Speaker 2: You know, it was really mellow and chill, and I

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: have no problem with that. Usually every year this is

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: like a busy week, right, everybody wants to see you,

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: whether it's like the twenty first, second, twenty third, twenty four.

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: Luckily I was in Vegas and I was saying, you know,

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: with the parents. I know, we were texting until I

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: told you I'm taking another tequila show.

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: You're not gonna hear from me after this one.

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: But it was mellow because I'm going to my mom's

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: after work today, so later today we'll be doing like

32

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 2: waiting for me to get off work.

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, are you've a family of Christmas

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: Eve or Christmas Day? But I just got the.

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: Answer, well whatever, whenever, we're all available.

37
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you know what I'm saying Because of me, yeah,

38
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: because of our type of work era it really they're

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: flexible with me, even though I'm sure they're getting to

40
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: my mom's probably by now, because we do have two

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: little nephews and they're going to be spoiled all day.

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: But growing up, we basically had Christmas Eve with the family,

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: but Christmas.

44
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Day is when Sanna came.

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh, he would celebrate Christmas Eve together and then in

46
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: the morning Santa's presence, which I always wondered when I

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: was little.

48
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 3: I would ask my parents or like be like.

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: Mom, Dad, Santa uses the same rabbing paper.

50
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: How crazy? How crazy?

51
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Wow?

52
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: And what a fun time?

53
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 4: Right?

54
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because all of the little kids listening, Yes,

55
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Santa uses the same.

56
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: It really do your parents, they really do? Because convenient.

57
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, he knows when you're sleeping, and

58
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: he knows when you're awake exactly, and he knows what

59
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: wrapping paper your parents use. It's unbelievable what that guy knows. Yeah,

60
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: so we uh, we're here. We are monitoring a couple games.

61
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm glad to hear you're you're having

62
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: a good Christmas. We did our Christmas. My wife's family

63
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: is a big Christmas Eve family. So we were up

64
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: pretty late last night. And so this is actually nice

65
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: for me because I'll go home, it'll be chill, I

66
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: don't have to entertain I can watch maybe some NBA,

67
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: maybe some NFL and all that. So uh again, we

68
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: hope everybody's having a good Christmas. And let's dive into this, Monzi,

69
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: because right now on NBA in sports No.

70
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: That's right right now in the NBA, that's the right

71
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 3: way to start.

72
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's a tale of two sports right

73
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: now and the ghost of Christmas past. When we were

74
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: growing up, it was always NBA, Shaq and Kobe. You know,

75
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Actually, last night, as I was waiting for

76
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: everybody to get ready, I was flipping channels, the NBA

77
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: TV had a nineteen ninety Pistons Bowls game and you

78
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: could feel how big it was, like like Piston's bad boys,

79
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: like throwing elbows and stuff. And over the last couple

80
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: of years, and I've been at Fox Sports Areo since

81
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, so I've seen this evolution. Like you, I

82
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: work a lot of the holidays. Twenty twenty was really

83
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: the first year that the NFL tried to put a

84
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: game on Christmas Day, and it was really I don't

85
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: know if people remember the history. It was essentially that

86
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: the NBA bubble, if you remember, ended really late in

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: like the fall of twenty twenty, and the NBA was

88
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: trying to decide do we start on Christmas Day? Do

89
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: we start before Christmas Day? Do we start after Christmas Day?

90
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: And the NFL was like, oh, We'll just got and

91
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: you go back and look because I was on with

92
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Arnie Spaniard during this game. It was a Vikings Saint

93
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: game on Christmas Day. Alvin Kamara had like six t d's.

94
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Of course he did, and me and Arnie were talking

95
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: about it. We were like, did you watch basketball today?

96
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 5: No?

97
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: No, did you know? We were watching this Alvin Kamara game?

98
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: And so every year you could feel it building. The

99
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: NFL officially last year on a Tuesday, put three games

100
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. Really it felt like really buried the NBA.

101
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: You fast forward to twenty twenty five, going into twenty

102
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty six, the NFL, we basically have essentially five of

103
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: the six teams that are playing today eliminated. The Kansas

104
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: City Chiefs are obviously on like their seven string quarterback

105
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: post Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew. So you brought up

106
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: this point to me and you just said it. The

107
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: NBA game right now is awesome. Spurs Okac Wemby Shay

108
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: and it goes throughout the day. The NFL is a

109
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of dudes you never heard of,

110
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, from North Colorado State playing for the Kansas

111
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. So I think it's kind of interesting. The

112
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: NFL thought they were gonna kind of plant their flag

113
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, and it feels like the reverse has

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of happened and that the NBA is kind of

115
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: picking up some traction today because the product in the

116
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: NFL isn't going to be very good.

117
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just crazy because the NFL is king.

