1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What's up, straight Fire, fam, 2 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Wednesday, February six. 3 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: Team Hope everybody had a splendid Tuesday and really enjoyed 4 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: the podcast. I know one person it was an unsatisfied customer, 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: and that would be former can I call him former? 6 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: Former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman? Not happy with your boy, 7 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: um boy, I spent some time putting out some fire's 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: not really it's fun to get down in there in 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: the mud and mix it up with Richard Sherman, who 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: is it was just extremely unhappy with my Matt Stafford 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame take. And obviously Richard Sherman is one 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: of these guys who will see the headline, not read 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: the story or listen to the podcast and just form 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: an opinion based on that. So I said yesterday that 15 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has a Hall of Fame case. He was 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: mired in a dumpster fire of a franchise. He goes 17 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: to the Rams, a good franchise and win four straight 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: playoff games, has the game winning driving the Super Bowl, 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: is now a champion and Matt Stafford, you know, who 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: was a very good quarterback, top ten, top twelve quarterback 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: for much of his career, close to the top five, 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years where they did make the playoffs 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: in Detroit and lo and behold, he's finally got a 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: supporting cast and a defense which he never had in Detroit, 25 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: and a coach and look at that. Stafford's a champion. 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, he's building a Hall of Fame case. He's 27 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: on track to get in. He's only thirty four. He's 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: got four more years, probably three, three more years to 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: fine you want to say two more really good years. Um, 30 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: it sounds like the RAMS nucleus is not going anywhere. 31 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: We'll say three will push him to thirty seven, right, 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: three good years. Uh, there's no reason to believe Matt 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: Stafford will win a couple more playoff games, maybe get 34 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: to another stuper Bowl. I don't know. RAMS sounds like 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna be one of the betting favorites. And so, yeah, 36 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: Stafford's definitely on track. He's I would say he's on track. 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: I would say he's like eighty percent chance to get 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame right now. Now. None of 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: his career stops right now, but the way it's progressing right, 40 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: logical conclusion. Anybody with half a brain can see, oh, 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Stafford's really good. Maybe we overlooked him all those years 42 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: in Detroit. And Richard Sherman's like, what are you talking about? Everybody? 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: You can't let everybody in the Hall of Fame and 44 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: coming after me, and I'm like, well, first of all, 45 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: you blocked me on Twitter, and I you you don't 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: let people tag you on I G you know, I 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: guess You've got a lot of stuff going on, Richard Sherman. 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: But it's really funny how angry he was about it. 49 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: And then I started to dig deeper and apparently he 50 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: took a shot at Russell Wilson last week on his podcast, 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: which I didn't see. It got any pick up anywhere. 52 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: So it's pretty evident that Sherman is one of these guys. 53 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: And again, remember he has a huge chip on his shoulder. Um. 54 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: Coming out of Stanford, he was very talented and he 55 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: was I think he was a wide receiver in high 56 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: school and they wanted to convert him, and then he 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: was resistant, and then he finally converted and uh, he 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: was an elite cornerback and he was so pissed at 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: the Combine and the Senior Bowl and all all this 60 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: stuff that Richard Sherman just angry that he fell to 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: the fifth round. He about to prove people. And remember 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: he at first match up with Tom Brady, has a 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: great game, and he only had the match up because 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys got hurt ahead of him. He 65 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: was buried on the depth chart, and he instantly went 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: and talked trash to Tom Brady. Was like, listen, man, 67 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I respect the hustle. He's never gonna give up the 68 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: guy working, working his tail off. And Richard Sherman became 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: an All Pro and one of the best cornerbacks in 70 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: the game for a stretch there. He was no Darrell Reevous, 71 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: but he was really, really, really good, no doubt about it. 72 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: And so Sherman's like writing this, well, you can't let 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: every quarterback in the Hall of Fame. And it's like 74 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: it sounds like he doesn't think Russell Wilson should sniff it. 75 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: He doesn't based on his credential. Season't think Ben Roethlisberger's worthy. 