00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Karen and Gary Jordan, I went to college with them.

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: In fact, they were at Southern Connecticut when they dedicated

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: to press box. I've been We've been friends, Andy for

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: forty years, you know. And the thing that's strange or

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: weird or different is that I knew Karen and individually,

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: and I knew Gary separately, and then they got together

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: like very seldom. You're usually friends with one or the other,

34
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and you become friends with

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: their partner or their you know, they've been married for

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: a long time. But I know them separately, and we

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: all went to a party they met, and that's and

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: then they wound up going to college, graduating and all that.

39
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: And stuff like that.

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: But they bought me this Eddie Bauer ten vess puffy vesque,

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: not too big though, you know, for California, Andy beautiful.

Speaker 4: Yeah, I just couldn't believe you actually just got it.

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: That's how you know it meant something.

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Put it on immediately, I'm like, oh, this is too

52

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: a gift that you really like, you normally don't let

00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: it sit around. You're like, oh, no, I'm using it.

Speaker 4: fun knives that people use in the outdoors world. They're

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: knife and they've used it on these really cool flat rocks.

61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: My sister knew I talked about that like a long

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 4: time ago, so she got it for me. Ainsley went outside,

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: set up my juicing machine and use it the entire time.

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: And that and that's another one.

65
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,519

Speaker 1: that coming up.

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: Later on in the hour, but first we want to.

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: Go to college me for one second, because this is

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 5: on my mind now and I'm gonna figure out because

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: all those things I lose.

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: Trade the Tenton's thought.

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: You were talking about the situation with Charles Barkley kind

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: of calling the NBA guys the NFL got pigs, right, right?

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: I love Why is Charles Barkley the only guy with

79
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 5: a pair of hanging downs to attack the NFL. Why

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: aren't the other owners saying anything? Why aren't players saying it?

81
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 5: I don't get why is the only Charles I love him.

82
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: I love Charles Barkley because he fears no one. He

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: fears no one.

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: And I like, here's how relevant and powerful that Charles

85
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Barkley is.

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: And I've known him.

87
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I covered him, you know, Andy, back in the days

88
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: when I was an NBA reporter, back in the Daily

89
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: News in New York back in the eighties. Okay, so

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: I've been around Charles for a long time now. I

91
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: didn't cover him every day, but I covered the NBA

92
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: during enough time. And my point is this, when you know,

93
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: like the players don't like Charles, that's all you need

94
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: to know, because at first they used to get on us. Andy, Oh, well,

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: you guys didn't play. You don't know whatever, Your opinion

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Then when Charles came out and doing his thing,

97
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: they hate him, you know what I mean.

98
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: So basically they just don't want to be criticized. But

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: Charles doesn't care.

100
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: And the idea that the players don't like Charles Barkley

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: tells you all you need to know how good, strong

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: and powerful he is.

103
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go through the owner's Then why don't the

104
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: owners say anything? I don't get it.

105
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: They're not gonna say anything. What are you gonna say?

106
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: But I just I hear them. I mean, the NFL

107
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: is all over the place, and all they.

108
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Keep doing is they want they would want to be

109
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: on and people don't understand this. The only reason they're

110
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: doing it is if they lump all the games together

111
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday.

112
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: There's only but so much money you.

113
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Get every time you break a game off and make

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: it a national game. Andy, they gotta pay a ton

115
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: of money. That's why. That's the only reason. That's why

116
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: they have Thursday Night Football, That's why they on Netflix

117
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: and all these other plays because they pay premium to

118
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: be the only game. They don't care about CBS, right

119
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: or Fox. They don't because those are regional games. Those

120
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: are regional. You're only seeing them in particular areas. These

121
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: are national games, and that's what they want. But anyway,

122
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: let's go here, Shay, college basketball, Andy, this is up

123
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: your alley. You know, Cincinnati is a great college basketball town.

124
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 3: Used to be. Okay, used to be. But this this

125
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: story is interesting.

126
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people I've seen on social media, they

127
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: got their panties in a bunch ovid this, But Jay

128
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: tell us what's going on?

129
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 6: So yeah, this is going over to Baylor. Former NBA

130
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 6: draft pick James Nausey is reported to have joined the

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 6: Bears after playing in Europe for a little bit. Former

132
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 6: Detroit Pistons second round pick, he he he was picked

133
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: at thirty one and he'll be playing the second half

134
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 6: of the season with the Bears. He's actually granted four

135
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 6: years of eligibility by the NCAA and the Nigerian twenty

136
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 6: one year old big man was selected thirty first over

137
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 6: on the twenty twenty three NBA draft and.

