1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't listen. Ain't no Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: I as Bernie Fratto taking the night off, Bernie vacationing, resting,

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: doing what normal people do, I guess at this time.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: So that means you get the night shift crew from

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Friday again on a Saturday.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: Welcome in. We got a lot to recap, man.

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: And I can't even begin to tell you how excited

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: I am for the four hours we have tonight.

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: In fact, I was so excited.

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: I think, Brie, what I texted you like five hours ago.

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, we gotta go now. We got to go

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: with the show now. There was no waiting. It's wild

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: because the NBA, the Lakers went back. It's funny how

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 2: these overnight shows have such an impact on you because

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: and I don't even mean like sleep and messing up

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: your schedule. I mean all I could think about whenever

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm watching the Lakers game tonight is oh my gosh,

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: Poppy called it.

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: And I Poppy.

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: You know, I don't always get on board with your picks,

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: and I was not on board last night. I thought

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: the Lakers plus seven in Denver was a suckers bet.

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: I was with the tweeters to the show last night,

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: but we could not be more wrong, as the Lakers

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: dominated the Nuggets.

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: We'll get to that.

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: College basketball was a lot of chalk today, but you know,

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: pretty wild finish between the Arizona Wildcats and the Duke

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: or the BYU Cougar's Duke ended up beating Illinois by

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: like one hundred.

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: I spent most of the day. I'm not even kidding.

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: I spent most of the day living in my college

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: basketball in my college softball world, but in my college

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: basketball world, I was selling everyone who would listen that,

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: you know, I still kind of believe in Illinois. I

36
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: think Illinois is a team that if they get the

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: right draw in the bracket, I think they can make

38
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 2: a run. Okay, they go get beat by thirty forty

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: three tonight. It's like, well, disregard everything you heard me

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: say today on the Illinois fight in the LIONI because

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: EF not a good look whenever you have the worst

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: loss program history.

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: And all these things are great to talk about.

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 2: And I feel like we're somewhat being a sports show

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: and in basketball season and with march upon us in

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: the world of college basketball and the playoffs inching towards

47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: us in the World of the NBA.

48
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: I get it.

49
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: This should be topic number one, and I would assume

50
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: for the most part tonight it's.

51
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Going to be.

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: But come Onbri, give me your first reaction when you

53
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: saw what ended up being a very minimized story for

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: some reason, that Matt Stafford's agent was given a permission

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: to look for a trade. What did you think when

56
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: you first saw that tonight? And I think it was

57
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Tom Palosaro who had it first, right.

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the first one. It was Pallisero first,

59
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: and then I think Ian Rappaport was right after and

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: kind of like followed up on it.

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: What'd you think I was?

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: I just thought it was like super delay because we

63
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: just talked about that last night all night, crazy all.

64
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: Night last night. And I gotta be honest with you,

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: this is a great mystery to me. This is I

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 2: am give me every adjective tonight you guys can come

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: up with for confused, bewildered, befuddled, flabbergasted.

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Quickly, I'm running out of them. Anyone mark anything that

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: they're shock shocked, the other guys, bewildered, bewildered would work absolutely.

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: I don't get this now A savior, Hey, follow the dollars,

71
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: because yeah, I understand that Matt Stafford wants I believe

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,279
Speaker 2: a new contract.

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: He is a free agent in twenty twenty six.

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: And even though I feel like every conversation we have

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 2: around Matt Stafford, I feel like it's always hey, could

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: this be his last year? What does his future look like?

77
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: What are the Rams going to do to replace him?

78
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: So on and so forth, And now we're in a

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: conversation about whether or not you'd give up a first

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: round pick for him, or if you would commit to him,

81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: and maybe what the.

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Value might be.

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: I am color me surprised, but also quickly saying, hey,

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 2: let's go back to where this story really took another step,

85
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: and that was when Colin talked about it here on

86
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

88
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: Think Colin Coward should open up his show on Monday

89
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: saying where Colin was right and just talk about this

90
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: for three hours.

91
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: But that's just me.

92
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm someone who is still, for some reason, enamored in

93
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: this crazy biz we call show and wanting to be right.

94
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna say I scoffed at it. I

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: think the idea of giving up the third overall pick

96
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: for Matt Stafford is a little bit much, But I

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: don't know if that's what it's going to cost to

98
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: go get him. So to me for this program where

99
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: my absolute obsession lives the idea that one of the

100
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: still I mean, I don't want to get too carried

101
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: away here, right, I can be a prisoner of the moment.

102
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to say one of the better quarterbacks

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: or one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're doing a ranking, there's always a

105
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: conversation after probably what five, where you're like, hey man,

106
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford's right there knocking on the door of it.

107
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: At least, I mean, I'm assuming right. You can correct

108
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: me if you think I'm wrong, Brie, but Mahomes won,

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is up there. You got Burrow who belongs

110
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: in the conversation. Lamar Jackson is constantly winning MVPs. I

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: think maybe it's too early to put Jane Daniels in there,

112
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: but he's knocking on the door. Jalen Hurts just won

113
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. Justin Herbert is always right, it's like

114
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: six or seven. But I mean, Matt Stafford's in that

115
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: top ten. Conversation.

116
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: Right, yeah he is.

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: So you got a top ten.

118
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: Quarterback in this league, even if he's a little older,

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: quite a bit older, who has been given permission to

120
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: have his agent basically gauge his value. Brie, What am

121
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: I missing here?

122
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Where? Where is this?

123
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's disconnect or if it's maybe

124
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: as simple as saying the Rams don't want to commit

125
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: to him long term again, which again seems wild to me?

126
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: What am I missing in this story?

127
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: But I'm kind of going back to like the Giants,

128
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 3: like having that third pick. This is the same Giants organization, Like, look,

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: look what they just did of a Saquon Barkley. So

130
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: if any organization is going to be willing to like

131
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: give up the number three pick, wouldn't it be them?

132
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: Like they're not the brightest bulb, you know what I mean.

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying, like, so it's like, oh, like

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: what team would give up there? They're the number three pick?

135
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: They would they would give up that?

136
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay?

137
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: And I think and also just in regards to Stafford,

138
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: I just I think this is all like a ploy.

139
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 3: This is all like I do. I think it's just like, Okay,

140
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: the Rams are like, Okay, yeah, really go see what

141
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: the market is, like, really, what are people actually going

142
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: to pay you? What do they actually think you're worth?

143
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: But I think he's going to be back to the Rams.

144
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: I think this is all smoke and just a waste

145
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: of not like time, but kind of you know what

146
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: I mean.

147
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: And I guess here's my question tonight and NFL die

148
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: hards that live this every single day seven seven ninety

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: nine on Fox, you're with me?

150
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Is this a trade request?

151
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: Like?

152
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: To me, there is this fine line and we're in

153
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: a big world of like nuanced conversations that are totally nerdy.

154
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm and I'm here for it. But when you're given

155
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: the power to go figure out your value, to me,

156
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: that's asking for a trade, you might be able to say, well, no,

157
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, it's just they've empowered him to see what

158
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: the actual market is. But then in my mind, I'm like, yeah,

159
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: he's trying to negotiate a deal out of Los Angeles.

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: And it's funny because there's like plausible deniability on every side. Right,

161
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: the Rams can say we don't want to get rid

162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: of him, we have no desire to move on from

163
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford, his agent came to us and wanted to

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: find out his value. Matt Stafford and his representation can say, well,

165
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: we weren't necessarily trying to find a new home from

166
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford. We were just seeing what his value might

167
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: look like. Maybe when it even comes to negotiating a

168
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: new deal, and I think, bring you hit it on

169
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: the head. You also have a team sitting there at

170
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: number three that did. The kids still say it's very thirsty.

171
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: The New York Giants are very thirsty franchise. They they

172
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: need to win. They need to win now, for the

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: sake of Joe Shane, for the sake of Brian Dabole,

174
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: for the sake of that franchise, for the sake of

175
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: their owner. I still, somehow it gets brought up, probably

176
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: way more than it should. But it's also an incredible

177
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: moment from last year. I mean, in the long term,

178
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: maybe the Giants make the right move and not investing

179
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: in Saquon Barkley and spending that money on a running back.

180
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: But in the short term it really looks bad. When

181
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: you let them go to the Eagles and they won

182
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: the day, I'm Super Bowl as you're our trival. She

183
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: got a massive pr stain going right now. So maybe

184
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: more than anything else, this is an opportunity to say, hey,

185
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: the Giants are interested and the third pick is in

186
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: play right now. I just again, every angle of this

187
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: is like shocking to me, absolutely shocking. I went back

188
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: because I'm a complete and total nerd, and I listened

189
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: to the Daniel Jeremiah meeting with the media. Every single year,

190
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: the draft experts from ESPN, the NF Network, all the

191
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: stations that do full on drafts coverage, they make their

192
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: draft gurus available and you're gonna ask them all the questions.

193
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,239
Speaker 2: And same thing happened earlier this week with Daniel Jeremiah

194
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: and when he said, hey, the whole NFL is keeping

195
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 2: tabs and keeping an eye on this story because it

196
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: seems to be one of those and stop me heard

197
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: this before where there's smoke, there's fire kind of a conversation.

198
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: But I'm sitting here as somebody who knows we have

199
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: four hours tonight, and I am shocked by how little

200
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: there was around this story today.

201
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: I really truly ambree.

202
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: And maybe part of it is we are a couple

203
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: of weeks removed from the Super Bowl. Maybe part of

204
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: it is it's kind of still a downtime in the NFL.

205
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: You've gotten to what the twelfth or the thirteenth before

206
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: the start of the league year. You know, we're still

207
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: what fifty nine days sixty days away from the NFL drafts,

208
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: so they're still a lot of maybe time before this

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: really gets going. But it's just it was kind of

210
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: a simple story today that didn't blow up the way

211
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: that I thought it would. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and

212
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: his agent have been granted permission to talk to other

213
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: teams about his market value, and by doing this, the

214
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: Rams in Stafford can gain a better understanding of his worth.

215
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: He's doing a new deal in twenty twenty six. He

216
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: plans to play in the twenty twenty five season, but

217
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 2: I guess the unknown nature around the thirty seven year

218
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: old's future might lead the Rams to say, Hey, if

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: you got a shot or you can go somewhere and

220
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: get a new deal, go for it, and if we

221
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: can get some value for you, then let's do it.

222
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I just scratching my head on this one, peeps.

223
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating quarterback market, and as the program goes

224
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: on tonight, I'm getting even a lot of help and

225
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: understanding what the upgrade is for the Rams and what

226
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: the true benefit is for a team like I mean,

227
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: would you how would you feel, Breeze a Saints fan?

228
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: I'm a Raiders fan. So let's look at this from

229
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: our very homeeristic perspective. Briannon, how would you feel about

230
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: the Saints going to get Matt Stafford?

231
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be opposed to it. I don't think I think.

232
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: I think he's an upgrade over Derek Carr. I think

233
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: so too, And I love Derek Carr and you love

234
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: Derek Harr. What would you give up the ninth.

235
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: Pick for him? Yeah?

236
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 2: See, that's where I'd love to see Matt Stafford in Vegas.

237
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: I think it'd be a really interesting fit in Ship

238
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: Kelly's offense. Now, if I understand what I think I

239
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: understand about Schip Kelly's offense, it's that he likes to

240
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: have a mobile quarterback. And I don't think Chip Kelly's

241
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: a mobile quarterback. All right, excuse me, Matt Stafford's a

242
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: mobile quarterback. But who knows? Right, I just don't know

243
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: if i'd be willing or wanting to give up that

244
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: number six pick overall in the draft, where you know,

245
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: based on the way things could go, you could be

246
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: sitting there with a Shadoor Sanders or a potential generational

247
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: talent if guy's falling, Carter or Travis or you know,

248
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: Mason Graham and the interior of the defensive line. I

249
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: don't have to go through all the guys who could

250
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: be available in that top ten, but I don't.

251
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm willing to give up a.

252
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: Top ten pick for Stafford, but I'd love to have

253
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: them on my team, that's for certain. Love to get

254
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: him being allowed to speak to other clubs opens the

255
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: door that he won't play with the Rams next year.

256
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 5: The way you guys are explaining this, it sounds like

257
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 5: a subtle fishing expedition about value and with a pick

258
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 5: on the line of what could happen? What?

259
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, a good point. Mark.

260
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: Sorry, I did not tap Mark for a take on this,

261
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: because I don't know that he cares about the quarterback

262
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: roulette this office life.

263
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 5: You guys explaining it and talking about it, I just

264
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: you know, that's just a subtle you know look see

265
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 5: like it's just the outside of looking and seeing what's

266
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: going on with this particular situation.

267
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: It's always interesting to me, because when you hear a

268
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: story like this, Hey, hearing that ex player and his

269
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: agent is being allowed to gauge the trade interest, right,

270
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: it's usually.

271
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Not a guy that most people would trade for. It's

272
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: very very rare.

273
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: Like you didn't hear at least I don't remember, and

274
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: I trust me, I know you're ready to correct me

275
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. I mean, I don't remember DeVante Adams

276
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: or Tyreek Hill or their agents being able to go

277
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: out and check the market before they were dealt Heck,

278
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: I don't even don't even remember that with the Titans

279
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: and AJ Brown before they Dealton to the Philadelphia Eagles.

280
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Those were trades that just kind of happened.

281
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: Usually it's I don't know, a linebacker or an edge

282
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: rusher that you've kind of forgotten about, and you're like,

283
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: oh wait, they're checking the value in the trade mark.

284
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: And then there's you know, all the outliers to this,

285
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: like what does it mean to the overall quarterback market?

286
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: What does it mean for Aaron Rodgers?

287
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: And if you know, we're Colin was right right, If

288
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: if this is going to play out as it was

289
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: projected on the Herd, then that next step for the

290
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: Rams is Aaron Rodgers. And I do find it hilarious that,

291
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, entities like Pro Football Talk because I'm a

292
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: fan of right, But then suddenly they lay out, man,

293
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: the other option for Stafford leaving could be Aaron Rodgers,

294
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: And we're supposed to be surprised by that. It's like, no,

295
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: we We've been talking about that for a minute. So

296
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm I'm just I'm enamored with it. We're gonna spend

297
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: some time on it tonight and look at the odds,

298
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: look at the numbers. Everyone always tells me, follow the cash.

299
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: Follow vague is follow where the where the numbers and

300
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: the and the dollars are. So what would that mean

301
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: for the Matt Stafford saga?

302
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: This is a saga. It's not Gate yet, but it's

303
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: a saga.

304
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: And where we go from here in the future for

305
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams all right, eight seven, seven ninety

306
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: nine on Fox eight seven, seven nine ninety.

307
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Six sixty three sixty nine.

308
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: When we come back, let's hit all the big stories

309
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: of the day, right, I kind of I was so

310
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: excited for this story.

311
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, we try to have a plan for the show.

312
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: I usually ruin it, but I want to dive into

313
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: what we learned last night in the NBA, and we're

314
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,400

Speaker 2: next hour. Yes, that's right, he guessed on the overnights.

316
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: But did we see the Lakers take the next step?

317
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: I know it's gonna be talked about. I know it's

318
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: gonna be overanalyzed, but we'll pose the question next right

Speaker 2: news that nobody seems to care about, but I failed

331
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: for goodness sakes, we had a story go from the

332
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: hot take world to the real world in a matter

333
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: of seconds. Today. We went from zero to one hundred

334
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: real quick in the Matt Stafford saga he was allowed

335
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 2: to pursue a trade.

336
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's gauge's trade value. This is massive, It

337
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: is a massive story.

338
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 3: How what's the likelihood that you actually think it's going

339
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: to happen? Like you Chris Plank, Like, how likely do

340
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: you think it's going to happen that he's not going

341
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: to be a ram next season?

342
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 1: There's obviously a lot to this.

343
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: I would say, I would say eighty percent right now,

344
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: that's high, right.

345
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: That's super high.

346
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: And I don't and I don't know if it's a

347
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: slam dunk that the Giants are the team because you know,

348
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: I let me give you be give an example, and

349
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: I see guys lining up. You get me fired up

350
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: early at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight

351
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: seven seven nine ninety six sixty three six nine. Sometimes

352
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: you don't know who might be interested in a job,

353
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: or in a player, or in a spot until they

354
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: realize there's a vacancy, like for instance, in radio, right

355
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 2: the biz that we love the radio business, you might

356
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: have a plan for someone to replace a host, but

357
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: as soon as you announce that, hey, I don't know.

358
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of like an old school Papa

359
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: Joe Chevalier rest in peace is leaving. You never know

360
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 2: who might suddenly be interested in that time slot. All

361
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you might get a phone call and

362
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: it's like, well, you know, I know I'm over here

363
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 2: doing the Tonight Show or whatever, but I'd love to

364
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: do that. I got a great sports example. Whenever TCU

365
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: had a basketball they can see many many moons ago,

366
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: they called Billy tubbsy, who's some names of some young

367
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: coaches that you think might be interested in. Billy Tubbs said,

368
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: how about Billy Tubbs? Next thing, you know, he's the coach?

369
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 7: Right.

370
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: You've seen this happen before in coaching, where you just

371
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: don't know how big of a fish you can get

372
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: until it's actually known that there's availability there or there's

373
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: an opening. So, I mean, is it crazy, Brion if

374
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: I look at this and say, everyone's kind of zeroed

375
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: in on the Giants and what could happen with the

376
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: third pick? I personally think this could open up other

377
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: teams that we're not talking about that could be interested

378
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: in Matt Stafford, like the Saints, like the Raiders. I mean,

379
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: no one mentions Pittsburgh, but I think Pittsburgh could be

380
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 2: a really good spot for him.

381
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: You're not making deals within your division.

382
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: There's this part of me that thinks that if you're

383
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: looking at the perfect spot for Matt Stafford, it would

384
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 2: be Seattle. But I don't think the Rams would do

385
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: anything dealing with Seattle being in their division. But are

386
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: you buying that potential angle to this, which is why

387
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: it might be so high in my book?

388
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're definitely right, And I think this is why

389
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: it's an opportunity for them to like, quote unquote talk

390
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: to other teams. I guess like that You're right. You

391
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 3: might not know who's exactly interested, but I mean who,

392
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: Like if you're one of those teams, if you are

393
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: the Steelers or you are, like, I don't know, even

394
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 3: like the Titans hypothetically right, like what what or the Colts? Like,

395
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: what do you see in Matt staff Or do you

396
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: think he's just like one like a quarterback that's like

397
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: a piece away kind of thing that.

398
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: I feel like you need to be a team that's

399
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 2: trending more towards taking that next step. So for instance,

400
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're the Jets and you've got a

401
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: decision to make on Devontae Adams. And it's kind of

402
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: wild because you know where basically two years removed from

403
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: the Jets making a move to get Aaron Rodgers and

404
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: everyone thinking, oh, oh my gosh, the Jets are a

405
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: potential super Bowl contender. Right, It's not as if the

406
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: roster is that massively different two years later, right, It's.

407
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: It wasn't very good. But is that a team that

408
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: might look at it and say, all right, well, this

409
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: this is a team guy, This is a Hall of Famer,

410
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: This is a guy with a super Bowl ring, and

411
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: maybe he can be a.

412
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: Good bridge Bridge quarterback? Is that what Matt Stafford is?

413
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 2: Bridge quarterbacks are guys like Derek Carr. Derek Carr's Bridge quarterback.

414
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: I still think Sam Donald's a Bridge quarterback. Guys, I

415
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 2: still do. If you sign him, you better have a

416
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: rookie that you're ready to take over whenever the real

417
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: Sam Donald shows up. And this is where every Viking

418
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: fans like, you stop that Sam Donald Flander, Yeah you fired.

419
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Up about him? Back next year potentially? Are you still

420
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: drunk on?

421
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy All wait, so I just you know there

422
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 2: was even real there was there was someone that brought

423
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: up Minnesota as a potential spot for Matt Stafford. So

424
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I don't know who else

425
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: might be out there, but I do know that he's

426
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: more than just a bridge guy.

427
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: Right.

428
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: You're committing three years to him and you feel like

429
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: you're pretty close, Which is why if I'm Tennessee, I'm

430
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 2: not in on this right. I think if you're a Tennessee,

431
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: you take Cam mood at one and you build around him.

432
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: I you know, again, the Giants have a coach and

433
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: a GM that's fighting for their jobs, so that makes

434
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: them more viable. But if Kellen Moore goes to Mickey

435
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: Loomis and says, go give me, go give me Matt Stafford,

436
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: I think we can win now with Matt Stafford. I

437
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: think you got to go do it. If Tom Brady

438
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: looks at it with Mark Davis and they sit down

439
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: with John Spytech and Ship Kelly and they're like, hey, dude,

440
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 2: we can win with Matt Stafford, I think you've got

441
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: to go do it. Just I don't want to give

442
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: up a top ten pick for him eight seven, seven

443
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox.

444
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: Where would you put the percentage?

445
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: M I'm still kind of on the believer that he's

446
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: just going to end back in outlet there.

447
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm so there.

448
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: I mean I kind of get now when you say it,

449
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: like I was just thinking about the Saints, because it's

450
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: like Alvin kamaras kind of towards like the golden age

451
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: of his career, and so you know, maybe he wouldn't

452
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: be I would take him over Derek Carr, right, So

453
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: if that was the option for me, and maybe get

454
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 3: like another veteran wide receiver in there too, would kind

455
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: of pair up with MVS and if Chris Olave comes back,

456
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they could make some noise.

457
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: There's of places that are looking for a quarterback.

458
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: He definitely jumps to the top of the list, unless

459
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: you're the Titans or you control your own destiny with

460
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: potentially drafting a quarterback. Right That's that's that's where I

461
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: would debate this. Where are we as a program, as

462
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: a franchise? How close are we? All Right, let's go,

463
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: let's get your calls on this. Steve is in case

464
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: to kick it off tonight. It is the Bertie Fratto

465
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: SHOWE what up?

466
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: Steve? How are you not? Man?

467
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 8: Hey?

468
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 9: You know I listened to all the shows that I

469
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 9: you're my You're my definite favorite. I think you should

470
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 9: be Ben's permanent replacement host. This is not Midwestern bias.

471
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 9: I think you're You're the far and away the best

472
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 9: to cover the most topics for the most news and

473
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 9: in the quickest and best fashion. But just to further

474
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 9: your point on Stafford that broke today, you know he's

475
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 9: these guys are all scratch off lottery tickets except for

476
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 9: cam Ward. So just if you're the Raiders, I do it, man,

477
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 9: I do it. I do in a heartbeat. The Chiefs

478
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 9: will still beat him like a drum with Stafford, you know.

479
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 9: But I wouldn't have any any problems with that. Like,

480
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 9: like you referenced the previous story. You know, Bill Bill

481
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 9: self was.

482
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 10: Advising the in your neck of the woods down there

483
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 10: was advising Oklahoma State a back a coach, and they

484
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 10: ended up offering him t boom pickings money, you know,

485
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 10: that saving money down there. And he thought about it

486
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 10: for for a day or so, you know, so you

487
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 10: never know what you end up getting. But the problem

488
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 10: with all these fan bases and all these all these teams,

489
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 10: they overvalue convenience store scratch off lottery tickets. A ninth

490
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 10: pick is not that good if I'm sorry, do you

491
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 10: guys are not you guys are not Winston Churchill, You're

492
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 10: not redesigning Eastern Europe.

493
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 9: You have a ninth round pick, you trade it and

494
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 9: you get a capable guy in Stafford, and then Mahomes

495
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 9: will still probably meet him. It'll be it'll be a

496
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 9: heck of a lot closer. I mean, I can't believe

497
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 9: we're talking, and we're talking NFL. I want to get

498
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 9: your other opinion too, what you think of what'd you

499
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 9: think of Rob banfred trashing trashing the baseball the Sunday

500
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 9: Night Baseball Network. Do you think that's the end of

501
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 9: the NBA? Do you think that the end of all

502
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 9: these deals that we're going to end up looking at

503
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 9: Savannah Banana's exhibition game on the USB.

504
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: Steve, I appreciate the guy to word thanks to the call, Buddy.

505
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: First of all, he can tell how down bad Chief

506
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: fans are. Now he got smoked in the Super Bowl

507
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: and you're worried about the future. Mahomes looks incredibly human.

508
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: Your offensive line kind of stayings after basically everyone telling

509
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: you how great it is. Travis Kelsey's probably going to

510
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 2: retire down bad. Now you got to go back to Yeah,

511
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: at least we'll beat the Raiders. Congratulations, congratulations. I have

512
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: so many thoughts on the Rob Manford take on ESPN

513
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 2: and Major League Baseball, but I just I don't know

514
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: if it's a smart move based on the fact that

515
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: you don't have people or at least from what we view,

516
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: knocking down your door to pay you guarantee money like

517
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: ESPN is paying. Is paying the NBA or college That's

518
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: my only thought. I love it, I love it. I

519
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: agree with him. If they're is one thing that is

520
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 2: overdone to me.

