1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Happy Wednesday at a Merry Christmas.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 3: Eve, Merry Christmas Eve.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: The countdown is on Sanna getting the sleigh ready to go.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: Presents everywhere. Although throughout my Christmas experience one I'm oh

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: for one with my son, he needed to open a

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: present day. I guess Seahawks pens were not on his list?

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: Is that that wasn't for you? Did you not wrap

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: yourself a gift?

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: I'm trying so hard to make this kid a Seahawks fan,

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: and I think he's just doing it to just to

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: spite me. He's now telling me, uh yay rams boo Seahawks,

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: having no idea on how big a rivalries they are,

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: arrivals they are. He just likes it because the ram is,

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: in his words, a farm animal. Sure whatever, that's fine,

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: and it's got horns either head.

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: I get it.

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: So Christmas is off. We're all for one.

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: No heart wants what it wants.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: If we can bat five hundred on Christmas gifts, we'll

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: be doing well. She is Monty Blanios, I'm Dan Byer.

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Radio. Have you heard about trainer games, Monzi?

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: No, tell me about it?

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: This year Binge list ten athletes go ahead to head

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: for the chance to win an iFIT trainer contract with

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars Trainer Games on Prime Video.

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: January eighth. Watched the trailer on trainer games dot Com.

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: What a night it was last night in the NBA,

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: the NBA on NBC. And we are not talking about

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 2: your clippers a victory against Rows. We are not talking

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: about that at all. We're talking about the Dallas Mavericks

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: and Cooper Flagg surviving the Denver Nuggets getting a big

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: win for Dallas. And now Cooper Flag is nineteen moncey.

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: He is a new man at nineteen years of age.

35
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: Cooper Flagg is coming into his own even joking last

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: night that he has he's missed like one or two.

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: It's actually two threes since he turned twenty, since he

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: turned nineteen. Over the but Cooper Flag has been on

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: a tear. The Mavericks are the first fifteen games of

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: the season, we're four and eleven. Cooper Flag was averaging

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: fifteen and a half points per contest, six rebounds per

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: game in three assists per game. Now Cooper Flag over

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: the next fifteen games averaging almost twenty three points per game,

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: six and a half rebounds per contest, and he's up

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: the assist numbers to four and a half dimes per contest.

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: And so now we are at the point where the

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: number one overall pick maybe not a generational talent like

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: Victor Wembin Yama, but I think very very few are.

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: Like when you talk about the Victor Webbin Yama like

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: it is, it's like Louel Sinder, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Lebron James,

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: and Victor Webber Yama right outliers like completely like wembin Yama.

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: Lebron and Kareem were so like. I think I can

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: put Tim Duncan in that conversation as well. But Cooper

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: Flag went not rise to the level of that yet. However,

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: he would be on the level below because of how

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: young he is. And monci for what is transpired in

57
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: the first thirty games of this season to see the

58
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: quick turnaround from Cooper Flag to see he should be

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: a freshman in college right now, like truly he reclassified.

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: He went to the NBA draft early, or went to

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: Duke early so he could go to the NBA draft early.

62
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: It's why he's nineteen years old. Cooper Flag right now

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: for the Dallas Mavericks, the way that he is playing,

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: I think needs to be an NBA All Star Oo.

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, watching Cooper Flag from the first couple

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: of games to now, it's crazy to see how good

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: his footing has become. Because I think we all expected

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: him to be good, or everyone hoped he would be good.

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: And everybody in a way is rooting for the Mavericks

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: and Cooper Flag because of Whitney Goo Harrison did We'll

71
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: never forget, so we're all kind of rooting for him.

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: But he did not look the way he did thirty

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: games ago. Would crazy to say the jump. He has

74
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: been really good and I hear what you're saying that

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: he should be an All Star because we've talked about

76
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: the All Star Game in the past, Dan that it's

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: like what's missing from it, And every year there are

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: players who are not in it who should be in it,

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: whether they don't get in because their team record is

80
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: not good or because there are other players who are

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: slightly better. He is really good, but I don't know

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: does he actually move the needle like that?

