Earlier today, Nick 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: Sirianni didn't say it's not a distraction. But aj Brown, 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 3: credit to him, met with the media about an hour 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: ago and elaborated on his frustrations. 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 7: I was don't want to win too, you know, And 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 7: I think if we're we're really focusing on winning and 30 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 7: doing our job, like, we can't just keep slapping the 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 7: band aid over the defense doing their job and getting 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 7: us out of trouble. At what point we're gonna pick 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 7: up box slag as an offense that we're saying we're 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 7: so great, you know? 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 4: And that's what I'm getting it. 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 7: It's not about we're not winning or I don't care 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 7: about winning all I care about his steps. 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: No, it's week got the week. 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 7: Sometimes we're not contributing, we're not doing our job on offense. 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 4: So you can't just keep slapping the band aid over there. 41 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 7: And if you strike the win later late in the 42 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 7: year and you think you're gonna go to it at 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 7: the end of the year, it's. 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 4: Not gonna hap. 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 7: It's not gonna happen. You're gonna last year what it was. 46 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 7: Thank you for the ring, But it's a new season. 47 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 7: They adapted. We have to adapt and we have to 48 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 7: continue to like get better and try to find new 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 7: way So that's that's where the frustration comes in. 50 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: Because he's full of crap. 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 8: Aj Brown And if I was the Eagles and I 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 8: can move on from him, I would. He's a distraction, 53 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 8: Sirianni could be as nice as he wants. 54 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 4: Oh, it's not a distraction. 55 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 8: It's about winning. You're winning, and guess what, the same way, 56 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 8: you give credit to the defense and how well they're playing. 57 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 8: Give the Green Bay Packers some credit as well on 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 8: their defense. Maybe they played great and you did just 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 8: enough to win. You ever think about that. You're not 60 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 8: gonna score thirty five points every game. This is about you. 61 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 4: Because there were games. 62 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 8: Where he got numbers and still wasn't happy. He wasn't 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 8: happy the next week, right because he got to be 64 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 8: He had a big week, and the next week he 65 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 8: only got three or four targets or whatever it was, 66 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 8: and he was bellyaching. 67 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: Come on, dude, what are you doing. 68 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 8: You have a chance to do something special. Win another one, 69 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 8: back to back win and move on. Yes, we know 70 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 8: that there's more firepower and more stuff there. When the 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 8: running game got shut down in the Super Bowl, guess 72 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 8: what happened. Jalen Hurts was able to throw the ball 73 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 8: around and they rolled. They steam rolled the Kansas City Chiefs. 74 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 8: It is there. Sometimes you gotta win and move on. 75 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 8: It was a struggle. Those things happen. Kelvin, come on, man, 76 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 8: stop making it where you have to con you coming 77 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 8: off a big winn in Green Bay and you're worried 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 8: about you and your stats. Come on, I can't take it. 79 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 8: I wouldn't want that guy on my team. 80 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: Well, I mean there, honestly, Rob, a lot of people 81 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: echoed the saint sentiments and me and You've been talking 82 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: about it essentially now, not even just this year. We 83 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: talked about it last year. Remember these were conversations they 84 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: were having last year. Then they kind of tried to 85 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: quiet the storm. He and Jayden Hurts had a little 86 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: weird thing going on and they say, no, we're good. 87 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: Jayalen Hurts like, yeah, we're good. You can tell like 88 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: something ain't good. Nick Herrianni had to get in the 89 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: middle of it. Then he busts out the book and 90 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: all that. So we talked about it last year, talked 91 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: about it earlier this year. Then they had a chance 92 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: before the trade deadline. What we're gonna do? People were wondering, 93 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: and they put it out there. We're not trade AJ. 94 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: We're not tradeing AJ. We're not trading AJ. And they 95 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: didn't and here we are. Now here's the thing, Rob's 96 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: I'll tell both of y'all what he just said that 97 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: that last spill. I actually wish that was the first 98 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: thing he said, because to me, that wasn't the weird 99 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: cryptic tweets, the weird cryptic post on Instagram, the weird 100 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: walking out and not doing interviews, the weird book. 101 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 4: I like what he said there because what have we heard? 102 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: Have You've been? Keep paying attention to the. 103 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: NFL last few weeks, a lot of times to Cleveland, 104 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: not the Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals, trying not to 105 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: blame their defense because they're saying we're a team, we're 106 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: a unit. 107 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 4: You know. 108 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: Yes, the offense is rolling right now, the defense there 109 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: are times where one side of the ball's gonna be 110 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: playing a better than others. And I like him saying, 111 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: we want to help out, we want to compete the 112 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. 