Not me, 30 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: because you know the way I am, right, So we 31 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: got to take it easy, all right, All right, here 32 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: we go. I'm hearing this story now, and like you know, 33 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: the NBA had their draft the other day. That's a 34 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: big deal. But in the middle of everything, who comes 35 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: up who pops out of the cake? None other than 36 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: the King Lebron James. Now he's gonna opt out. He's 37 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: gonna work on the Lakers with a new deal. You know, 38 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: I read the story and I heard about it, and 39 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, you know what, maybe it's not 40 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: such a bad Deal's thirty nine years old. I mean, 41 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: this guy haswer tremendous numbers. You know, a guy's thirty nine, 42 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 2: He's he almost average a triple double with twenty five 43 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: points a game, eight assists, seven rebounds. And look, he's 44 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: playing on a team that really and truly has to 45 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: be recreated. So if he takes some of that money 46 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: as he's opting out and maybe gives it back to 47 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: the ball club so I could build some people with 48 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: him and maybe some free agents, maybe that's not a 49 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: bad thing. I don't blame him for opting out thirty nine. 50 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: This may be the last goal around for the King. 51 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: What do you think, well, I mean, you certainly go 52 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: opt out if you have an opportunity to build a 53 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: team that includes your son. He is certainly trying to 54 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: put his son in a situation where he can thrive 55 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: and flourish. We'll also showing to the people that, look, 56 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: it's not just a Lebron and Bronnie show. It's interesting 57 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 3: to see the comments and just the nepotism stuff that 58 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: everyone is seemingly outraged about when our company has kind 59 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: of lived on nepotism and cronyism because we always see 60 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: the old adage it's not what you know, it's who 61 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 3: you know. And so as Lebron James kind of steps 62 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: into that world with his son on the team, it 63 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: would help him to kind of squash some of the 64 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 3: conversation around it. If he can build a team that 65 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: is good enough to contend for a title, if he 66 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: can do that with his son on the team, then 67 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: no one can say anything. But if it's the situation 68 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 3: where the Lakers are bad and it's Bronni and Bron, 69 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: well that's when all the other stuff is going to 70 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: continue to overshadow what has been really a wonderful career 71 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: for Lebron. 72 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: James, tremendous career. Really. I will get into the LEBRONI 73 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 2: situation a little bit later on, but I want to 74 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: talk about what I mentioned coming into the segment. Why 75 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: are these sports hurting? Okay, here's the deal, and I 76 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: no one has mentioned this, and maybe because on way 77 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: out in left field, I don't know. That's why I 78 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 2: need you to bring me back into the universe over here. 79 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: The NBA had back to back players from France one 80 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: to two in the draft and three in the top ten. 81 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: And these guys may be great players, but you know, 82 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: as fans, we can't relate. And I'm going to practice 83 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: my French on you if I can. Zacharie rial Cher 84 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: the first was that pretty good? The first pit for 85 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: the Atlanta Hawks, Zacharie real Chier. That's from like fifteen 86 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: years of French in high school. You know, I kept 87 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: on taking it over and over again. Today and Alex Cher, 88 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: Alex she they went back to back in the draft 89 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: this year. That's the second straight year a French player 90 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: went number one overall. All right, again, they may be 91 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: great players, and it's great for the league to say 92 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: maybe it has spread their wings and be an international 93 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: basketball conference if you will, Like the NFL is playing 94 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: games in Meo and you know, Brazil, whatever it may be. 95 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: So I think it's great for them, but it's not good. 96 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: It's not good for fan interest. We as fans, and 97 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong, but we as fans love to follow 98 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: a college kid's career right into the NBA. And you 99 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: know what, you can throw baseball into that as well. 100 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: These two games, baseball and basketball were invented on our turf, 101 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: on the us of a. You know, we like to 102 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: see kids that play here. Major League Baseball, A Showyatani, 103 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: tremendous play. I watched the game yesterday. Hit that home run, 104 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. But when you have a player 105 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: that you had not been able to follow his career, 106 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: a player who basically can't speak English, has to go 107 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: through an interpreter, I think that hurts the league, It 108 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: hurts fan interest. Maybe I'm crazy, Tell me I'm wrong. 109 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: No, I mean it has an impact on it, certainly 110 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: right there has an impact on it, just in terms 111 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: of you can't build the brand early by having someone 112 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: who is in you know, who has been a homegrown product. 113 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 3: You know you're talking about in basketball, whether it's the 114 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: collegiate system, and baseball is still kind of like the 115 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: collegian system are coming up through the ranks where we 116 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: hear about them. It is just a different time in 117 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 3: a different situation. And unfortunately for us with our American sports, 118 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: we haven't done necessarily a good job at the lower 119 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 3: levels with some of our players. Because if we had 120 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: American players that were good enough to be number one, 121 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: number two overall, they would have been selected number one 122 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: or number two. So what we need to do is 123 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: do a self examination on what is going on with 124 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 3: our players. Why are so many people falling in love 125 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 3: with international players, what are the international companies do countries 126 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: doing differently to develop their young players, And maybe we 127 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: need to steal some of their ideas and implement them 128 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: on our own soil, because there's something that's going on 129 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: internationally that is allowing those international players to come in 130 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 3: and to come in and jump ahead of the American 131 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: born players, and so we need to figure it out. 132 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: You know what, you got to help me out on 133 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 2: that one, because I have no idea. Because you go 134 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: back to the Atlanta Hawks, the number one pick Zacharie 135 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: Riache I love saying that. Really, six foot eight, six ' eight, 136 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: like one to ninety five, he turned sideways. You can't 137 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: even see the guy. He's only nineteen years of age. 138 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: Can you only average what maybe eleven twelve points a 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: game in France? And I don't believe the competition there 140 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: is as good as maybe some of the colleges here 141 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: in the USFA. Look, they say, he's got some scoring ability, 142 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: he's got some size, no doubt about that. He's got 143 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: to put some muscle on. He's gonna put some weight 144 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: on the guy. You know, as you say, I gotta 145 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: believe there are players buried here in the USFA, on 146 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: college teams that these scouts have never even seen, that 147 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 2: are better than this guy, zachari Ria Shah. 148 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: Really maybe. But then also the other thing that you 149 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: have to maybe wonder because the league, or when you're drafting, 150 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: you're drafting on projection, not on necessarily production. And can 151 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 3: you project that you can take this player who maybe 152 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: doesn't have any bad habits and get him to play 153 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: the style of play the way that you want him 154 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 3: to play down the line, And is it a situation 155 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: when you look at some of these American players are 156 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: you saying, man, their bad habits are so far gone, 157 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: it would take so long to eradicate some of those 158 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: issues and put them in a situation where they can 159 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: be positive. I would rather tate the international player who 160 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: may not have as much experience, but he doesn't have 161 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: as many flaws, and then fix him and put him 162 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 3: in a situation where in two or three years he'll 163 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: be a better player than the American war player. 164 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: But you got to leave. The coaching is better here 165 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: than in France. That has to be. I mean so 166 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: coaching to me transcends into teaching, and if they're better, 167 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: I guess fundamentally, then they have to be. I would 168 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: think better fundamentally here than in France. I don't see 169 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: how these guys can really make a big time in 170 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: the NBA. What was the last French player that made 171 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: it big in the NBA? I don't know. 172 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I mean when you think about 173 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: I mean going all the way back like Tony park 174 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: Arker bords DL. There have been people players and other 175 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: players that have played like patun who has bounced around 176 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: around the league like they're players that have come from 177 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: French countries that have come in and played. It's really 178 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: on us as Americans to look at our youth sports 179 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: developmental system and figure out what is it that we're 180 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: doing wrong, because whether it's basketball, whether it's baseball, there 181 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 3: is something that is going on with our sports where 182 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: our players aren't developing at a rate that look suits 183 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 3: what pros are looking for, and some of it is 184 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: at the lower levels. It has become a money grab, 185 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: you know, whether it's AAU, whether it's travel baseball and 186 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: those things, it's become a money grab because players are 187 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: playing all these games throughout the summer and those things. 188 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: But I don't know how much time they're spending working 189 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: on their game and developing to the point where they 190 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: can become better players. 191 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: You bring up a tremendous point. I mean they're playing 192 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: games like almost daily. You know, I'll turn on the 193 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 2: TV and I don't even know what channel I'm watching, 194 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: but I see like these elite games, high school games 195 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: or someone just the other night, just sc scanning the dial. 196 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: It was an elite game. And these kids will be 197 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: in high school kids, tremendous ball players. They got to 198 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: be better than these French guys that they really are. 199 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 2: And I'm not putting them down. I mean, I appreciate 200 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: you know, the basketball has been now worldwide. It's not 201 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 2: just with us, it's a worldwide sport. But let's move 202 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: over to baseball for a second. You know, I don't 203 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: see how fans can relate to players that can't speak English. 204 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: And I'm not down on them, and it's not a negativity. 205 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: It's just a question of like selling tickets. If you're 206 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: a promoter and you want to promote a game, you know, 207 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: it's very difficult to promote a game where you don't 208 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: know who these guys are. That's the name of the game. 209 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: You can't promote something that people have no idea what 210 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: you're talking about. I mean, are people going to rush 211 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: out and buy tickets for the Atlanta Hawks, because, as zacharie, 212 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I really don't. I mean there's 213 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: a curiosity factor, and if this guy is a bust, 214 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: then everybody's going to say, well, you know, let's not 215 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 2: go into national anymore. Baseball is a different deal. I 216 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: don't think kids want to play baseball anymore. I really don't. 217 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 2: First with the difficult game to play, because you need 218 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: at least nine guys to play basketball is great. You 219 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: go to the park, two guys play with a ball. 220 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: There you go. So kids aren't playing basketball anymore but 221 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: baseball anymore. They're playing basketball and football. That's where they're going. 222 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: And you know, you're a coach, you've seen that, right, Buck, Yeah. 223 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 4: But I think it's a little different, right. 224 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 3: So the rules of engagement in baseball are different for 225 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: American players, domestic players, and international players. So when you 226 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: see the mad rush of Dominicans and Puerto Ricans come over, 227 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: it's because those guys can kind of skirt the draft process, 228 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: and so as a team, it is more economical, it's 229 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 3: economically sensible to go and deal in the international game 230 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: because you can get more players, players that may be 231 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: comparable athletes, at a cheaper rate and just throw small, 232 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: like small sums of money at them and you have 233 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: them under control. Whereas if they're American born and they 234 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: go through the collegiate system, they have to go through 235 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: the draft. 236 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 4: It's a different deal. 237 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: That's why it's more beneficial, and that's why we saw 238 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 3: the rast. 239 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen the just the. 240 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: Influx of international players kind of comeing to the MLB. 241 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: It's just different set of rules, different set of rules 242 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: for signing domestic players than international players. So it's advantageous 243 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: to maybe live in that other world. In terms of basketball, 244 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: what you have is, you know, you talked about tuning 245 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: in and watching games, and I did see something where 246 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: Gina rim I talked about the difference in the European 247 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 3: model and the American model is the American model is 248 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 3: about games as opposed to practices, where in Europe they 249 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 3: played one game and they practice the other days. And 250 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: because of that, you're getting a more refined, a more 251 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 3: polished product. 252 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 4: And that's what coaches and also going for. 253 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: Right now, Okay, they make it a more polished product, 254 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: but if the guy is just a better athlete, I 255 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: don't care what you look. If I go to the 256 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: gym with you and they want to polish me, you're 257 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: still going to be better than me because you're you're 258 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: a god gifted person. You're a better athlete than I'll 259 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: ever be. Right, you could polish me all day long, 260 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: ain't gonna work, right. 261 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but at some point it becomes a skill game. 262 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: And those games are skill games. You can out athlete 263 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: people to a certain point. But now we're talking about 264 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: the best four hundred and fifty players in the world, 265 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: and when the athleticism is evened up, the athleticism is negated. 266 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 3: Now what Now you have to lean on your fundamentals 267 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: and your footwork and all those things. And if you 268 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: haven't developed those skills, well now you're just another guy. 269 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: And unfortunately for a lot of our players, they're just 270 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: becoming guys because they don't have the base, They don't 271 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: have the fundamentals to allow them to play at higher 272 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: levels against players that are just just as good, just 273 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: as talented in them. 274 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 2: All right, maybe you could help me with this. In 275 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: the NFL, when they draft a player, there's a slotting situation, 276 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: but I know what the salary is gonna be in 277 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: each position. Correct, they've drafted first, you can know with 278 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: deep South. I'm not so certain that have that slotting. 279 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 2: In the NBA, do they would you know about that? 280 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: I try to check. 281 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. 282 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: I thought it was a money money situation, is okay. 283 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: I thought it was a money situation where they did 284 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: draft the kid from France, they could get away with 285 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: the maybe paying them a little less than they would 286 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: draft that kid from the colleges here. 287 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's it's it's all the same. So 288 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: when they're drafted, it all the same, Like there's a 289 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: sliding system. They redid the CBA a while ago to 290 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: do that, so that that has nothing to do with 291 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: why it really in basketball, it comes down to like 292 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: that part of it. And I'll be honest with you, 293 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: one of the things that football is trying to do 294 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: is they're trying to cultivate in mind international soil to 295 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: see if they can create a similar system to what 296 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: baseball has done. 297 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 4: And doing it. 298 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: Like you'll if you haven't heard, there's a big push 299 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 3: to see in the NFL to Africa, and you're seeing 300 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: more players conduct camps over in after Africa. Some of 301 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: that is to give back, but it's also the league 302 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: looking to see if they can find another area that 303 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 3: can present those the athletes that they covered that they 304 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: can develop and do those things. 305 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: So it's not just okay, I'm sorry, is going to 306 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: Africa to get better athletes or to expand the NFL's 307 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: brand in that country. I mean, obviously it accomplishes this. 308 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 3: It's it's a little bit of both. So right, it's 309 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: a little bit of both. So they have what it's 310 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: called the International Pathway Program, right, And so what the 311 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: league has created is the International Pathway Program provides a 312 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: couple of practice squad spots two teams if they will 313 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: house an international player on their roster for the entire year, 314 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: and sometimes they rotate it by division. So for instance, 315 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: if this year was the America the AFC South, each 316 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 3: of the teams the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis coltst, the 317 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 3: Houston Texans, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, we get an additional 318 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: slot to host and keep an international player on their roster. 319 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: What they're trying to do is they're trying to get 320 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 3: those games, those players up to speed to play a 321 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: sport that is still relatively new in those areas. But 322 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 3: by expanding the reach not only into Europe but then 323 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: into Africa, they're expanding the pool the players that they 324 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: can tap into. And when you begin to think about 325 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 3: that part of it, that the people who going to 326 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: be left behind are going to be the Americans, because 327 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: as people become intrigued and tantalized by taking a raw 328 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: talent and developing them and being able to maybe get 329 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 3: like similar results or someone without the bad habits that 330 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 3: they may have developed while playing the game, up here. 331 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: It's just something that you want to keep an eye on. 332 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: So it's not just look, basketball has done the same thing. 333 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 3: Basketball is expanded and created like an African Basketball league 334 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: that the NBA is heavily involved in.

