1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: Oh it's not just us. It's not just us. We

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: got a full crew here because it's time carry Rhodes.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: It's time to have that honest conversation.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 3: Now.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: I know a week ago you were sitting back in Alabama,

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: that's right, getting ready for Super Bowl sixty, while I

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: was in Levice Stadium wondering if the Seahawks could right

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: the wrongs from Super Bowl forty nine and take out

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots. And they did, And we'll get

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: to all that later. But we are now past the

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: football season. We are in the football off season, and

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: we will get to all of the happenings. We've got

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: golf on, We've got the Olympics, We've got the All

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: Star Game starting, We've got the Daytona five hundred right

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: now heading down to the wire on Fox. We are

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: under forty laps to go. So it is a busy,

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: busy Sunday, but it is a Sunday without football. And

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: I feel like throughout the week, when people weren't talking

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: about what the Seahawks did to the Patriots or what

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: the Patriots didn't do to the Seahawks, we were talking

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: about the National Basketball Association, and I feel like we

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: jumped into the cold waters of that lake and everybody

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: immediately gravitated to one side or the other and having

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: a conversation about what is going on with the NBA

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: right now. And the biggest topic of conversation was one

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: that you and I had on Friday when we were

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: in for Stugatsen Company, was about tanking. But I think

29
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: it's a bigger deal than that. Monts is a huge

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: NBA fan, Shay follows the NBA. Chris is all about

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: Detroit basketball, So your Maverick stink there it is. That

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: is where we stand right now with this group all

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: over the map on their basketball, love, their basketball hate.

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: You are a hoophead, You're an NFL All pro that

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: would much rather talk about basketball than football. So I

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: want to talk about basketball. Let's do it, Dan and

37
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: I want to have an open conversation. I want Manzi,

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: I want Chris, I want Shay into this conversation because

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: is the NBA's biggest problem right now. Tanking is That's

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: where I want to start off, because that's where Adam

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: Silver started off his press conference, and that tanking yesterday

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: was the biggest problem because it has now gone to

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: the lengths that we have not seen before. Stuff happening

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: prior to the All Star Game and the All Star Break.

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: We've had teams resting players playing in the early quarters

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: and not playing them in the fourth quarter. Teams were

47
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: fined for those actions. Tanking is now the question at hand,

48
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: Carrie Rhodes, is tanking the biggest issue with the NBA.

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: No, tanking is not the biggest issue in the NBA.

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: It is the quality of play that's the biggest issue

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: in the NBA. As much we wanted to be a

52
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: parody driven league, we want to sell the idea that

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 4: you know, there are multiple teams that can win the championship.

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: And when I mean multiple, I mean more than two,

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: because there's usually two people that have a chance from

56
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: the East and the West, right, So I think that

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: is I think that is the biggest problem for me.

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: I'm an avid basketball player, which I mean basketball fan,

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: which which you stated before. I loved the game. I've

60
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 4: loved the game since I was a kid, played it

61
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: since I was a kid, and so you know, growing

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: up in the era when it was the Michael Jordan's

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: and the Clyde Drexler's and the Karl Malone's and the

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: John Stocktons and you know the Magic Johnson's Larry Birds.

65
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: Early in my career, like remember in that style of play,

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: in that brand of basketball, and how competitive it was.

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: And every week, even if you weren't like a fan

68
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: of that team, if a good game was on Sunday NBC,

69
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: we would probably sit there and watch it right like

70
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: it was something that you could step away from reality

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: for a bit and actually watch people compete and actually

72
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: not know who's going to win that game based off

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: of if those two Marque teams are gonna play. When

74
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: you watch now, you know that the teams that even

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: if it's a Marque game, you know who's the favor

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: You know who's probably gonna win that game if they

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: show up. That's kind of where we are now. All

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: they do now is shoot threes, which I have a

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: big problem with as well. Back in the day, there

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 4: was so much diversity in the game. You couldn't even

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: get in. You couldn't even like for you to go

82
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: get a layup in that game with the way that

83
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: the spacing was like you were fighting to get that bucket,

84
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: like everything was a fight. Everything was a scratch and

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: a call like you left that game. People were leaving

86
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 4: that game bloody if it was a competitive game. And

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: so to see the state of the competition go down

88
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: and this game just be about pick and roll and

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 4: shooting threes or picking your matchup you want because it's

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: the floor is so spaced out, and if you get

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: that matchup, Shade Gildas, Alexander's gonna get to the free

92
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: throw line or it's gonna score because that's how good

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 4: they are. But back in the day, it was just

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: a different brand of basketball. And so for me, I

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: think it is just the competition and the style of

96
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: which I think affects it the most.

97
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: Do you think how much do back to backs bother you?

98
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: And how teams handle their workload with.

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: Back to backs? I mean, yeah, that's part of the

100
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: problem too, And I think that's minor.

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: Maybe it just kind of lends to the competitive nature

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 4: of it still like in those days, like those guys

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: want it to play, and it seems like nowadays, I

104
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: don't know.

105
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: If they want to play if they're tired, you know

106
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: what I mean.

107
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: So I feel that kind of that it's a little angst.

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: There about us as fans wanted them to them.

109
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: Not I'm interested in what their crew thinks as well,

110
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: because I think, for a while, and I think even

111
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: up to this day, there are people that may feel

112
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: that someone like Steph Curry saved basketball, but maybe Steph

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: Curry hurt basketball. Yes, I don't want to say ruined, no, no,

114
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: but I like, I find the comparison, and I'm curious

115
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: about again what Monty thinks and what Chris and Cha think.

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: I look at the NFL and I just I'm I'm

117
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: almost glad. Not that my Seahawks won. You're glad, but

118
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: I am. I'm very glad. We can we can switch.

119
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: Do you want to switch? Let's talk about get a

120
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: quarterback of Sam Darnold's caliber won a Super Bowl? Because

121
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 2: everything is about the quarterback in the National Football League,

122
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: and I just think it's I don't think it's good

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: for the game. I think that there is so much

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: on the quarterback shoulders and how teams in the game

125
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: was so quarterback dependent. I don't think it's good for

126
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: the NFL. So seeing a team that wasn't quarterback dependent

127
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl, I thought was good for the game.

128
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: Now we're in the NBA talking about three point dependent.

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: Are you listen. I'm talking to a woman who in

130
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: her high school days it's seven threes in a game.

131
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: And this is not a lie.

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: This is a true, true fact. Seven I did.

133
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, I got a technical for keetting my arm

134
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 6: up too, that's yeah. And I said I was not

135
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 6: I was, it was my form. I do not think

136
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 6: tanking is the biggest issue, which is how you started

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 6: the conversation. I do not think tanking is I am

138
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: not even noticing it, to be honest with you, it

139
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 6: is the level of play. I don't think Steph ruined

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 6: or I know what you're saying, though I totally get it.

141
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 6: It's just people think that now they can be like Steph,

142
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 6: and it's like, no, no, no, you can't be Steph.

143
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 6: You can't be Damian Lillard. Like, I don't understand who

144
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 6: needs to tell you that just because they do, it

145
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 6: doesn't mean you can. But it did seem to change

146
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 6: the way of the game. But I think it's the competitiveness,

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 6: it's the buddy buddy that they are. It's like, I

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 6: don't want to know that your friends you can be friends.

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: I don't want to see this in the middle of

150
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 6: a game or after a game. Can y'all take a

151
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 6: picture after later out out of your clothes and your

152
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 6: street clothes. You know what I'm saying, Like, I don't

153
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 6: like just the competitive nature of what I feel like

154
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: NBA used to be is not there. And it's across

155
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 6: the board entirely. There's only a few players that care

156
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 6: about winning. There's only a few coaches that like have

157
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 6: that like tough mental, I'm gonna step on your throats like.

158
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 6: Other than that, it's like we're all buddy buddies, and

159
00:07:59,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 6: I hate that.

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: I agree with you as well. I don't think that

161
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: tanking is an issue. I don't think least us through

162
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'll Shane chris Field for us. We

163
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: never cared about the Utah Jazz really, and now all

164
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: of a sudden, we're supposed to be up in arms

165
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: over them. And I feel that it's a way of

166
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: the NBA maybe trying to cover what is happening. And

167
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: I find your two answers very intriguing because if I

168
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: went throughout the hallways here at Fox Sports Radio, you

169
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: were two of the biggest basketball fans that I know

170
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: that actually loved the game. And I think that there

171
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that after last Sunday football

172
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: season was over and maybe their second favorite sport is

173
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: hating on the NBA. So I don't take there because

174
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: people haven't been paying attention and haven't been following, So

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to take their opinion. I'm not going

176
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 2: to take their opinion and have it have any weight whatsoever.

177
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: I just think that we need to have a conversation

178
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: on where the league actually is. And I think both

179
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: of your points. It's very very interesting that tanking is

180
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: not a problem. Yet if you were to sit in

181
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: an Adam Silver press conference apparently would be the end

182
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: of the world or on social media, and I just

183
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: I agree with you guys. I don't think that that's

184
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 2: the issue.

185
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 7: Chris Purphett well as someone who's just watched his team,

186
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 7: I forget how many years now, holding the worst record

187
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 7: in the NBA, repeatedly picking in the top in like

188
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 7: the top of the lottery, repeatedly. I don't know if

189
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 7: tanking is the worst issue, but I think it's part

190
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 7: of a larger symptom, and I think we kind of

191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 7: hit on it.

192
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 5: We keep touching on it in different places.

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 7: Carrie, you mentioned guys not playing every night, you know

194
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 7: that you just don't know who's going to play. We

195
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 7: mentioned Steph Curry about everyone trying to be Steph Curry

196
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 7: and hitting the three. I think the keyword here, the

197
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 7: ghost that is plaguing the NBA, is one word optimization.

198
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 7: What is the most optimal way, in the minds of

199
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 7: some people to have your stars ready for the playoffs?

200
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 7: It's load management. What is the most optimal way to

201
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 7: try to improve your team by a roster It is

202
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 7: tanking to improve your odds in the draft. What is

203
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 7: the most optimal way to score? While everyone now says

204
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 7: it is looking for the three point, it is this

205
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 7: rather than just taking it as a game. I feel

206
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 7: like a bunch of people around the NBA, in front

207
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 7: offices and analytics have taken this as a math problem

208
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 7: to be solved, and they're not looking for what is

209
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 7: the best product night in and night out. They're looking

210
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 7: for the most optimal way to achieve the goal they want.

211
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 7: And sometimes that's just that doesn't make a sport fun.

212
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 7: And I think the NFL at least has got out

213
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 7: in front of an analytics wave that was trying to

214
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 7: make the game less fun. Baseball had to put a

215
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 7: stop on several things, especially the shift, etc. I think

216
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 7: the NBA hasn't been able to get out in front

217
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 7: of that, but it's hard to put it into words

218
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 7: because it takes on so many different forms.

219
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: One of the NBA's grandest moments, and they may not

220
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: want to admit it, is the conspiracy theory of the

221
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: frozen envelope in the nineteen eighty five draft lottery with

222
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: Patrick Ewing going to the New York Knicks, and the

223
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: reason why that was conspiracy, the dented corner stern feeling,

224
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: just so the Knicks could get Patrick Ewing. I mean,

225
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: we're forty one years removed from it, and I think

226
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: everyone knows that story.

227
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 3: That story.

228
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: The reason why it could be was because each team

229
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: had one envelope in the lottery bin. I've harped for

230
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: years and for the NBA to try to correct their

231
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: tanking issue, I said it to you on Friday, just

232
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: don't have a weighted lottery, don't reward losing. Make having

233
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: the first team out of the playoffs have the same

234
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: exact odds as the team that was the furthest out

235
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: of the playoffs to have the number one overall pick,

236
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: that would change the incentive, the incentive for teams to

237
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: lose games, and you maybe would have to make a decision,

238
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: which we saw with seven and eight or with the

239
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: eight seed a few years ago before the play in tournament,

240
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: did teams want to be in the lottery or did

241
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: they want to lose in the first round to the

242
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: number one seed? And now we see teams actually wanting

243
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: to get into the play in tournament and having those opportunities.

244
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: If you lose in the play in tournament and still

245
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: can get in the lottery, that gives you enough reason

246
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: to want to play. I think those are easy ways

247
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: to change tanking and simple ways to change tanking. Why

248
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: not try it. You don't need to be the first

249
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: topic of conversation on a State of the League press

250
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: conference because I think it's easily fixable. The person to

251
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: Chris Purfett's point that is apparently so mad that the

252
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers is Sam Presty in the

253
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder because their favorite math equation was addition.

254
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: That's all they would do is they would just add assets,

255
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: AD picks, ad players, and then they hit the home

256
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: run with SGA as part of the Paul George Trade.

257
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: If you're Sam Presty and you're seeing this, you're saying,

258
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: look at how we turned around and turned our team

259
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: into an NBA title. They only had two down years

260
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City, and now they're back to being the

261
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: best team in the NBA and back to being that

262
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: level a Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had them. I

263
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: can understand why they are mad, but that's not the

264
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: overall issue. It's everybody who's under Oklahoma City or actually

265
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: what Oklahoma City, to your point, is doing on the court.

266
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: We got say, you got something to say real quick?

267
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, No, I don't.

268
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 8: I don't really have a real issue with I don't

269
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 8: think it's a real issue at all. To be honest,

270
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 8: I don't have an issue with it. And I don't

271
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 8: think it's an issue because I mean, we have the

272
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 8: lottery for a reason.

273
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 5: You could think.

274
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously people want to say that it is

275
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 8: a very fixed thing with the masket and Cooper flag

276
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 8: whatever whatever, if it's only.

277
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: Real problems about when Bayama going to San Antonio not Detroit.

278
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying. So and I'm just people people.

279
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 8: People could say it's fake people could say it's real,

280
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 8: whatever you want to say, but I think the lotteries

281
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 8: there for a reason, don't have an issue with it.

282
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 8: Don't think it's the issue. The real problem with it

283
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 8: is I it might not have anything to do with this,

284
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 8: but I think that player brands have gotten too big

285
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 8: and to the point where they're becoming bigger than the

286
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 8: actual teams. I think people know the third man on

287
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 8: the Lakers, like Austin Reez, more than they know anyone

288
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 8: or even the Jazz are still a team. So it's

289
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 8: like I think the main issue is is once player

290
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 8: brands get a little bit too big, you start seeing

291
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 8: things where they have voices to where they can say

292
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna play, or I'm not gonna do this,

293
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 8: or I'm not I don't want to do this anymore,

294
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna say it. And Lebron's and obviously there's

295
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 8: going to be Lebrons in every league, but once you

296
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 8: have like twenty Lebron's in one league, it becomes too

297
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 8: much and I think they get too much say and

298
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 8: I think that's the real issue and.

299
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 4: The piggyback of shade the player empowerment, right, you have

300
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: the tenth guy on the bench, sitting with his kids

301
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: sitting next to him during the game. Sure you know

302
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: what I mean, like the power that they have as players,

303
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: and you don't see that in any other ways, No,

304
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: I mean you just can't. And so the fact that

305
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: that's allowed for us as fans when you watch that,

306
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: like how I mean, I know the game's over, sure,

307
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 4: but the game's not over until zero zero zero.

308
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: Right.

309
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: As a fan, we're there for the experience of seeing

310
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: the competitive game and seeing, you know, these teams duke

311
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: it out for their fan basis, because I mean, at

312
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: the end of the day, they are movable assets. And

313
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: so as rooting for players individually and wanting them to

314
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: have success as your own personal thing, but when you're

315
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: rooting for a team, like the team kind of trumps

316
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: the players and from a fan perspective. So if we're

317
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: seeing it that way and the organizations are seeing it

318
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: as no, the are our most valuable assets, assets, we

319
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: got to take care of them, there's a disconnect there

320
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 4: as well, And so when you watch that product, it

321
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: feels a little tainted. And then to your point with

322
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 4: OKAC and how they built it, I mean, it's just

323
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: it just shows you the upper echelon of what a

324
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: GM a.

325
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: GM can do for your team.

