Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon, Live from the Fox

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios, where boy, I'll tell you what you

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: don't like the NBA stories. After an hour, things change.

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Big news coming out of the NBA. Just in the

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: last few minutes NBA insider Sham Sharani of ESPN, Now,

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: remember we told you this game tonight Jannis and the Bucks.

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: They lose to the Denver Nuggets, who played without Jokic,

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: without Jamal Murray, without dan Issel.

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 3: Doug mo missed the game. I just love getting Doug moowett.

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: An embarrassing loss for Jannis and the Bucks. It looks

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: like this was the watershed moment that was gonna wind

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: up seeing Yanni's trade. I wouldn't be surprised to see

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: it happen tomorrow. And then this comes in from Chams.

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: Just moments ago. Yannis told the media just recently in

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: the post game he's got a right calf strain. He

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: expects to miss four to six weeks with an MRI

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Now this changes everything. You really need a

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: leap of faith to make a trade for Yannis.

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: Now, all of a sudden, yis Janis Jannis, and.

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Here he is with an injury, expected to miss four

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: to six weeks, trade deadline coming up on February first,

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: And now if you're trading for Yanis, it's okay, calf strain.

32
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: We've seen what calf strains turn into. Are we really

33
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: that soul that we're gonna get a guy that's gonna

34
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: come back and be healthy, not worry about a blown achilles?

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: Are we okay that he's gonna come back this year?

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Are we trading away players that are gonna help us

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: win now? But instead we get a guy that maybe

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: will help us win this year, but maybe he's injured and.

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: Can't help us the rest of this calendar year.

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, this trade for Yiannis, which which

41
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: which seemed like, hey, tomorrow, I expected to wake up

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: and see it happen. Now, maybe you take Giannis off

43
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: the table completely for a trade.

44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: I mean one hundred percent completely. You might take him off.

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: Well, let's go back some forty five plus years ago, No, Moss,

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: is this Yannis quiet quitting? I mean he said quiet.

47
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: I mean he said the loud part yesterday. My team sucks.

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: These guys do nothing, there's no effort, blah blah blah.

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 3: And now four to six weeks Mri tomorrow, I'm out.

50
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: An hour ago, a trade seemed inevitable. Now, not only

51
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: is it not likely, I can see here you are

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: in a lost season for Milwaukee, right, lost season from Milwaukee,

53
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: And what are the Bucks going to do? Because now

54
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: you're sitting here saying, okay, so what's the future?

55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Right?

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: We can pivot to that and tell you. If you're Milwaukee,

57
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: you know it's a lost season. Right, Yiannis is out

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: four to six weeks. You're not having a great year already.

59
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: You just got worked at home. Maybe Doc Rivers gets

60
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: fired and this playcates Giannis. In fact, I would say

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the most likely things to happen in the next few

62
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: weeks for Yannis is doc Rivers will get fired and

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: a new coach will come in, so Yannis can at

64
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: least see from afar what a new coach is going

65
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: to be like. So I'm sure that's going to happen.

66
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: But if you are the Bucks and you can't trade Yannis.

67
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: Now what do you do? Well, Hey, this injury we

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: have to look at.

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: As an opportunity to potentially keep him. I wouldn't be

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: surprised if the Bucks get a new head coach. Jannis

71
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: is out and we don't see him the rest of

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the season, and he sits out and they attack things

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: in the offseason and hey, here's what we've done, here's

74
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: our plan. Do you want to stay? And Giannis has

75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: enough time to sit back and go through He's got

76
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: now months, He's got the rest of this month, in

77
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: February and March and April May in the playoffs. He's

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: got lots of time to think about his future. Because

79
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: if you're the Bucks, hey, if there's a chance you

80
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: could hold on to a guy as good as Giannis,

81
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: you want to hold on to him. Now, it seemed

82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: like it was done because here's Jiannis. He's mad at

83
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: the fans, he's mad as his own at his own team.

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Try again, A trade seemed and like Fanots with the snap,

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: it seemed inevitable. But now there's going to be time

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: for him to cool off and cool down and be

87
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: away from this disaster of a season and maybe, in

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: retrospect in a few months, Hey, okay, I'm okay with

89
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: the direction that we're going in. I'll come back and

90
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: give another shot next year and we'll see where we're at,

91
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: because right now it's it's too it's too emotional. It

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: was it was too difficult. You saw the way the

93
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: game unfolded tonight. They were plays where Yannis just didn't

94
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: even cross half court. It was really bad. But now

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the more likely direction of the next

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: few months. Doc Rivers gets fired, Yannis takes some time

97
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: away from the Bucks, decides what he wants to do,

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: and they revisit things in the offseason. That's now the

99
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: likely path again the end the future this year, the

100
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: NBA just changed the last out.

