<v Speaker 2>three A Ton to Do Today, we are live on YouTube.

<v Speaker 2>Apologies that Tuesday we were not able to be live

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube, so we will make sure we carve out

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>real time for your questions and comments at the end

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 2>of today's show. So if you would like to right

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>now start sending in some questions or comments, you feel

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 2>free also and update real quick. I have asked you

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>guys to start, you know, subscribing to the YouTube page, liking, commenting,

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>leaving reviews, all those things. We are now up to

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and forty six thousand subscribers. So I would

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>love if we could get to one hundred and fifty

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand subscribers by round two of the NBA Playoffs. That

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:33.559
<v Speaker 2>feels about right about six weeks from now. So let's yeah,

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 2>that's not a huge ask, right, that's doable. Let's make

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 2>that goal for by May first to be at one

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. There's no plaque or anything

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that goes for that. By the way. That plaque that

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>we have demands is it on a wall in your

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>apartment or is it leaned up against a wall in

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>your apartment. There's really that.

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 3>I guess it's going to be like laid down somewhere.

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>And I was and I was going to be able

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 3>to go one up with it being propped up. But yes,

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>it's propped up. It's not hung up, but.

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 4>It's not just laying down.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like on on your dresser, leaning against to where

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>it's at eye level for people, so you can show it,

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>but not quite enough to like get the hammer and nail.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Fine, un do all that.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I get it, by the way, By the way,

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Deposit.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, listen, man, we've all been there. All right, here

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>is what is not on today's show. Not on today's show.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Harden playing defense on KWHI. That might actually somebody asked

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>me a question in the comments on that, because I've

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>now decided I want that in the show. Not enough

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to reorganize the whole thing. It's the dumbest play in

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>NBA history, and that's a league that has employed Jordan

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Poole for five years. So we'll get to that. Best

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>sporting event of the year for some March Madness tips

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>off in about ninety minutes, which means, you know, if

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>there's ever a day for me to make massive errors

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 2>or drop an f bomb on TV, today's to day

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>because nobody will be watching. It's a weird thing doing

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a sports television show and you know nobody's watching it.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>But that's gonna be the case. Listen for maybe you

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 2>people catch it on YouTube after the fact, and then

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>what might be the biggest story in sports. So you

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>might say, why is it not in the show? The

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>show hey Otani, his interpreter here is the loose facts,

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna put facts in quotes. The story as

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>is being told is show. Hey Otani's interpreter was four

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half million in the hole gambling show Hey

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>paid it off, and there is now an investigation. I'm

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>going to go ahead and say more facts are going

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>to come out, and I am not making any allegations

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>with that. I'm not trying to protect anyone. I'm not

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to fame anyone. I am simply saying this. The

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>show Aotani discussion right now feels like election night coverage.

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>When all we have is those six people that vote

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>in Delaware or wherever Vermont at midnight and it's like, oh,

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>four to two, Trump's ahead, It's like, well, we could

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 2>spend time analyzing that, or we could wait literally a

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.799
<v Speaker 2>few hours or in this case, a few days before

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 2>we have real data. So I think we're gonna get

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>real information on the show Hey story, and rather than

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>spend a lot of time on it when we have

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 2>minimal information, I'd rather wait. So my guess is by

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the next time we're doing the pod, there will be

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>real reporting on it. And I also have the ability.

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm good pals with Jeff Passing, so all probably hit

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 2>him up this weekend and ask him to give me

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the dummies version of what is known and what is

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>believed and then we can maybe talk about it more Tuesday.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>But the speculation right now to me seems to be

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a fool's errand so we're not going

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>to spend a lot of time on that demanse. What

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>are we going to spend a lot of time on?

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead?

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 4>The Bucks and Celtics. They played last night.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Damon Tatum put on a little clinic and the Bucks

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 3>we're able to keep the game pretty close despite not

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 3>having Giannis. So we already know a few of your

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 3>thoughts on these teams in the East. But you've it's

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of conflicting. You've got the Bucks as your

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>finals pick, but you have the Celtics a top of

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>your tiers of your tiers right now?

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 4>What's up with that?

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so right now, the Celtics deserve the respect to

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>say they're the best team in the league. They have

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 2>a top six all time point differential. That's meaningful to

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>me like that is, and the other teams on that

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.159
<v Speaker 2>all time point differential list are some of the best

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>teams ever. They have a universally respected excellent starting five,

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 2>they're healthy, and they have seven wins, more than every

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 2>other team in the league. They're gonna finish like sixty

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>five and seventeen, and no other team in the league

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 2>is going to get to sixty wins, So they deserve

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>to be a top the tiers, so to speak. I

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>can believe that while also believing Milwaukee or Denver would

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 2>beat them in a series. And so to me, those

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>are the Those two ideas are not in conflict, at

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>least in my mind. I also think Miami, well, it's

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of that, and it's a yeah, I

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 2>guess it's a lot of that. It's not that I

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>don't think the Celtics are a good playoff postseason team.

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>They've made a final, They've made four conference finals since

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Tatum's been there. It's more that I think the Bucks

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>have been a work in progress all year. But if

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>we pause and take a moment and say, what we

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>thought of Milwaukee last year was they needed a guy

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>just like Dame, and they added Dame. Now, the defense

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 2>took a step back, But I think some of the

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>skepticism about Milwaukee was, all right, if you add a

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>guy like Dame, what does it do to Yannis? Well,

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Yannis offensively, and he didn't play last night. Obviously, you

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 2>could Argue is having the best season of his career.

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>He's averaging point three beneath his career high end points,

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>he's averaging by a full half assist his career high

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>and assists, and he's averaging by four percentage points his

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>best shooting percentage ever. He's thirty one points, eleven rebound,

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>six assists, sixty two percent from the field every single night.

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 2>And here's the other thing that to me is noteworthy

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>about what the Bucks have done recently, including last night.

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 2>To bring it to last night, the Bucks ability as

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>of late to play these other good, too excellent teams

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>and to play them without Yannis and to be really good,

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I think is highly impressive. So they didn't have Yannis

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Clippers game they won. They didn't have Yiannis

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Sun's game they won. They didn't have Yiannis

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 2>last night, and that was a three point game against

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>a full strength Celtics team in Boston. I actually think that,

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 2>and I think Yannis missing a little bit of time

0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 2>here could actually be good for the Buck in this regard.

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>It allows Dame to really get in a pre postseason rhythm,

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>which Dame's been good but not great this year. Dame

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 2>has not been as good as he was last year.

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>And Dame talked about kind of the emotional toll that

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, he got divorced, he had to move, he

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>feels lonely. All those things are real things. Sidebar of

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:32.119
<v Speaker 2>the sidebar, demanse, did you see the DeAndre Ayton quote? Uh,

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>nothing wrong, no, no, no, so on himself. So I'm

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna read it to you and then I'm I'll tie

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>this to the Dame stuff in a moment. So I'm

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 2>going to read you the story from Kurd Hyland on

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Pro Basketball Talk. It has taken DeAndre in a while

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 2>to adjustin Portland, both on and off the court. Back

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>in November, he averaged fourteen and nine shooting fifty nine percent.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Solid numbers, but Ayton was passive much of the time,

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 2>not the inside presence Blazers were counting on. Since the

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>break eight and has averaged twenty four and fourteen on

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>sixty four percent. So what changed? Aighten talked about that

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 2>adjustment with Aaron Finchris of The Oregonian. Uh, and this

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>is what he wrote, or this is what he said, quote,

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 2>my body just wasn't my body? People forget the humane

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>difference of me adjusting to everything.

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I did see that. Just being good mattress.

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Just being yes, yes, just being comfortable and waking up. Quote.

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have a bed for quite some time. I

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>was on an air mattress, just trying to figure things out.

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>So I'm now going to give you two facts. Fact one,

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:59.359
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Ayton is twenty five years old. Fact two, DeAndre

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>eight and currently makes thirty two million dollars a year.

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna add a third fact, Fact three, DeAndre Ayton

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>makes his money with his body. If you are a

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 2>grown man and you are in the mid eight figure

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>earnings club, you know what, I'm going to lower that.

