1 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something controversial to follow up our with 2 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: our on our discussion with Sean Salisbury. I think part 3 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: of it is you have to like to run. You 4 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: have to derive satisfaction from a damn good running play. 5 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: And again, it's surpassing league. We all know this, regardless. 6 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: I just don't think it excites him. I don't. I 7 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: think that's part of it that you can get. I 8 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: think as much of a coaching high sustaining a drive 9 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: with a damn good run call as you can. You know, 10 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: twenty six yard pass over the top. That's more exciting, 11 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: But what's what's more effective? Well, actually you need both. 12 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: That's the point, because you know what both does. You 13 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: know what that run does. It sustains the drive and 14 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: then it gives you four more plays to fling it 15 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: around as part of the deal. I really think that's 16 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: part of the that's part of the issue. Interesting stuff 17 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: from him. 18 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: Now. 19 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: We were expecting a phone call to the hotline here 20 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get it at anytime from a Wolve's point guard, 21 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Mike Conley. That was scheduled. We may try to reach 22 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: out to Wolve's officials if you're around Mike Conley right now. 23 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: Let him know we're looking for him because we'd love 24 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: to chat with him.

On and for, us it's you, know 84 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 3: finding refinding our identity and who we want to be. 85 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 3: Early and you know that's WHY i say The cup, 86 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: game regular season, game no matter what it, IS i 87 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 3: think we're just trying to get to a level where 88 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: we're you, know playing at our best and doing that 89 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: as quickly as. 90 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: Possible your job is to not pay attention to who you're, 91 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: playing just you, know play the next game that's in 92 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: front of. You and, LATELY i feel, like especially offensively 93 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: and maybe some the even, defensively in terms of at 94 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: least some, improvement we've seen a. Change the skeptic would, say, well, 95 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: yeah but let's see when you're playing At. Denver let's 96 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: see when you're playing better Teams New york where it 97 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: didn't go real well defensively. There do you? See what 98 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: do you? See do you see anything starting to come 99 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: together in the way you've dispatched some teams as you're 100 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: kind of supposed to, dispatch where you haven't sort of 101 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: played down to the level of the. Competition what do 102 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: you see most, RECENTLY. 103 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: I thought we've approached these games in a real professional. 104 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: MANNER i think the starting guys go out there and 105 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: they kind of set the. Tone they get us off 106 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: to a, really really good. 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: Start. 108 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 3: Exactly what we need in games like that where you 109 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 3: don't want to, be you, know sleepwalking into the, game 110 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: where having to play from behind on the road and 111 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: doesn't matter you know who you're, playing but it's always 112 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: good to get get off to a good start and 113 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: kind of approach the game with that kind of you, know, 114 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: Mindset AND i think you, know Aunt Julius Dante rudiello's, 115 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: guys that really kind of set the table for. 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: Us you, know in those types of, situations is there 117 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: any chance you, know it looks to me like it's 118 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: gone really good, offensively much better than it has, defensively 119 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: start to finish with some, exception and you, know there's 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: a lot there. 121 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: Was a lot of talking training, camp but we want 122 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: to get back to being the best defensive team in the, 123 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: league as you guys were a couple of seasons. Ago 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: but as you, say every season is, Different players change 125 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: and evolve a little. Bit is it possible that we're 126 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: going to learn that the, strength the number one strength 127 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: of this team might be offense more than. Defense is that? 128 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: Possible and can you get away with it that way 129 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: or thinking of it that? 130 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: Way you, know we just talked ABOUT i think each 131 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: season you come back different and in the years, past 132 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: obviously we've hung our hat defensively and we still believe 133 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: in that as a core principle who we want to. 134 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: Be but you, know two things can be. True we 135 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: can also improve. Offensively we can you, know be a 136 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: team that people worry about on that in even more 137 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: so than. Defense but we want our defense to to you, 138 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: know be in line with that. Offense you, know if 139 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: we can get a top ten offensive, defense you're you're 140 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: in union kind of in the. Money you, know you 141 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: can do something with. That but we don't necessarily want 142 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: to be a team that's a top five or ten 143 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: offense and bottom half to the back end. DEFENSE i 144 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: don't think we we we have we'll have as much 145 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: success as we can kind of marriage the two. Together 146 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: so we're still trying, to you, know make that happen 147 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: and get our defense back playing at that level that 148 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: we feel we can. 149 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: Sustain what have you seen? 150 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: That you, know the julious numbers have been, random numbers 151 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: have been outstanding this. Season everything, LOOKS i think even 152 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: better than it was when he came back from injury last. 153 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: Year he looks to, me really, live, fresh. Decisive what 154 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: do you. 155 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: See, yeah he's playing at you, know obviously at a 156 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: really high. Level he's playing with just just a level of. 157 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: FOCUS i think that has kind of carried down to 158 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 3: the rest of the rest of the, team you, know 159 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: the way that he approaches the, games the way he 160 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 3: prepares for, games what he's doing in the games to 161 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: get guys, involved and you, know kind of helped carry 162 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: the carry the team in different. Ways offensively has been 163 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: really impressive because he, takes you, know a lot of 164 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: tension when he's, playing and and with that comes the 165 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 3: responsibility of of of making each, other you, know making 166 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: guys better around.