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: I think that he has the ability, Yes, really, yes,

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: I do. I really think that that he does. I

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: think that the situation that he's in with the Mavericks

86
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: is it's a little unfortunate because you're still trying to

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: follow Luka Doncic's shadow. That's true, and there's also Listen,

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: there's also a contingent that would say, what are you

89
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: talking about, Dan, He's not even the best He's not

90
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: even the best rookie in the NBA that just came

91
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: into the draft from Duke Conkappel for Mishelon Hornet has

92
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: been magnificent, but for his great as kan Kaneppl has been,

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: He's not Cooper Flag And I do think that Cooper

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: Flagg does carry this aura with him and at nineteen

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: years old, when he was when he was eighteen years old,

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: and he was seventeen years old playing against the US

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: men's national team, they would say on how different of

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: a player he was, and so it took him fifteen

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: games to kind of get acclimated. But if I'm watching

100
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: the NBA All Star Game, which is going under a

101
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: completely different format again this year, hmm, it's also going

102
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: to be on earlier in the day, did you know

103
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: that that it's it's not going to be a primetime broadcast.

104
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: It'll be five Eastern, two Pacific. They'll took it off from.

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: Me if watching.

106
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: It's a package deal with NBC, so the NBC will

107
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: have their Olympics and then the Olympics will move into

108
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: the to the All Star Game. But you've got the

109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: US against the World. There's going to be two American teams,

110
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: one team of international players. They'll play a round robin

111
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: of three games and then the final quarter will be

112
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: the championship game. But you have sixteen American players, sixteen

113
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: American players that are going to be named to the

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: NBA All Star list. And there are some right off

115
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: the bat that you're like, Okay, no brainer, right, Tyrese Maxey,

116
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell. Those guys are going to be All Stars,

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: are going to be a part of this game. But

118
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: when we start getting down to the lower list, and

119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: we know Lebron didn't want to play last year, so

120
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: maybe Lebron shouldn't even be a part of it this year.

121
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: That's cute that you think he's not going to participate,

122
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Well just say that's cute. Of course he's going to

123
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: be there.

124
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: He may be there and then not playing.

125
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: Not play, which is he took Norman Powell's spot. Whatever.

126
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Norman Powell has a great case.

127
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: To maybe if you have a yes in Miami MVP this.

128
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Year, but you need to have Cooper Flag in this

129
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: All Star Game because I do think that he moves

130
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: the needle. I think he is one of the next

131
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: superstars in the NBA. And one of the problems with

132
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: the NBA that I that I think is Lebron and

133
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: some of the older heads just never leaving, so there's

134
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: not an opportunity for somebody else to take over the

135
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: league themselves. Now, maybe Wemby will do it. I don't

136
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: know if SGA is doing it, but I think Wemby

137
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: would have more of the opportunity to do so. But

138
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: I think that Cooper Flagg could be as part of

139
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: that conversation and this allows that growth, This begins that growth,

140
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: this continues that growth growth, and I would want to

141
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: see Cooper Flagg against the best players from the international

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: team against the other American team. I think that's good

143
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: TV and ultimately that's what the NBA wants. So that's

144
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: why I just think for all those reasons, Manzi that

145
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: he needs to be an All Star And I'm sorry

146
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: for some of the players that aren't going to make

147
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: the cut, but it's more important for Cooper Flag to

148
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: be an All Star than some of those other guys.

149
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: We've literally seen the NBA fail at putting what people

150
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: want to watch in front of us. They have not

151
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: done the logical decisions that we have maybe discussed over

152
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: the years. And so if it was him or Orknippal,

153
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: you would say both, or you would say.

154
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: Just say Cooper Flag.

155
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: Just Cooper Flag, because you know, the Mavericks are eleventh

156
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference and so it's like, but they

157
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: are looking better, and it's like I would not be

158
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: I would not be mad at all if he's in it.

159
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: I'm just really wondering, like maybe he does move the needle,

160
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: but like, does anyone truly care about the All starium?

161
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: Are people going to tune in? And yeah, maybe he

162
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: should at least participate in some way. He's got to

163
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: be there. He's got to be one of the reasons.

164
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: But I just don't know who would he snub. And

165
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: that's the question, who would he snub?

166
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: So this is with the new format the way it

167
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: is if you.

168
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: Propel it right, or is it still Eastern West.

169
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: You'll be voted. They'll be voted in East and West

170
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: they will be Okay, Now, what they're hoping twenty four

171
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: players in all and this is the other. This is

172
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: the tricky thing about the NBA. It's just confusing for

173
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 2: people to understand the format. Twelve starters or twelve players

174
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: will be named from the East, twelve players will be

175
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: named from the West. Those are your twenty four all Stars.

176
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: Their fingers are crossed that it's sixteen American players and

177
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: eight international players.

178
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 3: You know it's not going to be so you know

179
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: they're going to manipulators and they're going to do what

180
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: they want correct exactly.

