15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: just a quick I gotta give this guy a shout out. UM.

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: So uh, you guys know, um, pre quarantine, I was

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: pretty active out there, right. I was playing basketball multiple

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: times a week. I'm lifting, I'm putting nerdy videos on Instagram.

19
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: And that kind of stopped and I hadn't played basketball

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: in a while started to play a little bit here

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: during the last few months outdoors. Obviously we're safe smart um,

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: and we're playing yesterday and there's a new dad joins,

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: a guy I know friendly, but he hadn't played in

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: a while. He's active, he uh runs, he's in great shape,

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: he's an athlete. He he plays well. And in our

26
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: fourth game, two want to All of a sudden, I

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: look over and he's like, oh, I felt like somebody

28
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: kicked me. Oh everybody kind of got dispirited. And instantly

29
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: he's like, I think it's my achilles. And my heart

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: just sank for the guy, and I was devastated. I

31
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: was absolutely crestfallen for the dude. And like, I was

32
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: in a bummer mood last night and I'm trying to

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: put together the radio show. We've got some good ideas.

34
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Gavite texting me we got a potentially huge guest here.

35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: At nine am, the guy told me via text, just

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: remind me in the morning. I was like, all right,

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too excited. I'm not gonna

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: give out his name. He's currently an NBA player, so

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: we'll get some really good stuff. Um, And you know,

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: the guy goes to Urgent Care and they get fitted

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: for the boot and they're like, yeah, we think it's

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: an achilles. Will give you an m R I later

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: this week, and another guy who was playing was like, man,

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for him. I would rather get

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: COVID than tear my achilles. And I had to let

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: that think. I'm like, I know, COVID super dangerous. It's

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: killed like nearly three people. But in our age group,

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, uh, we're we have a much better chance

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: and going down with an achilles. Hashtag dad life. It's

50
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: it's like a year if Clay Thompson and Kurt Kevin

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: durand some of the best athletes in the world got

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: got a missy year of the NBA. What's it like

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: if you're a dad and it happened. So shout out

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: to my buddy Hope he's uh upbeat, and maybe there's

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: a chance it's not a full tear, it's just like

56
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: a partial or whatever. But be safe out there, people,

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: regardless of what you're doing. All right, at the risk

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: of pushing too much out listen, obviously it's a great

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: four week fourteen in the NFL. I think I counted

60
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: eight or nine road favorites. Those are obviously major dangerous UM,

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: at least historically this year, road teams doing well, there

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: is no home field advantage. We'll get to the games.

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're ranking the games in the NFL

64
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: this week, it's like it's Casey Miami number one, is

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Buffalo number one, Baltimore Cleveland. I mean, there's really

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: good games in the NFL. Unfortunately, not the same in

67
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: college Michigan Ohio State will not happen. That just sucks.

68
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, you know, college football has a

69
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: rough weekend. I guess I've lost track. You know, I

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: would say I will be in here soon, and um,

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: we could talk about whatever is left of the college

72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: football slate. But honestly, the biggest story in sports right

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: now is in the NBA, and I'm gonna back into it,

74
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: um with a little story time thing with storytime with

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: j mac Um. You guys don't have two kids, and

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: we have grappled with screen time and limiting it for

77
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: our kids since COVID happened. And I went down to

78
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl back in January, and I was lucky enough,

79
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: you know, I went to one of these gifting suites

80
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: and they gave me an Xbox. I was like, oh,

81
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: this is amazing, thank you. And we didn't even open

82
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: it in January or February, right March didn't open it.

83
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do we need to open an Xbox for.

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: We'll wait for the kids maybe in the summer, and

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: then COVID hits and okay, well we're home. There's like

86
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: no sports going out. Let's open the xbox. We're playing

87
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: some video gamest it. Instantly we're like, all right, we'll

88
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: do an hour tops daily and my daughter is like

89
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: not that interest in. My son's like I like it. Yeah.

90
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: We got a couple of games, but then school was

91
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: remote learning and we had to get iPads. So we

92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: quickly got iPads because there's gonna be a run on

93
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: iPads every kid's home. We hadn't had their own iPads.

94
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: A lot of other their friends had their own iPads

95
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: with games. Instantly, we limit it and say, okay, first

96
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: only on weekends for the iPads. Okay, and summer comes, okay,

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: we'll do an hour a day. You see what we're

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: doing here. We're building up to an NBA story that

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: really applies to your children and discipline school year starts.

100
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: The kids are at school, they do their homework at school,

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: their pod or what have you. Um, not physical, although, um,

102
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: that's coming hopefully. And then they get home. Granted they

103
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: do their chores, we get them out in the sunlight,

104
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: doing some exercise, getting out of the house. Physical. Okay,

105
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: you can have now ninety minutes a day on the screen.

106
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: And we're getting to the point where it's cold now

107
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: you can't go outside as long. The trips to the

108
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: beach are far less frequent. And the kids are done,

109
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, after dinner they're like, hey, could I have

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of extra screen time? Dad? Come on please?

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: And they know I'm the weak one. And again, you

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: guys out there listening, you've got to hold firm on

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: this stuff. I say, have you done your chores? Why

114
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: don't you go hand back? I don't know if anybody

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: uses the term handback, but like the hand vacuum under

116
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: the dinner table. Okay, do this? Did you get your

117
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: school bag ready for tomorrow? You do all that? Fine,

118
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: you could have an extra fifteen minutes. But you see

119
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: what we're doing. We're building up. We're not opening the floodgates, folks.

120
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: For years, the Houston Rockets organization has enabled James Harden

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: and done the total opposite of what you're supposed to

122
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: do with your kids. Okay, once they traded for Harden

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: and realized they got a start. So, James, do you

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: like Kevin McHale? Do you want him as coach? Now?

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Let's get someone else in here. Okay? Do you want

126
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: Mike D'Antoni, We can get him. Yeah, let's get Mike D'Antoni.

127
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: What do you think of Dwight Howard? Should we move

128
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: on from Dwight Howard? Should we keep him? Let's move

129
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: on right out and see it. Do you want Chris

130
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Paul We can get Chris Paul? Yeah, yeah, let's do that.

131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: You want Russell Westbrook? Well, first of all, do you

132
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: want Chris Paul out? Yeah? Let's you know that was fun,

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: but I can't handle him. Okay, do you want Russell Westbrook? Yeah,

134
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: let's do that. How to go with rust? No? No, no.

135
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 1: The Houston Rockets and this is not just a Darryl

136
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Morey thing. This is not just a Mike D'Antoni thing.

137
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: This is not just an ownership thing. They have enabled

138
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Harden and they let him run the show last six years.

139
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Whatever James Harden wanted, James Harden got. And I'm not

140
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: saying Morey was acquiescing, but more he's a creative guy.

141
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: He can look it ways to get them better, try

142
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: new things. And now D'Antoni is gone, and now Darryl

143
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: Morey's gone, and they listened to Harden and rest Brooks

144
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: gone and now they say, okay, James down, what what

145
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: are we doing? I think I want to be traded.

146
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Get me out of it, you know. And it's like,

147
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: what we have done everything you wanted for the last

148
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: how many years has you been there? Seven eight years?

149
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: We're not trading you. Oh all right, I'm not gonna

150
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: show up and I'm gonna go party with little little Baby,

151
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: whoever that is. I I'm confused with all the Lills.

152
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: There's just too many of them. The Baby rock Star,

153
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: I do like that song. Um, I don't know the

154
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: dif between a little baby and the baby. I'm I'm

155
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: sounding like an idiot now. But whatever James Harden asked

156
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: for he got. James Harden told the franchise jump and

157
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: everybody in the front office, and how high would you

158
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: like us to jump? Mr? Harden? And now James Harden

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: tells them get me out of here, and they say,

160
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: WHOA hold the phone, James Harden, we can't go there,

161
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: and it's just they did it backwards. I get it.

162
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: You've got to acquiesce a little bit to a superstar.

163
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Think about Lebron when he went to Miami. Pat Riley

164
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: held firm. It was the Lebron beef with Stroll suposed early.

165
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: And when you hold firm and you figure it out,

166
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: which is what we're supposed to do as adults, it

167
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: works out great works it can work out. And what

168
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: we've seen outside of the Lebron example, what the heat was,

169
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: Kauai and San Antonio didn't really work out that well.

170
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler in Minnesota hasn't worked out that well. Like teams,

171
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a fine line that you've got a toe between.

172
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Hey man, I want to keep this guy happy and

173
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: make him bring in other superstars, and I'm gonna give

174
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: him everything so he stays, and then oh, he's gonna

175
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: turn on us and he wants out, and folks, I

176
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: read an article where the Rockets, I guess a couple

177
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, said we're willing to get uncomfortable, and

178
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: folks James Harden has taken that to heart. I'm sure

179
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: you guys have seen the images of him showing up

180
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: at Rockets training camp. I mean, he looks like he's

181
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: been on a bender. And I'm not saying he's been,

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, using hardcore or anything, but he's been partying.

183
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. I guess he has to

184
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: have six negative tests before he can actually be part

185
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: of the team in camp. And what does he want.

186
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be part of the team, like

187
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere, and that is a major issue

188
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA right now, like where are the Rockets?

189
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: To me? Personally, I would I would just rip that

190
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: cord and prevent it from getting ugly, because you know

191
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: what's next. He's going to the Kyrie Kyrie Irving playbook. Well,

192
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: I got a knee issue. I think I might have

193
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: to have surgery to clean it up. I'm gonna be

194
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: out and I'll ask you guys, what's James Harden's trade

195
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: value coming off the surgery of any kind, even if

196
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: it's a little clean up procedure. It's like, Wow, is

197
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: he gonna be thirty five point in game Harden? Or

198
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: is he thirty one year old James Harden who has

199
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: consistently flamed out in the playoffs and um now is

200
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: getting up there in age and now has to fall

201
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: in line to a brand new system. And folks, he's

202
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: not the only drama king in the NBA. And I

203
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta say thank you James Harden and Kyrie

204
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: Irving for the drama because as I look at college

205
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: football today, it's like, oh, what's Coastal Carolina up to? Like, oh, okay,

206
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: that's where we are in college football? Like I don't know, Gavin,

207
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: we have we have We mentioned the word Heisman Trophy

208
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: twice this college football season. Yeah, no, no, we haven't. Listen.

209
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: And I love college football. You guys know I talked

210
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: about when I got to FS one, I said, why

211
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: don't we do college football gambling picks videos? We did

212
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: those for four years. This year we're not doing it.

213
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: Like the games, the COVID. It's ugly. It's a bad

214
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: college football season. I'm hoping with the vaccine news, thank

215
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: you very much, great vaccine news yesterday. Um that by

216
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: next summer. Maybe that's a little too ambitious. Um, college

217
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: football is back, fans are back. Um, But In the meantime,

218
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: we get drama and Kyrie Irving, who I guess has

219
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: been watching a lot of Queen's Gambit, a great show

220
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: that I recommend. Kyrie Irving coming out with a chess reference.

221
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Uh calling the media, I guess pawns. I don't know, Keavin.

222
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: I was a little confused. Is it is he calling

223
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: the media pons or anybody who's distracting? He's he's calling

224
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: the media pawns and saying that they're misconstruing his words,

225
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: which for the most part have been taking verbatim right,

226
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: and and a lot of times, you know, we're hearing

227
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: what he's saying, so nobody's twisting what he's saying. You're

228
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: going on a podcast, you're the one ranting and saying, well,

229
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: we don't really need a coach, and now you're playing

230
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: the Oh it's fake news, and uh, they're misconstruing my words.

231
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: They're your words. We took them from podcasts, and there

232
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: were a thing and you know, I remember you guys.

233
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: We had Brian Windhorst on last week and he made

234
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: it sound like, um, there's a reckoning coming. I would

235
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I would probably laugh. If the nets traded hardened. Uh,

236
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: and they gave up Kyrie Irving. I don't think that's

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna happened. But Kyrie has gotten too this weird place

238
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: you're I think the phrases you're never supposed to get

239
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: high off your own supply. And at this point, Kyrie

240
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: Irving is basically listening to whatever yes men or yes women,

241
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: yes people are in his corner, because every time he

242
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: opens his mouth he thinks he's the smartest guy on

243
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: planet Earth. I mean, everything he says like he's it's

244
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: all gone to his head. Oh I don't need the NBA,

245
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: can just walk away. Why are we going to the bubble?

246
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost like on some level he's taking

247
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: this player empowerment thing two levels that he probably shouldn't um.

248
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: And I just I have a couple of friends like

249
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: that who have gotten weird since college. And you know,

250
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: I've been out of college for a little while now,

251
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: so I don't fortunately don't see them. I communicate over

252
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: text or email, and it's like I don't have to

253
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: see them in the locker room every day. I mean,

254
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: if you had a friend like Kyrie Irving who was

255
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: spewing as much wacky stuff as he is and you

256
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: see that guy daily, It's like, what do you say?

257
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: What do you say to that guy? I know a

258
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: couple of people trust me who are off the deep end,

259
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: and I had to deal with them on a daily basis,

260
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: and you see them and you're just like, given the

261
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: nod and that's about it. That's it. Like you can't

262
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: really have a conversation with someone that wacky. I mean,

263
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving really thinks he's gonna not talk to the

264
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: media all season, and he's like, oh, well, I'm backing

265
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: off that, Like what are you what's the game? What's

266
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: the end game here? Kyrie? Like what are you doing?

267
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: You don't want to coach? Is there gonna be a

268
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: blow up between him and Nash? Him and Durant? I mean, listen,

269
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I know it's the NBA and we're in full NFL mode,

270
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: but thank you NBA for providing us with so much

271
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: drama this week coming up next to year. On Fox

272
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, I keep hearing Aaron Rodgers He's gonna win

273
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: the m v P and six touchdowns and four interceptions,

274
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: and I look around, I'm like, you guys are aware.

275
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes is still breathing right, He is still conscious.

276
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: He's out there playing football, just flinging and around having fun.

277
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers is your m v P. We'll discuss

278
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: that next year on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, this is

279
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: a classic Chris, Thank you. I know I discussed this

280
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: last week, but I'm telling you, I just like hearing

281
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Christmas music in the house, and I think Gavin hit

282
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: on it early that in a year where where we

283
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: all need some sense of normalcy, like Christmas music has that,

284
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, Um, Gavin, I got a new show for

286
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: know the NFL has been wacky, but we're finding new shows.

00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, watching the Challenge? Were you ever watching the

303
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: Challenge on MTV? Okay, what is that? It's a reality show.

304
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: It's been on for about twenty years of real world

305
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: road but it's still entertaining. This is weird. I never

306
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: got into any of those really, I don't know what.

307
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was like. Yeah, I just

308
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: you know what though, when there was no sports on

309
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: for all that time, the Challenge was on and it

310
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: felt like an actual sport like that you were watching

311
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: week by week. So, but the participants are what people

312
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: from real world different reality shows. UM, mostly from MTV shows. Uh,

313
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: there are some from Big Brother which is on CBS,

314
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: or Survivor UM. But we're also in like a fantasy

315
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: pool about it, so we have you get fantasy points

316
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: if if your person cries or different things like what

317
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: it's really fun. It's hard, you know, at some point

318
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do a deep dive into why

319
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: I do not like any reality TV. I remember watching

320
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: the first season of the Bachelor, because why not. It's

321
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: thirty girls throwing themselves at one guy. Like that's every

322
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: guys three, right, I mean, that's it's cool. Um, I

323
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: just something about reality TV. I don't know, I didn't

324
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: like it. I will say this the undoing, regardless of

325
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: what you think about Nicole Kidman or all the plastic

326
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: surgery she may or may not have had, she's a

327
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: great actress in this. Oh my gosh. It was actually

328
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: the first thing I've ever seen from Hugh Grant. I've

329
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: never seen him act before. I'm not kidding. Okay, so

330
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: that was the movie that I told my girlfriend said,

331
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: I think I watched that with my mom on a

332
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: ski trip and I was like twelve because I got hurt.

