Speaker 2: the news desk repping is Detroit.

85
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: That was that on purpose, because you know how why

86
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: fox Man?

87
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: No, it was By the way, do we have Dodgers

88
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: Phillies on somewhere? Can you get that? I think that's

89
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: about that's about to start right now. Shout out, uh,

90
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Philly's handed. The Dodgers are first loss of the season

91
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: yesterday there now eight and one, and it was from

92
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: former Dodger Trey Turner, who made the final out on

93
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor trying to steal a base. But uh no, no,

94
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: definitely not like they were apps, Like their bats were

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: silent until the ninth inning. But before that, the Dodgers

96
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: got off to a historic start to the season. They're

97
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: the first championship team to start a season going eight

98
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: and oh. Six of those eight wins were come from

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: behind wins, which they were close again to doing yesterday.

100
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers are just the comeback kings. Forty seven

101
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: comeback wins last season, which was the most in MLB,

102
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: and this season they already had like one of the

103
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 2: most historic comebacks, including which was a Tawny's insane walk

104
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: off home run on his MVP Bobblehead night. You just

105
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: kind of knew that was gonna happen. I was at home.

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, no, he's going to hit a

107
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: He's definitely going to hit a walk off home run.

108
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: This is what he does. He steps to the play

109
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: at the biggest moments and he delivers. But that was

110
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: only his second walk off home run in his career,

111
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: which is like kind of surprising, just because he's done

112
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: so many amazing things.

113
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: You know, he's a two way player, but last year

114
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: he was obviously able to focus on hitting, and it's

115
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: just it's.

116
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: Still on an MVP for it. First ever, what are we?

117
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: Was he up right now? I was like, I just

118
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: saw you point at the Yeah, laid and off for

119
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 2: the Dodgers.

120
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: Although he made kind of a critical air yesterday as

121
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: far as his He made the decision to steal second

122
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: base with two outs in the evening and Mookie Betts

123
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: was at the plate, so that kind of didn't make

124
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: a whole lot of sense to try that, And then TJ.

125
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: Real Mudo nailed in Yeah.

126
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: I mean phillies are good. Also, like, okay, we're going

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: to get to this right now, because big conversation in

128
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball this week has been the torpedo bats. Right.

129
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: We were live last week watching the end of that

130
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: football score Yankee game where they hit nine home runs.

131
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: And it had like just come out as we were

132
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: on air that they had done this, like the breaking

133
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: news they had innovated, they had written vented a whole

134
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: new type of bats.

135
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: Which is like genius, like it's absolutely sane. Dodgers players

136
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: just ordered them or just kind of getting them this week.

137
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: But you have to remember a lot of these, like

138
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: the Yankees players and Marlins who have them. Like now,

139
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: they've been practicing with this, like all through spring training.

140
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: So we're going to play a little game called love

141
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: it or hate it right now, and we're gonna start

142
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: with MLB's new torpedo bats because personally, a genius yeah,

143
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: completed and created this, and it's completely legal. Everybody wants

144
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: to see home runs and dingers, right and they can't

145
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: do steroids or.

146
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: Something runs. I said it kind of jest, but I'm like,

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: you can't. We can't tell guys that take steroids, but

148
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 3: like if you can, if you can manufacture dingers, uh

149
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: with with it in a legal way. Although now, like

150
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: there's been back and forth. MLB initially came out and

151
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: said yeah, they're legal, then they're like, eh, we're gonna

152
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: have to check on it, and now like I'm I'm

153
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: all for it, I'm all foreign. I don't know, what

154
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: do you think.

155
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: Anybody that doesn't like this is just sour grapes or

156
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: they don't like the Yankees or they don't like whichever

157
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: teams have it. It's fantastic, It's great for baseball. You

158
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: want home runs, you want big hits, you want offense.

159
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: That's what's gonna sell tickets, That's what's gonna get booties

160
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: in a seat.

161
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: That's what makes it.

162
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I can appreciate the art of a

163
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: picture's duel just as well as everyone else, but like

164
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: from day to day, no, I want it.

165
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: You want offensive explosion, dinger city baby.

166
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: You want big hits, you want runs, Yeah, this is

167
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: a great way to do that. On top of that,

168
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: I want the team that I like to be thinking

169
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: of ways to get an edge. Yes, I want the

170
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: whole organization thinking about this stuff. And if you're towing

171
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: the line, that means you're trying.

172
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: Thank you.

173
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: I went to an SEC school. If you're not cheating,

174
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: you're not trying you.

175
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up an athlete. But it's not

176
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: like it's not like illegal cheating. It's like you're pushing

177
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: the edge, right, you know the boundaries, you know the rules.

178
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Like the Dodgers with all the deferred money, they're not

179
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: doing anything illegal, but they're definitely winning the game in

180
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: that sense.

181
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 4: Look for an edge wherever you go wherever.

182
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: Yes, I just I don't this is we should be

183
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: rewarding innovations in a sport that has to change. I

184
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: mean the pitch clock, and you know, I feel like

185
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: that's made the game better. It's made it so much

186
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: better more. My big thing is efficiency. I love that

187
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: baseball is now more efficient, especially when you're talking about

188
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: you one hundred and sixty two games in a season.

189
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's not including a month of spring training, and

190
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: then all of.

191
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: That kind of stuff is a regular season games, So

192
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: like you should be trying to actively find way, yes

193
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: to make the game more exciting, yea better all of

194
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. I'm not going to penalize other

195
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: teams for coming up with it. First.

196
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: My favorite thing about this and if the league is

197
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: going to look at it and determine how they feel

198
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: about it, fine, But as long as it's legal, yes,

199
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 4: every team in the league by June will have a

200
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 4: couple of guys with these bats, and every fan base

201
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: that's mad about it right now will be loving it

202
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 4: when they're guys are hitting homers.

203
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: And so players that are already like ordered the torpedo bat.

204
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: You got Adley Richmond on the oriole. You've got a

205
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: couple of Cubs, Dansby Swanson, Reds Ellie de la Cruz, Twins,

206
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Carlos Correa, Mets Francisco Lindoor Yankees obviously have a bunch Phillies,

207
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: Alec bowm Like there's there are a good amount like

208
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: Max Mounsey ordered it. There's a handful of Dodger players

209
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: that just ordered it and just gonna get it. Like

210
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: there's if everyone can get it, you can.

211
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: Get it at the end of the day, Like this

212
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: is going to level the playing field once come more

213
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: widely available, and then it's going but it's going to

214
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: result in more offense. So you're leveling the playing field

215
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: and you're just kind of infusing more offense in the game.

216
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: Beautiful overall, which I think is great. It's so beautiful.

217
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: I just really can't believe we got this far without

218
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: somebody coming up for somebody did this.

219
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: Like, don't get me wrong, this.

220
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: Power is going to be Why wouldn't that be where

221
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: the most massive the bat is.

222
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: I had never thought to do this, but it's not

223
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: my job now, it's not my job to think about

224
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: stuff like this. I can't believe it took until twenty

225
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: twenty five for somebody to be like, what if we

226
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: switched the bat up?

227
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: A little bit mit graduates.

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: What if we added more material to the place where

229
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: the ball makes contact the most, and wouldn't that maybe

230
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 3: nug that's gonna add.

231
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: Act, Like yeah, it's a no brainer. Okay. So it

232
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: was also NFL owners meetings this week and there were

233
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: a few big rule changes and topics being discussed. So

234
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: let's keep that going with the love it or hate it,

235
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: and we're gonna start with the tush push that got pushed. Basically,

236
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: the NFL isn't doing anything about it right now, and

237
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: that vote has been pushed back to a later day.

238
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: It had support of sixteen teams, but you need twenty four.

239
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: And my thoughts on this is, don't hate the player,

240
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: hate the game. The Eagles figured it out a way

241
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: to be better than everybody else at something, and they

242
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: created a play that can't be stopped. And now everyone

243
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: else is upset that they can't do it and they're

244
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: trying to get a banned. Stop crying and learn how

245
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: to defend it. Like it's not illegal. I think it's

246
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: extremely entertaining, Like it'd be different if it was like

247
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: not a fun thing to watch. It's still like crazy

248
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: to watch and it's so on brand for Philly too,

249
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: like it's great for their brand.

250
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: My whole thing that I just wrote on our notes

251
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: was like, grow up, grow up, you get over it.