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.319
<v Speaker 2>If you're in the seven fig you know what I'm

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 2>going to lower that. If you're in the mid six

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 2>figure earnings club. If you're a grown man making more

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>than two hundred thousand dollars a year and your body

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>is how you make your money, you're not allowed to

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 2>sleep on an air mattress for more than one night.

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 2>And that has to be a really disastrous scenario for

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 2>it to be one night. That is when he's like,

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 2>when he's like, oh my goodness, the humane part of it,

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 2>here's the here's the adult part of it. I'm a

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>super rich guy. This is affecting my performance at work.

0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 2>I need the best bed of available in the Portland

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 2>area delivered to my house today. And oh wait, you're

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna charge me, you know, triple for overnight shipping. You

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>know what, I've got it, and it's my job to

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>make they pay me this, to make sure things like

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>sleeping on an air mattress are not part of you know,

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the potential difficulties. So when people say the humane parts

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 2>of NBA players, I guess I'm in humane. There that

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 2>that quote right there. Sorry, DeAndre Aiden, You're not a

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 2>serious person. You're not an adult yet. I am not

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with you being a major part of my franchise. Now,

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Dame saying I'm lonely and I'm going through a doce

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>that I totally understand. Money doesn't fix that. But if

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 2>you are super rich and you are having a problem

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>that literally money fixes like I do. Like, let me

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>ask you this. If DeAndre Ayton had said, well, you know,

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't playing well because the place I moved to

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the fridge and stove were broken, so I hadn't eaten

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>for a week. Would you say, oh, this poor guy,

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 2>or would you say, you know what, buddy, you got

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to figure that one out. There's options there. The air

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 2>mattress is not a viable excuse. So what I try

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 2>to be an empathetic person, and for Dame going through

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a divorce, I can only imagine how horrifying moving away

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>from your family. Those are real things that I think

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.079
<v Speaker 2>too often people are like, ah, you're rich, get over it.

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Money doesn't help you there. It might ease some of

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 2>the things, like you can see your family easier than

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.079
<v Speaker 2>someone who's not rich can. But so I feel for

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Dame in that regard. DeAndre Ayton talking about sleeping on

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 2>an air mattress is, honest to god, one of the

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>most embarrassing quotes from an athlete in years, like give

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 2>me a break by I didn't.

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 4>Get that either.

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I also just told one of the producers of the

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 3>podcast that I couldn't watch TV over the weekend by accident.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 3>But it's like similar scenario internet. They're actually not similar scenario. No,

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 3>not internet problem. I was just tied up, had some things,

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 3>but I initially led with I wasn't able to watch

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 3>TV this weekend, and that just wasn't true. So it's

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 3>like a But the thing I didn't I didn't understand.

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get why he was saying he had to

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 3>sleep on air match. He could have slept in an

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 3>hotel next year. A bunch of other also listen.

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>While you and eight and are the same age, you

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and Aighton do not have the same ability to fix

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>problems with money. So like if you if your work

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>was hampered, if when you moved to La it was like, Man,

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm falling behind at work because I can't work from

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 2>home because the Internet's not set up in my house. Yet,

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>that does not make you less of an adult. That

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>is a legitimate excuse for someone that is starting off

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 2>in their career. If you made thirty two million, if

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>every two weeks to Monse, you got direct deposited a

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 2>million four in your bank account and you told your

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>employer you're like, sorry behind on emails, my hot spot

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 2>got cut off. Then they'd say, Okay, you're not a

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 2>serious person. So how does this have to do with

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Celtics bucks. Oh, because I was talking about and here's

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the other thing I said about the Celtics. Tell me

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 2>if you agree with me to Monse. This Celtics season

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>feels a little raven Z in this regard, if you

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>don't get over the hump, now, when are you going

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>to so embeid? It's hurt the Bucks fired their coach.

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 2>They don't, you know what I mean? They the Bucks start.

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Last year with the Celtics too. I guess now they

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 3>got Porzingis. They made the extra moves.

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>And they got Porzingis, they got Drew, you know.

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 4>What I mean?

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 2>The last year they weren't the one seed Milwaukee was.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 2>There were a lot of pieces to it. And so

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>there is an element of if this Celtics team this

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>season all add one caveat, if they get to the

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>finals and play a very competitive series against Denver and

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Jokis just kills them, then maybe the Celtics don't retool

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>anything and they're just like, you know what, we are

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>running up against a generational player the correct But you

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>might say, well, that's what happened to the Ravens, but

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>that isn't what Because the this year's Chiefs team didn't

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>have the profile that this year's Nuggets team has, Nobody

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>is watching this year's Nuggets team saying this is the

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 2>worst Nuggets team in years, that there's something wrong with them.

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>So but if the Celtics fail to make the finals,

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 2>or make the finals and lose to anyone but Denver,

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 2>or make the finals and lose to Denver but it's

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 2>a washout, then I think they have real hard questions

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 2>to answer about are we really really really good but

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be good enough? All right? Next?

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 3>All right, So Caleb had his prode yesterday and his

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 3>future teammate Keenan Allen was in attendance. You said on

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.719
<v Speaker 3>your show yesterday, if the Caleb will fall somewhere between

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw, so that means.

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 4>About three Super Bowls.

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me, I like, how you put him right

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:38.480
<v Speaker 2>at where.

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.919
<v Speaker 3>Patrick Mahomes is right now, give you a little time.

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 2>No, no, So that's not even how it happened. Wilds

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>went through the fifteen most successful number one overall pick

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks and he was like, do you think Caleb will

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 2>be better than this guy? Then this guy then? And

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.400
<v Speaker 2>so right, he asked me, will he be better than Aikman?

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I said yes? And the next name he said was Bradshaw,

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and I said no, So that you know what I mean.

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 2>That's where it was. That was so much that he's

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>necessarily winning that many Super Bowls, But it is that

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I think he will be a better player than Aikman.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Bradshaw is, you know, kind of universally considered one of

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>the ten greatest quarterbacks ever to am I gonna go

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 2>ahead and install Caleb there. That seems a little too bullish,

0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>but I do think Caleb is gonna be great.

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 4>But go ahead, Yeah.

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, with that said, how long do you think

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 3>it'll How long do you think it'll be until we

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Sue Mahomes and Caleb Williams face off in a Super Bowl.

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 2>So here's the funny thing about super Bowls. We very

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 2>rarely get Marino Montana. Now I use that example because

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 2>we did get marinomn Tanna in the one Super Bowl

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Marino one where it's like, these are the two best

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks alive and they're in the Super Bowl, and you know,

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 2>you got Aikman Kelly twice. Uh, But neither Aikman nor

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Kelly were really in the argument for the best quarterback

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 2>in the league. You did get FARV Lway, but Lway

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 2>was at the very very end and was no longer

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:35.199
<v Speaker 2>MVP Lway. But it's pretty rare that you get, you know,

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 2>two top three or four quarterbacks against each other in

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a super Bowl. So if we like, let's just go

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 2>backwards and see and so, yes, I do think Caleb's

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 2>going to be a superstar quarterback. But and some of

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 2>that has just happenstance, Like Brady and Manning played in

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 2>the same conference forever, so they played five times in

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs, but they could never play in the super

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Bowl because they for the entirety of Manning's career, they

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 2>were both in the AFC. So here are the Super

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Bowl matchups that we've had, just going backwards, Mahomes party,

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 2>so that's number one versus like number nineteen. Great Mahomes hurt.

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes hurts. Now that was the MVP and the MVP

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 2>runner up. But I don't know how that's going to

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 2>age historically. People are gonna be like, oh wow, Burrow

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Stafford pretty good. Two guys both firmly in the top

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 2>seven or eight. Brady Mahomes obviously a legendary matchup. It

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't turn. The game ended up not being a good game,

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>But that was from a quarterback perspective, probably the best

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.360
<v Speaker 2>you could have hoped for. Uh, Mahomes Garoppolo, no good

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Brady Goff when golf was at that you know, I understand, well,

0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>golf wasn't struggling yet, and that one looked better in

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 2>the moment than it does now. And also that was

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>a thirteen to three Brady Fowles whatever, Brady Matt Ryan.