326
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: And you know that being a Seattle Seahawks fan, right, Yeah,

327
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: Your GM and your owner are so invested in winning

328
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: and doing it at the cost of nobody. Like if

329
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 4: we just had we had Geno Smith that played well there,

330
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: he's not going to be the answer for his long

331
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 4: term cool, let's get off. This is bringing a guy

332
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: that's similar, that can come in every a little cheaper,

333
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: and let's do that. And I think that's like having

334
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: that flexibility and doing it for the betterment of your

335
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: franchise and your team and your product for your fans

336
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: to consume. I think that's the way, and I think

337
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: that's where the NBA is a little different as well.

338
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: I think that that Oklahoma City I knew in a

339
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: way they got lucky with SGA that he is this good.

340
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: Of course, yeah.

341
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: Now, I do also think that there is development within

342
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: the Okay organization where like, to just use the NFL

343
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: as an example, people always talk about, Man, what about

344
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: if the Bears had Patrick Mahomes, he wouldn't have been

345
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: as good. The Bears would not have three Super Bowls.

346
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: It's how Andy Reid and the Chiefs were able to

347
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: develop and cultivate Patrick Mahomes's talents into what they do,

348
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: which made them the Juggernaut and the three Super Bowl

349
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: wins that they had. And so I give Oklahoma City

350
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: credit for taking Sga as the player that he is,

351
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: but they were also lucky that they got the type

352
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: of player that could turn into to that player. But

353
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, despite their couple of down years and it

354
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: was like, really one really bad year and then the turnaround.

355
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: It takes other organizations a bit longer, yes, and maybe

356
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: you swing and miss and don't get the SGA. And

357
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: that's why I don't think tanking is an issue just

358
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: because it may take Danny Ames to the Utah Jazz

359
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: a couple of more years. But I told you on Friday,

360
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: I loved how they were in on Jaren Jackson and

361
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: how there was another team, not just the contender, not

362
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: just the Warriors, Heat and Spurs and Thunder and Knicks,

363
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: that were maybe in on a player on those same

364
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: teams that we hear over and over and over again.

365
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: You had a new team come to the party that

366
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: may be interested. It's one of the reasons why the

367
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: Bucks held on to Giannis is there probably are gonna

368
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: be more teams that are interested in Giannis in the

369
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: offseason than there were at the trade deadline. That's good

370
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: for basketball, but not every team could turn it around

371
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 2: in one season.

372
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: How long did it take the process in Philadelphia?

373
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

374
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that this is this tells you all

375
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: you need to know that tanking is not the issue.

376
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: Your quality of play. You and Monci say is absolutely correct.

377
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean, Shay's observation is totally correct. And I go

378
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: back to the point of just uniforms, of what are

379
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: we doing with the identities of these teams? Are we

380
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: really selling Laker uniforms or Piston's uniforms or Warriors uniforms

381
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: or we just selling styles on the racks in sporting

382
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: stores and the infanatics across the country to make more money,

383
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 2: Like there's a there's a brand to it. You would

384
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: rather you're buying the jersey for the name on the

385
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: back almost as opposed to the one that's on the front, right,

386
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: And I think that that is to lends to Shay's point,

387
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: that's something that the NBA has to solve. I think

388
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: this is a really good conversation. I want to keep

389
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: it going. You can reach out to us at Carrie

390

394
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: because there's a harsh truth that the NBA needs to realize.

Speaker 2: You guys may not agree, but I'll tell you what

396

424
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: So the All Star Game is underway. One US team

425
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: is facing the world. It looks like it's the Seattle

426
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: Cracket against the Tennessee Titans with the graphics that we've

427
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: got on the screen for the NBA. Moncey Belanos will

428
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: have an update for US Daytona right now. Caution and

429
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: we're down to about ten or twelve laps to go,

430
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: but there's the caution flag out after a wreck. There

431
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: will probably be about five more cautions because of what

432
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: can happen down the stretch and going down the stretch

433
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 2: at Pebble Beach, Kala Morikawa Minwu Lee tied for the lead.

434
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler's not gonna win but on fire with a

435
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: sixty three today, but Minwu lose in the clubhouse at

436
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: twenty one under. We'll have an update on how things

437
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: play out with Mancy in about twelve minutes or so.

438
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: But Mante Belanios is a part of the conversation along

439
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: with Kerry and myself, Chris Purfett, Shay Moganngard, our executive producer,

440
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: talking about the NBA and where the NBA truly sits.

441
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 2: This isn't a rain on the NBA's parade on All

442
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: Star Game, but this also isn't a let's parade the

443
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: NBA around, and let's really talk about the issues that

444
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: right now maybe hampering the league. And television ratings for

445
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: this season are up. They are up through December. Through

446
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: the end of twenty twenty five, television ratings were up

447
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: eighty nine percent, and I think that is a lot

448
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: to do with NBC becoming a partner with the NBA

449
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: and having these games on network TV. But we've heard

450
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: great reviews from what Amazon has done with their broadcasts,

451
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: what Peacock has done with theirs when they're not on NBC.

452
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 2: And ESPN obviously continue to hold onto to their portion

453
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: of the deal, even without inside the NBA really being there.

454
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 4: Yeah right, Yeah, you hit the nail on the head

455
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 4: with that one, Dan. I think the coverage around the

456
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: game has been so much better, and I think it

457
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: does hurt a little bit that it is Prime that's

458
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: the one that's kind of leading the charge. I think

459
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: their basketball coverage has been phenomenal, and you got former

460
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 4: players that actually care about the game, and they're actually

461
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 4: giving you insightful information on what's happening. I mean, they'll

462
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: break down plays, they'll break down what the players are

463
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 4: thinking in those moments. It's more it draws us in

464
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 4: as an audience member, even people that know basketball, like

465
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: you're still learning because these are the best of the best,

466
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 4: right And so I love that.

467
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: I love that part of it.

468
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 4: I think the other part of this is obviously the

469
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: NBC stuff as well, was good, even though they sold

470
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: us on this Michael Jordan thing and it was going

471
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 4: to be bigger than what it was. Yeah, right, that

472
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: wasn't That wasn't great, but they sold it. But again,

473
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 4: they sold us a product and we were hooked. Yeah,

474
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 4: and I think doesn't know that happened that prime time

475
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 4: game with NBC and that coverage and the starring lineups,

476
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: all that stuff.

477
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: Is really good for the game. Feels like it was

478
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: a bit of a three card money, right. I think

479
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 2: we've got Michael Jordany's going to be with us, and

480
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: then you find out their tape segments and they're taped

481
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: in advance and he's not on set, So that was

482
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: the part that kind of went awry. But I don't

483
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 2: think that we can have an honest NBA discussion without

484
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: talking about the ratings increases that we've had. So people

485
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: are watching, it's just of what they're maybe wanting from

486
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: the product. And that's why I think coming out of football,

487
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: there are many football fans who just don't like the

488
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: NBA and don't care about the NBA and can easily

489
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 2: place the blame on the NBA for their reasons of

490
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: not being interested. But I don't think that that's the

491
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: place of where the NBA is in the sporting world

492
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: and This is actually what I think is the bigger problem.

493
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: And I'm curious on what you guys think about this.

494
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: And if we're rolling, I have no idea on what

495
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: camera I want to look at, but i want to

496
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: make a point, so I'm just going to look at

497
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 2: one of them and have it in the right direction.

498
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: I think there's this enormous misconception about the NBA carry

499
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: that the NBA is number two when it comes to

500
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: sports fandoms in sports leagues, in the hierarchy, And I

501
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: think that's a problem because I actually think that the

502
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: NBA is fourth.

503
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: Ooh.

504
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: I think that the NBA is fourth and the NFL

505
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: is king. It is absolute king. And if you wanted

506
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: to put the NFL off season as its own entity,

507
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 2: I would put the NBA down to fifth. What But

508
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this, like, would you would you

509
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 2: do you think it's fair people think that the NBA

510
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: is like the second biggest sport?

511
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, would you think that? Manzi? Along those lines, We've.

512
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 6: Talked about this, and you have said this to me,

513
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 6: I know, trust me, he said this to me. One,

514
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 6: I do think the NBA is number two.

515
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 3: So I have the.

516
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: NFL one, and I think, if we really are honest

517
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: with ourselves, you have to include this because I'm not

518
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: saying professional college football is by far and away way

519
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: more popular than the NBA. And if you were to

520
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: look at National Championship game ratings compared to what NBA

521
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: Finals ratings, thirty million people watched Indiana against Miami during

522
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: the NFL season. So people can care about college football

523
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: while football is going on. They can care about another sport.

524
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: It's college football. They're just not caring about the NBA.

525
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: I think Major League Baseball is past the NBA in

526
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 2: terms of its popularity and I think World Series numbers,

527
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: I think the emergence of a star like Shohey Otani.

528
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: I actually think the villainous role of the Dodgers now

529
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: with the rest of Major League Baseball. I think that

530
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball and the changes, whether the changes that

531
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: they've made within their sport, have elevated it. I think

532
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 2: on a local level, it's way healthier than the NBA is.

533
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: If you go to markets, and I know we live

534
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 2: in the we live in southern California in Los Angeles,

535
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: Manzi spends half of her life at Dodgers Stadium. It

536
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: is so I understand that there's a bias there, but

537
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: I know back home, the Brewers, who have the best

538
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: record during the regular season are drawing fans. I know

539
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: teams like the Phillies are drawing fans. When your team

540
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: is in it, your community and your fan base is

541
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: in it as well. And that is the case with

542
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. And so while it is a regional

543
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: sort of aspect like college football can be. The SEC

544
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: cares about the SEC to hate the Big Ten. Big

545
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: Ten cares about the Big Ten, they hate the SEC.

546
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: It's a different sort of regionality. But when you have

547
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: the amount of viewers for twenty seven million viewers to

548
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: watch Dodgers Blue Jays, and I get the Dodgers in

549
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: the draw and all of that. This wasn't Dodgers Yankees

550
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: from the year prior, which by the way, also outdrew

551
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals in those series. I think Major League

552
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: Baseball is in a better spot than the NBA right now.

553
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: And if the NBA really wants to be honest with

554
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 2: him themselves, they have to realize that. And it may

555
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: go along with Shay and talking about branding, but for

556
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: whatever reason, like Shoho Tani carries a lot of weight, Okay,

557
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: but we also fall in love with some of these

558
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: younger stars.

559
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 6: Elie de la Cruz, Elie de la.

560
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: Cruz, Manci's got a Paul Skiing T shirt. Yes, like

561
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: there's those stars are developing, and for a while that

562
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 2: wasn't happening in Major League baseball. So if you're the

563
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: NBA and you really want to be honest with who

564
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: you are, you're behind the NFL, you're behind college football,

565
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: and you're behind major League baseball right now, and that's

566
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: where your changes have to be made, because I think

567
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: on a general surface, people think that they're number two,

568
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: and right now I don't think that they're even close

569
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: to being number two.

570
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to disagree with you on that one, Dan,

571
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: on the on the merit of pretty much what you said, so.

572
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 3: I think I would I would say they're still too.

573
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 4: But the thing that you just said stars and matchups,

574
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 4: I think the draw that can come from a beautiful

575
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: matchup the Dodgers and the Yankees, right, that's gonna overdraw

576
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: pretty much everything but the NFL. Right, that's that's a

577
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 4: matchup that's not the game of baseball being more popular

578
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 4: than the NBA. I know you can go ratings and

579
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: you could you can prove your your your your your

580
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: claim there. But I mean just I think from a broader,

581
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: a broader scenario, if you step back and you remove

582
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: yourself from that Dodgers Yankees worship, you said the Dodgers

583
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 4: Blue Jays blue Jays hadn't.

584
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: Been there in a while.

585
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: It was a it was a cool matchup, but I

586
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 4: think that was more of a draw because of Shoheya Tani,

587
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: not because of the Brewers being I mean the the

588
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 4: Blue Jays being in it right, and you go to

589
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: college as well, I mean college is always college football,

590
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 4: I think will always have a have a space there.

591
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: And could be I would say this, they could be

592
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: two a in this conversation.

593
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: I just don't think because of the star the stars

594
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 4: that we've had in even up until this year as well,

595
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 4: the most recognizable stars in the world would be NBA

596
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: over Baseball, over college any of those guys, because most

597
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: of those guys are looking up to the NBA guys

598
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: as well. And so just from a stardom star league perspective,

599
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: maybe the NBA isn't it isn't as popular as a whole,

600
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 4: but the brands and the stars will always have a drawl.

601
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 4: And if Lebron was to make it to the finals

602
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: with the Lakers and play the Knicks this year, you

603
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: don't think that would be a higher rating, higher rating

604
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: than the than the college football.

605
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not being a stinker. What about the Celtics

606
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: Mavericks Final with Luka donc Why are you doing that

607
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: to me right now? Because the Celtics are I've been

608
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: told this amazing brand right a top five, top three,

609
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: something top two. I think Lakers Warriors are the top

610
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: two brands right now, but Celtics up there. We had

611
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: a Celtics Mavericks Final with the young star of Luka

612
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: Doncic and his amazing playoff run get outrated by the

613
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: World Series. So even in the NBA's it may not

614
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: be best case scenario, that's pretty good scenario that they had

615
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. And they couldn't meet Major League

616
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: Baseball in that scenario. So that's where I think like

617
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: the reality of it is. You know what, the NBA,

618
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: despite have no longer having a dominant team and having

619
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: more parody, still has had an NBA Finals that I think,

620
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: on paper, if you were to write it out, would

621
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: have been an option and it wasn't good enough to the

622
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: top Major League Baseball.

623
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 3: I want to ask Moskie MASSI are are you? Are

624
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: you available right now for us?

625
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 6: I'm available. I was just trying to figure ot how

626
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 6: to sit this guy's name at the date twenty five hundred.

627
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 4: If I mean, obviously the Dodgers, let's think the Dodges

628
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: out of it. If it was Yankees, and who else

629
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 4: would be like a team from the West End that

630
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: could be another the Padres with the Padres Yankees Padres

631
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: in the World Series, and you had a chance to

632
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: watch Lebron and the Lakers and not just to throw

633
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 4: him out there because he's Lebron and they're playing the Celtics.

634
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 3: Which game? Which series? Would you be more entrench stand?

635
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: And I know you're you're a basketball fan and the

636
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 4: baseball fan, So I'm asking her just because of that, man.

637
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 6: You just I shouldn't have said the Padres because I

638
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 6: wanna I'm gonna hate watch the Padres. I'm gonna hate

639
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 6: watch those Padres, like absolutely that matchup. If you wouldn't

640
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 6: have said Lebron, if you would have given me someone else,

641
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 6: I maybe, but that's that particular matchup. You just gave me. Yeah,

642
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 6: I'm gonna watch the Yankees on the padres really.

643
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 11: That particular matchup, that one you just gave me, But

644
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 11: it's not I agree with you that there's like it

645
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 11: depends on the matchup, but I feel like I'm tired

646
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 11: of Lebron and I'm tired of the Lakers, and so

647
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 11: that one.

648
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 6: I'm just what I wanted to add while you guys

649
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 6: were talking, because you guys are having a great conversation

650
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 6: is I think the thing I hate to agree with you, Dan,

651
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 6: because I do think baseball is like creeping up. But

652
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 6: the reason it's creeping up is because it feels like

653
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 6: these NBA guys don't care.

654
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, what we talked about earlier, Yeah.

655
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 6: Baseball, those guys care. And I feel like the fans

656
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 6: can see that. You know what I'm saying, Like you

657
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 6: just don't care. If you don't care, why do I care?

658
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow.

659
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: I would say that there's a common parallel that the

660
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: game of baseball and the game of basketball in Major

661
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: League Baseball in the NBA are also played differently in

662
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: the regular season than in the postseason. And but for

663
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: some reason it becomes really appealing in baseball in those

664
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: like you wouldn't maybe want to watch you're not dying

665
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: with every pitch like you are in the postseason. But

666
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: I think that that's I think they're actually similar in

667
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: that way, and they're they're even easier to compare. I

668
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: think if you went city by city, it depends on

669
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: what team. And you know, New York is Mets and

670
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: Yankees fans, but it's a knick town. Like nobody's like

671
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: I'm for the Brooklyn that's like no, but that's you

672
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: can be a Mets fan and be a Knicks fan.