521
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: And I love the NBA, guys. I love the NBA.

522
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: We are so enamored with talking around the games and

523
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: not about the games, and nobody does it worse, and

524
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: I guess worse or better how everyone to look at

525
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: it than ESPN. I mean, I'm watching Kendrack. Why the

526
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: hell do I care what Kendrick Perkins has to say

527
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: about the Lakers Nuggets game tonight?

528
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: Right?

529
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: But yet here's Perk and then we gotta have another

530
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: worst Tim Legler to give us his take. And it's

531
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 2: just I'm glad they're actually talking about the game, but

532
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: inevitably it becomes. Are the Lakers the favorites to win

533
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: in the West? Stephen A? Christopherusso whotes the NBA? You know,

534
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: It's just it's I don't I don't get getting mad

535
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: if I'm Rob Manford that there's not enough talk about

536
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball because it's just what good is it doing.

537
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: ESPN has made it clear it's not something that they're

538
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: overly invested in, and I don't think ESPN just does

539
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: something off the whim.

540
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I know we don't. It's not, at least Chris Blank

541
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: does it. I'm gonna sit here.

542
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about what you guys are calling

543
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: about and what you're tweeting about, what Brianna feels like.

544
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: The numbers are showing people are engaging on and obviously,

545
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: somewhere within the Ivory towers at ESPN, it is much

546
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 2: more interactive to talk about the NBA than anything baseball.

547
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: And I get Rob mannfor it's frustration. I just don't know, Steve.

548
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if the right move is to basically

549
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: publicly say FU when you don't have a lot of

550
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: people waiting to pay you money.

551
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: Andre is in Massachusetts. What's going on? Andre? How are

552
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: you how you doing.

553
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 11: Thanks for taking the call.

554
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 12: Listen this Matthew Stafford situation in the Rams kindly saying listen,

555
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 12: you can go ahead and pursue other options.

556
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 7: I think that's their nice way.

557
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 12: Of kind of leaning him, guiding him out the door,

558
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 12: and then the look at possible other options. Could we

559
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 12: see Aaron Rodgers returning to the Golden State and coming

560
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 12: to the Rams and kind of being their bridge quarterback

561
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 12: and allowing them to have a chance to.

562
00:28:59,280 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 13: Still be competit.

563
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 12: I'm not a huge fan of that specifically, just given

564
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 12: the fact that Sean McVay has proven his ability not

565
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 12: only developed players, but also to do less with more

566
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 12: to do more with less. Excuse me as they did

567
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 12: last year, couldn't name any players on their team for

568
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 12: the casual football fan like myself after Aaron Donald the

569
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 12: tiled or retired. But the point is Aaron Aaron Rodgers

570
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 12: not the biggest guy for like team culture and continuity,

571
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 12: kind of a chemistry killer. Somebody has to walk to

572
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 12: the beat of his own drum.

573
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 8: So I did for me the Rams.

574
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 12: Either you bring in a guy like a Geno Smith,

575
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 12: you know, a guy that's a you know, good quarterback,

576
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 12: not great, but it's going to come in and buy

577
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 12: into your system or go out and get a young guy.

578
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 14: Get you know, you know, you look at what Boat

579
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 14: Knicks was able to.

580
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 12: Do with the Broncos, you know, promising quarterback who Sean

581
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 12: McVay can kind of coach up and develop. You know,

582
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 12: I don't see if that's my whole thing with this.

583
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 12: If it's not going to be Stafford, it has to

584
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 12: be somebody that's team first, culture first, and that can

585
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 12: fit with McVeigh rather than going out and trying to

586
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 12: find a name who is not going to uh, you know,

587
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 12: who's essentially going to ruin what the Rams have have

588
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 12: going for them, you know, which is a strong culture

589
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 12: and a coach that's proven that he's able to be

590
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 12: a plus. However, many wins when they don't have, you know,

591
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 12: superstar talent.

592
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 13: So that's right.

593
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Andrew, I appreciate it, Udy.

594
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: All right, here, here's one angle to this, and if

595
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: you're on hold hanging there, we'll get a break and

596
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: we'll roll with your calls till the top.

597
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: Mark Medina is going to join us.

598
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: We'll get into the NBA coming up in about twenty

599
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: minutes from now, but I want to spend the rest

600
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: of the hour with your calls on this. And here's

601
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: here's one thought. Where have the Rams excelled. They have

602
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: excelled in the draft and finding late round gyms h Pooka, Nakua,

603
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup. You go up and down that roster, there's

604
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: there's late round values where the Rams who have been

605
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: the what the the epitome of of bleep them picks?

606
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: Right, we needs your picks.

607
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna go spend on some veteran guys

608
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: and we're gonna find value late in drafts. And they've

609
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: done that now this past year. You know Jared Jared

610
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: Verus and Brandon Fisk which verse was the first first

611
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: round pick for the Rams since what Jared Goff, which

612
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: is crazy, but they found value in him. But even

613
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: look at this year's draft, due to that they found

614
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: late that ended up doing things that have have wowed them.

615
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: You know, Nikoua was a fifth round pick. You go back.

616
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: I mean, year after year they're finding guys in the

617
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: third and the fourth round and the fifth round that

618
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: have become difference makers for him. It all leads, I mean,

619
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: it all leads me to wonder is there a guy

620
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: then in this draft that the Rams have found and say, hey,

621
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: this is a guy that we might be able to

622
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: get in the second round. Maybe even we look at

623
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: it as a team that you know, has the first

624
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: round pick for the same year in a row in

625
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: a long time, and they see where are the Rams

626
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: right now? They're saying at twenty six. I mean, maybe

627
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: they think, go give me a guy like Jalen Milroe

628
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: or Quinn Ewers or Jackson Dart. You know, Jackson Dart

629
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: is a guy that I like a lot, and maybe

630
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: that's what they're looking at. And I know I talk

631
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: about late round guys and I mentioned a first round pick.

632
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: The only reason is is I don't know if you

633
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: can wait on the Jackson Darts and the Quinn Yours

634
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: until like the third or fourth round.

635
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: I just I don't think so.

636
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, the thought is maybe a

637
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: lot of this is Matt Stafford wants more than a

638
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: one year commitment. He wants to get a longer term deal.

639
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: The Rams maybe don't feel that, and Stafford's looking to

640
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: see if someone is willing to invest a longer term,

641
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: three to four year deal with them. Hey back to

642
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: what Stephen Casey said, that was a really good call.

643
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: Andre back to what Stephen Casey said, I couldn't disagree

644
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: more about like the top ten pick. If I'm the

645
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: Saints at nine, if I'm the Raiders at six, if

646
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: I look at it and say I'm a Matt Stafford

647
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: away from winning, then maybe I think about it.

648
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think you are.

649
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: I think a team that I look at it and

650
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: say where Matt Stafford away from winning could be Pittsford.

651
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: And they said twenty first, and maybe they'd be willing

652
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: to part with the twenty first pick in the draft.

653
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. And then again just really kind of

654
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: over analyzing this. What could the Rams do then by

655
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: packaging twenty six and twenty one to move up and

656
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: maybe really get in the quarterback game.

657
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: In this draft?

658
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Everyone seems to think they would go

659
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: the veteran route. You know, Baker Mayfield was really good

660
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: with the Rams, but the Bucks locked him up. Names

661
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 2: like Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, interesting, Jimmy g I think

662
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: still in LA. So I just find it to be

663
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: a fascinating story right now, and I'm really I'm really

664
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: high on the fact that he's not going to play

665
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: there next year. I just don't know where rest of

666

Speaker 1: And we had a game.

687
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: We had a game that had a fifty three point

688
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: more margin and it involves the Trailblazers and they want

689
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: the losers. So we'll talk to Mark Vidini coming up

Speaker 1: How are you?

696
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 4: I just gotta tell you, man, if I'm the Giants

697
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: and my coach's job was on the line, and we

698
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 4: all know this is to make a brick here for

699
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 4: day ball. Okay, we all know that, and they need

700
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: a quarterback in the worst way. But I'll give you

701
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 4: my number one pick if you could just flat out

702
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: guarantee me that we're gonna win to We're going to

703
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: the next Swomer Bowl, and we're gonna win the whole thing,

704
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 4: because there's not I'm not doing it. But then again, Dave,

705
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 4: are the Giants. They let Brockley walk out the door

706
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: right after the Super Bowl that they won with Philadelphia.

707
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 4: So the most conservative family and all the problem pro

708
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: football is going to.

709
00:35:59,360 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 13: Make a move.

710
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure. And but what I would think,

711
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: I gotta say the game then, between the Nuggets and

712
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 4: the Leggas, I had all kinds of sugar plums dancing

713
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 4: in my head, all the fasci ful about Lebron Jans

714
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 4: winning another title. But I'm saying, Jerome, you're amost sugar. No,

715
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: it's not gonna happen, Jerome, wake up, Jerome, it can't happen.

716
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 4: But boy did they look good tonight. I'm telling you, man,

717
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 4: anything like that said anything, if possible, You'll.

718
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 8: Have to wait the fall.

719
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: Let's see, Jerome, Jerome had sugar plums dancing in his

720
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: head watching Luca pour in thirty two tonight and Lebron

721
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: with twenty five and five assists. I I was trying

722
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: to get an appen. I'm just gonna be honest with

723
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: you guys. And my trick is I'll DVR the games

724
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: that are on. So I DVR the Lakers game. I

725
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 2: DVR at Alabama and Kentucky and I started the DVR

726
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: for BYU and you tah all right, b Yu and

727
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: Arizona and I started to lay down and I couldn't.

728
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't fall asleep. Why because I was just in

729
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: awe of what the Lakers were doing. It's like this

730
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: is incredible. And because I had dumped on Poppy's pick

731
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: so much last night. I see you on hold Pop,

732
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: y'all get right to you. And there's no reason to

733
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: not allow things to get a little bit over the

734
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: top here tonight. If you're a Lakers fan, Cal is

735
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, what's going on?

736
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: Cal? Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

737
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 13: Hey going on?

738
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 15: Thanks for kaking my call.

739
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: What do you know? Cal? Thanks for jumping on. Man.

740
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 15: No, I wanted to follow up on the Stafford thing. So,

741
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 15: being a lifelong depressed Minnesota fan as I am and

742
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 15: will forever be, I've watched quarterback come in and out,

743
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 15: and I've had my qualms. Obviously, I never liked Kirk

744
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 15: Cousin's saying. I thought we should have given Keenum. You know,

745
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 15: we could have gotten Keeenum for three years on a

746
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 15: third of that salary, kept all of our guys and

747
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 15: drafted which anyone we want it to between now and

748
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 15: then look at Sam darnold. You know he did good,

749
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 15: but you know we drafted JJ. I want to see

750
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 15: JJ play. That's how I feel. I mean, we had

751
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 15: a fun year that was way unexpected. But I'm not gonna,

752
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 15: you know, hold on to him because the keen of yours.

753
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 15: We didn't have anybody. Now we have JJ. Let's give

754
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 15: him a shot. Let's see how this goes. There's no

755
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 15: way that LA is going to give Stafford to the Viking,

756
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 15: the Sea Chickens, the Giants. It's not going to happen.

757
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 15: They're not going to keep it in the same division.

758
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 15: I could honestly see if him then going to the Jets,

759
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 15: But but then I have the the worry that we're

760
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 15: going to get the you know what is it the conspiracy?

761
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 11: Right?

762
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 15: Sure, you'd be a Packer, you'd be a Jet, and

763
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 15: then you'd be a Viking, and you know, to be

764
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 15: honest with you, would I like to see Aaron Rodgers

765
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 15: if JJ's ready, and I'll have his last go around

766
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 15: and then I'll kick off a Super Bowl.

767
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 11: Yeah.

768
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 15: I think it'd be the greatest thing and the most

769
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 15: heartbreaking thing the Packers fans. It'd be great. But no,

770
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 15: I think Stafford to be honest with you, I know

771
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 15: they want them, they're kind of pushing them out the door, right,

772
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 15: But to be honest, I think they're going to keep them,

773
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 15: especially with the defense that they had this year that

774
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 15: was just outstanding.

775
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it really was. And I only gott to

776
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: jump in because we're up against a hard out. That's

777
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 2: a really good point, man. And here's the thing. If

778
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: I'm Minnesota, unless there's some setback, right, unless there's been

779
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: some medical setback with JJ McCarthy, you roll with them.

780
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: It might be a little bit painful at times. It

781
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 2: might have heard a bit, there might be some games

782
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: you lose that you typically won. But to me, that's

783
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: your guy. There's the stupid people trying to say JJ

784
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 2: McCarthy is on the trade block. He ain't getting traded.

785
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: He's the future in Minnesota. You go there. There's no

786
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 2: bridge quarterback unless there's been a setback. Mark Vinine is

787
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,640

Speaker 2: grateful though, because tonight, even though Bernie is out in

798
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 2: Mark Medina is still here with us our NBA insider

799
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio, and of course you can

800
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: find him a little bit of everywhere and Mark g

801
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 2: underscore Medina. Last segment, Mark I took a call from

802
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 2: Jerome and Charleston, and Jerome said he had the sugar

803
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: plums dancing in his head watching the Lakers play like that,

804
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: believe it that maybe this is a team that can

805
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: make a run. I don't know about that, but I

806
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: know this much. That's the Luca you thought you were

807
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: getting in this trade. Glad to that tonight. What made

808
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 2: things so comfortable for him tonight? You're thanking Denver Well.

809
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 13: I think the easy answer to that is that he's

810
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 13: just got more time. He's been able to recover from

811
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 13: the rust and the conditioning from being out for you know,

812
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 13: since Christmas Day, with his injury, the All Star break.

813
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 13: I think also just be more comfortable at the place,

814
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 13: you know. JJ Reddick also encouraged him before the game, saying, hey,

815
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 13: I want to have at least one blackout episode where

816
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 13: you're screaming at No. One in particular, because we've seen

817
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 13: him go do that time and time again when he

818
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 13: was at the Dallas Mavericks. He saw that plenty against

819
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 13: the Nuggets with thirty two points, ten to rebound, seven assists,

820
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 13: force steals a block, had some dagger threes. So I'm

821
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 13: not going to put the Lakers in championship contention, but

822
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 13: at the very least I'm going to put them as

823
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 13: they're that first round team that no top seed wants

824
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 13: to play. So I don't think that they could beat

825
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 13: a top seeded team in a seven game series, but

826
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 13: it would be competitive. It would be a six game

827
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 13: series at least, and very competitive. But look, this is

828
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 13: partly why the move was made. It was mostly affordable

829
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 13: long term because Luca is a generational talent. He can

830
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 13: be the next Lakers star once Lebron James retires. But

831
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 13: I think also in the short term, it was a

832
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 13: little bit roll of the dice that is a little

833
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 13: bit high risk ky reward they do lose their defensive

834
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 13: identity and depth. But you have a great score like Luca,

835
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 13: maybe this is the matchup you need because when you

836
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 13: look at the Nuggets specifically, they lost eight games or

837
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 13: nine games in a row to them, and Damby Davis

838
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 13: even though he played well, it just didn't matter because

839
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 13: Nikola Yokuch was just that dominant man he was.

840
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: He was held in check a bit tonight. You know

841
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 2: this is okay? Help answer this question?

842
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 16: Then?

843
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: Is this what the Lakers can be? Or do they

844
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: happen to catch the Nuggets on a down night? I

845
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 2: think the future is incredibly bright with Luke and Los Angeles.

846
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: I think, you know, even when Lebron decides to step

847
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: away and he's still playing at a very elite level.

848
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 2: But when you think about tonight, is was tonight more

849
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: about maybe the Nuggets not being on their game or

850
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: did the Lakers just go take it from them?

851
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 9: Well?

852
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 13: I think it was more of the ladder. Now, look,

853
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 13: the Lakers really got up for this game. It's Saturday night,

854
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 13: prime time on national TV. They even though they downplay it,

855
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 13: they circled the Nuggets on their calendar because of the

856
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 13: two consecutive playoff exits. The nine game losing streak. So

857
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 13: you know, JJ Redickieven admitted that he put a lot

858
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 13: into the game plan, and I think that that also

859
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 13: resulted in the players playing on a lot of effort.

860
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 13: But that being said, I do think that this is

861
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 13: what the Lakers can become. One Luka Dacus is getting

862
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 13: more and more comfortable with new teammates, the dynamic with

863
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 13: he and Lebron and his new teammates team used to

864
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 13: his pass, and this is what the team can be.

865
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 13: They're going to be a very tough offensive team. But

866
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 13: I think the under rated thing that we saw here

867
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 13: is for what they lack in size in front court depth,

868
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 13: they just made up for with a lot of effort.

869
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 13: RUI actual Mora was just all over nikoley Okic, which

870
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 13: are gotten de nine him looks, and you know, if

871
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 13: ruly wasn't on him, they made sure that a body

872
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 13: was on him. You can't stop nikoley okicch But what

873
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 13: they did was try to reduce the amount of times

874
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 13: she was getting the ball and daring the Nuggets to

875
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 13: have the rest of their rosters score, and clearly it

876
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 13: wasn't enough. So again I'm not playing them a championship

877
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 13: contention category. That honor belongs to the Oklahoma City Thunder,

878
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 13: the Boston Sels at Cleveland caval Leaders. But this is

879
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 13: a legitimate playoff team, and you know they could make

880
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 13: some noise if flightening they catch a lating in the bottle.

881
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned Oklahoma City, and I'm here in Oklahoma. Fans

882
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, we get it. You're in Oklahoma. You

883
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: love Sga, you think that he should be the face

884
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: of the league. But I'll say this, the Thunder have

885
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot to prove still, right. I know it's a

886
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: young team, and I get it that you added a

887
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: few pieces this offseason and you've seen some guys elevate

888
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: their game, but Mark, they still have to show they

889
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: can do it in the playoffs. And that's kind of

890
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: the that's that's the process, right whenever you want to

891
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: be a team like that like the Bulls were like

892
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: the Warriors, where you're gonna have playoff frustrations before you

893
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: take that next step. But the Thunder still have a

894
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: lot to prove in this postseason this year.

895
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 13: They do have to prove. But you're in experience until

896
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 13: ultimately you are experience, right, And I think that that

897
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 13: whole idea that they're too young for the playoffs. That

898
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 13: was what happened last season. You know, they had the

899
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 13: number one seed, wasn't enough. They have to you know,

900
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 13: fire on all cylinders. But I think this is this

901
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 13: is really the year for them to do it. Because SGA,

902
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 13: my vote is for him to be MVP. He's been

903
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 13: a really good score with the usual things that make

904
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 13: him a good score, with attacking the basket, game of

905
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 13: the foul line, but I think that he's been even

906
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 13: more efficient. You know what's ironic is he's known as

907
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 13: an isolation heavy player, yet he still gets his other

908
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 13: teammates involved. So that's point number one. Point number two,

909
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 13: they got three legitimate wing defenders. That's never going to

910
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 13: necessarily shut down stop an opposing team's top player. But

911
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 13: when you have three guys in the form of Alex

912
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 13: Caruso veteran championship experience, jayl Williams, great two way player,

913
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 13: Lou Dort just very physical. I remember talking to him

914
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 13: last season. He is someone that literally puts notes on

915
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 13: his iPad of every single defensive matchup to write down tendencies.

916
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 13: True student the game and also very physical. Those three

917
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 13: wing defenders are going to make a difference in the

918
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 13: playoffs and then to tap it all off, you have

919
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 13: two really great frontcore players that actually haven't really played

920
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 13: that much together this year, and Isaiah Hardenstein and Chet Holmgrew.

921
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 13: I think together they can be great, but by themselves

922
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 13: they can be great pick and roll partners with SGA.

923
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 13: So I had them coming out of the West and

924
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 13: then the East. It's really flipped your coin between Boston

925
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 13: and Cleveland.

926
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: Hey, give me your take on the whole All Star

927
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: saga and then how things kind of kick off for

928
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: the quote unquote ladder half of the season, not second half.

929
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: I know you've talked about this.

930
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 2: With Jason and Mike, and I know we've kind of

931
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: had a week not a simmer in it, But I mean,

932
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: is it just going to be constantly searching for a

933
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 2: format that works? Is this going to be it? You

934
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: ap to kind of accept that it is what it is.

935
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: And then it was just a week where the league

936
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: was taking body blow after body blow. You got Draymond

937
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: Green saying the league is boring, right, and you got

938
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: hockey with its four nations face off and everyone's everyone

939
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: loved it. What do you think kind of the fallout

940
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 2: was from.

941
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: The All Star game and the All Star weekend in

942
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: the week in the Bay Area.

943
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 13: Well, there's two things on pack here. From a money standpoint,

944
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 13: interest standpoint, it really doesn't matter. I mean, the ratings

945
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 13: might be down, but they have signed a very lucrative,

946
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 13: uh you know, billion dollar TV deal. They're going to

947
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 13: be fine. And also weekend's never going to be canceled.

948
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 17: Uh.

949
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 13: The easy answer is money, But the more complex answer

950
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 13: is that, you know, outside of the NBA playoffs, this

951
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 13: is the biggest gathering for everyone to have, you know,

952
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 13: for better and for work, almost a corporate trade convention show.

953
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 13: So now it's about they got to fix the game.

954
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 13: And I think Charles Barkley said it really well with

955
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 13: Draymond Green was saying, well, on a scale of zero

956
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 13: to ten, I give it a zero. And he's like, look,

957
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 13: your generation ruined the game, and we're going to keep

958
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 13: having new ideas until something fixes. But here's what they

959
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 13: gotta do. They gotta if they're going to do the

960
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 13: tournament round, they can't have even more commercial time and

961
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 13: stoppage time to honor the inside. The NBA guys are

962
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 13: just more commercials. That's point number one. Point number two,

963
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 13: I don't think the tournament format is here to stay

964
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 13: because there's a lot of pushback after the fact. I

965
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 13: want to be surprised next year and it's going to

966
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 13: be an into a dome in LA that either goes

967
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 13: east west or you know, one thing that Tim Kalakami,

968
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 13: who writes up at the Bay or he had a

969
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 13: good idea that instead of any frustrated feelings about international

970
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 13: versus domestic and the rising starts they do, they you know,

971
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 13: deserve that. What about the og players that are over

972
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 13: thirty versus the younger players that are under thirty and

973
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 13: I'm not talking about rookies, I'm talking about established players.

974
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 13: I think that could produce competition because the younger generation,

975
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 13: they're going to want to have a moment against guys

976
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 13: like Lebron and Steph and Durant, and those guys are

977
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 13: obviously going to want to defend their turf and say,

978
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 13: you know what, I'm still in the league playing a

979
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 13: high level. But look, they've brought so many solutions and

980
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 13: it's always just the work. Short term. They had the

981
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 13: elam ending and I Kobe Bryant after his passing twenty

982
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 13: twenty to reach a target score that was competitive that year,

983
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 13: next year is a back to the same shenanigans. They're

984
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 13: doing the All Star Draft to add some spice, and

985
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 13: there was pushback on you know, all the drama players

986
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 13: being picked last, so they went against that. And then

987
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 13: you know, we saw these past two years prolonged player

988
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 13: introductions and guys just shacking up threes, playing no defense

989
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,240
Speaker 13: that you know, we're we're going to continue to play

990
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 13: rush and roulette until something sticks.

991
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, weirdness right in this league. The Hornets

992
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 2: meet the Lakers the other night tonight they lose by

993
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: fifty three.

994
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: Mark fifty three, Like, how is that even possible?

995
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 8: Yeah?

996
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 13: In the NBA, I mean that old slogan or amazing happens.

997
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 13: Sometimes it's where anything happens. I mean, the Hornets, they

998
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 13: haven't been a good team, but you have the ultimate

999
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 13: fantasy basketball player and LaMelo Ball in the shir you know,

1000
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 13: in fairness to him, you know, relatively speaking, the Hornets

1001
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 13: feel like he's done a better job and finding you know,

1002
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 13: his teammates making the right play. But I think how

1003
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 13: this pertains to how could the Lakers lose when they

1004
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 13: have Luca Dodge Lebron James. Usually that first game after

1005
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 13: All Star break. It can be either really good or

1006
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 13: really bad because guys are being rosty they're coming off

1007
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 13: the trip. But I think in the Lakers case, it

1008
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 13: was even worse because Luca was still trying to find

1009
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 13: his fit in third game out, trying to get familiar

1010
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 13: with everything. I think he was pressing because he was

1011
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 13: missing shots. He was trying so hard to make one.

1012
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 13: He was also trying so hard to make good passes.

