Speaker 4: I'll keep an eye on that Max Rosby story. The

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 4: Raiders are saying the Ravens have not blown the deal up.

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: By the way, are you with me on there.

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 5: You go that it was a dumb deal from the Ravens.

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I fear like on the edge of

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl championship. I don't mind doing it, but

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 4: I don't think the Ravens are so I agree with

21
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: you on that. I mean, if the Hawks wanted to

22
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: make a move like that. Oh boy, yeah, I mean

23
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 4: going for back to back. I mean, I hate hey

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: Now that it's me a little fired up. So here's

25
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: what we got. Ria Hughes will join us from Philadelphia

26
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: next segment talking about Rek wooland signing with the Eagles,

27

Speaker 4: and also cousin Evan is going to be on the

28

00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,960

33
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: It's our friend Johnny Wilner. John, How are you man?

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 6: Good? Thanks?

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: How you guys? Swell?

36
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 4: Big Ten Tournament starts tomorrow. Of all the Cinderellas, of

37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: all the nobody's from nowhere who have no shot to

38
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: win this tournament, where do you put the Huskies of Washington?

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 6: Pretty far down the list? Although I will say it

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 6: started today, you know, because you obviously missed Oregon scoring

41
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 6: twelve points in the first half against Beryland.

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 4: I said Round two, didn't. I I'm sorry, I apologize.

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: I'm at Round three on them.

44
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 6: Oh, that's okay, it's but it's underway because you got

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 6: if you got eighteen team conference, you got to get

46
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 6: started early with your tournament.

47
00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: That's right.

48
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: So's the dark course because both Dick and I think, Look,

49
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: they already beat USC right twice. Right, and Wisconsin I

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: think they can handle them. They played terribly the last

51
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: time they played them in Seattle.

52
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: There's some motivation.

53
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: Wouldn't shocked that, you know what out of you if

54
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: you dub went to Chicago and got a couple of wins.

55
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 6: No, I could see him beating both those teams for sure.

56
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 6: Wisconsin's not that good. At USC, they've probably had more

57
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 6: injury issues than Washington. In fact, I don't even know.

58
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 6: If the two teams combined could get ten scholarship players

59
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 6: on the court, that would be something. But USC is

60
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 6: in shambles. I would actually think that there's a good

61
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 6: chance of the Huskies winning two games now. I haven't

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 6: looked to see who they would then play on Friday

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 6: in the quarters. That would probably be a tough game.

64
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 5: Speaking of USC, what was the deal with Chad Baker

65
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 5: Mazara John.

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 6: No, I still don't know. I know that he kind

67
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 6: of left that game and then he left the program,

68
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 6: and Musselman has not said a whole lot. I have

69
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 6: not seen a definitive, credible report on exactly what happened,

70
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 6: but it is a little bit reflective of USC season,

71
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 6: which is just, you know, they had pretty good expectations

72
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 6: and the whole thing has gone off the rails. And

73
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 6: it kind of started with when Elijah Arenas got in

74
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 6: that car accident and had to spend time in the hospital,

75
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 6: and it's just been kind of bonkers for the Trojans for,

76
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 6: you know, ten months, it seems like.

77
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: So they would then just by the way, if the

78
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: Huskies did survive USC in Wisconsin, they would get Illinois

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: and the quarters on Friday.

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: They played tough against them.

81
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah they did. They did play tough against them.

82
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: So who wins this thing? I mean, is it gonna

83
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: be one of the favorites or do you see somebody

84
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: kind of coming out of nowhere and stealing a bid.

85
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 6: It's hard to pick against Michigan, very difficult to pick

86
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 6: against Michigan. Michigan State might have the best chance. I

87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: just don't know that. You know, Purdue and Illinois, those

88
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 6: teams are very good on offense, but I don't know

89
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 6: if they defend well enough. That's the big question for

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 6: me in terms of who could beat Michigan is you've

91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 6: got to be able to play well on both ends

92
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 6: of the court, and I just don't see anybody well

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 6: balanced enough to do that. I mean Michigan, Duke, Arizona, Florida.

94
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 6: That is a pretty stout line of one seeds that

95
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 6: will all be heavily favored in their regions in the tournament.

96
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: I was.

97
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 7: Close to putting Arizona as my number one team going

98
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 7: to the tournament. I think I'm even closer now with

99
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 7: the injuries to Duke. Is Arizona a legit national championship favorite?

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: And do you have them winning the Big Twelve Tournament?

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: You had did a preview yesterday.

102
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 6: I do have them winning the Big Twelve Tournament. I

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 6: would not be shocked if Kansas snuck in there, because

104
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 6: Kansas has got the personnel to do it. But you

105
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 6: know this, to me, this is Arizona's best chance to

106
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: get to the They haven't been in the Final four

107
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 6: since two thousand and one, wow, a quarter century, and

108
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 6: it's a really good basketball program. Year in and year out,

109
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 6: they have not been in twenty five years. I think

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: they've got a great chance. You know, you look hard

111
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 6: enough and you can find a little bit, a few

112
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 6: holes or some questions. Right, they start three freshmen. They're

113
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 6: not very good from three point range, you know, but

114
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 6: you can poke holes in pretty much anybody at this

115
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 6: point if you look hard enough.

116
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

117
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: Well, I know Dick wants to ask you, John about

118
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: your article you wrote about the four Pac twelve schools

119
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: and the Big Ten moving forward in basketball. But I

120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: want to ask you about the four Pac twelve schools

121
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: that are in the Northwest, with two of them in

122
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 4: the Pac twelve and two of them now in the

123
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: Big Ten Oregon State Oregon you dub Wazoo because they

124
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: all suck, every single one, I mean, all four schools

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: in this corner of the country besides Loganzaga. I mean

126
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 4: it's the five major programs. They all stick, right, I mean,

127
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: what has happened to Pacific Northwest basketball? Wayne Tinkle had

128
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: the Beeves in the Elite eight. Altman was kicking ass

129
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: in Eugene. Wazoo back in the day was going to

130
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: the Sweet sixteen with Klay Thompson.

131
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: You, Doug was rolling. Now they're terrible all four of them.

132
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 6: Well, it's not just all four. I mean, if you

133
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 6: look at the legacy Pac twelve schools, I mean, really,

134
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: Arizona is the only one that is thriving. I think

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 6: UCLAO make the NCAA's, but you know, they're mediocre. Generally speaking,

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 6: is tough for the schools in the West that play football.

137
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 6: I think that there's so much money and emphasis going

138
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 6: into football success, whether it's Washington State and Oregon State

139
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 6: or Washington and Oregon does it all the way down

140
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 6: to the you know, the Big twelve, the teams that

141
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 6: are now in the Big twelve. The focus is so

142
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 6: much on football, and the bar is so high financially

143
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 6: because you have to do the revenue sharing and the

144
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 6: NIL and it's it's tough. And these are basically.

145
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 8: All football for schools.

146
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 6: Except for Arizona and UCLA.

147
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: The headline was two years into their existence.

148
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 7: Oregon, Washington, UCLA USC continue to face strong headwinds.

149
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: Are they doomed to irrelevance? Quite possibly, you say, And

150
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 5: I'm wondering.

151
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 7: You know, I don't necessarily disagree, but John, I don't

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 7: even know if we're gonna have to worry about it.

153
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 7: Eight to ten years down the road, because I don't

154
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 7: even know if they'll be Big ten schools in basketball

155
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 7: two years or ten years down the road, do you

156
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 7: I mean, I think they might be back in the

157
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 7: Pac twelve for everything other than football.

158
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I think that regionalizing the non football sports

159
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 6: is a distinct possibility. And that's the thing, you know.

