102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 3: In Detroit, John Davis has passed away. He was somebody

103
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: I actually Kelvin put on the radio. He's a sports

104
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: fan for a long time, him and his buddy Chauncey.

105
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: I gave him a show on My Fox on the

106
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: Sports Rap radio in Detroit. It was one of the

107
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: best things I ever did. Because these guys used to

108
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: sit around at the bar. They were just sports fans.

109
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: So I gave him a show called Cornbread and Chauncey.

110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: It was a proud moment for me because for John

111
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: it was like reaching something that he always wanted, you know,

112
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: in his life, like to have a platform. And he's

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: a big Lions fan and big sports fan and.

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 4: Talk about sports.

115
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: So I feel great that I was able to make

116
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: that happen for him in his life.

117
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: But he is passed.

118
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: Smart guy, great guy, and the world won't be as

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: kind without John Davis. So I don't want to be

120
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: on a downer. But yeah, I had to ask. I

121
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: had to mention the loss of John Davis.

122
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,240

Speaker 1: Boxing gloves.

161
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: Don't make me put the boxing gloves? All right? This

162
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: is bad? All right?

163
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Hey, rob G, Rob come, we'll get it together. Now.

164
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: How you're gonna read the teasers?

165
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: My glasses are broken, rob G.

166
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: It has been a tumultuous week for one mister Lebron James,

167
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: and it got even worse today when the ESPN.

168
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Athletic. That was the ESPN. ESPN okay, esp

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: great research there, I no, no, but you told me

170
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: that she put You told me that she put out

171
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: a statement.

172
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 6: The athletics since then, yes. So it started about a

173
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 6: week ago. Lebron James, for reasons unknown to us, you

174
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 6: know we talked about on the show, decided he needed

175
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 6: a twenty third season patch that only he would have

176
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 6: for the rest of the season. It started mid January

177
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 6: and Sacramento, of all places, that just seemed odd. And

178
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 6: then yesterday or She's be on Monday, it was announced

179
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 6: that for the first time in twenty one seasons, Lebron

180
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 6: James would not be listed as an All Star Game

181
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 6: starter in the NBA, which is crazy that it's gone

182
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 6: over two decades and the streak is finally broken. We

183
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 6: find out yesterday that, of course he didn get voted

184
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 6: in by the fans, but even his peers, his teammates,

185
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 6: his NBA brethren, didn't even have him in their top

186
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 6: six of Western Conference players on their ballance for the

187
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 6: NBA All Star Game.

188
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: And it all came.

189
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 6: To a head earlier on Wednesday, when ESPN's Backs Are

190
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 6: Homes did a ten thousand word piece discussing the dynamics

191
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 6: of the Genie bus Bus family sale of the Lakers.

192
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 6: All he one cared about, though, was about three paragraphs

193
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 6: where it explained that Genie Buss had grown frustrated with

194
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 6: Lebron for a number of reasons. Number one being that

195
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 6: she felt like she didn't like the narrative that Lebron

196
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 6: had chose them and he was like their savior for

197
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 6: their franchise. Number two, she didn't like the fact that

198
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 6: Lebron James had kind of absolved himself from the Russell

199
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 6: Westbrook trade, even though he pushed for it harder than we.

200
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: Remember the video of them having a pow wow in

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 4: his backyard.

202
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: And last but not least, she was very upset that

203
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 6: he didn't seem more grateful that they did him as

204
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 6: solid by drafting Bronni in the second.

205
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Round of the draft.

206
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: They drafted Bronni on potent, on his on his playing potential.

207
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 5: Right.

208
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: So it's been it's been a rough week for the King. Yes,

209
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 4: and I got a message for the King. I'm that serious.

210
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: Retire after this season. Call it quits. Seriously, Lebron, is

211
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: this on? I'm dead serious. The writing could not be

212
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: more on the wall right from everywhere you go. You

213
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: don't want to go out. Your players have told you

214
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: you're an afterthought. The fans, the Laker fans voted because

215
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 3: guess what, Luca got one point five million more votes

216
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: than he did when he was in Dallas last year.

217
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: And guess who got one point five million less votes,

218
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: Lebron James. So the Laker fans are out there voting

219
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: and they still didn't vote for you.

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 4: The players didn't vote for you. The fans didn't vote

221
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: for you.

222
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: The league did this phony patch that only you have,

223
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: and we were really celebrating your twenty three years in

224
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 3: the league. It should be a worldwide patch, right, everybody

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: should have it on and it should have started in

226
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: October when the season started. That's when you're twenty third

227
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: season started. You don't want to stick around too long.

