Speaker 3: other things happen, and that Saturday. In college football professional

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: football playoff spots could be decided based on the outcome

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: of games this coming Sunday. Now, the NBA is boring

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: as all hell as far as I'm concerned.

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: Don't watch. That's not important to be checking that out

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: right now.

71
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm a football calendar. We really got some good

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: things going.

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: We definitely do. And it is a very consequential Week

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: twelve upcoming here. We'll dig in on that. You're off

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: with the Chargers play by play, so you can really

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: lean into your roots. You can watch the Chicago Bears.

77
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: There are many photos floating around of a young Matt

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: money Smith wearing a Walter Payton jersey. There there are

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: front of a Christmas tree on the south side.

80
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: I had a Walter Payton jersey when I was a

81
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: little kid, and it was the the old one that

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: had the three quarter sleeves on it, you know, so

83
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: it wasn't really like an official jersey. It was like

84
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: the one you would buy at Sears Roebuck, you know,

85
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: that was the knockoff. And then I believe I had

86
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: a Jim McMahon jersey.

87
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 4: I've seen you in the nine jersey as well.

88
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, those were the two that I had when I

89
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: was a little kid, and then I had the and

90
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: I think the I think the Jim McMahon jersey might

91
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: have come in the hutch play set if I ran

92
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: the helmet with the helmet, yeah, that may be how

93
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: I had the number nine.

94
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 4: That's a fun game to play. Can you name every

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: team's representative from against say nineteen eighty two and nineteen

96
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: eighty four ish? What was who was the chosen figure?

97
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: The thirty two, the eighty eight for Lynn Swan if

98
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 4: you were a Steelers guy with the Jack Lambert obviously

99
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: with Tony Thorpe set for the Cowboys. Speaking of the Cowboys,

100
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: I don't want to jump over what I was.

101
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: You know what, Let me do this real quick, just real,

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: real quick, and then you can get right back to it.

103
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: Your company, man, I want to mention you got a shill. Well,

104
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: it's a big one because we're talking about the NFL,

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: and the NFL chose the Petros and Honey Show all

106
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: right for their grand prize, for their big grand prize

107
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: drawing that we're going to pull today. Every single day

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: this week, including today, we are going to give away

109
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: and gave away one hundred dollars NFL Shop gift card.

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: Now we've got four winners. We'll get one more today.

111
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: We're going to do that in the four o'clock hour,

112
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: and then in the five o'clock hour, we are going

113
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: to pull that grand prize winner. That grand prize winner

114
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 3: is going to get a two night's day at Resorts World,

115
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: Las Vegas and a four pack to see Raiders Broncos

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: at Allegiant Stadium on December seventh. So Resorts World, if

117
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: you've ever been there, you know, victory lap starts in

118
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: the lap of luxury, premium rooms, bold flavors, and knights

119
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: that play to win. That's what Resorts World is football,

120
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: and it's a reminder to watch Good Morning Football overtime

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: weekdays at four pm. I know you watch every single

122
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: day Fox eleven Plus with Kyle Brandt, Jamie Erdahl, and

123
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: Manti Tale. Manti joined us a little bit earlier this week.

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: That was a sensational conversation with Notre Dame in the

125
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: college play.

126
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: Let's not get sidetracked with that because I think that

127
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: consumes the next nine hours, whether we're whether we're on that.

128
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: To your point, I said, Tony Dorset would be the

129
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: Cowboys rep And you said, speaking of the Cowboys.

130
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: Well, I was going to say, not skipping over what

131
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: is a deeply important for the teams that are trying

132
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: to get into the best possible spot or just get

133
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 4: into the January NFL tournament upcoming here. I mean Bucks

134
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: and Rams is huge here. You know, both of those

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: teams probably are going to get in. I don't know

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 4: if the Bucks definitely do.

137
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: If they drop this one, the Panthers really going to

138
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: win the South? What other team could possibly win the

139
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 3: NFC South than the Bucks? Like, not the Falcons. Well, people,

140
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: it's the Panthers. But they blew that game against the

141
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: Saints that really dealt them.

142
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 5: You know.

143
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: That's that's why I look at the Bucks like, eh.

144
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: Well, I say all the time, you know they people

145
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: always talk about life is short, life is also long.

146
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 4: That also applies to a pro football season. Certainly you

147
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: feel like, oh, it's gone so fast, and sure it has,

148
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 4: but also things happen that people don't fully notice. We

149
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: signed off somewhere around late September on the Bucks being

150
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: a contender for the Super Bowl. If you've been paying

151
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: attention to them, they ain't great. The Rams are really

152
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: coming to deepy. Oh yeah, that was a big conversation

153
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: a couple few weeks ago.

154
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: It's Matthew Stafford in the Rams.

155
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: That was also the conversation on one around one Daniel Jones,

156
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: who has the Chiefs this weekend important to Chargers fans

157
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: of course, and Broncos fans within the sound of our

158
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: voice too, because.

159
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: Big win for the Bolts last night with the Texans

160
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: taking out the Bills.

161
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely if the Colts. If you look at it, it's

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: kind of eight nine teams trying to squeeze into those

163
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: seven spots available in the AFC. And I'll tell you

164
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: the Steelers better not lose to your bears. Are They're

165
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: in some real jeopardy of missing out. You can go

166
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: through a number of games, and perhaps we will over

167
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: the course of this, but I was going to mention

168
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: about America's alleged team. The Dallas Cowboys are part of

169
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: a trio of games that you may hold up as

170
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: the best Thanksgiving trio of games that we've seen in

171
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: the last couple of decades.

172
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: I mean this coming Thanksgi. We're not talking about Cowboys

173
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: ego on Sunday.

174
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 4: I'm talking about No, I'm cat coming the first.

175
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: Day, we're jumping to the bird and you got a

176
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: ten am, you got a one pm, and now we

177
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: got the five pm for Thanksgiving Day. Yeah, you're talking

178
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: about the trio.

