1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh here we go into a Sunday night and from

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: the files of you don't know what you got till

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: it's gone. I don't know about you, Ephraim, but that's

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: something I'm always hesitant to do, and that is let

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: go of something.

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 3: That worked a little bit too early.

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 2: I think we, especially as a sports society, we tend

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: to give up on things a little bit too early.

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: And this is inspired by the men's Olympic team. And

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: I'll explain what I'm getting at. But that's enough of that.

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: First and foremost, good evening, brother.

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,639

00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,680

Speaker 2: buying should be. I'll just use this as a fun

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: kind of side example. So justin Jefferson has played what

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: in the NFL four years?

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 3: Three four years? Right, Okay, his rookie year.

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: As a fantasy football drafter, I don't know what, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth,

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: fourteenth round whatever.

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, I like this guy, Justin Jefferson.

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: I actually wanted the Niners to pick him earlier in

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: the first round. They didn't do it, and I'm a

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: big Justin Jefferson. Man, I'm gonna grab Justin Jefferson, hey,

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: late fly or whatever. And then about.

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: Six weeks into the season, I have.

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: The inevitable fantasy football roster crunch, injuries and poor play takeover,

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: and You're like, I need a spot, I need to

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: grab someone off the wire.

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: Well, boy, I grabbed Justin Jefferson.

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: And I still think he's going to be really good someday,

38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: but it doesn't look like it's going to happen this year.

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: You know, Stefan Diggs is still there, and so Aphraim

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: I let him go and and a buddy of mine

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: picked him up. And I think my buddy went on

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: to win the Fantasy Championship that year. And I never

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: forgot that because I hate that. I hate giving up

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: on things too soon. And I'm wondering if all of us,

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: maybe not me and you, but I'm very curious your

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: perspective here. I'm wondering if all of us have done

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: that to Steph Curry and Lebron James, who got together

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: with the best in the world and very much at

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: their advanced ages, still looked like the best in the world.

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: These two guys have been.

51
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: Dancing around the playing tournament a lot in the last

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: couple of years. I'm not saying that they're every bit

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: that they've always been, but man, this tournament gave me

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 2: pause with the idea of whether or not those two

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: guys could still be the one on a championship team.

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: What do you think?

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: I do.

59
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: I think they could be because if you were to

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: take the last champions, the Boston Celtics, and if you

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 4: were to replace Jason Tatum or Jalen Brown with either

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: Steph for Lebron, I believe they can win the championship.

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 4: So if the question is can they still be, you know,

64
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: the one on the championship team, it just depends on

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: how good that championship team is. Now. Could Lebron take

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of guys CPA g leaguer and ATTACKSI Durmy

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: to the finals like he was doing when he was

68
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: in Cleveland. No, no, he can't. But could they still

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: be at the clip that they're playing. We just saw

70
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: Lebron James literally put the USA team on his back

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: against the world, and Steph came up and cleaned it up.

72
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: And so when you ask me that question, it's absolutely

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: watching them play against the world at this high level

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: with limited practice and you know, team unity or bonding

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: or whatever. That is just watching how those two men

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: went about their business. That's leadership. That's just leadership. It

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: just I mean, you when you see it, you know

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: what it is. And so, yes, I believe they can.

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: The team has to be put together extremely well, and

80
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: you know, everybody has to play their part in their role,

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: but I yes, I do believe they could be the

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: ones on a championship roster.

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: The only question that still pops in my head. And

84
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: I know, and we'll get to all of it. I

85
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 2: know there's a lot of stuff out there with regard

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: to the minutes, how they were allocated, Jason Tatum, Tyrese Halliburton,

87
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: all of these things.

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: I totally understand it. But I guess the only question

89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: I have left is team.

90
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: Say the Olympics, they're not like going for a championship,

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: You're going for a gold medal. But it's different it

92
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: still has a little bit of an exhibition feel in

93
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: that you've thrown a roster together. They're not teammates. They're

94
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: told that they need to get to know one another.

95
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: As far as actual offense and defensive approaches, they have

96
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: to do that all pretty quickly. So as far as

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: who kind of rises to the top, the cream rises

98
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: to the top. It really caught my attention that it

99
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: was Steph Lebron and Kevin Durant, the three oldest dudes

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: that that were there. Now, how much of that though,

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: and why I bring up the fact that it's still

102
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: kind of you know, look, it obviously matters, it matters

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: a lot. You're playing for your country, but it's not

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: like the everyday grind of an NBA season. So how

105
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: much of that minute allocation and the offense running through

106
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: the those three guys, how much of that was almost

107
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 2: just like a side of respect from the whole outfit

108
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 2: as opposed to those are just the best players.

109
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: Well, no, I don't think it was any of that.

110
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 4: I think respect a side of course, everybody has great

111
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: respect for those three gentlemen. But the fact of it

112
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: being a necessity when KD came off the bench in

113
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: that first game from not being you know, having the

114
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: calf issue, he was seven for seven, five for five

115
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: from three, so immediately he had you got to see exactly, okay,

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: what he's bringing. He's the most prolific scorer in Olympic history,

117
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: and so it's it's one of those situations where look,

118
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: nothing was you know, was just given to them outside

119
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: of the fact that hey, this is your team Lebron

120
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: James on that stage of the world. I was just

121
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: sitting there like, oh my god, this is crazy, right.

122
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: And granted it wasn't an entire eighty two game NBA season,

123
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: it was six games, but they were intense. He was

124
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: tapped in, locked in playing defense, even tried to take

125
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: a charge, got punched on, you know, like it wasn't

126
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: it was all hands on deck, and the guys on

127
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: the team did not have a problem with him leading them.

128
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 4: And that's the sign of not only respect, but oh

129
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: he got this thing because you all knew in the

130
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 4: fourth quarter when Lebron James had the ball, you knew

131
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: something was going to happen. Now, him being with the

132
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: greatest shooter on the planet Earth, sure, right, that made

133
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: a huge difference because when he did drive or they

134
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: did that Lebron Steph high screen role. That's guaranteed money,

135
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: literally printing money. Who is Lebron in the regular season

136
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: playing with in the NBA season playing with like that?

137
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: Nobody isn't anybody like that, No anybody else like that exists.

138
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: So when you watch them, and you watched the other

139
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: team feed the other teammates feed off of that, that

140
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: pick and roll was done. If it was either a

141
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: high screen and roll with Steph orkd that was it.

142
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: That was the medicine. Everybody else was spotting up or

143
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: diving for the rebounds. And when you have those three

144
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: guys making the decisions at the end of the games

145
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: which needed to be made because they have they have

146
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: some tough ones, it goes to show you just the

147
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: greatness of them currently now at thirty at thirty nine,

148
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: thirty six, and thirty five, amazing, unbelievable.

149
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if there are words like I really

150
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: you know, it's funny, a friend of mine said, because

151
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: I made this point after they won the semi final matchup,

152
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: the matchup to get to the gold medal round, and

153
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: Steph scored what was it, thirty six points and had

154
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 2: the dagger in all this, and I'm right, and I'm

155
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: sitting here going good Lord, Like here we are talking

156
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: about Steph and Lebron as much as we do. They're

157
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: the ratings drivers in the NBA for over a decade,

158
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: but we're largely looking at them right now as individuals

159
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: where we're like, man, it's still really impressive.

160
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 3: The way those two play.

161
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: Their teams are not as relevant as maybe we want

162
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: them to be, or or they have.

163
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: Been in the last few years.

164
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: But hey, round of applause, you still look real good.

165
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: There's something dismissive about that. And these Olympics started to

166
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: adjust my thinking. And a friend of mine goes, what

167
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: do you think it was going to look like? Of course,

168
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: these are the three best players on Team USA. And

169
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: I stopped and thought about that, and I went, you

170
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: know what, I really didn't think it was going to

171
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: look this way. I don't know if I could answer

172
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: how I thought it would look. I did not think

173
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: when you list those twelve players to me, at no

174
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: point did I go, well, Steph, Lebron and KD are

175
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: going to be the absolute nucleus corps, the players that

176
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: matter and other high level, incredible, first team level NBA

177
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: talent would.

178
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: At times not even get into the game.

179
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: I did not think it would look like that, but

180
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: it looked like that, and so I am rejuvenated in

181
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: not wanting to move on from those players and their

182
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: NBA teams still potentially being relevant this year and beyond.

183
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the onus is on the organization to

184
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: understand what they have and to possibly you know, Golden

185
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: State's doing that. They're making moves, They're making decisions so

186
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: they can prolong Steph's career and give them an opportunity

187
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 4: to continue to play at a high level for something meaningful.

188
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 4: Outside of that, you're wasting greatness, and I think that's

189
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: a shame. I wish the Lakers would come on board

190
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 4: and figure something out because having Lebron James play at

191
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 4: this clip, having Anthony Davis playing like he played this

192
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: past season, I mean, you have a very tiny, small

193
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 4: window of an opportunity. Everybody else is getting ready. Everybody

194
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: who the Lakers wanted to date, you know, they swiped

195
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: left on them in terms of free agency. Everybody they

196
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: wanted swipe left. So what do you do right? How

197
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: do you put together a team that can really one

198
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: last gasp for Lebron James and really try to compete

199
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: in the Western Conference. It'd be interesting to know how

200
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: that's going to shake out.

201
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: No doubt.

202
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: And then don't forget I mean, we do we forget that.

203
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: At the beginning of last NBA season, there was a

204
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: whole lot of buzz about the Phoenix Suns. There was

205
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: a whole lot of buzz about the Phoenix Suns. Right

206
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: they had gotten Bradley Beal and that was the you know,

207
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: an incredibly top heavy, high end roster. But they were

208
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: among the favorites, top two favorites in the Western Conference,

209
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: and they kind of had a sleepy season and people

210
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: decided that these contracts are just out of whack. But

211
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: they need a point guard and you know, Tyas Jones, like,

212
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: there's some different things that the Sons are doing this year.

213
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't count them out either. I wouldn't count them

214
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: out either. They got a new coach. They're gonna work

215
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 2: things around Kevin Durant. I don't know, like I realize

216
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: they are declining players simply because of how many years

217
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: they've been on the Earth. But this was eye opening

218
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: to me that the top level NBA talent all got

219
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: together and still looked directly to those three guys.

220
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, the proof is in the pudding and the one

221
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: thing you need when you go off and you play

222
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: in Foeba and Olympics, you need maturity. Okay, athleticism, all

223
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: of that. You know, of shooting, all of that's great,

224
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: but the maturity comes from Basketball IQ, which can see

225
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: situations before they're happening and can address those situations in

226
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: a timely manner. No panic there whatsoever. And so we

227
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: talk about Steph, you talk about KD, and you talk

228
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: about Lebron James. All of been league MVPs. All of

229
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: them have been finals MVPs, all of them have won

230
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 4: multiple championships. And so when you talk about maturity that

231
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: has been through every situation, been down by twenty in

232
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: the fourth, been up by two with a minute to go.

233
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: They've seen and been a part of every single scenario

234
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: in basketball. So there is no wonder that the team

235
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: coaches would lean on them in the last two games

236
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 4: that they played, which they needed every bit of them

237
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 4: to win. I mean it comes with maturity, and that's

238
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: what it is. You can have. You you can be

239
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: Anthony da Anthony Edwards jumping out the gym yeah, bam

240
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: out to buy you. You can have all of this,

241
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: all of them, but nothing beats experience because when you

242
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: have experience and you have maturity, you don't panic.

243
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: America wins go.

244
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: It was fascinating, However, it was not without controversy. Sports

00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: in on this one first, okay. Jason Tatum's mom responded

281
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: to broadcasting legend Dick Vital on Twitter. Dick Vital wrote,

282
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: somebody please let me know is Jason Tatum injured as

283
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: he hasn't received the pt that you would expect an

284
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: All NBA player to get, And Mama responded, no, you not,

285
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: but if you find out what's going on, please let

286
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: me know. Unacceptable and makes all caps no sense.

287
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: Talk to me. What do you think?

288
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 4: How effective was Jason Tatum?

289
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: Uh? This Olympics?

290
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 2: I don't even necessarily know how to answer that, Like,

291
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: not not that effective when he Yeah, not when he

292
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: when he played?