76 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I mean, I guess Richard Sherman 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: needs a history lesson. I thought these standard guys are 78 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: really smart. Um, But Jim Kelly made it too. Four 79 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: super Bowls lost, all of them, was all pro once 80 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: and he's in the Hall of Fame. Troy Troy Aikman 81 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: works with me at Fox Obviously three rings, never all pro, 82 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: never was once at all pro quarterback. He's in the 83 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. By the way, um odd stat Troy 84 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: Achen hundred sixty five career touchdown passes. Matt Stafford will 85 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: double him next year. He's already at three three. And 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: it's not like they played like forty years apart. Okay, 87 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, but prime was this was the teams, and 88 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: Aikman's prime was the nineties, so it was like twenty 89 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: years apart. And he's doubled him in touchdown passes. Been 90 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: obviously Hall of Fame, no doubt. But Stafford's numbers and 91 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: again I'm building up the case here. Warren Moon, no 92 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, never all pro, in the Hall of Fame. 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, well, j he has great stats. 94 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford already has more passing yards, more touchdowns. Um, 95 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Like you know, Warren Moon was an awesome quarterback. He's 96 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, Folks, when you hear's I 97 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: don't want to hear this. You can't let everybody in 98 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Joe Namath was a starter for 99 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: nine years. That's it. Another guy, Stafford will double his 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: career touchdown passes next year. Staff Will will double his 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: UH play passing yardage next year. And again, I get 102 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it now. Staff Nameth played forever Ago Nameth All Pro once, 103 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: one Super Bowl, nine seasons as a starter. That's it. 104 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: Like he's in the Hall of Fame. Dan Fouts Hall 105 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: of Fame, never won a Super Bowl, was All Pro twice. 106 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: Fouts has massive numbers. He played in the eighties, by 107 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: the way, which is before Aikman, So he put up 108 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: massive numbers in the eighties, didn't win anything. He's in 109 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I'm just it's not as clear 110 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: cut as uh As Sherman makes it out to be. 111 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: Just because you're in the Pro Bowl, a bunch like 112 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in the Hall of Fame. Fuck the 113 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Sorry ROBJ if you have to delete that, 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: But like who cares about the Pro Bowl? Like, how 115 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: do you know how you get to the Pro Bowl? 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Nobody's looking at any advanced numbers nobody's looking at any 117 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: numbers that matter. If you just look at the basic 118 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: stuff yards, touchdowns, UM, obviously the Super Bowl win, like 119 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's gonna be there, no doubt about it. I'm 120 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: just again to point this out Stafford. If you can 121 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: look at a pro football reference, it's called the Quarterback 122 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Monitor, and they basically track what the 123 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, what the quarterbacks are who are in the 124 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And I'm telling you right now they 125 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: already have. For first of all, a little bit of 126 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: a surprise. But Joe Flacco is is kind of down 127 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: the list. Now. I'm just saying, Joe Flacco is never 128 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: all pro, never made a Pro Bowl. Um did win 129 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, but he was awesome in the playoffs January. 130 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was a real thing, very very good. He's 131 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: He's way below Matt Stafford. So Stafford is barely behind 132 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly. He Stafford's ahead Phil Simms, McNabb, Randall Cunningham, 133 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: Drew bled so Carson Palmer. None of those guys in 134 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. The lowest guy on the Quarterback 135 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Monitor that's in is Jim Kelly. After 136 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: that as Aikman, then Len Dawson who played forever ago, 137 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Warren Moon, Bob Greasy. But the way that Stafford is trending, 138 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: he's going to pass on this Pro Football Reference list 139 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly and Troy Aigman next year and within two 140 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: or three years should pass Warren Moon, Bob Greasy, Sonny Jurgensen. 141 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: By the way, Russell Wilson much higher on the list 142 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: than I think Richard Sherman's expecting. By the way, highest 143 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Sky on the list not in the Hall of Fame. 144 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: And that's excluding Brady and Rogers and Breeze who are 145 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: not eligible. Matt Ryan not eligible, Ben Roethlisberger, Rivers not eligible, 146 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: Eli not eligible. The highest guy is Ken Anderson Cincinnati Bengals. 147 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: I think I think there's like seventies never won a championship, 148 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: first Team All Pro once. After that, Russell Wilson, who's 149 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: not eligible, Cam Newton, I'm sorry, guys, he's not getting 150 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Boomers Siasin also not getting in. 151 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: Joe Fleisman, Um, I don't think he's going to get in. 152 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: Uh he he. He will lobby forever to get in. 153 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: But it was fun having Richard Sherman and a bunch 154 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: of his alcal lights come after me on social media, 155 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: had fun with it. It was Tuesday, and now we 156 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: move on. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk 157 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: lineup in the nation.