333
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: I hurt my tailbone and I had to stay in

334
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: the cabin with her and we watched notting Hill. But anyway,

335
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: he's terrific in it, and it's one of those shows

336
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: like True Detective. It makes you you're guessing everyone yet

337
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: to pause in a couple of times, and and UM,

338
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm definitely one of these let's pause and let's talk

339
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: through it. Um. And she she doesn't love that. She's like,

340
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: let's play it, let's see what happening that we're in

341
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: the same situation. Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely I will pose

342
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: it to give my take on what he just said.

343
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is shocking for a guy who was

344
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: a three hours solo radio show. But I am talking

345
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: the movie theater guy, whisper in the movie theater, like

346
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I I I want to talk to somebody about what's

347
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: going on. Wait, sec, did this happen? Wait? What? Not loudly,

348
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: but whisper guy. Yes, I know. I'm sure everybody's totally

349
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: stunned at that. Um, it was there anything? Now? All right,

350
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: let's get to the NFL. Um Pat Mahomes versus Rogers

351
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: for m VP. Oh, there was one other, so Gavin

352
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: Week thirteen in the NFL, I'm in a survivor pool.

353
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: There's there was three sixty people. I'm not gonna say

354
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: what the buy in is, but you guys can do

355
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: the math. The pool was sixteen dollars and you know

356
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: that's a nice jug of money. And um, I was

357
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the final thirty six and all last week

358
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: I totally diagnosed two games perfectly, Raiders Jets and Minnesota Jacksonville.

359
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: I knew both of the favorites would struggle, and I

360
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: thought one of those two is gonna lose. I said,

361
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: you know what, I think the move is just to

362
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: play it safe and take Seattle because the following week

363
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna take Seattle. I'll take Tennessee against Jacksonville. I've

364
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: won a couple of survivor pools. It's uh, it's a

365
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: nice victory, obviously, and I'm into looking at the schedule

366
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: and Gavin I was, um, let's just say, really really

367
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: ticked off. Half the league had Minnesota against Jacksonville. Minnesota

368
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: trail for a lot of that game, should have lost

369
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: in overtime, ended up winning, and like a third had

370
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: the Raiders and we all know how they pulled it

371
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: out with five seconds left. And like a handful of

372
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: people had Seattle and I was one of them, and

373
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I was so ticked that I had diagnosed it perfectly.

374
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: One of those two should have lost, and I did not.

375
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: I knew Seattle would struggle because that's what they do,

376
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: but to lose. Like even when Rutt's got the ball

377
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: at the end, I thought, oh, well it's Russ Wilson.

378
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: We got this. That's still problem and it's just, oh

379
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, what just and I was just a wreck.

380
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson will not win the m v P. Obviously,

381
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: he's out of it. So funny for the first half

382
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: of the season, Russ has never got an m v P.

383
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: For He's got this is year Like, stop, okay, stop it,

384
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: rus So, yeah, yeah, you haven't torn that up yet.

385
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be my homes over Rodgers. A lot of

386
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: people think Aaron Rodgers should be it. I just I

387
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: watched that Green Bay team and Rogers has been unbelievable. Um,

388
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: he is in a dome this weekend. I've bet on

389
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: him already. He has sixteen touchdowns I'm sorry, fourteen touchdowns

390
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: in one interception in dome games this weekend this season.

391
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: He's just like without the elements, he's been incredible. Ah,

392
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: he's got an elite receiver in Davante Adams. Um, they

393
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: have a stacked offense and it's weird how they've gotten

394
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: better when McCarthy left and La Fleur came in. I

395
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: don't know if they're the most complete team in the NFL.

396
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: But Aaron Rodgers is out for blood. It's tough betting

397
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: against them. And I did last weekend with the Eagles

398
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and it felt good because Aaron Rodgers, it's almost he

399
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: wants the m v P inside the tent. He's throwing

400
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: all the time. Like if you have if you're playing

401
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams in fantasy, you know, in the playoffs, good luck, Um,

402
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is essentially getting the first two targets, uh,

403
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: in the in the in the ten yard line every time.

404
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: And Adams eting a monster year. Rogers actively throwing when

405
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: you think like, oh they're up a lot, they'll just

406
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: run the ball like he's throwing constantly. Uh. And he's

407
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: had a great season. But when you watch Pat Mahomes,

408
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: you're like, that's the best player in the NFL, Like

409
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. And not to come back

410
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: to the NBA again, But I mean, is Aaron Rodgers

411
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: better than Pat Mahomes? No for his career has he been? Yeah?

412
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes is in his third year as a starter.

413
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: But if you've got one game right now, you're picking

414
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. Are you not the guy's all he does

415
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: is win There eleven and one. Mahomess numbers uh right

416
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: there with with Rogers, I don't see what's the edge

417
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: that I'm missing, Gavin that Rogers has over Mahomes. Is

418
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: it simply cumulative touchdown passes that he has a few more?

419
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: Is at all? I think people look at the Chiefs

420
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: as well. He has an elite head coach, he has

421
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: elite talent around him and Rogers. You do have Davontae Adams,

422
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, and look, you have Aaron Jones. To anyone

423
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: who plays fantasy knows how good he's been. But I

424
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: think that you know, the jury still out on his

425
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: head coach, and it just doesn't seem as as locked

426
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: in for him. So it seems like he's doing more.

427
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: He's actually more valuable, right but I mean, who are

428
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: you picking him? One game? Right now? So in games

429
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs don't play the Raiders? Okay? Um, Pat

430
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes has twenty seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. He has

431
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: two picks this here against the Raiders. That's it. The

432
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: rest of the NFL. Seven touchdowns, zero interceptions. The guy

433
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. The crazy thing is too, is he does

434
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: all this without a running game. They don't use Clyde

435
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: Edwards Lair And I gotta ask what happened to him

436
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: last week? I did not I didn't watch Sunday Night

437
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: Football at all. That was like, We're going to start

438
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: a show. This game stinks, huge spread. I don't have

439
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: money on it. Um. And then I'm checking the box

440
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: score while we're watching TV and it's like, wait, where's

441
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: Edward Hilaire? What happened? Yes, so they made him active,

442
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: but he did have an illness all week. Wasn't COVID related,

443
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: but he was on the sideline just didn't play. Um.

444
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: You know, looks like it was kind of a just

445
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: an illness that they wanted to give him the chance

446
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: in case he was feeling better. But when you see illness, Gavin,

447
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: what do you think? I mean? I saw Chase Claypool

448
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: and the injury report this week illness out of practice.

449
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, no Steelers are screwed.

450
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: Of course he played practice Friday. Um, but I'm sorry.

451
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: I gotta give it to Pat Mahomes. Rogers has been great,

452
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: beating up a lot of tomato cans um in the NFC.

453
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: Let's see what Mahomes does against Miami this weekend. Um,

454
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: Miami is very good defensively. And then the following week

455
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: is Saints Chiefs. Maybe a Super Bowl preview. UM, we'll

456
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: see coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio. Do

457
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: you guys believe in the Cleveland Browns? I gotta say

458
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: I did not see seven at the half over Tennessee coming.

459
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone did. But there's still some doubt

460
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of doubt, just that taste. We'll talk

461
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: about that next year. But first, let's go to Isaac

466
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: players on the COVID list this past Monday. Hey, the

467

00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings. In college football, on Friday night, Arizona

00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: State one in Arizona, seventy to seven. It was the

480

00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: Sports Bruce Feldman reported that after last night, Arizona head

00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: say or more on car insurance with Geico go to

491
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: geico dot com called one seven Auto. The only hard

492
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: part figuring out which way is easier. So you guys know,

493
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: I have a daily podcast, um for i Heeart just

494
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: covering all sports and we do a lot of gambling

495
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: on there. And I talked this week about the Michigan

496
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: Jim Harball situation, and uh, big fan of this show,

497
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: Bob and Iowa just reminded me that the Big Ten

498
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: changed the rules for Ohio state. So Gavin, we'll talk

499
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: about that in a second, but I just wanna know,

500
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: so Ohio say, Michigan not happening today, Jim Harbaugh and uh,

501
00:27:53,480 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: Michigan is just COVID disaster. But that's everywhere. UM. I

502
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: still don't understand why Jim Harball would stay in Michigan.

503
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't He's been He's been bad this year. UM.

504
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: The story is they gave him an extension offer, but

505
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: it is significantly less money. The buyout is significantly less,

506
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: but they had to do it for recruiting purposes. Once

507
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: the season ends, Jim Harball can't go in no living

508
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: rooms and and try to sell Michigan when everybody else

509
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: out there's gonna say, oh, he's gone, He's going to

510
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. So the offer is now in Hardball's court.

511
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: He has to say, do I want to take a

512
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: pay cut? Do I think I can turn this around?

513
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: Is everybody else in the big town getting better shots?

514
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: Go back to the NFL? Like what Hardball has got

515
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: a decision to make? Does he try to negotiate with them?

516
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Like it's just a weird situation. It feels like the

517
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: fan base is out. I don't see how the big

518
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: money donors can stomach a big extension. So what is

519
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: this just like a one plus one or two years?

520
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: Like it's just a tough spot. And um, there's a

521
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: lot of chatter that, oh Harbo to look at the Bears.

522
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: Some people even speculating Chris's lions, but that I don't

523
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: see how he stays in the state. That doesn't make

524
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: any sense. I've floated Chargers a lot, Gavin's Chargers. Um,

525
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: I can't see him going somewhere like Jacksonville. Wouldn't it

526
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: be funny if he went to Jacksonville and he got

527
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: justin fields in Ohio State quarterback as this guy, um,

528
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: but from Jim Harbor. We stay in the Big Ten

529
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: briefly before we get to the Cleveland Browns, and like,

530
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Gavin, I'm not too bent out of

531
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: shape that the rules were changed for Ohio State to

532
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. Like, first of all, get to

533
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: the Big Ten title game, but to have a shout

534
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: out the playoff, like this is a weird year, like

535
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: baseball changed rules. Not everybody played the same number of games, right, Um,

536
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 1: they changed the extra inning rule in baseball. Uh, the

537
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: NBA went to a bubble and uh they played eight games.

538
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: There was a play in tournament that's never been done.

539
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: Be for the NFL has moved games to be on Tuesday,

540
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: like they were talking about expanding the playoffs. It feels

541
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: a lot like when people found out that wrestling wasn't

542
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: fake or was fake, Like if that was surprising to you,

543
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: then you know what are you doing here? Like this

544
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: is obvious. It's about money. You're gonna let You're gonna

545
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: want Ohio State. I mean they rate better than any

546
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: other team, you know. I know, Colin read it the

547
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: other day. It was like running through the top ten,

548
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, broadcast games, it was all Ohio State. That's

549
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: where it starts. The bidding war starts at Ohio State. See,

550
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what's cool about the NFL the NBA.

551
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: You need the stars, You really need the marquee cities,

552
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: New York, l A with the biggest audiences. You need

553
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: those guys to deliver. Why do you think the ratings

554
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: are down? Chicago stinks. New York has stunk for almost

555
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: two decades. L A was quite bad before lebron got there.

556
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: And you know NBA's going through a tough stretch with

557
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: the ratings. NFL is I think impervious right to the Giants.

558
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: Jet stink. It doesn't matter. Washington stinks. But we saw

559
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: it in the NFL as well. Look at how look

560
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: at how the Steelers or the Ravens have been treated

561
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: with with COVID stuff. Yeah, that's a good point. But

562
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: the Broncos when they went through all their COVID stuff

563
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: with three quarterbacks that they didn't have a quarterback, they

564
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: still made them play. You don't get the week off,

565
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: You're not getting a bye week, you know, Um. Yeah,

566
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, like it's life isn't fair. It's

567
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: the same thing in sports. It's you know, it's the

568
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: way this world works. Yeah, life is not fair. The

569
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: sooner you guys realize that life just isn't fair, listen,

570
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of crappy things that happen

571
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: out there. It's just not fair. Stinks. Um, But this

572
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: is a billion dollar business and you know the we

573
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: flow to the idea last week. It would be cool

574
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: if they expanded the playoff and b why you got

575
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 1: in and still Cincinnati or coach Carolina, I'm all for that.

576
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: College balls not having that You're not gonna put out

577
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: a playoff game with tons of money at stake and

578
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: it's fifty nine nothing in the third quarter, which is

579
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: maybe what it would be if it were Alabama versus Coastal. Um. Well,

580
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: that's why I say expanded to eight give him a chance, um,

581
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: or just have them have a separate playoff for those teams.

582
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: That's what I would do. Just give a separate post

583
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: season for the group of five schools or the schools

584
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: that you know did well, like Indiana, like like that

585
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: did well. But you know something like that where you're

586
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: still allowing them a post season to prove themselves. But no,

587
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not gonna get You're not gonna go

588
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: up against Alabama or Clemson. You're gonna get crushed. Clemson

589
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: would would be at some point. Now, I again, I

590
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: have I'm I consider myself an underdog. I know I've

591
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: been saying that for like five years. I love the

592
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: idea of those old boys teams playing where every it

593
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: meant everything to them, and the Bull Game not a

594
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: playoff game. The Bull Game meant nothing to like Oklahoma

595
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: or whoever. And Boise was just able to just pull

596
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: out everything out, you know, and do the hook and

597
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: ladder and still is the best game I've ever seen. Yeah,

598
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's what's so cool about Like, that's

599
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: why and the college football just I don't think gets

600
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: that that the potential for the upset. Now, yeah, is

601
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: it more likely that it's gonna be. Yeah, but this

602
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: small chance that somebody goes into that game and pulls

603
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: out every stop you go with the fumble, Rooski, you

604
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: try everything to keep it close and interesting. The idea

605
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: that that could happen, I'm fascinated by that Um, jeez,

606
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: we we got so in the college football we didn't

607
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: even get to the Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Frowns will

608
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: do that next segment to Cleveland Frowns. They're going to

609
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that's a fact. But can they win a

610
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: playoff game or just it's just getting to the playoffs.

611
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: Enough talk about that next year on Fox Sports Radio

612
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: two weeks to go. Just texting with my my brother.

613
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: Do we split this present? What do we do? Did

614
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: you already get something? You know? It's one of those deals.

615
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: Love the holidays, love it. I hope everybody's being safe

616
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: out there and smart and um, we can give you

617
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: some extra spending money this weekend with some picks coming

618
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: up and the top of the hour will do NFL picks.

619
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: T A stops by. Um, we'll have a Jets beat

620
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: writer talk about what happened with Greg Williams last week.

621
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. What number will you wear with the Jets

622
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: next year? Oh? Yeah, baby. Um, I don't know who's

623
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna coach the Jets yet. Um, but I am working

624
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: on a Christmas wish list for my Jets. Uh. And

625
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: then hopefully an NBA player At the top of our

626
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: number three. Gotta check in with him. Hopefully he will

627
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: stop by uh and uh. Fire on all cylinders here,

628
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: all right quickly. Cleveland Browns nine and three positive point differential,

629
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: first time in the playoffs in forever. I think the

630
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: last time they made the playoffs, Like, Instagram did not exist,

631
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: Facebook was maybe on college campuses. YouTube definitely did not exist. Now,

632
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: the last time they want a playoff game, I hadn't

633
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: even to college. Belichick was their coach. I don't even

634
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: know if Gavin had been born. I think you gotta

635
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: go back for the last time they want to playoff game.

