1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports radio.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: You know what the problem is with these kids in

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: this uh, these gen zs stocks me. I said, I said,

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: can you make a copy for me today? And he

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: looked at me like what he literally, I don't know

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: how to do this?

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: Are you literally the conversation like a week and a

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: half ago, didn't we?

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 4: Did?

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: We?

11
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 4: Really? Yeah?

12
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 3: You asked me, when was the last time I made

13
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 3: a copy?

14
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

15
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: Right, right right?

16
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: But because the thing was so not to go too

17
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: far inside baseball. But the document that I have, Steve's

18
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: on the computer. He looks like it's probably already gone,

19
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: which is fine.

20
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: It's fine.

21
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: If Steve's turning to use the computer, you can do

22
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: whatever the hell he wants with you, So hand up

23
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: my bet.

24
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 3: I should have printed out too.

25
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: I didn't.

26
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: But you may find this hard to believe if you're

27
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: under the age of thirty, but are twenty five. But

28
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: there's these machines, the same ones. In fact, when you

29
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: go to work and you got out the printer, it

30
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: can just copy the same page over and over again.

31
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: So if you just print once, copy twice, or print

32
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: three times, same impact.

33
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: I live in New York, No printers in sight in

34
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 4: these boxes we all live in. So making a copy,

35
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 4: you gotta run an errand and make a copy.

36
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: Well, I go to work.

37
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: I put a lot of things at work, especially work

38
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: related stuff.

39
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: All right.

40
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: Broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios is Martin

41
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Weiss and Alex Monaco here on a All Star Saturday.

42
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: It's been an All Star week, which means not a

43
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: lot of games have been played. Baseball finally popping back

44
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: in the flow of things. But the w NBA All

45
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: Star Game in Indianapolis has been the attention of.

46
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: At least us without Quesh, at least us.

47
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: A great question was Caitlyn Clark after suffering a groin

48
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: injury on Tuesday against the Sun, which reading that backwards,

49
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: I was reading that update and it's like it says

50
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: Sun and then two next to it. It's like, wait,

51
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: does she get hurt on Sunday or to non so

52
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark obviously not participating in the playing part of

53
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: all of this, and contrary to popular reports, contrary to

54
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 2: some of the news I saw come across with maybe

55
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: the AP wire. You know, things are hard to discern

56
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: what's real what's not. I'm pretty sure they're still gonna

57
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: have the game.

58
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: Oh, the game's on.

59
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: I'm pretty I feel confident the game is still going

60
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: to be playing.

61
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

62
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: Can we get it up on one of the TVs

63
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: in the studio just in case we can make sure

64
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: that the video evidence that this game is going to

65
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: be played without Caitlin Clark, because I was told by

66
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: many reported, like many people who I value highly in

67
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: this business, and a ton of opinions that exist. I

68
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: hear that without Caitlin Clark, why does the WNBA even exist?

69
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: Why the hot take, Mark hot Ta, why does it

70
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: even exist?

71
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: Otherwise, why why why does it even exist?

72
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you've been watching the w NBA for years.

73
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: I have.

74
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: You've had some spot on takes, both on the air

75
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: and off.

76
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Like honestly, I liked it better when I was when

77
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: it was like my little kind of pet thing in

78
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: over here, somewhere to the side.

79
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, But this year there's so many fascinating storyline There

80
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 4: are numerous interesting teams, a lot of interesting rookies as

81
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 4: we know. And I was watching the three point contest

82
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: and I'm a part of the All Star Weekend.

83
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: I was enjoying myself.

84
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: So last year's w NBA All Star Game was a

85
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: kind of one of those like a twist, right, you

86
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: know they did the Four Nations for hockey, they did

87
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: something similar in the WNBA, but it's like WNBA All

88
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: Stars versus you know, the US National team, right, and

89
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: that was it twenty twenty five. So this year that

90
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: that gets chippy and that gets intense. However, as I'm like,

91
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I call researching is doing a lot of heavy lifting

92
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: as I say this, but that was those researching this.

93
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: There's like, there will be double teams that will be

94
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: like this is a game in which, like generally they

95
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: play hard, which is kind of what you're looking for.

96
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Like in Major League Baseball All Star Game, No one

97
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: is just throwing meatballs across the home Now by the

98
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: time you get to the eighth ninth inning, are you

99
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: seeing Otani and Judge through the third time through the

100
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: under No, But the guys out there are trying, which

101
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: will be the same situation for the women who playing this.

102
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing it, and honestly, I think

103
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: that we are at a place where you know, on

104
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: a TV show, you may have a main character like

105
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: Ted Lasso, for example, Sure, ted Lasso I think it

106
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: was the first or second season.

107
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: I can't remember which one, but if you're familiar with

108
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: both of them, just take the walk, all right.

109
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: So ted Lasso is clearly the main character of the show,

110
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: and that's what they focus on. But one episode they

111
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: focus on the assistant coach and they go all with

112
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: the assistant coach and it follows and all of a sudden,

113
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: you see his love life, you see how he gets

114
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: to work every day, and it changes your perspective. They

115
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: go with the manager, the young manager who goes to

116
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: the other side. Sorry for the spoiler alert, it's been

117
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: out forever the manager, and you get a different perspective

118
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: of him, and you see him and now you're more

119
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: gratated to that character when everybody comes back together.

120
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 4: The Bear took a whole season to do this season three.

121
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: By the way, if you want to skip through the

122
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: Bear season three, get right to four, save yourself, because

123
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: they go back to look Ahead Butt, Yes, chef, yes Chef, indeed,

124
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: back to you.

125
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: But see what I'm saying, Like you become more familiar

126
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: with these other stars, You become more familiar with these

127
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: other characters, and all of a sudden, you either like

128
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: you probably like to show more forward. I think a

129
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: lot of people with the bear from what I could

130
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: tell a little. Nobody likes anything on Twitter anyway, So

131
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: right now, yeah, would it be better if Caitlyn Clark

132
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: was participating in WNBA weekend?

133
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 4: I agree? I agree, I agree.

134
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: However, you haven't a moment now where if you have

135
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: just dived into the w NBA for Caitlyn Clark. Cool,

136
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,680

Speaker 2: best or twenty two best women players? Like women playing basketball?

142
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: we're talking about now across the league. This is the

143
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: perfect time to go ahead and find if you could,

144
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: if you find you could only watch Caitlin Clark, there's

145
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: somebody out there for you to find and watch in

146
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: this game.

00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot.

148
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: I love what I mean. I like the idea that

149
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: you have team Caitlin. You got in a feasis team.

150
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,440

Speaker 4: turnover also that Commissioner's Cup going on a third year,

00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: the Thunder in the tournament, as we know within the NBA.

156
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: That's new. We have that storyline.

00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: There's just a lot not to mention who you've been

163
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: all over before everyone was the page Bucker storyline, which

164
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: is fascinating in and of itself.

165
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: That's honestly who I am kind of hoping rises to

166
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: the occasion tonight because that is the page Beckers is

167
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 2: to me right now, the foil for Caitlin Clark.

168
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: Every hero needs a villain.

169
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: Every villain needs to hear tell right, like you can't

170
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: just like, in order to have greatness, you also have

171
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: to have you have to have in order to have greatness,

172
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: you have to have a few things. Yeah, First of all,

173
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: you have to have terrible. You can't have terrible without

174
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: you can't have great without terrible. You also have people

175
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: pushing you that you know, higher and higher and higher.

176
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: You also have like ghosts to chase quote unquote, or

177
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: you see across the league where you see Larry and Magic.

178
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: They're pushing each other, right, you know what I'm saying,

179
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: Like the that's how I think players reach their maximum potential.

180
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: Peyton and Tom Brady, we're pushing each other.

181
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: Now.

182
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: Obviously Tom Brady a lot more success than that.

183
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: But you look at the other quarterbacks on AFC, like, oh, oh, Lamar,

184
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: you got an MVP, Josh Allen, let me go get

185
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: one like that type of that's the competition and inside

186
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: the competition of the games is the competition of the greats.

187
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: We mentioned quarterbacks. How many quarterbacks are on this court tonight.

188
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: If we're talking about leaders of their team, Angel Reaes

189
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: a quarterback, without question, I would put Diggins in that

190
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: in that category. We know Beckers is we know as

191
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 4: as everyone knows. Asia Wilson's been a franchise quarterback over

192
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: there in Las Vegas. So there's just emerging. There's rookies,

193
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: there are stars, and one thing we know about the

194
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: w Martin it is a physical league I'm actually very

195
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: excited to see what kind of All Star game we see.

196
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 4: Do we see more of an NBA style where it's

197
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: a lot more shot making and everyone kind of allows

198
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: everyone to do their thing and showcase their skills. Are

199
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 4: we going to watch a what we see every night

200
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: in the WNBA, A hard nosed fuck game. Let's say

201
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 4: you on that.

202
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: I think it'd be closer to the second, just because

203
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: I think what happens for a lot of this, like

204
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: the idea of the business decision does not exist in

205
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: the w NBA in the same way it does in

206
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: the NBA, where if I am standing under the rim,

207
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about somebody, you know, dunking all over

208
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: my back in the in the w NBA, and as

209
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: a result of that, you're pushed up more like the

210
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: whole verticality at the rim does not exist in the

211
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: same way. So the game, while having the same rules

212
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: of the game, is played a little differently. Physicality is

213
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 2: the way that you gain an advantage, right, A lot

214
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: of guys jump over somebody. There's nobody jumping over in

215
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: this all you go over or through. If you can't

216
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: go over, well we're gonna go through. I love it.

217
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: Also, we got a top tier rebound off between Angel

218
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: and Asia who are on different teams, which I think

219
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: is gonna be fascinating. There Again, if you watch this league,

220
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 4: there is a lot of riveting storylines and I'm excited

221
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: as we continue to talk.

222
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: So I actually saw you know, I'm not the gambler

223
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: I once was, because I'm gambling with my life apparently

224
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: getting married.

225
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: Just get getting married.

226
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: But honestly, with the amount of good things costs, I

227
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: could buy two cars, right, so in.

228
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,479
Speaker 3: Two parlay right exactly.

229
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: So I haven't been betting in the same way, but

230
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: I did see a few sprinkles. I thought I was

231
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: maybe thirty five to one Angel Reese to win the

232
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: MVP of this guy. I saw that that worries me

233
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 2: because she's so popular, right Like, I am not a

234
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: fan of betting on the most popular player when she

235
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: may not be and well, in this case, is not.

236
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: The best player.

237
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: That cause gives me cost trick a certain because I

238
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: know the books work, even though if I can't beat

239
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: them all the time, I may understand how they work.

240
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 4: Listen, as you used to alluded to it. Ocean's eleven

241
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: Terry Bennet did not. Benedict did not build that city

242
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: off of winning tickets at i e. Everyone going with

243
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 4: the chocked your point, so you're onto something there for this.

244
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: Even so, the last non guard to win the w

245
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: NBA Alsar Game MVP was Maya More. Oh wow, right,

246
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: so Kansas Parker the last true post player, which is

247
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: kind of what I'm thinking about this Angel rees Asia Wilson,

248
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I'm looking at one of the

249
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: forwards that's probably the player to dominate this game.

250
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: The year, probably too in that come over.

251
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely so I'm just thinking about who am I betting on?

252
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: Who I like. We'll keep an eye on it for you,

253
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: don't you worry.

254
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: But going speaking of those the desert out there in Vegas,

255
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: two moves, I wonder if they moved any of the odds.

256
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this city got two new additions. Did the

257
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: odds move one bit? We'll get to that coming up

258
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,320

Speaker 3: Yes, sir, We'll get to your tweets throughout the show.

278
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: So the news he broke Earlier today, Marcus Smart agreed

279
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: to a contract buy out with the Washington Wizards and

280
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: signs our plans to sign, intends to sign, will eventually

281
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: sign a two year, eleven million dollar deal with the

282
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers. Par Sham's Sharania now

283
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: mark Smart with twenty twenty two defensive player of the year.

284
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: That's cool.

285
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal a couple of days ago, agreed to a

286
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: much wealthier contract buy out than Marcus Smart did with

287
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: the Wizards Beals with the Suns. He's joining the Clippers

288
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: two years, eleven million dollars with a player option.

289
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: I found it.

290
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: Very funny and ironic that both of these deals were

291
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: for two years and eleven million dollars with ex Wizards,

292
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: with ex Wizards, with ex Wizards who were paid to

293
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 2: leave right but both these years for two years eleven

294
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: million dollars. I found it funny because both of them

295
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: made me feel kind of the exact same way.

296
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: Really was.

297
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: All right, I mean, wow.

298
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: Honestly, you might real fuck.

299
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: When I saw this happen, I thought that the that

300
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: the first day of free agency, there's a lot of

301
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: talking heads saying free agency is dead. Oh no, whatever

302
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: will we do if there's not a big free agent move?

303
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: And I was like, this is so overblown.

304
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: Who cares if there's a big free agent move, We

305
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: don't there are free agent moves.

306
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: By nature.

307
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: One will be like, we don't know what the big

308
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: free agent move is yet, like you know, the like

309
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: the big free agent move last year, was Isaiah Hartenstein

310
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: going to Oklahoma City because Chet Holmgren was invisible in

311
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: that finals And no, seriously, right and I Hartenstein was

312
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: able to go in there and play well in that postseason.

313
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying it's the reason why they won,

314
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: but when Chet wasn't playing well, they had a guy

315
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: they signed. Now, when he was signed, I don't think

316
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: anybody in New York was.

317
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 4: Like, what are you doing? We can how can you lay?

318
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: I heard go what are you doing? What are you doing?

319
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: I don't think that was happening. I like that New

320
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: York impression right there.

321
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: That's how.

322
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: But so the biggest free agent move of the summer

323
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: will eventually reveal itself.

324
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: I'll be shocked if it's one of these two.

325
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, though, we've only seen Marcus Smart marn

326
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 4: in fifty four games over the last two seasons. I

327
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: went back to triple check. This was not just a

328
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: player for the Boston Celtics. And you mentioned Defensive Player

329
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 4: of the Year, and that's not just Defensive player of

330
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: the Year, that's three time All Defense First Team Marcus Smart.

331
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: How did he show up in pivotal moments when you

332
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 4: go play for the Wizards with a side of Memphis

333
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: in the last two years. You don't even play competitive basketball.

334
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: This is my angle with Aighton. Now you're going to

335
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 4: be playing in the bright lights again. This is a

336
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: guy that averaged fifteen five and four in the NBA Finals.

337
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: He had three games of three threes, one game of four.

338
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: That's music to Luca's ears. And I just saw it,

339
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: as ESPN tweeted before we got on, Luca helped in

340
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: the recruiting process. That's not nothing, Martin.

341
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: So it also and apparently it's heavily reported that James

342
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: Harden did a similar role in Bradley Beal's recruitment to

343
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, which cause, that's.

344
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: A little funny though, that's a little well.

345
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: All right, so I'll all right, I'll we'll confect the

346
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: momalist stick on the mark your smart thing. Here's the

347
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: problem with the mark you smart deal, Like you've already

348
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: outlined some of it. Fifty four games in the last

349
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: two years, played twenty minutes a game last year. Player

350
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: who is maybe a year younger than me, you know,

351
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: two years younger than me. So I know that he's

352
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: put it like this. We're both past our primes. Okay,

353
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: and so and I'm I'm thirty five for the record,

354
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: but so so, Mark, you're smart and that when Washington

355
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: and when Boston moved off of him, that's when they

356
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: won the finals. Like they were in the Eastern Conference

357
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: finals all this time, and they moved off of Marcus

358
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: Smart and added Drew Holliday and that's when they won

359
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: the finals. That is not an indictment of Marcus Smart necessarily,

360
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: but it's just telling me, if you are a team

361
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: that has expectations of winning championships, right, I'm not sure

362
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: how well Marcus Smart fits on your team.

