7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I gotta start the show. Uh,

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: plenty of NBA talk, Lebron the m v P, and

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: I started to look at the college football schedule, and

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: I said to Gavin, like, oh my gosh, what's going on?

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Have to schedule a wiped out? Goodness gracious, Luckily, we

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: have plenty of great NFL action to talk about. We'll

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: break down every single game on the show. We've got

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: a couple of great guests lined up. UM. I like

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: a few games this week. You guys know, I'm in

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: that one point four million dollar gamble contest in Vegas

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. I drove out there, signed up, and

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: then turned around and drove back four hours to Los Angeles. UM.

19
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: I actually had bet to UM Week one games. I

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: had the Browns like an idiot lost and then I

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: had the Washington Football Club cash and I went three,

22
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: one and one. Bengals pushed for me. Um, it was

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: a dumb move because I subbed out the Patriots at

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: the last moment for the Bengals, and I do have

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: some of that. I know, anybody who's been in these

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: expensive gambling contest knows it's tough to sub one out

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: at the end and then you miss. It caused me

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: half a point. Whatever. Um, I got three picks locked

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: in for this week. Still got to decide on the

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: final two. But let's start the show with what happened

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: in sports last night and the Lakers, as expected, blew

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: out to Denver Nuggets. It was a blood bath. Denver

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: plays no defense, Lakers had seventy at recess. Anthony Davis unstoppable.

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: He basically pull down Yokich's pants and just embarrassed him.

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Thirties seven and ten for Anthony Davis got whatever he wanted,

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: whenever he wanted. And Lakers, you know, they made their shots.

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: This is the first game one of the postseason. They won.

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: But my big takeaway, and I gotta back up a

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: couple of days here because it starts on Tuesday with

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: what the Denver Nuggets did shocking the world, taking down

41
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: the l A Clippers. And I gotta be honest, and

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys listen to my

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: daily podcast here on I Heart Straight, fire Thought iTunes

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: and Spotify as well, and I spent a good fifteen

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: minutes just lamb basting the fraudulent l A Clippers from

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: their load management, fraud of a superstar in Kawhi Leonard

47
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: to their joke of a head coach Doc Rivers. And listen,

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to, you know, keepe up

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: for Doc Rivers, really want a title what. He's a

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: nice guy. The media likes him. We have been consistent

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: that Doc Rivers is one of the most overrated coaches

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: in the NBA. He's now blown three three to one leads.

53
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: And this is what's even funnier. You'll see some of

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: these media guys, well, the first three one lead, he

55
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: had an eight seed and Tracy McGrady, and you know

56
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: they weren't expected to win that series. It doesn't matter.

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: You lad three one and you blew it. You know

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: what that says, You're not a good head coach. You

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: can't contain a lead, and folks, the Clippers lead at

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: halftime in games five, six, and seven. Each time they

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: got roasted in the second half. That's embarrassing, that's bad coaching.

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: Do something. He did nothing, And so I destroyed the Clippers,

63
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: and I instantly, you know, the day after, we're all

64
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: grave dancing. Ah jeez, Montrez Harrald, He's gone. Lou Williams

65
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: should have stayed out of the bubble with the hanging

66
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: with the Strippers and Magic City, all those jokes. And

67
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: I start to look at den for the Lakers. Excuse me,

68
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: and my first thought. I quickly look at the regulars

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: and matchups. Then I look at the on court current matchups,

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: look at some efficiency numbers. I first thought, Wednesday, there

71
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: is no way in heck the Nuggets are gonna win

72
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: this series. And Fox Sports has me do every round

73
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: with Cris Brussard and Rick Buker. They have us to

74
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: who's gonna win the series and in how many games?

75
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: And of course I've been crushing it as you'd expect.

76
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: I was the only one who had Boston in Miami

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: advancing in the East. And I start thinking about Denver Lakers.

78
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are we looking at? Five. Here can

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: they get to make it six? And just as I'm

80
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: doing that, the news comes down the NBA is gonna

81
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: announce the m v P today and I was like, oh,

82
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: within minutes, wod Adrian wooden Rowski's like, Janice is the

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: m v P. And I said, okay, that's edge is it?

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Lakers in four? Get out the brooms. Lakers are gonna

85
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: sweep them. And I submitted it to Fox Sports, and

86
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: you know the guy will do it over email, and

87
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: the guy sends act the eye emoji like the side

88
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: I emoji like oh spicy, and I mean, listen, folks,

89
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: We've seen this over and over again. Lebron takes these

90
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: things personally. Oh sorry, he is obviously ticked off. And

91
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: do we have the audio? Kevin Lebron last night was

92
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: asked about the m v P. Nothing really about the

93
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Nuggets and he was asked, Hey, Lebron, what are your

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on the m v P. And I'm not saying that, um,

95
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, the winner wasn't deserving of the m v P.

96
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: But that pissed me off. And I finished second a

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: lot in my in my career, either from a championship

98
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: and now four times as the m v P. Like

99
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: I said, I never I never came into this league

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: saying let me be m v P or be a champion.

101
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I've always I just want to get better and better

102
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: every single day. And those things that take care of herself.

103
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: There's some things that's just out of my hand and

104
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: some things you can't control. But they pissed me off.

105
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: What a great answer. Pure honesty and candor. That's what

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: we demand of our athletes. Treat us the way we

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: should be treated. Just give us the truth, don't sugarcoat it,

108
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: don't give these canned answers, give us the good stuff.

109
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: And that's what Lebron did last night. He delivered. Now

110
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: you may disagree with it, and that's fine, but for

111
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: him to admit, man, I was pissed. Also, that's good

112
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: that I can now say the word piste off, because

113
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: we don't say that in our house with the young kids.

114
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: You know, we don't say hate and piste off. And

115
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: Lebron is angry and he didn't necessarily take it out

116
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: on the offensive side on Denver. But I watched a

117
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: couple of times, and you had to watch closely, where

118
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: Lebron made a defensive rotation in such a fast manner.

119
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: He looks like a shark out there. He's so big.

120
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: And I was watching the game with a couple of

121
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: buddies and I said, you guys do real eyes like J. J.

122
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Watt is one of the biggest, most intimidating players in

123
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, he is a hulking defensive end. J. J.

124
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Watt of the Texans is I think he's six ft five, yes,

125
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: J J. Watt six. Lebron James would stand next to

126
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: him and tower over him. Lebron six eight and a

127
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: half six nine, about to sixty. Lebron would tower over J. J. Watt.

128
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't think people understand when you're watching Lebron out

129
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: there how large he is. He just I mean, he's

130
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: a freak. He consumed so much space when he's moving around.

131
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: And there were rotations where they thought they had Jamal

132
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Murray open and Lebron would just close that so quickly.

133
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: I just thought he was brilliant last night, only had fifteen,

134
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: twelve and six. But there is no matchup on the

135
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Nuggets for him. And that's one of the reasons I

136
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: like the Lakers to sweep the Nuggets. I don't think

137
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: it's a hot take. Jeremy Grant is a nice player.

138
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: I like him as a defender. He was capable against

139
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Kauai um. Paul Millsap is still having nightmares about what

140
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Lebron did him when he was on the box. I

141
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: mean it was ugly. You can look it up on

142
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: YouTube hawks where a sixty win team Lebron comes in

143
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: and sweeps them. They had four all stars, home court advantage,

144
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. So what are you gonna put Michael

145
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: Porter Jr. On Lebron? You with Gary Harris on Lebron?

146
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw what happened. Every time it's everybody

147
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: else has to rotate and the back door guys are cutting.

148
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: And Rondo was I mean, Rondo looked like the connect

149
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: for genius that he is. I would love to play Rondo,

150
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: by the way, and Connect four. I'm very good. Rondo

151
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: off the bench seven points, ninasis, two steels, and I

152
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: gotta say, listen, Dwight Howard for a guy who didn't

153
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: play at all against Houston except for garbage minutes, he

154
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: was awesome. I mean, Dwight Howard was everywhere you could

155
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: tell he wants to be a world champion. Dwight Howard

156
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: who had a crack at it in Orlando when he

157
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: took him there is now, you know, tugging on Lebron's

158
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: cape and saying, hey, yo, get me, get me that chip.

159
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: And the Lakers just are a nightmare matchup for the Nuggets.

160
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, if you look at Yoki's numbers

161
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: in the regular season, he did nothing against the Lakers.

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: And again last night, are you ready for this? He

163
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: only played twenty five minutes, which was great because if

164
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: you guys follow me on Instagram and all that stuff,

165
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: I posted my my player props and I went to

166
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: and oh I had the under on Yoki points barely hit.

167
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: But Yokich only had two assists and six rebounds. I

168
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: mean he was doubling up those, tripling up those against

169
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers, passing out of the high post the Lakers.

170
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: He's just not a good matchup. I'm telling you, it's

171
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a suite and I just want to quickly

172
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: hit home on the Lebron stuff. So yes, it is

173
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna you know, drive him too. I think win the

174
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: championship this year, and yes, I do believe he will

175
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: pass Michael Jordan's as the greatest player of all time

176
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: with another ring. It will not be a six, but

177
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This will be his third team. Each

178
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: team he goes to right to the top. That's pretty incredible, folks,

179
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: anywhere he go. Wos they win? Now, I know what

180
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: you're saying. I can already hear you. Oh we got

181
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. Okay, Oh we got Dwain Wade. Okay. Oh

182
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: you got Kyrie Irving. Okay, I get it. Nobody wins

183
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: unless they got a wingman. Everybody needs somebody. Nobody wins

184
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: by themselves. And yeah, Lebron's had good teammates, but he's

185
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: obviously because people want to play with him. Listen, Kawhi

186
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: Leonards just got Paul George. Everybody thought they were gonna

187
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: win the title, couldn't get out of freaking second round,

188
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: second round. So on the m v P voting, I

189
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: look at the ballots all I look at the tally. Now, Kevin,

190
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: this is what I hope comes out during this the show.

191
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: Who voted for Lebron, vers who voted honest? Eighties six

192
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: first place votes for honest Lebron only got fifteen. And

193
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: I know what you guys are saying. It's a regular

194
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: season award. I get it. I want you to think

195
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: for a second and listen to what it's called the

196
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: most valuable player, not the best, the most valuable. So

197
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: the question here, Gavin, this is the tough one. How

198
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: do you And I'll put you on the spot, Gavin,

199
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you I was coming to me with this.

200
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: How do you define valuable? Would that team have that

201
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: have the success they had without that player? I think

202
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: that's about as accurate as you can get. And we

203
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: saw the Lakers when Lebron was hurt last year. Now

204
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: they didn't have Anthony Davis. I got it. If you

205
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: know the history of Lebron James, anywhere he goes, they

206
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: are incredible and title contenders. As soon as Lebron leaves,

207
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: it's back to the basement. Kyrie Irving left Lebron, Lebron

208
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: still got to the finals. Kyrie Irvings becau that are

209
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: a top fifteen or twenty player in the league. Lebron, Yeah,

210
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: you have to go seven with Indiana, beat Victor Oladipo.

211
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Then he had to go seven with the the young

212
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: Celtics and he beat them. Janice has a pretty good team.

213
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: I still think there are a playoffs squad maybe six

214
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: seven eight. The East is so bad without Janice. You

215
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: take the Lakers and you remove Lebron. He is the system.

216
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: He is he drives everything. Yes, Anthony Davis is awesome. Yes,

217
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis had thirty seven last night. We've seen Anthony

218
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Davis in New Orleans. They got to the playoffs. They

219
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs. He's not a system guy. And this

220
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: is the other reason that I'm totally ready, and I've

221
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: been ready for a while to put Lebron over Jordan's

222
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: as the greatest of all time. And yeah, he was

223
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: my m VP vote. I was consistent. Fox has me

224
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: do these NBA videos, and they asked me about the

225
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: m v P in February. I said Lebron. Then they

226
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: asked me in May, in the middle of the pandemic.

227
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: We didn't even know if the NBA was coming back.

228
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: We thought it would. Jason News the MVP. Lebron, he

229
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: is the system. He goes there, everybody orbits around him,

230
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: and they win. You remove him, it all falls apart.

231
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's say Janice miss is the first four months of

232
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: next season, Okay, Chris Middleton blood, So they've still got

233
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: a capable team that can win them. They they're gonna

234
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: be above five, that's for sure. Okay, Janice left the

235
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: game against the heat and they won the game. Like

236
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: they can win games. They've got a good team. They

237
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: have a really strong squad. I I just I don't

238
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: think there's any way around it that Lebron should have

239
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: been the m v P this year. And and and

240
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: Lebron made a great point. I'll wrap up on this

241
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: great point by Lebron. It seems like the criteria is

242
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: changing every year in how we're voting, so it's usually

243
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: the best player on the best team. But wait a second,

244
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: what happened when Russell Westbrook won it and they were

245
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: like the fourth or fifth seed in the West. Well,

246
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: Jason Russell Westbrook made an average a triple double for

247
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: the season. That was historic. Okay, well here's the counter.

248
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: He did the exact same thing the following year, and

249
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: he got fifth in the MVP voted. So what are

250
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: we doing? Is it the best stats? Because you gave

251
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: it to Russ for that and then the next year, uh,

252
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: he finished fifth. Is it the best player on the

253
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: best team? Which I thought it was that. Remember when

254
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: James Harden got it the Rockets won sixty five games,

255
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: and then I want to say, well, it should have

256
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: been Lebron. He's on the best player with the best team.

257
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: We'll know they have Anthony Davis. Okay, well, James Harden

258
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: when they want sixty five games in Houston had Chris

259
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Paul as his wingman. That was the year they pushed

260
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: Curry and and k D to seven. So James Harten

261
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: had Chris Paul and we're willing to give him the award,

262
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: but not Lebron because of Anthony Davis. Like, it's just

263
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: the in consistency is killing me. And you know, I

264
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: played golf Thursday, first time I played a couple of months,

265
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: and for me, I like sports that I'm gonna be

266
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: active and get a workout in and be competitive. Basketball

267
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: is great, Wow, Soccer's fund. Tennis is awesome. I kind

268
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: of don't like golf, guys now, it's a good social activity.

269
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: And I had two pars, which made me excited. It

270
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: was a part three course, but whatever. Um, I was

271
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: really strong off the tea. I think I only lost

272
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: two balls, um, and my putting was excellent, but I

273
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: had a par and then the next hole I had

274
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: like a snowman. I had like in the drink, lost

275
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: it off to the side, like the inconsistency. So I'm

276
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: just not a consistent golf light, which is fine. I

277
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: don't play golf a lot. Lebron consistently is dominant. He

278
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: should have been the m v P Alright, coming up

279
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: next year on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, we did NBA

280
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: to start, but this is gonna be heavy NFL. We

281
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: will go through every game. We'll do some Baker versus Burrow.

282
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: We'll do games we like, games were afraid of here

283
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: in week two, we'll do some week Week one reaction

284
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: over reaction, Okay, and then we have a great guest

285
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: coming up to analyze Seahawks Patriots, probably game of the

286
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: weekend Sunday Night Football. I'm torn on this one. We'll

287
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: do all that next here on Fox Sports Radio. Back

288
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio, it's me Jason McIntyre. I

289
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: don't understand why Baker Mayfield is just still so unhappy.

290
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: Like Gavin was just telling me that Baker Mayfield bakery.

291
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's top receiver, Odell Beckham. Odell Beckham sat down

292
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: with Maverick Carter and they do this interview and I

293
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: was watching it and I'm like, what is Odell Beckham

294
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: essentially wants to go back at the Oh we have

295
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: the audio. Okay, So Odell Beckham is all worked up

296
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: about what people say about him on radio, on the internet,

297
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: on TV, and he gave this interview to Maverick Carter

298
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Lebron's Uninterrupted Crump Company and just listen to this. It's crazy.

