00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: I think I want to put the emphasis on a

86
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: different syllable. Like if you say Dicky love lady, okay,

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,280

118
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: You may lose something, but we have Dickey Love Lady.

119
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: Always got to have a consolation prize, and there's there's

120
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: far worse to be had.

121
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: Uh Now, obviously a big headline today following Game seven

122
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals, Yoklahoma City Thunder win, and we

123
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: get confirmation of the news that we thought was happening

124
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: yesterday during the game, because you know, ESPN showed the

125
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: replay five hundred thousand times just in case, in case

126
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell, here's Tyres Halliburton blowing his achilles. Case

127
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: you missed the first five. Yeah, you see it right there. Yeah, Okay,

128
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: you got it. God has got it.

129
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: But to their credit, I mean, they recognize that people

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: suddenly realized that Game seven was being played. Yea. And

131
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: you know, if they're gonna trumpet all of those viewers, yeah,

132
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: they're always tuning in. The audience continues to change after

133
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: time out. Hey, in case you missed it, this is

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 3: where we stand.

135
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna say this because I generally, I generally

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: don't feel that when a guy is injured, you look

137
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: at a game and say, Okay, this game would have

138
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: gone differently, This game could have done this way because

139
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: obviously Halliburton getting hurt in the first half, the thunder

140
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: go on to win. And the big question, obviously the

141
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: first one is Okay, if Halliburton hadn't gotten hurt, right,

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: if Halliburton played able to play the whole game, is

143
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: it a different outcome yesterday? And generally when cometimes, I said, well,

144
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because this is what happened, and the

145
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: thunder one and they do. But I look at that

146
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: game yesterday. I was just so unimpressed with the thunder

147
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: closing this game the way they did in game send.

148
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: It was one of the worst game set. I don't

149
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: know what team has won a Game seven with the

150
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: worst performance than the Thunderhead. They shot poorly, they didn't

151
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: They didn't really look really sharp offensively at all. SGA

152
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: had a horrible game shooting, almost like the nerves got

153
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: to them. They tried to close out game six, didn't

154
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: have it, tried to close out game seven. It just

155
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: so happened that the Pacers are playing a game. Now, Okay,

156
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: now you've taken one of our top two best players

157
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: and a guy who's gonna have the ball the majority

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: of the time away. What's going to happen. This should

159
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: have been a game where when Halliburton goes out, it

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: should have been a ten point lead at halftime. For

161
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, it should have been a twenty five point lead,

162
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: and it should have been middle of the fourth quarter.

163
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's yelling at each other on the bench and reserves

164
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: are hitting three. But they were just so unimpressive. And

165
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: this is the worst part for the for the Pacers

166
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: because they have to see that and go, Man, if

167
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: he didn't get hurt, what would happened. I'll tell you.

168
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: If Halliburton stays in the game, the Pacers win, the

169
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Pacers the World champions, because that game was going a

170
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: very PACER's way, right. You were at halftime still even

171
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: without Halliburton. At the end, it's a one point game

172
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: and the Pacers had the lead. The Pacers, this is

173
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of what they did the entire playoff. No matter

174
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: what happened, they are always able to stay close enough

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: to reel you in before they could, they could get

176
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: at you in the third and fourth quarter, right, because

177
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: that's really what the Pacers would always do, right, Their

178
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: pace would get to you. The Stars would tire in

179
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and by the time you got to

180
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: middle third, fourth quarter, guys are a little bit more

181
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: open for their threes, a little bit more offenses flowing

182
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more, And we've seen that the entire playoff.

183
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: That's what would have happened if Halliburton hadn't gotten it. Yes,

184
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: you had a big night from from Matherin off the bench.

185
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Of course we've seen that big night from Connell off

186
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: the bench, but it's a different flow to the offense

187
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: when Halliburton is running things in his helter skelter way

188
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: and being able to get in and come back out

189
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: and find players. This game was going the PACER's way.

