Speaker 2: you ever wiped with a piece of dry toilet paper

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: and wondered is this as good as it gets? It's

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: not switched to life changing Wet extra large flushable Dude

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,479

Speaker 2: at major retailers nationwide. Dude Wipes best clean pants down. Okay,

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: that last part gets me. I guess like hands down.

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: They're saying, like, without a doubt, the best, gotcha. So

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: coming up on today's show today for some tonight for others,

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: we will get into at the end of this hour

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: something that's already upset Bree Breath.

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Don't give in.

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: Well, she's upset because she's not doing geek news tonight.

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: That would be me. That is my cross to bear.

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: I will be doing the geek news here. But she

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: still has stranger than fiction and a story that's supposed

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: to be really good. I have no idea what that's

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: going to be. In the very next segment, though, I

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: got something for you on Steph Curry and the Golden

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: State Warriors and them being withholding with their superstar and

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: with tonight's news with Giannis and Dennakoopo being out the

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: next four to six weeks most likely because I think

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: he self diagnosed his calf injury, like he went on

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: web MD or something like that. Could he be headed

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: to Golden State or should Golden State give up Steph Curry?

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: Next hour, Sam Donald, the Super Bowl goes through Sam Donald,

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: I will explain and Carrie Rhodes will help me. Our

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: favorite here on Fox Sports Radio. Carry Rhodes, former dB

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: defensive back, free safety New York Jets. Maybe you knew

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: him there, went to the AFC Championship in two thousand

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: and nine, and then of course the Arizona Cardinals after that.

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: Then a little bit of geek news. Last hour, we'll

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: talk Lebron, will preview the af SEE Championship a little bit,

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: and we'll have Breeze three. But let's start things off

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: with first off, because it's still FNA just double A,

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: I guess.

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 3: There's go time that's wrong.

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: I know another Josh Allen take after five days of them. Well,

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard this one yet. I

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: was wrong about Josh Allen completely.

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: Am I wrong?

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Not in that sense where because I bet on the

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: Bills or said they were going to win and thought

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: he was better than this, but he wasn't. Where someone

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: admits they were wrong really only because it gives them

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: that chance to tear down the player that made their

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: prediction look stupid and wrong. Where you twist yourself into

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: assaulted pretzel with your argument while showing how salty you

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: are because you ended up being wrong about a game

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: or a player you thought should have played better. The

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: prediction was right, the outcome was wrong, the old Steve

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: Hartman defense. I wasn't wrong, The game just shouldn't have

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: played out like that for reasons and things.

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: Am I wrong?

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 5: Now?

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that here. That's not where I'm going

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: with this. What I'm gonna say that hasn't been said

63
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: yet is I was wrong about Josh Allen because he's

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: much better than I ever thought he'd be on and

65
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: off the field. See Kevin and I we've been doing

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 2: f and a for a while here if he didn't

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: know f.

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 6: And a long long time ago before we were a show,

69
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 6: thank you, Scott Shapiro, we were a podcast, and that

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 6: gave us plenty of opportunities to do the NFL six

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 6: pack and in the six pack for years, I was

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 6: killing Josh Allen ever since he came out of Wyoming.

73
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: First, I said, look at his completion percentage. This is

74
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: just fifty six percent in the Mountain West Conference. Come on,

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: He's got a much bigger mountain to climb in the NFL,

76
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: that's for sure. And then I took a bunch of

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: regrettable personal attacks on him just because I thought he

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: had the face of a frat boy. This was long

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: before he grew up that nicely shaped beard he has

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: now clean shaven. Josh Allen looked like a douchey s

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: I kick character of some National Lampoons raunch calm when

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: I saw one of those uh knocks on him coming

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: out of college was holding onto the ball too long? Well,

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, it's the same d bag that would

85
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: accidentally super glue his hand to his balls. Because he's

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: basically straight out of an American pie movie. Here, Not

87
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: even the good ones though that made it the theaters.

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: He had the look of a b lister and like

89
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: those spin off American Pie movies, the American Pie Presents movies.

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: I know, bere you've seen him where he's playing Stiffler's

91
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: like Little Brother or whatever. I too suffer from hate

92
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: the face syndrome. Don't give well. If a guy looks

93
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: a certain way, I hate him. And after he lost

94
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: to the Texans and that collapsed in his first playoff game,

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: I said that he looked like a deer in the

96
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: headlights or a douche in the headlights, and not the

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: kind of headlights he'd like to be staring at. I

98
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: was going with that stereotype of him for a while,

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: but instead he's making me look like a d bag here.

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: Imagine judging someone by their looks while you're working in

101
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: radio sports talk radio. Now, I wasn't serious about my criticism.

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: How could I be? I don't know. Josh Allen passed

103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: what I see on Sundays. It was jokes over facts

104
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: and me branding him as an eighties looking bully giving

105
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: everyone wet Willi's in the locker room. But that was

106
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: just to produce content. Shame on me. Character is destiny, though,

107
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: and I feel like, aside from the fact Josh Allen

108
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: has proven me wrong with how much better of a

109
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: football player he's turned into than I ever expected him

110
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: to be, He's also proved me wrong with the type

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: of man he is, which is really the opposite of

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: any of my sophomoric jokes here. I'm not saying if

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: you're a Bills fan or a Josh Allen hater, this

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: audio redeems himself that we're gonna play. Here redeems him

115
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: of those four turnovers he had in Denver. But this

116
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: is exactly what I would want to hear if my

117
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: quarterback was making mistakes like he did on Sunday.

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: It's extremely difficult.

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 7: I feel like I yeah, I feel like I let

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 7: my let my teammates down tonight.

121
00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: It's a long season.

122
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: I hate how it ended, and that's uh, that's gonna

123
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: stick with me for a long time. Now. Do the

124
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: tears make up for the mistakes? Hell no, I've made

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: a huge mistake. He lost them the game, But it's

126
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: complicated because they also aren't in the game without his

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: superhuman play. I've heard and I've had a very hard

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: time criticizing this guy that is simultaneously the reason why

129
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: they're in the game and also the reason why they

130
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: lost it. It'd be easier if he was just consistently

131
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: bad and didn't almost make up for every bad play

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: with a spectacular one. Then only he could make sure

133
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: the turnover before the first half was pretty inexcusable. But

134
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: he also led a drive to put them up by

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: one to start the fourth quarter, and then a drive

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: to put them up by four with four to eleven

137
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: left in the ball game, just for his defense to

138
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: give up a touchdown, and while you're criticizing him for

139
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: missing Dawson Knox on that throw, and he did and

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: it would have been a touchdown to win it. Yes,

141
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: he also, though, was the reason you got the field

142
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: goal to tie it to go into overtime with only

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: fifty five seconds left to manufacture that drive. He also

144
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: put the ball in Brandon Cook's hands and he had

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: both hands on the ball with a knee down while

146
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: being touched by a defender where I'm still not sure

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: how he wasn't down. That iront is not on Josh Allen.

148
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: It's a fluke play and the wrong interpretation of the

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: rule or just a bad rule so I get it. Yes,

150
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: he has to play a much more clean football game,

151
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: and if he only has two turnovers and they aren't

152
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: as bad as they looked out there, they likely win.

153
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: They also could have won a million other ways because

154
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: of just how talented he is. Look At how Josh

155
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Allen created a touchdown with two twenty two left in

156
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: the second quarter that everybody's gonna forget about, but I won't.

157
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: It was dropped by the unsure hands of Keon Coleman.

158
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: There's about three quarterbacks in NFL history maybe that could

159
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: make that scramble and that throw if you watch it again.

160
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: And this is my point with Josh. As much as

161
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: it's easy to lay this loss at the feet of

162
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: him because of the errors, they also have no chance

163
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: without him. He is the reason they make the playoffs.

164
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: This Bills team wasn't that talented. This was the worst

165
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: roster they've had next to him, especially at the skilled positions.

166
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: Who was his best receiver. I believe they were asking

167
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: way too much of Josh Allen and eventually a game

168
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: like this was going to happen where he's trying to

169
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: do too much, which leads to mistakes because he's asked

170
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: to do too much. No one wins in the game

171
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: of football on their own. Did you see Mahomes when

172
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: he didn't have blocking or the requisite weapons against the

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Eagles last year in the Super Bowl, or against the

174
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: Bucks a few years before that, or just against anyone

175
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: this year. People didn't say Mahomes choked when he made mistakes.

176
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: They blamed his supporting cast, Josh Allen. He was set

177
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: up in the same way to fail this season as Mahomes.

178
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: He was just better and got more out of his

179
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: offense and willed them to more wins than they should

180
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: have had. This Bills team with an average quarterback, he's

181
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: probably getting five or six games this year, five or

182
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: six wins. Even James Cook is running back, He's good.

183
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 2: He also completely benefits from the misdirection in that defense

184
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: of having to account for Josh Allen's lakes. The defense

185
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: is always worried about Allen. It all starts with Josh

186
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: Allen on offense. And meanwhile, we aren't even talking about

187
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: how average the Bills defense was, which is probably the

188
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: biggest reason Sean McDermott got fired. That is his department.

189
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: You're out. So who was doing more with less this

190
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: season than Josh Allen, not just in football, in sports,

191
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: but then when he fails by overextending himself because it's

192
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: the only way they win, we criticize him and say

193
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: he can't get it done. Josh Allen, He's not the problem, guys,

194
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: He's part of the solution. Sure, even last year I

195
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: thought he left some throws on the table in the

196
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: AFC Championship game against Kansas City, and of course he

197
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: needed play much better this season. Four turnovers is disgusting.

198
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: One of the picks was a defender ripping the ball

199
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: away from his receiver in ot But some guys are

200
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: tough luck warriors. They just don't have enough good fortune

201
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: to cross the finish line. But they did their part.

202
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: They held up their end of the bargain. Normalize this

203
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: being okay in sports again because Jim Kelly is still revered.

204
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you can't blame Josh Allen for the loss,

205
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: just maybe also blame him for them having a chance

206
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: at all to win that game to begin with. If

207
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: it's not him who no one is carrying a team

208
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: by themselves to the Super Bowl. The Bills were basically

209
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: asking for the impossible out of Josh Allen, a game

210
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: like this was gonna happen somewhere along the way. You

211
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: make a guy think it's all on his shoulders. To

212
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: this degree, he's gonna take more risks, which leaves him

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: open to more mistakes.

214
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: Mistake.

215
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: You want a free swinger who gets strikeouts. Almost two

216
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: things go together. You're a free swinger, sometimes you get strikeouts.

217
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: You're overly reliant on the off the script plays. You're

218
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: gonna have turnovers. Mahomes did the same stuff when it

219
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: was him against all odds being the one man show.

220
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: I know he has rings. Josh Allen doesn't Those rings

221
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: cover for a lot and should. Josh Allen is not Mahomes.

222
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: He's closer to somebody like h Lamar Jackson, whose fan

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: base was having a field day hate watching Josh Allen

224
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: as he failed out there don't could be because Josh

225
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: Allen beat the Ravens twice in the playoffs. Could be

226
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: because they think he escapes criticism more than Lamar Jackson does.

227
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: Am I contributing to that? Maybe? Well, I know this.

228
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: Allen has also been much better in the playoffs overall

229
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: than Lamar, even with the four turnover game. Either way,

230
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 2: Allen and Lamar Jackson are both playing for second place

231
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: behind Mahomes as those guys who are trying to take

232
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: his place at the top of the mountain. Ravens fans,

233
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: you kind of look like losers tearing down Josh Allen

234
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: for coming up short again while they're a guy didn't

235
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: even make the playoffs. You could say both fan bases

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: were waiting for Mahomes and his downfall. They got it,

237
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: their teams, their quarterbacks. They didn't take advantage of it

238
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: this year. Misery loves company, though, and once Tyler Loop

239
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: looped that kick, Ravens fans shifted their focus to make

240
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: sure Josh Allen couldn't have the glory either. The Ravens

241
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: fans and Lamar Jackson disciples and apologists looked like a

242
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: bunch of bad faith haters that were just waiting to

243
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: pounce and say, is this your king? Is that your king?

244
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: As soon as Josh Allen lost, he and Lamar two

245
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: cheeks of the same ass. Though right now both are

246
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: not good enough. Both didn't help save their coaches from

247
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: being fired. Both have the weight of the world on

248
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: their shoulders for being under center for one of the

249
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: most curse franchises in all sports. Oh wait, no, that's

250
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: just Josh Allen. He's the one being treated like job

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: and the Bible. Obviously, his family has not been taken away.

252
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: He's doing just fine with Hailey Steinfeld. But nobody's been

253
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: through more sports hell than the Bills and their fans,

254
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: and nobody has more pressure to perform and be the

255
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: one that delivers them from evil than Josh Allen. Currently,

256
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: the burden was too much for Jim Kelly. Now it's

257
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's cross to bear. They say God will not

258
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: give you more than you can handle, but I think

259
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: a few Bills fans and players might disagree with that.

260
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: Uh So, pardon me if I feel a little bit

261
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: of sympathy for Buffalo during this trying time right now.

262
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like an annual period of mourning

263
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: for them with each Bill's collapse yearly here but any

264
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: natty cag it, I get it. It's tough. But if

265
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl win is the only way for validation,

266
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: well only team wins every year anyways, So there's plenty

267
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: of other fan bases that are right there with you, Buffalo.

268
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: We are all Bills fans. Sometimes we've all felt as

269
00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: hopeless damned, so I can have sympathy for another meltdown

270
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: with them. And the truth is, well, it's out there.

271
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: The Bill's not winning again is also a proof of

272
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: life that the Cigarette Smoking Man, Cancer Man is still alive.

273
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: Mark hit Me. I'm working on next month's Oscar nominations.

274
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: Any preference, I couldn't care less.

275
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: What I don't want to see is the Bill's winning

276
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Ah, as long as I'm alive, that

277
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: doesn't happen.

278
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: It could be tough, sir, Buffalo wants.

279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: It bad, so did the Soviets.

280
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Maybe what are you're saying you rigged the Olympic hockey game?

281
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: What's the matter? Don't you believe in miracles?

282
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that's still probably my favorite show ever. And

283
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: the Cancer Man, Cigarette Smoking Man and the illuminati that

284
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: was orchestrating everything behind the scenes apparently not a Bills fan.

285
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: So they lost again. I guess he's still alive somewhere,

286
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: even though I thought he died before they restarted. And yeah,

287
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: it gets really confusing at the end. They're trying, they're

288
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: trying to bring it back probably one more time. I'm

289
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: all for it. Come on, David Duchovny, you're still looking

290
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: pretty good out there. Ain't the Red Shoe Diaries anymore, though.

00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Just let him go.

