Edmonton trying 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: to duplicate what was done only once before. In a 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Final back in nineteen forty two, the Toronto 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 2: Maple Leafs came back from a three to zero deficit 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: to defeat the Detroit Red Wings, and now Edmonton is 26 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 2: trying to do the same thing in this series against 27 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: the Panthers. 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 4: When you were watching that Stanley Cup Final, how was 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 4: the Leaf's goalie? 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: You know what? 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: It was so remarkable when I remember sitting down, you're 32 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 2: interesting that, Yeah, thirties. By the way, I even gave this, 33 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: people will say those are back in the day when 34 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: it was a sixteen league. I said, actually, in nineteen 35 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: forty two there were seven teams. There was a team 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: called the Brooklyn Americans that year. But anyway, you know, 37 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: I mean, you got to roll these things off. But 38 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: by the way, John Paul Morosi is going to be 39 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: joining us here in about fifteen minutes, so he'll give 40 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 2: us a complete breakdown of what to expect. And again, 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: if you're not a hockey fan, you know, like a 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: lot of people are jumping on the dub you NBA 43 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: bandwagon with Caitlyn. 44 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: Clark and everything. 45 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: But even if you're not a hockey fan, if you 46 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: have a chance to watch Game seven Stanley Cup Final, 47 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: especially with Edmonton trying to you know, really make history 48 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: in the modern era. 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 3: In imagine down three. 50 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: To zero in a series and coming back to win 51 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: a Stanley Cuff Final. I would highly I can't. 52 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: Wait for this. 53 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be watching this game Riveted playoff hockey 54 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: is just next level. So we got a lot to 55 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: cover today, Richie. By the way, look who's on the 56 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: board today. 57 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: I know, yeah, I know. It's like a blast from 58 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 3: the past. Sam was here yesterday. Here again. I mean, 59 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: how how did you get back on to the weekend? Here? Sam? 60 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: What happened? Would you what you got? Sent back down 61 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 3: to triple A Clayton Kershaw style? Yes? Yeah, what're you 62 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: designated for assignment? 63 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 5: Chris Purfett was on the mound and he's been traded 64 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 5: to the Orioles and now I'm here for. 65 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: A washing machine. 66 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: I heard, yeah, exactly, traded to the Orioles for a 67 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: quarter washing machine. And I will say this, he'll we'll 68 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: miss him. We'll miss him because he kept our white 69 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 4: swider at the back, our colors brighter, yes what spider, 70 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: and our colors bread. 71 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: Well, Sam's great to have you here. It's so it's 72 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: great to see you here. By the way, it was 73 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: about this time last year that Sam had essentially invited 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: himself to come to my house, and I'm glad it came, 75 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: he had a chance to meet my sister. We were 76 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: celebrating my Burt down the fourth of July holiday and 77 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: everything else. 78 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: We had a great time. Uh. 79 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: So that we got that all coming up, Richie, I mean, 80 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: we got a lot of things we got to take 81 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: care of as far as the end of the NBA season. 82 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: That's right as we sort of evaluate where we're going 83 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: moving forward in the NBA and what we actually saw 84 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: here in this past NBA season. The Celtics, and again 85 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: I'm a Celtic hater, so this is hard for me. 86 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: They completed the job. 87 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: You remember we were talking about how they lose Game 88 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: four by thirty eight points, and you're you're sently saying, 89 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: all right, well, they want to win the championship at home, 90 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: so they sort of gave them a Game four for 91 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: Dallas and everything else. And watching Game five, that's pretty 92 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: much exactly what happened. Yeah, I mean, you play them 93 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: with fire unless you actually know that we are a 94 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: significantly better team than that team. And the Celtics wasted 95 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: no time in Game five to basically say this series 96 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: is over. 97 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: Time to put up that eighteenth banner. 98 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: They slammed the door shut on him. As they should. 99 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: They were the better team. 100 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: And by the way Rich Ornberger before the series, Celtics 101 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: in five. 102 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: I said, Celtics in five, I said, the only win 103 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 4: that Dallas will have is when the series goes to Dallas, 104 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 4: and he'll probably be game two. I was noncommittal. I 105 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 4: could see it being game one, you know, travel things 106 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: like that. Maybe Boston after a long layoff after two 107 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 4: games in quick succession at home, riding off of some 108 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 4: momentum after two victories, there could be a letdown in 109 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: game three. So it was not committal there, but I 110 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 4: knew one of those games would be a win for 111 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 4: Dallas and then Boston would finish it up at home. 112 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: Confetiti falls on the court at the Garden. And then 113 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 4: you have Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and Christaps Porzingis, 114 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: who didn't finish the finals, but he was certainly helpful 115 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 4: while he was there for the short time. Definitely helped 116 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 4: them burst out to that early lead in the series. 117 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: All get to celebrate that championship. Here's what I'll say, Dallas, 118 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 4: solid team. Solid team. 119 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 3: Dallas reminds me a lot of the Lakers. Now. The 120 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: Lakers have a problem. 121 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: They have two stars on their roster and a lot 122 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 4: of guys, right, a lot of really talented guys, no question, 123 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 4: role players who win they play over their head or 124 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: at very least to their intangible qualities are they're a 125 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: pretty good they assemble to become a pretty good basketball team. 126 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 4: But it takes more than just two dynamic stars. Now 127 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 4: it feels like to win a championship or to become 128 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: a dynasty. The Golden State Warriors figured that out. That's 129 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: the reason why they added Durant before their most recent championship, 130 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: which almost felt like nobody wanted to win it, so 131 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 4: it was the Warriors to win that that playoff if 132 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: you remember that, that NBA playoff season. But yeah, I 133 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: kind of feel like you need to have at least 134 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: three players on your roster play at superstar level for 135 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: a final series for you to actually win. And and 136 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 4: Dallas had two. I don't know if they both played 137 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 4: at superstar levels together. They certainly they certainly seemed to 138 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: figure it out in Game four. But outside of that, 139 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 4: you know, Boston's revolving group of star players really helped. 140 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 4: That was the strongest team in the field. They romped 141 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 4: the field in the East, and then they cleaned up 142 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 4: when the West came to face him in the finals, 143 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 4: and it's exactly what we thought that would happen. 144 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people did not think it was 145 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: gonna happen in the sense that, yes, Boston had mopped 146 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: up on the weaker Eastern Conference, you know, they the 147 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: thought was and like so many people thought Dallas would. 148 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 3: Win this final series, you were obviously on the op. 149 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: Their side is the fact that, well, the West was 150 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: just tougher and the Boston has not played at that 151 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: level all season long. Well, it's approved that was ridiculous. 152 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: I mean, the fact was Boston had the best record 153 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: by far in the NBA. They had done it all 154 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: season long, and they were a team on a mission. 155 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: I also found this interesting in the aftermath of the 156 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: Celtics winning, by the way, the six different team to 157 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 2: win the NBA Championship in the last six years, that 158 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: this is the team that could be the next dynasty, 159 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: because you know, they built from within, they added a 160 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: few pieces, and they stuck to their guns, and because 161 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: of that, they're ready for a dynostam Like, wait a second, 162 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: we said the exact same thing about the Nuggets last year. 163 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. The same thing. The Nuggets built from within. 164 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: They added a few pieces, they stayed with their coach, 165 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: and so that team is made to win multiple championships. 166 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: The Nuggets are built exactly the way the Celtics are. 167 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: And we saw the Nuggets this year basically fading in 168 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: and out all season long, Like a couple of games 169 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: they would show up. I remember when they went to 170 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: Boston and they beat the Celtics. Celtics had not lost 171 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: a home game all year, and you're like, Okay, Denver's 172 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: gonna play that game, Like when we need to show up, 173 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: we'll be there. And then they played around with the Timberwolves, 174 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: got to a game seven, and what happened? 175 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: You blow a twenty point lead at home and you're gone. 176 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: So, by the way, I think the Celtics honestly are 177 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: any different than the Nuggets or any other team we've seen, 178 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: whether it's Milwaukee or any other team that we've seen 179 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: in recent history, win a championship. 180 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: Winning back to back. 181 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: You know, there was a time from nineteen sixty nine 182 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: until the Lakers did in nineteen eighty eight, that's nineteen 183 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: years where there. 184 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: Were no back to back champions in the NBA. 185 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: Then we had this one where everyone was winning back 186 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: to back or three in a row like it was commonplace. 187 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 3: I'm telling you it's not that easy. 188 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: I think the Celtics are gonna have the exact same 189 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: challenges that the Nuggets had this year of maintaining that focus, 190 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: because once you win a championship, everyone's gunning for you. 191 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: Well, and then, look, we would have been saying the 192 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: same thing. 193 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: If the Timberwolves won this the West and then beat 194 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: the Celtics in the finals. 195 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: We would have we would have started. 196 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you want know why if the Mavericks one, 197 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: people would be saying, hey, listen, this is a new 198 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 4: Kyrie and Luca finally got his first one. You know 199 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: how it's gonna go. Now he's got a taste of it. 200 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 4: He's not gonna want to start. He's not going want 201 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 4: to put down the carton of popcorn. Like, no, that's 202 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: not how this works. It's not as easy as hitting 203 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 4: down in a movie theater and having popcorn until the 204 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 4: bucket's empty. Like, this is hard work and it's lucky. 205 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 4: You have to be lucky to a certain extent. You 206 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 4: got to say healthy throughout the season. Your stars need 207 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 4: to be locked in for the postseason. Look at Denver, 208 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 4: their biggest problem was Jamal Murray didn't look like Jamal 209 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 4: Murray typically looks like when Denver goes to the postseason. 210 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: All it took was one player. 211 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 4: To have a rough outing during the second round of 212 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: the Western Conference playoffs and it just fizziled out for Denver. 213 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: So you're absolutely right. Sports are better when there are dynasties. 214 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: That's true in all sports. During the two thousands with 215 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: the Yankees, then the Red Sox in Major League Baseball, 216 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 4: then the twenty tens with the Giants in baseball, with 217 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 4: the Golden State Warriors, with the Lebron his various teams 218 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 4: and the Golden State Warriors trading off championships, Who's gonna 219 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 4: be the dynasty? They keep running into each other. That's 220 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 4: the big roadblock between Steph Curry and Lebron James football. 221 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: I mean, look, it was a Patriots for two decades, 222 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 4: but before that it was the Dallas Cowboys in the nineties. 223 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 4: People like dynasties because it gives some people something important 224 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 4: to root for, and it gives the rest of everybody 225 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 4: else something to root against, and people like that kind 226 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: of sports viewing. Now, if Boston does return to the 227 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: championship round. If Boston does start a dynasty, they are 228 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: an easy team to hate because I don't know if 229 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,239 Speaker 4: you were paying time to all the social media backlash 230 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: that Jason Tatum faced on the other side of winning 231 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 4: this Finals. But he basically ripped off every single Athletes 232 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 4: Finals Championship celebration the crime. Oh he worked at all. 233 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 4: He ripped off Steph Curry twice heaving the basketball and 234 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 4: then and then you know what did he say? Whatever 235 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: it was whatever Steph Curry screened And then he stood 236 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: there having led the series and scoring, rebounding, and assists 237 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 4: all three categories, and watch them. 238 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: Are they gonna say Jaylen Brown? What are they gonna say? 239 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: Now? That was Steph Curry's line. Kevin Garnett, the screaming 240 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: at mid court, he we did it. Yeah, he goes 241 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 4: in the locker room. 242 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: But here's this, like Kobe, he didn't get the MVP. Well, no, 243 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: Jaylen Brown got the MVD even. 244 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: Though Jason Tatum end of the series with more points, 245 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: more rebounds, an assists per game than Jalen Brown. 246 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: So he's doing all that leading up to. 247 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, here's the oh, no, Jalen Brown 248 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: and all right, we'll have much more on that and 249 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: where we're moving on as far as what's next for 250 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: the NBA.