363
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: If you are a team with a.

364
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: Bunch of young No, you told me that Marcus Smart

365
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 2: was gonna go be a Charlotte Hornet for two years

366
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: eleven million dollars, I'd be like, that's a great deal.

367
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: To day if he can help LaMelo and some of

368
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: these guys grow up a bit.

369
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 4: Can he be though, what the Lakers need him to be,

370
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 4: which is a two way player, a three and D guy,

371
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: and an agitator slash disruptor. That's what I remember Marcus

372
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 4: Smart being, particularly in that Golden State Finals.

373
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: I just can't imagine that at a high level, like

374
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: O say for a consistent amount of time, Like, can

375
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: you ask me, can Marcus Smart do a one game?

376
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 4: Sure? Four games?

377
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: Sure?

378
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: Can he do it?

379
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: Sixteen wins before I lose four to a row?

380
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 4: I guess if you're a Laker fan, and that remains

381
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: to be seen. But if you're a Laker fan, Martin,

382
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: you go, all right, we lost Dorian are three in

383
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: d main acquisition this season, this past season, we.

384
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: Got to do something.

385
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 4: I think you're not not upset if you land Smart today.

386
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: I mean at two years to eleven million dollars, I

387
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: cannot get like, I cannot get freaked out and lose

388
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: my mind about it.

389
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: But when I look at the Lakers offseason as a whole.

390
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: Because you were saying, can can Marcus Smart be what

391
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: the Lakers need to be?

392
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 7: Uh?

393
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: What the Lakers need is a seventh footer who could

394
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: block shots at rebound and get down the court.

395
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: It gets a lot from look at Dodgets.

396
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: Well, don't worry, Aytan's in town, baby.

397
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: Like I said, what the Lakers need is a seventh

398
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: footer who could block shots at rebound.

399
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: Cats look at Dog.

400
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: So I just kind of feel like we know, sure,

401
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, But when your big free Asian acquisitions are

402
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: two guys who were paid by their jobs to leave.

403
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 4: I just have to say this because it's the same

404
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 4: sentiment with Ayton.

405
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: You go to Portland, you're.

406
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: Relevant in today's NBA, which I'm we'll get to later

407
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: in the show. I cannot be more upset with Dame

408
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: going back to where it's comfortable, but putting on that

409
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 4: for now Ayton. And this is off the rain man

410
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 4: Noggin Martin. I believe that twenty one points in nineteen

411
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: rebounds in an NBA Finals Game one win, if I'm

412
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: not mistaken, that's who DeAndre Ayton is. Some of these

413
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: guys because you're rich. This is and this is actually

414
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: a shout out to my girlfriend's dad saying when you

415
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: pay someone that much, you take the venom out of

416
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 4: their belly. It's an old school mantra, but the reality

417
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 4: is you take a guy like Ayton out of an

418
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 4: NBA Finals team to Portland where he's not even playing

419
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: five hundred basketball, and if you don't have that deal

420
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 4: and you you do fall by the wayside when all

421
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: eyes are on you in Hollywood. With these two men,

422
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: I think you're getting the best versions of smart and eight.

423
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: You might you might, so I guess, and so to

424
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: that perspective then and from to tell me does this

425
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: extrapolate further out? So I guess we're seeing fifty forty,

426
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: ninety and seventy games played for Bradley Beal down at the.

427
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 3: End of time.

428
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 4: See, that's a whole nother recruitment.

429
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Well the page is when the team goes

430
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: down to Anglewood.

431
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: Well, this this is the younger This is the younger brother,

432
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 4: This is the bad Luck Clippers, this is the this

433
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: is the Mets to the Yankees. If we're giving another

434
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 4: comparison as far as in town rivals and where they

435
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 4: are on the hierarchy, this is Jay V Devarsity James Harden,

436
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: who's bounced around in how many jerseys in the last

437
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 4: several years.

438
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 3: It's almost laughable.

439
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: You're recruiting people he just wanted his money and ideally

440
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: a warm climate. Now he's happy as a clam. The

441
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: reality is he's recruiting a guy that I'm over here

442
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: double checking Martin fifty five and fifty one in two

443
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: years in Phoenix they played under Bradley Beal games. This

444
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: guy is an under five hundred player across the board. See,

445
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 4: you recruit a guy who's from a wizard culture, it

446
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: remains to be seen if he's a winner. You recruit

447
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: a guy like Marcus Smart who played under Brad Stevens,

448
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: went to the NBA finals, tasted that court, that's a

449
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: different recruitment in my humble opinion. Okay, I could buy that.

450
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: I could buy you know, he's been to the playoffs.

451
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: One a highlight, Oh you know, I had highlight. This

452
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: is the thing that really gets me though, And after

453
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: this we'll kick it to Steve. But the thing that

454
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: really I do not understand this at all, And maybe

455
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: it's just like a function of agents knowing they can

456
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: get it out of team, so they get it. The

457
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 2: amount of player options that are offered in contracts is

458
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: staggering to me. I like, what was it that Bradley

459
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal just signed Brad Beial which is over one

460
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: hundred and some million dollars a player options? Damian Lillard,

461
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: I have one more achilles than he does the option.

462
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: That's honestly incredible. You make a great point like in

463
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 4: the NF and now you're putting Bradley Beale in seventy

464
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 4: three degrees in Sonny with a light breeze. You think

465
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: he's showing up and showing out. The man is fed

466
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: and he's never won in his entire career. He's up

467
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: there with Kirk Cousins getting paid and not producing wins.

468
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that contract was the worst contract in the

469
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 4: NBA over there in PHX.

470
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: But it's just I just after, you know, like, if

471
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: it all goes right, right, if it all goes according

472
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: to plan and the Clippers win a championship and Bradley

473
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: Beal is a twenty point twenty five point per game score,

474
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: plays seventy five games in the regular season, Hell, third

475
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 2: team All NBA, guess what he's gone?

476
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: Do you know why the flair?

477
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: Because he's going to be a free agent and somebody's

478
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: gonna pay a twenty seven million dollars a year.

479
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: Now, let's kick it over to Steve to Sayer.

480
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: Steve am I off on this because I feel like

481
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago player options were like reserved for Lebron James.

482
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 7: Actually, the thing I've hated most about NBA contracts is,

483
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 7: like the Marcus Smart story today is that they get

484
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 7: their money and get to pick where they go, Like

485
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 7: you're being rewarded for not being as good as you

486
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 7: used to be.

487
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: Like and if the organization makes the decision they want

488
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 2: to wave whatever, do your thing. But it's just like

489
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: the idea that it's like, you know what, as matter

490
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: of fact, you get to pick next year if we

491
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: want you back. Like Brad Bill at two years and

492
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: eleven million dollars, I like that deal.

493
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 4: Five and a half per.

494
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: Year, no late career.

495
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 7: Everybody's getting the one plus one and announcing it as

496
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 7: a two year deal as if the team has something

497
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 7: to do with This.

498
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,320

499
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,800

00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,960

Speaker 2: Right, No, I feel you like so like watching Rory

561
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: you know, snip snap, snip snap on the seventeen and

562
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 2: eighteen going to the Masters, like playoff, no playoff, playoff,

563
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:10,479

00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: Did he get the Grand Slam?

565
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: And then actually going through that cinematic Okay, it's one

566
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: of the most one of the best things I've seen

567
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: in sports in the last three years. I put it

568
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: even and since sports relaunched past COVID, one of the

569
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 2: most like touching and like I am into this, yeah,

570
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: but it's all going by Friday, Like I don't want

571
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: to watch the next you know, the next opening round.

572
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 3: Okay, So that that's me, So I dive into this

573
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: from that perspective.

574
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: Scottie Scheffler right now had an eagle on seven in

575
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: the third round, fourteen under with a massive massively right,

576
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: and it's like at this.

577
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 4: Point not SA is just his to lose.

578
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: But I'll put it like this, you have to put

579
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: a whole lot of money better to win a whole

580
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: little bit of money on Scotty Sheffler right now.

581
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 3: That's facts. And if he does inc in martinize three

582
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: fourths of the way to that career slam and he's

583
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 3: in great for him.

584
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: I mean, is he a polarizing watch to your point

585
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: about Rory obviously what Tiger was for the sport not

586
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: even close. No, but he is all ball and he

587
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: does show up and he does show out.

588
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: So Scotty was asked earlier this week about you know,

589
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: something along the lines of legacy and how and winning,

590
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: and he gave a really kind of profound answer. I

591
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: want to hear what scott he had to say about,

592
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, kind of on that subject.

593
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 8: Is it great to be able to win tournaments and

594
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 8: to accomplish the things I have in the game of golf.

595
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 8: Yet it brings tears my I just to think about

596
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 8: because it's literally worked my entire life to become good

597
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 8: at the sport. And to have that kind of sense

598
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 8: of accomplishment, I think is a pretty cool feeling, you know,

599
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 8: to get to live out your dreams.

600
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: It's very special.

601
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, I'm not out

602
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 8: here to inspire the next generation of golfers. I don't

603
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 8: I'm not here to inspire somebody else to be the

604
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 8: best player in the world, because what's the point. You know,

605
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 8: this is not a fulfilling life. It's it's fulfilling from

606
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 8: the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a

607
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 8: sense of like the deepest places of your heart.

608
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: Now, Monico, when I heard that from Scheffler earlier this

609
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: week before, like this is the pre tournament media and

610
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: so on, it'say, oh, man, what a profound statement.

611
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: You know, meditative little California or very stoic, very like

612
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: there is no good.

613
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: There is no bad.

614
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: There just is, like, man, you know, what a way

615
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: to live.

616
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: But then today as I looked at the leaderboard and

617
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: I saw he was five strokes up on everybody, eagling seven.

618
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: And if I'm third place in this tournament, I'm like, oh,

619
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: f this guy out of here.

620
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 4: You're not fulfilled? Why don't you take it? You know what, Ricky, Bobby,

621
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: why don't you finish this second every so often?

622
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: You know, finish the second every so when you cal

623
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: Norton get a win, you see how that feels, because

624
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, you know who would love to be unfulfilled

625
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: everybody else, because Gotty Scheffler takes the three wood to

626
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: be two a to everybody.

627
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: Do you think just kind of taking a step back

628
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: for that comment, is it a.

629
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: Different way of winning because you now have lived? I

630
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 4: mean he's winning in rocking up tournaments? Yes, this has

631
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: Kopka rom et cetera. In this tournament because it's a major, sure,

632
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: But week to week it's a fascinating statement, he said.

633
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 4: And I don't know if you feel that way. Maybe

634
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 4: if you're going against a full field seek to.

635
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: Week, I think it has less to do with that.

636
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: But I can appreciate where you're coming from. I think

637
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: there's less to do with that and more to do

638
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: with like I just had a kid a year ago. Remember,

639
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: he was like I might he was ready to pull

640
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: out from the Masters because of whether the birth of

641
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: his child, the timing of it all right. So he

642
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: was prepared to make that decision. He wasn't didn't have to,

643
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: but it was a story at the time. It strikes

644
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: me as a guy who, like I said, that's things

645
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: in his family, not bad things.

646
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: There's things he wants to be there for right wants

647
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: to watch his kid probably take his first walk, say

648
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: his first word.

649
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: And the amount of time that it requires to be

650
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: as dominant at golf as he is.

651
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: You missed that stuff. It's a sacrifice.

652
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: But the thing that I can't shake Matt Fitzpatrick right

653
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: now is in third. He's uh in second place, drop

654
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: drop dropped the third place. I'm sorry he started the round,

655
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: the second and third round he dropped the third place.

656
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: You don't think he works hard, You don't think he's sacrificing.

657
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: You don't say, like, could you imagine if the guy

658
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: ahead of you at whatever your job is, wherever you're at,

659
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: and that guy is like, you.

660
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: Know, I don't even really like this.

661
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: Bleep, So you're saying this is as bad for business.

662
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: No, I'm just I just am putting myself in everybody

663
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: else's shoes. When you've been number one in the world

664
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: for one hundred and forty six out of one hundred

665
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: and fifty three weeks, you know, yeah, it's easy to

666
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: be like, hey, man, you know it's overrated being number

667
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: one in the world. But when you're number one in

668
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: the world for one week, that's the best week of

669
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: your life.

670
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 4: Well, this is why, to give a parallel example here,

671
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: when you go from the French Open and Alcaraz sauces

672
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 4: Cinner in five hours and thirty nine minutes, and then

673
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: at the end of the month Sinner sauces Alcaraz at

674
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: another major in Wimbledon. We need that, we need someone

675
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 4: to center Alcaraz, this man so he can stop talking

676
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: like this because he's tired of winning.

677
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: It's too easy for me and you guys something to

678
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: say old.

679
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 9: I wonder if the big criticism with Scheffler, at least

680
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 9: lately has been at least since he became so dominant,

681
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 9: is that he's just not that interesting of a guy.

682
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 4: That's what it is, Ian, right, It's what you said

683
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: Mark at the top where's the villain? Who's the villain

684
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: to Scheffler right now?

685
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 9: And golf doesn't necessarily have that, But I wonder if

686
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 9: this makes him a little more polarizing of a guy.

687
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: Maybe not interest thing is no, no, I've seen some

688
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: scorch or takes coming off of that, but yeah, I.

689
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 9: Mean exactly because this is a statement that I think

690
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 9: to some people it makes him harder to root for because,

691
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 9: like you said, you know Matt Fitzpatrick, who's at the top.

692
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 9: If someone's really rooting for Matt Fitzpatrick, like he's been

693
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 9: working his whole life, he I don't know if he's

694
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 9: won one before or not, but it's like, you know,

695
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 9: this is everything his life has led up to. Chef

696
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 9: was won multiple times already and he doesn't even feel

697
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 9: fulfilled by it if he does win.

698
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: So it's like, why should I root for that guy?

699
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 4: Martin and I don't have kids, and I don't know

700
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: Ian if you're if you're rocking one, but we're over here, fatherless,

701
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 4: trying to understand this guy winning and then raising a

702
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: kid and what means more.

703
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: But I can't.

704
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: I am sympathetic to while I don't have any kids,

705
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: I am sympathetic to the idea of your life, of

706
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: moving into a new stage of life and feeling differently

707
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: about things that I like. There are things that I

708
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: did not expect to consider, you know, as I'm a

709
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: approach in getting married like I didn't consider you know,

710
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm not we're up against.

711
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 9: Well, that's my point is I just wonder if this

712
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 9: makes it harder for some people to root for him,

713
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 9: and therefore makes it a little more interesting.

714
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: And I think point, I think you can use it

715
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 4: in more ways than one, especially if he blows tomorrow.

716
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 3: Now we're honest to your point is what harder to roof?

717
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: For sure?

718
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: I think more just the better, the more people, the

719
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: more things you say, the more opinions people will have

720
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: of you, and opinion.

721
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: That's the point. We need a rival.

722
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 4: We need to shoot him a cabin out there.

723
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 2: So you know, that was Ian right there, who writes

724
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: for Jets x factor dot com, which I googled this story,

725
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you Jets x factor dot com was

726
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: the third link to pop up.

727
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that, yeah, that's the s c O.