299
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: I think that's something that I definitely struggle with finding

300
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: a way to who combat analyst or the ones who

301
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: get up on TV and who have a big platform

302
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: to go and talk and say whatever and speak opinionated

303
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: information as if it's factual. Yes, I do want to

304
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: get back at him, Yes, I do. Wish I knew

305
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: the way, and I know one way is is just

306
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: straight winning. I mean, listen, Odell Becka has been in

307
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: the league for a minute now, like he's got to

308
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: know it doesn't matter what people say. It just doesn't.

309
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: If you spend your time consuming what everybody says on

310
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: the internet, on the radio, on the TV, on the podcast,

311
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: you're never gonna get anywhere, just never gonna accomplish anything.

312
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's a little cliche at this

313
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: time to say this, but you've got to control what

314
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: you can control, what can you control producing on the field,

315
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: not pounding, not being unhappy, not giving dumb interviews where

316
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: you say, you know, I just want to be win

317
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: and be productive. Well, you know it might be difficult

318
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: to do both of them sometimes, Odell. As long as

319
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: you do your best, everything else will work out. That's

320
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: all you can do. If you do your best and

321
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: win or lose, nobody's gonna say anything. And if they

322
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: say anything, who cares you? It doesn't matter. You know

323
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: you did your best. Like Baker Mayfield, I thought he

324
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: had put this stuff behind it, but pretty clearly he hasn't.

325
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: Like I don't know my takeaway from Thursday with Listen,

326
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: Baker had called a good game. The Browns offense look sharp. Um.

327
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: I think they were like seven and a half yards

328
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: per play, which was tremendous against a bad Bengals defense.

329
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. Joe Burrow took a

330
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: pounding every play, running for his life, pick and himself

331
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: self up off the grass. No turnovers. I think he

332
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: was the first quarterback for first rookie quarterback to throw

333
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: sixty or more passes in a game without a turnover.

334
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: I was like, that's a pretty good performance from Joe

335
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: Burrow when you factor this in, Historically, rookie quarterbacks on

336
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: Thursday Night have performed very poorly. The numbers that I

337
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: was able to pull up rookie quarterbacks in weeks one

338
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: through eight, right early in the season. You're still learning

339
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: the playbook, learning the speed of the league, all that

340
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: fun stuff. They are one in six in the last

341
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: fifteen years, they have one touchdown and ten interceptions. Rookies

342
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: have not performed well on Thursday Night. And there's obviously

343
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: plenty of good reasons why Joe Burrow covered for the Bengals.

344
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: He was very good. I thought he was good. I

345
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: know it. You know. They ran like ninety plays and

346
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: he threw passes. Okay, great, Well he had to because

347
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: they had no run game, and I thought he delivered.

348
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: I came away saying, listen, Baker's in year three, Joe

349
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: Burrows in game two. You look at that game and

350
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: tell me, well, who do you think you want more

351
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: five years from now? It's Joe Burrow, no doubt. I mean,

352
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: he's playing with a J Green, who, by the way,

353
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: looked very washed. Did you notice that Gavin, Like if

354
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: I had a j Green and fantasy. I mean I

355
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: probably would have dropped him like he looked terrible. Tyler

356
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Boyd got me some points. By the way, how did

357
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: you do in Fantasy, Gavin? I have Joe Mixons, so

358
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been a great start. I did win both of

359
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: my league's last week, well done. I went over to

360
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: UM and I had Marlon Mack who was lost for

361
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: the season with an achilles. So but I'm off to

362
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: a great start in week two. I will tell you

363
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: one thing that's funny about fantasy is there's always the sleepers.

364
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: You want to be on top of the guys you

365
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: know well. I drafted Niheim Hines into He was my

366
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: last picks. Part of part of it is because look,

367
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Philip Rivers fan, and he loves throwing

368
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: to the running back and I knew Hines would be

369
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: that guy. It did get me uncertain when there's three

370
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: running backs. The problem is the week leading up to

371
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Week one, I dropped Hines in both one to get

372
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Hey, let's get a backup quarterback. One to

373
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: get some Indra guy. Were you able to get him back?

374
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: I was able to get Hines back in one league

375
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: in my auction league. I bident of my fab my

376
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: favorite words, and the other guy bent that about are

377
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: we have a one dollar budget? I bid fifty. Yeah.

378
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: The guy who got him bid nine. So he's like,

379
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm desperate for running back Hines by

380
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: the way, on the fast turf indoors against a terrible

381
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: Vikings defense. He's gonna eat you. Gotta start him all right.

382
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, Greg Bdard,

414
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Isaac, h Isaac. Quick question on

415
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: the Big Ten? Um, how is this gonna work? Like

416
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: they're just gonna start, because I saw that there's like

417
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: fourteen games canceled today, Like, does the Big Ten have

418
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: any wiggle rooms? Should there be an outbreak somewhere? I'll

419
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: check it out. But throughout the week, I've seen reports

420
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: of the various conferences building that in and I'll double check.

421
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: I think what the conferences are generally trying to do

422
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: is to try and give themselves at least a one

423
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: week cushion in order to make up any games that

424
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: are canceled because of COVID. Got it all right, thank you, Isaac.

425
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: All right back here on Fox Sports Radio, It's me

426
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,760

430
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: which way is easier. So the best part about the

431
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 1: NFL schedule this weekend is there are a lot of

432
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: big favorites, and that's always risky, Okay, a lot of

433
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: big favorites. And I think, what's the game of the

434
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: week Seahawks Patriots. The line is Seattle by four. My

435
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: guesses we see that come down a little. You know,

436
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: people are gonna want to bet on Belichick and Seattle

437
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: has a big home field advantage, but there's no twelve demand.

438
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: So let's bring in Greg Bdard of the Boston Sports Journal.

439
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: You know him well. He covers the hell out of

440
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots, all things Boston. Greg, how are you man? Good? Yeah,

441
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. Thanks. Um. I I'm just really

442
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: torn on Seattle and New England. Riddle me this, Greg, Okay,

443
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: how sustainable is Cam Newton getting fifteen carries a week

444
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL at the age of thirty one, after

445
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: having shoulder surgery two of the last three off seasons.

446
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: He's coming off the foot injury. I mean, really, what

447
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: are we looking at here? Yeah, it's not it's it's

448
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: it's not sustainable at all. And and so you know,

449
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: one of the things I'll be looking for this week,

450
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: and one of the things I wrote about was um

451
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: One of the more interesting things out of Week one

452
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: was that, uh, I rarely saw Cam Newton change many

453
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: of the plays at the line, and uh, you know,

454
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: one of the tenants of the Patriots offenses they don't

455
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: run bad place, which in the past was you know,

456
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: you stack the box, Brady audibles, checks, whatever. Right now

457
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton in this offense, he doesn't have that ability,

458
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: or at least he didn't in week one, and Miami

459
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: was able to exploit that at times. Um, they ran

460
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: some place that had no chance of being successful. And

461
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: that's something that I worry about this week and including

462
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: you know, Cam would have to keep it and and

463
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: run the read option and things like that. So I

464
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: think that's a that's a big key is how quick

465
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: how quickly can they get to uh audibles and checks

466
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: for Cam in this offense? Is it gonna take Will

467
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: they do something this week? We'll take till week twelve.

468
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: If not, teams are going to come after them and

469
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: force force the Patriots into some bad place. Yeah, that's

470
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: an interesting See this is why you're so good Like

471
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: breaking down something like that is really impressive and it

472
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: makes me wonder like it's one thing when Cam gets

473
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: to the line and he's looking at a Miami defense

474
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: that's largely rebuilt. Um, now you're looking at Jamal Adams,

475
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: who is you know, one of the top safeties in

476
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: the league. He can be a game changer. I would

477
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: assume the Patriots are going to come to the line

478
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and he's gonna be in the box more. Yeah. Yeah.

479
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: If if I'm Pete Carroll, if I'm watching the film

480
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: from week one in the in the Patriots, I'm like, well,

481
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: we're putting six seven eight in the box all the time.

482
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: That includes Jamal Adams, and Jamal you can do whatever

483
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: you want because he was just I've never seen in

484
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: this Seattle scheme. And of course they've had some great

485
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: safeties Earl Thomas cam Chancellor, I've never seen them do

486
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: what they did with Jamal Adams in Week one, which

487
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: was blitz him a lot, uh, basically let him reak havoc.

488
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: And if the Patriots, and you know, I will say,

489
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots held a few things back from

490
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and and you know, I know, I know

491
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: they did some really good things on offense, but going

492
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: from playing uh, Jerome Baker and a Landon Roberts at

493
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: linebacker to uh, you know, kJ Wright and Bobby Wagner

494
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: is like it's it's night and day and so it's

495
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be much tougher for the Patriots. And one

496
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: I would expect they will have a few plays that

497
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: they that they have an alert to where Cam can

498
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: alert to a screen. And that's one of the big things.

499
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: I think. I didn't see them barely run any screens

500
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: in Week one. They usually do that. I think they

501
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: held it out for this game. And the other thing

502
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: is that they do against fast teams like Seattle, they

503
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: normally run a lot of traps and whams in the

504
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: running game. Used that speed against them. So traps, whams, screens,

505
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: that's something I think they're gonna use. And I think

506
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to or else Cam can't do what

507
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: he did in Week one every week he just can't.

508
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: All Right, last Patriots question, like if the Patriots happened

509
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: to fall down four nothing. I looked at the passing game.

510
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Greg, they had one reception over twenty yards

511
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: by the tight end Ryan Iszo. Is this team I

512
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: don't think right now they're built to come back right now?

513
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I said this after watching them in camp. I said

514
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: that they need They're the type of team that needs

515
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: a lead. They need to be able to run, you know,

516
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: through the running game, play good defense. If they get

517
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: down two scores their toast. Not only did they only

518
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: have one you know, twenty plus play in the passing game, well,

519
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: first of all, they had they had ten explosive players

520
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: in the game, nine were of the rushing variety, and

521
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: they only had three passes over ten yards and so

522
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: that that's just not sustainable. That's what I mean about.

523
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: I would expect Seattle to compress their defense and force

524
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: force the Patriots to beat them over the top, which

525
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: they're not very comfortable doing right now. Yeah, now, Greg,

526
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: this leads to an interesting, like league wide question about

527
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we're in a passing league. It's a

528
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: passing league, and everybody's identity should be tempo, pace and pass.

529
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens had one of the most

530
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: historic ground games ever last year, won fourteen games. Derrick

531
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: Henry leads the Titans with the ground game to the

532
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: a f C title game. And now here's Bill Belichick

533
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: kind of bucking the trend of passing and we're just

534
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna go ground and pound everybody. Yeah, it seems like,

535
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, some of the teams have have either you know,

536
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: stocked up on weapons or they build through their offensive line.

537
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: And that's certainly what the Patriots have done. I mean,

538
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: coming into the season, you looked at them offensively, and

539
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, and and McDaniels pretty much went with this approach,

540
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: which is he looked at his team. He's like, all right, well,

541
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: what do we do? Well? What are we good at?

542
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: They have a really good offensive line, they have a

543
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: really good fullback. Uh, they're gonna play bullyball. That's sort

544
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: of what they're gonna be. And they're gonna have to

545
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: be for a while until Cam comes along a little

546
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: bit in the passing game. But with anything, you need

547
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: to have balance and and if you if you can't

548
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: do both, and you can't make big plays throwing the

549
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: ball from the pocket on third down or in the clutch,

550
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a tough time winning many really big games,

551
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: all right. Greg Bordard, Boston Sports Journal. A final question,

552
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, a did you get to why

553
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's okay? Uh? And I guess b everybody's killing him.

554
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: Oh hey, look washed two picks Like I personally did

555
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: not think he looked terrible when you consider Saints are

556
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: a top ten defense last year in the league. Uh,

557
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: and this is game one. I feel like the Buccaneers

558
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: are one of my favorite picks this weekend, going against

559
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: a really beat up Carolina team that's young. Yeah, it's

560
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: it's Uh, it's interesting. The Patriots in the in the

561
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: box are almost they're going opposite the first two weeks,

562
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the the the Buccaneers played a New Orleans

563
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Saints defense, you know, a New Orleans team that's you know,

564
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: basically a super Bowl favorite, and then they have a

565
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: rebuilding team this week from the division in Carolina. The

566
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: Patriots had the rebuilding team in their division, the Dolphins,

567
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: And now they go play a super Bowl type team

568
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: in Seattle on the road. And so we'll see after

569
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: this week where they are. But I can tell you

570
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: from watching Tom over the years, Uh, the arm looks fine.

571
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: He does. He continues to react a little bit too

572
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: much to pressure in the park it as he ages.

573
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: That's something that has stood out. But I thought he

574
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: played fine, and I thought most of it. The thing

575
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that I took away most is you could tell that

576
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: there's sort of a it's not a battle, but they're

577
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: trying to be everything to everybody. They're trying to incorporate

578
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: Tom in the Arians offense, and right now everyone's playing

579
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: slow and they look confused, and so somebody they're either

580
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to get better at that real quick or

581
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: I could see Arians saying, you know what, Tom, we're

582
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: not doing your stuff. We've scored plenty of points around

583
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: here without you. We're running my offense. And then I

584
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: don't know, that could be that could be an issuest.

585
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: So did you think it was a fifty fifty Tom

586
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Arians like play call or play offense in Week one?

587
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: Or did it skew the more toward Brady it was

588
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: it was Arians offense. Uh, they did had They did

589
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: run some staple Patriots place um, some with their own

590
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: twists on them, including the first the first ball to

591
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: Uh to Godwin was straight out of the Patriots playbook

592
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: with it but with a twist. And Uh. But I

593
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: think I think they incorporated some of the things Tom

594
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: likes to do in terms of changing plays at the

595
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and also UH sight adjustments, route adjustments

596
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: by the receivers, and I don't think the Bucks are

597
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: used to that, and you could tell they're thinking through

598
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: plays instead of just playing. And right now those things

599
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: are fighting each other and their season could have been

600
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: on how long that lasts? Based on what you just

601
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: said about Belichick, what do we do well, let's play

602
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: to our strength And now with the Bucks, it's almost

603
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: like a tug of war. Well I want to do this,

604
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: and Arians is saying, well, none, no, this is what

605
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: we do. Well, Uh, there's the potential for the wheels

606
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: to come off here, I guess. Now. That was my

607
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: big reaction to watching that game, was especially arians reaction

608
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: after the game, where you know, we put those two

609
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: picks on Tom and any you know, I'm I'm an

610
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: idiot when it comes to football compared to him, But

611
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: I could tell you that the first interception was was

612
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: not on was on on Brady, It was on Evans,

613
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: and for him to call out Brady on that I

614
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: thought was ridiculous. And I think I think, if if

615
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: this doesn't get better very quickly, there's gonna be a

616
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: battle internally between their offense. And I think I think

617
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: Brady and Arians could really this could really turn into

618
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: some sort of fight. Oh I like that, you know, well,

619
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but that's a good storyline for

620
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: everybody in the media. Greg Bdard, Boston Sports Journal. Check

621
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: out his stuff at Greg A. Bdard. Alright, Greg, enjoy

622
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: the game this weekend, man, Thanks are great stuff. Greg Bdard,

623
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: Boston Sports Journal. Hey, I hope you guys listen closely

624
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: to that. There were some real pearls of wisdom in there.

625
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: Did you hear this, Gavin? I listen. But Dard is

626
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: one of the best in the business, and I'm gonna

627
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: be now. I'm definitely gonna watch Bucks Carolina a little

628
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: closer than I had thought I would because if Arians

629
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: and Brady are having a tug of war over what

630
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: they should run like, you know, Tom Brady is like, Bro,

631
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm forty three, I've won six Super Bowl rings. Well,

632
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna do a little bit more of

633
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: that next And uh, by the way, I see your

634
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: tweets guys about Lebron versus you honest, just just stop.

635
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: You know you're not right? Um all right? Coming up

636
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, will do

637
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: a little more on the NFL and uh some NBA

638
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: next hour, but First, here's a word from farmers. You

639
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of something with Farmers policy perks

640
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: so much, I'm gonna have to speed things up. You

641
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: can get the Farmer's Signal app and that could get

642
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: you up to off your auto policy. That's just for

643
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: using the app and driving like the normal speed limited hearing,

644
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: full stop, making lane change, signaling, human being. You are

645
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of something with Farmers policy perks.