673
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: You can be a Yankees fan and you're a Knicks fan.

674
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: So like stuff like that can like overshadow and override

675
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: and even maybe in LA, but everybody's here is mostly

676
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: a Dodgers or Lakers fan. Sorry Manci, but that that

677
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: seems to be the case. And I think that there's

678
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: parallels in a Major League Baseball if the NBA were

679
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: to look at Major League Baseball and say, all right,

680
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: maybe we aren't number two anymore, and I think just

681
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: I think college football as a whole just completely gets overlooked. Ye,

682
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: And it's an easier argument for the NBA, but maybe

683
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: the NBA needs to realize where they actually are on

684
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: this pecking order.

685
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: Wow, baseball.

686
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 4: It's it's so funny because then I think that part

687
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: of it, that casual nature from I think the viewers

688
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: in the regular season for a MLB game is very casual.

689
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: There's not you're not fighting for the pen at twenty

690
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 4: games in Yeah, just that's not part of it, right,

691
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 4: So that intensity isn't there, But there's nothing. I mean,

692
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 4: playoff baseball I love as well. Like I sure I

693
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: won't watch, I won't watch all year except for my Yankees.

694
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 4: But in the postseason, those games are dramatic. We had

695
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 4: the game that the eighteen inning game in the playoffs

696
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 4: where none of my teams are in it, but I'm

697
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 4: still watching the past my bedtime, Like yeah, you know

698
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 4: what I mean. So at that part I do get.

699
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: I think the intensity of fall baseball is crazy. But man,

700
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: so think they're number two right now?

701
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: Like if I mean, yeah, I'll just say this because

702
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: the checkered flag just dropped, Manzi's gonna tell us who

703
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: won the Daytona five hundred on Fox. But the point

704
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: that I want to make is with and it's something

705
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: going back to what Shay talked about in Brands with

706
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: Lebron and Steph still being in the game, they still

707
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: carry so much weight that when they get ousted from

708
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs, it sucks the air out of the playoffs

709
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: because they're not in and they're not even true title contenders.

710
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: So in your point of having like Lebron, that is

711
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: a that is a storybook ending. But the flip side

712
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: of that is if he's not there, it takes every

713
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: everything out. Sorry, what's that, Chris? Oh yeah, let's go

714
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: to Manzi with the latest of what's going on. That's

715
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 2: what he's telling me. He's like, we got a winner

716
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: in Daytona.

717
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 6: Don't know, we do, Yes, we have a winner in Daytona.

718
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 6: And it's not even who I thought it was gonna be.

719
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 6: It was a rec filled final lap, and so the

720
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 6: winner is Tyler Reddick, who I'm pretty sure Michael Jordan is.

721
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 6: He's like, you know, like it's the same umbrella, you

722
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 6: know whatever. He owns, the car, he own whatever it is.

723
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 6: So Michael Jordan also gets to win, but Tyler Reddick

724
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 6: has won the Daytona five hundred after a last lap

725
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 6: that was just filled with a car wreck. And so

726
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 6: congratulations to Tyler Redick. It's not what I was expecting.

727
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 6: That's not the name. I was trying to figure out

728
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 6: how to say. So don't worry. Don't worry, guys. In

729
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 6: men's hockey at the Winter Olympics, USA just defeated Germany

730
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 6: five to one in this group seats the preliminary round

731
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 6: of that. But they just won five to one. At

732
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 6: the Pebble Beach Pro Am. In golf, min Wu Lee

733
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 6: and Colin Morikawa are tied to the top of the

734
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 6: leader board, but Minwule is done. Marikawa still has one

735
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 6: more whole, so we will see if there's gonna go

736
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 6: a what is it a playoff woff?

737
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 3: Yes, it's five so that could be arniable for.

738
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 6: So it could happen. It could happen. Do we care

739
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 6: about the All Star Game? Well, Team World is up

740
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 6: on Team Stars twenty six to twenty three with three

741
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 6: minutes and forty three seconds ago. I don't even know

742
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 6: if they're going to another Is it just one period?

743
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 6: One quarter?

744
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: We each play a quarter and then the fourth court

745
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: is the championship game. Okay, so the winner of this

746
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: quarter has a wink and they have a loss, and

747
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: then the other US team will play like the other

748
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: US team okay, and then that other US team will play.

749
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 6: The world like in the third quarter. Yeah no, this

750
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 6: all makes perfect sense, all right at all to you guys.

751
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: Thanks Fonsi. No, that's about right. That's about what's going

752
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: on right now is Carry Rhads. I'm Dan Bayer.

753
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 12: Uh.

754
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: We've got according to Manzi coming up in a second,

755
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: as we are live from the Fox Sports at Radio studios,

756
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: Shave Mogan Guard's our executive producer Chris Burfett, our technical

757
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: producer Tyler Redick. Gets to win at Daytona. By the way, Jordan, Yeah,

758
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: not at the All Star Game, Michael Jordan at Daytona

759
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: getting the checkered flag more next year on Fox Sports Radio.

760
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio, Fox Sports Sunday.

761
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: He's the all pro Carry Rhoads. I'm Dan Bayer, and

762
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: we have overtime at the.

763
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 3: All Star Game.

764
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 13: I don't even know if they have it or not,

765
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 13: but the world in USA tied up at thirty two

766
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 13: after the first quarter, so I think there will be

767
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 13: some sort of overtime because somebody I think has to win.

768
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. We're all winners. When according to Manci,

769
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: hits your ears.

770
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 6: Corn and now it's time for absolutely that's it's not

771
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 6: going to be pretty.

772
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 12: According to MONSI I love it. According to Months.

773
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 3: All right, we're not wasting any time. The players have spoken.

774
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 6: That's right, guys. We are very close to the start

775
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 6: of the new baseball season. But what has been the

776
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 6: topic this entire season what the Dodgers are doing, how

777
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 6: much they're spending blah blah blah. Well, Manny Machado, who

778
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 6: plays the Dodgers the most out of all the teams,

779
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 6: this is what he had to say.

780
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. I mean, honestly, I

781
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: think every team should be doing it.

782
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: You know, they've figured out a way to do it

783
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: and great for the game, honestly, So I think every team,

784
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: every every team has the.

785
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 3: Ability to do it. So, you know, I hope, you know,

786
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: all thirty teams could could learn from that.

787
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 6: Oh, guys, but he was a Dodger. Maybe that's why. No, no, no,

788
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 6: what about this guy, Bryce Harper?

789
00:37:58,840 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 10: Okay, bothers me every time.

790
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are spending money, though they draft, they developed,

791
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: they do.

792
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: It the right way. They understand what it takes to

793
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 3: be the best team in baseball.

794
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: And you've seen it in the last two years.

795
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 12: They have so much step when you think about drafting,

796
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 12: developing and things like that.

797
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 14: That's why they win.

798
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 6: Haye to all you want. But when the players are

799
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 6: not against it and don't tell me, well, of course

800
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 6: they make so much money they want this, sure, but

801
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: at least they're all singing the same tune. At least

802
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 6: there's not this division that we see in the NBA.

803
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 6: All the players are on the same page and they're

804
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 6: not hating on the Dodgers. The players have spoken, so

805
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 6: shut up, fans. Dodgers are here to be the evil

806
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 6: empire and I don't care.

807
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: Ooh look at you.

808
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 12: According to Monsei, well, it's all about priorities.

809
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 3: I think it is all.

810
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 6: About priorities, and for some reason, the NBA and Adam

811
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 6: Silver had terrible priorities. When it comes to the All

812
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 6: Star weekend. Your main event shouldn't have been the first one,

813
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 6: the three point shooting contest that I missed. I don't

814
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 6: want to talk about that. Another priority should have been

815
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 6: your fans, not nine hundred dollars to get your foot

816
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 6: in the door. That is not okay. More importantly, I

817
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 6: was declined a media credential. Me and Calvin Washington. I

818
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 6: heard they sent two hundred invites to influencers to come

819
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 6: and cover this event. Why what are they gonna show

820
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 6: me a video of food? I could have done that,

821
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 6: and I actually cover sports.

822
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 3: The priorities are wrong.

823
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 6: From top to freaking bottom. In the NBA Adam Silver.

824
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 6: Get out of here. You're killing it.

825
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: You guys miss the peak. Some boosy put up.

826
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 12: Too over it, over it according to Monsei.

827
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 5: According to Mansi, one song is too long.

828
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 6: One song is too long. If I am at the

829
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 6: drive through and you take a whole song to order

830
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 6: that is too long, you should have gotten out of

831
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 6: the car and gone inside. I just went through this

832
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 6: one of my favorite drive throughs, and I heard the

833
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 6: entire order, an entire bad bunny song went through, and

834
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 6: that girl was still trying to figure out her order.

835
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 6: It is not your first time here in this drive through.

836
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 6: There is no way it is, because I heard you

837
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 6: asking the questions about why they removed certain items from

838
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 6: the menu. If you are in the drive through and

839
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 6: an entire song has gone by, you have taken two

840
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 6: that how long? You should have gone out and walked

841
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 6: your ass inside.

842
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 5: Get a.

843
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 6: But what happened to that box. What happened to that box? Yeah?

844
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 6: It was so annoying because I'm like it just there's

845
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 6: people behind you, you know what I'm saying, and it's like,

846
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 6: I just have a hard time believing this was your

847
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 6: first time and you have no idea what you want.

848
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 10: I think.

849
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: I also in like Starbucks, if your order is gonna

850
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: go over twenty five dollars and you don't have kids

851
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: in the car, go inside, go.

852
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 6: Inside, get inside.

853
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yes, no I do, I don't.

854
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 6: I was so y'all I was ready to throw my

855
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 6: shoe out the window to this woman.

856
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: You guys are validating my point of staying at home.

857
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 6: Stay home. I think that's maybe according to Mansie, stay home,

858
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 6: accordy Mansi stay home. But if you're in the two

859
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 6: months for a damn song, you're ruining everyone's day.

860
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: I think Manny Machado spent the off season trying to

861
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: sound like a Rod talking.

862
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 3: Did you just play a quick second? Yeah, this sounds

863
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 3: like a Ron.

864
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 6: Hold on, this is the question? Sorry?

865
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 3: Okay, right? I love it. I love it. I mean, honestly,

866
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 3: I think every team should be doing.

867
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 2: It, even with the S's and the whole deal. Seahawks

868
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: are super Bowl champs. We talk about it.

869
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: Next, don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

870
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: Some hirings going on in the National Football League with

871
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 2: the offseason going to be ramping up in these next

872
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, maybe some players in some new places.

873
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: So much to get to. But before we get to

874
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 2: all of that, we have to take a look in

875
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: the rearview mirror. He is the Alpro carrier outs, I'm

876
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: Dan Beyer, and the Seahawks are super Bowl champs. Mancy

877
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: Belanios is here lead to Lap taking over as the

878
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: executive producer, Mary macar technical producer. But it is the

879
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: first time on our Sunday show that you and I

880
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: from Week one of the NFL season had been together

881
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 2: all the way up through Super Bowl Sunday and again

882
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: a week ago. At this time, I think Charlie Pooth

883
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: was starting to sing the name national anthem for Super

884
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 2: Bowl sixty between the Seahawks and Patriots. In the end,

885
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 2: me as a Seahawks fan, obviously very happy with the outcome,

886
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: I felt by and large that the country was happy

887
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: with the outcome as well, that the Patriots didn't get

888
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 2: another and that the Seahawks, like him, or not. I

889
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: know Jared versus the Rams hates them, can't stand him,

890
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: and Rams fans may not be excited, and forty nine

891
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: Ers fans may be grumpy that the Seahawks want it

892
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: on their own, in their own stadium, in their own

893
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: locker room. However, by and large, I think the Seahawks

894
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 2: are a team that most of the NFL can live

895
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: with winning a Super Bowl. Seahawks are Super Bowl champs.

896
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: Do you feel most of America was okay with the

897
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 2: Seahawks winning?

898
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: Yes? I do.

899
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 4: I feel the same sentiment Dan. This New England team,

900
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 4: if they would have won this Super Bowl, would have

901
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 4: been the worst champion ever. And I mean that like wholeheartedly.

902
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: That team is not super talented. They have talented players,

903
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: but when you look at them, buy and large, they overachieved.

904
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 4: And I think usually if a team overachieves and they

905
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 4: get to that point, a miracle would be rooting for them, right,

906
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 4: But people can't forget the evil empire that New England

907
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 4: wants us, right. So I think the culmination of both

908
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 4: of those big things being true, Lens Lens, I think

909
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 4: the take that you just that you just made, I

910
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 4: think by and large, people were excited or content with Seeattle.

911
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 4: If it's not excitement content with Seattle being the NFL

912
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 4: Super Bowl champion.

913
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: I think that there if the Kansas City Chiefs and

914
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has got a knee injury, that we have

915
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: no idea when he's going to be able to return

916
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: and play for Kansas City. We expect him back next year,

917
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: just don't necessarily know when we would see Patrick Mahomes.

918
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: But the Kansas City Chiefs now didn't make the playoffs

919
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: this past year. But it's going to take years of

920
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to have miserable outcomes, to have bad seasons

921
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: for people to get away.

922
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: From them, like their dynasty still lingers.

923
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a team like the Philadelphia Eagles, because

924
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 2: of the volatility that their fan base Springs America isn't

925
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 2: rallying behind Philadelphia. And in a Chiefs Eagles super Bowl

926
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: that we had last year, it was almost of pick

927
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: a lesser of the evil. Right, you're maybe an AFC fan,

928
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: so you can't stay in Kansas City. Let's go for

929
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 2: the Eagles, and could be vice versa if you're a

930
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: fan of the NFC, but you're right about the Patriots thing.

931
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 2: Even though I think Vrabel is a very likable character.

932
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 3: Yep.

933
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 2: And Drake May could have great years to come that

934
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: it would have been too soon. What I'm curious about

935
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 2: is a former player, at what point in the game

936
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: did you think that, all right, this is a rap,

937
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: this is Seattle's they're going to win this game. Oh

938
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 2: after the first quarter, after the first quarter.

939
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Drake May was never he never looked competent at

940
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 4: all in that game. And so to see the way

941
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 4: that Seattle, you know, forced their will on New England early.

942
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 4: I mean the open and drive, Seattle came down and

943
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 4: you could see that Sam Donald, now he may have

944
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 4: you know, we've grown to know that he can turn

945
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 4: the ball over whatever, but he came out he wasn't

946
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 4: scared that first open and drive. Some of the throws

947
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 4: that he made like he had the gall to make them.

948
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, Sam Donald's not scared. He's coming

949
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 4: to play. And you felt that way where Drake May

950
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 4: came out and he could never throw the ball on

951
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: this fifth step, like as soon as he would take

952
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 4: a step and this dropped back and looked to throw

953
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 4: the ball, he never could go to his first raid.

954
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 4: And so for me as a defender. Seeing that and

955
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 4: seeing that he was gun shy early, I knew it

956
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 4: was the recipe for disaster for that team. And as

957
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 4: long as Seattle didn't turn the ball over or d

958
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 4: in New England standing in that game, I felt that way.

959
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: That's what was interesting in rewatching the game, because I

960
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 2: was fortunate enough to be at Levice Stadium watching the game,

961
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 2: and I can tell you what my emotions were as.

962
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 3: A how did you come when the Sea Arks scored to.

963
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: Go nineteen to nothing on the AJ Barnard touchdown early

964
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter.

965
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 13: At that point, I thought, okay, that's it. But what

966
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 13: happened immediately after.

967
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: That is the Patriots go down mccollins boom, boom. It's

968
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: nineteen to seven, and I look up on the clock

969
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 2: and I think there's twelve and a half minutes left

970
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: and say it gets twelve point game here. And so

971
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 2: then the Patriots end up getting the football back, Seahawks

972
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: pin them back deep and it's still a twelve point game.