179
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: And you go, I mean, let whether the Chiefs win

180
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: or lose this Sunday they play in Big d and

181
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: if the Cowboys, and I kind of think they are

182
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: going to beat the Eagles given the way the Eagles

183
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 4: have been tracked, a messing, a little bit of messing

184
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: with fire, and I feel like Dallas.

185
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: They really kind of solidified itself with the returning to

186
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: Kobe Dean, and it just feels like you can't run

187
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: on them anymore.

188
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: I hear you. But on the other side of that,

189
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: on the other side of that, I don't want to

190
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 4: get sidetracked too far away from Los Angeles right out

191
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 4: of the gate here. But you do wonder looking at

192
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,359
Speaker 4: the NFL, was Jerry Jones right to not sign Micah Parsons.

193
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: Well, look, it's a one game sample and it was

194
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: against the Raiders, who are terrible. But Quinn Williams is

195
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: dominant himself. Announced reminded everyone that you remember when Quinn

196
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: Williams was the guy that everyone said was yeah, there's

197
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones with then chest right behind Aaron Jones, there's

198
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: Chris Jones, and there's Aaron Donald. I'm sorry Aaron Donald.

199
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: Right behind him is is Chris Jones, and this Quinn

200
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: Williams and Quinn might be better than like That was

201
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 3: an actual conversation.

202
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 4: The effect for the first twenty years of this millennium

203
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: were do not sign any New England Patriots because if

204
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: you expect them to perform on the level that they

205
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: did in Foxborough, it's fools gold. It doesn't transfer. Chargers

206
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: learned that with JC Jackson, right, well, so many teams

207
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: did horrible. The opposite is true with the Jets. If

208
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: you got to like a guy, you liked them come

209
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: out of school. But the Jets drafted him like a

210
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 4: little get him because he's been he has the stake

211
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 4: of the Jets on him. You can't hold that against him.

212
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: Right, So you got Chiefs Cowboys the afternoon one could well,

213
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: if Joe Burrow's healthy and he's going to be playing,

214
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: that's the night one. Yeah, that's the night one is

215
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: Dangles Baltimore.

216
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: That's deeply important for the Chargers and Steelers and Texan

217
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: in Broncos and everybody.

218
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: You said you said eight or nine, it's eleven, like

219
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: that's this year. The AFC is now I'm not not

220
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: by my team. Right, So you've got four division winners

221
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: right right now as it stands, Colts, Patriots, Steelers, and Broncos.

222
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 4: Right, Colts lose, Let me just say this to you.

223
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: Colts lose to the Chiefs, which obviously there their favorite

224
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: to lose that game. Beware the Jacksonville Jaguars the pleasure

225
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: of no, They're going to prove my point now. So

226
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 4: there's your four winners right now, here's your wild card Chargers, right, Bill's, Jags, Texans, Ravens, Chiefs.

227
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: That's eleven already, that's ten. We're now with ten teams

228
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: and i haven't even gotten to the there's one more

229
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,119
Speaker 4: that I'm forgetting. Well, what's wild is is the inversion

230
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: of what you think are the best teams. You have

231
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: the Broncos and Patriots, who nobody thinks are the two

232
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 4: actual best.

233
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: Tis ten. It's ten teams fighting for seven spots. Three

234
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: are going right now. The wildcard teams are the Chargers, Bills,

235
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: and Jags, meaning the Texans, Chiefs, and Ravens are currently

236
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: on the outside. Looking in well, and I suspect that

237
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: a lot of those teams are, or at least one

238
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: or two of those teams are going to overtake who's

239
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: in front of them in the standings right now, I

240
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: do think the Ravens are going to surpass the Steelers.

241
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: That doesn't give another Steelers out. Yeah, the Steelers are,

242
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: They'll be out, not in the playoffs. Look, if they

243
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 4: lose to the Bears, this would be a big one.

244
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: It might swing some things. But they still have after

245
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: this one Buffalo at Detroit and two more with the Ravens.

246
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: I mean they could, you know, not ideal.

247
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: They're tracking towards nine to eight with the loss to

248
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: the Bears, or maybe even eight to nine, and that

249
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: might spell the end for Mike Tomlin, which would be something.

250
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: In the meantime, speaking of those Steelers, I don't want

251
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: to get ugly. I just was celebrating where we are

252
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: on the calendar and all of that. But a couple

253
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: of Sunday nights ago, yeah, I.

254
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: Was absolutely wrecked by the Chargers.

255
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: The Steelers did it was an embarrassment. Yeah I didn't.

256
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: I didn't show up. I protected you on Claude Van

257
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: damashek Yeah, zero for nine on third class half fool.

258
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 4: You know that doesn't really understand the world. Rodgers scared

259
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: as as any man in his forties or an old

260
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: man is more aware of his mortality than a twenty

261
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: three year old. So of course, display Peyton and Brady

262
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: and anyone else of that age. When he sees a

263
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: sizeable guy running towards him very fast, his move is

264
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: to turtle or to get rid of the ball so

265
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: he doesn't take a smack. So that's Aaron Rodgers. And

266
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: now now he's a broken left wrist. How's he going

267
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: to defend himself. How's he's gonna throw the ball away?

268
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: So how he's gonna do it against the bear? So

269
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 4: back to that Sunday night game, the Chargers dominated. I

270
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: think if you are a Bolts fan, you probably a

271
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 4: car really Smith, I loved.

272
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 3: It, touchdown Chargers one.

273
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was said that all the time, over and over,

274
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: and Daniel Jeremi was like, I told you about Justin Herbert.

275
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: I told you he was going to be the best

276
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: of them all and all that kind of crap. Whenever

277
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: he claims after the fact. Anyway, but I'm sure you

278
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 4: were having a wonderful time, as were the people who

279
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 4: weren't waiving terrible towels in the stadium that night. I

280
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: was glad I didn't go, you know, I I there

281
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: would have been a price was quite substantial. Yeah, that

282
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: would have been a terrible night. There was the Gills,

283
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: John and Koschek wanted to go. I said, I got

284
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: a hunch about this one. I don't think we should bother,

285
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 4: and we didn't.