Down 289 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 2: there as the Oilers try to make history, We're about 290 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: to watch. 291 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 7: My friends, one of the most significant games in NHL 292 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 7: postseason history. First of all, it doesn't get any more 293 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 7: important than a Stanley Cup Game seven, and now you've 294 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 7: got a chance to see something that we have not 295 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 7: witnessed since the nineteen forties. And on top of that, 296 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 7: you've got a Canadian team trying to clinch Canada's first 297 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 7: Stanley Cup since nineteen ninety three. So you layer all 298 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 7: of these things on top of it, and it's remarkable. 299 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 7: You're going to have one of the most significant games 300 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 7: in NHL history happening on a beautiful sheet of ice 301 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 7: in South Florida. It's just it's a great story, all 302 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 7: the different elements that play, and of course you got 303 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 7: the best player in the sport in Connor McDavid, right 304 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 7: in the middle of it. He had a very quiet 305 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 7: game six. I suspect he will not have a quiet 306 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 7: Game seven. I believe the Oilers find a way to 307 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 7: win this hockey game. Of course, it all comes down 308 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 7: to goaltending in a big spot. And I'd also point 309 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 7: this out. We have seen many times the road team 310 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 7: win Game seven in the Stanley Cup Final. It happened 311 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 7: for the Saint Louis Blues in Boston, halpen for the 312 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 7: Boston Bruins in Vancouver win. Another Canadian team had a 313 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 7: chance to win the Cup back in twenty eleven, so 314 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 7: I would say, don't get too swayed on this by 315 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 7: the whole mice advantage. It's gonna come down to what 316 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 7: hockey always comes down to, goaltending big moments. I have 317 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 7: no idea what's going to happen in terms of the 318 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 7: minute by minute, but it just has that feeling that 319 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 7: the momentum and certainly the best player on the ice 320 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 7: both belong to the Edmonton Oilers. 321 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, JP, I want to get to baseball in a second, 322 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 4: but hanging on this for a moment longer because it's 323 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 4: such a huge game and we're all looking forward to it. 324 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 4: A lot of people thought this series was going to 325 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: mimic what we saw in the NBA with the Finals there. 326 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 4: Game four goes to the Mavericks. Game five, Celtics overtake 327 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 4: them overwhelming favorites to win that game, just like the 328 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: Panthers were returning. 329 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 3: To Florida and it went sideways for them. 330 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 4: Why is it, like, what's so special about this Oilers 331 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 4: team that they've been able to, I don't know, handle 332 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 4: the adversity and have the fortitude to do what the 333 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: Mavericks couldn't do in the MBA well, I think. 334 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 7: They've got the best player in the world. And when 335 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 7: you've got the best player in the world, and it's 336 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 7: not just when McDavid scores, which of course he did 337 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 7: twice in Game five, but it's also the presence that 338 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 7: he brings and what it forces Florida to do. I 339 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 7: also think Edmonton's penalty kill has been exemplary, and that 340 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 7: was even the case before they began this turnaround in 341 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 7: the middle part of this series. The penalty kill for 342 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 7: them has been the calling card all postseason long. I 343 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 7: think Darnell Nurse has really emerged on the back end 344 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 7: for Edmonton. Like Bouchard has had a great done the 345 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 7: Cup playoffs, Stewart Skinner has made I think some huge saves, 346 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 7: especially in the last few games. So I look at 347 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 7: it as these two teams teams. We're a lot closer 348 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 7: than three to ozho Florida when it was three to 349 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 7: oh Florida, and they've been a lot closer than a 350 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 7: dominance three to zero by Edmonton since then. Although I 351 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 7: do tend to think that Edmonton was a bit more 352 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 7: dominant in the last three games than what Florida was 353 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 7: in the first three. It's It's a really interesting contrast 354 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 7: of styles. I think you do wonder was Barkoff limited 355 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 7: further since the dry title hit earlier on in the series, 356 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 7: and has that had a lingering effect on who's going 357 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 7: to win the Cup? That's always a possibility to why 358 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 7: this the Stendic Cup was so hard to win because 359 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 7: we don't know, and we won't know probably until the 360 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 7: game is over on Monday night, just how hurt everybody 361 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 7: has been and you don't know is it was it 362 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 7: something that happened in the first round, second round, third round, 363 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 7: or for example that like the Barkoff play with dry title, 364 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 7: was that something that is still impacting them? So so 365 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 7: many unknowns. All I know is that I think we're 366 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 7: going to see a truly classic game tomorrow. And I 367 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 7: do think we have seen in hockey way more than 368 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 7: the other sports, specifically the NBA and MLB, where a 369 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 7: team can reverse and get going. Of course, the Boston 370 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 7: Bruins did it, or the Flyers rather did to the 371 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 7: Bruins back in twenty ten on their way to making 372 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 7: a Stanley Cup final, to come back from three to 373 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 7: zero down. It happens in hockey more often than the 374 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 7: other sports because momentum can build shift by shift, and 375 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 7: goaltending is the ultimate equalizer. If your goali gets hot, 376 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 7: you could do almost anything. And I really credit the 377 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 7: way that Edmundton Chris Nablock as a great coach to 378 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 7: really boil things down shift by shift. 379 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 8: And they now put. 380 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 7: Themselves one win away from Stanley Cup. 381 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 8: I can't wait, all. 382 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: Right, JP, I'm going to go back in my own history. 383 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: July eleventh, nineteen seventy one, the week after my thirteenth birthday, 384 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: my dad took me to Dodgers Stadium to see the 385 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: Dodgers play the Giants. And there in the lineup the 386 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: Giants was a guy named Willie Mays. Obviously I knew 387 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: of Willie Mays. I already had idolized him by the 388 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: age of thirteen. I was obviously a baseball fanatic. And 389 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 2: there he was, the great Willie Mays. And you know, 390 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: his passing reminds me again, and I've said this, and 391 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: I know I'm not alone. 392 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 3: Then, when it comes to. 393 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: The five tool players, he was the best that ever 394 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: played the game. I mean, then led the league in 395 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 2: stolen bases in four seasons. He also led the league 396 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: in home runs in four seasons. Candlestick Park was not 397 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 2: made for him. I've always said this, if he had 398 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: gone to Atlanta instead of Hank Aaron, Willie Mays would 399 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 2: have been the all time home run leader. 400 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 3: But I want to get your perspective. 401 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: I I know they had the big celebration in Birmingham 402 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 2: for the Negro leagues. I know Willie was going to 403 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: be a big part of that before his passing, his 404 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: presence was actually felt. But you're a historian the game, 405 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: where exactly do you place Willie Mays the best all. 406 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 7: Around player we ever saw in Major League baseball? And 407 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 7: I go back to that, and that was the statement 408 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 7: that was made by Ernie Harwell, who broadcasted a lot 409 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 7: of games and knew Willy very well. And I just 410 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 7: think that when you look at the totality of what 411 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 7: he did, I think Tom Ronaldy captured him so well, 412 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 7: and that piece that he did on Fox Sports before 413 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 7: the Rick whick Field game, that he really was in 414 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 7: the midst of all the things that he did, he 415 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 7: created a feeling and an emotion, and I just think 416 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 7: that's such a special thing to say about someone, and 417 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 7: in the case of Willy, it's it's so true he 418 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 7: just he made people feel so excited about the game, 419 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 7: and I think it's as much as we love and 420 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 7: lionised the catch as we should, I think just as 421 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 7: amazing are those photos of him playing stickball with kids 422 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 7: in Harlem, even the polo grounds and just playing stickball 423 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 7: with kids. 424 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 8: He had that. 425 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 7: Boyish enthusiasm about him to where when you watched him play, 426 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 7: even if he just saw a video of him, and 427 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 7: if you saw make a brilliant catch, hit a home run, 428 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 7: run around the field as gratefully as. 429 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 8: He did, you wanted to be him. 430 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 7: And my friend Jeff Passing med an excellent point about 431 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 7: this too. Willie was about five to eleven, so it 432 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 7: wasn't as though he was physically a larger than life 433 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 7: in an unrelatable way type of figure. He was someone 434 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 7: that I think people could relate to because of his enthusiasm, 435 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 7: because of how he carried himself and how he played 436 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 7: the game. So I just think it's a tremendous loss 437 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 7: for all of us. But how blessed we all were 438 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 7: to be able to walk the earth at the same 439 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 7: time as him. 440 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 4: Going from an all time great to a budding superstar. 441 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 4: Paul Skeins I'm watching him just moments ago as he 442 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 4: was on the bump taking on the Tampa Bay Rays 443 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: buffuddling batters. Look, he's a flamethrower, he's a tall guy, 444 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 4: He's got all the intangible qualities you want in a picture. 445 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: But why has he been so unhittable so far through 446 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 4: his major league debut year? 447 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 7: No, you know, Richard's a great question. I do think 448 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 7: he just possesses that's an overwhelming repertoire. And what sets 449 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 7: them apart is the ability to execute and command the game. 450 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 7: And we see so much in the sport right now 451 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 7: elite stuff and the amount of pitchers who have average 452 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 7: fastballs well into the nineties. 453 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 8: It really is. 454 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 7: It's a power game right now. And yet for Paul Skiings, 455 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 7: his ability to harness that work with the tempo and 456 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 7: command what he does in the mount. I go back 457 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 7: to his background. Remember, he spent his first two years 458 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 7: in college baseball pitching at the Air Force Academy, and 459 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 7: that is a very demanding place. 460 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 8: As we know he has. 461 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: I think that discipline to harness the elite stuff that 462 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 7: he has and. 463 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 8: Then just put all out there on the mound, every. 464 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 7: Single pitch, And I just think it's the ability to 465 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 7: differentiate not just the basketball but the secondary stuff. 466 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 8: He's so much fun to watch, and it's. 467 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 7: One hundred and one hundred and one exactly wants to 468 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 7: put it. And if you keep locating one hundred and 469 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 7: one hundred and one and not just throwing it but 470 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 7: really pitching with it, my gosh, the truly, truly, the 471 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 7: sky's the limit. I think we're seeing that right now 472 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 7: for a team that, by the way, rich in the 473 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 7: great state of Pennsylvania. They are not that far away 474 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 7: from contention. So I think that we know or we're 475 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 7: pretty darn sure we're gonna see one playoff team in Philadelphia. 476 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 7: But hey, I'm not ruled out the possibility of Derek 477 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 7: Shelton is Gang finding a way to get to the 478 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 7: postseason really quick? 479 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 4: JP would they shut down schemes though, even if they 480 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 4: were a playoff team, you know, just just because he's young, 481 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 4: he's never seen this much action. 482 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 3: Is it possible? 483 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 7: So I do think that, And I'll back up and 484 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 7: say it's not clear. They have not come out and 485 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 7: said exactly what. 486 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 8: The number is. But if I'm the Pirates and if 487 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 8: I have. 488 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 7: Any idea, any inkling. 489 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 8: That I'm gonna manage his innings. 490 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 7: You gotta do a better job than what the Nationals 491 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 7: did with Strasbourg, which was they lost them at the 492 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 7: most important time of the year. So if you feel 493 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 7: like you need to manage his innings, which is a 494 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 7: reasonable statement, it is, so do it at the All 495 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 7: Star break, do it very soon. Back them off, have 496 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 7: you know, put them on whatever list you got to 497 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 7: put them on, whether you option them out or whatever. 498 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 8: You do. Give him some time and that way you're 499 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 8: you're not. 500 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 7: Taking away that possibility down the stress because one of 501 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: the things that the postseason does for us, and remember, 502 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 7: is the ability to use the rest and use the 503 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 7: space to get the most recovery for your guys. 504 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 8: There is there's. 505 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 7: Pitching in the postseason and then pitching a little bit, 506 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 7: not necessarily every fifth day in the playoffs. 507 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 8: Maybe it's every sixth day. You use that special stuff 508 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 8: that you got. 509 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 7: Garrett Cole was one example back in twenty thirteen when 510 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 7: he debuted with the Pirates. 511 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 8: He was in the. 512 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 7: Playoffs with them, but they didn't have him start necessarily 513 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 7: all the time.