973
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: May throws the interception to Julian Love after getting out

974
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 2: of the shadow of the goalpost, getting out there, and

975
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: then he throws for whatever reason, he threw that pass,

976
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: but the Seahawks then only settled for three, so it's

977
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: still a two touchdown game with a two point conversion

978
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: at twenty two to seven. So I am no longer

979
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: still feeling confident. Even though I was confident at nineteen nothing,

980
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: I was not at twenty two to seven. And it

981
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: wasn't until the Devin Witherspoon sack and ultimately the interception

982
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 2: that it was ruled where Nuosu was able to catch

983
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: the football on that sack and return it for a touchdown.

984
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 2: It was at that point that I gave a cybery.

985
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 2: I thought a lot of stuff was in their favor.

986
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: As a fan, you can't think this way because you're

987
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: so worried. There was a part of me saying, though,

988
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 2: remember this is still a second year quarterback in Drake May,

989
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: and that was even before the first interception, that this

990
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 2: guy really would have to have stones to be able

991
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: to bring his team back against this defense in this scenario,

992
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 2: with the weapons that they did or really didn't have,

993
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Mac Collins ends up being the one to

994
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 2: meet them. Stefan Diggs wasn't a factor. Pop Douglas had

995
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: a couple of catches early on Booty the same thing

996
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: but that was about it. Nobody really got into rhythm.

997
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 2: Nobody was really dangerous. I thought the Patriots secondary and

998
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 2: what they did defensively and at times how they pressure

999
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 2: Darnold did great. But as a fan, I couldn't allow

1000
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 2: myself to think that Drake May wasn't going to do it.

1001
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: I had to think that he was, which is why

1002
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: I was nervous. But in those situations when you're really

1003
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: stepping back and amzing what was on his plate, it's

1004
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 2: just too much for someone in this second year.

1005
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're speaking like a true fan, Dan, of course.

1006
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 4: I mean if I was a fan of Seattle as well,

1007
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 4: I probably wouldn't have thought it was over in the

1008
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 4: first quarter either. Yeah, but just like really seeing it

1009
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 4: and analyzing it for what it was. Drake, Yeah, Drake

1010
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 4: May was just never comfortable.

1011
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 7: Then.

1012
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 4: You you know, you take away his first option and

1013
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 4: he can't throw the ball on time. Obviously obviously he

1014
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 4: has a great deep ball, but never could really get

1015
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: to that in either because of the pressure that Seattle

1016
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 4: was getting up front early on. It was just one

1017
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 4: of those games where as a safety me and looking

1018
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: out of the eyes of Julian Love and Seattle and

1019
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 4: that in that defense, the way that he was never

1020
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 4: on balance that whole game, or able to make the

1021
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 4: reads well to go to his first or second read

1022
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 4: early on in the game, you knew that the eternal clock,

1023
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: the internal clock in his mind was going to speed

1024
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 4: up as the game went on, because even with the

1025
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 4: nerves coming into a big game like that, I haven't

1026
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 4: played in the Super Bowl, but I've played an AFC

1027
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 4: championship game, and just knowing the nerves of that and

1028
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 4: the time that it takes to settle in those games.

1029
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 4: The way that the both teams came out and again

1030
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 4: Seattle was aggressive early on and had confidence in their

1031
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 4: guy in New England didn't and you could tell that

1032
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 4: from the beginning.

1033
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: I say this with respect to the fan bases of

1034
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: San Francisco or Philadelphia, and Philadelphia was able to get

1035
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,479
Speaker 2: a win last year forty nine. Ers haven't won since

1036
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 2: Super Bowl twenty nine, but they've been there. There was

1037
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: something about the Seahawks against the Patriots where it was

1038
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: a relief because you had a chance. It's never going

1039
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: to totally erase what happened in Super Bowl forty nine,

1040
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 2: but there's also the relief and nothing is a guarantee.

1041
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: Just ask so many teams that go to a Super

1042
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: Bowl and don't come back and are waiting to go back.

1043
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 2: But this kind of leads to my next question of

1044
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: there's no guarantee that Seattle's back next year, and there's

1045
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: no guarantee when you look at the landscape of the

1046
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: NFC that there's going to be player Seattle may lose

1047
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: there on Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker may be lost

1048
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: via free agency. You also have the Rams, who the

1049
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: Rams are probably sitting at home saying that could have

1050
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: been us, Right, Yeah, ball goes the other way to

1051
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 2: a certain situations that Charbonnaye doesn't pick up that fumble

1052
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: on the Thursday night game and we're talking about a

1053
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: totally different sort of sort of deal.

1054
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 13: But before I get to ask you of who's likely

1055
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 13: to go back to the Super Bowl. With those two teams,

1056
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 13: it was a relief because they needed to get some

1057
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 13: sort of payback from Super Bowl forty nine that's never

1058
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 13: going to happen again, and to be able to get

1059
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 13: that opportunity to play that same team. That's fan base

1060
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 13: against fan base. It's not players against players, because none

1061
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 13: of the players were on those teams. At that point, right,

1062
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 13: But it was just such a relief to not lose

1063
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 13: and to not go there and lose the Super Bowl

1064
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 13: and to be able to get that victory.

1065
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 3: There was a lot of relief in it for me.

1066
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: And now looking at I'm sure the Eagles fans after

1067
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: winning super Bowl fifty two against New England were like,

1068
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 2: this is awesome, But super Bowl fifty nine, You're like, hey,

1069
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: we just lost to the Chiefs two years ago. We

1070
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 2: can't lose to these guys again, otherwise we'll always be

1071
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 2: thought of is there, you know what? And they were

1072
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 2: able to turn it around. That's right, like in a

1073
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 2: way like the forty nine or agony that the Niners

1074
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: have to deal with. I didn't realize it, and I

1075
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: think it's on a much deeper level than what it

1076
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 2: must feel like for them of getting so close taking

1077
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to overtime, right, thinking you're doing everything right

1078
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 2: and then you can't get it done. And that's what

1079
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 2: the relief of them winning was a big deal for me.

1080
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean San Francisco ahead and one since ninety four,

1081
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 4: I mean that's a long time.

1082
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 3: And again, like I.

1083
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 4: Said, and the fact that they've still had success and

1084
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 4: just had haven't been able to recapture that Golod trophy

1085
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 4: is it is agonizing, and I think the question that

1086
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 4: you were you were starting to ask me between those

1087
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 4: two teams and which team would likely get back or

1088
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: have a chance to get back next year, it would

1089
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 4: be Seattle, New England. This was their chance if they

1090
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 4: were going to win it here, you know, I guess

1091
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 4: in the next couple of years, because you can't expect

1092
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 4: for Josh Allen, you know, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Patrick

1093
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 4: Mahomes to not be back in the mix next year,

1094
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 4: and so for them to make it and sneak through

1095
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 4: the teams that they snuck through to get to that point.

1096
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 4: Even this year beating Denver without bo Nicks, right, like,

1097
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 4: everything kind of fill in their favor. So this was

1098
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 4: their chance with this young iteration of this group. They're

1099
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 4: going to have to retool and get better, obviously and

1100
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 4: bring in more weapons, but Seattle's points to do it again.

1101
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 4: That defense is going to be back, They're going to

1102
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,720
Speaker 4: get better, and I don't think they're going to be content.

1103
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 4: And we talked about some of the disrespect that they

1104
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 4: probably have felt at this point, and then talking about

1105
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 4: the start of the next season and maybe not being

1106
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 4: the first game of the year, like there's some stuff

1107
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: there for them to still kind of grab one too,

1108
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 4: to be the team to come out and say we

1109
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 4: still have to still have something to prove with that

1110
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 4: core being back, So I would say it would be

1111
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 4: Seattle they would have the best chance to get back.

1112
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 2: I'm curious on Monte Bilano's thoughts, but first I want

1113
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 2: to go to executive producer Lead the lap on what

1114
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: he thought on who he thinks you see these two

1115
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: teams want to call you a Packers fan to to

1116
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: lessen your argument. I think it actually strengthens what you're

1117
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 2: gonna say, Lee, who do you think makes it back

1118
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: as a better chance of making it back to the

1119
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: super Bowl in New England or Seattle?

1120
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely Seattle. Both divisions are going to be tough. Newingly

1121
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 5: maybe obviously has an easier path, but the Bills are

1122
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 5: going to bounce back there. Rabel's Rabel's gonna keep building

1123
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 5: on the team.

1124
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: I agree with that.

1125
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 5: McDonald is going to keep on with Sam Donald. They're

1126
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 5: gonna have a great core. That division is not going

1127
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 5: anywhere either. You got the Rams in the Niners. That's

1128
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 5: the part that I prompted passed. I think that the

1129
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 5: AFC is a bit of a crap shoot, And.

1130
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 2: As a Seahawks fan, I'm like, gosh, they got to

1131
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: if they got to do what they did against the

1132
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: Rams again, Like, that's really gonna be difficult.

1133
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 5: But bigger picture studios in Los Angeles, bigger pictures that

1134
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 5: the AFC all together. I think the the Bengals are

1135
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 5: gonna be bouncing back, the Ravens all together is going

1136
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 5: to be a stronger conference. It's gonna this is gonna

1137
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 5: be a one and done Marino style for Drake May.

1138
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 5: He's not gonna He's not gonna make it back to

1139
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 5: another Super Bowl for a while.

1140
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's more pitfalls, but I think that the young

1141
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 2: quarterback that he is, you would think he's not at

1142
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow's level when Burrow went with the Cincinnati Bengals

1143
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 2: and faced the Rams. He's not to that level. But

1144
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: I think that people think, like, well, Drake May can

1145
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 2: get better and can continue on. So that would maybe

1146
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 2: give New England that opportunity.

1147
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it is real quick. You talked about

1148
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 4: the teams going back to face the team that they

1149
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 4: lost in the Super Bowl, right, and some of those

1150
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 4: teams never getting over to hump you guys got over

1151
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 4: to humped with New England. But just think about it.

1152
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 4: The narrative will be totally different about San Francisco too.

1153
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 4: The eighties did who did San Francisco play a couple

1154
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 4: of times in the in the.

1155
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 3: Super Bowl and Bengals.

1156
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 4: Think about that, like if Cincinnati and both of those

1157
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 4: games were tight and could have gone either way, so

1158
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 4: we could be talking about Cincinnati, you know, being the

1159
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 4: team of the eighties, and it's as crazy when you

1160
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 4: think about it from that perspective. So getting back and

1161
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 4: being able to conquer the demon and to beat the

1162
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 4: team that beats you in the Super Bowl, it's a

1163
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 4: big deal.

1164
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 2: If and remember the Niners went to the NFC Championship

1165
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 2: game the year that the Rams played the Bengals, so

1166
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 2: we were like we were one game where a fourth

1167
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,959
Speaker 2: quarter dropped interception maybe away from having our third forty

1168
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 2: nine Ers Bengals sort of super Bowl. But I look

1169
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: at this is something I said I said on an

1170
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: interview that I did super Bowl Week and I may

1171
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 2: have said it here, but I think this is the

1172
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 2: interesting thing about Sam Donald as we look at the whole,

1173
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: the whole NFL.

1174
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 3: And specifically the twenty eighteen draft class. Carrie.

1175
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 2: What I hated about the conversation about Donald was the

1176
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 2: word of this is the phrase used. He's the first

1177
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 2: quarterback from the twenty eighteen draft class to make it

1178
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 2: to a super Bowl. It's twenty twenty six. We need

1179
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 2: to say he's the only quarterback to make it to

1180
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 2: a super Bowl because first makes it seem like there

1181
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 2: are others coming down the way. You could say Drake

1182
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 2: Main's the first from the twenty twenty four draft class

1183
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 2: to make it to a super Bowl, because that was

1184
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: a year and a half, you know, like a year

1185
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 2: and a half ago, less than two years ago. There's

1186
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 2: still guaranteed Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield end up

1187
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 2: going to a super Bowl. We are that far down

1188
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: the line. So there was a point that I made

1189
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: as I heard a bunch of people saying he's the

1190
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 2: first one to do it.

1191
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 3: He may be the only one to do it, and I.

1192
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 13: Think that, but that speaks to also how difficult the

1193
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 13: road is to get to that super Bowl.

1194
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 3: That's crazy. It's been eight years Dan for those guys. Yes, Wow,

1195
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 3: that's that's all I can say. It's you're right, they

1196
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 3: may not make it.

1197
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 4: And to Lee's point as well, with the you know this,

1198
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 4: you know being Drake May's Dan Marino moment, we had

1199
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 4: an interesting conversation about that. I think that what's it

1200
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 4: the other day and the Dan Marino and the Sam

1201
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 4: Darnold conversation like it could be And I know we

1202
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 4: we tend to win these teams and these make it

1203
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 4: early in their career as we expect him to get

1204
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 4: back and it's just not the case. And you just

1205
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 4: you proved it there as far as just the time,

1206
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 4: because you don't. It doesn't seem like it's been eight

1207
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 4: years for those guys, but it has been along.

1208
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 13: It's been a while, Yes, it absolutely has, and it's

1209
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 13: time to put the money where the mouth is.

1210
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 2: A couple of other takeaways. I just want to mention

1211
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: I feel that Donald now is playing with house money.

1212
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 3: The rest of his career. Sure, Like there's like.

1213
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: It can only go up for Sam Donald, Like I

1214
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: don't think that no matter what happens, even if they

1215
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 2: completely bomb out in twenty twenty six and things fall apart,

1216
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,439
Speaker 2: he's going to be the quarterback of this team and

1217
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: have back to back years where he was really, really good.

1218
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: A Drewski needs to go away. It's another can Can

1219
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 2: Drewski just leave?

1220
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 13: How MBA, you have Drewski a part of your all

1221
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 13: star stuff from the crap that he pulled out the

1222
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 13: NFL Honors with Jackson Smith and Jigba.

1223
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 2: I understand that I'm old. I understand that Drewski is

1224
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: not my audience, but I know what's offensive and I

1225
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 2: need Drewski to be gone. I I've never seen anything

1226
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 2: of him until I saw him in commercials and this stuff.

1227
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 3: But the crap that he pulled that the NFL Honors

1228
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 3: needs to that just uncalled for, ridiculous.

1229
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: And Super Bowl sixty one is going to be so

1230
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 2: shoved down in our throats by ESPN. I can't wait

1231
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 2: for Super Bowl sixty two. Like the night I get

1232
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 2: back to my hotel room carry after taking the shuttle

1233
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: from Santa Clara back to San Francisco, and all I'm

1234
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 2: hearing is the handoff, you know, Like I understand, networks,

1235
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: when they get their hands on the Super Bowl want

1236
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 2: to promote it as soon as it's done. The next

1237
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 2: network that has it, NBC has done at CBS Home

1238
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl blah blah blah. No one has taken

1239
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 2: to taking it to the level that ESPN and ABC

1240
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: have done. It is going to be nauseating over the

1241
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: next year on how much they are going to tell

1242
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: you that they are the home to Super Bowl sixty one.

1243
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 2: We're a week removed from Super Bowl sixty and I'm

1244
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: already sick of it.

1245
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 4: I want to piggyback with you on the Juicekei thing,

1246
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 4: the saying I think we're we're in the same range area, Dan,

1247
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 4: and so the juiceky stuff is just over my head,

1248
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 4: all of it in general. So to see how much

1249
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 4: I guess screen time he's getting with all these things

1250
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 4: and the disrespect that he showed to Jays and it's

1251
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 4: it's too much for me as well.

1252
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,439
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, maybe maybe the influencers aren't all that they're

1253
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,959
Speaker 2: cracked up for me. He's carry roads. I'm Dan byer

Speaker 2: check at Flag has dropped at Daytona NBA All Star

Speaker 2: Birds podcast and on Sports Crid Adam Kaplan. We haven't

1268
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 2: spoken since the Seahawks left Santa Clara Super Bowl champions. Yeah,

1269
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Kerry and I were just talking about it, talking about

1270
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 2: my experiences at the game. All we thought the matchup

1271
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: would play out. I'll pose the question I posed to

1272
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Kerry and our crew here, who's most likely to make

1273
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 2: it back New England or Seattle?

1274
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

1275
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 10: Seattle. Look, I picked Seattle to win the game.

1276
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 14: I though'd be way closer, and we can get into

1277
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 14: why it wasn't as close as probably should have been.

