Now, before I get to this 34 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: goofy Laker debacle and what led up to it, I want, 35 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: I want to address the situation because there was report 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: Todds this week that NFL players were suspended, and I'm 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: amazed at how truly how much airtime it got and 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: this speculation. Does the NFL have a gambling problem? Is 39 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: it the end of the world? What's gonna happen? Are 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: they going to the electric chair? Let me let me 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: just demystify this so quickly. Okay, NFL players are adults, 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: just like we all are. They enjoy entertainment. Most of 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: them are adrenaline junkies. They're adults, believe it or not. 44 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: Forty to fifty percent of NFL players bet I'm not 45 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: implying any of them bet on their own team. I'm 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: not implying any of them bet on the NFL. What 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: I am telling you is, as a form of entertainment, 48 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 2: just like you and I and everybody else, to like 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: to throw a shekel, whether it be you know, on 50 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: a basketball game or a baseball game, or Corey and 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: ping pong, female full contact karate, you name it. Maybe 52 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: they sit like the come to Vegas and play crafts, 53 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: sit at the blackjack table. I can tell you stories, 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: but here's the situation. There are rules and you may 55 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: not like them, but they're going to be enforced, and 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: ignorance of the law is. 57 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: Not a defense. 58 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Now, I will tell you this, this is not something 59 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 2: that's been going on just in the last week or month, 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: or this. 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: Didn't start with calvied Ridley. 62 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: I will take back in two thousand and four ish, 63 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: when I was in the thick of my radio career 64 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: in Detroit, walked into the Detroit Tigers clubhouse, the media 65 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: typically got access between five thirty and six point fifteen. 66 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: For six ten for a seven eight PM game, I 67 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: heard yelling and screaming and f bombs and what's going on? Well, 68 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: they were arguing over their fantasy draft. The Tigers were 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: having their fantasy draft. And you know that's Is that 70 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: a form of betting? 71 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it is. 72 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: But regardless, this goes on, and what people should realize 73 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: is this incident in question that took place at the 74 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: Allen Park facility r at there off the ninety one 75 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: freeway or ninety four freeway. Excuse me, mixed my California 76 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: metaphor with Michigan ninety four Freeway and Allen Park. They're 77 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: a beautiful facility built in two thousand. This incident took 78 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: place a while ago, and actually the NFL informed the 79 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: Lions that they were investigating this about a month ago, 80 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: and the Lions were fully cooperating, of course, as you 81 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: would expect them to do, and so were the players. 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: But let's demystify this, Okay, let's just simplify this. It's 83 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: not complicated. One, if you're a National Football League player, 84 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: you do not bet on the NFL. 85 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: Period. End of story Two. If you're a. 86 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: Player, it's okay to bet on a game, just not 87 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 2: at the stadium or any team facility or team headquarters. 88 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: It's spelled out. 89 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: Three. If you are an NFL A a non player 90 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: in personnel, I don't care if you're the chief cook 91 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: and bottle washer, you're the team accountant, whatever, you don't 92 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: bet on anything. It's a fireable offense. I repeat, if 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: you're an NFL player, do not bet on the NFL period. 94 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: Big problem. 95 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: If you're a player, you can bet away from the facility, 96 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: don't bet out the facility. And these players were on 97 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: their apps and they know better. Sorry, Ignorance is not 98 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: is not a defense in the law. Now, obviously Jamison 99 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: went is six games. Okay, let's not beat that up 100 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: too much. That's how they're gonna get w back. It's 101 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: a shame because Jameis and Williams have you missed the 102 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: living games last year? And he's going to be an 103 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: electric player and I think the Lions really are turning 104 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: the corner. And again, ignorance is is not you know, 105 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 2: a defense. Betting on the app was the key. There 106 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: was no inside information and that's what the NFL, I 107 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: think is worried more about anything else. Did information change 108 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: its hands, gets into the wrong hands. The outcome of 109 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 2: the game is compromised, the belief that the product on 110 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: the field. The NFL is hyper vigilant about optics. They 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: want to make sure that no one would ever want, 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: you know, observe an NFL game and think it's not 113 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: on the up and up. So the system worked. The 114 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: NFL investigated, alliance cooperated. The players have been contrite, very contrite. 115 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: They've issued statements, the agents have issued statements, odd word 116 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: and upward. It's a learning experience. But don't think this 117 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: doesn't go on. Don't think it. 118 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: Hasn't gone on for a long time. 119 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: And now they've gotten under control, and now in his 120 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: twenty four to seven media you're gonna find out about it. 121 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: There's not a lot of secrets out there right now, 122 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: but for future notice those are the simple rules. There 123 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: are two of them. If you're an NFL player, it's 124 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: really it's really not that hard all. Let's get back 125 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: to this goofy like or debacle. You know, I don't 126 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: know who who Peden who Peede and Dylan Brooks corn 127 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 2: flakes or licked the red off as lollipop, which is 128 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: always one of my favorite Adam Sandler references for mister 129 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: Deed's a great movie, by the way, great movie Wunona Ryder. 130 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: But I digress. 131 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: I don't know what you know who licked the red 132 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: off of Dylan Brooks lollipop. But to do what he 133 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: did this past week is just you haven't done anything 134 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 2: in this league. 135 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 4: You know. 136 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: There's a story about the great Don Shula Argua, really 137 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: the greatest NFL coach of all time, the winningest coach 138 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: of all time. He was vacationally with his family in 139 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: northern Maine one summer, his wife, five kids. They walk 140 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: into a movie theater. They decided they're taking a movie. 141 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: Their movie buffs middle of the summer. They come walking in. 142 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: As soon as the ender of the theater, they noticed 143 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: there are only three people in the entire theater, and 144 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: they're in the front row. 145 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: And as soon as the Shoe La clan. 146 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: Walks in to grab their seats, the three people stand 147 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: up and start clapping, and Don Hul's wife looks at 148 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: me and he. 149 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: Says, well, look at that. Don. 150 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: No matter where you go in the middle of nowhere, 151 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: you're famous. Everybody knows you. Everybody loves you, and you 152 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: know they must be Dolphin fans too, And precisely that moment, 153 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: the gentleman in the front row says, lady, we don't 154 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: have any idea who the hell your husband is. All 155 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: we know is the movie theater will not start the 156 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: movie until there are at least ten people here. 157 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: So it could happen to Don Hue. 158 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: It didn't happen to anybody. Dylan Brooks had us come 159 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: up tonight, and you know, I guess he was not 160 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: dealing well with the fact that the Lake took completely 161 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: took complete control from the jump in this series. The 162 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: final score was one eleven to one on one, but 163 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: it really wasn't that close. Lakers now have a two 164 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: to one edge and if they win Monday, they go 165 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: up three to one. Obviously it's over, but it started. 166 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: The game started with one of the best quarters in 167 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: NBA history. The Lakers outscored the Grizzlies thirty five to nine. 168 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: They were explosive. The Grizzlies is never recovered. But then 169 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: things got tense after that. The Grizzlies, you know, they 170 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: made the game competitive in the second half of you know, 171 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: thanks to John Moran's performance. Give him credit, but the 172 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: story of the night, which has taken me forever to 173 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: get to, was the ejection of Newly. You know, well, 174 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: maybe he's not so new. Grizzlies agitator Dylan Brooks. Just 175 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: seventeen seconds into the second half, Brooks hits James in 176 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: another region, receives a flagrant two. They're already shorthanded, and 177 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Grizzlies. Now. 178 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: You know, no Steven Adams. 179 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: And such could recover. The Lakers held on. Thank you, 180 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks. Now the pressure falls completely upon them on 181 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: the Grizzly to respond Monday, I really am not so 182 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: sure they can. Let's get Let's get this series over 183 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: with and move on. This is crazy. I know we've 184 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 2: got Golden State and Sacramento Game four Sunday, a little 185 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: over twelve hours from now, and I want to stick 186 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: to my guns that I still think Golden State's gonna 187 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: win that series. I think they can hold, they can 188 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: hold serve at home, and I think that when he 189 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: gets hot and it's hard to breathe, whether it's Game 190 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: five or Game seven, Sacramento and I respect what they've 191 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: done this year tremendously. It's been a fantastic story. They 192 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 2: deserve all their accolades. So does Mike Brown. I think 193 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: when you get in the ring with the champ, the 194 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: champ might prevail. We shall see. 195 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: We still see if I'm right. 196 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: But onward and upward and congratulations Dylan Brooks, as Judge 197 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 2: Smells would say, you get nothing in like it, and 198 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: you made a damn fool lutterers.

You care to give your. 245 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 7: Location undisclosed location, but I'll say this, Bernie, Las Vegas 246 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 7: has suddenly gotten extremely crowded. Traffic is insane in the town. 247 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 7: What's gonna happen when the A's move here? I don't know. 248 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: Funny you should mention that before we get into the 249 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: National Football League Draft which is next Thursday, and the PROPS, 250 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: which is basically exercise of information gathering. Uh, you have 251 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: some thoughts as to how the A's in town will 252 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: affect the city in Las Vegas fire away. 253 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 7: I think that we are hitting gridlock, critical mass beyond 254 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 7: that when the A's move and they're going to move 255 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 7: in like right where the old Wild Wild West is, 256 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 7: which is on Tropicana right on the strip, very similar 257 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 7: to where the Raiders play. It's just a little bit 258 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 7: more towards the strip, right. It's going to be insane, Bernie. 259 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 7: I mean, it's like when there's an A's game, I 260 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 7: just can't imagine anything's going to move on I fifteen there. 261 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just like a lot of every other city. 262 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 2: But Fez, I'm you listen. I know they've bought land. 263 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of steps that need 264 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: to take place before the A's actually play a game 265 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: here and we see a stadium. 266 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: I didn't bring you down to talk about that. 267 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: But to your point, yes, the civil engineers are going 268 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 2: to be earning their money when it comes to re 269 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: routing traffic on game nights. 270 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 7: All right, And I know they've done a really good 271 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 7: I know they've done a really good job with that. 272 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 7: But hey, we're here to talk football. 273 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: Let's go. That's right, Fez, you are the prop king. 274 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: But as you have aptly pointed out, each year the 275 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: books get a little more fearful of the great success 276 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: that the betters have had on NFL draft props, simply 277 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: because the information is many times accurate, many times strong, 278 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: give your overall your overarching thoughts on that, and then 279 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: I've got five prop bets. 280 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you a great I will. 281 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: Do my best. 282 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 7: Let's quote the great Roberto Duran. If you recall get 283 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 7: sugariy leaders, he says, no, Moss, he ate too big 284 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 7: of a stake the night before and he just took 285 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 7: his fall and went home in round eight. I believe 286 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 7: that's what Vegas has done with the draft. This was 287 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 7: one of the most profitable betting opportunities ever because it's predetermined. 288 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 7: Word spreads, word gets out what directions teams are looking at, 289 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 7: who they're going to draft and if that player's still available. 290 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 7: And the pose made more money begging the draft in 291 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 7: terms of the percentages that they would hit any other 292 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 7: sport because it wasn't a sport. Well, the good times 293 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 7: they they're over because some books good luck winning at 294 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 7: the draft for Restance at the South Point because there 295 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 7: are no draft props there, and a lot of other 296 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 7: books have a very very limited menu with with lower elevens. 297 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: First, yeah, no, that's the way the cookie crumbles. The 298 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: books are in business to make money and not donate. 299 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: So but the long and the short of it is, 300 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: we will still have opportunities. And you know, I'm not 301 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: a prop player, it's not my style. But Fez, when 302 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: I look at under four and a half quarterbacks in 303 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: the first round, I got it at minus one point 304 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: fifteen yesterday, it's already minus one twenty five. 305 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: I don't know where that could go to. 306 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: But you're going to have to go a hell of 307 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: a long way to convince me that Hendon hook are 308 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: coming off of torn acl ran an air raid offense 309 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: in college. He's going to be the fifth quarterback drafted 310 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: in the first round. I'm sticking to my bet under 311 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: four and a half quarterbacks in the first round? 312 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 7: Do you agree to quote hit Man? And I'm sorry 313 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 7: gonna be whimpy about this, he says. He's tells me 314 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 7: this all the time, Bernie, he says, don't be an idiot. Says, 315 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 7: it's like you're not going to know the answer until 316 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 7: right before the actual draft, and then you probably are 317 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 7: going to know the answer because word will leak that 318 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 7: whoever's picking thirtieth and thirty first, whether they're going to 319 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 7: take him or not, is you nail this? This is 320 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 7: not a prop on over under four and a half quarterbacks. 321 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 7: This prop is will Hooker go in the first round, 322 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 7: because we're going to get four other quarterbacks taken and 323 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 7: there's no chance, virtually no chance, but be other than 324 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 7: those four, and Hooker is the odd man out. So 325 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 7: you need to follow where Hooker is going to go, 326 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 7: if he's going to go in the first round, and 327 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 7: maybe you might get a spell number on Hooker because 328 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 7: what might happen is that if that over four and 329 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 7: a half or under four and a half starts getting hit, 330 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 7: it's exactly equivalent to where Hooker is going to go 331 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 7: in the first round. You might get a scale number 332 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 7: on Hooker and his over under number. 333 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: Well, said Fez all right, speaking of quarterbacks, one of 334 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: the prompts that is that has emerged. You pay a 335 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: little bit bigger price for this, but I think it 336 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: might be worth it. Well, the first three picks not 337 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: all be quarterbacks currently minus two seventy five. 338 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 3: I think that's a solid play. 339 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 7: I think that's a really good bet. I don't see 340 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 7: quarterbacks going one, two, three. I do think Levis could 341 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 7: go second, But from reading the tea leaves as if 342 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 7: you will, the other key quarterbacks have fallen out of favor. 343 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 7: I think there's a good chance that we're going to 344 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 7: go ahead and see Wilson go top three or somebody 345 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 7: else go top three. That's not a quarterback. So I 346 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 7: like no for first three players off the board being quarterbacks. 347 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 7: I think that Luna right. 348 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: I think CJ. Stroud the highest you could possibly go 349 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 2: before to Indianapolis, and I'm fairly certain that Anthony Richardson 350 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 2: will fall out of the top ten. He's a stud, 351 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: but he completed fifty three percent of his passes and 352 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 2: only started thirteen games, And you have to ask yourself, 353 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: do you draft a project that high or do you 354 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: get yourself an impact defensive player who can have you know, 355 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: six that's day one maybe, which brings me to Jalen Carter. 356 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: Another pick that sharp people I trust are on is 357 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: his over under in the draft in terms of his 358 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: slot is six and a half, which means to be 359 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: drafted in the first six. That seems like a very 360 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 2: good bet to me. I think Seattle takes him at 361 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: five and it's plus money, Faz plus one fifteen. 362 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 7: Your thoughts on that, Yeah, Unfortunately, I just looked at 363 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 7: Carter and the money's coming in on the over and 364 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 7: I don't go against the money because again, the latest 365 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 7: information is usually the best information. So given what I 366 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 7: just looked up on his eyes at Circus by example, 367 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 7: over six avens one ninety burden, don't I didn't write 368 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 7: this TakeBack so Circus sportsbook right now, it's how you 369 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 7: Carter is going over. I'm not going against them, but 370 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 7: everything can change in the next thirty six hours. 371 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: Well, here's the key. It's either Seattle takes him at five, 372 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: or Detroit takes him at six and Detroit compare him 373 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: with Aiden Hutchinson, or you know I had pass rushers 374 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 2: or at a premium. That's not a bet I'm on, 375 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: but it would not surprised me if Pete Carroll takes 376 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: a fly or not takes a flyer takes Jalen Carter 377 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 2: at number five. Here's another quarterback prop Bryce Young and 378 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: Will Levis to be the first two quarterbacks selected, irrespective 379 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: of when they happened. We know Young's going first. That 380 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: would mean Levis would go before CJ. Strodd and Anthony Richardson. 381 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 2: Of course that's plus money as well plus one sixty 382 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: your thoughts on that, I think. 383 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 7: It's a bridge too far. Levis over under was seven 384 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 7: and a half, and obviously all the money is for 385 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 7: him to go earlier in the draft, but now we're 386 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 7: essentially betting that he's going to go second. 387 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not at 388 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: all that Bryce Young and Will Levis would be the 389 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: first two quarterbacks selected, So Bryce Young could go first, 390 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: and then there's three kickers selected and then Levis is fifth. 391 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 3: No, that's just that they're the first two. 392 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 7: I misheard. I actually like that, yes, because I think 393 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 7: Richardson is not going to get selected top two, and 394 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 7: so it's really is it going to be Stroud or Levis? 395 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 7: And I think that right now if you're reading the 396 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 7: tea leaves Levis is going to go before Stroud. 397 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 398 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: Well this is where the books tip their hands, Fiz. 399 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 2: This is a run out of the Steve Psick playbook 400 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: to find that market inefficiency, because the books currently have 401 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: you can bet a head to head who will be 402 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: drafted first, Will Levis or Anthony Richardson. And in that 403 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: head to head, Will Levis is minus one seventy five. 404 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 3: So what's that telling you that. 405 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 7: That is a fantastic But because because no GM is 406 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 7: going to take Richardson knowing what an incomplete project he 407 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 7: is because they're going to get second guests through the roof, 408 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 7: and he could be a complete and utter bust, not 409 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 7: being ready at all. 410 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: Right now, if as a couple minutes left, tell us 411 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: some of the plays. 412 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 7: You like, now this is going to be interesting and 413 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 7: be controversial. I like very little because I'm just guessing 414 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 7: at this point still and the stuff that I like. 415 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 7: Let me use an example why I like very level. 416 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 7: About a week ago, I was going to bet Joey 417 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 7: Porter to go over sixteen. That was what the line was, 418 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 7: and it was up the station casino. I know because 419 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 7: I checked okay over sixteen and a half laydar fifteen 420 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 7: that he's not going to go top sixteen. Six hours 421 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 7: later I went over to make that bet. The big 422 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 7: on that bet had moved from minus one fifteen to 423 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 7: minus three fifteen. Bernie. A couple of years ago, I 424 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 7: would have been laying the minus one thirty five. 425 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 8: The war has. 426 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 7: Gotten out so fast and people are betting this stuff 427 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 7: so quickly that when there is value, it is just dissipating. 428 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 7: If I had to bet right now, I think I 429 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 7: would bet a number of wide receivers in the first round. 430 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 7: You have to pay tons of big on this under 431 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 7: four and a half. I think it's almost impossible that 432 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 7: we'll see five wide receivers in the first round. And 433 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 7: I would bet old linemen over five and a half. 434 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 7: I think it's very likely have to pay extra big 435 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 7: that you're going to see more than five linemen on 436 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 7: the first round. 437 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: So as there's another development I want you to watch. 438 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: I got a text about an hour and a half ago. 439 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 2: I go on with Aaron Torris and Jason Martin every 440 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 2: Saturday night. I was told by someone I trust, the 441 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 2: Houston Texans who will inn this second pick in the draft. 442 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 2: They're gonna draft Will but not Will Lewis Will Anderson. 443 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: They want a pass rusher. 444 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 2: Remember their new coach, Jamiko Ryans is a defensive guy. 445 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: You put him on the field, he starts Week one 446 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: and the Texans have never been able to replace JJ 447 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: Watt or Jadavian Clowney. 448 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: So do you agree? 449 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: Do you like that pick that bet perhaps Will Anderson 450 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: number two overall? 451 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 7: I do, but there's a lot of uncertainty with are 452 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 7: the Texans going to trade their picks? So if they 453 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 7: if they do take a pick, Anderson sounds like the 454 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 7: right pick if it's going to be the Texans, but 455 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 7: they may well just trade down in the draft, and that 456 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 7: obviously would throw a monkey in the rest completely. 457 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 2: Well, you can get it a plus one sixty. So 458 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: there's that, Fez. Enjoy your evening on the strip. Are 459 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: you taking in an Oakland A's game tonight? 460 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 7: By the way, I think unfortunately, five years from now, 461 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 7: if Oakland keeps playing like they are, there'll be plenty 462 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 7: of good seats available here in the desert to watch open. 463 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying it's fifty fifty, it happens. Okay, I'm 464 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: not saying it's not gonna happen. 465 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 7: I'll give you a best bet on the way out 466 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 7: Oakland season wins. Caesars keeps putting these up fifty four 467 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 7: and app I am going under fifty four. And app 468 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 7: I don't think The's wins fifty games this year. They 469 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 7: are epically bad. 470 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 2: They're four and seventeen to start the season, Fez. And 471 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 2: if you have any thing left in your arm, show 472 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: up at the stadium Tuesday and they'll give you a workout. 473 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: That is Steve Pick and the physic five Fest and 474 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: Jury weekend, Buddy, we'll talk to you again in July. 475 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 7: All time horrific Bulton, Thank you, Bernie. 476 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: All right, that is Steve Pick and the physic five. 477 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: This is one of the more unique drafts because now 478 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: the term S two is being invoked. Evoked. Forgive me 479 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: for trying to sound cute and smart. There coming up? 480 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: What do NFL teams covet most in a quarterback? We're 481 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 2: going to start at thirty thousand feet and descend downward. 482 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about that that. I'm going to 483 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 2: talk about what happened later in the seas the CJ. 484 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: Strautz suation as it pertains to the S two test, 485 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: and then we're going to get into why nflgms are 486 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 2: debating over who should be win and where. 487 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 3: But first let's go to our guy, Steve de Sager. 488 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: What's the latest? 489 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 9: Hello, And you mentioned the A's at four and seventeen, 490 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 9: worst start in franchise history for first twenty one games, 491 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 9: and they've already lost six times by ten runs, ten 492 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 9: or more. Previous four years they lost six games total 493 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 9: by ten or more.

