19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: The Lakers big win streak has been ended.

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: It's over.

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: They're no longer back in a real Yeah, they regressed terribly.

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: It's over. They regressed horribly.

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 4: It's over. I didn't have magic and Kareem No.

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: It was tough. Magic was too busy tweeting about his

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: friend Michael Jordan today. No Worthy, no Wilkes. Yeah, that

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: was tough one. It was tough today.

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 4: Rambis was on the bench.

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep, yep. He forgot his goggles so he

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: couldn't play. No Chuck Nevitt. I mean he needed something

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: to bring in some big minutes off the bench, and

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't there either. Ronny showed grit though, Oh it

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: was gritty down sixteen and the third. I just really

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: wanted to see that thirty five foot fade away turn

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: around jump shot fall just had absolute chaos. Luke Luca possession.

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that that Luca final possession for

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers that looked big game In the NBA Tonight

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: one thirteen, one ten, the Pistons beat the Lakers. Luka

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Dancic had a chance to the game in the final

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: nine seconds, couldn't really get a good look. Was d'd

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: up pretty good and his three did not go. So

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: the Lakers, Hey, you're gonna lose once in a while.

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Look they're twenty games over five hundred. This streak the

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks has come out of nowhere. Lucas

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: still in what's an off night for him, goes for

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: thirty two, seven rebound, six assists, didn't shoot particularly well

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: tonight was bad from three, but still, here's a night

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: where the Lakers are tired. You're missing two of your

48
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: rotation guys. Yes, the Pistons were missing Kid Cunningham tonight,

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: so it's one of those. Okay, whatever this game is,

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: it is. But I'll tell you what I saw more

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: about the Lakers in defeat tonight than about the Pistons,

52
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: who I just kind of expect to win games like this.

53
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Are you afraid of Frostberg? Now that's the question I

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: have to ask, because you're being really, really complimentary and

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: loving on the Lakers, and it's almost like you're you're

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: afraid he's gonna hit you. It's because we've taught Look,

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Luca should be the MVP. He probably will be the MVP,

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: and coming into Look, he's the only player that we

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: really talk about in the NBA over the course of

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: the past few weeks. Now it's it's okay, Sga is

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: gonna get to the games to be m v P.

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: Luca has become the Alpha and Omega for all NBA talk.

63
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Look at where this week that the the rescinded technical

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: foul was everywhere. That's insane, by the way, everywhere. But

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: the fact that this is what this is the third

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: time I think he's had his sixteenth technical that seems

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: and in this case it's a he said versus he said.

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Because nobody else understands what they're saying to each other.

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: My whole family eyes that I have sex with his fan.

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: What the hell are we talking about? Just listen? Can

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: we just just get rid of the technical? Okay, that's fine.

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: You called the technical. You've got nothing to disprove it.

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: What are you gonna say? Doesn't make sense to me.

74
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a great comparison for you. You ever

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: see burn After reading very underading, I need to get

76
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: back And I sadded.

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: When, uh? When?

78
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: When? Who was? What character was that comes into JK.

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Simmons office at the end and ask them for or

80
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: like a bunch of like and JK. Simmons is is

81
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, in the government, and he's just like okaying

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: stuff the entire movie and and someone comes in and says,

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: I want this and it sounds ridiculous, and he goes,

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, what we just you know what, I don't care.

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Pay it whatever, he's his blanket and pay it. I

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care. Like he's done right. I

87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: think that's where it is. You know what, you said

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: this about someone's family and who's family, and now we

89
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: got pictures of people's family onto you know what, Just

90
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: rescind it. Re fine, Let's just let's move on. This

91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. Let's rescind it. Just risen it, move on,

92
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: but move on. Keep him from being suspended. So he

93
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: plays tonight, didn't shoot particularly well and they're win over

94
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: the weekend against Orlando, but doesn't matter. They get the

95
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: w tonight. Fun fourth quarter, I mean we were watching

96
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: it waiting on the red light to come on, and

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, fun, thrilling, tear drop jump shots and big

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: possessions down the stretch. And you'll be happy to know.

99
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: Current odds shake Gilgus Alexander minus fifteen hundred. That's down

100
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: from minus two thousand, Luca up to twelve to one,

101
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: twelve to one, Wemby thirty three to one. Drifting, drifting,

102
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: waving goodbye, Lucas, reeling it is. It doesn't matter how

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: great I am Lucas really all my heroics over here,

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: last second shot the other night, nobody gave a damn well. Look.

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is that Wemby with the Games

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: has become a thing. I remember, the Games has become

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: a thing right so many people. That's why Sga is

108
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: the leader because it's well, he won last year, they're

109
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: just as good this year and he's gonna get to

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: sixty five games. Okay, that's really the level we're at.

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: But Luca has seized the narrative and not only that

112
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers are winning. Look, we we've talked about this

113
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's about being the story and being able

114
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: to be the story. That that is something that is

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: not counted as much when when we talk about things

116
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: and how people see the narratives on things. And I

117
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: was thinking about this today. It was weird, not not

118
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: to not to be political about it, but just two

119
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: things I remember from the election last year, right within

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty four hours of each other, Like Kamala Harris had

121
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: a big, big rally somewhere that had like thirty thousand

122
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: people at it, and it was a big deal and

123
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: they put it on was up on social media, and

124
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: it was everywhere. It's like, wow, there's a big deal.