252
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: You hear Jason Kelsey talk about it too. What is

253
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: going kind of under talked about in this whole discussion

254
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: about the Toush push is the reason so many teams

255
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: can't do it. Hey, We've talked about Dave and I've

256
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: talked about this, like Jalen Hurts is like built a

257
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: lab to execute this place. Yes, But the biggest determinant

258
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: on whether or not a Toush push works because other

259
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: teams try to run it and they don't necessarily run

260
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 3: it to the effecting this that the Philadelphia don't you

261
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: do it? It's because of the offensive line. It's and

262
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: particularly because of the center, And it should be bringing

263
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: more attention to how incredibly important that position is to

264
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: get the push up front to allow your quarterback to

265
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: get across the line. Is Martin like going getting getting

266
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 3: ready to say something here, I feel like you like

267
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: put the mic in front of it, but he's like,

268
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: I'm ready, No, okay, I just I think we need

269
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: to talk about more the reason that it doesn't work

270
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: for his money teams. It's because it's the offensive line

271
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: that makes it go. So it's just it's and being

272
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: someone who really appreciates it and things that they go

273
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: under appreciate it. I'm glad that this conversation is coming

274
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 3: up because I'm like, hey, yeah, you need to give

275
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 3: credit where credit is due, and it's to the big

276
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: sexy is upfront.

277
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: Dude, it's so beautiful. Bryce Harper actually had a great

278
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: quote yesterday when he was asked about the Dodgers, but

279
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: I think it also really relates to this tush push.

280
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: He was asked about the Dodgers and he said, only

281
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: losers hate what the Dodgers are doing. And I feel

282
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: like that is the exact same with this tush push.

283
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: Only losers are hating on the tush. I really thought,

284
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: get over it. I got over it.

285
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna tell me. Bryce had an

286
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: Eagles take, which wouldn't surprise you, because Philly, anyone I've ever.

287
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: Seen only losers hate on what winners are doing, Like,

288
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: get over it, figure out a way to defend it,

289
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: and move on, Like I think.

290
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: It's it's it's been the softest thing ever from the NFL.

291
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 4: The number of people complaining about this, and the one

292
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 4: that really rubbed me the wrong way was Bill's head

293
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: coach Sean McDermott talking about player safety, never mind the

294
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 4: fact that he called it four different times in the

295
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 4: AFC Championship.

296
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: So happens to have a quarterback that is pretty well

297
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 3: equipped men, Yeah.

298
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: Josh Allen should be able to run it at one

299
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: hundred percent clip and they can't. He can't do it,

300
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: The Bills can't do it. Nobody but Philly can do

301
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 4: it consistently, and so everybody just needs to shut up

302
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: and grow up.

303
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: The Bills owner came out and he was like, well,

304
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey said that it's a really dangerous play. And

305
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: Jason Kelsey went on Twitter and was like, you misunderstood

306
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: when I think ruling that does not mean dangerous. That

307
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: means it's a heavy toss. It's tough, it's a tough

308
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: play to do. And he said that when he retired

309
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: he was really glad that he doesn't't do it anymore. Yeah,

310
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: but he said it's not dangerous.

311
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: I mean you're getting white owned like it's like straight

312
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: like power to the head.

313
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

314
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: And if you're if you're the sinner running that play,

315
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: you're gonna wind up under six different players. Erry, I'm

316
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 4: sure it's not fun. But if Jason Kelsey says he

317
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: doesn't think it's dangerous, I don't think there's somebody better

318
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: equipped to comment on the him.

319
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: He is a tou push, he is, mister.

320
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 4: I wish we could. Can we get brotherly Shove going?

321
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: I think brotherly Shove is such a better name.

322
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: It is, especially because the city of Brotherly well and

323
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: still the Eagles are the only ones. I think the

324
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: toush bush is good if you are talking about this

325
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: being a general thing. And that's the other thing that

326
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: I don't get is why are you going to make

327
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: sweeping rules and legislation in the NFL for one particular team?

328
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: Play play like it's? It doesn't make any I'm.

329
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: Like me, Jealousy is a stinky cologne.

330
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: It is.

331
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: If we decided that we were going to make laws

332
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: based on what one team does at one time in

333
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: a game or what like, that's that's opening up a

334
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: wormhole in a can of worms that you don't want.

335
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: No, you don't want that, No, absolutely not. Okay, another

336
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: new role love it or hate it? Uh? The NFL

337
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: overtime rules so now twenty twenty five, both teams will

338
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: receive a possession in overtime during the regular season games.

339
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: It's the same that they had in the overtime format

340
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: for the postseason last year, and I think it's the

341
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: right call. I like years past, it felt like so

342
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: much road on the coin flip. If you won the

343
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: coin flip, you had better odds to win in overtime. Oh,

344
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: I see faces over here, and we might be getting

345
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: a different reaction here. I think it's a fair equal shot.

346
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: Both teams get a chance, and I love it.

347
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: So I don't think it changes much. And I'm gonna

348
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: let Dave tell you why. Okay, because Dave did a

349
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: whole show on the NFL and Fox podcast.

350
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 4: Let's go if we will change, Thanks for the plug. Yeah,

351
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: NFL and Fox podcast. You can find it wherever you

352
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: get your pods.

353
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: I hate it if.

354
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: We're sticking with the if we're sticking with the name

355
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 4: of this game, and I have to say love or hate,

356
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: I hate it because I don't think it's necessary.

357
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: Why.

358
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: I was curious. I wanted to know how often does

359
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: this really happen? Because you said it and a lot

360
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: of people agree. Yeah, everything rides on the coin flip

361
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: when you get to overtime.

362
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: But better odds, better odds.

363
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: And that's fair.

364
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

365
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: Since twenty twenty two, I went back and looked at

366
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: the last three regular seasons. Forty seven games have gone

367
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: to overtime in the last three years. Eight of them

368
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: were decided on the first possession by a team scoring

369
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: a touchdown. Eight out of forty seven featured a team

370
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: winning the toss, taking the ball and going and scoring

371
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: a touchdown. So you're talking about less than twenty percent

372
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: of the time that this actually happens.

373
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: Team doesn't get the opportunity.

374
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 4: Eighty percent of the time over the last three years,

375
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: both teams touched the football in overtime. Does that It

376
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: absolutely happens where a team takes the ball. My contention,

377
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: stop them to go back to the brotherly shove conversation.

378
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: Part of football is playing defense and stopping the other team.

379
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: Eighty percent of the time, somebody has managed to force

380
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: a punt, get a turnover, whatever it.

381
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: Is, that field goal, So that thank you hold the field.

382
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 4: That is part of the sport. And I hate the

383
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: idea that is just like, well, what.

384
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: Are you gonna do?

385
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: They won the coin toss, you go stop them.

386
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 3: That's part of the eight games, the eight games that

387
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: that team ended up going down the field scoring a

388
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: touchdown game over the other team doesn't get the opportunity

389
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: to do this. The eight times that that happened that

390
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: game was those games are shootouts. Yeah, those games were

391
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: an average one of thirty two points.

392
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 4: Thirty two points per game by the winning team. So

393
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 4: you're talking about games where the defenses weren't really doing

394
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 4: their job.

395
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, like the same can go with like

396
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to have defense again. Anyway, when both

397
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: people get a shot, now it's just both people get

398
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: shot in both defenses. Both offenses get a shot, both

399
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: defenses get a shot, So it is an equal fight. Here,

400
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 2: you get one more shot at it. Let's see who

401
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: guests at the.

402
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 6: End of the day.

403
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 4: I'm fine with it because it will it will assure

404
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: both teams get a chance to play offense, and especially

405
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 4: I like that it has been a thing in the

406
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 4: playoffs for a couple of years now. Yeah, because again,

407
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: when you get to that stage.

408
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: Everything is an oppotion. Everybody wants to see.

409
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: When you're talking about Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, everybody

410
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: wants to see both of those guys a chance to touch

411
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 4: the football.

412
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: Please.

413
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: My only point is it's a little bit overblown because

414
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 4: the vast majority of the time teams find a way

415
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: to get a stop, because that is ultimately half of

416
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: the half of the game is stopping the other Teamfence

417
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: matters too.

418
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: I was gonna say it kind of lets defenses off

419
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: the hook in this in this scenario because like the

420
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: exciting part of overtime in the NFL is the sudden

421
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: death aspect of it, or was? I mean, that's what

422
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: has you on the edge of your seat. That's what

423
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 3: in regular season games in particular, and it's something that

424
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: I love about the sport, that is the high stakes

425
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: of that.

426
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: I will say, interesting, I did not expect it to

427
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: be that low of a percentage.

428
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: When I started. Neither did I thought it was gonna.

429
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah something like that. Okay, guys, we're gonna take a

430
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: quick break here. When we come back, the madness is

431
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,440

Speaker 2: the final four seventeen times in the last eighteen years.

471
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: Like this was UCLA's first trip ever to the final four,

472
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 2: even though they were the number one overall, see the

473
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: top team in the nation all year, Like you could

474
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: see where experience matters and Yukon just they just they.

