I think we're live on YouTube. 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.119 I'm seeing all the screens. Looks like we're good to go. 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.760 I'm told people were waiting for the show, eager with 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:33.000 the anticipation and in the chat talking amongst themselves. Uh, 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.720 what would Demonse's leg ware be today? Demanse went with 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.720 the more traditional look of pants with a sweatshirt. Well done. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.720 That is that you learning or is that just weather related? 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.640 It's thirty degrees okay, so that's why that's fair enough. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:49.000 You know. 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.480 I have my little spies around Harlem though that say, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.080 you were walking around the streets Arlem yesterday when it 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.480 was quite chilly in some shorts. So well, listen, you 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:03.520 look great day. I speaking of legs, I cannot really 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.760 walk right now. I have a funny story related to 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.440 that tangentially, remind me to tell it. Maybe at the 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.560 start of the second segment. We'll do that there. We 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.960 have a ton to get to Week eleven in the NFL. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.680 A great night in the NBA. I don't think it's 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.560 in the show, but SGA just keeps crushing fools and 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.000 has to be looked at as not only a top 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.000 fifteen player, but thus far this season a clear top 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.680 ten player. I don't think that's much in the show. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.760 Here's what is definitely not in the show. Not in 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:41.880 the show today LaMelo Ball injured again, Deshaun Watson returning 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.680 to practice, and Taylor Heineke still in as a starter. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.160 One other thing that's not going to be in today's show, 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:55.399 and I say this with great shame and embarrassment, We're 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:55.800 not going to. 0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:00.720 Have a book club in today's show. Guys too busy 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.880 spending his gambling winnings because I didn't do the reading 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.680 this week. I'm the head of book club and I didn't. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.200 Do the reading. Next week we finished the book, and 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.440 next week we do an extended book club at the 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.480 end of the Thursday episode recapping the final one hundred 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.160 fifty pages of the book. My apologies, I forgot to 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:18.960 do the reading, and then last night I was supposed 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.239 to do the reading instead I took my daughter to Broadway. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.520 Also quick note before we get to the show. This 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.440 I very uncomfortable moments last night because Door and I 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.840 both dressed up because we went to Broadway and I 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.680 bought some good seats because she wanted to see Funny Girl. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.800 With this lady named Leah Michelle who was on one 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.920 of her favorite shows. So it was a really nice 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:44.280 moment between door and I. The number of people giving 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.040 me the stink guy because they thought Doora and I 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.360 were on a date made me so uncomfortable, to the 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.560 point to where right before the show started, I was like, Deora, 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.880 let's post something to my IG story. 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.120 She's like, no, why. 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.040 I just did it so I could loudly say for 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.600 the people we were sitting around me and my daughter 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.680 out on Broadway, just so it would attack that I 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.200 just didn't want to do. I didn't care, like the 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.160 people five rows over, who cares, but the people were 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.280 literally sitting next to I didn't. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.159 It was like and it was later. It was like 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:18.520 a later. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.360 It was an eight pm show, and your sister dressed 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.360 super fancy. I wore my suit from work. It was 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.640 it was un so I had to I had to 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.760 fall on that grenade im media. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.039 To mind their own business. I mean, but if it 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.520 were that situation, it's bad. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.360 Yeah, well it was uncomfortable looking, I understand it. Okay, Demons, 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.600 where are we starting today's show? 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.760 All right, We're starting with the Warriors. Yeah, the Warriors 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.680 start to Their season has been disastrous. Yeah. While their 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.400 title defense isn't as bad as the Rams, They've still 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:47.880 yet to win a game on the road. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.120 That's unbelievable. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.200 It's crazy. Step drop fifty last night and fifty. Yeah, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.159 he's had a couple of those games this year. I 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.720 think it was like forty seven. Yeah. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:57.760 No, he's been awesome. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.000 Yeah, and they still managed to lose by eleven Verse 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.720 the Suns. You said last week that the Warriors may 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.000 be in serious trouble. Has his franchise earned the trust 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.760 for us to be patient or are you ready to 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:08.480 sound the alarm? 