169
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 5: Inspiration?

170
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I went to Dubai on vacation, so I just was

171
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: and I was listening to the.

172
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 5: They should lock you up for that song.

173
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: They should lock you up so bad.

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: I wanted a real singer to hear some of my

175
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: work carry and I we don't get to do this

176
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: all right. I want to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers

177
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: and just get your take on on where we are

178
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, because rob g the stuff coming out

179
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: of campus that their defense right, glowing, glowing reports about

180
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: the defense. We know what they've done defensively for years.

181
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: They've somehow been able to win nine and ten games

182
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: with no quarterbacks.

183
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: Seriously, Aaron Rodgers saying him in the OC are getting

184
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: on swimmingly, everything's going, you know.

185
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: And now he got a quarterback.

186
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: If they can keep him healthy, people forget and and

187
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: we get it. The Jets were all full, so you

188
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: just look at the record. But Patrick Mahomes and Aaron

189
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers had the exact same stats.

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: Go look at it.

191
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Anybody who's like being honest and just look at the stats.

192
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: They were the same stats and he was way better

193
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: the last ten games of the season.

194
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: I think what's the over under? Is it nine?

195
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: I think they won eleven games? Ten eleven games and

196
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: win a playoff game.

197
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I think I'm on board with that.

198
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 7: They the Fox Sports they had a poll where the

199
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 7: Steelers were the six rand team coming to the season.

200
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 3: I think that's a little high.

201
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 7: But the fact that they brought in these guys they

202
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 7: got in, they got you know, Aaron Rodgers number one,

203
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 7: he's gonna play well. Guys like that don't stay down

204
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 7: on the mat for long, right now. No, No, when you

205
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 7: beat them up and you try to discredit what they've done,

206
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 7: they'll come out.

207
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: You remember we had I had a big fight with

208
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks on this show because you remember when Aaron

209
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers had the bad year, Rob g what year was that?

210
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: And he was basically saying his career was over.

211
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: You go, yeah, should go to Chicago And he only

212
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: won one of the two MVPs after that.

213
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: After that.

214
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: What was funny is Bucky's like, yeah, I got that

215
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: went wrong and Rob will still bring it up over

216
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: and over.

217
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: And over because because he was so wrong, like he

218
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh, he's done.

219
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: This was five years How many years ago was that five?

220
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: Six years ago?

221
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: This was before the first MVP, you know, when he

222
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: came back for the and he went back to back.

223
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: That's why like six like six years ago, six years ago,

224
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. And he was ready to say,

225
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: oh he can't play anymore?

226
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: Is this and that?

227
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: And I'm with you, And that's why I try to

228
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: bring whenever I'm just talking about him. The stats that

229
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. They won fifteen, they were fifteen and two

230
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: with those stats at the quarterback and what you could

231
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: do if you have a quarterback who's decent, which they

232
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: haven't had in years.

233
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 7: I love I love him in that situation. I know

234
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 7: they they brought in John new Smith as well, so

235
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 7: they want to run some twelve personnel. So they're gonna

236
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 7: run the ball, they're gonna play action. They got fire

237
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 7: muth and they got John new Smith at the tight

238
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 7: end position.

239
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: You got DK on the outside.

240
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 7: They're gonna be better and defensively if they're playing the

241
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 7: way they're playing right now. I like the addition of

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 7: Jalen Ramsey because he's gonna be able to play corner

243
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 7: but also play safety and move around a little bit.

244
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 7: So I like the flexibility that he that he has there.

245
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 7: So that team's gonna be good. But they're in a

246
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 7: division with Baltimore and Cincinnati and so it's just it's

247
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 7: gonna be a war of attrition.

248
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: They still made the playoffs last year, you know what

249
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like with those teams in there, and that's

250
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The other thing too, is Mike Tomlin,

251
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: let's let's just be honest. It's go time. Yeah, Like,

252
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: they haven't won anything in a law like they ever

253
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: want to. They won a Super Bowl a long time ago.

254
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: What was that two nine or ten?

255
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: No, it was eight a nine eight or nine nine?

256
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, one of right, Yeah, that was still Cows team,

257
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 7: So it wasn't.

258
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: And then he had they haven't won a playoff game

259
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: in like since.

260
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 3: Twelve or eleven or something like, it's been a while.

261
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: When you start to add up what and I think

262
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: he knows they need to win a playoff game. They

263
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: need to you know, I know the goals to win

264
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but you need to get into the

265
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: dance right and then have a legitimate chance and win

266
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: a playoff game. And I think that's why I'm into

267
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I think because they have been able to

268
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: win in the past without a quarterback. And I don't

269
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is Aaron Rodgers back to back MVP. Yeah,

270
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: at thirty eight or nine years old. I mean at

271
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: thirty six or seven. He's older now, but if you

272
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: can keep him up right and protect him, he can still.