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 2>The year Matt Ryan won NFL MVP. That's pretty great one.

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:13.880
<v Speaker 2>And the ended up being one of the greatest Super

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Bowls ever. Manning Peyton, Manning cam Newton. But that year

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Peyton got benched. Like that year Peyton was at the

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 2>very very end. So Peyton got hurt and got benched

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.239
<v Speaker 2>and then came back. I think he had You're not

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna believe the year Peyton won his last Super Bowl

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Demonsey And I love this part of the I know

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I've said this so many times, but I love this

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>part of the pod, the like natural discovery from things

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:45.919
<v Speaker 2>that happened when you were in high school or earlier. Yeah,

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not being a smart ass here.

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 3>You're wandering off into uncharted territory for me, like I'm

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:53.880
<v Speaker 3>learning exactly.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 2>And so so Peyton's final year in Denver, he had

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 2>nine touch down, seventeen interceptions and a sixty eight passer

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 2>rating and they won the Super Bowl, so like whenever,

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.280
<v Speaker 2>So it's such a unique spot. Peyton's second run really good.

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>They had von Miller, Demarket, they had they were the

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 2>best defenses in the league. Peyton's second year in Denver,

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 2>when they made the Super Bowl and lost, he had

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 2>fifty five hundred yards and fifty five touchdowns, one of

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the great maybe the greatest quarterbacking season ever. But then

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>by the end of his third year, you could tell, oh, wait,

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 2>he's not the same guy. And then his final year

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 2>in Denver was he got hurt. They didn't they brock

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Osweiler took over, Peyton, then took back over, and Peyton

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 2>was just not the And even in that playoff run,

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 2>in that entire playoff run when they won the title,

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Peyton threw for two touchdowns and one pick. Just wasn't

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the same guy, all right, So back to what we

0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 2>were doing here, Russ Brady, Russell Wilson was pretty good,

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 2>and Russell Wilson prime Peyton Manning was pretty good. But

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>then you have things like Flaco Cap Brady Eli Big

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Ben Rogers is probably the best, like Caleb Mahomes possibility,

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 2>which is, you know, Rogers at that point was maybe

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, in root to being considered maybe the best

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in the league alongside Brady and Manning. Big Ben

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 2>was already a super Bowl champion a couple times over.

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 2>And so that's a that's a really good one. And

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 2>obviously Breeze Peyton when it was prime Peyton. So that's

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 2>just you know, going through the last fifteen years. So

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:54.680
<v Speaker 2>it is our bet if Caleb makes a super Bowl,

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 2>and I believe he will, he's almost it's almost guaranteed

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 2>that it's gonna be a great super Bowl matchup because

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 2>it's either gonna be him against Mahomes or him against Alan,

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:09.639
<v Speaker 2>or him against Lamar, or him against c J. You

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 2>know it's gonna be or him against the Prince or

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 2>him against It's justin it's gonna be. It's very hard

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to imagine an AFC team without a great quarterback going,

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, making it to the super

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Bowl in this era. But yeah, I my confidence in

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Caleb is as high as it's been.

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:31.159
<v Speaker 4>Question Okay, I mean, do you think he will be

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 4>there the next.

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Three Well, so here's another thing, and I know that

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.640
<v Speaker 2>this podcast, we're kind of doing bit of history lessons,

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 2>but the quarterbacks that make super Bowls make them early.

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Russ made two on his rookie deal. Mahomes made two

0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 2>on his rookie deal. Burrow made one on his rookie deal.

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Cam was it the end of his rookie deal. Flacco,

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.679
<v Speaker 2>he's not a great player, was at the end of

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>his rookie deal. Uh. You know, ever since the New

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Pay when the Eagles made it, they had Wentz on

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 2>his rookie deal. He got hurt. Foles was the backup,

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 2>but Wentz got him to twelve and three or whatever

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 2>they were thirteen and two something, and then Jalen obviously

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 2>on his rookie deal. Purdy was on his rookie deal.

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 2>So if Caleb is the guy that I think he is,

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the Bears probably should make a super Bowl in the

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 2>next five years. If he is the guy that now.

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Lamar's great, he hasn't made one. Josh Allen's great, he

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 2>hasn't made one. But those guys have had to go

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 2>through Mahomes. Their best years have all been ended by Patrick.

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You don't really have that so much in the NFC

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 3>It seems like you just I honestly, these situations always

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 3>confused me. I thought of it in my mind for

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:01.640
<v Speaker 3>some reason, I thought of my work.

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 4>It's probably really bad.

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.239
<v Speaker 3>But as far as when teams trade up, are they

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 3>trade away players to get higher in the draft. What

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.679
<v Speaker 3>if like the forty nine Ers gave Brandon ayyuk in

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 3>like oh, trailing doesn't even play there anymore.

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:13.120
<v Speaker 4>I guess, like.

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Brandon Ayuken brock Party maybe to maybe move up to

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 3>the second spot or maybe take the first spot from

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>the Bears. I get it's very likely that some I

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 3>always say no, but in the off chance that the

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Bears were attracted to those two.

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying is no, no, no. So let me

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 2>what you're saying is what a team that has? Because

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I know what you're saying, I don't know if the

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 2>audience knows exactly what you're saying. What a team that

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 2>feels like it has it has really good players but

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 2>not good enough to break through? Would they want to

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of reset the quarterbacks key scale clock.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Because you get to pay them much too much?

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Exactly right? So the Niners aren't a great example because

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>their quarterback doesn't make any money, but the the So

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 2>the example for that is, would if the Dallas Cowboys

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:15.920
<v Speaker 2>said to the New England Patriots, we'll trade you Dak

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 2>for the third overall pick. You get stability, a known

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 2>factor at quarterback while you try to build up the

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 2>rest of your team, and we can resign cd Re,

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>sign Micah, try to so without demonster. It's you didn't

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 2>realize it when you were saying it. This is exactly

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:39.959
<v Speaker 2>what the Niners did with Trey Lance. They had Jimmy

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 2>g on a semi expensive contract, they had been to

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl, they had been banging on the door.

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 2>They weren't good enough, so instead of trading players, they

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 2>traded three first round draft picks to move up so

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:57.479
<v Speaker 2>they could start the rookie contract clock over. That's what

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:01.480
<v Speaker 2>they did, and so they're, yeah, what you're described. Bill

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Barnwell wrote an article four or five years ago about

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 2>this exact question, and it was about the Rams with golf,

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and he was ahead of his time on it was

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 2>before they paid golf. He was because it was when

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 2>golf the bloom was coming off the rows a bit.

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 2>And the question was, would there ever be a team

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 2>that drafts a quarterback, develops that quarterback, turns that quarterback

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 2>into a franchise quarterback. And instead of giving him the

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 2>massive extension that then makes them have to tear away

0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 2>pieces of their team, trades him for a top five

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 2>pick so they can start the process over and always

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 2>and always have a superstar supporting cast, you know what

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like would And so that to me is

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a legitimate question. If you have a quarterback, let me

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 2>find the right quarterback example of who you've got to

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 2>really thread the needle, and you've got to have the

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 2>confidence in your own drafting and evaluations that you can then.

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 2>So I'll give you an example. If I were the

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Miami Dolphins and the Minnesota Vikings, we're willing to give me.

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 2>The Vikings wouldn't do this, but just follow me here

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the eleventh pick of the draft for Tua. And I'm like,

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 2>all right, sitting there, I can draft Pinnix, I might

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 2>be able to draft McCarthy. Maybe they love Bonnicks, which

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't understand. Whatever, but are we better off making

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:53.719
<v Speaker 2>sure we can keep Waddle, we can keep Tyreek, we

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 2>can do all these things rather than this offseason pay

0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Tua like he's great when we know he has a ceiling.

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 2>That to me is a legitimate question, Like that's a

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 2>legit correct, and so I I would the now quarterbacks

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>like you mentioned Justin Herbert. Herbert I think is too

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>talented to roll the dice on that. But the Chargers

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>right now are drafting, and the way his contract works

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 2>because they've already paid him, uh, they could. They can't

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>actually trade him right now, but we know how much

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Harball loves JJ McCarthy. They're sitting at five, he coach McCarthy.

