1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Middle of the Day show on a Tuesday.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be hanging out with you today until two o'clock,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: and we've got a lot of things to discuss. We

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: are forty eight hours plus a couple of hours away

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: from the NBA trade deadline, and more stars are throwing

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: their name out there.

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: James Harden trades. Supposedly, there's some finagling going on with

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: Harden to get him out of the Clippers.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: The Beard wants out of LA. That's a tough one. Man.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: I went out of LA, but I'm gonna end up

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: in Cleveland.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: There's a conspiracy theory theory around this, fellas. Sorry, I

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: cant are you alluding to the Jannis Harden and the

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 3: other player, oh Lebron. I am alluding to the fact

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 3: that there's some speculation that Kawhi Leonard, why he is

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: not on the All Star team, and then why James

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Harden is asking out of LA, is that there could

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 3: be a possible suspension coming from the whole planing Trees thing.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: Oh interesting, I saw that.

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I think there's very

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: little chance that the NBA disciplines the Clippers on this

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: because the you know, whoever is disciplining the owners in

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the NBA usually gets their handslapped. Like Steve Balmer is

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: probably the richest owner in the NBA.

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: If he's not, he's in the top three.

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: The only way they're going to discipline him is that

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: if every other rich owner decides that I haven't done

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: this in some way, or this is really really bad

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: so much that's bad so that we want to we

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: want to come after this guy.

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: I would say that's a problem for the league, but

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: it hasn't been a problem for the league. Unless the

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: fans revolt against it, it's not going to be a

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: problem for the league.

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: But I think all of the.

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Major sports organizations struggle with the same thing and suffer

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: from the same thing. Of the owners are so wealthy

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: because the bar of entry is so high that there's

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: nobody to hold them accountable. Yeah, and they're basically working

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: for themselves, and that's not good for the sport. But again,

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: unless the fans revolt against it and say you've got

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: to hold these guys accountable, they're never going to do

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: anything about it.

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: I think that's one hundred percent right. I'm going with

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: Okham's razor on this, I'm gonna say that Kawhi Leonard

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: didn't get voted in by the coaches around the league

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: is a lifetime achievement award for just not going out

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: there and being odd and doing the things that he's done. Uh.

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: And then the second thing on James Harden is I

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: think the most obvious answer is that he is always

51
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: grown tired of any situation that he's ever been in

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: and wanted out.

53
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: And he probably knew that he wasn't gonna win a

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 3: ring there, and so yeah, he wants to go to

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: a place where he feels like he can. Cleveland, it

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: seems like, is where he's gonna go.

57
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: He'll be interesting in Cleveland. How they how they fit,

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and probably Cleveland, I think is the right

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: answer because of them getting rid of DeAndre Hunter and

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: getting some of those resources they did from the scher

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: the Kings.

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: Again, which I like.

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean that somebody said had a meme that was

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: Taste the Rainbow and it had had Shrewder in every

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: NBA uniform that he's worn in his career.

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable.

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Let tall eleven, Yeah, a third of the NBA he's

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: played for in his career. That's crazy. Hey, the the

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: talk about Thunder, the chatter about Hartenstein. We talked about

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: this a little bit yesterday on the other show, Mark.

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: I don't I don't understand the thinking of people saying

72
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: we need to get rid of Hartenstein. The Thunder don't

73
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: win that championship last year without him. Now would I

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: have a problem if the Thunder were to use like

75
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: Uzman Jang to try and get some insurance behind him

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: and Jay Will.

77
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Like if the Thunder could get Kevon Looney, I got

79
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: no problem with that at all. The guy's on a

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: cheap deal. It'd be a short term rental. You're hoping

81
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: that you get him and don't need him, But it

82
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: would let you dole out both Jay Will and Hartenstein

83
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: because Jay Will has been battling. I mean, he's on

84
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: the injury report again today with his back. So it

85
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: would it would give you somebody that you could hopefully

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: get some reliance on in the in between time and

87
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't necessarily and wouldn't expect to need them when the

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: playoffs roll around.

89
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: I'm the only only small advocacy for trading iHeart and

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: then I can't even justify. It would be that if

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna let him walk, then you get a little

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: bit of something for him in return, because you have

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the right to terminate his contract going into next season.

94
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: The other the big news to me involving any of

95
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: this stuff was the announcement today that Lou Dort is

96
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: changing his agent to Clutch Sports. I think that that

97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: probably means that there have been some negotiations going on

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: with the Lou Dort contract extension for Oklahoma City and

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: the Thunder. The only way the Thunder can make that

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: work is to give him a below the market deal

101
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: where I think Lou is going to get I mean

102
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: paid in the off season as a free agent. He

103
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: gotta get serious contract because a lot of teams are

104
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: gonna look at him and go, this is the guy

105
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: that really runs runs, you know what I'm saying.

106
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: So sure, yeah, and I do think that his value

107
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: in the market is going to be way stronger than

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: what Oklahoma City can play him pay him. The only

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: way that we're able to maintain him is if, out

110
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: of loyalty to the team, he works a deal that

111
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: is that is beneficial to the team. But back to

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: the Hartenstein thing, I don't even I mean, the other

113
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: teams are operating also under the assumption that they don't

114
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: have to overpay for Hartenstein, So I don't know what

115
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: the Thunder would get in return for him. And I

116
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: do think his value to the team is still significant

117
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: this year. I mean, if it were a situation where

118
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: and I just blanked on his name, Sorber the the

119
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: kid that we drafted this year was playing under him

120
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: and behind him and Jay Will and able to get

121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: some meaningful time and develop, and you think, Okay, we

122
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: got enough that we feel confident in moving forward, then

123
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: maybe you would think about it. But I don't know

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: what the salary cap ramifications would be of picking up

125
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: the option on iHeart for another year. But even if

126
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: you pick him up for another year with the expectation

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: that you're going to move him at the trade deadline

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: next year, I just think that his value to this team,

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: I think, and I'm not saying everybody, but I think

130
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people that way underappreciate what

131
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: he contributes to this team. And I think you look

132
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: at that sixteen game stretch that he's been off of

133
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: the available roster, and it shows you the part that

134
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: he plays on this team. So I don't like the

135
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: discussions of trying to make a move with him.

136
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that. To me, Like, just because Brian

137
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: Windhors said something, I don't think anybody's out there talking

138
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: about it. And I even hate throwing out a scenario

139
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: in which you might say, Okay, well this could be

140
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: a reason why because it's not happening. I mean, I

141
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: told you yesterday it's blutar.

142
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: But wind Horse Star talking about it, has fans talking

143
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: about it, and I'm talking about the number of fans

144
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: that I see saying that that makes sense because it

145
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: makes no sense to me.

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you wouldn't be Sam Presty if you're

147
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: not gauging potentially what's out there. I mean, if some

148
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: team wants to give Oklahoma City a really really good

149
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: big on a second, like, I don't know, I just

150
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: have to go around and look the rookies in this league.

151
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Somebody on a really low contract that's extended into three

152
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: or four years on a great deal that can come

153
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: in and do the same things, then I think you'd

154
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: have to maybe potentially examine that because Oklahoma City has

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: the ability to trade with anyone in the NBA. They

156
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: got more to offer than any other team in the league.

157
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: So they've got good contracts, they've got draft picks, they've

158
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: got all of it. So I think that he has

159
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: to do his due diligence a little bit.

160
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: I e.

161
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that I mean, I'm

162
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: just let me just tell you this. I know, can't

163
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: ask me how I know. But I don't think Wendy

164
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: was doing anything other than tickling people on that. I mean,

165
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any there's any truth to it.

166
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Well, but there's a difference between doing the due diligence

167
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: like you're talking about with Presty and what people want

168
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: to get caught up in is the sexy idea of,

169
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: oh well, what if James Harten not and this is

170
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: not a logical move, but what if James Harden came back?

171
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: What if you got Giannis?

172
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: You know, those are the ones that people get all

173
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: excited about talking about, and we've seen that that's not

174
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: the way the Oklahoma City Organization operates. They operate the

175
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: way that you're talking about, which is, could you get

176
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: a guy that is not playing meaningful minutes for another

177
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: team that's cheap maybe on an expiring deal that you

178
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: could work with it. That's a completely different ball of

179
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: wax than just saying the option is the team option

180
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: and we overpaid for iHeart because we knew he needed

181
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: him last year, and they need to go out and

182
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: make a deal because the trade deadline is looming. That's

183
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: the way I see a lot of people talking about

184
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 2: it online, and I just think that's misinformed.

185
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: Now here's another thing, is Oklahoma City's not desperate obviously.

186
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: Now Cleveland, for instance, Let's finish up on Cleveland because

187
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: Timpon Tempts today reported that Donovan Mitchell is unlikely to

188
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: sign an extension in Cleveland if they have another early

189
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: playoff exit this year. And so now Cleveland is now

190
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: exploring trade, exploring trades involving Jared Allen to try to

191
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: bring in Giannis on too Takumpo as well as James Harden.

192
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: M okay, So who's going to be around? How what's what?

193
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 4: Don't look like?

194
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Just but is there any death on that team? They

195
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: missed some of the guys that they had to let

196
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: go off of the bench last year. I mean, like

197
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: I know, I mean Garland would be gone in that

198
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: watch some of the Yeah, probably so. I watched some

199
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: of the Griz and the uh the Tea Wolves last night.

200
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, ty Jerome played his second game this year,

201
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: but he was bawling out. I mean he is given

202
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: the Wolves fits last night. I don't know. I mean

203
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: that would be that would be really fun to see.

204
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: To me, I just don't think that's gonna work.

205
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: And then here's one more thing that could shake up

206
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: the East is the Raptors are reportedly offering Art Barrett

207
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: yaka pertle O j o ja Jabi however you say

208
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: his name and draft capital to the Kings for Demantas Sabonis. Now,

209
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: pairing Demanta Sabonis with Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, that

210
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: could be a very formidable team in the Eastern Conference.

211
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, all this stuffs could be interesting.

212
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: I mean the Draymond came out and said that he

213
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: and his camp know that there's a very real chance

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: that he's about to get sent to Milwaukee. That Jannis

215
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 3: could possibly be going to the Warriors.

216
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: That's interesting.

217
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors are up there, are up there

218
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: in terms of the team that wants him the most.

219
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: That makes some sense.

220
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: Moving Draymond to bring him in is an interesting element

221
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: to that, though.

222
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what. I don't think they

223
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: got near enough to me to put together like Jonathan

224
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: kaminga draft picks and all that stuff. I do think

225
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: that there is middle ground here. There's something that has

226
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: to be worked out between Giannis and the team, because

227
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: I think that the team is going to try to

228
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: make the best fit, like, Okay, we'll work with you.