294
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: Give him back to the rest of the fans because

295
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: he ain't winning a championship anymore. Up north at Golden

Speaker 2: on strangerin Fiction. She did it once before, and uh,

322
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: I've been a huge mistake twice before. Oh my god,

323
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: I've been a huge mistake. She's not happy.

324
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 9: It's so funny, okay.

325
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: Anyways, she's definitely not happy now. Well you got me

326
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: with that laugh last week, and I just thought it

327
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: was so good for I had to put it into

328
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: the machine here.

329
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 9: It's so funny, okay anyways, and.

330
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: It kind of works for what I'm saying right now.

331
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: Mark loves it. Let's go, I'm out of Oslin and

332
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: get to me. I follow Adam a on x UH.

333
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: Coming up also, Kerry Rhodes, close personal friend colleague here

334
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio, NFL defensive back. I want to

335
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: get his thoughts on the championship games coming up, and

336
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: I'll give you mine a little bit later. But I

337
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: do love the National Basketball Association. If he didn't know,

338
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: and yeah, there's some ligaments and some tendons and some

339
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: muscles on fire right now. And it ain't because the

340
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: icy hot. Unfortunately, we've had more injuries than ever as

341
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: they continue to pile up tonight. Jannissnakoupo out for four

342
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: to six weeks, says says he, oh no, really, he said,

343
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: I think he self diagnosed himself because okay, that's redundant.

344
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: He's been through this before, this same injury. He knows

345
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: his body. They know their bodies better than anyone else.

346
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: It did look kind of painful out there. He was

347
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: playing through it for a while. Right calf injury. And

348
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: you can't mess around with that because first the calf

349
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: and then it's the achilles. You called me, mister Glass.

350
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: We saw that with Kevin Durant in the finals in

351
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. But we had a torn acl a little

352
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: bit earlier this week. It's an absurd amount of injuries

353
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: going on. Jimmy Butler tore his right acl with the

354
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors found that out Monday or Tuesday. Jimmy

355
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 2: Butler was their last hope to keep the door open

356
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: in this fading dynasty. That's happening up in northern California

357
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. Well, I thought the chances were pretty

358
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: slim already for them to win this season. I mean not.

359
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 5: Even remotely imaginable.

360
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: I felt like they needed to bring in one more

361
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: guy to pair with Jimmy, with Steph, with Draymond, with

362
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: some of the young guys they have there now, Buddy

363
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: Heels there. Still none of the young guys have exactly

364
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: worked out this two timelines. Light Year's plan they had

365
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 2: with Joe Lacob hasn't worked out. They did win in

366
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. That wasn't that long ago. It really

367
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: wasn't less than four years ago. I know you're probably saying, no,

368
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: the math is four years. No, it's not because they

369
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: won in June. All right, Oh you can count. Good

370
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: for you, So it's less than four years. The point is,

371
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: if they already needed another player to bring to Golden State,

372
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: and there were all these rumors out there for a while,

373
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: they gonna go get somebody is cominga can be traded.

374
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: Oh wait, he's hurt now too. Unfortunately, I mean, it's

375
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: unbelievable what's happening. At some point, I think Golden State

376
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: and Steph Curry have to accept the fact they're not

377
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: winning again in this era of Golden State Warriors basketball.

378
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: I know he's their favorite son up in San Francisco.

379
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: He's their MJ, he's their Lebron, he's their goat. Rick

380
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: Berry never got this much love. Maybe it's a reason

381
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: for that, but he never touched the highs that Steph

382
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Curry gave them over the last ten years. Steph is

383
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: much bigger than just Golden State and the Warriors though,

384
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: And I've been saying since twenty twenty two when he

385
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: won that second championship, a more legitimate one without Kevin

386
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: Durant the first one, Kyrie's out, Kevin loves out. What

387
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: are we doing here? That finals in twenty fifteen against Cleveland,

388
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: and they still took him to six somehow, and he

389
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: didn't even win finals MVP this time. He did against

390
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: Boston in twenty twenty two, and I announced Steph Curry

391
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: is a top five player of all time. If you

392
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: are the greatest shooter in the game of basketball, and

393
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: it's not close a game that involves putting the ball

394
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: in the hoop. And I know defense and all these

395
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: things too, but this is not all skills are created equal.

396
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: Nobody has been close to replicating what Steph has been

397
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: able to do and is continuing to do now at

398
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 2: the age of thirty seven. I believe is that right

399
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: thirty six, thirty seven getting close at thirty eight. We

400
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: thought when Trey Young came in and Buddy Healed, who's

401
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: now a teammate of Steph's, that they would be Steph disciples,

402
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: that they would keep it going. That Steph was just

403
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: the start of this movement of guys taking thirty five

404
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: footers and making them all the time. There have been

405
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 2: a few guys who can do it here and there.

406
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard did, fortunately he's still out from the Achilles injury.

407
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 2: But Trey Young looks like he's on the down side

408
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: of his career and he's still twenty seven years of age.

409
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Buddy Healed never panned out that way. Steph Curry is

410
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: a one of one. He's a unicorn. We're never gonna

411
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 2: get anything like this again. I know kids growing up

412
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: are shooting more and more. There's still may never be

413
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: a player like Steph Curry. Remember his dad, Del Curry

414
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: just got honored. Jersey retired by the Charlotte Hornets. I

415
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: want to see Steph compete for ranks we all do.

416
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: I know Golden State Warriors fans do. The problem is

417
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen anymore. In their uniform. He's still

418
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: good enough to win them. He's still great. He's still

419
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: averaging an efficient twenty seven points per game. If you

420
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: go off thirty six minutes, it's thirty one per game.

421
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: That's basically what he's doing in his prime. He's supposedly

422
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: out of it, but he's also I think, a starter

423
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game and still looks like a

424
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: top ten player in the league. He's still great. Lebron's

425
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: still very good. KD. Harden. These older guys aren't aging

426
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: the same way our heroes did growing up with Magic Bird, MJ. Barkley,

427
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: Ewing Malone. These guys, even with the injuries Golden State,

428
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: though they've had their chance to extend this run with Steph.

429
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: We've given them time to try to figure it out.

430
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: Draft the right guys, build a young group, a support system,

431
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: insulate Steph with younger guys around him, but they've never

432
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 2: been able to get an All Star out of these guys.

433
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: Kaminga has probably been mistreated, misused, James Wiseman didn't work out.

434
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: Pods is not on that level. They haven't drafted well enough.

435
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 2: I don't want the last great Steph Curry moment on

436
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: the big stage being in twenty twenty four in the Olympics.

437
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: Do you remember the call but my guy, Noah Eagle

438
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: the Golden Dagger as he hit that fade away over

439
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: Victor women Yama and Rudy Gobert Team France gold medal

440
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: game before that was doing wonders against Serbia. We need

441
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: to see the best players ever in the highest leverage

442
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: moments for as long as possible while they're still close

443
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: to their prime. THEA needs this, like the ratings do matter,

444
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 2: growing the game matters, and it doesn't just hurt the

445
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: NBA not having Steph on the big stage, it can

446
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: hurt his legacy. For any of you that that rolled

447
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: your eyes when I said I think he's top five ever.

448
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: If you're the greatest shooter in basketball, you've been doing

449
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: it for this long and you got four rigs, and

450
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: at least a couple of them where you were the

451
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: best player out there, I think you're the best, one

452
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: of the best players ever. Top five. Well, to solidify it,

453
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: for some of you who are doubters and non believers

454
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 2: in that or say in top ten, maybe top fifteen,

455
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: maybe well, he might need some of those big moments

456
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: on a team that can still compete for a championship.

457
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: This could help Golden State as well. I know it

458
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: will be tough. You don't want to trade Steph. It's

459
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: complicated with this contract. You might have to get three

460
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: teams involved. It's not that simple, I get it. But

461
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a hole still for him. You're gonna

462
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: fill up the cupboards and the war chess with all

463
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: these young assets, players and draft picks, and that's how

464
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: you can really start the rebuild. You try to do

465
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: it a rebuild or more of a reload with Steph.

466
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: It hasn't worked. You never really wanted to bottom out.

467
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: He'll still always be a Golden State Warrior. It's okay,

468
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: But can we see if he can still win at

469
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: the highest level, Because the only way that's happening is

470
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: if he does it somewhere else. Golden State fans don't

471
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: get off on being withholding like Lucille Bluth and arrested development. Okay, mistake.

472
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: If Steph, if he doesn't want to go fine, but

473
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: Warriors fans are robbing us of great moments and holding

474
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: him back. This idea that oh, they'll bring in Demarta Rosen.

475
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: Now that's how they'll switch out Jimmy Butler, and he's right,

476
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: acl they'll just bring in Demarta Rosen. That'll fix things again.

477
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy wasn't enough to begin with and is a better

478
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: player than Damar. They'd have to get Damar someone else,

479
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: and probably someone else. It's not gonna happen with their

480
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: CAF situation. They're only lifeline left and it's a long shot.

481
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: But I guess it's possible to keep Steph, to extend

482
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 2: this era and maybe his legacy, is to go for

483
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: Giannis Dinnakoopa. Giannis is supposedly gonna be out four to

484
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 2: six weeks calf issue that goes past the trade deadline

485
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: on February fifth. You're gonna have to trade for a

486
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: guy who's banged up and I think only has one

487
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: more year left on his contract. After this, you're gonna

488
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: have to give up some of those first round picks

489
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: that you covet that have been holding on to. But

490
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: what reason or what better reason than to give Steph

491
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: an opportunity and keep him as a Golden State Warrior

492
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: because you finally brought in that second star who can

493
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: be the number one option most nights, not Steph, and

494
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Yiannis is a monster still. I expect him to get

495
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 2: healthy and be fine. He'll be healthy by the time

496
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs come around. They'll have to shred water till

497
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: then if he's out for a month to six weeks.

498
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: But that's about it. They don't have really any other

499
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: moves they can make to compete now, to do more

500
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: than just convince fans that, ah, they gave it a shot,

501
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: to try to make it appear as if they're still

502
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: trying to win with Steph Curry. No, no, no, no, you

503
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 2: gotta go all in. These half measured moves aren't gonna work.

504
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, I think they wanted a seven hundred winning

505
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: percentage clip. But Jimmy was old. He's thirty six, and

506
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: I hope he can return and be himself again coming

507
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: off of ACL tair. The only other guy to tear

508
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: his ACL this late in his career would be Birdman Anderson,

509
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: and then he just retired. So when he comes back

510
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: next year, ten months from now, he's likely not going

511
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: to be the same. You could maybe use that contract

512
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: because it's an expiring after this season with Jimmy, which

513
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: is almost sixty million dollars, to try to make the

514
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: money work to get Yannis and then throw in draft picks.

515
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: I believe Golden State has three first round picks that

516
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: they could trade the Yannest thing is inevitable. I put

517
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: my name on it this past summer. By the time

518
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: the twenty six twenty seven NBA season starts, Giannis will

519
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: no longer be on the Bucks. The only question is

520
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: where he'll be that situation it's coming to a head

521
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: right now. They're in a tailspin. Now he's out four

522
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: to six weeks. He said all the right things earlier.

523
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: I just hope we're in playoff positioning at least and

524
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: the guys can hold it down without me, and you

525
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: just try to make a run. I guess, well, good luck.

526
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: That team's not very good. Milwaukee never was. So let's

527
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: see Milwaukee pretty mediocre to bad. I would say mediocre,

528
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors pretty mediocre mediocre. The only way

529
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 2: you can get a good team out of those two

530
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: if you can bin the two best players from both

531
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: teams make the move Golden State and bringing in Giannis,

532
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: or make the move of sending Steph someplace that he

533
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: can still compete for a championship so the rest of

534
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: US fans can enjoy him on the biggest stage again.

535
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: I need that caminga situation that's a disaster with him

536
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: out now too. Is a team going to trade for him?

537
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: And how much were you going to get? The walls

538
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: are closing in steps, running out of time. The greatest

539
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: shooter ever, one of the most the one of the

540
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: best entertainers in sports ever, unlike anything we've seen. We

541
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: want to see him in the playoffs. We want to

542
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: see him in a conference finals, the NBA Finals. It's

543
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: not happening in Golden State unless you go in. Get Yannis.

544
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: So either get Yannis or get Steph out one or

545
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: the other. If you don't mind, send her to the

546
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: Clippers please, all right, all right, I took it a

547
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: step too far. I got the look from breathe.

548
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 9: It's so funny. Okay, Anyway, it was a joke.

549
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: I know that's not possible, even though he did like

550
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: a taste test with a popcorn and into it dome

551
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: because I guess he's a popcorn aficionado Steph Curry, and

552
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I thought that might be, you know, a

553
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: way to his heart to kem to come to the Clippers.

554
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: But the contract stuff is not working. But please, please,

555
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: I need to see Steph play in those high leverage

556
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: situations again. And Jannis get healthy. I'm at a Maslin.

557
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: This is FNL FOS Sports Radio coming up next. We

Speaker 2: You can find me at follow out of May on X.

574
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: A few people did not everybody was too happy about

575
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: the last segment talking about Steph Kerr. In fact, somebody said, don't.

576
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: Give in to hate.

577
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: Kerl will never get traded. You sound stupid. Well, yeah,

578
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: they're not gonna blindside him. It would be Steph's decision

579
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: if they can't build a competent championship team around him,

580
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: and they can't construct a good enough team and he

581
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: realizes he can never win there. It would have to

582
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: be amicable. It'd have to be, you know, mutually agreed upon,

583
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: that type of thing. But it happens, It's happened before

584
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: it could happen again. Someone else asked, this was nature boy,

585
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: Are you proposing a Lebron for Curry trade?

586
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: No?

587
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: No, because that doesn't make a lot of sense. They

588
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: would like to play together Lebron, maybe to Golden State,

589
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: since there were rumors that could have happened last season,

590
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: But that's a lot of money to move with. The

591
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: Lakers take in an expiring contract after next year, meaning

592
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: it'll be expired by the summer of twenty twenty seven

593
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: of Jimmy Butler and Picks to get Lebron James with

594
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: Steph Curry like its Team USA all over again. Yeah, money,

595
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: I would like that. I think it would be fun

596
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: to watch, but I don't know how realistic it is

597
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: right now, because the Lakers don't want to look like

598
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: they're punting on this season if they don't get some

599
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: good players back, and maybe they could get Kaminga and

600
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: it would be a larger trade bring in another team,

601
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: but unlikely. What is likely is coming up next segment,

602
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: we'll talk about the NFC Championship. Carry Rhoades will be

603
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: here too, But first we must get to do We

604
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: have to breathe pass.

605
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 4: Through the customer.

606
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 7: Defending criticises Nicoll nine to one one after her McDonald's

607
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 7: run out of McNuggets.