Baltimore won its fifth in a row, 500 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 9: Pittsburgh won its sixth straight game, and the Pirates gave 501 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 9: manager Derek Shelton a contract extension. Miami swept a doubleheader 502 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 9: at Cleveland after there was a rainout in Cleveland the 503 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 9: night before. Kansas City.

Denny Hamlin 538 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 9: are in the poll. 539 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: Back to you, Steve, an interesting side note about the 540 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: eas although this year's version resembles, you know, the whole 541 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: Booken Zephyrs of Twilight Zone seat yes, even with Casey 542 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: the robot. But here's where I'm going with that. What's interesting, 543 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: Steve is you go back in the last eleven years, 544 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 2: the A's have actually won ninety game six times, in 545 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 2: into the playoffs five times with that peril, with that payrol, 546 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: and the players get to a point where they want 547 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: to get paid and they move on for obvious reasons. 548 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: So do you see the A's as this complete more 549 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: unfranchised because the last decade doesn't bear that out. 550 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 9: No, I don't know about franchise the season. I agree 551 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 9: as I could mentioned how bad it's looking the traise 552 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 9: eight right now. Their run differential is already at a 553 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 9: minus one hundred. We've only played twenty one games. We 554 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 9: still got a week to go in April. I think 555 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 9: this season is done. But no as far as the 556 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 9: next decade, no, not necessarily. 557 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff was always Steve Good to have a 558 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: heavy in tonight, all right. This NFL draft, to me 559 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: is a little bit more fascinating. I don't think that 560 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: it's a great quarterback draft. If it were me, the 561 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: only well, I'm not gonna say what I was gonna say, 562 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 2: I would draft Rice Young in the first round. The 563 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: rest of them not not so sure. Let me just 564 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: get to my point. How quarterbacks are evaluated has always 565 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: been fairly well similar. You look at a college quarterback. 566 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 2: Do you want to see arm strength? You want to 567 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: see touch, quick release, you want to see accuracy, You 568 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 2: certainly want to see pocket awareness. Do you have the 569 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: ability to escape the rush? What's your level of competitiveness, 570 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: what's your level of mental awareness? What's your personal character? 571 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 2: It is a crapshoot. It's an inexact science, it's an 572 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: inexact art. Fifty years ago, Tom Landry and former Giants 573 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: DM George Youngkin, they're the ones who came up with 574 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: a Wonderlig test. This was sort of this simple way 575 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: to measure intelligence. Did it PARTICCT performance? Not particularly, but 576 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: it's still it's part of the process. They've done psychology tests, 577 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: they've done all kinds of things. Now the newest thing 578 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: in judging athletes is this S two Cognition test, which 579 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: is basically a forty yard dash for the brain. And 580 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: Bryce Young turned it down a tier because of a 581 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 2: perfect score of one hundred. He scored like ninety seven. 582 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: Hold that thought, and it's a thirty to forty five 583 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: minute test. And again it's just it's done on a 584 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 2: gaming laptop and the players have a response pad, and 585 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: it basically just simply measures how players process and make 586 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: split second decisions. Can you anticipate, can you read react? 587 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: Can you adapt to the speed? Those it turns out, 588 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: are measurable skills. Brock Purdy proved it last year. 589 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 3: He didn't have CJ. 590 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: Stroud's or Bryce young Is or any of these quarterbacks 591 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: arm strength, athleticism, any of that, but he had real 592 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 2: success in the NFL. That's why the conversation now becomes 593 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: so much more nuanced. Right, I don't care if your 594 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: Trey Lance or your you were Mac Jones or Justin 595 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 2: Fields or Kenny Pickett, And this year it's Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, 596 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: Will Levis, Anthony Richardson. You know all the usual suspects, right. 597 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: I will tell you I covered the lines for ten years, 598 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: pre and post. I saw it all, and I will 599 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: tell you this, I had more conversations with people about 600 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: quarterbacks than any other position. The most important thing a 601 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: quarterback can have this is after you have that base 602 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: level of talent is recognition period. You've got to be 603 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: able to make pre snap reeds. You've got to be 604 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 2: able to process coverages. Quarterback is a position you play 605 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: with your rise, you receive the ball, you make your 606 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: post snap reeds. You see how they match up with 607 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: your pre snap observations. You have less than two seconds 608 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 2: to execute. And I don't care how fast you run, 609 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 2: how high you jump, or if you can throw a 610 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: ball further than Uncle Rico. You can't hold onto the 611 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 2: damn ball. You got to get it out of your hand. 612 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: To do that requires recognition. And if you need to 613 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: move your feet to keep a play alive, take note, 614 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 2: you've still got to recognize what's happening. Is the defensive 615 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 2: man to man if so, well, that could be a 616 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: green light to run north and south since most likely 617 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: the defensive backs are facing away from you except for 618 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: the safety, and he's probably thirty yards down the field. 619 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: If you recognize that the defense is in zone, well 620 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 2: that's your opportunity to roll laterally and give your receivers 621 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 2: a chance to set adjust the routes, get open, maybe 622 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: you create a positive play. The truth of the matter 623 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 2: is so much of this position is plentyed between years. 624 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 3: It's all about recognition and reaction. 625 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: How quickly can you recognize the defender's responsibilities, how quickly 626 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: can you exploit it. This is a visual processing skill, 627 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: and it directly translates from the film room to the field. 628 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: If you do not have recognition skills your film studies, 629 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,239 Speaker 2: they're going to act the action needed for success. And 630 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: when you get on the field, even if you don't 631 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 2: retain the even if you retain the information you think 632 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: you saw, if you're not reading and responding and reacting accordingly, 633 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: so you get sacked a million times, or you throw 634 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: the ball away, or you throw interceptions. The bottom line 635 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 2: is it's turning out that this S two test is 636 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: going to be paramount. Look the scores are out there, right. 637 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 2: Jay Kyner scored at ninety six at Fresno State. Will 638 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: Levis had a ninety three Jaren Hall out of Brigham 639 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: Young in eighty four. Anthony Richardson a seventy nine eighties 640 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 2: considered the baseline for good Sir Richardson's right there. But 641 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 2: then they say Henon Hooker forty six, and then they 642 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: say C. Stroud scored at eighteen. And then of course 643 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: one executive said, this is a red alert, red alert, 644 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: red alert. You can't take a guy like that. I 645 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 2: have Stroud as a bust. I mean, that's what the 646 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: executive says. But I've seen Stroud on film, and I 647 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: like what I see with C. J. 648 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 3: Stroud on film. 649 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: He's comfortable with his athleticism. He's got real escapability. He's 650 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: an outstanding rhythm passer. He's got touch, he's got pace, 651 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 2: he's got ball speed control. I saw him carve up 652 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 2: defenses the best in college football. He has significant passing skills. 653 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 2: All right, So how do you weigh that? How do 654 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: you judge that? How do you juxtapose that against these 655 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: measurable tests like the y S two. We are going 656 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 2: to get to that later in the show. You did 657 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: not want to miss it. Bob McGinn wrote an incredible 658 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 2: article for his golong website. Bob gave me a book once, 659 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 2: wrote me a nice note. He covered the Green Bay 660 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: Packers for one hundred a year. He's not always right, 661 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: but he engaged in what I consider a real journalistic, 662 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: in depth piece to absolutely dive into this subject matter. 663 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: Bob Ginn is a two journalist. I'm an educated journalist. 664 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: I've always had a saying, if one side tells you 665 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 2: it's raining, the other side tells you it's not raining. 666 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: It's not your job to ask questions and argue. It's 667 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: your job to look outside the window and see for yourself. 668 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: That's exactly what Bob gin did and we're gonna get 669 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: to that later in the show.

There were some extracurricular activities before 690 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: I dive into that lawsuit. I want to share with 691 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 2: you just so you know the reason. If you hear 692 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 2: the angst in my voice and like I've got some 693 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: you know, lit firecracker up that took us with the 694 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 2: fuse halfway down. When it comes to the Oakland, A's listen. 695 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 2: All they've done is enter into a binding agreement to 696 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 2: buy forty nine acres over by Dean Martin a Tropicana. 697 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: We're a long way from a stadium. I truly believe 698 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 2: that there's too much to go into right now. I'll 699 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 2: get to a little later in the show. But as 700 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 2: my good buddy Alan Snell, who is part of the 701 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 2: he owns the Las Vegas Business Journal. He informed me 702 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 2: that the a's will you know their intention is to 703 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 2: submit a move request to Major League Baseball and their 704 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 2: owners in the fall, which I don't know why it 705 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 2: wouldn't be approved, But you tell me if you think 706 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 2: you can have a stadium funding plan that's going to 707 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: involve both private funding and public funding, I have that 708 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 2: agreement replaced by then. As we stand right now, they 709 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: don't even have a stadium rendering and they haven't even 710 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 2: named a stadium design architect. 711 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 3: They've bought land.

Try 713 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: to keep it real here, as a fan did at 714 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 2: a recent Washington Wizards game back on March twenty first 715 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 2: in Orlando. Ladies and gentlemen meet Kyler Briffa of Orange County, Florida. 716 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 2: He's the plaintiff here.

Now, according to the police report 730 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 2: on the incident, Briff's friend was said to have remarked 731 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 2: to Beale, quote, you made me lose thirteen hundred dollars, 732 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 2: you effort? Okay, those might be fighting words. Well, the 733 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: suit alleges, then don't you get tired of hearing the 734 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 2: word allege? I have to allege that it alleges because 735 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 2: that's what we allege here. During the confrontation, Beale told 736 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 2: Briffa quote, when you disrespect me, I'm going to press 737 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: you about it. 738 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 3: Do you think this is a joke. 739 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 2: Do you think this is a joke. Do you think 740 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 2: this is a joke. Do you think this is a joke? 741 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 3: I guess. 742 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 2: He repeated it four times for emphasis. You know, I 743 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 2: wondering if Briffa thought it was a joke, because when 744 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 2: I press you about it, what are we doing? What 745 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,959 Speaker 2: are we doing? What are we doing? 746 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 3: I can't help it. 747 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 2: Well, so Florida police. They reported the complaint to the 748 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 2: State Attorney's office. 749 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 3: And a spokesman from the. 750 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,760 Speaker 2: State Attorney's office confirmed there is a pending civil case. 751 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 3: But the Office of Court. You know, here comes the 752 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 3: best part. 753 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 2: You know, we do not disseminate information regarding on active 754 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 2: and ongoing investigations. What the hell is here to investigate here? 755 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: It's probably on camera somewhere. But Bill addressed the incident 756 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: Bradley beal and let's let's get here. Let's hear you 757 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 2: get side to it. It be fair about this, he said, quote, 758 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 2: nobody wants to lose money. I get it. 759 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,439 Speaker 3: Keep it about sports. I'm all for it. 760 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 2: But I think when people start getting personal talking about 761 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 2: your family, talking about your character, your integrity towards the game. 762 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 2: I think of all that, I think we can save it. 763 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 2: Meaning shut up, don't do it. Keep those comments to yourselves. 764 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 2: And Bradley Beal noted that he's noticed a bit more 765 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 2: nastiness since sports gambling in the past few years has 766 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 2: become more front and center. You're I got thirty three 767 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 2: states and the District of Columbia that now offer regulated 768 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: betting markets. In fact, Capitol One Arena in Washington, where 769 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 2: the Wizards play, was the first NBA venue to actually 770 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 2: open a sports book inside the stadium. Even Bill said, 771 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 2: I get it. I go to casinos, I gamble. I understand, 772 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 2: but I also understand I'm probably gonna lose about ninety 773 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 2: percent of the time. I'm not sitting here about to 774 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 2: get angry at the dealer or everybody else. Bradley Beal 775 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 2: has a point. Fans like this don't deserve to go 776 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 2: to games with a cheer. You want to yell, but 777 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 2: you start dropping f bombs and costing players. We know 778 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 2: that when you go to a sporting event, a lot 779 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,919 Speaker 2: of these folks been hooked up to a blender since noon, 780 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 2: and they feel less responsible for their actions because as 781 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 2: part of the crowd psychology, you know what, can we 782 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,479 Speaker 2: be a little better as a society? Are we better 783 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 2: than this? Can we be better than this? If we can't, 784 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 2: then we need to start thinking about how we are 785 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 2: coming out up.

