Speaker 2: leaving reviews, all those things. We are now up to

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty six thousand subscribers. So I would

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: love if we could get to one hundred and fifty

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: thousand subscribers by round two of the NBA Playoffs. That

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 2: feels about right about six weeks from now. So let's yeah,

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: that's not a huge ask, right, that's doable. Let's make

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: that goal for by May first to be at one

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. There's no plaque or anything

26
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: that goes for that. By the way. That plaque that

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: we have demands is it on a wall in your

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: apartment or is it leaned up against a wall in

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: your apartment. There's really that.

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: I guess it's going to be like laid down somewhere.

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: And I was and I was going to be able

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: to go one up with it being propped up. But yes,

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: it's propped up. It's not hung up, but.

34
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: It's not just laying down.

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: It's like on on your dresser, leaning against to where

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: it's at eye level for people, so you can show it,

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: but not quite enough to like get the hammer and nail.

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: Fine, un do all that.

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I get it, by the way, By the way,

40
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: I get it.

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: Deposit.

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, man, we've all been there. All right, here

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: is what is not on today's show. Not on today's show.

44
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: Harden playing defense on KWHI. That might actually somebody asked

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: me a question in the comments on that, because I've

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: now decided I want that in the show. Not enough

47
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: to reorganize the whole thing. It's the dumbest play in

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: NBA history, and that's a league that has employed Jordan

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: Poole for five years. So we'll get to that. Best

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: sporting event of the year for some March Madness tips

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: off in about ninety minutes, which means, you know, if

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: there's ever a day for me to make massive errors

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: or drop an f bomb on TV, today's to day

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: because nobody will be watching. It's a weird thing doing

55
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: a sports television show and you know nobody's watching it.

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: But that's gonna be the case. Listen for maybe you

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 2: people catch it on YouTube after the fact, and then

58
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: what might be the biggest story in sports. So you

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: might say, why is it not in the show? The

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: show hey Otani, his interpreter here is the loose facts,

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna put facts in quotes. The story as

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: is being told is show. Hey Otani's interpreter was four

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: and a half million in the hole gambling show Hey

64
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: paid it off, and there is now an investigation. I'm

65
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: going to go ahead and say more facts are going

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: to come out, and I am not making any allegations

67
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: with that. I'm not trying to protect anyone. I'm not

68
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: trying to fame anyone. I am simply saying this. The

69
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: show Aotani discussion right now feels like election night coverage.

70
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: When all we have is those six people that vote

71
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: in Delaware or wherever Vermont at midnight and it's like, oh,

72
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: four to two, Trump's ahead, It's like, well, we could

73
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: spend time analyzing that, or we could wait literally a

74
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 2: few hours or in this case, a few days before

75
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: we have real data. So I think we're gonna get

76
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: real information on the show Hey story, and rather than

77
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time on it when we have

78
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: minimal information, I'd rather wait. So my guess is by

79
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: the next time we're doing the pod, there will be

80
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: real reporting on it. And I also have the ability.

81
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: I'm good pals with Jeff Passing, so all probably hit

82
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: him up this weekend and ask him to give me

83
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: the dummies version of what is known and what is

84
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: believed and then we can maybe talk about it more Tuesday.

85
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: But the speculation right now to me seems to be

86
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: a bit of a fool's errand so we're not going

87
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: to spend a lot of time on that demanse. What

88
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: are we going to spend a lot of time on?

89
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

90
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: The Bucks and Celtics. They played last night.

91
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: Damon Tatum put on a little clinic and the Bucks

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: we're able to keep the game pretty close despite not

93
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: having Giannis. So we already know a few of your

94
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: thoughts on these teams in the East. But you've it's

95
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: it's kind of conflicting. You've got the Bucks as your

96
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: finals pick, but you have the Celtics a top of

97
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: your tiers of your tiers right now?

98
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: What's up with that?

99
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: Yes, so right now, the Celtics deserve the respect to

100
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: say they're the best team in the league. They have

101
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: a top six all time point differential. That's meaningful to

102
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: me like that is, and the other teams on that

103
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 2: all time point differential list are some of the best

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: teams ever. They have a universally respected excellent starting five,

105
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: they're healthy, and they have seven wins, more than every

106
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: other team in the league. They're gonna finish like sixty

107
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: five and seventeen, and no other team in the league

108
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: is going to get to sixty wins, So they deserve

109
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: to be a top the tiers, so to speak. I

110
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: can believe that while also believing Milwaukee or Denver would

111
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: beat them in a series. And so to me, those

112
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: are the Those two ideas are not in conflict, at

113
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: least in my mind. I also think Miami, well, it's

114
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of that, and it's a yeah, I

115
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: guess it's a lot of that. It's not that I

116
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: don't think the Celtics are a good playoff postseason team.

117
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: They've made a final, They've made four conference finals since

118
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Tatum's been there. It's more that I think the Bucks

119
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: have been a work in progress all year. But if

120
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: we pause and take a moment and say, what we

121
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: thought of Milwaukee last year was they needed a guy

122
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: just like Dame, and they added Dame. Now, the defense

123
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: took a step back, But I think some of the

124
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: skepticism about Milwaukee was, all right, if you add a

125
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: guy like Dame, what does it do to Yannis? Well,

126
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: Yannis offensively, and he didn't play last night. Obviously, you

127
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: could Argue is having the best season of his career.

128
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: He's averaging point three beneath his career high end points,

129
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: he's averaging by a full half assist his career high

130
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: and assists, and he's averaging by four percentage points his

131
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: best shooting percentage ever. He's thirty one points, eleven rebound,

132
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: six assists, sixty two percent from the field every single night.

133
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing that to me is noteworthy

134
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: about what the Bucks have done recently, including last night.

135
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: To bring it to last night, the Bucks ability as

136
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: of late to play these other good, too excellent teams

137
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: and to play them without Yannis and to be really good,

138
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: I think is highly impressive. So they didn't have Yannis

139
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: for the Clippers game they won. They didn't have Yiannis

140
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: for the Sun's game they won. They didn't have Yiannis

141
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: last night, and that was a three point game against

142
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: a full strength Celtics team in Boston. I actually think that,

143
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: and I think Yannis missing a little bit of time

144
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: here could actually be good for the Buck in this regard.

145
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: It allows Dame to really get in a pre postseason rhythm,

146
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: which Dame's been good but not great this year. Dame

147
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: has not been as good as he was last year.

148
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: And Dame talked about kind of the emotional toll that

149
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, he got divorced, he had to move, he

150
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: feels lonely. All those things are real things. Sidebar of

151
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,119
Speaker 2: the sidebar, demanse, did you see the DeAndre Ayton quote? Uh,

152
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: nothing wrong, no, no, no, so on himself. So I'm

153
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: gonna read it to you and then I'm I'll tie

154
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: this to the Dame stuff in a moment. So I'm

155
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: going to read you the story from Kurd Hyland on

156
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: Pro Basketball Talk. It has taken DeAndre in a while

157
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: to adjustin Portland, both on and off the court. Back

158
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: in November, he averaged fourteen and nine shooting fifty nine percent.