608
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 10: He can't give a drunk man riding a horse at

609
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 10: EWI and he got.

610
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: Unlike cards, Ordes don't have motors, they have a mind in.

611
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: Their own strange.

612
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: Twenty four year old man now JUSA throwing an alligator

613
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: through a drive through window. Strange. The Saints will never

614
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: trade Drew Brees.

615
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 9: Is that stranger than fiction to you? Not funny.

616
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: So it would be strange if he came back like

617
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers all of a sudden because he's retired and

618
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: naturally was filling in for Mark Sanchez this weekend this season.

619
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: Pretty well, I thought, I don't.

620
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 3: Think that's what he was doing. I think he was

621
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: just going to come in naturally. I don't think it

622
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 3: was a Mark Sanchez was it didn't he.

623
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: Take over, wasn't an emergency thing. I don't rememb that's.

624
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: Right anyways, So, yes, thank you so much for letting

625
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 3: me do this.

626
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 9: This is so exciting.

627
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: You sound insincere.

628
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, this is very very sincere.

629
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: Is it now? Stranger than fiction? With Raby?

630
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 3: Let's go okay, so something we just talked about before

631
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 3: you left the room.

632
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 9: So you don't have any tattoos.

633
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 2: Right, No? I don't.

634
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 9: Okay, I have Okay, No, you don't have any.

635
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 2: I don't have any.

636
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 9: You don't have any. I have three, okay.

637
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: Clouds of I have to take a shot of people

638
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: that had tattoos.

639
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 9: But now I know this, No, you knew that.

640
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 3: Okay, So I have three tattoos, but I don't have

641
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: a tram stamp. Okay, But for people that happen. I

642
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 3: don't have a tramp stamp.

643
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 2: I've never heard of such a thing.

644
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 9: You've never heard of a tramp stamp.

645
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Is that what they call it?

646
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 9: Yes, that's what they call it. Butterfly.

647
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure you've seen your Yeah, I'm sure you

648
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 2: know what. I see nothing. I know nothing.

649
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 9: You've seen your share?

650
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: What's up?

651
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 7: Okay?

652
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 3: Anyway, So speaking of tattoos, So there was this article

653
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 3: about tattoo removal, Okay, yes.

654
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 9: And so it's achieved through like a series of like.

655
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: Laser treatments, right, And I just kind of thought like

656
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: the laser kind of just did its thing and went

657
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: bling and then that the tattoo just like evaporated into

658
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: the air. Right, But there's actually like some science between that. Okay,

659
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 3: So it's obviously achieved through a series of treatments, like

660
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 3: it can range from like four to ten, so it

661
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: actually heats up the actual ink of the tattoo to

662
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: five hundred and seventy two degrees fahrenheit.

663
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: Wait a second, are we just learning about what tattoo removal?

664
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm getting process of that science.

665
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 9: I'm getting this.

666
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 2: It sounds like geek news more than stranger than fake

667
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: It Okay, maybe ever continue, how hot does it get?

668
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 9: Seventy two degrees fahrenheit?

669
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: Right, sounds hot, so it causes the ink particles to

670
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: break apart. Right, So, like I said, I just thought

671
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 3: it kind of just went booo and just disappeared.

672
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 2: I wonder if that could help the piece of lead

673
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: from a pencil that I've had stuck in my hands

674
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: since third grade. I thought i'd get lead poisoning by now,

675
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: but I've made it this far. You should, Yeah, big pencils.

676
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 3: But guess where that would go. So again, this whole time,

677
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: i'd like I said, I've just the tattoo removals. I

678
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:44,959
Speaker 3: just always thought YadA yata.

679
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: But first of all, tattoo removals do not look good. No,

680
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: they look it actually looks worse, much worse. Just have

681
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: them designed something differently over the top of it is

682
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: what you do.

683
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, or just kind of like make it part of

684
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 9: like something else.

685
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: There's no wide out pen that's gonna make it look

686
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: like at best, it looks like you got bit by

687
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: a shark or something like that with the way they

688
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: remove it.

689
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 3: So the whole point of like this article was like, Okay,

690
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 3: so you were just talking about you ate really bad

691
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: and tomorrow you're gonna go work out.

692
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that was off the air, Brie, Are you

693
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: kidding me? How dare you air me out like that?

694
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: So the whole point of this was the fact that

695
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 3: you could actually be peeing or like sweating out your.

696
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: Tattoo, sweating out, well, the tattoos on the skin. The

697
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: epidermers I would think, what do you mean you sweat?

698
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm getting the tattoos on your skin.

699
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: Therefore you're sweating out.

700
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 9: The the ink particles.

701
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: Oh, you sweat out the ink particles.

702
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 9: I'm kidding.

703
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 3: So the laser hits the skin, the energy that's absorbed

704
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: by the picnic is converted into heat, right, So it

705
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: breaks down the particles so the body could absorb or

706
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: expel it.

707
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 9: So it creates like a wound.

708
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: Okay, And that's why it looks so bad.

709
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: That's why it looks about because obviously it's breaking down

710
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: like the skin particles.

711
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 2: Right, it looks like acid from an alien hit you

712
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 2: or you are in Vietnam and like old or more

713
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: from Harry Potter welltoon type thing.

714
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 3: So the healing process after that it creates that wound.

715
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 3: It sends a bunch of little white blood cells called

716
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: macrophages right to remove the particles.

717
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: Let's say, right, like, you know macrophages, macrophage you're like

718
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: a kinesiology person or something that was a long time ago.

719
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: Don't you people know what that is.

720
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 9: It's very basic.

721
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: So anyways, the lymphatic system recognizes the disegrading ink as

722
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: like waste and expels it through sweat, urine or even

723
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: the other thing.

724
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 2: That I don't know. If I could say the other thing,

725
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 2: yeah I can, maybe I'll say it for you.

726
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 4: I don't nobody going to boom.

727
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 3: So basically, how your body gets rid of the ink

728
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: is going to depend on how color, what color it is.

729
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 3: So it's really easy to get rid of brown, black,

730
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: and blue ink because.

731
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: It's those are your standards, I guess.

732
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: But some people get colored tattoos like red and green

733
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 3: and floury and stuff. So the whole point to summarize this,

734
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: you could be peeing out your tramp stamp right now

735
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: if you had a tramp stamp.

736
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 9: If I had a tramp stamp cat and we were like, oh,

737
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 9: let's get it removed.

738
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: We could literally like be peeing or sweating it out

739
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: like I could have sweat it out in hot yoga today,

740
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

741
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 2: It just fades away like Spider Man in Infinity War

742
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: where he's like, I don't want to go, I don't

743
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 2: want to go, and your tattoo dissolves.

744
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: But that's so and initially that's what I thought, but

745
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: it's really like the opposite, and like, you know, you

746
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: could be like Sandra Bullock in two weeks notice and

747
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 3: like going to the bathroom and all of it's gone.

748
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 9: You know what I mean.

749
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: I have no idea what you're talking about right now?

750
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: Two weeks notice? Was that a Noah bombback film? I

751
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: doubt it, so I have not seen it.

752
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 9: It's a Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant rom con Well

753
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 9: and I.

754
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: Loved her in Speed Quiz.

755
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 9: Hot Shot, a great movie.

756
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: So Keanu Reeves was sweeting a sweating so he could

757
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: have been like and he is a sweetie.

758
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 9: He could have been sweating out his tattoos.

759
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there you go.

760
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 9: That's stranger than fiction.

761
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 3: You could be sweating, peing or whatever else your tattoo

762
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 3: if you were getting your removed.

763
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: So wait a second, are you saying it is worth

764
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: getting tattoos removed now? At this point because we have

765
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 2: better technology. Look as bad.

766
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 3: If your body get Yeah, it's coming out of your body.

767
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 3: It's just cool to know if you were gonna get

768
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: it removed.

769
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: Are you saying our listeners have a tattoo problem and

770
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: this is the solution.

771
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 9: This is a solution if you want to do it.

772
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 9: There's some scientific It.

773
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: Starts with your three tattoos.

774
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,960

00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: a piece of dry toilet paper and wondered? Is this

783
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: as good as it gets? It's not switched to life changing?

784
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: What extra large flushable dude wipes because wetter just cleans better.

787

Speaker 2: Carrie Rhodes will be on the show and then we'll

788
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: have a little bit of geek news for you a

789
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: follow up story. We don't do that very often, But

790
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 2: first I need to talk about something that's going down

791
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.

792
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 8: What are the headlines on the announcement to starting quarterbacks?

793
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: Well at Championship Sunday, But that doesn't mean everyone's a champion.

794
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: This is where we separate the men from the boys,

795
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: the week from the chaff, the contenders from the pretenders,

796
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 2: the Matt Staffords from the Sam Donalds, the blondes from

797
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: the Strawberry Blondes. That borderline on gingers Jean is a cut,

798
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: you know. I think Sam Donald does qualify as a

799
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: ginger action.

800
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 10: The ginger Jean is a cush.

801
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 2: Now. I'm not saying that's why he struggled in the postseason,

802
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 2: like he's Andy Dalton the Red Rifle which turned into

803
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: the Red Rider, just a BB gun in the postseason

804
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: over the years for Cincinnati. But if I'm being honest,

805
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 2: no one has more pressure on them this postseason than

806
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. Why because this is actually his Super Bowl

807
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: to lose. You're probably wondering, why would you describe Sam

808
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: Donald as that guy He's not even the best quarterback left.

809
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 2: You might have him fourth, you might have Jared Sidham

810
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: ahead of him. It's Donald's super Bowl to lose, because

811
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: if he's just not spectacular, not great, but if he

812
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: can just be solid competent, I think the Seahawks are

813
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: gonna win at all. And the truth is Donald isn't

814
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 2: some caretaker game manager like Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson

815
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: when they won Super Bowls. He actually has much more

816
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: ability than either of those guys, and they had to

817
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: have their defense carry them to rings. Guys, Sam Donald

818
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 2: was a top five pick in the draft. He was

819
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: a bawler coming out of USC. He can make all

820
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: the throws, he can move in the pocket. Well, he's

821
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 2: a good athlete. He has everything you need except maybe

822
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 2: that one thing. We have trouble defining that it factor,

823
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: the ice in his veins, the clutch gene clutch. Some

824
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: have it, some don't. But Donald is an interesting case.

825
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: I think he did have it. You go back and

826
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 2: watch that Rose Bowl he won against Penn State for USC.

827
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: He makes some of the best throws in most clutch

828
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: throws you'll ever see in a big time college football game.

829
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: USC was down two touchdowns entering the fourth against a

830
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: loaded Penn State team with Saquon Barkley, Sam Donald, he

831
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: threw some Dilfer dimes, all right. They were so good

832
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: that you could say, yeah, he definitely was not going

833
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: to be Dilfer in the NFL. The way he led

834
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: them to that comeback. He has all the arm talent

835
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: you need. He has the ability to anticipate and process

836
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: reads and go through his progressions from the pocket. He

837
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: looked perfect in college at times. There was zero concern

838
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 2: on if he could do it at the next level,

839
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: and he was thought to be the better prospect heading

840
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: out for the pro game than Baker Mayfield because of

841
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: his physical tools. But the Browns took Baker number one

842
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: and the Jets got Donald third. For once, Jets stans

843
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: thought they had the right guy to lead them to

844
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: their first Super Bowl since Joe Namath called his shot.

845
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 2: Some Jets fans probably predicted Sam Donald's first pass with

846
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 2: them would be a pick six, and they were right

847
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 2: to the man. But if you were thinking that was

848
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: a sign of things to come, well, Donald did bounce

849
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: back in that first game through two touchdowns. He won

850
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: his first game as a Jet. Actually now it was

851
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: all downhill from there. It took a year of taking

852
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: a pounding though from defensive lines to where then Donald

853
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 2: admitted to seeing ghosts by his second year with the Jets.

854
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: Then after the Jets ghosted him, he passed through Carolina

855
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 2: and San Francisco like he was a ghost. Hardly knew

856
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: he was there. But last season he was rejuvenated by

857
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 2: koc in minut soda and he's got a Pro Bowl year.

858
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: But it didn't end well. And when the money was

859
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: on the line, when he knew he was playing for

860
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 2: his next contract, his next deal, he played his worst

861
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 2: football against Detroit in that battle for the number one seed.

862
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: Last season with Donald on the Vikings, he was awful

863
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 2: against the Rams in the wild card game. He was

864
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: bad d Mind you, those were the first games of

865
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: importance he had played since the Rose Bowl with USC

866
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: seven years prior Clutch, So maybe we were expecting too much.

867
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: He hadn't been in those big time games. But if

868
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: he had gone on a run with the Vikings, they

869
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: couldn't have let him go in free agency. JJ McCarthy

870
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,959
Speaker 2: be damned like the Vikings if that team had won,

871
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: if they had gone to at least the NFC Championship.

872
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: They were fourteen and three. Donald threw thirty five touchdowns

873
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: to twelve picks. But he played himself out of a

874
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: new contract in Minnesota and his money, well, the Seahawks did.

875
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: They gave him three years, one hundred million. So Donald

876
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: gets off to a tourd start this year. In fact,

877
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: two months into the season, he looked like one of,

878
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: if not the best quarterback in the league. Honestly, I

879
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: think before the first game this year against the Rams,

880
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 2: that was like week nine. Before that, Donald was ranked

881
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the league by Pro Football Focus.

882
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 2: But the Rams of the team he continues to see

883
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: ghosts again with It goes back to the playoff performance

884
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: last year. He threw four picks this year in the

885
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 2: first matchup in LA against the Rams, and yet the

886
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: Hawks still almost won. It was twenty one nineteen. Donald

887
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: threw four picks in that game in LA for the

888
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 2: Seahawks and they lost by two. And that is the point.

889
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: This Hawks team is so good. Their marching error isn't

890
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 2: just large, it's it's Sam Darnold, Like he can throw

891
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: four picks in a game and they're still in it

892
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 2: against the team they're about to see in the NFC

893
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 2: Championship game. And that's how you know it's his Super

894
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 2: Bowl to lose. All he's got to do is be

895
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: somewhat steady. They don't need him necessarily to win the

896
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 2: game with his arm. Just don't lose it. It doesn't

897
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 2: mean he can't make any mistakes out there.

898
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: Pretty huge mistake.

899
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: Mistakes will happen.

900
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: They're admitted to a mistake.

901
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: But how do I know that he can make some

902
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: and get away with it and still win Because the

903
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: next time he saw the Rams, I think this was

904
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: week sixteen or fifteen, he only had two picks this time,

905
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 2: and they won, and he threw the game winning touchdown

906
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: and had a two point conversion in ot to come

907
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: back down sixteen in the fourth quarter to beat the

908
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 2: Rams on Thursday Night football. I think it was Thursday

909
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: and football. That was like the best Thursday Football game ever.