636
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Frowns. They're playing in the Factory of Sadness

637
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: Monday night. There will be fans there and they're hosting

638
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens and I think everybody, so, you guys do

639
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: I do a lot of radio show interviews during the week.

640
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: People call me up, Hey, Jason, can you come on

641
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: the show ten minutes gambling? Yeah? Sure, NFL Sure? And

642
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: I always asked them, oh, what games do you like

643
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: to try to figure out, you know, what the public

644
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: is on. Just a general radio host in X City

645
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: and the two teams that most of the radio host like.

646
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: This week Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns now Gavin, Let that

647
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: marinate for a second. Um, the Cleveland Browns are somehow

648
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: not even giving a field goal to the Ravens. And

649
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: this game for me comes down to one thing. I

650
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: like the Browns. I like Stefansky. They're a playoff team.

651
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: I think they can beat the Culture Titans in a

652
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: playoff game, and that's who they probably will face, not Shirtain,

653
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: but um, it's looking like that'll be their matchup. Some

654
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: things could change. And I just hate their match up

655
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: against the Ravens because what did the Titans do very

656
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: poorly get pressure on quarterbacks? I think they got one

657
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: quarterback hit on Baker Mayfield. That's it. No sacks. You

658
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: just can't get to the quarterback. Baker's not going under pressure.

659
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: That's well established in the NFL. He always scrambles to

660
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: one side. And now it's not like he can just

661
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: chuck it up for O b J. He's not even there.

662
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: You got like your second, third, fourth string wide receivers

663
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: with Juice l Andry. And what does Baltimore do their

664
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: number one in blitz percentage. Nobody blitz is more on

665
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: dropbacks than the Baltimore Ravens Now. I know they the

666
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks they haven't gotten pressure. Well, they

667
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: had to do with COVID. It's been a couple of weeks.

668
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: Now they should be able to dial up pressure on

669
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and will he be rattled or will he

670
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: be able to have poise in the pocket. I'll never

671
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: forget this gig. The Browns played the Steelers earlier this

672
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: year and the Browns had one like maybe two or

673
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: three in a row, and Baker had played well, and

674
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: I loaded up on Pittsburgh and I think it was

675
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: the first series that might have been the second. Baker

676
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: drops back to pass, heavy pressure from d J. Watt

677
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: and the blitz, Baker not paying attention, pick six, and

678
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: you could tell, right for that point first quarter it's

679
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: over and it's just snowballed, because once you get behind,

680
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: you kind of can take out the chub hunt aspect

681
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: of the running game. And if Baker's under pressure and

682
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: he's got to throw to win the game, yeah, he

683
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: could do that against the Cincinnatis of the world. He

684
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: could he could beat the Bengals through the air. A

685
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: great game against the Bengals. He can do that to

686
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: an extent against Tennessee four TV passes. But when you

687
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: face a good, blitz happy, pressure filled defense with cornerbacks

688
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: like Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters, you could be in

689
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: some trouble. And I'm not calling for a Baltimore blow

690
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: out on the road, um, but I do believe Baltimore

691
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: wins this game. This is one of one of my

692
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: best bets of the week. Our number two here on

693
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Ladies and gentlemen, it's me Jason McIntyre

697
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: morning out here in Los Angeles. One hour in the books,

698
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: two hours left will do a lot of NFL. Gavin

699
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: just pointing me out to Johnny Manzel, remember that guy

700
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: interview And I went on Instagram and was looking at it. Jeez,

701
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: how sad. But what's fitting is Johnny Football was drafted

702
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: by the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns have a huge game

703
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: this week. We just talked about him, and our next

704
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: guest is a Browns fan. I think he lives in Ohio.

705
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: You know when we do NFL picks all the time,

706
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: t A in the building. What up? What's up, Jason? Yeah,

707
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: big Browns fans and uh Browns fans since the eighties

708
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: and the Bernie Cozar days, and it's been a long

709
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: time since we've had a good team to root for.

710
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: So excited for this matchup. I mean, I I didn't

711
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: ask you about this before, but have you looked at

712
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: this Johnny football interview? I mean, I guess he's trying

713
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: to make some comeback in terms of becoming relevant again

714
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: and doing podcasts and stuff. But man, there was excite

715
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: when you guys drafted him, right, Yeah, I haven't seen

716
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: there in an interview. I'll say I did not want

717
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: him in that draft. Actually, with the brown two first

718
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: round picks. I wanted Mike Evans and Teddy Bridgewater and

719
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: they went with Johnny Mantel, so that a lot of

720
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: people were excited just because of the name and everything.

721
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I kind of kind of had an

722
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: inkling he was wasn't really an NFL quarterback and had

723
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: a lot of off the field issues that you know,

724
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: some knew about and some didn't, And I saw I

725
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: actually knew some things the summer before the season started

726
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: that he was up in Cleveland and you know, no

727
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: people who saw him in certain places, and yeah, I

728
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: just kind of had a feeling that wasn't gonna work out.

729
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: But I hope he turns his life around. Guys a

730
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: party animal. Um, speaking of you guys have a quarterback

731
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He was phenomenal last week d A four

732
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: TVs in the first half. Um, I don't know. We

733
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: just talked about Monday night football. Why don't we start there?

734
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: I I like the Ravens here under three? Um, I

735
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: just uh, we talked about the pressure that Baker has

736
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: struggled with. What is Baltimore do dial up pressure? Number

737
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: one blitz percentage in the league. Um, this is not

738
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: a great Ravens team. They're not awesome. I just think

739
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: in this spot, Uh, it's a little bit of a

740
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Baltimore edge. You any any thoughts on the game or

741
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: a lean Yeah, I mean obviously it's a fan. I

742
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: want to see the Browns win. I would just say,

743
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, objectively, probably the right side is taking Baltimore

744
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: under three. Again, I don't think it's you have a

745
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: huge edge either way. UM, you know, You're right about

746
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: the blitz percentage, and Baker under pressure, he's you know,

747
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: one of the worst in the NFL against pressure. But

748
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: remember it's against pressure, not against the blitz. So they've

749
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: got to get there right And so I think there's

750
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: a really smart coaching staff. Uh Stefanski with the Browns

751
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: has done a really good job of game planning, and

752
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: I think what we'll try to do is try to

753
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: win on first sound. So try to you know, run

754
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: a lot of play actions, get the ball out, get

755
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: get big chunks on first sound so you're not stuck,

756
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, with third and longs, and that's when the

757
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens blitz is really gonna attack Baker.

758
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna do everything that can to

759
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: to alleviate some of that pressure early, early, and down

760
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: in the first half. So we'll see if he does that.

761
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, otherwise, you know, the Ravens they covered against

762
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: the Dallas, but they weren't you know, dominant, and you know,

763
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if Clais Campbell and Brandon Williams in the

764
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: middle of that defense, if they're fully returned from from COVID,

765
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Clay's Campbells talked publicly about how he was

766
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: knocked on his butt. He's a big boy, so you know, look,

767
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: if he's fully healthy, I think, you know, if if

768
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: they could stop the run a lot better. But if

769
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: he's still struggling, and if if Brandon Williams is struggling

770
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: in the middle of that line, you know, the line

771
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: factors have not played well. Patrick Clean has been essentially

772
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: a bust so far. You know, the Browns could have

773
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: some success on the ground and they could keep it close,

774
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: you know. Otherwise I do agree it's probably the right

775
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: side with the Ravens. I personally I'm not taking it,

776
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,479
Speaker 1: but you know I can see that side being being

777
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: an angle that that makes sense, all right, So t A.

778
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: I I show up in Ohio this afternoon. I said,

779
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: t A, I like your bets. You know, here's I

780
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: got one game to bet. I need this victory. Is

781
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: there a side that you're betting on? You know, like

782
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 1: a couple of side that's in My favorite is Green

783
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: Bay And you know me, like, you know me right,

784
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm a contrarian, take a lot of underdogs. I rarely,

785
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: if ever take big road favorites. Actually like a couple

786
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 1: this week, but Um, this just to me is such

787
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: a glaring mismatch that I just can't deny it. I mean,

788
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the way to get to him is your

789
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle, right, like when he plays good

790
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: defensive fronts like Indianapolis and Tampa in San Francisco last year,

791
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: Like those teams give them problems. But you don't have

792
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: that problem. You don't have the issue here. I mean,

793
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: he's number one in the NFL with a clean pocket

794
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: in terms of quarterback rating. Thirty one touchdowns, four interceptions,

795
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: just tremendous numbers. When when he's clean, the Lions have

796
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 1: a bottom five pass rush and it's even worse now

797
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks without Trade Flowers, they have

798
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: no pass rush at all. They have nobody in the

799
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: secondary to defend Davante Adams, Jeffrey ac coud to their

800
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: number one pick is out. Desmond true Font, the veteran

801
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: free agent signing UH this season, he's out as well.

802
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: They have nobody to defend him. I don't see a

803
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: scenario where they slow down this offense and the other

804
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You know, normally you would say

805
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: you can attack this Green Bay defense, especially on the

806
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: ground but they've actually in the last five weeks they

807
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: have a top five defense if you look at some

808
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: of the advanced metrics. They haven't faced a tough schedule.

809
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: But it's not like the Lions without Kenny Golladay to

810
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: really throw the ball all over the field. If you

811
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: have Jayra Alexander stopping Marvin Jones, Like, who do they

812
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: go to? I mean, Daniel Mendola. I just don't think

813
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: this is in. You know, Jandre Seth will be back,

814
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be back on a limited basis. He's

815
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: still having concussion issues, so if he does play, so

816
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: I just don't see a scenario where Detroit can get

817
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: into you know, the mid twenties here, which I think

818
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: you'll need to cover this game because I don't see

819
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: anyway that green Bay doesn't score at least thirty three

820
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: four points. Yeah, I'm with you. I like green Bay

821
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: a lot. But you said you like multiple road favorites.

822
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: Um huh is one of them? Perhaps the Kansas City Chiefs.

823
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: You got it? This is Let me guess you like Miami. Well,

824
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that I like Miami, but we'll talk

825
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: about my side second. Um, go go ahead, let's let's

826
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: hear the Chiefs, who haven't covered in the last four

827
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: I know they're sleepwalking through everything, but um, go ahead, Well, well,

828
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: let's let's first off this game. Their motivation manners a

829
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: lot here right with Kansas City in general. But now

830
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: that the Steelers have lost, the number one seed is

831
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: wide open for them to take. And this is of

832
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: all the years, this is the biggest edge in terms

833
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: of getting the number one seed because there's only one

834
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: by this year in the playoffs. So they are fully motivated.

835
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: They're not gonna look look ahead anymore. So we've got

836
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: their full attention. Now. The thing with Miami is yah,

837
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: it's a great story. FLOORA has been great. You gotta look,

838
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: you gotta look under the hood a little bit. Who

839
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: have they played. They have the single easiest schedule in

840
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: the NFL so far as this season. Okay, by D

841
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: B o A metrics they have. You know, they've lived

842
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: off of two things, turnovers and third down defense. They

843
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: ranked number one in both. Wow, Kansas City is number

844
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: two in the least amount of turnovers. We know homes

845
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 1: just doesn't turn it over. And their number their number

846
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: one in third offense. Right, So okay, real tough matchup. Well,

847
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: who has Miami face that kind of fits that profile. Well,

848
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: they faced to only two top ten pass offenses in

849
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: the NFL this year all season Buffalo in Seattle. Well,

850
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: what did Josh Allen, what Russell Wilson doing against that defense? Well,

851
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen four hundred and fifteen yards passing, Russell Wilson

852
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: three hundred sixty six yards, completed the passes, six touchdowns,

853
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: one interception, okay, eleven point two yards per attempt combined.

854
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: They scored thirty one in each of those games. Okay,

855
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: So now you've got the best passing offense in the NFL,

856
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: so as great as Flora's is, you know, and maybe

857
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: he'll scheme something up and you're not gonna completely shut

858
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: down Patrick Mahomes, what does Miami love to do? They

859
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: love the blitz their number two in the NFL and

860
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: blitz right, Well, Patrick Mahomes has faced four top ten

861
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: blitz heavy teams. We know Ravens obviously being number one

862
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: in those four games. Completions eight point nine yards per ten,

863
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty nine passing yards per game, fifteen touchdowns,

864
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: no interceptions. He just destroys those types of defenses, like,

865
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? And you know, I just

866
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: don't see how a they slow him down enough for

867
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: for them to cover and beat. Okay, let's say they

868
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: do well, what is two are gonna do? I mean,

869
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: what is this offense faced? I mean, I know Kansas

870
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: City defense isn't great, but they step up in these

871
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: types of occasions. So kind of all that being said,

872
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 1: I just don't see, um, how Miami and this offense

873
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: can really keep up. I have this game more than

874
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: nine point spread, so I think you have some value.

875
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean seven, I have a little different story. I

876
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: have it at seven. Um, you know, seven and a

877
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: half might be a little less of an edge, but

878
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: I still think at the end of the day, this

879
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: is just a clear step up in class. I mean,

880
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: who is Miami's face? Think about it. They two has

881
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: had two good games, one against Cincinnati's awful defense, right

882
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: and they couldn't score in the red zone. And the

883
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: other good game was in Arizona when they were down

884
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. Arizona had nobody in the second area, and

885
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: they allowed this Arizona offense, which has struggled the last

886
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: handful of weeks, to put up thirty points on them.

887
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: So again another example of when Miami has to face

888
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: a step up in class and offense, they struggle. So

889
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: all that being said, I just think you just gotta

890
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: look under the hood a little bit. Don't look at

891
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: the raw numbers, don't look at Okay, they've blown out

892
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: you know the Jets and um, you know the rams

893
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: off of one of the worst travel schedules of all time.

894
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: Short weeks. Um, you know, they beat Cincinnati like just nobody.

895
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: They just haven't done anything against a good team and

896
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: they lost at Benburg. It looks terrible. So to me,

897
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: this is the Kansas City side. Yeah, all that is

898
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Um, I guess my one thing, and again,

899
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: you never want to go into a game with one

900
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: thing and think it's a smart move and having an

901
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: edge and an advantage. But when you look at Brian

902
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: flores history against Mahomes, the first time he faced him

903
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: in regular season, it was a fortyty thriller. I think

904
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: it was Sunday night football and Mahomes had a good game.

905
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: But then then the rematch was the a f C

906
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: title game and Flores was the d C and he

907
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: had row the safety of Miami in the secondary at

908
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: the time for New England, he held Tyreek Hill to

909
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: one catch. Travis Kelsey had two. The schemes that he

910
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: used for that game. Now, Gilmore was excellent. Can Xavian

911
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: Howard do the same? I don't. I just I don't

912
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna go with the heavy blitz package. There's

913
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: gotta be some scheme that Flores has cooked up from

914
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: a Homes Because you're right under pressure, Mahomes is delivery.

915
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: I said this earlier. Outside of games against the Raiders,

916
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, zero picks, he doesn't turn it over ever. Um,

917
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: I do a little bit worry about the Chief's red

918
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: zone issues over four against Denver, over three, UM the

919
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: week before against Tampa. And then my only other two

920
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: things on this game, Uh, Number one the Chiefs. Obviously

921
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: the Miami game matters, but next week they have the

922
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: Saints and what everybody's gonna build as a Super Bowl preview.

