19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: know what it looked like. There was an eclipse first

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: a week ago, and I couldn't see anything but clouds.

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: The sun is out. I'm wearing shorts now and everything

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: is great. I love this time of the year. Even

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: know why I live here. I mean you know, I

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: hate the winter. It's great, it gets dark at four

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: thirty in the afternoon. I don't get it. I mean,

26
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: I used to live in the South and it was great,

27
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: and now I'm here, but who knows.

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: I just my wife likes the seasons. I think that's why.

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: You know, I couldn't relate when I lived in Florida

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: that on Christmas Day people were walking around in shorts

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: and t shirts and I had the decorations on their lown.

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: It didn't make sense. What's wrong? It looked like an

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: out of space thing.

34
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, it's definitely a little different.

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: But look, I'm glad you get to enjoy all.

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: Four Yes, thank you, thank you, fucking thank you so much.

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: Hey.

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: By the way, I want to talk a little bit

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: about these NBA playoffs. You know what it's like, it's

40
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: never ending, really and truly. I mean I'm going to

41
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: ask you this, what's worse the Major League Baseball Playoffs

42
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: or the NBA playoffs. I mean, I know, back in

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: the day, the first rounds were like best three out

44
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: of five, which is great, and.

45
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: I get it.

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: I understand why the owners won a seven game series

47
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: all the way through money it's all about money. You know,

48
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: when you have a doubt, when there's a question, walk

49
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: in your mind about anything anywhere, anytime. It's all about

50
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: the green cabbage, it's about the gelt. It's about money.

51
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: That's why they expend the players. But still, in all,

52
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: come on, I mean, what is it going to end?

53
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: You know, when the Knicks beat the Lakers back in

54
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy, everything was over by May tenth. The entire

55
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: championship is over May tenth. We're going into the second

56
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: round now and it's made the fifth. Come on, I mean,

57
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: give me a break. And the overlapping into the other

58
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: sports is killing I think it's killing the other sports.

59
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: I really do.

60
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 4: Well.

61
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 5: I think everything is having a tough time, like right now,

62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: outside of football, I think all the other sports are

63
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 5: having a tough time just trying to find their footing.

64
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 5: With basketball d NBA, I mean, for so long, it's

65
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: going to the middle of June and it continues to

66
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: go into the middle of you know of June. But

67
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 5: the issue I think people have with basketball, the the

68
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: regular season just doesn't mean anything with low man, with

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 5: players sitting in and out. We've had so many of

70
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 5: the stars sitting on the sideline due to injuries. You're

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 5: just trying to figure out, how can we get our

72
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 5: best guys to play when it matters to most because

73
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: right now in the postseason, we're missing a lot of

74
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 5: our stars.

75
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: Well I always say this, You're right about that, But

76
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: to be quite honest with you, I mean to be positive.

77
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: This Knicks series, that the Knicks just beat the seventies

78
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: six that was a great series. It really was.

79
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: It was exciting. I watched it.

80
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: You know, if you tally the amount of points and

81
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: the Knicks won in six games. The Knicks just had

82
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: one more point. They outscored Philadelphia the seventy sixties by

83
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: one point in the entire six game series. That's an

84
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: unbelievable statistics. And they went down by you know, sometimes

85
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: like six seven points with a couple of seconds to

86
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: go in one game, and they came back and Jalen

87
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: Brunson's playing out of his mind. So I look, I

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: think that you got to give credit to what credits due.

89
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: Was a great series and I enjoyed it. I'm not

90
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: so certain about the other series out there, but I

91
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: will say this, I talk about the seventy sixes and

92
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: you talk about, you know, under handed stuff. I mean,

93
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: if you want to do something like this, keep it

94
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: on the down low. I mean, because one in doubt,

95
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: I guess the owners of the seventy six is, you know,

96
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: buy what you own. What do I mean by that?

97
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: There's a couple of seventy sixies owners. Michael Rubin, the

98
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: former minority owner. He tweeted, I think the other day

99
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: he and a couple of the other owners they purchased

100
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: two thousand seats for last Thursday's Game six so Nick

101
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: fans can access them. This is unbelievable. Really, I mean,

102
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. He says, we can't let and this

103
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: is on Twitter or ze with x Y, whatever you

104
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: want to call it, we can't let nick fans take

105
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 2: over our arena again.

106
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: Well, what's that all about? I mean, is that fair sportsmanship?

107
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

108
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: I read that and I say, really, I mean, come on,

109
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: you know you're buying out. I'm glad you lost because

110
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: I think it's a cheap, low class move.

111
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: Buy to let people know about it.

112
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 6: Though.

113
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: Nevertheless, if you want to do it doing on the

114
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: down low, buy the tickets and maybe give them away

115
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: the underprivileged in the Philadelphia area or whatever first respondent is,

116
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do, But to announce that that

117
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: that's that's low. I thought it was real low buck Well.

118
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I understand, you know, from a from a

119
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 5: business standpoint, why you want all those tickets gone, But

120
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 5: from a competitive standpoint, I also understand why you don't

121
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 5: want those tickets to end up wind up in Knicks

122
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 5: fans hands. You don't want to play a home game

123
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: and feel like you're playing in the msg uh. And

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 5: that's what happened the other night. You had a bunch

125
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: of Knicks fans that just took over. They took over

126
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 5: the stadium, that took over the arena, and it was

127
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 5: uncomfortable being in a home game where it felt like

128
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: you were the road team. I understand why, you know,

129
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 5: the Sixers ownership felt like they had to do something.

130
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 5: They had to do something to take it back because

131
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: it was impacting the game, impacting the way that his

132
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 5: team played.

133
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: You don't like it.

134
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 5: You would like to think that all of those teams,

135
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 5: that all the people that purchased those tickets during the

136
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: regular season, they would retain those tickets, But it's not that,

137
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 5: And so I actually applaud the owner for taking it

138
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: in his own hands and making sure that the home

139
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: arena was a safe haven for his team as opposed

140
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: to a place that was a hostile environment.

141
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: You wouldn't call up poor sportsmanship. I understand what you're saying.

142
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: With Joelleenbid of the seventies sixties. After the game the

143
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: other game, when the I think it was Brunches scored

144
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: forty seven, he says that, wells Fargo Arena sounded like

145
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden South. So what you know that that's

146
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: on you and your fans. I mean, you know, give

147
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: them something that ch'er about. That's what I'm saying. I

148
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: think it's somewhat poor sportsmanship.

149
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe well, I mean I can't imagine, like I mean,

150
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: I imagine being there for a Bengals game and the

151
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 5: Raiders take over the stadium.

152
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: They completely take over the stadium.

153
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 5: It's a two to one ratio of Raiders fans in

154
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 5: Cincinnati and Paul Brown State, and that's the ratio. I

155
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 5: don't think anybody in Cincinnati would want that. And in

156
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 5: a big playoff series where the crowd does have an

157
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 5: impact in terms of escalating the pressure, yeah, you some

158
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: don't want the next to take that over.

159
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: Well, I hear what you're saying.

160
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: I think you bring up great point because I'm gonna

161
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: talk about the Cincinnati Bengals there for you. Number One,

162
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: I think there's a difference between fans doing it and

163
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: ownership doing it. Number one. Number two, when the Pittsburgh

164
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: Steelers come to Cincinnati, those Steeler fans may be the

165
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: best fans in all the sports. They travel all over

166
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: the place. I watch Steeler games on TV. I'm seeing

167
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: them in Seattle. It's unbelievable with the flags and all

168
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: that stuff, you know, with the thirty towels that have everything.

169
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: Steeler fans that the greatest. So what the Cincinnati Bengal

170
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: fans do they sell that I've heard this. They sell

171
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: their tickets for that game to the Steeler fans that

172
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: come from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati. And with the money they

173
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: get because they're Steeler fans paying big bucks, the money

174
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: they get for that game, that'll pay for their season

175
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: ticket package for the following year. You know. So I

176
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: get that. I mean, fans are I think a little

177
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: different than ownership, you know. But ownership obviously is a

178
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: little more invested into the team, maybe so than the fans.

179
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, one hundred percent.

180
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: If I own the team, I'm really invested in it

181
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: like a fan. Is sure for a fanatic, but if

182
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: they're willing to give up this seat, they can't all

183
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: the way love it because if they were fanatical about

184
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: the team, they would be there at every game unless

185
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: there's a family event or something that came up that

186
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: prevented them. But when they bought the season tickets, the

187
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: expectation is that you're going to be there for all

188
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: of the games during the regular season, you know, and

189
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 5: I understand that. I applaud that, and I love like

190
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 5: the passion that Sixer fans display, but they are quick

191
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: to turn the tide when it doesn't appear to be

192
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: going their way. When you put that kind of mentality

193
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 5: and element in a building that is supposed to be

194
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: your safe haven, you're asking for trouble. So I can

195
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 5: only imagine why and how the young Knicks have been

196
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 5: able to move past the Sixers, with Jayden Brunston and

197
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 5: all those other guys kind of taking some of these

198
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,359
Speaker 5: things personally.

199
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: Okay, quick question, when you played the game, you did

200
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: play the game in the National Football League. Best fans

201
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: and worst fans and you played four and against.

202
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: That's tough because I feel like I was fortunate, like

203
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 5: having played for the Bills, the Jaguars, the Raiders, Packers, Chiefs.

204
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 5: I would say, I would say, you know, the Packers,

205
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 5: the Packers, Chiefs, and Raiders are bar none. But I

206
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: can also say Buffalo because they were coming off four

207
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: straight Super Bowl appearances. Each of those four fan bases

208
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 5: were passionate, they were there, they were unique. I would

209
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 5: say the national brand though, would fall to either the

210
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 5: Packers or the Raiders because they travel. The Packers are

211
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 5: like I mean, they travel like no other. Wherever the

212
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: Packers go, they're always old school Packer fans. They're willing

213
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 5: to show up. The same thing can be said for

214
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: the Raiders. So it's a coin for the between the

215
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 5: Packers and the Raiders.

216
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: For me, like what you're saying there, Now another thing

217
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: I got to go off my chest. And I've gone

218
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: down the road with this with you before, with this

219
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark thing. Okay, and look I'm not taking anything

220
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: away what she has done, records, statistics, packing arenas, you know,

221
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: elevating the women's game. It's tremendous, Okay, But people who

222
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: are writing about her media peal, take a step back,

223
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: take a breath, please, because it's getting out of control.

224
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: When they compared her stats to Pete Maravich, I went

225
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: ballistic because you don't compare men to women in sports.

226
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: That's my take. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm swimming upstream.

227
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: I just don't think you can because if you're going

228
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: to do that, compare them in every sport. Compared. I

229
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: said this before.

230
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: Compare the Major League Soccer to the Women's Soccer League.

231
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: Compare rugby to rugby. Compare to the Women's Ice Hockey

232
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: League to the National Hockey League.

233
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: You don't do it. You can't do it. But they're

234
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: doing it with Caitlin Clark. Now, there was an audicle

235
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: published in the Sports Gazette, the Daily Sports Gazette the

236
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: end of the day. I think the lady by name

237
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: is Sarah Johnson. She's comparing Caitlin Clark to Larry Bird.

238
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: Are you freaking kidding me? I mean, how do you

239
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: do that? I mean you're a journalist. I mean you

240
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 2: know what you're saying. Do you know what you're writing?

241
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: And a lot of the male fans took offense to

242
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: the comparison with Larry Bird, a three time NBA champion

243
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: with the Boston Celtics, one of the greatest players in

244
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: basketball history, and Caitlyn Clark, great player in college. Let

245
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: her do something in the WNBA first before you even go.

246
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: And even if she does something great, how do you

247
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: compare it to Larry Bird helped me out here.

248
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't get it. I really don't.

249
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 5: Well without really understanding context and how he made the comparison,

250
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: I don't know I could say. If he's saying, like

251
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: most impactful college players to jump into a professional league, yeah,

252
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I think you can put her name up

253
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: in there. Much like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson save

254
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: the NBA. Kaitlyn Clark is certainly bringing a lot of

255
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 5: attention to the w NBA. Just look at her first

256
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 5: preseason game and how she was able to drop buckets

257
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: right away, hitting twenty one points.

258
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: And people talking to her to the point.

259
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 5: Where she's even getting the weirdo questions right out the gate.

260
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: A lot of it depends on what are they saying

261
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: and how are they comparing Kaitlyn Clark to Larry Bird

262
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: just in terms of like shooting, in terms of what

263
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: you have in your toolbox those things with out knowing that,

264
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 5: with me leaning into what it has always kind of

265
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 5: been standard fair in the sports public, I would say

266
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: that she's they're probably touting Kaylyn Clark as like the

267
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: most impactful deba superstar to hit the league.

268
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, now, you're kind of like refreshing

269
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: my mind a little bit. I understand where you're coming from.

270
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: And also perhaps maybe the rivalry between Larry Bird and

271
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson and would kind of revolutionize the league because

272
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: when Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, I think first came

273
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: into the league, if I recall, the NBA was not

274
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: even on live TV. They had tape replay of games

275
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: on CBS at night and then became live. So I

276
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: think they did revolutionize it. And I think maybe that's

277
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: what they're pointing at. You're right, maybe Caitlin Clark is

278
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: doing that to the WNBAH. But again, I just I

279
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: think that it's an embarrassment. And I tell you why

280
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: I want to attack my brothers and sisters in the

281
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 2: media because I went to see Caitlin Clark play against

282
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: Indiana University this year in Bloomington. I drove out there

283
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: and after the game. I went to the postgame news conference,

284
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: and honestly, every question that was asked to the coaches

285
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: at that news conference, and I did ask a question.

286
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that in a second. Every question I

287
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: was asked. Every one of those people did not have

288
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: to attend the game. It was a general question that

289
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with the game. My question was

290
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: I asked the IOWA coach. I said, coach, how come

291
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: you were in the zone didn't go to man to man?

292
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: I said, they were killing you from the outside of

293
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: his zone. And everybody looked at me like I was

294
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 2: a freak. I mean, I'm watching the game. I mean,

295
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: I look, I'm not a savant, but I'm not a

296
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: basketball mavin. But I've watched a game. I was a

297
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: manager in high school. I knew what the coach was

298
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: were doing, and I kind of followed the game and

299
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: I looked that the zone was not working. Why not

300
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: go man to man?

301
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: And on?

302
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: These people in the media were looking at me like,

303
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: what are you doing here? I don't get it.

304
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: I don't think they study the game, and they don't

305
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: do their homework prior to going into a news cover

306
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: writing about it. I can't trust what they write about.

307
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. But maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm

308
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: being too too critical, you know, pull me back in,

309
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: tell them I'm too critical.

310
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: I don't know.

311
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: I mean I feel like there's a lot of like,

312
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: as I said, a lot of weirdo stuff around the

313
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: women's basketball game right now. You have people asking Caitlin

314
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 5: Clark where a boyfriend is at on game day. I

315
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 5: would say unnecessary questions like can we keep it kind

316
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: of to the game, But that's.

317
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: What people are doing. It's just a weird time right now.

318
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: And people have access to our athletes who never had

319
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 5: access to them before. So some of this is to

320
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: populate their feed and do things. But it is definitely

321
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 5: a changing dynamic in the media world when it comes

322
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: to covering the NFL.

323
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: Right And look, I'm not being critical. I'm just studying

324
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: a fact right now that I'll spin the dial either

325
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: locally or nationally listening to sports talk shows on the radio,

326
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: if I'm driving in the car from home, whatever i

327
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: may be doing, and a lot of times, I mean,

328
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: they wander off sports and they're talking about you know,

329
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: and maybe this is the way it's got to be.

330
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, maybe I'm wrong.

331
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean, they're talking music, they're talking the pop culture

332
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: they're talking about right now. You know what, there's other

333
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: stations on serious XM that I could listen to pop culture.

334
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: I want to hear sports, you know. I mean, in

335
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm saying, Wow, if they got to go

336
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: down that road, maybe maybe their tank is empty. With sports.

337
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: There's plenty to talk about in sports, don't you agree?

338
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: But there really is.

339
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: There is, But there's also the natural time where you're

340
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: trying to bring the casual in the person that casually

341
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 5: looks and attends the sport an event, trying to give

342
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: them a reason to be interested, to continue to be interested.

343
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: So I understand the tie in.

344
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 5: The main thing I would say is always, hey, man,

345
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: keep the main thing, the main thing.

346
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 4: What are we going to do?

347
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: What are we hoping to accomplish out of all of this?

348
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: And as long as they can kind of bring it

349
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 5: back to the game and keep it about the game,

350
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: then we're we're doing it. But when it veers too

351
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 5: far outside of that and we make it I would

352
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: say maybe bigger than what it really needs to be.

353
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 5: That's when we're prone to some of the hyperbole and

354
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: some of the stuff that's going on, some of the

355
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 5: stuff that's making you frustrated them.

390
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean I always want to.

391
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,679

Speaker 8: I'm doing good, guys. I listen every every Sunday.

00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: You are the one. You are the one, Stanley.

395
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm the one.

00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 6: All right?