101
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: So you're buying this oh that that he's out and

102
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: he's not going to play again the rest of the season. Yeah, sure, hurt?

103
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh well, no, I think I think he's dinged

104
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: up a little bit. The severity of the injury. I'm

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: sure we're gonna we're you know, you can be able

106
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: to debate.

107
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: There's a difference between a cass train and quitting on

108
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: your dm D. Well, because I want to go.

109
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: Through the film like we did with the bow Knicks

110
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: injury last week. That got here, I'm like, I don't know,

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: it's like kind of crumpled during the kneel down, Like

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: where did he really get hurt?

113
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: Same thing here. You're gonna start going play to play trying.

114
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: To figure out exactly where, how and and and how

115
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 4: severe things really are. All the internet doctors are working

116
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 4: overtime Friday into Saturday.

117
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: This just means that the Lakers are gonna get them

118
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: for less.

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, the casstrain is gonna be

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: miraculously better in a week. Oh that cat, Hey, it

121
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: healed itself. I don't know if you know that or not,

122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: but it healed itself. It's just fantastic. Like the you

123
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: know what I get all the time, Like when I

124
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: play games on my Kindle and I'll play like Solitaire

125
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: or Spider Solitaire or something.

126
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 3: Else I get.

127
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: You can get the same ads over the course of

128
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: like a week, like the same exact ads, Like I'll

129
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: get ads to play that ridiculous whatever that game is

130
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: with King Robert, and I keep getting Royal Match, Like

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not downloading Royal Match. You could show

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: this thing to be a thousand times, but not so.

133
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: I'll get Royal Match for a week, and I'll get

134
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: other things for a week. But now the latest thing

Speaker 1: A problem with their skin and they rub it on

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: and then it looks brand new, someone who you know,

142
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: if you want to take care of, if your your

143
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: arms have too much cellulite in them, you rub it

144
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: on there and then they show their arm and it's

145
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: miraculously back to normal.

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm going, well, I didn't know that worked. I really

147
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: I didn't know that worked.

148
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: That I could just take whatever this b venom is,

149

Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, a lot of it is the

157
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: power of the mind. You're not lying if you believe

158
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: it's true. I mean, we've seen people with the endorphin

159
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: rush be able to, you know, go to the free

160
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: throw line and hit big free throws and then walk off.

161
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: We've seen guys play ig Ronnie Lott here, take my finger.

162
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: I mean, you can get through a lot of random stuff. Man,

163
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: you can still walk off even if you got a

164
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 4: torn achilles. We've seen that many at times. But he

165
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: walked to the locker room.

166
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: If he had to step to the right to avoid

168
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: a little hole, wouldn't have been able to do that.

169
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's this one's a curious one. The timing again,

170
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: given what you said, does that mean he played injured

171
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: a bunch? Was he just that done with things and

172
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: a small strain has now become a four to six

173
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: week injury, thereby passing by passing the trade deadline and

174
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: limiting options, but giving the team the opportunity and anybody

175
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 4: calls for any of these guys take it and then

176
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: we'll revisit.

177
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

178
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Really that that's how I see the next few months

179
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: playing out, because clearly, look that the Doc Rivers thing

180
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: is not working, right, We saw that not working and

181
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you had a lot of people on

182
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: social media pointing out tonight the times that Doc tried

183
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: to talk to the honest during the game and yond

184
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: just didn't seem interested. And you know, there's a grain

185
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: of salt to take with that, like is Yiannis really

186
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: like you don't have to be standing there staring at

187
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: at a coach to be able to listen, like, you know,

188
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: but you know, really the Doc stuff, no matter how

189
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: you want to cut it up, that's not working.

190
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 3: So his fault, though, how do you pay?

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: No, don't don't blame me, say, Gianni's just decided to

192
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: not try. If I had guys that try, KG tried,

193
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce tried, Ray Yalla tried, won the title, it's

194
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: not my fault. After that, none of none of the

195
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Clippers stuff was my fault either. I could blame it.

196
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: In fact, it was my son's fault on the Clippers.

197
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: It was his fault more than anything else. I told

198
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: him that a Thanksgiving, it's your fault why we didn't win.