Yes, 804 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 4: I think he's going to be the greatest broadcaster of 805 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 4: all time in terms of uh color analysts from the booth. 806 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 3: And here's the reason why. So you think he'll be 807 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 3: better than John Madden. 808 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 4: Nothing he's ever done, he's failed at as long as 809 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 4: he's put his mind to it. And here's the reality. 810 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 4: When it comes to football, every thing related to football. 811 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 4: Tom Brady has excelled at everything from playing the sport 812 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 4: to coaching the sport. People don't realize it. He was 813 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 4: a coach as much as he was a player. He 814 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 4: was teaching everybody in that organization at a certain point 815 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 4: alongside Bill. But I mean, how many coaches were hired 816 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 4: to the staffs that he played with both in New 817 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 4: England and Tampa Bay, who. 818 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 3: Are younger than him. 819 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 4: I mean, that's the reality of getting into your forties 820 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,919 Speaker 4: playing football is you're gonna have coaches that you're going 821 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 4: to teach up because you're Tom Brady and they aren't. 822 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 4: And so he was a great player, he was a 823 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 4: great coach, and he's a great communicator. You listen to 824 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 4: the way he speaks. There is no misunderstanding Tom Brady. 825 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be fantastic at all. 826 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 2: Right, A lot of pressure on a pros pro Kevin Burkhart, yes, 827 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 2: because if it doesn't work to the level that Tom 828 00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 2: Brady expects, and maybe people like you expect Brady's not 829 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: walking the plank and no, because they're paying him a boatload. 830 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 2: They're like, well, if you can't make this work, Kevin, 831 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to move you to a different level 832 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 2: and get somebody else in there that maybe works better 833 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: with Tom Brady. 834 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 4: There's a lot of pressure on Kevin Burkhart. But Tom 835 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 4: Brady's ultimately a great teammate. He is, and so I 836 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 4: think he's gonna try to make Kevin look great. I 837 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 4: think Kevin is obviously going to try to make Tom 838 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 4: look great, because why wouldn't he? Uh So, I think 839 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 4: it's gonna work. 840 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember when I got chet Fordy got hired, 841 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 2: and my boss John Lets says, you better make this work. 842 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 2: I remember that pressure continue on more coming up here 843 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Sunday.

There was a lot of 858 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 3: fun talking to JP about it. 859 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, like you said, you know what the oilers have 860 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 4: gone for them, is you know, just a little thing 861 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 4: the greatest hockey player on ice right now? 862 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, you know so. 863 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 2: And by the way, here's something a lot of people 864 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,439 Speaker 2: may not know. You know, we were talking about maybe 865 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 2: the controversial voter of the NBA Finals MVP where Jaylen 866 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 2: Brown got it over Jason Tatum was a six to 867 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 2: four vote of the media people that voted the con 868 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 2: Smythe award, which is the MVP is not for the 869 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Final. It's for the entire playoffs, right, And 870 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 2: so people are saying, well, can Connor McDavid win the 871 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 2: con Smythe if Edmonton doesn't win the Stanley Cup? And 872 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 2: the answer is yes, because it's actually happened several times 873 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 2: that a guy has won the con Smyth on a 874 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 2: team that ultimately did not win the Stanley Cup. And 875 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 2: of course he's already broken Gretzy's Rica for assist in 876 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 2: a plow season and everything else. So yeah, win or 877 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 2: lose eight goal on Monday, expect Connor McDavid will win 878 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 2: the count thirty four assists, forty two points total. 879 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's you know, plus twelve if it matters these playoffs. 880 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 4: So far he's He's an unbelievable player. He's going to win. 881 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 4: The Consmith and the Edmonton Oilers, like JP was talking about, 882 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 4: have Goum have gone all the way from you know, 883 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 4: most likely out in sweep in sweep format to most 884 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 4: likely to win this game. I mean, they're the betting 885 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 4: favorites going into this one. So really interesting how momentum 886 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 4: can shift. Basketball does not feel. 887 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 3: This way oftentimes. 888 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like, you know, an underdog can can 889 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 4: come back and win. And it's never happened, as a 890 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 4: matter of fact in NBA playoff history that a team 891 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 4: facing a three to zero deficit has ever overcome a 892 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 4: three to zero deficit and won a series, let alone 893 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 4: a finals. In Stanley Cup final history, it's never It 894 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 4: only happened once in nineteen forty. 895 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 3: Two with the Maple Leafs. 896 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 4: But the fact that we're witnessing history and one of 897 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 4: the greatest players we've seen since the Great One is 898 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 4: on the ice, it just feels suiting. It feels awesome, 899 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 4: and I don't know, I feel like I feel like 900 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,720 Speaker 4: NBA basketball went out like a lamb. 901 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 3: NHL hockey's going out like a lion. And if the. 902 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 4: NBA isn't careful, boy, the NHL might might catch him. 903 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. 904 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 4: This country loves football and basketball is getting further and 905 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 4: further from the nineties. Kick ass have to be tough. 906 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 4: You're gonna you know that to create the Jordan rules, 907 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 4: just to make sure they protected the league's greatest star. 908 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,760 Speaker 4: Hockey is a physical game. It's a fun watch, especially 909 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 4: in person. It's at the NBA. Better be careful. 910 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 2: Well, I one hundred percent agree when people say, well, 911 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 2: you know, how would you rate this NBA season? And 912 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 2: my immediate thought is forgettable? Yeah, I agree. I mean forgettable. 913 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 2: Like the Celtics win. Hooray, they went their eighteenth and 914 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 2: no one's talking about it. There's literally no buzz just 915 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 2: days after the NBA Finals end. 916 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 4: Obously the biggest story on social media. You know, and 917 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 4: listen my hockey highlights when it comes to my for 918 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 4: you page on TikTok or my feed on on x 919 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 4: or you know, if I'm on Instagram reels, I mean, 920 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 4: it's it's Connor McDavid, It's it's me. There was that 921 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 4: that Edmonton Oilers fan in the stands who actually stole 922 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 4: some of the storylines earlier in the series for good reason. Yeah, 923 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 4: shout out Kate, but yeah, look, the reality of the 924 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 4: situation is the NBA postseason, there were a lot of 925 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 4: sweeps or gentlemen sweeps. The better team almost always won, 926 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 4: except in the West, where I think the best team lost, 927 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 4: but they kind of bowed out ungracefully and that was 928 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 4: the Denver Nuggets, and it was a lot bit. The 929 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 4: biggest buzz story, like we mentioned earlier, was Jason Tatum 930 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 4: getting dragged for his postgame celebration after the game Game five. 931 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 3: It was so rehearsed. 932 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 2: Anyway, here's the thing about the NBA, It's only gonna 933 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 2: get worse. 934 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 3: Now. 935 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 2: I'm a we'll way in our whole spin on you know, 936 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 2: the Laker coaching situation. But I want to get to 937 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 2: the draft this week. So if you look at these 938 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 2: mock drafts, top two picks could be from France. Yeah, 939 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 2: in fact, three of the top eight could be from France. 940 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 2: You got the two guys from Yukon and then you 941 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 2: got G League guys and guys from France. And this 942 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 2: is not good for the NBA. When you think about 943 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 2: Giannis winning a championship and the Joker winning a championship 944 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 2: and Luca getting. 945 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 3: To the NBA Finals. Here's the thing about star power 946 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 3: in the NBA. 947 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 2: These foreign born players, as great as they are, do 948 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 2: not move the needle at all. The two biggest names, 949 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 2: the two biggest stars in this league are still Lebron 950 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 2: and Steph Those are the two biggest stars in the 951 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 2: NBA still. And then you look at this anonymous draft 952 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 2: and by the way, we'll see about Wimby. Just remember 953 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 2: this about Wimby the year before he was drafted by 954 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 2: San Antonio, the record was twenty two and sixty. His 955 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 2: rookie season with the Spurs, they were twenty two and sixty. 956 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 2: So that didn't move the needle either. But these forim 957 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,320 Speaker 2: born players, I know it's working for them. In terms 958 00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 2: of these television contracts. They're gonna have the rich television 959 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,479 Speaker 2: deals of all time. It's not about the finances. It's 960 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 2: talking about what you're talking about rich social media buzz 961 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 2: are people talking about the NBA. 962 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 3: So you're telling me that Zachari Risashall, he's not doing 963 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 3: it for you. 964 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 2: None of these the French guys, Australian guy, are you 965 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,720 Speaker 2: not moving the needle? 966 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 4: Look the top ten, you know, to be perfectly honest 967 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 4: with you, obviously Donovan Kling and yeah we remember him 968 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 4: to you guys yup, yup and Stephen Castle Dalton connect 969 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 4: out of Tennessee, Kentucky guy, yeah you, oh yeah, Dillingham 970 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:38,720 Speaker 4: out of Kentucky. 971 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 3: Like you. 972 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 4: There are guys who you recognize from the tournament.