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:08.600 Oh? 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.920 I'm sounding the alarm. The franchise has earned a lot 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.640 of things, but not trust for this season. Okay, And 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.799 I want to talk Macro about the NBA for a moment, 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.000 and then Micro about the Warriors. It is a damn 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:29.000 shame that you have Steph Curry, one of the greatest 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.880 players ever still clearly in his prime, and the team stinks. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.800 Kevin Durant one of the greatest players ever at the 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.600 tail end of his prime and the team stinks. And 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.560 Lebron James clearly not in his prime but far and 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.280 away greater than any player has ever been this deep 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.720 into his career and still clearly at a minimum is 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.960 Lebron one of the fifteen. 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.320 Best players in the league, which has. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.320 Never happened in your eighteen, nineteen, or twenty except for 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:07.880 with Lebron, and those three teams are all awful. The 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.440 Lakers are the worst of them, obviously they're three and ten, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.680 but the Warriors are only six and nine. The Nets, 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.640 on the other hand, are six and nine also with 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:24.880 all types of issues. You have, in my opinion, the 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.320 greatest player of all time Steph Curry, who is one 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.920 of the fifteen greatest players of all time, and Kevin Durand, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.160 who is one of the twenty greatest players of all time, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:40.760 all fighting off Father Time at various stages of Father 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:47.360 Time as well as almost anyone ever has. And their 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:52.320 teams are awful. Now with the Lakers and the Warriors, 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.640 at least they can fall back on. Yes, maybe we 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.359 have screwed some things up roster wise for this team 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.760 this year, but in the last few years we've won 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.960 a title. The Lakers won a title in year seventeen 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.960 for Lebron, the Warriors won the title last year. For 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.960 the Nets, it's just a total disaster. We'll get more 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.360 to the nets later, but they for Kevin Durant. This 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.080 is his fourth year with the franchise. Year one obviously 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.040 he didn't play because of the achilles and it has 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.440 just gotten worse and worse and worse each year. It's 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.520 a total travesty and as a basketball fan, it's sad 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.800 now to the Warriors. So they sent James Wiseman to 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.360 the G League. He was that is as well as 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:46.400 the Warriors have run their franchise. What does need to 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:52.160 be acknowledged is they had a dynasty extender cheat code, 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:58.200 which was they they were so bad the year after 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.720 Katie left, when Steph got hurt and On got hurt. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.840 They had the number two pick of the draft and 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.920 they took a guy who right now looks like a 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.640 total bust. There's no way around it. I understand, you know, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.040 with injury issues, some of it's not his fault. They 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.240 could have taken LaMelo. Now, LaMelo's dealing with injury issues 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.720 as well. But LaMelo, at least we know, is a 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.680 good player. And that was not, you know, an unbelievable draft. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:31.200 I get that, but Wiseman is right now not an 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.640 NBA player literally or figuratively other problem for the Warriors. Again, 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.720 these are smaller problems. They were expecting leaps from three 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.120 young guys that didn't help them at all the title 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:46.400 last year. Wiseman he's in the G League. Moody seemingly 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.680 hasn't improved, and Kaminga the one guy who did play 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.440 a bit for them last year in the playoffs. He 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.240 is not improved, so that's a problem. They paid Jordan 0:08:55.320 --> 0:09:00.280 poole Pool is not improved. That's a big problem. Steve 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.199 Kerr said it after they gave him his money, that 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.320 he's earned it. They're proud of him, but he needs 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.439 to get better. He's gone in the other direction. In fact, 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.120 has only played well when he has started. He had 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.880 a great game the other day when he was starting 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.840 for Clay. And then we get to their second biggest problem, 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.520 which is Clay. And I listen, everybody likes Clay, and 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.720 Clay is you know, has been very honest and very 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.439 vulnerable about how he doesn't think some of this commentary 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.040 is fair and he thinks it's mean, and you know, 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.559 give him time. I have massive respect for Clay Thompson, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.640 first of all the player. I have massive respect for 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:47.160 Clay Thompson the person. I also think it is somewhat 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:52.199 sports heroic that, coming off a blown acl and then 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.319 a blown achilles, he was ever able to take the 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.959 court again in any capacity, much less