138
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: His rights were moved to Charlotte.

139
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 6: Despite being drafted, he never signed a standard NBA contract,

140
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 6: but in twenty twenty four, his rights were moved once again,

141
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 6: this time to the New York Knicks as part of

142
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 6: the three team Karling Anthony Towns trade. Now he's just

143
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 6: kind of just been stagnant, and now he will be

144
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 6: playing for the Baylor Bears in the second half of

145
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 6: the season.

146
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: What do you guys think?

147
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 6: Is this all right? Did the NCAA do the right

148
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 6: thing for him? Is this something that you could see

149
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 6: happening a lot more?

150
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Rob Let me know, I'm gonna say this, Andy, I

151
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: have no issue with it. The NCAA was so bad, Andy,

152
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: you remember this in the old days, if you even

153
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: put your name in to the NBA draft, you remember

154
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: your eligibility was stripped from you, even if you didn't

155
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: get drafted, even if you didn't sign with an agents

156
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: exactly how and then guys wouldn't get picked or whatever.

157
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: They wouldn't let him come back to school. This kid

158
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: has not played one minute of NBA basketball. He either

159
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't, so why wouldn't he be able to come

160
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: back and go back to college and finish and play

161
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: college basketball. I think this is straight and right, and

162
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: the NCAA gets so many things wrong.

163
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: Andy. I think They're right on this.

164
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: If that kid had played one minute for the Pistons

165
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: or the Knicks or Charlotte or whoever he was with, then

166
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: obviously he can't go and.

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: Play college I'll play college basketball.

168
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: Look at all these older players now playing college football

169
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: got eligibility.

170
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: They're twenty eight years old, twenty six years old, right,

171
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: you know, it's an interesting situation. I'll tell you why.

172
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 5: Because the fact that he'd never played, he never sun

173
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: a contract with the NBA says he never became a

174
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: court professional. However, less summery played in the summer League

175
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 5: for the Knicks, whatever that means. But obviously he had

176
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: to get paid, so he was a coote professional. The

177
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: problem being, and you're gonna go back in time, if

178
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 5: this was fifteen twenty years ago, he wouldn't be able

179
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 5: to play in college. The reason why he can play,

180
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: more than any other reason, not because he didn't sign

181
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 5: a contract. Because right now the NCAA is afraid of lawsuits.

182
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: Everybody's sueing everybody else. That's the only reason he's gonna

183
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 5: be able to play for Baylor. I gotta believe that.

184
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that if he hasn't played, when you

185
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: look up when you look up the NBA and people

186
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: who have played in the league, his name's not on

187
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: the list.

188
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: He didn't play a real game, Andy.

189
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: Well, does summer league? Does that count?

190
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: No? No, no, it doesn't count. It doesn't. He didn't get paid.

191
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what the standard is or what the

192
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: because he never signed a contract, so I don't know

193
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: exactly if he was really considered a professional athlete. There's

194
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: a loophole because he didn't sign an NBA contract or

195
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: playing a game. I think he still has his status.

196
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with this.

197
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 5: I know a lot of people I don't really care,

198
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: and I'll be honest you, I have more of a

199
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: problem of when the NBA was signing kids out of

200
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 5: high school that I.

201
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: Think is worse. I really do. But Andy, I'll disagree

202
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: with you, and I'm gonna tell you why.

203
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: No other place on earth would you punish a prodigy.

204
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: If you had a fourteen year old kid who was

205
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: a concert pianist and she could play in Carnegie Hall,

206
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: not one person would stand in her way and say,

207
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: what are.

208
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: You doing here? But that's you. I agree. Let me

209
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: give you another one on the call.

210
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: Okay, kids graduate college, Andy at fifteen, sixteen years old,

211
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: because you're brilliant. You don't say you got to stay

212
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: in middle school or whatever because you're fourteen.

213
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: You're a genius, you've done all the work. You don't

214
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: stay there. You know what you're doing.

215
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: You graduate college at fifteen, Go look it up. There's

216
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: plenty of people. Nobody stops a prodigy. And that's my point.

217
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: If you're a prodigy Lebron James or somebody, and you're

218
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: able to play even though you're young, you should be

219
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: able to play. Nobody stopped McCauley Coughland. What was his name,

220
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: what's his last name?

