Speaker 4: I just watched that new Captain America movie on Disney

Speaker 3: Harrison Ford well into his eighties.

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Like, that's Indiana Jones to me. It

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: will always be Indiana Jones to me. Man, but you know, great, great,

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 4: great NBA Playoffs. You and I both agree. I've loved

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: the way this thing is played out. I love the

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 4: action they've allowed it. There hasn't been many storylines of

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: finicky calls, like the referees kind of stayed out of

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: the way for the most part, which I appreciate. I

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: don't mind the scheduling because they've already set when the

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: Finals starts. That to me, that's an issue. They already

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: have a pre date when the final. We all knew

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: the Finals were starting Thursday at the beginning of the year.

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: So I think the reason why you do skip Friday

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: and Saturday because you don't want a finals game on

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: a Saturday. In June. Graduations up, the ain't prom I

59
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: I just sent my son in law off to prom

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: last night. You know, you show up and you help them,

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: you know, put a suit on and get the lint

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: off and fix his pocket square. And it's tied to that.

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: For my god so last night, who just got into

64
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: Jackson State to play football, by the way, shout out

65
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 4: to my man Jeric. But you know it's I'm okay

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: with it because then Sunday comes, right, and that's the

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: relaxing day, Like I'm upset there's no NBA game on tonight.

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: There's really nothing on tonight and Sundays the family relaxing day.

69
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: So at about four or five o'clock in my house,

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: everything goes on what I call relax dad mode. Get

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: tablets into the kids' hands, get a little little drinking

72
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: drink for dad going, and I'm on the sofa because

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: Monday's coming in. Kids gotta go back to school and

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: you gotta go back to work. So I'm upset there's

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: not a game tonight. So next Sunday, though, we'll be

76
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: sitting in this same spot, we'll be reviewing Game two.

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: We won't have to watch it here at the studio.

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: We'll be home. We'll be relaxed watching, So I'm not

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: mad at I think the mistake is pre determining the

80
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: day that the final starts, because you know you're not

81
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: gonna run Game two back to back on a third Friday,

82
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: and no one's gonna watch the Raiders will be in

83
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: on a Saturday night in the first week of June.

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: There's just too much going on, just social wise and

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: family wise, for any dad or big a time NBA

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: fan to sit down on a Saturday night and watch

87
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: the finals game.

88
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: All Right, before we get into the NBA Finals, let's

89
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: talk about the teams that have been eliminated in the

90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: conference finals. And I want to start with the Timberwolves,

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: who again for the second consecutive year, lost and outside

92
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: of that forty two blowout win, they were annihilated by

93
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: OKC OKC margin of victory, who is the greatest I

94
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: believe in conference finals history, even with that forty two

95
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: point loss. But I want to talk about ant because

96
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: a year ago at this time, there was serious conversation

97
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: that the next Michael Jordan had finally arrived, Like Anthony

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: Edwards is that guy? He is going to be Michael Jordan.

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 2: And I'm biggest names in our industry. We're talking about

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: this like a Steven A. Will bought. All these people

101
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: were talking about when you look at Anthony Edwards and.

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: We would all agree.

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: I think that the closest thing we've ever saw to

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: Jordan was Kobe. You know, there's you know, but I mean,

105
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: you know, Kobe was you know, he pattered himself consciously

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: after what Michael Jordan did. But a lot of people

107
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: are starting to put Anthony Edwards in that conversation that

108
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: this could be that guy. And if you look at

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: his regular season, you know his numbers are going up

110
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: every year.

111
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 3: He's scoring average one up again this year.

112
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: But I'm watching him in these playoffs and what he

113
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: lacks is that consistency. And so I asked this question yesterday.

114
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you right now. And again there's

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: an age difference of about three years. But if you

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: were to start a franchise two day and you had

117
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: to pick between one of these two players as your centerpiece,

118
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: would you take Anthony Edwards or would you take shay Gilgess, Alexander.

119
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: M I'll throw a third name in there in a second,

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: I'll answer your question. I got you. Yeah, I'll answer

121
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: your questions first. I see you're asking on the day

122
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: where shay Is won MVP and they won sixty seven

123
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 4: sixty eight games this year something like that, almost close

124
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: to the you know, to seventy games.

125
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: Boy, you also saw them head to head in this exactly,

126
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: so them had to head.

127
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: But the Oklahoma City is a much better team. They were.

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: They were number one in the top eight of eight

129
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: of the top ten defensive like main categories. Oklahoma City

130
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: thunder went number one.

131
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: Okay, but again I'm looking for a centerpiece. Very simple question.

132
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: You're you got to start a franchise right now. I'm

133
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: giving you two choices as your centerpiece, thea versus Ann

134
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: and your taking.

135
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: The easy answer for me is sga. Okay, but I God,

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: I don't want to do that. I told you something,

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 4: but it's just it's just facts. Sometime you just got

138
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: to talk fact on the sports talk radio. I sat

139
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 4: here last year and even in the year before that,

140
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: where the number one thing about Ant that I didn't

141
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: like was I thought he was unorganic. I thought he

142
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: was trying to create this image and this superstar and

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: this character and this person like you. You like personality.

144
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: You want a guy that Duncan's boring, Tatum's boyd. I

145
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: get the narrative. I love that about it, by the way,

146
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: but exactly a lot of people do. And I think

147
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: that's what started to talk. But I was one guy

148
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: that said, look, I see all the ability, but the

149
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: one thing I cannot do is I just can't disrespect

150
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: what's come before this time. I just won't be that guy.

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: You and I think Wilts the most dominated ever. Right, Yes,

152
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: how many guys under forty are gonna say that, Well,

153
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: they don't know exactly. They don't know, so they're not

154
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: giving that.

155
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: Luck numbers And you're like, these aren't real.

156
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: No, yeah, you have fifty fifty nineteen sixty two. That's real.

157
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: Fifty points twenty five boards a game. Guys, I don't

158
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: care who you're playing against. Okay, there's high schoolers that

159
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: can't do that playing against lower competition. But I always

160
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: had this one question, and I proposed it to you

161
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: last week. I made it like an opinion. I thought,

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: Ann Edwards can either be a Dwayne Waye type guy

163
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: or Brandon Roy. He's gonna be like one of those

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 4: two types of players were Brandon Roy had all the ability.

165
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: Brandon Roy had an outside shot, penetration.

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: Injuries killed Dunkle.

167
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: Injuries killed him. But even when he was healthy, he

168
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: was a math time player. He was a big time player.

169
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: He could never really take his team. He wasn't.

170
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's that's what I'm saying.

171
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: In other words, really where this is going with aunt

172
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: Fair again, once you put that name into the conversation,

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: which is ridiculous. The only person that was like Jordan

174
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: was Jordan there's only one Michael Jordan exactly, so, but

175
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: have we raised the.

176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: Bar too high?

177
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: Is he a franchise guy that can literally carry a

178
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: team to an NBA shot.

179
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: Jerry last year and towards the end of the year

180
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 4: before last was no. I an emphatic no, and of

181
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: course people went crazy, VJ. You're hating it. No, I've

182
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: just I've seen Aunt Edwards before, meaning I've seen this

183
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: type of ability before. It's like John Moran. I like

184
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: Jea Moran, but you know what, I've seen explosive, high

185
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: scoring point guards. His name was Derek Rose, his name

186
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 4: was Penning Hardaway, his name was Russell Westbrook, Like I've

187
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 4: seen Jah before, Like, you can't tell me this is

188
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: something we've never seen.

189
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 3: Who was more explosive than Tracy mcgreen, right.

190
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 4: Like I've seen guards that can are you kidding me?

191
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: And he can't and Jah can't get his team to

192
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: the young at all. Yeah, exactly, Like, so I try

193
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: to judge when I'm talking about players like that. And

194
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: then also to another thing that I always spoke on

195
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 4: was when they traded Cat, I thought it was premature

196
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: to hand the franchise to Anthony Edwards without adding another

197
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: like veteran, and you added go Bear and traded all

198
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: those picks for Gobert. But Go Bear is not a

199
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: guy you're gonna you're gonna follow. He's not a leader.

200
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: He's not a guy you're gonna follow. Then he got

201
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: Julius Random. But Julius Round is not a VET. That's

202
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: not a VT. I'm talking they needed an a VET.

203
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 4: Like I tell you this event.

204
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: Now he's almost what eight years on leak.

205
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: I need nine to ten for you to be a

206
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 4: legitimate and Julius is just starting to turn out. He's

207
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: had a lot of injury issues. The Lakers traded him

208
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: and the Knicks traded him. Right, So if you were

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: that guy, you have two teams already trading your first

210
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: eight years in the league. Two teams have already said

211
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: thanks but no thanks. That that's to me that has

212
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: to go into the discussion. But I also see here's them.

213
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: When we talk about leader, by definition, a leader is

214
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: someone that inspires others to follow, right, that is what

215
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: a leader is.

216
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: You are someone that inspires exactly.

217
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 2: You know, I remember sitting face to face of Ray

218
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: Lewis and I'm like sitting there with this guy and

219
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: just in a conversation. I'm like, I get it, this

220
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: is a leader. I mean, yeah, he's a great player,

221
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: but that forget all that he is a leader. Kobe

222
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: was a great player, he wasn't necessary a leader. That

223
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: wasn't in his fire. He wasn't that you have to

224
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: inspire others to follow. We saw one. But when people

225
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: make the argument, well, you know, Aunt's still young, and

226
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, no. Magic Johnson was the leader of

227
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers the day he arrived with Kareem on the team.

228
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Larry Bird was the leader of the Celtics the day

229
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: he arrived. They had veterans all over the place. So

230
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: either you have that or you don't have that. And

231
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: so I'm with you. I'm they decided they were going

232
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: to turn the page and Cather, We're going to hand

233
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: this team to Anthony Edwards. And again, his numbers are increasing,

234
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: he's trending statistically in the right direction.

235
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: But he's not that leader. He's just not that leader.

236
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: Keep throwing these numbers out. I don't care about your numbers.

237
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: It's like the discussion you and I had about Scheffler

238
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 4: and how many weeks he's been number one, second to

239
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: Tiger Woods. Constantly consistently. Okay, that's fine, But if it's

240
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: not leading to the majors, if it's not leading to

241
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 4: the total wins, it's just like in basketball or in

242
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: college football, you could be number one and number two.

243
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: Ax Tennessee. Tennessee was ranked number one most of the

244
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: college basketball season. How far did they go in the

245
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: NCAA tournament. That's the way I'm going to always look

246
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: at it. So you can put these numbers together in there, impressive,

247
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 4: And I'll propose, and I'll throw this question back at you,

248
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 4: and we up against the clock. We could bring it

249
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: back up to the break. I asked the question like

250
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: back in February or March, if you were starting your

251
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: franchise at that point, and I give you tube names.

252
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 3: No yeah, no, no, no, no, no, hold off those twokaps.

253
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: Okay, well that's one of them. But I got a

254
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: different guy, all right.

255
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm anxious to find out who that is. We're continuing on. Yeah,

256
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals start Thursday Thursday.

257
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: It's fine, man, get a little breather and get ready

258
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: for Thursday night.

259
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: I like you said, we've seen some exciting playoff basketball.

260
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: Will more. Don't stop me right now?

261
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: Come on, I got a little little man.

Speaker 2: So we're focused in on the teams that are no

281
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: longer part of these NBA playoffs.

282
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 3: And I threw it out to VJA.

283
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: If you could start a franchise two guys that just

284
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: went head ahead in the Western Conference Finals, which way

285
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: would you go between SGA and ANT.

286
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: He went with ANT not he went with SGA, just

287
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: like I did.

288
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: By the way yesterday Martin was he was all hot

289
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: and heavy about and and then we brought on Mark

290
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: Medina is the tiebreaker and he goes, I hate to

291
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: do this, but I'm signing with Hartman here, I.

292
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 3: Will take SGA. All right, So you wanted to throw

293
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 3: someone aunt versus yes to me?

294
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 4: All right, I'm right because I think the SGA thing

295
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: is it's kind of hard to do now sit where

296
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: we are. But the question I had, and I got

297
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: my notes out here in front of me because I

298
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 4: took it to a Laker game with me. I talked

299
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 4: to some other reporters and journalists about and just see

300
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: what they thought. My question was, if you were starting

301
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: a franchise at that point, would you take eight at

302
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: Edwards or would you take Kate Cunningham? And when you

303
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 4: go look at the numbers, I knew you would like that.

304
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: And when you look at the numbers, so I don't

305
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 4: when you go look at the numbers, because if you

306
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: want to talk numbers, Kate Cunningham is thirty seven or

307
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 4: thirty three point shoot this year much better. He's a

308
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 4: better free throw shooter, twenty six better at assists and

309
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: about almost the same rebounds.

310
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: All right, lay those stats aside. Okay, okay, I'm going eyeballton.

311
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: Okay here, So I'm watching one of the greatest single

312
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: season transformations for a franchise ever, if.

313
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: I ever was.

314
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean, from like completely debacle a year ago to

315
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: a team that you know, pushed the Knicks all the

316
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: way to the limits.

317
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: So I'll put it this way.

318
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: When I look at this Pistons team and I look

319
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: at Kid Cunningham's role with this team.

320
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: This gets back to what we were talking about before.

321
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: Kid Cunningham have that leadership quality that is so rare.

322
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: You don't understand this, folks. You can't be designated a leader.

323
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: It has to be something natural. Do you inspire others

324
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: to follow your lead? I think Kate Cunningham has that exactly.

325
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't expected that name. But the second

326
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: you saw my reaction, the second it's about Kid Cunningham's name.

327
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: Can the Detroit Pistons get on top of the NBA?

328
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: I mean they still obviously have a few missing pieces

329
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: along the way, absolutely, but they have the one guy.

330
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing about Kid Cunningham that has impressed me.

331
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: More than anything else.

332
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: He survived that year two years ago.

333
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: In other words, a year like that, when you're on

334
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: a team that is historically bad, that can suck the

335
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: life out of it. You could, I understand that, but

336
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: he was still part of that team absolutely, and it

337
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: can it can You know you've got talent, your top

338
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: picking the draft, You're like, I want out of here,

339
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: I want out. I do not want to be here.

340
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: This is a losing franchise. And he took it on

341
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: his shoulders to say, forget last year. This is a

342
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: new season. Follow my lead and we're going to be

343
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: a much better team. So you're asking me that question,

344
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: do I think Aunt is a better talent?

345
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: It's a fine line, you know. Can he do some

346
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: things that Caid Cunningham can't do? Yes, But does that

347
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: make him a better leader? I haven't seen it yet,

348
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: Like I said, that's the one thing that's missing from Aunt.

349
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: I have yet.

350
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that dynamic that you saw with the

351
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson. You saw with Larry Burden, he saw with

352
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: the Michael Jordan, he saw with the Brian Well in

353
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: terms of Encore.

354
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: But guys that have that natural leadership quality.

355
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: So my answer to your question is and I wouldn't

356
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: have thought i'd say this.

357
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm leading Caid Cunningham.