160
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 6: I published that article and immediately I was hit with all,

161
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 6: it's only been two years. Your sample sizes too small.

162
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 6: But the thing is that the decisions that will be

163
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 6: made for the twenty thirties are going to be made

164
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 6: in like twenty twenty eight nine, and so Washington is

165
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 6: actually halfway through it's Big ten existence. If the if

166
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 6: the end point is decision time, it's like they're two

167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 6: years in the four year cycle. So the simple size

168
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 6: is not that actually that small. And I think that

169
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 6: you know, there is a growing uh you know, everywhere

170
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 6: people are like, what are we doing here with the

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 6: Olympic sports and basketball?

172
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 8: Right?

173
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 6: Football is one thing? Everything else regionalize it.

174
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, basketball is a much different animals.

175
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 4: You're making way more trips right, way more trips to

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: the East Coast and the Midwest.

177
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: But I do think you are jumping the gun a

178
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: little bit on this stuff. I like to see what you.

179
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 4: Want to maybe see you hang out for a couple

180
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: of years and then just let it marinate.

181
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Come back to me, see how things are going.

182
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 6: Well, the thing is a couple more years, there's gonna

183
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 6: be decisions made. So yeah, but I just how here's

184
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 6: the thing. How's it going to change? What is going

185
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 6: to be the impetus to change the trajectory right from

186
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 6: right now? Because all the money is getting put into football.

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Well, John Wilner's with us.

188
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 4: John, I want to throw the Cougar's a bone and

189
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: ask about David Riley coming back, because I don't know

190
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: one Cougar fan who didn't want David Riley fired as

191
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: the head coach at Wazoo. I meant, Dick, I forgot

192
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: they made the tournament two years ago at Kyle Smith,

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 4: and then Kyle Smith took off, and now he's at Stanford,

194
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: and Stanford's kind of a bubble team, right John on

195
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: the bubble potentially for the NCAA tournament.

196
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: So Kyle's doing a pretty good job there.

197
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: But David Riley, why are they bringing this guy back

198
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: when the basketball team is so awful and the fan

199
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: base is so pissed.

200
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 6: For exactly what we were just talking about, because they're

201
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 6: putting so much emphasis on football. If you spend the

202
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 6: money to buy David Riley out, that is money you

203
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 6: cannot spend on football. If you spend the money to

204
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: try to compile a basketball roster that could compete in

205
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 6: the new Pac twelve with them zag in San Diego State,

206
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 6: that is money you're not putting into football. And football

207
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 6: is the driving force for you know, ninety five center

208
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: of the schools.

209
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 4: Well, this is kind of a smart ass common So

210
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: then why even have a basketball team? I mean, honestly, like,

211
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: if everything is about football, and I don't blame them,

212
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: by the way for thinking that at all. We've only

213
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: got a limited, you know, amount of resources here. We've

214
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: got to spend as much of it as we can

215
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 4: on football. Why even have a basketball Like? Who cares?

216
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Get rid of it?

217
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 6: I think that there is still you know, college basketball

218
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 6: is a big deal, The tournament's a big deal. You

219
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 6: want to do your best to try to be relevant,

220
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: but you have to be much more judicious in how

221
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 6: you spend your money. Right, It's almost like you sit

222
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 6: down at a blackjack table and Okay, I'm willing to

223
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 6: you know, I'd love to win a thousand bucks, but

224
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm only going to start with one hundred here,

225
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 6: whereas for football, you're starting with whatever you think you

226
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 6: need to start with. So that's the dilemma for a

227
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 6: lot of these schools that have limited supplies. Now, there's

228
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 6: plenty of schools around the country that have more money,

229
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 6: right because they've got you know, wealthy don't owners, or

230
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: they got one, you know, a billionaire oil man, or

231
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 6: they're selling out one hundred thousand seat stadiums. So they

232
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 6: have the resources that you can commit to basketball and

233
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 6: too football, but not everybody does. And the Huskies are

234
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 6: an example I think of a school that has probably

235
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 6: limited resources, especially when it comes to what you're doing

236
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 6: with men's basketball.

237
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 7: John, I ready yesterday that Congress will likely introduce the

238
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 7: Score Act before the end of the month to try

239
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 7: to eliminate some of the bureaucracy. Can you give us

240
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 7: just a little cliff notes version reminder of what the

241
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 7: Score Act is all about?

242
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 6: Well, the big thing is the Score Act would say

243
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 6: that athletes cannot be employees, and it would also provide

244
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 6: some anti trust exemptions. So that the NCAA won't get

245
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 6: sued left and right. But my understanding is the Score

246
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 6: Act has zero chance to pass the Senate because it

247
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 6: would need sixty votes and the Republicans can't get to sixty.

248
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 6: The Democrats are against it because us UH it prohibits

249
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 6: athletes from becoming employees.

250
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: How about a score bar. You enjoy a good score bar.

251
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 6: You know the old SKO, remember the score Sko.

252
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: R go get one.

253
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: They're kind of in the heath bar family, if you will, so,

254
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: I want.

255
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 6: To know I stay away from heath bar stuff.

256
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well I'm not.

257
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 6: You want to talking about one hundred grand?

258
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: Yes, you want to live a life free of toffee?

259
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: That's a life I don't want to know. Pal all right, John,

260
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: great stuff, love it and we're talking on week Tonny, Thanks.

261
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 6: Man, Thanks guys.

262
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: All right, John Wilner with us. We do have some

263
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: breaking news by the.

264
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: Way to get to in the National Football League involving

265
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: Max Crosby. We told you a few minutes ago that

266
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: this story was coming down. I and Rappaport retweeted a

267
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: screenshot from the Raiders saying the Ravens have backed out

268
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: of their trade with Max Crosby, they offered two first

269
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: round draft picks. Well, Diana Rassini boom boom, call boom

270
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: boom because of her big giant feet.

271
00:12:59,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 9: Uh.

272
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: She's reporting that Max Crosby filled as physical with Baltimore.

273
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: So that is almost worst case scenario for the Vegas Raiders. Right,

274
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: they're trying to rebuild this thing, trying to rebuild the

275
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: offensive line. They're signing guys right and left, obviously trying

276
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: to rebuild it for Fernando and maybe their biggest trade

277
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: chip is damage goods and they won't be able to

278
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: get nearly what they thought they could get for him

279
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 4: because he can't pass a physical with the Baltimore Ravens.

280
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: As horrible. Can you imagine being a Raider fan.

281
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: You're trying to rebuild, you want to go get this quarterback,

282
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: give them every chance to succeed, and your biggest trade

283
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 4: chip is a freaking dud.

284
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, I think rude.

285
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 7: Somebody high up from the Ravens was just like, find

286
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 7: something anything.

287
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: Maybe in this physical maybe and fail this guy. Maybe

288
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: because we made a terrible mistake forty eight hours ago.

289
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: Hmm. You don't think that's ever happened before.

290
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 4: I think it's possible that a GM does something the

291
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: owner doesn't like and the owner says, find a way

292
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: to blow it up. Right, Yeah, I think it's possible,

293
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 4: But I don't know, is it Bashadi?

294
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: That right?

295
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: The owner in Baltimore, you would have thought he would

296
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: have been involved with this from the jump, right, A

297
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: deal for Max Crosby, that's two free.

298
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: You don't just go rogue on that kind of deal.

299
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 10: You guys talked to the Update about how the Baltimore

300
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 10: Ravens this move. I do think that they are very close.

301
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 10: The AFC, I think is pretty wide open. We saw

302
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 10: that this year that the Ravens, if they had the

303
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 10: right year at a Lamar, if they had an extra

304
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 10: defensive star, they could have very easily replaced I think

305
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 10: New England super Bowl if things went right this year

306
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 10: for them, but they did to Kansas City. I think

307
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 10: that the Ravens think that they were Max.