923
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't think Andy Read gets caught look at ahead

924
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: to that. Uh, he's too good of a coach. Um.

925
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,919
Speaker 1: And and I guess the last one is the performances

926
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: Miami had that were bad against Alan and Russ Byron

927
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: Jones got hurt two snaps into the first game, and

928
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: he completely missed the second one, so they had to

929
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,479
Speaker 1: put in a rookie. The kid Noah, I won't pretend

930
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 1: to say his last name from Auburn, and he got

931
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: lit up. He has had a rough season. They've barely

932
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: played him since those two games. But he was torched.

933
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: I mean Digs lit him. It was bad. The kid

934
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: had he got embarrassed. And with Byron Jones are a

935
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: much better secondary. The problem, like you said, we haven't

936
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: seen them against an elite quarterback, so there is concern

937
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: can to come in the back door. I just I

938
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't know about Miami putting the throat on

939
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: good teams versus letting them hang around and against Tampa,

940
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: just let them hang around and cover Seven's a big number.

941
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would love seven and a half. Well,

942
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: two rebuttals there. It's a good um you know, back

943
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: and forth. I understand the Byron Jones case. I mean,

944
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: Byron Jones is not been good this year, so he's

945
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: seventy four if you care about PFVE grades, right, seventy

946
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: four and coverage grades among um my NFL corners. And again,

947
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,439
Speaker 1: if you're saying he missed those games. That means he's

948
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: faced literally no good offense, right because they haven't faced

949
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: anybody else. It's like Buffalo, and I mean they both

950
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: went over a hundred yards. Okay, so against Jones and Howard.

951
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: So that's my point is, you know they haven't faced

952
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: anybody in viron Jones, it's very good. And I will

953
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 1: say it will a bottle to the fact about Floras

954
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: and I get that he's not he maybe he'll change

955
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: it up, maybe he'll do do differently, maybe he'll do

956
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: what Buffalo did right where they didn't send the blizz

957
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: as well. They play very very soft coverage and they

958
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: dared Kansas City to run it, and what happened. Kansas

959
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: City ran it down their throat and Miami is twenty

960
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: four a run defense. It's a very similar profile of Buffalo,

961
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: and we saw what happened in that game. They had

962
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: no problems um covering. So again like this, you know,

963
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where no matter what

964
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: you do against this um this casey offense, I'm not

965
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: sure there's a right answer. I mean, the Dolphins, by

966
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: the way, let up Kyler Murray been bad, you know,

967
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: throwing the ball this year ten point nine yards per

968
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: attempt and eight completion percentage in that game. It's not

969
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: like they've really done and he didn't done anything against

970
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: anybody else there. This is this is is an overrated defense.

971
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a lot of smoke and mirrors.

972
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: They've lived on special teams, they've lived off the turnovers.

973
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: Miami is the only team that's generated to turnover in

974
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: every game this season, and in many of those it

975
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: was double digit turnover not not double digits, sorry, two

976
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: turnovers and more. All right, let's quickly go to one more. Uh,

977
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay six and a half on the at home

978
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: against Minnesota coming off to buy. I I bet Tampa

979
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: here at six and a half. UM, I don't know

980
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: any thoughts, you know. I actually I took the team

981
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: total over for Tampa just because you know, I think

982
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: they'll cover. But I was just you know, you just

983
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: never know. With Kirk Huss has a lot of garbage time.

984
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: He's a really good backdoor type of fast so um.

985
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: But in your favor, I mean, there was a huge

986
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: injury to Minnesota. That's Eric Hendricks. Eric Hendricks. People don't

987
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: even realize he's the number one ranked coverage linebacker. If

988
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: you look again, look at Pro Football Focus grades. So

989
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: he's number one. I mean, he has been excellent all years,

990
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: a great tackler. He's he's I mean for a linebacker.

991
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: The guy has um three interceptions and four pass breakups,

992
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: Like you just don't see that from a from a

993
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. So him being out is huge. Todd Davis

994
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: is their backup. Um, he's He's actually produced one of

995
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: the worst coverage grades. You look at Pro Football Focus

996
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: this season, so you go from the best to one

997
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: of the worst. So that middle of the field golong

998
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: and those guys will be wide open. So I think

999
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: you know off of by my guess is that they

1000
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: if they're smart, and I think they are, that they

1001
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: have adjusted this offense a little bit to to cater

1002
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: towards what what Tom Brady's used to. UM. I think

1003
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: that that gives them a week off to do that.

1004
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna have a good game plan.

1005
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 1: I think it would come out with more quicker passes

1006
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, and that's where I think

1007
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: they're really going to dominate. Look for Grant to have

1008
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 1: a huge game. Look for Chris Godwin to to settle

1009
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: in the middle of that field, and I'm just not sure.

1010
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, when Minnesota so run heavy and Tampa still

1011
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: one of the best run defenses in the NFL. They're

1012
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit in the secondary, but you know,

1013
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: if you're if you're able to slow down Dalvin Cook,

1014
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: it's a totally different scheme here. So I tend to agree.

1015
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think the Tampa over is kind

1016
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: of a lock. But um, I think you're on the

1017
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: right side. A lot of favorites this week that can

1018
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: be dangerous, right, t A. Good stuff. He's at Warren

1019
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: Sharp's website. What is that again? Let's start footballing. He

1020
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: puts out a really good injury report every week and

1021
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: some gambling picks. You gotta follow those or at cleave

1022
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: t A on the Twitter machine. All right, t A,

1023
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: enjoy the games and happy holiday's buddy, all right, thanks

1024
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: you too. Alright, good stuff. I love just diving deep. Listen.

1025
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: I could go an hour just going back and forth

1026
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: on these games. There's so much fun stuff. It's weird, folks.

1027
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,720
Speaker 1: I know I'm so heavy into the NFL this season

1028
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: that you know I had Well, we'll talk about it

1029
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: after the break, but I just I'm in love with

1030
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm really having fun with it. Coming up next, Uh,

1031
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: we'll do a quick NBA um topic. I didn't get

1032
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: to bash Kyrie Irving as much as I want. Um. Listen,

1033
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: when you try to reference the Queen's gambit and it

1034
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: kind of blows up in your face, it's bad. It's

1035
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: a bad job. So we'll talk about that next year

1036
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Who's just like the Temptations? I was, Sam,

1037
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder, good stuff. Enjoy the NFL banter. It's fun.

1038
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 1: Like listen, it's it's crazy that we're what do we?

1039
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: Week fourteen only got a few weeks left a regular

1040
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: season in NFL. It's amazing. Now, I would say, I'm

1041
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: now in the building and uh, I gotta ask. I was, Sam,

1042
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna do NBA. But like, how many bowl games

1043
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: are gonna happen? Do we know? Is it just the playoff?

1044
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: There will be some bowl games, it won't be as

1045
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: many as years prior um, but there I know that

1046
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: some bulls have already folded. And then some schools have

1047
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: also decided not to play in a bowl game despite

1048
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: having like a winning record. But I'm not sure how

1049
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: many bulls. There's going to be, but it's it's yeah,

1050
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like forty bulls or thirty eight

1051
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: as we've grown accustomed to the Hawkeyes going bowling. Yeah

1052
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: they should. It's a matter though, of what states are

1053
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna allow. I'm sure you're going to see a lot

1054
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: of bulls in like Texas and Louisiana, you know states

1055
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: that are a little bit more open. Uh, you know,

1056
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: California bulls might be a little dicey might But and

1057
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: also it's gonna come down to teams. Is it Is

1058
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: it gonna be worth the trouble to go to these bulls?

1059
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: Obviously you're trying to recoup a lot of money that's

1060
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: been lost this year. But with traveling and COVID, you're

1061
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: just gonna have some teams that are like, you know,

1062
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: we're good, We're you know, we're what are we gonna

1063
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: make fifteen thousand dollars going extra dollars going to the

1064
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: Mini Key Car Care Bowl like no things? Yeah, none carre. Yeah,

1065
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: it's a rough one for college football guys. Um, I

1066
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm hopeful the NBA's I'm just start up.

1067
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell did they have fans in the stadium

1068
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: or no, I don't think so. Okay, so let me

1069
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: ask you this. So the forty Niners, um can't practice,

1070
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: can't practice, I guess, or play games in San Francisco

1071
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: right now? And what about the Warriors? Are they allowed

1072
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: to have games there preseason? What? Like? I have no idea,

1073
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: Like the rules are just changing on the fly. I

1074
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: think that these these rules in Santa Clara County or

1075
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I think that they're going to expire

1076
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: at something. You should the wars should be able to

1077
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: come back. And I mean I have friends in New

1078
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: York are like, oh my gosh, they just shut down

1079
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: indoor dining. This is gonna be so bad. I was like, wait,

1080
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: is it? We haven't been able to eat indoors in

1081
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 1: California and what seven months? Kevin? Yeah? And I think

1082
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: for them it's also because it's snowing out there, so

1083
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: it's not like they can do outside dining very easily. Right, Yeah,

1084
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: they can't do it anywhere. Yeah, I know l A

1085
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: has been about as restrictive as anywhere. And then the

1086
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: non outdoor less and obviously it stinks, but um, you know,

1087
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: we're trying to still support local and do some take out. Um,

1088
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: have you guys heard you have you been a Taco

1089
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: Licious or have you heard of it? Yeah? I think

1090
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: it's own. There's a couple establishments around. It's not bad,

1091
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, a little overpriced taco action, but whatever. I

1092
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: like a good taco every now and then. Um, I

1093
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: just this whole like the NBA gonna happen in a bubble,

1094
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: Like I would love to go to an NBA game,

1095
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: but with the vaccine, you know, but even then, like

1096
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: just because let's say half the people in the stands

1097
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: have the vaccine, and I'm talking half of like two

1098
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: thousand people, the others don't. I don't think it's a

1099
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: given that you're you're not gonna potentially get something there indoors, right,

1100
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Staples Center is not that big, right, Gavin, No,

1101
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: I have to check the capacity. Let's say you get

1102
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: let's say you get tickets to a Lakers game. Are

1103
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,919
Speaker 1: you going? Yeah? I would? I mean, I look, I'm

1104
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm very much in the camp of like, let will

1105
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: do what they want to do. If you're if you're sick,

1106
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: if you're vulnerable, stay home. But I mean, it's been

1107
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: a year of this. You know. Yeah, we're to get

1108
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: is the center capacity? So maybe they do. There's no

1109
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: way they're doing They can't even do five thousand. I

1110
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: mean in football stadiums, you barely with seventy thousand, you

1111
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: barely get fifteen. Um. Yeah, it's not gonna happen anytime too.

1127
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,480

1138
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: where he won a Super Bowl. In the Eagles front

1139
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: office with Doug Peterson, sounds like they're trying to run

1140
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: Peterson out and he's capitulating and saying, fine, you want

1142
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is going up against one of the best

1143
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL. I can check to see if

1203
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: we'll look back on miss in three years and laugh

1204
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: about it, won't we. Yeah, it's funny. There's two different

1205
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: universes right now around the Jets. Theirs they you know,

1206
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: the players and coaches are obviously trying to win games

1207
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: and little lost like last week was just brutal for

1208
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: them and devastating. But then there's the universe, which I

1209
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of the fans until you know, don't

1210
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: win now, like like just move out and get Trevor

1211
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence here. So yeah, I think the initial reaction obviously

1212
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: was oh my god, I can't believe they lost that GA.

1213
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: But then I think a lot of Jets fans were happy,

1214
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe you'll be building a statute a

1215
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Greg Williams if Trevor Lawrence was up to his billing

1216
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: for the Chests in a few years. All right, So Brian,

1217
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: let's let's back up just a little bit. Um. I

1218
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: want to go back to Adam Gaze. Okay, this is

1219
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: a guy that should have probably been firing like week five,

1220
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: and then it became clear that the Jets best chance

1221
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,439
Speaker 1: um at getting Trevor Lawrence was keeping Adam Gays because

1222
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: he sucks as a head coach. Peyton Manning gave him

1223
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: the uh not, oh you gotta go higher Gays because

1224
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Adam Gays was instrumental in Peyton Manning

1225
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: time in Denver. Right, Um, but they kept him and

1226
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: it's disappointing. But this is where we are. We know

1227
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Gays is not sticking around after this. There's zero chance

1228
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: of that. I'm gonna start here. Has Adam Gays ruined

1229
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Sam Donald? Or is Sam Donald potentially fixable? I don't

1230
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: think he's ruined him, and I don't think this is

1231
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: on Adam case really with Sam Donald. I think the

1232
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: bigger factors that Sam Donald are the people around him

1233
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: in terms of who's on the field with him. He's

1234
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: got to play a lot of games. He's here with

1235
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: just terrible wide receivers, terrible offensive line the last few

1236
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: years he's had that, and I think, um, a lot

1237
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: of it falls on Sam Donald. You know, not who

1238
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: we thought he was when they drafted him in number three.

1239
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't read the field very well. He just isn't

1240
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: progressing in that area. Es you watch the film and

1241
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: his receivers that are open and he doesn't see them.

1242
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: He just had doesn't have very good vision right now,

1243
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: still turning the ball over a lot. So you know,

1244
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,439
Speaker 1: I do think if Sam goes to a place where

1245
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: he has a great running back and great receivers and

1246
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: a good offens the line, good defense, Sam can win

1247
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: your football. But he's one of those quarterbacks I think

1248
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: meets a really really strong supporting cast around him in

1249
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 1: order to succeed. He's never going to carry a team

1250
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: by himself. Does it hurt that Joe Flacco is pretty

1251
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: much performed better than Donald and when you're trying to

1252
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: trade Donald, like what can you get? What's a realistic

1253
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: asking for him? Now? Yeah, I don't think I hurt

1254
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: the trade value Jays, And I think it just does

1255
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: expose something that you know, it shows you that, uh,

1256
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: it isn't all Adam Gas. You know, people playing if

1257
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: the offense looked okay when Joe Flacco was running it, um,

1258
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: so you know, and and he did in Flacco got

1259
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: the receivers back at that time, but then Donald had

1260
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the receivers and didn't quite look just good. Um. You know.

1261
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: In terms of trade value, I still think there's gonna

1262
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: be people that are Hotford to trade for Sam Donald

1263
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of guys he was only he

1264
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: only was dropped three years ago, you know, this offseason,

1265
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of people loved him. And coaches always

1266
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: think they can fix players. Coaches always look at guys

1267
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: and say, how you know, if I get him here,

1268
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: I can fix them. So I think, realistically, I look

1269
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: at the Rose and Trade and I say, you know,

1270
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: at two out of five something like that to get

1271
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: that for him? Two and five? All right, So we

1272
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: got what maybe the perimeters are. Um. I've heard many

1273
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 1: teams in the mix, perhaps Indianapolis with Phillipi Rivers being

1274
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: like or whatever. Maybe San Francisco decides to move off

1275
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy g they get a West Coast guy back out

1276
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,919
Speaker 1: to the West Coast. Any other teams that you think

1277
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: realistically makes sense for Sam Donald. I think Chicago could

1278
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: make some sense. A California kid in cold weather Chicago.

1279
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: He's been playing in cold water in New Jersey. No. Well, no,

1280
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's the weather that's the problem.

1281
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: I really don't. UM. I think Washington can make some

1282
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: success sometimes for him. I mean, like, if Alex Smith

1283
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: has another year, let's say, like, I don't know how

1284
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: many more years, Alex Smith wants to play, uh and

1285
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Washington doesn't feel like they can get a quarterback this

1286
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: year in the draft and bring in Sam Darald and

1287
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: let him. I think Say would really benefit from going somewhere.