1278
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 14: But Seattle set up well. Now they have some key

1279
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 14: free agents out there. Kenth Walker, it's one of them.

1280
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 14: They've got four guys that you know it's gonna come

1281
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 14: down to what those guys want They're gonna want them

1282
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 14: all back in some way or for him. But John

1283
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 14: Schneider has walked away from players before. Look, he's getting

1284
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 14: to know him a little bit. I just know that

1285
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 14: it comes down to what he puts kind of value

1286
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 14: he puts on him. By the way, he's one of

1287
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 14: the few gms that really understands the salary cap and

1288
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 14: cash versus cap. So he's really good. It's the first here,

1289
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 14: by the way, guys that he had full personnel control.

1290
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 14: Carol had personnel control technically while he was there, but

1291
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 14: didn't use it much. But Shanner has it and he

1292
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 14: uses it well. Whereas New Wheeling guys, they're playing with

1293
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 14: house money. They're not the most talent team. I did

1294
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 14: expect much more of them. I have a little bit

1295
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 14: more information if we get over to them, if we

1296
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 14: have time. But Seattle is clearly set up very very well.

1297
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 14: And Sam Darnald, I mean, what could I tell you,

1298
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 14: He's surpassed what I thought he could be.

1299
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: I was going to just say that on that point

1300
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 2: about Carol's influence, Like I felt that the way that

1301
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: things worked in Seattle was if Carol wanted a guy,

1302
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: he would speak up and say go get this guy.

1303
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 10: That was it. That's what I meant when he when

1304
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 10: he wanted it. Yes, and that made the.

1305
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 14: Call on Jamal Adams Penny, Yes, but Jamal A i'ms

1306
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 14: sure it was terrible shot. Penny was his decision, I

1307
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 14: was told at the time, which surprised me. He was

1308
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 14: not just go in the first round. I would think,

1309
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 14: I mean, it's crazy to draft running backs in back

1310
01:01:58,160 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 14: to back drafts in the second round.

1311
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 10: That's just not done. But say love.

1312
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 6: So it was like, well that.

1313
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 2: Was And the reason I wanted to bring it up

1314
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 2: was because and I bring up to Jamal Adams trade

1315
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 2: because it was such an It's not like, you know,

1316
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 2: they went out and got Percy Harvin, you know.

1317
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 3: When they went when the Super Bowl, they did that deal.

1318
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: But that was a trade that was done after the draft,

1319
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: and they were giving up two number ones and sorry

1320
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: for safety carry as I'm sitting next to an all

1321
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 2: pro of one. And it was just unlike anything a

1322
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 2: good GM would do. And so I think that that point,

1323
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 2: you know, just needed to be magnified. And now John

1324
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 2: Schneider has the last laugh.

1325
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 10: So he does. He's he's phenomenal. I mean it's just

1326
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 10: me right now.

1327
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 14: He and Harry Roseman, a couple of the guys are

1328
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 14: the top in the business, and I'm.

1329
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 10: Interested to see what they do here.

1330
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 14: Uh, just going for rashihihid you and they made that trade,

1331
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 14: helped him on special teams, didn't get the ball a lot.

1332
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 14: I mentioned Kenneth Walker and then boy Mafey was available

1333
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 14: at the trade deadline. They wound up not trading him.

1334
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 14: Who's Who's is actually developed. He's an edge rusher. Both

1335
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 14: starting corners, well technically they Wolan and Job if they

1336
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 14: come out with if they played Nickel as they come

1337
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 14: out to start the game, Woolan and Joe are starters.

1338
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 10: Josh jo was a was an uncher.

1339
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 14: After free agent for the Eagles, and he was he

1340
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 14: never really played, was only in special teams. And Kobe

1341
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 14: Bryant also wanted their starting safety. So yeah, they've got

1342
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 14: some decisions to make.

1343
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 4: Adam, you talk about those decisions with Seattle. Obviously we're

1344
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 4: gonna get over to New England in a minute here.

1345
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 4: But Kenneth Walker, right, I mean, this year for him,

1346
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 4: it was a it was a shared ride, right, him

1347
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 4: and Zach Charbonay. So Zach Scharbonay gets hurt and I

1348
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 4: think if the season played out and they both were healthy,

1349
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 4: it'll be a different conversation around Kenneth Walker. But I

1350
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 4: think they can't afford to let him go. What what

1351
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 4: do you think about that moving forward? And can they

1352
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 4: get a deal done with with Kenneth Walker?

1353
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1354
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 14: And carry The thing with with Kenneth Walker is he's

1355
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 14: He's not a guy that started a lot in college.

1356
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 10: He was a one year starter, I believe at Michigan State.

1357
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 14: And the fact that you drafted Sharboning and Walker and

1358
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 14: back and back, Traffs told you that they thought it

1359
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 14: would be a time share. That Walker was pretty much

1360
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 14: not in every down back and they definitely missed Sharboning

1361
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 14: when he towards ACL. They missed him in pass protection.

1362
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 14: Hajwane took over, who was a good story as an

1363
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 14: undirected free agent. But yeah, Walker, to me, see, if

1364
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 14: you see here's the problem with Kenneth Walker. If you

1365
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 14: look at free agency britest halls out there, I'd be

1366
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 14: fairly surprised that if he returned the Javonte Williams it

1367
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 14: kind of had a great season, who showed great problems

1368
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 14: until he had a multi ligament knee injury. Travis Etiano

1369
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 14: his bench more or less two years ago under Doug Peterson,

1370
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 14: who basically Etn kind of lost his starting role a tank.

1371
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 14: Bixby'd wind up getting traded the Eagles. They were in

1372
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 14: a time share, and Etn got his job back this season.

1373
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 10: It was great.

1374
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 14: So, yeah, there are a lot of guys out there.

1375
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 14: He doesn't Walker does not have a lot of leverage

1376
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 14: in the situation.

1377
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 2: Everybody here, Adam Kaplan r nfl in said, are joining

1378
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,640

1379
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Beyer. Everyone here. When I posed that Seattle

1380
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 2: or New England back next year, your question also answered Seattle.

1381
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 3: For one reason or another. Why did you not say

1382
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: New England back?

1383
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 14: All right, So you know, I've been talking about this

1384
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 14: for a number of weeks on FSR. Not the most

1385
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 14: talented team I talked to. I talked to a coach

1386
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 14: who was in the playoffs. His team went fairly far,

1387
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 14: and let's say, if I'm an AFC team, he told

1388
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 14: me he goes look New England because I know those guys.

1389
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 14: It's a great story. But he kind of agreed with me.

1390
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 14: We kind of went over because we were texting during

1391
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 14: the Super Bowl and he's like, look, this is just

1392
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 14: an amazing story.

1393
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 10: No one saw coming.

1394
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 14: I'm sure the Patriots didn't see it, and the fans

1395
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 14: certainly didn't know this.

1396
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 10: You know.

1397
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 14: I'm sure they would have taken nine or ten wins

1398
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 14: the season and a playoff. Just to make the playoffs

1399
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 14: would have been great for them. And this is just

1400
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 14: a great story. So they've got a lot of work.

1401
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 14: Elliott Wolf, who oversees personnel for them, guys, he's got

1402
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 14: a major job ahead of them. They're very light at receiver.

1403
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 14: They overchieved there well, Cambell. My sense is from talking

1404
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:58,919
Speaker 14: to the Patriots they still wanted to be their left tackle.

1405
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 14: He didn't have a good game. But the one thing, guys,

1406
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 14: I want to get to look when we look at

1407
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 14: their situation with Drake May he had a great season. Okay,

1408
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 14: he was my runner up for Pro Football Writer Associations

1409
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 14: for best player in the NFL the season on offense.

1410
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 14: I went with Stafford. I didn't think I honestly, I

1411
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 14: didn't think it was closest people thought it would be

1412
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 14: in the Associated Press agree with me, But what happened

1413
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 14: with may Is.

1414
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 10: It wasn't justice.

1415
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 14: Rachel didn't even think the right shoulder had anything to

1416
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 14: do with his decision making. No, But what I'm going

1417
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 14: to get to is, I'm told by really strong sources. Look,

1418
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 14: the tape shows held on the ball way too long.

1419
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 14: You know that he tends to do that sometimes because

1420
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 14: he wants to make a play. That that's fine, But

1421
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 14: when it's blocked perfectly, and here's the problem. There were

1422
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 14: a number of plays guys where the past targets were

1423
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 14: open and he didn't pull the trigger. Like that's the

1424
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 14: thing that you know everyone's blaming Will Campbell and some

1425
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 14: of the other other offensive linemen. That's fine, but when

1426
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 14: it was blocked up, well, there are just too many plays,

1427
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 14: at least a dozen plays where guys were wide open,

1428
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 14: I'm told, and then he get the football.

1429
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 3: What do I mean?

1430
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 4: Obviously I agree with you on that, Adam, one hundred

1431
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 4: percent as far as the talent goes with that team,

1432
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 4: and they're definitely lacking there. But where do they go?

1433
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 4: Where do they build? They have a tight end that

1434
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 4: in Hunter Henry that's getting older. They have receivers that

1435
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 4: are older, Booty, those guys are decent, but they're going

1436
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 4: to have to add some talent. But even with their

1437
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 4: running back position Ramond Dre Stevenson and trey Bion Henderson, Like,

1438
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 4: who's where are they going to go offensively to build

1439
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 4: this team.

1440
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 14: Yeah, they think if they get Henderson in there in

1441
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 14: the offseason, which they'll do it as great as a

1442
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 14: past protector he was in college, he could not get

1443
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 14: down the scheme like it's I'm told that's really sophisticated

1444
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 14: for rookies to handle. I remember talked to Brian Horry

1445
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 14: about this, Brady's long term back up, like to learn

1446
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 14: Josh mn Jaimes' offensive system is really hard for running

1447
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 14: backs and pass protection as a rookie. So their hope

1448
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 14: is that Henderson gets it in the offseason. He'll be

1449
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 14: in a time share with Stevens. He's explosive back of

1450
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 14: the two, so they think they're set there and had

1451
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 14: and Stevenson. By the way, he's on a very very

1452
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 14: team friendly contract. He signed through twenty twenty eight. The

1453
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 14: cash number in twenty six to six million. That's really

1454
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 14: good for a player of a ZILK eight million twenty

1455
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 14: seven and ten million twenty eight, So he could be

1456
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 14: our while other than Stefan Digs are not paying any

1457
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 14: body anything. No Stephan Dicks. He's got the legal issue

1458
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 14: to get through. He's going to make over twenty two million.

1459
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 14: There's no way he comes back. That's my feeling early.

1460
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 14: There's no way it comes back with that, ye he

1461
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 14: And I'm sure because he had a good season and

1462
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 14: I'm told from a team source that really was a

1463
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 14: good soldier. Let's leave the off the field stuff where

1464
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 14: it is that we're talking about. With the football club

1465
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 14: actually did it was very coachable and it kind of

1466
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 14: worked out. But there's just no way when they did

1467
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 14: this contract. You know, I was saying, of so on,

1468
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 14: there's no way he comes back with us, And from

1469
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 14: what I've heard, it's it'll be it'll certainly be a

1470
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 14: heavy discussion. And Digs, by the way, turns thirty three

1471
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 14: in November.

1472
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 2: Adam Caplin joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Last

1473
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 2: one for me is the quarterback availability this offseason so

1474
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 2: bad that Derek Carr is a vial option.

1475
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 14: Well here's the thing, and I put this on Sports

1476
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 14: Credit last month, Mac Jones. The Niners want it out

1477
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 14: there that it's going to take something. That's That's what

1478
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 14: I'm told that they've put it out there that if

1479
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 14: you want Mac Jones, it won't be cheap because they're

1480
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 14: gonna have leverage. They're going to be a number of

1481
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 14: teams that are going to call them. I mean, it's

1482
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 14: Sandy Jones colling from major injury, Aaron Rodgers, who the

1483
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 14: Steelers would like to have back, and there's no other

1484
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 14: starting quarterback out there. Well, Kirk Cousins will be cut.

1485
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 14: There's no debate, there's no discussion. He's getting cut because

1486
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 14: of the contract restructure that he did. Both sides to

1487
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 14: know that he has to be cut. No one's trading

1488
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 14: for him. So cutting a Cousins Cousins is interesting. They're

1489
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 14: gonna be some teams interested in him.

1490
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 3: Is he carry right now?

1491
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you go ahead.

1492
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, sorry, no, no, you but you're right.

1493
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 14: Look, you could hate it all your but guys, it's

1494
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 14: a terrible look. There's a segment national football like if

1495
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 14: you don't have one, you're looking for one. They're nine

1496
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 14: teams right now. If they're willing to be honest, we

1497
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 14: tell you know, we're not quite sure her a started

1498
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 14: quarterback will be opening day nine.

1499
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 3: Wow, what about bad draft? For it.

1500
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 14: By the way, so after Mendoza, just you know, we'll

1501
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 14: talk more about this in future shows, future segments.

1502
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 4: Adam, One more thing before you go. Yeah, what about

1503
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 4: Maliku Willets. I've heard a lot of heat. It's a

1504
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 4: great look. He looked really good for two games.

1505
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1506
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 14: Now he could be what we call the terms in

1507
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 14: the mix. Yep, you could bring him in. You can

1508
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 14: let compete for it. No one's handing him a starting too,

1509
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 14: I'd be Look, as I said, nine teams right now,

1510
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 14: I don't know they totally know who their starting quarterback

1511
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 14: is after Mendoza. There should be a long way for

1512
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 14: a starting quarterback for the first round quarterback. Wow, Yeah,

1513
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 14: it's just not on paper. It's on paper not good.

1514
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 2: He's Adam Kap on our NFL Insidder. There will be

1515
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,479

01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 6: Dramatic it was. It was like one domino. The first

1534
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 6: crash hit, and then everyone started crashing, and then Tyler

1535
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 6: Reddick just managed to stay out of the way and

1536
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 6: ended up winning it. Like congratulations happens a d it

1537
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 6: does happen. I would be so mad if I crashed

1538
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 6: because somebody out crashing someone else that then got me,

1539
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 6: I'd be so mad. All right in the All Star

1540
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 6: Game that's happening right now. I'm still confused, even though

1541
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 6: Dan thinks it's pretty simple. I'm still confused. But the

1542
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 6: second game just ended.

1543
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 9: Stripes look at a wink, James splits Fox Fox for the.

1544
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 3: Shuper Lovers and the stretch clame Game two.

1545
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 6: NBC on this call over here, the Team Stripes beat

1546
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 6: the Team Stars. Darren Fox hit the game winner forty

1547
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 6: two to forty. Earlier, Team Stars beat World thirty seven

1548
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 6: to thirty five in overtime. So now World and Teams

1549
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 6: Stripes have to face each other, and what if they

1550
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 6: all win one? How do you go to the championship?

1551
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: And I entirely think this time it's gotta be a

1552
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 2: point differential. I would think you would think you would think.

1553
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 6: I hope it's all the exact same for everybody, and

1554
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 6: then I want to see what they figure out. Colin

1555
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 6: Moricawa has won the Pebble Beach Pro Am ending at

1577
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 2: Mary Mack, Who is this bad bunny?

1578
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 3: I thought so. I thought it was.

1579
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 6: I played bad money to the last I thought so

1580
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 6: as well.

1581
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 2: And that's actually what made me ask again, because I

1582
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 2: was like, is she doubling up on the bad Bunny?

1583
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 3: And I think she is And there's good reason. There's

1584
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 3: good reason.

1585
01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 2: Mary mackew is our technical producer lead to lap Art

1586
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 2: Executive producer a Manci Bolanos at the news desk. They

1587
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 2: will be your lifelines coming up in easy as one too.

1588
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 2: Here the easiest question is not number one. I think

1589
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 2: it's in fact the most difficult question today. So just

1590
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 2: put that on your radar. But that comes up in

1591
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 2: about thirty minutes or so. In the meantime, we change

1592
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 2: from one genre to another as we carry on on

1593
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 2: this Sunday an opportunity for us to give carry Roads

1594
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 2: the freeway of topics. He tells us if he's on

1595
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 2: board or off board, off track with a variety of

1596
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 2: topics we throw his way number one topic Number one,

1597
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 2: Carry Roads h apropos the Bad Bunny halftime show at

1598
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty on or off.