293
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 4: Not did he make a three or did he make

294
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: a jump shot at any point? At any point?

295
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have all stats in front of me.

296
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm gathering no, so.

297
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: When you have a collection of talent and look, I'm

298
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: not taking anything away from Jason Tatum. I think he's

299
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: a tremendous player. I think he's a tremendous player. He's

300
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 4: he was the only first team All NBA player on

301
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: the Olympic team. The other four were essentially playing against

302
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 4: the US, right, so you would say, okay, well, with that,

303
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: he should be playing. But when he did play, it

304
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: wasn't you know. And look and most of the games

305
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: the US came out, they handled their business. They knew

306
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: what they were going to do so on and so forth.

307
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 4: Everybody's not going to play, right, Like, everybody's not going

308
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: to get considerable minutes. Do you say, well, he should

309
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: be starting over Devin Booker. Well, that's what practices were for,

310
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: that's what chemistry was for. Well, he should come in

311
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 4: before Devin White. Well, obviously they have information that we

312
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: don't have. It's not that they don't like Jason Tatum. Right,

313
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: joelan Biid didn't play a lot, did he not?

314
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: Not the last one, but he had he had a

315
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: big role and some argued way too long of a

316
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: role in the semi final.

317
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 4: But do you know why the reason Joel Embiid is

318
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: on this team. Number one was so he didn't play

319
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 4: for France, right, and number two to go up against

320
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: Nicola Jokic from Serbia. Joelanbid gave us size that we

321
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: did not have on this Olympic team. Name me another

322
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: big All star caliber player in the NBA that wasn't

323
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 4: on this roster exactly.

324
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: So, I mean I could have said, Carl Anthony Towns

325
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: if you wanted me.

326
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: To, well, is that what do you is that what

327
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: you're you're bringing?

328
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: No, because he doesn't like to go inside the three,

329
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 3: thank you.

330
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: He's not playing anywhere in there. Yeah yeah, So, I

331
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: mean they wouldn't got Rudy Gobert, so he wouldn't have

332
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 4: to yep, and they start together. So in terms of

333
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 4: putting a team together, the only three players on the

334
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: team that didn't have to try out were Lebron, Stephan Clay.

335
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 4: I mean, Lebron, Steph and KD. That was it. They were,

336
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: hey man, y'all want to play, y'all can come on

337
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: in here and play. It was it was training. Everybody

338
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: else had the priority, and then they picked the team

339
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 4: from that. So all I would say with you know,

340
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: the Jason Tatum situation is no, he wasn't hurt. He

341
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: wasn't as effective as others were, so he played less

342
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 4: than others. When Joel and b was ineffective, he didn't

343
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: play at all, and they were criticized. They were very

344
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 4: critical of his efforts. But when they needed him against

345
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 4: the best big man in the world, he showed up

346
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: and showed out. And that's what being a pro and

347
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: an All Star is all about. Period. You gotta take

348
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: the good. You gotta take the good with the bad,

349
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: just like whenever we run over in time, right, I

350
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 4: get this glare, this eagle eye glare from our MVP,

351
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 4: from our All first team, All Broadcast selection and won

352
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: steven eagle eye to say here.

353
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 6: I think you're just seeing the glare, literally the glare

354
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: on the glass in front of me. But guys, yesterday,

355
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 6: of course, was the US men beating France for the

356
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 6: gold medal. Today US women's basketball beat France in Paris

357
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 6: for the gold medal sixty seven sixty six the final,

358
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 6: and the Americans were down by ten points in the

359
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 6: third quarter. The score was thirty five twenty five. The

360
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 6: US had twenty five and it was the third quarter,

361
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 6: but it matter. At the last five minutes of the game,

362
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 6: the US went thirteen to fourteen on free throws. Here

363
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 6: are the Americans that had fifteen turnovers first half, nineteen

364
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 6: for the game. France's last second shot banked in, but

365
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 6: the shooter's foot was clearly on the three point line.

366
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 6: France lost by one. Asia Wilson twenty one points, thirteen rebounds,

367
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 6: four blocks after she started two of ten shooting from

368
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 6: the floor. Today, Wilson was named MVP of the Olympic Tournament.

369
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 6: Brittany Griner played less than five minutes in this game

370
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 6: Diana Tarassi did not play. It is their eighth straight

371
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 6: gold medal, most with Tarasi on the roster. The US

372
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: women haven't lost a game in the Olympics since nineteen

373
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 6: ninety two sixty one straight victories in Olympic play, and

374
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 6: in the previous sixty straight wins, the US women had

375
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 6: been held to a single digit victory only twice. This

376
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 6: was the fortieth gold medal in France for Team USA.

377
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 6: In general, tyme China for the most this summer. Overall,

378
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 6: the US had one hundred and twenty six medals, China

379
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 6: with ninety one. And as you mentioned, the US men

380
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 6: winning that gold medal against France yesterday is Steph Curry

381
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 6: from three point range was eight for twelve for his

382
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: twenty four points. And in the Semis, remember the US

383
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: came from seventeen points down.

384
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 4: To beat Serbia.

385
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 6: The US led for less than three and a half

386
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 6: minutes in that game, where Steph Curry scored thirty six

387
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 6: points and had nine three pointers made the second half

388
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 6: of Thursday's American comeback win drew thirteen and a half

389
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 6: million TV viewers here, more than any NBA Finals game

390
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 6: since the Golden State clincher. In twenty twenty two. This

391
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 6: was a Thursday daytime, not a Sunday night prime time.

392
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 6: Astounding numbers for the Olympics in general. This summer, USA

393
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 6: women's basketball was swept by Italy, and today's final US

394
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 6: men's water polo won its bronze medal match in a

395
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 6: shootout eleven eight over Hungary cyclist Jennifer Valentia. The US

396
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 6: took Golden Women's Omnium. The closing ceremony was today NASCAR's

397
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 6: at Richmond tonight with the race in progress there threw

398
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 6: three hundred and twenty five laps of the four hundred scheduled.

399
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 6: Denny Hamlin in the lead, Austin Dillon second. Joey Logano

400
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 6: is run third. In MLB action at Seattle, its Mariners

401
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 6: over the Mets four to nothing in the bottom of

402
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 6: the fifth. Earlier today, the Yankees edge Texas eight to seven,

403
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay edge Baltimore two to one. Cleveland got a

404
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 6: five to three win at Minnesota, and we had two

405
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 6: NFL exhibitions today. Denver a thirty four to thirty winner

406
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 6: at Indianapolis, but the game in LA had the Rams

407
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 6: beating Dallas thirteen to twelve on a late touchdown pass

408
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 6: by Stetson Bennett, who had thrown four interceptions.

409
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: In this one.

410
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 6: The only TD of the game came with four seconds left.

411
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 6: Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance had six carries forty four yards passing.

412
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 6: He was twenty five of forty one forty one pass

413
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 6: attempts in an exhibition, all of that for only one

414
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 6: hundred and eighty eight yards through the air. Trey Lance

415
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 6: played nearly the whole game. He came in after the

416
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 6: first series one final note, you were talking about the

417
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 6: men's team. The win in Paris against France hit hard,

418
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 6: apparently at McDonald's France.

419
00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: As joking.

420
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 6: They posted an Instagram message today after the loss to

421
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 6: Curry and Company saying, quote, for obvious reasons, we are

422
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 6: considering removing this sauce, and they included a picture of

423
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 6: their Curry dipping sauce.

424
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: I love that, and I'm not done with the Tatum thing.

425
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: But because Steve just gave the details, and Steve, thank

426
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: you for that the context of the Trey Lance performance,

427
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: because I'll admit a little hole in my game today,

428
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: I've got the kids out on vacation. I actually spent

429
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: the day out on a laker.

430
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: I would.

431
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: I know, I know, Sunday in August, stupid me for

432
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: going on a boat. But anyway, we were on a boat,

433
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: and so I didn't. I didn't watch the Rams play

434
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. I do remember that those are the two

435
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: teams that were playing each other in the preseason when

436
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: the legend that is Dak Prescott was born. Do you

437
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: remember that it happened at the LA Coliseum and everybody

438
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: freaked out. Well, anyway, I get a buzz that like,

439
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: Trey Lance looked good?

440
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 3: Did he? I mean, you heard those numbers?

441
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: He was given an entire preseason game, which is rare

442
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: in and of itself, but secondarily twenty five or forty one,

443
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: that's fine. He didn't turn the ball over, he did

444
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: not throw a touchdown pass. The team scored twelve points

445
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: in forty one pass attempts. He threw for one hundred

446
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: and eighty eight yards. That is an average of four

447
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: point six yards per attempt. That is checks notes not good.

448
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: His quarterback rating for the game seventy two. Did Trey

449
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Lance look good?

450
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 4: The thing that I'll say about that, and I'm looking

451
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 4: at this through through different glasses than someone who would

452
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 4: just be like, oh, this is awful. This is probably

453
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: the longest we've seen him play in two years, no doubt.

454
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: This is probably the longest he has played in two years.

455
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: Prior to that, he hadn't played a bunch of football

456
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 4: in life in general.

457
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: Good point.

458
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: So what I saw was I saw he looked different

459
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: than he did in San Francisco. The game didn't look

460
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: too fast and too big for him. The thing that

461
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 4: I liked about what Trey Lance was doing was when

462
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: the pocket did break down, Oh and it did, he scrambled,

463
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: but he kept his eyes down feel that's good. And

464
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: he made throws on the run off script, off time,

465
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 4: and he completed some passes down the field and other situations.

466
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 4: He kept his eyes downfield, and he extended drives on

467
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 4: third and nine, third and twelve with his legs after

468
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 4: no one came open down the field, he was able

469
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 4: to maneuver in the pocket, break the pocket, and pick

470
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 4: up the first down. To me, those things are amazing

471
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: for someone we haven't seen play a lot of football,

472
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: and I'm taking it as that is a step forward. Now,

473
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: if I were Dallas, I would let him play. I

474
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 4: believe they have two more preseason games. I would let

475
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 4: him play all of them, all of them, every snap,

476
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 4: in every play in both of those games, because that

477
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 4: is the only way they're going to be able to

478
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: really make a decision now if he progresses from this

479
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: game to the next game, because I believe most if

480
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 4: this according to the new way the three preseason games,

481
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 4: if you are gonna play starters, it'll probably be in

482
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: the second preseason game because you're definitely not gonna play

483
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: them in a third. So this will be a test

484
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: for them, and they play the Raiders, so this will

485
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: be a test for them in Oakland on the road.

486
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: I think it would be great for him and his growth.

487
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: Now you can start to try to make a collective decision.

488
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 4: Does he have enough to warrant being the backup to

489
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott this year?

490
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

491
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know to what level they're considering that

492
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush comes in. Does one series goes two for

493
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: three for forty four yards and then that's it? But yeah,

494
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: maybe they are considering it. Or does he stay as

495
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: QB three. I'll also say this, it's funny you're talking

496
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: about it. There's two more preseason games to go for

497
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, the Cowboys versus the Rams.

498
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the box score.

499
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: Now there were a total of like almost a zero

500
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: players who are going to actually play in regular season

501
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: games who played in this game. The Rams are famous

502
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: for this. Sean McVay just flat out doesn't do it.

503
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: And the Cowboys they might be lacking readiness for the

504
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: season more than any team I have ever seen in

505
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: this era. I mean, Jerry Jones is publicly being yet

506
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: we got no urgency on the Ceedee Lamb thing. Haven't

507
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: addressed the Dak Prescott thing. Nobody thinks any of the

508
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: running backs in the entire room.

509
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: Or any good. They didn't do anything this offseason.

510
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: Seemingly do they know that there's a game in four

511
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: weeks they're there supposed to try to win.