125
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: And it was that when Trump worked at McDonald's. Right,

126
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: so you have two really big things that happen. Right,

127
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: here's a big rally because that became a whole big

128
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: thing with the election. Whose crowds are bigger and where

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: they are And Kamala Harris had this huge rally in

130
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: a place where you wouldn't expect.

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: Big deal.

132
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Trump works at McDonald's, and that story's everywhere for like

133
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: four days. It's like, here's two big stories. You could see. Wow,

134
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: you can see who can grab the storyline and grab

135
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: the attention and grab the narrative. And that's a thing. Right,

136
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: This is just two two candidates had two big story,

137
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: different reasons, and all of a sudden, the McDonald's thing

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: had legs for days. Now, I mean it's McDonald's, but

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: like that had legs for days. And now you see

140
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: the same thing here in the NBA, Like SGA is

141
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: not grabbing a narrative. The only narrative SGA has grabbed

142
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: is that, well, he shoots too many free throws. Okay,

143
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: what about the other stuff he does? Yeah, but he's

144
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: at the free throw he.

145
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: Kicks Peokle line all right.

146
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: Well, and he tied the wil Chamberlain on court rat yea.

147
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: And with Wemby, it's wow. Wemby's incredible and he's got

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: the it factor, but he's in and out of the lineup,

149
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: and the Spurs win with him, they win without him.

150
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: But but Luca just has that it factor and the sexiness.

151
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: It's the Lakers versus Oklahoma City versus San Antonio, so

152
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: you can see where it's coming, and he is he

153
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: has sees that narrative. That's what I mean. Like this weekend,

154
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: no other NBA story was anywhere, but the Luca t

155
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: story was just you seeing play out on social media.

156
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: And I mean pictures of people's families are out there.

157
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: Here's so and So's wife and I'm like, what.

158
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: Is this is insane?

159
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Well, this shows you how Luca he's reeling everybody in

160
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: because you had the backstory of everything going on with

161
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Luca and his now custody battle and divorce and and

162
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: everything else and trying to get it transferred as to

163
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: what rules of finance and separation of assets comes into play.

164
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Clearly his ex would like it to be in California,

165
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: very fake for her. He's like Nope, it's over there

166
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: cross the seas where I win. But all of that say,

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: it gets the family involved, which is why you have

168
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: this little back and forth on the court, and it

169
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: becomes a huge thing, as well as everybody pushing back

170
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: the the photos of anything they can make where it

171
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: looks like he has muscle striation in his tricep deltoids, right,

172
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: look it out, great he is and now in shape

173
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: he is and everything else. Look him diving on the

174
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: loose ball today was everywhere people in on on Twitter.

175
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I've never seen Luca dive for a loose It's like, well,

176
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Lebron did it last week. Anything you can do, I

177
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: can do better. Listen, we don't have time to talk

178
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: about the third best player on the Lakers. No, we don't,

179
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: we don't. He was scoreless for a long time. They

180
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: were mocking him on the Laker broadcast as he was

181
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: driving it, like, you know, he's scoreless still, but all

182
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: is scoreless at halftime, Lebron, I know, Oh, we have

183
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: no time for the fourth best player on the making

184
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: the fourth best player. Guy just keeps drifting. And then

185
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: Ruey was in street clothes, so fifth best play. But

186
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: all of that to say, with Luca, it's it's been

187
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot of positivity and the ability to carry the team.

188
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you there's two dates that we circle on

189
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: the calendar right now, four to two and four to seven,

190
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: head to head matchups against OKC one home, one room. Yeah,

191
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: those are the two games that shouldn't decide a lot

192
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: of things. And it's not gonna matter in the standings

193
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: because the stands Lakers are too far behind, right and

194
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: the Spurs keep winning. The Lakers want to hold on

195
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: to that third spot. But that's the that's the achieving.

196
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Like the bar is so low for Luca because of this.

197
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, if you could just get the Lakers

198
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: up in the standings a little bit, man Like, we're

199
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: not saying you gotta be number one, like like SGA

200
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: has done with Oklahoma City or Wemby's done with with

201
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: San Antonio. Just get up a little bit. And now

202
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers going from six or seventh, six seventh, sixth, Yeah,

203
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: you just wanted to do well. I mean three weeks

204
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: ago it was are they gonna even say out of

205
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: the plane they're gonna wind up in But a month

206
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: ago they went on that horrible week and a half

207
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: period where everybody back so like the some of the

208
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: chatter now is so disingenuous, like you all watched the

209
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: same thing. They were terrible for a couple of weeks

210
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: straight lost what five of seven, and things seem to

211
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: be unraveling, a lot of finger pointing, a lot of

212
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: talking out of turn, everything else. And then they go

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: on this tremendous streak. He's what had thirty straight thirty

214
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: thirty plus nine straight games along with nine wins, which

215
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: had never been done in NBA history, which is insane.

216
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: But you look at the road he's on that. Yeah,

217
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: it becomes a dominant story for SGA consistency. It may

218
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: actually work against him in this regard because we're trying

219
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: to find a big story. We just got past Oscar season,

220
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: so you need something to grab onto for hardware. Yeah,

221
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean looks it's where we're all kind of waiting

222
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: for something too. Right. Nobody likes the ah, this guy's

223
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: great and it's team is good and easy MVP. Okay,

224
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: that's great, that's good. We like exciting stuff, right, That's

225
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: why this whole year has been instead of the default,

226
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: who gets to sixty five and then then we're gonna

227
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: parse it out. It's we need and he has grabbed

228
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: that with a lot of time to go on the

229
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: perfect time, because look, what do we say about the

230
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: last twenty games in the NBA season? Generally they are irrelevant, right,

231
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: And again this outcome doesn't really Matt doesn't matter for

232
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the Pistons does whatever happens doesn't matter for the Spurs

233
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: or the Thunder, the Knicks, the Celtics. Is there a

234
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: difference between finishing second or third or third and fourth.

