00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,080

93
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: That's what we were so weak. I love that, so

94
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: we did that.

95
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: If you're ever in the South bayir Manhattan Beach of

96
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: a place called the Kettle that's opened up twenty four

97
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: to seven, that was like, cause my husband and I

98
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: have known each other since middle school, so we used

99
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: to do that like in high school, like late nights at.

100
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: The Kettle playing.

101
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Oh like, no, no, I'm just saying, this is gonna

102
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,159

00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,440

105
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: which we're so excited.

106
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 3: Okay, you guys, let's get to NBA All Star Weekend

107
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: because the stars are in town. It's in Inglewood for

108
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 3: the first time ever at the new Into It Dome,

109
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: and like, celebrations kind of started last night with the

110
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: Rising Star Game, the Celebrity Game, but the community has

111
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: been celebrating all week. I was covering a Celebrity game

112
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: earlier this week. There have been panels like it is

113
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: people are ready for this and it's so much fun.

114
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: But tonight the big event, the slam Dunk contest. It's hard. Okay,

115
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: like we're gonna get a new Slam Dunk King for

116
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: the first time because who is at mac McClung, who

117
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: won the last three in a row, isn't participating this year.

118
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: But I mean this is a guy who was primarily

119
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: a G League player who they brought up for the

120
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: dunk contest, which brings me to my point about the

121
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: dunk contest here. It's not it's not anywhere close to

122
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: what it used to be in terms of like excitement

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: and a spectacle. And like, in my mind, like the

124
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: last big moment that really stands out is probably Blake

125
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: Griffin when he's flying over the car like doing that dunk,

126
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: but like when was that twenty eleven?

127
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: I think it was.

128
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: But like, we're not gonna be where the Jordans were

129
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: in like eighty seven and eighty eight, Kobe winning it

130
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: in ninety seven, shout out, I'm wearing a shirt right now.

131
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: Lebron James has never participated like that. You're not getting

132
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: the A list superstar players participating, and I don't think

133
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: it's ever going to be as big as it was

134
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: unless that happens.

135
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: And one hundred percent agree with you.

136
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 4: Because one, we have social media now, and so you

137
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: have these dunk guys that aren't even in the NBA

138
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: that can go out and come up with these amazing

139
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: dunks that they put on YouTube and guess what they get.

140
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: To edit out their misses.

141
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: They only have to post that's true, the dunk that

142
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: they get the highlight reel exactly. And so the problem

143
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: is one with social media already, we've already seen every

144
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: dunk possible, Like how many more cars or people are like,

145
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: there's it's so hard to come up with something.

146
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: The creativity of it all. Yes, And number two, these.

147
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: Players, especially the stars, why are they gonna go risk

148
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: it and miss and then be a meme forever? Like

149
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: I think One it's the injury, Like are you afraid

150
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 4: to get hurt? When you're playing for so much money

151
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 4: and it's February, You're trying to win a championship in

152
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 4: months to come?

153
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: Why are you gonna risk it? Two?

154
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 4: Why are you gonna potentially embarrass yourself? I think if

155
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: there was a situation like YouTube where you could edit

156
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: out the missus cool, Yeah, maybe make it pre produced.

157
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: It wasn't live, but just like sit down and have

158
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: like a theater like projected like this was this was

159
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: my dunk that I did.

160
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: It's really bad, right not. I mean, come on, it's

161
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: not entertaining until we see a Lebron James.

162
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: Like you mentioned, he's never done it. That's for a reason,

163
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: like he doesn't want to embarrass himself. Number two, he

164
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: doesn't want to get hurt.

165
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: It stinks though I want it, Like, yeah, it used

166
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: to be the same. It used to be the highlight

167
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: of the week.

168
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: It was like way more than the actual game was

169
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: a dunk contest.

170
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: That's why I think why it's on Saturday night.

171
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's just sad. We'll see, We'll see if

172
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: any of these guys, Uh, we got Carter Bryant, Jackson Hayes,

173
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Keisha Johnson, Jason Richardson, a son of two times slam

174
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: dunk champ Jason Richardson, so like maybe we'll have a

175
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: father son duo.

176
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: But like, just these aren't being that those names Like yeah, no,

177
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: it's nothing like I.

178
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: Said, they're not that. You're not getting the A list names. Yeah,

179
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: showing up Like where's Zion, where's he been at? Well,

180
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: he's you know, yeah, yeah, I know his career. I

181
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: mean that's a sad. That's a conversation.

182
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: You know what.

183
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: You know, what would be maybe interesting if instead of

184
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: the dunk contest, we did like a three on three

185
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: game where the only way you could score is if

186
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: you dunked.

187
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: Oh so a dunk game, a dunk game. Don't into

188
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: that sponsored by dunkin Donuts. This is why they need

189
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: to hire us. I mean, it's the dunkin game.

190
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: Oh don't dunking game.

191
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: And maybe you can even throw in a trampoline, like

192
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: if instead of like gyms, a foul shot, okay, free

193
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: throw instead of a free throw, you I don't know,

194
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: can set up the trampoline.

195
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: And try to do a flip for three points.

196
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: See that's that's how someone's getting hurt. All right, that's some.

197
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: Think we could evolve bet something.

198
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: There needs to be something, I mean, which then leads

199
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: us into the All Star Game on Sunday, which we

200
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: have a new format which desperately needed to happen. Honestly,

201
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: anything is going to be better than the last few years.

202
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: I think they saw what the NHL did had huge success,

203
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: that was the four Nations. But that's a Again, this

204
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: is different because that's a it's a week, almost a

205
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: week long tournament that they have, and it became a

206
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: country tournament, and we saw some of the most heated

207
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: rivalries between USA and Canada, and it was the most

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: exciting All Star we a lot of people we experienced, Yeah,

209
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: in a long time. So NBA is trying to mimic

210
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: this a little uh if you if you're not unaware,

211
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a little breakdown of it. It's

212
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: a round robin mini tournament with four to twelve minute games.

213
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: There are there's okay, so there's three teams. There's two

214
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: USA teams. Let me pull it up here. You have

215
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: the USA Stars and USA stripes, and then you have

216
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: the World team, which is all the international players. So

217
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: they're trying to get it like USA versus the World.

218
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: I just again, I don't know.

219
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: How not gonna work.

220
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just hard because again it's this is happening

221
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: in such a short amount of time. I think the

222
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: NHL Four Nations worked because it was a week long

223
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: tournament and you were like, there was so much pride

224
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: for your country, like as you see in the Olympics

225
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: or any sort of like World Cup style game when

226
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 3: it's like for your country there's a different vibe to it.

227
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: This is just I don't know, entire is a big

228
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: cash prize.

229
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: I mean what the winners each walk away with one

230
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, which for these guys.

231
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: Is like two dollars.

232
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, until there is a big cast prize, it's not

233
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 4: going to work. It's kind of like the Pro Bowl.

234
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: Players don't want to play because well, the Pro Bowl

235
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: is different because it's the end of the season.

236
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe you'll get them to do a little

237
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: bit more. These guys flag football now right, yes, and this.

238
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: Is in the middle of an eighty two game season. Yeah, okay,

239
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: these players just want to go on vacation. They need

240
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: here because they been voted and it's an honor to

241
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: get that recognition, but nobody wants to play. And that's

242
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: why you don't see any defense. It's all, you know,

243
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: three pointers from half court.

244
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. They need to come up with more motivation. Kind

245
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: of like the NBA cut.

246
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: We see that has started to get players more involved

247
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: in because the problems season turned well, they need it.

248
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: They needed to get ratings up during the season, so

249
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: that was supposed to help with like beginning middle of

250
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: the season. Let's get some NBA ratings up because it

251
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 3: was struggling and because there's.

252
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: Eighty two games and nobody plays no all eighty two.

253
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: As we're saying, the intensity, the competitive incentive needs to

254
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 4: be solved. I don't think that's a matter of format. Sure, yeah,

255
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: is interesting and maybe it'll grab the attention because it's

256
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: something new, But for the players, unless you're offering ten

257
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: mil no, yeah, unless there's.

258
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: Like a mid table, no one's going to blink no.

259
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: Like each Okay, so each player on the winning team

260
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: walks away with one hundred and twenty five thousand second

261
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: play seen, each player gets fifty thousand, and third place

262
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: team each player gets twenty five thousand. They get fined

263
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: that much for like.

264
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: Not wearing a chadia. Yeah, like it's.

265
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 4: They need to come up with something better. I don't

266
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: know what it is, but you have to have a

267
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: reason to compete and.

268
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: To want to compete. I mean, like again, there isn't.

269
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: All Star games just aren't what they used to be

270
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: in general. Like even I think the last great one

271
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: was Major League Baseball because you were playing for like

272
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: where the World Series was gonna be. It was American

273
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 3: League Verus National League, which was crazy, Like that was wild.

274
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: They don't do that anymore. But there, Yeah, there needs

275
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: to be some sort of why why are they going

276
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: to care? Where are they going to give some effort?

277
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: You know, and.

278
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe this will be it when you have like

279
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: USA versus the world, Like, we don't know.

280
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: We'll see tomorrow. I just don't. I don't know.

