I like to thank 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Lakers for participating in the twenty twenty 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: four NBA Playoffs. Get your home version of the game 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: on the way out the door. Hopefully we don't have 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: to hear any more cycle babble and long winded words, salad, 13 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: nonsensical postgame comments from Lebron. One can hope, but hey, 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm not here to bachelor Lakers. They've actually had a 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: pretty good year, all right, won forty seven games. Lebron 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: played seventy one games. Anthony Davis played like seventy five 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: games after the All Star break, number three in the 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: NBA in offensive efficiency. But we kept hearing these speeches about, yeah, 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: I was a sweep last year, but man, it was close, 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: man almost Yeah, sure, good. Maybe you guys could rent 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: meet the Fokkers and watch that movie and get yourself 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: some medals for that. But again, I'm not here to 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: bash the Lakers. They'd won six straight road games heading 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: into Saturday nights tilt against Denver, and of course Denver 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: had beaten the Lakers eight in a row, so something 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: had to give. But the truth of the matter is 27 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: the more things change, the more they stay. This dame. Now, 28 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: the Lakers came out like a house of fire. You 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: could not have scripted a more ideal start against the 30 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets on Saturday if you were a Hollywood scriptwriter 31 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: and you were in the back for the Lakers. Lebron 32 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: James looked good early. Aaron Gordon, one of Denver's key defenders, 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: got into early foul trouble. D'Angelo Russell was making shots, 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis was making shots. Lebron was making shots, made 35 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: his first three threes. Lakers were even up double digits 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: in the second quarter. I think it was forty nine 37 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: thirty seven, and then, just like just like every game 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: of last year's Western Conference Finals, oh no, we suck again. 39 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: It didn't matter, you know. The Nuggets they they'd struggled 40 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: a little bit early, you know, for them, but then 41 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: you know they figured it out and from that point, 42 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: after trailing forty nine to thirty seven, they rode the 43 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: Lakers like a stick horse. Ended up winning by eleven fourteen, 44 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: one o three, and the Nuggets looked every bit like 45 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: the championship squad that one. Denver's first championship in franchise 46 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: s hisstory last season, which is bad news for the 47 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: rest of the NBA. In my humble opinion, it's even 48 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: more bad news for the Lakers. It's the worst news 49 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: for the Lakers, who have now lost nine straight games 50 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: to Denver between the regular season and the playoffs. And 51 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: if they're scoring at home or believen, if you're just 52 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: by yourself. The last time the Lakers defeated Denver was 53 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: December sixteenth of twenty twenty two. December sixteenth of twenty 54 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: twenty two, once again, Nicole Jokic incredibly efficient, incredibly dominant, 55 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: just amazing thirty two points fifteen to twenty three, twelve rebounds, 56 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: seven assists, how many turnovers zero none, n a zelch Bupkus. 57 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: With Yoki shut on the floor, the Nuggets just look 58 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: like poetry in motion period. By the way, the entire 59 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Nuggets squad, they only committed four turnovers in their entirety. 60 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: Now the Lakers, they showed up, looked like they had 61 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: a plan. The man with the plan. They played the 62 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: Nuggets backcourt, you know, probably much more aggressively than most 63 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: teams in the NBA are willing to or would take 64 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: the risk in doing. They tried the Lakers. They wasn't 65 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: a matter of effort. The Lakers tried very hard to 66 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: make Jamal Murray uncomfortable. They also make sure that the 67 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: Lakers were ready for Denver and transition. And the truth 68 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: of the matter is it translated into a lot of 69 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: misshots for the Nuggets, at least early on. But the 70 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: tide turned in the second quarter. The Lakers had their 71 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: largest lead of the game twelve points. Nuggets called time out. 72 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: They responded with a fourteen to two run to tie 73 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: the game, and then they really went to work in 74 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: the third quarter. By then, the Lakers were starting to 75 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: look a little exhausted, started to make some bad decisions. 76 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: There were multiple possessions that ended the way Denver drew 77 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: up in their playbook, such as an Anthony Davis three 78 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: point attempt took a while for the Lakers to get 79 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: their feetback under them. They tried to get the lead down, 80 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: they got up to single digits midway through the fourth quarter, 81 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: but it was like when big brother Russell's little brother, 82 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: he lets you win for a while, then he says, 83 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: all right, not up in here, notough of that, We're 84 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: gonna pin you. Lakers could not get any closer and 85 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: again run back the tape people. Just like last year 86 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: in the NBA Western Conference Finals, D'Angelo Russell, who's been 87 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: pretty good this year, ended up looking like a guy 88 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: that might not want to hope, you know, give a 89 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: lot of minutes to against the Nuggets. The Nuggets are 90 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: a team that are fully capable, fully equipped how to 91 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: exploit D'Angelo Russell when they're on offense, and the Nuggets 92 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: did a pretty darn good job of denying Angelo Russell 93 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: open shots on defense. By the way, Russell did finish 94 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: the night with thirteen points six to twenty, one of 95 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: nine from behind the york one of nine. I will 96 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: make a prediction that the Lakers in Game two will 97 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: have less minutes for D'Angelo Russell and more minutes for 98 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Gave Vincent, who who's better defensively, That's my prediction. Now 99 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: cam'p be denied the Lakers. They played their butt off, 100 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: they did try, they went for it. Lebron James played 101 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: forty one minutes, Anthony Davis played forty four minutes. What 102 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: do they get for that? Well, I think Judge Schmils 103 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: said it best you get nothing, and like it. They 104 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: got to run into a tough, championship caliber, rested Nuggets 105 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: team that showed almost no rust after six game layoff, 106 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know if it gets any better than 107 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: there for the Lakers. The Nuggets took their best punch 108 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: and it was close until it wasn't. The Lakers were 109 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: even up sixty to fifty seven at halftime thanks to 110 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: that Caitlin Clark tripple from Lebron James before the buzzle buzzer. 111 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: Excuse me, easy for me to say. And then the 112 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Nuggets they do what the Nuggets do, twenty four run, 113 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: broke it open in the second half. All of a sudden, 114 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: they're up eighty nine to seventy eight heading into the 115 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and Denver. You know, we'll talk about this 116 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: with Mark Medina at midnight. But their synergy, their connectivity, 117 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: their continuity their depth. My god, Denver's really good. This 118 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: just in, Yeah, Denver's really good. You got this five 119 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: man lineup right, Nikolay Okick, Jamal Murray, Contavious Calwell, Pope, 120 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter. And the truth of the matter 121 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: is these guys all really You talk up the individually 122 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: outstanding players, but the hole is simply better than the 123 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: total of their parts. They just simply are. They play 124 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: at their own pace, their own tempo. They create their 125 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: own wide open looks, and they almost make it look 126 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: too easy at times. They really do yo kick fights. 127 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: He looks over in the corner and he sees Caldwell 128 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Pope in the opposite corner. Aaron Gordon's already sliding in 129 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: front of Anthony Davis to screen him away. Yokuld catches 130 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: a pocket pass from Jamal Murray. Gordon is sliding baseline. 131 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: He's looking for another lob. When the Nuggets get into 132 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: their transition game, forget it. There's really no stopping him. 133 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, let's not forget defensively, the Nuggets 134 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: truly turned up the heat in the second half, holding 135 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: the Lakers to a total of forty three points in 136 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the second half of just going sixty in the first half. 137 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: As the game went along, the Lakers look more flustered 138 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: and Denver looked far more locked in. And at the 139 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: end of the second quarter, when they not get started, 140 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: they get back into it. You sensed that the second 141 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: half was going to be rough sledding for the Lakers. 142 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: Even Darvin Ham said it. He said, quote and he 143 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: dropped a swear word. He said, this is tough. Quote. 144 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: A championship team isn't going to beat itself. So the 145 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: second half you saw, you saw the full force of Denver. 146 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: You did, and it felt more apparent as a Lebron 147 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: James and Anthony Davis. Well, let's be honest, they carried 148 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: the freight. They got very little contributions from their supporting cast, 149 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: and I look for that, frankly, to continue. The truth 150 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: of the matter is, for two full years now, Denver 151 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: has sported a team that's just simply complete. Very few 152 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: teams are complete as Denver. I don't think any team 153 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: is as complete as Denver. Maybe you can talk about 154 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: the Boston celt but they haven't done anything yet, and 155 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: Denver has. The truth of the matter is tonight was 156 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be a test supposed to be a test, 157 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: and Denver passed it in flying colors. Oh, by the way, 158 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: Denver's been passing every test for the last two years. 159 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe LA has some trick up at sleeve. 160 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe Rujachmura can save the day, or 161 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: maybe the Lakers shooters can perform a miracle. But they're 162 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: going to have to show a lot more spark and 163 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot more than they showed Saturday night. Am I 164 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: predicting to sleep a sweep?

He's a fixture on my show during 199 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: the NFL season. Well, we've got the draft Thursday night, 200 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: so who better to have on? Yes, it's that time, 201 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: it's the Physic five. The time, it's the Physic five. 202 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 5: These are the five things you need to hear about. 203 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 5: Not with the only backed up back Hilton Super Contest 204 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 5: winner Steve Fessig. 205 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: Here's Bernie Fratto. Well, Faz, we're right in your wheelhouse. 206 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: The Circa posted over one hundred props this past Monday 207 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft. That was the most popular, seemingly 208 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: is the over under quarterback selected in the first round. 209 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: The total is four and a half. Let's start through. 210 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: You have thoughts on that, sure. 211 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 6: Well, it's a disguised prop because it really comes down 212 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 6: to more than likely. Where Obviously the Washington quarterback Penix 213 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: is going to go because you got four slam dunk 214 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 6: quarterbacks soon ago and bone decks unlikely to go. So 215 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 6: Pennix is he going to go in the first round 216 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 6: or not. It's going to decide this wager. And that's 217 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 6: reflected by the fact that right now Certa has Pennix 218 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 6: thirty two and a half the under minus one eighty five, 219 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 6: so that means there's a more than half chance, much 220 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 6: more than half chance he'll go in the first round, 221 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 6: and in which case over four and a half, wee 222 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 6: indeed cash and I guess you got a little bit 223 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 6: of a free roll of Bonex goes. Personally, Bernie, I 224 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 6: think betting bone Next to not go in the first round, 225 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 6: even at like minus two twenty, I think I saw 226 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 6: is a good wager. I think we I'm not sure 227 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 6: that even a Penix is going to go in the 228 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 6: first round, but I'm pretty confident he's going to go 229 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 6: before Bonex. 230 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: Here's if you've really if you're feeling saucy, the Raiders 231 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: have the thirteenth pick. If you think they like Bonnicks, 232 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: you can get that at plus three seventy five. Do 233 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: you have any thoughts or is that too much of 234 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: a needle in a haystack? 235 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 6: Bet I hate the needle in the haystack, bets. And 236 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 6: this is a classic example because there's just no way 237 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 6: that the Raiders would take him, you know, uh yeah, 238 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 6: I mean he's not supposed to go till number thirty seven, 239 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 6: So for him to be taken that early would just 240 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 6: be the Raiders would be lamb basted for stupidity to 241 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 6: do that. So they have to trade back to probably 242 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 6: the end of the first round and then take him. 243 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 6: So you're asking for an awful lot to happen for 244 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 6: one specific event to occur. Because of that, I would 245 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 6: try to avoid. You know, everyone's looking for the needle 246 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 6: in the haystack. Everyone wants to bet one hundred to 247 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 6: win three seventy five, And the truth is, more often 248 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 6: than not, it's the minus three seventy five bets, where 249 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 6: you lay three seventy five to make one hundred on 250 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 6: something that's almost almost certain to happen, that winds up 251 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 6: being the very best bets. Of course, the most extreme 252 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 6: example is that for a long time, I think it's 253 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 6: off the board. Now you know, Caleb Williams to go 254 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 6: number one, you could you risk fifty to win a dollar. 255 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 6: Now I know you have to type your money, so 256 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 6: that's no good, but that's I mean, as sure as 257 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 6: the sun's going to come up on Thursday, he's going to. 258 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 7: Get selected number one. 259 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think that numbers, now what I think minus 260 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: ten thousand, is it not. I mean, it's something ridiculous. 261 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: But to your point earlier, go ahead, you'll earn more. 262 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 6: By just putting the money in the checking account, yes, 263 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 6: or just. 264 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: Light it on fire. It'll keep you warm long. On 265 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: the short of it is this, I want to just 266 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: quickly piggyback on a point you just made. All too 267 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: often betters want to bet a little to make a lot, 268 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: bet a little to make a little more if you 269 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: want to be profitable in this business. By the way, 270 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: real quickly, on the Raiders, one bet says. It actually 271 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: did catch my eye is that, as you know, Circa 272 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: and Station, they posted odds on positions. And what I 273 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: mean by that is, for instance, the Raiders, if you 274 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: believe their first pick will be an offensive lineman, that's 275 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: plus one point forty. That's live your thoughts. You know. 276 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 6: I hate all these bets, and the reason being one 277 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 6: team who they're going to take, because the Raiders are 278 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 6: going to know who they're going to take. And that's 279 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 6: what makes the drafts so good. That if you've got 280 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 6: a mole in those organizations, Bernie, you have bles, you 281 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 6: have friends, and you know the whispers get out. They're 282 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 6: like Hey, you know, it's like the Bengals the year 283 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 6: a few years back there trying to decide should we 284 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: take the wide receiver or the the old lineman, and 285 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 6: then everyone knew they were going to take their wide receiver, 286 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 6: and the odds on him just just went crazy. Well, 287 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 6: you want to wait till you get that information. And 288 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 6: without that information, as Gordon get going, wall Street says, 289 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 6: the whole world out there is throwing darts. Buddy boy, 290 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 6: I don't throw darts and I don't gamble. I deal 291 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 6: in information. 292 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: You got to go get me something didn't know we 293 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: had a meeting Today's Sport. I love it. Good stuff, Fez, 294 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: all right, speaking of moles, listen, I I'm going to 295 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: defend JJ McCarthy later in the show. As you know, 296 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: I covered you know, Michigan football for many years, and 297 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: I still got my finger on the pulse and talk 298 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: to people. There's a thing about him. Let me just 299 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: do this. Ever so quickly, Fez I realized he wasn't 300 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: asked to do a lot this year. He'd have to 301 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: put the team on his back and do all the 302 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: heavy lifting. So he's a limited highlight reel. He has 303 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: a limited you know stat you know, sheet as it were. 304 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: But in third down he completed, he got first downs 305 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: and fifty percent of his third downs when he passed 306 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: the ball, So he was a master a third down, 307 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: the money down, the fourth quarter in the red zone. 308 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: Where am I going with this? I think there is 309 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: a very good chance he's drafted in the top five. 310 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 6: Your thoughts probably you had to say that it's a 311 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 6: very big good chance you could be drafted by the Chargers. 312 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: All no, zero, no, no, no hardballs, no, no, no, no. 313 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: He's got his guy, although there's some issues with his 314 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: finger surgery. That's justin Herbert. But no, listen, New England 315 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: is very interested in sales Minnesota. Things have to fall 316 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: into place. See that's the thing. And we'll get to that. 317 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: Fairs about trades, and I'm all over the map here, 318 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The question is does New England trade that 319 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: third pick for a haul or did they draft JJ 320 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 1: McCarthy Anyway, I think it's not up to minus one 321 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: eighty five that he goes under his draft position of 322 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: five and a half. 323 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, Yeah, I see circa under five minus one five. 324 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 6: You know, he doesn't have a lot of slots to 325 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 6: go because I think it's pretty much a slam. Doug 326 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 6: Marvin Harrison's going to go in the top five. We're 327 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 6: gonna get the other three quarterbacks, you know, May and Daniels, 328 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 6: and so there's only one one slot left. But he's 329 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 6: the favorite to fall into that slot versus you know, 330 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 6: anybody else. Again, I would much prefer to identify something 331 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 6: that we get information on, something that is kind of 332 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 6: the consensus. I'll give you an example. So, like Brian 333 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 6: Thomas is the LC wide receiver who has medical issues 334 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 6: and he's falling out of favor, and his over under 335 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 6: was like sixteen and a half and now it's nineteen 336 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 6: and a half, for instance. But pretty much the word 337 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 6: is that boy, you're taking him at your own resk 338 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 6: you because the medical issues, well, guys like that tend 339 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 6: to rightly or wrongly, just keep moving in the same direction. Namely, 340 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 6: they keep being bearish the betters on those players and 341 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 6: betting against them, probably like the poster child. Remember when 342 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 6: Larry Tunsall with the gas mask and then he was 343 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 6: going to go three or four and then boom me 344 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 6: went way later, and so that narrative is out there 345 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 6: on Brian Thomas. So there's a guy. I would say 346 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 6: that I don't have to like micro manage how everyone's feeling, 347 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 6: how anyone team is feeling about him, because I already know. 348 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 6: I already know the consensus that people teams are wary 349 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 6: of him and betting him over which is I saw DraftKings. 350 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 6: He was at seventeen and a half over minus I 351 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 6: think one eighty. And that's that I would absolutely end. 352 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 6: Is Brian Thomas over all. 353 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: Right, let's spit ball a couple of these brock Bowers 354 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: his position under twelve and a half minus one twenty 355 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: five be shocked if the Jets don't take him at ten. 356 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: That seems like a solid play to me. 357 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 6: You know, I've heard everything about, you know, the taking 358 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 6: the best player versus are you crazy? The Jets need 359 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 6: to bulk up the old line, you know the eye test. 360 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 6: Anyone who watched brock Power says that guy is god. 361 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 6: I mean, he's so good for Georgia, but his stats 362 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 6: weren't all that impressives. And I my guts just says 363 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 6: the push come to shove. What happened to the Jets 364 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 6: that train wrecker season? Well, the quarterback got hurt in 365 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 6: the very first game. You got to feel that they 366 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 6: would opt for the safe picking and take it an 367 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 6: old lineman and not take Bowers. But again, I don't 368 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 6: have any information. I hate betting with that information, all right. 369 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: So here's another prop. Over six and a half defensive 370 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: linemen and edge rushers drafted in the first round. You 371 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: can get plus two forty. There's a lot of big 372 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: name edge rushers and defensive linemen in this draft. You 373 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: looked at that aspect, you know, I. 374 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 6: Was thinking about betting over ten and a half defensive 375 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 6: players taken in the first round. 376 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, think about think about it. 377 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 6: Yes, if we get seven edge rushers, you know we're 378 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 6: probably going to be in great shape to get over 379 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 6: ten and a half overall defenders. Right, So I know 380 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 6: those two are you know, dovetail. But if I had 381 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 6: to bet, if I had to be bullish on defenders taken, 382 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 6: I think i'd go just the over ten. 383 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 7: And a half. 384 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: Well, there's also a prop FEZ under twenty one and 385 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: a half minus one forty offensive players drafted in the 386 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: first round. Something. 387 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 6: Well, go ahead, Fazz, unless ray Guy becomes available as 388 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 6: a putter. I think I think we're probably safe. They're 389 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 6: like just shopping right and seeing which one we're going to, 390 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 6: which one we pay less? Vega on the ten and 391 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 6: a half or the twenty one and a half? 392 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: Yes, all right, final one, Fez. I think there's going 393 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: to be a ton of wide receivers drafted in the 394 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: first half. Do you like that? Over prop? 395 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: You know, I've been looking much more at the individual 396 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 6: wide receivers than the number that are going indeed to 397 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 6: be selected. It does seem to me, doesn't seem Bernie that? 398 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 6: Like I know, offense is more important than defense, but 399 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 6: have we ever seen a draft where we saw twenty 400 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 6: two guys get selected on offense in the first round. 401 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 6: I gotta go under the twenty one and a half 402 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 6: on overall offensive guys. 403 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's fair. Even though the rules are changed 404 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: and it's basketball on turf. You're right, teams are going 405 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: to draft on the Fez. Enjoy the draft week, my friend. 406 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. 407 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 6: Thank you so much, Bernie.