They do they need somebody 994 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 2: that's going to move the needle, Well, what. 995 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 3: They need is an American player, that's right. What they 996 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 3: need is. 997 00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 4: A homegrown talent that comes from a school that we recognize, 998 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 4: that comes from a city that we recognize. Listen, with 999 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 4: all due respect to Nicola Topicch, I'm sure wherever he's 1000 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 4: from is a pleasant place in Serbia, but I promise 1001 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 4: you've never heard of it, and I promise you have 1002 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 4: never been there. I couldn't tell you what people are 1003 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 4: like out of there. But when you tell me someone's 1004 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 4: from Orange, New Jersey, or they're from they're from the Boys, 1005 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 4: or you tell me they're from they're from there, they're 1006 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 4: from Athens, Georgia. Like I listen, I've never been to 1007 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 4: any of those neighborhoods, but I could tell you a 1008 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 4: little something about them. Based on the people I've met 1009 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 4: from those neighborhoods. I could tell you where they are 1010 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 4: in this country. Like there's a connection, is my point. 1011 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,840 Speaker 4: Without connection, you have nothing in terms of interest. 1012 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:47,800 Speaker 3: I can't. 1013 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 4: It's gonna take a long time to connect to these players. 1014 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 4: It took people a long time, even though he's charismatic, 1015 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 4: even though he's great in front of the camera, to 1016 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,920 Speaker 4: connect to Giannis the Greek freak, because guess what, even 1017 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 4: though people have vacation in Greece, they don't know what 1018 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,399 Speaker 4: life and like. We had to be filled in. 1019 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 2: On the back Janie's start, remember you went back to 1020 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 2: back MVPs. Then he wins the NBA Championship. People thought 1021 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 2: that was going to take him next level. It hasn't, 1022 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 2: and he at least has some personality. When you talk 1023 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 2: about the Joker and Luca, they don't have personalities. They're 1024 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,959 Speaker 2: great high IQ basketball players. You know, all we really 1025 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 2: know about Luca is that he complains about every single 1026 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 2: call during the course of a game. But when they're 1027 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 2: sat down and inner, there's no person. There's nothing there. 1028 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 2: And so this is this is where the NBA is 1029 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 2: at now. They could say, hey, we got the richest contract, 1030 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:43,959 Speaker 2: We're about a global game. 1031 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 3: Well that's great, but I don't live globally. 1032 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,359 Speaker 2: I live here, and I have talked less about the 1033 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 2: NBA than anytime I can remember. We don't have a 1034 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 2: dominant team right now. We've got a revolving door champion 1035 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,839 Speaker 2: six different teams in the last six years, and every 1036 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 2: time we want to elevate one of these foreign born 1037 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 2: stars to that next level, it's just not happening. 1038 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you the. 1039 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 4: Part for me that I had a difficult time with 1040 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,400 Speaker 4: because I understand marketing, and I certainly understand sports marketing, 1041 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 4: and I understand my connection to sports. 1042 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 3: At least I'm speaking for myself. 1043 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 4: When Nikola Jokic was actually bummed out that he had 1044 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 4: to wait a couple extra days to fly home and 1045 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,280 Speaker 4: celebrate with his countrymen his most recent NBA championship because 1046 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 4: the parade, the parade wasn't going to happen for like 1047 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 4: three days, he was like, legitimately upset your Denver's star. Like, 1048 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 4: you're I'm sorry, Nicola, I know that you love racing 1049 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 4: horses in the small town you came from, but you 1050 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 4: belong to Denver in terms of like those fans and 1051 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 4: those people who support the gigantic salary you're paid year 1052 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 4: after year. That's what's keeping the lights on in those arenas, 1053 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,799 Speaker 4: that interest that American interest is the reason why you're 1054 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 4: playing in the NBA now, Don't get me wrong. Like 1055 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,319 Speaker 4: you said, this is a global game now, and there's 1056 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 4: a lot of people from a lot of places. And 1057 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 4: I think that this has inspired young kids from all 1058 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 4: across the world to pick up a basketball and dribble 1059 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 4: and shoot and learn ball handling skills. And I think 1060 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 4: that's great too. But you have to market. You have 1061 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 4: to market to your American audience, otherwise you're gonna lose 1062 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 4: your an American audience. 1063 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 3: All right. 1064 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 2: The one story in the NBA people are talking about 1065 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 2: is we're still waiting for the Lakers to introduce their 1066 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 2: new head coach. 1067 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 3: What exactly is that goin to happen? 1068 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:50,760 Speaker 2: The breakdown of the very strange odyssey that led JJ 1069 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,479 Speaker 2: Reddick to become the next head coach of the Los 1070 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers. 1071 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,720 Speaker 3: This is Fox Sports Sunday. 1072 00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and Rich Ornberger Fox Sports. We are live 1073 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 2: from the tairaq. 1074 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,359 Speaker 3: Dot com studios. 1075 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 2: Well as we sit here on this Sunday, the Lakers 1076 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 2: still do not officially have a head coach. There's not 1077 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,760 Speaker 2: been any announcement of any introduction of a head coach. 1078 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 3: We've been talking. 1079 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,280 Speaker 2: About certain gentlemen that would appear to be the guys 1080 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 2: that have the insight track to be the head coach. 1081 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,479 Speaker 2: But we haven't officially been introduced to the head coach. 1082 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 2: And by the way, we are four days away. 1083 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 3: From the draft. Okay, so let's. 1084 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 2: Get back to what this really has been about and 1085 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 2: the Woj versus Scham's rivalry wage Chams going back and 1086 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 2: forth in saying who is the guy that's been the 1087 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 2: lakers number one choice as the head coach. Now, I'm 1088 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 2: going to steal this analogy from Monsey from yesterday, but 1089 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,760 Speaker 2: watch me on this one, Rich. Let's assume that JJ 1090 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,240 Speaker 2: Reddick is indeed the next head coach the Lakers. 1091 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 3: Sure, so, if you. 1092 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 2: Go by Schaum's original reporting in The Atlantic or The Athletic, 1093 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 2: he reported that Reddick is the guy from day one, 1094 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Woj comes in and 1095 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:25,760 Speaker 2: said no, no, no. 1096 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 3: No, no, no, Dan Hurley was the number one guy. 1097 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 2: But Chalm's reporting about Reddick being the guy from day 1098 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 2: one made sense to a lot of people because of 1099 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 2: his association with Lebron James and the fact that they 1100 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:38,959 Speaker 2: co host a podcast and everything else. 1101 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,840 Speaker 3: But let's say this went this. 1102 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 2: Way, and again I'm stealing this from Monsey. So you're 1103 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,799 Speaker 2: telling Reddick you're the Lakers. You're telling Reddick you're the guy, 1104 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 2: but we recognize you got a job to do. 1105 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 3: In other words, you're. 1106 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 2: On the broadcast for the playoffs, so won't wait until 1107 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 2: after the NBA finals to get you the job. But 1108 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:04,280 Speaker 2: you're our guy. So let's say you're engaged to a woman. 1109 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 2: All right, you're engaged. You're engaged, right, and you've made 1110 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 2: it clear we're engaged. And then somebody comes up to 1111 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,720 Speaker 2: you and says, and this would be woj, Hey, guess 1112 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 2: guess who's interested in your job? 1113 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 3: Who? Dan Hurley? Two time? And see he's interested? 1114 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 2: Really yes, So this will be like you're engaged, but 1115 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, a much hotter girl suddenly is 1116 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 2: like you're told she really likes you. What you mean, 1117 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 2: she likes me? I know you're engaged, but she likes 1118 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,399 Speaker 2: you a lot. Okay, So then you go and then 1119 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 2: propose to that girl, and then she shoots you down saying, nah, no, 1120 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 2: not interested. Now you go back to your original fiance 1121 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,240 Speaker 2: and go, hey, ready to get married? 1122 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 3: If you're JJ Reddick, who buy the way? 1123 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 2: The reports are is going to be offered considerably less 1124 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 2: money than was the reported offer of Dan Hurley six years, 1125 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 2: seventy million dollars. We're talking about maybe in the eight million, 1126 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 2: seven to eight million dollar range. Not exactly chump change, 1127 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 2: but less money. If I'm at that press conference introduced 1128 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,320 Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, Yep, my question to him would be very simple, 1129 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 2: how do you feel about accepting a job after somebody 1130 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 2: else was offered more money than you and turned it down? 1131 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 2: Were you the guy from the get go? I mean, 1132 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,239 Speaker 2: there would be so many layers of the question. And 1133 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,760 Speaker 2: how would he react to being second choice for the job, because, 1134 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 2: according to woj yep, Hurley was their. 1135 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 3: Number one pick. Okay, but that's not what Seam said. 1136 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 3: Two things can be true at once. 1137 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 4: It may be true that Hurley was the Lakers' number 1138 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 4: one pick in terms of who their next coach would be, 1139 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,879 Speaker 4: but it wasn't Lebron's first pick. So Lebron James runs 1140 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 4: the Lakers. We all are aware of that. Clutch sports. 1141 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,440 Speaker 4: I mean, he runs the whole show, and every single 1142 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 4: decision made in that organization needs to be rubber stamped 1143 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 4: by Lebron James, otherwise he will throw a fit. 1144 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 3: There's no question about that. 1145 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,360 Speaker 4: By the way, as he should because his instincts has 1146 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 4: you know, taken him to South Beach and won him 1147 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 4: two championships with the Heat. His instincts brought him back 1148 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 4: to Cleveland when they finally padded the roster enough for 1149 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 4: him to make an entrance and compete against the Golden 1150 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,160 Speaker 4: State Warriors and win a championship back home with Cleveland. 1151 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 4: And then, to be perfectly honest with you, the Lakers 1152 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 4: won that championship in the bubble because of Lebron James, 1153 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 4: because he brought Anthony Davis, who's a clutch sport athlete 1154 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 4: with him, and they had a trade for him, and 1155 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 4: they traded dearly for him when. 1156 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 2: They were well rested, and so I have to get 1157 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 2: ready for the playoffs. It was perfectly set. Plus they 1158 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 2: were motivated by the tragic death of Kobe Bryant. 1159 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 4: But you don't have a d without Lebron, so you 1160 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 4: don't have a championship without Lebron. 1161 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 3: So I get it. 1162 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 4: If I were in Genie Buss and Rob Polinka's shoes, 1163 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,919 Speaker 4: I would do the same thing they're doing. I would 1164 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 4: give him free reign to make as many decisions as 1165 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 4: he feels comfortable, and keep him as happy as possible 1166 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 4: while he's still here, because guess what, people aren't coming 1167 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,959 Speaker 4: to see Rob Polinka and Genie Buss at Crypto dot 1168 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 4: Com Arena. They're coming there in their Lebron James jerseys 1169 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 4: to see Lebron James in the waning years of his 1170 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,720 Speaker 4: career where he's still a very effective ballplayer and still 1171 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 4: could play at a championship level. But I digress to 1172 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 4: talk about this next higher he wanted, JJ Redick. I 1173 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 4: have a feeling what happened, and this is my own speculation. 