118
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: We all know that there's no denying that, right, But

119
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: when you think of Christmas, I do associate still till now,

120
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: even though the last couple of years we've had NFL,

121
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: I've always associated the NBA on Christmas Day, And this

122
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: year is a perfect example of the NFL getting a

123
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: little too greedy with scheduling so many games. Obviously, when

124
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: they scheduled these games, they did not anticipate the situation

125
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: that they are in.

126
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: These could have been good games, but.

127
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: They sure did so a little bit of bad luck, yes,

128
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: of course. But I feel like there's a really big

129
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: difference with Thanksgiving and Christmas.

130
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Erin it's the tradition. It's the tradition you're expecting the

131
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: NFL on Thanksgiving, not the NBA.

132
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: On Thanksgiving, you're going to actually sit and watch the NFL.

133
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: Right The NBA you can have it on in the background,

134
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: and on Christmas Day there's so much going on.

135
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: You've got, you know, people opening gifts and having a

136
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: good time. The NBA you can tune in and out

137
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: of and catch five minutes of good basketball and then

138
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be upset that you miss the next quarter.

139
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: But then you jump back in at the end and

140
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: it's back and exciting. So it's a little bit different.

141
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: If there was one NFL game today, Aaron.

142
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: Even a bad one, even the Commanders and the and

143
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: the and the Cowboys. If there was one NBA game,

144
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: everybody would have had it on because it's just one.

145
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: But then you have three and you're kind of like, uh,

146
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: And then compare it to the NBA slate. The first

147
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: game the Cavs and the Knicks NAGI was so fun

148
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: from beginning to end.

149
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: I really thought the Calves were gonna win.

150
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: In that third quarter they pulled away and they put

151
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: their foot on their throats, and then all of a sudden,

152
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: the next were like no, no, We're not done like

153
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: that from beginning to end. The NBA slate today is

154
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: more exciting, not just on paper, but an actual you know,

155
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: in front of us as we're watching Victor Wan Binyama

156
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: go up again Chet Holmgren, which is gonna be a

157
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: rivalry for who knows how long.

158
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: No, one hundred percent, And you know, it's just it's

159
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: interesting how it all played out with the NFL of

160
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, I just what you said is such a

161
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: good point about the idea of if it was one game,

162
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: but when they try to take over the whole day.

163
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: I remember last year I was in this same time

164
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: slot with VJ. Husky, and I remember I don't want

165
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: to put words in VJ. Husky's mouth. Love VJ. Right,

166
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: but we were talking about how it got to a

167
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: point last December where and I said this on air

168
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna own it. And I know we're supposed to. Oh,

169
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: there's only so many football games, and if you don't

170
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: like football, you're not American and you're the worst about

171
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Here was the thing. Last year. We had a Thursday

172
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: night game, we had Saturday NFL, we had Sunday NFL,

173
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: we had Monday Night football, we had Tuesday all day,

174
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: which was Christmas Day, And I remember VJ sitting in

175
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: the same seat you're sitting in right now, saying, I'm

176
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: trying to open my gifts with my kids and I

177
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: think it was chiefs Raiders was it. And he's like,

178
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: he's like, I can't do it all. And I said

179
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: the same thing, is like, you know, I'm as invested

180
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: in what we and I know we all are. I'm

181
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: not saying that, but like I try to watch as

182
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: much as we can. But when you're asking fans five

183
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: days out of you know, so let's just do the calendar, right.

184
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: So last Thursday we had what was at Seahawks Rams,

185
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: which feels like forever thousand years ago, and then we

186
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: had Saturday NFL the Bears great game. I was on

187
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: air when that happened, Eagles game whatever. Then Sunday, then Monday,

188
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: now it's Wednesday, and now that there's a game Thursday,

189
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: and then guess what, It's just it's a lot. And

190
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: I think to your point, if it was one game

191
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: to kind of wrap up the day, everybody's head evening. Yeah, yep,

192
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: like you said, you guys are having Christmas dinner. Maybe

193
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: it's out of the background. But to ask fans to

194
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: commit nine ten hours on Christmas Day, it's kind of

195
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: a wild thought process when you think about it.

196
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, And again this wasn't the plan. Like

197
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: these could have been good games. But would you have

198
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: really paid attention and sat down the way you sit

199
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving to watch these games.

200
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would have.

201
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: It's great call.

202
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: There's so many things going on, and I don't even

203
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: have kids. Sure, and you have a dog, well you know,

204
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: runs your world. Yeah yeah, no, But no, by the way,

205
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: I'm so screwed up on my days. I said there's

206
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: gonna be a Thursday game.

207
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: More.

208
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: No, but you got there. You said Wednesday, there's games there.

209
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: We got there. It's fine. Nobody's blaming you. Again, nobody

210
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: knows what day it is.