1599
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 4: Here you go right away, Dan, I'm going to say

1600
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 4: I'm off of that one.

1601
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 3: I might get beat up in the studio. Mary mac

1602
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 3: is giving you the look.

1603
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 4: Has nothing to do with Bad Bunny at all. But

1604
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 4: the super Bowls of my time, in Dan's time, we

1605
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 4: got artists that the world knew their songs. And I'm

1606
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 4: not saying the world the US in the world knew

1607
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 4: that song. And for me, like the Michael Jackson's The

1608
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 4: Prince is like the catalogs are so big and so

1609
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 4: well known. Now you want to sing along with it,

1610
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 4: And I couldn't sing along with this halftime show.

1611
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 3: So that's the reason I'm off it.

1612
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 2: For me, I thought it was interesting because last year

1613
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 2: the halftime show with Kendrick Lamar just gained so much

1614
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 2: of a life of its own after the fact the

1615
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 2: days after Moncie and We've talked about this two weeks later,

1616
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm like mustard on the brief joke, you know, And

1617
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 2: at the game, I was like, what's going on here?

1618
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 3: Now?

1619
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be that guy being like it's

1620
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 2: different when you're at the super Bowl, but it is

1621
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 2: because it's not for us. It's such a made for

1622
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 2: TV event. However, this performance did not have the legs

1623
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 2: that the Kendrick Lamar performance had last year. And I

1624
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 2: don't know if that's the indictment or not. I feel

1625
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 2: like I'm kind of unqualified to answer, but no, yeah,

1626
01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 2: you say it didn't.

1627
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 3: I was off of this yea case. No, I didn't

1628
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 3: say anything about him though. That's the thing.

1629
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 15: So Bunny's performance was the most like viewed, and Ketchick

1630
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 15: is actually second. And on top of that, he also

1631
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 15: gained like I think a hundred million more streams on

1632
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 15: Spotify and stuff like that, so there was a lot

1633
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,719
Speaker 15: of success with Bad Bunny's performance.

1634
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that kind of goes hands in hand,

1635
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 4: do I think when you perform at the super Bowl,

1636
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 4: your numbers go up.

1637
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 3: So that's part of it as well. If you're on Spotify.

1638
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 3: You should listen to listen to hush By carry Roads nice.

1639
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 3: That's what I would do there. You go there, all right?

1640
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 2: Topic number two, carry on or off the dunk contest. Oh,

1641
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm so off that one.

1642
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, carryes off on that one. We've got to the

1643
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 3: point now, Dan, I think we've seen every dunk.

1644
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if they have to do something else

1645
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 4: and bring the guys off the street, some street guys, uh,

1646
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 4: some guys that aren't in the NBA to you know,

1647
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 4: have Mack McClung. They went to that well so many times.

1648
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Did you see that? Did you see mac mclunk post

1649
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 3: the video of him doing this for dunks? Anyway? Yes,

1650
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 3: and it would have won this one as well.

1651
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 2: So at some point, if you're the NBA, you just

1652
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 2: be like, we're just gonna give you a ten year

1653
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 2: deal to be on a team like it. We'll pay

1654
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 2: you a salary, but your job isn't to help that

1655
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 2: team win games. Your job is to just be in

1656
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 2: the Duncoast over the next five years, for ten years

1657
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 2: or however long it is. All right, more along those lines,

1658
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 2: carry on her off the Shooting Stars competition at All

1659
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 2: Star Weekend I'm gonna be.

1660
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 3: On that one.

1661
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 4: I'm on that when me and Monty we did the

1662
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 4: show yesterday and she loved it so much that she

1663
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 4: convinced me that I had to go back and watch it.

1664
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 4: And so the legend's part of the shooting thing, right,

1665
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 4: Like we expect the NBA guys to be able to

1666
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 4: make the shots that they were doing, but you bought

1667
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 4: some of the favorites back. Allan Houston, I'm allan Houston fan,

1668
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 4: friend of mine shot the ball came out, the Corey

1669
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 4: mcghetty comes out, and he's a part of, you know,

1670
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 4: the Duke family for me, So seeing some of those

1671
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 4: legends was.

1672
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 3: It was pretty fun. It was pretty cool, Manzi. Yeah,

1673
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 3: she loves shooting stars.

1674
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 6: I loved it. I thought it was so fun and

1675
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 6: I thoroughly enjoyed it. Corey mcgetty hit three half court

1676
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 6: shots at the end. No, it was super fun.

1677
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 2: It was the second to last event right of the night,

1678
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 2: or the first for all of us, because we didn't

1679
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 2: realize it started so early.

1680
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 6: That part.

1681
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 2: First time I've turned into an All Star weekend and

1682
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 2: it's like Dame Lillard is one of the three point competition. Wait,

1683
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 2: I missed that exactly. First time. Yeah, first time in

1684
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 2: a long time. I missed the three point shootout. Uh

1685
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 2: not for you carry on or off the three point shootout.

1686
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm on that. I'm on that for sure. Carries

1687
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 4: on that one. That is the that's the best competition

1688
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 4: of all so all weekend. I mean, it's it takes

1689
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 4: actual it's well all that takes skill. But the three

1690
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 4: point shootout is such a skillful event when you have

1691
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 4: guys that come and want to win that, Like you

1692
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 4: can see those shooters they want to have the claim

1693
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 4: as being the best shooter. And it doesn't matter Like

1694
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 4: there's guys in the dunk contest that or aren't in

1695
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 4: the dunk contest that you know, can dunk, and they're

1696
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 4: not a part of it, they don't really care about it.

1697
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,560
Speaker 4: But shooters they want to be a part of the

1698
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 4: three point contests and you feel that.

1699
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 3: Well you have names that you recognize. Yep.

1700
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody really knew anyone who was participating

1701
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 2: in the dunk contest.

1702
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 3: They not even rotations on teams.

1703
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 2: Dan, I forgot who won, to be honest with you,

1704
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 2: I don't even remember who won the dunk contests.

1705
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 3: Last night. I don't need it.

1706
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 2: That's a bad job by me, maybe because I was

1707
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 2: too busy watching college basketball and watching a brawl between

1708
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 2: Saint John's.

1709
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 3: Uh, let's get to that.

1710
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 2: That's number five carry on or off the hard foul

1711
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,719
Speaker 2: that led to the Saint John's Providence brawl.

1712
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 3: I don't even know how to answer this. Am I

1713
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 3: off it? I'm not on. I think I'm off it. Dan,

1714
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 3: I'm off it.

1715
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 4: I think that was such an egregious and out of

1716
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 4: pocket file by the guy from guy from Providence. I

1717
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 4: saw a freeze prime moment on Instagram and it looked

1718
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 4: like he was trying to decapitate the guy, like he

1719
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 4: was pulling his head all the way.

1720
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 3: Off his shoulders.

1721
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 4: And so I'm on board with Saint John's and their

1722
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 4: players sticking up for the guy coming on board and

1723
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 4: and oh that.

1724
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 10: Druss me.

1725
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,759
Speaker 3: We're gonna get to that. You gotta be careful.

1726
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 2: This guy's got a one track mind me to see

1727
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 2: something that is off on that way you got. I

1728
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,520
Speaker 2: was gonna get to Duncan Powell's haircuts.

1729
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 10: You on her?

1730
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 3: Off that? Oh, I'm definitely off the hairstyle. That was

1731
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 3: the worst hairstyle I've ever seen.

1732
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 2: I need I need a zero all the way in

1733
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 2: the back. Just make it a four, just a four

1734
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 2: clippers and it's It was thick too, Dan, it was bad.

1735
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 2: So I'm off that as well.

1736
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 3: Lee and Dan.

1737
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 2: Bryce Hopkins, the former Providence player now playing for Saint John's.

1738
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 2: The crazy thing about it was Duncan Powell was never

1739
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 2: a teammate with Hopkins at Providence, as he just joined

1740
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 2: the team this year, yet felt that he needed to.

1741
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 3: Man, I don't know, have his new schools back. But yeah,

1742
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 3: not a good look. It was bad. It was terrible.

1743
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,920
Speaker 2: I I don't people like hard foul like there's a

1744
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 2: time and place for everything. There are a lot of

1745
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 2: hard follows, not on breakaways where you're going to someone

1746
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 2: from the ninth No, he's Carry Rhodes, I'm Dan Byer.

1747
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Sunday. Who's prime to make a

1748
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 2: run at Super Bowl sixty one? That's next on Fox.

1749
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

1750
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 2: You know, the NFL doesn't make it easy on a

1751
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 2: lot of people. And I'm talking about the NBA and

1752
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 2: NASCAR marquee events having to end up being the week

1753
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: after the Super Bowl. So you're on a bit of

1754
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 2: a super Bowl hangover. They need to get these events

1755
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 2: in at some point. You can't do it on a

1756
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 2: super Bowl weekend, and you can't keep on pushing Daytona

1757
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 2: back to early March because you have a NASCAR schedule

1758
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 2: to run. There's a lot that's going on, but it

1759
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 2: is President's Day weekend, and because of the calendar carry

1760
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 2: and how it works when we enter twenty twenty seven,

1761
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 2: both the NBA All Star Game and the Daytona five

1762
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: hundred next year will be on the week after the

1763
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 2: super Bowl, but Daytona is usually on that President's Day weekend,

1764
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 2: but they are having to move it because of Super

1765
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 2: Bowl sixty one being on February fourteenth of twenty twenty seven,

1766
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 2: and that normally would be an opportunity to run Daytona

1767
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 2: and they're not going to be able to because of

1768
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 2: the super Bowl conflict. So next year we will also

1769
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 2: have the NBA All Star Game in Daytona five hundred

1770
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 2: going head to head. I'd love it if these events

1771
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 2: were to be separated to be watched and consumed. Even

1772
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 2: if you're critical of the NBA All Star Game, It's

1773
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 2: one of the things that I love about the month

1774
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 2: of April, and for people that don't realize it, I

1775
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:34,799
Speaker 2: love March madness. I love everything that comes with March madness.

1776
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 2: I love the brackets, I love the Selection show, I

1777
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 2: love the Championship week, the conference tournament. Everything about March

1778
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,560
Speaker 2: is great. And for me, it's just all about college basketball.

1779
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 2: With NFL free agency in the new year sprinkled in.

1780
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 2: I'm not a combined guy. I don't like the NFL

1781
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 2: combine as much as I love football. Is just I've

1782
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 2: never been a combined guy. So between now and the

1783
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 2: beginning of March, to me, is a little bit of

1784
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 2: an off period. But the reason I bring this up

1785
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 2: is because in April, the way that the sports gods

1786
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 2: have dropped this on us, and I am someone who

1787
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 2: lives by these sports calendar. I know what time of

1788
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 2: year it is, by what sport is going on, and

1789
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 2: I transition from sport to sport throughout the year. April

1790
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 2: has been amazing because you have the Final Four the

1791
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:32,719
Speaker 2: first weekend, the second weekend in April is always the Masters.

1792
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 2: The next week is the first days of the NBA Playoffs,

1793
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 2: so you have the tip off of those games, and

1794
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 2: then the final week in April NFL Draft Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

1795
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 2: So each weekend in April you have these awesome events

1796
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 2: in addition to baseball starting an opening day and having

1797
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 2: that tradition going on in baseball being new you always

1798
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 2: have the argument what's the greatest time of year? And

1799
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 2: the way that April is set up up to me

1800
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 2: is magnificent. But that's what makes this day kind of

1801
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 2: stink because Daytona and the NBA All Star Game are

1802
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 2: on the same day, and now because of the Olympics

1803
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 2: going on and what NBC has, we had the NBA

1804
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 2: All Star Game of Daytona going on at the same time. Yeah,

1805
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 2: it's overload. It's a lot of things going on, Dan,

1806
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess you're gonna watch the thing

1807
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 2: that you that you love the most.

1808
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:23,759
Speaker 3: I would think.

1809
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 4: I think that's probably what most people do. But again,

1810
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 4: like something like the All Star Game back in the day,

1811
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 4: where it was such a draw and people were so

1812
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 4: like looking forward to that time, that's kind of lost

1813
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 4: this luster. So now we have all these things that

1814
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 4: are happening simultaneously where you talk about viewership stuff and

1815
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 4: you talk about the numbers, like where do the eyeballs

1816
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 4: tend to fall in a time like this, Like, what

1817
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 4: do you think is going to get the most coverage

1818
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 4: out of this right now?

1819
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 2: I think the NBA All Star Game will pull Gilden

1820
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 2: you thanks the numbers just being on network television opposed

1821
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 2: to being on TV TNT. I think that will I

1822
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 2: think that will be a good draw. Numbers are up

1823
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 2: this year. I think that that will be I think

1824
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 2: the NBA All Star Game will probably win.

1825
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember you told me, Dan, you don't do

1826
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 3: the seasons. You do, uh, you do the sports that

1827
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 3: sports calendar.

1828
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 2: It is when March, when March turns, it's you know,

1829
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 2: time to get ready for all the conference the smaller

1830
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 2: automatic bid conference tournaments going on, and then you get

1831
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 2: the big boys. Then you get selections Sunday and then

1832
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 2: it's just brackets. The best day at Fox Sports Radio,

1833
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 2: There's there's no doubt about it. The best day to

1834
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 2: be here in these studios. And I don't know if

1835
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 2: it's like this in offices. Is the first day of

1836
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament, that first morning on that Thursday, even

1837
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 2: on the Friday, when BRAC games are starting and people

1838
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 2: are getting involved and getting wrapped up into it. It's

1839
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:54,600
Speaker 2: an awesome time and I just I love March for

1840
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 2: that reason. So with all of that being said, let's

1841
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 2: talk football. Let's go, let's look ahead to next season.

1842
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

1843
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

1844
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 2: On the I Want Earflex podcast that I do with

1845
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 2: Mike Harman and our executive producer Ian Roddy, we pose

1846
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 2: this question at the end of the pod and I

1847
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 2: pose it to you the listener. I pose it to

1848
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 2: you our crew here on Fox Sports Sunday. What team

1849
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 2: do you like in twenty twenty six? What team do

1850
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 2: you think can make a run to Super Bowl sixty one?

1851
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 2: I always laugh at the pundits that say I like

1852
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 2: the Seahawks and Patriots in Super Bowl sixty one. Well,

1853
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 2: of course you just saw them, or you say a

1854
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 2: repeat of Seattle because of what they did, And then

1855
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 2: maybe you'd say I like Denver with a healthy BONNICKX. Okay,

1856
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,839
Speaker 2: if that's your pick, that's fine, that's fine. But let's

1857
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 2: let's see where people are now that we are removed

1858
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty five NFL season. The Seahawks are

1859
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 2: your Super Bowl champs. Maybe you think they can do

1860
01:26:59,920 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 2: it again.

1861
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 13: Carrie Rhodes, who do you like next year? In the

1862
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 13: National Football League.

1863
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 4: Well, I got to be right one of these years

1864
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 4: with this, with these, with these two picks dance, I'm

1865
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 4: gonna probably stay status quo. And I think you would

1866
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 4: probably know who I'm gonna picky by saying that, listen,

1867
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 4: you only have to pick one.

1868
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 13: And if you only had to pick one, he is

1869
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 13: gonna say, I guarantee it. He is going to do

1870
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 13: you want me to tell Wry's gonna say. I liked

1871
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:25,719
Speaker 13: the Rams.

1872
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 2: I like the Rams and Matthew Stafford and then playing

1873
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 2: at home in a Super Bowl again, it's a great

1874
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:33,600
Speaker 2: way for his career.

1875
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 3: To go on out.

1876
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 2: They were so close against the Seahawks. I like the

1877
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 2: Ram there you go, you got it.

1878
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 3: I knew it. I knew it. I mean, they gotta

1879
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 3: do it. Do it one of these years.

1880
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 2: They did it five years ago. That's four years ago.

1881
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 2: Do it again, do it again? So close this time around? Man,

1882
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 2: it's crazy too, Dan, you talked about it.