235
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: So we're in a part where we know this NBA

236
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: schedule with teams that were tanking before are even more

237
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: tanking now because hey, we're just getting to the end

238
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: of the season. Now, we're just trying to get more

239
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: ping pong balls in. Like the tanking is worse now

240
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: the last twenty games. So in a time when we're

241
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: really looking for some sort of narrative because Okay, the

242
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: NFL has gone away, we're still leading up to the

243
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: to the NFL draft. Major League Baseball starts the end

244
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: of this week. Okay, that's great, but now we want

245
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: to get to the NBA playoffs. We need something, and

246
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Lucas provided that provided great play at a perfect time.

247
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: For the Lakers to make their run up to third

248
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, and that's all they have to do.

249
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: As as we've seen it, the.

250
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: Odds just in the last five days for MVP right

251
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: have gone Luca. When we talked about him on the air,

252
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: what was it Thursday night, and the odds went from

253
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: thirty five to one to twenty to one and we

254
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: were on the air, I mean just in the in

255
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: the twelve minutes we were on the air talking about

256
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Luca winning MVP.

257
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are affecting change.

258
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Here at Fox Sports Radio, moving a lot of money.

259
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it went from thirty five to one to

260
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: twenty one. Now he's now he's twelve to one, and

261
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: now the odds have come down for he's reeling in SGA.

262
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: I didn't say.

263
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: I didn't say this was going to be something that

264
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: happened overnight. But now you can see that Luca is

265
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: really starting to reliment, like I'm waiting for the for

266
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the gift of what's the one they used to use

267
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: for DK Metcalf when he ran down Buddha Baker. Yeah,

268
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: and Buddha Bakers ahead of him the whole time, and

269
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: then DK Metcalf tackles him inside the ten. I'm waiting

270
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: for the SGA Luca heads on that to come on.

271
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for that tournoise hair or that one. Because

272
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: we had Buddha Baker end of the show talk about

273
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: him looking back and he's looking back and then eventually

274
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: he catches him. At your page always say don't look back.

275
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Someone might be catching you. So I mean, don't look back.

276
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: Keep running, Bud, keep running. I just want to look up,

277
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: look up at the scoreboard like everybody else on someone

278
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: in the second level in the end zone, seats that

279
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: you love, and you're gonna throw the ball to.

280
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: I don't just accept that the Lakers are back.

281
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Man before the Lakers being back in the playoff except

282
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Lucas the m v P because reeling in. I'll tell you,

283
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Though he's got a three game

284
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's got a three game run

285
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: up now as Indiana because they won today, all right,

286
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: then they've got the Nets and then they've got the Wizards.

287
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: That's gonna be any It's gonna be an easy run

288
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: right there.

289
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: I had him a game against Cleveland here in l A.

290
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: And then that road trip a week from Thursday, just

Speaker 3: I'm doing all right? How are you?

342
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: Guys? I don't know, man, I think Jackson Smith and

343
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: Jigba is doing better than all of us. But you know,

344
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: as well as world.

345
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: Is going to be doing even better than him, at

346
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 3: least a couple of dollars better. But yeah, yeah, you.

347
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: Think he's getting a bigger deal. Yes, So the knucklehead

348
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: effect in any of the uh little little things off

349
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: the field won't won't.

350
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: Hurt him, I don't. I don't think so. No, he's

351
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: such a perfect fit for what they do, and he's

352
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 3: bigger and stronger and more of an impact in the

353
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: run game than uh Ri and Jigbas asked to do

354
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 3: or could do, I mean or reasonably could do. And

355
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about pitch plays and end the rounds

356
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 3: for these guys carrying the ball, and they both do

357
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: a little bit of that. But what what Kua is?

358
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: He basically plays five positions for that team. I mean,

359
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: he's he's the receiving tight end, he's the blocking tight end,

360
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: he's the best slot receiver, he's the best outside receiver.

361
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: You can put him in motion, he can run the ball.

362
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: Uh And Stafford's not going to be there forever. So

363
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: like I mean, I think he's at his peak even

364
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: better than what Cooper Cup Tod do for them because

365
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: he's I think a little more explosive. So yeah, I

366
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: think and more to the point people, I mean, I

367
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: talk to people about it today. I mean, yeah, Nikol

368
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: is going to get more and look, there's a fifth

369
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: year option of Smith and Jigma, right, so that that

370
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: works in the team's favor while you pay him more

371
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 3: money to be the first round pick, and obviously to

372
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 3: find Nikola where they found him in the draft is

373
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: a coup, but you can't, you know, you Smith and

374
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: Jigg has got to go through a fifty year option

375
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: to get to a franchise tag situation where you know

376
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: what I mean, Nakool is closer to it, and so

377
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 3: good old John Schneyder for getting it done first. And yeah,

378
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: I think Nikola will we'll leap frog this sometime between

379
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 3: now and before the start of the regular season.

380
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: Well here's my thing though with JSNJ is that, look,

381
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: this is a guy who is still twenty four and

382
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: as much as as Nikoua does, as great as he is.

