00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: what's up with that dude? Well, just got back from

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: atl Shawty. I was out there with the Danny word

19
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: full foundation. It had a pickle bowl yep, just like

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: it sounded pickle bowl, like the Super Bowl pickle ball.

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: And you know, I thought I was just going out.

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: There to show some love to Danny Whirldfore we both

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: came out the same year, nineteen ninety seven.

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: He was drafted fourth round.

25
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Y'all remember him, played about Danny got about five six

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: years in there, got about seven eight teams in there,

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: you know how it goes. I've been there before, like Danny,

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: and the great thing was just to see his foundation

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: make the pivot. They used to have the same old

30
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: chicken gala and the same old all right, let's have

31
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: a golf tournament. And then they went to pickleball and

32
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: literally have doubled their donations and their support was tremendous.

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: So I get out there thinking, I'm just.

34
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: Gonna be, you know, one of the midpac guys, former

35
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: athlete who plays pickleball, you know.

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: So I'm all right, let's do it.

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of far to play when I got one

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: in my backyard, but let's go to Atlanta to support

39
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: my dog.

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: And I get out there and dog, they they ain't

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: even lie to me. There weren't ringers out there.

42
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: There were actual professionals out there, like, oh, you playing

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: with a pro, and every team gonna have a pro,

44
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: and some teams just gonna have two damn good players.

45
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: It could be pro if they weren't so busy, right,

46
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: And I'm like, God, I'm not lying to y'all, I

47
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: might of what there were twenty fourteen to forty eight players.

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I might have left that thing. BCS ranked forty six,

49
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe forty six. We got one win. I played with

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: a guy, his name is Jay w He's next level, insane,

51
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: fastest hands.

52
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: They say on the.

53
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Pro tour, like, no matter how hard you hit it

54
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: at you go like this, Yeah, he go like this.

55
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: I was like, what the hell? He was insane and

56
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: a great person.

57
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Man.

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: He didn't criticize me once because we lost four of

59
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: our five games, and let's just say it wasn't his fault, right,

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: So there are times when I wasn't even on the

61
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: court and we were playing better. It was crazy because

62
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: I go run chase the ball, my fat ass, This

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: big eighteen wheeler ain't slowing down.

64
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: So once I go that way, it's gonna take me

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: a minute to come back this way. Right. He on

66
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: the court by himself, boar, winning the points and all that.

67
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: So obviously we didn't make the playoffs of you know,

68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: if you go one and four, I don't think you're

69
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. But I got a chance to commentate

70
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: the finals. A lot of guys out there obviously Danny

71
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: wirthfo David Pollack was out there, respect to him. Who

72
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: else did I see? Eric Decker was out there? He

73
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: could play. All these dudes could play way better than me.

74
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: Let me just keep saying that. But it was humbling.

75
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: And then let me know, I got to go in

76
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: my backyard a lot more. I got to invite a

77
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: lot more people over. We got to have more pickleball

78
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: socials and get a better group of friends that could play.

79
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: They out there, Actually they hit me up and I

80
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: always try to like avoid them, but no more, it's

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: time to pill you know, take that band a get

82
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: off dog and play the best because they were lighting

83
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: it up and.

84
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Pick a ball. Old young.

85
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: John Barry was out there. John Barry, his name Rick Barry.

86
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't know who's the oldest of all the Barrys.

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: He's like seventy some years old. Anyway, he's a basketball

88
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: player and he was out there killing it sevent me something.

89
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: He had a long way to go down to get

90
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: the balls in the dinkin right.

91
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, his elevator was faster than mine, but still

92
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: was like, go get the ball. So it was just

93
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: great to see man, respect to Danny work for in

94
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: the foundation everything. All right, let's get into this show

95
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: right now. Let's talk about somebody who's balling out of

96
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: control but doesn't know exactly where he's going to be balling.

97
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: That's Damian Lillard, who expressed his interest to leave Portland

98
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: to go to Miami, and then that got altered into

99
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: maybe going back to Portland or Miami. But it's certainly

100
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: not about going to Golden State. So the headlines are

101
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 1: now that he is not interested in joining the Golden

102
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: State Warriors. Now that's interesting in itself because it makes

103
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: me think of some things that maybe public reaction has

104
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: boxed these basketball players in to think in certain ways.

105
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that life lesson at the end.

106
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: So he expressed his respect for the warriors achievements, said, hey,

107
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: who could sneeze at the dynasty that they've created all that,

108
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: But he doesn't see himself going there, especially after they've

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: won four championships to see what this is going, right,

110
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: So he wanted to go to Miami. Obousek, they got

111
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: the final say upstairs, so that decision is not ultimately

112
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: in Damian Lillard's hands. People forget sometimes, especially in the NBA,

113
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: because they seem like the star players more partners than

114
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: they do in the NFL, right, then they do.

115
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: In other sports. But remember they're still employees.

116
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Highly paid employees, very influential employees, but powerful employees, but

117
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: still employees. So he needs them to sign off on this,

118
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: and the way it's been handled so far, they're a

119
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: little reluctant to doing that. Obviously they want to get

120
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: the best deal as well, but more than.

121
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: That, they don't want to set a president.