1174 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,800 Speaker 4: I have a feeling JJ Reddick wanted a boatload of money. 1175 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 4: And the reason why is because he understands, even though 1176 00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 4: he likes Lebron and he works with Lebron in a 1177 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 4: different capacity. And maybe this is partially because he works 1178 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 4: with Lebron in a different capacity, he really understands what 1179 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 4: this job will be. JJ Reddick will receive none of 1180 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 4: the credit. If this goes well for the Lakers, Lebron 1181 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 4: James not only will receive all the credit, but if 1182 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 4: JJ Redick is having success as a first time ever 1183 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 4: head coach, Lebron James is going to get credit for 1184 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 4: selecting hand selecting JJ Reddick to the position. So JJ 1185 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 4: Redick gets zero praise while Lebron James is still a 1186 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 4: Laker player On top of it, If things go sideways 1187 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,640 Speaker 4: at all, who's getting scapegoaded? Is it gonna be JJ 1188 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 4: Redick or is it gonna be Lebron James. Well, it's 1189 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 4: gonna be JJ Redick. 1190 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 2: So my guess is it's gonna be the Lakers for 1191 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 2: hiring JJ Riwa or the Lakers. 1192 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 4: But it won't be Lebron. I guess who's gonna walk 1193 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 4: the plank. It's not gonna be Politica, It's not gonna 1194 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 4: be Genie Buss. It's gonna be JJ Redick. So my 1195 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 4: point is what JJ Reddick probably did is he sat 1196 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 4: down with his representation and then went, JJ, You've got 1197 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 4: a pretty good life here as a broadcaster. You're making 1198 00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,600 Speaker 4: a good amount of money over here calling game on 1199 01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 4: your podcast circuit. You're making great money with advertisers, You're 1200 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 4: building your name in this space. You're one of the 1201 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 4: most trusted voices on NBA basketball. 1202 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 3: Do you really want to do this? 1203 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 2: Well, you're pointing out the fact that it's a lose 1204 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 2: lose for him. In other words, even if they win, 1205 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 2: it's a lose because he won't get the credits. 1206 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 3: So I bet maybe he deserves I bet you. 1207 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 2: I still don't have official word that he is the 1208 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 2: coach of this team. 1209 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 3: As a coach who is offered the. 1210 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 4: A pretty big contract, Like, let's talk about the contract. 1211 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 3: By the way, what was it was? Was it five 1212 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 3: years thirty two? Is that accurate? It was it four 1213 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 3: years thirty two? 1214 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 4: Four years thirty two million dollars right for a guy 1215 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,480 Speaker 4: who wasn't coach beyond youth level basketball. 1216 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,440 Speaker 3: And he did a great job with the youth teams. 1217 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 2: Well, but it's not six years seventy million that they 1218 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 2: offered Dan Hurley. 1219 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 4: But Dan Hurley has gone too back to back now 1220 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 4: champions but with players who by the way, who do 1221 01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 4: you believe the same age of the players who currently 1222 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:00,120 Speaker 4: play in the NBA. 1223 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 2: Be two different stories here, but Chams versus Woge. Chams 1224 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,480 Speaker 2: has maintained from the day that they fired Darvin ham 1225 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 2: both Reddick has been the guy that they were gonna hide, 1226 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,600 Speaker 2: I bet you, And it was until Woch came up 1227 01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 2: with that field. 1228 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 4: No, no, it was field, I bet you. Internally, the 1229 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 4: Lakers had designs to try that. 1230 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 2: Why didn't they interview him earlier they had him, They 1231 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 2: could have hired Dan Hurley this day. 1232 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 3: After Bron James runs the Lakers. 1233 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 4: Okay, and so when Lebron je never was the number 1234 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 4: one guy I spoke to, No, he wasn't like I said, 1235 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 4: he wasn't the Lakers meaning Genie Buss, meaning Rob Polinko 1236 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 4: wasn't there. And this is my own speculation, but I 1237 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 4: don't believe that they wanted JJ Reddick to be hired 1238 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 4: or to be offered the type. 1239 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 2: Of Well, then that would be my first question is 1240 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,439 Speaker 2: if if indeed Dan Hurley was the number one guy, 1241 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 2: and the only I say my question to to JJ 1242 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 2: Reddick would be simply this, JJ, do you believe if 1243 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 2: you were not the podcast partner Lebron James, you would 1244 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,600 Speaker 2: be the Lakers head coach right now? If you were 1245 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 2: not the podcast partner of Lebron James, do you believe 1246 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 2: right now you would be the head coach of the Lakers. 1247 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,920 Speaker 3: The answer is obviously no. The answer is obviously no. 1248 01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 4: Okayybody's getting he's getting hired off his relationship with him 1249 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 4: Lebron James. 1250 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 2: Look, that's what about the other players on the team. 1251 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 2: Do they count No? No, no, okay, Lebron's there, hold 1252 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 2: on very quickly. 1253 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 4: Let me lay this out for you. I think that 1254 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 4: Lebron James wanted JJ. I bet you he asked for 1255 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 4: an astronomical amount. The Lakers said, there's no way, Lebron. 1256 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 4: I mean, come on, dude. 1257 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 3: We're still paying Darvin ham by the way, yeah, like, 1258 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 3: what what are we doing here? Like he's he's never 1259 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 3: coached at any level. 1260 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 4: And then and then he probably finally acquiesced and said, well, listen, 1261 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 4: maybe if we go back to your plan A, since 1262 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 4: you guys are so caught up in Dan Hurley, offer 1263 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 4: him whatever it is you're gonna offer him. Float that 1264 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 4: to JJ, like, hey, buddy, we're gonna move on if 1265 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 4: you don't If if you got cold feet, that's fine, 1266 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 4: but like we're gonna move on and hire a coach 1267 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 4: if it ain't you. 1268 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 3: And so that's my guess is they tried to. 1269 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 4: Hel hold JJ Reddick's feet to the fire, using Dan 1270 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 4: Hurley as a prop. Dan Hurley didn't mind because guess 1271 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 4: what that does. That sweetens the deal that he can 1272 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 4: go back to Yukon and get with them and continue. 1273 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 4: In his mind, winning championships with Yukon but with a 1274 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 4: much higher salary, and then Lebron ends up getting his coach. 1275 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 4: So this is a win win win for all involved. 1276 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 4: Unless they struggle. Then it is a lose lose for 1277 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,920 Speaker 4: JJ Reddick because he will be handed all the blame 1278 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 4: and potentially, like Monty Williams after a season, get a 1279 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 4: boot to his. 1280 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 3: Back out the door. 1281 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 2: All right, there's another layer to this story we're gonna 1282 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 2: get to in a moment, but first let's. 1283 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 3: Find out what is trending right in a cope. 1284 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 9: All right, guys, the one thing I wanted to add, 1285 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 9: I know you're gonna get back to it. But the 1286 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 9: one thing in Woj's reporting I remember that doesn't make 1287 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,440 Speaker 9: sense is he was saying that Hurley was the target 1288 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 9: from the begin What are you doing for a month? Yeah, 1289 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 9: between firing Darvin Ham and lonating with him? 1290 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 2: Was the number one guy from the beginning, since his 1291 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 2: season already was long over. Yeah, it wasn't like, you know, 1292 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,080 Speaker 2: Reddicks to got a job to do. Hurley was available 1293 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,479 Speaker 2: day one and by the way, they didn't actually meet 1294 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 2: with Hurley until after the Woes report came out. 1295 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 4: That was a not so veiled threat to JJ Reddick, 1296 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,400 Speaker 4: you lower your number or we will find someone else. 1297 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 2: But you just gave him an offer of six years 1298 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 2: seventy million dollars. So if you're Reddick, you're like, what 1299 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 2: do you offering me? Four years thirty two million? But 1300 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 2: you offered him six years seventy million. You're offering serious 1301 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:42,040 Speaker 2: money to a serious coach. JJ Reddick again has never 1302 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 2: coached outside of the Christian youth athletically, but his argument 1303 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 2: is Dan Hurley has never spent one day in the 1304 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 2: NBA on any level. 1305 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 3: I get it, but but I mean you can make 1306 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 3: it look you could. 1307 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 10: You could spend this National Championships. 1308 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, you could spend this a million different ways to 1309 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 4: showcase how much more Dan Hurley has experienced coaching. 1310 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 9: All he knows the Big East. Come on, I also 1311 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 9: want to know. I don't know if you guys remember that. 1312 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 9: I forget who JJ Redick went on a show with, 1313 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 9: but it was right when stuff was heating up and 1314 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 9: he was asked about, you know, addressing the job. He 1315 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 9: said he was gonna address Sean specifically after the finals, 1316 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 9: as if. 1317 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,160 Speaker 10: He had an issue with it. It was some of 1318 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 10: Sham's reporting. 1319 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 3: The Golic podcast. 1320 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 10: You remember that? Yeah, right, what was that all about? 1321 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 9: Because Sean, you know, yeah, I'm curious to see if 1322 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 9: we find out what that was all about too. 1323 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I am. We probably won't. 1324 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,479 Speaker 4: To be perfectly honest with you, we probably won't because 1325 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 4: I bet you the Lakers probably. 1326 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 3: Won't want him to. Yeah. 1327 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 4: But but but the reality of the situation is I well, 1328 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 4: actually I don't know what the nobody knows what the 1329 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 4: reality of the situation. What it feels like is happening 1330 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 4: is JJ wanted more money than the Lakers were willing 1331 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 4: to spend on a first time coach, and so they 1332 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 4: had to pivot and they and they kind of had 1333 01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,479 Speaker 4: to put the screws to JJ. Now, by the way, 1334 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 4: this is all saying even without experience, I'm really curious 1335 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,840 Speaker 4: how JJ Reddick looks at. 1336 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 3: We'll get to that, and I think he could have success. 1337 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, I digress again. 1338 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:21,040 Speaker 9: Where do you guys stand on jinxing perfect games or 1339 01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 9: no hitters in baseball? Uh? 1340 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,440 Speaker 3: You talking about it? I don't believe in that at all. Okay. 1341 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 2: By the way, by the way, Vince Scully called more 1342 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 2: no hitters than any announcer in the history of Baseball 1343 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 2: he would refer to a no hitter while it was happening. 1344 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 9: I'm in full agreement, so I don't when do you 1345 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 9: start to lean forward. 1346 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 3: You got to get to the six. You got to 1347 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 3: get through six. 1348 01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 9: Okay, Sonny Gray has just started the six and the 1349 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,440 Speaker 9: Giants don't have a base runner against Cardinals. 1350 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 2: Okay, because we has had somebody lifted from a seven 1351 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 2: to inty no hitter having thrown less than one hundred pitches. 1352 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, Sonny, Sonny Gray has been efficient. He's only had 1353 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 9: fifty nine pitches. Just got the first soul. We'll keep well, 1354 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 9: keep tabs on it. Still a little early, but we'll 1355 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 9: keep tabs on that. In Saint Louis, Cardinals leading four 1356 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 9: to nothing. Baseball News, Blue Jays infielder Aurelvis Martinez has 1357 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 9: been suspended eighty games for violating the league's performance enhancing 1358 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 9: drug policy.