646
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: Start with a quote by calling one eight hundred farmers.

647
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: We are farmers. Not for the legal something not available

648
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: in every state in discount Arey's only available with slight

649
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: Pharmospranic policy subdigence conditions under written the Pharmastar Furnitures Exchanges

650
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: their affiliate Blue EMU Maximum Pain Relief works fast and

651
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: you won't stink. It's a pharmacist recommended odor free pain

652
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: relief from muscle pain, backaches, strains, sprains, or even arthritis.

653
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: There's no stinging or burning involved. It's simple pain relief.

654
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: Blue EMU Maximum Pain Relief works fast and you won't stink.

655
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: It's so funny. So Steve Hartman has a show after me,

656
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: and he had me go on his show in San

657
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: Diego this week, and he likes to tell the audience

658
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre's Saturday Morning show is on more stations than

659
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: any other radio show in America. And I think that

660
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: or on Sorry on Premiere Radio, and I think that

661
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: includes Rush Limbaugh, like Ryan Seacrest all this crazy stuff.

662
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: So we got a large listener base. Thank you guys

663
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: for listening and checking in and even sending your angry

664
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: tweets to me. Yes, I do enjoy those sometimes. During

665
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: the break, Um Gavin has audio of Bruce Arians after

666
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: the loss to the Saints. And given what Greg Badar

667
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: just told us, and this guy covered Tom Brady for

668
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: over fifteen years, listen to what Bruce Arians, a coach

669
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: of Tampa sat. You know he's had it before, and mean,

670
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: he knows how to bounce back, and uh, he knew

671
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: he didn't play very well and it's not what he

672
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: expects from himself, nor do we expect. So I want

673
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: to anticipate him to have a little more grit and

674
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: a little more determination this week. I mean, I gotta

675
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: be honest. I the now, given everything we've heard Gavin

676
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: from Greg Um, if you've watched any of the old

677
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: twenty two if you've looked at the numbers, Tom Brady

678
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: was not terrible. That's a straight up shot from Bruce Arians,

679
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: isn't it. The media then asked Brady about it, and

680
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: here's what Tom Brady said. Hey, Tom, there's just been

681
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: a lot of talk this week about Bruce Arians kind

682
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: of being Bruce Arians and kind of being blunt in

683
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: his criticism of you and specifically in the two interceptions.

684
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: How is that for you? I think there's a perception

685
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: that you haven't taken a lot of criticism from your

686
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: coaches before. I don't think this is something that surprised

687
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: you this week, isn't. So it's question just just whether

688
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: you were surprised at all to hear Bruce speaking publicly

689
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: about the picks and and and being critical of you.

690
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: As he was all right, you know, he's a coach,

691
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: so I'm a player just trying to win a game.

692
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: M kind of says a lot the way he was

693
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: so short. Yeah, and he was like, what's the question,

694
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: So listen. I don't want to say this is a

695
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: fight on your honeymoon about where to go to dinner,

696
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: but something definitely now listening. Were five games in five

697
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: days into the game Okay, so I'm sure a lot

698
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: of that has worn off. It doesn't help certainly that

699
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin is in concussion protocol and doubtful. But I'm

700
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: looking at the Football Outsiders numbers. They track quarterbacks, um

701
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: many many different areas by play basically, and according to

702
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: them their d v O A quarterback. The number one

703
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in Week one was Russell Wilson, no surprise, Lamar Jackson,

704
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen being number four bit of a

705
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: shock to me. But one of the categories that helps

706
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: him is running the football. According to this, Brady checked

707
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: in at twenty four, best below him Kyler Murray, which

708
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: is crazy because Kyler Murray had a really good game.

709
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: I think he ran for a hundred yards UM and

710
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: then had to take a couple of kneel downs. But

711
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: and this is what we're Drew Brees checks in at

712
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: twenty one. Now, Gavin, if you watch that game, Drew

713
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: Brees did not look good. I mean had under two

714
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: yards passing and he got gifted the pick six, the

715
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: gifted the special teams turnover. I just, Gavin, I don't know, man,

716
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: you like to gable two. I don't think the bucks

717
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: were as bad as that final score indicates. No, and

718
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: especially just I test wise, you know, I do think

719
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: that there were elements that weren't the same, like Gronk

720
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: didn't look like normal. Um, but I agree with you

721
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: fundamentally on that Brady did not look as bad as

722
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: everyone's making out. All right, So coming up next, we're

723
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna bring back ta you guys. Remember I think the

724
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: last three uh NFL seasons we bring him on every week.

725
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: Now he's got a baby, so he can't do every week,

726
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think. But he's coming on next and we'll

727
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: break down his best bets of the weekend. I'll offer mine. Well,

728
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: we'll go through the card. It's an interesting weekend, guys,

729
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: keep it locked. NFL picks Coming up next, our number

741
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: I I've never met him in person. We met over

742
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: the internet. Um, I don't know. Maybe he saw one

743
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: of my picks on on TV, radio, web whatever, and

744
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,000

755
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: lot that's happened. But you know, my wife is great.

756
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,719

Speaker 1: that I do. So um, she's been great with that.

761
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: But you know, having a baby is fantastic. And just

762
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: got a fine time in between changing diapers and burping

763
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: to do my research. That's be the toughest part, but

764
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: it's been great. Yeah, you gotta get this print out

765
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: so when the bait when the baby's napping on your

766
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: shoulder in the rocking chair. And this is real folks.

767
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: If you know I don't have a kid, this is real,

768
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: actual stuff. You're reading something or maybe listening to a podcast,

769
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: but so t A. Have you had a lot of

770
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: time to break down week two? And how do you

771
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: do in week one? Oh? Week one? I I did

772
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: really well. Um, I saw I'm not in the Super

773
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: Contest this year, but I'm in a similar pick five contest.

774
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: Went three one in one. But I also, um, you

775
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: know on Twitter, I sent out you know a lot

776
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: of people are asking me for you know, they're in

777
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: pools where they just pick against the spread. You have

778
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: to pick every game. Uh, and I think I had

779
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: two losses in the entire week. So, um, you know

780
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: really saw a week one, Well, did my research and

781
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm ready for Week two. I mean there's this is

782
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: the typical bounce back. Wheek. I think there's a lot

783
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: of overreactions that happened from week one to week two,

784
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: and you see it with you know, I'm not a

785
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: huge trends guy, but I think this makes sense just

786
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: because you've seen, you know, the lines move and you

787
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: see the perception all based on one game. Um, you

788
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: look at the last ten years, for example, teams that

789
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: lost by double digits in week one have come back

790
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: and covered at a six clip the next week. Um,

791
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: if you look since two thousand and ten, teams that

792
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: have lost straight up as a favorite in week one

793
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: and we're underdogs and week two have covered seventy So

794
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of those kind of you

795
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: can take advantage of the markets moving, um, kind of

796
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: overreacting one way or another. And I think you could

797
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of that pretty easily. So I'll let you

798
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: fire first, give me your one of your best picks

799
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: or your best pick right out of gate. Yeah, so

800
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 1: I like a couple of favorites this week and again

801
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: back into that bounce back mode. I like Tampa this

802
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: week minus you can get eight half nine or so

803
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: over Carolina. And really, you know, I had the over

804
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: in the Carolina Vegas game last week, UH, and it

805
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: went way over and it scored sixty four points combined.

806
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: It really comes down to the fact that on defense

807
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: or secondary is just atrocious. I mean, they started up

808
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: worked around rookie cornerback on a Notre Dame Troy Pride Jr.

809
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: On one side, that kind of a nondescriptive veteran Donte Jackson,

810
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: who was great as one of the bottom twenty cornerbacks

811
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year by Pro Football Focus. On

812
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: the other side, they have Brown's cast off an undrafted

813
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: free agent Justin Burris at safety. So they got shredded

814
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: by Derek Carr. I expect something similar here. And even

815
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 1: you know, the pass rush and the run defense we're

816
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: both pretty bad. UM as well. They only generated four

817
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: four pressures on Derek Carr last week UM, and they

818
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the run. They were dead last g b

819
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: O a run defense last year and it continued in

820
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: Week one. And now they lose their best defensive lineman,

821
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: Pewan Short who was one of their he's by far

822
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: the best run stuffer. Um, it's so heat out for

823
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: this game, like they are. I think Tom Brady is

824
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: is you know, supposedly he's really angry this week and

825
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: talked to the media much. I think he's gonna come

826
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: back with a vengeance. It doesn't bother me that God

827
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: wins out. Still have plenty of weapons with Mike Evans

828
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: and O. J. Howard and Justin Watson and Scotty Miller,

829
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna run the ball pretty well

830
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: with Ronald Jones as well. So I think this is

831
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: more like a thirty four seventeen type game. And you know,

832
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: the Tampa defense played pretty well last week against Drew

833
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: Brees and the Saints. It was really you know, the

834
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: pick six from Brady and a box special pensions that

835
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: led to send points. So I think they're gonna be

836
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: able to hammer the Panthers here. And Tom Brady, you know,

837
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: he's a good looking guy, and good looking guys rebound quickly.

838
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: I expect a big bounce back from Brady. Alright, my

839
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: my number one, I'm going with the Eagles. T A uh,

840
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. I was all over Washington last week that

841
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: was you know, pretty pretty proud of that call, and

842
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: their offensive line was in shambles, gave up eight sacks.

843
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: Now Lane Johnson's back and Miles Sanders, their top running

844
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,919
Speaker 1: back is back, and it just feels like an overreaction

845
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: to look ahead on Eagles was three and a half.

846
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: They were favored by Wednesday, the Rams were favored, which

847
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like to your overreaction theme, this one

848
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: lines up perfectly. And I think the Ram's offense, which

849
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: looked fast on that track at so by, going to

850
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: be slowed down here. Uh. And I just I'm definitely

851
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: going with the Eagles outdoors um to to cover. I

852
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: think it's one and a half or one. Yeah, I

853
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: totally agree. I'm with you on that. I took them

854
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: as well. Um again, like you said that, they're much

855
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: healthier now. I think you're gonna see a lot of

856
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: you know, Wentz got pressured a ton by Washington. That

857
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: was actually my number one thick last week was Washington.

858
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: So again, it was with you on that. He really

859
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: struggled when he ran play action and it's very slow,

860
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 1: kind of slow process. He got sacked three times doing

861
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: that under center. When he did play action and shotgun

862
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: did not get sacked at all, much quicker out of

863
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: the out of the shotgun. So I think do you

864
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: see a lot more of that? Uh? And like I said,

865
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: I think golf in general has pretty substantial splits between

866
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: home and road, and so you know, I'm not sure

867
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: if no crowd takes that away, but you know they

868
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: are traveling all the way east, so um, you've got

869
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: to consider that as well. So I agree with you

870
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: on the Eagles. I also like the Cowboys that have

871
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: bounced back to Atlanta minus four and a half and

872
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 1: again similar to Carolina. I mean Atlanta's defense, especially their secondaries, atrocious.

873
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: They allowed Russell Wilson to complete thirty one of thirty

874
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: five passes. Um. I mean they're they're they're cornerbacks allowed

875
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: seventeen of twenty targets to be caught for two d

876
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards. Uh. In no quarterback received the

877
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: PF grade above forty eight, which is pretty bad. I

878
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: mean they were atrocious last week. You know, defensive line

879
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: of that ton of injuries on the D line. In

880
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 1: terms of depth, I think you're gonna see a big

881
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: bounce back from deck in that offense, and you know

882
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: something's going on with this falcontinue. If you remember the

883
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: first eight games last year, they were getting blown out

884
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: a ton early. I mean six of the first eight

885
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: games last year they were down by double digits at halftime.

886
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: They're down by seventeen quusts in four of their their

887
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: eight games at halftime. And that's what happened last week

888
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: as well. They were getting blown out there, down nineteen

889
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: at the end of three and you get all these

890
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: kind of garbage stats from Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter,

891
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: kind of uh, you know, a couple of touchdowns late

892
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: against the backups in prevent You know, as long as

893
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: we don't get a back door here, I think that

894
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: there's no way at Lanta is gonna be able stop

895
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: this offense. I thing is gonna roll. It's just a

896
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: matter of you know, can Atlanta keep up? And I'm

897
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: not sure they can. Yeah. I just my only pauses

898
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: losing the two linebackers. The secondary did not look sharp,

899
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: and I just I feel like the Falcons could the

900
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: back doors. What scares me with that with the Cowboys,

901
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: So I didn't I didn't take that one. I do

902
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: like one. This is a little risky. I'm on the

903
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: Colts uh favored by three. I know they laid the

904
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,479
Speaker 1: biggest egg and nobody wants to touch them this week.

905
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: But I thought the Minnesota Vikings probably were the biggest

906
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: downgrade for me. Um. I didn't think highly of them

907
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: coming in, but I didn't think they would be this bad.

908
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,479
Speaker 1: They could not get to Aaron Rodgers, they couldn't stop

909
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: the run they got. Their past defense was in an embarrassment.

910
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, t a they were giving up chunk plays

911
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: left and right. And I know that the Colts are

912
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,479
Speaker 1: really more of a ball control attack and they lost

913
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack, but I mean, the Colts can beat you

914
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: so many ways. The Paris Campbell, by the way, you're

915
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: o'house date guy looked pretty darn good. I think there's

916
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: a big game from Jonathan Taylor. I'm way way down

917
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: on the Vikings. I like the Colts. Yeah, so you

918
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: took another one of my pickle on the same wavelengths,

919
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely on the Colts. Public hammering at Minnesota,

920
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: the line hasn't moved. It stuck at three. That should

921
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: tell you something that this is. I think this is

922
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: a reputation play from the public here on Minnesota. I

923
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 1: was down on Minnesota coming into the year. Their secondary. Again,

924
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: this is a running thing with me. This is a

925
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: third team in a row we're talking about here that

926
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: their secondary was atrocious last week. I mean they are

927
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: very young. They're actually down Cameron Danceler, a guy you

928
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: probably never heard of, is a starter. He got picked on.

929
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: He's out for this game. They're going to do a

930
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: guy named Holton Hill who had one of the worst

931
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: PFF grades coverage wise of the week. And they can't

932
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: stop anybody in the passing game. And without ever Sin

933
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: Griffin and no the Neil O'Connor and in Gockway is

934
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: still you know, who knows if he could play full

935
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: full snaps. He's still um, you know, dealings with with

936
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: some injuries. Uh, there's this no pressure. I don't see

937
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: any reason. I mean, the Colts didn't punt last week.

938
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: As bad as they look, they didn't punt at all.

939
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: It was just a couple of you know, standard Philip

940
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: rivers turnovers. But I think they can control the clock.

941
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to score at will. And

942
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: you know, with Adam Feeland really is your only outside

943
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: target um and threat for Minnesota. You know, the secondary

944
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: coach for for the Colpe. I know a little bit.

945
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: He's actually he came from Minnesota two years ago. He's

946
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: a Mike Zimmer guy. He knows he knows that offense

947
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: very well. I think they're gonna be able to scheme

948
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: up some things. Xavier Rhodes again, another guy who knows

949
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings really well, who went up against Adam Feeland

950
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: in practice for the last couple of years. I think

951
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to slow them down. And I

952
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: think the Colts win here and cover the three. By

953
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: the way, David Rhodes was bad in Week one. He

954
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: was He doesn't look good, I know, but I like

955
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: that theory. That theory. Now, this is where it gets

956
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: tough for me because I don't have a fifth and

957
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: I went with the New York Giants. Uh my, big, big,

958
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: big obvious thing here, t A is how the hell

959
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: is Mitch Robinsky favored by five and a half over anybody.

960
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: He was ready to get benched in the third quarter

961
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: against the Lions. He was so bad. If the Detroit secondary,

962
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: like every single player went down, justin Coleman Truffont, they

963
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: were all gone in the fourth quarter, and Traubinsky kind

964
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 1: of Luck boxes into that comeback, Stafford at a tip interception,

965
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: and if DeAndre Swift catches that touchdown pass for the

966
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: Lions with like eight seconds left, I wonder what this

967
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: line is? Is it three? And I know you like

968
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: the Giants last week and I thought they were competent. Uh,

969
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is gonna be the big problem. He always

970
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: makes mistakes and too he two interceptions against the Bears.

