Speaker 3: first sleep in your own bed after vacation. It's just

26
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: the best. And so I'm glad to be back though,

27
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: back into a regular routine, back into little sports watching.

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,280

Speaker 3: in all, and glad to resume life again.

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 2: And I hope you had a great passover. That's the most.

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: I did have a passover. I did keep passover the

32
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: best I could on vacation, So it was that was

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: good for me to do. You know, it's going to

34
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: show the kids, right, Like that's the important part to

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: try to keep it for the kids who are able

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: to just kind of see you do it right. You know,

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: Daddy's not even this kids, and I can't because I passover.

38
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: So that to me is the important part about it,

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: not like me keeping it per se, but just like kids,

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: see I'm doing it right.

41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you're back to basketball. I guess you bet.

42
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: The basketball watching a little NFL itself, but the NBA,

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: I guess right now takes center stage just a different animal.

44
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: You know, during the season, if I miss an NBA

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: game here and there, that's okay, you know, find out

46
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: the next day. What's going on? Playoffs to me sort

47
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: of like must watch TV. It really is. And you know,

48
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: the one gripe that I may have, And maybe you

49
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: know I'm like the guy on the lawn, you know,

50
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: putting his fist up to the sky, you know, get

51
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: off my long guy. I don't think I am. I

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: think there are people in my corner. You know, you

53
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: got sixteen teams getting into the playoffs in a thirty

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: team league. I just think that's too heavy. I just

55
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: believe it's too much in a way. You end up

56
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: playing for much during the regular season just to get

57
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,559
Speaker 2: into the playoffs.

58
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: It's too much. So you know how the NCAA tournament

59
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: has those playing games and try to sell those as

60
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 3: like tournament games. I don't consider those tournament games almost

61
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: you know, we know that like FDU ended up winning,

62
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: you know those one of those. And one more I

63
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: saw when the Lakers won in overtime. They beat the Timberwolves,

64
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: right and to get into the U and the Lakers

65
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: twitter accounts said like playoff bound, like they treated that

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: as almost not even a playoff game, like a game

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: that like to get into the playoffs, which I liked, right,

68
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: because they really that's what it is. It's a game

69
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: to get into the playoffs. It's not really a playoff

70
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: game per se. Right, you're not actually technically one of

71
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: the eight seeds in the Eastern or Western Conference. You're

72
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 3: playing to get into the playoffs. It doesn't count as

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: oh the ten seed the thunder are a playoff team. No,

74
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: you're in your playing. It's a play in tournament to

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: get into the playoffs. So that's the way I look

76
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: at it. I look at still there's sixteen playoff teams

77
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: and there's a little bit of a tournament into the playoffs. Now,

78
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: the thing about the NBA, and you're exactly right, is

79
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: it's the only sport, the major sport of you know,

80
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: you look at it, let's say football, even both footballs

81
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: and NFL college football, baseball, and hockey. I watch the hockey,

82
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: especially when the playoff season NBA basketball. If you would

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: to watch NBA basketball one Saturday ago, it looks completely

84
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: different than it did yesterday. And it's the only sport

85
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: you can say that about regular season in the playoffs,

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: like completely different sport. Yesterday looked nothing like it had

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: the whole regular season. They it just it's a better

88
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: product in the playoffs. It's a to your point, it's

89
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: a must watch product in the playoffs. They play better basketball's.

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: It's like they decide to play defense all of a sudden,

91
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: they decided to play crisper team basketball. Like it just

92
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: it's a better product. And the games, for the most part,

93
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: tend to get close at the end. No matter what

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 3: the score is throughout the game, they tend to get

95
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: pretty close at the end. And so even if it

96
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: ends up being a blowout by fifteen or twenty points,

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: it kind of gets to like, you know, eight points

98
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: and you feel.

99
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: Like, oh, okay, this can make it a thing, right,

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: And so, you know, even the next game yesterday, like

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: you know, Knicks were up pretty you know, that kind

102
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: of six to twelve point cushion for sort of most

103
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: of the game, it felt like, and the Cavs come back,

104
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: but eventually the Knicks end up winning by four.

105
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 3: It's like that's what NBA basketball is in the playoffs,

106
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: and I love it. I watch a lot of NBA

107
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: basketball in the playoffs because think it's a different game.

108
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: It's a much better game. It's a good product in

109
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

110
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, I mean, the Celtics route thirty and

111
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: a half of the Hawks and they went by about

112
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: thirteen points. So, uh, you know, and that's been I

113
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: guess commonplace with the Celtics all the year long. But

114
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: when they can't put their foot on the guy's throat it,

115
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: when they're up by a big, big margin, they just

116
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: let it go and they call I guess that's that's

117
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: an athlete's mindset, you know, Like, you know, we figured,

118
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: like we have this game one, let's coast a little bit.

119
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: And you can't do that. You just can't.

120
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: No, you can't. But also I think it's just because

121
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: of the nature of the sport and because you know,

122
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: the three point shot. If you get if you make

123
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: you know, three three porters in a row, that's nine points,

124
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: you're you're that's a quick turnaround, right, And these obviously

125
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: are pros and their playoff teams and there's the reason

126
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: they're here, and so you're able to make up that

127
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: margin a lot quicker. But yeah, it's gonna be a

128
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: lot of fun, especially the Western Conference, because the Western Conference,

129
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: as we saw yesterday with just one game, is gonna

130
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: be a electric right. The Kings end up winning their

131
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: first playoff game and being the playoffs in what eighteen

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: years now, and they beat the Warriors the last second

133
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: by three. They were trilling for most of the first half.

134
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: I made a push in the third quarter win that

135
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 3: game by three. And then today most of the Western

136
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: Conference games, I mean, the Western Conference is up for grabs.

137
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: Who knows what's gonna happen, And that's what they said.

138
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: Even more fun out west is there's a whole you know,

139
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: a different variety of ways this can go, and so

140
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: I think it'd be a lot of fun to watch.

141
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about this Sacramento Golden State

142
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: GA because I don't know how many people stayed up

143
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: late to watch the game, but Golden State falls one

144
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: twenty six, twenty three in Sacramento. And the thing that

145
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: really shocked me, and the Sacramento is not a major market.

146
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: I guess they probably have a minor league baseball team there.

147
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: I guess Sacramento State's the college team. But other than that,

148
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: the only pro team there the Sacramento Kings, and boy

149
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: oh boy. Prior to the game, they had that crowd

150
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: outside and you just had to feel good for them,

151
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: and really and truly almost rooting for them to win,

152
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: and I think it's good for the league maybe to

153
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: have a different champion for instead of Golden State. Though

154
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: Golden State gave a valiant effort. They came back. You know,

155
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole puts in seventeen, Klay Thompson twenty one, Curry

156
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: scores thirty, and uh, you know, I was kind of

157
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: shocked that Andrew Wiggins, who hadn't played in a while,

158
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: comes off the bench and comes in with seventeen points.

159
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: But you know, Sacramento was there. Maybe it was the

160
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: crowd that pushed him over the top.

161
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think that plays a big role in any sport, right,

162
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: is the ability for the crowd to help you out.

163
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: And they you know, played in so long. But look,

164
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: the Warriors aren't what they were last season. They're just

165
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: not as good as they were. And they're also atrocious

166
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: on the road. We've talked about this all season long.

167
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: They what they won.

168
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: Let me pull eleven and thirty on the road there.

169
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: What eleven thirty? Yeah, yeah, like they're atrocious routine. So

170
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: like it, Uh, I'm not surprised they lost the road again,

171
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: and they don't have home, you know, home court advantage.

172
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: In this one, so it wouldn't surprise me if they

173
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: lost this. I was this is the game. It was

174
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: most curious, and I felt very comfortable in the other games.

175
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: I thought that the game in Cleveland was gonna be

176
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: a toss up. I ended up being a toss up. Obviously,

177
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: the first two games. I felt very comfortable in Boston

178
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: and Philly winning those games. But this was the game

179
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: that I had the most questions about because it's hard

180
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: when you haven't been in the playoffs in so many

181
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: years just to show up and play well in the

182
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: atmosphere you talked about all from the pregame festivities, the

183
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: energy that was in that place, all the celebrities that

184
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: all of a sudden showed up at a Sacramento King's game.

185
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: Never happens, right, and it has happened since. You know,

186
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: the Lakers were there twenty years ago, right, the Shaq

187
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: Kobe Lakers and those battles they had against the Kings

188
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: twenty years ago, and so there's a lot of energy

189
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: in that building that franchise hasn't experienced in so many years.

190
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 3: And the Warriors obviously have now had this run of

191
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: ten years now where they have experienced this year after

192
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: year after year. Nothing last night phased them or would

193
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: have phased them. Do you play if you're the Kings?

194
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: And I was impressed with their ability to really come

195
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: back in that second half, settle down a little bit,

196
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 3: play some better basketball, then finished the game. Obviously, and

197
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: Wigas did miss open three at the end there, but

198
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: you know, just the ability to just weather that early

199
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: emotional storm and play good basketball. And it was impressed

200
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: because I didn't think they would do it. I thought

201
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: they would lose this game because you know, the emotions

202
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: of having to play in this environment have they haven't

203
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 3: done it before, and I wasn't quite sure if they

204
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: were able to kind of ready for that moment.

205
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: I would say this go one step further. Two things.

206
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: Number One, if that game was in Golden State, I

207
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: think Sacramento gets blown out. I just believe that. Number one.

208
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.

209
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: Number two, I would say this, I think that the

210
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: crowd certainly pushed Sacramento, but I think it hurt Golden State.

211
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: I think they were not expecting that's sort of a

212
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: wealthome or unwelcome if you will, in Sacramento. Draymond Green

213
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: four points, I mean, come on, really, you're not going

214
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: to see that again.

215
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's not a no one, no one,

216
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: you know.

217
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: He's got to give you a moved. I mean, you

218
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: got to give them out to Draymond. But you know,

219
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: I was surprised, and maybe I'm a bit of a

220
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: homer over here, but the Kentucky connection, I mean three

221
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: guys on Sacramento, the Aaron Fox thirty eight, Lyles puts

222
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: in sixteen, and the Monks scores thirty two, and that

223
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: was off the bench. I mean that was big. And

224
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: again I don't think you're going to see that again.

225
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: You'll get Fox will give you points thirty eight. But

226
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: it was a pretty good showing there for Sacramento.

227
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: It was again it's it's man, it's hard to play

228
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: these games and you haven't done before. And that's impressive. Man,

229
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: like they they they brought their energy the second half,

230
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: they made their shots the second half. It's impressive that.

231
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: Really I didn't think they would do it last night.

232
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: Was that was the one game where I didn't think

233
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: the home team had much of a chance. I know,

234
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: the points breader was I think a point half. So

235
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: it wasn't like it was you know, they Gus felt

236
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: you know much you know, much differently. But I was impressed.

237
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: I was impressed with the King, and then again, the

238
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: other games they're pretty much expected. I thought, you know,

239
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: the Knicks and Cow's game was a toss up in

240
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 3: my mind, and the other two games, Boston and Philly,

241
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: they're they're in a closure course to meet at some

242
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: point in the.

243
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: Playoffs, right, you know, I'll go back to this Golden

244
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: State game. I mean, they shot sixteenth for fifty from three.

245
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to see that either. I

246
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: mean that's thirty two percent. I think that they're a

247
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: better bull club. And then again, you know I watched

248
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: these games. I just as soon them take less threes.

249
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the game basically is one or less sometimes

250
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: on the three point shot, and I met them see

251
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: sad plays and just throw it up from half court.

252
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: But with a guy like Curry on the team, I

253
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: guess that's a good percentage shot when you take a three.

254
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, what do I think of it? I mean,

255
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: that's just the game now. I don't really know that's

256
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: that's what it is. I mean, I you know, maybe

257
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: when it first happened ten years ago, I used to

258
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: think to myself, like Hey, watching't someone just knock down

259
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: Steph currently comes the lane and like, you know, but

260
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: that's just not what the game is anymore, right, I mean,

261
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: I've come to terms with you know, that is part

262
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 3: of it. But I will tell you though, in these playoffs,

263
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of a renaissance of of of

264
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: the big fella, right if you look around the NBA

265
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: at the Eastern Conference, especially right with Joannis right and

266
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: Beid's gonna win the m v P. Uh So you

267
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: know you have those guys you have you know you

268
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: have on Denver, right, uh Davis. So like there is

269
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: like a little bit of a renaissance of of the

270
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: big men here. Uh in in some of the Yeah,

271
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 3: you're right, Randall an important role. Now they're not traditional

272
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: you know, back to basket all the time big guys,

273
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 3: but there's a little bit more of that play in

274
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: the NBA. Now again they're playing like threes and fours

275
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: and ones, but there there are bigger players that you know,

276
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: it's not just all the three pointer. But if you

277
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 3: don't have a team that can shoot, you're obviously not

278
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: gonna So all the Lakers have been better, right offensively,

279
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: they he got some shooters finally.

280
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: Right, well, we'll see. I mean, look, the stories are

281
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: coming out right now that that Lebron of his team

282
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: can make a run out of it. And then the

283
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: conversation comes back and forth as to like who is

284
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: on Mount rushmore? More so is it him or MJ?

285
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: You know, because they'll have five rings. I don't see

286
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: the Lakers going too deep in the playoffs here, but

287
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: you know what, it's a good storyline. There's a lot

288
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 2: of storylines here in the playoffs, so you gotta follow

289
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: and see what's going on.

290
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, Lebron Jordan thing has sailed for me, like

291
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: we just stopped doing this all the time.

292
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: Like who I can't stand that argument is? Who's so stupid?

293
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 2: Not even the two different ballplayers, it's just the two

294
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: different kinds of players they really are.

295
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: The way I look at it, it's very simply this.

296
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: I think Jordan is the best player of all time.

297
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: I think Lebron is the most talented player of all time.

298
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: But that's simple. But that's how I look at it.

299
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: You know what. And still when you say the best

300
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: of all time, you look I would say, yeah, he

301
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: may be up there, but in my heart of hearts,

302
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: and maybe I'm crazy. I just think Will Chamberlain's played

303
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: the most dominating them, maybe the best player of all time.

304
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: It's hard to give someone that award that was retired,

305
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: you know, twelve years before it was born.

306
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: So I mean, but it's funny that people who told

307
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: sports need to know history of sports.

308
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: I mean, when I I know, I understand, I've obviously

309
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: I've seen highlights of Will. I know who he is

310
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: and what he's done with his career, obviously, But I

311
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: think for for me, it's it's always hard to say

312
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: someone that I never saw play is the best ever

313
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: unless they're they're they're they're clearly better than the next

314
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: best person.

315
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: That certainly was a different game back then. They only

316
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: had eight teams at the time. You know, it's just

317
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: a different animal.

318
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: Like you know, like a baseball argument would be like, well,

319
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: you know what, Willie Mays, is he the best player

320
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: of all time? Right over someone I don't even know?