358
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's a question that I threw at a

359
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: lot of people because when you talk about twenty six

360
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 4: nine and one forty seven percent from the field, thirty

361
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: six from three to eighty five from the free throw line,

362
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: those are the numbers that k put up this year.

363
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: And he did it with a guy like Dennis Schroeder

364
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: coming off the bench, who's who was just kicked to

365
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: the side by like three different teams in one year.

366
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: And now remember Ivy had a Purdue was a sixteen

367
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: and six guy before he got hurt. So a lot

368
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: of people feel like that they do have their batman.

369
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 4: It was just, you know, it's a easy young player

370
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: first year, right, A lot of people do. Then you

371
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 4: have a kid like Holland then you have a veteran

372
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: and see that's what Minnesota does not have. They got

373
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: into Michael Conley, but veteran wise, I would take a

374
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 4: guy like Tobias Harris, not that he's a better player

375
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: than Conley, but Conley just goes dry way too many

376
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 4: times for me. Like there were times you're watching the

377
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: playoffs and you don't hear his name, like you don't

378
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 4: even hear Michael Conley's name. The guys that he had

379
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 4: to do it with with a new coach coming in,

380
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: coming off for franchise of losing twenty eight twenty nine

381
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 4: games in the previous year and still a young player,

382
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 4: and both are former number one picks. Now, this isn't

383
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: the nine Aunt Edwards guys. I'm just looking at Ann

384
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 4: Edwards and I'm thinking, as you just asked, the question,

385
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: can you win a championship with this guy being one

386
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: A It's almost like my argument about Jimmy Butler, which

387
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: it keeps getting proven time and time again. Is he

388
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 4: a really good player? Yes, but I need to know

389
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: can you win a championship with him being the one

390
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 4: A player? I'm just not Ann Edwards is one of

391
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: those guys like I gotta see him do it before

392
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: I will say I think he can. I would say

393
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: I think Cunningham can before Aunt will, because I just

394
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 4: feel like Ant's game just goes like he goes missing.

395
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 6: Like.

396
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 4: Some of these games he won't take shots well.

397
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: And again the last game, you know, they had that phenomenon,

398
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 2: that weird third game where he just was a mailing

399
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: game right for okay, see and again that he goes

400
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: on and Okac showed who they were in game four.

401
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: I mean they just shut down, you know, and they

402
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: shut down Randall shut him down out and you're just

403
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: you're you're done. Uh, And then we saw much of

404
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: the same and then you know, and then you know, afterwards,

405
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards was throwing it out there. He goes, I

406
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: did I did the right things out there. I passed

407
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 2: my teammates or this.

408
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: I mean, do you remember how Lebron Lebron?

409
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 7: This was?

410
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: This was the knock on Lebron? Right?

411
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: Is that Lebron is? You know, he's a facilitator. He's

412
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: not like the guy that is like a Kobe.

413
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: Or a brun Michael facilitator, right, But I mean that

414
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: that he that he would He wasn't looking to be

415
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: the guy to take the shot.

416
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: Now he made. It's not like Lebron hasn't made huge shots.

417
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: But when he would pass the ball in a situation

418
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: like that, everyone's like, what are you doing?

419
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I don't know. Michael Jordan threw it

420
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: to the back said did he not?

421
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: Did he not throw it to Steve Kirk for a

422
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: big game when he shot, Jordan did that. Everyone saw

423
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 2: Kobe threw it to Rod Artest as he was then

424
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: known in Game seven against Boston and test and made

425
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: the big shot. And I saw him after the game

426
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: and I was there and he's like Kobe.

427
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: I believe that he got all excited about But you want.

428
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: Your guy to be the guy man, You want guy

429
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: to want to be the guy. We win or lose

430
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: on me, give me the ball. What did Doug Collins

431
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 4: say about Jordan after the shot over craig Elo. They

432
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 4: asked him what the play called. He said the play

433
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 4: was get the ball to Michael. Everybody, get the bleep

434
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: out of the way, give me the ball, and everybody

435
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: moved and bump on that you're writing down on that

436
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: drive race board wiping off. Their stories were Kobe, I

437
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 4: think it was Rudy t or somebody was drawing up

438
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: a player Dan Tony. They said Kobe took a towel

439
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 4: and wiped it off and said, look, get me the

440
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: ball right here. Everybody get out of the way.

441
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: He's gonna find a spot that looked.

442
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: He goes, whoever want to inbound the ball about to

443
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 4: be part of history, and he goes out and hits

444
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: the game winner like that. You I don't understand why

445
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 4: you wouldn't want that if you're Aunt Edwards and some people,

446
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 4: Steve I will say this, and you've been around a

447
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 4: lot of more pro athletes than I have a lot

448
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: longer some guys and Darrel okay, like Darre okay with

449
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: I'm a star, but do I want to be a

450
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: mega super.

451
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: Far more guys like that?

452
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 4: I get paid contet.

453
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: Are all alpha males, they all have egos and everything else.

454
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 4: But there are a few that.

455
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: Are very few, very few, very few.

456
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: And that's why, again getting back to the Anthony Edwards situation,

457
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: this idea year ago of so many people anointing him

458
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: as the next Michael Jordan. Stop that stop stop stop

459
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: stop stop. There was one Michael Jordan. There will only

460
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: be one Michael Jordan. You know my argument again, when

461
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 2: we talk about again in the NBA, it's this. The

462
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: most dominant player ever was Wilt Chamberlaine. There is no

463
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: question about that. The player that had the greatest impact

464
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: on the NBA was Michael Jordan, no question about that.

465
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 2: Global But who has the deepest resume. It's Lebron James

466
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,040

00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: It was great. I did this like seven or eight times.

485
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: So one time we were out there and it was

486
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: the day before the actual tournament where they have people

487
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: paying an insane amount of money to play around the

488
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 2: golf with all these celebrity athletes and everything else. Jordan

489
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: was there and Charles is there, and then all of

490
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: a sudden, we had a hailstorm that came.

491
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: I'll never forget this.

492
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: It was hot, you know, an elevation right, and we're

00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,640

Speaker 8: Also also Hartman, I gotta, I gotta put you on

525
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 8: the spot here. Yeah, you have said that your goal

526
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 8: is Lebron James.

527
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: Well, he has the greatest resume.

528
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 8: He didn't say that right now, right at differently, Okay,

529
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 8: I understand this, No say that.

530
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: No. I just gave you three guys.

531
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I could still make an argument for Wilt

532
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: Chamberlain because no one's ever going to break his.

533
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 8: Record that you you said you have said on record

534
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 8: on air.

535
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: With me, Yeah, because he has the greatest resume.

536
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it sounds like you're not very confident on

537
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 8: your go Well, I have no question.

538
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: I have a different I have a different standon because

539
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: I have a different standard because I'm you know me,

540
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm a stat guy. Nobody your resume to Jordan, it's

541
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: not close.

542
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 8: It's been playing twenty years.

543
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: Well exactly, but he averaged more rebounds per game or

544
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: assist per game. That's great, all time leading scorer in

545
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: the history of the NBA. It's we're all NBA teams,

546
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: we're all Star games, and.

547
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: Then and then and one, not only championships with the

548
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: finals MVPs of three different franchises.

549
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 8: Is that more impressive than being with one franchise and

550
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 8: doing all the work.

551
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: Oh, Mike, My only question about Jordan was, but Jordan,

552
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 3: the numbers don't lie when you look at the ratings.

553
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: When Jordan was on, he was like Tiger Woods. I mean,

554
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: Jordan had his sizars too.

555
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, but he didn't win.

556
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, we're just gonna knock those out as well.

557
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 8: No, because he said that he won with three different teams.

558
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 8: So that's what I would saying. That's what I was

559
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 8: specifically talking about.

560
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: And again, the teams that Jordan beat in the six

561
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: NBA Finals was a has been Laker team right at the.

562
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: End of their run. He beat Portland. Is that team account?

563
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: He beat a one man team Phoenix Suns with Charles Barkley.

564
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: He beat the Seattle SuperSonics, and then a couple of

565
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 2: wins against the.

566
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 4: Stock set again on which did he ever play?

567
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: Game seven? And an NBA Final memory?

568
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 6: Like that?

569
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 4: Like an elephant. This man was praising Rick Adelman as

570
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 4: a head coach of Hotel, and we talked about those

571
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: Portland teams. So at Portland team he just tried to

572
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 4: bring they weren't the just praised that Portland team two

573
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 4: weeks ago and now it was because I guess speak them.

574
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: Come on, if you're really gonna talk about Jordan's career,

575
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: the question is how high do you rank Scottie Pippen.

576
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: Was Scottie Pippen a total beneficiary of being the teammate

577
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: of Michael Jordan or was he the difference maker that

578
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: made Michael Jordan a champion?

579
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 4: Now that's what you have to do. But if you're

580
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 4: gonna do that, then before Lebron at Wade, Boss, Scotty Love,

581
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 4: Luca guys, I could give you names for Lebron. If

582
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 4: that's what we're gonna do.

583
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 8: I'm just asking this is this is what I just did.

584
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 8: It's called stirring the pot.

585
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 4: That's literally what you know what he does that you

586
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: two work together for two because now you're rubbed off

587
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: on each other. I'm gonna be quiet guy with the updates.

588
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 8: We give you enough day. Guys.

589
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 7: We got a lot of baseball going on, like the

590
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 7: Rangers who are edging the Cardinals two to one top

591
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 7: of the sixth inning, Red Sox holding.

592
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 8: On to that three runs that they score things to

593
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 8: Trevor Stories three RBI double. They're beating the Braves three

594
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 8: to one, bottom of the fourth inning, Orioles on the

595
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 8: scoreboard first against the White Sox two zero, bottom of

596
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 8: the fourth. Phillies have added another run against the Brewers

597
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 8: to zero. They're going to start the fourth inning in Philadelphia.

598
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 8: A's are beating the Blue Jays one zero bottom of

599
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 8: the third, Guardians edging the Angels one zero top of

600
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 8: the fourth. The Mets were down not anymore. Let's see

601
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 8: if somebody hit a home run, because the Rockies were

602
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 8: up on the Mets one zero, and it looks like

603
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 8: Pete Alonso, Yes, Polar Bear Pete has hit a three

604
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 8: run shot for the Mets, so now they're up on

605
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 8: the Rockies three to one bottom of the fourth inning.

606
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 8: The Giants are shutting up the Marlins four zero top

607
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 8: of the fourth inning, and the Astros up on the

608
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 8: Rays first one zero after two innings. Scotti Scheffler has

609
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 8: teed off for the final round of the Memorial and

610
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 8: he is still in the lead. He's eight hundred part overall,

611
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 8: but he's even through two holes for this final round.

612
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 8: Ben Griffin is one shot back. When it comes to

613
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 8: the French Open, two seed, Carlos Alcraz did defeat American

614
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 8: in thirteen seed Bennett Shelton, who put up a good

615
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 8: fight but he won in six sets. So now Carlos

616
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 8: Alcorraz is going to face Tommy Paul, who won his

617
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 8: fourth round match, becoming the first American to reach the

618
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 8: quarterfinals since two thousand and three. So Tommy Paul Carlo

619
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 8: Soakers facing each other in the quarterfinals right now. Francis

620
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 8: Tiapo is in his fourth round match and he is

621
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 8: up two sets to none, but in this third set

622
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 8: he is down five games to four.

623
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Yeah, exciting that three men American

624
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 2: man even got to the fourth round. Of the French Open.

625
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: And again you mentioned Paul. I mean he's first American

626
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: to get.

627
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 8: To the quarters since two thousand and three.

628
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and exactly, it's a long time. I know, we're

629
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: not big on the clay, you know that's so.

630
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mon, it's a quick question for my question, Caate

631
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 4: or Aunt. You started a franchise, Cunningham or Ant?

632
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 8: How man? You know that's really a hard one. Kate,

633
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 8: Cunningham or Aunt on this short sample size, I feel

634
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 8: like I'd have to go to Cad. It's a short

635
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 8: sample size, and so I don't want to, you know,

636
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 8: it is, and so I feel like we could be

637
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 8: changing our mind in a couple of years. But with

638
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 8: what I can see right now, maybe it's Cad Cunningham

639
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 8: year apart.

640
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 4: Kate's just finished this fourth season fact, Kate is, so it's.

641
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's close. Kate is twenty three and Ants twenty four.

642
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

643
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean there're so both young, both young, you

644
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying.

645
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: Well, Kate also has the advantage of playing in the

646
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference.

647
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 8: That is good.

648
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: There's a dramatic difference between the easier conference in the West.

649
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: It's going to get to that tele playing in the

650
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference. Just full concept before you go to read that.

651
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: When I asked this question, I found my notes. This

652
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 4: is when the Pistons were thirty three and twenty six

653
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 4: and the Timberwolves were thirty two and twenty seven, And

654
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 4: that's when I asked this question. Says over the next

655
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: five years, looking at both these guys right now where

656
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 4: they sit. That's why I thought the question was really

657
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: fair because Minnesota start out really bad this year, and

658
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 4: you thought they were going to take this leap after

659
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: the East Western Conference finals last year.

660
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 8: They punted too right when they traded right, Yeah, exactly.

661
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 4: So that that's why I want to just want to contest.

662
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 4: I know someone's out there, like VJ. I'm like, hey,

663
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: I asked the question when both teams were one game

664
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: apart after fifty plus games this year. I thought it

665
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 4: was a fair question.

666
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are signing McKay cunning again,

667
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: no knock on an all that little.

668
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: Bit of something extra maybe changed my mind.

669
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: All right, once again, Harbin and Husky here Fox Sports Sunday,

670
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: run the Fox Sports radio studios. All right, I want

671
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: to turn my attention to the New York Knicks. All right,

672
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: so let's let's I ask you this very basic question.

673
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: The Knicks run this year. Was it an aberration or

674
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: is this a team now destined for even greater things

675
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: in the near future.

676
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 4: I think it's a total aberration this year. I think

677
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: they'll take a step back because I just don't believe

678
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 4: in Karl Anthony Towns. I just don't.

679
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: I just even it disappears.

680
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: It's funny. Ray Now asked me last night when she

681
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: was like, why are you cause I talk out loud

682
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 4: when I watch sports like, I talk out loud, and

683
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 4: I don't care if no one's in the room. I've

684
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 4: got neighbors to be like, hey man, yeah, people over

685
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: last night I'm like, nah, what do you I heard people? No,

686
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: you just heard me. I was talking to the TV.

687
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 4: But she asked me, he goes, why don't you like

688
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: that guy? You've been talking trash about him for Yes,

689
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 4: I just don't. There's just something about him. I think

690
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: you're just too damn big to be out on the

691
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: perimeter so much. And if you got your butt down

692
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: in the post and he was all the NBA this year,

693
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 4: and you know his points were up, you'd average thirty

694
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: three thirty four points at night broes he on him

695
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: and ate anybody on his side, nobody, nobody, not.

696
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: Other guys in side.

697
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: And a team that drafted a number one eventually within

698
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 4: the first you know, seven eight year set. Bye bye.