1013
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 13: A lot of them were going out of bounce. So

1014
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 13: I think it was just a really unique circumstance. But

1015
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 13: you know, Charlotte game blown out. That's been par for

1016
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 13: the course this season, so I expect that's a continue.

1017
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, we haven't talked about one of the big

1018
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: stories tonight in the NBA. Mark Medina joins us our

1019
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 2: NBA insider here on Fox Sports Radio. Greg Popovich is

1020
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: not expected back the rest of this season, and then

1021
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: san Antonio is also dealing with the victor in Minyama injury.

1022
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 2: Two separate things, but it leads to one big question.

1023
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: If you're the Spurs, I mean, are you just are

1024
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 2: you tanking the rest of the way out to see

1025
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: if maybe you can back into Cooper flag somehow here.

1026
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: What's the plan you think in San Antonio going forward?

1027
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I don't think they have to thank

1028
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 13: necessarily because it'll take care of themselves. With Victor and

1029
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 13: Binama not playing the rest of the season, They're not

1030
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 13: making the playoffs, so they can try hard all they want. Obviously,

1031
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 13: they have good players with the Aaron Fox and Chris

1032
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 13: Paul Harrison Barnes. They're going to compete, but you know,

1033
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 13: the losses will take get care of itself naturally, so

1034
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 13: they don't have to come up with any grand plan

1035
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 13: of you know, roster combinations and pressure from the front

1036
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 13: office to fit guys. I think it'll just play its

1037
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 13: course out. I think the obvious, obviously bigger concern is

1038
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 13: just you know, from personal standpoints, just health and making

1039
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 13: sure and hoping that Greg Popovich is going to be okay,

1040
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 13: Victor Webb Yama's going to be okay. You know, I

1041
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 13: think with Victor, they didn't take this lightly. You know,

1042
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 13: they caught a blood clot. You know, you may recall

1043
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 13: that Chris Bosh had to and it's going to be

1044
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 13: a career early because they found multiple blood clots. But

1045
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 13: in this case it was one in a shoulder. He's younger.

1046
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 13: The Spurs fully expected to be fully healthy next season,

1047
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 13: but this is something that you don't want to take

1048
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 13: a chance on. Hence, you know, being shut down with

1049
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 13: with Greg Popovich obviously much different circumstance. He's in his seventies,

1050
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 13: he had a stroke. There was you know, in fairness,

1051
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 13: the Spurs have been understandable lipped and you know, wanting

1052
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 13: to respect his privacy, but there was optimism he would

1053
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 13: come back at some point, no formal timeline. But here

1054
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 13: it's much different. But I think even with all those

1055
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 13: ebbs and flows, you know, being around the Spurs for

1056
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 13: a few games when they have been in LA and

1057
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 13: talking to people, he still is very active in talking

1058
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 13: to you know, the Spurs players and the coaching staff.

1059
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 13: So they don't share much, that's kind of the Spurs way.

1060
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 13: But you know the fact that he's still in touch

1061
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 13: with them on a day to day basis is is

1062
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 13: encouraged sign and it means a lots of them because

1063
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 13: of what Craig Popovich means as a coach.

1064
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: And that's you. You basically answered my next question.

1065
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: You don't think we've seen the last of Greg Popovich

1066
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 2: as an NBA coach, do.

1067
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 13: You Well, that's really hard obviously to answer because we're

1068
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 13: talking about health.

1069
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: You just never know.

1070
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 13: I I'm going to obviously keep optimism that he will

1071
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 13: coach again, but you also had to be fair and

1072
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 13: understanding the situation that you know, that question is very

1073
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 13: hard to answer because it involves health, and you know,

1074
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 13: it's not like I can put my basketball expertise hat

1075
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 13: on that one. It's a very tough one.

1076
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: But you know, the.

1077
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 13: Spurs are being as supportive and hopeful as they can

1078
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 13: that he can be all right, Hey to.

1079
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: Other quick ones.

1080
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 2: And I know we're running a little bit long here,

1081
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: but I am curious if you are and not to

1082
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 2: dwell here on the Spurs too terribly long.

1083
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the long term concern here with

1084
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: Lynn bin Yama? Right? You kind of hit it, They

1085
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: caught it.

1086
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: They don't seem to be too overly worried about as

1087
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: long term prognosis. But Mark, just from your perspective and

1088
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 2: what you're hearing.

1089
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: Are you.

1090
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 13: You know it's so early fluid, but I am optimistic

1091
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 13: that he will be okay because one, he's young, they

1092
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 13: caught it early, and they're being very proactive with saying

1093
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 13: you know what, let's sit down the rest of the season.

1094
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 13: There could have been a really strong temptation for a

1095
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 13: few things here that they're trying to make the playoffs.

1096
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 13: Hey what about you know, trying to gut it out.

1097
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 13: You know, from an individual standpoint, he probably would have

1098
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 13: won another Defensive Player of the Year award, maybe some

1099
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 13: other awards. He's I think automatically disqualified because he's not

1100
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 13: going to make the sixty five game threshold with that.

1101
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 13: But you know, the Spurs, when you look at the history,

1102
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 13: they they very much valued the big picture here and

1103
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 13: you know, you may recall that in the two thousand

1104
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 13: playoffs that's a little bit of some of the genesis

1105
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 13: of load management. Tim Duncan was dealing with some minor

1106
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 13: injuries and Greg Popovic thought, you know what, like I

1107
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 13: got to limit him a little bit in the playoffs

1108
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 13: here because I have concerns about the long term health.

1109
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 13: Obviously Duncan wasn't a fan of it at the time,

1110
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 13: but you know, this day he felt like part of

1111
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 13: the longevity had to do with, you know, not just

1112
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 13: pomp but the medical staff protecting him and Moni Genobo

1113
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 13: and Tony Parker from themselves and playing the long game.

1114
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 13: So I'm not surprised that the Spurs have managed the

1115
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 13: situation of Victor one maya. I'm in the same vein.

1116
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 2: And then, real quick, are we going to need an

1117
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: intervention between the Sixers and Embid again? You want to

1118
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 2: talk about you want to talk about just an absolute implosion.

1119
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, I'm glad you have the Eagles to celebrate,

1120
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: because the Sixers just that what we thought they were

1121
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 2: going to be this year.

1122
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm look, you thought they wanted free agency by

1123
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 13: getting Paul George. You know, there was a lot of

1124
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 13: talk from people I talked to among other assistant coaches

1125
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 13: in the league that even though they didn't pin them

1126
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 13: as favorites to win the East, it was it was

1127
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 13: pretty much Boston. You know, there are a few coaches

1128
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 13: I talked to that said, you don't what I think

1129
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,959
Speaker 13: the fit is going to work really well with Paul

1130
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 13: George and Joel and Bead and Tyre Smacksy. Obviously, it

1131
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 13: was a huge covey of you know, can they stay

1132
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 13: healthy because so Well and Paul specifically have had their

1133
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 13: own injuries. But you know, I did not see the

1134
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 13: scenario happening. I knew it would be kind of an

1135
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 13: up and down season with health, but in fact that

1136
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 13: you know, they're one of the worst teams in the East,

1137
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 13: and already it's about, you know what, let's just shut

1138
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 13: everyone down and what's the point? I mean, this is wild?

1139
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 2: It is Hey, Mark, I know it's late. I appreciate

1140
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 2: your time, buddy, Thanks for the insight and we look

1141
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 2: forward to hearing you all week and long.

1142
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 13: Bud, I appreciate you having me on.

1143
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 1: Mark Medina. Yeah, it's funny.

1144
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: You start getting into it and you realize a lot

1145
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 2: of the talk tonight on our show when we've talked

1146
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 2: NBA has been Luca and the Lakers looking like they

1147
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: figured something out. But you started looking around the league.

1148
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 2: You had the Hornets to lose by fifty three to

1149
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 2: the Trailblazers. You had I throw the Suns in there

1150
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 2: to make Brianna happy. The Suns win, Suns win. But

1151
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 2: then you have what's going on in San Antonio? Is

1152
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 2: Popovich done? Is there long term concerns about Victor wibin Yama?

1153
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 2: And then you shift to the East Coast and what's

1154
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 2: going on with Philly. It's like, what in the world

1155
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 2: are we even doing right now, Joelle Embiid's not talking

1156
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 2: to reporters after games.

1157
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: Is it's a mess. It's a mess, all right when

1158
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: we come back.

1159
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,720

Speaker 2: so we can figure out if my daughter played me tonight.

1170
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 3: I'm so excited for this story.

1171
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: I am forward to it.

1172
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 2: I'm kind of single dad in it this weekend, right,

1173
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm a father of three. I don't know why I'm

1174
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 2: giving all these details on Saturday night because I'm only

1175
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 2: feeling it for Bertie this week. But my son is

1176
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: at West Point. I got a twenty one year old son,

1177
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: he's a West Point. I've got a sixteen year old

1178
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: daughter that's here with me in Norman and I got

1179
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 2: a ten year old daughter. The ten year old daughter

1180
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: is with mom out of town for a cheer compety.

1181
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm here with my sixteen year old and I think

1182
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: she played me tonight, So I've got to lay out

1183
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 2: the scenario debris and we'll figure things out.

1184
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: And I couldn't really say.

1185
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: Anything before the show because I mean, she was already

1186
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 2: in bed and it's you know, she was home, right,

1187
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: she was home, she was home before it was too late.

1188
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 2: But I still I think I got played. I think

1189
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 2: I got played as a dad, So we'll we'll figure

1190
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: that out. Plus, when you don't want to be mean,

1191
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 2: I need to figure out how to handle situations that

1192
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 2: really really bother you and frustrate you. But you don't

1193
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 2: want to be mean and say something to someone, right,

1194
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 2: this is really annoying me. It's driving me crazy, but

1195
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 2: I want to be a nice person, Bree. How do

1196
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: you even handle those?

1197
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: Right?

1198
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: It's like, it's not really a bad thing, but it's

1199
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: bothering me. It's making me crazy, and if you don't

1200
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,479
Speaker 2: stop doing it, I'm going to lose my mind.

1201
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 3: But you want to do it nicely, yeah, because you

1202
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 3: don't want to carry that like resent night, and it

1203
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 3: becomes super bitter towards that person because it kind of

1204
00:59:58,680 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 3: just builds.

1205
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 2: Up over time, builds up, it builds up, and then

1206
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 2: you're like, where do you get off even thinking you

1207
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 2: can do that? So we're learning a lot about parenting

1208
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 2: and being that non hold grudges kind of person Tonight.

1209
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Later on in the program, I can't get enough of

1210
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 2: the Matt Stafford conversation.

1211
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: I just can't. I know that some of you might say,

1212
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: we get a plank.

1213
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: They've given him the opportunity to look for a trade,

1214
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 2: But the dominoes that this sets off in the league

1215
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: is fascinating to me. We'll hear what Daniel Jeremiah has

1216
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 2: to say about it. Plus later in the program, what

1217
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 2: is that top pick?

1218
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 13: Overall?

1219
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 2: I got to take care of my guy, Shady Sean,

1220
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 2: big Tennessee Titans fan. What is Tennessee gonna do? But

01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 14: Thanks Chris, I appreciate that, and all the poppy fans

1230
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 14: I appreciate on the pig. See, I'm giving you guys

1231
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 14: a head curve before. Uh, you know everyone knows about

1232
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 14: it getting you guys a picks because you know.

1233
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 18: The sports capter.

1234
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 14: I take Frank the best underground cap or Chris. But

1235
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 14: you know, I want to talk real quick about you know,

1236
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 14: we're talking Matthew Stafford over uh, and then I will

1237
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 14: give you guys a pretty pick. I think his wife

1238
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 14: is running that relationship and setting the water down, you know,

1239
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 14: of course running the relationship on that one, and they're

1240
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 14: tasting the waters out and see what's going to happen.

1241
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 14: I wife is not happy. He's going to get out

1242
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 14: of there, So I think they're testing the waters. Okay,

1243
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 14: conspiracy theory, you might go somewhere else where. There's less

1244
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 14: taxes in California, So that's kind of like my prediction

1245
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 14: on that guy. So be on the lookout on that.

1246
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 14: And uh for my picks, I know you didn't take

1247
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 14: my pick I everything give it, but I'm going to

1248
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 14: give you a free once tomorrow and everyone else and

1249
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 14: you're gonna be happy with this one.

1250
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 11: I got the game.

1251
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 14: Shout out to Luca Magic, and we're doing good on

1252
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 14: that tick and calling it. And look, there's gonna be

1253
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 14: a great NBA game tomorrow. It's gonna be a great one.

1254
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 8: You're gonna like this.

1255
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 14: The Oklahoma Thunder are gonna be going to the Minnesota Timberwolves,

1256
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 14: and they played them this month and they lost. So

1257
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 14: you know who's gonna come out coming out hot, Shay Alexander,

1258
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 14: whatever the points is, guys, go on the over and

1259
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 14: the line right now currently his mineus nine and a half.

1260
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 14: They should think them over double digits. I'm merely liking

1261
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 14: the Oklahoma Thunder with Shay Alexander and Oklahoma Thunder. What

1262
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 14: are you thinking?

1263
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 17: I like it?

1264
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: I like it. I think it.

1265
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call, Poppy, I appreciate it. I

1266
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 2: think my personal favorite is how Poppy isn't about like

1267
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 2: that third part of the name. He doesn't like calling

1268
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: them the Oklahoma City Thunder. He's calling them the Oklahoma Thunder,

1269
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: which I'm proud of and I'm fine with that, and

1270
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 2: He doesn't call him shake Gilgess Alexander. He calls him

1271
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 2: Shay Alexander. All of these are fine with me. I'm

1272
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 2: good with that, Poppy. You know that is an interesting number.

1273
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 2: I have the hardest time within me spreads because it

1274
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 2: just night in and night out. I don't feel like

1275
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 2: you know what you're gonna get. And with Oklahoma City,

1276
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 2: they've been the one consistent and the one time where

1277
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 2: I tell people it's like, hey man, keep an eye

1278
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 2: on this. I think Oklahoma City's gonna roll was when

1279
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 2: they got beat by the Timberwolves. So maybe I'm not

1280
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 2: the guy to listen to, but tomorrow night that's big.

1281
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 2: You know, this is uh, this is These are two

1282
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: teams that kind of seemed to be on a collision

1283
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 2: course to see each other much earlier in the playoffs,

1284
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: and maybe people expected, but Minnesota kind of put one

1285
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 2: on Oklahoma City near the end of the firsty. I

1286
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 2: think it was the final game of the first half

1287
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 2: of the season, of the all before the All Star break.

1288
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 1: And this is in Minnesota, and Minnesota is a nine

1289
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: point dog.

1290
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 2: So a lot of people look back at that game,

1291
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 2: Poppy and thought it was one of the few times

1292
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 2: where Oklahoma City didn't show up this year. In fact,

1293
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 2: it might have been the only time. I'm not real

1294
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: big on needed and get regular season retribution for that.

1295
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 2: But I'm also you know, if I'm sitting here and

1296
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,479
Speaker 2: Poppy's done us right once, I'll roll with you again.

1297
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Poppy. I like it, So okay, see minus nine and

1298
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: a half. We'll keep an eye on it.

1299
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: What do you make Bree of his ascertation, his assertion

1300
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 2: that Kelly Stafford is running this show and she's the

1301
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: one that's calling the shots to say, let's get out

1302
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 2: of La, let's get out of California, let's go be

1303
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 2: somewhere else.

1304
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if I totally agree with that,

1305
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 3: because I mean, she's just very focused on her podcast

1306
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 3: and kind of becoming like that little like mommy influencer

1307
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 3: kind of vibe. Sure, I don't know if you know.

1308
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean, La is where everything is right, So what

1309
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 3: are you trying to kind of get away from?

1310
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 2: And it's funny that you say that the mommy influencer.

1311
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't think people understand this world. I really don't.

1312
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 2: This is a billion dollar industry.

1313
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: People.

1314
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 2: I had no idea about it until you know, my

1315
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 2: wife is big in it, and not necessarily. I wish

1316
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 2: she would in her own podcast and was making a

1317
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 2: billion dollars, but just there's five or six different shows

1318
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 2: that she listens to, and to me, they all sound

1319
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: the exact same. But like you said, the mommy influencer

1320
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 2: world is a big world, and I know that you know. Colin,

1321
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 2: whenever he talked about this as a possibility with a

1322
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Stafford move, had mentioned that maybe the Rams are a

1323
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 2: little bit tired of the old Kelly Stafford angle to this,

1324
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 2: which is wild to me that you would say you're

1325
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 2: tired of Kelly Stafford, but then you would throw Aaron

1326
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 2: Rodgers out there as a potential replacement for Matt Stafford.

1327
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 2: But she always seems to have a little Snyder remark

1328
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 2: every now and then. With the Cooper Cup news, she

1329
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 2: kind of took a little bit of a shot at

1330
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 2: the Rams. I will say this, I will say, trading

1331
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: away of Cooper. I'm confused because we were one play

1332
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 2: away from the NFC Championship. I have to be the

1333
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 2: dog in this situation. But I'm like, that's what Matt

1334
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 2: Stafford is saying on her podcast, and like, what do

1335
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 2: we even do it? So I completely and totally understand

1336
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,919
Speaker 2: where you might see mom calling the shots on this one.

1337
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: But you're right where you want to go. You can't

1338
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:26,439
Speaker 1: sneak away.

1339
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, we're gonna go and we're gonna live

1340
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 2: in a small community out in the country. No, you're

1341
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 2: still an NFL quarterback. That's not something that exists right now.

1342
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 2: If you're trying to get where there's no state income taxes,

1343
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 2: I get that, you know, make a call to somewhere

1344
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 2: in Florida.

1345
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: But I don't see any of those. I mean, Miami's

1346
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: not looking for a quarterback.

1347
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 2: Tampa seems pretty set, and I don't think Jacksonville is

1348
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 2: ready to bail on Trevor Lawrence quite yet.

1349
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: So it's a good point. Don't see Jarah, hold on here,

1350
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: hold on here? Do we see Jerry?

1351
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they reach a point to where they

1352
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 2: can find a taker for Dak. Now, I'm not gonna

1353
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 2: allow myself to go down that road. I'm gonna stop

1354
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 2: my mind right now. But if that's the case, then okay.

1355
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 2: But I don't I don't know if I agree with

1356
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 2: that one.

1357
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Poppy.

1358
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 2: It's my wife calls all the shots, you know, I

1359
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 2: just I do whatever I'm told, and that's kind of

1360
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 2: my life and I live it.

1361
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Everyone's different.

1362
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: Maybe in that relationship, she's the alpha, so to speak,

1363
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 2: and he does whatever she says.

1364
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't think that this is

1365
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:35,479
Speaker 1: being fueled either by.

1366
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: Kelly Stafford wanting to get out of LA or by

1367
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 2: the Rams tiring of Kelly Stafford.

1368
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 17: I just.

1369
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: They were right there. What did we play last night

1370
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: on the show, Brie, We played.

1371
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: Darius Slay talking about the team that he thought could

1372
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 2: beat them was the Rams and they couldn't stop the

1373
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 2: run and that's the reason, not their offense. So I

1374
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 2: guess for me, this is where it makes no sense

1375
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 2: to go out and blow it up. The Rams are

1376
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 2: a team that I look at and say, run it back,

1377
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 2: just get off to a better start. They were terrible

1378
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: out of the gates, but who knows. All Right, I'm sorry,

1379
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 2: my phone listed and update here. Where do you want

1380
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 2: to go next?

1381
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 3: Let's go Josh and Arizona.

1382
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 2: He's been incredibly patient. Josh, Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

1383
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging in there. What's going on?

1384
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: Man? Oh see, we haven't had this happen yet. We'd

1385
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: been on one hell of.

1386
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 3: A run we went like a week and a half,

1387
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:35,759
Speaker 3: a week and a half.

1388
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: To where and that was a long wait, right, Josh

1389
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: was in there for a minute, but Josh tried to

1390
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: get it back in at eight seven seven ninety nine

1391
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: on Fox.

1392
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 2: The story is simple, right, The story at its core

1393
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 2: should be just oh, that's interesting. But to me, it's

1394
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 2: the Dominoes that it could set off the story. Matt

1395
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 2: Stafford has been granted the opportunity to gauge his market value.

1396
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport Tom Pelisara reported it. I first saw it

1397
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 2: from Palosaro. The thing that makes it interesting to me

1398
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 2: and I bust myself out every time. This is an

1399
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 2: incredibly compelling conversation for me, and one that I just

1400
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:17,560
Speaker 2: can't get enough of. The quarterback dominoes are wild? Is

1401
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: New York can play with either the Giants or the Jets?

1402
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: You would think, yes, Could Pittsburgh be in play?

1403
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1404
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:29,520
Speaker 2: I mean those are three massive markets and massive franchises.

1405
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 2: Throw the Raiders in there as well. New Orleans to

1406
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 2: me is a fascinating opportunity. You know, we talk about

1407
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford's not necessarily a bridge quarterback, but what if

1408
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 2: Indianapolis decides We're not winning anything with Anthony Richardson.

1409
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen is a guy that you know, he's a

1410
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:48,799
Speaker 1: quarterback guru.

1411
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 2: Maybe for him it's an opportunity to go get a

1412
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 2: veteran that can really do something for you.

1413
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,839
Speaker 1: You know, your veteran isn't no offense.

1414
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 2: If you're listening tonight, miss Flacco, but I think you

1415
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 2: would understand why there might be more interest in Matt

1416
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 2: Stafford over you. But you know, Shane stock is not

1417
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 2: having to work with Joe Flacco or Gardner Minshew. He's

1418
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 2: got Matt Stafford or maybe that fit in Indianapolis is

1419
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: Derek Carr, are Kirk Cousins. I mean, you go back

1420
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 2: two years ago and the names that are available now

1421
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 2: for what we think would be a reduced rate were

1422
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: the players and the guys that everyone was paying all

1423
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 2: the money to. Carr in New Orleans, Kirk Cousins in Atlanta,

1424
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 2: maybe Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles. Right, And there's risk

1425
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 2: with all of them, every single one of them. I

1426
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 2: think the most interesting player in all this now Stafford's

1427
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 2: not going to factor in here, But I think of

1428
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 2: all the teams, we don't talk about a lot with

1429
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation. What's going on in San Francisco bears

1430
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 2: mentioning and keeping an eye on. They fell flat this year.

1431
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 2: Injuries were a major reason. I don't look at it

1432
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 2: as being, oh, well, look brock perty can't win with that.

1433
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any NFL quarterback that can't win

1434
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 2: without help. It's just even Patrick Mahomes. Now it's you know,

1435
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 2: we hear the Dan Patrick promo incessantly, right, which is

1436
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 2: maybe Patrick Mahomes goes to Andy Reid and says, we

1437
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 2: need some help. Right, So everyone needs some help. But

1438
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 2: do you have the structure or if you bring in

1439
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford you can win? Now that's the question. All right,

1440
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 2: Josh was patient, got him back in.

1441
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: What's going on? Josh? Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

1442
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 18: Hey, Chris, what's going on?

1443
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging in there, dude. What's on your mind tonight?

1444
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 8: Okay?

1445
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 18: So I know it's not like a huge typically like

1446
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 18: popular sport. It's hanging in there. We're heading in the march.

1447
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 18: But college basketball, well, I'm all in with you, man.

1448
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 18: All right, Well you should be with Oklahoma because they're

1449
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 18: up and down, they're they're funding to watch. But ultimately

1450
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 18: did you get a glimpse of what happened with Arizona?

1451
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: And by you guys got host.

1452
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 2: I can't think of any other way to put it.

1453
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 2: One of the worst calls I've ever seen at the

1454
01:11:59,680 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 2: end of.

1455
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 18: Yay, exactly fair enough. I mean, we have a ref

1456
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 18: calling a penalty or foul from half court, like we

1457
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 18: had to clean game up.

1458
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 8: We don't want to turn.

1459
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 18: College basketball into what the n being. We have players

1460
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 18: kicking out legs. We have you know, we have BIU,

1461
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 18: which is that's their program, but they're they're taking twenty

1462
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 18: threes a game. Yeah, the NBA is it's all three

1463
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 18: point shootings. I want to like, I mean, you grew

1464
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 18: up in the nineties, probably sure, it was such a

1465
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 18: different game, you know. So it's just I just don't

1466
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 18: want to watch a game where it's it morphs into

1467
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 18: what that being is.

1468
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 11: Because that's the direction it is headed, you know.

1469
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, what's your take on that?

1470
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1471
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, appreciate the phone call.

1472
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 14: Man.

1473
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 2: I spend so I do a local show in Oklahoma,

1474
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 2: and your idea of being excited about Oklahoma basketball is

1475
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 2: vastly different than what a majority of Oklahoma fans are

1476
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 2: feeling right about now. But I will say this, there

1477
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:59,640
Speaker 2: is pretty much constant conversation about.