I 160 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about one thing real quick. And again, 161 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: part of this is me not wanting football to end, 162 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: you know, like the season's over, no more games, and 163 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm a little a little down on the dumps. And 164 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: now the trusting part of me is excited that I 165 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: don't have to comb through injury reports. I don't have 166 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: to go through uh beat writers and look for edges 167 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: on gambling and try to beat the market. Like that's 168 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: as exciting as that is. For the entire season, that's 169 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: draining five months NonStop. You can't take time off of 170 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: that stuff if you want to win and make money, 171 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: which is obviously what I want to do. Um And 172 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: so the tough part is losing football right his season's over. 173 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like, man, I've got 174 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: some free time, which is nice. So what do I 175 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: do in my free time? I'm walking the dog and um, 176 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: I see this random somebody either tweets it at me 177 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: or I saw on Instagram or something. But this is 178 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: how good of an athlete Cooper Cup was. So Cooper 179 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: Cup played high school football and um high school basketball 180 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: in the state of Washington. Cooper Cup was on like 181 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: the number one team in the state of Washington, number 182 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: one basketball team. His his school was Top Dog and 183 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: they were awesome. In the state tournament, they faced off 184 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: against Zach Levine, who was the top recruit in the 185 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: state of Washington, and obviously Cooper cup assignment was, Hey, 186 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: you've got a kind of guard, Zach Levine. And what 187 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: happens Cooper Cup locks him downs. Lavine scores four points 188 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: in the first half, and Cooper Cups team wins by 189 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: like thirty points or whatever. I mean, Folks, you know 190 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm in the tank for Cooper Cup. This dude is 191 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: something else. Now that there is some video on YouTube, 192 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: if you look it up, um, Cooper Cup Zach Levin, Uh, 193 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: you can't see much head to head. Cooper Cup has 194 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: kind of an awkward jumper, but it's a good jumper. 195 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I'm I'm just in the tank 196 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup at this point, right, what's not to 197 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: love about this guy? He just automatic always gets open, 198 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: makes all the clutch plays like it's just awesome. And 199 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: I just I can't. I just don't want football to end. 200 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: So I'm still reliving, um, you know, watching some Super 201 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: Bowl highlights and going down rabbit holes like a Cooper 202 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Cup basketball um from high school. Like the guy's just 203 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: a sick athlete. Um. But the reality is, guys, NFL 204 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: is really over. Season's over. It's kind of a bummer. UM. 205 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: I had a hot take that Bengals fans did not 206 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: at all they release the Cincinnati Bengals opponents for out um, 207 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: and I looked at him. I said, and it looks 208 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: like about eight and nine no playoffs, and all these 209 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: Bengal fans get so upset, Like what are you talking about. 210 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, I said on cow Heard show 211 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: last week. I will one be betting the Bengals a 212 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: wind total under as soon as I can. I'm just 213 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: telling you right now, the Baltimore Ravens will be really, 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: really good next year. I think the Browns will be better. 