Speaker 2: as we get you ready for the super Bowl. Super

Speaker 2: one is where you can find me. On x you

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: can find Adam at follow Adam A. Adam playing hurt tonight.

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: But it's all good. He's brought the energy. Clipper's got

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: a victory, so he's ready to go.

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 3: I feel I guess I feel terrible. I feel awful, Kevin.

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: I told you as we were doing some prep earlier today,

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be more worthless than usual on the show,

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to carry me like Sam carried

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 3: Frodo in uh Return of the King, Because I think

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: I just saw the extended edition of that a couple

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: of weeks ago when it was re released back in theaters.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 3: You can hear it in my voice. Is it more

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: nasally than usual?

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Yes? It is.

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 3: You know what I think this is, Kevin is the

21
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: zoo flu A Viza zoobos, my favorite clipper in Zulenza.

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Like Viata zoobots, my favorite got traded away. And I'm

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: actually sad about it. I'm legit sad. It's the first

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: time since I was a kid that a player got

25
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: moved from my team and it affected me emotionally. Maybe

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: we can talk about that later in the show or

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: something and take some phone calls.

28
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: But we'll definitely get into the NBA trade deadline a

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: little bit later in the show, for sure, because a

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: lot of moving and shaking going on, a lot of

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: I would say more often or more than usual trades

32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: that I think were beneficial for both parties involved that happened.

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: So we'll get into the NBA trade deadline coming up

34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: in a little bit for sure. And the Clippers obviously

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: were a big mover in Shaker when he came to

36
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: the deadline, with Harden going to Cleveland and Zubats going

37
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: to the Indiana Pacers.

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: We will help you, guys by bringing you a former

39
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: NFL player a guest in the second hour, Ephram Salom

40
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: from Fox Sports Radio will be here and he'll help

41
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: break down the big game coming up to We'll also

42
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: talk about I think some Olympics, I think the coaching

43
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: hires going on, Like there is much to sink our

44
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: teeth into.

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: I want to dig into Ephram's brain because Ephrom played

46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: in the Super in nineteen ninety eight. He was a

47
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: part of the Atlanta Falcon team that had to deal

48
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: with the Eugene Robinson situation the night before the game.

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: So talk about just what the distractions, how that situation was,

50
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: just the distractions in general when you're preparing for a

51
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: football game, the biggest football game of your life, and

52
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: then there's the backdrop of all of these other things

53
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: going on, you know, with all the media responsibilities and

54
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: all the pomp and circumstance and getting yourself mentally ready.

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: So I want to kind of dive into Ephram's brain

56
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: about that.

57
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's get started, though. In first off, there's

58
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: go time that's wrong.

59
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: So a lot of people feel that, for whatever reason, Adam,

60
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: there's just not a lot of juice, for lack of

61
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: a better term, when it comes to this year's Super Bowl.

62
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because there's a lack of

63
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: star power, if there's a lack of non football interest

64
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: that we've had the last couple of years, you know

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about when it comes to Travis Kelce

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: and Taylor Swift and all that sort of jazz, maybe

67
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: the lack of big time personalities. I don't know what

68
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: it is. I'm jazzed up for it as I ever

69
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: can be, to be honest with you, but I'm all

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: a football nerd and this is what we do, and

71
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: so I love it.

72
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: Are you saying this is not a super Bowl for

73
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: the casuals out there? Is that what I'm saying, Kevin?

74
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 2: That is what the general vibe has been. I don't

75
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: know when the circles you run in or what you've

76
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: seen and heard, do you kind of get that same

77
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: vibe that they're just not the same sort of oh

78
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: or excitement around this year's game as we've had in

79
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: recent years.

80
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if it was just me, because I

81
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: was so focused on the NBA trade deadline, and you know,

82
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: I wasn't in the NFL bubble, and we're obviously not

83
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: up in Santa Clara doing the show or anything like that.

84
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if it was just me, But it

85
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: sounds like it's everybody. There isn't the same bus. There

86
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: isn't the same gravitas or whatever you're looking for with

87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, because the problem is you have two quarterbacks.

88
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: The people who can easily attach themselves to the casuals.

89
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: It's usually the stories with the quarterbacks. One guy's only

90
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: in his second year. Granted he's playing for the Patriots,

91
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: but it's still just his second season. The other was

92
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: a Berney men who was initially a high draft pick. Yes,

93
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: figured it out last season with the Minnesota Vikings in

94
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: Sam Donald. There just isn't that much of an attraction there,

95
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: storylines there. None of them really talk or say anything

96
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: that interesting. They're too damned professional, they're too good, They're

97
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: too good.

98
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: It's like, so five of the last six Super Bowls

99
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: have featured the best quarterback in the league, that being

100
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. The only other Super Bowl that didn't feature him.

101
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: Rams and Bengals. You had Joe Burrow, one of the

102
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in the NFL. Matthew Stafford one of the

103
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks in the NFL in one of the biggest

104
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: markets in the entire country in Los Angeles. So I

105
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: think that I think that's the big part of it, and

106
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: you brought it up, the fact that there's just not

107
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: Drake may might end up being one of the best

108
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL. He could end up being the

109
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: Andrew Luck to Peyton Manning. As you know from Tom

110
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: Brady handing it off to Drake May. He could end

111
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: up being that he was runner up in the MVP voting,

112
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: which we'll get into a little bit later, but he's

113
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: not a household name yet. Sam Donald, even for being

114
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: a top six pick or whatever he ended up being

115
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: for the Jets, he flamed out. He's a great redemption story.

116
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: But to your point, no one really outside of NFL

117
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: circles really knows who he is. And I'll even extend

118
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: it out just to the rosters in general. If you

119
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: say there's no star power from the quarterback position, it's like,

120
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: all right, is there anybody else that really stands out?

121
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: And honestly, even NFL fans who are non casuals, people

122
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: who generally follow the league closely, outside of Jackson Smith

123
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: and Jigba, maybe Christian Gonzalez defensively for the Patriots, Stefan Diggs,

124
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 2: there's only a handful of guys that I'll be honest

125
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: with you, most people who don't follow this on a

126
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: day and day out basis who they even know who

127
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: they are. So it's really just it's two franchises who

128
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: have had a run of success for the past decade.

129
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: Now it's two different iterations of the Seahawks and the

130
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: Patriots played each other. What was it ten years ago now,

131
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: however long ago it was, but two great franchises that

132
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: have had sustained success, that have turned over their rosters

133
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: and have different faces. But none of those faces, at

134
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: least as of right now, are big time stars and recognizable.

135
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: And I think that's a big reason why there's just

136
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: not a lot of juice behind it right now.

137
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: You don't have the legacies on the line type of

138
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: feeling in this Super Bowl where there's just a lot

139
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: of skin in the game from either side. If Sam

140
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: Donald loses what or plays poorly, a lot of people

141
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: just say, well, that's who Sam Donald is. It's immense

142
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: it for him. If Drake May loses, they're gonna say, well,

143
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: he's got all this time to still win. He's a

144
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: young quarterback. The Seahawks were favored, they were at a

145
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: disadvantage with the Patriots. Like, it doesn't feel like there's

146
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: anything that critical here. The stakes aren't high enough in

147
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: this game. That's what it feels like to me.

148
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, also the problem is with the

149
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: Patriots is the way that they've been winning. Like Seattle's

150
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: been exciting now. They ran San Francisco off the field,

151
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: but that Rams game was back and forth. I mean,

152
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: that was phenomenal. And I know a lot of people

153
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: are saying that was the Super Bowl anyway, and it

154
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: may have ended up being that.

155
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: Well, you know, like Seattle beat the forty nine ers

156
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: and then just ran over the Denver Broncos with Peyton Manning.

157
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody saw that coming on. That

158
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: paid that offense for Denver with spectacular that year, broke

159
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: so many records in Seattle held them to what eight

160
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: points or something like that. Yeah, that was spectacular. That

161
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: was an unforeseen domination in that game. But the fact

162
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: that the Patriots have looked so unimpressive in all of

163
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: their wins. I mean, Drake May has been sacked five

164
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: times and all of their victories they've not racked up

165
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: over three hundred yards of offense. They look very, very unimpressive,

166
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: but just found ways to kind of win in a

167
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: work wind like fashion. I think if New England had

168
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: rolled into this game playing the same way Seattle had

169
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: and we had two big time, high powered offenses, no

170
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: name or not, it kind of gave you something to

171
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: look forward to. Well because Seattle, you know, one in

172
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: such spectacular fashion against the Rams, are like, all right, great,

173
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: and the Patriots just looks so pedestrian. I think that

174
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: kind of takes a little bit of shine off of

175
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: the game too.

176
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: The dirty little seekert all season long is that the

177
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks. Obviously they have been the best team in football. Yes,

178
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: they've been flying under the radar and doing it with

179
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: just the same stuff we're talking about now because they

180
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: don't have a ton of star power. They don't, but

181
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: they've gotten to this point and their defense, I don't know,

182
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: maybe we talk about them later on and this is

183
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: a historically great defense eventually, but Sam Darnold doesn't move

184
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: the needle for many, Like I literally just said, the

185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, the stakes aren't high enough in the freaking

186
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: Super Bowl?

187
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: How can they get any higher?

188
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: You know, that's how it should be, but it doesn't

189
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: feel like that now. From going from Mahomes to this

190
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: and Mahomes against Philadelphia last season, which was a rematch

191
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: of a Super Bowl from a couple of years before,

192
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: it just feels like such a steep drop off. Do

193
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: I need all that out of this stuff. No, but

194
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: these are the reasons why the casual viewer or there

195
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: isn't the same buzz that there was last year. That's

196
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: what it comes down to. There have been some great

197
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: Super Bowls recently and some great matchups, and this one

198
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: falls short of that clearly.

199
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well considered, I mean these super Bowls have all

200
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: had either some element of Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady

201
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: or Joe Burrow or Matthew Stafford. And we talked about

202
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: the lack of star power. Actually went back, so remember

203
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: the last so the last time that neither side had

204
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: a superstar quarterback, you had to go all the way

205
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: back to two thousand and five. That was a rookie

206
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: bit Roethlisberger who wasn't Big Ben yet. And look, Drake

207
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: may might end up being becoming that guy, but he's

208
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: in year two just like Big Ben was. He wasn't

209
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: a star yet. And Matt Hasselbeck, who was a good player,

210
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: I was a pro bowler. He was a good player

211
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: throughout his career, but certainly didn't move the needle for anybody.

212
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: And I would say the hype going into that game

213
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily that huge although you did have you had

214
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: a marquee franchise in the Pittsburgh Steelers, so that's always

215
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: going to help you carry it a little bit, you.

216
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Order versus their tight end. What was the smack Jeremy Stevens.

217
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: Jeremy Stevens. Yeah, that was a lot of the smack talk.

218
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: It was, you know, And so since then, you know,

219
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: that's the last time you've had kind of a non

220
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: superstar matchup at the quarterback position. You've always had one

221
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: of the best players at the best position performing on

222
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: this stage. So this is a rarity that we have

223
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: a situation like this. So I do think it's just

224
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: a it's a weird combination of certain stars aligning. I

225
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: think it would feel a little bit different if Matthew

226
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: Stafford and the Rams had found a way to beat

227
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: Seattle and they were in the Super Bowl taking on

228
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: the Patriots. It just adds a little bit of extra

229
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: mph to it. It doesn't make anything. Here's the thing, though, Adam,

230
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: are people not going to watch?

231
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

232
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: People, are you not gonna watch the game? I know

233
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: the commercials you can all go online right now at

234
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: you two probably and find all of them. But if

235
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: you're not gonna are you not gonna sit there or

236
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 2: your wives are not gonna sit there and want to

237
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: watch all the commercials? If you know, are you intrigued?

238
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: Some people may be. Some people may not buy a

239
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: bad Bunny in the halftime show. You're gonna watch it,

240
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: or the alternative halftime show with Kid Rock or whoever

241
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: else you want. You're gonna jump into all so we

242
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: can talk about this and talk in circles about how unintriguing,

243
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: how unexciting and all this is gonna be. Every last

244
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 2: one of us is gonna be sitting in the exact

245
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: same spot on Sunday, watching the exact same damn thing.

246
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: I think part of the problem too, is if the

247
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 3: matchup just seem closer, even if there was the anonymity

248
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: between not having the stars like we're talking about here

249
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: versus past seasons. But most people just accept that Seattle's

250
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 3: gonna win by like a touchdown or two, or just

251
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: blow them out, like people don't believe. The New England Patriots,

252
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: I think, are legitimate title contenders, and they got by

253
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: through a soft schedule during the regular season, and then

254
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: they get a Broncos team in the AFC Championship that

255
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: is missing their quarterback. They've been very fortunate along the way,

256
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: and it just seems too early for Drake May. Now,

257
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: this could all be turned on its head if Drake

258
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: May leads them to a victory and it's more like

259
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: and they're not fourteen point dogs like the Patriots were

260
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: against the Rams in two thousand with the coming out

261
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: party with Tom Brady then. But it would feel definitely

262
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: like an upset to me if the Patriots won this

263
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: game somehow, because I'm looking at it like most are.

264
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: Seattle's defense is way too good. He's gonna have to

265
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: play perfect out there. And Sam Darnold, he's very talented

266
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: if he doesn't completely implode because of all the criticism

267
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: over the years of him not getting it done in

268
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: big moments. Seattle's fine, They're gonna win this.

269
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's been funny all week, just trying to find

270
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: so many people trying to convince themselves why the Patriots

271
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: can win with us can win this game, and I'm

272
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: saying that they can't. We've seen improbable things happen before.

273
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: You mentioned the greatest show on turf, Rams losing to

274
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: almost no name, basically a New England Patriots team back

275
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: in two thousand and one, so it can't happen. But

276
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: you look just across the board, matchup by matchup, where

277
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: do the Patriots have the edge over the Seahawks, maybe

278
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: at quarterback? And do they even have it there? I

279
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: mean the way Sam Donald's played this year, I mean, who.

280
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: Knows Sam Donald the first nine games of the season

281
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: was grading out as maybe the best quarterback in the

282
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: league at that time, right the way we were looking

283
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 3: stuff up with pro football focus, like, his numbers were astronomical.

284
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 3: It was the first Rams game that turned the season

285
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: around and made people believe he's the same guy that

286
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: he was last year with the Vikings. But then he

287
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: comes through in the NFC Championship game. I'm not going

288
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 3: to say he outperformed Matthew Stafford, but he more than

289
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: held his own and did his part.

290
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: He went toe to toe with him. Yeah, Ahalla. First,

291
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: he was someone who's going to end up being a

292
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: first ball of Hall of Famer.

293
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: It was a superstar like performance from him. They needed

294
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: all of it and he delivered, and I think that

295
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: might have gotten the monkey off his back to the

296
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: point where he could be a little bit looser now

297
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl against a team that Drake may

298
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: has had some really bad turnovers along the way in

299
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs, and they've gotten away with it. They got

300
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: away with it against the Chargers. They could have easily

301
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 3: lost that game if Justin Herbert just hasn't totally didn't

302
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: totally implode. So I think there are a lot of

303
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: doubters when it comes to this Patriots team, and I'm

304
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: kind of one of them right now. I don't think

305
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 3: this is one of I think the Rams would have

306
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: beat him. There's a handful of teams that I would

307
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: have taken healthy against this Patriots team. I would have

308
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: taken Buffalo against them.

309
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: I might, Yeah, I might have taken San Francisco against

310
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: the Mommy. There's a handful of teams out of the

311
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: NFC that I would have taken over the Patriots at

312
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 2: this point, and which puzzles me. And Vegas always knows.

313
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: You know, the fact that the line is only three

314
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: and a half tells you a little bit something, because

315
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, I would if it were me,

316
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: this line is at least seven. Yeah, I'm going up

317
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: to probably say if you just look just look at

318
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 2: all the numbers, look at the production look at the

319
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: way the teams have played through the postseason to this

320
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: point in time. There's no justifiable reason, if you're being objective,

321
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: that the New England Patriots would only be three and

322
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: a half point dogg against Seattle.

323
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: I think it's that Boston money coming in. Could you

324
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: know they must be pushing it because they're all betting

325
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: on the on the Patriots, because it doesn't make a

326
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 3: lot of sense to me either. I would have thought

327
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: Seattle minus six or something like that. At least this

328
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 3: is interesting. But as you mentioned, all that matters is

329
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: we're still going to be glued to the television on Sunday,

330
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: and if it turns out to be a great game,

331
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: none of the letdown leading up to it, that's inconsequential

332
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: at that point.

333
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, one thing I don't want. I don't want

334
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: it to be the Patriots in the rams from a

335
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: few years ago. What was it was that thirteen to

336
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: three or something like that that was ugliest football games? Yeah,

337
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: Jared Golf, you know missed an open guy. You know,

338
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: Tom Brady had a throat at Rob Gonkowski. They set

339
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: him up for their only touchdown. That was one of

340
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: the ugliest Super Bowls. I can remember very forgettable.

341
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: You're right, This I'm hoping is at least competitive enough

342
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: to make it interesting to where it's not about the

343
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: commercials or the halftime showing one of those type of

344
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: Super Bowls.

345
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440

Speaker 3: because I'm sick as a dog right now, and I

386
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: got like, you know, when you're in the eye of

387
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: the storm of the zoo flu and you got the

388
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: shakes and you got the fever and all that stuff.

389
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: I'm sick as a dog, and I'm so nice that

390
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: I offered not to go into the control room to

391
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: infect anybody else in there so we can keep it

392
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 3: controlled in the studio here. Kevin and Breece still got

393
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: mad at me for that. And by the way, I

394
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 3: let Brie have the option of doing and leading on

395
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: geek News or Stranger than Fiction coming up. Okay, and

396
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: she's gonna lead on Stranger than Fiction because I'm too sick,

397
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: pathetic and I need everyone else to carry me through

398
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: the next three hours.