512
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: Like, look, I don't know. And maybe this is part

513
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 4: of Jerry Jones' evil mastermind of drumming up relevancy, because

514
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody has to be talking about the lack

515
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: of preparation, of lack of urgency, everything you just mentioned

516
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: With the Dallas Cowboys, everybody has to be talking about

517
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: what are they doing? Like what is happening? They're no

518
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 4: running backs? Ezekiel Ellot is penciled in as a starter,

519
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: and what world are we doing that you have no

520
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: receivers you, I mean, you're bona fide all pro receiver

521
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 4: is nowhere to be found and yet antagonizing him. And

522
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 4: and you know, Dak Prescott is in a year where

523
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 4: he needs all the help and all the weapons he

524
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: can get and it's just not being done. So I

525
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: don't know if he's self sabotaging. And I don't know,

526
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 4: but guess what we're talking about it. We're asking the

527
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: question what's going on with Dallas?

528
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: Who has that? For you?

529
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 4: Nothing? I mean Jerry Jones, as we know, loves publicity.

530
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 4: I love but whether you win or lose. For you,

531
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 4: whether you win or lose, he would rather you talk

532
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: about the team, whether they're terrible or good, as long

533
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: as you're talking about us.

534
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, get getting loled on Twitter by

535
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: your star wide receiver. That ain't good. I don't that's

536
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: not consider that. That's not the good attention.

537
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 4: No, you don't want that.

538
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 3: No.

539
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: And speaking of which, I do want to circle back

540
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: to the Tatum thing, because you made great points with

541
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: regard to Tatum and his effectiveness and his minutes and

542
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: all that. What's simply about the fact that Mom went

543
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: to Twitter because that's a thing now that most players

544
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: I've talked to, you know, would prefer that family members don't.

545
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: Please don't.

546
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to hear you speak on that. Coming

547
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: up next, Mark, Mark Willardy from salam This is Fox

554
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: That is he from Salamon I, Mark Weather, thank you

555
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: for being with us here on this Sunday evening. A

556
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 2: lot still to get to Olympics related NFL preseason.

557
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 3: All kinds of places to go. All right, So let's

558
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 3: circle back.

559
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum's mom tweets out unacceptable and makes no sense

560
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: with regard.

561
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: To JT's playing time. This is before the gold.

562
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: Medal game where Jason got eleven minutes and scored a bucket.

563
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: But in general, when things are frustrated for a player

564
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 2: and the inner circle wife, the kids, the mom, the dad,

565
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: the brother, the sister, the husband, go on social media

566
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 2: and fire away, what are your thoughts?

567
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I don't like it because Number one,

568
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 4: no matter what you think you know as of someone's mom, parent, brother, cousin, sister, husband,

569
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 4: you don't know the full story. You're only getting one

570
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: side of the story. Whether said person said athlete is

571
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 4: complaining to you, are telling you their side of the story.

572
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 4: So you don't have all the information. And if someone

573
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 4: is speaking out who doesn't have all the information, that's

574
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 4: never a good thing in any facet, especially when it

575
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with you personally. Yes, that is

576
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 4: her son, I get it right, but it's not happening

577
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 4: to you, So you're not in the room, you're not

578
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 4: having the conversations, and you don't know what's going on. Right,

579
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 4: because there have been times things happen in my career

580
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 4: where my wife wanted to get in the car. It

581
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: was no social media back then, but you wanted to

582
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: get in the car and go up to the facility,

583
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 4: kick the door in and start flipping over tables right.

584
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: The sports right.

585
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 4: No, of course they're going to be emotional when it

586
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 4: comes to their loved one. We all are. We all are.

587
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 4: I gotta listen to Dad's all day when I'm coaching,

588
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 4: wondering you know this and that, and I get it.

589
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: Hey man, I get it, But you weren't at practice

590
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 4: this week when he couldn't do run to play, He

591
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 4: couldn't make a shot to save his life. Like, you don't.

592
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 4: You don't get to know all of the things. So

593
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 4: to speak on something that you don't have all the

594
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 4: information about, it's only to the detriment of the athlete.

595
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: Well, I like, and as.

596
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 4: You don't need your mama to fight your battles.

597
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 3: No you don't.

598
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of a time when a family

599
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: member on social media actually led to something good. And

600
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: in fact, I can't really think of that many times

601
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 2: when the player or the agent or the high level

602
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: reporter going to bat on social media. I do think

603
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: it happens. It is Anne Avenue in twenty twenty four.

604
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: One thing that comes to mind, There was, there was

605
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: you know again, same thing, same coach. Steve Kerr and

606
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: his minute allocation is something that we locally in the

607
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: Bay we talk about every single week.

608
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: All year long.

609
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr and his rotations. For whatever reason, it really

610
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 2: gets under people's skin. Apparently four rings is not quite

611
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: enough enough, not enough to convince people that he might

612
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 2: have a slight idea what he's doing. And in this case,

613
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 2: he's got Spolstra, he's got ty lu like, he's got

614
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: a who's who of NBA coach sitting there on the

615
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 2: staff and apparently we're out here in Twitterville going bunch

616
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: of idiots. Okay, fine, if that's what you think, that's

617
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 2: we're all allowed to have that opinion. But there was

618
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: a situation earlier this year with the Warriors where Jonathan Kaminga,

619
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 2: presumably his agent, finally went to sham Sharania and said,

620
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: Jonathan has lost faith of faith in this coaching staff

621
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: because he wasn't getting the minutes and he no longer

622
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: believes that Steve Kerr is the coach for him to

623
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: sort of grow under. The very next night, Kaminga's minutes

624
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: went up and they stayed up, and Kaminga averaged like

625
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: close to twenty points a.

626
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 3: Game the rest of the way.

627
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: So you can argue that maybe social media air quotes

628
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: helped a little bit there, but largely this is just

629
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: a place to vent and unfortunate. I think venting usually

630
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: does better in private.

631
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 4: He always, yeah, always, or a therapist office, right, either one.

632
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: You need to get it off your chest. You don't

633
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: need to let the whole world know about it, because

634
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: because it just puts more you're irrational by definition if

635
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: you're feeling that one man.

636
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 4: Look, the man just won an NBA championship. He's got

637
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 4: a gold medal. Now, didn't play a lot, didn't play

638
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 4: well when he did play. Okay, are we He's got

639
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: a gold medal. Let's move on. Tyrese Holliburton is taking

640
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: it pretty well.

641
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: His player that hit him.

642
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 4: His tweet was hilarious.

643
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: It was hysterical for those who didn't see it. He said,

644
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: basically took a picture of himself and it was like

645
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: when you don't do anything on the group project, but

646
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 2: you still.

647
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: Can get to a right. But guess what in four years,

648
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty eight, he'll be a part of that team.

649
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: He'll be a part of that team after going through

650
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 4: the gauntlet of the Olympics. What it means, right, you

651
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 4: have to bring the younger players along. There will be

652
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 4: no Lebron, Steph or KD. So who's next. This will

653
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 4: be a perfect opportunity for Jason Tatum to take over

654
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 4: the reins. He'll be what thirty two or thirty one? No,

655
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: if Lebron's leading the way in four years. Then we

656
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: really got to start questioning some things. But I don't

657
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 4: think that's gonna happen.

658
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 3: More on the.

659
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 2: Olympics, but a different question coming up next. I'm holding

660
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: all the wide receiver stuff until later. I need a

661
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: break from wide receivers.

662
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: I don't know about you.

663
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: I know you just celebrated the greatness of one of

664
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: your favorite wide receivers who was Captain not at the

665
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame induction ceremony not too long ago. But

666
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 2: we got a lot of wide receivers that need a

667
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: lot of things right now, and I just need a

668
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 2: moment to formulate my thoughts and we'll get there. Instead,

669
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: I have a different question for you about the Olympics,

670
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: and I do want to try to get this across

671
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: without making anybody upset. Let me first just say we're

672
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios. Tyrac dot

673
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 2: com will help you get there on matt selection, fast

675
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: tyrac dot com The way tire buying should be. I

676
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: bet that our guy Steve Disager, I bet he's twenty

677
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: eight minutes away from potentially in what he has to

678
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: share with us. It might be the metal count. The

679
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: metal count might be out there. I for one, and

680
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to lose this battle. I would

681
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: love for the metal count to go away.

682
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 3: This is what I'm trying to say here. I'll try

683
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: to get I know, just just hear me out.

684
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: On an individual level, if you give me a LEDECI

685
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: or that race that you and I were freaking out

686
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: about with Noah Lyles last week, or even what either

687
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 2: of the basketball teams have just achieved and the women's

688
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: soccer team, and on an individual level, I can be

689
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: impressed and prideful and amazed and congratulatory for American athletes

690
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: when they achieved their lifelong dream. I think it's amazing

691
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: and there's not a damn thing in the world that

692
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: could take anything away from that.

693
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 3: And nothing shit. However, here's here's the bigger view.

694
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 2: When we look at the Olympics as a medal count

695
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: and we pat ourselves on the back, you know, for

696
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 2: beating like Ghana, it just it comes off as odd

697
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: to me. It's a little self indulgent. When we've got

698
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: all the money and all the people and all the

699
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: resources and then we go, look at us, we beat

700
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: you again. Like in other words, we already knew we

701
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: were going to get the most medals. No, we knew

702
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: that before this started.

703
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 4: Well, we knew we'd have the most total medals. Yes, yes,

704
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 4: but the race is truly with who gets the most

705
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 4: gold medals. That's where the race really lies.

706
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 2: Okay, and how many countries are we really competing with one?

707
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 4: Okay, you're talking about all right, this is all right,

708
00:43:58,920 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: these are secrets.

709
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: Well, then that's a pretty small opponent to defeat.

710
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's also a superpower fair and it has,

711
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 4: you know, whether you want to believe it or not,

712
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: it has also political ramifications. Yes, so it's a the

713
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 4: biggest thing. And this goes back to the was the

714
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 4: nineteen thirty eight Olympics, I believe, I don't know with

715
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 4: Jesse Owens, Yes, who was considered you know, less than

716
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: human and far less superior than the Aryan race in

717
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 4: front of Hitler to beat everyone who was up against him. Yes,

718
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 4: there's more to that level of performance in terms of

719
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 4: just athletes competing against each other. The Olympics is always

720
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 4: like that, well we're.

721
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 3: Visual that was like, that's the part that I.

722
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 4: Love, yes, but we also as individuals, as athletes, also

723
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 4: represent the totality of a country, a country that in

724
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 4: some cases may not be as you know, together as

725
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 4: as it should be.

726
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 3: I was wondering what word you're going to put it on.

727
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: I'm trying to I'm trying to get this thing out right.

728
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: Go slow, We got time.

729
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 4: And so the one thing I love about sport, especially

730
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 4: the Olympics, but in sport in general, is no matter what,

731
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 4: when it comes to your team, your country, no matter

732
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 4: what your beliefs are, religious background, you can find a

733
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 4: sense of pride, in a sense of self in cheering

734
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 4: for your team. That's what the Olympics is about. Yes,

735
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 4: And so the medal count matters because winning matters when

736
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 4: you compete. Winning matters on any I don't want to

737
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 4: say on any level, but on a professional level, winning matters.

738
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 4: We revere the you know, Kansas City Chiefs and what

739
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 4: they're doing and how they've been able to consistent. We

740
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 4: revere the Goat, Tom Brady and the Patriots, and right

741
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 4: we revere the Celtics and the Nuggets. Like so, when

742
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 4: when you're competing, it matters, right, winning matters, And when

743
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 4: it's a worldwide thing right, and some people's minds, the

744
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 4: United States has taken a step back in terms of

745
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,959
Speaker 4: world powers because of the discourse in this country. We're

746
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 4: a divided country. There's no secret there once was a

747
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: political thing where there is no bipartisanship anymore. And so

748
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 4: when you look at the grand scheme of thing everywhether

749
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: you're going where they're Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever it was.

750
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 4: When you watch the Olympics, you were cheering for the

751
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 4: United States. That should be a microcosm of how we

752
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 4: feel about each other in this country. If you have

753
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 4: a problem with African Americans or black people in this country,

754
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 4: but you can sit up and you can cheer for

755
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 4: the US men's basketball team or a myriad of other

756
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 4: African American athletes, and you can pull for them for

757
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 4: goal or to win. How Come you can't pull for

758
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 4: them to live? How Come you can't pull for them

759
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 4: as human beings? And so I like sports because of that.