181
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: So now we get into the equation of manipulation, correct,

182
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: not earning, not just popularity, which I think Cooper Flag,

183
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: by the way, because of his popularity, could be one

184
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: of those players voted in. This is what I think

185
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: is important is that there is a ninth international player

186
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: that may get snubbed under this current. That's the real

187
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: snub not the fifteenth or sixteenth best American player that

188
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,479
Speaker 2: would sit out because of Cooper Flag. It's the international,

189
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: which Cooper Flag has nothing to do about. So the

190
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: format is already kind of silly, right, they're trying to

191
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: make us watch, They're trying to make us USA against

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: the world. It's a tie in with the Olympic, with

193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: the Winter Olympics that are going on. There's even going

194
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: to be programming. I think Team USA plays hockey prior

195
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: on NBC to the All Star Game. All of this

196
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: is contrived, So why not rig it? Were most popular

197
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: star gets into the most marquee event outside of your playoffs?

198
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think I think you. You make a

199
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: lot of good points. I just really don't know if

200
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: I can trust the NBA to make their smart decision.

201
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: Let's be real. Manzi just feels bad for brandon Ingram

202
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: and Norman Powell, Right, Okay, those are the guys. Those

203
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: are the guys that we are talking about. Yeah, be

204
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: on the cutting room.

205
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: Floor on the French who have not been there. Brandon

206
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: Ingram and what he's doing with the Toronto Raptors, no

207
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: one expected that. No one expected that. Did you have

208
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: the Raptors being third in the Eastern Conference?

209
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: No, not even a little bit.

210
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: Not even a little bit. And also, yeah, like the

211
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 3: heater in it, but the heater always in it. I yes,

212
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 3: maybe I do have a soft spot for other players.

213
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: I just have seen the NBA fail in the past

214
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: of making the smart, logical decision, and I'm wondering if

215
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: they're gonna, if they're actually gonna put him in when

216
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: he should be, even if he doesn't, put him in,

217
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: even if he doesn't deserve it. That's what you're saying, Yes,

218
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: put him in, even if he doesn't deserve If.

219
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: It's close, he's in. He gets the benefit of the doubt.

220
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: It's more beneficial for the league to have him. Yes.

221
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: Why do you think Nuggets Mavericks was on NBC last night? No?

222
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Right?

223
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: Yes?

224
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: Right? Like I mean it wasn't just because of Jokic.

225
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: No, definitely or Anthony Davis. Yes, yes, it was because

226
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: of him.

227
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: Yes, So Rockets Clippers ends up following you can. It's

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and Rockets are really good, the.

229
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: Coopers stinky Clippers.

230
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: But it's James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. And that's right

231
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: back to the fact. Here's the here's the good thing

232
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: for those in the camp with me that agree that

233
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag should be an All Star. The course that

234
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: he is setting, and what if he does this over

235
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: the next fifteen games before that All Star Game. I

236
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: think he could make the case for himself that he

237
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: deserves to be there. But if it comes down to

238
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: the point where it's borderline and he continues this sort

239
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: of play, he has to he has to be in.

240
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: He was the talk of the town last night, He's

241
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: been the talk of the town over the last couple

242
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: of weeks. And that's what the the NBA is doing

243
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: really well. But you need Cooper Flagg, who may not

244
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: be that generational, super generational Wemby because of how much

245
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: of a freak Wemby is, but still he is up

246
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: there of the years that you wanted to win the

247
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: NBA Draft lottery.

248
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean, listen, you're making all the right points.

249
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 3: You're making all the right points, and I hope, I

250
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: hope they do put him in. But I'm gonna sit here,

251
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: and when they put him in, I'm gonna tell you

252
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: of the ones who got snubbed, don't we see, because

253
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: these guys should have made it. There's always a few.

254
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: It's different when Lebron's been there.

255
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: Know Lebron should not be in it.

256
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: No, but like last year, so Norman Powell gets basically

257
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 2: snubbed because Lebron is in and then he backs out

258
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: of the game. And that's yeah, correct, that really stinks.

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Lebron should not be in it. He's just there

260
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: right now already. Hey, guys, thank you. You can give

261
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: me an honorable, you know, mention. But he should not

262
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: be in it. He should not even be considered and

263
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: you should take himself out of it.

264
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: Correct.

