The Clippers aren't going over the top. 242 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: The Clippers, it's gonna be the same. They'll win forty 243 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: five to fifty games, and they'll lose in the first 244 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs because they're built around guys who 245 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: are forty five years old. That's what's gonna happen for 246 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: the Clippers. Okay, I just tell you right away. That's 247 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: how the Clippers go. Not that many though, but not 248 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: that not that many. It's not like you are almost 249 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: thirty and I said forty nine. These guys are all 250 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: thirty five. They're a wells at four, like they're getting 251 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: there like this is how the Clippers are gonna go 252 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: really okay, great. 253 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 5: Now I will get him credit a couple of moves 254 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 5: that they make and bringing in Lopez, they get rid 255 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 5: of Norman Powell, who should have been an All Star, 256 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: had a great year, all of those things, but you 257 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: get Beal on a two year, eleven million dollar deal. 258 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 5: Second year is an option player options, So if he 259 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 5: plays well, guess what he's gonna go sign someplace else 260 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 5: or the Clippers have decided, yes, you are the missing 261 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 5: piece and we move forward. The other part of it, 262 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 5: thirteen point nine million give back for over those final 263 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 5: two years. The wave and stretch like they did with 264 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 5: Dame Lillard over in Milwaukee, means about nineteen point two 265 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 5: per year on the books for him for Phoenix for 266 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 5: the next five years. But they're able to go Vegas 267 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 5: blackjack dealer and say beat it and away he goes. 268 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 4: But you're actually. 269 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 5: Gonna get a guy in a system where there are 270 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 5: some expectations. Phoenix had to a point, but the Wizards 271 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 5: were what I mean, that's empty stats, right, that's empty calories. 272 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 5: That's sitting down at the couch with a bag of 273 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: chips and before you know what, you're at the end 274 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 5: of the bag of chip. Sure you got past the air, 275 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 5: but you still ingested three thousand galleries because you can't 276 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 5: stop it just one and you're watching TV. 277 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 4: You're not paying attention. 278 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 5: That's like playing for the Wizards, and to a degree, 279 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 5: playing for the Suns the last couple of years, like 280 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 5: when is this gonna end? I mean, all three of 281 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 5: those guys, we're just sitting around looking at each other, 282 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 5: like really, this this is what we're doing. 283 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 4: It was the. 284 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 5: Spider Man's meme of all right, who's taking the blame 285 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 5: for this loss? And why won't you wave your no 286 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 5: trade clause? Why aren't you willing to move? And Devin 287 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 5: Booker's over there. But here's what I agree with you. 288 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 5: In Phoenix, it's okay, who do we blame for the loss? 289 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 4: What happened? In Washington, it's hey, I have no idea 290 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: what's been going on? 291 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 3: What what? 292 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 4: What? What's the season? Because no one pays it no. 293 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: But here it's still going by and James Harden and 294 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 5: their failures. Bradley Beal gets to get out of jail 295 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 5: free card so you can just go and play basketball. 296 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: Kenny though, Kenny, Kenny, Well, but that's the question can 297 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 5: he played basket? 298 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm saying he's freed. 299 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 5: Up of any of the the extra So look, you're 300 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 5: not turning back the clock to when he was. 301 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 4: Actually a really good player. I'm not suggesting that at all. 302 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 5: But at five point five million dollars, it keeps you 303 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 5: out of any of the dreaded second aprons and all 304 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 5: that other nonsense that we have to skirt around these days. 305 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 5: And for the Clippers it's the long term. Wait, we 306 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 5: can make this run and then everybody's done except for 307 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 5: Zuba Hutch and maybe one or two other contracts. 