229
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: We're not going to just ship you out and get

230
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: what's the best in return for us, Like we're not

231
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: going to just ship you to Atlanta. You know, here

232
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: are the options if you want to go to a

233
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: New York B, Miami, c you know, the Warriors. I

234
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: think he'll have some input in that, and I think

235
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: that the Warriors. I think that's why it's to me,

236
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: it's either going to be Miami or Golden State, because

237
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: I think those would be two places that he would

238
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: want to play, because I believe that not discounting the

239
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Yannis Prima Donna factor in all.

240
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Of this, Whenhorst is saying if Cleveland cannot land Yannis,

241
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: they're going to go after Anthony Davis, well.

242
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: He obviously wants to go to New York as well.

243
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: Are you suggesting with the way that you just laid

244
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: that outmark that New York, there's no way New York

245
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: could put a package together that makes it work worth

246
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: Milwaukee's time.

247
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't. I think that

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: they've they've tried for so long to make this deal

249
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: work that is just never it didn't work. Yeah, and

250
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: you know saying they off season and last year at

251
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the trade deadline and all that it just didn't work.

252
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 3: Is Anthony Davis better than Jared Allen? Jared Allen want

253
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: to you have forty the other night?

254
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it's pretty weird the way that

255
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: they you know, one of the reasons why the Calves

256
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: I think turned it completely around was their use of

257
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: the of the three big lineup that they had, and

258
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: they don't really even use it anymore. Like Mobiley and

259
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Allen are on the floor a lot at the same time.

260
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know what they're doing. But no, Samy,

261
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: you like you watch that team, I mean, they don't

262
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: really do a lot for Jared Allen, right for him,

263
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: he blocked shots. They don't dump the ball down to

264
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: him in the post. I mean, if he's scoring forty,

265
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: it's on rebounding and he just what's his I wonder

266
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: what his shot attempt per game is. It's just looking.

267
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: At this, I'm curious because I do know he went

268
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: off the other night.

269
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: But you're right.

270
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy is talented and one of the

271
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: better bigs in the league. And I feel like we

272
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: never really talk about him because I'm not calling Donovan

273
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: Mitchell a ballhogger, but he can be a.

274
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Time I can call him that.

275
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's very, very ball heavy.

276
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: Okay, let's see nice, Jarrett Allen. He gets nine shots

277
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: a game. It's not enough shooting sixty over sixty three

278
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: and a half percent. The game is we play, He's

279
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 3: playing a bunch. He plays twenty seven.

280
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: See, I think he should play more than that. That's

281
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: why I don't unless there's a reason.

282
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like they're they're splitting his and Mobley's minutes.

283
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: This is the least amount of minuts he's played since

284
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 3: his second year in the league.

285
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Cleveland, but I mean, yeah,

286
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: you do. You have to worry about Anthony Davis in

287
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: injury prone. I'm like, This is one of these things

288
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: in sports where this is a great Like if you're

289
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: a drafted a fantasy basketball team, this is the approach

290
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: you should have. Its works perfect that if you're playing

291
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: for real, you just bring in all these guys that

292
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: are older and have injury issues and have ego issues

293
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: and all those type of things that just I don't

294
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: think it ever works well.

295
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: The history shows that it doesn't work, And I would

296
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: not want to put all my eggs in an Anthony

297
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: Davis basket. I mean, at this point, how much different

298
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: is he than Portzengi's.

299
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: None.

300
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: Mean, he's great when he's on the floor.

301
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that he's not a better player than Portzinga's.

302
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying his reliability that that has been the issue

303
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: with Portzeingis for a long time, and Anthony Davis is

304
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: every bit of that now. So why would you want

305
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: to bank your future on a guy that's his age,

306
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: with his fragility.

307
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: It makes no sense to me.

308
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: One more Yiannis thing that we haven't talked about that

309
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: came out last night from Jake L. Fisher said that

310
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: the Portland Trailblazers and Damian Lillard reaching out to Giannis

311
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: to reunite in Portland.

312
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: Boy, we are going to be We're going to spend

313
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: the next forty nine plus hours or whatever discussing all

314
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: of this a nauseum. Holy cow. Well, there's so many

315
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: I have to discuss it about About Oklahoma City, I've

316
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: I've seen a whole lot of that now. I know

317
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: if you just took a poll of the fan base

318
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: without knowing all the inturacy that had to go into

319
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: getting Yiannis to Oklahoma City, that probably about sixty eight

320
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: percent of the people would say, yeah, we want him here.

321
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: You know. I don't know if you're right about that.

322
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: I think it's closer to fifty to fifty because we

323
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: won a championship last year.

324
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be fifty.

325
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: And I think that the fifty percent that are no

326
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: questions asked they would take Giannis are not seeing the

327
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: big picture of the accomplishments that Oklahoma City has done.

328
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: There's one more thing that OKC could do, and I'm

329
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: not saying that they should, but the MAVs have reportedly

330
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: put trade Klay Thompson on the trading block. He's not

331
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: the defender he used to be, but he can still

332
00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: shoot it a little.

333
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: Bit, there's a lot of guys that can shoot it.

334
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: I think that there are guys out there that you

335
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: could get to shoot it. That to me, that's I mean,

336
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: the shots have not been falling, but when they do,

337
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: like in the Denver game, that's not okay Ce's problem.

338
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: And you look at the statistics from last.

339
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: Year and three point shooting was not an issue for

340
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: the Thunder last year, and they didn't shoot a great

341
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: percentage last year either. The Thunder just aren't built to

342
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: be one of the top three point shooting teams in

343
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: the league. And I think to try and change that

344
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: up when you've built yourself, you've built your organization in

345
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: a certain way, is almost flirting with disaster.

346
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really. I mean, it seems like that

347
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: if Oklahom City would acquire somebody that could shoot it, it

348
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: should help them. I mean, but when they have acquired

349
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: guys that can shoot, really has it helped them?

350
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: How many times have we brought guys in that this

351
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: is going to be the three point specialist and guys

352
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: that have shot the three well come to okay See

353
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: and they just don't shoot it that well.

354
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: It's the curse of Kyle Singler. Because I think he

355
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: was a very beginning the Thunder got him from Detroit,

356
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: he was in the forty percent category and then I

357
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: don't know what happened with that move, but a lot

358
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: has happened with that move. If you go back to

359
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Morrow, you go back to Mike Muscala, Doug mcmrm,

360
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: it's just hasn't.

361
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: Didn't he come in to be a three point specialist?

362
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, So I don't know, maybe it's something bigger than.

363
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: And so you've seen that you can win by playing

364
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: a certain style of basketball. To think that you're going

365
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: to throw a guy just to be a three point

366
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: specialist to Oklahoma City, there's so much intricacy with the

367
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: way that that team is structured, between defense and offense

368
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: generating off of each other. Uh, the mid range shot

369
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: being bread and butter for the Thunder. I just think

370
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: that trying to throw a three point specialist in that

371
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: runs the risk of screwing up the chemistry. Whereas if

372
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: you could find a big that is going to give

373
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: you good minutes, that's going to help generate offense through

374
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: the pick and roll, and is going to get improve

375
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Citi's rebounding because rebounding has been a major red

376
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: flag for the team this year, both defensive and offensive rebounding.

377
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: That to me makes way more sense than trying to

378
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: find a unicorn that's going to come in here and

379
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: be the answer to the three point issues.

380
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: I agree, you can also bet your bottom dollar on

381
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: this is that Oklahoma City has real roster assets and

382
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: trade assets that if Sam Presty feels like there's something

383
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: that this team needs, they're going to get it. If

384
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: they don't make a move with the deadline, then I

385
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: think that tells you that they feel good about where

386
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: they are.

387
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: When you say that, do you assume, because I think

388
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: you've said this before, you assumed that there would be

389
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: a Jang move this year. Are you still thinking that

390
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: they're going to move Jang before the deadline's over?

391
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it would if they need something.

392
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: He's another pretty good piece there.

393
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: But even if they don't necessarily find the piece that

394
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: they're looking for, that's another instance like you were talking about,

395
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: and this is a specific instance, like unlike the iHeart thing,

396
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: where you know this guy, you're going to lose him

397
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: for nothing, so when you be better off to try

398
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: and move him and get whatever you could get for him,

399
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: if it's something that is slightly beneficial to you, then

400
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: to hang on to him and get nothing for.

401
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Him, Well, the most likely move here is I as

402
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: I think that when the Thunder we're acquiring all these

403
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: draft picks, they considered those as assets more than anything like, Okay,

404
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: we're just going to get as many of these as possible.

405
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: We don't really have a plan for how we're going

406
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: to deploy him. And so now what they have to

407
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: do is they've got to move some of them forward.

408
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Like there's no reason to have three picks right this

409
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: year's draft. So you're going to see Oklahoma City whenever

410
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: in the deadline or whenever it might be, is push

411
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: those picks on down the road. They did that last year,

412
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: include somebody like jaying in there, you know, I mean

413
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: like this MAVs thing, like you remember the Thunder and

414
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: when it came to you know, they got Daniel Gafford

415
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of criticism of Oklahoma City

416
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: helped facilitate that move for the MAVs. But now they

417
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: get the MAVs a pick swap in twenty twenty eight with.

418
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 4: The mass right, I mean, it's a great point.

419
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: Absolute wasteland right down there at this point in time.

420
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: So the thunder Half some incredible assets. I just I

421
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: think that they're They're gonna move in the margins for

422
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: sure with Sam Presci and there's nobody out there better

423
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: than him to do it. So that's what I'm saying,

424
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: is it whatever, whatever moves are made or not made.

425
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you'd like to maximize value for

426
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Jaying and maybe it just isn't there the way that

427
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: they want it to be. But I you know, if

428
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: they can't move him or I mean, like I don't know,

429
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: you get a second round pick for him, which ook

430
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: Clyum City has been deadly with here recently.

431
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: So hey, that Clippers pick is getting a whole lot

432
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: better the second half of the year, you think.

433
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if they're gonna move James Harden, I mean

434
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 2: it is it is just.

435
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: They want to move and sweeter completely away from that

436
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: core by twenty twenty seven, yep.

437
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: Oh, there I have to those guys are all gonna

438
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: be in the retirement home.

439
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: Yep.

440
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: Okay, for today, a couple of things. One news flash,

441
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: Alex Caruso has been upgraded to from doubtful to questionable.

442
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: So we may see Caruso out there on the floor tonight.

443
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: I think if he's upgraded, then somebody else may not

444
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: go tonight. I don't know, so we'll find out whenever.

445
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen with the game tonight against the Magic

446
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: with the game tomorrow night in San Antonio. Secondly, The

447
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Ultimate has got a big deal going on today.

448
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: They are having a special show at Southern Steer Butcher

449
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: Company that is in edmund And if you bring your

450
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: Steeler skier, whatever it is, you know, sweatshirt, doesn't matter,

451
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna donate.

452
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 4: It's good will.

453
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: The Ultimate is on a crusade to get everybody to

454
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: be off the Steeler bandwagon for their mismanagement of the

455
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: franchise over the last few years. And if you donate,

456
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a free pound of marinate a chicken.