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: You can't now next year and the All Star Game

229
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: is in LA. What to send off? Have it one

230
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: more time? And it could have been in LA. They

231
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: were not even interested in doing that for you. No

232
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: solid The worst thing you could do is come back

233
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: next year and guess what it be even worse than

234
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: this year? Like it is rock bottom. He has stayed

235
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: too long. Lebron James needs to retire. The writing is

236
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: on the wall in Los Angeles. Nobody wants you at

237
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: the All Star Game, Lebron James. Really, Calvin, I think

238
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: that says all you need to know. Fans don't want you,

239
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: and no owners want you. The players don't want you. Like,

240
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: what do you need some building to fall over on you?

241
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think Rob. I think what makes it difficult

242
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: with Lebron is all that it comes with. We'll talk

243
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: a little bit later about on Steph Curry some of

244
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the Steph Curry news and with the Warriors and whatnot.

245
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: But it's what comes with Lebron. It's not just singularly

246
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: the talent. He's actually still probably a top twenty men

247
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Rob G were talking about this top twenty player, top

248
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: twenty five, depending on where you want to go when

249
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: you watch him. And still like last night's gay, he

250
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: was incredible, and so the talent is there, what he

251
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: could bring to a team is still there? No, no,

252
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: oh dude, of course he's not. He's forty one years old.

253
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, is so it has to be something else,

254
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: And it becomes what all that brings with Lebron? Right,

255
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: it's all the expectations. It's coaches might get fired, coaches

256
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: by now, guys might get traded. It's it's everyone else's fault,

257
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: buzz his, it's all the innu windows and his secret messaging.

258
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: And now it's Rich Paul And is Rich Paul speaking

259
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: for Lebron or he's not? Is he his own man saying?

260
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: It's all that comes with it? And so one thing

261
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: going back to what Rob d was said, up with

262
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: the with Genie Buss I do disagree with the idea

263
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: that I mean, he did come. If you remember what

264
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: the Lakers were prior to him, including the years the

265
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: last few years with Kobe, they were awful. They were awful,

266
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: the reason why they had the number two pick three

267
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: years in a row. So the idea that oh, he came,

268
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: which brought a d because the whole clutch sports connection

269
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: and they got a championship out of that. So let's

270
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: not be little that like. I don't. I don't at

271
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: that part. I don't agree with he did come.

272
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 3: The Lakers are gonna be fine. The Lakers would be fine.

273
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: They've always sold out.

274
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I have no recollection of that. I have

275
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: no recollection of that post doctor Buss, I don't. You

276
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: can't tell me that Lake. If you told me with

277
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: doctor Bus.

278
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: If you told me you had empty seats here, I

279
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 3: would buy into that. There are no empty seats to

280
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles way.

281
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: What I'm not, well, I'm sorry. The Laker organization does

282
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: not base things off just to see he just talking

283
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: to a part of it.

284
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: No, but I'm just talking about full seats.

285
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: When they were winning thirty games with could they end

286
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of years with Kobe. Come on now, Robie, No.

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: But my point is that they weren't going anywhere whether

288
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: Lebron came or not, like they would have had to

289
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: rebuild and do something whether it was with Lebron or not.

290
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, let's not make it like you because

291
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: without a D, DI didn't do anything.

292
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: When a D wasn't he didn't even make the playoffs

293
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 4: with Lebron.

294
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: No, you've got a D because of Lebron. That's exactly

295
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: what I just said. You got Lebron, you got a D.

296
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: The whole clutch sports thing, and they were actually to

297
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: be relevant. They won a championship, Western Conference Finals. They

298
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: had a run of at least relevancy on the court,

299
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: not just in the seats because of the Lakers. That's

300
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So acting to belittle that first, you know,

301
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: part of his tenure first four or five years. But

302
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: with that being said, I actually agree, and I mentioned

303
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: this half tongue in cheek hack seriously that I think

304
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: the All Star Game is a perfect time where very

305
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: Lebron asked for him to announce retirement. It's in LA

306
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: you didn't vote me in. I feel some type of

307
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: way the Lakers. I had to opt in. They didn't

308
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: offer me an extension. Rich Paul says they never asked

309
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: for one whose side of you know what, of your

310
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: believe But that to me seems.

311
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: Like an opportunity for Lebron. Do you expect it to happen?

312
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying that would not Shota.

313
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: I'm saying I'm not. I'm just saying, do you expect Lebron?