286
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: That's that's a topic that I can continue to address

287
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: over and over again. Just the great dist service you

288
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: did to your son that.

289
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I should have made him a Chargers fan. He'd

290
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 4: be much happier.

291
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: Should have madehi a Dodger fan. He's allowed to do

292
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: whatever a Laker fan, a Charger or Rams fan. You

293
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: know why because he was born in Los Angeles, he

294
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: was raised in Los Angeles. His pals at school are

295
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: all showing up and talking about the Laker game from

296
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: the night before and the Kings winning the Stanley Cup

297
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: back to back years. That's what they're all talking about.

298
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 3: They're talking about Justin Herbert.

299
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 4: He's been around to celebrate a couple of Cups won

300
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 4: by the Black and Gold.

301
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: How many games did he see the Black and Gold

302
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 3: play the year they won the Cup.

303
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: At least a couple Okay, they make their swing through

304
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: so cowo.

305
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: You could have taken them to twenty Kings games. You

306
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: could have season tickets to the Kings and the It

307
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: could be enjoying, you know, like the.

308
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: Real fans like Snoop Dog he loves it. Yeah, that's who.

309
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: That would be, my contemporary, Just.

310
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: An old man and his son and sharing the moments

311
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: that you and your dad shared because you were a

00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: We go to the games too. We didn't go to

316
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: this one, and we dodged a bullet. As it turned out,

317
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: I was quite wise to steer him. I didn't know

318
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: that roots were meaningless.

319
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: Tore they are meaningless.

320
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,240

324
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: High school football in Los Angeles with a bunch of

325
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: football playing buddies.

326
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 6: And you're forcing him to be a Pittsburgh fan.

327
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: I won't be represented like that. That's that's ugly from

328
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: both of you. I know you put it.

329
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600

00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: him in Steelers ones eaes and you had him in

331
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Penguin sweaters when he was a little kid.

332
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what what a disgrace to the colors of

333
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: the city. It is now. Listen, he's he's his own

334
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: free will.

335
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: It's not his free will to please his old man.

336
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: He wants a cheer for another pro football team. He

337
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: just can't do it within my four on that bus.

338
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: He wants the approval of his old man. Old man

339
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: to go look at my luck.

340
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 4: Come on, well, listen, he has a terrible town. He

00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: owns one.

342
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: I owned no reason for him to have one.

343
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: Well guess what you know?

344
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: What him of those chains that bind him.

345
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do it and instead tend to

346
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: your own house.

347
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: I do.

348
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: I got it. But you know how excited I didn't

349
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: talk about your girls?

350
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: What do you mean?

351
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: My girls love baseball. They're big Dodger fans. You know

352
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: how excited they've been these last ten years. They celebrated.

353
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: And I was sitting on the couch watching Game seven

354
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,080

Speaker 3: in Nashville because were on the road with the Titans.

356
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: But I'm watching watching the game with my daughter.

357
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: She's all like the movie with Vigo Mortensen where he

358
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: was a bad guy who's like a gangster murderer Green Book.

359
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: No not no, he was like a murder and then

360
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: he goes to some small town. Yeah, and then the

361
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: mobsters come to get him. He's like, I left that

362
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 4: life behind. That's Matt money Smith. He's he's ashamed of

363
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 4: his roots. He doesn't want anybody to know. He's Oh no,

364
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: I'm on the surfboard.

365
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: He's he's robbing out Chicago in nineteen ninety one, I

366
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: was seventeen years old.

367
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,960

00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: Second I run the South side of Chicago again until

370
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one? Would I hang on to that when

371
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 3: I've got the glorious Dodger Stadium and the boys in

372
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: blue for the boys in summer and daughters that love

373
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: going to the ballpark.

374
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 4: In January of nineteen eighty six, was it a special day?

375
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 4: Was it a special year? In fact? With you and

376
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: your old man, my brothers. When the Chicago Bears whipped

Speaker 4: all but the Dolphins.

378
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: Barely remember it. I'm not kidding. I remember it, but

379
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 3: not like it with some sort not like I not

380
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: like I remember well.

381
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: Ironic, iron they see.

382
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 3: But that's the interesting thing about championships is you think

383
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: it's gonna be this seminal moment of your your sporting

384
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: you know, your sporting fandom, and it just, I don't know,

385
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: it just ends up kind of being like, aw, all right,

386
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: well that happened. Now what are we going to do?

387
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 4: You speak for yourself if that's how it resonates it.

388
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: I did go out and celebrate in the streets when

389
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: I was a Laker season ticket holder in two thousand,

390
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: because I went to damn near every single regular season

391
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: game in almost every I think I went to every

392
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: single postseason game, including the historic one against Portland, the

393
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 3: coming back from seventeen down in the fourth, the Kobe shack,

394
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: and when they won the title that year, a pal

395
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: and I went into the streets and celebrate them.

396
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 4: I loved that Lakers rally in the fourth quarter. I

397
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 4: remember it well. They stopped posting Rashid Wallace, who was

398
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: killing them the whole game and the Lakers overcame out

399
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 4: it hipp and melted down. I listen, I can live

400
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 4: in the moment and enjoy what's going on locally, I said,

401
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 4: all right, I mean listen, I said before we even

402
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 4: started the show, I was thrilled for Tim Kits on

403
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 4: a human level because I knew he was rejoicing when

404
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: the Dodgers got.

405
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: Over, by the way, mostly because he was pulling checks.

406
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he gets paid for the day.

407
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 4: Kate, are you going to defend yourself?

408
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,439

409
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 6: do appreciate that. It was heartfelt, and I really do appreciate.

00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 6: A full month of scam. It was like twenty six shows.

425
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,119

440
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 4: When I say so, that's the performance when you go

Speaker 4: touch down, chargio, you don't mean it.

442
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: I do. No, that's the charge you were talking about.

443
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: You know how am I fired up for the Bears

444
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: versus Steelers? Not in the least like I legitimately have

445
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: not had a single emotional bone in my body for

446
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: any Chicago sporting team for at least fifteen.