1288
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: We could sit for a year and kind of just

1289
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: kind of recharge the battery, you know, like just just

1290
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: mentally reef, get refreshed, physically, get refreshed. Pittsburgh's a team

1291
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: like that. How much love is Ben gonna play? Because

1292
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: he could he go there and sit behind Benfrey year

1293
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: and then take over in thousand point two, like I

1294
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: can see, you know, situations. I think there's a lot

1295
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: of teams that could make some sense for him. And uh,

1296
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,799
Speaker 1: you only the quarterback that was taking number three overall,

1297
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be there's gonna be teams that are interested.

1298
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: So I think I think the Jets will have some

1299
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: seaters for him. Interesting and do you I mean, I

1300
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: guess it's too early to think, like about Philadelphia where

1301
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas the Jets GM obviously used to spend some

1302
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: time he was in the Philadelphia front office. We know

1303
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: the Carson w situation got ugly. Uh, Jalen Hurts is

1304
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: getting to start this week. Probably too early to mention Philly,

1305
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: but I think it would It wouldn't be bad to

1306
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: get him out of the conference. Like I don't want

1307
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: to see Sam Donald all of a sudden be good

1308
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, you know that. Yeah, Well, I mean I

1309
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 1: think Jalen Hurts, I think is sort of you know,

1310
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: in the similar ballpark of Sam right now, is as

1311
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: like a developmental guys. I don't think Billy did get

1312
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: me looking at the same you know, looking for for

1313
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. But yeah, I do agree with you. If

1314
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: they could get him the honest, that would probably be

1315
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: the best thing. I don't think it's a deal breaker though.

1316
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: And look here, here's here's how it's gonna work. If

1317
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: if Trevor Lawrence comes in and plays great, jets Fams

1318
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 1: aren't going to care about what Sam darl does. But

1319
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: I think he'll be happy for he goes somewhere plays well.

1320
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: If Trevor Lawrence comes in and falls on his face

1321
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: then and Sam goes somewhere and successful, that will kill you.

1322
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be all about you know, if Trevor

1323
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: Lawrence is here and he'll make you forget about small quick.

1324
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: I think I love the negativity Brian Casella. If Trevor

1325
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Lawrence falls on his face, there's literally that thought has

1326
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: never come into my head ever since watching him at

1327
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: Clemson d He's unbelievable. All right, Brian, go ahead, go ahead,

1328
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: I know, but you know nothing a certainty, you know,

1329
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: in this league, so you never know. All right? So

1330
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,959
Speaker 1: now the most interesting part, Brian, What on earth happens

1331
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: at head coach? Um? And I'm gonna I'll start you

1332
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: with this one. Okay, the Jets are obviously gonna, you know,

1333
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: have be in the mix to get Lawrence. It'll be

1334
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 1: a shocker if they don't. He's only a young quarterback.

1335
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: But you want your young guy happy. But are you

1336
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: reaching too much saying hey, Sam, you know we've got

1337
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: these names. Do you even say I'm sorry, Sam, Trevor,

1338
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 1: we have these names, Trevor, do any of these guys

1339
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: appeal to you? Is that? Is that a risky move

1340
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: for the Jets? Yeah? I don't think you do that.

1341
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: You haven't even dropped him or what I mean? No,

1342
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: I don't think you do that. I do think that

1343
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: can be some you know, maybe some back chail communication.

1344
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna hire an agent on January three, or we don't.

1345
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know when the championship game is and when

1346
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: the seasons over. But he's gonna hire an agent, and

1347
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: you can talk to the agent. But you know, I

1348
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: don't think Trevor Lawrence should be heavily involved in hiring

1349
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: that to which I think the Jets have to hire.

1350
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, the Jets have to go out and hire

1351
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: the best leader they can find. But to meets coaching sersus,

1352
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: like no one should be ruled out really, like I

1353
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 1: don't think like people said, you know, college coach offense defense, Uh,

1354
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 1: someone who has head coaching experience, all of them, Like

1355
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 1: look at all, just look at everyone can look out

1356
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: and find the best leader for emon. It's don't hire

1357
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: the hot corner. Like it's got to be about more

1358
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: than play calling. It have to fall into the trap

1359
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: so many times when it's been about you know, this

1360
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: guy's called the good offense or good defense. They need

1361
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: a leader. Like the one thing that jumped out to

1362
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: Jason about the Greg Williams stuff from last weeks, like

1363
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: people said, well, how come Adam Gaze you know, didn't

1364
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 1: call crime out and didn't stop that play and he

1365
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: should have. But the way the setup was was basically

1366
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: like they said about day one. Great Williams is the

1367
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: head coach the defense, like he had autonomy. That can't

1368
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: be the case anymore. Like the head coach has to

1369
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: be the head coach of the entire football team and

1370
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: not just run one side of the ball. Rex Ryan

1371
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: ran the defense, Todd Bowls ran the defense, Adam teach

1372
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: one of the offense. They haven't had like a CEO

1373
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: coach in a long time. I think they need that.

1374
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: Let me too quickly, do Joe Brady head coach, Marvin

1375
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 1: Lewis defensive coordinator? Yes or no? No, I would reverse

1376
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: the time to Marvin Lewis. Is that well? Listen, I

1377
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: saw McVeigh come in get way. Phillips is his defensive coordinator,

1378
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 1: and that works swimmingly. It did, it did. But I

1379
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: mean that's what the model the Jets for using was.

1380
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 1: G Greg Williams run the defense, and it's you know,

1381
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: it's not really I well, they didn't do their homework,

1382
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Gun Gays. Nobody did, I mean, nobody knew he would

1383
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: be well. Greg Williams has a history of being a

1384
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: nut job. Yes, this Marvin Lewis stuff that people are

1385
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: starting to flow. It's starting to scare me. Man is

1386
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: the guy with zero freaking playoff wins in sixteen years. Brian,

1387
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: no evidence that he could do anything to help Trevor

1388
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Lawrence none. All right, Yeah, well he's a defensive coach,

1389
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: so you know, I don't think the Arvor Lawrence factors that.

1390
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: But I mean, Jason, what does the Bengals won before

1391
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: him or since since he's been gone? I mean they've

1392
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: been that's a terrible franchise. And him getting in the

1393
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: playoffs the seven times, there's an achievement. I know we

1394
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 1: didn't win those games, but I covered a lot of

1395
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: those games. For some reason, I always ended up in

1396
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati covered the playoffs, and they did not have great personnel.

1397
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I certainly I didn't cover the Carson Palmer days, but

1398
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: I covered the Andy Dalton play up losses a few

1399
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: of them, and you know they were they weren't great teams.

1400
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know I would. I wouldn't say, oh yeah,

1401
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: needs a no brainer, but I would talk to department

1402
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 1: most all right. Brian Costello, great great NFL writer, New

1403
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,560
Speaker 1: York Post covers the Jets, covers football. Brian, Happy holidays,

1404
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: and we're definitely gonna have you back, trust me right

1405
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: around high hiring time. Man, have a good one, Costello,

1406
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: all right, we'll be back. Um oh man, that just

1407
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: made me sad as hell. We'll do some college football

1408
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 1: picks if there's any damn games next year. On the

1409
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: Jason McIntire show, Fox Sports Radio. Oh goodness. Nothing will

1410
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: put you in a funk like hearing your favorite team

1411
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: to root for would even consider someone like Marvin Lewis

1412
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: as their head coach. Just staggering to me, it's unbelievable.

1413
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: I like Morvin Lewis. He's a good, good coach by

1414
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: all accounts. He's a good man. Um. You know I'm

1415
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: not gonna come out here and slander him. He's done

1416
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: some things. The Bengals stunked and they got Marvin Lewis.

1417
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: They got Carson Palmer the number one pick, and the

1418
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: arrow pointed up. But on some level, I think he

1419
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:22,679
Speaker 1: went to seven playoff games. Guys, he lost every single

1420
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: one of them. I couldn't pull one upset in the playoffs. Okay,

1421
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if he got outcoached in every game,

1422
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: I'd have to go and look systematically at every single game.

1423
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: But you gotta try pretty hard to get to the

1424
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: playoffs seven times and lose all of them. Rex Ryan

1425
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 1: went to the Jets, had done nothing but defense in

1426
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: his career and got to back to back an FC

1427
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 1: title games with Mark Sanchez as the quarterback, winning four

1428
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,759
Speaker 1: road games. So don't give me this. Well, you didn't

1429
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. Are you killing me? Rex

1430
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,480
Speaker 1: Ryan had Mark Sanchez, his receivers were like Jericho Cotchery

1431
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: and brayl And Edwards, and he got to the a

1432
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: SE title game twice. Marvin Lewis couldn't win one playoff

1433
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: game in sixteen years. This idea that the Jets to

1434
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: grown up. Fine, you want to grown up? Do what

1435
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,440
Speaker 1: the Rams did. Put mcveigh's head coach, put Wade Phillips's

1436
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: d C, and the that can be the model that

1437
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: could work. Now, you gotta decide who you want. Do

1438
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 1: you want Joe Brady? Do you want Brian Dable, the

1439
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offensive coordinator, who, by the way, has been

1440
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:48,759
Speaker 1: pretty amazing working with Josh Allen. I mean, I confess

1441
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: I was on the forty Niners last week with every

1442
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: other sharp gambler. The line on that moved all week

1443
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: for the Niners. And then they just get curb stumped

1444
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen and Brian Table. They could not stop

1445
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:07,600
Speaker 1: him at all or come even close. Joe Brady is

1446
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: the guy in Carolina who was with Joe Burrow at

1447
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: l s U. Joe Brady is a very very sharp

1448
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,959
Speaker 1: offensive guy. And if you pair him with Trevor Lawrence,

1449
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? You need that? You need offense

1450
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: in this league right now? And yes, some of these

1451
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: young guys are gonna flop. Zach Taylor, well, listen, uh,

1452
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor. His quarterback last year was I think Andy

1453
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Dalton for half the season, then he got hurt. Uh,

1454
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: and now he's competitive with Joe Burrow. But Zach Taylor

1455
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: something like four and twenty four and one. As a coach,

1456
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: you know he's not good. Um. Cliff Kingsbury exceeded expectations

1457
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: last year with the Cardinals. Um has had some stumbles.

1458
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: You couldn't name his defensive coordinator. Um, oh no, wait

1459
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: is it Todd? No? Where's Todd Bowls? He's in Tampa

1460
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Bay too, is in Tampa back with Bruce Sirians. Vic

1461
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: Fngio is a defensive coordinator Denver. He's probably gonna get dusted. Well,

1462
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: look at the you know, San Francisco, right, just went

1463
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: up against Brian day Ball and the Bills and Robert Salaga. Yeah, um, yeah,

1464
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: you ned offense in this league right now. Yeah, it's

1465
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: an offensive league. There's no doubt about that. Now they

1466
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: hold advanced Joseph Is the defensive coordinator former head right, Sorry,

1467
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 1: go ahead. Uh, Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick defensive guys

1468
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: that were, uh, you know, I didn't have a great

1469
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,560
Speaker 1: start to their career. So that could be the example

1470
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: of Marvin Lewis. Maybe didn't do great his first time around,

1471
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: but you know, he's sixty two, he's been out of

1472
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: the NFL for two years. I'm sorry, I don't want

1473
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: to hear that. You want to almost those guys are

1474
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: and seventies. This is true, but they did not when

1475
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: they started. If you want to lose its fans by

1476
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,600
Speaker 1: getting Trevor Lawrence and then hiring Marvin Lewis, that's it,

1477
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: go for it, because you're not gonna get a great

1478
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. You're just not. They want to be head

1479
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: coaches and they should. Coming up next, we're trying to

1480
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: secure an NBA player. At the top of the next hour,

01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: champion Lakers, Jared, how are you man? I'm good man.

1501
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm good, man, I might be done with the media. Man,

1502
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: when just go straight to gm or head coach time?

1503
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: Oh now he's skipping over the media. Is gonna be

1504
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: a gm wre head coach? Well listen, man, Uh, I

1505
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: don't even know where you we're gonna start, but I

1506
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: feel like i'm we should reference Chess here? Am I

1507
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: the pawn or you? Or what's going on? Have you

1508
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: been watching Queen's Gambit? I watched Creeen's Gambits phenomenal. Yeah,

1509
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 1: I've also watched Kylee Statement crazy and there's the third

1510
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: Thing's like, Man, listen, that movie, I mean, that's cheat

1511
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: show Man was phenomenal. Just you know, just to thinking

1512
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: like that. But no, no, no, you know when comes

1513
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: to the the media, we need the media. So actually saw

1514
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: it equal. Yeah, I'm just curious though. Listen, you just

1515
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: played with Lebron and uh, I'm assuming it was a

1516
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: phenomenal experience. You've probably learned a lot. This is a

1517
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: guy who I have as the greatest player in NBA history. Um,

1518
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: are you surprised that Kyrie's taking jabs at him? Man?

1519
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,560
Speaker 1: This is like the third one you know in the

1520
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 1: last six months. I'm not surprising it into this year.

1521
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: I means, for one, Kyrie is a phenomenal player. He

1522
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: thinks differently, but he wanted out of Cleveland. There's no

1523
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: one that wins a championship and they're young and once out,

1524
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 1: so obviously there was some something that was neglected. I'm

1525
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: not having He shot the most shots. They want a championship.

1526
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: He hit the greatest clutch shot maybe in Indian history,

1527
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: definitely in Cleveland history. And then now you know us,

1528
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: his buddies and hyped him up, KD and himself, the

1529
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 1: media and we all can see it is a shot,

1530
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 1: and Karbi knows what's going on in I mean, that's

1531
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: his on him. Yeah, but this is a guy who

1532
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, took a shot of Brad Stevens. I want

1533
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: to go to I want to go to Boston. No,

1534
01:21:58,040 --> 01:21:59,759
Speaker 1: he's not good enough. Then he gets a coach fired

1535
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn, I mean Jared. This is a consistent pattern

1536
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 1: of behavior with the guy. It's just Lebron seemed put

1537
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: out when they put out that video this week. He

1538
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: did not seem happy. But again, you've been you've spent

1539
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: time with Lebron, like this is a guy. When you're

1540
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: at the top people are taking shots all the time.

1541
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: How how did how did you guys in the Lakers

1542
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 1: locker room handle that bubble? And everything that went on

1543
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: the bubble was crazy. Now I'll be I'll will lie

1544
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: to you. We just knew we had a chance to

1545
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: win a championship, so we was locked in and then

1546
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,799
Speaker 1: we heard, you know, obviously for possibly shutting down the season.

1547
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: Kyrie's comment, Um, I mean the bubble. I mean, listen,

1548
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 1: there's no excuses. The food was terrible early on. You

1549
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: had no no routine, couldn't see loved one. It was

1550
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: it was tall. We we we started a Madden Tournament

1551
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: to get our mind off basketball. But to be honest

1552
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: with you, we had the best chemistry in the NBA,

1553
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: and that's that's no cliche. Live. We all hung out,

1554
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 1: we all liked each other, and you can see it

1555
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: on the floor. To be honest with you, yeah, I

1556
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: want to ask you got Lakers have made a lot

1557
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: of moves or tuco with NBA champ Jared Dudley of

1558
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers, LA made a lot of moves and somebody

1559
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: argued to me that they got worse defensively losing Rondo,

1560
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard and bringing in offensive guys like Shrewder and

1561
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: Montrez Harrold. I'm curious as to your thoughts watching the

1562
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: Lakers off season unfold as a veteran, a guy who's

1563
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: been around the league. You're back with the Lakers, but

1564
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: what did you think of the moves? You just mentioned

1565
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 1: the chemistry. What did you think of the offseason moves.