728
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: Yes O yet, but we'll get the Jets made some

729
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: interesting moves. I want to get Monaco's take on as

730
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: a guy who almost got a gang green tat too

731
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 2: last year with Aaron Rodgers and an actual diet in

732
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: the world Jets fan, how do I feel We'll get

733
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: to it next.

734
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

735
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,720

Speaker 3: The Year in the same year. That's right, getting done

743
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: a year early. Alex to me, you know what this says?

744
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: What does it mean?

745
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: This says that both like Aaron Glenn, like he said

746
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: he wanted the job, and everybody's like, yeah, all right,

747
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Okay, you know he said

748
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: he wanted the job, getting this deal done, getting these

749
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: two deals done, because the whole ownership and I'm just

750
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: saying ownership, the whole front office is kind of built

751
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: in Aaron Glenn's vision. Right, he hired the GM Like,

752
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: there's all it's kind of the same way in Chicago.

753
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: It's all kind of Ben Johnson's vision save Ryan Poles.

754
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 2: Same thing in New York to sign and get these

755
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: deals done before ever coaching and actual game.

756
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: Says to me, Aaron.

757
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 2: Glenn wasn't talking, He wasn't talking out the less side

758
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: of his mouth when he said, I am trying to

759
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: be in New York. I wanted to be a New

760
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 2: York Jet. This is the team I wanted to coach,

761
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: because you know this is to me, says, this is

762
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: our core, this is who we're locking up. And the

763
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: best part about it is as we transition and we

764
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers the top of next hour. Yeah,

765
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: talk about Michael Parsons at the top of an hour,

766
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about another professional league that Neils also

767
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 2: is dealing with some finances.

768
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 4: The Jets and a rare move.

769
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: Handled this well before they needed and these deals are

770
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: going to end up looking spectacular. Remember those people who

771
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: bought mortgages when he had a one point nine interest rate.

772
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 4: That's what he is. Yeah.

773
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 3: I love the hands right there too.

774
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: You gave a lot. That's a lot of ethos pathos.

775
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: Look two twenty four year olds. You mentioned offensive player,

776
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 4: defensive player, rookie of the years. This is music to

777
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: Jets fans ears. The number one thing AG comes in

778
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 4: and does out the gate is establish his leaders. There

779
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 4: is big time turnover here at the quarterback position when

780
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: you go from a man who's approaching forty to a

781
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 4: guy still in his athletic prime and justin Fields who

782
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: hasn't really found a home right. So the best thing

783
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 4: you can do in getting him comfortable in his new

784
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 4: habitat is a familiar weapon. And then secondarily, what does

785
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: AG know better than anything in this league how to

786
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: coach up DB's being a dB on this team himself.

787
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you, Martin, this is a trick compound

788
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 4: effect because these guys have the.

789
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: Ear of the locker room.

790
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 4: They've been through the turnover of the last couple of years,

791
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 4: which has been a lot for two twenty four year olds,

792
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 4: And I think it's a perfect timing to lock these

793
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 4: boys in.

794
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I really like these deals. I like the

795
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: deals honestly better than I like the player. Like you know,

796
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: but to me, if for both of them, if you like,

797
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: but if you like these players.

798
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 4: This is how you do it. Now, let me ask

799
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 4: you this, because they're over four to one to just

800
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 4: make the playoffs.

801
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 3: I went as far as.

802
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 4: Saying they're my favorite non playoff team at plus money

803
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 4: in Vegas to run the table and get in maybe

804
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: as a seventh seed in the AFC. Can you go

805
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 4: as far as saying that again, ag inherited the worst

806
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: Lions defense.

807
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: In the league.

808
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 4: He's had two top five rundes in the last two years.

809
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 4: Jets were third in yards again yards allowed on the

810
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 4: defensive side. They come in with a little momentum.

811
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm ready to say they will be competing for a

812
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: playoff spot. I'm not ready to say they will win it.

813
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: I have to look at the odds to be able

814
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: to truly answer your question. But for the layman to

815
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: answer it, I will say I think by like in

816
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: week fourteen, the Jet, like you know, they do the

817
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: end the Hunt playoff graphic, the Jets will.

818
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 3: Be in the middle.

819
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: They won't have clinched the division, but they will be

820
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: right there, squarely in the middle, and they're not gonna

821
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: be over there to the side like seven to eight

822
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: like some teams are.

823
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me throw this to you though.

824
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 4: My guy shot at Eric Coleman, former safety for the

825
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 4: New York Jets, just did a show with him in

826
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: New York this past week. And the main thing he said,

827
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 4: who works for the Jets as well as a broadcaster.

828
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 4: You're not hearing a lot of noise. No, you are

829
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 4: not hearing any Jets offseason talk. That's almost an anomally.

830
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 3: And then I had to go millennial with it.

831
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 4: And you'll appreciate this as I said, what a Lil

832
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 4: Wayne say back in the day, Real gee's moving silence

833
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 4: like lasagna.

834
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Aaron Glenn is. He is a

835
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: leader of.

836
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 4: Men, quietly establishing culture, ready to smack everyone in the

837
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: AFC East Mouth in just a few Sundays.

838
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: Gonna be interesting, like everybody's really in on the Patriots

839
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 2: like that seems to be like the sexy.

840
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: Oh this is my worst to first, depending.

841
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: How you feel about Drake May And I don't get

842
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: me wrong, I'm you'll be hard pressed to find a

843
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: bigger fan of Mike Rabel than the guy who's speaking

844
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: right now in this moment. I just know, like I said,

845
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: how the good they're gonna be? I'm not sure I don't.

846
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 2: I'm not picking them to win a Super Bowl, but

847
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: I really like what this team is doing. I like

848
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: their mission. It seems like they have a plan very

849
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: much the opposite of another team in the AFC.

850
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 4: We'll get to that next.

851
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

852
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just see headlines You're like, wait a minute,

853
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 2: that can't be right, especially in this day and age.

854
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: Martin Wiss, Alex Monico coming to you live from the

855
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios. You're on a Fox Sports Saturday.

856
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: I do have to say, uh, so far the competition

857
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: in WNBA All Star Game, I'm a man of honesty,

858
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 2: has not necessarily been as physicals even Titans up a

859
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: little bit.

860
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 3: It's been a little loosey goosey thus far. Yeah, if

861
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 3: you took the over in the first quarter, you cast several.

862
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: Men, you're feeling good about that. You are definitely feeling

863
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: good about that. So uh, when I read that TJ.

864
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: Watt was the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history

865
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 2: for the second time in his career, tell I was

866
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: just like, really, it's those little things like sure, I mean,

867
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: you know, say the timing and all.

868
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: That, Like if you if you had if you had

869
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 4: made me guess who would.

870
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 3: Have would have been? I would have got the defensive end.

871
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 4: I would mean Parsons. You would have lean Parsons when.

872
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: You no, I know Parsons, God know, he has gotten

873
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: extended again. Who would have been the highest paid? Like

874
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: for this trivia question? Right after this trivia question, I

875
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: probably would have guessed like Miles Garrett. That's fair, you know,

876
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: probably guess Miles Garrett, but uh, it's good.

877
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 3: Guess t J.

878
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 2: Watt who turns thirty one in October three years thirty

879
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty one hundred twenty three million dollars

880
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 2: one not wait fully guaranteed forty one million average. That's

881
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 2: that's more than it costs for Jamar Chase or Miles

882
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: Garrett to come and play for your team.

883
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 4: So here's my you're in on this.

884
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: I'm two feet in on this.

885
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, last five seasons, seventy three and

886
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: a half sacks. That's the most in the NFL. That's correct.

887
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: So that's a lot of help, you know, obviously, is

888
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: the best you can get over the last five years.

889
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: Tell me why you love this deal so much? Because

890
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: I honestly saw I was like.

891
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 4: Interesting. This is arguab but well we can go macro

892
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 4: and micro by the numbers. Adding to what you just said,

893
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 4: He's led the league in sacks three of his eight seasons.

894
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: He's led in force fumbles twice.

895
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 4: You go win loss with him, win loss without him,

896
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 4: they're one in ten without him, they're seventy nine to

897
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 4: forty and two with them. He's one of the most

898
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 4: physically imposing defensive disruptors I've ever seen with mia digmatism

899
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 4: in my entire life. But you go culture with it,

900
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: and in Aaron Rodgers. This could go off the Enigma

901
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: two rails real quick for the Netflix comeback or sequel.

902
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 4: This guy makes sure on one side of football, the

903
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: side of football we know Tomlin is able to handle best.

904
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 4: I'll let you take that one. This is your staple signing.

905
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 4: This keeps the defense intact. It gives you, without question,

906
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 4: a top ten defense coming into this season.

907
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 3: And you know where I'm at with the Rogers angle.

908
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 4: It's a top ten talent with a top ten company culture.

909
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 4: I don't see how it fails. The only way it

910
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 4: was headed towards under five hundred land was if this

911
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 4: man was not wrapped up. Now he's wrapped up with

912
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 4: several weeks to go in the season. I love it

913
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 4: for morale, and I love it just as much on paper.

914
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: So not to discount anything that you just said, but

915
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: you said the Steelers are one in ten, one and eleven,

916
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: something that we kind of did the matter there. Yeah,

917
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 2: point of the matter is in the time that TJ.

918
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 2: White's not played, that they have only won one game

919
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 2: without them.

920
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 3: That's correct. Point of the matter. Though how many playoff

921
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: games have they won?

922
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 4: We can't look to the defensive side of the ball.

923
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying. Look, that's what I'm saying. I

924
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: agree with you. I agree with Cam Hayward who said

925
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: last week, if the trade even gets up there, he's

926
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 2: going up to Omark Conn and saying that's not happening.

927
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it helps our team to trade a

928
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 2: guy like that. I don't think that this year's version

929
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: of the Pittsburgh Steelers are better today if they traded TJ.

930
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 3: White yesterday. No, I said, I don't. I do not think.

931
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: I do not think, though, but I think the Pittsburgh

932
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: Steelers five year sure, I might be, I don't know.

933
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 4: And when you have his on the seventeenth hole of

934
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 4: his eighteenth whole career. Aaron Rodgers might be on eighteen

935
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 4: if it is this one song out, you don't have

936
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 4: the lux or even worry about that right now. You

937
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 4: can't worry about that.

938
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: Right now.

939
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 4: Everyone's on the Budweiser hot seat throw back to old

940
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 4: school sports center. Everybody in Steelers country is on the

941
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 4: hot seat. That's why he got this number. And credit

942
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 4: to his agent forgetting that.

943
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: Now, I wonder if they are they just they just

944
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: extended the GM three years.

945
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 4: Omar Con just got the extension.

946
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin again, like we said, hasn't won a playoff

947
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: game in his last eight tries. And I'm not I

948
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 2: personally I would not fire Mike tom However, I could

949
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: understand the reachs. You can make an argument for fire

950
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: and just about anybody. I think Mike tom will be

951
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: hired like like snip snap real quick, yeah, if he

952
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: was available, but for this, like the Pittsburgh Steelers of

953
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 2: what we're doing going forward.

954
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 3: If I'm in that organization.

955
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: Like they are, there moves this off season are such

956
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: of a team that was one or two plays away

957
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 2: from winning a championship? To me, like are one or two,

958
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: they felt like there were one or two players away

959
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: from winning a championship. They're like, oh, you know what

960
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: we could do if we just get this guy in

961
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: our building.

962
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 3: This is the difference maker we need. I can get

963
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 3: behind that thinking.

964
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying, but I don't agree with

965
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 2: the style of thinking when you just look at the landscape.

966
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 2: Here's the problem, Pittsburgh, you're playing the AFC. Here's the

967
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: other problem. You're playing the AFC North. The Bankals have

968
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 2: opted out of defense this year. Apparently they drafted their

969
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: first round and said, hey, you know what, maybe we're

970
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: better off without you, and got Trey Henderson. Might you

971
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 2: know what, you can stay where you're at too, right?

972
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: And they said, well, page of ar Chase TJ Watt

973
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: money and you know they let's see how it goes Jison,

974
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: they got CJ. Whyite got Paige ar Chase buddy, But

975
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: either way the point remains. Bankals said, well, you know,

976
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: we'll just Paara receiver. We're gonna throw the ball over

977
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: the place. Baltimore has just got what a two time MVP,

978
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 2: and then you know.

979
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 4: So, yeah, but you got two teams to the AFC.

980
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 3: That are real competitors.

981
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that are if if any, It is not invalid

982
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: to have either one of those teams as your super

983
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: Bowl pick at the start of the season.

984
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: Right if you.

985
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: Say, like there's some teams are If you pick the

986
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints, who just guaranteed the fortieth overall pick

987
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: ten million dollars, that team is invalid. That is invalid.

988
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: If you pick them, you should be fired. No, everyone

989
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: should be surprised. Those two teams are valid. And that's

990
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 2: just the North. Then you go Buffalo, you know, and

991
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: you pay in Buffalo, Houston. Whoever wins that division, whoever

992
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 2: wins the South, like the Steelers really do what fifth

993
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: or sixth best team maybe on paper in this like

994
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: and I get it. It just seems to me like TJ.

995
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: Watt he should be a one helmet guy. I get it,

996
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: I feel it. But it's like, dude, is this the

997
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: headline you really want?

998
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 4: I guess. So they're renting a quarterback this year, so

999
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 4: you have to think you're paying him this money. You're

1000
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 4: paying him quarterback money. But he is the emotional leader

1001
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 4: of this team. Who else leads this team on the

1002
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 4: field more than TJ. Watt? There is no other answer,

1003
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 4: you had to make this deal kind of in alignment

1004
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 4: with what you were saying. They kind of think that

1005
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 4: they're this far away, but they're really not, but they

1006
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 4: might be.

1007
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 3: That's the moves.

1008
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 2: They've made prior to now forces them to make this deal.

1009
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 3: That's fair, but it's like this is just to me,

1010
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: the snowball of it all.

1011
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 4: But you completely lose the locker room, and it's all

1012
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 4: on Rogers, who probably isn't even in Pittsburgh right now

1013
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: because he's a California guy and he's in Tahoe playing

1014
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 4: in a golf tournament one week, and as he should be,

1015
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 4: but neither here nor there. You lose the entire locker

1016
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 4: room if you don't sign this guy.

1017
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of that Tahoe golf tournament, what life you play golf?

1018
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 3: We play like happy Gilmore or two.

1019
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 2: I might have to start playing this golf tournament. Everybody

1020
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: goes to this golf tournament. A friend of mine is

1021
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: Courks for she covers golf and will call me in

1022
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 2: years past like, Hey, I'm gonna be interviewing Josh Allen, Patser, Mahomes,

1023
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, George Kettle, and Trent Williams. Like, do you

1024
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: know who these people are? And I'm like, yeah, I

1025
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 2: can help you out here. Don't like because sure enough

1026
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: when liv split, I called her like yo, so he

1027
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: explained it like I'm.

1028
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 4: Five because I don't get it.

1029
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might have to go to this golf Tournament'

1030
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 2: not bad weekend up there.

1031
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 3: Dan, it's you know, Lake Tahoe can't beat it.

1032
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 4: But this is twofold, though, Martin, you don't feel there's

1033
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 4: an element of because Justin Fields did not bomb as

1034
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 4: the leading man, and I don't really think Russell Wilson

1035
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 4: completely bombed as the leading man, and they moved off

1036
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,479
Speaker 4: both of them to bring in a guy that didn't

1037
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 4: play winning football, which I'm okay with most aren't. The

1038
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 4: only thing that's been constant over there in Pittsburgh is

1039
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 4: the it's front seven and the defense. And this reminds you,

1040
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 4: all right, they're keeping multiple ways to win games open

1041
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 4: by bringing them back.