We get them this time 796 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 2: every Saturday night at midnight. It is that time, Mark 797 00:40:42,160 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 2: Medina and Medina Magic. Oh all right, we're having an 798 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 2: issue with Mark Medina, so we're gonna get to him 799 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 2: in a little bit here. But one of the things 800 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to Mark about. He saw a 801 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: double header today at the Crypt and obviously the Clippers. 802 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 2: There are more abund mess and that led to the Lakers, 803 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 2: and of course the Memphis Grizzlies are more abun mess. 804 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 2: So we have a situation now where as these playoffs continue, 805 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 2: they become more predictable. But one of the things not 806 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 2: predictable that I wanted to talk to Mark about is 807 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 2: what is behind the sudden surge and flagrant two files 808 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 2: during the first week of the NBA playoffs. This is crazy. 809 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 2: He had Draymond Green situation on Monday. He got ejected 810 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 2: stomping on demonister Bonus, gets a one game suspension. Then 811 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 2: that leaves the Golden State Warriors shorthanded for Game three, 812 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 2: which they came through with. But then on Thursday, James 813 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 2: Harden of the Sixers be comes the second Star. 814 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 3: They sent him to the showers. 815 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 2: He was called for a flagrant foul hitting Brooklyn nets 816 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 2: Royce O'Neil, and then Joel Embiid was called for a 817 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 2: flagrant one which doesn't result in an injection, but he 818 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,240 Speaker 2: kicks Nick Claxton. Now tonight, Dylan Brooks giving a flagrant 819 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 2: to what the hell is going on here? We're gonna 820 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 2: get Mark Medina here in just a couple of minutes. 821 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 2: But one of the things I want to remind folks 822 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 2: is you head into Sunday. As you head into Sunday, 823 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors, they hold serve at home. It's 824 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 2: a two to two series, but they're gonna have to 825 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 2: go back and win games either Game five or Game 826 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 2: seven on the road to seal this series. And the 827 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 2: Warriors were only eleven and thirty on the road this year, 828 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 2: which ranks twenty seventh. They were allowing their opponents one 829 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two points a game, which ranks twenty ninth. 830 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 2: And they were allowing what three point field goals to 831 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 2: the tune of forty percent, which ranks twenty ninth. Teams 832 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 2: who start zero two only win the series eight percent 833 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 2: of the time. Having said that, I have a feeling 834 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 2: that the Golden State Warriors are going to prevail, especially 835 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 2: when they sealed the deal so easily in Game three 836 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 2: without Draymond, which brings me to my other point. I 837 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 2: know that folks were upset that Draymond was suspended, not everybody, 838 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 2: but I think I have a slightly different perspective, and 839 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna break it down for you. And here's why 840 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 2: I have a slightly different perspective. First of all, the 841 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 2: man that made the decision, Joe Dumars. Well, we covered 842 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 2: those great Pistons teams of the early two thousands when 843 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 2: they went to five straight Eastern Conference Finals, and then 844 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 2: we also had a situation where obviously they beat the 845 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 2: Lakers in five straight game or in five games in 846 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: two thousand and four, and almost beat San Antonio in 847 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: two thousand and five. So Joe, we used to have 848 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 2: a sitting in Joe Wie trust. Joe's a very measured guy. 849 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 2: He's a very smart guy. He's a thoughtful guy. What 850 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 2: did Joe also preside over November nineteen, two thousand and four. 851 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 2: I've talked about this one thousand times, the malice at 852 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 2: the Palace. You tell me, what do you think would 853 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 2: have happened? What would have happened if a cup flies 854 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 2: out of the stands and plunks Braymond Green on the 855 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 2: head while he's engaging the fans waving at him and 856 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 2: he's complaining they're flipping him to the burden. No, you 857 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,959 Speaker 2: were egging them on. If you're that tone deaf, which 858 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 2: we know you are, because you seem to fail to 859 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 2: recognize that even though You've had one hundred and sixty 860 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 2: four technical files in your career, twenty seven technical files 861 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, six flagrant files, seventeen injections. You had 862 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 2: incidents in November back in twenty eighteen, and of course 863 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 2: remember twenty sixteen in the NBA Playoffs Game five, Well, 864 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 2: you were ejected and then suspended for three reasons, your 865 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 2: actions on the floor that night, your personal history which 866 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 2: I just laid out. And then of course you're antics, 867 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 2: so if you do not know better, and Joe Dumars 868 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 2: is essentially saying in a very nice way, because he's 869 00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 2: a dignified man, we are you were fed up with you. 870 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 2: We're not gonna enable this anymore. And even though Draymond 871 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: gets under our skin, we get under Draymond's skin more so. 872 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: And so we're gonna revisit this later. We're gonna effort. 873 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 2: Mark Medina here, Pat sit title, I'll tell you what 874 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 2: to do. Mark just texted me. So in the meantime, 875 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 2: let's hang on for a second. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're 876 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 2: coming to you live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports 877 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 2: Radio Studios. 878 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 3: Don't go away. 879 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 2: You're listening to the. 880 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 3: Bernie Frattle Show. On Fox Sports Radio. 881 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports 882 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 2: Radio Copedy live from retire ac dot Com studios here 883 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. 884 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 3: It's a big world. 885 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 2: It must be midnight somewhere, so you know it's that time. 886 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 2: You got Mark Medina Medina magic. So doubleheader today at 887 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 2: the Crip. But that's only the tip of the iceberg 888 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,479 Speaker 2: of what we're going to talk about tonight. So much 889 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 2: happening in the NBA. Were better to have than Mark 890 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 2: Medina is still on the job out at the Mark. 891 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 10: How you doing, buddy, I'm tynging in man. I mean, 892 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 10: there's a lot going on, but you know what, it's 893 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 10: the playoffs. I'm not doing load management. Soon over. 894 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 3: You're like, you're like John Stockton. 895 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 2: I think played eighty all eighty two games seventeen to 896 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 2: the nineteen years, and he's seventeen to the seasons of 897 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 2: his nineteen in his career. Easy for me to say, hey, 898 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 2: before we get to the double header today, he saw, 899 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 2: because that's important. I want to get your take. What 900 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 2: is behind this sudden surgeon flagrant two files, first Street 901 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 2: of Mind Green and then James Harden and what Julian 902 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 2: embiid got a flagrant one, but he kicked Nick Claxton. 903 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 2: Now you got Dylan Brooks. What's going on? 904 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's really weird. I mean, I don't know why 905 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 10: players think it's okay to hit someone in the family's 906 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 10: tools looks like a no no, and every guy knows 907 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,399 Speaker 10: how much painful that is to receive it. But I think, 908 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 10: you know, officials aren't taking kindly to that because they 909 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 10: know that it's very sensitive and it can be seen 910 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 10: as malicious and game changing, and so as result of that, 911 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 10: they're making no bones that's automatic you know, flager foul 912 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 10: too and as a result in injection. Now, I think 913 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 10: the the interesting thing moving forward in Dylan Brooks's case, 914 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,439 Speaker 10: will this mean a suspension? You look at Draymond Green, 915 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 10: he didn't hit the Mantese Bonus in the family due 916 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 10: which he stepped on him, but he got a suspension 917 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 10: partly based off past behavior. James Harden, he got ejected, 918 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 10: but he didn't get suspended. And Dylan Brooks's case, he 919 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 10: already got a suspension this year because he surpassed the 920 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 10: sixteen technical foul in it. So I know John Morant 921 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 10: was saying after the game that he was concerned that 922 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 10: because of that history, that Dylan Brooks might have a 923 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 10: suspension face in for Game four on Monday, but walked 924 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 10: away to suit. 925 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 2: Well let's see on we haven't had a chance to talk. 926 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 2: I've been pretty vehement that I defended Joe Dumar's decision. 927 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 2: I thought Draymond Green's suspension was warranted. He's had a 928 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 2: million three and fines. You know, I gave all of 929 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 2: the statu of Battle, his technical fouls and a and 930 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 2: you know, flagrant files and all the things he's done 931 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 2: is his career. There's a third aspect of this, not 932 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 2: just his actions had nothing to do with a legitimate 933 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,800 Speaker 2: basketball play, certainly his personal history, but how about his antics? 934 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 2: Mark when he went to the crowd, what do you 935 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 2: think would have happened if a beer cup had flown 936 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,399 Speaker 2: out of the stand and he'd have been had Remember 937 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 2: Joe Dee was there on November nineteen, two thousand and 938 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 2: four for the Mouse of the Palace, as was I. 939 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 2: Spontaneous combustion can happen faster than people think. 940 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, and I think that's partly why the NBA reacted 941 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,439 Speaker 10: the way they did. Adam Silver was in attendance, and 942 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 10: I think that he's just always very concerned that, you know, 943 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 10: something could become even worse. Now, I totally understand and 944 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 10: respect where you're coming from. I think that the NBA 945 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 10: did miss on Draymond's case. But here's why. Look, it's 946 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 10: not like he was a victim of any sort, but 947 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 10: I felt like he already served his punishment with the ejection, 948 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 10: I mean, and that resulted in a huge factor and 949 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 10: the Warriors losing game too. I think subsequently there could 950 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,879 Speaker 10: be further punishments because keep in mind, if he gets 951 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 10: two more flagrant about points, he's going to get another suspension, 952 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 10: So in theory, that could inhibit him from, you know, 953 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 10: continuing a demonstrative behavior. I think as far as the inappropriate, 954 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 10: unprofessional acts that he had towards the crowd, look, I 955 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 10: didn't think, at least watching it, that there was any 956 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 10: danger of this was going to break out into some 957 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 10: sort of fight. It seemed like he was just playing 958 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 10: the villain like a WW wrestler, and I think that 959 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 10: the NBA should just find him for that. I think 960 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 10: that it's also not comforting for me that the NBA 961 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 10: acknowledge out loud that his past behavior influenced I always thought, 962 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 10: and the NBA had always said before that they judge 963 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 10: each actions based on the severity of it, and so 964 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 10: they don't include reputation or anything else, like everyone should 965 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 10: be entitled to the same parameters here. But I do 966 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 10: get where you're coming from and clear early when you 967 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 10: you know, like in life, when you have a reputation 968 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 10: that eventually can always come back to haunt you at 969 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 10: the worst times here. But yeah, in Dylan Brooks's case, 970 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 10: I would think he should get suspended because it seemed 971 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 10: pretty intentional to me. The Grizzlies made it sound like 972 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 10: it was an accident, but at least my my own 973 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 10: eyes from what I saw on the whip play, it 974 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 10: looked pretty intentional. 975 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 2: You were you were there when Dylan Brooks got ejected today. 976 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: Did he walk over to the fans and started setting 977 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 2: him and doing gyrations or did he just walk off 978 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 2: the floor. 979 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 7: He just walked off. 980 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 2: There you go, there's the quantity, there's the qualitative difference 981 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 2: in I think you articulate your case, well, there is 982 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 2: no right or wrong here because we're on on charted ground. 983 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,760 Speaker 2: And Joe de decided to make an example when Draymond 984 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 2: Green had gotten ejected, if you had just walked off 985 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 2: the floor, I do not believe you would have been suspended. 986 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 2: It was the additional antics, yeah, combined with what listen, Ryan, 987 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 2: Our test was laying on the scores table and it 988 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 2: looked like he was simmering down. That beer cup falls 989 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 2: a foot short. We're not having this conversation. It landed 990 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 2: on him and the rest is Look. The commissioner was 991 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,439 Speaker 2: watching on TV, and I remember Jermaine O'Neill said, Man, 992 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 2: as bad as it looked on TV, it was even 993 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 2: worse in person. And he's right. So I think I 994 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,439 Speaker 2: think we both have valid points and we'll just sort 995 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,320 Speaker 2: of move on on that. So you saw a doubleheader 996 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 2: to day. Let's start with the Clippers and Sons. Give 997 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 2: it up to US thirty seven points. But the storyline 998 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 2: for me is no, kolwhi Leonard? Did they defeat the 999 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 2: purpose of all this load management during the year. 1000 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's very fair to ask, because you know, he 1001 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 10: started playing forty plus minutes game one and Tyler was saying, 1002 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 10: this is what he saved them for. 1003 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 7: Now. 1004 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 10: It's not like they threw him out. You know in 1005 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 10: game one after not playing at all that there was 1006 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 10: a ramp up toward the end of the regular season 1007 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 10: about him playing more minutes without restrictions. But clearly this 1008 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 10: strategy hasn't worked. And while you know these injuries are 1009 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 10: real and they can come up at any inopportune time, 1010 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 10: I think there has been a danger philosophically, not just 1011 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 10: with the Clippers, but when you're being overcautious, that can 1012 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 10: hurt a player's rhythm and ability to get back in 1013 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 10: the swing of things. And there's just no easy answers 1014 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 10: because the reality is Kawhi Leonard has had extensive injury 1015 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 10: history ever since his final season with San Antonio. The 1016 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 10: Raptors did the load management with him the following season 1017 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 10: and it was effective enough that they want a championship, 1018 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,240 Speaker 10: and so since then, that's why the Clippers have always 1019 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 10: adopted this philosophy. But clearly the results are there are 1020 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 10: the results. They haven't won an NBA championship. They got 1021 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 10: to the Western Conference Finals, but ironicallyough that's when Kawi 1022 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 10: injured yacl and his right knee. So yeah, there's no 1023 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 10: clarity really on if he's ever going to come back 1024 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 10: for Game five because he hasn't done anything yet. To 1025 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 10: a much lesser extent, same thing with Paul George. He's 1026 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 10: done running and shooting but has been clear for any contact, 1027 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 10: and so it just feels like just another Waist and 1028 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 10: Clipper season. 1029 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well said. Talk with Mark Medina Medina Magic 1030 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 2: Our NBA Fox Sports Radio guru on slips to the 1031 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 2: Lakers game. I think you saw a truly impressive performance 1032 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 2: by John Moran. Forty five points in forty two minutes, 1033 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,760 Speaker 2: fifty percent from the field. He did everything thirteen assists, 1034 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 2: six with nine rebounds. 1035 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 3: Here's where I'm going with that. 1036 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 2: Does Memphis possibly have enough in the tank to make 1037 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 2: this a series from this point out? 1038 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 10: I think they could, But you know, look, the Lakers 1039 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 10: are really good. They're at home. Clearly the home court 1040 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,320 Speaker 10: played a factors, the fact that Dylan Brooks is talking 1041 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 10: a lot of you know what, and it was just 1042 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 10: a real festive atmosphere. And keep in mind burning this 1043 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 10: might sound weird, but this is the first time that 1044 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,720 Speaker 10: Laker fans were able to take in a playoff game 1045 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 10: since twenty thirteen, and that speaks to the fact that 1046 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 10: they went through a six year stretch without making the playoffs. Then, 1047 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 10: you know, the Lakers won an NBA championship in twenty ten, 1048 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 10: but that was in the bubble without any fans. They 1049 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,760 Speaker 10: have since played in playing games, but those were all 1050 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 10: you know, in twenty twenty one restricted capacity, they just 1051 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 10: had it a few weeks ago, but this was the 1052 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 10: first playoff game with full capacity, and so with that, 1053 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 10: I expect that they're going to have their hands full. 1054 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 10: But I think that, you know, being in the Corizzlies 1055 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 10: locker room, they were very encouraged. Where the first quarter 1056 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,240 Speaker 10: was just got off. I mean they were outscored thirty 1057 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 10: five to nine. You know, they were shooting twelve percent 1058 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 10: from the field overall, But from there they made the 1059 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 10: game pretty competitive from there on that most notably from 1060 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 10: jab Moran. So I think in their mind it's about 1061 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 10: just building off of the last three quarters. I think 1062 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 10: the problem here is one we don't know if Dylan 1063 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 10: Brooks is going to play two. The Lakers are just 1064 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 10: firing on all cylinders here, so I want to be 1065 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 10: surprised if they put the series away earlier. 1066 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 2: How long can this really keep up? I'm loving what 1067 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves is doing, but losing Game two elongates the 1068 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 2: series and the Lakers need I just feel marked a 1069 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 2: cumulative effect on this team. I'm not buying that they're 1070 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:22,440 Speaker 2: going to the NBA Finals. 1071 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 3: I'm just not. 1072 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, let me digress for just 1073 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,840 Speaker 2: a second. A lot of folks thought that because the 1074 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 2: Clippers were so competitive against Phoenix, that might show that 1075 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 2: Phoenix has a chink in the armor. I do not 1076 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 2: believe that. Let's assume that both Lakers and Phoenix advance. 1077 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 2: Who would you like in that series? 1078 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,800 Speaker 10: Well, you know, to clarify here, assuming the most teams 1079 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 10: in vance are there, mark the Kings and the Warriors. 1080 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm here, Yeah, go ahead, we lost anybody? 1081 00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, I was clarifying that, you know, presuming both those 1082 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 10: teams in vance, the Suns would play the Nuggets in 1083 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 10: the second round. The Lakers will play the winner between 1084 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 10: the Kings and the Warriors. But I think to your 1085 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 10: overall point about the Lakers, I'm with you. I think 1086 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 10: that their ceiling is the second round, regardless of whether 1087 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,040 Speaker 10: they play Golden State or Sacramento. I like, you know 1088 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 10: the facts that Lebron James Anthony Davis have been playing well. 1089 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,280 Speaker 10: They are healthy, but ad has been up and down. 1090 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,879 Speaker 10: He had a bounced back Game three, but Game two 1091 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 10: he was a shelve himself, and I think that as 1092 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 10: much as their supporting cast has improved enough where and 1093 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 10: you don't designate a third star, it's a composite character 1094 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,799 Speaker 10: of any of their role players their role players for 1095 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 10: a reason, and so I think that that would ultimately 1096 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 10: catch up to them against a team like Sacramento and 1097 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 10: Golden State. And we're also not even talking about the 1098 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 10: unpredictability of we're assuming that Lebron and Ad are fully healthy, 1099 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 10: and we know that that can be subject to change, 1100 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 10: given Lebron's in his twentieth season and AD's injury history 1101 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 10: is what it is. 1102 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 2: No, you're spot on, all right. If twelve hours were 1103 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 2: twelve hours away from the Golden State Sacramento Kings soap 1104 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 2: opera to begin, I do expect Golden State to hold serve. 1105 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,840 Speaker 3: Here's where it gets interesting. It becomes a three game. 1106 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 2: Series, Mark, and Sacramento would still be retaining home court advantage. 1107 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 2: My question to you is in a three game series 1108 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 2: like that, what chance do you give Golden State to 1109 00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 2: win either Game five or Game seven in Sacramento. 1110 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's really tough. I'm glad I don't have to 1111 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 10: bet any money on this because it's really flip a coin. 1112 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 10: Part of me it feels like, hey, you can't fat 1113 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 10: against the Warriors because they're the defending champs. They have 1114 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 10: so much experience. They've won road games, you know, I 1115 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 10: think for twenty seven consecutive playoffs series. So my hunch 1116 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 10: is they can extend that. But the reality is this 1117 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 10: season is this season, and they have struggled dallying on 1118 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 10: the road, partly because it's just a different roster. You know, 1119 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 10: Steph and Clay and Draymond played well, but I also 1120 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,560 Speaker 10: have a lot of new young guys. They've missed Andrew 1121 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 10: Wiggins for a while. While Wigan's back, they're young guys, 1122 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 10: most notably with Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kamenka have been 1123 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 10: very inconsistent and there's a reason why they face diminished 1124 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 10: playing time during the playoffs. So yeah, you added that 1125 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,919 Speaker 10: in with the fact that the Kings are the real deal. 1126 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,440 Speaker 10: They're an explosive offense, even though they're not great on defense. 1127 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 10: They've been able to make up for that because of 1128 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 10: how you know, deep their team is. I don't know 1129 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 10: which way to go. I feel like my mind changes 1130 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 10: by the game. I guess I would go with Golden 1131 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 10: State because of the experience. But if the Kings pull 1132 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 10: this off, do not be surprised. 1133 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 2: Mark great stuff is always get some rest, my good man, 1134 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 2: the hardest working man in NBA rock and roll. That's 1135 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 2: Mark Madeina Medina Magic. Mark, thanks so much. We really 1136 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 1137 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 3: Appreciate you, Bernie, enjoy the rest of your week and 1138 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,040 Speaker 3: Eddie's Mark Medina. 1139 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 2: By the way, one of the things we did not 1140 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 2: get to is who will emerge from the West to 1141 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,080 Speaker 2: go to the NBA Finals. I believe it's going to 1142 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 2: be the deet the Denver Nuggets. Here is why one. 1143 00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 2: They have the best player in the West. You can 1144 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 2: argue about Embiid or Giannis for MVP or not. 1145 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 3: I don't care. 1146 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 2: There is no debate about who the best player in 1147 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 2: the West has been this season. You're talking about a 1148 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 2: guy six eleven, two eighty four. Not only capable of 1149 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 2: running the offense like a true point guard, he can 1150 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 2: score like a prototypical shooting guard. He has the general 1151 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 2: all around ability of any small forward in the game, 1152 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 2: but he has he's six to eleven. He can kill 1153 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 2: defenses from the mid range. He's basically a traditional power forward, 1154 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 2: but he can destroy opponents because he's got phenomenal footwork 1155 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 2: in the low post, and he's the center we're talking about, 1156 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 2: of course, Nikola Joki. Denver has the best player in 1157 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 2: the West. Player development, Denver has done a phenomenal job 1158 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 2: this year developing Jamal Murray he's only twenty six and 1159 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 2: Michael Porter there's only twenty four. They've already come to 1160 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 2: the league's better players and they haven't even hit their 1161 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,800 Speaker 2: prime yet. And they've been crucial. And these acquisitions that 1162 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 2: Denver have made over the last three seasons, like Aaron Gordon, 1163 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 2: he was the face of the Orlando Magic. He's shooting 1164 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 2: fifty four percent from the field. They've improved him tremendously. 1165 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 2: Gordon's embraced Denver's defensive mindset. He's their best defender. And 1166 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 2: that's very notable given the fact that there are a 1167 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,800 Speaker 2: lot of dominant Fords in the league. And it's not 1168 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 2: just the guys I just mentioned at Kntavious Calwell, Pope 1169 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 2: Ad Bruce Brown.

Hey, while I got you, Steve, and 1256 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 2: appreciate being with you tonight. Look, I want to get 1257 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 2: your take on the Draymond Green situation because I gave 1258 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 2: a pretty vehement commentary last night, and I know Joe 1259 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 2: Dumars and I've observed his cognitive thinking skills. 1260 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 3: I've believed he made the right decision. 1261 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 2: Do you believe the suspension was warranted? 1262 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,919 Speaker 9: Yes, Yes, I do believe. And I think that him 1263 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 9: spelling it out that the player's history has something to 1264 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 9: do with it was appropriate and should weigh in on it. 1265 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 9: And maybe that weighed in on Dylan Brooks getting quickly 1266 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 9: kicked out tonight by the way early in the second half. 1267 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 2: I also invoked my poetic license because Joe, as I 1268 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 2: do know what November nineteenth, two thousand and four looked 1269 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 2: like with the mouse at the palace. 1270 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 3: Steve What do you think would have happened if. 1271 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 2: A flying beer cup would have flown out of the 1272 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 2: stands and hit Draymond Green in the head. 1273 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 9: I don't know if it would have been the wild 1274 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 9: crazed into the second row type of our test, but 1275 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 9: the game would have stopped. I think I'm pretty sure 1276 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 9: on that point. 1277 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 2: You know, that's just it. We don't know. I've asked 1278 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 2: ten people to question and none of them said, Oh, 1279 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 2: I think Draymond would have exercised discretion. When has he 1280 01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 2: ever done that? He wound up, jumped up and stomped 1281 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 2: on Demono simbonas it was premeditated for him to give 1282 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 2: those wacky postgame conference. To me, just lacks total awareness 1283 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 2: and total lack of accountability. 1284 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,760 Speaker 9: You got the last word, and don't forget riling up 1285 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,960 Speaker 9: the crowd right after, And that was brought up appropriately 1286 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 9: by the league office. 1287 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 2: And I think that's what led to the suspension tonight. 1288 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,959 Speaker 2: At least Dylan Brooks consolation prize walked off the floor 1289 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 2: when he was ejected, as opposed to riling up the crowd. 1290 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 2: And you know, half those folks they show up to 1291 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 2: the arena, they might have a few cream dements in 1292 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,200 Speaker 2: their system. 1293 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:51,360 Speaker 3: You don't know what can happen next. 1294 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 1: Boy. 1295 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 9: People were booing him at warm ups and laughing at missshots. 1296 01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 9: They were on him all night in La Dylan Brooks. 1297 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, duly know it all right, Steve, good stuff and 1298 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 2: Jo your weekend, take you all right.