971
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: The tough one at the goal line was a killer.

972
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: But I think they could cover five and a half

973
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: and it feels like a revenge spot for sake Kuan.

974
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: If Adrian Peterson could get loose for ninety three yards

975
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: against the Bears defense and Hicks has banged up Khalil

976
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: Mac Robert Quinn. I don't think Quinn played in the opener.

977
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: It feels to me like the Giants can move the

978
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: ball and this is closer than five and a half. Yeah,

979
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not on this. I actually think there's

980
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a decent amount of points surprisingly, but a

981
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: couple of things here. Um, yes, it's huge. If Cleil

982
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: Mac doesn't play, that's enormous. If um, you know Quinn

983
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: doesn't play, you know that that'd be a you know,

984
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: a nice bonus for for Chicago. If he can play,

985
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: Hicks should play. He you know, I think, um, he practiced.

986
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: He doesn't look like there's an injury designation, so he

987
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: should be okay. Um, But yeah, I mean that offensive

988
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: line for the Giants with detrocious though, I mean, that's

989
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: their problem. They couldn't run the ball, they couldn't block

990
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: at all. And if you get one of those things

991
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: where it's it's a tough day against the mac and

992
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: that defense, you know, they could cause some turnovers. I

993
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: will say the thing about Travisky that people keep forgetting.

994
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, he's not a great quarterback, but the

995
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: one thing he does well is he does shred bad defenses.

996
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: So check this out, Jason. I looked. I looked at

997
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: this because I was surprised, um at some of the

998
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: some of the information I got. But he's faced twelve

999
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: teams in the last two and a half years who

1000
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: are bottom ten in d v o A past defense.

1001
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: And here are his numbers in those twelve games. Seventy

1002
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: percent completion, eight point four yards per tempt, thirty one touchdowns,

1003
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: only six interceptions. What do you think of that? I mean,

1004
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: and we know the Giants, it's still early, but that

1005
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: is not a good past defense, so they're clearly bottom ten.

1006
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,439
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a big day. And yeah,

1007
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned he didn't produce until all those

1008
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: corners are down for the Lions. Well, I mean that's

1009
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: what he does. He plays very well again, bad quarters

1010
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: in bad secondary, so I think he's gonna have a

1011
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: really good game. I think Allen Robinson, he's been talking

1012
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: about his contract issues. I think he's you know, they

1013
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: have kind of that squeaky wheel narrative where I think

1014
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the ball a lot. I think it

1015
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: would be a lot of points. I'm not on either

1016
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: side here because I agree there is a chance of

1017
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: the Giants could cover when with some of those injuries

1018
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: on the on the Bearer's defensive line. But I'm staying away.

1019
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: I just think, don't short sell Drabinsky too much here.

1020
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: He could have a big day. All right, your your

1021
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: final one. I actually took my final because I had

1022
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: the Browns on Thursday. I posted this on Twitter. They

1023
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: completely outplayed Cincinnati is seven and a half seven and

1024
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: a half to four yards per play advantage and didn't

1025
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: cover I think in the last five years. That's that's

1026
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: only happened ten percent of the time. Ninety percent of the

1027
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: the time those teams cover, So that was a loss

1028
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: for me. But um yeah, I think those are the

1029
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: five that that we talked about. I would say the

1030
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: one that would potentially consider that I didn't take where

1031
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots getting the four at the getting over three

1032
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: is big here. I love Seattle. I have them in

1033
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the Ravens. I just think that

1034
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: their their their their issue is their front four. Their

1035
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: secondary is very good. The front four is bad. And

1036
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: I think that we saw with the Patriots last week

1037
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: a lot of running. I think they're gonna run the

1038
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: ball a lot on on Seattle, similar what the Ravens

1039
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: did to them. Remember in Seattle last year. And we

1040
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: know that the Dow England secondary is fantastic, so I

1041
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: think they can slow down here A Russell Wilson, no

1042
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: crowd advantage obviously with Seattle, um Bill Belichick craze a

1043
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: spot like this, I think getting over field goal is

1044
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: is you know, taking the Patriots here is the right

1045
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: thing to do. Would have last that would be it.

1046
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm smitten with either the Cardinals, Uh favored

1047
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: by six and a half or the Steelers debt. When

1048
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: you look at Denver t a I mean Philip Lindsay out,

1049
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: okay A J. Bouyer the number one quarterback out. I

1050
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: don't see how Denver can run on this Pittsburgh defense.

1051
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is not good to begin with, and

1052
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: now you remove your Lindsay and on defense, like I mean,

1053
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry did get a hundred fifteen yard rushing. I

1054
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: don't see a path to victory for Denver here on

1055
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: the road. Uh And Drew Lock has faced one good

1056
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: past defense and he had like a QBR of like nine.

1057
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: I know it was in the snow against the Chiefs,

1058
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: but I mean, I just Pittsburgh is gonna eat up

1059
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks. Any thoughts on Drew Lock in Pittsburgh, Well,

1060
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: I was very low in Denver coming here this season.

1061
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: I have under their eight winds and the wind totals

1062
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: before the time Millon Ergury, I will say this. You

1063
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: say there's no pasive victory, Well, when the Steelers have

1064
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: three starting offensive linemen out, that's a path. Because it

1065
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: was new Ski to Castro and Banner all out for

1066
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: this game. I mean both their guards with New ski

1067
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: And and the Castro are out, and those are two

1068
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: of the top fifteen pass blockers in the NFL. Among guards,

1069
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Darrell Casey could have a big day,

1070
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: and that defensive line, you know, Bradley Chubb can do

1071
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: some things. It's a short week, um for both teams.

1072
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: But you know, I just think that, um, you know,

1073
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm not really I mean, look, you've learned enough. Philip

1074
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: Lindsay doesn't move the needle. Um. No, very very very

1075
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: few running backs movement when it comes to the point spread.

1076
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you got Melvin Gordon there, so that's not

1077
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: an issue. I wouldn't worry about that. Courtland Sutton is

1078
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: a big deal because he's gonna be a He's a

1079
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: big threat for them. So if he plays, I would

1080
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: actually leave Denver again stay away from me. But if

1081
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: I had a choice, I would take Denver here. I

1082
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of a reaction to what

1083
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: the Big Ben and the Steelers did last week. You

1084
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 1: watched that game. I mean he started off really slows,

1085
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: Rusty picked up a little bit, but again it gets

1086
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 1: a bad Giants defense. I think this is um. You know,

1087
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: the total is only forty and a half. So as

1088
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,439
Speaker 1: a seven point spread, you know they're not expecting much

1089
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: here from Denver's offense. So, um, you know, to me,

1090
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: this could be a type of game. You might be

1091
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: a really low scoring game. Alright, So I don't know.

1092
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: Good stuff t A. You can follow him on Twitter

1093
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: at cleave t A. Good luck this weekend, buddy, All right, later,

Speaker 1: we're gonna pivot back to the NBA. Mike Trudel stopping by.

1096
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: He witnessed the Lakers beat down in Game one. It

1097
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: smells like a sweet folks, And I want to ask

1098
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: him about Lebron and the m v P because you

00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,600

1102
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: just went like fifteen straight minutes picking NFL games. It's

1103
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: still it's fun. I could do that for three hours, um,

1104
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: I would say. And we'll get to college football later.

1105
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: But right now, bringing in Mike Tradell covers Lakers for

1106
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: Spectrum Sports. That Mike, good morning, how are you so? Man?

1107
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: The weekend works for my warm up music. I usually

1108
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: I prefer something like your track QUESTIONC Tupac, Yes, of course.

1109
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: Uh Lebron kind of went Tupac yesterday in the uh

1110
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,439
Speaker 1: hit a little hit him up style after he got

1111
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: sixteen m VP votes. First of all, Mike, let's start

1112
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: with the game though. Your thoughts on the Nuggets no

1113
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: showing in game one day, I don't know. I predicted

1114
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: sweep and I'm sticking with it. Yeah, So, I mean,

1115
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: I think things are gonna be a little it's not

1116
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna be quite that easy going forward. And if you

1117
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: just look at Dever, I mean, Yo plays twenty five minutes, right,

1118
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: Murray plays twenty Both all followed trouble. Yoki picks up

1119
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: his third with seven stuff in the second quarter, and

1120
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: you know that was really when LA started to take

1121
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: over the game. Now, they were really good to start

1122
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: the second quarter, right, They're going that big run even

1123
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: when Yo is on the floor, and they uniquely have

1124
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: the personnel to match up with Yow whether it's Sinks

1125
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: to be Davis, Dwight Howard, both those guys can give

1126
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: him trouble that I think very very few players in

1127
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: Namba ken Um. So there's no question to me the

1128
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: Lakers have been playing better overall. They are a better team,

1129
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's gonna be as just as

1130
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: easy as it is. You know, where the Lakers completely

1131
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: dominate the Nuggets and you know nobody is going to

1132
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: be able to play in the fourth quarter. Yeah, well,

1133
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: when when you look at what how it unfolded and

1134
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: what the Nuggets bring to the table, it's essentially Murray

1135
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: and Yokich and they don't have a number three guy.

1136
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: It's like Gary Harris might show up, Michael Porter Jr.

1137
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: Can do one side of the court and just doesn't

1138
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: play defense. I don't know who's gonna emerge as their

1139
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: third guy because if they don't, they're gonna get wax

1140
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: like this pretty quickly. Well, so I think that they're

1141
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers. You know, this has been a conversation with

1142
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers to all year, Right, who's the third guy?

1143
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: For sure? Is the tusma is? You know what they've done.

1144
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: If they're they're chemistry and more ability to have Lebron

1145
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: and a D D the two and then it doesn't

1146
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: matter who the the guy is night tonight. They can rotate.

1147
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: But the difference to me between the Lakers and Denver

1148
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: is that there are two guys of course Lebron ay

1149
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: D they played both rays and you can you can

1150
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: look at it for the access. You can look at

1151
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: the defensive metrics. You know, both Lebron and they D

1152
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: in the postseason that terrific defensive ratings and their defense

1153
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: has been flying around when those who are on the court,

1154
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: and for Denver, it's just not the same with Marie

1155
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: and yokich Um excellent young players, remember still twenty three

1156
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: and twenty five. They're gonna give you a lot on

1157
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: offense and screen roll, but they don't have that same

1158
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: impact defensively in Lebron ND do so like I don't.

1159
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: To me, I'm not worried about Denver's offense overall. Like

1160
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: same thing with Houston, same thing with Portland. Those are

1161
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: really good offenses, but the Lakers defense is so good

1162
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: that they can limit them in those defenses. Whether it's

1163
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: US in Portland or now Denver, they haven't had the

1164
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: answers on their side of the floor on defense, and that's,

1165
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: to me, is the big difference. The other thing, we

1166
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: saw a Rondo game last round, You've seen a Marquis

1167
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Morris game. I felt like last night was the Dwight

1168
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: Howard game. He barely played against the Rockets because the matchups,

1169
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: and it almost felt like Vogel was being like, hey,

1170
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: let's throw him out there. You know, we didn't really

1171
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: run him last series, and Dwight Howard looked like the

1172
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: superstar that he was, like, I don't know ten years ago.

1173
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, what are performance I mean, if listen, if

1174
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers are gonna get that from Dwight and you

1175
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: know thirty from Anthony Davis, Mike, there is no way

1176
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Denver's winning a game. Well, so then here's the thing

1177
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: though about them. They don't need that from Dwight every night.

1178
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Were two or two years great because next game it

1179
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: could be somebody else and in this case that there

1180
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: were other guys that chipped any course, m Keith Morris.

1181
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: It's his first three three's right, which was always just

1182
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: a huge boost off any bench for somebody that's gonna

1183
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: shoot like that. What what Dwight I thinking stick in

1184
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: this series is that he played really well against Yoki

1185
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Also, so this this wasn't just like, oh,

1186
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: you know what, Dwight doesn't played the while. This was yeah,

1187
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: there's things which he has the physicality, um the defensive

1188
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: in intelligence, be knowing where to place themselves on the

1189
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: floor and knowing how to bother Yokich like Yokis will

1190
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: have really good games against him as well. Again, I

1191
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: think that that will flip some but Dwight does have

1192
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: that unique body um, that unique mom to be able

1193
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: to bottle. So, yeah, what I would think at this

1194
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: point if Freksvogel won't. He's been pretty poy and I

1195
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: think understandably so with his lineup. I don't think they'll

1196
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: tell us until he has to have heard before Game three,

1197
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if Dwight starts just like

1198
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: he started the second half on in Game two. Interesting

1199
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: we're talking, Mike Trudel, Spectrum Sports Net Lakers beat reporter. Alright, Mike,

1200
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: let me do a quick autopsy on the Clippers. I

1201
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: gotta say one of the more stunning collapses I've seen,

1202
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: not in just NBA but in sports. I mean games five, six,

1203
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: and seven. They let it halftime, Doc Rivers, I mean,

1204
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag in

1205
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: the second half of any of those games. I'm still

1206
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: stunned at this, and I mean it's part of me though,

1207
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: is like man, I kind of wish the Clippers were

1208
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: here because this would have been a series. It would

1209
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: have been a great talking point. And now it's like,

1210
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see the ratings being big. I

1211
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of juice Sunday night for Game

1212
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: two of this up against you know, Sunday night football

1213
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: and all that. I don't know, you disappointed the Clippers

1214
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: aren't here. Well, also, all season long, I probably, like

1215
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: you and like many I did think that it was

1216
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: ultimately going to come down the Lakers Clippers because I

1217
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: thought they were the two most talented teams. And I

1218
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: two was very surprised that the Clippers blew the three

1219
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: one series lead. I mean, as you said that, we

1220
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: can now in hindsight, we can do the off top

1221
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: see and we can look ahead and say, okay, well

1222
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: they don't have quite that on courts right. Leadership structure,

1223
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Kauai and paul Um a little

1224
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: bit different in that aspect from Lebron m as a leader.

1225
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, Lou Williams comes off the bench with treads

1226
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: and they kind of run their own two man games.

1227
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's a bit of of disparate parts going

1228
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: out there, and they didn't play that much together all told,

1229
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: in the roster of the regular season, and yet it

1230
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: still should have been enough, you know, to be Denver,

1231
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: and so you give Denver some credit, but there's no

1232
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: question that they have to take a lot of criticism

1233
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: as they did, um as don't continue to And is

1234
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: it disappointing though? I mean, I think some a from

1235
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: a Lakers standpoint, and and that you know, not I'm

1236
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: somebody who's life is better if they win. Um It's

1237
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: not that I don't reach in that sense because I'm

1238
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: trying to have to stay in my reporter lane. But

1239
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: there's no question my life is better. I mean, I

1240
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they're sad about it, right, I think

1241
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: they're I think all they care about And this is

1242
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: part of kind of Lebron's the whole m VP thing

1243
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: as well, Like they really just care about winning the title,

1244
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: and so is can they look at it as as

1245
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: their path, you know, one really good, potential good team

1246
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: that they don't have to be. I don't know, like

1247
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: maybe that's the case, Jason, but it is. It is

1248
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: still to me a little bit shocking in that sense too,

1249
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: when you look back and you just look at the roster,

1250
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: you think, wait, how did how did that really happen?