1566
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 1: It's a fair question we got more talented. I don't

1567
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 1: know if for a better team. Time will tell. Avery

1568
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 1: Bradley was also on that when we were first team

1569
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: defense when he was in Obviously Rondo's I i q

1570
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard's versatility in Jabelle's link, Marcus Saws a team

1571
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: at the player of the year. He might not be

1572
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: able to move, but on our in our system, when

1573
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 1: it comes to thinking and bumping out, we're not gonna

1574
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: let him go one on longer point guards, We'll double,

1575
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: We'll move them around, and he has the IQ to

1576
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: do that. Then you add someone like West Matthews. He

1577
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 1: might have been their best defender last year. You know

1578
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: at the wind of finger and then shoulder shoulders are younger.

1579
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Rondo he's more at He saw him last night picking

1580
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 1: up full court. So I just think it's start t

1581
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 1: a d first in Lebron sitting a defensive mentality. Frank

1582
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,599
Speaker 1: Bogan for defensive coach. I think we're gonna be good defensively.

1583
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Didn't because Frank Vogel he tries stuff, he's not He's

1584
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: not afraid to make adjustments in game. And so I

1585
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: think it's a fair question. With Tom we'll Yeah, we're

1586
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: out here in l A. So I have to ask

1587
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:23,679
Speaker 1: Laker fans absolutely giddy about th h t talent Horton Tucker.

1588
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: You know Taylor Horton Tucker. Sorry, tell me what your

1589
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: thoughts are having been with him last year and then

1590
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: watching last night as he really emerges. Oh, this is

1591
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: a rotation guy. This year. The Bubble was his summer loot.

1592
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 1: We had him comed. He lifted every day, he worked out.

1593
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 1: I played three on three, four and four one on

1594
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: one with him. Anything anybody knows anything about Chicago kids.

1595
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: He loved the score of basketball. He has that street

1596
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: ball type games. He has athleticism. He's about six five roughly,

1597
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: but his wingspans like six eleven. He's got long, crazy

1598
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: on so when you get them defensively, he can get

1599
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: to reach. It's like why seeking attack the back. He'll

1600
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,719
Speaker 1: try don't go on you, and he is just that mentality.

1601
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep attacking attempted. Sometimes he attacks too much

1602
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: and get himself in trouble. And that's what we're working on.

1603
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: And as you saw last night, a little bit of him. Man,

1604
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,799
Speaker 1: he's going to play. I said this last year. We're

1605
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: gonna need his energy to a semi two games season.

1606
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,640
Speaker 1: And he's talented. Man. He he has one of the

1607
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: best finishing games on our team. So we're gonna need

1608
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: him now. Jed, we're talking with Jared Dudley, NBA champ. Uh.

1609
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: He's been around the league, just one a title with

1610
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Jared, you're the veteran on this team. Uh.

1611
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: You know well, I look at your roster. You've played everywhere,

1612
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 1: including with the Clippers. I just have to ask Jared,

1613
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: how tense is the relationship with the Clippers. Last night

1614
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: it looked like Pat Beverley was having fun. But I

1615
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: can never tell if they're having fun or these are

1616
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: shots fired. Um, how would you characterize the Lakers Clippers

1617
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: rivalry if it is even a rivalry at this point.

1618
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: It's why I believe this because because the fans wanted

1619
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: to be a rival. You know how the NBA, you've

1620
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: changed so many teams. I played for the Clippers, so

1621
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: to mantres here, so naturally, I used to play with

1622
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Morris. I'm friends with him. But the doesn't mean

1623
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: I like the Lakers. The Clippers organization, so for us,

1624
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: the Laker nation doesn't like them, so I don't like them.

1625
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 1: We want to beat them every time. We're glad they're

1626
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna be there wring ceremony watching that here in the background.

1627
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: We know it's a wilde when it comes to that.

1628
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: But that being said this, they have our respect. They

1629
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: have Kauai, a champion. Paul George, even though he might

1630
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: a struggle, he still all star players. So for us,

1631
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 1: it's real. You just might have a cool readership with

1632
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: one or two players and other teams. I don't want

1633
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: to go after Paul George. I'm not asking you too,

1634
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of eyebrows raised this week

1635
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: when he signed a huge deal. There's a guy who

1636
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 1: is I know he was great in Indie in the

1637
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: postseason going against Lebron's heat, but it was a disaster

1638
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: last year. He did not show up in the bubble.

1639
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 1: He talked a lot of trash to Damian Lillard, then

1640
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: couldn't back it up against Denver. I don't know. You

1641
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: said it's a rivalry between the Clippers and Lakers, but

1642
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: don't the Clippers actually have to prove something before they

1643
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: can say that this is a rivalry. I agree with that.

1644
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 1: I agree with that, But you know it's different regionally.

1645
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 1: When you're college and you played you know, the little

1646
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 1: without that BC, you played b you were still a

1647
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: library and when we won every time, it's because you're

1648
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: in the same conference, in the same you know, same city.

1649
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Paul George. Here goes my GM

1650
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: skills right here, banking of all those first round picks.

1651
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: So I don't know why people are surprised. They have

1652
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 1: no choice. They are all in. And so instead of

1653
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 1: waiting for him and Kuite decide and Francine that everyone's back.

1654
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,560
Speaker 1: So watically, we don't Kauai either quiet and doing a

1655
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: mass extension or if he goes. But if if one

1656
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: of them too less even if Paul George looked at

1657
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,600
Speaker 1: the summertime they didn't signed extension, they would be done that.

1658
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: You can't replace it over the camp so they have

1659
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: to be all in. MM alright, we'll talk to Jared

1660
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: Dudley as the Lakers. Jared, I got you mentioned putting

1661
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 1: on your GM hat. I look around the league and

1662
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: I I thought, you know, maybe Portland had one of

1663
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: the best off seasons of anybody, adding Covington's I'm curious

1664
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 1: with your GM had on looking around the league, who

1665
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: do you think got better? And give me a team

1666
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 1: that got better and one that didn't get better or

1667
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: got worse. Obviously got better. He's got better anytime you

1668
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,679
Speaker 1: had Chris Paul. They added a lot of NBA players

1669
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: with experience drake Ja Crowder at the four that gives him.

1670
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Now start to go to the back of wool works

1671
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: where it kind of he belongs. UM obviously ep Poortland

1672
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: phenomenal because of Covington. They need a wing defender to

1673
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 1: move melt to the bench to adversatility. Now they have

1674
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 1: scoring in the second unit. They struggled second unit. They

1675
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: had a good starters when it dropped off. Adding guys

1676
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: like d Jones through seven two games season that can defend.

1677
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 1: Whos got better? Um, I mean New Orleans and Okay,

1678
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: so he took a little step back having get rid

1679
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 1: of They're going towards the future Utah, Utah. Where they're at.

1680
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 1: Houston is a falloff after James Hardy just traded here

1681
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: in the next ten days. Um, East East Coast Miami

1682
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 1: is still good. They put a good line about Davy.

1683
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 1: I got rid of Crowder, got Avery, Brady got more heartless.

1684
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: They're preperent, prey honest as we all know. Slanto take

1685
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: a step back, lost surge, lost step So it's wide open.

1686
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: It is a wide open things. Yeah, yeah, Brooklyn, it's

1687
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: really top heavy. It's gonna be about six teams maybe seven,

1688
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,639
Speaker 1: have a chance to win a championship here. So Jared Dudley, Uh,

1689
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: you just slipped something in there. James Harden when he

1690
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: gets traded in the next ten days, what leads you

1691
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 1: to believe that he can only go to philil There's

1692
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 1: nowhere else. Brooklyn doesn't have enough. Philly has been Simmons

1693
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: the girl on the league. Denver, no Milwaukee, no Wolsey

1694
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,640
Speaker 1: say Miami. Hero is not enough. You know, if they

1695
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,480
Speaker 1: want to give up Hero, if you Hero and Bam,

1696
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: you can't do it those two. It has to be there.

1697
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: And when you don't want to discard old superstar and

1698
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:35,919
Speaker 1: James Hardens unlike other superstars, not being the most professional,

1699
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 1: not being there how different places a bad look. And

1700
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: when you can get an All Star, it's potential superstar

1701
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 1: capability and Ben Simmons, you gotta take it. They don't happen.

1702
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 1: It's only way. Wow. Now that's surprising to me, because

1703
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, we know Darryl Moray liked stars. Why would

1704
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 1: he give up a star in Ben Simmons when Houston

1705
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,759
Speaker 1: is the one that has to capitulate. To me, they

1706
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 1: don't have any leverage here. They should take whatever pooh

1707
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: poo platter Philly wants to put up or Brooklyn, not

1708
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,320
Speaker 1: that those guys are poo poo there and got two years,

1709
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: James Hardy got two years. I've gotta trade. I I

1710
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 1: know that James would be mad in Houston all years.

1711
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna give us something for James Harden. It's Bill

1712
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 1: James Harden. Now that being saying it's Billy. You don't

1713
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 1: got half the first rounding years years and you got

1714
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 1: rid of players to try to help your camp out,

1715
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 1: rid of out Horse first, rid of uh Richardson. You

1716
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,759
Speaker 1: get hard and you gets really compete for conference finals

1717
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: or going to the finals. You have a chance with him.

1718
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: And then let me let me look at the optimistic side.

1719
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 1: For for Philly when they had Butler, Reddick, Ben Simmons

1720
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,760
Speaker 1: and m Bid two years ago, they lost on a

1721
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 1: game seven fluke shot by Kauai. You know if maybe

1722
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 1: if that doesn't go in, they win it overtime. Uh,

1723
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: and they go up against um you know, the next

1724
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: round and get to the NBA finals. But I don't

1725
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: know why can't it work between Ben and embiad? Is

1726
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 1: it just are the egos too big? No, I don't

1727
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: think you could work. You just don't have enough. They

1728
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: had enough on the head Jimmy. That the problem was

1729
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,560
Speaker 1: that they traded all that from Jimmy without geting reassurance

1730
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 1: that he's gonna sign there. So get you with you Mortgage,

1731
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:04,720
Speaker 1: Covington you Mortgage, sorry, Mortgage always pieces that you could

1732
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: put in trades in first round picks to take Jimmy Butler.

1733
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, as he saw in the last finals, even

1734
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: before he gives you a chance because now when I

1735
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 1: was playing him in first round, he can do pick

1736
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: and roll, he can create his own shot. So with

1737
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,559
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, gonna be after a while, and b gets

1738
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 1: tired of the post being he got improved jumps out

1739
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 1: when the game slows down the playoffs, he's so great

1740
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 1: on the full court, half court. When clunch time, you

1741
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 1: gotta have that third guy. And Jimmy was it would

1742
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 1: be lost him. But while don't you lost Jimmy, it

1743
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: took away your game to the finals and conference finals

1744
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: like there. You can't you can't lose all star player

1745
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:36,680
Speaker 1: and be able to get that back. And that's what

1746
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: that's what James Harden's gills. James Harden can take that.

1747
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: Jared Dudley, NBA champion codrats on the title. Jared, Uh,

1748
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: stay safe out here in l A. Thanks for making

1749
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,240

01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 1: to you soon. Appreciate it. All right. That's Jared Dudley

1751
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 1: of the NBA champion Lakers. I wish I knew he

1752
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 1: was gonna come on and break news that Harden is

1753
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna be caught go to Philly in the next ten days. Uh,

1754
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 1: that was good. You got some good nuggets out of that.

1755
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: I hope the aggregators who were listening are not uh

1756
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean if you're Ben Simmons right now,

1757
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 1: you're ticked off, right, I mean you're liking Philly and

1758
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: I gotta go to Houston. Um wow, um so Isaac,

1759
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess you're gonna be have to

1760
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 1: work in overtime here the rest of the show. Jared Dudley, Now,

1761
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 1: did you like that he's gonna skip the media and

1762
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: go straight to GM. Listen, if Steve Nash can go

1763
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 1: from playing in you know, soccer games, he was in

1764
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 1: a basketball league of mine, a dad's soccer tournament of mine,

1765
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: and now he's coaching in the nets, why can't Jared

1766
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,719
Speaker 1: Dudley go to the front of and said, we need

1767
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 1: the media. That's a direct quote from Jared taking taking

1768
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 1: a dab at Kyrie Irving. We ever considered branching out

1769
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 1: in a player personnel there, Jason Oh, I would love to,

1770
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: but um, you know you kind of need you need

1771
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 1: some experience in that. I don't want to go be

1772
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: a video video game coordinator for the next ten years. Well,

1773
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 1: a video game coordinator would be much more fun than

1774
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: being a video coordinator. Sit back and play Madden all

1775
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 1: the time. I met a video like you're you're breaking

1776
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 1: down videos of the game, like video game coordinator better

1777
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:05,599
Speaker 1: that that might be just as if I'm not good

1778
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 1: enough as a video game player, I'm good at two K.

1779
01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, anyways, all right, well we'll come back and

1780
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: digest some of what Jared Dudley said. Whoof little jab

1781
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 1: at Kymie Irving? There? I like that? All right, that's

1782
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 1: next year on the Jason McIntire show, Fox Sports Radio,

1783
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 1: No video games at the table. College football. It's early.

1784
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 1: I was saying, did you see that Illinois Northwestern meltdown?

1785
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: So Northwestern fumbled like its own five yard line. Illinois

1786
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 1: gets the ball and they missed a field goal? Like,

1787
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 1: how bad is this team? I know it's early, and

1788
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:45,799
Speaker 1: goodness gracious, nobody cares. Well Northwestern has the West Division

1789
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: wrapped up. They're gonna be in the title game, so

1790
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 1: they could lose this game. It doesn't matter. They're not

1791
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: that good, are they? Northwestern? They're pretty good team. Who's

1792
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 1: they're lost to? The lost came to Michigan State. Lack

1793
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,559
Speaker 1: of consistency its football there, it Isn't you need the

1794
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,559
Speaker 1: non con to beef up those schedules? Yeah, that's just

1795
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 1: non con. Love it also love that Jared Dudley just

1796
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,759
Speaker 1: said James Harden will get traded to Philadelphia. Now, Gavin,

1797
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 1: where are you on the level of that's happening versus

1798
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 1: I gotta see it to believe it versus Yeah, I

1799
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 1: can see that happening certainly. Um I I think he's

1800
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 1: spot on that that Philly will be the place. Um

1801
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 1: that that he will get traded to. Interesting, he had

1802
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:32,640
Speaker 1: the timeline on it, so clearly the you know, the

1803
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 1: two sides are trying to make it uncomfortable. Um. I'd

1804
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,600
Speaker 1: love to play you back some of the audio of

1805
01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:42,600
Speaker 1: of Jared Deley talking about James Harden. Yeah, we'll do

1806
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 1: that right now. He can only go to Philly with

1807
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 1: nowhere else. Brooklyn doesn't have enough Philly has been Simmons.

1808
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 1: We'll go on the league Denver, no Milwaukee, no Miami

1809
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:54,599
Speaker 1: heroes not enough. You don't want to keep up hero

1810
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 1: if you hero in Bam, you can't do two. But

1811
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 1: it has to be there and you you don't want

1812
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: to discarded superstar. And James Harden's unlike other superstars, not

1813
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 1: being the most professional, not being there. How different places

1814
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:12,559
Speaker 1: to bad look and when you can get an all star,

1815
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:16,559
Speaker 1: its potential superstar capability and Ben Simmons, you've gotta take it.

