00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: alongside Dan Bayer my tag team partner for this voyage

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: one more time as we roll into Week one of

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: the NFL preseason. In earnest fantasy drafts, I actually just

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: made a pick right before we went on air in

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: a long slow I'll tell you who it was in

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: a second, because the answer is maybe. We'll find out.

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,519

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: be Welcome in Dan Bayer at Dan byro On Fox,

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: at Buyer Grams, at Buyer Talk at USA Donuts. That's

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: a legend. Well, but I mean everybody fired up because

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: Shay asked the questions like where the US Is there

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: any other place?

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: Is there any other place? It is the closest place

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: that is open to the radio studios at this time

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: of the hour for us on the West coast, But

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: still it is USA Proud USA Donuts to the rescue.

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: Slam that stamp down. All right, So here's the pick

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: I made, right, you know, guillotine leagues for those unaware. Right,

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: every week the team with the lowest score you get

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: sent away. All those players go to waivers. The feeding

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: frenzy continues, and the whole strategy is, all right, how

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: much am I building a team thinking I'm their long term?

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: How much is I might have a good matchup a

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: week one? And that's the beauty of its strength of

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: schedule and all that. Ye really have no idea. We

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: could say with some sense of certainty that the Arizona

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals probably aren't gonna be very good, but you know

33
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: what they did. They still beat Sean Payton, so that

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: was kind of fun. But you know, it's that kind

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: of thing, is like, you know, you have all these

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: assumptions of how good or bad a team's gonna be,

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: and then you see some craziness go down and teams

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: get eliminated. But what it means is you're not drafting

39
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: ten or twelve teams. You're drafting enough for the entirety

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: of an NFL season and one, which means the pool

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: gets thinned real fast. So I just drafted Melvin Gordon

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: in round twelve.

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Oh wow, waiting for the JK. Dowhart, hoping for the JK.

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: Dobbins sit in to continue even longer, or.

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: I mean just questioning JK. Dobbins. His health has been

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: sure tenuous at best in a lot of a lot

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: of games and circumstance. And really it's the all right,

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I'll just have another running back on the roster should

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: this go anywhere. I mean, now we're so deep into

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: backups it's not even funny. I mean, eighteen teams, twelve rounds,

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: you're far.

52
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: Draft to find a lot of value. Yeah, Ravens are

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: one of those interesting teams with the offensive coordinator change,

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: and how are things going to be different? I don't

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: know how different they should be, Mike. To be perfectly

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: honest with you, I thought they had a nice recipe

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: for success. Maybe people don't think that they could win

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl, but I thought that they were just fine.

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: It really just comes down to Lamar Jackson and Lamar

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: Jackson being healthy.

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: But right, can he stay on the field?

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Right?

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, in the end, what you had all these

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: years a good run game, obviously Lamar being part of that.

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: And we could talk about the wide receivers and the

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: health right, because that was one of my big talking

67
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: points the last couple of seasons Dan for both the

68
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Ravens. As much as we can talk

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: about the play on the field, the fact that they

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: couldn't get guys back right. Two week injuries were six

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: week injuries constantly in the trainer's room, and both those

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: teams changed out their trainers. So we'll see if they

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: have some better I don't know. Maybe they did the

74
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: whole incense and sagebrush thing like Kyrie Irving, and maybe

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: it just took some bad demons out of the locker

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: rooms as well. But now you go and you're changing

77
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: things out, and maybe to just prove that you're a genius. Right,

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: DeCosta was how many more wide receivers can we get

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: in the room? Rashad Bateman? How much is he gonna play?

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: What he plays? Flash is a little bit of something?

81
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham junior? How good is he gonna be? The

82
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: only steady you had is Mark Andrews as a receiver.

83
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: So but if Lamar Jackson is gonna play twelve games

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: a year, it doesn't matter.

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: And when Lamar Jackson, like we always have this Lamar

86
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Jackson conversation, and now we don't have to have it

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: with because of the contract extension is there. But Lamar Jackson,

88
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: I also believe Mike is in this group where if

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: he just gets one, and maybe maybe this is kind

90
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: of on the heels of you know, Dirk Novitzky going

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame, which I know we're going

92
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: to talk about later in the show, but going into

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: the basketball Hall of Fame is Dirk didn't need to

94
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: win four titles, didn't need to win Kobe's five, just

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: needed to get one to validated. And I feel like

96
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: like Lamar is in that spot where they just need one.