760
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 4: I like very much so having you know, games and

761
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 4: watching games, whether it be football, basketball, baseball, whatever that is,

762
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 4: and you look into the stands and you don't care

763
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 4: that the Jewish guys sitting next to the Muslim guy

764
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 4: sitting next to the Christian guy and they're all high

765
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 4: fiving because their team just hit a home run, scored

766
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 4: a touchdown, hit a game winner. That is what sports does.

767
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 4: It's supposed to galvanize you, and I pray that coming

768
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 4: off it was a great Olympics. Paris was amazing. This

769
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 4: was great. Coming off this level of excellence for our country.

770
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 4: People can remember we're all Americans, We're all in this together.

771
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 4: At the Olympics, it was us against the world, so

772
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 4: it shouldn't be us against us now.

773
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 3: Like that.

774
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 4: That's the message and the patriotism that I hope people

775
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 4: took from watching the Olympics. And that's why winning matters.

776
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 4: That's why the medal count matters, because everybody wants to

777
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 4: feel like a winner. And if the US win, they

778
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 4: get the most goals of the most medals. That means

779
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 4: we all win in a lifetime of losing for most people.

780
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 3: HM, I can't argue with any of that.

781
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: That's very very well said, and that's taking it to

782
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 2: a very very important place. There are times and again

783
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 2: I feel all of that because you're talking about the

784
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 2: experience of sitting down and watching any individual act or

785
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 2: even if it's a group of people. If it's a

786
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: team like Team USA hoops or soccer or whatever, you

787
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: can sit down and watch and sort of feel that.

788
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 3: There are moments when I.

789
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: Look at this and compare it to certain teams that

790
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 2: we've seen come together in the more traditional sports. I'll

791
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: use this as an example just because it's the first

792
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 2: one that comes to mind. But what I heard, because

793
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: you're right, winning matters, and it should never be taken

794
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: for granted and it should never be assumed.

795
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 3: But we do this sometimes.

796
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 2: When the Kevin Durant era with the Golden State Warriors happened,

797
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: when they won those championships, I repeatedly heard people say, well,

798
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 2: of course they won, They've got all the good players.

799
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 2: It would have been ridiculous if they didn't win, and

800
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: it was rather unfair.

801
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,439
Speaker 3: I don't like the way this came together.

802
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 2: And it robs quite frankly, it robs people of their achievement.

803
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't want to do that by

804
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 2: any stretch, But there are moments when I look at

805
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: the way that I hear people talk about tournaments or

806
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: events such as this one, and there's a little bit

807
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 2: of chess in in spots where it just kind of.

808
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: It makes me jockle, that's all. It makes me jackle.

809
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 2: And that comes from a place that I think is

810
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 2: actually overlapped with where you're coming from, which is what

811
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 2: I want the Olympics to do for every American is

812
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 2: produce gratitude.

813
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 3: That's what that's my goal with the Olympics.

814
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: That's when I look at what's happening out there, instead

815
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 2: of you know, we're going to dance on some other nation,

816
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 2: or we're going to worry about what color a person

817
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 2: is as they're achieving something like, use this to realize

818
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 2: what we have, because what we have is pretty amazing.

819
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 4: It is amazing. And the one thing you have to

820
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 4: know is if the amount of hate in the world,

821
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 4: not just this country, in the world is at a

822
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 4: toxic level, I'm talking about an extinction level. So if

823
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 4: we keep on this path, the path will end. And

824
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 4: so when you see these athletes and they're on the

825
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 4: podium and they're representing their countries, there's every race, nationality, color,

826
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: ethnic background, religious background, every single thing is represented. We

827
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 4: just happen to have a nation where we have more

828
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 4: representation in all of those facets that I just talked

829
00:53:52,440 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 4: about than a lot of nations. And so when you see,

830
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 4: you know, someone on the podium representing the United States

831
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 4: and their Muslim, are their you know, black, white, Hispanic, Asian,

832
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 4: any of these things representing the country. If your heart

833
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 4: is full of hate at home watching the podium and

834
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 4: the awards, it softens. You know why, it softens because

835
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 4: you can see past the hate and relish and the

836
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 4: pride of being an American. You can see past you're

837
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 4: dislike for the visual aspect of whoever is winning, and

838
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 4: you can tap into your patriotism. I think it's important

839
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 4: to be able to do, even if it's for a

840
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 4: second that hatred subsides and you can only see the

841
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 4: country and the pride you have in that country. And

842
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 4: I think that is a powerful thing to have, even

843
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 4: if it's for a split second. However long that that

844
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 4: ceremony is, you forget about the hate and you just

845
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 4: live and relish in the accomplishment and the pride. And

846
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 4: if we can do that on a daily basis, goodness gracious,

847
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 4: we can extend that path to right. You get what

848
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

849
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 3: I get exactly what you're saying. And it's all very and.

850
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 4: I didn't mean to be preaching and preaching, you know,

851
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 4: but it's.

852
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 2: A message well received. And look, you know it's the

853
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 2: time is now because here we are this you.

854
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 4: Know what's about to happen? Right, all of this greatness

855
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 4: in America and in pride and being together. Elections is

856
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 4: coming up in two months. Is it about to be? Hate? Hate?

857
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: Hate?

858
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 3: Hate?

859
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: All all you can do is leave the Olympics and

860
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 2: just open up your laptop.

861
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 3: That's it. Hate. Yes, it's bad. Get yourself a big

862
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 3: ladle full of hate. It's right there for you.

863
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 4: And that's the part I hate.

864
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

865
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,920

00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: about Jerry Jones' comments about Ceedee Lamb. Well, there are

876
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 2: more comment that we need to get to, so we'll

877
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 2: do that coming up next on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

878

Speaker 2: we're live intheti RAG dot Com Studios and alongside e

879
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 2: from Salam, I'm Mark Willard. Want to see a moonwalk?

880
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: This is pretty good. So Jerry Jones the other day

881
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 2: essentially says there's no urgency to UH to get a

882
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 2: contract done with Ceedee Lamb, and Ceedee Lamb quote tweets

883
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 2: the quote and just writes lol, which clearly forced an

884
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 2: emergency meeting.

885
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 3: You can tell.

886
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 2: You could tell that the boardroom got the lights turned

887
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 2: on and everybody got together.

888
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 3: Oh hey, wait, wait.

889
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: A minute, now, what are we saying in a public space,

890
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 2: because listen, listen to this now. Now he comes out

891
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 2: and says, quote, Now, I understand completely the anngst that's

892
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: happening when you're anxious about and someone says anything about

893
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 2: whether you're missed or not, Well, CD, you're missed. And

894
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 2: he goes on about his original comment. I don't know

895
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 2: why I said it. I don't know. I don't have

896
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 2: a sense of urgency about getting it done. Put any

897
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,439
Speaker 2: reason you want. I was at no boo two days ago.

898
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 2: Give that as the reason whatever you want to put

899
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: out there. And Jones, oh, let me look that up.

900
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 4: Eighty what eighty six old?

901
00:58:54,200 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighty five, he's getting up there, eighty one eighty one.

902
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 4: So as sharp as he may be or seemed to be,

903
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 4: or think he is, there is some slippage there, right.

904
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 4: So when you get older. You know, my father was

905
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 4: eighty two years old before he passed. Yeah, And so

906
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 4: there would be less of a filter in our conversations,

907
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 4: and so it was, you know, things would come out

908
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 4: and E'd be like, oh, oh, you know, I didn't

909
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't mean that one like that the

910
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 4: way I you know it sounded, didn't, you know? Because look,

911
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 4: age does it to us all. Age does it to

912
00:59:54,280 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 4: us all. And so it's a situation where you sometimes

913
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 4: can't stop yourself from saying what you feel. And Jerry

914
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 4: Jones has had that problem even in his younger days.

915
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 4: So the older you get, the less capacity you have

916
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:26,479
Speaker 4: for stopping that case. In point years ago, when Dak

917
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 4: Prescott took over and Tony Woman hurt his back and

918
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 4: then he was healthy again, Jerry Jones said, what Tony wrong?

919
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 4: Was O starter? Stephen Jones said, no, he's not. Do

920
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 4: you get what I'm saying.

921
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 3: I get exactly what you're saying.

922
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 4: No, he's not.

923
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 3: No, he's not, he's not that he's not well.

924
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 4: And so this is old situations where it's like they

925
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 4: had a meeting and they informed him, Hey man, that's

926
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 4: not it.

927
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then he went out and did some more

928
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 2: that's not it. Like, I don't even know what the

929
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 2: next one meant. I don't know why I said it.

930
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: I don't have a sense of urgency. Put any reason

931
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 2: you want.

932

Speaker 2: just looked up his birthday and something popped into my head.

937
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 2: And it's because there's a personal tie to it. All

Speaker 3: I don't.

954
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 2: I don't think that that would be the best, like

955
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 2: probably not the best situation for him.

956

Speaker 3: Hey man, what's going on?

960
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's what maybe CD Limb really did mean.

961
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 3: Lol, Like everyone took it to me and he was offended.

962
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 3: Maybe he was just like, oh man, Jerry, yeah, what

963
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 3: whatever the hell he's talking about? Anyway? You know, you

Speaker 2: Really do love giving microphones to in a public space.

01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 4: Me No, uh left me now, Steve, Steve.

967
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 2: I give him a microphone and a bunch of people listening,

968
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 2: and it's like magic.

969
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 6: Well, hello, gentlemen, by Steve Back this hour, and we

970
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 6: have NFL to discuss briefly because next Sunday nights on

971
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 6: Fox TV there's a preseason game San Francisco hosting New Orleans.

972
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 6: The two teams will not hold joint practices this week

973
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 6: because the forty nine ers are low on players. How

974
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 6: that happens at this point in the preseason is beyond

975
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 6: me when you have guys in duplicate numbers out on

976
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 6: the field and seemingly one hundred people running out of

977
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 6: the tunnel. But okay, no joint practices and they'll play

978
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 6: quote for real on the field in Santa Clara on

979
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 6: Sunday night on Fox. We did have two exhibitions today

980
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 6: in La. It was all field goals until a Stetson

981
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 6: Bennett touchdown pass for the Rams in the final seconds

982
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 6: beat Dallas thirteen to twelve. Denver won at Indy thirty

983
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 6: four to thirty. Rookie quarterback Bo Nixon five drives led

984
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 6: the Broncos to four scores. He went fifteen of twenty

985
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 6: one passing one hundred and twenty five yards and one TD.

986
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 6: NASCAR's over at Richmond, Austin Dillis tilling with a late

987
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 6: bump gets credit for the win. The Cup Series was

988
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 6: off for the last two weekends. In Major League Baseball

989
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 6: at Seattle, top of the eighth, the Mariners lead the

990
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 6: Mets twelve to one. The Dodgers in ten innings edge

991
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh six to five, Yankees eight to seven over Texas.

992
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 6: Marcus Stroman the win. Tampa Bay beat Baltimore encloser Craig

993
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,959
Speaker 6: Kimbrel two to one. Arizona defeated Philadelphia again, twelve to five.

994
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 6: Arizona has won twenty one of its last twenty seven games.

995
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 6: US women's basketball took the Olympic final against France in

996
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 6: Paris sixty seven sixty six. The Americans trailed by ten

997
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 6: points in the third quarter. Asia Wilson, the tournament MVP,

998
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 6: finished with twenty one points, thirteen rebounds, four blocks. It

999
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 6: is their eighth straight gold medal. You have to say

1000
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 6: this out loud and just kind of pause. In Olympic play,

1001
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 6: They've won sixty one games in a row. What is

1002
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 6: going on here? In fact, the US women in hoops

1003
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 6: since the nineteen eighty four Olympics seventy five and one.

1004
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 6: US women's volleyball was swept by Italy and today's final

1005
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 6: US men's water polo won its bronze medal match in

1006
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 6: a shootout cyclist Jennifer Valentia. The US took gold in

1007
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 6: the women's omnium. The closing ceremony was today. The next

1008
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,439
Speaker 6: Summer Olympics will be in Los Angeles twenty twenty eight,

1009
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 6: and by the way, the new Clippers Arena opens this week.

1010
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 6: It is across the street from the La Rams Football

1011
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 6: Stadium and at the Olympics in LA in four years,

1012
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 6: the Clippers Arena will be hosting Olympic basketball and the

1013
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 6: La Rams Stadium will be hosting Olympic swimming.