273
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: Throw the football. You can throw the football, that's not

274
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: that's not an issue. It's keeping him upright.

275
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 7: And if he stays upright and they can play defense

276
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 7: the way they can, the team has a chance. I'm

277
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 7: intrigued just to see with all the pick ups they

278
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 7: had right Pittsburgh usually plays it safe and kind of

279
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 7: stay status cool, and I think that's why they've been

280
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 7: right around five hundred the whole time. But this is

281
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 7: the team that, like you said, it's taking a swing

282
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 7: for the defenses right now, and I'm excited to see it.

283
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: All right eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight

284
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: seven seven nine to nine, six sixty three sixty nine,

285
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: Real simple, What are your expectation for the Steelers and

286
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: last time they won a playoff game with twenty seventeen.

287
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been.

288
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: A while, That's what I'm saying, like like like he

289
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: needs to win one. It's been it's been a minute,

290
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, and the Steelers need that. Their fan base,

291
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure, is like, Okay, how long are we gonna

292
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: go without winning a playoff game?

293
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

294
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: What are your expectations? I got them winning a playoff game.

295
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: I got them winning. I think the nine I think

296
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: is the over under. I got them over that. I

297
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: got them ten or eleven wins. I would take that

298
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: to the bank because of what they do defensively. In

299
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: the addition of Aaron Rogers, where are you, we want

300

Speaker 7: I'm crack crack crack a few achy joint know that,

320
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 7: no doubt?

321
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: All right?

322
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox talking about the Steelers. Uh,

323
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: they won ten games last year with a quarterback roulette.

324
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: The defense is good. I think they're gonna win eleven

325
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: games and a playoff game. That's where I'm at with

326
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I like what they've done. They have a

327
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: sense of urgency. Mike Tomlin needs to win. Where are

328
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: you am, I sugar over the top. You got them

329
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: not winning any games?

330
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: Where are you? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox?

331
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: All right, we got Tim from the at L. You're

332
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: on with the odd couple. Man, how you doing?

333
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 11: Hey, what's just carried?

334
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 10: Rob?

335
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 11: I'm gonna definitely try to see it tomorrow, and when

336
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 11: that's you, I'm going to remind you of the gamest

337
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 11: delicious from the Boondock. Stop Jock, please stop Jock riding

338
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 11: for Aaron Rodgers.

339
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you mean what you mean?

340
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: You mean the quarterback with the greatest quarterback rating in

341
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: the history of the league, that quarterback Kerry Gerry.

342
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 11: Have you ever seen the episode I'm Jock riding for Obama?

343
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 11: They did, That's what.

344
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: I have not seen it.

345
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: But they want they want ten games with justin fields

346
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: out there.

347
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: My god, they won ten games last year.

348
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 11: And though here's my problem with your take, Ride, I

349
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 11: get what you're saying, but when you comparing Patrick Mahons,

350
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 11: Patrick Mahomes has had playoff success over the last no no.

351
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: No, no no no, that's not Tim, Tim, Tim, Well,

352
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: let me say that. All I'm doing is the stats

353
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: like and and you can say whatever you want about

354
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes last year. I guarantee I swear to go

355
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: and look Tim and find me a quarterback that was

356
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: fifteen and two and got zero first place votes for

357
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: MVP it's not possible.

358
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: It's impossible.

359
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 11: I get what you're saying. But what I'm saying is this,

360
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 11: like if we look at Aaron Rodgers, even when he

361
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 11: had those MVP seasons in Green Bay, he came up

362
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 11: laying against the forty nine ers twice. So I get

363
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 11: what you're saying. He said, sometimes it's about the moment,

364
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 11: needing the moment, and that's my problem with Aaron Rodgers

365
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 11: in the last couple of years.

366
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: Won a Super Bowl.

367
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: And see this is where I no, no, no, it

368
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter when you know why. You know why, Tim, Tim, Tim, No,

369
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: but Tim, this is why. Because people say Damn Marino

370
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: is a great quarterback, but he never won a Super Bowl.

371
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I could give you a ton of guys who were

372
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks, but at least Aaron Rodgers had his moment

373
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: where he did win was the Super Bowl MVP. And

374
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: I can't give you any other quarterback who played in

375
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: as many playoff games as he had where they gave

376
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: up four or more points defensively.

377
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: So you're right, he doesn't have all the.