97
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: If he gets one, it's solidified. He's not to be

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: in a race with Mahomes. I don't believe not gonna

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: be in a race with other quarterbacks, but to just

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: get the one is what I think would be so

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: huge for Baltimore. And you mentioned that, you know, the

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: additions the Rashad Bateman being held over. They used another

103
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: first round pick on Zay Flowers, who a lot of

104
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: people are high on as well. But I just I

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: look at the Ravens team and hey, preseason, get the

106
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: w got it? On Saturday Night against the Eagles. Keep

107
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: that thing rolling. I look at like Lamar and the

108
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: Ravens and when they would win a Super Bowl or

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: how they would win a Super Bowl. They wouldn't do it,

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: Mike as a one seed. I think they do it

111
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: as like a six seed. You know, when you go

112
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: in and you face a hot goalie in the Stanley

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: Cup playoffs and almost the next thing you know, Florida

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: Panthers are in the Stanley Cup. Yeah you know, I

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: mean the final or however you want to use the example.

116
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: If Lamar would get hot on a playoff run, you

117
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: could see something like that. You could see that run.

118
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if the one two seed like fits

119
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: then the year that they were bounced by the Titans,

120
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: and heck, you know they even went to Tennessee and

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: were able to get a road win a few years ago.

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: But if you went in as like a sixth seed

123
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: and just all of a sudden got really hot ran

124
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: through the playoffs, that's our I think Baltimore ends up

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: getting it done. Long term, you're looking at where Lamar

126
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: Jackson is.

127
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: I will full disclosure, I have a lot of Lamar

128
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Jackson shares in my early fantasy drafts do. Yeah, just

129
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: the people I know around there in Baltimore that it's

130
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: like a different resolve and that this offense really could

131
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: be something different. Right, And you didn't abandon the run game, right,

132
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: You still have a pretty good, healthy stable of guys

133
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: in there, and bringing in Melvin Gordon, you paid him

134
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: like three million dollars, so he's there. It's just a

135
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: question of how those carries get divvied up. And the defense,

136
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, is always going to be solid. But the AFC,

137
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: to your point, Dan, are you running to the one

138
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: or Juice Seed? I mean that division's gonna be tough

139
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: just in itself, right, whatever Joe Burrow's injuries, he's back

140
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: throwing and whatever. But then they'll take there, you know,

141
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: be cautious with it. But Cleveland's gonna be better Pittsburgh.

142
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: Not that we take a lot out of preseason games,

143
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: but certainly all the video that we've been watching out

144
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: of camp and all the whispers out of there, you know,

145
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: George Picktens is gonna be a problem. The run game

146
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: between Najie Harris and Jalen Warren is a problem. And

147
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: if Kenny Pickett shows that level of growth, Friarmouth, You've

148
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: got other guys that can make plays. And Pittsburgh is

149
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: always gonna be in that five hundred range. So they're

150
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna be good enough to mess things up even under

151
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: the worst circumstances because they're still gonna grind out, you know,

152
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: some of those lower games on the schedule, and they're

153
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: going to cannibalize things in division. And we know the

154
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens games are usually pretty hotly contested down to

155
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: the wire. So yeah, it's not any path even through

156
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the division, let alone the rest of the conference.

157
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: Now, you're not gonna go six an hour, five and one.

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: I mean just it's not it's not going to happen,

159
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: not not in the a f C North. And I

160
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: like Pittsburgh this year, you know, TJ. Watt hopefully for

161
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: them healthy for you know, hopefully for them the whole

162
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: the whole season as opposed to last year and missing

163
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: the first half after the injury and game number one.

164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's there's you can see. You can see

165
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City getting home field again. I'm not a big

166
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: believer in the in the Raiders, and I do think

167
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: that Denver has work to do. I think it's a

168
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: two team race in the AFC West, and so then

169
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: you start to look around at where also, Okay, who

170
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: else could the AFC East is gonna be? Is gonna

171
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: be tough a f C South. I believe it's Jacksonville's sit,

172
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: you know, division that's up for grabs. But the point

173
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: is is, yeah, I think I think the number one

174
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: seed would be difficult out of the AFC North.

175
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm also Lamar's playing seventeen sure or sixteen, Like I

176
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Twelve's the magic number and you get

177
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: what you're you know, get what you get out of that.

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: But I think just style of play and Freddy quarterback

179
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: at this point, right, I mean, there's a lot of

180
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: bumps and bruises along the way, uh, and not that

181
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: you're doing load management, but you're also trying to be

182
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: judicious about what your long term goals are and watching

183
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: these preseason games, I mean, we can take, you know,

184
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: some excitement. I was getting a bunch of texts from

185
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: friends back in Chicago justin fields. Look at that big

186
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,239
Speaker 1: Touchou'm like it was DJ Moore on a run essentially,

187
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Like I still have trouble reconciling those plays. Dan, you know,

188
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: I'll take my sixty. It looks great, and hey, sixty

189
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: four yard touchdown goes scrolling across the screen and then

190
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: you see the play. It's like, well, run, look.