190
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: They were keeping it close, they were playing their pace,

191
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: they were imparting their well on the game. They started

192
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: out shooting threes pretty well. They wind up not being

193
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: able to hit anything in the second half, but this

194
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: game was really going the Pacers way. And then at halftime. Okay,

195
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: the Thunder come out in the third with a big run,

196
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: but at this point it was all right, what are

197
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the Pacers really going to do? We know that you're

198
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: limited and without this happening, we know you're not going

199
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: to hit your threes. We know you're not gonna You know,

200
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: as good a player as McConnell is, he's not going

201
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: to be someone who finds finds players wide open shots

202
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: like Halliburton does. That's not going That's not going to

203
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: be a part of what this offense is in the

204
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: second half. So yeah, in the third quarter they go

205
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: out and Okay, they're up big, and then the Pacers

206
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: come back and they make it a close game midway

207
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter. I mean, I'm watching this, I'm saying,

208
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: if Halliburton's here, this game goes a different way. And

209
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: as the second half goes on, the game would start

210
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: tilting towards the Pacers and their pace of play, and

211
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: you would see the Thunder getting tired and suddenly it's

212
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: a big question mark and a little bit of choking

213
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: going on. Hey, we're not closing out this game at home.

214
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: We have the best home court advantage in the NBA.

215
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: SGA is not making shots. This game would have gone

216
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: the Pacers. We'd be talking about the most improbable NBA

217
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: championship that we've seen probably since the Pistons beat the

218
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Lakers back in two thousand and three. Like that two

219
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: thousand and four, too soon? Oh sorry, man, sorry, this

220
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: would be talking about that if Halliburton didn't get hurt.

221
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: That's how that game was going to day.

222
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 3: No, that's it watching that game unfold, and certainly something

223
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: we talked about a lot with Aliburton and the injury

224
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: and thresholds for pain discomfort and how serious it was

225
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: in terms of minutes played and how he looked going

226
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: back to game six and he comes out like a

227
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: house of fire and nails three three point shots very early.

228
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: The running joke in the Twitter verse immediately was like, Wow,

229
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 3: he's already cashed the over for all these people with

230
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: their three point prop bets. McConnell great at getting his

231
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: own shot, not a great distributor for the game, Nemhard

232
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: is your leader with six assists, so not a lot

233
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: of moving the ball around to the open man once

234
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: Haliburton's out of the game, so certainly it bogs down there.

235
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: For the thunderside of things, Yeah, they shot forty percent,

236
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: so Indiana's defense did his job, missing a number of

237
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: wide open looks. I can't tell you the number of

238
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: times you're throwing your hands up going he's standing by himself.

239
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: He's basically he could pull out any type of scientific

240
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: implement to calculate angles, and he's still missing the shot.

241
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: That's how much space you had. Lou Dort the most

242
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: accounted for participant in that regard, but all of it

243
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: to say right and chet Holmgeren finally played a big

244
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: game for them, came up with a number of blocks,

245
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: defensive stops, but it did feel like the game was

246
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 3: still there to be had if you could have made

247
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: one stop here. He kept Sga off the foul file stripe.

248
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Right.

249
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: He got to the line twelve times over the course

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: of the game, and that's where he imparted. Part of

251
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: your prediction did come true and that he lived at

252
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 3: the pre throw line at times. But for Indiana and

253
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: for Carlisle, there are only so many strings he could pull.

254
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: Once Aliburton went down, you got big efforts from McConnell.

255
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Alex Crusoe had to be stopped in the interview,

256
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: Hey how do you stop? TJ. Mcconnoy. Did you ever

257
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: think you'd get that question? Yeah, how do you stop TJ?

258
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: How do you stop TJ? McConnell, and the lookout of

259
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: fans like wow, okay, and Matherin showed up in a

260
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 3: big way. He'd had seventeen points combined his prior to

261
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: three games, right, So all of that that, you got

262
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: that effort, but in the end, it's just not enough,

263
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: and Oklahoma City walks away with the title. And it's

264
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: funny because all throughout the playoffs, through the regular season,

265
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: it became a Wow, look at the They've got the

266
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: blueprint and all this, and now we're watching them walk

267
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: away with the title, going I'm not impressed. And we

268
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: watched a lot of their games, right, so like they

269
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: were on a lot and we got a lot of windows.