So much 1328 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 2: has to happen, As my friend Alan Snell of the 1329 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 2: Business Journal says, the A's it's their intent to submit 1330 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,240 Speaker 2: a move request to Major League Baseball and the owners 1331 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 2: in the fall. 1332 01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 3: Well we're about a week from May, folks. 1333 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,639 Speaker 2: The fall the future always has a way. 1334 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 3: Of arriving ahead his schedule. The falls technically September twenty first. 1335 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,760 Speaker 2: So the A's submit that request, then they think they 1336 01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 2: have this stadium funding plan and this public private agreement 1337 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,639 Speaker 2: potential possibly in place. 1338 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 3: There's so much work to do. 1339 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 2: How could they rally that that quick and find a 1340 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 2: billion and a half dollars. They don't even have a 1341 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,640 Speaker 2: stadium rendering. They haven't named a stadium design architect. This 1342 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 2: is far from being a done deal, but the narrative 1343 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:23,280 Speaker 2: has been, of course such that. Well, you've got our 1344 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:26,960 Speaker 2: Clark County Commissioner, Michael Naft, he's talking about where the 1345 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,080 Speaker 2: stadium would be built, and the a's have already said 1346 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 2: they're gonna work with the VATA on Clark County on 1347 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,760 Speaker 2: a public private partnership to fund the damn thing. They 1348 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 2: hope to break ground next year. They hope to move 1349 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 2: in by twenty twenty seven. This is a massive milestone. 1350 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:45,719 Speaker 2: I'm I'm just pragmatic about this. I think it's fifty 1351 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 2: to fifty. I do think it could happen. I'm not 1352 01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,600 Speaker 2: predicting it's not gonna happen. But to imply or to 1353 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 2: assume that it's a done deal really does not sit 1354 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 2: well with me, because it's happening too fast. The legislation 1355 01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 2: hasn't checked in. I don't think the casino owners have 1356 01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 2: checked in. Other political pundits have it checked in. You know, 1357 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,600 Speaker 2: the Raiders are going to check in. We've got to 1358 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 2: see where this goes. But we do know they didn't 1359 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 2: enter a bind, any agreement to buy land. If you 1360 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 2: remember nineteen ninety two was on the front page of 1361 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 2: the San Francisco newspapers the Niners or the forty, the 1362 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 2: giants or moving to Tampa Bay. Well that ended up 1363 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,799 Speaker 2: not happening. He was on the front page of the paper. 1364 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,840 Speaker 2: So let's just wait and see. Let's let this process 1365 01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,519 Speaker 2: play out. It's my commitment to report on this every 1366 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 2: time I have information, and I have a lot of 1367 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,720 Speaker 2: great local guests here in Las Vegas that I can 1368 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,120 Speaker 2: get that are very much in the know, that are 1369 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,680 Speaker 2: you know, journalistically intrepid, so they're going to be able to, 1370 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 2: you know, help get to the bottom of this. We'll see. 1371 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 3: It may happen, it may not happen. 1372 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 2: Coming up another story that's been making the rounds. Four 1373 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:58,679 Speaker 2: Lions players, including a first round pick, were suspended, as 1374 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 2: was the Washington Commander player. Why what's happening? I'll explain. 1375 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,800 Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fradick. Were coming to your line from the 1376 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio tirect dot com studios. Keep 1377 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 2: it locked. You listened to the Bernie Fradle Show on 1378 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. 1379 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 11: You're back on the Bernie Frale Show, coming to your 1380 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 11: live from the Las. 1381 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 3: Vegas tirect dot com studios. 1382 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 2: A Fox Sports Radio will take you up to three 1383 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,960 Speaker 2: in Pacific, six am Eastern and got a lot of 1384 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 2: show to get to. 1385 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 3: Top of the hour. 1386 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 2: We are going to take a deep dive into the 1387 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:39,040 Speaker 2: new fangled way all the evaluating quarterbacks. And I want 1388 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,759 Speaker 2: to give Bob McGinn, a gentleman who covered the Green 1389 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 2: Bay Packers for gosh what three decades, he wrote an 1390 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 2: incredibly insightful article having to do with the new S 1391 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 2: two test and what certain players scored and what this 1392 01:11:55,080 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 2: really means. And in some circles they might consider this 1393 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 2: information controversial, but I will tell you it's thought provoking. 1394 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,680 Speaker 2: And you know, since drafting and developing NFL players is 1395 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 2: not only an exact science and in exact art predicting 1396 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 2: the future, you're always having to try to find new 1397 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 2: ways that might indicate better predictors of success, as it 1398 01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 2: did for Rock Purty last year. 1399 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:24,240 Speaker 3: I hold that thought. 1400 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 2: I will come back to that all right, four Detroit 1401 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,640 Speaker 2: Lions players, including Jamison Williams, the. 1402 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,040 Speaker 3: Number one pick out of Alabama. 1403 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 2: We're among five players across the NFL that were suspended 1404 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:44,599 Speaker 2: Friday for violating the NFL's gambling policy. Hold that thought. 1405 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,640 Speaker 2: I'll come back to it. There seems to be some confusion. 1406 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 2: I cannot believe how much airtime this got these past 1407 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:52,839 Speaker 2: two days. 1408 01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 3: Well, it's the. 1409 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,640 Speaker 2: NFL in trouble is gambling. There's gambling in our establishment. 1410 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 2: You're winning, sir, right out of Casablanca. The world's coming 1411 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 2: to an end. No, no, no, no, let let's let's 1412 01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,480 Speaker 2: demystify this. Okay. 1413 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 3: First of all, forty. 1414 01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 2: To fifty percent of players bet. I'm not saying they 1415 01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 2: bet on their own team. I'm not saying they even 1416 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 2: bet on the NFL. But they're adults, much like you. 1417 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,080 Speaker 2: For entertainment purposes, they like to throw a few shekels 1418 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 2: on a game. They're adrenaline junkies. They lack action. Betting 1419 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,679 Speaker 2: can perhaps enhance their viewing participation of a sporting event, 1420 01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:30,600 Speaker 2: or even we're talking when they come to Vegas like 1421 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:34,439 Speaker 2: table games and blackjack and roulette, you name it. Okay, 1422 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:38,120 Speaker 2: that's okays, matter of fact, I think I've told this 1423 01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 2: story before one of the year's you know they see 1424 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,519 Speaker 2: probably around two thousand and four, I walked into the 1425 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:48,000 Speaker 2: Tiger clubhouse, you know, about an hour and a half 1426 01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 2: before a game. Man that I hear this yelling and 1427 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,759 Speaker 2: screaming and dropping f bombs, and turned out the Tigers 1428 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 2: were engaged in their annual Fantasy Football League draft. So 1429 01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 2: you know, he's at a four betting you could say that, 1430 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 2: but regardless, this just is another indicator that this goes on. 1431 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 2: They're adults. However, here's the situation. The NFL has a 1432 01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 2: very simple, straightforward gambling policy. It's simple. There should be 1433 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,679 Speaker 2: nothing vague or obtuse about it. Nothing that's hard to understand. 1434 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,800 Speaker 2: If you are an NFL player, you do not bet 1435 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,920 Speaker 2: on the NFL period, end of story. Problem. Just ask 1436 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,759 Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley. You do not do it, no way, know how. 1437 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 2: When you're done in the NFL and you've retired, bet 1438 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,559 Speaker 2: to your heart's delight. But while you are playing, you 1439 01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 2: do not bet on the NFL. 1440 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 3: End of story. 1441 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,760 Speaker 2: Now you are allowed to bet on other sports, or 1442 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 2: you are allowed to, you know, go to Vegas and 1443 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:51,519 Speaker 2: have fun, but not at any team facility. Not why 1444 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:56,639 Speaker 2: you're at a stadium, headquarters, practice fields, facilities, not none 1445 01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,799 Speaker 2: of that. You can't do that. And that's what happened 1446 01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 2: with Jamison Williams and CJ. Moore, a safety for the Lions. 1447 01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 2: They both were suspended six games. They were betting on 1448 01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,599 Speaker 2: their app. As you well know of betting is legal 1449 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 2: in thirty three states now and the new fangled way 1450 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,320 Speaker 2: to bet. You take a state like New Jersey. They've 1451 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:20,880 Speaker 2: been phenomenal in their revolution of legalized betting. Probably eighty 1452 01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,640 Speaker 2: three percent of the action he's bet through an app versus. 1453 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,479 Speaker 3: Walking into a brick and mortar sports book. 1454 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:32,040 Speaker 2: So as innocuous as it may sound, when Jamison Williams 1455 01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 2: and CJ. Moore, we're at the Allen Park facility a 1456 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,600 Speaker 2: few months back placing a bet on a game, and 1457 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,360 Speaker 2: it was not an NFL game, nor did they engage 1458 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,680 Speaker 2: in any you know, inside information that that was part 1459 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,760 Speaker 2: of the investigation. It may have been innocuous, but they 1460 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:53,559 Speaker 2: violated the policy and ignorance, unfortunately, is not a defense 1461 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 2: at the law. And the NFL is very hyper vigilant 1462 01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 2: about the optics and how this looks. They cannot take 1463 01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 2: a chance on creating any kind of visual observation that 1464 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,600 Speaker 2: would make an NFL game look like the outcome was 1465 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 2: compromised or wasn't authentic for any reason. I don't even 1466 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 2: need to spell it off for you. By the way, 1467 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 2: there's a third leg to this rule. Okay, if you 1468 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 2: are working in the NFL as a non player, you 1469 01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 2: are part of NFL or team personnel as it were. 1470 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 2: You could be a secretary, you could be chief cooking 1471 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,759 Speaker 2: bottle washer, you could be an accountant, you could be anything. 1472 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 2: You can't bet on all. You can bet on anything, period, 1473 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 2: turn ground's p termination. You can't bet on basketball, certainly 1474 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:43,479 Speaker 2: not football, baseball, female full contact, karate, corey and ping pong. 1475 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,439 Speaker 2: You can't bet on anything. If you're caught, you're done. 1476 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,879 Speaker 2: It's a fireable defense. And make no mistake, the NFL's 1477 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 2: got their eyeballs everywhere. And that's what happened here. There 1478 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 2: had been an investigation going on for a while, and 1479 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 2: the Lions were just notified last month month, and they 1480 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 2: cooperated and the players cooperated, and then the announcement came. 1481 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,760 Speaker 2: But let's not overthink this, let's not overreact to this. 1482 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 2: It's minor. Remember, there are what seventeen hundred NFL players. 1483 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,200 Speaker 2: This involves five. So do you think we have a 1484 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 2: rampid problem. 1485 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 3: No, we do not. 1486 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,520 Speaker 2: And by the way, the NFL noted in this announcement 1487 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:30,400 Speaker 2: it uncovered no evidence indicating whatsoever any inside information that 1488 01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 2: was used or that any game would have been compromised 1489 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,360 Speaker 2: by betting. All right, and this is this NFL. You know, 1490 01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 2: this investigation was pretty deep, and it was going on 1491 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 2: a long time. And even though the Lions only found 1492 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,040 Speaker 2: out a month ago, it had been going on a while. 1493 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,200 Speaker 2: And to their credit, by the way the commanders, both 1494 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,639 Speaker 2: teams issued statements that they've cooperated fully with the NFL's 1495 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:54,080 Speaker 2: investigation since they received notice, and the players, certainly Jamison Williams, 1496 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,720 Speaker 2: he representative Alliance Sports, They released a statement of apology 1497 01:17:57,920 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 2: on behalf of the wide Receiver. You might want to 1498 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 2: make not of that, Draymond Green, especially instead of always 1499 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,559 Speaker 2: playing the victim and engaging in an existence that can't 1500 01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:10,160 Speaker 2: wait for more grievance and victimization and self loathing. Maybe 1501 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 2: he apologize for being an idiot. Give Jamison Williams and 1502 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 2: his team the same thing. Made an honest mistake. Let's 1503 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 2: move forward. I can't wait to see Jamison Wis Jameson 1504 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 2: Williams play he missed eleven games last year, where the 1505 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,439 Speaker 2: ACUIN is going to miss six more this year. 1506 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,360 Speaker 3: But you know his violation was not for betting. 1507 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:30,680 Speaker 2: On football, but it was you know, part of the 1508 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 2: technical rule in terms of the actual location and where 1509 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 2: the online bet was placed. And you know the story, 1510 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,559 Speaker 2: and so we don't need to keep going down that road. 1511 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 3: What's what's the moral here? Okay, by the. 1512 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 2: Way, both Jamison Williams and and any you know, he 1513 01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 2: can still continue to participate in the organized team activities. 1514 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,560 Speaker 2: He can go to mini camp, he can go to 1515 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,519 Speaker 2: training camp and the preseason, but he won't be able 1516 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 2: to play in the NFL till week number seven. So again, 1517 01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 2: let's demystify this three simple rules. You know what they are. 1518 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 3: Coming up? 1519 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,240 Speaker 2: The S two test has become all the rage as 1520 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:12,600 Speaker 2: it pertains to evaluating NFL prospects, particularly quarterbacks. Coming up, 1521 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,680 Speaker 2: we've got a story from Bob McGinn. You're gonna want 1522 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 2: to hear keep it locked.