I'm going to say that lebron had 378 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: to move. I think the personal sums it up best. 379 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: And you mentioned this early on about the nepotism is 380 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 2: not what you know, it's who you know. Peter VESSI 381 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 2: my good friend who is in the Basketball Hall of Fame. 382 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: He wrote for the New York Daily News, New York 383 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 2: Post USA Today was on NBC TV, He says on Twitter. 384 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: Unlike many of you, I don't have the leeway of 385 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: being all that indiinged regarding the Lakers drafting Bronnie James. 386 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: After all, my father got me my first job as 387 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 2: a high school junior in the New York Daily News 388 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: sports department when he was a desk man. That's the way. 389 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: It's life. That's the way it is. That's life. It's 390 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: who you know, right, So I have no problem with 391 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: the Lakers drafting you know, Bronnie James. What to tell you, honestly, honestly, 392 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 2: excuse me, I think it's rather cool that daddy and 393 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: son are playing on the same team. It's the first 394 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: for the NBA. I got it. I think it's need 395 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: I really do. 396 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's interesting because I will I will say this, like, 397 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 3: there has been a huge issue in terms of gateways 398 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 3: and opportunities for a lot of people just because nepotism 399 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: and cronyism, meaning like guys and their buddies and buddies kids. 400 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 3: They kind of populate their employee ranks with people that 401 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 3: they know either direct blood relatives or friends of friends 402 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 3: and their kids, and that's how they kind of build 403 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 3: up their businesses. The issue is if you're an outsider 404 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 3: and you don't have those gateways, you don't have those luxuries, 405 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 3: then you kind of left on the outside looking in. 406 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: And from that vantage point, it's not necessarily a free system. 407 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: So you hear people on so you have segments of 408 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 3: the workforce who are saying, look, I didn't have those opportunities, 409 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 3: I didn't have the ability to leverage a relationship there. 410 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 3: I'm penalized because I don't know people. And so when 411 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: we talk about like a meritocracy or getting the most qualified, 412 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 3: sometimes the jobs aren't going to the most qualified. They're 413 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 3: going to the most connected, and so you have that divide. 414 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 4: There. 415 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 3: The other thing that I can acknowledge because I will 416 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 3: say this, like having kids, I will leverage opportunities and 417 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 3: relationships to give my kids chances to experience things they 418 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 3: may not have been able to experience. I think everyone 419 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 3: every parent tries to do that. The problem that you 420 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 3: have is when in Briani's case, I look, Lebron have 421 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 3: an opportunity to play with something is a family dream. 422 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 4: It appears, so that works out. 423 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: The problem that you have, though, is if you have 424 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: like nepotism running rampant, well, then you have a lot 425 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: of people on the outside looking in, and it takes 426 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: away from what we always talk about, like a free 427 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 3: and fair system that allows everyone to get what they 428 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: want based on qualifications and merit as opposed to who 429 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: you're knowing relationships. 430 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny the haters out there, it's gonna 431 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: cult nepotition. They're gonna say that Lebron James and his 432 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 2: agent Rich Paul engineered the deal that they get Lebronni 433 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 2: James at the Bernnie James on the fifty fifth pick. 434 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: That's fine. The hell with those people. I don't care. 435 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: I'm more concerned about how JJ Redditt got the coaching 436 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 2: job because he was doing a podcast with Lebron. I mean, 437 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 2: so right now, if you look at the big picture 438 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: you want to zero win, you can say, you know, 439 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: maybe Lebron did that and maybe he got you know, 440 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: he got JJ Reddick the job, and he kind of 441 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 2: pushed to get his son, and then why not. Why not? 442 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: I have no problem with that. Look, he's picked at 443 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: number fifty five. And remember in the last four drafts, 444 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: the only player selected at number fifty five to make 445 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: Ay Skort of an impact in the NBA was Aaron 446 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: Wiggins in Oklahoma City. Let's face it, he probably wouldn't 447 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: better of staying at USC, There's no doubt about that. 448 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: And I got to believe that he's probably going to 449 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: be playing in the G League for a little bit 450 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: just to get some reps, maybe playing in the Summer League, 451 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: the Rookie League this year. So I got no problem 452 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: with this whole deal because that's life. Sorry, you know, 453 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: suck it up. Nepotism. Sorry, that's just the way it is. 454 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: Look, I mean, that is the way it is. 455 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say, like second up, I mean, it's the 456 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: thing that it happens all the time, and it happens 457 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: it's kind of like the first time we've seen it happen. 458 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: But how about we think about it this way, King 459 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 3: Griffy Jr. Playing with his son. I was playing with 460 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: his ead King Griffy, Like we've seen those things happen. 461 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 3: Think about out the number of executives and front offices 462 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 3: who have had kids who have gotten there their sons 463 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 3: or daughters' jobs within either their own organization or other organizations. 464 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 3: I e. Think about the Dallas Cowboys and Steven and 465 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 3: Charlotte Jones. 466 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: Who Mike Dunley. 467 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, so it happens, and it's always happened, 468 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: and there's no way to quote unquote eradicate it because 469 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: it happens in American business on the daily. It's just 470 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 3: one of those things that we have to deal with. 471 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: And for some. 472 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 3: Reason on this side, people are having an issue with 473 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: Lebron James and Brianni doing it. I think a large 474 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 3: part of it is because it's Lebron James. 475 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: Okay, let me, you're a win on our business, yeah, 476 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: and our radio business. Okay, this is an advantage here. 477 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: And look, you'll agree I'm sure you will. If you 478 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: wear a football uniform, there's a pretty big advantage you're 479 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 2: going to get a job and talk radio. Really, I mean, 480 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 2: that's just the way it is. I'm not upset about that. 481 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: I just I see it and I understand why because 482 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 2: it brings ears to the place and people get listeners 483 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: because you have a name, And that's just what it is. 484 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: I see it on the pregame shows on Sunday on 485 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: the NFL on TV, you know, and just you know, 486 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 2: you get a kid going to college right now, studying 487 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: to become a broadcaster or journalism communications, you know, and 488 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: there's two people out there. He may be qualified, she 489 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: may be qualified, and some guy just was an NFL 490 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: player just retired. There's a good chance that NFL player 491 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 2: is going to get the job over the graduate from 492 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: the school. Just just the way it is. That's society. 493 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: Why do you even have hr people in this business 494 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: is beyond me because you're hired basically on the uniform 495 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: that you wear, right, Am I right or wrong on that? 496 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: I mean a little bit, you know, I mean you 497 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 3: heard it on the uniform you wear, and you heard 498 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: based on like the relationships and the connectivity that you 499 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: have with the people that are doing the hiring. But 500 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 3: at some point you would like to see a system 501 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 3: where everyone wants people that are qualified, right, correct, Like 502 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: that's the buzzword that we've heard throughout the American history, Like, Hey, 503 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: you want people to be qualified, We want things to 504 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 3: be equal, but it has to be you have to 505 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 3: be qualified to be able to do it. And everyone 506 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 3: kind of has a different way of judging someone's qualifications 507 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 3: as it relates to the running situation. But even to 508 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 3: JJ Reddick, people are saying that JJ Reddick is not 509 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 3: qualified to coach? Why not? Ja, Yeah, but JJ Reddick 510 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: played in the NBA for fifteen years. You're gonna tell 511 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 3: me that JJ Reddick doesn't know about the process and 512 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 3: structure of organizing practices and the x'es and o's that 513 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: are required to play at a high level in the 514 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 3: NBA just because he hasn't had a clipboard. Who's to 515 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: say that you gain enough experience and expertise by holding 516 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: the clipboard to be a good head coach. Like there's 517 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: none of that, Like we've seen this happen before. We 518 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 3: saw Steve Kerr go for me in a TV broadcaster 519 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 3: to a GM back to a TV broadcaster to a 520 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: head coach, and he's going to go down in history 521 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 3: as one of the greats. Pat Riley was a TV 522 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 3: broadcaster before he became a coach with the Lakers and 523 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 3: then rolls up the ranks to be the head coach. 524 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: So there's no right of passage to being a really 525 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 3: good coach. A lot of it is feel and flow. 526 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 3: And if Jeenie Buss and the Lakers feel like JJ 527 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 3: Reddick can develop into an elite coach, well yeah, you 528 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 3: sign him. You live through some of the growing pains, 529 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 3: you ignore the noise, and you allow JJ Reddick to 530 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: go do a sting. 531 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 2: You know, you're exactly right because Tom Brady's with no 532 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: broadcasting experience, is going to be doing gig fox right, 533 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 2: none at all. And I remember, yeah, when Boomer A. 534 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: Siasmin was called was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. He 535 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: had left. He could have stayed another year. He told 536 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: Mike Brown, the owner, I'm leaving. Why he got a 537 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: gig on Monday night football on TV. We never broadcast 538 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 2: a game in his life. I see it. That's what 539 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: happens all the time, right. 540 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: It happens all the time. 541 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 4: And so it. 542 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 3: So it's not only that, right because people are outraged 543 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 3: about JJ Reddick going from being on TV to a 544 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: plumb job, right because I've heard the conversation where it'd 545 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: be different if he was going and coaching Brooklyn. It'd 546 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: be different if he was going somewhere and coaching New Orleans. 547 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: But he gets one of the best jobs that you 548 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 3: can get in the Lakers. Okay, Tom Brady, who you 549 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 3: talked about, Tom Brady, seven time champion. We give him 550 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: all the credit for being the goat. Tom Brady didn't 551 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 3: go from the field to just being the bc D 552 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 3: level broadcast team. He goes to the top of the 553 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 3: top right away. What would be the difference, There is 554 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 3: no difference. People like to pick and choose the arguments 555 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 3: that they want to have when it comes to who's 556 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: been gifted certain opportunities versus others who haven't. 557 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 4: Look, life isn't fair in that regard. 558 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 3: Like me, everybody would love to come out the field 559 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 3: and roll right to the A level job. 560 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 4: For some, it's like that. 561 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: For others, man, you got to you gotta spend a 562 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 3: lot of time working under your craft before you get 563 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: those opportunities. 564 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 4: It is what it is You're. 565 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 2: Right, he's Bucky Brooks and many Firman We on Fox 566 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio.

You know, 631 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 9: it's a lot of people are having a problem not 632 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 9: with the fact is what happened. I think it's an 633 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 9: admirable thing. The kid is, the kid is, it's an 634 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 9: admirable decision. You know, she's done a lot of good 635 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 9: things and the Lakers are just doing those straight business decisions. 636 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 9: But you're you're not helping the kid by giving him 637 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 9: this job. You're not You're not. 638 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 5: Doing any It's like the I Manning situation. You can't 639 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 5: pull strings for a rich, rich kid, a rich a 640 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 5: rich kid and make him better. You know. It's just 641 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 5: no one has a problem with the. 642 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 10: Fact that he was drafted by the Lakers. It's the 643 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 10: problem that Rich Paul, his agent, was the only one 644 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 10: team worked him out and sons, and they were telling 645 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 10: him that he's going to go to Australia rather than 646 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 10: play with them. So just just respect the process and 647 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 10: have this kid go through it instead of just saying, well, 648 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 10: I'm going to take my ball and go to Australia. Listen, 649 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 10: he probably would have benefited by going to Australia. But 650 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 10: Lebron's going to take a three year contract anyway. 651 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 5: He's going to get what he wants. They're they're going 652 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 5: to play together. But if you look at the guys 653 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 5: that were drafted next to Bronnie, I mean, you got 654 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 5: David McKellar at the University of Kansas, who is a 655 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 5: borderline All American. It's not even close. 656 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: To but here Steve. He's going to play in the 657 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: G League. I promise he'll be most of the season 658 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 2: in the G League. And look, I commend them. I 659 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: think it's great. I mean that's what Lebron wanted. I 660 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 2: think it's kind of neat as I said that he's 661 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 2: gonna play with his sons. No Fanzo Butts, even if 662 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: it was orchestrated by Rich Paul or Lebron or wherever 663 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: it may be, who cares. I think it's a great thing. 664 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 2: First father son in the NBA. Let him go, Steve, 665 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: have a good one, because I want to talk to 666 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: my man over here Bucky for a second. Because John 667 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: Calla Perry was on TV for the draft the other night. 668 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 2: Why he even showed up is beyond me, because you know, 669 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: after looking at the draft picks and this former coach 670 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 2: at University of Kentucky, he had a couple of lottery 671 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: picks in reached Shepherd he was drafted number three and 672 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 2: Rob Dillingham drafted number eight. Okay, that's great that he's 673 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: producing a lot of NBA players out of the UK. 674 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: Now he's at Arkansas. Okay, that's the seventh time in 675 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: Kentucky program history that two players were taken in the 676 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: first ten picks. Again, pretty neat for the Kentucky Wildcats. 677 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: But get this one. Cal Parry had Shepherd and dealing 678 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 2: him make a combined six starts last year. Oh my goodness. 679 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 2: Maybe that's why I lost to Oakland in the NCAA Tournament, 680 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: and maybe that's why he's not coaching Kentucky anymore and 681 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 2: he's done in Arkansas. How do you like that? 682 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 3: I would say this. I would say that John caler 683 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: Pari is one of the best recruiters. He's one of 684 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 3: the best player developers that you will find. What John 685 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 3: caler Pari has done, he's made it a personal mission 686 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,479 Speaker 3: to take players and help them become NBA players. And 687 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 3: he's done that. I would say maybe at the risk 688 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 3: of not building the best teams that he could have 689 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 3: built and established at uk and some other places. What 690 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 3: he has to decide is what is his life mission. 691 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 3: Is his mission to chalk up wins, win titles for 692 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 3: his respective school, or is it to continue to help 693 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 3: young people reach their individual dreams of playing in the NBA. 694 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 3: Because if he wants to do that, he'll continue to 695 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: do the things that he didn't. But if he wants 696 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 3: to build the best team, that model has to change 697 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 3: going forward. When you look at the way Yukon has 698 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 3: done it doing the older players, players that have either 699 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 3: been developed or transferred in that are four or five 700 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 3: six year players. 701 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 4: Sometimes if you're. 702 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 3: Doing it that way, well then that's a completely different 703 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 3: business model than the one that he's adopted for the 704 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 3: last fifteen years. 705 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 2: Right, And he goes out there Bangal's chest saying, look, 706 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 2: I produce more millionaires in the Commonwealth of Kentucky than 707 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 2: anybody else. And that's great, you know, and I'm happy 708 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 2: for these kids that have gone to the next level. 709 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 2: But you know, he's really not paid to do that, 710 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 2: and fans don't care about that. They want championships. They 711 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: don't want to see Kentucky loose to Oakland and Saint 712 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 2: Peter's in opening rounds of the njAA tournament. And maybe 713 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 2: that's why he's out of here. 714 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 4: Maybe that is why he's out of there. 715 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 3: I mean, look, Kentucky fans have expectations no different than 716 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 3: North Carolina fans and the like. And you want to 717 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 3: produce it, you need to produce at a high level 718 00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 3: and kind of do those things. But he does have 719 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 3: to make a decision because to win the NCAA tournament, 720 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 3: it's a different blueprint than the blueprint that he's currently 721 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 3: using where he's having these young players that are phenomenal 722 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 3: young players, but in the tournament, it's about age and experience, 723 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 3: you know, that expertise that has been cultivated on the 724 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 3: basketball floor by working together, by logging so many hours 725 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: as a team, that what he has been doing that 726 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 3: doesn't work anymore. He has to figure out what is 727 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 3: important for him? Is it winning championships? Was to continue 728 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 3: to elevate young players to have an opportunity to play 729 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 3: in the NBA. 730 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: You're exactly right. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Firmer, whel 731 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sonday on Fox Sports Radio. The answer man 732 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 2: is here. Who is it? As Bucky? Is next as 733 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 2: Bucky right around the corner. That's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy 734 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 2: furmerwehel Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. I will 735 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 2: lie from the Ti Rock dot Com studios. And of 736 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 2: course it's that time, so let's do it. It's time 737 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 2: for ask Bucky. Let's do it right now? All right, 738 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 2: bucket ready? Yeah, you're ready? Oh, it's ready. Wats on 739 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 2: the NBA's French connection in this year's draft. 740 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 3: Look, man, I think it speaks to just how much 741 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 3: the game has grown outside of USA. You've seeing a 742 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 3: lot of young players that are playing in the European 743 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 3: leagues who are being able to get it done. They 744 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 3: have a developmental model that works to fundamentally sound and 745 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 3: teams are intrigued by that. And so until the Americans 746 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 3: catch up and can match what the European players are 747 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 3: offering in terms of their individual fundamental skill sets. It's 748 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 3: going to continue to be a parade of international players 749 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 3: walking across the stage. 750 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,959 Speaker 2: There you go. Okay, Now, the Lakers drafted Bronnie James, 751 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 2: Lebron's son picked number fifty five. Was that a move 752 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 2: do you believe directed by the King himself? 753 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 3: Look, I won't say it was directly a thing that 754 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 3: was done at Lebron James stuff, but I think he 755 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 3: has been vocal enough that he wanted to play with 756 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 3: his kid, and I think they certainly knew that. And 757 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 3: they also knew that if they draft him, it's unlikely 758 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 3: that he's going to depart as a free agent. So yeah, 759 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 3: I won't say that the King ordered it, but he 760 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 3: certainly hitted and nudged at it enough. 761 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 2: All Right, this is an unbelievable situation. I can't believe 762 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 2: we're even talking about it. However, how real is moving 763 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 2: to the state of Kansas with a new stadium for 764 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs. 765 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 4: I think it's very real. 766 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, if they can't get a new 767 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 3: stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, why not take it to 768 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: KSEK and see if you can figure out a way 769 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 3: to get it done. Look, they've offered everything. They're back 770 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: to back champions, and the fact that the town won't 771 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: step up and give them what they want. I think 772 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 3: if you're the owner, Clark Hunt, it's your job and 773 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 3: duty to look elsewhere. You're not moving them out the market, 774 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 3: but you certainly don't you have the right to take 775 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 3: him across town and across state lines. 776 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 2: Interesting. I hate to see that happen to the fans 777 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 2: at least anyway. Okay, let's go back to the NBA 778 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 2: and the NBA draft. Duke's Kyle Philipowski. He dropped to 779 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 2: the thirty second pick, not because of his talent, but 780 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 2: because of social media. He's dating a woman five years 781 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: his senior. Your thoughts, because I just can't believe that 782 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 2: this personal garbage is more important than his skill set. 783 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, it's a long twisted story, and 784 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 3: who knows how much she says stuff is spread in there. 785 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 3: But I can tell you, as a scout like you do, 786 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 3: dig into the details when it comes to someone's background 787 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 3: in personal life. And if you believe that the personal 788 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 3: life is going to be loaded with distractions, that's going 789 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 3: to prevent Philapowski from being the best player that he 790 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 3: can be. It certainly can look effect negatively impact his 791 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 3: draft stock. Now we don't know if that's the real 792 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 3: reason why he slid out of the first round, but 793 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 3: it's not uncommon for people to fall based on some 794 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: of the things that are in their background because that 795 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 3: is a part of their basketball character because you have 796 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 3: to deal with their stuff. How is it going to 797 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 3: impact the way they play and perform? 798 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: Okay, so part A to that question would be, well, 799 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 2: that hurt Bill Belichick inting a coaching job because he's 800 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 2: dating a twenty four years cheerleader. 801 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 3: I mean it might, Like, let's look at it this way. 802 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 3: There's no reason you can tell me why Bill Belichick 803 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 3: shouldn't have got a coaching job this last cycle. So 804 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 3: with his age, that's that part of it, because he's 805 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 3: seventy seventy plus. Yeah, the fact that he has a 806 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 3: little twenty four year older old lady on his arm, 807 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 3: I mean that's something different. But I mean we've seen 808 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 3: older gentlemen have younger wives and girlfriends before, So I 809 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 3: don't think that will impact that. I think the age 810 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 3: itself is more so the concern for him than the 811 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 3: other stuff. 812 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 2: I know, Like can say, is you go coach you go, 813 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 2: all right, next, Cleveland Cavaliers. They've drafted in the NBA 814 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 2: draft this year without even having a new coach. How 815 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 2: small a move is that. 816 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 3: I think it's hard for basketball and baseball they operate differently. 817 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 3: I can't imagine operating and running a football team without 818 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 3: the coach's input. Ultimately, in sports, the front office job 819 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 3: is depict the players and to maintain the viability of 820 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 3: the franchise over the long term. The coach's job has 821 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 3: developed the product right now to give it the best 822 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 3: chance to win right now without the coach being involved 823 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 3: in the talks. I don't know what this is, but 824 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,720 Speaker 3: it's unusual, to say the least. 825 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't believe, but you would have to think 826 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: that even though the coach is not scouting the potential 827 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 2: draft picks, you know, he's going to mold the team 828 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 2: with the players and he has some sort of an 829 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 2: input on that. And they didn't even have a coach. 830 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 2: All right, last, but not least, we're almost in July. 831 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 2: Tomorrow's July first, and the NHL NBA seasons just completed. 832 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 2: I mean, is it a little bit too long with 833 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,959 Speaker 2: the overlapping of sports. What do you think it can. 834 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 3: Be a little long, but look, we love it. Man. 835 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 3: If we're gonna have these big deals, you get to 836 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 3: give the people what they want when it comes to 837 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 3: the big businesses in media giants. So it is what 838 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 3: it is. I enjoy it. The only month that is 839 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 3: a dead month is kind of this part of it, July. 840 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 2: It's never dead when we're talking sports on Sunday.