TOUGH 204 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: i feel like if it's this difficult to to, me 205 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: what still comes down, to more than, anything effort from the, 206 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: players convincing the players to take you, know to to 207 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: just play with some, effort even though it's a it's 208 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: an exhibition, game that we wouldn't have to have all 209 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: these different, approaches and last year we had to have 210 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: a comedy routine in the middle of the, games and 211 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: and who, What who's going to? Play? Who you've been 212 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: around this league a long time AND i think you 213 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: probably would remember a time when you, know you could 214 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: get at least closer to a representative effort Any All star. 215 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: Games is it just? Gone is it just never gonna happen? 216 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: Again why is it this difficult where we have to 217 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: every year try to come up with a different. 218 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 3: Gimmick, yeah it's. Tough this seems like you, know the, 219 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 3: years you, know went further and further you, get you, 220 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: know players get in the mindset of you, know what 221 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: matters most is obviously winning In june and being healthy In, 222 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 3: june and you got these you, know the best players 223 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 3: on those teams will be playing On All star, weekend 224 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: And All Star weekend is a lot for. Them you, 225 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: know it's a. Lot you're doing a lot of moving, 226 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 3: around you're having a peer, everywhere and while the rest 227 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: of the league is resting and you, know recovering and 228 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: do all this other stuff to get ready for the second. 229 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: Half so it's it's you know kind of that you 230 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 3: know that that that, line you, know it's kind of 231 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 3: tough to to to deal with for some. People and 232 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,599 Speaker 3: and so then you don't get the most out of, 233 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 3: guys you don't get the best. Effort you, know it's 234 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: not really like you can go out there and, say 235 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 3: whoever wins gets the, most get this amount of money 236 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: and they'll be you, know make them play that much more. 237 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: Harder i'm not sure how you fix that portion of. 238 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 3: It you, know the guys got to want to compete 239 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 3: in those. Situations and for the most, part LIKE i, 240 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 3: said it's more of you, know guys are trying to 241 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: get to the, break to get healthy and as fast 242 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: as the game is nowadays and mini, games you, know 243 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: guys are miles of guys are running in games because 244 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: of the pace of play and stuff like.

THEMSELVES i think it's the best supporting cast 253 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: That joker has had in a wild maybe. Ever But 254 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: i'm just looking at And i'm curious to know how 255 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: closely you've been following. This just his shooting alone the 256 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: last several, games eighteen for twenty, three sixteen for, nineteen 257 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: ten for, fourteen twelve for, fifteen there's a, seven, well 258 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: the seven for TEN i think against you, guys ten for. Fifteen, 259 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: mike he's shooting almost seventy five percent from the floor 260 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: his last ten. Games what when you watch him and 261 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: you see him or you, observe do you think we 262 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: already have reached a point where we're seeing all time 263 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: greatness in his? 264 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 3: Case, yeah it's it's, unreal you. Know just we were 265 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 3: talking about the day in practice because obviously we were 266 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: paying to play against, Them SO i find of getting 267 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 3: a little bit of a peak at what he's been doing, 268 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: lately and you you just that just doesn't. Happen you, 269 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: know it's something that just emphasizes how special a player 270 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 3: he is and how easy the game is for. Him it's, 271 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 3: just you, KNOW i think we're, all you, know witnesses 272 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: or something really really. Special and you, Know i'm thankful 273 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: to get to compete against him and and and try 274 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: to stop, them you know WHAT i. Mean that's just 275 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: it's just unreal that he's able to do that on 276 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: a nightly, basis and and you, know bare like he's 277 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: breaking the sweat half the. Time so it's it's it's it's. 278 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: Unreal, well it sounds like The. CLIPPERS i heard some 279 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: postgame where they, said, basically our plan was make him, 280 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: score which is right out of your, playbook right when 281 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: you guys have had some. Success it's all, right he's 282 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: most dangerous when he's, distributing when he's wheeling and dealing 283 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: and you, know involving his, Teammates and we don't want 284 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: to give up, fifty but we might be okay giving 285 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: up thirty five if he's not doing that other. Stuff to, 286 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: me that still sounds, like at least in, theory the 287 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: best approach to take with. Him do you guys look 288 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: at it that way as. 289 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: Well we've taken that approach quite. OFTEN i think he's 290 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: scored sixty on us one time trying to do. That 291 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: but there's no right, WAY i think to defend. HIM 292 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: i think you've got to just you, know his playmaking 293 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 3: ability is probably the most deadly thing that gets their, 294 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: team you, know all their guys, going including. Himself so 295 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: there's some you, know validity to turning him into a, 296 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: SCORER i, guess but not necessarily letting him. SCORE i 297 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 3: don't know if it's two different. Things we're not trying 298 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: to just let him shoot up the, shots still trying to. 299 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 3: Defend BUT i guess you could pick and choose between the. 300 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: Two you, know we don't want to getting fifteen sixteen 301 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: assists and you know everybody else on the team getting 302 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: twenty twenty points in games and making that much heart 303 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 3: of the. Guard but he's he's, really you, know just 304 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 3: really you don't have a good choice against, him, Honestly, 305 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: no that's for. 306 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: Sure last ITEM i saw, TODAY i think this was 307 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: today The Jalen clark kind of crashed your presser when 308 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: you were talking about various, items including THE Nba, cup 309 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: AND i think he asked a question About christmas gifts 310 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: for the young, players and you said some of the effect, of, 311 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: Well i've spent thousands on you.

