1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: Well, you and I haven't even talked since the NFL

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 2: season came to a close, so that means we've got

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: a whole lot to talk about. But by the time

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: you and I get back together, and this happens every

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: year after the Super Bowl, we're already angry about NBA

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend. It is exactly, It's just a it's

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: a tradition unlike any other. There's the Masters, there's the

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: super Bowl. There's getting mad about NBA All Star Weekend.

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 3: We're thrilled to be here.

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: There's all kinds of stuff that we want to get into,

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: and Ephraim is a huge NBA head, so it's officially

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: all in NBA season, baseballs upon us. We can get

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: into the Olympics. There's tons of stuff going on. But

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: I hate being mundane. It's like the number one thing

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 2: that we should not do in our business. But Ephraim,

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: when it comes to the end be a All Star Weekend,

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do but say the same

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: thing everybody else says.

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: This thing is d o A.

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: Hi, Hey, how you doing?

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: How you doing?

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: Buddy, would you do I want to know what you

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: thought of the Super Bowl too, Which one do you want?

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 4: First?

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: Well? The Super Bowl first?

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: Okay, hard to watch, Oh yeah, it was difficult.

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 5: But going into it, we knew that the winner of

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 5: the NFC Championship game was going to win the Super Bowl.

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: I think that was the consensus feeling about the teams

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 5: that were matching up in the Super Bowl. It just

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: was a tougher path. And the AFC kind of fell

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: apart there at the end with backup quarterbacks and you know,

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 5: quarterbacks point shaving in my opinion, just not not really, but.

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: You know, and and teams with no offensive lines.

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: So essentially, whoever came out of the NFC was the favorite,

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 5: in my opinion show win the Super Bowl.

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: And that's what happened.

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: And that's what happened and then the sort of predictable

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: happens next, which is and this is my favorite.

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: This is my favorite.

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: I've been sparring with people a little bit about this

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: one whenever some and this is a new thing that

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: we do.

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: We did it with Oklahoma City last year.

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: It's funny too, because you and I sat here in

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: the middle of that game. Seven of the NBA Finals,

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: and we watched Tyrese Halliburton get hurt and we both

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: thought to ourselves, boy, if that guy didn't get.

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: Hurt, Oh yeah, am I won that game.

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: It was it was head in that direction that the

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers might have won that game, but they didn't,

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: and he gets hurt and Oklahoma City wins, and then

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: you count to three and everyone's like, I think they're

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: going to be a dynasty. It's like, wait, a minute,

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: an hour and a half ago, you didn't even think

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: they were gonna win. And so now we do this.

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: We do it every year too. We do it every year,

60
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: specially in the NFL. Oh my gosh, the Seattle Seahawks

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: are a problem. And I'm not here to say that

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: they're not, like, yeah, good young team. They've drafted their

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: asses off and so their defense and everything is going

64
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: to be a problem.

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: I just think that.

66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: We never really seem to leave room for the journey

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: that a team goes on. And I don't know why

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: this makes us so uncomfortable, because I think we like

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: the majesty and the dominance of teams that are really good,

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: but circumstance and luck play into this. Every year no

71
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: matter what, I'll put the dynasties aside. Tom Brady and

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots. Yeah you good, you good, Michael Jordan, the Bulls,

73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: I got you, Spurs, Warriors, okay, I Lakers.

74
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: I see you outside of that. If you win a title.

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: I think it's hilarious that everyone's like, and they're gonna

76
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: do it again next year.

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: No they won't, No, they won't.

78
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: And and and you know.

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, like, really good story, but let's not act

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: like Sam went out and tore the damn league up.

81
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: He practically led the league in interceptions, is what he did.

82
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: And and then really figured out down the stretch. Boy,

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: if I just don't turn this ball over, we're gonna win.

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: And then they never turned the ball over and they won.

85
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: So that's gonna come off like a criticism. It's not

86
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: meant to. But you know, Colin is on his show

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: the very next day being like, so, you know, QB

88
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: one in the NFC is Matt Stafford.

89
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: QB two is Sam Donald.

90
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Nobody would take anybody other than Sam number two, you kid.

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't take Sam in the top five in the NFC.

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 3: I wouldn't all right, who in top five?

93
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: Okay, let me see no, no, no, I've got it. I

94
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: just I didn't like write our list out. Okay, who

95
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: would I take over Sam Donald in the NFC uh

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: to be the quarterback of my franchise right now? I

97
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: would take I would take Caleb Williams Williams over over

98
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I would take Brock Purdy for sure over

99
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I want to say that Matthewfford, well, Matthew

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: Stafford was already established. Matthew Stafford I would like at

101
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: this point in his career, I have a little bit

102
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: of a head scratch. But I damn well know a

103
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: year ago, I would have taken Jaydeon Daniels for sure.

104
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: Now that got weird this year, and I think it

105
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: was mainly because of injuries. But at this moment I'm

106
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: still gonna take Jaden Daniels over Sam Donald. H I

107
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: think here, let me give you the list of who

108
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 2: is like a candidate to me. Jared Goff's a candidate,

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: Jordan Loves a candidate, Doc Prescott's a candidate, Jalen Hurts

110
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: is a candidate, and Baker Mayfield's a candidate.

111
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 4: Okay, so you just need one more to do.

112
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Those are those are my candidates and yeah, yeah, I

113
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: think I think I would take Jordan Love. I think

114
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: I would take Doc Prescott over Sam Donald.

115
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: Okay, I like Sam Donald, but I think I would.

116
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: But no, no, no, I I do. He's in he's in

117
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: the top half. I'll take him over JJ McCarthy. I'll

118
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: take him over. I'll take him over Jackson Dart.

119
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take him over Tyler Shuck and Bryce Young

120
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: and Michael Pennet's and Tyler Murray and like I'm going.

121
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 5: To you're being insulting now, No, he's on the good half. Okay,

122
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 5: Well just listen, Okay, just listen. No one's done what

123
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 5: Sam Donald's done in a two year span.

124
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: Ever, that's true, that's true, right.

125
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 5: No one has taken two teams to a fourteen and

126
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: three record and back to back years. Yeah, and then

127
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: CAP did off with the Super Bowl win. So my

128
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: pushback is Sam Donald is rewriting his story. Now so

129
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 5: often we get locked into who a player is, and

130
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: I get it, I'm guilty of this as well. But

131
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 5: watching Sam Donald play the last two seasons, two separate offenses,

132
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 5: two separate coaching staffs, personnel states, and what he's been

133
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: able to do on his road to reinventing himself. Now,

134
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: let's rewind two years ago. We had a list of

135
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: guys who reintroduced themselves and and and changed the narrative

136
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: of who they were. Right Yep, Baker Mayfield right, once

137
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 5: thrown away by the Browns, has paved and carved away

138
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: of being a phenomenal quarterback.

139
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay loves him.

140
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 5: Right. We had Geno Smith yep, first round bus for

141
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 5: all intense purposes. Back up, got an opportunity, reinvented himself,

142
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold, Where did.

143
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 4: This guy come from?

144
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: Right?

145
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: Bust? Same aforementioned team with the Jets.

146
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 5: It was a bus there, went bounced around Carolina, couldn't

147
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 5: start there, and then uh San Francisco.

148
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: So we had a list.

149
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 5: These guys were changing the way we we we were

150
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: talking about them. And then what happened. Gino became Geno

151
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: Right right, Baker fell off a cliff. I don't know

152
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 5: where he was stepping, but he just fell off the

153
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 5: side of the mountain. And it's one guy who continued

154
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 5: to climb and all the way to a Super Bowl.

155
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 5: Mind you, he continued to rewrite his story. So I'm

156
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 5: going to push back on him. Not being in the

157
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 5: top five because he's done something all of the top

158
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: five hasn't done except for Matthew Stafford, right.

159
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: And I will push back by saying and and and

160
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: any good offensive line of pushing should know this. Yeah,

161
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: pushing you good lord. I don't know what the hell

162
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm even doing in this space, but I'm gonna give

163
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: it a whirl here. Like I think that we just

164
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: do too much quarterbacking. That's what I think. I think

165
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: we get to the end of the Super Bowl and

166
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: we go quarterback, and he the quarterback, and he led them,

167
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: and he's the quarterback. And I'm not saying you are,

168
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 2: say we collectively the society goes, now, Sam has done this.

169
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: Here's all the people who haven't done it. So Sam's

170
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: better than those people. When I look at it and go,

171
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: I've got a bunch of people that they were giving

172
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: Sam scenario.

173
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: This year, they're winning. I believe. I don't think that.

174
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't love to rely completely on stats, but I

175
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: don't like to remove them from the picture. And I

176
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: think that adjusted QBR that tells us all around how a.

177
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: Quarterback is playing.

178
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: I'm mindful of the fact that Sam was nineteenth this

179
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: year nineteenth, but behind Jared Golf, behind Jackson Dart, behind

180
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, behind Baker Mayfield, behind two San Francisco quarterbacks,

181
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: behind Dak Prescott, behind Matthew Stafford, and behind your love four.

182
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 4: Team wins Super Bowl?

183
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Seattle with defense elite?

184
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 5: Okay, elite? So was it a Super Bowl MVP? No, No,

185
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 5: he wasn't. He had a running back who was hitting

186
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 5: his head on the goal pull.

187
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

188
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 3: Did he? Did he play well in the playoffs?

189
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: He played well enough in the playoffs.

190
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: He threw for Yeah, he played well enough in the playoffs, right,

191
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: and so.

192
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 5: But he's had a tremendous year the last two years.

193
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: He's a fairy tremendous year.

194
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: He's a good player.

195
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: So what I'm what I'm saying is more goals into

196
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: it than the numbers. Of course, you start picking guys

197
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: who haven't won at a high level, no matter what

198
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 5: their team looks like, no matter if they have the defense,

199
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 5: are the offense. That means something. If Sam Donald were

200
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 5: to go to another team next year, would we think

201
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: that he could possibly carry that team?

202
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 3: It would depend for me on what's going on.

203
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 5: Okay, so I get some point and I just like

204
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: case in point. Yeah, the Seahawks were sixty to one

205
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 5: odds to win the Super Bowl. That's correct when he

206
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 5: was there at the beginning of this, right, okay, someone

207
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: was terribly wrong, absolutely now going into the season, there

208
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 5: was no QBR, there was no anything. Sam Donald showed

209
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: up with the with the team that intact, and odds.

210
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 4: Maker said.

211
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 5: Sixty to one, right okay, And that didn't work out

212
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: the way. Somebody made a lot of money, whoever has

213
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 5: whoever the Seahawks fans. Every year, I'm gonna put one

214
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 5: thousand dollars on them to win the Super Bowl no

215
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: matter what.

216
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: They're in Hawaii celebrating right now they are.

217
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: But so it depends on where year they started doing that.

218
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 5: But what, it doesn't matter. Lost a lot of money,

219
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter. They made it all up all right.

220
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: Between the last time they went to the Super Bowl

221
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 5: and this one. They they back east, and so I'm

222
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 5: gonna take that into account because I know the level

223
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 5: of leadership you need at the quarterback position to get

224
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 5: a team. That's why I'm such a big fan of

225
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 5: brock perty. We both are at the naysayers say this,

226
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: and they say that, and they do this and they

227
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: do that. All I'm saying is this man is a leader.

228
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 5: He takes teams, he leads them. He may not be

229
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: Jordan love or Caleb Williams or any of that.

230
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: I don't need him to be that.

231
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 5: I need him to be the leader he is because

232
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 5: he's gone to an NFC championship game, He's gone to

233
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 5: a super Bowl. He's right, Like, that's the level of

234
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: leadership I need. And so I add Sam Donald into

235
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: that category.

236
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm I'm I'm in on Sam, but everything just onkirts.

237
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: You just love You're in more on Jordan love Well

238
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 5: I adding more on Jalen.

239
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 4: You're Daniels, Jayden Daniels.