457
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty cool. So I assume I got

458
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: a lot of marinated chicken. Because these type of deals

459
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: usually they bring a crowd. I would think too. If

460
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: you're I mean, like if you are a Raiders fan,

461
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: or you are a Cardinals fan or a Browns fan

462
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: or whatever, you could bring your gear and donate it too.

463
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: For he's all those franchises are stunk as well. So

464
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that if it's going to Goodwill,

465
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: you'll have to check the eligibility on the chicken offer.

466
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,760

00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Gonna have to. You'll have to take that up with

476
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: from the court and so the petition to stop that

477
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: been thrown out and so it's now proceed proceed forward

478
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: with the eight thousand seat arena that's going to be

479
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: not too far from my house here in Norman. That's

480
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: Rock Creek and I thirty five for the most part. Okay,

481
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. We have Kenny Kenny on

482
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: the line.

483
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 6: Hello Kenny, Hello, guys, I'm just trucking along here on

484
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 6: forty listening to the show and what's I love it.

485
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 6: I love you guys. It's my second favorite show, next

486
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 6: to Jim Bone Travor. But anyway, I can take this

487
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 6: question off the air. What if we package some kind

488
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 6: of deal with hard Stein and maybe a pig or

489
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 6: Jane for Jared Allen? Can we do that? I'll take

490
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: get out there thinks.

491
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: If you?

492
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: If you, I mean, I don't know if the Cavs

493
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: truly don't like him right.

494
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: Well, remember the Thunder had the opportunity to get Jared

495
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: Allen and chose Hartenstein over Jared Allen. Yeah, I mean,

496
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: I'm not sure Allen's that much better than Hartenstein.

497
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: Jared Allen is more expensive, yes.

498
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 4: Way more.

499
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: Well, in the Thunder overpaid for Hartenstein just to guarantee

500
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: that we were going to be able to get him.

501
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.

502
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna I think they'll investigate lots of

503
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 2: different things. But the issue is not quality of play

504
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: as much as it is the cost. And Jared Allen

505
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: is not going to be any cheaper than Hartenstein, so

506
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: that that doesn't that doesn't help our situation. They got

507
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: to find somebody that can contribute. That's going to be

508
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 2: cheap or cheaper.

509
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: Let's go to tray. What up?

510
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: Tray? Hey?

511
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 7: What was the y'all said that there was gonna be

512
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 7: coverage from Alcatraz? What even was that?

513
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: What?

514
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 8: Yeah?

515
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 4: Nobody was the super Bowl?

516
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 7: Oh the Super Bowl. I think they were doing that because,

517
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 7: you know, to get get attention from the youth. You know,

518
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 7: Call of Duty has been has had a map from

519
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 7: Alcatrast on a on a game mode for the last

520
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: probably five to six years, and that's and that's real

521
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 7: big on Call of Duty. So I think that was,

522
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 7: you know, to get attention from the youth.

523
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to say, yesterday, what is actually going

524
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: on at Alcatraz? I think they give you a tour

525
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: if you go to Alcatraz.

526
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's basically it's not a national park,

527
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: but it's part of the National Park system. I think

528
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: it's a National landmark maybe, So yeah, you could go

529
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: tour it and see the stuff and walk around on

530
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: the island and all that stuff.

531
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

532
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

533
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 7: Well, so it's big in the youth though, because it's

534
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 7: in that video game. Okay, So with your ye I

535
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 7: love you guys, I appreciate Joe.

536
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: So you man, one of my favorite, maybe my favorite

537
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: and possibly not possibly. It's definitely the only song title

538
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: that I know from Corey Felman.

539
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: What's up with the youths?

540
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: With that lady? Again? Just talking to Chet, I mean,

541
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. We could do that for the use.

542
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: By the way, Mark you mentioned Chet back spasms and

543
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: Shay both on the injury report. Also Hartenstein and Jaywell

544
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: both on the injury report as well.

545
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yeah, we were talking about that earlier. It's

546
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: it's almost certainly because of the back to back and

547
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: we're playing Orlando tonight and San Antonio tomorrow night. So

548
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: as much as you want to see those guys, the

549
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: San Antonio game a little more crucial for the Oklahoma

550
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: City standings than the Orlando game.

551
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: There might be some situational rest going on about in

552
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: both of those games.

553
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: What's wrong with Orlando this year? Is it just injuries

554
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: with Wagner and such, or is it more.

555
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Than can't it can't shoot? Their best player is not

556
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: not very good.

557
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: You're saying very inefficient from Paulo Banco.

558
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: Let's look at Paulo Bancaro's numbers this year. I don't

559
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: think this is going to be something that she would

560
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: say is the guy that's going to lead you to

561
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: any kind of championship. Ben Cao is shooting forty six

562
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: point two percent from the field. He has upped his

563
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: three point percentage from under thirty percent to thirty point

564
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: two seventy six percent pre throw shooter, he's just barely

565
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: even shooting fifty one percent on twos. So that's just

566
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's not getting a whole lot done.

567
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: I have been impressed by Anthony Black. He's been impressive.

568
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: Now not very consistent. He'll drop twenty six and then

569
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: he'll drop a you know, six or fourteen, but he

570
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: has games where I'm like, I can really play.

571
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: And there's not a whole lot of not a whole

572
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: lot of depth, not a whole lot of depth there

573
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: on the team. Melissa wants to talk to us.

574
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay from Goodwill Oh him.

575
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: Melissa, how are you doing.

576
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 5: I'm good. How are you guys?

577
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: Good good?

578
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 5: We just wanted to call and say thanks.

579
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you got to thank Travor. I mean, it

580
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: is nothing that we have anything to do with. So,

581
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Jim wants to make sure you guys are

582
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to get rid of all that Steeler gear

583
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: now that nobody wants it.

584
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 5: Though, well, hey we we we can do that. We

585
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 5: surely there's somebody around here that's a Steeler fan, right

586
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 5: is there? Not in my house now?

587
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: Full disclosure, Jim wanted to burn all this stuff and

588
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: they wouldn't let him.

589
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: So well, that's wow.

590
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 5: I can appreciate whoever said.

591
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: No goodwill pipeline Melissa, where you guys could ship this

592
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: stuff up to Pennsylvania somewhere and maybe they could gather

593
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: up some some Oklahoma stuff to send back to you.

594
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 5: Hey, that's a possibility. We work with all the good

595
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 5: Wills around the country there.

596
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: Maybe that's the maybe that's the move.

597
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we could totally look into that.

598
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: I think, well, we'll have to get you in touch

599
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: with Jim and so we can make sure that this

600
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 1: handoff happens. It happens and everything is is taken care of.

601
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, we're just kidding. Do you have

602
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: a favorite team.

603
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 5: Melissa, Well, I have to be a Raven's and Eagles fans.

604
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 5: My son's a Ravens fan, so you can imagine why

605
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: we don't like the Steelers in my house right now.

606
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 5: And then my husband's an Eagles fan, so I follow

607
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: both of those.

608
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: Well, now, how did.

609
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: Your how did your son become a Ravens fan? If

610
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: your husband is an Eagles fan, that that doesn't typically

611
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: work out that way.

612
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 5: He wanted to go against any team that my husband

613
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 5: wasn't choosing, so that there could be, you know, a

614
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: rivalry in the house he's got. It would be more

615
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 5: fun that way.

616
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 4: I like it. How old is your son?

617
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 5: He's fifteen and he's been a fan for probably about

618
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 5: four years now.

619
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:55,520

Speaker 5: appreciate it.

639
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 4: Thanks thanks listening all right.

640
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 5: Bye.

641
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Eagles and Ravens. That's an odd group.

642
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: It's always interesting, and especially in the NFL. You know,

643
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: it's her kid is fifteen, he's going to be a

644
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: thunder fan in the NBA. But with the NFL not

645
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: having a team, but usually, like you followed the teams

646
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 2: your dad does, so her son at ten or eleven

647
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: was like, I'm not rooting for dad's team.

648
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: I want to root against somebody that I had the

649
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: same thing.

650
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 3: That's part of the reason why I'm an Eagles fan

651
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 3: is my dad was a Steelers fan. Is a Steelers fan, okay,

652
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: but there's not a huge rivalry there. I just like

653
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: the Eagles at the time.

654
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: Usually it tends to skew towards what team is successful.

655
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: So like if she had said, my son is a

656
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: Patriots fan, then I would have been, oh, sure, of course.

657
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: It's like when we got when the Warriors are in

658
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: town and you see younger people that are here in

659
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: Warriors gear from okayc like, winning teams always garner some fandom,

660
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: but that was sort of random that her son would

661
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: be a Ravens fan, because not like the Ravens have

662
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: been super in the last little bit.

663
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: Sam chose wisely if he's just gonna fade the hump

664
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: Man by not going with the Browns of the Bengals.

665
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: You guys want to talk to Joe, it.

666
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: Wouldn't have been as much fun.

667
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 4: What's up show?

668
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 9: How are you guys doing today? So I got two questions,

669
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 9: all right, I can both off the year. So first one,

670
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 9: who that has played at OU for football is in

671
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 9: the Hall of Fame? Like, do we have any quarterbacks

672
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 9: in the Hall of Fame? And then the second one

673
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 9: is who's the most successful player that's ever become a coach?

674
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 4: From you are just.

675
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: He just cut off if he's talking about the NFL

676
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. There are no OU quarterbacks in the

677
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: NFL Hall of Fame. The only Troy Aikman an OU

678
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: quarter The.

679
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 4: Only player is Leroy Selman, isn't it?

680
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: And the Pro No, no, no, they have others in

681
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: the in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tommy McDonald

682
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 1: is in.

683
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, that's right, But that's okay, it's a

684
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: short list.

685
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: I mean, there aren't that many players from OU that

686
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 4: are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

687
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: Is most successful successful OU player to be a coach?

688
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean Daryl Royal would fit uh OU player Texas coach.

689
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: I think del Royal won how mean national championships? Multiple

690
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: trying to think of other OU players that went on

691
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: to be very successful head coaches.

692
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: Leroy and Tommy McDonald. The only two OU players in

693
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. Ad will be and like you said, yeah,

694
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: Ad will be, Trent Williams probably will Aid Johnson. But

695
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: like you said, Mark, if you consider Troy Aigman because

696
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: he did play for OU for a year, uh, he's

697
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame, but most people wouldn't consider

698
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: that an OU guy in the Hall of Fame.

699
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully that was Hopefully that answered your question.

700
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: We have a very worried individual on the text line

701
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: asking multiple times if Shay sits out tonight, does that

702
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: mess up his record of consecutive twenty point games.

703
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: The answer is.

704
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: No, no, because he's not the only way he's going

705
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: to break that streak is either not get twenty or

706
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: start a game and get hurt before he gets to

707
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: twenty if he stays out of it. He's already stayed

708
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: out of a game this year, hasn't he. He hasn't

709
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: started every.