1014
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 4: They're going to be.

1015
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 6: Doing what the Colts did for the Olympic trials to

1016
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 6: pick the team this year, where the Indie indoor facility

1017
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 6: for football put a big black curtain down the fifty

1018
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 6: yard line and used half of the stadium for a

1019
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 6: very large crowd for swimming, building a false floor, creating

1020
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 6: a pool, filling up the pool, and then seating everybody

1021
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 6: in the football seats around it. Though it's gonna be something.

1022
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 6: In fact, the LA Olympic Committee says this is going

1023
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 6: to be the first Olympics ever where there's literally no

1024
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 6: new permanent construction. They have all the facilities ready and

1025
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,959
Speaker 6: then something like this a temporary thing will be put

1026
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 6: in the permanent RAMS facility. As for the other Olympic news,

1027
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 6: we had mentioned last hour that the comeback for US

1028
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 6: men's basketball against Serbia on Thursday second half of that

1029
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 6: drew thirteen and a half million TV viewers. In the

1030
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 6: last five years of the NBA Finals, largest viewership is

1031
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 6: twelve and a half million for a series. That was

1032
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 6: when Golden State beat Boston in twenty twenty two. The

1033
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 6: clincher of that series got fourteen million viewers. Yesterday was

1034
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 6: nineteen and a half million viewers for the USA men

1035
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 6: beating France in the final. In other words, it's the

1036
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 6: largest basketball TV audience in this country in five years

1037
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 6: pre COVID, you'd have to go to a March Madness

1038
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 6: National Championship that went overtime when Virginia beat Texas Tech.

1039
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 6: It's the largest audience for a gold medal final since

1040
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 6: Atlanta hosted the Olympics in nineteen ninety six. This is

1041
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 6: even a larger audience than the women's final this year,

1042
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 6: where South Carolina played Iowa and it was on two channels.

1043
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 6: That was just under nineteen million yesterday Olympic basketball nineteen

1044
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 6: and a half million, and I wasn't going to discuss

1045
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 6: the Olympic medal count. But in honor of Mark Willard,

1046
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 6: yes did have the most total medals. China was second. Yeah,

1047
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 6: US and China tied with forty gold medals. Let me

1048
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 6: put this in perspective. You have over two hundred countries

1049
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 6: competing at a summer Olympics, such as we had in

1050
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 6: France this summer, all but ten finished with less than

1051
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 6: twenty seven medals total. For the two weeks, the US

1052
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 6: had one hundred twenty seven medals total. Actually, technically it's

1053
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 6: won twenty six now because the Americans lost a bronze

1054
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 6: medal today when the IOC took back the gymnastics broude

1055
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 6: that Jordan Childs got in the floor final. They gave

1056
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 6: it to the Romanian who originally shot thought she finished third.

1057
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 6: US Olympic officials are appealing, but the last time the

1058
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 6: US did not have the most gold medals. Again, they

1059
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 6: tied for most gold with China this year, but remember

1060
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 6: China had hosted an Olympics and in Beijing two thousand

1061
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,919
Speaker 6: and eight, they easily had more gold than the Americans.

1062
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 6: But if you're going most overall medals, it's eight straights

1063
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 6: sum games. Now that the Americans had finished first on

1064
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 6: the list. When was the last time they did not

1065
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 6: top the medal count? It was when the Soviets were

1066
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 6: still competing. All these republics were together as one unified

1067
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 6: team in nineteen ninety two, And that, by the way,

1068
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 6: is the last time US women's basketball lost a game

1069
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 6: in the Olympics.

1070
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 4: I wonder why. I wonder why they broke that up

1071
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 4: to the Soviets. Anybody know nineteen ninety two? Anybody know

1072
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 4: why that they're republics now? Anybody know why they're not

1073
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 4: just under this the.

1074
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 6: Soviet freedom, independence, anything.

1075
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 3: A few reasons.

1076
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 6: I can just remember that. You remember when like nineteen

1077
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 6: eighty eight, Yes, our basketball team lost to the Soviets.

1078
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 6: Some of those great players were actually Lithuanian, but the

1079
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 6: Soviet Union owned all of those countries. Yes, when they

1080
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 6: broke apart and became independent, and Lithuania had its own

1081
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,799
Speaker 6: basketball team and got to play in a European tournament

1082
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 6: against the Russians, I remember the exact quote. But they

1083
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 6: killed the Russians and beat him by like forty five points.

1084
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 6: And one of the players for Lithuania said afterwards, I

1085
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 6: hope it was actually forty six points one for every

1086
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 6: year of oppression, like something like that.

1087
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:17,959
Speaker 3: Shut Hey, hey, h we're down.

1088
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 4: Thanks Steve, happy to help us.

1089
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 3: That's great.

1090
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 2: We expect in one hour to for you to make

1091
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 2: up something about live golf and money.

1092
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 3: And we look forward to that.

1093
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 4: We got side.

1094
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 3: I bet you do. You always do, Steve de Sega.

1095
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: Everybody all right, tie Rack dot Com Studios, Mark Willardy

1096
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 2: from Salaam. Look, we can continue this a little bit

1097
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 2: more next. We just got a couple of minutes here.

1098
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 2: But you know, we were talking about the Ceedee Lamb thing.

1099
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 2: Let me ask the question to you this way real

1100
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 2: quick and then we can talk some more about it.

1101
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 2: So Ceedee Lamb is not he's not a camp and

1102
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is not a camp. And Brandon Ayuk is

1103
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,759
Speaker 2: not at camp. And apparently if you look at Twitter

1104
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 2: only Brandon Ayuk is not at camp.

1105
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 3: Have you noticed this?

1106
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know I get it, I get it

1107
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 2: right that the trade rumors and it's a little bit

1108
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 2: more contentious. And Brandon has been like you know, skipping

1109
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 2: through the halls with Jadeen Daniels.

1110
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:27,719
Speaker 3: For the last two months.

1111
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 2: I understand all the stuff that's taking place, believe me,

1112
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 2: But does that strike you at all that Brandon Ayuk

1113
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 2: right now is an international incident and two receivers most

1114
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 2: people think are better are also not in camp.

1115
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,719
Speaker 3: One of them is loling his owner on Twitter.

1116
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 2: And I don't think you could combine the stories around

1117
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 2: those two and get half as much as we've seen

1118
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 2: about Brandon Ayuk. What's that about.

1119
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 4: Which receivers on the better team?

1120
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the Cowboys and Bengals are not slouches

1121
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

1122
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but who's the favorite to go to the Super Bowl?

1123
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 4: And when it all matters about like what is the

1124
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 4: ram because the reason we talk about it because then

1125
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 4: the next thing you say, okay, well what if they

1126
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 4: don't sign him, what if he doesn't show up? What

1127
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 4: are the ramifications?

1128
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 3: Right?

1129
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 4: No one expects Dallas to be representing the NFC in

1130
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 4: the in the Super Bowl, No one, except for delusion

1131
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 4: of Dallas Cowboy fans. Well, but that doesn't stop them

1132
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 4: any year. Every year is the Super Bowl year. So

1133
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 4: you throw that out the Bengals, right, Who thinks the

1134
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 4: Bengals are going to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl?

1135
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 3: Right?

1136
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 4: What are the San Francisco forty nine ers?

1137
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,799
Speaker 3: My friend, they're the number two favorite?

1138
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 4: All right? Who's the number one? The Chiefs, which is

1139
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 4: in the what.

1140
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 3: AFC?

1141
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 4: The Niners are in the what? So who would be

1142
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 4: the first favorite out of the NFC to represent?

1143
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 3: Well? Of course, so well. But but there's more to

1144
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 3: it than that.

1145
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 4: But what I'm telling you is you're asking me why.

1146
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 4: This is why we're talking about it, because people would

1147
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 4: ask the question, Okay, this team is the odds on

1148
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 4: favorite to be in the Super Bowl. Again, what if

1149
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 4: he holds out and doesn't play? How does that affect him?

1150
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 4: Which opens up different you know, compartments of conversation and thought.

1151
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 4: That's why we're talking about that. Nobody cares about what's

1152
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 4: going on in Dallas and we The only thing we

1153
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 4: cared about in Cincinnati is is Joe Burrow gonna be healthy?

1154
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 3: Okay? I feel you.

1155
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 2: However, I do see certain parts of that a little

1156
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 2: bit different. Remember I said we're going to talk about receivers,

1157
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 2: but we had to wait.

1158
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 4: Yes, well we could talk.

1159
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 3: Let's talk about some receivers. Let's talk about it. Okay,

1160
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 3: coming up next, Mark Ward Ephrom Salam. This is Fox

1161
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 3: Sports Radio.

1162
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 2: Okay, it's live in the tire Rack dot Com Studios

1163
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 2: on a Sunday night.

1164
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 3: Glad you're with us, Thank you, thank you.

1165
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 2: For spending some time with us. It's Mark Willard and

1166
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 2: Ephraim Salaam. Glad you're with us tonight. Just talking about

1167
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 2: all this receiver drama. I mean, look, he from I

1168
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 2: know this is not something you part take in. But

1169
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 2: today's August eleventh, And in fact, remember earlier today I

1170
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 2: told you I was out on a boat with kids

1171
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 2: and my girl and her kids, and we're all out

1172
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 2: there boating around in Lake Tahoe. And I got a text.

1173
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 2: I got a text from my sister. My sister's on

1174
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 2: her own family vacation in Boston. You want to know

1175
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: what she said to me. She texted me and said, Hi,

1176
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 2: I hope Tahoe is fun. We're in Boston and discussing fantasy.

1177
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: Can we pick a date please for the family draft?

1178
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 2: And then she asked something that should be offensive to

1179
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 2: you and I both. She said, does Sunday night, August

1180
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 2: twenty fifth work?

1181
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 3: What I was like, my gosh, come on, this woman

1182
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 3: is my sister. I mean, I don't need to.

1183
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 2: Am I available on Sunday night, August twenty fifty from?

1184
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 3: No, why am I not available?

1185
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 4: Because you'll be with America?

1186
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 2: Thank you. You could do a fantasy draft, I tell

1187
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 2: you what. You could also just tune in and learn

1188
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 2: about who you should pick. No, I'm not available. I

1189
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 2: have work to do on Sunday night, August twenty fifth.

1190
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 3: Thank you. Maybe we'll do it at eight o'clock. I

1191
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 3: don't know.

1192
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 2: But my point in bringing that up is, while you

1193
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 2: say nobody cares about Ceedee Lamb and Jamar Chase, why

1194
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 2: I know.

1195
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 3: Some people who care.

1196
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 2: If your fantasy draft is coming up in two or

1197
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 2: three weeks right now, if you've got Brandon Ayyuk as

1198
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 2: a keeper, you're sitting there going, I don't know what

1199
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 2: the hell I'm gonna do.

1200
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 3: Do I want this guy? Is he a Steeler this year?

1201
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 3: A Niner?

1202
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 2: Is he sitting out? We don't know what's going on,

1203
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,560
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb and Jamar Chase. CD's going as one of

1204
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 2: the top three or four picks in the entire draft.

1205
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 2: Nobody's blinking. And I guess that's my question. Why why

1206
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 2: does the Brandon thing? I get where you're coming from

1207
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 2: I think you have one of the points. One of

1208
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,639
Speaker 2: the points is that the forty nine ers are they're

1209
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 2: kind of a show right now. They're a big deal,

1210
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 2: and so that's a big part of it. But I

1211
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 2: would argue that that C D and Jamar would be

1212
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 2: a big deal too, if anybody actually believed that whatever's

1213
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 2: going on is going to leak into the season. But

1214
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 2: nobody believes that with those two, and everybody believes it

1215
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 2: with Brandon.

1216
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 3: I.

1217
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 4: I get your point, and it's it's it. You make

1218
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 4: a good point there in terms of the fantasy football

1219
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 4: connection and so on and so forth. I don't think

1220
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 4: Brandon I is going to miss any game this season.

1221
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:48,560
Speaker 3: Neither do I.