1042
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: So I okay, I agree with you there, and I

1043
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: don't want to labor the point, but we will. I

1044
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 2: think what happened between Fields and Wilson pure speculation, completely

1045
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 2: and totally just saying I just.

1046
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 3: Felt like this happened.

1047
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: I think Russell Wilson had a promise by Pittsburgh that

1048
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: he was going to be the starter right before he signed.

1049
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 2: I think he got hurt in training camp. Then Justin

1050
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 2: Fields went four and two. Yeah, and they said we're

1051
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 2: gonna keep our promise to you. Instead of going with

1052
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: Justin Fields. Justin Field says, I'm foreign to playing some

1053
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: of the best ball in my career and you're gonna

1054
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 2: take me out of here.

1055
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 3: Well, I'm definitely not coming back. You're back on your inspector,

1056
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 3: And so.

1057
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that's what happened, and it

1058
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: makes me wonder about Mike Tomlin in general. I feel

1059
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: like there's a good argument to be made that he

1060
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 2: has a blind spot for offensive players. But we'll get

1061
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: to that at the top of next hour. Right now,

1062
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 2: let's take a second and just touch on this because

1063
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: it's not a full topic, but we should talk about

1064
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: the w NBA came out today and their warm ups

1065
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: for the All Star Game, and all their warm.

1066
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 3: Ups said pay what you pay me what I am?

1067
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 4: You know?

1068
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 3: Was it pay what you owe? Yeah, like, pay us

1069
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 3: what we're owed, let me pay.

1070
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 2: I think it was pay us what we're old, because

1071
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 2: pay what you owe is a kind of a you know,

1072
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 2: but but pay what you owe and pay us what

1073
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: we're old, and that's what you owe us.

1074
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 4: Pay us what you owe us.

1075
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 2: And that is a statement that I can already see

1076
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: without having been on Twitter, without having even people listening

1077
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: to me right now are probably jamming their finger trying

1078
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 2: to change the station because it's like out of the league.

1079
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 3: Doesn't even make money out of out of this that

1080
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 3: the third.

1081
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 2: Just take a moment and juxtapose what's happening right now

1082
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 2: with the NFL players union and what's happening right now

1083
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 2: with the w NBA players and the way they talk

1084
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: about their players union. You talk about a league that

1085
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: has uh is strung, that would say struggling, But the NFL,

1086
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: they'll be fine. The NFL locks out for a year,

1087
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: the NFL locks out for two years, guess what, there

1088
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 2: will be just more pressure to get football back.

1089
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 3: That's what people will want.

1090
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, if this league locks out, if something happens to

1091
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 2: this league, a lot of people will say, we'll dance

1092
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 2: on the grave. The idea of what the WNBA players

1093
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 2: are doing to me, it's not only is it the

1094
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 2: only it's the only time they can is right now.

1095
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 2: This is the only time you talk about NFL players

1096
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 2: when they hold out, Oh you like training camp and like, oh, well,

1097
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: Branton Ayuka is not a whole den for half the

1098
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 2: you know, all training camp.

1099
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 4: What's he doing? Why does he do it?

1100
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: Because they didn't negotiate the deal at the time they

1101
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to. That's why we have all this

1102
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: other stuff.

1103
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 4: Just ask J. C.

1104
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 2: Tredder. That's why he's in trouble. What the WNBA is

1105
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: doing right now. I just think it is an important

1106
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: story with their CBA and all that forty players showed

1107
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: up to the pre All Star Game meeting for the CBA.

1108
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 3: They are serious about it.

1109
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 2: And when you have the last point, I'll make the

1110
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: Golden State Valkyries who have played less than a full

1111
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 2: season are getting valuations of what was one hundred times.

1112
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 3: More just three years ago.

1113
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: They literally cannot do anything but what they're doing right now,

1114
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: and I'm.

1115
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 3: Just glad they're doing it.

1116
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 4: I'm glad they're doing it one hundred one hundred thousand dollars.

1117
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 4: As a professional athlete, when you're on national television and

1118
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 4: a part of everybody's programs in the sports broadcasting world,

1119
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 4: it's just unacceptable. Like you said, you nailed it. I

1120
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 4: don't knowly have too much more to add. They had

1121
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 4: to do it right now. They did it.

1122
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 3: Hopefully was hurt and they real quick, those guys.

1123
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 9: The timing of it, though, with the fact that they

1124
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 9: just slashed the prices of the tickets in half, does

1125
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 9: that not play into.

1126
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 3: It all because it doesn't matter to me.

1127
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter to me because, like I understand you

1128
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: on today, right today, But Caitlin Clark is not dead.

1129
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: She just has a groin injury. She's not retired. She

1130
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: has a groin injury, and that rising tide will lift

1131
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: all the other boats. Is she the like that's been

1132
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 2: the point. Is she the best player in the league.

1133
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, she's not, Flatley. Is she the most popular? Absolutely,

1134
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: and that matters one hundred percent. Is she the draw today? Absolutely?

1135
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 2: But like that's why you do this whether or not

1136
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 2: she's there, because when she is there, we're not singing

1137
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 2: no different song. That's what the that's what a strong

1138
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: players union would have done and is doing. And to

1139
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: go speak about a weaker players union, we'll talk about

1140
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 2: the issues going on with the Washington Commanders. A guy

1141
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 2: who has been locked in ten toes down from pre

1142
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 2: back when the name was a racial slurt. And he

1143
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 2: has no interest in leaving. And you know what the

1144
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 2: commander said, buddy, you're thirty one. I don't know if

1145
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 2: we can do this.

1146
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 4: We'll get to that in just a minute.

1147
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 2: Martin Weiss, Alex Monico coming to you live from the

1152
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 2: You and Benjamin always had the best take on ball.

1153
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: He's talking to you. Interesting, who's Benjamin us fifteen?

1154

Speaker 4: You know that is?

1155
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 3: I do not.

1156
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 4: Huh? You know what I you know what I'm thinking?

1157
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 3: This is about?

1158
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, this is about It feels like a bot

1159
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 2: I just clicked on the page. Feels body all right,

1160
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 2: It feels body feels body all right. Speaking, the Washington

1161
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: Commanders are this year's darling of the NFL offseason.

1162
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 3: Everybody loves them. Yea, I heard the show two shows

1163
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 3: before us not the disparits. Hartman and Husky talking about.

1164
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 4: Just they cannot.

1165
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 2: They just can't wait to see how great Jayden Daniels

1166
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 2: is gonna be this upcoming season. And I'm not downplaying that,

1167
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: but his wide receiver won Terry McLaurin, who I think

1168
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 2: has been very underrated in his career and I think

1169
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 2: his salary shows it when you kind of look at it.

1170
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 2: He's not happy with the way this offseason has been

1171
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 2: going in Washington.

1172
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 3: I've been pretty frustrated.

1173
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie.

1174
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 10: Everything that has transpired up to this point is has

1175
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 10: been disappointing and frustrating. I've wanted to continue my career here.

1176
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,479
Speaker 10: I've created my life here. This has been somewhere where

1177
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 10: I've always wanted to be.

1178
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: And I feel where Terry's coming from here, cause you

1179
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 2: mean to tell me, it's like I've been living in

1180
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 2: this neighborhood well before y'all came around, started mowing the

1181
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 2: lawn and picking up the trash and renovating the houses

1182
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 2: next door.

1183
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 3: You want to tell me want to raise my proberty tax.

1184
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 3: I've been here for the longest.

1185
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, and Washington is seeing I mean,

1186
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 2: they're still at this m pass and I know there's

1187
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 2: some questions about who his agent is and how just

1188
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 2: literally the interpersonal relationship is going between agent and GM.

1189
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,959
Speaker 2: But like, this is a deal that I would think

1190
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 2: if you're the Commanders should be.

1191
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 3: Let's to your point about TJ. Watt.

1192
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying they're about the same player, but

1193
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: through the dark days of the Steelers would have been TJ.

1194
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 2: White has been there. Terry McLaurin has been through a

1195
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 2: lot of dark days, and the idea that this vibes

1196
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 2: feels off for me, and I don't like it.

1197
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 4: Martin Jane Daniels through twenty five touchdowns last year, thirteen.

1198
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 3: Of the them.

1199
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 4: We're to the man who was second in the NFL

1200
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 4: in touchdowns. Mister Terry, I don't know how you could

1201
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 4: be anything other than frustrate. And to your point, he

1202
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 4: is one of the leaders in this locker room that

1203
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 4: was there with all kinds of turnover, all kinds of commotion,

1204
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 4: everything but football being played over there in Washington. Now

1205
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 4: they're winning and they know how to act. Let's just

1206
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 4: let's go old school Madden here, all right, Deebo comes

1207
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 4: to town. Fed Now, by the way, is Luke McCaffrey

1208
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 4: close to Christian McCaffrey going into this season because outside

1209
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 4: of Noah Browny was this man gonna throw two? Not

1210
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 4: to mention the tape the league has on JD. I

1211
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 4: love Luke McCaffrey. At the Senior Bowl twenty twenty.

1212
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: Four out of Rice, I was like, yo, who was

1213
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 2: this little white kid rounding them up?

1214
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 4: Routing them up?

1215
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: Yet to see it in the NFL at the same level.

1216
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 2: Guys been out there, but he wasn't exactly lad McConkie

1217
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: in year one.

1218
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 3: But McClaren has been so consistent.

1219
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 4: I mean, seventy seven or more receptions in four straight years,

1220
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 4: eighty seven the year prior, and that's not even with

1221
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 4: a quarterback.

1222
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 2: I just look, a lot of people have been really

1223
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 2: high on the Commanders. Maybe I'll eat crow here. You

1224
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 2: said their win totals nine and a half. Yeah, I

1225
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be a very popular over bet, and

1226
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna be sitting back and wondering, how did they

1227
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 2: lose Week five to Jacksonville to make this a nine

1228
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 2: win team?

1229
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 4: I think you're onto something. But you want to talk

1230
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 4: about going backwards. This is old Washington, not handling Terry.

1231
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 4: Old Washington would bottle this New Washington should already have

1232
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 4: this wrapped up.

1233
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not what you like to see to

1234
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 2: me at least. And look, this is a one. You

1235
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 2: have your quarterback on a rookie deal. Your tight end

1236
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 2: is zach Ertz. Zach Ertz is thirty six at seven

1237
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 2: years old. Like the idea that Terry McLaurin should not

1238
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 2: be the guy that.

1239
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 3: You want, go ahead and go and take care of here.

1240
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 4: And he's twenty nine.

1241
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 3: It's not like he's thirty three.

1242
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 4: He's twenty nine.

1243
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 9: The quarterbacks on a rookie deal too, That's the thing

1244
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 9: to keep in mind. This is like the time that

1245
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 9: you can pay people.

1246
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: It's just number one assets.

1247
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 2: And it's not just all your It's not like your

1248
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,479
Speaker 2: quarterbacks on a rookie deal.

1249
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 3: Like Bryce Sjong is on a rookie deal, right, yeah,

1250
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 3: he's on a yeah in a win now window, he's

1251
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 3: on a rookie deal. Jayden Daniels is on a rookie deal.

1252
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels. So he's seventeen, uh, scratch that sixteen regular.

1253
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Season football game because I believe he missed at least one,

1254
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 2: maybe fifteen. But if the fact remains the amount of

1255
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,959
Speaker 2: professional football games that Jayden Daniels played in the regular

1256
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: season is less than twenty. And there are people across

1257
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: the board that will put him in a top ten list,

1258
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 2: and people won't blink. There are people across the board

1259
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: who will are you name the network, you will find

1260
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 2: somebody that has Jayden Daniels as a dark horse MVP candidate.

1261
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 4: And it's not that.

1262
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Dark right, and they're not even allowed to pay him yet.

1263
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 4: It's a guy who was top twelve receptions, top fifteen yards,

1264
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 4: top two in touchdowns, and your franchise quarterback's number one asset.

1265
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 4: We don't even know if Debo and Daniels are gonna

1266
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 4: work in a chemistry way close to Terry Terry's Terry's

1267
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 4: almost He's not the talent of Larry Fitzgerald, but he's

1268
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 4: had a similar frustrating quarterback after quarterback after quarterback career.

1269
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 4: Now it's time to cash in. He doesn't want to

1270
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 4: go get paid. Watch the Chargers back up the Brinks truck.

1271
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 4: And I can't watch Quinton Johnson drop another uncontested ball

1272
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 4: in training camp. Bring him on down to the five freeway,

1273
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 4: let him play with Herbert and watch what happened.

1274
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 3: I tell you.

1275
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 2: I just I don't get this move. I don't get

1276
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 2: why this is. This deal hasn't been done yet. I

1277
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 2: don't think it's terribly complicated. I don't I really know

1278
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: his agent is asking for a little more of this

1279
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 2: than that. Like, I don't see the problem here. I

1280
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 2: don't see the issue and it just replacing, Like the

1281
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 2: idea that Deebo Samuels replacing him, I just I cannot square.

1282
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Like there was a moment.

1283
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: Last year, well, I saw Deebo if Thursday Night football

1284
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 2: against the Seahawks. Julian Love was wearing that light blue

1285
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 2: and he hawked him on a seventy something yard run.

1286
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 3: Say, oh, Deebo, you're slow.

1287
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead now and kick it over

1288
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: to Steve de Seger for what's trending in the world

1289
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: of sports as the NBA All Star Game goes to

1290
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 2: halftime steam.

1291
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 7: Or the WNBA although it's high scoring like the NBA

1292
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 7: All Star Game which you referenced, Dili.

1293
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 3: That's my issue. I saw. I just saw no defense

1294
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 3: being played and got distracted.

1295
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 7: The halftime score Team Collier eighty two to sixty over

1296
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 7: Team Clark, and no, Caitlin Clark is not playing injured.

1297
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 7: I look it up when the last time they had

1298
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 7: the standard opposition in the All Star Game a couple

1299
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 7: summers ago, the winning team had one forty three. The

1300
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 7: leading team has eighty two in the first half tonight.

1301
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 7: There are some rule changes just for this All Star Game.

1302
01:02:59,520 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Tonight.

1303
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 7: It's a twenty second shot clock knock twenty four this evening.

1304
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 7: There's also the allowance of a hockey like substitution for

1305
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 7: the offense. You can have one player off and one

1306
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 7: on while you have the ball, not when there's a

1307
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 7: time out. And there's also a four point shot a

1308
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 7: couple of circles that are out there on each side

1309
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 7: of the court above the three point line at twenty

1310
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 7: eight feet off.

1311
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 4: Now, the box.

1312
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 7: Score hasn't been adjusted to say exactly how many of

1313
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 7: the long distance shots have been threes and how many fours,

1314
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 7: so I can't report on that. But eighty two sixty

1315
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 7: team Collier in the lead, with Captain Nefisa Collier in

1316
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 7: nine minutes on the court, scoring eighteen points seven of

1317
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 7: eight shooting from the floor. Scottie Scheffler leads the open

1318
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 7: by four strokes after a third round sixty seven in

1319
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,760

1320
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 7: fifty four holes has won the event, and he took

1321
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 7: the PGA Championship in May. The Saints gave second round

1322
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 7: quarterback Tyler Shuck a fully guarantee contract. The top eight

1323
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,919
Speaker 7: selections in round two got guaranteed money this year. That's

1324
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 7: a first. In fact, no second round pick had ever

1325
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 7: received a fully guaranteed contract until this year. But Bengals

1326

Speaker 7: first round defensive end Shamar Stewart is still unsigned and

Speaker 7: with the Wizards and will reportedly sign with the Lakers.