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: They don't want this all sudden to set president that

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, our guy, mister Loyal, all of a sudden

124
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: just woke up and said, I got to be out

125
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: of here, and we allowed it. So now the next guy,

126
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: who ain't even gonna be half as good as Damian Lillard,

127
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: think he got it like that, Oh he doesn't. So

128
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: ultimately this decision lies upstairs.

129
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: But Damian Lillard has talked about it.

130
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: Let me get into this, all right, because have we

131
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: boxed Damian Lillard in think about it that he can't

132
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: now choose fully where he desires to play. Do you

133
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: think that's a part of this, because to me, that's problematic.

134
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: If so, now he hasn't said that. Some people are saying,

135
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: look the Golden State Warriors roster is aging. You know,

136
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Steph Curry thirty five, and you got Draymond, you got

137
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: Clay with the one leg but coming back, but still

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: ain't all the way back.

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: So it's just like, why would I want to go there? Right?

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: And you add the cherry on top of they did

141
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: win four championships, so I wouldn't get the proper credit

142
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: or respect I deserve.

143
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: Huh. And it's crazy because there's a parallel.

144
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: He wants to go to Miami and going to Miami

145
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: even though they won.

146
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: A championship of late.

147
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Now, obviously they won the championship with Lebron. Obviously they

148
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: won the championship before Lebron with the way. The thing

149
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: a funny thing about it is how Miami is not

150
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: perceived as being a great team like the Golden State

151
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Warriors are, even though Miami was in the finals and

152
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Golden State wasn't.

153
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: But gohods, State got that dynasty.

154
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: And he's actually going to a better team because he's

155
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: going to the Miami. He were in the finals, and

156
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: some would say the East is easier. So wait a minute,

157
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: Durant got lit up for going to a team that

158
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: won seventy three games, but we're in the finals and lost.

159
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: But we lit him up when he went there and

160
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: they won, and obviously he was the main reason they

161
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: were winning because he was winning the finals MVPs and

162
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: he was the best player on the team, despite Steph

163
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: Curry still being amazing.

164
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: But we lit him up.

165
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: But it seems like Damien is trying to choose that

166
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: route and we're not gonna light him up because when

167
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: he said he wanted to go to Miami, nobody said

168
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: anything about it. Everybody like, go to Miami. If he

169
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: can do, get it with your muscle. If you can

170
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: get it, go get it. But we're looking like already

171
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: can see the reaction. All you gonna go and state

172
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: come on, dog, gonna state one. The Lakers be gonna

173
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: stay last year and the Lakers got swept by Denver.

174
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: So it's just weird, like how this Rubik's cube looks

175
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: in terms of perception not reality. He is literally going

176
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: to a better team right now and we gonna let

177
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: him slide versus going to the Dynasty, but not the

178
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: better team.

179
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: I'll have a problem with either one.

180
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: I have a problem that we as a sports fan

181
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: community picks one over the other. When we all grew

182
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: up the same damn way. All right, everybody free to

183
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: lune shoot all right first to make it captains. Okay, Dick,

184
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: who you got right or you just walked in and

185
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: everybody's all right, those are the two best players, y'all

186
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: captains because we don't want y'all on the same team.

187
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: So split y'all. Now you pick who is he gonna

188
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: pick first, the best player to make what the best team?

189
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: And it was no backla. That's with that.

190
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: It's just crazy, man, you know me. I'm up in

191
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: and there in his locker room just thinking it's kind

192
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: to unlearned that bs man, we penalizing these players for

193
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: going to certain spots because.

194
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: Of perception, not even reality.

195
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering what y'all think about this whole situation.

196
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: What do you think is influencing Damian Lillar's decision? Why

197
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Miami over Golden State or any other team out there,

198
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: Let's just be real, other teams out there.

199
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: Is it just simply you want to go to.

200
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: Miami, great city, dum and also they are a great team,

201
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: they were in the finals, but they're going to give

202
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: up something to get Damian Lillard that's the conversation. And

203
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: where do you think he ultimately opens up? Camp Portland, Miami?

204
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Show him wet s. I made him a little rusty

205
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: cause I ain't even show y'all my book. Y'all know

206
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: how this goes right here. This is the book Never

207
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: shut Up. All I need for you to do is

224
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Trying to make with these kids.

225
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the impact that Dion has

226
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: on the Colorado Buffalos and viewership for all the networks.

227
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: Let's just say he's been a big draw, you know,

228
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: let's start there.

229
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: But they're double time overtime, double overtime win over Colorado

230
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: State set a new record for ESPN, averaging nine point

231
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: three million viewers, fourth most watched regular season game on

232
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: ESPN or ABC in the last six years, and the

233
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: fifth most watched ESPN regular season game ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,

234
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: got dark Deon out there getting it all right, So

235
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: we saw week one, Week two, they also have big

236
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: viewership numbers as well, seven point two and eight point

237
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: seven in those two weeks, and those were on Fox.

238
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: So now they're playing Oregon on ABC an hour. You

239
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: can add all them numbers up. Addruss me, you can

240
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: add all them numbers up and then boom this one.

241
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Because I ain't gonna lie to y'all. When they played TCU,

242
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't like a mandatory appointment viewing.

243
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: But then when I heard they were up, I was like, oh, oh,

244
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, and one.

245
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: Of those same thing when you saw Colorado State game,

246
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, what's going on.