Okay, all right? If you 468 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: dumped Jalen Brunson into let's say a high school game 469 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, New York, how do you think he would do? 470 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 8: I think he would have upwards of fifty five points 471 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 8: in a forty minute game. 472 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: So I want to say about a young man. When 473 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: I was playing college baseball, I saw this kid play 474 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: and he was on the first ever McDonald's All American Team. 475 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He was 476 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: six foot six, but he reminded me of Jalen Brunson. 477 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: A lot kid by the name of Albert King. 478 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 9: Prick Patrick Sweet has fed you this, no. 479 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: Chance, No, but nobody fed me anything.

But if he gets 482 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: into the ring with me, there's gonna be blood. We've 483 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: done a couple shows together. Okay.

I was there for it. I'll take a 490 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: light of text test, okay. So I just want to 491 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: tell you, man, the long the short of it is 492 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: that not everybody can you know.

But he was the goods man. But that 501 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: was high school. That was high school. And I what 502 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: can you say? Talk? You know, I bet Doug Gottlieve 503 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: knows about him. People know about him.

We 510 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: still have a little fun on Saturday night. I gotta 511 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: ask you, o Martin being the being the Michigan man. 512 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: And you know, you know, my dear mother went to 513 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: the University of Michigan. I covered that program many many years. 514 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: The three men I admire most, the father's son and 515 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: Fielding Yost. What do you think, what do you think 516 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: of that weak ass tattoo or mackot? I have it 517 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: on good authority, Martin. You know that same guy that 518 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: stencils your address on the curb in front of your house, 519 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: he's the same guy that did that tattoo. 520 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 8: I'll say this, he definitely checked the box, right. He 521 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 8: said he was gonna get a tattoo. He got a tattoo, 522 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 8: but his bloem looks a little understated. I'll say that 523 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 8: the block M is supposed to see the burn to 524 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 8: the point is at the block right, and this this 525 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 8: M is just you know, if you just went size 526 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 8: fourteen on Microsoft Word and pressed M after the shift M, 527 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 8: that would be the M that you're. 528 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 9: Looking at on Jim harboss tattoo. 529 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: What are we doing here? If you're gonna do it, 530 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: do it? The block him is one of the most 531 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: iconic logos in all of sport, The Amazing Blue you 532 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: know anyway. 533 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 8: As far I mean, like I said, he checked the box, 534 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 8: but that's about all that he did. 535 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: Well, he did it, he got the tattoo. I'm just saying, 536 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the same guy that did the tattoo 537 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: will do your address on your curb and stencil it 538 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: in front of your house so when the pizza man comes, 539 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: he knows where to find. 540 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 9: You did very much. 541 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 8: It gave me, like, you know, when I was growing up, 542 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 8: he had to do projects for the science projects or whatever, 543 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 8: and it ended up being that Mom ended up doing 544 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 8: the whole thing. 545 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 9: I felt like Mom kind of stenciled that block. 546 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 10: You know. 547 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 9: That's kind of how that's That was my take. 548 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's entirely it's entirely possible. All right. A couple 549 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: of footnotes on the draft. If you look at the 550 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: Vegas odds, this really could be the first time six 551 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks go in the first round since that legendary nineteen 552 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: eighty three draft that featured John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, 553 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: Tony Easton, Kenny O'Brien, and of course Dan Marino. Now 554 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: doubt it's gonna happen. I'm just saying it could happen. 555 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Bodnicks is a first rounder, and I 556 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: think Michael Pennix is a first round talent, but you know, 557 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to go in the 558 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: first round. I don't know the over under on qbs 559 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: in the first round four and a half minus one 560 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: to eighty five. No looking back. There were three first 561 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: round quarterbacks last year, only one in twenty twenty two. 562 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: Can you Pickett? Now? There were five in their initial 563 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: round on the twenty twenty one draft. Now, mel kiper 564 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: Junior actually thinks the wide receiver class is the bomb 565 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: for this year and as many it's six or seven 566 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: could go in the first round. You got the big four, 567 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, Roma Doonza. But see I talked to an 568 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: NFL Scott Friday. He thinks Malik Neighbors is the best 569 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: most NFL ready receiver in this draft because there's incredible explosiveness. 570 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know that he's wrong, but you know, 571 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: then you look at the next four. You got Exavier 572 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: Worthy who ran a four to two one forty yard dash, 573 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: which is a record, you know, but we'll see it's 574 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 1: the NFL birds can fly too. Doesn't mean they can 575 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: play football. But I do like this Worthy kid. But 576 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: it takes more than just speed. Ad Mitchell had the 577 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: great hands. Never drops a catchable ball, even balls that 578 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: aren't catchable. The truth of the matter is there's a 579 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: lot that goes into evaluating and scouting a wide receiver 580 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: and his ability to navigate the NFL deal with things 581 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: like press coverage, you know, find separation, find the gaps 582 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: and zones, and understand an NFL playbook. By the way, 583 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: just keep in mind, there's going to be an organization 584 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: that's going to be enamored with Xavier Worthy and they 585 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: should be just because of his speed. And I realize 586 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison is a flavor of the month and maybe 587 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: he should be pretty sure. He had a dad who 588 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: played in the NFL too, that didn't hurt him. So 589 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: if his name was Eddie Gazinski with the same skill set, 590 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: where we'll be talking about him the same way. Maybe 591 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's going to be fun to watch 592 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: on Thursday night coming up. You know, people say what 593 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: they will about the NBA, but there are actually two 594 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: big reasons why the NBA has headed into this year's playoffs. 595 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: But believe it or not, and a tenance record to 596 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: gloat about. I'll share with you why, what, where and 597 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: how this happened. Just the facts, man.

Just getting start at 609 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: top of the hour a little midnight, Mark Medina Medina 610 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: Magic Plenty to talk about today's quadruple header in the 611 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs. I know by the way, I think the 612 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: NBA is actually taking a well deserved bows they head 613 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, which started for reels on Saturday. There 614 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: are two big reasons why the NBA has taken that bow, 615 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: because they've actually gotten a tennis record of legitimately glowed about. 616 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: The truth of the matter is the debut of the 617 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: n Season Tournament and the now evolution. They're in their 618 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: third year. The play in tournament actually I'm sorry it's 619 00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: entering it's fifty year has had a dramatically positive effect 620 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: on the NBA. Now the total attendance for the twenty 621 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: three to twenty four season, which ended last Sunday. The 622 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: regular season was twenty two million, five hundred and thirty 623 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: eight thousand. That's about three hundred thousand more than the 624 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: season before, which had already broken the season long mark 625 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: that was set back in twenty eighteen. Why because the 626 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: months of November and March had record turnouts, largely buoyed 627 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: clearly by the group play in season tournament games. Now. 628 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Tillman, the executive vice president of Team Marketing and 629 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: Business Operations, was quoted last week saying, you usually see 630 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: a very strong start at the beginning of the schedule, 631 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: but then you'll have a lull in November and December 632 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: before picking back up as you head into the playoffs. 633 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: But the nd season tournament to carry that, and by 634 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: the way, as the season concluded, there were a lot 635 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: of what I called last week pen and race games 636 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 1: on the last couple of days of the season as 637 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: teams were spreading to the finish in both conferences because 638 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: heading into last weekend, believe it or not, you had 639 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: nineteen of the league's twenty playoff seeds up for grabs. 640 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: As late as heading into last weekend. You know, the 641 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: Boston Celtics were set, but you can figure out the rest. 642 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: So because of all the movement, it created tremendously more 643 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: interest in those games across the board, and I think 644 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: that was born out in attendance and even TV ratings. 645 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: So the truth of the matter is is bigger, better 646 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: is less? No more is more and better in the 647 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: NBA because if scheduling tweaks have been this successful. When 648 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: people sort of laughed at the play in tournament, I 649 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: remember one of the guys fired who came up with it. Well, 650 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: you've been a fixture in the plane the last three years, Lebron. 651 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: You might want to rethink that. And the n Season Tournament, 652 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: obviously the Lakers loved because they went all They went 653 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: all out to win the damn thing and they did. 654 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: So maybe he should the NBA even consider more expansion 655 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: in terms of tournaments, et cetera. Well, the truth of 656 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: the matter is, I don't know that that he's on 657 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: the drawing board anytime soon. They're going to continue to 658 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: monitor the n Season Tournament and they're going to, you know, 659 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: continue to evaluate the playing tournament, and then they'll they'll decide, 660 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, if they need to make tweaks is perhaps 661 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: as soon as next season. We'll see whatever the case 662 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: may be. I think what you are seeing now is 663 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: an NBA that's feeling pretty saucy as they head into 664 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: their next TV contract. They're not going to remain stagnant. 665 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: After the first season of playing games. In twenty twenty, 666 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: the NBA doubled the number of participating teams all right, 667 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: and then after just one rendition of the n season 668 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: tournament this last November December, it's now already been rebranded 669 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: as the Emirates NBA Cup, and the format for next 670 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: seasons NBA Cup hasn't been released yet, but there is 671 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: thought there will be some potential changes. What those are 672 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. And by the way, I should reference 673 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: a couple of the other NBA playoff games that were played. 674 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: The Knicks. Jason Smith's Knicks took Game one, and if 675 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: you're the Sixers, you actually, well, you might breathe a 676 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: sigh of relief. They avoid a disaster with the Jewel embiid. 677 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: I say this in quotes Injury Now. The Knicks took 678 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: Game one of the first round series. They beat the 679 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: Sixers one eleven, one oh four, Jalen Brunson. That's what 680 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: Jalen brunt has been doing. He led the way twenty 681 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: two points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. And give it 682 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: up to Josh Hart, give it up to og Nanobi. 683 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: They supplied the Daggers right. It was a game in 684 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: which Philadelphia, though as I said, most likely breathe a 685 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: sigh relief, MB had kind of an injury scare in 686 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 1: the second quarter. And you know what, this stuff's starting 687 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: above me I. The NBA is so much better when 688 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: everybody's healthy. If you're a Clipper fan, how can you 689 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 1: relax not knowing what the hell is going on with 690 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard? Now, I always practicing, but if the knees 691 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: swelling up, and we'll talk to Mark Mediani about this, 692 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: this is not good. I mean last year the Clippers 693 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: had the Sun's beat, then what happens. He gets hurt, 694 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: Kawhi gets hurt, and they lose. Meanwhile, I honestly think 695 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: I think VJ and Husky said this, and I'm in 696 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: agreement with him. If if Zion doesn't go down the 697 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: last five minutes of that game, in the playing tournament game, 698 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Lakers win that game they 699 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: might have it's an imponderable. We're never gonna know. But 700 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: they could not stop him. Period. He goes down with 701 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: a hamstring and after what was been a great season 702 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: and he looks great. He lost weight and he's in 703 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: shape and he's doing what he was supposed to do 704 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: and the Laker, I mean, they were a freight train 705 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: coming down and the Lakers could not stop him. Zion 706 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: leaves the game and the Lakers closed the deal. You 707 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: got Zion, you got Kawhi, and now he got Embiid. 708 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: He was laying on the floor and his eyes were 709 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 1: wide open. Trainers were evaluating his leg. He was eventually 710 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: helped off the floor out of the locker room and 711 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: they just called a lower body injury following a dunk. 712 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: But he immediately goes to the locker room. Fortunately, and 713 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: I mean fortunately, Embiid was back on the floor at 714 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: the start of the third quarter and they were down twelve. 715 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: But the dude can play man twenty nine points. He 716 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: didn't have a great shooting that, but he did have 717 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: twenty nine points, points, eight rebound, six assists, and you 718 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: know that he was effective because he got New York's 719 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,760 Speaker 1: finest after a hard collision with Jalen Brunson. The chance 720 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: broke out at Madison Square Garden after Joel Embiid colliding 721 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: with Jalen Brunson fmb and you know what that word is. 722 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: I better not say it or I might cause a 723 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: profit for myself. Those were the chance at Madison Square Garden. 724 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: Stay classy out there, Fmbid after he collided with Jalen Brunson. Key. 725 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: Remember a left knee injury in particular is concerning for Embiid. 726 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: He missed more than two months of the regular season. 727 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: He had surgery on the same knee. He made his 728 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: return just April second, but he didn't play in the 729 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: Sixers final season game. Let's hope these players stay healthy. 730 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: The NBA playoffs is so much better when players are healthy. 731 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: And I'd love to see Ben Malders Clippers make a 732 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 1: run coming up, Mark Madeena Medina Magic Keep it locked. 733 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: It's the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