399
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: Ada needs to save his pipe, so I understand.

400
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 7: And he thinks he's so nice for doing that, which

401
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 7: I don't really understand.

402
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: Why would I not be looked at his sport nice.

403
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: I think he's being nice to you and Mark by

404
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: staying as far away from you guys as possible.

405
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 3: So what this this is the start of World War Z?

406
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: Like this is the star of that movie.

407
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I swear the fact that the last

408
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 7: two weeks we've we've mentioned the Clippers at the start

409
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 7: of every single show, just like gives me like the

410
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 7: eegb's over here.

411
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: Okay, if it was the Suns, though, did you guys

412
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: make any moves?

413
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: No, you didn't.

414
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: Nothing of consequence. So we're talking man a mere coffee.

415
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: I love a mere coffee. You know, a former will

416
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: upset me seeing him in a son's uniform. But we'll

417
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 3: talk more of the NBA trade deadline. What actually did happen?

418
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: But Kevin, uh, what about what didn't here?

419
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the big Fish or I guess the big deer,

420
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call him, I guess it didn't

421
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: get moved at the deadline. All the rumors we talked

422
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: about this last week on the show about Joannison Totakumpo,

423
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: when whether or not he'd be moved at the deadline

424
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: and asking for a trade but not really asking for

425
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 2: a trade, which is really really annoyed that living crap

426
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: out of me, the way he's handled this situation from

427
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: last week and then the fallout this week from not

428
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: getting traded and the Wolf of Wall Street video. Okay, right, right,

429
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: whatever you say?

430
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 3: Honest, do you think he was trying to ingratiate himself

431
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: back with the fan base at for knowing that he

432
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be traded. I think that came out

433
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: from Shams like early in the day on Thursday, that.

434
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: They stopped fielding calls and they were going to keep him.

435
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: Which is wild to me. After all the rampant speculation

436
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: going back to last summer where he's talking with a

437
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: YouTuber speed about if he's going to still be a

438
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Buck in the future, and he said something to

439
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 3: the effect and we'll see what happens. There's been so

440
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: much smoke around this and for him to still be

441
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 3: a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. And I know the

442
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: injury probably played a bit of a role here, because

443
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: if he wasn't injured and a team could trade for

444
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: him right now and have him playing, maybe he's already gone.

445
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: But still the semantics, the verbiage where he doesn't want

446
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: to have to say I want to be traded or

447
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: I want out, it does look very passive aggressive. It

448
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: looks like he's trying to keep all that good will

449
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: with Milwaukee. And I'm here to tell you, honest, they're

450
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: gonna love you forever. You got them their first championship

451
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 3: in fifty years. You can do no wrong, even if

452
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: you say and hold a press conference and do your

453
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: own decision that you want to leave Milwaukee, they would

454
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: still love you in the end.

455
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: It's just so weak. And I heard our friend and

456
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: colleague Yovan Bouja does a great job covering the Lakers.

457
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 2: He kind of used the analogy of like you're in

458
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: a relationship with somebody, but you don't want to initiate

459
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: the breakup, but you just end up being a giant

460
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: douchebag and just trying to sabotage as much as possible,

461
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: so the other person breaks up with you, they force

462
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: their hand. Yeah, that's kind of seems to be like

463
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: what Yiannis is doing. He's trying to do the old

464
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: have your cake and eat it too, And it's like, look, man,

465
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: if you don't want to be there anymore, they don't

466
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: be there anymore. Don't do these long interviews with the

467
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: Athletic and then Milwaukee Journal Sentinel want to talk about

468
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: how much you love Milwaukee and like you want to

469
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: be able to compete and I want to be able

470
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: to retire and win here. But if these things aren't

471
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: aligned and what they feel like they need to go,

472
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: they need to go into a different direction. Well, I

473
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: guess that's something they have to consider. Just say, look, man,

474
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: you guys are not in a position to win. We

475
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: haven't been for the last couple of years. The Dame

476
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: situation didn't work out. I'm not a fan of Doc

477
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: Rivers as a head coach. Send me somewhere where I

478
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: can win. I don't owe you guys anything. You guys

479
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: don't owe me anything. Let's just move on. Just say it.

480
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: Milwaukee is trying to accommodate him and take care of him,

481
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: so it's amicable. So it's a mutual parting of ways,

482
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 3: so it's not some nasty divorced type of split out there.

483
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: So my guess is because all the reporting said Golden

484
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: State was hot form, Minnesota was hot form. Golden State

485
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 3: had four first round picks they could give up. Minnesota

486
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: had Jaden McDaniels, and I think three first round picks

487
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 3: they could give up. Right, there were teams that I

488
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 3: think were willing to trade, and maybe Jannis didn't want

489
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: to come all the way to the West coast because

490
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 3: then he wouldn't be able to fly to Greece as

491
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: easily like or.

492
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: Or Speaking of the video that he posted, the legends

493
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: don't chase in the rumor that he doesn't want to

494
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: play second fiddle to Steph Curry. Sure and feel as

495
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: if it's going to tarnish his legacy as and be

496
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: seen as a ring chaser, which, by the way, no

497
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: logical person would say that, because one, there'd be no

498
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: comparison to Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant joined the team that

499
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: had the best record in the history of basketball, and

500
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: if Jamont Green isn't kicking guys in the nuts in

501
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, they'd probably win that series against the

502
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: Cleveland Cavaliers. So that's one. Two. You already won a

503
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: championship as a lead dog in Milwaukee, so it's not

504
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 2: as if no one's gonna say you weren't able to

505
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: do it without help.

506
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: So he needs to be on social media more to

507
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: see what the fans are saying about him, because you're

508
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 3: completely right there, there won't be that level of back lasts.

509
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 3: You'll be fine.

510
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: And Golden State's not doing jack the last couple of

511
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: seasons as great as Steph Curry is, and he still

512
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: is great, So if anything, he would be viewed as

513
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: almost like a savior. He came in and helped float

514
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: this thing back up to where they were the last

515
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: few years when they when last won the championship a

516
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: few years back, so he could be seen as the elixir,

517
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: as the missing piece, he wouldn't be seen as a

518
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: gravy trainer. So that part doesn't make sense to me either.

519
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: So if indeed he is the one that potentially shuttled

520
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: any sort of trade for the Golden State Warriors, then

521
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: I think that was a short sighted look on his

522
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: part by saying he doesn't want to be in Steph

523
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: curry shadow.

524
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: The only reasoning that makes sense to me of not

525
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 3: willing to go to Golden State is because has all

526
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: that stuff you said is true. But Steph is so

527
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: damn beloved there as he should be. I think he's

528
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: the top five player of all time. He's their favorite son.

529
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 3: There's no way to overcome that. It would be one

530
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: thing of like, twenty years from now, you go to

531
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: Golden State and you are the next guy. If you

532
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: go there right now, play with Steph's Steph eventually retires,

533
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: you're still there. You are always going to be in

534
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: his shadow to some degree. With how much they love

535
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: Steph Curry, KD won those MVPs. They don't care. They

536
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: still love Steph Curry. It's just different. I understand that

537
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 3: I could get that part of it, but it was

538
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: still not kd. It is not the same. It's not

539
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 3: analogous to what Kevin Durant and what he had to

540
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: deal with there because he hadn't won yet. He blew

541
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: a three one lead to Golden State the year before.

542
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: Jannis could retire right now and say I'm not playing

543
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 2: for anybody, I'm not playing for Milwaukee. I'm gonna take

544
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 2: my bag, take everything and go back to Greece and retire.

545
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: He'd be a Hall of Famer. He'd be considered one

546
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: of the all time grace and maybe if he doesn't

547
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: play this out for another six seven years, you can't

548
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: potentially have him competing for a top you know, eight

549
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: spot or whatever all time. But he's certainly defensive player

550
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: of the Year, one of the great two way players

551
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: in the last twenty seasons. So he doesn't need anything.

552
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 2: He doesn't So what if it's an ego player on

553
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: his part, I'm here to tell him your ego doesn't

554
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: need to be play kated when it comes to playing

555
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: with Steph. Even if you win go to Golden State,

556
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: win a championship or two. Your legacy has already cemented,

557
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: so that doesn't necessarily unless it's just in your head.

558
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 2: You feel like you're worried about what other people who

559
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: are uneducated, what they might think.

560
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: Now that's their reason why. That's very kDa Katie.

561
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 6: Kevin Well one almost.

562
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: Secure superstar players probably in the history of sports.

563
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 3: He just tweeted you, Kevin, you might want to check

564
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: your messages there.

565
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: From which account.

566
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: Let me see what I don't like is Yannis tested

567
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: the waters here. He tested the waters, he saw what

568
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: the trade packages were, he saw the locations, and he

569
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: eventually agreed with Milwaukee, Ya, we don't need to do

570
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: this right now. So shifting into acting like, oh, I

571
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: was never going anywhere, it's ridiculous. With the Wolf of

572
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 3: Wall Streets stuff, It's like, no, no, no. If the price

573
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: was right, if the location was as desired as they

574
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: thought it would be for you, you'd already be gone

575
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: by now. So now that it's convenient because the trade

576
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 3: deadline is but behind them, to be like, ah, I

577
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: was always with you, legends, don't go anywhere else, that

578
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: seems a little bit off to me now.

579
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: Seeing that mean, if I was a Bucks fan, It's like,

580
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: don't sit here and gaslight me. Man, Like, I love

581
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: you to death. Your your our favorite son. You're a hero,

582
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: we drafted you, cultivated you. You want a championship. You're phenomenal.

583
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: Don't sit here and gas light me. Just be honest.

584
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: I think all anybody's asked for is just for a

585
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: little bit of honesty here.

586
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: Just be honest.

587
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.

588
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: If I saw him coming to the Clippers, when I

589
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: retract everything, I just said, yes, I do love you honest.

590
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: I do like his personality. I've always liked the way

591
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: he has played. I love he gave one of the

592
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: all time answers a couple of years ago when they

593
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: asked him if this season was a failure, and he

594
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 3: pointed out, how there's a process to all of this

595
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: and in all those seasons we didn't lose, eventually got

596
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: us to a championship. And it was really cerebral and

597
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: really interesting and fascinating to get that type of insight

598
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: from an athlete at that high of a level. And

599
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 3: he is, he's a Hall of Famer today, he is.

600
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 2: He is.

601
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: Did he make the top seventy five team already?

602
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, actually, I mean, I'm not sure.

603
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 3: He's there now. I'll say that I think Giannis is

604
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: so good when you look at how many times he

605
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: finished top five in MVP voting, and he's got MVPs,

606
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: he's got a Defensive Player of the Year award. He

607
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: has maybe the best at least best modern closeout game

608
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: in an NBA finals at least the last fifty years,

609
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: with his fifty point game that he had against the

610
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns sorry Brie in that game six back in

611
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. Yannis is historically great and we've lost

612
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: sight of that a little bit because of him being injured,

613
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 3: of him of them not having a great team around him,

614
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: Janni's you know, and the Milwaukee Bucks just not performing

615
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: well enough in the playoffs, even though Yanna still puts

616
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: up monster numbers. I just think they've mismanaged things, and

617
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: some of.

618
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: It is bo He hasn't been available in the playoffs

619
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: for a couple of runs too recently.

620
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: He's been out and they sold out to get that

621
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 3: championship in twenty twenty one, and that hurts some of

622
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: their future with draft capitol and guys they gave up

623
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: and it's all, okay, you won your first championship in

624
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 3: fifty years. But if he goes somewhere else and wins,

625
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 3: because they're not gonna win in Milwaukee and all this

626
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: bs right now that like, oh, he's going to stay

627
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 3: and they're going to try to build around him this

628
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: summer and still try to make this work. How many

629
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: times are we going to go through this. It's not

630
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: going to work. They don't have the assets, they don't

631
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: have the young guys, they can't build a good enough

632
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: team around him. He goes somewhere else and wins as

633
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: the lead dog. I'm saying, Yannis is like a top

634
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: fifteen player of all time, maybe top ten, Like that's

635
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: how good he has been. So a guy that competitive,

636
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: that wants to win, that always accepts challenges and knows

637
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: what his legacy is. I gotta think it's still gonna

638
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: happen this summer, regardless of what they're saying right now.

639
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 3: I don't buy it.

640
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be easy, but it is possible for

641
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: them to potentially try to put more pieces around them

642
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: and try to get them to win. They will have

643
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 2: the ability to have three first round picks that they

644
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: can trade over the summer. The way this season is trending,

645
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: one of them is going to be a lottery pick,

646
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: and you know who the hell knows where that falls.

647
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: The Dallas Mavericks had a how many percent chance to

648
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: get Cooper flag and they ended up getting it. So

649
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: if one of those six, if one of those picks

650
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: is in the top three, to go with two more,

651
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: you have Kyle Kusma's expiring salary at around twenty some

652
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: million dollars. If the right player comes available in the offseason,

653
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: you can say, well, hold up, we don't necessarily need

654
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 2: to move on as to Blank. We can bring somebody

655
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: else here and it can end up helping us and

656
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: raising our ceiling a little bit. Do I think that

657
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: is likely? No, But I'm saying that this summer similar level.

658
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: We're talking about a bunch of these other teams that

659
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: are trying to court you honest that once you know

660
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: the summer starts, you have an additional draft pick to attach,

661
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: you have more compensation, and the packages for Gianni's become

662
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: more robust to present to Milwaukee. Milwaukee also has more

663
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: assets that they have available to them to be able

664
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: to try to throw at other teams to see if

665
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: they can bring in some help.

666
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: I think this is more about and I think you

667
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 3: believe this too. Of course, that other teams, they could

668
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 3: get more offers and more teams bidding against themselves this

669
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: summer because other teams will have more assets. Like talking

670
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: about the Lakers, they'll go from one first round pick

671
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: they could offer now to three. Miami, one of the

672
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: destinations he's interested in, could go from two first round

673
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: picks to having four this summer. Minnesota apparently doesn't have

674
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: a first round pick they can offer currently, they would

675
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: go from zero to one. New York would go from

676
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: zero to having two this summer. And San Antonio, I

677
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: mean they could have made it happen right now, the

678
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: other players they have.

679
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: If they wanted to. We talked about this last week.

680
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: San Antonio and Oklahoma City, if they really wanted to,

681
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: could easily have made this deal.

682
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: They still go from three first round picks they could

683
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: trade right now to five or not right now, but

684
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: before the trade deadline having five first round picks they

685
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: could trade this summer. So maybe it's just good business,

686
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 3: maybe being patient waiting for Giannis to recover, who has

687
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: also said like he still wants to play this year,

688
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: even though they could just go into total tank mode

689
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: with all the other teams that are because this is

690
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: a great draft.

691
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: All due respect to Doc Rivers, I kind of take

692
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: what he says with a grain of salt because I

693
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: don't know if he's going to be here this time

694
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: next year. That's a bunch of crap. Well, that's a

695
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: bunch of crap, and y'all know it. Well, you know

696
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: all the way the organization organization is being run. You

697
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: might be right. Doc might still be there next year.

698
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: That might be a mistake. Though, to be honest, considering

699
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: the things that Giannis has said about Doc and about

700
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: some of his teammates publicly in the media, I can't

701
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: see if he does have any designs of potentially staying there.

702
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers is not going to be the head coach.

703
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that right now. That's a bunch of crap,

704
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: and y'all know it.

705
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: I think Kevin might be right. I can't believe Doc

706
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: said the other day Joel Embiid is the most talented

707
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: player I've ever coached. While he is coaching Giannis is

708
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: at a koupa. There no need for that.

709
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, And you know he knew what he

710
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: was doing when he said that. He's like, two can

711
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: play at this game, honest, you know what I mean?

712
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: So maybe Doc already knows he's on his way out.

713
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't care.

714
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: Does his contract go well past this year where he

715
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: can just sit at home collecting checks or do some broadcasting.

716
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, he'll get fired. He'll be He'll show up

717
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: next to No What Eagle on NBC next week.

718
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: I like that broadcast team.

719
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: The Doc is a good broadcaster. Doc will always have

720
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: a job in broadcast whenever he wants. He does a

721
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: good job, no doubt.

722
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: So if she cares enough to handle things for us

723
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: in the very next segment, it's stranger than fiction breed.

724
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: Do you want to tease something out here? What do

725
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: you got? Give us that good tease? Come on, this

726
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: is profressional radio.

Speaker 8: So you see you.

730

Speaker 7: Always cut me off too, which is like another reason

731
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 7: I don't love doing that.

732
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: I'm cutting myself off. Oh you you need a question,

Speaker 3: floors Yours.

734

770
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: I have seen it.

771
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I wear it like a badge of honor that

772
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: I've never seen it.

773
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 8: Why am I not surprised?

774
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,560

775
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,240

776
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: It looked like it was done on the Hallmark channel

777
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: or something like that. No disrespect.

778
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 7: Ryan Gosling is an Academy Award winning actor.

779
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: Not for that.

780
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 8: That's harsh.

781
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 7: Alrighty, Well anyway, well then I'll just tell you and

782
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 7: pretty much most of society has seen The Notebook, but

783
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 7: at the very very end of the movie, they're a

784
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 7: little bit older and they die within like they die

785
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 7: at the same time.

786
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 8: Basically they dye in each other's arms.

787
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 7: Right, Okay, So I there is this article about this

788
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 7: controversial Sarco quote unquote suicide pod which allows couples to

789
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 7: die together.

790
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: A suicide pod, a pod, a pact for a pod.

791
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: What is this?

792
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: This is dark? Are we talk about this?

793
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 7: I'm sorry it would say I thought it was really

794
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 7: creepy but cool in a weird way.

795
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 8: Okay, well, because I really like the name of it.

796
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 7: It's called the Sarco pod, which is short for sarcophagus.