1331
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,200

1340
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 7: Grand Slam. Matts scored early but lost at home five

1341
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 7: to to Cincinnati. The Mets did retire David Wright's number five.

Speaker 2: Back to you, thanks Steve Martin Weiss and Alex Monico.

1357
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Coming to you live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1358
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 2: It's time to tell you what the biggest story will

1359
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 2: be tomorrow or Monday or whatever the hell dated it's Saturday. Yeah,

1360
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: well this will be the biggest story in the NFL

1361
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 2: the next couple of days. Oh yeah, but Lloyd Howell,

1362
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 2: the NFLPA executive direct resigned. Was a Thursday night, Friday

1363
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 2: night earlier. It wasn't Friday, it could have been, so

1364
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 2: I think it was Thursday night.

1365
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 3: Abruptly is the headline. Well, it's sort of abrupt.

1366
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 2: It's after days and days of reporting, honestly by Pablo

1367
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: Torri and nobody else. So shout out to Pabloatry finds

1368
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 2: out because the boy for the boy, he found it out.

1369
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 3: He mounted out.

1370
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 2: So this all stems back from uh basically Pabulatory had

1371
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 2: text messages from the owners of the Cardinals and the

1372
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 2: Chargers discussing Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract, intimating we really

1373
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 2: wish that the owners of the Browns hadn't offered that

1374
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 2: because they had two guys, Kyle Ler Murray and Justin Herbert.

1375
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: Did they ballpack coming down the pipe, both of whom

1376
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 2: were gonna want to, you know, a lot of bread, right,

1377
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: and so especially when you consider just thinking about this

1378
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 2: in my head right now. The post he's the success

1379
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 2: of all of them combined and the injury, Like, there's

1380
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 2: no argument that Kyler Murray's like, if Deshaun did it,

1381
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 2: then I should do it. If Sean you know, so,

1382
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 2: the NFL and the NFLPA essentially had a ruling on

1383
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 2: this found there was collusion, hid the findings did his

1384
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 2: whole stuff. Basically, the longest short of it is Lloyd Howell,

1385
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the guy who's supposed to be representing the players, had

1386
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 2: no seeming interest at all in doing so and kind

1387
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: of just moving things along in the way of like

1388
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 2: there was a moment I think it was that the

1389
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 2: super Bowl, neither this last super Bowl, the super Bowl

1390
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 2: prior where he was asked at like the NFL, you know,

1391
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 2: the state of the league conversations. He goes, well, you know,

1392
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts about an eighteenth game? Lloyd how says,

1393
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: who doesn't love more football? Now, that's a fine thing

1394
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 2: to say. If you're me, or if you're you, or

1395
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 2: if you're a producer ian over there and you know

1396
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: your jobs.

1397
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 3: Are to cover the games. What's another weekend to me?

1398
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 6: You know?

1399
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 3: Cool?

1400
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 4: Whatever?

1401
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 2: I got eighteen real Sundays now then anything else stead

1402
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 2: of just seventeen. But if you're the guy who is

1403
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 2: representing the players and you can't say, oh, sign us up,

1404
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 2: like you have to give something back, like you want

1405
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 2: me to work longer, Oh I need more shabi gift?

1406
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 2: Take right, Yeah, gift. Like you don't say you work

1407
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 2: longer at your job. You get a little bit overtime,

1408
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,719
Speaker 2: so on and so forth. So that's not the smoking

1409
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 2: gun of this whole story. This was kind of it's

1410
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of wizard and Oz thing going on

1411
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 2: here if you follow the Pablo Tory reporting.

1412
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 4: This is not what ESPN and the other.

1413
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 3: Places that have NFL rights are talking about it the

1414
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 3: same way.

1415
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 2: Because the big story today is a seven hundred and

1416
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 2: sixty eight dollars ubercharge essentially outside of a strip club,

1417
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 2: which was expensed by Lloyd Howe to the union as

1418
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 2: a business expense, saying for like player player engagement and

1419
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,879
Speaker 2: such and so forth. So it's a misappropriation of union funds,

1420
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 2: which is what is the smoking gun. But to me,

1421
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 2: the biggest deal of this is that Lloyd Howe had

1422
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: a part time job consulting for private equity which just

1423
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 2: was able to buy teams in the NFL portions of

1424
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 2: teams in the NFL.

1425
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 3: This is just the most clearest conflict of.

1426
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Interest you could find, and it's now being brought to light.

1427
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 4: Honestly, you say that, if I gotta hear that again,

1428
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 4: it's it's unfathomable looking at it like this, whether you're

1429
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 4: close up or far away, I think you need a

1430
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 4: complete shakeup.

1431
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 3: What say you complete shakeup?

1432
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 2: So not only do I think that's the case, but like,

1433
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 2: just think about what Steve just said, right, no second

1434
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 2: round pick prior to this year had had their full

1435
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 2: contract fully gearing. Now I we hear those things and

1436
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 2: you think, okay, cool, I mean it makes sense. Oh,

1437
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 2: Shamar Stewart's got some beef with the team. Okay, that

1438
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 2: makes sense. But part of it is is like, why

1439
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 2: is it? Why hasn't that happened?

1440
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 4: Right?

1441
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

1442
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 2: Why hasn't there been a guy who we wanted to

1443
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 2: draft in a high second round? All of it has

1444
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 2: been artificially depressed two years ago, three years ago. Wh

1445
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 2: they're talking about the running back market? What is the

1446
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,799
Speaker 2: running back market?

1447
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 3: Like?

1448
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 4: That was what I was my point.

1449
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 2: I was making, what do you mean the market for

1450
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 2: running backs is if they are like like a running

1451
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 2: back is a car and everybody else is riding bikes.

1452
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, a running back or

1453
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 2: everybody else is a car and'm running back riding a bike.

1454
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 4: So well, this is a really bad look. It's a

1455
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 4: really bad look for the NFL. I would imagine Martin,

1456
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 4: there's needs to be some sort of grandiose pr statement.

1457
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 4: But even more so if you're a player in this league,

1458
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 4: and I know McAfee was huge on speaking on a

1459
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 4: huge shake up, somebody's got to step up.

1460
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: I honestly think they should go scortch Thirth. I would imagine.

1461
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody who's involved right now on the

1462
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 2: player side of like player reps on up should be involved.

1463
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 3: With the NFLPA.

1464
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 4: Like I.

1465
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 2: Like, actually I got a text from a player Brandon

1466
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: will former play.

1467
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 3: He's reasonable tire Brandon Vocal played for the Steelers.

1468
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a start by any stretch, right, you know,

1469
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 2: he's a practice squad guy who was active for a

1470
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 2: couple of games, but like he is not like won

1471
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 2: a college championship with Joe Burrow LSHO, but not at

1472
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 2: the NFL I'll put it like this, he.

1473
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 3: Not Cam Hayward. You know what I'm saying in the

1474
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 3: room with Cam Hayward right.

1475
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 2: Right, and he's a you know, I think players should

1476
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 2: be angry, raised questions and have an input with more

1477
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 2: things than we have ever there personally needs to be

1478
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 2: a clean slate play leading our players union. He said

1479
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 2: the initial hiring process was too exacerbate, and throughout the years,

1480
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 2: not just playing in the NFL, he has friends and

1481
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 2: family that play in it. It's always been a rocky situation,

1482
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 2: and he says he ends it with I encourage all

1483
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 2: players to read the CBA and just know what the

1484
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 2: rules are, because I honestly I have read the CBA

1485
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: for the NFL. It's a lot of stuff that that

1486
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 2: will never matter to me as a talking head.

1487
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 3: It's just good to know the rules.

1488
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 2: The CBA is the rules of engagement for teams and

1489
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 2: players and how they are to interact. The CBA is

1490
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 2: why Terry McLaurin says I want a new deal, and

1491
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 2: the what is why the commanders say we don't have

1492
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 2: to do it. The CBA is why Kirk Cousins gegy franchised,

1493
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: not once, but twice, right, and the CB likes all

1494
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 2: of those things are and this then that's why the

1495
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 2: w NBA players are walking out with shirts. Pay us

1496
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 2: what you owe us. All of this is all related.

1497
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 4: Well, this guy does not seem like he has the

1498
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 4: player's best interest. It seems like he's on the other

1499
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 4: side this absolutely And now we're talking about, to your point,

1500
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 4: a complete conflict of interest. Where where is the justice

1501
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 4: for the players within that fine print moving forward?

1502
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you where it's not, and it's not with

1503
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 2: the guy who has been rumored or circled to be

1504
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 2: the guy to replace.

1505
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 3: Lloyd Howell. And that's JA C.

1506
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 2: Trader, who was the former president of the NFLPA. If

1507
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 2: you follow Pablo Torre's reporting, there's one consistent through line

1508
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 2: through all of it. There's one common denominator through everything.

1509
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 4: It is J. C.

1510
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 2: Trader, who bent the rules to hire the first guy,

1511
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 2: Lloyd Howe. Covered up the eye some of the things

1512
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 2: that are coming out. Lloyd Howell's background check again covered

1513
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 2: up by J. C. Trader, had knowledge of the private equity.

1514
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 8: J C.

1515
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 2: Trader covered it up, kept these arbitration hearing secret.

1516
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 11: J C.

1517
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 3: Trader covered it up.

1518
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 2: Like about the CBA you can't put this if Jason,

1519
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 2: I know that Jay C. Treadder was a former player,

1520
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 2: and Braydon said it in this text message to me.

1521
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 2: A former player be leading this union has to that's

1522
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 2: not the one, not that one. That's not the one.

1523
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 2: That is not the one. And speaking of people guilty

1524
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 2: or innocent, cop it up. Next, play another edition a

1525
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 2: Sports Court. Martin Wise and Alex Monico coming to you

1526
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 2: live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. It's now time

1527
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 2: for another edition of Sports Court.

1528
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 9: Okay, we are back with the Sports Court. Alex, I

1529
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 9: can't remember you've done this one before.

1530
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 4: You've done it before. Yeah, that's right, that's right, one

1531
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 4: in dunlight. Mellow, back for another. All right, well, let's

1532
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 4: jump in the rules here. I have a list of

1533
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 4: people from the world of sports that I'm putting on

1534
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,560
Speaker 4: trial here in the Sports Court. I'll present to you

1535
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 4: guys their case, and then it's up to you, guys,

1536
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 4: the jury, to tell me whether they are.

1537
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 3: Guilty or not guilty. You ready, let's do it? All right?

1538
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 9: So, first off, Bill Belichick stands accused. Now, if you

1539
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 9: guys recall Belichick. The UNC team was supposed to be

1540
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 9: featured on HBO's Hard Knocks this year, but it all

1541
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 9: fell through. It turns out, though that Belichick's tar Heels

1542
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 9: are going to be getting their own docu series after all,

1543
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 9: and it's being developed by Hulu. So Bill Belichick, guilty

1544
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 9: or not guilty?

1545
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 4: Not guilty, You're not guilty.

1546
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 6: Because it's devastating.

1547
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 4: To my case.

1548
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,759
Speaker 2: Absolutely, because it is devastating in my case. I'm always

1549
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 2: all in on Belichick's Hard Knocks. I was going to

1550

Speaker 2: be locked in. I will be locked in to whatever

1551
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 2: Belichick comes out with this Hulu thing. Hard Knocks couldn't

1552
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,520
Speaker 2: handle Hudson and that's the problem. Hulu is more equipped.

1553
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 3: I'm locked in.

1554
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 4: I just survived Love Island, so I feel like this

1555
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 4: is a drop in the bucket for me. I My

1556
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 4: IQ went down. But you know we're tapped in on

1557
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 4: the culture. I'm gonna go with Martin on this.

1558
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 3: Not guilty. Yeah, you need.

1559
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 9: Go ahead to let the sound bude finish, all right,

1560
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 9: Next up, Caitlin Clark stands accused. Oh, actually, you know what,

1561
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 9: we're skipping that one earlier.

1562
01:15:56,120 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 4: In the show, and Roddy guilty. I'm not skipping all

1563
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 4: right now.

1564
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 9: Former NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell stands accused.

1565
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 3: Now you guys mentioned this earlier in the show.

1566
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 9: Howell stepped down from his position as executive director of

1567
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 9: the NFLPA late Thursday night, before it was reported Friday

1568
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 9: that he spent hundreds of using Union dollars on strip

1569
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:15,759
Speaker 9: club visits.

1570
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 3: So Lloyd Howell guilty or not guilty? Guilty?

1571
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 4: That's guilty as who could be?

1572
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:25,879
Speaker 2: Cause here do you getting paid millions of dollars?

1573
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 3: What do you need to expense it for?

1574
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 4: Broke boy? Why? Why are we doing? What are we doing?

1575
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 4: Spending the money? Spending the money.

1576
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 3: He's buying a He's guilty. He's buying a two time.

1577
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 4: Here's the amount of his salary had down there in

1578
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 4: Del Boca Vista and he can't cover this.

1579
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,680
Speaker 3: Very guilty and very guilty, all right.

1580
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 9: Meghan the Stallion stands accused. So now that Mavericks guard

1581
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 9: Klay Thompson's new relationship with the rapper Meghan the Stallion

1582
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 9: is public. A video surfaced him this week at a

1583
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 9: team practice and he hit seventy two three pointers in

1584
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 9: a row back back in the old clay. So people

1585
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,719
Speaker 9: are saying that Meghan has brought back the old Clay.

1586
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 9: So Meghan the Stallion, guilty or not guilty? Go, I'm

1587
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 9: gonna say she did bring the man back guilty. I

1588
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 9: gotta go guilty. That would be he looved it. I

1589
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 9: saw him on the red carpet.

1590
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 4: She bought him of what not one hundred to two

1591
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 4: hundred three hundred thousand dollars. Rist he took that risk

1592
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 4: to hit seventy two straight threes. I think that is

1593
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 4: the sign of a guilty girlfriend.

1594
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 3: Bring it back, old Clay, What say you mark not guilty?

1595
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 4: Wow? These allegations are false.

1596
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 3: Here's the problem.

1597
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 2: I think that I think that seventy two percent of

1598
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 2: NBA players could hit seventy two out of one hundred

1599
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,600
Speaker 2: threes wide open, just standing there with somebody passing on

1600
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 2: the ball. I think probably close to three quarters of

1601
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 2: the league could probably do that. The problem that I

1602
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 2: have with this everybody's acting like this is the first

1603
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 2: time making the Stallions dated at basketball player Tory Craig was.

1604
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 2: I remember that relationship, but it was not the front

1605
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 2: page of VSPN Justice for Tory Craig.

1606
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 4: I don't even know who he is. Not big. He's

1607
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 4: not big.

1608
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 3: That's that's goodness, gracious.

1609
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 4: I can't even find him in two k It used

1610
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 4: to be with you date it mattered in this world.

1611
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 4: Just ask me, Just ask jay Z.

1612
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 9: MLB All Star starters stand accused. Now, the starters from

1613
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 9: the MLB All Star Game have been taking a little

1614
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 9: bit of heat for changing back into their street clothes

1615
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 9: after subbing out of the game. So some fans have

1616
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 9: been calling it pretty disrespectful to the game. So MLB

1617
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 9: All Star starters guilty or not guilty?