247
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: Right and Nebraska. I ain't gonna lie it. I ain't

248
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: watched Somebraska, so.

249
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn Oregon, and without Travis Hunter's gonna be tough.

250
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tight. But I'm gonna be watching it.

251
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: You know that everybody's watching that now. It's gonna be

252
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: a huge weekend of college football because Ohio State plays

253
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame as well. That's gonna be a big game,

254
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: probably gonna draw even more because of those two big

255
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: fan bases, those school spirits on full display. But why

256
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: is all this happening right now? I ain't gonna be

257
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna draw this out too long. Ain't nobody

258
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: trying to hear viewer viewership numbers all damn day. Let

259
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: me tell you what's happening prime time. Deon Sanders is

260
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: just simply fascinating. Fascinating right, irresistible in terms of your

261
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: desire to just see what he's up to. He was

262
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: like that as a player, and he's like that as

263
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: a coach. Let me explain why. Because his behavior, his actions,

264
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: and the results all challenge us.

265
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: In the ways that we do things.

266
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: Because the way he does things is deemed unconventional right,

267
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: just a little different. It challenges who we are at

268
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: the core our cultural values as we've been sold.

269
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: And told over the years. I mean, give it to you.

270
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: It forces you to challenge your traditional values of how

271
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: you go out there and approach your task because of

272
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: the way that Dion does it, which is different.

273
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: You know, he gets drafted.

274
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: We all seen everybody get drafted, right, I got drafted.

275
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: Y'all saw that it was on CNN.

276
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: I got drafted, yay, or or whatever it may be,

277
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: whatever you've seen, or everybody doing some electric slide, whatever

278
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: you have seen to in the homeland suits, whatever you've done.

279
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: Seen how many times y'all haven't seen somebody get drafted

280
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: with nine hundred and thirty six gold chains on curl,

281
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: straight dripping and just looking like what and maybe laugh

282
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: and cough. Dion did it like that. And usually when

283
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: you see that, you think that guy is a character.

284
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: And when you see him as a character, admitted your

285
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: question how much you're gonna respect them because you want

286
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: to see the results, because you're like most people that

287
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: have that much sizzle don't have that much substance, just

288
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: the way we've been taught.

289
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: And then you watched Dian on the field.

290
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: Off the field, you're like, oh he talking it and

291
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: walking it?

292
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: What And that's why he's fascinating.

293
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: So now we're all being challenged the way we go

294
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: up the mountain, and are you going up the mountain

295
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: authentically like you really desire to do it, or are

296
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: you doing it in a safe, socialized, conditioned manner just

297
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: to be measured because you're scared of the results and

298
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: it's risky and you know what if I fail and

299
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: dion I swear, he makes everyone who is connected to

300
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: him realize, Man, do it your way.

301
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody gonna break you because they ain't make you.

302
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: Right his famous quote that everybody has heard before, but uh,

303
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: it really resonates when you hear from him. So usually

304
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: people would ad smoke and mirror kind of guys. Right,

305
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: the sizzle displays aren't victorious consistently or they don't win consistently.

306
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: Right Prime does on the field.

307
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: Off the field, he does his sizzle and substance combination

308
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: is the thing that's taking all the excuses off the

309
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: board for everyone involved.

310
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: That's what he does.

311
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: That's why he's fascinating, That's why we all feel captivated

312
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: to watch him.

313
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: I know I do.

314
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm a dog and I'm me and I'm like, they

315
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: gotta be more to me. Then I kinda get more

316
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: of this out, like go get it. That dude is

317
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: doing it. He's like, look what you mean. I'm gonna

318
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: win and it's all good. And even if I don't win,

319
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm still a winner, you know what I'm saying. And

320
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: that deep messaging is starting to resonate with all and

321
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: it's always been on display, but now he's transformed it

322
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: and translated it to a different way. From being the

323
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: play that had all that energy and bottled it up

324
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: and showed the world to now I can take this

325
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: message and through osmosis transferred to all these men that

326
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm leading young men inspired, not just them us. We

327
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: are watching them, everybody just checking in and it's love.

328
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: And there's some people out there who love to hate them.

329
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I know, I see Whitlocking and some other guys like that.

330
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: But guess what that's still bringing you in because now

331
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: you're realizing your force. Your criticism, can't condemn them, can't

332
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: undermine them.

333
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: And that's beautiful too, Floyd Mayweather style, right.

334
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: So it's just something special about the guy who talks,

335
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: walks and just says, hey, I still want I did

336
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: it my way, and I think we're all starting to

337
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: just jump on board. I mean maybe not now, we

338
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: already did, but the point is it's amazing to watch.

339
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: And Dion Sanders is the guy that is the most

340
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: fascinating right now in our sports culture. Salute to your

341
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: damn salute brother. All right, so now let's get to

342
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: the real They beat now Oregon this weekend. Hell no,

343
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: I can't lie. I want to say, hell no, just

344
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: off of some reputation. This is the stuff that people

345
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: do on air, and I would have done it on

346
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: air too, But with y'all, I'm being real.

347
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: I ain't seen Oregon play. I've seen them highlights.

348
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: All I see is the same old thing, green and

349
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: yellow running fast.

350
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: They're three on both sides of the ball. Oh they're

351
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: a story program. Now you know.

352
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: They're deeper. Deane brought in what fifty some new players.