397
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:11,960

00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: He's here.

400
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 3: I said, you picked a good day here.

401
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: Good.

402
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 8: Look, if you were told you could be one of

403
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 8: the most impactful players in the NFL, but you'd have

404
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 8: to change positions, would you do that?

405
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 4: Yeah? I would change.

406
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 5: I have already changed before I changed from being a

407
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: wide receiver to a dB. So yeah, I have to

408
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: go to any league. Yeah, I would do that.

409
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 8: I'm sorry I had the follows your career that close.

410
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 9: Okay, we all know that.

411
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 6: That Justice Fields is not.

412
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 8: An NFL quarterback. Why does it and the jokes around

413
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 8: about him return and kit shy doesn't they like your.

414
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 6: Deebo Samuel type guy and get.

415
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 8: Him the ball?

416
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 6: He would be fantastic in that position. Do you agree?

417
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: Maybe, But like he has to be wanting to do it.

418
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 5: I think the thing about like justin Fields and everything,

419
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 5: like he's.

420
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 4: A guy who right now in his mind.

421
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 5: Will say that, Look, I've had a level of success

422
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 5: in the National Football League, get quarterback. I've put up

423
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 5: like over a thousand rushing yards. I've done things that

424
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 5: other guys haven't done in the position. I would be

425
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: maybe slow to change right away immediately because he's played

426
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: quarterback all his life. Athletically, he absolutely could play another position,

427
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: but sometimes it takes a while for a young player

428
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: to maybe come to the realization that he won't be

429
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 5: able to play quarterback. I'm not ruling him out as

430
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 5: a quarterback, but I understand it, and I've seen the

431
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 5: scuttle butt about him potentially being a returner those things.

432
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: Who's got a ran sub for for when he worked

433
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 5: out of his pro Dade, Ohio state. He's certainly big

434
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: enough to be able to do it. It doesn't matter.

435
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 5: Are they ready to move him out of the quarterback

436
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 5: spot and is he ready to move away from it?

437
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: I just don't know yet, Like those questions have to

438
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 5: be answered before you can kind of put that on

439
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 5: a young quarterback to move to another position.

440
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: You don't really Glad Stanley brought that up. Stanley, thanks

441
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: for the call. Have a great day. Because you talk

442
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: about Justin Fields a return man, I mean he must

443
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 2: be reading our mines. Because the special teams coordinated for

444
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steel is Danny Smith. He was on a

445
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: podcast the other day and he mentioned that he'd liked

446
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: to see perhaps Justin Fields as a return man. Now, look,

447
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: I get it, because Russell Wilson's probably going to be

448
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback, correct. I mean, I don't think there's gonna

449
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: be much of a battle there. That got Russell Wilson,

450
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: that had Justin Fields, they got him from the Bears.

451
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: But I think Russell Wilson, with the experience and that's

452
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: the guy, Though't you think he's the man right now?

453
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 5: Look, I can't say that he's the guy right now.

454
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: I would say that he has to I'll play justin

455
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 5: fields and camp. So it's clearing the parent that he

456
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 5: may need to move around. This is what I'll say

457
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 5: when it comes to the justin fields experiment or whatever.

458
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 10: Like.

459
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 5: You just have to be careful when you're talking about

460
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 5: a guy who was a first round pick, a guy

461
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 5: who's played quarterback all of his life. He was a

462
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 5: baseball player, but he's a guy who has played quarterback

463
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: his entire life. That's not an easy move. Quarterbacks are

464
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: groomed differently, they're treated differently.

465
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 4: On the thing. It's hard to say.

466
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: Hey, man, like we're going to have you put down

467
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 5: the quarterback stuff and have you go and do some

468
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 5: other stuff. Even though this franchise has a history of

469
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 5: doing stuff with Cordell Stewart, you know Slash.

470
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: They moved him around and did some different things. He played.

471
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 5: A hybrid role until he became the full time starting

472
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 5: quarterback and did some things. Maybe I don't know. I

473
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 5: just think it's early. It's early to say, hey, let's

474
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: move him around, let's make him play a different position.

475
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: I'll be slow to kind of pull it off.

476
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny you mentioned the fact that Justin

477
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Fields ran the forty yard dash like four to four

478
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: and the combine back in twenty twenty one. But the

479
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: funny thing is if all the material that I've read

480
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: early on this week about the Danny Smith podcast saying

481
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: they'd like to see him be returned, man, I never

482
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: saw anything coming out of Justin Fiel's mouth. No one

483
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: ever asked him, He never said anything. And you know,

484
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: obviously it's got to be him. As you mentioned to Stanley,

485
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: you know it's something that he wants to do. I

486
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: don't think they can make him do it. Don't you

487
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: think it's something he'd want to do. Plus, the Steelers

488
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: have signed the return guy on Corderroll Patterson, that got him,

489
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: so I don't even know where he would fit in, right, Yeah.

490
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: I mean I think as a coach, though, like this

491
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: is one of your jobs. One of your jobs is

492
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: to always tap into your imagination, your creativity to see

493
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 5: how you can maximize every player on your roster. Justin

494
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 5: Fields is no different. If you're saying, hey, man, you're

495
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 5: gonna be a backup quarterback. But also we may give

496
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 5: you some return duties. We may see if you can

497
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 5: do some other stuff. Maybe that happens. I wouldn't I mean,

498
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: I wouldn't discount it. I'm just saying it's just gonna

499
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 5: be hard for a guy who is drafted in this

500
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: league as a first round pick at quarterback, who has

501
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 5: had success, who has won games in the league as

502
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 5: a quarterback, to now just up give up that dream

503
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 5: and do something else. It's a hard sale, and it's

504
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: a hard sale very very early in his tenure in Pittsburgh.

505
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 5: I just I just think you have to be careful

506
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: when you kind of lobb those things out in public,

507
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 5: because you just don't know how he is going to

508
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 5: take it if you haven't had that conversation with him

509
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 5: before in the building.

510
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think in his mind right now, and I

511
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: think he does want to go public with it. I mean,

512
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: he thinks that he has a very good shot to

513
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: be the number one quarterback and he's gonna battle it

514
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: out with Russell Wilson, I think, and Russell Wilson but

515
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: feels the same way. Hey, they got me, they probably

516
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: need me, and I'm going to be the man. So

517
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,239
Speaker 2: you know it's gonna be a good battle. That may

518
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: be one of the better battles for quarterbacks this this season.

519
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: In preseason camp, right, I would think.

520
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's gonna be interesting to see how

521
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: it plays out, right, And the reason why it to

522
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 5: be so interesting because you have a bunch of young

523
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 5: a bunch of people who are looking at Justin Fields,

524
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 5: and they're looking at the success or whatever that he's

525
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 5: had last two years. Like, when you think about it,

526
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: his passer rating last year was eighty six point point three.

527
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson's passer rating wasn't wasn't great last year.

528
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 4: So if you're Russell Wilson was at ninety eight.

529
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 5: The year before he was at eighty four, and he's

530
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 5: had some sess but he's a declining player. So maybe

531
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 5: if you're Justin Fields, you're saying, Hey, I'm gon get

532
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 5: a chance to play behind a guy that I idolized.

533
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm more talented than him at this stage of

534
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 5: his career. Maybe I can take the job from him,

535
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: or I learn enough from him that allows me to

536
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 5: be a long term solution at quarterback for the Stellers. Look,

537
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 5: I don't mind the Stillers talking about it. I don't

538
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 5: mind a special teams coach having enough creativity imagination to

539
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 5: think about to envision just fields being that. But remember

540
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 5: the same things were uttered about Lamar Jackson when he

541
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 5: came into the league and he eventually became a two

542
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 5: time MVP A lot of times with these athletic quarterbacks,

543
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 5: that is to talk particularly, and I'll say this like

544
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: because it's kind of like the elephant in the room,

545
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: Like black quarterbacks in the past had always been kind

546
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 5: of moved to different positions, you know, like whether it's

547
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: Freddie Solomon who came into the league as a wide

548
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 5: receiver and had to move around Marlon Briscoe who had

549
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 5: to go away from that. So that's why you get

550
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 5: like a little that bristling when people bring up Justin

551
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 5: fields going to quarterback, just because it's traditionally being like

552
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 5: you're so athletic, go play another spot, whereas it's never

553
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: really done in reverse.

554
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: But for Justin Fields, it might.

555
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 5: Be a good move down the line if he can't

556
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 5: make it at quarterback, to consider making a move to

557
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 5: another position, because we've seen others do it.

558
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: I'm blig you said that. I remember that, you know

559
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches would take a black athlete and

560
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: they say, well, I don't want it to be a quarterback.

561
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: He's a great athlete to be a receiver, defensive back.

562
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 4: It may be.

563
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: And that's that's football. I don't see that in other sports,

564
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 2: you know. I mean honestly, I honestly. In other words,

565
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: if I have a great black athlete in baseball, would

566
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: you put him a short stot. That's probably the most

567
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: valuable position. I would think, one of the most vialuable

568
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: positions pitcher, But pitture, you're only could have play twice

569
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: a week.

570
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: You know?

571
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: In basketball, will you not put a black athlete as

572
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: point guard because maybe they think he can't handle that?

573
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: I mean, why only in football? Why is it in football?

574
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: Bucky?

575
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 10: Oh?

576
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know.

577
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 5: I mean, look, look, and I'm saying it like I

578
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 5: brought that dynamic in the racial component or whatever.

579
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 4: I'm just giving some history and perspective on why some

580
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 4: guys are really really reluctant.

581
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: While Lamar Jackson was like, hold on, don't talk to me,

582
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 5: don't consider me a wide receiver, I think Joe Milton

583
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 5: also just grow to that suggestion about him being a

584
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 5: tidy end or whatever, only because it doesn't work in

585
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 5: reverse in other sports. Like I think it's different because

586
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 5: like baseball is a different thing. We are seeing mookie

587
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 5: bets who've moved from being in the outfield or to

588
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: going back to playing infield. A lot of times in baseball,

589
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 5: those guys that we're seeing in the majors, like they

590
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 5: all grew up probably playing shortstop, because shortstop.

591
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 4: Is where you put the best athlete or on the field.

592
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: In baseball, everything is about right up the middle, either short, second, centerfield,

593
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: pitch or catcher. Those are your best players and then

594
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 5: you move people away from that as you kind of

595
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 5: kind of the cream rises to the top or those things.

596
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 5: But you know football, as you need football, you are

597
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 5: looking to maximize the talent. And when you see guys

598
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 5: that are impressive high weight, speed athletes, yeah you want

599
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 5: to see can I put them in a different position

600
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 5: to maximize his talent, maximize this potential impact.

601
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: There you go, He's Bucket Brooks. I'm Andy Fermanwee Fox

602
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday, Wayne's on the line, Hold on way, We'll

603
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: get to you know problem there and of course coming

604
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: up next on Fox Life Fromthyrack dot com Studios, his

605
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: loss created a void. But first, first, our guy, Kevin Wyer,

606
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: We're late. We're sorry with all your sports. Oh, it's

607
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 2: all good.

608
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 11: We had plenty of playoff action on Saturday, one game

609
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 11: each in the NBA and NHL, the Timberwolves holding off

610
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 11: the Nuggets one oh six two ninety nine, largely because

611
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 11: of Anthony Edwards forty three points the Timberwolves superstar had

612
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 11: on Saturday. He had that on seventeen to twenty nine shooting,

613
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 11: including three to seven for beyond the three point arc,

614
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 11: so an outstanding performance by Edwards. Karl Anthony Towns had

615
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 11: twenty points. Nikola Jokic almost had another triple double in

616
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 11: the playoffs thirty two points, eight rebounds, nine assis, but

617
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 11: it was not enough, as Minnesota takes a one to

618
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 11: nothing lead in this best of seven series. In the

619
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 11: NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, Maple Leafs and Bruins Game seven

620
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 11: of that Eastern Conference first round series. It went to

621
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 11: overtime where David Posternark got the game winning goal to

622
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 11: win it two to one and give the Bruins a

623
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 11: four to three series victory. They advanced to the second round.

624
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 11: The Maple Leafs did get Austin Matthews back. He was

625
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 11: questionable and missed some time in this playoffs, but he

626
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 11: played well and had an assist three shots on goal.

627
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 11: Not enough for the Maple Leafs as Toronto is eliminated

628
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 11: Major League Baseball. We had several blowouts in the late

629
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 11: games on Saturday, Dodgers over the Braves eleven and two.

630
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 11: And interesting thing showy Otani hitting his eighth career home

631
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 11: run as a Dodger that breaks the record of home

632
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 11: runs hit by Dodger players born in Japan. Sent by

633
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 11: his manager Dave Roberts. So what did he do? He

634
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 11: bought him a Porsche. But no, not that, not that Porsch,

635
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 11: a toy car Porsche, So not quite as exciting for

636
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 11: Dave Roberts as Toyotani helped the Dodgers win in eleven

637
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 11: to two. Padres thirteen one winners over the Diamondbacks. Mariner

638
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 11: showut the Astros five nothing horse racing Kentucky Derby missed it.

639
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: Dan Buy a Nose literally by.

640
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 11: A nose, wins the Kentucky Derby the first of three

641
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 11: Triple Crown races. As we got the Preakness and the

642
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 11: Belmont coming up in the next few weeks.

643
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 12: Beck, you guys all.

644
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: Right, Kevin seen about it, about returning. We talk about returning.

645
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in this second. He's Bucky Brooks

646
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: and Andy Firman. We are Fox Sports southing on Fox

647

650
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: I'm hanging. I'm hanging that, Wayne, I'm hanging.

651
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 13: I love to hear it. Man. I love y'all dynamic. Andy,

652
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 13: You're such a fireball. And then Bucky sold chill and relax.

653
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 13: It's always a great things.

654
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: My guy.

655
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 3: Don't be picking up Bucky.

656
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: He's my guy.

657
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 13: Well he's the North Carolina guy.

658
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: I'll go to the wolf of Bucky brook No, I

659
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: gotta pick on him.

660
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 13: But Bucky questions. So I love the player at Vacky

661
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 13: that came out of Utah and the Lion's draft him

662
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 13: as a running back. But I'm curious, do you see

663
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 13: him using him sucre as a running back or could

664
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 13: he play both way? He was the first couple of years,

665
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 13: while he's still younger.

666
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, look, I think they're trying to maximize

667
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 5: this talent. Anytime you take someone in the fourth round

668
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: that's a developmental prospect, and what you want to do

669
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 5: is is maximize his abilities to give my chance to

670
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 5: make the team. Vaki spent most of his time as

671
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 5: an outside linebacker safety at Utah, played it last year

672
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 5: like the last half of the season at running back.

673
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 5: Flash had a big game against Colway Head over one

674
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty yards. I think the Detroit Lions want

675
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 5: to tap into some of the intrigue on a big,

676
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 5: physical back.

677
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 4: With low knowledge. Right.

678
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: We always talked about running backs wearing down because they

679
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 5: get so many carries from their time there in high

680
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 5: school and college. Well, he's someone who has limited experience

681
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 5: at a position, but he's shown big time potential. I

682
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 5: think what he does is he plays on special teams.

683
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 5: He is a three or four unit special teamer. He

684
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 5: gets some initial run at running back, and maybe they

685
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 5: kind of prepare him as a utility guy in this

686
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 5: secondary just in case, just in case there's a situation

687
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 5: like the patri used to do with Troy Brown and

688
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 5: Julian Edelman, maybe he becomes that kind of player for them.

689
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: All right, Wayne, he answered your question. I'm sure that right.

690
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: Have a great day, Wayne, thanks for listening. Okay, Now

691
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: we talked about returning. Justin Feels is mentioned by the

692
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: special teams coordinator of the Deer as a return man.

693
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: Speaking of returning, what is Ezekiel Elliott? He returns back

694
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: to the Dallas Cowboys. Now, look, the Cowboys passed on

695
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: a running back. They're looking for offensive line help. I'm

696
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: sure that's why I did that. But they did pass

697
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: on a running back in the draft. So why is

698
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott? I know, we led the Patriots in rushing

699
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: last year with six forty two fifty one receptions. He

700
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: has not had one hundred yard rushing game since twenty

701
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: twenty one, and I think he probably still thinks he's

702
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: a Starughter, When is enough? I mean, when do you

703
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 2: think it's like time to hang it up? I get it,

704
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: you don't want to hang it up because it's pretty

705
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: good money out there. But you know, is there any

706
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: gas left in his tank? And why would the Cowboys

707
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: accept them the one to come back?

708
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: I never understood that move.

709
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 5: I think they realized what they missed when he walked out.

710
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 5: Everyone was so excited about Tony poll. You know, remember

711
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 5: the buzz was he Tony Polys gonna take over.

712
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: They need to give him more carries.

713
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 5: He's explosive as a number two option, but there's a

714
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 5: difference in being the number two guy and to be

715
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 5: the number one guy. Zeke was a guy that ran

716
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 5: with power and physicality. He gave this offense a little

717
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 5: bit of that identity, that.

718
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 4: Tough record persona.