240
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: You're asking me who I would like pick to lead

241
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 2: my franchise and I would like to build around and

242
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: so yeah, like a little bit of is a projection.

243
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: I put it this way.

244
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: Everybody loves Sam right now, They've all moved off of

245
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts.

246
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 3: Everything you just said about Sam.

247
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: Is drue for Jalen last year, and Jalen has gone

248
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl twice.

249
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't ever think that was a See.

250
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 5: What what Sam doesn't have is Sakwon Barkley true. But

251
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 5: but and we know what happened and why the Philadelphia

252
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 5: Eagles last year were the team that won it all.

253
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: We know who that was and who was responsible for that.

254
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: Who were they three years ago when they went to

255
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and scored over thirty points?

256
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: No, that you didn't have skull.

257
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 4: But they had a dynamic, dual headed running game. Okay, right,

258
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: they had.

259
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 5: They got a tremendous receiver. Uh And and by the

260
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 5: A trade they did think they never asked Jalen Hurts

261
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: to go win this thing for us, go.

262
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 3: Win it for I don't think Seattle did that with

263
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: Sam here.

264
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: No, but what I'm telling you is, if you're going

265
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 5: to put Jalen Hurts above Sam Donald in your in

266
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 5: your list, which I didn't, I don't, I didn't, right,

267
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 5: right exactly? Yeah, but we we for whatever reason. If

268
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: Sam Donald this was his second year, we'd be like, oh,

269
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 5: this is over, so this is gonna be the greatest.

270
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: He's on his way, right, No.

271
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: He would win six Super Bowls. Right.

272
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 5: What I'm what I'm saying is you have to and

273
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: this is what Sam is doing himself. You have to

274
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: eradicate all the foolishness. However, long he was in in

275
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: uh in. You gotta burn it, you gotta burn it.

276
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 5: I'm however long that was, it doesn't even count. The

277
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 5: book I am with you, I am. I am thumbs

278
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: up on Sam.

279
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,119
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to use what happened last weekend

280
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: as a reason to now elevate him over all of

281
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: these other quarterbacks who maybe four weeks ago. I didn't

282
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: necessarily think he was better then, because I don't take

283
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: two football games and then go that's it. I'm that

284
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: now means that's who you are. It's like how we golf, Ephraim.

285
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: Everybody does this. You swing twice, you hit in the woods,

286
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: you hit in the woods, you ask for a mulligan,

287
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: you hit it straight, and you.

288
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: Go, that was me.

289
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Now, so are those other balls? So are those other balls?

290
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: And so Sam is very good. We've now seen it.

291
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: Now that he has healthy coaches and teams around him,

292
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: he's very good.

293
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: I don't think he's the best.

294
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 5: I don't think he's the best either, But I wonder

295
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: what the odds are Seattle repeating are huh?

296
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: I bet it's not sixty to one.

297
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: Probably too high, is how I would answer that.

298
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: I bet it's not sixty to one.

299
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: I think they're the favorites super Bowl Odds twenty twenty seven.

300
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: I can pull this up right now. Yeah, Seahawks and

301
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 2: Rams are the two favorites. Yeah, and I will not

302
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: bet those are terrible bets.

303
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: They are because that's not I'm not gonna argue that.

304
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: That's not how it works. Like the you kid, just

305
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: be like, you're gonna win it. I got next year.

306
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, but it's gonna be healthy again, and

307
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: we're just gonna do like woo. No one's gonna spend

308
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: any time this offseason working on tape and figuring out

309
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: your weak points. No one's gonna do that. Your offensive

310
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: coordinator leaves, doesn't matter who. We're just gonna win it again.

311
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: I bet every asset I've got, they ain't repeating all

312
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 2: of it.

00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,119

427
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: go for four in a row.

428
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: I just think that what we're gonna get to Steve

429
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: here in just a sec I like, I literally think

430
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: what's across the board, from tanking to dunks that don't

431
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: matter to players who aren't currently healthy, winning the three

432
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: point contest, to finally doing Americans versus the world, only

433
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 2: to find some sort of a way that it just

434
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: ended up being Americans against Americans. All of this just

435
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: lands as offensive to the NBA fans.

436
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 5: It's not just not good, it's offensive.

437
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: You know what I'd rather do.

438
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: I have an idea.

439
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 5: I'd rather listen to Steve di Seger wax poetic than

440
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 5: watch the dunk contest.

441
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 4: Well, then let's wax on wax wax off.

442
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: There he goes.

443
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 8: NBA All Star Game was at the LA Clippers Arena

444
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 8: USA Stars. The victory. Does that mean anything to anybody?

445
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: For that?

446
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: The old people of young people? I know there was

447
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 3: old people and then there were young people.

448
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 8: I'm just assuming the old guys by the time that

449
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 8: got to the final, those were the ones that got

450
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 8: blown out because the final was forty seven to twenty

451
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 8: one in the last of the four twelve minute games

452
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 8: in LA. There was a new All Star format, two

453
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 8: teams of US players, one team of internationals, around robin

454
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 8: tournament MVP Anthony Edwards. The NBA season resumes on Thursday.

455
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 8: By the way, Steph Curry says he'll be in next

456
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 8: year's Three Point Contest in Phoenix. Saturday's contest in LA

457
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 8: went to Portland's injured Damian Lillard, his third title in

458
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 8: the last four years. Okay, so we had the team whatever,

459
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 8: the shooting Stars, that's what it's called competition, which included

460
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 8: retired players as part of your team. And then we

461
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 8: had the three Point Contest also yesterday, which was won

462
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 8: by somebody you will not see on the court in

463
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 8: the NBA this year. And then seemingly we had four

464
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 8: guys that we've never seen on an NBA court in

465
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 8: the slammed competition last night. So there's your wrap up

466
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 8: of All Star Saturday. Oh men's college basketball number eight

467
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 8: Illinois won seventy one fifty one against Indiana. And there's

468
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 8: breaking news that Kansas State is firing its head coach

469
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 8: Jerome Tang, a team that was one and eleven in

470
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,280

Speaker 2: It's the first time that I ever had any emotional

545
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,320

Speaker 3: Tour, really first time.

547
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 8: And why were you rooting for him last night?

548
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: Because he is an UNBA believable, lengthy, long comeback story

549
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: that I don't think anybody even saw coming.

550
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,000

00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: as as always we are live in the Fox Sports

557
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: Radio studios. Honestly, I sat here and I do this.

558
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: I feel like every year I'm kind of like, all right,

559
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: how can we come up with something that's sort of

560
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: a new angle to whatever is plaguing Because the NBA

561
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: thing is not just All Star Weekend. I mean All

562
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: Star Weekend was the backdrop where Adam Silver had to

563
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: be grilled about tanking, which we will get to at

564
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: the top of the hour. I love the NBA. You

565
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: you love the end the NBA. I'm not like out

566
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: on the NBA. But we're at this spot where it's

567
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 2: like I've decided it's no longer for the media and

568
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: the fans to keep coming up with the things that

569
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: they don't like and how to fix them.

570
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: You lead the way, NBA, and it's not our job.

571
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: No, just start.

572
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: Can I here's the one thing that the only thing

573
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: that any of.

574
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 3: Us are asking for. Can you please just care? That's it.

575
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: Just care.

576
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I'm asking for.

577
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't you want to do it this way, you

578
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: want to do it that way, But do something?

579
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: Please? Can you just care about basketball.

580
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 4: Year round?

581
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: Start there, and then we can do all kinds of

582
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: great things. But if you keep telling me, well, a

583
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: third of the league is benching at stars in the

584
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. But don't worry. In November, we paint the

585
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 2: courts a different color and woo certain players to go

586
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: to Vegas so they can make even more money.

587
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 3: So don't worry. That's what we're doing.

588
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: I just.

589
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do. Man. If they don't care,

590
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: I don't know how we're supposed to do.

591
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 5: You're right this hole, sitting guys out in the fourth

592
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 5: quarter and losing games to tank. It's hard to watch.

593
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 5: It's hard to watch, and I'm a huge fan. Yeah,

594
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: and those games are beyond beyond into Those games cost

595
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 5: way too much money to be playing with people like that.

596
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 5: You're just gonna play in our face. He's gonna play

597
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 5: in our face. Okay, thousands of dollars to go to

598
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 5: the game, oh dude, and eat at the game, in

599
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 5: the park, at the game, and then you put an

600
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 5: inferior product on the court. Because what you want a

601
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 5: draft pick that may or may not pan out. It's

602
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 5: not like the NFL. You don't get the number one

603
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: pick if you have the worst record.

604
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, you shouldn't hello, right, Like that's

605
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: the easiest quick fix, is that.

606
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: Like, just stop incentivizing losing.

607
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: It's bad, man, it really.

608
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: It's brutal. And that's what I mean by its offensive.

609
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: It's offensive. I know that everybody can speak to it.

610
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: They can go, oh, load management. This is what the

611
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: doctors say. Oh take well, this is how you get

612
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,240

Speaker 5: in twenty thirty games, Just like, wait a minute, what

626
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 5: are we doing?

627
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 4: What are we doing?

628
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: A lot to get to with this what Adam Silver

629
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: had to say about the fundamentals of this, we'll get

630
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 2: to at the top of the hour. I do want

631
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: to ask you also coming up just about Dame and

632
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: whether a three point contest bothered you considering this as

633
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 2: somebody who is not active and able to play basketball

634
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: right now, it's kind of like Mac McClung plus, if

635
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 2: you will. So let's get into that a little bit.

636
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 2: That's a from up marks Fox Sports Radio.

637
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

638
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: I might need to do a or we we a

639
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: from we might need to do a like a Kevin

640
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: Durant Berner account deep dive.

641
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, are you following this?

642
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: I'm just starting to like be made aware of this

643
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: and dive in and read and it's about trash talking

644
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: teammates and now it might be.

645
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 3: That I don't know. Now he's like.

646
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: Accusing his Days of the Warriors about being too much

647
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: about just everything for staphf you'll get waived if you

648
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: if you don't set screens and I don't know we.

649
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 3: Are you aware of this? Have you seen all this today?

650
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: I have not? All right, I've been at a three tournament. Yeah, no,

651
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: good for you if you don't. I figure most days

652
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 2: if somebody brings up a burner account to you and

653
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 2: you're like, I don't know what that means, that means

654
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: you have a life. So that's good. I've just been

655
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: made aware of this and I am. I am currently

656
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 2: I'm currently trying to deep dive. So we'll we'll maybe

657
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: have a little bit of this of this later.

658
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, little tease.

659
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's what we do here in the Fox

660
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: Sports radio studios.

661
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 3: Did you have any issue with Dame Lillard being in

662
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 3: the three point context.

663
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: To play this year?

664
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: Don't think so? Then?

665
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 4: Yes, I do.

666
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, I do.

667
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

668
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 5: It's for active flares. Active flares, say it. And it

669
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 5: should be for players on an active roster to partake

670
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 5: in any of the All Star weekend. That's what it

671
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 5: should be. Shouldn't just be G League guys or guys

672
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: are hurt who still want to, you know, being part

673
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 5: of the All Star I don't like that.

674
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 4: I don't. I think you need.

675
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 5: To be physically healthy playing in the games for your

676
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 5: team to compete. Otherwise it just feels weird, like we

677
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 5: we fell in love with Matt McClung in the last

678
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 5: three years, and no one got to see him play

679
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 5: an NBA game.

680
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 3: M hm, because he's not an NBA player.

681
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: Still, right, He's made more money winning Dunk Contest than

682
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 5: he had as playing in the NBA or the.

683
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 4: G League period. That's that's a fact.

684
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 3: Yep.

685
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like, I don't know in that the whole

686
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: Dunk Contest thing over the last few years, Like, why

687
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 2: couldn't you just start go go recruit people at Rucker Park.