353
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: They look deep too. Football always comes down to this, now,

354
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: how good you are, how well you play? So we'll

355
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: see how well they play. But how far can this

356
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: Colorado love go? You think it stops right now in

357
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: terms of the wins. But still I think the dynamic.

358
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: The phenomenon still goes because they play us see the

359
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: we gather the hell going on? Where do we see

360
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: this all going? So just beat it up in the

361
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: comments and have some fun with it. And it's funny

362
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: because Dion's like, Yo, what I'm building. It ain't going nowhere,

363
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: including my sons, they ain't going nowhere.

364
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,240

00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,040

381
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: Smith and Torretdoens.

382
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, since the subject alert, Since then the subject alert,

383
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: since to the subject alert? Why because these guys are

384
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: really taking this to heart as they should. Man, be

385
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: invested in your words, be invested in your craft. So

386
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm invested in mind. So I'm going to take my

387
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: time and do this methodically, all right. So first let's

388
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: just get the science out the way. ESPN stephen A.

389
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: Smith and NFL Hall of Famer TiO, who should have

390
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: been the first ballot, still engaged in the heated social

391
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: media battle feud, and it's on YouTube as well, on

392
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: x et cetera.

393
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: They've been going at it. All stem from.

394
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: That twenty nineteen incident when Owens claimed that Max Killerman

395
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: was blacker or seemed blacker than him.

396
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: We all seen the clip, all right.

397
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: We they were talking about Colin Kaepernick, and he was like, man,

398
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: Max seene blacker.

399
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: Than you, laughing through it. But stephen A didn't find

400
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: any of that funny.

401
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So Owens last weekend reference to Cliff quote tweeted

402
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: it facts bunch of exclamation points, and Stephen A.

403
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: Smith responded quickly. Stephen A.

404
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: Smith has said since that he maybe maybe I don't

405
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: know yes or no, but basically he didn't feel that

406
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: he should have responded so fast or the way he did,

407
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: but he cast him sorry, pathetic ass and etc. And said,

408
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: don't make me go in and expose you. So that's

409
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: what Stephen A. Smith's response was. I think it's on

410
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: me on this show doing these clips not to always

411
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: bog you down with every single word and what they do,

412
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to give you deeper intelligence just based

413
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: on my experience and the fact that I was privy

414
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: to being behind the veil, but more than that, also

415
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: give you an overview because I know the industry so

416
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: well and these individuals, so you can always research these things. Man,

417
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: I hate to be that guy, but these clips will

418
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: be fifty minutes long.

419
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: If I did all of that. So then Stephen A.

420
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: Smith responded as well, said their relationship got bad when

421
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: Owens attempted to.

422
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 2: Sue him over a hit from that.

423
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: Kellerment, a lawsuit that went nowhere and was deemed laughable.

424
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so the science is out the way.

425
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna start getting into my opinion and how

426
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: all this thing went down.

427
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: Here are my thoughts on steven A versus too.

428
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: All right, you gotta start with me, right because every

429
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: conversation that is being had about this is being laced

430
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: with bias. My bias is not towards Teo or stephen A.

431
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: Smith.

432
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: My bias is towards this the industry. One of the

433
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: reasons why I'm in this locker room right now and

434
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: not on some glossy desk is because I didn't like

435
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: how the industry was rewarding reporters, analysts, hosts, journalists.

436
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: Wherever you want to call, whatever you want to call.

437
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: I wasn't loving how the industry was rewarding them to

438
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: eat their own and their own are the actual athletes,

439
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: the actual sports, right.

440
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: I didn't like the ethics of it, so that was

441
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: part of it.

442
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Now I'm not holier than now, and I'm sure I

443
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: stepped in it as well, But a couple of things

444
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: from that, I was like, is there a lane where

445
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to come at cast like that and

446
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: still get it going and still make your bread, still

447
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: get your points across, and still be in the know

448
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and still be popular and still get paid. Like it

449
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: gotta be right, because nobody grew up hate non athletes.

450
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you always saluted an athlete, wanting to

451
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: be him if you weren't him already, right, So just

452
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: thought it was weird, and I knew that that was

453
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: a culture because culture is what's rewarded, and because the

454
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: people getting rewarded are the ones who have more shot

455
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: jock than anybody. I was like, one, it ain't gonna

456
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: be me cause I ain't built that way, whether it's

457
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: because I'm an athlete or not, or just because that's

458
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: how I'm raised. I'm like, I ain't gonna beat that

459
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: dude up and then say how much y'am paying for it.

460
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna do that, so I knew.

461
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: I plateaued. I just knew that, and now was a

462
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: high as plateau. Trust me, don't feel sorry for me.

463
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: It was a high, and plateau I was like, I

464
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: ain't gonna never catch these dudes, and I'm a winner,

465
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: so I gotta go where I could go. I got

466
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: to talk to my people, because that's my best gift,

467
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: just talking it out, discussing, not debating, all right, So Now,

468
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: this is not about Stephen A. Or t O this

469
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: clip that I'm doing right now, not at its core.

470
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: Follow me.

471
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: This is not an attack or support take. I'm not

472
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: picking a side. You may think I am, but I'm not.

473
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: This is much deeper. This is about me always trying

474
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: to discern, always trying to distinguish the truth from the lies.