447
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 4: You were a White Sox kid, though, right I was.

448
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: I should have been, but I was not. I was

449
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: a Cubs kid because my grandma raised me and she

450
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: couldn't drive, so we would just spend afternoons out of

451
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: school together watching the Cubs on WGN because they played

452
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: all day games.

453
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 4: When they got over the hump, finally, my mom.

454
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: Cried tears of sadness when she said, aren't you excited?

455
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: And I said, I gotta be honest with you. I'm

456
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: not like I wish I'm trying to. I said, I'm

457
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: really like trying to emotionally feel this right now, and

458
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: nothing's happening. Like it's not working for me.

459
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 4: You're so marinated in booze now you're you're you're immune

460
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: to human emotion.

461
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: It truly was. It was the Lakers and the Kings

462
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: that did it to me.

463
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 4: You know, Oh, I remember when the Kings won their Cup.

464
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: I said something about it would have been better in

465
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: the purple and gold, and you said, buzz kill.

466
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: That sounds right, sounds right now. When I when the

467
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: Blackhawks and the Kings were tangling in the conference finals,

468
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: and and my mother was, you know, and Tony Zudoc

469
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: was saying.

470
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 4: Don't say you did. Don't say you're rooting for the King.

471
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: Said mom, I don't give a good goddamn about the Blackhawks.

472
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, they can get swept. You know,

473
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: I got the Kings. Look, Robata and I are like this.

474
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: You know these rob Blake and I we play golf together.

475
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what do you think I'm cheering

476
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: for that?

477
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 4: Trump's the ties, the roots that go back by decades.

478
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: Not even close. I can hardly remember making those little

479
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: napkin boats at Chicago Stadium and dropping away out the

480
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 3: third deck.

481
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 4: You're a lack of boat. Now, your lack of regard

482
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 4: for history apparently has bled into the Los Angeles Chargers

483
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: social media team because they have no understanding of history.

484
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 4: What do you mean, Well, right after that victory, the housing,

485
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 4: the disgracing of the Pittsburgh Steelers before the football nation,

486
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 4: in the moments immediately after, they decided on purpose to

487
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: let the football gods and everybody else know that they

488
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 4: think they're above law. I'm not a superstitious man. But

489
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 4: I understand fact somebody or some people your colleagues over

490
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: there with the charger.

491
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280

Speaker 3: media team led by the great Megan Julian.

493
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: Well, listen, she or her team made a mistake that

494
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 4: the guys between the lines are going to pay for

495
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 4: them the rest of this season.

496
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,000

Speaker 4: Okay, right after they took to Twitter and they posted

499
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 4: a picture of the terrible towel and underneath it wrote, whoa,

500
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 4: this is worthless. What happened the next Sunday? What happened

501
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: was seven days later, Jacks, Oh no, you didn't lose

502
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,160

00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 4: Get ready for more, fran I hope the social media

504
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,239

Speaker 4: out TJ houshman Zada and the Jaguars and any and

506
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 4: the tent Titans. You mess with the terrible stack tree,

507
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 4: one hundred percent rate of failure of poking the bear,

508
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: or well not saying now that's ironic because it's the

Speaker 4: bears who the Steelers are playing. You know what I'm

510

Speaker 4: So we put the over under on. What's that waking

513
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,320

552
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 5: last night's ball game down at the Galen Center, that

553
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:08,320

557
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: Early season college basketball. Don McClain is all over it.

558
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: Now.

559
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: Let's start there then, Don because mc cronin said that

560
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: he doesn't believe in messaging, he doesn't believe in doghouses. Yeah,

561
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: the last game, no Donovan dent out there, Trent Perry

562
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: to start the game instead it was the twos and

563
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: he said, look, these guys just played better in practice.

564
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, well, they may have. I wasn't at practice,

565
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 5: but they may have played better at practice. But it's

566
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 5: more about and look, even though he says it's not

567
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 5: a message, it was a message to the players that

568
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 5: we need to get off to better starts. And defensively,

569
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 5: they just did won and they took Arizona to the wire,

570
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: but they just haven't had the same urgency, the same

571
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 5: tensity on the defensive end, especially the start game. So

572
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: I think that was why he did it. The interesting

573
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 5: thing will be who he starts tonight because that second

574
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 5: group I mean second Medo State's not very good, but

575
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 5: they got off to they shut him out for the

576
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 5: first I think four and a half minutes that starting

577
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 5: group on Tuesday, and then there's a little bit of

578
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 5: drop off in the second half. So it'll it'll be

579
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 5: interesting to see when we when we get to PAULI tonight,

580
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: who's starting.

581
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: Don. We've been over this already, so we don't need

582
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: to rehash it once again. But of course it's nice

583
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 4: to reconnect with donal Klin since.

584
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: This is going on.

585
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 4: He broke my heart when I thought he might come

586
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 4: to play on the on the banks of the Three Rivers.

587
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: He came. I watched him playing time You're here and

588
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: Don joins us.

589
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 4: His recruitment was still hanging in the balance when he

590
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: played in the Dapper Dan Tournament.

591
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: And what was it, nineteen eighty eight, eighty eight, that's right, that's.

592
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 3: Right now, that Calipari that was recruiting you.

593
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 5: Calipari was an assistant for Paul Evans at that time.

594
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: Paul Evans.

595
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 5: And Dave. I think I've told you this that that

596
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 5: tells you how good of a recruiter is no offense

597
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 5: to anybody from Pittsburgh, how good of a recruiter Calipari

598
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 5: is that he can get a white kid from southern

599
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 5: California to even visit Pittsburgh.

600
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: Ah, you would have been the missing piece. But anyway,

601
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 4: let's talk about the here and now. Calipari. I don't

602
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 4: know how many analytics he's applying here, but the word

603
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: on the street is as they take over more and more,

604
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: and it's I guess, sort of old, an old story

605
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 4: at this point that the Lakers are lagging a little

606
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: behind the rest of the league. How say you, are

607
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 4: you aware of this and how important do you think

608
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 4: it is for them to catch up?