281
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be there yet. It's

282
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: in the right it's in the right direction. I get

283
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: what they're trying to do. They needed to do something.

284
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: It's a step in the right direction.

285
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: I just don't. We'll see.

286
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: But that's the problem with all Star games. That's a

287
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: problem with the Pro Bowl. Why the Pro Bowl turned

288
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: to flag football because players were opting out. They're not

289
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: going to play. They don't want to risk it where

290
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: these players are getting made getting so much money.

291
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're really going to risk it on like a

292
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: mid football game.

293
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: No, it's at this is for the fans, like this

294
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: weekend is for the fans. That's what it is. So

295
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: make it a fun different fan interaction situation.

296
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: I mean, there's smart enough people that are paid way

297
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 4: more money than we are that could come up with something.

298
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: They can come on maybe or maybe we should the

299
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: dunkin contact. Well, like we said, the Duncan the Duncan guys.

300
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 4: I think one of the reasons why the NBA Cup

301
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: mid season tournament works so well is because the players

302
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: understand that everybody on the bench gets that money, and

303
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: the G league guys or the the not starting guys

304
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: who don't have massive contracts need that kind of money. Yeah,

305
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 4: and so they're playing for their teammates. Makes sense, So

306
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: I don't but again, like twenty five thousand dollars, No,

307
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: I mean.

308
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: It'd be great for us, but for them, that's like,

309
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: you know, it's literally it's chump change.

310
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: It's like you're dry cleaning.

311
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's nothing. All right, we're gonna take a

312

Speaker 2: be moving when this place?

341
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: Oh like, I literally danced the entire I danced the

00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,000

343
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,360

344
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,320

00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: for your baby too, because the babies love it.

346
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: Oh, so we actually we got introduced. So I will say, like,

347
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: I am a new Ba Bonnie, a bad Bonnie fan.

348
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,479
Speaker 3: My sister married a Cuban and she is now bilingual.

349
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: Her daughter is learning Spanish and English at the same time,

350
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: and so she introduced me to Babbonnie a couple of

351
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: years ago. And so he is like he has been

352
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: on repeat in our house and our family for the

353
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 3: last like couple of years. But like, this was the

354
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: most beautiful, gorgeous celebration.

355
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: Of life and culture that was just so exciting.

356
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: We're going to dive into that a little later in

357
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: the show, but we're gonna stick with the little NBA

358
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: news here because big news this week. I mean it.

359
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: It might be surprising, might not. But Chris Paul announced

360
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: his retirement yesterday. He posted a long letter on his

361
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: page saying, this is it. After over twenty one years,

362
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: I'm stepping away from basketball, and as I write this,

363
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: I don't really know what to feel, but for one

364
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: says most people would be surprised. I don't really have

365
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: the answer, lol, but mostly unfilled with so much joy

366
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 3: and gratitude, which he went on it was like a

367
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: four page swiper post that you could see and it's

368
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: sad that it happened the way it did. Totally mid season,

369
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: but the writing was kind of on the wall, you know.

370
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: He started the season with the Clippers. He played in

371
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: sixteen out of fifty games, only averaging fourteen minutes a game,

372
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: three points and three assists a game of those that

373
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: he was in. And then he got traded to the

374
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: Raptors right before the deadline last week, and then Toronto

375
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 3: waived him on Friday, and shortly after he made his

376
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: announcement that he was retiring. And it's one of those

377
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: like don't be sad because it's over, be happy because

378
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: it happened.

379
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: You always heard how incredible of a teammate he was.

380
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: He gave the game everything that he had and it's

381
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: never easy seeing a career, especially a great one, come

382
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 3: to an end, but he had it is again I

383
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 3: started thinking, like, is this a Hall of Fame career?

384
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: Right?

385
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: Because twenty one seasons in the NBA, twelve time All Star,

386
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 3: eleven time All NBA, nine time All Defensive Team, he

387
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: was the Rookie of the Year, two time Olympic gold medalist.

388
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: That feels it feels like a Hall of Fame career,

389
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: especially because everyone just holds him in such like a

390
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 3: high regard. Everyone that you talk to who plays with

391
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: him like loved him on and off the court.

392
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: He's one of the league's all time leaders and assists

393
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: and steals, twelve time All Star. Like you mentioned, he

394
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 4: doesn't have a ring. That's the one thing that's missing

395
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: on his resume. But I think Barkley, yeah exactly. I

396
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: think one of the things that surprised me the most

397
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: is just the fact that he was waived, which I understand.

398
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: Teams are prioritizing you fit long term. Yeah, playing and planning,

399
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 4: I get it. But what is so sad to me

400
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: is that he's such a good player, a good teammate,

401
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 4: one of the best guards in the NBA, and he

402
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 4: will be remembered as such.

403
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: But most Hall of.

404
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: Famers have the opportunity to have that farewell season where

405
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 4: they play we'll teach city one last time.

406
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: I think he thought that's what it was going to

407
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: be with the Clippers, and to come back to la

408
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: and place as home. And honestly, I think this was

409
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: probably a mutual decision because does he want to take

410
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: his whole family, because we talk about this all the time,

411
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 3: like when players get traded, when people move, and I

412
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: talked about this with Kirk Cousins when we had him

413
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: on our show at Super Week. He goes, no, one

414
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: really thinks about the family, Like you got to take

415
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: the kids out of school, you got to take your

416
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: wife and your family, and you are moving three to

417
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: four other people's lives to go with you. And at

418
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: this point in his career, isn't worth it for all

419
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: of them to pick up and move to Canada? Like

420
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: was that going to be the move for them after

421
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 3: settling here in La and probably really thinking this was

422
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: going to be his final season in a city that

423
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 3: he loves, that he has historyan and it just it

424
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: did not work out the way that they I thought

425
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: it was going to.

426
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

427
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: I do think though, for the final three months, had

428
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 4: another team came calling, I obviously don't know what happened,

429
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: Like I'm not an NBA insider, but to me, if

430
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 4: he could have stayed in Toronto or another team, I

431
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 4: don't know, he got traded somewhere else, like yeah, and

432
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: they didn't wave him. I think he goes by himself

433
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 4: for these final three months and the family comes out

434
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: and visits when they can. I don't think you uproot

435
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: and move the kids for that short time.

436
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: But it just.

437
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 4: Feels like I don't know a guy that good. It

438
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: just goes to show how quickly the league moves and

439
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: how it is such a business. It doesn't matter what

440
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: you've done the past what twenty years. If you're not producing,

441
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 4: you're not making money for them, then they're gonna move

442
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: on from you. But it just feels like maybe we

443
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: owe him a little bit more than getting waived and

444
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: announcing a retirement on Instagram.

445
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah no, that part's sad. That part's sad.

446
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: And if that happens to Chris Paul, what's gonna happen

447
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 4: to I don't know.

448
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, so this then kind of like leads us

449
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: to I think a goat who's also kind of nearing

450
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: the end of his career in Lebron James. He had

451
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: some interesting comments after losing Monday's game to the Thunder.

452
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: I think we have that sound? Can we play that?

453
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: Do you want me to.

454
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 7: Compare us today?

455
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: That's a championship team right there. We're not You can't

456
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: sustain energy and it for forty eight minutes and they can't.

457
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: That's why I.

458
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Want a championship.

459
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not wrong, He's being brutally honest. I mean,

460
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: Lebron is one of the best to ever do it.

461
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: Like when you read through his list of accomplishments, like

462
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: it's insane, Like he's better than a lot of franchises.

463
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: He's won four titles, He's the MVP final in all

464
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: of those four league MVPs. He's about to play in

465
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 3: his twenty second All Star Game Thursday night. He had

466
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 3: a triple double, the oldest player to ever hit and

467
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 3: have a triple double. And when you look at his

468
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: situation with the Lakers right now, they're currently fifth in

469
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: the West. They did go into the All Star Break

470
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: with a win. But there's just a different energy with

471
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: Lebron in LA really kind of these last two seasons

472
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: and especially since the ownership change. So the question like

473
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: is this it's the last year on his contract with

474
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: the with the Lakers, so will this be his last season?

475
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: We're kind of like talking about it different than different

476
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: than Chris Paul.

477
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: Like Lebron's completely different yeah time, yeah, completely different level.

478
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: I do have a feeling like this will probably be

479
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: his last season in LA because it's the last year

480
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: in its contract. But is he going to do like

481
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 3: we see a lot of these players, like a farewell tour,

482
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: And if that happens, he is going to have to

483
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: take a significant pay cut. And the only place I

484
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 3: really see it making sense is if he goes back

485
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: to Cleveland.

486
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: He goes where it all started, his hometown team, and

487
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: maybe does like a homie deal. But he doesn't need to.

488
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 3: He is a billionaire at this point. He has so

489
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: much going on outside.

490
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: Of the game.

491
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 3: He could throw a farewell like he could announce it

492
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: before like the last few weeks of the season, and

493
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: like everyone would come out to see his games.

494
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's to me. I see.