211
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: It is it is. Let me ask you this. I

212
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: was say about this on the drive in a little

213
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,479
Speaker 1: causation correlation, Like we say, the NFL got unlucky because

214
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, Patrick Mahomes is hurt. The Lions have a

215
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: bunch of injuries. Obviously, Jayden Daniels has essentially been on

216
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: the lineup most this season. I was saying about this,

217
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: I think there's almost like a causation correlation thing of

218
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: you're asking these guys now to play so much like

219
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: obviously the Chiefs are the extreme example, right, but you

220
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: remember last year there was the stat of because I

221
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: think Christmas Day was on a Tuesday, and they played

222
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: every single day of the week except for Wednesday. So

223
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: they played the Tuesday Christmas game, they played a Thanksgiving game.

224
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: I think last year they played Sundays, they played Monday,

225
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: they played a Friday to open the season. And I

226
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: do think like, when you're asking these professional athletes and

227
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: then you know to not only play this physical sport,

228
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: but also some weeks you get ten days off between games,

229
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: some days you get three days off. You know that

230
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: all these teams just played on Sunday. I think there's

231
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of a causation correlation of like, yeah,

232
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: at some point, the Chiefs were going to break down

233
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: because you're expecting them to headline every single marque thing

234
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: that you're doing. Oh, you want to do Friday night

235
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: in Brazil, Send the Chiefs. You want to do Thanksgiving?

236
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: Who can we put against the Cowboys? Send the Chiefs. Oh,

237
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: now it's Christmas Day, Send the Chiefs. Oh, there's a

238
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: couple of Mondays or you know what I'm saying. So

239
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's there's any way to prove it,

240
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: but I do kind of feel like this was always

241
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: going to be the end result with a team like

242
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I think the Lions kind of fit that bill. Ironically,

243
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: Dallas fits that bill though they don't really have the

244
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: injuries necessarily. But I do think there's, like I said,

245
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: a little causation correlation of like we could sit there

246
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: and say the NFL got unlucky, but what do you

247
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: expect when the Chiefs are on this crazy schedule where

248
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: every week it's a little bit different as opposed to

249
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: a team that's playing mostly Sundays.

250
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: You know, that's a really good good point. It's almost

251
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: seemed like there's a there's a burden for being good. Yeah,

252
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: like you keep moving me all the way around. And

253
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: that's a really great point.

254
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 2: If I am the NFL, Like if I'm players of

255
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: the NFL, I would be against these Christmas Days or

256
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: these Christmas games that are not just today's Thursday. There'd

257
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: be one game in the evening. Sure, like that's normal,

258
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: but to kind of change the schedule in a time

259
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: where it's kind of busy and things are so just

260
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: up in the air, even at home.

261
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: You would think that they would that they would fight this,

262
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: like with the.

263
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: Union and being like you know what I'm saying, like, no,

264
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: just one game. If it lands on a game, we're

265
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: on a day we're supposed to play, so that everybody else.

266
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: We already devote Thursday Thanksgiving to this, can we not

267
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: do this on Christmas Day?

268
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: It's it's crazy.

269
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: If I am the players, I would definitely be annoyed

270
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: by the schedule. And yeah, I know they make a

271
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: lot of money. That's not to say, we're just saying

272
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: keep a regular schedule. That's what we're saying during this

273
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: busy week, keep a normal schedule.

274
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: And they may make of money, but they want to play.

275
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: They want to be on the field, like I can play. Well, yes,

276
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you know the point you brought up,

277
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: and not to keep jumping back and forth between points,

278
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: but the point about like there's something about Thanksgiving where

279
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: you kind of eat and it's like kind of built

280
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: It's like what do they say, like built into the

281
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: cake or something like that, of like, oh yeah, just

282
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: football is gonna be on all day you know, maybe

283
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be snacking early and there's a game on

284
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: and then you eat dinner, or maybe you eat early

285
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: and then you're sitting on the couch and there's football

286
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: I and maybe maybe we get there in twenty years

287
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: with the NFL. That is not anyone's schedule on Christmas

288
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: that I'm aware of. And I'm kind of curious from

289
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: your like social circle perspective. And I don't know if

290
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: you have anybody outside of your family that you've talked

291
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: to about this, but like, I haven't, now that I

292
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: think about it, I haven't really heard like a lot

293
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: of people being like, yeah, well, you know, we had

294
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: to move up Christmas early because you know, we can't

295
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: miss the Broncos game, you know what I mean. It's

296
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: like absolutely not like it'll be there. But I have

297
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: yet to hear anybody kind of in my social circles

298
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: like rearranging Christmas. And I do think that does happen

299
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving to a degree. Cowboys play at four o'clock whatever, Yeah,

300
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: you know, of course it does.

301
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, okay, of course it does on Thanksgiving.

302
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: What times the game you guys want to watch?

303
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: It starts out four Okay, do we should we serve

304
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: food at three thirty so everyone is calmly ready to

305
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: watch a kickoff. No, And it's like in during Thanksgiving

306
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: you have the people. It's like this room is gonna

307
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: have the game on a time at all times, and

308
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: this is where, no, you don't talk during the game.