699
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: It's been interesting. Jalen Brunson is a throwback.

700
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Jalen Brunson would have fit in on those

701
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: Knicks teams of the nineties.

702
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, cat he would have been.

703
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 4: And then no chance, fellow you marshmellow. I just always

704
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 4: looked at him like, yeah, you got a three point shot,

705
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 4: and yeah, when you put the ball on the floor,

706
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 4: you can get to the Holo mouse turner. He's never

707
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: gonna be mistaken as a top defender. But when you

708
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 4: look at this whole roster, Josh Hart's not gonna be

709
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 4: there much longer. Who's the heart and soul of this team?

710
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 4: And is just a darn good professional basketball play. You

711
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 4: talk about a guy I love that's not a superstar, well,

712
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 4: he one of my favorite players to watch him get boards.

713
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you know he fights fight.

714
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: I mean, if honestly, if Karl Anthony Down's had that

715
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: kind of firing and we would be dominant.

716
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 4: Are the fire that Williams has it them that's coming

717
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: off the bitch, that's keeping you And anytime, Steve, you're

718
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 4: kept on the bitch because of situational I'm done. Like

719
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 4: that can't be good for the future, because we know, okay,

720
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: if we need to defend it, we need to get

721
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 4: on the boards. We have to pull you off the

722
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: floor and put a guy on the floor who can't

723
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: go get his own shot at all. Williams buggets are

724
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 4: all off of offensive rebounds, tip ins, things of that nature.

725
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 4: We can't dump the ball to Williams and go all right,

726
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: give me your post move that you've been working on

727
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: and go get me a bucket. He can't do that.

728
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 4: So when you have to get pulled off the flour

729
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 4: for that, Steve, to me, dude, you're almost like another

730
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 4: role player with the big name putting up good numbers.

731
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: They answer your question. I think a total admiration, you know,

732
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 4: I think these teams Indiana, Cleveland, Detroit, Boston teams are

733
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 4: gonna be better next year. I just look at this

734
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: Nick team, was like, maybe it's the course you guys

735
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: took to get where you got to.

736
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: But well, let me just whoop them, all right, So

737
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: we were talking about Detroit obviously, and then they pushed

738
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: the takes hard in that series. Celtics are facing the

739
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: real possibility of Tatum being out all of next year. Obviously,

740
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: the Pacers somebody had to win the East and it

741
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: was the Pacers and they played well. But I mean,

742
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 2: if if you're looking here a crystal ball for next season,

743
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: let's get on the record right now here, on this

744
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: June first, who's going to be the Eastern Conference champion

745
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: a year?

746
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: For now?

747
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 4: It all depends on what Boston does with that spot

748
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: for Tatum, because they're going to try to go get somebody.

749
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: All right, We'll hang on to that thought because we're

750
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: going to get that answer. We'll give you both our answers.

751
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: It's a tough call because again the Celtics, are they

752
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: good enough without Tatum to still take control of the East,

753
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: something they fail again to do this year.

754
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: We'll break it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

755
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio, Harman Husky, Fox Sports Sunday.

756
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: Once again, we're here in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

757
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 3: Are you left us hanging again?

758
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: I like this I have and by the way, we're

759
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: not talking about this specifically, we're talking about everything else

760
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 2: during the break. So, okay, you left me hanging. Where

761
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 2: were we on this hanging question?

762
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 4: Well, we're talking about the Nikobacchus and what they could

763
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 4: be next year, right, But there's so much flux that's

764
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 4: going to happen in the Eastern Conference.

765
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 2: This all so I asked you on this June first,

766
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 2: so look into your crystal ball and tell me who

767
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: will be the Eastern Conference champion a year from now.

768
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I could see it being the Cleveland Cavaliers

769
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: again because they just won sixty four games, right, sixtyepore

770
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 4: and eighteen, and lot's not going to change unless they

771
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: blow it up.

772
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: Would But they do not play well at.

773
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 4: All in these players. That's that's true, But neither did

774
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 4: Okay see last year. And sometimes young teams, and I've

775
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 4: been a proponent on this forever, young teams do not

776
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 4: win NBA championships. They just don't. Maybe a young superstar does,

777
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 4: Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, maybe a young guy, but young

778
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 4: teams don't win NBA championships. You must go through the hurt,

779
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 4: the pain, the learning curves. We've seen it. Okay, See,

780
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: we see where they are now we've seen it with

781
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 4: the Pacers. We've seen where they are now. It could

782
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 4: be Cleveland next year because the last two years haven't

783
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: gone according to Planet. Maybe next year of the year

784
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 4: they break through. But that's the only team I can

785
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 4: give you. Because you and I were talking doing a break.

786
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 4: We don't know what's gonna happen with Boston. I think

787
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 4: Giannis is gone out of the.

788
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: Bus, all right, slow down right there? See that to

789
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: me is the X factor in the East. What is

790
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: next for Gianni's exact right By the way, we were

791
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: talking off air about this one possible destination because this

792
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: is a proud franchise led by one of the biggest

793
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: names in NBA history, speaking.

794
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 3: Of pat Riley and the Miami Heat God.

795
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: After getting rid of Jimmy Butler, they're back to ground zero,

796
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: right And so do you want to Kevin Durant at

797
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: the end of his career.

798
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 3: You're like, no, No, what would you want? Yanna?

799
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

800
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: You know absolutely, I mean you you give up anything

801
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: right now to get that level of player.

802
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: Down in Miami and put your.

803
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: Franchise back on the map. And if Jannis goes to

804
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: Miami and they could put a few pieces around him. Again,

805
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: to me, there's even with Cleveland, there's nothing that really

806
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 2: separates any of these teams, especially with Jason Tatum out

807
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future of the Celtics. So I don't

808
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 2: even takes that much. You gotta have a star, yep.

809
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: But if you just get a few role guys.

810
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: That fit, that could be enough to win the East.

811
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 5: A name.

812
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: I thought that there's a free agent unrestricted this offseason.

813
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 4: Watch where brook Lopez ends up this offseason. A big

814
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: seven footer who can shoot the three healthy available, not

815
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 4: gonna complain, not gonna try to do anything I had

816
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 4: of care to, try to go get his own shot,

817
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 4: try to show up. He's gonna that's a guy that

818
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 4: can fall right in the line. You're putting him with

819
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 4: Bamm and we're speaking hypothetical guys and we're way way

820
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 4: way ahead. But a guy like brooke Y Bam Hero

821
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 4: and then like you said, even some of the other

822
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: smaller pieces they got there.

823
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess there there you go. You see guy.

824
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: But you know some of those veterans that's looking for

825
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: the league, for the league men, right, they're trying to

826
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: get somewhere, last few checks and be on the contending team.

827
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: It's just, you know, it's it's it's a big possibility

828
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: to where he lands.

829
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna get much more into this NBA Finals matchup

830
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 2: between the Pacers and the Thunder, But.

831
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 3: Just a quick note about Indiana.

832
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: So I was watching a YouTube video on sort of

833
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: like the last ten years of the Pacers, how they

834
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: got to this point, right, And when you think about it,

835
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: this Pacers roster is a collection of rejects. Yeah, they

836
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: were rejected by this franchise, rejected by that franchise. We're

837
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 2: gonna move on from this guy, move on from that guy.

838
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: And the one thing the reason the Pacers are in

839
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals is very evident. Have you been watching

840
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: They have the best chemistry. Their pieces fit at the right.

841
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 3: Time of the year. Pascal.

842
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy that was an All Star, right,

843
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 2: but did you ever think was that kind of a guy?

844
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 6: Oh?

845
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 4: Never? Never?

846
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 2: And he deserves a lab all due respect to Tyres Haliburt,

847
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: he deserved Conference Finals MVP thirty one points last night,

848
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: took his game to another level and he's got that

849
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: championship pedigree. But when you think about it, this is

850
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: really what it came down to the Pacers. Put guys

851
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: together and start putting pieces together. A lot of guys

852
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: that were basically rejected by other franchises, and they're able

853
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: to get Rick Carlisle.

854
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: One of the best coaches in the NBA.

855
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 2: But he figured out how to put the pieces together

856
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 2: at the right time.

857
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to add. We need to

858
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 4: salute and give a shout out to Rick Carlisle. Gentlemen,

859
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 4: if you don't know is Rick Carlisle is number eleven

860
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 4: on the all times win list. This man can coach

861
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 4: basketball game.

862
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 3: Remember his first two years with Detroit r.

863
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,959
Speaker 4: Come on, a pissoness guy, but when you still see

864
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 4: his passion on the sideline, he's the main reason why

865
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 4: they're in the NBA Finals.

866
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: All right, coming up on the other side, okase, he

867
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: gets ready for Indiana.

868
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 3: How good is okac? You have no idea? This is

869
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Sunday. Roll along, Hair on another busy sports Sunday.

870
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, and we are in the

871
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports radio studios.

872
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's get right to this right now.

873
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: So as I was leading the house today, my younger son,

874
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: who is the NBA addict, he is BJ You and

875
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: I obviously follow the NBA. I'll give you credit the

876
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: current NBA. You're more on top of it than I am.

877
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 2: But then my son Garrett is like a different level.

878
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 2: And this this kid, I mean, he is this thing,

879
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: this has always been.

880
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 3: This thing is the NBA.

881
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 2: He plays that NBA two K right, he redoes franchise

882
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 2: over and over, then plays out the next ten years

883
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: and then I mean over and over and over again.

884
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: So he's always hitting abody. Hey, dad, you know where

885
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: this guy went to college?

886
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: I got no.

887
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: Most of these guys are one and done guys I

888
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: can't remember, you know, unless they were in the final four.

889
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm leaving today and immediately hits me up

890
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: with you know, if the Pacers win one of the games,

891
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: and okay, I said stop, stop okay. So and the

892
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: reason I said stop is this, if you really haven't

893
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: picked up on what OKAC has done in this postseason,

894
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 2: and not just this postseason.

895
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 3: What they have done all year long.

896
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: Sixty eight wins, average margin of victory thirteen points per

897
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: game for the entire year, record setting point differential in

898
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 2: the postseason, even with losing a game by forty two points. Right,

899
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: But as scary as they have been this year, and

900
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: now that they have gotten that cars, we talked about,

901
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: you know, the growing pains of getting over the hump.

902
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: This is where the Bulls were in ninety one when

903
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 2: they got over the hump. You know, they got past

904
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 2: the Pistons and they never looked back. Let's talk about

905
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen with OKAC because I'm going to go

906
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: right now on the record.

907
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: Ok See, we'll win these.

908
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: NBA Finals and the Pacers will be lucky to win

909
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: even a single game. No knock on the Pacers. They

910
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: might win a game, that'll be it. But here, here,

911
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: here's where it gets scary for OKAC. So you know

912
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: how this franchise is put together. This is the second

913
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: youngest team ever to make it to the NBA Finals,

914
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: By the way, the youngest team was the seventy seven

915
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: Portland Trail Blazers with a twenty four year old Bill Walton.

916
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, the year the next year, they

917
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: were fifty to ten to start the season when Bill

918
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: went down with an injury. Never played another game with

919
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: the Blazers and that was it. That was it, that

920
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: was it.

921
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 3: Okay.

922
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: So injuries are always a part of it. But here's

923
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: what's scary about this OKC team. Average age twenty five

924
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: and a half. And you got a chet Holmger and

925
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: he got a Jalen Williams to go with Shay Gilgess

926
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: Alexander So there's your nucleus right there, right. They have

927
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: ten first round picks over the next five years. They

928
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: have five in the next two years. They are still

929
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: feeding off that Clippers trade. So they have two number

930
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 2: ones in this year's draft. They have three number ones

931
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: in next year's draft. So even as your faced with

932
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: the dilemma of having to pay your young stars all

933
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: this money, they have a chance to reload with more

934
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 2: and more talent because you can package number ones together.

935
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 3: As we know, or I mean, there's just you have.

936
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: When you have all these draft picks, it gives you

937
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: countless options to either you know, move up in the

938
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 2: draft or use those draft picks to get a very

939
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 2: young veteran player to add to the mix.

940
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: So when you have that.

941
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 2: Kind of flexibility with your roster, they have limitless flexibility

942
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 2: with the roster over the next three, four, five years.

943
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: There is nothing that could prevent bar Look, Shay Gill

944
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: just goes down with the injury.

945
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 3: They have some that can all happen. But if you are.

946
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 2: Just taking a step back and really looking at what

947
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: they have now, what they've done this season, what I

948
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 2: think they're gonna do in these NBA finals, and how

949
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: that bodes for the near future. This run of like

950
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: a different champion every year is going to end. OKAC

951
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: is going to dominate the NBA for the balance of

952
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 2: this decade.

953
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 4: I don't think I disagree with what most you said.

954
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 4: I just want to preface it in a different way.

955
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this OKC team and they remind me

956
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 4: of another team. We just saw. You and I were

957
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 4: talking to a coursial break and we thought brought the Spurs.

958
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: But the Spurs did it for twenty years. You and

959
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 4: I both believe you can't do that in today's game anymow.

960
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 4: They way the contracts work and the way players act,

961
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 4: and coaches get fired, and guys want to team up

962
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 4: and go get this guy, and go get that guy,

963
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 4: and go fi We're just gonna see that. I think seven.

964
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 4: I think they get today's world, today's NBA. You can

965
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: get a good five to seven year real open win.

966
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 4: Know they be competitive and be serious. Title contenders every year.

967
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 4: So it started getting me to think about the Golden

968
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 4: State Warriors. And when they really kind of came onto

969
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 4: the scene, they had, you know, first round elimination. Then

970
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 4: they had the series against uh, the Clippers and the

971
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 4: whole Donald Sterling thing, and you know, got eliminated the

972
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 4: second round, and then the light went on and same

973
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 4: thing had a star and Steph had a second rate

974
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 4: guy and Clay and then you had Raymond. This this this,

975
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 4: this Oklahoma City.

976
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: Team got SGA And your key addition was when the

977
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: gat agdal Yeah, I go a dollar the first championship.

978
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 4: Yet when they got a lot of guys on that

979
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 4: on that on that team that they they veterans that

980
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: they bring in Barbosa, like they added some events to

981
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 4: get them over the hump. And you look at this

982
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 4: team with OKC. You got sg A, you got Williams,

983
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 4: you got home Run, but then you got Dort, then

984
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 4: you got Hernstein, like you like, you got some guys

985
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 4: that that they're not gonna want to lead. You got Caruso.

986
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 4: They're not gonna want to go now, They're gonna want

987
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 4: to stay there. So maybe if you guys take a

988
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 4: little less money here and there from year to year

989
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: or what have you. And like you said, they have

990
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 4: all these picks, all these first round picks. Crazy and

991
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 4: then eventually what did Golden State do? They used all

992
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 4: the capitols they had to do what to go get

993
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant? Right, So just joking around, laughing, wouldn't it

994
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 4: be hilarious if okay see won the championship and then

995
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 4: traded like five number ones to Milwaukee for Janniss? Why

996
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 4: why not? Hey number one?

997
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 3: They will you out do it?