have some moments 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.640 last year route to winning a fourth championship. He deserves 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.040 credit for all of those things, but it also is 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.960 our job as commentators to be honest about where he 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.240 is now as a player. And right now, as a player, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.719 he's hurting me. Their defense is a disaster. He used 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.920 to be great on that end, and he's not a 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.760 sniper at the moment. Maybe he will be. And then 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.400 you get to Drama, who has not had the injuries 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.800 but is clearly a deteriorating player. The defense has been awful, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.800 that's his calling card. He hasn't gotten better offensively, and 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:42.360 oh yeah, he punched a teammate in the face right 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.560 before the season started, and now they're having a season 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:52.280 from hell. And I, you know, Brusard on the TV 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.160 show has floated out there a few times the possibility 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:02.760 of Ben Simmons for Drama. I that's kind of that. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.120 You know, that's my problem for your problem. Why would 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:07.960 the Nets do it? The Nets would do it to 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.200 get off Ben's contract and to maybe add a real 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.440 leader to that team. Why would the Warriors do it? 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.440 Younger and gotta shake the snow globe that Ben Simmons 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.320 is separate issue entirely. I feel badly for Ben, but 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.079 I think he's too deep in his own head. I 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:31.200 don't know if he's ever coming back. But everybody kills me. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.200 I gotta be I gotta tread lightly when I talk 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.480 about Andrew Wiggins. This is a compliment, but it is 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.000 also a fact here. So Wiggins has been good. Wiggins 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.520 been good, but we have a decade of evidence here. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.720 If Andrew Wiggins is your second best player, no matter 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.800 how good your best player is, your screwed. That is 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.719 not a knock on Wiggins Wiggins, but he the Warriors 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.720 model is not have Wiggans be your second best guy. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.760 And I think people are maybe numb to what Steph 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:12.679 is doing. Steph is Demon's eight thirty three, seven and 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:19.439 six on the year, averaging thirty three, seven and six 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.120 on fifty three percent from the field and forty five 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.960 percent from three But the concern for them is he 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.760 had fifty last night and they lost. He had thirty 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:35.120 nine and nine a week ago. Two weeks ago and 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:40.839 they lost to the Magic. They lost the other night, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.800 uh to Sacramento when Steph just had a you know 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.920 a who home twenty seven, six and four. It feels 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.680 like they have no chance to win a game like 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:52.160 that if. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.079 He's not unbelievable. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:58.319 So right now, the West think about it. Warriors are bad. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.880 Kawhi doesn't really play anymore. He's a total unknown. The 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.840 Lakers stink. The Suns are really good, but I have 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.280 real concerns about them at the end of the season. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.240 So then who do you have? The Blazers you believe 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.400 in them, I don't. The Timberwolves. Shockingly, Gobert hasn't contributed 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.800 big to winning. So you have the Nuggets and you 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.240 have the maps, like two teams that are based around one, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.679 in Luca's case, historically great player and in Jokic's case, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:32.840 really great player. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.280 Like it's it is. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:40.040 A weird conference right now, and the Warriors' issues are 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.360 multifaceted and super concerning. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.120 Next all right, the seventy two Dolphins can now get 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.880 some rest after the Commanders ruined Philly's perfect season. The 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.960 Eagles had a rough start, and even everyone is quick 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.079 to judgment after the loss of the division rival. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:55.760 Yeah, but what a loss. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.160 To Jeff's Saturday and the Colts prove the Eagles to 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.080 be total frauds. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:04.120 Listen, it'd be a really really bad loss. And you know, 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.840 we always got to be careful, and I did this 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.040 getting ahead of ourselves, just anointing someone the one seed. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.120 You know, three weeks ago we talked on this show 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.480 about how overwhelmingly likely it was that the Bills were 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.880 going to be the one seed. They're currently the sixth seed, 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.200 and the Eagles it seemed like they had it locked up. 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.080 But all of a sudden, you lose one game you're 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.800 not supposed to at home against Washington, and now you're like, 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.120 oh boy, a lot of pressure on you. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:37.480 Now. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.640 I do think Philly should be able to dominate INDI's 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.040 offensive line, force Matt Ryan in some turnovers and win 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:49.440 that game. But if the question is the question is 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.080 not correct me. If I'm wrong, do I expect Philly 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.480 to lose? The question is if they lose, will it 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.520 show their frauds? 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:57.920 Correct? 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:03.320 Yep, frauds is wrong. But a loss losing back to 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.560 back weeks in twenty twenty two to Taylor Heineke and 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.000 Matt Ryan slash Jeff Saturday, I think would expose you 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:15.440 as a non serious contender. I do think that, ah Nick. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.200 The Chiefs lost to Matt Ryan and the Colts. I 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.920 understand that. Listen when Matt Ryan plays, the Colts are frisky. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:27.000 But there should be no complacency for Philly whatsoever. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:27.560 This week. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.200 They're a debt, they're obviously a desperate team. But the 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.320 Vikings only have one loss, the Giants only have two losses, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.640 the Cowboys only have three losses. Philly can't, you know, 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.520 can't give away games after giving away that Washington game. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:47.280 And by the way, for Philly, after Indy, they're home 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.320 for green Bay. Now I don't think green Bay is good, 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.240 but then a home for Tennessee at the Giants, at 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.400 the Bears, who all of a sudden are frisky at Dallas, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:58.960 then a home for New Orleans, and then a home 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.840 for the Giants at the end of the way. Point 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:06.400 is this at Indy is their second easiest game remaining. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.960 Their only game easier is home for New Orleans. It's 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.840 a game they should win. It's a game I expect 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.240 them to win next. And by the way, did Washington 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.840 expose the Eagles? The poll question, Oh, I should have 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.160 said this off the top. If you're watching us live 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.080 on YouTube right now, we'll get to your chat questions. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.240 In the third block of the show, fifty six percent 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.480 said they did expose the Eagles. Listen, frauds is too 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.600 strong to me. But I'm yet all year to consider 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.280 the Eagles a super Bowl team and I still do not. 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.160 Next, oh, Ed, Dallas goes to Minnesota the Sunday. After 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.920 winning the game of the year, You'd think that the 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.360 Vikings would be favored, and after a loss to Green Bay, 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.200 you think the Dallas would be a big road dog. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.720 But believe it or not, the Cowboys are favored by 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.360 one and a half in Minnesota. What does Vegas know 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.640 that we don't. This is a confusing line. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.320 I gotta admit when we on Monday show, I had 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.200 you guess it, and I think you guess Minnesota by 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.000 three or two and a half something like that, And 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.080 at the time it was Dallas by two. So it's 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.360 moved a half point. So I think there's and we'll 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.239 talk about this more on tomorrow's Gambling Show. Also, by 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.480 the way, I meant to tell you another thing we're 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.120 gonna do in the Sea Block. So we'rena talk about 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.359 Demonsey's twitch stream. We need some of you subscribers to 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.600 this show, if you're a gamer, to check out Demond's 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.160 twitch stream. He's gonna get that going. So we're gonna 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.320 talk about that. Remind me to talk about that Demondsey 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.600 in the Sea Block. Uh. But on Monday show, we 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.359 talked about how we were surprised by the line. Here's 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.800 what I think is going on there. There is the 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:43.080 Cowboys blowing a game, Minnesota having their pinnacle of the season, 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:48.520 great amazing win. Sometimes you feel like the Cowboys are 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.960 gonna come in more desperate, the Vikings might have a 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.240 bit of a hangover. So that element of it exists 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:59.240 right then. What you also have is the odd thing 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.800 with the Vikings this year is they are doing this 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:08.360 despite Kirk Cousins having his worst year with the Vikings 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.040 by far is passer rating. Every year with the Vikings 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.320 have been north of one hundred. This year it's eighty seven. 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:19.080 It's like twentieth in the league, and they are justin. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:24.720 Jefferson is having an unbelievable season. I do wonder and 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.760 this was Buffalo tried this, but I wonder if it's 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.239 going to be even more, even more dramatic against the 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.440 Cowboys if teams are gonna start treating Justin Jefferson, giving 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.119 him the Randy Moss treatment of we're just doubling you. 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.280 We are doubling you every play and seeing if someone 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.760 else can beat us. Now I know the Vikings. They 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.240 have feeling. They just traded for Hockinson, they have Dalvin Cook, 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.560 but Justin Jefferson has been the engine that has been 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.720 driving that offense. So it's what I would do. I 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.760 would try to make feel and have a monster game. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.480 I would try to see who else can beat me. 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.080 I also think that the Vikings are one of the 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:10.040 teams that they and Philly lead the NFL in forced turnovers, 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.840 and that's listen, credit to them for that. That is 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.240 a great thing. But you also worry that if the 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.320 turnover starts, luck starts to regress a bit like it 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.800 did with Philly, that they're gonna give a game up. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:23.680 I like the Vikings in this game. I expect the 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.440 Vikings to win, but that line is fishy. 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.440 All right, last, all right, things are really cool. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.560 I'm sorry. There was a poll seventy six percent like 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:34.000 Dallas minus the point and a half. 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.920 Wow, that's more than I would have thought. All right, 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.919 next trouble in Paradise in Brooklyn. Yeah, the team is 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.800 reportedly frustrated with Ben simmons lack of production, and Katie 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.080 finally opened up about his frustrations, saying the team wasn't 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.080 putting pushing him enough. Yeah. He also threw his starting 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.359 lineup under the bus, saying, look at our starting lineup, 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:56.919 Edmund Sumner, Royce, O'Neil, Joe Harris, Nick Claxton and me. 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.000 It's no disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group? 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.960 You're expecting that we play well? Because number seven is 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.719 out there? Does he have a point or not? All right? 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.399 What did you think of that quote? I one hundred 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.440 percent side with Katie. What do you mean so talk 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.560 to me? So I think that once you look past 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.119 the fact that Katie is just a good basketball player, 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.920 and I don't really think takes the stance of wanting 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:24.720 to be the be a leader. He just wants to 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.800 play good basketball. It's like I think that you guys 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.080 are putt like, look at his starting lineup. Okay, I 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.440 do think that in the fashion that he did it 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.240 was not great. So all right. 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:41.959 So I think from a basketball analysis standpoint, he's totally correct. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:48.520 From a team standpoint, that's a crummy thing to say 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:53.000 out loud to a reporter like that is. And Dragonfly 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.359 Jones had this, and it's really funny, And credit to 0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:02.080 Dragonfly Jones for remembering this or finding this KD. The 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.560 tweet that he sent that exposed the fact that he 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:12.120 used burner accounts was when he accidentally sent this tweet 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:17.280 from his own account. This tweet read, imagine taking Russ 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:22.440 off that team, see how bad they were. KD can't win. 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.200 A championship with those caps. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.480 Point being it's a lot like what he's saying here 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:35.199 that look at the guys around him. And I'm not 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:39.600 saying he's wrong. I don't love him saying this to 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.439 Chris Haynes. The other thing that I thought was to 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:48.680 be totally honest ridiculous was him arguing, not arguing, stating 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:54.399 that he asked for a trade because they didn't practice enough. 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.560 He wanted more shell drills and close out drills. First 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.360 of all, that is a ludicrous reason asked for a trade. 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.720 Second of all, you're Kevin Durant. If you want to 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:12.159 practice more, you can call practice if you want to 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:13.960 do different things in brain and it's not like, wow, 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:16.679 there are other stars on the team. No, there weren't. 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:21.320 James Harden got traded and Kyrie wasn't there. So they're 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:24.440 not doing what you want to practice because they're deferring 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:30.800 to Patty Mills. No, like it's it's a crazy thing 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:35.879 to say. And that is where the leadership problem bites it, 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:41.240 because yes, I understand he just wants to play ball. 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:42.160 I get that. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.280 But if you're if you want to get if it's 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.880 so bad you want to get out of there, then 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.840 you you have a responsibility to try to change things. 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:57.000 It to me is like asking for a divorce without 0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:00.960 first telling your spouse. Here's what you're doing that is 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.879 irritating me. Try to fix it. So and it's such 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.639 a the idea that the reason he wanted out and 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.040 none to do with Kyrie, had nothing to do with 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:16.440 the organizational upheaval, had to do with they weren't practicing enough. 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.600 I just don't buy it. I flatly just don't buy it. 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:21.959 And now, by the way, the other news from Woades 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.600 late last night is that Kyrie's coming back, that Kyrie's 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.320