910
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: That made up for years of ineptitude and awful games

911
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 2: that we got. But I promise you the very reason

912
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: they didn't play for the tie there at the end

913
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: of that game, it was made by their head coach

914
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: with the Seahawks, Mike McDonald. For this moment coming up

915
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: on Sunday. He wanted to show faith in his quarterback.

916
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: He knows Donald has playoff demons, he also has ghosts.

917
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 2: He knows he's gonna need him though, at some point

918
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: to overcome them if they're going to win at all.

919
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: And he doesn't need to do everything though, show some

920
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 2: confidence in your quarterback like he did at the end

921
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: of that game, and let him know we need you

922
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: to play a role. Yes, make enough throws in high

923
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: leverage situations, yes, But that defense that'll let you be

924
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: a game manager at times, Sam, They're so good on

925
00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 2: that end. And again, Sam Donald is not Trent. He

926
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 2: might have to be him at times where he reels

927
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: it in where he doesn't try to make the big

928
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: play because he's been turnover prone, but there's also going

929
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: to be times where he has to scale it up

930
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: and he's gotta show all that talent he has, which

931
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 2: shows the difference between him and these quarterback managers we

932
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: talk about that ended up winning super Bowls just because

933
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 2: the defense was so good and so loaded. Well, the

934
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 2: Hawks are loaded. They are ready to win the Super

935
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: Bowl right now. All they knew. All they need is

936
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold to be serviceable. He doesn't need to be

937
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 2: a superstar, although he's capable of times, Just don't put

938
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: your defense in too many bad positions. They can overcome

939
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: a few turnovers and you can still win the game.

940
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 2: This Hawks team is stacked, right. Donald threw for last

941
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 2: week against the Niners one hundred and twenty four yards,

942
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: one twenty four and one touchdown against the Niners and

943
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: they still beat him forty to six. The league in

944
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 2: a boom compared to this Seahawks defense like mediocre. Yeah,

945
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: this Seahawks defense is fierce. Hand the ball off to

946
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker, make a few throws to JSN You'll be

947
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: just fine. The defense will take care of the rest.

948
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: You don't have to out duel Stafford. He didn't in

949
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 2: the overtime win against him, and he's still won. In

950
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: that sense, there's actually less pressure on him. But the

951
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 2: pressure comes from the fact that you know a Super

952
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 2: Bowl win is right there for the taking. As long

953
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: as you do your part, you're possibly the weakest link

954
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: that could ruin it all the now, CGI Smokey the

955
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: Bear says, only you can prevent forest fire, Sam Darnold,

956
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: only you can prevent the Seahawks from winning the Super Bowl.

957
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: The Rams rematch that's coming up on Sunday. I can't

958
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 2: wait the rubber match between these two teams. It's gonna

959
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 2: be electric, and I hope Sam Darnald can overcome the

960
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: playoff wolves from the past or the big game Wolves,

961
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: because I don't think it's fair. I think it's still

962
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: kind of inconclusive. He hasn't been enough of these big games.

963
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 2: He didn't get any with the Jets, he didn't get

964
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 2: in with the Panthers. How is he supposed to get

965
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 2: more experience in prime time? His teams weren't on. But

966
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 2: the truth is the Seahawks they are built to win. Now,

967
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 2: you got to strike while the iron is hot. This

968
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 2: is his opportunity and he doesn't have to be spectacular.

969
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: Somewhere in between spectacular and a game manager is where

970
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: he needs to find himself. And that will be enough

971
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 2: with the rest of the Seahawks team doing a little

972
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: bit of a carry job but not too much. Come on, Sam,

973
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 2: pull through. Do it for all the guys in the

974
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 2: past that came up short. For Kirk Cousins. I want

975
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 2: to see that moment afterwards where Sam Donald's like you

976
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 2: like that he's been doubted, he's been doubted for a while,

977
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: and he seems like a great guy. I think he's

978
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: been interviewed like four times on Thursday Night Football this season.

979
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 2: It's felt like that postgame they won all those games,

980
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 2: they've been great. Another year where his team goes fourteen

981
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 2: and three. But you have to prove it now. Just

982
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: don't try to do too much. They don't need you to.

983
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 2: Coming up next als carry Rhodes about this? What do

984
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 2: you thinks about Sam Darnold the NFC and AFC championship games.

Speaker 2: piece of dry toilet paper and wondered is this as

997
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: good as a guest it's not switched to life changing

998
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: Wet extra large flushable dude wipes because Wetter just cleans better.

Speaker 2: Available at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide. Dudewipes Best

1000
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 2: Clean Pants down coming up. Also in just a little bit,

1001
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 2: we'll have more from Brebery in Breeze three here. Did

1002
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 2: anybody else see that new trailer? Since I played the

1003
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 2: he Man sound there, I don't know. I'm concerned the

1004
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 2: new Masters of the Universe. He's like a regular guy

1005
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 2: that finds out he's from there. And the CGI stuff

1006
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 2: with the tiger and everything, and I'm not even the

1007
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 2: biggest he Man guy. I called it a tie and

1008
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 2: whatever the name is escapes me. I mean, Transformers was

1009
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: my earliest cartoon and Inspector Gadget, and believe me, they

1010
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: ruined both of those with bad movies. Now, there was

1011
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 2: a good Transformers movie.

1012
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: One Shall Stand One Show.

1013
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 2: Fall, the cartoon from nineteen eighty six that they swore

1014
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 2: in and killed Optimus Prime and kids were running out

1015
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 2: of theaters screaming and crying afterwards. That was the good one.

1016
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 2: The Bay Formers, the Michael Bay movies bad, and that

1017
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 2: Inspector Gadget movie with I think Matthew Broderick from the

1018
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: late nineties or was that Rocky and Bullwinkle. I don't know.

1019
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 2: They did him dirty somehow, But this he Man, this

1020
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 2: Masters of the Universe. Even though the first one wasn't

1021
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 2: very good in its own right, this one looks bad.

1022
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm not very high on it.

1023
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 9: I'm gonna watch it.

1024
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 2: I am high on this though.

1025
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 9: Wait what, I'm gonna watch this This guy just despite me.

1026
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 9: Oh no, this guy, he's so funny.

1027
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, that's all you care about?

1028
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 7: What?

1029
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: How dare you objectify he Man like that? That's disgusting?

1030
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 9: No, but I swear like this guy is actually really hot.

1031
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 3: And I don't really feel that way about movies like that.

1032
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 9: Really, I don't care.

1033
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 3: But like this he Man. Whatever this guy is, I

1034
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 3: don't even I've never seen him before in my life.

1035
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 3: I think they did great casting.

1036
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 2: Check out his IMDb and all gole your way through

1037
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 2: the rest of the casting.

1038
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 3: Wise, right, I think that that's a good enough reason

1039
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 3: I want to see it.

1040
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 9: I think they cast it pretty well.

1041
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: I guess it's working for the female audience because they

1042
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 2: just objectify him to hoorn.

1043
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 5: Treats objects like women.

1044
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 2: Man, I guess I spoke too soon. He man's back

1045
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: up Masters of the Universe. It's worked in for breevery here.

1046
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: Hey watch the original with Dolph Lungern. Okay, he was

1047
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 2: pretty hot back in his day. Maybe watch him Rocky

1048
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: four while while you're at it. I'm out of oslet

1049
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 2: is f and A on FSR. We got a good

1050
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 2: guest for you. I gotta get to him. I was drinking, dude,

1051
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Goddy Well. Our next guest knows the game

1052
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 2: because he played the game, and with it being Championship Sunday,

1053
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 2: we needed a guy who's been in these high stakes

1054
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 2: settings before and did so with the Jets no less,

1055
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 2: so he should definitely get some bonus calls for helping

1056
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 2: that franchise to get to a championship game. But the

1057
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 2: question is who's gonna take the road towards the Super

1058
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 2: Bowl this weekend. Well, let's ask our friend Carry Roads

1059
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 2: from Fox Sports Football Sunday, who's not just a former baller,

1060
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 2: but he's a renaissance man and artist. He can hear

1061
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 2: him on streaming apps like Spotify under Carry Roads. I'm

1062
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: partial to his cover of I had some help, Carry

1063
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: Thanks for helping me out coming on FNA on Fox

1064
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: Sports Radio tonight.

1065
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 7: Oh for sure, Man, thanks for the shout out, and

1066
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 7: thanks for the shout out with the Jets, because we

1067
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 7: did have success.

1068
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 4: We did have some success here and there. So I've

1069
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 4: definitely been in these moments before.

1070
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 2: No before we get to the upcoming games this week.

1071
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: And I want to go back a little bit with

1072
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: you because I saw a tweet from you, I believe,

1073
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 2: talking about those PI calls late against Buffalo. Being the

1074
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 2: dB that you were, you got some authority in this area.

1075
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: Those were accurate calls in your opinion.

1076
00:56:59,120 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 4: They were they.

1077
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously with all these three frames and you know,

1078
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 7: people doing these screen grabs and showing, you know, stuff

1079
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 7: that favors their argument, it's just gonna convolute.

1080
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 4: Everything, right.

1081
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 7: But and it's it all changed with that catching the

1082
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 7: ball and continuent throughout the ground, right, So I mean, yes,

1083
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 7: a catch is always up for dispute these days, and

1084
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 7: the ones in that Buffalo game, and yeah, I mean

1085
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 7: the interception on Brandon Cooks, it wasn't an interception. It

1086
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 7: looks like he had the ball coming down, but he

1087
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 7: did not survive the tour by at.

1088
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 4: The ground and so as he was on the ground.

1089
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 4: The ball was a little loose and the.

1090
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 7: dB took it, and that's just part of you know

1091
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 7: that rule. So the rule is the rule. And they

1092
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 7: made their accurate call there, and the pis I thought

1093
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 7: they were I thought they were good as well. I mean,

1094
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 7: I'm the one for White. He was grabbing the receiver

1095
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 7: arms so he couldn't get his other arm up there,

1096
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 7: and so if they catch it, they're gonna call it.

1097
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 7: Sometimes they don't because they don't see it all the time,

1098
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 7: but in that position, they saw it. Oh yeah, I'm

1099
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 7: a firm believer that the NFL actually got it right

1100
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 7: that time.

1101
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 2: I talked about it earlier, Carrie, But I have a

1102
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 2: hard time putting all the blame on Josh Allen when

1103
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: you also kind of give him all the credit just

1104
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: for having them in that game. I feel like they've

1105
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: relied a little bit too much on him, so he

1106
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 2: has to be so perfect out there. How did you

1107
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: see the failure last week in Denver by the Bills

1108
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen.

1109
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it was a failure on Josh Allen.

1110
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 7: But that doesn't that doesn't like everything you said is true,

1111
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 7: But in that particular game, it's I mean, it's on

1112
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 7: Josh Allen, and I know we've become accustomed to him

1113
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 7: being able to succeed in all those areas, and you

1114
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 7: carry the team because I mean, obviously without him, they

1115
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 7: wouldn't be where they were. But in that particular game,

1116
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 7: he did not play his best, and I'm sure and

1117
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 7: he did. He came to the podium and was very

1118
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 7: emotional about it, because when you expect to play pretty

1119
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 7: much perfect football and you don't do that and your

1120
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 7: team takes a hit, for I mean, obviously he's going

1121
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 7: to take it hard. And so the beautiful thing about

1122
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 7: that for me was just how much he cares about

1123
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 7: it because you know, as a young football player, I

1124
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 7: would have those same sentiments. I remember coming into the

1125
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 7: league early, I mean as a rookie and you know,

1126
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 7: starting I started from day one. So just getting thrown

1127
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 7: out into the fire and seeing that stuff, like, I

1128
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 7: really took it to heart when we lost, right, And

1129
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 7: you'll see some of the older guys or some veteran

1130
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 7: guys who's kind of like, you know, you lose and

1131
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 7: they've been used to it, and they you know, they'll

1132
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 7: go out and have a drink after and it's fine,

1133
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 7: but I felt, I really felt distraught in the beginning,

1134
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 7: and then so like seeing that it still matter to

1135
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 7: him that much.

1136
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's really what I take away from it.

1137
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about some of the

1138
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 2: coaching hires here. And John Harbaugh ends up going to

1139
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 2: the New York Giants, and he gave your old coach

1140
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 2: a shout out, and Rex Ryan saying I'll give him

1141
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 2: a call his old d C. Do you think Rex

1142
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 2: Ryan would be a good play caller in today's NFL?

1143
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 2: And how do you feel about the hire with John

1144
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 2: Harball with the Giants.

1145
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 7: I think the hardball in the Giants deal is a

1146
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 7: good one for both sides. I mean, obviously, the Giants

1147
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 7: have a story franchise, and obviously you know they've won

1148
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 7: some Super Bowls, and I think you know they've been

1149
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 7: bad though these last you know, these last.

1150
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 4: Six seven years or whatever.

1151
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 7: I'm not one hundred percent acting on the years, but

1152
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 7: they've been bad here and and so to have somebody

1153
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 7: that's known for success and being able to be a

1154
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 7: CEO of a team and run a team and have

1155
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 7: some stability, I mean that's the right hire for them.

1156
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 7: They got a quarterback in Jack and Dart, who I love,

1157
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 7: I mean my league neighbors, and then you, I mean.

1158
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 4: They got they got some skilled guys.

1159
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 7: So and the defense is good too, and so a

1160
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 7: guy like you said, Rex Ryan coming into the call

1161
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 7: that defense.

1162
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 4: I think the Red Ryan is a perfect defensive coordinator.

1163
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 7: I've kind of, you know, looked at him, you know,

1164
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 7: as a as a player with them and being on

1165
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 7: the team, and also when I left, I don't think.

1166
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 4: He is the best head coach. But you talk about defensive.

1167
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 7: Coordinator and being able to call with defense and getting

1168
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 7: those guys to believe in him and get the job done,

1169
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 7: I think it'll be a slam dunk hire, to be honest.

1170
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: What do you think about the difference between those CEO

1171
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 2: figurehead types overseeing everything like a John Harbaugh versus more

1172
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 2: of the schemers out there, the coordinators that get hired

1173
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: to out scheme everybody else. Do you think the NFL

1174
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 2: is trending in one way versus the other?

1175
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 7: I don't know if it is, but I think there's

1176
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 7: I think there's goodness in both of those things.

1177
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm more of. I like this CEO guy.

1178
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 7: I like the guy that's going to be able to

1179
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 7: and it didn't work like this completely one hundred percent

1180
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 7: down to stretch in Baltimore.

1181
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 4: I think that's why Harball was let go. But you

1182
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 4: got to have the pulse.