1251
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: It is? It is pretty striking, all right. Let me

1252
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: ask quickly, Mike about the m v P. I've been consistent. Um,

1253
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: I've said Lebron is the m v P, and I

1254
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: know everybody says, but the stats, it's a regular season award,

1255
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I get that. To me, it's you know,

1256
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: the word valuable. You pull Lebroad off the Lakers. I

1257
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: don't know if they make the playoffs in the West,

1258
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: Okay they have, you probably say they miss it. You

1259
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: pull out Janice off the Bucks and they're still probably

1260
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: five six in the East. Your thoughts on the m

1261
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: v P and Lebron using in his motivation, Yeah, so

1262
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: you're one of a few of us. Okay, so me you,

1263
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: I know, George Sadano and David Mannament are a couple

1264
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: of guys that think too that that would have had

1265
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 1: the Lebron's MVP. And I'll kind of make part of

1266
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: your argument as well. To me, you know, the whole

1267
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: difference and the reason why Janni's one not just the

1268
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: m v P, but the defensive players the year were

1269
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: the net rating stats okay, And so how did Milwaukee

1270
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: has its historic net rating? It's ten, it's a it's

1271
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: about plus panic I think ten point seven. And then

1272
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, the bubble stuff kind of got in the way.

1273
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: The Lakers were second in about seven and the difference

1274
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: and you mentioned that some and so where the Bucks

1275
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: would have would have finished in the East without year's

1276
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: les's because the East was terrible at the bottoment conference,

1277
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: like Brooklyn was the seventh seed and they were several

1278
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: games below five hundreds. Look at the seventh seed in

1279
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: the West, the Dallas Mavericks. Okay, there were like ten

1280
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: plus games over five hundreds. So if you look at

1281
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's game log, and I did this on my personal

1282
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Twitter the other day at Mike Tredell, that there were

1283
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: like twelve games where they be Charlotte, New York, um

1284
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: on Chicago, right, Orlando on a non down the list

1285
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: by twenty plus points, the Knicks twice Detroit and and

1286
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: that to me is what made their net ratings so ridiculous,

1287
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And in turn, it made danaces that ratings ridiculous. And

1288
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Janie said, playa, I love him. I thought he was

1289
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: second in the MVP, right, So like that, but that

1290
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: to me made that like the deciding factor for a

1291
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: lot of voters. Oh well, if you compare all their

1292
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: bad staffs, and is is that rating his offensive rating?

1293
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Its wind shares? You know, is all of that like

1294
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: those stats were all better and they used those as

1295
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: a tiebreaker to leave if the stats are close, and

1296
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: I think they weren't close, right, Lebron, that they can

1297
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: assist sportificially, all that the difference is who is the

1298
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: better player. It's still for this season, the tiebreaker for

1299
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: MVP should be best player and Lebron is just still

1300
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: a better player until Jane can really get that jump

1301
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: shot and the Bucks can count on him finding a

1302
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: way to score down the stretch, or they get him

1303
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: a better number two like the Lakers do have with

1304
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Avis. Like Lebron, the tiebreakers should go to the

1305
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: best players. To me, about the bargain. And here's what's

1306
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: even more galling about that, Mike, when Lebron was in

1307
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: the East, everybody used that against him. Well, the East

1308
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: just garbage. Of course, Lebron's the number one seed. But

1309
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Lebron didn't get the m v p uh in the

1310
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: last like six years when he was spent a lot

1311
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: of time in Cleveland because the East was weak. But

1312
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: now we're giving it to Janice Mike conspiracy theory time.

1313
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to tinfoil hat garbage on you.

1314
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: But Mike Lebron has four m v ps, Jordan has five.

1315
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: The media votes on the m v P. The media

1316
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: is all invested in Jordan. They grew up watching him.

1317
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: It's like he never missed a shot. Greatest player ever ever, Ever,

1318
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: we don't want Lebron be smirching that. Am I going overboard? Mike?

1319
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: I think you are. I know I by the way

1320
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: Emmy Jordan's stand, I grew up in that same mare.

1321
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: I grew up in a place where there wasn't a

1322
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,759
Speaker 1: professional team yet in Minnesota, so I just watched the Bulls.

1323
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: So I was hoping that way too. I don't think

1324
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: it's all that I do. I really think it's as

1325
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: simple as like now, the media vote is much much

1326
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 1: better than it used to be. Like the all NBA

1327
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: teams were really good for the most part, with a

1328
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: couple of exceptions, like I wouldn't had Yakum on mine.

1329
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: I got white people Um gave him some votes. But

1330
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: like I, so, I think the media has come a

1331
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: long way. The only problem is, like, once a narrative

1332
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: gets hold from some of the smarter media members and

1333
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: I don't want to name who some of those names are,

1334
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: but once those people said, oh, you know what, it's

1335
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: got to be honest this year because of X y Z,

1336
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: then the rest of the media are a little bit

1337
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: scared of saying we holdess. Hold on a second. Here's

1338
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the case to Lebron and here's why the narrative that

1339
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: you and I just I think I think that has

1340
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: a little more to do to do it than anything.

1341
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: You've got too many MVPs. And by the way, here's

1342
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: the good news for the product. He can still win

1343
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: finals MVP. Okay, that like in that if he like

1344
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: if we're talking about his legacy, another entity would have

1345
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: been great. And there's no question that that would be annoying,

1346
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 1: and I get it, like especially when things were closed,

1347
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: but one of another finals MVP. That's the real thing.

1348
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: I think they can supplement his legacy so that the

1349
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: media members it's not win horse. He does come on

1350
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: this show, Um, it's got to be Zach Low And

1351
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: I know Zach and we're friendly, we talk. I've texted

1352
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: him Um, but he is a smart guy and he's

1353
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: been on your honest all year, and I think you're right.

1354
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: People just fall in line because he said that, Oh

1355
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: he's smart, analytical. We gotta follow his lead. All right.

1356
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to text him right after this. Yeah.

1357
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: So there, So there are several guys and not just

1358
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 1: not just Stack that might be one of them, but yeah,

1359
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: that like that, that is that thing to be part

1360
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: of what the narrative is. It looks he does do

1361
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: the homework more than those two. But there's some other

1362
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: there's some other folks that really wanted all the games

1363
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: to break it down and I forgot that is part

1364
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: of what happened this year. Good stuff. Mike Tradell follow

1365
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: him at Lakers Reporter on Twitter. Really insightful stuff. Thanks

1366
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: a lot, Mike. Enjoy the rest of the series. Alright.

1367
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,679
Speaker 1: That was Mike Tridel. Listen. He made a great point.

1368
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: We're digging into it a little more, but first we

1369
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 1: gotta go to Isaac loewen Bron with what's trending in supports? Oh, Jason,

1370
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: I got some real interesting stuff for you regarding college football.

1371
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: We start, of course, with the Big Ten releasing its

1372
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 1: schedule this morning, Week one featuring Ohio State hosting Nebraska,

1373
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Michigan at Minnesota, the Michigan Ohio State game to take

1374
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: place at the Horseshoe in Columbus, and the regular season

1375
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: finale on December the twelfth will be the first time

1376
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: the Michigan Ohio State game is ever gonna be played

1377
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: in December. Now, Jason, to answer the point that you

1378
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: brought earlier, the week after that, the Big Ten is

1379
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: going to hold what it's calling Big Ten champions Week.

1380
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: That is, the week of December nineteen, in which all

1381
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: forts and of its teams will play a ninth game.

1382
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Here's how it's gonna work. You'll have the first place

1383
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: team in the East against the first place team in

1384
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: the West in the Big Ten Championship game. But then

1385
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: you're going to have every second place team or every

1386
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: team face its opposite finishing team in the other divisions. So,

1387
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: for example, the third place team in the Eastern Division

1388
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,839
Speaker 1: will play the third place team in the Western Division.

1389
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: So that's what they're going to do. They're gonna have

1390
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: a bonus week to play a ninth game. Now here's

1391
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: where it gets even more interesting. The Twitter account from

1392
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio just

1393
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: tweeted out a couple of interesting items. First, Dan hearing

1394
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: from source that conference officials, upset with the Nebraska governor,

1395
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: athletic director and coach for being outspoken, intentionally handed them

1396
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 1: a difficult schedule that starts out with trip to Ohio

1397
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: State and then hosting was Hanson at home in the

1398
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: second game of the season. Also, the Dan Patrick Show

1399
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: account tweeting Dan Hearing from source that Packed Twelve conference

1400
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: will begin playing football November. The seven and teams will

1401
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 1: play six games, followed by Championship weekend in which in

1402
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: which every team plays in a seeded format like the

1403
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: Big Ten. Again, those items tweeted out from the Dan

1404
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Show Twitter account moments ago. So that's the latest

1405
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: from the Big Ten and the Pack Twelve. What about

1406
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: the Mid American Conference, Yes, the MAC is showing a

1407
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: statement a short time ago reading quote the Mid American

1408
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: Conference Council of Presidents met this morning, returned to play.

1409
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Models in the sport of football were reviewed, no decisions

1410
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: were made, and we will continue examination of this matter

1411
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: during a meeting next week. Finally, Jason at the NBA,

1412
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 1: Adrian war Zanowski reports Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Brown

1413
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: is interviewing for the Pacers coaching job. He was previously,

1414
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: of course, the head coach of the Lakers and the

1415
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers. Back to you, thank you, Isaac. Back here

1416
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. It's me Jason McIntyre coming to

1417
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. It's

1418
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 1: easy to save or more on car insurance with Geico.

1419
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Go to Geico dot com call seven Auto. The only

1420
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: hard part figuring out which way is easier. All right,

1421
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: So Mike Trudell made some really smart points about Lebron

1422
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: and the m v P, and I'm with him. I mean,

1423
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: when you look at the bottom of Milwaukee schedules a joke,

1424
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean you're blowing out joke teams. Your net ratings skyrockets,

1425
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: and all these advanced stat guys are looking at the stats,

1426
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: and Lebron hasn't played as many of those joker teams

1427
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: because he's in the West. Presto. Let's hand be honest

1428
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: the m v P. But my beef is it keeps

1429
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,959
Speaker 1: changing year to year. It's like, what is the award?

1430
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: When do we hand it out? What are we basing

1431
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 1: it on? There's no criteria. It's just like, oh, let's

1432
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: pick someone other than Lebron. And I've been critical of

1433
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 1: Lebron at times. I'm not just some Lebron. I don't

1434
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: think I could say that phrase. But um yeah, I'm

1435
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: not some sickle fan who thinks he's the best. I

1436
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: did think he was the best this year. I thought

1437
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: prior Kevin Durant was the best player in the league.

1438
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: K D gets hurt the doors open. I likened it

1439
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: um to a boxing champ who's wearing the belt that

1440
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: he gets arrested, has to go to jail, he has

1441
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: to give up the belt. Comes out of jail, he's

1442
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: no longer the champ. He was inactive. Kevin Durant had

1443
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 1: the belt busted up as Achilles was out. No longer

1444
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: the champ. You can't just automatically come back and get it.

1445
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: You gotta climb back in the ring and get it.

1446
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, I always

1447
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 1: Sam will lament the college football weekend. Oh my gosh,

1448
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: everything is canceled. Just devastating, But at least we have

1449
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: the Big ten sched you to talk about. That's next year.

1450
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: But first a word from Farmers. You get a whole

1451
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of something with Farmers policy perks so much, I'm

1452
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to speed things up. You can get the

1454
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: policy if you've been claimed free for three consecutive years. Also,

1455
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: why is for pre successive years three years great? And

1456
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: what's known to insurance fancis to claim free three peek.

1457
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Get a whole lot of something with Farmers policy perks.

1458
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,799
Speaker 1: Start with a quote by calling one eight hundred farmers

1459
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 1: are farmers not for the legal something not available in

1460

Speaker 1: terms and conditions underwritten by FARMA. Struck of fire insurance

1462
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: exchanges are affiliate. Blue EMU Maximum Pain Relief works fast

01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: and you won't stink. It's pharmacists recommended odor free pain

1464
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: relief from muscle pain, backaches, strained sprains, or even arthritis.

1465
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: There's no stinging or burning involved. It's simple pain relief.

1466
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: Blue EMU Maximum Pain Relief works fast and you won't stink.

1467
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: So um, Mike Trudel, Lakers reporters just gave us a

1468
01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: ton of good stuff. I think we'll we'll sink our

1469
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 1: teeth into it. Next hour. By the way, Gavin came

1470
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: to me with a great trade idea for the Clippers.

1471
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: Wait till you hear this. We'll do that at the

1472
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: top of the hour. I guess, um, because they have

1473
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: to do something. But I want to quickly pivot to

1474
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: college football. Here we have resident Big Ten slash Big

1475
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 1: Twelve correspondent Iowa Sam checking in the Big Twelve. I'm sorry,

1476
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: the Big Ten schedule is out. Sam. What are you

1477
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: more excited for the Big Ten schedule released today or

1478
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: the actual college football games on the lineup today? Uh,

1479
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. They're both. I mean, listen, when you're

1480
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: talking about a schedule release in this year where there's

1481
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: no fans, um, it's you know, it's it matters. But

1482
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: I just think that it's not where you play, it's

1483
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 1: who you play that's important in the Big Ten, UM,

1484
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: and basically any conference, because there's you're not going to

1485
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: l s U where there's like a crazy atmosphere, but

1486
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 1: you do have to play l s U. Right, you

1487
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 1: either have to play them at home or on the road,

1488
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: but it's kind of a neutral site thing. Um, So

1489
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 1: it's a matter of who you play, and then you know,

1490
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: you look at the college games today, Uh, you know,

1491
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: there's yeah, not a whole lot to get excited about.

1492
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: I think I said my games were, oh boy, um

1493
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: Army b Y. You that that that was the only

1494
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: top twenty five matchup. It is postponed. I I yeah,

1495
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: oh wait, no, Miami Louisville Miami Louisville is the best

1496
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,560
Speaker 1: game of the day. I also said U c F

1497
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech in wake Forest at North Carolina State, just

1498
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 1: because the line was a little smaller. But yeah, not

1499
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: not a super exciting slate today. A lot of the

1500
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 1: Big twelve is off, like the best teams Texas Oklahoma.

1501
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: Is that because of its breaks? No, it's scheduling. They're

1502
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 1: just there's just a lot of teams off today. So

1503
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: I was saying, before you get too excited, I mean,

1504
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: I know we're going through that, like transition from summer

1505
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: to fall. The weather is still pretty warm around the country.

1506
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: I wish it we have a change out here, maybe gill,

1507
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: little rain, maybe cool off a little bit. I just

1508
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: do wonder if there is a flu season, and there's

1509
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: a flu season every year and there is more COVID,

1510
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 1: and part of me is like I'm reluctant to commit

1511
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: to getting into college football because I do know what

1512
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: could be coming in a month, right, I know, like

1513
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,719
Speaker 1: the temperate enthusiasm were looking at the Big Ten schedule,

1514
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: especially when you're seeing a lot of teams, especially in

1515
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,959
Speaker 1: the South and Southeast, that are having to postpone because

1516
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: of outbreaks or quote unquote unavailability, like you know Georgia

1517
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: Southern having a third of its roster gone unavailable either

1518
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: because of positive outbreaks, are having to contact traces. Here's

1519
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: the thing that's going to help the Pack twelve, the

1520
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: Big Ten, and pretty much every big boy who can

1521
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 1: afford the testing is getting this rapid testing, antigen testing

1522
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: that's going to allow them to not have to contact

1523
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 1: trace as much. It's like you'll be able to find

1524
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: out fifteen minutes you even have like a little bit

1525
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: of the virus in them, and if they're good to go,

1526
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: they can get guys on the field a lot faster.

1527
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: And so you're having this problem right now where these

1528
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,600
Speaker 1: teams are having a few cases pop up, Like you

1529
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: look at U n C. Charlotte and they had like

1530
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: one offensive lineman who tested positive and then they had

1531
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 1: to postpone or forfeit their game because they couldn't drum

1532
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: up enough offensive lineman take the field because I think

1533
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: they were exposed to their their teammate. Yeah, and then

1534
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: did the other guys test positive or they were just

1535
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: like I'm not sure, but I mean, there's just this

1536
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: issue now where if you're a small conference, it's maybe

1537
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: it's too expensive to test every day. Maybe that it's

1538
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: just I don't know, not practical for some reason, but

1539
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna cost you. Like how many times

1540
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: now has Baylor Houston been postponed? And that's a great

1541
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: that would be a great game this week, but unfortunately

1542
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: I believe it's also postponed for the second week in row. Listen,

1543
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,440
Speaker 1: it's disappointing. Iowa Sam like the NFL by the way,

1544
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: COVID NFL is going off fine. I don't hear any

1545
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 1: positive tests anywhere. Are you a little bit suspicious though?