199
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: It's bad to trade you. Uh, that's not working right,

200
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: So Doc's gonna go. And I know they've tried it

201
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: with different coaches, and but what are you gonna do? Right,

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: There's only so much you can So Doc gets fired.

203
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: And really, you know this injury which you know we

204
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: can argue about the you know how serious it is.

205
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: And and is it.

206
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: Something that's that's really bad? Is it something where both

207
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: sides agree some time away? Sometimes time away really helps.

208
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: And and I know the Bucks didn't don't want to

209
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: trade Giannis, they would like to hold on to them,

210
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: but it seemed like it was they were given no

211
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: choice because in the last way, there's been whispers and

212
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: rumors over the course of the past eight months that

213
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Jannis wants out, maybe he wants to go to the Knicks.

214
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: Is his representation is talking to the Bucks? Is this

215
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: the best place for me? Do I need to go

216
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: to another destination to try to win a championship? In

217
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: the last week, he's given thumbs down and booed his

218
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: own fans, and he's taken on his teammates by ripping

219
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: them mercilessly two nights ago. Now you had the craziness

220
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: of tonight and what went on and losing to the

221
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: Nuggets and embarrassing fashion, and now the injury. I don't

222
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: know that some time away isn't going to be the

223
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: best thing for both sides. Because now the Bucks can

224
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: sit back, take a breath, and decide can we go forward? Now,

225
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: this Yiannis deal is going to be something you don't

226
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: have to put together. Sometime in the next week and

227
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: a half. We can sit back and attack this the

228
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: right way. We don't want it to come across like

229
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: a Luca trade because we don't want the fans to

230
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: revolt like they it in Dallas. We want to make

231
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: it seem hey, both sides understand we need to have

232
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: a divorce and move on. We can take time to

233
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: get our best trade out there. When you get to

234
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: the offseason, maybe some teams that would want him. And

235
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: this is where Frostburg you can say Lakers, because they'll

236
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: be out from under Lebron James's money. Right, that'll be

237
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars they'll have that they're not paying Lebron

238
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: next year. The Lakers can come back into it, and

239
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: Janni's gonna have a couple of destinations where maybe.

240
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: This will work.

241
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Maybe the Warriors make a move and it's Steph and

242
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: and and and they bring somebody else in, and Gianna says,

243
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: I want to go there, right. Maybe it's the Rockets

244
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: who say, hey, we're a Giannis away from from a

245
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: piece here. Maybe the Nicks say, all right, we tried

246
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: for two years with Karl Anthony Towns. It just isn't working,

247
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: and now we can give you Karl Anthony Towns and

248
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: some more. But while it takes him off the market

249
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams, now it really for for

250
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: his future and for the Bucks future. I mean it

251
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: time away to get the right trade. I think both

252
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: sides now are taking a big sigh of relief. The

253
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: Bucks are saying, we want Yiannis to play, but you

254
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: know it's not going well and mentally he may need

255
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: a break from us, and we might need a break

256
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: from everything else. We know we're playing for the lottery.

257
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: We're trying to get in get a big pick now,

258
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: especially if he's out four to six weeks. We're not

259
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: getting back in the race here, and this might be

260
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: one of those injuries where hey, there is some good

261
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: things to come of it in the end. Obviously, you

262
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: never want a guy injured, you know, I want Giannis

263
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: to keep playing. He's great for the game. He's a

264
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: great dude. But you know, now you're looking at you

265
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: have to deal with the facts, and the facts alreadys

266
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: out for the next four to six weeks. So spinning

267
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: it forward like this would be something where I can

268
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: see the silver lining for both sides ahead.

269
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: In the interim. He's got to take some time to heal. Yeah, sure, sure, sure.

270
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: You know, Darren Waller gave us some behind the scenes

271
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: stuff of what was going on in Miami and everything.

272
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: When Mike McDaniel exited the building. You know, he was

273
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 4: having his meeting with Steve with McDaniel when Stephen Ross

274
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: came in and said, hey, I need the room, and

275
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: that was the end of that. Finding out later that

276
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: McDaniel had been terminated. But his song about taking time

277
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: to heal is really important here that he did after

278
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: the breakup with Kelsey Plumb. So you know, here we

279
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: are with Giannison, we'll get the results of the MRI.