797
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: Okay, oh, how clever, I know.

798
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 8: And so it's a.

799
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 7: Three D printed euthansia device, and so it's drawn like

800
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 7: attention because of its design and purpose, you know, but.

801
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 8: Really it's the whole point is so couples they.

802
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 7: Go into it, they go into this pod together and

803
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 7: they both press a button at the same time, and

804
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 7: it releases night and gas inside and reduces the oxygen levels.

805
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: This sounds very romantic.

806
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 8: Lethal amounts, and so the guy who's.

807
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: Asking themselves to death, that's what we're talking about, couples

808
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: using a gas chamber to die together. Again.

809
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 7: The only reason why I thought this story was a

810
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 7: little bit interesting was because we're getting close to Valentine's

811
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 7: Day and it just kind of opens that wide discussion

812
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 7: of like couples that they do kind of like sometimes

813
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 7: couples just die like days or minutes apart from each other.

814
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 7: A couple that's been together like fifty sixty years.

815
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: That's one goes dying of a broken heart, isn't it?

816
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 8: Broken heart syndrome is real?

817
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: Like me with the beats of zoo bots and the

818
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 3: zoo flu.

819
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 8: Well, you look great though, unfortunately, wow?

820
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: Is that it?

821
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 8: Or it's not?

822
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 7: Like you're on a plane in Indiana right now. I

823
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 7: would be more, I believe that, you know.

824
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: But anyway, so that I would go.

825
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: If they wanted them, if they threw him into the trade,

826
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: Adam will.

827
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 3: Go take me away you.

828
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 7: He'd wear that yellow jersey really proud. I'm sure it's anyway.

829
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 7: So it was developed by this Australian physician and so

830
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 7: he's actually known for his advocacy of assisted suicide.

831
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: Doctor.

832
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 7: So assistant suicide is actually like a big deal in

833
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 7: like Switzerland. Actually wrote a paper about this in college.

834
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: So maybe I just have to you're an extrata. This

835
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 2: is right up your ally.

836
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 8: I wrote a paper kind of like advocating for it.

837
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 3: Advocating for it.

838
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's suicide. So so Switzerland is like a big deal.

839
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 7: And actually another movie where that was like really prominent.

840
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 7: Was Me before You Great? Also Ram Calm movie that

841
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 7: people should check out.

842
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: I don't know that one.

843
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 7: Oh really Amelia Clark, she's from Game of Thrones Calisi.

844
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

845
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 7: And then the really a super hot guy that I

846
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 7: can't think of his name, but no, no, he's not

847
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 7: a Game of Thrones, but.

848
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 8: It's super he's super hot.

849
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 7: It's about a paralyzed gentleman who's really really rich and

850
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 7: hires Amelia Clark is like his uh kind of like

851
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 7: caregiver slash, you know, house keeper, and they kind of like,

852
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 7: well in blah blah blah blah. But he's paralyzed and

853
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 7: he's young. I mean he's probably like in his early thirties.

854
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 7: So they also kind of talked about assist suicide in

855
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 7: that one. So he received interests. The scientists that received

856
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 7: interest from couples, including one from Britain that said they

857
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 7: wanted to quote unquote die in each other's arms. Okay,

858
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 7: so the new design, they call it a double Dutch Sarco,

859
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 7: the double Dutch, the bubble dutche.

860
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 8: It shouldn't laugh, but it's so funny.

861
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 7: So that both occupants must press their buttons at the

862
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 7: same time or the device will not be activated, and

863
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 7: so the proposed device would actually use AI to assess

864
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 7: the mental capacity of the occupants, because what if they're

865
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 7: both a little.

866
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 8: Cuckoo you know.

867
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, feel confident the computers determining that that

868
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: makes sense to make sure. Yes, sciences I'm sure do

869
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: very well in determining and the classifying human.

870
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

871
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 8: See, I don't know about that. So yeah, so that's

872
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 8: what that's what I got.

873
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: So you got plans for how you're going out basically

874
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: the scene.

875
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 7: I just feel like, you know, you're just kind of

876
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 7: taking matters in science and you know, kind of evolution

877
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 7: into your own hand Darwin Serie into your own hand.

878
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 2: That's a great first date icebreaker right there.

879
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: How would you feel suicide pod together.

880
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, just you know, things are getting dark.

881
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 7: Maybe you can't afford rent or something.

882
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 2: I thought even afford rents, you know, you can move out,

883
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 2: you know, or get some more roommates. You don't necessarily

884
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: have to end it all. I was like, well, rent

885
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: went up by five hundred bucks. I guess it's tough

886
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: for me to go go to the mansion in the

887
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: sky with the Lord Jesus.

888
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 3: I thought even mentioning a movie that had the name

889
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 3: suicide when we went through the Halloween movies. Adam's horribly

890
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: long list of Halloween movies would be too far. We

891
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 3: just did a segment on it now.

892
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 8: Okay, but again we're still on the air again.

893
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 7: The whole point, the whole point was the fact that

894
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 7: we're near Valentine's Day.

895
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 2: You couldn't breath, you couldn't find anything else Valentine's Day

896
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: related or couples related.

897
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 8: Just reminded me of the notebook.

898
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: That's the only reason be mine in the suicide pod.

899
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 7: Because pods are used in sports too. Okay, it's just

900
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 7: like the hyperbaric chambers.

901
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, cryo therapy and stuff like that.

902
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, So that's what I'm saying is just now they're

903
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 7: expanding into different realms of life.

904
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: There, instead of helping your improve performance, we're gonna help

905
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: you kill yourself. Great, this all sounds like progress to me. Bri.

906
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 3: Well, it's gonna be hard to be standing erect if

907
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: you're in the suicide pod, like this is no, you're right,

908
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: this is stranger than picture.

909
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: All right.

910
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 8: Okay, but see I feel like I really hit my

911
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 8: mark here.

912
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 3: Couldn't there have just been they tried to freeze their

913
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 3: bodies to like rejoin each other in the future somewhere

914
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: or story like that.

915
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 2: Something just cryogenically frozen.

916
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 8: Okay, if you had a choice, what would you rather do?

917
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 7: Would you rather be like Captain America and go freeze

918
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 7: yourself or just be like it's my time, It's my time.

919
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: It's like a heavy assistant suicide. It's like a heavy discussion, man,

920
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: whether pull a plug on someone or not? Is that

921
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 3: sports radio appropriate?

922
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 8: But you have the choice, that's all I was saying.

923
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 7: This is all This is the whole point again Valentine's Day,

924
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 7: and you have the choice to do whatever you need

925
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 7: to do.

926
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: I choose to have just a nice, you know, date

927
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 2: with my wife and enjoy each other's company and talking

928
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 2: about the future. In the future that doesn't include us

929
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 2: killing ourselves in a suicide pod.

930
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one thing to like plan to have your

931
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 3: caskets and be buried next to one another. This seems

932
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: a little bit different than that, although I guess this

933
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: is cheaper. It's one casket rather they just get buried together.

934
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 8: It's one Sarco pod. Double dutch, double dutch.

935
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 3: There you go, double dutch.

936
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: Well, maybe we'll move on to something more brighter. Past

937
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: is coming up on the next segment. That's a hard

938
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: win to transition out of there, Bri.

939
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: I gotta say, I guess Matt Stafford's not going to

940
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 3: greener pastors. He's coming back next season with the Rams.

941
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 3: We'll talk about him winning the MVP next here on

942
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: F and A on FSR.

943
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: By God, Bri, you're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

944
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 2: That's right hours away from Super Bowl sixty in Santa

945
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: Clara with the Patriots taking on the Seattle Seahawks. It

946
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: is Kevin Figures and Adam Alton here on Fox Sports

947
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 2: Radio at k fig one is where you can find me.

948
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: On next at follow out of May is where you

949
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: can find Adam. Adam, Why are you shaking your head?

950
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 3: I'm just surprised we're still on thought. I thought Breed

951
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 3: might have committed career suicide after that last conversation in

952
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: Stranger than Fiction.

953
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: My god, that's gonna be a hard win to transition

954
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 2: out of.

955
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: I feel bad enough. I got the zoo flu over here.

956
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 8: Come on, it wasn't that bad, you guys.

957
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 7: The Sarco pod no double Dutch Sarco Podus let's we

958
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 7: forget the double dutch, double dutch.

959
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 3: Kevin hold me in the double dutch position after that story.

960
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: Please, it's coming up later this hour, we'll speak to

961
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 2: our Fox Sports Radio colleague, Ephrom Salam. NFC champion Ephrom

962
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: Salam play with the Atlanta Falcons in nineteen ninety eight,

963
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: played in the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. Got

964
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: a lot to get to with Ephraim. But before we

965
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: get to him, we got to talk about this MVP race,

966
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 2: which we've talked about. I won't say ad nausea, madam,

967
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 2: but the last couple of months of the season, you know,

968
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 2: and I remember bringing up, maybe even in October early November, Hey,

969
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford probably putting up a pretty good case to

970
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 2: be the MVP of the league right now, despite the

971
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: fact that the Patriots are playing extremely well. And then

972
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 2: really I think what really closed the gap, and by

973
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: the way, Stafford winning the award by the narrowest of margins,

974
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: just one first place vote, the fact that the Rams

975
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: kind of stumbled towards down the stretch of the regular

976
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: season and the Patriots just continued to roll with He

977
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 2: and Drake May's numbers were for the most part fairly comparable,

978
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: which ended up leading to the vote being as narrow

979
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 2: as it was.

980
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: I'm glad cooler has prevailed or there was a couple

981
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 3: more voters that were in favor of Matt Stafford because

982
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 3: I think we made the case for him. It just

983
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 3: made more sense. Drake May has had a great season.

984
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 3: It's only his second season, though, and they played one

985
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: team or got one victory. I guess a team that

986
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: was above five hundred. That team they also lost to

987
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 3: because it was the Buffalo Bills. So it just wasn't

988
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: that impressive of a resume when you look at it

989
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: that way. I will say this, though, I forget who

990
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 3: was on with us that point out. You know, Drake

991
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: May probably doesn't have as good of weapons as Matt Stafford.

992
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair argument. DeVante Adams, Pokinakua. You

993
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 3: can't say he's got Sean McVay, that he was more

994
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 3: set up to have this powerhouse of an offense, and

995
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 3: we knew they probably would be coming into the season

996
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: as long as Matt Stafford was healthy and he had

997
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 3: to go through the back and issue with all that,

998
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 3: then Drake May, like Drake May, didn't have the necessary weapons.

999
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm surprised Stefan Diggs is still this good coming off

1000
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: the ACLA, But I don't think he had an advantage

1001
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: weapon wise. But the schedule is just very meaningful to me.

1002
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: I will say that too, because and it's really hard

1003
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: when you start playing these hypothetical games. But all right,

1004
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: if the Rams had to schedule the Patriots had who's

1005
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: the say, Matthew Stafford win that throw for fifty four

1006
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: hundred yards and fifty five to fifty six touchdowns instead

1007
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 2: of forty, you know what I mean, It's like his

1008
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: numbers could have been way more inflated if the competition

1009
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: he faced was was easier. But the Rams played one

1010
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 2: of the toughest schedules in the entire league in recent memory. Meanwhile,

1011
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 2: the Patriots had the easiest schedule in the history of

1012
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: the entire league this year history of the league.

1013
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 3: The NFC West this season was one of the best

1014
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 3: divisions we've ever seen in football.

1015
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 2: Right?

1016
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 3: Did we get three teams that all won twelve games

1017
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 3: at least between the Niners, Like that's insane the level

1018
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 3: of competition when you have to play all those teams

1019
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 3: twice and they had some really close losses by the way,

1020
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: where Matthew Stafford was still very good and even though

1021
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 3: he lost in the Panthers late in the season, even

1022
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 3: though there was that Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons,

1023
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: overall body of work, I think while it was close,

1024
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 3: I definitely leaned towards Matthew Stafford, and I guess that's

1025
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 3: how the voting eventually shook out.

1026
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not have been necessarily upset or like

1027
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 2: you know, throwing things across the room of Drake may

1028
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: would have won, but I would have been disappointed because

1029
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 2: I do feel that Matthew Stafford would have earned this

1030
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: award and for the people because a lot of comparisons

1031
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 2: that have been drawn between this Patriot team have been

1032
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: to the Greatest Show on Turf and their breakout year

1033
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: in ninety nine with Kurt Warner, you know, because they

1034
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: say they had one of the easiest schedules in the

1035
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: in leak history. They ended up winning a Super Bowl

1036
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: and Kurt Warner won the MVP. So why is that

1037
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: used against him because there really wasn't any competition. Do

1038
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: you know who was runner up to Kurt Warner that

1039
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 2: year for MVP. His teammate Marshall Falk, so they basically

1040
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 2: stole votes from each other, and in third place was

1041
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: a distant threat. It was Peyton Manning, whose numbers at

1042
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 2: that time were nowhere close to what Kurt wan production was.

1043
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: So this is like a neck and neck race when

1044
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: it comes to like the individual stat numbers. So then

1045
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: you have to start getting into the nitty gritty. You know,

1046
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: who did you play, who was healthy when they played,

1047
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: who was injured when they played. You know, all that

1048
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 2: stuff factors in, which was why it made it easy

1049
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: for me to say, Matthew Stafford, even though he has

1050
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: all these weapons, it's playing in a tough division, one

1051
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: of the toughest schedules in the history of the league,

1052
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 2: just opposed against Drake May, who's playing against one of

1053
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: the easiest schedules in the league. And that's ultimately what

1054
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: put it over the top for me.

1055
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 3: Granted, Drake May had a great year, it was close.

1056
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 3: His offensive line didn't grade out that well either, No,

1057
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: but the way he threw deep balls with pinpoint accuracy

1058
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: was really impressive. And if they go on to win

1059
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 3: against the Seahawks, he's going to have to be marvelous

1060
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 3: out there. He's going to have to have an all

1061
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: time performance against that defense, and he has risen to

1062
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 3: the occasion at times. The Baltimore game with the comeback there.

1063
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: That may just be on John Harbaugh and the way

1064
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: things have gone there. But Drake May he is it

1065
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: is second season, like the future is so bright. Some

1066
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 3: probably held that against him, like he's going to have

1067
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 3: other opportunities to win. Let's give this one to Matthew Stafford.

1068
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard that notion to the people saying that

1069
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: this is a career achievement award for Matthew Stafford, which

1070
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I don't think it's fair to him

1071
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: because if you look at this production, leading the league

1072
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: in passing I think he was second behind May and

1073
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 2: passer rating, leading the league in touchdowns. This is not

1074
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: a charity award for Matthew Stafford. No, he earned this.

1075
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: He played his ass off. He played his ass off

1076
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game. You can't say that he's

1077
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: the reason why they lost to Seattle. They just couldn't

1078
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: get to stop when they needed to. That wasn't on

1079
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 2: his shoulders. So this is far from a copate career achievement.

1080
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: You know what, it does do is It solidifies him

1081
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: and I mentioned this in the first segment of the show.

1082
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 2: It solidifies him as a Hall of Famer if there

1083
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: were ever any doubts of whether or not he would

1084
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 2: make it. Right now, six all time in passing yards,

1085
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: He's two touchdown passes behind Philip Rivers for six all

1086
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: time when it comes to that stat and he has

1087
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl victory, so no longer stat Patford. He's

1088
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 2: putting up big numbers and it's mattering in games that matter.

1089
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 2: He's winning Super Bowls, winning league MVPs. He is definitely

1090
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer at this point. There's no question

1091
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: about it anymore.

1092
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: He's one of the best cases of somebody flipping the

1093
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 3: narrative on him. You mentioned stat Padford. Rob Parker came

1094
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 3: up with that, and it's it's brilliant.

1095
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: It really really is.

1096
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 6: That's right.

1097
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: Throw my eyes out about eighty eight percent of Rob's little,

1098
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 2: you know, acronyms.

1099
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 3: But that was a good one, and he ended up

1100
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 3: getting cooked by it when he continued to doubt stat

1101
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 3: Padford throughout his run with the Rams to the Super

1102
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 3: Bowl a few years ago. And I think he still

1103
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 3: tried to take some of the credit away from him somehow,

1104
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 3: go did he? I believe at that time it's like

1105
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 3: there's one throwaway from losing, and they had that. They

1106
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 3: was so close in some of the games.

1107
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: Okay, plenty of all time greats have been one throw

1108
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: away from losing a super Bowl or a championship or

1109
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: two or three.

1110
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he seems to love to point that stuff out

1111
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: with Tom Brady all the time. Yeah, he could take

1112
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 3: away four Rangers.

1113
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,479
Speaker 2: What that throw from Joe Montanna to Clark is about

1114
00:48:58,520 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 2: four inches.

1115
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: Too high to swear he was just trying to throw

1116
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: that ball away, But I do think he was looking

1117
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 3: for him.

1118
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 2: I do too.

1119
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: But Matt Stafford, he's one of the few guys ever

1120
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: to get the opportunity to rewrite his legacy, you know,

1121
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 3: and he took advantage of it. And I think Sean

1122
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 3: McVay could go down as one of the best coaches

1123
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: ever when all things were said and done. Is he

1124
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 3: even forty yet, Like he's got a lot of time

1125
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 3: to carve out his legacy as well. And some people

1126
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 3: might use that against him. Well, look what Sean McVay

1127
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 3: was able to do for Jared Goff. But Jared Goff

1128
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,479
Speaker 3: also has still been playing at a very high level.

1129
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 3: Obviously with Detroit, Matt Stafford independent of the Rams, we

1130
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 3: knew they weren't all empty numbers. This was a good

1131
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 3: player with a bad organization on a bad team that

1132
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 3: if you gave him the requisite weapons with a much

1133
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 3: better franchise, he could go on to win it all.