215 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: I don't know about the Steelers, but there are other 216 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: opponents they gotta play the Buffalo Bills. They get them 217 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: at home. They also have Miami at home. They have 218 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons at home, Panthers at home. Now we know 219 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: the NFC South is not very good, so that's a 220 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: huge win um for that division with them able to 221 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: play the Panthers and and uh Falcons at home. The 222 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 1: road games outside of the division, they gotta go to 223 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: the Fox Borto place to page. It's they got to 224 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: go to New Orleans and faces the Saints. They gotta 225 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: go play the Jets again in East Rutherfford, So we'll 226 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: give them another loss just like last year. Yeah, you 227 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: know it, give another loss. Uh. They gotta go to 228 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: Raymond James to play Tampa. So listen, yes, they do 229 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: have to go face the Chiefs. Oh no, wait, looks 230 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: like that one is in Ohio, Kansas City, Cowboys on 231 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: the road, Titans on the road. I'm just listen. It's 232 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,119 Speaker 1: way too early given free agency to Bengals have a 233 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: a metric ton of cash to spend there already. And 234 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: I do respect this for the Bengals fans and I'm 235 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: not hating, but Bengals fans will be getting at least one, 236 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: maybe two new offensive linemen like they can go out 237 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: and spend like a drunken sailor. Now, obviously you gotta 238 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: be careful where your shop. I famously remember the Giants 239 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: going and shopping at the New England Patriots and saying, 240 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: we want Nate's Soldier. We're gonna pay them all the money. 241 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: Nate's Soldier has been an epic disaster, So just be careful. 242 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: Which you're targeting Bengals fans, and we're gonna do a 243 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: lot of that on the show. Um, targeting some guests 244 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: who will break down free agency and obviously the combine 245 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: will be betting on the combine. I think I found 246 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: a guy I don't think he's ever done a podcast, 247 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: never been on the radio and over TV, who we're 248 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: going to bring on to handicaps some NFL combine. I 249 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: don't personally know him, um, but I think remember Um, 250 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: we had t a on the on the pod and 251 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: i'd have I kind of I don't want to say 252 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: I found the guy, but um, you know he had 253 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: tweeted at me like I don't know five six years 254 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: ago and I was like, oh, this guy's got some 255 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: interesting takes on the gambling front. And I started bringing 256 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: him on my Saturday radio show. And now he's like 257 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: gets a job with Warren Sharp uh and then starts 258 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: his own shop. And I'm like, I like that, you know, 259 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: kind of like discovering people are beating the masses to somebody. 260 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: And I think this new guy who I'm gonna do. 261 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: We might do some college basketball with him more combine 262 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: whatever he's up for. Hopefully he'll want to come on. Um. 263 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: You know, I just like finding new guys and trying 264 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: to help people out and and bring them to the forefront. 265 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's quickly get to the NBA to wrap 266 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: up the pod. Um. I'm gonna save some Kyler Murray 267 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: stuff I heard because I had to ask around. You know, 268 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: I pretty vociferous in my defense of Kyler Murray. And 269 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: you know you always gotta be careful with these young, 270 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: rich KYLD athletes. UM, I don't know. I'm just gonna 271 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: save it. It's nothing massive. It does definitely lead one 272 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: to think, boy, this guy is pretty immature. Um, it's 273 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: not bad, it's just immature. So we'll hold off on Kyla. 274 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: Let's see what the next domino is to fall in 275 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: that situation. I will I can't resist saying this, though, 276 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: Kyler is from Texas. What if, big what if? What 277 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: if the Houston Texans called and said, hey, we know you, 278 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: uh you got a kind of disgrunted the quarterback there. Well, 279 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray loved in the state of Texas, high school legend, 280 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, spurn the long Horns for Oklahoma. Hey, maybe 281 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: he comes to the Houston Texans and we give you 282 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson. Watson reunites with DeAndre Hopkins and Cliff Kingsbury 283 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: as their coach. I'm just floating that after that. That's 284 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: a super duper long shot. I'm just putting it out there. Um, 285 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: I think it would be fascinating. I can't imagine trading 286 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: Kyler on his rookie deal. But what Kyler even want 287 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: to go to Houston. They don't have any talent there. 288 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: That what you're supposed to do is build the team 289 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: and the roster and the shell, then put the quarterback in. 290 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: This would be the opposite bringing a quarterback. You gotta 291 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: have to pay Kyler a ton of money and you 292 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: don't have any talent on the roster. That's not smart. 