308
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 4: Cross absolutely, no, no, no question. I mean we can

309
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: we can disagree with them, right, I mean, the Ravens

310
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: could say that they are a Max Crosby away and

311
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 4: we can say, no, you're not right, You're not a

312
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: Max Crosby away.

313
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: But you're exactly right. Jackson.

314
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 4: I mean there's that's one hundred percent why they did

315
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: the deal. Because they feel like they can win a

316
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: Super Bowl right now. They see a Chief team that

317
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: is kind of going in reverse. They see a Buffalo

318
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: team that it's got a brand new coach who knows

319
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: how they'll do blah blah blah. Denver's got you know,

320
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: still a young guy. You know has improven much long term.

321
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: The Bengals are a mess every single year. Patriots might

322
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: be a bit of a fraud. They wanted to right,

323
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: bit of a paper tiger. So yeah, I mean the

324
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: problem in the AFC is there's probably five or six

325
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: teams that think that that because the AFC is wide open,

326
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: we can win this thing.

327
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: That's right.

328
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 7: And I just look at Lamar Jackson and I look

329
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 7: at his career and I see two elite MVP seasons

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 7: in which he could do nothing in the playoffs, right,

331
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 7: three seasons that were really good but not elite, he

332
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 7: could do nothing in the playoffs, and a couple of

333
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 7: seasons where he played just okay and they didn't even

334
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,119
Speaker 7: make the playoffs.

335
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: So you're not a Lamar Jackson faner.

336
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 7: The first thing you need is you need Lamar Jackson

337
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 7: to be an MVP again, And my question is that

338
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 7: gonna happen at age thirty? Is he gonna play because

339
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 7: we already know that. If he's less than MVP caliber

340
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 7: and they don't have John Harbaugh anymore, and they don't

341
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 7: have Mike McDonald anymore, and they don't have the number

342
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 7: one defense in the NFL like they did two three

343
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 7: years ago anywhere, why do we think they're going to

344
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 7: be as good again as they were back then when

345
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 7: Lamar was twenty six, twenty seven.

346
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: Well, I think yeah. I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong.

347
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: I just think the biggest mistake the Ravens made is

348
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: they should have fired Jim John Harbaugh three years ago

349
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: and hired Mike McDonald to be their head coach. I mean,

350
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: he was there in twenty twenty two and twenty three,

351
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: and I get it. It's hard to fire guy when

352
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 4: you're winning a playoff game, and they were winning playoff games.

353
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: They won one in twenty twenty three, so it's very

354
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: difficult to do that. I mean, hell, they went to

355
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: the conference championship. They lost seventeen to ten to Kansas City.

356
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: I mean in twenty twenty three, that was Mike McDonald's

357
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: last year in Baltimore.

358
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: They wants to go to Seattle.

359
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: So the only way this would have worked for Mike

360
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: McDonald is if they would have fired John Harbaugh after

361
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: going to the conferen Championship game.

362
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: Who does that? Nobody, Nobody does that in the NFL.

363
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 7: Jesse Mintor might be the next Mike McDonald, but guess what.

364
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 7: Mike McDonald wasn't even Mike McDonald in year one. It

365
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 7: took him two years. So that means Lamar is going

366
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 7: to be thirty one before Jesse Minter. Best case scenario,

367
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 7: Jesse Mintter becomes Mike McDonald and turns the der round.

368
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: Lamar's thirty one and they're.

369
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 5: Gonna have to pay him seventy five million dollars a year.

370
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: They're not.

371
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the story. The bigger story here, though,

372
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 4: is the Raiders' perspective on this thing. The fact that

373
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 4: their biggest, their biggest chip to use at the craps

374
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 4: table just got turned into a napkin full of boggers. Seriously,

375
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 4: I mean that's what it is, right Like, they want

376
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: to get better, they want to trade Max Crosby, they

377
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: want to get as much draft capital.

378
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: As they kid. Now, what the hell are they going

379
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: to do with Max Crosby.

380
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously something's wrong with him, right, They're not

381
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: getting two first round draft picks from somebody else. Could

382
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 4: they get one first round draft pick? Could they get

383
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 4: a couple of seconds or I mean, what are they

384
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 4: gonna do with Max Crosby? Now they have to go

385
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: back to Max Crosby, who I think wanted out, by

386
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: the way, I'm pretty sure he wanted out, but if

387
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 4: he did not want to leave Vegas. Now they have

388
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 4: to go back to Max Crosby and say, hey, come

389
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: on back, or we're gonna dump you for whatever the

390
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: hell we can get.

391
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a mess for the Raiders. Dude,

392
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: first round, thirty second overall.

393
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what that could work out to the Seahawks.

394
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: Favor if you can, if you can throw them that

395
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: start with the fourth and go up from there. Yes,

396
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean give you a comp pick.

397
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 10: It's the thirty second overall and a third and twenty

398
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 10: twenty seven.

399
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 4: I mean, whatever it is. I mean, obviously we don't

400
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 4: we don't know why he passed it. He failed his physical.

401
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 5: We're not gonna give im away, though they say him

402
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 5: before they give him away.

403
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: Well, here's what we're doing.

404
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: So next segment, we're gonna head to Philadelphia, Ria Hughes,

405

Speaker 4: we'll join us and talk about Reek Will then becoming

406
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: an Eagle. You saw the story where Gino Smith is

407
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: going back to the Jets, and when it comes to

408
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 4: the Jets, there's only one source that we turned to,

409
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: and that's our cousin Evan, who's kind of meh on

410
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 4: the Geno thing, which is a shock by the way.

411
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: I thought he'd be pissed. He'll join us along with

412

00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 4: All down the field?

421

Speaker 1: And it is intercepted? Hi, Rick, woman and Stafford is

422
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: down behind the play. All right, Well, here's the deal.

423
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Riek Willans now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

424
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: There's only one person that we turned to when we

425
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: want to talk Eagle football on this radio show. Unfortunately

426
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: that person was unavailable, so we got Ria Hughes joining us.

427
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: I guess from w I p Fresh Cooking earlier making

428
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: some chicken peccata. I'd like to put an order in

429
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: for chicken parm. I'm not a big capers person, so

430
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: how about a little chicken parm next time?

431
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 11: I over caper everything.

432
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 4: The jar because that's disgusting and you're not disgusting. Well,

433
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 4: Ria Hughes is with us, So what's the reaction Tarrek Wolan?

434
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: Excuse me, time out? Greek Wolan used to be not

435
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: as Trek. Now he's Reeke. By the way, did you

436
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: know that he changed his name? Are you aware of that?

437
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 11: So that's my question? Since I do the updates?

438
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 9: Yes, Like this goes back to Eric Lindross right, who

439
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 9: people would call Lyndros and.

440
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 11: I would have to phonetically spell it in my updates.

441
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 11: So is it Reek or Rich?

442
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: It's Reek? All right?

443
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 6: Come on?

444
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,280

Speaker 11: Yes, he called the guy called him Rick?

448
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 4: Did he really Let's hear it. Hang on a second,

449
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 4: let's hear it again. Here, go ahead to.

450
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: Seattle today, hand it off to that. Well he flips

451
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: it back to Stafford.

452
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 7: Can he get a pass off down the field and

453
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 7: is accepted?

454
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 8: Hi?

455
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: Rick Onlan can't?

456
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, I think, I think, said says Rick.

457
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 4: It comes across as Rick. You're right, I heard.

458
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 9: Rick, But now I'm from Philadelphia, so I got to

459
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 9: make sure I get it right.