You see Bucket's beautiful face and he 869 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 2: has the best of everything. And I don't know how 870 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 2: you do it. I really don't. It's tremendous reading and 871 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 2: I love it. And that's why we talk about it 872 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 2: usually every Sunday. Now, last week you had the rising 873 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 2: stars on the offensive side of the ball, and I 874 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 2: think the key that I saw there one of the 875 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers was George Pickens and my correct George Pickens 876 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 2: was the guy. 877 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, George Pickinson was one of the guys from the 878 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 3: previous year who had made the list. 879 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,800 Speaker 2: Yes, right now, this week he went on the defensive 880 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 2: side of the ball. How difficult was that? How do 881 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 2: you do that? I mean, is it your pigs? Do 882 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 2: you talk to scouts? How is this list constructed? 883 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 3: Just a look at the conversations, a conversation of people 884 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 3: that you know with throughout the league, who really are 885 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 3: tied in with some of the young players. Is observations 886 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 3: of watching tape. It's also kind of just list to 887 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 3: what all you buddies are talking about. Who can make 888 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 3: a reasonable jump, looking at the depth chart, looking at 889 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 3: the situation, who came in, who left, how that could 890 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 3: increase their role? And so you do take all those 891 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 3: factors into consideration and you kind of split out of 892 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 3: the list. 893 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 4: And we'll see, we'll see if we can get it right. 894 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 3: See if we can get maybe a fifty percent hit rate, 895 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 3: that would be a positive, I would say coming out 896 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 3: of this. 897 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 2: Now, wait just a second, then you say, we'll see 898 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 2: if we'll get it right. Now, we'll see if you 899 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 2: get it right, because don't drag me in, because if 900 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 2: it's wrong, I don't want to get involved. You know 901 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 2: what I'm saying it's you. This is you, baby, this 902 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 2: is all you, and I give you credit for it, 903 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 2: but it's not we. This is a you deal. The 904 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 2: show is we and we share everything together, but the 905 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 2: list is you. All right, we do take the credit. 906 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 2: But also if you don't get I mean, I got 907 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 2: it written down here. At the end of this NFL season, 908 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 2: we'll see what's going on. But again, the list is 909 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 2: interesting because there's not necessarily rookies of first year players. 910 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 2: You have a couple of veterans. You're saying, hey, these 911 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 2: guys are going to bust out this year, at least 912 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. Let's start with 913 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 2: the New York Football Giants. Okay, the edge Russian Kavon Fiebideaux. Okay, 914 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 2: did I pronounce his name right, Fibideau? I think I did. 915 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, kave On Tippodeaux. 916 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 3: Yes, there you go. 917 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 2: Last year where he had like almost twelve sacks and 918 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 2: that was his second season. Why is he going to 919 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,439 Speaker 2: bust out for the Giants this year? 920 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 3: Because last year he gave us a little taste of 921 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 3: what he could what he could be. Eleven and a 922 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 3: half sacks came off the edge. Still kind of refined 923 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 3: in his game this year. He set up to have 924 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 3: more success because he's still playing alongside Dexter Lawrence, who's 925 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 3: an All Pro player on the interior. But now the 926 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 3: Giants brought over Brian Burns. Brian Burns, this guy looked 927 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 3: he's going to be paid megabucks because he is a speed. 928 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 4: Rusher, extraordinarrow. 929 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 3: On the other side, you would like to think that 930 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 3: he is going to command all the attention. He and 931 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 3: Dexter Lawrence are going to kind of command the double teams. 932 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 3: That's going to create a lot of one on one 933 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 3: opportunities for Kaveon Thibodeaux on. 934 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 4: The back side. 935 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 3: And he's already proven in year two that he could 936 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 3: get you double digit sacks. Those numbers could spike because 937 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 3: he has more opportunities on a better front line than 938 00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 3: he played with last year. 939 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 2: So I'm hearing right now what I learned from you 940 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 2: last week. On the offensive side of the football, A 941 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 2: lot of it is coaching and what player plays with 942 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 2: what coach who basically is a teacher and can teach 943 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,879 Speaker 2: him systems and skills and things like that to make 944 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 2: that person better. What I'm learning here early on is that, yeah, 945 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 2: Tibodeau may be a great player, but what's going to 946 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 2: make him better is having a tremendous player playing with him, 947 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 2: like a Brian Burns on the other side of the ball, 948 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 2: because it takes a lot of pressure off him and 949 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 2: put a little more pressure on Burns, but it frees 950 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 2: him up. 951 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,399 Speaker 3: Yes, it does free him up. And what you're trying 952 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 3: to do and what more teams are doing. Man, if 953 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 3: you can assemble the front line with three talented pass 954 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 3: rushes that can get to the quarterback with consistently, then 955 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 3: you're beginning to be able the kind of front line 956 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 3: that will give you an opportunity to win at a 957 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 3: high level. The Giants have that dextin Lawrence came on Tibadeau, 958 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 3: Brian Burns. That is a very talented collection of people 959 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,439 Speaker 3: and that's why it's going to be impactful for him. 960 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 2: All right, Let's move to the Philadelphia Eagles. The defensive 961 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 2: tackle on the Eagles Jalen, And again the coaching factor 962 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,919 Speaker 2: comes in there with Vic Fangio, tremendous defensive coach. He's 963 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 2: going to come down to the Philadelphia Eagles and this 964 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 2: guy last year had a decent season as a rookie. 965 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 2: But as you say, with Fangio, he's going to rise 966 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:13,760 Speaker 2: even higher. 967 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Vic Fangio is going to be interesting because what 968 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 3: he is going to do is he's gonna hold everyone accountable, 969 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 3: so a higher level of standards when it comes to 970 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 3: what is expected of them. He's also a veteran coach 971 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 3: who has seen a lot, done a lot, one of 972 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 3: the masterful play designers and schemers in the league. That's 973 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: going to give Jalleen Carter every opportunity to get these 974 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 3: one on one chances. And it's going to be by design. 975 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 3: It's gonna be by his own personal dominance of those 976 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 3: one on one matchups that we are going to see 977 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 3: a lot of splash plays from a young player who 978 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 3: showed us that he had the ability to dominate on 979 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 3: the inside. Well, now I think those skills will be 980 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 3: enhanced because Vic Fangio comes over to unlock in. 981 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 2: All right, let's move to the Pittsburgh Steels. And this 982 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 2: is questionable in my mind because he's a defensive tackle. 983 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 2: He's sixty four, he's three hundred and ten pounds. I 984 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 2: think something like that. Keanu Benton and I watched the 985 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 2: Bengals play almost every game last year. I don't remember 986 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 2: even seeing this guy play. I think he wasn't even 987 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 2: a starter, was he Benton? And he seems going to 988 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: be rolling to the next level. 989 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he will be rolling to the lux 990 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 3: level now. I don't know how many Pittsburgh still a 991 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 3: games you took in, but like he started to make 992 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 3: his mark around the middle of the season. He's a 993 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 3: guy that can jump into rotation, he can get into 994 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 3: the mix. He's not someone that's going to compile like 995 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 3: I would say, outlandish numbers. But what he is is 996 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 3: going to do is he's going to command it. 997 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 4: He's a worker be at. 998 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 3: Delana scrimmage and his effort is going to create opportunities 999 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 3: for those linebackers to run and chase. It's not a 1000 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 3: coincidence when you think about having him. You got Patrick 1001 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 3: Queen behind him. Patrick Queen may make a lot of 1002 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 3: plays and when we reround the tape, we may give 1003 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 3: Queen credit for the tackle, but the opportunity was created 1004 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 3: by something that Kenu Benton has done at Delana Scrimmage. 1005 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's move back. Another edge player right here 1006 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 2: on the Green Bay Packers, Lucas van Ness and like 1007 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,280 Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles with the new defensive coordinator of Vic Fangio. 1008 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 2: You got a new guy in Green Bay and Jeff Hathley, 1009 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 2: and maybe that's the difference. Maybe that's why in your mind, 1010 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 2: this guy van Ness is going to rise to the 1011 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 2: next level and bust out. 1012 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1013 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:20,760 Speaker 4: So this is a super athlete. 1014 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 3: And one of the things that people have a tough 1015 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 3: time with with the Green Bay Packers is they always say, man, 1016 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 3: they always just draft defensive guys in the first round 1017 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 3: as part of an organizational philosophy, and it's paid off 1018 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 3: well for them. Lucas van Ness is a former first 1019 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 3: round pick, came from Iowa. Super athlete, freak athlete. Now 1020 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 3: you want to take those freaky athletic traits and you 1021 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 3: want to put him to use and allow him to 1022 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 3: play in a system that frees him up to just 1023 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 3: go be an athlete, seaball kickball, Jeff athlete. Wants to 1024 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 3: do that, man, he does want to take put it 1025 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 3: bogged him down with a whole lot of thinking. He 1026 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: wants to be aggressive player on the other side of 1027 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmish. Because of that, with his athleticism, 1028 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 3: He's going to have an opportunity remember this last year, 1029 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 3: from week twelve on, this dude had five sacks and 1030 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,439 Speaker 3: fifteen pressures. And if you think about that small sample size, 1031 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,399 Speaker 3: you project that over the course of the season, which 1032 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 3: you can't sustain that pace. This guy's a double digit 1033 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 3: sack artist waiting to happen. And with Sean Gary and 1034 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 3: some of the other guys that they have at the 1035 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, Lucas Veneesques could end up being the 1036 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 3: biggest star of their group. 1037 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because this kid Vaness went to 1038 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 2: Iowa and that's basically a defensive school, no doubt about it. 1039 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,919 Speaker 2: They can't score a touchdown if they had five guys 1040 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 2: in the end zone. That just can't do it. 1041 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 4: That LOLd nepotism there, lod nepotism there. 1042 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 3: Brian Farrence taking calling plays for Kurt Farance, Yeah. 1043 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. I love a Belichick had 1044 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,319 Speaker 2: his son doing the plays as well, and on the 1045 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. It's the way it is 1046 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 2: in life. But I'm going back to your list here. 1047 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 2: Do you look at where they're drafted from what school? 1048 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,360 Speaker 2: Because Iowa's defensive minded. I remember Penn State for the 1049 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 2: longest time was nicknamed linebacker you. I mean, if you 1050 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 2: see two linebackers, one from Wyoming perhaps and one from 1051 00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 2: Penn State, would you go to Penn State because of 1052 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 2: the tradition and. 1053 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 3: Linebackers not always, but I mean, you certainly are aware 1054 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 3: that certain schools have a track record for developing certain positions. 1055 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 3: It's funny that you mentioned Iowa. If you go back 1056 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 3: and you look at their history, Iowa dbs tend to 1057 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 3: play well in the National Football League. I mean, just 1058 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,720 Speaker 3: going back Micah Hyde and some of the other players 1059 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 3: that have come out of there. They have a history 1060 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 3: and a tradition that works. So yeah, like you try 1061 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 3: not to scalt the helmet, but you're fully aware of 1062 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 3: when a player plays for this school, particularly if it's 1063 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 3: a long time veteran coach, you know exactly what kind 1064 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 3: of player that you're getting. Yeah, so it can give 1065 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 3: them some bonus points. It doesn't completely change the evaluation, 1066 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 3: but you certainly give them bonus points for being able 1067 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,240 Speaker 3: to play for a terrific coach and for a school 1068 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 3: that has a history of producing certain positions. 1069 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,240 Speaker 2: And the funny thing is Ohio State or the Ohio 1070 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 2: State University really does not have a great tradition for 1071 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 2: quarterbacks until maybe last year when they drafted and it 1072 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 2: worked out. But really and truly, the success that school 1073 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 2: has had over the years, their quarterbacking has not really 1074 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,320 Speaker 2: been top notch level. 1075 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it hasn't been. But it's one of those 1076 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,479 Speaker 3: things where you make note of it, but you still 1077 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 3: try to evaluate the player for the player, and it's 1078 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 3: a challenge to not allow those prejudices and biases to 1079 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,840 Speaker 3: creep into your mind when you're making your notes and 1080 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 3: you're kind of finalizing the report, but you certainly aware 1081 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 3: of it. I mean, you just got to know how 1082 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 3: it goes. 1083 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 2: Okay, now, I gotta tell you, I admit this. You know, 1084 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 2: I live in the greater Cincinnati area and I'm a 1085 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,879 Speaker 2: big Cincinnati Bengals fan. And this breakout listen, you give 1086 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 2: me a I see no one from the Cincinnati Bengals 1087 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 2: on there. B I see a lot of Baltimore Ravens 1088 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,399 Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh Steelers. And now in the linebacker position, I'm 1089 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 2: seeing the Baltimore Ravens Trenton Simpsons. So you're scaring me 1090 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 2: right here. I hope it doesn't work out because I'm 1091 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 2: a fan, But tell me about Trenton Simpson. Really, I'm 1092 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 2: a Homer. I can't help it. 1093 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:55,800 Speaker 4: You definitely are Homer. 1094 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 3: Tren Simpson linebacker steps in for Patrick Quayen for the 1095 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. Super Fast, super explosive, a guy that the 1096 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,919 Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens took a. 1097 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 4: Season ago third round pick. 1098 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 3: They gave him opportunity to just kind of sit and 1099 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 3: watch the game from the sidelines, play and contribute on 1100 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 3: special teams in those things. But now they expect him 1101 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 3: to play in a big role. When you think about 1102 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 3: what the Baltimore Ravens have traditionally done in terms of 1103 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,319 Speaker 3: developing their players, there's a reason why this team is 1104 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 3: always in the conversation, not only for the postseason, but 1105 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 3: for more. Trent Simpson is the next great linebacker that 1106 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,760 Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens will have, putting them alongside Rokwan Samoth. 1107 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 3: He's gonna play fast, he's gonna be physical because the 1108 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 3: peer pressure is going to demand that he does that. 1109 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 3: But you're also getting a guy that on tape, particularly 1110 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 3: in his college days, he was all over the field. 1111 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 4: To me, this terrific fit. 1112 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 3: I expect him to extend quickly on their defense, to 1113 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 3: be one of the stars of the defense by season. 1114 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,760 Speaker 2: En, Wow, that is kind of scary. Okay, linebacker again, 1115 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 2: Devin Lloyd Team Near and Diddy O Heart the Jacksonville Jaguars. 1116 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,240 Speaker 2: And you say he's going to benefit from the scheme change. 1117 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 2: What is the scheme change? And I will the benefit 1118 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,280 Speaker 2: and what kind of a game change are they having? 1119 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 3: Okay, So the scheme change the no from an odd 1120 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 3: front to an even front. So an odd front just 1121 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 3: basically tells you that they're putting the nose tackle right 1122 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 3: over top of the center. And they were playing things 1123 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 3: that required Devin Lloyd to be what we call an 1124 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 3: off ball linebacker, meaning he was never on the ball. 1125 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 3: He didn't walk up and challenge tight ends. He was 1126 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,720 Speaker 3: just off the ball one hundred percent of the time. 1127 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 3: Now they're going to more of a four man scheme 1128 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 3: and they're going to have him in the mix a 1129 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 3: little bit as SAM linebacker. 