609
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting because JJ redd it kind of strikes

610
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 5: me as an analytics guy, and so maybe that was

611
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 5: the case in the past.

612
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

613
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 5: I'm not in that locker room. I'm not in those meetings,

614
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: but you know, everybody's got their own opinion on analytics

615
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 5: and how much they should be used. I'm involved with

616
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 5: it in the pre draft process that I do in

617
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 5: the spring with the CAA, who I work for. They

618
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 5: have an analytics department when it comes to recruiting players,

619
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: and players they already have that are in the NBA,

620
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 5: and so I think everybody chooses how much they want

621
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 5: to use analytics in terms of evaluation, in terms of performance,

622
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 5: in terms of on the court, who plays, what, how

623
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 5: many minutes. I'm of the opinion that it's somewhere in

624
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 5: the middle. Like I don't think you should ignore all analytics,

625
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 5: but I don't. I think if you're only using analytics,

626
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 5: you're probably going to miss some stuff.

627
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: It's a salary cap league, don It's an intricate salary

628
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: cap league because of the penalties for first aprin, second apron,

629
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. Like what do you think,

630
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: what do you suspect Andrew Friedman in far hanziety you're

631
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: going to try to dig into try to figure out

632
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: what the Lakers are doing right or aren't doing right.

633
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good question, And you know, I think

634
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 5: that's kind of my point. And it'll be interesting to

635
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 5: see what happens with two baseball guys coming into basketball

636
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 5: in how they can apply what they've used to a

637
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 5: great deal of success with the Dodgers into professional basketball.

638
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I think, and I may be speaking way

639
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 5: out of turn here, but I feel like analytics is

640
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 5: way more applied to baseball than basketball, or should be

641
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 5: at least from where I sit in what little I

642
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 5: know about it. But it doesn't hurt to have guys

643
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: that who have had success in another sport come and

644
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 5: take a look at what you're doing in your sport.

645
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 5: You know, they've done so well with the Dodgers.

646
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: It just feels a little bit like a computer is

647
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: making the difference. And I think that's unsatisfying on a

648
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: visceral level for diehard sports fans. But what do the analytics,

649
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: or more importantly, what does Don McClain say about LaMelo

650
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 4: ball perhaps being.

651
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: A fit for the Clippers?

652
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 4: They obviously goes without saying have not gotten off to

653
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 4: a great start. Is you know LaMelo is now dissatisfied

654
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: in his situation. Any possibility of that happening, I mean.

655
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 5: There's always a possibility. And here's the thing, Dave, that

656
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: that analytics doesn't measure, and this is where I have

657
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 5: a problem with people that only rely on analytics. Doesn't

658
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 5: measure heart, doesn't measure toughness, doesn't measure how you are

659
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 5: in the locker room, doesn't measure how good of a

660
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 5: teammate you are, doesn't measure how coachable you are. And

661
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: so when you rely on oh, well, LaMelo does this,

662
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 5: this and this and this is what the numbers say,

663
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: and you bring it. And I'm not saying he's going

664
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 5: to I'm just saying it's the possibility. You bring him

665
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 5: into your locker room and he and he and he

666
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: puts it up in flames because of his personality. And

667
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 5: this is for any player. And that's why when you

668
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 5: solely rely on analytics, you're walking a slippery slope because

669
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: there's so much more that goes into it than just

670
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 5: what the numbers say on the court.

671
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 4: But do they need to do something that might feel

672
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 4: a little rash to try and salvage this season?

673
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: Uh?

674
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: And I said this last week. You weren't there obviously, Dave.

675
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: But it just it's it's the same old thing for

676
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 5: the Clippers. There's always something, always something, and he usually

677
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 5: revolves around Kawhi Leonard and he's not playing and they'll

678
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 5: say we're waiting for him to get back, just like

679
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 5: they said for the last six or seven years, and

680
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 5: it just goes round and round. So yeah, bringing LaMelo

681
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 5: ball and yeah, maybe that'll help, but it ain't gonna

682
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 5: change what's been happening for the last you know, five

683
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 5: to seven years. When Kawhi and PG came. It was,

684
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 5: it's it's it's. It had been one thing after another,

685
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 5: and it's still one thing after another.

686
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: And if it keeps getting worse. The fact that there's

687
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: an unprotected lottery pick headed to Oklahoma City in.

688
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 5: This draft, holy holy.

689
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: Right if Boozer's on that team or Demands or one

690
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: of those guys, my god.

691
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah yeah, And you know, again, that's just

692
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 5: another fallout from the failed PG Kawhi thing that like

693
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 5: they celebrated when those two game like they were gonna

694
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 5: win multiple championships and they've been to the Western Conference

695
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 5: Finals once and pg's gone yea and so or all theirs.

696
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: That when I saw that today unprotected and they're four

697
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: and ten with the fourth worst or tied for the

698
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: fourth worst number of wins in the league, that's that's

699
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: absolutely terrifying considering.

700
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 5: And by the way, Matt, this is a really good

701
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 5: draft this year, yeah, really good.

702
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: To the to the Lakers done and Lebron's return twelve assists,

703
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: one turnover, said that it was laughable that anybody questioned

704
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 3: whether or not he'd figure out how to fit in

705
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: that he can fit in anywhere. Don't know, if you

706
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: had a chance to watch the game against Utah or

707
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: if you saw the highlights or whatever. But look, he

708
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: looked great. He was moving the ball, you know, from

709
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: the corner, from the mid post, and it looked fantastic

710
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: when he and Luca were out there. But then I

711
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: looked at the plus minus and it was kind of weird.

712
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: It was minus eleven when he and Luca were on

713
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: the court and plus seventeen when it was Lebron no Luca,

714
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 3: plus seventeen Luca no Lebron. I know it's one game,

715
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: but do you think there is something to that because

716
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: they're both so good with the ball in their hands.

717
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 7: Uh, maybe I think that's something to keep an eye on.