710
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 4: Game, has he.

711
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 3: No, he's definitely rested.

712
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that that will not affect that twenty point

713
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 2: game streak.

714
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: The point sprint on the game has moved up a point.

715
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: Like Oklahoma City. He went from six and a half

716
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: point favorites to seven and a half point favorites. I

717
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: think that the people that move those lines, if they

718
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: knew that SGA was not going to play tonight, I

719
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: don't think that the line would be moving in that way.

720
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: Not sure, but that's just me guessing who's next. I

721
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: think he said, Rambo, Okay, very good, John, Rambo, go ahead, John.

722
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 8: Not quite John, but yeah, comes to it. I got

723
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 8: two part questions, not related. The first one is how

724
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 8: about Hardened back to Houston reunited with kde I take

725
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 8: these answers out there. And then my second one is

726
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 8: I have a suggestion for oh, you basketball coach. I

727
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 8: don't know if you guys know who Terry Long is.

728
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 8: He was a coach of Douglas. He coached Stevie Clark,

729
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 8: at that rings a man and he coached Dorian Williams,

730
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 8: who is the coach at deal with right now?

731
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: Okay, what about I know Terry very well, what about him?

732
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 4: He's suggesting him to replace Porter Moser.

733
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: Uh, Terry is a great coach, but I mean he

734
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: has no collegiate experience. I think that's gonna be tough,

735
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I mean I got a

736
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of faith in Terry Long but.

737
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get definitely. I was just thinking,

738
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 8: you know, try something different, just a new age of

739
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 8: sports right now, and hey, uh.

740
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 4: You know, I think you'd be assistant coach.

741
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 8: Right absolutely too, absolutely too yeah, yeh yeh.

742
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 3: I mean, to your heart, to your heart question, to

743
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: your hearten question. I mean, if he doesn't end up

744
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: getting the deal done, or if the Clippers don't end

745
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 3: up getting the deal done with Cleveland, you would think

746
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: that Houston would be after him, considering they need a

747
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: facilitator in a point guard and he can definitely do

748
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: that at this point in his career.

749
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 8: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah.

750
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 4: I appreciate you, Bliss, thanks man, appreciate it. Rambo, thank you, Rambo.

751
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where's where he's Uh, you know what

752
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So all right, let's see here. What else

753
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: we one other thing I was going to try to

754
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: get in there. All right, we'll take a break, we'll

755
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: come back. We will continue to take your phone calls

756
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: or your texts, whichever. We'd love to have him right

757
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: here on the middle of the day show. Like you said,

758
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on here and there, so

759
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: we will continue to keep you on top of everything

760
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: out there in the world of sports. Right here on

761
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: ninety eight point one w Let's sports Animal buck back

762
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: pick training in the NBA. This is a really a

763
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: weird one. We're trying to figure this one out kind

764
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: of on our own here, Sam, can you read the

765
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: This is a massive deal. Basically, what is happening is

766
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: that Jazz are sending some first round picks to Memphis

767
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: for a bunch of their bench in Jared Jackson junior.

768
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: The Jazz are allergic to tanking. The Memphis Grizzlies are

769
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: trading star forward Jaron Jackson junior, John con Char Jacques Landell,

770
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 3: Vince Williams junior, all of that to the Utah Jazz

771
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 3: for Walter Clayton Junior, who you saw at Florida last year.

772
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, George nie Yang and three future

773
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 3: first round picks. So what this ties to Oklahoma City?

774
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 3: As is right now, Oklahoma City owns Utah's first round pick,

775
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 3: but it's one through eight protected. So if Jared Jackson

776
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: Junior helps out Utah a little bit and they finish

777
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: ninth or better, the Thunder gets that pick.

778
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting Utah. They've had some interesting games here lately.

779
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: They beat San Antonio, remember right after a san Antonio

780
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: kind of crushed Oklahoma City. I think this means that

781
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: Utah believes that they can kind of make a run

782
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: at six, seven, eight. I don't know something in there

783
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: in the in the West. I mean, they're terrible right now,

784
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: they're fifteen and thirty five. I mean they have to

785
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: go way up. They've lost six games in a row.

786
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: It's not the time to kind of make that deal

787
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: unless that they just felt like Jared Jackson Junior next

788
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: year is going to be a piece of that team

789
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: that that is gonna give them a lot better chance

790
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: to start. I mean, so they're gonna have to be

791
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people.

792
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: Shout out to my man Bobby Thompson. Whenever I was

793
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: producing those Thunder broadcasts, you know, when I first started

794
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 3: working here, Bobby would always say the Utah Jazz or

795
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: the definition of NBA purgatory, And by that he meant

796
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: they're never really good and they're never bad enough to

797
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: get a top draft pick.

798
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: And that's a mistake in all of professional sports these days.

799
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what we've talked about with the

800
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. And sometimes you gotta be bad for a

801
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 2: year or two in order to be good.

802
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys do that.

803
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: They just don't let themselves bottom out enough to get

804
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: the picks that you need to rejuvenate yourself. This makes

805
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: no sense to me on any level. Mark, even if

806
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: they think that Jackson Junior is going to be a

807
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: guy for them next year, I still why are they

808
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: doing this deal now? And do they really think that

809
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: six or seven or eight in the playoffs this year

810
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: is worth dragging yourself up just good enough? It makes

811
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: no sense to me. I don't understand that what they

812
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: were thinking with that move.

813
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely get better, but they're better.

814
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: But even those bench pieces from Memphis are are are good.

815
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: I think Jack Landell is not bad again?

816
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: Just but how much better is better? Are they better

817
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: than Houston? Are they better than Denver? Are they better

818
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 2: than OKC? Are they better than Phoenix?

819
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: The only thing they're better than is a chance to

820
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: make the play in But they're still there are eight

821
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: games out of that at this point.

822
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: Also, is Jaren Jackson junior worth three first round picks?

823
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: I know he's a great defender. He worth three first rounders?

824
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. This is a weird trade. Again,

825
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't they I mean what they're doing.

826
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: Also, I guess Jaw is staying.

827
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: What if he stays, it's because they don't think that

828
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: they've gotten well, listen, any kind of value for him.

829
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 2: Can you imagine a worse fit anywhere in the NBA

830
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: than Jaw going to Utah?

831
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, right, No, he wouldn't. They wouldn't.

832
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: So I don't think it means anything in regards to Jaw.

833
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: I think if somebody would give them an offer that

834
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: they felt like was worthy, they would still move on often.

835
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is they are moving away from

836
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 3: their other star and riding around Jaw.

837
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: I get that, but I think that I don't think

838
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 2: that means that they're going to build around Jaw. I

839
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: think it means that there's no way that Jaw was

840
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: going to go to Utah, And so is there a

841
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: deal out there to be done. If there is, then

842
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: they still would move away from him and rebuild.

843
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a weird one.

844
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm no connoisseur of strip clubs around the country. Back

845
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: in the day, I could have told you some cities

846
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: with some good ones, and I know Atlanta still has

847
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: some good ones. But I'm ranking in the thirty two cities,

848
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: well thirty thirty whatever cities in the NBA. I got

849
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: to rank Salt Lake City at the bottom of the

850
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: heap in terms of strip clubs. So Jaw is not interested.

851
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: So if you're a thunderfan the second half of the season,

852
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 3: you root for the Clippers to lose if we've been

853
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: doing all year long, but you root for the Jazz

854
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: to win.

855
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Listen, this is a good move for

856
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: Thunder fans. It just makes no sense to me from

857
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: an organizational point of view for Utah.

858
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: Good point by Raves here, I mean he really you know,

859
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: Matt is excellent on the NBA, just knows the league

860
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: back and forward. So he just says, this makes it

861
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: easier to trade Jaw because you can embrace a full

862
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: rebuild to get a thirty minute, thirty million dollar trade

863
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: exception back. So it's just I don't blame them on Yeah,

864
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: they get it. They've got a part ways with Jaw,

865
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: who was over there on the bench last night watching

866
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: the game, like he's done most of his career in Memphis.

867
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: But you you want to try to get something back

868
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: that in the future that you can build around. So

869
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, man, Memphis got a bunch of picks. They

870
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: get a bunch of first round picks, they get a

871
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: bunch of picks from Orlando, they get a bunch of

872
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: picks from Utah. Those could be pretty good picks. I

873
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: didn't look at the exceptions on those. Maybe most of

874
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: Utah's picks could be Minnesota's picks, which probably aren't going

875
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: to be that good.

876
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 2: So, if you'll pardon the expression, who is going to

877
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 2: pull the trigger on Jaw?

878
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I'm not sure.

879
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm hard pressed to looking across them and is.

880
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: Trying to win. I don't think I mean.

881
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 4: No, I mean, this makes no sense to me. It's

882
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 4: not logical.

883
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: But as I think across the league, like Milwaukee, because

884
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: they're basically watching everything walk out the door when Yannis leaves,

885
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: would they make a play for him? Like, I just

886
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 2: don't know where jaw seems to fit in this league.

887
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: And that's a sad statement considering where he was four

888
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: years ago versus where he is today. But I mean,

889
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 2: any team that's got any chance to win is crazy

890
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 2: if they bring that into their locker room.

891
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Scham's just verified the same thoughts. As Raves says,

892
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 3: the move signals a full rebuild for the Grizzlies around

893
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 3: its promising young core and now as many future first

894
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: round picks as any team in the NBA. Now, wait,

895
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 3: is he saying that they are going to keep Jaw?

896
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 5: No?

897
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: I think I don't know what promising young Corey's talking about,

898
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: and mean Cedric Coward or I mean, I mean I

899
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, I don't know. But yes, I think he's

900
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: saying they're gonna move him.

901
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

902
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 3: So do you guys think that he moves by the deadline?

903
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: I think if Memphis is smart and somebody will take him,

904
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: I think one hundred percent you move him by the

905
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: deadline because you think his value is going to go up.

906
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: He just is what he is.

907
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 2: So I think if you've got a team that thinks

908
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: they've got a chance this year to play themselves in

909
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 2: sort of like what you were just talking about with Utah.

910
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 4: Then they make the move and Memphis is all over it.

911
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for the jazz and the Grizzlies.

912
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: They're like the people that are that they're the first

913
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: group at party at a party about eight o'clock that

914
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 2: decide to do shots. So let's let's get after it

Speaker 2: think is the worst super Bowl halftime performance? I was

929
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 2: reading a listing of the worst performances in the modern era.

930

00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 3: You know.

936
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,959
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is like, I'm not the halftime show

937
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: is not something to me a massive interest And I

938
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: don't even really remember that many of them, and I

939
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: probably should because I think there's been some really, you know,

940
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: really good ones or artists that I've really liked that

941
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: have done it. I have to go back and do

942
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of research.