378
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: Greatest stats, but you're not being fair when you look

379
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: at some of those and Tim, as somebody who's watched

380
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: the NFC and watched his whole career, like when I

381
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: was in Detroit. Here's the other thing that nobody ever

382
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: talks about is that a the Packers never drafted a

383
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: skill position player his entire career. That's true when he

384
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: was there, and there are a lot of things that

385
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: happened during that time where he lost in the postseason,

386
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: where he never got the ball back in the old days.

387
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: Those are facts I'm not giving you. You know what

388
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: I mean. Where he when they played Arizona. I don't

389
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: know if you remember this.

390
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: He throws a touchdown with no time left to tie

391
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: the game, Arizona gets the ball back right and scoring the.

392
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: Game over like you saved a moment.

393
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: He threw up a hail Mary with no time left

394
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: to tie the game to send it to overtime. The

395
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals got the ball, drove it down and won the game.

396
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: Right.

397
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 11: Okay, that's all.

398
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Rob.

399
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 11: I'll give you that if you if you give me.

400
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 11: You talked about Pat mahons. You can't tell me if

401
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 11: you've got those. Give me Pat mahomes in the Super

402
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 11: Bowl with that lineup against Chapel Bay with no offensive line.

403
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 11: So if you I'll give you Anon Rodgers, if you

404
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 11: give Pat Mahons a break off.

405
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so you mean you mean, uh, what about what about?

406
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 3: All right? What about last year? What was last year?

407
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 12: Last year?

408
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: There's no excuse, So let's all right there we go,

409
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: all right, dillright, Tim, I'll take it easy, appreciate you

410
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: Andre for Massachusetts.

411
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: Are on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.

412
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 10: Hell you doing, Thanks for taking the call listening. In

413
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 10: terms of the Steelers, they've put together a complete roster,

414
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 10: the offensive lead. Now they have a quarterback to run

415
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 10: their offense. I just managed the game. Aaron Rodgers can

416
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 10: get those trunk plays, those explosive plays as well. I

417
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 10: have been making the playoffs and consistent with you and

418
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 10: also winning a playoff game. Being that not just a

419
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 10: complete roster, but they're playing in arguably the toughest division

420
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 10: in all of football with the Ravens and the Bengals

421
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 10: and the upstart Browns team. People are sleeping on the

422
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 10: Browns just because of all the controversy and drama with

423
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 10: the quarterback. That's the team with a stout defense that

424
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 10: is going to have a competent quarterback to manage those games,

425
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 10: and you know they're going to be They're going to

426
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 10: have those knockdown, dragout games within the division. So two

427
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 10: of those teams are coming out definitely into the playoffs.

428
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 10: I have it being the Steelers and the Ravens, with

429
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 10: the Bengals being a possibility because I don't trust their defense.

430
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and they didn't do anything to fix it,

431
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: Thanks dray Right. They didn't do anything to fix it.

432
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: And that's my issue with the with the Bengals. Last

433
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: year we saw Joe Burrow throw nine touchdowns against the Ravens.

434
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: How many games did he win? Yes?

435
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: Zero into nine touchdowns in two games against a division

436
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: rival and didn't win a game, right, unbelieved Bard. Who

437
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: we got next? I'm just all over the place. Coming up,

Speaker 3: You say hi to Carry Rhodes.

456
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 12: I'm worried about Kerry Rhoades. Carry Roads is on every No,

457
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 12: it doesn't matter if I'm calling it on Tuesday night,

458
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 12: Friday afternoon, Sunday lunchtime. You guys give him any time off.

459
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 3: Mark, You're you're exactly right.

460
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 7: But I'm also I think I'm doing a little bit

461
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 7: of that myself on purpose.

462
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: Marking man working, Mark, no doubt. How are you? Mark?

463
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Uh Lucas contract UH one sixty five. I guess there

464
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: was some idea that if he takes less money now,

465
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: he can get more money later.

466
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 3: Is that the Is that the case?

467
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, Look, he could have done a three year extension

468
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 12: or the four year extension. But the three year extension

469
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 12: makes tons of sense for him because he has a

470
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 12: player option now going into the twenty eight twenty ninth season.

471
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 12: If he declines it and goes to free agency, his

472
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 12: next deal with the Lakers is going to to be

473
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 12: more than four hundred million over five years plus. I

474
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 12: reported this on Sunday. No one's really talking about this part.

475
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 12: But he can also get a no trade clause, and

476
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 12: there are only two full no trade clauses in the

477
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 12: whole NBA. Lebron has one and Damian the Lillard just

478
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 12: got one in his deal that brings him back to Portland.

479
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 12: Because it's in the NBA, it's hard to get that.