321
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: Baseball is a hard argument to make because it's such

322
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: a different sport. I you know, I didn't watch him play,

323
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: but I could certainly look at his numbers and say

324
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: it's a very numbers oriented sport, right and and put

325
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: him up there. I think for basketball Jordan, it's hard

326
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 3: to just competing against Jordan. I don't know. I do

327
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: you think the thing with Jordan that that we often

328
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: overlook is that, you know, we give him the pass

329
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: with when we don't give a pass to Lebron. Which

330
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: is which is I think doesn't make sense to me,

331
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: is you know Lebron has made the finals way more times.

332
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: Somehow he gets a knock for making the finals too

333
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: many times and losing some of those finals with with terrible, terrible,

334
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: uh supporting cast, and Jordan gets a pass for not

335
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: making the finals as many times, which seems odd to me.

336
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what Lebron did in Cleveland when he won

337
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: that first title, I mean, he had garbage with him

338
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: on that team. He put that team on his back

339
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: and won it.

340
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. But the first team, the first team, the first

341
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: team that made the finals was nobody's right. The first

342
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: thing that won the finals wasn't that wasn't half bad.

343
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: But the team that the first thing that made the

344
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: finals that he had was atrocious.

345
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. He's Jeff Schwartz and he's not atrocious.

346
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: But you can get him on Twitter at Jeff Schwartz,

347

388
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 2: about the seventy six series over the Nets. I don't

389
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: think any surprise there one twenty one one on one.

390
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: But it's funny because the players that basically got their

391
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: nets most of their wins this year are no longer

392
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: on that team, Kyrie Harden, Simmons, and they gave the

393
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: team most of their wins. And it was basically Harden

394
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: who did the damage for Philadelphia against this former team yesterday,

395
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 2: twenty three points, shooting seven for thirteen from three yesterday,

396
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: and the team shot twenty one for forty three for

397
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: three for forty eight percent, which is unreal.

398
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, as you mentioned, you know, a lot of it,

399
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: you know in this this game at times is it's

400
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: a three pointer, right, and that happened again this game

401
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: last night. You know, the Eastern Conference does feel very simple, right.

402
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: It feels like we are headed toward you know, a

403
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: combination of obviously Milwaukee at the top, and then you know,

404
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: Boston and the Sixers have to play that out and

405
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: the winner of that will play the Bucks and that'll

406
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: be the end of it. Right. I mean I don't

407
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 3: think there's gonna be many scares along the way, right,

408
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: I mean, who's gonna who's gonna scare any of those

409
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: top three teams in the moment. I can't see any

410
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: of them. Right. We saw yesterday how easy it was

411
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: for the Sixers and you know, and cuts to get

412
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: it done. You know, obviously the Nets back home, the

413
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: Hawks back home. Sure Game three will be a little

414
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: bit different story, but game too, I expect more of

415
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 3: the same, probably a closer games, not gonna be twenty

416
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: point games, thirteen point win for the Celtics. But the

417
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: Sixers and Celtics are better than the Nets in the Hawks.

418
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: They better players, they have more impactful players, they're better

419
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: all season long, and they're gonna win those series. To me,

420
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: those are four go off conclusions, and I'll watch it.

421
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: I wager on the games most likely because I like

422
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: doing that and why I watched maybe a lot of

423
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: the games at the end some of the blowouts.

424
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: You mentioned Joe l Embiid as MVP, maybe Gianis I

425
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe a toss up, who knows, but he's

426
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: definitely gonna be in the running and good votes. But

427
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: to me, I mean, it seems that this guy has

428
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: been around for centuries in the NBA right injured soil.

429
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: We're often early on score twenty six yesterday. What a

430
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: season he's put on. But honestly, I give him a

431
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: lot of credit for coming back. Basically, he was like

432
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: written off to the dead, like you know, five six

433
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: years ago because he couldn't play. He was always injured.

434
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was hurt for his first three years. I

435
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 3: know people are trying to say, you know that, you know,

436
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: look at well, you know Zion, who's been hurt a

437
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: bunch in his first you know, first years in the NBA.

438
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: Look at Embiid, right, Embiid, it was hurt too, and

439
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: look what he's done. And it's absolutely right, you know,

440
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 3: but Embid change his body, you know, put more time

441
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 3: and effort into to kind of making sure his his

442
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: body was kind of in the right shape and needed

443
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: to be to with stand at NBA season. He's done

444
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: a fantastic job. But sometimes it's just look, when you

445
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: enter the NBA as a young player at professional sports,

446
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 3: any young player, any young age, sometimes you don't you

447
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: don't know the the way you know, the way to

448
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: properly prepare. He's twenty nine now, Like this is you know,

449
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: he understands how to prepare your body, prepare your mind,

450
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: how to recover each game, how to prepare before each game.

451
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: Like I think those are all things that you don't

452
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: know at a young age. It's not the reason why

453
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: he was always hurt, but you learn throughout, especially when

454
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: you're hurt early on the way to prepare your body

455
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: and whatnot. I think being able to to do that

456
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: obviously helped him. He'll win his first MVP this.

457
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: Year, all right, And we both agree that in the

458
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: East is gonna be Boston, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia, probably not

459
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: in that order. Maybe Milwaukee Milwaukee may come out on

460
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: top of wind the whole thing at the end. But

461
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: the question I have is with Philadelphia and their coach,

462
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers. I don't have confidence in Doc Rivers as

463
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: a coach. I did some research, which I don't normally do,

464
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: but I did. Okay, that's a free time. Doc Rivers.

465
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: In playoff competition as a coach, his record is one

466
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 2: hundred and four wins, one hundred losses, and with the

467
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: seventy sixes which he came on like about two years ago,

468
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: his record is thirteen and eleven in the playoffs. I

469
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: just don't have confidences in Doc as a coach.

470
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the thing about it's not even that it's

471
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: not the record that it concerns me. It's that he's

472
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 3: often been a favorite and he's not come through. He's

473
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: had instance words up three to one and not paying

474
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: him to close the deal out right, Whether with the

475
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: Clippers or with the Celtics, and so it's not the

476
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: win loss record is to me is not as big

477
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: of a Okay, yeah he's this win loss record isn't great,

478
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: but it's that he was a favorite in a lot

479
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: of this series and and or had a three to

480
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: one lead and in series and lost those and so yeah,

481
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: there definitely is a concern there for me as well

482
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: when it comes to coaching. But you know, look, there

483
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: are times when players overcome the coaching right, and and

484
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: the Sixers have players that that I think on paper

485
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 3: can certainly do that. It doesn't mean they're going to

486
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: do it in this situation, Andy, but like they have

487
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: the players to do that to do that right, there's

488
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: no you can't deny that that they don't have the talent.

489
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: The question is where is that. Where does the coaching

490
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: part of it come in in the NBA? You know,

491
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: specific plays obviously in crunch time, rotation, maybe motivation, little

492
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: game prep. I mean, when you have a seven game series,

493
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: you know, tweaks and adjustments here and there that maybe

494
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: Doc is not as good. I don't have an answer

495
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 3: for that. I'm trying to speculate it on where we

496
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: see that, you know, those concerns pop up, but surely

497
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: as a track record as a favorite and again having

498
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 3: leads and series of not being able to finish well.

499
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: And think about coaching, I think they better do some

500
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: changing and coaching or making some maneuvers and adjustments in Cleveland,

501
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: because I don't think anybody on that Cavalier tank could

502
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: stop Jalen Brunson on the Knicks, who'll put in twenty

503
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: seven yesterday. I mean, they got guys that could score.

504
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: Donovan Michigal put in thirty eight, But other than that,

505
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: he needs some help, and he needs some help defensively

506
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: to stop some of those Nick players.

507
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the fun part about these long series

508
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 3: is you get to see obviously you know who ends up,

509
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 3: you know, stepping up and being able to make adjustments

510
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: and being able to to uh, you know, to change

511
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: things up between game one and game two and two

512
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 3: and three and three and four, and that series feels

513
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 3: like it's a seven game series. And those teams, those

514
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: four or five series in the East, especially those teams

515
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: in the West. The West is I think the Sun's

516
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: Clippers right four to five. So I think we're in

517
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: for a long series. I you talked about the NBA

518
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 3: going having sixteen teams in the playoffs, excuse me having

519
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: twenty teams in the playoffs. I think if they want

520
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: more action in the playoffs and to make us feel

521
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: because one of the reasons why welcome March madness so much,

522
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 3: and one of the reasons we like, you know, football

523
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: so much is because you know, the single elimination, right

524
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: like the one and done atmosphere, the urgency of it.

525
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 3: They need to make these series, the early rounds, the

526
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: first round five games. Again, it might not matter for

527
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: many series, right like we just mentioned, it's not gonna

528
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: matter for Boston, it's not gonna matter for Milwaukee and

529
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 3: for the Sixers. But in the Western Conference, man, can

530
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: you imagine these are five game series that every game

531
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: is gonna feel like it matters so much more than

532
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: it does right now, Like you know, I just I'm

533
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: watching TV right now. They have Lebron James talking right now,

534
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: they're talking about love to Lakers Grizzlies. Today is the

535
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 3: ABC game. It's the marquee matchup obviously with the Lakers

536
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. You know, okay, Game one, Lakers lose, okay, whatever,

537
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 3: get them game two, right, But if you have a

538
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: five game series you lose game one, it's like, oh, jeez,

539
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: we don't If we don't win game two, we're down

540
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: two to oh. Even if you lose game two and

541
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: a seven game series, go back home. You win two

542
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: games and it's the best of three five games. To me,

543
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: for the NBA, you want a sense of urgency, you

544
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: want to create, you know a little bit of like

545
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: a must win early in series. Give me a five

546
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 3: game series.

547
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: And back in the day it was that way in

548
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: the divisional games.

549
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it was. It was money in advertising. Money.

550
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it's all about. When you have

551
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: a question about anything normally in life, not just in sports,

552
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: trace it back to the green cabbage. That's what it's

553
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: all about. It's all about money, that's what it is,

554
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: and doing it basically in baseball to it. They want

555
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: to increase the beer sales, extra innings now because the

556
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: games are going faster. It's crazy, but it's money. That's

557
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 2: what it's all about. Schwartz, Yeah, increase.

558
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: I think they're going to go to eighth. They want

559
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: to increase. I thought there's talk.

560
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: About extenders to another inning.

561
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: I thought players are trying to tell I thought players

562
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: don't want that to happen.

563
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 2: They're trying to They don't obviously, but the owners want

564
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: to get their money because the games are going faster.

565
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: But we'll get into that later on. He's Jeff Schwartz

566
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: im Andy Furman coming up next on Fox Sports Sunday,

567
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: right here live from the Tireck dot Com studios. All

568
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the commissioner have some hanging downs. But

569
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: first and nit cope with all your sports.

570
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 6: Can I just tell you, guys how happy it made

571
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 6: me that you led the show with the Sacramento Kings.

572
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 6: I just can't believe we've gotten to this point where

573
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 6: the team I grew up rooting for the most. I'm

574
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 6: a sack Town guy and they have Andy Furman and

575
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 6: Jeff Schwartz here on FSR leading their show talking about

576
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 6: the Kings, how far they have.

577
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: It was a toss up between that and Major League Soccer.

578
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: Was it's a big comfort for Sacramento. It's been a while.

579
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: What else is in there? Wait, honestly, what other sports

580
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: are they? Pro sports and sacra I guess I say

581
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: Minor league baseball?

582
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: Correct?

583
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've got the Triple A affiliate of the Giants

584
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 6: is there in Sacramento and they've been working on an

585
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 6: MLS team, but things have fell through. They have the

586
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 6: the USL that that kind of second tier league.

587
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 2: They got one of those there as well. But that's

588
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: about it.

589
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, the MLS probably out now because they got a

590
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: team in San Francisco, right.

591
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 6: Uh. The MLS has had a team in San Jose. Yeah,

592
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: that one's been there for a little while. They they

593
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 6: had ownership. Ron Berkele is a guy. He's involved in

594
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 6: a few other teams. He was involved, he pulled out,

595
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 6: and he's actually involved with that new San Diego NWSL

596
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: team on the women's side.

597
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: Anyway, So now you living in Sacramento. I think the

598
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 2: mayor at one time was a former NBA player, wasn't he.

599
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: Kevin Johnson who played for the Suns. Really good player.

600
00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: He was mayor and he helped keep the team there.

601
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: He spearheaded a lot of efforts so the city could

602
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: fund the arena. That was the whole centerpiece to getting

603
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 2: them to stay. You know, Steve Balmer, before he bought

604
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: the Clippers, he was close to buying the Kings from

605
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: the maloofs and he would have taken them to Seattle.

606
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: And so ten plus years ago it was looking like

607
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: the Kings were going to be gone and they were

608
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 2: going to go to Seattle. And so they got the

609
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: arena built, They brought in the new owner of vivek Ronadive.

610
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: He was a minority owner with the Warriors, and so

611
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: you know that's all transpired in the last ten years.

612
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: You know, the arena six years old or now, so

613
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: right right right right right around there. So they finally

614
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: got that playoff game. That's great.

615
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: So you guys have done a good job recapping everything,

616
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 6: but just to kind of set the table for everybody

617
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,920

Speaker 6: oh one. Cavaliers ninety seven. Cleveland had a late charge,

Speaker 6: checking this one sixteen points on five of eighteen shooting,

630
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 6: and then the seventy six ers. They were in control,

631
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 6: start to finish one twenty one one to one. Joel

632
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 6: Embiid had twenty six. Michale Bridges actually led all scores

633
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 6: with thirty points. Quickly to baseball. Dodgers walked off the

00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 6: to two. Braves, they keep on cruising. They're eleven to four.

638
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 6: They beat the Royals nine to three. Reds blew out

639
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 6: the Phillies thirteen to nothing, and the p Andres got

640
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 6: a couple of home runs from Jay Croninworth. They took

641
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: care of the Brewers ten to three. Now let's go

642
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 6: back to Andy Furman and Jeff Schwarn.

643
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: Thank you, Niver see in about an hour. Now there's

644
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: a major conflict here will tell you all about it

645
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: in just about a minute. But first we're brought to

646
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: you by Discover. At the end of your first year,

647
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: Discover credit cards automatically double all the cash back you've earned.

648
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: That's right, everything you weren't double. Seriously see terms and

649
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: check it out for yourself at discover dot com. Slash match. Okay,

650
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: we have eight my schwartz at about seven eight minutes

651
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: for now. But the Dallas Mavericks, Jeff, they will find

652
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty thousand by the NBA for conduct

653
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: detrimental to the league, thank goodness. And I said this

654
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: the commission folly had a pair of hanging downs in

655
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: that game against the Chicago Bulls back on the seventh

656
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: of April, and they lost that game. They sat down Kyrie,

657
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: Tim Hardaway, Junior, Josh Green, Christian Wood and everybody else

658
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: if they because basically they want to throw it for

659
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: a draft pick. And I say there's a conflict here

660
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: because the NBA, and you would know this, they partner

661
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: with fan Duel and DraftKings. It's gambling partners. So if

662
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: you're betting on the game, that line's going to be

663
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: going up and down like every fifteen minutes and you

664
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: find out who's sitting on the bench. I'm glad the

665
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: Commission find them. But the conflict over there with their

666
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: media partners, if you will, the Gamblers fan dueling DraftKings,

667
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense yet for.