943
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: Sam, you have a pick at that, I'd have to

944
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 3: go back and look. I like to Rea's a couple

945
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 3: of years ago. I thought it was really good. My

946
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 3: two favorites were U two and Prince. I thought Prince

947
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: was phenomenal. I thought Justin Timberlake was really bad. There

948
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 3: have been some that I just didn't care about. There's

949
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 3: a difference between not caring, not being interested, and just

950
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: being bad.

951
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 2: I thought justin Timberlake was bad. I thought Katy Perry

952
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: was bad. But the number one worst.

953
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 1: I are with both of those.

954
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 2: They'd say in the modern era. And this is even

955
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: above and beyond some of those Disney shows that they

956
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: rolled out in the early nineties before they really started

957
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: making at a blockbuster event. Every year they had Maroon

958
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: five as the worst performance halftime performance of all time,

959
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: and I do remember that one being pretty weak. I

960
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: don't remember it being out outlandishly bad. But I do

961
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: think both of those that I mentioned I thought were

962
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: really bad. I thought justin Timberlake just brought nothing to

963
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: the proceedings, and Katy Perry was almost embarrassing.

964
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 3: Bruno Mars was pretty good.

965
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 4: Bruno Mars was good.

966
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 2: And he had either all the red Hot Chili peppers

967
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 2: or some of the red Hot Chili peppers with him.

968
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 4: Yeah he did. Yeah.

969
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't have an opinion about Bad Bunny.

970
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 2: I probably won't pay that much attention to it just

971
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: because it doesn't doesn't fall into my wheelhouse at all.

972
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: But I also I am not going to go out of

973
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 2: my way to try and tune over to the kid

974
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: rock whatever that thing's called all American halftime.

975
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 3: Should everybody's saying Prince on the.

976
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: Text line, Prince, I think was really really good. I'm

977
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: a big U two fan, so I'm going to put

978
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 2: that one up there for me too, But for somebody

979
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: that I was like, Okay, this could be good. I

980
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: might care about it. I thought Prince really knocked it

981
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: out of the park.

982
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.

983
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: I thought Tom Petty was good, Springsteen was pretty good.

984
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: I was disappointed in the Who, but you know, those

985
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 2: guys were getting their years by the time they did it.

986
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: Stones. I don't even remember Shakira in j Loo.

987
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: I think that was the year that the Chiefs won

988
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 3: their first.

989
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 2: So give us your thoughts on that as we go

990
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: through the hour. I was just watching ESPN during the

991
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: break covering the the Memphis Utah Trade, and they were

992
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: showing their their take on it. Was what does this

993
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 2: mean for Jaw's future with the Grizzlies, which we were

994
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: talking about in the last segment.

995
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 4: But looking at.

996
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 2: Those highlights of Jaw just shows you how sad it

997
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 2: is that all the athleticism in the world cannot get

998
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: you over a mental hurdle. I mean, you look at

999
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: the highlights of that guy, and you would think anybody

1000
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 2: would crazy not to want somebody with that kind of athleticism.

1001
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: On their team, but based on the drama that he

1002
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 2: brings into the locker room, I would argue that you'd

1003
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: be crazy don't want to bring that in.

1004
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: And I mean, that's pointed this out a ton. I

1005
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: think the biggest issue with John Moran is the availability

1006
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: games in his career. It's it's I mean, like you

1007
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: can talk about all of the issues off the floor

1008
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: that you want, I mean, and some of the availability

1009
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: has been a product of the issues off the floor,

1010
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: but he it just doesn't seem like he cares about basketball.

1011
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think it all goes into a big basket

1012
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 2: together because I think that that negativity manifests itself in

1013
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: the locker room and you got guys that are resentful

1014
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: of You're making all this money and you just don't care.

1015
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 2: So I think it's hard to separate the things out

1016
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 2: from each other, which is why I agree with what

1017
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 2: Matt was saying is availability is a problem. But you

1018
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: look at I think for a team to be really successful,

1019
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: it's got to be a finely tuned machine. And I

1020
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 2: think that we talked about the thunder, we were talking

1021
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: about the trade deadline last hour. You look at the

1022
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 2: way that this team has been put together, and I

1023
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: know that they focus on character, and there are a

1024
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: handful of teams in the NBA that really focus on

1025
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 2: character the way that the Thunder organization.

1026
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 4: Does, but that team is put together.

1027
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 2: They went out and got iHeart last year because they

1028
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: knew that was a piece that was Arguably they overpaid

1029
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: a little bit for him, but it was worth it

1030
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: because it brought.

1031
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 4: In a championship.

1032
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 2: I think that anything that throws the the the rhythm

1033
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 2: of the machine out of whack is a is a

1034
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: big mistake. And that's why I think taking a gamble

1035
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 2: on a guy like that is just a nightmare.

1036
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you one.

1037
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 4: Let's go to the phones and talk to some callers.

1038
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: World five nine hundred WWLS Bama Tom, what's.

1039
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 6: Up, hey, guys.

1040
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 10: I attended the nineteen ninety seven After Alabama, we moved

1041
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 10: to Milwaukee in Saint Louis and then here, so I

1042
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 10: became a Packer fan. And the Super Bowl was in

1043
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 10: New Orleans, where I went to law school. So I

1044
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 10: had a buddy put me and my fiance up for

1045
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 10: a week for free in the Garden District and then

1046
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 10: I called tickets unlimited. When Green Bay beat Carolina, for

1047
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 10: seven hundred and fifty dollars apiece and got twenty yard

1048
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 10: line seats, and I saw Ray Nitski and I got

1049
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 10: to meet John bon Jovi. I said, hey, you're John

1050
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 10: bon Jovi's all like three feet tall. And then in

1051
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 10: the bathroom it was hilarious. The packer fans were saying, hey,

1052
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 10: I took a piss next to the Fresh Prince and uh,

1053
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 10: macarena was the opening act. Uh the guy that did

1054
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 10: the macarena? And I think the Blues Brothers were the

1055
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 10: halftime that was.

1056
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: On eight, if that's right that was and you said

1057
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: ninety seven, right, yeah, yeah, that was one of the

1058
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: worst ones. Was it was it Jim Belushi with Ackroyd

1059
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 2: that that We.

1060
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 10: Went to the bathroom and got snacks. We didn't watch it,

1061
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 10: but in our seats was a Duffel bag of goodies.

1062
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 10: And of the three levels, I thought seven to fifty

1063
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 10: would get me the nosebleed. I was so close to

1064
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 10: the field I could see the names on their jersey.

1065
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 10: I recorded the game back home on the VCR and

1066
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 10: we had big TVs that were hanging down so we

1067
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 10: could see what you see on at home on TV.

1068
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 10: At the stadium, after the play and it was that

1069
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 10: we spent a whole week there. There were Patriots fans

1070
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 10: that dressed up in uniform, Packers and Patriots, the great weather.

1071
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 10: It was kind of like a Marty Grass atmosphere. And

1072
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 10: it was just because Green Bay had sucked for twenty

1073
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 10: years and my parents had died young. I wasn't gonna

1074
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 10: mortgage the future and said, I'm gonna go to Ireland,

1075
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go to the super Bowl. I'm going to

1076
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 10: go to this Cardinals World Series. All the stuff that

1077
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 10: people put off in my twenties and thirties, I went

1078
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:30,959
Speaker 10: and did.

1079
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, listen, ask Jet fans if if they would

1080
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 2: pass on.

1081
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 4: That's why I knew that there would be a.

1082
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: Big contingent of Indiana fans at the National Championship game.

1083
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: Jet fans are a testament too. You put it off.

1084
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: You never know when it's going to happen, So good

1085
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 2: for you forgetting the time.

1086
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 4: Looking at it.

1087
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 3: Here the Blues Brothers and then you got zz Top,

1088
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 3: James Brown and Catherine Cryer.

1089
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 4: Was that all the same year? Yeah?

1090
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: See, you would think that zz Top and James Brown

1091
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 2: would elevate that off of being one of the worst.

1092
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, but that's less later. ZZ top up in Jans

1093
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 10: not early anyway. If you if your callers get to

1094
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 10: go to a Super Bowl, whether it's their team or not,

1095
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 10: get the those bleed tickets, mortgage the future. It is

1096
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 10: a thing to do.

1097
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 7: For one.

1098
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 10: It's good to go to Marti Grass and Carnival once.

1099
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 10: It's good to go to the Olympics once. I hadn't

1100
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 10: been to a final four in Olympics, but I've been

1101
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 10: to a World Series, NBA final and uh uh super Bowl.

1102
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 10: It's good to do one time. Anyway. God bless you

1103
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 10: guys and have a great week. And I'm glad you

1104
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 10: all are safe.

1105
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 4: Thanks for having Tom out. Appreciate you.

1106
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: There was another year that they played in New Orleans

1107
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 2: that there was They did a tribute to New Orleans

1108
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: halftime show and it had like the Neville Brothers and

1109
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: I think Irma Thomas played, maybe Pete Fountain, a bunch

1110
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,959
Speaker 2: of those legendary last year.

1111
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 3: They should have had Lil Wayne, but they did Kendrick

1112
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 3: Lamar instead and it was terrible.

1113
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: I'd tell you what I mean. Bamma. Tom has got

1114
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: it all over Major TJ. Kong, who went to a

1115
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: fair picnic in a rodeo, a world's fair.

1116
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: I went to a world fair.

1117
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of Snoop and Dre on the

1118
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 3: text line as well as one of the best that

1119
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 3: was a good year too, you're eminem and fifty that

1120
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 3: hadn't been that long ago was better at the super

1121
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 3: Bowl than he sounded a memorial state.

1122
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: This is an example of the super Bowl halftime show.

1123
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: The people that their demo is targeted are the people

1124
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: that like it, and the people's demo was not targeted,

1125
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: they are the people that don't like it. I mean,

1126
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: you give me Snoop, Viddy and all that stuff. That's

1127
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: my that's my target, Prince at the time, my target.

1128
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 2: I did not my target. I did not love the

1129
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 2: Weekend halftime show. I thought it was interesting the way

1130
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 2: that they did it, because didn't he pre record a

1131
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: bunch of it. I think a bunch of it had

1132
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 2: been recorded prior to the game so that they could

1133
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 2: do some cool stuff effects wise with it. But it

1134
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 2: wasn't really my cup of tea, Bad Bunny, not my

1135
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: cup of tea. I don't know the dude's music, but

1136
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: I'll probably.

1137
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 4: Give a little bit of a watch.

1138
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 2: But I'm I'm kind of like you Mark, unless it

1139
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: somebody that I am really dialed in to want to see.

1140
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: That's kind of a little break refresher, walk around a

1141
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: little bit, get some snacks, go to the bathroom moment.

1142
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 3: I would like Bad Bunnies music if I could understand it,

1143
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 3: but it's all a lot of it's in Spanish. But

1144
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 3: I was great on Happy Gilmore too.