688
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 5: They got a whole league, like a professional dunkers. Just

689
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 5: make it that and have all the NBA guys just watch, right,

690
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 5: all the NBA guys that sit and they watch, they

691
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 5: get entertained like the rest of us. I guarantee you

692
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 5: it'd be better than watching guys in the NBA that

693
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 5: we will, we have, or maybe won't ever see playing

694
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 5: the game.

695
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: Yep, I just again this For me, it all comes

696
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: from the same space. And and I don't want it

697
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: to be fuddy duddy. I don't want it to be

698
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 2: overly serious.

699
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: I mean I don't.

700
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: I don't lose any sleep over this, but I would

701
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 2: say this directly to Dame Lillard's face. It's just like,

702
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: do you guys understand that the NBA fan right now

703
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: is dying to spend money to watch you play hard

704
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: basketball and you won't. But what you will do is

705
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: rub their noses in it. You will tank, you will

706
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: load manage, you will not be available, but then show

707
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: up for other stuff. You will start playing hard at

708
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: the NBA Cup when there's an extra five hundred K

709
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: on the line for you. It is all offensive and

710
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they know it, but that's

711
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 2: how it lands to people in their pocket books.

712
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's something's got to be done.

713
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 3: Man.

714
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 4: It's insulting.

715
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: It's pretty rough, and tanking is at the center of it.

716
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: Adam Silver forced to address it this week, will play

717
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: that for you coming out next.

718
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

719
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Off we go into the night, broadcasting live from

720
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios from Ephram and I. The

721
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: first time we've been able to connect since the Seattle

722
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: Seahawks were crowned Super Bowl champions. So a little bit

723
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: of NFL to get to, but also an opportunity to

724
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 2: kind of set the table for a lot of the

725
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: things that we've been watching and dealing with in the

726
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: NBA and center stage as they get to All Star

727
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: weekend is exactly what the NBA, checks notes, does not

728
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: want center stage when they get to All Star weekend,

729
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: which is a bunch of people kind of sitting around

730
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: looking at him Silver going how the hell are you

731
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: gonna fix this problem? And it's interesting too, Ephraim, because

732
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: they had no choice but to signal to the world

733
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: the week leading up to the All Star Game that

734
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: this was a problem because they stepped in, to my

735
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 2: knowledge maybe for one of the first times, and find teams,

736
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: two teams for their sort of lineup conduct major players

737
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: healthy as can be, sitting out down the stretch of

738
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 2: basketball games in.

739
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 3: An effort to not win. And so it's interesting.

740
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: You know, you were talking about all the injuries and

741
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: the calf strains that are going on in the league,

742
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 2: and my weekday co host actually was listening to us,

743
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: and he sent me a text and he said, the

744
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: NBA calf strain is kind of like Major League Baseball,

745
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: Tommy John.

746
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: It's just a classic overuse injury.

747
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 2: And I responded to him, I said, I would buy

748
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: that if I bought that all of these were calf strains.

749
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: But I don't. And that's the problem. I don't buy

750
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 2: anything that the NBA is telling me right now. I

751
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: just you can't play in the first order, in the

752
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: second quarter, and then third quarter and then sit and

753
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 2: go ooh, capstrain.

754
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's the it's the new back, right.

755
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: It's just like you're telling me an injury that I

756
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: can't check, and it's often a precursor to a much

757
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 2: bigger injury, and so it's a scary one.

758
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 3: And so everyone just kind of goes okay, calf strain.

759
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: But you know, it's funny with the you remember this,

760
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: we talked about it with the San Francisco forty nine

761
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: ers during training camp this year, Juwan Jennings had a

762
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 2: calf strain.

763
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: He also didn't like his contract.

764
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: And then when they gave him a new bonus structure,

765
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: but his calf was better.

766
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 3: And then he played football immediately.

767
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: So you cannot convince me that that's not what's going

768
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: on right now in the NBA. And for example, I

769
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 2: do not buy that Giannis Aten a couple has a

770
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 2: caps right I don't.

771
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 5: Maybe, Well, I'll tell you what. When I saw the

772
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 5: Yianni's injury, I thought he blew his achilles up. Okay,

773
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 5: so if you go back and look at what happened,

774
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 5: I said, Oh, I remember it. The way he flipped

775
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 5: onto the floor. I was like, oh, he looked behind

776
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 5: him and then jumped up and fell down. I was like,

777
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 5: oh snap. So I you know, I don't want to

778
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 5: say all cap strings are are false, No, but there

779
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 5: is a good ninety percent of them that are well.

780
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 3: And that I mean, that's the problem.

781
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna be over here and I'm gonna accuse

782
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: people of faking who aren't, because I know some are.

783
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 2: And that's that's what we've got. We've got, but we're

784
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: all crying wolf right now.

785
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just hard to break.

786
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so many people, and then guys getting

787
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 5: traded and then they're just not like Anthony Davis probably

788
00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 5: won't suit up for the Wizards ever, right Like I'm like, well,

789
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 5: what okay?

790
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 3: What right?

791
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 2: And and and Jaron Jackson is out for the year.

792
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: Why why he was just playing? And then you got

793
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: fined and you're like, okay, we'll make it. We'll make

794
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 2: it really really look like an injury. Now he's out

795
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: for the year. Can't find us now when we sit

796
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: him in the fourth quarter, because we're gonna sit him

797
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: in the first, second and third two.

798
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 4: It's just a bad product, man.

799
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 5: And you know the problem is when April comes in

800
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 5: the playoff start, we forget about the Monday, the Mutton

801
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: identity of of of what's going on now. And you know,

802
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 5: historically the NBA picks up after All Star weekend because

803
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 5: you're pass halfway. And so it's one of those situations

804
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 5: where the games will teams are now posturing for to

805
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 5: get out of the play play in bracket, but to

806
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 5: solidify themselves with the playoff spot. So the games are

807
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 5: getting more competitive. But for those teams tanking, it's just oh,

808
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 5: we played the Lakers played Brooklyn, I think last week

809
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 5: or the week before it. It was like forty seven

810
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 5: to nineteen at the end of the first quarter.

811
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.

812
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, well, this is like a scrimmage, right,

813
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 5: an exhibition game.

814
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: And then the good teams do their own version of it,

815
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 2: which is not a tank. They're not trying to lose

816
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 2: because they're in the playoffs, but they are strategically managing

817
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 2: the health of their players. And for instance, the Spurs

818
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: were in LA to play the Lakers last week, and

819
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 2: I know nobody played Victor when Binnonima scored a thousand

820
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 2: points in the first half.

821
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, because no one played.

822
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 3: Nobody played, nobody played.

823
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: If you win a game and you've got another game

824
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: the next night, they announce you out before the.

825
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 4: Before you leave the stadium from you.

826
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 3: That's right.

827
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: You get to your car and they're like Lebron and

828
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: Luca and Reeves. They're out, out, out, out out. Okay, okay.

829
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 2: If I've got tickets to that game, I'm offended. I

830
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: know you're healthy. You just played. I just watched you play.

831
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 2: So all right, let's hear what Adam Silver had to

832
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: say about it. Here here's a piece of what was

833
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: said this week as everybody started to question, what are

834
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 2: you going to do about the tanking situation?

835
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 3: Here's Adam Silver.

836
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 9: Are we seeing behavior that is worse this year than

837
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 9: we've seen in recent memory? Yes, is my view, and

838
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 9: which was what led to those to those fines, and

839
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 9: not just those finds, but to my statement that we're

840
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 9: going to be looking more closely at the totality of

841
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 9: all the circumstances this season in terms of team's behavior

842
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 9: and very intentionally wanted teams to be unnoticed.

843
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 3: Well, how does that threat grab you?

844
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 5: I mean.

845
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: Defining moment?

846
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 2: I think for Adam Silver, he had one very very

847
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 2: early in his tenure as NBA Commissioner with the whole

848
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 2: Donald Sterling situation. He handled it very well. He got

849
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: the NBA world on his side very quickly. He was swift,

850
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: He carried a very very heavy hand, and Donald Sterling

851
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: was banned for life. And I thought he handled that

852
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: correctly and very well, and he had a lot of

853
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 2: people on his side. And I think that that has

854
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 2: officially now sort of I don't want to say warn off,

855
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 2: but we've arrived at a new defining moment for Adam Silver.

856
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 3: It's great that he's acknowledging it.

857
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: It's great that they're going to be quote unquote really

858
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: really looking at it. I think it comes off a

859
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: little bit weird that he's like, yeah, we're gonna take

860
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 2: a look. What do you mean you're gonna take a

861
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 2: look at this? Where have you been this? This has

862
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: been going on for a long time. It's now just

863
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: gotten egregious and just unavoidable. Like there's no way to

864
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: explain your way out of all of this. So you

865
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: might be a little bit too late. You're playing catch up.

866
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 2: But I don't know, man, there, I don't know if

867
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: these things need to be part of the collective bargaining

868
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: agreement or whatever.

869
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: I really don't know those rules, but it.

870
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: Certainly seems to me with all the ideas you hear,

871
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: the easiest one is just like you don't get odds anymore.

872
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 2: You don't get odds on the first pick. If you

873
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: lose the most games, you don't get that anymore. If

874
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: you miss the playoffs, y'all are your name's all going

875
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 2: to a hat.

876
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 3: That's it. That's right.

877
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 4: So if you finished a pick the name up.

878
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 3: There you go, There you go.

879
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: My dog will show up and you can wrap all

880
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 2: the numbers in treats and we'll see.

881
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 3: Which one she picks.

882
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: Like, if you finish in the eleven seed one game

883
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 2: out of that play in tournament, or even if you're

884
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: one of the teams that goes into the play in

885
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: tournament gets knocked out, all of you non playoff teams,

886
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: you all in the bucket. So if you want to

887
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 2: purposefully miss the playoffs, okay, but the twelve win Sacramento

888
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 2: Kings and the twenty four win.

889
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls, same chance, same chance.

890
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 4: Start there, same chance.

891
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 2: Just start there, because that will I think, eliminate at

892
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: least some of the jockeying that you're watching right now.

893
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: There's this log jam of teams with twelve to fifteen

894
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 2: wins Nets, Pacers, Wizards, Pelicans, Kings, and you can tell

895
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 2: they're all deafly afraid of winning.

896
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: A game like you. In one game, you jump like

897
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: five teams. Yep.

898
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 2: So the Kings are doing a great job. They've lost

899
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 2: fourteen in a row.

900
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 4: That's hard to do. It's hard to do, man.

901
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hilarious when these two teams play each other.

902
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 5: Hilarious, right, they don't. No, you shoot it, No, you

903
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 5: shoot it, right, No, you shoot it. Somebody had I

904
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 5: was listening to something and somebody had a good idea.

905
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 5: It's really funny and really radical. Two teams trying to tank.

906
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 5: What you should do is you should switch sides. Every

907
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 5: point they score goes to the opposing team, and every

908
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 5: point the opposing team scores, it goes to you.

909
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 3: There you go playing their ass off.

910
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 4: They would be balling. M h, they would be balling.

911
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 4: That's a good way to do that.

912
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 2: Tom Hobistrow and Beaumonti Jones got together on a podcast

913
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 2: this week.

914
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 3: And suggested just do away with the draft entirely. How

915
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 3: does that grab you?

916
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. That's tough.

917
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 3: Basically, just turn it into college sports.

918
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 4: But how do you place the kids?

919
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 2: You give everybody the same free agent budget and you

920
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 2: let them go recruit them.

921
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 5: No, that I agree, But that's that's no. No, what's

922
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 5: what's on The one will be in Utah? No, one

923
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 5: be in New Orleans?

924
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 3: Would you would you be in Utah or New Orleans?

925
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 2: If, for instance, so the Lakers and the Knicks, they

926
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 2: get essentially the Lakers the Knicks would have the first

927
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 2: picks every year.

928
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 3: Right, But you Miami.

929
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: Okay, so but they get those guys, but their free

930
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: agent budget it is now going down.