265
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm with you. I totally agree with that. I

266
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: totally agree. No, I think I think you're convincing me. Yeah, No,

267
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: Cooper Flax should be in it because if anybody, I

268
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: really was wondering if he moved the needle. But maybe

269
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: because of the whole situation where like there's all these

270
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 3: unks in the NBA that we're still following, right like

271
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: all the old guys, that's what we're tuning in. So

272
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: I'm wondering, does he move the needle? But maybe you're right,

273
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: maybe he does.

274
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: I think that there is a generation of players. This

275
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: happened in the NFL with quarterbacks and the probably quarterbacks

276
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: that were drafted fifteen years ago. Talking about the Russell Wilson's,

277
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: the Cam Newton's, the Andrew Lux guys that were thought

278
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: to carry the torch from Brady and Breeze and Philip Rivers,

279
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: but that just never came to fruition. So now I

280
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: kind of jumped, and now it's oh, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen,

281
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, those, yeah, those are the guys. I think

282
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: It's kind of that way in the NBA. Yes, I

283
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: think so with Steph and Lebron and Kevin Durant staying

284
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: around as long as they have the other that that

285
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: next generation of players kipped. Yeah, yeah, and so now

286
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be And I actually think that the

287
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: NBA players are better than the product of the NFL

288
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that were in that generation. But I mean there

289
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: was a point where we thought that Giannis and Nicola

290
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: jokicchen Yokich may still be the best player in the

291
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: NBA right now, but like those are days now in

292
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: the past. Now it's these other young guys that are

293
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: moving up, Like Anthony Edwards for as great as he is,

294
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: for Jason Tatum, for right, you know, as great, it's

295
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: like it's already past their time for them to take

296
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: over and be the NBA.

297
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: I never I never even thought of that. I mean,

298
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: you're so right. There was like a generation that was

299
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: skipped and only a few came out of that, Nicola

300
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: Jokic being one of them. Right, all the other ones

301
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: are just kind of like, yeah, they were good, but

302
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: we definitely skipped them over. And now it seems like

303
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: Cooper frag can be the start of the ones taking

304
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: over the torch.

305
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I love that, and and I think

306
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: that two players. I think that Luca and I think

307
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: that Kate Cunningham could have toggled on both sides. Yes,

308
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: but now though maybe with the younger.

309
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: Because they are still I still look at them as younger,

310
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: even though like we've seen Luca what now seven years

311
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: eight years? Yeah, but I still look at him as

312
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: a younger generation.

313
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I did too, all right, She's wat, I'm Dan Bayer.

314
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: He does he needs to be an all star.

315
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: He does need to be an All Star. But I'm

316
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: more like with the thing of like this giving the generation.

317
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: I never thought of it like that, but that makes

318
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: perfect sense.

319
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: He also may single handedly bring back the crappy mustache

320
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: look because that thing, oh my goodness, like that is

321
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: that is such a nineteen year old mustache.

322
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: It shows his age.

323
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah right, it is struggling. So Hopefully the mustache and

324
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: goateee can take off the next fifteen games like this

325
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: game has. But otherwise maybe they should just that that

326
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: should be a thing at Mavericks games.

327
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: Him and Paul Skeins.

328
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: He's brought back the T shirt. Yeah right, but Skemes

329
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: is no.

330
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: Skeins is also just there.

331
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: I thought more planned. Cooper Flags brought back the T

332
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: shirt underneath. Yes, yes, he has jersey other players would

333
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: wear like the the.

334
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: More compression yes, yes, and he's wearing like a T

335
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: shirt like literally yeah, because Anthony Davis wars like the

336
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: compression shirt under.

337
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: Changing the game. Yeah, oh man.

338
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: But he's like the young guy and he's acting like

339
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: the old guy with that T.

340
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: Shirt and then mustache and he's only nineteen in five days.

341
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: Did you pick Duke to win it all last year

342
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: in the bracket? Do you remember?

343
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,479
Speaker 3: I think I did okay, and they were knocked.

344
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: Out in the National seventh final by by the Houston Cougars.

345
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: I went back and forth and I was like, oh,

346
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick Florida. I'm gonna pick Florida, and then

347
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: I think I ended up ultimately picking Duke. Anyway, it

348
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: brings me to this point. Feeding off the success of

Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had it Christmas in Costa Rica. Okay, does

396
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: that count? It's really and muggy and warm and sticky.

397
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: This is the most Christmas I spent December in New York,

398
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: not just this past year, but like, you know, I've

399
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: seen a wintery December. Yes, I've spent Christmas in Italy.