1183
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 7: Of your team, and you got to have you know,

1184
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 7: being able to check the tenor in the room when

1185
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 7: things are going well, but also when the things are going.

1186
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 4: Bad, and so being able to have that discernment.

1187
01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 7: I think it's huge when you're dealing with no multiple personalities,

1188
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 7: multiple egos.

1189
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 4: And you know, multiple desires.

1190
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 7: Got people that are trying to play for their livelihood,

1191
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 7: you got people playing for new contracts, you got people

1192
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 7: playing for their legacy, and so there's so many different

1193
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 7: things that are supposed to be aligned for you, all

1194
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 7: heading towards one goal. And so CEO guys, the guys

1195
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 7: that manage everything, I think there is a bigger place

1196
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 7: for that. But the schemer guys, the guys that know

1197
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 7: football and coordinators that go into jobs, I would say

1198
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 7: stick to your strength, like if that's who you are,

1199
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 7: do that and hire guys around you that know just

1200
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 7: as much about the game and scheming as you do.

1201
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 4: So you can.

1202
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 7: Also be able to delegate that power and not be

1203
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 7: somebody that's stretching yourself than trying to do something that

1204
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 7: you're not good at.

1205
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 2: It's our friend Carry Rhoads from Fox Football Sunday on

1206
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Here, I'm at a Moslem. This is

1207
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 2: F and A on FSR. Gary. You know, I'm just

1208
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 2: a stupid white guy, but I do see the numbers

1209
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 2: and seventy percent of the players in the game are

1210
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: African Americans. And the coaching hires so far it's just

1211
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 2: Robert Salle who was hired as an African American. There's

1212
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 2: still job openings left here. I saw Rob Parker talking

1213
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 2: a little bit about this earlier, but I wanted to

1214
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 2: get your perspective on just the coaching carousel, the hiring cycle,

1215
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 2: and do we have an issue here.

1216
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always been an issue.

1217
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 7: But again it's one of those things where you're working

1218
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 7: in a business where there's only thirty one. I mean,

1219
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 7: there's not a lot of openings, right, and so just

1220
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 7: like when anything else, there's nepotism, there's favoritism, and there's

1221
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 7: you know, and I think there is.

1222
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 4: Something to that as far as you.

1223
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 7: Want to work with people that that you know and

1224
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 7: that you have some type of rapport with and that's

1225
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 7: that may be part of the problem. But also I

1226
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 7: mean until the NFL, or until people that are consuming

1227
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 7: that product have a real issue with it, and maybe

1228
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 7: you know, the NFL bottom line takes a hit, I

1229
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 7: don't think that's going to change.

1230
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 4: And yes, there is a problem obviously, we I think

1231
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 4: we've seen it on.

1232
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 7: Just a bigger global scale right where you would talk

1233
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 7: about entertainment, right, that's usually a nepotism feel as well,

1234
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 7: But you start overcompensating for that, and I don't think

1235
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 7: you need to overcompensate for it. I just think you

1236
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 7: need to hire the right people and put the right

1237
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,959
Speaker 7: people in positions. I mean, there are people of color

1238
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 7: that obviously can get the job done. And I'm not

1239
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 7: saying I don't know about this hiring sight. I don't

1240
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 7: know cycle, I don't know who all has been interviewed,

1241
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 7: so I don't know that either. But yeah, man, until

1242
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 7: the bottom line takes a hit, I don't think that's

1243
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 7: It's just I don't think it's going to change.

1244
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: You surprised the bills are interviewing Philip Rivers and what

1245
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 2: do you think of Sean McDermott getting the raw deal?

1246
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 2: Not to put you in a bad spot or anything.

1247
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 2: Kerry just just asking questions.

1248
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 4: You got no no.

1249
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 7: I Philip Rivers is so tied to and I think

1250
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 7: that's great.

1251
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 4: I think his story was great.

1252
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 7: For him to possibly get the head coaching job over

1253
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 7: qualified another qualified event individual.

1254
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 4: At this point in time, I just don't see it happening.

1255
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 7: Maybe it's, you know, maybe they're interviewing him for later

1256
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 7: on or whatever.

1257
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 4: But if he's the head coach.

1258
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 7: Of the Buffalo Bills going into next season, that would

1259
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 7: be a problem in my opinion. And I love Philip.

1260
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 7: Me and Philip actually go way back, and I've we

1261
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 7: literally came out. We graduated high school the same time

1262
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 7: in Alabama together, we bought a quarterbacks so I've known

1263
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 7: him for a while. I know he's a bright football mind,

1264
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 7: but he just doesn't have the experience.

1265
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the football then, Kevin up

1266
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 2: this weekend. Are you still a believer in Denver's defense

1267
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 2: enough to where they can win this game without bow

1268
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Nicks against the Patriots at home.

1269
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 4: Last week?

1270
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 7: I said it too after I was on my show

1271
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 7: on Sundays on Fox, and people were just so quick

1272
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 7: to say, oh, I guess there's going to the Super Bulligan.

1273
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 7: I'm like, hold on, Man's that's that's it doesn't work

1274
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 7: that way. Number One, they're going to rally, They're going

1275
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 7: to play their best brand of football because they know

1276
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 7: they got a guy that hasn't been in that position.

1277
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 4: A lot.

1278
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 7: He hasn't played a lot of games. But I'll tell

1279
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 7: you this about Jerry Stidham. I know he is not

1280
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 7: Vote Nicks as far as his athleticism, and I think

1281
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 7: that's what separates him. But can he operate the offense?

1282
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 7: Can he make every throw their Vote Knicks can make

1283
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 7: on the field one hundred and so? And then he

1284
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 7: also has some on Peyton who's going to put them

1285
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 7: in an advantageous situation based off of Stidham's.

1286
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 4: Ability. And so it's going to be interesting to see

1287
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 4: if New England doesn't come in.

1288
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 7: Fully prepared and ready to go, which I expect him

1289
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 7: to with a variable being the guy there.

1290
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 4: But this game is going to be close and it

1291
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 4: can go either way.

1292
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 7: And I I'm going to go on the record right

1293
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 7: now and say I think Denver is actually going to

1294
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 7: win that game.

1295
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Carrie Roads putting his aim on it already were

1296
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 2: about twenty four hours away to find out what if

1297
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 2: he's right or not.

1298
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: Now.

1299
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into his legal issues obviously,

1300
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 2: but you had Mark Sanchez under center with the Jets.

1301
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 2: They weren't exactly a high scoring offense. Did you feel

1302
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 2: more pressure on the defensive side because of that, knowing, hey,

1303
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 2: we got to shut teams down this week? You guys

1304
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 2: obviously ended up losing I think to the Steelers in

1305
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 2: the AFC championship game, But was there more pressure on

1306
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 2: you because of who the quarterback was and could that

1307
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 2: be something Denver is going to be feeling.

1308
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, we lost to the coach it with Teyton Manning.

1309
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 7: He finally got over and got a championship that year.

1310
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 7: But it was we thought that way throughout the regular season.

1311
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 7: I think we had our standard and we knew who

1312
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 7: we were at that time. It wasn't we didn't expect

1313
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 7: Sanchez to do much in the beginning at all, and

1314
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 7: we went out there and we played that way. But

1315
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 7: as the season went on, Man, I'll tell you man,

1316
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 7: Mark actually really blossomed and started started to make winning

1317
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 7: plays for us.

1318
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 4: Especially in the playoffs and the playoffs, he was really good.

1319
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 7: He was making throws and he was big time, and

1320
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 7: so yes, you have that mentality going in, but you know,

1321
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 7: the players grow and play, players blossom and get better,

1322
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 7: and Mark did that for us, and I know that it.

1323
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 4: Was solely based on our identity. Though. Our identity was

1324
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 4: we were going.

1325
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 7: To be a really, really good defensive team, and we were,

1326
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 7: we were number one in the league.

1327
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 4: But we're also going to run the ball.

1328
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 7: And I think when you're able to run the ball successfully,

1329
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 7: you take that pressure off the quarterback, but it also

1330
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,480
Speaker 7: puts the pressure on the other team because the opportunities

1331
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 7: are a little bit more thin. Right, You're not getting

1332
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 7: the ball as many times as you normally would in

1333
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 7: the game, and so you start the press and you

1334
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 7: try to make plays. And I think that's the misconception

1335
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 7: or the unknown for the common fan, right, Like when

1336
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 7: you run the ball and you limit the other team

1337
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 7: and you start seeing other teams press or throw interceptions

1338
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 7: or get turnovers, it's because of that, like they're trying

1339
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 7: to make plays with the finite, with the finite plays

1340
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 7: and possessings, they're getting.

1341
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 2: A couple more for you here, Carrie. On the other side,

1342
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 2: in the NFC in Seattle Seahawks taken on the Rams

1343
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,719
Speaker 2: for the third time this season. Have we been maybe

1344
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 2: overlooking Seattle as obviously being the best team. It's just

1345
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 2: because people don't believe enough in Sam Darnold in these

1346
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 2: moments where they start to doubt whether or not they

1347
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 2: can win it all.

1348
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that thing has been good all year.

1349
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 7: That team is physical on defense, talk about another really

1350
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 7: good defense, have a good running game, and you have

1351
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 7: a quarterback that's played really good in all year. He's

1352
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 7: having bad moments just like every other quarterback does. But

1353
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 7: you know then you have a top receiving target, and

1354
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 7: you have Cooper cup who stepped up in the playoffs

1355
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 7: in this one game so far, and we know he's

1356
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 7: going to be motivated to play his old team.

1357
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 4: So yes, I mean they can win it all and

1358
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 4: people should fear them.

1359
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,720
Speaker 7: But my pig in that game, and the team that

1360
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 7: I thought was the best team in the NFC all

1361
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 7: year is in this game as well, and that's the Rams.

1362
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,560
Speaker 7: They've been in consistent down the stretch here. But I

1363
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 7: think the best on best if both teams come with

1364
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 7: their best performances. I do think the Rams have a

1365
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 7: little bit more power to firepower.

1366
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 2: So you got Rams versus Denver. It sounds like then

1367
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 2: going to the Super Bowl. Who did you have before

1368
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 2: the season, Because I'll be up front, I had the

1369
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 2: Bills and the Packers and both of them are out.

1370
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 2: They don't got a chance to get in. Did you

1371
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 2: happy to do these teams?

1372
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 4: Yep? I had the Rams and the Ravens. But the

1373
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 4: Ravens are the ones that destroyed me.

1374
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 2: Hey, you got one. At least you got one. That's

1375
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 2: not bad.

1376
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 4: Hey, I know a little bit, am, I know a

1377
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 4: little bit.

1378
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 2: Hey, That's why I needed to have you on. Straighten

Speaker 2: tipping some like we go cow tipping, or at least

1400
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 2: we used to up in NorCal they're tipping boats. Killer

1412
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 2: What's an loan denman? If you're playing D and D tonight,

1413
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 2: you want to come.

1414
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 4: Cases, let's sell guys, were won't be choosed that.

1415
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: I've been chying online with babes called just keep a power.

1416
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 2: Clubs off her passion Race, who said out Kenneln. We

1417
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 2: talk a lot about animals and geek news, but rarely

1418
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 2: have a follow up story, mostly because I'm too lazy

1419
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 2: to continue to keep tracking the story. But this is

1420
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: a whale of a tail and it could turn into

1421
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 2: a saga. Maybe it gets a free Willy trilogy, or

1422
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 2: maybe just gives us a remake of nineteen seventy seven's Orca,

1423
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 2: a horror movie starring a bloodthirsty killer whale, which was

1424
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 2: trying to capitalize on the success of Jaws from two

1425
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 2: years earlier. I think Jaws was better just a little

1426
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 2: bit than nineteen seventy seven's Orca, but in real life,

1427
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:28,719
Speaker 2: though in Orca it will ragged all a great white shark,

1428
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 2: Yet there have been no recorded deaths to humans in

1429
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 2: the wild, although there have been four fatal attacks from

1430
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 2: Orca's in captivity You whale huggers might be happy about this.

1431
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:43,919
Speaker 2: Three of these were from the same whale named Tillicum.

1432
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 2: One of the people killed was a bum who climbed

1433
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: into Tilly's tank, as they called him Tillicum Tilly after

1434
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 2: hours and was found dead on till It comes back

1435
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 2: the next morning, just draped over it like a scar

1436
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 2: for something. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yeah, it's

1437
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 2: pretty simple.

1438
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 4: I win Google me.

1439
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1440
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 2: That had to be a winner for Darwin of the

1441
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 2: Year award type thing.

1442
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 7: This just in.

1443
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 2: You know, those those large animals that weigh ten tons,

1444
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 2: they can be very dangerous. That those big old women

1445
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 2: down different different animals here. So a couple of months

1446
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 2: ago in geek News, we discussed killer whales attacking yachts

1447
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 2: near the Strait of Gibraltar, and scientists have been studying

1448
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 2: these seemingly coordinated attacks. Initially, the thought was they were

1449
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 2: just playing with the boats. Huhuh, this is fun. But

1450
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 2: the sailors and yachtsmen they found the whales rocking the

1451
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 2: boat campaign about as cool as when we all said

1452
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 2: rock the vote back in the nineties. It was not cool.

1453
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 2: So because of this, the voters have been threatening to

1454
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 2: retaliate by pouring petrol into the ocean or just stabbing

1455
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 2: the with spears like Ahab and Moby Dick from Hell's Heart,

1456
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 2: I stab at thee for hate's sake. I spit my

1457
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 2: last breath at thee. We don't need that, So let's

1458
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 2: let science be the mediator here. Yes, science sort this

1459
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 2: situation out. So they've been recording the audio the whale

1460
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 2: songs to try and decipher what their true intent is

1461
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,560
Speaker 2: and how aggressive these killer whales truly are. And what

1462
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 2: they found was they're using their own unique dialect for

1463
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: these attacks, unlike any whale song or talk that's ever

1464
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,919
Speaker 2: been recorded before, just for these specific attacks. These whales

1465
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 2: are using a newly identified orca language learnt rather than

1466
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 2: something an eight and it's unique to this particular pod.

1467
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 2: In group, one researcher said, quote, until now they were

1468
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 2: thought to be very silent, but now we've learned that

1469
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 2: their culls are totally totally different than any others from

1470
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 2: a cultural conservation point of view, that's just amazing. It's

1471
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 2: like suddenly finding a new human language in the middle

1472
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 2: of Europe. Unquote. So the pod involved in these attacks

1473
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 2: and that's using the language is led by a big

1474
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 2: female killer whale named Gladys, and there's about fifteen whales

1475
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 2: that have been consistently seen going after the yacht clubs.