191
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: At it this way, Mike. Now defenses are gonna have

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: to defend that play, which then would maybe allow Justin

193
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: Fields to have a sixty yard run if they bust this.

194
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: You know, the the coverage on the screen.

195
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: That's that's that's my guy, because two touchdowns. And man,

196
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: we obviously know that play is gonna work pretty well

197
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: for them, and they've they've really pushed that forward. But

198
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: just the excitement, it's like, look, we're going into preseason games. Man,

199
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: how much talk was there last night about Stetson Bennett

200
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: all right, Rams and Chargers getting on here. It's at

201
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: so far in Los Angeles. And again, my my tweets like,

202
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: I was out in a soccer tournament, So a good

203
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: chunk of the day of the phone was just off

204
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: and immersed in what my daughter and her team and

205
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: and everything that was going on there. So I missed

206
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: some of the early craziness except when I turned it

207
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: on and got all the Justin Field stuff. And then

208
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: I get finally get home and I refresh X, and

209
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: I was like, Bennett, Bennett, Benett, pictures of Bennett, that

210
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: guy's never seen the gym in his life, all like

211
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: every critique you could possibly have about Stetson Bennett. Here's

212
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: a picture of Wilford Brimley. How close is he to

213
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: his Wilford Brimley cocon age? You'd name it. Everything came

214
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: out in the wash, but preseason week one a lot

215
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: of excitement, and at the end, I was like, can

216
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: we just start?

217
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. And the funny thing

218
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: is is, for those that missed it, when Mike's Bears

219
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: took on of the Titans, Justin Field's not only threw

220
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: a basically a pass out in the flat to Dj Moore,

221
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: took it to the house from about sixty yards. Khalil

222
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: Herbert had a screen pass that he then took to

223
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: the house. So Justin fields numbers for the day three

224
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: for three passing, one hundred and twenty nine yards and

225
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: two touchdowns.

226
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: That is a perfect quarterback rating right there.

227
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: You ask anyway a banner, Ask anybody in fantasy football.

228
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: They're mad that the sixty two and the fifty six

229
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: yard scores did not come via his legs.

230
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's true.

231
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Dan.

232
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: Here's here's the question, you know, week one of the preseason,

233
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: and we'll continue this chatter as we go forward. Gino

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: Smith didn't take a snap. Did you ever think you'd

235
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: see a day in your life all these other guys

236
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: are taking snaps, running out couple of series sex. You

237
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: know what, Gino, he's good.

238
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: Did not did not that they'd want to keep Geno

239
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: Smith in bubble wrap, but a testament to Gino Smith.

240
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: And then then what I also saw Mike was Drew

241
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Lock looked good. Now, I don't know how much Drew

242
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: Lock really did on Thursday night against the Vikings. It

243
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: was you know, it was it was whatever. There were

244
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: a few nice throws here in that. But that's what

245
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: you get in the preseason. It's the ultimate overreaction and

246
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: and it's it's strong. I'm telling you like it is.

247
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: Some of the some of the highlights have told you

248
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: about this kid. You know, somebody breaks off a you know,

249
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: forty yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, and all

250
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden, everybody was a draft expert four months

251
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: ago and telling us about this guy or that they

252
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: were in on this guy, which actually kind of makes

253
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: me sick of the preseason a little bit, like, all right,

254
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: let's let's get the real stuff going on. I love

255
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: seeing the graphics, I love seeing the teams out on

256
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: the field, but we are We're just one weekend basically,

257
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: and I'm almost I'm almost done with the preseason.

258
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: I was laughing so Friday and Friday night, Smith's off,

259
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I've got Ernie Spanier in with me, and the end

260
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: of the Washington Cleveland game incensed him.

261
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: I don't even know what happened.

262
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, let me tell you how this

263
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: breaks down. Okay, so Washington's Cleveland scores and it's a

264
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: two point game, missed the two point conversion and then

265
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: they just kick it away. Three kneel downs and it's done,

266
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: and he lost his mind. I'm like five percent chance

267
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: of an onside kick recovery over the course of the

268
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: NFL if you look at special teams injuries just in

269
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: week one of the preseason, guys ripping quads, chess muscles,

270
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: you name, like, why are we risking anything? And he's like,

271
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: don't you want to win? I'm like, all right, you

272
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: need to calm down.

