Speaker 1: We're stuck in the middle of the Cleeland Detroit game.

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: The horn's going on.

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,440

00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:47,599

00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: dirty plays the other game of the night, Cleveland and

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 1: Detroit and overtime game disrupted as the horn wouldn't stop

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: going off for a period of time during the game. Yeah,

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: it took him a while to stop it. Finally did

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: stop it and Detroit wins an overtime over the Caves.

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's good or bad that the

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: NBA got that as a side story. Does it does

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: it take away from the the blowout games that we

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: were talking about before. Hey, don't look at the actual product.

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: There's alarms going on.

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: No, look, I mean look, but this is this is

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: where we're at, and we talked about this, you know

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. Is that on a Friday night

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: in the NBA, really, on any given night in the NBA,

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: the most you can ask for now that we are,

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, in the age of tanking and teams deciding

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: to put it away. How many games are blowouts? Almost

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: all of them? Right, It's difficult to watch, difficult to

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: watch four quarters of a game, and really an on

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 1: a nightly basis, Can you just give me one game

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: that it's close between teams that matter, right, not like

39
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Nets Celtics. I need to be close because the Nets

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: are terrible. But just lea if one did. That's why

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: tonight was a big victory because there are only five

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: games on the schedule. But we had overtime with Oklahoma

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: City and Denver, and we had overtime with the Pistons

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: and the Cash Right, these are two great games and

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: they were close, went to overtime tonight. It's a big

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: win night for the NBA. Oh, I'm sorry about it

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: look Celtics won by thirty, the Knicks one by thirty,

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Grizzlies beat the Mavericks by twenty. Right, Okay, it doesn't matter.

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: We tonight was a win. But that's where the NBA

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: is now. It's it's such a it's in it's in

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: such a uh and and aspect where we expect so little,

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, can you give us just one game?

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: Well, because the other story you get out of this

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: is look how much yo get your cares? Remember all

55
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: those storylines? Hey again, Wow he does when you hip

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: check him and try to take him out?

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's you do that to Yokich. You're gonna get something.

58
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: I problem silent rage. But today got taken over by

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: a meet, a feud that none of us saw coming.

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: But we're all wrapped up in it. And it's a

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: story about sports and politics. But it's one where I'm

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how everybody wins in the end. I'm

63
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: a great unifier, Mike car behind your wins. Let's go

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: who was the president they called the great unifier? Who

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: was that? That was somebody that he was a great unifier? Batman,

66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: I mean like London.

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: It was.

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: It was Batman. Batman's more polarizing, everybody. Come on, man,

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: you may as well tell me spider Man was loved

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: by everything. No spider Man, no Mysterio, the real hero

71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: spider Man it was.

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 5: There's a there's a book.

73
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: C W.

74
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: Goodyear's President Garfield from radical to Unifier.

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh okay, maybe it's President Garfield.

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 5: Okay, uh Construction America? How about that? There you go?

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: People listen like, wait, is that where the cat Garfield

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: got nominated? Got the modelip?

79
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: No?

80
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: So the big back drop this week to sports, unfortunately,

81
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: has been the political fall out after the United States

82
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Olympic hockey team accepting the phone call from President Trump,

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: showing up at the Oval Office being as part of

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: the state of the Union and the whole thing this week.

85
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: It just sucks, right, the whole thing sucks that politics

86
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: gets involved and it ruins what was the best story

87
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: of the year, and it probably is the best story

88
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: of the year, the United States winning the gold medal

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: in hockey. And we just can't help ourselves, right, politics

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: are going to get it. We just can't help ourselves anymore.