309
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: This is where we're actually watching the game.

310
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: And then you have another room where the game is

311
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 2: on in the background and you can talk amongst yourselves

312
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: and like change the subject. And then there's a room

313
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: where there is no game on and people are over

314
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: there focusing on other things. When it comes to NBA

315
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: on Christmas or the NFL on Christmas, it's like, priority

316
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: is Christmas, family presence, whatever traditions you have, that's the priority,

317
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 2: and everything comes later.

318
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: The other thing too, about basketball and now and I'm

319
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: thinking about it, it's more of like an in and

320
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: out sport, right, So like two things. One, if you're

321
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: just watching, like you said, you can kind of be

322
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: in and out. You really only have to watch the

323
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, for being honest, even like the last four

324
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: minutes the fourth quarter in a good game like this

325
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: Spurs OKC game, Like there will be no point during

326
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: our four hours on air where we're like, remember in

327
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: the second quarter when Wenby hit that fade, Like, no,

328
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: that's not really how the sport works. But I was

329
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna say too, the games are quicker. And then even

330
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: if you're going I actually many years ago went to

331
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: a Lakers Christmas Day game back in the day, and

332
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: you go and you leave and you're done. We're like

333
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the NFL again all day committed. I don't even know

334
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this. I just think it's something

335
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought about, the Thanksgiving versus Christmas parallel.

336
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: But I do think there's something too like Christmas. Like

337
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: I said, you're running between ten different families and the

338
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: kids are opening presents, and now the kids are playing presents,

339
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: and then somebody's crying in the other room because someone's

340
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: start you know what I mean. And it's like, I

341
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: don't know, there's just something that feels very football ye

342
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving that it hasn't translated to Christmas yet. And

343
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it will never happen, but it certainly

344
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it to this point.

345
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: And no, it's not gonna happen.

346
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: Also, what you said, I just wanted to stop you

347
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: but I wanted you to finish your thought, I was

348
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: gonna say, And you're speaking like a true non basketball

349
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: fan saying that you only need to tune in to the.

350
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: Final park and you know what it's like, I understand

351
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: what you.

352
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Mean by that, that you really can just and you're

353
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: not the first person that's.

354
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Ever seen you literally just said a few minutes ago

355
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: you could come in and out whatever.

356
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: You you absolutely can't.

357
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like a perfect if you like the NBA,

358
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: the Calves Knicks game today was everything that I wanted

359
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: a game because it went up and down, up and down.

360
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: I thought the Knicks, we're dead, and then they.

361
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: Came back alive right before half, and then I thought

362
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: they were dead again, and I legit was like, there's

363
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: no way the Knicks come back from this, and then

364
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: they came back. But that's part of the rollercoaster of

365
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: watching an NBA game.

366
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: It is up and down, and you're right that you

367
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: can tune in at the very.

368
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Last five minutes of the game and probably catch the

369
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: best of it.

370
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: But speaking like a true non NBA fan.

371
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Well, and lastly, we'll put a bow on this by saying,

372
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, the other thing that's annoying about the NFL

373
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, no disrespect, But it's on Netflix, It's

374
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: on Fix, and I can't figure out my password right now,

375
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: so I'm not supposed to say this as the guy

376
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be keeping America up on Cowboys Commanders.

377
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: It is currently twenty seven to thirteen as we get

378
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: about a minute and a half left in the third quarter.

379
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: I promise you twenty seven to seventeen.

380
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: It is What did I say? Twenty seven thirteen seventeen?

381
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Sorry is the point. I'm all over the place right

382
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: now because I can't log into Netflix. Can we just

383
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: play it on main TV? Anyway? Twenty seven to seventeen,

384
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Dallas leads Washington and now here in our Fox Sports

385
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: radio studios, the Spurs are up forty three to thirty seven.

386
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: Is that that can't be right? Eleven minutes, it says,

387
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: eleven minutes in the first quarter.

388
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: Might Yeah, it's I think they're giving you now that's wrong.

389
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: It's the second quar quarter. It's definitely the second quarter.

390
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: So see I'm not the only one screwing up because

391
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: the second quarter back. Yeah, so three to twenty eight

392
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, even though the score bug on

393
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: TV says the first quarter, not listen. I can't log

394
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: into Netflix. ESPN can't get their graphics right. But you

Speaker 1: You know what's crazy? The challenge went live during my

451
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: show on Saturday night. After I guess it was the

452
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: James Madison Oregon game. I was like, oh, I'll do

453
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: it right now. Still haven't done yet?

454
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: You still haven't done?

455
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: Is it because you don't do do you know what

456
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 2: you'd want to pick? Or is there like a matchup

457
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: that you are not as confident? So that's why really

458
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 2: you're not you haven't done it?