931
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then one player in basketball, one player can

932
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 5: change your franchise for totally fifteen years.

933
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 3: Yep.

934
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, other teams aren't going to sign up.

935
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, we know the Lakers in the New York

936
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 5: and they get the top three guys, but we gonna

937
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 5: get no because after the top three, good luck.

938
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 3: Well, but sometimes you're wrong.

939
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes you are wrong, you know what I mean.

940
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 2: But I'm with you for me. This is not this

941
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 2: is not a fix. It was funny. I think it

942
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: was Bomani actually equipped He's like, you could just gather

943
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: everybody together and and and let the teams pay the kids,

944
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 2: and the kids would join the teams. He goes, you

945
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 2: could call it. He goes, well, I wonder if we

946
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 2: can come up with a name with it. How about

947
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: National Signing Day?

948
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 3: That's funny.

949
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay, I'll take it because I know

950
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 5: our team is you win get more?

951
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 4: Yeah more? Yes, is than those.

952
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the like my perspective. I know how

953
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 2: popular college sports are around this country. I live in

954
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: a very pro sports heavy town, and I look at

955
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 2: that and I go, So, you want to bring the

956
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: college way of acquiring talent to the pros because you

957
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: think what's going on in the pros is somehow being corrupted.

958
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 2: So you'd like to fix the corruption by bringing the

959
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 2: college way of doing it. Huh Okay, okay, great, let's

960
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 2: let's do that. So No, I'm I'm with you. I

961
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 2: do not think that's a fix in any way, shape

962
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: or form. And the draft, certainly in some of these sports,

963
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 2: NFL is chief, but like the draft itself is becoming

964
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 2: very very popular.

965
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: Always has been, but it's growing every year.

966
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 2: It's becoming a you know, a huge piece of content

967
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: and a moment for people to yeah, so to a

968
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 2: three day event. No, we're not giving that up. I

969
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 2: just think like, you don't have to be so over

970
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 2: the top with your ideas. Just stop incentivizing losing.

971
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: That's it.

972
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 4: I don't feel like this is not hard. It's not

973
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 4: that hard.

974
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I don't know what what is

975
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 3: all of that?

976
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna look at it like what this isn't

977
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 2: This isn't hard, And I don't even why why why

978
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: does the league feel like they're winning with the current strategy?

979
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 3: Just do it and then they have nothing to.

980
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 5: Lose, nothing at all, and we, as the fans, get

981
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 5: everything to gain.

982
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 4: Hmmm, remember when it was about the fans?

983
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 3: I do? I do remember that well?

984
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: And and like I mean, shove off with this idea

985
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 2: of like, well, but that's not fair, like we want

986
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 2: we want, we want fair you want fairness, fairness? Why

987
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: why is their team in Sacramento? Why is their team

988
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 2: in San Antonio, Oklahoma City? I know that the two

989
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 2: best teams right now, but like, it's not fair now.

990
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 3: It's not fair nothing is. How about make it fair

991
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 3: for the fans? Hmmm. I don't know. We must be

992
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 3: over we must be over simplifying this on.

993
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 5: Some level, it seems like it's too easy, right, Like

994
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 5: how has no one else.

995
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 3: Thought of this?

996
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 2: So anyway, okay, speaking of all Stars, there's two specific

997
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 2: ones that we need to discuss. Both very popular and

998
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: you could argue there are two of the best reputations

999
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 2: in the entire sport for the last handful of years,

1000
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: and I think both of them are at at crossroads.

1001
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that coming up next with you

1002
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,399

1022
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: I have officially arrived at Yannis is super annoying.

1023
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

1024
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 2: He is, Like, dude, what's the quote today? The quote

1025
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 2: today from be honest is, as of today, I'm committed

1026
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 2: to the bucks. Okay, so this foul, like, have you

1027
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 2: know I'm been following this over the last handful of months.

1028
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 2: It's gone from I'll never request the trade from the Bucks.

1029
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 3: I mean, but I do want to win Champion and Chips.

1030
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 2: And so you know, and I have dreamed of joining

1031
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 2: the Knicks.

1032
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 3: But uh, I would never request a trade from the Bucks.

1033
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,439
Speaker 2: Except for every NBA reporter who's tapped in on any

1034
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 2: level has been reporting off and on for the better

1035
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 2: part of a year that behind the scenes, you're.

1036
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 3: Demanding a trade from the Bucks.

1037
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 2: Then the trade deadline gets entirely hijacked by you, and

1038
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 2: you alone, your name takes over the NBA trade deadline.

1039
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: A week and a half ago Thursday, we arrive at

1040
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,479
Speaker 2: the deadline and come to find out nobody was even

1041
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 2: close to getting Yannis, and most teams report we don't

1042
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: think the Bucks are even serious about trading Yannis.

1043
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 3: Then you have the nerve to go to Twitter.

1044
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: And right, legends don't chase, they attract okay.

1045
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 5: And.

1046
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Millions upon millions upon millions of dollars are made wagering

1047
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 2: on whether or not you're gonna get traded on some

1048
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 2: company's website called Calshie. And the day after the deadline,

1049
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: you come out as a major investor. Holy crap, dude,

1050
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: this is the most passive, aggressive, terrible story I've ever heard.

1051
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 2: But he's Giannis and he's nice and Middle America cheese curds, Yannis.

1052
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, wolf in sheep's clothing. You got two

1053
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 2: brothers on the team. Is he just behind the scenes

1054
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: strong arming the world?

1055
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 3: And we don't know?

1056
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Lebron James gets ripped sideways for a year because his

1057
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 2: son is second round draft pick.

1058
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 3: But his uncle is not on the team, sitting next

1059
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 3: to like, what is going on with this dude?

1060
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, Dude, I to me too much smoke

1061
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 2: and I'm out on Yiannis.

1062
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't dig this dude at

1063
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 3: all anymore at all.

1064
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 4: So you wouldn't want him in Golden Steak.

1065
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 10: Well, it's an interesting question, right, Like, I mean, you

1066
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 10: know what I I'm done with Dennis, you know what

1067
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 10: I'm finished wif hey, Golden Steak can get him?

1068
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 4: Hey, you know, so let me get this straight.

1069
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: No, but for real, I I wouldn't want him if

1070
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: it was going to be like, yeah.

1071
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 3: Let's go there for a year and a half.

1072
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 2: Let's see what Steph's got going on, like all the

1073
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 2: stories behind the scenes are that you know he's got

1074
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: that's not where he wants to be. And I'm like,

1075
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 2: if he if he want to be here, do not

1076
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 2: trade for him?

1077
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 3: Do not.

1078
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 2: It's probably not the right thing for the Warriors to do,

1079
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 2: to be honest with you.

1080
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 3: What is the right thing for them? The hell of a.

1081
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 2: Question to go back in time and fix their strategic approach.

1082
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I mean they've been trying to play two

1083
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: different errors at once for about five years.

1084
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 3: Is finally blown up in their face. But do you

1085
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 3: want to.

1086
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Trade seven years of first round assets when all of

1087
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 2: your stars are thirty seven and thirty eight years old

1088
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 2: and hurt?

1089
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:40,919
Speaker 3: Does that make any sense to you? No?

1090
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 2: So, no it doesn't. Yeah, I'm the honest thing. It's

1091
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,439
Speaker 2: like anything else. When a star can come to your team,

1092
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 2: you say yes, but it's probably not.

1093
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 5: The right thing to do. It's just interesting, man. I

1094
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 5: think you know, when you look at the Grant scheme

1095
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 5: of things, only one person can give us true insight,

1096
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 5: and that's Steve. Insightful to say.

1097
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 8: And a good evening to you once again.

1098
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 3: Let's start Steve.

1099
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 8: Hello there, Let's start with the NBA All Star Game,

Speaker 8: who's on the Stars, we don't know who's on the stripes,

1102
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,680

01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 8: in the last four years. Today there were four twelve

1111

1144
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 8: on I believe every other team that's ever existed in

1145
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 8: the history of the national Pitchers and catchers reported to

1146
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 8: spring training this past week. The first full squad workouts

1147
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 8: started this weekend, and the first exhibition games or this Friday.

1148
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 8: And here we are past Valentine's Day. The World Baseball

1149
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 8: Classic which was so great a few years ago, March sixth,

1150
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 8: that starts in Houston with Team USA's opener against Brazil

1151
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 8: that night. As for the Olympics, US men's hockey won

1152
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 8: five to one over Germany to go to three and zero,

1153
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 8: winning their group. Captain Austin Matthews two goals and an

1154
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 8: assist Canada ten to two over France to earn the

1155
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 8: top seed for this week. As we head to our quarterfinals,

1156
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 8: the NHL is off for the Olympic break. The NHL

1157
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 8: doesn't resume its schedule until Wednesday, the twenty fifth. About

1158
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty NHL players are in Milan to

1159
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 8: represent their respective countries. Most our first time Olympians since

1160
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 8: the NHL was out of the Olympics business for over

1161
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 8: a decade. Finland won on Saturday eleven nothing over Italy.

1162
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 8: You see, the host nation at an Olympics gets to

1163
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 8: enter every sport, whether you're good or not. Now, the

1164
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 8: Italians on the ice had only lost five to two

1165
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 8: on Wednesday, I only lost three to two on Friday.

1166
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 8: But in the sixty minute game yesterday against Finland, Italy

1167
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 8: was out shot sixty two to fifteen against Finland. It

1168
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 8: was the most lopsided Olympic result in men's hockey since

1169
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 8: nineteen eighty eight. But you see, gold differential is a

1170
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 8: tiebreaker in this tournament, so you talk about incentives in

1171
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 8: the NBA, there was most definitely an incentive for Finland

1172
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 8: to keep scoring, because then they wound up winning the

1173
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 8: tiebreaker were declared the best of the second place teams.

1174
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 8: They avoid Tuesday's playing games. Finland will face maybe Italy

1175
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 8: again on Wednesday in a quarterfinal. That doesn't seem likely, people,

1176
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 8: but mathematically that's at least possible at this point. The US,

1177
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 8: Who's going to be in a quarterfinal on Wednesday. Canada,

1178
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 8: the top overall seed, will be in a quarterfinal on Wednesday.

1179
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 3: Back to you, great stuff, Steve, Absolutely.

1180
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 2: You know what, while we're on the Winter Olympics, I've

1181
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: been having this conversation with a handful of people in

1182
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: my life the last few days. I'd love to throw

1183
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: it to both of you. I don't understand the Winter Olympics.

1184
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 2: I can never like and this is no shade in

1185
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: any sport, it's all amazing. Part of this is that

1186
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 2: I've lived in California my whole life, and I just

1187
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 2: don't do snow.

1188
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 8: But like where a state where the Winter Olympics has

1189
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 8: been hosted.

1190
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 2: Fairpoint, fair Point, and there's a ton of snow coming

1191
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 2: here this week.

1192
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: But that's not what I'm getting at. What I'm getting

1193
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 3: at is.

1194
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 2: Whenever I see and not all of these sports, I

1195
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 2: get at a lot of people ski, a lot of

1196
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 2: the sports When I see them, I'm always like, how

1197
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 2: did you get.

1198
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 3: Identified as a kid as that? Like?

1199
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 2: Who was like, you know what little Bob is into?

1200
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 2: He does lose?

1201
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm guessing that Bob's led. For example, some people

1202
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 8: were simply identified because they were already athletes, made pre

1203
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 8: existing skills.

1204
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 2: So there's these sports, right, and obviously curling, like, how

1205
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 2: did anyone did you get up at four in the

1206
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 2: morning and go to the to the ice, to the

1207
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 2: ice and you wouldn't like did you start as a

1208
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 2: janitor and you're just like this broom feels good in

1209
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 2: my hands and then makes the like I don't get.

1210
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 8: The curling club is what you're referring to. They go

1211
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 8: live to the curling club in Duluth for some of

1212
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 8: the action.