293 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: Kyler is not going to succeed there, So it doesn't 294 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: totally make sense, but it's interesting, all right, Let's quickly 295 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: get to the NBA. I read this lengthy piece from 296 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: Ramona Shelburne and WOS about why James Harden. You know, 297 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: the everything behind why James Harden and and Ben Simmons, 298 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: why that deal went down and how it went down. 299 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: That's an interesting TikTok of the you know the two 300 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: gms and the history and what went wrong. But one 301 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: thing is missing from the story, and essentially, how did 302 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: James Harden go from I'm a superstar in Houston. I 303 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: want to play with Kevin Durant. We lost barely to 304 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: the Bucks because Kevin Durant told was on the line. 305 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: How did Harden go from all that two I don't 306 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: want to sign an extension, get me out of here. 307 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: And that is missing, like what happened to Harden? Now, 308 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Harden does not have an agent, so no agent's gonna 309 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: leak anything hard and is very to himself like his nightlife. 310 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm just telling I can sniff it out right now. 311 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: I can already tell you guys, and again, no reporting, 312 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: this is just me reading tea leaves monitoring players. James 313 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: Harden did not jive with Kyrie Irving, they just they 314 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: just did not It's obvious Kevin Dury was barely there. 315 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: He was hurt. Kyrie on the road games, James Harden 316 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: like something. I would not be shocked if something went down. 317 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: Remember it was that West Coast trip recently where Harden 318 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: had that terrible game, catastrophic against the Kings. Kyrie playing 319 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: in West Coast games because they're on the road, so 320 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: it feels like something kind of fell apart, and I 321 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: would love for somebody to tell the real James Harden 322 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving story. I'm sure there's something juicy there. And 323 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: then of course Harden takes a little shot at Kyrie 324 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: on on Tuesday when he met with the media. Essentially, 325 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: James Harden was basically saying, Hey, I'm just I just 326 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: want to be around guys who are willing to do 327 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: anything to win anything. He's not wrong, Guys, he ain't wrong. 328 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: We know Kyrie Irving was not willing to do whatever 329 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: takes a win. James are an exact quote. We can 330 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: control our own destiny. I needed to be around guys 331 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: that I know want to win and are willing to 332 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to win. I've listen I've been 333 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: steadfast in this. I don't know that Kyrie Irving wants 334 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: to win. I don't know what Kyrie Irving wants. I 335 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: don't think anybody does. I don't know that Kyrie knows, 336 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you I if he was willing to 337 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: do anything to win, you get the VAX. Everybody's gotten 338 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: the VAC and wants to play and win. Everyone He's 339 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: the only holdout in the NBA that is. Obviously it's 340 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: like hardened not did it, did not deal with him well? 341 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: And I can't really false hard and I mean Kyrie 342 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: Irving's a little batshit crazy.

That being said, you know, I'm out here 347 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: defending Ben Simmons, which is a tough sell, no doubt about, 348 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: a very very tough sell. But I'm a Ben Simmons guy. 349 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna work. Wonders for him and Kevin 350 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: Durant and Seth Curry. Oh, by the way, let's check 351 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: in on the Sixers. How do they do Tuesday? Let's 352 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: see here. Oh, look at that. They love my forty 353 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: eight points the Sixers did to Boston and the Sixers 354 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: were at home. Oh oh interesting, Yeah, look at that. 355 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: Joel Embi the alleged m v P minus thirty four 356 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: in the plus minus Tobias Harris minus forty Matisse thybel 357 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: still can't shoot the basketball. I don't know how you 358 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: guys think. Honestly, James Harden's gonna come in and fix this. 359 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm steadfast, I don't. I don't think this 360 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: is like an actionable wager. But seventy Sixers losing in 361 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: the first round right now, blindly, I would definitely bet that. 362 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: If you could just tell me will they get out 363 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: of the first round, I will just bet no. Now, 364 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: you can't get it a line because you don't know 365 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: about injuries, you don't know who their opponent is. Um 366 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: as it stands right now, the Sixers will be the 367 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: five seed and they would play four Cleveland. They would 368 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: probably beat Cleveland. I mean, Cleveland's okay, but they're not 369 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: that good. I just think the top three are that good, Miami, 370 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: Milwaukee and Brooklyn if they ever get back up there, 371 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: and and this Boston team is looking good Man nine 372 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: wins in a row, Brown and Tatum making