718
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 7: But I do think, and I think I said this

719
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 7: to you a p a few weeks ago, that I

720
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 7: hope that this was the approach that Lebron would take

721
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 7: that not just come in there and you know, not

722
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 7: kick Luca to the side, but try and outduel him

723
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 7: or score as many as him. He kind of took

724
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 7: a back seat and became a facilitator in a ball mover.

725
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 7: And you know, I think if it's going to work,

726
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 7: really work a long term with the Lakers, I think

727
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 7: that's how it's going to have to be. It's Luca's world,

728
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 7: Lebron's playing in it, and he's helping not only Luca

729
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 7: but the rest of the team with his IQ. And

730
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 7: that doesn't get talked about enough how smart Lebron James is.

731
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 7: Whether you like him or not, you can't deny that

732
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 7: he is one of the smartest basketball players that's ever played.

733
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought it up in that way because intellectually,

734
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 4: I'm sure Lebron James, and if he can remove the

735
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: ego of who he is and has been in the league,

736
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: understands that Luca should be the main man on the team.

737
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 4: But obviously heavyweight boxers have a hard time calling it

738
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: quits when obviously done for them. Quarterbacks who are one

739
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 4: time superstars have a hard time repressing the desire to

740
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: be the difference in an offense, to be more of

741
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 4: a passenger like Peyton Manning when they won the Super

742
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 4: Bowl a decade or so ago. How hard do you

743
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 4: imagine that is for Lebron right now to accept.

744
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 5: Well, I think Lebron is well aware obviously of his legacy,

745
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 5: and I think what his motivation would be if it

746
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 5: stays the way it is is to win another championship,

747
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 5: and that supersedes everything. When you're done playing, people remember

748
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 5: your career for what you did, not really so much individually,

749
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 5: but how many championships you won. And that's across the board.

750
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 5: And I think that is Lebron's motivation is if somehow

751
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 5: this Laker team could position themselves to make a run

752
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 5: in the playoffs and potentially win a championship, he could

753
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 5: walk away having done that in his last year. And

754
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 5: I think that probably in his mind, I'm sure outweighs

755
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 5: anything number, you know, totals anything like that.

756
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: Any concern about defensively, it's fifteen games or sixteen games

757
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: and now, yeah, sixteen games, and I think and they

758
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: have some of the worst paint metrics, some of the

759
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: worst defensive metrics out there, and any concern about that done.

760
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think we're far enough in that,

761
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 5: you know, are they going to get better? Do they

762
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 5: do they make some moves before the deadline or at

763
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 5: the deadline to get better defensively, because that's a thing

764
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 5: like everyone talks about the thunder and SGA and home

765
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 5: grin and their offense and all that, but they're really

766
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 5: good defensively, and so if the Lakers are going to

767
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 5: challenge them and make a run in the playoffs, they're

768
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 5: going to have to get better defensively.

769
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: Was it you're doing? Probably, we'll let you go on

770
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: this down you're doing Presbyterian? You got to hit the

771
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: road and get down to Paully. Was it Presbyterian that

772
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 3: knocked off Ucla in one of these early contests a

773
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: few years back? This is this a Presbyterian team? That said,

774
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: do I remember that correctly? I was trying to remember

775
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: the early season game that.

776
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 5: Got there's it's been a few along the way. It's

777
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 5: not Presbyterian. UCLA actually beat him by fifteen I think,

778
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 5: I don't know, fifteen years ago or something like that.

779
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: I remember a game what you're talking about.

780
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of who it is?

781
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 2: Too early?

782
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 7: You know who it was?

783
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 3: Who was it?

784
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 5: You know it was? It was Belmont, Belmont.

785
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: There you go, it was Belmont.

786
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: They show up in the tourney once in a blue moon.

787
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 4: It feels like, you know, there was a game played.

788
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: I believe early season. Paully Pavilion was the scene. Nineteen

789
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 4: ninety one, the UCLA Bruins destroyed the highly rated Indiana Hoosiers.

790
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 4: Then in the final eight, you're going to do that.

791
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: They were in the same region.

792
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 3: You're really going to do this.

793
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 4: The same Indiana Hoosiers showed up to the same UCLA

794
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 4: Bruins and damage. Yet got his revenge. He's against McClain

795
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 4: for not going to Pitt. He was on the I

796
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 4: saw what I have two basketball teams I rooted for

797
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 4: in college.

798
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 5: Well the year before that, Pitt came into Paulie and

799
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 5: we beat him by one hundred and fifty.

800
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 4: I'm nice to say about Brian Shorter and Sean Miller

801
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 4: in the game.

802
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. Don have a great call tonight, Big

803
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 3: ten Network, UCLA Presbyterian. Check it out. He'll be on

804
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 3: the call a seven thirty tip. Thanks Tom.

805
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 5: All right, guys, have a good weeknd too.

806
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: There he goes. He puts up with so much of

807
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: your craft, and he does not put up with anybody's craft.

808
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: It's hilarious to me every time because you're typically in

809
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: on Fridays, Patrus is doing football games, so more often

810
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: than that that's the day that he's gone. When I

811
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: love it, and it's look, damn a check on Fridays

812
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: is a treat for all the folks stuck in this

813
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: guyshit here.

814
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 4: For him, I was, I was, I was optimistic. I

815
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 4: was impressionable. He could be the missing piece, this long

816
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 4: stretch of a center. He could shoot. Who had seen

817
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: anything like that in nineteen eighty eight?

818
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: Do you remember his recruitment in nineteen eighty eight? I

819
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 3: absolutely really like you heard that.

820
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 4: You think I'm making that up. I went to see

821
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 4: him literally in the civic arena in the Dapper Dan

822
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: High School All Star Tournament. He was one of the

823
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: three biggest stars in it.

824
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 3: Your old man was the team doctor. That's right, Yeah,

825
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: for basketball as well, right.

826
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 4: For basketball and foot penguins.