1222
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 4: I don't think CD Lamb will, and I don't think

1223
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase will. And there could be a myriad of

1224
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:06,440
Speaker 4: reasons why they don't, namely, the previous two get contracts,

1225
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,719
Speaker 4: the last two get contracts. I don't think Brandon Nyuka

1226
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 4: is going to get the contract he wants to be

1227
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 4: a forty nine er, But what I would say to

1228
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 4: him is, Okay, is it about putting up good numbers

1229
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 4: and winning or is it about getting as much money

1230
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 4: you can in this window? Right? Now, because you can

1231
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 4: make twenty one million dollars a year, stay at the

1232
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine Ers and continue to find yourself

1233
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 4: in meaningful playoff games, possible to super Bowl, or you

1234
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 4: can go to the Steelers and make twenty eight million

1235
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 4: dollars a year and be done the first week of January.

1236
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 4: Ask Davante Adams what it feels like to be on

1237
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 4: the top of the world and then irrelevant in a year.

1238
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 4: So you have to weigh out the money thing. Is

1239
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 4: the money thing right for seven more million dollars a year,

1240
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 4: I'm willing to just go out there and play with

1241
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 4: no extra you know, no postseason, no any of that.

1242
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 4: If that's the case, then by all means hold out

1243
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 4: and stay and and and do that.

1244
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1245
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, by the way, way you're putting out

1246
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 2: a number that I mean, the reported number is the

1247
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 2: Niners are offering twenty six.

1248
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 4: Okay, Now, if you don't want to take twenty six

1249
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 4: to stay with a championship team, you get what you get.

1250
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,719
Speaker 4: You get what you get whoever's in your ear, whoever's

1251
01:19:53,760 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 4: talking to you and giving you, Hey, manny.

1252
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 2: I mean you know you know you're not given the

1253
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 2: normal players perspective right.

1254
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 4: Now, I know that. Well, it's bigger than that. The

1255
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 4: grasses and greener brother asked Avante, did you watch did

1256
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 4: you watch receivers?

1257
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 3: I watched at all. I watched it all.

1258
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 4: If that's not a tall tail cautionary sign, then I

1259
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 4: don't know what is.

1260
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what this fascinating.

1261
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 2: Let's get into this a little bit more, because you

1262
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 2: don't hear most players say what you just said, and

1263
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 2: the receiver doc did lead to some things.

1264
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 3: More on that coming up next. It's not he said,

1265
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 3: she said, it's he said. They said, which side do

1266
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 3: you choose?

1267
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,639
Speaker 2: A from a few minutes ago, sort of putting out

1268
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 2: something that I don't hear from a lot of NFL

1269
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 2: player types.

1270
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 3: So more to discuss.

1271
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the tire rack dot com studios.

1272
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: Tyrack dot com will help you get there, and I'm

1273
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 2: that selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and

1274
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 2: over ten thousand recommended installers tyrack dot com.

1275
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 3: The way tired by should be.

1276
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 2: If you're out and about wherever you are in the nation,

1277
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 2: and maybe you don't know exactly how this has all

1278
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 2: come to pass, here is as short of a version

1279
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 2: as I can sort of share with you, Brandon Aiyuk

1280
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 2: is heading into a fifty year option for fourteen point

1281
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 2: one million dollars. He wants an extension. His play suggests

1282
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 2: that he deserves an extension. The forty nine ers and

1283
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 2: all teams, good teams like to take care of their

1284
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 2: homegrown players who play very well. That's a normal thing,

1285
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 2: and you certainly don't want to be dealing with this

1286
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 2: kind of discord, trade rumors and whatnot.

1287
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 3: In August.

1288
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 2: There is a game four weeks from today, so that's

1289
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 2: sort of the basics of where Brandon stands. Brandon, I

1290
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 2: think liked the twenty six million dollar per year offer

1291
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 2: early in the offseason, but then the price went up

1292
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 2: because a lot of wide receiver deals started coming in.

1293
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 2: I'm on Ross, Saint Brown and Waddle, Justin Jefferson, etc.

1294
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: So the price went up. The Niners said, no, the

1295
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 2: price stays the same. Brandon has found other teams that

1296
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 2: are willing to give him more. However, he's not a

1297
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 2: free agent. The reports suggest the Niners stay at twenty six.

1298
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 2: Brandon wants at least twenty eight. What you just said

1299
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 2: was interesting, Ephraim, because when those numbers go public. Most

1300
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 2: NFL fans, I think, will say, well, come on, Niners,

1301
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 2: is two million bucks, what's the big deal, which I

1302
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 2: think is short sighted and not understanding how it all

1303
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 2: really works.

1304
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 3: But I also understand it. Now.

1305
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 2: Your point about Brandon well taken as well, which is

1306
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 2: to say, Brandon, it's two million bucks.

1307
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 3: And you're in a really, really good situation.

1308
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,639
Speaker 2: The only thing I know, Ephraim both sides have miscalculated here,

1309
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 2: and both sides are really really gonna regret it if

1310
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 2: they break out.

1311
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 4: I agree. I agree with that. We always hear, I mean,

1312
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 4: team friendly deals are if you want to keep a

1313
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 4: team together, or if you want to do this and

1314
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 4: do that and be successful, then you should be on

1315
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 4: a team friendly deal, take up a little less money.

1316
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 4: But we only hear that about quarterbacks. We don't hear

1317
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 4: that about any other position. Nobody is planting their flag

1318
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 4: or giving their hot take on any other position taking

1319
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 4: less money. Tom Brady historically took less than market value.

1320
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 4: Tom Brady is in the historically is in the history

1321
01:23:54,920 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 4: books for the most Super Bowls, So why wouldn't In

1322
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 4: terms of the situation Brandon Nyuk is in. Where could

1323
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:15,600
Speaker 4: he go to maximize his exposure, his ability and his

1324
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 4: value outside of San Francisco, ar Kansas City. Where could

1325
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:27,759
Speaker 4: he go Nowhere?

1326
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 3: That's my answer.

1327
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. And so as a player, if you're

1328
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 4: worried about the two million extra per year that you

1329
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 4: can make, then you're not looking at the big picture.

1330
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 4: You have the ability to make that off the field.

1331
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 4: What the success your team is having on the field.

1332
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 4: Like you, if you got your you're if you got

1333
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 4: your machine running on all cylinders, that same machine isn't

1334
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 4: going to produce in Carolina, in Pittsburgh, in Jacksonville, in Cleveland. Right,

1335
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 4: It's it's not going to turn out that same dividend.

1336
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 4: You're on a team that all the eyes are on,

1337
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 4: the expectations are through the roof. One of the best

1338
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 4: coaching staffs in the league, one of the best young

1339
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the league, the best running back in the league,

1340
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 4: the best tight end in the league. What are we

1341
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 4: talking about? So if you can only see the two

1342
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 4: million and the slight oh y'all playing me, then go ahead, man,

1343
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 4: uh going to Green Bay, going to Cleveland, going to

1344
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 4: do all of that. If you can ask Davante Adams

1345
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 4: if he could rewind time now his situation was a

1346
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 4: little bit different because he got an opportunity. What he

1347
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 4: thought he was going to do was play with his

1348
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 4: college quarterback. Well that didn't that didn't happen, right that

1349
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 4: that dream and fantasy is over, and now he finds

1350
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 4: himself in a hellish nightmare. His own words, that's what

1351
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:34,599
Speaker 4: it looks like. I got to get out of here

1352
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 4: before they killed me life. I love my life, his

1353
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 4: own words.

1354
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 3: Yep.

1355
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 4: So got all the money in the world, got a

1356
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 4: nice house, got the elevators and all the stuff you want.

1357
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 4: The dinosaur party dying slowly inside every day.

1358
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 3: Yep. Career wise, yeah.

1359
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 4: So I ask you that two million dollars you feel

1360
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 4: disrespected about a year? Is it worth it? Is it

1361
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 4: worth everything that comes with being in a place where

1362
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 4: no one cares?

1363
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 2: Of course not, of course not and questions at quarterback

1364
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 2: and all that?

1365
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 3: And is it disingenuous? By the way, I think it is.

1366
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 2: If you're Brandon and you go this is where he

1367
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 2: sort of both sides I think have made just crazy mistakes.

1368
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 2: Brandon's for me is follow the timeline. You sit down

1369
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,759
Speaker 2: with the Niners and you say I want this much money,

1370
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 2: and the Niners say no, we want to give you

1371
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 2: this much money, and you don't agree, and you fight,

1372
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 2: and so then you finally say, fine, then trade me.

1373
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 3: And then the forty nine ers say.

1374
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 2: Okay, we found a trade, and Brandon goes, well, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1375
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 2: not there.

1376
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 3: That's when you lose me.

1377
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:00,879
Speaker 2: Because what I've never understood about this from the beginning

1378
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 2: is why anybody is even acknowledging Brandon's trade request.

1379
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:14,599
Speaker 3: I don't even understand it, certainly not in August.

1380
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 2: That tells me that the forty nine ers miscalculated, miscommunicated,

1381
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 2: whatever you want to say, because there's no way that

1382
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 2: a good team wants to trade one of its good

1383
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 2: players in August.

1384
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 3: That's not how you operate. So either they are just

1385
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 3: fed up with.

1386
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk or something blew up in their face as

1387
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 2: if to say, we think you're worth twenty six, and

1388
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 2: he says I'm worth more, and they went, fine, go

1389
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:50,799
Speaker 2: talk to all the other teams.

1390
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 3: You'll see you're worth twenty six. And then there were

1391
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 3: a bunch of.

1392
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 2: Stupid teams that were like thirty two, and he came

1393
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 2: back and went see and then they went, fine, we'll

1394
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:03,639
Speaker 2: send you to one.

1395
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 3: And he went no, I don't want to go.

1396
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 2: Do you see how both of these sides have it's

1397
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:12,879
Speaker 2: both of them have been inept.

1398
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 4: Way that both of.

1399
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:20,839
Speaker 2: Them have been totally inept in their process. And anyone

1400
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:25,719
Speaker 2: still believing that Brandon his latest quoted social media threat,

1401
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 2: no way in hell I'm playing on my fifty year option, well,

1402
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 2: then the Niners would have every power to be like, cool,

1403
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 2: go ahead and ruin your career.

1404
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,839
Speaker 3: Then what do you think happens?

1405
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 2: If you get to week one, there's no trade, there's

1406
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 2: no taker, there's no.

1407
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 3: Contract, and Brandon goes I'm sitting.

1408
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 4: Oh god, I can tell you what happens.

1409
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose almost a million bucks a game number

1410
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 2: one and number two. All those teams that want you

1411
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 2: now I'm not gonna want you next year.

1412
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,800
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like, that's the dude that doesn't play.

1413
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 4: What happens is and what he's not realizing, And maybe

1414
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,879
Speaker 4: he is, Maybe he's you know, I'm standing on business

1415
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 4: because they like to say, I'm gonna ask you a

1416
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 4: question and this will tell you everything you need to know.

1417
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 4: If Brandon Nyuk doesn't play, are the forty nine ers

1418
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 4: still a Super Bowl contender?

1419
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 3: Are the forty nine of course.

1420
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 4: Okay, now I'm gonna ask you this, who needs who more?

1421
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 4: Brandon Nyuk needs the forty nine ers or the forty

1422
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:50,440
Speaker 4: nine ers need Well you did? You basically answered that because.

1423
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: I would argue that Brandon needs the forty nine ers

1424
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,759
Speaker 2: more than that more him. But but I would argue

1425
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 2: that both both are obviously much better with one another.

1426
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 4: Of course, yes, but yes, I can bet you that

1427
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers will still have ultimate success without

1428
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 4: Brandon Ayuk. Brandon Ayuk won't because he will be hemorrhaging money.

1429
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 4: Every week he misses money he may never recoup. Right

1430
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 4: that fourteen million dollars is going a million dollars a game,

1431
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 4: so you can end up owing money. It's seventeen games,

1432
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 4: you're only making fourteen million. You do the math. So

1433
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 4: not only do you put yourself in a hole, you

1434
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 4: have now set out a year of football. Teams have

1435
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 4: done whatever they've done. Younger players have developed that once

1436
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 4: berniinge need is now not so much a burning need.