475
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: Were up twenty in the house. Yes, this is the

476
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: twenty in the half Yukon.

477
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: So this is gonna be a fun final tomorrow South

478
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: Carolina against Yukon. It will be a rematch of the

479
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two title game. We're South Carolina one, so

480
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun. Yeah, it's gonna be.

481
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 3: These are these are I mean Yukon was a two

482
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 3: seed and they were the only two seed in the

483
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: women's final four. But they I mean, like I don't

484
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: think there's much of a difference there. No, like as

485
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: far as there's experience there there, they're a dynasty program. Uh,

486
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be a really good game. I'm very

487
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: excited for this game. But I am I mean, I'm

488
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 3: a huge fan of Don Staley. Yeah, I love everything

489
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: about it. I think everyone loves I was gonna say,

490
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: like there's I don't know that there's like another head

491
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 3: coach that is so unanimously beloved it's insane.

492
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: Like she's just the coolest she she's the Olympics, like

493
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: just absolutely living her best life.

494
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: But then she's and she's also like like geeking out

495
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: over like Tom Brady and his jawline. I'm just like,

496
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: I love you. I love you so much.

497
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: Like yes, like we love it so much. Yeah, that's

498
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: gonna be so much fun. And like I said, Men's

499
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: Final four star in about all number.

500
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: One seeds, which is only the second time it's ever

501
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 3: happened in the modern era. Last time it was two

502
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: thousand and eight. This doesn't happen, like four number one

503
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: seeds in the men's tournament doesn't happen. So thanks transfer portal.

504
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: I feel like this is there are so many domino

505
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: effects to with the transfer porter and transfer portal and

506
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 3: the NIL have opened up in college sports. But you

507
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: see it so starkly in basketball, and the fact that

508
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: these guys like it makes it the big time programs.

509
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: It's easier for them to keep their guys because where

510
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 3: else are they going to go, And then it makes

511
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 3: it so that they can get the best transfers as well.

512
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: And then you have guys that are also staying in

513
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: school longer because of the NIL deals, so they're more

514
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: developed and they are more experienced. And so you have

515
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: these guys that are coming into tournament play having been

516
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: there before for a major.

517
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 2: D one program and experience matters.

518
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 3: So I think that we're going to start seeing this

519
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: is going to be a trend that might be here

520
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: to stay as long as the rules exist how they do,

521
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: because it just it makes it levels the playing field

522
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: to a degree where the really top teams stay good

523
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: and then the bottom teams it's hard to catch up.

524
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: So that's why you see four number one seeds powerhouses, yeah,

525
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 3: which which were power up is all season long and

526
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: have been now for quite a few years. I mean

527
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: Duke obviously, Houston, Auburn, and Florida like yeah, big, big

528
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: time SEC programs that their basketball is.

529
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,920

Speaker 6: upcoming NFL calendar will look like, things like the kickoff

612
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 6: that continues to be altered, the instant replay expansion that's

613
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: going to allow teams to get more consistency with the calls,

614
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 6: which is something that coaches are dying for. We'll see

615
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,320

Speaker 6: owners made a slap.

626
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 3: I know, I know it does, and I don't want

627
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: to talk about it, okay because I wasn't there. However,

628
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 3: you were, and tell me about that conversation.

629
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: While that was a nice tea drop.

630
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 3: How likely is it that the Tennessee Titans aren't just

631
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 3: running up the price for the number one pick and

632
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: are actually interested in training it, training it.

633
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 6: Oh, not at all, because the city of Nashville will

634
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 6: burn if they don't. At this point, you're kidding me.

635
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 6: They're two conditions, like they have no choice. You got

636
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 6: Nate Tice out there on the internet talking about you know,

637
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 6: diet coach Steve McNair, which the band do you.

638
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 3: Really call him that? Oh my god, I love Nate.

639
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 6: It's awesome. So it's been it's been very cam word

640
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 6: or nothing around here, really quarterback or nothing around here.

641
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 6: And they they have tried to They have tried. They've

642
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 6: been thorough right. They went through the hoops that you

643
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 6: need to go to. They even faked their way through

644
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 6: the Shador Sanders pro day yesterday where they don't done

645
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 6: the head coach and they had the private workout, and

646
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 6: now the private workouts canceled because all they've seen enough

647
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 6: takes keep it moving, Bud. That's that's just kind of

648
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 6: where things have fallen for them. They've explored their options.

649
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 6: I think there's still people in the building who would

650
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 6: like to see a trade back for for more assets

651
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 6: because they got needs everywhere. But this is not it's

652
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 6: just not happening this year right now, and so we'll

653
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 6: probably say came more than Nationale Tennessee.

654
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you're feeling confident about that.

655
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 6: They came better. Okay for my blood pressure and okay.

656
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: So we started our show with some of the notable

657
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: rules changes in playing a love it or hate it game,

658
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: But one thing that got pushed was the touch push.

659
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: What are your feelings on this? Do you think it

660
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: needs to be banned or is it a get over

661
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: it and stop whining to the rest of the m

662
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: And what do the Titans think?

663
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 6: The Titans were diplomatic about it. Brian Callahan really wasn't

664
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 6: showing his call cards at the coaches breakfast, but did

665
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: talk about the elements of it the major of football play,

666
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 6: and I think that's just what it is, Like I

667
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 6: get the whole Now we're getting into the nuances of

668
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 6: no pushing and no pulling in football and like, okay, fine,

669
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 6: but that sounds like a disaster from an officiating standpoint,

670
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 6: And what the Tursch push is is just a highly

671
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 6: effective play run by a team that's very, very good

672
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 6: at it. And you see teams all over the place

673
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 6: trying to do it, teams in opposition, like who proposed this?

674
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 6: The band the Green Bay Factors that I'm Matt Lafleur

675
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 6: talked about that at the Coach's breakfast, like yeah, I

676
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 6: mean honestly, we tried it and the Eagles are better

677
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 6: at it. And he was explaining all the different things

678
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 6: and the thing that they that drives me crazy is

679
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 6: they keep citing the health and safety data of this

680
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 6: that does not exist. No, so I you know, I mean,

681
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 6: the whole thing feels a bit petty thanks to me,

682
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 6: So I'm for it.

683
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah see, But also like if you can't do it,

684
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: it's not a health issue for you, It's only a

685
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: health issue for the tea and that's actually able to

686
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: execute it, which is Philly.

687
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: And even then, the numbers don't exist.

688
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: No, the numbers don't exist. And when you have the guy,

689
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 3: the single best guy on the planet at executing it,

690
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: and Jason Kelsey coming out and being like y'all are soft. Yeah,

691
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: just like take his word for it. Anyway, I wanted

692
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: to talk to something like something you mentioned off the top,

693
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: because I think it's going to have a tremendous effect

694
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: on the third phase of the game, which is special

695
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: teams moving the touchback line to the thirty five yard line.

696
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: We heard Darren Rizzy, special teams coordinator, talk about how

697
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: he could he estimates that we could see return rates

698
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: of seventy to seventy five percent this year, which drastically

699
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: overles that entire the entire strategy of special teams. Like,

700
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: what did you hear from coaches about how they're now

701
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: going to have to basically confront this and what the

702
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: strategy is going to be now when you're going to

703
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: have to return the ball.

704
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 6: It's just kind of like a like a heavy shy

705
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 6: when you talk to these coaches, like we're going to

706
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 6: change these things, and that's fine, Like you adapt and

707
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 6: to your point, it is now going to be a

708
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 6: part of the strategy, which frankly I'm for Like the

709
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 6: only thing that I heard kind of bemoaned about this

710
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 6: earlier in the week in Palm Beach is just the

711
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 6: idea of starting at the thirty five and that teams

712
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 6: are just going to start settling for field goals. It's

713
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 6: not going to increase scoring the way that they want

714
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 6: to if it's just less distance traveled and that really

715
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 6: being the only thing that's being heavily debated, and I

716
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 6: think a lot of people talk a great deal more

717
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 6: than they expected to about it that week in debating

718
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 6: back and forth. It's what they are doing is working,

719
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 6: even if there are some hurdles or some early bumps

720
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 6: to it with adapting the kickoff and getting it back

721
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 6: to being like an actual football player that you have

722
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 6: to sit there and watch, which is exactly what they want.

723
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 6: I think that as they work through the experimental phases

724
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: of this, it wasn't it wasn't so hard for teams

725
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 6: to adapt. They shouldn't continue to tinker with us.

726
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: Okay, and then another rule, change your thoughts on the overtime.

727
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: Now both teams will get a chance to kind of

728
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: go for it, opposed to whoever won the coin flip

729
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: kind of you run offense the other team, you better

730
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: stop them or you're done. Thoughts on that.