827
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: Look at that what could have been? I'm sure he

828
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: has said he was just the all time leading scorer

829
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: in Don almost went to the final four, got close. Yeah,

830
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's uh interesting, not ironic, but an interesting

831
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: coincidence that Don all time leading scorer packed ten Pac

832
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 3: twelve and then when UCLA became a member of the

833
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: Big Ten. You know who's got him by like four points?

834
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: Who cal Cheney? Wow?

835
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 4: Bringing that bringing it on?

836
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: Hum.

837
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 3: There is that little head to head there between the

838
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 3: two of them.

839
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 4: By the way, Lebron in his prime could rebound his

840
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 4: position and he would offset what he lacked around him

841
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 4: on those Calves teams at least. Right, Yeah, is he

842
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 4: now no longer that guy?

843
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: He's old. He's just too old. You've all played the

844
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 3: I mean he still grass boards. He just won't play

845
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 3: a defense. He don't play a lick of defense. All right,

846
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 3: We got to finish that conversation we started in the

847
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: opening segment about what makes Dave a bad dad. That's next.

00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,880

868
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 3: four pm on Fox eleven plus All. Right before Don

869
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 3: McClain joined us, you were sharing with me how a

870
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 3: tweet from the Chargers' social media team was going to

871
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 3: derail their season and was the cause for the Chargers

872
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert to have his worst game as a professional

873
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 3: and the Chargers to fall apart against the Jags. This

874
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 3: was all due to a tweet about a towel.

875
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 4: That's right, not any towel, the terrible towel. Look again,

876
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 4: I don't believe in voodoot. I'm more than happy to

877
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 4: open umbrella inside and otherwise, but also under a ladder.

878
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 4: There's a one hundred percent rate of failure when you

879
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 4: mess with it. It started, if I'm not mistaken with TJ.

880
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 4: Houschmann Zada of the Bengals, he tells a funny story

881
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: about this. Got into the hotel elevator in Pittsburgh and

882
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 4: on his way down he saw Steelers fan carrying one

883
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 4: of those and he said, I'll give you two hundred

884
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 4: dollars for that, to which I've asked him, why the

885
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 4: hell would you pay two hundred dollars because it is

886
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 4: just a towel. After you think he negotiated with the fan,

887
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 4: you know you can't have it, And it was like, yeah,

888
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 4: that's right. You know your people up in Chicago they

889
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 4: throw everything. Well, no, if it goes into the standard,

890
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: they don't want it. I don't care how valuable that

891
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 4: thing is. Take it back. It's dirty. Why, you're right,

892
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 4: the real criminal was the one. I don't care how

893
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: much hushman Zada offered you for it. You shouldn't be

894
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 4: giving it over to him.

895
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 3: But then again, Bucks, I can go buy one at

896
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: the on my way to the stadium and have a

897
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: hundred and.

898
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 4: Now you've turned it over. But just exactly like the

899
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 4: Charger social media team, hushman Zada took it and shined

900
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 4: his shoes with it at the end of the game.

901
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 4: And that's the year Carson Palmer his knee blew out

902
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 4: and the Bengals never did anything. The Titans messed with it,

903
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 4: the Jags it recently. I'm just telling you, let's see

904
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 4: how the rest of the season goes here.

905
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 3: I think it was just an opportunity to use the

906
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: Gravity Falls meme, you know, I mean, that's what the

907
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: kids like, one of my favorite shows.

908
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe they'll find the Iron.

909
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 3: Copes official the Terrible Towel of Pittsburgh original. It's got

910
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: Akroscher Stadium, the Steelers logo, and then it's got Dipper

911
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: I think that's his name on the bottom saying this

912
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: is worthless.

913
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 4: We'll see if gravity is joined with the Chargers in

914
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 4: their fall. I'll tell you why the end of the season.

915
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 3: How about this? Go ahead about this Aaron Rodgers, after

916
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: getting his head caved in that entire game doesn't go

917
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 3: on that worthless garbage time touchdown drive. Maybe they don't

918
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 3: do the Terrible Towel meme. Maybe they're like, hey, classy, classy.

919
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 4: Wait, they were sticking it to the forty something year

920
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 4: old mercenary with that with a terrible towel, as though

921
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: he has any allegiance.

922
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, Okaine. Yeah, let's go get this garbage time touchdown.

923
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: We're down twenty five to three, there's three minutes left

924
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 3: in the game. They don't want anyone to get hurt.

925
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 3: You know, let's just drive the field and suggest that

926
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 3: maybe this game wasn't as lopsided as zero for nine

927
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 3: on third down couple interceptions.

928
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 4: Well, it's embarrassing. I'm not going to argue with you

929
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: about the state of the Steelers. They feel semi fraudulent,

930
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 4: and I love to talk about Week twelve NFL, these

931
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 4: critical games upcoming, But first before we dig in on

932
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 4: any of those, if at all, I do want to

933
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 4: say very quickly, if I can take it over, Man,

934
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 4: I texted you this. I love doing this show because

935
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 4: it's the one sports show I listened to in Los

936
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 4: Angeles driving around local and Man, you torched Kawhi Leonard

937
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 4: on a level that I haven't heard very many people articulate.

938
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 4: And if he happened to catch it, he would probably

939
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 4: feel a little embarrassed. I'm sure he has a big ego,

940
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 4: But man, you and Petros do a as good a

941
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 4: job as anybody. When you set your gaze on whether

942
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 4: it's Trojan's football or Kawhi Leonard or otherwise you guys

943
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 4: are you guys are institution not just for being funny,

944
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 4: but you're as informed and insightful.

945
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 3: As I My response, because it was right after the

946
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: Steeler game, Yeah, a couple of days fire and you

947
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 3: were like, man, was that a takedown? That was great?

948
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: And I wrote back, yeah, sorry about your guys. That

949
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 3: was it was you sass me.

950
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 4: It wasn't. It wasn't at all.

951
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: I think I sassed you. I don't.