400
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 3: I saw the Pope say, like, what is he? Merry

401
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 3: Christmas in all the languages. Yeah, I was there for Christmas.

402
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: But like on this might be the most hold Christmas

403
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: in LA that I've experienced. Sure you know what I mean.

404
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the same. Like if you've experienced Christmas

405
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: in snow or grew up in snow, Yeah, there's nothing

406
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: that will ever match it. Yeah, I just for people

407
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: that have transferred, well, it's you shouldn't be jealous because

408
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: the people like me and for as much as for

409
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: it's just different. Trying to figure out the way to

410
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 2: put this so I don't back myself into a corner.

411
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: It's different when there's a white Christmas. And sometimes of

412
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: course in upstate New York in the Upper Midwest, there

413
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: isn't snow, but a lot of places are getting snow.

414
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: So at least you have it for the Christmas and

415
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: it's got that sort of feel.

416
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I want to go do a snow angel.

417
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: I never got to do that.

418
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: Oh it's still time. There's still time to go somewhere. Yeah,

419
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: he travel. Just do you do it in the mountains

420
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: out here in southern.

421
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: California because snow is like hard.

422
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: You could do it, is speaking of your European vacations.

423
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: You could do it in Milan.

424
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: In Milan, yes, yes, the road.

425
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: To Milan runs through Saint Louis. If you didn't know that, Yes,

426
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: see Ilia Mallan in Alyssa lou and Amber Glenn compete

00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: at the twenty twenty sixth Priviage in US Figure Skating

Speaker 2: that's coming up in a couple of weeks with the

432
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 2: Winter Olympics, then in Milan coming up in early February.

433
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: Figure skating is something I just I'm so impressed by.

434
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: I feel like I've seen Philip Rivers do a snow

435
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: angel like you I don't know that, maybe misremembering something,

436
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: but I feel like I have and we got good

437
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: news today. That's right, Philip Rivers is going to start

438
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: in week seventeen. Even with the Indianapolis Colts having a

439
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: two to three percent chance of making the postseason, there

440
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: is not going to be a transition. And I know,

441
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: well you well you were, well you were while you were,

442
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: while you were, while you were, while you were, while

443
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: you were, while you I was just going along with

444
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: the yeses while you were in Las Vegas. I could

445
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: have said you were Quenne, Well, you were in Vegas. Yesterday,

446
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: we spent half the show just wanting Philip Rivers to

447
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: play one more game. I know they're zero and two,

448
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: but we were so afraid that Riley Leonard would get

449
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: the reins because of how slim of a chance the

450
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: Colts have to make the postseason. And now we know

451
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: that Philip Rivers is going to play again, there is

452
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: going to be no twenty twenty six. There's just there's

453
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 2: not going to be. So at least we know we

454
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: can enjoy this for at least another week. They've got

455
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: Jacksonville coming to town. If they lose that, then maybe

456
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: it'll be a different decision. I just didn't want the

457
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers experience to end after nine days.

458
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: It didn't need to end, you know, Like I think

459
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: if it would have been bad, it would have ended.

460
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 3: But in reality, it has not been bad. Even against

461
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers putting up what twenty seven points

462
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 3: like that's not an easy thing for a quarterback to do.

463
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: We've seen the young quarterback struggle and not put up

464
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: points they were in and against the Seahawks until the

465
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: very end. It's been fun to watch and I'm glad

466
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: it's happening one more game and I hope it happens

467
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: another game. Are we so one hundred percent though that

468
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: he will not be back in twenty twenty six?

469
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that there's any reason I think

470
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: that this is This is a nice pocket, This is

471
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: a nice window think of everything that he would need

472
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: to do to get himself ready.

473
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: But what if he doesn't want to not to be

474
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: a starter, but to position himself where he can help

475
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: a team out again.

476
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 2: As a backup. Yeah, I just don't know if that's

477
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: who Philip Rivers is. I think that, I mean, he's

478
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: he's a coach, but he's a coach to high school kids.

479
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: I don't see him spending time away from his family

480
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: to help a young quarterback with the Indianapolis Colts. Like

481
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: the only reason he came back was because the and

482
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: he was going to play. They weren't like, we need depth,

483
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: we'd like you to back up Riley Leonard. That wasn't

484
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: the deal at all. It was came came in, knew

485
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: the offense. We need to win these games. And they

486
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: were really big games. The Seattle game so close, yes,

487
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: and they put up twenty seven against the Niners. The defense, Now,

488
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: he did throw a pick six in that contest, but

489
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: the defense did not stop Rockberdy, who threw five touchdowns

490
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: at all. So there's been success. I just don't think

491
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: that he wouldn't be able to play all season long

492
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: in the shape that he's in as well now think

493
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: he wants to.