273
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 2: If they make the two point conversion. They both may

274
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: have just quit. Well, but that's final two minutes. You

275
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: kneel down, I'll kneel down. Let's go, because there's no

276
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 2: overtime in in preseason game. The other part of it,

277
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: it might is anybody that is on the kickoff team

278
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: at that point in the game very likely is not

279
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: gonna make it. That is right. So you can't even

280
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: get a rep. You can't even get a rep in

281
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: to do.

282
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: It's not your kicker, even your kicker practicing, No the

283
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: on side kick, like there's no value. That was the argument,

284
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: and he tried to like did you bet them? Like,

285
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I know you're a but I guess Browns would. The

286
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Browns were minus three, so if they'd got the ball back,

287
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: maybe they score the touchdown to actually win the game.

288
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: But it was really one of the borey inane conversations.

289
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: And it's part of it is he plays the perfect

290
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: radio foil. I'm gonna die on this argument, but it

291
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: was just one of those moments of its preseason football.

292
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: None of these guys are playing past week three, so

293
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to that soon enough. We're here brought to

299
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: we try to take out of it. We'll talk about

300
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,840

00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm usually yelling and trying to talk about something that

325
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: isn't the Jets alongside Jason Spence four hours a night,

328
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm going to reveal the curtain a little bit.

329
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: Mike sent the rundown late last night and put together

330
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: our stories and in the one line he said, stets

331
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: and Bennett. I just wanted to talk about stets and Bennett.

332
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: You get him in.

333
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: You got he got Stets and Bennett in so we

334
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: can talk about whatever it is. But we were going

335
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: to make the deal to get Stetson Bennett in.

336
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: Well, it just really was the story of that game,

337
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: right primetime game here in LA and and we've got

338
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, Ilo and Steve de

339
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: Sager and my producer justin probably we got a lot

340
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: of people that help with the broadcasts as you flow,

341
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: and you know, so I'm paying attention a little bit

342
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: because i know it's just going to come up in conversation.

343
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: My executive producer for the show with Smith, Like he

344
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: even heads up the radio spot. So it's like, all right,

345
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: what did you see when you get so try to

346
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: pay a little bit of attention. But Stetson Bennett became

347
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: the guy on social medium like, and he was good,

348
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: took some hits, made a couple of big throws, played

349
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: a lot whatever. But it's like, again owing back to

350
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: it's week one of the preseason and when we're talking

351
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: down distance, game circumstance, who he's throwing against again, all professionals,

352
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: And at no point do I ever want it to

353
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: make it sound like I'm denigrating a guy who's gone

354
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: through college football and his path to the NFL however

355
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: long short it is. But you're talking third stringers. You're

356
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: talking guys that are most likely going to be the

357
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: last you know, this may be the last stuff they

358
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: put on tape before they get into whatever the next

359
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: career is but its stetson. Bennett becomes like, I think

360
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: the poster child for this weekend's games of the preseason

361
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: and how much we try to take away from them.

362
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: For some guys, you want to get a little bit

363
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: of rusted off, right, Jordan Love, all right, you're you're

364
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: now the guy. Go do some things. A couple of

365
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: awful throws and then a nice lob to Dobbs for

366
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: the for the touchdown. Right, there was a third down pass.

367
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: It was about fifteen feet too high and about twenty

368
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: yards to the leading the wide receivers like, wow, that

369
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: was awful on a thurn down. And then they go

370
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: and score the next possession. Okay, pass completed, Clap the

371
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: hands move on the justin field stat line that we

372
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: read a little bit earlier, right, like, okay, good Bears fans,

373
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: all right, he got a little bit off. Russell Wilson

374
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: plays multiple series and it doesn't look right at all,

375
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: and then he finds Jerry Judy gets the touchdown and

376
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: finally comes out. So we're seeing that reversal. We talked

377
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: about it a little bit last week of starters, in

378
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: most cases at least kicking the can for a series

379
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: before seeding to the second teams. A little bit of

380
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: throwback that way. Guys used to play a lot longer,

381
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: but we were at the point the last two or

382
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: three years where guys were just in sweatpants hanging out

383
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: on the sideline. So at least a change there. But

384
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: trying to take any grandiose meaning from this, I mean

385
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: we got Bryce Young, played a bit, CJ. Stroud, everybody

386
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: dissected his brief time. I mean, ad nauseum. You want

387
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: to talk about a guy who's now behind the eight

388
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: ball off of a short stint playing for Houston. The

389
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: other day, man the poison pens were out in rapid

390
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: fire succession for him.

391
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: Well, it's also the first game of the week. It

392
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: gets you going, and it's really the kickoff of the preseason.

393
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 2: There's something with the Rams, though, that I do want

394
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: to bring up because I think it's worth. I think

395
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: it's worth at least a little bit of a conversation.