668
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: Me, well, I think you run into a big issue

669
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: when you start punishing teams for not trying because where

670
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: does the line stop? Right, Because we know there are

671
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 3: many times throughout the season when teams aren't trying to win.

672
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: They have load management nights when they're not playing half

673
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: their roster, right, you know there are nights when you

674
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 3: know they're they're clearly trying to to not win the

675
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: basketball game. Are you finding teams on those nights too?

676
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: Or just the Knights that win are on national television

677
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: and make a big stink about it? Right? Like to me,

678
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: now you've now you've put everyone I notice. So so

679
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: the next time that I see a game in the

680
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: red season with four starters out, you should find that

681
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: team they're not trying to win that game. That that

682
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: to me is the message. Right. So if you want

683
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: to if you want to keep if you want to

684
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: keep the same energy, you gotta find every team, every

685
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: time they do that. That's my problem with finding Now.

686
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: I agree the Mavericks were blatantly not trying to win

687
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 3: that game, but there's twenty five times a year when

688
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: teams are not trying to win basketball games, and are

689
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: you gonna find them every time they do so? The

690
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: NBA has set up a system that rewards teams for

691
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 3: not trying to win trying to win games. They there's

692
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: attitude in this league that not winning games is okay.

693
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: There's attitude in the league where not playing games is okay,

694
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: and that has to be fixed. First. If you determine

695
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: this is a problem finding Mark Cuban a billionaire that

696
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: money ain't doing anything. The're not gonna change, You're not

697
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: gonna do anything different next season. But if you're gonna

698
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: find them for not trying to win a basketball game,

699
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: then you need to find other teams who are trying

700
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: to win. I saw a game what two weeks ago

701
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: when four Nuggets weren't playing. All right, they weren't trying

702
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: to win that game either, all right, Well find them

703
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: for not trying to win. To me, there has to

704
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: be a line either you're gonna find teams for for

705
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: not for not trying to win, and you find all

706
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: of them, or you're gonna find none of them. You

707
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: can't just pick and choose. What what what games make

708
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: national headlines. We're gonna find teams on those nights.

709
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: In my mind, maybe there's a bit of a difference.

710
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: I hate I hate the load management. I'm with you there,

711
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: because if I'm buying a ticket for a game, I'm

712
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: going to maybe take my son and I want to

713
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: see a certain player and he's on the bench, that

714
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 2: would tick me off big time. But as soon as

715
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: Dallas found that they were eliminated from playoff competition, that's

716
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: when they sat down these guys to get a better

717
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 2: draft pick. So I think there may be a bit

718
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: of a difference.

719
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: But at that point, but at that point, what okay,

720
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: Well if they're if they're out of the playoff competition,

721
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: that's what everyone does. Like, why why are we singling

722
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: them out because they did the loudest, Like to me,

723
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: that's that is what the game is. Once you missed

724
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: the playoffs, you're you're playing for a lottery selection. Everyone

725
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 3: does this, So I don't know why the Dallas Mavericks

726
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: got something. Again, they did the loudest, right, they played

727
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 3: Luca for a quarter, right, and then sat him down.

728
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 3: They would They were the loudest about doing it this way.

729
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 3: They shoved in the commissioner's face that we're gonna do

730
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: this in and basically the like the flashiest way possible,

731
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 3: the way to make the most noise. But this is

732
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: the system of the NBA has set up that rewards

733
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: seems for taking you know, the you know the NFL,

734
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't have this issue. Right the Texans in week

735
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: eighteen tried to take and won the game. Like it

736
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 3: doesn't happen like that NBA.

737
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 2: So you just with Jacksonville. Then they was against Indiana

738
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: game right, Like.

739
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 3: To me, you just can't. If you find the Mavericks,

740
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 3: you better.

741
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: Find everyone else and we'll see, we'll see. Maybe it's

742
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: a president being said he I don't know. Jeff Andy

Speaker 2: about two months now since he came up from hibernation.

767
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: From the Jets point of view, and then maybe from

768
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Package point of view, how would you

769
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 2: handle it?

770
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 3: I'd call Lamar Jackson if I were the Jets, Hey, Lamar,

771
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: you want to play for the Jets? Interesting? I saw

772
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: the report today and again I was I wasn't on

773
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: social media all week, but I did see the report

774
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: that the Jets were kind of a little scared off.

775
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 3: After the Pat McAfee interview with Aaron, Rodgers admitted that

776
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: he thought about retiring. Yeah, I'd be yeah, I'd worry too,

777
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 3: because the guy you're training for, you want more than

778
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 3: a year commitment. And if he's like, yeah, I was

779
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 3: gonna retire, and then I basically decided not to because

780
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: the packers were gonna didn't want me anymore. I don't know, man,

781
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 3: I think it ends up happening. I mean, they're sending

782
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 3: this up obviously for it to happen, but I think

783
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: the Jets are probably having thinking about other plans just

784
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: to make sure that they get a quarterback. And Lamar

785
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: is the other option, right, he's out there. I don't

786
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: know if the Ravens wanted to trade him in, you know,

787
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: in in the conference, but that's the other option, right,

788
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 3: Go get Lamar younger. He'll cost on the capit'll be

789
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: about the same. Obviously you have to pay for more years.

790
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 3: But i'd give Lamar's representatives, whoever that is with the

791
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: Kent Francis guy, whoever, whoever's helping him out, give give

792
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 3: him a call and see see if he's the Ravens,

793
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: and call the Ravens and see if they're willing to

794
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 3: do a deal. Because if if it's not Rogers, you know,

795
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 3: you set yourself up to get a quarterback and Lamar

796
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: is available, I go make that call.

797
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: You know, you bring up an interesting point. If they

798
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: don't get Aaron Rodgers, the Jets do they go back

799
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: to Zach Wilson. Is that their future?

800
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: No, you can't. He's I mean, you can obviously, and

801
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: it's just you know, look, he's a pro. He'd get

802
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 3: over the the you know, the heartbreak of of maybe

803
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 3: the anger of how they treated in the off season,

804
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 3: but how they treat him, I mean trying to find

805
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 3: his replacement. He'll get over it. But Wilson's good enough.

806
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 3: And maybe you haven't given enough time to evaluate, but

807
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: I think that I think you have, and you just

808
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: you just move it along and you find someone else.

809
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: But the Jets are the Jets. Look, Robert Sala has

810
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 3: one year left. If he can't find it, if this

811
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: is it, like, if he can't find a quarterback, he's gone.

812
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 3: They're given the job of somebody else, and so there's

813
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: a pressure on him as a coach to get it right,

814
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 3: and getting it right is not Zach Wilson. In my opinion,

815
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 3: he can't afford to to try to make Zach Wilson

816
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: be good for a year he got. He didn't needs

817
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, he needs Lamar Jackson.

818
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: I don't think, yeah, I'm with you. I don't think

819
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: there's so much Zach Wilson not getting it done as

820
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: a player. But what he did after one of the

821
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: losses last year at the media conference, right, I think

822
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 2: he lost a team by doing that.

823
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: He certainly did, and I know he apologize for that,

824
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: but you kind of you know, now that was last year.

825
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 3: Now you you can you can that sort of leaves

826
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 3: itself in in last season. You can come in this

827
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: year in the spring and kind of repair his image

828
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 3: very quickly. Like that's not a problem this year. But

829
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: he needs to take responsibility for his own play. And

830
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 3: I think a lot of times players have a hard

831
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: time doing that, right. I mean, he was he was

832
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: good at BYU second pick. Overall, A lot of times players,

833
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 3: you know, they have success early in their career like that,

834
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: think that they deserve a job they've gotten for because

835
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 3: they're they're good enough. And sometimes that's true. But sometimes

836
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: you just kind of you're drafted that high because of

837
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: expectations and they think you can be somebody, and you

838
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 3: can keep working to be somebody. And I just don't

839
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: know if he quite understands that quite yet.

840
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 2: Okay, I wanted a squeeze a stead if I can look. So,

841
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 2: I know you're a chef. You have first time guests

842
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: for dinner. What's the Jeff Schwartz menu.

843
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: Oh, we're gonna make We're gonna probably gonna make some

844
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 3: some steak. It's just stakes, you know, It's just it's

845
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: easy going to make. Most people will eat steak right

846
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 3: and the side. So a man, it kind of depends.

847
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: Like vegetables, I like, I like green beans and broccoli.

848
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: I make these green beans where I make them, I

849
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: kind of cook them for a while, so I wiped

850
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: down a little bit, but a lot of garlic and

851
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: butter and salt, obviously, Like who doesn't like garlic, butter

852
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 3: and salt. I can make. I also like this carrot,

853
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 3: this kind of carrot puree with butter and sour cream.

854
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 3: It's really good. I could do that as well. And

855
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: then for like a carb you could obviously go any

856
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: sort of potato would work. You could fry potatoes, you

857
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 3: can make a potato, you could you just potatoes any

858
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: sort of way. In my opinion, rosotto would work as well.

859
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: There's just many options. There.

860
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: There we go, all right, I'll come on over for

Speaker 3: this wonderful Sunday morning. Lots of sports. You know, I

876
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: was out of the country for for a week. I

877
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: was able to kind of, you know, obviously keep kind

878
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: of you know, uh, up to data on what's happening.

879
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 3: But you know, I feel like I need some football

880
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: my life. Like I know, we had some USFL I

881
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: washed it yesterday, but there hasn't been enough like juicy

882
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 3: football news weeks. I feel like I thought, this is

883
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: a week we're gonna get some some like a juicy

884
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: draft take or someone's gonna like explode the internet with

885
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: some with some anger, some NFL anger, some draft anger,

886
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 3: like something.

887
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 2: Something Jan cleid. You brought that up because as a pro,

888
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 2: and you'd always be a pro. You played in the pros,

889
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 2: playing in the NFL for eight years. You watching the

890
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: USFL in those games, do you look in your mind

891
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: and say, this is subpar football. It's not up to

892
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 2: my standards in the NFL.

893
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's not. But that doesn't that that

894
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 3: doesn't I mean, I.

895
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 2: Hear what you said, football's football. Are you a football?

896
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's I think it's getting better that

897
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: it has been than it was last year. I mean yesterday.

898
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 3: I think this is year two obviously of this new USFL,

899
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 3: and so there's players returning. Look, I think with the

900
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: hard part about the USFL and the XFL or two positions, right,

901
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: which is the offensive line the quarterbacks. And there's barely

902
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: enough offensive linemen in general, you know in the you know,

903
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 3: in the the NFL, and there's barely enough of those

904
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 3: players in the in in you know, in the NFL.

905
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: Like it's just so so to have enough of them

906
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: in the USFL and the XFL is it's difficult, right,

907
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 3: And so that to me makes makes it hard. Now

908
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 3: the games is like yesterday, we're bad in the USFL again.

909
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: Year two, we're turning coaching staffs, players are getting more comfortable,

910
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: but the games are good. Yesterday it was fun to

911
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: watch it. I cover it for Fox Sports, so uh,

912
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 3: I do pay attention for that reason. But I also

913
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: think the timing of the USFL for me is better

914
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 3: because after the NFL season is done, I do need

915
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 3: a break from watching football. I also can't the weekend

916
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 3: after the Super Bowl tell my family, hey guys, I'm

917
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 3: gonna put on some more football. Right. But yesterday we

918
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 3: get home from our trip, it's about six and I say, hey, kids,

919
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 3: you know what do you want to watch? Playoff basketball

920
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: or do you watch USFL? And my son chose the

921
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: USFL to put on, really like, yeah, he just wants

922
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: to watch football, but it's easier, And of course I

923
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: watched and then he kind of pay attention for three

924
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: minutes I put the basketball on. I kind of went

925
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 3: back and forth. But but it's just that it's it's

926
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: hard to watch football right after the NFL is the

927
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 3: season is done, to watch non NFL action right because

928
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 3: this is this is now multiple months afterwards. It's like,

929
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 3: I feel better about watching ball right now than I

930
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: did two months ago. So I like the time of

931
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 3: the USFL better than the XFL.

932
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna lays signing because you said you wanted

933
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: a juicy story. I think this is somewhat of a

934
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 2: juicy story, and I think I may have happened while

935
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 2: you're on vacation. Odell Beckham Junior signed a fifteen million

936
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: dollar deal with the Ravens. All right, My question is this,

937
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: why why would the raven fork out that kind of money.

938
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: The guy's thirty one years old, he's often injured. And

939
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: I did a little thing on this last three year

940
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 2: stats sixty seven receptions over three years, eight hundred and

941
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: fifty six yards and only eight touchdowns. Plus he has

942
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: no clue as to who's going to be the quarterback

943
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 2: for the Ravens. So really and truly, I don't get

944
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 2: why he goes there, or maybe no one else wanted him,

945
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: or be why the Ravens even signed him.

946
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 3: M Yeah, it's a good question. So the money, I mean,

947
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: it's a one year deal, so you know, and he

948
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 3: got exactly what he wanted. Remember he said he wanted

949
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars. He got fifteen million dollars. You know,

950
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: everyone kind of assumes this is a deal to try

951
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: to get Lamar Jackson to come back, and assume it is.

952
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 3: But also guys like if Lamar doesn't come back, so what,

953
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 3: it's another wide receiving option for whoever is the quarterback. Like,

954
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 3: here's the thing about Odell. He is a really good teammate.

955
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 3: I think people look at him and think and see

956
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 3: kind of the personality and kind of larger than life

957
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 3: friends that he has, and and the connections that he has,

958
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 3: and sometimes the attention that they can draw to Odell.

959
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 3: I play with Odell when he was on the Giants.

960
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: Everywhere he's been, he has been like in the locker room.