159
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Solid numbers, but Ayton was passive much of the time,

160
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: not the inside presence Blazers were counting on. Since the

161
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: break eight and has averaged twenty four and fourteen on

162
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: sixty four percent. So what changed? Aighten talked about that

163
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: adjustment with Aaron Finchris of The Oregonian. Uh, and this

164
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: is what he wrote, or this is what he said, quote,

165
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: my body just wasn't my body? People forget the humane

166
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: difference of me adjusting to everything.

167
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: Oh, I did see that. Just being good mattress.

168
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: Just being yes, yes, just being comfortable and waking up. Quote.

169
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: I didn't have a bed for quite some time. I

170
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: was on an air mattress, just trying to figure things out.

171
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: So I'm now going to give you two facts. Fact one,

172
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:59,359
Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton is twenty five years old. Fact two, DeAndre

173
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: eight and currently makes thirty two million dollars a year.

174
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna add a third fact, Fact three, DeAndre Ayton

175
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: makes his money with his body. If you are a

176
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: grown man and you are in the mid eight figure

177
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: earnings club, you know what, I'm going to lower that.

178
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: If you're in the seven fig you know what I'm

179
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: going to lower that. If you're in the mid six

180
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: figure earnings club. If you're a grown man making more

181
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: than two hundred thousand dollars a year and your body

182
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: is how you make your money, you're not allowed to

183
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: sleep on an air mattress for more than one night.

184
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: And that has to be a really disastrous scenario for

185
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: it to be one night. That is when he's like,

186
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: when he's like, oh my goodness, the humane part of it,

187
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: here's the here's the adult part of it. I'm a

188
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: super rich guy. This is affecting my performance at work.

189
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 2: I need the best bed of available in the Portland

190
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: area delivered to my house today. And oh wait, you're

191
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: gonna charge me, you know, triple for overnight shipping. You

192
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: know what, I've got it, and it's my job to

193
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: make they pay me this, to make sure things like

194
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: sleeping on an air mattress are not part of you know,

195
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: the potential difficulties. So when people say the humane parts

196
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: of NBA players, I guess I'm in humane. There that

197
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: that quote right there. Sorry, DeAndre Aiden, You're not a

198
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: serious person. You're not an adult yet. I am not

199
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: comfortable with you being a major part of my franchise. Now,

200
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: Dame saying I'm lonely and I'm going through a doce

201
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: that I totally understand. Money doesn't fix that. But if

202
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: you are super rich and you are having a problem

203
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: that literally money fixes like I do. Like, let me

204
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: ask you this. If DeAndre Ayton had said, well, you know,

205
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: I wasn't playing well because the place I moved to

206
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: the fridge and stove were broken, so I hadn't eaten

207
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: for a week. Would you say, oh, this poor guy,

208
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: or would you say, you know what, buddy, you got

209
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: to figure that one out. There's options there. The air

210
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: mattress is not a viable excuse. So what I try

211
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: to be an empathetic person, and for Dame going through

212
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: a divorce, I can only imagine how horrifying moving away

213
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: from your family. Those are real things that I think

214
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 2: too often people are like, ah, you're rich, get over it.

215
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: Money doesn't help you there. It might ease some of

216
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: the things, like you can see your family easier than

217
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 2: someone who's not rich can. But so I feel for

218
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: Dame in that regard. DeAndre Ayton talking about sleeping on

219
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 2: an air mattress is, honest to god, one of the

220
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: most embarrassing quotes from an athlete in years, like give

221
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: me a break by I didn't.

222
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: Get that either.

223
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: I also just told one of the producers of the

224
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: podcast that I couldn't watch TV over the weekend by accident.

225
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 3: But it's like similar scenario internet. They're actually not similar scenario. No,

226
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 3: not internet problem. I was just tied up, had some things,

227
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: but I initially led with I wasn't able to watch

228
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: TV this weekend, and that just wasn't true. So it's

229
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: like a But the thing I didn't I didn't understand.

230
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: I didn't get why he was saying he had to

231
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: sleep on air match. He could have slept in an

232
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: hotel next year. A bunch of other also listen.

233
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: While you and eight and are the same age, you

234
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: and Aighton do not have the same ability to fix

235
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: problems with money. So like if you if your work

236
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: was hampered, if when you moved to La it was like, Man,

237
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm falling behind at work because I can't work from

238
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: home because the Internet's not set up in my house. Yet,

239
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: that does not make you less of an adult. That

240
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: is a legitimate excuse for someone that is starting off

241
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: in their career. If you made thirty two million, if

242
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: every two weeks to Monse, you got direct deposited a

243
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: million four in your bank account and you told your

244
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: employer you're like, sorry behind on emails, my hot spot

245
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: got cut off. Then they'd say, Okay, you're not a

246
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: serious person. So how does this have to do with

247
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: Celtics bucks. Oh, because I was talking about and here's

248
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: the other thing I said about the Celtics. Tell me

249
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: if you agree with me to Monse. This Celtics season

250
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: feels a little raven Z in this regard, if you

251
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: don't get over the hump, now, when are you going

252
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: to so embeid? It's hurt the Bucks fired their coach.

253
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: They don't, you know what I mean? They the Bucks start.

254
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Last year with the Celtics too. I guess now they

255
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: got Porzingis. They made the extra moves.

256
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: And they got Porzingis, they got Drew, you know.

257
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: What I mean?

258
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: The last year they weren't the one seed Milwaukee was.

259
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: There were a lot of pieces to it. And so

260
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: there is an element of if this Celtics team this

261
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: season all add one caveat, if they get to the

262
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: finals and play a very competitive series against Denver and

263
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: Jokis just kills them, then maybe the Celtics don't retool

264
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: anything and they're just like, you know what, we are

265
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: running up against a generational player the correct But you

266
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: might say, well, that's what happened to the Ravens, but

267
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: that isn't what Because the this year's Chiefs team didn't

268
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: have the profile that this year's Nuggets team has, Nobody

269
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: is watching this year's Nuggets team saying this is the

270
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: worst Nuggets team in years, that there's something wrong with them.

271
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: So but if the Celtics fail to make the finals,

272
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: or make the finals and lose to anyone but Denver,

273
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: or make the finals and lose to Denver but it's

274
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: a washout, then I think they have real hard questions

275
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: to answer about are we really really really good but

276
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: not gonna be good enough? All right? Next?

277
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: All right, So Caleb had his prode yesterday and his

278
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: future teammate Keenan Allen was in attendance. You said on

279
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 3: your show yesterday, if the Caleb will fall somewhere between

280
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw, so that means.