495
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: The only way that this ends is he has a

496
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 4: farewell tour. I mean, this player has been the best

497
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: for twenty plus years. He is the reason why so

498
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 4: many fans love the NBA. When you ask people who

499
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 4: is your team, they say Lebron. Yeah, not Cleveland, not

500
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: the Lakers. It's wherever Lebron is. That's where I'm a

501
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: fan of. He He has poured so much into basketball

502
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 4: in his life that he I would believe wants that

503
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: he wants the recognition. He wants to go to these

504
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: cities and have the standing ovation and do it one

505
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 4: final time. It feels like it would be unfinished business

506
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: for him to retire in three months. He needs to

507
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 4: announce it in the beginning of the season. And to me,

508
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: to your point, yes, he's an unrestricted free agent this summer.

509
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't see him back in Los Angeles. I do

510
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: think those comments maybe put a push at the front

511
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: office to say, if you want me here, you better

512
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 4: go out and get some better players because what we

513
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 4: have on this current roster is not good enough. And

514
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: I'm not sticking around either. He I don't see a way.

515
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 4: Maybe they get some crazy, crazy players and he stays

516
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: in LA. I think to your point, I think he

517
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: should go back to Cleveland. I understand that the salary cap,

518
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 4: they would.

519
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: Have to know he'd had to take a home me deal,

520
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: which what does it matter, Like if you're already a billionaire,

521
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: what does it matter? I mean, I don't know, But again,

522
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: is it worth it? Is it what you want to do?

523
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 5: Like?

524
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: Are you still having fun?

525
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: We're seeing him practice as golf swing during during warm ups,

526
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: Like it's.

527
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 4: I think it would be fun to go on a

528
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: farewell tour. And I think he doesn't need to play

529
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: every game. I mean, Lebron James does what he wants

530
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 4: to do. He's gonna be drinking wine on the sideliner.

531
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. Did he give up wine? I think

532
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: I saw that somewhere, but.

533
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: Of court side, like he is gonna play when he

534
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: wants to play, He's gonna sit out when he wants

535
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: to sit out.

536
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I think he he would.

537
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: Be silly to not have a farewell tour for everything

538
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: he gave to the game, let it give something back

539
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 4: to you.

540
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. He'll tell us when he's done.

541
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: He's obviously not there yet. He still wants to win.

542
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: And I made a claim that I think Lebron's last title,

543
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 3: Lucas first title was going to be Lebron's last. This

544
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: is not the team so like if that happened, he

545
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: would have to do another year in LA. But they

546
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: have so much have so much work that they need

547
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: to do with that team. But now let's check in

548
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 3: with Isaac Low and Cron and see what's trending.

549
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 8: Alex, your timing is perfect because order has just been

550
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 8: restored at the Winter Olympics. The US men's hockey team

551
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 8: has just scored two goals and a span of a

552
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 8: minute and seven seconds to take a three to two

553
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 8: lead over heavy underdog Denmark with six twenty three and

554
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 8: counting left in the second period. Denmark scored just a

555
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 8: minute and forty seconds into the game. Matt Boldy tied

556
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 8: it for Team USA two minutes later, but midway through

557
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 8: the first period, Denmark took a two to one lead

558
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 8: by scoring on a shot from center ice. Here's how

559
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 8: that goal sounded on the radio in Denmark.

560
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: Let me so then knock a stall? But then but

561
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: then who go.

562
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: In straight back stall?

563
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Fust thy us all up?

564
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 8: No translation needed there. So they led two to one

565
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 8: after the first period. But then Brady Kuldchip tied it

566
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 8: for Team USA midway through the second period, and then

567
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 8: Jack Eichel gave the Americans a three to two lead

568
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 8: a minute and seven seconds later, and this time alex

569
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 8: in Bridget. The Danish radio call was somewhat more subdued.

570
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: I love you nothing a couple minutes aminol food thing

571
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:45,639

Speaker 5: Stop pe up?

576
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 8: Earlier today, American speed skater Jordan Stoles won the gold

577
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 8: medal im of five hundred meters.

578
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: Say we're still close.

579
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: Here are coming to the line.

00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 8: the Games after winning the thousand meters on Wednesday. And

583
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 8: finally we have some honest to goodness NFL news to

584
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,800

Speaker 2: your dreams.

600
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 3: You guys, there were so many incredible stories that came

601
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: after the Bad Bunny halftime show, and I'm going to

602
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: start with the first being Vias Tacos what started as

603
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 3: a little taco stand outside of his family's house in

604
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: Highland Park to being part of Benito's Super Bowl show,

605
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: celebrating their people and their heritage and their culture. He's

606
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: been sharing the story all over his social media victor Viaz.

607
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 3: He's had a line wrapped around his taco shop since

608
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: coming back from the Super Bowl Amazing. It's been on

609
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: every major media outlet around LA. His business is booming,

610
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: and that's what it was about. It was about celebrating everyone,

611
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: bringing everyone together, and that was really a part of

612
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: Benito's message to start the show. He opened saying, if

613
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: I'm here today at the super Bowl, it's because I

614
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: never stopped believing in myself.

615
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: You should also believe in yourself. You're worth more than

616
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: you think.

617
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: Truth me And it was just like he really did that,

618
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: celebrating every single person that he had involved in his

619
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: time show.

620
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: It was incredible And I can't get enough content on

621
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: Bad Bunny Halftime.

622

Speaker 4: A do ok and this is a personal one, but

625
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 4: the world needs to know about Grayson Ketchie, a fourteen

626
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,280

665
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 4: Ernest Jones is to Sam Darnald, I know you are

666
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 4: to me, Alex, but yeah, the way that he so

667
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: supports his quarterback regardless of what anybody says, and guess

668
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: what he has to Oh my god, that was amazing.

669
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: He has the last laugh. Yeah, he's got it.

670
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 4: I mean this, Sam Donald, Ernest Jones relationship. If that

671
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,760

672
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 4: is all about.

673
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: I love that so much.

674
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I have it, don't don't drunk.

675
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: Tweet Ooh who's this? Oh no, it's a handler. You

676
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: guys young.

677
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: He's young and rich and successful. But this is where

678
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: you can get in trouble. He's now had three ify

679
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: social media moments the last few months, but following the

680
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: Seahawks Super Bowl when he tweeted a positive for Cooper

681
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: Cup and then Sam Darnald with laughing faces.

682
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Buddy, I hate to break it to you, but like.

683
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: He just won the Super Bowl and you're getting carried

684
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: out of the club drunk.

685
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: I'm not going to comment on this. It's hard. I

686
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: just it's hard.

687
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: It's hard when you have so much fame, like I

688
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 4: think Pooka. Remember he was a late round draft pick.

689
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: I don't think that he anticipated.

690
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: He didn't grow up with that hard Like when you've

691
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: been a superstar and you've been that you were the number.

692
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: It reminds me of Princess Diary. Someone needs to come

693
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 4: give him katillion classes.

694
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: He just he needs a handler. He needs a handler.

695
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: He needs a social media person. So there's a buffer,

696
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: like there should.

697
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 4: Be a lot that you put on your phone, Like

698
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: I have a there's an app. No, I can't open

699
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 4: Instagram unless I hit two thousand steps. How about Pooka

700
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 4: can't open Twitter? Yeah, it's a great apps step a lot.

701
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: Pukah shouldn't be able to open Twitter.

702
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Wait, that's the thing.

703
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: You're not allowed to open your social media until you've

704
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: paid two thousand made.

705
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: The world of a difference for me. Yeah, it's great

706
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 4: and you can change, you can do three thousand. What

707
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 4: it's great because how often are you waking up in

708
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 4: the first thing you do consuming social media?

709
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: And it trains you.

710
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: It takes you down, especially right now, the first thing

711
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 4: you do if you walk like I've been happier. Dare

712
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 4: I say you want to don't from me kind of

713
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000

00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 4: publicly say you aren't a fan of something that you

715
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: don't understand while you're sitting on the couch and joining

Speaker 2: You can never play it.

719
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 4: Don't say that you don't understand bad bunny. So you

720
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: don't like it, Okay, I'm looking at you. Bad bunny haters.

721
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,600

Speaker 2: Because even if you.

723
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 4: Don't understand what he's saying, yeah, just move your booty.

724
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 4: And if you can't move your booty, then just say that.

Speaker 2: Thanks for joining the show.

738
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: Hello everyone, I appreciate you guys. Give me a little

739
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 5: extra time. The Silver press conference went a little later

740
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: than expected, so thank you for that.

741
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: Worth it, worth it, And we got to get into

742
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: that because he got some heated questions right out of

743
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 3: the gates, the first one being about teams tanking. It's been,

744
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, kind of a hot topic this week with

745
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 3: a few teams getting big fines.

746
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: But give us the headlines. What was your takeaway from

747
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 2: his presser?

748
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, I think they when these press conferences happen,

749
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 5: you know, they're on the calendar and we all know it.

750
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 5: So he's very prepared for what's going to be asked. Yeah,

751
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 5: there's not going to be a question in one of

752
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 5: these settings that surprises him. But I have to say,

753
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 5: I think anticipation for this one is as high as

754
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 5: I can remember, because tanking talk since the trade deadline

755
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 5: ended on February fifth, fifth.

756
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, all we've.