WORTHY 414 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: i think of a minute or two we don't talk 415 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: a lot of soccer on this, program but introduced to 416 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: the listeners the pretty significant change that our favorite league 417 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: affecting our favorite team has made official now. 418 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 4: Correct, yeah so for years and years THE mls would 419 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 4: be running in the, summer that would be the bulk 420 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 4: of their. 421 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: Season, well they just approved to vote. 422 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 4: Today everywhere else In europe and the top leagues run the, 423 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 4: Opposite so summers are off season, basically Not june And, 424 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 4: july that's their off. Season every other month they're playing 425 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 4: throughout the. Winter so now they've approved THE mls to 426 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: in order to compete financially and they want to be 427 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 4: on the same page as The european. Leagues now they're 428 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 4: switching to that. Schedule so they'll start in the fall 429 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 4: and they'll end in the. Spring but there's a month 430 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: break of winter break in, there and that's the. Idea 431 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 4: so they're so flipping their. 432 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: Schedule in other, words there with this new, schedule The 433 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: loons would have a game at home In. 434 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 4: January uh so unknowns to. Me so now they have 435 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 4: a winter. Break, okay so how long does that will? 436 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 4: Go like Mid december Through. January but you're still you're 437 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 4: still going to hit it In, february then you're going 438 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: to hit it in Early, December. November, yeah you're going 439 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: to hit it In, february so there's still going to 440 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 4: be two or three months of brutal. 441 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: Homegame how many other teams are in locations as unforgiving 442 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: as ours when it comes to winter quite a, bit 443 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: quite a, few so you know tell. ME i, mean in, 444 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: theory this sounds like it's illogical BECAUSE i don't associate 445 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: soccer with cold. Weather but is this routine In? Europe 446 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: or are we talking about In europe their place where 447 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: it's never going to be as cold as the places 448 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about. 449 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 4: Here, well that's what it, is so In, europe like In, 450 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 4: england yet it's cold and fifty degrees all the, time 451 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 4: but it never really it's very rare that it would. 452 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: Snow you, know it stays around your even In. January 453 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 4: it's in your forties or. Fifties i'm looking at the 454 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 4: map of THE. Mls you've Got, Toronto, Montreal New, england 455 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 4: a couple Of New york, Teams, Chicago, Seattle. VANCOUVER i 456 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 4: mean those are All, Denver Salt Lake. City those are 457 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 4: all teams that are going to be just very very. 458 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: Cold all, Right so you're the soccer, PURIST i, mean 459 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 4: can can? Soccer what's can you have any kind of, 460 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 4: meaningful meaningful soccer if it's, sleeping or it's, snowing or 461 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 4: the field is slick in a way that we accept 462 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 4: if you don't have an indoor you, know football, stadium 463 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: that that's part of The National Football. League but it 464 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: seems counterintuitive THAT i understand what they're trying to, balance 465 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 4: but if you're changing the competition to that degree on 466 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 4: the basis of when you're playing these, games isn't this 467 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 4: going to end up being a net? LOSS i, mean 468 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 4: you would think the difference is that you don't have, 469 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 4: to like in, football if it's, pouring driving, rain you're 470 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 4: going to have trouble holding onto the. Ball that's not 471 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 4: really a thing in, Soccer so is that but you're 472 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 4: going to miss out ON i, mean a month and 473 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 4: a half break from your, season right smack in the 474 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 4: middle just doesn't seem like something you would want to. 475 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: Do And i'm presuming they do that because they're, saying, 476 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: well we're acknowledging this is kind of goofy to do 477 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: this in the, winter so we'll try to break it 478 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: up a little bit and not have the entire winter to. 479 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 4: Cover THAT'S i, mean that's the. Idea but again and 480 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 4: they say that OTHER i don't know which leagues they're referring. To, 481 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 4: Yeah i'm sure they're, there but none of the major ones. 482 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 4: Do but they have an advantage like In spain And. 483 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 4: England it just never gets as. Called, yeah that's what strikes. 484 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: Me, SO i, mean because we've HAD i want to, 485 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: say we've already had Some chili games already for the, 486 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: loans have we. 487 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: Not, well there was a controversial one THAT i was 488 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 4: at For TEAM. 489 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: Usa they played. It they played In. February it was 490 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: like six degrees and everyone was up and the arms, went, 491 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: yeah so how is the quality of?