1478
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: Where this is. I grew up so in love with

1479
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: college basketball, so in love with it I can still

1480
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: to this day. You know, name the.

1481
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 2: Late nineties UCLA teams right and even into the some

1482
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 2: of the early two thousands. I love the Ed O'Bannon,

1483
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 2: Charles O'Bannon, Toby Bailey, Gerald Madkins, Tye edney Man. Those

1484
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 2: were and they stayed together, right, even the duke teams,

1485
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 2: and everyone hated right, Everyone knew Bobby Hurley and Robert Brickey,

1486
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 2: Thomas Hill, Grant Hill.

1487
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: It's just it was wild because it was a great show.

1488
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 2: And part of it was dudes would be at a

1489
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 2: place for a minute and you got to you really

1490
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 2: got to connect with them as a fan. Now, obviously

1491
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 2: we're not doing that anymore. It's a completely different world.

1492
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 2: So Number one, I think college basketball needs to figure

1493
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 2: out what are we gonna be just a transient league?

1494
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be a college?

1495
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 2: Is college basketball now just gonna be so transactional that

1496
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 2: we don't even have an opportunity to fall in love

1497
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 2: with a player or a team. And listen, I don't

1498
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 2: blame anyone because you're more valuable in the portal anymore.

1499
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,759
Speaker 2: You know, part of this might be on the schools

1500
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 2: to really beef up. Hey, it means more to stay here.

1501
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 2: Rick Pattino comes out publicly this week and says, I

1502
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 2: don't know if the success of college basketball is in

1503
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 2: the high school players now. Cook Cooper Flag is an

1504
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 2: incredible anomaly to this because of what he is and

1505
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 2: what he's developed into. But you know, he's like, I'm

1506
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 2: gonna go spend money in the portal. I'm gonna go

1507
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 2: get established guys. So, Josh, I I hear what you're saying.

1508
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 2: From the game itself, right from it becoming a three

1509
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 2: point game. Might worry about college basketball is can we

1510
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 2: get back to that? Or is that blockbuster and it's

1511
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 2: just never gonna be the same? Is that something that

1512
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,680
Speaker 2: was cool and worked for one time period? But it's

1513
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 2: a completely different world because I miss the days of

1514
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 2: college basketball being must see TV. And tonight we're two

1515
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 2: hours in and your call is really the first time

1516
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 2: we brought it up. Why because I'm infatuated with Matt

1517
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 2: Stafford's trade request.

1518
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,719
Speaker 1: We'll get your tweets next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1519
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 2: All right, We're cooking on a Saturday night into a

1520
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 2: Sunday morning here on Fox Sports Radio. A couple of

1521
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 2: things I've added tonight. Bernie's out, He'll be back next

1522
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 2: Saturday night.

1523
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: What to watch? Nobody does this in sports radio. It'll

1524
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:36,799
Speaker 1: be unique.

1525
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 2: Get you caught up on a few things to keep

1526
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 2: an eye on coming up in the final hour and

1527
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 2: the next hour.

1528
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 1: What is the buzz? What is the draft buzz around?

1529
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 2: What could happen not only with the number one pick

1530
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 2: for the Titans, but how the Matt Stafford news is

1531
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 2: affecting the overall vibes leaning into the NFL draft. Don

01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,400

Speaker 16: stafford that may be here for what, I don't know,

01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:41,839
Speaker 16: in every.

1550
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 11: Position that possibly is. I love the coaching.

1551
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:48,600
Speaker 16: Staff that Kellen Moore's building, I really really do. I

1552
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 16: love the OC hire the defensive coordinator higher.

1553
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 11: And you know, as far as I'm concerned.

1554
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 16: You've got a young quarterback here in Rattler. Maybe they

1555
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 16: can develop him, but I do not think and Matt

1556
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 16: staff is going to be the answer for us in

1557
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 16: with this team at this point in time, and I

1558
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 16: just hope to get pass on it.

1559
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, man, I appreciate it.

1560
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if they're in play right,

1561
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 2: but I think we're throwing it out as a possibility

1562
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 2: as a team that could need a quarterback.

1563
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 3: Right yeah, just for fun, because like I said, I

1564
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 3: truly just think he's going to be a ram Like

1565
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 3: I think this is all hooplah.

1566
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 2: You know, and there's a party that kind of hopes

1567
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 2: you're right. But I am here for the off season chaos.

1568
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 2: You know, we have a we have the show on

1569
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 2: Friday night now since Bernie's cut back to one night

1570
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 2: a week one night a weekend, and I would love

1571
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 2: the content of some craziness. But in that same kind

1572
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 2: of line of thinking to what you know, it's basically

1573
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: what Don said. There's bigger issues right now in New Orleans.

1574
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 2: And part of that is the constant and yearly salary

1575
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 2: cap hell that they appear to be in, but yet

1576
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 2: every single year they fix it. Right, They're always in

1577
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 2: salary cap hell, but magically gets fixed in time for

1578
01:17:58,360 --> 01:17:58,799
Speaker 2: the season.

1579
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 3: Salary cap keeps expanding too.

1580
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, keep scrolling, all right, final word this hour,

1581
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 2: Peter in Redondo Beach.

1586
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:23,920

Speaker 11: he was very, very smart. And I'm like, going, do

1591
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 11: you understand when when you stand there over him shoulder

1592
01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 11: telling him to be better doesn't work? It doesn't work.

1593
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 11: It doesn't work. I mean, like really, I mean cortisoul

1594
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:12,719

Speaker 2: Fratto will return next Saturday night. So Bernie just taken

1624
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 2: an extra day after the end of the football season,

1625
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: and let's be honest, kind of a good night to

1626
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 2: do it. You know, Bernie's always kind. Whenever he'll take

1627
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 2: a Saturday off, he'll leave some meat on the bone.

1628
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 2: And with this Matt Stafford story, there is a lot

1629
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 2: of meat on the bone. Where do you say, where's

1630
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 2: my Rams fans?

1631
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 7: Right?

1632
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm counting on you tonight at eight seven, seven ninety

1633
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 2: nine on Fox. I know it's not a massive fan

1634
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: base from just a interaction perspective, right, I don't. There's

1635
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 2: not like a Ram fan sean that's waiting to check

1636
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 2: in tonight. But you've got to hear this story and

1637
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 2: see it developing and feel some sort of way, right,

1638
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you were you were there. I mean you

1639
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 2: were on the CUSP last year.

1640
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: This was this was a team.

1641
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 2: I think you can argue even two years ago that

1642
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 2: if it gets out of the first round of the

1643
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 2: playoffs and they nearly beat the Lions, would have had

1644
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 2: something to say about maybe even making a run to

1645
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 2: the super Bowl the previous season. They just they got

1646
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 2: to figure out a way to start better. And I

1647
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 2: don't know if that fix is moving on from Matt Stafford.

1648
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,759
Speaker 2: But the big story tonight and what we've been talking about,

1649
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 2: is that Stafford has been given permission to look for

1650
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 2: a look for a trade, which I find absolutely positively shocking.

1651
01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: But I guess I'm the only one.

1652
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 2: And who's out there Giants fan, Jets fan, Raiders fan,

1653
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 2: that's a Steelers fan. I'm kind of surprised we haven't

1654
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 2: heard from a Steelers fan that's saying, go do this.

1655
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 2: But you look at it and you say, let's let's

1656
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 2: make this happen. Where is that Where is that place

1657
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 2: where you see Matt Stafford coming in and it changes everything?

1658
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 2: And how does this then affect the draft? Eight seven,

1659
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox, it was a big night

1660
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: in the NBA where the Los Angeles Lakers with Luca

1661
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 2: finally looked like what we thought they might. Luca was great,

1662
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 2: he had thirty two points, Lebron had twenty five and five,

1663
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 2: and in a weekend where we heard from the first

1664
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 2: time what Dirk thinks about the deal, right, Dirk Nowitzky

1665
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 2: talked to ticket stock this week, which, by the way,

1666
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 2: can we give proper credit to the ticket for that

1667
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 2: our affiliate in Dallas. I mean, that wasn't some TV

1668
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 2: station that went and got it.

1669
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 7: That was.

1670
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:58,719
Speaker 2: That was the hard line, that was, that was the musers,

1671
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 2: that was the ticket. Give proper credit where credit is due.

1672
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 2: And you hear Dirk talk about the sadness of it,

1673
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 2: and you see how poorly the Mavericks have handled it,

1674
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 2: and then you know, you add to it how absolutely lost, frustrated,

1675
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 2: disappointed that that Luke has looked through this whole thing.

1676
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 2: Tonight was one of those moments where you felt like

1677
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 2: there might have been a little bit of joy for

1678
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 2: the first time for Luca.

1679
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Here's what he.

1680
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 20: Said, finally feel like myself a little bit, you know,

1681
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 20: you know, playing this game.

1682
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 13: This is all I love.

1683
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 20: So I'm just finally you know, being myself a little bit.

1684
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 20: So that's why I was smiling the whole game.

1685
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, good, because he hadn't smiled much since he

1686
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 2: had joined the team. Meanwhile, the in the college ranks,

1687
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag continues to look awesome, and so does Duke on.

1688
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: The left hesitation dribble.

1689
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 21: Oh my goodness, got fine, everybody, So throw it out.

1690
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 6: How about that first step and it's sixty three thirty

1691
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 6: seven Cooper.

1692
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:02,679
Speaker 2: Flagg and Duke handed the University of Illinois, whom please

1693
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 2: ignore anything with me saying that I still believe in Illinois.

1694
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 2: After that, they beat the Fight in the Line I

1695
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 2: one ten to sixty seven. This was an Illinois team

1696
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 2: that at one point in the season was a top

1697
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 2: five team one ten, sixty seven, pretty much chalk tonight

1698
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 2: outside of Arkansas's ninety two eighty five win over Missouri,

1699
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 2: and then late you had BYU upset and take care

1700
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,759
Speaker 2: of Arizona. Also should mention Ole miss continues to struggle

1701
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 2: on the road. They get me by Vanderbilt seventy seven

1702
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 2: to seventy two. And we got some time carved out

1703
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 2: in our final hour to talk about Major League Baseball

1704
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 2: and it's new deal that is, or I shouldn't say

1705
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 2: new deal and no longer doing business with ESPN, and

1706
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 2: what that means for the Sunday night Baseball slot and

1707
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 2: what it means for the future of where we'll watch

1708
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. But We're all about your call tonight.

1709
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 2: So there's the updates, there's the news. Here is Doug

1710
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 2: to kick things off this hour in San Diego. What's

1711
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 2: going on? Doug, Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

1712
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,560
Speaker 7: Of course, love your show, pal, Thanks dude, And I

1713
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 7: am a Rams fan.

1714
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 9: Let me answer the call.

1715
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 4: But there are Rams fans out there.

1716
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 7: I am one of them, more of a Charger fan.

1717
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 13: But a Rams fan as well.

1718
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 4: And now I'll tell you what do.

1719
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 7: You think Kelly Stafford wants to leave LA You think

1720
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 7: he wants to leave those Matt Chris commercials?

1721
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 1: Hell no, hell no.

1722
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what If the Rams let Matt Stafford

1723
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 7: get away, They're not going to win anything.

1724
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 11: They have nothing.

1725
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 14: I mean what they're going to do?

1726
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 7: Sign Aaron Rodgers. That's not going to work either. The

1727
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 7: only way they're going to keep winning is with Matt Stafford.

1728
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 7: This is like I think a smoke screen.

1729
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 11: A ploy by him to get more money out.

1730
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 7: Of the Rams, and he's going to call their bluff.

1731
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 7: And Sean McVay, it's probably campon his house right now

1732
01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 7: begging him to stay. I just can't that's going to happen.

1733
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 7: If it happened, it will happen with the Giants, I

1734
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 7: think because unless they get a deal done.

1735
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 14: They're all gone.

1736
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 18: They're gonna cop right.

1737
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 7: They kept them around another year.

1738
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: Actually, those guys, I can't believe they did. Man. That's

1739
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: one of the that to me, I'm not even kid Steve.

1740
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 2: When I saw that they got their jobs or a Doug,

1741
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 2: excuse me, when I saw that they got their jobs back,

1742
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 2: I was shocked.

1743
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: I was blown away, man, because I thought that they

1744
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: were done so done.

1745
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at the videos at the start

1746
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: of the season, whenever the owner is in there and

1747
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 2: he's like, I can't even fathom Saquon Barkley going somewhere

1748
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:34,560
Speaker 2: else and being successful.

1749
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: And then they go in the Super Bowl and you

1750
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: get to keep your job. I mean that's my bullet.

1751
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 7: Well, memorits haven't been you know, haven't had the brains

1752
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 7: on right.

1753
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 2: One more year on on the contract for Matt Stafford,

1754
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 2: and I you know, I was even I thought he

1755
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 2: was a free agent in twenty six. He's actually not

1756
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 2: a free agent till twenty seven. So is in your

1757
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 2: mind do you think he's pushing for a new deal here,

1758
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 2: maybe three four year deal.

1759
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 4: I thought he had two years.

1760
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 11: Of guaranteed fifty four million.

1761
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, and that kind of goverment.

1762
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 7: That's a great base to start from. Give him another

1763
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 7: thirty million and so he gets forty million a year.

1764
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 7: It'd probably be happy enough to have a kind of

1765
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 7: chance to win a super Bowl. No other team is

1766
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 7: going to give him a better chance to win the

1767
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:26,639
Speaker 7: Super Bowl than the Rams.

1768
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: Yep oprecion the Eagles. Yeah, Darius Lay said it.

1769
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, man, I appreciate your patience the

1770
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 2: over the cap note on Matthew Stafford's contract, and I'll

1771
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 2: be honest with you. I'm grateful for spow track or

1772
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 2: spot track, whatever you call him, and I love over

1773
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 2: the cap. I think it's smart that you guys have

1774
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 2: had to go to more of a subscription and pay

1775
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 2: model because you do a lot of work. But I

1776
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 2: also hate it because I'm cheap and I like things

1777
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 2: for free. But that Stafford and the Rams agreed to

1778
01:27:56,439 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 2: a revised contract in July of last year, so a

1779
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 2: year ago in July, the total value stayed the same,

1780
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 2: but it also pushed five million forward from twenty twenty

1781
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 2: five and lowered the cap charge by three mil. Stafford

1782
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 2: received forty million fully guaranteed at signing, including twenty three

1783
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 2: point five mil in twenty twenty four, and is do

1784
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 2: a four million dollar roster bonus in twenty twenty five.

1785
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 1: So here, here's the thing.

1786
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 2: If this is contractually for Matt Stafford, I wonder how

1787
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 2: long he's planning on playing, because the next two years

1788
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 2: on this deal with the Rams are pretty good for you, right,

1789
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be thirty eight at the end of it.

1790
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe he's decided after the procedure that cost

1791
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 2: him the season what three years ago, whenever he had

1792
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 2: the arm injury or the rest or whatever they ended

1793
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 2: up doing. I don't remember, guys, if he went under

1794
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 2: the knight or not. But I guess, more than anything

1795
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 2: bre what we're seeing here is, if this is what's

1796
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 2: being projected by some of the Rams fans and by

1797
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 2: those that cover the league, it sounds like he's wanting

1798
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 2: to get a deal that's going to keep him with

1799
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 2: the Rams, or a deal in general that's going to

1800
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: keep him around until he's in his forties. He's thirty

1801
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 2: eight at the end of the twenty twenty six season

1802
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: and at the end of his contract, Like I don't

1803
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 2: know a bet you when I turned forty and I

1804
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 2: wasn't even near being an elite human by any means

1805
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 2: an elite athlete, but your body still starts to break

1806
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 2: down a little bit. The Tom Brady's of the world

1807
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 2: are the anomaly, and Matt Stafford's a guy that's already

1808
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 2: missed time with injuries. We've already started to question him.

1809
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 2: I mean, how long does this dude want to Playbury?

1810
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 2: And why now are we doing this?

1811
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like it's kind of just like

1812
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 3: that like job security thing of like, okay, even if

1813
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going to start, maybe like they get somebody

1814
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 3: else in there in his last year and then he

1815
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 3: can kind of just back up and then just leave

1816
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 3: on his own terms. And I think maybe that's why

1817
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 3: he just wants that a little just a little cushion

1818
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 3: of another year, because I think a one year deal

1819
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 3: is fine, Like I don't have it. I don't think

1820
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 3: there's an issue. I think one year or two would

1821
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 3: be totally fine for him at this age.

1822
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 1: And Doug is right.

1823
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 2: I mean, if you fall in love with the idea

1824
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:22,919
Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers to the Rams to replace Matt Stafford,

1825
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 2: I think you're a crazy person.

1826
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 1: I really do.

1827
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,680
Speaker 2: I now, I want to be very clear. A lot

1828
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 2: of times when I'm very passionate about something, I tend

1829
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,640
Speaker 2: to be wrong. You can go find the tapes of

1830
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 2: me saying the Raiders would never trade Khalil Mack. I

1831
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 2: tried to get them burned, but they're still out there.

1832
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 2: I went and lost my mind this season during the

1833
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:47,879
Speaker 2: college football year that there was an Oklahoma Sooner cornerback

1834
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 2: named Jacobe Johnson and everyone's like they should move him

1835
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 2: to wide receiver. In my mind, I'm like, You're not

1836
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,719
Speaker 2: going to move your second string corner to wide receiver.

1837
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 2: It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

1838
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 2: And then that night there was a that he's moving

1839
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 2: to wide receiver, but he didn't stay there very long,

1840
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:05,640
Speaker 2: so I feel like I still won that one. So

1841
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that's basically to give you my background in

1842
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 2: things I feel really passionate about.

1843
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,640
Speaker 1: And I just feel really passionate about that.

1844
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 2: There's not an upgrade for the Rams unless Josh Allen's

1845
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 2: coming in, unless Mahomes is coming in. You know, you've

1846
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 2: got a top ten guy in the league right now,

1847
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 2: and we can fight over top ten quarterbacks and I

1848
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 2: tend to agree with who wasn't in San Diego, Doug.

1849
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 2: I think that Sean mcvayh would be sitting there at

1850
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 2: the front door, going, hey, Matt, what do we have

1851
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 2: to do?

1852
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: Buddy?

1853
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 2: What's going on here? Which is why you wonder is

1854
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 2: this more? This has got to be more stafford related

1855
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 2: than team related, because you would think that the Rams

1856
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 2: would want to keep him around. And I guess maybe

1857
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 2: finding the genesis of this is going to be one

1858
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 2: of the more interesting debates and discovery processes that we have.

1859
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 2: Steve is in Florida. What's up, Steve, Welcome to Fox

1860
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Thanks for hanging in there.

1861
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks guys.

1862
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 19: Yeah, first of all, down here Florida, man, Oh Cooper

1863
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 19: flag not knock the third leg of my parlay right

1864
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:15,360
Speaker 19: in the dirt, thanking mister Cooper. Anyway, I think Breonna

1865
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 19: and Doug a both right. He's staying in Los Angeles.

1866
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 19: You made up a really good point, and it made

1867
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:23,559
Speaker 19: me thinking about the offensive lines on the various teams

1868
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 19: that could.

1869
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 4: Use a quarterback.

1870
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 8: The Jets are the Jets.

1871
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 9: Are terrible, the Giants are terrible.

1872
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:33,679
Speaker 19: Minnesota is going to go young. Surely he's not going

1873
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 19: to Las Vegas. You made one good point, and it's

1874
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 19: not Pittsburgh because nobody wants to play for Pittsburgh because

1875
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:42,640
Speaker 19: they're a nine and seventeam every friggan year. So the

1876
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:46,840
Speaker 19: only team that makes any sense whatsoever is if he's

1877
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 19: willing to go to Indianapolis. And the only thing that

1878
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 19: makes sense to me in that regard is he's looking

1879
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:53,600
Speaker 19: at the fact that he can get back in the

1880
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 19: playoffs because it's a weak division.

1881
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 17: So what do you think about that?

1882
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:59,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's the thing. I appreciate the phone call, Steve.

1883
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 2: He's not fighting. The Rams aren't fighting to get in

1884
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You know, they're not in Week seventeen. It's like, oh,

1885
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 2: they gotta win there. I guess Week eighteen.

1886
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Now they got to win today to get in.

1887
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 2: You know, they were able to rest Stafford this year

1888
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen, right, they were really good the year before.

1889
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if you go back to you know, this show,

1890
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:23,639
Speaker 2: if it was Bernie, Oh it was Bernie too. Yeah,

1891
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 2: you probably go back to Bernie talking about it in

1892
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. I'd be willing to bet that there

1893
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 2: was a conversation heading into the playoffs that the Rams

1894
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 2: were the team that nobody wanted to face. I mean,

1895
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 2: if if Matt Stafford comes out and says he just

1896
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 2: wants something different, fine, you know what can we say?

1897
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:46,800
Speaker 1: It's you've earned that right in this league.

1898
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 2: If the Rams come out and say they want something different,

1899
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,440
Speaker 2: that's where for me, I'm just I'm perplexed.

1900
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense.

1901
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's wrap this segment up by going international. Ossie, way,

1902
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 2: am I saying that right in Australia? Or do you

1903
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 2: go with WAZ in Australia? ASSISI was welcome to.

1904
01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: The show Man. How's it going? Uh?

1905
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,680
Speaker 2: Are you still there? Our international line? I used to

1906
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,360
Speaker 2: love our Yeah, there you go? Okay, international line?

1907
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 1: All right? What's on your mind? As he wise? What

1908
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: do you got for us tonight?

1909
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 17: Astatic things? What do you actually say? Him on the

1910
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 17: side with a new coach, a bit of a presence,

1911
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 17: they have been there, done that and maybe helps lawyer.

1912
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:35,640
Speaker 1: So you're saying, don't dismiss the Saints in all of

1913
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 1: this right now?

1914
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 7: Oh?

1915
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense. So you're a member of the

1916
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:44,640
Speaker 2: Derek car haters club? What is what is going on

1917
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 2: right now?

1918
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Though? Ree with Chris Lave. I mean it's is it

1919
01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:50,559
Speaker 1: rumors about him being traded? Is he on the block?

1920
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 1: Where is that?

1921
01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:53,799
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he ended the season like super

1922
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 3: hurt and he was out for I think the last

1923
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 3: four or five games. But I agree with OSAs. I

1924
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 3: think that Stafford coming in and helping Spencer Rattler because

1925
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,440
Speaker 3: I have a lot of faith in Rattler, like disgusting

1926
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 3: amount of faith in Rattler, honestly.

1927
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,639
Speaker 17: But even with the new coach. You got the new coach,

1928
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 17: Jeff He's being for Dallas Cowboys, he was there. He's

1929
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:18,720
Speaker 17: a head coach, just a calm presence in the quarterback run.

1930
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, and he just won a Super Bowl, so

1931
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 2: he's got that confidence coming in as a head coach

1932
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,639
Speaker 2: and like you said, not a coach killer in Matt Stafford.

1933
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 2: And I think it's a very similar system to what

1934
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,680
Speaker 2: the Rams run, so you're not having to completely and

1935
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 2: totally revamp everything.

1936
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm here for do you know what Elsie was?

1937
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't think we.

1938
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 2: Can shut out anyone in this conversation right now. That's

1939
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 2: that's quarterback media. I think I think everyone that's in

1940
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 2: a quarterback void would be looking at bringing in a

1941
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 2: guy like Stafford.

1942
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 17: Well, the problem is is, oh, you have what two

1943
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 17: kivas expected on the first chance, everyone's going to be

1944
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 17: quarterback Nadi and they're gonna plays. That's going to be

1945
01:35:57,680 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 17: the problem.

1946
01:35:58,400 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you.

1947
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I will say this, the accident definitely

1948
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:04,600
Speaker 2: fits as sewast. Thanks for the call, buddy, and I

1949
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 2: appreciate you taking part in things, not just here tonight

1950
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 2: on the phones, but great interaction on Twitter too. Man,

1951
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 2: you got great perspective, even though at first I was

1952
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 2: very worried about that phone call, right, you know, like,

1953
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 2: oh gosh, our international line is broken.

1954
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:18,679
Speaker 1: International line. Hello.

1955
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 2: I don't think that you mark out anyone except maybe Tennessee.

1956
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that you and the NFC West San Francisco, Seattle.

1957
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 2: Maybe if this is something that's really going to happen,

1958
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 2: Maybe if you are the the Rams and you feel

1959
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 2: like there's something left in Matt Stafford and this isn't

1960
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 2: your decision, you're kind of having this forced upon you,

1961
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 2: then I don't know if I sent him anywhere in

1962
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 2: the NFC. I want them as far away from me

1963
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 2: as possible. Why wouldn't anyone want to play for the Steelers.