1213
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 3: How did how and when does this start?

1214
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 2: And who decided let's cross country ski and then fall

1215
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 2: to the ground and shoot stuff like I just don't

1216
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to throw shade at.

1217
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 8: Just the old comedians live for that is it looks

1218
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 8: like the guys at the beginning of every James Bond movie. Okay, right,

1219
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 8: but it is amazing that it's incredible and puffin you

1220
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 8: can actually hit a target.

1221
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 2: No, like I'm in, but I always have these weird

1222
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 2: thoughts like you had you end up there, buddy, Like

1223
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, in a lot of Olympic sports, if you

1224
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 2: win gold, then there's this big world waiting for you. You

1225
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 2: could go pro, you could this, that the other. If

1226
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 2: you cross country skiing, you fall and you shoot stuff

1227
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 2: and then you get a gold.

1228
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 3: What happens next?

1229
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 8: If you're from Norway, you're a legend. Okay, buy anything

1230
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 8: in any restaurant.

1231
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 3: Ever.

1232
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 8: Again, what if you're not from Norway or speed skating

1233
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 8: with Netherlands?

1234
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 4: Then you go back to your other job.

1235
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 3: I always selling insurance Monday morning.

1236
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 8: Well, there's a snowboarder for the US that I believe

1237
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 8: was forty at the previous Olympics and qualified to be in.

1238
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:51,560
Speaker 8: I saw him in the team relay of the snowboarding,

1239
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 8: which is actually a fun one to watch because instead

1240
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 8: of being timed or having judges, you literally are going

1241
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 8: up against three other snowboarders down the mountain. Whoever finishes first.

1242
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 2: What's the uh? Is it just called the ski jump?

1243
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: You know when they go flying down the It's just

1244
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 2: the ski jump?

1245
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 8: Correct?

1246
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 2: So when I watched that, I'm like how did that

1247
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 2: go the first time you try?

1248
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,600
Speaker 8: Especially because they are going literally flying more than the

1249
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 8: length of the football field.

1250
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 3: Right.

1251
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: So when I watched that and they go, I'm like,

1252
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,520
Speaker 2: the first time you did that, was there an ambulance

1253
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 2: waiting for you?

1254
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 3: Like? How did you not die?

1255
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 8: It's like some of the other tricks that you know,

1256
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 8: because some people there is I don't know if you're

1257
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 8: aware a sport where on skis you go off the

1258
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 8: ski jump and do tricks and then land holding ski poles.

1259
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 8: Uh there, when you try the tricks and the revolutions,

1260
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 8: you land into basically a pit like your kids would

1261
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 8: play with at the McDonald's play lane.

1262
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, like a big foam pit.

1263
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 8: So your first venture, i'm guessing would be something like that.

1264
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 5: Not a lot of brothers in the winter, I mean, right, man,

1265
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:08,719
Speaker 5: we're skirting around the issue.

1266
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say, like, like.

1267
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 3: Your brother ever been never been bit by a shark?

1268
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 5: We're tropical people, man, it's uh I Bob sled.

1269
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, waking Bob Sled.

1270
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 4: We're sprinkled in there. We sprinkled.

1271
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 3: We do well when we're in there.

1272
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 5: But you know, y'all gonna be able to hold onto

1273
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 5: that one for for a long time.

1274
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 4: Man, y'all got that take it away.

1275
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 3: I'm trying to both be impressed.

1276
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 4: Not a lot of curling teams with Jamal and Ruthor.

1277
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,719
Speaker 8: Apparently Bob Sledging features the highest concentration of black athletes.

1278
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 8: When they make sense, Wayne herscher Walker retired. They need

1279
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 8: somebody big, athletic and fast and cool.

1280
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 2: Runnings was a fun movie a long time ago, so

1281
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 2: maybe that inspired some people.

1282
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1283
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the outside of that, that's what

1284
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like, I'm impressed, you all are incredible, but

1285
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 2: I can't watch it without going, how the hell did

1286
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 2: this happen? How do we get here? I like, I'd

1287
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 2: love to interview people. I want the story, Like that's

1288
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 2: what I do. I watched the dude flying through the

1289
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 2: air and I want to grab him and his family

1290
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 2: and go how did this happen?

1291
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 8: You're not just the only person saying, Hey, I'm from California.

1292
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 8: I'm unfamiliar with people around me participating in this Great

1293
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 8: Britain the amazing stat today they want a couple of

1294
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 8: golds won in skeleton, where whereas lose you go down

1295
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 8: on your back and you're kind of trying to see

1296
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 8: the course in front of you. Skeleton, you're literally on

1297
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 8: your stomach head first. I made there's not a lot

1298
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 8: of maybe thinking going on and you are going head first,

1299
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 8: So maybe that something happened in the past. But Great

1300
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 8: Britain won a gold medal in skeleton. Apparently they also

1301
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 8: won a gold medal in something on the snow relay

1302
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 8: in one of the events I was talking about prior

1303
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 8: the whole country. Actually it's Great Britain, which is four

1304
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 8: countries combined. Great Britain Team GB had literally never won

1305
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 8: a gold medal in anything that was on snow ever

1306
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 8: until today.

1307
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, what to day.

1308
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 8: Even the host of NBC in that day part who

1309
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 8: is British shows the Highlight and said, who knew anybody

1310
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 8: from Britain was good at this?

1311
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm still not convinced that anyone's good at this.

1312
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 2: There was a I watched a stand up comedy sketch

1313
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: last week about luge and the skeleton and they're like,

1314
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: it's the only sport I've ever seen where you can't

1315
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 2: tell if the athletes are doing this for or against

1316
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 2: their will, Like if somebody just strapped you to that

1317
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,520
Speaker 2: board and shoved you.

1318
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: You're a loser.

1319
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: You Oh god, I'm not kidding.

1320
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 8: That was a Saturday Night Live skid. Like two weeks ago.

1321
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 8: One of the female performers the comedians on Saturday Night

1322
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 8: Live played somebody on luge who's screaming and yelling at

1323
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 8: the starting light. I don't want to go, I'm sick,

1324
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 8: I can't go, I'm not And then they shove her

1325
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 8: down and she's screaming and they use that clip like

1326
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 8: for an NBC promo. You should break that up.

1327
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 3: And I bet you won't.

1328
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 2: That's the other thing, like, I don't know what's your going,

1329
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: what is stopping you?

1330
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 4: What has made me?

1331
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Hilarious? So anyway, that's my Winter Olympics breakdown.

1332
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 2: I hope everybody got a lot out of that. I

1333
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 2: have no clue how this all, Like this whole event,

1334
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 2: I just stare at it with my chin on the floor, going,

1335
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how y'all got here.

1336
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 8: So well, there was a guy on the men's curling

1337
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 8: who was just the alternate. He was never going to

1338
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 8: get in, but the US was getting blown out a

1339
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 8: couple of days ago, and the captain said, just for

1340
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 8: the last two innings go in, and so he set

1341
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 8: the record for the oldest guy ever in the Winter Olympics.

1342
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 8: I believe he's over fifty.

1343
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 3: What, oh god, he's like the.

1344
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 8: He threw a couple of rocks down the ice an Olympian. Yeah,

1345
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 8: if you can shoot straight, sure.

1346
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just shuffleboard on ice.

1347
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 5: I don't have the cartilage for that. Yeah, I don't

1348
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 5: have the cartage.

1349
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 8: And you could use a chair.

1350
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't.

1351
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,799
Speaker 4: Maniscus be sitting outside my body.

1352
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 3: Oh man, Okay, Steve, awesome.

1353
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 2: I already can't wait to talk to you again in forty

1354
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 2: five minutes from I'd love to hear your thoughts on

1355
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Giannis And at the top of the hour, I feel

1356
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:50,919
Speaker 2: like I've done enough research on Kevin Durant's burner accounts

1357
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 2: to at least have a conversation with you about it. Okay, okay,

1358
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 2: So that's all coming up next here on the Fox

1359
01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios.

1360
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 3: That's Eve from my Mark Fox Sports Rado.

1361
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

1362
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 2: Radio, all right, We're sitting here in the Fox Sports

1363
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,799
Speaker 2: Radio studios because that's what we do. That's from Salama.

1364
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 2: Mark Willard back together again in the whole new world

1365
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 2: it's called the non football world that we live in

1366
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 2: for the next boy. I mean, I only want to

1367
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 2: say eight months, nine months. I mean, there's gonna be

1368
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 2: the draft, there's gonna be free agency, combine, there's gonna

1369
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,879
Speaker 2: be all kinds of stuff, but no games, no games,

1370
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 2: no games for quite some time.

1371
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 3: So we'll get into that whole world and that life.

1372
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 2: But I feel like we didn't quite I don't get

1373
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 2: your side of the story on the whole Yannis thing

1374
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: that are throughout the beginning of the hour.

1375
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 3: This feels passive aggressive.

1376
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 2: This feels like he won't just pick a side, and

1377
01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's frustrating.

1378
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 5: I mean, he has passive aggressive. He's he doesn't want

1379
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 5: to look like the bad guy, so he he obviously

1380
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 5: wants out of Milwaukee, but he doesn't want to be

1381
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 5: that guy who's like, I want out of Milwaukee, like

1382
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 5: so many of his contemporaries. So he's trying to toll

1383
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 5: a line and.

1384
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 4: And and.

1385
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 3: Tell you how he feels without telling you how he feels.

1386
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 5: It's like being in a broken relationship but you're just

1387
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 5: staying in it for the kids. He may be staying

1388
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 5: in the relationship with Milwaukee for his brother, his brothers.

1389
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 3: This is the weirdest story in sports.

1390
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 5: But they're not going to ever play on an NBA

1391
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 5: team without him, of course not again. I mean they

1392
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 5: all three of won championships, ironically enough, which is unbelievable.

1393
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 5: So are you are you saying is I have to

1394
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 5: all I have to do is be one of the

1395
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 5: top five NBA players and I can get my family

1396
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 5: in the league. I know, Jordan is like, what what

1397
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 5: got my brother in the league? I could have got

1398
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 5: my kids in the league.

1399
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 2: So fifty five million a year on the court, I

1400
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,480
Speaker 2: have no idea how many millions off the court internationally

1401
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 2: and beyond. And and you still need to get your

1402
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 2: brothers a job.

1403
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 3: Still got to give them a job. Let's just give

1404
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 3: him a few million dollars call of a day and see.

1405
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're his older brothers, So Yiannis. He may think

1406
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 5: his older brother is better than him. That's usually how

1407
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 5: it goes, right, Like my big brother taught me how

1408
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 5: to play basketball.

1409
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 4: He's better than me.

1410
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we get that. What yeah right?

1411
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, when this trade inevitably goes down, whenever it happens.

1412
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 2: What does that press conference sound like? I didn't want

1413
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: to go, but Mill you know what I mean. Like,

1414
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 2: that's what he's setting himself up to look like a fool.

1415
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 5: It's just like my brothers and I decided it was

1416
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 5: best for us to take our talents.

1417
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 4: Elsewhere.

1418
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Yeah, it's gotten uncomfortable. I think it's gotten

1419
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 2: a little cringey, especially in the last handful of weeks.

1420
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of cringey, how about Kevin Durant and burner accounts

1421
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 2: and new controversies.

1422
01:20:58,439 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 3: That's next.

1423
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1424
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing the darn thing, still taking a look back

1425
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 2: at the close out of the NFL season. The NBA

1426
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:15,440
Speaker 2: is at its all star break and seemingly questioning even itself.

1427
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 2: We're in the midst of the Winter Olympics as well.

1428
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 2: Plus we're a half hour away from Steve de Seger

1429
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 2: on golf. And if you've never heard this before, you should.