1437
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 4: Got a lot of young rookie receivers in the league

1438
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 4: this year's second year guys looking to make jumps, So

1439
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 4: the market is going to get even more diluted and clouded. Oh,

1440
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 4: by the way, receivers coming into the draft next year,

1441
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 4: like it's not going to transpire the way you think

1442
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 4: it's going to. You're going to find yourself in a

1443
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 4: situation where you look at your reps or whoever's advising

1444
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 4: you and be like, well, why didn't you tell me

1445
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 4: this what happened? So if they're not going to tell him,

1446
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:34,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell him, Brandon, go to camp, get your money.

1447
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 4: You're going to get paid. Don't give money back. Don't

1448
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:45,720
Speaker 4: give money back. Ask Le'Veon bell if he would have

1449
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 4: done something different. You want to talk about a tremendous

1450
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,600
Speaker 4: career that hit a brick wall yep, and could not

1451
01:32:54,760 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 4: push through. This is what happens when one thinks more

1452
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,480
Speaker 4: of themselves than everybody else on the planet.

1453
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 3: Well, I just what I think gets underrated.

1454
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 2: It is such a good point you just made, because

1455
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 2: what I think gets underrated is good situations. And what

1456
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 2: happens is we have to decide who's driving who in

1457
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 2: the good situation?

1458
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 3: Right, Rock Pardy, Oh, well, Brock Perdy.

1459
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 2: That's because of Shanahan, and then that's because of Christian

1460
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 2: McCaffery and because it's because it's Trent Williams, because it's

1461
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel, because of Brandon Nyuk. And then we're starting

1462
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,800
Speaker 2: to do it now it's Brandon Ayuk. Was that's because

1463
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 2: of forty nine ers. No, forty nine ers, because of

1464
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 2: Brandon Nyuk. We did this with Brady and Belichick. Well

1465
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:42,639
Speaker 2: it's Brady, Well he's got Belichick. Then Brady went off

1466
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:44,679
Speaker 2: to the Buccaneers won a super Bowl, kind of ended

1467
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 2: that argument, and the Patriots are now totally in the duldrums.

1468
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 2: My point is not to say that there is a

1469
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 2: right or wrong answer with those arguments.

1470
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 3: Ever.

1471
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 2: My point is just stick with your good situation when

1472
01:33:58,080 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 2: you have it.

1473
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 4: Man, they hard to come I don't care.

1474
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 3: Who's driving the bus. They are hard to come by. Right.

1475
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 2: If your Brock, yes, I want to be a forty

1476
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 2: nine er, And if you're Kyle, yeah, how about we

1477
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 2: keep all the good players?

1478
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 3: That good idea seems to be working. But boy, ego

1479
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 3: just takes the bleepover, doesn't it?

1480
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 4: In life? In life, in life, literally seriously.

1481
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to ask you this. If you haven't

1482
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:36,799
Speaker 2: named your starting quarterback yet on August eleventh, it means blank,

1483

1514
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 2: word is is that it'll be after that second preseason

1515
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 2: game that Antonio Pierce, the head coach of the Las

1516
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders, is going to announce big announcement. There'll be

1517
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 2: a press conference, they'll be a podium, they'll be a microphone,

1518
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 2: and he will announce if if Aid and O'Connell or

1519
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:35,600
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew goes toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes and

1520
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert in the AFC West this year. And I

1521
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,479
Speaker 2: just of all the mysteries of the offseason, the head

1522
01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 2: scratchers that we've talked about tonight, Dallas Cowboys didn't do anything,

1523
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 2: don't seem to be aware that there's a game coming.

1524
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers having trade conversations about one of their

1525
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 2: best players four weeks before the season starts. Weird stuff

1526
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:04,720
Speaker 2: going on. Add this one, Why the hell did the

1527
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 2: Raiders not do more at the quarterback.

1528
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:07,799
Speaker 3: Position in the off season.

1529
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 4: Now that's a head cratcher.

1530
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 2: I like, maybe the move just wasn't there. I understand that,

1531
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 2: but like I apologies to these guys, Like, if you're

1532
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 2: announcing one of these guys as the starter next week, yawn.

1533
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 4: So I would harken back to as deep as this

1534
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 4: quarterbacks draft was, which was pretty deep. You would have

1535
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 4: had to be able to and maybe they did, and

1536
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 4: maybe there were no takers. See though, that's this type

1537
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 4: of stuff. We won't ever know.

1538
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:51,679
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, sure, sure, that's fair.

1539
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 4: That they were trying to move up and get a

1540
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 4: guy that can. So I can't say, oh, they're not

1541
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:04,120
Speaker 4: doing anything. Are they there standing pat on their decision

1542
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 4: to do Now, If that is the case, I'll address both.

1543
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 4: If that's the case, then they've grossly miss read the

1544
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 4: situation in terms of the talent pool, the division they're in,

1545
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:22,680
Speaker 4: and their ability to possibly make the playoffs without a

1546
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 4: signal caller. Now, if they tried and there were no takers,

1547
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 4: then they just find themselves in a situation where, Okay,

1548
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 4: we gotta piece this thing together, hope for the best,

1549
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 4: because we have a plan moving forward right now. Hopefully

1550
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 4: it's the latter, because if it's the former, then you

1551
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:50,639
Speaker 4: guys have completely dropped the ball, completely dropped the ball

1552
01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 4: if you don't have a quarterback and you're waiting to

1553
01:38:56,360 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 4: decide between Gardner Minshew and who is it? Katan O'Connell,

1554
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 4: who is it?

1555
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, O'Connell, Who ain't o'conna who?

1556
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 4: You know you don't have a quarterback? Yeah, he don't

1557
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:14,759
Speaker 4: have the second year correct, And I know Antonio Piers

1558
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 4: got him going and they won games down the stretch.

1559
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 4: But in the grand scheme of things, not having any

1560
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 4: quarterback in the division, there's ripe with quarterbacks. I don't

1561
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 4: see how just grit huh, just grit alone is not

1562
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 4: going to propel you to the playoffs.

1563
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,000
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned the guy a couple of times here

1564
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 2: just about twenty minutes ago. How do you think Devanta

1565
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 2: Adams is feeling. Oh my god, now he hadn't said

1566
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:52,080
Speaker 2: a word.

1567
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 4: He should be sitting out of camp.

1568
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 2: Well, it was fascinating to watch that receiver doc because

1569
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 2: it really kind of it's summarized all the things that

1570
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 2: DeVante was willing to say in front of a microphone

1571
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 2: last year, you know, being miked up on the field.

1572
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 2: We ended up hearing some things that we didn't know

1573
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 2: which and you could see the frustration he was feeling

1574
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Garoppolo. And it was with a Netflix only

1575
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 2: interview where when they asked him about Aiden O'Connell at

1576
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 2: one point, they go, were you okay with that move?

1577
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 3: And he goes, I green lit that move. I was like, uh,

1578
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:33,240
Speaker 3: uh okay, So.

1579
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 2: You know, maybe he's got some good feeling around Aidan O'Connell.

1580
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Gardner Minshew's not a horrible quarterback, But

1581
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 2: with everything that that guy was willing to say three

1582
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 2: games into the season talking about I have no time

1583
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 2: to wait around, my clock is ticking. I am fiercely

1584
01:40:55,400 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 2: about winning. And you sit there with the thirteenth pick

1585
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 2: in the draft, five quarterbacks from going the top twelve

1586
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 2: and you're picking thirteenth. Now, maybe that, like you said,

1587
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 2: maybe that was bad luck. Maybe they didn't think that

1588
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 2: the Broncos were going to take bo Nicks. Maybe they

1589
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 2: tried to move up a pick and a division mate

1590
01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 2: would not even think about doing it. Did you call

1591
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 2: the Jets and try to jump Denver? I thought Pennix

1592
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 2: would have looked great in Vegas. Maybe they were like

1593
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 2: the rest of us, didn't think there was any way

1594
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 2: that Atlanta would do that, Like maybe that's what that

1595
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 2: might be what happened, But there was no pivot.

1596
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 3: There was no pivot.

1597
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 4: No, you you know, it's tough because I'm sure they've

1598
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 4: had conversations with Devonte Adams and I'm sure extensively they

1599
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 4: talked about the quarterbacks room and upcoming expectations and where

1600
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 4: they really see themselves at that position moving forward. And

1601
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 4: it couldn't have been we're gonna make it work. It

1602
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 4: couldn't have been I think we got a chance. Like

1603
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm confused with if everybody else can make moves,

1604
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 4: you can't.

1605
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 3: Now.

1606
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 4: I know, you're paying coaches a lot of money that

1607
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 4: aren't there correct a lot of money. They getting checks

1608
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 4: every month and they have no affiliation to the program anymore.

1609
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 4: I get it. But that doesn't go against the salary cap.

1610
01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 4: So I mean, you gotta bundle up something. Then you

1611
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 4: gotta do something well out of quarterback in this league.

1612
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 4: Then you're just playing games. You're just playing games. Now,

1613
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 4: maybe you can try to do the Our defense is

1614
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 4: better than everybody else. We're going to win games on

1615
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball. Well, good luck with that.

1616
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 7: Good luck, good luck with that, especially since they were

1617
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 7: not that great of a defense last year. So yeah,

1618
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,920
Speaker 7: a football team without a quarterback in August would be

1619
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 7: like it'd be like you and me without Steve Disager.

1620
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:37,919
Speaker 3: I would argue facts.

1621
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 4: Don't you think big facts?

1622
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 3: Hi? Steve?

1623
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 6: Good evening, gentlemen. Hey Steve, let's continue talking. NFL shall

1624
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:48,120

1625
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 6: City after last night's injury, landed awkwardly on his shoulder.

1626
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,680
Speaker 6: Brown's quarterback Deshaun Watson will get the majority of the

1627
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 6: reps in this week's joint practices with the Vikings, but

1628
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 6: he will not play on Saturday's game. Giants quarterback Drew Locke,

1629
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 6: with a sore hip, will miss a few practices this week. Steelers'

1630
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 6: first round tackle Troy Feutana will miss at least next

1631
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 6: weekend's game with a spray knee. Jacksonville signed safety to

1632
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 6: Sean Gibson, who will start the season with a six

1633
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 6: game suspension for a performance enhancer. Next Sunday night on

1634
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 6: Fox TV, San Francisco hosts New Orleans. The two teams

1635
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 6: will not hold joint practices this week. Because the forty

1636
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:27,000
Speaker 6: nine ers are low on players. Preseason Week two will

1637

1638
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 6: games this Friday. Most teams will play this Saturday. There

1639
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 6: were two NFL exhibitions today. In la the Rams edge

1640
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 6: Dallas thirteen to twelve on a late touchdown pass by

1641
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 6: Stetson Bennett, who had thrown four interceptions. The only TV

1642
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 6: of the game came with four seconds left. Cowboys quarterback

1643
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 6: Trey Lance had six carries forty four yards through the air,

1644
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 6: twenty five of forty one for just one hundred and

1645
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 6: eighty eight yards. Denver one in Indianapolis thirty four to

1646
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 6: thirty Rookie quarterback Bo Nicks in five drives led the

1647
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:02,840
Speaker 6: Broncos to f four scores. There were thirteen total penalties

1648
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:07,000
Speaker 6: in this exhibition and a total of five turnovers. US

1649
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 6: women's basketball won the Olympic Final sixty seven sixty six

1650
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 6: against France in Paris. The Americans trailed by ten points

1651
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 6: in the third quarter. It was thirty five to twenty

1652
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 6: five at the time, but in about the last five

1653
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:21,679
Speaker 6: minutes of the game, the US at the foul line

1654
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 6: went thirteen of fourteen. France's last second shot did bank in,

1655
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 6: but the shooter's foot was clearly on the three point line,

1656
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 6: so France loses by one at home for the US

1657
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,880
Speaker 6: their eighth straight gold medal. The US women have not

1658

Speaker 6: Yankees in the AL East. Baltimore lost two to one

1679
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,120

01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 6: walked three in the bottom of the eighth in gave

1681

Speaker 6: this event gets one point four million dollars. He in

1697
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:46,720
Speaker 6: second place eight hundred and sixty one thousand, a very

1698
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:50,719
Speaker 6: nice check, but it also means the last five holes

1699
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 6: cost him over five hundred thousand dollars. But if you're

1700
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:58,680
Speaker 6: interested in checks, Live Golf returns next weekend at the

1701
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:02,639
Speaker 6: Air Right the Greenbrier in West Virginia will host Back

1702
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 6: to You.