314
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't expect. I'm just saying I could see this

315
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: happening where he says, I'm gonna suck the oxygen out

316
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: of this room. The All Star Games in La we

317
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: mentioned I'm not starting. Watch me announce something here where

318
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: it won't it all becomes about me again. That would

319
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: take you know that what it completely changed. The whole

320
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: entire weekend will be about that. And I could see

321
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: that as a great opportunity to say, you know, the

322
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: middle finger. If he feels slighted at all, here's a

323
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: good chance to put the mit proverbial middle finger up

324
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: and say to the Lakers, to an NBA, to fans,

325
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: whoever slighted me, he's not sure he's gonna be there.

326
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: That's not that's not crazy too, that that wouldn't do that.

327
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: I can't imagine him showing up.

328
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: That's not crazy, not being voted as a starter for

329
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: the first time, and it's.

330
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: So what's the outthough? What are you sick? I had

331
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: a family?

332
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: What's the thing? He didn't want to go last year?

333
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: I just he won't go.

334
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean he's gone to the coaches are gonna put

335
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: him in, So then it becomes but.

336
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: He can always Yeah, you could decline he didn't want

337
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: to do it. I just don't think so.

338
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: I I it's gotten weird where een years ago we

339
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: would all thought he would have had an amazing farewell tour.

340
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: Kareem got it, Jordan got it. You would think Lebron

341
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: would get that. Now we're at a place where I

342
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: think it's just gonna end pretty bad, and he's gonna

343
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: walk away, And he very well could be this year

344
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: and should be this.

345
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,400

385
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: really maybe even the league as a whole. Is it

386
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,800

Speaker 1: I can play with my son? He did that, check

408
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,120

00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: the He ain't on the same court.

412
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: They play together.

413
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: Okay, they didn't play together. I say it was one

414
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: of the buns together. I said they played together.

415
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,159

417
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: Are you doing?

418
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking the call. Listen. His name is King James.

419
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 8: He sees himself as the king. Most definitely, he's not

420
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 8: going to be able to leave the NBA without a

421
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 8: royal pir session. He's going to need all the bells

422
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 8: and whistles. It's not going to be a Tim Duncan situation.

423
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 8: So that's and then again with his connections with Hollywood

424
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 8: and Clutch Sports, Lebron looked at these things right cinematically.

425
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Dray, I hear you, But there's an All Star

426
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: Game happening in Los Angeles and nobody wanted him there.

427
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 3: What farewell tour are you going to get around the

428
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 3: rest of the country if your own peers didn't vote

429
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: for you? Right, he was six, so he didn't make

430
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: that team that they one point five million voted for

431
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: Luca more than they did Lebron, and Lebron lost one

432
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 3: point five I mean, all the scenes are there.

433
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 4: What's going to be different next year? I don't seriously.

434
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 8: Next year, hopefully Rob his temper tantrum can end, which

435
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 8: is what he's been putting on all season, because the

436
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 8: Lakers moved off of him for Luca Doncics, So the

437
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 8: procession tour is not going to take place with the Lakers.

438
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 8: Maybe possibly, you know what's going on in Golden State,

439
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 8: that that could open up and he can go and

440
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 8: team up with with with Chef Curry. Spwit's over. The

441
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 8: sun had set for him in Los Angeles. We know

442
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 8: that when the ad dal when the Lakers swindled the

443
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 8: Mavericks to get Luca over there, and he's been upset

444
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 8: ever since, and that's why it devolved the point where

445
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 8: it's at. So he's gonna have to find his other

446
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 8: destination Cleveland, Golden State, whereat my Miami, and that's where

447
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 8: he'll have the farewell tour in Belgian whistles. But unfortunately

448
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 8: it's not gonna put him.

449
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: I just don't I just don't see it. I don't

450
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: care where he goes. I don't think people.

451
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: If we have more time, I would ask you, rob

452
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: uh Kareem got it? You know obviously we all know,

453
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: like why wouldn't like why did Kareem versus the NBA

454
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: not want to do it for Lebron? You know what

455
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean?

456
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 4: If I don't want to do it, I'm talking about.

457
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the NBA gave like like everywhere that Kareem

458
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: was going, Like Lebron is a polarizing figure.

459
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: Kareem wasn't that same thing. Nothing, No, not like Lebron.

460
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: You kidding.

461
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: The mass media end of it, but.

462
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: No, Kareem Kareem was.

463
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 3: Kareem was outspoken in a different kind of guy like that.