280
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: Just timing curious given the last couple of days you

281
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 4: have this game against the Nuggets tonight. Again, the Nuggets

282
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: win by two. Aaron Gordon left in the second quarter

283
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: with a hamstring injury and did not return. So you

284
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 4: got that to add to the list of all stars

285
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: that you mentioned were not available. Yeah, neither was he

286
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: for much of this game, and you still took an

287
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 4: l Doc Rivers and company now have to figure out

288
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 4: a new course of action four to six weeks at

289
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: a minimum, and probably Operation shut Down Allah Derek Bell

290
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: all those years ago for the Pirates. So now, hey,

291
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 4: we're never one to shy away from a great conspiracy theory.

292
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: So I introduced you to producer Justin Frostburg, who will be,

293
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: of course, try to fight a way to get Giannis

294
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: to the Lakers. But he's got something for us. What

295
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: do you got, frost It's way bigger than that.

296
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: You started to sound like Doc Rivers at the end

297
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: of that sentence.

298
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: I got work coming in because the event is it

299
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 5: within the next four to six weeks, not known the

300
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: super Bowl.

301
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh oh, he wants to go to the Olympics with the.

302
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: He wants to go be a snowboarder in the Olympics.

303
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get to do.

304
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: That be a great Bobs letter.

305
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: He's trying to skip. Well, the Jamaican team is representing

306
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 4: this year.

307
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: Can you imagine him curling? You think he's uh, just

308
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: wants to skip the dunk content.

309
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 5: The NBA All Star Game And if you honest can't play,

310
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 5: what does that mean? Lebron's probably in?

311
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: Oh look at that? Look at that?

312
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh so you think this is Rich Paul telling Giannis, Hey,

313
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: if you if.

314
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: You don't feel good for the All Star Game, yeah,

315
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: I can make it worth your while.

316
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: Why invisible puppet strings on Rich Paul's fingers.

317
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: Let's see Octagon Basketball Seratsis and company.

318
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, this this is fun, though, you don't think the

319
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: commissioners putting Lebron in as a starter? Come on? Oh,

320
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: of course a media Lebron to find a waiting of course.

321
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what, everything's getting really awkward with Yannis

322
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: right now, here's the way we get around.

323
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: All right, let's figure things out.

324
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: Now we gotta find no but I mean it, I mean,

325
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: like the the the future of the NBA just changed

326
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: so much in the last hour because now with it

327
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: with the trade for Yannis, now that's gonna be off

328
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: the table and it's gonna be this summer and revisited

329
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: and everything like this, this injury that you know, we

330
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: could talk about the severity of it, like again, I

331
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. You don't see in the rest of

332
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: the season and and be taking a break from each

333
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: other and maybe the right thing.

334
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: But Lebron's an All Star starter now, and Lebron would

335
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: be an All Star starter.

336
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: It would work out Lebron James and then and then

337
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: Giannis replaces him with the Lakers in the in the summer.

338
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: That's how I got you're finally learning Ruey.

339
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Hachimura gets dealt along with DeAndre Ayton for Yannis Ruey. Well,

340
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: the money works. I don't want to tell you the

341
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: money works. Exit out about a Fresca exit swallow Dome.

00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,119

376
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: you'll get it. And yes, if Jannie is out four

377
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: to six weeks and I can see it, see a

378
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: scenario where he doesn't play the rest of the season,

379
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: both sides take time away from each other, be much

380
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: easier for the Lakers to acquire him in the off

381
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: season when they're free of that Lebron James fifty one

382
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: million dollar salary. So yeah, I'll be happy for you, Frost,

383
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: but I put the Lakers if that's the case. I

384
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: put the Lakers right back on the of the favorites

385
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: to get Giannis in the off season, along with the

386
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Knicks and the Warriors.

387
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: I put them right there.

388
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 5: Glad you're finally coming around to it. Yeah, but I

389
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 5: don't think I'll really be happy.

390
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: You had to injure Jannis tonight to make it happen.

391
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: So up, you're happy with yourself, that's.

392
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: Not really hurt. So yes, I'm happy.

393
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the other thing is I think he's

394
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: trying to get confusing this whole Lakers thing with summoning

395
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: Beetle Juice of the candy Man. Just by saying it

396
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 4: a bunch of time doesn't necessarily.

397
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: Make it make it so.

398
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: No, Well, you summoned Beetlejuice and you deal with a

399
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: lot of crap and he's frustrating. You summon candy Man

400
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: and people die. Like there's a difference between something those.

401
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no proof that it makes it unso. No,

402
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 4: well that is true. All right, So here we go

403
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 4: NBA All Star Game. If you want to go to

404
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 4: the game, you can get in for thirteen fifty nine.