998
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 4: We'll give you five number one. If you can't rebuild

999
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 4: off that, we'll give you five number one. We don't care.

1000
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 4: We just won the championship. We're straight, we don't even

1001
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 4: we don't really need number ones right now. But we'll

1002
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 4: add to this if we can.

1003
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: If they even if they hit on one of those picks. Yeah,

1004
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: if they can hit on one of those picks. Now,

1005
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: now you got a four man nick exactly. And you

1006
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 2: know when you talk about adding veteran, I'll never get

1007
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: the Lakers in the eighties. So here you got magic

1008
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 2: now and you got Kareem and they got this nucleus

1009
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: developing Michael Cooper for defense, and then out of the blue,

1010
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 2: they sign a guy that everyone thought was finished, Bob McAdoo.

1011
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: I mean Bob McAdoo, baby greatest shooting big man. I

1012
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: still think to this day it was a much more

1013
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: physical game. You don't have the wide open like you

1014
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: could talk about Dirk and talk about Kevin Durant.

1015
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: What I mean. Yeah, But I mean when.

1016
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: You when you think about Bob McAdoo, I mean he

1017
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: was a scoring machine early in his career with the

1018
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo Braves, and he was the perfect piece of Lakers

1019
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: because he no one matched up with this guy. He

1020
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 2: could give you fifteen to twenty minutes instant points. And

1021
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 2: that's where this is where this Okay, seeon when you

1022
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: are I mean, we're.

1023
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 3: Just talking first round picks. They got it almost as

1024
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: many second round picks.

1025
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 2: They are just sitting with a barrel full of picks

1026
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 2: over the next five years, still courtesy of that Clippers trade.

1027
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: And they just have so much flexibility. They're such a

1028
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: young team. They had to learn how to win in

1029
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They're showing it right now. They're really strutting

1030
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: their stuff. You sort of hesitated when I talked about

1031
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: blitzing in the end in the series. No knocking the Pacers.

1032
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 2: But I mean, how the Pacers gonna match up with

1033
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: the Death I can't.

1034
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 4: For got to answer for that, but would okay, see

1035
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 4: another thing about and just to put a bow on

1036
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 4: the Golden State comparison, A lot of people look at

1037
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 4: those Golden State teams. They forget one thing because we

1038
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 4: know about the offense in the shooting. People forget what

1039
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: a great rebounding team they were and what a great

1040
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 4: defensive team they were. They like, they'll blow you out

1041
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 4: because they could stop you. Okay, see how many times

1042
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 4: we see, okay, see win games this year like one

1043
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 4: forty three to one eleven or one fifty five or

1044
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: one to fifty one to one o thre they're blowing

1045
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 4: people out because they can stop people right now. Okay,

1046
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 4: see fourth and overall defense, fourth and rebounding, fourth and blocks.

1047
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 4: But they were also fourth and field goal percentage. So

1048
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 4: not only could can they score, they have times to

1049
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 4: lock you down the way what.

1050
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: They did in Game four against Minnesota.

1051
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you come back on the road after getting

1052
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: blown up by forty two and just shut them down, it's.

1053
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: Called mental growth and mental toughness. Not to go in

1054
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: the tank. Think about it. They lose the first game

1055
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 4: to Aaron Gordon's game winner. Shay Gilga. Alexander sitting at

1056
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 4: the podium and he got knocked for this, but he

1057
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 4: was like, you know, it is what it is, but

1058
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 4: we're about to see what we really made of. Should

1059
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 4: be fun. And he left it at the Oh my god,

1060
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 4: he had to like you that. No, he just remember

1061
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 4: we walked off the court smiling, and everybody question that

1062
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 4: he goes. I never want anybody to see any weakness

1063
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 4: in me. I never want nobody to see that I'm down.

1064
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 4: I never I'm you know, I'm saying we're good. We're good,

1065
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 4: and that's one thing, and that's another thing you want

1066
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 4: out of your stars. We're good. But this this OKC

1067
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 4: team is really really good. But I think Indiana has

1068
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 4: a shot. And just the only reason why I think

1069
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 4: that this is the only shot they have. Can Okase

1070
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 4: keep up with them because Indiana plays like a college team.

1071
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 4: They're going to ninety foot press you every possession, and

1072
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 4: the Knicks found out they just couldn't run with you. You

1073
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 4: could run with us for about a half, but this

1074
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 4: is how we play. We're not trying to just because

1075
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 4: you're playing. We've been playing like this all year long.

1076
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 4: We get the ball out. How many times did you

1077
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 4: see them score off from may buckets? I'm talking a

1078
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 4: bucket will go through. They get it out to hoop

1079
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 4: one foot out of bounce and bounce the team. Every

1080
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 4: one on the team, those who look up and they're

1081
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 4: getting the boy, and it's like, and you'll get a layup.

1082
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 4: And I'm listening to Reggie Miller and Van Gunnigo. That's

1083
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 4: like the seventh time off of a nick like layup.

1084
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 4: They turn around to get a layup within five seconds.

1085
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 4: And the last thing is okay. See, Indiana has three

1086
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 4: guys that they can throw a shae. They got three

1087
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 4: really good perimeter defenders that they can throw his shae

1088
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 4: and give him three because it wore Bronson dead. But

1089
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 4: he is underrated. I mean again, he's got to take

1090
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 4: the big shots.

1091
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 3: At the end.

1092
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be a hypocrite on that, but

1093
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: he is an underrated passer. I mean, I think he

1094
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: finds guys, you know, and it's not just.

1095
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 3: A matter of finding the guys. He the timing of

1096
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 3: his passes.

1097
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 2: I mean he can he gets guys wide open for

1098
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: threes and they knock him down. Look, I like this

1099
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: Indiana team a lot. As I said at the beginning,

1100
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, this is a team of rejacks. This is

1101
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: a team of a lot of players that other franchises

1102
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: deemed expendable.

1103
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 3: And they have put this all together.

1104
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: Carlisle is absolutely one of the best coaches of the NBA.

1105
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 3: People forget after he left Detroit he went to.

1106
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: Indiana, you know, and then he ends up winning a

1107
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 2: championship with Dallas.

1108
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 4: We'll say, don't forget about that ring that you got.

1109
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 3: Well he won that ring, but you got life out

1110
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 3: of Jason Kidd.

1111
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 2: You know, with all the necessary focus on dirt, he

1112
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 2: squeezed something out of Jason Kidd. I need your leadership

1113
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 2: against this Heat team, and they got the job done

1114
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 2: and upsetting the Heat that year.

1115
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 3: So I'm a big believer in Carlisle.

1116
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 4: Would you be surprised if I told you I thought

1117
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 4: this series can go seven, this series coming out, I

1118
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 4: would be I'm very excited about that. Fine, I don't

1119
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 4: very excited about it.

1120
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: I don't have a horse in this ring neither I would.

1121
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 2: All I want is a competitive series where I'm anxious

1122
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: to see the next game. You know, if O case

1123
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 2: blows out Indiana in the first game at home.

1124
00:51:58,480 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 4: Is it's not gonna mean nothing.

1125
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: It may not, but it doesn't give me make it

1126
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: a competitive first game?

1127
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 3: All right, I'm ready for game two?

1128
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 4: No, because I let me say this.

1129
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: OKC wins the first two games at home by double digits,

1130
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 2: which is what they've been doing all season long.

1131
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 4: And that's what you're supposed to do. And now you

1132
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 4: got to go to Indiana in a hostile environment. And

1133
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 4: it's just another point. You mentioned them, we both talked

1134
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: about them. Who would you take as the coach? You go,

1135
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 4: that's good, that's going to be indis finals. Is they

1136
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 4: have Rick Carlisle in Oklahoma City. Doesn't listen, I'll come

1137
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 4: on in a minute. Wrong, guys, if it's a five

1138
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 4: game or they get swept, but if this thing gets

1139
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 4: the six, I'm going with the coach that's been here,

1140
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 4: that's done it. And I got a young team, just

1141
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 4: like you got a young team. We got two young

1142
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 4: teams plus VJ.

1143
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: We've been saying all season long, the difference between the

1144
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 2: Western Conference and the Eastern Conference. This is like when

1145
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers played the Nets and you're watching the net.

1146
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 4: Lakers had Kobe and Shaq the nets Head Kid and

1147
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 4: Kenyon Martin Like, it's just no comparison. It's just no,

1148
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 4: it's no comparison.

1149
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,959
Speaker 3: I think will do that kind of what he did

1150
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 3: in this series, he can do that again.

1151
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm sold in on hockey. Come, I'm sold in.

1152
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 4: I'm sold in. I'm yes, I'm you want the question,

1153
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 4: give you the answer. I'm sold in on this guy.

1154
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 4: Where's it gonna go? And if you ask me s

1155
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: g A and and Halliburn, I don't want to call

1156
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 4: it a wash. I'll still give the edge. I'll still

1157
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 4: give the edge the sg A. But I'm just not

1158
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 4: gonna play Halliburn like this man. I'm not gonna play

1159
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 4: an Olympic gold medalist. I'm not gonna play a guy

1160
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 4: that's been leading the team, that's led this league in

1161
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 4: assists and when it's time for him to step up

1162
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 4: and make all the big shots this year, that's what

1163
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 4: he's done.

1164
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm gonna say this. I hope you're right.

1165
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 2: I think you're wrong. Yeah, of course, I mean that's

1166
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:48,799

Speaker 3: Okay?

1209
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 2: So all we know is a couple of weeks ago

1210
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: this really started. If you're you're just finding out about this.

1211
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 2: So I was, I was here, I'm always here, way

1212
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 2: early before the show and Chris purfet throws something at

1213
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 2: me that was like, he goes, I got over under.

1214
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: How many snaps.

1215
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: Standers will take in the regular season for the Cleveland

1216
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:08,919
Speaker 2: Browns this year and over under was a half, which

1217
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: is basically saying that either he will actually play a game,

1218
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 2: take a snap, one snap for the Browns this year,

1219
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,919
Speaker 2: or the zero. And so I thought, okay, let's let's

1220
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 2: throw that at v J. And Jay's reaction was pretty

1221
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 2: much the same, like, what did you say half? I thought,

1222

00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 9: get a point for the landscape of that, thank you.

1240
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 9: So I haven't actually looked at the Panthers goals yet

1241
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 9: I actually got crunched on time while I was commissering

1242
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 9: v with with Ricky in the back. Thanks to Ricky

1243
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 9: for the imaging. I we set the over under three

1244
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 9: and a half goals. I do not know what they

1245
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 9: did to the leafs.

1246
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 4: They went over like five yeah over, I catched on

1247
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 4: they killed him.

1248
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 9: That's right, yeah yeah yeah, So that that is a

1249
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 9: that is actually a point for VJ.

1250
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 4: Point for VJ.

1251
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 9: Also on complete game, we actually just had one like

1252
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 9: yesterday by the reds Little so complete game was pitched

1253
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 9: in MLB after twek schoobl got one. So actually I

1254
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 9: think there was a whole explosion of complete games. Angel

1255
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 9: Reese also went over twenty eight and a half points.

1256
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 9: Tally that up again for Steve. Actually not VJ went under,

1257
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 9: so right now, two to one, thank you, Angel, actually

1258
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 9: three one because you got moves and you both went

1259
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 9: under on the half a choke sign, so that's points

1260
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 9: to both of you.

1261
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 4: I did not watch, and so I know, no, I

1262
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 4: wish there was.

1263
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 3: I was waiting at the end of the game yesterday.

1264
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: You know what, Russell Miller should have done a choke song,

1265
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: but he wasn't going to do that at home. Yeah,

1266
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 2: if they had won in New York Game seven, I

1267
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 2: guarantee you all right, all right, So do we have

1268
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: a scoreboard? Are we keeping score here? I will put

1269
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 2: together the master scoreboard. I've been moving a lot of

1270
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 2: these notes over to a to a spreadsheet, so I

1271
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 2: mean it is a competition, right and there you have

1272
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 2: some that are still far out into the future, including

1273
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 2: one today. We're gonna start doing totals for teams in

1274
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: the NFL sill one end each week as we keep

1275
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: going along.

1276
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 3: So let's start. Let's start. Let's start first with the finals.

1277
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 9: We'll start with an easy one shake Gildas Alexander, and

1278
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 9: I'm low balling this a little bit because I think

1279
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 9: his points for games higher than this U thirty two

1280
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 9: and a half for game one points.

1281
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 3: That's a good number.

1282
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 4: I think he averages thirty two point seven day.

1283
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 2: You want this first, so you'll tell you I'll take

1284
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 2: the four first, because I'm gonna go with the three.

1285
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go at one point that I think we'll

1286
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 4: keep Indiana in this series. They have three legitimate, really

1287
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 4: good to great perimeter defenders, and I think Shay Gilges

1288
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 4: Alexander will start a little slow, try to get his

1289
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 4: team involved at days in that nature. For for game one,

1290
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 4: give me the under. I like twenty six, twenty seven

1291
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 4: points something that I'll take the under, thirty thirty two

1292
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 4: and a half, thirty two and a half, give me

1293
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 4: the under one for game one, give me the under.

1294
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 2: And I'm so glad you put out a number like

1295
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 2: that because it does seem like a big number, nearly

1296
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 2: big enough.

1297
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: I know what you're saying, but to me, this.

1298
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 2: Is Shake Gildess Alexander's first NBA Finals game as the

1299
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 2: MVP of the league. And remember the last time a

1300
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: regular season MVP won a championship the same season was

1301
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: Steph Curry back in twenty to fifteen, ten years ago.

1302
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 3: So this is a guy on a mission right now.

1303
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: I fully expect Shake Guildess Alexander to go off in

1304
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: Game one to what I believe is going to be

1305
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 2: an easy thunder victory. So I will definitely take over on.

1306
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 3: That one, all right, VJ on the under, yes.

1307
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 4: Steve on the over. All right.

1308
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 9: So Dodgers are on the doorstep of a sweep of

1309
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 9: the New York Yankees.

1310
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 4: Game three is tonight.

1311
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 9: I was originally thinking about some Aaron Judge home runs,

1312
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 9: but we'll just keep the simple guys over under a

1313
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 9: half a sweep for the Dodgers.

1314
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 4: It was a little bump for the Dodgers to night.

1315
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter. Oh as long as it's not all right,

1316
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 3: I will tell you right now. Hold on, let me get.

1317
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 4: To uh, you know what after eighteen to two last

1318
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 4: night and getting embarrassed like that and then the game

1319
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 4: before Judge and show, hey go out.

1320
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 2: It is Yamamoto on the mound for the Dodgers. There

1321
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: Yarborough's on the mound for the Yankees. Knight's pitched pretty

1322
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: well this year, but he hasn't pitched as well as Yamamoto,

1323
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 2: but he is is Yamloto.

1324
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 4: You know, give me, give me the over man. I

1325
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 4: think the Dodgers finished. The Yankees haven't shown me anything

1326
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 4: in this series. They think they can hang with the Dodgers.

1327
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, you can eighteen runs. They're they're

1328
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 4: knocking you all over the diamond. I'll take the Dodgers

1329
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 4: the sweet fish and finish this to night.