308 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 309 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 4: No, I kind of liked this. 310 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so Balmer gets to do a complete reset, right, 311 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 5: he gets a look when he gets. 312 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: To spend a lot of money and try it again 313 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 4: at the end to it dome. 314 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Look, look, let me just let me just say this. 315 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: Let me just say this about it's the Clippers. I 316 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: know I can't be sold to Bill of Goods on 317 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: how this is their year and this is now the 318 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: seventh year. 319 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 4: I didn't do that at all, did I? I mean, 320 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 4: you weren't any of that saying that. 321 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: I feel, you know, Kawhi Leonard's been here long enough 322 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: where I feel like it's the only team he's ever 323 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: played on. 324 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 4: I like, wait, he won with the Raptors. That wasn't 325 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 4: what was that like to thousand and three? Now, it 326 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 4: wasn't that long ago with the Spurs. 327 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: What was that In the nineties it was him and 328 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Duncan right when they won when David Robinson retired. To me, 329 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: I feel that's all. And that's how long the Clippers 330 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: have done nothing. And it's the same thing whether it's 331 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers is the head coach or Philip Rivers is 332 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: the head coach. Every year they went about team including 333 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: a benure and and they get into the playoffs and 334 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: they lose in the first round. Like now, there's a 335 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: time where I am gonna say this and don't want 336 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: to say too much about too many bad things. 337 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 4: Uh what do I care? 338 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: But the thing that like you go back where hey, 339 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: if the Clippers, there was a point maybe seven eight 340 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: years ago where it was you know, you're you're getting 341 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: to the end of the Sterling era and everything that happened, 342 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: where you say, all right, time out here, if the 343 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: if you're telling me the Clippers they can win forty 344 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: five games and get to the playoffs and probably lose 345 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: in the first round. Every Clipper the Clippers would sign 346 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: up for that. Great, because it's been it's been so 347 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: bad for so long. But that was also before you 348 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: started spending all kinds of money on Kawhi and Paul 349 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: George and James Harden for every year to end this. Yeah, okay, 350 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: you bought your way to forty five wins and a 351 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: first round playoff exit after eight years, Like that's not 352 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: good enough anymore. But instead of saying, hey, we tried 353 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: this right, we tried this right. Kawhi this is his 354 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: sixteenth year with the Clippers. Okay, he's now a vested 355 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: he's now part owner of the Clippers. 356 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: He's been here so long. 357 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: Instead of saying, you know what, hey, we tried it 358 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: for five, six, seven years, it just didn't work. Let's 359 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: get a younger base. The Clippers have become kind of 360 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: a destination. Let's do something different. Nope, let's keep going 361 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: with Kawhi and whoa, we have one overpriced aging veteran 362 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: having trouble staying healthy. That let's ship him out and 363 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: let's bring in another one who's the same way. And 364 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: when we go sign guys, let's sign other guys. 365 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 4: In free agency? Who are that age and older? 366 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 3: Like? 367 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: You don't win if you are if you're built around 368 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: thirty five year old players, he doesn't happen. 369 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 5: Hey, man, I'm old enough to remember street lights over spotlights. Okay, 370 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 5: those billboards them the injury attorneys now, Jim Harbaugh. But 371 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 5: that's what you got on your highways and buy of 372 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 5: Los Angeles. Yeah, meanwhile, they were you you spend more 373 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 5: money on their. 374 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: Stars and the Lakers or but it was street lights 375 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: over spotlights, That's what it was.