405
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 4: If you want to go watch Lebron's last dollar No, no, no,

406
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 4: thirteen and fifty nine dollars including fees.

407
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: That all, that's all. It's out the into it though, right, Yeah,

408
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: it's right down the road. Yeah yes, but it's remember

409
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: it's not a Laker home game. But I mean you

410
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: can center court upper deck for two grand and watch

411
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 3: Lebron in his last All Star game.

412
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: Well, if you if you like All Star games, I

413
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 4: mean they play defense one or two possessions.

414
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that'd be good.

415
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be like if if Lebron gets

416
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: in the All Star Game instead of be Honis. Remember

417
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: that scene in Blue Chips where Shack and Penny Hardaway

418
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: are just walking down the street and this guy walks

419
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: up and says Neon Bidow and he goes yeah, he goes, sorry,

420
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: here's the keys to.

421
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: Your new car? Yeah, hen's it? Too many balks? Because

422
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: what are you talking? It's right over there.

423
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 4: What a great movie that is? I mean, considering everything

424
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: we've been talking about. In college sports, we have the

425
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: Davos Swiney who's finally realizing on.

426
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: A hell wh that I can't fight this anymore.

427
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 4: We got a guy coming back after three years in

428
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 4: the the G League to go back to college, which

429
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 4: is at a football player, he gets to come back

430
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: for his eighth year.

431
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: It's the wild West. Blue Chips was so tame compared

432
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 3: to reality. Yeah, Neiah, Butdelia, here's accuse your car. I

433
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: don't have a car. Yes you do, it's right there.

434
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: Oh gee, thanks a lot.

435
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Now, as we get set for this weekend in the NFL,

436
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: my worst nightmare.

437
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: Is potentially upon me.

438
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, it was okay when it was in the abstract,

439
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: but now that I have to sit here, and I

440
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: really could, but I'm so close to seeing having to

441
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: watch a Patriots versus Sam Darnold Super Bowl. This is

442
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: an absolute bleep.

443
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: A nightmare for me. Man. I don't know, I don't know.

444
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: I would just have to go in and say, okay,

445
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: I know one side would lose, but I don't know.

446
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: But it's not like I'm gonna come out of it

447
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: happy like I got the Patriots, the longtime rival in division,

448
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: where I thought, Okay, after twenty years of winning super

449
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: Bowls every three years, I'm done.

450
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: Nope, Nope, make a change with the coach. We bring

451
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: in the right head coach. We go from four to

452
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 3: thirteen to thirteen and four. We're going to the super Bowl.

453
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: A new quarterback was twenty two years old, or I

454
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: got to watch the guy that we drafted number three overall,

455
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: tried to make it work, it didn't work. And now

456
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: I gotta see Sam bleep and Darnold holding up the

457
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy. This is an absolute this is this is

458
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: my worst nightmare as a football fan.

459
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 3: I mean it.

460
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna watch reruns of the Puppy Bowl. I'm

461
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: gonna watch Steve Levy announcing the Puppy Bowl. I'll go

462
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: turn and watch them the Star Wars trilogy. Or I'll

463
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: be one of those fans that says, yeah, I'm only

464
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: coming to the game to watch the commercials and the

465
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: halftime show, and when the action actually happens, I walk away.

466
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: When the commercial comes, I walk in and pay attention.

467
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be that kind of fan.

468
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,920

492
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: putting your legs through that. So, uh, we pull into

493
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: a parking spot and it's right next to a spot

494
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: where a guy is in the front seat and he's

495
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: talking with someone on the phone. Older guy, probably in

496
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: his he probably in his sixties, you know, so probably

497
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: maybe seventies, so maybe about you know, fifteen twenty years

498
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: older than me. And so we pull into the spot.

499
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: Pam stops the car and I'm sitting in the passenger

500
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: seat because she was driving, and the guy rolls his

501
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: window down and says to us, excuse me, he said, yeah.

502
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, you probably want to pull forward a

503
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh in the spot, and Pam thought maybe

504
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: something was going on, so she checks the mirror, goes, uh,

505
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: what's going on? And the guy says, you're kind of

506
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: sticking out a little bit in the back and maybe, uh,

507
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to get clipped coming around

508
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: the corner. And and when the guy's I turned turned

509
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,600

00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: she starts laughing, and the guy's wandered, like what are

512
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,119

Speaker 4: plus six hundred.