And I'm going to dive into this because 1539 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 2: a gentleman named Bob McGinn. Bob mcgain's been covering the 1540 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,799 Speaker 2: NFL for forty years, most notably the Green Bay Packers 1541 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,160 Speaker 2: writes for a web song called Golong Teach a website 1542 01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 2: called Golong TD. And you know, Bob, he actually gave 1543 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:35,760 Speaker 2: me a book once he wrote about the history of 1544 01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,360 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Wrote me a nice note. And 1545 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,680 Speaker 2: when I think of Bob mcgam I think of just 1546 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:48,719 Speaker 2: credibility in true journalistic chops, investigative search for the truth. 1547 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:53,160 Speaker 2: And you know, if you've been paying attention to the 1548 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 2: NFL for any amount of time, and you hear the 1549 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 2: group think echo chamber, you hear the coach speak, you 1550 01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 2: hear the analysis nauseum. Right, what are executives? How do 1551 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 2: they evaluate college quarterbacks? You know, you look at arm strength, 1552 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 2: you look at touch, you look at release, you look 1553 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:12,600 Speaker 2: at accuracy. Do they have pocket awareness? Of course, in 1554 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:14,160 Speaker 2: this day and age, you've really got to be able 1555 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,760 Speaker 2: to escape the rush? How competitive are you? You know, 1556 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,240 Speaker 2: what's your mental awareness? What's your personal character? But the 1557 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 2: NFL is constantly searching for ways to, as Bob McGain 1558 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,360 Speaker 2: put it, build a better mouse trap so that you 1559 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:35,160 Speaker 2: can reduce the amount of mistakes you make, especially when 1560 01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 2: it comes to drafting the most important position in football. 1561 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 2: It's vital now. Fifty years ago, Tom Landry, the legendary 1562 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 2: Tom Landry Dallas Cowboys and George Young, former GM in 1563 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 2: the New York Giants, they're the ones who basically introduced 1564 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,680 Speaker 2: the wonder like personnel test to the world. All Right, 1565 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:59,439 Speaker 2: it measures intelligence. It's a twelve minute test. It's fifty questions. 1566 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,640 Speaker 2: I've taken it twice. You want to know what my 1567 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:05,320 Speaker 2: score was. I scored thirty nine both times. What's interesting 1568 01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,760 Speaker 2: is when you take the test, you feel pressure. Some 1569 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,160 Speaker 2: of the questions are ridiculously easy. You might have a 1570 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,599 Speaker 2: question like, what's the eighth month of the year, August? 1571 01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,160 Speaker 2: Can you move on to the next one? Then they 1572 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 2: get harder and harder, and it plays with your mind 1573 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 2: because you know you're working against the clock and you 1574 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,880 Speaker 2: know you have fifty questions. That's part of this how 1575 01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,240 Speaker 2: do players? How do human beings react under pressure? 1576 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 3: Right? 1577 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,800 Speaker 2: And then in the eighties they started, you know, coming 1578 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 2: out with psychological tests that would measure leadership and coaching 1579 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 2: ability and maturity and all that kind of stuff. But 1580 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 2: now the newest, new fangled mechanism for judging athletes is 1581 01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:49,519 Speaker 2: called the S two Cognition Test, and it's it's starting 1582 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 2: to come to light in terms of its public awareness 1583 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,840 Speaker 2: thanks to many football executives and who are willing to 1584 01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 2: talk about it. But they believe that the quality and 1585 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 2: the accuracy of the test and the reputation of the 1586 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,880 Speaker 2: organization that built it is so strong that it's undoubtedly 1587 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,639 Speaker 2: going to affect to some degree how quarterbacks are drafted. Now, 1588 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:20,600 Speaker 2: enter Bryce Young. Clearly, Bryce Young was the top quarterback 1589 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 2: that was completely strengthened by his you know, his mastery 1590 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 2: of the S two test. 1591 01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 3: I think the maximum scores one hundred. He got like 1592 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 3: ninety eight. And that's the. 1593 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 2: Belief that that sealed the deal that enabled his draft 1594 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 2: stock to not only rise to the top, but pass 1595 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,920 Speaker 2: up C. J. Stroud, who up until about two weeks 1596 01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 2: ago people thought would be the number one pick. And 1597 01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,720 Speaker 2: there are going to be people that say, hey, guys 1598 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:49,639 Speaker 2: are great, high in the test and always play well. 1599 01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 3: That may be true, but one anonymous. 1600 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:58,240 Speaker 2: Club executive said, however, we've never had somebody grade low 1601 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 2: and play well. Take Joe Burrow. He was the number 1602 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 2: one pick in twenty twenty. He scored ninety seven percent. 1603 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 2: I think he's done pretty well. And just so you know, 1604 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,240 Speaker 2: the test is broken down into four sections visual learning, 1605 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 2: instinctive learning, impulse control, and improvisation. Joe scored between ninety 1606 01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,479 Speaker 2: four percent and ninety seven on all of those. It's 1607 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 2: a forty five minute test. You get yourself a laptop, 1608 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 2: it's a gaming laptop. What does the S two test do? 1609 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 2: It measures all players process information and makes split second decisions. 1610 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 2: Can you anticipate, can you read a defense? Can you react? 1611 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 2: Can you adapt to what's taking place in front of you? 1612 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 2: Those are now measurable skills with this technology. 1613 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 3: Now. 1614 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,439 Speaker 2: There have been multiple sources that have been quoted as 1615 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 2: saying Young's total score was ninety eight percent, whereas c. J. 1616 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 2: Straud's total score was eighteen percent. He's had a red flag. 1617 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,679 Speaker 2: Particular executive said, that's like a red alert, red alert. 1618 01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 2: You can't take a guy like that. I have Stroud 1619 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 2: as a bust. That conjunction with the fact name one 1620 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:09,559 Speaker 2: Ohio state quarterback has ever done in the league. 1621 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not really willing to go there. 1622 01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 2: He may be factually correct, and I think Justin Fields 1623 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 2: has a long way to go before being the NFL's 1624 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,639 Speaker 2: version of a duel threat quarterback, not a college version. 1625 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,200 Speaker 2: But let's also be fair about CJ. 1626 01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:23,759 Speaker 3: Stroud. 1627 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,800 Speaker 2: He's very athletic, and he's comfortable in his body and 1628 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 2: his athleticism and his escapability, and he's an outstanding rhythm passer. CJ. 1629 01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:38,000 Speaker 3: Strout has touch, he's got pacing, he's got ball. 1630 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:39,799 Speaker 2: Speed control, he can carve up a defense. 1631 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,240 Speaker 3: He hit a lot of big games. CJ. 1632 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 2: Stroud has significant passing skills. He can be an NFL starter. 1633 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,360 Speaker 2: We'll see how he adapts and what his ceiling is. 1634 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 2: But I don't know that that would stop me from 1635 01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 2: drafting him. However, it's gonna stop some executives. I promise 1636 01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:01,479 Speaker 2: you that, especially when Fresno States Kanner got ninety six percent, 1637 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,559 Speaker 2: Will Levis ninety three percent, Jaron Hall from Brigham Young 1638 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 2: eighty four percent, and then of course Anthony Richardson, He's 1639 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,600 Speaker 2: right on the threshold. Eighty percent is considered good. He 1640 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,040 Speaker 2: got seventy nine percent. I would call that pretty good, 1641 01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,719 Speaker 2: but Hendon Hooker forty six percent. 1642 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,760 Speaker 3: Now, look, the. 1643 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 2: Reason that Bryce Young in his score was so extraordinary 1644 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,280 Speaker 2: is because as you take this test and as you 1645 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,560 Speaker 2: move from questioning to question, he shows he's got this 1646 01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:36,040 Speaker 2: type of intelligence and awareness that would allow him to 1647 01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,560 Speaker 2: engage in what you would call an anticipatory type of 1648 01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:43,600 Speaker 2: play that evaluators talent evaluators often cite as what is 1649 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,160 Speaker 2: one of the greatest assets a quarterback needs to have. 1650 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 3: I talked about this at the top of the show. 1651 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 2: Quarterback is a position you play with your eyes, you 1652 01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:58,479 Speaker 2: receive the ball, you make mental snapshots. You match up 1653 01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:00,600 Speaker 2: your pre snap reach with your post snap reads in 1654 01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,799 Speaker 2: new execute, you gotta do it all within two seconds. 1655 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,840 Speaker 2: Then again, another executive said, when he was informed that 1656 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 2: Stroud scored extremely low, that confirmed. 1657 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,200 Speaker 3: What he had seen on tape. Quote and I don't 1658 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:14,120 Speaker 3: know who the scout was. 1659 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,040 Speaker 2: Quote. That was my concern with him. 1660 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 8: He said. 1661 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,240 Speaker 2: His personality is sort of calm and mellow and laid back. 1662 01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,240 Speaker 2: That's the way he plays. But you look at Bryce 1663 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,800 Speaker 2: Young and how he plays now Strad plays. I don't 1664 01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 2: see how anyone can look at those two players and 1665 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 2: say you'd want Stroud over Young. Bryce's mind is so 1666 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,719 Speaker 2: quick and he processes so fast, whereas with Stroud everything 1667 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:38,000 Speaker 2: is much more programmed. That's one particular NFL scout. That's 1668 01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 2: what makes a horse race. 1669 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 3: Right. 1670 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,080 Speaker 2: Let's go back to brock Purdy. He was drafted two 1671 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two last year. Now, again, the bench 1672 01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 2: mark is eighty eighty and above is good. They say 1673 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,400 Speaker 2: Stroud was eighteen. They consider that not too good. He's 1674 01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:56,800 Speaker 2: gonna follow off some team's boards. What did brock Purdy 1675 01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,600 Speaker 2: get last year? Now, mind you, brock Purty does not 1676 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 2: have Stroud's athleticism, arm strength, passing ability, but pretty good, 1677 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 2: believe it or not. Even though he was the final 1678 01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,679 Speaker 2: player selected in twenty twenty two, he had the highest 1679 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 2: S two score among every single rookie, regardless of position. 1680 01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,960 Speaker 2: And so the truth of the matter is there seems 1681 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 2: to be a cause of effect as to whether or 1682 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:26,000 Speaker 2: not you score well in this S two S two tests, 1683 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 2: assuming again, you've got to have a base level of talent, right, 1684 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 2: you can't just be young. Sheldon and scored ninety nine 1685 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,759 Speaker 2: on the S two test to become an NFL quarterback. 1686 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,560 Speaker 2: But what's interesting is this S two test and the 1687 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 2: results that we are seeing in thousands of these have 1688 01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 2: been administered. You're just starting to find out about it now. 1689 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,880 Speaker 2: They took a survey of sixteen evaluators. These are guys 1690 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 2: that deministered this test, and they started asking them who 1691 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:59,080 Speaker 2: would be their choice as the best chance for the 1692 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:03,360 Speaker 2: quarterback in this draft clash to be a bust. Kind 1693 01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,639 Speaker 2: of harsh, right, but they were asked for their choice 1694 01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,920 Speaker 2: as the quarterback with the best chance to be a bust, 1695 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 2: and they said Shroud right behind Richardson and Levis the 1696 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,120 Speaker 2: bus count. This is out of sixteen evaluators eight for Richardson, 1697 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 2: five for Levis, two for Strod, one for Bryce Young. 1698 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 2: In addition, they asked a panel to rank their top 1699 01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,800 Speaker 2: quarterback on a one two, three four five basis. A 1700 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:31,599 Speaker 2: first place vote was five points, the second place vote 1701 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 2: for You get the picture. Bryce Young had ten first 1702 01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:39,800 Speaker 2: place votes seventy two points. That led the way, but 1703 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:40,559 Speaker 2: again CJ. 1704 01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 3: Stroud was right behind him. 1705 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,719 Speaker 2: He had fifty six points two first place votes, followed 1706 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:49,160 Speaker 2: by Levis, Richardson, and Hooker, and then Max Duggan was 1707 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:53,120 Speaker 2: in there somewhere. So the truth of the matter is 1708 01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:58,280 Speaker 2: that this whole collection of quarterbacks, based on what Scoutson 1709 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:01,799 Speaker 2: evaluators are saying, it's just barely a bit above average. 1710 01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,360 Speaker 2: You don't field, there's that one real bona fide guy. 1711 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 2: There's no Andrew Luck, there's no Joe Burrow. Remember suck 1712 01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:10,000 Speaker 2: for Luck, tank for Tua, and I like to Hi 1713 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:10,840 Speaker 2: by the way, I don't think. 1714 01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:11,639 Speaker 3: He's gonna have a good career. 1715 01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, that class was way better coming out. There's 1716 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,840 Speaker 2: no question that this class is not that class. One 1717 01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,920 Speaker 2: other anonymous evaluator basically said that he believed that this 1718 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:27,280 Speaker 2: is the most overhyped quarterback class that he can recall. 1719 01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,080 Speaker 2: He believes every one of these quarterbacks is flawed, some 1720 01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 2: of them with the major flaws. And you're probably asking, well, 1721 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 2: what's Bryce So I guess it's the size, right, five 1722 01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 2: ten two four, whatever the case may be. I've done 1723 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,479 Speaker 2: my research, gone back twenty five years. There's no correlation 1724 01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,080 Speaker 2: between the size of quarterback and getting hurt. Big ones 1725 01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:45,720 Speaker 2: get hurt, little ones get hurt. 1726 01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:47,000 Speaker 3: I think size is. 1727 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:51,519 Speaker 2: The least important evaluation when it comes to a quarterback. 1728 01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,240 Speaker 2: Even Andy Reid said, I don't care what your height is, 1729 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to learn to throw between tall buildings, 1730 01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 2: not over tall buildings. Bryce Chunk's get that out man. 1731 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 2: This guy I saw him in high school when he 1732 01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:04,840 Speaker 2: was in modern day. They came into town here in 1733 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, and they walked all over Bishop Gorman, one 1734 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,439 Speaker 2: of the best teams in the country. I couldn't believe 1735 01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:11,799 Speaker 2: how good Bryce Young was that carried out in Alabama. 1736 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,640 Speaker 2: He's also got they in factor. He makes plays, he 1737 01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,920 Speaker 2: finds things, he's magical and his ability. I truly believe 1738 01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 2: he's got that. And so you know, the great Bill 1739 01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 2: Walsh once said, when evaluating a quarterback. Don't tell me 1740 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 2: what he can do, tell me what he can't do. Well, 1741 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:35,880 Speaker 2: what can't Bryce Young do when the ball is snapped? So, yes, 1742 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,120 Speaker 2: there are guys saying that none of these are Andrew 1743 01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 2: Luck or Trevor Lawrence. But again, Luck never even got 1744 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 2: through a Super Bowl much. Let's win one. Lawrence he's 1745 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:46,720 Speaker 2: got a hell of a future, but he came out 1746 01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:48,360 Speaker 2: of the gay little slow right. 1747 01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 3: Probably not his fault. I think the world of Trevor Lawrence. 1748 01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:57,080 Speaker 2: One other evaluator said, history tells us probably four of 1749 01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:59,759 Speaker 2: the five top will be top five will be busts. 1750 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:04,320 Speaker 2: All right, well that's not exactly a revelation. Later in 1751 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:07,280 Speaker 2: the show, I'm going to talk about the percentages and 1752 01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:11,599 Speaker 2: is it really worth the gamble drafting a first round 1753 01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,680 Speaker 2: quarterback when you come to find out how often it 1754 01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 2: doesn't work. That's that's just simply a fact. This is 1755 01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:25,479 Speaker 2: a real, a real crap shoot. So the S two test, 1756 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna hear more about it. I bet you there 1757 01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:30,240 Speaker 2: should be an overunder on how many times it's mentioned 1758 01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:31,720 Speaker 2: on the Thursday night broadcast. 1759 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:36,040 Speaker 3: This has simply become what you would consider to be 1760 01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:37,400 Speaker 3: a key. 1761 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:42,400 Speaker 2: Cog in the evaluation process of NFL quarterbacks. 1762 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 4: What is it? 1763 01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 2: It's essentially a forty yard dash for the brain. So 1764 01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:53,520 Speaker 2: we've got five quarterbacks who have essentially dominated the newswire, 1765 01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:57,799 Speaker 2: Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, Handed Hooker, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson. 1766 01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,120 Speaker 2: I know Bill Watsh would rather hear what they can't do, 1767 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:04,479 Speaker 2: but let's talk a little bit about what they can do. 1768 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:08,519 Speaker 2: Let's be fair. Irrespective of the S two test. I'll 1769 01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,559 Speaker 2: give you what the scouts are saying on each one 1770 01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,759 Speaker 2: of those quarterbacks. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle or Comedy 1771 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:17,000 Speaker 2: live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios. 1772 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,320 Speaker 3: Stick and stay. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show 1773 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. 1774 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,280 Speaker 11: They're back on The Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio 1775 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,559 Speaker 11: Company live from the tire Act dot Com studios here 1776 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:31,680 Speaker 11: in Las Vegas, taking up to three am Pacific six 1777 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 11: a m. 1778 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 3: Eastern. 1779 01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,799 Speaker 2: Coming up the bottom of the hour, the NFL draft 1780 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:40,240 Speaker 2: our first round quarterbacks really worth the gamble. Here's another 1781 01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:41,160 Speaker 2: keas for you. 1782 01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:42,640 Speaker 3: Of one hundred and. 1783 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,960 Speaker 2: Nineteen quarterbacks drafted in the first round since nineteen sixty seven, 1784 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 2: nine have made it to the Hall of Fame. Hold 1785 01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 2: that thought. I mean, look, the bottom line is it's 1786 01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:57,040 Speaker 2: the first round. That first round player you hope is 1787 01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:58,960 Speaker 2: going to be a starter for five to ten years. 1788 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:02,240 Speaker 2: You hope he gets on the few right away. Every 1789 01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:05,360 Speaker 2: quarterbacks the project. Hey, even Patrick Mahomes sat a year 1790 01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:08,680 Speaker 2: before he got on the field. He says it did 1791 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 2: him a world of good. Go back and research. Tom 1792 01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:13,280 Speaker 2: Brady's first year in the year two thousand and finally 1793 01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,800 Speaker 2: got in the final week against the Lions in a 1794 01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:21,439 Speaker 2: meaningless game. All project look some of more projects than others, 1795 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:23,400 Speaker 2: but they're all a project in some form of fashion. 1796 01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,679 Speaker 2: You other guy I can recall that just stepped out 1797 01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 2: on the field and looked like he'd been there for 1798 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,120 Speaker 2: ten years. Was Cam Newtony threw for like four hundred 1799 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 2: and forty yards in his first game ever, and then 1800 01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:33,840 Speaker 2: you know, within three years ago, I think he was 1801 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. I'll give it up to him 1802 01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 2: for how fast he adapted. 1803 01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:38,960 Speaker 3: That's rare. That's rare. 1804 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:41,200 Speaker 2: So the question is, if you look at these five names, 1805 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:48,439 Speaker 2: you have to ask yourself, if statistics hold, then more 1806 01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 2: are going to be unsuccessful than versus successful. Now, I 1807 01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,599 Speaker 2: don't want to cast that dispersion maybe we have an 1808 01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:56,000 Speaker 2: outlier class, but the scouts are telling me this is 1809 01:34:56,120 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 2: not okay. What are the scouts saying about these five quarterbacks? 1810 01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,519 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, Will Levis, Henning Hookers, DJ Strout. Let's start 1811 01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:08,400 Speaker 2: with Bryce Young, who is gonna go number one overall Thursday. 1812 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:11,439 Speaker 2: And I just spent a significant amount of time talking 1813 01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 2: about incredibly high he scored on the S two test, 1814 01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 2: the cognition test, recognition, Reid react, It's a forty yard 1815 01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 2: dash for the brain. He's a brilliant kid. Bryce Young. 1816 01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:25,320 Speaker 2: Now he's a size art liar. He'll be the smallest 1817 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:29,960 Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL the moment he's drafted, they say, 1818 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 2: the scouts say, he's got average armpower, but he's a 1819 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:39,599 Speaker 2: natural passer, and he's got this instinctive feel for throw location, 1820 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:42,280 Speaker 2: and he can extend plays. 1821 01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:43,840 Speaker 3: With his feet and his arm. 1822 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:49,320 Speaker 2: And despite these prototypical physical traits that everybody wants to have, 1823 01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:55,320 Speaker 2: you want a big quarterback. Draft Dan McGuire, Markinwriter's Brother. 1824 01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,080 Speaker 2: He's six foot seven, draft packed the lynch, He's sixty five. 1825 01:35:58,880 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 2: Look forget his height. 1826 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 3: Despite his. 1827 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,200 Speaker 2: Not me summer saying he has limited physical traits. What 1828 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:08,960 Speaker 2: Bryce Young does have is high end in tangibles and 1829 01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:11,960 Speaker 2: the talent required to not only be his starter in 1830 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,360 Speaker 2: the NFL, but an impact starter. Even the scouts agree 1831 01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:19,440 Speaker 2: to that, and I've researched it. I see no correlation 1832 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,640 Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years between size of quarterback 1833 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 2: and getting hurt. 1834 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:26,400 Speaker 3: Big quarterbacks get hurt. 1835 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,519 Speaker 2: Andrew Luck I hit more than Rocky ball ball. He's 1836 01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:34,519 Speaker 2: a big guy. Look at Cam Newton, big guy Andreies. 1837 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:35,519 Speaker 3: He got hit a lot. 1838 01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:38,720 Speaker 2: So big quarterbacks get hurt. Small quarterbacks get hurt. But 1839 01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 2: there's no correlation. What if Bryce Young can play the 1840 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 2: position in a way where he avoids those hits and 1841 01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 2: he got hit. He got hit at Bama by the way, 1842 01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,479 Speaker 2: he proved he could take a hit. CJ. Stroud, who 1843 01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,439 Speaker 2: up until two or three weeks ago was number one, 1844 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,439 Speaker 2: the presumed number one overall pick. 1845 01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,120 Speaker 3: That has changed now. 1846 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:03,080 Speaker 2: Once Scott said that Stroud must become more comfortable than 1847 01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 2: embracing his athleticism and his capability. But they said he's 1848 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 2: an outstanding rhythm passer because he's got touch, he's got pacing, 1849 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:12,599 Speaker 2: he's got ball speed control. 1850 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:14,599 Speaker 3: He's a guy in car up a defense. 1851 01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 2: He saw how he did against Georgia almost single Handley 1852 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:22,840 Speaker 2: beat Georgia because CJ. Stroud has exquisite passing skills, and 1853 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:26,439 Speaker 2: that gives him an encouraging start as an NFL starter 1854 01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:30,559 Speaker 2: and then something to build on and develop as a creator. 1855 01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:33,400 Speaker 2: He's gonna have to, you know, he's gonna have to 1856 01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:37,000 Speaker 2: develop recognition skills beyond what he measures at. But he can, 1857 01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,800 Speaker 2: We'll see. That's gonna ultimately determine CJ. 1858 01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:42,439 Speaker 3: Stroud's ceiling. 1859 01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:47,200 Speaker 2: Can he recognize can he make the pre snap post 1860 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:50,280 Speaker 2: snap reads execute? He plays a live with his feet 1861 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:54,519 Speaker 2: if he's looking downfield. If the team's in man, well 1862 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,600 Speaker 2: you run north and south because the DB's bachelor to you. 1863 01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,880 Speaker 2: The safety is thirty yards away. If they're in zone, 1864 01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:03,120 Speaker 2: you run horizontally. Allow your receivers to set it just 1865 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,560 Speaker 2: their rous. Even if you take off and run to 1866 01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 2: extend a play, you've still got to be able to 1867 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:12,120 Speaker 2: read and recognize what you're looking at. Henon Hooker, what 1868 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,360 Speaker 2: did the scouts say about him? Said? Hooker must refine 1869 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,920 Speaker 2: his internal clock and his progression reads. But his instinctive athleticism, 1870 01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:25,000 Speaker 2: his football character, his poised decision making amid chaos, those 1871 01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 2: are very appealing traits right now, Hennon Hooker projects as 1872 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 2: a developmental passer, but they believe he's got real starting 1873 01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:37,439 Speaker 2: potential as long as remember he's coming off in ACL 1874 01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,720 Speaker 2: as long as his knees healthy. But he put up 1875 01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,360 Speaker 2: incredible numbers at Tennessee against some of the best defenses 1876 01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,080 Speaker 2: in the country. All right, well, Levis, So I haven't 1877 01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 2: made my mind up on yet. I feel like he's 1878 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 2: another j Cutler, not you know, Cutler got the rep 1879 01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:54,840 Speaker 2: as a bad guy, and sometimes he was, sometimes he wasn't. 1880 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm not comparing their personalities. What I remember in two 1881 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 2: thousand and six, do you know who? I was covering 1882 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:05,599 Speaker 2: the Lions who did a draft show, and people were 1883 01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 2: talking about drafting Cutler and Detroit because they had already 1884 01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:11,320 Speaker 2: had enough of Joey Harrington. I remember thinking to myself, no, 1885 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,599 Speaker 2: don't want them. Why hard look at his record at Vanderbilt. 1886 01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,679 Speaker 2: Tell me the college quarterback that couldn't win in college 1887 01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:19,080 Speaker 2: but all of a sudden figures it out in the pro. 1888 01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,720 Speaker 2: So the same thing about Josh Rosen. You man, donna 1889 01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:24,320 Speaker 2: have a great win loss record at UCLA great interception 1890 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:28,040 Speaker 2: touchdown to interception ratio. Either you didn't win how's he 1891 01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 2: done in the NFL? Well, did Levis win in Kentucky? Well, 1892 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:35,559 Speaker 2: then what leads you to believe he's going to step 1893 01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:37,479 Speaker 2: in the NFL and win. I was physically gifted, there's 1894 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 2: no question, But I think most scouts believe Levis needs 1895 01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:43,200 Speaker 2: a lot more reps to develop in his redefficiency and 1896 01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:47,960 Speaker 2: his wall placement isn't always consistent. But Will Levis does 1897 01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 2: have an NFL starter skill set because of his physical tools, 1898 01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 2: big stud big frame size, arm athleticism, and they say 1899 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,639 Speaker 2: he's got exceptional competitive toughness. 1900 01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:59,519 Speaker 3: They compare him to Carson Wentz. 1901 01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,360 Speaker 2: That can be a positive, it might be a negative, 1902 01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:04,800 Speaker 2: but they both have the same starter level trades. And 1903 01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,479 Speaker 2: before Carson Wentz got hurt, he was out of a 1904 01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 2: quarterback just was never the same coming back from those injuries. 1905 01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:12,200 Speaker 2: He was all set to lead the Eagles into the 1906 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,200 Speaker 2: Super Bowl back in twenty seventeen, got hurt and then 1907 01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 2: Nick Foles took over. You saw what happened. Finally, Anthony Richardson, 1908 01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:21,639 Speaker 2: I really like him. I loved his chalk talk session 1909 01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:26,679 Speaker 2: with Steve Marriyutci was awesome, But he's real Project thirteen 1910 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,639 Speaker 2: starts only completed fifty three percent of his passes. 1911 01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:31,599 Speaker 3: He's not real accurate. 1912 01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:35,080 Speaker 2: We don't know about his decision making, but he's a 1913 01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:38,479 Speaker 2: freak show talent because he's got the combination size, speed, 1914 01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:42,759 Speaker 2: arm strength. And if you watch him on film Anthony Richardson, 1915 01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:45,840 Speaker 2: he would cause you to be very optimistic because you 1916 01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:48,280 Speaker 2: see what he's capable of. He had a lot of 1917 01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:52,000 Speaker 2: highlight reel plays and so what that does that leads 1918 01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:54,920 Speaker 2: to his ceiling. People were asking him, who cares about 1919 01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:56,759 Speaker 2: his vertical leap. 1920 01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:57,439 Speaker 3: And broad jump. 1921 01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,280 Speaker 2: Well, those show that he's an explosive athlete, and he 1922 01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,640 Speaker 2: is an explosive athlete. You know he's gonna be an 1923 01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:05,240 Speaker 2: RPO guy. But you know, if you put him in 1924 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:09,880 Speaker 2: a vertical passing offense that can utilize his athleticism, you 1925 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:11,800 Speaker 2: might have yourself a hell of a quarterback there. But 1926 01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:13,800 Speaker 2: he needs a lot of on field reps. He's gonna 1927 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,200 Speaker 2: need a real patient coaching staff because there's not a 1928 01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:17,960 Speaker 2: dot in my mind. He might struggle early. I'm not 1929 01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:21,200 Speaker 2: saying struggle like you know Malik Willis did. But remember 1930 01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,439 Speaker 2: how they were talking about Malik Willis last year. Well, 1931 01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:27,400 Speaker 2: he's that that might be an issue that really might 1932 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,719 Speaker 2: be an issue going forward. I'm not sure about his future, 1933 01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:33,360 Speaker 2: but let Anthony Richardson have the opportunity to do what 1934 01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 2: he can do. 1935 01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:36,439 Speaker 3: So that's what the scouts say. So the question, is the. 1936 01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:41,160 Speaker 2: NFL draft our first round quarterbacks really worth the gamble? 1937 01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:45,200 Speaker 2: Let's look at the history the first Let's go back 1938 01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:47,160 Speaker 2: to our guy, Steve de Seger with the latest. 1939 01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,479 Speaker 9: The Lakers are up two games to one on Memphis 1940 01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,559 Speaker 9: in the NBA Playoffs first round. LA won at home tonight, 1941 01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,960 Speaker 9: one eleven to one oh one. It wasn't that close. 1942 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,919 Speaker 9: Lakers led after the first quarter thirty five to nine. Eventually, 1943 01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:03,000 Speaker 9: Jahn Moran scored twenty two straight Memphis points in the 1944 01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:05,920 Speaker 9: fourth quarter. He finished with forty five, but in defeat. 1945 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,280 Speaker 9: Moran had missed the previous game with a bruised hand. 1946 01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:11,200 Speaker 9: Miami's up two games to one after beating number one. 1947 01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:14,800 Speaker 9: Milwaukee won twenty one to ninety nine. Giannis Tenecumpo was 1948 01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 9: out again for the Bucks with a bruise back. Phoenix 1949 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:19,880 Speaker 9: leads three games to one after downing the Clippers in 1950 01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:23,680 Speaker 9: LA won twelve one hundred. Philadelphia completed a four game 1951 01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:26,559 Speaker 9: sweep of its first round series, winning at Brooklyn ninety 1952 01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,360 Speaker 9: six eighty eight, and Joel Embiid did not play due 1953 01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:32,160 Speaker 9: to a spring knee.