1330
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 2: I'm not taking the Yankees the No freaking way am

1331
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 2: I gonna pick the Yankees against the Dodgers. So we're

1332
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 2: on the same page. Yamamoto is gonna be lights out?

1333
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: Could you believe that game last night? And by the way, Eric,

1334
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: by the did know Tom? These are ridiculous just hitting

1335
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty, It's like it's nothing.

1336
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 4: You know what's.

1337
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 9: Ridiculous is these City connect jerseys. They stink, They're awful.

1338
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 9: They look I thought the Tigers looked bad. This is

1339
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 9: just looks you picked them up with like a good

1340
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 9: will or something.

1341
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,959
Speaker 4: The range is alternate, the ranges Friday jerseys are horrible time.

1342
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 9: So no, we're we're on the same one there with

1343
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 9: the Okay, okay, I really wish we had some Champions

1344
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 9: League to do, just so I could really tie the

1345
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 9: screws to Steve.

1346
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 4: Unfortunately ended that.

1347
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 2: I actually last night doing my TV work, I had

1348
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: back to back to back to back soccer stories.

1349
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 3: Well I can't even and it was crazy.

1350
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 9: I can't even do casualties from from the PSG rate

1351
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 9: because we already have numbers from that.

1352
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 3: And by the way, so it was Milan that lost.

1353
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: Inter Milan, So Inner Milan loses to France, right, We

1354
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 2: actually showed them awarding the silver medals.

1355
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 3: They had the line where.

1356
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 4: And you and I were in the studio watching that.

1357
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 2: So as soon as they had the medals put around

1358
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: their neck, they took them.

1359
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:04,439
Speaker 3: Off, right, They got him there.

1360
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 9: I'm five mil Yeah, that is That is a loss

1361
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 9: that will stick for a generation of inter Milan fans.

1362
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 3: But it was hilarious as they were having the silver

1363
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,959
Speaker 3: medals put around their neck that you were all taking

1364
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 3: them off. I want to remind of this nightmare.

1365
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 4: We just let them.

1366
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 9: Either way, We'll set soccer to the side. I did

1367
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 9: promise you an NFL total, So here's our next team.

1368
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 9: We've already done the forty nine ers. Uh in the

1369
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 9: news this week was by the way, I did not

1370
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 9: realize Schottenheimer was the coach of the Cowboys.

1371
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 4: I had completely forgotten.

1372
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 9: Yes, Shot and Seat Nimer kept wanting to say Scottie Shottenheimer.

1373
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 9: I'm like, that's wrong anyway. Calling Dak Prescott a developmental

1374
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 9: is still in a developmental phase. Dak Prescott was in

1375
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 9: college last when before, like Dak Prescott was out of

1376
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 9: college when I started my Lions podcast, which was ten

1377
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 9: years ago.

1378
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 4: He's not developmental. So I looked at the total.

1379
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 9: Their total now sits in Vegas seven and a half

1380
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 9: wins for a very listless Dallas club. This year America's

1381
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 9: team over in a half, seven a half wins. Whatch

1382
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 9: you got, guys?

1383
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 2: Well, last year I picked Dallas to win the Super Bowl,

1384
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 2: as you know, that was my That was my pick

1385
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 2: last year. I thought, you know, after so many close calls.

1386
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Remember they were coming off a stretch of twelve thirteen

1387
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 2: win seasons and I killed them early on.

1388
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 3: Seven and a half. Brilliant, that's what the number is.

1389
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 4: That low schedule, tough, that's why it's there.

1390
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I say this, and I think VGA

1391
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 2: would agree. The Commanders as unbelievable as they were a

1392
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 2: year ago, I think they take a little bit of

1393
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 2: a step backwards before they move forward always. So I'm

1394
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 2: going to go over here. I think the Cowboys can

1395
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 2: certainly go eight and nine. I mean, to me, like

1396
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 2: a nine and eighteen is what I'm looking at with

1397
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 2: Dallas right now. There's still plenty of talent just about

1398
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 2: like keeping guys healthy.

1399
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,479
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll go over. Seven and a half.

1400
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 4: Part of the schedule is kind of average.

1401
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 8: That me.

1402
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 4: They open up on that Thursday night game first year

1403
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 4: against the Eagles, when they'll drop their banner for the

1404
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. That's an l. But then after that you

1405
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 4: have the Giants. They're at the Bears winnable, Packers at

1406
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 4: Home winnable, the Jets at the Panthers, and then the Commanders,

1407
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 4: Broncos and Cardinals. I can see a lot of teams

1408
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 4: that are like getting hype for some of them exactly.

1409
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't think the Cardinals are going

1410
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 4: there beating them. They can go to Denver. It's not

1411
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 4: gonna be cold, it's gonna be only October twenty six.

1412
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 4: At that point when they go to Denver to play,

1413
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 4: I think they maybe get four or five wins out

1414
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 4: of there. And then coming down the stretch, coming down

1415
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 4: the stretches not as hard as you know, people would

1416
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 4: think it's Homi gets the Chargers at the Commanders. You

1417
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 4: know who's going to be heard, who's going to be available.

1418
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 4: And then they finished off and met life against the Giants.

1419
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 4: Give me the old run with you on this, Steve

1420
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 4: seven and a half seems kind of low. They added

1421
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 4: a receiver. Everybody loves the move that they've made. Dak

1422
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 4: missed last year. Guys, remember so that comes back the

1423
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 4: year's deck's played.

1424
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 3: They've win ten plus games when joh He was second

1425
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 3: in the NBC voted.

1426
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 4: Right, So I think this is based off of last year,

1427
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,479
Speaker 4: but I don't know if they added in the fact

1428
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 4: that Dak was out and miss most of the year

1429
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 4: because of the injury. Give me the over here, this

1430
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 4: is easy for me. Seven.

1431
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 9: I think they are ten wins over both of Okay, well,

1432
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 9: that one goes in the spreadsheet. We'll eventually get to

1433
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 9: the whole season. Finally, guys. Personal one for me. I

1434
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 9: was tooling around last night, got dinner out, went to Wendy's,

1435
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 9: which is a terrible decision.

1436
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 4: Usually for me.

1437
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 3: I like their chicken sandwiches. So they're chilli.

1438
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 9: No absolutely no, no, no, god no, no wrong. So

1439
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 9: the story is about the chicken sandwich. I got the chicken.

1440
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 9: Usually it's a big piece of you know, fried chicken.

1441
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 9: But it's like the chicken breast. It's it's good. It's

1442
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 9: why I like going there. I guess they must have

1443
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 9: been out because when I opened up the wrapper when

1444
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 9: I got home, it was two of the crispy chickens

1445
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 9: pattie patties put together. It was, but it was two

1446
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 9: of them stacked on the butt with the lettuce and cheese.

1447
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, who does this?

1448
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 9: So I look, I'm kind of between grocery trips. I

1449
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 9: will probably end up at Wendy's at some point in

1450
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 9: the next three days over and under one and a

1451
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 9: half chicken patties from my next trip to Wendy's.

1452
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 4: Uh, you'll get on this, they'll get they'll get. A

1453
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 4: right question I have for you is did you go

1454
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 4: through the drive through? I did, and that's why you

1455
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 4: got the sandwich you got because they know head on

1456
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 4: the app they should have idear detail. You remember Joe

1457
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 4: Pesci and lethal weapons. When they get what do they say?

1458
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 4: It goes? They bleep you with the drive through. They

1459
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 4: know you're gonna be too far away to turn around

1460
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 4: and come back. They know what they were doing when

1461
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 4: they made that stands I've come back before.

1462
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 10: I'll say, under man, they get it right for you.

1463
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 10: They get it right for you next time. That's okay,

1464
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 10: but that begs the question. Then are you gonna do

1465
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 10: the next time you're going? Are you going through the

1466
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 10: drive through?

1467
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 3: Do you ever go again?

1468
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 2: Of course I walk. Then I'm gonna go over. They're

1469
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 2: gonna do what they're gonna do it to you again.

1470
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 4: By the way. How many times?

1471
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 3: And then we're all veterans of the drive through. How

1472
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 3: many times have you gotten some error in your order

1473
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 3: when you all went up the bag.

1474
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 4: This is the first time in a while I've had.

1475
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 3: An air and it's happened to all of them.

1476
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 4: I sink the last time I.

1477
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 10: Have ever gone back. I'm not gonna I've around, I'm

1478
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:12,479
Speaker 10: gone back.

1479
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 2: I've gotten somebody's complete order, somebody if someone gave me

1480
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 2: an extra I got an extra order from someone else

1481
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 2: at Taco Bell one time.

1482
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:21,759
Speaker 9: But I think the last time I had a serious

1483
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 9: error was at Wendy's. I was getting their breakfast burrito

1484
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 9: and a there was no sausage in it, so it

1485
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 9: was just egg and the and the you know, because

1486
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 9: There's burritos are usually like sausage, sausage, eggs and potatoes.

1487
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 9: They gave me one with no sausage, and instead of

1488
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 9: the breakfast potatoes, it was French fries.

1489
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 4: Eh.

1490
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I had a similar d I did a

1491
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 2: like a I mean this Wendy's, this Wedndy's. They like

1492
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 2: summing stuff in I did it. I had an all

1493
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 2: night McDonald's one time. This has got to be twelve

01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 3: I opened my back as it was heavy.

01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 2: Two giant fries, no burger, hell to giant fries.

1500

Speaker 4: Hey, Like, what happened here? Guy, Chris? Have you ever

1616
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin, Bja Husky. Here, Fox

1617
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday. We're in the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,

1618
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 2: we have NFL news involving wide receivers.

1619
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's start.

1620
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: With a wild rumor that is simply that the Tyreek

1621
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:59,440
Speaker 2: Kill is potentially on the trading block by the Miami Dolphins.

1622
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 3: It was a weird year.

1623
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 8: To me.

1624
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 2: One of the most unexplained happenings of what transpired in

1625
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four was the lack of production from Tyreek Hill. Now,

1626
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 2: I know his quarterback was down, but he had never

1627
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 2: not made the Pro Bowl.

1628
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 3: I mean, he was eight for eight and this guy's

1629
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer.

1630
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 2: Back to back seventeen hundred yard plus seasons with the Dolphins,

1631
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 2: didn't even get to one thousand yards a year ago

1632
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 2: despite starting all seventeen games, averaged less than twelve yards

1633
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 2: of catch, and he had just five touchdowns.

1634
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 3: In other words, the Tyreek Hill that we had seen

1635
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 3: for the.

1636
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 2: Previous eight years disappeared in twenty twenty four. Now technically

1637
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 2: he could be traded, Realistically he can't because of the

1638
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,799
Speaker 2: size of his contract. I mean at twenty eight million,

1639
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 2: I mean, no one's going to take that on from

1640
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 2: the wide receiver spot. I ask you this though about

1641
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill. He's passed that age now thirty, heading into

1642
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 2: his tenth year in the NFL. Like I said, this

1643
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 2: guy's already got a ticket punch for the Hall of Fame.

1644
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,719
Speaker 2: But we see these receivers, they go off the cliff,

1645
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 2: just like quarterbacks do.

1646
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 3: Has Tyreek Hill gone off the cliff?

1647
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 2: Are we ever gonna see anywhere near the production we've

1648
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 2: seen in the past with Tyreek Hill?

1649
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna see it this upcoming season. If oos

1650
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 4: is there. I mean, you talk about his quarterback not

1651
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 4: being there, and the whole back end of the story

1652
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 4: is not only was his quarterback not there, he had

1653
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 4: to play with three different guys. We got three different

1654
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 4: guys taking a snap.

1655
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 3: Well, then he did that a couple of years ago.

1656
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 4: Everything only for three games, though there was only three

1657
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 4: games that Oos was out that year. Oosmiss seven games.

1658
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 4: Last year he was out for eight weeks. And there

1659
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 4: was a time when the Dolph they couldn't score more

1660
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 4: than sixteen points. They couldn't move the ball, these quarterbacks.

1661
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 4: And I told you this, We said, it's doing courcial break.

1662
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 4: We have the worst backup room in the league. In

1663
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 4: my opinion, it's the worst backup room. Everybody knows how

1664
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,640
Speaker 4: Phil about Zach Wilson, I felt that way about it

1665
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,759
Speaker 4: was that BYU during his little COVID year when everybody

1666
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 4: wanted to put that film, and I said, okay, fine,

1667
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 4: put on the two thousand and nineteen film Guys, where

1668
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 4: he had to play a full season and play real

1669
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 4: rosters and play a real college football season. And that's

1670
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 4: the film I would golf, not the twenty twenty film

1671
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 4: that ended up being in a ball game against Coastal Carolina,

1672
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,879
Speaker 4: And most listeners can't name someone from Coast to Carolina,

1673
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 4: like that's the defense he was going to get it

1674
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 4: in that game. He couldn't move to football, so it

1675
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 4: took one across his body Pro day throw to make

1676
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 4: everybody go googly. I was like, we do with the

1677
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 4: Pro Days, but no, I think it's back this year.

1678
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 4: It's all gonna be on Who's he's down in Weig.

1679
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 4: There's something else I told you too that I like

1680
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 4: to hear from grown men sometimes that are pro athletes.

1681
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 4: When you got a little adversity in your life man personally,

1682
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 4: a lot of times what you do is you lock

1683
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 4: into work right, work as an escape. It really is

1684
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 4: when you got some things, it's all out there. Everybody knows.

1685
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 4: He said it the other day press conference, going through

1686
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 4: a divorce in therapy. He just looks locked in. Last year,

1687
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 4: it looked a little weird for me. And I watch

1688
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 4: everything Dolphins, guys, because it's my team. I watch every SNAPA,

1689
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 4: watch every press conference. I go to YouTube. I watch

1690
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 4: all the pressers with the players say with the coaches saying.

1691
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 4: I'm a Dolphin fan, so I make sure I keep

1692
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 4: up the breast on everything. It looks like the Tyreek

1693
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 4: from lad two years ago. In the year before that

1694
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 4: was just the focus in his face, the way he's

1695
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 4: talking last year felt like that he was smelling himself

1696
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 4: a little bit. It did, And sometimes in life you

1697
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 4: need a little humble pie, and I think he got

1698
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 4: some humble pie knowing all right, Without Oos, I'm nothing

1699
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 4: like I can't. I can't. I'm not even a thousand

1700
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 4: yard receiver. If we don't have this offense clicking the

1701
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 4: way it needs to click. I do think that that

1702
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 4: comes back. I think they'll lean more in a running game.

1703
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 4: Two years ago, the no more rushing team in the league,

1704
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel made his bones as a coach being the

1705
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 4: run coordinator for the Washington Redskins and for excuse me,

1706
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 4: the Redskins when they were the Redskins but now the Commanders,

1707
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 4: and for the forty nine ers he was on the

1708
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 4: Shanahan he was the run game coordinator. So they running

1709
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 4: game looked like right, Deebo Samuel Stars are running back

1710
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 4: right exactly a few other guys there too. So I

1711
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 4: think they get back the running the year ball you

1712
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 4: and I think this is a big year for h

1713
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 4: and I think that all helped Tyree listen. If OOS

1714
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 4: plays fourteen games, Tyreek's fifteen hundred yard receiver man ten

1715
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 4: to plus touchdowns that's that's just what he's gonna do.