There's been 426 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: times in my life from my career where the timing 427 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: was perfect. There's been times where, boy boy, you know 428 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: it's in the like in the Simpsons, when when when 429 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: When the when Chief Wiggams says, okay, yeah, I'm the 430 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: number one cop in Springfield, and I'm on the case. 431 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: And then uh, Mary quinn be comes over and goes, oh, 432 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: by the way, here is your kickback. And he said, 433 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: you couldn't have come here at a worse time. You 434 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: couldn't come at the worst time. Right, there's a certain 435 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: time a boy that couldn't come at a worse time. 436 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: So if barstool does come to Fox, right, when when 437 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: Barstool first had their sports, when they were connected, had 438 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 1: shows on ESPN very briefly, and it was they got 439 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: knocked off, they decided, okay, we can have this. It's 440 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: a different type of of of content with Barstool Sports 441 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: obviously that you've seen, versus what ESPN likes. 442 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 4: To put on there. 443 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: And when I saw that, I said, how long is 444 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: that gonna last? I mean really, how long we talked 445 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: about it? How long is that gonna last? 446 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 3: Right? 447 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 4: That's it's not gonna last. 448 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 3: Right? 449 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: But now, okay, so years later, the Barstool brand continues 450 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: on and now here they are at Fox that is 451 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: competing you know, as more of we ever had been 452 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: directly with ESPN for things. 453 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 4: Look you look at the radio lineup we have here. 454 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: We have the best line up nationally across the across 455 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: the country. Fox has become when it comes to radio 456 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: and content and content people. 457 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 4: A you know, we're the top dogs. 458 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: And for Barsool to come in now with their brand 459 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: of programming, I get completely what FS one is doing 460 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: because it's there now going after Okay, who is going 461 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: to move the needle for us during the day. We've 462 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, we've we've had the athletes on and everybody 463 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: bringing on hot takes, and that seems to be the 464 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: way things have been the last few years. But now 465 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: you're seeing a bit of an adjustment in the in 466 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: the audience towards a younger crowd. And look, these shows 467 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: are going to go on and compete directly with Pat 468 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: McAfee because that's exactly the audience they're going after, right, 469 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: They're only after the younger audience to eighteen to thirty four. 470 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 4: This is what it's gonna be. 471 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: And instead of here's a couple of former athletes, come on, 472 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be here's some shows. This is what we do. Now, 473 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the same type of stuff on a 474 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: different network. And and Fox is going to use that 475 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: to compete with what goes on in the ESPN because look, 476 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: ESPN's built around Steven Asmith and Pat McAfee, right, that's it. 477 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: That's their brand is Steven Asmith and Pat mca. So 478 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: now here's Fox coming on still with Colin in the 479 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: morning and first things first, and those shows are doing 480 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: really well. And now if this happens, I think this 481 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: is completely and I'm not saying this that hey, I 482 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: want to do shows, No, I look at that too. 483 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: This is this is how you compete now in twenty 484 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: twenty five, right, we tried to go after a certain 485 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: audience for a long time. Where's the growth, right, where's 486 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: the growth you can go after? And this and this 487 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: is that audience and growth to go after. So I 488 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: completely get why this is going on. 489 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 5: Well, the rules of engagement also changed in a lot 490 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 5: of this, right when we look at big noon kickoff 491 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 5: and what it's become for Fox, Hallmark events and entertainers 492 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 5: popping up and whatever. That huge battle and clash for 493 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 5: Saturday morning early afternoon eyeballs is certainly there. But the 494 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 5: McAfee branded to Reverend right, a lot of curse and 495 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 5: a lot of no sleeves. Definitely no sleeves, but lack 496 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 5: of a better job. Good bro not good bro, right, 497 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 5: the brota not good well. And you're also so in 498 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 5: a climate in the United States in twenty twenty five 499 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 5: where you can joke again or make the joke and 500 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 5: see how it lands as opposed to get out, which 501 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 5: is the climate when Barstool was going to ESPN a 502 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 5: few years ago, right, we watched it just you know 503 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 5: the SP's right, it's the All Star break story on 504 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 5: a Wednesday, the Chine chain Meal lists, right, and the 505 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 5: jokes that he's putting out there, those are those things 506 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 5: that got. 507 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 4: Him fired from other jobs. 508 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 5: Right, So it's that kind of thing and Barstool, you know, 509 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 5: irreverent content and some controversy. 