1130 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 4: And so the SAM linebacker sometimes. 1131 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 3: Will require you to get at the line of scrimmage 1132 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 3: and bang up the tied end. He has the skills 1133 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 3: to do that. Also, by moving to a four man front, 1134 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,319 Speaker 3: they may be able to slide him in as a 1135 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 3: designated pass rusher. On occasion and allow him to get 1136 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 3: after the quarterback. When you go back and look at 1137 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 3: how he played at Utah, this is what he did 1138 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 3: when he was defensive player of the Year his final 1139 00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 3: season at Utah. He gave you splash plays from the 1140 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, sacks, tackles for lost interceptions, big hits, 1141 00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 3: all those things. His evolving role and Jacksonville could allow 1142 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,799 Speaker 3: him to reprise the role that he played so successfully 1143 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 3: at Utah. 1144 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,840 Speaker 2: Well, you sound excited about that. You know, it's funny. 1145 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 2: When you mentioned the lineman, you're giving me the height 1146 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 2: and weight. Okay, when you mentioned me the linebackers, you're 1147 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 2: not really that concerned with the size. Is that true 1148 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:15,799 Speaker 2: or no? 1149 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,880 Speaker 3: It's different now because the league is so much of 1150 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 3: a passing league that it can't be about like the big, 1151 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 3: lumbering linebackers that we had in yesteryear. If you have 1152 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 3: that kind of player, and now you got to deal 1153 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 3: with Christian McCaffrey coming out the backfield. Now you have 1154 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 3: to deal with Alvin Kamara and some of the other 1155 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,879 Speaker 3: young guys. You have to deal with Devin h Chan 1156 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 3: from Miami. The change of pace back that can put 1157 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 3: the ball in the paint from anywhere on the field. 1158 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 3: You have to put a premium on athleticism and speed 1159 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 3: at the position more so than back, even though they 1160 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 3: got to be able to deal with the run. Man, 1161 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 3: it's hard to play with a big, slow team on defense. 1162 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 2: I hear you, Okay, moving to the cornerback right now, 1163 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 2: We've got to get some speed over there. You're saying, 1164 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,720 Speaker 2: this kid's going to be a superstar New England Patrios 1165 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez, tell me about this guy. 1166 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, Christian Zalas is a great one. I mean he's 1167 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,959 Speaker 3: a great one because like high waight speed he has. 1168 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 3: He has the instincts and awareness to to make plays 1169 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 3: on the ball. 1170 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 4: He can do it from off, he can do it 1171 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 4: from press. 1172 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 3: He has a toolbox that is expansive, like I mean, 1173 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 3: it's floaded with all kinds of tricks and gadgets in 1174 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 3: those things. The only thing for him is just staying 1175 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 3: healthy if he stays on the field. This dude to 1176 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 3: someone that we're gonna talk about. Uh, there are not 1177 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 3: many guys that kind of bring what he has on 1178 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 3: his utility belt around and I fully expect the New 1179 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 3: England pictures to take advantage of that. Because to me, 1180 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 3: he's a true number one cornerback in every sense of 1181 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 3: the word. 1182 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 2: Now wait just a second, because you say on his 1183 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 2: resume here that he's got ballerina like feet. If someone 1184 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 2: told me that I had ballerina like feet, I smack 1185 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 2: you in the face. I don't want to have ballerina 1186 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 2: type feet. 1187 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 3: Really, you know you don't. You don't think ballerina is 1188 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 3: a graceful and nimble as they bounce. If you're not, 1189 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 3: you've not seen the nutcracker. You've never seen the nutcracker. 1190 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 3: You've never seen them bounce. I mean, like that part 1191 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 3: of the deal. 1192 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 2: It makes me cringe when I see them standing on 1193 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 2: their toes. I mean it really does. I mean I 1194 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 2: don't know how they do it. But there's gotta be 1195 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 2: another term you could have used instead of ballerinia type, 1196 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 2: just a light on his feet. Maybe I don't know 1197 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 2: the baleria I gave you. 1198 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 3: I gave you, I gave you the visual you talked 1199 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 3: about how hard it is to be on your toes. Yes, 1200 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 3: how to do please? Yes, Like we're talking about cringing, 1201 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 3: we're talking about we're talking about all of these things 1202 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 3: that would enable him to be a great player. 1203 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 4: Because he is so nimble. 1204 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 2: Wow, I just I don't want to talk about that anymore. 1205 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 2: Going back to cornerback again, you know, the the good 1206 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 2: teams get even better. You got Joshua Williams on the 1207 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. Why can't get throwing a Cincinnati Bengal guy? 1208 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 2: This guy cornerback for the chief Joshua Williams. Tell me 1209 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 2: about this guy and he's no kid. He's twenty four. 1210 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 4: No, he's not a kid. 1211 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 3: Uh small school standout, played at uh Favbeld State University. 1212 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 3: Shout out to fabel ste That's where my mom went 1213 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 3: to school. So I appreciate that he's a Bronco. The 1214 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,359 Speaker 3: other part is he played back to back years he's 1215 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 3: been on the field when this team has won Super 1216 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,840 Speaker 3: Bowl titles. That experience having to be in high leverage 1217 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 3: situations as a young player man, that is significant. That 1218 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 3: gives him an advantage when it comes to stepping in. 1219 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 3: But not only that he'll step in for the Jerry Snead, 1220 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 3: but he has a guy that he's playing opposite in 1221 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 3: Trent McDuffie that is one of the best in the business, 1222 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 3: not only as a playmaker but in terms of his 1223 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 3: IQ and communication skills. That's gonna help Williams play at 1224 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 3: a high level. I just love this combination and what 1225 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,480 Speaker 3: it could be. I think by the end of the season, 1226 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about this combination. Man, one of the 1227 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 3: best in the business. 1228 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 2: Wow, okay, we got three more ago, another cornerback again Pittsburgh. 1229 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 2: Steele is how do you like this? I mean the 1230 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 2: moving I mean they really are Joey Porter chewing. I'm 1231 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 2: not surprised about this. I mean, really and truly, but 1232 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 2: he was pretty good with his second year, but he 1233 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 2: was pretty good last year. He really was. Joey Porter Jr. 1234 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 3: Pazy's son j like son of the name say Joey Porter, 1235 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 3: who was a long time dominant player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1236 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 3: Joey Porter Junior to me was a bit of a surprise. 1237 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 3: You talk about second round pick taking him out of 1238 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 3: Penn State. When you watch them at Penn State, I 1239 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 3: thought there were some limitations to his game. Thought he 1240 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 3: kind of played best just at the line of scrimmers. 1241 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 3: Didn't know about the speed factor. He goes to Pittsburgh 1242 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 3: and to his credit, Man, he has developed. 1243 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 4: He is a really good player. 1244 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 3: He took over the number one role for them about 1245 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 3: midway through and Mike Tomlin let him run with it. 1246 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 3: And he's a feisty competitor. He doesn't give up on downs. 1247 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 3: He's gonna challenge any and everybody that he walks out 1248 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,800 Speaker 3: opposite up. And I love that and I think it 1249 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 3: only gets better from year one of year two is 1250 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 3: when you typically experience your biggest jump in terms of 1251 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 3: your development. If that happens for him, we're going to 1252 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 3: be talking about this dude as a Pro Bowl player. 1253 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, it's not fair moving to the safety position. 1254 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 2: You got the guy in the San Francisco forty nine. 1255 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 2: There's another great team. They're gonna get even better Gerra Brown. 1256 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, last year he was a part 1257 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 2: time starter, had a couple of interceptions, and now they're 1258 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 2: moving him into I guess they got a new scheme too. 1259 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 2: I think eventually, don't they. 1260 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Yarry Brown, they're gonna go back to doing 1261 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 3: some of the things. You got to remember, this dude 1262 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,440 Speaker 3: was called the takeaway King when he was. 1263 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 4: In Penn State. 1264 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 3: This dude dominated at Penn State in terms of taking 1265 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 3: the ball away. I think he was responsible for sixteen 1266 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 3: takeaways during his time at Penn State. He goes immediately 1267 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 3: to the Niners and he produces at the same level. 1268 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 3: Had three interceptions, two incand season one in the postseason. 1269 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 3: Moves around well, good instincts, awareness. It's gonna be interesting 1270 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 3: how they use him. I just know when you have 1271 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 3: someone in your secondary that is really comfortable getting the 1272 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 3: hands on the ball, you try to unlock them and 1273 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 3: allow them to really see it and get it. This 1274 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 3: system will enable him to have more opportunities on the ball. 1275 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 3: And he's going to go get the football. 1276 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 2: It's been proved last but not least again. Your team, 1277 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Cisco kid, Andre Cisco, all right, 1278 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 2: tell me about him because he's gonna do well again 1279 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 2: in that new scheme. 1280 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. One of my favorites, and he was one of 1281 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 3: my favorites going all the way back to his time 1282 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 3: at Syracuse where he had thirteen career interceptions. Just as 1283 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 3: a knack and a feel for it. And what you 1284 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,439 Speaker 3: want to do is guys who have a feel for 1285 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,360 Speaker 3: the game, you want to unlock them, meaning you want 1286 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 3: to have a system in place where you can challenge 1287 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 3: them through film setting those things to understand the tendencies 1288 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 3: and how the game will be played from the opponent, 1289 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 3: and then you free them up from time to time 1290 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 3: to hey, man, go make a play. And that takes 1291 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 3: a combination of experience and expertise to know when I 1292 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 3: can make a play and when I need to lay back. 1293 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 3: Got to feel like going into his fourth year, he 1294 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 3: understands the game now where hey, if he has more 1295 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 3: opportunities to make place, he's gonna make a ton of place. 1296 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 3: He can get his hands on a lot of balls. 1297 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 3: Seven interceptions over the last two years. I expect that 1298 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 3: number to continue to grow. 1299 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 2: As always a job well done.

And I want to ask 1326 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 2: the question the NFL Sunday Ticket, if anybody gets that, 1327 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 2: raise your hand, if you pay for that, I want 1328 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 2: to know, because we're going to tell you about this lawsuit. 1329 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 2: What really happened years buck nine years for the Sunday 1330 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 2: Ticket subscribers to see their day in court. Happened the 1331 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 2: other day. The lawsuit accuses the NFL and its network partners, 1332 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 2: that being CBS and Fox, of violating anti trust rules 1333 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 2: to sell Sunday ticket at an inflated price. Oh wow, surprising. Uh. 1334 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 2: The league argues that the Sunday ticket, with each team 1335 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 2: getting about sixty two million, it falls under the anti 1336 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 2: trust exemption from the Act that was pushed by the 1337 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 2: former commissioner, the late Great Pete Roselle. So what about you. 1338 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 2: If the NFL loses this case, you then YouTube sport 1339 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 2: Sunday ticket could change. But first there's going to be 1340 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 2: some appeal. So remember you're not going to get the 1341 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 2: money back that quickly. Right. Do you get Bucky Brooks? 1342 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 2: Do you get Sunday ticket? Uh? 1343 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've always gotten Sunday ticket. Part of it was 1344 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 3: because it was when it was like Sunday ticket through DirecTV. 1345 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 3: It was part of like a disc kind of thing 1346 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 3: that we can get as an employer. But yeah, really 1347 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 3: expensive though, really pricey. Love watching it, have any access, 1348 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,120 Speaker 3: but kind of pricey. 1349 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,120 Speaker 2: Well it's amazing, you know. According to statistics here, more 1350 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 2: than two point four million residential subscribers, forty eight thousand 1351 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 2: businesses that brought the package from the seventeenth of June 1352 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 2: and twenty eleven to February seventh, twenty twenty three. They're 1353 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 2: included in this lawsuit, but maybe they're going to opt out. 1354 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 2: Who knows. If they win, the NFL could owe twenty 1355 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 2: one billion dollars in damages since federal anti trust law 1356 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,080 Speaker 2: allows for triple the damage is sustained. But you know, 1357 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 2: it's not going to happen for a while, and there's 1358 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,920 Speaker 2: gonna be back and forth. There's gonna be appeals. So 1359 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 2: I don't have your hand out just yet. I don't 1360 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 2: think it's going to happen to you. 1361 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,680 Speaker 4: I don't know, like like this is. This is tricky. 1362 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 3: They won the thing, which was huge, and so the 1363 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 3: appeals and stuff. But now with all the things that 1364 01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,680 Speaker 3: are going down on the court, I think it's harder 1365 01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 3: to get done. But I think it's a huge win initially. 1366 01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 3: We'll see if they ever get what they're demanding. 1367 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 2: No, right, I don't think it's going to happen. It's 1368 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 2: gonna be ongoing. But I never for some reason, I 1369 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 2: never got the Sunday ticket. You know, to be honest, 1370 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 2: I'm pretty stupid. Tell me what the Sunday ticket actually is. 1371 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,360 Speaker 3: So it's an opportunity to watch every game and market 1372 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 3: out of market game. They also have some other things 1373 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 3: where they have mixed channels and Red Zone channel where 1374 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 3: you can watch the ad the red every time they penetrate. Yeah. So, 1375 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,960 Speaker 3: I mean there are a bunch of different things that 1376 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 3: you can watch, but the main thing is you can 1377 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,720 Speaker 3: watch your favorite team. So if you're a Cincinnati Bingles team, 1378 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,200 Speaker 3: they're not playing in an area, you can't catch them 1379 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 3: on the tube. You can watch them play the Seattle 1380 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 3: Seahawks on direct TV. That used to be the model, 1381 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 3: and so it gave you an opportunity to see your 1382 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 3: team every week, and you weren't at the mercy of 1383 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 3: the local markets see down. 1384 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,000 Speaker 2: I don't understand because I live, as I say, in 1385 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,360 Speaker 2: the greatest Cincinnati area. Every home game is on TV 1386 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 2: and every away game is on local over the r TV, 1387 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 2: which you don't have to pay for. I don't understand that. 1388 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, but what if I lived in Cincinnati, but I'm 1389 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 3: not a Cincinnati Bingles fan. I don't want to see 1390 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 3: the Bengals. 1391 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 4: I don't want to see the Bengals every week. I 1392 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 4: have to move there for work. 1393 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 3: Like I'm working for Proctor Gamblo somewhere there that process 1394 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 3: me in Cincinnati, but I'm a long time Tampa Bay 1395 01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,560 Speaker 3: Buccaneers fan. I want to see them, and so it 1396 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 3: gives me the opportunity to watch my favorite team no 1397 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 3: matter where I'm at. 1398 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 2: And that's funny because prior to the Bengals coming into 1399 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,320 Speaker 2: the existence in nineteen sixty eight, most of the people 1400 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 2: in the greatest Cincinnati area were Cleveland brown fans. And 1401 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,440 Speaker 2: if you go up the road from Cincinnati about fifty 1402 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 2: sixty miles, which is Dayton, Ohio, I believe the Dayton 1403 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 2: local market carries the Browns games over the Bengal games. 1404 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 2: That's kind of strange, really. 1405 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised because they have all these 1406 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 3: different territorial splits. 1407 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they should do all right, Okay, so now we 1408 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 2: see so in other words, if you're a Sunday ticket holder, 1409 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 2: don't be shopping heavily right now. Don't be racking up 1410 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 2: that credit card because I'm not so certain you're going 1411 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 2: to be getting that money back anytime soon. So just 1412 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 2: a word to the wise. That's what we're doing. That 1413 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 2: all right, we move on. He's Bucky Brooks.