Here on the West Coast, we bring you 744 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: Mark Medina, our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. Mark four 745 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: games today for home winners, and I want to start 746 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: with I wasn't going to do this, but I'm going 747 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: to start with the Lakers Denver because it was a 748 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: tail of two games, and I have to believe it 749 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: was the Lakers' worst nightmare because they came out like 750 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: a house fire. And then after that, Denver said, okay, 751 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: you've had enough. Your thoughts on what your takeaways are 752 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 1: today's game. 753 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 7: Yeah. My thoughts were that Lebron played really well, same 754 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 7: thing with Anthony Davis, but they need help with their 755 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 7: supporting cast. I mean, D'Angel Russell shot the ball almost 756 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 7: as poorly as he shot the ball last year against 757 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 7: Denver in the Western Conference Finals, and there was some 758 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 7: thought going in that this would be his bounce back 759 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 7: redemption series after playing so well recently and hitting so 760 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 7: many shots against New Orleans. And I think that's the 761 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 7: least that they can have a definitive third option because 762 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 7: the Nuggets, they're a well oiled machine. It might be competitive, 763 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 7: but historically they've reeled off runs in the fourth quarter, 764 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 7: especially in crunch time. In this time, it was a 765 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 7: third quarter. So it just feels like the Lakers have 766 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 7: to play on most nearly perfect basketball just to give 767 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 7: themselves any sliver chances of winning in this series. 768 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: Well said, Lebron played forty one minutes today, Anthony Davis 769 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: played forty four. And I'm glad you mentioned D'Angelo Russell 770 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: because I talked about that in the open. Denver is 771 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: making him look unplayable because they know how to exploit 772 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: him on offense and know how to deny him shots 773 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: on defense. D'Angelo Russell was only one of nine from 774 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: behind the ark. That's not good. I am predicting you're 775 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 1: going to see more Gabe Vincent in Game two. Am 776 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: I wrong? 777 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 7: I don't think that you're wrong, but I think that 778 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 7: in fairness to D'Angelo, he did start the game off 779 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 7: well with attacking the rim, being aggressive. Even though he 780 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 7: was missing a lot of threes, I think that he 781 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 7: was still engaged in the game. But yeah, to your point, 782 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 7: it's the bottom line, the results business with professional sports, 783 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 7: and so I think that they want to give him 784 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 7: the benefit of doubt a little bit, But at some 785 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 7: point the Lakers are going to be about trying to 786 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 7: win games. So if D'Angel Russell doesn't bounce back in 787 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 7: Game two, you're going to see a lot more of 788 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 7: Gabe Vincent moving forward, because one of the reasons why 789 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 7: they got him in the first place was a felt, hey, 790 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 7: he is a great guy that knows how to defend, 791 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 7: he can pass the ball, he's not worried about shooting, 792 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 7: and they haven't been able to really benefit from that 793 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 7: all season because he's had a lot of injuries. But 794 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 7: no doubt he is a potential X factor because of 795 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 7: how important he checks all the other intangibles. 796 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: Final thing on that game, once Stenver found their sea 797 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: legs after six days off, and I don't think they 798 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 1: showed any rust personally, the Lakers as the game went 799 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: on in the second half, to me, started to look 800 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: a little tired. They started to make some bad decisions. 801 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: They had several possessions that were really less than spectacular, 802 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: including one r Anthony Davis threw up a three point 803 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: attempt and that, to be was metaphorical that they got 804 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,479 Speaker 1: to a point they just couldn't do what they wanted 805 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: to do anymore. 806 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's really fascinating because the Lakers one of 807 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 7: the reasons why they wanted to win the playing game 808 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 7: instead of trying to be strategic to void Denver in 809 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 7: the first round, they knew the added benefit of getting rest. 810 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 7: And when he looked at the fact that, you know, 811 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 7: last season they were one of many reasons why they've 812 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 7: lost the Nuggets is that they're feeling fatigue. Gas Lebron 813 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 7: and ad weren't fully one hundred percent, and they showed 814 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 7: signs that they were freshed, but as the game wore 815 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 7: on and the men's piled up, he started seeing them 816 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 7: wear down. But I think moving forward, the Lakers really 817 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 7: have no choice buddling on them because it's crunch time, 818 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 7: it's the playoffs, this is what it's all about. But 819 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 7: I think at least to relieve their responsibility, there has 820 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 7: to be another player that steps up. I mean Austin 821 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 7: Reeves was serviceable. Same thing with early Atcha Mora. But 822 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 7: you need to have someone who's making a lot more 823 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 7: plays than Dangel Russell was able to make. 824 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't. I couldn't agree more. So, let's have 825 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 1: a little word association fun here, because there are a 826 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: lot of players I think that are feeling pressure. Let's 827 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: start with Kevin Durant. He's thirty six years old. Minnesota 828 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: looked pretty good tonight, So let's have a little name 829 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: association fund who's under more pressure? Kevin Durant or Deem 830 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,879 Speaker 1: Lillard wanted out of Portland got what he wanted. Who's 831 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: face more pressure? 832 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 7: I would say Damian Lillard. I mean, Kevin Durant has 833 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 7: already won titles. I know that. You know a lot 834 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,240 Speaker 7: of people diminished that because he was at the Golden 835 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 7: State Warriors. If I think he earned those titles, he 836 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 7: won finals MVP with Damian Lillard. You know, he wanted 837 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 7: to go to Milwaukee because he was tired of being 838 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 7: in that Hampshire Wheel experience in Portland where you know, 839 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 7: they're a good, dangerous team in the first round of 840 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,439 Speaker 7: the playoffs and probably nothing else. And you know he 841 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 7: finally after pledging so much loyalty of Portland understandably won 842 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 7: to find a place that would give him the best 843 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 7: chance to win. Now, I think in fairness to Damian Loward, 844 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 7: he has played the right way. His chemistry Donisonstokumpo is 845 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 7: really good. The Bucks larger struggles is that they really 846 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 7: missed true holiday. But yeah, I will say this, Damian 847 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 7: Lillard didder more pressure because he hasn't wonted title. 848 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: Is well said, all right, Kevin Durant, Or let's do 849 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: it two for here, Jalen Brown, who's played in five 850 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: conference finals and Jason Titten, who's played in four conference finals. 851 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,280 Speaker 1: Both of them played in the twenty twenty two NBA Finals, 852 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: but both of them have the same number of championships 853 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: you and I have. So who's good into more pressure? 854 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,320 Speaker 1: The Jason Jalen, Jason Twins or Kevin Durant. 855 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 7: Yeah, the Celtics steel will have more pressure. They've you know, 856 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 7: tasted the NBA finals two years ago. They went through 857 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 7: a lot of lights of passage moments in the Eastern 858 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,760 Speaker 7: Conference finals earlier in their career, and they couldn't solve 859 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 7: the riddle that is Lebron James when he was with Cleveland. 860 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 7: So they've had all those moments of knocking down the door. 861 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 7: Now is the time to bust the door open. That 862 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 7: being said, if they lose to the NBA Finals to 863 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 7: the Denver Nuggets, I'm not going to say it's a 864 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 7: failed season. The Nuggets are probably a better team, but 865 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 7: they got to get to the finals. From the Eastern Conference. 866 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,800 Speaker 7: There is no team, barring series injury to the roster, 867 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 7: that can seriously threaten them in the East. So yeah, 868 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 7: they had a lot more pressure. I think the being 869 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 7: that we're going to gather here, if you're going to 870 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 7: continue to use Kevin Durant as yours, I think a 871 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 7: lot more stars in the NBA that face more pressure 872 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 7: than Katie. At this point, I'm only going to. 873 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,879 Speaker 1: Use one more, kad or Jalen Brunson, who's clearly an 874 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 1: All star in all NBA. Choice who's under more pressure, 875 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson or Kevin Durant. 876 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 7: Wow, you stump me here. Actually I would say Kevin 877 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 7: Durant has more pressure because I think that Jalen Brunson. 878 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 7: I think with the knick Zeroms playing with house money once, 879 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 7: once it was clear that Julius Randall would be out 880 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 7: for the playoffs. I don't think that they had a 881 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 7: lot of expectations. Now that being said, the Knicks have 882 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 7: been started for championship success for quite a while. It 883 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 7: is a big market and they want to win. But 884 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 7: I think when you're looking at the expectations that the 885 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,919 Speaker 7: Suns had with just putting so much salary that Matti 886 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 7: Spear was able to was willing to front in the 887 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 7: hopes of winning the title. With Durant, Devin Booker and 888 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 7: Bradley Beal, they face a lot more pressure because if 889 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 7: they don't win. I don't want to say that that 890 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, that Big three is gone, but 891 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 7: there's gonna be other changes that they've already made. It's 892 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 7: hard to imagine what they are because they already made 893 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 7: a head coaching change. So yeah, interesting stuff all around. Therefore, 894 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 7: Kevin Durant's got more pressure. 895 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: I'm in agreement and I'll tell you why. Look what 896 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 1: happens Saturday. Brunson had an un characteristically off night, but 897 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: Josh Hart, Douce McBride, Mitchell Robinson coming off the bench, 898 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: they all stepped up to provide support. Can that continue 899 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 1: the Knicks? If that can continue, I think the Knicks 900 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,800 Speaker 1: are a serious contender. 901 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 7: Your thoughts, Yeah, I think that they're a serious contender 902 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 7: to get to the Eastern Conference Finals and play competitively 903 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,720 Speaker 7: against Boston. But again, barring any injury, the Celtics still 904 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 7: have a lot more separation. But I think when you're 905 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 7: looking at the Eastern Conference landscape, there are a lot 906 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 7: of teams on paper that seem to be better than 907 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,840 Speaker 7: the mix the box, but we've talked about there inconsistent issues, 908 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 7: most notably on defense. The Sixers should be better, but 909 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 7: you know, they fell to the seventh seed because of 910 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,800 Speaker 7: shoe O Embiide's injury, and we'll see to what extent 911 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 7: his injury scare in Game one. We'll catch up to 912 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 7: him later on in the series. You know, Cleveland, they're 913 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,399 Speaker 7: a nice team, but don't I don't think I think 914 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 7: they're sailing second round. So, yeah, the Knicks can overachieve, 915 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 7: but it'll stop once they meet the Sellers. 916 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: Talk with Mark Medina or Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru. 917 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,240 Speaker 1: You hear him with me every Saturday night at midnight 918 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 1: on the Bernie Frattle Show. Let's talk about the team 919 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: that faced Kevin Durant tonight. You know, Mark pride comes 920 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 1: before the fall. But Minnesota looked awfully good and Anthony 921 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: Edwards was beating his chest hitting three pointers. Kevin Durant 922 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: tried to get there was just a titch lake. The 923 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: Wolves again looked really good. Can they be this good? 924 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: Obviously they've got Denver in the West, but could they 925 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 1: get to the conference finals? 926 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 7: I think so. I think they're the real deal. I 927 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 7: would give the extra Denver because of their continuity, but 928 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 7: I think it fairness of Minnesota. They're not a quote 929 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 7: unquote young team that doesn't know how to win. They 930 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 7: have some veterans with Rudy Golbert and Mike Connelly. They 931 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 7: have a lot of really great talent with Aunt and 932 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 7: Carl Anthony Towns. I think one of these things that 933 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 7: we've seen through this late season is that they really 934 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 7: learned to lean on their depths when Carl Anthony Towns 935 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,439 Speaker 7: was out for injury. Now that he's back, they're even 936 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 7: the better team. But keep in mind when Anthony Edwards 937 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 7: had early fout trouble in the first half, I think 938 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,280 Speaker 7: that that experience of learning how to play without kat 939 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 7: in bolding guys like nas Reed and Mike Conley and 940 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 7: Rudy Goldbert to really step up their game a little bit, 941 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 7: as well as Nickklee Alexander Walker. So then you know, 942 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 7: once Aunt came back in the second half, it was 943 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 7: his show. And I'm not saying this, I think that sometimes, 944 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 7: you know, people lean on these go to bates too much. 945 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 7: But I know, talking to Jade McDaniels earlier this season 946 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 7: before the playoffs, he was saying that Anthony Anthony Edwards 947 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 7: reminds him of Michael Jordan with just his mannerisms to 948 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 7: step back fataways, his competitive this and you know, I 949 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,320 Speaker 7: wouldn't say there's a comparison per se, but he definitely 950 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 7: showed those kind of mannerisms in that second half with 951 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 7: a lot of great play and then backing up with 952 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,440 Speaker 7: some nice trash talk against Kevin Durumt. 953 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the playoffs today and the thing that stuck 954 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 1: up to me with the Timber Bowls, I mean, you 955 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 1: got to be impressed with their size and their defense. 956 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: John Wooden once said there's a place in heaven for rebounders. 957 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 1: They outrebounded the Suns fifty two to twenty eight. This 958 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 1: is the NBA fifty two to twenty twelve mark I 959 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: mean again, you know, when you have that kind of performance, 960 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: you really got to pay attention. 961 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 7: Wow, Here's here's what it comes down to. I think 962 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 7: that Minnesota's shown that this Rudy Gobert trade was actually 963 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 7: a good trade. I mean, it was lampoon last season 964 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,240 Speaker 7: because of their chemistry issues. But Rudy Goberts getting sixteen 965 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 7: rebounds and he Edwards nine. You know, karl On and 966 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 7: Town's getting seven. They have a lot of good size 967 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 7: in the front corner when you're looking at the Suns, 968 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 7: I understand why they traded the under but also came 969 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 7: at a cost. Joseph Nurkic he's a great screener, passer teammate, 970 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 7: but he's not a good defender. He's not a good rebounder. 971 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,240 Speaker 7: They really don't have any size. It really just depends 972 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 7: on Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker scoring offensively, 973 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 7: and that chemistry has been great. But they need a 974 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 7: lot more than that. And so I think that moving forward, 975 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 7: it seems likely that Minnesota is going to have a 976 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 7: field day on the glass. And the only way that 977 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 7: the Suns keep it competitive is in fact they can 978 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 7: get to track me with lean on their big three 979 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 7: to just make a bunch of baskets. 980 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: Mark your referenced to Karl Anthony Towns in his health, 981 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 1: and I talked earlier about Joel Embiid, and I want 982 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 1: these players to be healthy. We're twelve hours away from 983 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 1: tip off and the Clippers will face Dallas and the 984 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: gentleman by the name of Kawhi Leonard hasn't played since 985 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: March thirty. First, are we going to see him on 986 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: the floor Sunday, Well. 987 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 7: The Clippers have listened to him as questionable for Sunday 988 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 7: against the Mavericks. I would be very surprised if he 989 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 7: You know what, he has not done a full contact practice. 990 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 7: And you might think, well, it's the playoffs. What do 991 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 7: you mean he doesn't need to practice. Well, I think 992 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 7: Kawhi Leonard needs a practice because history has shown when 993 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 7: he hasn't had a proper ramp up, he gets hurt again. 994 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 7: I think the problem here is the Clippers this don't 995 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 7: have a lot of practice schedules. Now that the playoffs 996 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,399 Speaker 7: are about to start. You know, they'll have Game two 997 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 7: on Tuesday, They'll have Game three on Friday, so maybe 998 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 7: that extra day will give him the practice. But this 999 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 7: is a gigantic red flag, and Bernie, you shouldn't be 1000 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 7: surprised nowither should listeners. I was founding the alarm bells 1001 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,439 Speaker 7: last week to pay attention if he gets any practice time, 1002 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 7: any contact, and we then have learned that the only 1003 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,799 Speaker 7: practice he got with some shooting drills, nothing else, and 1004 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 7: the Clippers there being a little bit more forthcoming where 1005 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 7: Lawrence Sprink was, you know, con seeing the fact that 1006 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 7: his inflammation has been stubborn and unpredictable. Well, uh, there's 1007 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,799 Speaker 7: nothing structurally wrong with his knee, but you know, it 1008 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 7: doesn't take an MD to be concerned because of his 1009 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 7: previous injury history. So yeah, I would be surprised if 1010 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 7: he plays tomorrow. And then we'll see if the Clippers 1011 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,280 Speaker 7: are actually going to be able to have a practice 1012 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 7: on Monday so that he has a proper ramp up 1013 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:19,800 Speaker 7: to return to plug. 1014 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 1: I've been concerned. I told you about my my daughter's 1015 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 1: situation with her knie and she played Division one soccer. 1016 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't swell up for no reason real quickly. I've 1017 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: got to I've got to address this because I think 1018 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 1: the Timberwolves are a great story. But Mark, can you 1019 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,359 Speaker 1: share with the folks, there's a legitimate ownership dispute going 1020 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,399 Speaker 1: on in Minnesota and can that you know, how might 1021 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,879 Speaker 1: that affect a team in the playoffs? 1022 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 7: Well, it's not ideal, but I think in the short term, 1023 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 7: I don't think it really affects anything in the playoffs 1024 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 7: because you know, the backstory is that Glenn Taylor was 1025 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 7: going to sell his majority shares to Mark lore And 1026 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 7: and Alex Rodriguez, and they felt Glenn Taylor felt like 1027 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 7: they were late with, you know, making certain payments done 1028 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 7: on time. Alex Rodriguez will tell you that they're ready 1029 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,319 Speaker 7: to and Mark Laura were law ready to make all 1030 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,799 Speaker 7: the payments do at the deadline. So there is some 1031 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 7: heath that she said. But I think it's a concerning 1032 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 7: point for future seasons. But I don't think it's going 1033 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 7: to derail anything with this year's playoff team. This is 1034 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 7: going to be settled through litigation. It's a lengthy process. 1035 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,240 Speaker 7: The playoffs are long, but it only takes two months. 1036 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 7: So I don't think it's going to be a factor. 1037 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 7: But I think moving forward in future seasons it could 1038 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 7: be a factor because we'll see to what extent does 1039 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 7: either party really care about, you know, putting a championship 1040 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 7: team together as opposed to worrying about luxury tax applications. 1041 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 7: But as far as this year's playoff is concerned, the 1042 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 7: Wolves fans can just enjoy Anthony Edwards, Carl Anthony Towns, 1043 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 7: Rudy Gobert, and the rest of their talented cast, and 1044 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,879 Speaker 7: there's a lot of them, Nasried, Mike Conley, Jane McDaniels. 1045 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 7: It's been a pretty fun team to watch, absolutely all right. 1046 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: Last one for me, Mark, Last Saturday, at this time, 1047 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 1: you correctly predicted that the Lakers would in fact be 1048 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 1: playing today, they would make the playoffs and survive the 1049 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 1: playing round, which they did. Infected. Before Saturday night, the 1050 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 1: Lakers had won six straight road games, but Denver had 1051 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 1: beaten the Lakers eight and Uarrosa something had to give 1052 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,919 Speaker 1: Saturday night. So Game two is Monday in Denver, Game 1053 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 1: three is Thursday in Los Angeles. Game four Saturday in 1054 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. When we are talking to you in this 1055 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 1: spot next Saturday night, would the Lakers still be in 1056 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 1057 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 7: That's a very good question. I don't know how each 1058 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 7: game is going to play out because it's so unpredictable, 1059 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 7: but I think that this series goes to six games 1060 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,919 Speaker 7: in favor of the Nuggets. So yes, I do think 1061 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 7: that by the time we're talking next Saturday, we'll have 1062 00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 7: just finished Game four in LA. I don't know who's 1063 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,520 Speaker 7: winning Game two, three, or four. All I think all 1064 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 7: I know and can anticipate that the Nuggets will win 1065 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 7: in six in some way, shape or form. 1066 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 1: Mark, great stuff as always, look forward to having you 1067 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:13,839 Speaker 1: next Saturday night as well. 1068 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:15,840 Speaker 7: I appreciate you guys. 1069 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: It's Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night and Bernie 1070 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 1: Frattle Show at twelve midnight. He's our Fox Sports Radio 1071 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: NBA guru. All right, we turned our attention, as we should, 1072 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft. There's a lot to unpack, but 1073 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: I want to start with this. Did the New England 1074 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 1: Patriots perhaps drop a hint about who their team's draft 1075 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: preference might be. I'll share with you what we heard. 1076 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Company Life from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, 1077 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: tirect dot com studios. Keep it locked right here. You're 1078 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,840 Speaker 1: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 1079 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 1: All right, back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports 1080 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 1: Radio Comedy Live from the Tarach dot Com studios here 1081 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. The draft is Thursday. Will all be watching, 1082 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: you know you will, And the team drafting third overall 1083 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: happens to be the New England Patriots. Did their GM 1084 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 1: drop a hint about who they might draft, Well, let's 1085 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: unpack this for a second. The Pats, in theory have 1086 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: a chance to land a potential franchise quarterback with the 1087 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 1: third overall pick. But they're playing games. They're talking about, 1088 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 1: maybe we'll move back in the draft, they'll still get 1089 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: who we want. Maybe we'll look for a haul, We'll 1090 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 1: trade that number three pick. Overall, the Pats are quote 1091 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: open for business in the first round, in any round. 1092 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: Yeah great, we haven't heard we've heard that before, right, 1093 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: all that pablom in fifty cents that gets you a 1094 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 1: cup of coffee at Carls Junior. I don't even know 1095 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 1: if they still coffee there. Elliott Wolf there, you know 1096 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 1: he In terms of Elliot Wolf's the GM I'm talking about, 1097 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: He's the one that set are open for business. We 1098 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: got a lot of holes to fill. But maybe we 1099 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,439 Speaker 1: trade down. The more picks we have we're better off. 1100 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: Or we can keep the number three pick and not 1101 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 1: draft the quarterback. Okay, that pretty much covers all of it. 1102 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 1: You didn't really say. You said a lot without saying anything. However, 1103 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 1: he did say that they would need to be blown 1104 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 1: away to trade that third overall pick. There have been 1105 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 1: discussions about, you know, trading that pick, but he admitted 1106 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 1: no team has offered quote the proverbial bag for that 1107 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: number three pick. Now. Following this press conference this past week, 1108 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name of Ben Vollen the Boston 1109 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,840 Speaker 1: Globe said his biggest takeaway is that the Pats are 1110 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: genuinely hoping for a big offer for the number three pick. 1111 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 1: But if they keep the number three pick, they're content 1112 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: on using it on a quarterback. Now, No, it's not 1113 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 1: going to be Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams appears to be 1114 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: a lot to go first overall to the Chicago Bears. 1115 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 1: Very little consensus though, on how the rest of the 1116 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the draft are ranked. Now, there could be 1117 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: as many as five others taken in the first round. 1118 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Do I think that'll happen? No? Would they take a 1119 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 1: look at a Michael Penock Pinnix, I don't know. I 1120 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 1: don't think so. Would they need a significant offer for 1121 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 1: a team the steps for for a quarterback, probably, But 1122 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: the rumor that's leaking out of New England, and we 1123 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 1: will not know if it's true until next Thursday, is 1124 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: that the Pants are actually eyeing one specific quarterback at 1125 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 1: number three, and he happens to have attended the University 1126 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 1: of Michigan. Now, those reports could also be subterfuge that's 1127 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 1: leaked by the Infra street strategic purposes. And again, like 1128 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: I said, we're not going to know until the first 1129 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 1: round is underway next Thursday. But if the Newland Patriots 1130 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: actually do draft JJ McCarthy number three overall, what are 1131 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: they getting. I'm going to tell you what they're getting 1132 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 1: because the truth of the matter is, when greatness was needed, 1133 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 1: when high leverage situations demanded, a great play needed to 1134 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:13,600 Speaker 1: be made, JJ McCarthy made it. The numbers don't lie 1135 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,000 Speaker 1: when it mattered most. Bill Walsh once said, don't tell 1136 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,440 Speaker 1: me when you're talking about a quarterback. Don't tell me 1137 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 1: what he can't do, tell me what he can do. Well, 1138 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 1: I will tell you what JJ McCarthy can do and 1139 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 1: what he has done coming up. But first go back 1140 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 1: to our guy, the man for all seasons, Martin Weiss 1141 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 1: with the latest. 1142 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 9: Well, Bernie. 1143 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 8: The playoffs in both the NHL and the NBA got 1144 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 8: off to start today. 1145 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 9: Let's go ahead. Start with the NBA. 1146 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 8: The Cavaliers beat the Magic ninety seven to eighty three. 1147 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 8: Donovan Mitchell was a high man for Cleveland with thirty points. 1148 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 8: Paolo ban Carrol twenty four. Franz Wagner also had eighteen, 1149 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 8: seven rebounds and three blocks. But mag you're going to 1150 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 8: have to score more than eighty three points if they 1151 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 8: want to win the game. In this series. The Knicks 1152 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 8: beat the seventy six ers, one of them in one 1153 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 8: oh four. Jalen Brunston had twenty two points on twenty 1154 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 8: six shots, so the Knicks weren't terribly efficient offensively. Josh 1155 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 8: Hart with twenty two points thirteen rebounds. But everybody in 1156 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 8: Philly holding their breath right now is Joel Embiid reaggravated 1157 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 8: that bad knee in the third quarter. 1158 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,200 Speaker 9: He was only two four eleven after his injury. 1159 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 8: The Phoenix Suns beat the Timberwolves pretty handily in the 1160 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 8: regular season, but in the postseason none of that matters. 1161 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 8: So the Timberwolves handled the Suns one twenty to ninety five. 1162 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 8: Anthony Edwards with a huge third quarter eighteen points on 1163 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 8: the way to thirty three for the game. And the 1164 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 8: Nuggets had beaten the Lakers eight times the last eight 1165 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 8: times they played well. 1166 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 9: Last night makes it nine. They won one fourteen to 1167 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 9: one to Ozho three. 1168 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 8: Lebron had seven turnovers to go along with twenty seven 1169 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 8: points and eight assists in the loss. Three starters with 1170 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 8: double doubles for Denver Nicoli Jokis with thirty two and 1171 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 8: twelve rebounds, Lamal Murray twenty two and ten assists, Aaron 1172 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 8: Gordon with twelve points and eleven rebounds. In the NFL, 1173 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 8: the Hurricanes beat the Islanders three to one. The Bruins 1174 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 8: beat the Maple Leafs five, I've to one. Later today 1175 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 8: in the NHL playoffs, you have the Lightning versus Panthers, 1176 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 8: the Capitals and the Rangers, the Avalanche and the Jets, 1177 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 8: and the Predators play the Canucks. In the NBA, the 1178 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 8: Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat played the Dallas Mavericks 1179 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 8: and La Clippers. Get started. Like we just heard from 1180 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 8: Mark Medina, still waiting to see if Kawhi Leonard will play. 1181 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 8: I'm gonna go ahead and bet no, seeing as he 1182 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,800 Speaker 8: has not had contact in practice yet, and Bernie, you 1183 01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:30,840 Speaker 8: know what, in the NBA playoffs, contacts not optional. Indiana 1184 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 8: Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks also probably not going to 1185 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 8: see Giannis until Game three or four of that series, 1186 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 8: and the New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder, I 1187 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 8: mean Bernie. The story of the playoffs so far as 1188 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 8: you illustrated earlier injuries, there's a. 1189 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 9: Ton of them. 1190 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,480 Speaker 8: Zion Williamson out already for this one and not looking 1191 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 8: like we'll see him maybe in this whole series with 1192 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 8: his hamstring injury that he suffered in the last couple 1193 01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,400 Speaker 8: minutes of the play in game against the Los Angeles Lakers. 1194 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 8: The first playing games obviously beat the Sacramento Kings and 1195 01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 8: the second one to go ahead and get that eighth seed. 1196 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 9: But Barney back to you. 1197 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're spot on, Martin. I don't think you'll see 1198 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 1: him for a couple weeks, and you won't see Jimmy 1199 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Butler for a couple weeks. So it's a bummer. When 1200 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 1: you start adding up the names. It diminishes the luster 1201 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 1: of the NBA Playoffs. What if the New England Patriots 1202 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 1: actually do take JJ McCarthy third overall what are they 1203 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: getting now? We all know that JJ McCarthy was not 1204 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,920 Speaker 1: asked to do a lot in Michigan's offense. He was 1205 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: not asked to carry the whole team, carry the whole load, 1206 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 1: do the heavy lifting. He doesn't have a huge highlight reel, 1207 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a big time stat sheet. As a 1208 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: matter of fact, this is what bothers a lot of people. Now. 1209 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,720 Speaker 1: We all know that on the field, McCarthy was underfeedy 1210 01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: last year and he's twenty seven and one as a starter. 1211 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: That's not nothing. Complear career completion percentage of sixty eight percent, 1212 01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:59,640 Speaker 1: But in all those games, only through for sixty two 1213 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,840 Speaker 1: hundred yards, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, I'll give you 1214 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 1: all the numbers. Here's what I think spooped people about 1215 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:10,000 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. There was almost a month from November eleventh 1216 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: to December second, in which McCarthy only threw one touchdown 1217 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 1: pass and one interception total for almost a month during 1218 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 1: that stretch. In those four games against Penn State, he 1219 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 1: threw for sixty yards, through for one hundred and forty 1220 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 1: one yards against Maryland, through for one hundred and forty 1221 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 1: eight yards against Ohio, State through for one hundred and 1222 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: forty seven yards against Iowa. But here's a big but, Pewey. 1223 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 1: The Wolverines won all those games, So no one wondered 1224 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 1: why McCarthy didn't do more, because they were doing enough 1225 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:46,880 Speaker 1: to win. Now, for my money, when you look at 1226 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 1: a quarterback, I typically look at three things. How do 1227 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,920 Speaker 1: they do on third down? That's the money down, they 1228 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: don't pay it a punt. How do they do on 1229 01:05:55,120 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: third down? Well, McCarthy converted on third down. Anytime Michigan 1230 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 1: was facing a third down and they ran a pass play, 1231 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy converted that third down forty percent of the time. 1232 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,400 Speaker 1: The only quarterback in this draft that exceeded that, and 1233 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,320 Speaker 1: it was only by two percentage points, no, two tenths 1234 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 1: of a percentage point, was Jayden Daniels. McCarthy outperformed Bonix, 1235 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 1: who checked in at forty three percent, Caleb Williams at 1236 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 1: forty two percent, Drake Mayett thirty nine percent, and Michael 1237 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Pennock at thirty seven percent, All good numbers if you're 1238 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:40,040 Speaker 1: talking about converting third downs. However, McCarthy was at forty 1239 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 1: nine percent. McCarthy was always cessationial in the fourth quarter 1240 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,440 Speaker 1: as well and in the red zone. So the truth 1241 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,560 Speaker 1: of the matter, though, is if you draft JJ McCarthy, 1242 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 1: teams are going to be weary because they are stepping 1243 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 1: into the unknown because they haven't had to see a 1244 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 1: lot on film. And that's just the way Jim Harbaugh operates. 1245 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 1: You'll see it next year with the next season with 1246 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers, He's going to take a lot 1247 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: of pressure off of Justin Herbert. So as a result, 1248 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: even though McCarthy was twenty seven and one, he had 1249 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: considerably fewer passing attempts. He only had seven hundred and 1250 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 1: thirteen passing attempts in his entire Michigan career. Compare that 1251 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams, who was about eleven hundred, Drake May 1252 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,760 Speaker 1: was just under one thousand, Jade Daniels was almost fifteen hundred, 1253 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Bo Nicks two thousand, Michael Pennix seventeen hundred. So what 1254 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 1: happens you evaluate this and you say, well, I've got 1255 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 1: less evidence that JJ McCarthy can consistently threaten defenses downfield. Now, 1256 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: McCarthy didn't run the forty at the NFL Combine, but 1257 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm told he's a solid four to four at his 1258 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 1: time in Michigan, so he is a dual threat to 1259 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:59,760 Speaker 1: throw the ball and find daylight with his legs. He 1260 01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: was rarely sacked. He picked up yards on designed runs 1261 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,959 Speaker 1: a lot, and he also kept plays alive with his feet. 1262 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,160 Speaker 1: I thought it was accurate, but he did run a 1263 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: six point eight second three cone drill and that was tremendous. 1264 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: That impressed people. One thing that should not be questioned 1265 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 1: about JJ McCarthy is his toughness. He regularly hung in 1266 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: the pocket while pressure was bearing down on him still 1267 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 1: through strikes downfield, despite getting hammered and dealing with incoming contact. 1268 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,479 Speaker 1: You can go back and watch the film. McCarthy waits, 1269 01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,320 Speaker 1: waits in the pocket, lets the play develop, puts the 1270 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,680 Speaker 1: ball right on the money, and then he's hit. Now, 1271 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 1: sometimes his decision making with pressure bearing down was not 1272 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: always the greatest, but that can come with experience. Okay, 1273 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,600 Speaker 1: he perhaps has to learn when to give up on 1274 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 1: a play and throw it away rather than taking a sack. 1275 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 1: I get that. But McCarthy's footwork is better than people realize, 1276 01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: and he was always in position to throw. I was 1277 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,320 Speaker 1: maneuvered around the pocket in a way that for me 1278 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:08,280 Speaker 1: was way above average. Now, Jim Harbaugh has been, you know, 1279 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 1: singing his praises, and why wouldn't he He won him 1280 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 1: a national championship. And from what I saw, McCarthy's not 1281 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 1: afraid to throw the ball over the middle of the field. 1282 01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: He's not afraid to carve up the middle of the field. 1283 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,439 Speaker 1: He's not afraid the target receivers at a higher rate 1284 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,680 Speaker 1: in those high traffic areas compared to other quarterbacks. And 1285 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:33,839 Speaker 1: he was very accurate. And I realized that some people 1286 01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 1: feel that Jim Harbaugh's lack of reliance on JJ McCarthy 1287 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:43,760 Speaker 1: was concerning, but they won. I remember I was part 1288 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,719 Speaker 1: of the Lions pre and post broadcast team from ninety 1289 01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 1: eight to eight. Now, I remember in two thousand and 1290 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,840 Speaker 1: six we do draft shows every year. Everybody was gaga 1291 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,559 Speaker 1: about this dude out of Vanderbilt named Jay Cutler. He 1292 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,519 Speaker 1: could throw a football a long you know, he could 1293 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,800 Speaker 1: throw a football like a gul Rico for crying out loud, 1294 01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Uncle Rico, our man, you know, Napoleon Dynamite. So where 1295 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,559 Speaker 1: am I going with this? He had a canon army, 1296 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 1: could throw the ball through a brick wall. But I 1297 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 1: looked at his record and said, wait a minute, he 1298 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 1: didn't win anything at Vanderbilt. Okay, I guess it, Vanderbilt, 1299 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: I get it. But you know what, show me the 1300 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 1: list of guys who couldn't win games in college, but 1301 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:19,719 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they show up at the NFL 1302 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,479 Speaker 1: and start winning games. That Couler had an okay career. Okay, 1303 01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is, you know, putting Jay Cutler 1304 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 1: on their mountin Rushmore. Even though he could throw a 1305 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:33,639 Speaker 1: football about nine thousand yards. Well, he didn't win games, 1306 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:38,080 Speaker 1: did he. Well, McCarthy won games. He won games. To me, 1307 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:44,120 Speaker 1: that truly matters. And McCarthy does have better arm strength 1308 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:49,440 Speaker 1: than people realize. And part of the reason that McCarthy 1309 01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,599 Speaker 1: has such good arm strength is that he's very agile. 1310 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 1: His lower base is very agile, his lower half is 1311 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,839 Speaker 1: very balanced. He can rip it, He rips his throws. 1312 01:10:58,080 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: He just didn't. He wasn't asked to do a lot. 1313 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,760 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna surprise people. So what do the 1314 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 1: scouts really say about McCarthy's accuracy and his pocket presence, 1315 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,320 Speaker 1: and his decision making and his playmaking and his toughness. 1316 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna share coming up, because if he's drafted high again, 1317 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 1: back to Bill Walsh.