719
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 5: They missed that last year, and when you look at

720
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: what they currently had before Zeke signed, they didn't have that.

721
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 5: They didn't have a legitimate back that was a starting

722
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 5: caliber back, someone that you would worry about. Zeke gives

723
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 5: them a steady eddy presence in the backfield. He's no

724
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 5: longer what he once was in his prime, but he's

725
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: good enough and he's also smart sound in pass protection

726
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 5: to allow Dak Prescott to stay upright in the pocket.

727
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 5: That is an underrated skill of Zeke Eliott his past

728
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 5: block and ability.

729
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: So now I know, now I know. By the way,

730
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: Steven Kansas City wants to chime in on this justin

731
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: Fields conversation. Steve, you're all with Bucky Brooks on Fox.

732
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: What's ready? How you doing?

733
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, great great conversation this morning.

734
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 9: You know, I mean I just don't.

735
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 10: I really don't go with this notion that it's a

736
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 10: demotion to play a skill position. I mean, the Kansas

737
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 10: City Chiefs won all those super back in the day

738
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 10: because they recruited the black athletes that no one would

739
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 10: recruit at the historically black colleges. And you know, everyone

740
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 10: knew Cordell was a great quarterback that deserve to be

741
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 10: in the NFL. It's all about It's all about ability

742
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 10: and talent. With Mahomes, I don't think Justin Field should

743
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 10: think of this as a as a demotion. It's just

744
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 10: that there's only there's only.

745
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 9: Twenty five or thirty men in the world that have that.

746
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 10: Can do this.

747
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 9: And if you know, I'm not sure even sure Dak

748
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 9: is all that good the truth, that's nothing against that,

749
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 9: but it's such a rarefied air that you know, you

750
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 9: look at college and you think, well, everybody can do this, Well, no,

751
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 9: you can't do it. The reason these guys are paid

752
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 9: fifty sixty million dollars a year is is precisely because

753
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 9: it's hard to win world championships. It's not easy. That's

754
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 9: why it's Chiefs and I remember the Royals you're talking

755
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 9: about you're.

756
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 10: Talking about baseball. The Royals took all the guys were

757
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 10: winning World series that no one else would take. Right

758
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 10: up the middle. We had Amasotis, U L. Washington, Frank

759
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 10: White at every single position. We had the black athletes

760
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 10: that no one else wanted to take.

761
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 9: Well, we'll take him. Woman championship is so big deal,

762
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 9: you know. I guess we are a typical because we

763
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 9: just want to win. I don't care. I don't care

764
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 9: if he's green, but you know, black white. You know,

765
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 9: the only color I look at is ability and equality

766
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 9: and green. So I mean, I know there's always this

767
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 9: stigma that the black athlete, it's a demotion to go

768
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 9: to wide receiver or slotback or or reputt return the man.

769
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 9: You know, it's tough. It's tough to Patrick Mahomes.

770
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 2: I hear you.

771
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 3: All right, Steve, thank you, have a great day.

772
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 2: We move on. I mean, we'll get into that conversation

773
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: little Diba. But right now he's Bucky Brooks and Andy Furman,

774
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: and you call him the answer man.

775
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: We call him Bucky. Why ass Bucky is next?

776
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio?

777
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: All right?

778
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: Ask Bucky coming right up?

779
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Buster Ready, He's

780
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, I'm Andy Furman, and we will live from

781
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: the Ti rock dot Com studio is Bucky Books. Are

782
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: you ready?

783
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: Here we go as Bums do it all right?

784
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: Not only are the NBA playoffs too long, but I

785
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: got to believe too many teams are invited.

786
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 5: You have thoughts on that, Yeah, but I think everyone

787
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 5: is doing that because the one thing every league wants

788
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 5: is to sell hope. So the play in tournament has

789
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 5: been good because people are excited about the way people

790
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 5: are finishing off the regular season. You like the intrigue

791
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 5: and kind of the single elimination feel of the player

792
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 5: tournament before the postseason.

793
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are a lot of teams that are there.

794
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 5: You talk about twenty teams being involved in the playoffs,

795
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, I think the

796
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 5: competition has been good when you watch it, all right.

797
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: I hear you. Okay, you're a football man. Tell me

798
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 2: when and if the UFL will gain some traction.

799
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if it ever gained the kind of

800
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 5: attraction that everyone is looking for. It's an interesting league

801
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 5: because it gives players an opportunity to continue to play.

802
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 4: But you have to have a invested interest to watch.

803
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 5: I don't know if there are enough notable names that

804
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 5: will make people want to watch.

805
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: But it's a good league.

806
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 5: I would like to see a tie in where it

807
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 5: could be a developmental league more so than a league

808
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 5: that stands alone.

809
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 3: Quick question, are you watching games in the UFL?

810
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I've seen bits and pieces of games, but

811
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 5: I haven't. I can't see it and say that I've studied.

812
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 5: I know Birmingham clinched the playoffs. The Birmingham Stallions did

813
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 5: it back to back USFL champs, so maybe they have

814
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 5: a chance to go back to back to back with

815
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 5: the UFL being the third championship.

816
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: Okay, And just to add a little bit, a little

817
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: spice to that question, the talent level, I mean, is

818
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: it good, bad, and different? I mean you could tell

819
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: that it's not on part with the NFL. Tell me

820
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 2: about the talent level a little bit.

821
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I think it's fine, you know, I

822
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 5: mean I think it's it's solid, just a notch below

823
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: what the NFL would be. The quarterback players would always

824
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 5: distinguishes these leagues, and the quarterbacks are just not I

825
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 5: would say NFL quarterbacks and there's nothing wrong with that.

826
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 4: It's just hard. It's hard to find.

827
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 5: Thirty two quarterbacks that can get it done in the league,

828
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 5: and so when you don't, when you step outside of that,

829
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 5: it just changes.

830
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: All right. Next question, you know how popular football is,

831
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 2: be a college football or the NFL. So the question

832
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: is to Bucky Brooks, should the NCAA make soccer a

833
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 2: spring sport so as not to compete with football?

834
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, man.

835
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 5: I mean, look, football is cheme no matter when you

836
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 5: do it. If you want odds on your sport, yeah

837
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 5: you need to move it away from the football window.

838
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 5: But football is increasingly becoming a year round sport. You

839
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 5: think about the draft and how the draft ratings out

840
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 5: did the NBA basketball playoffs. It's just one of those

841
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 5: things where it's unavoidable.

842
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: You just got to figure out where that sweet spot

843
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 4: can be for your sport to exist.

844
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 5: But whenever there's football on, whether it's real football or

845
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: just the imaginary playplay type like the draft, it's always

846
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 5: going to draw a number.

847
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 3: All right, here's a toughie. Speaking of college football.

848
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you how, why and when did

849
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: college football explode like it has because I remember back

850
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: in the day. They didn't even play for a championship.

851
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: The championship team was named by the Associated Press. When

852
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: did it take off and go crazy?

853
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: Repeat what everyone talks.

854
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: About speaking of college football? How, why and when did

855
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 2: college football explode like it has?

856
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 5: Well, it's the local flavor, right, So you think about

857
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 5: for the longest time in the South, there weren't NFL teams,

858
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: you know, like there's a corridor where you think about

859
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 5: like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia. They were late to get teams.

860
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 5: I mean the Falcons Florida didn't have teams for a while,

861
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 5: so they were able to really put roots when it

862
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 5: comes to like establishing the patantry of college football, and

863
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 5: it became a religion down there.

864
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 4: That's where it really exploded.

865
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 5: And then as TV put more games on, the American

866
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 5: public fell in love with the game.

867
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: Great answer, I mean I never had thought about that.

868
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: Really, last, but not least, the toughest drill that you

869
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: experienced when you played football.

870
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: To drill.

871
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 5: They don't do it much now, but they call it

872
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: Oklahoma drill. Where guys a line that may have a

873
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 5: block in front of you, you have to shed off

874
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 5: the blocker and then take on the ball carreer one

875
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 5: on one. It's a toughness drill. It's not a real

876
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 5: functional drill, but that was one of the ones that

877
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 5: you certainly didn't enjoy.

878
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 3: Why don't they do that anymore?

879
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think it's too dangerous. I don't look.

880
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 5: I don't think the juice is worth to squeeze when

881
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 5: it comes to it, And with injury possibility and the

882
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 5: limited amount of the pad days that you have, I

883
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 5: don't think people are interested in going back old school

884
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 5: like that.

885
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 4: There we go.

886
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: Bucket Brooks has his five to five right here. How

887
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,760

Speaker 2: All right, some big hole still remain. We'll get to

Speaker 2: Tier rack dot com. The way tire buying should be.

897
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, it's amazing right now. We're in the fifth

898
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 2: of May. By the way, it's my oldest son birthday.

899
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: Today's Happy birthday, Jake. But we're in the fifth of

900
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: May and we're still talking football and the National Football League.

901
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. I mean, they don't stop. I mean they

902
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: haven't planned out perfectly. They got the combine, they got

903
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 2: the draft. I believe this Thursday they have the schedule release,

904
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: and that's like a big ratings bonanza. Although people know

905
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: what teams are, their favorite team is going to play

906
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: within the division, but they don't know outside of the

907
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: division and when and where in the time. It's an

908
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 2: amazing thing what this league has done. Marketing geniuses, they

909
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: really are. Well maybe they're not. Maybe this the sport

910
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: is so popular people just to us for the information.

911
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: I can't figure out what is why if you put

912
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: those marketing geniuses or so called geniuses in Major League

913
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: Baseball of the NBA, I don't think they have the

914
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 2: same success.

915
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 5: Probably not. They won't have the same success. But it's

916
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 5: the sport, man. The sport just drives to popularity in

917
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 5: terms of people can't get enough of it.

918
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 4: That's why you can have a schedule.

919
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 5: Release where people can look at when their favorite teams

920
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 5: are playing and who they're playing, and then you can

921
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 5: bring up these, hey, let's predictive records and all that

922
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 5: other stuff. It just tells you how strong the league's

923
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 5: pulled on the American public.

924
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: Is I think part of the success, and we've gone

925
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: down this road before the National Football League. I've always

926
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: believed less is more. So when you play once a week,

927
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: you build up the crescendo for that big game on

928
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: Sunday night or Sat. Sunday afternoon or Monday night. So

929
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: I think that's a big deal. Now Thursday night as well.

930
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: So less is more. So I think if you're going

931
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: to squeeze it to eighteen games, I mean that's almost

932
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: a limit. I gotta believe that. Don't kind of push

933
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 2: it any further than that. You know, with baseball, it's like, well,

934
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: if I miss a game today in April or May,

935
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: I could see the same team come back to my

936
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: hometown in August. And the National Football League, obviously, with

937
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 2: wagering and fantasy football, really I think was a big

938
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 2: plus because people who didn't know the game at least

939
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: do the players. So I mean, these are all the

940
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: factors that I think made that game grow. So, you know,

941
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: we talk about that, but there's still moves right now

942
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: that I question, and that's why I'm so happy you're here,

943
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: because I want to see what's going on. And one

944
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: of those moves was the Stefan Diggs trade to the

945
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: Houston Texans by the Buffalo Bills.

946
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 3: Number one. How big of a void did that leave

947
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 3: in Buffalo?

948
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, he was a tremendous player, still as

949
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: a tremendous player, and I've heard some rumblings that there

950
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: was some real, real problems with him and the quarterback

951
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: in Buffalo. Have you heard that or maybe not?

952
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

953
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 4: No, I mean people have talked about it.

954
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 5: Tim Graham, a reporter who has his you know, boosts

955
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 5: on the ground up in Buffalo, had put on his

956
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 5: podcast about some of the issues that dated back to

957
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 5: the beginning of the year, the beginning of the regular

958
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 5: season where Stephan Diggs and Josh Allen kind of I

959
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 5: don't see he got into it, but they had some

960
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 5: words and it never was the same after that.

961
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 4: I will say this, this would be the biggest challenge

962
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 4: for Josh Allen.

963
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 5: Josh Allen his game in terms of his rapid improvement

964
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 5: is tied directly to Stefan Diggs's arrival.

965
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 4: He struggled prior to Stephan Diggs arriving.

966
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 5: Stefon Digg comes in, he kind of smoothed out some

967
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 5: of the raft patches in his game, even though some

968
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 5: of those warts reappear from time to time in terms

969
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 5: of with the turnovers and the accuracy walls. Stephan Diggs,

970
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 5: as a veteran playmaker, big time receiver, was able to

971
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 5: kind of minimize some of those things.

972
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bills.

973
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 5: Now feel like josh Allen is ready to follow in

974
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 5: the footsteps of Patrick Mahomes where he elevates to playmakers

975
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 5: around him. The challenge that you have is, are we

976
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 5: confident that as a passer, Josh Allen is that consistent

977
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 5: to be able to elevate those around him.

978
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 4: And when you remove a number one.

979
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 5: Receiver like Diggs, the coverage around the offense changes. Instead

980
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 5: of getting maybe some soft cover two where they're trying

981
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 5: to roll to number fourteen side and Stefan Diggs now

982
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 5: they're willing to play more man demand and you're trying

983
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 5: to offset that by being two tight ends. Because they've

984
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 5: talked about Dawson Knox and Dalton Kent been on the

985
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 5: field a lot. But if you can't win on the outside,

986
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 5: it's gonna be nine man boxes and it's gonna be really,

987
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 5: really hard to find room in there. So a lot

988
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 5: of it falls on Josh Allen being able to throw

989
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 5: precisely to have these playmakers, these unheralded playmakers that they're

990
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 5: counting on to play at a higher level.

991
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: All right, it's quite interesting. So Stefan Dix's gone. So

992
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: what do the Buffalo Bills do. They signed Chase Chase

993
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: Claypool just the other day, six four, two thirty eight.

994
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 2: He's got a one year deal. And this guy clay

995
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: they young twenty five. That's okay, but he's been with

996
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: three teams over the last two years. With the Dolphins

997
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: after being with the Bears, the Bears traded him back

998
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: in October early in twenty twenty three. I think it

999
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: was Claypool was really frustrated with how he was being

1000
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 2: used in the Bears offense. So that's call it the

1001
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: way it is, the lack of Bears offense at that time.

1002
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: So does he help, I don't know. But they also

1003
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: drafted Keyon Coleman, drafted thirty third overall out of Florida State.

1004
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 2: So Coleman is a pretty was a decent college football player.

1005
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 2: But what's going to happen now in the receiving corps

1006
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 2: with the Buffalo Bills and Gabe Davis left in free

1007
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 2: agency too.

1008
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, Kean Goleman was handpicked by Josh Allen, the

1009
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 5: Bills on record Santa. Josh Allen really went hard for him.

1010
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 5: He's a big, physical, acrobatic play making wide receiver who

1011
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 5: flashed a ton during the time at Florida State. The

1012
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 5: thing that I will say with Claypool is Claypool is

1013
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 5: a very talented athlete. He hasn't put it together on

1014
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 5: the field. He also has been immature in his dealings

1015
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 5: on and off the field in the past. Maybe he's

1016
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 5: grown and mature beyond that, and he's ready to be

1017
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 5: a guy who cars out a big role for himself

1018
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 5: as a pro.

1019
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 4: We'll get a chance to see that.

1020
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 5: But he hasn't dazzled to the degree that many of

1021
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 5: us thought that he would dazzle when we watched him

1022
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 5: coming out of Notre Dame.

1023
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: YEA his rookie year. He had eleven touchdowns, but other

1024
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,959
Speaker 2: than that, he hasn't done much. So now another move

1025
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: that kind of scratches your head a little bit. The

1026
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: Dolphins signed wide receive Adell Beckham junior one year deal

1027
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: thirty one. All right, often injured you know his client

1028
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 2: to Fami, I guess he's one with the giants and

1029
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 2: that's basically and after that's injury injury, and look what's

1030
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: left or is there anything left? I look at him

1031
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 2: and I look at Ezekiel Lellie, and I say, hey, guys,

1032
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: you know, look in the mirror. I mean it's time

1033
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 2: to move on, get on with your life's work. I mean,

1034
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 2: is there anything left in the tank? But again, how

1035
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 2: do you turned down a check like that when you

1036
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: know you off it to you?

1037
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 3: You just can't do it right.

1038
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 5: No, you can't be taking the checks. You keep taking

1039
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 5: the checks because once you're at the league, the checks

1040
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 5: don't come like that, and you find how hard it

1041
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 5: is to make that kind of money.

1042
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 4: But a lot of it, like in every.

1043
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 5: Player has to have this meeting with themselves where you

1044
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: have to, you know, to hey, let me.

1045
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 4: Have a full inventory check.

1046
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 5: Who am I? What am I? How am I going

1047
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 5: to make it? How can I extend my career. What

1048
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 5: things can I do to enhance my opportunities?

1049
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 4: And you have.

1050
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 5: To dig down deepen that and look at yourself and

1051
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 5: be honest from a self assessment, to give yourself a

1052
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 5: chance to really cast the coaches to kind of look,

1053
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 5: I guess, earn the trust of the coaches, so they'll

1054
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 5: put you in games and allow you to do your thing.