383
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: You know, guys like Nikula and Jefferson and Jamar Chase,

384
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: they all have pretty good guys playing opposite them or

385
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: they got really really good quarterbacks. And JSN has a

386
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: bunch of jags, you know. I mean, he's a guy

387
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: that somehow finds a way to still catch one hundred

388
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: and twenty passes when I mean the next biggest threat

389
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: the team has is a two old Cooper Cupper or

390
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: an underachieving Rashid Shaheed like he he kind of these

391
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: kind of that entire offense there in Seattle.

392
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, I don't think he's quite as versatile as Nikua.

393
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: I think the way nikou is built and to be

394
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: able to do the things he does down downfield, the

395
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: way he's built like he is, and to be able

396
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: to beat people up at the line of spermmates. Now, well,

397
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: some of that eventually have a detrimental effect to the

398
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: length of his career. I mean possibly. I mean, this

399
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: guy was what tracking in twenty twenty three. I mean,

400
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: he's in his peak, peak, prime prime. I mean, they're

401
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: just they're just different. They're different. They're both absolutely at

402
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: the pinnacle of offensive playmakers in this league. I think

403
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: in that with Sean McVay call him plays and and

404
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 3: the things that they do. I think Poka Naku would

405
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: be a demon even if the quarterback didn't, you know,

406
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: win the MVP last year. But look, I think we

407
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: have to start talking a little differently about Sam Donald

408
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: now too. Like he's not stop liver, He's not a

409
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: guy off the strap scrap heap. He's he's got a

410
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: super Bowl title. Now, he's put together back to back

411
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 3: top ten seasons for quarterbacks, and we'll say, I mean,

412
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 3: is they're going to have to be a little more

413
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: volume in that Seattle pass game this year. The defense

414
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 3: is just so good, you know, and I think that

415
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: helped Smith and jigbaf as well, because you just you

416
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: just know that see ib was probably gonna probably gonna

417
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: shut you down, and I you know, I think the

418
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 3: Rams is probably a little more pressure on them. They

419
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 3: have to keep going, to go and keep scoring. There

420
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 3: were some games last year where Seattle could just totally

421
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: take the air out of the ball and not have

422
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: to play the second half. I'm not sure that that's

423
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: exactly it for the Rams. But these two did they

424
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: deserve to be the two highest paid. I mean that's

425
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: taken nothing away from Juan Chase and nothing away from Jefferson.

426
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: And we could sit here and start ranking one through

427
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: five or one to ten, but you know how it is,

428
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 3: Timings everything, and the cap keeps soaring, and these are

429
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: the you know, arguably the two best teams in the NFL,

430
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: and they've got two receivers who are both just completed

431
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 3: their third year, and they're going to be the two

432
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: highest paid receivers in the league.

433
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: No, I Doug that you added Sam Donald to it,

434
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: because if not, that was the follow up of how

435
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: my partner here was dismissing the greatness of Sat.

436
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he's not he's he's he's not an afterthought.

437
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 3: He's a highly compensated, now highly successful quarterback. And that's

438
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: in two different places with two different play callers. So

439
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: we can't just say it's all a uh, you know,

440
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: he's a product of this guy or a product of

441
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: that guy. He's he was the biggest thing that changed

442
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: in Seattle. I mean, far and away from the year

443
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: not making the playoffs in McDonald's first year to being

444
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: the last team standing. I mean that the biggest difference

445
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: what the quarterback?

446
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: All Right, moving on as we start to look ahead

447
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: towards the draft, is how big is the gap between

448
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: Mendoza and Simpson?

449
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: Jeez? I mean I don't even know that Simpsons is

450
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: definitely the second best quarterback, and a lot of evaluators

451
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: I talked to think the kid from North Dakota State

452
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: has higher upside and does his build and everything about

453
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: him some people prefer I think, what we're really drilling

454
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: down on here, I think what the real he question is?

455
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: I really, I mean Simpson, whatever, is Mendoza a true one? One?

456
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think he is. And

457
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: I think that's what people are getting at. And does

458
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 3: he have the ideal sample size that you would like?

459
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 3: You know what I mean no, was he playing his

460
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: absolute best football against some of the best defenses in

461
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: the country. At the end of the season. He was

462
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: managing games and he was making plays with his legs,

463
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 3: but he wasn't dominating with his arm. It's not a

464
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: great quarterback draft. He's the most proficient, most successful, most prolific.

465
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of quarterback need in this league,

466
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: and some people through darts in the offseason, but no

467
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 3: one thinks they really solved it. So for all all

468
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 3: those reasons, and with a quarterback needy franchise and one

469
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: that's been quarterback needy just before, they drafted JaMarcus Russell. Yeah,

470
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: like he is the one one, and people understand why

471
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: he's the one one. But does he have the same

472
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: pure scouting report that some of these other young men

473
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 3: who've gone in the top five or top ten the

474
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: last ten years. No, he doesn't. He does it now.

475
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: He's a great kid, and he's got a winning mentality,

476
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: and he's all ball, and he'll give you everything he's

477
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 3: got in the classroom. We'll give you everything he's got

478
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: on the practice field. I'll give you everything he's got

479
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 3: on Sunday. But I don't think you could look at

480
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 3: him and say that he's oozing with so much natural

481
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 3: talent and that he's got this super duper crazy sky

482
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: high you know, there is no limit, Like, no, that's

483
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: I don't think that's he is. Can you win a

484
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: lot of games with him? Can you go to playoffs

485
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: with him? I think plenty of people think you can

486
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 3: if you pulled around him the right way. And for

487
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 3: the first time in a million years, there's a lot

488
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: of smart people in the league who think the Raiders

489
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 3: are actually maybe on to something here in terms of

490
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: how they are building around him.