1145
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: It's hard for me even to pay that much attention

1146
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: to the commercials. And you just figure that because that's right,

1147
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: you're moving around a little bit, or you're talking. I'm

1148
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: usually watching the super Bowl with a group of people,

1149
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: but if something happens in the halftime show, I figured

1150
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: that I can, you know, rewatch it.

1151
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 4: For my money.

1152
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 2: Super Bowl halftime show or a super Bowl watch party

1153
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 2: is one of the worst events to go to because

1154
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 2: I want to watch the game, I want to watch

1155
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 2: the commercials.

1156
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 4: I want to be plugged in.

1157
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 2: Prove me wrong that it's not the worst time to

1158
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 2: go watch something with a group of friends.

1159
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 4: I don't like it. You're right on the money with that, Brad.

1160
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: Depends on who the friends are. Well, that's true too.

1161
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if you've got a like minded group of friends,

1162
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: that are going to be dialed into the game.

1163
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 4: That'd be a different story.

1164
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 2: But I'm usually watching with a bunch of people that

1165
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 2: are kind of like, oh, this is an excuse for

1166
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 2: us to have a party.

1167
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 3: Guy that talks over the announcers or talks during a

1168
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 3: big game and you're at a party, that's the worst

1169
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 3: guy on the planet. I can't stand the loud guy.

1170
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 1: The all the free booze and food that you can

1171
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: possibly ever want at a Vegas super Bowl party. Not bad,

1172
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 1: not bad, I mean so right.

1173
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 2: Well listen, I'm not casting aspersion on any of that.

1174
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 2: It's just the group of people if they interrupt your

1175
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 2: ability to watch the game. I love going to watch.

1176
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: I went and watched a couple of the Thunder Championship

1177
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 2: Series games at a bar just to watch it with

1178
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: a group of people, and it was great. But it

1179
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 2: was a bunch of like minded people that were dialed

1180
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 2: into the game. Maybe maybe what I'm saying is my

1181
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: group of friends terrible super Bowl group of friends to

1182
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 2: watch the game.

1183
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: You have just cast a spersons on your friends.

1184
00:56:59,440 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 4: Well, listen.

1185
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 2: If the worst that happens of it is I get

1186
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 2: disinvited from the super Bowl party, then that's a win.

1187
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you that. In my corner.

1188
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: The uh yeah, but the people, I mean, I don't

1189
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: care if it's a Super Bowl watch party or any

1190
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: watch party. If somebody's dominating the the you know, the

1191
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: events with kind of needless discussion and all that kind

1192
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: of stuff, right, I mean, they should stand down.

1193
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 2: I went to This was maybe the worst call of

1194
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: all time. I went to a Sopranos finale watch party

1195
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: and it was terrible one because of all the things

1196
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 2: that we're talking about, and then two that particular episode

1197
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: that you're kind of left with a hey, what just happened?

1198
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 4: It was awful.

1199
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 2: It was a terrible call on my part to agree

1200
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 2: to go to it. Everybody trying to guess what's gonna

1201
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 2: happen next, and the spoilers and talking to just talking

1202
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: and you can't hear the dialogue, and hey, yeah, it

1203
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 2: was a bad idea, bad call.

1204
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: It's idea, that's a bad idea.

1205
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 4: All right.

1206
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 2: We're keeping an eye on the NBA trade market. We

1207
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 2: had that big trade that we can reset for you

1208
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: in a minute between Utah and Memphis, an eight player

Speaker 2: potential trades that are out there in the ether. Sam

1214
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 2: things about this I'm not crazy about too, that we

1224
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,000

00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: What are they doing?

1229
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 2: They're doing it is Caseo Blanco. Let me see, uh,

Speaker 2: and Fuzzies butt burning hot sauce.

00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: I like the butt burn and hot sauce, I really do.

1233
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: I think that is excellent. But I couldn't go with

1234
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: the quak in there.

1235
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like the guaco or the sour cream,

1236
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: but I'm not afraid of some KSO and I like

1237
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 2: the fact that they're teaming up with with Kese and Wallace.

1238
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 4: I think that's cool.

1239
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: That is really cool so for.

1240
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 2: A limited time right now, and they say they're going

1241
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 2: to be doing some other some social media stuff around

1242
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:42,959
Speaker 2: it as well.

1243
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 4: Sam, we got another trade?

1244
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: Can they make the butt Can they keep the butt

1245
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: burning sauce in there? Ironically? But can they? Can they

1246
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: lose the guacamole?

1247
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 2: I think they could probably work that out for you. Okay,

1248
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,959
Speaker 2: good guys, want to hear another trade?

1249
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Sure?

1250
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 3: Shams on Twitter just two minutes ago, says justin Chicago,

1251
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 3: Minnesota and Detroit have agreed to a multi team deal

1252
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 3: that sends Jaden Ivy and Mike Conley Junior to the Bulls,

1253
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 3: Kevin Herder and Dario Sariz to the Pistons. Doesn't say

1254
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 3: what Minnesota received.

1255
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 4: It says.

1256
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 3: Detroit also receives a twenty twenty six first round protected

1257
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 3: swap from Minnesota.

1258
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it's Minnesota. What did Minnesota send out? They sent

1259
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: out Conley? And what else they sent out Conley?

1260
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 4: That's it, right, Okay?

1261
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 6: What a man?

1262
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Mike Conley one hundred and twenty five years old? So

1263
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: are they are?

1264
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 4: They are?

1265
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: They potentially opening up something for uh Giannis?

1266
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 4: What was Conley's contract?

1267
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: It's I don't think they've got him. I think it

1268
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: had to be expiring. I mean, how could he be

1269
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: under contract for any longer than he is right now?

1270
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 3: Well for a team, but I'm saying, how much was

1271
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 3: he making this season for a team that's a contender?

1272
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 3: Mil that they they're not they're clearing out for something.

1273
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 3: So that is an interesting concept that you throw out there. Also,

1274
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 3: by the way, Sam, not just Dario Sarage thunder legend Daria.

1275
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 4: That's right, that's exactly right. That's interesting.

1276
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: That'll be Uh, that's gonna be an interesting scenario to

1277
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: keep your eye on.

1278
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,439
Speaker 1: Well, Minnesota gotta find some a real world point guard

1279
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: to take some of those. They can tell you where

1280
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: he is, what if that is going to be up.

1281
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 3: He's upset in Memphis right now?

1282
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: You think they're getting Jahn Morant.

1283
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 4: God, can you imagine?

1284
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 3: I think there's a possibility ant Man and John Moran on.

1285
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 4: The same team. Wow, it would be exciting. Yeah, it

1286
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 4: might be exciting.

1287
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 2: It might be exciting for reasons that you don't want

1288
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 2: if you're if you're Amberwolves fan. But still, I mean, listen,

1289
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 2: a train wreck is still something to watch. I grew

1290
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 2: up in a small town. We didn't have a lot

1291
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 2: of a lot of activity. The train came off the tracks.

1292
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes you might want to go see it, Yeah, for

1293
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 2: sure you would, of course.

1294
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: So what did that? I don't even know what the

1295
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Pistons are getting?

1296
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 3: What Kevin Herder the Pistons are getting? Yeah, Kevin Herder

1297
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 3: and Detroit also receives a first round protected pick swap

1298
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 3: from Minnesota.

1299
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 4: And Jade and Ivy is going to the Bulls.

1300
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 3: That's correct with Mike Conley.

1301
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: Mmmm, all right, the Bulls are the Bulls are. That's

1302
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: just a dumping ground, is what that is? Uh? Kevin

1303
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: Herder for Jade and Ivy is an upgrade for Detroit.

1304
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 3: Wolves freeing up money for something.

1305
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 4: You all right, bless you go ahead? I got my nose.

1306
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Is you get some burning sauce down the wrong pipe.

1307
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: No, I bought burning sauce. Wouldn't do this to me.

1308
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. Allergy, just something all of

1309
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: a sudden in my house.

1310
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 2: All right, here's something I'm not crazy about. Sam sent

1311
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 2: us this, Pete dammil uh. Just the bowl assignments and

1312
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 2: the dates for the college football playoffs for the next

1313
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 2: two seasons were just released, and Pete Theamill tweeted it out.

1314
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: This seems crazy to me. You know, we've talked a

1315
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 2: lot mark about trying to compress the college football season

1316
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: into one semester and realign the transfer portal dates and

1317
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 2: the coaches moving around, the carousel starting at a certain

1318
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 2: time and all of this stuff. There is a two

1319
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: week break. It's just under but it's a two week

1320
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 2: break between the semi finals and the quarterfinals for both

1321
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 2: of the next two years. And then there'll be another

1322
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: two week break I'm assuming before the National Championship game,

1323
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 2: because don't they usually have a weekend between. Am I

1324
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 2: confusing that with the Super Bowl?

1325
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: No, it's like a nine day period or an eight

1326
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: day period. College football playoff on a Monday, night, and

1327
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: so I think the calendar, I mean, this is really

1328
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: touch to me. I mean, like they they I don't

1329
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: know why those two groups couldn't could not come to

1330
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: an agreement on a sixteen team playoff, first of all,

1331
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,479
Speaker 1: but it shows still that the bowls have leverage. Rose

1332
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Bowl has power, I mean because it's going to continue

1333
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: to get its spot on New Year's Day. And I

1334
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: don't think they wanted to just turn over the national

1335
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: championship to the Rose Bowl. ESPN is trying to protect

1336
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: its rights to not have this go out forbid again.

1337
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of there's a lot of money

1338
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: at play, an influence at play here that's keeping us

1339
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: from doing this.

1340
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 2: How does it make sense that it's a six week playoff?

1341
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that is that's illogical.

1342
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just just be right just because you you know.

1343
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 2: So this year, for example, Wednesday the thirtieth, one of

1344
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 2: the quarterfinals games will be at the Fiesta Bowl. That's

1345
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, December thirtieth. On Friday the first, the Cotton Bowl,

1346
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 2: the Peach Bowl, and the Rose Bowl all have quarterfinals

1347
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 2: games and then they don't play again until the semi

1348
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 2: finals January fourteenth at the Orange Bowl and the fifteenth

1349
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 2: at the Sugar Bowl, and it's basically with the dates

1350
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 2: altering and the bulls altering, it's basically the same thing

1351
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 2: the next year. So to me, this is just a

1352
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 2: this is not good for college football. I don't think

1353
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 2: it's gonna hurt in the viewership numbers. People are still

1354
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 2: gonna watch it, but it's just I hate the fact

1355
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: that you've got to wait so long in between the

1356
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 2: games for one thing. I mean, we've seen the layoff

1357
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 2: be not good for teams that have gotten to buy.

1358
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 2: So if it is the layoff that's not good, that

1359
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 2: can't I mean, everybody's going to be laid off for

1360
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 2: basically the same amount of time. But I don't still

1361
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 2: see how that's any good for anybody.