1134
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 3: And that was the question mark around him, and he

1135
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 3: was able to turn that narrative around, like that's impressive.

1136
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: The Rams sold the farm to get him. They knew

1137
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: that Jared Golf was over. They traded him away a

1138
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: couple of first round picks and to bring Stafford in

1139
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: to this offense with Sean McVay, and the results have

1140
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: been nothing short of spectacular. You know, a super Bowl championship,

1141
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: an MVP award, knocking on the door of another Super

1142
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: Bowl appearance, and I'm actually happy for him that he

1143
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 2: made the announcement while he was accepting the award they

1144
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: was coming back for another season. I do not want

1145
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 2: to see his spectacular play in Look, why not trying

1146
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: to go for another MVP award at the age of

1147
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 2: thirty eight. You know, there's a trend between him and

1148
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady all these guys playing into

1149
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: their forties, playing at a high level, why would you

1150
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 2: want to see it end?

1151
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: It seems like he's seen the field about as well

1152
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 3: as he ever has been. The arm hasn't lost the

1153
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: strength that we thought maybe was going to happen when

1154
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 3: he had the arm issue, and then he came into

1155
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 3: this year with the back injury, which was very nebulous

1156
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 3: and unclear on just how this would go for him

1157
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 3: to put together an MVP season with all that stuff.

1158
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 3: With him aging out, we thought like, yeah, you got

1159
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 3: to come back and run it back because they've surrounded

1160
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 3: him with those weapons we talked about earlier that can't

1161
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 3: extend guys careers even though maybe he's not in his

1162
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 3: prime anymore. You give him good enough weapons like the Vision,

1163
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 3: the REDS, the football IQ. That's all the last stuff

1164
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: to go. The anticipation that he still has in his

1165
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 3: game so he can still look like he's at peak

1166
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: form even though he's.

1167
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: Thirty seven, thirty eight, no doubt. Now here's one source

1168
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: of controversy when it comes to the MVP vote, because

1169
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 2: so we know, as we mentioned, one first place vote

1170
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: is what separated Drake May from s Matthew Stafford, so

1171
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 2: the first. So there were a couple of first place

1172
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: votes that did go to Josh Allen which didn't have

1173
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 2: I mean, he had a great year, Josh Allen. I

1174
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: think a few people would argue whether or not he

1175
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 2: shoul get a vote. I don't think there's really much

1176
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 2: issue with that. Yeah, there is one first place vote,

1177
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 2: and this is from a former Pro Football Focus writer

1178
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: who voted for Justin Herbert. Yes, and he admitted that

1179
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 2: it was him. He put a post on X on

1180
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 2: Friday afternoon, Okay, I put your name up. Yeah, he

1181
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 2: put his name on it says I'm the one that

1182
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: voted for Justin Herbert. I did it because his office

1183
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: line was terrible, his offensive weapons are terrible. He had

1184
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 2: to throw on a cape and be Superman every single

1185
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 2: solitary week, and the fact that he was able to

1186
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 2: drag that offense into even being a playoff team was

1187
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: nothing short of spectacular. So that is my justification for

1188
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: voting him number one on my MVP ballot. I don't

1189
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: necessarily disagree with the notion that maybe he should have

1190
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 2: gotten some first are some MVP votes. I think first

1191
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: place vote is a little bit rich for me, but

1192
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 2: I certainly can understand his line of thinking and doing that,

1193
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: But basically that was the swing vote. That's what basically

1194
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 2: ended up the one vote for the Los Angeles counterpart

1195
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 2: quarterback is the one that basically put Matthew Stafford ahead

1196
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: to be able to win the MVP Award.

1197
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 3: Well, if it took that to get it right, all's

1198
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 3: well that ends well, I guess, But it's not that nuts.

1199
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 2: I understand the rationale behind it.

1200
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, some people did say this during the season. Look

1201
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,959
Speaker 3: at what he has to do. They lose their two

1202
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 3: best offensive linemen. He's getting beat to hell. Most sacks

1203
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 3: in the year or most hits anybody's taken quarterback hits

1204
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 3: twenty five years or something like that. Yes, there's something

1205
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 3: to it.

1206
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 2: I had a broken hand. He played through the last

1207
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 2: half of the season.

1208
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was heroic at times. He did elevate his team,

1209
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 3: like they would have had no shot to make the

1210
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 3: playoffs if he wasn't playing so far above his head

1211
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 3: and keeping them above water at the same time. Like

1212
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: it was impressive. But the problem is, you do have

1213
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 3: two other guys that clearly are just playing better. But

1214
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: you could make the argument, Okay, put justin Herbert in

1215
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: their situations with those receivers with that offensive line. You know,

1216
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 3: it's very circumstantial. As someone loves to say.

1217
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 1: We're trying to bite a Show's true.

1218
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 3: It's totally fair. So I don't it's one guy voting

1219
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: for him. I'm glad he backed it up and gave

1220
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 3: us his logic along the way here, and.

1221
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 2: The logic makes sense. He wasn't just like, oh, I'm

1222
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: just gonna come in and just muck things up just

1223
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: for the fun of it, just to mess up the

1224
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 2: process like people doing the Hall of Fame voting process

1225
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot of times. He put his name on it,

1226
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: he backed it up, and you know it, Like I said,

1227
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have done it, but it certainly makes a

1228
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: lot of sense to me.

1229
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 3: I first thought, did Matt Lennie Smith have a vote

1230
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 3: for him? A second?

1231
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: Matt Money Smith's proxy for sure.

1232
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 3: Coming out next, we got our friend e from salam

00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 3: sick battling through, not just sick in the head.

1253
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 6: Warning hurt more than me.

1254
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 3: I got the zoo flu and it hurts Kevin.

1255
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: You're playing hurry? What is it? Sam Darnold had the

1256
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 2: oblique and Drake May has the shoulder.

1257
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I got this and it's much worse than

1258
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 3: anything any football player has ever dealt with in the

1259
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 3: history of the.

1260
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: Game than you're powering through, you know. Lindsey Vaughn's got

1261
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 2: nothing on you, Adam. That's for damn sure. I have

1262
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: the power coming up in about thirty minutes or so,

1263
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 2: one of the best defensive players in the NFL could

1264
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 2: potentially be on the move this offseason. So we'll talk

1265
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 2: about that. But coming up right now, we got the

1266
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty coming up obviously on Sunday afternoon. Someone

1267
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: who has some experience in a situation like this is

1268
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: going to join us right now, Adam, Let's get to it.

1269
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 3: Alan Drakan did thank you, Doddy well with the Super

1270
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 3: Bowl on Sunday. We needed intel from a man that

1271
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 3: has played in the Big Game. He lived it, he

1272
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 3: breathed it. Didn't have to listen to Big Bad Voodoo

1273
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 3: Daddy play at the halftime show as he was in

1274
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 3: the locker room with the rest of the Atlanta Falcons

1275
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 3: during Super Bowl thirty four. It's our friend and colleague

1276
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 3: here at Fox Sports Radio, Ephram Slom Ephraim, thanks for

1277
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 3: joining us back here on FNX.

1278
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 6: What's happening man and you just so you know, it

1279
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 6: was Super Bowl thirty three. I wish I was in

1280
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl thirty before that means I would have

1281
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 6: went back to back.

1282
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that from it, because I believe

1283
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 2: that was your rookie year. Was it not that you

1284
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: went to the super Bowl with Atlanta?

1285
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 6: That was my rookie year. It's funny. I was having

1286
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 6: a conversation last night with some friends about if I

1287
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 6: would have known been what I know now. Like my

1288
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 6: rookie I was the youngest player ever to start in

1289
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,959
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl at the time, and I just thought

1290
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 6: it was normal. I thought every year we would be

1291
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 6: going to the super Bowl, having an opportunity to go

1292
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl. Boy was I wrong, because that

1293
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 6: was the closest I've ever gotten to a super Bowl

1294
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 6: in the twelve years I played after that. So it's

1295
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 6: one of those things where my nephew is playing for

1296
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 6: the New England Patriots, Elijah Ponder, and I was telling

1297
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 6: his mom and his dad last night that I was

1298
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 6: telling him to cherish it now. He was undrafted out

1299
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 6: of Kyle Poly Defensive end number ninety one had a

1300
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 6: tremended He's the one they sole a touchdown from. He

1301
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 6: picked up the fumble they gave him. The fumble took

1302
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 6: the touchdown away from him. Last week in the AFC

1303
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 6: Championship Game, but I was just telling them to look.

1304
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 6: Number one, don't let the game get too big. Number Two,

1305
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 6: take this opportunity as an undrafted player to capitalize on this,

1306
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 6: because this is something that could start your career for

1307
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 6: you know, ten twelve years, you know, playing games like

1308
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 6: this so young.

1309
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, from And maybe it's different because you were and

1310
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 2: wide eyed at the time and it was so cool

1311
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: and amazing. Because I've asked different athletes this question, and

1312
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 2: I get different answers. Once the game, you know, begins,

1313
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: and all the pomping circumstances over and you're out there

1314
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: and you're lining up and you know who you're playing, Like,

1315
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 2: do you still feel I'm playing in the Super Bowl

1316
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: or is it just another football game for you?

1317
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 6: No, you don't. You do you feel it the whole time? Yeah,

1318
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 6: it's it's intense because number one, it took forever to

1319
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 6: get there. The journey you have to go on to

1320
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:35,479
Speaker 6: get there is unbelievable, and you can't block the fact.

1321
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 6: I remember when they called us out in the starting lineup.

1322
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 6: I was running out and all I was doing was saying,

1323
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 6: please don't fall, please don't because I couldn't feel my

1324
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 6: legs like I couldn't feel my legs running out and

1325
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 6: during the starting lineup, and I was just like, please

1326
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 6: don't fall on national TV. And then Share was over

1327
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 6: their thing and it just was a It was one

1328
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 6: of those things where it was surreal the entire time

1329
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 6: because this was everything, and as a rookie, I was like, Wow,

1330
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 6: I get to be a Super Bowl champion my first

1331
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 6: time out, right Like, that was the constant thought. Now

1332
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 6: as we started getting the dirt beat out of us

1333
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 6: by the Broncos, it started to fade and it just

1334
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 6: became how do we get back in this game? Right Like,

1335
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 6: it became smaller in terms of the grand stage of

1336
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 6: it because we were behind and just trying to figure

1337
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 6: out a way to get ourselves back in the game,

1338
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 6: which we never did, by the way.

1339
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was a tough one to take, but

1340
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 2: you know, Rod Smith exactly. Speaking of Rod Smith, and

1341
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to bring up bad memories, but I

1342
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: mean we talked about Gugene Robinson, who gave up a

1343
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 2: big touchdown pass in that game, and of course that

1344
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 2: was that kind of casted a pall over the weekend

1345
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 2: a little bit for you guys. The fact that he

1346
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: won the what was the Sportsmanship of the Year award

1347
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 2: or whatever, and.

1348
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 6: Then the bart Star Man of the Year award.

1349
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we can find out the night before

1350
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: that he unfortunately was arrested for attempting to a solicitor prostitute.

1351
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Did that have any sort of effect on you guys

1352
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 2: mentally your preparation the way that did it throw you

1353
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 2: off at all? You know the going into it?

1354
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it would throw you off if your co host

1355
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 6: got arrested on the way to the state to the

1356
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 6: station to do this show.

1357
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you'd literally be like, what what happening?

1358
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 6: It was the way it happened. And then the fact

1359
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 6: that he played in the game, I mean, you know

1360
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 6: he wouldn't be at his best, you know. Eugene was

1361
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 6: a hell of a player, pro Bowl player, played in

1362
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl the year before, the year prior with

1363
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 6: Green Bay, so he had the most Super Bowl experience

1364
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 6: on our team outside of our coach Dan Reeves. And

1365
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 6: it was one of those situations where I don't think

1366
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 6: it was handled properly because we never really talked about

1367
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 6: it because it happened the day essentially early morning of

1368
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl day, we didn't have time to really

1369
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 6: process it. And address it. And then Eugene goes out

1370
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 6: and plays in the game, knowing he probably didn't get

1371
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 6: any sleep the night before, Presley, not with your you know,

1372
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 6: your wife and your kids at the hotels you have

1373
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 6: to go back to after being booked, it was probably

1374
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 6: safe to say that he didn't get a lot of

1375
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 6: rest that night. And so it kind of it caught

1376
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 6: us off guard all that morning because all the reporters

1377
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 6: and I mean our hotel was full of every news

1378
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 6: outlet and all they wanted to talk about was was

1379
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 6: the incident that happened.

1380
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm probably not getting busted by a hooker tonight,

1381
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 3: but you know, under the influence of too much day quill,

1382
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 3: which made me think it was Super Bowl thirty four

1383
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 3: instead of Super Bowl thirty three. But I got big

1384
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 3: bad Voodoo Daddy right, and Maria Steffan was there, and

1385
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 3: who Stevie Wonder was there?

1386
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1387
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 3: What about what about all the other distractions with the

1388
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 3: preparation leading up to it, ephrom and just everybody bug

1389
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 3: in you for tickets, friends and family.

1390
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was it was something to be old. I

1391
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 6: remember that Super Bowl was in Miami, so Miami itself

1392
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 6: is a distraction. Okay, so you take a young twenty

1393
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 6: two year old kid and drop him in the middle

1394
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 6: of South Beach a week before the Super Bowl. It

1395
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 6: was it was it was something to behold. It was

1396
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 6: one of those things, was like, man, I'm glad we

1397
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 6: didn't have camera phones back then. You know. It was

1398
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 6: it was a lot. It was an excess of fun

1399
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 6: and excitement, and then the family aspect of everybody. I

1400
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 6: remember my freshman, my freshman high school football coach called

1401
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 6: me when we were going to the Super Bowl and

1402
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 6: left me a VOICEMAX because essentially I just turned my

1403
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 6: phone off. It was ridiculous. And he just was like, hey, congratulations,

1404
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 6: my wife and I are coming out to the Super Bowl.

1405
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 6: All we need from you is playing tickets and Super

1406
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 6: Bowl tickets and then we'll find a place to stay.

1407
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 6: And I was like, this is my freshman football coach.

1408
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 6: I'm the one who got you your start in football.

1409
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 6: And now, mind you, I only played like half the

1410
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 6: season as a freshman. Then they moved me up. So

1411
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 6: that that was the level of people who were reaching

1412
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 6: out to people I hadn't heard from in years.

1413
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 3: Now.

1414
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 6: I've been through college and all of that, and he

1415
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 6: I hadn't talked to him since then, and he was expecting,

1416
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 6: you know, a trip to the super Bowl with the ticket.

1417
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. It's like, hey, remember that one time I

1418
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 2: gave you an hoh lator back in third grade. We

1419
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 2: have some tickets. It's like one of those.

1420
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 6: So you remember we was walking to my mom and

1421
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 6: I gave you a ride.

1422
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 2: School, right, see from salam joining us here on Fox

1423
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Football Saturday. So you know you brought up Elijah Pond,

1424
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 2: so you obviously have a little bit of a rooting interest,

1425
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 2: and it was a big story this week on a

1426
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 2: lot of Tom Brady's former Patriot teammates called him out

1427
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 2: saying that, you know, he should be rooting for us.

1428
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 2: He shouldn't say that he's neutral. You know, what are

1429
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 2: your thoughts on Tom Brady, who is now by the way,

1430
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 2: a broadcaster, now an owner, who's part of hiring the

1431
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 2: Seahawks offensive coordinator to be the new head coach of

1432
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 2: the Raiders, So he's probably conflicted when it comes to that,

1433
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: But just your thoughts on his former teammates being upset

1434
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 2: that he's not being a Patriot homer this week.

1435
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, See, that's the problem. Like most guys who retire

1436
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 6: like they don't understand the level of responsibility tom Brady has.

1437
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 6: Most guys retire and they go off and do whatever

1438
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 6: they want to do. And you know, whether you can

1439
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 6: be at a you know, a talking head on the

1440
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 6: radio or TV, or you going with your life tell

1441
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 6: Insurance or whatever. Tom Brady's still in the game as

1442
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 6: not only an owner, but as a colored commentator on air.

1443
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 6: So there's a level of bias. And it goes into

1444
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 6: that he's not doing the pregame show where they do

1445
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 6: their pick. He's actually calling games. So you can't call

1446
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 6: games and be by well, I you know, that should

1447
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 6: have been a flag, like you can't be up there

1448
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 6: doing that on fact. On top of the fact that,

1449
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 6: like you said, he did there, they are hiring Clint

1450
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 6: Kubiak right for that, the Raiders new head coach.

1451
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 2: Right, it can't be official, it's the latter the game

1452
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 2: is played, but all signs of point, right, But yeah.

1453
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 6: So yeah, he has a different rooting interest in what's

1454
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 6: going on. I don't have a problem with it. Guys

1455
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 6: in their feelings don't obviously have a lot on their plates,

1456
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 6: so yeah, they can still be fin like I'm not

1457
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 6: a fan of every team I played on. I don't

1458
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 6: root for every team I played on. Now, Tom Brady's

1459
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 6: a little bit different because he won, you know, six

1460
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 6: Super Bowls with New England. But you know, he's moved on.

1461
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 6: He's still in the business. He's part owner of a

1462
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 6: team in the business. Why would you drum up more

1463
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 6: conflict on top of conflict that he's already experienced this

1464
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 6: year about calling games but also being you know, talking

1465
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 6: to teams and figuring out what teams are doing, and

1466
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 6: then going and sitting in the owner's box at the Raiders,

1467
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 6: and you know, is there a misuse of information as

1468
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 6: an owner and as a color commentator, all of those

1469
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 6: types of things. Why create more of a story. So

1470
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 6: him saying I just want to see a good game,

1471
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 6: and you know, whoever win, the best team will win.

1472
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 6: I'm okay with that. Politically it's the right thing to say.