281
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: About three Super Bowls.

282
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: Well, let me, I like, how you put him right

283
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: at where.

284
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is right now, give you a little time.

285
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: No, no, So that's not even how it happened. Wilds

286
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: went through the fifteen most successful number one overall pick

287
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and he was like, do you think Caleb will

288
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: be better than this guy? Then this guy then? And

289
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: so right, he asked me, will he be better than Aikman?

290
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: I said yes? And the next name he said was Bradshaw,

291
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: and I said no, So that you know what I mean.

292
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: That's where it was. That was so much that he's

293
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: necessarily winning that many Super Bowls, But it is that

294
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: I think he will be a better player than Aikman.

295
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: Bradshaw is, you know, kind of universally considered one of

296
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: the ten greatest quarterbacks ever to am I gonna go

297
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: ahead and install Caleb there. That seems a little too bullish,

298
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: but I do think Caleb is gonna be great.

299
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 4: But go ahead, Yeah.

300
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean, with that said, how long do you think

301
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: it'll How long do you think it'll be until we

302
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: Sue Mahomes and Caleb Williams face off in a Super Bowl.

303
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: So here's the funny thing about super Bowls. We very

304
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: rarely get Marino Montana. Now I use that example because

305
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: we did get marinomn Tanna in the one Super Bowl

306
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: Marino one where it's like, these are the two best

307
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: quarterbacks alive and they're in the Super Bowl, and you know,

308
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: you got Aikman Kelly twice. Uh, But neither Aikman nor

309
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: Kelly were really in the argument for the best quarterback

310
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: in the league. You did get FARV Lway, but Lway

311
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: was at the very very end and was no longer

312
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: MVP Lway. But it's pretty rare that you get, you know,

313
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: two top three or four quarterbacks against each other in

314
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: a super Bowl. So if we like, let's just go

315
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: backwards and see and so, yes, I do think Caleb's

316
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: going to be a superstar quarterback. But and some of

317
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: that has just happenstance, Like Brady and Manning played in

318
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: the same conference forever, so they played five times in

319
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but they could never play in the super

320
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: Bowl because they for the entirety of Manning's career, they

321
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: were both in the AFC. So here are the Super

322
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 2: Bowl matchups that we've had, just going backwards, Mahomes party,

323
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: so that's number one versus like number nineteen. Great Mahomes hurt.

324
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: Mahomes hurts. Now that was the MVP and the MVP

325
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: runner up. But I don't know how that's going to

326
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: age historically. People are gonna be like, oh wow, Burrow

327
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: Stafford pretty good. Two guys both firmly in the top

328
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: seven or eight. Brady Mahomes obviously a legendary matchup. It

329
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: didn't turn. The game ended up not being a good game,

330
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: But that was from a quarterback perspective, probably the best

331
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: you could have hoped for. Uh, Mahomes Garoppolo, no good

332
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: Brady Goff when golf was at that you know, I understand, well,

333
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: golf wasn't struggling yet, and that one looked better in

334
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: the moment than it does now. And also that was

335
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: a thirteen to three Brady Fowles whatever, Brady Matt Ryan.

336
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: The year Matt Ryan won NFL MVP. That's pretty great one.

337
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: And the ended up being one of the greatest Super

338
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: Bowls ever. Manning Peyton, Manning cam Newton. But that year

339
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Peyton got benched. Like that year Peyton was at the

340
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: very very end. So Peyton got hurt and got benched

341
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 2: and then came back. I think he had You're not

342
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 2: gonna believe the year Peyton won his last Super Bowl

343
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: Demonsey And I love this part of the I know

344
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: I've said this so many times, but I love this

345
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: part of the pod, the like natural discovery from things

346
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: that happened when you were in high school or earlier. Yeah,

347
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: and I'm not being a smart ass here.

348
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: You're wandering off into uncharted territory for me, like I'm

349
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: learning exactly.

350
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 2: And so so Peyton's final year in Denver, he had

351
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: nine touch down, seventeen interceptions and a sixty eight passer

352
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: rating and they won the Super Bowl, so like whenever,

353
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: So it's such a unique spot. Peyton's second run really good.

354
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: They had von Miller, Demarket, they had they were the

355
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: best defenses in the league. Peyton's second year in Denver,

356
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: when they made the Super Bowl and lost, he had

357
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: fifty five hundred yards and fifty five touchdowns, one of

358
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: the great maybe the greatest quarterbacking season ever. But then

359
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: by the end of his third year, you could tell, oh, wait,

360
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: he's not the same guy. And then his final year

361
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: in Denver was he got hurt. They didn't they brock

362
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 2: Osweiler took over, Peyton, then took back over, and Peyton

363
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: was just not the And even in that playoff run,

364
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: in that entire playoff run when they won the title,

365
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: Peyton threw for two touchdowns and one pick. Just wasn't

366
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: the same guy, all right, So back to what we

367
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: were doing here, Russ Brady, Russell Wilson was pretty good,

368
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson prime Peyton Manning was pretty good. But

369
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: then you have things like Flaco Cap Brady Eli Big

370
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: Ben Rogers is probably the best, like Caleb Mahomes possibility,

371
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: which is, you know, Rogers at that point was maybe

372
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: you know, in root to being considered maybe the best

373
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: quarterback in the league alongside Brady and Manning. Big Ben

374
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: was already a super Bowl champion a couple times over.

375
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: And so that's a that's a really good one. And

376
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: obviously Breeze Peyton when it was prime Peyton. So that's

377
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: just you know, going through the last fifteen years. So

378
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: it is our bet if Caleb makes a super Bowl,

379
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: and I believe he will, he's almost it's almost guaranteed

380
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: that it's gonna be a great super Bowl matchup because

381
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: it's either gonna be him against Mahomes or him against Alan,

382
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: or him against Lamar, or him against c J. You

383
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: know it's gonna be or him against the Prince or

384
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: him against It's justin it's gonna be. It's very hard

385
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: to imagine an AFC team without a great quarterback going,

386
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, making it to the super

387
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: Bowl in this era. But yeah, I my confidence in

388
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: Caleb is as high as it's been.

389
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 4: Question Okay, I mean, do you think he will be

390
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 4: there the next.

391
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: Three Well, so here's another thing, and I know that

392
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 2: this podcast, we're kind of doing bit of history lessons,

393
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 2: but the quarterbacks that make super Bowls make them early.

394
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: Russ made two on his rookie deal. Mahomes made two

395
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: on his rookie deal. Burrow made one on his rookie deal.