1964
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 2: I guess I one ofm I missing there, Brie. I mean,

1965
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,120
Speaker 2: why would why woulds all? You don't want to go

1966
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 2: to the Steelers and be a part of that?

1967
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: Why not?

1968
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 3: You're right, I guess I haven't really thought about that

1969
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 3: because I don't know what kind of weapons do you

1970
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:12,120
Speaker 3: have there? Like who wants to play with George Pickens? Yeah,

1971
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 3: that's true, you know, And I mean, and nothing against

1972
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,840
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, but like, I don't know, I kind of

1973
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 3: feel like he's probably losing the locker room a little bit.

1974
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 3: Just their culture just seems to be on the descent.

1975
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 2: I wonder, just because there hasn't been a lot of

1976
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 2: like thorough reporting on this yet, right, there's just been

1977
01:37:33,160 --> 01:37:35,760
Speaker 2: Colin Coward came up with some crazy rumor, let's see

1978
01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 2: how quickly we can shoot it down. Adam Schefter comes

1979
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 2: out and says that third pick is not in play, right,

1980
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 2: And then the next thing you know, Matthew Stafford is

1981
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 2: granted the right to pursue a trade, and then Mike

1982
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 2: Florio at Pro Football Talk magically theorizes that ooh, Aaron

1983
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:55,680
Speaker 2: Rodgers could be the guy that would come in and

1984
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 2: replay Stafford.

1985
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm just the genis this really hasn't

1986
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 1: been explained. Could it be? Could it be Stafford doesn't

1987
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: like some of the changes the Rams are making. I don't.

1988
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you're ready to leave because they talk

1989
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,719
Speaker 2: about trading Cooper Cup. I don't think that's a reason

1990
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:15,839
Speaker 2: a bolt. Could the Rams say, you know, Sean McVeigh

1991
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:19,679
Speaker 2: has not been afraid. I mean the Jared Goff trade

1992
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 2: is a great example. I think Jared Goff could still

1993
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 2: be the head coach of the Rams and they could

1994
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 2: still one am I saying Jared Goff could still be

1995
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback of the Rams, and they could still be

1996
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 2: a really good team. They could still be a team

1997
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 2: that's probably and I don't know if they win the

1998
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 2: Super Bowl over the Bengals, but I do think they're

1999
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,880
Speaker 2: a team that's consistently battling for it. But you go

2000
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 2: get Stafford and you take that next step and you

2001
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 2: make a move where Golf goes to Detroit and has

2002
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 2: kind of revitalized and resurrected his career in Detroit has

2003
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:52,360
Speaker 2: become a Super Bowl contender now. But I mean, it

2004
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 2: is McVeigh seeing something in the way that I don't

2005
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 2: know the zip isn't there.

2006
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: The juice isn't there, and so maybe it is a

2007
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 1: RAMS thing. I don't know, but it's it's very rare.

2008
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 2: It's very rare when you see a guy that's still

2009
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:11,679
Speaker 2: considered to be a top ten quarterback in the league

2010
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 2: that is able to go out and find a potential

2011
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 2: trade partner for him.

2012
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 1: This doesn't happen very often.

2013
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, there is a fascinating,

2014
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:25,200
Speaker 2: fascinating angle to this, and it's the draft angle. What

2015
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 2: does this mean now for the top five picks in

2016
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 2: the draft. And speaking of fascinating, Major League Baseball decides

2017
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 2: to give the old middle finger to ESPN. What does

2018
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 2: it mean going forward for the TV rights deals for

2019
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:40,800
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball? It's all coming up on a busy night.

2032
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 2: One thing we haven't really spent as much time on,

2033
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 2: maybe as we should has been that Lakers game open

2034
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 2: with it, but really didn't dive in because I've been

2035
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 2: all about this Matt Stafford trade rumor. But JJ Reddick afterwards,

2036
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 2: when the Lakers beat up on the Nuggets won twenty

2037
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 2: three to one hundred, Reddick talked about creating something that

2038
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:37,480
Speaker 2: he called a new normal.

2039
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 22: For Luca, the sort of return to normalcy and in

2040
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,760
Speaker 22: some ways a new normal that we're trying to create

2041
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 22: for him. There are steps to all of that for

2042
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 22: it to become his new normal, and you need in

2043
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:51,639
Speaker 22: some ways, like what about Bob?

2044
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 1: You need baby steps and you know tonight was a

2045
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: baby step, and.

2046
01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 2: Boy, what about Bob reference Holy smokes, JJ Reddick, let's

2047
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 2: show our age here, buddy, what about Bob? Either one

2048
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 2: of you ever see it?

2049
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 13: Brie?

2050
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,559
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, very good. Mark have you seen what about Bob?

2051
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 17: Yes?

2052
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:13,599
Speaker 1: Yes, very good. What's the I don't really.

2053
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 2: Know how to gauge the Rotten Tomatoes scores, but he

2054
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:19,639
Speaker 2: got eighty two on Rotten Tomatoes.

2055
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: Is that good?

2056
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:20,680
Speaker 3: That's a good thing?

2057
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,520
Speaker 1: Is that goods seven.

2058
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 2: Out of ten on IMDb underrated, great movie, good drop,

2059
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:32,599
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick moving up the depth chart, And he also

2060
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 2: talked about, you know, there's certain games that you get

2061
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 2: up for. The Nuggets have made a living off just

2062
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 2: crushing the Lakers. I as a Lakers fan, I was

2063
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 2: on vacation in Denver during the championship parade. It's like, yeah,

2064
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 2: what a great time to go to Denver to watch

2065
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 2: the Lakers get beaten and knocked out, and then basically

2066
01:41:56,160 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 2: Denver celebrated championship by middle fingering my team the whole

2067
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,640
Speaker 2: time in a bad way. And I think Reddick kind

2068
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 2: of acknowledged some of that after the game. For the Lakers,

2069
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:08,720
Speaker 2: there are just certain games that mean a little bit more.

2070
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 22: I thought our guy's conviction to execute a game plan

2071
01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 22: and stick with that game plan was excellent. There are

2072
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 22: certain moments about the season that you know, you just get,

2073
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 22: you just get up for. And I pretty much haven't

2074
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 22: slept since we walked up the court in Portland, and

2075
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 22: you know, I just spent a lot of time on

2076
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:27,640
Speaker 22: this game. Our staff spent a lot of time in

2077
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 22: this game. I envisioned our guys playing hard. They played

2078
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 22: harder than I could have envisioned. They battled tonight. Those

2079
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:33,799
Speaker 22: are the two things that stood out.

2080
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 2: One twenty three, one hundred, the Lakers won the game.

2081
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 2: A couple of other post game notes, and then we'll

2082
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 2: move on Luca. You heard earlier he talked about finally

2083
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 2: feeling about himself. Here's what he had to say about

2084
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers chemistry.

2085
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 20: I think we've still got a lot of improvement. You know,

2086
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,720
Speaker 20: I just can't play. This is my full game, so

2087
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 20: you know, chemistry takes time. But you see today him

2088
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 20: after three games, you saw today that is getting better.

2089
01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:58,040
Speaker 8: So every day is going to get better.

2090
01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 2: And how wild is it with the Lakers just won

2091
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 2: a game by twenty three and we haven't even heard

2092
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,719
Speaker 2: from Lebron James yet, but he's he season.

2093
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Luca, what we all saw tonight.

2094
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 23: Yeah, absolutely, super doubt in. You know, he was very

2095
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 23: you know, just locked in on it on what he

2096
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:14,960
Speaker 23: wanted to do out here on the floor tonight. Unless

2097
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 23: he you know, sorry, he knows step back three is

2098
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 23: they get the yelling and barking, you know, either at

2099
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:21,639
Speaker 23: the fans or at us at himself. We had every

2100
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 23: right to I don't think he said too much to

2101
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:25,640
Speaker 23: get the tea kind of picking on this right now

2102
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 23: with the short leaves on technicals.

2103
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: But he got hit in the head before the half.

2104
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:30,720
Speaker 23: Besides that, he was he was just dowdy and what

2105
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 23: he wanted to do and how he wanted to execute

2106
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 23: his game plan individually.

2107
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,559
Speaker 2: And the Lakers finally gonna win over Denver in Denver,

2108
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:39,760
Speaker 2: a feeling of getting over the hump.

2109
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 23: He kept our composure. Then we hit some shots I

2110
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 23: think grew. We hit back to back threes or he

2111
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 23: hit one, ar hit one, and then Luca hit one

2112
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 23: to pump the lead back up, I believe tow eleven

2113
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 23: they called the timeouse so and but more importantly, we

2114
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 23: got we got stop. See when they you know, when

2115
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 23: they made that run to cut it the one we scored,

2116
01:43:57,920 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 23: we got to stop. Scored again, we got to stop.

2117
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 23: So he was able to bump it back up. So,

2118
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 23: you know, we've been in a lot of games this year.

2119
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,120
Speaker 23: We've been able to hold our composure, you know, throughout

2120
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 23: adverse times on the road and at home.

2121
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:09,639
Speaker 1: So I think that networks for our advantish night. Yeah,

2122
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,120
Speaker 1: good win for the Lakers last night. It's kind of funny.

2123
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 2: We spent a lot of time talking about the face

2124
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:19,400
Speaker 2: of the League conversation and had a good call from Denver,

2125
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 2: and we talked about Joe Kich not being in that

2126
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 2: conversation for some reason, even though he's won, you know,

2127
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 2: three MVPs, probably should have won more. And then the

2128
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 2: Lakers go out and do that. I feel like I

2129
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 2: gave him the reverse to Jinks and maybe that was part.

2130
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:35,679
Speaker 1: Of the goal.

2131
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:39,719
Speaker 2: And here we are two hours and thirty three minutes

2132
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 2: into the show, Bree, and we haven't talked about the

2133
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns getting it done.

2134
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:46,559
Speaker 1: Left when it goes to field right open for three,

2135
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 1: he got it.

2136
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 21: Probably beal from downtown right on time.

2137
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 1: Give him twenty five on.

2138
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 21: The afternoon and the Suns go up six with thirteen

2139
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 21: point four seconds left.

2140
01:44:57,120 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 2: Now that moves Phoenix within one game of the play

2141
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 2: in tournament. We are at let's see that is twenty

2142
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,719
Speaker 2: seven plus twenty nine carry the one sixteen fifty six.

2143
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:09,760
Speaker 2: So what a way twenty six games to go in

2144
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 2: the season. Are you rooting for the play in tournament?

2145
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 2: You gotta make the playoffs because you don't even have

2146
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 2: any future draft picks, right, Yeah, this is we just have.

2147
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 1: To win out.

2148
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 3: Honestly at this point, that's what I'm thinking, Like, this

2149
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 3: is ridiculous.

2150
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy, though, is the difference between the

2151
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 2: sixth seed right now and being the eleventh seed is

2152
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:37,160
Speaker 2: four games four and a half. I guess technically that

2153
01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 2: sounds doable now.

2154
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 1: I know it's not.

2155
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 2: I know it's not major League Baseball and we're not

2156
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 2: talking about one hundred and sixty two games here. It's

2157
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 2: half that. But still still, I wouldn't want to see

2158
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:51,000
Speaker 2: Phoenix in the play in tournament or in the first round.

2159
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:53,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want anything to do with them. You just

2160
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,120
Speaker 2: never know, you know what they remind me of during

2161
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:59,160
Speaker 2: the regular season, Brion, Obviously you watched them a hell

2162
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 2: of a lot more than I have. They remind me

2163
01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 2: of some of the Lakers teams of the last few

2164
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 2: years where just kind of I don't want to say

2165
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 2: sleep walking, but injuries and maybe not getting their best

2166
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:10,800
Speaker 2: effort and then all of a sudden they get into

2167
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs and the next thing you know, they win

2168
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:15,639
Speaker 2: a series or they're a problem in a series.

2169
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to see Phoenix in the playoffs.

2170
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 3: But that's what I thought last year, Like that's how

2171
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,839
Speaker 3: I had that mentality last year, and then they got swept.

2172
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess that's just like my I'm

2173
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 3: just a little bit worried. I mean, it's it's obviously

2174
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 3: a different team. We have a new coach r you know,

2175
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:34,679
Speaker 3: we have Tias Jones, but they benched Higas Jones today.

2176
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 3: They put Bradley Beal back in the starting lineup, so

2177
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:39,679
Speaker 3: we didn't even play with like a like a true

2178
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 3: point guard.

2179
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

2180
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 16: Yeah.

2181
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:41,760
Speaker 9: And so.

2182
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 3: It was the first time since like the end of

2183
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 3: January that like the Big Three they were like in

2184
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,920
Speaker 3: the actual like starting lineup together. And they won barely.

2185
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 3: Like I watched the last five minutes of the game.

2186
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 3: I just I had just got to work in the

2187
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 3: last five minutes. I was watching it in the and

2188
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 3: they barely won. Yeah, So, I mean by four points.

2189
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 3: And to lose to Chicago, like that's just that they're

2190
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:09,839
Speaker 3: ten and twenty at home the Bulls.

2191
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: Like that, You're mad. I Like, you're like me, you're

2192
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 1: mad that it was a close game. Oh it was.

2193
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 3: It was so close. It was too close game, like

2194
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 3: it's it's not a I mean it's a win, but

2195
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:21,960
Speaker 3: it's like a moral loss, Like I don't know what

2196
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 3: to say.

2197
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, a trio of highlights from the college game today.

2198
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 2: The number one team in the country. Look the part today.

2199
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 2: They're Steel saved by Kane Cardwell, runs it down, runs

2200
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:34,840
Speaker 2: it ahead for Tad Bacon his arm.

2201
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 4: Hey no, look by Cbm to Broom hen at home.

2202
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 2: If you're talking about the battle for player of the

2203
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 2: year between Broom and Flag. Not a bad day for Broom.

2204
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 2: Thirty one points, fourteen boards. Auburn b Georgia eighty two

2205
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,960
Speaker 2: to seventy. Cooper Flag though kind of went with the

2206
01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:59,280
Speaker 2: over the top grip, was amazing today against Illinois.

2207
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 21: Up two for the other way, fifteen twenty to go

2208
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 21: Clagg go wait for help. Now he'll drop down.

2209
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: B Boswell goes up.

2210
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 21: Off the window of town. He's just toying with Illinois

2211
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 21: right now, and he'll have a chance for three when.

2212
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:12,800
Speaker 1: We come back.

2213
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 2: Sixteen point seven boards for Flag. Duke handed Illinois it's

2214
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 2: worst loss ever, one ten sixty seven. And then what

2215
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 2: I thought was one of the funner games of the night,

2216
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 2: Alabama got back on track against Kentucky.

2217
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:30,360
Speaker 21: Going by Halloway, Calloway top of the arc to his rid,

2218
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:32,520
Speaker 21: he goes to the Ramy goes.

2219
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: And total more points. It is a Halloway kitness done

2220
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:39,640
Speaker 1: nineteen for the.

2221
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 12: Little Guard and Beamale's high twelve again with five forty

2222
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 12: seven of.

2223
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,560
Speaker 2: Eighty they would lead by thirteen when all of a

2224
01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 2: sudden ninety six eighty three the final score. Also tonight,

2225
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:55,440
Speaker 2: Late Night in Arizona BYU upsets the Wildcats of Arizona

2226
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 2: on a terrible late game foul call. Final score in

2227
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 2: ninety six to ninety five. So there's some of the

2228
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 2: news and notes we've been following tonight. Let's slide it

2229
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 2: Bill from Jacksonville off the phones at eight seven, seven

2230
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 2: ninety nine on Fox Bill.

2231
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. What's going on? Buddy good?

2232
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:11,720
Speaker 7: Isn't sir?

2233
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 1: Hey Bill?

2234
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 8: Every time something pops up with the quarterback situation, I

2235
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:20,719
Speaker 8: keep hearing this Aaron Rodgers name he mentioned. Okay, yeah,

2236
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:25,320
Speaker 8: it is ridiculous. Anybody. I'm a baseball guy, not a

2237
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 8: football guy, but anybody in the NFL can't see his

2238
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 8: legs a shot beyond help. He moves back there like

2239
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 8: forget what he moves like. It's ridiculous. He's not being signed.

2240
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 8: And the only reason Aaron Rodgers name keeps getting talked

2241
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 8: about is because I don't want to sound bad, but

2242
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 8: some of you guys got nothing else to talk about

2243
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 8: but this stupid guy, Aaron Rodgers. They're not going to

2244
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 8: pay him the kind of money he wants. Number one,

2245
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:57,320
Speaker 8: number two players on his team hate his guts, and

2246
01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 8: he's not changing.

2247
01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:02,160
Speaker 4: He's mentally like the way he talks.

2248
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:05,559
Speaker 8: Jerome's flying around over New Jersey.

2249
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 4: I mean, he is a complete.

2250
01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 8: Idiot, besides having the legs of his shot, and he

2251
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:15,040
Speaker 8: keeps getting talked about. I have no idea why there's

2252
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 8: nobody taking him.

2253
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:18,280
Speaker 9: Him.

2254
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, frunk call. I don't disagree with the

2255
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: aesthetics of it. You watch Aaron Rodgers play, you see

2256
01:50:26,439 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 1: a guy that when he starts to move, you're like,

2257
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: what's he doing? What's what's he doing?

2258
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:36,439
Speaker 2: But even at forty one years old, there's this thought

2259
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:40,800
Speaker 2: that he's got one more run in him. I Bill,

2260
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 2: you don't have to sell me any more on it.

2261
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but I'm just telling you same

2262
01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 2: thing that he mentioned. He was a baseball guy. Right,

2263
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,599
Speaker 2: there's not a single Dodger fan out there that doesn't think, hey.

2264
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:56,479
Speaker 1: Man, who knows with Kershaw? I know he's getting up there,

2265
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 1: but you know, if.

2266
01:50:57,360 --> 01:50:59,160
Speaker 2: He can stay healthy, get in a little bit of

2267
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,400
Speaker 2: a groove, even though you see him and his body

2268
01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:03,719
Speaker 2: shot and it's breaking down on him, you still believe

2269
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 2: that you can recapture that glory of the good old days.

2270
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: The funny, you know what's wild to me is the Aaron.

2271
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,560
Speaker 2: Rodgers won eighty by Colin has been one of the

2272
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 2: more wild one eighties to follow in a long time,

2273
01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 2: because everybody that heard was burying him of the last

2274
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:24,680
Speaker 2: couple of years, and now all of a sudden, it's like, hey,

2275
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:26,880
Speaker 2: look at the last ten games, played pretty good with

2276
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:30,759
Speaker 2: the Jets. I don't think he did. And he's gonna

2277
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:32,720
Speaker 2: have suitors. He's going to have people that bring him in.

2278
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 2: I just don't know if it's going to be at

2279
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 2: the level that he thinks or wants. It's like, and again,

2280
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 2: I know, you feel like I overly defend Derek Carr,

2281
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 2: but he said something that I thought was absolutely insane,

2282
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 2: and it was, well, I've earned the right, you know,

2283
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:50,160
Speaker 2: to say no to a pay cut, and to a

2284
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 2: certain extent, you're right, But you've also in big moments

2285
01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:58,080
Speaker 2: in New Orleans, you've been hurt and you haven't been there.

2286
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 2: Even when things were going well for a while, you

2287
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:03,640
Speaker 2: go down with an injury and then you can't recapture it.

2288
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 2: So I feel like Aaron Rodgers is kind of in

2289
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 2: that category too. And as much as you want to

2290
01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 2: sit here and say no one wants him, no one's

2291
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 2: gonna sign him. Hey, Bri, you expect Aaron Rodgers to

2292
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 2: get a big free agent deal this offseason with someone

2293
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:17,600
Speaker 2: and be their starting quarterback, because.

2294
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 1: I sure do. Of course, absolutely, of course is he

2295
01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 1: Is he different?

2296
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 11: Does he?

2297
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 2: Does he talk about things like your crazy uncle or

2298
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 2: my wife my Yeah? Absolutely, and that's fine. We need

2299
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything to help make the world

2300
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 2: go round. But I don't I mean, I don't know

2301
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 2: that he's despised by his teammates. I can't sit here

2302
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 2: and say that I'm not in the Jets locker room.

2303
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 2: I wasn't in the Packers locker room. But I know that,

2304
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:49,760
Speaker 2: you know, people will look at it and say, well,

2305
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 2: he's still completed sixty three percent of his passes still

2306
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 2: through for almost four thousand yards a season after a

2307
01:52:58,120 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 2: season after he missed the entire year due to an

2308
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 2: achilles explosion. He played all seventeen games.

2309
01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:07,839
Speaker 1: You know, he's.

2310
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:12,880
Speaker 2: He threw twenty eight touchdown passes, which was more than

2311
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:17,960
Speaker 2: his final year in Green Bay. Like, I just I

2312
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:21,800
Speaker 2: know it sounds crazy, but he's He's going to be

2313
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 2: a guy that's going to have a handful of offers. Now,

2314
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:29,960
Speaker 2: will one of those be the Rams? That's kind of

2315
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,760
Speaker 2: what we're waiting to find out. That's kind of what

2316
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 2: everyone is curious. Will one of those be the Steelers?

2317
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:40,600
Speaker 2: I kind of think Aaron Rodgers at Pittsburgh would be fascinating.

2318
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:43,760
Speaker 2: And to Bill's point, is it a situation where you've

2319
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,600
Speaker 2: got to find the perfect locker room just because of

2320
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 2: the personality that he is. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers not a

2321
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 2: popular guy to Bill and Jacksonville. We'll get a break

2322
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 2: cat your tweets next and then we'll talk about the

2323
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 2: NFL Draft right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2324
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,559
Speaker 1: I've not done a good job on Twitter.

2325
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 2: Tonight, I'll bust myself out Gunner Shady, Sean, Crystal, Nature Boy,

2326
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: Jason b All you guys who had great takes, Chiefs

2327
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 2: Chief seventy two.

2328
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to them all coming up, I promise. But

2329
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:20,720
Speaker 1: here's where I need your help.

2330
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:24,439
Speaker 2: On Twitter, bre asked a question during the break and

2331
01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 2: Mark gave the best answer so far off the heels

2332
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 2: of Bill and Jacksonville's phone call, which was just a

2333
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 2: takedown of Aaron Rodgers.

2334
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:39,000
Speaker 1: Nobody wants him terrible in a locker room.

2335
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:44,920
Speaker 2: Basically, Bill's call on Jacksonville sounds like the conversation that

2336
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 2: I have with myself in the mirror every single day.

2337
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:49,440
Speaker 1: So it sounded real familiar with that in mind.

2338
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:53,360
Speaker 2: Bre you asked, is there a quarterback that you guys

2339
01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:57,360
Speaker 2: can think of that had generated this kind of disdain

2340
01:54:57,440 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 2: that seems.

2341
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 1: To be out there for Aaron Rodgers? Right? And Mark

2342
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: right away said Jeff George.

2343
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 2: And I had to laugh because that's a deep cut, right,

2344
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:08,960
Speaker 2: That's a WCW deep cut.

2345
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 1: But it's a deep cut. But it's true.

2346
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 2: And so I was just a quick little Google search

2347
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,040
Speaker 2: to try to double check on the you know, the

2348
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 2: teams in the years, and literally the first thing we

2349
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:23,080
Speaker 2: saw Mark was most hated quarterback of all time.

2350
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 1: Jeff George, good pull on your part.

2351
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 5: That's the name that comes up in my mind with

2352
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:31,280
Speaker 5: people did he just did not care for him And

2353
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:34,320
Speaker 5: I mean he could play. Oh, they loved his arm,

2354
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:38,320
Speaker 5: but his personality and they saw something that he did

2355
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 5: just bugged everybody.

2356
01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:43,040
Speaker 2: And I liked him because at that time, I grew

2357
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 2: up in I grew up in a small town on

2358
01:55:45,240 --> 01:55:49,280
Speaker 2: the border of Missouri and Illinois, and so you had

2359
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 2: to choose were you a Missouri fan or an Illinois fan?

2360
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 2: And Jeff George was slinging it for Illinois. He was

2361
01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:59,360
Speaker 2: wildly impressive in college. I mean, the dude was the

2362
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:02,600
Speaker 2: first pick in the draft, and if I'm not mistaken,

2363
01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 2: kind of had a little bit of the Todd Marinovitch

2364
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 2: where he had been He'd been groomed for it, his

2365
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 2: family had prepared him for it. Whenever he finally went

2366
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 2: number one overall in the draft, and what was that

2367
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety number one, number one of the Colts. Only

2368
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,879
Speaker 2: lasted four seasons there and then he was off to Atlanta.