1476
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 2: According to the story. Also, sometimes these whales they just

1477
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 2: mimic each other's behavior even though the behavior serves no

1478
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 2: practical purpose, like they go through fads. They say there

1479
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 2: was a whale in the Pacific Northwest who in nineteen

1480
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 2: eighty seven was wearing a dead salmon on her head,

1481
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 2: and then other killer whales started doing the same thing.

1482
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 2: They think it could be a fad with what's going

1483
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 2: on with them attacking the boats and the rudder specifically

1484
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 2: because they've seen Gladys and the crew of the pod

1485
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,560
Speaker 2: get a runner free and then play with it. That

1486
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 2: rudder is just a fad to them, like it's a

1487
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 2: beanie baby or slap bracelet. So the conclusion right now

1488
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 2: is that it's all just whale play, and if they

1489
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 2: happen to sink your boat, it's not because they want

1490
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 2: to kill you. It's just collateral damage with their little

1491
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 2: game they're playing using that unique language they made up

1492
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 2: just for this game. But because of this new whale

1493
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 2: language being developed, it helps conservationists gather enough evidence for

1494
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: protecting the species, and this particular pod led by Gladys

1495
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: because they don't want the new killer whale language to

1496
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 2: be killed to die out. Here's some of the recording

1497
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 2: of it, with some voters freaking out afterwards. Listen to this.

1498
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god.

1499
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 10: It's huge.

1500
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 9: Please don't.

1501
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,560
Speaker 7: Yes, she's bumping us, she's hit, trying.

1502
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 9: To hit us with the side.

1503
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 2: Can I hear that one more time? Mark, I'm sorry.

1504
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to interpret what the whale is saying here.

1505
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 2: I think I have an idea. It's saying, haf you're yacht,

1506
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 2: HAF your yacht. I understand the language. That's what's happening.

1507
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, it's huge.

1508
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 7: Please don't. Yes, she's bumping us, she's hit, trying to

1509
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 7: hit us with the side.

1510
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,640
Speaker 2: Gladys and the girls going out of the yacht there, now,

1511
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 2: that would be terrifying. I don't mean to make light

1512
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 2: of it, but the whales are just playing. They want

1513
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 2: your rudder, they want your yacht. They want to play

1514
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 2: battleship out there. They're gonna sink your yacht. But at

1515
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 2: the Strait of Gibraltar, it's been an issue for some

1516
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 2: time now, and they're trying to figure this thing out.

1517
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 2: And Kevin and I talked about this like two months

1518
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 2: ago on the show, and we said we'd follow up,

1519
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 2: and they said they'd get sound from the whales, and

1520
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 2: they have, and they've identified an entire new language, like

1521
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 2: whales slang when it comes to these attacks on boats.

1522
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty fascinating. And the whole thing about

1523
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 2: the whales having fads wearing a fish like a scarf

1524
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 2: or like seaweed, I guess they'll just swim around with

1525
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 2: like it's fashionable or something like that, like the whales

1526
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 2: are on a runway, like I don't know, Free Willie.

1527
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna need another one coming up soon. Do we

1528
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 2: still have the Michael Jackson music mark? No, no, no, no,

1529
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 2: we don't got it, but I can still se Look,

1530
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 2: that was one of the great songs. I know it

1531
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 2: was by Michael Jackson. So we're not allowed to play

1532
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 2: it anymore. I know how these things go. I we

1533
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 2: used to play some mar Kelly here too. That's not

1534
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 2: gonna happen anymore. But we need something because I haven't

1535
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 2: got a good whale movie or documentary like Blackfish where

1536
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 2: you can learn more about how much they hate being

1537
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:24,560
Speaker 2: in captivity for a good ten years now. So please, Netflix,

1538
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,080

Speaker 2: we'll break down everything going on with the Lakers and

1559
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 2: the drama between Lebron James and Geenie bush Ah. But

1560
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about what happened on Monday

1561
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 2: night in the National Championship game Indiana Miami. So I'm

1562
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 2: watching the game, and before it even starts, right before kickoff,

1563
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm listening to Kirk Curbstreet talk about his dog and

1564
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:55,599
Speaker 2: Chris Fowler, and Fowler goes. Indiana's roster has an average

1565
01:21:55,760 --> 01:22:00,440
Speaker 2: age of twenty four, which is comparable to some NFL teams.

1566
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 2: The first thing I thought of when I heard that

1567
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 2: was the old saying old age and treachery will overcome

1568
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 2: youth and skill and exuberance every time. And I felt

1569
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 2: like I had been tricked, like I'd been fooled, hoodwinked.

1570
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 2: Remember that Stephen A. Smith rant, We've been hoodwinked, bamboozled.

1571
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 2: Let us stray, run amuck, and flat out deceived. That

1572
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 2: was pretty good. Wait a second, this is the all

1573
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 2: time college football run, the miracle on ice like moment

1574
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 2: of college football, the losing his program of all time

1575
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 2: is in the National championship game. Kurt Signetty told me

1576
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 2: their season would make for a pretty good movie.

1577
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty simple. I win Google me.

1578
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 2: I bought it all, hook line and sinker. But was

1579
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 2: I one of the fish in the barrel? Was I

1580
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 2: easy pickings for Indiana propaganda or to propagate this Cinderella

1581
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 2: story because I'm, you know, more of a college football

1582
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 2: casual than some. I hadn't looked into all the details yet,

1583
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 2: checked the books to see if they were cooked. Maybe

1584
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 2: David Slang didn't have a stone in it, but a

1585
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: hollow point bullet dipped in poison. And maybe David wasn't

1586
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 2: a lowly shepherd or shepherd, but a trained assassin with

1587
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 2: years of experience to refine his craft. I don't know.

1588
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to diminish Indiana's championship. It was a

1589
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 2: magical season. No one had gone sixteen and oh yet

1590
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 2: in modern college football, let alone the gauntlet of blue

1591
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 2: bloods they took on to get there. Wins over Ohio State,

1592
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 2: Bama oregan eventually Miami off of that Fernando Mendoza touchdown

1593
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 2: leap that should be like the new Heisman pose on

1594
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 2: the sculpture for the Trophy. It was that dramatic that touchdown.

1595
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 2: It was like a movie. It felt like Friday Night Lights.

1596
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 2: A buddy texted me and said, that was seven. That

1597
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:00,560
Speaker 2: was Matt Sarason from the show every Man. At some

1598
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 2: point in his life. He's gonna lose a battle. That's

1599
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 2: one of the most cinematic runs in the history of sports.

1600
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 2: It shows the fight, the will, the determination, the heart

1601
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 2: of a champion. That Rudy tom Janovic said about the

1602
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: re Houston Rockets. It defines all of that. But I'm

1603
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 2: pushing back a little bit against the guy who sits

1604
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 2: there dumbfounded it and says, how did Indiana do the

1605
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 2: impossible and turn around a program that fast in order

1606
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 2: to win the Natty? Well, maybe it wasn't so impossible.

1607
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 5: It's not even thinking remotely imaginable.

1608
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 2: Maybe stop listening to Paul Finebaum and dumbasses like that

1609
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 2: that don't understand modern college football and however, changing it

1610
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 2: has become. What Signetti did better than anyone else is

1611
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 2: just evolve faster, evolve or die, or evolve and thrive.

1612
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 2: In this case, what makes the run impressive isn't the

1613
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 2: fact that they reinvented any wheel. They didn't. They didn't

1614
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 2: crack any code, but they did find a sweet spot,

1615
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 2: the goldilocks spot there in the transfer portal with the

1616
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 2: nil It's not that if you just have older players

1617
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 2: going back to average age is twenty four on the team.

1618
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 2: It's not just you got the older players, you're going

1619
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 2: to win. It's as simple as.

1620
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: That getting old.

1621
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 2: Otherwise BYU would win every year. What Signetti did better

1622
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:34,599
Speaker 2: than anyone else is having that perfect blend of talent

1623
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 2: and age and a little bit of seasoning. Instead of

1624
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 2: trying to load up on the five star guys who

1625
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 2: weren't coming there anyways, now they might, you get a

1626
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 2: bunch of four stars some three stars. Make them the

1627
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 2: older players with more seasoning and more intelligence out there

1628
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 2: on the field, guys who are closer to peaking as

1629
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 2: football players right now. That initial three star recruit out

1630
01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 2: of high school with experience, after a few years in

1631
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 2: college might be playing like a five star freshman. So

1632
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 2: instead of skimming off the top of everybody else's best

1633
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:10,639
Speaker 2: players looking for that cream that rises to the top,

1634
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 2: Signetti said, I'm gonna go for those guys that would

1635
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 2: be more attainable, and we'll just get a ton of them. Now,

1636
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:19,919
Speaker 2: you may not have as many of the big plays,

1637
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: the game breaker guys, the highlight guys, but you're gonna

1638
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 2: win the turnover battle every time. You're gonna have the smart,

1639
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 2: mature players out there, guys who aren't gonna make the

1640
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 2: mistakes mistake. Signetti couldn't get the top recruits to defect,

1641
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:38,560
Speaker 2: but he could get the second and third guys that

1642
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 2: are older, and you sell them as being treated like

1643
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 2: the top guys at Indiana, get more of the expendables

1644
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 2: and overlooked older guys like who always had one guy

1645
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 2: more talented than them, one guy that had one more

1646
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 2: star than them coming out of high school in front

1647
01:26:55,479 --> 01:27:00,719
Speaker 2: of them. What happens is you might have less highighlight place,

1648
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,920
Speaker 2: but also less mistakes, and you get a bunch of

1649
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 2: motivated dogs because they weren't the guy. So even though

1650
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 2: they aren't five stars, they are older three stars, four

1651
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 2: star guys that came out and are more developed now.

1652
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 2: Now it might be better to have a three star

1653
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 2: senior or a super senior dudes in their fifth or

1654
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 2: sixth years in college due to COVID or the transfer

1655
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 2: rules than a five star freshman or a sophomore. I

1656
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 2: believe Indiana had twelve super seniors. Their safety Lewis Moore,

1657
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 2: was listed as a seventh year player because he was

1658
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:46,560
Speaker 2: in junior college for three years. First, he had to

1659
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,879
Speaker 2: file a lawsuit against the NCAA just to be eligible

1660
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 2: for this season. What are we doing here? If you

1661
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 2: go to Indiana's football's official website and click on the roster,

1662
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 2: you'll find guys, height, their weight. That's easy to see

1663
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 2: those big old women. The height, weight, the position they play,

1664
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:15,759
Speaker 2: what year they're in. That's all there. That's on the website.

1665
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 2: Good luck finding their actual age.

1666
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 7: Now.

1667
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't think this is unusual for any other college's website.

1668
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 2: They purposefully don't make it easily accessible because maybe that

1669
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 2: would diminish their accomplishments, or it might turn off NFL

1670
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 2: scouts when they see how old their guys are, which

1671
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 2: would tell you these guys probably already hit their ceilings

1672
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 2: as players. No, I'm not saying that Indiana had the

1673
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 2: oldest team in the league. They didn't that that would

1674
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:50,600
Speaker 2: be false. They were ranked sixteenth there. They didn't have

1675
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 2: a top twenty five nil player either. They were ranked

1676
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 2: seventy second overall in talent composition and if you look

1677
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 2: at the betting odds at the beginning of the season,

1678
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 2: they were at one hundred to one for them to

1679
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:09,799
Speaker 2: win it all odds even though they made the playoff,

1680
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 2: the twelve team playoff last year, but people doubted them.

1681
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 2: But I think what Signetti did was he found that

1682
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 2: right balance of just enough talented guys mixed with more seasoned,

1683
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: savvy guys. Because they were older, which means there was

1684
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 2: also more tape on them, so you could see if

1685
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 2: they fit your scheme, system, your philosophy. You have a

1686
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 2: better chance of finding out if that guy is going

1687
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 2: to be a perfect fit if you already have three

1688
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:36,600
Speaker 2: or four years of film on them. It's smart, a

1689
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 2: smart mother, that's right. I'm not trying to take credit

1690
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 2: away from Indiana at all or Signetti. I wouldn't do

1691
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 2: that credit. I do think, though, as time passes, the

1692
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 2: story about Indiana's quote unquote miracle season will be more

1693
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 2: centered around them just being ahead of the curve, seeing

1694
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 2: a loophole in the system with the transfer portal, and

1695
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 2: doing it better than anyone else, earlier than anyone else.

1696
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say they abused the loophole. I'm

1697
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 2: just also not going to sit here dumbfounded wondering how

1698
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 2: they did it. This was not Hawaii with the late

1699
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 2: Colt Brennan actually beating Georgia. They did not. They weren't close.

1700
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 2: That would have been the Cinderella story. This also wasn't

1701
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,839
Speaker 2: the Fab Five or something quite the opposite. Older teams

1702
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 2: usually win. Guys are more physically developed, more savvy. How

1703
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,560
Speaker 2: many times do freshmen beat varsity in high school like

1704
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,759
Speaker 2: look at the rookie versus sophomore game history in the NBA.

1705
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 2: Even just guys that were a year older won the

1706
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 2: majority of those matchups, even in cases where the freshman

1707
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 2: class was more talented. Indiana they shouldn't be known as

1708
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 2: some little engine that could team. They should be known

1709
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 2: as one of the most dominant teams ever that were

1710
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 2: quicker on the uptake, with understanding modern college football and

1711
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 2: how fast you could piece together a great team and

1712
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 2: coach them up to win it all. Trust me, other

1713
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 2: teams have tried. They tried what they did this year,

1714
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 2: and those teams failed. Indiana did what others did and

1715
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 2: were just better. Signetty is an elite coach. Yeah, it's

1716
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 2: pretty simple.

1717
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 4: I win. Google me.

1718
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 2: They got special performances but they won't be the last

1719
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:18,560
Speaker 2: piece together team with massive roster overhaul to have a

1720
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 2: major turnaround in one season. They'll just be the first

1721
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 2: and maybe the best, since they did go sixteen and

1722
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 2: oher with all those signature wins. It's an incredible story.

1723
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to demystify it. I just can't ignore

1724
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 2: how different the modern game is compared to the last

1725
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 2: fifty years. You can't compare it. That wouldn't make sense.