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: Cally Cookland Right, McAuley, cochin Culkin.

222
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: Thank you, you're welcome.

223
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: Thank you.

224
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: Please, you're welcome.

225
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: Anybody stop him from going to make home alone? Andy,

226
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: He not an adult. But there's a big difference. Well

227
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: what is it.

228
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: The difference is you're comparing mental prowess against physical ability.

229
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about No.

230
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: You would not take a high school kid and put

231
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: him in the NFL, even if he wasn't prodigy because prodigity,

232
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 5: because he he can't play physically with a twenty five

233
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 5: year old guy, Candy, Andy physically.

234
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: I disagree, and I'm gonna tell you why. First of all,

235
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: it has to be on an individual basis. And I

236
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen some of these twenty nineteen twenty.

237
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: When I met Lebron James in high school, he looked

238
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: like a man to me, and now he was in

239
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: high school. I'll never forget I met him at the

240
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: Palace of Auburn Hills. Behind it was just me, Lebron

241
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: James and world Wide West, nobody else. I was standing

242
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: face to face with him and I could not believe

243
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: he was in high school. Okay, how his size and everything.

244
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: There are exceptions to the rule, most but that's not

245
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the onners of the kids. That's the onus of the team.

246
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: If he's not ready or not physical, then yes, Andy,

247
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: don't draft him.

248
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: All these told tell you why. I remember seeing Dave

249
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 5: Newmark in high school. He went to Lincoln High School

250
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 5: in Brooklyn. He was seven feet tall, and he kind

251
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 5: of fizzled out in the NBA. So so it goes

252
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 5: both ways.

253
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm not saying that that just because you're

254
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying no one should be denied an opportunity to work.

255
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: This is me If someone is willing to pay you.

256
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. If somebody says, I

257
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: know you're sixteen or I know that. Look at all

258
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: the guys who get hurt in the NFL. Those are

259
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: grown men. They still get hurt. It has nothing to

260
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: do with that. Then, So the grown men go and

261
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: they get hurt. You're gonna get hurt in the NFL

262
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: because of the nature of the game. It's part of

263
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: the business exactly. The only reason that they keep the

264
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: kids out is so that the colleges can make money

265
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: off of them, and it has nothing to do with

266
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: their well being. And you don't believe that for one second.

267
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: I still believe it's college freshman, no matter how talented

268
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: he may be.

269
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about talent, but physical. There are guys

270
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: who are unbelievable.

271
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 5: They're on guys you've seen nothing far between the few

272
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 5: and far between.

273
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: That's a prodigy. That's why I said a prodigy. Okay,

274
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: all right, okay, you see.

275
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: What I'm saying. It's got to be a lot. We

276
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: don't see it often, but the NFL.

277
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 5: You cannot go there until you have at least three

278
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 5: years a college, right, Isn't that the rule all that.

279
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: But that's that's the made up rule that they have.

280
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: I mean that right.

281
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean you could go play golf at fourteen, you know,

282
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: it's just all made up. You can go to Minor

283
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: League Baseball and all that. The only thing they did Lincoln.

284
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 5: Has it right is the MSL because they got fourteen

285
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 5: year old kids playing in.

286
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: Major League Soccer. Of course LS.

287
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, right, And there's no reason not to if

288
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: they're talented in that way, all right? Eight seven to

342
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: never was drafted in the NFL NBA, I should say,

343
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: but never played Andy and is going to play for

344
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: bailor they gave him four years of eligibility because he

345
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: did not play in a real NBA game. Are you

346
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: on the side of the NCAA and you agree with

347
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: this I do?

348
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: Or are you against this saying that No, Andy's against it.

349
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm for it because he's a pro.

350
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: It's not about the NBA. He's a pro he played

351
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: in Turkey. He's a pro. Well, the NBA can signed

352
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: play is from Turkey. They're pros, right, he is a pro.

353
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: He got paid to play. Do you remember Andrew Gaye

354
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 5: who played for was that Michigan State? What's cool was

355
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: he with the twenty six year old made all those threes?

356
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 5: Remember that he came from Australia, Andrew Gays look it up.

357
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: I'm just saying he played in Australia. Like they don't

358
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 5: recognize the same as being in an NBA. He was

359
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: twenty six years off.