1618
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 4: Guilty? I'm he's guilty. I'm jury. You can see it

1619
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 4: on this smub little face.

1620
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 6: Guilty, I think guilty.

1621
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 4: If you're at work, you wear your uniform until you

1622
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 4: clock out.

1623
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 3: It's just I'm sorry.

1624
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 4: Is that a millennial take? This game was a great night,

1625
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 4: But that's a little upsetting if you're seeing Otani, Martin

1626
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 4: and Judge chilling and street clothes in the top of

1627
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 4: the seventh.

1628
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 2: No, I like this. Is this a millennial take? No,

1629
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 2: it's not a millennial take.

1630
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 3: It's a get off my lawn, the old boomer, not kissy.

1631
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 4: Not guilty. Oh come on, pope.

1632
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 2: You tell me you if you can hear my voice

1633
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 2: right now, you tell me today that youth stayed fifteen

1634
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 2: minutes after the last the first day before vacation. You

1635
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 2: tell me, because it's not true. For not a single

1636
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 2: lion one of you, not none of it. They play

01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two day.

01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 4: They gonna work a hunt.

1639
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 3: They got a hundred since day that three sixty five.

1640
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 4: That's a lot. I don't even know what the number is.

1641
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 4: I just know that I don't have not done anything.

1642
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 4: Get the uniform all Martin, untucked the shirt, untucked the shirt.

1643
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 4: There's the middle crew.

1644
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 3: Here's the problem, here's your problem.

1645
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 2: They're the ones that are still there because everybody else's left.

1646
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 4: Everybody else has.

1647
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 2: Got it on their private jets to go to Texa,

1648
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 2: Cacos and Jamaica or the Bahamas ooh pretty Mama, or

1649
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 2: rubensjbaka whatever to go do all of that. And because

1650
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 2: Thirk school Ball decided, oh you know what, I'm not

1651
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 2: actually flying out. I'm just gonna go watch this thing

1652
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 2: he's supposed to put on this dirty jersey.

1653
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 3: No, that's ridiculous. And all of you listening to me, No,

1654
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous.

1655
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 4: You're just saying it.

1656
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 2: Because you hold other people higher than you host standards

1657
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 2: you hold yourself.

1658
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 3: That's the problem with America today. I'm with that, like so.

1659
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 2: All of the lott he is holding people to a

1660
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 2: higher standard. This would have you'll treat people to say

1661
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 2: you treat people fair. And it's the same problem happening

1662
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:35,560
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh.

1663
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

1664
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 4: That's right.

1665
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,559

01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: stands in this in the San Diego Washington get they're

1668
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 2: playing the Nationals. I thought they were playing the Royals

1669
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 2: when I looked at those jerseys. I hate this. Oh

1670
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 2: my head, what are the Nationals doing wearing baby blue?

1671
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 2: What are the Nationals? And you know what, I can't

1672
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not evenna talk about it anymore because

1673
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 2: I thought I'm not interested.

1674
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 4: I was about to remind you about the hat.

1675
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:15,799
Speaker 3: They shit. What happens.

1676
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 2: You give them an inch, Mary Mack, they take a

1677
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 2: freaking mile. If you can have a black Dodgers hat,

1678
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 2: you can have baby blue play in National road uniforms.

1679
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 2: It's still our home uniform.

1680
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 4: Whatever.

1681
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 3: It is disgusting, it drives I hate it. I hate

1682
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 3: it so much.

1683
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 2: I hated so so much, sit in here watching baseball.

1684
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 2: You know, it's good to have something to hate. Watch

1685
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 2: back as baseball is now back in full swing the

1686
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 2: WNBA All Star Game and play right now is that

1687
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 2: was a shoot the ball?

1688
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 3: Kelsey plump. We got scoring in this game. There's a

1689
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 3: lot of scoring.

1690
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 2: But like you said earlier, the rules are a little

1691
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 2: different here, shot clocks shorter four point shots out there.

1692
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 4: Oh look, Caitlyn Clark complained.

1693
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 2: To an official. Who would have thought that was gonna happen?

1694
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 2: Who who could have seen it coming? Anyway, let's get

1695
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 2: to this topic at hand. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron

1696
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 2: Rodgers and Mike Tumblin. So we talked about him earlier

1697
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. We alluded to

1698
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 2: it a little bit. But obviously Aaron Rodgers, the I

1699
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 2: would say, the prodigal some returns home. But it was

1700
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,839
Speaker 2: his first time in Pittsburgh when he signed that contract.

1701
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 2: You would have thought it would have been maybe the

1702
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 2: fifth or sixth or seventh, because you know, at the

1703
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 2: length in which, at a time in which it took

1704
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 2: it for him to sign it, but he eventually did. Now,

1705
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 2: I have some troubling news for you, uh uh that

1706
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 2: you may not be aware of as we move into

1707
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers Pittsburgh Steelers era. I know you are

1708
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 2: all in like four am, Atlantic City.

1709
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 3: I've already bought it right exactly, So that's where we're

1710
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 3: all in here. We're all in here like a like

1711
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 3: like it's breakfast time in Vegas.

1712
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 2: And that's how all in with alex Monica is on

1713
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 2: this Pittsburgh Stealers and Aaron Rodgers. I wonder if he

1714
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 2: had considered what this Pittsburgh's Dealers beat right for the

1715
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 2: athletic Mike Defebo said on Colin Cowherd's show The Herd.

1716
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:16,560
Speaker 3: This is what he said yesterday.

1717
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 12: Did Mike Tomlin get the most out of Antonio Brown

1718
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 12: or did he enable him? And you know, we saw

1719
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,600
Speaker 12: history in some senses repeat itself with George Pickens. You

1720
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 12: go back to where this whole postseason losing streak began.

1721
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 12: Le'Veon Bell reported late for that playoff game. Mike Tomlin

1722
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 12: always has a saying, I don't treat everybody equally, but

1723
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 12: I treat everybody fairly. But when you're treating people on

1724
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 12: different levels.

1725
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,680
Speaker 3: That is unfair to the guys who are doing the

1726
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 3: right thing.

1727
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 4: When you're treating people unfair? Treat don't people troople the same?

1728
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 4: Would you treat them on different levels? Did we treat

1729
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 4: people on different levels?

1730
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 2: You know, saying things get a little dicey good thing

1731
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers has always been the consummate teammate and

1732
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 2: you'll never have to worry about him desmanding anything different

1733
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 2: or special at all.

1734
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 4: So you just love that sound bite because it's music

1735
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 4: to your ears if you're not on the Pittsburgh wave

1736
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 4: like I.

1737
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's just partly I had really cont like there

1738
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 2: are things that you know, but then when somebody lays

1739
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:25,480
Speaker 2: them all out, it's like, oh wow, I didn't realize

1740
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 2: that you know a butterfly caterpillar?

1741
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 4: Huh go figure right.

1742
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of steps in between that, but then

1743
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 2: once you find them out, it's like I understand, now,

1744
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 2: thank you for enlightening me.

1745
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:38,879
Speaker 3: I knew obviously.

1746
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 2: The Le'Veon bell was late to the playoff game, and

1747
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 2: then Antonio Brown went on Instagram live afterwards and that

1748
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 2: was the last playoff game that they had won, but

1749
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 2: it didn't really track to be like it's got a

1750
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 2: point with like this has kind of been because dare

1751
01:24:55,280 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 2: I say consistent intreating offensive players from leading defensive because

1752
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 2: like TJ, why and you know what to the defensive

1753
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 2: players for they get paid? But like, how fair is

1754
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 2: it to the TJ wats in the world that if

1755
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 2: George Picktts is showing up late to Mike Fables point.

1756
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 4: And George Picktts that's one thing.

1757
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 3: You're not saying that Aaron.

1758
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 2: Rodgers didn't necessarily show up late. But I would just

1759
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 2: say what happens when the Steelers are one and two

1760
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers isn't necessarily smiling through it all?

1761
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 4: We got an interesting Monday morning a block But the why,

1762
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 4: Let's just live in this reality for a second. We

1763
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 4: know what wide receivers are. Remember the throwback movie The Replacements.

1764
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the wide receiver is a different let's call

1765
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 4: them all actors almost. They are the diva in the trailer.

1766
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 4: And that's not just on the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are

1767
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 4: me guys more than any other position in the NFL

1768
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 4: outside of maybe a quarter. That's where I go. All right,

1769
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 4: Tomlin's been a defensive coach his whole career. It only

1770
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 4: makes sense the offensive side wouldn't be as buttoned up

1771
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 4: as a defensive guy.

1772
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 2: Sure, but also too, you're coaching the whole team. That's

1773
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 2: one of my biggest beats with the the coach in Miami,

1774
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 2: with the Mike McDaniel. That's one of my biggest beats

1775
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 2: with him, is that how you just punting on defense.

1776
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 4: Bro, Like, well, that's a whole that's to me, that's

1777
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 4: different in the sense that he doesn't have He doesn't

1778
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 4: have the resume and the cachet that Tomlin does. Now

1779
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 4: you could almost you could also live in this reality

1780
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 4: and go all right, he's actually because he is a

1781
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 4: player's coach and he is a master motivator that he

1782
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 4: actually allows them to be who they are, thus getting

1783
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 4: the best version out of it.

1784
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 2: Very much chicken in the egg, right, It's like did

1785
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 2: you maximize ab or did you taken advantage of you

1786
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying kind of deal. And I was

1787
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 2: always on the side of it maximized, But to hear

1788
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 2: it kind of play it out like that, it was

1789
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 2: like that, Oh man, that's fascinating, especially consider Aaron Rodgers

1790
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 2: is the one coming down the pipe and I am

1791
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 2: growing more sympathetic to Steelers fans and the plight of

1792
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 2: five hundred. Like the god it's hard for me as

1793
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 2: a guy who grew up a Saints fan. It was

1794
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 2: hard for me, for real to understand what they were

1795
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 2: complaining about. And now, like, if you're a fan of

1796
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 2: the Jaguars, let's say you're thirty five years old, and

1797
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 2: you can hear me right now. You grew up listen,

1798
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 2: and you've been rooting for the Jaguars. They've been good

1799
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: in your life three times? Yeah, right, Fred Taylor, Right

1800
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 2: like that three times? Like that's that, you know, that's

1801
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 2: it you and good is and good is Like you

1802
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 2: look at the Patriots their worst years, you take the

1803
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 2: worst five years in Tom Brady's career is the best

1804
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 2: five years of Jaguars is.

1805
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,719
Speaker 4: So it's a low self esteem franchise versus the opposite,

1806
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,560
Speaker 4: you know, And so it's hard for me.

1807
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 3: I'm a Saints fan.

1808
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 2: The Saints are the Saints just guaranteed the fortieth pick

1809
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 2: in the draft his entire contract, you know why, because

1810
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna be the starting quarterback. What But you know,

1811
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 2: just say all that to say Saints were good exactly

1812
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 2: one time in my life.

1813
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 6: That was it.

1814
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 2: So when you tell me that the Pittsburgh Steelers, oh

1815
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 2: they just can't get over the five hundred tomp so

1816
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,440
Speaker 2: I trade a lot to be five hundred, but absolutely

1817
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 2: understanding that at five hundred you really never get a chance.

1818
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 2: If you're only hitting doubles. You can never hit a

1819
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 2: home run. Do you know what I'm saying. You can

1820
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 2: literally never hit a home run. It takes something else

1821
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 2: to get you, like you can never just do it

1822
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 2: all yourself. And so I'm starting to become more this offseason.

1823
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:53,719
Speaker 2: I'm wondering a lot.

1824
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 4: About the Steelers. It's just interesting because earlier, which you

1825
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 4: did make a very good point when you were talking Tomlin. Okay,

1826
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 4: this is a guy that would get cooped up in

1827
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 4: two seconds if he was on the open market as

1828
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 4: a head coach. But let's also remind ourselves the Pittsburgh Steelers'

1829
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 4: organization under the Rooneyes, they do business differently. Bill Cower

1830
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 4: was a coach there as long as he's been on CBS,

1831
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 4: which I was learning cursive when Bill Kwer was on CBS.

1832
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:24,640
Speaker 4: I mean, they don't overreact. They often don't also underreact.

1833
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 4: But it's to me, Martin, a new leaf turn this year,

1834
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 4: where yes, I think we will be a little more

1835
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 4: scrutinizing Tomlin's leadership ability. But is it also worth mentioning

1836
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,759
Speaker 4: the guy that was a distraction is not there anymore.

1837
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 3: I don't love that.

1838
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 4: Obviously, they bring in DK Metcalf that can be a

1839
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:48,640
Speaker 4: little bit wide receiver esque on the energy, but he's

1840
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 4: a little more of a professional than Pickens.

1841
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 3: I agree.

1842
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 2: But trading Dk Metcalf George are swapping George Pickens for

1843
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 2: Dk Metcalf is like swapping a Minnesota winner for a

1844
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 2: Iowa winner.

1845
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 4: Start Rogers bro unless Rodgers going to Metcalf, unless he

1846
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,600
Speaker 4: gets him off the gummy bears and onto you know,

1847
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:15,559
Speaker 4: a grass fat diet. Now we're really talking aboutcause Metcalf

1848
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,759
Speaker 4: is is one to one in that diet department.

1849
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 2: I'll say this, Dk Metcalf better stay away from Aaron

1850
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 2: Rodgers gummy bears. You don't know what's in the thing.

1851
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 2: He better stay away from Aaron Rodgers gummy bears. But

1852
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 2: here's the other thing that I that is this is

1853
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:32,640
Speaker 2: the most damning thing of all when it comes to

1854
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 2: your boy, Aaron Rodgers, and I will drop this disc

1855
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 2: track courtesy of Mike Defebo from The Athletic on Colin

1856
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 2: cow her Shore on Friday, right now they.

1857
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 4: Know that people are getting impatient. They want success and

1858
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:49,720
Speaker 4: they haven't had it, you know.

1859
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 12: And I just look at the fact that there have

1860
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 12: been in the history of the NFL in the Super

1861
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 12: Bowl era, quarterbacks over forty have won to combine twelve

1862
01:30:58,600 --> 01:30:59,679
Speaker 12: games in the playoffs.

1863
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 4: Tom Brady has ten.

1864
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:04,799
Speaker 12: Every other quarterback has two combined. So it's Tom Brady

1865
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 12: and it's everybody else.

1866
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 3: And here the.

1867
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 12: Steelers are throwing their face behind assumed to be forty

1868
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 12: two year old Aaron Rodgers to try to snap that

1869
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 12: skin ten and.

1870
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 3: Two and ten of them are twelve and two and

1871
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 3: ten of them are Tom Brady.

1872
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 4: But how many of them?

1873
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 3: How many I got cannonball?

1874
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 4: How many of them have been in the woods?

1875
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 10: Though?

1876
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 4: To better themselves, you have to realize how this functional

1877
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 4: New York Jets are the Aaron Rodgers slander I will

1878
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 4: not take considering where a thousand days removed from him

1879
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 4: having nine interceptions in back to back MVP years.

1880
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 3: Listen, why are we getting in with his music?

1881
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 4: I am not going down with this ship. Tomins won

1882
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 4: eighty three and one oh seven. Robert Solo was a

1883
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 4: motivator with no resume and wasn't even a head coach

1884
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 4: in this league. He's back to where it all begins,

1885
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:59,560
Speaker 4: San Francisco. Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers are a perfect

1886
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 4: implement to each other.