1726
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to compare this Indiana team to the

1727
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 2: next ten to fifteen years and beyond. Probably maybe they

1728
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 2: were trailblazers, maybe they were more of an outlier. But

1729
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 2: don't say we've never seen anything like this before when

1730
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:52,519
Speaker 2: obviously the parameters weren't set up with the portal and

1731
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 2: nil for this type of thing to be possible to

1732
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 2: happen before. But Indiana was the first to do this

1733
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,200
Speaker 2: success fully at least, and you can never take that

1734
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 2: away from them. It's a hell of a championship and

1735
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 2: a hell of a turnaround. I'm Adam Asland. This is

1736
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 2: FNA on Fox Sports Radio. FNA Cotton, have you ever

1737
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,719
Speaker 2: wiped with a piece of dry toilet paper and wondered,

1738
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 2: is this as good as it gets? It's not switched

1739

Speaker 2: to life changing wet extra large flushable Dude Wipes because

Speaker 2: retailers nationwide. Dude Wipes best clean pants down Coming up next,

1742
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:37,719
Speaker 2: there was a scathing article about the Lakers Genie Buss,

1743
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:42,600
Speaker 2: the Bus family. It reads like an episode of succession

1744
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 2: and it makes me long for the days of winning

1745
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:47,560
Speaker 2: time on HBO, which only got two seasons when we

1746
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:50,679
Speaker 2: probably could have had twenty five or thirty. If any

1747
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,679
Speaker 2: of this story is true, we'll tell you who comes

1748
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 2: out looking better between the Lakers, Genie Bus and Lebron James. Next,

1749
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 2: I'm out of Moslim and this is FNA on Fox

Speaker 10: I'm sorry I wasn't listening.

1756
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 2: Fna Cotton, Oh, well, it's radio. Bree thinks she's really

1757
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 2: clever theming these things out.

1758
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 9: It's so funny. Okay, anyways, so funny.

1759
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm out of Maslin. This is FNA on

1760
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 2: FSR FNA Cotton coming up in a bit, we'll have

1761
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 2: Breeze three. I'll also give my picks for the NFC

1762
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 2: and AFC Championship game. But there was an article that

1763
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:49,599
Speaker 2: came out a couple of days ago, Yeah, involving Lebron, James,

1764
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 2: Guenie Buss, the Lakers. They hadn't been in the news enough.

1765
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 10: I don't know.

1766
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 2: People were getting bored. The NBA needed a story, the

1767
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 2: Lakers needed drama. There's nothing like that Lakers drama. It

1768
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 2: was basically an article that was doing an autopsy of

1769
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:09,400
Speaker 2: the sale of the team from the Bus family to

1770
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 2: Mark Walter by Baxter Homes of ESPN, and it was

1771
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 2: not very flattering to Genie Buss. And it even had

1772
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,679
Speaker 2: her telling one of her brothers, you shouldn't have been born.

1773
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:27,879
Speaker 2: That's what the article says. It's well sourced in everything.

1774
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 2: Full disclosure. I've met Genie a few different times and

1775
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 2: she was a sweetheart. She was wonderful, kind, caring, gracious,

1776
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:39,840
Speaker 2: couldn't have been more down to earth. I was shocked

1777
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 2: by some of the stuff I read here, But the

1778
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:46,600
Speaker 2: crux of it is this, and I'll read it to you,

1779
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 2: and this is the divide or possible schism between her

1780
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 2: and the Lakers. And I know she is a great businesswoman,

1781
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,799
Speaker 2: and when you have to make tough decisions in this position,

1782
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:04,760
Speaker 2: sometimes family issues like this can get in the way.

1783
01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 2: And honestly, reading this whole thing, it was sad in

1784
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 2: some ways. But I'll just read this excerpt from the

1785
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 2: article about Genie Bush quote. She came to be known

1786
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 2: in some circles for turning against those who were close

1787
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 2: to her and dear to the franchise. She had done

1788
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 2: so to Jerry West, she had done so to her

1789
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 2: brother Jim, and team sources told ESPN she even began

1790
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 2: to turn against the Lakers star player Lebron James. Genie

1791
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 2: privately grumbled, people close to the team say about what

1792
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 2: she felt was James's outsized ego and overt control that

1793
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,639
Speaker 2: he and Clutch Sports, which represents both James and Anthony Davis,

1794
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 2: exerted over the organization at times. She didn't like that

1795
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 2: James was considered a savior for a floundering franchise when

1796
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 2: he arrived in twenty eighteen, and that it was he

1797
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 2: who chose the Lakers rather than the team's leadership, receiving

1798
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:04,680
Speaker 2: praise for landing him. Team sources have been adamant for

1799
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 2: years that James's camp informed the Lakers as early as

1800
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen that he was coming to join them when

1801
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,799
Speaker 2: he became a free agent the following year. The distance

1802
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 2: between Jeanie and James widened after the Lakers traded for

1803
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:21,719
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook in July of twenty twenty one. People close

1804
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 2: to the team said the team had made the trade

1805
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,720
Speaker 2: in an effort to appease James, but the acquisition backfired

1806
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 2: in catastrophic fashion. LA went thirty three and forty nine,

1807
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:33,800
Speaker 2: missed the playoffs. James seemed to wash his hands of

1808
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 2: his role in the acquisition. Genie privately bristled about what

1809
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:40,920
Speaker 2: she felt was his lack of accountability and the way

1810
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:44,519
Speaker 2: Lebron James would ship blame onto others after the Westbrook trade,

1811
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 2: people said in twenty twenty two, in the aftermath of

1812
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 2: the Westbrook trade, multiple people said Genie privately mused about

1813
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:54,680
Speaker 2: not giving James a contract extension, and later that year

1814
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 2: even about trading James with the LA Clippers floated as

1815
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 2: a possibility. This was before James received that no trade

1816
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:05,600
Speaker 2: clause he got in July of twenty twenty four to

1817
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 2: your deal one hundred and four million dollars contract. Now,

1818
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 2: when the Lakers drafted James his son, Bronni James, with

1819
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 2: the fifty fifth pick in the twenty twenty four draft,

1820
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 2: Genie privately remarked that James should be grateful for such

1821
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:22,360
Speaker 2: a gesture, but she felt that he wasn't, people close

1822
01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 2: to the team told ESPN. Finally that summer, as she

1823
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:29,679
Speaker 2: discussed a new contract with James, Genie seemed more resigned

1824
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,320
Speaker 2: to the fact that they'd have to do it, almost

1825
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:36,479
Speaker 2: begrudgingly accepting that they'd take a massive pr hit by

1826
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 2: not doing so. All Right, So this whole idea of

1827
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 2: who saved who? Did Lebron James saved the Lakers, or

1828
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:49,679
Speaker 2: did the Lakers put themselves in a position by being

1829
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 2: one of the pristine, prestigious franchises in all of sports

1830
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 2: to get somebody like Lebron James. Well, if you want

1831
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 2: my opinion, all I know is this. When Lebron James

1832
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 2: came over in the summer of twenty eighteen, the Lakers

1833
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 2: were in disarray. They had averaged twenty five wins per

1834
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 2: season for five straight years, and if you were living

1835
01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 2: in southern California during this time, especially after Magic Johnson

1836
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 2: unceremoniously resigned.

1837
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 4: From Los Angeles. It's the Magic hour them glad of

1838
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:42,880
Speaker 4: the hour.

1839
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be here, That's what he said when

1840
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 2: he resigned. People probably wanted him to leave the Magic

1841
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 2: Hour faster than he did. Ill fated idea a little bit.

1842
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:03,639
Speaker 2: But at that time in southern California, for hours every

1843
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 2: day on local stations here for at least two months,

1844
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 2: I'm not exaggerating. This is not hyperbolic. The Lakers were

1845
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 2: being called a dumpster fire of an organization. That was

1846
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:21,799
Speaker 2: Lebron's first year. Magic and Rob Polenka apparently didn't get along.

1847
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 2: Magic aired him out on first take. Next to Stephen A. Smith,

1848
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 2: the guy who was working with in Rob Polenka, it

1849
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 2: was a mess. It was a disaster. They were rudderless,

1850
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 2: like the Orcas had gotten to the rudder. It was

1851
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 2: Orca nineteen seventy seven. It was a complete and utter

1852
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 2: disaster and unmitigated disaster the Lakers organization. Now you can say, well,

1853
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 2: Lebron was already there for that first year. Okay, Clutch

1854
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 2: had already infected the organization. They already brought in Lebron.

1855
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 2: But what they do after that, well, they made a

1856
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 2: pretty big trade. They went and got Anthony Davis and

1857
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 2: shipped out the young players. You're out, and everybody could

1858
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 2: see it coming for a while. Ad at the end

1859
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 2: with the Pelicans was wearing that's all, folks, he was

1860
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 2: wearing that T shirt. Remember that he was letting him

1861
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:23,080
Speaker 2: know he was on his way out. Clutch Orchestra at

1862
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 2: all of this. So the idea that the Lakers were

1863
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:32,720
Speaker 2: in a good place before Clutch and Lebron, uh, that

1864
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 2: doesn't hold true to me. Five straight years of averaging

1865
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 2: twenty five wins per game, and it wasn't like they

1866
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 2: were drafting guys that went on to become number one

1867
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 2: options on championship teams or anything like that. This wasn't

1868
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 2: SGA going to OKC. Josh Hart, good role player. Julius Randall.

1869
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's a number two on

1870
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,640
Speaker 2: a championship team. In fact, I would say he's probably not. No,

1871
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 2: I think eventually. Side note, Anthony Edwards is going to

1872
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 2: ask out of Minnesota because he doesn't have enough help there.

1873
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 2: Lonzo Ball too many injuries, D'Angelo Russell not a good

1874
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:22,560
Speaker 2: enough player. Brandon Ingram also just to cut below of

1875
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 2: where you'd want him, maybe a number three on a

1876
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 2: championship team. Somewhere in there. All these guys that they

1877
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:33,760
Speaker 2: were giving up and shipped out, you're out. I don't

1878
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 2: think it necessarily hurt them. I don't think it was

1879
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 2: the wrong move to get Anthony Davis. And they got

1880
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis through Lebron. So you had this franchise that

1881
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 2: didn't have a direction. After Kobe Bryant retired, and really

1882
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:55,640
Speaker 2: after Kobe Bryant tore his achilles, they couldn't bring in

1883
01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:01,680
Speaker 2: anybody that they had tried to woo, remember Kobe in

1884
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:05,720
Speaker 2: those meetings, Dwight Howard, LaMarcus Oldridge. They thought they were

1885
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,639
Speaker 2: gonna get mellow. Maybe at one point every free agent

1886
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 2: was turning them down, and Lebron chose to come there.

1887
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 2: He threw him a life preserver. He was the life raft.

1888
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 2: Who else was coming If it wasn't going to be Lebron,

1889
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 2: what was the alternative? They just continue to build with

1890
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 2: the young guys, hope they get better. I mean, we've

1891
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:33,639
Speaker 2: seen again how those guys and their careers turned out

1892
01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 2: bad players. But they didn't draft a foundational cornerstone franchise

1893
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:41,240
Speaker 2: player that you could make your number one on a

1894
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 2: championship team there, So getting Anthony Davis and bringing him

1895
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:52,760
Speaker 2: in in the summer of twenty nineteen and clutch orchestrating

1896
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 2: all that with Lebron James, I'd say it worked out

1897
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 2: pretty well for the Lakers. Hey, if you want to

1898
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 2: point out that they only won in the bubble in Orlando,

1899
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 2: fake championship, Mickey mouse ring, all these things, just know

1900
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 2: they had the number one record in the league before

1901
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:13,360
Speaker 2: the COVID shutdown. They had just beat the Clippers and

1902
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:17,320
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks over the weekend, right before Rudy Gobert

1903
01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 2: started rubbing his hands all over the microphones and making

1904
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 2: a joke of it and then apologize later and the

1905
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:28,719
Speaker 2: league shut down. Like, Yeah, I don't think they became

1906
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:32,000
Speaker 2: a championship team just because they were in the bubble.

1907
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 2: The Lakers were really good and considered the favorite to

1908
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 2: win it at the time they shut down. Now, if

1909
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 2: you want to go after shooting splits in the bubble

1910
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 2: with Anthony Davis, who has never been able to shoot

1911
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 2: as well as he did in Orlando, where he was

1912
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 2: at thirty eight percent on three pointers and fifty on

1913
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 2: long twos. Yeah, there's something to that, but still he

1914
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 2: was great. They were great, and anybody who won that

1915
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 2: championship would defend it till the death, as Laker fans do.

1916
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 2: I have to admit that, but I know it would

1917
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 2: have happened if the Clippers won that championship. People have

1918
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 2: said Clippers first championship came in the bubble, that doesn't count.

1919
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 2: Come on, are you kidding me? I mean people discredit

1920
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:16,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers winning it, and they already had what sixteen seventeen,

1921
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:21,760
Speaker 2: and again they looked like the best team when things

1922
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 2: were shutting down. Maybe they were aided by the shutdown

1923
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 2: because they had older players and Anthony Davis had time

1924
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 2: to rejuvenate before the league opened back up. Maybe, but

1925
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 2: either way, that was a much more successful run what

1926
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 2: we've seen over the last six seven years with Lebron James.

1927
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 2: Even if you think it's been underwhelming his time with

1928
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 2: the Lakers, let's go back to what it was before him.

1929
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 2: Twenty five wins per season. They didn't look like the

1930
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:57,320
Speaker 2: Lakers anymore. So don't tell me that he didn't do

1931
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 2: good things for this organization. And if this article is true,

1932
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 2: I think I would begrudgingly, reluctantly, I'd have to side

1933
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 2: with Lebron here a little bit. I don't want to,

1934
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 2: but I think he did more for the Lakers than

1935
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,040
Speaker 2: they were able to do for him. I haven't liked

1936
01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 2: a lot of the moves by Rob Polenka. Oh, but

1937
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 2: that's that's Lebron James. It's always convenient if it ends

1938
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 2: up being a bad move at Lebron. If it's a

1939
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 2: good move. It's Rod Polenka, who I think is gonna

1940
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 2: be on the hot seat sooner than later here with

1941
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 2: the new ownership and Mark Walter, this seat is going

1942
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 2: to be hot. It will be, But I'm sorry. Stars

1943
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:45,719
Speaker 2: weren't coming to the Lakers at that time, and Lebron

1944
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:49,760
Speaker 2: did arguably the best player in the league, arguably the

1945
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:53,839
Speaker 2: best player ever. I remember standing out of Blaze Pizza

1946
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:57,200
Speaker 2: waiting for him one day here in southern California to

1947
01:45:57,320 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 2: do some reporting, to be bent on the scene here,

1948
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,640
Speaker 2: and he never showed up. After he tweeted out like

1949
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 2: the emoji eyes of whoo something going on here today,

1950
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 2: Like he was a sponsor for them, or he was

1951
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 2: affiliated with Blaze Pizza, so everybody thought he was gonna

1952
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:21,160
Speaker 2: show up. That didn't happen. That's actual audio from somebody

1953
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:24,680
Speaker 2: that I interviewed there that was upset as there was

1954
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:28,080
Speaker 2: about five hundred people outside of Blaze Pizza waiting for

1955
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 2: Lebron the summer of twenty nineteen show up just based

1956
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 2: off a cryptic tweet. Yeah, where was here?