So take it easy, to 1481 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 2: have a drink. Relax, Okay, But Bucky, after all these years, 1482 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 2: I figured it out. You know, I love sports. I 1483 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 2: worked with sports, talk about sports with you, and I 1484 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 2: figured it out. Why you don't see the NFL giving 1485 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,240 Speaker 2: out free hats of free footballs or dala hot doorgs. 1486 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 2: They don't have to do it. But when I was 1487 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 2: a pr man for racetracks, I did stunts. Why we 1488 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 2: needed them. We needed to get the attention, We needed 1489 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 2: to get people through the gates. As matter of fact, 1490 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 2: when I was working at Latonia Race Course in Florence, Kentucky, 1491 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 2: I had Chris Collinsworth race Mister Hurry. Mister Hurry was 1492 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 2: a thoroughbred horse who was owed for one hundred as 1493 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 2: a thoroughbred racing at a race and O obviously Collinsworth 1494 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 2: lost that race, but we got pressed. We got a 1495 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 2: big crowd for that deal. When I was at Monticello 1496 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 2: Raceway in upstate New York, Monticella, New York, I had 1497 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 2: two elephants racing on a track. I got a lot 1498 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 2: of people there to come in. And when I was 1499 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 2: a pr guy for the four loada Dale Striker soccer 1500 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 2: team in the North American Soccer League, we were on 1501 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 2: a four to five game losing streak. I had a 1502 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,680 Speaker 2: team psychiatrist talk to the team. You know what, we 1503 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,799 Speaker 2: made the front page of the four Load of Dale News. 1504 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 2: So you got to do stunts when the team needs it. 1505 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,800 Speaker 2: That's basically it. NFL doesn't need it all right, But 1506 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,120 Speaker 2: now I read this one. This is kind of unusual. 1507 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 2: It's the Roto Ruda toilet row. Okay, for the Lake 1508 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,200 Speaker 2: County Captains, a baseball team in East Lake, Ohio. What 1509 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,600 Speaker 2: are they doing now? This unique seating experience. It's a 1510 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 2: groundbreaking first and minor league baseball. It's going to offer 1511 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,719 Speaker 2: fans the opportunity to enjoy the game from the comfort 1512 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 2: of DeLux High end toilets position right behind home plate. 1513 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure, Bucket Brooks. I want to sit 1514 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 2: in a toilet to watch a baseball game. What about you? 1515 01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 3: No, I don't sitting in the tilly Western baseball game, 1516 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 3: even though it's a nice novel idea. But yeah, there 1517 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 3: are the things that I prefer to do when it 1518 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 3: comes to watching a baseball game. Sitting on the toilet 1519 01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 3: is not one of. 1520 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,559 Speaker 2: Them, by the way. As an added bonus, fans now 1521 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 2: can now prove their plunging prowess in the Roto Ruters 1522 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 2: Plunger Challenge. Two brave souls will battle it out each 1523 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,680 Speaker 2: game to see who could expertly launch, expertly launch and 1524 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:28,799 Speaker 2: stick a plunger into Roto Ruters target with his score 1525 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 2: not just breaking rights, but a prime spot and get 1526 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:37,519 Speaker 2: this in the coveted Rodo Ruter toilet row Really and truly, 1527 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 2: I get a free plunger too. I'm not so certain again, 1528 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 2: I want to walk around with a plunger after I 1529 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 2: leave a baseball game. I just it doesn't kind of 1530 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 2: excite me to want to go to a game. If 1531 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 2: you want to do it, that's fine, but count me out. 1532 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,439 Speaker 2: Just count me out. It's ingenious and it's getting them 1533 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,400 Speaker 2: some press. We're talking about it here, But I don't 1534 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:57,559 Speaker 2: think I want to get a plunger. 1535 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel you on that. I'm with you. 1536 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 3: I'm with you on that.

I guess 1542 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 2: it's a it's a service, if you will. But they 1543 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 2: don't do any crazy stunts in the National Football League 1544 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 2: still be because they don't have to. They don't have 1545 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,240 Speaker 2: to do those stunts that people come in drove to 1546 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,599 Speaker 2: see the games.

I think it's 1639 01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 2: a made up name. And if you're a making, if 1640 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,120 Speaker 2: it's a made up name, he's a cheat. It's a 1641 01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 2: cheater and he's a liar. Okay, no, really, I'm not 1642 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,479 Speaker 2: rooting for him. I don't wanted to win. Brian Taylor. 1643 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:17,320 Speaker 2: Brian Roman sounds like a kind of a royalty regal, 1644 01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 2: a little bit of a regal kind of guy.

I 1728 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 2: thought he won number twenty to two in the Pros 1729 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:49,759 Speaker 2: because of Caitlin Clark. 1730 01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 6: Did you have a favorite teammate, Bucky? 1731 01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:53,679 Speaker 3: Favorite teammate? 1732 01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 2: Oh, man, besides me?

You'll make I 1759 01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,120 Speaker 2: know you'll make it. All right. We move on now, 1760 01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 2: Bucky and I were doing this for several weeks. We're 1761 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:15,479 Speaker 2: going to go through every single NFL team because in 1762 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,639 Speaker 2: the month of June, everybody's a winner, you know, everybody 1763 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,479 Speaker 2: feels good for every team. There's been improvements and we 1764 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,040 Speaker 2: talked about them. So right now this is part three. 1765 01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,479 Speaker 2: We're up to the New York Football Giants. And now 1766 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 2: you mentioned this earlier today with the All Pro Brian 1767 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,759 Speaker 2: Burns from the Carolina Panthers. That really ups the Giants, 1768 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 2: at least on the defensive side of the ball, because 1769 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 2: what they did, I think they handed over some draft 1770 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:42,760 Speaker 2: capital to Carolina, a second fifth round pick, and they're 1771 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 2: not paying much money. His deal is worth twenty eight 1772 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 2: million dollars a year, and that's a win for the 1773 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 2: Giants because they're not paying much of it. 1774 01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is. It is a big win 1775 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 3: for the Giants, you know. But here's the thing with 1776 01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:58,160 Speaker 3: the Giants. Giants gott to play better. They got to 1777 01:22:58,200 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 3: get back into the mix. And so when you talk 1778 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,160 Speaker 3: about this team, you talk about the way they construct it, 1779 01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,599 Speaker 3: you lose Sakwon Barkley, Daniel Jones coming back off the injury. Yes, 1780 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:08,719 Speaker 3: you've upgraded the defensive line, but is that enough. Malik 1781 01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,519 Speaker 3: Neighbors comes over at wide receiver to give them explosive weapon, 1782 01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:13,960 Speaker 3: but is Daniel Jones good enough to get the ball 1783 01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 3: to him? And then maybe the biggest question I would 1784 01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,840 Speaker 3: have for the team is Brian day Ball is probably 1785 01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,679 Speaker 3: highly likely to take over the play calling duties. Can't 1786 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,560 Speaker 3: he rediscover the magic that he had a couple of 1787 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,639 Speaker 3: years ago, just because it take the place. She doesn't 1788 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 3: mean that thing's going to fall back to place and 1789 01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:31,639 Speaker 3: go back to how they were a couple of seasons ago. 1790 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about Sae Kwon Barkley because I really 1791 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 2: loved it when he played for the Giants, because I'm 1792 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 2: somewhat of a closet Giant fan, grew up with the 1793 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,639 Speaker 2: New York Football Giants when they even play at Yankee Stadium, 1794 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,160 Speaker 2: and he was like sixty percent of the offense. Who 1795 01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 2: takes over for Sakwon Barkley right now? And I'm not 1796 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:52,040 Speaker 2: too keen on Daniel Jones's passing acumen, if you know 1797 01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:53,840 Speaker 2: what I mean. I don't think he's going to get 1798 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,679 Speaker 2: it done. I don't think he's the quarterback of the future. 1799 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 2: Although the way they pay him and paid him, it 1800 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:00,680 Speaker 2: looks like he is going to be their quarterback of 1801 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:01,240 Speaker 2: the future. 1802 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, they gave them, they gave them significant money 1803 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,040 Speaker 3: to be the quarterback. But that was a couple of 1804 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,280 Speaker 3: seasons ago. Now that contract looks dated. That contract puts 1805 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:11,600 Speaker 3: them right in the middle of the pack, which is 1806 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,600 Speaker 3: where he is as a player. The thing about the 1807 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,240 Speaker 3: Giants is they got to make sure that they can 1808 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:23,719 Speaker 3: evaluate and rate their people without giving them the Homer bonus, 1809 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 3: meaning sometimes when you draft a guy, you like them 1810 01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,880 Speaker 3: because you drafted them high, you invest in them. You 1811 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:33,040 Speaker 3: can't kind of separate that affinity for them, the adoration 1812 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,640 Speaker 3: from a true heart analysis, where a we didn't we 1813 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,120 Speaker 3: didn't get the type of player that we want. We 1814 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,160 Speaker 3: need to make sure that we upgraded and get better 1815 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,719 Speaker 3: at this. I don't know if the Giants have always 1816 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:44,720 Speaker 3: evaluated their team in that right. 1817 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,479 Speaker 2: Interesting, you know, I'd like to see the Giants do well. 1818 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 2: Two years ago when they beat Minnesota in the first 1819 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 2: round of the playoffs, I thought things was looking up 1820 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 2: for the Giants. Last year, they fell flat on their 1821 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,720 Speaker 2: face again. So we'll see what happens. 1822 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you really, league. They also played a tougher schedule. 1823 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 3: When you win into postseason, you you get a tougher schedule, 1824 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 3: you play tougher opponents, and so they weren't quite ready 1825 01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:07,880 Speaker 3: for that jump. 1826 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go this now, Let's go cross town to 1827 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 2: the New York Jets. The key there I gotta believe 1828 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 2: is Aaron Rodgers. Is he healthy, is gonna come back? 1829 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 2: We'll even show up to practice. These guy's traveling all 1830 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 2: over the world, he's even show it for the for 1831 01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 2: the practices. However, you know, to keep him healthy, you 1832 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,960 Speaker 2: got to bolster that offensive line. I think they did 1833 01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 2: because they signed the former Dallas Cowboy Tyrone Smith to tackle. 1834 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 2: I think they drafted a kid out of Penn State, 1835 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 2: uh fashion, I think was the guy w's gonna help 1836 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,599 Speaker 2: them on the offensive line as well. So if that's good, 1837 01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,640 Speaker 2: if they could keep Aaron Rodgers upright, you got a 1838 01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,679 Speaker 2: pretty good feeling of what the Jets doing. Well, maybe 1839 01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:45,320 Speaker 2: this year. 1840 01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,960 Speaker 3: Very positive on the Jets a lot of it. They 1841 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,640 Speaker 3: will go as Aaron Rodgers goes, and Aaron Rodgers is 1842 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,320 Speaker 3: only going to go as far as the protection will 1843 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 3: allow him to go. If he's protected, he's still able 1844 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,760 Speaker 3: to throw the ball from the pocket. He can deal 1845 01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 3: like anybody. However, if he's not protected, then it becomes 1846 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 3: an issue because he's not gonna be mobile enough to 1847 01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 3: move around and elude and you don't want him taking hits. 1848 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 3: So it comes down to the front line. If the Jets, 1849 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 3: the Jets front line plays and then they're gonna have 1850 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 3: an opportunity to get it done. 1851 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,040 Speaker 2: All right, Philadelphia Eagles, this team, but they just get 1852 01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,680 Speaker 2: stronger every single year. I don't have to get it, 1853 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 2: but they usually have like a mid season slump, then 1854 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 2: they came back. I remember two years ago they changed 1855 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,000 Speaker 2: their offense to a stronger running game, and they really 1856 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:30,800 Speaker 2: rolled towards the end of the season. So see what 1857 01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 2: happens right now. They signed in free agency a twenty 1858 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 2: six year old by the name of Bryce Huff, and 1859 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 2: they trade a Haysan a Hassan Reddick to the Jets 1860 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,240 Speaker 2: because they had to replace Huff. So they know what 1861 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,000 Speaker 2: they're doing. This Philadelphi Eagles team, they know in this 1862 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 2: Howie Rosen, the general manager, he's pretty sharp. I mean, 1863 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,759 Speaker 2: the Eagles are there every single year and they just reload. 1864 01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 2: I mean, then in the forty nine Ers and the 1865 01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, you know, they talk about the draft 1866 01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 2: trying to equalize the National Football League. It doesn't really 1867 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,160 Speaker 2: seem to work that way, because right now the Chiefs 1868 01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:09,120 Speaker 2: might be the most dominant team in any sport. They 1869 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 2: really are when you think about it. I mean, they 1870 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 2: are the dominant team in the National Football League, and 1871 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,320 Speaker 2: I guess as long as I have Patrick Mahomes, they 1872 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:15,600 Speaker 2: will be. 1873 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there're gonna be a team that's always 1874 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 3: in the conversation because they have a great head coach 1875 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 3: and a great quarterback. 1876 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:22,560 Speaker 4: Those two factors. 1877 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,840 Speaker 3: Alone give you a chance to win every game. The 1878 01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:27,040 Speaker 3: new factor in what they've done on defense, Dee's bac 1879 01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 3: Nodle outstanding defensive coordinatorybe the best defense coordinator we've seen 1880 01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 3: what he's been able to do with the young secondary, 1881 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,599 Speaker 3: getting them up to speed without kind of shrinking the playbook, 1882 01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,959 Speaker 3: but just getting them to play fast within the complex scheme. 1883 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 4: That they're in. 1884 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 3: And then it's just a matter of finishing it out. 1885 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 3: You know, it's an exhaustive run to go to back 1886 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,679 Speaker 3: to back titles, and so even if their schedule gives 1887 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,000 Speaker 3: them opportunity, will they run out of steam down the stretch. 1888 01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 3: It's really important how any manages not only they're mental, 1889 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 3: but they're physical because it's a drain. It's such a 1890 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 3: drain when you've been a perennial champion because you get 1891 01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,479 Speaker 3: everybody's best shot. There's not a week that you can 1892 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 3: step onto the field and say, hey man, we're just 1893 01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,639 Speaker 3: gonna breathe get back right. Everybody cheats you like their 1894 01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 3: super Bowl, and so you have to be ready for it. 1895 01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you remember last year on that opening night, 1896 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,479 Speaker 2: on that Thursday night, it was the Detroit Lions that 1897 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 2: beat the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean the Lions were, 1898 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,360 Speaker 2: you know, really hyped up and they had a decent year. 1899 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,640 Speaker 2: They probably should have went deeper in the playoffs. But 1900 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 2: to come on the season like gangbusters on that opening 1901 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 2: Thursday night to beat the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas 1902 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,439 Speaker 2: City Chiefs, that was huge. And again they gave them 1903 01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:35,680 Speaker 2: their best game, they their best shot on opening night. 1904 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 2: It's going to happen again this year. 1905 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 3: It is going to happen again, and they got to 1906 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,120 Speaker 3: be ready for it. They have to be ready for 1907 01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:44,880 Speaker 3: what is coming down to pipe and if they're not, 1908 01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 3: it's going to overwhelm them. And it really I think 1909 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,559 Speaker 3: to me, it's how do they finish the last half 1910 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,360 Speaker 3: of the season, because that's when the fatigue is set in. 1911 01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,560 Speaker 3: You just talked about playing late, I mean into February 1912 01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 3: back to back years. Program starts in a I mean 1913 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,040 Speaker 3: not a lot of time that they've enjoyed. So they 1914 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,080 Speaker 3: have to find a way to keep the batteries charged 1915 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 3: up and ready to rock. 1916 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, is there a complacency does that sit in like 1917 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 2: guys like Travis Kelsey basically has been running around the 1918 01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:14,280 Speaker 2: globe with his girlfriend. 1919 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,360 Speaker 3: You know, and I mean is his girlfriend? 1920 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,920 Speaker 2: I understand that, but I mean it's football becomes secondary, 1921 01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,680 Speaker 2: secondarily a secondary situation in their mind right now. So 1922 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:25,120 Speaker 2: we've been there, done that, we won a couple of 1923 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:27,360 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, we got the rings. What else do we 1924 01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,800 Speaker 2: have to prove? Does that happen with these guys? Or 1925 01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:31,760 Speaker 2: is that the coach Andy Reid have to get them 1926 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 2: in camp say, look, you've done nothing. Now it's a 1927 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 2: brand new season. Everybody's out to get you. Let's go 1928 01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:36,759 Speaker 2: and play. 1929 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, And he has to get them in line, and 1930 01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,559 Speaker 3: he has to coach them harder. And there's a way 1931 01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:43,960 Speaker 3: that you can do it to make sure that they 1932 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 3: are responding to the way you're getting after him. But no, 1933 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:49,360 Speaker 3: they got to coach from hard. They got to go 1934 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 3: hard in the paint on them to get them up 1935 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,040 Speaker 3: and going. So hopefully they can do that, because I 1936 01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:58,080 Speaker 3: would be excited to see this team reel off three 1937 01:29:58,120 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 3: in a row. Never been done. 1938 01:29:59,200 --> 01:29:59,679 Speaker 4: To be excited. 