1716
01:18:58,280 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 4: All right.

1717
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 2: We're coming up to the top of the hour here,

1718
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,879
Speaker 2: so I want to sort of carry a little.

1719
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 3: Of this over on the other side. But a quick

1720
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 3: read on Stephan Diggs.

1721
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna get a little more in depth on the

1722
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 2: situation of the Patriots. But if I mean, there's all

1723
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 2: kinds of rumors right now, because you know it failed

1724
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 2: to show up for OTAs if he were to be

1725
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 2: released by the Patriots, what kind of market do you

1726
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 2: think there is for Stephan Diggs? I'm with you, like, like,

1727
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 2: why why would you bring up and we were talking

1728
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 2: about this off air.

1729
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 3: I mean, did the Bills miss him a year ago?

1730
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 4: Nope?

1731
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 3: Have the Vikings missed him since he left?

1732
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 4: Nope?

1733
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so Stephan Diggs is one of those guys, And look, God,

1734
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 2: that's fine.

1735
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 3: You want to you want to believe how great you are.

1736
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 2: And it's not that he hasn't had an outstanding NFL career,

1737
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 2: obviously he has. But the idea that I'm somehow untouchable

1738
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 2: or I can walk to my own beat, I don't

1739
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 2: have to answer to anybody at this point in your career,

1740
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: tex Me be in for a very rude awakening.

1741
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 4: Remember to Texas reworked this deal up to the trade

1742
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 4: to guarantee him that money because they knew he was

1743
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 4: a one year rental.

1744
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 2: All right, why are OTAs necessary?

1745
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it. This is Fox Sports Sunday. Oh,

Speaker 2: two two of the NBA Finals, which is absolutely crazy

1774
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 2: to me. I have a quick story to share here

1775
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:22,520
Speaker 2: about OTAs.

1776
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 3: So this is back in the day when I was

1777
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 3: in the San Diego area.

1778
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 2: We are the flagship station of the Chargers and Bobby Bethard,

1779
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,640
Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer, was the general manager of the

1780
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 2: Chargers at the time, and this.

1781
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 3: Is a pretty good run mid nineties. Remember they did

1782
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 3: get to a super.

1783
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 4: Bowl during that run, absolutely and Bobby Ross was one

1784
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 4: of my favorite people.

1785
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean when he came aboard they got to the

1786
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:46,839
Speaker 2: playoffs first time in ten years. I just loved his demeanor.

1787
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 2: We had two interviews each week with Coach Ross. We

1788
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 2: love the guy.

1789
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 3: So anyway, they had.

1790
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 2: OTAs happening and one guy that did not show up

1791
01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 2: was Junior.

1792
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 3: Say so, Junior the best player on the team and

1793
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 3: leader on that team.

1794
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 2: And so my partner and I were down at Charger

1795
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 2: practice and Bobby Bether sees us. He knows who we are,

1796
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 2: and he did something he had never done before. He goes, hey,

1797
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 2: Steve Billy, Billy, weren't out my partner. He goes, hey,

1798
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 2: join me down here, let's watch a little football together.

1799
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 2: We're like, what, like if there's other media people, but

1800
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 2: you know, we have the radio show. So we're on

1801
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 2: the field like during the practice, you know, and he's

1802
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 2: talking about this and watch.

1803
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 3: This guy and all this kind of stuff.

1804
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 2: And it was so out of left fields, like why

1805
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 2: are we doing this?

1806
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 3: And then he starts springing up Junior sound.

1807
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, you know, I'm a little disappointed, you know,

1808
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,759
Speaker 2: like Junior should be here. He's one of the leaders

1809
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 2: of this team, you know. And so immediately we went

1810
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 2: back to do our radio show, because we actually did

1811
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: the show after we out on the practice field.

1812
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 3: So we're calling out Junior, like, you know, we're out on.

1813
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 2: The field, right and we really, you know, I think

1814
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,719
Speaker 2: it's I think he needs to be you know, because

1815
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,440
Speaker 2: you are a leader on this team.

1816
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 3: Well, as it turned out, guess who's showing up the

1817
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 3: next day? Junior sayout.

1818
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 2: So we go out to practice and you know, again,

1819
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 2: we had the run of the place the day before.

1820
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 2: So we start walking on the field. The PR guy goes,

1821
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 2: where are you going? You think you got it? Said, yeah,

1822
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 2: you got it. He goes, no, you guys served your purpose.

1823
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 2: You went on your radio show, called out Junior. He

1824
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 2: showed up. Get back to where you used us, used us.

1825
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,600
Speaker 2: But it did bought him a good point though, And

1826
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned it briefly earlier about OTAs that obviously if

1827
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 2: you got a new quarterback, new coach, new system, rookie players,

1828
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 2: all these guys, you know, it is voluntary. Uh, the

1829
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 2: players Association deems as such. But you need your leaders

1830
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 2: out there. And this is why we we talked about

1831
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and you know everything else. But uh, yeah, that

1832
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 2: was a prime example of getting you used by a

1833
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 2: general manager smartly because he really sold us on it.

1834
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 2: Uh And Junior Sale did show up and he should be.

1835
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 2: And that's that's why these OTAs. You know, you don't

1836
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:11,520
Speaker 2: want to get people hurt.

1837
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 3: You know, this non contact, that's not that kind of thing.

1838
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 3: It's just sort of bringing everybody together because you remember,

1839
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 3: you're gonna have over a month off where everyone's gone

1840
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 3: their own way during the summer before you start training camp,

1841
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 3: start everything, all right?

1842
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 2: So you got mini camps, got OTAs you know, and

1843
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 2: it's just more of a little just.

1844
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 3: A little bonding. Hello.

1845
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,240

Speaker 3: I'm already That starts with team leaders.

1848
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 4: I believe two type of people should show up for everything.

1849
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 4: Two type of people in the NFL should show up

1850
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,880

1866
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 4: to free agents. If you just signed with a team,

1867
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 4: don't you think you should be there? Like learning the system,

1868
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 4: learning your quarterback, learning this learning, just learning where to drive,

1869

Speaker 4: the dry cleaners are, like just learning everything that is

1871
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 4: going to help you in the regular season. I coach

1872
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 4: high school football in Birmingham. I tell the kids all

1873
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 4: the time, we just broke our spring practice. We have

1874
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 4: two weeks off. We're back June ninth. And this is

1875
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 4: high school guys. We started our summer practice June ninth.

1876
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 4: Our first game is not till August twenty second. Steve

1877
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,679
Speaker 4: start that Monday. And I tell the kids, you don't

1878
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 4: get better in October and November. You get better in March, April, May, June,

1879
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 4: and July. So on fourth and two down at Norabahd,

1880
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 4: down six with a minut and a half left, what

1881
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 4: you did that game is not going what's gonna get

1882
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 4: you those two yards? It's what you did in March

1883
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 4: and April and June. How much waste did you live?

1884
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 4: How many times did you show up to practice on time?

1885
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 4: How many times did you get with your teammates and

1886
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 4: learn more about the play but talk about skis, Hey,

1887
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 4: if the corner does this, so, if the linebacker does

1888
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 4: this or that. Stuff you do during this time for

1889
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 4: players to feel like, you know, even a Miles Garrett,

1890
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 4: I get Bro, you're the leader. That's why you could

1891
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 4: have played this Japan trip some other time. You knew

1892
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 4: when these OTAs were, you got a guy like your

1893
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 4: door coming in and everybody wants to scrutinize this kid.

1894
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,560
Speaker 4: You're the leader. You probably should have showed up, and

1895
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 4: it just gave you the biggest non quarterback contract. You

1896
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,919
Speaker 4: could have just planned this, you know, just Japan vacation

1897
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 4: another time, you plan knowing this one the OCAs were.

1898
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 4: I just frowned on that because I like camaraderie. I

1899
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 4: think it's the most important thing. And that's why the

1900
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 4: Patriots were a dynasty, the Cowboys were a dynasty, the

1901
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 4: Niners were a dynasty. What all those guys talk about,

1902
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 4: Steve when they're gone from the game, what do they

1903
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 4: miss the most?

1904
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Steve camaraderie, carderie of the guys, camaraderie.

1905
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 4: They've said it, so I'm not just pulling it out

1906
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 4: of a hat. Ladies and gentlemen.

1907
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't like to use the military term of like

1908
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: going to war with guys, but I mean essentially you are.

1909
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if a warrior battle, whatever term,

1910
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 2: you got to have my back and everything. It is

1911
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 2: every down that was that That's my biggest takeaway working

1912
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 2: for a team as I did. It's seeing these guys

1913
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 2: at day in and day out in the locker room,

1914
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 2: in the locker room and seeing these legends and embracing

1915
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 2: young guys and teaching them the ways, and and and

1916
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 2: then the course of the season, how a team will

1917
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:51,560
Speaker 2: just come together.

1918
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 3: You know, one battle after another, week after week.

1919
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 4: What do you think those veterans in New England think

1920
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 4: right now? What do you think that young quarterback that

1921
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 4: good that just got drafted thinks right now?

1922
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 2: Well, and like you said, I think we're on the

1923
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 2: same page as far as Stefan Diggs.

1924
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:05,799
Speaker 3: What are you doing? We need a year now?

1925
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 4: You're a video right like we see what you're doing.

1926
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's a guy that's already checked out. That's

1927
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 2: the way I look at that. By the way, I

1928
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 2: was reminded again because Aaron Rodgers and until he makes

1929
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 2: a final decision at some point it's got.

1930
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 3: You know, either one way or the other. But I

1931
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 3: was reminded of this.

1932
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 2: So Brett Farr was traded to the Jets, played out

1933
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 2: his deal, he goes to the Vikings. He did not

1934
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 2: sign with the Vikings until August eighteenth. Oh yeah, he didn't,

1935
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 2: and then went on to have one of the best

1936
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 2: seasons of his career, came within a bad pass, bad

1937
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 2: decision at the end of the game to get the

1938
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 2: Vikings into the Super Bowl. Do you think do you

1939
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 2: think Aaron Rodgers thinks, well, if Brett Farv could do that, now,

1940
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 2: Brett Faarr was almost forty when.

1941
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 4: He did that, Yes, I do think he takets that.

1942
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 3: He's like, well, if Brett Farr can wait until August

1943
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 3: eighteenth actually sign with the team, why can't I do it?

1944
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 4: As Adrian Peterson are running back on any of the teams,

1945
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 4: He's going to sign on because that show did.

1946
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 2: Help brettan barb ran a phenomenally year that he did,

1947
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 2: but Peters corson next year his arm fell off and

1948
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 2: that was.

1949
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 3: The end of the career.

1950
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 4: Right in that one year. He put it all in

1951
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 4: that one.

1952
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 2: Year, but he did not sign with the Vikings until

1953
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 2: literally what three weeks before the season began.

1954
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 4: And it's not a recipe that I would pass on

1955
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 4: to any youngster to do or any other.

1956
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 2: Well, but if you're the Steelers, which you know they're

1957
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 2: still holding out Hope for some reason said that's the

1958
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 2: other thing.

1959
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 3: If you're if you're sitting in that Steeler locker room

1960
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,719
Speaker 3: right now, right and the players are talking.

1961
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 2: Obviously you've got Mason Rudolph who's there. He actually played

1962
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 2: a few good games down the stretch a couple of

1963
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 2: years ago. You got the kid. Obviously you've drafted a quarterback.

1964
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 2: So you're like, what do we really need this Aaron

1965
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 2: Rodgers guy? And is he just gonna show up in

1966
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 2: the middle of training camp and like say, hey, I'm here.

1967
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 4: Okay, Does it make you Steve lose a little bit

1968
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:58,599
Speaker 4: of respect for to steal it?

1969
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 3: Does just Camble? I saw the only one.

1970
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 4: No, it's like this franchise right right, they super Bowls?

1971
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you do You haven't worried about

1972
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 4: a forty year old diva like narcissists? Not all about him?

1973
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 3: Sell, Well, you have a while Hall of Fame coach.

1974
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,520
Speaker 3: Okay had three coaches since nineteen sixty.

1975
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 4: Nine, right, right?

1976
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 2: And why are you putting yourself through this? Yeah, and

1977
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 2: you're not listen and Brett for what I mean bread,

1978
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 2: maybe he has when you say Brett, maybe he does

1979
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 2: come in and have a year.

1980
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 3: But you're not building your future on rot.

1981
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 4: They don't have the weapons there, they don't have the

1982
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,719
Speaker 4: Jimmies and Joe's. They're like that Viking. That Vikings team

1983
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 4: was literally a quarter back away to be a contender.

1984
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 4: And like Steve said, they get to the conference championship game,

1985
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 4: Brett throws across his body trying to make him play

1986
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 4: lay in the game, Saints pick it off and then

1987
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,800
Speaker 4: the Saints going end up having a Porter pick six

1988
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 4: against Manning in the Super Bowl to get Champagne and

1989
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 4: Drew Brees that championship. But if you add Aaron Rodgers,

1990
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:58,560
Speaker 4: we could take a poll. If you add Aaron Rodgers

1991
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,919
Speaker 4: to the Steelers, are they all of a sudden AFC

1992
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 4: Championship gameer Super Bowl contenders? Absolutely not. The AFC is

1993
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 4: loaded this year. Well, that division right alone? Is that

1994
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 4: division here, you're the third best team and then who knows,

1995
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 4: we don't know what, no exactly, we have no idea

1996
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 4: what Cleve is gonna be. But I can tell you

1997
01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 4: what Baltimore is gonna be. I can tell you what

1998
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,639
Speaker 4: Cincinnati's gonna be. They're both gonna be twelve win teams. Well,

1999
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 4: Cincinnati will see if.

2000
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 2: The defense, well they got they gotta get some yah,

2001
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:27,599
Speaker 2: gotta get some defense.

2002
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 4: But we know what Baltimore is gonna be. We know

2003
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 4: what the Chargers are gonna be. We know what the

2004
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 4: Bills are gonna be. We know what the Chiefs are

2005
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 4: gonna be. The AFC is not to be played with.

2006
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 4: So if you're if you're the Steelers, you're telling me,

2007
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 4: if you add Aaron Rodgers, you all of a sudden know. Man.

2008
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 4: It just makes me look at this franchise like you

2009
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 4: guys are playing like the desperate homecoming guy, Like you're

2010
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 4: just waiting and waiting for that girl to say she'll

2011
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 4: go with you, and she's gonna wait until seven thirty

2012
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 4: of the night of homecoming to make her decision because

2013
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 4: she's testing out all the other guys. You're the last option.

2014
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 4: And that would make me look at my boy and go, hey, man, bro,

2015
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 4: do you make yourself look bad if she hasn't chosen

2016
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 4: you yet? For Homecoming Day. Just go do something else.

2017
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:09,759
Speaker 3: I agree.