Well, what do the stats say? A lot 1346 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 1: of statisticians have pulled accuracy percentage, average depth of target, 1347 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:04,679 Speaker 1: big time throw rate, turnover worthy play rate, run grade. 1348 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 1: These are from sophisticated organizations like Pro Football Focus, etc. 1349 01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 1: EPA per play which means expected points added, and they 1350 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 1: took things from College Football Data dot Com. From the 1351 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:23,080 Speaker 1: top sixteen quarterbacks of the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, 1352 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 1: These are sixteen quarterbacks that have been evaluated. You look 1353 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,960 Speaker 1: at the draft class and you standardize, you average them. 1354 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: Believe it or not. JJ mccarthury rank third out of 1355 01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,679 Speaker 1: all sixteen quarterbacks, only behind Jade Daniels and Drake May. 1356 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,759 Speaker 1: When you combine those six metrics into one standardized average. 1357 01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,680 Speaker 1: Mcarthury rank second inaccuracy rate I told you now, he 1358 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 1: was eleventh, and average depth of target. That's just because 1359 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,080 Speaker 1: Michigan's offense was a horse and buggy offense. That's just 1360 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 1: what they do. Thanks to mister Edford checking in and 1361 01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. But he was eighth and big time 1362 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 1: throw rate, eighth, lowest in turnover worthy play rate, fifth 1363 01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 1: and run grade, and fourth in EPA play He was productive, 1364 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:15,280 Speaker 1: very productive. And Michael Pennix was fourth, Caleb Williams was sixth, 1365 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: bow Knicks was eighth, JJ McCarthy was second. These numbers 1366 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 1: don't really lie. Now. McCarthy ranked eighth as Pro Football 1367 01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 1: Focuses deep passing grade this season. He was twenty five 1368 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,439 Speaker 1: or forty six for seven hundred and six yards with 1369 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns in one interception on targets of twenty plus yards. 1370 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 1: I think that's impressive. Seventy three percent under pressure passing 1371 01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,479 Speaker 1: grade ranked fifth out of one hundred and twenty three 1372 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: fully qualified FBS quarterbacks. He was only below bow Knicks 1373 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:57,840 Speaker 1: on this situation. Obviously, in Oregon, they ran a much 1374 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:03,200 Speaker 1: more dynamic offense in terms of there's you know their scheme. Now, 1375 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy's pressure to sack rate was sixteen percent, That 1376 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 1: seventh lowest among the top sixteen quarterbacks and better than 1377 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: Drake May, Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams. Means he gets 1378 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,519 Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands, which means he's keeping 1379 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 1: his eyes downfield. Now. JJ McCarthy's clean pocket passing grade 1380 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 1: ranked twenty sixth, below Williams, Daniels Penix Nicks. In May, 1381 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 1: his average two point eight second time getting rid of 1382 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the pocket did rank. Let me go back and see 1383 01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,680 Speaker 1: that again in English. He got the ball out of 1384 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 1: his hands in two point eight seconds when he was 1385 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 1: in the pocket. That ranked the highest in college football. 1386 01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 1: That tells me a lot. Now, of the sixteen quarterbacks 1387 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,720 Speaker 1: pulled for the standardized study, Okay, believe it or not, 1388 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,919 Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels ranked fourth slowest, only behind Williams Daniels. 1389 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,120 Speaker 1: Now McCarthy's average time to throw was two point six seconds, 1390 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 1: which was tied for fourth slowest among sixteen quarterbacks. However, 1391 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,800 Speaker 1: when he was about to be sacked again, these numbers 1392 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,599 Speaker 1: start to jumble your brand. So I'm gonna get off 1393 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,720 Speaker 1: the numbers here's the bottom line. What's the verdict on 1394 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:22,320 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. Scouts They like his arm strength, they like 1395 01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 1: his mobility, they like his leadership, they're like his toughness, 1396 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 1: they like his ability to throw on the move. Now 1397 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: I get it, no one can know what the brain 1398 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,519 Speaker 1: is gonna argue that J. J. McCarthy possesses Caleb Williams 1399 01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 1: or Jayden Daniel's elite playmaking ability or athleticism he doesn't, 1400 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 1: or maybe Drake May's overall build, or he doesn't maybe 1401 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,719 Speaker 1: have elite NFL arm talent. But one of the things 1402 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 1: NFL teams value are intangibles, and McCarthy has enough tools 1403 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 1: to be considered mouldible in the NFL, and his intangibles 1404 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 1: are through the roof. And his age is a major advantage. 1405 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 1: He's only twenty one years old over say older prospects 1406 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 1: like Jaden Daniels. All right, there's a lot of projection 1407 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: involved with McCarthy. Truly winds up being drafted in the 1408 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,559 Speaker 1: top five, it will only add to the pressure. They're 1409 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,400 Speaker 1: going to scrutinize him even more so. But when you 1410 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:21,240 Speaker 1: look at again, the key things his accuracy. He's accurate 1411 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 1: on all three levels. He has plus accuracy when he's 1412 01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 1: in rhythm. That's what Scotts are saying. His pocket presence, well, 1413 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,040 Speaker 1: he's poised. He's got a legit pocket presence now and 1414 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 1: then he'll hitch. He will have a situation where he 1415 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,680 Speaker 1: has to escape and extend to play. And for the 1416 01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:44,480 Speaker 1: most part of his decision makings is, you know, pretty good. 1417 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,640 Speaker 1: I think his decision making has been pretty good. He's 1418 01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,559 Speaker 1: been scouted as a very good decision maker. And he's 1419 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 1: efficient because it was a run heavy offense, so he 1420 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 1: had to play with you know, within the framework of 1421 01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 1: his offense. But another key thing, and you know this, 1422 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 1: this very much matters. Just ask Mac Jones, Just ask 1423 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, just ask you know, justin fields, toughness. Toughness 1424 01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 1: is key. JJ McCarthy's toughness is used as a positive 1425 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 1: by multiple scouts, who also noted he has a little 1426 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 1: bit of a smaller stature. He measured six two hundred 1427 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,080 Speaker 1: nineteen pounds, but he was actually listed at just under 1428 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and two pounds in college. So you add 1429 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 1: all that up and when scouts call him a very 1430 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,680 Speaker 1: good leader and he'll get to a bigger frame. His 1431 01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 1: playmaking ability his athleticism were actually praised by scouts. He's 1432 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,599 Speaker 1: a really good athlete. He can scramble, he can throw 1433 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 1: on the move, he's accurate, he makes good decisions, and 1434 01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 1: he's tough. Mostly he won games twenty seven and one. 1435 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,880 Speaker 1: You can't take that away from JJ McCarthy. What are 1436 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 1: you getting? I think you're getting a lot coming up. 1437 01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: Let's look at the other big name quarterbacks.