460
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's recal and it is requal. And well he's

461
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 4: now member of the Seahawks one year, fifteen million. I mean,

462
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 4: the first thing I thought, Rhea, is that fifty million

463
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: seems like a lot for a prove it deal.

464
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: There must be a buttload of incentives in this thing.

465
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 9: That's what I thought. The minute I saw it. I said, well,

466
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 9: that's a proved deal. But then if you kind of

467
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 9: dig into a little bit, I mean, obviously he played

468
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 9: great as a rookie, and then it is up and downs.

469
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 11: We all saw him in the championship game, all that stuff.

470
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 9: But Clinton Hart is here. I don't think they make

471
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 9: this deal and Clint Hurt. You guys know him. He

472
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 9: is a tough, no nos, no nonsense guy.

473
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 11: If he doesn't sign off on it, I.

474
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 9: Don't like saying that this guy can be coached to

475
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 9: be coached up.

476
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 11: So I'll just say.

477
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 9: That just because I know the players that Clint has

478
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 9: dealt with here, he doesn't. My only concern is that

479
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 9: we lost Christian Parker obviously to the Cowboys.

480
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 11: Who is the secondary coach.

481
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 9: D Beck's coach tremendous, so well thought of, and obviously

482
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 9: with Quinnon, Mitchell and Cooper Dejen what he's been able

483
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 9: to do with them. They have Joe Casper now, who

484
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 9: they think high they of. But you know, but I

485
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 9: just think if Clint Hurt doesn't sign off and say,

486
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 9: you know, we can work with this kid's got a

487
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 9: lot of talent.

488
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 11: I mean, his measurables are amazing.

489
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 9: You look at it and go, well, why is Seattle

490
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 9: giving up on him?

491
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 11: But you know, I'm looking at why did you give

492
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 11: up on Kenneth Walker?

493
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 6: You know the third?

494
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 9: So are you guys just kind of just letting everybody go?

495
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 11: You got your Super Bowl? Hey, listen, the Eagles did it.

496
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 9: They let a million people go after they won the

497
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, you know, a year and a half ago.

498
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 9: So I get that you can't pay everybody, but I

499
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 9: was just curious.

500
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 11: He's twenty six years old.

501
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 9: Why you would let a kid like that with potentially

502
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 9: a lot of upside go.

503
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 7: I think the fan base was done with him. I

504
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 7: think Mike McDonald was done with them. And how do

505
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 7: Eagle fans like talented guys that get personal fouls and

506
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 7: celebrate after every incomplete pass, whether or not they caused

507
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 7: the incomplete pass.

508
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: I think this.

509
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 7: I think Seahawk fans were done with his antics, and

510
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 7: I think Mike McDonald was too.

511
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 11: Yep, oh no, and we've got plenty and listen, we go.

512
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 9: I go back to Al Harris, who's now very well

513
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 9: respected defensive coach in the league.

514
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 11: And Al Harris was a great.

515
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 9: Defensive back, but he got penalties out the wazoo and

516
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 9: it drew of us crazy.

517
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 11: So no, they will not tolerate that.

518
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 9: I mean, listen, you just go back to Game one

519
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 9: last year, Jayalen Carter, who's probably our best defensive player,

520
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 9: spitting Dak Prescott's face.

521
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 6: I wanted him.

522
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 11: Suspended the next game.

523
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 9: I wanted the Eagles to do it because there's certain

524
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 9: things you cannot tolerate. You can't have you can't have

525
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 9: a player cost you yards for dumb stuff. So if

526
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 9: he does that, then I will tell I will tell

527
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 9: you flat out, the fan base here will not tolerate it.

528
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 6: Well.

529
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: To your point, your question, Ria Ria Hughes Wip talking

530
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: about Riquill and going to Philadelphia one year fifty million, said,

531
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 4: you know, why would the Hawks let him walk? Well,

532
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: I think that you just found out what the NFL

533
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: thinks of this guy. The best he could do is

534
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 4: a one year deal in Philadelphia. Yeah, and I'm curious

535
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 4: to see what the incentives look like as well, like

536
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 4: we talked about. So that's pretty telling, right that for

537
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 4: a guy with his skill set, his physical attributes, which

538
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: are off the charts, nobody's gonna argue exactly. Yeah, the

539
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 4: fact that he can only garner a one year deal

540
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: is actually surprising even to me.

541
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 11: But you mentioned you can you can't. You can't measure

542
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 11: the mental part, that's the part.

543
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the mental part is.

544
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 9: Always an immeasurable You always hope that you have Quinnon.

545
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 11: Mitchell doesn't speak. I mean, the kid just goes out

546
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 11: there and play. They say, He's like a bit of

547
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 11: a chirper on the field.

548
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: You never hear from him, right, right.

549
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 9: He just goes out and plays, you know, so you

550
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 9: have to Those are the things that you can't measure.

551
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: Well, Ria before you go.

552
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 12: Uh.

553
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: You mentioned Jalen Carter, And we've heard some rumors about

554
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: the Eagles maybe looking to potentially move on. We've heard

555
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 4: rumors about maybe a team like the Hawks being potentially interested.

556
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: How realistic are those rumors and do you buy any

557
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: idea at all that the Eagles would part with Jalen Carter?

558
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 11: I don't.

559
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 9: What I buy is that if I'm a team, if

560
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 9: I'm a general manager, I absolutely should call on him

561
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 9: one hundred percent.

562
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 11: He's listen. They they he fell into their laps.

563
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 9: Because of all his off the field issues, right, he

564
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 9: is a phenomenal player.

565
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 11: I don't think.

566
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 9: I think Howie Roseman will take any phone call because

567
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 9: he makes a thousand phone calls, that's what he does.

568
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 9: But I just doubt that they would. He's too talented.

569
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 9: I just doubt that they would put you know, yeah, hey, if.

570
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 11: Someone offered them two first round picks and two.

571
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 9: Second round picks, I'd be like, maybe we think about it,

572
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 9: but I don't think that that's a realistic right.

573
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: All right, go back to stuff in your face with

574
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 4: capers and we'll talk soon.

575
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 11: All right, Hi, guys, you got to take out all right?

576
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: You're the best Ria Hughes wip in Philadelphia. Now, now

577
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 4: we're going to head over to New Jersey, where the

Speaker 4: Jet football.

Speaker 1: How are you, Couz, what's going on?

586
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 8: I'm doing great, guys, Softy Dick, how you guys doing good?

587
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 8: But before we even start on free agency, I just

588
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 8: want to say that one of the first times you

589
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 8: guys had me on YEP, I was ecstatic about Sam

590
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 8: Darnold and I told you as clear as day I

591
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 8: saw him holding up that Vince Lombardi trophy.

592
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: That's right, I was right it.

593
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 8: It turns out I got the jersey a little rong.

594
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: You called it.

595
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: Well, you know what we also got Leonard Williams, who

596
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 4: was a former Jet winning a championship in Seattle as well.

597
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: So we'll we'll just take all the Jet cast off

598
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: cir Tournament of Stars here in Seattle. But are you

599
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: more fired up to be on this show with your

600
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 4: favorite cousin or more fired up for their turn Geno

601
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 4: Smith going back to the Jets where it all began?

602
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: How about that?

603
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 8: Of course, I'm excited to talk to you guys. You

604
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 8: guys are fun. Do you know Smith and the Jets

605
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 8: are not. At the end of the day, I am

606
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 8: as excited as you possibly can be for Gino Smith

607
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 8: in the year of twenty twenty six compared to the

608
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 8: other quarterback options that were out there, Gardner, Midshew, Malik

609
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 8: Willis you know who are you gonna pick? At least

610
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 8: with with Gino you you pay him nothing. The Raiders

611
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 8: are taking the entire salary and he'll win anywhere between

612
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 8: three of five games, which should put you right in

613
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 8: the top three or five picks in next year's draft.