113 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: Right. 114 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: Offense easy, twenty thirty forty points easily. Defense wasn't great 115 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: in early. 116 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 8: But the only problem with that, and I get it, 117 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 8: but it's only when he doesn't have numbers that so 118 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 8: it's not it's about I'm not getting any numb So 119 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 8: where I'm going. 120 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: With this though, is if he said that initially, right, 121 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: if someone said, hey, offense hasn't been going only this 122 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: amount of points, dismounty points, what's going on? And he 123 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: said that, I would have been all right, Yo, we 124 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: gotta get this thing rolling. You know, our defense we've 125 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: been lying on it is not fair to that unit 126 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I would be all right with that. 127 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: It's that it's combined with that cryptic tweets weird message here, 128 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: not speaking there, point fingers there, and it just continues 129 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: to be exhausting. And my thing is this, rob what 130 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: if they lose him when they need him most? And 131 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: I was talking to Rob gi or it's not about 132 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: a reception per se. What if they lose him right 133 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: when they needed him to do it? Sometimes, if you 134 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: know the game, I need you to run full steam 135 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: so that the defense thinks you actually running a route 136 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: as we're about to give this ball to Saquon. 137 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 4: What if he have you know, what's it? 138 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: What if we're running with Saquon here, We're gonna do 139 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback sneak and he doesn't block, you know what 140 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, those things that are not necessarily on the 141 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: stat sheet, and you lose him in the regard of 142 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: those types of things. That's detrimental to the team. We 143 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: needed you to run a round, we needed you to block, 144 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: we need you to run a pick route, all those 145 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: kind of things. We need you to be locked in 146 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: the film room and you're checked out and you're talking 147 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: smack on the middle of twitch and streams. So I 148 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: think that's what makes it disappointing is because now we 149 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: keep saying, Sirianni Jalen hurts, DeVante Smith, all these guys 150 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: gotta answer questions and they are trying to figure out 151 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: the offense, and the last thing we need to do 152 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: is keep having to answer questions as well. So I 153 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: just think they missed an opportunity to maybe sell high 154 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: while we all know he's still talented and see what 155 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: they can get do They have an offensive struggles, absolutely, 156 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: but this can't be the way to go about it 157 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: where routinely you're gonna have to justify your team to 158 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: the media every single week. Every single week has to 159 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: be exhaustive for the team.

Let me tell you what we wasn't 180 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 4: waiting for. 181 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: So what they're gonna do again Us versus the World 182 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 3: new format, which will feature three eight man rosters, two 183 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: of which will be only American players. The third will 184 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: be international players, and they're gonna change the way players 185 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: are selected. It's because only three teams are gonna be 186 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: like a weird round robin type of scenario. But long 187 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: story short, USA versus the World, three eight man teams, 188 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 3: new all star format. 189 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: All right, the long awaited is the long Let me 190 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: tell you how wrong they are. What nobody waiting on this. 191 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: Nobody had time for this, nobody asked for this, And 192 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: I think they're miscalculating the conversations that we've had on 193 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: this show. Other people are having on all their sports shows. 194 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: All we want is for the players to compete. That's it. 195 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: All we want East versus West. I'm not crazy in this. 196 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: This is what most people want. This is the format 197 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: we wanted. We didn't ask for the change back. 198 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 4: In the day. 199 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: Just compete, Just play hard, just make it matter. Nobody's 200 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: acting like it's Game seven of the NBA Finals. Nobody's 201 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: acting like it matters. In that same regard, however, you 202 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: do have fans that ultimately watch that gets you the 203 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: TV contracts. That's billions of dollars, that pays you millions 204 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: of dollars. So we're asking just for one night, not 205 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: even forty eight minutes for twenty four to forty eight minutes? 206 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 4: Can you compete? Can you care? Can you turn it 207 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 4: up a notch? 208 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: And the idea that now they gotta go to this 209 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: four men and an eight man team and the eight 210 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: man and that eight man team is gonna play that 211 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: eight man team. There's only two ways this could work 212 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: East first West lock in play. Or if because the 213 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: conversation now that we do have is of the World Games, right, 214 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: because last six to seven MVPs have been from other 215 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: countries outside of the UNITEDS, then maybe I could see 216 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: World versus the twelve man World, twelve man the United States. 