396
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: So tomorrow for the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio,

397
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna be live from Chargers training camp. About a

398
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: week ago, we were at Rams camp and there was

399
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: there was a different vibe with Rams camp It wasn't

400
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: a negative vibe. It's just different. There were there were

401
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 2: other years that you went there, and there's there's like

402
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: real expectations. And the message that I feel that was

403
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: coming from rams Camp and I saw it on social

404
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 2: media last night, is about how many young guys there are,

405
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 2: you know, with thirty five to forty rookies coming in

406
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: and trying to make this roster. My question, Mike, and

407
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure this out myself. Is this narrative

408
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: a precursor to what the season is or are we

409
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: talking about this narrative because it is in such stark

410
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: comparison to what they were previously, meaning, you know, the

411
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: go out, let's spend and you know, bleep them picks

412
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 2: and all that whole thing. But now there's this because

413
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: you're not necessarily one hundred percent sure on Matthew Stafford's health,

414
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: there's a retooling on the offensive line if you can

415
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 2: get everybody healthy. But there just seems to be this

416
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: push of the young guys of look at there's thirty

417
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 2: thirty to forty rookies that you could you know, new

418
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: names you could see on this roster, and my whole,

419
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: my whole thing about it is is it a pre

420
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: cursor to like, all right, get it ready for a

421
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: five and twelve season again, or is it trying to

422
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: inject something new with the organization. And that's what That's

423
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: what I can't necessarily tell. And Stetsan Bennett's probably the

424
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: one that isn't included in all of this. But I'm

425
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: just wondering on what the Rams because we don't expect

426
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: a lot from them. But is this narrative that's being

427
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: pushed one of trying to be this is a team

428
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: that's on the upswing or is it just hey, get

429
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: ready because it's going to be ugly this year too.

430
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I would go to the latter part, but also to

431
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: the idea of Sean McVeigh. How real or imagine was

432
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: he almost out of the league and taking a year

433
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: off or disappearing or whatever the case was, because I mean, look,

434
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: we did it, and I certainly had as big a

435
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: megaphone as I could saying what it gets hard and

436
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: you leave, like I get, you got a lot of circumstance,

437
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: and I don't downplay the stress of you know, the

438
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: job and the grind of coaching, et cetera. But you

439
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl. You've got your the Wonder Kids,

440
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Charmed Life, all of this super genius,

441
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: and then you have one rough year where a bunch

442
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: of guys get to get hurt and the heavy investments

443
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: that you made on veteran players didn't pay off because

444
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: most of them couldn't stay on the field. Yeah, right,

445
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: so you know you almost walked away. So I think

446
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: part of it is also all right, we've got to

447
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: go a different path, maybe from from ownership of we

448
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: paid most of our money to what eight to ten

449
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: guys yep, and then tried to sprinkle it in, which

450
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: can work. But that's also everything has to go right.

451
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: Like I always talk about it, talking about so the

452
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Cubs and their World Series run. You can never take

453
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: that away. But remember how that team was build was like,

454
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: all right, now they have their core, their nucleus for years,

455
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: here's you know, Anthony Rizzo and here's Chris Bryant and

456
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: all these guys. Well, it fractured pretty fast, right, They

457
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: didn't stay healthy, they got free agent contract. Go back

458
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: to the eighty five Bears. You're obviously Chicago centric with

459
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: my mind, you know, of the home but like one

460
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: of the most dominating teams in football history, and then

461
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: it was gone, just like that. Wilbrim Marshall leaves for Washington.

462
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: Buddy Ryan and Mike Ditka hate each other and probably

463
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: would still street fight these days. It's good, you know

464
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: all of those things that you know, it just fractures

465
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: really quickly. And for the Rams, you had everything come

466
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: together properly. Hell, even Odell Beckham Junior getting hurt didn't matter,

467
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: which was good talking about you know his I would

468
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: have gotten two fifty in that game if I hadn't

469
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: gotten hurt. You've got guys from the Bengals chirping bags

470
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: like I still got my ring. So I mean it's

471
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: good fodder, right, I enjoy it. But the next iteration

472
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: and this were stets In Bennett actually has some football

473
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: value for what he showed and the length that because

474
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: ripping was no good. Right saw that pretty fast. We

475
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: kind of know what Brett Rippon is. Yes, So for

476
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett, for all the age jokes and whatever else,

477
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: the guy's played against the best competition that you could

478
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: possibly throw at him for multiple years. If Matthew new

479
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Stafford isn't right, this was also the audition of all right,

480
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: are we going to be ready with him. But I

481
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: think to your point, it's going to be a rough year,

482
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: But the bigger thing is we're gonna have to do

483
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: this a different way.