731
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 6: Thank god. I mean, that's keep it short and sweet,

732
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 6: like that's just that's just the way it should be.

733
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. That's what I said too. It's fair,

734
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: everyone gets a fair shot.

735
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean, listen, I want to see

736
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 6: more football. Yeah, people complaining about this or anti more football,

737
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 6: and I can't live with those people.

738
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to. I've got a stat for you,

739
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: and I'll offline with you about that, Buck, because I

740
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: just don't think this matters that much. But it's a

741
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: conversation for another time when we already had. But we're

742
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 3: gonna have to. I think we're gonna have to let

743
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: you go. Thank you so much for coming on with

744
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,240

Speaker 2: the Capital's games to be there to watch it happen.

784
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,759

785
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: chance to go back in with an empty net, and

786
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: he says he doesn't want to break the record that way.

787
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: He wants to earn it and he wants to score it,

788
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 2: which is just you love what the greatness.

804
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 3: happened this week when Dan Orlovsky's son Madden and his

805
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,640

Speaker 3: Autism Awareness Day. Madden, Oh my god, I think everybody

807
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,400

808
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: Kai and I mean Dan didn't keep it together. I

809
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,279

Speaker 3: media and and Laura has reposted it, Mina has reposted.

814

00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: the pictures that Matt and drew them. And he's just

816
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 3: an incredible kid, such a sweet kid, and so incredibly

817
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: talented and so showcasing. Like darre Oloski said that those

818
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: were drawings that he has done over the years. He

819
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,280

820
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 3: drawings that are so so good, and they use them

821
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,800

Speaker 3: Let's go back.

829
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: Let's go back. He said, he haveskin sound. You just

830
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: have some sound of Abchkins saying he doesn't. He didn't

831
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 2: want to score on an open net. Okay, wanted to

832
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: be more special. Yeah, yeah, which you know that makes sense,

833
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: which we love, which we said, Okay, let's go to

834
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: the next do you, honey. I'm not sure if you

835
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 2: saw the Livy done in Paul Skean's GQ photoshoot, but

836
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 2: it was. It was hilarious.

837
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: We've established that Davis, my fiance, went to LSU or

838
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: anything Paul does, I am acutely aware of.

839
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, for that matter. Yeah, it was good.

840
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: It was getting some heat. But like you've to remember,

841
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: these are college aged kids who are in love at

842
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 2: the height of their sports. Like Livy was in her

843
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: like gymnastics and leotards and like other leotards and some

844
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: of the shots while Paul was eating mac and cheese.

845
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: There's a funny kitchen one where she was on the

846
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: counter like in the leotard and legwarmers, like with the pan.

847
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: There's uh, Paul was at the piano like she literally

848
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: flies off of things for a living, Like this is

849
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: what she does in a leotard. I thought it was

850
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: hilarious and cute. And they're young. These kids are like

851
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: they're kids, they're a millionaire kids.

852
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: You guess what. Paul Skins isn't gonna hear you on

853
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 3: social media anyway because he doesn't even have insagram done. No,

854
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 3: because Libby don has really kind of pioneered what NIL

855
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: can look like. She's she was, you know, one of

856
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 3: the first major like did some of the first major

857
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: NIL deals. Especially has a female athlete in college the game,

858
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 3: so she's she's well versed in all of this and

859
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 3: fall it is just not but speaking of some marketing strategies, yes,

860
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: do lean in to uh to maybe some I guess

861
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: niche fan base, the niche aspects of your family. The

862
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,479
Speaker 3: Red Sox posted a fourth Wing Night where they gave

863
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: away flight jackets sick from the Iron Flame series. The

864
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: fans it is dragon, It's fantasy romance, and I think

865
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: it's it's swept the nation. If you've got a girlfriend,

866
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: if you've got a wife, I guarantee you.

867
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: There's red Lea has listened to it. We listened to it.

868
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 3: I read all three of them now, three that have

869
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: been out but they gave away flight jackets that had

870
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: rear sin on the back of them, so Zaiden white jacket. Yes,

871
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 3: and if that means something to you, the Red Sox

872
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 3: decided enough to some of their fans and.

873
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: I love it, my god, I love that so much. Okay,

874
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,959

00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: He's such a stable presence in like women's college basketball,

00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 2: quarterback updates Rogers Aaron Rodgers. Off the top of the

935
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: first hour, I was like, we are on Aaron Rodgers

936
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 2: watched and Karma, you said, no, I'm not no, call.

937
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 3: Me, call me when he call me when he signs,

938
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 3: and the Steelers call me when he retires. Like I'm

939
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 3: so disinterested in this whole thing until that happens. I'm

940
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm call me Cam Hayward. Cam Hayward is like, I'm

941
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 3: not going on a dark darkness retreat to get him

942
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: to come here. He comes here, that's great, He'll be

943
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 3: in my quarterback. If not, it's no skin off my nose.

944
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, I mean, Steelers have backed themselves

945
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 3: into a corner.

946
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: Yes they have, and so Hart Rodgers for that matter.

947
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: It's I mean, so he threw with Steelers new wide

948
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 2: receiver DK Metcalf at UCLA last weekend. And at this

949
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: point it seems like there is absolutely no rush for

950
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and it's it's now feeling like this is

951
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: going to be his only option. It's it's Steelers or retire,

952
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 2: Like I that's.

953
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying where I'm like, the this storyline

954
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 3: is just tired at this point because he's gonna take

955
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: his time. He's gonna do what he always does, which

956
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 3: is stay in the news. Cycle by popping up and yeah,

957
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 3: throwing with DK Metcalf or popping up and saying this,

958
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 3: or then someone at the organization's gonna say this, and

959
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 3: it's going to just take its sweet time, and he's

960
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: going to stay relevant until he makes the decision. But

961
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: he's going to drag it out. He did this with

962
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 3: the Jets. Yeah, I just I'm not at all like,

963
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: I'm not giving attention or energy into it anymore because

964
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm like and also the end of the at the

965
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 3: end of the day, Yeah, what does this change for

966
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: the Steelers.

967
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they need a quarterback.

968
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 3: They need a quarterback, yes, but this is a team

969
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 3: that is they're run on defense. Mike Tomlin has not

970
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 3: had a losing season in Pittsburgh. We all know that. Uh,

971
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 3: this is a team that is built to insulate against

972
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 3: anything against the quarterback position because they haven't got the

973
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 3: quarterback position right since Ben Roethlisberger.

974
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 2: How many yeah, how many years.

975
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: That's been a very long time.

976
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: They've been a lot of quarterbacks in a handful of years.

977
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 3: Okay, put Aaron Rodgers in there. Aaron Rodgers in his

978
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 3: current state where we don't know how good he's really

979
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: going to be and what Rogers you're getting? How good

980
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 3: he's really going to be? He is going to be

981
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: an extra year removed from the Achilles surgery. So that's great,

982
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 3: But is it enough to really you have the Steelers

983
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: give you a playoff run? Like are they going to

984
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: make the playoffs? Yeah? Have they made the playoffs? They

985
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: made the playoffs last year.

986
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: But it's one of those like yeah, Like it's not

987
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: like yes, it's like yeah, but are they kind of

988
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: card round?

989
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: But are yeah? Exactly are they going to do the ward?

990
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: That's about it?

991
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 3: Does this change anything for the Steelers that you've seen

992
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years? No, No, it doesn't.

993
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 3: So like this whole storyline is just so tired to

994
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 3: me because I'm like, hey, he's making us wait for it.

995
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 3: I just don't care anymore. And then even if it

996
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 3: does happen, when it happens, what does it change? I

997
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 3: don't know, Mike, tom doesn't change the balance of power

998
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 3: in the the AFC North.

999
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I just it's crazy, like Tomlin's reaction to

1000
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 2: like not putting a timeline on Roger's decision saying I'm

1001
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 2: really comfortable being unsettled at this time of year to peak,

1002
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 2: quite honest with.

1003
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: You, because it's all he's been.

1004
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 2: It's all like he, like Mike Tomlans, thrives in chaos

1005
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: and he knows how to Like he's like a professional handler,

1006
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: like a lot of like some athletes, a lot of

1007
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 2: rock stars, a lot of people have handlers. And these

1008
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: are people that are literally hired to make sure these

1009
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 2: stars are supposed to be where they are.