614
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 8: Then all the quarterbacks are coming out well.

615
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 7: I mean, is is justin Field still unavailable to play

616
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 7: because you're paying him twenty million dollars this year you're

617
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 7: paying Gino three, so you're really gonna have a twenty

618
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 7: million dollar backup quarterback.

619
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 8: No, you're gonna have a twenty million dead caps kit okay,

620
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 8: and Justin Fields will be somewhere else, Okay. Right now,

621
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 8: I believe Tyrod Taylor has another year left on his deal.

622
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 8: I believe last year he signed a two year deal.

623
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 8: So right now, your quarterback room is Gino Smith, right

624
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 8: Tyrod Taylor? And I'm hearing a lot of Carson Wentz.

625
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 8: And if a Gino Smith and Carson Wentz quarterback room

626
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 8: doesn't get you excited in twenty twenty six, I don't

627
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 8: know what will Well.

628
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: I got to ask you because you mentioned, you know,

629
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: bringing this guy in and going three or five wins.

630
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 4: I mean that would put you kind of close to

631
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 4: being in contention for if you win three for maybe

632
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 4: the number one pick. I mean, is this all about

633
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: saying audios for Arch in twenty twenty seven? I mean,

634
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: is that part of this that you don't want to

635
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: give a damn who the quarterback is this season?

636
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 8: Pretty much? I mean I care a little bit because

637
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 8: on the season ticket holder and on paying an it's

638
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 8: seen amount of money to go and sit in MetLife

639
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 8: Stadium every Sunday in the terrible weather, watching the terrible football.

640
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 8: But it really feels like they're completely punting on this

641
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 8: upcoming season. You have all this raft draft capital this

642
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 8: year and next year. There's really no good quarterbacks outside

643
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 8: of Mendoz at least in my opinion, in this draft

644
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 8: that you're just gonna punt it. You know, no one's

645
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 8: really quite sure how Aaron Glenn is, that is as

646
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 8: a head coach, so there's a good chance he's fired

647
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 8: at the end of in the middle, we're at the

648
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 8: end of this coming season, and then Darren Mugie, who

649
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 8: is proving to be a competent so far, will get

650
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 8: to pick his coach because Glenn was hired first and

651
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 8: then Mugie was hired.

652
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Well, what is the sure Evan Evan Evan, what's the what?

653
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 12: Like?

654
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: Like, what's the memories of Gino?

655
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: I mean, he was there for four years, He threw

656
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: more picks than touchdowns, He had a passer rating of

657
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: seventy two and didn't even complete sixty percent of his passes. Like,

658
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: what's what's the memories of this guy?

659
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 8: I'm going to give you two positive memories and then

660
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 8: I'm going to give you the memory that stands out

661
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 8: more than anything else. Okay, there is a Monday Night

662
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 8: comeback versus the Falcons where the Jets were losing and

663
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 8: came back and won on the last second banks to Gino.

664
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 8: There is a game in Miami where Geno Smith had

665
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 8: a perfect passer rating. Those are the two good and then,

666
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 8: of course, the one that every Jets fan will remember

667
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 8: is having his job broken by a fourth string linebacker

668
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 8: over a six hundred dollars bill. That's the Geno Smith

669
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 8: that we as fans remember, and that's why so many

670
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 8: Jets fans are so aghast about bringing him back. It's

671
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 8: not him as a player, even though last year he

672
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 8: was terrible. It's all the negative feelings and all the

673
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 8: negative association that his original stint with the Jets caused.

674
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 8: That was essentially the beginning of the end, the downfall

675
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 8: of the Jets. You know, if we go back two

676
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 8: thousand and nine twenty ten, the Jets make back to

677
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 8: back AFC championships. Twenty eleven, the Jets draft you know,

678
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 8: Smith in the second round, and in that preseason Skinny

679
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 8: Rex Ryan puts Mark Stanchez in in the last preseason

680
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 8: game to win a meaningless trophy called the Snoopy Bowl

681
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 8: between the Jets and Giants. Stanchez broke his arm and

682
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 8: he never played for the team again. And that was

683
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 8: really the downfall of the Jets that we're still talking

684
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 8: about a year fifteen playoff years later and right list years.

685
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 7: And to add insult to injury, the guy you tagged

686
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 7: Bryce Hall, he tweets out yesterday, Damn we sure got

687
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 7: a lot of money in Florham Park. All these contracts

688
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 7: dudes are signing, So you.

689
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: Know you got a pissed off running back. Ill.

690
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 8: He's not wrong, but I mean, if there's any position

691
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 8: I want a player to be pissed off it, let

692
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 8: it be at running back. But I mean, he's not

693
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 8: wrong in the sense that, yeah, he should be getting more.

694
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 8: He should be getting a long term deal. In my opinion,

695
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 8: he's earned it. But the dude's getting fourteen million dollars

696
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 8: this year. Let's not pretend that he's he's playing for

697
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 8: the VET minimum. He's getting fourteen million. If you someone

698
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 8: wants to pay me fourteen million dollars per a year,

699
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 8: I promise you I won't be subtweeting the team.

700
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, well is Hannah talking yet and can she share

701
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 4: her thoughts on Gino Smith going back to the Jets.

702
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 8: Hannah is not talking yet, but if she was and

703
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 8: she were to share her thoughts on Gino coming back,

704
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 8: it would just be one log screen because that's what

705
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 8: Jets fans have been feeling it since he since this

706
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 8: entire offseason with Gino.

707
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: I love it, Evan, You're the man, great stuff. Go

708
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: to bet it's getting laid out there.

709
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: Give everybody a hugging a kiss for me, Love you

710
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: and we'll talk sooner.

711
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 8: Right well, do love you, boy, Thank for having me

712
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 8: on look forward. It's around the draft.

713
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: That's my cousin, Evan, who's a big Jet fan.

714
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: Imagine being a Jet fan, how much that would just

715
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: absolutely feel suck, You feel a agony. I mean, the

716
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 4: guy has never been to a Super Bowl. His father

717
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: was a fan of Joe Namath when they won Super

718
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: Bowl three. But he's got no idea. And really I

719
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 4: blame his dad, by the way, I blame my cousin

720
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 4: Brian his father, because his father could have realized what

721
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 4: the Jets did to him and said, I don't want

722
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 4: the same thing done to my son, but he decided

723
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 4: to suck his kid in and bring him down the

724
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: sewer of New York Jet Football. He could have raised

725
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 4: him to be a Giant fan, He could have raised

726
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 4: him to be any other fan of any other team

727
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Instead, Brian lilienthal Evan's dad, my cousin,

728
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 4: decided to bring the pain that he experienced to his

729
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 4: son and turn him into a Jet fan himself.

730
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: We don't want him look at where they are.

731
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: You don't want to teach to love the rival.

732
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 4: Terrible, terrible, terrible. You know what, if it's the best

733
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: thing for your son, you do it.

734
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: You do it.

735
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 7: Matt turned my son into a Mariner. Fangate you for

736
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 7: a long time.

737
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,919

778
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: taking my dad's wedding ring in just to see if

779
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 4: that was worth a couple of thousand bucks. And or

780
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 4: he'd say, by the way, if you were still here, David,

781
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,080

Speaker 4: the picture that you put on Instagram. Your mom is

792
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,120

793
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,600

Speaker 12: playing USC in Chicago in the Big Ten Tournament. Yeah,

842

Speaker 12: but no, it'll be uh, we're excited to be here

843
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 12: and let's see what we can do it tomorrow at

844
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 12: one thirty Central time.