2018
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 2: I think they got to be talking about it right

2019
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 2: now on those OTAs in Pittsburgh.

2020
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:13,519
Speaker 3: All right.

2021
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 2: On the other side, we're gonna be talking about a

2022
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 2: rematch in the Stanley Cup Final.

2023
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna be talking some Major League Baseball.

2024
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 3: This Otawny Judge thing is just off the charts. John

2025
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 3: Palmer ROSSI will join us.

2026
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:32,520
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Hartman and Husky Fox Sports.

2027
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:34,759
Speaker 3: Sunday once again here in our.

2028
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios. Well, it is certainly a tree

2029
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 2: for us. I'm sure it is for you as well.

2030
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 2: To be joined by one of the most versatile people

2031
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 2: in our industry. Doesn't matter what we talk about. He's

2032
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 2: got an opinion, educated opinion. We're talking about the one,

2033
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 2: the only, our Fox Sports Radio MLB analyst, the great

2034
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 2: John Palm Morosi, JP, thanks for joining us here on

2035
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 2: this first day at June already it's like June first.

2036
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 3: We had a lot of.

2037
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 2: Things to cover, but I want to get right to it,

2038
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 2: starting with the Stanley Cuff Final. So it's the NBA Finals,

2039
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 2: but it's the Stanley Cuff Final. On rematch, a rematch.

2040
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 2: I know this for many years. It's a rematch from

2041
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,839
Speaker 2: a year ago. I guess the question is can Edmonton

2042
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 2: get their revenge and become the first Canadian based team

2043
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 2: to win the Stanley Cuff since the Canadians way back

2044
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety three.

2045
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 6: I believe they can. I believe they will. And a

2046
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 6: couple things to me stand out. Number One, on the

2047
01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:37,599
Speaker 6: back end, we saw Evan Bouchard have a really good

2048
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 6: Western Conference final. I believe he could be a difference

2049
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 6: maker for the Oilers in this series. Ryan Nugent Hopkins upfront,

2050
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 6: I think is playing at an extraordinarily high level. He's

2051
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 6: been an Oiler for his entire career. His playmaking ability

2052
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 6: is his next level. And Stuart Skinner and goal is

2053
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 6: better now than he was a year ago. And of

2054
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 6: course I have intentionally not yet mentioned McDavid and dry

2055
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 6: because we we just assume they're going to be great,

2056
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 6: and they were great last year, they'll be great again.

2057
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,679
Speaker 6: But it's a supporting cast that I see as being

2058
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 6: a little better this year than it was a year ago,

2059
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 6: and certainly solving. Butbrovski will not be easy, dealing with

2060
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 6: the physicality of Koshok, dealing with Barkoval, that he does.

2061
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 6: The Panthers now have Seth Jones, who they didn't have

2062
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 6: a year ago. They have Marshand who they didn't have

2063
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 6: a year ago, So it's it's probably a better Florida

2064
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,759
Speaker 6: team too. I just think Edmonton is a more complete roster,

2065
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 6: playing closer to their potential. Yes, they're good. They're gonna

2066
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 6: miss Zach Hyman. That's a huge loss, but in general,

2067
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 6: I like Edmonton's chances, and then we know they were

2068
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 6: the better team for the second half of that series

2069
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 6: last year. It just so happened that the Panthers came

2070
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 6: back in one game seven. This year, I believe it

2071
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 6: is the year for Edmonton, the year for Canada, and

2072
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 6: I'm expecting it to be another great classic Stanley Cup final.

2073
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 4: My man J. P. Morosi was going on by the

2074
01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 4: how's Mama Morosi doing? J?

2075
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 6: And I got to tell you this. I've been thinking

2076
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 6: about this conversation for a while in saying, how am

2077
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:09,160
Speaker 6: I going to give VJ some some positivity about the Rangers?

2078
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 6: And it's been a bit of a struggle. My friend.

2079
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 6: I'm trying to help you out here, but I don't

2080
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:17,599
Speaker 6: have a whole lot of positivity to latch onto right now, Rangers.

2081
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 4: And that's why I don't have a Ranger's question, because

2082
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 4: I saw my name big game Nate went on the

2083
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 4: IL and I'm just like, okay, listen, I don't even

2084
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 4: want to talk then today. I want to stick with

2085
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 4: championship type stuff. You gotta Stanley Cup champion. I want

2086
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 4: to ask you about these NBA finals. Steve thinks this

2087
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 4: is a wipe. Most people do tell me if I'm crazy,

2088
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:37,639
Speaker 4: if I'm thinking this can be a six or seven

2089
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,640
Speaker 4: game series when you're looking into you talking about the

2090
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 4: number two, offense number one and field goal percentage number

2091
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,360
Speaker 4: five and blocks thirteenth. In defense, we already know what

2092
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 4: OKC is, but this team can throw a lot of

2093
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 4: guys at SGA on the perimeter to defend him. They

2094
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:54,640
Speaker 4: have them hard. You got Haller Burdon that can defend him.

2095
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 4: You know, isn't a great defender. But then you also

2096
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 4: have guys like Shepherd, you have Mathern. They got bodies.

2097
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 4: They can throw it as get I don't think they

2098
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 4: can stop him, but just to kind of get in

2099
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 4: his way. Are you on Steve side of this as

2100
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 4: a wipe or do I got something that this thing

2101
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:11,719
Speaker 4: can be a six or seven game series.

2102
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 6: It can absolutely be a six or a seven game series.

2103
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 6: I think it's important to remember the quality. I know

2104
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 6: it didn't look that way at the very end, but

2105
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 6: the quality of the Knicks throughout this postseason and the

2106
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,639
Speaker 6: next top of the team that people were giving them

2107
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:31,560
Speaker 6: no chance to beat in Boston, and then the Pacers

2108
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:35,040
Speaker 6: turn around and beat the Knicks. So I think that

2109
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 6: we're we're going a little bit too far into the

2110
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 6: regular season track record if we're saying that this is okay. See,

2111
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 6: without a doubt, Sga is phenomenal. We know that. I

2112
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 6: think you look at the clinching game last night, how

2113
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 6: great Siakam played. He was phenomenal. Haliburton is an emerging

2114
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 6: legend of the game right now. I think the way

2115
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 6: that he is playing right now, he certainly calling Reggie

2116
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:03,680
Speaker 6: Miller and all all the greats of the Pacers, and

2117
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,640
Speaker 6: and I love that these are two franchises that we

2118
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 6: don't necessarily think of as being the gold standard teams

2119
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 6: in the history of the league. It's it's newer teams.

2120
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 6: If you're a more casual fan, I would say the Pacers,

2121
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 6: of course, have never won the NBA Finals that's a

2122
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 6: nice fresh story o case. He has won it, of

2123
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,679
Speaker 6: course once before. But I I like, I like this matchup,

2124
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,200
Speaker 6: and I listen, I love SGA as well. But I

2125
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 6: think the way that the Siakam closed out that series

2126
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:34,600
Speaker 6: and Haliburton he out Brunson Brunson in in that in

2127
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 6: that series, right, And I just I think that he, uh,

2128
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 6: he gives this team a legitimate chance. It's hard to

2129
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 6: win in Indianapolis with the way the crowd is there

2130
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 6: and in the atmosphere. I think that he And then again,

2131
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 6: Carlisle is a great coach you're going up against, been

2132
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 6: there so many different times. I I trust Rick Carlisle

2133
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 6: in a spot like this. So I think it's going

2134
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 6: to be at least a six game series. I'm hoping

2135
01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 6: it's a classic.

2136
01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:59,599
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm going to say to you when

2137
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 2: I said Earl to Vja, I hope you're right, but

2138
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,560
Speaker 2: I think you're wrong. I got this OKAC team I

2139
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 2: think is going to be one for the ages.

2140
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 3: All right, let's get back to baseball. So yesterday was

2141
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts' birthday. I know this because it's was also

2142
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 3: my younger son's birthday, and the Dodgers, like, so, what

2143
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 3: can we do for the skip?

2144
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, how about an eighteen to two blowout

2145
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 2: against the Yankees, But let's put that aside and just

2146
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 2: talk about Aaron Judge and show Hey Otani. I mean,

2147
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 2: the first game on Friday, Judge hits a four hundred

2148
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:34,440
Speaker 2: and fifty foot bomb to dead center, and then Otani

2149
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:38,160
Speaker 2: first pitch in the bottom of the first matches that

2150
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:42,599
Speaker 2: home run. I love the historical perspective that you and

2151
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,639
Speaker 2: I share on all this, but I want to hear

2152
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 2: your side of it. When we're watching Aaron Judge and

2153
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 2: show Hey Otani in real time what we're watching right

2154
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:55,759
Speaker 2: now put some perspective in terms of what baseball fans

2155
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 2: are being treated to.

2156
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 6: Well, Steve, I'll put it to you this way. I

2157
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:05,440
Speaker 6: can't think in my career of covering Major League Baseball

2158
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:12,680
Speaker 6: of a regular season series that featured two not just

2159
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 6: generational talents, but all time talents playing for iconic franchises

2160
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 6: of this caliber and at the absolute peak of their powers,

2161
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 6: all at the same time. And we just got done

2162
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 6: talking about NBA Finals, and we're used to the NBA

2163
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 6: Finals boiling down to two players because you know that

2164
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 6: whether it's Burden magic or at different times in the

2165
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 6: history of the game, Kobe others that they're going to

2166
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 6: have the ball in their hands basically half the time,

2167
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 6: in terms of half the possessions. At least, they're gonna

2168
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 6: get a chance to take a ton of shots, and

2169
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 6: there's gonna be a real rhythm of two players. It's

2170
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 6: so different in baseball. You only bat one out of

2171
01:39:55,360 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 6: nine times, and so the odds of great player performing

2172
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:06,639
Speaker 6: at their best simultaneously on a stage like this Dodger

2173
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 6: Stadium with the Yankees and Dodgers World Series rematch all

2174
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 6: that context, it just doesn't happen this easily in this sport,

2175
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 6: and they're making it look like this is routine and

2176
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 6: it's not. And so my advice to everybody who's a

2177
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 6: sports fan, whether you love baseball or not, try to

2178
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 6: pause watch the game tonight. We don't have hockey going

2179
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 6: on tonight, we don't have basketball going on tonight. The

2180
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 6: NFL Draft is long gone. Focus on this moment in

2181
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 6: time seeing these two teams play at the most beautiful

2182
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 6: stadium in our country in my opinion, and watch what

2183
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:46,839
Speaker 6: they're doing. And of course the Dodgers have other stars

2184
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:50,240
Speaker 6: The Yankees have other stars, but Judge at Otani are

2185
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,720
Speaker 6: the draws, and we are I really think we are

2186
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 6: being treated to all time seasons by all time players.

2187
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:02,599
Speaker 6: Judge is by many metrics, a better all around player

2188
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 6: now than when he hit sixty two homers. Is that great?

2189
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:09,040
Speaker 6: He's that great, I mean, and they're both they're both

2190
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:10,760
Speaker 6: great citizens of the game as well. So I just

2191
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 6: I cannot wait to see the way that's unfolds tonight.

2192
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 2: I just got to read his line right now, Aaron

2193
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:22,560
Speaker 2: Judge is hitting three ninety eight, four ninety on base percentage,

2194
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 2: seven seventy eight slugging percentage. That's an ops of twelve

2195
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 2: sixty eight, leads the majors in all four Yeah, these

2196
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 2: are I mean again, these are Ruthian numbers. Ted Williams

2197
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 2: like numbers, Barry Bonds on ped numbers. That's what we're

2198
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 2: looking at right now. And by the way, while that's

2199
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:45,839
Speaker 2: going on, Shohei Otani is on pace to possibly break

2200
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:49,559
Speaker 2: the record for most runs scored in a season, held

2201
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 2: by Babe Ruth back in nineteen twenty one.

2202
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 3: Wow, crazyness.

2203
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:57,559
Speaker 6: That's and that's where it's important too to bring in

2204
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 6: when you're talking about the historical comparison. It's not just

2205
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:05,960
Speaker 6: the raw numbers, but that's where the If you look

2206
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:09,639
Speaker 6: at baseball reference dot com, which most serious baseball fans

2207
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 6: love it, it's it's a great place to go for insight.

2208
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 6: The thing about the judge numbers that stands out to

2209
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:19,639
Speaker 6: me is it's the OPS plus. Now OPS plus means

2210
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:24,599
Speaker 6: it's it's adjusted for the league run scoring environment and

2211
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,800
Speaker 6: for what other hitters are doing in the same ballparks

2212
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:32,600
Speaker 6: in the same year he has correct it gives you

2213
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 6: a historical comparison. So in twenty twenty two, when he

2214
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 6: hit sixty two homers, his ops plus was two ten,

2215
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 6: which means he was one hundred and ten percent better,

2216
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 6: because it's one hundred and ten beyond one hundred to ten,

2217
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 6: one hundred ten percent better than the average hitter in

2218
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 6: the league.

2219
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 8: At that time.

2220
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 6: Right now, to your point, Steve, he's at two fifty three.

2221
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:59,640
Speaker 6: He is he is forty percentage points better than he

2222
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 6: was when he set the record. It's just unbelievable what

2223
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 6: he's doing right now, and he's slugging seven seventy eight.

2224
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 6: These are things that just do not happen. And I'm

2225
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 6: I'm thrilled that I get a chance to be able

2226
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 6: to cover his games on a regular.

2227
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 4: Basis Fox Sports Sunday, where Hartman and Husky we have

2228
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:22,839
Speaker 4: in the great JP morosely R Fox Sports Radio, MLB

2229
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 4: analysts and really analysts of everything else. So I want

2230
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 4: to just throw a simple question at you, JP, with

2231
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 4: everything that you know, what everything that you've seen over

2232
01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 4: his career, and what we just saw, what happened this

2233
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 4: past weekend in the way Abel had to address this,

2234
01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:43,720
Speaker 4: what would you do with Stefan Diggs?

2235
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 6: What would I do? I would have to really give

2236
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 6: this some thought. Here, Okay, here we go. I'm going

2237
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 6: to have to pass on this because I'll just I'll

2238
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 6: say this. I realized there's a lot of conversation about

2239
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 6: him being cut. I feel as though this is the

2240
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,680
Speaker 6: one thing VJ that I do not have enough specific

2241
01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 6: on the ground reporting information to render to render a

2242
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 6: specific opinion beyond beyond to say that it is a

2243
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 6: U I understand it's a pretty hot button issue, but

2244
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:19,760
Speaker 6: I would have to educate myself further on this before

2245
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 6: I gave my firm Morosi endorsed opinion.

2246
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 3: There it is, that is an honest answer right there,

2247
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 3: all right.

2248
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 2: So bottom line, Connor McDavid will finally add Stanley Cup

2249
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 2: champion to his resume.

2250
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 6: Yes, I got McDavid winning the Cup and I got

2251
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 6: the Pacers winning the NBA Final game.

2252
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:44,599
Speaker 3: I'll put it this way. Are you rolling tape on that?

2253
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 3: All right?