464
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 3: But I don't think that he was hated as much

465
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 3: as Lebron. There are people who just don't like Lebron.

466
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: That's facts, don't That's all I'm saying is like he's polarizing,

467
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 3: so it ain't as easy to have it different some places,

468
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: if Lebron had a thing, they might him at at

00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,359

00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 7: If he does not receive a head coaching job, then

Speaker 7: he's going to be back as a team's defense.

Speaker 1: he's at his ceiling for the next twenty twenty five years.

499
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,280

531

Speaker 1: Use as directed for minor eights and payings. Mike Sandal

532
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: now our guest, your athletic senior NFL writer Sando NFL

533
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: on X there.

534
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna make Mike, how are you good?

535
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: Are you?

536
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say straight up, the league doesn't hire

537
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: black coaches to begin with.

538
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: So now you're going to hire a black coach that's

539
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 4: suing the league. I just was he ever getting a job?

540
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Mike?

541
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: Did you think that Brian Flores was going to get

542
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: a head coach and joh Waye has a live, active

543
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: suit against the league?

544
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 5: No, I thought it would be unlikely. I think also

545
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 5: the way that the way that it went in in Miami,

546
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 5: you know, he had to explain away some of that stuff.

547
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: I mean he really got In fact, Ryan Fitzpatrick, who's

548
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: pretty prominent on Amazon, you know, kind of was like, hey,

549
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 5: it was tough. He was different, became a different guy.

550
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 5: A lot of people had that that optic on him

551
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: when he was there, that he's a great guy. And

552
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 5: then when he got power, he was you know, Todd

553
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 5: is good and so it wouldn't be the first guy

554
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 5: to do that. But the handling of the quarterback there,

555
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 5: all that stuff. I think the reason why a deal

556
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 5: gets done with Minnesota is they got to protect their

557
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 5: interest too. They can't be looking for a coordinator in

558
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 5: a month, right.

559
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: No, No, I get that, Yeah, I get there, and

560
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: Mike for sure, But if he really thought he had

561
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: a shot at a job, I'd be like, well, you

562
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: have to wait. I might get a head coaching job,

563
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 3: and he knows he's not getting one, that's all that's

564
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 3: my part.

565
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 5: But he can still get one. I mean, look, look,

566
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: this is this gives him a fallback where he doesn't

567
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: have to move. He probably likes it there and he

568
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 5: can still look for ad coaching job. I think that

569
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 5: he was probably, uh, you know, there's probably some other

570
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 5: issues in terms of whatever the money was or all

571
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 5: of that, you know, that needed to be resolved, and

572
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 5: those things oftentimes don't get resolved until there's some pressure.

573
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: All right, here my quickest question, and then we'll move

574
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: on ten openings.

575
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: Will any black coaches be hired?

576
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 5: That's a great question. I really don't know, don't.

577
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: I don't even with the interview process. I don't even

578
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: I don't even hear any black names. I don't know

579
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: who all the candidates. I don't know everybody. I don't

580
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 3: And even Eric Benemy tried to get a job for

581
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: ten years. He went back to the Kansas City Chiefs

582
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: to do the same job.

583
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 4: What jobs are there? I just don't see them.

584
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, if you had, off the top of my head,

585
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: if you had to bet you'd probably bet there may

586
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 5: not be right. And I'm trying to think, who's nobody nobody?

587
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: It's just crazy.

588
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 5: You look at the candidate list freach team. Obviously they're

589
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 5: bringing some guys in, but you're like, okay, they're just

590
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: complaining with rules here.

591
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: Yes, well what the rules? I mean at this given

592
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: point as we sit here today, there's only three black coaches.

593
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: So the Rudy rule really worked, like you know what

594
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty years of it and.

595
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: John Holborn, New York. I don't did they interview anybody else?

596
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't. That's a great question.

597
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 3: And if you the minority candidate, Mike, I don't know.

598
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 5: They have to. Yes, they had to. They have to.

599
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 5: You have to to be able to comply with the

600
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: with the rules. So but you know when they when

601
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: they when they hired them, the GM said, yeah, we do.

602
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 5: From the beginning. You know, this was the guy.

603
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: We all do. Mike. They're flying and winding Donald's private jet.

604
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, uh, we can we can switch gears here?

605
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: Talk about this game with the for the Broncos obviously devastating.

606
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: You're excited you're going to the AFC Championship, but then

607
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: you lose your quarterback in bow Knicks, what's the game plan? Now?