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: And it's very frustrating. But again, this is this political

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: story where no matter who side your everybody wins, Okay,

93
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm the great unifier. So today there

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: was a there was an editorial in Toronto Star about

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: Austin Matthews, captain of the Maple Leafs who played for

96
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Team USA, and the editorial was that he seemed to

97
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: buddy buddy with President Trump, stayed with the United States

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: team when he should have come back to get ready

99
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. You know, the Leafs

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: playoff standing is in question. Didn't need to go to

101
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Miami in party with the guys, and uh, he clearly

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: chose President Trump over Canada. And I'm like, okay, well,

103
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: the guy is from the United States, and he did

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: play with his teammates and they won the gold medal,

105
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: and everybody else was doing these things. Okay, I think

106
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: we're really trying to leap on and glom onto a

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: story a little bit more. Right, Matthews did not go

108
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: to the State of the Union, that's what he skipped,

109
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: and he did go party with the team on Monday night, which,

110
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: of course, you know, I wish I could have been

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: there for that party. You kidding, Oh my god, that

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: party Miami must have been incredible. I mean, just the fact,

113
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: I really want to know. I don't know which was

114
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: the player that when when Trump was saying, we'll send

115
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: a plan to get you like us, Hey can you

116
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: pick us up in Miami on Monday? Like like hey, like, hey, dad,

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: can you pick us up at the airport We're flying

118
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: in on Monday night? Hey can you pick us up

119
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning in Miami? That's where we're gonna go.

120
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: It's you. I want that inscription card.

121
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Oh boy, So this this goes on, and this editorials

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: in the paper, and Linda Cone of ESPN, longtime ESPN anchor,

123
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: big hockey fan, hosted hockey shows, uh, weighed in with

124
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: how much he was upset about the Toronto Star editorial

125
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: that hey, Auston Matthews is being looked at unfairly here

126
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: and if this is how they view you got to

127
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: go someplace else where people like you. And since then

128
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: you see the blow up. Oh, Linda Cone is pro Trump?

129
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: Oh and now these will she never said she was

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: pro Trump? And all is getting so messy. Well after this,

131
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: Keith Olberman weighs in, who is completely anti Trump? And

132
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: your guy who I was friends with him until crazy

133
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: stuff happened. Uh, And now we don't talk anymore. It's

134
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: been years, and he weighs in and really rips Linda

135
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: apart for saying and saying for the longest time, only

136
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: your political views have have been out there and nobody

137
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: else's was allowed. And I'm like, wow, Keith is really

138
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: the kind of the king of that, which is really weird.

139
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, so Oberman goes in and and and blow

140
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: torches Linda Cone, who he did shows with and worked

141
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: with at ESPN in the nine and into the two thousands.

142
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean I was there. I was there. And then

143
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: Linda Cone decides I'm not letting this go and she

144
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: responds to Keith saying, you became irrelevant when you left sports.

145
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I really from a former coworker, I hope you get

146
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: the help you need. And then Keith responded with an lol.

147
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: And now we have former ESPN on ESPN host crime like,

148
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: this is what's happening now, right, I mean, this is

149
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: not what I thought we'd get today, not the story

150
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: that would take off. But here's where I pushed things positively.

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: And I started thinking about this when earlier this week,

152
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen posted that big throwback photo from the nineties

153
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: of all the Sports Center hosts. Right, he made a

154
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of just posting a photo this is what the

155
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: nineties was, And it was him and Stu Scott and

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Dan dan Patrick and Keith Olberman, and like Bob Stevens

157
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: was on there, and Chris McKendree and Craig Kilborn and

158
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: Carl ravisch like this was Sports Center of the nineties.

159
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: And then with this thing that happened with Linda Cone

160
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: and Keith Oldman today, like it hit me like a

161
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: bolt of lightning, Like I know what the next Last

162
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Dance documentary series can be the nineties era of ESPN

163
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Sports Center, right, Because that no matter what age range

164
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: you're in now, whether you're Gen X, whether you're millennial,

165
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: whether you're Gen Z, you have some sort of relationship

166
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: with the Sports Center of the nineties. Either it's something

167
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: you grew up on, something that you know is very

168
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: familiar with, that was a big deal in sports, something

169
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: you've heard all kinds of stories about that you want

170
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: to hear more of, which is basically why The Last

171
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: Dance was such a big deal. Hey, nineties bulls, I

172
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: lived it, I knew it, and want to know more

173
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: about it. Boy, I hear so much about it. I

174
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: want to know everything, right, There's very few things that