Martin, I 1453 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,599 Speaker 1: know you were as invested in Michigan football as anybody 1454 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: before I got to get to some of these other 1455 01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that the scouts are talking about. You heard me 1456 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:04,080 Speaker 1: go through a good twenty minute dissertation on on JJ McCarthy. There, 1457 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,759 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on JJ McCarthy. 1458 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 9: Uh, it's hard for me to see where. 1459 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 8: I kind of feel like he's reaching a level of 1460 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:16,280 Speaker 8: hype that has surpassed where his play showed me last year. 1461 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,479 Speaker 8: I know he wasn't asked to do much, but I 1462 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 8: found myself Bernie, especially in the College Football Playoff, yelling 1463 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 8: at the TV. 1464 01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 9: Run the ball more. 1465 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,400 Speaker 8: Like I and I just wanted them to take the 1466 01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:29,920 Speaker 8: ball out of his hands and put it into the 1467 01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,040 Speaker 8: arms of Blake Korum and Donovan Edwards. 1468 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,560 Speaker 9: H As far as his his. 1469 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,559 Speaker 8: His tenure as a pro, I do think he's calm 1470 01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,320 Speaker 8: under pressure, but uh, every so often, like if Caleb 1471 01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:42,760 Speaker 8: Downs had a size shoe, Let's say he wears a ten. 1472 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,600 Speaker 8: If you wore an eight, that would have been an 1473 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,000 Speaker 8: interception on the first drive of the College of the role. 1474 01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:47,599 Speaker 1: Remember that. 1475 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think things would have been an entirely 1476 01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 8: it would have been an entirely different story. 1477 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,320 Speaker 9: Now it wasn't, So it wasn't. 1478 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,599 Speaker 8: And you hear the same thing about Kevin Durant shoe 1479 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,600 Speaker 8: in the Eastern Conference semifinals or whatever that was against Milwaukee. 1480 01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:00,280 Speaker 9: You know, if he. 1481 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 8: Had his size twelve in is out of his eyes fourteen, 1482 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 8: that would have advanced. 1483 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 9: But they didn't. So it doesn't matter. 1484 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 8: But as far as projecting him out to him being 1485 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:11,720 Speaker 8: drafted as high as it seems like he's going to go, 1486 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,920 Speaker 8: is just something I never I never saw when I 1487 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,719 Speaker 8: was watching Michigan football, And as you know, I watched 1488 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:19,360 Speaker 8: all of what twenty eight of those starts. 1489 01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 1: Hop out the trick play though, when they threw the 1490 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,120 Speaker 1: ball and he threw it back to him and the 1491 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 1: throw was high, he had to pull it down with 1492 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 1: one hand and turn it like a double play, like 1493 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:32,280 Speaker 1: a second baseman. He has a knack for making those plays. 1494 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:36,400 Speaker 1: And you're not wrong. And I also noticed that he 1495 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 1: had that tennessee the old Matt stafford, roll right, roll right, 1496 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 1: roll right, throw it into a seat of hands. He's 1497 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,759 Speaker 1: going to have to lose that he's not a finished product, 1498 01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 1: but I got a feeling he might be better than 1499 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,960 Speaker 1: people think. Now, do you think one last question, do 1500 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: you think he goes in the top five or when 1501 01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,160 Speaker 1: reality hits on Thursday night, that's just simply not gonna happen. 1502 01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,559 Speaker 8: I will say no, I do not think he goes 1503 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 8: in the t five. If he does, it'll be because 1504 01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,000 Speaker 8: somebody trades up into those spots because they're worried that 1505 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,519 Speaker 8: someone else is going to take him, Like Minnesota my 1506 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,680 Speaker 8: package eleven and twenty three to go ahead and try 1507 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,559 Speaker 8: to jump up ahead of another quarterback hungry team who 1508 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,360 Speaker 8: could trade into five, six or seven. 1509 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 9: I think that would be the reality. 1510 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 8: But if the draft, if the draft remains as it 1511 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,640 Speaker 8: stands right now, one through ten, I think JJ McCarthy 1512 01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 8: goes out of the top ten. 1513 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 1: Okay, good answer, fair enough. It's going to be interesting 1514 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 1: to watch. I think there's probably a seventy percent chance 1515 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,479 Speaker 1: what you describe happens. We'll see. I think there's there 1516 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,679 Speaker 1: is a chance, say at least a thirty percent chance 1517 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 1: that he you know, he he ends up sneaking his 1518 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:45,799 Speaker 1: way into you know, fourth. I could see that happening. 1519 01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, Scotts have talked about whether or not the 1520 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: JJ pipe is real. I think it is. I know 1521 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: many personnel executives like JJ McCarthy over Drake May. They 1522 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 1: believe he's very talent. He is, you know, play processing 1523 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,800 Speaker 1: and tangibles matter, okay. And the truth of the matter is, 1524 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 1: I think when when you look at his production and 1525 01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:14,920 Speaker 1: when he was asked to do what he was asked 1526 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,160 Speaker 1: to do, when he was asked to do it, it 1527 01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: was in canny that he was able to convert those 1528 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:25,600 Speaker 1: plays at such a high level. Fifty six percent of 1529 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy's pass attempts in twenty twenty three resulted in a 1530 01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 1: first down or a touchdown that ranks number one overall 1531 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 1: in FBS. Is it not presumed that if he was 1532 01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,479 Speaker 1: asked to do more, he could have done more. And 1533 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 1: the truth of the matters, you just got to search 1534 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 1: high and low because he is the highlight reels not 1535 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 1: there didn't He just doesn't have the attempts and the 1536 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:52,559 Speaker 1: you know, the playmaking sensation that the other quarterbacks did 1537 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 1: because of the other offenses they ran. But everybody's agreement 1538 01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 1: is an agreement that McCarthy is a winner and he 1539 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:03,160 Speaker 1: has all the tangibles, even though you know, and by 1540 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 1: the way, I don't think anybody disagrees that McCarthy's better 1541 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:07,800 Speaker 1: than a Zach Wilson or a Trey Lance or some 1542 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:09,640 Speaker 1: of the other guys that I moved up. But what 1543 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:13,480 Speaker 1: does Scotts say about the other big time, big name quarterbacks, 1544 01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 1: because this matters. Well, First of all, you have to 1545 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:22,680 Speaker 1: start with Caleb Williams. Okay, Caleb Williams. I think at 1546 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,400 Speaker 1: this point it'd be a shock if he doesn't go 1547 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:28,320 Speaker 1: number one overall to the Bears. And yes, he's he's 1548 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 1: drawn the comparisons to Patrick Maholmes. Remember Patrick Mahomes got 1549 01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 1: the city hear and when he got done with his 1550 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 1: year after you know, tutoring under Alex Smith, he was 1551 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,080 Speaker 1: in Andy Reid's system, which didn't hurt. But Mahomes has 1552 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 1: been everything as you know advertised. Williams has apparently a 1553 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 1: really high floor okay that even if he's bad, he 1554 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,200 Speaker 1: can be good. But we don't really know really what 1555 01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: his potential upside is in the NFL. Would say that 1556 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,759 Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is everybody has high hopes 1557 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:10,640 Speaker 1: for him because he's clearly the best looking quarterback prospect 1558 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 1: wise in years just sheer talent, but some unnamed Scounce 1559 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:20,559 Speaker 1: said he is not sure about his leadership, not sure, 1560 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,879 Speaker 1: but in terms of talent, not even close. He's never one. 1561 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,960 Speaker 1: Chris Sims weighed in and said he can make every 1562 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 1: throw in the book. He's the best scrambler in the 1563 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,679 Speaker 1: draft and the best off platform, which matters in this NFL. 1564 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 1: When you get him off script, he is pretty darn good. 1565 01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:40,360 Speaker 1: But I think Caleb Williams also has a great feel 1566 01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: in the pocket and when there's nothing there, well and 1567 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:46,160 Speaker 1: you have to get off platform, there's nobody better than 1568 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,400 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams from what I've seen in terms of film 1569 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,719 Speaker 1: in this draft. Now, Jaden Daniels is also a guy 1570 01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 1: who is drawing a lot of attention. Okay, he's considered 1571 01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:00,559 Speaker 1: to have a thin frame. He's tad thing. He's six 1572 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,439 Speaker 1: foot four, but the only ways two ten and if 1573 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:09,719 Speaker 1: you watched some LSU football, Jaden Daniels has a penchant 1574 01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: for getting involved in traffic and getting involved in collisions 1575 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,720 Speaker 1: and high speed collisions. And he you know, that might 1576 01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 1: not be good in the NFL, but if he goes 1577 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: second overall, I believe he'll be his offensive coordinator would 1578 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 1: be Cliff Kingsbury, and Cliff Kingsbury knows what it looks 1579 01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,840 Speaker 1: like to run an uptepo offense and put Jade and 1580 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 1: Daniels in position to make plays. One un named scout 1581 01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:38,960 Speaker 1: said Daniels is so good. He's so much better than 1582 01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 1: May and McCarthy. It's not even close. Daniels can play 1583 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: NFL football right now, and he said that back during 1584 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:48,080 Speaker 1: the season. Another scout said Jaden probably made more progress 1585 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 1: than any quarterback coming out in the last five or 1586 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,280 Speaker 1: six years. He can anticipate, make all the throws and 1587 01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 1: is an explosive athlete. Yep, definitely. He said. He's not 1588 01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 1: quite Lamar Jackson or Michael Vick, but his ability to 1589 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,240 Speaker 1: process pre snap has really improved, and that's hard to 1590 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 1: do in one year. So those that's pretty high praise. 1591 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,559 Speaker 1: Even though people feel Jadan Daniels has room to grow, 1592 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,679 Speaker 1: it's going to take a couple of years. The offense 1593 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,000 Speaker 1: has to be tailored to him. He might make some 1594 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 1: good plays, he might make some ugly plays, but he's 1595 01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:20,960 Speaker 1: a guy who could step into the league and start 1596 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,840 Speaker 1: Week one. That's the belief that Jade and Daniels could 1597 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,240 Speaker 1: start Week one On the other hand, other scouts aren't 1598 01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:30,960 Speaker 1: as sure. You don't know, he could end up being 1599 01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 1: the best one, great athlete, great arm, talent, he can process. 1600 01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:38,080 Speaker 1: And then the thought among scouts just in terms of sheer, 1601 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:42,799 Speaker 1: athletic ability and talent is after Caleb Williams and after 1602 01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:47,840 Speaker 1: Jade Daniels is that there's a big drop off. Fair enough, 1603 01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 1: next up Drake May. Now, if you just had to 1604 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,760 Speaker 1: sit and throw the football and you rank Drake May 1605 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 1: against all the other six passers, Drake May would be 1606 01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:04,679 Speaker 1: perhaps the leader according to a lot of scouts. Okay, 1607 01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 1: he's a prototypical six four two twenty three, but he's 1608 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:12,800 Speaker 1: got amazing deep passing strength and he's got the type 1609 01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,760 Speaker 1: of deep throw with feel he can make like a 1610 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:21,360 Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw type. Good enough mobility, good enough competitiveness. He 1611 01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: was acc Player of the Year as a first time starter. 1612 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 1: And the truth of the matter is he was in 1613 01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,760 Speaker 1: a difficult situation Drake May in North Carolina. They lost 1614 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator and his passing statistics dropped his second 1615 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,400 Speaker 1: year against some higher infos. But people think he has 1616 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 1: a pretty high ceiling, got room to grow. But he 1617 01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:43,439 Speaker 1: does have a pretty high ceiling, and they think he's 1618 01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,360 Speaker 1: got the makings, he's made of the right stuff to 1619 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 1: play football in the National Football League. I think Drake 1620 01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 1: May will come under the most scrutiny. People are going 1621 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 1: to pick him apart, just because Chris Simms even said it. 1622 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: If you watch twenty throws, you'll see good throws, and 1623 01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they'll be all over the place, 1624 01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,880 Speaker 1: and his decision making can be all over the place, 1625 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,640 Speaker 1: and his pocket presence is all over the place. And 1626 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 1: some scouts think he has some serious mechanical flaws and 1627 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,639 Speaker 1: how he throws the football. But he's got the size, 1628 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 1: he's got the athleticism, he's got the arm strength. People 1629 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,400 Speaker 1: compare him to Justin Herbert or maybe a Josh Allen, 1630 01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:19,840 Speaker 1: but other scouts say that's ridiculous. They don't believe that. 1631 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 1: It's amazing how multiple people can put the pair of 1632 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 1: eyes on the same quarterback over and over and look 1633 01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,839 Speaker 1: at it differently. You know, we've already talked about JJ McCarthy. 1634 01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:34,600 Speaker 1: Ad nauseum, Let's get to Michael Pennix because I like 1635 01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:36,960 Speaker 1: Michael PENNOCKX. He's twenty five years old, which means nothing 1636 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:38,599 Speaker 1: to me. He's not forty five years old. He's twenty 1637 01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:40,639 Speaker 1: five years old. So people that talk about his age 1638 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,320 Speaker 1: go go kick rocks. Come on, you be stupid. It's 1639 01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,880 Speaker 1: unlikely Michael Pennix, though, is going to be drafted in 1640 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,320 Speaker 1: the top ten. Based on what people are telling me. 1641 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: There are some people think Michael Pennix can actually fall 1642 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,280 Speaker 1: out of the first round. Why. Some have freaked out 1643 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:00,680 Speaker 1: by his injury history before the past two seasons. But 1644 01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:04,600 Speaker 1: when you look at Michael Penix as a quarterback, his 1645 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 1: pocket presence, his arm talent, other people think he can 1646 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 1: go in the top fifteen. Other people, anonymous coaches have 1647 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,439 Speaker 1: said they think Penix right now is certainly better than Drake, 1648 01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:21,120 Speaker 1: may certainly better than JJ McCarthy when you are juxtaposing 1649 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:24,200 Speaker 1: what he can do in an NFL scheme, because Penix 1650 01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:27,000 Speaker 1: hand really read defenses and he can really through accurately. 1651 01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:30,120 Speaker 1: He's very quick, He's got a really strong arm, and 1652 01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:34,320 Speaker 1: apparently in person his arm looks ridiculously strong. And the 1653 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,559 Speaker 1: thought is, wherever Penix ends up, he's more of a 1654 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: sure thing to really stick in the NFL. The truth 1655 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:42,519 Speaker 1: of the matter is, though no one knows where he's 1656 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,639 Speaker 1: going to go. Other Scotts think Bo Nick is better 1657 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,880 Speaker 1: than Michael Penix. They think Michael Penix is serviceable, but 1658 01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:52,080 Speaker 1: he's got a plan schedule. He's not a really if 1659 01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: there's one thing if you noticed about Michael Penis, he 1660 01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 1: gets traffic in his face. He doesn't have the kind 1661 01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,599 Speaker 1: of footwork some of the other guys we have mentioned 1662 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:03,440 Speaker 1: does move him off of his spot. He can sometimes 1663 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:07,960 Speaker 1: be inconsistent, which gets us to the six quarterback bow Knicks. 1664 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:10,960 Speaker 1: And again, there is a theory that as many as 1665 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 1: six quarterbacks could be drafted in the first round this year, 1666 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,040 Speaker 1: first time since nineteen eighty three when you saw John Elway, 1667 01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,960 Speaker 1: Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Easton, Kenny O'Brien, and Dan 1668 01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 1: Marino all go in that same draft. Do we think 1669 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:29,280 Speaker 1: there is going to be six quarterbacks drafted? No, no, 1670 01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 1: But it's not all the realm of possibility. But if 1671 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,400 Speaker 1: you're looking at that guy who would go at the 1672 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,600 Speaker 1: very end of the first round or maybe within the 1673 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 1: first ten picks of the second round, could be Pennix, 1674 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:46,880 Speaker 1: it could be Bo Nicks. Interestingly enough, both of them 1675 01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:49,680 Speaker 1: were five year starters in college. And you know the 1676 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,559 Speaker 1: old Bill Parcells like to have his quarterback coming out 1677 01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,000 Speaker 1: of college with a next x number of starts. I 1678 01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:56,880 Speaker 1: think he said at least forty starts or twenty eight 1679 01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 1: starts or whatever. It was. Sixty percent passing percentage when 1680 01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,320 Speaker 1: eighty percent of your games. Nix is also probably underrated 1681 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,559 Speaker 1: as a scrambler. And remember he started out at Auburn, 1682 01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:12,759 Speaker 1: and he set the FBS record for single season completion 1683 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,840 Speaker 1: percentage after leaving Auburn at seventy eight percent just this 1684 01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,559 Speaker 1: last year. Now, people might not see he's a first 1685 01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:24,360 Speaker 1: round talent because he can play a little loose and 1686 01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 1: his fundamentals aren't always pristine, But there are other people 1687 01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 1: who feel that. Aside from Jayden and Daniels, why I said, 1688 01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:35,799 Speaker 1: one scout said could start in the NFL. Other scouts 1689 01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:39,400 Speaker 1: say they think bow Knicks will be a better pro 1690 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:44,559 Speaker 1: quicker than all the other quarterbacks because he's just good 1691 01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:49,920 Speaker 1: enough at just about everything. Okay, and it's not just 1692 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:55,080 Speaker 1: hitting wide open receivers on easy throws. It's other things 1693 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 1: he can do just good enough across the board that 1694 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:04,840 Speaker 1: make him a complete NFL quarterback coming up. This may 1695 01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 1: be a little premature, but Dion Sanders has already come 1696 01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 1: out and said he will not let his son Shodoor 1697 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:20,080 Speaker 1: play for certain NFL teams, which then Dion roundly debunked. Recently, 1698 01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 1: so what is it, yes or no? Dion actually called 1699 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 1: it a ball face, lie. I will share with you 1700 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:29,120 Speaker 1: that little tugal war because it's Dion Man. We love Dion. 1701 01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm Bernie fraddlewer comany live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports 1702 01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,840 Speaker 1: Radio Tirack dot Com studios. Keep it locked right here. 1703 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Oh, 1704 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:41,439 Speaker 1: we're back on the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio. 1705 01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:44,720 Speaker 1: Come to live from the tyrack dot Com studios here 1706 01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:49,599 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Don't forget about thirty seven minutes from 1707 01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,519 Speaker 1: now the Dance Sensation sweep of the nation to a 1708 01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:56,080 Speaker 1: m Pacific five am Eastern. What kind of brand new 1709 01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:59,800 Speaker 1: fool you followed by what my name? Well, we haven't 1710 01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:01,880 Speaker 1: even got into the twenty twenty four draft yet, and 1711 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,080 Speaker 1: people already talking about the twenty twenty five draft because 1712 01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 1: a gentleman about the name of Dion Sanders says he 1713 01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:08,920 Speaker 1: would not let his son should Door play for certain 1714 01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,639 Speaker 1: NFL teams. And by the way she do, it's pretty good. 1715 01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:13,720 Speaker 1: You can be a first round draft choice. He'd be 1716 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 1: one of the first players selected in the twenty twenty 1717 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:20,439 Speaker 1: five draft. But it sounds like scenario where if we 1718 01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,920 Speaker 1: hear it is right, then it's accurate. You might strongly 1719 01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:27,439 Speaker 1: discourage certain teams from picking him. Apparently. In a recent 1720 01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 1: appearance of a podcast called The Million Dollars Worth of Game, 1721 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 1: Dion said that his son's future. When asked where he 1722 01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:42,960 Speaker 1: envisions Shaduur and actually his fellow teammates star Travis Hunter, 1723 01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:46,800 Speaker 1: would be selected in next year draft, Dion did say 1724 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,639 Speaker 1: he believes both will go in the top four picks, 1725 01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:55,599 Speaker 1: with one being taken first overall. Okay, however, Dion may 1726 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,800 Speaker 1: not want his son to go number one, depending on 1727 01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:03,000 Speaker 1: which team holds the pit. Quote. Now, this is subjective 1728 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,800 Speaker 1: because I know, well, I kind of want them to go. 1729 01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,760 Speaker 1: And let's not forget Dion's others than Shiloh. But I 1730 01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:10,920 Speaker 1: do know where I want them to go. So there's 1731 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,759 Speaker 1: certain critics, there's certain cities. It ain't gonna happen. It's 1732 01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,240 Speaker 1: gonna be an Eli And if you recall back in 1733 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:23,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, Eli Manning said Chargers don't draft me, 1734 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,360 Speaker 1: and they didn't. They didn't, they didn't want to, or whatever. 1735 01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:27,800 Speaker 1: It end up in the New York Giants. Okay, that's 1736 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:31,360 Speaker 1: what happened. The rest is history, Dion, As I mentioned, 1737 01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:34,760 Speaker 1: he's referring to what happened to Eli Manning. Manning made 1738 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:35,920 Speaker 1: it clear he did not want to play for the 1739 01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers because of concerns about the organization. So 1740 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,680 Speaker 1: his agent worked out and they facilitated the trade of 1741 01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,160 Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Diana is saying he would do 1742 01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:47,400 Speaker 1: the same if a team he does not approve of 1743 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:52,840 Speaker 1: is in position to draft Shador. Now, apparently there have 1744 01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,400 Speaker 1: been multiple times depending on who you listen to, where 1745 01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:59,240 Speaker 1: Dion indicated he has a major preference about where Shador 1746 01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:04,400 Speaker 1: ends up. Remarks allegedly show he's very serious about it. 1747 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:08,080 Speaker 1: By the way, Schudor had a really good season last 1748 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:11,880 Speaker 1: year Colorado. He had over thirty three hundred passing yards, 1749 01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,800 Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns only through three picks the entire year. 1750 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:19,040 Speaker 1: Also he ran for four touchdowns. He can play, He 1751 01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:21,120 Speaker 1: can play, and I would not rule out that he 1752 01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:22,720 Speaker 1: is the number one pick in twenty twenty five, but 1753 01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,200 Speaker 1: we're a long way from that. But here's the big 1754 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 1: Bud Pewee, Dion Sanders says, hold up, hold up, slower role, 1755 01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:35,840 Speaker 1: step off. I need to set the record straight. So 1756 01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:40,120 Speaker 1: Dion went back on the record this week pushed back 1757 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,080 Speaker 1: on the idea that he has a list of teams 1758 01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,320 Speaker 1: for a son and Hunter to play for. He denied 1759 01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 1: it now again. Sanders, Shudoor Sanders Travis Hunter both studs 1760 01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,840 Speaker 1: at Colorado High draft picks expected to be in twenty 1761 01:36:55,840 --> 01:37:00,320 Speaker 1: twenty five. Dion Shan Sanders took umbrage and shot in 1762 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,479 Speaker 1: the comments that he would only allow with Sun, Shador 1763 01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:06,759 Speaker 1: and Hunter to play for six NFL teams. In a 1764 01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:10,840 Speaker 1: recent interview with CBS News Colorado, here's Deans quote. One 1765 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,479 Speaker 1: thing about a lie. A lie is so fast it 1766 01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 1: cannot run the truth any day. Sanders said, that's a 1767 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:19,400 Speaker 1: bald faced lie. That's a stupid lie. I have more 1768 01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,280 Speaker 1: than six owners that are friends. I have more than 1769 01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 1: six gms that are friends. You've got to understand. I 1770 01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:29,400 Speaker 1: played fourteen pro seasons and I worked another seventeen. I 1771 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,600 Speaker 1: believe in the NFL, NFL Network and CBS. I know 1772 01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:34,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people come on well. Per The New 1773 01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:39,800 Speaker 1: York Post, Sanders allegedly had six NFL teams that he 1774 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:42,200 Speaker 1: wanted Shador and Hunted to play for. Those teams were 1775 01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,719 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine Ers, the Dallas Cowboys, Watching 1776 01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:49,519 Speaker 1: the Commanders, Baltimore Ravens, and Atlanta Falcons. Those are the 1777 01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:52,760 Speaker 1: five teams Dion played for in his career, and he 1778 01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,320 Speaker 1: had a very good career. The sixth team, apparently, he 1779 01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:59,400 Speaker 1: was the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanders said the Eagles would be 1780 01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:05,240 Speaker 1: a good fit for his son and Hunter, which Dion 1781 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,559 Speaker 1: later reiterated regarding the teams he played for in his 1782 01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:09,559 Speaker 1: career as well. So the Eagles are a bit of 1783 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,680 Speaker 1: a surprise. They have a quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and I 1784 01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 1: don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon. That might not 1785 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,519 Speaker 1: be a good situation for should or Sanders to step into. 1786 01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:23,160 Speaker 1: He'd be sitting behind Jalen Hurts, I believe. But Sanders 1787 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,760 Speaker 1: quoted Hurts in the past, which also could lead to 1788 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,200 Speaker 1: his desired interest in the Eagles for his son and Hunter. 1789 01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,759 Speaker 1: Who knows Philly also has aj Brown and DeVante Smith 1790 01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,640 Speaker 1: at wide receiver, and Hunter could probably play defense here 1791 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,360 Speaker 1: if he commits the other side of the ball. Sanders 1792 01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,599 Speaker 1: did play both ways during his career. Dion he even 1793 01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 1: caught thirty six passes for four hundred and seventy five 1794 01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,479 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown when the Cowboys were thin at 1795 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:46,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver back in the mid nineties. That you didn't 1796 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,720 Speaker 1: know that, did you. By the way, Sanders has a 1797 01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 1: platform on teams in cole Weather Cities doesn't like him, 1798 01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:56,040 Speaker 1: but Philly, Baltimore, and Washington they play in cole Weather Cities. 1799 01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:59,639 Speaker 1: He appeared to change his stance on that. He also 1800 01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:03,760 Speaker 1: said Sanders that both his son and Hunter could be 1801 01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:08,040 Speaker 1: selected anywhere from one through four, meeting number one through 1802 01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 1: number four. Now the forty nine Ers and Ravens, they're 1803 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,920 Speaker 1: among NFL elite teams. The Cowboys are typically a team 1804 01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:20,040 Speaker 1: that have a good regular season and you know, you 1805 01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,160 Speaker 1: know what they do in the postseason. But all that 1806 01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 1: means is if those two players are going to be 1807 01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:27,760 Speaker 1: drafted that high, none of those teams may have a 1808 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:30,479 Speaker 1: shot at them. They wouldn't be drafting that high. But 1809 01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:34,439 Speaker 1: Dion been over backwards to say I would never do that. 1810 01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,280 Speaker 1: I would never limit you know, or or if I 1811 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,160 Speaker 1: was that stupid, I wouldn't disclose the teams I want 1812 01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,360 Speaker 1: him to play for. I would disclose the several that 1813 01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:46,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't whatever. Yeah, exactly make of this what you will. 1814 01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:49,840 Speaker 1: The New York Post said one thing, Dion said another, 1815 01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,200 Speaker 1: and anyway it slices it. I love it when Deon's 1816 01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,799 Speaker 1: in the news. I do. I mean, I like Dion. 1817 01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm a Dion fan. Is he perfect? 1818 01:39:58,320 --> 01:39:58,360 Speaker 11: No? 1819 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:03,040 Speaker 1: But man, I like the guy a lot. Coming up, Reality, 1820 01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:08,200 Speaker 1: Reality is about to sit in next Thursday, because we 1821 01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,280 Speaker 1: have to be honest when it comes to the NFL Draft, 1822 01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 1: Our first round quarterbacks really worth the gamble. These facts 1823 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,320 Speaker 1: don't lie. They will cause you to shake your they 1824 01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,479 Speaker 1: will cause you to scratch your head. I'll share them 1825 01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:25,880 Speaker 1: coming up, But first let's go back to our guy, 1826 01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:28,679 Speaker 1: the man for all seasons, Martin Weiss with the latest. 1827 01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,680 Speaker 8: So Bernie, you know you just said that, you know, 1828 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,559 Speaker 8: Dion's listing all these places where his kids could go, 1829 01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:38,240 Speaker 8: and Philadelphia has already got a quarterback, right, yes, sir, Well, 1830 01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 8: Travis Hunter has a dad. 1831 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,839 Speaker 9: I just feel like that's under reported. 1832 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:46,960 Speaker 8: I feel like people should know that Travis Hunter is 1833 01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:50,720 Speaker 8: actually Travis Hunter Junior, meaning that somewhere out there there's 1834 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:54,360 Speaker 8: a Travis Hunter Senior who apparently was a baller at 1835 01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 8: Boyton BEA's Community High School. I went on to playing 1836 01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,960 Speaker 8: a Florida Football Alliance in the Southern States Football League, 1837 01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:02,760 Speaker 8: winning the latter's Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 1838 01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:06,400 Speaker 8: two thousand and seven. That's his per Travis Hunter's Wikipedia page. 1839 01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:09,519 Speaker 8: But I just found it fascinating that he is dictating 1840 01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:12,479 Speaker 8: where Travis Hunter may go and that's just not his son. 1841 01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:14,439 Speaker 1: This is not it is not Martin. 1842 01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:14,840 Speaker 7: I like it. 1843 01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, no problems. 1844 01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:18,040 Speaker 1: So that's what you call critical thinking skills, my friend. 1845 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,759 Speaker 9: Hey, you know what that that that University of Michigan 1846 01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:22,599 Speaker 9: degree putting in a work right now? 1847 01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:24,360 Speaker 1: Listen, man, I'm just trying to keep up. I'm no 1848 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,479 Speaker 1: high school dropout. I went to full six years. 1849 01:41:27,439 --> 01:41:29,479 Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, let's get to the business. 1850 01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,200 Speaker 8: The NFL and the I'm sorry, not the NFL, That's 1851 01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,439 Speaker 8: what you were about to talk about next. The NHL 1852 01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:38,280 Speaker 8: and the NBA. They had game ones all across the 1853 01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:40,920 Speaker 8: board yesterday.