And 1377 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 9: then finally guys coming up in about twenty five minutes, 1378 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 9: you got another battle between kayl and Clark and Angel 1379 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 9: Reese the fever against this guy. 1380 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 3: Back to you, all right, Nick, thank you very much. 1381 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 3: Once again. 1382 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,720 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Hartman and Rich Ornberger 1383 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 2: with you. All right, So now we have the draft 1384 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 2: coming up, and by the way, if you look at 1385 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 2: these mock drafts, there is one pick in the sixty 1386 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,799 Speaker 2: picks in this draft that everybody agrees upon. At number 1387 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 2: fifty five, the Lakers will take Bronnie James out of 1388 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 2: USC that is now absolutely etched in stone. So we 1389 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 2: have this curious case of still no introduction for the 1390 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,040 Speaker 2: Lakers on their new head coach, and the draft is 1391 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 2: going to be three more days. And I'm thinking to myself, 1392 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 2: all right, if you had the introductory introduction of JJ 1393 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 2: reddig Is the new case head coach before the draft, 1394 01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,800 Speaker 2: one of the obvious questions would be something along the 1395 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 2: lines of, well, JJ, I know you recognize that being 1396 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,560 Speaker 2: the head coach of the Lakers with lebron James Anthony Davis, 1397 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 2: anything less than winning a championship is deemed a failure. 1398 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 2: Do you believe that drafting Bronnie James in the second 1399 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 2: round is going to help you win this championship immediately? 1400 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 2: Because that's what people are expecting. You think that is 1401 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 2: a good choice in terms of the urgency to the 1402 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 2: Lakers to win a championship. Well, that's a very awkward question. 1403 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,880 Speaker 2: But what would his answer be? Well, check this out. 1404 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 2: I think if this is intentionally done. JJ Reddick and 1405 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:49,360 Speaker 2: his camp are geniuses. I would drag my feet on 1406 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 2: signing this contract too. I would let until after the draft. 1407 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,679 Speaker 2: I would let the Lakers draft Bronnie James before I'm 1408 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,520 Speaker 2: the head coach. Exactly, why would. 1409 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 4: I rush into a situation where they go, JJ, what 1410 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 4: say did you have when the Lakers were drafting Bronnie James? 1411 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,320 Speaker 4: And what type of player do you think Bronnie James is? 1412 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 4: And why did you want him on the roster if 1413 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 4: you were involved in the selection? No thanks, no thanks. 1414 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 4: Day one on the job. I'm answering those questions. No thanks. 1415 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 4: Week one on the job. Now Lakers draft Brownie James, 1416 01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 4: I drag my feet a little bit. I hammer out 1417 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:31,560 Speaker 4: the contract details and the incentives, the incentives in air quotes. Meanwhile, 1418 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,719 Speaker 4: I know my guys know that we're just waiting until 1419 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,280 Speaker 4: after the draft. He signed your contract, and then they say, so, JJ, 1420 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 4: you're the new head coach, Bronni's on your team, what 1421 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 4: do you think of him as a player? Much different 1422 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:49,599 Speaker 4: conversation than what participation did you have in selecting Brownie? 1423 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:50,839 Speaker 3: Very different discussion. 1424 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 2: I'll take it even a step further, so Lebron James 1425 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 2: has this player option for fifty one million that he 1426 01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 2: still hasn't signed, right, yep. 1427 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 3: Two things for him to sign that deal. 1428 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:08,519 Speaker 2: One JJ Reddick gets the head coaching job, and two 1429 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:10,639 Speaker 2: Bronnie's a Laker. 1430 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1431 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,680 Speaker 2: Well, the fact of the matter is, as far as 1432 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 2: JJ Reddick is concerned, it could be Lebron telling JJ 1433 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 2: just hold on a second. Yeah, yeah, until we get Bronnie, 1434 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent committed to playing for the 1435 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 2: Laker organization. Phoenix Suns may sneak in and grab Bronni. 1436 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 2: There may be a team out there in an effort 1437 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,080 Speaker 2: to get my services, will take Bronni, knowing that's what 1438 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,240 Speaker 2: I want to do. Of Course, publicly he's downplayed off. 1439 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 2: It's not a big deal to me, you know that, 1440 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,679 Speaker 2: just talk. This has been something he has openly talked 1441 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,800 Speaker 2: about for the last five years. 1442 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,800 Speaker 3: Wants to play with his son. He wants to play 1443 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 3: with his son. 1444 01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,599 Speaker 2: So, but he's probably telling JJ, if we don't get him, 1445 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 2: don't take this job. Yeah, well, where you got a 1446 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 2: good job right now? Like I said, I want you 1447 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 2: to be the coach, but only if I'm here. 1448 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,720 Speaker 4: There might be Honestly, look there's NDAs signed during these 1449 01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 4: contract negotiations. 1450 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 3: You're not allowed to go to the public with this. 1451 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,599 Speaker 3: We're not allowed to go to the public with this. 1452 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 4: I bet you there could be a pre contract in place, 1453 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,680 Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is a contract that 1454 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 4: has nothing to do with monies. Maybe maybe there it's 1455 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 4: a promisory note like something like, hey, we will pay 1456 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,679 Speaker 4: you the contract that we've agreed to if two things happen, 1457 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 4: and a is Lebron James signs his contract and be 1458 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:43,200 Speaker 4: we draft Brownie James, right, And maybe this is almost 1459 01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 4: like an olive branch from JJ to Lebron. So if 1460 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 4: you're gonna help me out, JJ, you got to help me. 1461 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 4: You got the It needs to be a reciprocal task. 1462 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,080 Speaker 4: You need to make sure that you hold the Lakers 1463 01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 4: accountable to otherwise they're gonna look like they have. 1464 01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:58,320 Speaker 3: Egg on their face. 1465 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,720 Speaker 4: They don't get the coach, they don't get kid, they 1466 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 4: don't get the goat night. 1467 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 3: And that's how it goes exactly. 1468 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 2: And if if Lebron's gone, why would JJ Reddick take 1469 01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:07,360 Speaker 2: that joke. 1470 01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,959 Speaker 4: Lebron's gone, it means Bronni's not there, right, If Bronni's 1471 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,880 Speaker 4: not there, and why would JJ go and coach the 1472 01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 4: Lebron list Lakers and he would just go back to 1473 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,639 Speaker 4: the house. Not And that's the whole point. So why 1474 01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 4: is there a delay on Reddick? It's simple. 1475 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,680 Speaker 2: They stopped to wait on the draft on Wednesday to 1476 01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 2: see if they're gonna get Bronnie James. 1477 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:27,879 Speaker 3: And they still have to get that extension. 1478 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,840 Speaker 2: And by the way, you know, Lebron's not going to 1479 01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,719 Speaker 2: pick up a player option unless they're added years added 1480 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:33,679 Speaker 2: to that deal. 1481 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 3: So there's still a lot of pieces. What a mess. 1482 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 2: This has become an absolute embarrassment for the Lakers organization. 1483 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,479 Speaker 2: All right, coming up on the other side, let's talk 1484 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 2: about the basketball league everyone talks about. It's called the 1485 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 2: w NBA. They got storylines we actually have interest in. 1486 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 2: We'll break it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve 1487 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,160 Speaker 2: Hartman and Retch Ororenberger Here Fox Sports Sunday.

And I know 1492 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 4: this sounds controversial. Growing up in New York as a 1493 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,920 Speaker 4: New Yorker, it's pepperoni or cheese, but I hollapanos and pepperoni. 1494 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good call. How about some fresh garlic on 1495 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 3: top of that? 1496 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,160 Speaker 4: You know the garlic. I'll add the garlic this time. 1497 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:30,000 Speaker 4: I added the garlic. 1498 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 3: I like it. It's good for the heart. 1499 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,920 Speaker 2: If you eat that entire pizza, it will not be 1500 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 2: but one slice of that. 1501 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:38,679 Speaker 3: It's good. 1502 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 2: That's right, all right, As I burp right into the 1503 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:47,719 Speaker 2: mic hey A right. WNBA Sky versus Fever. How many 1504 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:52,439 Speaker 2: people actually knew the name of the Indiana franchise of 1505 01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 2: the w NBA before Caitlin Clark was drafted. 1506 01:14:55,680 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 4: No, dude, no nobody. He didn't have a fever hat. 1507 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 4: I didn't have a fever hat or a scar for 1508 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:03,599 Speaker 4: a jersey. 1509 01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 3: How about the Chicago Sky? Did you know that team? 1510 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 3: So the Sky? No? 1511 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 1: No? 1512 01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 4: In fact, I still struggle sometimes because I'll play gaily 1513 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:17,759 Speaker 4: Fantasy sometimes and it'll be like Caitlin Clark is playing 1514 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 4: against atl I'm like, well. 1515 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 3: I'm fairly certain that's still Atlanta. 1516 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 4: Let me think Atlanta and I play this game with 1517 01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a game with myself. I'll just be like, 1518 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,799 Speaker 4: all right, well, let me try to think if I 1519 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 4: know the team name for the w NBA Atlanta team 1520 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,559 Speaker 4: off the top of my head, and so I'll just 1521 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,439 Speaker 4: sit there and be like, I'll be like, Okay, is 1522 01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:42,320 Speaker 4: it the Atlanta the Atlanta? 1523 01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 3: What's in Atlanta? The Atlanta? I don't know. 1524 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 4: The Atlanta weather. No, that's that can't be it's too normal. 1525 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,520 Speaker 4: The Atlanta beaches, the Atlanta. 1526 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 2: About the beaches, beaches in Atlanta, in Atlanta. 1527 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 3: But how about this, do you know what the Atlanta 1528 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,880 Speaker 3: team's name is? The Atlanta Morris Sets. 1529 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 4: That was actually a good one, huh. 1530 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:12,280 Speaker 2: It is the Atlanta Dream, the Atlanta Dream. Of course, 1531 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 2: it's always been a dream. 1532 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,840 Speaker 4: Well so, dude, like I mean, but so the answer 1533 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 4: to your question is absolutely not. And the only reason 1534 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,120 Speaker 4: why I would even know that is because of Caitlin 1535 01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:25,719 Speaker 4: Clark's impact on the WNBA. It has brought so much 1536 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:30,439 Speaker 4: more fame or infamy, depending on what side you land 1537 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:31,560 Speaker 4: on this debate. 1538 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:32,400 Speaker 3: To the league. 1539 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 2: Well, the bottom line is her team is actually what's 1540 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:36,759 Speaker 2: been interesting over the last. 1541 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 3: Couple of days. Finally the fever of a winning streak. 1542 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 2: They won four in a row, and now we're getting 1543 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 2: vocal support of her by her teammates. 1544 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:46,439 Speaker 3: Her teammates have been. 1545 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,599 Speaker 2: By and large the Boston girl who is the number 1546 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 2: one overall picking the draft lash out of South Carolina 1547 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 2: now is publicly stating about, you know, some of the 1548 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,640 Speaker 2: turnovers and everything else, that it's really on all of us. 1549 01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 2: You know, it's not all on her. We just got 1550 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:01,760 Speaker 2: to get used to her game on all these turnovers. 1551 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 2: So she's now getting support from her teammates because they're winning. 1552 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,400 Speaker 2: Remember you start the season zh to four, you know, 1553 01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 2: they had a horrific start, and you're a teammate like 1554 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,599 Speaker 2: this girl's getting all this attention. We're losing more games 1555 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,679 Speaker 2: than ever, it's hard to buy in. Well, now they're 1556 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,040 Speaker 2: actually winning games, So she is getting support from her teammates. 1557 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 2: But for the people going to this game today again, 1558 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 2: tickets are going for ten times what they were going 1559 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 2: for the exact same matchup a year ago, ten times. 1560 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:28,559 Speaker 3: The ticket price. 1561 01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,640 Speaker 2: And it's all because of this Angel Reese dynamic with 1562 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,719 Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark. So the last time they played, Angel Reaves 1563 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 2: dropped the hammer on her on her head, she goes down, 1564 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,639 Speaker 2: she gets a flagrant foul out of it, And these 1565 01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,920 Speaker 2: are the kind of things Angel Reeves. Believe me, she's 1566 01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,800 Speaker 2: a marketing genius. She knows as long as she attaches 1567 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,320 Speaker 2: herself to Caitlin Clark, it's going to be good for 1568 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 2: her social media followings and everything else. By the way, 1569 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 2: the All Star voting's coming out, She's in the top 1570 01:17:56,280 --> 01:18:00,160 Speaker 2: seven of the All Star voting. Angels, Angel reas be 1571 01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 2: the case for a rookie like her if she wasn't 1572 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 2: attached to Kaitlin Clark. 1573 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 3: Obviously, the answer is no. 1574 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 2: So if you're going to that game today or watching 1575 01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,320 Speaker 2: that game today, what you want to see is a 1576 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 2: repeat performance from Ange Reese. 1577 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,599 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, drop the hammer. 1578 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,760 Speaker 2: Well, at some point, Kaitlin Clark may just have her 1579 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 2: breaking points, saying I can't take this anymore, and she 1580 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,840 Speaker 2: jumps up to essentially defend herself. Can you imagine if 1581 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:33,719 Speaker 2: we actually had a full on brawl between Kaitlin Clark 1582 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:35,560 Speaker 2: and Angel Reese. 1583 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:39,960 Speaker 4: Or or another Chicago player puts a hit out on 1584 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark. So clearly it was Kennedy Carter, who, by 1585 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 4: the way, the only reason why I know her name 1586 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:49,080 Speaker 4: is because she, I mean cleared out Caitlyn Clark off 1587 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 4: the baseline. 1588 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 3: We're not talking about Kennedy Carter anymore now that Rese. 1589 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 4: Well, she was the most recent one. But what happens 1590 01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 4: if another Chicago player wants to get the spot. 1591 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,800 Speaker 2: Imagine and with all their history with Angel Reese and 1592 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,559 Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark, if it actually got down to a brawl 1593 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 2: like we saw, oh doctor J put a headlock on 1594 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:10,360 Speaker 2: Larry Bird. 1595 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,600 Speaker 4: At one point, there would be nothing like it.