510 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: You don't shy away. 511 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 5: From it necessarily the same way, right if your head 512 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 5: competition is going to embrace some of that piece, as 513 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 5: they've done with the McAfee show. And he certainly stepped 514 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 5: into it a number of times, he and his crew 515 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 5: that you know, Portnoy and his band of merriment. 516 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 4: I mean it could be the same thing. 517 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: Well it look look when I talk about timing, like 518 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: obviously the timing wasn't right then because it was too 519 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: new of a thing and it was too scary to 520 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: a lot of executives, right, it's too scary. So but 521 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: when you also and so the timing, now things work 522 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: better because people have now gotten used to it more. 523 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: It's it's no longer where we're gonna put this on 524 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: the air and spit what is this? I cannot believe this? Okay, 525 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: we get that it's new, and maybe it was too new. 526 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: It's it's very similar to what we saw in the 527 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 1: All Star Game last night, where now the ABS system 528 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: is gonna you're gonna be able to, at some point 529 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: in the future challenge balls and strikes right away. Like 530 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: the batter or the pitcher or the catcher can challenge 531 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: a ball strike call. They go to the box technology 532 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: and it's either gets overruled and and the call stays, 533 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: or or either is confirmed in the call stays or 534 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: it gets overruled. And eventually we're gonna have robot umpires. 535 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: But you can't just throw the computer or robot umpires 536 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: in there right away because there'll be too much backlash 537 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: because it's too new, too fast. But you get used 538 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: to the idea of this technology, and you see how 539 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: it worked last night, right four for four, people start Okay, 540 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: I get this all right, I'm okay a little bit more, 541 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: and the backlash is not that big and the uproar 542 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: is not as big. So now the same thing with barstool, 543 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: with going towards the Fox brand, which is more hey, 544 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: more maverick, more outside the box, more, we don't really 545 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: care what you tweet other than ESPN that's very more 546 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: buttoned down. So now that everybody is used to this, 547 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: and as you say that you know the climate change 548 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: is where it goes from. Hey, this is stuff we 549 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: really can here to. Let's see what said and see 550 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: how it lands. This is now the timing is simply 551 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: better because you've gotten used to that brand and certain things, 552 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: so it's no longer as big of a shock to you. 553 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: And you also have a more frame of reference, as 554 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: if we put this show on, we kind of know 555 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: what we're gonna get you. 556 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 4: Before we didn't know what we're gonna go. You've got 557 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: proof of concept both. 558 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 5: For that brand and its extension and good, bad and 559 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 5: different wherever you stand on their content, it's successful and 560 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 5: it attracts often an audience and offense. And then you've 561 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 5: got for McAfee again proof of concept. And you've also 562 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 5: been able to have a little bit of institutional learning 563 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 5: from what has been done and how things have been 564 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 5: navigated on the other side of the aisle. 565 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 4: So it's that. 566 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 5: All right, we've seen this, so we know and we 567 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 5: can start planning for when, if when, and if we 568 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 5: have any kind of issues that you know, we have 569 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 5: a tactical response fairly short order. Now you you brought 570 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 5: up the robot umpires. I'd be remiss if I didn't 571 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 5: talk about something that keeps showing up in my timeline. 572 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 5: I don't know if it's AI generated or actual happening 573 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 5: of these running robots in China. Oh yeah, it looked 574 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 5: like Detroit Arnie from the Clone War. Oh that's exactly 575 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 5: what's gonna happens. Terrifying you everything is those might be the. 576 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: Umpires execute Order sixty six. What does that mean? Oh 577 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 4: my goodness. The player guy argued, balls and shrikes he'd done. 578 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: But then it would look good because the players would 579 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: be fighting back with bats that would look like lightsabers, 580 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: And then someone would would would do the whole like 581 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: John Wick scene with lightsabers instead of swords, and it 582 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: would look like the players are fighting back with with 583 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: lightsabers instead after it gets photoshopped. 