360
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:57,920

Speaker 9: I want to say, I want to say Christmas belongs

375
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 9: to the NBA. I don't care what the NFL does.

376
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 9: They're trying to go seven days week that they can

377
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 9: because it's so greedy, so they're just going to over

378
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 9: securi the svies. Eventually, I had to say that about that.

379
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: That's what happens. Do you remember Andy, who wants to

380
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: be a millionaire? You remember that that show with Regis?

381
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: It was hot? Yes, and what did the ABC do?

382
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: They put it on three nights a week and killed.

383
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 5: The christ Let's is more. They pitched, but less is more.

384
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: They killed the self all that. Yep, they killed the show.

385
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 9: And this is football. How much can the body take

386
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 9: up Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

387
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: Look at all the injuries, Mark, look at all the

388
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: injuries and still't forget.

389
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna go to eighteen games soon too?

390
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 10: Yeah that too.

391
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 9: They just they want another penny. He's got the so

392
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 9: greedy man. They can't help it any pen they can find.

393
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 9: So I had to say that about those greedy suckers.

394
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 9: And as far as the kid going back, I think

395
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 9: it's time he finally got something right, Andy, I'm sorry.

396
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 9: I hate the NCAA rules. There's been one hundred years

397
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 9: of them taking it better your kids. Yes, don't give

398
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 9: me this professional stuff either. Everything's the professional now they

399
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 9: can't use their name. I don't want to hear that

400
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 9: pro stuff anymore.

401
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, you kind of hit on something there,

402
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: because if you go to college nil and they're getting

403
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: the paycheck, I thincuse you're considered.

404
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: The pro then too.

405
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: There you go right right.

406
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: They're saying they still have amateur status despite money. That's

407
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: why I think they can't keep this kid out. Andy

408
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: they what makes the pro? What makes it pro? Tell

409
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: me what?

410
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: No, you gotta play.

411
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: You gotta play the professional league, I think is the

412
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: only once you get there.

413
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, they have to play. The other thing is that

414
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 9: you know the think about the word code. You'll have

415
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 9: to try that for a while. But look what they've

416
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 9: done now. Then I'll pay the athletes. And that was

417
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 9: the original amateurs. But that those guys get paid yep,

418
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 9: crazy guys get paid now. So I mean we need

419
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 9: to look at this. The stupid rude that you say,

420
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 9: hold it on because they've had these kids for one hundred.

421
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 3: Years using them unbelievable.

422
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 10: I'm thinking of UCAA.

423
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: I am no, I'm with you.

424
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: March thank you, Mark, appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you

425
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: and yours. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

426
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Is to deal with these people? What are they drinking?

427
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't get it, don't worry about it, and you

428
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: don't lost eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Geez,

429
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton, you're on the odd couple of Fox

430
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

431
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 3: What's up, Dick, This is my guy, This is my guy.

432
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: Different dates we're doing, Dick, Mary, Chrisndy.

433
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 10: I just wanted to tell you last week I saw

434
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 10: Joe Burrow looked pretty darn good and they got two

435
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 10: more games that I'm thinking maybe they could end up

436
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 10: seven and ten. But Joe Burrow last week where I talked, played.

437
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: Pretty well touchdowns foot touchdowns against the bad team, and

438
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 5: they're not going to the playoffs. So I think, I

439
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 5: hate to, you know, blow up your bubble, but that's

440
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 5: the way it is.

441
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think the Browns myself, they

442
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 10: need to get Sepharnski out, we get a new coordinator

443
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 10: because they're just losing too many games, too many games. Guys.

444
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Dick and Dayton. We appreciate it.

445
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox if you want

446
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: to jump in uh to me, I think I think

447
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: it's uh. With the way the nil is andy and

448
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: the money, I think it's impossible for them to keep

449
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: this kid out.

450
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 5: They're paying, right, but I still think the NCAA is

451
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 5: afraid of a lawsuit. That's what it's about. They're right,

452
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 5: but I know they're paying people.

453
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: I know that.

454
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: So so that was you're telling me that if a

455
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 5: kid is a sophomore in college getting nil money and

456
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 5: he's good enough skill wise to play in the NBA,

457
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 5: goes to the NBA, plays the NBA, and then.

458
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: Decides like no, no, no, he wasn't playing enough. Could

459
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: you go back?

460
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 5: No? I mean, really, once you sign up this kid,

461
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 5: the kid he signed, he played pro in Turkey, He's

462
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: going back.