1883
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 4: We and we talk about it doing our show on

1884
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 4: Sundays throughout the season End Zone Radio. Like they think

1885
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 4: that the games don't matter sometimes and they think some

1886
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 4: situations don't matter and you can make up for it

1887
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 4: later down in the season. That two point conversion that

1888
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 4: Seattle got that gave them that win, flipped everything out

1889
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 4: of the Rams one hundred and then to have an

1890
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 4: epic classic game in the NFC Championship.

1891
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 3: With the Rams at home sealed their fate.

1892
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,640
Speaker 2: It absolutely did. It changed everything. Zach Charbonnay with the

1893
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 2: heads up play of twenty twenty five. Manzi, is there

1894
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,799
Speaker 2: a team that you're looking at? I know you're following

1895
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. It is going down to the wire.

1896
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Becau Kawhi Leonard has twenty three points, no Joe

1897
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 6: in one quarter. In one quarter, it's not even Yeah,

1898
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 6: eleven minutes into where he's got twenty three points. But

1899
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 6: Team World has to win by three. So that point

1900
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 6: differential you were talking about, the Kawhi Leonard is on fire.

1901
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 6: Give me the Chargers, all right, give me the Chargers.

1902
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 6: There's no reason for me to think that they can't

1903
01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 6: actually put something together for next year. No injuries always happened,

1904
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 6: but there's no reason for me to feel like they

1905
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 6: can't actually put something together. They were so close with

1906
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 6: the injuries to pulling off the upset in the playoffs.

1907
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 6: So give me the Chargers. I also feel like, we

1908
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,759
Speaker 6: would be stupid to not mention the Ravens. Of course,

1909
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,640
Speaker 6: we'd be stupid to not even just put them out there.

1910
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 2: That's an easy one, stupid to not honestly, new head coach.

1911
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 2: I have no idea on how it's.

1912
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 3: Going to work.

1913
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 6: That fair But because he came from the Chargers, I

1914
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 6: have you know that. You know what I'm saying.

1915
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't blame you.

1916
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 2: You're in lockstep with Ian Roddy executive producer again, if

1917
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:31,839
Speaker 2: I want your flex?

1918
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 3: He liked the Chargers podcast.

1919
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 6: Yes, I like the Chargers.

1920
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 2: The first executive producer If I Want your Flex was

1921
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Lee de Lap Yes, yes, it is a who's who

1922
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 2: of those who have been in the executive producer chairs. Lee,

1923
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:48,640
Speaker 2: Who do you like in twenty twenty six in the

1924
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 2: National Football League?

1925
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 5: Who do I like? Versus who will I? Actually, they

1926
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 5: can put on the paper that is laminated here in

1927
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:57,679
Speaker 5: the studio. I've always put the doors.

1928
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 3: We won't hold you to it.

1929
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, good, good, good, because I will change my mind.

1930
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:03,840
Speaker 5: I've always put Packers in the Ravens, and I am

1931
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 5: still bullish on that. I'm not happy with Jonathan Gannon

1932
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 5: as our new DC, they're in Green Bay. I did

1933
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 5: say that our DC, but uh, my other pick, just

1934
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 5: to be uh to throw one out there. I like

1935
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 5: the Bucks.

1936
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 2: Oh interesting? Would you rather have Jeff Hafley as your

1937
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 2: head coach of Matt Lafleur.

1938
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 5: I have said on the airwaves before that I would

1939
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 5: have liked Jeff Halfley if they got rid of Lafloor.

1940
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:29,719
Speaker 2: I'm happy we kept Lafloor. All Right, we enterrupt Lee's

1941
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 2: microphone time for Manci. Mi did you need the did

1942
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 2: you need to?

1943
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 10: Oh?

1944
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 4: No?

1945
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 6: I think my reaction was based on the game. But

1946
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 6: I like his pick too. I like the Bucks, the Bucks, alright,

1947
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 6: I do like it. Baker Mayfield, yes, exactly. I love

1948
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield, but my reaction was to this game.

1949
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 3: Mary Mac, Mary Mac, who do you like?

1950
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty six, we're not talking about I want

1951
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:54,600
Speaker 2: to be young artists, a.

1952
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:56,799
Speaker 5: Young boy.

1953
01:30:57,360 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 15: I was gonna say Ravens. I just feel like I'm

1954
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,880
Speaker 15: don't know, I don't know. I just came to my

1955
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 15: head like I loves I love it. I want to

1956
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 15: be a Homer and of course the Lions, but I

1957
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 15: feel like we've blew our chance.

1958
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,839
Speaker 3: I think the windows, Yes, I think the windows closed.

1959
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 4: I do it well, really sad because they still got

1960
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 4: all the talented players on offense.

1961
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:17,600
Speaker 3: But it seems that way, doesn't it.

1962
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:21,640
Speaker 15: Yes, Yeah, now two years ago it was Yeah, we

1963
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,600
Speaker 15: went downhill, say prayer.

1964
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 3: Quarter away from the Super Bowl.

1965
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1966
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 2: I didn't save mine for last for any specific reason

1967
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:34,400
Speaker 2: except and mine's not too crazy. I like the Houston Texans.

1968
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 2: It's who I said on the podcast, and maybe I'm

1969
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 2: having some Seahawk withdrawal from it. I think it'd be

1970
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:41,639
Speaker 2: easy for all of us to maybe say Seattle's back

1971
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 2: next year. I think it'll be a tough task for

1972
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 2: them to get back in the road that they would

1973
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 2: have to go through again to make it to the

1974
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 2: super Bowl. But I think with Houston, we focused so

1975
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 2: much on CJ. Stroud instead of focusing what was not

1976
01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 2: there in Houston, and that was a running game. Wood

1977
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 2: he Marks came on later on in the season, but

1978
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 2: this was a team that relied a lot on Joe

1979
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 2: Mixon the year prior. He was unavailable the entire year

1980
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 2: for them. At times they were relying on Nick Chubb.

1981
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 2: If you have a commitment to the running game and

1982
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 2: you allow those young wide receivers that they drafted this

1983
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:20,840
Speaker 2: past year to go along with Nico Collins. I think

1984
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 2: that they could be really, really good. I still believe

1985
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 2: in CJ. Stroud as a player, and so I think

1986
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 2: if you just show up that run game and the

1987
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 2: offensive line is solid, with that defense, I think Houston's

1988
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 2: going to be right there.

1989
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 4: And you didn't even talk about healthy Tank Dale coming

1990
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 4: back as well.

1991
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:39,040
Speaker 3: Hopefully hopefully.

1992
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 4: I hope he comes back and he's able to capture

1993
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:44,960
Speaker 4: some of the stuff that he had before the injury.

1994
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,679
Speaker 4: And yeah, that defense is we talk about the recipe

1995
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:50,000
Speaker 4: of Seattle this year and getting it done. I mean,

1996
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 4: there's no other defense that I would put in front

1997
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 4: of Seattle except for Houston possibly just possibly so they

1998
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 4: had that they have a quarterback that it's capable. Yeah,

1999
01:32:57,960 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 4: I could see that.

2000
01:32:58,520 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 3: You could look.

2001
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 2: At what's Darnold didn't tell CJ. Stroud this is all

2002
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 2: you need to do, this is what you need to do.

2003
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 2: You need to get the football to these guys. There

2004
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 2: seemed to be a rapport with with Dalton Schultz at

2005
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 2: the toime end position. It doesn't have any issue in

2006
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 2: throwing the football there. I think CJ. Stroud could have

2007
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 2: a bright NFL future. I think these last I think

2008
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 2: the last game really put a weird light on him

2009
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 2: for how bad it was and just how poorly he

2010
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 2: played in the game. However, I still think that there's

2011
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 2: a lot there with him, and if they have a

2012
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 2: running game to support him, I think the Texans will

2013
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 2: be right there.

2014
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Texans are.

2015
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 4: They got hot this year defensively and I think offensively

2016
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 4: they did enough to get to the point where I

2017
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 4: thought they were had a Bible option this year to

2018
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 4: get there get there, and they probably do if he

2019
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 4: doesn't have that game right, So you know, they're definitely

2020
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:49,639
Speaker 4: right there on the cusp of getting over that next hurdle.

2021
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 2: I think it would be easy for us to say Seattle.

2022
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 2: I think it'd be easy for us to say the Bears.

2023
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 2: Maybe is it that at you know, for I don't

2024
01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 2: want to say obvious. Denver again was knocking on the door.

2025
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, some interesting choice. Yes, all right there it

2026
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 2: is your first look at the NFL in twenty twenty six.

2027
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:05,719
Speaker 3: He is carry roads.

2028
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Beyer. So what ended up happening in the

2029
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 2: All Star Game? The three pointer at the end wins

2030
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 2: it for the US team, So the World team is done.

2031
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 2: So that's what we've got Kawhi Leonard at thirty one

2032
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,599
Speaker 2: points in that quarter for the old guys. The old

2033
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,799
Speaker 2: guys end up getting the win. I think they're the Stripes.

2034
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:27,720
Speaker 2: I think that's who they are to Stripes, right, yep,

2035
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 2: So they end up getting the victory. All right, So

2036
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 2: one more quarter to go in the All Star Game.

2037
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 2: We got a lot to do here on Fox Sports Sunday,

2071

Speaker 2: Let's go Dan. By the way, is we now hit

2072
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 2: the the off season of the NFL. Any of you

2073
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 2: guys ever want to be in the hot seat? You

2074
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 2: know we could release some of the pressure. Anybody, anybody, anybody.

2075
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:19,960
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll do it for Carrie, but no, I

2076
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 6: don't want to be a see, but I'll do it

2077
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 6: for Carry.

2078
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 3: See we got one, we got one, we got one.

2079
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:26,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not here every week, but I'll be here.

2080
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 3: I'll jump in.

2081
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:30,640
Speaker 2: We'll check your schedule, we'll see see if it if

2082
01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 2: it works. But right now you are in the hot sea.

2083
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 2: Let's do it over under Today is seven and a half.

2084
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:40,799
Speaker 2: Easy on you. I think some of these are easy,

2085
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,639
Speaker 2: but just not the first one. You have three lifelines

2086
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 2: and Mary mac lead to lap in Monte Belano. So

2087
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 2: if you're hearing this game for the first time, I

2088
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,680
Speaker 2: give Carry a question. Doesn't have to give me all

2089
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 2: of the correct answers, but his goal is to get

2090
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 2: a perfect score of ten. As we play easy as one, two, three, four,

2091
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,880
Speaker 2: Carry Roads name one of two you ready for this?

2092
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 10: Name?

2093
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:06,759
Speaker 2: One of two Western Conference franchises to never have hosted

2094
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:11,639
Speaker 2: an NBA All Star Game in their entire franchise history.

2095
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 2: Now that includes previous locations. So if a team I

2096
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 2: said Western Conference here, you know, if there was a

2097
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just trying. The Knicks played in Maine

2098
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 2: and they moved to New York, but they hosted an

2099
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,680
Speaker 2: All Star Game in Maine that would have counted as

2100
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 2: a Knicks All Star Game. Western Conference franchises, too, have

2101
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,759
Speaker 2: never hosted an NBA All Star Game in their entire

2102
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 2: franchise history.

2103
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 3: Name one of two.

2104
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 4: Say that's so tricky because I would say, okay, see,

2105
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 4: but that was in Seattle, so I'm sure like that's

2106
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 4: what you mean?

2107
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 3: Good as correct?

2108
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 13: Right?

2109
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Charlotte New Orleans that they've had one there and

2110
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:59,200
Speaker 4: again Western Conferences, man, Memphis.

2111
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 6: Maybe I was thinking.

2112
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 4: Memphis and you said one.

2113
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:06,679
Speaker 3: I would say Memphis in my head right now.

2114
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 6: But the Kings, I just can't. I don't know why,

2115
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 6: but I but I think I like Memphis better. But

2116
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 6: the Kings was the other.

2117
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:17,639
Speaker 5: I was thinking Portland.

2118
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 4: You're thinking, but Portland, I think I would think they have.

2119
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 4: I would think they have.

2120
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:26,720
Speaker 6: I don't know. Portland sounds like they would. I don't

2121
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 6: know why.

2122
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,679
Speaker 3: Portland, Memphis. Where do you want to go? I'm gonna

2123
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 3: go Memphis. I'm gonna go with myself. I think it's

2124
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:37,559
Speaker 3: the toughest question with God. Show me Memphis. Yeah, it's

2125
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 3: the Memphis show Boats. How about that?

2126
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 2: Obviously in Vancouver prior to non host the game there

2127
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 2: and if not in Memphis. The other correct answer, guys,

2128
01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 2: It's never been an All Star Game in Portland.

2129
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

2130
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 2: Kudos on the Sonics hit with the Thunder because the

2131
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 2: Thunder have never hosted an All Star Game, but the

2132
01:38:56,479 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 2: franchise did with the Sonics. And kudos to Sacramento way

2133
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 2: back when when they were the Rochester Royals and the

2134
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Royals, that franchise hosted games. But from move to move,

2135
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,120
Speaker 2: to move to Kansas City to Sacramento, there is an

2136
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 2: All Star Game history. There just hasn't been one in Sacramento.

2137
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, not as crazy.

2138
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 16: We're all a.

2139
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 3: Good job guys.

2140
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 2: By the way, Portland and Efforts are the only two

2141
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 2: NBA franchises to make it easier. I said Western Conference,

2142
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 2: so you could just not even think about the East.

2143
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,839
Speaker 2: But they're the only two franchises who have never hosted

2144
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:31,160

2312
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:25,560
Speaker 4: of that somewhere.

2313
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:27,240
Speaker 6: You may have, but I and.

Speaker 3: We only need four.

2315
01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:31,280
Speaker 15: I'm not gonna lie like you want to say China.

2316
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 6: But I don't think that's it. I don't think that's it.

2317
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 4: I think in countries now, I think Finland's I think

2318
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 4: Finland's up there.

2319
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,000
Speaker 3: That would be my only guest. So I'm in Canada

2320
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 3: and there.

2321
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:44,640
Speaker 6: I don't know about Italy, and I don't know if

2322
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:46,679
Speaker 6: that's just because it's the host country. I have seen

2323
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 6: some medals, but I feel like I've seen Italy, like

2324
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 6: you know, when I they.

2325
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:52,760

2326
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 6: Sure, sure I get, but.

2327
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 5: Maybe are they I'd go with Italy and Italy all right?

2328
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 4: So what you said, you guys in Norway, USA, Germany,

2329
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,879
Speaker 4: Italy or it's Finland there anywhere.

2330
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 5: I like your guess of.

2331
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,000

01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 3: All right, right, show me Norway. There we go.

2338
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 2: You know, twenty six medals, won the most goals of

2339
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 2: any country with twelve.

2340
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 3: Norway is on top.

Speaker 2: show me Germany fifteen year, Mac tied for fifth, which

2344
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 2: is the reason why we went with six and to

2345
01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:53,799
Speaker 2: finish with nine.

2346
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 3: One off of a perfect game?

2347
01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:57,720
Speaker 10: Is it?

2348
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 2: Finland? Italy, Italy second, twenty two medals?

2349
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 13: Oh my goodness, guys, Japan tied with the United States.

2350
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:09,360
Speaker 3: They have seventeen.

2351
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:17,480
Speaker 6: I was far.

2352
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:22,360
Speaker 3: That wasn't far. I am not touching that at all.

2353
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 3: France fifteen wow? France, yes? And Canada wow? Is tenth? Okay?

01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 2: so I don't confuse you, guys. It was Norway, Italy,

2356
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:44,679
Speaker 2: United States, Japan, France, Germany. Those were the six answers. Yeah,

2357
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:48,640
Speaker 2: those those were the six. Finland, by the Way for

2358
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:49,679
Speaker 2: three medals.

2359
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,440
Speaker 6: Medals all brought.

2360
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 3: The guys. I didn't know at all.

2361
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 2: Hey, of the three Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Finland,

2362
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 2: they were third of those three with their three.

2363
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 13: Sweden wouldn't have been a bad guest. Sweden has nine

2364
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:13,920
Speaker 13: out they got a bronze. Then the actually they have

2365
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:17,640
Speaker 13: eleven medals, tied for eighth. Austria, if we would have

2366
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:21,320
Speaker 13: done this yesterday, was actually tied, but France moved into

2367
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:23,040
Speaker 13: the to the medal count here.