952
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 4: I don't think you extended no sympathy for my hard

953
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 4: day guy. Listen, I gotta tell you, I'm a little

954
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: disgusted by what they're doing, but I also have to

955
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 4: give a shout out. Even though he can't hear us

956
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: right now, he's over in Vegas. Maybe with our mutual

957
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 4: pole Dan Helly. It seems like they're yet quite a

958
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 4: bit a handsome duo, that's for sure. But Petros took

959
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 4: time out of his busy schedule at the request. I

960
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 4: was the I was the middleman for this. Brad Venami,

961
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 4: the coach of Crespy. The the remarkable story. Sure, three

962
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 4: years ago, winless, this season, undefeated regular season. It was remarkable.

963
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 4: James Moffatt and uh and Chase Kerran and the rest

964
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 4: of the fellas John Claude, Van Damna Schet Contribute Swiss Army.

965
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 4: He plays it all man, he plays wherever he's need.

966
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 4: It's taught him in there. He's ready to roll. He

967
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 4: loves tight end. He really wanted to be a quarterback.

968
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 4: Who doesn't want to be a quarterback. But like I say, this,

969
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 4: Chase Kerran, who's a fifteen year old kid can sling it.

970
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 4: He often reminds me of remember in Mad Max Beyond

971
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: Thunderdome when Gibson goes into when Max goes into the

972
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 4: actual Thunderdome and he's fighting the guy with the big

973
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 4: metal helmet, and then he knocks at master Blaster Master

974
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 4: Blaster and he knocks it off, and it turns out

975
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 4: there's a wee old man sitting on top. But but

976
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: the muscle is just a boy. That's how I feel,

977
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 4: right every time, every time the helmet comes off of

978
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 4: this fifteen year old who you watch sling in the ball.

979
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 4: I mean, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, really has a whip that

980
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 4: is you are going to see in Division one. He

981
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: takes his helmet off and I say the same thing.

982
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 4: He's just a boy. Look at his face. It's jarring

983
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: to me. But Petros took time out of his schedule.

984
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 4: Coach Fanami said, man, we be great if Petros would

985
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 4: shout us out. And I said, funny because I was

986
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: just filling in for Petros and I shouted you you out,

987
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 4: and he said, Petros, Petros is great. No, he didn't

988
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 4: even he didn't. He skipped right past it. He just

989
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 4: said Petros is real, funny guy. Man, he's he really

990
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 4: did it. So I said, fine, I'll ask and Petros

991
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 4: took time and and dropped the line to wish the

992
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 4: Celts well beautiful, which was very kind of him to do.

993
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 4: Because he is the voice of I think he is

994
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 4: as prominent a voice for LA and SoCal high school football.

995
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not even close. Like I mean, if Eric

996
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 3: Sondheimer is the savant, the high school savant, the you know,

997
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 3: the old guard that's been doing it forever, he's arguably

998
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: the best high school sports reporter. I'm sure Texas has

999
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 3: got their old dog in Florida, you know, perhaps has there.

1000
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 3: Sondheimer's incredible. The fact that he's done it as long

1001
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 3: as he has is at an institution like the La Times.

1002
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 3: But yes, as far as voices go nobody. Petros loves

1003
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 3: high school football and it pulled me into the world

1004
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 3: of high school football because my kids were going to

1005
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: my day and they were a powerhouse. And then befriended

1006
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 3: Jason Negro at Bosco, so then I get invested there.

1007
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 3: And then we've got friends and you know that we're

1008
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 3: playing at losal that live in the neighborhoods. So now

1009
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 3: I get invested in the Griffins. And tonight is going

1010
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 3: to be a special night. It is going to be

1011
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 3: an incredible night in Division One. After the upset thanks

1012
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 3: to the monsoon last week of Olu over Bosco, the

1013
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 3: fact that we got Carson Palmer coaching Santa Margarita Volu,

1014
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 3: and of all teams, you know, the Titan, the modern

1015
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 3: day Monarchs unbeatable, and yet they've got to face their

1016
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 3: kryptonite and Centennial who'll already beat them earlier this year.

1017
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 4: It's great, man. We're two old curmudgeons who've been around

1018
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 4: for a minute now. And my experience at least has

1019
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 4: taught me pro football players, even college football players, they

1020
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 4: revere their college days. Pro football can be a job

1021
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 4: some of the time for them, but there is nothing

1022
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 4: like the memories that they have in high school football.

1023
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 4: They will swim and talk to you as long as

1024
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 4: you want about their high school team. I have to

1025
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 4: talk about Ronnie Fossio, looking him giving us keep it

1026
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 4: like a secret built the spill Fossio.

1027
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 3: And by the way, we're not just the d one

1028
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 3: place low CEU playing tonight too Big one Murray out

1029
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: of Valley for the for the Griffs. So several times, yeah.

1030
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 4: I'm jealous. I wish I were going to another high

1031
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 4: school playoff game the night. Well that's what happens when

1032
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 4: you go undefeated and you get thrown into it. You

1033
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 4: know what divisions you guys get thrown into?

1034
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 2: Way up?

1035
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's wild. How its I have like the best

1036
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: season that you've had forever, and then you're like, oh no,

1037
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 3: we're just should.

1038
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 4: We have lost more?

1039
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1040
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: Exactly, Yeah, well I mean look at I mean, oh

1041
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 3: lose different. It's Trinity League, so you know they're whatever.

1042
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 3: Two and nine record isn't representative of how good of

1043
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 3: a team they are. But still, yeah, it's I think

1044
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 3: I was talking to DJ and he pointed out, you know,

1045
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 3: his son's high school team went three and like nine

1046
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 3: and got putt in the division below them and won

1047
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 3: it all. And then the next year they ended up,

1048
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 3: you know, going whatever put in the division up and

1049
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 3: got housed in the first round. It's just wild the

1050
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 3: way they were.

1051
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 4: Cresby, Cresby undefeated, lost to a five and five team

1052
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 4: in the first round. It was a close game, but

1053
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 4: it was a victory to me that they got over

1054
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 4: those bullies from Silesia. Boy, they brutes, but they took

1055
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: air of business in that one. Everything was gravy after

1056
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 4: that victory.

1057
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,560