475
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: Simple as that. So let me give you a while.

476
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: He is if you have heard this one before, I

477
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: love this one. The truth is simple and lies are complex.

478
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: This story is complex because it's full of lies. All right,

479
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: let's get into it, yl take it five minutes, stammen.

480
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: All right, this is all based on purposeful deception, largely

481
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: by Stephen A.

482
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: Smith, if not entirely.

483
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Now, why don't say entirely, because I don't know the

484
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: whole story, but I can tell you everything I know.

485
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: I will right now. Let's go through this quote first.

486
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: Let me jump around and get to this quote, because

487
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: this quote really sets it all up.

488
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: Quote.

489
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: We stopped talking because after you saw that hit from

490
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman, Terrell always tried to sue me. Needless to say,

491
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: it was laughable. It never went anywhere. He wasn't getting

492
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: a damn dime which he was hoping to get. That's

493
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: why I was pissed off Saturday. Why would he get

494
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: lawyers involved looking for money? I wonder why y'all speculate

495
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: about that. Ooh, that was grinding. But the point is

496
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: he tried to sue me.

497
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith I quote.

498
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: One thing that wasn't addressed in that quote is why

499
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: he tried to sue you. Okay, so let me just

500
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: clean this up because it's getting lost. He tried to

501
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: sue you because this all started when you published Too's

502
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: private text messages, and you knew that you were wrong

503
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: in doing that, but now you're mad that he sued

504
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: you or tried to sue you, and twisted the story

505
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: to make people think he's only doing this because he's

506
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: hard for money or he needs attention. No, actually, Too

507
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: was minding his business, wanted to go on your show

508
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: because he's a Hall of Famer.

509
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: He's too, wanted to talk Happenick did it.

510
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Said that maxis blacker than you, which I've already said

511
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: will continue to say is wrong by Too.

512
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: But we know what he was trying to say as well.

513
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: And it was tongue in cheek and there were many

514
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: reactions that could have been had in that moment, but

515
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: we know the one that was taken.

516
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: So all of this.

517
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: Twisting, purposeful manipulation and deception of what really happened to

518
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: me what jay Z.

519
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: Said, it's just lame, man. This is lame. Not stephen

520
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: A is lame.

521
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: Stephen A is doing something lame and he knows it.

522
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: He knows damn well he was in the wrong. And

523
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: let me give it to you like this as I

524
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: break this thing down. He tried to sue me. The

525
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: first response, as he always loves to talk about journalists,

526
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: it should be why. And I want to hear that

527
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: explanation as loud and long as I hear that he

528
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: tried to sue you. Okay, because what I'm seeing happening

529
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: right now is stephen A is telling a lie or

530
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: not the.

531
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: Full truth, whatever you want to call it.

532
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: He's telling a lie and he's saying it the loudest

533
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: and he's saying it the longest. So therefore he and

534
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: some others are thinking that it is truth.

535
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: It's not truth. This all started because of you doing

536
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: something that.

537
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: Violated too, and lawyers came to too, saying, hey man,

538
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: that's in violation.

539
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: What would you like to do about that?

540
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: Now? I'm gonna LETEO tell his full story because I

541
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: don't know the full story, but I do know this

542
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: part of it.

543
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: And even Stephen A. Smith he hadn't said this yet.

544
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: He might have to say it now after I put

545
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: this out there, or someone else puts it out there,

546
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: or t O tells it. Whatever, admit it that he

547
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: did that and that was wrong to publish those text messages.

548
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: Here's the funny thing is.

549
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: He used as a reason, as an excuse, that he

550
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: thought that the text message.

551
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: Was a tweet, whoa night?

552
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, open up y'all texts, all right,

553
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: look at it, open up y'all ex or Twitter, look

554
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: at Have you ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever thought

555
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: those two were the same.

556
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: Hell no, so one. I'm like, that is foul to even.

557
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: Act like that's the reason, when we know the real

558
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: reason is you were mad because to touched the third rail.

559
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: In Steven A. Smith's core. He questioned your.

560
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Blackness, and Stephen that you ain't the first one who

561
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: has a platform who has gone counterculture in some conversation,

562
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: who has been called to sellout.

563
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: Rajia hann If you've been in that position before.

564
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: And at the same time, don't have to have this

565
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: type of reaction. You put those messages. You put that

566
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 1: message out because he triggered you. He got you and

567
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: hit dog holler.

568
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: It's okay, God, we know, we see and that's what happened.

569
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 2: So now, Stephen A. Smith, instead of just saying I

570
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: was wrong putting out the message. You know what he says.

571
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: In my whole entire career, I've never ever put off

572
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: the record conversation out there, but you did, and then

573
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: to clean it up just and so you can reconcile

574
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: the fact that you've never done this even though you

575
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: just did it.

576
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: You say, I thought it was a tweet. You can't

577
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: make this out, man, you can't make this out.

578
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 1: Okay, there are other things to this, So let me

579
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: just kind of like give you some other layers. He

580
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: called too desperate and trifling. But it isn't showing somebody's

581
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: private text message and trying to throw yourself a life

582
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: raft and doing it. Isn't that desperate trifling?

583
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: Right?

584
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: Isn't it a little desperate of trifling to like get

585
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: a pile of papers and say these papers tell me

586
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: everything about you? Too, like you showing a foul of

587
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: to that we don't even know what it's saying on

588
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: the foul, but who cares?