1055
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so Betman's getting a one year deal worth three million,

1056
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: but the incentives on that could push it up to

1057
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: eight point two five million.

1058
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 3: But here's the deal. A number one.

1059
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 2: He's on a team that has Tyreek Hill and Jayden

1060
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: wand so what does he fit in number one? And

1061
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: they also drifted Eligue Washington, so they got some of

1062
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 2: the receivers. He's going to be at least at best

1063
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 2: a third receiver for that Miami Dolphins team. He had

1064
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: the positive fine thing would be you look at the

1065
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 2: mad professor. I call him a mad professor, Mike McDaniel,

1066
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: the coach of the Dolphins. He might be able to

1067
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: make it work. Of all the coaches in the National

1068
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: Football League, you got to give him a bit of

1069
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: a star. I think he's pretty creative. He might be

1070
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: able to make it with Odell Beckham.

1071
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 4: Well, this is perfect for Odell Beckham Junior.

1072
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 5: Now the money is looks significantly less than what he

1073
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 5: made last year, but I think he had to know.

1074
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 5: Last year he got over on the Baltimore Ravens made

1075
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 5: eighteen million dollars for a time there. He now is

1076
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 5: on a deal that starts at three million but can

1077
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 5: escalate to maybe eight million. The thing about it from

1078
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 5: a playing standpoint maybe ideal for him. He's surrounded by speed,

1079
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 5: Jayleen Waddell, tyreek Hill. Those are the top two receivers

1080
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 5: that everyone is going to take, and the conversation now

1081
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 5: becomes Obj versus the opponent's number three cornerback. Do you

1082
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 5: take obij or do you take the third corner? In

1083
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 5: most instances, OBJ is gonna be the nod. He's gonna

1084
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 5: get the nod. You put him in a slot, you

1085
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 5: let him go to work and do those things. He's

1086
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 5: still cable. When people go back and look at the tape,

1087
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 5: there's a lot of good stuff that Obj did for

1088
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 5: the Baltimore Ravens. When you look at the tape, he

1089
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 5: played relatively well. So there is a lane for him

1090
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 5: to carve out a path that he can carve out

1091
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 5: to help him kind of reignite some of the conversation

1092
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 5: about his game.

1093
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 3: Is Mike McDaniel.

1094
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, he's the guy that could make it

1095
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 2: work because I think he's a pretty creative coach.

1096
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously he's creative.

1097
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 5: His creativity is not only in the ring game, but

1098
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 5: in the past game. Different animal. But I'm sure he's

1099
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 5: been around town with players. Can he find a way

1100
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 5: to get talented players more opportunities on a perimeter.

1101
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 4: That'll be the off season project.

1102
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 5: That's what he will kind of experiment with over the

1103
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 5: course of May and June, and OTA's to kind of

1104
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 5: see how can I unlock Obj's potential.

1105
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: There you go. I want to touch on this because

1106
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 2: I really enjoy reading you every Friday NFL dot Com.

1107
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks player coach, Scout, just a Football Maven and

1108
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: on Fridays on NFL dot Com, just scroll down, look

1109
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 2: at the writers, just see his beautiful mug, and he

1110
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: writes a column every week and this week he had

1111
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: his Fab five, the Fab five I guess draft picks

1112
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 2: in the recent NFL draft, and you had basically talking

1113
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 2: about the Pittsburgh Steelers had them number one and one

1114
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 2: of the guys that you really were pretty much high

1115
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 2: on was the wide receiver from Michigan in round three,

1116
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 2: Roman Wilson. Why is that.

1117
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 5: Talented playmaker man, really good route runner, he's tough, he

1118
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 5: fits the brand.

1119
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 4: You go back and you look at to steal his history.

1120
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 5: They've had a lot of success finding wide receivers in

1121
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 5: the second, third, and fourth rounds. Roman Wilson falls into

1122
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 5: that as a third round pick. Play four game had

1123
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 5: that demanded toughness and physicality and Jim Harbaugh, Uh, he

1124
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 5: just gets it. And with George Pickens kind of dominating

1125
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 5: on the outside, I think with Russell Wilson and justin Fields,

1126
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 5: it's a lot easier for them to find the passes

1127
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 5: over the middle because.

1128
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 4: They're quicker, Quickerrhythan throws.

1129
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 5: They're right in front of the defense. You don't have

1130
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 5: to really stretch it out. Because of that, Roman Wilson

1131
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 5: could eat and eat a lot.

1132
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: Wow.

1133
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: So you have the Pittsburgh Steelers being uh, I guess

1134
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 2: number one as far as your Fab five draft this year,

1135
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 2: they were the number one team with the draft picks.

1136
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: You like them the best?

1137
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 5: Well, I mean just in terms of my favorite I

1138
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 5: love what they did doesn't mean that.

1139
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 4: They had the best draft class. But I just love

1140
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 4: what they did. I love.

1141
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I just think they they really did

1142
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 5: a really good job of attacking some of their knees

1143
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 5: while getting really really good players and not devi deviating

1144
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 5: too far outside of their brand. All three linemen are

1145
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 5: tough scraes wide receiver that he took in the third

1146
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 5: is we just talked about in Roman Wilson and then

1147
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 5: you go Peyton Wilson in the third round. Maybe the

1148
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 5: best linebacker I thought was the best linebacker in the

1149
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 5: draft that they found in the third round due to

1150
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 5: some medical issues.

1151
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a really good.

1152
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 5: Draft for them. This shit helped him get right back

1153
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 5: on top. Closed gap on the competition.

1154
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: Rightan they got some competition with the quarterback situation too,

1155
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 2: so it's going to help them too. They needed a

1156
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: quarterback and they'll have one now. They'll definitely have one,

1157
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. So we'll see what.

1158
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 5: Happened to yeah, I mean, yeah, no, So it's all

1159
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 5: coming together for the Steelers.

1160
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: They got a number two where you put there the

1161
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles, and I'm looking around three and this kind

1162
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: of I scratched my head. Is Jalox Hunt a linebacker

1163
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: from Houston Christian University. I never heard of the school.

1164
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that had a football team. How

1165
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 2: do you find a guy like this and what's he

1166
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 2: all about? Jalx Hunt?

1167
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1168
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we start buzzing on Jaealax Hunt. This

1169
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 5: is a guy that's really athletic, really dynamic. There's a

1170
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 5: lot of interest in him. The Eagles wanted him, really

1171
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 5: about Howie Roseman's on record talking about how he wanted, uh,

1172
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 5: Daniel Jeremi to kind of pulled off best available, So

1173
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 5: they grab him. They give him a second level defender

1174
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 5: and athletic defender that can run and chase. The speed

1175
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 5: of your defense is determined about how fast your linebackers are.

1176
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 5: And now they have some fast linebackers that are active,

1177
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 5: they'll be able to make some plays on special teams

1178
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 5: if needed.

1179
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 4: Uh, he was a really intriguing and prospect.

1180
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: You know, I'll ask you this how Howard Roseman gets

1181
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 2: a lot of credit, a lot of kudos, and he

1182
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 2: should because he's built a pretty good power in Philadelphia

1183
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 2: with the Eagles. You got a history Houston Christian University

1184
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 2: how do you find that? Does does this kid have

1185
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: an agent? Does the agent sent out tape? Is that

1186
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 2: how they find out about him? Or the scouts are

1187
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 2: that good and they just comb the area? How do

1188
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,720
Speaker 2: you find the kid at Houston Christian?

1189
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 14: Uh?

1190
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 5: You find a kid because your area scout is responsible

1191
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 5: for knowing everybody within that area. So whoever is doing

1192
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 5: UH Texas needs to know about Hey what an names

1193
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 5: that are buzzing and popping up.

1194
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 4: His name will pop up.

1195
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 5: Okay, I need to go make sure I make a

1196
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 5: school visit this fall to see him. You go, and

1197
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 5: you see him, and then you kind of make recommendations

1198
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 5: based off of that. Does he go to All Star Games?

1199
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 5: Does he get an invite to the combine? You begin

1200
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 5: to kind of track him, but you're not, you know,

1201
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 5: overly exuberant or anything. You're just trying to be locked in,

1202
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 5: focused on your area and make sure that you have

1203
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 5: everybody covered. That's how you find a guy.

1204
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 2: Like Jaya sunt Okay, and I'll go one stuff further.

1205
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 2: So you go down to Houston Christian. You watch the

1206
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 2: kid play and he's dominating in that game, and then

1207
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: you say to yourself, hey, he's a pretty good player.

1208
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 2: Then you scratch your head, you sit to yourself. Can

1209
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: this kid play at the next level? Could he play

1210
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 2: in the National Football League? And I say, I'll make

1211
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 2: a comparison. I live in northern Kentucky and I watched

1212
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: Seawn Alexander play in high school, the Boom County High

1213
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: School in Kentucky, and he was great. I mean he

1214
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: would he'd go seven, eight, nine, twelve touchdowns a game

1215
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 2: and people were just drooling over him. And it was

1216
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 2: either between Notre Damon Alabama went to Alabama, and you know,

1217
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 2: you knew he was a great player, but did you

1218
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 2: know he'd be that good? He was dominant in the NFL.

1219
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 2: He really was just a good guy, just a great kid.

1220
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 2: He really was. But how do you tell at the

1221
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 2: high school level this kid's going to make it at

1222
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: the next level that you have to have a good

1223
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 2: keen eye or know the game tremendously.

1224
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, but high school was too early to kind of speculate.

1225
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 5: You can get some tidbits. So going all the way back,

1226
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 5: we had the conversation about Justin Fields, where I was

1227
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 5: around Justin Fields when he was in high school. I

1228
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 5: was around Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence and watching the

1229
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 5: two of them come up, when both of those guys

1230
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 5: were rate number one and number two respectively as recruits

1231
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 5: in the country, you can see the foundation. But things

1232
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 5: change when guys get to college. Do they continue to

1233
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 5: work like they did? What happens when the talent levels

1234
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 5: out and they're not the supremely talented guy who has

1235
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 5: every advantage over the competition. Do they have enough tactics

1236
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 5: and strategy to the game where they can survive all

1237
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 5: those things you can begin to feel in high school,

1238
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 5: and then you just kind of keep cross referencing what

1239
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 5: you them in high school with what you hear from

1240
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 5: Bundy mccollege and even the first I mean, it's just

1241
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 5: sup porative to deal.

1255
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,720

1267
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 2: a wee get up the end. Now I want to

1268
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 2: continue here a little bit with this Bucket Brooks Fab five.

1269
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 14: We're up.

1270
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 2: I think the third team right now, the Arizona Cardinals

1271
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: are No Brandon with Marvin Harrison is their first bit.

1272
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: But round two Rutgers Football. Are you kidding? Max Melton?

1273
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 2: A cornerback out of Rutgers? Why Max Melton? What's so

1274
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,439
Speaker 2: good about this guy?

1275
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 5: Really athletic cornerback who has all the traits and tools

1276
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 5: that you look for. Feisty, super competitive, gets after it,

1277
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 5: can play inside or outside, meaning he can play the

1278
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 5: nickel position if needed.

1279
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 4: Just a really really good player.

1280
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 5: And he showed up at the Senior Bowl and he

1281
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 5: was competitive, challenged, everyone didn't.

1282
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 4: Lose many reps.

1283
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 5: And you just think his game just translates really well

1284
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 5: to the next lobe.

1285
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, Let's go to the La Ram They

1286
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 2: got a big, big hole to Phil and Aaron Donald

1287
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: being gone.

1288
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 3: Did they do it in the draft? And if so?

1289
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: How?

1290
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 4: I mean?

1291
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 5: Look, this is one that is interesting because the La

1292
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 5: Rams have done a really good job drafting outside the

1293
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 5: first round.

1294
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 4: The last couple of years.

1295
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 5: They hadn't had to pick since I think twenty sixteen

1296
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen when Jared Goff came in, Jerry Verus and

1297
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 5: Brenton and Braden Fist comes off the board to Florida

1298
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 5: State teammates versus the outside edge defender, powerful game, kind

1299
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 5: of bulling the China shop off the edge, and Fisk

1300
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 5: is a guy that also brings that same motor and

1301
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 5: energy and tough got temperament while also displaying a little

1302
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 5: more athleticism than some would expect from a big, physical

1303
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 5: defensive tackle. You just look at what they've been able

1304
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 5: to do this year with what they did last year. Coke,

1305
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 5: you know Kobe Young, I mean just being able to

1306
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 5: add to Byron Young, Kobe Turn being able to add

1307
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 5: to that. This team is ready to go. And you

1308
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 5: can't feel when Aaron Donald Look used to give you

1309
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 5: on a weekly basis, but you certainly can by committee

1310
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 5: offset some of that production that walked out the door

1311
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 5: when ninety nine retired.

1312
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, so do you like you like what

1313
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: the Rams have done? There we go, Let's touch on

1314
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. Okay, a no brainer. Obviously they needed

1315
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 2: a quarterback, and you say that Jayden Daniels gives the

1316
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Commanders the quarterback one they've been looking for since Kirk

1317
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 2: Cousins left after the twenty seventeen seasons. You're putting a

1318
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 2: lot of faith and confidence in Jaden Daniels, You really are,

1319
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: You feel good about that. Jayden Daillans out of LSU.

1320
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel good about what the Commanders decided to

1321
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 5: do in sports and as a scout, like one of

1322
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 5: the things that we used to always talk about, if

1323
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 5: you want to turn around a program, you want to

1324
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 5: take guys from winning programs. Many day won in high school,

1325
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 5: they won in college. You want to take guys who

1326
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 5: are comfortable in leadership roles, meaning they were team aptains,

1327
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 5: voted on by their teammates because they were respected not

1328
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 5: only for their talent but for their work ethic. And

1329
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 5: then they have to have a level of maturity experience.

1330
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 5: Are they four year players, did they get the degree, etc.

1331
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 4: Etc.

1332
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 5: When when you look at the Commander's draft class, seven

1333
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 5: of the nine we're team captains. All of the guys

1334
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 5: come from winning programs. They've won, they know what it

1335
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 5: takes to sacrifice to be a winner. And then they're

1336
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 5: all mature guys who have a four year more experience

1337
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 5: at the collegiate level. Those things, to me make them

1338
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 5: easier to reject because you've seen enough of them. So

1339
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 5: I applaud them for taking this approach when it came

1340
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 5: to selecting their players.

1341
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 2: All Right, two players around two guy, the Gershone Newton,

1342
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 2: a defensive tackle from Illinois. You say he's going to

1343
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 2: be a possible starter, But what about the linebacker in

1344
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 2: round five, Jordan McGee from Temple. I mean, really, what's

1345
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 2: the deal with that?

1346
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, like with anything, when you talk about

1347
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 5: guys like fifth round picks, I mean this developmental player

1348
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 5: that's your whole when can carve out a role as

1349
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 5: a special teamer. The teams, the best teams are comprised

1350
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 5: of guys that were drafted in the first three rounds.

1351
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 5: The first three rounds are where you make your money

1352
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 5: in the draft. If you hit on someone on day three,

1353
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 5: four through seven, it's either a hidden gym that where

1354
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 5: injury just kind of kept him o the mix, or

1355
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 5: is pure luck because if you think so highly about

1356
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 5: guys where they emerged from the sixth and seventh round,

1357
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 5: you draft him earlier. The first three rounds are where

1358
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 5: you get your stars. So this guy has to come in,

1359
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 5: he has to make contributions on special teams. He has

1360
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 5: to find a way to create an opportunity for him

1361
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 5: to get a jersey each week so he can have

1362
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 5: a role, and then as he plays, he'll get more

1363
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 5: opportunities and if he cash those in, that's when he'll

1364
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 5: move up to depth chart.

1365
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 3: Huh. All right, last, but not least.

1366
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 2: And we say this for the last one because I

1367
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of meat on the bone over here.

1368
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 2: You talk about the Dallas Cowboys with Jerry Jones, and

1369
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: you say that Jerry Jones said that the Cowboys were

1370
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 2: all in on chasing a Super Bowl. This is like

1371
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 2: a burning design. He probably stays up at night, he

1372
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 2: probably can't sleep, And I don't blame him. I mean

1373
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 2: he's a competitor. He played the game, he owns the team,

1374
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 2: and he wants to see the Dallas Cowboys quote America's

1375
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 2: team back in the Super Bowl. All right, but they

1376
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: didn't do much to help themselves in free agency.

1377
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 4: Why.

1378
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. However, they need to protect Dak Prescott.

1379
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 2: I mean, they put a lot of confidence in Prescott

1380
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 2: and he's still there. He's that quarterback. So what do

1381
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 2: they do. They got a lot of offensive lineman, I

1382
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 2: guess to protect the guy. What about that draft right now?

1383
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 2: I mean they didn't get a running back. They got

1384
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott back. They didn't get a wide receiver to

1385
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: compliment their number one guy. So what's the deal now

1386
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 2: with the Dallas Cowboys.

1387
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting watching the Cowboys go to work.