1430
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios, Mark

1431
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 2: Willardy from salam And we suddenly find ourselves in a

1432
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 2: place where I don't think we thought we were going

1433
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 2: to find ourselves. And that is taking a little bit

1434
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 2: of a harder look at Kevin Durant. There's all kinds

1435
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 2: of online backlash being pointed at Durant tonight. I think

1436
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 2: it's been sort of well chronicled by now that Durant

1437
01:21:56,200 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 2: uses burner accounts, and Durant is in sensitive. We know

1438
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 2: this about Kevin. He's even spoken on it a little bit.

1439
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 2: But now we've gotten ourselves into potentially a new arena,

1440
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 2: and that is Kevin Durant using those burner accounts to

1441
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 2: basically take shots at current and former teammates from first

1442
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 2: and foremost. When I even just bring up the name

1443
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, what is your as we came into this

1444
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 2: evening sort of stated perception on that of Kevin Durant.

1445
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a great player, journeyman, great player, one

1446
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 5: of the best scores the NBA has ever seen, one

1447
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 5: of the best skill sets the NBA has ever seen.

1448
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 5: Not one of the best leaders. M he's never let

1449
01:22:55,560 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 5: a team. Yeah, well right, I mean to success. Excuse me,

1450
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 5: he would say he has the hard way to prove otherwise.

1451
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but we so.

1452
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 5: At any point of Steph Curry's career, has he not

1453
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 5: been the leader of Golden State?

1454
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 3: No?

1455
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 4: No, I mean no matter who plays on the team

1456
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 4: with it right.

1457
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: And in fact, many would say that that's why Kevin

1458
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 2: Durant didn't stick in Golden State.

1459
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 3: No, he wanted to take everybody to go to Brooklyn, right.

1460
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,839
Speaker 5: Remember, I'm going to lead the team where my friends

1461
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 5: were all gonna go and we're gonna well.

1462
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 2: And I think he had a hard time sort of

1463
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 2: handling on two fronts. A the way he was unable

1464
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 2: to kind of work his way into the hearts of

1465
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 2: the fans in Golden State because of the presidence of

1466
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 2: Steph Curry and then maybe as we're finding out a

1467
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 2: little bit more about today bitterness, I think he had

1468
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 2: a little bit of a problem the way even the

1469
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 2: team and their strategic approach was focused on Steph Curry.

1470
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 2: Kevin's relationship with Steve Kerr was not a great one.

1471
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 3: That's a fact.

1472
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 5: Well, when you come to a place and you think

1473
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 5: it should be about you and it's not your peace,

1474
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 5: but it's always gonna be about Steph as it should be.

1475
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 5: And if you can't handle that, that's like case in point,

1476
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 5: if Lebron James would have went to Miami and Dwayne

1477
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:39,759
Speaker 5: Wade would have had a problem with Lebron getting the attention,

1478
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 5: Dwayne Wade decided, no, come on in, man, it's your show.

1479
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 5: It's your show. You leaders. Steph didn't do that. Steph

1480
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 5: was still the leader of the team. So yeah, it's

1481
01:24:55,479 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 5: gonna be about Steph. Because it's about Steph.

1482
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 3: It is.

1483
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 2: And I mean again, let me speak as somebody who

1484
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 2: both lives here and hosts on a daily basis on

1485
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 2: the flagship station for the Golden State Warriors. I don't

1486
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 2: know that I've ever you know, I haven't lived in

1487
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 2: all the cities, haven't rooted for all the teams.

1488
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 3: Obviously you can't do that.

1489
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 2: I've never seen a city and a fan base more

1490
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 2: dedicated to, more enamored with an athlete.

1491
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 3: And I mean that.

1492
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 2: I mean I worked for years at the Lakers flagship

1493
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 2: station when Kobe and Shaq were there as an example,

1494
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 2: and the Lakers fan dedication to Kobe is overwhelming and

1495
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 2: has become cemented and iconic and all of that, and.

1496
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 3: Even that is not this.

1497
01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 2: Steph is unquestionable, unmovable, unshakable, uncriticizable to most Warrior.

1498
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 3: Fans without criticism.

1499
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean you just imagine, like, boy, it would be

1500
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 2: fine if Kobe were here to even weigh in.

1501
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 3: On something like this.

1502
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:24,879
Speaker 2: Imagine an NBA team that still to this moment, puts

1503
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 2: all of its eggs into the basket of somebody who

1504
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 2: is thirty about to be thirty eight years old, and

1505
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:37,520
Speaker 2: people still with a straight face, will tell you they

1506
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 2: need to put more around that man, and he is

1507
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 2: still completely able to be the lead dog on a

1508
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: championship team. That's what people believe. I'm not even really

1509
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 2: sitting here to say that they're wrong. I'm just sitting

1510
01:26:55,920 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 2: here to say that is unprecedented, that that has never

1511
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 2: happened before. That people believe that, and it's never happened before.

1512
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 2: That They were right, like, that's never happened before in

1513
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: the NBA. But you got you have to you have

1514
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 2: to go door to door for a long time to

1515
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 2: find someone who doesn't believe that in the Bay Area. Correct,

1516
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 2: that's how deep of a bond he has created.

1517
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 5: And just think about it, Kevin Durant doesn't have a

1518
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 5: team or a fan base that feels like that about him, right, So,

1519
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 5: as great as he is and has been, he doesn't

1520
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 5: have that. He doesn't have that and that may be

1521
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 5: difficult for him to deal with.

1522
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I try to always, I try to

1523
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 2: see things through the lens of another. I wonder what

1524
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 2: it feels like to have come up with a team,

1525
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 2: to have become a great player with that team, to

1526
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 2: have led that team him to some very special places,

1527
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 2: but then feel like it's probably run its course, and

1528
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 2: so then you you go somewhere else.

1529
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 3: In the second you leave that only fan base that

1530
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 3: you've ever.

1531
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 2: Known, and have been so loved by that fan base,

1532
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, turns on you, turns on you ugly. I want,

1533
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 2: I want, I wonder, I wonder if that's really kind

1534
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 2: of what has shaped the rest of Kevin's career.

1535
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 5: Well, look man, look at Okay. See they're more Westbrooks

1536
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 5: fans than which is westbrook is revered there, Yep, Kevin

1537
01:28:52,520 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 5: is not so all the places he's been, he doesn't

1538
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 5: get a chance to have that thing that the greats have.

1539
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 5: He doesn't get a chance to experience that. Where would

1540
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 5: there be a statue of him?

1541
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know if

1542
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 3: the Warriors will do it. It's the only possible place

1543
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 3: not gonna happen.

1544
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:31,800
Speaker 5: Probably not, because you when you alien hate a franchise,

1545
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 5: they're like now they'll acknowledge what he's done and what

1546
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 5: he's meant to them. But Steph will be out there,

1547
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 5: Clay will be out there, and Draymond to be out there,

1548
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 5: and they probably do all three statues together.

1549
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:10,599
Speaker 2: So on it's fifteen and the alleged Berner account leaks.

1550
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 2: Let me just read kind of where this all sits

1551
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 2: right now. These leak posts reportedly have Durant calling his

1552
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 2: current teammate Jabari Smith June, you're quote low key and

1553
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 2: then I'm not going to use that word starts with

1554
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 2: an R. People used to use it to mean mentally challenged,

1555
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 2: So he called Jabari Smith quote low key. R word

1556
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 2: questions Alpi Schengoon's effort thru shaded past teammates like Devin

1557
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:47,679
Speaker 2: Booker and others, And there's even I'm reading that there

1558
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 2: are apparently like this is all coming out in the

1559
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:54,879
Speaker 2: form of leaked text messages that were in group shots

1560
01:30:55,360 --> 01:31:00,200
Speaker 2: but from Berner account names. And there's even one that

1561
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 2: says something along the lines of you get waived in

1562
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 2: Golden State if you don't set screens for Steph and

1563
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 2: if you take shots away from.

1564
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 5: Him, well, yeah, you should get waived if you take

1565
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 5: shots away from the greatest shooter to ever shoot and

1566
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 5: not set screens to get him open. Okay, yeah, then

1567
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 5: you don't fit what we're trying to do.

1568
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 4: Like again, I'm okay, Yeah, I'm okay with that.

1569
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not that I'm not, It's just that

1570
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 2: I can, like knowing the way a lot of NBA

1571
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 2: players are wired, great ones, like I can see why

1572
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 2: that's not going to land so well with Kevin Durant,

1573
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 2: Like he's Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant, especially at that time,

1574
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 2: my prime Kevin Durant. He's gonna go somewhere.

1575
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 3: And be like.

1576
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 2: Immediately constantly told like, we're not running this through you.

1577
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 4: You mean going to the team that had already won championships.

1578
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 2: Without him, we could argue all these things, or where

1579
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 2: they had a two time MVP.

1580
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:22,799
Speaker 4: Oh oh that place yeah?

1581
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah that place? Cool?

1582
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 4: Cool cool who had won seventy three games.

1583
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 3: They had won seventy three games, yeah, prior to you

1584
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,720
Speaker 3: getting there, correct, Okay, cool?

1585
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 5: Still feel like they should acquiesce to you, right, Still

1586
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 5: feel like it's happening because of you.

1587
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 2: Look, I've never I've never really met Kevin Durant in

1588
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:50,599
Speaker 2: my life. And one thing I've learned with our job,

1589
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 2: I hate sort of like trying to be amateur psychoanalysis

1590
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 2: guy because I don't know Kevin. I don't, I don't,

1591
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on there. I can tell

1592
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 2: I can tell you what I think it feels like

1593
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,560
Speaker 2: to a lot of people though, And I don't know

1594
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 2: if you've noticed this, if you noticed a lot more

1595
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 2: stuff hitting the internet, which is like videos of Kevin

1596
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 2: really jawing with fans, yes, in the first second, third row,

1597
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 2: and I mean like getting after him now, yes, yeah,

1598
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 2: like not like ah, shut up, like I mean, I'm

1599
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 2: gonna come get I know where you live, but blah

1600
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, like just really getting after it.

1601
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:39,440
Speaker 3: And if I've learned.

1602
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:43,080
Speaker 2: Just because I'm fifty one, not saying I'm great at it,

1603
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 2: but I've learned, dude, if you're if you're like constantly mad,

1604
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 2: if you're constantly feeling like crap is unfair, and if

1605
01:33:55,520 --> 01:34:01,679
Speaker 2: you're constantly feeling like everybody around you is inep If

1606
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 2: that's what you're constantly feeling, you need therapy. Like that's

1607
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 2: not yeah, that's not ever real, or I shouldn't say

1608
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 2: it's not ever real, that's not ever not about you,

1609
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 2: That's what That's what I would say my perception of

1610
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 2: Kevin is and I'm not this isn't even about right

1611
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:28,599
Speaker 2: or wrong. He just screams to me, with everything we

1612
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 2: know about him, that he doesn't realize that this is all.

1613
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 3: About him.

1614
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 2: It's not about any of the other that it's not

1615
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 2: about fans and their comments and STEP's greatness and Jabbari

1616
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:47,639
Speaker 2: Smith and Shanengoon's effort and the idiot in the third

1617
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 2: row who's drunk and said something to you. It's just

1618
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 2: not about those people. So I'm starting with them. Man

1619
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 2: in the mirror, very good, asking him to change his way.

1620
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he's I don't think he's changing his ways.

1621
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 2: No message, it could be if you want to make that, well,

1622
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 2: I bet the play hey man, take a look at

1623
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:18,879
Speaker 2: yourself and make that change. Yeah, exactly.

1624
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1625
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 4: So I'm not getting burner accounts.

1626
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 5: No.

1627
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:26,680
Speaker 3: I felt like it's sad, dude, That's what it kind

1628
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 3: of is.

1629
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 2: People get all like, I don't even know how or

1630
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 2: why I would get angry at Kevin Durant, like whatever.

1631
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 2: It's just it's just kind of sad that it doesn't

1632
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like Kevin is at peace with Kevin.

1633
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 2: That's bummer because he's like so incredibly talented.