1957
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1958
01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 2: I thought after his first season or no, that was

1959
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 2: summer twenty eighteen when he first arrived. I thought after

1960
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 2: that first year it was the curse of Blaze Pizza.

1961
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 2: He got hurt, he had the abdominal injury. I think

1962
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 2: they won thirty something games. They started off hot, but

1963
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 2: then they cooled off real quick. When Lebron got hurt.

1964
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, it's the Blaze Pizza curse. It's karma.

1965
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 2: He never showed up that day, but Cabod, it's a

1966
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 2: player's league, this whole thing about Lakers excellence, and he

1967
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 2: came because they're the Lakers. Well, there's sumptrue to that,

1968
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 2: because as he talked about yesterday being questioned about this,

1969
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 2: after the Clippers beat the Lakers into a dumb Yeah,

1970
01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 2: I was there. They were up by twenty six. It

1971
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:26,840
Speaker 2: was down to a two point game. With five minutes

1972
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 2: left to cut a little bit sketchy, but the Clippers

1973
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,719
Speaker 2: pulled through. A Lebron post game was asked about the article,

1974
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 2: talked about he thought they were good, and he and

1975
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 2: Jeanie he said not to read too much into these things,

1976
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 2: not to make too much of them. I think is

1977
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 2: something he said, Mark that don't make something out of it.

1978
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to make anything more out of the

1979
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 2: article than they're saying here. And I prefaced it with

1980
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, and take Baxter Holmes word for it.

1981
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 2: It was pretty well sourced. It chronicled the bus fan

1982
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 2: At a microscopic, granular level, things didn't necessarily want to

1983
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 2: hear about things that were as dramatic as apparently Genie

1984
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 2: telling one of her brothers you should have never been born, harsh, cold, callous.

1985
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:23,639
Speaker 2: But the articles the article for argument's sake, if we're

1986
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:28,679
Speaker 2: going off of that and we're accepting that as true, well,

1987
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can be too upset with

1988
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 2: Lebron James and how much he helped the organization. I

1989
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,759
Speaker 2: don't know if they should feel too bitter towards Clutch

1990
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 2: because nobody else was coming at that time. They were

1991
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:44,720
Speaker 2: a desolate wasteland. They weren't getting free agents, they had

1992
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 2: no direction. It was not Laker's greatness, and it hadn't

1993
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 2: been for a bit, you know. I know the kids

1994
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 2: took over long before Jerry Buss died, really and they

1995
01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 2: thought they had a lot more ownership over the twenty

1996
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 2: ten ring. But the Lakers were still operating like everybody

1997
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:08,759
Speaker 2: else was the farm system for them, and superstar players

1998
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 2: were eventually going to show up, and they were dragged

1999
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 2: into the twenty first century with analytics and staying ahead

2000
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,360
Speaker 2: of the curve and being on top of things and

2001
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 2: winning on the margins. And it took them a long time.

2002
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:24,800
Speaker 2: And I think they're there that now was scouting and

2003
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 2: analytics department stuff, and I like JJ Reddick, and they

2004
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,679
Speaker 2: ended up with the windfall of Luka Doncic because Nico

2005
01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 2: Harrison was a fool. I'm a dumbass, and Lakers always

2006
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 2: land on their feet. Again. You're winning twenty five games

2007
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 2: per year, it looked like they had they were going

2008
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 2: nowhere fast, and then Lebron James shows up at your doorstep.

2009
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 2: I witnessed them getting a gift, and it's happening again

2010
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 2: with Luka Doncic. Now, right now, I think they've lost.

2011
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:00,320
Speaker 2: Think they're seven to ten their last seventeen game, something

2012
01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 2: like that. They're not playing good basketball. I don't consider

2013
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:07,519
Speaker 2: them a contender. Lebron James is forty one. If you

2014
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 2: want to be critical and say his time with the Lakers,

2015
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 2: they won one bubble ring. What did it really mean?

2016
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:21,080
Speaker 2: He didn't fulfill his promise? Well, what was their alternative?

2017
01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:23,760
Speaker 2: Do they have a better plan? What was option B?

2018
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that this was a good thing that

2019
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,920
Speaker 2: happened to them overall, Lebron coming here and they got

2020
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,599
Speaker 2: to play ball with Brich Paul in Clutch Sports, because

2021
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 2: they got like fifteen percent of the players in the

2022
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 2: league that are their clients that are part of their agency.

2023
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 2: So I don't think they want this story to go

2024
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:48,280
Speaker 2: too far. And Genie put out a statement and she

2025
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 2: didn't like the family being dragged or Lebron being dragged

2026
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: into family business and all these things being said, and

2027
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:57,679
Speaker 2: she said the right things there. It was perfectly crafted.

2028
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 2: But they were like Purple and Fool's Gold for a while.

2029
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 2: And I think Lebron did a lot more good than

2030
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:09,800
Speaker 2: horm considering what else were the Lakers going to do

2031
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 2: with that time. I didn't see things getting better, really

2032
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 2: tall part of the plan? What plan? Go back to

2033
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:23,519
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen? What plan? It was a mess?

2034
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 4: Uh?

2035
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 7: What does? Dead?

2036
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 2: May never die? Like you? You couldn't break it anymore

2037
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:38,280
Speaker 2: than it already was. Lebron did nothing but help them,

2038
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 2: maybe not as much as people had hoped, maybe because

2039
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:44,559
Speaker 2: some Lakers fans are more Kobe fans than anything else.

2040
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 2: And before he even played a game for them, they

2041
01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:51,719
Speaker 2: were defacing murals and saying fate King. I haven't forgotten

2042
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 2: all that. They've been looking for reasons to hate Lebron,

2043
01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:59,519
Speaker 2: to say he didn't fulfill his end of the bargain.

2044
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 2: But again, the Lakers were probably fortunate to get them

2045
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 2: to begin with. I'm at a Maslin, this is Fox

01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 7: Okay.

2091
01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 9: So it was the twenty years.

2092
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:25,840
Speaker 2: That's the next sound drop. Anything you say, ken and

2093
01:54:25,960 --> 01:54:27,120
Speaker 2: will be used to guess to you.

2094
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:28,559
Speaker 9: It's so funny. Okay.

2095
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 3: Anyways, Sorry, it's a twenty year And it was a

2096
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 3: twenty year anniversary a few days ago of Kobe A

2097
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 3: scoring eighty one points against the Raptors. So it kind

2098
01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:41,360
Speaker 3: of got me thinking, what are some like historic memorable

2099
01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 3: moments that we have all kind of like lived through

2100
01:54:44,560 --> 01:54:48,000
Speaker 3: and like you know, seen and witnessed and really like enjoyed.

2101
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 3: So I'll kind of just stay in LA and kind

2102
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 3: of just Kobe for me. Not that I'm a Lakers

2103
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:55,160
Speaker 3: fan and I kind of don't care, but when he

2104
01:54:55,320 --> 01:54:58,160
Speaker 3: retired in twenty sixteen, that was like a huge deal.

2105
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:01,520
Speaker 3: Like that game against the Nugget It's well.

2106
01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 9: Already it was.

2107
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 2: Against the Utah Jazz. It was such a big deal.

2108
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 2: I didn't remember what team he was playing.

2109
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, in April, oh against the Jazz.

2110
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 2: Similar colors in some ways.

2111
01:55:14,920 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 9: Whatever, Sure, I was busy in the moment.

2112
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 3: Okay, anyways, anyways, but it was very memorable for me

2113
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 3: in the okay, anyway.

2114
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:24,600
Speaker 2: That's game winner he met at the end.

2115
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:30,879
Speaker 3: Yes, there was great anyway, So that was very memorable

2116
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 3: that I totally remembered the Drew Brees breaking the passing

2117
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 3: record in twenty eighteen against the Commanders.

2118
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,480
Speaker 2: Wasn't against Zembra Nuggets, huh, No, it was then?

2119
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 9: It was against the Commanders.

2120
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, is that their name back then? I don't know.

2121
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:47,920
Speaker 2: Was it against the Commanders, Wow, I'm not going to

2122
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 2: say it was against Washington.

2123
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 3: It was against the Washington Washington football team, and it

2124
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:55,760
Speaker 3: was again tray Coon Smith actually caught that ball and

2125
01:55:55,800 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 3: that was kind of like, how are we going to

2126
01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:57,520
Speaker 3: remember this guy?

2127
01:55:57,640 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 9: So that was very memorable to me.

2128
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 3: And obviously, as again a Saints fan two thousand and six,

2129
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:07,880
Speaker 3: that Monday night game against the Falcon, Steve Gleason blocked

2130
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 3: the punt.

2131
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 2: That was amazing.

2132
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:11,240
Speaker 3: That was incredible and I got to like live through

2133
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 3: that so and see that and memory and you know,

2134
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:14,280
Speaker 3: remember it.

2135
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 2: So three memorable moments that are personalized.

2136
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:20,080
Speaker 3: For you a little bit because I feel like a

2137
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 3: lot of people witnessed the eighty one point game and

2138
01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 3: they were you know, it's a big deal this week,

2139
01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:24,760
Speaker 3: So mark.

2140
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 2: Over to you.

2141
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:31,600
Speaker 10: So the first one obviously bears eighty five. What did

2142
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 10: they do the I don't know, had a had a

2143
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:38,080
Speaker 10: skit on Saturday Night Live and something like that. But

2144
01:56:38,200 --> 01:56:41,080
Speaker 10: other than that, that was good. And then the White

2145
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:44,839
Speaker 10: Sox two thousand and five, they just they basically spanked

2146
01:56:44,960 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 10: everybody in the playoffs all the way to the World Series.

2147
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 10: People don't bring that up enough. That's why I'm here

2148
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 10: to do that, and you've got the hat on to

2149
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 10: prove it absolutely. The White Sox ad and then the

2150
01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 10: third one, it's just it was great to watch Julius

2151
01:56:59,760 --> 01:57:03,240
Speaker 10: Earl go from the ABA and then actually win with

2152
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:05,200
Speaker 10: the Sixers in the NBA.

2153
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 9: That was a great That's a big deal.

2154
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,720
Speaker 2: Was that eighty two over the Lakers? Somewhere said eighty

2155
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:12,720
Speaker 2: three eighty three? Okay, that was a big deal. That's

2156
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 2: just does my three cradle cradled it rocked the baby

2157
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:19,960
Speaker 2: on that big donkey head. I remember. It was a

2158
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 2: big deal, all right. My three plays that helped define

2159
01:57:25,480 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 2: my sports fandom, well, my most recent one is Kawhi

2160
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 2: going for forty five in a must win game in

2161
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:36,080
Speaker 2: Dallas in twenty twenty one in the first round of

2162
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Clippers backs against the wall. They're on the road.

2163
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:43,520
Speaker 2: Fans were back in the arena for the first time

2164
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:48,440
Speaker 2: since COVID for this playoff series. The Clippers, Uh, it

2165
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:51,640
Speaker 2: felt like a crossroads type of moment. They lose this game,

2166
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 2: they were gonna blow the whole thing up because they

2167
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:57,839
Speaker 2: would have been bounced from the playoffs again in horrific fashion.

2168
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 2: And Kawhi drops forty five points and out duels Luka

2169
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 2: Doncic on the road in front of the Dallas Mavericks fans.

2170
01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 2: Another one I was at this game, so it's personal

2171
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 2: to me. I saw Chris Weber's highest scoring game back

2172
01:58:11,400 --> 01:58:13,000
Speaker 2: at our Co Arena. I want to say it was

2173
01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 2: two thousand and one against the Indiana Pacers. He had

2174
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:19,960
Speaker 2: fifty two points. The game went into overtime. The Kings

2175
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:24,040
Speaker 2: did lose who but I was there and it was

2176
01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 2: all time scoring high and being a Sacramento Kings fan

2177
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 2: growing up, that was kind of a big deal for me.

2178
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 2: And then lastly, Steve Smith senior before he was senior,

2179
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 2: punked the Bears in a second round divisional matchup in

2180
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 2: two thousand and six, six after there was a ton

2181
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 2: of smack talk earlier in the week between him. I mean,

2182
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,520
Speaker 2: it's involved Steve Smith, so of course there would be

2183
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:50,200
Speaker 2: Chris Harris a defensive back, then Charles Tillman, Peanut Tillman,

2184
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 2: and the first play off a game was like a

2185
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:54,920
Speaker 2: fifty yard bomb from Jake Dell home to Steve Smith

2186
01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 2: and he ended up with two hundred and eighteen yards

2187
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. Panthers got the victory. They went on

2188
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:05,400
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship game. But yeah, Steve Smith backed

2189
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 2: up his talk in a big way and I loved it.

2190
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:11,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're like the biggest t smith fan.

2191
01:59:11,240 --> 01:59:13,800
Speaker 2: I know for sure there's some pretty big ones. You'd

2192
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 2: be surprised. He's a pretty big Steve Smiths fan himself.

2193
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 2: I think sure love him all right. Thank you, Brie,

2194
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 2: Good breeze three. Before we get out of here quickly.

2195
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:26,840
Speaker 2: You got to get to see your NFL picks here.

2196
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:27,560
Speaker 7: I think.

2197
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 2: I believe Kevin picked up a game on me last week.

2198
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:34,000
Speaker 2: One of them we tied, but one of them he

2199
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:37,040
Speaker 2: got the win on I took the loss. I have

2200
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 2: to be honest about that, scouts honor. So I think

2201
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with both dogs this week. I like

2202
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 2: Danver getting plus four at home even without Bo Nicks.

2203
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 10: Uh.

2204
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:52,800
Speaker 2: Sidham can do enough, I think to be a game

2205
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 2: manager out there. With how good their defense is and

2206
01:59:55,760 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 2: what Drake may turn the ball over the way he

2207
01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:00,880
Speaker 2: has so far in the playoffs and Denver being at

2208
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:03,120
Speaker 2: home tough place to play, I think they can cover

2209
02:00:03,600 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Denver plus four and then the Rams plus two and

2210
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 2: a half on the road in Seattle. Yes, they lost

2211
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:12,400
Speaker 2: there in that overtime game we referenced earlier on Thursday

2212
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Night Football, but I think the Rams are the better team,

2213
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 2: and as I mentioned, I don't know if you want

2214
02:00:18,640 --> 02:00:22,720
Speaker 2: to trust Sam Darnold. Matt Stafford was perfect and not

2215
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:25,160
Speaker 2: turning the ball over last time against them. This is

2216
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:26,960
Speaker 2: the rubber match. I'll take the Rams plus two and

2217
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:30,800
Speaker 2: a half. I'm Adam Osland. You've been listening to the

2218
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 2: f and a takeover of Fox Sports Radio. Don't worry,

2219
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:36,200
Speaker 2: Kevin's back next week.