1362
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. It's only good for ESPN. I think

1363
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: it's only good for the Rose Bowl. It's only good

1364
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: for the SEC who did not want to acquies to

1365
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: go into sixteen teams.

1366
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I got no problem with the continuing to

1367
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 2: hold their prominent role.

1368
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 4: That's fine.

1369
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: You want to do the quarterfinals in the semi finals

1370
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 2: at the bowls, great, but don't do it on a

1371
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 2: calendar that is just going to draw this thing out

1372
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 2: to this extent. And you know, I love the Rose Bowl.

1373
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 2: I love all the elements, the tradition, the parade aspect

1374
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 2: of it. But if you don't play on New Year's Day,

1375
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 2: you don't play on New Year's Day. But it's still

1376
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl. I don't like that two week gap

1377
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 2: between the quarterfinals and the semi finals. It's just that

1378
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 2: is illogical to me.

1379
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.

1380
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm also not a big fan of the week off

1381
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 2: in between the Super Bowl and the championship games. I mean,

1382
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 2: I understand it, and there are instances where it's good

1383
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 2: for teams. Sam Darnold is going to be able to

1384
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 2: heal his oblique that much more in between with that layoff,

1385
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 2: and I know that there's a lot of media coverage

1386
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 2: and stuff that goes into that week, But the Pro

1387
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 2: Bowl is a is a week w E a k

1388
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 2: fill in for what could be the Super Bowl. I'd

1389
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 2: rather move the NFL calendar back another week and take

1390
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 2: that week off in between out.

1391
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: The reason that they have the week off and between

1392
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is to make it the big media

1393
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: circus that it is, right, I mean, give everybody a

1394
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: chance to exhale and then you get everybody a chance

1395
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: to get on the ground for the whole week that

1396
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: is the Super Bowl. Teams can do a week of

1397
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: practice and things like that at their own facilities. When

1398
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: they go to the game. There's just a lot of

1399
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: responsibility that they have, you know what I'm saying, hopefully

1400
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: hoping that the hay is kind of in the barn

1401
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: for the game on Sunday. I mean, and so all

1402
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: it is is to build hype and you can't to me.

1403
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the Super Bowl needs to be hided.

1404
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Well, but I'm saying is you can't be critical too

1405
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: critical of the NFL and what they've done to promote

1406
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: their sport.

1407
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 2: No, I mean, they've done a fantastic job, and people

1408
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: watch it in the numbers that they do when they

1409
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,919
Speaker 2: know what they've got. Now that being said, I think

1410
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 2: it would be beneficial to both college football and the

1411
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 2: NFL if they moved their calendars away from each other

1412
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 2: a little bit and college football started a little bit

1413
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 2: earlier and we moved everything into that one semester period

1414
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 2: that we've talked about. But I also think it'd be

1415
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 2: good for the NFL to move there. I know they

1416
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 2: don't want to start too late. But I think the

1417
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 2: NFL the Super Bowl being the Sunday of President's Day weekend,

1418
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 2: I think is a no brainer. Yeah, they don't want

1419
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 2: to move it because what they got is working and

1420
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 2: they don't need to move it. But I think both

1421
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: of them would benefit from that. And you know, your

1422
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 2: adage of a day without football is worse than a

1423
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 2: day with football or whatever.

1424
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 4: I'm screwing that up, whatever the variation on it is.

1425
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 2: You would get that much more football separated away from

1426
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 2: each other that way.

1427
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, yes, which I don't mind that at all,

1428
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: But I do think the college football season could be

1429
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: moved up. Some of that would help. But I don't

1430
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: hate your suggestion.

1431
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 4: But that two weeks off in between is just nightmarriage.

1432
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 2: How does it make sense that you have an entire

1433
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 2: weekend without football in the middle of your postseason, meaning

1434
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,440
Speaker 2: college football?

1435
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, I thought. I think that everybody

1436
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: decided that this was you know what I'm saying that

1437
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: this wasn't optimal this year, that it's optimal to have

1438
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: it consistent one semester.

1439
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 2: But now they've got two more years that it's going

1440
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 2: to be laid out this way. Now, I suppose that idea.

1441
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 2: I suppose they could come in and change it. I

1442
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 2: don't know how set in stone this is, but they've

1443
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 2: laid out these schedules for the next two seasons for

1444
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 2: the postseason, so it's locked into a certain extent.

1445
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 4: All right.

1446
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 2: One more thing that I wanted to mention before we

1447
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 2: go to the break. The College Sports Commission has decided

1448
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 2: they are not going to give any disciplinary action to LSU,

1449
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 2: so Lane Kiffin gets to skate again. There was an

1450
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 2: investigation into whether LSU, among other teams, by the way,

1451
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 2: but LSU was the one that everybody sort of knew about,

1452
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,600
Speaker 2: was not reporting their nil agreements in the timetable that

1453
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 2: they're supposed to do it.

1454
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 4: They're supposed to.

1455
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 2: Be filed on the nil go platform within five days

1456
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 2: of becoming final the agreement being done. LSU reportedly had

1457
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 2: not been doing that. There was an investigation. They've decided

1458
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 2: that they will basically give them a verbal warning and

1459
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 2: hand out no disciplinary action. Which my question with that

1460
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: is what disciplinary action would they potentially give them. It's

1461
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 2: not like they can say you're going to get fined

1462
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 2: X amount of dollars off your salary cap, because there

1463
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: is no salary cap. It's not like they're going to

1464
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 2: say to them, Okay, well you can't have a certain

1465
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 2: number of players with NIL deals.

1466
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 4: Like I don't know what.

1467
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what I expected them to do, but

1468
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 2: I certainly am a little surprised that they're just like saying,

1469
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 2: don't do it again and calling it good.

1470
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no real discipline that goes on there. Alane

1471
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: Kiffin was also making some rounds on social media when

1472
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: he was having a little impromptu scrimmage with the football

1473
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: team and he went deep, like with the softball, Well,

1474
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: you got to clarify with the softball when you say

1475
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: Lane kiffn went deep, it was it was like, yeah, no,

1476
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: it was a legit softball game and he was at

1477
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: the plate. Somebody it may have been a baseball I

1478
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: don't know. If somebody like soft tossed in one and

1479
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: he knocked it out.

1480
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 4: Of the park, well good for him. Yeah, I hope

1481
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 4: that works out for him.

1482
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 2: By the way, fun time, it wasn't just the football

1483
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 2: team that had been accused of not filing their their

1484
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 2: NIL stuff. I think it really it had more to

1485
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 2: do with the what do they call compliance. I think

1486
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 2: it had as much to do with a compliance department

1487
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,839
Speaker 2: at LSU as it did anything, but still they basically

1488
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 2: get I wouldn't even call it a slap on the wrist.

1489
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 2: It basically got told don't do it again, and we'll

1490
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 2: call it good. So that's the update on that.

1491
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a break. I want to talk

1492
01:11:59,320 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 4: about branded be.

1493
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 2: Did you see him coming out and lashing out at

1494
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 2: people questioning the way that the Bills made their coaching

1495
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 2: coaching change this is so let's talk about that and

1496
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 2: and break down a little bit what he was saying

1497
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: and what that means when we continue. It's a Tuesday

1498
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 2: Middle of the Day show, Mark, Brad and Sam in

1499
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 2: studio on Natty point one, The Sports Animal and on

1500
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 2: the Sports Animal app. It's Tuesday Middle of the Day

1501
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 2: show on the Sports Animal. Mark Rodgers, Brad Copeland, Sam

1502
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 2: Humphreys in studio today Oral five nine hundred w WLS.

1503
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 2: Call us Texas. We'd love to hear from you in

1504
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 2: the time that we have remaining. Hey, before we get

1505
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 2: to this brand of bean story, Sam reset the two trades.

1506
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 2: So we had the deal between the Utah Jazz and

1507
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:48,560
Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzlies.

1508
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 3: Yes, so that deal was the Grizzlies received Walter Clayton Junior,

1509
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, George Nie Yang, and three future

1510
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 3: first round picks main Lee for Jaron Jackson junior, but

1511
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 3: also John Conchar Jack Landell, and Vince Williams. And so

1512
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 3: the Jazz look like they're gonna try to win, and

1513
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 3: which is good for the Thunder because the Thunder own

1514
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 3: the Jazz is pick, but it's protected one through eight.

1515
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 2: What is the timetable on those three first round picks? Well,

1516
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure specifics on it.

1517
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 4: I can look into.

1518
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 2: That's all right, don't worry about it. And then there

1519
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 2: was the other deal that just came down was a

1520
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 2: three team deal.

1521
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was Chicago. Minnesota and Detroit have agreed to

1522
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 3: a multi team deal that sends Jaden Ivy and Mike

1523
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 3: Conley to the Bulls, Kevin Herder and Dario Sarage to

1524
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 3: the Pistons, and Detroit also receives a twenty twenty six

1525
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 3: first round protected swap from Minnesota. So Minnesota is clearing

1526
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 3: space for probably honest, do.

1527
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 2: You ever got guys ever go to a party where

1528
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 2: like you put money into the pot and then you

1529
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 2: try and see you have to drink a certain amount

1530
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: over a certain course of time in the first person

1531
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 2: and that goes to the bathroom loses the money, and

1532
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 2: eventually the last man standing wins the money. So essentially

1533
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Utah and Memphis were the first ones to go to

1534
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 2: the bathroom for this trade.

1535
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 3: And also I should have mentioned that Shams's reporting that

1536
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 3: John Moran is likely to be gone by the deadline

1537
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 3: as well.

1538
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think that's pretty much a no brainer.

1539
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 2: On a similar note, and it also sort of ties

1540
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 2: the link between the Brandon Bean story and the trade deadline.

1541
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 2: Do you see our boy Van McMahon talk about how

1542
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: he was the mouthpiece for the Mavericks on the Luca deal,

1543
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 2: the Luca conditioning issue for Nico Harrison.

1544
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: So he admitted that the fact that he was using

1545
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 1: their information, well.

1546
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: What he basically said was is that Nico Harrison was

1547
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 2: using him to put the information out there about they

1548
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 2: weren't happy with Luca and his conditioning and his concerns

1549
01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 2: about him being a long term fit for the And

1550
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 2: McMahon eventually went back and said, look, I'm tired of

1551
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: being in the middle of this deal. You need to

1552
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 2: come out and put your name on it. If you

1553
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 2: want this information out there, you need to put your

1554
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 2: name on it. I'll get it out there. But I

1555
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 2: don't want to be the guy that's that's the source

1556
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 2: of all of this negativity around Luca.

1557
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Well that's because Luca went after Tim. Really, right, Yeah,

1558
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I so that's a that's an interesting one

1559
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I mean, you, as a reporter

1560
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,839
Speaker 1: can get all kinds of information, and I think sometimes

1561
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: citing it is the best way to do it, Like

1562
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 1: you almost kind of have to put it on the record.