961
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 3: And it's a misconception about Odell. I don't know why that, yes, yes,

962
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 3: And I don't know. I don't know why that became

963
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 3: a thing. You you you've never seen a wide receivers

964
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 3: are divas like that? That to me is he's thinking

965
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 3: about okay, uh he wide receiver and cornerback, right, are

966
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 3: the two positions often that we we call kind of

967
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 3: the diva positions right where where guys are they're they're

968
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 3: more often the divas, right, And the reason why is

969
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 3: they're the two positions that are the most like individualistic, right,

970
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 3: like they sorry, I can't get that word in my mouth,

971
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 3: but like they're the most one on one, right, they're

972
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 3: the most where it's me versus you and I have

973
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 3: to do. I have to win myself to even get

974
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: the ball, right, Like I have to do my job

975
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 3: myself to win. Like if I'm in man coverage is

976
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 3: a cornerback, it's me by myself against a wide receiver,

977
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 3: no help nothing, I'm by myself if I'm a wide receiver, right,

978
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 3: I have to I'm on a go run. I'm running

979
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 3: a post, I'm running an in, I'm running a return,

980
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 3: I'm running a whip. I'm running. It's me now. Obviously

981
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: the quarterback has to get me the ball, but I

982
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: have to get open. Right. If I'm an offensive lineman,

983
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 3: from a tight end, from a running back, I have Yes,

984
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 3: I have to do my job, but also other things

985
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: have to go right for my job to work well. Right,

986
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 3: And so there's less of a team aspect in the

987
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,959
Speaker 3: moment if you're a wide receiver cornerback. So I understand

988
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 3: those guys kind of being like about me, about myself,

989
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: about about my success, because it often their position is

990
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: about me and less about team. And so I've never

991
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 3: mind it. Now. Again, there can be a situations where

992
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 3: it's too much, right, We've definitely seen that with certain

993
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 3: wide receivers over the years. Antonio Brown comes to mind,

994
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 3: most recently, right where like the it gets it becomes

995
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 3: too much. And obviously, as you decline in play and

996
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 3: you become more of an issue, the team will get

997
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 3: rid of you. But you've never heard anything from any

998
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 3: of Odell's teammates about him as a locker room because

999
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 3: that's not a problem at all, Right, And so you're

1000
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 3: hoping if you're the Ravens that and healthy O'Dell and

1001
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 3: if he's healthy, he can still play. We saw even

1002
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl with the Rams, the difference with

1003
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 3: Odell on the field and off the field. The Rams

1004
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: were a different offense once he left the field. And

1005
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 3: so if he's healthy, which I assume he is, he's

1006
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 3: been out of football for a year now, he's taken

1007
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 3: enough time off. So he rushed back from his ACL injury.

1008
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 3: He left football February of twenty one, right, twenty.

1009
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 2: Two, you have to week nine season? Yeah, yeah, yes.

1010
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: So no, no, he came. He played in the Super

1011
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 3: Bowl though, right he did. Yeah, so February twenty two

1012
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 3: we played in the Super Bowl and and then he

1013
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 3: obviously was no February February twenty one, he played the

1014
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. He was out all of last season, so

1015
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 3: he said, plenty of time to recover, right, And so

1016
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 3: like he's gonna he'll be fine now again, whether or

1017
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 3: not this is it, and I trying to get Lamar

1018
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 3: to show up. I don't think this matters at all

1019
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 3: for that. I don't think Lamar is like, oh, all

1020
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 3: of a sudden, oh you don't want to take less

1021
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 3: money now? That tells here. But it allows them the

1022
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 3: option that if it's not Lamar Jackson. It's a quarterback.

1023
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 3: It gives you one more option. Maybe it's a young quarterback.

1024
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 3: I think there's a scenario setting up for Draft night

1025
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 3: where the Colts say, look, we'll take Lamar Jackson, here's

1026
00:49:55,719 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 3: the fourth pick Ravens, here's Anthony Richardson for you. That's

1027
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 3: that's certainly possible. I wouldn't put past anything that happened

1028
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 3: on Draft night where you end up having, you know,

1029
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 3: at the end of round one, Lamar Jackson is a

1030
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 3: cult and Anthony Richardson is a raven That would surprise

1031
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 3: me at all. So that's a scenario where now you

1032
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 3: have Odell within they Richardson for a season and maybe

1033
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: longer than that. So I think it just gives the

1034
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 3: Ravens just a lot of options. It doesn't mean that

1035
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: Lamar's count coming back. It doesn't. It only means anything

1036
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 3: for Lamar. I know people said this is a way

1037
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 3: to get Lamar back. Lamar wants money. He wants a

1038
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 3: certain guarantee number amount of money to come back to

1039
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 3: the Ravens. He doesn't want Odell on the Ravens or

1040
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 3: any other wide receiver on the Ravens to come to

1041
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 3: be there. He wants money.

1042
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the funny thing is with the Ravens right now,

1043
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: they gave him fifteen million guaranteed. That's a team record

1044
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 2: on the Ravens for wide receivers. It's also four million

1045
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: dollars more than any other wide receiver gotten free agency

1046
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 2: last year. And you look at the wide receiver group

1047
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: of the Ravens, they ranked last in receiving yards three

1048
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 2: of the last four seasons, and the top receivers were like,

1049
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: basically no names, Nelson Agal, Rashan Bateman, and Devind.

1050
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 3: It's basically been like Mark Andrews their tight end, right. Yeah,

1051
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 3: So they're definitely wide receivers. So this is a good

1052
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 3: start for them to add Odell. I imagine the draft ad.

1053
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 3: They had a couple of guys here and look, you know,

1054
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 3: obviously the offense had not been set up in the

1055
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 3: past to really feature wide receivers in a way that

1056
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 3: the way that that that that that has them showing

1057
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 3: up on the stat sheet this year. Todd Munkin and

1058
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator comes from Georgia. If you watch any

1059
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 3: of the Georgia offenses, very multiple but you know, very

1060
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: very pro style heavy, but multiple tight ends and wide

1061
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 3: receivers and taking shots and bootlegs and play actions and

1062
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: you know, fun form like they're going to use a

1063
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: wide receiver a lot more in in his offense, so

1064
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 3: there's more there'll be more options for wide receivers this

1065
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 3: year for the Raven. So I'm interested to see kind

1066
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 3: of how it all plays out. But I really do

1067
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: think there's a possibility that it's the Colts end up

1068
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 3: with Lamar and it happens near draft night.

1069
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: And the funny thing is, like you know, as you said,

1070
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 2: many people thought the addition of Odell would bring Lamar

1071
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: to the table, and maybe he'll come on there. I

1072
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: think it could be the complete opposite. The addition of

1073
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: Odell may be changing the offensive scheme of that entire

1074
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 2: team and going towards the passing game, which they never

1075
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 2: did before. And they may get that Anthony Richards into

1076
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: the pick and swap with the Colts.

1077
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 3: Yeah again, I think I I think it just it

1078
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 3: It gives you options. Like it just gives you options.

1079
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't. It doesn't walk you into any sort of quarterback,

1080
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't lock you in a sort of offensive scheme.

1081
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 3: It just gives you options. If if Lamar comes back, well, Lamar,

1082
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 3: this is the most talented wide receiver on paper, and

1083
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: obviously O'Dell's to be healthy and all the thing that

1084
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: you've had in your time in Baltimore. But if it's not,

1085
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 3: if you're not going to be here this year, well

1086
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 3: guess what a young quarterback? You have a veteran wide

1087
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 3: receiver who's done a lot of great things in his career,

1088
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl champion who can help you out, or

1089
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 3: anyone else. Have a veteran quarterback. I even know who's

1090
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 3: on the market right now. Okay, you're the quarterback, Tyler Hundley,

1091
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 3: your quarterback for the year. There's a possibility that Baltimore

1092
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 3: just says, well, screw it, we're just gonna sink this

1093
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 3: season and we're gonna get Kayle Williams next year. Now,

1094
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh's job might not be there next year. I

1095
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 3: don't know. Do you remember John Harbaugh was about to

1096
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 3: be fired before Lamar Jackson took over in twenty eighteen.

1097
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 3: It's seven twenty seventeen, and then my years missed up.

1098
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 3: The twenty seventeen, the year of Lamar took over. Halfway

1099
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 3: through season, he was about to get fired. So the

1100
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 3: Ravens have many different plays here, and I'm sure they've

1101
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 3: discussed all these plays, you know what they could be,

1102
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 3: and a lot of it hinges on and obviously what Lamar,

1103
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: You know what they end up getting or doing with Lamar.

1104
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. He's Jeff Schwartz. Get him on Twitter.

1105
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: We'll read the tweets. Tweets a little slow today. I

00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: this quarterback?

1117
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 3: That's next?

1118
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: Will we see him in twenty twenty three? That's right

1119
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: around the corner. He's Jeff. What's on, Andy Furman? This

1121
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: love it. I really do, one of my favorites. He

1122
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 2: really is. And I haven't asked you this in a while, Jeff.

1123
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: Have your book sales increased with the exposure we're giving

1124
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 2: it here on Fox Sports Sunday?

1125
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, millions, millions, another printing. No, I don't get

1126
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 3: I don't get those numbers. I have no idea.

1127
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 2: All right, I thought maybe maybe, but uh I'm doing.

1128
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, no, uh no, no number, I don't I

1129
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 3: don't get the numbers. I'm sorry.

1130
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 2: That's all right. We move on. Now. You mentioned this

1131
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson situation. Is it possible in this crazy world

1132
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: of the National Football League? And the situation is very interesting?

1133
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: Could he maybe not play at all this year? I

1134
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: doubt that.

1135
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 3: So people have said that that's a possibility, right, that

1136
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 3: he's holding out and he won't play this year. To me,

1137
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 3: that it always feels like like unrealistic, right, you know

1138
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 3: we say that each year about oh, well, you know,

1139
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 3: this guy would just hold out for this year? I think,

1140
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 3: I mean the last one to do, I think was

1141
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 3: was Carson Palmer, right, the last.

1142
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 2: Guy on the Steelers, remember Lada on Bell.

1143
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 3: I'm talking about quarterback position. But yeah, it was was

1144
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 3: lady On Bell who never made his money back up

1145
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 3: for that year, right, and Carson Palmer who ended up

1146
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: did making his money back. There's a certain number of

1147
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 3: years you have as an NFL player to earn a

1148
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 3: lot of money, right, you know, I played eight years

1149
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 3: in the NFL. I made a lot of money. There

1150
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 3: was eight years, even the years when I wasn't quote

1151
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 3: unquote making a lot of NFL money, like relative to

1152
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 3: other players in the sport, I was making a lot

1153
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 3: more money I may now, right. And so to not

1154
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 3: to spend an entire year not making money, not playing

1155
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 3: your prime, not getting a pension year, not adding to

1156
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 3: your four oh one K, not getting a year toward

1157
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 3: free agency, because if you sit out a year, that

1158
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 3: doesn't just your phrasey clock stops essentially, right, the Ravens

1159
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: would still own his rights the year after. It doesn't

1160
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 3: feel like something that would benefit Lamar Jackson in the end,

1161
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 3: because the Ravens would just move on. They would just

1162
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 3: find a quarterback and move it along. Like it just

1163
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like a situation that that is like

1164
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 3: is great. I don't think that's gonna end up being

1165
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 3: positive for Lamar in the end to sit out this season.

1166
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 2: The foolish move really is now. If you remember, and

1167
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Colts about a month ago when they

1168
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: had the NFL meetings, the general manager of the Colts,

1169
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard, he said that they're looking at the possibility

1170
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 2: of acquiring Jackson. He mentioned Jackson's name, he said that,

1171
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: and I think they kind of backed off a little

1172
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: bit the last couple of weeks, but he basically said that.

1173
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 2: But the question is is Lamar Jackson worth two first

1174
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: round picks? Because I think here's a guy that he's

1175
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: just one hit away of being on the engine list.

1176
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 3: Well, so is everyone else?

1177
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the way he plays though.

1178
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that the one or the one. I used

1179
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 3: to think like that a little bit too. I was like,

1180
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 3: you know what, man, maybe that one, you know, one

1181
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 3: hit away, blah blah blah. But I will say though,

1182
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 3: that the one thing that a lot of the quarterbacks

1183
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 3: that get hurt in the NFL that are mobile. Now,

1184
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is a different type of mobile than let's say,

1185
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 3: even like a Patrick mahomes right, who is mobile, but

1186
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 3: it's more of a of a pocket type passer for

1187
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 3: the most part, and obviously able to scramble, and Lamar

1188
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 3: just you know, disability to run is unique. Most of

1189
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 3: these guys get hurt in and around the pocket. They

1190
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 3: do not get hurt scrambling down the field, which is

1191
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 3: what most people think. Now, do most of the guys

1192
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 3: get hurt standing in the pocket. No, They're gonna hurt

1193
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 3: get in and around the pocket, moving around the pocket,

1194
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 3: but they don't hurt really running. And Lamar has not

1195
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 3: gotten hurt running. He's gotten hurt in and around the pocket.

1196
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 3: And so the concern is not really how he's gotten hurt,

1197
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 3: is that he hasn't finished the last two seasons. That's

1198
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: the concern for teams. If you're gonna sign someone to

1199
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 3: a long term contract, they have to be able to play.

1200
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 3: And he has not finished the last two seasons healthy.

1201
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 3: And if you're a team, that concerns you, you think yourself, well,

1202
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 3: why hasn't he finished those years? If he comes to

1203
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 3: my team, is he gonna finish this? Like I'm paying

1204
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 3: them all this money and he needed to play. So

1205
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 3: that to me is it's not really how he gets hurt.

1206
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 3: It's why he's hurt, right, It's it's it's how much

1207
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 3: time is he missing that is, it's a problem, and

1208
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 3: so that concerns team I think far more than it

1209
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 3: does kind of his style of play.

1210
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: And I think what hurt him also, I mean the

1211
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 2: speculation was that he may have could have played. He

1212
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 2: set out that playoff gave against the Cincinnati Bengals this year.

1213
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 2: People are speculating that he did that because he wanted

1214
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 2: to show the team what his worth was, that he

1215
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 2: really wasn't hurt, though I doubt that. I don't think

1216
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: he would do well.

1217
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so here's my My interpretation on that is a

1218
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 3: little bit along those lines. So there's a there's Do

1219
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 3: I think he was hurt, Yes, I absolutely do think

1220
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 3: he was hurt, But I think if he had a

1221
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 3: contract that guaranteed him a certain number of years, he

1222
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 3: might have tried to play. Now that that doesn't mean

1223
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 3: he would have been one hundred percent. I actually don't

1224
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 3: think Again, it wasn't one hundred percent. But I do

1225
01:00:55,600 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 3: think that if he knew that how whatever level play

1226
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 3: he gave the team on that day would not affect

1227
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 3: any sort of contract negotiation in the offseason, he might

1228
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 3: have tried to play. But I legitimately believe he was

1229
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 3: hurt to the point that it would have affected his

1230
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 3: game a lot. But again, if you're under contract, you

1231
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 3: might try to play. But if you're Lamar, you're like, look,

1232
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 3: I'm hurt. I'm fifty percent. A lot of my game

1233
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: is my mobility and not being mobile, and knowing I'm

1234
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 3: a free agent, I can't go. So I again, I

1235
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 3: legitimately believe he's hurt. I don't think he was healthy

1236
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 3: and sat out, but I do think that he was

1237
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 3: under contract. He just puts on a brace, puts on

1238
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 3: a bunch of tape, and starts a game. Under starts

1239
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 3: a game. Now, whether he finish the game or he

1240
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 3: plays a lot, I don't know, but I do think

1241
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 3: if he's under contract, he does see the field in

1242
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 3: that playoff game for how long I don't know, for

1243
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 3: how many plays. I don't know. If he is effective,

1244
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 3: probably not, but I do think he's on the field

1245
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 3: at least in a uniform for that game. I do,

1246
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 3: And it.

1247
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 2: Could have made a difference with his teammates. His teammates

1248
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 2: will really rally around him. Perhaps, And I will say this,

1249
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 2: I've said a lot of stupid things over the years

1250
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 2: behind this microphone, but I will say this. I really

1251
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 2: get upset when people speculate about a guy not playing

1252
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: because he's hurt, because I don't think people realize the

1253
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: threshold of pain. People have different thresholds people. Some people

1254
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 2: could grin and barrett and play, some people can't.