757
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 5: Been talking about is tanking. Yeah, and gambling and the

758
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 5: Clippers investigation. Like there are just so many really, I mean,

759
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 5: these are glaring, blaring headline topics. So he answered them all,

760
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: and I don't think there were any great surprises. But

761
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: I mean the main thing is he acknowledged that tanks,

762
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 5: in his own words, tanking behavior is the word he

763
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 5: used in quotes, behavior is worse than at any time

764
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 5: in recent memory, and that he's saying that the league

765
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 5: is open to any conceivable suggestion to improve it.

766
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: But the reality guy suggestion.

767
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 5: I mean, well do you have one. I mean, like,

768
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 5: I know, whoever can whoever can fix tanking is way

769
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 5: smarter than me. I mean it is. You know, this

770
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 5: draft is so anticipated that even after the finds we've

771
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 5: seen this week, I mean, a five hundred thousand dollars

772
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 5: fine to the Utah Jazz, that's not going to stop

773
00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 5: anyone from like they Darren Peterson, AJ debonsa Cameron Boozer

774
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 5: and even the next tier of players four or five, six. Yeah,

775
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 5: I mean this draft is so anticipated and that this

776
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 5: is this is also this is basketball, Yeah, like one

777
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 5: player makes a massive difference. Yes, there's no other sport

778
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 5: like it. Even if you get an amazing quarterback in

779
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 5: the NFL draft, I mean, take it from a huge

780
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills fan. You know, Josh Allen didn't walk in

781
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 5: as the MVP. It takes a minute, you know. But

782
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 5: in basketball, if you get a top four pick or

783
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: even a top six pick in this draft that hits,

784
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 5: it's franchise changing potentially totally. And so findes aren't going

785
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 5: to just fines are not going to dissuade anyone.

786
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 4: Okay, So Going off of that, my question was how

787
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 4: do you get people more interested in All Star Weekend?

788
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 4: And I think it kind of goes into what you're

789
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 4: saying about how do you get people to be interested

790
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 4: in playing all eighty two games? Like, how do you

791
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 4: bring this competitive nature back to the NBA? And starting

792
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 4: with this weekend in Engle when you're there on the

793
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 4: scene of the All Star Weekend, is there any competition

794
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: going on? How do we raise that?

795
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 7: Well?

796
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 5: See, I'm I'm old. So my take on this is

797
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 5: completely different than most. I don't think that it's I

798
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 5: don't think it's life changing, franchise changing. I don't think

799
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 5: our world's end on a competitive All Star game. And look,

800
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 5: I don't love this new format. And if Sunday's All

801
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 5: Star Game is bad, social media will erupt and it

802
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 5: will be painted as the worst possible thing in the

803
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 5: history of sports, and by Tuesday, no one will be

804
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 5: thinking about the All Star Game again until next February.

805
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 5: It's just the reality. The reality is I'm a child

806
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 5: of the seventies and eighties and the All Star Game

807
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 5: was in baseball in the NBA. It was so special

808
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 5: because you didn't get these guys together except in a

809
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 5: format like this, and even just watching intros for the

810
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 5: NBA All Star Game or the Major League Baseball All

811
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 5: Star Game, just to watch the introductions stopped you in

812
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 5: your tracks because you couldn't believe all these great players

813
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 5: were in one place in twenty twenty six. These guys

814
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 5: are in our lives every second of every day. It's

815
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 5: just not the same. All Star weekend is a convention,

816
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 5: and everybody wants to be an All Star. They don't

817
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: really want to play in the game. It's just the reality.

818
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 5: And I don't know what the magical format is to

819
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 5: change that. So if you feel like you have to

820
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 5: have a competitive All Star Game or your life is ruined,

821
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I'm the guests you want on the show.

822
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: No, No, we were talking about it off the top

823
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 3: of the show. It's just not the same, especially the

824
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 3: dunk contest too. It's just like it's nothing's going to

825
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: compare to social media, Jordan Kobe. Social media just changed that.

826
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: But let's switch gears here because you recently reported that

827
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: an investor group wants a partner with Mark Cuban to

828
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: purchase the MAVs. What more can you tell us about this?

829
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: And is it a real possibility that Cuban can get

830
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: him back.

831
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 5: Well, Mark Cuban, since my report has come out and

832
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 5: said that he gets these kind of feelers all the time,

833
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 5: and by Cubans don't admission he knows that he doesn't

834
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 5: think that the Dumont and Addilson families will sell. Now,

835
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: when I wrote the story last Monday, you know, I

836
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 5: reached out to the Dumont Adelson side of the equation

837
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 5: and the initial response was not was not a firm no.

838
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 5: The initial response was, we're very excited about the future

839
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 5: of this franchise and the Cooper flag era. And I

840
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 5: think that maybe gave people hope, maybe even gave investors

841
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 5: who want to partner with Mark Cuban some hope that

842
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 5: this thing had a chance. And then forty eight hours later,

843
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 5: the same source, who the same source close to Dumont

844
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 5: who said that the messaging now was the team is

845
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 5: not for sale. So they have come out and said

846
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 5: the team is not for sale, and you know, if

847
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 5: that's their stance, then this thing has no chance. But look,

848
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 5: I think it's fair to say, you know, Mark Cuban

849
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 5: regrets selling the team and it's been a very bumpy

850
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 5: transition from his ownership to the new ownership.

851
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you.

852
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 5: Know they're the disc Now, I will say this, the

853
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 5: discontent in Madsland, you know, has been a non stop thing.

854
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 5: And you know, in all my years coming to the league,

855
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 5: I've never seen a reaction to a trade like this.

856
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 5: But you know, the miracle of May twelfth, as I

857
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 5: call it, because you know, they won the Cooper Flag

858
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 5: lottery with a one point eight percent chance. And again

859
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 5: that takes us right back to the first topic. You

860
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 5: win the lottery and you you could make you know,

861
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 5: the Luca trade is the worst trade in the history

862
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: of the NBA. It is the It is the worst.

863
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 5: And if if like you, just you look at Dallas

864
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 5: and you have to think where would they be if

865
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 5: they didn't win the Cooper Flag lottery.

866
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, thank you so much for joining us.

867
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: We gotta go here. We appreciate you so much.

881
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 3: at this man. So we were always so impressive for

882
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 3: the dogs, but that's impressive when you have the baby

883
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 3: and the dogs.

884
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: The baby and the dogs is scary next level because

00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 2: if they take off, what are you doing? You yeah,

886
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,480

Speaker 2: a game. With ourselves.

921
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna do a segment called nailed It or Failed It? Basically,

922
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 3: Bridget and I are each gonna share a few different

923
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 3: takes that we either nailed this year or we failed

924
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 3: this year. And I'm gonna kick things off, and I

925
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 3: like to start things off with a positive note, So

926
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with a nailed it. Okay, and this

927
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: was just from last week. Just from last week, but

928
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, I nailed the Seahawks defense and Sam Darnold,

929
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: We're going to shut down the Patriots. There was a

930
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 3: moment watching this Super Bowl that I was concerned it

931
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 3: was gonna be a blowout. And don't get me wrong,

932
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 3: I didn't have a team. I was no dog or

933
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 3: no dog in the fight. But you always want to

934
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: see a good game totally, especially at the Super Bowl. Yeah,

935
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: this was not like, this wasn't close, like the dark Side.

936
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 3: The Seahawks defense just came out and absolutely took control.

937
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold played the best two games of his career,

938
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: the last two games of the season, the biggest game

939
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 3: of his life, the NFC Championship game, which we all

940
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: said was going to be the Super Bowl. Through it,

941
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 3: like through this playoff run five touchdowns, zero interceptions, And

942
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 3: it really goes back to everybody doubting this man, and

943
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 3: I was one of them. I apologized to him numerous

944
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: times throughout the playoffs, but no one believed that he

945
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 3: could be that guy in a big game late late

946
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 3: in the season or even into the playoffs, Like he

947
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 3: won his first playoff game, this playoff run and went

948
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: all the way and won.

949
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl, incredible, Like it was just with everybody

950
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 4: doubting him.

951
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 3: Everybody, like even even teams, like this was his first

952
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 3: shot besides his draft year where someone believed he could

953
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 3: be the guy where he could be the starting guy.

954
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 3: Because even last when he was picked up by the Vikings,

955
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 3: he was brought in as JJ McCarthy's backup who then

956
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: got injured, and then he got the opportunity to be

957
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: the starter, had an incredible.

958
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 2: Season, they still let him go.

959
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because because he had that Week eighteen loss

960
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 3: and then that loss in the playoffs, and they were like, well,

961
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: you know, he's not our future. We don't need to

962
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: pay him that much to be our bridge guy. And

963
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: maybe if he's in the building, it's gonna not be

964
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 3: great for JJ McCarthy's development. And boy were they wrong

965
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: because they fired their GM A little emotional I think

966
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: decision there because again could have gone either way. But

967
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 3: he literally silenced all of his doubters. And was it

968
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: an entertaining super Bowl?

969
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 2: Not really? But but he got the job done and

970
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: that's what mattered.

971
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 4: And he didn't even need to be Superman. He didn't

972
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 4: have a great game. He even said in his postgame

973
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: interview was our offense. Our offense wasn't great, Like it

974
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 4: wasn't as good as we saw against the Rams. They

975
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 4: didn't need to be perfect because their defense.

976
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 2: Is so good. And how about championships?