1563
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: But if you're like if it was me and I

1564
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 1: was in that business, I don't know that I would

1565
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: push that agenda without you know what I'm saying or

1566
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: that without thinking about, okay, this is an agenda, like hey,

1567
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: management says this, or.

1568
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 11: You know, but to continue to just to push push, push,

1569
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 11: push id and see why he would go back on

1570
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 11: that with with the organization. Yeah, you don't want to

1571
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 11: be you don't want to be a mouthpiece for something.

1572
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 11: I mean, you want to give good information, but you

1573
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 11: don't want to be a mouthpiece for somebody.

1574
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 2: Tim said, I said, what are you going to do

1575
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 2: about it? Basically I told him, Hey, man, I'm tired

1576
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 2: of being the bad guy. I'm tired of being the

1577
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 2: one who's always reporting on the conditioning stuff while y'all

1578
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 2: never put your names on it. If you want to

1579
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 2: complain about his conditioning, put your name on it, because

1580
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 2: I'm tired of taking all the heat fair.

1581
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 4: And so he's.

1582
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 2: Saying by saying this, he's saying that Nico Harrison's concerns

1583
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 2: about Luca go back in time beyond that he had

1584
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 2: concerns about Luca's conditioning all along, and again I will

1585
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 2: say about that it's less about the trade itself, and

1586
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 2: that they got over a barrel on the deal. That's

1587
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 2: your fault for letting teams know that you had concerns

1588
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 2: and you were thinking about moving on and then taking

1589
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 2: what you took in return, which has turned out to

1590
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 2: be a bust based on AD's health since he's been there.

1591
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: If you didn't think it was serious when Michael Finley

1592
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: grabbed a beer out of his hand outside of locker

1593
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: room and falling a celebration, I mean, then you know

1594
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You're not paying attention right.

1595
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 2: So that brings me to Brandon Bean, who blew up

1596
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 2: yesterday or within the last couple of days in an

1597
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 2: interview with I thought this was a podcast in which

1598
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 2: I was looking for audio of it, but it's not

1599
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 2: a podcast. It was just a print interview where he

1600
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 2: basically said the interview was would go along. He said,

1601
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 2: f the outside, it's about the right selection for this team,

1602
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: and if we win, they'll love it, which basically goes

1603
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 2: back to comments that he made when he drafted Josh

1604
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 2: Allen and said, I make this choice. If I make

1605
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,560
Speaker 2: the wrong choice, then the moving truck is going to

1606
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 2: be outside of my house waiting to pack everything up,

1607
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 2: and I'm going to be gone. And he's right about that,

1608
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 2: and he can ask Nico Harrison about that. But again,

1609
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 2: like I said about the Luca trade, to me, it's

1610
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 2: less about what you did as opposed to how you

1611
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 2: did it. I don't know how Buffalo got better by

1612
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 2: firing Sean McDermott and elevating Joe Brady than they already were.

1613
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 2: You trade Luca and you get all of this great

1614
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 2: stuff in return. Now, in hindsight, they wound up getting

1615
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Cooper Flagg, but that was just a happy accident. They

1616
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 2: didn't know they were going to get Cooper Flag at

1617
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 2: the time, and there was still a chance that they

1618
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't have gotten him. They could have made that stupid

1619
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 2: trade and not gotten the overall number one pick. That's

1620
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,600
Speaker 2: similar to me, like you didn't fire Sean McDermott with

1621
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 2: a mindset of we've got this laid out and this

1622
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 2: is where we go from here. It's almost like you

1623
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 2: fired him in the heat of the moment, and then

1624
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 2: you wound up without other options, and so you elevated

1625
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 2: your offensive coordinator, which might wind up being a good

1626
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 2: move the same way that the Mavericks wound up getting

1627
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 2: Cooper Flagg, but you don't know that. And so him

1628
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 2: being so upset about people questioning the decision and the

1629
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 2: way it was made. I think it's completely in bounds.

1630
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is that. I think I agree,

1631
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think that's that's fair, totally fair.

1632
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: I'll say, this is it the dude, I mean, it's

1633
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: probably he's in a very similar position to Nico with

1634
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: the bills. Is that he say he's had enough. People

1635
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: are all over him, right, I mean, and what he.

1636
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Said is true, Well, it is true, but I mean

1637
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 2: it's also very very obvious that if you are not

1638
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 2: successful with your job, you're going to wind up out

1639
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 2: of work. Now, you could spin that and say, if

1640
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 2: I didn't make a move and we didn't win a

1641
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 2: super Bowl, we continue to underperform every year, then people

1642
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 2: are going to be calling for my job anyway. So

1643
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 2: at some point I had to make a decision. But

1644
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 2: he didn't say that. He just said, f the outside,

1645
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 2: who are you to question the move that I made?

1646
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 2: Was the implication there.

1647
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it's more I see it more as frustrating

1648
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: than it is really being that much on the surface

1649
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: is that he is a this is a this is

1650
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: a dude that's really been through the been through the ringer.

1651
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it could have been his job. He's certainly

1652
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: got responsibility. I mean, I got a crazy owner that's

1653
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: on one side of this. I got a crazy fan

1654
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: base that's clearly on another side of it that everybody's

1655
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: got an opinion on it, and I'm in the middle.

1656
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 2: So well, and that's probably true, and watch your pop.

1657
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 2: You're certainly right about the crazy owner part of it.

1658
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 2: And statistically, I think they said about ten percent less

1659
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 2: than ten percent of the fan base was happy about

1660
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 2: the move. So he is caught in between the two,

1661
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 2: and there's no question that he's got a crazy owner,

1662
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 2: But to blow up about it the way that he

1663
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 2: did and say F the outside, I mean, I guess

1664
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 2: what he's saying there is, if I've got to choose

1665
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 2: which side I'm going to get hammered by, I'm going

1666
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 2: to take it from the outside because they're not signing

1667
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 2: my checks. But in a roundabout way, both sides are

1668
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 2: contributing to the signing of those checks.

1669
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, you don't appreciate just a good old fashioned

1670
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: meltdown from a guy that's had enough.

1671
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:39,559
Speaker 4: Well, I do.

1672
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 2: But I wanted it to be on tape. I don't

1673
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 2: want to just see it in print. I want to

1674
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 2: hear him blow up. And we didn't get the We

1675
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 2: didn't get the benefit of that.

1676
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,599
Speaker 1: I mean, you put, if you have to use the

1677
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,839
Speaker 1: F word twice in one sentence, you're pretty frustrated.

1678
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 4: That's true. That's a good point, all right.

1679
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: I have done it before. I mean, it's not.

1680
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 2: It's not unprecedented, no for sure, but but yeah, there

1681
01:20:58,200 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 2: is a level of frustration that goes into that.

1682
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: It is that would be using it as an ad

1683
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,759
Speaker 1: adjective and a verb in the same sentence.

1684
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 2: It could be yeah, sometimes it's it's the verb twice.

1685
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: You got a double verb in the in the sentence.

1686
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 4: But yeah, it could be anything else you want to.

1687
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 1: Cover before we get out of here, man, That is

1688
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: a broad question. There are definitely some things that I

1689
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: would like to cover. I really would like to cover.

1690
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: You watching a finale to a series on television at

1691
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: someone else's house and and expecting a silence.

1692
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 4: It was a rookie move on my part.

1693
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean that was that was at the very front

1694
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 2: end of prestige television, and I got looped into it.

1695
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 2: I saw visions of Italian food and watching the Sopranos.

1696
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 2: They didn't think about the reality of trying to pay

1697
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:43,719
Speaker 2: attention to the show.

1698
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 1: I did also learn today that after burning the butts

1699
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: of the Nuggets on Sunday, that Cason Wallace has got

1700
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: butt burning sauce at his caso. So I like it.

1701
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: Fund probably will.

1702
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 2: I mean I will have a special order it too,

1703
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 2: without the guak in the sour cream, but I may

1704
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 2: have to try it.

1705
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 4: It sounds good.

1706
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 2: By the time we talk on Thursday, I've had it.

1707
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be here on Thursday. I gotta make

1708
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 2: my call. Kale is in on Thursday as well this week.

1709
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 2: So I'm making my call today. I'm taking I don't

1710
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 2: like it, but I'm taking the Patriots in the points.

1711
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,719
Speaker 2: I'm not crazy about it because I think the Seahawks

1712
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 2: are the better team, but four and a half points,

1713
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 2: these two teams defensively are both really good, and statistically

1714
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 2: they're both really close to each other. And I do

1715
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 2: think that the only offset is the Seahawks played a

1716
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 2: tougher schedule. But I'm gonna take the Patriots in the

1717
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 2: points in the super Bowl, You're.

1718
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 3: Sam, Let's go Brad, all right, Brad's been hot this year.

1719
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 4: Wonder Twins power activate.

1720
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I still I'm leaning towards you guys

1721
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: side of this.

1722
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 2: Are you gonna wait to talk to Todd before you

1723
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 2: make your final decision?

1724
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: No, I mean I don't think Todd's gonna have a

1725
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: strong opinion on the game. I mean, like, this line

1726
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: is going to be super tight. You know you got

1727
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: so much volume on this or not trying to dummy

1728
01:22:59,240 --> 01:22:59,879
Speaker 1: it up any.

1729
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess they don't have to do that with

1730
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. They're gonna get enough volume. But I

1731
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 2: saw the number was like three billion. I think legally

1732
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 2: wagered on the game.

1733
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: The line is perfectly set where it can move a

1734
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 1: little bit, like it ain't going under three, yeah, and

1735
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: it's not going above six. And so I think that's

1736
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: that was a really like a really good place to

1737
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:23,680
Speaker 1: open it is that they can let the sharps kind

1738
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: of battle it out. If if the sharp's all come

1739
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: in on one side, then I mean then I think

1740
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a bad sign for Vegas.

1741
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: But I don't think they anticipated that.

1742
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 2: I said, I'm on the Patriots. I assume the line

1743
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: is still four and a half as it moved it is. Yeah, yeah,

1744
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 2: so I'm on the Patriots. When you're giving me more

1745
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 2: than a field goal, I.

1746
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Think especially, I think especially more than four. But I

1747
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: mean there's a big difference between three and a half

1748
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: and three and four.

1749
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 3: And right now it's slanted towards the Seahawks, so it

1750
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 3: looks like it could move to five.

1751
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, the game game's probably not gonna I mean it

1752
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: chances aren't lands on six or four. Three, it's not

1753
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna land on five. I mean that would be all

1754
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: if it did an odd number.

1755
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 4: I did see it.

1756
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: I did see some kind of prop but I got

1757
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: a million props that we will discuss at some point

1758
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 1: on the show that there is a line on Super

1759
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: Bowl score Gami. I think it's like eight to one. Nice,

1760
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: all right, there being a scoreless never happened.

1761
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 2: Save that list and we will talk about uh, we'll

1762
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 2: talk about that on the other show on Friday morning.

1763
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 2: As well. As you covered you here. That'll do it

1764