1010
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 3: The way that Mike Tomlin has been able to keep

1011
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 3: a lid he's a professional handler, the way that Mike

1012
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: coach and handler. The way that Mike Tomlin has been

1013
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 3: able to keep a lid on so many absolutely insane,

1014
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 3: absolutely insane personalities and like keep guys like on this

1015
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 3: the quote unquote straight and arrow because you never know

1016
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 3: how true that actually is. Yeah, that is deserving of

1017
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame plot publish on its own. That's

1018
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 3: deserving of getting him into the Hall of Fame on

1019
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 3: its own. Forget you know, the winning percentage and all

1020
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 3: of that kind of stuff. The fact that he was

1021
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 3: able to keep a lid on guys like Antonio Brown,

1022
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: Leveon Bell what all, Like every time these guys leave,

1023
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 3: these these guys leave the Steelers and then it blow

1024
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: everything blows up. As someone who was working for the

1025
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 3: Tampa Buccaneers when ab and I was at that game

1026
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: in at MetLife the piece, uh while he walked off

1027
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 3: during the middle of the game. Yeah, like ran out

1028
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 3: the end zone. Just like the fact that Mike Tomlin

1029
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 3: was able to keep a lid on that for so

1030
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: long insane. And you've seen what Leveon bellsone on social media, Like, Yeah,

1031
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 3: if anybody can handle the personalities of DK Metcalf, George Pickens,

1032
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: and Aaron Rodgers together, it'll be the crowning achievement of

1033
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: my Tom's life.

1034
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 2: I actually like that's the drama I'm excited to see

1035
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: and to hear from. But we're also less than three

1036
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: weeks away from the draft. Steeler's first round pick is

1037
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: at twenty one overall, and they could be eyeing a quarterback.

1038
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 2: Maybe they tried to trade up.

1039
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 3: They would have to. Yeah, and there's this isn't the

1040
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 3: quarterback class to do it though it's not. It's not.

1041
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: There's a thing soon like it is the most important

1042
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: position on an NFL team and you don't have a quarterback.

1043
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but is it's the most important. There's there's the

1044
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: case we made that it's not the most important position

1045
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: on Pittsburgh Steelers.

1046
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. You just need to stand in, but

1047
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 2: stand in and hand it off.

1048
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 3: There are and and you know there are, there are

1049
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 3: guys to kind of come in and steer the ship,

1050
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 3: I suppose, or like keep the ship afloat. And you're

1051
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 3: talking about some of these guys that aren't gonna do

1052
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 3: much for you. They're not going to win you games. Yeah,

1053
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 3: but a guy that people thought that was going to

1054
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 3: be that kind of guy. But Pete Carroll just put

1055
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 3: a nature in.

1056
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: Vegas found their guy in the future, at least for.

1057
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 3: A little while to your future. The two year extension

1058
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 3: now worth a maximum of eighty five and a half

1059
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 3: million for Gino Smith with six and a half million guaranteed.

1060
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 2: That's great.

1061
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 3: So he's now under contract with Vegas to the twenty

1062
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: twenty seventh season.

1063
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: I love that Pete Carroll loves his guy, shows he

1064
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: believes in him. He called him an immediate fix at

1065
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 2: the position during the NFL annual meetings this week. However,

1066
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: he didn't rule out the possibility of drafting a quarterback.

1067
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: No, and I think that you have to leave that open.

1068
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 3: But you're not going to spend like crazy draft capital

1069
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 3: on that. This is this gives you the flexibility to.

1070
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: Drawn picks and the sixth overall pick.

1071
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 3: But they also you're not going to take the six

1072
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 3: over You're not going to take a quarterback for the

1073
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 3: six zer old hit because you have so many other

1074
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 3: needs on that roster, like John Spytech. Their new GM

1075
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 3: has a lot of work to do, Yeah, with that roster,

1076
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 3: both on both sides of the ball for that matter,

1077
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: because who was Gino Smith even throwing to at this point?

1078
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 3: I think Jacobe Myers is there one Tier one at

1079
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 3: this point.

1080
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now they have good pieces like Max Crosby, the

1081
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: leader on defense, and we just saw on Philly how

1082
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: defense can win championships when you have that kind of

1083
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: a leader.

1084
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: But you had guys leave like big Play Roberts Plane. Yeah,

1085
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: like there are there are a lot of holes on

1086
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 3: that roster that need.

1087
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: To be fixed the line to protect them your favorite.

1088
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 6: No.

1089
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 3: So they let up fifty sacks last year, which is

1090
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 3: not much many many less than what Gino Smith was

1091
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 3: was was forced into in Seattle last year. Because Gino,

1092
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: I believe, was sacked fifty four times to Seattle tied

1093
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 3: for the third most sacks allowed fifty four in the

1094
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 3: league and finished with PFF's thirty first ranked offensive line.

1095
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 3: So Gino is going from a really bad situation into

1096
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 3: a slightly better, not much better situation.

1097
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: You wrote an article about this, how this is a

1098
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: strong D line draft class this year. But what like

1099
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 2: Vegas has, Like we said, they have nine draft picks,

1100
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: what do you see them needing to do in a

1101
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 2: couple of weeks.

1102
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 3: I mean, when you're talking about overhauling, when you're talking

1103
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 3: about overhauling a roster, and I get that there are

1104
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 3: skill position needs to when you're talking about but like,

1105
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 3: while you don't have a wide receiver one from a

1106
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 3: wide out category, you have Brock Bowers, who is your

1107
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 3: leading receiver. He's a tight end. We saw with the

1108
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 3: Trey McBride deal, how well that can work out for

1109
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 3: the player and how well that works out for a team. Honestly,

1110
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 3: because Kyler Murray was super pumped that Trey McBride as

1111
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 3: signed the richest extension for a tight end, it now

1112
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 3: puts them above the pay grade of George Kittle and

1113
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce. So like the tight end position is getting

1114
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 3: I feel like the valuation of the tight end position

1115
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 3: is getting better given how much of a factor these

1116
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 3: guys are in the receiving game. And that brock Bauers

1117
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 3: is no exception that he They hit it out of

1118
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 3: the park with the brock Bauers pick last year in

1119
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 3: the first round. And so you have that that kind

1120
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 3: of I guess lessons maybe some of your immediate needs

1121
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 3: in the wide receiver room, but you still know you do,

1122
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 3: you still need more. But when you're talking about overhauling

1123
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: a roster, and this is what I get to I

1124
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 3: go back to every single time, is you need to

1125
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 3: make sure that both sides of the off of the

1126
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 3: lines the line of scrimmage are set. Okay, So the

1127
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: offensive line I talked a lot in that article about

1128
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 3: and actually I just did a mock draft for Fox

1129
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 3: sports dot Com of all trenches. So every team has

1130
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 3: to take an offensive or a defensive lineman yes, or

1131
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 3: an edge rusher like, just all along the line, guys

1132
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 3: that line up on the line of scrimmage. Yeah, And

1133
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 3: what I found too was that you start to get

1134
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: real thin at the offensive line position if you do

1135
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 3: not take them at the top. Really, so it's a

1136
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 3: it's just it's not a great offensive line class. It's

1137
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: not a deep offensive.

1138
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: Line second round.

1139
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, if you if you need offensive line help,

1140
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 3: you better get your guy, and you're probably gonna overpay

1141
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 3: for him because these guys are raw in this class.

1142
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 3: The prospects I've watched, the guys that I've talked to

1143
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 3: as far as evaluators, scouts, coaches, former coaches, this offensive

1144
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 3: line class is very raw. There's no like Joe Alt

1145
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 3: that's like ready to go. Plug him in. He's gonna

1146
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: be a Pro Bowl left tackle for you. This is like,

1147
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 3: these guys are going to need really good coaching and

1148
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna need some time to develop. And even then,

1149
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 3: it's not a deep class when it comes to the

1150
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 3: offensive line, So you're taking a risk either way, but

1151
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna probably have to do it with some really

1152
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 3: serious capital. The defensive line class, however, on the on

1153
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 3: the opposite side of this, they are it is so deep.

1154
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: I've talked to so many defensive coaches that are so

1155
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 3: excited about especially the detackles, but some of these edge rushers,

1156
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 3: it just goes really deep and they're like, I've had

1157
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 3: guys tell me that you're gonna be able to get

1158
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: starters in the third and fourth rounds. Really, yes, so

1159
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 3: this is something that you can maybe wait on it.

1160
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 3: I think that Vegas still needs to add, especially to

1161
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 3: that interior. I don't necessarily to help Max Crosby all

1162
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, but if you're a team that

1163
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 3: needs offensive line, you need to get to that in the.

1164
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 2: First couple of Yeah, that's a lot. And you guys

1165
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 2: wear less than three weeks away from the NFL Draft.

1166
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 2: Top two quarterback updates. We were just talking to Buck Rising,

1167
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 2: who obviously covers the Titans say the first overall pick,

1168
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: and he is convinced they're taking camera war.