977
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 4: How about him getting a super Bowl before Joe Burrow,

978
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, all of these quarterbacks that are

979
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 4: so much his draft class have so much more respect

980
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: than who have won MVPs. Yeah, I mean, come on,

981
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold. I love it, but he doesn't care. No,

982
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 4: he does not care. Love that for him.

983
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 2: I'm staying in the NFL.

984
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with it failed because I want to

985
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 4: get it out of the way first before my nailed it.

986
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 4: The AFC Championship will be the Bengals and Ravens. I was,

987
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 4: I was hype And one of the traps that I

988
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 4: fall into is when I'm around teams during training camp

989
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 4: that I cover a lot. I drink the kool Aid,

990
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 4: and I was buying that Joe Burrow was the healthiest

991
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 4: he's ever been. Yes, this was his year. They have

992
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 4: t Higgins, they have Jamar Chase hate the guys. Yes,

993
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 4: this was gonna be the year. And also Lamar Jackson,

994
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry. They're back together. They barely lost the championship

995
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 4: game to the Bills, and now they're going to be

996
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 4: back and they're going to win the Super Bowl, Lamar's

997
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 4: first super Bowl.

998
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 2: Man, was I wrong? They they didn't even make.

999
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 3: The playoffs, which, like if you told anybody like crystal

1000
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: Ball beginning of the season like Bengals and Ravens weren't

1001
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 3: going to be in the playoff, Chiefs weren't going.

1002
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 4: To be starting one in five or something, no one

1003
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 4: would have believed you. I mean, come on, and I

1004
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 4: still like, call me silly, And I don't know why

1005
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 4: I don't have an alliance to any team. Okay, like

1006
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 4: I am a fan of players, I don't care if

1007
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 4: he wins.

1008
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 3: You have to be in this league unless you grew

1009
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 3: up like hardcore hardcore with the team.

1010
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm from New England. I wrote twenty minutes from.

1011
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 2: Were you a Patriots fan?

1012
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 5: The Girl?

1013
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 4: Yes, I grew up twenty minutes from Jillette And it

1014
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 4: just kind of shifted once you become a reporter. Yeah,

1015
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 4: and I think I've been in LA the past five years. Like,

1016
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 4: I'm not a Rams fan. I'm just a fan of people.

1017
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 4: And I think too, when you learn so much about

1018
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 4: the behind the scenes of a team, it kind of

1019
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 4: changes your perspective too. And I'm like, okay, business anyways.

1020
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 4: I say all that to say, for whatever reason, and

1021
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 4: Ravens have not even close a place in my hard

1022
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 4: and I don't even know why. Every single year I

1023
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 4: get fooled by the Bengals.

1024
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Joah does.

1025
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 4: It's like, come on, and I still believe that this

1026
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 4: might be there here.

1027
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1028
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 2: I know I was so wrong.

1029
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 4: I'm still sitting here like, yeah, Ben, those Rabbins AFC Championship.

1030
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: Done's on the back.

1031
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 3: Let's run back for next season.

1032
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 2: If I say it enough times, maybe I'll be right

1033
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 2: speak it into existence.

1034
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know why. I just think Joe

1035
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 4: Burrow and Lamar Jackson are fun players. They are, and

1036
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 4: I want success for them.

1037
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, success for all the good guys. Well you want

1038
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: It's better for the league when the great players are

1039
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 2: doing great and the teams around them are doing great,

1040
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: because that's who you want to watch in the biggest

1041
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: games of the season. In the playoffs. You're telling me

1042
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 2: we could get a Joe Burrow Super Bowl fit? Oh

1043
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 2: my god, what would it be? That would be incredible?

1044
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: Shout out to Kyle his stylist. The fits, I mean, I.

1045
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 3: Was like, what are we talking about? Yes, no, we're

1046
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 3: talking about it's got it? Did you see my face

1047
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 3: go on a hundred different places? I was like, what

1048
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 3: is this girl's outfit? Yes, Sorr the run with red

1049
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 3: carpet of the supersol done.

1050
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 2: We love. Okay, I'm going to follow it up with

1051
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: a failed it and it's pretty similar to yours. Uh.

1052
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 2: I said the Rams were going to the Super Bowl, Okay,

1053
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 2: but I can't. I'm just gonna say not bad. If

1054
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 2: they would have.

1055
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 3: Won the NFC Championship Game and beat the Seahawks, they

1056
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 3: would have won this totally like they the Rams should

1057
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 3: be the most upset team in the playoffs.

1058
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: After drinking after seeing what the Seahawks did to the Patriots.

1059
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 3: Like Matthew Stafford, the MVP had an incredible MVP season.

1060
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 3: I will give myself a little nailed to my failed

1061
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: that the NFC Championship was going to be the super Bowl.

1062
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 3: You were there, We talked to you before it, and

1063
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 3: I think ever went in the game of the year,

1064
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 3: everyone knew that was going to be it. That was

1065
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 3: going to be It was ten times better than the

1066
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 3: actual Super Bowl. And again, you knew whoever was going

1067
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 3: to win that game was probably going to go on

1068
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 3: to win the super Bowl. And that's what happened. The

1069
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 3: good news for the Rams is everybody's everyone's back. Matthew

1070
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: Stafford gave everyone that beautiful little nugget at the end

1071
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 3: of his MVP speech saying, we're gonna run it back

1072
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 3: again next year. Most of their big names are coming

1073
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 3: back because they had DeVante Adams on a two year deal.

1074
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 3: They have a young defensive corps, they have one of

1075
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,959
Speaker 3: the best coaches in the league in Sean McVay, who's

1076
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 3: going to be back, and it's just, yeah, we're gonna

1077
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 3: I'm gonna run it back again. Like I think it's

1078
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 3: gonna happen. Super Bowl is in LA next year.

1079
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 2: The only team to ever win in LA the Rams.

1080
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 2: Let's run it back again. It was Stafford. It was

1081
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: Stafford's first year in LA. Let's do it again. Maybe. Yeah,

1082
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good about that. I totally support that decision.

1083
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 5: I know.

1084
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 4: Okay, I have two nailed it. I'm gonna go with

1085
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 4: my Chargers. Okay, Now I'm gonna make a lot of

1086
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 4: people angry because there are some Chargers fans that.

1087
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 2: Really dislike me.

1088
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 4: Why well, because they justin Herbert and the Chargers won't

1089
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 4: get past the first round. That's what I said, and

1090
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 4: I nailed it. They are another team you would make

1091
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 4: you fall into a trap of believing they are a

1092
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 4: super Bowl caliber team. But I have been around long

1093
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 4: enough to know that no matter what happens during training

1094
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 4: camp the first couple weeks of the season, they are

1095
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 4: not getting past the first round until something changes. They

1096
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 4: have such a good roster I love had a big change. Yes,

1097
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald, m McDaniel, there's mike's, so many McDonald's, McDaniel,

1098
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 4: Josh McDaniels. Anyways, Yeah, yes, maybe he is the answer.

1099
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 4: I hope that he is for these Chargers fans because

1100
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 4: they have been through a really tough time. But and

1101
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 4: Khalil Mack, I love him. He's one of my favorite players.

1102
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: I will come and shout it from the rooftops, how

1103
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 4: great that guy is. I want him to win a

1104
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 4: Super Bowl so bad. So I want them to do it.

1105
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 4: They have a roster when you look at paper to

1106
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 4: do it. They always get injured in the worst ways,

1107
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: both of their tackles this season. I mean there's been

1108
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 4: receivers in the past, there's you name it. They have

1109
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 4: been injured in the worst possible ways. Justin Herbert has

1110
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 4: never won a playoff game, Okay, and they need to

1111
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 4: find a way to get over the hump. Maybe this

1112
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 4: is the year with the new OC.

1113
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe, But to me, I don't know.

1114
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1115
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.

1116
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 4: They have the talent, they have a beautiful facility, they

1117
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 4: have a great coach in Jim Harbaugh.

1118
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 3: It's hard because it's similar. It's like the number two

1119
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 3: team in LA. It's like the Clippers to the Lakers,

1120
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 3: and it's like the Chargers to the Rams. Like they

1121
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 3: had a good thing going on in San Diego. And

1122
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 3: it's really hard when you come in and you piggyback

1123
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 3: off of a team that wants the Super Bowl and

1124
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 3: built the facility, so you are just renting the number

1125
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: two team at so far in the facility.

1126
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's really hard.

1127
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 3: And I do because I love Harba and I think

1128
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 3: he I mean literally, Ted Lasso's character is modeled off

1129
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 3: of Harba, like it's come out like Jason Sadaigas like

1130
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: shared messages of reaching out to him before he was

1131
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 3: playing Tadline like that is him. Like you can't you

1132
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 3: cannot not love the coaching situation and those press conferences

1133
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 3: this yere are going to be absolutely incredible.

1134
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 2: I mean it's going to be much watched television with

1135
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 2: both with them, with both of them, So I also hope.

1136
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 3: And it was also hard because I think everyone's had

1137
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 3: such high expectations for Justin Herbert and he just hasn't.

1138
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 2: Quite lived up to those expectations yet. So I do

1139
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: hope that that changes.

1140
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 3: They're a favor, They're a top favorite to win I

1141
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 3: think the division this year, next year, next season.