459
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is the brat.

460
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: Dive into the Aaron Torres.

461
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: Well, this is the bracket conundrum. And this is actually

462
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: a perfect segue to your boy Trinidad Chandlerson half a second.

463
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: But so, my big I have two big takes for

464
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: the second round of the college football Playoff. I think

465
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: Miami Ohouse State. I think Miami is gonna make things

466
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: tough for Ohio State. I don't know if they can win.

467
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: But here is my real conundrum, and this is the

468
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: same thing filling out of March Madness bracket. I think

469
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: the winner of Texas Tech Oregon huh, will beat the

470
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: winner of Indiana Alabama. I'm just not sure if I

471
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: like Texas Tech or Oregon in that game. So whoever

472
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: wins that game, I will have playing for the national championship.

473
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: I'm leaning Oregon right now, but I'm not one hundred

474
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: percent sure. So that's where I'm at. Do you know

475
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: who you like in the college football Playoff? I mean,

476
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: you're you know, my vacation I'm in college. Proud of you.

477
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: By the way, because I listen, I don't want to

478
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: put you on the spot. I would say growing up

479
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: you were more of an NBA NFL kind of girls.

480
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: That question, no question about it. Yes, baseball, yes.

481
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, of course yeah, you great coverage of the Dodgers,

482
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: and uh, you do the show with Martin Weiss before

483
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: me on Saturday. So Martin Weiss and Monte Bolanio's five

484
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: to eight Pacific, eight to eleven Eastern, correct, and then

485
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm on at eleven eastern and I have to listen.

486
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: I've seen you spread your little college football butterfly wings

487
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: over the last six months or so, and so it's

488
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: been awesome. You know, you're you're you're diving in, You're

489
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: breaking down Michigan's dog yard, and you're, oh, Texas Tech.

490
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that's secondary against the past attack of

491
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: b YU. You're just peppering me in the hallway with questions. So,

492
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: how have you enjoyed this college football season?

493
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of fun.

494
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: And I think part of the reason it's been a

495
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 2: lot of fun is because I don't care, Like I'm

496
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: not hurt by anything. And I also, like, you know,

497
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: at the start of the season, Martin was like, you

498
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: should pick a team and like follow them, But I

499
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: feel like that's such a I'm such a fraud, Like

500
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: I can't just pick a team that I root for

501
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 2: with my entire heart, Like I went to kelse Fuller, Jay,

502
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: there was a football team there, you know what I mean,

503
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: Like it's there's no real connection sure for me to

504
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 2: just pick a team and go for it from beginning

505
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: to end. So it's been super fun. I'm rooting. I'm

506
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: rooting for a couple of teams. Oh, I mean I'm.

507
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: Rooting for Indiana, for Nanda Mendoza. I mean I am

508
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for Indiana. I'm also rooting for Ole miss Wow.

509
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a perfect segue, by the way,

510
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: perfect segue, by the way, Brandon Aubrey lining up for

511
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: a field goal to give the Cowboys a twenty thirty

512
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: to twenty lead. Our guy, Brandon Aubrey just missed the

513
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: field He missed.

514
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: Because he definitely beat me to get to the playoffs

515
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: in one of my fantasy football leagues.

516
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: He's a cheat code. I can't believe he missed. He's

517
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: missed the last couple of weeks, a couple of months.

518
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: He did well. He just missed.

519
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 5: There.

520
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: It is twenty seven to twenty Dallas with thirteen thirty

521
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: one to go in the second half or in the

522
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Excuse me, by the way, San Antonio up

523
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: fifty three forty six, five point fifty four in the

524
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: NBA game. All right, so we mentioned college football playoff,

525
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: we mentioned old Miss Trinidad Chamblas.

526
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: So there's sad story, great story.

527
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: There's a great story, but it doesn't I don't get

528
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: the vibe that you're happy with the potential ending of

529
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: the Trinidad Chamblas story. So let me just set this up.

530
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of different directions to go, but

531
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: we can focus on Trinidad Champlains for now. Is that

532
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: for years, as somebody who loves college sports, all I

533
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: ever heard was, oh, college, these players are being exploited.

534
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: Let them go, bro, it's so terrible. Well, now with nil,

535
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: the reality is unless you're basically like a first round

536
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: pick in either of these major sports major league NFL

537
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: or college NBA, and really I don't even think that's

538
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: the case, you're probably going to make more money in college.

539
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: And so we not only see guys so like, I'll

540
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: give you a quick side example, but there's a quarter

541
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: named Brendan Soresby from Cincinnati. He'd be like a fourth

542
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: round pick. What Will Howard? This was Will Howard a

543
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: few years ago. He's like, I can be a fourth

544
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: round pick and be on a practice squad, or I

545
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: can make two and a half million at Ohio State. Yeah,

546
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: I'll go to Ohio State and be the quarterback at

547
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Well, we have that situation. Basketball is another

548
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: situation we'll get to in a second. But your guy,

549
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss began his career. It is a great story.