1939 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,679 Speaker 2: I love to see that. Okay, Now, this Pittsburgh Steelers 1940 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:04,720 Speaker 2: team really scares me because you talked about coaching Mike 1941 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:06,920 Speaker 2: Tomlin to me, is the first ballot Hall of Fame. 1942 01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:09,640 Speaker 2: He's a great coach, he really is. And now they 1943 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:12,960 Speaker 2: got Arthur Smith running the offense, and they got Russell Wilson. 1944 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:14,160 Speaker 2: This is gonna be a team to watch. A lot 1945 01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:16,360 Speaker 2: of stories I believe gonna come out of the Pittsburgh 1946 01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 2: Steelers camp in preseason. He goes to the Russell Wilson 1947 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:20,599 Speaker 2: Arthur Smith combination. 1948 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so, and I agree with you. 1949 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,479 Speaker 3: First thing, Russell Wilson certainly was not as bad as 1950 01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:28,599 Speaker 3: he was two seasons ago. 1951 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,679 Speaker 4: Last year was solid on tape. 1952 01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,160 Speaker 3: Arthur Smith is a much better play caller than anyone 1953 01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:36,320 Speaker 3: would give him credit for that. Overcame a lot down 1954 01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,639 Speaker 3: in Atlanta, but more importantly before then, overcame a lot 1955 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:40,240 Speaker 3: in Tennessee. 1956 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 4: Didn't really have all the weapons that you need. 1957 01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:48,839 Speaker 3: So I like that. And just overall physicality, toughness, the tone, demeanor. 1958 01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:50,320 Speaker 3: All this stuff is going to help the people at 1959 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:52,760 Speaker 3: top because the hair coaster manas it from everybody, It's 1960 01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,679 Speaker 3: going to work out well for the Pittsburgh Seals. 1961 01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:56,640 Speaker 2: Oh right, I's talk about the San Francisco forty nine 1962 01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 2: as you talking about changing their scheme at least on 1963 01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:01,719 Speaker 2: defense a little bit. Chase Young is gone, but Leonard 1964 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 2: Floyd's coming in. Is he going to be the replacement 1965 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,799 Speaker 2: for Chase Young? Kenny fill the void? 1966 01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting because talented enough to fill the void. 1967 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,120 Speaker 3: But can he stay locked in and focus enough to 1968 01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:17,040 Speaker 3: fill the void? Leonard Floyd deporting These are huge vocuancy, 1969 01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, I think it's one of these 1970 01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 3: things where you're hopeful and you're optimistic, but then you 1971 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:24,559 Speaker 3: just got to see how it plays out on the field. 1972 01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,080 Speaker 2: Okay, a lot of coaching changes around the National Football League, 1973 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,879 Speaker 2: which I'm learning from you, really makes a big difference 1974 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 2: because schemes will change, I guess, learning tactics will change, 1975 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,519 Speaker 2: teaching will change, and one of those changes right now 1976 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:43,200 Speaker 2: in Seattle with Mike McDonald helping, I guess on defense. 1977 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,480 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens there. And Pete Carroll's not gone. 1978 01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,160 Speaker 2: He's gone right now, so we'll see what happens, you know, 1979 01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 2: as far as Seattle's because there will be a new 1980 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,160 Speaker 2: look without Pete Carroll there on the sidelines. 1981 01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it will be a new look. And one of 1982 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,360 Speaker 3: the things that I could say, like annoying people that 1983 01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 3: have been around McDonald. He's one of the best at 1984 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:04,240 Speaker 3: simplifying things like making things very very complex, pretty simple, 1985 01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 3: pretty clear, detailed and digestible in terms of the comprehension 1986 01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,840 Speaker 3: that'll help with a younger team play dynamic to get 1987 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,240 Speaker 3: after it. Oh yeah. I look, there are a lot 1988 01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,280 Speaker 3: of people that have kind of been spinning by the 1989 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 3: Seattle six and I think I'm one of those. I 1990 01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,800 Speaker 3: just think the combination of what they have intact on 1991 01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,000 Speaker 3: our offense to do with what they're going to become 1992 01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 3: on defense gives them a chance to win and went 1993 01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 3: right away. 1994 01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 2: You talk about a bargain. They signed Sam Howell from 1995 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,559 Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders. He's signed through twenty twenty five for 1996 01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:38,360 Speaker 2: like two million dollars a year, which is unbelievable. Does 1997 01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:42,160 Speaker 2: this guy have any promise to be playing quarterback for 1998 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:43,760 Speaker 2: Seattle Sam Howell. 1999 01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,000 Speaker 3: I mean he has promise, he has potential. He had 2000 01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:49,360 Speaker 3: an opportunity to play last year in Washington. It wasn't 2001 01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,280 Speaker 3: as bad as like it was made out to be like. 2002 01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:53,840 Speaker 3: He was pretty fine. But for the Seattle Seahawks, this 2003 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:58,880 Speaker 3: is a perfect way to go because backup quarterback making peanuts. 2004 01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,280 Speaker 3: If you get to the point where you don't like 2005 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,360 Speaker 3: Geno Smith at the end of his deal. Man, you've 2006 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,720 Speaker 3: got a quarterback right there in place who's been developed 2007 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 3: in groom to take it over. I like it. 2008 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,080 Speaker 4: I like what they're doing. I like their team building process. 2009 01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,240 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now, 2010 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:17,880 Speaker 2: because sometimes in sports, not just football but sports in general, 2011 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 2: you have a superstar and basically he's overlooked, doesn't get 2012 01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:23,960 Speaker 2: the recognition he gets for whatever the reason, maybe the 2013 01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 2: city he plays for, maybe the team he plays for. 2014 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,760 Speaker 2: And one of those superstars at least in my mind 2015 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 2: he's going to be a Hall of Famer, is Mike Evans. 2016 01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,160 Speaker 2: Mike Evans is the only player in NFL history to 2017 01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 2: reach a thousand yards receiving in each of his first 2018 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:40,000 Speaker 2: ten seasons. Tremendous player. When you talk about great receivers 2019 01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 2: in the National Football League, he's almost an afterthought. I 2020 01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,920 Speaker 2: don't know why, but he's an icon at least in Tampa, 2021 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,320 Speaker 2: and that got him. He's going to be back for 2022 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,599 Speaker 2: two more years, So I think that's great. I really do. 2023 01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 2: I like Mike Evans a lot. I just don't think 2024 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:53,320 Speaker 2: he gets the recognition he deserves. 2025 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,439 Speaker 3: No, he doesn't get enough recognition for what he's been. 2026 01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,120 Speaker 3: He's been a model of consistency on the perimeter nine 2027 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,600 Speaker 3: ten plus seasons with over a thousand yards, being the 2028 01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 3: number one receiver facing all the double teams and tactics, 2029 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 3: and more over, of revolving door of quarterbacks around him, 2030 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 3: he's continued to flourish. That speaks to his talent, This 2031 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,400 Speaker 3: speaks to his professionalism when it comes to going about 2032 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,160 Speaker 3: his business. So yeah, there's a lot to like about 2033 01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:18,439 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay, particularly when it's the passing game that revolves 2034 01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 3: around Mike Evans. 2035 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:26,439 Speaker 2: Right now, we move along to Tennessee, and Tennessee right 2036 01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:30,439 Speaker 2: now is really and truly a different face, if you will. 2037 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:34,240 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry's not there, and Dereck Henry really and truly 2038 01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,559 Speaker 2: was their offense for the last several years. He was 2039 01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,200 Speaker 2: their offense. Now he's gone, But they also have a 2040 01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:41,600 Speaker 2: new coach and Bill Callahan and his daddy's going to 2041 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 2: be there as well, So we'll see what happens. I 2042 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,479 Speaker 2: don't know what to expect. I don't think anybody really 2043 01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:48,599 Speaker 2: knows what to expect from the Tennessee Titans right now, 2044 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 2: because I think they're going to go more to a 2045 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,559 Speaker 2: pass option, a pass offense, don't you think? 2046 01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:55,800 Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're going to lean into the past. 2047 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:57,920 Speaker 3: But I think they understand what the quarterback they need 2048 01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:02,600 Speaker 3: to dominate on the rank. If they dominate running the football, 2049 01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,080 Speaker 3: that's gonna give them a chance to hit some plays 2050 01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:08,240 Speaker 3: down the field on play action. What I don't see 2051 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,280 Speaker 3: is right now, who is the guy that's gonna command 2052 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,000 Speaker 3: all the attention where you have to drop people in 2053 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 3: the box to open up the thing. They don't have 2054 01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:18,720 Speaker 3: that right now. Running back maybe top emerges where you 2055 01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:21,040 Speaker 3: have to feel like he needs a little added attention. 2056 01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:22,840 Speaker 3: But right now, man, I think they're just gonna line 2057 01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:23,320 Speaker 3: up and rock. 2058 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,360 Speaker 2: What do you think about the quarterback situation in Tennessee. 2059 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:29,840 Speaker 3: I give them credit for supporting them, and then if 2060 01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,880 Speaker 3: you will let us believer, you got to give them 2061 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,880 Speaker 3: every opportunity to fail. So I would treat this as 2062 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:42,120 Speaker 3: a full, long, long auditionancy if you can handle the role. 2063 01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,599 Speaker 2: So in other words, you say, this Tennessee Titans situation 2064 01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 2: this season is almost like a learning experience for coaches 2065 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,439 Speaker 2: and players. And not to expect too much out of 2066 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:52,600 Speaker 2: the Tennessee titles. 2067 01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:54,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I think this are gonna push the try 2068 01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:56,080 Speaker 3: and win games. But I think at the end of 2069 01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:58,040 Speaker 3: the day, man, that's a lot of inexperience that you're 2070 01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:04,439 Speaker 3: dealing with coming up, a lot of moving parts, and 2071 01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:06,439 Speaker 3: so it'd be interesting to see how a first time 2072 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,000 Speaker 3: head coach takes over. And the fact that his dad 2073 01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,800 Speaker 3: is in the building could help him because his dad 2074 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:12,559 Speaker 3: has been a head coach. 2075 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:13,880 Speaker 4: I mean, so. 2076 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 3: His dad certainly can help him and get him on track. 2077 01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:21,720 Speaker 2: All right, Last, but not least, he took about a 2078 01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:23,840 Speaker 2: first year coach. But he's the first year coach with 2079 01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 2: his team with the Washington Commanders. Dan Quinn. This guy 2080 01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,960 Speaker 2: Dan Quinn, he's had success and also he's had some 2081 01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:32,880 Speaker 2: failures in Atlanta. Then he had a pretty good three 2082 01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:36,600 Speaker 2: year run with the Dallas Campbell Cowboys as defensive coordinator, 2083 01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:38,800 Speaker 2: and then he got a second chance. So you know, 2084 01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:42,920 Speaker 2: maybe coaches that got a second chance learn from their failures. 2085 01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:44,760 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens in Washington. But he's got a 2086 01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:48,240 Speaker 2: tough road to ho coaching the Washington Commanders, that's for sure. 2087 01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:51,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he does a road to hoe. He 2088 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:53,280 Speaker 3: has to rebuild, and he has to rebuild it the 2089 01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,280 Speaker 3: way that it needs to be done in terms of 2090 01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:58,080 Speaker 3: like toughness, physicality, effort. He has to get them to 2091 01:36:58,080 --> 01:36:59,800 Speaker 3: play hard. They play hard. They got enough talent to 2092 01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,880 Speaker 3: win games. Then it's about raising that standard. And can 2093 01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 3: you raise the standard with a young quarterback? Can you 2094 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,400 Speaker 3: put Jayden Daniels on the field and trust that he's 2095 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 3: going to take care of the football. He's going to 2096 01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,360 Speaker 3: put the team in the right situation on all these 2097 01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:15,000 Speaker 3: mixedown calls, and he's gonna make the plays that are 2098 01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 3: there to be made from quarterback. Easy to say, harder 2099 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,160 Speaker 3: to do. But that's kind of the lynchpin in terms 2100 01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:22,800 Speaker 3: of how good that team can be. 2101 01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,320 Speaker 2: Well, I think dan Quinn knows in the back of 2102 01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:28,960 Speaker 2: his mind this is his second chance, but it might 2103 01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,160 Speaker 2: be his last. So this pressure, there'll be pressure every 2104 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,320 Speaker 2: Sunday for him. 2105 01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:36,680 Speaker 3: Always. It's always like that. Everyone wants you out of 2106 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,240 Speaker 3: that seat until you out to seat. So he has 2107 01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:40,920 Speaker 3: to just lock in and focus on the things that 2108 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,519 Speaker 3: are important. If he does that, they've got enough talent 2109 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:44,479 Speaker 3: to win some games. 2110 01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,599 Speaker 2: Okay, last, but not least, Let me run this by 2111 01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:48,479 Speaker 2: it because you know you're so close to the to 2112 01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:51,559 Speaker 2: the action and playing the game, coaching and scouting, whatever 2113 01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:54,679 Speaker 2: it may be. And you talk about coaches and coaching changes. 2114 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,240 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen or been on a team where 2115 01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:02,400 Speaker 2: a coach was having difficulty where the assistant coaches were 2116 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:05,280 Speaker 2: backstabbing him and you've heard about that and these guys 2117 01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:07,959 Speaker 2: wanted his job? I mean, was there like a mutiny 2118 01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 2: on that team? And you don't have to mention names, 2119 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 2: well though I'd love to hear the names if you can, 2120 01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:14,960 Speaker 2: but I know you won't that. But but have you 2121 01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 2: seen that? 2122 01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:21,799 Speaker 3: No, I mean, not like a fool of coup takeover situation. 2123 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,360 Speaker 3: But everyone talks, Everyone has an opinion. Everyone around the 2124 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:26,880 Speaker 3: building has an opinion to think about. Like the great 2125 01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 3: teams and great organizations, those opinions are kept in check 2126 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,240 Speaker 3: because it's always about the team first. It's not about 2127 01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 3: questioning the decision. You have the arguments, you go back 2128 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,080 Speaker 3: and forth, everyone says their case, then the decision that made, 2129 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,800 Speaker 3: and once the decision is made, you go and put 2130 01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:44,080 Speaker 3: forth everything to make those things work out. 2131 01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,760 Speaker 2: So yeah, but I'm sure there's assistant coaches that are 2132 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 2: second guessing calls that coaches make. But I guess those 2133 01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:53,800 Speaker 2: assistants will you know, air that out in the coaches meeting. 2134 01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:55,960 Speaker 2: But if it gets out in public or players here, 2135 01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 2: that not a good thing, especially the teams that are losing. 2136 01:38:58,600 --> 01:38:59,599 Speaker 2: On losing teams. 2137 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:02,400 Speaker 3: Now, it's an every good thing to do it, but 2138 01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:04,080 Speaker 3: it depends on what kind of coachure and the environment 2139 01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 3: you've created. If you created an environment where you can 2140 01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,320 Speaker 3: hold everyone accountable, where you can have these hard conversations 2141 01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:11,479 Speaker 3: in front of each other, then you let it rip. 2142 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:13,360 Speaker 3: But if you have not established that kind of culture, 2143 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:15,439 Speaker 3: that thing can backfire. It can backfire you in a 2144 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:17,800 Speaker 3: major way because at the end of the day, the 2145 01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:20,320 Speaker 3: players have to want to play for you, and so 2146 01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:22,719 Speaker 3: you've got to be able to kind of tap into 2147 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,880 Speaker 3: something that keeps them playing hard because it's not an 2148 01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:27,360 Speaker 3: easy situation. 2149 01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:29,280 Speaker 4: So, yeah, there's something. 2150 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 3: About like you're talking about the community and all the 2151 01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:32,800 Speaker 3: stuff of railing behind it. 2152 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,639 Speaker 2: You know, I kind have seen that happening, And look, 2153 01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:38,879 Speaker 2: I have no evidence of it happening, or it happened. 2154 01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,519 Speaker 2: I could see that happening with the Charges last year 2155 01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:44,519 Speaker 2: with the coaching staff. Can you see if from a 2156 01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:47,120 Speaker 2: distance you can see that with that team just imploded? 2157 01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:47,800 Speaker 2: It really did. 2158 01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:50,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, So you're talking about the village, right, So the 2159 01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,120 Speaker 3: village is everything right. It's not only the assistant coaches, 2160 01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:56,400 Speaker 3: it's everyone around the building, support staff. Everyone has to 2161 01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:58,679 Speaker 3: believe in the vision that has been set by the leader. 2162 01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:01,320 Speaker 3: So let's say, hey, which is driving the program? Than 2163 01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 3: the head coach needs to clearly state what the mission is, 2164 01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,680 Speaker 3: what the vision is, and how everyone can play a 2165 01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,880 Speaker 3: part and helping the team fulfill that mission. And then 2166 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,640 Speaker 3: as a coach, you have to be on lookout, not 2167 01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:16,719 Speaker 3: from a paranoia situation being paranoid, but just looking around 2168 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:19,479 Speaker 3: seeing how they symbol seeing if all of them are 2169 01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:21,760 Speaker 3: huddled up while we're supposed to be doing something up 2170 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,200 Speaker 3: and down there, whispering to each other and saying, hey, 2171 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,360 Speaker 3: if I would do this and that and whatever, and 2172 01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:31,160 Speaker 3: so they never fully believe in the plan. It is 2173 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,680 Speaker 3: better to have a few guys that wholeheartedly believe than 2174 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,839 Speaker 3: a couple of guys that are fifty to fifty because 2175 01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:37,880 Speaker 3: the believers are gonna find a way to get it done. 2176 01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:40,120 Speaker 3: And so it's one of those things where the head 2177 01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,000 Speaker 3: coach has to demand loyalty from a staff. 2178 01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 2: There you go, as always he's the best, as Bucket 2179 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 2: Brooks giving us the rundown on what's happening in the 2180 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,880 Speaker 2: National Football League as we speak right now.