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 2>In this fake world where uh Justin, where Justin Herbert's tradeable?

0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Would it be a viable thought exercise that someone like

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers, like, you know what, we don't want to

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:55.440
<v Speaker 2>have to cut Keenan Allen or trade Keenan Allen. We

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, we don't want to have to tear our

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:00.960
<v Speaker 2>team down, and we want to get younger through the draft.

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>You know what could you get for Justin Herbert from again,

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll use New England? Would New England give you the

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 2>third overall pick and their second round pick and next

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 2>year's number one for Justin Herbert? The answers yes, they

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>almost assuredly would. And then could we draft our quarterback

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and Marvin Harrison and have an extra first round pick?

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 2>These are legitimate conversations that nobody in NFL front offices

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>is having because trading away a stability at the quarterback

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 2>position is so terrifying. But if you just right, if

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you had, if you had, if you owned the team

0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and ran it and just could do whatever you wanted,

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>it would be an interesting idea. So you didn't the

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I knew what you were saying. You didn't phrase it

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:57.480
<v Speaker 2>exactly right, but it is. It's a smarter idea than

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 2>like you gave yourself credit for it. All right, let's uh. Oh,

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 2>by the way, DeAndre, I'm told.

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.719
<v Speaker 3>He's listening to the show and he actually just sent

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 3>us a picture of his room.

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean it's just I mean,

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>come on, man, I mean that's I mean, come on, man.

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 4>It's hilarious. The basketball.

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>This is why you should watch on YouTube. This is

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 2>why you should subscribe to the show.

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:28.600
<v Speaker 4>All right. Next, all right, So the Jets clearly haven't

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:29.479
<v Speaker 4>learned their lesson.

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they've signed more players that have come off injuries.

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 3>The eleven of their games this year will be coming

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 3>from teams that want that had winning records in twenty

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty three. Another quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, As we're running for

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 3>vice president. Is it time for Jets fans to be

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 3>excited about this coming season or will they just be

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 3>setting themselves up for failure or disappointment.

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing that I just don't understand, and I

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 2>guess I do understand it. I just think it is

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 2>so ludicrous that the we're just find that folks are

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 2>don't have a problem with it. So the oldest tackle

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 2>signed in free agency, the oldest is Tyron Smith. I'm

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:20.600
<v Speaker 2>looking at it on spot rank. He's the only tackle

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>over thirty two years old that has signed in free agency. Okay,

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the Jets also signed or traded for another tackle, Morgan Moses,

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 2>who's a good player and a healthy player. He's also

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty three years old. If we then go to wide receivers,

0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 2>the people like, oh, Mike Williams, isn't that old. The

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 2>wide receivers that have been signed that are older than

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Mike Williams is DeVante Parker who got five million max

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>probably a million guaranteed, and Collins who got I'm trying

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to look at a million guaranteed, and then Mike Williams.

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Those are the only two wide receivers who have signed

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:12.759
<v Speaker 2>who are older than Mike Williams. Why are Tyrantsman and

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Mike Williams available Because in the last two years they

0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 2>have each missed seventeen and eighteen games. So a team

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:23.759
<v Speaker 2>that last year was derailed by having an old injury

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:30.240
<v Speaker 2>prone roster, signed old injury prone players and they're like, ah,

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 2>can't blame us if it goes wrong. So I just

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 2>think it's a ludicrous way to run your team. And

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 2>they're doing it all in service of an old the

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 2>oldest player in the league coming off of torn achilles.

0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:49.720
<v Speaker 2>So I think the Jets are.

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Poorly r getting fired at the end of the season.

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, they made these moves because if they they trying

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to save their jobs, like, ah, this is the old

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 2>you have. This is not a perfect analogy, but I'll

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 2>use it. And people don't do this.

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Let's do it.

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 2>You have squandered half of the company's expense account and

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the next day you have a meeting where they're gonna

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 2>do an audit of it, and you're like, oh my god,

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 2>they expect there to be one hundred thousand dollars here.

0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 2>If they see there's fifty, I'm fired. I'm just fired. Well,

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm gonna take the fifty that's left and

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:45.360
<v Speaker 2>put it on black on one spin of the roulette wheel.

0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:49.760
<v Speaker 2>If I win, then I keep my job. If I lose,

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I was fired anyway, Which for your like game theory

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of your own personal wellbeing, I guess makes sense. But

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 2>for the company, for the people you answer to, it's like,

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:06.440
<v Speaker 2>well wait a minute here, we can't get like the

0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty you blue is gone, but let's not risk another fifty.

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 2>And so the Jets had this amazing twenty twenty two draft.

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:20.760
<v Speaker 2>They got Sauce Garrett Wilson, Jermaine Johnson, and Breece Hall.

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 2>And then last year was totally squandered because they chased

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the Aaron Rodgers rabbit without ever addressing the offensive line.

0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.799
<v Speaker 2>And now maybe they're gonna squander this year trying to

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:35.839
<v Speaker 2>build as if the NFL doesn't exist after this year.

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 2>So I don't buy it. I don't like the hype,

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know what evidence people have that Aaron

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers is gonna be great again. He what last year?

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:49.759
<v Speaker 2>He was injured the year before, he was mediocre all

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 2>year long, So we've got to go aways back, like

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady has been great more recently than Aaron Rodgers

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:01.359
<v Speaker 2>has been great. That's noteworthy, all right.

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:03.919
<v Speaker 4>Next, pretty noteworthy, all right.

0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:07.480
<v Speaker 3>So rumors are forty nine Ers whide receiver Brandon Ayuk

0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 3>could be on the run.

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:10.839
<v Speaker 4>He's been linked to Pittsburgh.

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I think for those watching on YouTube, we may show

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 3>a tweet, uh but you So.

0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Here's let me just add some context here. He tweeted

0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to Mike Tomlins saying that they're saying we look like twins.

0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I see a resemblance. But here's why it's noteworthy.

0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Ayuk had not tweeted in eleven months. So he gets

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 2>linked to the Steelers by friend of the Pod Andrew Philipponi,

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 2>who broke that story, by the way, and then he

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.720
<v Speaker 2>tweets about it. So that's why there's a little smoke

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:48.919
<v Speaker 2>where there might be some fire. But go ahead, I guess.

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 3>So you said that signs for changes to come in

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco. So question is, so the forty nine Ers

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:57.760
<v Speaker 3>in for the for a big regression like you predicted

0:37:57.800 --> 0:37:58.319
<v Speaker 3>last year.

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that they're in for a big regression.

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 2>And to be fair, last year I still had them

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:07.560
<v Speaker 2>making the playoffs. I just thought quarterback play would bite

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 2>them earlier than it did. It turned out it didn't

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.560
<v Speaker 2>bite them to the Super Bowl, so belief for them.

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 2>But uh, here is here is what is trip. They

0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 2>currently have the highest paid running back in football, the

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 2>highest paid full back in football, the highest paid tight

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.600
<v Speaker 2>end in football, the highest paid left tackle in football,

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the highest paid defensive player of any position in football,

0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the highest paid middle linebacker in football. That's six positions.

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:41.839
<v Speaker 2>They also pay Deebo three year, seventy million bucks. When

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:46.479
<v Speaker 2>all of those things happen, it's hard to then pay

0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Ayuk, right, And that's the beef. The beef is

0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he wants a contract. And if the Niners believe Purdy

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:57.000
<v Speaker 2>is the real deal, they know that at some point

0:38:57.000 --> 0:38:59.759
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have to pay him. He's gonna go from

0:38:59.840 --> 0:39:05.520
<v Speaker 2>one million to fifty million. So the point that I

0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 2>am making is, oh, and they signed who's the big

0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:11.840
<v Speaker 2>d tackle they signed in the offseason to a big oh,

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Javon Hargrave. They gave him a big deal this past offseason.

0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 2>That's why Quaton I don't want to say quietly, but

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 2>they cut Eric Armstead because the fight, the salary gap.