1388
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 5: Jerry Jones kind of said the expectation that they were

1389
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,439
Speaker 5: going to be all over the place, spending money, moving

1390
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 5: up and down the board trade and trying to get

1391
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 5: there designated blue chippers, and they've been completely opposite of that.

1392
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 4: No major moves, very.

1393
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 5: Conservative approach on the draft day, didn't add any real

1394
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 5: offensive weapons until later. I mean, I know Harborough says

1395
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 5: you can categorize office a lineman his weapons, but they

1396
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 5: didn't get any any sexy picks to kind of raise expectations.

1397
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 4: There.

1398
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 5: So I'm looking at this and I'm thinking about, Okay,

1399
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott's finding year of his deal, Mike McCarthy finding

1400
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 5: year of his deal.

1401
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 4: Dan Quinn and Joe are gone.

1402
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 5: It looked I feel like the Cowboys are in rebuilding

1403
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 5: mode without telling us. And I can't envision a place

1404
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 5: where they where they're gonna pay Dak Prescott because they've

1405
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 5: taken away key weapons for him while he's angling for

1406
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 5: a big payday. Most of the time, those things never

1407
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 5: work out the way that you expect.

1408
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 2: Tell me about their number two pick round two, Marshawn

1409
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 2: Keenland a defensive end, all right, I understand the need

1410
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 2: for that, but out of Western Michigan, was he the

1411
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 2: best defensive end at that time to draft?

1412
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:51,919
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1413
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 5: I mean he's a good player, I mean really good

1414
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 5: player off the edge. And the Cowboys have always kind

1415
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 5: of kind of march to be of their own drum

1416
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 5: when it comes to who they select.

1417
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 4: I will say this.

1418
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:07,919
Speaker 5: Hardworking player, athletic player, productive player, should be really really

1419
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 5: good opposite tank and then it's a matter of him

1420
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 5: showing up. But he has a lot of intriguing trades. Man,

1421
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 5: He's one of the guys that caught fire. He has

1422
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 5: the ability to quickly outplay his draft status, and I

1423
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 5: think that says a lot based on where you were selected.

1424
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 2: I feel bad for Dak right now because look, as

1425
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 2: you mentioned in your story which is on NFL dot Com,

1426
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 2: that they have a retread in the backfield of Ezekiel

1427
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 2: Elliot Columbill retrade, which he is okay because they need

1428
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 2: some serious contributions from him. And also, as far as

1429
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 2: the wide receiver is concerned, Round six, Ryan Flornoy, wide

1430
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 2: receiver out of the Southeast Missouri State. I mean, they

1431
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 2: got to get some production out of this guy. Can they?

1432
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 3: Will they?

1433
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I just think it's hard to

1434
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 5: count on those guys sixth seventh round because really, in essence,

1435
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,959
Speaker 5: they're like free agents. I mean projects, you just yeah,

1436
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 5: the developmental guys, it takes time for them to get

1437
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 5: on the field. So and for me, I want to

1438
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 5: make sure that numbers back up what we were saying,

1439
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 5: that they have legitimate production that you not only see

1440
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 5: on tape, but when you go to it against you

1441
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 5: feel their presence. I can't say that everybody there we

1442
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 5: talked about necessarily feels that.

1443
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

1444
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 2: All right, I want to run this by and I

1445
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 2: want to apologize to Kevin. Why Well, we'll get to

1446
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 2: you in a minute, but this is on my mind.

1447
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to forget it because I have a small mind.

1448
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 2: I really do talk about Jacoby Brissette signs a one

1449
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 2: year contract with the Patriots. He says he's looking forward

1450
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 2: to competing with the number three man, number three pick,

1451
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 2: Drake May your guy out of North Carolina for the

1452
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 2: starting job for the New England Patriots quarterback. First of all,

1453
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this, Jacoby. Number one, it's a lie.

1454
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 2: Number two, Jacoby, you despise May. You can't stand the guy.

1455
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 2: Number three, you hate the Patriots for drafting him? Am

1456
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 2: I am I right on that, A, B, and C

1457
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 2: all the above. Is that true? It's true. It's got

1458
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,439
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett. He's not hopping that they drafted Drake May.

1459
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: How could he be happy?

1460
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 3: And he hates the Patriots for doing it.

1461
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 2: He knows that the draft pick probably is worth more

1462
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 2: than he the veteran, because if you drafting a guy,

1463
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 2: it means you need the guy, and they do need

1464
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 2: the guy. Drake May will probably be the quarterback of

1465
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots. You're a guy from North Carolina.

1466
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 5: I mean potentially a lot of it depends on how

1467
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 5: Drake May handles himself. How does he handle himself at

1468
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 5: Ricky Minichamp, How does he handle it at OTAs as

1469
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 5: he looked too big for him? Has he cleaned up

1470
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,479
Speaker 5: some of the footworks up that people have pointed out

1471
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 5: about him not throwing off a steady and stable platform,

1472
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 5: all of those things.

1473
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 4: He has to go to work.

1474
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 5: So Drake May would determine ultimately when he gets the ball,

1475
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 5: because when he's ready, they're gonna throw him out there.

1476
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 5: But he has to show enough to make them believe

1477
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 5: that he's ready.

1478
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 2: But you do believe that he's the guy right now

1479
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 2: leading the pack to start a quarterback Drake May everything

1480
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 2: is given.

1481
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 5: I think I think Jacoby said it probably start the

1482
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 5: first at least four games, but I'm more optimistic he

1483
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 5: starts to first eight. Then Drake takes over doing about In.

1484
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 2: Other words, you'll say that wfter the first date, they'd

1485
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 2: be like three and five, what do you may win? Six?

1486
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:14,439
Speaker 5: That that'd be past case scenario two and five, three

1487
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 5: and six. You it gives them a chance to get

1488
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 5: high down the stretch.

1489
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 2: There you go.

1490
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, bug I wanted to know about

1491
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 3: that deal. All right.

1492
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 2: He is Bucky Brooks and Andy Furmer. We are Fox

1493
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. Does time really matter?

1494
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 2: That's coming up next Life from the tiraq dot Com Studios.

1495
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 2: But first we are sorry again we're late for Kevin Wyatt.

1496
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 11: With all your time is purely a human construct. So

1497
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 11: I am here for you whenever you need me.

1498
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 2: Thank you, my friend.

1499
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 11: We had NBA Playoff action on a Saturday Timberwolves and

1500
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 11: Nuggets Game one of the Western Conference Semifinals. Anthony Edwards

1501
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,799
Speaker 11: an outstanding performance as he had himself forty three points

1502
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 11: on the evening off of seventeen to twenty nine, shooting

1503
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 11: so now efficient and big scoring night four. Edwards I

1504
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 11: also had seven rebounds, three assists, a couple of blocks

1505
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 11: to help Minnesota take a one nothing lead in this

1506
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 11: best of seven series. Nikola Jokic played well as he

1507
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 11: always does, came up just shy of another triple double

1508
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 11: thirty two points. He had eight rebounds and nine assists.

1509
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 11: NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, bru wins over the Maple Leafs

1510
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 11: two to one in overtime as David Pastor Nart got

1511
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 11: the game winning goal to win it again two to

1512
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 11: one to claim the series four to three, and the

1513
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 11: Bruins will advance to the second round in the Kentucky Derby,

1514
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 11: Mystic Dan winning it literally by a nose to claim

1515
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 11: the first race out of the Triple Crown, as the

1516
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 11: Breakness and Belmont Stakes will take place in the next

1517
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 11: few weeks. In Major League Baseball, Dodgers and Braves LA

1518
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,440
Speaker 11: wins it in a blowout eleven to two. Showy Otani

1519
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 11: hitting a home run. He's been playing as well as

1520
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 11: he has, and he hit it his eighth home run

1521
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 11: as a Dodger, breaking the record set by a Dodger

1522
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 11: born in Japan, which was set by Dave Roberts, his manager.

1523
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 11: So he gifted him a Porsche, but it was just

1524
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 11: a toy car, not a real one. So it's kind

1525
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 11: of a funny joke there. Padres over the Diamondbacks thirteen

1526
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 11: to one. Mariners blanked the Astros five nothing, a raise

1527
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 11: hole off the Mets three to one.

1528
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, thanks, Cav's seeing it now now

1529
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 2: to share this stat to me is somewhat pathetic, it

1530
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 2: really is.

1531
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 3: That's coming right up. He's bucket Brooks.

1532
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 2: I mean, the firmer got bottom barrel betting at about

1533
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 2: seventy eight minutes from now. And now let's talk about that,

1534
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 2: the wonderful sport of baseball. You know, it's baseball season,

1535
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 2: but no one talks about baseball during baseball season. Really,

1536
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: you know, this is the way it is. Football is

1537
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 2: thrown a blanket over major League baseball. But we're going

1538
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 2: to take a little time out right now talk about

1539
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 2: major League baseball. Why because baseball is timeless. It's the

1540
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,799
Speaker 2: only sport that is timeless. What makes it so beautiful?

1541
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Because in summertime, you could sit

1542
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 2: in the sun. Sunlight's beautiful, sit out there, and again,

1543
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 2: there's no clock in the game of baseball. So why

1544
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 2: do the geniuses of Major League Baseball promote the average

1545
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: time of a game right now is two hours and

1546
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 2: thirty six minutes through the first month.

1547
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 3: Who in the hell cares? They said?

1548
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 2: The average time of a nine in n game is

1549
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 2: two hours thirty six minutes through the first month of

1550
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: Major league season. That's down one minute for in twenty

1551
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 2: twenty three, in the second year of the pitch clock.

1552
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,879
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks, I asked you, who cares?

1553
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 2: I go to a Major League Baseball game and I

1554
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 2: don't really care about the time, And I think that's

1555
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 2: the beauty of the game. Was it's timeless. It's the

1556
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 2: only sport that doesn't rely on the clock. And now

1557
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 2: they shove the clock in there. And look, I may

1558
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: be showing my age, but when I was a kid,

1559
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 2: I used to go to double headers on Sunday at

1560
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium.

1561
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 3: One o'clock.

1562
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 2: They'd start and I'd be home by seven or seven thirty.

1563
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 2: No one cared about the clock. They really didn't.

1564
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 3: Why did they? But care about it now.

1565
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 5: Because this is a different generation consuming sports. And so

1566
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 5: when we think about the short attentions fans of the

1567
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 5: young people, then I can watch it a three and

1568
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 5: a half hour game, which is what we used to

1569
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 5: see in baseball. By implementing the pitch clock and some

1570
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 5: of the changes, they've dramatically cut down the amount of

1571
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 5: time it takes to watch a game. And in a

1572
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 5: perfect world, I bet you if you pull TV executives,

1573
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 5: they would like what soccer has. Soccer is able to

1574
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 5: pull off two hour windows for their programming, and part

1575
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 5: of that is they limit the amount of time they

1576
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 5: can give extra time.

1577
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,799
Speaker 4: They just kind of know how to keep it moving.

1578
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 4: Like some of.

1579
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 5: Some TV's execs want baseball to fit into that box

1580
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 5: because now it's a more sellable product. There are more

1581
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 5: people watching. You're not asking them to commit hours upon

1582
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 5: hours to watch. The game is short. Sweet, you get

1583
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 5: what you want, get the advertising and all the other

1584
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 5: stuff that you need to So it's a win win

1585
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 5: for the public and also for the teams.

1586
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 2: I would say this, I remember back in the day,

1587
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 2: and this is going back maybe four or five years ago,

1588
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 2: and on the East Coast, Eastern time NFL Sunday one

1589
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 2: o'clock kickoff, the game will be over maybe the latest

1590
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 2: three thirty five, three forty. Now, the one o'clock game

1591
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 2: ends about four ten, four point fifteen, and I understand it.

1592
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 2: It's just commercials that they have more breaks. I don't

1593
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 2: hear anybody complaining that is too long. I don't hear that.

1594
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't get enough of a matter of fact,

1595
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a lot of people that turn their

1596
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 2: TV on in the East Coast at one o'clock and

1597
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 2: they turn it off maybe at eleven at night, which

1598
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 2: they watch both games, and then they watch the Sunday

1599
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 2: night game. And no one complains about time in football.

1600
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 2: Why they complain about time in baseball.

1601
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 5: Because we just understand that we love football. There's more

1602
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 5: action in football than in baseball. I mean, you can

1603
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 5: just imagine. You can go these baseball games and it's

1604
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 5: a one meal, a one oh shutout.

1605
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 4: In eleven innings.

1606
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 5: You're talking about not seeing anybody hit, not seeing anybody

1607
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 5: on base.

1608
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 4: Uh, that's not exciting for fans.

1609
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 5: Whereas in football there are a bunch of different things

1610
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 5: that you can focus on that can create the distraction

1611
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 5: to to mass some of the flaws and defendencies on

1612
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 5: the field. That's where it comes down to. It's about

1613
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 5: just understanding what are you trying to protect and how

1614
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,440
Speaker 5: the best protected while also giving the people what they want.

1615
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 3: You know, it's a crazy situation.

1616
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 2: Said last year, the average time increased gradually through the season,

1617
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 2: from two thirty seven through April to two thirty eight

1618
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 2: in May, two thirty nine in June, too, forty one

1619
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 2: in July, in August. Who's two hours and forty four

1620
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 2: minutes in September. And I don't understand why I don't

1621
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 2: like to know the man who's keeping time for this.

1622
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 2: I understand soccer. Soccer is perfect because people who are

1623
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 2: in a hurry and then they're concerned. If the kickoff

1624
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 2: of the match on the pitch is at seven o'clock,

1625
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: there's a good chance you'll be home by nine boom,

1626
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 2: two forty five minute halves running clock. That's basically, and

1627
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 2: sometimes that's some extra time in but basically, two hours

1628
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 2: seven o'clock you should be home by little after nine o'clock.

1629
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 2: Is it that big of a deal. I mean, you

1630
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 2: go to a Broadway show, no one's looking at the

1631
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 2: clock and say, wow, three acts instead of two? Why

1632
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: are they? Baseball is the only sport that people complain.

1633
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 2: It's the only I guess activity, the only entertainment venue

1634
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 2: that that people complain about the time. I don't understand why. Well,

1635
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 2: maybe major League Baseball the officials thought that baseball was

1636
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 2: hurting because of the time, and they sped it up.

1637
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 2: I didn't even like that ext rainnings deal. That's the

1638
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 2: stupidest thing in the world. Starting the guy's second base.

1639
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 12: Do you like that?

1640
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 3: You think that's well, I mean.

1641
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 4: Look, it's just a static game.

1642
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 5: And as much as I'm a purist and I love baseball's, man,

1643
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 5: that's a long time. If you're not having offense, you're

1644
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 5: just looking at people. Three up, three down, three up,

1645
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 5: three down, three up, three down, no spice. We have

1646
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 5: all these unwritten rules where when guys do make plays,

1647
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 5: we don't want them to celebrate. So it became a very,

1648
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 5: very boring game, and you were at the risk of

1649
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 5: losing the young public, particularly those who have watched the

1650
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 5: gameplay other spots, and so I think this was designed

1651
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 5: to make sure that they keep the attention on the game,

1652
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 5: and they maybe appear to the younger dynamic.

1653
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 2: I'll go to a baseball game and I'll see fans

1654
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 2: in the stands with books, reading books, Fans in the

1655
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 2: stands on their phone. You want to know why people

1656
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 2: get hit with balls in a baseball game because they're

1657
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 2: not paying attention. Really, baseball is like a chess match.

1658
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 2: You get a right handed batter that bring up a

1659
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 2: right handed pitcher to face him. I mean, you got

1660
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 2: to study the game a little bit. But when I

1661
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 2: go to a game, I see people with magazines and

1662
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,799
Speaker 2: newspapers reading during the game, or playing with their cell phone.

1663
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 2: I scratch, But why are you even going? Why go?

1664
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 2: But that's for another day another story. But last, but

1665
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 2: not least, Friday night, the Reds were playing the Baltimore

1666
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 2: Oriols in Cincinnati and had a two hour forty one

1667
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 2: minute rain delay, and they couldn't tell the fans to

1668
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 2: go home. Two hours forty one minutes then they played.

1669
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: You know, if you're so concerned with time, call the game,

1670
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 2: why make people wait. It's unbelievable what people do. But

1671
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 2: that's for another day. Another story. That's another way I

1672
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 2: don't understand that at all, Monkey Brooks, Andy Furman, Fox

1691
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 15: a little weird, a little weird circumstances. Let me explain you.

1692
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 5: It was.

1693
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 15: It was only two to one, two points Andy, one point, Bucky.

1694
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,320

1695
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,439

1696
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 15: get to compete and that that was Bucky's pick, so Andy,

1697
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 15: being the traitorous non patriot, ended up paying off.

1698
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 3: For whatever it takes.

1699
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,559

Speaker 4: What's up?

01:21:58,479 --> 01:21:59,080

Speaker 16: Why it's the best segment on radio?

1796
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah, brought your your horizons a little bit.

1797
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:13,719
Speaker 16: Well, I smoked a lot of weed too.