270
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 3: But you come away going, wow, they had a lot

271
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: of issues that could have been exploited if you had

272
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: your playman.

273
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. And that's added heartbreak. If Halliburton was

274
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: healthy and he played a regular game, Yet we're talking

275
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: about the Pacers being the champions that it would have

276
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: happened that way.

277
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: I just wanted to see what kind of defensive structure

278
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: Carlisle would have had for the fourth if you had

279
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: all five of his normal starters, exit out about a

Speaker 4: they're picking. Can we get a line on that game?

337
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: I want Dodgers run line. I don't really care who.

338
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 4: How they pack it together anyway.

339
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Well, Frostburg will see what he can do on that

340
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: since he's waiting for the Dodgers too. Uh No, but

341
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, so you want to bet

342
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Frostburg cash with Trevor Rodgers earlier? He said, so he's good?

343
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: Oh good for him?

344
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well done?

345
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: Uh Now, I saw want to bet you actually have

346
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: your first bet of the nfls You had their first

347
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: Week one bet?

348
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: Ready to go for Week one? What is it.

349
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: I made it over the weekend. I grabbed uh the

350
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: Cardinals laying four and a half at New Orleans and

351
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: this thing opened at three, and some places already have

352
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: it at six. And I think once we see the

353
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: atrophy word, but I'll use it anyway, that is the

354
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: Saints quarterback situation. And as they have to start, you know,

355
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: showing what they have and don't have through the course

356
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 4: of the preseason, I just don't think that that four

357
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 4: and a half is going to do the trick. I

358
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 4: think the Saints of the worst team in football. I

359
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 4: think the Saints don't really have much of a of

360
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: a strength from a roster standpoint. It's a coach who

361
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 4: may or may not be ready for this. It's a

362
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: GM who's really let that thing rot with no real

363
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 4: checks and balances from ownership. And I'm not a big

364
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray guy, and I don't like to back Kyler

365
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: Murray as a favorite. But again, I think the number

366
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: I'm getting here by the time we get the opening

367
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 4: day will look pretty damn good. And that's a Saints

368
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 4: team that you go back to twenty twenty two and

369
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 4: look at the Saints at home outside the division, the

370
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: only teams worse against the spread are Atlanta and the Patriots,

371
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 4: or the third worst team in those situations. And Kyler

372
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 4: Murray Week one has been damn good. Ten touchdowns, three interceptions,

373
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 4: seven yards per rush. You know, he usually comes out

374
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: shot out of the cannon. The problem is, want to

375
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: get some bumps and bruises around Week eight, week nine,

376
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: That whole thing tends to crumble. But I think Arizona's

377
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 4: defense will be you know, adequate. Their their fringy ish

378
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: playoff team for me. And again, I think the Saints

379
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: are there with the Browns as the worst team in football.

380
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: There you going week one firing already out.

381
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: The Saints are the worst team in football last year,

382
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: right before and then they beat the Cowboys. They was like,

383
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: oh look, how good the.

384
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 3: Saints remember that. Wow, it's a lifetime ago, isn't it.

385
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 4: Nose Chickens came home the ruse pretty quickly, but they

386
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 4: did have They were fun for a couple of weeks

387
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 4: in September.

388
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: That's true.

389
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean I'm looking at the rest of the Week

390
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: one slate. Now you got me salivating because that Steelers

391
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: Jets game. You're looking at a two and a half

392
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 3: or three point spread there, Jason Jet getting points.

393
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: Our buddy Eric Tacilius is on that one, and he

394
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 4: likes the under that game, specifically Jet under the team total,

395
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: and I get that as well. I mean, Tomlin's defenses

396
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 4: usually start the season pretty well.

397
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: I think taking the Jets in the I think taking

398
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: the under in Jets games the whole season is going

399
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: to be like, I think you can run that every week.

400
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Jay taking the under in Jets games, I think that's

401
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: a week one.

402
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm done. Tomlin on the road as a

403
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: dog or as a small favorite. You can just play

404
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 4: that money line and you'll do pretty well. And he

405
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: obviously knows fields incredibly well. And I think they'll get

406
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: this Watt thing taken care of and whatever Aaron Rodgers has.