1473
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 6: And for his teammates to not agree with that, it's fine.

1474
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 6: He still has a statue out in New England, so

1475
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 6: it's fine. He's the only one up there, So that's

1476
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 6: fine to me. I don't have a problem with that

1477
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 6: at all.

1478
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 3: He ain't got to sweat it too much. His legacy

1479
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 3: will be in tax still you from what is the

1480
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: for New England winning the Super Bowl as everyone seems

1481
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 3: to be taking seattle here.

1482
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 6: They got to get pressure on Sam donald Say what

1483
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 6: you want. Sam Donalds had a tremendous year, a tremendous

1484
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 6: two years. Right. I think he's the only quarterback to

1485
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 6: ever win fourteen games back to back years with two

1486
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 6: different teams. So people waiting for the proverbial shoot to

1487
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 6: fall for Sam Donald They that weight is over. He's

1488
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 6: proven that he can play in big time games and

1489
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 6: make big time throws. And Jack and Smith and Jigba

1490
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 6: and him in that relationship with him is dynamic. It's

1491
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 6: one of the best in the league we have this year.

1492
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 6: And so in order for New England to have an

1493
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 6: opportunity in the chance in this game, they got to

1494
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 6: make them uncomfortable. They got to make them quote unquote

1495
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 6: see ghost and put pressure on him and get him

1496
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 6: off his spots and make him uncomfortable in the pocket.

1497
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 6: For me, that's the only I think, you know, them

1498
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 6: being able to run the ball and hold on to

1499
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 6: the ball. I know early on their running backs at

1500
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 6: Stevenson had been fumbling issues and all of that they

1501
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 6: can't turn the ball over. If they turned the ball over,

1502
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 6: they can't win this game. From a coach, they have

1503
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 6: to win, they have to win the turnover battle.

1504
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,759
Speaker 2: From a coaching standpoint, are you from how much emphasis

1505
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 2: or importance do you place on the fact that you know,

1506
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 2: Vrabels played the multiple Super Bowls One championships, Josh McDaniels

1507
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 2: has coached in multiple Super Bowls one championships, and the

1508
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 2: Seahawks staff is fairly inexperienced when it comes to that.

1509
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 2: Does that factor into how this game will play out

1510
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: at all in your mind?

1511
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 6: Well, I think in factors in the most in the

1512
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 6: second half. Those second half adjustments can win and lose

1513
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 6: you the game, whether you make the right ones or

1514
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 6: you don't make any that can win you the game.

1515
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 6: We've seen time and time again New England go in

1516
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 6: at halftime and come out, most notably, you know, against

1517
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 6: the Falcons in the Super Bowl and they were down

1518
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 6: you know what was it, twenty eight to three or

1519
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 6: something like that, and they came back and and won

1520
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 6: that game. It's because of those halftime adjustments and being

1521
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 6: there and having the experience of being there matters. It

1522
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 6: really does. Now Seattle. Can you know overcome that if

1523
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 6: they make the right adjustments at halftime. See the game

1524
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,560
Speaker 6: the way it's it, don't look at the game the

1525
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 6: way it has unfolded. Look at the game coming out

1526
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 6: of the second half as it can unfold, right, Like,

1527
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 6: what can they do to stop the success we've had

1528
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 6: in the first half? And you have to be ready

1529
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 6: to counter that.

1530
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 3: He from we saw yesterday in the NFL Award Show

1531
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 3: or whatever, Matthew Stafford's coming back after winning the MVP.

1532
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 3: The voting was as close as its Bens and Steve

1533
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 3: McNair and Peyton Manning back in the day. Did you

1534
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 3: agree with matt Stafford being the guy holding up the trophy?

1535
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Matthew. You know, I had the pleasure of

1536
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 6: playing with Matthew Stafford his rookie year, my one year

1537
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 6: in Detroit. But just right then, from an early early

1538
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 6: on as a rookie, Matthew Stafford, number one was the leader.

1539
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 6: But number two can throw the ball. I mean, he

1540
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 6: just was in purgatory for twelve years in Detroit before

1541
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 6: he got out of there and came and won a

1542
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 6: Super Bowl here, so well gets to see just how

1543
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 6: dynamical quarterback he is. You look at his numbers, He's

1544
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 6: a prolific thrower of the football, can make every throw,

1545
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 6: a tremendous leader. I think he had a phenomenal year

1546
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 6: and he deserved the MVP this year.

1547
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 2: Last one for you from talking about the Hall of

1548
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 2: Fame selection that was made during the award ceremony as well,

1549
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 2: did you have any issues with any of the guys

1550
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 2: that made it. I know there's some people who are

1551
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 2: saying like, well, if you're not gonna put Craft and

1552
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 2: you're not gonna put Belichick, can you put Brady in?

1553
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 2: Can you put Vinetari? What is your thought about the

1554
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame and how it affects specifically the Patriot

1555
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:50,799
Speaker 2: guys who are now all of a sudden becoming eligible.

1556
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 6: Well, I think I think it was a midstep on

1557
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 6: behalf of the Hall of Fame in terms of coach

1558
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 6: Belichick and then Robert Kraft not making it. They've shown

1559
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 6: they've shown the ability to exude excellence when it comes

1560
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:13,560
Speaker 6: to winning, when it comes to building a franchise and

1561
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 6: being ambassadors of the league. Now, of course you got

1562
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 6: Spygate and Deflaygates, which there are black marks on the

1563
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 6: team and ownership in that aspect, but you can't take

1564
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 6: away from what they've done and what they've meant to

1565
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 6: the league. Now, you can't not put Tom Brady in

1566
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 6: on the first ballot like that can't happen. They did

1567
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 6: something foolish a couple of years back with t O

1568
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 6: when he was up, and to make him wait the

1569
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 6: year was a gross dereliction of duty in terms of

1570
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 6: his numbers and being a prolific receiver and what he

1571
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 6: meant to the game of football. So you can't. I

1572
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 6: hope they got it all out of their system now

1573
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 6: with with Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick, because you can't

1574
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 6: do that. You cannot do that to Tom Brady when

1575
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:08,799
Speaker 6: he's eligible.

1576
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 3: He is He from Salam check him out after the

Speaker 3: I don't know about that.

1623
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,120

1624
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 2: but man just can't break through to actually winning games

1625
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,439

Speaker 2: Dude wipes best clean pants down.

1638
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 3: I know Raiders fans have needed some of those over

1639
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 3: the years watching this team. Max Crosby, what's the latest, Kevin,

1640
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 3: he wants out?

1641
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 10: Now?

1642
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 3: Who assaulting around it? Like Giannis and Dinna Kooma.

1643
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. So you have rumors and in

1644
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 2: the window that's been throwing out out there, and one

1645
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 2: of the best in the business, in our colleague, Jay

1646
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,760
Speaker 2: Glazer from Fox Sports, did an interview earlier this week

1647
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 2: where he and basically in no uncertain terms, said that

1648
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 2: Max Crosby wants out. He didn't say that yours, but

1649
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,799
Speaker 2: he basically alluded to the fact that Max Crosby is unhappy.

1650
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 2: The fact that the Raiders sat him down the last

1651
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 2: game of the regular season. Max was not happy about

1652
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 2: that was definitely reported on the record. We know that,

1653
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 2: and so now there are reports that he potentially wants

1654
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 2: to be traded from the Raiders. There's rumors that he

1655
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: might want to go to Detroit to play for Matt Campbell,

1656
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 2: or that he might want to go to the Patriots

1657
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 2: to play for Mike Vrabel and interestingly enough, and I

1658
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 2: don't know if this was pre planned or it came

1659
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 2: upon spontaneously, but Colin Kawer heard here on Fox Sports Radio,

1660
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 2: actually spoke with Max Crosby on Friday and brought up

1661
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 2: the prospect of Max potentially not wanting to be in

1662
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 2: Las Vegas anymore. And here is what Max had to say.

1663
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 10: It's like, Dan, if you do, Dan, if you don't,

1664
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 10: you know, for me, in the past, I've learned, you know,

1665
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 10: being too vocal and too involved with trying to make

1666
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 10: you know I want this coach or I want this

1667
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 10: like and nowadays, you know, especially like, I'm not talking

1668
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 10: about stuff.

1669
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 6: Like that because that's not my job.

1670
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 10: And I've been advised, Hey, I know you care, You're

1671
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 10: obsessed with about it. You want to win no matter what, like,

1672
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:11,799
Speaker 10: but some you can't control everything.

1673
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 6: And I've learned that. So now that I be quiet.

1674
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 10: Now now that I'm quiet, now I got random people

1675
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 10: making big statements for me, I know my truth. And

1676
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 10: when I go to bed at night, I have a

1677
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 10: smile on my face because I don't have to explain

1678
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 10: nothing to nobody. I'm getting healthy. I'm in the building

1679
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 10: every single day. If I'm in this building before six

1680
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 10: am and it's dark out, and I am in here

1681
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:34,640
Speaker 10: until almost two o'clock, almost eight hours, I'm putting in

1682
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 10: straight work, rehabbing, lifting, getting prepared for the next season.

1683
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,640
Speaker 10: Like that's all that I care about, So all the

1684
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 10: noise it's news to me. Sometimes I got up two

1685
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 10: days ago, I look at my phone and all of

1686
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 10: a sudden, now I got a bunch of PR people

1687
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 10: talking about what they you know, what Max is doing,

1688
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 10: And it's like, I just I just laugh because if

1689
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 10: I address it and then someone's going to pick apart

1690
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 10: what I say there, So it's a lose lose. I'm

1691
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 10: just going to keep doing what I'm doing. I'm getting

1692
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 10: healthy to be the best version of myself upcoming this year,

1693
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 10: and I'm gonna put myself in the best.

1694
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 6: Position to do that.

1695
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 3: Do you think he's characterizing the situation accurately there, Kevin,

1696
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 3: I wish you weren't a liar. No, I'm not saying that.

1697
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 2: I'm just asking in some senses, yes, but in other

1698
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 2: senses no, the facts yeah, Like, well, it's like people

1699
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 2: are speaking for me and things that I never said.

1700
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 2: It's possible that he never said or told anybody explicitly

1701
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 2: that he wants to trade from the Raiders and that

1702
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,600
Speaker 2: he wants to leave. He also never denied it in

1703
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 2: that clip with Colin Caihard either. Yes he's in the building.

1704
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 2: He was sitting in the Raider facility in between workouts,

1705
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 2: I believe when he was having that conversation with Colins.

1706
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: So yes, he's in the building. He's working out, which

1707
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 2: any player can do during the off season. That's not

1708
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:43,560
Speaker 2: a revelation whether you want to be there or not.

1709
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 2: So I think what people potentially want to hear is

1710
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: if you truly do want to be in Las Vegas,

1711
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 2: you can very This is like Johannis. You can easily

1712
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 2: say I don't want to be traded. I want to

1713
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 2: be here. I don't want to go anywhere else. This

1714
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 2: is where I started my career. I got a Raider

1715
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 2: tattoo for a reason. This is where I want to be.

1716
01:17:59,720 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 6: Now.

1717
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 2: I understand too, you back yourself into a corner if

1718
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 2: and when you do something like that, so you're putting

1719
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 2: yourself in a tough situation. But you know, he basically

1720
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 2: said a lot of nothing other than the fact that

1721
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop talking and stop running my mouth because

1722
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 2: people take things out of context. It's really hard to

1723
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 2: take out of context. If you say I want to

1724
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 2: be a Las Vegas Raider, I do not want to

1725
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 2: be traded.

1726
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 3: Is he above reproach?

1727
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 4: Like?

1728
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 3: Is he a guy that because he's such a hard worker,

1729
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 3: because he's their best player and has been for some

1730
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 3: time now, that fans would forgive him if he wanted out.

1731
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's kind of in the Giannis camp

1732
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 2: as a bit of a sympathetic figure for a lot

1733
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 2: of Raider fans. You feel like he embodies a Raider

1734
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 2: and he has the look, he has the attitude. He

1735
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 2: plays already as an under or he's an overachiever, all

1736
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 2: of that. But I do think now that you have,

1737
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 2: you know, the first overall pick, the team is basically

1738
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,640
Speaker 2: going to be toren down from his core and rebuilt up.

1739
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be at best a two year project

1740
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 2: in probably three years. So now you're potentially asking Max Crosby,

1741
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 2: who I believe is now twenty eight, to wait until

1742
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 2: his early thir early to mid thirties to try to

1743
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 2: actually be in a situation where you could turn things

1744
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 2: around and win. I don't think Raider fans, and I'll

1745
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 2: speak as a Raider fan myself, I wouldn't be upset

1746
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 2: if he said he wants to be traded and go

1747
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 2: somewhere where he can win. I would want to do

1748
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 2: that for him. You know, I've told you had times

1749
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 2: being an Angel fan and a fan of Mike Trout,

1750
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 2: how terrible I feel that they wasted so many of

1751
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 2: his prime years. But with the trash teams around him,

1752
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 2: I would love nothing more than for a Mike Trout,

1753
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 2: even if it's as in an ancillary role as a

1754
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 2: role player, to go somewhere we actually has a chance

1755
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 2: to play on a big stage and have a chance

1756
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 2: to win championships. I feel that exact same way about

1757
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Max Crosby, so I would not hope that against him.

1758
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 3: It's tough to blame anyone for wanting to leave the Raiders. Really,

1759
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 3: the Raiders shucked, Like, what was the best team he

1760
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,799
Speaker 3: was on? That wild card team.

1761
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 2: That team that lost to Cincinnati.

1762
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they beat the Chargers the final game of the season.

1763
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 3: There was some awkwardness to look like who was trying

1764
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 3: to win that game? They could have tied and both

1765
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 3: gotten in.

1766
01:19:58,080 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1767
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 3: I think Max Crosby, he is a badass out there.

1768
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 3: He is a wrecking ball, He is a raider. He

1769
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,640
Speaker 3: does have the look and feels like he should be

1770
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 3: there for a long time. But it's like, if you

1771
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 3: couldn't get right over the last five six years now

1772
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 3: and you're in this perpetual rebuild cycle, which they have been,

1773
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 3: and they're about to draft a young quarterback. Yeah, I'm

1774
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 3: not going to fault anybody for willing to get out

1775
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 3: of that situation. He's never going to see the promise land.

1776
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,839
Speaker 3: Most likely he has to go somewhere else.

1777
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 6: To do that.

1778
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 2: Now, as bleak as that sounds, and you're probably right,

1779
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 2: as much as I hate to admit it, you're right now,

1780
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 2: and this will be a mutually beneficial situation.

1781
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 6: I know.

1782
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 2: I Look, we debated back and forth about Michael Parsons

1783
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 2: and whether or not you trade somebody like that away.

1784
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 2: I would always rather have a bird in the hand

1785
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 2: when I know I have a great player like that

1786
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 2: and try to fortify around him. Look, the salary camp's

1787
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 2: going up by one hundred million dollars this next year,

1788
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 2: so it's like you won't be able to afford him.

1789
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 2: But if someone's running to knock your socks off, if

1790
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 2: you're the Rams and you have the number thirteenth and

1791
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 2: the number thirtieth pick, and you want to trade for

1792
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 2: mass Crosby. As a Raider fan, I'm not going to

1793
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 2: say no. Why the hell not? It helps kickstart three

1794
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 2: build even more.

1795
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 3: He's one of the best defenders in the league. He's

1796
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 3: not on your timeline for whenever the Raiders are going

1797
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 3: to be good again. It makes sense to send him

1798
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 3: someplace he can win. Now, speaking of trades, the NBA

1799
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 3: trade deadline just passed. Who are the winners and losers?

1800
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 3: This is fn A on FSR.

1801
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1802
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 2: That's right final hour of Fox Football Saturday. Here with

1803
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,400

Speaker 2: where you can find me on Twitter, slash x at

1805
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 2: follow Adam A is where you can find Adam. We

1806
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 2: will have our official Super Bowl picks coming up later

01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 2: this hour. For sure.

1808
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 3: Mine are still going to be unofficial.

1809
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 2: Unofficial. Okay, so we're not going to count this against

1810
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 2: the tally.

1811
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 3: All right, No, the tally you won. You won the

1812
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,560
Speaker 3: regular season. I don't know where we're at now in

1813
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 3: the postseason.

1814
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 2: I probably won that toofew Kevin.

1815
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm sick. I got the zoo flu and you're in

1816
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 3: your pilot all ridiculous the zoo flues.

1817
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of the zoo flu, I mean you bring it up.

1818
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 2: We got to talk some fn NBA foo before we

1819
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 2: dive back into the NFL. Right, yeah, pretty epic NBA

1820
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 2: trade deadline, uh this past week, and you are a

1821
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 2: mister NBA expert, mister clipper. But before we get to

1822
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 2: the Clipper moves, I do want to talk about the

1823
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 2: one they call mister Glass aka street clothes, Anthony Davis

1824
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 2: on the move to the Washington Wizards in a move

1825
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 2: that I think is actually mutually beneficial for both teams.

1826
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 2: I know Washington's gotten ripped a new one from a

1827
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 2: lot of people, but I don't hate it. And the

1828
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 2: reason why, if you're Washington and you've been this bad

1829
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 2: for this long, how long are you going to sit

1830
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 2: there and continue to be terrible and hope that you

1831
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 2: get the top overall pick in the draft or at

1832
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 2: a certain point in time and you just pull the

1833
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 2: trigger and say let's try it and see if something happens.

1834
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 2: You get Trey Young, who's hurt, who knows when he'll

1835
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: be back? You get Anthony Davis, who's hurt and according

1836
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 2: to Chris Haynes, he's not going to be back this year.