608
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: How do you pivot and try to get to a

609
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: super Bowl? We've seen it? Can you can you go

610
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: Nick Foles?

611
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 4: Can you go.

612
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: Tom Brady his first year at it?

613
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well you probably to me their best chances. I

614
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 5: think he can win a game. I don't think you're

615
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 5: winning too with the backup quarterbacks. Certainly you're going to

616
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: get on the other side, you know, Uh, if you

617
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 5: get Seattle's defense, I think that would be real problematic

618
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 5: for for them. I think it might be with bow

619
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 5: Knicks anyway. But uh uh, it makes it interesting, like

620
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 5: because you do have a coach and Sean Payton who's

621
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 5: got a good defense, you know on his team.

622
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 4: And defense can win.

623
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, he and when he you know, when he lost

624
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 5: Drew Breeze, they still won some games in New Orleans,

625
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 5: but it was like it was because of the defense.

626
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 5: Like the offense, you know, the quarterbacks had some winning records,

627
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 5: like I think Jamis Winston might have even had like

628
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 5: a really good record, but it was a lot of

629
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 5: defensive winning going on. So you know that that's got

630
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 5: to be a big part of what they're thinking. The

631
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: same at the same time there instead of as a veteran.

632
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 5: You know, I think that he I know people that

633
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 5: have been you know, with in places he's he's going

634
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 5: to come in and project confidence and command and all

635
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 5: of that. But you know, I think you don't. I

636
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 5: think you really don't know what you're getting in the game.

637
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 5: And for two games in a row, you know, I,

638
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 5: I really have my questions.

639
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 4: Mike helped me with c. J.

640
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: Stroud of turnover uh ten turnovers in six quarters in two.

641
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 4: Playoff games is mind boggling.

642
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: If I'm the Texans with a with a Super Bowl

643
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: type defense, I really.

644
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: Got to figure out is this going?

645
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: Is he going to bounce back? Or do I need

646
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: to look for another option here?

647
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty bad. I mean, Joe talk about a

648
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 5: guy who looks so good as you know, as a rookie,

649
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: and they still have won and they've won playoff games

650
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 5: every year. But I'm kind of with you here to where, Hey,

651
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 5: if you're going to it's kind of like you tolerate

652
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 5: some of these games in the playoffs if the ceiling's

653
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 5: really high the rest of the time, right, We've seen

654
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 5: that with any number of quarterbacks over here, Josh Allen

655
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 5: or Lamar Jackson, John Elway early in his career, right,

656
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 5: I mean, even Peyton Manning the first six seven years

657
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 5: he didn't win anything in the playoffs, but the rest

658
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: of the time he was like MVP. You know, so

659
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: you're kind of like, Okay, you know, maybe he'll get

660
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: over it at some point. But when you're just sort of,

661
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 5: you know, decent in the regular season and then completely implode,

662
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 5: I think, you know, he's probably one more postseason implosion

663
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: away from you know, that'd being super gastly for If

664
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 5: I'm them, I certainly don't rush into a huge contract.

665
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: Well, I can't see him getting a contract not this

666
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: all season.

667
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first time he deligible for what I believe?

668
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: What's the latest with Stefan Diggs, you know, the court

669
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: dates and the alleged strangulation situation. He's going to be

670
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: able to play and will say they win and go

671
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, Like, what's what's the latest with that?

672
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 5: Well, that's pretty interesting. The number one interesting thing to

673
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 5: me on that was that Mike Rabel most of the

674
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: time when people bringing this sort of thing up, the

675
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 5: coach is like kind of timid or he's kind of like, hey,

676
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 5: you know, we're just gathering information. No comment for Able's like,

677
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 5: we got his back. It wasn't that amazing. It was

678
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 5: just like a player like rabel is, a former player.

679
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 5: It just really struck me, like they they just said

680
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 5: he's our guy, you know, and almost uh, you know,

681
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: in a much more supportive way.

682
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 4: Is this the Patriots that had Aaron Hernandez too, they

683
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 4: had his back too.

684
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm just I'm just I don't know that

685
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: this is on the same No, no.

686
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: No, I'm not saying that, but they had his back too.

687
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, you got interesting.

688
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 5: I mean topically they said we got.

689
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: Him, yes, yeah, I mean then when people said that

690
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: he was on the do not draft list, I know

691
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: I saw, don't you say that?

692
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: And the Patriots didn't feel that way.

693
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 5: They were like a lot of teams draft guys. I'm

694
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 5: talking about when there's something Penny, Yeah, no, I think that.