396
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: Cam was it the end of his rookie deal. Flacco,

397
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 2: he's not a great player, was at the end of

398
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: his rookie deal. Uh. You know, ever since the New

399
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: Pay when the Eagles made it, they had Wentz on

400
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 2: his rookie deal. He got hurt. Foles was the backup,

401
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: but Wentz got him to twelve and three or whatever

402
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 2: they were thirteen and two something, and then Jalen obviously

403
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: on his rookie deal. Purdy was on his rookie deal.

404
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: So if Caleb is the guy that I think he is,

405
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: the Bears probably should make a super Bowl in the

406
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: next five years. If he is the guy that now.

407
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: Lamar's great, he hasn't made one. Josh Allen's great, he

408
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 2: hasn't made one. But those guys have had to go

409
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: through Mahomes. Their best years have all been ended by Patrick.

410
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: You don't really have that so much in the NFC

411
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: go ahead.

412
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: It seems like you just I honestly, these situations always

413
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: confused me. I thought of it in my mind for

414
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: some reason, I thought of my work.

415
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: It's probably really bad.

416
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 3: But as far as when teams trade up, are they

417
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: trade away players to get higher in the draft. What

418
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 3: if like the forty nine Ers gave Brandon ayyuk in

419
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 3: like oh, trailing doesn't even play there anymore.

420
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: I guess, like.

421
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuken brock Party maybe to maybe move up to

422
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: the second spot or maybe take the first spot from

423
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: the Bears. I get it's very likely that some I

424
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: always say no, but in the off chance that the

425
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: Bears were attracted to those two.

426
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: So you're saying is no, no, no. So let me

427
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: what you're saying is what a team that has? Because

428
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, I don't know if the

429
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: audience knows exactly what you're saying. What a team that

430
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: feels like it has it has really good players but

431
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: not good enough to break through? Would they want to

432
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: kind of reset the quarterbacks key scale clock.

433
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: Because you get to pay them much too much?

434
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 2: Exactly right? So the Niners aren't a great example because

435
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: their quarterback doesn't make any money, but the the So

436
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: the example for that is, would if the Dallas Cowboys

437
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: said to the New England Patriots, we'll trade you Dak

438
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: for the third overall pick. You get stability, a known

439
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: factor at quarterback while you try to build up the

440
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: rest of your team, and we can resign cd Re,

441
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: sign Micah, try to so without demonster. It's you didn't

442
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: realize it when you were saying it. This is exactly

443
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 2: what the Niners did with Trey Lance. They had Jimmy

444
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: g on a semi expensive contract, they had been to

445
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, they had been banging on the door.

446
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: They weren't good enough, so instead of trading players, they

447
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: traded three first round draft picks to move up so

448
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 2: they could start the rookie contract clock over. That's what

449
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: they did, and so they're, yeah, what you're described. Bill

450
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: Barnwell wrote an article four or five years ago about

451
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: this exact question, and it was about the Rams with golf,

452
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: and he was ahead of his time on it was

453
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 2: before they paid golf. He was because it was when

454
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: golf the bloom was coming off the rows a bit.

455
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: And the question was, would there ever be a team

456
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: that drafts a quarterback, develops that quarterback, turns that quarterback

457
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: into a franchise quarterback. And instead of giving him the

458
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: massive extension that then makes them have to tear away

459
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: pieces of their team, trades him for a top five

460
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: pick so they can start the process over and always

461
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: and always have a superstar supporting cast, you know what

462
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: I mean, like would And so that to me is

463
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: a legitimate question. If you have a quarterback, let me

464
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: find the right quarterback example of who you've got to

465
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: really thread the needle, and you've got to have the

466
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: confidence in your own drafting and evaluations that you can then.

467
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: So I'll give you an example. If I were the

468
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins and the Minnesota Vikings, we're willing to give me.

469
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: The Vikings wouldn't do this, but just follow me here

470
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: the eleventh pick of the draft for Tua. And I'm like,

471
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: all right, sitting there, I can draft Pinnix, I might

472
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: be able to draft McCarthy. Maybe they love Bonnicks, which

473
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't understand. Whatever, but are we better off making

474
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 2: sure we can keep Waddle, we can keep Tyreek, we

475
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: can do all these things rather than this offseason pay

476
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: Tua like he's great when we know he has a ceiling.

477
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: That to me is a legitimate question, Like that's a

478
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: legit correct, and so I I would the now quarterbacks

479
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: like you mentioned Justin Herbert. Herbert I think is too

480
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: talented to roll the dice on that. But the Chargers

481
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: right now are drafting, and the way his contract works

482
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: because they've already paid him, uh, they could. They can't

483
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: actually trade him right now, but we know how much

484
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: Harball loves JJ McCarthy. They're sitting at five, he coach McCarthy.

485
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: In this fake world where uh Justin, where Justin Herbert's tradeable?

486
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: Would it be a viable thought exercise that someone like

487
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: the Chargers, like, you know what, we don't want to

488
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: have to cut Keenan Allen or trade Keenan Allen. We

489
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: you know, we don't want to have to tear our

490
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: team down, and we want to get younger through the draft.

491
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: You know what could you get for Justin Herbert from again,

492
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: I'll use New England? Would New England give you the

493
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: third overall pick and their second round pick and next

494
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: year's number one for Justin Herbert? The answers yes, they

495
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: almost assuredly would. And then could we draft our quarterback

496
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: and Marvin Harrison and have an extra first round pick?

497
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: These are legitimate conversations that nobody in NFL front offices

498
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: is having because trading away a stability at the quarterback

499
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: position is so terrifying. But if you just right, if

500
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: you had, if you had, if you owned the team

501
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: and ran it and just could do whatever you wanted,

502
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: it would be an interesting idea. So you didn't the

503
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: I knew what you were saying. You didn't phrase it

504
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: exactly right, but it is. It's a smarter idea than

505
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: like you gave yourself credit for it. All right, let's uh. Oh,

506
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: by the way, DeAndre, I'm told.

507
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 3: He's listening to the show and he actually just sent

508
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: us a picture of his room.

509
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean it's just I mean,

510
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: come on, man, I mean that's I mean, come on, man.

511
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: It's hilarious. The basketball.

512
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: This is why you should watch on YouTube. This is

513
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: why you should subscribe to the show.

514
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 4: All right. Next, all right, So the Jets clearly haven't

515
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 4: learned their lesson.

516
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they've signed more players that have come off injuries.

517
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: The eleven of their games this year will be coming

518
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: from teams that want that had winning records in twenty

519
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: twenty three. Another quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, As we're running for

520
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: vice president. Is it time for Jets fans to be

521
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: excited about this coming season or will they just be

522
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: setting themselves up for failure or disappointment.