550
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: D two fair Estate decides to go in the portal

551
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and if I understand it correctly, like Lane Kiffin and

552
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: Charlie West Junior basically saw film of him on Twitter

553
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: and we're like, Oh, this guy's interesting, bring him in.

554
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: He still he gets the job. He keeps the job.

555
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: He's been one of the most impactful players in college football.

556
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: But now he's arguing that he deserves another year because

557
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: of weird injuries and this and that, even though under

558
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: the bylaws he actually doesn't qualify. He's fighting for another

559
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: year of college football. And I just think he's a

560
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: good metaphor for this world that we live in. Unless

561
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: you're one of the as the kids say, unless you're

562
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: one of those ones, you're trying to stay in college sports.

563
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm rambling enough. You take it where you

564
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: want to. Because it's a crazy world that we live in.

565
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: It's such a crazy it is a crazy situation and

566
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: there's so much to it. But I do think Trinidad

567
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: Chadliss is the perfect person to discuss this situation because

568
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for him.

569
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: The story is great, Are you kidding me?

570
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: I hope old mis gets far, especially because stupid line given.

571
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: But that's a separate conversation. I'm rooting for him, but no, popping,

572
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: you can't play another year, Like, no, you can't do that.

573
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: You can't, and I like you, you can't do it.

574
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: Right now, I feel like it is getting blurrier and

575
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: blurrier between professional sports and college and that's not what

576
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: it should be. College should be an experience with the

577
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: expiring date, Like once you start the clock, that's it.

578
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: And I know COVID happened. We're past that.

579
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: Don't tell me you need another year because COVID, we

580
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: are past all of that.

581
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: You can't be twenty five years old playing against college kids.

582
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: You just can't.

583
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 3: And I know you're making more money.

584
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: I understand all that, but you know what, life is unfair,

585
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 2: and it's just.

586
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: It makes pretty much pretty much we're gonna.

587
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: Be saying that, like college is a minor professional league system,

588
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: it's gonna be amateur professional. That's where we're getting to

589
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: erin that is basically gonna just be minor league.

590
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: Is that just call it that? So calling a college

591
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: call it minor league?

592
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Well, and it leads very interestingly to a story that

593
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: happened yesterday, which is crazy. Okay, So James Nase, you know,

594
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: again to use a very gen z term. Not sure

595
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: if you're familiar with his game. Okay, that's more of

596
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: a shock term. I guess thirty first overall pick in

597
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three NBA draft because he was so

598
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: let me even backtram last couple of months, there have

599
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: been certain schools that are pushing the boundaries of like

600
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: what is actually acceptable, like how far will the NCA

601
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: allow this to go? Okay? And so we have had

602
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: basically it started with there's a bunch of European players

603
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: coming over and they're kind of professionals and they're twenty two,

604
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna play in the NBA, so who cares?

605
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: And then what we were doing was there was a

606
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: couple guys in the G League that had never gone

607
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: to college, and so it was like, well, they're in

608
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: the G league, but they're not playing in the NBA

609
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: and they never got drafted.

610
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 3: Whatever.

611
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: I bring it up because on Wednesday, I know you

612
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: were in with Dan in this spot. I don't know

613
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: if you guys hit on this or not.

614
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: We didn't.

615
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So Baylor signed this guy named James Nausei was

616
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: drafted in the twenty twenty three NBA draft. Now he

617
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: has never played in an NBA game, but his rights

618
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: were owned I believe by the Timberwolves. He was actually

619
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: part of the Carl Anthony Towns Julius Randall trade.

620
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: Correct.

621
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: He committed to Baylor and he is going to play

622
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: at Baylor. And so I will say, now, I don't

623
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: really care because I could have told you five years ago, hey,

624
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: if you put in unlimited transfers, if you put in

625
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: unlimited nil, bad stuff is gonna happen. Crazy stuff is

626
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen because coach just want to win. I don't

627
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: really care, but I do think there probably is a

628
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: line in the sand of a twenty three year old

629
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: who was drafted by an NBA team that is now

630
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: going to play college basketball this year. And I'll tell

631
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: you what Manzi. I just I know this for a

632
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: fact unless somebody stops this, and I don't know who

633
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: can stop it at this point, because the NCAA has

634
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: no teeth, they can't do anything about this. We're going

635
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: schools are trying going to try to get players eligible

636
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: that have played in the NBA. Like assume you're Manzi

637
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: Bolanos or I'm Aritrrez and I got drafted fifty first

638
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: overall and I played three games last year and I'm

639
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: back in the G League and I'm not making very

640
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: much money. Someone is going to try to sign me.

641
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: This is not going to stop. And so to your point,

642
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I think we have officially reached the point of critical

643
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: mass where this is all just one big glob of

644
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: college sports with the NBA, with the NFL. And uh,

645
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: it's no, that's great.