1798
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 2: There you go, I and now I got you. Now

1799
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 2: I understand.

1800
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 16: Well, Andy, I wanted to ask man. I had heard

1801
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 16: I don't remember the show. It's another Fox radio show

1802
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 16: they were talking about that you've actually corresponded with Bill

1803
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 16: Belichick through Brighton letters before. I thought that was really interesting.

1804
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 2: This is like you know, you're going into You're pushing

1805
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 2: the curtain back now this is like my personal life.

1806
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 2: This is what I do. But I'll tell you because

1807
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 2: you see, you see to be a good friend, and

1808
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 2: you'll probably forget about it anyway when I tell you,

1809
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 2: because you're gonna smoke some weed and you'll forget about it.

1810
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 2: So that's good. So I'll tell you exactly what I do. Well,

1811
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 2: one of the trademarks I guess what I do, and

1812
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 2: I've done twelve radio now. For a while before I

1813
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,520
Speaker 2: came to Fox, I was at WLW Radio in Cincinnati.

1814
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: I would obviously send people a fact letter. Anytime anybody

1815
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 2: was on as a guest, I figured it was their

1816
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 2: time write in a little thank you note. But then

1817
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 2: I would always write little notes. When I lived in

1818
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 2: the East Coast in New York City and Brooklyn, Bobby

1819
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 2: Knight was May he rest in peace. Bobby Knight was

1820
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 2: basketball coach at Army. I'd write to him all the time.

1821
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 2: When I came to Cincinnati and he was coaching in Indiana,

1822
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 2: he'd go on my radio show. He wouldn't go on,

1823
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 2: I mean many shows. He did his own personal basketball

1824
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:26,600
Speaker 2: coaching show, but he went on with me in Cincinnati.

1825
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 2: But he had good ground rules. The ground rules were

1826
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 2: a half hour, no commercials, no phone calls, and that

1827
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 2: was fine with me. But I think that the relationships

1828
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 2: that you could make with people through letter writing, and

1829
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 2: I think people appreciate that because you're taking the time

1830
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 2: to do so. And I did that with Bill Belichick.

1831
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 2: And I don't want to make this a little long story,

1832
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 2: but how I got to know Bill Belichick is when

1833
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 2: he was coaching the Cleveland Browns. For some reason, I

1834
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 2: was writing to him and he asked me if I

1835
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 2: had a tape of a Cincinnati Bengal game, and I

1836
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 2: told him I'll get it to him. He gave me

1837
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 2: his FedEx number in Cleveland, and I fed exd the

1838
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,719
Speaker 2: tape of game, which was difficult for me to get.

1839
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 2: I had to go to a sports bar and say

1840
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,679
Speaker 2: I needed the tape. I didn't want to tell him

1841
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 2: because the Bengals' is an hometown team here in Cincinnati,

1842
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 2: but I sent it to him. He sent me back

1843
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,759
Speaker 2: a Cleveland Browns hoodie. I think it was at a time,

1844
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 2: and we became sort of like pen pals. And when

1845
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 2: he went to New England, i'd write to him. He

1846
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 2: wrote me back, and obviously he does his weekly coaches

1847
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 2: show and I don't think he does many, if any,

1848
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 2: radio gigs, but he was on with Fox with Me

1849
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 2: about a year or so ago during the week when

1850
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 2: I was doing a weekly show and it came on

1851
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,599
Speaker 2: with me at that time. And I've written to coaches

1852
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 2: all over the country. I think that it's a way

1853
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 2: to you know, get to know, then they know you

1854
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 2: form relationships. And that's basically the way it is if

1855
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,759
Speaker 2: you're a salesman, and Bucky knows this. If you're a salesman,

1856
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 2: you know you want to make relationships. Most sales are

1857
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 2: based on relationships, not so much on ratings or you know,

1858
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,720
Speaker 2: how good your product is. If you're selling TV time

1859
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 2: or radio time, it's a relationship. They trust you, they

1860
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 2: like you, they they'll buy from you. That's what it is.

1861
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 2: And I enjoyed writing letters and it's kind of a

1862
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 2: of mine and I still do.

1863
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 4: So that's it. That's it, Mike.

1864
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:06,679
Speaker 13: Still mail.

1865
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's you know, when I first started writting

1866
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 2: letters as a kid, I think stance were like a

1867
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 2: nickel there's sixty four cents now, but you know, that's

1868
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 2: that's the way life is. You know, what could you do?

1869
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 2: But I appreciate the call and thank you for listening,

1870
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 2: and God bless you all right, thank you now, I'm

1871
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 2: sorry I boyed you with that buck, I am, But

1872
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 2: we move on. Let's talk about the NBA. Okay, talk

1873
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 2: about the NBA. A story to address. In the NBA,

1874
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 2: the LA Clippers for first in fifty four seasons. Their

1875
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 2: Clippers have never made the NBA finals. They made the

1876
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 2: conference finals only one time, and Friday they lose to

1877
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 2: the Mavericks one fourteen, one on one. I'm gonna say it, okay,

1878
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 2: and athletes hate to hear this. I'm gonna say it

1879
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 2: right now, Kui, where are you? Are you ever gonna

1880
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 2: play again?

1881
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 3: Where are you?

1882
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 2: Really?

1883
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 3: I thought it was a great movie. Left toront they

1884
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 3: went to La never plays. Where are you?

1885
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 2: Okay?

1886
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 3: James Harden, Russell Westbrook, This is a terrible thing to say.

1887
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it. You guys will lose if the

1888
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 2: Clippers signed these guys back. They're out of their minds,

1889
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 2: really losers. And I like Westbrook.

1890
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 3: I love that.

1891
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 2: I loved that when I saw him in Oklahoma City,

1892
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 2: when the big old Oscar Robertson was there to shake

1893
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 2: his hand when he broke that record with the triple double.

1894
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to him, but these guys

1895
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 2: are losers right now. But the biggest question in the

1896
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:21,719
Speaker 2: NBA what's next for the Lakers? How long will Lebron

1897
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 2: James hold them hostage? They got to hit he look,

1898
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 2: he got the coach fire darthinim. You know that buck

1899
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 2: he did. He wanted the tray for Russell Westbrook. What's next?

1900
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Lakers.

1901
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 3: What's going on? What's going on with Lebron and the Lakers?

1902
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 3: Tell me? Fill me in?

1903
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 5: Well, I will say this, look the Lakers for a

1904
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 5: team that had the pieces to be a championship team.

1905
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 5: And I'm not a Laker fan, I'm not a Laker homer,

1906
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 5: but the Lakers took the Denver Nuggets to the map.

1907
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 5: The Lakers led the majority of the series but couldn't

1908
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 5: close out. And we won't base it to Darbeham's job

1909
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 5: status just on this series, but I think it kind

1910
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 5: of reflects all the things that people who are Laker fans,

1911
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 5: the frustrations that they had with him, inconsistent rotations, lack

1912
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 5: of execution in key moments, a team that just didn't

1913
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 5: appear to have like a clear identity in terms of

1914
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 5: like style of play and what they wanted to get

1915
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:21,599
Speaker 5: accomplished each and every night.

1916
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 4: I think he caught up with them.

1917
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 5: I will say this, I believe the Lakers are a

1918
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 5: hard team to coach just due to the fact of

1919
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 5: the Lebron factor. I think it's hard when you have

1920
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 5: a very talented player who's older, who's done things his

1921
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 5: own way for a long time. It's hard to be

1922
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 5: a new coach to try and change some of those habits,

1923
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 5: and so you have to kind of, you know, I

1924
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 5: won't say work around him, but it has to be

1925
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 5: a partnership with you and him to be able to

1926
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 5: pull it off. I just think that, you know, the

1927
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 5: Lakers will never be what they were until they have

1928
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 5: a coach that ultimately man's the respect of Lebron if

1929
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 5: Lebron returns, If not, then it's about how do you

1930
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 5: build this team around ad. And for all of the

1931
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 5: wonderful things that Darbenham has done as an assistant, I

1932
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 5: think people grow were questioning his tactical abilities, his ability

1933
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 5: to get on the board when he gets to the playoffs,

1934
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 5: and his coach on coach not just play your own player,

1935
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 5: and it's about the x's and os and what are

1936
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:27,480
Speaker 5: your adjustments and what are your adjustments to the adjustments

1937
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 5: the opponent mates. I think he came up short. And

1938
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 5: as a young coach, look man, that's the part that

1939
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:36,840
Speaker 5: you can acquire that knowledge in time. He just didn't

1940
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 5: get enough time to be able to do it.

1941
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 4: Well.

1942
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 2: Here's a situation right now. I think with the Lakers

1943
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 2: number one in the series against Denver. They blew a

1944
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 2: twenty point lead in Game two, and I think that

1945
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 2: was the final store that was it right there, had

1946
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 2: a twenty point lead and they blew that. Next question

1947
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 2: is Lebron James going to stay in Lakers uniform or not?

1948
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 2: And the third question is people going to say what

1949
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 2: happened to him? I mean, where did he go wrong?

1950
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 2: Where did devarn him go wrong? They lost ten oft

1951
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 2: of thirteen games after that n season tournament. They had

1952
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 2: two four game losing streaks. They were healthy during that time.

1953
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 2: Only I think D'Angelo Russell he missed about three or

1954
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 2: four games. Gave Vincent he was about a dozen games.

1955
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: Those are the guys that were out. And outside of

1956
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 2: that period they won forty four and twenty five, a

1957
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 2: fifty two wins pace and then they hit rock bottom.

1958
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened right there. That a thirteen

1959
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 2: game losing streak, and that's not going to make it.

1960
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 2: It's not going to cut it. So who's going to

1961
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 2: be the coach? Will Lebron stay? And I'll tell you why.

1962
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 2: You talk about Lebron James as great as he is,

1963
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 2: and it's an amazing guy. I mean, he is an

1964
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 2: amazing guy. Thirty nine years of age to play at

1965
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 2: that level that he's playing right now, he's a tremendous

1966
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 2: play I'm not taking anything away from his playing days,

1967
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 2: but he's not the most but he's one of the

1968
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 2: most polarizing players in sports. Okay, and after the game

1969
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 2: when they were eliminated. After game five, let's take a

1970
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 2: list to Lebron what he did in the postgame news

1971
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 2: conference tonight.

1972
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 4: Was there any thought at all that this could have

1973
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 4: been your last game? I'm not gonna answer that. Appreciate it.

1974
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not too sure if that's all on

1975
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: Lebron or maybe that's not the time and place for

1976
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 2: that question. You know, It's like when I watch a

1977
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 2: pro boxing match and after the guy wins, guy comes

1978
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 2: in and reporter comes in or TV guy puts a

1979
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 2: microphone under the winner and he says, who's next? Who

1980
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 2: are gonna face next? You know, talk about what just happened.

1981
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to know about the future yet this

1982
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 2: time for that? Am I wrong on that?

1983
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 3: Buck?

1984
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I watch boxing on TV, and

1985
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 2: after the boxing match is over, the announcer will always

1986
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 2: go over to the guy and say, great match, Congratulations,

1987
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 2: what's next? No, No, how did you do it? What

1988
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 2: was your strategy you, Lebron? Why did you lose? How

1989
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:48,600
Speaker 2: did you lose? What happened? How much of a disappointment

1990
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 2: was that loss for you? Guys? Now that you're going

1991
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 2: to play next year, we've got time for that. Maybe

1992
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, but do you agree with that?

1993
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 5: I think Lebron needs to be a profession answer the question,

1994
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 5: you know, like I think.

1995
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 4: He understood that.

1996
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 5: He's well aware of his legacy, he's well aware of

1997
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 5: his impact on the league. He had to anticipate that

1998
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 5: that was going to be one of the questions that

1999
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,679
Speaker 5: was going to be asked at the pressor he needed

2000
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,839
Speaker 5: to have a baked answer or whatever. But to answer

2001
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 5: it like that, like, come on, dude, like we all

2002
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 5: know what it is. Yes, no, I don't know. I'm

2003
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 5: still pondering, but I'm not going to answer that. That's unacceptable.

2004
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 5: Answer the question. You know, he knows that, and he's

2005
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 5: well aware of all the stuff. So I just prefer him,

2006
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 5: when he's not in passive aggressive mode to just shoot

2007
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 5: it straight, man, don't hide behind it or whatever. And

2008
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 5: I love Lebron like look, I am a huge Lebron fan.

2009
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 5: I remember watching his first game when he stepped into

2010
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:43,439
Speaker 5: the league versus the Sacramento Kings, and I've always followed

2011
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 5: him along his journey. But there's some things about him that, look,

2012
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 5: can irritate me. When it comes to that stuff. You're

2013
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 5: well aware of it. Just answer the question so we

2014
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 5: all can kind of understand or whatever, because all it

2015
01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 5: does now it just creates more conversation, more fodder, more

2016
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 5: speculation about what is he in or is he out?

2017
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 5: And that was going to exist anyway, but everyone wants

2018
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 5: to know that. And for someone who is I would

2019
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 5: say this, he is on the fringe of having that

2020
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 5: beloved adulation from Lakers friends. It's like hot or cold

2021
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,720
Speaker 5: on him because of the Kobe thing and whatever. I

2022
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,640
Speaker 5: think at this point, man, you need to open up

2023
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 5: so you can ingratiate yourself to the Laker fan base,

2024
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 5: because they do go back and forth. They waffle on

2025
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 5: whether they see him as an all time great for him,

2026
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 5: they waffle on whether the fact that he'll deserve a

2027
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 5: statue in front of the building like Kobe and like

2028
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 5: Kareem and like Magic and some of the other Laker greats.

2029
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 5: I just think he should to open up and be

2030
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 5: real because either he's in or he's a mercenary doing

2031
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 5: his own thing, and I don't think anybody really appreciates

2032
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 5: that part of his personality.

2033
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was sort of rude what he did to

2034
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 2: know that about that, but I think he does that

2035
01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 2: because he knows full well no one's going to challenge

2036
01:32:59,479 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 2: him on that.

2037
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 3: Really.

2038
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I think media people are somewhat intimidated by him,

2039
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:04,520
Speaker 2: don't you think.

2040
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 5: Maybe so because people don't want to lose the access,

2041
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 5: you know, but they don't want to lose the access

2042
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 5: to him, so a lot of times they don't challenge him.

2043
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 4: But just like coaches have.

2044
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,759
Speaker 5: To do it, you have to be willing to confront

2045
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:21,679
Speaker 5: him about some of that, like go back and forth

2046
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 5: and don't let him don't let him out of that, Like,

2047
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 5: that's kind of part of you know, you talk about

2048
01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 5: being a journalist and and media members being in the scrum.

2049
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:32,759
Speaker 5: Part of that is someone has to ask the tough questions.

2050
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 5: You don't have to do it in a jerk way,

2051
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 5: but you certainly need to get the question asked because

2052
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 5: that's what the public want to know. The number one

2053
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 5: question after the Lakers lost is is Lebron coming back?

2054
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 5: Is he leaving? Is he retiring, or is he returning?

2055
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 5: That is the number one question that everyone want to

2056
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 5: want it answered. And so someone should have asked that,

2057
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 5: and he should have he should have replied to that.

2058
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:57,160
Speaker 2: You know what, I think one of the problems and

2059
01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 2: maybe I'm way off based though, but I remember back

2060
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 2: in the day, they didn't have these group news conferences,

2061
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 2: and maybe you remember that as well. You know, they

2062
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 2: have the cooling off period about ten to fifteen minutes.

2063
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 2: Then they opened the locker room and all the journalists,

2064
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 2: all the media people, TV, radio, whatever, newspapers would come

2065
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 2: in and you could camp out in front of a

2066
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 2: locker talk to a guy, and that's basically it. Now

2067
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 2: they bring in two or three athletes and the coach

2068
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 2: on a stage after the game and the media sits

2069
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 2: down there in a kind of an assembly situation. And

2070
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,679
Speaker 2: I think that there are some media people that resent

2071
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 2: that because you lose the possibility of getting your own personal,

2072
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 2: one on one story with someone. So maybe Lebron has

2073
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 2: a favorite media guy that he would maybe give that

2074
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 2: story to that year I'm going to retire then, instead

2075
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 2: of giving it out to everybody. I mean, does that

2076
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:48,800
Speaker 2: make any sense to you? I think it really does.

2077
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 2: I mean to me, it does. I mean, why would

2078
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 2: you tell the world when if you have a confidence

2079
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 2: and one guy who's been good to you, give him

2080
01:34:56,479 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 2: that story or he yeah.

2081
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 4: I mean, that's it.

2082
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 5: And it's part of the quote unquote new media that

2083
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 5: has been touted the non traditional media, where players are

2084
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,559
Speaker 5: kind of creating their own media outlets and going to

2085
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 5: their own podcast and doing those things, which I love.

2086
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 4: But you know, like there's certainly that.

2087
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 5: Where you can give the exclusive behind the paywall, behind

2088
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:24,240
Speaker 5: the scenes access and just the generic stuff that you

2089
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 5: know that you have to answer, you know that you

2090
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:26,919
Speaker 5: should be answering.