523
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: Here's the thing that I just don't understand, and I

524
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: guess I do understand it. I just think it is

525
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: so ludicrous that the we're just find that folks are

526
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: don't have a problem with it. So the oldest tackle

527
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: signed in free agency, the oldest is Tyron Smith. I'm

528
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: looking at it on spot rank. He's the only tackle

529
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: over thirty two years old that has signed in free agency. Okay,

530
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: the Jets also signed or traded for another tackle, Morgan Moses,

531
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: who's a good player and a healthy player. He's also

532
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: thirty three years old. If we then go to wide receivers,

533
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: the people like, oh, Mike Williams, isn't that old. The

534
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: wide receivers that have been signed that are older than

535
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: Mike Williams is DeVante Parker who got five million max

536
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: probably a million guaranteed, and Collins who got I'm trying

537
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: to look at a million guaranteed, and then Mike Williams.

538
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: Those are the only two wide receivers who have signed

539
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: who are older than Mike Williams. Why are Tyrantsman and

540
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: Mike Williams available Because in the last two years they

541
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 2: have each missed seventeen and eighteen games. So a team

542
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: that last year was derailed by having an old injury

543
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 2: prone roster, signed old injury prone players and they're like, ah,

544
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: can't blame us if it goes wrong. So I just

545
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: think it's a ludicrous way to run your team. And

546
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: they're doing it all in service of an old the

547
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: oldest player in the league coming off of torn achilles.

548
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 2: So I think the Jets are.

549
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: Poorly r getting fired at the end of the season.

550
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: Well, they made these moves because if they they trying

551
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: to save their jobs, like, ah, this is the old

552
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: you have. This is not a perfect analogy, but I'll

553
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: use it. And people don't do this.

554
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

555
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: You have squandered half of the company's expense account and

556
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: the next day you have a meeting where they're gonna

557
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: do an audit of it, and you're like, oh my god,

558
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: they expect there to be one hundred thousand dollars here.

559
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: If they see there's fifty, I'm fired. I'm just fired. Well,

560
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: I guess I'm gonna take the fifty that's left and

561
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 2: put it on black on one spin of the roulette wheel.

562
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 2: If I win, then I keep my job. If I lose,

563
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: I was fired anyway, Which for your like game theory

564
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: of your own personal wellbeing, I guess makes sense. But

565
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: for the company, for the people you answer to, it's like,

566
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: well wait a minute here, we can't get like the

567
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: fifty you blue is gone, but let's not risk another fifty.

568
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: And so the Jets had this amazing twenty twenty two draft.

569
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 2: They got Sauce Garrett Wilson, Jermaine Johnson, and Breece Hall.

570
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: And then last year was totally squandered because they chased

571
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers rabbit without ever addressing the offensive line.

572
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: And now maybe they're gonna squander this year trying to

573
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 2: build as if the NFL doesn't exist after this year.

574
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: So I don't buy it. I don't like the hype,

575
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 2: and I don't know what evidence people have that Aaron

576
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers is gonna be great again. He what last year?

577
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 2: He was injured the year before, he was mediocre all

578
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: year long, So we've got to go aways back, like

579
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: Tom Brady has been great more recently than Aaron Rodgers

580
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 2: has been great. That's noteworthy, all right.

581
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 4: Next, pretty noteworthy, all right.

582
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 3: So rumors are forty nine Ers whide receiver Brandon Ayuk

583
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: could be on the run.

584
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 4: He's been linked to Pittsburgh.

585
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: I think for those watching on YouTube, we may show

586
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: a tweet, uh but you So.

587
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: Here's let me just add some context here. He tweeted

588
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 2: to Mike Tomlins saying that they're saying we look like twins.

589
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: I think I see a resemblance. But here's why it's noteworthy.

590
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: Ayuk had not tweeted in eleven months. So he gets

591
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: linked to the Steelers by friend of the Pod Andrew Philipponi,

592
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: who broke that story, by the way, and then he

593
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 2: tweets about it. So that's why there's a little smoke

594
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 2: where there might be some fire. But go ahead, I guess.

595
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

596
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 3: So you said that signs for changes to come in

597
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 3: San Francisco. So question is, so the forty nine Ers

598
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 3: in for the for a big regression like you predicted

599
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 3: last year.

600
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that they're in for a big regression.

601
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: And to be fair, last year I still had them

602
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: making the playoffs. I just thought quarterback play would bite

603
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: them earlier than it did. It turned out it didn't

604
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: bite them to the Super Bowl, so belief for them.

605
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: But uh, here is here is what is trip. They

606
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: currently have the highest paid running back in football, the

607
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: highest paid full back in football, the highest paid tight

608
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: end in football, the highest paid left tackle in football,

609
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: the highest paid defensive player of any position in football,

610
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: the highest paid middle linebacker in football. That's six positions.

611
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 2: They also pay Deebo three year, seventy million bucks. When

612
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 2: all of those things happen, it's hard to then pay

613
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk, right, And that's the beef. The beef is

614
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 2: he wants a contract. And if the Niners believe Purdy

615
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: is the real deal, they know that at some point

616
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to pay him. He's gonna go from

617
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: one million to fifty million. So the point that I

618
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: am making is, oh, and they signed who's the big

619
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: d tackle they signed in the offseason to a big oh,

620
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: Javon Hargrave. They gave him a big deal this past offseason.

621
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: That's why Quaton I don't want to say quietly, but

622
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: they cut Eric Armstead because the fight, the salary gap.

623
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: Chickens are starting to come home to roost a bit

624
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 2: and it's why not winning the Super Bowl last year

625
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 2: or the year before. They I don't want to say

626
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: they were all in, but they were highly leveraged. And

627
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,479
Speaker 2: the odds that they are ever going to have more

628
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: raw talent on the field than they had in last

629
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: year's Super Bowl is low, and so I think Ayuk's

630
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: an excellent player. But so next year they're gonna be

631
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: going to war with no Eric Armstead don't know the

632
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: status and Dre Greenlaw, which is sad and suck. But

633
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: he popped his achilles in the final game of the year.

634
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: We don't know about Ayuk. Now they will have Hufanga

635
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 2: back because he tore his ACL early last year. Hufunga

636
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: is awesome, but that's another guy they need money for.

637
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: I think Kufang is probably in line next year to

638
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: become the highest paid safety in the league. So I

639
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: just think the Niners, I don't want to say they

640
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: missed their opportunity, but the window is slowly closing on

641
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: having this all star team. That's all.

642
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 4: That's all so good, I know.

643
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 3: I mean, and they're not saying that he's going to Pittsburgh,

644
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 3: but you weren't high on Pittsburgh when they got Russell Wilson.

645
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: If they got Ayuk, how would you feel about Great Sea?