He threw 1860 01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,800 Speaker 8: the ball off the backboard dunk that came down immediately 1861 01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:03,360 Speaker 8: was on the ground writhing in pain. 1862 01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:06,280 Speaker 9: Bernie I was listening to the Knicks radio broadcast on 1863 01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:07,320 Speaker 9: my way into work. 1864 01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:09,479 Speaker 8: That's how long I've been here, and you would have 1865 01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:12,320 Speaker 8: thought it was a funeral for Joellenbiid. He did come 1866 01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,960 Speaker 8: back in the game after injuring re injuring that knee, 1867 01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:19,040 Speaker 8: but was only two four eleven after that injury. Jalen 1868 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:21,720 Speaker 8: Brunton twenty six shots, twenty two points. You have to 1869 01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:25,040 Speaker 8: imagine he'll be more efficient going forward. Timberwolves handled the 1870 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,320 Speaker 8: Suns one twenty to ninety five. Anthony Edwards with thirty 1871 01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,200 Speaker 8: three KD thirty one and the loss. The Nuggets beat 1872 01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:33,679 Speaker 8: the Lakers one oh four to one oh three. Three 1873 01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,840 Speaker 8: starters with double doubles for Denver. That's Nicola Yokus, Jamal 1874 01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 8: Murray and Aaron Gordon. Lebron had twenty seven points, eight assists, 1875 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:44,880 Speaker 8: seven turnovers, tomorrow, I mean today, looking ahead, the Lightning 1876 01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:48,000 Speaker 8: will play the Panthers, the Capitals play the Rangers, Avalanche, 1877 01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,840 Speaker 8: and the Jets and the Predators and the Canucks on 1878 01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,639 Speaker 8: for all those game ones in the NHL. And also 1879 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,920 Speaker 8: we're looking at the Boston Celtics in Miami Heat, the 1880 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:58,360 Speaker 8: Clippers and the Mavericks. 1881 01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 9: No Kawhi Leonard right now. 1882 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:04,639 Speaker 8: He's questionable but has not participated in contact drills and practice, 1883 01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:07,680 Speaker 8: and like we said earlier, contact not optional. In the 1884 01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:11,280 Speaker 8: NBA Playoffs, no Yiannis either for the Milwaukee Bucks as 1885 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:15,559 Speaker 8: they take on the Indiana Pacers. And finally z Ion 1886 01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,800 Speaker 8: Williamson also out with the hamstring injury suffered in the 1887 01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:22,000 Speaker 8: play in tournament. The New Orleans Pelicans will play the 1888 01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,560 Speaker 8: Oklahoma City Thunder Bernie. I don't know if you heard this, 1889 01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:29,240 Speaker 8: but Larry Nance was doing some pregame media availability. 1890 01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,519 Speaker 9: He said he would bet on the Pelicans, but then 1891 01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:35,960 Speaker 9: I heard that sound. Look yeah. 1892 01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 8: He started to get up, sat back down and said, 1893 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,760 Speaker 8: just to be clear, I'm not actually betting on the Pelicans. 1894 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,479 Speaker 8: Don't have a betting app on my phone or anywhere 1895 01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 8: around here, and ended his availability with no. 1896 01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,880 Speaker 9: Johntay Porter. So there you go, Bernie, back to you 1897 01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:52,160 Speaker 9: good stuff. 1898 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,000 Speaker 1: Martin covered a lot of good ground there, my man. 1899 01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:58,080 Speaker 1: Uh and boy, we would deep on Johntay Porter Friday night. 1900 01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:04,280 Speaker 1: That what a crazy, crazy, crazy situation. All right. There's 1901 01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:08,760 Speaker 1: always a debate this time every year, every year as 1902 01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:12,720 Speaker 1: to the belief that the next great NFL quarterback is 1903 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:16,760 Speaker 1: staring you in the face. You know, do I have 1904 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:20,120 Speaker 1: to do it? Trey Lance, Malik Willis, Ryan Leaf, go back, 1905 01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:25,599 Speaker 1: reread the narrative. Sorry, And you know, after even myself 1906 01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:28,640 Speaker 1: sometimes participating in heated debates and taking part in a 1907 01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:33,760 Speaker 1: few comments myself, a few years ago, I started to 1908 01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,880 Speaker 1: do some research and my digging led me all the 1909 01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:43,719 Speaker 1: way back to nineteen sixty seven. And here's why, Because 1910 01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:48,719 Speaker 1: since then there have been one hundred and nine first 1911 01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:53,800 Speaker 1: round quarterback picks. And it left it leaves you with 1912 01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:59,839 Speaker 1: only one conclusion. For every John Elway or Dan Marino 1913 01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:04,200 Speaker 1: or Peyton Manning or Patrick Mahomes, there are six guys 1914 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,719 Speaker 1: who won't live up to the expectations. For every Patrick 1915 01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:10,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes or Josh Allenders, Zach Wilson or Jameis Winston. Just 1916 01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:14,559 Speaker 1: a fact. Now, let me first explain because it all 1917 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:19,080 Speaker 1: comes down to expectations. Everything in life is that way. 1918 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:26,880 Speaker 1: It all comes down to perspective. Right, two twin brothers. 1919 01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:32,120 Speaker 1: One is worth a million dollars, one is worth fifty grand. 1920 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:35,479 Speaker 1: The brother worth fifty million, or the brother worth one 1921 01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:39,840 Speaker 1: million loses one hundred grand in the stock market. He's 1922 01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:43,320 Speaker 1: worth nine hundred thousand dollars. He's livid, he's upset, he 1923 01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:48,640 Speaker 1: can't sleep. The brother who's worth fifty thousand dollars in 1924 01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:51,200 Speaker 1: his net worth makes ten grand in the stock market. 1925 01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:55,160 Speaker 1: Now he's worth sixty thousand. He's ecstatic, he can't sleep. 1926 01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 1: The brother who's worth nine hundred grand is upset. The 1927 01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:03,759 Speaker 1: brother who's worth sixty grand is ecstatic. It's all about 1928 01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:10,360 Speaker 1: expectations and perspective. So see, here's the deal. When the 1929 01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 1: team uses their first round pick in the draft to 1930 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:19,240 Speaker 1: select a quarterback, there are serious expectations. You are basically saying, 1931 01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,720 Speaker 1: we want this to be the future of our franchise. 1932 01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,240 Speaker 1: You do not expect this person to turn the team 1933 01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:27,439 Speaker 1: around in the first two games, although that would be nice, 1934 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:32,280 Speaker 1: But this draft pick is expected to eventually become the 1935 01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:35,360 Speaker 1: team leader, the face of the franchise, the man that 1936 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:40,599 Speaker 1: leads them to the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, we are. 1937 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,160 Speaker 1: A quarterback selected the first round of the NFL Draft 1938 01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:47,519 Speaker 1: will face more scrutiny than any other pick in any 1939 01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:52,040 Speaker 1: other sport period. When the team wins, well you hoist 1940 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:56,040 Speaker 1: the guy on your shoulders, paging Patrick Mahomes because it 1941 01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:58,920 Speaker 1: was their command and leadership that got them there. Facts 1942 01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:03,000 Speaker 1: when they lose, they're going to be thrown under the 1943 01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,479 Speaker 1: bus by the media. They'll be flushed down the toilet. 1944 01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:08,960 Speaker 1: They'll receive one hundred percent of the blame for the 1945 01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,240 Speaker 1: problems of their team. Because the truth of the matter is, 1946 01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:15,040 Speaker 1: every can't miss quarterback prospect well they think they can 1947 01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,960 Speaker 1: handle the pressure, but few have genuinely proven they can 1948 01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:22,760 Speaker 1: honestly do so. Of the one hundred and nine quarterbacks 1949 01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:26,040 Speaker 1: drafted in the first round in the last sixty years, 1950 01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:30,080 Speaker 1: check that fifty five years. You know how many who 1951 01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:33,439 Speaker 1: have been selected to the Hall of Fame. Nine Those 1952 01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:35,599 Speaker 1: aren't great percentages. And of the one hundred and nine 1953 01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:40,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks selected, twenty six have played on a team that 1954 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:43,120 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl. But of those twenty five players, 1955 01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 1: they held a record of twenty nine and sixty in 1956 01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:49,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl since nineteen sixty seven. Now this numbers a 1957 01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,880 Speaker 1: little skewed because of my research. It turns out, well, 1958 01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:54,960 Speaker 1: Matt Lionert was in a Super Bowl, but he sat 1959 01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:59,200 Speaker 1: on the bench. He's playing for Arizona, and Byron Leftwich 1960 01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,840 Speaker 1: was on the Super Bow, but he also sat on 1961 01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:04,160 Speaker 1: a bench for Pittsburgh as they won it. By the way, 1962 01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:08,479 Speaker 1: Arizona lost. Hall of Fame quarterbacks actually hold a record 1963 01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:11,280 Speaker 1: of eleven and nine of the Super Bowl and potential 1964 01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:14,000 Speaker 1: Hall of famers, well, they got a little bit better record. 1965 01:48:15,080 --> 01:48:18,800 Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is when you analyze it, 1966 01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:27,960 Speaker 1: there's only and the number escapes meet right now. But 1967 01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:32,600 Speaker 1: I want to say there were only like nine quarterbacks 1968 01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,040 Speaker 1: who got to the Super Bowl with the team that 1969 01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:39,040 Speaker 1: drafted them. Now that, by the way, don't get me wrong. 1970 01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:43,120 Speaker 1: By the way, what happened to the other who you 1971 01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:45,880 Speaker 1: know quarterbacks? Well, a lot of them had averaged good 1972 01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:48,680 Speaker 1: careers and the book is still out on some of them, 1973 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:50,880 Speaker 1: all right, and some are pollege coming out of college. 1974 01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, they they led their teams to more wins 1975 01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:56,479 Speaker 1: they got in the first round, but didn't translate to 1976 01:48:56,560 --> 01:49:01,719 Speaker 1: the NFL. But here's the reality. You do a complete 1977 01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:03,600 Speaker 1: analysis of all the wins and losses and all the 1978 01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:06,639 Speaker 1: first round quarterbacks. Compare them to the records of people 1979 01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:12,240 Speaker 1: who are drafted in rounds later, and the numbers aren't promising. 1980 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,040 Speaker 1: Those one hundred nine quarterbacks nine minute to the Hall 1981 01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:18,680 Speaker 1: of Fame, five are potential Hall of Famers, twenty six 1982 01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:21,320 Speaker 1: got to the Super Bowl, twelve or All Pro. So 1983 01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,320 Speaker 1: there's some success by first round quarterbacks. Just look at 1984 01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:29,559 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Justin Fields, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, 1985 01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:34,479 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and Trevor Lawrence has had some success. But 1986 01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:37,479 Speaker 1: even still his numbers are great and he's under five hundred. 1987 01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:39,280 Speaker 1: And I'm not picking on Trevor Lawrence because I like 1988 01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:45,439 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. So my suggestion, my suggestion, buyer, beware the 1989 01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:48,280 Speaker 1: fate of your franchise. If you're drafting a first round 1990 01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:52,320 Speaker 1: quarterback has a much higher percentage of ending up like 1991 01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,599 Speaker 1: a Jeff Georgia or O'Ryan Leaf than a Peyton Manning 1992 01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:59,160 Speaker 1: or Troy Aikman or a Patrick Maholmes. Those are just 1993 01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:03,320 Speaker 1: facts only going back to nineteen sixty seven. I'm not 1994 01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:06,880 Speaker 1: wishing it on him, but whether it's Michael Pennix or 1995 01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:13,679 Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels or JJ McCarthy or Bo Nicks or Caleb Williams. Well, 1996 01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:19,639 Speaker 1: history tells us more of them are gonna fail than succeed. 1997 01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:25,680 Speaker 1: One guy, though, who I There is one GM that 1998 01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 1: I pay attention to every year in the NFL Draft, 1999 01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:34,960 Speaker 1: because not only has this guy pulled miracles, his personal 2000 01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:37,800 Speaker 1: story how he ended up as an NFL GM will 2001 01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:40,120 Speaker 1: blow you away. I got to share this with you. 2002 01:50:40,240 --> 01:50:42,240 Speaker 1: You will get a real kick out of it.