484
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I also think of just how they're handling how

485
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: they would handle that backup quarterback spot also maybe tells

486
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: you that if it's not Matthew Stafford, they obviously have

487
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: no chance. And the only reason I bring that up

488
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: off of what you said is because of what happened

489
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: with McVeigh prior to Matthew Stafford, when you had Jared

490
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: Goff and John Wolford, and then all of a sudden,

491
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: the playoffs come around and Wolford's going to be the

492
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: starter and he's replaced Jared Goff, and so there was

493
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: value there, meaning I mean, for as great as Stetson

494
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: Bennett was at Georgia and leading them to back to

495
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: back Nash titles, if if he's if Matthew Stafford's hurt,

496
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: they're not They're not going to go anywhere. And even

497
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: if Matthew Stafford's healthy, I think that there's a question.

498
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 2: You know, there's no more Jalen Ramsey.

499
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of depth. Cooper cups already a

500
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: little bit nicked up in the preseason, should be okay,

501
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: But look at the rest of the receiving corps. Not

502
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: a murderers row cam akers. What is he?

503
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

504
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Is he the guy that nobody wanted on the field

505
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: and was going to walk away? Or is the guy

506
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: that suddenly became the bell cow for a month period

507
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: dourn to stretch. We don't know, like once the game

508
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: and the season was already gone at that point. Yeah,

509
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: right to when he has his big numbers. So how

510
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: much do we call it, you know, on a season

511
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: basis what we do on a normal football Sunday of hey,

512
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: fourth quarter garbage time. Yeah, take nothing away from his effort.

513
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: The numbers are the numbers. But are you getting that again?

514
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Is that the guy that's bought in or they made,

515
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, play nice sandbox and move forward? Defensively, you're

516
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: a year older in the secondary. You mentioned Ramsey's gone.

517
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: He's not playing where he's at either, but he's gone.

518
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: That takes a lot of that veteran leadership away. You

519
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: got your Seahawks and you got the forty nine ers

520
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: that no matter who's a quarterback, they always seem to

521
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: be formidable. Sure, so and the Arizona I think we

522
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: can all agree. Unless some miracle happens, they're going to

523
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: be terrible. But the Rams are looking at a third

524
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: place finish in the division.

525
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a lot from Week one because the

526
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: Rams are in Seattle to face the Seahawks, and no

527
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: matter what, the Rams have just had the Seahawks number.

528
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: Even even in games that the Seahawks have won, mic

529
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 2: it hadn't it hasn't been easy, like you know, especially

530
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: over the last you know, three years or so. There

531
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: was a Thursday night game a few years back when

532
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: the Rams are still wearing the white horns and Jared

533
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: Goff was still trying to figure stuff out, and the

534
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: Seahawks brought out there, you know, the the green uniforms

535
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: and it was just, you know, they dominated. But other

536
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: than maybe that performance, it's always been a difficult game

537
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: for Seattle. If Seattle is you know, wins that game

538
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: with ease, it may tell you something about the Rams

539
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: in Week one and where this team really is because

540
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: they just have they've kind of had the Seahawks number

541
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: and have been able to match up with them. And

542
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: even when the Seahawks were a better team and the

543
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 2: Rams obviously with better team the last you know, a

544
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 2: couple of years prior to last year. But yeah, that

545
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: Week one matchup will tell you a lot. I just

546
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: I found the sets and Bennett' stuff. I think it

547
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: gets a lot of hype too, because oh, here's college

548
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: quarterback name. Now we're gonna see him in the NFL

549
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 2: this weekend. But you're hearing a lot of the thirty

550
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: five to forty rookies on this team. This you're going

551
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: to see a lot of. And I just kept on

552
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: hearing that. I saw a tweet about that, like somebody

553
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: tweeted thought it could have been a hashtag ad after

554
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: it because of this message that's being pushed. And I'm like,

555
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: why is this message being pushed? Is it because hey

556
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: we're on the upswing, or hey this is going to

557
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: break you for a for a hard fall if you

558
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: think that there could be something special coming up this season.

559
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we need to go back and do

560
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: a deep as to what those contracts all look at

561
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: like at the end of this year, how many do

562
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: they get off the books so they can do a

563
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: complete reload or overhaul. And maybe that's part of the

564
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,239
Speaker 1: reason mcveigh's back because you do, get to build it

565

00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 5: career interviews with sideline reporters.

619
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: I heard the duh line. I don't know if when

620
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: did that happen? Like? How soon in the internew did

621
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: you know? Yeah?