1837
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,760
Speaker 2: They called me, mister Glass. They traded to first round

1838
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 2: pick to the Dallas Mavericks, but one of those picks

1839
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,599
Speaker 2: was not their own in this June's draft. So if

1840
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 2: they're terrible, which they are, and it will be a

1841
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 2: lottery team, which they will be, they have a chance

1842
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: to potentially maybe get the top overall pick in the

1843
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 2: draft this year, which could be another asset that they

1844
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 2: could potentially trade away and turn themselves into contender. Is strong,

1845
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 2: but at least be a playoff team, which if you're Washington,

1846
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 2: if you're if you're if you're Washington, and you haven't

1847
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: sniffed the playoffs, and god knows how long, I literally

1848
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,560
Speaker 2: do not know. It has been ten years since have

1849
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 2: they made the playoffs since Gilbert Arenas was there on

1850
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 2: Karen Butler.

1851
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, because John Wall and Bradley Beal made the plays

1852
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 3: a few times.

1853
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 2: I was being slightly facetious, but I mean, sure enough,

1854
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 2: it's been it's been a pretty it's pretty long drought

1855
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 2: there for Washington. So you as the Washington Wizards, not

1856
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 2: a destination franchise free agents aren't gonna come there. Unfortunately,

1857
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 2: these are the kind of swings that you're gonna end

1858
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 2: up having to take.

1859
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 3: I get it, they got a good one in Alex Sar.

1860
01:23:56,720 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 3: They want guys to get real reps next to veterans

1861
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 3: who have some semblance of an offensive construct, so these

1862
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 3: guys can get better and develop next to guys who

1863
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,560
Speaker 3: have been there and done that to some degree in

1864
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,639
Speaker 3: Trey Young and Anthony Davis. I don't hate it because

1865
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 3: the two first round picks going to Dallas are going

1866
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 3: to be late first round picks, almost second round picks.

1867
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 3: One of them I think is okay C's pick. We're

1868
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 3: for the last pick in the first round. I just

1869
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 3: the impatience from the ownership group. I worry about stuff

1870
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,919
Speaker 3: like that because then you end up taking half measures,

1871
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 3: which only gets you so good, and then all of

1872
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 3: a sudden you're not bottoming out, but you're also not

1873
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 3: a contender and you get stuck in this place of

1874
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 3: mediocrity for years, and that's not the place to be

1875
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Now, that doesn't necessarily have to happen

1876
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 3: with the Washington Wizards, and they still get another bite

1877
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 3: at the apple in this lottery, which is deep. We

1878
01:24:56,640 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 3: know that I just don't trust. Look, Day Davis was

1879
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,719
Speaker 3: going to play sixty to sixty five games next season.

1880
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 2: If you can tell me that, give me fifty.

1881
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you could tell me that, I would sign

1882
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 3: up for this because he is actually the perfect guy

1883
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 3: to pair with Trey Young, because Trey Young is so

1884
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 3: bad with point of attack defense. AD can clean up

1885
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 3: a lot as your last line of defense near the basket.

1886
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,799
Speaker 3: Like I do like the pairing in theory.

1887
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,799
Speaker 2: Well, in that screen and role combination, I mean potentially

1888
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 2: could be devastating.

1889
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Ad he can be picking pop a little bit,

1890
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 3: but also rolls to the basket.

1891
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: It's just and by the way, this is AD on

1892
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 2: the back line, not to cut you off. With Alex Sar,

1893
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 2: I mean you have a twin tower to the defense

1894
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 2: right there.

1895
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 3: Alex Sars leading the league in blocks. I guess As

1896
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 3: has been that good and that is a great guy

1897
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 3: for him to learn from too. It's just how much

1898
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 3: is he going to be out there in the court,

1899
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 3: Like he's become a caricature of himself and everybody joking

1900
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 3: about him being straight close. Yeah, so that's pretty much real. Now,

1901
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 3: some of it with Dallas. You want are they really

1902
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 3: trying to win?

1903
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: They're not.

1904
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,599
Speaker 3: They want to get back into the draft and get

1905
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 3: another high draft pick because I think they don't have

1906
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 3: their own the next two years. This is the last

1907
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 3: season they have their own for a little bit. But

1908
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis, I've said this before with Blake Griffin back

1909
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:20,640
Speaker 3: in the day, Guys who were perpetually injured when they

1910
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 3: were younger don't magically become healthier as they age. They

1911
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 3: become even more likely to have injuries and injury concerns

1912
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 3: pop up all over the place. We're talking about a

1913
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 3: guy in his prime that was brittle and Anthony Davis,

1914
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 3: same with Blake Griffin.

1915
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 2: Well, one thing I'll say from the Washington standpoint, it's

1916
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 2: not like it sets you back that much. So you've

1917
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 2: been terrible for the last couple of years. Anthony Davis

1918
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 2: is on the hook for two more years after this.

1919
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 2: He has one guarantee year and then a player option

1920
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 2: for sixty two million dollars, which I can almost guarantee

1921
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 2: he's going to pick up because he ain't sniffing that

1922
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 2: on the free agent market.

1923
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 3: Do you have some breaking news Anthony Davis just opted

1924
01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 3: in I guarantee, you might as well say that.

1925
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 2: So you go on the next season and see what

1926
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 2: happens with him and Trey Young c how it plays out.

1927
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 2: Maybe they play well, maybe they don't. If they don't

1928
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 2: and it's not working and Anthony Davis is hurt, you

1929
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 2: have a sixty two million dollar expiring contract that you

1930
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 2: can dump off on somebody, and you can get more assets,

1931
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 2: younger players, whatever it is, and then still kickstart or rebuild.

1932
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 2: So I think you're kind of you mentioned kind of

1933
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 2: half measures. I think they're kind of positioning themselves in

1934
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 2: a pretty solid spot. Let's see if it works. If

1935
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 2: it does, we'll continue this thing. If it doesn't, we

1936
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 2: can very easily get out of this. Trey Young has

1937
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 2: a player option, so he's gonna be on a one

1938
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 2: year deal and going into next year, I think you're

1939
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 2: basically gonna have Anthony Davis a one guarantee year and

1940
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 2: you can trade his contract the following offseason. So I

1941
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 2: really don't see a whole lot of downside here for

1942
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:42,679
Speaker 2: a franchise like Washington.

1943
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 3: Michael Winger, who was underneath Lawrence Frank with the Clippers

1944
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 3: as their president of basketball Operations and he's a smart guy.

1945
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 3: He originally as was with Sam Presty with Oklahoma City

1946
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 3: before that. So I do think there's a lot of

1947
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 3: logic in rationale. I don't hate these moves. I just

1948
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 3: worry what it could say about ownership and where things

1949
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 3: could move from there if they just continue to be

1950
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 3: impatient like this. This there's plenty of rationale, there's plenty

1951
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 3: of logic. I don't hate it. I think it could

1952
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 3: end up working out for them where they're playing team

1953
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 3: next season. Health defending, that's just I just.

1954
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 2: Especially with those two guys, two of the more i'd

1955
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 2: say frail players in the league the last decade.

1956
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 3: Prety Young's like twenty seven, and now he's banged up

1957
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 3: all the time too.

1958
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 2: He has the body of a forty seven year old.

1959
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I and he's small in stature and a lot

1960
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 3: of the shooting numbers are starting to fall off with him.

1961
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 3: Like he looks like one of those guys that just

1962
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 3: doesn't have a long sustained career in the NBA, and

1963
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:44,680
Speaker 3: his prime came very early on.

1964
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 2: Well, thankfully he signed his extension when he did because

1965
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 2: he got paid because he might not have sniffed another

1966
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 2: contract that closed Another thing that to me and his money,

1967
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 2: that did something similar to Washington was the Utah Jazz,

1968
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 2: also getting ready to have a lot of repick this year,

1969
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 2: but they swing a giant movie and bring in Triple J.

1970
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 2: Jaron Jackson Junior. Look, you'll have that lottery pick that

1971
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 2: you can either use or trade. You can sign and

1972
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 2: trade or potentially keep Walker Kesler. Now, I don't know

1973
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 2: how this is going to work between them having Kessler

1974
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 2: and Triple J, you know, and marketing all at the

1975
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 2: same time, which tells me they're looking to move on

1976
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:19,839
Speaker 2: from one of them. Kessler's going to be a restricted

1977
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 2: free agent, so they could keep him, or like I said,

1978
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 2: they can sign and trade him and get more assets

1979
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 2: and try to beef up with more veterans to see

1980
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:28,719
Speaker 2: if they can make a run at it. County George

1981
01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 2: looks like a perennial All Star in the making, So

1982
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 2: they similar to Washington, although they're younger. I think I'll

1983
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,679
Speaker 2: feel better about their upside than I do about Washington's.

1984
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Right now, they feel like now was the time for

1985
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 2: them to go at it. I'm not a fan of

1986
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 2: Triple J's contract, but I understand why they made the move.

1987
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 2: When they did.

1988
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much crossover and similarities between him and Marketing.

1989
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,559
Speaker 3: You wonder is that an asset. Is that a strength

1990
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,440
Speaker 3: or is it a weakness because they are really versatile

1991
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 3: bigs and they can make up for what each other

1992
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 3: do out there on the floor, and it keeps more

1993
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 3: continuity between lineups and rotations if you always have one

1994
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 3: of them out there. Everybody knows how those two guys

1995
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 3: play and they're so similar. But Walker Kessler, to me,

1996
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 3: that's the one I would be looking to hold on

1997
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 3: to because it's going to cost you less. Marketing and

1998
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 3: Triple J are basically on the same type of deals,

1999
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 3: and Marketing's making forty six million this year and he's

2000
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 3: signed through the twenty eight twenty nine season. Walker Kessler,

2001
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 3: you should be able to get for maybe like twenty

2002
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 3: five million per year.

2003
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 2: And I think how much it can make is capped,

2004
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 2: I believe right because of his agent service time. You

2005
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 2: can't give him a fifty million dollar per contract even

2006
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 2: if you want it one.

2007
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:46,640
Speaker 3: You wonder how serious the shoulder injury or was this

2008
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:49,680
Speaker 3: season or if it was just well, we're not going

2009
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 3: to even try to bring him back because we're still

2010
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,639
Speaker 3: trying to lose this year because their pick is top

2011
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 3: eight protected. If it falls out of the top eight,

2012
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 3: I believe it goes to Oklahoma City, so they have

2013
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,919
Speaker 3: an an incentive to lose, to continue to lose. Cayantay

2014
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 3: George was bawling at a rate that it looked like

2015
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 3: he was an All star, Like he is that good,

2016
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,799
Speaker 3: like a top fifteen, top twenty type of player this season,

2017
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 3: too good for this team. All of a sudden, he's hurt.

2018
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:18,599
Speaker 3: And we saw this stuff last year with Utah where

2019
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 3: they ended up getting fined by the NBA for injury

2020
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 3: report nebulous stuff where guys were out for far too

2021
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 3: long and it looked like they were just intentionally tanking.

2022
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 3: But Ace Bailey was their draft pick. This season, they

2023
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 3: won another bite at the Apple, getting into the lottery again.

2024
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 3: I would try to move Marketing if I was them.

2025
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, something's got to give. They're not keeping all three

2026
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 2: of those guys at the cap numbers are all gonna command.

2027
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 2: That's not happening.

2028
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna be on the move. It doesn't seem sustainable.

2029
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 3: I like Triple J and his upside a little bit

2030
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 3: higher than Marketing because of his defense at the rim.

2031
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean he won Defensive Player of the Year. Some

2032
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 3: people thought that that was you know, and that's should

2033
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 3: have gone to Avin Mobley. Talk to our guy, Bob Schmidt,

2034
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 3: right uh.

2035
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 2: And I feel like his defensive his defensive effective. This

2036
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 2: has gone down a little bit the last couple of seasons.

2037
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:10,519
Speaker 3: It has, and he hasn't looked like maybe he won't

2038
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 3: ever reach his ceiling. But his ceiling is still a

2039
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 3: little bit higher than Marketing's in he's a little bit

2040
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:16,280
Speaker 3: younger than Marketing, And.

2041
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,679
Speaker 2: I think playing next to Kesler is a perfect type

2042
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 2: of type of center for him to play next to.

2043
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Triple J being the stretch big can play

2044
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,599
Speaker 3: next to a guy like Kesler who has a little

2045
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 3: bit of range himself out there. But I just think

2046
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,560
Speaker 3: of cost control assets, and if you can hold on

2047
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 3: to Walker Kessler on a cheaper deal and have him

2048
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 3: as your defensive anchor for the next ten seasons, that's

2049
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 3: the way I would I would handle this. But teams

2050
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 3: are gonna come calling.

2051
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 2: They did.

2052
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,719
Speaker 3: The Pacers did that before they pivoted to a Visa Zubats.

2053
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:45,560
Speaker 3: They were trying to see what they could give for

2054
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 3: Walker Kessler because it's not like Indiana's trying to win

2055
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 3: this season anyway, so bringing in a guy who's on

2056
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 3: the IR doesn't matter to them.

2057
01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2058
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:54,360
Speaker 2: For for Utah, it's like, I think you basically who

2059
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,639
Speaker 2: gives you the best the best offer? So if Walker

2060
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:58,639
Speaker 2: Kesler is probably going to get you a better return

2061
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,760
Speaker 2: than Marketing. Not that Marketing is a good player, but

2062
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 2: you know, Kessler's younger, So who's gonna give me the

2063
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:05,680
Speaker 2: best offer for one of these guys? And that's how

2064
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna end up moving forward. So you mentioned the

2065
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers, and this is where we get into your

2066
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 2: clipper territory and your zoo flew.

2067
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:15,439
Speaker 3: I got it, I got it bad. My head's hurting,

2068
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 3: I got the shakes.

2069
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 2: Look by the way I understand the it's even more

2070
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 2: than just sentimental from a production standpoint. He's one of

2071
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:24,600
Speaker 2: the more underrated big men in the entire league. So

2072
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:26,839
Speaker 2: it's not like this is just like a fan favorite

2073
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 2: who everybody loves off. But this ain't Mark Mattson waving

2074
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 2: a towel on the sideline or disrespect to Mark, you

2075
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,600
Speaker 2: know what I mean. But you could have gotten a

2076
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 2: lot worse return than you did from Indiana for trading

2077
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 2: away someone as good as Zoo.

2078
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean they cleaned up pretty pretty nicely,

2079
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 3: especially if they end up the interesting first round pick

2080
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 3: they got to They got Benedict Mathern from Indiana for him,

2081
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 3: but they could potentially get the fifth pick in the

2082
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,760
Speaker 3: draft this season from Indiana. It's protected one through four

2083
01:33:58,000 --> 01:33:59,240
Speaker 3: and then ten through thirty.

2084
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 2: I've never seen a protection like that before.

2085
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 3: By the way, I think the Clippers intentionally asked for

2086
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 3: that ten through thirty. So therefore, if it doesn't finish

2087
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,959
Speaker 3: five through nine and it ends up going to Indiana,

2088
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 3: the Clippers still get a first round pick from them

2089
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 3: down the line, twenty thirty one, maybe when they're really bad.

2090
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 3: Who knows how they're going to be, you know, five

2091
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 3: six years from now. So I'd rather have that than

2092
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 3: it bumps to next season's pick from Indiana because they're

2093
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 3: probably going to be really good. Haliburton will be back,

2094
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 3: they'll have a Visa Zubos, they're going to make another

2095
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 3: run at it in the Eastern Conference. But getting that

2096
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 3: opportunity to get into this draft if it falls five

2097
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 3: through nine, would be huge for this Clippers team.

2098
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:43,320
Speaker 2: So you're being very smart, you're kind of crossing your

2099
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 2: figures and hope you have the stat the other day.

2100
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 2: What are the odds of them potentially getting that that pick?

2101
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 3: It's forty eight percent is the chance that the Clippers

2102
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 3: end up with you.

2103
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 2: You're knocking on the doors of fifty to fifty here,

2104
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 2: So I mean.

2105
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,560
Speaker 3: It's a coin flip. There's a good opportunity now. Indiana

2106
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 3: is probably going to continue to lose here. Viata Zoobots

2107
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 3: is currently out with an ankle is issue and he

2108
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 3: did have it with.

2109
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 2: The Gonna says, show up with a mystery injury on

2110
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:08,240
Speaker 2: the injury report.

2111
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 3: They have had some guys out. They are more so

2112
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 3: than ever U incentivized to take a little bit. So

2113
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna say, don't end up with that pick.

2114
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 2: I know his wife just had a kid. They're gonna say,

2115
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,679
Speaker 2: Zoo's on maternity leave, not paternity leaves. Oh he can't

2116
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 2: walk a man, he's still recovering, you know what I mean.

2117
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 2: Take as much time as you need there, brother.

2118
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,519
Speaker 3: I'm I'm kind of heartbroken over this, though in a

2119
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 3: way that I didn't think was still possible because I'm

2120
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 3: too old for this. S Visa Zoobots is the first

2121
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:36,840
Speaker 3: guy in a long time. That left one of my

2122
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 3: teams where I feel like this is a changing of

2123
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 3: the guard, a new era. It will never be the

2124
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 3: same again. When was the last time I think Steve

2125
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 3: Smith leaving the Panthers and going to the Ravens.

2126
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 2: Steve Smith will tell you don't cry.

2127
01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 3: I know he he called me a bee because there's

2128
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 3: something like that. Tough enough, but I can't help myself

2129
01:35:57,240 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 3: with the Visa Zubos and a lot of Clippers fans

2130
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 3: feel the same way. He was the longest tenured Clipper.

2131
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,680
Speaker 3: He had been there for seven years. Even though he

2132
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 3: started off as a Laker, it felt like he was

2133
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 3: a Clipper. It felt like he was, you know, raised

2134
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 3: as a Clipper with this team because the way they

2135
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:14,680
Speaker 3: just fleece the Lakers in that train with Mike Muscala.