1255
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, again, I'm not questioning whether he was hurt.

1256
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 3: I legitimately think he was hurt. But I think that

1257
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 3: that sometimes again, the content situation, sometimes that does matter

1258
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, whether or not you

1259
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 3: can you decide to kind of give it a go

1260
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 3: at times, because again, if you're if you're if you're

1261
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 3: Lamar and you're fifty percent, and you know that any

1262
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 3: that you're on the field, that's gonna not gonna be great,

1263
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, and you're gonna be afraidgent Like, it's hard

1264
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 3: to sell that that game on the field for that game,

1265
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Right?

1266
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: And what I don't understand is that the other teams

1267
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: that have needs in quarterbacks, and he did not even

1268
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 2: reaching out toward the Seattle, Detroit, Tennessee, Tampa Bay maybe

1269
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: even Kirk Cousins in the last contract year in Minnesota.

1270
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 2: Maybe he maybe in Minnesota is a possibility, And I

1271
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 2: don't see any team coming to question to even ask

1272
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Lamar would you be interested? That kind of blows me away.

1273
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 3: Well, we don't. We don't know that. We don't know

1274
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 3: that because most often a lot of these leaves come

1275
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 3: from the agent side. We don't know that because no agents,

1276
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 3: you have an agent, right, So we don't we don't

1277
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 3: know that. Really, a lot of teams I think are

1278
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 3: having discussions behind the scenes about Lamar. I have to

1279
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 3: imagine they absolutely are. So we just don't know that honestly.

1280
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue on that conversation. But he's Jeff Schwartz,

1281
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 2: I mean, firm will take your calls as well at

1282
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: eight seven seven ninety nine h Fox. But there's a

1283
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 2: new wrinkle in this quarterback drama. There really is. That's

1284
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 2: coming up next on Fox Sports Sunday Live for the

1285
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 2: Tyraq dot com studios. But first, here's Nick Cope with

1286
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 2: the update.

1287
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 6: All right, guys, we had the NBA playoffs get underway

1288
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 6: on Saturday. The Sacramento Kings got their first playoff win

1289
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 6: since two thousand and six. They beat the Warriors one

1290
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 6: twenty six to one twenty three. Daron Fox coming out

1291
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 6: party for him. He had a game high thirty eight points.

1292
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 6: Steph Curry had thirty for Golden State. Elsewhere, the Knicks

1293
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 6: held off of eight serge from Cleveland one to one

1294
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 6: to ninety seven, the final in favor of New York.

1295
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 6: Donovan Mitchell had thirty eight for the Cavs. Didn't get

1296
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 6: enough help elsewhere, and Jalen Bruns had led New York

1297
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 6: with twenty seven. Celtics led by as many as thirty two.

1298
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 6: They would go on to win by thirteen against the

1299
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 6: Hawks one twelve to ninety nine, as Jalen Brown had

1300
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 6: twenty nine, Trey Young just sixteen points on five of

1301
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 6: eight shooting for Atlanta, and the seventy six ers one

1302
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 6: to one oh one over the Nets. Philly was in

1303
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 6: control the entire contest and baseball, the Dodgers walked off

1304
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 6: the Cubs two to one, a two RBI single from

1305
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 6: David Parolton the ninth, giving LA the victory. Mariners rolled

1306
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 6: to a nine to two win over the Rockies. Julio

1307
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 6: Rodriguez drove in four. Astro has handled the Rangers eight

1308
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 6: to two. Braves are now eleven and four. They beat

1309
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 6: the Royals on the road nine to three. Red's got

1310
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 6: a couple of home runs from Will Myers. They blew

1311
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 6: out the Phillies thirteen to zhering. Jay Croninworth hit two

1312
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 6: home runs for the Padres and they took care of

1313
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 6: the Brewers ten to three and one. Note in college football,

1314
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 6: a lot of spring games going on On Saturday. At

1315
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 6: the Texas Spring Game, coach Steve Sarkisian said that quinn

1316
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 6: Ewers is their starting quarterback for next season. Let's go

1317
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 6: back to Andy Furman and Jeff Schwartz.

1318
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nick. We'll see you in about an hour.

1319
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 2: I guess have a good day. Now, this could be

1320
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 2: a real possibility. We'll explain that in just about a minute.

1321
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 2: We've cossed a fifty online and what we call Fox

1323
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 2: mean Andy Furman, and we're brought to you by Discover.

Speaker 2: got boton barrow betting at about seven eight minutes from now.

1329
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: But the Aaron Rodgers situation. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets

1330
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 2: right now, they're in somewhat of a holding pattern. I

1331
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 2: want to know why that's happening right now? Because the

1332
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 2: Green Bay asking price two second round picks this year,

1333
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 2: one first round there next year, and all of a sudden,

1334
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson of the Jets, the ownership, the man who

1335
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 2: owns the money bags, I guess he says no too much.

1336
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 2: Didn't he know that going in? I mean, why now?

1337
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 2: And this is a possibility, it may not happen.

1338
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 3: Look, it's always there's moving parts in all these right,

1339
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 3: so you know, look, um, right now before the draft,

1340
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 3: the leverage is all on the Jets, right because if

1341
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 3: the Packers want to move on, which appears they do,

1342
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 3: they need they would want, i should say, draft picks

1343
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 3: to be given to them now, right. They want draft

1344
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 3: picks in this draft to use to build up the

1345
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 3: roster now for Jordan Love now right to help the

1346
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 3: team now. So if they want this done now, the

1347
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 3: leverages is on the Jets, right because the Packers would say, hey, okay,

1348
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 3: we'll take what you're giving us. We'll do it now

1349
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 3: so we can get draft picks in this draft and

1350
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 3: make our team better. Obviously, now once it gets past

1351
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 3: the draft, and there's and there's there's a good possibility

1352
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 3: does get past draft. Because the way that the Packers

1353
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 3: structure the contract, the cap hit becomes more manageable after

1354
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 3: June first, and they don't Rogers anything until September first anyway,

1355
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 3: so it really doesn't even become an issue for them

1356
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 3: capwise until September. After the draft, it turns to really

1357
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 3: the Packers have the leverage because now the clock is

1358
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 3: starting to tick on the Jets needing their quarterback in

1359
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 3: the building right And obviously now the draft compensation becomes

1360
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 3: part of the twenty twenty four draft and they have

1361
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 3: all the way from you then you know, from the

1362
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 3: end of this draft, all the way till next year

1363
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 3: for that competition to really be worth anything. So it changes.

1364
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 3: And so that's why I think, I think when we

1365
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 3: get closer, and we're about eleven days away now from

1366
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 3: the draft, we'll start seeing that squeeze on the Packers

1367
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 3: happen as they feel that they need to get this

1368
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 3: done now. I think, to me, personally, this is not

1369
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 3: done before the draft. It's done near training camp, and

1370
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 3: the Jets are going to feel that squeeze of like

1371
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 3: we better get this done or else, and the Packers

1372
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 3: get a lot more than we think they're gonna get,

1373
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 3: because the Jets are gonna feel like I need that

1374
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 3: guy in my building. Now, you're Roberts, I'll a head coach.

1375
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 3: Was kind of quoted in all paraphrase. You know, he

1376
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 3: saying like, oh, we don't need him in the building

1377
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 3: anytime soon, because you know he he quote knows the

1378
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 3: offensive you know he quotes to me he quote knows

1379
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:18,839
Speaker 3: the the play caller and Nate Hackett and blah blah blah, Like, Okay,

1380
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 3: sure he does know him, but again, Nate hacking didn't

1381
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: call plays in Green Bay. Rogers doesn't know his offensive line.

1382
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 3: He knows one of the wide receivers. He needs to

1383
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 3: get there as soon as possible to start working with

1384
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 3: his new teammates. Last year we saw in Green Bay

1385
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 3: that he had new wide receivers around him, he had

1386
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 3: new even offensive lineman. Because of injuries around him, it

1387
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 3: took him two months to get into a rhythm, and

1388
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 3: by then there were four and eight and couldn't make

1389
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs, right, Like, you need him to get there

1390
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 3: as soon as possible because if I'm the Jets man.

1391
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 3: Like I again, as soon as the draft happens, I

1392
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,600
Speaker 3: don't think. I don't think's gona happen before then. You

1393
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 3: gotta get him in. You got him in the building.

1394
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 3: But the Jets to to I understand for them. Rogers

1395
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 3: said on the Macavie interview, I was ninety percent going

1396
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 3: to retire. I came out of the darkness retreat. I

1397
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 3: looked at my cell phone that had been you know,

1398
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 3: put away for four days, and I saw the Packers

1399
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 3: had moved on without me. And at that point I

1400
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 3: decided to come back. So he's come back for spite,

1401
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 3: and I get it. A lot of players do that,

1402
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, we could. I think, you know, Spiite went

1403
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 3: to the Bucks and went Super Bowl less spite than

1404
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 3: I think Aaron Rodgers had. But nonetheless, so if you're

1405
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 3: the Jets and you're going to pay some draft capital

1406
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 3: for Rogers, some money for Rogers, some cap capital for Rogers,

1407
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 3: the all obviously all the media attention for Rogers, the

1408
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 3: expectations for Rogers, you wanted there for more than a year,

1409
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 3: You're you're most likely not going to win in year one,

1410
01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 3: especially in your division, in your conference, it's probably year

1411
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 3: two when you have a chance to win a Super Bowl. Well,

1412
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 3: if you just hear a guy going to interview and say, yeah,

1413
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, maybe I'm just not quite into this

1414
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 3: football thing as much anymore, Well, do you want to

1415
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:12,759
Speaker 3: trade for that guy?

1416
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 2: Right?

1417
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 3: Probably not?

1418
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:15,839
Speaker 2: The guy said he wanted he was thinking of retiring.

1419
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: I don't want a guy who's not all in in

1420
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 2: any business.

1421
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 3: Yes, so I think that there is a little bit

1422
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 3: of like I don't I don't know, but they've but

1423
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 3: the Jets have put so much into Aaron Rodgers' basket

1424
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 3: that I sort of think they have to do it. Yeah,

1425
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 3: so I, uh, lots of lots of moving parts here,

1426
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 3: pretty pretty interesting.

1427
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 2: But here are the possibilities that I have maybe on

1428
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 2: way off base here a no trade, B trade that

1429
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 2: that we know c he retires because he said he

1430
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 2: was thinking about retiring. But here's another wrinkle that I

1431
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 2: don't think a lot of people are talking about. He

1432
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 2: doesn't retire, but green Bay says we don't want to

1433
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 2: get back, say there's no trade, and he's thinking, well,

1434
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to retire to go back to green Bay,

1435
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 2: and the FACTE sorry, we're moving on without you. That's

1436
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 2: another possibility, right.

1437
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 3: Well, he did their contracts or do they do this contract?

1438
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I don't think they want him back.

1439
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 3: No, they don't want him back. I don't want him back,

1440
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 3: but they have to but they have to have to

1441
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 3: deal with contract. So he's gotta be somewhere.

1442
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well he could get the contract and pay him off.

1443
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: I mean, they just don't want him there. I think

1444
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 2: the fans were I don't think anybody wants him. I

1445
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 2: think they're tired with this whole situation. And the crazy

1446
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 2: thing is when he went away for four days in

1447
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 2: that hut, you know, I'm thought about things. Okay, we

1448
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 2: thought we'd have a decision after that. And then when

1449
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 2: he comes out and says he's thought about retiring. I mean,

1450
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 2: if you're the Jets, you must be pulling your hair

1451
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 2: out of your head. I mean, they probably thought this

1452
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 2: deal would be done, and their general manager Joe Douglas

1453
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 2: didn't need tell Boomera size and reasons. Don't worry about

1454
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a Jet, you know. I mean they're

1455
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 2: gonna get egg on their face big time. And the

1456
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 2: list thing they want is Zach Wilson to be quarterback

1457
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 2: on opening Day.

1458
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 3: I think he will and end up being the quarterback

1459
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: or opening Day. I just think it's going to be

1460
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 3: a painful way to get.

1461
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 2: There, unbelievably. Really, it's you know, it's great for the NFL,

1462
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 2: I guess, but I think people are tired of it because,

1463
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 2: as we know, the NFL is a soap opera. They're

1464
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 2: in the news three sixty five, seven days a week,

1465
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 2: and he's certainly a big part of it. I think

1466
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 2: he's got that ego, which he loves that. But you know,

1467
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 2: this is getting ridiculous, it really is. All right, He's

1569
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,879
Speaker 2: this stupid game, I couldn't even find these freaking teams. Okay,

1586
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 8: We'll just go with Titans.

1587
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 2: Why would you put yourself in a position where you

1588
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 2: can pronounce the names? Why would you pick these?

1589
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 7: Because it's fun? So and we gotta bet on. We

1590
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 7: don't gotta bet on the game. We're actually gonna bet

1591
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 7: on the coin toss. Who's gonna win the coin toss?

1592
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 7: The Royals are the Titans.

1593
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 3: So what's the coin toss for? Exactly?

1594
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 7: The coin toss is to get I believe it is

1595
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 7: for who retains possession of the cricket ball.

1596
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 8: First.

1597
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 2: I never knew it was a coin to us and.

1598
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 8: Cricket mean neither. With Royals against two Royals versus Titans, well.

1599
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 3: Titans fans are the most sensitive on social media on

1600
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 3: the NFL. Titans fans they just are like when you

1601
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 3: argue with them, it's like, buddy, take a deep breath,

1602
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 3: Like you all haven't won anything. Take a deep breath.

1603
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 3: So I'll go with the Royals here. I'm a Chiefs guy,

1604
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 3: I'll take the Royals here In honor of the Kansas

1605
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 3: City Royals. So I'll be I'll tak the Royals, all right.

1606
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not doing this to jump on Schwitzers back,

1607
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: but I'm taking the Royals because of the old Cincinnati Royals,

1608
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 2: which are now the Sacramento Kings, and I love the

1609
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 2: Sacramento running for them to win. So I'm gonna go

1610
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 2: with the Royals.

1611
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 8: All right.

1612
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 7: We got two Royals, all right? Last one, guys, and

1613
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 7: it's call of duty. Now we have a it is

1614
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 7: a best of five matchup games like a basketball series,

1615
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 7: but it's in one sitting, one day. How many matches

1616
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 7: do you think the New York Subliners in the Boston

1617
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 7: breach will go three games?

1618
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 8: Four games or five?

1619
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 3: What called do we playing? Like?

1620
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 7: It's called duty? I believe it was a call of duty.

1621
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 7: I think a ghosts make a difference to me.

1622
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 3: I mean I think they go they go the max.

1623
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 3: Whatever you said that the most five? Five?

1624
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, five, I'm taking They're not gonna go five, There's

1625
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 2: no way. I think that the New York's upland is

1626
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 2: rolling pretty good, but they're not going five.

1627
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 8: What's what's the other three or four?

1628
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go three.