2091
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,080
Speaker 2: Okay, let's let's talk about Lebron for just a second.

2092
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 2: He just finished his twenty first NBA season. He has

2093
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 2: a fifty one point four million dollar player option for

2094
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 2: the twenty four twenty five season, and June twenty ninth

2095
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 2: is the option date. And there was something in the

2096
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 2: news the other day that the Lakers owner Jenny Buss

2097
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 2: or Genie Buss says that the James return is of

2098
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 2: paramount importance to their plan. That's kind of interesting because

2099
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 2: you're going to have a thirty nine year old guy

2100
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 2: pushing forty. He's going to be the guy you gonna

2101
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 2: build your team around. And obviously Lebron says he wants

2102
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 2: to play with his son, so that's another factor right there.

2103
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 2: So if not only did he get the coach fired,

2104
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:05,839
Speaker 2: and we know he probably did get the coach fired,

2105
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna bully this Laker organization say, yeah, you want

2106
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 2: me back, that's fine, but you got to draft my son.

2107
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,640
Speaker 2: I mean, and I don't know if Browny's ready to

2108
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 2: play in the NBA.

2109
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And let's speak about that, because the are a

2110
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 5: lot of people that are upset about Bronnie having an

2111
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:25,000
Speaker 5: invite to the NBA combine, and there's some notable names

2112
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 5: that don't have invites, like Caleb Love from Arizona doesn't

2113
01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 5: have an invite DJ Burns DJ Horn from NC State

2114
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:36,919
Speaker 5: respectively do not have invites here. From a scouting perspective,

2115
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 5: here here's why I guy like Brianni James would get

2116
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 5: an invite one his name, Right, he's Lebron's son.

2117
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 4: And there's a thing in the.

2118
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 5: League, whether it's pro football, basketball or baseball. Scouts, we

2119
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 5: love bloodlines, we love legacy. Right, there's a feeling that

2120
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:59,520
Speaker 5: when you take on or evaluate someone's son or someone's

2121
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,720
Speaker 5: nephew that has ties to a pro sports league, that

2122
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:05,679
Speaker 5: maybe playing pro sports is part of the family business.

2123
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 5: They get it, they grew up around it, there's something

2124
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 5: to it or whatever. So with Bronnie, obviously his dad

2125
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 5: is gonna go down as one of the greatest players

2126
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 5: to ever play. You're naturally gonna kick the tires on

2127
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 5: his son just to see if he hasn't. Last year,

2128
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 5: like two weeks ago, in the draft, I think there

2129
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 5: were seven or eight father son combinations, right, sons of

2130
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 5: former players that were in the draft that were drafted.

2131
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,720
Speaker 4: That's just a part of right, So you do that.

2132
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 5: Bronnie athletically has some things that's intriguing. High weight speed

2133
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:38,719
Speaker 5: is always a factor, and so even though people point

2134
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 5: to his point totals and all that other stuff. The

2135
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 5: draft is not about the immediate college production. It's about

2136
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 5: pro projection. How does he project at the next level.

2137
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:51,680
Speaker 5: And that's why a guy like him can get it

2138
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 5: the legacy and how he projects as opposed to what

2139
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 5: other guys who are older are not able to get

2140
01:37:57,680 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 5: those invites.

2141
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 4: That's all I did. Just so since we're.

2142
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 5: Talking about Lebron doing the package deal where he wants

2143
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 5: to go where his son goes, Yeah, that's also a

2144
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 5: part of it. You're gonna kick the tires on Bronni

2145
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,639
Speaker 5: because maybe you want Lebron James and his Swan song.

2146
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 4: Right.

2147
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 2: You know what, if I was a betting man, and

2148
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 2: I was yesterday with the Kentucky Derby, But if I

2149
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,679
Speaker 2: was a betting man, I would say that Lebron will

2150
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 2: be back and Bronni will be on the roster. That

2151
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:24,680
Speaker 2: you know. That's the way it is. I mean, and

2152
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 2: I think that the Lakers as an entertainment venture, I

2153
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 2: think they need him there because he attracts people. I

2154
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:33,680
Speaker 2: mean that that's basically what it's all about. It's all

2155
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 2: about selling tickets. And I think that it's difficult to

2156
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 2: build your team around the thirty nine to forty year

2157
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 2: old guy. But people want to see him play, especially

2158
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 2: Next year may very well be his swan song, So

2159
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 2: in every city that he goes to, they may have

2160
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,600
Speaker 2: like a Lebron celebration. So who knows what's gonna happen, right,

2161
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 2: But I think he'll be a Laker.

2162
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 4: Next year, probably so, and I think is in the Lakers'

2163
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 4: best senttion to do that.

2164
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 5: Look, he's box office, he's a main attraction. People are

2165
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 5: gonna bring it. He also played pretty well and this season,

2166
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 5: I mean, like just look at the numbers.

2167
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 4: He played well enough.

2168
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 5: And I will say this, no one expected Lebron James

2169
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,879
Speaker 5: to be the number one option of this team at.

2170
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 4: This stage of his career.

2171
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 5: But here he is as the number one option, still

2172
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 5: killing it, still putting up numbers.

2173
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 4: There's something to be said for that.

2174
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. He's Bucky Brooks. Get him on Twitter

2175
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 2: at Bucket Brooks and Andy Fermant FSOL. We'll read him,

2176
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 2: we'll retweet him if you deserve it. And also we'd

2177
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 2: love to hear from you. Eight seven to seven ninety

2178
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,320

2179
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:33,519

2180
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,959
Speaker 2: of this album. Right now, this is the best offense

2181
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 2: they've had all year. Really, it's true. That's next A

Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, Andy Fumim. But right now we have a

2195
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 2: couple of people want to talk to you, Bucky, Dan

2196
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 2: and Kansas. You're on Fox Sports Sunday.

2197
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 6: Hey, Andy, Hey, Bucky, how you doing?

2198
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 10: No?

2199
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 6: I think this Celtics will win the title? And Bucky

2200
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 6: what you how do you like playing with Marty here?

2201
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 6: Hearing with the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs can tribute

2202
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 6: or are your top from that.

2203
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 4: Uh, look, I really enjoyed my time in Kansas City.

2204
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 5: I think Marty seat Himer is one of the best

2205
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 5: coaches to ever coach in the National Football League.

2206
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 13: Uh.

2207
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:41,840
Speaker 5: He was one of well, I think at the time

2208
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 5: only seven coach in the NFL history to have over

2209
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:44,799
Speaker 5: two hundred wins.

2210
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 4: What he believed in, the.

2211
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 5: Style of play, not beating you, sales, the physicality and toughness.

2212
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 4: Those things still hold true in today's game.

2213
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 5: It's unfortunate that he never won a title, but uh,

2214
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 5: I think he left a legacy in the Emperor and

2215
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 5: the game that many fall asuit.

2216
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 2: Like that. All Right, thank you for your call. Dan

2217
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 2: in Kansas Holiday and La wants to thought the Bucky

2218
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 2: Brooks Fox Sports Southern Fox Sports Radio, Hello Holiday here,

2219
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 2: Good morning morning.

2220
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 17: How are you man? I'm calling about the Lebron take.

2221
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 17: I have a reason why he said it, Like you

2222
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 17: guys said, Lebron is one of the most media sut

2223
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 17: of the plays we've ever seen. And he just didn't

2224
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 17: want the narrative and he likes to control the narrative.

2225
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 17: And he knew that if he came out and just

2226
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 17: made it a question mark of whether he was going

2227
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 17: to return the next day. That would be the headline

2228
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 17: instead of him getting out out the playoffs for the

2229
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 17: second year in a row by the same team. That's

2230
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 17: all I wanted to say, all right, we'll do it.

2231
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,080
Speaker 2: You know, I never thought of that. That's tremendous, you know,

2232
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 2: really and truly because the headline basically was all about

2233
01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 2: Lebron saying, you know, he walked out, he shouldn't have

2234
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 2: done this, Will he return, rather than the headline could

2235
01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 2: have been Lakers failed, Lakers faltered. I mean, really, it's

2236
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 2: not a bid reasoning. I'm sure. Do you think that

2237
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 2: could have been the deal? I think it might be maybe.

2238
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Like it certainly could be

2239
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 5: in play he does do that. Maybe he wanted to

2240
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 5: overshadow those things or whatever. But at this stage of

2241
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 5: his career, man, he has nothing that he really has

2242
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 5: to worry about. When he comes to the media, people

2243
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,600
Speaker 5: can say whatever, like he's a very accomplished player. He

2244
01:42:21,640 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 5: would go down once again in the conversation as one

2245
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 5: of the greatest. People can debate whether he's the goat

2246
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 5: or not, but he's in that conversation, which is all

2247
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:32,840
Speaker 5: you can ever ask for. So to me, it's a

2248
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 5: non factor unless he really cares about, like how people

2249
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 5: weigh in on why they lost. Easy to blame for

2250
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 5: the loss. But I think it's a different time now.

2251
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:43,640
Speaker 5: I think people have an appreciation for him at his

2252
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 5: age that he's not expected to carry the team at forty.

2253
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 5: Even Michael Jordan couldn't carry the team at forty when

2254
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 5: he was with the Wizards. No one expects a guy

2255
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 5: of his age to be able to do that. I

2256
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 5: just think like the people wanted that, I understand it.

2257
01:42:57,360 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 4: Though. You can talk about him controlling the narrative, so

2258
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 4: maybe that is a play.

2259
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,879
Speaker 2: Could very well be. You know, it's about polarizing athletes,

2260
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 2: and certainly he's one of them and doesn't make you

2261
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 2: a bad person, just like you know, a polarizing guy.

2262
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 2: I think another polarizing person in the world of sports

2263
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 2: has to be Deon Sanders. You know Colorado football is

2264
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 2: the coach there. That school has gotten more pr more press,

2265
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:20,680
Speaker 2: more conversation, more attention for their football program. Ever, I

2266
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 2: think ever since Dion took off a good bit or indifferent.

2267
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 2: That's true. Yet the team was four and eight last

2268
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 2: year and he creates tons of his own media. This

2269
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:30,839
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. I read this the other day. His family

2270
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,839
Speaker 2: creates tons of their tons of their own media production,

2271
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,640
Speaker 2: with cameras following him and his sons around the facility,

2272
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:40,680
Speaker 2: around the practice fields. It makes for great content. But

2273
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 2: if anybody outside the in house media operation, like maybe

2274
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:47,439
Speaker 2: ESPN or the athletic whatever, they dare to question it,

2275
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 2: they deemed their dissentant. I mean, I never knew that

2276
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 2: that he creates his own media, did you.

2277
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:55,080
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, yeah, I knew that because I follow him

2278
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 5: on Instagram and we're friends, so I know what he's doing.

2279
01:43:57,760 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 4: I know how he's doing it.

2280
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 5: I also know that like Amazon has following them around

2281
01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:05,120
Speaker 5: for another year of Coach Prime. I think the thing

2282
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:07,160
Speaker 5: that's annoying to me, and someone would say that he

2283
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 5: brought it on himself. The amount of articles and conversation

2284
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,800
Speaker 5: about kids jumping in and out of the portal at

2285
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:18,639
Speaker 5: Colorado like that is just a way of the world

2286
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,560
Speaker 5: in college sports. We're not talking about it at nauseum

2287
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 5: when they're doing it at Alabama, when people jumping into

2288
01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 5: portal at Georgia and some of these other.

2289
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 4: Schools, Ohio State. But it is if that it's the.

2290
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 5: End of the world that some guys are jumping into

2291
01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 5: portal at Colorado. Once the players started getting paid nil

2292
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 5: and it became more like pro sports, coaches began to

2293
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 5: treat their players and teams like their pro athletes and

2294
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 5: pro teams, meaning they were asking guys to leave, they

2295
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 5: were asking guys to jump into the portal. In my day,

2296
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 5: they used to ask people, hey, man, we feel like

2297
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 5: it might be time for you to maybe take a

2298
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 5: medical red shirt, or we'll keep on scholarship, but we

2299
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 5: don't have a roster year. That has been a way

2300
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,680
Speaker 5: of the world. And so I don't understand the outrage

2301
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,640
Speaker 5: with so many guys leaving or the guys that are

2302
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 5: leaving Colorado or whatever. It is a transient nature right

2303
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 5: now in college football. And look if Dion wants to

2304
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,599
Speaker 5: move on from people from a team that was four

2305
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 5: and eight, I really don't understand.

2306
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,759
Speaker 4: Why so many people are upset about it to be here.

2307
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 2: Because it's him. I don't think that they concerned what

2308
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 2: the situation with the program. They understand that kids can

2309
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 2: move and should move and will move. But I think

2310
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 2: it's because of him. And I think when he came

2311
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 2: in to Colorado two years ago and it kind.

2312
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:36,120
Speaker 3: Of cleaned house, which again he could do that.

2313
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 2: It's his program and that's what they do now with

2314
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 2: the portal, I think there was a big to do

2315
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 2: and he made a big deal about it, and I

2316
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 2: had no problem with it. You know, I would have

2317
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:47,599
Speaker 2: liked to see him win more games than four and eight,

2318
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:49,840
Speaker 2: and I hope that he does this year, because if

2319
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 2: he has a losing record this year, he's going to

2320
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,280
Speaker 2: get some hell to pay, really a little bit.

2321
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 4: But I think it's I think it's hard.

2322
01:45:56,920 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 5: I don't know how many teams there were one and eleven, Like,

2323
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 5: I don't know how many coaches jump into in a

2324
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,960
Speaker 5: one and eleven situation and they're immediately successful and they

2325
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:09,440
Speaker 5: have a winning record, Like I think that's unrealistic expectations.

2326
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 5: And now I know he brings a lot of that

2327
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 5: on himself because he's so out there and so in

2328
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:18,640
Speaker 5: your face and uses social media in those things. But

2329
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:22,800
Speaker 5: anyone who has seen like programs being built knows that

2330
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 5: Rome isn't built in a day that you don't go

2331
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 5: from one and eleven to nine and three.

2332
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,680
Speaker 4: It is unusual for those.

2333
01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:34,839
Speaker 5: Turnarounds to happen like that, And so I just feel like,

2334
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,799
Speaker 5: like everybody. A lot of people have their own agendas.

2335
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 5: And I say this like, he's far more active on

2336
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 5: social he is far more like chatty and talkative than

2337
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:48,440
Speaker 5: I would personally be comfortable being in that situation.

2338
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 4: But that's also who he is.

2339
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 5: And so with that brings a lot of hate, a

2340
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 5: lot of people slings and arrows and haters and all that,

2341
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 5: and I get that, but to me is just annoying

2342
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:05,840
Speaker 5: just the level with which we see the stuff on

2343
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 5: Colorado when there are these other teams that are doing

2344
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 5: the same stuff. When it comes to the porter on

2345
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 5: people being running in and out or whatever, well.

2346
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,680
Speaker 2: It seees that Dean and his sons now they've gone

2347
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 2: on the offensive right now because his quarterback son, Shaduur

2348
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 2: he went on there, and he tweeted the other day

2349
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 2: at dis at, one of the former teammates mentioned in

2350
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 2: the story, saying that he didn't even remember the kid

2351
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 2: who must have been very admitted best according to Shador

2352
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 2: basically just kid. Yeah, I mean, that's sometimes it's best

2353
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 2: not to do anything. But now he turns around on

2354
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 2: Shador and you're not the kid. I mean, that's the problem.

2355
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 5: And so yeah, so what's interesting about this and I

2356
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 5: wonder how this plays out. Like I mean, we just

2357
01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 5: finished the twenty twenty four draft, twenty twenty five is

2358
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:50,960
Speaker 5: on the horizon, and I'll say this, Shaduor is going

2359
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 5: to rank as one of the top quarterbacks in the

2360
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:55,439
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five class. That said, the class is not

2361
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 5: regarded as strong. But right now, if if we had

2362
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 5: to pause, he would be the number one quarterback probably

2363
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 5: in the twenty twenty five At worse, he's number two.

2364
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:06,839
Speaker 5: People that talk about Carson back from Georgia. We'll see,

2365
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 5: but he is in the conversation. So what Shoulder has

2366
01:48:11,439 --> 01:48:16,080
Speaker 5: to worry about is how does his actions on social

2367
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,679
Speaker 5: how does it impact the perception of what he would

2368
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 5: be as a franchise quarterback. There is some debate in

2369
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 5: conversation about Spencer Ratler. A lot of people got upset

2370
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,599
Speaker 5: that Spencer Ratler was perceived to be a certain way

2371
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 5: based on his appearance on QB one, a reality series

2372
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 5: when he was in high school. Well, in meeting rooms,

2373
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 5: those things do have an impact because when you're trying

2374
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 5: to get a profile of the total player, you dig

2375
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 5: as far back as high.

2376
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 4: School and middle school.

2377
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 5: When you talk to people to kind of get a

2378
01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:48,400
Speaker 5: sense of who is this player?

2379
01:48:48,439 --> 01:48:49,360
Speaker 4: Who we bring it in.