463
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: He didn't go to bail it.

464
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: He didn't sign a professional contract in the United States.

465
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: I'm telling the United States. Okay, So the United States then, okay.

466
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: That's the only jurisdiction you have, like right, like I

467
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: would think, I'm telling you look it up, Shay Andrew Gaze.

468
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't know where he played. I wanted.

469
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why I want to say, did he

470
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: play a Seaton Hall of Michigan State. He was a

471
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: three point specialist at Andrew Gaze and he was from Australia.

472
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I want to say he was twenty six years old

473
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: playing college basketball something like that, and I think he

474
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: played you know, maybe you know, Australian basketball. But he

475
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: didn't have any he didn't eat up his college eligibility,

476
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: like there was some loophole if I remember correctly. But anyway, Uh,

477
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: it's so much. We could still get into that, but

478
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about your guy Joe Burrow, who

479
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: doesn't sound happy being in Cincinnati. I don't know what's

480
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: going on with him. And I want to get your

481
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: take on Joe Burrow and the frustrations and just the

482
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: way he sounds. He doesn't sound happy. We'll do that

483
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: much more before let's get you caught up USC. Chris

484
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: is in. He's got your sports update.

485
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 11: All right, guys, We've got the Broncos on the board

486
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 11: against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City, Kansas very soon

487
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 11: three nothing. Denver started with a field goal. This is

488
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 11: the first time now the Chiefs have touched the ball.

489
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 11: Chris Ola Dokun under center for the Chiefs, as Gardner,

490
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 11: Minshew and Patrick Mahomes are both out. Earlier in the NFL,

491
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 11: we saw the Lions go down to the Vikings twenty

492
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 11: three to ten the finals score. This eliminates the Lions

493
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 11: from playoff contention and also clinches a playoff berth.

494
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 3: Can I say the Green Bay Packers, I'm sorry about that. Sorry, Chris,

495
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: It's whatever. This season's a wash. They took you. Guys

496
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: were talking about injuries earlier.

497
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 11: We're not talking enough about how much of a rotating

498
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 11: door the offensive line was. There maybe one starter from

499
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 11: last year on that line here today. It's kind of

500
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 11: a mess across the entire board. They've got a lot

501
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 11: to fix up this offseason. The Cowboys defeated the Commanders

502
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 11: with a thirty to twenty three victory and Tomahawks stakes

503
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 11: to share between Dak Prescott and his wide receiver after

504
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 11: that on hard court, Currently, with four minutes to go

505
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 11: in the first quarter, Houston Rockets with a twenty five

506
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 11: sixteen lead on the Los Angeles Lakers. Earlier, Mavericks were

507
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 11: defeated by the Warriors one twenty six one sixteen, Cooper

508
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 11: Flag with a twenty seven point game, Steph Currey with

509
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 11: twenty three points, and earlier the Knicks power pass. The

510
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 11: Cavaliers won twenty six one twenty four. Some late NFL

511
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 11: injury news, the Ravens have listed Lamar Jackson as doubtful

512
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 11: for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

513
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: Playing video games. Hey, you know what, it doesn't It

514
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: doesn't matter anymore now because.

515
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 5: A video game tournament. He's in a tournament he sports,

516
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 5: he sports.

517
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: Robin Andy backs all right, thank you so much, Chris,

518
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: appreciate it. It is the odd couple on a Christmas night,

519
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: a TV theme song Thursday. Obviously we're playing Christmas music,

520
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: not TV themes. And we appreciate everybody being here on

521
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: this Christmas night. And he always a pleasure to work

522
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: with the legendary broadcast or miss thank Andy Furman. Yes

523
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: you know that, Uh but uh you're perfect to have

524
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: in here to talk about Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

525
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: And just he just doesn't sound Andy. I want to

526
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: read too much into it. You tell me you're there.

527
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: You hear way more of the sound bites and the

528
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: interviews and whatnot. He just doesn't sound happy.

529
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 5: You know why, because he has cut the disease, which

530
00:24:53,520 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 5: is he's been bengalized he's been bengalized. Carson Palmer was bengalized,

531
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: all right, Joe Burrow is a modern day Dan Marino.

532
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: Tasted the Super Bowl once, never tasted it again, and

533
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 5: it was great.

534
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: Put up numbers.