491
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Well, if it doesn't work there, Brady can play, right,

492
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: We saw him play in the flag football this week

493
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: and he can still slim it. They'll be fine.

494
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean like he's allowed to do whatever

495
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: he wants, right, So who's gonna stay Who's going to say, no,

496
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: he's not supposed to be in production meetings, but he

497
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 3: can be in production meetings. Yeah, I don't know what'd you.

498
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: Make of that?

499
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: This weekend?

500
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: All you know that, look, the NFL players get in

501
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: flag football, and the flag football is winding up beating

502
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: him pretty bad, and you know, all of a sudden,

503
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: they wait a minute, now, are we gonna send the

504
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: right people to the Olympics in a couple of years

505
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: like it? It was kind of a shocker to see

506
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: it go this way.

507
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't pay a ton of attention to it.

508
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: I got to be honest with here. I've seen the

509
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: fall I've read about it. I mean, people really like,

510
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 3: I don't know, like, are we really like on the

511
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: edge of our seat to see? If you like? I

512
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: think with whoever, the US SIN should probably win flag football, Like,

513
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 3: I I mean, come on, this is like baseball, the

514
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 3: American past time. No, I mean, it's it's football. They're

515
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: not playing football in as many places as they're playing

516
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: you know, baseball or anything else. I don't know. I

517
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: really don't care who they said, Like, I'm I'm a

518
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: fan of an NFL team, an NFL player. I don't

519
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: want them going there and getting hurt in a glorified exhibition.

520
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 3: And if there are clearly are people who are playing

521
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 3: this at a super high level that they're totally doostardized

522
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: seven on seven grab a flag version of this, then

523
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 3: then yeah, the best of that group should be good

524
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: enough without NFL players getting involved. And clearly this is

525
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 3: a different derivation of these and so let those guys

526
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: have their moment in the sun. I mean, if the

527
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: NFL wants to start doing this, because lord knows, they

528
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 3: don't have enough content, right and they don't dominate the

529
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: sporting calendar enough. Like I'm old enough to remember NFL's

530
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 3: fastest man and Darryl Greeney, You're gonna win it again.

531
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: And like I love the Superstars as a kid, Like

532
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: did you guys love the Superstars? Love the Superstars? Do

533
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Kyl Roache Junior and Wayne

534
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: Gretzky Muhammad a league all like, you know, racing each

535
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 3: other in like go karts and running around tracks and

536
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: adding the batondo each other and swimming against each other.

537
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: So like the NFL wants to do an off season

538
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: thing with it, you know what I mean, if there's

539
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: not enough football, but not to socks out that way

540
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 3: but not just socks off that way out whatever. But

541
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, do we need to see NFL players

542
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: playing flag football in the Olympics. I personally don't, but

543
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: I'm a dinosaur.

544
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: Just bring back the Battle of the Network Stars while

545
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: we're at it.

546
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: I was thinking that too, Gabe Kaplan, huh, I immediately think

547
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: of Gabe Caplin when I think of some other things too.

548
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's Linda Carter and some others. Yeah,

549
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: no question about it. Jason locking for our guests, all right,

550
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: last one, Travis Kelcey signs his deal. He's back for

551
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: another run or two or three? Is this one that one?

552
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you had it, you had it the

553
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: first time. I guess that's pretty good podcasting money. I

554
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: don't know. Does mean? I think he does even better

555
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 3: than that the podcast don't.

556
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: For fifty seven? But is he still making that podcast

557
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: money when he's an x NFL player, like that whole

558
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: thing like his Is he still listening? Man? Still making

559
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: this money when he's not playing in the NFL anymore?

560
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: Like that's gonna be a thing.

561
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: I mean, if he Terror Swift did a podcast, I

562
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: don't think that would go absolutely whether he's playing football

563
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: or not. I don't know. I think it would go,

564
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: Oh do they already do one? And I just don't

565
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: know about it. I know he does stuff with his brother, well, she.

566
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: Was on the one to announce her uh album.

567
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: But I mean, like if they did it, like if

568
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: they did one like every week, I think people would

569
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: probably be into that, like from the tour bus or whatever.

570
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, write down that's an idea, man,

571
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: write that down somebody, or all the.

572
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: Stuff in the wedding. Honestly, I think they should come

573
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 3: up on to bed every Friday and pick Bundesliga and

574
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: college with crowf games with me. That's what I think. Really,

575
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: that's what the world needs. We're doing quite well in

576
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: those minkets. I like laying the three with Harvard tomorrow.

577
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 3: I be you, but uh yeah, I think that's what

578
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: they should do. They better draft and move tight end.

579
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: I'll just put it to you that way, like it's

580
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: pretty good tight end draft. I don't know that I

581
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: want to go in the next year relying on Kelsey

582
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: to be my most productive tight end. I think you've

583
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 3: got to start embracing the fact that he's more of

584
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: a tertiary weapon at this point in his career.

585
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: He's he's on X at Jason lock and for that

586
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: is at Jason Locke and for also check him out.