2369
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 2: Let Atlanta to the playoffs. Anyway, I don't need to

2370
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 2: go down to Jeff George rabbit hole here. But who

2371
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 2: else would we put on this list?

2372
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 1: Brie?

2373
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:31,800
Speaker 2: Who are some other name? Would Russell Wilson belong on

2374
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 2: this list of guys who are as polarizing as Aaron

2375
01:56:35,920 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 2: Rodgers has become.

2376
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 3: And very alienating, especially like when he started when he

2377
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 3: married like Sierra, right, like that whole his whole personality

2378
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:44,919
Speaker 3: like changed.

2379
01:56:46,040 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm Mitch, yeah, big time diva. So we got Jeff George,

2380
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:55,840
Speaker 2: We've got Russell Wilson. We throw Aaron Rodgers in our

2381
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: list of I guess maybe hate is the word the

2382
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,880
Speaker 2: most hatable quarter of that we've talked about. Now, there's

2383
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:05,600
Speaker 2: certain guys that at some point the franchise or the

2384
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 2: fan base can't stand him. You know, Kirk, we had

2385
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 2: someone with cousins hated Minnesota, Derek Carr. I mean, hell,

2386
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 2: they at certain points they loved him and hated him

2387
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 2: in Vegas and Ann in Oakland.

2388
01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:19,720
Speaker 1: I an'swer a good one.

2389
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, I mean, Dak's got a complicated legacy right

2390
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 2: now with the Cowboys. Hell, you know what, speaking of

2391
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:32,560
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, maybe Tony Romo fits that void, right. Romo

2392
01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 2: has become a little bit more lovable, But even I

2393
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 2: find that there is that after the initial excitement of

2394
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:41,200
Speaker 2: how Romo's calling every play, look at this, he's great.

2395
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 2: After that's kind of war off that it's dained for

2396
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 2: him a lot of people. He kind of reached a

2397
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 2: point where it's like, gotcha, Romo kind of sucks, you know,

2398
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 2: whenever it comes to being a football player.

2399
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:55,120
Speaker 1: But I don't know that's the fans didn't like his girlfriend.

2400
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:58,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was a brittany Jessica Simpson. You can

2401
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:02,760
Speaker 1: get my my early two thousand blonde.

2402
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 2: Mixed up because it was anyone old enough to remember

2403
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:08,600
Speaker 2: the Jessica Simpson nic Lache.

2404
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 3: Really, I have the DVD set. Not gonna lie. I'm

2405
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 3: not gonna lie.

2406
01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 16: I did.

2407
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 23: I was.

2408
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 3: I was really into it.

2409
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:16,960
Speaker 1: I would tell you something.

2410
01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 2: I I got married in two thousand and my my

2411
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 2: wife and I we divorced, you know, seven before I

2412
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 2: got remarried, and that was two thousand and oh. Seven

2413
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 2: was when that show was kind of kicking, right, if

2414
01:58:28,680 --> 01:58:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, or was it a little later than that.

2415
01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 3: No, that was around that time.

2416
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:34,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to make sure you get my timeframe's

2417
01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 2: wife right, and I don't mess up my wife's We

2418
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 2: watched that incessantly. That was like our show, and it

2419
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:48,200
Speaker 2: was hilarious. But yeah, Romo was not He wasn't really

2420
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 2: well liked as a player. It's just it's it's wild

2421
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 2: because now today you have Twitter and you have Facebook,

2422
01:58:54,680 --> 01:58:56,760
Speaker 2: and I don't know if people give sports takes on

2423
01:58:56,840 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 2: Instagram and TikTok or not, but the reaction that people

2424
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 2: seem to have to Aaron Rodgers is really unlike anything

2425
01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:06,080
Speaker 2: we've seen.

2426
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 1: And a lot of it too. There's some politics that's

2427
01:59:09,120 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 1: involved in it. You know, people feel some sort of

2428
01:59:12,280 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 1: way about where they view as political leanings, and I'm

2429
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:19,520
Speaker 1: sure that factors into it. How he feels about what

2430
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:20,720
Speaker 1: was the term that he used.

2431
01:59:20,520 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 2: For vaccination immunizations, right, And it's just there's a lot

2432
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 2: to dislike for some Ayawatska trips things of that nature.

2433
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:35,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know if he was quite as despised

2434
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:37,720
Speaker 2: as Jeff George's. That was a good one, I think

2435
01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 2: in the modern era, though, he is definitely up there

2436
01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:42,320
Speaker 2: as one of the most disliked quarterbacks we've had.

Speaker 2: some of your tweets. I got to Jason kelce take

2448
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:25,560
Speaker 2: on Travis Kelce. I did not know, and I just

2449
02:00:25,720 --> 02:00:29,919
Speaker 2: learned this tonight that Ernie and Chuck have a podcast.

2450
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:33,160
Speaker 2: Ernie Johnson and Chuck Barkley have a podcast, and they

2451
02:00:33,280 --> 02:00:36,640
Speaker 2: had they had Jason kelcey on and they talked about

2452
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:40,640
Speaker 2: Travis's future, which I think in the short term. I

2453
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:42,919
Speaker 2: think in the short term we got three major stories

2454
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:46,920
Speaker 2: and there's more, but three major stories outside of the

2455
02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:50,240
Speaker 2: draft that will be monitoring over the next few weeks

2456
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:52,440
Speaker 2: in the NFL leading up to the start of the

2457
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:55,400
Speaker 2: new league year on March twelfth. It is now you

2458
02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 2: know Matt Stafford's future and what happens with Stafford? Number two,

2459
02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 2: the Miles Garrett trade request, how would the Browns handle that?

2460
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 2: And then third only because I still think their championship

2461
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:11,440
Speaker 2: window is wide open for the Chiefs. It is the

2462
02:01:11,520 --> 02:01:14,560
Speaker 2: future of Travis Kelcey and whether or not he's done,

2463
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 2: and if he wants to come back for another year,

2464
02:01:16,600 --> 02:01:19,080
Speaker 2: and if he does, what that looks like contractionally and

2465
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:23,000
Speaker 2: financially for the Chiefs. So you'll hear from Jason Kelcey

2466
02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:26,160
Speaker 2: on that in just a bit. Tweets at Plank Show

2467
02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:29,080
Speaker 2: is a way to get in touch with things. I

2468
02:01:29,200 --> 02:01:31,800
Speaker 2: mentioned that Tony Romo might be in that group of

2469
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:36,720
Speaker 2: players that quarterbacks specifically right, that people look at and say,

2470
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 2: can't stand him, can't stand him Timmy Wrights. As an

2471
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:45,000
Speaker 2: ex Cowboy fan, we never said Romo sucked. We had

2472
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:49,040
Speaker 2: so many bad quarterbacks before him. He broke every record

2473
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:54,360
Speaker 2: before Dak did Timmy. If you're an ex Cowboy fan,

2474
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:57,200
Speaker 2: then you hang around a lot of different Cowboy fans

2475
02:01:57,240 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 2: than I did because Tony Romo, and by the way,

2476
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 2: I do, probably spend time around the most critical Cowboy

2477
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:06,480
Speaker 2: fan of them all. Have you ever had that experience before,

2478
02:02:06,560 --> 02:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Bree or Mark, to where you're not really a fan

2479
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:12,240
Speaker 2: of a team, like we get the Cowboys crammed down

2480
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:15,560
Speaker 2: our throat In my market where I live, and unless

2481
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:17,720
Speaker 2: I want to move, I'm kind of stuck with that,

2482
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:21,880
Speaker 2: But I don't spend a lot of time like hanging

2483
02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 2: out in Cowboy chat rooms or on Facebook and Cowboy groups.

2484
02:02:26,520 --> 02:02:29,480
Speaker 1: And I have one of my buddies, TJ.

2485
02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:33,360
Speaker 2: Perry, who's a Cowboy fan and might be about the

2486
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,840
Speaker 2: most negative Cowboy fan I've ever met in my life. Like,

2487
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if he really truly likes the team.

2488
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:40,920
Speaker 2: I think he hates everyone. And so maybe that's unfair

2489
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:43,720
Speaker 2: of me to say, because Timmy, my view of how

2490
02:02:43,800 --> 02:02:47,760
Speaker 2: Cowboy fans of you Tony Romo was probably predicated off

2491
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:49,280
Speaker 2: his take on when.

2492
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:49,920
Speaker 1: Romo was there.

2493
02:02:50,680 --> 02:02:54,840
Speaker 2: But I'm just we're coming up with a hypothetical list.

2494
02:02:55,880 --> 02:02:58,480
Speaker 2: If you were to say Aaron Rodgers like our caller

2495
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Bill and Jacksonville did to wrap up our number three,

2496
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 2: who else would you add to that list of quarterbacks

2497
02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:05,440
Speaker 2: that are polarizing?

2498
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:10,400
Speaker 1: What was the word that you that you used, off putting, alienating?

2499
02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:13,360
Speaker 2: There you go, off putting sounds like something my mom

2500
02:03:13,400 --> 02:03:15,960
Speaker 2: would say that it's very off putting of you to

2501
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:18,600
Speaker 2: do that, Chris, and not like putting, eating it like

2502
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 2: off putting.

2503
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, I I don't know.

2504
02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm glad that maybe there's a Cowboy fan that's like Yeah,

2505
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 2: we love Romo, but there is one thing that is

2506
02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 2: crystal clear.

2507
02:03:30,920 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: One thing.

2508
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:36,120
Speaker 2: Drew Bledsoe had a nice runs as a veteran quarterback

2509
02:03:36,200 --> 02:03:39,680
Speaker 2: that bounced around a bit right. He ended up with

2510
02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:44,400
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, and I don't want to necessarily say that

2511
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:49,960
Speaker 2: it was good, but it wasn't awful. But his point

2512
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:55,880
Speaker 2: that the Cowboys quarterback carousel was terrible before Tony Romo.

2513
02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 2: Here's a list of some guys who started games for

2514
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:05,080
Speaker 2: the Cowboys before Romo became their everyday starting quarterback. Quincy Carter, who,

2515
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 2: by the way, is an amazing redemption story now are recovering.

2516
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 2: I think Alcoholic has a great charity that he works

2517
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:19,880
Speaker 2: down in Georgia where he's an alum. Quincy Carter, Chad Hutchinson,

2518
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 2: Drew Henson, Vinnie Testaverdi was a Cowboy, remember that Clint Sterner.

2519
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:31,720
Speaker 2: There was also a Randall Cunningham Cowboys era, and even

2520
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:35,040
Speaker 2: Ryan Leaf who started three games along with Anthony Wright.

2521
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:42,320
Speaker 2: So point taken, point taken, Gunner, would of ours Jackson

2522
02:04:42,520 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 2: be another one? Well, I mean I think that would

2523
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:48,960
Speaker 2: be specific to like Seahawk fans if they couldn't stand him.

2524
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:51,920
Speaker 2: By the way, rest in peace, to VARs Jackson, It's

2525
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:55,240
Speaker 2: kind of like you with with Carr or Andy Dalton, right,

2526
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean, they were not very good when they played

2527
02:04:57,760 --> 02:05:00,080
Speaker 2: for your team, so when that happens, you're like, I

2528
02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 2: can't stand that guy. He sucks, Right, that's how you

2529
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:07,080
Speaker 2: feel about any I think Jets fans are going to

2530
02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:10,560
Speaker 2: hate Aaron Rodgers for the rest of eternity. Boy, that

2531
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:12,920
Speaker 2: was an amazing moment right when he ran out with

2532
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 2: a flag. But I mean, Reepacker fans probably still have

2533
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,640
Speaker 2: nice things to say about Aaron Rodgers because of the

2534
02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 2: success he brought them. But his Jets fans ever gonna

2535
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:26,440
Speaker 2: say anything nice about Aaron Rodgers in the future. No,

2536
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:31,560
Speaker 2: probably not No, so yeah. T Varius Jackson rest in peace.

2537
02:05:31,600 --> 02:05:33,920
Speaker 2: Died at the age of thirty six years old. Man,

2538
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:37,720
Speaker 2: way to bring up the dead guy, But no, I

2539
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 2: think that's fair. Gunner Howard writes, Guys, I'm checking in

2540
02:05:43,600 --> 02:05:46,200
Speaker 2: to let you know that Bree is awesome and doing

2541
02:05:46,240 --> 02:05:49,839
Speaker 2: an awesome job tonight and even brought out the heart emoji.

2542
02:05:49,960 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 2: Well done, Howard, Oh, DJ Howie t Oh. That means

2543
02:05:55,320 --> 02:06:01,280
Speaker 2: he is a chick magnet. Crystal new in rule hear

2544
02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:04,360
Speaker 2: me out all buckets are two points even beyond the

2545
02:06:04,400 --> 02:06:07,960
Speaker 2: three point line at the five minute mark of each quarter,

2546
02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 2: you activate the three point rule.

2547
02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:15,800
Speaker 1: What do you think? Okay, I'm not saying no. I'm

2548
02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:16,640
Speaker 1: sure there'd be some.

2549
02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure there'd be some outset players, because I would

2550
02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 2: imagine there would be what maybe some point per game

2551
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 2: totals you want to reach in order to hit.

2552
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:35,120
Speaker 1: Certain contractual levels. Right, But three point three point line

2553
02:06:35,240 --> 02:06:37,120
Speaker 1: is the game now, man, it is the game.

2554
02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 2: We had a caller earlier in the show that was

2555
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:42,880
Speaker 2: talking about concerns over the college game becoming too much

2556
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:45,920
Speaker 2: like the pro game where everyone's just jacking up threes.

2557
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:49,320
Speaker 1: You are tearing away at the fabric of the game

2558
02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:50,400
Speaker 1: if you do that, Crystal.

2559
02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:53,920
Speaker 2: We're reading your tweets tonight on the show about all

2560
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:57,320
Speaker 2: the different topics we've dove into. My man, nature boy

2561
02:06:57,480 --> 02:07:01,440
Speaker 2: Eddie has this fix. How about this NBA All Star

2562
02:07:01,560 --> 02:07:07,560
Speaker 2: Games suggestion? Pit the NBA Dogs versus the Slackers. See

2563
02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:10,520
Speaker 2: if the pride of the Slackers wakes them up against

2564
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:13,240
Speaker 2: a team of hungry players trying to make a name

2565
02:07:13,320 --> 02:07:13,960
Speaker 2: for themselves.

2566
02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:17,960
Speaker 1: So let's see, who would you have on the slackers?

2567
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard is Paul George healthy.

2568
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:26,480
Speaker 3: He has a pinky issue. Oh that's right, Yes, Unfortunately

2569
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:28,320
Speaker 3: Joelle Embid he'd have to throw in there.

2570
02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: He'd be on the Slackers.

2571
02:07:30,520 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 3: James Harden has kind of turned a new leaf being

2572
02:07:32,880 --> 02:07:35,240
Speaker 3: in La or else I would have put him in there.

2573
02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Isn't it wild?

2574
02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:40,920
Speaker 2: And it's not like he suddenly becomes some sort of

2575
02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:46,560
Speaker 2: defensive stopper of anything, right, but he's he's pretty reliable

2576
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:51,160
Speaker 2: for the Clippers, So I wouldn't quite a year ago,

2577
02:07:51,360 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 2: two years ago, three years ago, he might have been

2578
02:07:53,600 --> 02:07:57,320
Speaker 2: the top pick, right, but now he's turned that around

2579
02:07:57,360 --> 02:08:02,200
Speaker 2: a bit. Yeah, that Team Slacker team would be loaded.

2580
02:08:02,560 --> 02:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis can't even go on Team Slackers his his injuries, right.

2581
02:08:07,240 --> 02:08:09,680
Speaker 2: I don't even think Kyrie could go on Team Slacker.

2582
02:08:10,600 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 3: No, and he's kind of turned a new leaf too

2583
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:13,560
Speaker 3: in Dallas.

2584
02:08:14,480 --> 02:08:20,800
Speaker 2: Now the team go getters, Shay, I mean, John Morant

2585
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 2: is kind of Benna go getter this year green down

2586
02:08:24,640 --> 02:08:26,800
Speaker 2: in Houston an aunt.

2587
02:08:27,080 --> 02:08:29,240
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, a big would be totally.

2588
02:08:29,560 --> 02:08:32,720
Speaker 1: Oh why why did I Brunson.

2589
02:08:34,600 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 3: MIKEL Bridges. I'm just gonna throw in there, just on

2590
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:38,200
Speaker 3: the bench. I love I like it.

2591
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. I like the idea.

2592
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Nature Boy, here's the problem that we have. Who is

2593
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 2: going to be the person that's going to let the

2594
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 2: players know which team they're on? Hi, listen, congratulations you

2595
02:08:50,360 --> 02:08:53,200
Speaker 2: made the All Star team. You're actually all team Slackers.

2596
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:58,200
Speaker 2: What great idea? Jason B. Diamond with the double shot.

2597
02:08:58,720 --> 02:09:01,840
Speaker 2: He writes on Major League Baseball, which again is the

2598
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:04,640
Speaker 2: topic perfect timing that I wanted to jump into here.

2599
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 2: If Major League Baseball had a competent commissioner who loved

2600
02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:13,520
Speaker 2: the game like a fan, they wouldn't have these problems.

2601
02:09:13,920 --> 02:09:16,800
Speaker 2: Say that you will about Adam Silver. They would have

2602
02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:19,320
Speaker 2: these problems. Say what you will about Adam Silver and

2603
02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:23,000
Speaker 2: Gary Bettman. They're doing everything they can to improve on

2604
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:27,280
Speaker 2: the court and on the ice. Bob has hurt the

2605
02:09:27,360 --> 02:09:30,440
Speaker 2: fans since nineteen ninety four, but he still makes money.

2606
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:38,240
Speaker 2: If MLB shuts down in twenty twenty seven, fifty year

2607
02:09:38,240 --> 02:09:41,600
Speaker 2: old Jason isn't going back like seventeen year old Jason

2608
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:44,400
Speaker 2: did in nineteen ninety five. I'll sit on my porch

2609
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:47,400
Speaker 2: feeding my dogs and teach them how to play wifle ball.

2610
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you something.

2611
02:09:49,320 --> 02:09:52,760
Speaker 2: If I could get my two dogs, Tater and butters

2612
02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 2: to play little whiffle ball.

2613
02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:57,680
Speaker 1: I might retire. I might retire. Let me know if

2614
02:09:57,720 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 1: you have any tricks.

2615
02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 2: Jason, what have you made of Major League Baseball's last

2616
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 2: forty eight hours? And well, I'm not even talking about

2617
02:10:09,520 --> 02:10:12,160
Speaker 2: Juan Soto's debuta with a home run, and I'm sure

2618
02:10:12,880 --> 02:10:16,920
Speaker 2: not talking about the craziness that is spring training right now? Well,

2619
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:20,280
Speaker 2: the Dodgers ever win a game? Is the dynasty over?

2620
02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:24,919
Speaker 2: Your call's next? What I'm talking about is the decision

2621
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 2: to basically end the deal with ESPN. And do I

2622
02:10:31,440 --> 02:10:34,080
Speaker 2: feel like ESPN does a great job covering baseball?

2623
02:10:34,240 --> 02:10:35,280
Speaker 1: No, I don't.

2624
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:39,160
Speaker 2: In fact, I think that day of the sports that

2625
02:10:39,640 --> 02:10:46,839
Speaker 2: ESPN has tried to corner the market with NBA, college football,

2626
02:10:47,200 --> 02:10:51,520
Speaker 2: and to a certain extent, NFL. Even I would throw hockey, right,

2627
02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:55,400
Speaker 2: ESPN has a hockey package. Now, I think that baseball

2628
02:10:55,480 --> 02:10:58,040
Speaker 2: is behind all of them. College basketball is behind all

2629
02:10:58,080 --> 02:11:00,280
Speaker 2: of them. Do they do a good job the All

2630
02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:03,360
Speaker 2: Star weekend and the home run derby and you know,

2631
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 2: breaking Chris Berman out of mothballs to yell back back

2632
02:11:06,360 --> 02:11:09,760
Speaker 2: back every June? Yeah, sure, I think they do a

2633
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:14,600
Speaker 2: nice job with that, But it's not it's not a

2634
02:11:14,680 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 2: cornerstone of the network like you would think it should be,

2635
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:21,600
Speaker 2: but major League Baseball viewing isn't now. I don't know

2636
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:26,080
Speaker 2: if baseball viewing is more important than and more contractually

2637
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, obligated is ESPN to talk more about the NBA.

2638
02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:33,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's clauses the NBA deal off

2639
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:35,480
Speaker 2: the top of my head that not only do you

2640
02:11:35,560 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 2: have the games, but you are required to have a

2641
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:42,240
Speaker 2: daily show about it. I don't know, but I don't know, Brie,

2642
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:46,600
Speaker 2: if there was, If magically Prime has a deal that

2643
02:11:46,640 --> 02:11:49,640
Speaker 2: they're waiting for major League Baseball to become available, that

2644
02:11:49,840 --> 02:11:52,360
Speaker 2: Prime Video is gonna throw at them, or Netflix, or

2645
02:11:52,440 --> 02:11:55,680
Speaker 2: maybe Fox has a huge offer to up its contract,

2646
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:59,040
Speaker 2: or NBC or CBS look at it and say, hey,

2647
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:01,120
Speaker 2: we want to get in the baseball game.

2648
02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:03,280
Speaker 1: Then that's one thing I don't think they do.

2649
02:12:04,600 --> 02:12:07,600
Speaker 2: But I mean, I just I don't know how many

2650
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:10,440
Speaker 2: options you truly have that's going to pay you more

2651
02:12:10,520 --> 02:12:13,240
Speaker 2: money and give you as much exposure as you get

2652
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:16,040
Speaker 2: whenever you have Sunday Night Baseball and your All Star

2653
02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:19,200
Speaker 2: Game treated the way that you're treated, I mean, it's

2654
02:12:19,280 --> 02:12:23,960
Speaker 2: weird because obviously Fox Sports competes with ESPN, but it's

2655
02:12:24,080 --> 02:12:26,280
Speaker 2: it's a major talking point. We got to talk about

2656
02:12:26,320 --> 02:12:30,440
Speaker 2: it because it's it's it's kind of entrenched in the

2657
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:33,000
Speaker 2: future of Major League Baseball and what it's going to

2658
02:12:33,040 --> 02:12:37,040
Speaker 2: look like going forward in viewing games, watching games, talking

2659
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:40,920
Speaker 2: about games, hearing talk about games, hearing talk about storylines.

2660
02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Bri, I get it, they want more money.

2661
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:47,080
Speaker 2: I get it they're frustrated about the lack of talk

2662
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:47,960
Speaker 2: around baseball.

2663
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,160
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't know how great this move

2664
02:12:50,280 --> 02:12:52,280
Speaker 1: is right now for baseball. What do you think I was.

2665
02:12:52,280 --> 02:12:54,839
Speaker 3: Trying to think, like when they had a few games

2666
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 3: I think last season on Apple TV, right like that?

2667
02:12:58,560 --> 02:13:00,280
Speaker 3: And I don't know if I really can say that

2668
02:13:00,440 --> 02:13:04,080
Speaker 3: like a success, Like was that okay?

2669
02:13:04,200 --> 02:13:04,360
Speaker 16: Right?

2670
02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:07,080
Speaker 3: So I guess that's where I'm kind of confused on

2671
02:13:07,160 --> 02:13:08,880
Speaker 3: this going down. If they think like, oh, well, we're

2672
02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:11,360
Speaker 3: gonna head to streaming, So I'm like, what makes you

2673
02:13:11,440 --> 02:13:13,560
Speaker 3: think that streaming is a good idea for you guys

2674
02:13:13,920 --> 02:13:16,720
Speaker 3: unless you have another network in mind?

2675
02:13:17,280 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 7: Right?

2676
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:21,080
Speaker 1: You know, here's the other thing that I don't know

2677
02:13:21,240 --> 02:13:25,680
Speaker 1: if if people have kind of realized this, because I

2678
02:13:25,840 --> 02:13:29,160
Speaker 1: sure didn't. You know, this isn't just a breakup between

2679
02:13:29,240 --> 02:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and ESPN, and it's like, yeah, bleep

2680
02:13:33,040 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 1: the four letter, this is streaming, this is radio, and

2681
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio has absolutely been key in the postseason.

2682
02:13:45,560 --> 02:13:48,240
Speaker 2: So now like where you gonna put your postseason? If

2683
02:13:48,280 --> 02:13:52,720
Speaker 2: Westwood One gonna pick it up? I mean, is it's

2684
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:54,880
Speaker 2: got Shapiro sitting in his office right now.

2685
02:13:55,240 --> 02:13:55,760
Speaker 1: I hope he's not.