845
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot of this that still doesn't make

846
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 4: a lot of sense. Man, the guys like us that

847
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 4: have been around this thing a long time. But why

848
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 4: don't we just kind of start off with a view

849
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 4: from forty thousand feet on what's going on this year

850
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 4: with the team?

851
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 9: Right?

852
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: We haven't spoken in a couple.

853
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 4: Of months, and I guess if you know, if somebody

854
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 4: was on around the World cruise and finally got off

855
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 4: the boat and saw the Huskies at seven and thirteen

856
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: and fifteen and sixteen overall, they might say, ah, that's

857
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 4: kind of surprise. That's not where I thought they'd be

858
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 4: in year two under Danny Sprinkle. What's your take on

859
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 4: the overall take on what's been going on this year

860
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 4: for your basketball team, coach, Yeah, no.

861
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 12: I agree, you know, I mean it's not what we expected.

862
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 12: And you know, I mean we had high hopes with

863
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 12: kind of the roster we'd assembled, and you know, there's

864
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 12: been a lot of stuff that you know, like they say,

865
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 12: you control what you can control, and there's been a

866
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 12: lot of things that have happened that nobody has control over,

867
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 12: you know. I mean we've had eight season ending injuries,

868
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 12: you know, and that's I mean, that's unheard of. That's

869
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 12: over half our team. You know, that'd be like a

870
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 12: football roster having fifty five season ending injuries. Like it's, uh,

871
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 12: you know, it's been hard, and like I said, it's

872
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 12: not an excuse because we've still got guys that are

873
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 12: competing out there and playing well. I mean, we want

874
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 12: to think two of our last four with a group

875
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 12: of seven guys and then bj Roy, you know, a

876
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 12: non scholarship player who's come in and knocked down some shots.

877
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 12: And so I'm proud of our fight, you know, and

878
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 12: like I said, we've had some you know, we've had

879
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 12: some things not go our way, you know, some tough losses.

880
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 12: But you know, also, you know, like I said, it's

881
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 12: you know, we haven't played one game this year with

882
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 12: the roster that we put together. You know, we haven't

883
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 12: played one game, you know, and not just even a

884
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 12: couple of season ending injuries, like you know, losing Honess

885
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 12: for three four games there in mid November, you know,

886
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 12: and just never really getting a fluid lineup of who

887
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 12: who knew they knew where minutes were coming from, they

888
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 12: knew where shots were coming from, and and so it's

889
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 12: been a it's been a challenging year and and uh,

890
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 12: you know, and hopefully hopefully we learned, you know, lessons

891
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 12: like we did the first first year and and get better.

892
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 7: Well, coach, you mentioned the close losses, and one happened

893
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 7: in Eugene just a couple of nights ago, and you

894
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 7: guys had a hell of a comeback. I mean, that

895
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 7: was that was poised to be the second biggest comeback

896
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 7: in Washington basketball history. I don't know if you knew

897
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 7: that fact, but that was almost a historic comeback. And

898
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 7: you know, you got the technicals in the end and

899
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 7: I'm wondering. I was watching back this morning the last

900
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 7: ten seconds of that game, and I'm thinking, how much

901
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 7: was your frustration at the end of that game was

902
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 7: residual from the foul on the three pointer, either on

903
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 7: the foul itself or even on the refs for calling

904
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 7: that foul, because I didn't see much at all on

905
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 7: that on that shot.

906
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I mean it's probably honestly, it was

907
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 12: probably a culmination of the whole year. You know, I

908
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 12: wouldn't even say just so much the you know, and

909
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 12: I say it like that, and it's just being truthful,

910
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 12: you know, like it's not like we we should have

911
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 12: filed before they even got the shot up, you know.

912
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 12: So that's that's part of the stuff that we controlled,

913
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 12: you know, and we didn't do that. And then their

914
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 12: kid made a you know, he made the three too,

915
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 12: you know, like he had to make a hell of

916
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 12: a shot and uh, you know, and then make the

917
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 12: free throw. So you know, that's that's where I was,

918
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 12: you know, frustrated, and I thought, you know, I thought

919
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 12: Hannas got fouled down there, you know, and he should

920
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 12: have been shooting two free throws, uh, you know, with

921
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 12: the chance to you know, to tire or win that game.

922
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 12: And uh, you know, and that's that's just kind of

923
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 12: when I, uh, when I lost it, you know, I

924
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 12: I have to protect my team and my players. And

925
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 12: I think, uh, and I've said it, you know, like

926
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 12: I think Haness gets treated unfairly.

927
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

928
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 12: As great as he is, I don't see him getting

929
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 12: treated the way other stars in our league are getting treated.

930
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 12: And that's that's frustrating to me. And that was probably

931
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 12: the that was probably the culmination of it, you know.

932
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 12: And I say it like, you know, the referee who

933
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 12: ejected me, I agree with him one hunt. I should

934
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 12: have been thrown out. I deserve to be thrown out.

935
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 12: And like I said, I have no problem with that

936
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 12: at all. So but that that it was, it was

937
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 12: a culmination of you know, probably the season. Yeah, it'll

938
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 12: building up to that point.

939
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's what it looked like to me, almost

940
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 4: like it was a volcano that's just been building for

941
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 4: the last maybe couple of weeks or or a couple

942
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: of months, and there's got to be.

943
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: Again.

944
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 4: Danny Sprinkle u Doub basketball coach with US before UDUB

945
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 4: takes on USC tomorrow in the Big Ten.

946
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: Tournament.

947
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 4: Just massive frustrations with the injuries that you've talked about.

948
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Dick and I have been talking

949
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 4: about Wesley Yates, you know a lot the last couple

950
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 4: of games and you know, three for his last twenty seven,

951
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 4: nine for his last forty six from Downtown, and I'll

952
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 4: be honest, I'm just kind of wondering why you keep

953
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 4: shooting threes because they're not falling. So talk about kind

954
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 4: of your playing and how much you and Wesley are

955
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 4: on the same page with the amount of threes he

956
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 4: keeps taking.

957
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, like it's it's one of those he's

958
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 12: just going through a tough stretch. To be honest, Like

959
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 12: we all know Wesley can shoot it, you know. I

960
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 12: mean there's been games where he's opened up game like

961
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 12: the Rutgers game a couple of games ago. He opened

962
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 12: up the game, made two big threes, and he's been great,

963
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 12: getting great looks. You know that that's what's probably frustrating

964
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 12: to him, Like he's open, you know, and a lot

965
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 12: of our a lot of our you know, we've been open,

966
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 12: you know, with the Haness creating a lot of you know,

967
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 12: space for guys and the.

968
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 6: Games where we do make threes, we win.

969
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 12: It's it's simple and uh, you know, and that's you know,

970
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 12: hopefully at one point thirty tomorrow we get back and

971
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 12: knock down some shots. But you know, like Wesley, I'm

972
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 12: I'm confident in him. Uh, you know, it's just one

973
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 12: of those stretches that he's going through.

974
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 8: Now.

975
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 12: I do say the Wisconsin game that was bad, he

976
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 12: took some bad shots. Uh, and he knows that. We

977
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 12: talked about it. You know, those are low percentage shots

978
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 12: for anybody. And uh, but you know, other than that game,

979
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 12: I think, you know, he's getting wide open shots and

980
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 12: you know it's just a matter of time until he

981
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 12: knocks him down.

982
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 7: Are you happy with Hanes Stye box eleven point nine

983
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 7: attempts per game or would you like to see more?

984
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 12: It is like, and you know you can like, obviously

985
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 12: I'd love for it to be more. But he gets

986
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 12: fouled a lot too, so those don't go into attempts.