1169
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 3: I think this is a bear situation from last year

1170
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 3: when everybody was like, oh, are they going to trade

1171
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 3: back again? Because whatever? And it's like and that was

1172
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 3: a little bit different of a scenario because Chicago had

1173
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 3: traded the first overall pick the year before. Yeah, so

1174
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 3: then you end up with it, which is not your

1175
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 3: own pick, by the way, but you still end up

1176
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 3: with the first overall pick. You still need a quarterback

1177
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 3: at this point, and so they made that call. But

1178
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 3: like there were so many like rumors of like, oh,

1179
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 3: maybe they're just driving the price up and then they're

1180
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 3: going to trade back and like they're going to get

1181
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 3: a haul, and are you team Hall or you team Caleb.

1182
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 3: I very much see the same thing in Nashville in

1183
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 3: Tennessee in general, where they're like, oh, I don't know,

1184
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 3: are they just are they just trying to drive the

1185
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 3: price up so they can trade down. And again, Tennessee

1186
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 3: is another team that has a lot of needs and

1187
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 3: trading down wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

1188
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 3: But as Buck said, and I think as so many

1189
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 3: fan bases would say, like if you have the first

1190
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 3: overall pick, especially your guy, and you have no other choice,

1191
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 3: like cam Ward, like is the top prospect quarterback prospect

1192
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 3: in this class, and then there is a tier two

1193
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 3: which is sur Sanders, and then you go down to

1194
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 3: tier three. Yeah, so like there is a huge amount

1195
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 3: of separation and there's just not quarterback talent available in

1196
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 3: this class and there should be next year. So that's

1197
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 3: the thing too, where you're like, all right, that's kind

1198
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 3: of I think the argument for Tennessee trading back, where

1199
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 3: if they're not completely in love with can Worm, which

1200
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: Buck said that he thinks they are.

1201
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything they canceled their private meeting with where they

1202
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: sent people to his pro day yesterday, which not but

1203
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 2: not his like the main people they were. They were

1204
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: just like saving face. Also like didn't realize that they

1205
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 2: were broadcasting that and there was like play by play

1206
00:54:58,440 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 2: of Shores.

1207
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah I turn yeah they broadcast cam Warts too. Yeah No,

1208
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 3: But I think that the argument in Tennessee is, hey,

1209
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 3: next year is a better quarterback class. We have a

1210
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 3: ton of needs right now. We're not ready for a quarterback. Really,

1211
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 3: if you look at this roster, do we wait on

1212
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 3: it for next year? And it's really hard to get

1213
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,760
Speaker 3: the fan base though, to buy into that kind of patience,

1214
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 3: especially when I loved what Buck rising. Nate Tye is

1215
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 3: a guy, a friend of ours that works at Yahoo Sports.

1216
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 3: He is the son of famed offensive line and offensive

1217
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 3: coach Mike Tye. Uh So, he's comes from a football family,

1218
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 3: played quarterback, all this other stuff. He does some of

1219
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 3: some of the best tape study that you'll see, and

1220
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 3: he has a podcast, A Football three oh one on Yahoo.

1221
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 3: Buck said that Nate said that cam Ward is diet

1222
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 3: Coke Steve McNair, which is it's awesome. It's awesome because

1223
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 3: I actually like die Out better than the original. But

1224
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 3: I think it's really hard, like I said, to have

1225
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 3: a fan base buy into the patience, even though that's

1226
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 3: probably the better way to do it in so many ways.

1227
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 2: Like yeah, but I just don't think they can't. You

1228
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 2: can't when there is a hot name.

1229
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 3: And I do think the quarter franchise, Yeah I do.

1230
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 2: And there is such a huge separation between him and

1231
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: Shaudor Sanders who the more we're hearing from coaches, scouts,

1232
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 2: he just his draft stock just kind of keeps dropping

1233
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: a bit.

1234
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 3: It's going to be really I don't know that it

1235
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: really does, because you look at the entire now where

1236
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans may not have sent their big guys,

1237
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 3: the Giants sent everybody yes to Sanders pro day, Okay,

1238
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 3: everybody was there, So you know that they have a

1239
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 3: vested interest in this guy. And and that would mean

1240
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 3: that he goes in the top five picks. Yeah, So

1241
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 3: I don't know like that that. Yeah, the quarterbacks rise

1242
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 3: and if you fall a all it takes is, you know,

1243
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 3: one GM to fall in love with you, when one

1244
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 3: head coach fall in love with you. We saw what

1245
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 3: happened last year with Atlanta taking uh taking Why am

1246
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 3: I blanking Michael Beennix junior. Yeah with yeah, with a

1247
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 3: top ten pick while they had already paid Kirk cuth.

1248
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 3: Like that's that stuff happened. And guys rise really far

1249
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 3: in the draft and got and you look at even

1250
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 3: bon Nix taken by the Denver Broncos that number twelve. Yeah,

1251
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 3: everybody thought he was a second round pick.

1252
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: There's also the Browns, like he's apparently having a private

1253
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 2: workout schedule with the Browns.

1254
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 3: With the Browns, I mean the Brown's eight quarterback too,

1255
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 3: like they have they like halfway went as far as

1256
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 3: to say Jimmy has them went halfway in and said

1257
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 3: that Deshaun Watson may have been a mistake.

1258
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: And I was like, um, mis.

1259
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 3: And and so it was all the guaranteed money, and

1260
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: so it's like maybe maybe we can like we can

1261
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 3: go along and say, hey, you didn't need to give

1262
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 3: him the guarantees. He didn't need to not a.

1263
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 2: Good person, Like what more than that he's not a

1264
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: good quarterback. Yeah, but also like if you're a leader

1265
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 2: of a franchise, a multimillion dollar franchise, you also have

1266
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 2: to be like a good person.

1267
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: There's a lot of these guys that aren't. But it's

1268
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 3: not so overt that you have twenty four counts of

1269
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 3: sexual assault love against you. Gross.

1270
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to your quick break here when we

1271
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: come back. I actually I think I'm gonna mix it up.

1272
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 2: There's a couple other rule changes we didn't get to that.

1273
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: I want to hear your opinion because I kind of

1274
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 2: got a taste of it when we were talking to Buck,

1275
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 2: so we got that when we come back. You're listening

1276

1288
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 2: All right, at the top of our show, In the

1289
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 2: first hour, we played a game called love It or

1290
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: Hate It. We talked about torpedo bats, the tush push,

1291
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: and some other rules. New rule changes that happen at

1292
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: the NFL owner meetings. We didn't get to a couple

1293
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 2: of them. So I heard Karmi kind of go off

1294
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 2: on this in the Buck Rising interview, so I wanted

1295
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 2: to bring it back. So we're going to do the

1296
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 2: touch back change here. Love it or Hate it now,

1297
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 2: just to kind of explain if you're not familiar with

1298
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 2: what it is. It feels like they're trying to get

1299
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: more play action out of the kickoff, right, so only

1300
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 2: having to go sixty five yards for a touchdown are

1301
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: better odds than before. So they're moving.

1302
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 3: No, what they're trying to do is they're trying to

1303
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 3: increase the number of returns. They want returns because returns

1304
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 3: are electrifying, and there are reasons that you watch special teams.

1305
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 3: There are a reason that you tune into that third

1306
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: phase of the game that everybody forgets about. And so

1307
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 3: they're moving it. So it used to be that you know,

1308
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 3: kickers on a kickoff, Yeah, could you kick the ball

1309
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 3: out of the back of the end zone and that

1310
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 3: just that's a touchback. So that means that, hey, the

1311
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 3: next team is going to start at the twenty five

1312
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 3: yard line. Yeah, they moved it. Used to be the

1313
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 3: twenty they moved with the twenty five. Now they've moved

1314
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 3: it to the thirty five. Yep, which shortens the field

1315
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 3: a tremendous amount, but like.

1316
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 2: Five yards for a touchdown, right.

1317
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 3: So you have to go now sixty five yards. So

1318
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 3: now that's in theory d incentivizes the team to then

1319
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 3: kick it out of the back of the end zone.

1320
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 3: Kick it in the end zone, you know, like you

1321
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 3: want to be able to have these guys return it. Yes,

1322
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 3: so it's promoting returns because you don't want to necessarily

1323
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 3: give up that field position. But what Buck had talked about,

1324
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 3: and that this is kind of the other side of

1325
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 3: the coin, is all right, well, now let's see, if

1326
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 3: you're at the thirty five yard line, you probably need

1327
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 3: twenty five thirty thirty five yards thirty if you have

1328
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 3: a good kicker to get into a field goal range.

1329
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 3: And I feel like that side of it, I feel

1330
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 3: like that is what is going to be The more

1331
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 3: realistic result of this is that teams are just going

1332
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 3: to end up kicking more field goals, so it's not

1333
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 3: necessarily going to even increase scoring, and you're not necessarily

1334
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 3: gonna see more touchdowns. You might just see more field goals.