587
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: I want to bet with us as well. Jay has

588

595
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: gotta get their tight end in the middle of the

596
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: revenge tour. A lot of tight ends out there for

597
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: the taking. I do like that the maximum value on

598
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: this is like fifty seven million dollars. Yeah, yeah, if

599
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: he sees the end of that contract. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

600
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,160

Speaker 1: but we might be in the midst of an all

671
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: time run. A team that, potentially, we can say this

672
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, had the single greatest season

673
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: in the history of their sport. What is it? We'll

674
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: get that in the second, but first it's time for

675
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: the play of the day. For over forty years, Tireck's

Speaker 1: mobile tire installation. Tirac dot Com is the way tire

680
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: buying should be. Well, when you get out to a

681
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: fifty three to eight lead and you lead an NCAA

682
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: tournament game in the second round sixty five to twelve

683
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: at halftime, you get to be the player of the day. Heck,

684
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: all dishes fud one more fick game, hazy fun it's

685
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: unconscious there it is Yukon on the call ESPN.

686
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 4: And Jason they would have beat the men's team.

687
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Well, this is all Jerry McNamara's fault. Clearly, he is

688
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: not nearly having the impact we thought he would. The

689
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: team is hiring his head. Go now, look look what

690
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: happened today. Look what happened to the women's team today. Wait,

691
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: you want to talk about your your coaches whining after

692
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: it was fifty three to eight to start this game.

693
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: This is a second round NCAA tournament game, and it

694
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: was fifty three to eight. It was sixty five twelve

695
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: at halftime. At least Syracuse can say, hey, no Tacos

696
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: ninety eight to forty five was your final. No Tacos

697
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: no kept him from that, Houndo not getting there. But

698
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: there's two big things to take away from this, right.

699
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Number one is that still the women's tournament when you

700
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: get out, when you get when you get into the

701
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: one A. When he into teams that are seated eight

702
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: and higher, even though they've won big games, you know

703
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: they're decent teams in their conferences. These are the finals

704
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: you get sometimes, right. The difference between one eight is

705
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: still huge. It is still a very top heavy tournament.

706
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: But this is still a Syracuse team that won their

707
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: eight nine game, that pretty good year in the ACC,

708
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: beat some pretty good teams and Yukon absolutely dusted them.

709
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean this is I mean fifty three to eight.

710
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: This is not Yukon goes in and you have a

711
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: you know, Directional State university coming in to cash a

712
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: check to play and gamble, and you know it's one

713
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: hundred to eight is the final score? Like this is?

714
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: This is a ACC team, mid pack, mid middle of

715
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: the pack ACC team. I don't know that people are

716
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: gonna see weeks because we've seen this a lot. We've

717
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: seen dominant seasons in women's college basketball before. But when

718
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: it's said and done, we're gonna wind up saying this

719
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: was the single greatest season in women's college basketball history

720
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: because of what Yukon is doing. They're undefeated all right now.

721
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: You want to look back and say, okay, the one

722
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: team that they would say, maybe you look at the

723
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, two thousand and two Yukon team

724
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: that had Diana Tarassi and Sue Byrd that has looked

725
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: right now that that's the greatest college basketball team of

726
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: all time. Well, what do they do that year they

727
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: averaged winning their games in the nca turned by twenty

728
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: six points. This Yukon team is laughing at that right now. Okay,

729
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: there they won by by forty. Now they won by

730
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: forty five. Like this Yukon team. They beat Michigan, who

731
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: was number six in the country earlier this year, by

732
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: three points. Every other game they have won by at

733
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: least fourteen. That's every single game they have played. That

734
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: one close game right early in the year, Michigan was

735
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: pretty good. They beat them by three. Every single other

736
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: game has been an absolute burial fourteen points. A couple

737
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: of times they played I think it was Creighton and

738
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: that they beat by fourteen near the end of the season, Like,

739
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: and that's the closest game they have had. Everything else

740
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: is twenty twenty five, thirty forty points. Games are one

741
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: hundred to forty. Like we're gonna look back and I

742
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: mean talking about what we're seeing in the NCA tournament

743
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: the men's side, like I don't know that we're just

744
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: not having a slow march to watching Yukon and Gino

745
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: or MSA. Yeah, you thought we've had dominant teams before.

746
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: No Al was talking about this team be so dominant, right, Yeah,

747
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: I love guys named Gino now Gino Gina, But like

748
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: this team with you know, Azy Fudd nearly set a

749
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: record for most points in a game by Yukon player

750
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: like this team is absolutely loaded and they have come

751
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: in and just not just one, but one at an

752
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: unprecedented pace. Like other we've seen other undefeated teams and

753
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: women's college basketball, but not winning like this Yukon team

754
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: is winning it is. It is just an absolute demolition

755
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: every game they played. Well, we go back to the

756
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: first couple of years you and I were on air

757
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: and Stewie would join us after you know, a big

758
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: win in the tournament, we'd have a stringer on site,

759
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: so Brianna Stewart popped on, and we had frequently people

760
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: from yukon On men and women seem to have found

761
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: their way to the show. But forty oh thirty eight

762
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: and one thirty eight, no, those three years and then

763
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: after Breonna Stewart talked to us, they didn't win another

764
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: title for a while. A lot of final fours, a

765
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: runner up, all of that before last year's championship squad.