The a's record falls 1972 01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:33,080 Speaker 9: to four and seventeen, and the Kansas City Royals ended 1973 01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,439 Speaker 9: a seven game losing streak with an eleven to eight 1974 01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,840 Speaker 9: win at the Angels. Casey with five and the ninth 1975 01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:40,719 Speaker 9: I'm Steve Disager, all right, thanks. 1976 01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:44,919 Speaker 2: So much, Steve. So in the usual suspects, Anthony Richardson, 1977 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:46,559 Speaker 2: will Elevis, Brice Young, CJ. 1978 01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:47,639 Speaker 3: Stroud and a hooker. 1979 01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:50,719 Speaker 2: What's gonna happen Thursday and of course Friday and Saturday 1980 01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 2: as well? 1981 01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:54,000 Speaker 3: The age old question, do. 1982 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:58,280 Speaker 2: You take a potential project at quarterback knowing your return 1983 01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:04,120 Speaker 2: on investment might be while? If ever, or maybe do 1984 01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,680 Speaker 2: you draft an impact defensive player that can step on 1985 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,200 Speaker 2: the field and help your day once he There's always 1986 01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:14,320 Speaker 2: a debate every time this time every year, and it's 1987 01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,800 Speaker 2: to the belief that the next great NFL quarterback is 1988 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:17,920 Speaker 2: staring you right in the face. 1989 01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:20,200 Speaker 3: You know, Trey Lance. 1990 01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 2: Go back and read the narrative, Malik Willis, Ryan Leaf, 1991 01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:26,679 Speaker 2: go back and reread the narratives. Hope spring to turnal? 1992 01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 2: How did it work out for those three and I'm 1993 01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:32,120 Speaker 2: not mixed up. The first two are still playing. But 1994 01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:35,519 Speaker 2: if I'm a Betman and I am Trey Lancer Malik 1995 01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:37,240 Speaker 2: Willis are not going to make a mark in this league. 1996 01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,280 Speaker 2: But that's a conversation for a different day. I've already 1997 01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:44,240 Speaker 2: given my reasons why multiple times. Sometimes I will participate. 1998 01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:46,360 Speaker 2: Why not, I'll throw all in and get in a 1999 01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:50,120 Speaker 2: heated debate and take part in a few comments myself. 2000 01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:53,320 Speaker 3: But rather than do that, as I said, if you 2001 01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:53,720 Speaker 3: want to. 2002 01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 2: Think like a journalist, it's not a situation where if 2003 01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:58,680 Speaker 2: if one side tells you it's raining and the other 2004 01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:01,599 Speaker 2: side tells you it's not raining, you argue and ask questions. 2005 01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:03,519 Speaker 2: It's your job to look out the window and see 2006 01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,680 Speaker 2: for yourself. So I started to do some research, and 2007 01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:09,360 Speaker 2: I dug did some digging all the way back to 2008 01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven. There have been one hundred and nineteen 2009 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:17,080 Speaker 2: first round quarterback pick since nineteen sixty seven, and it 2010 01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 2: leads you to an obvious conclusion. For every John Elway 2011 01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:25,120 Speaker 2: or Dan Marino or Peyton Manning or Patrick Mahomes, there 2012 01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:27,720 Speaker 2: are ten guys who will never live up to the expectations. 2013 01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,800 Speaker 2: For every Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, there's a Zach 2014 01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 2: Wilson or Jameis Winston. Let me explain, because when you 2015 01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,840 Speaker 2: take a guy in the first round, there are massive expectations. 2016 01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,280 Speaker 2: Massive When the team uses their first round pick to 2017 01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 2: draft a quarterback, they're looking for the future of the franchise, 2018 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:46,680 Speaker 2: not just a guy can play a position, but the 2019 01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:49,360 Speaker 2: future of the franchise. Now, they don't expect you to 2020 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:52,120 Speaker 2: turn the team around in the first month, although that'd 2021 01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:55,720 Speaker 2: be nice if you did. But the draft pick is 2022 01:45:55,800 --> 01:46:00,400 Speaker 2: expected to eventually a become the team leader, be the 2023 01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:03,479 Speaker 2: phrase of the franchise. And oh, by the way, you're 2024 01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 2: gonna be the guy that leads the team to the 2025 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:09,559 Speaker 2: super Bowl. You select the quarterback in the first round, 2026 01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,519 Speaker 2: you're gonna face more scrutiny than any other pick in 2027 01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:16,360 Speaker 2: any other sport. If that team wins, guess what, you're 2028 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:21,240 Speaker 2: a hero. They put you on your shoulders when you're 2029 01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:25,120 Speaker 2: leaving the field because the quarterback, he was the guy 2030 01:46:25,200 --> 01:46:27,120 Speaker 2: with the command, He was the guy with the leadership 2031 01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:29,000 Speaker 2: that got the team there. Never mind, it's probably the 2032 01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:31,800 Speaker 2: most dependent position in all the sports. But be that 2033 01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,240 Speaker 2: as it may, the quarterback is the head of the snake. 2034 01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 2: But when they lose, immediately thrown under the bus by 2035 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,280 Speaker 2: the media, they'll receive one hundred percent of the blame 2036 01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:41,080 Speaker 2: for the problems. 2037 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,360 Speaker 3: So the stakes are high. 2038 01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:49,000 Speaker 2: There's a lot of pressure because every can't miss quarterback 2039 01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:52,679 Speaker 2: prospect thinks they can handle the pressure. But the truth 2040 01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:54,320 Speaker 2: of the matter is when the rubber hits the road, 2041 01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:56,559 Speaker 2: he gets hot, it's hard to breathe, and the real 2042 01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:59,599 Speaker 2: bullets start to fly. The proof is in the pudding 2043 01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:02,000 Speaker 2: or not so much. Of the one hundred and nineteen 2044 01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,800 Speaker 2: quarterbacks drafted in the first round since nineteen sixty seven, 2045 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:06,639 Speaker 2: only nine have made it to the Hall of Fame. 2046 01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:11,559 Speaker 2: That's about a ninety three percent failure eight. So if 2047 01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,880 Speaker 2: you include those potential players that are in the Hall 2048 01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:18,840 Speaker 2: of Fame, that leaves tons more drafted in the first round. 2049 01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,479 Speaker 2: What have those other players done with their careers? Well, 2050 01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:25,160 Speaker 2: let's be fair. Of those und nineteen twenty six actually 2051 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:27,120 Speaker 2: played on a team that went to the Super Bowl. 2052 01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:30,880 Speaker 2: But again we're going back fifty five years and of 2053 01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,800 Speaker 2: those twenty six players, they held the record of twenty 2054 01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,360 Speaker 2: nine and sixty in Super Bowls. And this number also 2055 01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:41,040 Speaker 2: includes players though that sat on the bench like Matt 2056 01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:44,920 Speaker 2: Lioner when Arizona lost to Pittsburgh or Byron Lefwich and 2057 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:49,000 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh won. So Hall of Fame quarterbacks, they were eleven 2058 01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:51,000 Speaker 2: to nine in the Super Bowl. And if you you know, 2059 01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,719 Speaker 2: you're gonna add Peyton Manning and all those and start 2060 01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:57,040 Speaker 2: getting to your outliers. The distinctions are that first round 2061 01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:01,880 Speaker 2: quarterbacks because they're held as such a much higher standard 2062 01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:05,960 Speaker 2: and a much different, you know, measuring stick than other players. 2063 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:10,280 Speaker 2: That when you analyze first round quarterbacks, even if they've 2064 01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:12,759 Speaker 2: been to the Super Bowl with their team, the question 2065 01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,679 Speaker 2: is what happened to the other seventy one who didn't 2066 01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:17,800 Speaker 2: lead the game, lead their team to the big game. 2067 01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:20,800 Speaker 2: That's a big number. And when they were drafted, you 2068 01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:23,320 Speaker 2: believe they would. You wanted to believe it. Otherwise you're 2069 01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:24,960 Speaker 2: I mean, you're putting your job on the line. 2070 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:25,080 Speaker 1: Now. 2071 01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:25,840 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. 2072 01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:27,639 Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. 2073 01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,320 Speaker 2: Many of the quarterbacks that were drafted in that time 2074 01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:33,400 Speaker 2: period had what you would call average to good careers. 2075 01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:36,000 Speaker 2: And there are still guys drafted, you know, in the 2076 01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,800 Speaker 2: last ten years, still after in the NFL. And I'm 2077 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,840 Speaker 2: not going to start naming names, but you know, some 2078 01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:45,920 Speaker 2: of them could still pan out. And what you don't 2079 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,880 Speaker 2: know is how how things are going to unfold when 2080 01:48:49,920 --> 01:48:52,240 Speaker 2: they take the field and they have to start getting on. 2081 01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:58,439 Speaker 2: You know, prosecuting your offense against a a an NFL 2082 01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:01,920 Speaker 2: defense is far different than a college defense. Right. So 2083 01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:03,880 Speaker 2: along the short of it, these are the numbers one 2084 01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:08,000 Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen first round quarterbacks since sixty seven. Hall 2085 01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:11,880 Speaker 2: of Famers nine, But there are still potential five Hall 2086 01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,880 Speaker 2: of famers out there. Twenty six went to the Super Bowl, 2087 01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,720 Speaker 2: twelve made all pro So there are some success But 2088 01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,439 Speaker 2: the numbers tell you. I just gave them to you. 2089 01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:23,640 Speaker 2: They speak for themselves. The truth of the matter, the 2090 01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:27,320 Speaker 2: harsh reality is drafting a quarterback in the first round. 2091 01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:32,320 Speaker 2: There is a prohibitive possibility that that quarterback is not 2092 01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:35,719 Speaker 2: going to have anywhere near the success that you hope 2093 01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:38,719 Speaker 2: they do. Coming up, we haven't brought up Lamar Jackson's 2094 01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,559 Speaker 2: name in a while. The saga continues with the drafter 2095 01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:45,479 Speaker 2: around the corner. What are the four potential things that 2096 01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:50,599 Speaker 2: could bring the Lamar saga to an end so everybody 2097 01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:53,920 Speaker 2: can move forward? What could unfold? I'm gonna lay out 2098 01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:57,080 Speaker 2: those four possibilities coming up. I'm Bernie frattele Her Company 2099 01:49:57,200 --> 01:49:59,520 Speaker 2: live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Studios. 2100 01:49:59,200 --> 01:49:59,880 Speaker 3: Tyrack dot com. 2101 01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:02,320 Speaker 2: Don't go away or listening to the Bernie Frattle Show 2102 01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:09,360 Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.

Top of the hour dance Sensation sweep 2105 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:17,960 Speaker 2: in the Nation. What kind of brand new fool are you? 2106 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:22,479 Speaker 2: Followed by what my name? All right? Lamar Jackson is 2107 01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:24,960 Speaker 2: still hanging out there since March seventh when he was 2108 01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:28,719 Speaker 2: franchised non exclusive franchised by the Baltimore Ravens. 2109 01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,600 Speaker 3: A lot of time time flies matching. 2110 01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,400 Speaker 2: That it's been what fifty six days now, whatever the 2111 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,360 Speaker 2: case may be, So something's got to give. 2112 01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:40,400 Speaker 3: Here, and there are three or four scenarios. 2113 01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:47,680 Speaker 2: Whereby the Lamar Jackson Ravens future comes to some sort 2114 01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:50,640 Speaker 2: of fruition, and with the draft coming up Thursday night, 2115 01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,800 Speaker 2: it sort of serves as a pivot point because here's why, 2116 01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:56,960 Speaker 2: there's always a possibility that there could be a pre 2117 01:50:57,240 --> 01:51:02,040 Speaker 2: draft trade and the team that's been mentioned is the Texans. 2118 01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:05,880 Speaker 2: You can't really rule it out. The Texans in theory 2119 01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:08,600 Speaker 2: could give him a three year deal one hundred and 2120 01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,919 Speaker 2: fifty million, fully guaranteed. That would give Jackson some security 2121 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:15,479 Speaker 2: he wants. It would not have to set this crazy new, 2122 01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:18,400 Speaker 2: lofty precedent for the NFL like they did with John Watson. 2123 01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:21,679 Speaker 2: Jackson would be twenty nine when the contract's done. Second 2124 01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:23,840 Speaker 2: by to the Apple. He could hit the market soon again. 2125 01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:26,920 Speaker 2: But it feels weird to me that Houston would do 2126 01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,080 Speaker 2: something like this. Houston has two high picks, number two 2127 01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:33,800 Speaker 2: and number twelve, which would entice Baltimore. Certainly Jackson gets 2128 01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,879 Speaker 2: the possible trade, Baltimore starts over with a new chief, quarterback, 2129 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:38,360 Speaker 2: new offensive scheme. 2130 01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:39,880 Speaker 3: Do I think that's gonna happen? 2131 01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:40,240 Speaker 7: No? 2132 01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:42,120 Speaker 3: I don't. Could I be wrong? 2133 01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:44,840 Speaker 2: Sure, but I don't think it's gonna happen, because, first 2134 01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 2: of all, I believe Houston he's gonna draft Will Anderson. 2135 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:51,400 Speaker 3: They're gonna draft you know, make. 2136 01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:55,600 Speaker 2: Fun of Davis Mills all you want. But he's in 2137 01:51:55,760 --> 01:52:00,120 Speaker 2: twenty eight games. He has started twenty six stock, he 2138 01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:02,800 Speaker 2: started twenty six times. He's doing for almost six thousand yards, 2139 01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,280 Speaker 2: thirty three touchdowns, and twenty five interceptions. 2140 01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,080 Speaker 3: Con Beete sixty four percent of his passes. 2141 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:10,400 Speaker 2: Now what he's raving about Justin Fields and twenty five 2142 01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,719 Speaker 2: starts he's doing for four thousand yards, not six, twenty 2143 01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:17,000 Speaker 2: four touchdowns, twenty interceptions, fifty eight percent completion. 2144 01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:18,320 Speaker 3: Wow. 2145 01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,880 Speaker 2: I realize Justin Fields could run like the wind, but 2146 01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,559 Speaker 2: how do those rushing staffs help the team win more games? 2147 01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:28,519 Speaker 2: So Houston could live with David. They're not gonna win 2148 01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:31,519 Speaker 2: next year with a new quarterback anyway, so I don't think. 2149 01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:33,960 Speaker 2: I don't think Houston would part with number two and 2150 01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:36,800 Speaker 2: number twelve to lock up to Lamar Jackson when they're 2151 01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:40,720 Speaker 2: not gonna win right away anyway. The second is a 2152 01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:42,679 Speaker 2: post draft offer sheet. 2153 01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:43,880 Speaker 3: This is a possibility. 2154 01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:48,160 Speaker 2: Obviously, Jackson has been unable to find guys who want 2155 01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:51,280 Speaker 2: to trade for him, even though he's been non exclusive 2156 01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,200 Speaker 2: franchise than any team could have done anytime in the 2157 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:56,600 Speaker 2: last six weeks. It's because you know, Jackson wants to 2158 01:52:56,680 --> 01:53:02,920 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson type deal. But to be fair, Lamar Jackson 2159 01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,280 Speaker 2: never was in a Deshaun Watson situation. Who the hell 2160 01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:08,600 Speaker 2: knew that the Cleveland Browns would be this desperate and 2161 01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:10,840 Speaker 2: everybody know Houston had to trade him, but. 2162 01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:11,960 Speaker 3: They pursue Watson. 2163 01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:14,240 Speaker 2: Watson, they turned him down, said, we don't want to 2164 01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:16,760 Speaker 2: go to Cleveland, and then all of a sudden they 2165 01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:19,240 Speaker 2: come up with the guaranteed money, and it's a hail 2166 01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:22,519 Speaker 2: Mary at work and Watson's hey can't wait to get there. 2167 01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:25,920 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson is operating in a much more restrictive environment 2168 01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:29,960 Speaker 2: right the Ravens, they've not renounced their interest in retaining them. 2169 01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:31,960 Speaker 2: I think they'd like to keep him. They offer him 2170 01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:34,800 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty three million dollars guaranteed. I've always 2171 01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:38,680 Speaker 2: said I believe Lamar Jackson in his Here's what I 2172 01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:41,800 Speaker 2: think about Lamar Jackson in that situation. I think all 2173 01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:45,400 Speaker 2: along his fight has been misguided. And I'll tell you why, 2174 01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:49,320 Speaker 2: because he's he's too He's been too obstinate about wanting 2175 01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:53,759 Speaker 2: guaranteed money, when in reality is history shows an elite 2176 01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:56,880 Speaker 2: quarterbacks who signed top tiered deals and they're still between 2177 01:53:56,880 --> 01:53:58,960 Speaker 2: the age of twenty five and twenty seven. They collect 2178 01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:00,920 Speaker 2: the full amount of the contract ninety percent of the time. 2179 01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:06,799 Speaker 2: Anyway you've got you consider today's medical advancements and treatments. 2180 01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:11,479 Speaker 2: Quarterbacks almost never have career any injuries anymore, and and 2181 01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:15,720 Speaker 2: quarterbacks are almost never cut. Not of Lamar Jackson's ilk 2182 01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,439 Speaker 2: and the Ravens attention truly was to provide Lamar with 2183 01:54:19,520 --> 01:54:23,000 Speaker 2: a traditional, top tier deal that worked for both sides, 2184 01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:26,800 Speaker 2: not the Watson Cleveland outlier. And the truth of the 2185 01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:29,479 Speaker 2: matter is, if you're gonna trade for Lamar, you're gonna 2186 01:54:29,479 --> 01:54:31,400 Speaker 2: lose two first round draft picks, You're gonna be paying 2187 01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:34,880 Speaker 2: a massive annual salary, You're gonna compromise your draft capitalimatory. 2188 01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:38,200 Speaker 2: Plus you're gonna potentially put yourself in salary cap hell, 2189 01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:42,040 Speaker 2: and you're gonna be surrounded by a skeleton crew. 2190 01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:43,400 Speaker 3: I get it. 2191 01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:45,760 Speaker 2: Lamar's otherworldly, but he's also miss ten of the last 2192 01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:46,520 Speaker 2: twenty two games. 2193 01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:47,640 Speaker 3: You know the story. 2194 01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:51,520 Speaker 2: I think Lamar needs to stay in Baltimore. It's the 2195 01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:54,880 Speaker 2: best environment for him. John Harbaugh will be the better coach. 2196 01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:59,760 Speaker 2: And that's I think scenario three. Maybe cooler heads prevail, 2197 01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:03,760 Speaker 2: all right, Jackson has wanted this fully guaranteed deal along 2198 01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:06,959 Speaker 2: the lines of Deshaun Watson, and the Ravens have resisted. 2199 01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:12,640 Speaker 2: Why can't you beat in the middle, you know again, 2200 01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:15,160 Speaker 2: a fully guaranteed three year deal for one hundred and 2201 01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:17,960 Speaker 2: fifty million, give or take a few million. Maybe both 2202 01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,520 Speaker 2: sides can claim victory. Now, Lamar was only offered one 2203 01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:23,960 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty three million only, I say, one hundred 2204 01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:26,480 Speaker 2: and thirty three million guaranteed, whereas he just saw Jalen 2205 01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:29,640 Speaker 2: Hurts get one hundred and seventy nine guaranteed. But again, 2206 01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:32,000 Speaker 2: I think the injury factor and the durability factor might 2207 01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:37,840 Speaker 2: be some concern there. But I think, and again it 2208 01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:42,720 Speaker 2: opens the door after watching what Jalen Hurts Scott. He 2209 01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:44,520 Speaker 2: didn't get two hundred and thirty million guaranteed, he got 2210 01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:47,680 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy nine guaranteed. Perhaps if you get 2211 01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:51,600 Speaker 2: in the area splitable differences. Cooler heads prevailed and Baltimore 2212 01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:53,480 Speaker 2: after the draft could say, all right, why don't we 2213 01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:55,880 Speaker 2: do this. We offer you two fifty one to thirty 2214 01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:59,600 Speaker 2: three guaranteed, Why don't we offer you two fifty Let's 2215 01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:02,840 Speaker 2: make it one to seventy five guaranteed. When he accept that, 2216 01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,840 Speaker 2: I have no idea, but or they give him three 2217 01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:07,880 Speaker 2: years one hundred and fifty. That's kind of what the 2218 01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:11,160 Speaker 2: Vikings did with Kirk Cousins a few years ago, and 2219 01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:13,320 Speaker 2: it seems to have worked out. Now the Ravens are 2220 01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:16,520 Speaker 2: gonna face some salary cap challenges because shorter deals make 2221 01:56:16,560 --> 01:56:18,840 Speaker 2: it tougher to spread out the charges. You know, you 2222 01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:22,120 Speaker 2: can't do as much creative accounting. But they could also 2223 01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:25,560 Speaker 2: keep Jackson without you know, committing him, committing to him 2224 01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,000 Speaker 2: for a long term. He'd you know, through age twenty nine. 2225 01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:31,920 Speaker 2: That could appeal to both sides. You can't discount Jackson 2226 01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:34,600 Speaker 2: has had recent injuries. Okay, you got to protect the organization. 2227 01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,400 Speaker 2: What if Jackson continues to wear down physically because he 2228 01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:40,440 Speaker 2: runs so frequently. That's just a fact, and that's what 2229 01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:41,120 Speaker 2: they're telling us. 2230 01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:43,840 Speaker 3: It is their money. But a shorter term deal is 2231 01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,720 Speaker 3: a logical solution. If he stays with Baltimore three years, one. 2232 01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:49,640 Speaker 2: Hundred and fifty million, whatever, Scenario number four is the 2233 01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:53,000 Speaker 2: nuclear option. Under this scenario, Jackson and the Ravens they 2234 01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 2: continue their staring contest. Jackson doesn't show up to offseason workouts, 2235 01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:02,320 Speaker 2: he blows off mini can, he vacates training camp. He'd 2236 01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:04,320 Speaker 2: fall behind in a learning curve with a new offense, 2237 01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:06,919 Speaker 2: he might struggle to bill report with his teammates. 2238 01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:07,720 Speaker 3: And obviously, let's not. 2239 01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:11,560 Speaker 2: Forget he's got Olddell Beckham Junior there now too. What 2240 01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:13,840 Speaker 2: if Jackson pulls a levy on Bell and sits out, 2241 01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,360 Speaker 2: or maybe he just misses a game or two, but 2242 01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:18,280 Speaker 2: he hangs out just in time to come back and 2243 01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:21,440 Speaker 2: collect most of his thirty two million dollars salary. Jackson 2244 01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:24,600 Speaker 2: would gain nothing from sitting out the season unless he 2245 01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:27,280 Speaker 2: thought his absence might force the Ravens into a trade. Now, 2246 01:57:27,320 --> 01:57:31,080 Speaker 2: after July seventeenth, franchise players cannot sign new deals with 2247 01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:35,200 Speaker 2: their current teams until March of twenty twenty four. Hopefully 2248 01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 2: cooler heads prevailed. The nuclear option would be bad for everybody, 2249 01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:43,320 Speaker 2: but Lamar Jackson seems so pissed. Nothing would surprise me. 2250 01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:46,320 Speaker 2: But the draft is a key pivot point this weekend. 2251 01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:49,120 Speaker 2: So let's see what happens with Lamar Jackson and the 2252 01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:53,280 Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens pre and post draft. But as I've said, 2253 01:57:53,680 --> 01:57:55,560 Speaker 2: I think he ends up staying in Baltimore. 2254 01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:56,040 Speaker 3: Coming up. 2255 01:57:56,800 --> 01:57:58,440 Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool of you? And what 2256 01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:00,960 Speaker 2: my name? Keep it locked?

Sometimes these incidents are very innocuous. 2269 01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:57,040 Speaker 2: Sometimes they're very serious. Sometimes they're illegal.

We're gonna call him John Doe 2278 01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:32,960 Speaker 2: because he didn't release the name. So ladies and gentlemen, 2279 01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:36,120 Speaker 2: meet John Doe. Now, what the hell did he do? 2280 01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:39,280 Speaker 2: He earned his He earned his own inclusive State of 2281 01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:45,120 Speaker 2: Washington jail because he was on the road and he 2282 01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:48,480 Speaker 2: got behind a certain vehicle that was an official vehicle 2283 01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:51,000 Speaker 2: that was on their way back to their station, and 2284 01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:54,440 Speaker 2: the man, John Doe, became more and more impatient. This 2285 01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:58,240 Speaker 2: is an emergency vehicle, their speed, according to the news release, 2286 01:59:58,880 --> 02:00:02,120 Speaker 2: And when both vehicles reached an intersection, the man decided 2287 02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:06,000 Speaker 2: to confront the crew because the vehicle he was following, 2288 02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:09,600 Speaker 2: which is an ambulance, he believed they were just driving 2289 02:00:09,760 --> 02:00:12,520 Speaker 2: too damn slow and he had about enough of it. 2290 02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:14,440 Speaker 1: So what does he do. 2291 02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:18,560 Speaker 2: He rams the side of the ambulance and when he 2292 02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:22,040 Speaker 2: tries to escape, the two cars became interlocked and he 2293 02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:24,480 Speaker 2: got stuck.