584 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 4: Oh, that'd be fantastic. How have we not figured out 585 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: how to make those bats already? 586 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, WANs So would have a big purple lightsaber that 587 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: big mace Wind. 588 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 5: Insisted it happen to be purple when he signed on 589 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 5: to the to the franchise. 590 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my lightsaber, mother blanker. Let's say I did like. 591 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 4: The little meme. 592 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 5: Also, at Wan Soto watching the All Star Game, it 593 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 5: was a cartoon surrounded by money, but with a tear coming. 594 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: Yes, uh never guy. 595 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: While the Major League Baseball taking a break after the 596 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: All Star Game, we're waiting for the end. Look again, 597 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: a couple of NFL teams coming to camp today the 598 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: next week or so. 599 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 4: UJAH tried to get off the snide in summer. Oh yeah, yeah, 600 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 4: you put money on the Jazz tonight. 601 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: You are somewhat nervous right now, But uh, the most 602 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: nervous league in the world is the w NBA All 603 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: Star festivities at home for Caitlin Clark this weekend and 604 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: her status uncertain after her groin injury last night. Missed 605 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: tonight's game against the Liberty. And you know when it happened, 606 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: We saw right away, we said uh, oh, I think 607 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark just got hurt. Backdoor passed with about forty 608 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: seconds left to go and the fever win. She ran 609 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: down the court, put her hand over her right groin 610 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: and stopped and pounded the stanchion with her fists because 611 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: she knew she was hurt, not the same groin she 612 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: had been out with. So this is now a double 613 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: groin injury for Caitlyn Clark and her status for this 614 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: weekend is uncertain. This is the worst nightmare for the WNBA, 615 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: who has been fighting the perception issue of do they 616 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: know what they're doing? Does the league know? Why do 617 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: the players all hate Caitlyn Clark? Why is this jealousy? 618 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: Why is social media all taken up with Kitlyn Clark 619 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: versus angel Rees. This is supposed to be a weekend 620 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: where it's okay, everybody understands Caitlyn's the show, right, We're 621 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: all in this together. Here is the festivities. She wanted 622 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: to wait till she got to Indiana to do the 623 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: three point shooting contest, which she still scheduled to do. Oh, 624 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: there's still a couple of days ago. This was going 625 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: to be that the moment of hey, where where like 626 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: when when Hollywood couples announced they're a couple, but he 627 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: put that big picture on Instagram and them holding hands, 628 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: or they're photographed on a red carpet together, look's together. 629 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 4: This was the. 630 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: WNBA's moment where it was gonna be this is Caitlin, 631 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: She's the show. You got to put your jealousies away, 632 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: and you have to understand seeing this All star the 633 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: festivities and seeing the r around it. She's bringing us 634 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: to great places like this was a big opportunity and 635 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: is a big opportunity for the WNBA to maybe move 636 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: past some of those crazy issues that they can't seem 637 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: to get past. This is that moment where Caitlyn Clark 638 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: takes center stage. You know, Blank, you Cheryl Reeve and 639 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: you and you don't like me and all this stuff. Understand, 640 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: you have to get on board, right because you have to. 641 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: No matter how you feel, you got to get on board. 642 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: But now who knows? Can she take part in the 643 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: three point shooting contest? Can she take part in the 644 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: All Star Game? And it's gonna be festivities where you 645 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: don't get her, and I know that they'll they'll be 646 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: dep put things like put her on TV and they'll 647 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: have her during that broadcast, which you can't be on 648 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: all these different things, but it's not gonna be the 649 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: same as seeing her. She gets people to the television 650 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: unlike anybody else in sports right now. Nobody else in 651 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: sports gets people to the TV like Caitlyn Clark. You 652 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: can look at her games and say, there's the difference 653 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: one person playing in a game. That's why they watch 654 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: that game. No one liked that in the NFL. No 655 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: one liked that in the NBA, no one liked that 656 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: in Major League base I mean, I mean, Pete A. 657 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: Lonzo Is, but you know, and like that all the 658 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: other sports. But she's that, and if she's not there, 659 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: this is a huge missed opportunity for the WNBA.