175
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: slide into that category, but Sports Center in the nineties

176
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: when I was there as an associate producer, when I

177
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: was working behind the scenes, I was working on the

178
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock Sports centers and two one am Sports centers

179
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: with Dan and Keith and Carl Ravich and Craig Kilbourne

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: every night, and Linda and Chris Berman on baseball tonight. Right,

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: this was a golden era of sports because the nineties

182
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: was when sports went from the sports fans went from

183
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: we are a longtime loyal and underserved fan base to

184
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: now we get everything we want. We get football, baseball, basketball, hockey,

185
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: national television every night during the week. We get highlight

186
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: shows on all these sports. They show everything I need.

187
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: If I'm a Mavericks fan, I know I'm getting a

188
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: Mavericks highlight when they played to night. If I'm a

189
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Vancouver Knucks fan, I know I'm getting a Kannucks highlight

190
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: every night, I'm getting breakdowns. I'm getting everything I need.

191
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: Like the nineties, Sports Center, the era that's sort of

192
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,479
Speaker 1: become the sweet spot. Now we're looking back to nostalgia

193
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: wise and that era, the era of cool with Dan

194
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: and Keith making the eleven o'clock the place to be right,

195
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: you had you know, Rich Eisen and Craig Kilbourne who

196
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: have went on to incredible careers after you know, Eisen

197
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: still going and Kilbourne was hosting the Late Show on

198
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: TV for a long time. This was an era of

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: sports that that really set the table for what we've

200
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: seen in the two thousands to where we are now.

201
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Obviously the landscape is different. But if you did a

202
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: documentary that look back at Sports Center of the nineties, right,

203
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: but you have to do it like this. You do

204
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: it like The Last Dance, where your focus is on

205
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: the nineties. You focus on what happened in the nineties

206
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: and how it became so cool, and certain things that

207
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: happened on the shows and everything everything went along with it.

208
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: But then you also juxtapose it with now, right, like

209
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Jordan with the iPad and feuding with Scottie Pippen and

210
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas and all that stuff that came out of

211
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: the Last Dance, Because now you have all the Sports

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Center rankers who were there in the nineties who are

213
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: now going to tell you stories that they wouldn't have

214
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: told back then. Or now because of how the last

215
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: twenty years have gone, what are they gonna say, Like,

216
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: I don't know to Dan and Keith still even talk

217
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: at all? I don't even know you could put Linda

218
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Cone and Keith Oldbman together on screen or asking about

219
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: what's going on and now politics is involved and what's

220
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: rich Eisen got to say? After the career he's gone

221
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: on to after and you got to talk to me?

222
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Because boyd, do I have stories? And when I put

223
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: this out on social media earlier, I can't tell you

224
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: how many people I worked with in the nineties that said, oh,

225
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: do I have stories? Do I have stories? Do I

226
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: have stories? This would be a huge runaway hit because

227
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: it's that combination of nostalgia yet its current day and

228
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: its feuds, and it's where are people at? And it's

229
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: fun stories. It's not everything is just salacious, but it

230
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: has everything because that era of sports was such a

231
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: special time that got where we were now, there's an

232
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: interest level in what it is and now to see

233
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: where people are now, Like can you imagine what Keith

234
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: Oldman sit down would be with someone now talking about

235
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: Sports Center and where they are now in relationships with

236
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: other people? It would be insane. It'd be absolutely insane. Dan,

237
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I like term Dan Patrick years removed from ESPN, right

238
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years away from retiring. He's gonna say, Blanket,

239
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: what stories do I have to tell? Like this is

240
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the next great documentary series? And Penn pat and Penning,

241
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: you gotta make me a producer two percent of the profits,

242
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: take everything else, do whatever else you want. So there

243
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: we go. There is your next great television series. You're welcome.

244
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: Oh I think this is you know where enough of

245
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 4: the bodies are buried so you can go get your

246
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 4: stories and double check. Guy, I mean we had that book, right,

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 4: those guys have all the fun. That was like twenty eleven.

248
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 4: They said, five hundred and six hundred interviews.