622
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 5: It was it was relatively soon, and so he went

623
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 5: over and he you know, embraced it was it was Parker, Jenobili,

624
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 5: Duncan and David Robinson, and they thought that that was

625
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 5: the end of his speech. So a madrasad came to

626
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 5: get him off the stations.

627
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: He started to play.

628
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, it was like the Academy Awards where they

629
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 5: played people off the stage.

630
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: I dig that a madrashod still part of the festivities.

631
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: Thinking back to him and Willow Bay on a Saturday morning.

632
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: Sheer will we grew up. We grew up that way,

633
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: sheer Wheel. Indeed. Yes.

634
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: Now you also mentioned ilo the age difference between Stetson

635
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Bennett and Justin Herbert. I just want to say it's

636
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: really good that Herbert got his contract because now he's

637
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: equal to career earnings on Twitter.

638
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: At damn, the dogs are going to be barking at

639
00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: Mike Carmen get him at.

640

Speaker 1: Some I'll take it all as we roll on. There's

641
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: there's an exciting story in golf. And no it's not

642
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: the soccer golf tournament we were watching earlier as we

643

644
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,760

653
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: So much on the the books today in terms of

654
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 1: sporting activity, Dan, But a story that that circled up

655
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: that I thought I would I would ask you about,

656
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, as the the golf officionado here, you've got

657
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: your what you got a titleist hat on titles and

658
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: the US Open pullover. So I was using my US Open,

659
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: uh little little chair that I bought all these soccer tournaments.

660
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a conversation starter, just like

661
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: we talked about last week, Dan Bar everybody has to

662
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: ask really get to go. It's like, yeah, I went,

663
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, parents from other teams might be fighting

664
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: like cats and dogs on the pitch, Dan, but the

665
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: US Open chair brings everybody together.

666
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: Yes, it brings up conversation, it's it's great. It's also

667
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: the tricky thing of when you're wearing an event on

668
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: your shirt that you didn't go to because or sitting

669
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: in a chair to be like, oh, did you go

670
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 2: in there and you're like no, and it's such a disappointment.

671
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: So I've tried to veer away from, you know, stuff

672
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: like that because it is such a letdown, especially for

673
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: the person that asked. Then you feel like you're letting them.

674
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: Well, but like the concert shirts or whatever, Oh did

675
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: you get to go? It's like, no, it's not. His

676
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: sign was cool?

677
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

678
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: Or my my friend went and bought me this shirt.

679
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: I know, that's that's a different one. I got my

680
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: buddy went or got you like, that's that's.

681
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: There's at least you know, I'm a middleman. But no, yeah,

682
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: I bought it because I like the loco, yes exactly.

683
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Or it was in the backyard and whatever.

684
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 2: You're an Oilers fan, Uh No, I just liked the

685
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: oil Derek logo. That's what I get when I you know,

686
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: like when you are the throwback.

687
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: I just like that you say oiled Derek. Yes, it's

688
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's what it is. But in today's day

689
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: and age, you PLoP a fifty dollars bill in for

690
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: someone and say, what is that oil? Derek probably ain't

691
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: coming to their mind real fast.

692
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

693
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: According to the wonderful world of the twitter verse, someone

694
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: was quoted as saying that Tiger Woods was out and

695
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: about and a junior golf tournament last week at Old

696
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: Palm uh in Florida and had no walking boot on

697
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, the eyebrows raised, people

698
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: get excited, and so you know, this has gone through

699
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: playing through the the blog, and it's made its ways

700
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: through uh, the the social media world, and we'll take

701
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: it at face value here because it's just a great

702
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: talking point, is Tiger Woods. We keep waiting for the

703
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: the next iteration, And you and I have been doing

704
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: this for a long time together, and you know, folks

705
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: get I think we're just at the we'll take any

706
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: glimpse we can get of Tiger will ye period in this.

707
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, in this week we obviously had the Phil

708
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: Mickelson Billy Walter's story that took up a lot of oxygen.

709
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: Roy McElroy and Jordan Speith kind of commenting on all

710
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: of those things.

711
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: And Phil Micholson, by the way, denied something that he

712
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: wasn't being accused of. He wanted to bet on the

713
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup, which was the accusation. Phil statement of denial says,

714
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: I never bet on the Ryder Cup. He never denied

715
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: that he wanted to.