1335
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 3: Now that can sway games we have. I don't have

1336
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 3: the stats in front of me, but you know, every

1337
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 3: every year, I feel like the number of one score

1338
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 3: games and the percentage of one score games gets higher.

1339
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 3: Like the parody in the NFL is why it's so great. Yes,

1340
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 3: but I do think that there's going to have to

1341
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 3: be a lot of strategic changes to how teams operate

1342
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 3: come kickoffs. And in fact, when they were all talking

1343
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 3: about this rule change and everything like that, Darren Racy,

1344
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 3: Darren Rizzy, he's not the special teams coordinator in Denver,

1345
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 3: longtime special teams guy, he estimated that the return rates

1346
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 3: we're gonna see return rates in the seventy to seventy

1347
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 3: five percent range, which is a huge It's so much

1348
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 3: more than what we're seeing right now.

1349
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 2: It was also the feeling was like, okay, kickoff, go

1350
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 2: grab a beer and go to the bathroom. That was

1351
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 2: the time he could kind of walk away.

1352
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: F Obviously, the NFL introduced the landing zones last year

1353
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 3: and things changed with kickoffs and all that kind of

1354
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 3: stuff already, but now this is just another incentive put

1355
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 3: in place to make sure that teams are kicking to

1356
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 3: the kick returners. And now you have to figure out

1357
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 3: all right, like the Bears did this last year where

1358
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 3: they pulled out a play on special teams that they

1359
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 3: had most infamously run with Devin Hester, who just went

1360
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 3: into the Hall of Fame last year, best kick returner

1361
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 3: of all time. I have in one of his jerseys.

1362
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 3: I have his alternate orange jersey. He was such an

1363
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 3: electrifying player because of his returns. Yeah, and you know,

1364
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 3: I think he had nineteen or twenty returns for a touchdown,

1365
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 3: just an insane number. But so the Bears ran this

1366
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 3: play where it was essentially a fake where you have

1367
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 3: two returners in the backfield and you have one act

1368
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 3: like he has the ball and then run as if

1369
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 3: he had the ball. Yeah, And it worked for the

1370
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 3: Bears again and the other team bit and so now

1371
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 3: you're I feel like you're gonna start seeing kind of

1372
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 3: some more creativity when it comes to special teams. If

1373
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 3: you're talking about a return right of seventy to seventy

1374
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 3: five percent, like Darren Rizzy said that it could be.

1375
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm very interested to see how this kind of changes

1376
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 3: the strategy behind the third phase of the game, which

1377
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 3: again is so it's it's so forgotten about. And when

1378
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 3: you talk about changing the strategy too, there's a domino

1379
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 3: effect to that because then you think about special teams

1380
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 3: guys as being the bottom, like twenty guys on the roster.

1381
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 3: Now are you going to see are you going to

1382
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 3: see guys kind of or teams drafting because of a

1383
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 3: special player, Special teams ability like stuff like that is

1384
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 3: going to start happening more and more. The domino effect

1385
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 3: of this, I think it's just really interesting, and that's

1386
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 3: why I think that this was a really big deal.

1387
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 3: That love it or hate it, I don't know if

1388
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 3: I love it or hate it. I think I love it.

1389
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 2: I love more action, I love I love more.

1390
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 3: I think I love it in theory. Okay, we'll see

1391
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 3: what it looks like in practice. Like I said, I

1392
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 3: don't just want people suddenly for a field goals and

1393
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 3: like whatever, Like I want there to be actual shifts

1394
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 3: and how we treat the kickoff.

1395
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so tentatively I love it, Okay, but real quick

1396
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 2: just love it or hate it. Hawkeye cameras to measure

1397
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: love it.

1398
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:13,919
Speaker 3: It's not even getting the chain gang like the changing

1399
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 3: will still be there for valid for confirmation.

1400
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 2: It's a no brainer. It's noame along.

1401
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 3: We've had the technology might do it.

1402
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. I feel the same way. Now let's

1403
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 2: check it with Martin Wise and see what's trending.

1404
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 8: That's twenty career return touchdouts for Devin Hosts.

1405
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 3: I was a nineteen or twenty.

1406
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 2: I was out there kid fourteen punt Yeah, I.

1407
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 3: Mean like that doesn't change this could change the kick

1408
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,919
Speaker 3: off rules. It doesn't change the pun return rules.

1409
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 9: But yeah, and I just take returners and punker returners

1410
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 9: are kind of like kickers to me in that like

1411
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 9: make or break Well, it's just they seem to be some.

1412
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 8: Of the most undervalued people that can change a game

1413
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 8: on a roster.

1414
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 3: Unless it's a Super Bowl to return the opening kick

1415
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 3: against the Indianapolis Colts, and I thought the Bears were

1416
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 3: gonna win that Super Bowl. Imagine if he hadn't, there

1417
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 3: would have been nothing about that game that was memorable

1418
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 3: at all.

1419
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,760

01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 5: Why the heck can? I let's make a fun weekend editors.

1462
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 5: I'll be at South Carolina yukon a heck of a

1463
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 5: matchup tomorrow.

1464
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 2: What has the crowd been like? I mean dominating wins yesterday.

1465
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 5: Oh it's been amazing. You know, they got sold out

1466
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 5: crowd yesterday again a tont of Yukon fans, Yeah, clearly,

1467
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 5: but then also as of top Carolina fans. So you know,

1468
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 5: obviously bump for U c L a incredible season. But

1469
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 5: you're the great thing in talking to the players last night,

1470
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 5: I mean they're all coming back, you know, Moor and Best,

1471
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 5: Peaky Rice, you know they are. They are going to

1472
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 5: be a jugger that next season.

1473
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. Okay, let's start in the

1474
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: NBA and the West because it is going to be

1475
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 2: a tight stretch like these last this last week of

1476
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 2: the regular season, and after a win last night, Lakers

1477
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 2: moving back up to that third spot in the West.

1478
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 2: Now with five games to go, how important is it

1479
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 2: for LA to try and hold that spot and not

1480
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 2: drop it into the play in tournament and they have

1481
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 2: a tough final six games here coming up.

1482
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, all these teams are really tied up,

1483
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 5: and as you just mentioned, you know, you win on

1484
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 5: one night, you're the third seed. You lose and you're

1485
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 5: the fourth seed, but you're almost you know, like in

1486
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 5: that playing tournament. I mean, I think two things for

1487
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 5: the Lakers are really key. You know, to get that

1488
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 5: top four seeds, you got homecoord like in the first round.

1489
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 5: You don't want to have to go on the road.

1490
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 5: The other thing that you have to start thinking about

1491
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,759
Speaker 5: are the matchups. As much as you want this series

1492
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 5: as a basketball fan, as a Lakers fan, you don't

1493
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 5: want a Lakers Warriors.

1494
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 2: I know it's it's lucky that way.

1495
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 5: It's gonna be brutal, it'll be great, it'll be great

1496
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 5: for us as fans, and it'll probably be a seven

1497
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 5: game series, but definitely, to be honest, like, that's why

1498
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 5: you want that higher seeding, right, Yeah, if it does

1499
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 5: those seven, that game seven would be at Crypto dot

1500
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 5: Com Arena.

1501
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 3: Are are the Thunder still? I mean, you know they've

1502
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 3: away with the regular season record sixty four and thirteen. Yeah,

1503
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 3: is is this the toughest challenge in the West? And

1504
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 3: how does that stack up then to the East, Because

1505
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 3: I feel like we've we've gotten used to the West

1506
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 3: being like the powerhouse Conference and there's so many of

1507
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 3: these teams they end up beating up on each other.

1508
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 3: But how how, how how much do you think that

1509
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 3: the Thunder are really going to get through all of that.

1510
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 5: Then yeah, I mean here's the thing. I mean, the

1511
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 5: Thunder has have been one of the more dominant teams

1512
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 5: in recent history. I mean since the Warriors in terms

1513
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 5: of you know, I mean themes might you know when

1514
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 5: the sixty eight to sixty nine games, and I mean

1515
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 5: that really puts them in the conversation for you know,

1516
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 5: one of the top ten teams of all time. Now

1517
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 5: what we have never seen this team do? They're young,

1518
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 5: but you know, can you do this in the postseason?