Very disappointing games so far. 1928 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:31,480 Speaker 2: No heart fouls, no fights, nothing, just basketball. 1929 01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:33,160 Speaker 3: It's not what I'm watching. 1930 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:36,880 Speaker 5: High scoring for WNBA game twenty four to twenty three, 1931 01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:39,160 Speaker 5: with one hundred minute to goo, let's stop. You're on 1932 01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:44,439 Speaker 5: pace for a ninety eight ninety three count damp stop stop, Steve. 1933 01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:48,160 Speaker 2: One's only reason I'm watching this game is to see 1934 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 2: Angel Rees put the hammer down on Caitland Clark and 1935 01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:53,080 Speaker 2: now Caitlin Clark defending herself. 1936 01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:53,479 Speaker 3: Okay, so. 1937 01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:59,160 Speaker 5: Angel Reese is defending paired up against Melyssa Smith and 1938 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,640 Speaker 5: Angel Reicas hit a couple of layups, and she has 1939 01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,000 Speaker 5: given the stink guy and some some trash talk to 1940 01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:04,840 Speaker 5: Melissa Smith. 1941 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 3: It's getting it's. 1942 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,200 Speaker 5: Getting hot, she's trying to agitate, it's getting hot. 1943 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:10,000 Speaker 3: Here's caggle. 1944 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,920 Speaker 2: So when something like that actually happens, we'll call attention 1945 01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 2: to it. Uh, you remember when Aaron Rodgers said call 1946 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:25,240 Speaker 2: it a boast or whatever that people are sort of 1947 01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:27,960 Speaker 2: like obsessed with me, like either like you like me 1948 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:30,360 Speaker 2: or you hate me. People always want to talk about me. 1949 01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 2: So it happened again. The Jets had mandatory mini camps 1950 01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:43,880 Speaker 2: mandatory he didn't show and the Jets even said it 1951 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:48,559 Speaker 2: was unexcused. He just didn't show up. And so there 1952 01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,559 Speaker 2: was a lot of buzz in the media and everything else. 1953 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:54,920 Speaker 2: But then Julian Edelman, a fellow Super Bowl MVP, called 1954 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,559 Speaker 2: him out talking about the fact that Tom Brady may 1955 01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,320 Speaker 2: have missed a few OTAs along the way after twenty 1956 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:04,519 Speaker 2: years in the league, but as far as mandatory mini camp, 1957 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 2: you never missed a single one, especially when you've been 1958 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,040 Speaker 2: out the whole year, You're coming off the injury, and 1959 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:14,679 Speaker 2: you got some new players, some new receivers. Yeah, there's 1960 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:19,000 Speaker 2: some value to that mandatory mini camp to sort of 1961 01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,840 Speaker 2: show the team that hey, I'm back, I'm ready to go, 1962 01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,120 Speaker 2: introduce yourself to some of your teammates, some of the receivers. 1963 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:27,240 Speaker 3: Just throw the ball around. Doesn't mean you have to, 1964 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:31,439 Speaker 3: you know, jeopardize yourself health wise. It just being there as. 1965 01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:35,000 Speaker 2: The leader of the team. So where do you stand 1966 01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 2: right now in this whole Aaron, What are you expecting 1967 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:42,200 Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers this season? Because my expectations, by the way, 1968 01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:43,519 Speaker 2: are zero. 1969 01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:47,880 Speaker 4: Oh okay, no, we're very different places. My expectations of 1970 01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:51,040 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers are the same thing that I expected from 1971 01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:55,200 Speaker 4: the Jets a year ago. The Jets are a super 1972 01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,439 Speaker 4: Bowl caliber team in terms of their talent. They were 1973 01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:01,640 Speaker 4: a quarterback away last year, and I feel strongly that 1974 01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:05,080 Speaker 4: they're still there and Aaron Rodgers has to show up 1975 01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:07,240 Speaker 4: and be ready to play at a super Bowl level 1976 01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:11,599 Speaker 4: otherwise this is a failure. Now, look, if you aim 1977 01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:15,000 Speaker 4: for the super Bowl and you fall short after sneaking 1978 01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:18,120 Speaker 4: in as a wild card and giving a great run 1979 01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 4: in the divisional round or you know, you make it 1980 01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 4: to the AFC Championship as a divisional winner and you 1981 01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:25,320 Speaker 4: just get flamed. 1982 01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,920 Speaker 3: By I don't know, name it the Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens. Whatever. 1983 01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:32,479 Speaker 4: Okay, well, I'm sure Nick or Jets fans they can 1984 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 4: handle that. But the reality of the situation is that's 1985 01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:41,720 Speaker 4: a really really good defense that was a horribly under utilized, 1986 01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:43,720 Speaker 4: talented offense. 1987 01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:44,639 Speaker 3: With a really bad coach. 1988 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Robert Salaz proven to me he is not 1989 01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:49,559 Speaker 2: a good head. 1990 01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 3: What what coach looks good without a great quarterback? I 1991 01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,799 Speaker 3: mean so few. You need a great quarterback in this league. 1992 01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,000 Speaker 4: I mean, and name a great like great, great, great, 1993 01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:02,639 Speaker 4: great head coach that didn't have a great quarterback. It's 1994 01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,240 Speaker 4: hard to do, and it's because it's a quarterback driven 1995 01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 4: league and it always has been. 1996 01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:08,759 Speaker 2: You had a quarterback it took with a second overall 1997 01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:12,000 Speaker 2: pick who had ample opportunity to show I don't know, 1998 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,120 Speaker 2: improvement over three years. 1999 01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:15,879 Speaker 3: Did he He's stunk? 2000 01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,840 Speaker 2: Look he will he ever looked like he got any 2001 01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 2: kind of coaching or anything that made his game better. 2002 01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 4: No, don't get me wrong, he didn't develop, and that 2003 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,360 Speaker 4: could be on the Jets, or it could be on 2004 01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:32,679 Speaker 4: the player. But here's my guess. You put Aaron Rodgers 2005 01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,000 Speaker 4: out there healthy last year. Jets are a playoff team. 2006 01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:39,120 Speaker 4: Jets are a playoff team. Look that's my expectation. Now 2007 01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:42,680 Speaker 4: I could be horribly wrong. Aaron Rodgers could be the 2008 01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:46,840 Speaker 4: wrong choice, or Aaron Rodgers could be done. It's possible. 2009 01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:49,280 Speaker 4: But I have belief in Aaron Rodgers and his talent. 2010 01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:53,640 Speaker 4: I have belief in him as a superlative quarterback in 2011 01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:54,040 Speaker 4: this league. 2012 01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:57,639 Speaker 3: Head belief in him as a team leader. Here's the problem. 2013 01:39:57,720 --> 01:39:59,880 Speaker 3: Leadership is an interesting. 2014 01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:01,439 Speaker 4: Conversation when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, and there's a 2015 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 4: lot of different ways to lead do. I think it 2016 01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:08,240 Speaker 4: was smart for him to miss mandatory mini camp, especially 2017 01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,000 Speaker 4: if it wasn't excused by the coach, coaching staff and 2018 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,759 Speaker 4: the and the you know, the general manager and whoever 2019 01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:15,040 Speaker 4: else that he had to try to. 2020 01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:15,800 Speaker 3: Okay, that'd be. 2021 01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 2: One of those other teammates that you know obviously don't 2022 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:20,840 Speaker 2: want to be there, but because it's mandatory, they were there. 2023 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:22,679 Speaker 3: I agree with what Julian Edelman said. 2024 01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:25,640 Speaker 4: I think it's a bad look and look, Jules, he 2025 01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,280 Speaker 4: was a former teammate of mine, Julian Edelman is the 2026 01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:32,160 Speaker 4: perfect example of a tryhard guy who turned himself into 2027 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:33,200 Speaker 4: something great. 2028 01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:37,320 Speaker 2: Self made play oh unbelieved little help from Tom. 2029 01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,320 Speaker 4: Brow Now listen, he but he had to work his 2030 01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 4: ass off to gain Tom brady trust. Tom Brady had 2031 01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,080 Speaker 4: Wes Welker when Julian Edelman cracked that roster by the 2032 01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,280 Speaker 4: way as a seventh round quarterback. 2033 01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 3: Right, he was a quarterback in college and he was 2034 01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,440 Speaker 3: return teams guys turned. 2035 01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:59,200 Speaker 4: Punt gunner on the outside, running down to make tackle. 2036 01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:01,679 Speaker 4: I mean, like this guy did all he was Basically 2037 01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:04,160 Speaker 4: he was the repair guy on this day. I mean, 2038 01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:05,960 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I saw him plunging a toilet at 2039 01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,679 Speaker 4: one point, anything to stay on this team. And then 2040 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,000 Speaker 4: he endeared himself to Tom Brady when they moved him 2041 01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:15,040 Speaker 4: to receiver because he basically chased him around the country 2042 01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:18,960 Speaker 4: or internationally during the offseason, begging him to throw it right. 2043 01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,000 Speaker 3: So you work out with him on the beaches, whatever 2044 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:21,400 Speaker 3: you're doing. 2045 01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:24,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever it was, it was hip pocket. If Tom 2046 01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,439 Speaker 4: needed a receiver to throw to, Julian would be there 2047 01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,880 Speaker 4: within minutes. And so that's how he earned his way 2048 01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:31,240 Speaker 4: onto roster. So for Julian Edelman, who, like you said, 2049 01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:35,160 Speaker 4: fell a Super Bowl MVP, several Super Bowl championships won 2050 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,719 Speaker 4: while he played with the Patriots. If Julian Edelman says 2051 01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:42,280 Speaker 4: that it's it's unexcused is a bad look, I. 2052 01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 3: Agree with him. Well, he brought up Tom Brady, Yeah, 2053 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:45,000 Speaker 3: he said. Yeah. 2054 01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:48,360 Speaker 2: Later in his career, would he miss a couple of OTAs, Sure, 2055 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:52,599 Speaker 2: but mandatory mini camp No, never once missed him. 2056 01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,439 Speaker 4: Now, now again, there's a lot of different ways to lead. 2057 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 4: You know, there's the Bill Belichi and there's. 2058 01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:00,439 Speaker 3: A message of the air Rodgers. 