1887
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 13: Listen, turn it up, baby's but they're a perfect compliment

1888
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 13: in the same way that like the guy that did

1889
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,080

Speaker 2: Like you guys both never left home and all of

1893
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:22,160

01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 4: Feel me right?

1897
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:29,560
Speaker 11: Like?

1898
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, these market rates not going down, baby, how

1899
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 2: you looking? Price to ags is six dollars a carton.

1900
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:44,639
Speaker 4: Rogers the guys twelve and ten of playoffs. All right,

1901
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 4: we know what he is in the regular season six

1902
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 4: to sixty nine win percentage. The guy, if he just

1903
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 4: doesn't get in the way of himself, is gonna win

1904
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 4: ball games for the Steelers.

1905
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 2: But okay, so I'm gonna go back to describe Janet

1906
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 2: Jackson and said what have you done.

1907
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 3: For me lately?

1908
01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:06,640
Speaker 2: And I'm not even saying that, and I get that

1909
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 2: he's been hurt. I get that he's been hurt. I'm

1910
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 2: not knocking that. But like when you look at Aaron

1911
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 2: Rodgers in the last five years, if you look at

1912
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,839
Speaker 2: the first two and a half, he's playing MVP level football,

1913
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:24,120
Speaker 2: right and he won one last six, just making six

1914
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 2: because he want three MVPs in that stretch.

1915
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:28,959
Speaker 3: Yea, you know, the last.

1916
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 4: Three he's done more ayahuasca then playing football.

1917
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 2: He's ran for vice It was a campaign for vice president,

1918
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 2: you know.

1919
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 4: Like, and not only that, Mike de Fabo just said,

1920
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 4: no matter what he was doing, he too old for this.

1921
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. The guy was top ten.

1922
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 4: I need a sound effect for this. He touchdowns ten

1923
01:33:55,840 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 4: yards with no coach, throwing to all friends on the

1924
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:01,719
Speaker 4: cul de Sac.

1925
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:05,759
Speaker 14: Wizarre and calm. Why were his old friends there, Alex?

1926
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 14: Because feel has given too much hand. I'm telling you

1927
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 14: the Jets are gonna turn around this year. The Steelers

1928
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 14: are gonna turn around, and I will either be eating.

1929
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 4: Ramen or surfing turf this year because of it. You

1930
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 4: know what you sound like right now? Yes, I'm hot.

1931
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:26,800
Speaker 4: I'm hot.

1932
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 15: I mean generally, I can't believe people are this off

1933
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 15: of the last of the last few years around Aaron Rodgers,

1934
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:38,879
Speaker 15: it's been a bit of a circus.

1935
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 4: I just my thing is, I think two things are true.

1936
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 2: I think that Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback the

1937
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers have had in the last you call it, Okay,

1938
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 2: that's something that would be the same time.

1939
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 4: I also think that it doesn't matter.

1940
01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the same situation we've seen. We're looking

1941
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 2: eight wins, nine wins.

1942
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 4: Okay, let's do this.

1943
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:03,639
Speaker 3: Let's do this for a second. Let's go old school.

1944
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 4: You and I are number two pencil scan tron test

1945
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 4: takers because we're we're nineties kids. Let's go back to

1946
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 4: ABC D on the scantron. The Steelers blow it this

1947
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 4: year because Aaron Rodgers gets in his own way. Mike

1948
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 4: Tomlin doesn't address the offense of players as much as

1949
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 4: the media is alluding to.

1950
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:22,719
Speaker 3: He doesn't.

1951
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:26,800
Speaker 4: Is it a wide receiver walking off in some sort

1952
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 4: of wedding crashers rule number six breaking attention to himself

1953
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,000
Speaker 4: in a negative way, or is it D on the scantron, A,

1954
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 4: B and C.

1955
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 3: I hate to do that.

1956
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:36,679
Speaker 2: If you just lay it out that incredible multiple choice.

1957
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 2: My answer is e the other teams are just better.

1958
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 2: Oh god, I'm getting wrong, none of the additions that

1959
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:45,720
Speaker 2: they have.

1960
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 4: I think this.

1961
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 2: I think this the Steelers the only team in the NFL.

1962
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:50,439
Speaker 2: To my yeah, I think they're only team in the

1963
01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 2: NFL to replaced. They're leading passer, they're leading receiver, and

1964
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 2: they're leading rusher. And I think they got better at

1965
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 2: all three spots. I just don't think they got that

1966
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,400
Speaker 2: much better to where he's gonna make a difference in

1967
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 2: the AFC North and a grand scheme.

1968
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 4: They were second in the league in turnover differential to

1969
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 4: Buffalo plus sixteen second. That's taking care of the rock,

1970
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 4: doing the little things. They didn't have a so Aaron

1971
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:19,680
Speaker 4: Rodgers didn't have a coach. The Steelers had two quarterbacks,

1972
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 4: which is the age old saying you have none and

1973
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 4: we can't bring it all together to say they go

1974
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 4: ten and seven.

1975
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 3: Point of order. Why didn't Aaron Rodgers have a coach?

1976
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 4: Again, because Woody Johnson is an emotional adnational. When he

1977
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:37,600
Speaker 4: got embarrassed, and.

1978
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:43,800
Speaker 2: I'll put it like this, Aaron Rodgers had the every

1979
01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 2: opportunity to go up and hug Robert Salo on the sidelines,

1980
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 2: but instead put two hands right in his chest.

1981
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:55,680
Speaker 4: And sent them on his way. I need I need

1982
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 4: a water bottle over here, He'll get a water bottle.

1983
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of hot somebody who was notoriously hot tempered had

1984
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 2: a hot take that we're gonna pour some of Alex's

1985
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,639
Speaker 2: water all over. We'll get to that just a minute.

01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 2: just take my advice never change it. I'll come in

2012
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:17,439
Speaker 2: to your life on the Fox Sports Radio studios as

2013
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 2: Martin Weiss and Alex Monico and Alex Yep. One of

2014
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 2: the uh hot tempered hot takers in the NBA, Draymond Green,

2015
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 2: did the latter in this one.

2016
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 3: He had a hot take. You tweeted out and said, uh.

2017
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 2: Quote, I find it interesting that players get bad for

2018
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 2: load management, but rookies get shut down during summer league

2019
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 2: these days.

2020
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 3: Fascinating a.

2021
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 2: Wow, profound Uh In fact, it is not fascinating, Like

2022
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 2: it's not fascinating.

2023
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 4: What do you what do you like?

2024
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 7: What do you do?

2025
01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,360
Speaker 4: This is I can't stand this.

2026
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 2: People do this all the time, but it's like, oh man,

2027
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 2: you were late to work. Well, I killed his dog.

2028
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 2: Like yo, these things are not equivalent, like these things

2029
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 2: are different. The summer league is. At this time of

2030
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 2: summer league, it is people like you and me, aren't there?

2031
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 2: Like that poor boy you got dunked on. That's all

2032
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 2: I saw.

2033
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,680
Speaker 3: All you gotta say, Noah s and gay, But he

2034
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 3: was actually like a top ten pick.

2035
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 4: I get that.

2036
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 2: But my point is nobody knows that now he may

2037
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:37,600
Speaker 2: go into the NBA and continue and be successful.

2038
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. He's gonna have to do

2039
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 3: a whole lot to live this down.

2040
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 2: But this might be you know what I'm saying, Are

2041
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 2: you know even better? Johnny Furfey, the guy that dunked

2042
01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:47,120
Speaker 2: on him?

2043
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 3: This might be it.

2044
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 2: That might be it your boys and gay. He might

2045
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 2: have a fifteen year NBA courage, Johnny Firfree.

2046
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 4: That might be it.

2047
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 3: You don't associate me with him. You are associated.

2048
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:00,639
Speaker 4: But it's just like sous.

2049
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 3: You don't agree with it. You don't agree with it. No,

2050
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,840
Speaker 3: you do agree. I don't agree, all right, I don't agree.

2051
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 4: So I mean your your job is to protect the

2052
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,760
Speaker 4: number one draft pick, to make sure he's ready on

2053
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 4: opening on opening night and he dropped thirty one in

2054
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:13,960
Speaker 4: his second game.

2055
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 3: What else?

2056
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 4: What else do we need to see outside of him

2057
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 4: being sustained health wise for game one of the Maverick season.

2058
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 3: Are you with me on that? I? I personally don't care.

2059
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 2: I used to DVR Summer League games when both DVR

2060
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 2: and Summer League. Back in those Orlando, Utah, Vegas Summer

2061
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:38,600
Speaker 2: League days, I was really locked in.

2062
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 3: And I know, I don't love the fact now that

2063
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 3: if you know, I've went.

2064
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 2: To summer leagues where the first round picks are playing persistently,

2065
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:48,640
Speaker 2: and I don't love the fact now that it's like

2066
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 2: they're not like that anymore. Yeah, like that, Like, but

2067
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,479
Speaker 2: I can't get super broken up about it because it

2068
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 2: is at the end of the day, an exit and

2069
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 2: a situation where it's much more. It's like the combine.

2070
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 2: It's like a post combine almost like a combine is

2071
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 2: not for Caleb Williams, it is, you know what, just

2072
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 2: going to say, a seventh round pick who's trying to

2073
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:19,479
Speaker 2: like that these guys are trying to make the team.

2074
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Martin. If you're a MAVs fan, Shindo Cooper Flack,

2075
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 4: who's been playing with grown men in the NBA for

2076
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:29,680
Speaker 4: offseason's plural. We know the guy can compete against other

2077
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 4: NBA players. How about a guy if you're a Mavericks

2078
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 4: fan like Nemhart Okay, can he be like his brother?

2079
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 4: He's out there, he's getting pt. He looked phenomenal when

2080
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 4: he was I watched him, particularly against the Lakers. But

2081
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 4: that's a guy that summer league's more so for in

2082
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 4: my humble opinion. Sure, and someone like a lottery pick,

2083
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:49,840
Speaker 4: let alone the number one overall pick.

2084
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 2: Draymond went on to say, a regular season game. Oh

2085
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 2: but a regular season game on a soft Tuesday in

2086
01:41:56,640 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 2: January matters for players. Seems like the equivalent to me. Also,

2087
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:03,600
Speaker 2: you miss how I guess he's responding to somebody. You

2088
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 2: miss half the point. Most teams make these decisions. It's

2089
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 2: rarely the player. I think that's the problem. I think

2090
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: we are talking about the big problem out loud. It

2091
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 2: reminds me of when Lebron said the n season Tournament

2092
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 2: was gonna work because the financial benefit that players got,

2093
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:24,599
Speaker 2: and he said, I'll never forget this. He goes, because

2094
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 2: when you put out an incentive like that in front

2095
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 2: in front of a bunch of alpha males, do you

2096
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:30,559
Speaker 2: get the highest level of competition?

2097
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 3: And my thought was like, bright, you know you get

2098
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:35,679
Speaker 3: paid for every other game you play.

2099
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 4: Too. Was before the meet the Parents medal he got

2100
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,519
Speaker 4: the year they got routed by the Nuggets in the

2101
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:44,400
Speaker 4: first round, or after he won the medal.

2102
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:46,960
Speaker 2: This was this was back when they were making the

2103
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 2: argument for the n season tournament.

2104
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 4: That's all work. But it's like.

2105
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 2: The idea that Draymond Green is equating a Tuesday night

2106
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 2: game in January to the third league game of summer League.

2107
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 3: The calls coming from inside.

2108
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 11: The house, that's a great ball, Like, what do you

2109
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 11: mean a soft There should be no such thing as

2110
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:12,759
Speaker 11: a soft Tuesday in January.

2111
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:14,720
Speaker 4: I understand you have different opponents.

2112
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 2: I understand that you have different like sure, maybe you're okay,

2113
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:22,599
Speaker 2: like you're going to the win on Wednesday may mean

2114
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 2: more than the win on Tuesday. We see NFL teams

2115
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 2: do that. Oh you got a Thursday. You know you

2116
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 2: got a Sunday night er against a division rival. Maybe

2117
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,759
Speaker 2: you know you're pulling your guy. You have a Thursday

2118
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 2: night er. If a Sunday night game against nobody on

2119
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 2: a Thursday night against the division rival, maybe you're pulling

2120
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 2: your quarterback in the fourth quarter if you're.

2121
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 4: Up big, but you better be up. You have to

2122
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:44,600
Speaker 4: be up or down. The game better be not in

2123
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 4: the balance.

2124
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 2: That'd be like, you know what I'm saying, Like the

2125
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:50,720
Speaker 2: idea that a soft Tuesday in January exists, but.

2126
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 4: That game counts.

2127
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 3: This game doesn't exactly. Like That's my point. All of

2128
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 3: them count.

2129
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 2: The first one of eighty two to the eighty second

2130
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 2: of the eighty two game count. And the only way

2131
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 2: to measure your playoff spots is by how many games

2132
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 2: it win or lose. They do count, So I mean

2133
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 2: they some I mean it's all one in the win

2134
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:13,640
Speaker 2: or lost call. I get that some of them are

2135
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:16,679
Speaker 2: against teams that shouldn't even feel like a real NBA team.

2136
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 2: Or it's in March and the Wizards are fielding a

2137
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 2: team that wouldn't.

2138
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 3: Even wouldn't win in the G League.

2139
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 2: But you still gotta go win it because if you

2140
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 2: lose that game, you're gonna drop in your playoff seamons. Anyway,

2141
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 2: I just think NBA players should care more about the

2142
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,679
Speaker 2: regular season. And with that, we'll kick it over Steve

2143
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:38,360
Speaker 2: just Seger because that's a hopeless cause. But Steve, you

2144
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:39,840
Speaker 2: will bring light in levity to.

2145
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,759
Speaker 7: Hopeless cause I assumed you were talking about the defense

2146
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 7: in this w NBA All.

2147
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was swinging. I missed by us the rare

2148
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,680
Speaker 2: swinging a mission on for the entirety to see. You know,

2149
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 2: most of the time I'm at home when I'm like, well,

2150
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 2: I was really wrong on that one.

2151
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,600
Speaker 7: Well, it's an All Star game in hoops. Let's just

2152
01:44:56,760 --> 01:45:00,760
Speaker 7: say that it's just gone final. Team Collier winner one

2153
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 7: fifty one to one thirty one. That would be the

2154
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,920
Speaker 7: highest scoring w NBA All Star Game ever and team

2155
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:11,599
Speaker 7: captain Nefisa Collier, I assume will be game MVP. After all,

2156
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:13,679
Speaker 7: In only eighteen and a half minutes on the court,

2157
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:18,559
Speaker 7: she had thirty six points and nine rebounds. The losing side,

2158
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:23,040
Speaker 7: team Clark Caitlin Clark injured from three point range, was

2159
01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 7: nineteen for sixty four. Some of those, of course four

2160
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 7: point shots. They had a couple of four.

2161
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 2: Point See, I wanted the Caitlin Clark's team shooting percent

2162
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 2: is not Kitlin Clark on the road this year.

2163
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 7: Actually, this was better than Clark Clark on the road

01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 7: the top eight selections in Round two got guaranteed money.

2205
01:47:44,160 --> 01:47:45,640
Speaker 7: That is a first back to you.

2206
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:49,120
Speaker 2: You want to find fascinating, Steve, and the irony of

2207
01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:53,640
Speaker 2: all of these collusion NFLPA, all this and all of

2208
01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 2: a sudden second round picked. You know what, maybe we

2209
01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:58,880
Speaker 2: can ful to guarantee that contract pick number thirty five.