535
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 5: He's a I'd say Dan Marino is the godfather of

536
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: the forward pass. Passed for five thousand yards with the Dolphins,

537
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 5: a Hall of Fame, a great player, and Joe Burrow

538
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 5: is a great player.

539
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: But you got a team. Listen to this.

540
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 5: This year, the Bengals scored thirty four against the Bills

541
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 5: and lost. The Bengals scored forty two against the Bears

542
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: and lost. The Bengals scored thirty eight against the Jets

543
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 5: and lost. That doesn't make any sense. Think about that.

544
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 5: You put up over thirty points and lose to something wrong.

545
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: And his defense is terrible. That defense couldn't win games

546
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 5: if they played twelve on eleven.

547
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 3: All Right.

548
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: I'm not here to get anybody's panties in a bunch,

549
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna.

550
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 3: Ask you this question.

551
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Burrow is partly to blame as well, and

552
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why the way because he went

553
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: and told the ownership to go sign two wide receivers

554
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: and not linemen to protect him. I just like, I

555
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: get you want weapons. As a quarterback, Andy, you gotta

556
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: have people to protect you on that offensive line, Like

557
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: like like what, yes, no.

558
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: I'm with you. You know what I can't have. You

559
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: gotta have both of the receivers both. You're right.

560
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 5: I agree that they got Higgins and Chase and he

561
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 5: kind of pushed for them publicly, and I can't believe

562
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 5: that Mike Brown kind of took that the heart and

563
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 5: followed that. However, I think that they were afraid not

564
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: to do it for fear of fan backlash.

565
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: That's why they were signed, and Burrow was the I

566
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: to push it did.

567
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: You're right, but.

568
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: Don't you go hit to him and say, Joe, Joe,

569
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: I get it. If we do this, we won't have

570
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: money for anybody to protect you or to add defensive

571
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: pieces that we need. I told you about last year

572
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns and two games against uh the Ravens. They

573
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: lost both games. That like, like, I get it. You

574
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: want your receivers, you want your weapons, put up your numbers.

575
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: It's about winning and the sports are a short menu.

576
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I say it a thousand times, wins and losses that's

577
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: the only thing that matters putting up big numbers, having

578
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: these two receivers, you're paying a ton of money.

579
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.

580
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: I think he's partly the blame because he went public, and.

581
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: I agree, And you know what, he's been very quiet lately,

582
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 5: and I think it may have been a good thing.

583
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 5: When they got shut out against the Baltimore Ravens two

584
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: weeks ago. I think it was on Thanksgiving Eve, and honestly,

585
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: he didn't say anything.

586
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: He was a man.

587
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 5: He came to the news conference after that and he

588
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 5: said it was my worst game as a pro. He'd

589
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 5: never been shut out before as a Bengal. And I

590
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 5: think the public realized that it's not just the defense.

591
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 5: You know, he's part of the problem too. And look,

592
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 5: he can't win by himself. And we've seen that last

593
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 5: year and everybody said, wellh the Bengals this year, they're

594
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 5: losing because Ji Wilt said, no, he wasn't hurt last year.

595
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 5: And then they made the playoffs. Did it be the

596
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 5: third straight year not going to the playoffs? Which is embarrassing.

597
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 5: It's embarrassing, it really is.

598
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: When you have a quarterback of that ilk and you

599
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: notice and You've covered the NFL for a long time, dude,

600
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: you can't waste years. You look up one.

601
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: Day, he's twenty nine. Let me come on, go.

602
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: Back to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. They never Andy

603
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: his whole career. They never drafted a skilled position player

604
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. Seriously, remember that defenses in the playoffs

605
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: gave up forty points.

606
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 3: Whatever.

607
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: They went from winning a Super Bowl should have won

608
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: maybe two or three to never even getting back to

609
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: a super Bowl.

610
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 5: Think about that. But let me ask you this. That

611
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 5: shows me at least how great Tom Brady was. How

612
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 5: many great school players did New England really have on? Yeah,

613
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 5: but Randy Moris right, who But.

614
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: I'll get if you pull a curtain back and you

615
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: told me that they didn't cheat, maybe I'll buy in today.

616
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff they're winning.

617
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: All I'm just saying, like, if if I had a

618
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame vote, I'm not voting for Tom Brady

619
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: or Bill Belichick.

620
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: They cheated or Gronk cheat it.

621
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 5: I don't think you can achieve for that length of time.

622
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: I really they didn't achieve for that length of time.