1816
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: They don't happen. So, Gavin, would you trade bam At

1817
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 1: a bio and or Tyler hero for James Harden's So

1818
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: I guess part of it depends on the length of

1819
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: the contract, right, I mean Tyler Heroes twenty? Yeah? And

1820
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:35,599
Speaker 1: how much do you want James Harden at? I mean, yeah,

1821
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:38,760
Speaker 1: exactly at that price tag. I don't know, especially his

1822
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 1: style of play, like his athleticism is key. So and

1823
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: by the way, with how he has partied so much

1824
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:49,840
Speaker 1: during his career, including recently, what is his body going

1825
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: to look like at compared to Lebron? Right? I mean,

1826
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: Lebron puts more effort into his body since anyone since

1827
01:35:56,520 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 1: Kobe Right and I just anybody can say it, gonna

1828
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:01,720
Speaker 1: work out and get my body in shape and then

1829
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 1: actually doing it and followed through for a year, two three,

1830
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 1: That's difficult, man. And like I know, people are saying, well,

1831
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 1: so what Tyler who was twenty is he gonna lead

1832
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: the league in scoring? What is that got in James Harden?

1833
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,600
Speaker 1: What has that gott in him? Thirty five points a

1834
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 1: game and he can't get out of the second round

1835
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:22,720
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. I don't know. Man. All right, we'll

1836
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: get back to Harden a sect. But Dudley had some

1837
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: thoughts on Kyrie Irving Man, Kyrie who I've also watched

1838
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 1: Kylie statement crazy and when comes to media, we need

1839
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: the media. So actually saw it equal. For one, Kyrie

1840
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal player. He thinks differently, but he wanted

1841
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:42,760
Speaker 1: out of Cleveland. There's no one that wins a championship

1842
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 1: and they're young and once out, so obviously there was

1843
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 1: some something that was neglected. I'm not happy he shot

1844
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 1: the most shots they won a championship. He hit the

1845
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:54,599
Speaker 1: greatest club shot maybe in the history, definitely in Cleveland history.

1846
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,519
Speaker 1: And then now you know kis his buddies so and

1847
01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: hYP him up, kV and himself, the media U and

1848
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: we all can see it is a shot, and Kylie

1849
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: knows what's going on in me. That's just on Hire. Yeah, Kyrie,

1850
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: you can't take shots at the Lakers. That's Jared Dudley

1851
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio moments ago from the NBA Champion,

1852
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 1: World Champion l A Lakers. Uh, Kyrie's put himself in

1853
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:18,800
Speaker 1: a bad spot. I know he was a cool guy

1854
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:22,040
Speaker 1: who did the uncle Drew thing and everybody kind of

1855
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 1: liked it and he went viral and he was he

1856
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:27,519
Speaker 1: was he was a cool guy. I know that sounds

1857
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:29,639
Speaker 1: nerder to say, but like players liked him, they want

1858
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:31,960
Speaker 1: to be around him, and I don't know if he's

1859
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: he's losing that now with some of these comments taking

1860
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 1: a jab at Lebron my gosh um. The other thing

1861
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: that Dudley said that was interesting was playoff p Paul George.

1862
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: This guy's a choke artist. Now I'm kidding, Paul George

1863
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: is a good player. But here's what Dudley had to

1864
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: say things about Paul George. Here goes my GM skills

1865
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,560
Speaker 1: right here, banking up all those first round picks. So

1866
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why people are surprised. They have no choice.

1867
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 1: They're all in. And so instead of waiting for him

1868
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: and Kauaie decide and Frenzy the new ones back. So

1869
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 1: we see we don't and doing a mass extension or

1870
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: if he goes. But if if one of them to less,

1871
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: even if Paul George looked in the summer time they

1872
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: didn't signed extension, they would be done that. You can't

1873
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: replace it over the camp. So they have to be

1874
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 1: all in. Let me just give you the numbers on

1875
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: Paul George Games seven against Denver Nuggets the second round

1876
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, the guy that just gave a munch

1877
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 1: of money, hundred hundred seventy six million. Game seven, Paul

1878
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:33,879
Speaker 1: George four for sixteen ten points, like Kevin if Lebron

1879
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 1: had laid an egg of that magnitude. I don't know

1880
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:42,759
Speaker 1: how he bounces back from the game seven four sixteen

1881
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 1: ten points. This is a guy who when he was

1882
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 1: with Russell Westbrook when they got bounced by the Jazz

1883
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:53,799
Speaker 1: in the first round. In the final game of that series,

1884
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: Paul George two for sixteen, five points. And again, I

1885
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 1: think Paul George is the top fifteen player. Is he

1886
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: clutching anymore? I don't know that. I think that's open

1887
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:06,680
Speaker 1: to interpretation. Biggest game of the season, they choke it

1888
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 1: away against Denver in Game seven and playoff p goes

1889
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 1: four for sixteen for ten points. Like that, that just

1890
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 1: cannot happen, Like it's sorry to be mean. You cannot

1891
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 1: have your superstar have a melt of that magnitude in

1892
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: a game seven. This is the only thing I'll say.

1893
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 1: It was a weird season. The Clippers didn't want to

1894
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: be in the bubble from the start. We remember that

1895
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: they had all those chemistry issues, guys not wanting to

1896
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:37,240
Speaker 1: be there. Look, playoff p I mean, you cannot trust

1897
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 1: Paul George as your number one. I think going into

1898
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,360
Speaker 1: this season, I think they got better by subtraction. I

1899
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 1: think they're going to have better chemistry. I like Cannard Um,

1900
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:48,679
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be a better team this season. Also,

1901
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 1: he won't have a weird offseason where he didn't get

1902
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,640
Speaker 1: to practice. He's gotten to practice this whole time. But

1903
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 1: this is the year. I mean, this is the year

1904
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:59,759
Speaker 1: that he's got to put the doubters away, no doubt. Um,

1905
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 1: I do wonder like he did have the shoulder surgery

1906
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:06,600
Speaker 1: and last off season coming in, so he never he

1907
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: took a while to get up to speed. So yeah,

1908
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: maybe he's fine. But let me ask, do you think

1909
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 1: they got better with Ibaka and replacing Harold? Yeah, without

1910
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:18,519
Speaker 1: a doubt. Anyone who watched the Clippers Nuggets series saw

1911
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:22,280
Speaker 1: that Harold was basically unplayable and part of the reason

1912
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: I think DC Rivers got you know, they parted ways, right,

1913
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he got fired technically was his insistence

1914
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: to play him against Yo Kitchen Yokich just ate him up,

1915
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 1: so I do. Look and Imbaka back with Kauai, you know,

1916
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:41,000
Speaker 1: rim protector. I think it'll be a good match. Um

1917
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: not saying they're better than the Lakers. I'm not saying that.

1918
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think they're better than last What

1919
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: about Horton Tucker last night. I know it's pre season.

1920
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm not getting two gee um at anyway, all right,

1921
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,360
Speaker 1: coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, we're bringing

1922
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: in a pawn Um to talk about a little more NBA.

1923
01:40:56,240 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 1: College football is happening. Alabama, Arkansas thrilling three three games,

1924
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,840
Speaker 1: Colorado down seven, nothing in the snow. I like a

1925
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 1: good snow game against Utah. But first let's go to

1926
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Isaac Low. What's trending, Jason. We start with a developing

1927

Speaker 1: Memorial Hospital after collapsing on the court at the end

1930
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: of a time out early in today's game at Florida State.

1931
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 1: Johnson was then taken off the court on a stretcher

1932
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 1: of the game subsequently continued again. Florida forward Kyante Johnson

1933
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: in critical but stable condition at a Tallahassee hospital after

Speaker 1: collapsing after a time out early in today's game at

1935
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:47,639

1946
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 1: Toungua Byloa and three other Maryland players, including leading tackler

1947
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 1: Chance Campbell, were late scratches for this game due to

1948
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 1: medical reasons. Jason back to you, Thank you, Isaac, and

Speaker 1: car insurance with Geico. Go to Geico dot com call

1953
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: one eight nine seven otto. The only hard part figuring

1954
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:52,599
Speaker 1: out which way is easier. All right, our next guest

1955
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: is a pawn. I'm a rook. Gavin is a night uh,

1956
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk a little NBA with him. Kurt

1957
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 1: Highland from nd he See Sports a k A Basketball

1958
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 1: Talk Court. Kurt, good morning, how are you? I absolutely

1959
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 1: am upon, I'm good. I don't even I'm not even

1960
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,479
Speaker 1: really and honestly not really even questioning it. I just

1961
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 1: not one of those ponds. I'm just hoping not to

1962
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:14,960
Speaker 1: be the pond that gets sacrificed in like the first

1963
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 1: four moves. Obviously a Queen's gam big guy, as I'm

1964
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:21,639
Speaker 1: sure Kyrie Irving is Kurt. Before we get to Kyrie,

1965
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 1: I want to start here. So we just had Jared

1966
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 1: Dudley on and he seemed pretty emphatic. He said that

1967
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 1: h James Harden is gonna get traded in in the

1968
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: next ten days. Wow, and he will be going to Philly.

1969
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 1: Surprised me a little bit. Uh, you know, I guess

1970
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 1: this is the chatter around the league. Where are you

1971
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 1: on the hardened Rockets situation right now? Jared, Jared has

1972
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: good like Jared knows more than I do in that sense,

1973
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 1: probably I would be surprised. I've been told Philadelphia wants

1974
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,400
Speaker 1: to see how this works, that they want to see

1975
01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 1: what Ben Simmons and Joel mb looked like next to

1976
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 1: each other. Because the only package, the only trade package

1977
01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 1: it works is sending Ben Simmons out and um, you know,

1978
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 1: and then Matie Stable and you know, shake Milton, he

1979
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 1: just picks it makes a thing fit. But um, I'm

1980
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I was told that they weren't going to do that,

1981
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm wrong. Maybe maybe they just decided Doc

1982
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 1: Rivers and Darryl Moore has always been aggressive and they

1983
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: just go for it. Um, if he gets away with this,

1984
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: it's it's a new level of player empowerment. It's like

1985
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: because Anthony Davis did it, but he had a year

1986
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 1: and a half left so he could literally really put

1987
01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 1: pressure on the organization. That the Rockets don't feel that

1988
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 1: level of pressure yet, I don't think. I mean, they

1989
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 1: want a really good deal and they're not going to

1990
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:40,640
Speaker 1: take you know, sixty cents on the dollar. Here. The

1991
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 1: other part of that is that Anthony Davis had Rich Paul,

1992
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: and in the sense that Rich Paul is like Anthony,

1993
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:53,000
Speaker 1: go go go to show up and play, show up

1994
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 1: and you know, do everything right, say all the right things.

1995
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:57,720
Speaker 1: Just say, you know, I don't want to talk about that.

1996
01:44:57,720 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: That's my agent. But show up and be there with

1997
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 1: your team. I'll take all those slings in there. I'll

1998
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:04,920
Speaker 1: take the arrows. I'll stand out here and be the

1999
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: bad guy. Harden Haim had that. He's been the bad

2000
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: guy and it has not been terribly forgiving for him.

2001
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I tried, Kurt. I tried to

2002
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 1: remind Jared. I said, hey, listen, man, the Sixers two

2003
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 1: years ago, with Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler, Joel and b

2004
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick pushed the Raptors to Game seven and lost

2005
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 1: on like a fluke Lucky Kawhi Leonard Chatt Leonard wasn't

2006
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:29,800
Speaker 1: particularly good in that game. I thought the Sixers blew

2007
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: it at the end of regulation. I uh, you know,

2008
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 1: weird me sometimes watched the the final four minutes on

2009
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: YouTube and I'm like, how did the Sixers screw this up? Um?

2010
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:40,559
Speaker 1: But like it worked that year for Simmons and embied.

2011
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 1: Why can't they figure it out again? I don't know.

2012
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: It just seems odd that Darryl Morey would ship a

2013
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:49,760
Speaker 1: superstar out when he loves and covet superstars. Yeah, exactly.

2014
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:52,600
Speaker 1: And Harden. Remember, Harden's only got two years left on

2015
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:56,000
Speaker 1: his deal. He You've got Ben Simmons just starting his extension,

2016
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,840
Speaker 1: so he you've got him locked up for five. There's

2017
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:02,080
Speaker 1: a you know, a seven years younger eight years younger,

2018
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,679
Speaker 1: like it's there are a lot of reasons to see

2019
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: if you can make the Ben Simmons thing work. You know.

2020
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:09,719
Speaker 1: Part of that The reason it worked for them that

2021
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 1: that season is they had Jimmy Butler, and the question

2022
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 1: is can you do it with just Simmons and embiid

2023
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:17,720
Speaker 1: and then you know it's Tobias Harris your third and

2024
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 1: wherever you go from there, is that good enough? Or

2025
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:22,040
Speaker 1: do you need another Jimmy Butler or do you need

2026
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: to you need to move stuff around and make this,

2027
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, bring in a hardener or or whomever you're gonna,

2028
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, aggressively go after. I still think they're going

2029
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 1: to try to make it work for half a season.

2030
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 1: I've I've always thought Harden doesn't get moved till the

2031
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:39,160
Speaker 1: deadline and maybe even next offseason, just because the teams

2032
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about Brooklyn, Brooklyn's not throwing in that, they're

2033
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: not throwing in Kyrie Irving, even though they might consider it,

2034
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:47,000
Speaker 1: might have considered it. I don't think they can break

2035
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 1: that pack pair up with with Kauai and I don't

2036
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 1: think Harris LeVert gets it done. I don't think Miami

2037
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 1: is making a deal unless you're gonna take again sixty

2038
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,000
Speaker 1: cents on if you're gonna take Tyler hero and I

2039
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: like Tyler hero a lot, But if you're gonna take

2040
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:02,719
Speaker 1: Tyler hero A p James Harden, the whole Miami stuff,

2041
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 1: k does it really fit? Does that culture that pat

2042
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 1: Riley has developed there with Spolstra, I mean Harden in

2043
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 1: South Beach? We know that he had issues on the

2044
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: Houston nightclub scene in the strip club run. How's he

2045
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,320
Speaker 1: going to handle South Beach? And like pat Riley bam

2046
01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 1: out of bio, Jimmy Butler is that he's like a

2047
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:22,519
Speaker 1: boss there. You don't mess around, uh, And they don't. Yeah,

2048
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: they don't. Let look for the last how long has

2049
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:27,679
Speaker 1: you been there? Eight years? But most of the last

2050
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 1: six years or so. What James Harden has wanted in Houston,

2051
01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 1: James Harden has gotten this is this is a culture

2052
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:38,679
Speaker 1: built around him. Miami's culture is built around Miami's culture

2053
01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:41,679
Speaker 1: and pat Riley and and and the tone. They said,

2054
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler fits in beautifully with that, And I'm with you.

2055
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if James Harden, because they don't bend it.

2056
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,639
Speaker 1: They're not They couldn't. They didn't bend it for Lebron,

2057
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: like they're not bending it for you, James Harden, You're

2058
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: going to come here and you're going to fit in.