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Chickens are starting to come home to roost a bit

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and it's why not winning the Super Bowl last year

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:36.399
<v Speaker 2>or the year before. They I don't want to say

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:40.839
<v Speaker 2>they were all in, but they were highly leveraged. And

0:39:41.280 --> 0:39:43.479
<v Speaker 2>the odds that they are ever going to have more

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 2>raw talent on the field than they had in last

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:49.320
<v Speaker 2>year's Super Bowl is low, and so I think Ayuk's

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:53.799
<v Speaker 2>an excellent player. But so next year they're gonna be

0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 2>going to war with no Eric Armstead don't know the

0:39:57.040 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 2>status and Dre Greenlaw, which is sad and suck. But

0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 2>he popped his achilles in the final game of the year.

0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 2>We don't know about Ayuk. Now they will have Hufanga

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 2>back because he tore his ACL early last year. Hufunga

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 2>is awesome, but that's another guy they need money for.

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I think Kufang is probably in line next year to

0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:19.200
<v Speaker 2>become the highest paid safety in the league. So I

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.600
<v Speaker 2>just think the Niners, I don't want to say they

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:27.640
<v Speaker 2>missed their opportunity, but the window is slowly closing on

0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 2>having this all star team. That's all.

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:32.400
<v Speaker 4>That's all so good, I know.

0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:35.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, and they're not saying that he's going to Pittsburgh,

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 3>but you weren't high on Pittsburgh when they got Russell Wilson.

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 4>If they got Ayuk, how would you feel about Great Sea?

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 2>It'd be great for Justin I mean for their eventual

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:51.920
<v Speaker 2>starting quarterback, justin fields. The problem for Ayuk's fit in

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh with Russ is Russ doesn't throw over the middle

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 2>of the field. Even when Russ was great, he didn't

0:40:57.520 --> 0:40:59.360
<v Speaker 2>throw over the middle of the field. Why doesn't he

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.560
<v Speaker 2>field because he can't see it. He's too short. Just

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the reality. I know people like, ah, that's unfair. No,

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:10.040
<v Speaker 2>it's just true that the for shorter quarterback, seeing over

0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the field is the hardest part to see,

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:17.360
<v Speaker 2>that intermediate middle, and that's where Ayuk. You know, Ayuk

0:41:17.480 --> 0:41:20.960
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make his money on those deep routes that Russ

0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:22.880
<v Speaker 2>is still great at. He makes his money over the

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:26.360
<v Speaker 2>middle of the field. Uh. But and Justin fields, we

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know where he throws because he hasn't been a

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 2>consistent passer yet. But we know he can see everywhere

0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:35.440
<v Speaker 2>because he's a regular quarterback. Size all right, take quick break,

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:37.279
<v Speaker 2>come back, play a game? Right or wrong? What's right?

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.719
<v Speaker 2>All right? Welcome back in What's Driven? Think right? Episode

0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:48.719
<v Speaker 2>two twenty three, Demonsey, Let's roll and By the way,

0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 2>don't forget your questions and comments for the C block.

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's try to roll through this as quickly as possible,

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>because that was a forty minute a block because I

0:41:56.960 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 2>spent eight minutes on DeAndre Ayton's air mattress and an

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.560
<v Speaker 2>other ten minutes on Super Bowl history that was not

0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 2>scheduled part of the rundown.

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:07.839
<v Speaker 3>Okay, go ahead, Oh yeah, we're playing right or Wrong.

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 3>First off, we're start off Zion. The Pelicans are on

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:13.520
<v Speaker 3>a roll, and Zion has reportedly lost twenty five pounds

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 3>in the course of the season. Right or wrong, Zion

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:18.040
<v Speaker 3>is officially here to stay.

0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:24.640
<v Speaker 2>So I think I want to tentatively say right. And

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I just think that with tempered expectations. When Zion came

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 2>into the league, I said, this guy's going to be

0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:35.759
<v Speaker 2>an MVP, And you guys know how strongly I feel

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 2>about how good you've got to be to be an MVP.

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I that's who he was gonna be. And I still

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 2>think oddly Zion's initial Zion's second year, which was he

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 2>played sixty games that year, and keep in mind that

0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:56.160
<v Speaker 2>was not this eighty two game season, so he played

0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 2>sixty games, and I think was a seventy six game season.

0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong, maybe it was. It doesn't matter.

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:08.960
<v Speaker 2>He was twenty seven a night on sixty one percent

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:12.600
<v Speaker 2>from the field at twenty years old. No one, not

0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 2>even Prime Shack had done that.

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.799
<v Speaker 3>That's almost numbers you're saying. Yanis is putting up just

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 3>earlier this year. So the.

0:43:20.920 --> 0:43:25.160
<v Speaker 2>By the way, you're right, the well, so Yannis has

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:29.560
<v Speaker 2>more rebounds and assists. Yannis is having, you know, maybe

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:34.919
<v Speaker 2>the greatest high volume, scoring, high efficiency percentage season ever.

0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:38.440
<v Speaker 2>But that obviously giannis Is season this year obviously hadn't

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 2>happened then, and so Zion did something that no one

0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 2>had done up to that point. And then it went

0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:48.240
<v Speaker 2>sideways for him on and off the court. And now

0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:51.799
<v Speaker 2>he is he Listen, he's played fifty seven games, so

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna play probably close to seventy games. The Pelicans

0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 2>are good. He's been really good. But I no longer

0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:01.239
<v Speaker 2>look at him like, oh, he might be the best

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:01.839
<v Speaker 2>player in the league.

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:02.239
<v Speaker 4>One day.

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I look at him like, oh he could talent, talented

0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 2>as hell and a good player, like you know what

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he should be a multi time All Star,

0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 2>but not an MVP candidate. And so that's kind of

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 2>a bummer. But by the way, a year ago, even

0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:25.400
<v Speaker 2>this was in question. It was is he gonna, is

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:26.760
<v Speaker 2>his weight? Is his health?

0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:27.919
<v Speaker 4>This stuff?

0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:35.319
<v Speaker 3>It's always like it's always off the court stuff like discipline.

0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so when he played, he was always excellent, but

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:45.880
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't seem quite as exploded, like explosive. He's just

0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 2>not quite as good as he was right when he

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:52.560
<v Speaker 2>came into the league. But he's healthier and the Pelicans

0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:55.200
<v Speaker 2>are good. So I'm buying that this could be the

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.280
<v Speaker 2>new look Xion, which is good and bad so to speak.

0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:01.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, next, U so a top receiver in the draft,

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:04.799
<v Speaker 3>Marvin Harrison Junior didn't work out at the combine and

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:07.759
<v Speaker 3>now he's skipped working out at his pro day. He's

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:10.480
<v Speaker 3>slated to go after the top three quarterbacks to Arizona.

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 4>But does he does it?

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.919
<v Speaker 3>It seems like he might not want to. Right or wrong,

0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Marvin Harrison Junior is trying to avoid Kyler.

0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Wrong. I don't think that's what's happening here at all.

0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's that he is correctly saying, watch the tape,

0:45:27.800 --> 0:45:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I am good enough. I don't have to jump through

0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:30.320
<v Speaker 2>these hoops.

0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Is the last thing he did would break that was

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:33.760
<v Speaker 4>breaking that record.

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean the last thing that last football we saw

0:45:37.200 --> 0:45:41.239
<v Speaker 2>him play was for Ohio State, and so so I mean,

0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:43.600
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't done any of the stuff guys normally do.

0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:47.960
<v Speaker 2>But I'm okay with that. This is the the guys

0:45:48.040 --> 0:45:51.840
<v Speaker 2>that are that can. I think Marvin's in a place

0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:56.480
<v Speaker 2>where he can't really help his draft stock and he

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:59.440
<v Speaker 2>can now can't he hurd it? Like I know there

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:03.759
<v Speaker 2>are something neighbors might go ahead of him, but I

0:46:03.800 --> 0:46:05.759
<v Speaker 2>think that, first of all, I don't buy it. Second

0:46:05.800 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 2>of all, he's not falling out of the tops. He's

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:13.440
<v Speaker 2>never he's never going top three because it's gonna go quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:17.760
<v Speaker 2>and he was never going past seven. So he's almost

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:20.320
<v Speaker 2>as sure he is assuredly gonna be the first or

0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>second wide receiver taken, and he's almost assuredly gonna be

0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the first wide receiver taken. So he's saying, I don't

0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:28.320
<v Speaker 2>have to do this, so I'm fine with it, all right? Next,

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:29.279
<v Speaker 2>all right?