2380
01:48:49,920 --> 01:48:54,479
Speaker 5: Shaudur's activity on social media will rub some evaluators the

2381
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 5: wrong way simply because then I used to having a

2382
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 5: quarterback that attacks like that in social media. Like you

2383
01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:04,759
Speaker 5: got to remember, this generation grew up on social media.

2384
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,560
Speaker 5: They grew up going back and forth and answering and responding.

2385
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:12,440
Speaker 5: That's not how the older generation of scouts and evaluators

2386
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 5: got down. So it will be interesting how much all

2387
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:20,679
Speaker 5: of this chatter from r Duer about your will impact

2388
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:24,879
Speaker 5: his stock when people do the evaluation and it extends

2389
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:28,080
Speaker 5: beyond the playing, it becomes about the person and what

2390
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 5: that person will bring as a franchise quarterback.

2391
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:31,719
Speaker 2: But he's defending his dad.

2392
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 5: I think that's the oh he is he is, but

2393
01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 5: all of that stuff, so like when we think about that,

2394
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 5: not only defending the dad in tweets, right, because we

2395
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 5: all scrub or we all evaluate every prospect's tweets. When

2396
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:46,000
Speaker 5: you're working for a team, that's part of what the

2397
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 5: team will do. They'll look and see, are there any

2398
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,600
Speaker 5: things that you're worried about? Is there a pattern of

2399
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 5: behavior that you're concerned about? Any of that stuff? The

2400
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 5: other stuff that goes along with him, right like the

2401
01:49:56,080 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 5: watch celebration, the way that he engages and maybe teases

2402
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 5: and taunts opponents, pregame, the way that he deals with

2403
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:06,760
Speaker 5: the fans, and all that. So when you're taking on

2404
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:09,200
Speaker 5: a quarterback, and remember the rules for the quarterback are

2405
01:50:09,240 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 5: a little different than anybody else, you're expecting the quarterback

2406
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:14,759
Speaker 5: to be the face of the franchise. There is something

2407
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 5: about him being presidential because outside of the general manager

2408
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 5: of the head coach, the quarterback is the biggest face,

2409
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 5: the most impactful player on the team when it comes

2410
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 5: to the media and everything else. It's going to be

2411
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 5: an interesting conversation and a wild ride when we dig

2412
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 5: down into Shador Sanders and what he could be outside

2413
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 5: of his playing skills, more so his leadership ability and

2414
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:38,519
Speaker 5: his ability to represent the franchise. Because remember the conversation

2415
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 5: that we had about Kaylen Williams. It didn't end up

2416
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:44,880
Speaker 5: changing anything, but just think about the perception about him saying, oh,

2417
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 5: I want to go home and play caught Up with

2418
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,080
Speaker 5: my dog, or I'm a Corinda stands with my moms.

2419
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 5: It look perception and reality.

2420
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 4: It does have an impact, no doubt about that.

01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 11: In For as much as it's been all doom and

2455
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:50,720
Speaker 11: gloom for the Athletics last year in Oakland before going

2456
01:52:50,760 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 11: to Sacramento and absolutely no hope of contention, but they're

2457
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:57,080
Speaker 11: five hundred right now. They're seventeen and seventeen, including nine

2458
01:52:57,120 --> 01:53:01,160
Speaker 11: to nine at the decrepit Oakland Coliseum and in the

2459
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 11: exact opposite game, the Pirates shut out the Rockies won

2460
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 11: nothing in Pittsburgh.

2461
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Thanks, keV, have a great day,

2462
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,679
Speaker 2: Thanks for all you do. And right now he's Bucky

2463
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 2: Brooks on Andy Furman. We have Fox Sports Sunday at

2464
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. And her legacy may be shaped off

2465
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:17,519
Speaker 2: the court. We'll explain that in just about a minute.

2466
01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:19,800
Speaker 2: We got the blame game coming up in about four

2467
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 2: or five minutes. For now, let's check on this. We'll

2468
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,559
Speaker 2: just touch on this for a little bit, because Bucky,

2469
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 2: you're involved a little bit with this. Talk about Caitlin Clark.

2470
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:29,680
Speaker 2: For all her stats, for all the records she'd done,

2471
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:31,680
Speaker 2: for all the attendants, for all the triumphs, for the

2472
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:34,639
Speaker 2: growth of the game of women's basketball, her greatest legacy

2473
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:36,879
Speaker 2: may be off the basketball court. You're gonna say, huh,

2474
01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:37,400
Speaker 2: how's that?

2475
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 14: Well?

2476
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 2: The WNBA flies commercial and the Indiana Fever Caitlyn's team,

2477
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 2: there was a mob scene in the Dallas Airport Friday

2478
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 2: night when the team arrived for a pregame preseason game.

2479
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 2: She has its security guards to know doubt about that.

2480
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 2: But they need to fly charter, and they probably will.

2481
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:55,640
Speaker 2: I would say thanks to her someday. I know that

2482
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:57,720
Speaker 2: when you were in the NFL, you flew charter, right,

2483
01:53:57,760 --> 01:54:00,439
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. She was at Iowa, she flew charter,

2484
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:02,839
Speaker 2: and now she's going through the pros and they fly commercial.

2485
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine a professional player in sports getting on

2486
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 2: a commercial flight having to sit in the back with

2487
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:12,160
Speaker 2: a crying baby in front of them. I mean, that's

2488
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:14,480
Speaker 2: just the way it's gonna be, right, that's commercial.

2489
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an expense though, and you have to remember,

2490
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 5: like the WNBA is operating in a different budget than

2491
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 5: NBA teams and even some of the top college teams.

2492
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:29,639
Speaker 5: And when you're thinking about flying, so we're talking about

2493
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:34,280
Speaker 5: chartering your flight, well, I think they're fifteen ladies on

2494
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 5: the team plus staff members. They may push it up

2495
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 5: to twenty five. I mean, that's a big expense for

2496
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 5: only twenty five people flying on a plane and ownership

2497
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 5: and everyone has to be on board with that expense

2498
01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:49,240
Speaker 5: and having many games that is a year.

2499
01:54:50,480 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 4: You got to write that in the books.

2500
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:54,920
Speaker 5: And so I think it's more of a budgetary thing

2501
01:54:55,120 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 5: than anything else. But you're right with Caitlin Clark and

2502
01:54:57,800 --> 01:55:01,320
Speaker 5: some of the stuff that she is having to deal with. Yeah,

2503
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 5: it's it's probably gonna be a bigger thing where you

2504
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 5: have to investigate it and maybe make the move to

2505
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 5: charter places.

2506
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:10,960
Speaker 2: It will have a commercial and I hate to say it,

2507
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 2: I hope it happens before that's an incident.

2508
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 3: That's that's what I'm saying. It will happen. There's no doubt.

2509
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 2: And more than that, I do believe the ownership of

2510
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 2: the New York Liberty. That ownership said they want to

2511
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:23,040
Speaker 2: fly commercial, but I mean a charter. But I don't

2512
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 2: think the league would permit them because it would be

2513
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:26,200
Speaker 2: an advantage that they would have it.

2514
01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 5: Because everyone everyone, everyone doesn't have deep pockets like that,

2515
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 5: so that that might be an issue, like everybody doesn't

2516
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:36,480
Speaker 5: have everybody doesn't have the money to be able to

2517
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:39,040
Speaker 5: do it like they are able to do it, which

2518
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 5: kind of sounds crazy.

2519
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:44,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's that's that's a part of it.

2520
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 2: You're right, I think it will eventually happen. I'll thank

2521
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 2: Kayla Clark for that.

2522
01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 4: The deal.

2523
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure that.

2524
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:50,400
Speaker 4: All right.

2525
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:53,480
Speaker 2: We move on. Bucky brooks Andy Furrman, of course, get

2526
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 2: the blood boiling. Get it boiling right now?

2527
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 10: Why?

2528
01:55:55,720 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 2: Because they're playing game. It's freaking next. Okay, the blame

2529
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 2: game coming up right around the bend. It's about eleven

2530

Speaker 2: the hour, right now, that will be nine o'clock on

01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 2: the East coast. Ryan Hollins and Mike harmon the Swollen Dome.

2533
01:56:09,680 --> 01:56:11,360
Speaker 2: They'll join you. So keep it right here on Fox

2534
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:14,080
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. We're live from the Tyrock dot Com studio.

2535
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 2: Before we get to the blame game, got to thank

2536
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 2: our wonderful crew, Kevin. Why would all the sports updates?

2537
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 2: Bottom of the hour? Mark Ramsey at the controls and

2538
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 2: of course the.

2539
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 3: Imn our leader.

2540
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 2: But right now, let's play the blame game.

2541
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,960
Speaker 1: It's all your fault. No, it's your fault.

2542
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:33,840
Speaker 2: What is all your fault?

2543
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 3: Maybe it's everyone's fault.

2544
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 2: Who knows the liar?

2545
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 1: That's why there's.

2546
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:41,839
Speaker 7: The blame game, the blame game. Let's figure out.

2547
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:42,360
Speaker 4: Who to blame.

2548
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 15: Go ahead, here's the all right, all right, it's me next,

2549
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 15: So blame game. Yes, starting off, injuries are a part

2550
01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:54,160
Speaker 15: of the game, but this year's NBA playoffs have been

2551
01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 15: pretty unreal. Yannis por Zingis Anthony Edwards, Zion Williams and

2552
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 15: Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, Damian Lillard, Jimmy Butler, it can

2553
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:01,200
Speaker 15: go on.

2554
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 12: Who do you blame? Andy?

2555
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:05,120
Speaker 2: I tell you what. The league plays too many games.

2556
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 2: I said it from day one. Too many teams that are

2557
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:08,839
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, they play too many games.

2558
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 3: And these series.

2559
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,040
Speaker 2: Right now should be three out of five until they

2560
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:15,080
Speaker 2: get to the finals of the division. That's what they

2561
01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:17,440
Speaker 2: gotta do. Stop it already. I know money is the

2562
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 2: driving force, but you're killing these guys. I mean you

2563
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:23,919
Speaker 2: really are in season tournaments as well. Stop it already.

2564
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:27,480
Speaker 2: We want to see good competitive basketball with the best

2565
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:30,720
Speaker 2: possible players. I miss Jimmy Butler. I like the Celtics,

2566
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 2: but it would have been a better series. Jimmy Butler

2567
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:33,760
Speaker 2: would have played.

2568
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 3: Stop it.

2569
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:35,800
Speaker 12: What about you, Bucky.

2570
01:57:36,840 --> 01:57:39,880
Speaker 5: I think load management has actually been a problem. I

2571
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 5: think what happens is when guys were playing more, they

2572
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 5: got used, their bodies were conditioned to be able to

2573
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:47,040
Speaker 5: do it. Because they don't play as much, they break

2574
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 5: down when they have to have a heavy workload. That's

2575
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 5: why we're seeing them break down into postseason because they

2576
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:54,000
Speaker 5: don't know how to turn it up because they've been

2577
01:57:54,360 --> 01:57:56,360
Speaker 5: chilling for most of the rest of the season.

2578
01:57:56,560 --> 01:58:01,840
Speaker 15: Interesting, Lionel Messi recorded fiveists on Saturday Night, which actually

2579
01:58:01,880 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 15: broke the MLS record for assists in a single game. Bucky,

2580
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 15: who do you blame?

2581
01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 5: I blame the defense because the focus on Messi so

2582
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 5: much that they don't respect his ability to take it away,

2583
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 5: to dish it off, and so because there's so much attention,

2584
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:21,000
Speaker 5: so much focus on him always getting to his left leg,

2585
01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:23,600
Speaker 5: sometimes you fall asleep at the whill. Give him credit

2586
01:58:23,600 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 5: for being willing to pass it off to his teammates

2587
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:25,920
Speaker 5: and trust him.

2588
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:26,320
Speaker 12: Andy.

2589
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 2: Not only defenders fear Messi. They're in awe of this guy.

2590
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,160
Speaker 2: They'd rather get his jersey and get it signed than

2591
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 2: play up against the Really, that's what it is. I've

2592
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:38,720
Speaker 2: seen that on the field when I was working in soccer.

2593
01:58:38,880 --> 01:58:41,600
Speaker 2: They did that with Georgie Best. May he rest in peace.

2594
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 2: George Best was the greatest. I love George Best, but

2595
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:46,200
Speaker 2: the defenders they would just look at him and watch

2596
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:48,440
Speaker 2: him in awe and play the game.

2597
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:49,560
Speaker 3: Play the game.

2598
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 2: He's a soccer player, a great soccer player, but it

2599
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 2: can't be defended, and you don't.

2600
01:58:53,880 --> 01:58:56,280
Speaker 15: Do it Sticking to the theme of soccer here, the

2601
01:58:56,320 --> 01:58:59,800
Speaker 15: Philadelphia Union Soccer Club just signed a fourteen year old

2602
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:04,440
Speaker 15: Haven Sullivan Cobvin Sullivan. I apologize if I'm mispronouncing that, but, uh, Bucky,

2603
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 15: who do you blame?

2604
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 4: Hesigned a fourteen year old?

2605
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 12: A fourteen year old?

2606
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 5: Well, I blame look, I blame in fact, the Scalts

2607
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 5: are always looking and I worry about this. I worry

2608
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 5: about this kid becoming Freddie Dude. You remember Freddy du

2609
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:20,120
Speaker 5: who went to the Washington UH franchise way back when

2610
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:22,840
Speaker 5: MLS had first started, and he never amounted to what

2611
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:24,480
Speaker 5: we thought he was going to be. I think that's

2612
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:26,640
Speaker 5: too young to put a player in the pros.

2613
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:28,880
Speaker 4: I don't like this. I blame the general manager. I

2614
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:30,560
Speaker 4: think he needs out of line. I think they need

2615
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 4: to scale it back. Fourteen is way too young to play.

2616
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 3: You know who I blame.

2617
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 2: I blame my good friend Donnie Garber, the commissioner of MLS.

2618
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 1: Stop it.

2619
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 3: You gotta put a stop to it.

2620
01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 2: And why don't I say, My good friend Donnie Garber

2621
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 2: and I went to summer camp together.

2622
01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:45,000
Speaker 3: We went to Timberlake.

2623
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 2: Camp in Shandaka, New York, and we were in the

2624
01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:49,280
Speaker 2: same bunk. We were in the same bunk. We were

2625
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:52,480
Speaker 2: bunk mates. So don Garber my good friend. Maybe he'll

2626
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:55,040
Speaker 2: gone with some Sunday. You're a commissioner in the leagues.

2627
01:59:55,080 --> 01:59:58,320
Speaker 2: Put a stop to it. It's not right what message

2628
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 2: you're sending out there. Fourteen year old with contracts. Stop it,

2629
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 2: Donnie please.

2630
02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 15: JJ Reddick has been named as a potential candidate to

2631
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,120
Speaker 15: replace Darvin Ham as the Lakers head coach.

2632
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 12: Andy, who do you blame?

2633
02:00:11,840 --> 02:00:12,160
Speaker 2: You know what?

2634
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:15,000
Speaker 3: I blamed le Well, you know what, blamed Lebron because

2635
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:15,879
Speaker 3: Lebron's gonna.

2636
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:16,120
Speaker 4: Pick the coach.

2637
02:00:16,160 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 2: I mean, whoever Lebron wants to coach, that's going to

2638
02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:19,080
Speaker 2: be the coach.

2639
02:00:19,120 --> 02:00:20,560
Speaker 3: They're going to make him play a coach.

2640
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 2: Bill Russell was to player coach, make him play a

2641
02:00:23,120 --> 02:00:25,120
Speaker 2: coach this way us don't want to blame, but maybe

2642
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:25,680
Speaker 2: he doesn't want.

2643
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 3: To take the heat. But that's what it's all about.

2644
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 12: Fucky.

2645
02:00:29,560 --> 02:00:32,240
Speaker 5: I actually blame JJ Reddy because he's too good at

2646
02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:34,000
Speaker 5: what he does. I think he's one of the best

2647
02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 5: X and OS guys on TV. I think his insightful

2648
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:40,080
Speaker 5: podcast has also changed the way people view his intelligence.

2649
02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:42,440
Speaker 5: Because of that, I think people are captivated by the

2650
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:43,960
Speaker 5: possibility of him being a head coach.

2651
02:00:44,480 --> 02:00:47,800
Speaker 12: M all right, that's gonna do it today.

2652
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Really, no more. That's okay, that's fine with me. You

2653
02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:52,960
Speaker 2: like that he had a good time. Did you have

2654
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:53,760
Speaker 2: a good day today?

2655
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:54,520
Speaker 12: Did you know?

2656
02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 4: I mean, he's great.

2657
02:00:56,200 --> 02:00:57,280
Speaker 12: I had a great time.

2658
02:00:57,840 --> 02:00:58,000
Speaker 4: You know.

2659
02:00:58,040 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 12: We could squeeze another one in there, but I know

2660
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:01,080
Speaker 12: we're crunched for time.

2661
02:01:01,200 --> 02:01:04,480
Speaker 2: So all right, Ali man, be good, have a great day.

2662