Everybody wants to talk money, 2208 01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,640 Speaker 2: so let's do that right now to Green Cabbage, and 2209 01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:05,360 Speaker 2: we talk about Justin Jefferson, the receiver. He set the tone. 2210 01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:08,760 Speaker 2: He said it earlier this month, how he signed the 2211 01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:13,559 Speaker 2: most lucrative non quarterback contract and NFL history value of 2212 01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,920 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty million, one hundred and ten million 2213 01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:20,439 Speaker 2: guaranteed for four years. Then the Jags they signed the 2214 01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 2: quarterback Trevor Lawrence five years, two undred and seventy five million, 2215 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:27,800 Speaker 2: two hundred guaranteed, Bucky Brooks. Who's gonna be next? Let's 2216 01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:30,519 Speaker 2: check the potential free agent list. Who's next? And I 2217 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:34,160 Speaker 2: think it's gotta be another quarterback, probably Dak Prescott from 2218 01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,720 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, who was small enough maybe to wait 2219 01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:38,280 Speaker 2: for these other guys getting signed. 2220 01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:42,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, Dak Prescott's gonna be the first sixty million dollars quarterback. 2221 01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:44,639 Speaker 3: So the money's gotten up to fifty five million annually. 2222 01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,120 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott is probably gonna be sixty to sixty two 2223 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:52,160 Speaker 3: million right now, just the cost of inflation, his expertise, 2224 01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:54,720 Speaker 3: he's experienced all that other stuff that he offers. Yes, 2225 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott's going to hit I mean, look, he's gonna 2226 01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 3: break the Cowboys over the cole or any other team 2227 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:03,040 Speaker 3: that he engages in. Because right now everyone talks about 2228 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,479 Speaker 3: the Cowboys having the leverage, they don't have a leverage 2229 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:10,280 Speaker 3: in this situation. No trade clause, no franchise tags. All 2230 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:12,559 Speaker 3: the big goes to Dak Prescott. So Dak Prescott can 2231 01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:14,800 Speaker 3: dictate what he wants to do, how he wants to 2232 01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:17,640 Speaker 3: do it, and where he wants to do it. To me, 2233 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 3: we've never seen a quarterback in their prime hit the 2234 01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:24,960 Speaker 3: market like this. He's gonna crush it when it comes 2235 01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:25,599 Speaker 3: to getting a deal. 2236 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,400 Speaker 2: So why wouldn't Jerry Jones sign him a month ago 2237 01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:33,960 Speaker 2: before they spa before the Trevor Lawrence Steel came out. 2238 01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:36,560 Speaker 3: Well, same reason why he didn't sign him when he 2239 01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:39,439 Speaker 3: had him on franchise tags. There's some people in the 2240 01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 3: building seemingly based on if you follow the money, that 2241 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:47,439 Speaker 3: aren't fully into the Dak Prescott experience, like that's the 2242 01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:49,680 Speaker 3: only way to explain it. We've seen lesser quarterbacks get 2243 01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:54,840 Speaker 3: signed much sooner because it's always more. Look, it's better 2244 01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:56,840 Speaker 3: for the team if you do that from a salary 2245 01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,479 Speaker 3: cap standpoint. But now, like you look in the pool 2246 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,599 Speaker 3: swimming like everybody else, it just makes it a very 2247 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:07,320 Speaker 3: challenging deal to kind of watch. But if you're a 2248 01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:09,639 Speaker 3: Cowboys fan, man, get used to looking at Trey Lance 2249 01:44:09,760 --> 01:44:11,920 Speaker 3: as your starting quarterback because that's who's gonna be your 2250 01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:12,679 Speaker 3: starting quarterback. 2251 01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:15,479 Speaker 2: You know you talked about leverage. I mean I look 2252 01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:18,280 Speaker 2: at that Prescotta. I think he's a serviceable quarterback. I 2253 01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,040 Speaker 2: don't think he's a Hall of famer. You may think so, 2254 01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,160 Speaker 2: but I don't think he's a hall of famer. And 2255 01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,320 Speaker 2: we've talked about this. I mean he gets the job done. 2256 01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:28,000 Speaker 2: In your rankinge mean you can win with him. He's 2257 01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,240 Speaker 2: top fifteen, well yeah, top fifteen, yes, And we looked 2258 01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:35,160 Speaker 2: at his spots all times, pushing it because I don't 2259 01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:35,960 Speaker 2: think he's top ten. 2260 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,320 Speaker 3: You don't think he's top ten right now in terms 2261 01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:40,320 Speaker 3: of like currently in the league, dak crazy. 2262 01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,200 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but we looked at his stats several weeks 2263 01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:46,080 Speaker 2: ago and we said his stat's very much mirror Kirk 2264 01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:50,320 Speaker 2: Cousins and Kirk Cousins to me as a quarterback you 2265 01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:51,720 Speaker 2: could win with. But I don't think it's a Hall 2266 01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:55,280 Speaker 2: of Fame quarterback, you know. I mean, and again, to 2267 01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:56,560 Speaker 2: be get in the Hall of Fame, you probably have 2268 01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,280 Speaker 2: to win a couple of Super Bowls. That's that's the 2269 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:00,479 Speaker 2: bottom line. That's the ticket, I would think. But you know, 2270 01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,680 Speaker 2: Dallas right now there is no leverage because there's no 2271 01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:07,080 Speaker 2: one behind him to play that position. So in other words, 2272 01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,040 Speaker 2: I'm looking at this way. The skill set does not 2273 01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,880 Speaker 2: have to be that strong. If you're a quarterback and 2274 01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,160 Speaker 2: there's no one behind you, you're going to get the guilt, 2275 01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:16,800 Speaker 2: You're going to get the money. It's just the way 2276 01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:17,200 Speaker 2: it is. 2277 01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:19,800 Speaker 3: Oh, that is the way it is. And the way 2278 01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:21,080 Speaker 3: that you have to look at it is don't look 2279 01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:23,559 Speaker 3: at it dollar for dollar, right, that's not fair. Look 2280 01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,559 Speaker 3: at it like in terms of salary cap persentage, how 2281 01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 3: much money of the salary cap are they occupying? The 2282 01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 3: other part is what is everyone else making? If we're 2283 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:33,799 Speaker 3: talking about Daniel Jones making forty million dollars, which is crazy, 2284 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:37,040 Speaker 3: but if he ranks at fifteen, sixteen, seventeenth on the list. 2285 01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:41,439 Speaker 3: What can you say. The money matters. The conversation has 2286 01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:44,200 Speaker 3: to match the production, and the market is the market. 2287 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,280 Speaker 3: But we can be mad at it. But obviously we 2288 01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:52,160 Speaker 3: know owners. Owners are not paying anything unless they have to, 2289 01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:55,040 Speaker 3: unless they're being made to. And that's what we're seeing there. 2290 01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,840 Speaker 3: They're being forced to put up a shut up when 2291 01:45:57,840 --> 01:45:58,599 Speaker 3: it comes to this stuff. 2292 01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,759 Speaker 2: Well, you're talking about Jerry Jones, open up the checkbook. 2293 01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:02,479 Speaker 2: You better open it up for wide receiver ce d 2294 01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:05,040 Speaker 2: Lamb as well. Last year, ce d Lamb had his 2295 01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:08,000 Speaker 2: first all Pro season one hundred and thirty five receptions, 2296 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:11,360 Speaker 2: seventeen hundred plus yards and single records in the Dallas 2297 01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:15,040 Speaker 2: Cowboys organization. So CD's gonna get his money. Dak Prescott's 2298 01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:16,519 Speaker 2: gotta get his money, there's no doubt about that. 2299 01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,639 Speaker 3: Then Michael Parsons also has to get his money. Yeah, 2300 01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:23,559 Speaker 3: So that's why maybe they weren't active on a FREEK mark. 2301 01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:26,919 Speaker 3: They know they got some whopping contracts on the horizon. 2302 01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's gonna happen real soon. I mean, well 2303 01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:34,360 Speaker 2: that in your mind happened before the season starts. I 2304 01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:35,000 Speaker 2: believe it will. 2305 01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, that Micah, I think I think the pecking order 2306 01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:43,440 Speaker 3: will go this pegging water would go Lamb Prescott Parsons. 2307 01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:44,920 Speaker 4: Parsons the farthest. 2308 01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:46,559 Speaker 3: Away from being able to hit like the market. So 2309 01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,560 Speaker 3: you take care of those other guys first. 2310 01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,759 Speaker 2: All right, And other than that, the two more quarterbacks 2311 01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:54,040 Speaker 2: that have got some big paydays as well. One is 2312 01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:57,559 Speaker 2: tur because he's entering his rookie option season and also 2313 01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:01,759 Speaker 2: Jordan Love and those those are Loves questionable, but again 2314 01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,320 Speaker 2: it's the position and he's got leverage. Who's else goet 2315 01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:06,679 Speaker 2: a quarterback for them? Two is gonna get big money 2316 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:08,800 Speaker 2: to no doubt about that. He led the NFL what 2317 01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:11,200 Speaker 2: was in his first Pro Bowl year with over four 2318 01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:13,840 Speaker 2: thousand yards forty six hundred yards. So two is getting 2319 01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,040 Speaker 2: some big money. Jordan Loves gonna get money because of 2320 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:17,000 Speaker 2: the position he plays. 2321 01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:21,559 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean he's gonna get money for sure because 2322 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,280 Speaker 3: of the position that he plays, like that's part of 2323 01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:26,479 Speaker 3: the deal. Yeah, But they still have time and they 2324 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:29,360 Speaker 3: really have time to kind of get this done. What 2325 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:32,400 Speaker 3: is great about this part of the year, and we can 2326 01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:35,639 Speaker 3: talk anybody into being could contend it because hope everyone 2327 01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:38,559 Speaker 3: is hanging their head right, hope some of it would 2328 01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:40,920 Speaker 3: dissipate as soon as we get to the preseason and 2329 01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,040 Speaker 3: he was doing we started seeing our favorite team on team. 2330 01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:45,840 Speaker 4: Like, yeah, we're not good enough, we'll do it. 2331 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, like right now, everyone has hope, everyone has 2332 01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:50,320 Speaker 3: big dreams. We can go from worse to first. We 2333 01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 3: can do it. This is our year, no matter what 2334 01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,000 Speaker 3: has happened before, this is our year. 2335 01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:56,439 Speaker 4: We can get it. We can get it done. 2336 01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:58,160 Speaker 2: And you know, if you're a Green Bay Packer fan, 2337 01:47:58,200 --> 01:47:59,919 Speaker 2: you look they're gonna say, look, we got the replacement 2338 01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:02,920 Speaker 2: enough for Aaron Rodgers. Last year, Jordan Love through thirty 2339 01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:06,080 Speaker 2: two touchdowns, second in the league only to Dak Prescott's 2340 01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,719 Speaker 2: thirty six, and he led Green Bay into the playoffs 2341 01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:12,120 Speaker 2: and in the divisional round and they just missed maybe 2342 01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,200 Speaker 2: with the forty nine ers. So I think there's some 2343 01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:16,760 Speaker 2: high hopes right now in Green Bay because of Jordan Love. 2344 01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:21,000 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, without doubt, like dear high hopes. 2345 01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:22,360 Speaker 4: It's part of the deal. 2346 01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:27,679 Speaker 3: Like they've been able to kind of separate from by 2347 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:29,840 Speaker 3: doing that. So yeah, I mean there's all kinds of 2348 01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,840 Speaker 3: stuff like this is what it is. And these are 2349 01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:34,040 Speaker 3: the conversations that they're having in front offices as they're 2350 01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:35,920 Speaker 3: trying to scrimmage around. Hey, where can we stack on 2351 01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:37,960 Speaker 3: the landscape? How can we get better? What are the places, 2352 01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:41,360 Speaker 3: positions where we need to address going forward to help 2353 01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:43,720 Speaker 3: us close the gap on the contenders? Or if I'm 2354 01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:46,240 Speaker 3: a contender, to stay at one step ahead of the 2355 01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:47,920 Speaker 3: people that are ron from my spot. 2356 01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:51,640 Speaker 2: The money will be flowing. Last question, Bucket Brooks, are 2357 01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:54,439 Speaker 2: you a little upset that you came a little too 2358 01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:57,160 Speaker 2: early in the National Football League before the real big 2359 01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:58,040 Speaker 2: bucks showed up? 2360 01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,000 Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm not upset about it. I think he's great. 2361 01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:05,000 Speaker 3: I just can't imagine the amount of casts these us 2362 01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:06,320 Speaker 3: making it. I can't imagine. 2363 01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:11,720 Speaker 2: What you're doing is unbelievable, right amazing. I wish you 2364 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:15,160 Speaker 2: know what. I'm not gonna say. I wish I was 2365 01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:17,519 Speaker 2: in the league because I didn't have the skill set. 2366 01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:20,160 Speaker 2: But maybe if I had a chance, I don't know. 2367 01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:22,880 Speaker 2: I don't think the money would excite me to want 2368 01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:25,800 Speaker 2: to play football. You know, people don't understand payday is great, 2369 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:29,240 Speaker 2: but what they've gone through they deserve every cent they get. 2370 01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:32,400 Speaker 2: But every down that you play could be your last. 2371 01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:36,200 Speaker 2: It's a dangerous sport. I get that, but it's just 2372 01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:39,479 Speaker 2: so much time away and so much training goes into it. 2373 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:42,040 Speaker 2: I couldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. I don't 2374 01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:43,519 Speaker 2: think I have the willpower to do it. 2375 01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,120 Speaker 3: Maybe, like I mean, it's not for everybody, but right, 2376 01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:49,240 Speaker 3: some people win the sacrifice, even when they don't love 2377 01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:53,000 Speaker 3: it to get to a greater end. When it comes 2378 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:54,439 Speaker 3: to like, hey, it's a means to an end. I 2379 01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:56,519 Speaker 3: have an opportunity to make a significant amount of cast 2380 01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:58,439 Speaker 3: I can do this for two or three years, kind 2381 01:49:58,439 --> 01:50:00,080 Speaker 3: of roll through it, and then I'll just shut it 2382 01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,640 Speaker 3: down after four or five. Some guys are willing to 2383 01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:05,519 Speaker 3: do that. Just kind of depends on how you are. 2384 01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,680 Speaker 2: But don't you believe most of the people in the 2385 01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:09,920 Speaker 2: National Football League are playing for the love of the game. 2386 01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:14,280 Speaker 3: Now for the check, it's a combination. You know. The 2387 01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:18,880 Speaker 3: check symbolizes how much you respect me. That's what the 2388 01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:22,320 Speaker 3: check symbolize. That's why people talk about being the highest 2389 01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:26,360 Speaker 3: paid or the top It's not necessarily like the look 2390 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:30,760 Speaker 3: the minimum difference between in football terms in terms of 2391 01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:33,040 Speaker 3: thirty two and a half million and thirty three million. 