623
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: The first three the first three Super Bowls were about

624
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: Adam Venitari. Tom Brady wasn't Tom Brady. You know that Adam.

625
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: It was Adam Venitarian defense. But you still got to

626
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: get it down on the field. I mean, you're telling

627
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: me they're sort of scattering reports and they as the

628
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: cameras up there. I get it, But you still got

629
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: to perform on the field. You still got to do andy.

630
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: If you know what people are doing, that's half the

631
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 1: It's baseball. If the picture yelled out to you, If

632
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: the picture yelled out to you, I'm throwing the fastball

633
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: right over the plate. You got a great shot. I'm

634
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: not saying you're gonna connect every single time. Look, you

635
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: know when.

636
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 5: University knew what the Oregan was gonna do and they

637
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: couldn't beat Oregon.

638
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: To all they didn't belong to. I agree. So I

639
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:42,959
Speaker 3: don't know what are you? All right?

640
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: So just give me your thoughts on what's gonna happen

641
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: they am. Is he gonna wind up staying there? They're

642
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna get this thing fixed? Does he want to be

643
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: traded move on somewhere?

644
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

645
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 5: We're gonna say he wants to be here's an Ohio guy.

646
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 5: He wants to stay here. He likes it here. Uh

647
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 5: you know, I would think that eventually they keep on losing.

648
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 5: I mean, he's gonna wint out. That's what Corston Palmer did,

649
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: and he forced the hand of the Bengals and they

650
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 5: got rid of him. I mean he went to Arizona.

651
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 5: So I'd like to see him stay. I think that

652
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 5: they can win with him. But you know what, you

653
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: can win with a quarterback, not the elk of Joe

654
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 5: Burrow if you have great players on both sides of

655
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: the ball, and they don't. They do not book great

656
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 5: players at both sides of the ball. So maybe if

657
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 5: they could trade Joe Burrow for like six draft picks

658
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: or something like that. I don't know, what do you

659
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: do at twenty nine years of age? You know the

660
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 5: clock is ticking.

661
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: Really yeah, No, it's a dilemma you gotta have. We

662
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier in the show. You got to

663
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: have a quarterback to win in the league, and I agree,

664
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: you got to have the other pieces. Don't get me wrong,

665
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: I understand, Like you look at the Houston Texans. They

666
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: got a chance to go to the Super Bowl because

667
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: of what their defense is. Super Bowl ready, Am I right?

668
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: They got it unbelieve it's Denver, Denver. That's the reason

669
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: they're winning. That defense is unbelievable. So New England to

670
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: some extent too. Defense is very very important, no doubt

671
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: about it. But without a quarterback, I don't I just

672
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: don't think you're you have a shot. And you know

673
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: that there's twenty teams in the NFL need a quarterback.

674
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 5: Twenty I agree, you know, and part of the problem

675
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 5: of the offense to started with the ball. There are

676
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 5: two great receivers, no doubt, Higgins have chased a tremendous

677
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 5: Now they finally got this kid, Chase, who's a decent runner,

678
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 5: and he's done well the last several games.

679
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: But before they had him, they couldn't run out the clock.

680
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: It's so important to have a running game.

681
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: I know that position is kind of like, you know,

682
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 5: like the dinosaur's gone away. There's no more fullbacks in

683
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 5: the league. But the running back is such an important position,

684
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 5: especially when the weather gets cold, because you can't pass,

685
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 5: you can't see. You got to use the running game

686
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 5: to eat up the clock and keep the defense off

687
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: the field.

688
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: And the Bengals don't do that. They're starting now, no

689
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: doubt about it.

690
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,200

Speaker 5: Okay, she got me a heated ice cream scoop. Think

743
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 5: about that. So you get those little pints, and what

744
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: I used to do is put them in the microwave

745
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 5: because they're like frozen solid. Put them in there for

746
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 5: like forty forty five seconds, gonna melt a little bit

747
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 5: and scoop out the ice cream. Now I have this

748
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 5: self heating scoop. Put it right in there. I can

749
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 5: scoop out my ice cream. How do you like that?

750
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: That's pretty nice? I like that, Yes, very nice, very easy. Alex.

751
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 4: Can I have a second to think about it?

752
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: A little guy?

753
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: Hell, come on, you know why he didn't get any gifts.

754
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 4: That's why I did. Andy, Did I get a gift

755
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 4: of you being here today?