Oh yeah, what high school did you 2506 02:11:41,800 --> 02:11:41,960 Speaker 2: go to? 2507 02:11:42,160 --> 02:11:44,960 Speaker 8: I went to Canyon High School. It's the Canyon Cowboys. 2508 02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:50,160 Speaker 8: It was the rival to Heart, which like the great 2509 02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:52,440 Speaker 8: baseballs back in the day, right, yeah, put a few. 2510 02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:55,560 Speaker 8: I mean Trevor Bauer went there. I mean, I know 2511 02:11:55,640 --> 02:11:59,240 Speaker 8: we don't talk about him much, but Trevor Bauer. Matt Moore, quarterback, 2512 02:11:59,360 --> 02:12:02,880 Speaker 8: backed up a bat. Mahomes went to Heart. The kid 2513 02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:07,120 Speaker 8: that he's on the Bengals right now. Trenton Irwin, he's 2514 02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:11,000 Speaker 8: that long haired wide receiver that's like maybe like fourth string. 2515 02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:14,480 Speaker 8: He's currently on the team, hopefully still right now. He 2516 02:12:14,560 --> 02:12:17,640 Speaker 8: went to Heart too. But yeah, no, like that's my 2517 02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:18,440 Speaker 8: hometown out there. 2518 02:12:19,600 --> 02:12:22,120 Speaker 2: Very good because I know we have all kinds and 2519 02:12:22,200 --> 02:12:25,000 Speaker 2: know Ben loves the Clippers. Some guys love the Lakers, 2520 02:12:25,080 --> 02:12:29,440 Speaker 2: some guys don't, and it's an interesting mix. I am 2521 02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:31,840 Speaker 2: in agreement with what we talked about with Mark Medina tonight, 2522 02:12:31,880 --> 02:12:34,480 Speaker 2: and that is I give the Lakers top credit for 2523 02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:36,600 Speaker 2: what they're trying to do. They started out the season 2524 02:12:36,640 --> 02:12:39,840 Speaker 2: two and ten, they finished up sixteen to seven down 2525 02:12:39,880 --> 02:12:42,520 Speaker 2: the stretch. I do think they're gonna get past Memphis, 2526 02:12:42,640 --> 02:12:45,680 Speaker 2: but all most likely play Golden State in the second round. 2527 02:12:45,760 --> 02:12:50,440 Speaker 2: It could play Sacramento, they could play in theory, they 2528 02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,720 Speaker 2: could play Phoenix. I don't think they'd get past the 2529 02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:53,960 Speaker 2: second round, but we'll see. 2530 02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:57,840 Speaker 3: All right, this past week, you know, by the way, 2531 02:12:57,960 --> 02:12:58,800 Speaker 3: in case you missed it. 2532 02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:03,320 Speaker 2: Arch Manning, who's part of the Manning family royalty, right, 2533 02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:07,440 Speaker 2: had you had Archie Manning, the father who was an 2534 02:13:07,440 --> 02:13:10,080 Speaker 2: not standing quarterback in the National Football League in the seventies, 2535 02:13:10,080 --> 02:13:14,280 Speaker 2: Actually the Saints were a five hundred team in nineteen 2536 02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:16,560 Speaker 2: seventy I believe was Archie Manning still managed to win 2537 02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:16,960 Speaker 2: the MVP. 2538 02:13:17,120 --> 02:13:19,120 Speaker 3: He was that good. He was far more mobile than 2539 02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:19,560 Speaker 3: his sons. 2540 02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:23,600 Speaker 2: But look both Peyton, who won two Super Bowls with 2541 02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:27,520 Speaker 2: two different teams, and then of course Eli, who won 2542 02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:30,960 Speaker 2: two Super Bowls beat Bill Belichick twice. They're both going 2543 02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:34,520 Speaker 2: to the Hall of Fame. They just are. Their other brother, 2544 02:13:34,680 --> 02:13:37,880 Speaker 2: Cooper had a great future, he was cut short by injury. 2545 02:13:38,480 --> 02:13:42,600 Speaker 2: Now there is the next of kin, Arch Manning, and 2546 02:13:42,880 --> 02:13:46,960 Speaker 2: Arch Manning was recruited pretty pretty heavily by Texas last year. 2547 02:13:47,920 --> 02:13:52,080 Speaker 2: Word has it that the Texas spent six figures on 2548 02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:55,960 Speaker 2: Arch Manning's official A visit last June. And he's got 2549 02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:58,280 Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame surname. Right, but he may not 2550 02:13:58,440 --> 02:14:00,400 Speaker 2: be an overnight success. As a matter matter of fact, 2551 02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:05,680 Speaker 2: Steve Sarkesian, he wasted no time. He made it clear 2552 02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:10,960 Speaker 2: after the spring game this past week that Quinn Ewers 2553 02:14:11,360 --> 02:14:15,080 Speaker 2: would be the starting quarterback in Texas, Okay, And that's 2554 02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:18,360 Speaker 2: saying something because there's many more months before the college 2555 02:14:18,400 --> 02:14:20,720 Speaker 2: football season kicks off. So I think it says a 2556 02:14:20,800 --> 02:14:25,280 Speaker 2: lot that Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has already called 2557 02:14:25,440 --> 02:14:29,200 Speaker 2: the quarterback derby between quinn Ewers and Arch Manning over right, 2558 02:14:29,320 --> 02:14:29,840 Speaker 2: it's over. 2559 02:14:30,520 --> 02:14:31,480 Speaker 3: Stop the fight, right. 2560 02:14:31,600 --> 02:14:35,680 Speaker 2: It's not the biggest surprise that Ers won out because 2561 02:14:36,320 --> 02:14:38,200 Speaker 2: you know, he's got some experience. As a matter of fact, 2562 02:14:38,200 --> 02:14:40,600 Speaker 2: yours had a story of his own. Remember he was 2563 02:14:40,640 --> 02:14:43,240 Speaker 2: the number one recruit coming out of high school two 2564 02:14:43,360 --> 02:14:46,800 Speaker 2: years ago. Word has it he got a million dollar 2565 02:14:46,960 --> 02:14:50,640 Speaker 2: nil deal, went to Ohio State. I think there's a 2566 02:14:50,720 --> 02:14:52,920 Speaker 2: pervisa win that nil deal that he had to start. 2567 02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:55,400 Speaker 2: He didn't goes to Ohio State since for a year 2568 02:14:55,520 --> 02:14:57,840 Speaker 2: had an up and down first season as a starter 2569 02:14:57,960 --> 02:15:01,080 Speaker 2: for the long runs because he got hurt. Uh. And 2570 02:15:01,240 --> 02:15:06,440 Speaker 2: so it's not like it's not like Sarkisian would just 2571 02:15:06,600 --> 02:15:08,440 Speaker 2: hand quinn Ewer as a job because he don't have 2572 02:15:08,480 --> 02:15:12,000 Speaker 2: any laurels to really rest on and he's no longer 2573 02:15:12,040 --> 02:15:16,240 Speaker 2: going to have Bejon Robinson next year. So some quarterbacks 2574 02:15:16,320 --> 02:15:18,640 Speaker 2: got to take ownership of the offense in twenty twenty three, 2575 02:15:19,360 --> 02:15:24,080 Speaker 2: and I think what happened was Manning. When Youwers found 2576 02:15:24,120 --> 02:15:27,160 Speaker 2: out that Manning was coming to Texas lit a fire 2577 02:15:27,200 --> 02:15:29,400 Speaker 2: under his butt where it has that he's cleaned up 2578 02:15:29,440 --> 02:15:33,280 Speaker 2: his diet. He's like not rocking that stupid mullet anymore. 2579 02:15:33,880 --> 02:15:37,480 Speaker 2: He's zeroed in all the time, all ball focus locked, 2580 02:15:37,880 --> 02:15:41,520 Speaker 2: you know, laser focus. And let's be honest, if you 2581 02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:46,640 Speaker 2: quinn Ewers does have very he has great arm talent. 2582 02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:49,120 Speaker 2: I've seen him just make some fabulous throws. 2583 02:15:49,120 --> 02:15:50,240 Speaker 3: So he's got a long way to go in. 2584 02:15:50,320 --> 02:15:53,040 Speaker 2: Terms of reaching and stealing whatever that ceiling may be. 2585 02:15:53,880 --> 02:15:56,200 Speaker 2: But part of what the narrative was now I was 2586 02:15:56,360 --> 02:16:02,240 Speaker 2: not at the spring game obviously, However, talking to people 2587 02:16:02,320 --> 02:16:06,240 Speaker 2: that were at the spring game, and people can say, well, 2588 02:16:06,280 --> 02:16:09,520 Speaker 2: one of the reasons that Manning looked less than is 2589 02:16:09,520 --> 02:16:12,400 Speaker 2: because he was playing with backups. But that turns out 2590 02:16:12,440 --> 02:16:14,400 Speaker 2: to be kind of a fugazy that's not true. There's 2591 02:16:14,440 --> 02:16:18,520 Speaker 2: not really much significance to it. The observations about Manning 2592 02:16:18,680 --> 02:16:20,560 Speaker 2: arch Manning, or that he's a lot more mobile than 2593 02:16:20,560 --> 02:16:26,160 Speaker 2: any of his legendary quarterback you know, the other quarterbacks 2594 02:16:26,280 --> 02:16:30,480 Speaker 2: name Manning, namely Eli and and of course Peyton. Peyton was, 2595 02:16:30,920 --> 02:16:33,800 Speaker 2: you know, is the gold standard. But he had the 2596 02:16:34,320 --> 02:16:36,800 Speaker 2: mobility of an upright vacuum cleaner. Let's face it, he 2597 02:16:36,879 --> 02:16:38,360 Speaker 2: was not going to beat you with its feet. He 2598 02:16:38,400 --> 02:16:41,200 Speaker 2: could time him in the you know forty with the 2599 02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:43,800 Speaker 2: sun dial. But you know how good he was in 2600 02:16:43,879 --> 02:16:46,440 Speaker 2: every other area that matters, including recognition, which I spent 2601 02:16:46,480 --> 02:16:47,880 Speaker 2: a lot of time talking about in the show tonight. 2602 02:16:48,720 --> 02:16:50,840 Speaker 2: This is not a dig against Manning anything like that. 2603 02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:54,880 Speaker 2: He's young, He's making a big giant transition. 2604 02:16:54,560 --> 02:16:55,760 Speaker 3: To college football. 2605 02:16:57,080 --> 02:16:59,879 Speaker 2: Add to that, there's all kinds of expectations, there's all 2606 02:17:00,120 --> 02:17:04,800 Speaker 2: kinds of pressures. If his name was Eddie Gazinski, that 2607 02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:07,280 Speaker 2: might help. But it's Arch Manning, so he's gonna have 2608 02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:09,360 Speaker 2: a target on his back. By the way, there's another 2609 02:17:09,440 --> 02:17:12,520 Speaker 2: quarterback that also played in the spring game. If you're 2610 02:17:12,600 --> 02:17:14,560 Speaker 2: going at home, and I hope you are, his name 2611 02:17:14,640 --> 02:17:17,760 Speaker 2: is Malik Murphy. And there are people, there are observers 2612 02:17:17,879 --> 02:17:21,120 Speaker 2: of the spring game that thought Malik Murphy was even 2613 02:17:21,200 --> 02:17:24,359 Speaker 2: more impressive than Arch Manning. But regardless of the context, 2614 02:17:25,160 --> 02:17:28,560 Speaker 2: you look at the development, Manning just does not have 2615 02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:32,640 Speaker 2: quin yours arm talent, not at this point anyway. And 2616 02:17:32,720 --> 02:17:35,840 Speaker 2: Youwers had a long touchdown passed is Zave you're Worthy 2617 02:17:35,879 --> 02:17:39,360 Speaker 2: down the field and it's on the Twitter machine somewhere 2618 02:17:39,400 --> 02:17:43,119 Speaker 2: you can find it. But it's about fifty five yards 2619 02:17:43,160 --> 02:17:45,600 Speaker 2: in the air, maybe sixty yards in the air, and 2620 02:17:45,680 --> 02:17:47,360 Speaker 2: he threw from one hash to the other. It's a 2621 02:17:47,480 --> 02:17:50,680 Speaker 2: kind of throw that makes an NFL scout drool. He 2622 02:17:50,840 --> 02:17:53,400 Speaker 2: hits is javi're Worthy. He hauls it in just inside 2623 02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:57,040 Speaker 2: the left sideline. There's touch under it, there's air under it. 2624 02:17:57,280 --> 02:18:00,360 Speaker 2: It shows arm strength, accuracy. He hits Worthy right and 2625 02:18:00,440 --> 02:18:03,520 Speaker 2: stride unreal and then for the game, yours was sixteen 2626 02:18:03,560 --> 02:18:05,640 Speaker 2: to twenty three hundred ninety five yards and a touchdown. 2627 02:18:06,480 --> 02:18:09,080 Speaker 2: But quinn Ewers, if he gets his head straight, he 2628 02:18:09,160 --> 02:18:11,400 Speaker 2: does have a lightning quick release. Okay, he can sling 2629 02:18:11,480 --> 02:18:14,520 Speaker 2: it from any arm angle, and you would assume his 2630 02:18:14,560 --> 02:18:17,400 Speaker 2: footwork gets better, his fundamentals get better, he gets more 2631 02:18:17,440 --> 02:18:20,000 Speaker 2: consistent on some of those, He gets more consistent on basic. 2632 02:18:19,800 --> 02:18:23,040 Speaker 3: Throws, and you know everybody forgets that. 2633 02:18:23,600 --> 02:18:27,400 Speaker 2: Viewers basically ditched his senior year in high school in 2634 02:18:27,520 --> 02:18:29,200 Speaker 2: Texas to get a head start and go straight to 2635 02:18:29,280 --> 02:18:32,760 Speaker 2: Ohio State so he maybe bit off more than he 2636 02:18:32,800 --> 02:18:34,920 Speaker 2: can chew. And you know what, Arch Manning is going 2637 02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:35,360 Speaker 2: to have to go. 2638 02:18:35,440 --> 02:18:38,200 Speaker 3: Through that same process that every other athlete does too. 2639 02:18:39,160 --> 02:18:42,480 Speaker 2: And I would say that as far as Quinn yours, 2640 02:18:42,879 --> 02:18:46,000 Speaker 2: the best thing to happen to him is Manning's commitment 2641 02:18:46,080 --> 02:18:48,600 Speaker 2: to Texas because he brings in all this kind of 2642 02:18:48,680 --> 02:18:51,960 Speaker 2: hype and fanfare before he's even played it down. And 2643 02:18:52,440 --> 02:18:55,039 Speaker 2: I think if you're Texas, you probably read Shirt Manning 2644 02:18:55,120 --> 02:19:01,680 Speaker 2: this year. Just give yours center stage, yours as potential superstar, 2645 02:19:02,480 --> 02:19:05,840 Speaker 2: potential department of redundancy department. He could make a big 2646 02:19:05,959 --> 02:19:08,280 Speaker 2: leap in year two. If Steve Sarkisi, who's very good 2647 02:19:08,280 --> 02:19:11,119 Speaker 2: with quarterbacks, he can guide him. 2648 02:19:11,000 --> 02:19:14,520 Speaker 3: And position himself. Then all of a sudden, you're Quinn yours. 2649 02:19:14,920 --> 02:19:18,440 Speaker 2: You're looking ahead to, you know, the NFL Draft someday, 2650 02:19:18,520 --> 02:19:21,800 Speaker 2: which I think he does have that that kind of potential. 2651 02:19:22,040 --> 02:19:25,039 Speaker 2: So there you have it, Arch Manning. There's no crime 2652 02:19:25,080 --> 02:19:27,480 Speaker 2: against it. There's no crime to not be ready to 2653 02:19:27,520 --> 02:19:29,880 Speaker 2: step on the field and be a superstar like you 2654 02:19:29,959 --> 02:19:32,440 Speaker 2: were in high school. This is big boy football. When 2655 02:19:32,480 --> 02:19:34,160 Speaker 2: you get to Texas, who's on their way, by the 2656 02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:38,680 Speaker 2: way to the SEC coming up Chris Perfet's World of Soccer, 2657 02:19:38,760 --> 02:19:42,080 Speaker 2: but first we go back to Steve to the Latest 2658 02:19:42,080 --> 02:19:42,840 Speaker 2: with Steve Desager. 2659 02:19:43,120 --> 02:19:45,840 Speaker 9: In the NBA playoffs, the Lakers beat Memphis one eleven 2660 02:19:45,879 --> 02:19:48,320 Speaker 9: to one oh one.

It wasn't Arsenal dropping points to 2711 02:22:42,440 --> 02:22:46,040 Speaker 13: that soon to be relegated Southampton. It wasn't anything happening 2712 02:22:46,080 --> 02:22:49,280 Speaker 13: in MLS or LA Liga or Bundesliga. It was in 2713 02:22:49,400 --> 02:22:52,600 Speaker 13: the National League. And we're not talking about baseball. We 2714 02:22:52,680 --> 02:22:55,960 Speaker 13: are talking about the English National League, the fifth tier, 2715 02:22:56,360 --> 02:23:00,840 Speaker 13: the fifth tier of English football. We are talking because 2716 02:23:00,879 --> 02:23:04,200 Speaker 13: that's where Wrexham has been for fifteen years, not even 2717 02:23:04,360 --> 02:23:07,480 Speaker 13: in the English Football League which governs tiers two to 2718 02:23:07,640 --> 02:23:11,680 Speaker 13: four in the National League, in one of the lowest 2719 02:23:11,720 --> 02:23:15,320 Speaker 13: places you can really be in soccer in the country. 2720 02:23:15,959 --> 02:23:17,400 Speaker 1: Fifteen years they were down there. 2721 02:23:17,560 --> 02:23:20,760 Speaker 13: This was a club that was looked to its supporters 2722 02:23:20,840 --> 02:23:24,480 Speaker 13: to help basically get them out of debt and had 2723 02:23:24,520 --> 02:23:27,880 Speaker 13: spent so long in dysfunction. And then two and a 2724 02:23:27,920 --> 02:23:31,039 Speaker 13: half years ago Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny buy the club, 2725 02:23:31,440 --> 02:23:35,840 Speaker 13: Hollywood actors coming to Wales, to a town that is 2726 02:23:36,040 --> 02:23:39,760 Speaker 13: post industrial, to try to turn around the fortunes of 2727 02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:43,000 Speaker 13: a club with so much history with almost one hundred 2728 02:23:43,000 --> 02:23:45,640 Speaker 13: and sixty years of history to it, to try to 2729 02:23:45,720 --> 02:23:48,920 Speaker 13: turn it around and make Wrexham and put Wrexham back 2730 02:23:48,959 --> 02:23:49,400 Speaker 13: on the map. 2731 02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:50,240 Speaker 1: And they did it. 2732 02:23:50,480 --> 02:23:52,920 Speaker 13: The race in the National League was long and hard. 2733 02:23:53,480 --> 02:23:57,080 Speaker 13: Notts County, another club in the National League, score had 2734 02:23:57,120 --> 02:24:00,640 Speaker 13: one hundred and six points after Saturdy where they won 2735 02:24:00,720 --> 02:24:04,800 Speaker 13: another game. They had been chasing Rexham all season. They 2736 02:24:04,879 --> 02:24:09,200 Speaker 13: have scored more points than they've probably ever done in 2737 02:24:09,320 --> 02:24:12,160 Speaker 13: the National League. They will come in second because Rexham 2738 02:24:12,200 --> 02:24:15,160 Speaker 13: closed that door three to one defeating Boreham Wood. It 2739 02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:17,280 Speaker 13: came on the leg of Paul Mullen, their big star, 2740 02:24:17,840 --> 02:24:21,400 Speaker 13: scoring that third goal which sealed the fate of a 2741 02:24:21,480 --> 02:24:24,200 Speaker 13: club as they could celebrate in front of their home supporters, 2742 02:24:24,560 --> 02:24:27,800 Speaker 13: in front of Ryan Reynolds, Rob Mclelhenny shedding tears and 2743 02:24:27,920 --> 02:24:30,080 Speaker 13: yes Paul Rudd was there too, and it means that 2744 02:24:30,240 --> 02:24:34,320 Speaker 13: Rexham has won the National League and secured promotion. It 2745 02:24:34,480 --> 02:24:37,520 Speaker 13: was electric, it was beautiful, and it's everything we love 2746 02:24:37,560 --> 02:24:42,760 Speaker 13: about soccer. It is the epitome of a hope fulfilled. 2747 02:24:43,400 --> 02:24:46,560 Speaker 13: And it might be easy to dismiss Rexham as the 2748 02:24:46,760 --> 02:24:51,160 Speaker 13: product of Hollywood coming in and throwing money in, but 2749 02:24:51,360 --> 02:24:55,280 Speaker 13: really it's not. There's so much more to it than that, 2750 02:24:55,760 --> 02:24:59,280 Speaker 13: because across the story of English soccer there have been 2751 02:24:59,480 --> 02:25:02,800 Speaker 13: so many any multi millionaires who come in, be they 2752 02:25:02,840 --> 02:25:07,440 Speaker 13: an American businessman or an Indian tycoon, someone comes in 2753 02:25:07,920 --> 02:25:10,120 Speaker 13: tries to buy a club, and I can't tell you 2754 02:25:10,240 --> 02:25:14,519 Speaker 13: how many times, Ernie I've seen where those fortunes get mismanaged, 2755 02:25:14,879 --> 02:25:17,760 Speaker 13: crash the club and end up syncing it into larger dysfunction, 2756 02:25:18,040 --> 02:25:20,680 Speaker 13: because when a club's up for sale in English soccer, 2757 02:25:21,080 --> 02:25:24,360 Speaker 13: it's because of there's already a bit of dysfunction. So 2758 02:25:24,480 --> 02:25:26,680 Speaker 13: give it up to Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclhenny. 2759 02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:27,680 Speaker 1: Give it up to them. 2760 02:25:27,720 --> 02:25:30,200 Speaker 13: And even though yes they do bring Paul Rudd to 2761 02:25:30,280 --> 02:25:33,879 Speaker 13: the stadium to watch this happen, they manage this club 2762 02:25:34,080 --> 02:25:36,640 Speaker 13: very well. They have embraced not only the club but 2763 02:25:36,840 --> 02:25:40,600 Speaker 13: Wrexham itself, the city itself, and they truly understand what 2764 02:25:40,720 --> 02:25:44,680 Speaker 13: it means to run a club like this, to try 2765 02:25:44,800 --> 02:25:49,080 Speaker 13: to fight and claw out of bad situations and do 2766 02:25:49,280 --> 02:25:51,760 Speaker 13: the hard work to restructure a club to give it 2767 02:25:51,800 --> 02:25:54,640 Speaker 13: the pieces it needs to succeed. And their story isn't 2768 02:25:54,640 --> 02:25:58,080 Speaker 13: over yet. They are moving up to English Football League Two, 2769 02:25:58,720 --> 02:26:01,360 Speaker 13: the fourth tier, and by the way, and it's not 2770 02:26:01,480 --> 02:26:03,720 Speaker 13: just the Wrexham men who are sharing in the glory too, 2771 02:26:04,160 --> 02:26:07,000 Speaker 13: the Wrexham women's side who was also promoted here to 2772 02:26:07,120 --> 02:26:09,959 Speaker 13: the first tier of Welsh women's football to the odds 2773 02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:13,879 Speaker 13: Run Premiere. Promotion is not easy. Clubs are often relegated 2774 02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:16,560 Speaker 13: right back down in many cases, and they have to 2775 02:26:16,640 --> 02:26:18,640 Speaker 13: handle the hard work that comes with every club that 2776 02:26:18,680 --> 02:26:21,280 Speaker 13: gets promoted where you get big eyes and you start 2777 02:26:21,360 --> 02:26:23,280 Speaker 13: to wonder, is this roster here? 2778 02:26:23,440 --> 02:26:25,400 Speaker 2: Was it only just good for the league we were in. 2779 02:26:25,840 --> 02:26:28,320 Speaker 1: Are we going to survive with this same roster? 2780 02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:31,400 Speaker 13: Or should we start selling off parts and start spending 2781 02:26:31,480 --> 02:26:34,000 Speaker 13: and try to get players who can help us win 2782 02:26:34,040 --> 02:26:37,600 Speaker 13: at this next level but also makes us financially vulnerable 2783 02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:41,360 Speaker 13: and maybe overstretches us. It's a question the duo is 2784 02:26:41,440 --> 02:26:44,800 Speaker 13: going to have to ask themselves as Wrexham enters a 2785 02:26:44,959 --> 02:26:47,520 Speaker 13: new era, because the story isn't over. But for the 2786 02:26:47,560 --> 02:26:50,840 Speaker 13: supporters of Wrexham, who again I really have to impress 2787 02:26:50,879 --> 02:26:54,400 Speaker 13: this bought up the club themselves before Reynolds and McIlhenny 2788 02:26:54,440 --> 02:26:57,560 Speaker 13: came in here, who paid off a lot of its debt, 2789 02:26:57,959 --> 02:27:02,360 Speaker 13: who have been waiting forty five years for a title. 2790 02:27:02,800 --> 02:27:05,680 Speaker 13: They are entitled to this day. They are entitled to 2791 02:27:05,760 --> 02:27:09,360 Speaker 13: this hope, to this belief that their club has finally 2792 02:27:09,440 --> 02:27:13,120 Speaker 13: turned a corner, that the darkest is over. They're not 2793 02:27:13,240 --> 02:27:15,640 Speaker 13: always They're not going to be hoping for for Premier 2794 02:27:15,760 --> 02:27:18,600 Speaker 13: League or anything, but they're hoping for at least dignity 2795 02:27:18,840 --> 02:27:21,880 Speaker 13: somewhere on the English ladder to move up and to 2796 02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:24,640 Speaker 13: prove that they are a club worth reckoning with and 2797 02:27:24,720 --> 02:27:26,920 Speaker 13: give a thought to Notts County as well, who was 2798 02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:29,600 Speaker 13: going to come in second in the National League and 2799 02:27:29,840 --> 02:27:33,280 Speaker 13: enter a sixteen promotion playoff race because they played their 2800 02:27:33,360 --> 02:27:36,360 Speaker 13: tail off to this entire year. Hopefully we can maybe 2801 02:27:36,400 --> 02:27:39,400 Speaker 13: see them promoted to But for Wrexham for this year, 2802 02:27:39,760 --> 02:27:42,280 Speaker 13: it's Hollywood, baby, and that's the world of soccer. 2803 02:27:43,120 --> 02:27:47,039 Speaker 2: So when Chris reported in this very segment that Rexham 2804 02:27:47,080 --> 02:27:50,360 Speaker 2: had been purchased by Ryan Reynolds about a year ago, 2805 02:27:51,040 --> 02:27:55,000 Speaker 2: it was actually met with scoffing, especially the folks across 2806 02:27:55,080 --> 02:27:57,960 Speaker 2: the pond. But Ryan Reynolds Prouty was all in, just 2807 02:27:58,040 --> 02:28:00,120 Speaker 2: bought a two million dollar house over there memory. He's 2808 02:28:00,120 --> 02:28:02,400 Speaker 2: married to Brake Lively Blake Live, He's got four kids. 2809 02:28:02,640 --> 02:28:06,280 Speaker 2: The dude was all in between the TV show what 2810 02:28:06,400 --> 02:28:08,720 Speaker 2: happened on the pitch? This is real. These are the 2811 02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:11,680 Speaker 2: great feel good stories that I wish there were actually 2812 02:28:11,959 --> 02:28:16,720 Speaker 2: more of Chris Pphfett's World of Soccer coming up the 2813 02:28:16,840 --> 02:28:24,480 Speaker 2: theme Let's not overreact oak Lands to Vegas.