2392 01:50:33,200 --> 01:50:35,120 Speaker 3: But to be able to say that I'm the highest 2393 01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,839 Speaker 3: paid of the position, there's a different level of cachet 2394 01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:40,800 Speaker 3: that comes with that, the way people view you, perceive you. 2395 01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:42,000 Speaker 4: And those things. 2396 01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,439 Speaker 3: You want the money behind you because that is the 2397 01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:46,920 Speaker 3: fact factor. But ultimately, you play the game because you 2398 01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:49,599 Speaker 3: love it. It's too hard to play this game train 2399 01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:52,040 Speaker 3: get beat up on and do it without loving it. 2400 01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:55,800 Speaker 3: And as a leader, you're trying to identify the guys 2401 01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,400 Speaker 3: that show they really love it. Who are the guys 2402 01:50:58,400 --> 01:50:59,840 Speaker 3: that show up on time? Who are the guys that 2403 01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:01,719 Speaker 3: stay late. Who are the guys to do the little 2404 01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:03,800 Speaker 3: things in the locker room to make sure that it's 2405 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:07,240 Speaker 3: easier for everybody else. Those are the guys that are 2406 01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:08,960 Speaker 3: invaluable because they keep it all together. 2407 01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:11,200 Speaker 2: There we go, we trd to keep it all together. Here. 2408 01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:13,120 Speaker 2: We're a little late for Kevin. But right now is 2409 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:15,800 Speaker 2: it really about race? Really? That's coming up next Life 2410 01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:18,040 Speaker 2: on the Tirat dot com Studio. But first, Kevin Wired, 2411 01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:20,040 Speaker 2: We're sorry, we're a little late. Oh, go ahead with 2412 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:21,320 Speaker 2: the sports. It's all right. 2413 01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:25,240 Speaker 8: I love being fashion only late anyway. So, although the 2414 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:27,960 Speaker 8: Dodgers a little bit late, but they did get seven 2415 01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,880 Speaker 8: runs in the eleventh inning last night against the San 2416 01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:34,759 Speaker 8: Francisco Giants to win in extra innings. Fourteen to seven, 2417 01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:38,839 Speaker 8: Showyotani cranking his twenty six home run of the season. 2418 01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:42,800 Speaker 8: Paul skeins, he's a guy who's really coming early as 2419 01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:45,280 Speaker 8: far as the Pirates expected development of him. He was 2420 01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:48,240 Speaker 8: in the College World Series last year pitching for LSU. 2421 01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:51,920 Speaker 8: Now he's in the big leagues having a sensational rookie season. 2422 01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:52,080 Speaker 1: Now. 2423 01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:54,760 Speaker 8: He did get a no decision against the Braves on Saturday, 2424 01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:59,000 Speaker 8: but Sken's playing incredibly well, pitched incredibly well. Six innings, 2425 01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:02,439 Speaker 8: one run aloud, nine strikeouts, has an ERA on the 2426 01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:04,960 Speaker 8: season two point zero six. But it is the Braves 2427 01:52:05,280 --> 01:52:08,320 Speaker 8: winning this one at two to one. Elsewhere in Major 2428 01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:11,679 Speaker 8: League Baseball, the defending champion Texas Rangers things going from 2429 01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:15,160 Speaker 8: bad to worse. They suffer their six straight loss against 2430 01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:18,679 Speaker 8: the Baltimore Orioles six to five, but Corey Seeger having 2431 01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:21,320 Speaker 8: to leave the game after he was hit by a 2432 01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:23,320 Speaker 8: pitch on his left wrist. It did not look good. 2433 01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:24,960 Speaker 8: He looked like he was in a lot of pain. 2434 01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:28,879 Speaker 8: X rays weren't negative, but we'll have to see exactly 2435 01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:32,559 Speaker 8: what his status will be going forward. A couple of 2436 01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:35,080 Speaker 8: teams out of that Arona roll, the Angels, they've made 2437 01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:37,519 Speaker 8: it six straight wins, including a six to five victory 2438 01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:40,920 Speaker 8: against the Tigers in ten innings and the Padres. They're 2439 01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:43,439 Speaker 8: now on a five game winning streak and including a 2440 01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:47,080 Speaker 8: big eleven to one demolishment of the Boston Red Sox. 2441 01:52:47,160 --> 01:52:51,439 Speaker 8: Manny Machada with big game two home runs for San Diego. 2442 01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:55,040 Speaker 8: The Minnesota Twins win against Seattle five to one. Toronto 2443 01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:57,840 Speaker 8: over the Yankees five to three, nine three, excuse me, 2444 01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:02,720 Speaker 8: nine to three as Vladimore Guerrero had six runs batted in. 2445 01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:06,439 Speaker 8: In the NBA, the Clippers Paul George opting out of 2446 01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:08,800 Speaker 8: his contract so he is now a free agent, and 2447 01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:12,360 Speaker 8: Adrian Wardjanowski saying that he is expected to meet with 2448 01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:15,559 Speaker 8: the Clippers the Philadelphia seventy six ers in Orlando Magic 2449 01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:19,800 Speaker 8: as soon as this evening. Lebron James also opting out 2450 01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:23,240 Speaker 8: of this contract with the Lakers, but the expectation is 2451 01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:29,240 Speaker 8: that he will resign with Los Angeles.

As Lionel Messi did not 2454 01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:39,200 Speaker 8: play due to a groin injury, Chile was eliminated. They 2455 01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:43,560 Speaker 8: played to a nil nil draw against Canada the European 2456 01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:47,200 Speaker 8: twenty twenty four Championships. Germany shuts out Denmark two nil. Wha, 2457 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:49,400 Speaker 8: they're delay in that game of more than twenty minutes, 2458 01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:51,759 Speaker 8: but they were able to finish it as that Germany 2459 01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:54,720 Speaker 8: ends up winning that one, Switzerland knocking Italy out of 2460 01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:56,759 Speaker 8: the tournament two nil. And we got two more games 2461 01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,559 Speaker 8: coming up later today that will both be shown on 2462 01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:03,200 Speaker 8: Fox England and Slovakia. They'll kick off at noon Eastern 2463 01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,920 Speaker 8: and then coming up at three East Spain will face Georgia. 2464 01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:09,080 Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, Thank you, keV have a great day. 2465 01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:12,000 Speaker 2: Look how did this enter the picture? We'll get to 2466 01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:13,680 Speaker 2: that in just about a minute. He's Bucket Brooks and 2467 01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:16,320 Speaker 2: Andy Furman. We are Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports 2468 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:18,320 Speaker 2: Trader the Blaying game coming up maybe four or five 2469 01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:20,479 Speaker 2: minutes from now. And I just want to run this 2470 01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:24,040 Speaker 2: by it because we wouldn't be complete if we didn't 2471 01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:26,640 Speaker 2: happen to mention Caitlin Clark. We didn't talk about it 2472 01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:28,759 Speaker 2: once today she got to mention that. We talked about 2473 01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:32,560 Speaker 2: how she's getting in the media because for several reasons, politics, 2474 01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:36,160 Speaker 2: sports obviously, and race. And Andrea Williams I don't know 2475 01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:38,680 Speaker 2: Andrewa Williams, but she writes for The Tennessee and newspaper 2476 01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 2: and she says that Caitlin Clark is marketable because of 2477 01:54:43,240 --> 01:54:46,480 Speaker 2: her race, because she's white. And I thought, and maybe, look, 2478 01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:49,360 Speaker 2: I'm myive, maybe I'm stupid. I thought race was absent 2479 01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:52,560 Speaker 2: in sports. Tell me about that, because maybe she's right 2480 01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:56,120 Speaker 2: because I look at Asia Wilson, and Asia Wilson didn't 2481 01:54:56,120 --> 01:55:00,280 Speaker 2: get a sneaker deal until Caitlin Clark got one. Maybe 2482 01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:02,959 Speaker 2: it is about race. Maybe it's easy to sell product 2483 01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:06,760 Speaker 2: to white America then African American America. I don't know. 2484 01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:08,880 Speaker 2: Maybe you could help me with this, because when I 2485 01:55:08,920 --> 01:55:11,360 Speaker 2: read the column, I said, wow, I mean this is 2486 01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:14,280 Speaker 2: pretty big. So Andrea Williams hit on something maybe from 2487 01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:18,240 Speaker 2: the Daily tennesseean that talented Clayton Clark, she says, is 2488 01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:19,880 Speaker 2: marketable because of our race. 2489 01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:22,839 Speaker 4: I would say that. I wouldn't. 2490 01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:25,000 Speaker 3: I wouldn't limit it to that. I wouldn't say that 2491 01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:28,240 Speaker 3: because I think that is being disingenuous to how talented 2492 01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:32,040 Speaker 3: she is. Like, it's not just because Caitlyn Clark is 2493 01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:36,200 Speaker 3: a white female that can play or whatever that she's marketable. 2494 01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:38,880 Speaker 3: I say, it kind of touches on a bunch of 2495 01:55:38,920 --> 01:55:41,120 Speaker 3: different things. I would say one, Kayln Clark is a 2496 01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:44,240 Speaker 3: phenomenal basketball player, and Kaylyn Clark played in the place 2497 01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:47,080 Speaker 3: where she was able to build up her brand. Iowa 2498 01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:52,600 Speaker 3: fans are rabid about their team. They look they're fanatical 2499 01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:56,280 Speaker 3: about the way the Lady Hawk ass go about doing 2500 01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:58,640 Speaker 3: their business on the court. Kaylyn Clark was a perfect 2501 01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:01,320 Speaker 3: storm because the team got better as she got better, 2502 01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:03,280 Speaker 3: and they were able to follow along with her for 2503 01:56:03,320 --> 01:56:05,680 Speaker 3: three four years as she did it on a big 2504 01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:09,520 Speaker 3: stage in the Midwest where you had a lot of 2505 01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:11,920 Speaker 3: people paying attention. Because when i played in Kansas City, 2506 01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:15,960 Speaker 3: the King's City chiefs used the marketer games to Iowa 2507 01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:18,640 Speaker 3: because it's right there in the corridor. So she had 2508 01:56:18,880 --> 01:56:21,960 Speaker 3: the ability to really build a big brand right in 2509 01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:23,360 Speaker 3: that Midwestern section. 2510 01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:25,040 Speaker 4: So she comes with a lot of people. 2511 01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:27,680 Speaker 3: Now, there were some people that would say, from a 2512 01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:31,520 Speaker 3: marketing standpoint, right like, when you're a corporation in the business, 2513 01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:35,520 Speaker 3: who's your target market, And if you're talking about the 2514 01:56:35,600 --> 01:56:41,360 Speaker 3: target market being kind of like Middle America, White America, whatever, like, yeah, 2515 01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:44,360 Speaker 3: she does look like the girl next door. And so 2516 01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:48,360 Speaker 3: because the girl next door is dominating on a bigger stage. Yeah, 2517 01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:51,160 Speaker 3: it's an easier sale to get her to do it. 2518 01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:55,080 Speaker 3: And it's not necessarily that you're just targeting that. But 2519 01:56:55,520 --> 01:56:57,360 Speaker 3: if they're running the numbers and they're saying like, hey, 2520 01:56:57,400 --> 01:57:00,080 Speaker 3: this is the fan base that's building up, or this 2521 01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:03,640 Speaker 3: demographic is buying up all of these products that she 2522 01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,360 Speaker 3: would be a great fit for, you're trying to mesh 2523 01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:10,480 Speaker 3: those things together. So I wouldn't say that she's completely 2524 01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:13,600 Speaker 3: more marketable because of her race, but I certainly think 2525 01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:17,600 Speaker 3: that race and dynamics and all that plays into some 2526 01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:17,960 Speaker 3: of that. 2527 01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:22,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, Well said, that's Bucky Brooks.

They get 2552 01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:32,960 Speaker 3: slaughter because they always consume with the dollar. So I 2553 01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:35,240 Speaker 3: blame the NFL. They made the prices too high. They're 2554 01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:38,080 Speaker 3: gouging the prices and taking advantage of the consumer. 2555 01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do something differently today.

You gotta hype it. You got to put 2585 01:59:50,120 --> 01:59:52,520 Speaker 3: it in prime time so everyone can see it at 2586 01:59:52,560 --> 01:59:54,680 Speaker 3: four o'clock, which is one o'clock Pacific time. I'm like, 2587 01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:57,000 Speaker 3: what is this on the TV? I don't even know 2588 01:59:57,080 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 3: what this is. And because it was so rapid for 2589 01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:01,520 Speaker 3: I was like it was pointless. You couldn't even watch it, 2590 02:00:01,640 --> 02:00:03,520 Speaker 3: and it was over before you really could tune in. 2591 02:00:04,160 --> 02:00:08,000 Speaker 11: Right, Okay, So the last one here is Jets quarterback 2592 02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:10,360 Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers continues to miss workouts. 2593 02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:12,000 Speaker 6: Bucky, who do you blame? 2594 02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:15,800 Speaker 4: I mean, look, man, he's the diva. They get to 2595 02:00:15,920 --> 02:00:17,000 Speaker 4: let him do whatever he wants. 2596 02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:19,640 Speaker 3: It's not a big deal because it doesn't matter, but 2597 02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:22,040 Speaker 3: certainly you would like to think your franchise quarterback is 2598 02:00:22,320 --> 02:00:24,680 Speaker 3: being the building. But look, man, he's the key. As 2599 02:00:24,760 --> 02:00:27,760 Speaker 3: much as people talk about Lebron holding a franchise hostage, 2600 02:00:27,800 --> 02:00:30,640 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers has the New York Jets hostage. He's on 2601 02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:32,880 Speaker 3: to make activity because he can do whatever he wants, 2602 02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:34,520 Speaker 3: whenever he wants, however he wants. 2603 02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:35,800 Speaker 4: And so I blame Aaron Rodgers. 2604 02:00:36,520 --> 02:00:38,680 Speaker 2: You know what, though, Aaron Rodgers has the New York 2605 02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:41,080 Speaker 2: Jets by the hanky downs. That's what he does. He's 2606 02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:42,880 Speaker 2: kind of buy the hanky downs right now. And you 2607 02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,200 Speaker 2: if he if he can getting away with it downs 2608 02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:49,080 Speaker 2: the hanky downs, yeah, I don't think going any farther. Okay, 2609 02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:52,360 Speaker 2: kind of hanky down downs. If he get getting away 2610 02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:54,680 Speaker 2: with it, good for him, all right, But gotta blame 2611 02:00:54,720 --> 02:00:57,000 Speaker 2: the coaching staff because everybody in that team knows that 2612 02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:59,040 Speaker 2: the coach is a week put your foot down and 2613 02:00:59,160 --> 02:01:01,600 Speaker 2: do something.