2210
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:02,600
Speaker 7: And what if you're selection number forty one overall and

2211
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 7: you don't get a guaranteed and everybody, literally everybody above

2212
01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:11,639
Speaker 7: you in the draft, first and second round does get guaranteed. Buddy,

2213
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:13,719
Speaker 7: exactly how did that line get drawn?

2214
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's great thought.

2215
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:21,280
Speaker 2: Apparently if Lloyd Howell's onill, my agents still be working

2216
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,240
Speaker 2: for I was about to say agents will be fired,

2217
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:25,800
Speaker 2: and if Lloyd Howell was up to it, we'll never know.

2218
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 2: We'll never know that's the case. Thanks, Steve, appreciate you

01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:56,320
Speaker 3: He's going going back back to Portland.

2228
01:48:56,439 --> 01:49:02,160

Speaker 2: with no trade clause.

2230
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,280

2231
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 4: Dame Lillard, because I mean, I.

2232
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,200
Speaker 2: Don't know if if I tell you this, you want

2233
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 2: to talk about being picked up for thirty seven. I

2234
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:16,639
Speaker 2: get garantee money. If I'm in a player option agent,

2235
01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:20,360
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Dame's back in Portland after that

2236
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:22,440
Speaker 2: little dalliance in Milwaukee.

2237
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:24,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna cost.

2238
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 2: Them twenty two point some million dollars over the next five,

2239
01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 2: spread out to the next five, over and over and

2240
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 2: over again for the Bucks to get rid of Damian Lillard.

2241
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 3: And Dan goes back home. I'm living, I'm living, he

2242
01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 3: says this to me.

2243
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:45,640
Speaker 4: Is I'm rehabbing in Portland's I'll be down the street. Anyways,

2244
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:49,080
Speaker 4: Let's not think about next year. Let's just do the

2245
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 4: easy thing, the comfortable thing. And I gotta be honest.

2246
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 4: If you are a player fan and not a Blazer

2247
01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 4: span of Dame Lillard like I am, the guy is

2248
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 4: not only leaving food on the table, He's leaving a

2249
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 4: legacy that could have been much better because he's going

2250
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 4: to Portland to do what stat stuff, win thirty three

2251
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 4: games and help nobody when he already got the bread Martin,

2252
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:20,639
Speaker 4: and he could have just rehab, been patient and gone

2253
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:24,599
Speaker 4: to a contender. All this who blow all these years

2254
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 4: and he just goes home.

2255
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 3: I'm furious, So I'd say this. I can understand where

2256
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:35,080
Speaker 3: you're coming from, But I do think.

2257
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 2: That the national media in general overlooks the fan experience

2258
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,639
Speaker 2: of like the average fan, not the La New York.

2259
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:53,080
Speaker 4: Me right now, I get it. I get it.

2260
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:56,320
Speaker 2: Like even San Diego for the Padres, is big market, right,

2261
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, like they're spending, right,

2262
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,519
Speaker 2: I know you're San Diego, that's your team. They're gonna

2263
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 2: spend like, they'll go get machiato, they'll go get to tease.

2264
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 2: They understand the competition in the division, and so on

2265
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 2: and so so like. But again, I grew up going

2266
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:16,320
Speaker 2: to games in a stadium in which half of half

2267
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,920
Speaker 2: of half was full, and of that half people had

2268
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:21,880
Speaker 2: on paper bags over their heads because they were saw

2269
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 2: a Shane Rufe of the team.

2270
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:23,559
Speaker 3: Smoothie King.

2271
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:25,759
Speaker 2: They didn't want to be safer them across the street.

2272
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 2: They did not want to be caught on camera ruining

2273
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:31,120
Speaker 2: for the team. They put paper bags over their heads.

2274
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:36,840
Speaker 2: Do I think that Damian Lillard is gonna go to

2275
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:38,440
Speaker 2: Portland and win a championship?

2276
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 4: No? This was This was the whole narrative. They didn't

2277
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 4: do enough for him. He goes he could have went.

2278
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 4: I was hearing murmurs he was getting recruited to Golden State.

2279
01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:52,360
Speaker 4: I was hearing rumors he would go to LA I

2280
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 4: was hearing that maybe Miami. All those are compelling options.

2281
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 4: We already know this story. It's like, I don't know

2282
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:03,160
Speaker 4: you're taking us. I'm trying to think of like a

2283
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 4: movie reference or redoing the movie. And when is the

2284
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:09,919
Speaker 4: redo Mean Girls twenty twenty four better than the original?

2285
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:10,400
Speaker 7: Never?

2286
01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 4: I'm furious Martin. I am he is robbing NBA fans

2287
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:20,280
Speaker 4: of a guy at thirty five that could be a

2288
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:24,880
Speaker 4: key integral part of a championship team. He's gonna go

2289
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 4: play with who Jeremy Grant.

2290
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 2: We will continue this conversation on the other side, but

2291
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:33,799
Speaker 2: I do want to take one moment here. As Brianna

2292
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:40,360
Speaker 2: Stewart's being interviewed by Holly row On THEWNBA postgame telecast

2293
01:52:40,400 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 2: as Visa Collier did win the MVP Courtney Williams, and

2294
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:45,679
Speaker 2: now is another player who's the sign is actually blocking

2295
01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:48,360
Speaker 2: her face. Has a sign over Holly Rowe, who is

2296
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:52,560
Speaker 2: obviously significantly shorter than the players she's interviewing. It just

2297
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,360
Speaker 2: has Holly row Pay like she's wearing pay the players

2298
01:52:55,360 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 2: almost as a crown over her head.

2299
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,080
Speaker 3: On what has been the biggest stage.

2300
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:03,439
Speaker 2: In WNBA maybe in the last or I should say

2301
01:53:03,479 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 2: this one of the three biggest stages in the w

2302
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 2: NBA since Kateler Clark has been a part of this league.

2303
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, bruh, the rest of the professor of

2304
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 2: the league's could take note of these athletes because they

2305
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:19,240
Speaker 2: are like, they are doing stuff that no Roger they

2306
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 2: would never in the end, the NFL would never.

2307
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 4: What never?

2308
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 2: Coming up next, I'm gonna tell you just why Alex

2309
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:31,200
Speaker 2: is a little misguided. He's not wrong, I'm not upset,

2310
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm not mad. I'm just a little disappointed. Opinion on

2311
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 2: Damian Little. We get to that coming up next, all right,

2312
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 2: So I have a take on this and we have

2313
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 2: time for it. Tommy Richmond, this song Million Dollar Baby,

2314
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:51,880
Speaker 2: I've never been a big industry plant guy. I've heard

2315
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:54,560
Speaker 2: three of his songs from this guy, I'm convinced that

2316
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 2: the only reason this song exists was to make the

2317
01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 2: wingstock commercial.

2318
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:00,600
Speaker 4: Tell me I'm mine. I don't know, man, tell me

2319
01:54:00,640 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 4: I'm lying.

2320
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:03,920
Speaker 3: For the rest of the music I heard from this dude,

2321
01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:04,639
Speaker 3: I'm like, Yo, who.

2322
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 4: Is this joke? You didn't like? Devil was a lie?

2323
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 3: It was a good one.

2324
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 2: That's the second, the first big the second biggest lie

2325
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:13,320
Speaker 2: the devil ever told was saying that song was good.

2326
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 3: The first one was Andrew Wiggins and that Steph Curry

2327
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:19,400
Speaker 3: Championship twenty twenty two.

2328
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, where did this guy come from? Never

2329
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:24,040
Speaker 2: to be seen since from before or since?

2330
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:24,600
Speaker 3: I love it?

2331
01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 2: Andrew Wigs all of a sudden, just the second best

2332
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 2: player in the championship team?

2333
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 4: Who fake you would it would have guessed?

2334
01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 3: What a drop into the half pipe For the last segment.

2335
01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:33,000
Speaker 4: Here, so.

2336
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:41,240
Speaker 3: Damian Lillard goes back to Portland and you know you.

2337
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 2: Alex Monico, Actually I should say Martin Wise joined here

2338
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:48,920
Speaker 2: with Alex Monico. Thanks for joining us. Jason Martin and

2339
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 2: Aaron Torres up next. I don't remember a time until

2340
01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:02,120
Speaker 2: the last year. I said last eighteen months when Damian

2341
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 2: Lidler was in Portland where he was like not only

2342
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 2: do not only did he not say I don't want

2343
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:10,480
Speaker 2: to leave? He says I want to be here, this

2344
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 2: is where I want to win, And like it's like

2345
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:16,920
Speaker 2: what Devin Booker essentially is doing in this moment, right,

2346
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:18,600
Speaker 2: It's like I want to be in Phoenix.

2347
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's I don't care for it.

2348
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 4: For Devin Bookers.

2349
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:24,520
Speaker 2: I think he's a player that if he swung to

2350
01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:26,960
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference, could really actually make a massive difference

2351
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:30,880
Speaker 2: wing the Eastern Conference. But there's something to me, there

2352
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 2: is something that touches twelve year old Martin's heart to

2353
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 2: know that Damian Liller did not want to leave until

2354
01:55:38,400 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 2: it got so bad that he felt like he you

2355
01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, he had to.

2356
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.

2357
01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:50,360
Speaker 3: I've heard a little bit about this, how what's the

2358
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 3: best ending?

2359
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 4: Like what is the best? Like Dame is thirty two,

2360
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:58,920
Speaker 4: thirty one, whatever it is, this is going to be

2361
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 4: the end of it. Thirty five, my god, way off.

2362
01:56:04,560 --> 01:56:08,800
Speaker 2: But either way, at thirty five, this is the end, right,

2363
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 2: this is gonna be the end of like this, this

2364
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 2: Achilles is not gonna be a massive, super high level

2365
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 2: impact player, right if he can come to Portland, the

2366
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: next time he takes the court will be this massive

2367
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,920
Speaker 2: coordination that everybody in there will be clapping. It'll leave

2368
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 2: Sports Center, It'll there'll be kids crying and whatever.

2369
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:37,760
Speaker 3: The Motive Center, I think, yeah, there will be kids

2370
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:38,440
Speaker 3: crying in.

2371
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:42,680
Speaker 4: That room, crying because they're nineteen and forty and because

2372
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:43,240
Speaker 4: Damn's back.

2373
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 3: But here's the thing they sucked before anyway.

2374
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,680
Speaker 2: But also too, I thought this when I saw the number,

2375
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:52,840
Speaker 2: I was like, three years, forty two million.

2376
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 3: Okay, it's about the mid level exception. And in a

2377
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 3: world where.

2378
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:06,080
Speaker 2: Brad Beal is getting player options and Marcus Smart, like

2379
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 2: when buyout players are getting player options.

2380
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 3: Just ask anyone who's came to LA. You could do

2381
01:57:12,480 --> 01:57:14,680
Speaker 3: a lot worse than a.

2382
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 2: Two year, a two year, twenty eight million dollar contract

2383
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:23,280
Speaker 2: for Damian Lilich.

2384
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 4: There's no point part of you that thinks he's duck

2385
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 4: in the smoke here. I just don't buy that he wanted.

2386
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:33,240
Speaker 4: I genuinely think mid thirties on the back nine. I

2387
01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 4: live here, I'm rehabbing here. I don't belong to any

2388
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 4: team right now, all this re sign and I'll flip

2389
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 4: the narrative because of twelve year old Martin's heart, he

2390
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 4: knows there's gonna be a lot of fuel, good positive

2391
01:57:50,160 --> 01:57:54,400
Speaker 4: press or reality is, he won nothing in his entire career.

2392
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:56,080
Speaker 3: He won nothing.

2393
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 4: And he's one of the most clutch players in the league. Sure,

2394
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 4: one of the most decorated point guards in these kind

2395
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:06,400
Speaker 4: of playoff moments for sure. Yeah. And and this guy

2396
01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:11,120
Speaker 4: used to take on the challenge, win at Russell Westbrook,

2397
01:58:11,160 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 4: win at Paul George in his face, tapped his wrists.

2398
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:17,800
Speaker 4: Now to me, he's taking easy way out. It's almost

2399
01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:21,400
Speaker 4: like kid leaves the nest, goes to the big city,

2400
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 4: gets a little scared, pushed around, didn't work out like

2401
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 4: the movies, goes back to base camp, plays a safe

2402
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 4: He already knows this result.

2403
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 3: Oh the irony that holiday's back there too.

2404
01:58:32,320 --> 01:58:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm very disappointed, Martin, because this guy could have been

2405
01:58:36,040 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 4: a sixth Man of the Year next year. He could

2406
01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 4: have been on a polarizing team. Now we're gonna watch

2407
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 4: him huck.

2408
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 2: Up, please see or getting to the point, could have

2409
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 2: been on a polarizing team.

2410
01:58:47,440 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 3: You know what it is, you're mad he's gonna be boring.

2411
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 2: That's your issue, and I understand its.

2412
01:58:56,840 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 4: Imagine Dave Lillard on the Lakers next year, all through bench.

2413
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 3: Next year, he's off right, let's saying next year. He's saying, man,

2414
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:09,160
Speaker 3: next year, next year, the year after next. But that's

2415
01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 3: the thing.

2416
01:59:11,760 --> 01:59:15,240
Speaker 2: We I'm not if you the year before the Indiana

2417
01:59:15,320 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 2: Pacers went to the Eastern Conference Finals for this first run.

2418
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:19,800
Speaker 3: You never would have thought it could have happened.

2419
01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying new Portland Trail Blazers is about to

2420
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 2: go on some crazy run, but I do notice the

2421
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:26,040
Speaker 2: NBA is going towards size.

2422
01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:29,640
Speaker 3: They got it, and I think that while they are

2423
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 3: not going to be a very competitive.

2424
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:36,640
Speaker 2: Team next season, season after that, you could sell me

2425
01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 2: on them being a team that is potentially fighting for

2426
01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:42,960
Speaker 2: a not necessarily home court, but to stay out of

2427
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:45,200
Speaker 2: the play in spot. And I think if you're in

2428
01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:47,720
Speaker 2: that spot and you have Damian Lillard coming off your

2429
01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:50,680
Speaker 2: bench and you have Drew holl like that to me

2430
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:53,360
Speaker 2: is a kind of a level of foundation, because what

2431
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:56,440
Speaker 2: happens with all these other teams that suck, like the Hornets,

2432
01:59:56,680 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 2: they don't have a dame to come back they also

2433
01:59:58,280 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 2: don't have. Like I said, if Marcus Farsan with a

2434
01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:02,360
Speaker 2: horn as, I'd be into it because Son's got to

2435
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 2: be a pro. You can watch Damian Littman rehab and

2436
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:07,480
Speaker 2: see how he attacks his rehabits. I do think he's

2437
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:10,360
Speaker 2: gonnattack that crazy and just watch so Drew Holliday carries himself.

2438
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:13,840
Speaker 2: If you're like Shad and sharpen that, I don't hate

2439
02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:16,080
Speaker 2: it as much as everybody. I give your point, but

2440
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't hate it because not everybody can win.

2441
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 4: There is a positive pm W storyline to this. I'm

2442
02:00:23,320 --> 02:00:26,840
Speaker 4: just not buying it. I'm in the business of big

2443
02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 4: names in big cities, and he's all, now he's going

2444
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:35,960
Speaker 4: to again. Yeah, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna play

2445
02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 4: his career out in the playing tournament like that. It's like,

2446
02:00:39,120 --> 02:00:40,320
Speaker 4: what are you doing in a small market.

2447
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:42,640
Speaker 3: I want to root for the big guys. I know

2448
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 3: this big money markets right now coming up next