moves. Uh 373 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: there six Um, I will I'll just I'll go down 374 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: swinging on this one. I think Brooklyn um, if they somehow, 375 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: somehow are able to draw the Sixers, they would in 376 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: the first round, assuming every let's just say, everybody's healthy 377 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: and beats healthy, hard and healthy k D. I don't 378 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: see the Sixers getting out of the first round. If 379 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: they have to play the Heat, the Bucks or the Nets, 380 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: it's a definite loss Celtics, I think, probable loss. And 381 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: then really there's no other options unless um the Sixers 382 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: fall to the play in. And what's weird is there's 383 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: not a lot separating the East, Like right now, Philly 384 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: is fifth, two and a half out, the Brooklyn Nets 385 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: are six and a half out, and there the eighth seed. 386 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: So like a lot's going to happen there um in 387 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: the East. And the other NBA thing that I kind 388 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: of wanted to uh touch on was this this story 389 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: about how the l A Lakers um could have made 390 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: a move at the deadline for John Wall but did not. 391 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: And I keep coming back to this. I don't it's 392 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: not fully formulated. So I'm just gonna talk through it, 393 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: and you guys can internalized and then hit me with 394 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: your thoughts. So James Harden wanted to get rid of 395 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: Chris Paul and Houston and bring in Russell Westbrook, right, 396 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: a couple of l A kids, let's figure it out. 397 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: It did not work, spectacular disaster. Lebron and Anthony Davis 398 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: met with Russell Westbrook, like we want to bring this 399 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: guy in. So far, I mean, I don't want to 400 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: call it a disaster, but it's just not going well 401 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: their ninth in the West. I mean, honestly, I don't 402 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: even know if they're gonna get to six. Nevertheless, what 403 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: is it about Russell Westbrook that James Harden saw and 404 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: Lebron and Anton Davis saw that nobody else sees? What 405 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: is it? Because this whole like playing hard and getting 406 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: triple doubles and dunking and like the athleticism, Like I don't, 407 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's so weird that NBA players like stars, Hardened, 408 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: Lebron and a d are stars and they all wanted 409 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. Any fan, any casual observer, can look at stats, 410 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: can watch Westbrook play, can see the shooting percentages and 411 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: be like this is not Why would you want to 412 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: pair with Russell Westbrook. We're in the era of shooting 413 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: and you're getting a nonshooter. How could Harden, Lebron and 414 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis all see something in Russ that no fans 415 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: can really see. And again, maybe there are pockets of 416 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook fans, but and sure you're blinded initially by 417 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: the oh, it's gonna work out great. But like it's 418 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: painfully obvious that Russ is not a great fit with 419 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: the Lakers. I mean, if he were to be the 420 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: second team guy and accept that, which it doesn't sound like. 421 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: Remember he missed a game over the weekend because he 422 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: claimed the rotation, meaning benched in the fourth quarter or 423 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: in overtime of that game. I think it was the 424 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: next game messed with his like body and his cheek 425 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it, and that's what 426 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: that's legitimately why he sat out the next game. I mean, 427 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: bruise ego would have been probably better to put on 428 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: the injury repoord that being said, I just I'm missing 429 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: the Russell Westbrook love. And again, I get people like him. 430 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: He's fun to athletic, and but this guy has never 431 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: been a winning player ever ever. Look at the defensive gaffs. 432 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: They're bad guys, They're terrible. The opponents don't respect the shooting. 433 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: I just again, I said it last week on the Potter, 434 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: maybe two weeks ago. I don't know where Russell Westbrook 435 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: goes from here. I think he's out of the league 436 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: in two years. I just don't think he's long for 437 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: the NBA. When you can't shoot and you can't defend, 438 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: and when James Harden kicks you to the curb, and 439 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: then when Lebron and a d basically are trying to 440 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: kick you to the curb, which we know they are, 441 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: Come on, guys, it'll be a stunner of Westbrook's on 442 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: the team next year, absolute stunner. Where is he? I 443 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: have no clue, but it won't be the Lakers. All right, 444 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: that's it for today. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