1142
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 4: So they had their moment this year with the Kansas

1143
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 4: City having a down year and then Sean Payton and

1144
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 4: the Broncos where.

1145
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 2: This, but they still had a chance.

1146
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 4: I mean, had they been in the Broncos, they could

1147
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 4: have won the division.

1148
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 2: I know.

1149
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 3: Okay, this kind of leads me into my next nailed it.

1150
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 3: The Chiefs dynasty is over. This was a brutal season.

1151
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: You think it's over.

1152
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 3: I I said, I think it's over at the start

1153
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 3: of the season, and obviously the biggest thing was Mahomes

1154
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 3: tearing his ACL, first time that Mahomes have missed the

1155
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 3: playoffs since being in the league. Travis Kelsey also had

1156
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 3: a down year and the big question is will Travis

1157
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 3: Kelsey be back next season. The Chiefs want him back,

1158
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 3: he said he hasn't made a decision yet. He talked

1159
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 3: a lot about how hard he worked this last offseason

1160
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 3: and didn't get the results. It wasn't a great season.

1161
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't his worse, but father time is definitely catching

1162
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 3: up to him and you're not gonna most likely have

1163
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes back at the start of the season. He's

1164
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 3: saying he wants to be back week one, but even

1165
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 3: his ACL in December, he's most likely not back till

1166
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 3: late September early October. That's closer to Week three or four,

1167
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 3: so he's most likely missing the first month.

1168
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,959
Speaker 2: Of the season. Going to be the same right away,

1169
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 2: He's not going to be the same right away.

1170
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 3: And that was kind of the big part of the

1171
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 3: die Yny, like the Trinity is like you have Andy Reid,

1172
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,479
Speaker 3: you have Patrick Mahomes, and you had Travis Kelsey because

1173
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 3: that was his number one target.

1174
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: Like they have.

1175
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 3: They've broken all of the playoff records between Mahomes and Kelsey.

1176
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 3: They are going to have to do some sort of

1177
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: magic revamp if they ever want to get back.

1178
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: They still have one.

1179
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 3: Of the greatest quarterback coach duos in Mahomes in Andy Reid,

1180
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: but he's coming off his first major injury, so you

1181
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: don't know what he's going to be.

1182
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: His pass have always been ankle. This is definitely his

1183
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 2: biggest I don't know. I don't for a see.

1184
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: It being anytime soon of them getting back to the

1185
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 3: top of the Mahomes Mountain.

1186
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 4: Nothing surprises me with Patrick Mahomes And every time we

1187
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 4: say he's having a down year, except for when he

1188
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 4: actually got injured this year, he's pulled it out of nowhere.

1189
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 4: And I think with receivers too, like who are his

1190
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 4: top receivers the past couple years hasn't had it right and.

1191
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 2: They've still been ever totally sens tyree, totally, totally, I

1192
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 2: totally agree with you.

1193
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 4: And Travis Kelcey will be a huge X factor if

1194
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 4: he comes back or not. If I'm Patrick Mahomes, I'm

1195
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 4: begging him, I'm saying, come on, please, come on, come on.

1196
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 2: Can't do his boys, But I don't know, at least

1197
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 2: try for one more. I don't know if he if

1198
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: he can, but hey, Tom Brady got hurt and then

1199
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: he went on and still was successful.

1200
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he also brought Gronk back out of retirement

1201
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 3: to win that.

1202
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 2: Last with the Bucks. Yeah right, yeah, in that last

1203
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. So who knows.

1204
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 3: Like maybe Travis goes take a year, but it's different,

1205
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 3: like he's about to marry like the biggest pop icon in.

1206
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: The world, like go living life, baby dad, but like

1207
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 2: he can do that and also play.

1208
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 3: It's more so just can he still play to the

1209
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 3: level that he wants to, because he talked about the

1210
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 3: work that he put in this past offseason and just

1211
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 3: wasn't even close this year.

1212
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: It's hard because that's where it starts to catch up.

1213
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: So you don't know.

1214
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, like, will we have another dynasty? Is

1215
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 3: there one that's inn at.

1216
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 2: The Seahos, because it could be.

1217
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 3: It's interesting saying because Sam Donald is twenty eight, so

1218
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 3: we still like on the like he's a mature but

1219
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 3: on the younger side. I guess of a quarterback to

1220
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 3: be able to do that because when you look at

1221
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 3: the last ten Super Bowls, I think you have to

1222
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 3: win three super Bowls to be considered totally a dynasty.

1223
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: And if we're going like most recent you.

1224
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 3: Got Seahawks, Eagles, Chiefs, Chiefs, Rams, Brady's box Chiefs, Patriots,

1225
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 3: Brady Eagles, Patriots, so it really only can be Seahawks Eagles,

1226
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 3: Chiefs Rams. It feels like and I don't Eagles.

1227
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles are done. They're done, They're on

1228
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 2: the down.

1229
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: Just the energy with everybody too, the players, the drama,

1230
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 3: it's just not there anymore.

1231
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 2: Rams.

1232
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 3: It would have to be kind of like a back

1233
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 3: to back situation because I think Stafford.

1234
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 2: Is at the end and Stafford retires, Yeah, he's at

1235
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 2: the end. Seahawks.

1236
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 3: I think that like everything kind of came together beautifully.

1237
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 3: Like no, it's not that I don't believe in Sam Donald.

1238
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 3: I think it was a down year with everyone else

1239
00:57:58,640 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 3: in the league. I think it's going to be a

1240
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 3: lot tougher to get there. I think they are a

1241
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 3: great team. Their defense top scoring defense in the league.

1242
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 3: He is an incredible quarterback for that system, and it

1243
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 3: works and it works well.

1244
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 2: I think all you need to be successful in the

1245
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 2: Eagle or the Sorry, the Seahawks were the blueprint for it.

1246
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 2: Have a good defense in a good run game. The

1247
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 2: biggest question mark with the Seahawks is Kenneth Walker is up.

1248
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 2: They need to sign him, and then Jack Charbonay comes

1249
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 2: back from a torn ACL I think Sam Darnold doesn't

1250
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: need to be a hero.

1251
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 3: All Right, we're gonna take a break here, but when

1252
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 3: we come back, you guys, we're gonna kind of continue

1253
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 3: this Super Bowl conversation. Can any of the teams that

1254
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: we're in to this year make it back next year?

1255
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,800

Speaker 4: That's the best Valentine's Day gift there is, right, happy baby,

1271
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 4: That's so special.

1272
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,919
Speaker 2: I'm like so emotional. We love it. Like I said,

1273
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: we don't do gifts, we do experiences. Yeah, here you go, surprise.

1274
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

1275
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 4: Congratulations because that's a great song. It would be really

1276
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 4: awkward if it was just like oh no, no, no, they're

1277
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 4: they're like a K rock band.

1278
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 2: I know them, I know the radio.

1279
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 4: It would yeah.

1280
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so real quick, we were talking about Dinah. I

1281
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 3: think we ended the last conversation with dynasties, right, So.

1282
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 2: I want a quick Super.

1283
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 3: Bowl reaction from both of us because we were talking

1284
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 3: about it all last week. Do you think either of

1285
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 3: these teams, Patriots or Seahawks can make it back next year?

1286
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 4: Yes, I do believe the Seahawks can make it back

1287
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl next year. And this is coming

1288
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 4: from a girl, as I mentioned, who grew up twenty

1289
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 4: minutes from Jillette Stadium. The reason why I say the

1290
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 4: Patriots cannot make it back is because of their strength

1291
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 4: of schedule. It is going to be so much harder.

1292
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: And that's such an easy one. Well, that's what the

1293
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: NFL does.

1294
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 4: The better you get, the farther along you get in

1295
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 4: the postseason, the harder your schedule is to follow, which

1296
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,439
Speaker 4: I love. It keeps the competition up. I think it's

1297
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 4: going to be very challenging for the Patriots to make

1298
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 4: it back to the Super Bowl.

1299
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 2: I would love for them to prove me wrong.

1300
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:44,479
Speaker 4: Whereas the Seahawks, they have the pieces to win again Leada.

1301
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 4: I mentioned Kenneth Walker, the third They need to figure

1302
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 4: out a way to re sign him, get him back.

1303
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 4: You have Zach Sharbonay who's dealing with an ACL. I

1304
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 4: don't know at what point he'll be able to come back.

1305
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 4: But you still have Sam Darnold, you still have Jackson

1306
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba. You still have that defense the dark side. Yeah,

1307
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 4: your core pieces are coming back and you still have

1308
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald. The one question I do have is who's

1309
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 4: gonna replace Clint Kubiak, their offensive coordinator, who is now

1310
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 4: the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.

1311
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that does give me a little worry.

1312
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 4: You saw what happened with Detroit when Ben Johnson went

1313
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 4: to become the.

1314
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears head coach.

1315
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 4: The Detroit Lions offense was not the same this year,

1316
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 4: No bute clo. I will say, Sam Donald is entering

1317
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 4: his ninth season. He's about to have his ninth different

1318
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator. While so if any one is used to change,

1319
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 4: it's him, it's him.

1320
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would like to see.