2686
02:13:55,840 --> 02:13:58,120
Speaker 2: I hope he's in bed, but thinking, hey, could could

2687
02:13:58,120 --> 02:14:00,080
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio be someone that steps up.

2688
02:14:00,080 --> 02:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Up and says, hey, we'll do We'll do major League

2689
02:14:02,200 --> 02:14:03,240
Speaker 1: Baseball games. I don't know.

2690
02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:08,160
Speaker 2: It's being described as a mutual opt out by both

2691
02:14:08,280 --> 02:14:12,320
Speaker 2: sides in the seven year, five hundred and fifty million

2692
02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:16,520
Speaker 2: dollar contract, though somewhere out of nowhere, CNN reported that

2693
02:14:16,920 --> 02:14:22,760
Speaker 2: ESPN terminated the contract first. Now you know, it's interesting

2694
02:14:22,760 --> 02:14:25,240
Speaker 2: because I bring up Amazon and Prime Video. Those are

2695
02:14:25,360 --> 02:14:30,240
Speaker 2: big money spenders right now. You throw NBC and Peacock

2696
02:14:30,360 --> 02:14:34,280
Speaker 2: into it, maybe CBS and Paramount Plus. But you know

2697
02:14:34,360 --> 02:14:37,360
Speaker 2: who's actually doing a pretty good job in the sports

2698
02:14:37,400 --> 02:14:40,040
Speaker 2: that they've brought on in how they cover them is

2699
02:14:40,120 --> 02:14:44,800
Speaker 2: the CW. Like I was watching some NASCAR racing on

2700
02:14:44,880 --> 02:14:47,480
Speaker 2: the CW. I think it might have been the Infinity Series.

2701
02:14:47,720 --> 02:14:48,839
Speaker 2: They did a really good.

2702
02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Job with it.

2703
02:14:50,080 --> 02:14:52,840
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's not the platform that you want

2704
02:14:52,880 --> 02:14:57,480
Speaker 2: to turn to whenever you're trying to gain exposure and

2705
02:14:57,560 --> 02:14:59,280
Speaker 2: you want more people talking about you.

2706
02:14:59,600 --> 02:15:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you turned to the c dub. It's like, hey,

2707
02:15:03,040 --> 02:15:03,800
Speaker 1: I what.

2708
02:15:03,960 --> 02:15:07,080
Speaker 2: Time does Smallville get over? We want to be on CW.

2709
02:15:07,960 --> 02:15:11,480
Speaker 2: But if they're willing to invest, then why not. They've

2710
02:15:11,480 --> 02:15:13,320
Speaker 2: done a good job in the sports that they've carried

2711
02:15:13,400 --> 02:15:16,840
Speaker 2: so far. And I don't know, whenever the NFL first

2712
02:15:16,920 --> 02:15:19,040
Speaker 2: went to Fox, that was crazy town in a lot

2713
02:15:19,080 --> 02:15:20,360
Speaker 2: of people's eyes, like what do you doing?

2714
02:15:20,440 --> 02:15:23,640
Speaker 1: No one watches Fox? They've got a cartoon on And

2715
02:15:23,760 --> 02:15:26,160
Speaker 1: now you look back, but thirty years later and it's

2716
02:15:26,720 --> 02:15:30,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a machine. I don't think Major League Baseball

2717
02:15:30,560 --> 02:15:33,000
Speaker 1: can do that for the CW. But it's mentioned as

2718
02:15:33,080 --> 02:15:38,800
Speaker 1: a as a suitor for Major League Baseball. But you know,

2719
02:15:38,880 --> 02:15:41,680
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with your radio rights? Serius XM,

2720
02:15:41,880 --> 02:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Westwood One. I mean, it's gonna be a fascinating time

2721
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:51,560
Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball because I don't think there's I

2722
02:15:51,600 --> 02:15:54,520
Speaker 1: don't think there's a time when there's been more exciting

2723
02:15:55,120 --> 02:15:58,400
Speaker 1: personalities around the game. I think that you've got to

2724
02:15:59,520 --> 02:16:03,760
Speaker 1: you've got to potential dynastic team in the Dodgers. But

2725
02:16:04,240 --> 02:16:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, there are tribals, and the Padres had them

2726
02:16:07,160 --> 02:16:10,720
Speaker 1: up against the Ropes and they decided to go left lane,

2727
02:16:10,720 --> 02:16:13,800
Speaker 1: hammer down. I don't think San Diego is necessarily any

2728
02:16:13,880 --> 02:16:16,920
Speaker 1: less interested in beating the Dodgers, nor are the Giants.

2729
02:16:17,080 --> 02:16:19,200
Speaker 1: The Diamondbacks are in the World Series two years ago.

2730
02:16:19,760 --> 02:16:22,240
Speaker 2: You can hear Rob Parker screaming on our promos about

2731
02:16:22,280 --> 02:16:25,480
Speaker 2: the party and baseball, and he's right. You've seen a

2732
02:16:25,520 --> 02:16:28,520
Speaker 2: lot of different entities, a lot of different teams represent

2733
02:16:28,600 --> 02:16:30,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the Rangers won the World Series two years ago,

2734
02:16:31,760 --> 02:16:34,760
Speaker 2: but with the amount of dollars the Dodgers have spent,

2735
02:16:34,800 --> 02:16:35,280
Speaker 2: it's hard to.

2736
02:16:35,320 --> 02:16:37,440
Speaker 1: Imagine them backsliding too terribly much.

2737
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:41,440
Speaker 2: But I feel like in sports, we kind of hate

2738
02:16:41,480 --> 02:16:44,680
Speaker 2: the villain almost as much as we love the superstar.

2739
02:16:45,320 --> 02:16:47,520
Speaker 2: And you're gonna have a villain this year in the Dodgers,

2740
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:50,880
Speaker 2: right And what can be more fun to hate than

2741
02:16:50,920 --> 02:16:51,440
Speaker 2: a team.

2742
02:16:51,440 --> 02:16:54,480
Speaker 1: In Are we number one in LA or number two

2743
02:16:54,560 --> 02:16:56,560
Speaker 1: media market wise? I think it's still number two.

2744
02:16:56,480 --> 02:16:57,120
Speaker 3: Right, Yes?

2745
02:16:57,520 --> 02:16:57,920
Speaker 16: In New York.

2746
02:16:58,000 --> 02:16:59,400
Speaker 3: New York is number one, right.

2747
02:17:00,400 --> 02:17:02,440
Speaker 2: How great is it to have in the number two

2748
02:17:02,560 --> 02:17:07,480
Speaker 2: media market with a generational talent, global talent and show hey,

2749
02:17:08,480 --> 02:17:11,480
Speaker 2: and then you've got the teams in New York that

2750
02:17:11,600 --> 02:17:16,640
Speaker 2: are spending like crazy too. So I this is a

2751
02:17:16,680 --> 02:17:21,160
Speaker 2: great opportunity for Baseball to showcase itself. They just they

2752
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:23,240
Speaker 2: can't get they can't get caught up tripping over their

2753
02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:27,800
Speaker 2: own problems. And to me, ESPN was never going to

2754
02:17:27,840 --> 02:17:31,240
Speaker 2: be what Baseball wanted it to be, especially with what

2755
02:17:31,320 --> 02:17:33,760
Speaker 2: they've shelled out for the SEC and for the NBA.

2756
02:17:35,120 --> 02:17:37,080
Speaker 2: But I think bring my biggest problem in all of this,

2757
02:17:37,240 --> 02:17:40,800
Speaker 2: and to kind of put a put a final thought

2758
02:17:40,879 --> 02:17:44,720
Speaker 2: on it, I just I don't know if that big

2759
02:17:44,840 --> 02:17:47,960
Speaker 2: money deal is going to be out there, especially since

2760
02:17:48,040 --> 02:17:51,280
Speaker 2: they devalue things with the you know, the Apple TV

2761
02:17:51,400 --> 02:17:54,880
Speaker 2: plus deal and gosh, they went on what Roku last year.

2762
02:17:54,920 --> 02:17:57,360
Speaker 1: They had some games as well. I just I worry

2763
02:17:57,440 --> 02:17:59,920
Speaker 1: that there's not a massive suitor out there for them

2764
02:18:00,160 --> 02:18:00,480
Speaker 1: right now.

2765
02:18:02,240 --> 02:18:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I can't really think of what I mean,

2766
02:18:04,640 --> 02:18:07,400
Speaker 3: you mentioned Prime and I guess that would be like

2767
02:18:08,080 --> 02:18:11,320
Speaker 3: the one that would make the most Like.

2768
02:18:11,560 --> 02:18:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know Netflix is about events, so you're

2769
02:18:17,800 --> 02:18:18,720
Speaker 1: not going to Netflix.

2770
02:18:18,840 --> 02:18:22,040
Speaker 2: No, there's Netflix is going to be about big events,

2771
02:18:22,280 --> 02:18:24,720
Speaker 2: and even if it's the you know, one of the

2772
02:18:24,800 --> 02:18:27,480
Speaker 2: big rumors right now, if you want a one more

2773
02:18:27,640 --> 02:18:32,320
Speaker 2: nerdy note on the business, the sports media business. Apparently,

2774
02:18:32,400 --> 02:18:36,160
Speaker 2: if CBS is sold, then that opens up and out

2775
02:18:36,240 --> 02:18:38,680
Speaker 2: for the NFL in their contract, and there's thoughts that

2776
02:18:39,200 --> 02:18:42,440
Speaker 2: that afternoon package could be something that Netflix is interested in.

2777
02:18:42,560 --> 02:18:45,440
Speaker 2: That's an event that is not a day to day thing.

2778
02:18:45,560 --> 02:18:49,720
Speaker 2: Baseball is a day to day investment, you know. NFL

2779
02:18:49,920 --> 02:18:52,080
Speaker 2: is all right every Sunday. You've got the three o'clock

2780
02:18:52,200 --> 02:18:57,000
Speaker 2: games right here. It's pretty cool. But I just I

2781
02:18:57,120 --> 02:18:59,480
Speaker 2: don't think Netflix is going to be interested in baseball.

2782
02:18:59,720 --> 02:19:00,160
Speaker 4: Don't know.

2783
02:19:00,240 --> 02:19:03,480
Speaker 2: With Prime, I don't know. I mean, I think that

2784
02:19:04,600 --> 02:19:07,800
Speaker 2: they've been very choosy about what they've wanted to do.

2785
02:19:08,520 --> 02:19:11,200
Speaker 2: I think the NASCAR package is going to be really

2786
02:19:11,280 --> 02:19:14,080
Speaker 2: good for them, so I think that'll be worth keeping

2787
02:19:14,080 --> 02:19:14,440
Speaker 2: an eye on.

2788
02:19:15,680 --> 02:19:18,640
Speaker 3: What about magics do you like? Because I've seen a few,

2789
02:19:18,720 --> 02:19:21,960
Speaker 3: like NBA games on Max and hockey games and I've

2790
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:25,680
Speaker 3: had pretty I've been pretty happy with that with with

2791
02:19:25,920 --> 02:19:29,600
Speaker 3: what I've seen. I just but I mean, how many

2792
02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:32,080
Speaker 3: you know, like you'd have to look at like subscriber

2793
02:19:32,160 --> 02:19:34,560
Speaker 3: amounts and everything. But I feel like it's a pretty

2794
02:19:34,760 --> 02:19:36,840
Speaker 3: well everybody mostly has that.

2795
02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:40,440
Speaker 2: I know we're way way up against it, but do

2796
02:19:40,560 --> 02:19:44,960
Speaker 2: you buy into the theory? I think hockey subscribe to this,

2797
02:19:45,480 --> 02:19:49,560
Speaker 2: and obviously baseball did to a certain extent, that you

2798
02:19:49,720 --> 02:19:52,160
Speaker 2: need to be on the network where people will talk

2799
02:19:52,240 --> 02:19:56,240
Speaker 2: about you. In other words, it sounds great to be

2800
02:19:56,440 --> 02:20:01,600
Speaker 2: on NBC, but you're not get in that twenty four

2801
02:20:02,080 --> 02:20:05,960
Speaker 2: seven potential talk about your league, right you're getting a

2802
02:20:05,959 --> 02:20:08,360
Speaker 2: promo thrown in here or there. Do you think that's

2803
02:20:09,440 --> 02:20:13,120
Speaker 2: something baseball need needed to be as cognizant of as

2804
02:20:13,160 --> 02:20:13,920
Speaker 2: they appear to be.

2805
02:20:16,240 --> 02:20:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

2806
02:20:17,800 --> 02:20:21,879
Speaker 2: It might have been the trigger that ended the relationship,

2807
02:20:21,959 --> 02:20:25,160
Speaker 2: and if not, might have been it was the trigger

2808
02:20:25,240 --> 02:20:29,320
Speaker 2: that seemed to end ESPN our Major League Baseball saying hey,

2809
02:20:29,360 --> 02:20:31,520
Speaker 2: what's going on here? Why are you not talking about

2810
02:20:31,560 --> 02:20:34,360
Speaker 2: our league? And then when you do, you're dumping all

2811
02:20:34,440 --> 02:20:37,960
Speaker 2: over it. Are we a partner or not? And at

2812
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:40,360
Speaker 2: that point ESPN's like, I guess not, We're going to

2813
02:20:40,400 --> 02:20:44,480
Speaker 2: go in another direction. If I'm if I'm.

2814
02:20:44,440 --> 02:20:46,759
Speaker 1: College baseball or college softball.

2815
02:20:46,440 --> 02:20:48,800
Speaker 2: Or if I'm hockey I'm I'm kind of bagging to

2816
02:20:48,840 --> 02:20:50,600
Speaker 2: be in that Sunday night slot, though, I think that's

2817
02:20:51,000 --> 02:20:53,840
Speaker 2: I think that's prime real estate in the sports world. Okay,

2818
02:20:53,879 --> 02:20:56,879
Speaker 2: we got a break. When we come back, Matt Stafford,

2819
02:20:58,000 --> 02:20:59,000
Speaker 2: will he or won't he?

2820
02:20:59,200 --> 02:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Be a ram Next?

2821
02:21:00,680 --> 02:21:04,560
Speaker 2: Interesting to hear Daniel Jeremiah in advance of the NFL

2822
02:21:04,680 --> 02:21:07,440
Speaker 2: Draft talk about what he's hearing. I'll share it with

2823
02:21:07,520 --> 02:21:10,040
Speaker 2: you next on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, I

2824
02:21:10,080 --> 02:21:13,760
Speaker 2: want to ask my parenting question real quick to you, Brie.

2825
02:21:14,879 --> 02:21:18,680
Speaker 2: My I'm single dad in it with my sixteen year

2826
02:21:18,720 --> 02:21:22,960
Speaker 2: old daughter this weekend, which when your kids get their

2827
02:21:23,040 --> 02:21:28,480
Speaker 2: driver's license, it's both an incredible edition of the family

2828
02:21:29,160 --> 02:21:34,039
Speaker 2: and of freedom, but also an incredible edition of stress.

2829
02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:38,039
Speaker 2: It's like, I spend so much time stressed out about

2830
02:21:38,080 --> 02:21:42,720
Speaker 2: her on the road. It's just unbelievable. So tonight tonight

2831
02:21:43,760 --> 02:21:46,880
Speaker 2: she was we were gonna go get dinner, but I

2832
02:21:46,959 --> 02:21:51,160
Speaker 2: got done with my softball responsibilities late, so she called

2833
02:21:51,160 --> 02:21:52,480
Speaker 2: and she's like, can we get dinner? I'm like, why

2834
02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:55,600
Speaker 2: don't we wait till tomorrow night? And then like magically, Brie,

2835
02:21:55,720 --> 02:21:58,520
Speaker 2: she has other plans. It's like, so, Dad, can I

2836
02:21:58,600 --> 02:22:03,520
Speaker 2: go to the basketball game tonight. This is like five o'clock,

2837
02:22:03,640 --> 02:22:05,600
Speaker 2: five thirty. And I was like, well, sure, you know,

2838
02:22:05,879 --> 02:22:08,600
Speaker 2: it's our high school, it's ten minutes from our house.

2839
02:22:08,680 --> 02:22:11,440
Speaker 2: It's it's it's fine. She goes, great, the game starts

2840
02:22:11,440 --> 02:22:14,640
Speaker 2: at six. I'm gonna get my friend and we're gonna.

2841
02:22:14,360 --> 02:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Go to the game. I think to myself, this is awesome.

2842
02:22:16,959 --> 02:22:17,600
Speaker 1: I can rest.

2843
02:22:17,720 --> 02:22:20,560
Speaker 2: I'll be ready for the show tonight. I'll have hot

2844
02:22:20,680 --> 02:22:23,840
Speaker 2: takes and be fired up to fill in for Bernie.

2845
02:22:25,560 --> 02:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Well.

2846
02:22:26,160 --> 02:22:28,400
Speaker 2: I give a deadline to come home at eight thirty,

2847
02:22:29,400 --> 02:22:33,000
Speaker 2: and a thirty rolls around and she goes, oh, the

2848
02:22:33,080 --> 02:22:36,120
Speaker 2: boys game is about to tip off. So first of all,

2849
02:22:36,160 --> 02:22:38,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute, I thought the game started

2850
02:22:38,400 --> 02:22:41,520
Speaker 2: at six. So then I start with the confirmation of

2851
02:22:41,600 --> 02:22:43,680
Speaker 2: calling my friends to make sure she's at the game.

2852
02:22:44,440 --> 02:22:47,879
Speaker 2: She there, what's she doing? So then I'm like, yeah,

2853
02:22:47,959 --> 02:22:49,840
Speaker 2: but be home by night. Now there is a law.

2854
02:22:50,360 --> 02:22:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if law is being overly dramatic, but

2855
02:22:54,520 --> 02:22:56,599
Speaker 2: and I don't know if this is the same in California.

2856
02:22:57,200 --> 02:23:00,560
Speaker 2: But she gets her license and you can't drive after

2857
02:23:00,640 --> 02:23:01,199
Speaker 2: ten o'clock.

2858
02:23:01,400 --> 02:23:02,280
Speaker 3: Yep, that's over here.

2859
02:23:02,360 --> 02:23:05,119
Speaker 2: Same, okay, good? And this wasn't this seems like it's

2860
02:23:05,520 --> 02:23:08,760
Speaker 2: relatively new. But also I did turn sixteen thirty three

2861
02:23:08,840 --> 02:23:11,200
Speaker 2: years ago, so I'm sure a few things have changed.

2862
02:23:11,320 --> 02:23:13,039
Speaker 2: We had drivers at in school, and I guess they

2863
02:23:13,080 --> 02:23:15,360
Speaker 2: don't have it in school anymore. So then she calls,

2864
02:23:15,400 --> 02:23:18,800
Speaker 2: she goes, Hey, we're gonna go get dinner at like

2865
02:23:18,920 --> 02:23:21,760
Speaker 2: nine o'clock. I'm like, it's nine o'clock. Who goes and

2866
02:23:21,840 --> 02:23:23,320
Speaker 2: gets dinner at nine o'clock?

2867
02:23:23,800 --> 02:23:23,959
Speaker 1: Right?

2868
02:23:24,920 --> 02:23:29,560
Speaker 2: So again she she got home allegedly right before at

2869
02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:32,800
Speaker 2: ten o'clock? Was I played all night long by my daughter?

2870
02:23:33,160 --> 02:23:35,160
Speaker 2: Had she had this planned out from the beginning, and

2871
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:37,640
Speaker 2: she knew that I was soft and would just do

2872
02:23:37,959 --> 02:23:38,760
Speaker 2: let her do whatever.

2873
02:23:38,840 --> 02:23:42,120
Speaker 3: She says, one hundred percent, okay, one hundred percent, Like

2874
02:23:42,240 --> 02:23:44,680
Speaker 3: it sounded like something like I would do at that age.

2875
02:23:44,840 --> 02:23:45,360
Speaker 3: For sure.

2876
02:23:45,800 --> 02:23:48,240
Speaker 1: Dad, the game's at six, I gotta go, well, you

2877
02:23:48,320 --> 02:23:49,120
Speaker 1: get to the game? Then what?

2878
02:23:49,600 --> 02:23:52,680
Speaker 2: Well that's just the girls game? Or did she even

2879
02:23:52,760 --> 02:23:55,480
Speaker 2: go to the game? Like I did have witnesses that

2880
02:23:55,560 --> 02:23:58,640
Speaker 2: said she was there. You don't want to be that stalker, dad,

2881
02:23:58,680 --> 02:24:01,080
Speaker 2: I want to trust her. My wife's like, you should

2882
02:24:01,120 --> 02:24:04,280
Speaker 2: go to the game. I'm like, well yeah, but why

2883
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:06,119
Speaker 2: don't even walk in and be like, all right, you're here.

2884
02:24:06,320 --> 02:24:08,640
Speaker 2: By I don't want to watch high school basketball. I mean,

2885
02:24:09,320 --> 02:24:12,680
Speaker 2: I barely want to watch the NBA. Gosh, I don't

2886
02:24:12,720 --> 02:24:15,000
Speaker 2: know how to react to this now. I mean, like

2887
02:24:15,080 --> 02:24:17,800
Speaker 2: a I sound like a jilted sixteen year old?

2888
02:24:18,320 --> 02:24:20,920
Speaker 1: Do you lie to me? Did you play me?

2889
02:24:21,879 --> 02:24:25,840
Speaker 2: Were you really where you weren't supposed to be? Gosh,

2890
02:24:26,480 --> 02:24:28,720
Speaker 2: what should be the penalty? Should there be a grounding here?

2891
02:24:28,840 --> 02:24:30,440
Speaker 2: Or should there be a stern lecture?

2892
02:24:30,959 --> 02:24:34,360
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know about stern lecture, but definitely some

2893
02:24:34,600 --> 02:24:37,000
Speaker 3: kind of lecture like hey, just be honest, like if

2894
02:24:37,040 --> 02:24:38,720
Speaker 3: you want to go do this, like let's just go,

2895
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:40,680
Speaker 3: just let me know, like ahead of time.

2896
02:24:40,800 --> 02:24:41,360
Speaker 1: Kind of like it.

2897
02:24:41,480 --> 02:24:44,000
Speaker 2: Hey, I know, I know, I know what you're doing here.

2898
02:24:44,520 --> 02:24:46,360
Speaker 2: I did this same thing when I was a kid

2899
02:24:47,080 --> 02:24:51,840
Speaker 2: thirty years ago. Anyway, that frustration has fueled me tonight.

2900
02:24:51,879 --> 02:24:54,200
Speaker 2: That's where all this anger is coming from. That's that's

2901
02:24:54,240 --> 02:24:58,200
Speaker 2: where this disgain. Well that and then we also had

2902

2913
02:25:32,400 --> 02:25:36,720
Speaker 2: a big story on the show tonight. Daniel Jeremiah analyst

2914
02:25:36,879 --> 02:25:40,200
Speaker 2: on the Chargers Radio Network, of course, NFL dot Com,

2915
02:25:40,400 --> 02:25:45,520
Speaker 2: and the NFL Draft Guru. He held a conference call

2916
02:25:45,640 --> 02:25:49,360
Speaker 2: this week with selecting members of the media, and the

2917
02:25:49,520 --> 02:25:54,640
Speaker 2: question was posed, how do you view your quarterback rankings?

2918
02:25:54,680 --> 02:25:57,680
Speaker 2: In other words, you got cam Ord one, you got

2919
02:25:57,720 --> 02:26:00,400
Speaker 2: Shador one, who you have won and how might that

2920
02:26:00,520 --> 02:26:03,520
Speaker 2: play out for the Jets or the Giants. Listen to

2921
02:26:03,600 --> 02:26:07,600
Speaker 2: this answer and the interesting little nugget that Daniel Jeremiah

2922
02:26:07,680 --> 02:26:09,600
Speaker 2: drops involving Matthew Stafford.

2923
02:26:10,520 --> 02:26:13,520
Speaker 24: Yeah, when I first watched the quarterbacks, I stacked him

2924
02:26:13,560 --> 02:26:15,640
Speaker 24: right next to each other, and they're totally different in

2925
02:26:15,800 --> 02:26:19,360
Speaker 24: terms of their strengths and weaknesses. The more that I've done,

2926
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:22,080
Speaker 24: the more I've kind of created some separation, and that'll,

2927
02:26:22,160 --> 02:26:24,280
Speaker 24: you know, be reflected when the Top fifty comes out

2928
02:26:24,360 --> 02:26:26,480
Speaker 24: next week, the updated Top fifty.

2929
02:26:26,720 --> 02:26:27,760
Speaker 1: I like Shador.