407
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 4: I guess we'll see the best of it there. So yeah,

408
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: there were like four games that kind of stood out

409
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: to me, and those were two of them.

410
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, if nothing else, we know that Rogers doesn't think

411
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 3: much of the Jets in their run game.

412
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: I guess he shouldn't because it completely went in reverse

413
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 4: once he got there, so he probably, Yeah, I guess

414
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: you shouldn't.

415
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: Jason Locking for our guest the Jason Smith Show with

416
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,

417
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: so Jays, as we get here now and we're getting

418
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: set now, teams are going away sign and see what

419
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: they have before we start camp. There's some big unsigned

420
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: players that we're still waiting to see drop. We've heard

421
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: rumors of guys like Amari Cooper and other players, like

422
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: do you see anything happening in the next few weeks

423
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: as far as hey, some of these free agents that

424
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: we expected to have jobs, big names could wind up

425
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: signing somewhere. They're gonna have to wait till after camp starts.

426
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: I think some it'll probably be really close to camp

427
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: at this point. Like I mean, a lot of people

428
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 4: this is their only time of year to actually spend

429
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: time with their family and have a couple of weeks

430
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 4: at the beach and all that. So not that you

431
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 4: can't make a phone call here or there, but it's

432
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: not real pressing, I think as we get closer to

433
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 4: teams reporting. But yeah, I mean there's interesting names out

434
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 4: there for sure. I mean Simmons, you know, Zadarius Smith,

435
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 4: metchn you know, those are some guys you know on

436
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball. Who you know, I

437
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: think we'll certainly be playing football somewhere this year. Jdaveon Clowney, right,

438
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 4: I mean, if you really dig in on his numbers,

439
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 4: like you did not have a horrible season, might any

440
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: stretch of the imagination of a Panthers team that you

441
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 4: know doesn't really play to his strength. He's a bit

442
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: of a front runner, right him on a team that

443
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: was underachieving even by those their lowly standards early in

444
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: the year, and the quarterback change and all that. But

445
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 4: you look at his past rush win rate, you know,

446
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: you look at his percentage of pressures per pass rush,

447
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: you look at you know, some of his metrics. They

448
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 4: we wasn't what he did the year before in Baltimore,

449
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: probably his best season ever. But like that, he ended

450
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: up back with the Ravens. I mean, I I don't

451
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: think that's out of the question. So, yeah, there's there's

452
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 4: some there's some interesting guys out there, but this is

453
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: kind of the duldrums right now.

454
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: Jason. Let's go to the fun and exciting world of

455
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: the AFC South, go to Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson's saying his

456
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: shoulder injury isn't even a bump in the road, but

457
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones just might be. What do we think about

458
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: that set up?

459
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: I just don't truck the durability of either of those guys,

460
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, they played the game one way

461
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: and it hasn't worked out real great for them. Leslie Richardson,

462
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: who's missed more time than he's played. I do think

463
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: their defense could be interesting, your quasi interesting. I guess

464
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: this is Chris Balid's last dand it certainly should be.

465
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 4: I think Daniel Jones is gonna end up being the guy.

466
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: Now does that guarantee much? Know? Because we know that

467
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: his play can oscillate pretty wildly and generally tends to

468
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: be not great. So I'm sure they'll get a look see,

469
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: you know, both of these guys. I'd be surprised if

470
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones doesn't find a way to go in there

471
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: week one. It's just such a bad division. Like I

472
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 4: don't think the Texans are the juggernaut that people make

473
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 4: them out to be by any stretch. I figure win

474
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 4: that division. I kind of like the Colts in a second,

475
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 4: because again, I think the defense could be interesting and

476
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 4: keep them in some games. Jacksonville defense was such a

477
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: train wreck. I don't think that coaching staff is fixing

478
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 4: it overnight. I think the quarterback is what he is.

479
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 4: The Tennessee might take some baby steps, but they've obviously

480
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 4: got a huge hole to crawl out of. So I mean,

481
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 4: I could see the Colts being the second best team

482
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: in this division, but I don't think that's going to

483
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 4: be worth a whole lot.