646
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: It'd be great for Justin I mean for their eventual

647
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: starting quarterback, justin fields. The problem for Ayuk's fit in

648
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh with Russ is Russ doesn't throw over the middle

649
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: of the field. Even when Russ was great, he didn't

650
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: throw over the middle of the field. Why doesn't he

651
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: field because he can't see it. He's too short. Just

652
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: the reality. I know people like, ah, that's unfair. No,

653
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: it's just true that the for shorter quarterback, seeing over

654
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 2: the middle of the field is the hardest part to see,

655
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: that intermediate middle, and that's where Ayuk. You know, Ayuk

656
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: doesn't make his money on those deep routes that Russ

657
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: is still great at. He makes his money over the

658
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 2: middle of the field. Uh. But and Justin fields, we

659
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: don't know where he throws because he hasn't been a

660
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: consistent passer yet. But we know he can see everywhere

661
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: because he's a regular quarterback. Size all right, take quick break,

662
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: come back, play a game? Right or wrong? What's right?

663
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's Driven? Think right? Episode

664
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: two twenty three, Demonsey, Let's roll and By the way,

665
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: don't forget your questions and comments for the C block.

666
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 2: Let's try to roll through this as quickly as possible,

667
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: because that was a forty minute a block because I

668
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: spent eight minutes on DeAndre Ayton's air mattress and an

669
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: other ten minutes on Super Bowl history that was not

670
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: scheduled part of the rundown.

671
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, Oh yeah, we're playing right or Wrong.

672
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 3: First off, we're start off Zion. The Pelicans are on

673
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: a roll, and Zion has reportedly lost twenty five pounds

674
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: in the course of the season. Right or wrong, Zion

675
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: is officially here to stay.

676
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: So I think I want to tentatively say right. And

677
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: I just think that with tempered expectations. When Zion came

678
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: into the league, I said, this guy's going to be

679
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 2: an MVP, And you guys know how strongly I feel

680
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 2: about how good you've got to be to be an MVP.

681
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 2: I that's who he was gonna be. And I still

682
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: think oddly Zion's initial Zion's second year, which was he

683
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: played sixty games that year, and keep in mind that

684
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: was not this eighty two game season, so he played

685
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: sixty games, and I think was a seventy six game season.

686
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: I could be wrong, maybe it was. It doesn't matter.

687
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: He was twenty seven a night on sixty one percent

688
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 2: from the field at twenty years old. No one, not

689
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: even Prime Shack had done that.

690
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 3: That's almost numbers you're saying. Yanis is putting up just

691
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 3: earlier this year. So the.

692
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: By the way, you're right, the well, so Yannis has

693
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: more rebounds and assists. Yannis is having, you know, maybe

694
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 2: the greatest high volume, scoring, high efficiency percentage season ever.

695
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: But that obviously giannis Is season this year obviously hadn't

696
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: happened then, and so Zion did something that no one

697
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 2: had done up to that point. And then it went

698
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 2: sideways for him on and off the court. And now

699
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: he is he Listen, he's played fifty seven games, so

700
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: he's gonna play probably close to seventy games. The Pelicans

701
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: are good. He's been really good. But I no longer

702
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: look at him like, oh, he might be the best

703
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: player in the league.

704
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 4: One day.

705
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: I look at him like, oh he could talent, talented

706
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: as hell and a good player, like you know what

707
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: I mean, he should be a multi time All Star,

708
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 2: but not an MVP candidate. And so that's kind of

709
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: a bummer. But by the way, a year ago, even

710
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 2: this was in question. It was is he gonna, is

711
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 2: his weight? Is his health?

712
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 4: This stuff?

713
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 3: It's always like it's always off the court stuff like discipline.

714
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when he played, he was always excellent, but

715
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: he doesn't seem quite as exploded, like explosive. He's just

716
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: not quite as good as he was right when he

717
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: came into the league. But he's healthier and the Pelicans

718
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: are good. So I'm buying that this could be the

719
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 2: new look Xion, which is good and bad so to speak.

720
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 3: All right, next, U so a top receiver in the draft,

721
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior didn't work out at the combine and

722
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 3: now he's skipped working out at his pro day. He's

723
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: slated to go after the top three quarterbacks to Arizona.

724
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 4: But does he does it?

725
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 3: It seems like he might not want to. Right or wrong,

726
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior is trying to avoid Kyler.

727
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: Wrong. I don't think that's what's happening here at all.

728
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: I think it's that he is correctly saying, watch the tape,

729
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: I am good enough. I don't have to jump through

730
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: these hoops.

731
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 4: Is the last thing he did would break that was

732
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 4: breaking that record.

733
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: I mean the last thing that last football we saw

734
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 2: him play was for Ohio State, and so so I mean,

735
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: he hasn't done any of the stuff guys normally do.

736
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: But I'm okay with that. This is the the guys

737
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 2: that are that can. I think Marvin's in a place

738
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 2: where he can't really help his draft stock and he

739
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: can now can't he hurd it? Like I know there

740
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 2: are something neighbors might go ahead of him, but I

741
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: think that, first of all, I don't buy it. Second

742
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: of all, he's not falling out of the tops. He's

743
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: never he's never going top three because it's gonna go quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,

744
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 2: and he was never going past seven. So he's almost

745
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 2: as sure he is assuredly gonna be the first or

746
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 2: second wide receiver taken, and he's almost assuredly gonna be

747
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: the first wide receiver taken. So he's saying, I don't

748
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: have to do this, so I'm fine with it, all right? Next,

749
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: all right?

750
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: According to Saquon, after his move to the Eagles, his

751
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 3: daughter said, does that mean we're gonna start We're gonna

752
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: win now?

753
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 4: Right or wrong?

754
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 3: Saquon's daughter knows ball right or Wrong's daughter?

755
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: It was right. I believe she said it. I'll go

756
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 2: ahead and say she knows ball. I don't think the

757
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: Eagles are gonna be great, but they're gonna better than

758
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: the Giants were. So yeah, you know what I mean.

759
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't wanna. I don't want to talk about Saquon's daughter.

760
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 2: I should have taken this one out of the show. Wed, Yeah,

761
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: all right? Next uh.

762
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 3: The NFL is considering changes to the hip drop to

763
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: hip drop, tackling kickoff rules and potentially allowing for replay

764
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: reviews of whether a game clock expired before the snap.

765
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: But why right or wrong? Constant rule changes are good

766
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 3: for sports.

767
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: In theory, they're good for sports, and practicality they're not.

768
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: We can't spend all football season every year being like

769
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 2: the refs aren't any good and then in the off

770
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: season be like add more things to their plate, Like

771
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 2: it just doesn't make sense. We the we go through

772
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: the same thing every time where it's like the refs

773
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: are not competent, make their job harder, and so uh

774
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: and so I just I don't. I so in a

775
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 2: perfect world, I understand a lot of these wanted adjustments

776
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: in the world in which we live. It doesn't make sense. Next.