217 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: Let's compete, let's ball. 218 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Those were the only two options that I think people 219 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: will say, all right, I'll look into that this ape 220 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: man here, eight man there that plays that ape man 221 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: the world, this in America, that they're doing too much. 222 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 4: Simply have the guys compete. 223 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: And then I heard somebody talking about earlier say yeah, 224 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, sweeten up. I didn't have to 225 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: sweeten up the pot back in the day, in the 226 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties and nineties and early two thousands, they 227 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: just competed and wanted to win because Hey, I know 228 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: people pay their tickets, people come see us now to 229 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: mention it. I just want to show y'all, I'm that guy, 230 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: me and this you know this West Coast, we the guys. 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: What'stern conference or no Eastern, We're the conference. Just compete. 232 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: And last point to me is also the only hope 233 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: that I reserve is I think some of the young 234 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: stars winby being the top of the class now, will 235 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: actually want to compete, will want to play hard. Don't 236 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: We'll feel actually awkward not competing. We'll feel awkward being 237 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: out there just collecting a check or just being out 238 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: there for show yawning. And I think there's a handful 239 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: of young stars him being the leader of it cade. 240 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: I think Aunt has learned now and some of these 241 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: younger players who are gonna compete and make us go 242 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: are There's hope mixed in with obviously some of the 243 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: older events, and that gives me hope. But again the 244 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: NBA keeps reaching with simply there's very few things in life, 245 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: rob where the answer sitting right in your face, and 246 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: this is one of those, and they keep ignoring it 247 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: and looking elsewhere. 248 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 8: I think the problem with your thought process is that 249 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 8: ship sailed. There's just no way you could wheel it back. 250 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 8: They're not gonna play hard. 251 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: They're not. I don't agree they're not. I could be 252 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 4: naive and I will own that. Okay, I don't agree. 253 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 8: I just you going in. They sent in Doctor J 254 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 8: and Larry Bird. That was before that they got to 255 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 8: the game where it went over to two hundred points. 256 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: That was that game. 257 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 8: They went in before and talked about playing with pride, 258 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 8: giving people a good show. Remember that, they said, Doctor 259 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 8: J and Larry Bird in so we have a Kobe video. Okay, God, 260 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 8: bless the dead. Did Kobe make a video before you? 261 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 8: We need something like that, Doctor jenm. Kids don't know 262 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 8: Doctor J unfortunately. But but my point is it didn't help. 263 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 8: They still went out, they refused to play. They're not 264 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 8: going to You saw it was there no fouls called 265 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 8: in the All Star game. I mean because they were 266 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 8: there was no There was like no fouls like, no 267 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 8: one is going to defend. No one wants to defend, 268 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 8: No one wants to be out there, no one wants 269 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 8: to play. I'm telling you, Adam Silver, you should have 270 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 8: canceled the game. You should have canceled the game. It'll 271 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 8: be another embarrassing night for the NBA. We saw before 272 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 8: the terrible ratings. The games have been an embarrassment. Nobody 273 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 8: wants to watch two hundred and ten over the to 274 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 8: ten the two old times exactly like. Nobody wants to 275 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 8: see those games. And that's the problem. That's the problem. 276 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 8: It's terrible, it's a bore. It's awful sometimes, Like even 277 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 8: the NFL give them credit, right, Oh, put the Pro 278 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 8: Bowl on.

Is this 307 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 4: what I said? 308 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: The NBA All Star Game became terrible once Lebron was 309 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: the unquestioned leader of the league. And when he decided 310 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: I ain't playing hard, everybody else said they ain't playing hard, 311 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: just like in the bubble when they all wanted to 312 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: go home and Lebron's like, nah. 313 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 4: We're playing. Everybody played. 314 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: So now that he's phasing out, we got the next 315 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: wave of stars, whether it's an Man or wen Beard. 316 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: Not John Moran obviously, but you know. 317 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: SGA and they decide they're gonna play hard, you're gonna 318 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: see that flip a game real quick. 319 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 4: I just I feel like you just want to get 320 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: a shot at Lebron on that. Hey, that's a good shot. Thought, 321 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 4: that's a good shout, I said me saying it. 322 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: I feel like nineteen to twenty of his twenty four years, 323 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: we ain't had to worry about Lebron's go compete all that. Baby, 324 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what he doing now. Remember when was 325 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: the last year he just I might playing, might player, 326 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: might player my play?

