Chinese really -- a lot of a lot of good athletes on all different types sports. Yeah that's all can win one man -- yeah I'm managing it. Well no idea how of course -- US I just I mean watching the Olympics I thought it was fantastic wide television there's so many stories that you know -- able to see that right just open your --
Right I producer I mean I thought that was great story lines you know ball to the Jamaica runner and and Phelps swimming and there's so many great stories out this is. What seven and fourteen sports now in in in Olympic you know I wanted to see like archery in some of that stuff on TV lake that we -- even for like ten minutes yeah I just check out did you receive a lot of people.
It meant to the sports say. That he knew existed. When you let this come up just out of curiosity and just got ice it was great show I mean that China did great job of Jamaican and aspect Goldman that will be on mass and Paul London. And -- is. No way they're going to you know -- face at the London that -- how to put on a meal you know I mean so.
I have a lot of restaurants. -- its automated -- Ryder ratings. You know I mean that's. Very metropolitan cities a lot of different. Food you know I would say British -- and -- fishing ships which but besides that you know. That means that the man -- have enough right I don't stated it's recorded -- severe when he went giant. Good that does not feel well I know that but I'm saying that there's a lot of different I mean it's hardly even any British. Nevermind. I mean -- Ego there it's it's you know everything that's melting -- now -- committed and so.
By the way the other question about the men's basketball out of China to set some sort of master has that was that was a great game the final game. Well -- time -- which I don't win my editors in the US has assured win. I -- scapegoat -- don't really good and they play well of Dyson at just outside look at the lineups don't hear the US should win all I'm. Through.
And and he had it was a message of course and and they this team -- ironic because. I know they hand chose them and you know you got to commit for three years all the egos aside. That said. You know coach taken column that everyday practice with the -- an eagle at the door. But those guys have the biggest egos I don't you know in it particularly at. Even to Dwyane Wade -- other NBA play I mean yes absolutely so Dallas had to do and they did it. And in great for that I mean that listen -- they wanted to be the team does with the eagle comes in you do -- the country now that but the ego. Drives you well we have the best and we want to show you -- that hasn't happened lately and who you're in the world championships are in the Olympics. And we're going to show it we will be the ones and -- and it. -- Embarrassed -- it. That was scripted. You know -- actually about that. I'm a coach in the eighties and it they shared and you know stand by that but. International bats. On. NBA players and about all those countries. Within three points late. X. And call was played form exactly. Where it currently. Notes the gold medal game. Once again and again just like in the NB AQ goes well let's habit that the.
While relate to break but delegate your flashes John Ryder -- meg well by the way just noticed. That Mark Kotsay was scratched from the the Braves line -- tonight against the Marlins so he possibly could be headed to the Red Sox in the trade or the Phillies or the brewers ago. Try to find out but he he's probably going somewhere because he was in the original lineup for the Braves and scratched and there's been a lot of talk about him. Heading to -- the Braves don't have a lot of talented depth so now at any scratches after this season so they'll want to dump that -- he's on a plane these companies commit somewhere in the new New Yorker to. Philly or wherever but we will let you know it's John -- I would letting Magglio is 61777. -- Zurich 5888525. Jury fifty quick break back after this.