484
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: Jay, let's stay in the AFC. The Shador Sanders situation

485
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: last week, the two traffic violations that came out. The

486
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: Browns really didn't have a comment on it. Big deal

487
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: for him, you know these two things that happened. Or

488
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: will this be Hey, they we'll hit reset when when

489
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: camp starts.

490
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: Well, look everything with him it's different, right, I mean,

491
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: it's it's a big deal. His fall in the draft

492
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 4: was as big of a deal as I can remember,

493
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 4: Like a story like that dominating all three days in

494
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 4: the draft. It just doesn't really happen. Everything about his

495
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: dad is outsized, so now everything about his last name

496
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 4: is outside. So it's not going to be normal. Nothing

497
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 4: about that quarterback competition and the four or five headed

498
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: monster that it is is going to be normal. I

499
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: don't think it's going to like Linger. I don't think

500
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: people rough preseason are going to be like, oh, let's

501
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: go to the traffic stuff. I just don't, you know,

502
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: I don't think there's going to be a corollary or

503
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: draw there. It doesn't mean some people won't try to

504
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: draw it. But I mean he's a young person. You know,

505
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: he's in limelight, and people tend to slip up for

506
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: one degree or another. I think if he's given a chance,

507
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: if that becomes or is something of a fair fight,

508
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 4: then again, I don't know that he's not the next

509
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: guy up after Flacco and after that runs its course,

510
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: however quickly that is, and that poor guy I hope man.

511
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: I hope he's got some sort of or like Michelin

512
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 4: manned stuff wrapped around him, underneath the pads or on

513
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: top of the pads, because I think he's going to

514
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: take a beating. But yeah, I mean, I don't know

515
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: how they're going to divvy up all their reps. I

516
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 4: don't know how everybody's going to get enough work. They're

517
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 4: going to have to different days. You know, it's going

518
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: to have to be one guy getting the scheft a

519
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 4: little bit. How much do they think black on the

520
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 4: you know, needs to run stuff like he's been there before.

521
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: But you know that's like two play callers ago, so

522
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: how much of that is still there? I mean it's

523
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: the Fancy's offense. So I mean I wonder if at

524
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 4: a certain point you have to kind of just say internally,

525
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 4: if not externally, flackos our guy. He doesn't need a

526
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 4: ton of reps, right, He's been really good coming in

527
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 4: cold as a backup for years. Like let's let's you know,

528
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: give these developmental reps and these evaluation reps to these

529
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 4: kids so we can figure out our pecking order and

530
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 4: get somebody out of here or maybe two guys out

531
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: of there, and then you know, put our football team together.

532
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 3: Let me end with going back to Jason's Jets thirteen

533
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: eleven and fourteen. That was Crystal Palace's record. Well, Woody

534
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: Johnson's attention to Crystal Palace allow the Jets to thrive.

535
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, I'm trying to what was their record

536
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 4: when he was in London.

537
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: I'm trying. It's not been over a decade.

538
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 4: I don't think it was great. Yeah, I just feel

539
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 4: sorry for supporters of Palace really, that's like, you know

540
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like We've got to send tentacles out

541
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: all over the world for Woody Johnson crushing fan bases

542
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 4: like that's a shame, that's that's that's too bad. Yeah,

543
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, keep them away from center bacha basketball

544
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 4: or whatever. I don't know. I don't know.

545
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's on Twitter at Jason Locking for that is

546
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: at Jason Locking for Wanta bed as well. Hey, Frostburg,

547
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: frost will give you whatever update you need on the Dodgers, Jay.

548
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: So just just I'm checking all these books.

549
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: Somebody give me a line before I go to sleep

550
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: if you want to hit that.

551
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: Now FROSTMCGUARDI said they're up five. Nothing again. Information from

552
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: Frostburg on the Dodgers. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not.

553
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: Just so tomorrow I'll take it.

554
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, very good, Take it easy, Jay.

555
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: No, the Dodgers do not play till no, it is

556
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: an off day after a very long Would they have

557
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: twenty three games in twenty four days or something like that, Yeah,

558
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: which is why we kept seeing Keith Arnandez Pitch and

559
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: everybody here in Los Angeles. It's the worst thing that's

560
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 3: ever been done in the history of the sport. You

561
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: know who did play today though, who's at the mats

562
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: and lost?