So the Draft is Thursday night and 2025 01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:01,679 Speaker 1: there'll be storylines galore, players, quarterbacks, you name it, teams, 2026 01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:04,880 Speaker 1: fans taking place in Detroit. They'll do a great job 2027 01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:09,280 Speaker 1: hosting it. And one of the things I watched that 2028 01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:14,160 Speaker 1: has been somewhat under the radar, but it's really not 2029 01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:16,920 Speaker 1: under the radar because I'm going to tell you the 2030 01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:20,880 Speaker 1: story of a gentleman who is a prominent GM in 2031 01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 1: the NFL and he has done a phenomenal job in 2032 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 1: building his team. So let me get to the story. 2033 01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:35,120 Speaker 1: You know, his name is Howard and back when he 2034 01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:37,680 Speaker 1: was a kid nicool light at dawn. He it'd wake 2035 01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,680 Speaker 1: up every morning, and he was dreaming for working in 2036 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:44,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. He was completely obsessed. So as he entered 2037 01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,920 Speaker 1: his senior year in high school in nineteen ninety three, 2038 01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:51,120 Speaker 1: he decided he would write a letter to every single 2039 01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:55,200 Speaker 1: NFL team, and they were all the same. And this 2040 01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,160 Speaker 1: is verbatim what he wrote. You're not going to believe this. 2041 01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:04,439 Speaker 1: My name is Howard. I have never played football. I've 2042 01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:07,200 Speaker 1: never coached. I've never been a water boy or a 2043 01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:10,080 Speaker 1: ball boy. In fact, I've never even stepped on a 2044 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:14,760 Speaker 1: football field. But I know, if given the chance, I 2045 01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:17,960 Speaker 1: would make a great general manager for an NFL team. 2046 01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:25,840 Speaker 1: Exclamation point. Okay, that's real now. The other part he 2047 01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:29,680 Speaker 1: didn't know is Howard kept sending that same letter over 2048 01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:32,560 Speaker 1: and over and over. In fact, it's been acknowledged and 2049 01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:36,559 Speaker 1: recorded that Howard kept sending and writing that same letter 2050 01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:40,479 Speaker 1: for three years. All in all, he sent out one 2051 01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:45,080 Speaker 1: and sixty five letters to NFL teams, over and over 2052 01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:51,240 Speaker 1: and over. Finally, Mike Tannenbaum, who had just taken an 2053 01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:54,200 Speaker 1: executive position with the New York Chant, says, all right, 2054 01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:58,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious. He called Howard and his reasoning was, well, 2055 01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:01,040 Speaker 1: I figured this kid, he's a he's either the most 2056 01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:05,240 Speaker 1: persistent man in America or he's the craziest. But I'm 2057 01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:09,760 Speaker 1: going to find out. So Mike Tannebaum called up the 2058 01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:13,080 Speaker 1: young man and told him, on knowing certain terms, my man, 2059 01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:15,960 Speaker 1: no NFL team is ever going to hire you as 2060 01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:18,400 Speaker 1: a coach. They're never going to hire you as an assistant. 2061 01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:21,439 Speaker 1: You're never going to get anywhere near the field at 2062 01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:25,120 Speaker 1: any on field capacity. But if you are that hell 2063 01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:29,559 Speaker 1: bent on working in the NFL, I think he should 2064 01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:32,960 Speaker 1: go to law school. Why because if you've got a 2065 01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:37,280 Speaker 1: law degree, you potentially could be a candidate for this 2066 01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:42,720 Speaker 1: burgeoning new responsibility that we now call salary cap analysis. 2067 01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:47,320 Speaker 1: Remember this was the nineties. Well what did young Howard do? 2068 01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:53,200 Speaker 1: He enrolled at Fordham Law School. He finished in three years, 2069 01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:59,880 Speaker 1: and after he graduated, he re embarked on his quest 2070 01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:03,880 Speaker 1: to get into the NFL. Somehow, some way, he kept 2071 01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:09,680 Speaker 1: getting rejected, but finally one door opened. It was nothing 2072 01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:15,680 Speaker 1: more than a non paid internship. Ironically, it wasn't from 2073 01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:19,280 Speaker 1: Mike Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum actually turned him down because he said, 2074 01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just don't have an opening for you. 2075 01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,800 Speaker 1: But what Tannerbob did do was placed a phone call 2076 01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:31,000 Speaker 1: to Joe Banner, a senior vice president with the Philadelphia Eagles, 2077 01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:34,520 Speaker 1: to recommend the kid. Said, Joe, I think I'm going 2078 01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:37,480 Speaker 1: to recommend this kid to you. Check him out. Banner 2079 01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:40,800 Speaker 1: checked him out. Joe Banner says, I'm really impressed with 2080 01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:46,160 Speaker 1: Howard's tenacity and his skill set. Said I'll even pay 2081 01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:52,240 Speaker 1: you two hundred and fifty dollars a week today. Okay, 2082 01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:53,560 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagle. 2083 01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:55,120 Speaker 10: Fans, I know you know. 2084 01:55:56,920 --> 01:56:01,800 Speaker 1: That Howie Roseman, at age forty eight, is now considered 2085 01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:05,680 Speaker 1: one of the best general managers in all the National 2086 01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:12,560 Speaker 1: Football League. And yes, yes, Howie Roseman will likely enter 2087 01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:14,080 Speaker 1: the NFL Hall of Fame someday. 2088 01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:15,320 Speaker 5: You know. 2089 01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:18,200 Speaker 1: Willie Wonker once said we are the makers of music 2090 01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:22,640 Speaker 1: and the dreamers of dreams. Clearly Howie Roseman understood that, 2091 01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:28,720 Speaker 1: and his resume is nothing more than a symphony of success. Roseman, 2092 01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:30,720 Speaker 1: by any other name, is still a legend, and he 2093 01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:35,560 Speaker 1: has proved once again that if you want something bad enough, 2094 01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:38,760 Speaker 1: you'll find a way to get it. The truth of 2095 01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:42,680 Speaker 1: the matter is how Roseman has drafted brilliantly, not just 2096 01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:46,360 Speaker 1: the guys like you know, Fletcher Cox and who else 2097 01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:50,560 Speaker 1: can I name? Marcus Smith? And he actually drafted Carson Wentz. 2098 01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:52,360 Speaker 1: It was on his way to an MVP before tearing 2099 01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:59,160 Speaker 1: his ACL against the Rams.

Yes, absolutely correct. All right, We're gonna 2430 02:15:02,680 --> 02:15:04,480 Speaker 1: go way out in left field. This is the kind 2431 02:15:04,520 --> 02:15:07,720 Speaker 1: of guess that Andy Furman would get. I'm the youngest 2432 02:15:07,760 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 1: pitcher ever to appear in a Major League baseball game. 2433 02:15:10,640 --> 02:15:14,000 Speaker 1: I was actually only fifteen years old.

Yeah, he 2441 02:15:40,560 --> 02:15:42,680 Speaker 1: actually played at Michigan. He was he was a college 2442 02:15:42,720 --> 02:15:44,760 Speaker 1: player before he got to the big leagues. I am 2443 02:15:44,840 --> 02:15:47,640 Speaker 1: the youngest pitcher to appear in a Major league baseball game. 2444 02:15:47,640 --> 02:15:50,760 Speaker 1: I was only fifteen years old. Shane Mogangar, What my name? 2445 02:15:51,840 --> 02:15:53,360 Speaker 10: The kid from Little Big League? 2446 02:15:55,720 --> 02:15:56,920 Speaker 1: I hated that movie. 2447 02:15:57,320 --> 02:15:58,920 Speaker 9: That movie so bad. 2448 02:15:59,560 --> 02:16:02,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god. If I was at the Plano movie theater, 2449 02:16:02,760 --> 02:16:04,560 Speaker 1: I'd be drinking so many I wouldn't go to. 2450 02:16:04,600 --> 02:16:07,880 Speaker 9: The movie Henry Rowan Gardner them. 2451 02:16:08,680 --> 02:16:11,520 Speaker 1: That was the kid in the movie. Yeah, actually a 2452 02:16:11,600 --> 02:16:14,880 Speaker 1: gentleman by the name of Joe Nuxhall, Joe Knuxhall, and 2453 02:16:15,320 --> 02:16:17,920 Speaker 1: he went on to become an announcer later. There's again. 2454 02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:20,560 Speaker 1: This is like during the war, right they were signing 2455 02:16:20,600 --> 02:16:22,240 Speaker 1: guys with no arms. I think no, he actually got 2456 02:16:22,280 --> 02:16:25,120 Speaker 1: to the big leagues at age fifteen, age fifteen. I 2457 02:16:25,160 --> 02:16:27,360 Speaker 1: would do one more. This is a classic. I think 2458 02:16:28,360 --> 02:16:30,680 Speaker 1: I came out of retirement for two days in nineteen 2459 02:16:30,720 --> 02:16:33,520 Speaker 1: eighty to play for the Chicago White Sox, and that 2460 02:16:33,680 --> 02:16:38,840 Speaker 1: allowed me to appear in games in five decades. Mark Ramsey, 2461 02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:40,360 Speaker 1: I gotta believe you know this one. 2462 02:16:40,440 --> 02:16:43,840 Speaker 9: What my name Memi minosel It is Mey Minos. 2463 02:16:45,080 --> 02:16:48,240 Speaker 1: I love Mini Minoso. I think it was like fifty 2464 02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:51,200 Speaker 1: three years old too when it happened. All right, another 2465 02:16:51,400 --> 02:16:53,720 Speaker 1: rousing condition of what kind of brand new fool you 2466 02:16:54,120 --> 02:16:56,680 Speaker 1: followed by what my name? Great job, guys, great job 2467 02:16:56,800 --> 02:17:00,560 Speaker 1: all the way around, and great job keeping me honest. 2468 02:17:01,879 --> 02:17:05,400 Speaker 1: Coming up. Well, I know a lot of people lost 2469 02:17:05,480 --> 02:17:09,400 Speaker 1: their minds when Tom Brady went on some podcast recently 2470 02:17:09,560 --> 02:17:13,120 Speaker 1: and he was merely asked would you consider coming back 2471 02:17:13,160 --> 02:17:15,280 Speaker 1: to the NFL off call, and he said, well, I 2472 02:17:15,360 --> 02:17:20,400 Speaker 1: am open to it. Well, what do NFL personnel have 2473 02:17:20,640 --> 02:17:25,040 Speaker 1: to say about what tom Brady's comments were and what 2474 02:17:25,360 --> 02:17:30,240 Speaker 1: has been their actual blunt reaction to any Tom Brady 2475 02:17:30,320 --> 02:17:33,760 Speaker 1: come back talk. It might really surprise you. I will 2476 02:17:33,800 --> 02:17:36,640 Speaker 1: share coming up. I'm Bernie Fradder or Company live from 2477 02:17:36,680 --> 02:17:39,120 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tirec dot Com Studios. Keep 2478 02:17:39,160 --> 02:17:41,600 Speaker 1: it locked so Bernie Fratter Show on Fox Sports Radio. 2479 02:17:42,200 --> 02:17:43,560 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm on a roll. I don't know 2480 02:17:43,600 --> 02:17:45,280 Speaker 1: how it came out of my mouth. I've only seen 2481 02:17:45,360 --> 02:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Connor McDavid play here in Vegas three times. He played 2482 02:17:48,760 --> 02:17:51,760 Speaker 1: for the Vonton Eulers. Props to Darryl Griffin for pointing 2483 02:17:51,840 --> 02:17:55,440 Speaker 1: that out love the people who lie in wait for 2484 02:17:55,520 --> 02:17:56,680 Speaker 1: you to make a single mistake. 2485 02:17:56,760 --> 02:17:56,920 Speaker 7: Man. 2486 02:17:57,120 --> 02:17:59,720 Speaker 1: You know, maybe not one of my better referens tonight, 2487 02:17:59,800 --> 02:18:03,160 Speaker 1: but these folks still listen, and we love having you listen, 2488 02:18:03,879 --> 02:18:07,960 Speaker 1: love having you lie and wait. Tom Brady had some 2489 02:18:08,120 --> 02:18:10,400 Speaker 1: comeback talk, but it really wasn't comeback talk. I mean 2490 02:18:10,480 --> 02:18:15,520 Speaker 1: someone merely asked him, would you be open to coming back? 2491 02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:18,400 Speaker 1: And considering how much tom Brady accomplished during his NFL 2492 02:18:18,440 --> 02:18:21,400 Speaker 1: playing career. I guess you might expect an needy team 2493 02:18:21,440 --> 02:18:24,600 Speaker 1: to maybe be a little enthusiastic about a potential comeback 2494 02:18:24,760 --> 02:18:28,640 Speaker 1: should the stars align. Look what happened Joe Flacco last year. 2495 02:18:28,760 --> 02:18:31,560 Speaker 1: That worked out pretty well. And on a recent appearance 2496 02:18:31,600 --> 02:18:34,280 Speaker 1: of a show called Get Up with Jeremy Fowler, he 2497 02:18:34,280 --> 02:18:36,800 Speaker 1: addressed Brady's recent suggestion that he would be open to 2498 02:18:37,160 --> 02:18:41,520 Speaker 1: an NFL comeback. According to Foller, the prospect of Brady 2499 02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:44,400 Speaker 1: potentially coming back and again, the stars would really have 2500 02:18:44,480 --> 02:18:46,959 Speaker 1: to align. You'd have to do somebody in contention in November. 2501 02:18:47,400 --> 02:18:53,440 Speaker 1: Brady's not going to training camp, right But apparently that 2502 02:18:53,680 --> 02:18:56,920 Speaker 1: prospect of Tom Brady even considering coming back is that 2503 02:18:57,080 --> 02:19:00,920 Speaker 1: almost no traction in NFL circles. Some scouts have suc 2504 02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:04,600 Speaker 1: said they really believe even in his final season, Brady 2505 02:19:04,760 --> 02:19:07,280 Speaker 1: was lacking in motivation. They saw on his face he 2506 02:19:07,360 --> 02:19:10,120 Speaker 1: wasn't the same guy, maybe because he was going through 2507 02:19:10,160 --> 02:19:12,240 Speaker 1: divorce or whatever. But the truth of the matter is 2508 02:19:12,240 --> 02:19:16,360 Speaker 1: around NFL circles, there's not a lot of interest maybe 2509 02:19:16,520 --> 02:19:18,680 Speaker 1: that Brady would do that, now, I get it. Brady 2510 02:19:18,840 --> 02:19:20,600 Speaker 1: was just having fun on a podcast when he made 2511 02:19:20,640 --> 02:19:23,440 Speaker 1: the comments. Maybe he wasn't even serious, he was merely 2512 02:19:23,480 --> 02:19:25,280 Speaker 1: asking a question. But the truth of the matter is, 2513 02:19:25,320 --> 02:19:28,119 Speaker 1: even if Brady was serious about a comeback, it sounds 2514 02:19:28,200 --> 02:19:31,360 Speaker 1: like the NFL has moved on and their Luke warrem 2515 02:19:31,440 --> 02:19:34,280 Speaker 1: about the prospect of Tom Brady ever coming back. So 2516 02:19:34,400 --> 02:19:36,280 Speaker 1: to those of those folks who lost their mind about 2517 02:19:36,320 --> 02:19:39,560 Speaker 1: this possibility, I would say there's a high probability Tom 2518 02:19:39,600 --> 02:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Brady has played his last snap in the NFL. Coming 2519 02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:45,960 Speaker 1: up Chris Profet's World Soccer. But first we go back 2520 02:19:45,959 --> 02:19:48,000 Speaker 1: to our guy, Martin Weiss with the latest. 2521 02:19:49,200 --> 02:19:52,560 Speaker 8: You know, Bernie, what's interesting about that conversation about Tom Brady. 2522 02:19:53,240 --> 02:19:55,160 Speaker 8: One thing I did want to touch on. It's gonna 2523 02:19:55,200 --> 02:19:58,200 Speaker 8: be fascinating this season as Bill Belichick sits on the 2524 02:19:58,320 --> 02:20:00,600 Speaker 8: sidelines and a lot of people think it's coaching career 2525 02:20:00,720 --> 02:20:04,040 Speaker 8: is over. But as the first coaches on the hot seat, 2526 02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:06,800 Speaker 8: they're gonna say, we could have Bill Bellichick instead of 2527 02:20:07,040 --> 02:20:07,440 Speaker 8: this guy. 2528 02:20:07,520 --> 02:20:09,200 Speaker 1: I think he I think there are three or four 2529 02:20:09,240 --> 02:20:11,560 Speaker 1: teams that'll be interested after next year. But that's a 2530 02:20:11,600 --> 02:20:12,240 Speaker 1: fair analogy. 2531 02:20:12,360 --> 02:20:15,520 Speaker 8: Go ahead, all right anyway, Uh, not football, but we 2532 02:20:15,600 --> 02:20:18,680 Speaker 8: have hockey and basketball playoffs in full swing right now. 2533 02:20:18,760 --> 02:20:21,600 Speaker 8: All of these game Oness, the Hurricanes beat the Islanders 2534 02:20:21,640 --> 02:20:24,119 Speaker 8: three to one. Bruins pounded the Maple Leafs. 2535 02:20:23,959 --> 02:20:24,560 Speaker 9: Five to one. 2536 02:20:24,959 --> 02:20:27,360 Speaker 8: In the NBA, the Nuggets had beaten the Lakers last 2537 02:20:27,400 --> 02:20:30,240 Speaker 8: eight times they played last night, makes it nine Denver wins, 2538 02:20:30,320 --> 02:20:32,880 Speaker 8: one to fourteen to one to Zho three. Lebron had 2539 02:20:32,959 --> 02:20:35,560 Speaker 8: seven turnovers to go along with twenty seven points and 2540 02:20:35,640 --> 02:20:39,320 Speaker 8: eight assists. Three Denver starters with double doubles, the Koley Okins, 2541 02:20:39,400 --> 02:20:42,320 Speaker 8: Jabal Murray and Aaron Gordon. Air Gordon had twelve points 2542 02:20:42,320 --> 02:20:45,760 Speaker 8: and eleven rebounds in the win. The Minnesota Timberwolves beat 2543 02:20:45,800 --> 02:20:48,760 Speaker 8: the Phoenix Suns one twenty to ninety five. Anthony Edwards, 2544 02:20:48,840 --> 02:20:51,920 Speaker 8: you know he's now has four straight thirty five and 2545 02:20:52,080 --> 02:20:55,119 Speaker 8: five games coming up. On Michael Jordan, as you said, 2546 02:20:55,640 --> 02:20:57,960 Speaker 8: had as I said earlier today, I shuldpose and in 2547 02:20:58,080 --> 02:21:00,800 Speaker 8: your game.