766
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: And maybe it's a recency buys. Maybe I look back

767
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,320

839
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:35,880

Speaker 1: we get ready to celebrate it being in the Olympics

856
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight. NFL players have talked about wanting

857
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: to be in this and I understand the Olympics are

858
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and United States. Hey, it's a big

859
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: free publicity. We're gonna show up. We're NFL superstars. We

860
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: can show up and dominate this thing. We don't even

861
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: need to practice. We want to be in the Olympics. Well,

862
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: we saw games this week where a couple of NFL

863
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: teams played against Team USA. Team USA is just a

864
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes. And the NFL teams had Brady and

865
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and Joe Burrow and boy, you know, the

866
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: Bengals love Joe Burrow running for first downs and getting

867
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: knocked over heels and I had to love that. Yeah,

868
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: the video that you want to talk about, viral videos

869
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: that that trump anything that came out of these games.

870
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 4: My goodness.

871
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: But when the best NFL players who didn't have a

872
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: lot of practice, didn't know, they're kind of figuring out

873
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: the rules on the fly, and I get that they

874
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: get absolutely thumped by Team USA. In flag football, flag

875
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: football has got a lot of popularity the last few years,

876
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: both men's and women's flag football. Uh it's you know,

877
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: it's become a big thing, and now being in the Olympics,

878
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: it's becoming a growing sport in colleges. Men and women

879
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: as well. And to see the nflers get thumped the

880
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: way they do tells me one thing said. Listen, I

881
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: I get that this is the Olympics, and people like

882
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady would bring a name to the Olympics, like

883
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: people would tune in if I'm watching Brady and Jamar

884
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: Chase or Puka Nakua or whoever it is, versus watching

885
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of guy guys that you know, I don't

886
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: know that have nicknames like they're from the ND one league, right, Like, Okay,

887
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know who these guys are, So I understand that.

888
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: I get that they Hey, we're selling the sport. We're

889
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: doing this, we're having it now. Potentially, could I see

890
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: maybe you have a quarterback in there. Yeah, like I

891
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: could see throwing in Brady or Burrow and and and

892
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: and really having some kind of great run and not

893
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: worrying about it. But overall, man, oh, there's a reason

894
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: why these guys are playing flag football, right, I get it,

895
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: NFL stars. But let's let's resist the temptation of throwing

896
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: them out there. Right, these are guys just like anything else.

897
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: The team USA guys are practicing flag football all year round, right,

898
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: this is what they do. They are here to do this.

899
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: And all you needed to do was see the one

900
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: video the one receiver on on Team USA where he

901
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: just dipsy doodles and spins by everybody. Because the big

902
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: thing is not being able to let your flag get caught.

903
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: And NFL players look as great as they are. Yeah,

904
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: could they do it? Could they figure out Okay, hey,

905
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for here to catch my flag.

906
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah they could, but you got to train for it,

907
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: and and and they're not gonna have time to train you.

908
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: I watched that guy go through like seven different players,

909
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: just spinning the worlding dervish. Yeah, Tasmanian devil. Okay, no,

910
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: just watch the video, just watch the highlight on. You

00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: don't need to watch the time you watched it. Just

Speaker 1: he was under he got the Yeah. I mean, look,

921
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: leave it. This is a leave it to the flag

922
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: football guys. Leave it to them. I get that you're

923
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: trying to grow the sport. And like I said, maybe

924
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: I could see a quarterback in there, and that would

925
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: certainly be a big deal. Hey, Tom Brady is playing

926
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: for Team USA or Joe Burrows the quarterback for teams?

927
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: Because I watch, I've seen, you know, flag football teams

928
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: dominate where I go. This guy can't even throw. How

929
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: the hell is he the quarterback?

930
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 4: He can't.

931
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: I can throw better than this guy. How the But

932
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: because he's so elusive and he can throw on the

933
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: run and stop and throw back across his body, you

934
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: only have to throw fifteen yards.

935
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, I have a better arm than this guy.

936
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 4: How is this guy a team?

937
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, the one guy who says he's better, He's

938
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: better than Mahome football. So I get that it would

939
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: bring a bit of a star power to it. And

940
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: if he wondered for quarterbacks, but everybody else, guys just

941
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: stay home. It's embarrassing enough the you went out there

942
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: and lost like this to flag football, where I think

943
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 1: generally you eschew the worst of the the embarrassment by by.

944
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: I think most people understand the way this sport is, Hey,

945
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: the NFL guys went out there, they gave it a chance,

946
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: they brought some attention to this. They didn't practice for it.

947
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 1: It's a different thing. We watched the NFL guys play well,

948
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: so they played poorly at it, but hey, these are

949
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: the these are the professionals, the team USA Flag football players,

950
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: and they know what they're doing, they know the players

951
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 1: they're running. Okay, we understand that that the NFL guys

952
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: didn't look great and they lost. But the more they

953
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: do this and the more they keep losing, the worse

954
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: an optic it is. And it becomes an embarrassing optic

955
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: for the NFL. Quit while you are not too far behind,

956
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: right That's I always like saying that when I was going,

957
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: quit while you're not too far behind. The NFL guys,

958
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: you're not too far behind with this. Resist that temptation.

959
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: I get you want to play in the Olympics, and yeah,

960
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: you should go out there and be able to win.

961
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: But these guys do this for a reason. It's a

962
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: different game. Again, try They can't capture the guy's flags,

963
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: and that's a different game entirely catch. They can't grab

964
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: the guy's flag, Like when you have trouble, you have

965
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: to be able to grab flag off the guy, and

966
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: you can't do it. And there's a whole bunch of

967
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: different things that go along with this and that, the

968
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: practice and the and the touring that these guys all do.