Maybe now things will get better 847 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: because the Lakers being run like a mom and pop show. Hey, 848 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: that was great and I miss that, But clearly the 849 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: Lakers are not We're not being run to how an 850 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: NBA team, a high level, high market NBA team needs 851 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: to be run in twenty twenty five. 852 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 3: Right. 853 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: You can't sit here and say you have money problems. 854 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: That's not doesn't work right. 855 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 4: Everybody's worth so much money now. These are the owners 856 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 4: that are running things. 857 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: So that's why it was such a great day for 858 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: the Lakers because, hey, Mark Walter's coming in. Now you expect, Okay, 859 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: we're gonna start spending money at some point, really big. 860 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: We're not gonna worry about this. We're not gonna let 861 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: Rich Paul and Clutch Sports dictate who we go sign 862 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: in free agency. That's why this was such a big deal. 863 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: But I tell the Lakers, yeah, suck it up. This 864 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: is the price you pay for running your franchise the 865 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: way you have the last few years. You gotta spend 866 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: a year wooing your guy that you want to sign 867 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: the day he is able to the minute he is 868 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: able to to that long term contract extension. So yeah, 869 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: do I feel bad they have to do this? I 870 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: do not, because you brought this on yourself. But it's 871 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: not unsolvable. Woo him for the next year. Whatever you 872 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: need to do to make him happy. You make him 873 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: happy because he's the guy you decided to empower and 874 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: make him the centerpiece of the franchise. So guess what, 875 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. Do you want to have 876 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: to do this? No, you want the Lakers to be 877 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: able to sell itself.

I don't understand how two men who who 1013 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 3: accomplished everything that they did together can't look at each 1014 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 3: other and make teeth. And granted Belichick, Belichick has to 1015 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 3: have a certain amount of self awareness that he's a 1016 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 3: gigantic pain in Can I say, can I say the 1017 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 3: A word? Or yeah, here's a gigantic pain in the 1018 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 3: act to deal with. But this time in your life, 1019 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 3: if you're Build Belichick, you should sit there and you say, yeah, 1020 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 3: that's who I am. I get it. I'm really difficult 1021 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: to work with, but this is what it takes to 1022 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 3: work with me. So you have to do it my way. 1023 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 3: And Bob Kraft has to sit there and say, I 1024 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 3: needed to get him to run this organization after everything 1025 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,399 Speaker 3: that happened with ourselves and then Pete Carroll and all 1026 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 3: that stuff, and I needed him and together they You know, 1027 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 3: when you put Tom Brady together with him, you have 1028 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 3: the most magical run in the history of the NFL. 1029 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 3: And you should look back and appreciate that because it 1030 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 3: put you both on the map, be in the Hall 1031 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 3: of fame, not the fame or very fame in the 1032 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 3: hall of fame truly. Okay, So the fact that they 1033 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 3: can't make peace about this and apologize, to which I 1034 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,280 Speaker 3: like Kraft does own a legitimate apologize apology for undercutting 1035 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 3: him with the Atlanta job last year, and you know, 1036 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 3: not supporting him towards the end, and you know, the 1037 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 3: way he necessarily could happen. You're definitely running him off 1038 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 3: when he maybe could have given him a one more 1039 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 3: year to try and see if the rebuild would work. 1040 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,359 Speaker 3: But there were justifications for Lett Belichick go at the end. 1041 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 3: I don't think it was that huge a controversy, but 1042 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 3: I would have liked to have seen Kraft say, here, 1043 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 3: stay here and break Shula's record, Like, let me give 1044 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 3: you that after all you did for us, Stay here, 1045 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 3: break Shula's record. Do it as a patriot, and then 1046 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 3: you know we'll part we'll part company after that. He 1047 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 3: didn't need to do it quite as early as he did, so, like, 1048 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 3: you know, just call each other and say, let's put 1049 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 3: this aside. This is silly, it's just but they can't. 1050 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 3: They're just too Caddy and and Bob Craft is catty 1051 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 3: too in his own way. I told you, you know, 1052 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,879 Speaker 3: being in his office. You know, after Jerry Jones made 1053 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame and he started to say, well 1054 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 3: Jerry did this, and I just said, Jerry is p T. Barnum. 1055 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 3: You just have to accept that that's what he is, 1056 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 3: and that's why he's in the Hall of Fame. And 1057 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 3: yet Bob Craft deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. 1058 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 3: And the way that they've made the rules with the 1059 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,399 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame will probably keep him out longer than 1060 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 3: he should. But he's he should be in the Hall 1061 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 3: of Fame, and he should be in in a large 1062 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 3: part because of the partnership that he had with Bill Belichick, 1063 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 3: not just because he hired or took a chance on 1064 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,800 Speaker 3: the old Belichick. 1065 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 5: In the interim, will continue to get the half assed 1066 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,479 Speaker 5: verbal slap fight between these two. 1067 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 4: I want you, I want someone. 1068 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 3: It's so it's such a joke.