249
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how they missed me. I really, I

250
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: really don't. I don't know how they missed me. And

251
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: even said, hey, I know we missed some people. I'm sorry,

252
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: but we tried to. How did you miss me?

253
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: This thing was over eight hundred pages long. How did

254
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: you not get at least one or two? Gods, whether

255
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: you would have been able to at that point in

256
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: your life, decided Hey, I'm gonna throw in on this story.

257
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: Because here's the problem. You know, even if you're the

258
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: anonymous quote unquote source, people that you know still have

259
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: some clout in our business. As we know, it is

260
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: a small circle of friends here frenemies at times that

261
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: they wouldn't be too hard to do the detective work

262
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: to figure out it was you that you know were

263
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: the source.

264
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 5: You were deep throat.

265
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean what they wrote that book like I had

266
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,320

00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 4: To be fair, there are a lot of stories that

297
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: did get out and folks have risen to great levels

298
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 4: of prominence.

301
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: end anyone's career. I have stories that would all would

302
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: would get huge tracks and social media would go oh

303
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: my god, you have to add what did this really happen?

304
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: What is this story about? Like, yeah, one hundred percent.

305
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 5: Were you ever in a commercial? Did you ever find

306
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,359
Speaker 5: your way on the UH? No sense for any of those.

307
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: They only asked a couple of people to do commercials,

308
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: and you had to have the right look, like to

309
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: be on to do the commercials. Whatever. I didn't have

310
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: the right look back then. But most of the people

311
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: when they shot the commercials, they did it at a

312
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: time when most people weren't there. Like it wasn't like

313
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: you came into work and you had to worry walking

314
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: around places because people were you know, they were shooting

315
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: a commercial. No, they did it in off times. They

316
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: did it away from where you were. So, I mean

317
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: most of the time, we're working there every day from

318
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: three point thirty to midnight, working on the eleven o'clock

319
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Sports Center. When they were there shooting, they would come

320
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: in for like two weeks and they would shoot a

321
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff and then leave, like there's full

322
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: days would go by where you wouldn't see anybody from

323
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: the UH from from the company shooting the commercials. Yeah,

324
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: that's how it's how we go.

325
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 5: I was just trying to get you some run there, buddy,

326
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 5: that's all.

327
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: No.

328
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: I would have loved to do it a commercial. I

329
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: was on tea. I did a couple of bits on

330
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: TV when on ESPN two and stuff, so so that

331
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: happened when I was working to ESPN two. But in

332
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the commercials it never was. Okay, I mean I was,

333
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean I was a good looking dude, you know,

334
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean I was a kid, you know.

335
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta get that guy that looks like a

336
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: hat that you might have gotten from Jason Smith.

337
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: You want to talk about it.

338
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: The guys wearing a Mets Jeremy Bernitch's jersey and a jet.

339
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: We can't put him in the commercial. We can't put

340
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: him in.

341
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: Hey, Jeremy Burnett's had a good run.

342
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but it would be an interesting concept, especially

343
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: with all the years that have elapsed, and you know,

344
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: those that have unfortunately left this mortal coil, and you know,

345
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: remembrance is there that we get from time to time,

346
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: but all it does, you know, and you do this

347
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: with your families and your coworkers who are wherever you're listening,

348
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: and we appreciate you being part of the extended family

349
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 4: here it's just that, all right, maybe you say something

350
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: that prompts say, oh I forgot about this, this happened

351
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: thirty years ago, that didn't show up in those eight

352
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: hundred plus pages, and whatever you know didn't made it

353
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: to the cutting room floor. There's just such an institutional

354
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 4: knowledge and history there going all the way back to

355
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: seventy nine. And I know it's on our brains a

356
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 4: little bit more. As Berman announces, you know that at

357
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: the end of his contract, he probably walks away that,

358
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, it becomes that much more real, Like we

359
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: do this all the time as athletes were we don't

360
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 4: necessarily aige ourselves until that headline hits can go oh yeah, yeah, okay.