1634
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 5: But anyway, hey man, some people are just naturally miserable.

1635
01:35:56,560 --> 01:36:01,680
Speaker 3: For whatever reason. Yeah, who knows what the reason is.

1636
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 5: But a number one having burner phones to address things crazy,

1637
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 5: it's diabolical.

1638
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yes it is, Yes it is. I mean, that's

1639
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 2: that's more than that's clue number one, two and three.

1640
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 2: In all of this, the name Steph Curry keeps.

1641
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 3: Kind of coming up.

1642
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:28,879
Speaker 2: And then he had an interview at All Star Weekend

1643
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 2: that caught our attention because it kind of flows out

1644
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 2: of what we were just talking about. Is this to

1645
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:41,520
Speaker 2: be taken seriously or is this just a ridiculous concept.

1646
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:46,599
Speaker 2: We'll play for you what step said coming up next

Speaker 2: I've been wanting to play this for you and get

1665
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 2: your response. So Steph Curry didn't participate today. He's been

1666
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:48,639
Speaker 2: dealing with runner's knee, but he's expected to get back

1667
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,560
Speaker 2: at it for the Warriors on Thursday.

1668
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 3: The Warriors are firmly entrenched right now.

1669
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 2: In the eight seed in the West that is not

1670
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 2: considered a very dangerous spot. His number two running mate,

1671
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler has a torn acl His new number two

1672
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 2: running mate. I don't even know to what level he

1673
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 2: plays basketball anymore with regard to Christaps Porzingis, but we'll see.

1674
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 2: So here's Steph at the All Star Game. And I

1675
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 2: want to know if you feel like this can be

1676
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 2: taken seriously.

1677
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:21,840
Speaker 3: Here it is.

1678
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:27,919
Speaker 11: I'm still changing championships. I think that's that is the motivation.

1679
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 11: I feel like it's realistic, even though you know you're

1680
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 11: not probably going to be on a team that is

1681
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:36,560
Speaker 11: the perennial favorite.

1682
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 3: Going into any year.

1683
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,479
Speaker 11: But we have, I think, a legit opportunity to make

1684
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 11: a run. And that's what keeps me going.

1685
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:46,080
Speaker 3: So it works so hard on year in, year out.

1686
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 11: The off seasons are a grind to get ready for,

1687
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 11: you know, the marathon of the Reverend regular season. And

1688
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 11: I still have fun, I still enjoy it. I still

1689
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 11: have a love for the game. But championships are really it.

1690
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 2: Okay, still in the mix, still chasing championships. Thirty eighth

1691
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 2: birthday coming up in a month.

1692
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 3: Yep.

1693
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:13,720
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler hurt, yep, Like, do you do you take

1694
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,919
Speaker 2: this seriously or are you just like whatever?

1695
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 3: Man?

1696
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 4: No, I take it serious?

1697
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 3: You do?

1698
01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 4: I believe him?

1699
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 3: Talk to me.

1700
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 5: I whether his team can do that or not, that's

1701
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:27,920
Speaker 5: what he's playing for. He's not saying we have the

1702
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 5: roster and the team to do that. He even said

1703
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 5: it's hard, it's difficult. But I'll tell you this, if

1704
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 5: Jimmy Butler's healthy and there's a healthy Christoph porzingis they

1705
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 5: got a shot.

1706
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 3: I mean that that that entire concept is at least

1707
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 3: a year away.

1708
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, But what I'm saying is it's it's a that's

1709
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 5: a formidable group because porzingis say what you want, Celtics

1710
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 5: don't win that championship without him. True, he brings an

1711
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 5: element in a dimension I don't think Golden State's ever had.

1712
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 2: He's got to be the tallest person who's come through

1713
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 2: here in a decade, right right.

1714
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:11,640
Speaker 5: But a true big who will protect the rim and

1715
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 5: who will knock down the open shot that free throw

1716
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 5: line extended. You can't guard him there, similar to what

1717
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 5: Winby does right now. Like when he gets the ball

1718
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 5: there on that high screen of roll and he just

1719
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 5: backs up right there and gets it at the free

1720
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:29,640
Speaker 5: throw line, It's nothing you can do. It's literally like

1721
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 5: a layup for him. And so I think that makes

1722
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:40,680
Speaker 5: them extremely formidable because Steph still can shoot at high volumes.

1723
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,640
Speaker 4: And so, no, I think he's serious.

1724
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 5: I think he's looking at a healthy Jimmy next year,

1725
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 5: a healthy Christoph and maybe a couple of little new

1726
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 5: pieces here and there, and I think he feels that

1727
01:40:57,640 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 5: they have a shot to.

1728
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 3: Get one more. Uh. I mean you may even be.

1729
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 2: Able to get Clay back on the you know, god

1730
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 2: on the you know, a veteran minimum. Let's let's do it.

1731
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Maybe Durant will come back on the minimum. No, man, no,

1732
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 2: that's done. Yeah, but they would welcome Clay back with

1733
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 2: open arms. Yeah, they would, depending on you know minimum, Yeah,

1734
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 2: the role, what what, what have you?

1735
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,800
Speaker 5: And he'll come off the bench, all of that. I mean,

1736
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 5: just to have it back in the building.

1737
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 2: Sure, I think that the Warriors would like, the players

1738
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 2: would love that. I I wonder like there was a

1739
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 2: lot of feelings there when he left, Yes, And I

1740
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 2: don't know if the fact that maybe time and also

1741
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 2: the experience he's had he wanted to go check something

1742
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:51,639
Speaker 2: else out work he got there, it was it didn't

1743
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 2: work number one, followed by it got done blown the

1744
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 2: heck up by management while he was there.

1745
01:41:58,640 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 3: And so just that.

1746
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 5: He walked into a grenade situation. She had already pulled

1747
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 5: a pin. Yeah, and yeah, it just took him many

1748
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 5: four to explode, right right.

1749
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 2: So, I mean, even the mere idea of porzingis playing

1750
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 2: while Butler is on the team calls for the Warriors

1751
01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:19,600
Speaker 2: to resign Christaps porzingis Yeah, the free agent at the

1752
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 2: end of the year.

1753
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:20,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1754
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, if he can get his health stuff together, yes,

1755
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 5: I would resign him. Oh yeah, no, I I get that.

1756
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just talking about, like, how realistic of an

1757
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:44,240
Speaker 2: effort is this to continue to head down that road

1758
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 2: of what around these parts is called everything for Steph?

1759
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, until Steph says I'm done.

1760
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I don't know. I mean, you don't feel

1761
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 2: that way about Lebron anymore. No, no, no, Lebron.

1762
01:42:58,720 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 3: I know he's older.

1763
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 4: Steph has something that you can do longer than what

1764
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 4: Lebron can do.

1765
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 3: That's fair.

1766
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 5: Steph can shoot twelve to fifteen three is a game

1767
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 5: and get you eight seven, six, a game that'll always

1768
01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 5: He's not a physical player anyway, So you're really, like

1769
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 5: you said, seven screens get him open.

1770
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 4: So yeah, why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you, Well.

1771
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 2: You would because you don't really have any other great option,

1772
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 2: But because you don't want to feel like you're chasing ghosts.

1773
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 2: That's why.

1774
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 4: No, what's the alternative?

1775
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:49,719
Speaker 3: Ye? Well, and that's my answer, right, You're doing.

1776
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 5: Because the ghosts chaste the ghost Yeah, yeah, because the

1777
01:43:55,080 --> 01:44:01,680
Speaker 5: alternative is something that no fan, no fan base, no no, GM.

1778
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:04,680
Speaker 3: No, they would not be okay with you.

1779
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:08,800
Speaker 2: No anything won any of that, anything that risks Steph

1780
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 2: not being on the team.

1781
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 4: You can't do that, Yeah, can't.

1782
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that that like similar to how no fan

1783
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:20,680
Speaker 2: would sign up for that with Golden State, Like no

1784
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio fan would sign up for doing this.

1785
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 3: Without Steve Disager. Nope, I just wouldn't do it.

1786
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 8: Very humorous.

1787
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very very kind. I don't even want

1788
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 3: to be here if it's not for that.

1789
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:34,679
Speaker 8: I believe Steph has a contract. We'll move on, We'll

1790
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 8: get to the golf.

1791
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 3: That moment well established.

1792

1805
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:24,360
Speaker 8: Kansas State is pursuing that to not owe him. He

1827
01:46:28,920 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 8: was the Seahawks and it's not official from them, but

1828
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 8: many reports have them naming a new offensive coordinator and

1829
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 8: they did not promote from within. There expected to be

1830
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:40,759
Speaker 8: Brian Fleury, who's been on the forty nine er staff

1831
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 8: in the division for seven years. Seattle's quarterbacks coach officially

1832
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,839

Speaker 8: Las Vegas. Pitchers and catchers reported to spring training this

1835
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 8: past week. The first exhibition games are this Friday, and

1836
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 8: Colin Morikawa was the golf winner at Pebble Beach by

1837
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 8: one stroke. He shot sixty two on Saturday sixty seven. Today,

1838
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:07,719
Speaker 8: Scotti Scheffler finished just two back after a final round

1839
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 8: sixty three. Ak she Batilla led by two strokes until

1840
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 8: a final round seventy two. He was three back, tied

1841
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:18,759
Speaker 8: for sixth plays, but Marikawa burdied eighteen for the victory,

1842
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 8: ending a drought. He had gone twenty eight months since

1843
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 8: his last win. Six different golfers had a share of

1844
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 8: the lead at one point in this windy final round

1845
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 8: on the California coast. Scheffler nearly pulled off the biggest

1846
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,600
Speaker 8: comeback in the tournament's history. At twenty under par, he

1847
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 8: finished two back. There was this that happened while the

1848
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:45,760
Speaker 8: eventual winner was standing the fairway on the eighteenth. He

1849
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 8: had to wait some twenty minutes while another golfer had

1850
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:50,719
Speaker 8: to figure out how to play off the beach, only

1851
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,719
Speaker 8: for that shot to go into the ocean. Mari Kawa

1852
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 8: said he was walking down to the ocean himself just

1853
01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 8: to kill time, back and forth about ten times. He said,

1854
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 8: I tried to think about anything else other than golf. Thankfully,

1855
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 8: he said, you have the nicest backdrop you could ask

1856
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 8: for here, so that was very, very easy. He did

1857
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 8: play golf at cal after all. For me, he said,

1858
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 8: it was how do I stay loose, how do I

1859
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 8: stay warm and just not think about the shot? Well

1860
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:22,639
Speaker 8: he delivered. He gets the victory. He's a two time

1861
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 8: major champion already, a guy that had gotten forty five

1862
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 8: starts though since his last win, which was in Japan

1863
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 8: in October twenty twenty three. Morikawa then announces that he

1864
01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:37,760
Speaker 8: and his wife are expecting their first child this spring. Congratulations.

1865
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 8: This was the PGA Tour's first signature event of the season.

1866
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 8: We have talked about this before on the show. We'll

1867
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 8: say it. They probably won't goaded by Live Golf. There

1868
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,839
Speaker 8: are now PGA tournaments that also have purses of twenty

1869
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:56,680
Speaker 8: million dollars total like this, so the winner got a

1870
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,720
Speaker 8: nice chunk of change out of that. Marikawa takes home

1871
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 8: three point six million dollars. The two guys that tied

1872
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 8: for second today about one point seven to five million.

1873
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,759
Speaker 8: Scotti Scheffler for a tie for fourth over eight hundred

1874
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 8: and fifty thousand. And this was a no cut event

1875
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:17,759
Speaker 8: eighty players, so even the three guys who finished tied

1876
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,919
Speaker 8: for last get over thirty thousand dollars for their efforts

1877
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 8: for the weekend. And then there's Live Golf. The Adelaide

1878
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 8: Australia Tour stop which ended our time late last night

1879
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 8: on Fox TV. Anthony Kim, age forty, was the winner.