2059 01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 2: What's his message to his teammates not showing up for 2060 01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,799 Speaker 2: managementory mini camps when he has no excuse? 2061 01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:10,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean other than the fact that he just 2062 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:11,639 Speaker 3: didn't want to go. 2063 01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:15,800 Speaker 4: By the way, the excuse is I'm Aaron Rodgers and 2064 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 4: I knew I could. 2065 01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know if that's really endearing to a team. 2066 01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:21,000 Speaker 4: I'm not a same sport. But I'm just sorry. I'm 2067 01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:24,519 Speaker 4: telling you that's the excuse. It's it's I missed it 2068 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 4: because I knew I could. Because if you fly in 2069 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 4: a football team, it's not a good look. I'm telling you, 2070 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:30,719 Speaker 4: nobody likes. 2071 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:36,400 Speaker 2: It more than any other sport. It's a team sport. 2072 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:39,320 Speaker 2: Now doesn't matter how big your celebrity is, you have 2073 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:41,040 Speaker 2: to be part of that team. 2074 01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:46,360 Speaker 4: Now. Now again, he could have this, you know whatever, 2075 01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,840 Speaker 4: it is obstacle that he's created for himself in terms 2076 01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:53,880 Speaker 4: of being a team leader this offseason. He goes into 2077 01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:56,920 Speaker 4: this season, and if he plays well, he's obviously gonna 2078 01:42:56,920 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 4: curry favor with this roster and water under the bridge. 2079 01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,880 Speaker 4: But if he struggles, if he goes out there and 2080 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 4: he's not Aaron Rodgers, if he goes out there and 2081 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,280 Speaker 4: he looks unprepared, if he goes out there and he 2082 01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,120 Speaker 4: doesn't look healthy, if he goes out there and he's 2083 01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:15,559 Speaker 4: he's and they're losing, even if he's playing kind of 2084 01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 4: well and they're losing, I'm telling you that media landscape is. 2085 01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:21,960 Speaker 3: Waiting to pounce on him. 2086 01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:26,240 Speaker 4: That team now has an excuse to go after him 2087 01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 4: because of his unexcused absence. And there will be players 2088 01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:33,439 Speaker 4: in that locker room who I promise you will if 2089 01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,479 Speaker 4: things go sideways, because by the way, there's a lot 2090 01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,880 Speaker 4: of different opinions in a locker room. Like you said, 2091 01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 4: it's a team, and it's a huge team. You're talking 2092 01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,559 Speaker 4: about fifty plus people who are impactful on a roster. 2093 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:45,759 Speaker 2: It's not an accident.

And by the way, this will not 2146 01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,000 Speaker 4: be a story if they start off four and one, 2147 01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:28,120 Speaker 4: if they're coming home from a London trip and they've 2148 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:29,800 Speaker 4: won four games, and if. 2149 01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,840 Speaker 3: They're hosting the Bills in their next game, they're gonna 2150 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:33,360 Speaker 3: be fine. 2151 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:36,880 Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna be talking about the OTAs or the mini camps. 2152 01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:37,840 Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna care. 2153 01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:40,960 Speaker 4: But if they come, if they lurch out of the gate, 2154 01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:44,080 Speaker 4: if this team is struggling early, even if they look 2155 01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,519 Speaker 4: a little wonky offensively, even if it's one of those 2156 01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:49,559 Speaker 4: things where hey, you know they're three and two, but 2157 01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:53,280 Speaker 4: Rogers doesn't look comfortable with this offense, people are going 2158 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:56,320 Speaker 4: to be referencing the fact, well, maybe that mini camp 2159 01:46:56,439 --> 01:46:57,160 Speaker 4: was everything. 2160 01:46:57,320 --> 01:47:00,479 Speaker 3: The truth is it probably isn't. But the mess sent 2161 01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:01,200 Speaker 3: to his roster. 2162 01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:04,200 Speaker 4: Is I care about whatever it was I was doing 2163 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,080 Speaker 4: rather than being here with you guys. That is the 2164 01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:09,840 Speaker 4: problem with missing that mini camp, and that's the problem 2165 01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:13,080 Speaker 4: with missing it with it with without an excuse. Now, 2166 01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,400 Speaker 4: I don't know if this was a situation where everybody 2167 01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:18,160 Speaker 4: was expecting Rogers to show up and he didn't and 2168 01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:21,320 Speaker 4: that's the reason why it was regarded unexcused. I don't 2169 01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:25,559 Speaker 4: know if this was a situation where he had told them, hey, 2170 01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:27,800 Speaker 4: this is the reason why I want to miss mini 2171 01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:29,960 Speaker 4: camp and they said, well, that's not a reason we 2172 01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:34,320 Speaker 4: permit anybody to miss mini camp. Whatever the disagreement was, 2173 01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:36,880 Speaker 4: the fact that it was handled the way it was 2174 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,960 Speaker 4: handled is a bad look for Aaron Rodgers and frankly 2175 01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:43,519 Speaker 4: a bad look for the Jets because now this becomes 2176 01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:44,160 Speaker 4: a story. 2177 01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:47,200 Speaker 2: I knew that they had six primetime games, the most 2178 01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:50,000 Speaker 2: in the league, but after that opening game, Monday night 2179 01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:53,280 Speaker 2: game at San Francisco, their next five primetime games are 2180 01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:53,840 Speaker 2: all at home. 2181 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:58,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's before their bye week.

Go Now, everyone wants 2278 01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:50,559 Speaker 2: to talk to you after the game. Would you pull 2279 01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:54,160 Speaker 2: to Rory McElroy as he left the grounds after choking 2280 01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:57,840 Speaker 2: those two putts on sixteen to eighteen and jetted out 2281 01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:00,840 Speaker 2: of town and did not face them, How would you 2282 01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:01,400 Speaker 2: have handled that? 2283 01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:03,800 Speaker 4: I don't think I would have done that. Now, I 2284 01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:08,840 Speaker 4: can't speak for I've never been in that situation, so 2285 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:12,120 Speaker 4: I can't say for certain, but I like to trust 2286 01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:15,240 Speaker 4: myself that I would have handled it with a little 2287 01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:19,000 Speaker 4: bit more dignity and composure than Rory did. If I 2288 01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:22,280 Speaker 4: was in a situation where, you know, sometimes sports don't 2289 01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:24,679 Speaker 4: work out, and sometimes you're the reason why it doesn't 2290 01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:28,120 Speaker 4: work out. Your mistakes cost your team or yourself a 2291 01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:29,960 Speaker 4: chance to experience real glory. 2292 01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,559 Speaker 2: Well, this is an individual sports. There's certainly no one 2293 01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:33,240 Speaker 2: else to blame. 2294 01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:37,080 Speaker 4: I mean, and and that's the facts, Like you know, 2295 01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:39,240 Speaker 4: and he knows what's expected of him. This is in 2296 01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:42,320 Speaker 4: a situation where he's some you know, amateur, just got 2297 01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:45,920 Speaker 4: his pro card, and you know, he didn't realize that 2298 01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:47,680 Speaker 4: there was going to be a big problem with him 2299 01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:53,200 Speaker 4: leaving the course. Rory, I'm curious if this one didn't 2300 01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:56,360 Speaker 4: hurt him more than some of the other hit he 2301 01:53:56,400 --> 01:53:58,760 Speaker 4: had had to because he had it won. 2302 01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:01,960 Speaker 2: He had a one shot lead to play. He misses 2303 01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:05,439 Speaker 2: two three footers. If he hits them both, he wins 2304 01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:06,200 Speaker 2: the US Open. 2305 01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:10,599 Speaker 4: He's he's an interesting character, like this guy was when 2306 01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:14,439 Speaker 4: he was first coming into golf. He was he was 2307 01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:16,639 Speaker 4: supposed to be the next Tiger Woods, and he looked 2308 01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:18,559 Speaker 4: like he was going to be pretty close. He got 2309 01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:22,200 Speaker 4: the the billion dollar contractor hundreds of million dollar contract 2310 01:54:22,200 --> 01:54:23,360 Speaker 4: with Nike Golf. 2311 01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:25,719 Speaker 3: Boom thrattled up for majors like that. 2312 01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:28,439 Speaker 4: I mean, and he was on pace to scorch the 2313 01:54:28,520 --> 01:54:31,400 Speaker 4: PJA for years to come. And then it just it 2314 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:34,800 Speaker 4: just settled, and it settled into this weird space where 2315 01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:35,520 Speaker 4: he's still. 2316 01:54:35,280 --> 01:54:36,920 Speaker 3: An extremely talented golfer. 2317 01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:40,120 Speaker 4: He's always at the top of the leaderboard, but where 2318 01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:44,440 Speaker 4: he settles is like he's always the bridesmaid. Like he 2319 01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:48,000 Speaker 4: makes these incredible runs through Thursday and Friday and sometimes 2320 01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:49,200 Speaker 4: even Saturday, but then. 2321 01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:52,920 Speaker 3: He cools off. Yeah, and this was the worst example 2322 01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:55,120 Speaker 3: of that. Here's one. This was a choke job. 2323 01:54:55,160 --> 01:54:57,520 Speaker 4: Here's one thing I do know is there was a 2324 01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:02,400 Speaker 4: documentary crew apparently with him, who had cameras on him. 2325 01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:06,120 Speaker 3: I assume who left with him. So I can't wait 2326 01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,440 Speaker 3: to see that documentary. I think it was. I think 2327 01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:11,240 Speaker 3: it was student Netflix. All right, Well, that I would 2328 01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:12,000 Speaker 3: like to see. 2329 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:14,840 Speaker 4: Because we may have some insight into exactly how hard 2330 01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:15,600 Speaker 4: this went for him. 2331 01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:17,520 Speaker 2: All right, what's gonna come up this week?