1546
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: Of like all these thy tests or whatever, msted and

1547
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: really these guys aren't in a bubble and there's like

1548
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: only three positive tests. It just seems like those numbers

1549
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: are just not like these guys are going out partying

1550
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: every night. Yeah, but then how come how is it

1551
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: any different than the MLB where you had all these

1552
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: positive case explosions beginning this season because they're traveling. Yeah,

1553
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: but these games are traveling. Yeah, they're only doing the

1554
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: like one day for baseball. It's like you're traveling I

1555
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: guess two days a week. And yeah, NFL is doing great,

1556
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: like I honestly, my my big takeaway from week one

1557
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,719
Speaker 1: was I didn't hear COVID or it wasn't like a factor.

1558
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 1: And then like the social justice stuff is kind of

1559
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 1: in your face in the NBA, and I know that

1560
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 1: the ratings are down and people want to attribute that.

1561
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit, but not as much

1562
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,719
Speaker 1: as everybody thinks. There was none of that with the NFL.

1563
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 1: I didn't hear any of the social Week one, wasn't it.

1564
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: It was just like no COVID and all the games

1565
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: went off without a hit. Yeah, there was no like, oh, look,

1566
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: all these guys are kneeling and this is like there

1567
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:55,759
Speaker 1: was none of that, and like if they want to kneel,

1568
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: that's fine too, I get it. That's cool. Alright, coming

1569
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: up third hour, we'll do NFL and NBA. Like that's

1570
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: what we do here, folks, that's what we do sport

1571
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: our number three here on Fox Sports Radio nine AM

1572
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, A nice sunny day. We uh,

1573
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: we seem to have gotten past the tough part of

1574
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: the poor air quality and um, you know the orange sun,

1575
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: which was it was just freaky like last week and

1576
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 1: earlier this week. I had to stop running in the mornings.

1577
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I know, first world problems, but it was it was

1578
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: very awkward, like you couldn't go outside and do anything.

1579
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: And I have friends in Oregon who wrote on like Facebook,

1580
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: like you can't go get the mail without like your

1581
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: lungs being like, oh my gosh, what the hell is

1582
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: going on? Uh? It was, it's that bad out here

1583
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. Of course, we had an earthquake

1584
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 1: last night, um Los Angeles. I think it was like eleven.

1585
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: I was fast asleep, but I'm a light sleeper, and

1586
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: I feel the room kind of shaking, like whoa, whoa.

1587
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: I you know, opened my eyes. My first thing that

1588
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I look at is the TV. And if I could

1589
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: see the TV moving a little, I know it's an earthquake.

1590
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: So I could see the TV just shaking a little bit,

1591
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 1: So I reach out with my arm and I touched

1592
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 1: my wife on the shoulder and I look at her

1593
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: and she opens her eyes and she's like, earthquake. I

1594
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: was like yeah, And we sit there and shaken and

1595
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: shake it and it just stops. Okay, man, back to sleep.

1596
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: And I know what. Trust me. Before I moved out

1597
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: here in two six, yeah, I was like, oh no,

1598
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to go out there earthquakes, man, are

1599
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: you crazy? Los Angeles could follow to the ocean one day,

1600
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: and then you move out here and you don't ever

1601
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: think about earthquakes except when they happen, and then maybe

1602
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 1: in the twelve to twenty four hours after they happen,

1603
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: and then it's like back to life, Like it's just

1604
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: they're a little weird, no doubt about it. But I

1605

1609
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: studio which is still standing. I don't see any large

1610
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: cracks in the ground. The hollywoodization of earthquakes, you know,

1611
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: makes you think you know the San Andreas fault. Yes,

1612
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: thank you, sam Uh And I, by the way, I

1613
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: did watch the rock movie was I think it was

1614
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: titled San Andreas, which listen, it's it's a movie, it's

1615
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: Hollywood whatever, but listen, it's earthquakes. You just don't really

1616
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: think about them. But at any rate, Um, it's high

1617
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: noon on the East Coast now and college football starting.

1618
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: And if this were any other year on the calendar

1619
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: since I've been alive, it would be awesome college football

1620
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: games dotting the schedule and you would turn on maybe

1621
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 1: see a nice Note Dame game, maybe a good early

1622
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: SEC tilt. And I guess what really hurts is, when

1623
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: I was a young guy in the eighties, it wasn't

1624
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: all about night games. They would put the games on

1625
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: during the day, and as you get to the nineties,

1626
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: the night games obviously look cooler with the lights in

1627
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:21,400
Speaker 1: the stadium, and um, it got to be a destination.

1628
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 1: You want to play night games. And then you get

1629
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: to the two thousand's and next thing you know, there's

1630
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: like the three best games of the day are on

1631
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: at night. And now because there's fifty games televised the day,

1632
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 1: it feels like it's lost its luster. And now you

1633
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: tossed in COVID and the postponements and the cancelations and guys,

1634
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I look at the college football schedule. It's

1635
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: a little disappointing. Iowa Sam. Now, obviously Iowa Sam's all geeked.

1636
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: I see him. We got four TVs here in the studio.

1637
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: He's like playing traffic cop what we should put where?

1638
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:57,560
Speaker 1: And I just kind of tossed my hands up. I'm like,

1639
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: can we talk about should we talk about the brought

1640
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: in the m v P, should we go back to

1641
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: the NFL? I would say, make me care about college

1642
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: football today. Uh, it's hard to do, hard to do

1643
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: to make it care about the college football today, because

1644
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: it's really nice when everyone starts at around the same time. Um. Otherwise,

1645
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, I've kind of equated to a marathon where

1646
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: some people are starting at the zero mile marker and

1647
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 1: the other people are like like the big ten, the

1648
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: pack twelve, and the sec you're going to start it,

1649
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,599
Speaker 1: you know, at the hour or at the mile ten

1650
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: or a mile fourteen. So it's different. It's different. But

1651
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: if you like watching college football in general, you can

1652
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: get down with Tulsa in Oklahoma. Gavin, do you have

1653
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: any money on any college football games today? I do not. Yeah,

1654
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't have a sin. I had a guy, you

1655
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: guys know him, Sports Cheetah tossed me some picks last week.

1656
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: I just put pizza money on three of them. Did

1657
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: I didn't even know, like who was playing all this

1658
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 1: up over three. I was like, all right, let me

1659
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: just wait for the real games. I'm sure, listen, he's

1660
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: a good gambler. I'm sure he did well. But I

1661
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: just took three of like the ten he sent me.

1662
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: Um Miami Louisville the big game tonight, Louisville one and

1663
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. I hear Louisville, I'm like, oh, so,

1664
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: remember when Lamar Jackson was their quarterback and like they

1665
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: played against uh, it was it Clubson. It was like

1666
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Lamar Jackson was just an awesome game Saturday night.

1667
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry again that game this weekend in the NFL. Yeah,

1668
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: great point. Maybe we should transition at that point to

1669
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 1: U to the NFL. Um. Yeah, I'm just so proud

1670
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: of what the league is doing with how they're handling COVID.

1671
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 1: There are no outbreaks, and in college it's like, listen,

1672
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. And you had ed ogeron come out

1673
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 1: at Iowa Sam and said like, oh yeah, I guess

1674
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: of our team has had it, so we're good to go.

1675
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever. I don't want to harp on COVID.

1676
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: And he mentioned something about Larry Scott and I'm like, listen,

1677
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 1: I know he's a partner with the Fox of One.

1678
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 1: Like everything coming out of Larry Scott's mouth is just like,

1679
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 1: be quiet. You make four million dollars a year to stopped. Well,

1680
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: let's listen to him, and okay, fine, fine, let's go ahead. Cautious.

1681
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: We have been more cautious. And I think, you know,

1682
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: the values in every part of the country are a

1683
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: little bit different, the priorities and the pressures that people feel.

1684
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 1: And I think our league, and there's something I'm proud

1685
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: of with our schools, have wanted to error if they

1686
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: were going to err on the side of safety, even

1687
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: if we would come at a significant cost. M hm.

1688
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have been so dismissive that I agree with, right,

1689
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 1: he is echoing when we were talking about where certain

1690
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: parts of the country it seems are maybe just like hey,

1691
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: let's go play ball. In other places are like we

1692
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 1: can play ball if we do it. This way, especially

1693
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: in a state like California, it's more litigious and um,

1694
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, or again, they're a little bit more of

1695
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: a I don't like, I don't use this term disparagingly,

1696
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: but more of a nanny state, like we're going to

1697
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: make sure that these rules are in place before this.

1698
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Oregon is in nanny state. So um, you guys know,

1699
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 1: I went to play poker with some buddies, you know,

1700
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: and these are all like local guys who aren't seeing

1701
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: a million people. They're hanging around like same groups of people,

1702
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 1: which is safer, and it's all outside. But like I

1703
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:20,640
Speaker 1: show up to play poker, I got the mask, I

1704
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 1: got the hand gel. You know, I'm ready to go,

1705
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: and nobody else to wear in a mask. It's outside,

1706
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,560
Speaker 1: we're never rely not indoors. And then last night we

1707
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: showed up to watch the Lakers game at a buddy's

1708
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 1: house and they you know, we brought our kids. It

1709
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 1: was gonna be a little cookout. It's outdoors. We show

1710
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: up with the masks and like, you know, nobody else

1711
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 1: to wear in a mask. My son's like, hey, can

1712
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: I take off the mask? Dad? It's like all right,

1713
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're outside. But then they want to play

1714
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: video games inside. I'm like, let's not do that. And

1715
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 1: if you do, insist, you got to wear a mask.

1716
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: And you know. And again we've seen these people plenty

1717
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: during the last five months. The kids hang out after

1718
01:28:55,880 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: school and stuff like we're being safe. Uh, they're being safe,

1719
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 1: and you still need that social interaction, like and that's

1720
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: why I can't totally blame the kids were being safe,

1721
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 1: but at the same time, we're having fun and I

1722
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: feel like a bunch of other people and as Larry's

1723
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 1: Gott said, in certain parts of the country, they just

1724
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: don't care. Well, I don't think it's they don't care.

1725
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,799
Speaker 1: I think it's they they have a value based system

1726
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: on like what they value. So for a lot of people,

1727
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: not hugging your parents for six months is kind of

1728
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: not acceptable. Like it's just it's just we're not going

1729
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: to live that way. Okay, you're a religious guy. Bible

1730
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 1: says plenty of stuff about living in fear. Right who

1731
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 1: adds a minute to their life, you know, And and

1732
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: so there's a there's a balance between being safe and

1733
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 1: smart and also how do you want to live your life?

1734
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: I know, for me, one of our favorite breakfast spots

1735
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 1: out here in the valley, they're they're outside, uh eating

1736
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 1: right now? You know that they have the outside patio.

1737
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit in a parking lot. I

1738
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 1: don't it ruined my like honestly, it's not like are

1739
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 1: their cars passing by, there's cars. You're sitting next to

1740
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,639
Speaker 1: a parked car like, that's not entice. I would rather

1741
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: be at home and just make breakfast like that one

1742
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 1: of those. But the the counter is if they if

1743
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 1: they don't offer that, does the restaurant close? Well no,

1744
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 1: I I funnily agree with that. That's what you know.

1745
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, no, No, I'm one of those things where

1746
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 1: can we get back to some normalcy like the difference

1747
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 1: between you know, my parents live in Orange County, where

1748
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: it's much more um allowable to be inside. Over there

1749
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 1: in l A you can't. You cannot set foot inside

1750
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 1: a restaurant right now. But so here's a question, are

1751
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 1: your parents going to eat indoors? Oh yeah? Oh yeah.

1752
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,600
Speaker 1: My my mom last night told me that she and

1753
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 1: her best friend were they couldn't wait to go inside

1754
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 1: to a restaurant. Yeah, the yeah, the my parents are

1755
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: not you know, worrying about wearing a mask, you know everything.

1756
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 1: So would you go indoors to eat at a restaurant?

1757
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 1: Now I would? My girlfriend wouldn't so interesting. So how

1758
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 1: do you guys handle that debate? It's not a debate,

1759
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 1: it's it's you, do you want to make her comfortable? No? No,

1760
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 1: I know, I I do what works with her. So

1761
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,559
Speaker 1: whatever is comfortable. We have a big her birthdays in

1762
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Her family is a little different

1763
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 1: with the mass, so we're gonna appease them, make them,

1764
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, as comfortable as we can. And that's that's

1765
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: the easiest way to do it. I found to not

1766
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. It's

1767
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 1: not it's not a hindrance on me to appease you

1768
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 1: in that aspect of sitting. I love being outside, and

1769
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 1: that's just like sitting in a parking lot. That's what

1770
01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 1: he's saying on asphalt. It's just well you got that

1771
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: just sitting to chair on. Yes, but I'm saying like

1772
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: your foot is on a white line for you know,

1773
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 1: but please support your restaurants. Your local restaurants do agree

1774
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 1: with that. So yes, I played golf Thursday, quick round

1775
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 1: and a nine whole course. And um, the group of

1776
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 1: guys I play with again, I have seen them all

1777
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 1: during the quarantine and you know, we've hung out on

1778
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: the beach and all this stuff. They wore masks the

1779
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 1: entire time, did not take it off at all. I

1780
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:10,640
Speaker 1: made a mistake and brought like a one of my

1781
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: thick good masks and it was just heavy walking around

1782
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,719
Speaker 1: on the course, and I would pull the mask down

1783
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 1: or put it in my pocket at times, and I

1784
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 1: was so put it back on, but I'm not like

1785
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 1: right next to the guy golf, you know, you're spaced out.

1786
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,759
Speaker 1: I looked at the other groups. Nobody wear a mask,

1787
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: like it's become like a personal choice, like do you

1788
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 1: want to wear a mask? And nobody said to me, hey,

1789
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 1: can you put your mask on? Um? And I wouldn't

1790
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,760
Speaker 1: say that somebody put the mask on. I would let

1791
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 1: the signal by like stepping away from them and put

1792
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: my mask on. If that happened, it's just keavin. I

1793
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: have zero confidence that this is gonna be done here

1794
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: in the next few months or even year. Like I

1795
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 1: know that there's supposedly, uh you know, the vaccines coming.

1796
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:55,680
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be wearing masks for the rest

1797
01:32:55,720 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: of the year and probably into a are you guys

1798
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:04,719
Speaker 1: mentally prepared for that? I remember when this all started

1799
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: in the mass started being you know, brought upon us,

1800
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 1: and well it was yeah, late March, early April when

1801
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I think the masks, you know, discussion, because immediately they

1802
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: said you don't need, you don't need. But then I

1803
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: remember people saying, hey, we're gonna be masks wearing masks

1804
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: regularly in September, and I thought that was like, no way,

1805
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 1: Like I can't see, you know, but you know, who

1806
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 1: knows Whenever this vaccine hopefully comes a back comes out,

1807
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: hopefully sooner than later. But it's interesting, it's interesting. A

1808
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: little go ahead. I was gonna say, we could drive

1809
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: our numbers down significantly if everybody wore masks and wears them,

1810
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: wore them consistently. I guess the thing that really angers people.

1811
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 1: You see these videos of people in Walmart and all

1812
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: these stores are like, I'm not word of mask, and

1813
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:52,600
Speaker 1: they get an arguments, and I think one of the

1814
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: major reasons is because you can't see the enemy, you

1815
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 1: just you have no idea, who has it, no no clue,

1816
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: and so well, the numbers don't back up a lot

1817
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 1: of what the media is telling you about the importance

1818
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: of mask, like the the I just don't think the

1819
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: science is there to show you that. The majority of

1820
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,680
Speaker 1: medical professionals say wearing a mask mask is important, then

1821
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:18,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to take their words because they have more

1822
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: education than night and I'm with you on that, and like, yes,

1823
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 1: a lot of them say that. But then and the

1824
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 1: problem and this ties into gambling in sports, there is

1825
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:28,759
Speaker 1: and I told you Gavin this before the show. There's

1826
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: so much information right now when you want to analyze

1827
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 1: an NFL game that you don't know do I take this?