563
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay, it's all right. Are you ever going

564
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: to beat the Braves?

565
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: Hey?

00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 5: Did?

00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: Don't you win in your beat the streak? Well, it's

568
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 3: funny you say that, okay, because all right, I'm invested.

569
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: I need I need to say yes, we have okay,

570
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,040

Speaker 1: a four game streak in the MLB street all right.

573
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: Because he said to me, because it's my turn to

00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: pick today, said who do you want? And I said

575
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge Judge Homer's in the first inning. And I

576
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: was like, goes, wow, great pick. I go, well, my

577
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: pick was only Aaron Judge because if you didn't get

578
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: a hit, I could blame you. He said that tracks.

579
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: But we should be we should be at six, but

580
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: we're not. We're at four because remember I told you

Speaker 3: in an hour? How did you miss putting him in?

Speaker 3: So we didn't like, all right, great, So the next pick.

00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: the next one.

595
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: So we're okay. And now he's how does he do? Hey,

596
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: who's your pick today? And I said, gim me judge

597
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: for today. Okay. So now we're at four. We could

598
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: be at six.

599
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: Do you start by asking him what day of the

600
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: week it is when your guns?

601
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: This is what This is what I said to him.

602
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: I said, Dad, okay, so it's the MLB dot Com

603
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: the streak thing. If you pick someone to get a

604
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: hit every day, fifty seven days in a row, fifty

605
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: seven games a row, you win five point six million dollars.

606
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: And I said, Dad, here's the thing I can tell

607
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: you this is that the contest could be just for you,

608
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: Jason and your dad. Just get a pick in every

609
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: day for fifty seven days in a row.

610
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: Doesn't have to get a hit, doesn't have to get

611
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: a hit, just get a pick in fifty seven days

612
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: in a row.

613
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: Okay, we're five days into this already. We would have

614
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: failed that twice. Okay twice, we would have failed that.

615
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: Dad.

616
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: We got five and a half million dollars. All you

617
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: gotta do is get a pick it twice. He doesn't

618

Speaker 1: to work up too far Man, too far by the way.

656
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 6: In Cincinnati tonight, La de la Cruz three hits, three RBIs,

657
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 6: including a homer. The Reds beat the Yankees six to one.

658
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 6: But yes, the one was an Aaron Judge home run,

659
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 6: his twenty eighth of the year. You want home runs

660
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 6: and streaks, cal Raley hit his thirty second home run

661
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 6: of the season Seattle one at Minnesota in the game

662
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 6: on FS one today eleven to the final. The Twins

663
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 6: have lost four in a row. Cal Rally has four

664
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 6: straight games with a home run for the first time

665
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 6: in career. It's six homers his last six games total.

666
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 6: They got the win here and now it's time to

667
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 6: take a look at the fact that Johnny Bench had

668
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 6: the record most home runs before All Star Break by

669
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 6: a guy who's primarily a catcher nineteen seventy, Bench had

670
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 6: twenty eight playing over half a season. Cal Rally, in

671
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: under half a season, has thirty two at this point

672
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 6: looking ahead, most home runs ever by a switch hitter

673
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 6: for a season is fifty four by Mickey Mantle in

674
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 6: nineteen sixty one. This is the think he can a second.

675
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: He can set most home runs by a catcher all time.

676
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: Just what he's doing this season, You mean he might

677
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: get to like four hundred and fields. He hits a

678
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: home run every day.

679
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: I mean it.

680
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: Last year was Anthony Santander right, pretty much hit a

681
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: home run every day. Cal Rowly is hitting a home

682
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: run every day.

683
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 6: So you mean that he's gonna double the home run

684
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 6: total on the second half of the same compared to four.

685
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty home runs, and the Mariners will still

686
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: just miss the playoffs.

766
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,840

774
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 3: really get after what MESSI had to say.

775
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, MESSI not Jason. Let's be honest. The Braves

776
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: do own City Field well right right now, they've beating

777
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: the Mets. For the Braves are staying in their season

778
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: because they've been able to beat the Mets the last

779
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: two times they've played. I'm not happy, but okay, it's

780
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: still June. It's all right.