Now, as I said heading into 2837 02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:46,960 Speaker 2: this segment, I'm gonna call this let's not overreact, right. 2838 02:29:47,760 --> 02:29:49,360 Speaker 3: The big news the other day, the. 2839 02:29:49,400 --> 02:29:53,240 Speaker 2: Oakland A's had purchased, according to their president, signing a 2840 02:29:53,320 --> 02:29:57,600 Speaker 2: binding agreement to buy forty nine acres of land. I 2841 02:29:57,640 --> 02:29:59,560 Speaker 2: know right where the area is. It's right over off 2842 02:29:59,640 --> 02:30:03,080 Speaker 2: of Tropicana and Dean Martin. It's on the west side 2843 02:30:03,080 --> 02:30:06,120 Speaker 2: of the freeway north of Tropicana. It used to be 2844 02:30:06,160 --> 02:30:09,240 Speaker 2: a Wild West casino there. Forty nine acres. You plunk 2845 02:30:09,280 --> 02:30:12,360 Speaker 2: it down, You're literally across the freeway from T Mobile 2846 02:30:12,840 --> 02:30:15,680 Speaker 2: where the Golden Knights play. You're literally two three blocks 2847 02:30:15,760 --> 02:30:21,640 Speaker 2: north of the Allegiant Stadium where the Raiders play. Okay, 2848 02:30:21,720 --> 02:30:24,080 Speaker 2: they've ended up buying an agreement. 2849 02:30:23,720 --> 02:30:25,280 Speaker 3: To buy the land. 2850 02:30:25,879 --> 02:30:28,959 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean I'm giving it a fifty to fifty deal 2851 02:30:29,040 --> 02:30:31,280 Speaker 2: that the A's end up in Vegas. Could I be wrong? 2852 02:30:31,360 --> 02:30:35,040 Speaker 2: It's slammed up. Well, we'll see prove it to me. 2853 02:30:35,680 --> 02:30:37,720 Speaker 2: But I'm not saying zero. But I'm not saying one hundred. 2854 02:30:37,760 --> 02:30:40,160 Speaker 2: I'm saying fifty to fifty. One of the reasons is 2855 02:30:40,240 --> 02:30:44,879 Speaker 2: because as part of the Oakland A's game plan, they 2856 02:30:45,400 --> 02:30:48,680 Speaker 2: want to submit a move request to the Major League 2857 02:30:48,720 --> 02:30:51,120 Speaker 2: Baseball owners in the fall, which I believe would certainly 2858 02:30:51,120 --> 02:30:51,720 Speaker 2: be approved. 2859 02:30:52,560 --> 02:30:55,680 Speaker 3: But it's May first, a week from now. The fall 2860 02:30:55,800 --> 02:30:56,600 Speaker 3: is right around the corner. 2861 02:30:56,640 --> 02:30:57,280 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 2862 02:30:57,320 --> 02:30:58,240 Speaker 3: Four or five months away? 2863 02:30:58,720 --> 02:31:01,160 Speaker 2: Are you telling me they can have a stadium funding 2864 02:31:01,280 --> 02:31:05,520 Speaker 2: plan that will include not only private bought public funds 2865 02:31:05,560 --> 02:31:10,680 Speaker 2: and agreement by that place. And also, you do realize 2866 02:31:10,680 --> 02:31:13,879 Speaker 2: they don't even have a stadium rendering yet. They haven't 2867 02:31:13,879 --> 02:31:16,840 Speaker 2: even hired or named a stadium design architect. This is 2868 02:31:16,959 --> 02:31:20,240 Speaker 2: far from being a done deal. They bought land, that's 2869 02:31:20,320 --> 02:31:25,760 Speaker 2: it so far. Don't overreact. And oh, by the way, 2870 02:31:25,879 --> 02:31:28,920 Speaker 2: the soonest, if ever they went perfectly, the one point 2871 02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:30,920 Speaker 2: five billion dollars stadium is going to have to be 2872 02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:32,199 Speaker 2: a dome or retractable. 2873 02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:34,320 Speaker 3: The soonest they could play. 2874 02:31:34,160 --> 02:31:38,840 Speaker 2: Would be twenty twenty seven in Las Vegas, the least 2875 02:31:38,879 --> 02:31:41,879 Speaker 2: in Oaklhalameda County Coliseum ens at the end of. 2876 02:31:41,920 --> 02:31:43,160 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four. 2877 02:31:44,240 --> 02:31:46,680 Speaker 2: You can do the math. I'm going to be covering 2878 02:31:46,760 --> 02:31:50,360 Speaker 2: this pretty vociferously as I have for the last year. 2879 02:31:51,320 --> 02:31:54,320 Speaker 2: So let's just wait and see what happens. Let's not overreact, 2880 02:31:54,760 --> 02:31:59,080 Speaker 2: all right, In about ten hours, Draymond Green will take 2881 02:31:59,160 --> 02:32:02,520 Speaker 2: the floor again for the Golden State Warriors. I cannot 2882 02:32:02,520 --> 02:32:08,000 Speaker 2: believe how much airtime Draymond's suspension got and how polarizing 2883 02:32:08,080 --> 02:32:10,160 Speaker 2: it was. But first of all, let's start with the 2884 02:32:10,200 --> 02:32:13,920 Speaker 2: relevant things. If Golden State wins Sunday, which I believe 2885 02:32:13,959 --> 02:32:15,360 Speaker 2: they will, now you got a two to two series, 2886 02:32:15,400 --> 02:32:17,520 Speaker 2: you got a best of three. Two would be played 2887 02:32:17,560 --> 02:32:20,240 Speaker 2: in Sacramento. What's the significance. Well, Golden State during the 2888 02:32:20,320 --> 02:32:23,640 Speaker 2: season was eleven and thirty on the road and they 2889 02:32:23,640 --> 02:32:26,240 Speaker 2: were already owing two in the playoffs. The eleven and 2890 02:32:26,320 --> 02:32:29,200 Speaker 2: thirty ranks for twenty seventh in the NBA. They were 2891 02:32:29,240 --> 02:32:31,680 Speaker 2: allowing opponents one hundred and twenty two and a half 2892 02:32:31,720 --> 02:32:33,880 Speaker 2: points a game that ranks twenty ninth. And go by 2893 02:32:33,920 --> 02:32:39,200 Speaker 2: the way, the Golden State Warriors opponents this year shot 2894 02:32:39,360 --> 02:32:42,320 Speaker 2: over forty percent from behind the arc three point percentage 2895 02:32:42,640 --> 02:32:45,480 Speaker 2: that ranks twenty ninth. And if you're scoring at home, 2896 02:32:45,520 --> 02:32:48,360 Speaker 2: and I hope you are, teams will typically start zero 2897 02:32:48,400 --> 02:32:52,320 Speaker 2: and two in the NBA playoffs, they only win the 2898 02:32:52,440 --> 02:32:55,520 Speaker 2: series eight percent of the time. And give it up 2899 02:32:55,560 --> 02:32:57,560 Speaker 2: to Sacramento. They were twenty five and sixteen on the 2900 02:32:57,640 --> 02:32:59,400 Speaker 2: road this year and the NBA good enough for third. 2901 02:33:00,160 --> 02:33:03,440 Speaker 2: And if that's the case, in Sacramento can steal one 2902 02:33:04,240 --> 02:33:08,240 Speaker 2: at the Chase Arena, well then you might have a 2903 02:33:08,280 --> 02:33:10,800 Speaker 2: different conversation, but I think it ends up two to 2904 02:33:10,879 --> 02:33:14,440 Speaker 2: two and they head back to Sacramento Tuesday night. Now, 2905 02:33:15,160 --> 02:33:17,560 Speaker 2: the Warriors have never been behind h and two, and 2906 02:33:18,160 --> 02:33:20,280 Speaker 2: there have been five times in history with the defending 2907 02:33:20,360 --> 02:33:24,280 Speaker 2: champ has fallen behind two to oh, which the Warriors did, 2908 02:33:24,879 --> 02:33:27,600 Speaker 2: and the previous four all lost their series. Three got swept, 2909 02:33:27,640 --> 02:33:29,720 Speaker 2: while the Golden State Warriors are not going to get 2910 02:33:29,720 --> 02:33:31,840 Speaker 2: swept because they already won a game. But let's get 2911 02:33:31,879 --> 02:33:34,480 Speaker 2: to the Let's not I've already buried the lead. The 2912 02:33:34,560 --> 02:33:39,000 Speaker 2: lead is Draymond Green is back. Now the gentlemen who 2913 02:33:39,040 --> 02:33:43,360 Speaker 2: made the decision, Joe Dumars, I like and respect a lot. 2914 02:33:43,400 --> 02:33:45,440 Speaker 2: I might have a little bit different perspective on this 2915 02:33:45,640 --> 02:33:48,760 Speaker 2: if you follow me, because the years I covered the Pistons, 2916 02:33:48,760 --> 02:33:50,840 Speaker 2: and yes I covered that team up close in personal 2917 02:33:50,920 --> 02:33:53,960 Speaker 2: and four they beat the Lakers in five. If it 2918 02:33:53,959 --> 02:33:57,119 Speaker 2: ain't rough, it ain't right, Askria Hamilton and then check 2919 02:33:57,200 --> 02:33:59,880 Speaker 2: that four. Then five they lost in seven games to 2920 02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:02,320 Speaker 2: San Antonio. That was a terrific team that Joe Dumars 2921 02:34:02,360 --> 02:34:06,240 Speaker 2: put together five straight Eastern Conference finals. Now we had 2922 02:34:06,280 --> 02:34:08,680 Speaker 2: a saying in Detroit and Joe, we trust in addition 2923 02:34:08,760 --> 02:34:11,080 Speaker 2: to be a great player on the Bad Boys Piston 2924 02:34:11,120 --> 02:34:15,920 Speaker 2: teams and also almost threepeted. He's a brilliant guard alongside 2925 02:34:15,959 --> 02:34:19,320 Speaker 2: Isaiah Thomas. He was an even better executive, well very 2926 02:34:19,320 --> 02:34:22,080 Speaker 2: good executive, and now he's in the NBA front office. 2927 02:34:22,120 --> 02:34:26,240 Speaker 2: He made the decision to suspend Draymond Green, and I'm 2928 02:34:26,240 --> 02:34:27,600 Speaker 2: going to give you a theory in a minute as 2929 02:34:27,640 --> 02:34:30,119 Speaker 2: to why I think he did. But first of all, 2930 02:34:30,560 --> 02:34:33,360 Speaker 2: if you're defending Draymond Green and do not believe that 2931 02:34:33,480 --> 02:34:38,520 Speaker 2: suspension was warranted, you're a defendant. Guy who's committed one 2932 02:34:38,600 --> 02:34:42,039 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four technical files in his career, twenty 2933 02:34:42,120 --> 02:34:47,039 Speaker 2: seven technical files in the playoffs alone, including six flagrant 2934 02:34:47,080 --> 02:34:51,080 Speaker 2: files and seventeen ejections. This is a guy with the 2935 02:34:51,160 --> 02:34:54,160 Speaker 2: body of work. He's had incidents in November back in 2936 02:34:54,240 --> 02:34:57,720 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and certainly who could forget twenty sixteen NBA 2937 02:34:57,879 --> 02:35:01,360 Speaker 2: Finals when Draymond was suspended for the same type of thing, 2938 02:35:01,760 --> 02:35:04,600 Speaker 2: Game five, the Calves were down three to one, let 2939 02:35:04,680 --> 02:35:07,200 Speaker 2: him up off the map, and he remember what happened then. 2940 02:35:08,040 --> 02:35:11,760 Speaker 2: So when Joe Dumars, he was quite articulate about why 2941 02:35:11,879 --> 02:35:14,840 Speaker 2: he suspended Draymond Greene. He set it three years. First 2942 02:35:14,920 --> 02:35:19,640 Speaker 2: his actions stomping on de Monte Sebonis, and then he 2943 02:35:19,720 --> 02:35:23,720 Speaker 2: gives that whack ass tone dev conference press conference and 2944 02:35:23,800 --> 02:35:26,200 Speaker 2: he says, well, I can only step so far. No, buddy, 2945 02:35:26,560 --> 02:35:28,920 Speaker 2: you wound up, you stepped up, you came right down. 2946 02:35:29,080 --> 02:35:32,000 Speaker 2: It was all premeditated. He had the personal history, which 2947 02:35:32,040 --> 02:35:33,959 Speaker 2: I just said. And then the third one is antics 2948 02:35:34,320 --> 02:35:37,280 Speaker 2: going over to the crowd after he'd been ejected and 2949 02:35:37,440 --> 02:35:40,120 Speaker 2: aggigan the crowd. By the way, Draymond Greeney for scoring 2950 02:35:40,160 --> 02:35:43,600 Speaker 2: at home one point three million in career fins, Joe 2951 02:35:43,680 --> 02:35:46,280 Speaker 2: Dumars basically said it very nice terms. We're fed up 2952 02:35:46,280 --> 02:35:48,600 Speaker 2: with your game. We're fed up with this crap. We're 2953 02:35:48,600 --> 02:35:50,840 Speaker 2: not going to enable it anymore. You try to get 2954 02:35:50,920 --> 02:35:53,039 Speaker 2: under people's skin, turns out they get under your skin. 2955 02:35:53,320 --> 02:35:53,800 Speaker 3: Draymond. 2956 02:35:54,080 --> 02:35:57,000 Speaker 2: Now here's where the unique perspective comes. On November nineteen, 2957 02:35:57,040 --> 02:35:59,560 Speaker 2: two thousand and four, there was a little thing in 2958 02:35:59,640 --> 02:36:01,279 Speaker 2: Detroit I called a mouse at the Palace. 2959 02:36:01,600 --> 02:36:02,080 Speaker 3: I was there. 2960 02:36:02,280 --> 02:36:04,840 Speaker 2: We're doing a radio remote salt my own eyes. Joe 2961 02:36:04,879 --> 02:36:08,200 Speaker 2: Dumars was there. What do you think Joe might be 2962 02:36:08,320 --> 02:36:12,520 Speaker 2: going through Joe Dumar's mind? When Draymond Green walks over 2963 02:36:12,560 --> 02:36:15,640 Speaker 2: to the crowd starts jumping up and down, waving him on, 2964 02:36:15,920 --> 02:36:18,560 Speaker 2: egging him on, and he says in his podcast, which 2965 02:36:18,560 --> 02:36:20,080 Speaker 2: I had never listened to a second of, I just 2966 02:36:20,120 --> 02:36:23,160 Speaker 2: heard a sound like something about, oh, they're flipping me 2967 02:36:23,280 --> 02:36:25,800 Speaker 2: the bird. Okay, Well, you got a choice to ignore it, 2968 02:36:26,240 --> 02:36:29,000 Speaker 2: like Lebron probably would have, or you got a choice 2969 02:36:29,040 --> 02:36:30,800 Speaker 2: to do what you did. And we know what you did. 2970 02:36:31,520 --> 02:36:34,400 Speaker 2: But what do you folks think might have happened if 2971 02:36:34,480 --> 02:36:36,960 Speaker 2: a beer cup had been flying out of the stands 2972 02:36:37,520 --> 02:36:41,120 Speaker 2: and plunked Raymond Green on the head? Might there have 2973 02:36:41,200 --> 02:36:44,800 Speaker 2: been spontaneous combustion, Might would have had another mouse at 2974 02:36:44,840 --> 02:36:47,960 Speaker 2: the palace. We're never gonna know, but I do know this, 2975 02:36:48,120 --> 02:36:50,760 Speaker 2: It didn't happen, and Joe Dumars knows. 2976 02:36:50,760 --> 02:36:51,480 Speaker 3: What can happen. 2977 02:36:52,040 --> 02:36:56,720 Speaker 2: And that incident set back the Indiana Pacers franchise seventeen years. 2978 02:36:56,720 --> 02:36:58,520 Speaker 3: Frankly, they've never recovered. 2979 02:36:58,920 --> 02:37:02,400 Speaker 2: So the the ejection was warranted. And oh, by the way, 2980 02:37:02,560 --> 02:37:05,120 Speaker 2: the suspension was warranted because instead of walking back to 2981 02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:10,680 Speaker 2: the locker room like Dylan Brooks did tonight, Draymond escalated 2982 02:37:10,760 --> 02:37:13,720 Speaker 2: the situation even further. Joe d did the right thing 2983 02:37:13,760 --> 02:37:15,360 Speaker 2: in Joeye. Trust it's gonna do it for the Bernie 2984 02:37:15,360 --> 02:37:18,280 Speaker 2: Friday Show back on these airwaves next Friday, eleven pm. 2985 02:37:18,400 --> 02:37:20,760 Speaker 2: Up next. They're great and defemin