1629
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 8: All right, we'll go with three. All right, and that's it.

1630
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 8: That would be it for bottom barrel betting guys.

Speaker 2: Go, good, Yes we are, and we're ready for Act

1648
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 2: two today. NBA basketball are the games yesterday? We had

1649
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 2: to winners Philadelphia, Boston and the Knicks. No real surprise

1650
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 2: is there? Maybe perhaps the Knicks was a bit of

1651
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 2: a surprise at kaz Or a four seed. The Knicks

1652
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 2: were a five seeds, So we'll see. But I like

1653
01:21:58,439 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 2: the Knicks, I really do.

1654
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a four verse five. I know

1655
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 3: the Cavs were a couple of point favorites. I mean,

1656
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 3: you know, that's part of it this time of year.

1657
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 3: To me, that's a serious ago.

1658
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 2: I think either way, right, and we know on you

1659
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 2: you agree that in the East it's Milwaukee, Boston and Philadelphia.

1660
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 2: Not the West. I think it's wide open. And they

1661
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 2: got the Lakers Memphis today, and you talk about the

1662
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 2: Lakers with their forty three wins, they had the second

1663
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 2: best defense in the last two months of the regular season.

1664
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 2: You got Lebron and ad If Davis stays healthy, they

1665
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: could do some damage it. I believe they can because

1666
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 2: they got a better team since that trade deadline. I

1667
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 2: think the Lakers can do some good and I'd like

1668
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 2: to see Lebron go deep in the playoffs.

1669
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I'm a Lakers fan. I hope they do well.

1670
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 3: It's just hard to see health wise everything going right

1671
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,680
Speaker 3: for them for like two months. R I mean, it

1672
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 3: just continues to be an issue. I think this lineup

1673
01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 3: since the trade deadline has only had ten ish game, right,

1674
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:05,440
Speaker 3: nine games together fully kind of healthy and complete, and

1675
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 3: I just worry that, you know, the health will get

1676
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 3: the better of them. If they're all together, it's a

1677
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 3: formidable lineup, right, Like, they can definitely do damage in

1678
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 3: the NBA playoffs. It just has to all happen when

1679
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 3: they're all together and they're all healthy. And that's my

1680
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 3: concern is can it happen all at once? And if

1681
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,799
Speaker 3: it does, yeah, they can certally win the Western Conference.

1682
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 3: Just crazy, because again the regulars isn't done. Doesn't really

1683
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:33,679
Speaker 3: matter if the seven seed, who basically spent the first

1684
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 3: half of the season with a whole different team is

1685
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 3: able to just show up in the playoffs not you know,

1686
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 3: last year the Warriors did it because of injury, right, right,

1687
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 3: they were injured. Last year they got healthy and won

1688
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 3: the championship. The Lakers in this position, you know, basically

1689
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 3: with the trade, a little bit of health and now

1690
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 3: a whole different team can win the championship as a

1691
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:54,679
Speaker 3: seventh seed.

1692
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 2: That stretching. I don't think win the championship.

1693
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 3: No, they can win the championship. I think I think

1694
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 3: they can win the West.

1695
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 2: I think I think they can have our time beating Memphis.

1696
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 3: I really don't have a hard team beating anybody, but

1697
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 3: they can. They can certainly do.

1698
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 2: It, right they could now. The Grizzlies are on a roll.

1699
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 2: They won fifty one games this year, and then when

1700
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 2: the Jay Moran thing happened with the gun thing, it

1701
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 2: kind of put them off the rails a little bit.

1702
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 2: But I think this team could score. And they got

1703
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,759
Speaker 2: the number two seed, top ten offense, top three defense,

1704
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 2: They got it rolling pretty good in Memphis, and this

1705
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 2: could go seven games this series as in you know,

1706
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, I think it will be a better series

1707
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 2: if it was a five game series, a little more

1708
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 2: drama there.

1709
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 3: The Grizzlies just have Anthony Davis problems. Who's gonna stop

1710
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis in this series? That that, to me is

1711
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 3: is their concern. If they can find someone to do

1712
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 3: that because all their bigs are hurt right now, they

1713
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 3: don't have the depth right now, then you know that

1714
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 3: they have a much better chance to win. And and

1715
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 3: John Ran in the playoffs has been incredible early in

1716
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 3: his career and the Lakers have to find a way

1717
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:03,719
Speaker 3: and maybe they put Lebron on him for a little

1718
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 3: bit find a way to really harass him and get

1719
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 3: someone in his face and get someone to just slow

1720
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 3: him down. So there's a lot of matchups to watch

1721
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 3: in this series. I think today in Game one is

1722
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 3: pretty fascinating. I think the Grizzlies get out to a fast,

1723
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 3: fast start. Today they're at home at the Lakers. It's

1724
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 3: primetime television. This is the game on ABC. I believe

1725
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 3: today there's a lot of staking Game one. I'm looking

1726
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 3: forward to watching this one. This is the one I'm

1727
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 3: looking forward to watching the most. Heading Clippers and Sons

1728
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:31,720
Speaker 3: probably second.

1729
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 2: Right, and you got Milwaukee playing Miami. I look at

1730
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 2: Milwaukee to win it all this year. They won fifty

1731
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 2: eight games, best regular season record, they got the All

1732
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 2: Star Giannest the Heat. They're good. They won forty four games,

1733
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 2: but not as good as a year ago. I love

1734
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy Buckets. I think Butler's a tremendous player. I mean,

1735
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 2: if I was a player, I loved to have him

1736
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 2: as a teammate. He just gives you everything every day.

1737
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 2: But I just don't think they have the manpower to

1738
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 2: beat Milwaukee.

1739
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 3: The Heater, the Heat feel like the same team to

1740
01:25:57,040 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 3: me every year, Like they're gonna, they're gonna they're gonna

1741
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 3: play defense, they're gonna grind you out a little bit.

1742
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 3: But they're not a team that you look at as

1743
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 3: like a championship caliber team, right, Like, they're a quality team.

1744
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 3: They're gonna give you their best effort each night, but

1745
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 3: they're not a team that you look at as a team.

1746
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 3: I think that's seriously going to give the Bucks any

1747
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 3: sort of issues over seven game series right now. The

1748
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 3: five game series is because it's the thing about the

1749
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 3: five D series. Let's say the Heat win today, which

1750
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 3: is obviously very unlikely, but let's say they win today, right,

1751
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 3: the amount of pressure on the Bucks, like it's ratcheted

1752
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 3: up because now that he just have to win two games, right,

1753
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 3: So like, but it's seven game series. That's nothing that

1754
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 3: it's seven series that the best team is going to

1755
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 3: end up winning a majority of those games.

1756
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you're right. And it's funny, you know,

1757
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 2: the seven game series the best team And I'm looking

1758
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 2: at this series and you mentioned it, the Clippers Sons.

1759
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 2: I look at the Phoenix Suns and they're basically picked

1760
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 2: by many to win the division, to win that end

1761
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 2: of the playoffs, scheme and they won forty five games,

1762
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 2: but they're a four seed. That's the question. But again,

1763
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 2: when you have a lineup with the Chris Paul, Ayight

1764
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 2: and DeAndre Ayton, Devin Booker and KD. If he's healthy,

1765
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 2: and I think he will be, but let's hope he

1766
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 2: is healthy. I think this team is a favorite to

1767
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 2: win the title. I really do.

1768
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 3: I think with the Suns, just like almost with the

1769
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 3: Warriors last year, is the health right is You just

1770
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 3: didn't see a lot of them together, even after the

1771
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 3: KD trade because he was hurt. Remember he rose ankle

1772
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 3: like his first night was gonna play warming up, And

1773
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 3: we just haven't seen a lot of them play together.

1774
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 3: And when they play together, they've played good basketball. And

1775
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 3: so it's just a matter of getting this team all

1776
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 3: playing together at once and over the playoffs, of geling

1777
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 3: together and health right. Chris Paul's health over the playoffs,

1778
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 3: We've seen over the years injuries pop up for him

1779
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 3: in critical times during the playoffs. Kevin Drant obviously his age,

1780
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 3: he's dealing with injuries. It feels like every couple of weeks,

1781
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 3: you know, can these two guys stay healthy for an

1782
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 3: entire playoff? Series. And I know we said that for

1783
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 3: many teams now Lakers Sons, but.

1784
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 2: The team they're playing when you.

1785
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 3: Have older yeah, the Clippers, you have older players. It's injuries, right,

1786
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 3: it can can so a lot of these teams. It's

1787
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 3: it's who is going to stay the healthiest over the

1788
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 3: seven game series.

1789
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 2: Now, this is gonna be an interesting series because you

1790
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,600
Speaker 2: have Phoenix that won forty five games. You see the

1791
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 2: Clip has won forty four. But Kawhi Leonard and Pool

1792
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 2: George they missed about twenty twenty five games this year.

1793
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:49,320
Speaker 2: Paul George, he hasn't played since like early March because

1794
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,719
Speaker 2: of a knee injury. I gotta go with the Phoenix

1795
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,759
Speaker 2: Suns if it was a healthy KD to win this series.

1796
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 2: But this could be a this could be a seven

1797
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 2: game series.

1798
01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:02,600
Speaker 3: This Clippers good look, I am a native of Los Angeles.

1799
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 3: The Clippers are untrustworthy. Just you, They're not trustworthy ever

1800
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,679
Speaker 3: with anything. It doesn't matter who's playing on the team.

1801
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 3: Like they've never been a Western Conference final even they're

1802
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 3: just they're just he just never trust them. But there's

1803
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:19,679
Speaker 3: there's no point of trusting the Clippers to ever do anything.

1804
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm with you, I think I think Phoenix probably

1805
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 2: is a better team. I think you talked about health wise.

1806
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 2: I think they're probably healthier than the Clippers, and the

1807
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 2: Clippers haven't really played together as a unit for a

1808
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 2: long time. That's a that's a major factor.

1809
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 3: Yes, And again, this is the thing about the NBA

1810
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 3: playoffs we talked about earlier in the first hour, is

1811
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 3: that it's just a completely different basically game in the

1812
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 3: postseason because a everyone tends obviously healthy and everyone's playing

1813
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 3: each night. But because of that, you have situation where

1814
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 3: again you have these teams and we keep saying for

1815
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 3: half these teams like, well, they're all back together, Now,

1816
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 3: what are we gonna get from them? Because we didn't

1817
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 3: get in the regular season, whether it was load management,

1818
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 3: whether it was injuries, whether it was style of play.

1819
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 3: We didn't see that with the Lakers, with the Clippers,

1820
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 3: with the Suns, that wasn't kind of what they were

1821
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 3: this year. In the postseason, they're gonna be different. We

1822
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 3: saw last night Wigans play last night, right, like, these

1823
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 3: guys just the playoffs coming all of a sudden, We're

1824
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 3: we're good to go, which is great. I want all

1825
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 3: the superstars to play in the postseason. I want to

1826
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 3: watch these games either all the best players play, but

1827
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 3: that's what makes these playoffs. So you can imagine if

1828
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 3: we show up in the NFL playoffs and all of

1829
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:40,879
Speaker 3: a sudden, all these stars came back for the playoffs,

1830
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 3: you'd be the same way. Well, I don't want to

1831
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 3: get from these teams. This is part of the NBA playoffs,

1832
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:46,720
Speaker 3: is right now, Early in the playoffs you say, well,

1833
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what to get from the teams because

1834
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,599
Speaker 3: we haven't seen these guys play. And then it becomes

1835
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 3: an issue because again the injuries later in the postseason

1836
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 3: amen in three weeks, soone might get hurt and changed

1837
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 3: the entire outcome of a series.

1838
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 2: You're exactly right now. You mentioned that you can't trust

1839
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 2: the LA Clippers. I'm gonna go one step further and

1840
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 2: say you can't trust the Denver Nuggets. They're playing the

1841
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Timberwolves in the players today and they should roll over Minnesota.

1842
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 2: Minnesota's lucky they're even there. But this Denver team, to me,

1843
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 2: is overlooked. Many times there were a number one seed.

1844
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 2: No one even knows that. Really they're underappreciated, and they

1845
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,439
Speaker 2: basically were rolling all year long. They've been at top

1846
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 2: of the West since December. They had the best winning

1847
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:28,719
Speaker 2: percentage in the West against teams that were five hundred

1848
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 2: or better. But they get no respect and they really

1849
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:32,680
Speaker 2: haven't done anything when it goes to playoff time.

1850
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 3: Well, if they can't beat this this Timberwolves team, man

1851
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 3: not good, right, So your point like they gotta beat

1852
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 3: They should beat the Timberwolves.

1853
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:44,840
Speaker 2: They should beat them in four.

1854
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,040
Speaker 3: Yes, they should. But I think no one believes are

1855
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 3: going to win the West, right, and I think a

1856
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 3: lot of people, include myself. If the Lakers were the

1857
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 3: eighth seed, I think I would have put the Lakers

1858
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 3: to win that series over the Nuggets if that ended

1859
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 3: up being the playoff matchup that we ended up seeing.

1860
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 3: But we didn't get that, so we might end up

1861
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 3: getting Nuggets. This will be the first playoff series they've won.

1862
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:11,719
Speaker 3: Right with this current I can't believe they get no respect.

1863
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody picking Phoenix to win this the West

1864
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Conference at the number four seeds one.

1865
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 3: They've had no posting and success. You have to have

1866
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 3: some level of success typically to get respect heading into

1867
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 3: the postseason. A lot of us don't hand out you

1868
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 3: know our you know our praise to teams before they

1869
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 3: do it right. A lot of us wait until we've

1870
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:36,960
Speaker 3: seen a team do it before we say they can

1871
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 3: do it right.

1872
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 2: Three wins, but you got fifty three wins on the season,

1873
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,799
Speaker 2: rolling along all year long. Two time MVP and yolkis

1874
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 2: we've had.

1875
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 3: Straight years of really bad playoff losses.

1876
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you, but you know again, they get

1877
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 2: no respect, and as you mentioned, maybe they don't deserve

1878
01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 2: their respect. Maybe that's it. But still when it comes

1879
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,639
Speaker 2: to Minnesota, they're gonna beat Minnesota the eighth seed and

1880
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 2: they don't problems. I agree with you there so so

1881
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:11,680
Speaker 2: to you and to me, I'm thinking that Phoenix is

1882
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 2: coming out. I think Phoenix is the teams the guys

1883
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 2: are gonna come out of the Western Conference. Who do

1884
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 2: you pick?

1885
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,679
Speaker 3: That would be? That would be that would be my pick.

1886
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 3: If everyone's healthy, that would be my pick would be Phoenix.

1887
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 3: That they're they're they're the best collection of players. Their

1888
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:29,519
Speaker 3: depth is a concern, but you know, you know, you

1889
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 3: don't play back to backs in the playoffs, Like the

1890
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 3: depth is not a big of a concern when you

1891
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 3: don't play back to backs. But if everyone stays healthy,

1892
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 3: they're they're they're the play I think out of the West,

1893
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 3: it's it's Phoenix. Uh, I get it. I wouldn't. I

1894
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 3: just I would not count out Lebron James healthy Lakers team.