494
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: I just feel like there was an itch and he

495
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: has scratched it. But what if he's not done scratching it,

496
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: and then it's just kind of like keep the door open, like,

497
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: don't close it completely. At this point, your Hall of

498
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: Fame clock has restarted, so there's no rush for you.

499
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 3: And I don't think he wants to do it the

500
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 3: entire year. But if I'm Philip Rivers, I'm going to

501
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: keep myself available.

502
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: Bo Benson is more on your side. Bo is our

503
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: executive producer. What would you put the chances of Philip

504
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: Rivers being back in twenty twenty six in some sort

505
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: of role at uh fort?

506
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's even higher than I think.

507
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 7: He's just got a taste of it again. And right

508
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 7: if he's coming in as a backup, it's different than

509
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 7: coming in as the starter. And if you're the Colts,

510
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 7: are you really all that comfortable going into next year

511
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 7: with Riley Leonard is your starting quarterback?

512
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like they are.

513
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 7: And you've already mortgaged your future, so you can't go

514
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 7: get a quarterback.

515
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: That's here another part of it, dah.

516
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 7: So what's the better option if you're the Colts?

517
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 2: I do? I think Riley Leonard with a full training

518
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: camp is a better option. As crazy that sound, at

519
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: least like you know, let the kid have an opportunity.

520
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: And Riley Leonard was the third string behind Anthony Richardson.

521
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: You still have Anthony Richardson, and I know there's some

522
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: questions about what's happening with with his eye, but he's

523
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: not going to play this this season. But that is

524
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: also then your other option to do. And I'm also

525
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 2: curious on the Daniel Jones factor, not that he's going

526
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: to be ready for the start of next season, but

527
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: now Daniel Jones is not attractive as a free agent

528
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: to other teams, so the Colts could get him on

529
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: some sort of discount. It's would you extend that certain

530
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: years so then you have him in twenty twenty seven,

531
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, or do you do a short term

532
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: deal because maybe you think Riley Leonard or Anthony Richardson

533
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: could be the guy and you're not sure about There

534
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: are a lot of questions the Colts have to answer,

535
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: but I just don't think Philip Rivers is one of

536
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 2: those answers.

537
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely do a short deal, by the way, with Daniel Jones,

538
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: you absolutely do it.

539
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: Though you would do it like a five year deal.

540
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: But would you because twenty twenty six is basically a waste, correct,

541
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: So you're throwing that out. But are you then including

542
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight because you believe

543
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 2: in him and what he's done so much? Or do

544
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: you still have questions about the injuries.

545
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 3: That's what it would be. The injury is where I

546
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: would have the questions. And so it's like life is

547
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: unfair and what happened to Daniel Jones really sucks and

548
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: it's unfair. But he has to understand, like everyone's going

549
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: to question how you're going to come back from that

550
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: type of injury, and so I have to I have

551
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: to see what it's like. I have to test you out,

552
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: and he has he has to know that too, kind

553
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: of like a proven year, Yeah, to prove it that

554
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: I can still do it.

555
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 2: I think I look Kirk Cousins had they got to

556
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: win against the Cardinals this past weekend. Kirk Cousins is

557
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: a lot older than Daniel Jones and coming off the

558
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Achilles heck, Aaron Rodgers, like we've seen players come back

559
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 2: from this injury. Daniel Jones is better equipped than both

560
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers to come back from their

561
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: Achilles injury. But there's also a I think there's a

562
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: season of adjustment to your injury and what you can

563
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: and cannot do. I think Rodgers has found a really

564
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: good way to play with the injury and now can

565
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: move not as good as he once used to, but

566
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: figure it out a way to make it work. I

567
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: think Daniel Jones is gonna have to do that. And

568
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 2: the other thing with Jones is Rogers moves like Rogers

569
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: was able to move well in the pocket and would run.

570
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: The running game was a part of Daniel Jones's game.

571
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: So now, how does this injury affect that in his

572
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones now just much more of a drop back

573
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: passer than the dual threat that he was for the

574
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: first half of this year. All of those questions still yet.

575
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 3: To come absolutely, especially like again, it sucks for him.

576
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: It's just unlucky would happened to him because he was

577
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 3: still kind of on an approve it situation. Daniel Jones. Yeah,

578
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: you know, he was still trying to prove it and

579
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: then it just didn't work.