In his explanation, 408 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 3: he mentions, of course, the playoff history, which is fair, 409 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 3: but he adds this statement the Baltimore Raven star has 410 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 3: been a four time Pro bowler, a three time All 411 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 3: Pro for his inflated regular season marks, but his two 412 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 3: time MVP status is borderline fraudulent. His credentials simply don't 413 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 3: measure up to the other legends who have won the 414 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 3: award on numerous occasions. 415 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: You know what makes me mad about this, and we 416 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: debated this that we're talking about it because. 417 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 4: You know what it's like. 418 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: It's like when you go on Instagram or Twitter or whatever, 419 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: your side of choice, app of choice, and then they'll 420 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: say something crazy like Michael Jackson was overrated, right right right, 421 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: and you're like, because it makes you men want to 422 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: defend Michael Jackson, er Michael Jordan. I ain't saying he 423 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: was a plumber, but he was mean or something like that. 424 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: It makes you want to jump in and defend the 425 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: person and rage bait and get you going. So I'm 426 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: not going to really go that because we know this 427 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: is asinine. Outrages Lamar Jackson is incredible. You and I 428 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: sit up here and talk about the stats. Some of 429 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: the best QBR not this season, not lasted like ever. 430 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 4: Some of the. 431 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 8: Best is winning percentage, Okay, is seven thirty seven. 432 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 4: That's not a fake stat. 433 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: That's not if he hasn't played two years where it's like, 434 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: all right, only mad it come this, like, bro, seven 435 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: years ish, that's a whole lot of winning. 436 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 4: And there's a reason. 437 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: Why we're mad at his stats in the playoffs because 438 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: he's that great that we're like we will you know, 439 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: you expecting the way more. 440 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 8: But also, and you can be mad at or whatever, 441 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 8: it's not a postseason award. 442 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 4: It's a regular season award, regular season MVP, that's what 443 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: it is. 444 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 8: You could be mad that he hadn't won a super 445 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 8: Bowl yet, or he hadn't performed at that kind of 446 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,479 Speaker 8: level yet, or whatever. 447 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 4: I say it all the time. 448 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 8: John Elway didn't win until his last two years in 449 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 8: the NFL, though he won his two Super Bowls at 450 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 8: the very end. I'm not saying that'scal be the case here. 451 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 8: I'm just saying that's not the reason that you can 452 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 8: discount though, because what we have said about Johnnway, he 453 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 8: went to Super Bowls and lost. 454 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: He's the loser, could win the big one had he 455 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: not won, had he not won those two at. 456 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 8: The end, and on the flip side, we have people 457 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 8: who will will uh praise Damn marinal till the sun 458 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 8: comes home. And he went to Super Bowl second year, 459 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 8: never went back again. You know Rob Woodson who he 460 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 8: used to be on the show. Yeah, what says he's 461 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 8: the greatest and he never won anything. And as that's 462 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 8: not a crazy thought. I mean, you're throwing the football. 463 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 8: A lot of people feel he's up there, but but 464 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 8: it's different criteria for different people. The reason people get 465 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 8: on Aaron Rodgers because he only won one because of 466 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 8: the time. But Damn Marino didn't win any you see 467 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 8: what I'm saying. And they can say, oh, well he's 468 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 8: the greatest. And then you look at Tom Brady. Ye, 469 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 8: tom Brady might be the most accomplished. But if you 470 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 8: talk to most football players and talk about skill, arm strength, accuracy, 471 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 8: tom Brady doesn't ranking those. That's why he didn't he does. 472 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 8: He have three rob g three MVPs. You would think 473 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 8: he'd have nine or ten, but he doesn't. Same thing, 474 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 8: is it two or three? 475 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 4: Well, look it might be. 476 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: It might be three, but I'm to your point, playing 477 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: twenty years, it might be, I think, but to playing 478 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: that many years, Yeah, he played this three yeah, three 479 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: MVPs in twenty twenty four years. How many years did 480 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: he play with seven Super Bowls titles? It's crazy. But 481 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: here's the thing. So, so with that being said, I 482 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: think what makes it more interesting is that this is 483 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: something that like where we've become as a society where 484 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: once reputable publications, but most. 485 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 4: Reputable ones are not on this. Here's what's back, Well, 486 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 4: go ahead. 487 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: There's a news outlet out here in LA that has 488 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: been known what's the name of it. I'll say it 489 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: ABC seven specifically. They're there their social stuff.