1828
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 1: What matters more? Who do I trust? The same applies

1829
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 1: to this mass stuff like listen, yeah, I want to

1830
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 1: listen to the doctors. But the mental health thing is

1831
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 1: a real thing. Yeah, that's different. I think that's different

1832
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:49,679
Speaker 1: for like the like there are a segment of people

1833
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,360
Speaker 1: out there and say, yeah, you don't really need the basket,

1834
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 1: doesn't do much and that's just like a handful of

1835
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 1: doctors say that, but the majority say, hey, man, just

1836
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: wear the damn thing. So I I'm with you, Sam,

1837
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 1: I will wear it. And yeah, there is a mental

1838
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 1: health aspect that's really bad. And you know, my kids

1839
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: come on from school. Guys, I'm I'm gonna be honest.

1840
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,320
Speaker 1: They've been on zooms all day on a screen that's

1841
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 1: never happened in Americans. There's going to be studies on

1842
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 1: your children and this generation and the impact they have socially,

1843
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: because having a conversation with someone wearing a mask is

1844
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: so different than the norm because you don't know what

1845
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 1: they're really thinking because you can't see their face. And

1846
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,519
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the last note is I felt

1847
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,679
Speaker 1: like the generation that grew up with the social media

1848
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: that when it was just starting, like when you if

1849
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: you were getting social media like two thousand nine, you

1850
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 1: were in middle school and high school when the iPhone

1851
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,960
Speaker 1: everybody had one. Those kids from like two thousand nine,

1852
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: there were the guinea pigs for all this stuff, TikTok, Instagram,

1853
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 1: all that crap. I don't know what the impact is

1854
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:55,559
Speaker 1: going to be, Gavin of my kids being on zooms

1855
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: for four or five hours a day. So as soon

1856
01:35:57,439 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: as they get home, we let them go hang out

1857
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:02,639
Speaker 1: with their friends, go rider bike, go play, we'll do sports.

1858
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 1: We'll do this. Just stay off a screen for a

1859
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio.

1860
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get back to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing or

1861
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers Nuggets. We haven't talked a second of heat Celtics.

1862
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 1: I will dig into some player props, hopefully give out

1863
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 1: some winners like yesterday's three and O keep it locked

1864
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. We're back Fox Sports Radio. Um,

1865
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: we haven't done a single solitary second on Celtics heat. Gavin,

1866
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: do you have any thoughts. I'm looking at the player props. Um.

1867
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 1: The more I watched the Heat, they just make me

1868
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 1: think of the O four pistons every time, except there.

1869
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 1: They don't they play as well defense. They're the oup there. Right,

1870
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 1: there's just an offensive machine. Um. Interesting angle here. So

1871
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: I had Bam out of Bio over four and a

1872
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 1: half assist last game. He had four at halftime. He

1873
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: got zero assists in the second half. Um, I just

1874
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't have a good grip on this series. Man.

1875
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,679
Speaker 1: I think the play here for me is Celtics first quarter.

1876
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 1: Celtics have come out both first quarters in one Heat.

1877
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:13,240
Speaker 1: Have love to play from behind. They've done a phenomenal

1878
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: job in this series, owning the third quarter in game

1879
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter in game one. They you saw

1880
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 1: what they did against the Bucks, and I think this

1881
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:25,839
Speaker 1: whole locker room incident between Tatum Brown and Marcus Smart

1882
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of bubbled up. It's funny the Clippers had nobody

1883
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,559
Speaker 1: in the locker room to take control. The Celtics have

1884
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 1: three guys now. Jaylen Brown is kind of a silent leader,

1885
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: Tatum is the best player and has some Kobe Alpha tendencies,

1886
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 1: and Marcus Smart feels like the heart and soul of

1887
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,639
Speaker 1: the team. So they have three guys and appartly after

1888
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 1: Game two in which you know, the Celtics just didn't

1889
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 1: play well and no execution, Goran Drag has just killed him. Um,

1890
01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 1: they're down oh two. This is must win for the Celts.

1891
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 1: And if you remember like they were in Game three

1892
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 1: against the Raptors, it was two oh Celtics and the

1893
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: kid O g n and Obi hits that buzzer shot

1894
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: and boom series on it goes seven. I think the

1895
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 1: Celtics might need need a little magic here. I don't

1896
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 1: know what the answer is. Truthfully, that zone is really

1897
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: borderline crippled the Boston offense. It's it's crazy. So I

1898
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 1: guess my only play tonight as of now, is uh

1899
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 1: heat in the I'm sorry Celtics. In the first quarter.

1900
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 1: Celtics are somehow favored by three, which is puzzling. We

1901
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 1: don't need to go to Lakers game too. I think

1902
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a big line. Is there anything popped

1903
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:43,280
Speaker 1: up yet? Lakers seven and a half UM and again,

1904
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 1: I think the smart play is Nuggets first quarter. Now,

1905
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna care about this game because it's Sunday night

1906
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:55,599
Speaker 1: and there's NFL. But the Denver Nuggets rested Yokich. I

1907
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: think the final ten minutes Jamal Murray. I think the

1908
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 1: final ten minutes UM. And I think, as you saw

1909
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 1: in Game one, they came out fired up. They scored

1910
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 1: like thirty eight points in the first quarter, and you know,

1911
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers are gonna hear about everybody on the radio

1912
01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 1: and TV saying sweep and blah blah blah, and the

1913
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 1: guard will be down. I think the one edge the

1914
01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 1: Nuggets will have is in the first quarter full game.

1915
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't trust that

1916
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 1: Nuggets bench. You're kidding me. It's a Denver freaking Nuggets, guys,

1917
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets. This is like last year with Portland. Okay,

1918
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Durd's hurt, Okay, Katie's hurt. I think Portland can

1919
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:36,680
Speaker 1: make this a series. Warriors got out the brooms and

1920
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 1: swept their asses out of town. Lakers are gonna sweep Denver.

1921
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 1: Just take it to the bank, lock it up, alright,

1922
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: So final half hour will just do exclusively NFL um.

1923
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: I think we might do ten minutes on Ruth Spader Ginsburg.

1924
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 1: I keep mentioning her because I'm I'm really angry about this. Yeah,

1925
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 1: and I've got the guys begging me not to go here,

1926
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't want to. And I saw

1927
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: Steve Hartman just walked in the studio, and you watch this.

1928
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:03,240
Speaker 1: As soon as we go to break, Hartman's gonna come

1929
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:06,639
Speaker 1: in here and yell at me about something. Something he's

1930
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: tired of about something. Remember last year he got like

1931
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,600
Speaker 1: ten straight college football weeks in a row. He was

1932
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:15,640
Speaker 1: daily winners. It was it was incredible. Um, he was

1933
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: on a hot streak. I mean, I bet you he

1934
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have any action today on any of the games.

1935
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't have a cent. I'm keeping my powder drive

1936
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 1: for the NFL baby teaser weekend. We'll do that next.

1937
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:31,679
Speaker 1: But first, here's Isaac lowenkron Jason. This morning, the Big

1938
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: Ten Conference football schedule was unveiled. It'll open up on October,

1939
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 1: starting with Ohio State playing host to Nebraska. Michigan will

1940
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 1: be at Minnesota, Penn State will be at Indiana. This

1941
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: year's Michigan Ohio State game will be played at the

1942
01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:50,240
Speaker 1: Horseshoe on December the twelfth, the first time ever the

1943
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:54,520
Speaker 1: Michigan Ohio State game has been played in December. Then

1944
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 1: the week of December nineteenth will be what the conference

1945
01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: is calling Big Ten champions Week. All War teen teams

1946
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: will be in action. You'll have the Big Ten Championship game,

1947
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:07,160
Speaker 1: of course, but then the second place team in the

1948
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,839
Speaker 1: West will play the second place team in the East.

1949
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 1: The third place team in the West will play the

1950
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 1: third place team in the East, and so on and

1951
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:18,880
Speaker 1: so forth down the standings. Now that Dan Patrick Show

1952
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 1: Twitter account tweeted this morning Dan hearing from source that

1953
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,679
Speaker 1: conference officials were upset with the Nebraska governor, athletic director

1954
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 1: and coach for being outspoken and intentionally handed them a

1955
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 1: difficult schedule that starts out with their trip to Ohio

1956
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 1: State and then hosting Wisconsin at home. John Wilner of

1957
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 1: the San Jose Mercury News reported, and get this talk

1958
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: within the Pack twelve that it could have announced it's

1959
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 1: scheduled this morning with games starting on October thirty one,

1960
01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:54,280
Speaker 1: but then some presidents pushed back U C l A

1961
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 1: not ready, possibly a few others again. That tweeted by

1962
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,360
Speaker 1: John Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News the Dan

1963
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:04,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Show Twitter account, adding to that, Dan hearing from

1964
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:08,759
Speaker 1: source that Pack twelve will begin playing football November seven,

1965
01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:13,719
Speaker 1: and teams will play six games, followed by Championship Weekend

1966
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:16,240
Speaker 1: in which every team plays in a seed, a format

1967
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:21,480
Speaker 1: like the Big Ten on the actual scoreboard itself. Oklahoma

1968
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: State ranked eleventh of the nation with the three nothing

1969
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 1: lead over tell us A late in the first Number thirteen,

1970
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:30,679
Speaker 1: Cincinnati up seven to three over Austin. P nineteen rank

1971
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: Louisiana and Georgia State are scoreless midway through the first

1972
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 1: and Number Pit trailing at home to Syracuse three nothing

1973
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: with six minutes left to play in the first quarter. Jason,

1974
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 1: I'll pull you away from Hartman. Thank you, Isaac. Back

1975
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio, It's me Jason McEntyre coming

1976
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:53,799
Speaker 1: do you live from my Geico Fox Sports Radio studios.

1977
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: It's easy to say or more on car insurance with Geico.

1978
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:00,600
Speaker 1: Got a Geico Dot comic call winning under nine for

1979
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 1: seven otto. The only hard part figuring out which way

1980
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:06,719
Speaker 1: is easier. So earlier in the show, we had Greg

1981
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:10,000
Speaker 1: Bdard on, and you guys know he's covered Tom Brady

1982
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 1: for I think about fifteen years in Boston, and everybody

1983
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: wants to say, ah, Brady's washed. Look at how bad

1984
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:21,439
Speaker 1: he was. I didn't think he was terrible. Yes, the

1985
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: pick six hurt. The other interception apparently was on Mike Evans.

1986
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 1: And we're gonna do two things here. Number one, we're

1987
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna go with what Greg Bdard said, and then next

1988
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:37,680
Speaker 1: we'll go to Bruce Arians because Bruce Arians kind of

1989
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 1: unloaded on Brady and it was got a little traction

1990
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 1: in the media, but not a ton. Here is what

1991
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,919
Speaker 1: Greg Bdard said this morning on the show, especially arians

1992
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 1: reaction after the game, where you know, we put those

1993
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 1: two picks on Tom and any you know, I'm I'm

1994
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 1: an idiot when it comes to football compared to him,

1995
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: but I could tell you that the first interception was

1996
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: was not on was on Brady was on Evans and

1997
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,480
Speaker 1: for him to call out Brady on that thought was ridiculous.

1998
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 1: And I think, I think if if this doesn't get

1999
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:07,639
Speaker 1: better very quickly, there's gonna be a battle internally between

2000
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 1: their offense. And I think I think Brady and Arians

2001
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:16,840
Speaker 1: could really this could really turn into some sort of fight. Interesting. Interesting,

2002
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:21,679
Speaker 1: So they have an easy one against Carolina. I don't

2003
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,600
Speaker 1: know how much will be able to read into it.

2004
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:26,880
Speaker 1: If you guys heard the picks last hour. Um, I

2005
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 1: love the bucks here. Um. I'm going to check the

2006
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: line to see if it's moved at all. But you

2007
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:33,599
Speaker 1: know I got it at eight earlier in the week.

2008
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:35,720
Speaker 1: It's currently at eight to have. It's probably gonna hit

2009
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 1: nine tomorrow. Nine is a dead number, so I don't

2010
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 1: think we'll see a ten. Maybe hit nine and a half. Um,

2011
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:44,000
Speaker 1: I just think they're gonna steamroll. What is a beat

2012
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: up Tampa Bay beat up Carolina secondary? Um. Carolina defense

2013
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 1: is so young that rule is a really smart mind

2014
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 1: and they'll be good, but this is like a tryout year,

2015
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,920
Speaker 1: if you will. They got like I think four or

2016
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:02,679
Speaker 1: five rookie star Um just too young to be a factor.

2017
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:06,600
Speaker 1: Brady is a savvy veteran, he'll pick them apart. The

2018
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:11,719
Speaker 1: real challenge will be when um Bruce, Arians and Brady

2019
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: are not steam rolling bad teams, and Arians is gonna

2020
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,640
Speaker 1: say I want to do this, and Tom Brady is

2021
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, I want to do this. And but

2022
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:22,919
Speaker 1: Dart made a good point like, look at what Belichick

2023
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:25,120
Speaker 1: is doing with Camp. Okay, these are your strengths. We're

2024
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 1: gonna play to them. Look at what John Harbaugh is

2025
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 1: doing with Lamar Jackson. Oh you excel at this, Well,

2026
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:35,759
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that. It's like the kid Joe Brady

2027
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 1: who is now in Carolina the offensive coordinator. He was

2028
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 1: the passing game coordinator with l s U. And instantly

2029
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 1: it was like, oh uh, we need to change the

2030
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: offense because Joe Burrow is capable of this, that and

2031
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,639
Speaker 1: the other. And we've got skill position players. So boom

2032
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: sixty touchdown passes for Joe Burrow. You've got to play

2033
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,599
Speaker 1: to their strengths. You get a talented player, you played

2034
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:06,760
Speaker 1: at their strengths. Tom Brady, his strengths are not sit

2035
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 1: back in the pocket, take a pounding and Jack chuck

2036
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 1: it deep downfield. Now with Godwin in concussion, protocol and

2037
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:17,759
Speaker 1: likely out. I think that they're gonna skew things towards Brady,

2038
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 1: which means like a huge game for this Scotty Miller

2039
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:25,519
Speaker 1: kid um a little scrappy little white um slot receiver,

2040
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 1: like a West Welker type guy. If you don't know

2041
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: who Scotty Miller's and Brady loves him. And just to

2042
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:40,839
Speaker 1: keep Brady happy. Here is what he said after the loss.

2043
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: Oh we have Tom Brady. Yeah, Tom Brady. Whether you

2044
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 1: were surprised at all to hear Bruce speaking publicly about

2045
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 1: the picks and and and being critical of you as

2046
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 1: he was, you know, he's a coach, So I'm a

2047
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 1: player just trying to win a game. Gotta love when

2048
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady short, you know, like Tom Brady usually length

2049
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 1: the answer informative. He was just kind of short there.

2050
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 1: So I still like the Bucks regardless of what everybody says. Um,

2051
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think Brady was terrible, So I'll

2052
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:15,480
Speaker 1: quickly buzz through every game and give a quick thought. Um,

2053
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:17,599
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles are my favorite play of the weekend.

2054
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,880
Speaker 1: Don't overreact to which you just saw. Lane Johnson is back.

2055
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders my fantasy team is happy. The Miles Sanders

2056
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 1: is back. Um. If you look at the Rams weakness,

2057
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,719
Speaker 1: it's at linebacker and they lost their top two linebackers

2058
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:35,800
Speaker 1: from last year. One of them is on the Raiders.

2059
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:38,400
Speaker 1: And what do the Eagles do well? They throw the

2060
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: tight end and Zach zach Ertz, I'm sorry and Dallas Gottard.