361
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: And with all of this ninety stuff, I think it

362
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: would be fun to revisit it in the wake of

363
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: those dynastics squads, the infeudes of hey, why am I

364
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: not getting to do some six pm sports centers.

365
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 5: I mean, it's media.

366
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: The same still works the same way in a lot

367
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 4: of spaces, but certainly the competition there when it was

368
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 4: white hot would be an interesting thing to revisit all

369
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: these years later.

370
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,679

396
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: of more quarterback news, A couple of guys, a couple

397
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: of polarizing guys making headlines. Let's deal first with a

398
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: guy who's coming off the board second as quarterback, most

399
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: likely in Ty Simpson. All right, now, he's someone that

400
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: is out to prove that he can.

401
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 5: Sorry, I know, I know.

402
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Horn's going on. Can't stop the crowd either. I don't

403
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: think that's happened at Cavs Pistons. It was just the horn,

404
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: all right, sho Okay, No, I know, I know.

405
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: I mean the dance halls open and we're ready to go.

406
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: I really was expecting the bicycle horn at one point

407
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: that that was what's going on. Yeah. Uh so yeah,

408
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: the horn that disrupted the Cavaliers Pistons game. Uh.

409
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: You had.

410
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: Simpson today? Simpson, Eh, I remember that name. Talk about

411
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: how he thinks he can carry an NFL franchise and

412
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be shy about it. This is when

413
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: people talk bold about what they can do. Here's Ty

414
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: Simpson from the Combine today. First off, right, I.

415
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: Feel like I'm ready. You know, I'm a franchise quarterback.

416
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: Alabama is you know prepared you most of the NFL.

417
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: That Alabama locker room was as close as a locker

418
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: room in the NFL as you can get. Okay, that's

419
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: great stuff. Uh but look, ty Simpson, this is the

420
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: thing now, and I am at the point in my

421
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: life and especially this year, especially where I am at peace.

422
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: I am at quarterback piece in my life where I

423
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: am not going to get overly crazed if my team

424
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: drafts a quarterback that may or may not be good.

425
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm also not gonna get overly upset if my team

426
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: drafts a quarterback who may or may not be good, because,

427
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: like we saw with Sam Darnold, whatever the journey is,

428
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: maybe they can find a way to get it done.

429
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: Maybe Tyson is good, maybe he's not. But for most

430
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks in this draft, I could really take

431
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: or leave them. Like I mean, I could draft them,

432
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: I could not draft them. I'd be happy if my

433
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: team drafted a quarterback in the in in April that hey,

434
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: maybe you're the quarterback of the future. Maybe you get

435
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: some starts in this year, maybe you turn out to

436
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: be good. I'm also okay if they don't draft them, uh,

437
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm not sold on on the on

438
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: the court this year, and I'll just wait for next

439
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: year for the for the better crop of guys coming in.

440
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: I'm in that era of peace where it doesn't matter

441
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: because you just keep trying till you find till you

442
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: get the right guy. And I think that's the right

443
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: way to go about the quarterbacks in the draft this year.

444
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, mendoz is going number one overall. Will

445
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: debate about how good he is or how overrated he is.

446
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: But everybody else it's I don't know, let's take a

447
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: chance on it. And and teams are showing up hoping

448
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: to be wowed by guys that they can look in

449
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: and take. They want to say yes to guys this

450
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: year rather than start ruling people out. But Simpson someone

451
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: who first half of the year he was terrific. I thought, man,

452
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: this guy's going to the top ten. Back half of

453
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: the year not so great. Reports that he was hurt,

454
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: he was sick, he lost weight towards the end of

455
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: the year, but he still played. Didn't look good at

456
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: all against two really good teams. Two of the last

457
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: three games he played, he didn't look good. So Ty Simpson,

458
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: maybe he's good, maybe he's not. I mean that's right

459
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: for Simpson and most of the quarterbacks in this draft, Like, yeah,

460
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: if you're draft him, great, If you don't draft him,

461
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. I think that's how you should

462
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: look at everybody. Shoul look at the quarterbacks in this draft.

463
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the curiosity because each guy came in highly heralded.