1895
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 3: They struggle a little bit of offense. I get that.

1896
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:59,799
Speaker 3: You know, Russell has not been great against the Grizzlies,

1897
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:02,640
Speaker 3: as have been great at times in the postseason, has

1898
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 3: not had much success there. But I just wouldn't. I would.

1899
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 3: I would not bet against Lebron. It's bad business to

1900
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 3: bet against Lebron. You know what I mean. Like, it's

1901
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 3: it's just bad. It's bad business to do that, and

1902
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 3: I would, I wouldn't do it. I think again, the Suns,

1903
01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 3: everyone healthy, really good, should be the better team, should

1904
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 3: end up winning the West. But again I don't. I

1905
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 3: don't bet against Lebron.

1906
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 7: No.

1907
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 2: Now, the good news is there's not gonna be any

1908
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,240
Speaker 2: load management in the playoffs that we know. But I

1909
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 2: will say this, Lebron got a break here because looking

1910
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:47,519
Speaker 2: at the schedule the Lakers do play today, we know

1911
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 2: that they're playing Memphis today, they don't play again until Wednesday.

1912
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 2: That's great for Lebron.

1913
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 3: I don't really like, I don't get that. I don't

1914
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 3: get the scheduling, but I'm on charge of scheduling.

1915
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they couldn't get the arena. I don't know the

1916
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 2: deal is TV arena. Who knows what it is?

1917
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,760
Speaker 3: A bunch of events in Memphis happening next couple of

1918
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 3: days that we don't know about flea market. Maybe I

1919
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 3: don't know those actially happened on the weekends. I think no,

1920
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 3: I mean probably probably and probably scheduling, right, I mean

1921
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 3: they want to they probably want to get that that

1922
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 3: game three in Los Angeles on the weekend, right, Yeah,

1923
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,759
Speaker 3: that's probably on Saturday. That might be more. The concern

1924
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 3: is that you want you want, like you know, there's

1925
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 3: a Dodger game or something they want to try to

1926
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 3: avoid having in downtown l A at the same time

1927
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 3: next weekend. So yeah, that's I mean, look, the more

1928
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 3: rests are Lakers is the better, right, I mean, anytime you.

1929
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,839
Speaker 2: Can get great more rest.

1930
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 3: Lebron and Anthony Davis, the more advantage you give to

1931
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 3: Los Angeles.

1932
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,000

1943
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 2: We got the blame game at the end of this hour.

1944
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 2: But right now one team seems to have a problem

1945
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 2: with their star. That's next. His time go with management.

1946

Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just about a minute, about

1947

Speaker 2: twenty two minutes past the hour. This is Fox Sports

1948
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,760
Speaker 2: Sunday on Fox Sports Ready, and of course we're live

1949
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 2: from the tai Iraq dot com studios. He's Jeff Schwartz.

1950
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean Andy Furman. You know, for years I would

1951
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 2: attack attack players. I think a lot of fans do this, Jeff.

1952
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,599
Speaker 2: You know, we took about money and contract holding out

1953
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 2: and things like that. It was always a fan say ah,

1954
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 2: you make too much money. So you know, it was

1955
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,160
Speaker 2: always that way. He's always ugly and this time, I

1956
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 2: think I kind of mellowed. If I'm a player, I

1957
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 2: want to get as much as I can, as much

1958
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 2: as I can right now, because you don't know how

1959
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 2: the window of opportunity is not going to be there

1960
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 2: too long. You know, they say running backs, well three

1961
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 2: and a half four years, that's about it. So make

1962
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 2: as much as you can when you can. And I

1963
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 2: talk about the Giants, they were running back sa Quon

1964
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 2: Barkley said he doesn't want to sign his franchise tender

1965
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 2: before Tomorrow Monday. Last year, he played a full season

1966
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 2: for the first time since his rookie year that was

1967
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 2: back in eighteen. And I got to believe running backs

1968
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,120
Speaker 2: are somewhat easy to find in this league, which is

1969
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 2: basically a passing league. So I'll say I go with management,

1970
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 2: you know, stack stick with it. I love sa Quon.

1971
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 2: I think it was a big part of the offense,

1972
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 2: but you know, really and truly, I just don't think

1973
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 2: it's worth it. I really don't. I mean, he's injury prone,

1974
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 2: and speaking of injuries, he's got him, he had him.

1975
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 2: I mean last year, I was surprised he did as

1976
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 2: well as he did.

1977
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 3: Look, you absolutely should not pay running back a second contract.

1978
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 3: A one year franchise tag number is very manageable, and

1979
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 3: I think the Giants did the absolute right thing here

1980
01:37:55,320 --> 01:38:02,280
Speaker 3: and pay him this contract. And I understand his you know,

1981
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:05,519
Speaker 3: his apprehension assigned the franchise tag, which is his right.

1982
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:07,759
Speaker 3: He doesn't have to do it till now until actually

1983
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 3: really until any time until still season starts. I imagine

1984
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 3: he's still trying to negotiate a long term contract because

1985
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 3: you have the capability to do that until I believe

1986
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 3: mid July under the franchise tag. Yeah, I mean, it

1987
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 3: makes sense why he'd wait. I mean, but the Giants

1988
01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 3: should absolutely not give him. There is no evidence at

1989
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 3: all that giving a running back a second contract makes

1990
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 3: any financial sense, any team building sense, none of it nothing,

1991
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 3: because it doesn't. You can find a running back any

1992
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 3: round of the draft. So look, I'm off it's a

1993
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:55,759
Speaker 3: live man. I love running backs, they have made my career.

1994
01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 3: But there's absolutely no point in paying a running back

1995
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 3: at second contract. The Giants can find a running back

1996
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 3: in the fourth round of this draft, they can give

1997
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 3: them equal production towards Saquon can do.

1998
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 2: So we agree on this, I mean we we absolutely yes, right,

1999
01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 2: And that's why I say, I living in the Cincinnati market,

2000
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon's in trouble. I don't think the Bengals are

2001
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 2: gonna come back. He was making twelve mil. You're not

2002
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 2: gonna You're not gonna pay a guy twelve million dollars.

2003
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 2: And I think the tires have kind of gotten a

2004
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,679
Speaker 2: little bald on Joe Mixon. That happens to running backs.

2005
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think the Bengals thought thought p Ryan

2006
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,639
Speaker 3: would come back, and him not coming back, I think

2007
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if it changes their plans that much,

2008
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 3: but I do feel like they it kind of does.

2009
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 3: They They thought they might be in a different situation

2010
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 3: than they are. But you know again, I wouldn't. You

2011
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 3: can't do it. You just can't. You can't pay them

2012
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 3: second contracts the Panthers last year. I'm in Carolina, I'm

2013
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 3: in Charlotte. I looked at Christian McCaffrey's numbers, but I

2014
01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 3: think heading into last season, all his better games where

2015
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 3: the games, all the there's lost, like all his receiving numbers,

2016
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 3: and then as soon as he was traded, the Panthers

2017
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 3: running game got better without last year, now, obviously his

2018
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 3: values of nine RS was was like he was great

2019
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 3: for the Iris last season, but like the Panthers were

2020
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 3: fine without him, like they didn't. They don't like you

2021
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 3: stn't You don't. You don't need to pay the running

2022
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 3: back that much money.

2023
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 2: Man, you don't, No, but you you hit on some

2024
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 2: other ways. I did see that last year. Their their

2025
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:30,599
Speaker 2: average yards rushing yards went up when he left. Yes,

2026
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 2: why why was that?

2027
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 3: Because it's it's a lot of it's just offensive line driven.

2028
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 3: It's scheme driven. It's not driven by individual running backs.

2029
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,679
Speaker 2: So there was the defense was just keing on him

2030
01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 2: so much. It didn't get a lot of yards from

2031
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 2: out of him.

2032
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 3: I guess, man, I just think that again, it's it's

2033
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 3: about offensive line push, it's about plus I think too,

2034
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 3: when you have a running back like that, sometimes I

2035
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 3: think you feel like you want to force feed him

2036
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 3: and you might not give him. You might give him

2037
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 3: the ball and you know, in bad looks, in times

2038
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 3: that aren't the best for the running back. And then

2039
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 3: when you don't have Christian McCaffrey there or anyone like that,

2040
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 3: I think you you give him. You know, you kind

2041
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 3: of just run the ball. In better situations, you don't.

2042
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:19,120
Speaker 3: You don't feel like you have to force feed him,

2043
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 3: so you get better situations to run the ball, and

2044
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 3: that plays a role in kind of necessity of a

2045
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 3: run game as well.

2046
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 2: Interesting, now we talk about the running back situation. You

2047
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 2: get a running back in the draft. I think there

2048
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 2: were a diamond dozen. It's not a running league anymore.

2049
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,640
Speaker 2: But the NFL and the nfl PA they approved the

2050
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 2: helmet designed to reduce quarterback concussions. My question is this

2051
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 2: the only quarterbacks? Other players could get concussions too. I

2052
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 2: don't get it.

2053
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,800
Speaker 3: I didn't see I didn't see this helmet. Other players

2054
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 3: don't want to wear it. I don't know. Maybe it's

2055
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 3: designed to only with with kind of withstand one type

2056
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:58,000
Speaker 3: of contact. The the inter part, by the way, you

2057
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 3: mentioned draft and running backs is Bjon Robinson, the running

2058
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 3: back out of Texas, right, you know, Because so there's

2059
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 3: two things with the draft guys that you'll you'll kind

2060
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,240
Speaker 3: of see as we go along. There is something called

2061
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 3: the kind of a big board, right, which is sort

2062
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 3: of it's how it's how people just grade the prospects,

2063
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:21,080
Speaker 3: just grade them. Right. So let's say you have a

2064
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 3: scale of one to ten, ten being the best, and

2065
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 3: you just you watch a prospect and give him a

2066
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 3: grade Bijon Robinson, the Texans running back most people have

2067
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:34,000
Speaker 3: as a top five player in the draft. Again, like

2068
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 3: we're just grading the players. I gave him a nine

2069
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 3: point seven grade. Okay, he is a top five player.

2070
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 3: Then you have a mock draft where Bjon Robinson might

2071
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 3: go seventeenth. Okay, your mock draft doesn't always follow your

2072
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 3: big board for a variety of reasons. One is you

2073
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:54,720
Speaker 3: know team needs positional value trades things like that. So

2074
01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 3: he's interesting because I can make it. I can make

2075
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 3: a good argument in both directions a do not take

2076
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 3: a running back in the first round. You shouldn't and

2077
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 3: be like, Okay, I can see you doing doing that

2078
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 3: for some teams. But I again, like this is Joash

2079
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 3: where he's kind of gonna be a really good test

2080
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 3: because he's that good of a player that he might

2081
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 3: be good enough to sort of break the mold when

2082
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 3: it comes to taking a first round running back because

2083
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 3: of his ability to make plays in the run game

2084
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 3: running back.

2085
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 2: He was Yeah, but shean whiched in between two quarterbacks

2086
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 2: I remember at the time.

2087
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the Giants probably weren't good enough to take him,

2088
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 3: Like you have to be a team like people suggest

2089
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 3: that the Eagles, you know, which I doubt they do so.

2090
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 3: But if you're a good team that sort of can

2091
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 3: luxury pick a running back and maybe you do so.

2092
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 3: So Yeah, I'm kind of curious where where he goes

2093
01:43:58,320 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 3: to the draft to be kind of interesting to see.

2094
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Bengals would love to get him,

2095
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:04,599
Speaker 2: but I don't think it would last that long. That's

2096
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 2: the problem.

2097
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 3: No, the Bengals need a tight end.

2098
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 2: And I will say this, there are teams that would

2099
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:13,000
Speaker 2: draft the player a for need, of course, but be

2100
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:15,920
Speaker 2: food to prevent I would think another team from getting

2101
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:17,480
Speaker 2: that player. Isn't that possible?

2102
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 3: Uh No, I don't think you draft. You don't draft

2103
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:28,400
Speaker 3: to block someone else. No, you draft for yourself. Okay,

2104
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 3: but you know you might move up to draft someone

2105
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 3: that you think someone else might draft that you want, right,

2106
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 3: But you don't draft players to block someone off else

2107
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 3: from drafting them.

2108
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I got it. But well, I mean, yeah, you do.

2109
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 2: I think that the primary thing is you draft for need,

2110
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 2: because I think that if if Baldemom makes a trade

2111
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 2: to Indianapolis, they're gonna draft the quarterback they'll need one.

2112
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 3: Well, yes, and no like you okay, So let's not

2113
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 3: by the drug. There's two there's two things, right, it's

2114
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:02,840
Speaker 3: best part available. You'll you'll you'll, you'll hear the term

2115
01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 3: best player available BP A right, best player available bp

2116
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 3: A right, and then team need. Okay, sometimes they they

2117
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 3: they collide, right, they collide together. Where panthers, we need

2118
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 3: a quarterback, The best player available on our board is

2119
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:24,880
Speaker 3: also a quarterback, all right, Right? You know, in the

2120
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 3: first round, I think you take your biggest team need

2121
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 3: and the best player available at that position, right, But

2122
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 3: you can't reach for that guy as well, though, And

2123
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 3: then when you then you get in the later rounds,

2124
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 3: you just take best player on the board, like you

2125
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 3: just like if you have if you're in the yeah,

2126
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 3: if you're if you're in a third round. Let's say

2127
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 3: you're you're picking pick one hundred. You're the end of

2128
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 3: the third round, and you have a player on your board,

2129
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 3: and you have great as the fiftieth best player and

2130
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 3: they're still on your board, and it's a position that

2131
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 3: you know, you don't really think you need. You draft them.

2132
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 3: That's fifty You you draft a player fifty slots below

2133
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:15,439
Speaker 3: where you thought they should be drafted. That's a pretty

2134
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 3: big questioned.

2135
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 2: You're right, but in your mind you question, why wasn't

2136
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 2: he drafted? Right?

2137
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:23,519
Speaker 3: Well, that's at a good question. But if you've done

2138
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 3: your homework as a team, which you have, You've spent

2139
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 3: months doing your research on every player. You have talked to,

2140
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:37,920
Speaker 3: You've talked to you know players coaches, you've talked to

2141
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:42,839
Speaker 3: players themselves, You've done the background checks, you've done everything

2142
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 3: you know all about these players. So if a player drops,

2143
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 3: you probably know why he's dropping, and you feel comfortable

2144
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 3: taking that player in that position. That's our BPA. Best

2145
01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 3: player available, I think really plays a because there's times

2146
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 3: when you see and teams often do in the first

2147
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 3: round of times two we're best player available and you're like, wait,

2148
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 3: why they take that player? They already they don't really

2149
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,599
Speaker 3: it's not really a position of need for them. But

2150
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 3: the but again, like the player is whether whether they're

2151
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,960
Speaker 3: drafting the values very it's very good for them because

2152
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:20,840
Speaker 3: their draft board tells them, tells them that. That's why

2153
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 3: they spend Guys, these teams spend months and months and

2154
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 3: months putting together these draft boards and they rank all

2155
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 3: the players by position, by overall draft grade, and that's

2156
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:34,800
Speaker 3: how they draft. They draft off of board they have

2157
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 3: put together for months and months and months.