1321
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 4: It's gonna be very competitive in the NFC West once again,

1322
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 4: which is great for us here in LA.

1323
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1324
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say no because I'm going Rams all

1325
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 3: the way, baby, and I think the Rams are gonna

1326
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 3: make it that they should have been in this year.

1327
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 3: I think they make it back next year. As you said,

1328
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 3: I think Stafford's gonna go out on top like MVP

1329
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 3: season this year. Super Bowl win, your second Super Bowl

1330
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 3: in your home stadium again would be like absolutely Chef's

1331
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 3: kiss insane and retire.

1332
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 4: If that happens. I'm sick of go out of layers

1333
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 4: trying for more. You can't blame them though, I love

1334
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 4: a perfect ending. I know everyone does a storybook ending.

1335
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 4: But okay, so you have Seahawks going back. I have

1336
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 4: Rams or one and two fan duels Super Bowl faves.

1337
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 4: You got Seahawks, Rams, and then Ravens and Bills tight

1338
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 4: at three, Packers at five, Chargers and Eagles tied at six,

1339
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 4: Lions and Chiefs tied at eight, and Patriots at ten.

1340
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 2: Interesting.

1341
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 4: We already talked about a lot of those teams and

1342
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 4: why they won't get back there.

1343
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, you got Seahawks, I got Rams. Baby, This

1344
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 3: is the way too early Super Bowl picks. But now

1345
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 3: let's check in with Isaac Low and Crown and see

1346
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 3: what's trending.

1347
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: Thank Alex.

1348
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 8: At the Winter Olympics right now, the US men's hockey

1349
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 8: team holding on to a five to three lead over

1350
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 8: Denmark eight minutes left to play in the third period.

1351
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 7: Worriesome for a while.

1352
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 8: There, because the Americans actually trailed this game midway through

1353
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 8: the second period two to one. On Yeah, since then,

1354
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 8: they've gone on a four to one goal scoring run.

1355
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 8: So order restored in men's ice hockey, while earlier today

1356
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 8: American speed skater Jordan Stoles won the gold medal in

1357
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 8: the five hundred meters, his second gold medal of these games.

1358
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 8: He won the thousand meters back on Wednesday. In the NFL,

1359
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 8: the Las Vegas Raiders are promoting defensive line coach Rob

1360
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 8: Leonard to be their new defensive coordinator. Finally, Alex and Bridget.

1361
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 8: In college basketball, the late great NBA announcer Chick Hearn

1362
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 8: had a famous phrase he puts so and so in

1363
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 8: the popcorn machine. Well, today's game between Georgia and Oklahoma

1364
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 8: at the Lloyd Nobles Center in Norman was delayed after

1365
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 8: a popcorn machine at one of the concession stands caught

1366
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 8: on fire. Here's how it sounded on the SEC Network telecastbil,

1367
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 8: Oh my goodbody's looking.

1368

Speaker 7: You can see we got.

1372
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 5: The sprinkler overhead system is working right now.

1373
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 7: So our officials they pointed out there that disclation. What

1374
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 7: you just keep the crowd looking up there and you're like,

1375
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 7: what's going on.

1376
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Everybody is scattered from that area.

1377
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 8: Thankfully no injuries were reported during the delay. They played

1378
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 8: Billy Joels. We didn't start the fire over the PA system.

1379
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 8: Right now, Oklahoma has an eighty eight to seventy four

1380
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 8: lead over Georgia with two minutes remaining of the second half.

1381
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 8: Oklahoma shooting fifty eight percent from the field, fifty six

1382
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 8: percent from three point range. The Sooners dare I say

1383
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 8: on fire? Alex and Bridget back to you.

1384

1386
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 3: your Saturday afternoon with us. It is time to bring

1387
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 3: in our next guest, NBA insider joining us. Are you

1388
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 3: at the three point contest right now?

1389
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 7: Mark Medda, Alex, I am literally here. I had to

1390
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 7: take a quick break from watching that.

1391
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 5: I want miss this.

1392
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Okay, take us inside the arena right now. What is

1393
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 3: the vibe into a dome?

1394
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 7: Well, it's kind of like a Clippers game, but you

1395
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 7: magnify that with the fact that there's multiple All Stars.

1396
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 7: I mean, it's fascinating being Anthony's interviews and being at

1397
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 7: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's press conference because there was a

1398
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 7: lot of date of the game type question. Yeah, on

1399
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 7: one hand, Adam Silver laid down the hammer that he

1400
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 7: thinks tanking is worse that has been in recent memory

1401
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 7: and those recent fines to the Utah Jazz and the

1402
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 7: Indiana Pacers. I posed that question to Steph Curry and

1403
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 7: he shot back very adamantly, as if he was taking

1404
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 7: a three, saying like the league is a good hand. Yeah,

1405
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 7: you can always improve things, but with the play in

1406
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 7: tournament and so much parody in the league gets better.

1407
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 7: So this is kind of how All Star game is.

1408
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 7: There's a lot of debate about kind of the big

1409
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 7: picture things.

1410
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: You know.

1411
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 7: Obviously another big picture thing. Will the format and tomorrow's

1412
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 7: game US versus the world actually lead to a competitive game?

1413
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards was kind of like, it is what it is.

1414
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 7: It suggests he's not going to try that much. Kevin

1415
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 7: Durant shot back saying that he watched old clips of

1416
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 7: you know, the eighties, nineties on car games and he

1417
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,919
Speaker 7: said it really wasn't that competitive. So, yeah, it's fun

1418
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 7: hearing all the different take from.

1419
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to ask you about the All

1420
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 4: Star format changing and if players actually care about making

1421
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 4: it competitive. But I want to lead that into how

1422
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 4: the NBA continues to be competitive for eighty two games.

1423
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 4: You heard Adam Silver say that, you know, tanking is

1424
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 4: worse than it's ever been.

1425
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 2: So what needs to change.

1426
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 4: If you're the commissioner, what are you doing to change

1427
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 4: and make things more competitive.

1428
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 7: Well, to be clear, no one's ever going to shorten

1429
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 7: the season because that means less money for owners, gf coaches, players,

1430
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 7: confession workers. So that's off the table. But as far

1431
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 7: as tanking, he did say that they've discussed the possibility

1432
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 7: of docking teams with draft picks.

1433
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Interesting, they're.

1434
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 7: Being more punic penalties. But here's the thing that's tough

1435
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 7: to legislate when it comes to tanking. And the Utah

1436
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 7: Jazz will counter with this. The NBA is not in

1437
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 7: the business nor can it really fully evaluate like player

1438
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 7: coach decisions, organizational decisions with rotations. But with the Jazz

1439
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:19,479
Speaker 7: it was a little bit more aggregious because they sat

1440
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 7: out an entire fourth quarter. But I think what will

1441
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 7: happen moving forward is I think that they'll enforce the

1442
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 7: penalties a lot more. That it's not just going to

1443
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 7: be fine, it will be draft picks. I don't think

1444
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 7: there's going to be a relegation European style, but I

1445
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 7: think they could add a mechanism, you know, kind of

1446
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 7: like the second Apron rules that if you go over

1447
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 7: spending women, all of a sudden, you don't have a

1448
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 7: mid level. I could see things like that being passed

1449
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 7: to try to curb it.

1450
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so crazy to kind of wrap your

1451
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 3: head around everything that's been going on leading up to

1452
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 3: this week. I want to go back to All Star

1453
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 3: Game weekend, the dunk contest that's tonight. It's really lost

1454
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,439
Speaker 3: a bit of its I don't want to say it's

1455
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 3: lost it's luster, but it's like it hasn't been the

1456
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 3: same in probably like a decade. What do you think

1457
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 3: the league can do or is it even should they

1458
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 3: even do anything to make it must watch TV again?

1459
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 7: No, it's it's unsavable. The last good dunk contest I

1460
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 7: saw was Eric Gordon that Slavine in twenty twenty, and

1461
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 7: that was a controversial ending with the judges and that

1462
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 7: he's never going to do it again. Mac McClung gave

1463
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 7: some spice to a book did for three years and

1464
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 7: he's not doing it. So honestly, we're gonna see the

1465
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 7: worst dunk contest of all times tonight and that.

1466
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 2: The same time, if you need a reason to tune

1467
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 2: in there, it is.

1468
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 7: I think I think Alexon version. I think they need

1469
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 7: to retire it, like it's just got to okay, and

1470
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 7: what they add, you know, maybe two on two, three

1471
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 7: on three, but dunk contests like they've done every single

1472
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 7: dunk Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, like Blake Griffin,

1473
01:08:58,680 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 7: there's nothing more to do.

1474
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 4: My suggestion of it, my suggestion we had a lot

1475
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 4: of one have a three on three game where the

1476
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:07,839
Speaker 4: only way you can score is by dunking.

1477
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 2: The dunkin game. The dunkin games don there by dunkins.

1478
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 3: But we're like, maybe that's the only thing you can do.

1479
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 3: You got it, Like you're only playing on dunks.

1480
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, that could work. As far as like the point system,

1481
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, three three could be captivating just from

1482
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 7: the competition. But the three point contest that's going on

1483
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 7: right now is literally the best event now because you

1484
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 7: see a lot of great shooters doing a lot of

1485
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 7: great shooting right but dunks are out. They got to

1486
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 7: do a one on one, two on two, three on three.