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 3>According to Saquon, after his move to the Eagles, his

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:35.560
<v Speaker 3>daughter said, does that mean we're gonna start We're gonna

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 3>win now?

0:46:36.200 --> 0:46:36.799
<v Speaker 4>Right or wrong?

0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Saquon's daughter knows ball right or Wrong's daughter?

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 2>It was right. I believe she said it. I'll go

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:51.759
<v Speaker 2>ahead and say she knows ball. I don't think the

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Eagles are gonna be great, but they're gonna better than

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 2>the Giants were. So yeah, you know what I mean.

0:46:56.360 --> 0:46:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't wanna. I don't want to talk about Saquon's daughter.

0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I should have taken this one out of the show. Wed, Yeah,

0:47:05.239 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 2>all right? Next uh.

0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:09.400
<v Speaker 3>The NFL is considering changes to the hip drop to

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:12.960
<v Speaker 3>hip drop, tackling kickoff rules and potentially allowing for replay

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 3>reviews of whether a game clock expired before the snap.

0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.680
<v Speaker 3>But why right or wrong? Constant rule changes are good

0:47:20.680 --> 0:47:25.280
<v Speaker 3>for sports.

0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:26.560
<v Speaker 2>In theory, they're good for sports, and practicality they're not.

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:30.480
<v Speaker 2>We can't spend all football season every year being like

0:47:30.520 --> 0:47:32.919
<v Speaker 2>the refs aren't any good and then in the off

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 2>season be like add more things to their plate, Like

0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 2>it just doesn't make sense. We the we go through

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the same thing every time where it's like the refs

0:47:44.080 --> 0:47:48.520
<v Speaker 2>are not competent, make their job harder, and so uh

0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 2>and so I just I don't. I so in a

0:47:54.320 --> 0:47:59.399
<v Speaker 2>perfect world, I understand a lot of these wanted adjustments

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:02.640
<v Speaker 2>in the world in which we live. It doesn't make sense. Next.

0:48:03.560 --> 0:48:05.840
<v Speaker 3>All right, you said Tuesday that you're too busy, Sending

0:48:05.920 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 3>cheers GM. Brett Veach mock drafts to build a bracket

0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:11.880
<v Speaker 3>sounds like a straight up Nick Wright fan fiction. The

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:15.400
<v Speaker 3>producers and I have some questions right or wrong? Veach

0:48:15.440 --> 0:48:22.440
<v Speaker 3>has replied, Okay, so text between Brett Veach and I

0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:27.360
<v Speaker 3>are personal. What I will tell you is this. Brett

0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Veach texted Kevin Clark, great writer, used to be for

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 3>The Ringer and now he does podcasts for Omaha. He's

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:40.120
<v Speaker 3>on Around the Horn. You guys know Kevin Clark because.

0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Kevin and I were at this The reason we'd have

0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:45.640
<v Speaker 2>a podcast last Thursday was because I was speaking at

0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:49.000
<v Speaker 2>this media conference. Kevin was there. So Kevin and I

0:48:49.040 --> 0:48:52.960
<v Speaker 2>took a picture together and he texted to Veach and

0:48:53.000 --> 0:48:56.279
<v Speaker 2>do you know what. Veach replied, I'll send you the screenshot.

0:48:56.280 --> 0:49:01.800
<v Speaker 2>De manse. Veach replied, two of my guys tell Nick

0:49:02.239 --> 0:49:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to send me his latest mock So, uh take that

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:12.200
<v Speaker 2>for what you will if you guys are interested in

0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 2>my latest mock draft. Uh. When I open up my

0:49:16.000 --> 0:49:20.680
<v Speaker 2>downloaded files, this says, pff. Mock results parentheses, twenty eight

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:24.759
<v Speaker 2>in parentheses. So this is my twenty eighth that I've done,

0:49:24.800 --> 0:49:27.319
<v Speaker 2>but this is where it landed. With the first round pick,

0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs took Lad McConkie. We then traded Lugerius Snead

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.440
<v Speaker 2>for the forty third overall pick to Atlanta. With that

0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:38.000
<v Speaker 2>draft pick, we took Kamari Lassiter, the cornerback. With the

0:49:38.040 --> 0:49:41.200
<v Speaker 2>final pick of the second round, we took Jatavian Sanders,

0:49:41.239 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the tight end from Texas. We then made another trade.

0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:47.320
<v Speaker 2>We traded down from eighty one. I'm sorry. We traded

0:49:47.440 --> 0:49:51.280
<v Speaker 2>up from ninety five, packaging the one hundred and fifty

0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:55.279
<v Speaker 2>ninth pick to get pick eighty one to target Texas

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a defensive cackle to Andree Sweat. We then took another

0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:03.160
<v Speaker 2>corner cam heart in the fourth round with our fifth

0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:06.800
<v Speaker 2>round pick, took a value positioned Zack Zenter, the guard

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 2>from Michigan who got hurt in his final collegiate game.

0:50:09.239 --> 0:50:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Probably gonna have to miss the year, but that's a

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 2>guy that should be a Day two pick. That's gonna

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:15.800
<v Speaker 2>fall because of the injury. The Chiefs have Trey Smith

0:50:15.840 --> 0:50:18.719
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Tooney at the guard positions for next year.

0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:21.080
<v Speaker 2>But Joe Toney maybe could be gone in a year,

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:25.520
<v Speaker 2>so you slide Zack Zenter into there. Then we traded back.

0:50:25.760 --> 0:50:28.200
<v Speaker 2>This is how sick I've gotten on these mock drafts.

0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I traded pick one, eight four and the seventh round pick.

0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry the I traded with the Raiders and one

0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:44.280
<v Speaker 2>of the things I got back was a future sixth

0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:47.840
<v Speaker 2>round pick. But the mock drafts, there's no future drafts.

0:50:47.920 --> 0:50:50.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not like I'm actually acquiring that capital to do

0:50:50.400 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 2>anything with it. It just felt like good value. And

0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:57.960
<v Speaker 2>after those trades, I ended up drafting Jalen Green, the

0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:01.640
<v Speaker 2>edge rusher from James Madison. Now that's a small college player,

0:51:01.840 --> 0:51:04.000
<v Speaker 2>but he had like eighteen sacks last year. I liked

0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the upside. And with the final pick of the draft,

0:51:06.120 --> 0:51:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I took the good looking quarterback from Notre Dame. Sam Hartman.

0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Felt like he's a guy that, after a couple of

0:51:11.400 --> 0:51:14.240
<v Speaker 2>years under Andy, being in the quarterback room with Patrick Mahomes,

0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:17.120
<v Speaker 2>could be a guy that shows enough in preseason that

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:19.160
<v Speaker 2>we can then flip him for maybe like a fourth

0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:23.239
<v Speaker 2>round pick. So go ahead and clip this off for

0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:26.600
<v Speaker 2>social media. My mock draft here, and I'll just share

0:51:26.640 --> 0:51:30.160
<v Speaker 2>it to you know what, m is interesting. I don't

0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:32.080
<v Speaker 2>know if I want to share it to the whole world,

0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:34.479
<v Speaker 2>because that could give those other gms an edge. Let's

0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:36.640
<v Speaker 2>just clip this off on social media and send it

0:51:36.680 --> 0:51:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to me so I can distribute it as we want.

0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:42.719
<v Speaker 2>That was mock Draft twenty eight. Let me just try

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:48.640
<v Speaker 2>demon's pick a random number between fifteen and twenty eight.

0:51:49.440 --> 0:51:50.120
<v Speaker 4>Twenty seven.

0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:58.200
<v Speaker 2>That's boring, but okay, twenty seven. Uh twenty seven. Let

0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:02.720
<v Speaker 2>me pull up mock draft twenty seven. Uh, oh my goodness.

0:52:02.760 --> 0:52:04.920
<v Speaker 2>That was the one where I had four trade downs.