2136
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 3: I even saw this. I just got a notice from

2137
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 3: this guy, Big Guppy, and I don't know if this

2138
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 3: is a joke or not, but it says it's a

2139
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 3: digital flyer that he sent on Twitter to a bunch

2140
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 3: of people that says Saturday, February seventh, at seven point

2141
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:35,920
Speaker 3: thirty at into a dome. Posters and flowers are highly

2142
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 3: suggested in Loving Memory of a viza Zoobots La Clippers

2143
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen to twenty twenty six, like they're going to

2144
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 3: have a candlelight vigital in head. Well, it does say that.

2145
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 3: In the digital pamphlet it said he is not dead,

2146
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 3: even though it feels like it. This is just to

2147
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:55,599
Speaker 3: show our appreciation for Big Zoo. Are people really going

2148
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:58,720
Speaker 3: to line up outside of into a dome at night

2149
01:36:59,520 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 3: a little bit?

2150
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 2: Let's put it this way. If they are, I know

2151
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 2: who's gonna be the first person there. Adam Austlin.

2152
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 3: All yeah, I'm gonna have a big candle light in

2153
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:12,680
Speaker 3: that thing. I love Big Zoo. It's rare for me

2154
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 3: to get like this about any player. I think it's

2155
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:17,599
Speaker 3: been at least ten years or so, but he's won.

2156
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:19,440
Speaker 3: But I also understand the trade.

2157
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 2: So there's not going to be a vigil I'm guessing

2158
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 2: for James Harden outside of into a dome. No, I'm

2159
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 2: not want to move to Cleveland.

2160
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 3: I respect James and I think a lot of people

2161
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,640
Speaker 3: turned around on how they felt on him when he

2162
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 3: first came to the Clippers, and he won them over

2163
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 3: because he played really well. He was available, he was durable,

2164
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 3: played through injuries, a ton like he laid it all

2165
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 3: out there as a clipper, nobody should have any issue

2166
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 3: with him, and you got Darius Garland for him, so

2167
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 3: I think they made out like bandits. Honestly, if you

2168
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:52,680
Speaker 3: had to lose James Harden of East Zoobots, which seemed like,

2169
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 3: you know, a pretty much a long shot a week ago,

2170
01:37:56,439 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 3: you end up with Darius Garland, Benedict Mathern, two first

2171
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 3: round picks, and a second round pick. I think he

2172
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 3: did pretty well. That's a whole yeah.

2173
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not like you're totally, you know,

2174
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 2: bottoming out and being a terrible team, like you still

2175
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 2: have Kawhi Leonard, Like you're still talented enough to be

2176
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 2: competitive on many nights, I'll put it that way.

2177
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 3: The doves on this of Eats Zoobots digital flyer that

2178
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:23,280
Speaker 3: I'm seeing right now, Kevin, like, I'm gonna at you

2179
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 3: in this just so you can see what the hell

2180
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 3: I'm looking at.

2181
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 8: Any did you guys do this for Norm Powell?

2182
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 2: Because I feel like this was there a vigil for

2183
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 2: Norm pal too.

2184
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:31,599
Speaker 8: I just feel like there should have been.

2185
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 3: We do love normOn Powell, but they ended up getting

2186
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:36,840
Speaker 3: John Collins, who everyone in Clipper Nation wanted for so

2187
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,320
Speaker 3: long that it lessened the blow. But I do still

2188
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 3: love normOn Powell.

2189
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,640
Speaker 2: Do they love John Collinson as much as they did

2190
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 2: and then as they do now?

2191
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 3: Well, he started off so slow. Immediately people are like,

2192
01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:49,640
Speaker 3: we should never should have done this. normOn pal is

2193
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 3: gonna be an All Star. Yeah, there was a little bit,

2194
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 3: but the last six weeks and this Clippers turnaround where

2195
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 3: they're eighteen and six their last twenty four games. John

2196
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 3: Collins has been spectacular now, so he's living up to

2197
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:03,720
Speaker 3: the contract and he's an a restricted free agent at

2198
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 3: the end of this season.

2199
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of Harden to Cleveland. It's a little bit

2200
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 2: of an awkward fit with him and Donovan Mitchell, but

2201
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:11,679
Speaker 2: I certainly understand why you make the move, considering Darius

2202
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 2: Garland just isn't available, and when he has been available,

2203
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 2: at least in the postseason, granted a small sample size,

2204
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 2: he doesn't necessarily played well. Now Harden hasn't played well

2205
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,559
Speaker 2: in the postseason either, but a lot of the burden

2206
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 2: is not necessarily going to follow on him at this

2207
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 2: point in time to have to be the number one guy.

2208
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,560
Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see what the dynamic between he

2209
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,639
Speaker 2: and Donovan Mitchell, who reportedly are onto this giant recoupment

2210
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 2: push for Lebron James next season. How this all ends

2211
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 2: up playing out, I think.

2212
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 3: That's gonna happen. I think that's real. I think Lebron

2213
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:40,960
Speaker 3: is going to finish off his career in Cleveland. I

2214
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:44,600
Speaker 3: mean that's not some new notion or something groundbreaking, but

2215
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 3: I think it's very possible. And you're right, because they're

2216
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 3: both so IYO heavy, it's going to be some my turn,

2217
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 3: your turn. But it's not like Kawhi and James Harden

2218
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 3: didn't do some of that either. They were able to.

2219
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 3: And if Donovan Mitchell was push for this and he's

2220
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 3: like extension eligible and he could be a free agent

2221
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty seven for Cleveland, well they got to

2222
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:08,559
Speaker 3: make him happy. If he wants James Harden, he bring

2223
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 3: him in.

2224
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2225
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So look, what do you have to lose for Cleveland.

2226
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 2: You know, you lose Darius Garland who has been available

2227
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 2: and is making a lot of money, and James Harden.

2228
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,200
Speaker 2: You have the right to potentially extend them or not

2229
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,479
Speaker 2: extend them. See how this run goes this year and

2230
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 2: potentially next year, Well, the only.

2231
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 3: Thing I'd say that's risky, and there's risks on both sides.

2232
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 3: The Clippers bringing in a guy who has had injury issues,

2233
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 3: is it could shorten Cleveland's overall window because Darius Garland's

2234
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 3: ten years younger than James Harden.

2235
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 2: But I like it.

2236
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 6: I like it.

2237
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:41,719
Speaker 3: I think it works for both sides. I'll be rooting

2238
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:43,840
Speaker 3: for James Harden and Cleveland, and I'm happy to see

2239
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:46,400
Speaker 3: Darius Garland be a Clipper because if he can stay healthy,

2240
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:50,560
Speaker 3: they're in real good shape with reloading, retooling, staying competitive

2241
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 3: now while they still don't have a lot of their

2242
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 3: picks winning games. And then also they can look towards

2243
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 3: the future with some of these young guys.

2244
01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:58,719
Speaker 2: Have you ever wiped with a piece of dry toilet

2245
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 2: paper and wondered, is this as good as it gets?

2246
01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 2: It's not switched to life changing wet extra large fleshable

2247
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 2: dudewipes because weder just cleans better. Available at Amazon and

2248
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:13,720
Speaker 2: at major retailers nationwide. Dudewipes best clean pants down. So

2249
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 2: controversy surrounding some hires around the NFL. Head coaching hires

2250
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 2: ten available jobs in this cycle, yet only one minority

2251
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 2: was hired. Why is that and is it a symptom

2252
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,800
Speaker 2: of a larger problem. We'll talk about that coming up next.

Speaker 1: Give me she can sell frost.

2289
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 2: We were talking though about wings and like Wingstop by far,

2290
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 2: by far the best I'm really.

2291
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 8: Late to the Wingstop party is it is I hate

2292

2295
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:33,280

2296
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 3: back Hooters wings me? Because Kevin and I, you know,

2297
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,640
Speaker 3: back in the day, I know it's like saying I just,

2298
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 3: you know, got the Playboy for the articles. But no, really,

2299
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 3: really their wings were good.

2300
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 2: They actually were very solid back.

2301
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 6: In the day.

2302
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 8: Okay, the sauce is really good. They still sell the sauce.

2303
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 3: We talked about this, it's still the sauce. What was

2304
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:56,679
Speaker 3: which sauce?

2305
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

2306
01:43:57,479 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 3: You have to be more special?

2307
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:00,719
Speaker 8: I think it's like the Buffalo medium?

2308
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 2: And where do they sell it? Because I mean most

2309
01:44:03,320 --> 01:44:04,559
Speaker 2: of the Hooters are closed now.

2310
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 8: Right, it's on Amazon. I think my dad gets it,

2311
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 8: but like, definitely shut one down. I think there's one

2312
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 8: in Long Beach.

2313
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:15,719
Speaker 2: There is, there's one in Long Beach.

2314
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 3: Hotel, right, Hooters Hotel that's gone.

2315
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I knew that was leaving, but I was still.

2316
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:23,640
Speaker 10: There or not?

2317
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:28,360
Speaker 3: R ip So next to the Buddy Ranch. Wasn't there

2318
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 3: a Hooters on Figaroa. Wasn't it were one by the

2319
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 3: Staples Center back in the day?

2320
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be Yeah, that that one closed

2321
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:38,000
Speaker 2: years ago. That whole complex got destroyed and re demolished

2322
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 2: and re remodeled, so there's not even vestiges of that

2323
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 2: Hooters anymore.

2324
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 3: Here's why their wings were really good, and it's not

2325
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,679
Speaker 3: about what you think, okay, it isn't get your mind

2326
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,960
Speaker 3: out of the gutter. Hello, beautiful. They would give you

2327
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 3: not deep fried nuggets, boneless wings. They did deep fried

2328
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 3: traditional bone in wings that were deep fried on the outside,

2329
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 3: so it was like fried chicken, but with different sauces

2330
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 3: and stuff. It was amazing.

2331
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,720
Speaker 2: It was very good, Adam. And I would go every what,

2332
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what day of the week it was,

2333
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:11,280
Speaker 2: but they would have like bottomless wings or something like

2334
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 2: that Wednesdays Wednesdays and we go in and watch an

2335
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:17,360
Speaker 2: NBA doubleheader and just you know, and just post up

2336
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 2: for a while.

2337
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 6: Now.

2338
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:21,479
Speaker 3: Maybe I also used to drink back then, and so

2339
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 3: Matt is one of the contributing reasons to their wings

2340
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:26,679
Speaker 3: tasting much better than anything.

2341
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 2: Maybe Michael Phelpson swim a little bit. Maybe it's like

2342
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:35,800
Speaker 2: not be modest here, Adam, both of us, both of

2343
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 2: us could put it down back in the day.

2344
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 6: You know.

2345
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to get some long islands there. They

2346
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:46,200
Speaker 3: were cheap and they didn't skip, did no, Maybe a

2347
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 3: little too strong? All right, how the hell are you

2348
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:50,719
Speaker 3: going to transition it to this subject?

2349
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 10: Vin?

2350
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 8: Oh, you heard me out for eating wings. Actually, both

2351
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:54,920
Speaker 8: of you.

2352
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 2: I didn't hear you out. I gave you credit. I said,

2353
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 2: I was jealous. I'll be right there with you. Well,

2354
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:00,760
Speaker 2: it depends on flavory reading.

2355
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 8: I got buffalo and Korean barbecue.

2356
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:06,719
Speaker 3: I'm on day quill dangerous amounts and can't be trusted

2357
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:08,639
Speaker 3: with what comes out of my mouth right now? Okay,

2358
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 3: so I can say what I want, bray, Okay.

2359
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:15,679
Speaker 2: There are ten head coaching openings in the NFL during

2360
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 2: this coaching cycle and only one minority hier. That was

2361
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 2: Robert Salah going to the Tennessee Titan. So of course

2362
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 2: that has a lot of people up in arms, saying like, well,

2363
01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 2: we have all these diversity programs and transitioning programs and

2364
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:31,240
Speaker 2: you're trying to link up assistant coaches or prospective coaches

2365
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 2: with executives and owners, and what do we have to

2366
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 2: show for it? Literally? Nothing? Literally nothing, is what they're saying. Nothing.

2367
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 2: Say it again, what I mean the way I look

2368
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 2: at it, Adam, I was like, is it a problem?

2369
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 6: Yes?

2370
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 2: But is it because the owners are racists and trying

2371
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 2: to hold the black man down? I don't think so,

2372
01:46:49,280 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 2: does you? Said?

2373
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 3: Double yes?

2374
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:54,479
Speaker 2: I was like thousand percent, But I do think what

2375
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 2: it stems from and so like, what direction is the

2376
01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 2: league going in? And we've talked about this, the CEO

2377
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 2: versus you know, who you hire as far as there's

2378
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 2: a specialty on one side of the ball. You have

2379
01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 2: some defensive coaches. We have two defensive head coaches in

2380
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:09,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl right now. But the higher du jour

2381
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 2: over the past few years has been the young hot

2382
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 2: shot offensive mind, offensive coordinator, offensive play caller. Well, how

2383
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 2: many black offensive play callers, offensive coordinator's, quarterback coaches are there?

2384
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:21,960
Speaker 6: No?

2385
01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 3: At least one I could qui And this guy apparently

2386
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 3: hasn't interviewed.

2387
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Eric the enemy. Yeah, he's the only one.

2388
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:32,200
Speaker 2: And he wasn't even a play caller, by the way,

2389
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:33,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't a play caller with Andy Reid when he

2390
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 2: was in Kansas City before he was the OC. But

2391
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 2: Andy called the place. So that's you know, and whatether

2392
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 2: it matters now? He did get head coaching interviews, many

2393
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,600
Speaker 2: of them, but obviously nothing ever came of it.

2394
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 3: So Andy Reid, you're telling me was not holding a

2395
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:50,600
Speaker 3: menu for Daddy's. That was an actual I'll tell you

2396
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 3: that's a low blow.

2397
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 2: I do like after Kansas City, I think is when

2398
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 2: they won their first Super Bowl and Peter King was

2399
01:47:57,320 --> 01:47:58,600
Speaker 2: the interviewing him. He was like, what it was the

2400
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 2: first thing he did after the game, Andy re said

2401
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 2: he wouldn't got a couple of cheeseburgers. Like love, Andy Reid,

2402
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 2: I love? That was just that was that, you know what?

2403
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 3: That was a stupid joke that a lot of people

2404
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 3: have made over the years. He's holding the menu there.

2405
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 3: Whatever works come on.

2406
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,080
Speaker 2: So I think the problem is more than anything. It's

2407
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:21,320
Speaker 2: not about because owners are the formulas kind of in place.

2408
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,519
Speaker 2: You know, you have these search committees. These guys are

2409
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 2: attached to certain coordinators. You have a certain look or

2410
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 2: a certain vibe that you're that you want your head coach,

2411
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 2: and a certain skill set and the skill set du

2412
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 2: jure is the young, hotshot offensive offensive mind. And I

2413
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 2: look at us. I looked. I use Sean McVay as

2414
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,559
Speaker 2: a perfect example. People talk about these coaching trees. Look

2415
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 2: at Sean McVay and look at all of the offensive

2416
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 2: assistants who have gotten jobs, Zach Taylor, both of the

2417
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 2: Lafleur brothers now, Kevin O'Connell, Liam Cohen and by the way,

2418
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 2: take a wild guest, now that Matt Lafloor has taken

2419
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 2: the job of Mike Lafloor is taking the job at Arizona.

2420
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 2: Take a wild swing as who the new offensive coordinator

2421
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 2: forms for the Rams is likely to be. Kingsbury, another

2422
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 2: one on mcvay's boys from back in the day.

2423
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:05,360
Speaker 3: So you're saying mcveigh's the one who's racist.

2424
01:49:05,479 --> 01:49:08,759
Speaker 2: I'm not saying mcvay's racist, but it is very insular.

2425
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 2: You have people who come from certain backgrounds, with certain

2426
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 2: schools of fought and people are kind of unwilling to

2427
01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 2: kind of rock the boat and bring in new and

2428
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 2: different ideas. And by the way, this goes to Andy Reid,

2429
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people were saying, why would you bring

2430
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 2: back Eric Bienemy when your offense has been so stale

2431
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Maybe you're bringing somebody from

2432
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 2: outside the family, just to shake things up a little bit,

2433
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 2: a little bit more, get some fresh eyes on it,

2434
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 2: get some fresh eyes.

2435
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2436
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 2: So it's it happens to a lot of these guys

2437
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 2: because and what ends up happening is you fall back

2438
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:38,439
Speaker 2: on the guys that you're friends with, of the guys

2439
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 2: that you feel most comfortable with, and that's a little

2440
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:43,880
Speaker 2: bit of an issue. So I think that's the issue

2441
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:45,519
Speaker 2: that we're running into more than anything else.

2442
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:50,240
Speaker 3: So you think, is it safe to say there could

2443
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 3: be a problem. But it's not as simple as just

2444
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 3: they have to hire more African American head coaches.

2445
01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 2: Like this start pipeline.

2446
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, this starts with the lower levels because those are

2447
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:03,839
Speaker 3: the guys that are working their way up and eventually

2448
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 3: getting hired, and they tend to be on the offensive

2449
01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 3: coordinator side.

2450
01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look there's you look at some of the

2451
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:12,040
Speaker 2: past you know, blackhad coaches. The great majority of them

2452
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:15,559
Speaker 2: and I mean like eighty plus percent have been defensive minded.

2453
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 2: I mean you go back to Jim Calwell, offensive minded

2454
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:20,639
Speaker 2: head coach, who, by the way, was successful. He took

2455
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 2: the Colts to the Super Bowl. People forget that.

2456
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that was the day a perfect season.

2457
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:26,760
Speaker 2: They almost had the perfect season, and they rested their

2458
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:28,560
Speaker 2: guys and got you know, but they got to the

2459
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. That was the Tracy Porter breed, you know, championship.