480
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: Would you give that to Damian Lillard suiously?

481
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 12: Because I'll explain it to you. You can only get

482
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 12: one in the NBA. The way the league rules work.

483
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 12: On no trade you have to have eight years of

484
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 12: service time, you have to have four with the same team.

485
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 12: But also you have to go to free agency and

486
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 12: get a new deal. You cannot add it to an extension.

487
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 12: And in the NBA almost everybody extends contracts, so they

488
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 12: don't go to free agency, and so they can't get

489
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 12: the no trade clause. But Damian Lillard was waved and

490
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 12: stretched became an unrestricted free agent. He obviously already had

491
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 12: four years with the Blazers before joining them, and he

492
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 12: obviously has more than eight years of service time, so

493
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 12: he was able to get at this time. When when

494
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 12: Damian Lillard did his extension with the Blazers a couple

495
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 12: of years ago, it was an extension, so he couldn't

496
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 12: get one. So this Luca's going to have this opportunity

497
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 12: in the summer of twenty twenty eight to get this

498
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 12: ridiculous you know, five year, four hundred plus million with

499
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 12: a no trade. I mean, for him, it is it's

500
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 12: a slam dunk.

501
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 11: To go this route.

502
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 3: Man, that's crazy.

503
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 10: Mark.

504
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 7: But I want to talk about I'm gonna deep dive

505
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 7: on the Lakers just a little bit more. Obviously, Luca

506
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 7: said in a press conference that he you know, this

507
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 7: team has what it takes to win. I think when

508
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 7: you hear that delusional. When you hear that, some people

509
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 7: like Rob will say as delusional. Right, But we saw

510
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 7: Luca take a Dallas Maverick team that was, you know,

511
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 7: their next best player or most dependable player was Drian

512
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 7: Finney Smith at a point, right, so we know he

513
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 7: can get them there, but like, what do you think

514
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 7: about this team and the where they're constructed right now

515
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 7: as far as their windows.

516
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 12: Compet He's always going to say that that's just the

517
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 12: we have, and you know, I can find it to

518
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 12: be a huge surprise. Look, I think the Lakers have

519
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 12: improved this summer given the limited flexibility that they have.

520
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 12: I don't know that they could have done much more

521
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 12: than you know, we're seeing a lot of buyouts in

522
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 12: the NBA these days, and they got two of the

523
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 12: best players on the buyout market in DeAndre Ayton and

524
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 12: Marcus Smart. So with really limited flexibility, they've made a

525
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 12: couple significant ads to the roster. And I think la

526
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 12: Ravia will be you know, at the price point they

527
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 12: got him, I think he can help them too. So

528
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 12: obviously they lost Story and Finny Smith, but the reality

529
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 12: is again they just think there's not that they just

530
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 12: don't have the wiggle room to go out and do

531
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 12: something splash year. And I think the thing that they're

532
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 12: probably happiest about is they kept their best trade chips.

533
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 12: They've got a twenty thirty one. First that people want.

534
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 12: You know, they could still trade Dalton connect. I mean

535
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 12: they've got they still have some trade assets that they

536
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 12: were able to hang on to. But look the thunder.

537
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 12: They're coming back as heavy favorites in the West. Houston

538
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 12: upgraded by getting Durant. Denver's had a nice summer, yep,

539
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 12: you know. And then we'll see about the rest of

540
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 12: the West and high how high up the ladder can

541
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 12: the Lakers go.

542
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: No doubt? What about the Spurs son in Fox?

543
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: The Aaron Fox got a four year, two hundred and

544
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: twenty nine million dollars.

545
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: Where do you see the Spurs?

546
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: You know, when everything is everybody's healthy and together, are

547
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: they anything in the West or or no?

548
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 12: Well, it all really comes down to Wemby. I think

549
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 12: this is a big This is a significant move obviously

550
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 12: to Max Deer and Fox because in February the Spurs

551
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,719
Speaker 12: made this big trade to bring in Fox as the

552
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 12: star sidekick to wem Minyama. But since then, we've seen

553
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 12: Stefan Cas win Rookie of the Year. We've seen the

554
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 12: Spurs get the number two pick in the draft lottery

555
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 12: and select Dylan Harper, who a lot of people think

556
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 12: has star potential. So it's not quite the same landscape

557
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 12: for the Spurs as it was when they made the

558
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 12: Fox Steel and when they made the Foxtel. At that point,

559
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 12: they're basically committing to the idea that, you know, we're

560
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 12: going to max this guy and make him Wenby's co star.