580
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: Not to make this all about Lebron. Okay, not to

581
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: make this like some network both yeah, Lebron watched twenty

582
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: twenty If we've only got like six days of that left,

583
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: you they have to have a Lebron the watch watch watch. Yeah,

584
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: can we get to watch twenty twenty five? Can we

585
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 2: get that we were not going to hear it too

586
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: much anymore trying it.

587
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 6: I had it sitting here and now I am just

588
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 6: trying to figure out.

589
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: That's all right, whenever you find it. Yes, like the

590
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 2: yes is, just start playing it, that's all.

591
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 6: Watch twenty twenty five, not watch twenty twenty five.

592
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: Isn't this what Lebron should do? Leave for five years

593
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 2: and just come back.

594
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: Oh you know, he's he's seen it, Philip rivers. Interesting,

595
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: So this is an option now.

596
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to play for on Christmas Day? You'd rather

597
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: be home with the family, Yes, opening presence.

598
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Lebron, that's we actually wish you were home too.

599
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: Then he slipped and he said like me we we

600
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: I mean we, which was not not that was on purpose.

601
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: That was not miss the Freudian slip or anything. You

602
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: meant to do that. But I think that would be

603
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: that would be a great way for Lebron, because if

604
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: Lebron was away for five years and all of a sudden,

605
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: now at forty seven years old, comes back to the

606
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: NBA to play like a stretch run.

607
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a team help him at the end to

608
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: get to the playoffs. Yeah, twenty this is already.

609
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: Goes back to Cleveland. Yes, right, for one last chance.

610
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: I could only do this with the Cavaliers. Yeah, I

611
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: think that's I think he should. He's marked it down. Now,

612
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: that's how you follow up Philip Rivers footsteps.

613
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like, was it Bill Murray in Space Jam

614
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: coming in at the end?

615
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: Never seen it?

616
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 7: What?

617
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never seen it? I bo Chris, can you?

618
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

619
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

620
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 6: Dan doesn't watch any movies.

621
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: Well no, I mean just but that did happen in

622
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: the movie, right?

623
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 7: Yeah? I know that that is? Yes, what happens kind of?

624
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: Yes?

625
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: Are you messing with me?

626
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: No, I've never seen Space Jam. Take You're not missing anything, Okay,

627
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: and I'm not. When I play video games, I only

628
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: play sports games. And I hated NBA Jam because it

629
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: only had two players. Like I liked how they had

630
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: real players on the game. But I'm like, this is

631
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: this is this is two on two? What is this?

632
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 6: Don't worry about it.

633
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: Chris is so wrong. Space Jam is awesome and Brody

634
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: would love it.

635
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure he would like it more than his seahawk.

636
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: He would ask for Looney Tune pens instead.

637
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 6: Okay, I am with Dan. Also, NBA Jam. Whatever did

638
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 6: you ever play arch Rivals where you could like punch

639
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 6: the other players.

640
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: No, No, that wouldn't have been realistic. That would have

641
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: been Jenna says.

642
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 6: My options, my options growing up just like that in

643
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 6: Lakers versus Celtics, I always went to arch Rivals.

644
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: I have. I have no video games I have. I

645
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: don't have a PS five, but I have a PS two,

646
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: three and four. I don't have any video games that

647
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: aren't just sports. Yeah, that's all it is, and I

648
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: honestly I think they're all EA sports. I don't think

649
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: I have any two K games. And just like.

650
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 6: Still working, that's remarkable.

651
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: It's it's in a box in the girl but along

652
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: with six college football but those that's so like Space

653
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: Jam to me wasn't appealing because it's like it's space,

654
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: it's cartoons.

655
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: And Michael Jordan was so good.

656
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: He was so good and nominated for an Oscar.

657
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 6: No, in my heart he was.

666
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,400

667
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,880

668

669
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan himself has issued a statement of reading and

670
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 4: I quote, honestly, you didn't mean miss much.

671
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 6: I just took the money and ran.

672
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: Oh I'm inter sing. That's from Michael Jordan. That was

673
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: not a made up quote by Isacah.

674
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 4: I mean I've never seen Space Jam, either the original

675
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 4: one or the last.

676
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,960

Speaker 3: same script is no, not even sort of, not even

678
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,600

683
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,160

784
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be.

785
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 6: Momo thought about the three again. Now bounces it into

786
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 6: the paint the Scottie Barnes turns fires, gets the bucket

787
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 6: to go as he kissed it off.