2254
01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:48,080
Speaker 2: So John Paul Morosi is actually picking the Pacers to

2255
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 2: win the NBA. If that happens, I may not be

2256
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 2: able to talk to you again. I will be bowied

2257
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 2: so hard at your feet. I will never be able

2258
01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:57,679
Speaker 2: to speak.

2259
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:57,800
Speaker 4: To you again.

2260
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 6: I was. I was in New yor or covering covering

2261
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 6: baseball the week that game one of the Knicks Celtics

2262
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:10,599
Speaker 6: series happened, and w f A N our colleague at

2263
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:14,000
Speaker 6: w f A N could not find a single caller

2264
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 6: in the entire Tri state area to call up and

2265
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:21,839
Speaker 6: say the Knicks even had a chance to win that series.

2266
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 6: And then they went out there and won the series decisively.

2267
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 6: I really there was an injury in there. I get that,

2268
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:31,200
Speaker 6: But but you guys have some faith here. The Paces

2269
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 6: have made it to the finals. I mean, there's there's

2270
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 6: a there's a lot to like about that team. And

2271
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:38,719
Speaker 6: believe me, I have I have gone down and looked

2272
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 6: at that draft and said to myself, how did the

2273
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 6: Pistons not draft Halliburton when they had the chance?

2274
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess be well, I'll tell you what we

2275
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,719
Speaker 3: we how about this both of us here you said,

2276
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 3: we'll take Cunningham over Ant right now. We are building

2277
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:55,639
Speaker 3: a franchise right.

2278
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:58,679
Speaker 4: Now, right, and so we will we would.

2279
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:01,559
Speaker 2: Take and then no, not knock against. And but we

2280
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:04,559
Speaker 2: just think that the leadership qualities that Cunningham has already

2281
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 2: shown to turn this franchise around in one year speaks

2282
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 2: volumes about where the Pistons are going in the near.

2283
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 6: Future, right, And so that's where you I mean again,

2284
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 6: it's hard for me to even think about it, but

2285
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,719
Speaker 6: to the notion of having because it was separate drafts

2286
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:19,440
Speaker 6: Cunningham and Albert, and you could add them both theoretically

2287
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:21,880
Speaker 6: now and now again if you'd add I'm trying to

2288
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 6: think of the chronology of it all. If you had

2289
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 6: had Haliburton first, would you have been bad enough to

2290
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 6: think of cunning.

2291
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 4: Am the next year? Right?

2292
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 6: Right? So you got to think about in those terms,

2293
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:33,799
Speaker 6: But in general I would show it to see Haliburton

2294
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 6: wearing red.

2295
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 3: Whit and blue, right now, great stuff? As always, JP,

2296
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 3: thanks so much, enjoy your week. We'll talk to you

2297
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 3: next week.

2298
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 6: Bless you love this conversation. Thank you so much for

2299
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 6: all the questions. I love it to this. This conversation

2300
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 6: sets my mind for the whole week on things that

2301
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 6: I feel strongly about and those that I need to

2302
01:46:49,479 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 6: learn more about. It's like my morning meeting for the week,

2303
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:54,479
Speaker 6: and I appreciate it very much.

2304
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:57,240

2315
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:22,759

2324
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 8: if I put Twitter, it goes to it.

2325
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:47,679
Speaker 4: Yes.

2326
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 2: Well yes, guess who decided that's a good idea. That's

2327
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 2: the guy that owns it.

2328
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good idea.

2329
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 8: I was like, was that me.

2330
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 2: To know that? I know?

2331
01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 8: It's something what I do over there? All right, guys,

2332
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 8: we'll check in on baseball. A lot of day games,

2333
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 8: so not a lot going on in the evening. Right now.

2334
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:15,240
Speaker 8: The Diamondbacks are on top of the Nationals three zero.

2335
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 8: Ohaniel swat is with the two run shop bottom of

2336
01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:20,600
Speaker 8: the second inning about to start in Arizona. Cubs have

2337
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 8: added some more runs, so now they're topping the Red

2338
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 8: seven to two after seven innings. Astros still edging the

2339
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 8: Rays one zero. They're about to start the ninth inning.

2340
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:30,719
Speaker 8: In Houston. The Mets did top the Rockies five to three.

2341
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 8: Juan Soto has homeward and back to back games for

2342
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 8: the Mets, so maybe get a little of a groove

2343
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:41,519
Speaker 8: back here. Colorado is nine and fifty to start the season.

2344
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 3: It's crazy nice. I mean they're on pace for one

2345
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty plus loss to break the record the

2346
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 3: all time. Yeah, in a break all record.

2347
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 8: So you know who's real happy about that, the White Sox.

2348
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,200
Speaker 8: Because the White Sox will only have like the worst

2349
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 8: record for so long.

2350
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:57,839
Speaker 3: They're gonna lose ten more games than the White Sox last.

2351
01:48:57,680 --> 01:48:59,600
Speaker 8: Sight, exactly exactly know what one's gonna talk about the

2352
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 8: White Sox anymore because of that, So that's good. The

2353
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 8: Red Sox didn't beat the Braves three to one. The

2354
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:06,519
Speaker 8: Rangers outscored the Cardinals eight to one. The Brewers have

2355
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 8: won seven in a row. They outscored the Phillies five

2356
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 8: to two. The Guardians had a four to two win

2357
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:13,160
Speaker 8: over the Angels, and the Giants did top the Marlins

2358
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 8: four to two as well. Scotti Scheffler is still in

2359
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 8: the lead eight under par overall. He's even through ten

2360
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 8: holes in this final round of Blew Memorial and he

2361
01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 8: is just one shot ahead of Ben Griffin. Nick Taylor

2362
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 8: is three shots back, so Scotti Scheffler holding on to

2363
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 8: that slight lead. We've talked about this, but at the

2364
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 8: French Open, for the first time since two thousand and three,

2365
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:36,280

2369
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 8: going on. It's an elimination game, but UCLA and Tennessee

2370
01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:51,360
Speaker 8: are tied at to a piece. It's the top of

2371
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 8: the fifth inning.

2372
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:55,519

2392
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 2: As you know, I have a certain obsession with sports stats,

2393
01:50:56,760 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 2: and my number one obsession is college football because I

2394
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 2: dared go where no one else has gone. You got

2395
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:05,480
Speaker 2: Baseball Reference, you got people are oh, you know Sabers,

2396
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:08,680
Speaker 2: you know exhausted, every box scorer ever known a man.

2397
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 2: But college football is such a taunting. It's it's no

2398
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 2: one's ever dared to go where I've gone and putting

2399
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 2: together statistics of players and legendary players.

2400
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 3: So tomorrow is a big day for me.

2401
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 2: There's two days that stand out on my calendar, and

2402
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:26,600
Speaker 2: that is the day of the National Championship Game in

2403
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 2: college football, not because of the game, but because that's

2404
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 2: the day they announced the college football class, a Hall

2405
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:34,760
Speaker 2: of Fame class that day, and tomorrow at eight am

2406
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 2: they will actually release the ballot, the final ballot for

2407
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 2: next year's class for the College Football Hall of Fame. Now,

2408
01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 2: the reason I'm bringing this up is a rule change

2409
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:46,960
Speaker 2: that was way short of what they should be doing

2410
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: in terms of qualifying coaches for induction of the College

2411
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame. So when Mike Leach had his

2412
01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 2: untimely death, he had a career winning percentage of point

2413
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:01,479
Speaker 2: five ninety six. The College Football Hall of Fame to

2414
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 2: be eligible, you have to have coach at least ten

2415
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 2: years and have a winning percentage of point six to

2416
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 2: zero zero. You're like, Okay, can't you just round it up?

2417
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you're telling me that a guy that turned

2418
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 2: around all these mediocre programs and made him winners is

2419
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:17,760
Speaker 2: not eligible for the College Follotball Hall of Fame. So

2420
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 2: they lowered the bar down to point five ninety five

2421
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 2: to make him eligible in a couple of years. A

2422
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:26,240
Speaker 2: couple other coaches you know which is nice you know

2423
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:28,639
Speaker 2: is still not eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame.

2424
01:52:28,720 --> 01:52:32,000
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, one of the winniest coaches in the history

2425
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 2: of college football, is not eligible. Why because he only

2426
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 2: coached nine years. Here here would be my recommendation to

2427
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:44,959
Speaker 2: my friend of the College Football Hall of Fame. Forget

2428
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 2: any ideas about prerequisites. Like in other words, you're you're

2429
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 2: talking about Drew Brees and his record setting career at

2430
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,960
Speaker 2: Purdue not eligible for the Hall of Fame. Why because

2431
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 2: he never made a first team All American team during

2432
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 2: his career, and I'm like, come on, I mean, forget

2433
01:53:01,439 --> 01:53:04,080
Speaker 2: all that. But you know, a Hall of Famer is

2434
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:08,519
Speaker 2: a Hall of famer. Howard Schnellenberger, right, who literally built

2435
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 2: the U. He's not eligible because you know, we've got

2436
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 2: some bad teams and he didn't get the six center.

2437
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 2: How do you write the history of college football without

2438
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:20,640
Speaker 2: Howard Schnellenberger because he was the guy that put it

2439
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,759
Speaker 2: in place, one of the great dynasties in college football history.

2440
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:26,720
Speaker 3: So, I mean, that's to me what it's about. What

2441
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 3: kind of impact did you have on the sport? Whether

2442
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 3: you're player or coach, doesn't matter the sport. Did you

2443
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 3: have an impact? Were you a game changer? Can you

2444
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 3: write the history of the sport without mentioning your name? That,

2445
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:41,880
Speaker 3: to me is the definition of a Hall of fame.

2446
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:44,400
Speaker 4: You can mention well, okay, well, you can write the

2447
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:47,800
Speaker 4: history of college football without mentioning Drew Brees's name. Maybe

2448
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 4: not the history of the NFL, but the history of

2449
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 4: college football.

2450
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 3: Drew Brees recordte record, had.

2451
01:53:56,320 --> 01:53:58,599
Speaker 4: That's what I'm getting to had really one good year, okay,

2452
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:02,280
Speaker 4: had one, couldn't be he was he was? He two

2453
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 4: years So couldn't be. Couldn't be none of the big guys.

2454
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:07,400
Speaker 4: You know he being in the big guys. It's tom

2455
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 4: last year. It so was last year when he beat Michigan.

2456
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 4: And it takes and it takes, and it takes an

2482
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 4: One year doesn't get you into the Hall of Fame.

2483
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 4: I'm sorry you're asking me. There says one year, one

Speaker 2: on everything.

2524
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 4: No, Shane, I talked about this. We actually agree on

2525
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 4: about ninety eight percent of the stuff, we both say.

2526
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 4: Him and I just have a huge hurdle about Lebron. Yeah,

2527
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 4: that's it. That's all. The one thing. It's the one,

2528
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 4: that one thing that when people see us, when people

2529
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 4: see us talking about it, they think that we're really going,

2530
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:26,840
Speaker 4: I'm like, bro, it's just Shane. I just get really

2531
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 4: into this conversation. He just won't ease up off of it,

2532
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 4: so you won't either, though, you know what I mean?

2533
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:34,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, we love each other exactly man, That's why

2534
01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:36,480
Speaker 11: we're in this business.

2535
01:57:35,920 --> 01:57:37,320
Speaker 3: Right, go exactly right?

2536
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 2: All right, all right, let's get predictions here on both

2537
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:45,800
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Final. All right, okay, So,

2538
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 2: by the way, do you prefer finals or final? I

2539
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 2: sort of get the Stanley Cup Final because there's only

2540
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 2: one final, right. The NBA Finals, I guess, refers to

2541
01:57:55,600 --> 01:57:56,959
Speaker 2: a multitude of games.

2542
01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 3: What are you like in final? Or Because it is

2543
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals.

2544
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 4: They're both okay with me. But I don't say Stanley

2545
01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:08,320
Speaker 4: Cup Finals. I just like to say, hey man, they're

2546
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 4: about the fight final. They're about the fight for Lord Stanley.

2547
01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 4: That's the Lord Stanley.

2548
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 2: Well let's start right there with the Stanley Cup Final,

2549
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:18,879
Speaker 2: a rematch we got the Panthers, got the Oilers.

2550
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:20,040
Speaker 3: Which way you're going to.

2551
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 4: New Orlers and six Man After Connor McDavid. I've had

2552
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 4: a chance to cover the Oilers in the playoff series

2553
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:26,440
Speaker 4: back to back years it's just such a I mean,

2554
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,960
Speaker 4: he's the listen, he might be, he might be just

2555
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 4: the greatest talent I've ever seen. All nights I know

2556
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 4: they was Wayne and these I'm just talking about just

2557
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:34,600
Speaker 4: when you watch them, it's like everything just seems so

2558
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 4: easy to him and there's nothing he can't do and

2559
01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 4: there's nothing people can do against him. And last year,

2560
01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 4: that losing like that hurts. I think young teams bounce

2561
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:48,360
Speaker 4: back for that. Him, Drysdale, Caine, those guys. I think

2562
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 4: they get it done this year. Give me the Oilers

2563
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:50,400
Speaker 4: in six.

2564
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. The Panthers are rough.

2565
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 4: It's tough.

2566
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:53,240
Speaker 3: You know.

2567
01:58:53,360 --> 01:58:56,640
Speaker 2: Panthers remind me of the old Islanders. You know, they're

2568
01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:59,200
Speaker 2: just one of those teams that rises to the occasion.

2569
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:01,720
Speaker 2: Hard to repeat. I'm on the side with the Panthers

2570
01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:03,360
Speaker 2: in this one. But I do think it's going seven

2571
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:05,520
Speaker 2: all right. I think it could go all the way seven.

2572
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 3: On that one.

2573
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:06,560
Speaker 4: I love it all right.

2574
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:09,880
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, I want I want to, I want to.

2575
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:13,760
Speaker 2: You just heard John Paul Morose actually picked the Okay,

2576
01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 2: so what's.

2577
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:15,360
Speaker 4: Give me going out?

2578
01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 3: Man?

2579
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:17,400
Speaker 4: I just I believe, I believe what I've seen from

2580
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:20,840
Speaker 4: the the Pacers. I just really love the defense, and

2581
01:59:20,840 --> 01:59:22,760
Speaker 4: and okay See, they're both young teams, right, so one

2582
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 4: of these young teams are going to win the championship.

2583
01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 4: I'll go out on the limb, give me the Pacers

2584
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:26,680
Speaker 4: on seven.

2585
01:59:28,160 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 2: My only question is, okay See, in four or five

2586
01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 2: the Pacers and they win a game at home, Well,

2587
01:59:36,840 --> 01:59:38,880
Speaker 2: I saw what okay See did in Game three against

2588
01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota where they gave them some false hope like they

2589
01:59:41,320 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 2: could get back in the series, then obliterated them after that.

2590
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 2: So I will go okay See five games. I'll give

2591
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 2: the Pacers one little mercy win for them down the road.

2592
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:51,040
Speaker 2: Going there.

2593
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:53,520
Speaker 3: Much more glowing up here on Fox Sports Radio