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 2>That's too many. I ended up drafting thirteen players and

0:52:07.719 --> 0:52:09.839
<v Speaker 2>had four trade downs. I'm gonna have to pick one

0:52:09.840 --> 0:52:11.879
<v Speaker 2>where I didn't do trade It's just so hard. When

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:14.000
<v Speaker 2>there's value out there, you want it, you know what

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean. You want to make these trades. So let

0:52:16.560 --> 0:52:18.840
<v Speaker 2>me find one where you said twenty one.

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Twenty one, all right?

0:52:20.560 --> 0:52:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Perfect? Uh? With the first round, Oh, this one, I

0:52:27.200 --> 0:52:30.760
<v Speaker 2>got lad McConkie again. Oh, and then this one, Xavier

0:52:30.800 --> 0:52:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Worthy slid all the way to the third round. Oh

0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:36.759
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, gracious, I also drafted Zach Zenter again. I

0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 2>must really like Zach Center. Okay, we can move on.

0:52:40.080 --> 0:52:41.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where we're at in the show. I

0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:43.719
<v Speaker 2>know I said we were gonna go faster, but uh,

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:47.160
<v Speaker 2>we can move on. Go ahead, So I gotta read

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:50.319
<v Speaker 2>this one. Yeah. Last week I asked Amanse to watch

0:52:50.360 --> 0:52:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Barbie and Oppenheimer during his day off for the old Barbenheimer.

0:52:55.600 --> 0:52:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a great You should make this your profile

0:52:58.280 --> 0:52:58.719
<v Speaker 2>picture to.

0:52:58.760 --> 0:53:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Monse, good day.

0:53:01.719 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you do this, Demanse? Uh?

0:53:05.120 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 4>I did. I watched Oppenheimer. I watched Barbie.

0:53:08.160 --> 0:53:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:12.440
<v Speaker 3>I enjoyed Oppenheimer. There's I gotta go back and rewatch it.

0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:16.600
<v Speaker 3>I get Oppenheimer's the bad guy for creating the bomb. Yeah,

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:19.520
<v Speaker 3>and then like they do past with like regular color

0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:21.560
<v Speaker 3>and they do future stuff with like black O.

0:53:21.760 --> 0:53:23.399
<v Speaker 4>It's like, but I.

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Really enjoyed the movie and honestly taught me a little

0:53:27.600 --> 0:53:29.720
<v Speaker 3>bit more about Hiro Shuman than I already knew.

0:53:29.960 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 4>I did not do too much digging in that.

0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 3>But uh, but yeah, Barbie, I gotta say, man, I

0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:39.880
<v Speaker 3>was not entertained at all. And this is not just

0:53:39.920 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 3>like a boy thing, like it was just like I

0:53:42.600 --> 0:53:46.200
<v Speaker 3>don't that's not the it's it's it was cool.

0:53:46.360 --> 0:53:47.760
<v Speaker 4>It was it was a nice movie.

0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:49.560
<v Speaker 2>No, that's fine. You don't want to step on it.

0:53:50.600 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 2>You just felt like you didn't like it. I get it.

0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just it just wasn't It just wasn't for me.

0:53:55.600 --> 0:53:59.200
<v Speaker 2>But so here is. I understood the message of Barbie,

0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 2>and I thought it was a art one. What I

0:54:01.480 --> 0:54:06.520
<v Speaker 2>found so fascinating about Barbie was the way they I

0:54:06.560 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 2>think smartly created the Barbie universe. I was because when

0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I heard they were making a Barbie movie, and like,

0:54:12.400 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 2>how are they gonna do it? But the fact they

0:54:13.640 --> 0:54:15.840
<v Speaker 2>had all the different types of Barbies and all that, I.

0:54:15.880 --> 0:54:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Thought it was.

0:54:16.239 --> 0:54:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Actually I thought it was a well thought out movie.

0:54:20.960 --> 0:54:23.480
<v Speaker 3>But we don't have to Definitely definitely well done. No,

0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying the movie sucks. It's just not for me.

0:54:27.080 --> 0:54:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I did, But yes, I loved it was very cool. Okay,

0:54:31.920 --> 0:54:32.879
<v Speaker 3>and very loud.

0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Quick break, Yeah, very loud. It was great. Quick break,

0:54:36.600 --> 0:54:38.680
<v Speaker 2>right back, answer some of your questions. I talked about

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:46.600
<v Speaker 2>James Harden closing out in Kawhi What's Right? Yes, all right,

0:54:46.640 --> 0:54:48.920
<v Speaker 2>welcome back in What's Right with great demand. Before we

0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:51.759
<v Speaker 2>get to the listener questions, go ahead and let's talk

0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:52.760
<v Speaker 2>hard in Kawhi real.

0:54:52.680 --> 0:54:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Quick all right, Travis Kelsey, No, I'm joking you. At

0:54:56.440 --> 0:54:59.439
<v Speaker 3>the top of the so you tease at the top

0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:02.040
<v Speaker 3>of the show. James Harden played defense on UH for

0:55:02.080 --> 0:55:02.880
<v Speaker 3>the first time.

0:55:02.719 --> 0:55:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Ever in his in his career. He gets Kawhi Leonard

0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:06.160
<v Speaker 4>too bad.

0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:09.080
<v Speaker 3>It was against his own teammate, obviously, what was going

0:55:09.120 --> 0:55:09.600
<v Speaker 3>on there?

0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:13.239
<v Speaker 4>To me?

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:21.080
<v Speaker 2>He just demon's do you know when this happened in

0:55:21.160 --> 0:55:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:55:22.760 --> 0:55:25.640
<v Speaker 3>It was third quarter, right, third quarter? They were up.

0:55:25.760 --> 0:55:28.520
<v Speaker 3>It was eighty to sixty eighty to sixty one.

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they were up. It was either eighty to sixty

0:55:31.520 --> 0:55:33.560
<v Speaker 2>one or eighty one sixty one. They were either up

0:55:33.600 --> 0:55:36.640
<v Speaker 2>nineteen or twenty one points with twenty minutes left in

0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:40.520
<v Speaker 2>this game. He can't do that. He just can't do it.

0:55:41.239 --> 0:55:45.480
<v Speaker 2>The it is, I understand, you're playing the Blazers, you

0:55:45.520 --> 0:55:48.319
<v Speaker 2>feel like you're gonna win, You're dominating them. I get it.

0:55:49.600 --> 0:55:55.080
<v Speaker 2>This is outrageous. I mean, it's just I don't want

0:55:55.120 --> 0:56:00.520
<v Speaker 2>to be, you know, someone that makes a big deal

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.400
<v Speaker 2>out of minor things. But this is not a minor

0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:09.080
<v Speaker 2>thing to me. And this is like, this is and

0:56:09.160 --> 0:56:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I love the NBA, but this is the type of

0:56:12.880 --> 0:56:17.640
<v Speaker 2>thing that if it happened in another sport, people would

0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:25.440
<v Speaker 2>be losing their minds. Like let's say that the go

0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:25.920
<v Speaker 2>ahead and.

0:56:25.840 --> 0:56:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Football would be tackling your running back like you're going

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.000
<v Speaker 3>to like making your running.

0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Back like try to juke you because you're up twenty

0:56:37.680 --> 0:56:43.279
<v Speaker 2>four in the third quarter, Like this is it's just I.

0:56:44.440 --> 0:56:46.400
<v Speaker 3>But it's like if anybody in the league is going

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:48.879
<v Speaker 3>to do that. I was saying, it's it's James Harden.

0:56:49.360 --> 0:56:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Like that's the other problem, Like you don't you you

0:56:55.840 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 2>haven't earned the right to be this silly. I'm sorry

0:56:59.520 --> 0:57:04.279
<v Speaker 2>you haven't. You just haven't. And so I hate it.

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I legitimately hate it. All right, let's get to some

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of the listener questions.

0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:11.160
<v Speaker 4>Do you think let's be explained, like will he have

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:12.759
<v Speaker 4>to speed said?

0:57:12.840 --> 0:57:15.839
<v Speaker 2>He was like it was good for team vibes, that's

0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:18.640
<v Speaker 2>what he said, Harden answer, and he was like yeah.