And the tear comes to 1192 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 1: my eye because the Jets are acting like a big 1193 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:55,920 Speaker 1: boy franchise. 1194 00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 9: They take players. 1195 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, they paid two players who were twenty four years 1196 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 1: old a year before they had to pay them. This 1197 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: is the Jets we're talking about. They don't do things 1198 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 1: like this. They pay guys more money when they're too old, 1199 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: and then they have to recoup it and we still 1200 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs. 1201 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,480 Speaker 4: This is like what good teams do. 1202 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 1: Hey, we're gonna lock up our core guys who we're 1203 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,879 Speaker 1: twenty four years old a year before they would cost 1204 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: even more money. Okay, we're gonna do this. This is 1205 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 1: what teams do, just not my team. So I need 1206 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: you to have some I'll respect you your job.

Now, 1215 00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 3: have the Jets had ideas like this before that didn't quite? Yeah? 1216 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 3: I mean it's when they you know, they touched lose 1217 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 3: a left tackle that they have for years and years 1218 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 3: and years. The britishop Ferguson when they have Ferguson, and 1219 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 3: then they drafted Darrell Rivas the next year, right and 1220 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 3: and Mike Tannonbom came up with a really great idea 1221 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 3: that I don't want both of these guys to come 1222 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 3: up as free agents in the same year. So I'm 1223 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 3: going to make I'm not gonna I'm going to make 1224 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,280 Speaker 3: Darrel Rivis hold out for a six year deal instead 1225 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 3: of a five year deal and set the table for 1226 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 3: the wildest negotiation to ever play out over the next 1227 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 3: seven years because you just didn't do a standard five 1228 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:45,360 Speaker 3: year deal and think, you know what, they're both rookies. 1229 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,399 Speaker 3: I can deal with this in five years. Maybe, Yeah, 1230 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 3: like that was the advanced I think so based on 1231 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,399 Speaker 3: history of the Jets and how they've done business. Yeah, 1232 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 3: let's say this is this is a solid SAT move 1233 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,240 Speaker 3: for them. It's advanced thinking. But it's not the first 1234 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 3: time that they're undone advanced thinking, and somehow, some way, 1235 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 3: because they are the Jets, it will blow up in 1236 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 3: their face. 1237 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,879 Speaker 1: But you like the move and you admit that it's 1238 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,560 Speaker 1: a really good move. I need, right there, so I need, 1239 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 1: so I need. 1240 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 6: I got it. 1241 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 3: I got it. 1242 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 6: I got it. 1243 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: You got it on tape, I got I got it 1244 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: on tape. 1245 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I admit that you did the most amazing 1246 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 3: thing ever wonsible and your best players. 1247 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 4: All right, now, I know you a sandwich. 1248 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 3: That's I will say, as compared to what they went 1249 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 3: through with three, that it was their best player time.