They clinched it here 2583 02:22:59,160 --> 02:23:01,280 Speaker 4: they had been in the net National League last year, 2584 02:23:01,640 --> 02:23:05,720 Speaker 4: moved up to the English Football League Level two and 2585 02:23:06,200 --> 02:23:08,200 Speaker 4: here this past week with how the rest of the 2586 02:23:08,280 --> 02:23:11,879 Speaker 4: league played out and a dominating six MIERL win over 2587 02:23:12,080 --> 02:23:16,800 Speaker 4: Forrest Green, they have secured promotion third in League two 2588 02:23:16,959 --> 02:23:19,960 Speaker 4: and they were moving up to EFL League One. Let's 2589 02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:23,720 Speaker 4: recap you on how that works. So there is three 2590 02:23:23,840 --> 02:23:26,720 Speaker 4: levels the EFL before the Premier League. The Premier League 2591 02:23:26,800 --> 02:23:29,840 Speaker 4: is the top of the English table structure the ladder 2592 02:23:29,879 --> 02:23:30,360 Speaker 4: if you will. 2593 02:23:30,920 --> 02:23:32,600 Speaker 9: League two goes to League one. 2594 02:23:32,959 --> 02:23:35,800 Speaker 4: League one then goes to the Championship and if you 2595 02:23:35,920 --> 02:23:39,520 Speaker 4: win and are promoted from the EFL Championship, you are 2596 02:23:39,600 --> 02:23:42,400 Speaker 4: in the Premier League. Now let's not count those chickens 2597 02:23:42,520 --> 02:23:45,000 Speaker 4: just yet. It's a long way to go, but it 2598 02:23:45,160 --> 02:23:47,680 Speaker 4: is once. It is remarkable for a club that was 2599 02:23:47,879 --> 02:23:51,520 Speaker 4: scraping the barrel in the national league, for a club 2600 02:23:51,600 --> 02:23:54,360 Speaker 4: that was in so much peril before this whole little 2601 02:23:54,440 --> 02:23:59,680 Speaker 4: experiment began with the American star investors and owners and 2602 02:24:00,160 --> 02:24:04,800 Speaker 4: this reality TV show and everything all coming together and 2603 02:24:04,959 --> 02:24:09,560 Speaker 4: two years running, Rexham have secured their promotion a dream 2604 02:24:09,640 --> 02:24:12,560 Speaker 4: come true. Now this time they won't be coming with hardware, 2605 02:24:12,800 --> 02:24:15,800 Speaker 4: going up to League One. They actually did not win 2606 02:24:16,640 --> 02:24:20,480 Speaker 4: the EFL League Two. That would be a signed by 2607 02:24:20,520 --> 02:24:24,000 Speaker 4: the name of Stockport County, who sealed their title with 2608 02:24:24,120 --> 02:24:26,840 Speaker 4: a win five to two over Notts County. 2609 02:24:26,920 --> 02:24:29,040 Speaker 5: Back on this past Tuesday. 2610 02:24:29,400 --> 02:24:32,800 Speaker 4: Still in two years, suddenly rumping up to the English 2611 02:24:32,840 --> 02:24:36,000 Speaker 4: Football's third tier of play. Not a whole hell of 2612 02:24:36,200 --> 02:24:39,560 Speaker 4: that of a return to glory for a club that 2613 02:24:40,040 --> 02:24:43,520 Speaker 4: ages and ages ago used to have so much that 2614 02:24:43,640 --> 02:24:46,640 Speaker 4: they could feel proud about, And this one though, they 2615 02:24:46,720 --> 02:24:51,080 Speaker 4: will feel proud. Fans over there, long long suffering and 2616 02:24:51,280 --> 02:24:53,840 Speaker 4: waiting for a return. It's one of these things where 2617 02:24:53,920 --> 02:24:57,320 Speaker 4: I keep watching the TV show and keep wondering if 2618 02:24:57,440 --> 02:25:00,560 Speaker 4: the good times can keep rolling. Moving up League One 2619 02:25:00,600 --> 02:25:02,760 Speaker 4: puts them closer and closer to the big boys seats 2620 02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:05,959 Speaker 4: in the Championship, where teams do come and go from 2621 02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:09,920 Speaker 4: the Premier League quite often, but in the top flights. Bernie, 2622 02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:14,400 Speaker 4: we have on Sunday the last El Classico of the 2623 02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:19,560 Speaker 4: La Liga schedule coming up here Barcelona Real Madrid in 2624 02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:24,080 Speaker 4: Barnabo Stadium. Here in Madrid, it is a tale of 2625 02:25:24,160 --> 02:25:26,400 Speaker 4: two clubs. Once again. We always like to check in 2626 02:25:26,480 --> 02:25:31,120 Speaker 4: on Barcelona and Real Madrid, the hottest rivalry in sports 2627 02:25:31,400 --> 02:25:34,000 Speaker 4: all across the world, two of the biggest clubs in 2628 02:25:34,200 --> 02:25:37,199 Speaker 4: the world, and once again a bit of a familiar 2629 02:25:37,320 --> 02:25:40,240 Speaker 4: story as we check in and find that Barcelona is 2630 02:25:40,440 --> 02:25:44,160 Speaker 4: reeling in spite of some promise that they were hoping 2631 02:25:44,280 --> 02:25:47,960 Speaker 4: to fix upon here in the twenty twenty three to 2632 02:25:48,080 --> 02:25:51,560 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four season. It look with about eight points 2633 02:25:51,600 --> 02:25:53,840 Speaker 4: in about a month to go, it would take a 2634 02:25:53,959 --> 02:25:58,800 Speaker 4: miracle for them to catch up with longtime rivals Real Madrid, 2635 02:25:58,840 --> 02:26:03,160 Speaker 4: who once again sit the Spanish table. But the fortunes 2636 02:26:03,200 --> 02:26:07,600 Speaker 4: and misfortunes of each club don't really stop there. Barcelona's 2637 02:26:07,640 --> 02:26:12,640 Speaker 4: manager Zavi Hernandez leaving a high profile job at Barcelona 2638 02:26:12,800 --> 02:26:17,959 Speaker 4: amid amid frustration, burnout and most of all, just blaming 2639 02:26:18,120 --> 02:26:22,600 Speaker 4: fans and supporters for unrealistic expectations as the Barcelona crown 2640 02:26:22,680 --> 02:26:26,200 Speaker 4: starts to turn ugly, also getting slapped with a ban 2641 02:26:26,360 --> 02:26:30,320 Speaker 4: for racism after fans were throwing up Nazi salutes during 2642 02:26:30,360 --> 02:26:34,240 Speaker 4: a Champions League match against Paris Saint Germain. And sure, 2643 02:26:34,280 --> 02:26:37,160 Speaker 4: while we've got that Champions League wound open, let's talk 2644 02:26:37,200 --> 02:26:40,920 Speaker 4: about it. Barcelona went into the second leg of the 2645 02:26:41,040 --> 02:26:45,240 Speaker 4: Champions League against Paris Saint Germain up one goal, up 2646 02:26:45,320 --> 02:26:48,920 Speaker 4: one goal from the first match, and proceeded to lose 2647 02:26:49,480 --> 02:26:55,680 Speaker 4: one four at home in Barcelona, allowing Paris Saint Germain 2648 02:26:55,959 --> 02:26:59,320 Speaker 4: and Killing Embape to advance six to four to the 2649 02:26:59,440 --> 02:27:06,160 Speaker 4: UAFA semi Finals, where they will take on Borussia Dortmund. Meanwhile, 2650 02:27:06,560 --> 02:27:12,520 Speaker 4: Real Madrid, by contrast, talking about the fortunes of that 2651 02:27:12,760 --> 02:27:16,000 Speaker 4: club right now, they were lucky and they moved past 2652 02:27:16,440 --> 02:27:20,160 Speaker 4: Manchester City on penalty kicks after the second leg of 2653 02:27:20,200 --> 02:27:24,160 Speaker 4: the aggregate was tied. And you know, expected to be 2654 02:27:24,240 --> 02:27:27,280 Speaker 4: the home here of Killing Embape when he leaves Paris 2655 02:27:27,320 --> 02:27:29,640 Speaker 4: Saint Germain at the end of the Sea of the 2656 02:27:29,760 --> 02:27:34,120 Speaker 4: French season, and on top of that, talk about a 2657 02:27:34,560 --> 02:27:39,000 Speaker 4: star in Jude Bellingham that they have they and that's 2658 02:27:39,080 --> 02:27:42,960 Speaker 4: not even the stop of their embarrassment of riches. But 2659 02:27:43,080 --> 02:27:46,480 Speaker 4: Bellingham might be the greatest jewel they have waiting to 2660 02:27:46,720 --> 02:27:51,000 Speaker 4: pair with killing Embape, a man who, in spite of 2661 02:27:51,080 --> 02:27:55,520 Speaker 4: some injuries, just seems unstoppable as he just continues to 2662 02:27:55,640 --> 02:27:58,920 Speaker 4: score goal after goal after goal in La Liga and 2663 02:27:59,120 --> 02:28:02,640 Speaker 4: in the Champions It's a rivalry that continues to fascinate 2664 02:28:02,760 --> 02:28:07,160 Speaker 4: us this l Classico. It's a rivalry between two clubs 2665 02:28:07,200 --> 02:28:09,920 Speaker 4: that have always boasted the two some of the best 2666 02:28:09,959 --> 02:28:13,520 Speaker 4: stars in the world, and yet Barcelona seems to be 2667 02:28:13,640 --> 02:28:18,199 Speaker 4: permanently a step behind, from having to finally add sponsors 2668 02:28:18,240 --> 02:28:20,600 Speaker 4: to the start to the front of their jerseys, to 2669 02:28:21,840 --> 02:28:27,560 Speaker 4: various financial woes, to struggling and struggling to sign the 2670 02:28:27,680 --> 02:28:30,640 Speaker 4: kind of caliber players that Real Madrid gets. Meanwhile, Real 2671 02:28:30,720 --> 02:28:34,240 Speaker 4: Rodrid seems to just get richer and richer, stronger and 2672 02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:36,840 Speaker 4: stronger as the years go by. They'll be taking on 2673 02:28:37,920 --> 02:28:41,320 Speaker 4: Bayern Munich in the semi finals of the Champions League 2674 02:28:41,360 --> 02:28:45,000 Speaker 4: and they could be looking at another set of Champions 2675 02:28:45,080 --> 02:28:48,600 Speaker 4: League and La Liga crowns. If they can get this home. 2676 02:28:49,240 --> 02:28:52,240 Speaker 4: It's something that I feel like in Spain is starting 2677 02:28:52,360 --> 02:28:54,039 Speaker 4: to get a little long in the tooth, and we'll 2678 02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:58,360 Speaker 4: see if the Barcelona can salvage any kind of pride, 2679 02:28:58,720 --> 02:29:01,360 Speaker 4: anything at all. It all has to start here on 2680 02:29:01,520 --> 02:29:05,320 Speaker 4: Sunday and they have to win l Classico. That's for 2681 02:29:05,400 --> 02:29:07,280 Speaker 4: us in the world of soccer, Bernie, We're coming down 2682 02:29:07,280 --> 02:29:09,760 Speaker 4: to the home stretches about a month ago in many 2683 02:29:09,800 --> 02:29:13,520 Speaker 4: of the domestics out there.

Well. Look, the New York Yankees Saturday honored 2714 02:31:06,920 --> 02:31:11,920 Speaker 1: a longtime radio legend who'd been behind the booth. He 2715 02:31:12,080 --> 02:31:14,880 Speaker 1: was behind the booth. He was in the booth behind 2716 02:31:14,920 --> 02:31:19,840 Speaker 1: the microphone for sixty four years. And I had the 2717 02:31:20,080 --> 02:31:23,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to meet John Sterling once in two thousand and 2718 02:31:23,360 --> 02:31:27,880 Speaker 1: four when the Yankees passed through Comerica Park, and that 2719 02:31:28,040 --> 02:31:29,720 Speaker 1: was when he was doing It's an a Bomb from 2720 02:31:29,760 --> 02:31:32,680 Speaker 1: a Rod. They told him to stop doing anyway. People 2721 02:31:32,760 --> 02:31:34,960 Speaker 1: can think he's a little corny, and people can, you know, 2722 02:31:35,560 --> 02:31:39,800 Speaker 1: wonder whether or not some of his expressions were as 2723 02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:42,480 Speaker 1: funny as he thought they were. But this is a 2724 02:31:42,560 --> 02:31:45,280 Speaker 1: guy who announced his retirement suddenly at age eighty five, 2725 02:31:46,120 --> 02:31:48,040 Speaker 1: and he's going to be missed. And part of it 2726 02:31:48,280 --> 02:31:51,960 Speaker 1: is his personalized home run calls. They became what some 2727 02:31:52,080 --> 02:31:54,960 Speaker 1: people would call the soundtrack of summer for lots of 2728 02:31:55,080 --> 02:31:59,880 Speaker 1: generations of Yankees fans. He had a home run unique 2729 02:32:00,080 --> 02:32:03,080 Speaker 1: call for many, many, many Yankees. You've heard the Aaron 2730 02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:06,200 Speaker 1: Judge all rise, here comes the Judge, or you know, 2731 02:32:06,720 --> 02:32:10,080 Speaker 1: he would call Derek Jeter, l capy ten and even 2732 02:32:10,240 --> 02:32:13,440 Speaker 1: even the bench players like Eric Hinsky, and he would 2733 02:32:13,680 --> 02:32:16,120 Speaker 1: Hinsky would hit a dinger. He'd say, Hinsk me, Hinsk 2734 02:32:16,200 --> 02:32:19,840 Speaker 1: me with your best shot. Little Pat Benatar reference there right. 2735 02:32:21,200 --> 02:32:24,160 Speaker 1: But the truth of the matter is the players loved it. 2736 02:32:24,720 --> 02:32:28,320 Speaker 1: And there's talk that when spring training would roll around 2737 02:32:28,360 --> 02:32:32,280 Speaker 1: every year, fans and players would try to guess, I 2738 02:32:32,400 --> 02:32:35,640 Speaker 1: wonder what kind of baseball home run call He'll come 2739 02:32:35,720 --> 02:32:38,000 Speaker 1: up with? Which player this year? And he would advote. 2740 02:32:38,440 --> 02:32:41,600 Speaker 1: He would, you know, often invoke former Yankees, baseball history, 2741 02:32:41,680 --> 02:32:45,320 Speaker 1: pop culture, if you do your Broadway musicals, if you 2742 02:32:45,520 --> 02:32:48,920 Speaker 1: you know the Italian language, you name it. Fans would 2743 02:32:48,920 --> 02:32:52,800 Speaker 1: try to guess Sterling's calls, and players, Aaron Judge admitted, 2744 02:32:52,840 --> 02:32:54,720 Speaker 1: we'd be sitting in the bus. We'd trade for somebody 2745 02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:57,119 Speaker 1: new or maybe someone's coming up it's their first game, 2746 02:32:57,160 --> 02:32:58,800 Speaker 1: and he'd say, hey, what what are we going to do? 2747 02:32:58,879 --> 02:33:02,840 Speaker 1: What's John going to do if this player hits a 2748 02:33:02,879 --> 02:33:07,240 Speaker 1: home run? Not some of these aren't, you know, the greatest, 2749 02:33:07,879 --> 02:33:11,160 Speaker 1: but they're legendary because John Sterling was a legend, and 2750 02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:14,240 Speaker 1: there was sort of a vote and ten of the 2751 02:33:14,320 --> 02:33:17,599 Speaker 1: best John Sterling home run calls, and there were variations. 2752 02:33:18,920 --> 02:33:21,920 Speaker 1: These are some of the examples. Bernie Williams, he would 2753 02:33:21,959 --> 02:33:24,040 Speaker 1: call it burn, baby burn. That was not the first 2754 02:33:24,080 --> 02:33:26,840 Speaker 1: Sterling call, but for all intents and purposes, it kind 2755 02:33:26,879 --> 02:33:30,240 Speaker 1: of started the craze. All right. Bernie Williams made his 2756 02:33:30,320 --> 02:33:34,160 Speaker 1: major League baseball debut in nineteen ninety one, and whenever 2757 02:33:34,240 --> 02:33:37,920 Speaker 1: he would hit home run, John Sterling would say, burn, Baby, burn, 2758 02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:43,400 Speaker 1: and it caught on. Then Tino Martinez in nineteen ninety seven, right, 2759 02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:48,120 Speaker 1: he called it the bam Tino. Why he was combining 2760 02:33:48,200 --> 02:33:52,200 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth the Great Bambino and Tino Martinez. He got 2761 02:33:52,240 --> 02:33:54,760 Speaker 1: a lot of mileage out of that. When Jason Giammy 2762 02:33:54,760 --> 02:33:57,000 Speaker 1: would hit a home run, he'd call out the Giambino, 2763 02:33:57,760 --> 02:34:00,120 Speaker 1: And then Gary Sanchez would hit a home run, call 2764 02:34:00,200 --> 02:34:04,720 Speaker 1: it the Sanchino. Okay, yeah, is it corny? Don't act 2765 02:34:04,800 --> 02:34:06,760 Speaker 1: like he didn't like it. John Sterling was a legend. 2766 02:34:06,800 --> 02:34:09,879 Speaker 1: It due was eighty five years old, still relevant. How 2767 02:34:09,920 --> 02:34:13,640 Speaker 1: about Hideki Matsui, one of the greatest sluggers in Japanese baseball. 2768 02:34:13,760 --> 02:34:16,760 Speaker 1: Matsui got to New York with not a lot of 2769 02:34:16,800 --> 02:34:19,240 Speaker 1: fanfare at three, but by a two thousand and six 2770 02:34:19,280 --> 02:34:20,880 Speaker 1: they were in the World Series. I actually talked to 2771 02:34:20,920 --> 02:34:23,360 Speaker 1: him once. What a gentleman. I covered the two thousand 2772 02:34:23,360 --> 02:34:27,840 Speaker 1: and six World Series in Detroit. But whenever Hideki Matsui 2773 02:34:27,920 --> 02:34:30,960 Speaker 1: would hit a home run, John Sterling would call it 2774 02:34:31,120 --> 02:34:35,080 Speaker 1: a thrilla from Godzilla, and I guess you can't go 2775 02:34:35,160 --> 02:34:38,080 Speaker 1: wrong with a Godzilla reference, right then. Of course that 2776 02:34:38,120 --> 02:34:40,200 Speaker 1: I asked John Sterling about this in the press box 2777 02:34:40,240 --> 02:34:43,400 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, and a bomb from Ay Rod. 2778 02:34:43,520 --> 02:34:45,960 Speaker 1: Now A Rod hit three hundred and sixty one home 2779 02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:48,040 Speaker 1: runs with the Yankees, believe it or not, when you 2780 02:34:48,120 --> 02:34:50,840 Speaker 1: add up the regular season in the postseason by far 2781 02:34:51,000 --> 02:34:54,600 Speaker 1: the most of anybody during the John Sterling era. And 2782 02:34:54,720 --> 02:34:59,400 Speaker 1: Sterling actually called almost five one hundred straight games from 2783 02:34:59,480 --> 02:35:01,760 Speaker 1: nine eighty on to July twenty nineteen, so we called 2784 02:35:01,840 --> 02:35:04,200 Speaker 1: every single one of a Rod's home runs and Ben 2785 02:35:04,240 --> 02:35:07,480 Speaker 1: Stripes three hundred and sixty one of them. But one 2786 02:35:07,520 --> 02:35:09,879 Speaker 1: of the most used calls, the most used call an 2787 02:35:09,959 --> 02:35:12,200 Speaker 1: a bomb from a Rod, and I was told he 2788 02:35:12,320 --> 02:35:14,920 Speaker 1: was he was asked not to do it. And how 2789 02:35:14,959 --> 02:35:19,240 Speaker 1: about remember Robinson Canoe, Robbie Cano, don't you know right, 2790 02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:21,480 Speaker 1: he was kind of cool and calm, just kind of 2791 02:35:21,600 --> 02:35:24,240 Speaker 1: rolled off his tongue. Now this one I don't remember, 2792 02:35:24,320 --> 02:35:26,280 Speaker 1: but somehow it made the top ten. Of course, John 2793 02:35:26,800 --> 02:35:28,720 Speaker 1: Johnny Damon he would call it, you know, he hit 2794 02:35:28,760 --> 02:35:32,119 Speaker 1: a Johnny rocket, but he would call it positively Daimonic 2795 02:35:32,600 --> 02:35:35,720 Speaker 1: that one I don't remember right, but I do remember 2796 02:35:35,840 --> 02:35:39,720 Speaker 1: Jacobe Elsberry he Elsbury is it? Or alex Verdugo Alexander 2797 02:35:39,760 --> 02:35:45,080 Speaker 1: the Great or Brett Gardner Gardner plants one Gardner plant. 2798 02:35:45,240 --> 02:35:48,520 Speaker 1: You see little corny right, guardy goes yardy, or it's 2799 02:35:48,520 --> 02:35:51,760 Speaker 1: a guardy party. They were also part of it. Sometimes players, 2800 02:35:52,240 --> 02:35:56,000 Speaker 1: they would warrant two or three. Uh, Brett Gardner had 2801 02:35:56,080 --> 02:35:58,600 Speaker 1: Gardner plants. One guardy goes yardy and it's a Guardi party. 2802 02:35:58,640 --> 02:36:01,640 Speaker 1: How about Mark to Cher? Now you probably couldn't have 2803 02:36:01,640 --> 02:36:05,000 Speaker 1: done this one before, you know, two thousand and what 2804 02:36:05,480 --> 02:36:09,720 Speaker 1: eight two thousand and six, Mark tech Sherer. Whenever you 2805 02:36:09,760 --> 02:36:13,120 Speaker 1: would hit a home run, he sends a text message, 2806 02:36:13,280 --> 02:36:17,000 Speaker 1: a text, not text, a text message, which is ironic 2807 02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:21,439 Speaker 1: because even until this past week when John Sterling retired, 2808 02:36:22,160 --> 02:36:23,640 Speaker 1: yeah he had a cell phone, but it was a 2809 02:36:23,760 --> 02:36:28,120 Speaker 1: flip phone, he would call it a text message. And finally, 2810 02:36:28,600 --> 02:36:32,720 Speaker 1: labor Taurus like a good glaber taurus is there? See 2811 02:36:32,720 --> 02:36:34,960 Speaker 1: what he did there? A little play on the state 2812 02:36:35,040 --> 02:36:36,959 Speaker 1: farm jingle like a good neighbor. Okay, you don't don't 2813 02:36:36,959 --> 02:36:38,760 Speaker 1: make me spelled off for you or you Also sometimes 2814 02:36:38,800 --> 02:36:41,800 Speaker 1: he would say it's Glaber day or he's the glaber 2815 02:36:41,840 --> 02:36:46,440 Speaker 1: of the month for Taurus. Those were Sterling's most clever calls. 2816 02:36:47,120 --> 02:36:49,520 Speaker 1: John Sterling, you did the game proud, and the Yankees 2817 02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:53,560 Speaker 1: did us proud by honoring you Saturday night. Very well 2818 02:36:53,640 --> 02:36:56,199 Speaker 1: deserved sixty four years in the booth. He was eighty 2819 02:36:56,280 --> 02:36:59,119 Speaker 1: five years young. John Sterling looked forward to your next 2820 02:36:59,200 --> 02:37:02,120 Speaker 1: eighty five years. You earned it, you deserved it.