589
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: And even if it's true, what are you the fans like? Woo?

590
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: And once again I'm gonna reiterate, this is not against

591
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: stephen A.

592
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: Smith y'all cauld say it is. This is about the

593
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: truth and the truth I'll set you free, and the

594
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: truth is who I ride with. All my boys know this.

595
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I have said bad things about dudes I love. I've

596
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: said bad things about every single person I've worked with before.

597
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: Ask them. I don't know why, because sometime they weren't

598
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: telling the truth.

599
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: To simples that I am not perfect. Call me out

600
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: when you want to call me out. But boy, I

601
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: got a heavy tendency to go with the truth, right

602
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on the goal line, I run the ball.

603
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: Were talking. I'm telling the truth. So here we go, insummation.

604
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: You're trying to say you're mad he tried to sue

605
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: you because he's broke, but you even ad.

606
00:30:59,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: Minute that you knew that.

607
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: But you were wrong privately, and more so, you only

608
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: violated aired his and your private texts just to make

609
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: him look bad and you look good. Not a lot

610
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: of people are privileged to catch that. Raise your hand

611
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: if you are, I am. We now all see to

612
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: switch your route now.

613
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: Stephen A.

614
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: Smith wants us to believe everything he's saying, even though

615
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: his story continues to weave, just like this story on

616
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman continued to weave. I've known this story. I've

617
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: witnessed how that went down for years. I didn't cap

618
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: for Max.

619
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: I cap for the truth, y'all, and the truth was,

620
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: did the dude dirty?

621
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: It's okay, Max is fine. He gonna be all right.

622
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: You gonna be alright because you are all right right,

623
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: But we can't act like t O didn't trigger you

624
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: because you've heard you were sellout. I've heard I'm gonna

625
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: sell out. Welcome to the part. If you say something

626
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: against your culture, everybody is a sell out, no matter

627
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: what your race and ethnicity is.

628
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: Come on, man, this ain't new. Wherever the crowd goes.

629
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: If you say I'm gonna turn this other way, everybody

630
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: gonna be on your head. Right, we know that.

631
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: But at the same time, that doesn't mean you get

632
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: to drag others just because they are trying to drag you.

633
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: Stand strong. If you said it, mean it, you know.

634
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: If that's your stance, stand in your stance. So I

635
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: didn't like that part. I can continue to keep.

636
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: Going on this.

637
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: But the only other thing I think that's profound, just

638
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: to give you some understanding, is kind of like looking

639
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: at the layers of it. I want stephen A to

640
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: just keep it real, brother, you know, keep it real,

641
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: so we all could go back to just being entertained

642
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: by your greatness, man, Like I'm entertained by steven A,

643
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: as simple as that. Okay, And even if he's mad

644
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: at this or think I'm coming at him, Dan, stop

645
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: you know damn where I ain't spoke one lie yet

646
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: instead of stopping, you're making us all stop down and

647
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: being entertained by your greatness and number one show and

648
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: big platform because everyone's liedar is going off. Yeah, you're

649
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: a lidar, like when you ever just be talking about

650
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: your light ark what that don't make sense?

651
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: Don't add up.

652
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 3: That's why he keeps trying to clean up Max because

653
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: the light rs beat beat me, don't make sense, don't

654
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: make sense, and the lid r and is t oh

655
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 3: meet me, hit dogs, holler, Man, I ain't mad at it,

656
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: so what I want to see is one not for

657
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: them to squash this.

658
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe in that all the time. Talk it

659
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: out and talk it out of public. Shoe y'all started

660
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: this in public, finishing in public. Don't do that. I'm

661
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: not tripping on any of that. All I say is,

662
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: don't let it go overboard and overboard his hands overboard

663
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: is trying to get him in trouble hits. Just talk, man,

664
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: the truth gonna win. We can see we ain't stupid.

665
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: That's all I want to see in this situation. Now

666
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: for y'all to beat up in the conversation and the comments,

667
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this, just your overall thoughts. And do

668
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: you think that Stephen A, since he has that platform

669
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: and too has his platform, should be arguing like this

670
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: in public?

671
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: Ord you want them people like man just call him

672
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 2: up and just do. But it's weird to me. I

673
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: can't agree with that because they go at these.

674
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Athletes that they don't want to. They don't want to

675
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call him. They just go

676
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: in on them. And it's not always on performance to

677
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: stop backing like it is. So if you're gonna do that, hey,

678
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: what's up? Like I told you guys. I got back

679
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: into the game in this dimension, in this form, this

680
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: version of media, because I wanted to talk directly with you,

681
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: not to you. I got into it this way because

682
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to go deeper on subjects. I don't want

683
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: to just talk about the Jets gonna win by two

684
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: or not. I want to do that, but I want

685
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: to do a lot more. I don't want borders on

686
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. So I'm going to cover sports

687
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: just like stephen A cover sports. But I'm also gonna

688
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: cover those who cover sports. And that's the new wrinkle

689
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: in today's media. I hope that ready, because if you're lying,

690
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: might start crying.

691
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: This is love, man.

692
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see what happens, how they

693
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: continue this or they just dead this. But all the

694
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: reactions that could have been. You could have laughed this off,

695
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: You could have dead it at the moment.