2059
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 1: And I think that that's a legitimate question for that

2060
01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:00,599
Speaker 1: for them. At the end of the day, I'd probably

2061
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:02,760
Speaker 1: still do it for Tyler Hero, even if I think

2062
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: this might go sideways, because if I'm Miami, that boy

2063
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:11,439
Speaker 1: suddenly Jimmy Butler and James Harden, That's that's hard to

2064
01:48:11,439 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 1: say no to. Um. I mean that's just for me,

2065
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:16,640
Speaker 1: that would be hard. That's a lot of talent that

2066
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 1: would be really hard to say no to. And you

2067
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 1: could try to make it work for a couple of years. Um,

2068
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 1: It's but I mean what I like Tyler Hero. I

2069
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 1: just don't think Tyler Hero. I like Tyler Hero a lot,

2070
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,839
Speaker 1: but I just don't think he's a perennial m VP candidate.

2071
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:34,200
Speaker 1: Now the line we start getting to the Boston situation

2072
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: with like, well, why didn't they trede Tatum or why

2073
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:38,880
Speaker 1: didn't they treade Jalen Brown? Well, I think Tatum has

2074
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:40,920
Speaker 1: a chance to be an NBA m v P, and

2075
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: I think Jayalen Brown can definitely be a number two

2076
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 1: on an NBA champion. I don't know if it happens,

2077
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 1: I would, I would. I think that they need, you know,

2078
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 1: that team like they this year, they just need Kemba

2079
01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 1: Walker to stay healthy. They need to get some good

2080
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:55,560
Speaker 1: play at the five with Trispan Thompson and stuff. But

2081
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:58,760
Speaker 1: I think they're absolutely think there's a there's just a

2082
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:01,680
Speaker 1: concern with me this year about them losing Gordon Hay.

2083
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 1: Would you lose some versatility? Like you just that guy

2084
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 1: could still even the shell of himself he isn't. I

2085
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:08,840
Speaker 1: don't think he just you know, I would have paid

2086
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 1: him three million dollars a year. The guy could still

2087
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 1: create and still knocked down shots and do some stuff.

2088
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:14,600
Speaker 1: And they've got to find a way to make this

2089
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: roster kind of fit around Brown and Tatum. I would

2090
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: not have charited them, but I am a little surprised

2091
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,640
Speaker 1: they didn't do a trade for I mean, ultimately, well,

2092
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:24,559
Speaker 1: I guess it was a sign and trade for ye Um,

2093
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 1: for him, but for Hayward. But I was surprised they

2094
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:29,600
Speaker 1: didn't like take in Diana's offer. And I would have

2095
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: taken Miles Turner and Doug McDermott and done it. Yeah,

2096
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's Kurt. Let's get to Kyrie Irving real quick. Um,

2097
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: it seems to be unraveling for Kyrie. Uh. This is

2098
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:43,599
Speaker 1: a guy who's so talented. I don't know if they

2099
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 1: all went to his head, but I mean he is

2100
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: just you know, from getting coaches fired, not wanting to

2101
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,680
Speaker 1: play with Lebron, not wanting to play with Brad Stevens.

2102
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 1: We need more players taking shots at Lebron, Like. I

2103
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a cry for help or something,

2104
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 1: but what do you think the nets locker rooms thing?

2105
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 1: Looking at these Kyrie Irving comments almost weakly, he's saying

2106
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:07,479
Speaker 1: some dumb stuff. Yeah, I Kyrie is actually generally well

2107
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 1: liked in locker rooms. He's he's he is honest, He's

2108
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:13,600
Speaker 1: fourth right, It's just I don't know that he I

2109
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:15,759
Speaker 1: don't know that he ever really learned to play He's

2110
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 1: a he's really actually a smart guy. I just don't

2111
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:19,759
Speaker 1: know that he's ever really learned to play the game

2112
01:50:20,280 --> 01:50:23,639
Speaker 1: um of dealing with the media and how to use

2113
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: them to further your brand and your cause. Just it's

2114
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 1: a guy, you know, Lebron has figured it out. Curry.

2115
01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't want I would say Curry figured out. I

2116
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 1: think Curry that's just kind of naturally who he is, right,

2117
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:37,080
Speaker 1: like they kind of understand what this how this has

2118
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 1: got to work, and some guys kind of evolved into that,

2119
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 1: like Lebron current. It's not just yeah, Kyrie, you just

2120
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's not even the pond thing as much

2121
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 1: as just like you, not speaking to the media just

2122
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 1: becomes a thing, and it becomes divisive, and it becomes

2123
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 1: a distraction when you're trying to limit distractions, where if

2124
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: you just go and talk for five minutes and stay cliches,

2125
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 1: you know, is fun. No, occasionally you're gonna want to

2126
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 1: break out with I'm sure, but you've just got to

2127
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 1: pick your spots and be smarter about it. And I'm

2128
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,720
Speaker 1: just not sure that this helps his brand or his

2129
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 1: cause that much. It's way, way, way, way early. Well,

2130
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:17,360
Speaker 1: let me ask you, uh, Kurt, who do you like

2131
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:20,800
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals? But by the way, would you

2132
01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 1: trade Kyrie for Harding? Um? I would, Yeah, I do

2133
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 1: kind of like I would. I would. Um, I don't

2134
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:29,559
Speaker 1: person in a vacuum, I would do it. I don't

2135
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,360
Speaker 1: think they can, but I would do it. Um. Look,

2136
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 1: I think the Lakers are on their own tier. I

2137
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 1: think the Lakers come out of the West. Um, they

2138
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: are not only defending champions, just added the two top

2139
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:42,040
Speaker 1: vot getters for six Men of the Year. I I

2140
01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:45,599
Speaker 1: think that they are as good or actually, frankly with Shrewder,

2141
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 1: I think better than they were last year. Um. I

2142
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: have Maybe the Clippers can pull it all together. And

2143
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:53,559
Speaker 1: I think with kwhi Leonard because he's one of the

2144
01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 1: handful of guys who can play at a lebron level

2145
01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 1: for a stretch of time in a playoff series. We

2146
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:00,120
Speaker 1: saw it in Toronto, We've seen it before. If I've

2147
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 1: got him playing at that level, then you've got a chance.

2148
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Denver's there yet, But I just

2149
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 1: I like the Lakers out of the West and the East.

2150
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:11,719
Speaker 1: I keep saying the Bucks because I just at least

2151
01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,200
Speaker 1: at least I know what they are, and I don't

2152
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:16,679
Speaker 1: you know, I think through holiday helps them in playoff matchups.

2153
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit more threes. He's a he's a really

2154
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: good defender. But if you told me Brooklyn got in there,

2155
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 1: or even Boston I like, or frankly Philadelphia, like any

2156
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,360
Speaker 1: of those, any of those three teams, it all comes

2157
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:32,559
Speaker 1: together for them and actually works. I mean, I would

2158
01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: not be stunned, like I think they're all capable. I

2159
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:37,599
Speaker 1: just have more questions about them. At least I choosing

2160
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:40,120
Speaker 1: Milwaukee just because I kind of know who they are.

2161
01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: But I don't feel I don't feel comfortable with the

2162
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:43,840
Speaker 1: East at all. A lot of change in the East, right,

2163
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:48,600
Speaker 1: Good stuff healing from NBC Sports A k A Basketball

2164
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: talk on Twitter. Kurt, have a great weekend, many holidays

2165
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 1: you too, take care Interesting. I'm with him largely. The

2166
01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 1: East is wide open. But man, this James Harden thing,

2167
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 1: it's taken off. If Harden does go to Philly, are

2168
01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 1: they the team to beat in the in the East.

2169
01:53:05,479 --> 01:53:08,679
Speaker 1: Jared Dudley just came on our radio show and said, Hey, Harden,

2170
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 1: he's going he is going to get traded to Philly

2171
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:15,920
Speaker 1: for Ben Simmons. Is that the talk among NBA players.

2172
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:17,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next year. As we wrap up

2173
01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:24,040
Speaker 1: the show on Fox Sports Radio, Alabama's DeVonta Smith just

2174
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 1: took a punt return to the house. I think it

2175
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 1: was like sixty five yards. That dude is nasty. I've

2176
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: got him. I just did a mock draft for Fox Sports.

2177
01:53:32,080 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 1: I've got him in the top fifteen. Kid is really talented. Um,

2178
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:38,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing Jerry Judy play well in Denver. You know

2179
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 1: when he gets a touch given the crappy quarterback situation there.

2180
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:45,760
Speaker 1: All right, Um, let's go to the Geico Play of

2181
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,920
Speaker 1: the Day. Daniels in the pocket, plenty of time, pulls

2182
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:50,680
Speaker 1: it down, now throws it. Caught my Cook up in

2183
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:56,120
Speaker 1: the middle. He's got running room. Fifty ten five pinzon Yeah,

2184
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 1: I got there as he's being hit up crossing the

2185
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:03,760
Speaker 1: goal line. James Cook at the touchdown. Georgia Bulldogs touchdown.

2186
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:06,719

Speaker 1: a home and it wasn't It's not that fun, guys.

2196
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 1: There's so much work involved, and I don't like doing

2197
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:35,680
Speaker 1: yardwork and stuff like that. That's just not my m O.

2198

Speaker 1: hang with my kids. I wanna watch them do sports.

2200
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 1: I want to play sports myself. Why would I want

2201
01:54:43,240 --> 01:54:46,640
Speaker 1: to do yardwork? Like, it's not just yardwork, it's like

2202
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 1: cleaning up garbage around the house. Like I don't know,

2203
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm just owning a home the little overrated. I know

2204
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:55,920
Speaker 1: there are major financial benefits. Um uh you know, but

2205
01:54:57,840 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean I want to own a home, obviously, but

2206
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 1: want to own something new where I I don't gotta

2207
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:05,160
Speaker 1: do any of that other stuff anyways. Uh, coming up

2208
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: after this show in a few minutes, up on Game

2209
01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 1: LaVar Arrington, Hushman Zada, Plaxico Burris. It's a pretty filthy trio,

2210
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 1: you know. Um, I guess they're having. Al Harrington's stopping by.

2211
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:23,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll confirm our Jared Dudley report or scoopage from

2212
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 1: like forty five minutes ago. Jared Dudley came on this

2213
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:29,400
Speaker 1: show and said that James Harden will be traded to

2214
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in the next ten days. Jared Dudley also opened

2215
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 1: the show saying it may not be in the future

2216
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:37,800
Speaker 1: media member, I might just go right to GM. Uh.

2217
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of relationships around the league. He Uh,

2218
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:44,520
Speaker 1: pretty smart guy, having went to Boston College, and he's

2219
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's been East West, He's been around Nash

2220
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,280
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, he was around some really good teams in Phoenix,

2221
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:54,200
Speaker 1: and of course now spending time with the Lakers and Lebron.

2222
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're getting basically a master's class in in

2223
01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 1: the NBA when you're around Lebron. And that's why the

2224
01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,760
Speaker 1: Kyrie stuff is so damn puzzling. I just shocked that

2225
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 1: Kyrie would not want to be around Lebron, and that

2226
01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 1: just shows to me it's just an ego thing, like dude,

2227
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm better than you. Um, I don't want to be

2228
01:56:12,720 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: on your I don't want to be on your team.

2229
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:22,280
Speaker 1: I want to do my own thing. Um. So yeah,

2230
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:26,800
Speaker 1: it's just a weird, weird situation with Kyrie Irving and

2231
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:29,560
Speaker 1: and do we have the Lebron audio? Can we play that? Yes?

2232
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 1: All right, here's Lebron taking a shot at Kyrie. I

2233
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 1: was a little like, like damn once I got the

2234
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 1: whole trans cap. But I was like damn. You know,

2235
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:41,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't like all you tripp in hit game when

2236
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 1: it shots my whole life. I was not like that.

2237
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 1: I was like damn, because, um, you you were there

2238
01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons. I mean I played with

2239
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:53,320
Speaker 1: Kyrie for three seasons. The whole time while I was there, Um,

2240
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 1: I only wanted to see him be an m v

2241
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:58,960
Speaker 1: P of our league. I only cared about his success

2242
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:03,320
Speaker 1: and and um, and it just didn't align. It just

2243
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:06,080
Speaker 1: didn't align. And we was able to win a championship. Yeah,

2244
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 1: that's the craziest thing. We were still able to win

2245
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 1: a championship and we could never align. But I only

2246
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,360
Speaker 1: cared about his well being, both both on and off

2247
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 1: the floor. And and it kind of like it kind

2248
01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 1: of hurted me a little bit, a little bit, a

2249
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,720
Speaker 1: little bit. Kyrie Irving did win Jack Squat until Lebron

2250
01:57:22,760 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 1: got there, couldn't win a damn thing. Then he leaves Lebron.

2251
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 1: What has he done since then? One one playoff series

2252
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 1: in Boston. That's it. That's it. One playoff series win

2253
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 1: without Lebron. This idea that Kyrie Irving is the top

2254
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,520
Speaker 1: ten player in the league is total garbage. He's not.

2255
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:42,120
Speaker 1: He's talented, but he's not top ten. He doesn't make

2256
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 1: anyone around the better. He's out there for Kyrie Irving.

2257
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 1: That's it. I gotta get mine. That's what Kyrie Irving's about.

2258
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 1: And you don't. You don't really see that selfishness in

2259
01:57:52,240 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 1: the NFL as much. Um. I think Baker Mayfield had

2260
01:57:56,680 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 1: some some issues. When he has one good year, then

2261
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:02,640
Speaker 1: he is in more commercials than any other player in

2262
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 1: the league, and I think that rubbed some people the

2263
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:08,520
Speaker 1: wrong way. But that's a little different than Kyrie Irving.

2264
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to pass the ball. I need to score.

2265
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 1: I need to get buckets, I need the ball and

2266
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:16,000
Speaker 1: clutch situations like it's just weird, you know, just very strange.

2267
01:58:16,080 --> 01:58:20,400
Speaker 1: And uh, I'll be honest, guys, I I kind of

2268
01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:22,760
Speaker 1: like how the NFL is has stamped that out. There's

2269
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 1: none of that. Like there is wide receiver diva stuff.

2270
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure Plexico and Who's can talk to that, um,

2271
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:32,080
Speaker 1: but there's less It seems like less of it this year.

2272
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 1: The Odell stuff is kind of once O'Dell went down

2273
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:38,360
Speaker 1: that road. What the Giants do? They just traded shipped

2274
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:40,120
Speaker 1: amount of talent, Like, we don't want that headache. Julio

2275
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 1: Jones superstar, he doesn't really display the diva tendencies as

2276
01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 1: Bryant did it in Dallas bounce from the league. So

2277
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 1: I just don't know that people are willing to stomach

2278
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:53,560
Speaker 1: that as much unless you're an absolute superstar and they

2279
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 1: can't win without you. And I don't know, we'll see

2280
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:00,000
Speaker 1: if that even exists at wide receiver or running back anymore.

2281
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 1: You know. Um, college football in the snow right now,

2282
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 1: watching on the screen up on game coming up here

Speaker 1: in a few minutes. I hope everybody has its safe

2284
01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:12,240
Speaker 1: damn holiday. The COVID stuff is getting ugly out there.

2285
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:16,960
Speaker 1: Try to stay safe, stay active? Um can you do

2286
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 1: both at the same time? I don't know. I have

2287
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 1: no idea. So today I'm gonna maybe watch college football definitely.

2288
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,240
Speaker 1: I just texted the wife. We are finishing up the

2289
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:29,040
Speaker 1: undoing so that I can talk about it with Gavin

2290
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:32,360
Speaker 1: as opposed to just talk around it. Um. I can't

2291
01:59:32,360 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 1: even do spoilers because like anything you say about that

2292
01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 1: show is a spoiler. Um, but you'll never Oh, okay, okay, alright,