969
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: Like leave it to them. You want to throw in

970
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback here or there, because that's the one thing

971
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: that I think can translate from where you are in

972
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: flag football versus the NFL, because these guys can make

973
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: the pinpoint throws that nobody else can. Hey, I'm okay

974
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: with that, but the rest of the guys stay away.

975
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: Let let let the flag football guys handle it, because

976
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be nothing but continued embarrassment if you continue

977
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: to play. I mean, it's taking a different specialty. It's

978
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: a completely different sport. Like it's called football, but a

979
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: lot of it does not resemble its namesake and the

980
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: lead and all of this. But what's great about it

981
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: is it gets some attention on the team USA roster.

982
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: They got to do some press and some publicity through

983
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: all of this, so maybe they become more well known

984
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: and the game gets to a little bit of boost.

985
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: And there's always been speculation that the NFL truly tries

986
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: to push flag football down the road, right, And if

987
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: that becomes the case, then maybe you see more of

988
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: a hybrid and blend to it all. But I'd love

989
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: to see wide receivers start doing parroetes and spinning around.

990
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: That probably leads you right into an oncoming safety who's

991
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: gone road warrior, flying shoulder tackle on you and lays

992
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: you out. But but all of it. With the quarterbacks,

993
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: you get some pubs certainly, and you're not getting hit.

994
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady's not gonna be elusive enough in a

995
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: full game and will be the one play where he's

996
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: able to avoid the rush. Right, the old I'm not

997
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: as good as I once was, but good good ones

998
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: as I ever was. And still the arm works just fine. Whatever,

999
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: but it got some juice. It had to be moved,

1000
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: obviously with world events and everything else, uh to Los Angeles,

1001
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: and very quickly they mobilize. I got a good crowd

1002
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: out there. They certainly did a bunch of promotional things

1003
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of visits to try to hype it up.

1004
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: But again, you know, for the league, it's strategic. All right,

1005
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: let's get some of our biggest names involved and see

1006
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: how it lands. And it got a lot of run

1007
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: over the weekend, no question about it. And going forward,

1008
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: as we talk about rules modifications and the evolution of

1009
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: the sport. You talked about the the investment being made

1010
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: at the lower levels, we're seeing it more. We're on

1011
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: college campuses that you see if you can't create a

1012
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: more viable, lucrative league that runs, you know, in stream

1013
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: with all of these other efforts, and where you have

1014
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: some participation of players, maybe defensive backs, maybe a couple

1015
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks who've run through the league, but still elusive

1016
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: enough and a name recognition enough to where they can

1017
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: draw a little bit of heat. It's all about trying

1018
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: to find the next dollar. Yeah, and this is this

1019
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: is where it's like pickleball a few years ago, still

1020
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: a growing sport. They just commissioned a couple of new

1021
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: fields down where I live and took over some buildings

1022
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: that are now re retrofitting that. But this is the

1023
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: same thing. You're starting to see more of a proliferation

1024
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: and growth like we did a few years ago with pickleball. Yeah,

1025
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: stay home, guys, Team USA, be strong, try to resist,

1026
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: try to resist. What do you got for us?

1027
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 4: But I got an idea.

1028
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: Let me guess.

1029
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 4: No Jets, No, I'm gonna go the opposite. All Jets. Jets, Oh,

1030
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 4: the closest NFL to fly football.

1031
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 3: We have.

1032
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 4: Let them all play. Who cares if they get hurt.

1033
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't need Geno.

1034
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 4: I've been making plays for you anyway.

1035
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't mean I don't need Geno Smith leading flag

1036
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: football interceptions as well. Okay, the NFL is enough.

1037
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 4: Right flag football. He's no longer your problem.

1038
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. He'll always retain Geno Smith. He's always

1039
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: I can't get rid of Geno. No, no, no, he's

1040
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: forever in your soul. Geno, Geno Gena.

1041
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 4: I can't get rid of him.

1042
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: That's he's good for at least three generations of your family.

1043
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 1: You've already passed him down to Zoe and whoever comes. Hence.

1044
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: You know the thing is because I could see the

1045
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: NFL really leaning on team. Hey, this is how we're

1046
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: gonna push this or push the sport we're gonna put.

1047
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: We want to put some guys out there, And I

1048
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: can see where Team USA says, all right, well, well

1049
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: you but some of their guys have to play. It's

1050
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: just it's just gonna get awkward and it's not gonna

1051
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: be what what you expect it to be. And if

1052
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: you're looking at what just happened this weekend, I hope

1053
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL players are going, yeah, that was fun.

1054
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: Gonna do it again? Nope, Nope, not gonna do it.

1055
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: So what it was like? So what I'm gonna have

1056
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: to do to become a flag football player? And Number one,

1057
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: the teams aren't gonna my team isn't gonna be happy

1058
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: for me training like this and playing so much outside

1059
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: of It's like the WBC with teams going, Okay, we

1060
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: don't want you to really exert yourself here. We're a

1061
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: little unhappy that you're playing here. So teams are gonna

1062
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: be upset about that with with loaning guys out, that

1063
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: could get hurt. But overall, I just hope they can

1064
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: resist that push of saying, yeah, hey, we really want

1065
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: to grow the sport. Let the flag football guys do it.

1066
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: Have a yearly exhibition, maybe do another one, right every

1067
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: six months we get together. We signed some autographs, take

1068
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: some pictures, and we get these guys a little more

1069
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: name recognition. They blow us out and we all kind

1070
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: of smile and go, well, it's not our sport. We're

1071
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: doing our best.

1072
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:43,600