646
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: He's I don't I don't know if he's twenty three.

647
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: I thought he was twenty one. But it doesn't matter.

648
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.

649
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: He's twenty one and he got four years. That was

650
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: the other part too, Yeah, give him a year ago.

651
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: You're giving him four.

652
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, this is just okay.

653
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: Listen, any any college volleyball teams. Nita Lebaro, I've never

654
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: played college volleyball. Can you go sign me?

655
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: Why can't I?

656
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: I signed her to go play volleyball. I still play volleyball.

657
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: I could, I could do it. That sounds ridiculous, but

658
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: that's where we're getting to.

659
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: It is, that's where we're getting to you already, and

660
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: it's I know it's it's the money.

661
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: Erin is always the money.

662
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: It's the right, like I just but you can't. You

663
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: There has to be like a hard a hard no.

664
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: You can't keep blending this or making it great. Dangle Pavia,

665
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: you're responsible for all this. You can't keep on Broadway.

666
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: That's what he's gonna do.

667
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna play a seventh year. I bet he's gonna

668
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: find some loophole.

669
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: There has to be like a hard a hard line

670
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: when it comes to college sports and how many years

671
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: you can actually play and.

672
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: Once you've got, once you've left, you're done. You know

673
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

674
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I'll tell you what.

675
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: This guy's crazy.

676
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: So a couple of things. One, I want to continue

677
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: this conversation because I think there's a couple of side

678
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: effects too. You mentioned dudes twenty five twenty six playing

679
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: college sports. Here's what John Calperry said a few weeks ago.

680
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: There are a lot of older gentlemen with beards playing

681
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: basketball in college right now.

682
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: There are so.

683
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: You you know, the one that's crazy is the kid.

684
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: The guy comes in and you're and he's waving to

685
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: his kids up in the seats, and you're like, wait

686
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: a minute, the guy got two kids. He's still playing

687
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: college basketball. Crazy thing. He's using nil for his first

688
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 4: wife's alimony and now he's still playing college basketball.

689
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: Are we nuts?

690
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

691
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: That was Josh Calperry on the state of college sports.

692
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what. I actually have a lot

693
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: more on this. I think there's a lot more meat

694
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: on this phone. Yeah, a couple things. First of all,

695
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: the road to Milan runs through Saint Louis See. Ilia, Molina,

696
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: Lissa lou and Amber Glenn compete at the twenty twenty

Speaker 1: us figure Skating dot Org. All right, we're gonna continue

701
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: this conversation because much like NCAA eligibility clocks, we're just

702
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna keep this thing going all day long. We give

703
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: that in a minute. Chris Perfet on the updates. My man,

Speaker 1: set one on fire around here somewhere. Yeah, that seems

709
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: that seems appropriate.

710
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 7: Let's start in the NFL where there are NFL games

711
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 7: going on. This Cowboys Commanders game has been a little

712
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 7: closer than we anticipated. Twenty seven to twenty the current score,

713
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 7: Dallas with the ball, ten minutes to go in the

714
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 7: fourth quarter, and nothing says Christmas quite like German. Would

00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 7: you like to hear the German call of one of

716
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott's touchdowns?

Speaker 1: it just it.

722
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 7: It sounds festive. It's I'm not even sure what the

723
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 7: right word is for. We get all half of it

724
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 7: from German toy and I got it. It was about Prescott

725
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 7: and Turpin.

726
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: I got it.

727
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: What a flag on the play too? Yeah, I didn't

728
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: know that I spoke German because I end zone. I

729
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: understood it.

730
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 7: You get a lot of stuff. I mean, just it's

731
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 7: easier language to think of. You think that is one

732
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 7: of two touchdowns for Dak Prescott on this day. Jacoby

733
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 7: Krossky merit with the two touchdowns for the Commanders, including

734
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 7: a seventy two yard run that I would like to play,

735
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 7: but EMMITTT. Smith would not stop talking over so we're

736
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 7: going to save him at that sound. Coming up at

Speaker 7: Four starters out for the Vikings today, including Jordan Mason

739
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 7: and TJ. Hawkinson. Illness seems to be hampering the Lions.

740
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 7: Offensive Tackle Taylor Decker was a late addition to the

741
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 7: injury report with illness and he is inactive. And even

742
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 7: though he was on the report for illness, David Montgomery

743
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 7: will play despite the designation, So keep your eye on

744
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,000

749
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 7: the Spurs opening up quite a lead here in the

750
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 7: dying minutes of the first half, sixty seven fifty four

751
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 7: the score right now, although I think we're about to

752
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 7: get a three.

753
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: Nope, that's off. That's that's a brick.

754
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:52,880

Speaker 1: took care of business in the first game of our

798
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. I don't know how to say it. There's

799
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: five games. It's not a quadruple header quadruple header plus one?