539
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Let's get away from all these laws that are being

540
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: told right now and give you our picks for the

Speaker 1: AFC and NFC Championship. Why let's not Yeah, just odds.

542
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: I've seen you park, dude. I park fine, I park

543
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: absolutely fine. I'm the guy that passed my driver's test

544
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: on the first try because I parallel park correctly on

545
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: the first try, unlike all of my friends who failed

546
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: that all made fun of me for driving because they thought, oh,

547
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: you're doing a good driver now, yeah, yeah, you blank

548
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: or blanker. I passed on the first try because I

549
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: parallel parked well. All you blankety blanks failed because you couldn't.

550
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: So don't tell me about being a driver. I'm going

551
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: to drive before all of you, so.

552
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: Blank you try blanking. Don't tell me what I don't

Speaker 3: know the law. Uh still a mailbox AFC.

557
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: That is true that that after after twenty years, it's

558
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: like it gets expunsible.

559
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 3: It's a federal crime. No, no, no, no no, it's like

560
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: it never happened. It's spunge coming for you. By the way,

561
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: it's listen. Listen. First of all, it's not a crime.

562
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 3: He's right around shirtless. There's no mail on Sunday. It's

563
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: not a crime to take a mailbox.

564
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: It's also not a crime if you take it on

565
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: a Sunday and return it on the same day on

566
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: Sunday is only a thing.

567
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 3: And Harry Potter looked up and it gets expunge from

568
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: my record. Just to let you know, just like in

569
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: the movies.

570
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: I did a very big uh special ops black ops

571
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: for the government, and they were expunging my record in return,

572
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: just like they do in the movies. So I completed

573
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: the black ops and they said, okay, we'll expunge your records.

574
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 3: So that's no, you can't find it anywhere on my

575
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: record anymore. It's gone. CAP's gone. One night AFC Championship. Uh.

576
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't like to say this because you know I

577
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: don't only say it a lot, but I picked the

578
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Broncos to go to the super Bowl in the preseason.

579
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: My official pick Broncos or my AFC team. My super

580
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: Bowl pick is alive both sides. I'll stick with the

581
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Bronx goes. I'm not gonna ditch them right now, specifically

582
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: because I can see their path to victory on Sunday.

583
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: As we talked about last night, how are the Broncos

584
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: going to win. They're gonna run a very aggressive offense early.

585
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna let Jared Sidham throw the football. You're gonna

586
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: see no noticeable difference between how the Broncos and Sean

587
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: Payton are calling plays with Stidham compared to bow Nicks.

588
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: They need to keep the team in a positive frame

589
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: of mind, thinking we can be aggressive, we can win.

590
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: There's no tape on Jared Stidham. It's gonna take the

591
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: Patriots a little bit too adjust, especially because I trust

592
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: the offensive genius of Sean Payton, who's gonna be able

593
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: to put some wrinkles in there, some big plays, maybe

594
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: some trick plays, and they wind up denting the scoreboard

595
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: a few times in the first half. Second half is

596
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna be different. New England's gonna pick up on what

597
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Stidham does because he's a backup.

598
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: For a reason.

599
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of three and outs. But

600
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: this is where the Broncos defense wins the game. They

601
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: will frustrate the Patriots offense enough and Drake may have

602
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: shown you, hey, if you ever a really good defense,

603
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: I will give you the football. And after a better

604
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: two and a half or three quarters of trying to

605
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: make plays and trying to do things, He's gonna push

606
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: The Broncos defense will make a big play. They'll make

607
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: the big plays needed, they will escape. We'll be talking

608
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: about Jared Stidham in the bleep in Super Bowl. It's

609
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: like it's Jeff Hostetler from the early nineties with the Giants.

610
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: Give me the Broncos to win this game twenty to sixteen.

611
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 4: Look at you, Jared Stidham. One of the big talking

612
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 4: points of the week. Obviously, everybody trying to talk themselves

613
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 4: into this side from much of the week of there's

614
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: not gonna be that big a drop off. It's the

615
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: the extra plays, the bo Knicks escapability that we're curious

616
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: to see how much that lack of that component of

617
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 4: the game really hurts and slows this offense.

618
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: Right.

619

00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: of the backfield, which has helped them a bit a bunch.

623

626
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: season for Denver, but the secondary has been leaky, even

627
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 4: though you've got certainna and you've got some of the

628
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 4: big names back there, if you can get the extra

629
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560

634
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,600