1880
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 8: He takes home a top prize of four million dollars.

1881
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 8: Why because every Live Golf winner takes home a top

1882
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 8: prize of four million dollars. He won by three strokes

1883
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 8: over John Rahm thanks to a superb final round. Rom

1884
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:50,800
Speaker 8: gets two and a quarter mill as the runner up,

1885
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 8: and the three golfers who tied for third at the

1886
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 8: Live Golf event one point one million dollars each for third.

1887
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:03,520
Speaker 8: If you finished in a tie for thirty seventh in Australia,

1888
01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 8: that's almost one hundred and forty thousand dollars each. But

1889
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 8: it is quite the comeback for Anthony Kim, his first

1890
01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 8: win in over fifteen years. He had a nine under

1891
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 8: sixty three to close for that three shot margin. He

1892
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 8: stepped away from competitive golf for over a decade, struggling

1893
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 8: with drug and alcohol use. Needed to play in a

1894
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 8: qualifying tournament last month just to get another year on

1895
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 8: the Live Golf Tour, not PGA. He had to qualify

1896
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 8: for this tour, and he nearly this weekend sets the

1897
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 8: course record. It's his first victory since the Houston Open

1898
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:46,320
Speaker 8: of twenty ten, his previous best finish in Live golf

1899
01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 8: and these were smaller fields was a tie for twenty

1900
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 8: fifth place. His quote after the victory, nobody else has

1901
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 8: to believe in me but me, and for anybody else

1902
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:59,679
Speaker 8: that's struggling, you can get through anything.

1903
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:00,960
Speaker 4: Bag to you.

1904
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.

1905
01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, every everybody listening to what Steve just said, do

1906
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:13,680
Speaker 2: yourself a favor and go watch the on course right

1907
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 2: after the last whole interview that Anthony Kim delivered after

1908
01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 2: winning that tournament. Today. They ain't got nothing to do

1909
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 2: with golf. He has everything to do with just being

1910
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:29,200
Speaker 2: a human being and uh and going through something and

1911
01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 2: coming out the other side and really really cool, really

1912
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:37,519
Speaker 2: really really cool too to see that. And he's got

1913
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:41,559
Speaker 2: a young family and and and four million noon dollars,

1914
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 2: so you've got that too, a lot of diapers, so uh,

1915
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:53,559
Speaker 2: very very cool. Steve, thanks great stuff as always. Yeah,

1916
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 2: that was that was the feel good story of the day.

1917
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:59,320
Speaker 2: That's that's for sure. There's Kevin Durant, Burner counts, and

1918
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:06,200
Speaker 2: then there's Ant Kim. The Anthony kiv On's the one that.

1919
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 3: Makes you smile. Oh you.

1920
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:10,760
Speaker 4: The Burner account make you scratch your head.

1921
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 2: I just you know what I mean, I will say

1922
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:20,720
Speaker 2: that I've been doing some poking around. I know you

1923
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:24,920
Speaker 2: you recorded All Star Weekend, right, Yeah?

1924
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Okay, So like.

1925
01:52:28,720 --> 01:52:31,240
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend's got a lot to do to sort

1926
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:34,679
Speaker 2: of win me back. And the dunk contest was a joke,

1927
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:36,720
Speaker 2: and I don't think that Dame Lillard should have been

1928
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 2: in there and all of that, but there is there

1929
01:52:39,360 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 2: is one player who is being credited all across the

1930
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 2: league today for at least bringing something back to All

1931
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 2: Star Weekend. So we should at least mention that and

1932
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:55,639
Speaker 2: uh and dive in a little bit. And so we'll

1933
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 2: do that coming up in just a moment. We're in

1934
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios along with Erom Salam. I'm

1935
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 2: Mark Willard on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, it's live in

1936
01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 2: these Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, let's let's see

1937
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 2: if we can uh end on a high note. So

1938
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 2: there's tanking, and there's the fake injuries and the load

1939
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:26,120
Speaker 2: management and just what I thought was an absolute joke

1940
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:28,639
Speaker 2: of a dunk contest and then three point contest being

1941
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:29,240
Speaker 2: won by an.

1942
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:31,040
Speaker 3: Injured player who won't play. So there's all of that.

1943
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 2: But I have reviewed some of the tape and I

1944
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 2: can at least say this, and I'm gonna need a

1945
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:44,519
Speaker 2: text message from you later to see what you think.

1946
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:49,040
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people went into the All

1947
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:51,360
Speaker 2: Star Game today kind of doing the whole like I

1948
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:52,519
Speaker 2: don't I don't get it.

1949
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 3: I don't fully understand. We've got USA in the world,

1950
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 3: but we've got old USA, we've got young USA. Blah

1951
01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:04,600
Speaker 3: blah blah. It was more competitive.

1952
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 2: It did not look like the All Star Game has looked,

1953
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,400
Speaker 2: where you know, guys stand there at half court and

1954
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:17,000
Speaker 2: play grab ass or whatever and just sort of wave

1955
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 2: at people as they go by it. Either shoot at

1956
01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:22,280
Speaker 2: three or do it dunk or whatever. They actually did,

1957
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,559
Speaker 2: they played a little basketball today. I don't know if

1958
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 2: it's in a spot where it caught anyone's attention or

1959
01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:31,960
Speaker 2: really mattered to anyone. But there's one guy in particular

1960
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:35,360
Speaker 2: who's kind of being credited for setting the tone and

1961
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 2: pushing the envelope and being like, I'm I'm trying to win,

1962
01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 2: and it's Victor Webbin Yama.

1963
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:44,640
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what you think when you take

1964
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:47,280
Speaker 3: a look at it. Look.

1965
01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:47,800
Speaker 5: I like.

1966
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:50,560
Speaker 4: The format.

1967
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 5: In terms of the USA versus the world, because the

1968
01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 5: one thing whether the whole weekend was a washed or not.

1969
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 5: They played harder in that game than they have in

1970
01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 5: ten years in the All Star Game, and I think.

1971
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:19,800
Speaker 4: That matters. Now what you said about the low management, like,

1972
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 4: you shouldn't have to.

1973
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 8: Beg.

1974
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 5: You shouldn't have to beg players making anywhere from thirty

1975
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:43,600
Speaker 5: to sixty million dollars a year to do the thing

1976
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 5: that you're paying them to do. That's the problem I'm having.

1977
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:57,880
Speaker 5: We shouldn't have to say, please, guys, just show up

1978
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:03,839
Speaker 5: and play. Lebron said something in one of the interviews.

1979
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 5: It was asking him. It was like he was like,

1980
01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm having fun. I mean they're playing They're paying me

1981
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 5: to play basketball. I'm playing basketball. You know, as corny

1982
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:22,640
Speaker 5: as that sounds, it's a game. And the fact that

1983
01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:27,760
Speaker 5: there's been so much surrounding guys not wanting to play

1984
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 5: or not, it blows my mind. Well, people are waking

1985
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:37,920
Speaker 5: up every day going to work in a factory or driving.

1986
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 4: Lyft to uber or.

1987
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 5: And you're getting extremely compensated to go play a game,

1988
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:54,520
Speaker 5: and we gotta fight you to do it. I don't

1989
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 5: get it.

1990
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:57,839
Speaker 4: I think that's why I love football.

1991
01:56:57,960 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 3: As a football player, you wouldn't get it.

1992
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 4: I love football.

1993
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah that reason, Yeah, yeah, well, and that's absolutely like

1994
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:08,640
Speaker 2: And I just had a similar thought. I was having

1995
01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:12,480
Speaker 2: this conversation with somebody about a week ago. And it's

1996
01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 2: not even just that like football players are like better

1997
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 2: people or something.

1998
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:17,920
Speaker 5: I like.

1999
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:19,720
Speaker 3: I don't think it's across the board like that.

2000
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:24,720
Speaker 2: But the structure of the sport does not allow for

2001
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:28,680
Speaker 2: all of this stuff to come into play. So take

2002
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:30,920
Speaker 2: a look around, and I know that there's right here.

2003
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:32,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of fans of a lot of sports

2004
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:37,600
Speaker 2: out there, soccer, hockey. But in American sports, a good

2005
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:41,720
Speaker 2: healthy amount of the conversation kind of centers around the

2006
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 2: NFL and then to a degree, the NBA, and then

2007
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 2: to Major League Baseball as well as far as kind

2008
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 2: of what gets the most attention. And Major League Baseball

2009
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:56,720
Speaker 2: right now is just full steam ahead into a massive

2010
01:57:56,800 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 2: labor disagreement. And you, again, I don't think that this

2011
01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:05,040
Speaker 2: is a problem too much with players, but you do

2012
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:09,400
Speaker 2: have even players within the league highly questioning how many

2013
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:11,160
Speaker 2: teams are attempting to win.

2014
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:16,879
Speaker 3: That is a fundamental problem with baseball.

2015
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 2: Now you switch it over to the NBA, where we

2016
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:22,840
Speaker 2: have openly admitted that at least a third of the

2017
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:25,800
Speaker 2: league is not trying to win. At least a third

2018
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 2: of the stars are concerned about playing prior to March,

2019
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:35,440
Speaker 2: and so you again build up all these questions about

2020
01:58:35,720 --> 01:58:38,640
Speaker 2: what is it you're trying to do, Do you care

2021
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 2: or do you care about the outcome of games? This

2022
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:47,120
Speaker 2: never crosses my mind in the NFL. No, it doesn't

2023
01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 2: cross my mind on an individual level. It doesn't cross

2024
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 2: my mind on a team level. A league what nothing, nothing.

2025
01:58:54,680 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 2: And I just think that that's the biggest thing to

2026
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:00,760
Speaker 2: talk about in sports right now because it doesn't even

2027
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:03,080
Speaker 2: it's not even just sports. It's anything you're doing. It

2028
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:06,680
Speaker 2: can be content like we produce, it can be parenting.

2029
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 2: Like the number one thing that you have to do

2030
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:12,640
Speaker 2: that that will filter down to everyone around you is care.

2031
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:14,960
Speaker 3: That's it.

2032
01:59:15,880 --> 01:59:18,680
Speaker 2: That's the fix to everything. So, you know, props to

2033
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 2: Wemby today and a little bit of Anthony Edwards. They're

2034
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:26,560
Speaker 2: the ones that kind of set the tone. They cared today. Yep,

2035
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 2: So that's great, that's that's a great start. Yeah, I

2036
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 2: think that aspect of it.

2037
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:35,920
Speaker 5: Now, the rest of it, the three point contest, the

2038
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 5: dunk contest, the skills thing, that's just all a wash.

2039
01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:43,240
Speaker 5: It's not exciting because people are participating in the dunk

2040
01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 5: contest and the skills thing that we don't know and

2041
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:47,720
Speaker 5: we don't want to watch.

2042
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 4: Yep, that's it. We don't care and we don't want

2043
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 4: to watch. We don't know them.

2044
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 5: I know Keisha Johnson because he went to my school.

2045
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 5: But if I wasn't an Aztec, and then I wouldn't

2046
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:05,120
Speaker 5: know who that was, right, I mean.

2047
02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:06,600
Speaker 2: I know who it is, but I couldn't tell you

2048
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:10,720
Speaker 2: the first thing about him. I know that he put

2049
02:00:10,800 --> 02:00:13,000
Speaker 2: in a very average looking dunk and then did an

2050
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:16,440
Speaker 2: awesome He did some dancing for a while, too much dancing.

2051
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 2: There's a lot of dancing. There's a lot of dancing.

2052
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:29,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, the dunk contest, man, it's just all kinds

2053
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:32,480
Speaker 2: of stuff they could do. There's all kinds of stuff

2054
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 2: they could do. It just got to open the mind

2055
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:40,040
Speaker 2: a little bit. I think they need some ayahuasca open

2056
02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:40,800
Speaker 2: their mind, you know.

2057
02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I always good to talk to you, Bud