1487
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 7: And what's interesting is some players like that idea, but

1488
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 7: then some shy away from it because of you know,

1489
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 7: the social media attention and the matchup screweny. But that's

1490
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 7: what all starts should be all about. I get it

1491
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 7: in the social media era, there's more sensitivity to it.

1492
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 7: But about the fans, I think those one on one,

1493
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 7: two on two, three on three, any combination of that

1494
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,520
Speaker 7: should replace the dunk contest.

1495
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 4: Okay, so we talk about retiring the dunk on two.

1496
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 4: A player who retirement is closer in front of him

1497
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 4: than behind him. Lebron James, do you how much longer

1498
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 4: do you think he plays? And is there real traction

1499
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,879
Speaker 4: to the Cleveland Farewell narrative.

1500
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think this is his last year, but

1501
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 7: I think it's his last year with the Lakers. I

1502
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 7: think he's going to Cleveland next season to try to

1503
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 7: win a championship with Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, but

1504
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 7: also to get the Farewell and have the return back

1505
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 7: to Cleveland for a third time. I think what we

1506
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 7: saw in his most recent game against the Lakers really

1507
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 7: captured a first world puzzle that he's not the same

1508
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 7: player that he won in his prime, but he's still

1509
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 7: pretty darned good. And how do you wrap an ending

1510
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 7: to that? So I hope that Lebron maybe shets some

1511
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 7: more clarity on what his future is when he speaks

1512
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 7: before the All Star Game tomorrow. He ducked out of

1513
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 7: his availability today, interesting but not surprising because he's done

1514
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 7: that in the past year. Okay, but hopefully tomorrow maybe

1515
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 7: he's a little more reflective, illuminating on what his next

1516
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 7: steps are. But you know, he's reiterated even as of

1517
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 7: last this past week, that he doesn't know what he's

1518
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 7: going to do. And I think it's because of the

1519
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 7: fact that he's in this gray area. He's not dealing

1520
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 7: with the season ending injury, he's not being on a

1521
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 7: lottery team. He's playing at a reasonably all star caliber level,

1522
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 7: but not a championship contending team. So with that, there's

1523
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 7: not a lot of clarity on how the ending will

1524
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 7: be and when will be. But if I to make

1525
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 7: a prediction, I think it's next season in the Cleveland

1526
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 7: Cavaliers uniform.

1527
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And speaking of endings, Chris Paul announcing his retirement yesterday,

1528
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the way everyone was hoping it

1529
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 3: would go.

1530
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 2: For a great player like.

1531
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 3: That, you kind of want that farewell tour, which I'm

1532
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,680
Speaker 3: guessing he thought that's maybe what the Clippers were going

1533
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 3: to be this year. What's kind of your feeling in

1534
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 3: reaction to how this all went down.

1535
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's very bittersweet because I think the Clippers they

1536
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 7: should have handled it better. But you can also make

1537
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 7: the argument that Chris Paul should have handled it better.

1538
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 7: And you know, this is defined his career. There's no

1539
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 7: there's no dispute, and he's a top point guard of

1540
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,480
Speaker 7: all time even without winning a championship because of his playmaking,

1541
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 7: his basketball IQ and his competitive intensity. But the career

1542
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 7: arc of his you know, of every stop, ill timed

1543
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 7: injuries that have prevented him from winning championship. You can't

1544
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 7: hold that against them. But what you can't hold against

1545
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 7: him is his leadership style. It's elevated teammates, organization. Yeah,

1546
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 7: and then it's had a short shelf life and I

1547
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 7: think even if he's right, sometimes he doesn't do it

1548
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 7: in the right fashion, and that I think is a

1549
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 7: factor on why he had he didn't have this kind

1550
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 7: of farewell that he had hoped to have.

1551
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 3: So Okay, I know you said you don't think that

1552
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 3: this is going to be Lebron's last year. But if

1553
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 3: it is, does he announce it in time to have,

1554
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,879
Speaker 3: like the last couple of months be a farewell tour.

1555
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 2: Because he's a guy that deserves to have a farewell tour.

1556
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think no one really knows. But when I

1557
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 7: ask people around the league, they say, exactly, you just

1558
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 7: outlined that he wants to have a farewell tool.

1559
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 2: He deserves it, and.

1560
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 7: He deserves it. He likes gaining the attention for better

1561
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 7: and for worse, but I think mostly for better. But

1562
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 7: I think that it'll for it to be this late

1563
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 7: in the season. I don't think I think the ship sailed.

1564
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 7: I think that he'll announce it through one of his platforms.

1565
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a medium mobile, he's in Star.

1566
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he knows how to do it. Mark, We

1567
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 3: appreciate you coming on so much here. I want the

1568
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 3: vibes to be high. I hope the Dunk Contest is better.

1569
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 3: You're saying it's gonna be.

1570
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta watch it now to see if

1571
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 2: it's the worst. Is it going to be bad? And

1572
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 2: then tomorrow.

1573
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 3: Also, like, also, I know you said with the players

1574
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 3: think about it, but like, are you excited about the

1575
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 3: new format?

1576
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 7: I think it's a gimmick, to be honest with you,

1577
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 7: I think they.

1578
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 2: Go, you're a tough one. Damn. I know. He's like,

1579
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: don't even watch it, don't turn it on. It's fine

1580
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:52,839
Speaker 2: him and some of the other players.

1581
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 7: Let's go East West. But here's what I think is

1582
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 7: going to happen. Tomorrow's game is going to be more

1583
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 7: competitive because it's the first time they've done it. Ka

1584
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 7: Doctich wants to play. He's going to be available after

1585
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 7: missing last few games with his injury. Yeah, but I

1586
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 7: think it's gonna have a shelf life the following year

1587
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 7: they keep the same format, it's going to be the

1588
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 7: same nonsense. So, yeah, they got to go back to

1589
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,879
Speaker 7: East West and they don't need to play with playoff intensity,

1590
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 7: but they got to put on an entertaining show. So far,

1591
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 7: last second, that's been very inconsistent.

1592
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 3: All right, Well, thank you so much for joining us,

Speaker 2: I love car karaoke, dude.

1615
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 3: I am that like if anyone went through my playlist,

1616
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 3: the amount of range and randomness that it has.

1617
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 2: Well, now that you have a baby, you understandabulous. Oh no, no,

1618
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 2: we don't do baby music. Oh you must not have

1619

1620
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 2: She passes out immediately.

1622
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 3: She loves like anything hard rock. That's what calms her down.

1623
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 4: If you are a parent to a young child. You

1624
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 4: know the song, the happy song.

1625

Speaker 2: I have it. My sisters told me about it, and.

1626
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 4: That is all Ava my girl wants to hear. She

1627
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 4: hates being in the car. I think she's just so

1628
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 4: nosy and love to look around so she can't see us,

1629
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 4: and like being in the conference here we do, but

1630

1661
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 3: family support that we have seen at the Olympics. It

1662
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 3: has just been Chef's kiss and I'm gonna start with

1663
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 3: the brotherly love of US hockey star Haley Win, a

1664
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 3: twenty two year old defender on Team USA. She has

1665
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:39,879
Speaker 3: three brothers that have been the most incredible hype squad

1666
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 3: that we didn't know we needed. They are dressed to

1667
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 3: the USA Nines at every game, screaming at.

1668
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: The top of their lungs.

1669
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 3: Their vibes are like incredible and as the oldest of

1670
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 3: four girls, so like big family, four kids, when the

1671
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 3: sibling squad shows.

1672
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 2: Up, it's a different level.

1673
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 3: And if you're if you've seen them on social they

1674
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 3: have gone viral for like all of their hilarious crazy fits, cheering,

1675
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 3: everything going on memor And she's the youngest and grew

1676
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 3: up playing hockey with her brother so she is like

1677
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 3: the only girl with the three brothers, so you know

1678
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 3: she's a baddie. I mean, she's in the Olympics.

1679
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: I love this. I can't root for it's I know,

1680
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 2: it's absolutely fabless.

1681
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 3: And then I have a second one here Miles Garrett

1682
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 3: supporting his girlfriend Chloe Kim and Chloe's quest for her

1683
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 3: third straight Olympic. It came up just short. She got

1684
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 3: a silver medal, But what happened in that moment was

1685
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 3: so powerful. It was the first ever all Asian women's

1686
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 3: halfpipe a sodium and after Chloe's final run, she took

1687
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 3: off her snowboard and just ran to the young woman.

1688
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 3: She's seventeen years old who won gold and is the

1689
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 3: youngest medalist at the Olympics right now, And it was

1690
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 3: just like a masterclass in sportsmanship, Like that's what.

1691
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 4: So much power to be able to recognize the people

1692
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 4: above you and be supportive of them.

1693
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 3: Especially there she was there at one point too, like

1694
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 3: this girl's seventeen years need more of that and just

1695
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 3: one gold.

1696
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:12,679
Speaker 2: And Chloe saw it, and it's just like.

1697
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 4: My phrase for the entire week of Super Bowl Week,

1698
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,640
Speaker 4: we rise together as Chloe Kim knows it.

1699
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:20,000