777

786
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 2: Kevin and I were at this The reason we'd have

787
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: a podcast last Thursday was because I was speaking at

788
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: this media conference. Kevin was there. So Kevin and I

789

793
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: for what you will if you guys are interested in

794
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: my latest mock draft. Uh. When I open up my

795
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: downloaded files, this says, pff. Mock results parentheses, twenty eight

796
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: in parentheses. So this is my twenty eighth that I've done,

797
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: but this is where it landed. With the first round pick,

798
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs took Lad McConkie. We then traded Lugerius Snead

799
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: for the forty third overall pick to Atlanta. With that

800
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: draft pick, we took Kamari Lassiter, the cornerback. With the

801
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 2: final pick of the second round, we took Jatavian Sanders,

802
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: the tight end from Texas. We then made another trade.

803
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 2: We traded down from eighty one. I'm sorry. We traded

804
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 2: up from ninety five, packaging the one hundred and fifty

805
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 2: ninth pick to get pick eighty one to target Texas

806
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: a defensive cackle to Andree Sweat. We then took another

807
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: corner cam heart in the fourth round with our fifth

808
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 2: round pick, took a value positioned Zack Zenter, the guard

809
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: from Michigan who got hurt in his final collegiate game.

810
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 2: Probably gonna have to miss the year, but that's a

811
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 2: guy that should be a Day two pick. That's gonna

812
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 2: fall because of the injury. The Chiefs have Trey Smith

813
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: and Joe Tooney at the guard positions for next year.

814
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 2: But Joe Toney maybe could be gone in a year,

815
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 2: so you slide Zack Zenter into there. Then we traded back.

816
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: This is how sick I've gotten on these mock drafts.

817
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 2: I traded pick one, eight four and the seventh round pick.

818
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the I traded with the Raiders and one

819
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 2: of the things I got back was a future sixth

820
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 2: round pick. But the mock drafts, there's no future drafts.

821
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 2: It's not like I'm actually acquiring that capital to do

822
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: anything with it. It just felt like good value. And

823
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 2: after those trades, I ended up drafting Jalen Green, the

824
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 2: edge rusher from James Madison. Now that's a small college player,

825
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: but he had like eighteen sacks last year. I liked

826
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: the upside. And with the final pick of the draft,

827
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: I took the good looking quarterback from Notre Dame. Sam Hartman.

828
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 2: Felt like he's a guy that, after a couple of

829
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 2: years under Andy, being in the quarterback room with Patrick Mahomes,

830
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: could be a guy that shows enough in preseason that

831
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 2: we can then flip him for maybe like a fourth

832
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: round pick. So go ahead and clip this off for

833
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: social media. My mock draft here, and I'll just share

834
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: it to you know what, m is interesting. I don't

835
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: know if I want to share it to the whole world,

836
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,479
Speaker 2: because that could give those other gms an edge. Let's

837
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: just clip this off on social media and send it

838
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 2: to me so I can distribute it as we want.

839
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: That was mock Draft twenty eight. Let me just try

840
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: demon's pick a random number between fifteen and twenty eight.

841
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 4: Twenty seven.

842
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: That's boring, but okay, twenty seven. Uh twenty seven. Let

843
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 2: me pull up mock draft twenty seven. Uh, oh my goodness.

844
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: That was the one where I had four trade downs.

845
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 2: That's too many. I ended up drafting thirteen players and

846
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 2: had four trade downs. I'm gonna have to pick one

847
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 2: where I didn't do trade It's just so hard. When

848
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 2: there's value out there, you want it, you know what

849
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: I mean. You want to make these trades. So let

850
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 2: me find one where you said twenty one.

851
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 4: Twenty one, all right?

852
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: Perfect? Uh? With the first round, Oh, this one, I

853
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 2: got lad McConkie again. Oh, and then this one, Xavier

854
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 2: Worthy slid all the way to the third round. Oh

855
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 2: my goodness, gracious, I also drafted Zach Zenter again. I

856
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 2: must really like Zach Center. Okay, we can move on.

857
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 2: I don't know where we're at in the show. I

858
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: know I said we were gonna go faster, but uh,

859
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: we can move on. Go ahead, So I gotta read

860
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 2: this one. Yeah. Last week I asked Amanse to watch

861
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: Barbie and Oppenheimer during his day off for the old Barbenheimer.

862
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh that's a great You should make this your profile

863
00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 2: picture to.

864
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 4: Monse, good day.

865
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: Did you do this, Demanse? Uh?

866
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 4: I did. I watched Oppenheimer. I watched Barbie.

867
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

868
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 3: I enjoyed Oppenheimer. There's I gotta go back and rewatch it.

869
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 3: I get Oppenheimer's the bad guy for creating the bomb. Yeah,

870
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 3: and then like they do past with like regular color

871
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: and they do future stuff with like black O.

872
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 4: It's like, but I.

873
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 3: Really enjoyed the movie and honestly taught me a little

874
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 3: bit more about Hiro Shuman than I already knew.

875
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 4: I did not do too much digging in that.

876
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 3: But uh, but yeah, Barbie, I gotta say, man, I

877
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 3: was not entertained at all. And this is not just

878
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: like a boy thing, like it was just like I

879
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 3: don't that's not the it's it's it was cool.

880
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 4: It was it was a nice movie.

881
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: No, that's fine. You don't want to step on it.

882
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: You just felt like you didn't like it. I get it.

883
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just it just wasn't It just wasn't for me.

884
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: But so here is. I understood the message of Barbie,

885
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 2: and I thought it was a art one. What I

886
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 2: found so fascinating about Barbie was the way they I

887
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: think smartly created the Barbie universe. I was because when

888
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 2: I heard they were making a Barbie movie, and like,

889
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: how are they gonna do it? But the fact they

890
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 2: had all the different types of Barbies and all that, I.

891
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 4: Thought it was.

892
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 2: Actually I thought it was a well thought out movie.

893
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: But we don't have to Definitely definitely well done. No,

894
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm not saying the movie sucks. It's just not for me.

895
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah I did, But yes, I loved it was very cool. Okay,

896
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 3: and very loud.

897
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 2: Quick break, Yeah, very loud. It was great. Quick break,

898
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: right back, answer some of your questions. I talked about

899
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: James Harden closing out in Kawhi What's Right? Yes, all right,

900

Speaker 2: welcome back in What's Right with great demand. Before we

901
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: get to the listener questions, go ahead and let's talk

Speaker 3: Quick all right, Travis Kelsey, No, I'm joking you. At

904
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 3: the top of the so you tease at the top

905
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 3: of the show. James Harden played defense on UH for

906
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 3: the first time.

907
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 4: Ever in his in his career. He gets Kawhi Leonard

908
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 4: too bad.

909
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 3: It was against his own teammate, obviously, what was going

910
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: on there?

911
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 4: To me?

912
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: He just demon's do you know when this happened in

913
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 2: the game.

914
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 3: It was third quarter, right, third quarter? They were up.