781
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: Ronald Lacuna Junior has one hundred and oneted bats on

782
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: the air already, fourteen extra base hits.

783
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: Bah Let's talk about ratings, because the NBA Finals ratings

784
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: for Game seven came out and they are terrific. I mean,

785
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: I know we talked about the raidings all the first

786
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: few games the NBA Finals. People aren't watching it's Indiana,

787
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: it's Oklahoma City. Blah blah blah. I tell you, look,

788
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: ratings stories, when you talk about low ratings are generally irrelevant. Right,

789
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: Generally that's the way because people are watching many different ways.

790
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: People are still paying attention. But yeah, okay, you're watching

791
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: fewer traditionally, you're watching more other ways. But here's a

792
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: good story. Because Game seven the highest NBA rated game

793
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Finals in six years. They average nearly seventeen million people

794
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: watching on ABC and ESPN, plus the audience peaked at

795
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: just over nineteen million people during the second half. Right,

796
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: first time we've seen those numbers since the Raptors beat

797
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: the Warriors in six games in twenty nineteen. Right, the

798
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: first time they've had more than sixteen million. It's a

799
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: great story now to talk about this, to want to

800
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: have a really constructive ratings conversation about the NBA, and

801
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: all ratings are up here ranging down here.

802
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 3: Comes back to the old you know who like it,

803
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 3: don't want? Right right there is you don't like watch

804
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant, which we'll get to. But we have become

805
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: a we watch when it matters society in sports because

806
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: we get because seasons are so long and there's so

807
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 3: much we are we are generally oversearved for sports, particularly

808
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 3: in the NBA, which asks a lot of you. In

809
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs, Hey, come with us all the way through

810
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: this journey in the playoff and then the NBA Finals

811
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: are gonna take eight weeks to complete. We're gonna take

812
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: four days off between games. They ask a lot of you,

813
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 3: and people generally know, Okay, I can unplug for these games.

814
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 3: Right if you are just an average NBA fan and hey,

815
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: here's Game one with the Pacers and the Thunder. Okay,

816
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: I don't know that I really need to get to

817
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: the television for Game one. In game two, But as

818
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: a series goes on, Hey, game five, game well, it's

819
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: Game seven, it's the NBA Finals. I'm gonna watch the game.

820
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: And that's why you get the numbers up because the

821
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: average fan I know when to tune in. I can

822
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: skip the grid most parts of the first six games.

823
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: I can tune at the end of a game. I

824
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: don't need to watch the very beginning. I can just

825
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: keep track of the game. Oh there's five minutes ago,

826
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 3: because there's other things I have going on. In my life,

827
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 3: other things I'm doing.

828
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: It's dinner, it's dancing, it's drinks, it's a movie, it's

829
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: putting the kids to bed. It's all these things. And

830
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: because we're so overserved, we now know, okay, I can

831
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: pick my spots, and so people are picking their spots.

832
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: They picked their okay games out of the m It

833
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: didn't matter who was playing. Could have been Indiana and

834
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: and Oklahoa City, could have been the Knicks and the Lakers.

835
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: People we're going to go to game seven because it's

836
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 1: game seven.

837
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 3: Well, it's anything urgency right, Award shows do well? Why

838
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: because it happens. Then in that moment you can get

839
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: it on Twitter, you can follow it the same way.

840
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 3: And for the NBA, that's a lot of the consumption

841
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: now and something they trumpet while bristling at any criticism

842
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 3: about the standard viewing metrics and consumption right, it's like

843
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 3: you can run with both, trumpet them both. You're still

844
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: drawing a very large audience on a relative basis. It's

845
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: just not consumed the same the same way it was

846
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: when we were watching the giant ratings for games twenty

847
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: five years ago. People are going at it a different

848
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: way and consuming the product. But when it gets down

849
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: to a winner take all, sure we watch it in

850
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: every sport. You get deeper into a series and people

851
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: come to the table who otherwise would have been just

852
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 3: fine to see the headline in the morning paper the