695
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I get it.

696
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: You're trying to be supportive, but you got to be

697
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: careful whenever it is uh, you know, legal matters involved.

698
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: It's nice to say that, but you also have to say, hey,

699
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: you know, like this out of our control.

700
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 5: That's all I'm saying, the league does this stuff on

701
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 5: their own timetable, so I don't know, you know, they

702
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 5: could suspend the tomorrow or not and wait till after

703
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 5: the season.

704
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: Robert sala Is getting another chance. Are you surprised by that?

705
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 5: Not really. I think that, you know, there was some

706
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 5: more talk in this cycle about giving second chances to people.

707
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 5: I think they've run the well dry on all these

708
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 5: fifteen year old offensive coordinators. You know, there's just you

709
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: get to a point where there's not a pool of

710
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 5: those guys very many. So uh, and then we've seen,

711
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: you know, I think some of those some of those

712
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 5: second chance guys have have you know, done okay. So

713
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 5: I think it doesn't surprise me at all. I think

714
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 5: you take into account the situation. I think the Jets

715
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 5: are a really hard place for anyone to win, and

716
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 5: we've seen quarterbacks come out of those New York markets

717
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 5: and do well elsewhere when they were completely running into

718
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 5: the ground when they were in that market. So uh,

719
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: you know, sola Is probably has a better chance in

720
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 5: tennesseean than the Jets. You think those Titans, Yes, even

721
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 5: though the Titans are not a good organization. So he's

722
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 5: so got the challenges there, but I think he's going

723
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 5: to be in a totally different setting, uh for him,

724
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: where I think he'll probably have some more.

725
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: Time, you know, real callahandhad I'm sorry, real quick, last

726
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: one for me, real quick. Just Rams Seahawks, big one

727
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: coming up. Rams went close early in November, and then

728
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: of course the Seahawks weak got one.

729
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: A few weeks we got one ms up.

730
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: Yes, what do you what do you make of this one? Now?

731
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 5: I think it's a real tough spot for the Rams.

732
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 5: I do I think that, you know, they have really

733
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 5: been on a run of I think they've played in Atlanta,

734
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 5: They've played in Charlotte, they've played in uh, you know, Chicago,

735
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 5: all these long road trips and Seattle sitting there hasn't

736
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 5: made any hearty trips and and uh you know, had

737
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 5: the bye week. I think that it sets up as

738
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 5: a in Seattle's favor with the home crowd and just

739
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 5: a Ram team that I would think could run out

740
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 5: of gas uh in the second half.

741
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: All right, there you have it. That's one of the

742
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: days we'll see Mike. Appreciate it, appreciate you, thank you, Okay,

00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: He sounds he wasn't sure about all that smoke about

757
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 3: the coaches stopped the box.

758
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he was kind of like, I wasn't

759
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: ready for all that. But hey, seriously, Roster, real conversation, Like,

760
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: what was the point of the rule, was the point

761
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: of having this supposed to be this pivotal change and

762
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: here we are things look the exact same. If not,

763
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: you could argue, maybe even worse.

764
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: When the Lions hire Steve Mariucci, no black coaches would

765
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: even go to Detroit.

766
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 4: Do you remember that?

767
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they knew that they knew that Mariucci was hired already,

768
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 3: and they and none of them would do the dog

769
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: and Pony show so that the Lions could do that.

770
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 4: I remember that they got fined.

771
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: And this is what Brian Flores was talking about exactly.

772
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: Remember that he was gonna go and and Bill Belichick

773
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: called him by mistake.

774
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 4: You can say, congratulations on the job.

775
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,120

00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: For the job. Is that it dude, exactly here we are.

Speaker 1: it on him, just asking more or less because he

836
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: would be one of the prominent persons like he had

837
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: a job for nineteen years, but he.

838
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,120

00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 3: He hired one black offensive and defensive coordinator is an

840
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,680

842
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: You get what I mean, because Brian flores Is almost

843
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: can't say anything now because he's got the lawsuit. But

844
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,919

845
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: just you know, as far.

846
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,040

847
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,440

848
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: also again to be here twenty years later having a

849
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: whole purpose of the rule and there's been no advancement,

850
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: no real change of it. And that's why I said,

851
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you you brought that up. You asked, because

852
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: it's not even names circulating around that You're like, oh,

853
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: there's interest here, there's interest there. Nobody sad.

854
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,239

00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: they have an association.

857
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,239

859
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:13,520