915
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 3: It was eighty to sixty eighty to sixty one.

916
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were up. It was either eighty to sixty

917
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: one or eighty one sixty one. They were either up

918
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 2: nineteen or twenty one points with twenty minutes left in

919
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: this game. He can't do that. He just can't do it.

920
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 2: The it is, I understand, you're playing the Blazers, you

921
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 2: feel like you're gonna win, You're dominating them. I get it.

922
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 2: This is outrageous. I mean, it's just I don't want

923
00:55:55,120 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 2: to be, you know, someone that makes a big deal

924
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 2: out of minor things. But this is not a minor

925
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 2: thing to me. And this is like, this is and

926
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 2: I love the NBA, but this is the type of

927
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 2: thing that if it happened in another sport, people would

928
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 2: be losing their minds. Like let's say that the go

929
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 2: ahead and.

930
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 3: Football would be tackling your running back like you're going

931
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 3: to like making your running.

932
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 2: Back like try to juke you because you're up twenty

933
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: four in the third quarter, Like this is it's just I.

934
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 3: But it's like if anybody in the league is going

935
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 3: to do that. I was saying, it's it's James Harden.

936
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: Like that's the other problem, Like you don't you you

937
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 2: haven't earned the right to be this silly. I'm sorry

938
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 2: you haven't. You just haven't. And so I hate it.

939
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: I legitimately hate it. All right, let's get to some

940
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 2: of the listener questions.

941
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 4: Do you think let's be explained, like will he have

942
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 4: to speed said?

943
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 2: He was like it was good for team vibes, that's

944
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 2: what he said, Harden answer, and he was like yeah.

945
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 2: He was like, I'm just trying to keep it loose

946
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 2: and happy and good for teams.

947
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 3: Oh all right, well, Gabe Felters, So that's what it is.

948
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 3: Gabe Felter said, Hey, Nick, I believe the Chiefs could

949
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 3: sit at thirty two and pick what's best for the

950
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 3: best for them.

951
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 4: And attackle wide receiver.

952
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 3: Should the Chiefs be aggressive to unload Sneed while they

953
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 3: could get something for him unlike t Higgins.

954
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 2: Well, listen, the Chief's been ready to trade Snead, but

955
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 2: the problem is that nobody they had. The Chiefs had

956
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: worked out the Sneed compensation as far as what they

957
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: would get in return for him with another team, but

958
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 2: in order for that team to agree of the trade,

959
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: Snead then has to agree to a long term contract

960
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: with them. And Steed evidently wants twenty three million a year,

961
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 2: and no team's been willing to pay it, and so

962
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 2: I think teams are willing to pay twenty but not

963
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: twenty three, and so the hang up. So the Chiefs

964
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 2: clearly are prepared to trade Sneed, but also because they've

965
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 2: been so judicious in free agency, they don't have to

966
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 2: trade them. And they can carry the nineteen million dollar

967
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: cap hit this year because they signed Chris and because

968
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 2: they signed Hollywood. They can sit there at thirty two,

969
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 2: and if a D lineman, corner, wide receiver, or tackle

970
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 2: they love is sitting there, they can draft any of

971
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 2: those spots. It's not like, oh my god, we have

972
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: to get this position. We have this player ranked as

973
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: the forty ninth best player in the draft, but he's

974
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: the best left of that position, so I have take

975
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 2: him at thirty two. It also allows them to trade

976
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: down if they want to, if they have a bunch

977
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 2: of guys they still like, so they can, as as

978
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 2: some would say, let the draft come to them rather

979
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 2: than rush it. All right, go ahead.

980
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 3: Salvador Finelli asked question for demonte how are you enjoying

981
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 3: LA compared to New York?

982
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, traffic, traffics traffics.

983
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 3: Traffic is traffic, uh And I hear a lot of

984
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 3: talks of people comparing New York traffic to Los Angeles traffic,

985
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 3: and Los Angeles traffic is in the league of its own.

986
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I like driving everywhere that I go,

987
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 3: though I don't really miss walking. But yeah, no, I'm

988
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 3: really enjoying it. The weather's obviously super dope. The people

989
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: are interesting. There's a time that I was I hate

990
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 3: it when people like when like the best example I

991
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 3: could think of is when I got in that car

992
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 3: accident like two and a half years ago. The guy

993
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,959
Speaker 3: like hit me from the side and they got out,

994
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 3: and I had a green light, and they were speedy,

995
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 3: and they got out and they're like what the f bro,

996
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 3: like what And I'm just like, dude, do you think

997
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 3: that I wanted to get in a car accident with you? Like,

998
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 3: what's the point in getting out in New York? That

999
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 3: was in Kansas was in Kansas City. I haven't got

1000
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 3: an accident New York, thank god.

1001
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, so it's just like I was.

1002
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Like, no, I was trying to play pretend, you know, like,

1003
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: what the hell are we talking about? What a car

1004
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 2: accident two and a half years ago? Okay that was

1005
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 2: Kansas City.

1006
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

1007
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 3: Basically, I just think some of the people are hoity

1008
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 3: in the in the LA area. Like I was pulling

1009
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 3: out and it was just like one of those areas

1010
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 3: where in order to get in I have to kind

1011
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 3: of pull out of where I'm at and a civilian,

1012
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm on the sidewalk, I get that. A civilian walks

1013
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 3: past my car and literally stops, turns around, bends over

1014
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 3: and looks inside of my car. And I'm like, dude,

1015
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to I'm just trying to go like

1016
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 3: what do you I'm sorry that I'm.

1017
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 4: Right here you were able to walk around, But yeah,

1018
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 4: I'm loving it. It's cool.

1019
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 3: I haven't been doing too much lately with the Achilles,

1020
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 3: but excited to get back out there.

1021
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: Okay, good, Caleb asks, would I ever consider making a

1022
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,959
Speaker 2: top fifty quarterback list? I got it, like the NBA

1023
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 2: Top fifty list. That's an interesting project. Top fifty quarterback

1024
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 2: because top fifty NFL players is so hard because like,

1025
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: how do you cross pollinate positions offense defense? Top fifty

1026
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks could be fun. And then Usio says, shout out

1027
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 2: to Demanse, you're improving your game. Real progress being made

1028
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 2: as a host compared to a year ago. More focus,

1029
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: more knowledge, more good takes, keep it up, one love.

1030
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 2: I totally agree with it. I actually had somebody ask

1031
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 2: me the other day if this is what you want

1032
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 2: to do professionally, like pod like, is this what Demonse

1033
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 2: wants to do? And I told him I was like,

1034
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I was like, I don't you know.

1035
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 2: This has always kind of been a side gig. But

1036
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 2: the fact that somebody asked that, I think speaks to

1037
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 2: your progression over the year and a half.

1038
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

1039
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,600