788
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: Glass took the contact from Hawkes and Scott He's going

789
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 2: to the line for the three point play. Raptors Radio

790
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: Network on the call, Raptors getting a w last night

791
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: over the heat? What the bucks beating the pacers can

792
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: be a play of the day. Hey, that's just that's

793
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: gonna happen again.

794
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: We gotta give some That's a surprising team. I'm telling you,

795
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: the Raptors and the Suns. I can't believe they're as

796
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 3: good as they are.

797
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: One twelve to ninety one was the final. Scottie Barnes

798
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 2: had twenty seven points eight rebounds in the victory in Miami.

799
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: One of these surprises, there's I don't think it'll be

800
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 2: a surprise with the NFL MVP. I think Matthew Stafford

801
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: won it in the loss on Thursday night against the Seahawks.

802
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: Which is crazy. Why why what do you mean by

803
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 3: that that it's probably gonna be Matthew Stafford and he's

804
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: having a great year. I'm telling you he's I'm headed

805
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: to the Fantasy Championship because of him, thank you. But

806
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 3: is he the MVP?

807
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

808
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if he is, Dan, I don't know

809
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: if he is.

810
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: I think that he is. I think he meets all

811
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: the criteria, especially being the old guy.

812
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: Which is great. Love that. I do love that that

813
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: part of the story. But I just feel like there

814
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 3: is no clear cut standout quarterback, which is what they

815
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 3: always look for for the MVP. It's always a quarterback,

816
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: which is annoying. But it's like on a year where

817
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: it hasn't been that obvious and there isn't you know,

818
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: this head to head like we saw last year. How

819
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 3: are we not talking about Miles Garrett being the MVP.

820
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: Well, we all know because the brown stink. That's that's

821
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 2: that's the reason why if he was affecting wins and losses.

822
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 2: He's the best player in the National Football League, but

823
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 2: he's just not.

824
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 3: He's about to break a record now. And I say

825
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 3: that with the anticipation that he's going to break the record, right,

826
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: Like what if he doesn't, that's but he's about to

827
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 3: break a record.

828
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: I just I don't think Michael Strahan won MVP the

829
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 2: year that he broke the record.

830
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: Well you have a better memory. Who was there a

831
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 3: quarterback that had a region?

832
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: I just know that it wasn't. I just know that

833
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 2: Michael Strahan wasn't the MVP.

834
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: And then with like Matthews and Mattie Starved looks great

835
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: and he the Rams are are you know, kicking ass? Yes,

836
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 3: but he also has pookin a coop over there. He

837
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: also has DeVante Adams in the red zone catching all

838
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 3: these touchdowns for him. If anything, it's like who is

839
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: Drake May throwing to? What about Justin Herbert?

840
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 2: I think May has got some pretty good targets Stefan Diggs,

841
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: Hunter Henry and.

842
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: But nobody expected Stefon Diggs to maybe come back after

843
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 3: that injury, and like, you know, the whole boat insane.

844
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 2: Like I also I think Devantae Adams is a nice

845
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: red zone target now now injured, and we see what

846
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: Pookin is. I I get it, like I've Pooka Nkuk

847
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 2: should probably be in the conversation as well, but he

848
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: isn't because I've argued that Jackson Smith and Jigba should

849
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: be in the conversation. Donald is bo, you had another

850
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: one that was nobody's talking about. Oh God, I did

851
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: who Justin Herbert.

852
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: It was?

853
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought it was.

854
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, he said, she said, We've just said, but

855
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: he said, but.

856
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 2: Herbert's plus eight thousand right now. Trevor Lawrence is better

857
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 2: odds than than Justin her Bert right now. And I

858
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 2: feel like that's kind of been the Charger season, like

859
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: we stop paying attention to him because of all the injuries,

860
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 2: and then they just keep winning football and they're.

861
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 3: Winning and they're winning in spite of it, which is crazy,

862
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: especially when he has he also has a messed up hand,

863
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: like he's dealing through injuries through a line. All of

864
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: the tackles have gone down and never came back up.

865
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 2: For him.

866
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: He should be one that there that should be in

867
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: more consideration I think.

868
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: Than he is. It's gonna be Stafford or May unless

869
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: Josh Allen does something really crazy over these final two weeks.

870
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: But I think it's down to those three.

871
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: No, I think it's gonna be Stafford.

872
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well it's sound of the one. You heard

873
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: Monty say it here on Fox