561
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 12: But I think there is a lot of curiosity around

562
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 12: the league. You know, we only saw Wemby and Fox

563
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 12: play I think in five games together. We barely saw

564
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 12: them as a duo. The question number one is in

565
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 12: wemb Yama comeback and have good health this season after

566
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 12: the terrible blood cloth issue that derailed his season after

567
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 12: the All Star Game, you know, was obviously super scary.

568
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 12: We got to see how he and Fox matches a duo.

569
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 11: But Fox, Castle.

570
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 12: And Harper is their room in the Spurs backcourt for

571
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 12: all three of those guys, and it's not how are

572
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 12: they going to direct it?

573
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: By that?

574
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 12: And look, we don't This doesn't get much notice. San

575
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 12: Antonio actually has the second longest playoffs route in the

576
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 12: whole league. The Onets have a nine season playoffs route.

577
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 12: The Spurs have been out of the playoffs for six

578
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 12: years in a row. And we are very unaccustomed to

579
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 12: seeing that from the San Antonio Spurs. So they need

580
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 12: to they need to make the playoffs this coming season.

581
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 12: But look, I think it really when if when Minyama

582
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 12: could play sixty five seventy games, you have to think

583
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 12: they're a playoff team.

584
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Mark, here we go.

585
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: We've been talking about I've been playing for Carrie. Some

586
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: of my greatest hits here on the couple. And of

587
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: course we have a Wemby song.

588
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: So here you go. Carry this for you. Yeah, we

589
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: one knows just Wimby. Oh my god, Mark, Oh my goodness.

590
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 12: You have the greatest hits catalog in the system.

591
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: Yes we do.

592
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm a sayinger. You know the Wimby song was made

593
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: by Do you know who? The original people made the

594
00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Wimby song?

595
00:28:59,520 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 3: Do you know more?

596
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 12: Please don't take this personal, but your rendition did not,

597
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 12: did not hit me with it.

598
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: No more time, one more time? Please, here we go,

599
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: Here we go. Everyone knows it's whim.

600
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: It's by the Association, which is great for the NBA.

601
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: By the Association, it's Wendy. Everyone knows it's Wendy.

602
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: I never heard that. You've heard us? How the Association?

603
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 12: You don't know that song, play the real one.

604
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: No, let's let's let's move on. I got one more question,

605
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: but I got a basketball. Everyone knows it's swim By.

606
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.

607
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 7: Market is funny over But no, it's funny because yes,

608
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 7: I think the Spurs going to be a better team

609
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 7: in the West this year. I think they have a

610
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 7: chance to surprise people. But I want to talk about

611
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 7: a guy that was being touted as you know, the

612
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 7: face of the league and obviously has some success in

613
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 7: the playoffs. And you know, now with these other teams

614
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 7: making moves, not talking about that much, but what do

615
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 7: you think about the Minnesota Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards and

616
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 7: that and and those guys.

617
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: Know, you're right, they've fallen off as far like a

618
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: lore or talk about them.

619
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 12: Well, maybe they've fallen off in terms of us talking

620
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 12: about them because they're another team that didn't have a

621
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 12: ton of flexibility. So it's not like they went out

622
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 12: and made a bunch of splashy moves. I mean, look,

623
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 12: they did consider they did have talks on Kevin Durant.

624
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 12: It was going to be you know, they would have

625
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 12: had to make. It would have been major changes for them.

626
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 12: They would have probably had to lose Gobart and Evincenzo.

627
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 12: They ultimately decided they didn't want to go that route.

628
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 12: I mean, here's the West is just yes, It's just

629
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 12: like like we can say that lake, How are the

630
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 12: Lakers going to do? How are the Spurs going to do?

631
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 12: How are the Wolves going to do? How are the

632
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 12: MAVs going to do? Right, hulf is going to decide

633
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 12: so much of this.

634
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: You didn't even known the Clippers, right, And you're.

635
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 12: Right, And I think I think, you know, look, a

636
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 12: lot of people are questioning the Clippers age, but I

637
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 12: think they've had a very nice summer and have clearly

638
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 12: upgraded their team. So that's the thing, is like Utah

639
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 12: is not trying to win in the West. Everybody else.

640
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, Portland's trying to win. Portland's brought

641
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 12: in Drew Holiday, and you know they're making and Indian Lillard,

642
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 12: who's obviously we don't expect Damian Lillard to play this

643
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 12: season recovering from the Achilles, But like Portland's making win

644
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 12: now moves and they were only a thirty four win

645
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 12: team last season. So everyone in the West is trying

646
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 12: to grab a playoff spot and just just finishing top

647
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 12: six in the West is a significant achievement because it

648
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 12: gets you out of the playing all.

649
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,680