2930
02:26:28,280 --> 02:26:30,400
Speaker 24: I think Shador is you know, when you look at

2931
02:26:30,440 --> 02:26:36,200
Speaker 24: the things he does really well, the accuracy, anticipation, toughness,

2932
02:26:36,320 --> 02:26:38,720
Speaker 24: like he'll you know, he just keeps getting up after

2933
02:26:38,800 --> 02:26:41,320
Speaker 24: taking a beating. But you know, some of the other

2934
02:26:41,400 --> 02:26:43,280
Speaker 24: things that Cam has he doesn't have. It's just a

2935
02:26:43,320 --> 02:26:45,360
Speaker 24: little bit more twitch in his body. He's got a

2936
02:26:45,440 --> 02:26:49,560
Speaker 24: more live arm. I think he's more equipped to play

2937
02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:52,720
Speaker 24: in that division, in that in that stadium, in that

2938
02:26:53,400 --> 02:26:56,160
Speaker 24: environment that you're gonna get with weather. I think Schador

2939
02:26:56,320 --> 02:26:59,560
Speaker 24: makes more sense, just as you know, relying a little

2940
02:26:59,600 --> 02:27:01,879
Speaker 24: bit more as a touch thrower than a power thrower.

2941
02:27:02,480 --> 02:27:04,240
Speaker 24: I think he makes more sense. You know, when you

2942
02:27:04,480 --> 02:27:06,800
Speaker 24: look at the Saints make sense to me. The Raiders

2943
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:09,600
Speaker 24: make sense to me, so more so about fit than

2944
02:27:09,600 --> 02:27:13,320
Speaker 24: anything else when it comes to those guys, you know,

2945
02:27:13,440 --> 02:27:15,880
Speaker 24: with you know, with the Giants not taking one in

2946
02:27:15,959 --> 02:27:18,480
Speaker 24: a mock draft. I always like to just run through

2947
02:27:18,520 --> 02:27:21,680
Speaker 24: different scenarios and you know what you're hearing, Okay, if

2948
02:27:21,720 --> 02:27:24,480
Speaker 24: this happens, then then where do we go from from here?

2949
02:27:25,040 --> 02:27:27,720
Speaker 24: The mock drafts as you get through free agency, you

2950
02:27:27,800 --> 02:27:30,160
Speaker 24: know they're gonna it'll crystallize a little bit more. But

2951
02:27:30,640 --> 02:27:33,840
Speaker 24: there has been a lot of chatter in talking to

2952
02:27:33,920 --> 02:27:37,880
Speaker 24: guys around the league, you know, the Stafford stuff. I mean,

2953
02:27:37,920 --> 02:27:39,480
Speaker 24: I don't know if there's legs to it, but I

2954
02:27:39,640 --> 02:27:41,120
Speaker 24: know that it has got a lot of people in

2955
02:27:41,200 --> 02:27:45,440
Speaker 24: personnel departments and general managers intrigued in seeing what's going

2956
02:27:45,520 --> 02:27:47,680
Speaker 24: to transpire there with with him and the Rams, and

2957
02:27:47,720 --> 02:27:50,520
Speaker 24: the fact that that they didn't just come out and

2958
02:27:50,600 --> 02:27:53,480
Speaker 24: say he's not going anywhere has led people to believe

2959
02:27:53,520 --> 02:27:55,760
Speaker 24: that that's a possibility. And when I looked at the

2960
02:27:55,840 --> 02:27:58,760
Speaker 24: Giants and you look at head coach and general manager,

2961
02:27:58,879 --> 02:28:01,360
Speaker 24: there's there's some pressure there. You need to get this

2962
02:28:01,480 --> 02:28:04,640
Speaker 24: thing going, especially after the team in your division just

2963
02:28:04,720 --> 02:28:07,200
Speaker 24: won the Super Bowl. So I looked at that and

2964
02:28:07,320 --> 02:28:10,039
Speaker 24: I am sitting here thinking, man, you talk about turning around,

2965
02:28:10,200 --> 02:28:13,040
Speaker 24: you know, some excitement here in that market, and you

2966
02:28:13,240 --> 02:28:15,840
Speaker 24: trot out there week one and you've got you know,

2967
02:28:16,320 --> 02:28:19,880
Speaker 24: Matthew Stafford throwing the ball to Malik Neighbors. You've got him,

2968
02:28:20,040 --> 02:28:22,200
Speaker 24: you know, looking at Travis Hunter getting some snaps on

2969
02:28:22,280 --> 02:28:25,200
Speaker 24: the offensive side of the ball. You've got who knows

2970
02:28:25,240 --> 02:28:27,000
Speaker 24: what else they can do with the with the money

2971
02:28:27,040 --> 02:28:29,480
Speaker 24: they have in free agency, and it is Cooper cup

2972
02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:29,720
Speaker 24: you know.

2973
02:28:30,120 --> 02:28:32,279
Speaker 1: Part of that is that a package deal.

2974
02:28:32,160 --> 02:28:32,960
Speaker 24: With him in Stafford.

2975
02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:34,360
Speaker 14: So that was my mind.

2976
02:28:34,440 --> 02:28:36,560
Speaker 24: That was kind of where I was going in my

2977
02:28:36,720 --> 02:28:39,160
Speaker 24: fantasy land as we got to that mock draft.

2978
02:28:39,879 --> 02:28:43,200
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot to unpacked there, but to me, the

2979
02:28:43,520 --> 02:28:48,440
Speaker 2: biggest part of it all is where does where does

2980
02:28:48,560 --> 02:28:57,760
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah and his intel absorbing world Like, is it

2981
02:28:57,879 --> 02:29:01,000
Speaker 2: somebody that you look at and you say, dude, this

2982
02:29:01,200 --> 02:29:04,600
Speaker 2: is a guy that wants to be accurate in his

2983
02:29:04,720 --> 02:29:10,480
Speaker 2: mock drafts that while he's evaluating personnel, he's talking to

2984
02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:14,400
Speaker 2: all the different teams. And you hear that combination, right,

2985
02:29:14,520 --> 02:29:16,720
Speaker 2: If I'm a Giants fan and I'm sitting here like,

2986
02:29:16,800 --> 02:29:18,440
Speaker 2: my gosh, why do we need Matt Stafford?

2987
02:29:18,520 --> 02:29:19,360
Speaker 1: What are we doing right now?

2988
02:29:19,400 --> 02:29:22,560
Speaker 2: We have so much we need to fix, then you hear, well,

2989
02:29:23,720 --> 02:29:27,279
Speaker 2: suddenly you've got Matt Stafford throwing to my leak neighbors.

2990
02:29:28,360 --> 02:29:30,520
Speaker 1: You know, you use a draft pick three overall, I

2991
02:29:32,440 --> 02:29:34,480
Speaker 1: don't see any scenario where the Giants are going to

2992
02:29:34,520 --> 02:29:38,000
Speaker 1: trade three for Matt Stafford, but let's say you keep three.

2993
02:29:39,200 --> 02:29:42,280
Speaker 1: Suddenly there's a Travis Hunter that's out there on the

2994
02:29:42,320 --> 02:29:46,760
Speaker 1: field in a Giants uniform. You already in Thibodeau, I

2995
02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:50,039
Speaker 1: think have a guy that, at least in my opinion,

2996
02:29:50,959 --> 02:29:55,119
Speaker 1: is a generational talent as an edge rusher. I mean,

2997
02:29:55,280 --> 02:30:00,760
Speaker 1: suddenly business is picking up for a franchise that for.

2998
02:30:00,959 --> 02:30:03,360
Speaker 2: Now is known as the team that gave the Eagles

2999
02:30:03,600 --> 02:30:08,039
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley and drafted Daniel Jones and it never worked out.

3000
02:30:08,480 --> 02:30:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

3001
02:30:09,480 --> 02:30:09,920
Speaker 7: I mean.

3002
02:30:11,680 --> 02:30:15,320
Speaker 2: The legs are added to this with the report that

3003
02:30:15,440 --> 02:30:21,360
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford is asked to basically explore a trade. I mean,

3004
02:30:21,440 --> 02:30:23,960
Speaker 2: you want to say, I wonder if this thing has legs.

3005
02:30:24,040 --> 02:30:27,480
Speaker 2: I wonder if it doesn't have legs, it's it's given legs.

3006
02:30:27,600 --> 02:30:33,520
Speaker 2: Whenever Matt Stafford's agent is given that opportunity to go

3007
02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:36,640
Speaker 2: out and evaluate the potential of a trade and seeing

3008
02:30:36,680 --> 02:30:37,640
Speaker 2: what's out there for him.

3009
02:30:38,120 --> 02:30:40,200
Speaker 1: So any of those thoughts that, well, I mean, is

3010
02:30:40,480 --> 02:30:41,200
Speaker 1: this real or not?

3011
02:30:42,200 --> 02:30:47,360
Speaker 2: Well, guess what, it's absolutely one hundred real now that

3012
02:30:47,440 --> 02:30:50,039
Speaker 2: you look at Hey, he's given a chance to.

3013
02:30:50,080 --> 02:30:51,040
Speaker 1: Evaluate a trade.

3014
02:30:51,720 --> 02:30:56,400
Speaker 2: So if you have a guy that's out there working

3015
02:30:56,560 --> 02:31:00,240
Speaker 2: like it appears that Matt Stafford's agent is to see

3016
02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:02,680
Speaker 2: what else is out there for him, then that to me,

3017
02:31:04,240 --> 02:31:08,359
Speaker 2: it says that there's legs to this, And Daniel Jeremiah,

3018
02:31:08,440 --> 02:31:12,000
Speaker 2: for one, got me pretty excited about what that could

3019
02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:15,200
Speaker 2: actually look like for the New York Giants. One other

3020
02:31:15,320 --> 02:31:19,320
Speaker 2: thing here from the teleconference. What happens at one? What

3021
02:31:19,480 --> 02:31:20,560
Speaker 2: happens at number one?

3022
02:31:20,640 --> 02:31:21,039
Speaker 1: Overall?

3023
02:31:22,040 --> 02:31:24,920
Speaker 2: This is for you, shady Sean, my guy, what do

3024
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:28,000
Speaker 2: the Titans do? Do they implode all this talk of

3025
02:31:28,120 --> 02:31:33,480
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter in New York or cam Ward falling? Or

3026
02:31:33,560 --> 02:31:35,880
Speaker 2: do they do something crazy at number one?

3027
02:31:36,240 --> 02:31:40,279
Speaker 25: The first question here, so, I noticed you've got Abdul

3028
02:31:40,360 --> 02:31:42,720
Speaker 25: Carter as your top prospect. I notice you've got the

3029
02:31:42,760 --> 02:31:45,680
Speaker 25: Titans taken him at number one in your initial mock.

3030
02:31:46,240 --> 02:31:47,119
Speaker 17: Is he good enough?

3031
02:31:47,200 --> 02:31:50,560
Speaker 25: Did you just stick there and pick or do you

3032
02:31:50,800 --> 02:31:55,160
Speaker 25: look to trade? And I and to kind of go

3033
02:31:55,240 --> 02:31:58,000
Speaker 25: along with that same question, how much interest? How much

3034
02:31:58,080 --> 02:32:00,560
Speaker 25: action do you think they'll get with the potent trade

3035
02:32:00,560 --> 02:32:00,920
Speaker 25: at one?

3036
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:04,000
Speaker 24: Well, I haven't heard much buzz about action at this

3037
02:32:04,080 --> 02:32:07,360
Speaker 24: point in time. Usually the combine, you know, as you know,

3038
02:32:07,520 --> 02:32:08,800
Speaker 24: is when that could pick up a little bit and

3039
02:32:08,800 --> 02:32:11,480
Speaker 24: you'll start hearing some buzz. If somebody falls in love

3040
02:32:11,560 --> 02:32:14,960
Speaker 24: with the quarterback, that's where the trades happen, and that

3041
02:32:15,080 --> 02:32:18,760
Speaker 24: would be you know, that will be interesting because I

3042
02:32:18,879 --> 02:32:22,160
Speaker 24: look at them, and to me, I think there's really

3043
02:32:22,640 --> 02:32:25,640
Speaker 24: a couple options. I think it's three players. I think

3044
02:32:25,640 --> 02:32:28,480
Speaker 24: it's Abdul Carter. I think it's Travis Hunter or cam Ward.

3045
02:32:28,879 --> 02:32:31,080
Speaker 24: I think you're deciding between those three players, and then

3046
02:32:31,120 --> 02:32:34,039
Speaker 24: the fourth option is the trade. But to me, if

3047
02:32:34,120 --> 02:32:38,000
Speaker 24: I'm Tennessee, I'm not going past three unless I get

3048
02:32:38,040 --> 02:32:41,080
Speaker 24: an enormous haul, and I don't think. I don't think

3049
02:32:41,120 --> 02:32:43,800
Speaker 24: you're going to get that in this draft. So to me,

3050
02:32:43,920 --> 02:32:45,600
Speaker 24: I think that's what their decision is going to come

3051
02:32:45,640 --> 02:32:48,280
Speaker 24: down to. I think, you know, it depends on what

3052
02:32:48,360 --> 02:32:50,520
Speaker 24: you're looking for. I have a very similar grade on

3053
02:32:50,600 --> 02:32:52,920
Speaker 24: Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter. I have Abdul Carter a

3054
02:32:52,959 --> 02:32:56,520
Speaker 24: little bit higher than him, and it's such a premier position,

3055
02:32:56,680 --> 02:32:58,680
Speaker 24: and I think when you look at the pieces already

3056
02:32:58,720 --> 02:33:01,080
Speaker 24: on that defensive line and you go out and you

3057
02:33:01,160 --> 02:33:04,120
Speaker 24: get Abdul Carter, I think you've got a chance to

3058
02:33:04,160 --> 02:33:05,560
Speaker 24: have one of the best units in the league, so

3059
02:33:05,600 --> 02:33:08,480
Speaker 24: that's a good foundation to build off of. But they

3060
02:33:08,560 --> 02:33:11,800
Speaker 24: need to do their homework on cam Ward and if

3061
02:33:11,840 --> 02:33:14,240
Speaker 24: they feel confident and comfortable with him and they feel

3062
02:33:14,280 --> 02:33:17,320
Speaker 24: like he can be their guy going forward, I don't

3063
02:33:17,360 --> 02:33:19,920
Speaker 24: have I wouldn't have any issue whatsoever if they decided

3064
02:33:19,959 --> 02:33:21,240
Speaker 24: that was going to be the direction they went.

3065
02:33:21,560 --> 02:33:24,120
Speaker 2: Sorry, I thought I edited out the question there, bringing

3066
02:33:24,160 --> 02:33:27,320
Speaker 2: my bad all right, real quick before we break in

3067
02:33:27,400 --> 02:33:30,640
Speaker 2: a no, we're up against it brand, anyone other than

3068
02:33:30,680 --> 02:33:34,480
Speaker 2: a quarterback in number one? Would that surprise you because.

3069
02:33:34,240 --> 02:33:36,960
Speaker 3: It would mean yeah, I would surprise me for sure.

3070
02:33:37,720 --> 02:33:40,720
Speaker 1: You're looking at a team that desperately needs a foundational

3071
02:33:40,800 --> 02:33:43,920
Speaker 1: piece at quarterback. You have two options here, though it's

3072
02:33:44,040 --> 02:33:47,760
Speaker 1: becoming glaringly obvious that maybe there's only one. I'm here

3073
02:33:47,879 --> 02:33:51,680
Speaker 1: for it. I'm here for it. I think cam Ward

3074
02:33:51,760 --> 02:33:53,800
Speaker 1: would be a great fit in Tennessee.

3075
02:33:54,000 --> 02:33:55,920
Speaker 2: If you decide you want to go get abdul Carter,

3076
02:33:56,000 --> 02:33:58,840
Speaker 2: if you decide you want that generational talent and Travis

3077
02:33:58,920 --> 02:34:00,880
Speaker 2: hun or go for it. But to he fixed that

3078
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:04,320
Speaker 2: quarterback spot, get your guy, get cam.

3079
02:34:04,240 --> 02:34:04,800
Speaker 1: Ward in there.

3080
02:34:04,959 --> 02:34:07,000
Speaker 2: I think it'd be a great pick for Tennessee. All right,

3081
02:34:07,040 --> 02:34:09,000
Speaker 2: we'll break, we'll come back. Put a rap with what's

3082
02:34:09,040 --> 02:34:12,879
Speaker 2: on tap today right here on Fox Sports Radio. Well,

3083
02:34:13,040 --> 02:34:17,720
Speaker 2: final segment for US Bucky Brooks and the great Andy

3084
02:34:17,760 --> 02:34:24,119
Speaker 2: Furman coming up next. Interesting in Bucky's most recent mock draft,

3085
02:34:24,520 --> 02:34:27,720
Speaker 2: I love what he's done. He's gone a little bit

3086
02:34:27,760 --> 02:34:31,880
Speaker 2: against what most of the NFL. I guess you could

3087
02:34:31,920 --> 02:34:35,280
Speaker 2: say mock draft world has done. Where he has Chador

3088
02:34:35,480 --> 02:34:38,119
Speaker 2: Sanders going number one overall.

3089
02:34:39,160 --> 02:34:42,039
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean, I think people that.

3090
02:34:42,080 --> 02:34:45,279
Speaker 2: Are dog in shaudor Sanders because he can't he doesn't

3091
02:34:45,320 --> 02:34:47,240
Speaker 2: have necessarily elite speed.

3092
02:34:47,360 --> 02:34:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Go draft Anthony Richardson then, but he's.

3093
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:56,000
Speaker 2: Got Sanders one, followed by Abdul Carter two, with cam

3094
02:34:56,080 --> 02:34:58,680
Speaker 2: Ward three. I think this ends up being a dream

3095
02:34:58,760 --> 02:35:03,120
Speaker 2: scenario for the Patriots, who can get Travis Hunter at

3096
02:35:03,160 --> 02:35:06,400
Speaker 2: four and Mason Graham at five. Now, Bucky, we can

3097
02:35:06,440 --> 02:35:09,879
Speaker 2: talk about your decision to give the Raiders Ted Roha McMillan.

3098
02:35:11,200 --> 02:35:13,320
Speaker 2: I love it, but I just wonder if six is

3099
02:35:13,400 --> 02:35:16,760
Speaker 2: too high. Whenever you have so many other needs, what

3100
02:35:16,840 --> 02:35:18,800
Speaker 2: would you have you had a chance to do your

3101
02:35:18,840 --> 02:35:21,880
Speaker 2: work yet, Brie, what would you think of Jalen Walker

3102
02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:25,200
Speaker 2: in a Saints' uniform, the Georgia edge rusher.

3103
02:35:25,440 --> 02:35:27,560
Speaker 1: You need some dudes to get after the quarterback, right

3104
02:35:28,080 --> 02:35:28,600
Speaker 1: that help?

3105
02:35:28,959 --> 02:35:30,760
Speaker 3: That would help, definitely.

3106
02:35:31,520 --> 02:35:35,320
Speaker 2: I think the most fascinating draft storyline beyond like one

3107
02:35:35,400 --> 02:35:38,480
Speaker 2: through five and what happens with the quarterbacks is how

3108
02:35:38,600 --> 02:35:42,520
Speaker 2: early Ashton gent goes the running back out of Boise

3109
02:35:43,280 --> 02:35:45,880
Speaker 2: and if more than one running back goes in the

3110
02:35:45,959 --> 02:35:50,160
Speaker 2: first round. Mel kiper Junior said this week that he

3111
02:35:50,320 --> 02:35:54,600
Speaker 2: had I think it was forty forty running backs that

3112
02:35:54,720 --> 02:35:57,240
Speaker 2: he had a draftable grade on forty.

3113
02:35:58,560 --> 02:35:59,480
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

3114
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:02,640
Speaker 2: All right, So that's coming up next with Andy and

3115
02:36:02,720 --> 02:36:05,840
Speaker 2: Bucky here on Fox Sports Radio, and then Brian know,

3116
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:09,080
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz and Bill Krackenberger will be in whether MGM

3117
02:36:09,120 --> 02:36:12,560
Speaker 2: Betts pre game on a busy Sunday. So here's here's

3118
02:36:12,640 --> 02:36:17,760
Speaker 2: your go to must watch events, all right, ABC, ESPN,

3119
02:36:17,840 --> 02:36:22,720
Speaker 2: they're going all in on basketball. Football's gone, season's over.

3120
02:36:23,320 --> 02:36:25,959
Speaker 2: Let's get some hoops. You get the Nicks and the Celtics.

3121
02:36:26,680 --> 02:36:30,000
Speaker 2: That's the noon game. They're gonna show them Mavericks and

3122
02:36:30,040 --> 02:36:33,400
Speaker 2: the Warriors at two thirty. I'm sure this was decided

3123
02:36:33,480 --> 02:36:36,920
Speaker 2: before the trade of one Luca Dacic, and then tonight.

3124
02:36:38,360 --> 02:36:39,879
Speaker 1: You heard Poppy in San Diego.

3125
02:36:40,959 --> 02:36:45,160
Speaker 2: His pick of the night was Oklahoma City minus nine

3126
02:36:45,200 --> 02:36:47,520
Speaker 2: and a half on the road at Minnesota. That's the

3127
02:36:47,840 --> 02:36:51,840
Speaker 2: ESPN game tonight at a thirty Central time. Do yourself

3128
02:36:51,879 --> 02:36:55,400
Speaker 2: a favor if I can give you of all the

3129
02:36:55,600 --> 02:36:59,600
Speaker 2: I mentioned the NBA games, obviously there's others. There's Tennessee

3130
02:36:59,600 --> 02:37:03,800
Speaker 2: and Florida playing women's college basketball today. NASCAR's back in action.

3131
02:37:03,959 --> 02:37:06,280
Speaker 2: That's where my attention is going to be. You got

3132
02:37:06,360 --> 02:37:11,160
Speaker 2: spring training baseball over all over MLB dot Com. TNT's

3133
02:37:11,200 --> 02:37:14,200
Speaker 2: got the Oilers and the Capitols this afternoon, followed by

3134
02:37:14,240 --> 02:37:15,560
Speaker 2: the Rangers and the Penguins.

3135
02:37:15,600 --> 02:37:17,280
Speaker 1: So you got hockey everywhere.

3136
02:37:17,920 --> 02:37:22,000
Speaker 2: But if there was if there was but one sporting

3137
02:37:22,040 --> 02:37:24,160
Speaker 2: event that I could go to and be a part

3138
02:37:24,240 --> 02:37:27,520
Speaker 2: of today, I would want to be at at Madison

3139
02:37:27,560 --> 02:37:31,120
Speaker 2: Square Garden, and I would want to see what happens

3140
02:37:31,120 --> 02:37:34,960
Speaker 2: when yukontacts on Saint John's. That is an eleven am

3141
02:37:35,520 --> 02:37:40,760
Speaker 2: tip noon Eastern eleven am Central, Neon Eastern and Yukon

3142
02:37:41,560 --> 02:37:45,840
Speaker 2: Right now, the back to back defending national champs, Yukon

3143
02:37:45,920 --> 02:37:49,200
Speaker 2: has projected as like an eight to nine seed in

3144
02:37:49,280 --> 02:37:51,959
Speaker 2: the NCAA Tournament. Now, that opens up a lot of things, right,

3145
02:37:52,320 --> 02:37:54,480
Speaker 2: you do not want to see Yukon in your bracket.

3146
02:37:55,120 --> 02:37:57,600
Speaker 2: You don't want to see him. It's still Danny Hurley.

3147
02:37:57,879 --> 02:38:02,240
Speaker 2: He's still a crazy person. There's still talented. But what

3148
02:38:02,400 --> 02:38:05,560
Speaker 2: Rick Patino has done at Saint John's this year after

3149
02:38:05,680 --> 02:38:09,360
Speaker 2: how miserable and almost you know, on the verge of

3150
02:38:09,480 --> 02:38:13,440
Speaker 2: never wanting to coach again that Patino looked last year. Uh,

3151
02:38:13,680 --> 02:38:17,080
Speaker 2: Saint John's is a problem, and it's it's it's kind

3152
02:38:17,120 --> 02:38:20,640
Speaker 2: of wild again. I'm I'm that nerd that constantly is

3153
02:38:20,720 --> 02:38:25,560
Speaker 2: looking at Bracketology and you look at Saint John's right now,

3154
02:38:26,640 --> 02:38:29,280
Speaker 2: and you're looking at a team that you know finds

3155
02:38:29,360 --> 02:38:32,840
Speaker 2: themselves in the world where hey, they they can be

3156
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:37,400
Speaker 2: like a top five seed heading into the NCAA Tournament.

3157
02:38:37,440 --> 02:38:40,240
Speaker 2: It's a really good team this year for Saint John's.

3158
02:38:40,920 --> 02:38:45,880
Speaker 2: So that'll be can't miss In fact, right now, in

3160
02:38:50,320 --> 02:38:51,360