800
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: Is it like sinquental?

801
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 3: I didn't even know what you were trying to say.

802
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: I can't help you. Five sinkle? It's like, course he

803
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: going with this.

804
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: It's a quadruple header plus one.

805
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: That's what we call a sinkle.

806
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: Yes, well, we're at halftime of the second game of

807
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: our quadruple header plus one. San Antonio up sixty nine

808
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: to sixty So Knicks win game one? How about future

809
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: Nick James Nause circle back to this, so James Naji

810
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: will be quick on this committed to Baylor yesterday. We

811
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't normally talk about this except he was literally drafted

812
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: in the NBA two years ago, has not played an

813
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: NBA game, and has now signed on to play college basketball.

814
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: I only bring it up. We talked about a little

815
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: bit before the break. I think it actually creates so

816
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: like so, and I think the bigger picture conversation is

817
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: there are clearly going to be no boundaries now as

818
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: to like I don't think I think it's gonna be

819
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: very hard for the NCAA to just say you're not eligible,

820
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: because they're gonna get suped. And so I only bring

821
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: it up because I think it just sets up some

822
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: very interesting things like what if James Nause I don't

823
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: think he will, Like what if he just blows up

824
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: and he's awesome? Like can the Knicks call him up

825
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, Like what if Karl

826
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns sprains an ankle? You know, So there's a

827
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: lot of just different things, by the way, I think

828
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: from the college perspective, if there's no deadlines and guys

829
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: can just come and go as they please, what happens

830
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: to guys that get drafted and aren't happy with where

831
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: they're draft. There's just so many variables to it. I know,

832
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of throwing this at you, willy nilly,

833
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: but you could take it wherever you are. By What

834
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: is Shaq wearing right now on inside the NBA? Unbelievable?

835
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 3: Wait wait, he's he is the season. He's wearing a

836
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: little red.

837
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: I like the sport code, but he's wearing a top hat.

838
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's only a topic. I will say, Uh, Ernie

839
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: looks great with the green. Yeah, that green looks really good.

840
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that.

841
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 3: You all are good, but Ernie is in theme extra.

842
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: So, according to this New York Post article, his collegiate

843
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: career does not impact his status with the Knicks. New

844
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: York still holds his draft rights. So let's say he

845
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: finishes in four years, does he just go back to

846
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: the Knicks. It's so connec No, no, no, no, this doesn't

847
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: make any sense. You have to you what do you

848
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: mean that people are gonna get suited of the NCAA

849
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: doesn't give him a eligibility.

850
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 3: What do you mean by that? If you you've left

851
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 3: there's I don't.

852
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: Understand how difficult it is to actually have legit structure

853
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: for college there especially now.

854
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: Well, because I'm not listening, I'm not a lawyer. If

855
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: we have any lawyers listening here on Christas, yes you can,

856
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: Sweet Aaron Underscore tours mom at Manzi Milannios. I don't

857
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: really understand all of it, but there's some sort of

858
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: like worker rights, like you know, they're taking away your

859
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: right to earn money and they're not employees, so they.

860
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: Get because this is school. Yeah, this is school. You're

861
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: supposed to be the school you're suppo. Also, back then

862
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: you had to study. I don't even know these kids

863
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: are studying anyone.

864
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 1: Well I saw a headline. I haven't actually heard the audio.

865
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: Joe Clad apparently went off of this. Nobody's even going

866
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: to class anymore.

867
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I'm not surprised by any of that,

868
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: but and you can't just keep doing this just to

869
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 2: make money and tell me that you're that the NCAA

870
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: is preventing you from making money.

871
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 3: Go get a job because you're supposed to be in school.

872
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: And that's my I think bigger picture takeaway is as

873
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: somebody who loves college basketball, like if you didn't want

874
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: to be there, like I actually the Trinidad Chambliss thing.

875
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: I have less problem with the players that are trying

876
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to stay, but the dudes

877
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: that were like, come out and come back their nose.

878
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: I'm too good for you. You know, you go back

879
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: five six years, nobody want to play, Oh we're gonna

880
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: start this overtime elite there or this uh G league

881
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: I night thing that you I want to be there.

882
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: You can't just circle back and just decide that now

883
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: because you can make good money that you want to

884
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: be That's the part that actually bothers me. But I

885
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a weird thing where I actually

886
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: do think the NBA and the NCAA kind of have

887
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: to come to an agreement because it can hurt the

888
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: NBA too. As far as like dudes just you know,

889
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: like I said, James, not as you could go to

890
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: the Knicks. But to your point, what if the Knicks

891
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: need him? He's like, no, I'm just staying at Baylor. Like,

892
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: but we own your rights, but you don't know the right.

893
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: It's just a very weird situation. I'll tell you what.

894
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: We got three more hours to discuss it all. So

895