0:57:18.680 --> 0:57:20.280
<v Speaker 2>He was like, I'm just trying to keep it loose

0:57:20.320 --> 0:57:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and happy and good for teams.

0:57:22.120 --> 0:57:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh all right, well, Gabe Felters, So that's what it is.

0:57:28.120 --> 0:57:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Gabe Felter said, Hey, Nick, I believe the Chiefs could

0:57:31.160 --> 0:57:33.800
<v Speaker 3>sit at thirty two and pick what's best for the

0:57:33.840 --> 0:57:34.640
<v Speaker 3>best for them.

0:57:35.080 --> 0:57:36.440
<v Speaker 4>And attackle wide receiver.

0:57:36.800 --> 0:57:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Should the Chiefs be aggressive to unload Sneed while they

0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:41.760
<v Speaker 3>could get something for him unlike t Higgins.

0:57:42.840 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, the Chief's been ready to trade Snead, but

0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the problem is that nobody they had. The Chiefs had

0:57:50.360 --> 0:57:54.240
<v Speaker 2>worked out the Sneed compensation as far as what they

0:57:54.240 --> 0:57:58.240
<v Speaker 2>would get in return for him with another team, but

0:57:58.400 --> 0:58:00.880
<v Speaker 2>in order for that team to agree of the trade,

0:58:01.000 --> 0:58:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Snead then has to agree to a long term contract

0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:07.200
<v Speaker 2>with them. And Steed evidently wants twenty three million a year,

0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:11.040
<v Speaker 2>and no team's been willing to pay it, and so

0:58:11.680 --> 0:58:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I think teams are willing to pay twenty but not

0:58:13.800 --> 0:58:16.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, and so the hang up. So the Chiefs

0:58:16.960 --> 0:58:21.520
<v Speaker 2>clearly are prepared to trade Sneed, but also because they've

0:58:21.560 --> 0:58:24.720
<v Speaker 2>been so judicious in free agency, they don't have to

0:58:24.760 --> 0:58:27.960
<v Speaker 2>trade them. And they can carry the nineteen million dollar

0:58:28.080 --> 0:58:32.560
<v Speaker 2>cap hit this year because they signed Chris and because

0:58:32.640 --> 0:58:36.240
<v Speaker 2>they signed Hollywood. They can sit there at thirty two,

0:58:37.120 --> 0:58:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and if a D lineman, corner, wide receiver, or tackle

0:58:41.520 --> 0:58:44.960
<v Speaker 2>they love is sitting there, they can draft any of

0:58:45.000 --> 0:58:48.280
<v Speaker 2>those spots. It's not like, oh my god, we have

0:58:48.400 --> 0:58:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to get this position. We have this player ranked as

0:58:51.720 --> 0:58:54.040
<v Speaker 2>the forty ninth best player in the draft, but he's

0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:55.840
<v Speaker 2>the best left of that position, so I have take

0:58:55.880 --> 0:58:58.320
<v Speaker 2>him at thirty two. It also allows them to trade

0:58:58.360 --> 0:59:00.560
<v Speaker 2>down if they want to, if they have a bunch

0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of guys they still like, so they can, as as

0:59:03.760 --> 0:59:06.320
<v Speaker 2>some would say, let the draft come to them rather

0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:08.920
<v Speaker 2>than rush it. All right, go ahead.

0:59:10.400 --> 0:59:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Salvador Finelli asked question for demonte how are you enjoying

0:59:13.640 --> 0:59:14.720
<v Speaker 3>LA compared to New York?

0:59:16.160 --> 0:59:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, traffic, traffics traffics.

0:59:19.560 --> 0:59:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Traffic is traffic, uh And I hear a lot of

0:59:22.120 --> 0:59:25.800
<v Speaker 3>talks of people comparing New York traffic to Los Angeles traffic,

0:59:25.840 --> 0:59:28.680
<v Speaker 3>and Los Angeles traffic is in the league of its own.

0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:31.680
<v Speaker 3>In my opinion, I like driving everywhere that I go,

0:59:31.760 --> 0:59:35.520
<v Speaker 3>though I don't really miss walking. But yeah, no, I'm

0:59:35.560 --> 0:59:38.520
<v Speaker 3>really enjoying it. The weather's obviously super dope. The people

0:59:39.320 --> 0:59:42.880
<v Speaker 3>are interesting. There's a time that I was I hate

0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:46.160
<v Speaker 3>it when people like when like the best example I

0:59:46.160 --> 0:59:47.840
<v Speaker 3>could think of is when I got in that car

0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:50.760
<v Speaker 3>accident like two and a half years ago. The guy

0:59:50.880 --> 0:59:53.959
<v Speaker 3>like hit me from the side and they got out,

0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:56.280
<v Speaker 3>and I had a green light, and they were speedy,

0:59:56.720 --> 0:59:58.400
<v Speaker 3>and they got out and they're like what the f bro,

0:59:58.560 --> 1:00:00.800
<v Speaker 3>like what And I'm just like, dude, do you think

1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:02.880
<v Speaker 3>that I wanted to get in a car accident with you? Like,

1:00:02.920 --> 1:00:05.680
<v Speaker 3>what's the point in getting out in New York? That

1:00:05.760 --> 1:00:07.840
<v Speaker 3>was in Kansas was in Kansas City. I haven't got

1:00:07.880 --> 1:00:10.360
<v Speaker 3>an accident New York, thank god.

1:00:11.160 --> 1:00:13.800
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, so it's just like I was.

1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Like, no, I was trying to play pretend, you know, like,

1:00:19.760 --> 1:00:21.920
<v Speaker 2>what the hell are we talking about? What a car

1:00:22.000 --> 1:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>accident two and a half years ago? Okay that was

1:00:25.000 --> 1:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City.

1:00:25.640 --> 1:00:27.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah.

1:00:27.800 --> 1:00:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Basically, I just think some of the people are hoity

1:00:30.080 --> 1:00:32.200
<v Speaker 3>in the in the LA area. Like I was pulling

1:00:32.200 --> 1:00:33.920
<v Speaker 3>out and it was just like one of those areas

1:00:33.920 --> 1:00:36.760
<v Speaker 3>where in order to get in I have to kind

1:00:36.760 --> 1:00:38.880
<v Speaker 3>of pull out of where I'm at and a civilian,

1:00:38.960 --> 1:00:41.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm on the sidewalk, I get that. A civilian walks

1:00:41.840 --> 1:00:45.680
<v Speaker 3>past my car and literally stops, turns around, bends over

1:00:45.800 --> 1:00:47.560
<v Speaker 3>and looks inside of my car. And I'm like, dude,

1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm just trying to I'm just trying to go like

1:00:50.120 --> 1:00:51.360
<v Speaker 3>what do you I'm sorry that I'm.

1:00:51.320 --> 1:00:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Right here you were able to walk around, But yeah,

1:00:54.280 --> 1:00:55.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm loving it. It's cool.

1:00:55.440 --> 1:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>I haven't been doing too much lately with the Achilles,

1:00:58.440 --> 1:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>but excited to get back out there.

1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good, Caleb asks, would I ever consider making a

1:01:06.440 --> 1:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>top fifty quarterback list? I got it, like the NBA

1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Top fifty list. That's an interesting project. Top fifty quarterback

1:01:13.840 --> 1:01:16.960
<v Speaker 2>because top fifty NFL players is so hard because like,

1:01:16.960 --> 1:01:20.520
<v Speaker 2>how do you cross pollinate positions offense defense? Top fifty

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:24.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks could be fun. And then Usio says, shout out

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to Demanse, you're improving your game. Real progress being made

1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>as a host compared to a year ago. More focus,

1:01:30.640 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>more knowledge, more good takes, keep it up, one love.

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I totally agree with it. I actually had somebody ask

1:01:36.400 --> 1:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>me the other day if this is what you want

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>to do professionally, like pod like, is this what Demonse

1:01:44.000 --> 1:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>wants to do? And I told him I was like,

1:01:46.120 --> 1:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. I was like, I don't you know.

1:01:48.960 --> 1:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>This has always kind of been a side gig. But

1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>the fact that somebody asked that, I think speaks to

1:01:54.520 --> 1:01:56.800