464
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 5: You look at nuss Meyer. We've talked about some of

465
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: the principles.

466
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: You can find the podcast from the week shows wherever

467
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 4: you get your audio. Check out the YouTube channel as well.

468
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: We appreciate you being part of the extended family. But

469
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 4: they all had their struggles, right either getting benched out right,

470
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 4: and now we're hearing the tales of well, I had

471
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: this happen in camp, I had this happen week two,

472
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 4: Some that you played through, some that you didn't, And

473
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 4: all we can do is go through what we see

474
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 4: on the feet as best we're able to ascertain how

475
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 4: and why things came together as they did. All the

476
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: tales behind the scenes, that's what you got to talk

477
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 4: to your team perspective, employers about and parse it out

478
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 4: in your meetings and in the medicals for the rest

479
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: of us, Like, all right, I watched him play and

480
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: he struggled, That's all I know, Right, did he Was

481
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: he able to hit the deep ball? Was he struggling

482
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: getting moving laterally to get a pass off and buying

483
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: time all of that stuff. Ty Simpsons one of those guys.

484
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 4: The first half of the season was fantastic, and then

485
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 4: you have the mitigating circumstances that we knew some of,

486
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 4: but you're you're still looking at it. It's like historically,

487
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: it's it's Alabama. You're playing with all these top level talents,

488
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 4: so you should still be able to put up points.

489
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: You should still be able to keep the line moving.

490
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 5: And what he didn't? You know, it raised some eyebrows.

491
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: Now, he's one of those guys that gets into the

492
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson side of things, where you know, he's a

493
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: little older and he bided his time, but he only

494
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 4: played in full game. It's five hundred and twenty three

495
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: career attempts at Alabama, so you know that comes into play.

496
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: Even if he's got an extra year or two notched

497
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: on the calendar in terms of age and experience being

498
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: around the squad, that might serve him well. And as

499
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 4: we know, in the NFL draft, no matter how much

500
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: we say, hey, they'll only be one guy taken last

501
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: year seems like an outlet liar in our histories. Is

502
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: that be the start of a trend or is that

503
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: just that one year aberration where teams didn't reach to

504
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 4: go back at the end of the first round or

505
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 4: early second to grab a quarterback when they know they

506
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 4: need one.

507
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: So Simpson's one of those guys, right, probably the second

508
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: guy off the board. You don't ever know who's gonna rise,

509
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: but generally he's going to be the second quarterback coming off. Now,

510
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: the other guy that made headlines today, very polarizing quarterback,

511
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what he kind of. You want

512
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: to know who the next Baker Mayfield is in the NFL,

513
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: it's Diego Pavia, right, Vanderbilt's quarterback talking today. Boy, you

514
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: want to talk about a guy with swagger, been very

515
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: outspoken throughout his career, throughout the entirety of last year,

516
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: and didn't hold back today at the combine talking about

517
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: himself and how he feels that well, maybe the media

518
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: and people online or maybe out to get him. Here's

519
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia.

520
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: One thing about me is I don't care what people

521
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: think about me. The way the media is is they're

522
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: supposed to put out you know, clickbait and things like that.

523
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: That's how people get views, and that's how people make money.

524
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 3: I understand that, and so like people will twist a

525
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: story and try to put out bad meta to get clicks,

526
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: good meta to get clicks. That's just what today's world

527
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: that we live in. So I'm I'm just adjusting to

528
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: the new world. Coach Lee always preached that you know

529
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: you're not Your frontal lobe isn't fully developed until you're

530
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: twenty five. And I just turned twenty four, so I

531
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: got like three hundred and sixty more days to go.

532
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: Can't judge me for the next year, Jerks, I could

533
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: say stupid stuff like this for the next three h

534
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: sixty day.

535
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go eat all the shrimp. Let's go.

536
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Last night we talked about three quarterbacks who are gonna

537
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: see their their draft status rise, and Diego Pavi is

538
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: one of them because there are a couple of teams

539
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: where he will be their cup of tea, right his swagger,

540
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: his belief, his tape is really good. Hey, he's our guy.