You get a lot of 506 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: that because them clicks go crazy, the comments go crazy, 507 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: the engagement go crazy, as opposed to saying here in La, 508 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: you know a fireman put out the fuck oh whatever, 509 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: like but if they go find some crazy wild story 510 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: in Florida, some crazy wild story in Alabama, that's just 511 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: where can I give you? 512 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 8: Like like whoever the editor was who read this piece 513 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 8: or whatever could have said something like well. Across the 514 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 8: first one hundred starts of his career, Lamar Jackson has 515 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 8: led the highest scoring offense ever two eight hundred eighty 516 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 8: three points and owns the third most wins seventy three. 517 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 8: Like none of it. As I say to my students 518 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 8: all the time and talking about this, anybody can have 519 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 8: an opinion, but based on what you have, it has 520 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 8: to be based on something in order for you to 521 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 8: make that case. And it just there's no case for 522 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 8: there's no overrated who would and then he has other 523 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 8: like it just doesn't even make any sense. 524 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: And that's what I mean, Rob, what I'm saying blown 525 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: away that that would even make a game. But we're 526 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: in the era where people feel pressure to have engagement. Right, 527 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: you can't just stand on quality. I can't just stand 528 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: on equality if people aren't engaged to saying, well, dangan, 529 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: it was quality. 530 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, well you are making it up. 531 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, you only got twenty thousand impressions this thing 532 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: over here from some random blogger.

I'm not trying to be negative. 538 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: But there are certain topics that people think, well, Rob 539 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: is just saying something crazy. Rob's trying to get engagement whatever. 540 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 4: Right, But what. 541 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 3: Rob Parker does have and we talk on there off 542 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: there about this A thousand years of experience at some 543 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 3: of the biggest publications across the country, television, radio, print, everything, 544 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: his name is in big Marquee letters.

The person who wrote this in Bleacher Report 547 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: does not even have a Twitter account. The person who 548 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: wrote this in Bleacher is a free lancer who has 549 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 3: a half done LinkedIn page and a muck rack account. 550 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 3: I mean, does Bleacher Report the fact that they did 551 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 3: not have whoever your favorite column and whatever Jeremy ESPN 552 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: Right if Jeremy Fowler says this, even if you've disagree 553 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: with the take, there's some credibility because like, hey, he's 554 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: covered the NFL for a long time. I disagree with 555 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 3: but something that he's saying that I can latch onto. 556 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 8: But in the case of that, he would even his 557 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 8: editor would make to say, what's to say? You gotta 558 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 8: give me you know what I mean, It ain't It 559 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 8: ain't enough just to say that. 560 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: You'd have to really make a case like it's almost 561 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: court your honor. I believe this because this is the boom. 562 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: The evidence shows Da da Dad Now and again we 563 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: all to your point. You're you can fudge numbers, right, 564 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: because you could I'm making it up. You could find 565 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: some number that Lamar Jackson and crunch time, third, fourth, 566 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: third and fourth quarters is only da da da da da. Okay, 567 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: at least you found something that we can now have 568 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: a debate over right. You found some numbers that I 569 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: can say, all right, But but to just be like 570 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: he's overrated to not a single human being thinks that, 571 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: especially when we're talking just strictly about the accomplishments of 572 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: the whole career and the conversations with just pis of fraud. 573 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 4: It's just postseason, all right. 574 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you can disagree with an agree, but the idea 575 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: that his career that's far. He's had an incredible career. 576 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: It's actually laughable how good he has been. Like you 577 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: and I sit up here and talking about it doesn't 578 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: even look real. It's like a video game. He'll have 579 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: like two hundred and sixty yards passing, three touchdowns, rushing 580 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: touchdown and eighty nine yards passes. You say it all 581 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 1: the time. It makes it look easy. It looks like 582 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. 583 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 8: Like he's like like he's like he's playing ball in 584 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 8: the backyard. 585 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: It just looks so easy for him, and that guy 586 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: cannot be completed. 587 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 4: Overrated that is that that doesn't make any sense.