2158
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue with that. He's Jeff Schwartz, I

Speaker 6: on May twenty ninth, nineteen hundred and fifteen. And what

2196
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 6: was extra notable was the pitcher that he did it against,

2197
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 6: Babe Ruth.

2198
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:45,840

01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 6: Only only this is at Shyde Park or the Baker Bowl.

2201
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:54,479

01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,680
Speaker 2: as Isaac was talking about baseball, let's continue that for

2211
01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:23,719
Speaker 2: a second. Was Major League Baseball has shortened their game

2212
01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 2: with new rules, you know, in the sense that the

2213
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 2: game is rather than a four hour deal, maybe two

2214
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 2: and a half hours ago. Your thoughts on that, I

2215
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:33,519
Speaker 2: mean to me, it's no big wolf. You like it?

2216
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 2: You really do love it?

2217
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's great. I watched a lot of

2218
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 3: baseball and even my even my like my kid is

2219
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:44,439
Speaker 3: like our baseball games are shorter now. My eight and

2220
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 3: a half year old my son. I'm like, yeah, he's like, oh,

2221
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,839
Speaker 3: like even like he's like interested in it now because baseball.

2222
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 3: He loves me in baseball, but it's like it's like

2223
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 3: boring to him, like he wants to he wants to

2224
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:57,200
Speaker 3: be faster, quicker.

2225
01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:01,240
Speaker 2: It's great, you know, in the fact, I mean, baseball

2226
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 2: were the beautiful fact of the game of baseball. It

2227
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:06,680
Speaker 2: was always timeless. But what killed the game of baseball

2228
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 2: is when these guys stepping out of the batters box

2229
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:11,600
Speaker 2: fixing their batting clubs doing it. And now they fixed it,

2230
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 2: and it's great. I'm with you. I enjoyed it.

2231
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 3: I really do. I also think, at least the games

2232
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:20,800
Speaker 3: I've watched, I think the the not allowing that the

2233
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 3: shift has helped, Like there's more hits, the bigger bases,

2234
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 3: we have more stolen bases. Like I think that stuff matters.

2235
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:28,639
Speaker 3: It's little little things, but he keeps the game moving.

2236
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I really do. It's funny because they

2237
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 2: outlawed the shift, but years ago the zone defense was

2238
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:37,799
Speaker 2: illegal in the NBA, and now they all play zone,

2239
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:39,519
Speaker 2: so I don't get it. But they don't play much

2240
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 2: defense anyway until the playoffs, so there's no big whoop there.

2241
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:44,400
Speaker 2: But money's always the issue. We talk about that all

2242
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:46,760
Speaker 2: the time. So major League Baseball, or at least some

2243
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 2: teams a Major League Baseball, they've amended their alcohol sale

2244
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 2: policies and response to shorter game times this year. But

2245
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 2: the pitcher on the Phillies, Matt Stram, he disagrees with

2246
01:51:56,920 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 2: extending alcohol sales. He said that you're putting a risk

2247
01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 2: of our fans and family driving home with people who

2248
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:05,799
Speaker 2: just drank twenty two beers a couple of minutes ago. Really,

2249
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:08,679
Speaker 2: and maybe he's gone to something there, but for years,

2250
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:11,160
Speaker 2: that was the deal. You could drink a beer in

2251
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 2: any game until the ninth inning, or even into extra

2252
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:15,799
Speaker 2: names if they had so. Now all of a sudden,

2253
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 2: it's changed. And I remember going into locker rooms and

2254
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:22,639
Speaker 2: clubhouses after ballgames and that coolers there, and the guys

2255
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 2: would be sitting in front of their locker having a

2256
01:52:24,479 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 2: couple of beers.

2257
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 3: Things have changed, well, things have certainly changed. Yeah, the

2258
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:32,840
Speaker 3: policy I believe was no, they usould not sell beer

2259
01:52:32,920 --> 01:52:38,000
Speaker 3: after seven right, and now because the games are faster,

2260
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 3: they moved into the eighth and a, which seems odd

2261
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 3: because the point of it was to not, you know,

2262
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 3: to try to you know, mitigate DUIs of fans leaving

2263
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 3: the stadium. So but selling beer for shorter it should

2264
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 3: be like the sixth inning, right, you should go the

2265
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:58,640
Speaker 3: other direction, you should go, should right right? And you

2266
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:01,640
Speaker 3: mentioned beer in the club house that has stopped for

2267
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:02,840
Speaker 3: the most part, I believe right.

2268
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 2: Did they in the locker in the clubhouse in the

2269
01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:06,719
Speaker 2: NFL as well lifted games?

2270
01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:09,599
Speaker 3: No? Never, they never had. I mean, okay, but it's

2271
01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 3: a different situation. Okay. The the MLB clubhouse is is

2272
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 3: like a home away from home. It's a it's a

2273
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:24,160
Speaker 3: place where players spent hours and hours and hours half

2274
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 3: more than half of NFL stadiums, the locker room is

2275
01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 3: just used on game day, like you just show up

2276
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 3: and use the locker room and go home. Only one

2277
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:37,360
Speaker 3: of the teams I played on the home locker room

2278
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:40,759
Speaker 3: on game day was our regular locker room with the Panthers,

2279
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 3: and we didn't have a practice facility. We practiced at

2280
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:45,640
Speaker 3: the stadium. So for the Chiefs, the Vikings, and the Giants,

2281
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,920
Speaker 3: our home locker room for games was just a locker room,

2282
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 3: like we just showed up and played and played and left.

2283
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:56,040
Speaker 3: So that like you just you just play and leave.

2284
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 3: In the NFL, you don't stay and hang out. You

2285
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:03,120
Speaker 3: don't drink a beer. So no, we would leave, just

2286
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 3: just shower, you talk to media, and you immediately leave.

2287
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:11,719
Speaker 3: And there's no there's food, there's food outside afterwards. There's

2288
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:13,880
Speaker 3: no beer, no alcohol, all right.

2289
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz, Andy Ferman, this is Fox Sports Sunday, and

2290

Speaker 1: He fires, he misses.

2299
01:54:43,080 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 9: Barns with the radou and Sacramento has one game number one.

2300
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 9: After seventeen years without a playoff experience, they have.

2301
01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 2: Risen three occasions. The King's over Golden State yesterday, game

01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:23,960
Speaker 2: is Patrick to handle the blame game. You ruin me.

2310
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:27,920
Speaker 1: It's all your fault. No, it's your fault, it's all

2311
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:36,040
Speaker 1: your fault. Maybe it's everyone's faults. A liar, that's why

2312
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:39,440
Speaker 1: there's the blame game game. Let's figure out who to blame.

2313
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 7: All right, Andy and Jeff, it is now time for

2314
01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:46,440
Speaker 7: the blame game. And why don't we start us off

2315
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:50,240
Speaker 7: hot right now with the Cardinals and Buddha Baker because

2316
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:53,760
Speaker 7: Buddha Baker requested a trade from his team. Now I

2317
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 7: ask you Andy, and I ask you Jeff, who is

2318
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 7: to blame for why he has such discourse with the Cardinals?

2319
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 3: Leg first part of the Cardinals. Everyone seems to not

2320
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 3: like the Cardinals. I don't know, I mean they're the

2321
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,000
Speaker 3: minority owners. Don't seem like the Cardinals who they called

2322
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 3: out the owner for text messaging right like the GM

2323
01:56:13,200 --> 01:56:18,160
Speaker 3: while he was suspended. The Cardinals just seemed the Cardinals

2324
01:56:18,160 --> 01:56:21,640
Speaker 3: seem like the Commanders of the West Coast. Obviously, the

2325
01:56:21,640 --> 01:56:24,440
Speaker 3: commanders just got sold, so maybe no longer applies, but

2326
01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:26,520
Speaker 3: there just seems to be a lot of stories about

2327
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 3: how poorly they're run. And I think the players, obviously,

2328
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:31,160
Speaker 3: you know you're you're free to ask for trades, doesn't

2329
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 3: mean that you're gonna get them. And I think players

2330
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:36,480
Speaker 3: oftentimes need to stop being so sensitive about the team

2331
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 3: saying no, we're not trading you. But I think in

2332
01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 3: this situation, if you're asking me, who's always to blame

2333
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:43,920
Speaker 3: between the Cardinals and anyone else, is always the Cardinals.

2334
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:44,560
Speaker 3: In my opinion.

2335
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm not blaming the Cardinals on this one.

2336
01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna blame the ball player because you know what,

2337
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 2: suck it up, you're making big money. Relax and adapt

2338
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:56,160
Speaker 2: to where you're going, all right, try to fit in.

2339
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand that team is in disarray and

2340
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,400
Speaker 2: it's a mess, but you know what, that's the front office.

2341
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 2: That's the front ophics. You still have to play the game.

2342
01:57:04,120 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 2: Suit it up and play the game. Come on, stop

2343
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 2: it ready. Stop stop being a baby, That's all I.

2344
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 3: Have to say.

2345
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 7: All right, all right, both very valid options and both

2346
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 7: very valid dakes. But you know what, when it comes

2347
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:19,600
Speaker 7: down to who did I vote had the better take?

2348
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 8: You know what, Jeff Schwartz, come on down.

2349
01:57:23,920 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 2: Inidated by Jeff Schwartz. That's why I get it. I understand.

2350
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:32,400
Speaker 7: Maybe maybe not, we don't know either way. We're going

2351
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 7: on to the next question, and we have the Packers

2352
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:38,720
Speaker 7: and they are reportedly still stuck on wanting a first

2353
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:41,440
Speaker 7: round pick for the whole Rogers trade, and you know

2354
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 7: it's still not moving around.

2355
01:57:42,960 --> 01:57:44,880
Speaker 8: Jets are unrelenting as of right now. Though.

2356
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 7: So let me ask you guys this, who's really to

2357
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:51,160
Speaker 7: blame for why this trade is still stalling out right now?

2358
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:53,920
Speaker 2: Well, obviously it's the Jets, because if they give up

2359
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 2: the picks that they're asking for the Packers are asking for,

2360
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:58,480
Speaker 2: that the trade would go on. But you know, I

2361
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 2: guess you you have to blame the Jets. I blame

2362
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 2: the Jets because they're the one that's stolen it. The

2363
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,200
Speaker 2: Packers know what they want and look, they want to

2364
01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:08,680
Speaker 2: move on from Aaron Rodgers regardless if there's a trade

2365
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:10,680
Speaker 2: or not. So I think you'd have to put all

2366
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 2: the blame on the Jets. You know, Woody Johnson, do

2367
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:15,360
Speaker 2: me a favor your fan base wants. If you don't

2368
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 2: want Zach Wilson, do the deal, give him the draft picks,

2369
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:20,840
Speaker 2: make sure that he's there for two years, and away

2370
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:21,240
Speaker 2: we go.

2371
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the Jets. I mean, they're the ones who

2372
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 3: who failed with the Zach Wilson draft pick, and they're

2373
01:58:29,040 --> 01:58:32,240
Speaker 3: the ones who obviously desperately need Aaron Rodgers thing to

2374
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 3: work out. So it's it's the Jets.

2375
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 8: All right.

2376
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:37,320
Speaker 7: So both of you take, both of your takes, are

2377
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:39,840
Speaker 7: both on the Jets. So you both get each your

2378
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:41,720
Speaker 7: point because I agree with both of you on that,

2379
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:45,000
Speaker 7: and it's really the same take. By what Andy gets

2380
01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 7: like a point point like two because he had extra

2381
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 7: pizazz with Woody Johnson on.

2382
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:54,520
Speaker 2: The didn't make any sense, but his pizazz.

2383
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:55,360
Speaker 8: I like extra points. All right.

2384
01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 7: Let's go with some basketball. Hawk's point guard Trey Young

2385
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 7: has been frustrated all season, as we know, with his

2386
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 7: head coach and just with his team. Now there's been

2387
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:08,600
Speaker 7: a rumor of just recently that he may possibly be

2388
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:12,120
Speaker 7: on the trade block this offseason. Now, I got to

2389
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 7: ask you now that they have a new head coach

2390
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 7: and all that stuff, and because they fired the other guy,

2391
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:18,520
Speaker 7: who is really to blame for the discourse of this

2392
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 7: team and why Tree Young's so mad?

2393
01:59:20,840 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 3: Did they just hire the new coach of the season though,

2394
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 3: like in the middle of the season they did? They did,

2395
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 3: so how can you blame the new head coach and

2396
01:59:27,440 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 3: he has even had a full off season, like implement

2397
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:32,360
Speaker 3: is his system and get to know the players and everything.

2398
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:36,280
Speaker 3: He can't be the coach's fault. The coaching literally just hired.

2399
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm not.

2400
01:59:38,840 --> 01:59:41,840
Speaker 3: I think the blame is the organization, Like it's not

2401
01:59:41,880 --> 01:59:45,080
Speaker 3: either Young or the new coach Quinn Snyder, right, the

2402
01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 3: former Utah coach. I think the ownership. I think it's

2403
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 3: it's it's the franchise Andy, Like, you can't blame Young

2404
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:55,680
Speaker 3: or the coach. I haven't had time to work together yet.

2405
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 3: They haven't a full they haven't had a full offseason

2406
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:00,240
Speaker 3: to get to know each other, to implement a new

2407
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:03,080
Speaker 3: game plan and new philosophy that works for both of them.

2408
02:00:03,440 --> 02:00:06,160
Speaker 3: So I think it's it's it's ownership for bringing in

2409
02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:07,760
Speaker 3: a new head coach like this in the middle of

2410
02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:08,160
Speaker 3: the season.

2411
02:00:08,800 --> 02:00:10,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm putting my finger right on the

2412
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 2: chest of Trey Young. Trey Young getting that, get the

2413
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:16,680
Speaker 2: hell on the gym and stop practicing because you're shooting

2414
02:00:16,680 --> 02:00:18,960
Speaker 2: as horrendous. It's terrible. I don't know what's happened to

2415
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 2: you over the last couple of weeks, but even yesterday

2416
02:00:21,600 --> 02:00:23,960
Speaker 2: in the game against the Celtics, you shot something for

2417
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:27,520
Speaker 2: like five to eighteen. You're better than that. I don't

2418
02:00:27,520 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 2: get it. Stop worrying about the outside influences. It's on you.

2419
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:33,480
Speaker 2: And I want to know why Isaac Lowankrown's not voting

2420
02:00:33,480 --> 02:00:36,120
Speaker 2: for this either. I was gonna vote for Andy.

2421
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,400
Speaker 6: Actually there, I would have given it to Jeff if

2422
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 6: he would have referred to the Hawks as the Washington

2423
02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:41,920
Speaker 6: Commanders of the Southeast.

2424
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:46,440
Speaker 3: Oh man, I was close, did it? I did commander's

2425
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 3: reference today.

2426
02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:49,720