2061
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna have monster games. I like the Eagles to

2062
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: defeat the Rams. Um Pittsburgh. Denver's interesting. I had like

2063
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh a lot, and then t A came on earlier

2064
01:47:54,439 --> 01:47:56,400
Speaker 1: and we were breaking down the games. He said, three

2065
01:47:56,840 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh offensive linemen around, and I'm oh boy, that's not good.

2066
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: We just saw what happened to the Eagles last week

2067
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 1: when they had all these new guys starting on the line.

2068
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:08,760
Speaker 1: Now Denver does not have Von Miller, but they do

2069
01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 1: have Bradley Chubb. He was not a factor against Tennessee.

2070
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,000
Speaker 1: But Jural Casey had a nice game. He's a big

2071
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 1: space eater inside. Um that came over from Tennessee. So

2072
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of punt on Pittsburgh. I still think

2073
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:22,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. But that's a better teaser leg Like

2074
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:24,920
Speaker 1: there are some great teaser legs, Gavin, if you want

2075
01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: them this weekend. It's like you just toss a six

2076
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: point teaser. Give me Tampa, give me Pitt. I don't

2077
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: want to include san fran I'll tell you why shortly. Um,

2078
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay playing at home Arizona Baltimore Chiefs. Like, there's

2079
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 1: so many good teaser legs, and you know, long term,

2080
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if teasers are profitable for you, but

2081
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 1: it's certainly an option if you don't like the big lines.

2082
01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:55,400
Speaker 1: Um Atlanta Dallas. Oh, it looks like somebody hit Atlanta

2083
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: pretty hard. This was four and a half early, like

2084
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,599
Speaker 1: two hours ago, it's now three and a half. It's interesting.

2085
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 1: Dallas has this awesome offense, but I, for whatever reason,

2086
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 1: I just think their defense is too much of a liability.

2087
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:13,240
Speaker 1: This feels like a field goal game. We saw the Falcons.

2088
01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:16,520
Speaker 1: They are gonna come in the back door. I mean, hardcore,

2089
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 1: no latent vander ash And also, I don't know if

2090
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,840
Speaker 1: you saw that their left tackle missed practice on Friday?

2091
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 1: Do it to a neck injury? Oh? Man? Is it

2092
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 1: Tyrone Smith? M that that that? That would be bad. Um.

2093
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 1: He's a great lineman. There was a game two years

2094
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 1: ago where he missed like two or three games and

2095
01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 1: that's got annihilated. You remember that. I think one of

2096
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:40,680
Speaker 1: them was against Atlanta. It might have been the game

2097
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: where what's his name had like forced four or five sacks.

2098
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 1: By the way, just going back to borrow from earlier,

2099
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: like when you watch him, if can you just imagine

2100
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:52,439
Speaker 1: when they put an offensive line around him, how much

2101
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:56,600
Speaker 1: more comfortable he's going to be. He's yeah, I mean

2102
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:58,280
Speaker 1: they're they're going to be drafted in the top five

2103
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: or six for sure. Um. I do like Burrow a lot,

2104
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:06,599
Speaker 1: and I like matt Ryan and Julio and these guys. Listen,

2105
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:10,680
Speaker 1: last year, I think the number was dan Quinn ranked

2106
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: in first half point differential and that was a bad thing.

2107
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 1: Like they had to come from behind every week. Maddie Ice, nobody,

2108
01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: nobody comes from behind like Mattie Ice was. Gauge and

2109
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 1: Ridley and Julio. I think they can make that interesting.

2110
01:50:26,640 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 1: Dallas can't stop a nosebleed. This feels like a kind

2111
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,800
Speaker 1: of game. Um, I wouldn't wouldn't shock me if Dallas won.

2112
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: I would lean to the over the big game. I'm

2113
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 1: looking at you know, every week there's a massive upset

2114
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:41,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL every week Colts lost his huge favorites

2115
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 1: to the Jags. I mean, I got a case where

2116
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 1: the New York Jets pull off a shocker. And if

2117
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: you remember last year, they stunned Dallas at home, big win.

2118
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 1: I know, the Jets look terrible in the first half.

2119
01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 1: They looked like the worst team in the league. Nobody

2120
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: is as good or bad as they look the week prior.

2121
01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: Nobody it's just how it is. And the Jets losing

2122
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 1: by double figures means everybody's gonna look at that. Oh

2123
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 1: the Jets stink. Oh my gosh, they're awful. Sam Donald

2124
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:17,160
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And look at what the forty Niners did.

2125
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: Stumbled at home against the Arizona Cardinals, and George Kittle

2126
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: got hurt. He had tweaked ankle because of a hospital

2127
01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 1: ball Jimmy g through in the red zone. Terrible ended up.

2128
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,679
Speaker 1: Kittle played in the second half, did not get one target.

2129
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 1: What happened in the second half, They couldn't move a football.

2130
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 1: Four four catches by wide receivers. Everybody's hurt. Deebo, Samuel's out.

2131
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:44,759
Speaker 1: It's like nobody on the outside scares the Jets. No Kiddle,

2132
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:48,480
Speaker 1: And I know Kyle Shanahan has a massive coaching advantage

2133
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:51,960
Speaker 1: over Adam Gaze. But if all the forty Niners can

2134
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 1: do is run, and the Jets bring a top five

2135
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 1: run defense in the league to the table, you're looking

2136
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 1: at like a ten nine slobber knocker. Now. I don't

2137
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 1: want to totally say that all the forty Niners can

2138
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 1: do is run, because Kyle Shanahan is quite the genius

2139
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:11,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to dialing up schemes and smart strategy.

2140
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:15,200
Speaker 1: So I think I would I'll take a little pizza

2141
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:17,880
Speaker 1: money on the Jets money line, and then I'll take

2142
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: my family out to dinner on like Tuesday night. I

2143
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:21,840
Speaker 1: would not be surprised that the Jets won the game

2144
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,760
Speaker 1: out right, Richard on I R And their number two

2145
01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: quarterback Witherspoon was banged up in practice. Where are you

2146
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:31,519
Speaker 1: at on Sam Donald? Right now? I'm in a no comment.

2147
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I I you don't want to bail

2148
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: on him? I mean Crowder, No, Jamison Crowder. I mean,

2149
01:52:41,479 --> 01:52:42,960
Speaker 1: and that's what we're looking at. Oh, you doesn't have

2150
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder, Like, come on? Uh? The number one number

2151
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,720
Speaker 1: their second round pick, Denzel Mims is not in like

2152
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,040
Speaker 1: they're throwing a Chris Hogan who they signed right before

2153
01:52:52,040 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 1: the season, Brashad Perriman. What they what they screwed up

2154
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 1: on is the smart teams in the offseason go get

2155
01:52:58,120 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 1: expensive wide receivers for were your young quarterback. The Bills,

2156
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,559
Speaker 1: let's get Stefon Diggs because our quarterbacks on the rookie deal.

2157
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 1: The Cardinals, let's go get new Copkins because our quarterbacks

2158
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:11,920
Speaker 1: on the rookie deal. And the Jets got freaking Breshad Perriman.

2159
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 1: Are you out on donald No? I think you know,

2160
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 1: people want to, you know, criticize anyone that says getting

2161
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 1: more help, But it's like, look at the roster this

2162
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 1: year doesn't look any better than it did last year.

2163
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:27,960
Speaker 1: And that shouldn't be the case when you're a bad

2164
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 1: team and you're drafting higher and you have more equity

2165
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:33,160
Speaker 1: put in, Like, you know, you spend all this money

2166
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:35,360
Speaker 1: on a running back, that's your own fault. You know

2167
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 1: you're sticking with Gaye. Donalds had how many different offensive

2168
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:42,960
Speaker 1: coordinators and coaches and I watched every snap of his

2169
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 1: college career. There's no doubt that he can make some

2170
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 1: bad throws. But you know, who also does that. Baker

2171
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:51,800
Speaker 1: mayfield er, Joe Burrow, all these guys do that. They

2172
01:53:51,840 --> 01:53:55,400
Speaker 1: all make poor decision throws, right, But I would still

2173
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 1: take Sam Donald over Baker Man. One more game, will

2174
01:53:59,880 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: go break Buffalo Miami. Um, Gavin, can you look at

2175
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:06,719
Speaker 1: the screen and tell me what you see? It looks

2176
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:10,240
Speaker 1: like somebody just hammered the Miami Dolphins. Unless the screen

2177
01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 1: is just like messing up. I'm seeing five and a

2178
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 1: halfs everywhere, but minus three at West Gate. I don't

2179
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 1: know if that's accurate. Um t A just sent me

2180
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:23,600
Speaker 1: a text that all three Buffalo linebackers are out. Um.

2181
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,720
Speaker 1: My problem with with taking the Dolphins here. They just

2182
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 1: got run over by Cam Newton and a running quarterback.

2183
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:32,360
Speaker 1: Now they have to face Josh Allen, another running quarterback.

2184
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a whole lot of faith in the Dolphins.

2185
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 1: Where are you on the Dolphins? Gavin? Yeah? I kind

2186
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 1: of like the Dolphins this week. I think they're really

2187
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:41,880
Speaker 1: well coached and I think they can keep it tight.

2188
01:54:42,080 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 1: I am seeing what you're talking about the West Gate.

2189
01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 1: Oh now it's gone down to three at William Hill,

2190
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: so somebody is hammering in real time the Miami Dolphins

2191
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:52,840
Speaker 1: that just went down from five and a half. That

2192
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 1: must have been a huge wager to blow right through

2193
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 1: four to three, not even three and a half unless

2194
01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 1: there is bigger injury news. We don't know out on

2195
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 1: the bills, so uh, it's actionable, folks. If you are

2196
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: near your well, you've got your account on your phone.

2197
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: We will return in a minute and wrap up the NFL.

2198
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 1: But first, here's a word from Farmers. You get a

2199
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:15,960
Speaker 1: whole lot of something with Farmers policy perks so much

2200
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to speed things up. You can get

2201
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 1: new car replacements or if your car is total, Farmers

2202
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 1: will pay to replacement with a new one and the

2203
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 1: same making up like were uniting with an old friends.

2204
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 1: You had a benefit about new car smelt, so it's

2205
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 1: really new car and new car smell replacement. Get a

2206
01:55:27,600 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: whole lot of something with Farmers policy perks. Start with

2207
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:35,040
Speaker 1: a quote by calling one eight hundred farmers were Farmers

2208
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 1: not for the legal something that covers not available on

2209
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 1: every scene, only available with like pharmosmanic polics and terms

2210
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 1: of conditions underwritten the pharmac for frantire exchanges are failing

2211
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:46,959
Speaker 1: and Fox Sports Radio it's been a great show. Interesting

2212
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:50,520
Speaker 1: debate we had in here during the commercial break, Hartman

2213
01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 1: gavin him myself, Um, how do I put this delicately?

2214
01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:59,520
Speaker 1: So I guess in sports, you know, we're all paid

2215
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 1: for our unions and who's in the booth and on

2216
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:08,920
Speaker 1: these analysts shows kind of they make interesting decisions. And

2217
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, Hartman was telling the story about how he

2218
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,440
Speaker 1: was the color guy for u c l A on

2219
01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 1: the radio one season. I was like, man, I would

2220
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 1: be an awesome gig, but I didn't play. So they

2221
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 1: want to give all those jobs to the ex jocks

2222
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,960
Speaker 1: because the jocks apparently can break down to play and

2223
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:26,520
Speaker 1: how it happened and blah blah blah. I guess my

2224
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 1: pushback on that, And again, you know the school I'm

2225
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:33,600
Speaker 1: coming from, Guys like Tony Kornheiser on Monday Night Football

2226
01:56:33,640 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 1: paved the way for guys like me who did not

2227
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 1: play but come from like a journalism type background. And yeah,

2228
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not under any illusions that I'm gonna

2229
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 1: get a chance to be a color guy on a game,

2230
01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:50,000
Speaker 1: but it's what you can bring to the table. And

2231
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:52,800
Speaker 1: we just talked about this with Tom Brady versus Bruce

2232
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:58,280
Speaker 1: arians Lamar Jackson and uh John Harbor. You take somebody

2233
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 1: who's skilled and smart and has a defined skill set

2234
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:05,800
Speaker 1: and you say, we're gonna build around that person. We

2235
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 1: believe in that. You know. So Colin Cowherd, who's come

2236
01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: on my Straight Fire podcast, has told the story of Yeah.

2237
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 1: I was in the North Pacific Northwest doing my show

2238
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 1: Crushing It, and someone it ESPN, came to me and said, hey,

2239
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:23,880
Speaker 1: we want you to replace Corneizer, and you can't replace

2240
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 1: Tony Cornier. Guy's alleged. I mean he's just funny New

2241
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 1: York guy, uh writer radio TV. I mean a triple threat.

2242
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:33,320
Speaker 1: Like he is the blueprint that's what you want to

2243
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:37,640
Speaker 1: be if you're in my field. And I was like, Okay,

2244
01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 1: well I'm gonna I'm gonna do it. And they built

2245
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:42,920
Speaker 1: around his skill set. He's not gonna try to be

2246
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: Tony Corneiser. He's gonna be Colin Coward do his thing

2247
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 1: and give him all the weapons that he needs to dominate.

2248
01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:53,600
Speaker 1: And like I, you know, you listen to these games

2249
01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 1: and these analysts, and some of them you like, I

2250
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:57,880
Speaker 1: gotta say, I don't listen to a lot of guys

2251
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:00,920
Speaker 1: on TV, do you, Kevin? I think I generally have

2252
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 1: the sound on. Yeah, like when you're watching red Zone, No,

2253
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:06,800
Speaker 1: it's barely hear. Yeah. Well when I'm here, for sure,

2254
01:58:06,840 --> 01:58:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing a lot of the game. And it's

2255
01:58:09,160 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 1: tough in real time to spend too much time on

2256
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 1: each play because the clock's running thirty five seconds Arizona

2257
01:58:16,240 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals and what coming to the line? It comes. You

2258
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 1: can't break down every play in depth. And you know

2259
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 1: you have the guys in the film and the truck

2260
01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:24,120
Speaker 1: who can do help do that, right. But part of

2261
01:58:24,160 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 1: what got Tony Romo that major contract was being able

2262
01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 1: to predict the play, which he knew from playing the game.

2263
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: And I mean I think it helps that he played

2264
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,840
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Um, if Tony Romo had who's who's

2265
01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:39,839
Speaker 1: the next guy who's trying to do some of that predicting?

2266
01:58:40,240 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 1: There was somebody who's doing that last year, wasn't it? Um?

2267
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 1: I can't think of another I mean like that, So

2268
01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 1: that's the new cool thing. I'm gonna predict this. You know,

2269
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:52,280
Speaker 1: Spider too, why bananacole. You have to be able to

2270
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 1: do it. It doesn't work if it doesn't work. So now,

2271
01:58:55,520 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 1: but you know what happens Tony Romo massive success. So

2272
01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 1: now all the networks want is, hey, tell the audience

2273
01:59:00,680 --> 01:59:03,400
Speaker 1: what plays coming before it comes, you know, Like, I mean,

2274
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 1: come on, how many guys can do that? I don't

2275
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,360
Speaker 1: think that's certainly not if you're a wide receiver or

2276
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 1: a cornerback. You don't know as well as Tony Romo

2277
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: quarterback would, right, And so yeah, people are like, we're

2278
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna give Drew Brees money. We want remember the big pay.

2279
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:19,760
Speaker 1: We gotta get Peyton Manning. We gotta get Peyton really,

2280
01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:23,680
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you. After Philip Rivers coaches

2281
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 1: high school football, which he's already committed to do, I

2282
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:31,640
Speaker 1: really think he will be an excellent play color. He's

2283
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:33,640
Speaker 1: a son of a football coach, he's he lives in

2284
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,000
Speaker 1: breezes the sport. I think he'd be terrific, plus charismatic, funny.

2285
01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 1: Bolotie's got nine kids. Come on, no, but that's what

2286
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean. After he coaches his high school, his kids

2287
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 1: in high school, so we're talking about ten years ten

2288
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:48,040
Speaker 1: years down there. Yeah, all right, thank great show, everybody.