1519
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 5: Like a year ago people were talking about the Thunder

1520
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 5: they couldn't even get to the conference finals. And I

1521
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 5: know people will laugh about the NBA Cup at the

1522
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 5: end of the day that there's a ton of money,

1523
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 5: there's the trophy involved. They didn't look to it against

1524
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 5: the Bucks. Now, I just have a feeling about this

1525
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 5: team this season. So whatever, like even at the height

1526
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 5: of the Lucill run with the Lakers, like can this

1527
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 5: team win a title? And I'm like, I think they

1528
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 5: can get to the conference finals. I don't know if

1529
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 5: any team out of the West from what I've seen

1530
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 5: this season is beating the Thunder, but we'll see again,

1531
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 5: we have not seen this team play like this in

1532
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 5: the postseason. So can they beat the Warriors? Can they

1533
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,640
Speaker 5: beat the Lakers? Can they beat teams and players that

1534
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 5: have been there before?

1535
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: And yeah in a seven game series? I mean, Lakers

1536
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,640
Speaker 2: still are going to face them twice to season, so

1537
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 2: that's gonna be an interesting one to watch. But let's

1538
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 2: move to baseball. Dodgers got off to a historic start

1539
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 2: of the season and lost their first game yesterday. But

1540
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 2: just kind of watching the start, they were favorites heading

1541
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 2: into the season, but they're looking like far and away

1542
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 2: the team to who, like, who is going to be

1543
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 2: their biggest challenge this year?

1544
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 5: Well, you know it's the Padres And I'm really glad

1545
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 5: because I thought that, you know, they have a drop off,

1546
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 5: But the way both of the teams have started the season,

1547
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 5: and I know, you know, the Padres lost their first

1548
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 5: game the season, going to Chicago. Yeah, but what an

1549
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 5: amazing start for both of these teams. Like Gayton knows

1550
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 5: seven and zero a great postseason series a year ago. Really,

1551
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 5: both of those teams have played well. But the way

1552
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 5: that the Dodgers have won these games, right, I mean, yes,

1553
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 5: they they're the most talented teams, the deepest team, but

1554
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 5: to win a couple of these games and walked off

1555
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 5: fashion won by Mookie one by show Hey. I mean,

1556
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 5: this team still has that that feeling that like it's

1557
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 5: going to be tough to beat them. So it's been amazing. Again,

1558
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 5: I was in Tokyo for those first two games of

1559
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 5: the season. I've been at all the Hope games. This

1560
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,879
Speaker 5: is a special special team.

1561
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, and with a special special player you talk about

1562
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:07,759
Speaker 3: show heir Tani, you know, unanimously winning n L MVP

1563
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 3: last year as a designated hitter. You know, so many

1564
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 3: first so many insane things. What incentive really is there

1565
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 3: for you to kind of switch him back into the

1566
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 3: pitching lineup later on in the season. Granted, but is

1567
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 3: that should that still be the goal for the Dodgers

1568
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 3: when you know what you can get out of him

1569
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 3: if he's just focused on hitting.

1570
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 5: It's a great question because they are such a deep

1571
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 5: pitching staff where you don't really need Showgate which show

1572
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 5: Hey though, he does love to pitch, and he does

1573
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 5: want to pitch, but if you're the Dodgers, you do

1574
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 5: have to figure out a way to do it where

1575
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 5: he doesn't take something away from what he does for them,

1576
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 5: like as a hitter, because what he does I mean again,

1577
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 5: first ever fifty fifty season. Yeah, like almost had a

1578
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 5: sixty sixty seasons. So he wants to pitch. The Dodgers

1579
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 5: wants to have him pitch. I wouldn't expect that to

1580
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 5: happen in April or may. I do expect it happened

1581
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 5: at some point this summer. But you gotta be careful

1582
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 5: about it. You got to be cautious because again, the

1583
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 5: way that this team has been built, the deepest pitching staff,

1584
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 5: the deepest bullpens, they really don't need showing the fact

1585
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 5: that they have them available, is that you will pitch

1586
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 5: at some point this season is incredible, right, I mean

1587
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 5: the way that this seems playing Kershaw hasn't pitched yet

1588
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 5: and showy ton crazy.

1589
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 2: Okay. Torpedo bats have been the talk of baseball this week.

1590
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on them? Is a good idea

1591
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: bad idea for baseball? Love it or hate it?

1592
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 5: You know, I don't hate it. I mean it's the

1593
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 5: beautiful thing about baseball. It's these these little quirky things,

1594
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 5: you know, whether it's like like the ballpark, you know,

1595
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 5: or like the bats to use. And yeah, the usual

1596
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 5: take I was talking to the hack Munths. You bat it,

1597
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 5: and so he's like, oh, torpedo bats, Like, well, let's

1598
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 5: see what's up with this. He goes, oh for three

1599
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 5: with the torpedo bats. The use is old bat and

1600
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,759
Speaker 5: he hits uh, you know, like a two run double

1601
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 5: that tied up the game against the Brave. So listen

1602
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 5: to like each their own. Apparently the Yankees were using

1603
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 5: the torpedo bats a year ago or at least of

1604
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 5: the postseason, you know, help them get to the World Series.

1605
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 5: Couldn't do anything against the Dodge. I think I think

1606
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 5: everyone's talking about it because of the pot and the

1607
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 5: success that they've had about it. Yeah, with them, but listen,

1608
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 5: I think if it helps you greater for that, I

1609
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 5: think I think most players are going to at least

1610
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 5: try it to see if they'll help them. But according

1611
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 5: to Max Monthly, it did not help him.

1612
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 2: Well yeah, also, like, I think it's going to take

1613
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 2: some adjusting, but I love it. If we're going to

1614
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 2: see more dingers out of it, like let's go ahrash,

1635
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: And I'm going to start with the game that's happening

1636
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 2: right now. The US women's national team playing Brazil at

1637
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 2: SOFI USA is up one nothing. We are in the

1638
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 2: fortieth minute, and this marks the first ever women's professional

1639
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 2: sporting event at sofi. It's also the first meeting between

1640
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 2: USA and Brazil since that epic clash and the twenty

1641
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 2: twenty four Olympic gold medal game in Paris, which we

1642
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 2: saw USA win. But yeah, they're playing on the natural

1643
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 2: grass test system that they've installed to get ready for

1644
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cups. So this is

1645
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 2: also like a little a little test by so far,

1646
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 2: but this is yeah, this is incredible. I had a

1647
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 2: chance to catch up with their head coach, Emma Hayes

1648
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 2: earlier this week. She was at the Angel City game

1649
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 2: at BIMO, and she is just the absolute coolest, the

1650
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 2: best outlook. She's like, yeah, no, we have a lot

1651
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 2: to work do We've already won a gold medal, but

1652
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 2: we have so much work to do with this young courts,

1653
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 2: that next generation after the Megan Rapino Ala, after the

1654
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 2: Alex Morgan and all those stars that went back to

1655
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 2: back World Cups in twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen. So

1656
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 2: this is exciting. This is a step in the right direction.

1657
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: The girls were also out at the Laker game this

1658
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 2: week on the court, meeting the stars, like I love

1659
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 2: to see it. I love to see it more women's

1660
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 2: events at so far.

1661
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great, I love it. Michael gets Story of

1662
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 3: the Week. Yes, is current Saints defensive tackle former Chiefs

1663
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 3: defensive tackle Colin Sanders is holding is hosting a LGBTQ

1664
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 3: friendly football camp. It welcomes all you know. He's hosting

1665
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 3: it with r. K Russell, former Cowboy. He played for

1666
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 3: the Bucks as well. But it's a football camp for all.

1667
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 3: And so for those that don't know, Colin Sanders's brother

1668
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 3: is one of Taylor's Soft's dancers and choreographers and so

1669
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 3: over the summer, when Travis Kelcey came out on her

1670
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 3: European tour with her and danced on stage, he was

1671
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 3: with Colin Sanders brother and at the time was also

1672
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 3: teammates with Colin Sauder's brother. So it was the whole

1673
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 3: full circle moment. Colin Sonder's now part of the New

1674
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 3: Orleans Saints, but he has been an incredible ally for

1675
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 3: so many people and given his brother's experience, and he said,

1676
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 3: these are people that feel like they have to be hidden.

1677
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 3: Although they might love the sport, they might love the NFL.

1678
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 3: I love football in general's sport, but they kind of

1679
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 3: shy away from it because of orientations or all these

1680
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 3: other kind of outside things. That's my goal to continue

1681
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 3: to spread positive energy around that because football is for everybody.

1682
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 2: I love more than that. Yese.

1683
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 3: He announced this on Good Morning Football and then immediately

1684
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: took to social media, took to Twitter x, and he said, Hey,

1685
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 3: this is what we're doing, really excited about it. And

1686
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 3: then he's like, oh, let's not forget these hands rated

1687
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 3: e for everyone. Don't let this ally, you know what

1688
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 3: fool you. You'll never win fighting hate with someone fighting

1689
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 3: with love. So basically it was like, come at me,

1690
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 3: and he's like he's proceeded to just kind of put

1691
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 3: all the haters in their place on social media. Walks,

1692