987
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 12: He gets the ball and gets double teamed a lot

988
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 12: where he has to pass out, and so it's like

989
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 12: it's not like he's not touching the ball a lot, right,

990
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 12: you know, in the games where he's not getting double

991
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 12: he's getting eighteen nineteen shots, you know, and so you

992
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 12: know a lot of times, you know, Zoom and Wesley

993
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 12: and these guys like they're open and they have to

994
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 12: shoot it because people either sitting in the paint garden

995
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 12: Honis or they you know, everybody has to game plan

996
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 12: for Honis, and so you know, it's opened up a

997
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 12: lot of stuff for Zoom, It's opened up a lot

998
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 12: of stuff for all of our players, you know, and

999
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 12: then that's where you know, other guys got to step

1000
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 12: up in those games where other guys do. We pretty

1001
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 12: much won by a comfortable margin in a lot of those.

1002
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1003
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 4: Well, Danny Sprinkle again with us on the radio show

1004
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 4: before the Dogs take on us see tomorrow. We've talked

1005
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 4: about Steinbach here a couple of times. Second team All

1006
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 4: Big Ten is voted on by the AP that came

1007
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 4: out today thirteen with the coaches, and I guess there's

1008
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 4: just an assumption, Danny, that he's gone right at the

1009
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 4: end of the year, you know, first round draft pick.

1010
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm certain that there's a.

1011
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 4: Couple of schools out there that are probably already trying

1012
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 4: to poach the guy and make some phone calls behind

1013
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 4: the scenes.

1014
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: But are you yeah, well, I mean it ain't.

1015
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 12: It ain't idn' like I said, like when I find out,

1016
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 12: if I find out who they're like, yeah, no there is.

1017
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's happening right now.

1018
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, no question it is now him. The best

1019
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 12: thing about Hannas and his you know, the people that

1020
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 12: he has around him there that they don't they're not

1021
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 12: for the riff raff, right, He's the most non ego.

1022
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 12: He doesn't even want to talk about it. I mean,

1023
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 12: GM's every GM has been in our gym. He just

1024
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 12: walks right by him like it's nothing.

1025
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 8: Wow.

1026
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 12: He doesn't even like I don't even know if he

1027
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 12: knows who they are, Like really, he just he just

1028
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 12: focuses on basketball. He's never won, cried about getting the ball.

1029
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 12: I mean, he's an unbelievable teammate. Like he's he's a

1030
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 12: absolute one of a kind.

1031
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you this, Are you of the

1032
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: assumption that this is your one and oily year with him?

1033
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 12: I mean, I yeah, I mean I would imagine. I

1034
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 12: mean he's gonna you know, you never know, you know,

1035
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 12: I mean, the one thing he does he loves, he

1036
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 12: loves you do, he loves our staff. He loves the

1037
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 12: way we coach him, the way we treat him, his

1038
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 12: family does. And so like, yeah, I wouldn't be shocked

1039
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 12: if he came back because I think in a perfect world,

1040
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 12: like he would want to come back, you know, but

1041
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 12: I think there's also you know, if you're going to

1042
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 12: be a lot of he picks, it's pretty hard to

1043
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 12: say no to that.

1044
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 7: Coach, What does impress you the most about Zoom's improvement

1045
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 7: from last year to this year.

1046
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 12: You know, he's like a lot of kids, they always

1047
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 12: say the biggest jump is from freshman his sophomore year,

1048
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 12: and it is like he's he's playing with more confidence.

1049
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 12: You know, he's shooting the basketball with more confidence. Uh,

1050
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 12: Like he was a he was a good shooter last

1051
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 12: year too. It was just you know, like once he

1052
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 12: started missing a couple, he wasn't confident enough to keep shooting.

1053
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 12: And uh, and so that's one thing we really worked

1054
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 12: on in in the offseason. And and to his credit,

1055
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 12: he's the one that did it. He's the one to

1056
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 12: put that work in, you know, but it's just him

1057
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 12: staying aggressive. Uh, you know, he got he's in better shape,

1058
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 12: he's more flexible, Like he's you know, he he learned

1059
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 12: a lot through a lot of those tough experiences last year,

1060
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 12: right you know, and so he had more confidence coming

1061
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 12: into this year and so uh yeah, I think it's

1062
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 12: been great, you know, And and he's going to continue

1063
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 12: to make jumps, he really is because the game is

1064
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 12: important to him. Uh, he's a worker.

1065
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 6: You know.

1066
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 12: We have a lot of guys like they we have

1067
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 12: to kind of kick him out of the gym, you know,

1068
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 12: to be honest, and so it uh, you know, I'm

1069
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 12: I'm really impressed with how much he's improved and uh,

1070
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 12: and he's going to continue to improve well.

1071
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 4: Danny Sprinkle again is with us on ninety three three

1072
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 4: KJJRFM and coach. You know, one of the unfortunate things

1073
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 4: about being a fan and a right now in college

1074
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 4: basketball is that you're worried about losing players a couple

1075
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 4: of ways that to the portal and of the NBA, right, so,

1076
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 4: you know, we would we would not be in years past,

1077
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 4: probably talking about a guy like Zoom, you know, taking off.

1078
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 4: But with the portal and the transfers all that stuff.

1079
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 4: I mean, is there a concern from your perspective that

1080
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 4: Zoom the album may not be here next year?

1081
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 12: I mean, you worry about everybody, right, you know, to

1082
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 12: be honest, you know, you just hope that you know,

1083
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 12: you hope that you know that the kids, especially like Zoom,

1084
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 12: being a hometown like Bruce Thorton at Ohio State, you know,

1085
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 12: like that's the perfect example, Like, yeah, he could have

1086
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 12: made way those kids that Purdue, they could have made

1087
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 12: a lot more money everywhere at other places. You know,

1088
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 12: like they wanted to leave a legacy at those places.

1089
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 12: And those are the kids, Like in twenty years, they're

1090
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 12: not going to have to think what basketball reunion are

1091
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 12: some of these kids even to go to if they've

1092
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 12: been to four or five different schools, right, you know,

1093
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 12: like Bruce Thorton, Bruce Storton is a beloved Buckeye forever

1094
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 12: fan base. They will take care of him forever when

1095
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 12: he's done playing basketball, and he'll always be able to

1096
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 12: bring his kids back. And that's you know, that's an

1097
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 12: opportunity that like Zoom will have, you know, being a

1098
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 12: local kid, uh and being a tremendous player, like the

1099
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 12: fans love them, he loves it, and uh, you know,

1100
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 12: you just that's the one thing I think that a

1101
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 12: lot of people miss with college athletics, nowadays is just

1102
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 12: you know, like how are you going to feel in

1103
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 12: ten years, you know, are you going to be able

1104
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 12: to to go back to that place that's so important

1105
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 12: to you that you put in your blood, sweat and

1106
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 12: tears too, and and and have a you know, good

1107
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 12: memories of it and have the fan base have good

1108
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 12: memories of you, you know, instead of and I'm not

1109
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 12: saying zoom, I'm saying anybody like you know, fan base.

1110
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 12: Like when kids leave, they're done with them, you know,

1111
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 12: it just it is what it is. They're done with

1112
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 12: coaches too, like that's his life and so you know,

1113
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 12: but like it is, you know, that's it's something that

1114
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 12: you know, just me personally, like I cherish it at

1115
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 12: Montana State, you know, like I love going back there,

1116
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 12: like if I'd have been to four different schools, Like

1117
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 12: that's hard, you know, and so but like I said,

1118
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 12: it's hard on the kids too, like they have like

1119
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 12: it's a business now and uh, you know, it's a

1120
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 12: there's a lot of pressure and a lot of things

1121
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 12: coming at these kids from different angles.