696
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: You could have I don't know.

697
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: You could have just been like, yo, that was wrong

698
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: and foul. We ain't cool. And I will never speak

699
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: to you again. I'll never speak on this again. But

700
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: this just keeps scratching at the sky for a reason.

701
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: It's because the truth has not been fully let out.

702
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: Hopefully this gives you.

703
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: Clarity and understanding on it and then you take it

704
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: where you got you just loving y'all be cause y'all

705
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: love this and what we're doing.

706
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 2: Look at that back back back back, back back back.

707
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Chris Berman, love right there, Project Transition dot Org go there,

Speaker 2: part of the community, part of the team. Hell man.

Speaker 2: You can also leave a.

712
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: Donation, donation, donation I thought I was a track me stupid.

00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: You can leave a donation there, or you can leave

714
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: a recurring donation to always be a part of the family.

715
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: Help these kids, man develop their.

716
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: Inner power so they could amplify for the world to see,

717
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: to unlock their true potential.

718
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into this.

719
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: When Colin Coward's blazing five picks, we know that segment,

720
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: regular segment on the show during the NFL season. Well,

721
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: Colin Coward right now and week one, win oh and five,

722
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: Week two, O four and one. I'm not picking on

723
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: Collin because I'm gonna tell yall why he's going.

724
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: Oh was that oh four oh nine and one? Hey,

725
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: all right, let's start off here.

726
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: Cowards philosophy has been that commentators don't necessarily need to

727
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: be accurate as long as they're interesting, right, And his

728
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: current streak is certainly generating intrigue around this week three selection,

729
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: and we're all kind of like picking up on.

730
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: If he were nailing them, we'd be like dog Colin Kilden.

731
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: And if he's doing what he's doing right now, oh

732
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: nine and one, we're like, damn, we got to see

733
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: next week if he's gonna get a win.

734
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 2: Right, So either way you win, he wins at least,

735
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: and we're interested in it.

736
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why these picks probably are not

737
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: going well, and let me just tell you why most

738
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: of them don't. And let me just tell you the

739
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: process of how they even get our picks. It's a

740
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: very low, very low priority in terms of prep In

741
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: terms of preparation, right, you're doing a show, you three

742
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: hours show, the blazing five picks is at the bottom

743
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: of the menu. In terms of what we're talking about. Right,

744
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: you're still doing your homework, whatever it may be. But

745
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: let me just tell you for real, from my perspective,

746
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: I've seen it where it's almost like at times filling

747
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: out a multiple choice tests when you don't know any

748
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: of the information. You don't know any of the damn

749
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: answers you ever been there. And the worst is when

750
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: it says all the above, you're like, oh, I don't

751
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: know any of the above, let alone all the above.

752
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: So that's why it goes like this. It's just a

753
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: low priority. This is not a shot of calm. This

754
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: is just opportunity to tell y'all how it goes. You know,

755
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: I've seen it before where they're like, all, we got

756
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: to pick them segment, Come on, guys, come on, turn

757
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: in your second, and then it's literally the home teams

758
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: and the wait teams and cast me included me first

759
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 1: included I ain't gonna put nobody out there bad.

760
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 2: I go like this Jets, Okay, I got Broncos. Oh no,

761
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna win now.

762
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: No.

763
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: No, They're like, y'all that's it, man.

764
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: So it's funny how much weight y'all think the sports

765
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: commentators should put on these picks, and how much weight

766
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: do y'all put on the commentator's picks, Like are y'all.

767
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: Really going uh? To the app? Are y'all going to Vegas?

768
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: Like? Yo, you're a college sess son, My whole not

769
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: because wherever is doing that, they go ninety one right now, right,

770
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: So it's just funny. And do you think there's real

771
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: pressure for us to do it? Do you think we

772
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: need to step it up? I'll tell you the reason.

773
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm also bringing this segment up because I have a

774
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: sponsor that is in this lane and we're gonna start

775
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: having some fun with it.

776
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: And I promise I'm a prep for it.

777
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: But more than that, we're gonna have some fun engaging

778
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: with it all the way.

779
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: All right, now, I'm gonna change my background. I like

780
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: doing it this way.

781
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: Shoot, let's go funk up some comments, fuck up some

782
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: commis shit, get out my emails, y'all. I know y'all

783
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: knows he answers. All right, here we go, let's talk

784
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: about that. All right, here we go. Let me block it.

785
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: Dionna is in the ideal situation for him. Now, he's

786
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,959
Speaker 1: building something special there as he did in Jackson State.

787
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 2: All right, mister Marty Wearing that was deep. All right.

788
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: If I'm dion I'm staying. If he stays, he could

789
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: be governor of Colorado. I think you want to do that.

790
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Senator or a congressman for Colorado. He could literally build

791
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: a family dynasty legacy in that state, like a Bush

792
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: family when they left Connecticut.

793
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: Oh interesting for Texas.

794
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: It's the same reason why we people stay in some

795
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: of the poorest states or provinces. The billionaire McCain family

796
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: of the French Fried Frame still live in New Bruns.

797
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: With Canada, you want to be a just just one

798
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: of many prints or one of a kN king good point.