541
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: There's also gonna be the vast majority of the teams

542
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: that are gonna come off it and say, yeah, I

543
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, there's the size situation one hundred

544
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: percent right, that's a thing. But we've seen guys smaller

545
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks succeed on the field when they can stay on

546
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: the field. Kyler Murray's done it right. Drew Brees did it.

547
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: He was six feet tall when he would put his

548
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: head up a little bit higher to throw the football.

549
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: He was maybe six' one or maybe six foot and three.

550
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: Quarters but the bigger thing For pavia is his maturity,

551
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: level and he talks there like people just pick on. Him,

552
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,320

Speaker 1: keep acting like a, knucklehead like what what are you?

585
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: Doing what do you? Think how do you think teams

586
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: are going to see? This? Man, LIKE i get the

587
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Whole i'm just, Me i'm unapologetically. Me when you're a,

588
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: singer when you're in a rock, band when you're an,

589
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: actor yeah you can get away with, that, Right but

590
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: when you're a football. Player and, oh by the, way

591
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: you're not nearly the prospect That Baker mayfield. Was he

592
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick in the draft that

593
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: he got continued chances to succeed because he was a

594
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: number one overall. Pick you're a guy that if you

595
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: go in the first four rounds, anywhere you're. Happy and guess,

596
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: what guys that go that high don't get a chance

597
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: to play all the. TIME i know will be a

598
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: fan favorite and the fan the fans will want to

599
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: see him play but, hey guess, what, man just because

600
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: you're taken in the draft doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a.

601
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: Chance you might not even make the team out of

602
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: training camp if you don't show enough and you can't

603
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: show a little bit of maturity when it comes to.

604
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: It so that's the big thing That, YEAH i know

605
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: that a couple of teams are gonna, say, yeah he's

606
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: our cup of, tea we'll take a chance on. Him but,

607
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: overall like all he did was hurt himself today by saying.

608
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: THIS i think teams wanted to meet him and, say,

609
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: YEAH i get, it but, well will you can he

610
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: tone down the swagger and can he shoulder responsibility of

611
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: having a team on his? Shoulders which is what they

612
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: say for every quarterback going In AND i. DON'T i

613
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: think he turned more people off today than he did

614
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: turn them on with what he.

615
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,120

Speaker 4: with you and fighting with so many others, right going

619
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 4: back and forth and having and, look to some, degree

620
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: the chip on your shoulder is what makes you who

629
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: all of that, stuff and you've built up some equity

630
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 4: with your play on the. Field but there's a bunch

631
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: of the measurables that they're doing at the combine where

632
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: you lose before you even. Start, Right drew brees that

633
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: you mentioned the outlier of outliers in terms of height

634
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 4: and acumen and the system that he ran With Sean

635
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: payton and dominated for all those years in The. South

636
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 4: funny he doesn't get the same criticism That brady did

637
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 4: for running through a bad. Divis but, anyway just Like

638
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: Peyton manning over there in The AMC's out for all that.

639
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: Time but all that's same For pavia is you're looking

640
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 4: at The Dylan Gabriel Shador sanders run in THE. Nfl Of,

641
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 4: yeah you performed well in. College you've got some pelts

642
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 4: on the. Wall but now it's that next, step and

643
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: again you come in with some of the measurables against.

644
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: You the last thing they want you to be until

645
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: you've earned it is a loudmouth that's bringing heat and

646
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: perhaps fracturing a locker room with the.

647
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: Hubers.

648
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean, LOOK i think you saw the the

649
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: playbook laid out by and the path By. Baker Mayfield's,

650
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: okay maybe you tone it down a little bit on.

651
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: THAT i, MEAN i think it's just smart just to

652
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: tone it down a little bit on. It but that's

653
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: Not Diego. Pavia and really there's a reason why quarterbacks

654
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: don't come in and have that kind of attitude and. Succeed,

655
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: everybody if they're going to, succeed that's to dial it

656
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: down a. Bit everybody's got to learn that. Lesson and

657
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: it'd be one thing if he was coming in as

658
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: a number one, pick because if he was, great that

659