756
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 3: Oh right? What about USC Chris.

757
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 11: It's been a really busy year for me, so I

758
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 11: don't have too much. My mom did send me along

759
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 11: some very nice stuff. I've been kind of just working

760
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 11: my bartending games. So I got a knew uh, a

761
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 11: new measurer and one of those things that you can

762
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 11: like save sparkling wine keep the carbonation in it. So

763
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 11: that's always very good.

764
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that because I'm a guy.

765
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: I like to drink champagne and stuff like that, so

766
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, after you open the bottle, you want to

767
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: be able to preserve it for maybe another night or two,

768
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: right if you.

769
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 11: Can't, Oh yeah, especially especially prosecco stuff too, like just

770
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 11: to save you only need a little bit prosecco if

771
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 11: you're doing apparol sprits or something, so you just need

772
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 11: to put it back and just use it for later.

773
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: Shay, what about you this year?

774
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 6: Usually I don't really get good Christmas guits, but my

775
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 6: mom kind of surprised me this year, which was surprising.

776
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: I got AirPod Force. Was really excited for those for

777
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: a while.

778
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't had hadphones for a very long time,

779
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 6: and like using these random wired ones that I got

780
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 6: at airport randomly for free airpot fours.

781
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: Really needed to do. Okay, Alice, you need more time.

782
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: I got this. So my.

783
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: Older sister Marianne, and she has two grandkids, two grand boys, sons,

784
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: they all got me the bowls noise canceling headphones. You know,

785
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: I travel a lot and the ones that I had

786
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: are about six seven years old. The cushion in the

787
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: ears are like padded down and one day, you know,

788
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: I was over at their house in New York when

789
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: I was in December, and I remember her looking like,

790
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: I have my headphones on the bed or something, and

791
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: I remember her looking like really hard at them, and

792
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: I tooked to me and I was like, what are

793
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: you looking at? You know what I mean, because I

794
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: was like like that, and she had noticed that they

795
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: were kind of worn down. So when I opened that

796
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: box today, I was pleasantly surprised, because A I wanted

797
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: a new pair and B I needed a new pair,

798
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: so it answered both things. And those are expensive. Those

799
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: are better than any of the other headphones.

800
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: Andy. When I get on a plane, you know, I

801
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: fly a lot, I love to be able to cancel

802
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 3: everything out and just hear.

803
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 4: To meuts and everybody's shouting your name. So you want

804
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 4: to she sent personally or.

805
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: Were they sent to you?

806
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: No, she said them she bought them, I guess, and

807
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 3: then you know, put them in a package and sent them.

808
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 4: Well, I did mention the ninth of my sister already

809
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 4: got me, which was really dope. But if I have

810
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 4: to do a different one, I would say that I

811
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: got a very sentimental gift for my mom this year.

812
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 4: And she actually went out of her way to get

813
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: a very special bracelet made that was engraved with her

814
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: that said I love you my son, Always remember And

815
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 4: it was really cute because my mom, you know, we

816
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 4: start to take for granted a lot of the things

817
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: we get in life, and especially people. And if you

818
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 4: put in perspective, rob and like say, like, you only

819
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: get seventy two years to live, right, it's only seventy

820
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 4: two Christmases you can spend with somebody, and when you

821
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 4: put that in perspective, it's very short. And as you

822
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 4: get older and time passes, we start to really much

823
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 4: value the things we least valued. And so it was

824
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 4: really cool nice to know my mom went out of

825
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 4: her way to get something just to say, you know,

826
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 4: remember me no matter where you go in life.

827
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: You know what that is beautiful? Because did you tear

828
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 3: up a little bit? Yeah?

829
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,959
Speaker 4: I held it together for myself. But then she also

830
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: got my sister one and she put these really cute

831
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 4: cards in it. And then when I read my sister's

832
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 4: card and she talked about she was a little girl

833
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 4: in this, and then it's like that's when I kind

834
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 4: of tipped over.

835
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 5: Those things are nice and I mean, you'll never take

836
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 5: it off. You'll never take that off.

837
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 4: You can't.

838
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: And you're right, Alex, Like I tweeted something earlier and

839
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: I'll stand by it. Life is about people, not things.

840
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: And that's why you like for your mom to give

841
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: you something to remind you of her or whatever. That's

842
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: what it's about. It really is. Life is about people, Andy, U.

843
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: Things are nice, but spend time with people. You don't