2460
01:50:31,640 --> 01:50:32,719
Speaker 2: Congratulations to your Saints.

2461
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:34,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, wait a second, they didn't lose that super Bowl.

2462
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 3: That super Bowl win doesn't even count. That was bounty gate.

2463
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:42,640
Speaker 2: Let it go, all right, whatever you say Elsa. But

2464
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 2: we so we go from Jim Callwell then who went

2465
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 2: to Detroit by the way and has success there, ends

2466
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,720
Speaker 2: up getting fired because Peyton Manning's arm, you know, or

2467
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 2: ends up getting fired there, and there's a playoff game

2468
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 2: they should have won. The old controversy around the flag

2469
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 2: that was thrown against Dallas and it was picked up mysteriously.

2470
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 2: That was Jim Caldwells Detroit Lions, I believe so, and

2471
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 2: never got really a fair shot after that. Dennis Green

2472
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 2: did great with the Minnesota Vikings, got a second shot

2473
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,799
Speaker 2: with Arizona that one didn't go so well. And Anthony

2474
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 2: Lynt I thought, did a solid job with the Chargers

2475
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:15,560
Speaker 2: and because of like has affected every Charger coach the

2476
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 2: last twenty years, injuries and bad luck is the reason

2477
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 2: why he lost his job.

2478
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a common denominator there. The Chargers are actually cursed,

2479
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 3: like They're the one team that you can make that

2480
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 3: statement and I'm not even going to question it.

2481
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:31,200
Speaker 2: So, I mean, so's there's not been There have been

2482
01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 2: some opportunities, but there has not just been a lot

2483
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 2: of opportunities for the very few black offensive minded assistants

2484
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:40,479
Speaker 2: that there have been Byron Leftwich, I believe interviewed for

2485
01:51:40,720 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 2: the Buck's head coaching job or a head coaching job

2486
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 2: at one point, fell out of favor with that, and

2487
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's in the league as

2488
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 2: an assistant anymore.

2489
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:50,960
Speaker 3: At this some we're saying, how does Philip Rivers get

2490
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 3: an interview with the Buffalo Bills and not someone like

2491
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:56,160
Speaker 3: Byron Leftwich?

2492
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:58,479
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, and I think that's a legitimate quest.

2493
01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 2: Byron left was a quarter of coach. Philip Rivers got

2494
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 2: pulled off of his couch. I know he was coaching

2495
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,080
Speaker 2: high school, but with all due respect, it's freaking high school,

2496
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:08,519
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, comes in plays in the NFL, and

2497
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he's getting hit coaching jobs.

2498
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:13,519
Speaker 3: He's with Dion Colorado Brook.

2499
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:14,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's an assistant coach.

2500
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:15,200
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

2501
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:16,679
Speaker 2: Okay, good, well, good baby.

2502
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 3: That's why he's not getting the shop interview right now

2503
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:20,799
Speaker 3: after the year they just said.

2504
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:23,680
Speaker 2: Seeon's rotting a lot of former players, black players, by

2505
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:26,400
Speaker 2: the way, to his credit to be assistants on his

2506
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 2: staff at Colorado. So yeah, all power, all credit in

2507
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:30,760
Speaker 2: the world to Deon Sanders. Now they just got to

2508
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 2: get some some better production there on the field out

2509
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 2: there and Boulder. But it's not as if you can't

2510
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:38,960
Speaker 2: tell me that there just are many black guys who

2511
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 2: are not interested in being offensive coaches. That's obviously ridiculous,

2512
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:45,600
Speaker 2: no doubt. It's just you have to get a pipeline

2513
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 2: available and get these guys opportunities as assistants. You have

2514
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 2: to be able to pump up. There's a lot of

2515
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 2: guys who have been like running backs coaches. You know,

2516
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 2: Rodney Pete, our colleague, his brother Skip has been a

2517
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 2: running backs coach for twenty years or whatever. I don't

2518
01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 2: know if he has aspirations of being a coordinator or not.

2519
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 2: But you see a lot of guys in his position

2520
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,519
Speaker 2: who have been positioned coaches and never really get the

2521
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:06,600
Speaker 2: bump up. Now, is that because they don't want it

2522
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 2: or is that because they just aren't getting in the opportunity.

2523
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 2: And if they're not getting the opportunity for the bump,

2524
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 2: that's the question we need to be asking. We need

2525
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 2: to go beyond or take half a step back and

2526
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 2: stop talking about head coaching positions. Why aren't these guys

2527
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 2: getting coordinator positions?

2528
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 3: And it looks like Roger Goodell in the NFL. They're

2529
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 3: trying to get a grasp on what's happening.

2530
01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:27,400
Speaker 6: Here, evening commission.

2531
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 3: It's not lost on them. It's not being rushed under

2532
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 3: the rug or anything like that. That seems to be

2533
01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 3: a high priority in figuring this out. And it makes

2534
01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:38,519
Speaker 3: sense when seventy percent of the players, is it, are

2535
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 3: African American in the league. There should be more African

2536
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 3: American head coaches.

2537
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 2: Well, they've had so many programs that versionary programs. They

2538
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:48,559
Speaker 2: were incentives. If you hire a black offensive a black

2539
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:51,880
Speaker 2: offensive defensive coordinator, head coach, or general manager, you get

2540
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 2: draft compensation for that, so they'll give you a compensatory pick.

2541
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 2: So it's almost basically like, if all things were equal,

2542
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:01,200
Speaker 2: we're actually gonna compensate you if you hire a minority.

2543
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 2: We can get into arguments of affirmative action and all

2544
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:06,400
Speaker 2: that if you want, But I mean, there are incentives

2545
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 2: that are in place to be able to try to

2546
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 2: empower teams, to give them the opportunity to try to

2547
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 2: get more black people into those situations or minorities in

2548
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,519
Speaker 2: general into those roles, and for whatever reason so far,

2549
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:20,920
Speaker 2: now that program started in twenty twenty twenty two, So

2550
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:23,519
Speaker 2: about four years ago and then for whatever reason, it

2551
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 2: was paused this past offseason. Roger Goodell says they're going

2552
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,000
Speaker 2: to add some tweaks to it and then reintroduce it.

2553
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna jump up and scream on the

2554
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 2: table and say that everybody's racist. But I'm also not

2555
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 2: gonna bury my head in the sand and say that

2556
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 2: there isn't an issue, because it definitely is.

2557
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's valuable to look into and I'm

2558
01:54:42,560 --> 01:54:45,360
Speaker 3: glad they're at least taking those steps. We'll see what

2559
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:49,000
Speaker 3: happens next. But you know, every year is different. We

2560
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 3: tend to talk about this every couple seasons. It feels

2561
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 3: like Kevin, but this is definitely one of them. There's

2562
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 3: only three current head coaches that are African American now

2563
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:00,760
Speaker 3: now obviously Mike to almost step down.

2564
01:55:01,240 --> 01:55:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And even if you were to throw Tomlin back

2565
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:05,280
Speaker 2: in the mix, what do they all have in common

2566
01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:08,480
Speaker 2: other than being black defensive guys. They all have defensive

2567
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 2: backgrounds or all defensive coordinators, which historically the thought is

2568
01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 2: you don't have to be as intelligent or as crafty

2569
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 2: for defenses, and it's aggressive. It's not a thinking man's position.

2570
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 2: That's the stigma that gets attached.

2571
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 3: To us considering the offenses in this league. I think

2572
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:24,840
Speaker 3: you've got to be very brilliant to be a defensive mind.

2573
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I'm with you to a certain degree.

2574
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:31,240
Speaker 2: But there's just a different aura around being a quarterback

2575
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 2: or offensive guru than it is being a defensive guru.

2576
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 2: And the ownership and the hiring process has shown you

2577
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:37,440
Speaker 2: that you.

2578
01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:41,680
Speaker 3: Know who has aura. Oh, we're going to close things

2579
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 3: out with Breeze three coming up next, and then we'll

2580
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:47,320
Speaker 3: give our Super Bowl picks as well. Final segment of

2581
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:49,840
Speaker 3: the f and a takeover of Fox Sports Radio is

2582
01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 3: coming up. I met a Bossilis. Kevin figures.

2583
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 2: This is FSR.

01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:58,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2585
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 2: This place is dead anyway, Man, FNA COTTONNA.

2586
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 3: It's got multiple meetings there. Welcome back in. It's fn

2587
01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 3: A on FSR. I'm out of Osleni's Kevin figures. Final

2588
01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 3: segment here before we get to our Super Bowl picks.

2589
01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 6: Not one. But it's entertainment.

2590
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:24,240
Speaker 1: It's good. It's Breeze three.

2591
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:26,520
Speaker 8: We got breathe alrighty guys.

2592
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 7: So earlier this week, Roger Goodell announced that they were

2593
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:32,320
Speaker 7: going to be expanding games, like there's gonna be nine

2594
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 7: international games this coming season, so including Paris, Madrid, Brazil,

2595
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:38,360
Speaker 7: and Australia.

2596
01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:41,560
Speaker 3: They gotta drink somebody else's milkshake. They got to keep expanding.

2597
01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 7: They got to keep expanding because you know, a lot

2598
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:45,440
Speaker 7: of people at these countries really really care.

2599
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:49,200
Speaker 8: About the NFL. Okay yet, but they will they pair supposedly.

2600
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:52,160
Speaker 7: So I thought, Okay, if you can travel anywhere in

2601
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 7: the world to see an NFL game, I mean, I

2602
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 7: don't really know how many how many of us would

2603
01:56:56,720 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 7: actually but if we did want to travel and like

2604
01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:00,800
Speaker 7: kill two birds with one stone, because.

2605
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:01,760
Speaker 8: I kind of want to go to Paris to see

2606
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:02,280
Speaker 8: the Saints.

2607
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:07,080
Speaker 2: Like one stone, Like you know, the wife and I've

2608
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 2: talked about going to France because neither of us have been.

2609
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 2: It will be nice if we can, you know, catch

2610
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 2: a catch an NFL game on a fly by while

2611
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 2: we happen to be there watch then dare you.

2612
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 8: That was cool?

2613
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 2: Have a bag yet or two? Yes?

2614
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 1: A bad yet?

2615
01:57:22,640 --> 01:57:24,200
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, oh, I'd be so happy.

2616
01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:26,080
Speaker 3: Kind of looks like a football.

2617
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 8: So always. So that's so that those were my that's

2618
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 8: my breeze. Three of like if you could go anywhere

2619
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:34,480
Speaker 8: in the world to see a game.

2620
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 3: Where would you go a football game?

2621
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 2: Game?

2622
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, So my first one I went to Czech

2623
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:42,400
Speaker 7: Republic just because like Game of Thrones and I think

2624
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,400
Speaker 7: it'd be really cool to like build a stadium with

2625
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,000
Speaker 7: like the castles in the background.

2626
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 8: Because you've been there, right, right, keV, did you go

2627
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 8: to the.

2628
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:50,880
Speaker 2: Check I've not been in the Czech Republic.

2629
01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:54,240
Speaker 8: You went to Croatia. Oh you know what, I'm talking about? Croatia.

2630
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 3: Which place had the red light district?

2631
01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:57,280
Speaker 2: Which one was? That is Amsterdam?

2632
01:57:58,560 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 7: So that was one of and I actually I think

2633
01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 7: talking about Croatia, not Check Republic, So I already messed

2634
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 7: that up. Then Iceland was my second one. I think

2635
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:07,320
Speaker 7: it'd be really cool to play in really like cold conditions.

2636
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 7: I thought that'd be super fun. And then the third one,

2637
01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 7: I went Barbados, so it'd be like very tropical. Yes,

2638
01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 7: so I'm hot cold, And then Game of Thrones.

2639
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 3: All right, so yeah, who's up next?

2640
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:20,400
Speaker 8: Mark, You're up?

2641
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 9: So the first thing I thought of was Turks and

2642
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:25,800
Speaker 9: Caicos Island.

2643
01:58:25,920 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

2644
01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:31,080
Speaker 9: I've only heard that mentioned. It's a great destination for vacations.

2645
01:58:31,120 --> 01:58:33,960
Speaker 9: People go there for various reasons. And then the second

2646
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:36,960
Speaker 9: place I thought was, I've always wanted to go to Italy,

2647
01:58:37,080 --> 01:58:39,880
Speaker 9: so I just picked Naples to go to Naples, Italy

2648
01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 9: for a football game, so whatever. And the last place

2649
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:44,840
Speaker 9: I thought of is just so they could be a

2650
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:47,760
Speaker 9: Godzilla tie in, we can go to Tokyo, Japan.

2651
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:48,920
Speaker 6: Nice.

2652
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 3: You know, I just watched shin Godzilla on HBO. Pretty good.

2653
01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 3: Came out in twenty sixteen. It's all from the perspective of,

2654
01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 3: like the government, who's very realistic take on Godzilla, what

2655
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 3: you would do in that situation. I'm sorry my game

2656
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 3: sidetracked down.

2657
01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 2: Did the star of the movie die in the first

2658
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:04,080
Speaker 2: five seconds?

2659
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:09,919
Speaker 3: Now, Brian Krasten wasn't in this one? Okay, the Summers

2660
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 3: with the Stars Godzilla by the way, who also wasn't

2661
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:13,640
Speaker 3: in that movie? Very much.

2662
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:17,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with France too. I mentioned that a

2663
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 2: little bit earlier in this segment. Obviously, that would be

2664
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:21,960
Speaker 2: a great one for me. The Melbourne, Australia, I know

2665
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 2: that's on the DUTs on tap. They announced last year

2666
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:25,839
Speaker 2: that the Rams are going to be playing. They announced

2667
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:28,120
Speaker 2: earlier this week that they're going to be playing against

2668
01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:29,920
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, and I guess they gave up

2669
01:59:29,960 --> 01:59:31,960
Speaker 2: that home game. And is it really a home game

2670
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:33,680
Speaker 2: when the Rams are playing the forty nineers at so far?

2671
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's basically a forty nine er home game,

2672
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 2: So I would have given it up too far with them.

2673
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:39,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, going to it to Australia would be great,

2674
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:41,600
Speaker 2: despite the eighteen hour flight or whatever the hell it

2675
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 2: would be. It seems I could be well worth it.

2676
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 2: It's very beautiful out there and this isn't a place.

2677
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:47,760
Speaker 2: But I mean, if they could play college basketball games

2678
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:49,960
Speaker 2: on an air for aircraft carrier? Can they play football

2679
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 2: games on aircraft here? Can I see that? Can the

2680
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:55,560
Speaker 2: carrier be actually, you know, going through the ocean as

2681
01:59:55,640 --> 01:59:57,160
Speaker 2: the game is being played. Is that possible?

2682
01:59:57,240 --> 01:59:59,680
Speaker 3: What's the yardage on an aircraft carrier. It's got to

2683
01:59:59,680 --> 01:59:59,840
Speaker 3: be a.

2684
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:01,600
Speaker 2: Hundred yards, I would imagine, so right.

2685
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:02,720
Speaker 3: What about the width though?

2686
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:04,640
Speaker 2: There could be that's the thing that could be an issue.

2687
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:05,960
Speaker 2: If a guy trying to, you know, dive on the

2688
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,160
Speaker 2: sideline for for a ball, he might have fallen too.

2689
02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 8: The Pacific, Jefferson might be like trying to catch something.

2690
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:16,839
Speaker 3: And then all right, I got Brazil, just the Amazon jungle,

2691
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 3: just like, just drop a game in there, because I

2692
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 3: noticed Auson Stadium where the Ducks play. It's just in

2693
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 3: the middle of a forest. Is beautiful, It's amazing. I'd

2694
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:29,040
Speaker 3: love to see that in a more tropical setting. And

2695
02:00:29,120 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 3: then also, I don't know if I can claim this

2696
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:35,920
Speaker 3: one like the moon, Why can't we play zero gravity football? Okay,

2697
02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:36,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't that be fun.

2698
02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:39,200
Speaker 2: Adam's hanging with Elon Musk up there right.

2699
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me my SpaceX or whatever. We'll make it happen.

2700
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 3: And then finally, because the Kings are getting it done,

2701
02:00:46,320 --> 02:00:49,360
Speaker 3: Sacramento deserves a football team. They deserve to see some

2702
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:53,760
Speaker 3: real sports right now. They used to have in the

2703
02:00:53,920 --> 02:00:58,120
Speaker 3: United Football League, the Sacramento Mountain Lions. And I'm from

2704
02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 3: sack Town. And guess who was the head coach of

2705
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:05,320
Speaker 3: that team, Kevin speaking of uh, not enough African American coaches.

2706
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:07,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna say Bill Belichick, so not him.

2707
02:01:08,160 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 3: It was Dennis Green. I mean, that's awesome it is.

2708
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:15,200
Speaker 3: They had that team for I think four years. The

2709
02:01:15,360 --> 02:01:18,120
Speaker 3: United Football League lasted four years. That's kind of crazy.

2710
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah I did, right, Yeah, super Bowl predictions there Adam,

2711
02:01:21,080 --> 02:01:24,000
Speaker 2: what do you got are we going spread to let's

2712
02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:26,080
Speaker 2: go spread. Seattle is a three point favorite, three and

2713
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 2: a half point fait.

2714
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:29,160
Speaker 3: That's it, all right, that's it. How am I not

2715
02:01:29,280 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 3: taking Seattle mist three and a half.

2716
02:01:31,920 --> 02:01:34,280
Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of people going on the patriot side,

2717
02:01:34,320 --> 02:01:35,240
Speaker 2: but not really.

2718
02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:36,600
Speaker 3: Good Jack and Matt Damon.

2719
02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:39,000
Speaker 2: Maybe I also have the Seahawks by three and a half.

2720
02:01:39,040 --> 02:01:41,320
Speaker 2: They're going to win the Super Bowl, Sam Donald, MVP

2721
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 2: Project and Il coming up next on FSR