1122
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 7: Danny Sprinkle joining us a coach, you're always making adjustments

1123
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 7: both as as a head coach and also the CEO

1124
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 7: of the program, what adjustments did you make from year

1125
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 7: one to year two in this conference and what adjustments

1126
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 7: still need to be made to get to the next

1127
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 7: level in this conference?

1128
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, like you know, to the point we

1129
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 12: just talked about, like you you hope to have some retention,

1130
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 12: you know, like in this league, Like if you look

1131
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 12: at the teams that are you know, somewhat as it's

1132
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 12: not like they had retention, even Michigan, like Michigan had

1133
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 12: retention you know with some of those guys, and so

1134
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 12: it uh, you know, hopefully we can keep some of

1135
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 12: these young kids, you know that you know, I think

1136
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 12: you have tremendous potential, you know, and even a lot

1137
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 12: that haven't played you know, JJ and Josh here Renscher

1138
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 12: you know, who unfortunately had his things and cut short.

1139
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 12: You know, Courtland were really seeing like what he can

1140
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 12: do the last couple of games. I'm really excited about

1141
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 12: his future.

1142
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 6: And so, you know, but.

1143
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 12: Having that continuity where you're not teaching every drill and

1144
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 12: practice to fifteen new players, right and you know, trying

1145
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 12: to establish how we do things to all those players,

1146
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 12: like it's it's hard, and so that's the biggest thing

1147
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 12: and the one thing I thought, you know, that we

1148
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 12: had until some a lot of circumstances. I thought we

1149
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 12: had depth, you know, like I thought we had depth

1150
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 12: and some competition at every spot, and that just didn't

1151
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 12: come to fruition with some of the injuries, you know,

1152
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 12: and started last summer with you know, maighty Treory. You know,

1153
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 12: who's an unbelievably athlete. I mean, he's our most athletic player,

1154
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 12: and he's about seven foot seventy one and he goes

1155
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 12: down to literally twenty four hours when he landed on

1156
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 12: campus and goes down and he's out eight months. Jacob Agnsavich,

1157
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 12: you know, like he never got going. I mean he

1158
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 12: was the player to hear at Lipscomb last year, right,

1159
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 12: you know, like like he had a great year against

1160
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 12: Iowa State, Kentucky, Like he had good games, and he

1161
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 12: was just he was never able to get into shape,

1162
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 12: you know.

1163
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 6: And it wasn't his fault.

1164
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 12: It's I mean he had a screw put in his foot,

1165
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 12: like in came back and actually had a couple of

1166
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 12: good games, helped us beat Oregon at home, play great

1167
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 12: against Michigan, but he still was probably ten fifteen pounds overweight,

1168
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 12: and uh, you know, so like there's just there's a

1169
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 12: lot of un you know, unfortunate circumstances could have just

1170
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 12: kind of led us to this.

1171
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: Point, no, no doubt.

1172
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 4: Well, Danny sprinkles with us, and you know, we we

1173
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 4: talk about the injuries because they're real. I remember you

1174
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 4: spending a lot of time this year after games, before games,

1175
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 4: complaining about it, talking about it. You don't complain about

1176
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 4: the travel. I mean, your buddy at UCLA is bitching

1177
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 4: every day about to travel, for God's sakes. I mean,

1178
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 4: Cronin can't go an hour without complaining about you know,

1179
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 4: some landmark he's seen fifteen times for crying out loud.

1180
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 4: So I mean, honestly, Danny, I'm I'm I'm happy that

1181
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 4: you and Jed have not gone down that road. We

1182
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 4: haven't heard either one of you guys complain about travel,

1183
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 4: at least not publicly. But it's a it's a real deal.

1184
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you got the two East Coast

1185
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 4: road trips, you go two and two.

1186
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: But really the issue for me is how.

1187
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 4: You played when you got home right against teams like

1188
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 4: Wisconsin and Iowa. You know, Dick pointed out that you know,

1189
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 4: those teams were already here you're coming off games against

1190
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 4: Oregon waiting for you guys when they got home.

1191
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 1: How much are you still trying to figure.

1192
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 4: That aspect out, not just about performing while you're on

1193
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 4: the road, but also handling it when you get home

1194
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 4: after a long road trip.

1195
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it is hard, you know, and uh,

1196
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 12: like it is like people say what they want, it

1197
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 12: is hard, you know, and it's hard on the players.

1198
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 12: You know. We had we actually had three trips to

1199
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 12: the Midwest too, Yeah, because we had the Indiana Purdue,

1200
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 12: we had the Illinois Northwestern, and then the Rutgers Maryland

1201
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 12: right and uh you know, and then the solo game

1202
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 12: at Nebraska.

1203
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 8: Yep.

1204
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 12: So you know, I mean it's hard, but like everybody,

1205
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 12: you know, I guess not everybody but the West Coast

1206
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 12: schools have to do it. But I think that the biggest,

1207
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 12: the hardest part is the environments that you have to

1208
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 12: go play in and the teams and the coaches that

1209
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 12: you have to play and coach against. That's what that's

1210
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 12: the hardest. Like when you're going into Purdue and there's

1211
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 12: fifteen thousand people there and you're playing against Braden Smith

1212
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 12: and trade.

1213
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 6: Like, that's harder than the travel.

1214
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 12: You're going to Illinois, you know, And and I'll give

1215
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 12: our team a lot of credit, Like, you know, the

1216
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 12: Wisconsin game got away from us, you know, it just

1217
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 12: did it, did you know? But other than that, we

1218
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 12: played every team close. I mean Illinois they're beating teams

1219
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 12: by forty and we played them when they were at

1220
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 12: the hottest point in their season in the country, right,

1221
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 12: and number one team offensively, and we played them to

1222
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 12: a single didget game. Yeah, same thing with Michigan at home.

1223
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 12: It was a four point game and they don't call

1224
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 12: it goaltending and they trans down and hit a three,

1225
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 12: you know, towards the end of the game. And so

1226
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 12: like we've we've played good basketball and even though we

1227
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 12: weren't winning at times, like we weren't playing good basketball.

1228
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 12: And you know, that was the frustrating thing that our

1229
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 12: team didn't get rewarded within the win loss category at times.

1230
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 6: Right.

1231
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 12: But if the travel is it is, it's hard, it's hard.

1232
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 12: And we got stuck actually I think two or three times.

1233
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 12: You know, we had to sleep in Missoula, Montana one

1234
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 12: time on the way home. Yes, our flight got diverted.

1235
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 12: We didn't get back until like seven o'clock the next night.

1236
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 12: One time we got stuck and had to actually fly

1237
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 12: into Portland and stayed on the tarmac till six am,

1238
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 12: and finally I got the team off and got him

1239
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 12: a hotel and then we bust back and didn't get

1240
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 12: back till four point thirty that night. So, like there

1241
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 12: was there was a lot of stuff too, you know,

1242
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 12: it was just kind of it was.

1243
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 8: It was.

1244
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 12: It's one of those years like didn't matter travel, injuries,

1245
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 12: anything that could go wrong went wrong.

1246
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well we got the Big ten tournament to

1247
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 6: make it right.

1248
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: That's right.

1249
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 4: I was going to say, there's there's a simple way

1250
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 4: to get over all this. Go in a few games

1251
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 4: in Chicago and go watch that selection show on Sunday

1252
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 4: and wait for your name to be called. That'd be

1253
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 4: a great idea, no doubt. All right, well, listen, it's

1254
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 4: time to get this thing turned around.

1255
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: You know that, you know, either this year, next year,

1256
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 1: or whatever.

1257
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 4: So it's been a crazy, frustrating year, no question about that.

1258
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 4: But looking forward to seeing what we can do to

1259
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 4: get this thing back on the right track.

1260
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:16,720