799
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

800
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: The biggest mistakes Vince Carter and Kawhi Leonard ever made

801
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: was leaving the Toronto Raptors. There could have been guys

802
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: in Canada the entire country, both during their playing career

803
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: and long after, but decided to leave now and you

804
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: have to think they regret it. Kawhi was offered free

805
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: penthouses and Kawhi and Dines Kawhi eats free.

806
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: Good point. You must be from Canada for real. You

807
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: broke all that Canada stuff down. All right, here we go.

808
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: I think the doubleheader games are our ways the NFL

809
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: is trying to best to maximize his profits, because having

810
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: as many national televised games is pretty.

811
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: Good way to go about it, all right.

812
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: Talking about Deshaun Watson, Marcella she broke it down precisely.

813
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: DeShawn is definitely now confused. He would never be the

814
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: old DeShawn. I don't know about never, y'all. His reputation

815
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: has been tarnished forever.

816
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 2: That is true.

817
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: I wish him well, but this is definitely want to

818
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: be a long road. At least he got the bag

819
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: all facts. I don't accept the never part. You could

820
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: turn it around, but you gotta admit it. You gotta

821
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: go get it. You gotta go in there man, all right,

822
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, I watched the joke Diisman injury live.

823
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen eighty five.

824
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: That was gruesome, and they replayed it several times on

825
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football that night and throughout the week on

826
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: the news. You were cringe every time you saw it.

827
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad they didn't replay it last night. I want

828
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: to see the replay. If you don't want to watch it,

829
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: do this.

830
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 2: It's done. Oh no, I get it.

831
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no right or wrong, but it's like

832
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: part of the games football. I'm not a fan of

833
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: either team, but they should replay so you can see

834
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: that the defenders should be fined and may be suspended

835
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: for launching himself towards the knee and not trying to

836
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: hit the mid body.

837
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's just.

838
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: It gives clarity, Like it gives me as a player,

839
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: as a participant, like clarity of like try to avoid that,

840
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: you know, just supple. All right, here we go, death

841
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: threats and the death at the Patriots game. It's terrible

842
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: the man died, but freak accidents happened. Men punch each

843
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: other sometimes the time it results in death is so

844
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: rare it's statistically insignificant. I wouldn't make this a comment

845
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: on society. It's interesting you say that, because consequences, you know,

846
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: they matter. Man, The results matter. Like if I hit

847
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: you and you laugh at it, versus I hit you

848
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: you die from it. I think I'm gonna have a

849
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: different course of action going forward, right, I think I'm

850
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna have different recourse, different consequences. Sorry, just the way

851
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: the game goes, all right, y'all know how we finish

852
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: every show.

853
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: We finish with a Wilism. Yeah. I don't have Coach's

854
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 2: voice right now, but we got practice tonight.

855
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: You can have anything you want if you stop believing

856
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: you can't have it. You can have anything you want

857
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: if you stop believing you can't have it. Well, if

858
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: that ain't the crux of all issues faith belief, that's it,

859
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: because it's gonna keep you going, it's gonna keep you

860
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: getting to it and getting through. I'm challenged with this

861
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: one so many times where I'm like, and it's weird

862
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: because it's not in your face. It's like the second

863
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: line of defense. It's always like in the back end

864
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: of the thought, do you really believe you can do it?

865
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Because you have great ideas, you got great stuff on paper,

866
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: you know a great team of people. You can make

867
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: this work. And then challenges are presented because that's how

868
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: the game goes. Are you fighting through them? And then

869
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: your level of fight is really determined how much you

870
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: believe that you deserve this, and do you stop believing

871
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: you can't do it?

872
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 2: Man, just to get to it?

873
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Oh man, I mean everything I'll ever accomplish

874
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: has gone through this exact crossroad of I can go

875
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: to the NFL. I better stop thinking I can't go

876
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: to the NFL. But then you're like, but don't put

877
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: all your eggs in the basket. But then you're like, oh,

878
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: don't you go out there and start heading your bets.

879
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: It's crazy, right, But that's the dynamic. That's the God

880
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: and the devil, right, that's the light in the darkness.

881
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: That's the way this world is balanced. And you got

882
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: to make sure that you rigid in your favor. And

883
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: the only way you're riggad is taking that belief system

884
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: and putting it in favor of what you're trying to get.

885
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: If you don't, it will work against you and you

886
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: will believe you can't have it, so you can have anything, anything,

887
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: for real, because then you'll be the person like, I don't.

888
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 2: Know why they got all that and they doing all that. Man,

889
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 2: I'm better than them, or I could do that.

890
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: One thing you have not quantified, and it's impossible to

891
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: really quantify. You only quantify it by results. You don't

892
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: quantify it by emotional attributes. But you don't know how

893
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: much they believe in themselves or how much they believe

894
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: they can do that.

895
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: You don't. You just see the results of it. You

896
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: just see the work ethic.

897
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: You see that, but you don't know because some people

898
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: really work hard, don't belie They just like the only

899
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: way I know how you ever seen a robot that

900
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: worked really hard?

901
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: Nothing on the inside.

902
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: Nothing thinking about right, robotic people like just going going,

903
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing it, I'm doing I'm doing.

904
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: Do you believe you can do it? Huh?

905
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: So remember this, no matter what the goal is, what

906
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: you want to accomplish, you can have anything, anything you

907
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: want if you stop believing you can't have it.

908
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,520