2368
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 3: So good job, good use of the lifeline about points

2369
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:28,800
Speaker 3: eight point points. Today we did it.

2370
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:31,719
Speaker 2: He is Carrie Rhodes, that's Mary mac lead to lap

2371
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 2: and Moncey Belanos. Let's go to Manzi for the latest

2372
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 2: of what's happening in the All Star Game and so

2373
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:36,599
Speaker 2: much more.

2374
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 3: What is going on?

2375
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 6: All right? So this All Star Game with the new format,

2376
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:44,480
Speaker 6: three teams playing three games of twelve minutes each. The

2377
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 6: ones that win the most ended up in the championship.

2378
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 6: So we have Team Stars and Team Stripes right now.

2379
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 6: This is the NBA All Star Championship. And let's see

2380
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 6: Team Stripes is shooting zero percent from the field, so

2381
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 6: they have one free throw made. Team Stars is shooting

2382
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 6: sixty three percent from the field. So the Stars right

2383
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:03,960
Speaker 6: now are up on the Stripes twelve to one with

2384
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:07,719
Speaker 6: about nine minutes to go. And obviously there's money involved here.

2385
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 6: They all are gonna get money, but if you win,

2386
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 6: you get the most money. But Kawhi Leonard in this one, no,

2387
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:14,560
Speaker 6: he had thirty one points in the last game. With

2388
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 6: last game, in the last twelve minutes, he again Team

2389
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:20,040
Speaker 6: Strips has made zero shots. They have one free throw

2390
01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 6: and that is it. But there's nine minutes to go. Also,

2391
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:26,559
Speaker 6: out of the All Star festivities, apparently Steph Curry I

2392
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 6: missed it live, but he told NBC that he's going

2393
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:31,479
Speaker 6: to be back for the three point Shooting Contest next year.

2394
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:33,600
Speaker 6: So he already said that, and that he's going to

2395
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 6: try and bring Kalay Thompson with him. So I hope

2396
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:39,400
Speaker 6: it's true. Unlike when we heard Jahn Morant say he

2397
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 6: was going to do the slam Dunk contest and then

2398
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 6: he never did it. So I anticipate this probably to

2399
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 6: be true. But that's what he told NBC. Also, there's

2400
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 6: a video of him. He was talking to the guys

2401
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:51,639
Speaker 6: at NBC like the set, and he shot from the set.

2402
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 6: It took him four of them, but he made the

2403
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 6: fourth one, which is still impressive, like only Steph Curry

2404
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 6: could do something like that. At the Daytona five hundred,

2405
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:01,760
Speaker 6: it was a wild ende, but Tyler Reddick won the

2406
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:05,240
Speaker 6: Daytona five hundred. Colin Morricawa took down the Pebble Beach

2407
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 6: pro am. He ended twenty two under part. Overall, he's

2408
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:10,720
Speaker 6: had a struggle right the last couple of years. Dan

2409
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:12,800
Speaker 6: has in one since twenty twenty three. I think he's

2410
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 6: a new time dad. So congratulations to Colin Morikawa. At

2411
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 6: the Winter Olympics, Men's US hockey did play today and

2412
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 6: they took down Germany five to one. A little NFL

2413
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:25,760
Speaker 6: news for you. The Seahawks are hiring forty nine Ers

2414
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 6: tight ends coach Brian Fleury. Did I say that right

2415
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 6: to be their defensive coordinator. He's going to replace Clint Qubiak.

2416
01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 6: How do we feel about that? Dan? Think about it?

2417
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:35,679
Speaker 6: Let us know. And the Rams are set to hire

2418
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 6: Robert Wright as a defensive assistant. Chargers are hiring former

2419
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 6: Steelers outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin, and the Seahawks are

2420
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 6: supposed to hire no the Raiders are set to hire

2421
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:50,000
Speaker 6: Seahawks quarterbacks coach Andrew Jennico as their new offensive coordinator,

2422
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,759
Speaker 6: So all of these coordinator's positions are filling up before

2423
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:55,759
Speaker 6: our eyes. Guys back to you.

2424
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 2: You know, the Seahawks would lose guys with k going

2425
01:52:58,120 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 2: to the Raiders. Tomansi's question, and honestly, it's it's not

2426
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 2: that I care, don't care who the Seahawks offensive coordinator

2427
01:53:06,280 --> 01:53:08,240
Speaker 2: or I just I'm not going to worry about it.

2428
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:09,639
Speaker 3: A week after they won the Super Bowl.

2429
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm giving myself, Like that's smart, that's sounds healthy. Yes,

2430
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 2: three months of just pure enjoyment. In fact, I've thought

2431
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 2: about giving myself three years. I think it would be

2432
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:21,400
Speaker 2: a lot easier and a lot less stressful in life,

2433
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 2: just to be like, all right, three year window. They

2434
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:25,680
Speaker 2: won one, they're won Super Bowl sixty, just do that.

2435
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:28,639
Speaker 2: But that can never happen. Yeah, that happens all the time.

2436
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 4: You have some success, guys are going to leave, so

2437
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,799
Speaker 4: you got to come back and refuel and get guys

2438
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:35,600
Speaker 4: that are kind of on the same page with what

2439
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 4: you want to do and what you want to be

2440
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 4: at the team moving forward.

2441
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 2: Now, when we thought that the all Star Game format

2442
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 2: has worked out. As you heard MONSI say, We've got

2443
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:46,439
Speaker 2: to blow up happening so far, but there is still

2444
01:53:46,479 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 2: time left. Maybe the NBA did stumble upon something. He

2452
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 2: So you have the All Star Game wrapping up. I

2453
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:21,559
Speaker 2: would assume next year the All Star Game will be

2454
01:54:22,200 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 2: at night. I would I would think you would want

2455
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:27,400
Speaker 2: to put it in prime time. But this is I

2456
01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:31,040
Speaker 2: knew that when this deal happened, we had and listen

2457
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,520
Speaker 2: for those on the East Coast, it's almost eight o'clock,

2458
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 2: so it is kind of night, so there is a

2459
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:39,640
Speaker 2: primetime element for us still daylight out here on the

2460
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:41,960
Speaker 2: West Coast where the game is being played, and so

2461
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,560
Speaker 2: it's a unique feel. But I do remember on CBS

2462
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:46,680
Speaker 2: back in the days when the All Star Game was

2463
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:50,720
Speaker 2: on on Sunday, afternoon and you would watch Isaiah Thomas

2464
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:53,840
Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan take the court, but different feel with this.

2465
01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 2: I think the ratings will be good because it's on

2466
01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 2: NBC as opposed to not just being on TNT in

2467
01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 2: this afternoon spot. And it feels like it's been competitive

2468
01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:07,320
Speaker 2: with the first three quarters. Now maybe in this championship game,

2469
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:10,840
Speaker 2: when you have one team kind of boat racing the

2470
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:13,960
Speaker 2: other it's twenty nine to nine, Not that the score matters,

2471
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 2: but this is where it wouldn't be competitive. But I

2472
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:17,720
Speaker 2: would think from what I've seen in the way that

2473
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 2: Mazi's responded and what we've watched throughout the game and

2474
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 2: the score is that this has been a win for

2475
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 2: the NBA.

2476
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:25,320
Speaker 4: It seems like it. It seems like it. I think

2477
01:55:25,680 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 4: I don't even know how the team's how they played it.

2478
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:31,600
Speaker 4: I don't know the process of which one play which.

2479
01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 4: But the fact that this team is going to be

2480
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,240
Speaker 4: about twenty in his last one, was it a long

2481
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:37,960
Speaker 4: delay for them to get back out there, Like I

2482
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:39,640
Speaker 4: don't know if that's the case, that could be a

2483
01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 4: problem as well, Like one team it's cool down and

2484
01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:43,600
Speaker 4: the other one's still okay.

2485
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 2: The team that's losing right now just played the World team,

2486
01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 2: so there wasn't much of an excuse for them. But

2487
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 2: it's also honestly, it's it's the makeup of the older guys,

2488
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 2: so they may have wanted to play their their games

2489
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 2: that they played their two quarters and are like, you

2490
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 2: know what, three quarters? All right, not so much, let's

2491
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:04,560
Speaker 2: put it on ice. I think that would be the

2492
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 2: maybe the only change. I think you will probably see

2493
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 2: a similar format next year because I think that this

2494
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 2: will be a success. And I guess as I look

2495
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 2: at All Star Weekend and we talked about yesterday, with

2496
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:17,760
Speaker 2: just the competitions also being on in the afternoon, something

2497
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:19,840
Speaker 2: that you're used to Saturday and out at the All

2498
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 2: Star Game, it may be well and good for the

2499
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:26,120
Speaker 2: NFL to just punt on the Pro Bowl, and it

2500
01:56:26,160 --> 01:56:28,160
Speaker 2: may be well and good for the NBA to just

2501
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:30,920
Speaker 2: punt on All Star Weekend and not have it. But

2502
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:33,600
Speaker 2: the networks find value in it. They have it as

2503
01:56:33,640 --> 01:56:38,680
Speaker 2: part of their TV packages. Fans are good to buy tickets,

2504
01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 2: I know, maybe into a dome, and the price that

2505
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 2: Monty was talking about earlier for the cost of this

2506
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:47,120
Speaker 2: maybe isn't necessarily fan friendly. But I feel if there's

2507
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:49,200
Speaker 2: a way that they feel that they can get value

2508
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:51,280
Speaker 2: and make a buck out of it. It's just not

2509
01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:52,120
Speaker 2: going to go away.

2510
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 4: Dan, would you be excited excuse me like I would be.

2511
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:58,400
Speaker 4: The shooting star thing was like I said, great, you

2512
01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 4: get to bring a legend back. What about the three

2513
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:02,680
Speaker 4: point contests and you bring back Larry Bird for one,

2514
01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 4: or you bring Reggie Miller for one?

2515
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 2: Just one, just like one, Just like I would love

2516
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 2: to see the four Just if you brought back Glarry

2517
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,320
Speaker 2: Bird and Reggie Miller and took two other guys and

2518
01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 2: put them up against them. Yeah, just to see, just

2519
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:20,160
Speaker 2: have three racks of basketballs out there and see what

2520
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 2: they could do, not all five. Maybe have a moving

2521
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 2: walkway from the corner to the top of the key

2522
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 2: where they can shoot the straight on three and could

2523
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:32,440
Speaker 2: help on some of the knees. People may not remember,

2524
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 2: but before there was the Rising Stars game, there used

2525
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:38,880
Speaker 2: to be an old timers game. Did you know that

2526
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 2: there used to be an old timers game that they

2527
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 2: would play and it would be former players and you

2528
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:47,840
Speaker 2: would get guys in their forties wearing tank tops and

2529
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,320
Speaker 2: suiting up. Now it's just injury after injury and guys

2530
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 2: didn't really care, so.

2531
01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:53,120
Speaker 3: They did away with it.

2532
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 2: But there was a time that there was an NBA

2533
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 2: Ald Timer's Old Timers All Star Game that they would play,

2534
01:57:59,480 --> 01:58:02,840
Speaker 2: and they just they stopped. I'm I'm almost positive they

2535
01:58:02,880 --> 01:58:05,560
Speaker 2: did it in nineteen eighty eight. That's such a memorable

2536
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 2: All Star weekend. It was in Chicago. Jordan b Dominique

2537
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 2: and Bird won it that year and I'm pretty sure

2538
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 2: that they had the Yeah holding up the one and

2539
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:18,240
Speaker 2: that was the last of the Bird in the warm

2540
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:21,280
Speaker 2: up jacket. But I'm almost positive they had the Old

2541
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 2: Timers game. I think soon after that it kind of

2542
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:26,760
Speaker 2: ended up going by the wayside. They didn't do it anymore,

2543
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:28,360
Speaker 2: but there was a time where they'd put these old

2544
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 2: guys out there.

2545
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, that game would be null and void. You don't

2546
01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:34,959
Speaker 13: want to play it that one. It's our eighth Achilles

2547
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:37,640
Speaker 13: tear of the game right now. And so they called

2548
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:39,640
Speaker 13: it quits. But they replaced it with the Rising Stars,

2549
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 13: which was, i think, on premise, a good idea. So

2550
01:58:43,080 --> 01:58:45,640
Speaker 13: we started the show talking about where the NBA is

2551
01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:47,800
Speaker 13: and if you missed it, I encourage you to go

2552
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 13: check out the podcast at Fox Sports radio dot com

2553
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:52,880
Speaker 13: because it's not a rain on the NBA parade, but

2554
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 13: it also wasn't let's look at this through rose colored

2555
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 13: glasses when it comes to the NBA. I feel that

2556
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 13: the people that don't like the NBA took this week

2557
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 13: after the football season to just say, yeah, it doesn't

2558
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:06,160
Speaker 13: have my interest, it's no good. Well, TV ratings would

2559
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 13: tell you otherwise that they've been up over previous seasons.

2560
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:12,879
Speaker 13: But is everything good? And the biggest problem isn't tanking

2561
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 13: to your point, you feel, it's the way that this

2562
01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:16,160
Speaker 13: game is being played right now.

2563
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:17,960
Speaker 3: Yes, you got to compete.

2564
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:21,600
Speaker 4: That was the NBA that you know, our fathers before

2565
01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 4: I saw, we saw when we were younger. Dan and

2566
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:27,440
Speaker 4: I appreciated the competition and bringing that back and trying

2567
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:30,360
Speaker 4: to instill that throughout the players is a big deal.

2568
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 3: That's the biggest problem in my opinion.

2569
01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:35,360
Speaker 2: I will say this, when you look at where the

2570
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 2: NBA is, I'm curious to see how things go down

2571
01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 2: the stretch. I do you think guys like Lebron and

2572
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:44,280
Speaker 2: Steph take a lot of air out of it. But

2573
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:47,760
Speaker 2: if you have the series that I heard so many

2574
01:59:47,840 --> 01:59:51,360
Speaker 2: people talk about in trying to even those who are

2575
01:59:51,440 --> 01:59:55,040
Speaker 2: against the NBA say, well, if you give me Spurs thunder,

2576
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:57,920
Speaker 2: I'll take that. I think that's a good sign for

2577
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:01,000
Speaker 2: the NBA. And I think once Lebron ends up moving on,

2578
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,480
Speaker 2: it will allow other stars to have more room to shine.

2579
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 2: But still those veteran stars, and I specifically, I don't

2580
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:09,400
Speaker 2: think it's as much Kevin Durant anymore, but I think

2581
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 2: it is Steph Curry and Lebron to take up a

2582
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:15,360
Speaker 2: lot of air in the room. Yes, and so once

2583
02:00:15,680 --> 02:00:17,960
Speaker 2: the runway is cleared of those stars, I think other

2584
02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:20,320
Speaker 2: opportunities will will come forward.

2585
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:20,640
Speaker 3: Player.

2586
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we got guys waiting in the battles box

2587
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 4: that I think can propel the game a little bit

2588
02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 4: more as well.

2589
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:28,400
Speaker 2: And it might not be immediate because I think that

2590
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 2: there was a little bit of a drop off when

2591
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 2: we had the likes of the Brady Breeze, Manning Rivers,

2592
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:36,080
Speaker 2: Roethlisberger's they all left. But now we're like, you know,

2593
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:40,400
Speaker 2: Mahomes and Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and these great quarterbacks.

2594
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:43,720
Speaker 2: It eventually will will gain some steam. It looks like

2595
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 2: the Stars, that's the young American team's about to grab

2596
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:49,400
Speaker 2: victory over the Stripes. At twenty point edge with about

2597
02:00:49,400 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 2: a minute twenty two to go to wrap up All

2598
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Star weekend. So we had Kala Morakawa win at Pebble Beach,

2599
02:00:55,040 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 2: the Stars are about to win at the All Star Game,

2600
02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 2: and Tyler Redick wins the Daytona five hundred.

2601
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:00,880
Speaker 3: You know what that means.

2602
02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:05,200
Speaker 2: More football talk next week for Kerry Rhoades, Mante Milanios