1703
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's going to be that's going to

1704
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 2: be very exciting. The ouch is right, I mean, that's

1705
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:16,080
Speaker 2: one thing. It's funny too. Maybe like I quadru yes

1706
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 2: you can, Yes you can, and uh and I will

1707
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 2: quadruple bole tomorrow. But I like, maybe there's some overlap

1708
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:27,759
Speaker 2: here with the Brandon Ayuk thing that we're talking about.

1709
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes say, oh, we lost a half million dollars, but

1710
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 2: he's still made a ton of money.

1711
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 3: But at no level of wealth does that not still

1712
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 3: hurt a little bit? Right?

1713
01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 4: It hurts, It hurts, It keeps you up at night.

1714
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:46,559
Speaker 2: No, there's Brandon Ayuk. Stop stop telling me to take

1715
01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 2: two million less.

1716
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 4: Hey man, I mean all the glitter isn't gold and

1717
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 4: all gold is in reality.

1718
01:48:55,800 --> 01:49:01,680
Speaker 2: Well, I just can't figure that one out. When I

1719
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 2: look at stories in sports and I see things that

1720
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 2: happen that sometimes surprise us, or they anger us, or

1721
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 2: we say.

1722
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:11,519
Speaker 3: Boy, I wouldn't have done it that way.

1723
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 2: Usually we can look at it and go But I

1724
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 2: see where so and so was coming from.

1725
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:22,200
Speaker 4: You know this.

1726
01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 2: I live in the Bay. We talk about this every day.

1727
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:30,920
Speaker 2: I have studied it. I've listened to every word. I've

1728
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 2: looked at the numbers, I've read the team's side. I've

1729
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 2: talked to Brandon Aiyuk's personal coach, our colleague TJ. Huschman

1730
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 2: Zada comes on all the time. I've listened to all sides. Aphraim,

1731
01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 2: this makes no sense. No, it makes no sense for

1732
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 2: either side to be flirting with what they're supposedly flirting with.

1733
01:49:57,479 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 3: No sense.

1734
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:07,400
Speaker 4: Gee, oh, that's it. Both sides, three letters, one word,

1735
01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 4: both sides, right ego, yes, of course, yeah, both sides.

1736
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 4: Of course, that's what happens. That's what happens when people

1737
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:28,080
Speaker 4: around you tell you just how good you are, how

1738
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:34,679
Speaker 4: important you are, what you deserve. Sometimes you can't see

1739
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 4: the big picture right if you're happy at a place,

1740
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 4: if you're comfortable, if you're winning, because football is difficult

1741
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 4: to do without winning. It sucks. I don't care how

1742
01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 4: much money you're making. It is not fun. It is

1743
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:03,960
Speaker 4: way too hard. It is way too hard, and can't

1744
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 4: do it without winning. Oh gosh, I've been on both

1745
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 4: ends of the spectrum. I've won a lot, and then

1746
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 4: I've been where we've lost, and it is miserable. So

1747
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 4: if you can find a place that makes you happy,

1748
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 4: that you can see winning and you're projected to be winners.

1749
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 4: You got a young quarterback who's going to be there

1750
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 4: for the next ten years possibly, you got a young

1751
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:34,639
Speaker 4: head coach who can be there for the next twenty

1752
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:45,360
Speaker 4: years possibly, and you want to get out of the situation. Wow,

1753
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 4: life makes no sense. It's your ego that big to

1754
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,480
Speaker 4: where you're looking at what other receivers in different situations

1755
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:03,880
Speaker 4: than you are in mind, you are getting more, so

1756
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 4: you're willing to throw it all away because I don't know,

1757
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:14,799
Speaker 4: you feel disrespected, or you feel like you are old something,

1758
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 4: or look I like Brandon Nyuk. He's a good receiver.

1759
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 4: He's not in my top five, no, but he's a

1760
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 4: good receiver. I think the forty nine ers could be

1761
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 4: just successful without them. Matter of fact, not saying they

1762
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:37,960
Speaker 4: have what Kansas City had, but all Patrick Mahomes has

1763
01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 4: done without Tyreek Hill was win two Super Bowls in

1764
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 4: an MVP. Yep, So you gotta check it. You're not

1765
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:48,759
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill just f YI.

1766
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:49,800
Speaker 3: No, you're not.

1767
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 4: You're not that. And if they can continue to win

1768
01:52:54,760 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 4: without him, then why do you think you are that

1769
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 4: important to the team to where they won't be able

1770
01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:10,200
Speaker 4: to win and have success without you? Why are you

1771
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,960
Speaker 4: willing to give up on that? And you can make

1772
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 4: money teams can You can go any You can go

1773
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 4: to other places. Somebody's gonna pay you, but at what costs?

1774
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1775
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,640
Speaker 2: Well, and don't answer this yet because I'd love to

1778
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:29,439

1788
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,280
Speaker 2: from Salab How would you answer that? And can you

1789
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 2: tell like we've been talking all about these receivers City Lamb,

1790
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:25,240
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase Brandon Ayuk and and you're passionate about the

1791
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 2: Ayuk situation. It sounds like you want to give him advice.

1792
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:36,000
Speaker 2: Is the agent doing a bad job. His agent's name

1793
01:54:36,040 --> 01:54:39,960
Speaker 2: is Ryan Williams. Yeah, I think is he doing a

1794
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 2: bad job or is he not listening to his agent?

1795
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:43,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what his agent's selling him.

1796
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:46,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I can't speak on if his agent

1797
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:49,120
Speaker 4: is doing a bad job or not, because, like you said,

1798
01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:52,520
Speaker 4: I don't know what the conversation he's having with his agent,

1799
01:54:52,560 --> 01:54:56,000
Speaker 4: what they're talking about. If he's advising him, Hey, look,

1800
01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:59,760
Speaker 4: this thing is gonna get worked out, and he's just like, no,

1801
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 4: I want it worked out now, and I want it

1802
01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 4: worked out my way. And if that doesn't happen, you

1803
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:11,879
Speaker 4: know the agents, Most agents have that level of rapport

1804
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:17,240
Speaker 4: with their clients. I mean, has his agent gotten him

1805
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 4: a deal. Yet, no, he was on a rookie deal.

1806
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 4: You're slotted. You get what you get. This is the

1807
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 4: first big test of just what my agent's gonna do.

1808
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 4: And in that the agent may be pushing. You know,

1809
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 4: I want to get my client what he wants. If

1810
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 4: he this is what he's asking for, then that's what

1811
01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:47,879
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get him. I see that happening. It happens

1812
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 4: where on the first real big contract for a client

1813
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 4: an agent, Well, I'm gonna get you what you asked for,

1814
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 4: opposed to Hey, let's look at it like this, right,

1815
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 4: let's look at it like this, because his value won't

1816
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 4: be just hear me out. He plays fourteen million dollars,

1817
01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 4: they go to the Super Bowl, they win the Super Bowl,

1818
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 4: what do you think his market value will be?

1819
01:56:17,800 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 2: Oh god, I don't even know that. Like, I get

1820
01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:23,720
Speaker 2: what you're saying. I don't even know if they need

1821
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl. You get what I'm so

1822
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 2: if the offense kicks out another thirteen hundred yards for

1823
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:34,560
Speaker 2: Brandon Aiyuk and You've had this whole conversation about leverage,

1824
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:36,440
Speaker 2: and I've argued that he does not have nearly as

1825
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 2: much he'll.

1826
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 4: Have it all. He'll have it all, all of it.

1827
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 3: The Niners.

1828
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:44,960
Speaker 2: The only leverage the Niners would have would be the

1829
01:56:44,960 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 2: franchise tag.

1830
01:56:45,840 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 3: And they don't want to do that.

1831
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 4: They don't want to do that.

1832
01:56:47,880 --> 01:56:48,760
Speaker 3: They don't want to do that.

1833
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 4: And so it's a situation where it's like, like Dak Prescott, right,

1834
01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 4: he wants sixty plus million dollars, he's on the last

1835
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:03,360
Speaker 4: year of his deal. If they somehow miraculously end up

1836
01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:06,960
Speaker 4: in the NFC Championship game, he plays well the whole season,

1837
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:09,920
Speaker 4: everybody under the sun is who needs a quarterback? And

1838
01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:14,400
Speaker 4: give him whatever he wants. So you're betting on yourself.

1839
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:15,880
Speaker 4: How much is Dak making this year?

1840
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:16,760
Speaker 3: Right?

1841
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 4: Would you take what is he making? What? Forty million

1842
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 4: dollars whatever that number is.

1843
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 3: Yep?

1844
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:27,959
Speaker 4: Would you take forty million dollars to bet on yourself?

1845
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 3: Well?

1846
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:34,880
Speaker 4: Think about that. That that sounds crazy, right, hey? Would

1847
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 4: you take forty million dollars to bet on your abilities?

1848
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 4: Would you take fourteen million dollars to bet on your abilities?

1849
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:44,640
Speaker 3: Yep?

1850
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:47,680
Speaker 4: That As an agent, That's what I would say to him.

1851
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the additional issue, though, Like you say,

1852
01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:55,440
Speaker 2: would you take fourteen million and most human beings on

1853
01:57:55,520 --> 01:58:02,320
Speaker 2: planet Earth would obviously say yes. But that's also sort

1854
01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:04,880
Speaker 2: of acting like there's another option out there.

1855
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:08,880
Speaker 4: If Lamar Jackson can play on his fifth year option

1856
01:58:09,600 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 4: after winning the MVP, yep, you mean to tell me,

1857
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 4: Brandon and you can't play on your fifth year option. Well,

1858
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 4: as an agent, that's how I would be putting things

1859
01:58:22,640 --> 01:58:25,800
Speaker 4: in perspective. Oh and by the way, guess what, Lamar

1860
01:58:25,920 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 4: got what he wanted. Sure did so as an agent,

1861
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 4: I would be doing this opposed to saying you're right,

1862
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:37,280
Speaker 4: I got you. We're gonna yeah, we're gonna get it.

1863
01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna make it happen. I'd be like, hey man,

1864
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 4: this is when the rubber meets road. You've had a

1865
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 4: phenomenal four years. Let's cap it off and let's hit

1866
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 4: the market and get everything we could possibly want, whether

1867
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:55,040
Speaker 4: it be here or somewhere else. Sounds like a plan

1868
01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 4: that's not I would say, well.

1869
01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:03,040
Speaker 2: And to me, the whole issue and I guess this

1870
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:05,400
Speaker 2: is up to every human on the planet how you

1871
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,240
Speaker 2: want to look at it. You know, Dak Prescott, you

1872
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 2: mentioned the forty mili and that's a lot of money.

1873
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 2: But Dak may also look at it and go. There's

1874
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 2: thirteen quarterbacks in the NFL.

1875
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 4: Making more doesn't matter. That's the heart.

1876
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 2: I know it doesn't, but that's that's what Brandon's doing though.

1877
01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 3: That's what's doing and.

1878
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter because none of them are in the

1879
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:33,560
Speaker 4: position that you're in. That's where the value lies. If

1880
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 4: I'm his agent. That's the conversation I'm having.

1881
01:59:36,000 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, you don't think Justin.

1882
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,880
Speaker 4: Jefferson would want to be over here with you. You don't

1883
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 4: think Davante Adams will want to be on his team.

1884
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:46,640
Speaker 3: That's probably why they had to give Justin thirty five?

1885
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 4: What's the other what's give me another receiver name.

1886
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 3: DJ Moore?

1887
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 4: You don't think You don't think DJ Moore will cut

1888
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 4: his arm off to come play with the forty nine ers.

1889
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:01,480
Speaker 4: You are here, what are you talking about?

1890
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:05,840
Speaker 2: Well, not talking about anything anymore because we're done. But

1891
02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 2: we'll talk to you next week, my man, plank and

1892
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:10,240