716
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody that that's a rational human

717
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: being that's watched Phil Michelson for the last twenty five

718
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: years would believe that he didn't want to correct right,

719
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: because we'd heard a lot of things. And Smith and

720
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: I got into a big long discussion about betting habits

721
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: and whatever and really put that but Rory taking his shot, well,

722
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: he won't have to worry about betting on himself this

723
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: time around. Whatever. But he comes in because golf was

724
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: in the news a bunch this week based on that,

725
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: And so for Tiger Woods, whenever the name comes up,

726
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: you get to bring up the history, you get to

727
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: bring up some of those great shots and great rounds

728
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: Dan and for the game, it injects a little bit

729
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: of juice, not only within the golf community, but certainly

730
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: in the sports world at large, because we could start

731
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: running more top tens, we could start running more top fives.

732
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: We can talk about all the history and the records,

733
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: and even if there's an appearance at a course, it's

734
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: a big deal.

735
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: We're eight months away from the Masters in twenty twenty four,

736
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: a lot sooner than people would think, but eight months away,

737
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: and when you think of that event, that's the part

738
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: where if you're looking at a Tiger comeback, you look

739
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: towards maybe he would play at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera,

740
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: maybe there would be a tournament that he would play prior.

741
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 2: But when we last saw Tiger again, it's him limping

742
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: around Augusta National when weather wasn't great that week. And

743
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: then you go to the year before, Mike in twenty

744
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: twenty two, when he wanted to play the Masters, played

745
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: in the PGA Championship but had to withdraw, and then

746
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: he was like, I'm going to play the Open Championship

747
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 2: at St. Andrews. Missed the US Open, but that was

748
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: the big deals to play at the one hundred and

749
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: fiftieth Open Championship and what ends up happening, Mike. The

750
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: reason I'm bringing this timeline up is because the more

751
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: you watched him, you're like, man, he's a lot further away.

752
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: From that twenty nineteen Masters win than I thought, But

753
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 2: how many of us truly really thought the Tiger would

754
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: win the twenty nineteen when he did, And I think

755
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: if we were being honest with ourselves, we didn't think

756
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: that he would be able to do that again. But

757
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: he did it. So now that's what this does because

758
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: the last really you know, five major tournaments, four or

759
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: five major tournaments that we've seen of Tiger, he's been

760
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: limping around, he's been hurting, the conditions haven't been ideal.

761
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 2: Withdrew from the Masters because of the bad weather this

762
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: past year, where Sunday was going to be quite the

763
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: you know, quite the trek for him and ended up

764
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: withdrawing and not playing there on the final day, but

765
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 2: made the cut, and now are saying, well, now because

766
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 2: following the surgery, now he can maybe do that again.

767
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: Now he can maybe get Major number sixteen. And I

768
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 2: think it's because we truly never thought that he would

769
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: actually win again, and when he did in twenty nineteen,

770
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: it makes us think that he can do the impossible again.

771
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: And that's why I think there's so much hype of

772
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: Tiger's not seen in a walking boot. Well, guess what

773
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: he got the issue fixed that had been hampering him

774
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: for the last you know, twelve to eighteen months, and

775
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: I it's that's why people get excited. I don't think

776
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: it's realistic that he's gonna win a major again, I

777
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: really really don't. But the I didn't think you would

778
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: win the twenty nineteen Masters, and I think that's what

779
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people are holding out of Tiger doing

780
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: the unthinkable and surprising us all again.

781
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: Well, we like to cite it as often as we can.

782
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: Hope is can be the best of things. Hope is

783
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: a dangerous thing at times. But the old you're saying,

784
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a chance, and if he's on the course, there's

785
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: a chance, yes, And if it brings casual folks back in,

786
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: even for one tournament, one round, one weekend, you get

787
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: to think of all those great times you had watching

788
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: him when he was at his best and keeping Phil

789
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: and his pocketbook lean betting on himself.

790
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: That news maybe bigger than the Fedexicup playoffs that have

791
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 2: started this week. Crazy enough, crazy how that all works together.

792
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,080

Speaker 1: bring that to the masses and get them mount me too.

808
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: Why not get everybody mad at you?

809
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: That's okay, you know that's what we try to do.

810
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: You're mad at them, Well, that's Jit's it's a battle.

811
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: I mean, look, my rundown still says Saturday again. So

812
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: you know all of those things that flow together.

813
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: This is a true and I know the listener doesn't

814
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: necessarily know. But Shay, you can end this tradition. I

815
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: would think, since well, since I've been here in March,

816
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: it has always said Fox Sports Saturday at the top

817
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 2: of this rundown, So you have the power. It has

818
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: always said that. It is always said Fox Sports Saturday,

819
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: so you have the power to make the change.

820
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: So every week when we begin the show at six am,

821
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: I've started the tradition of crossing out Saturday as I

822
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: do the instroduction and writing Sunday atop my rundown. There's

823
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: your behind the curtains. But hey, the information, the.

824
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 2: Date underneath it is correct. It says Sunday August thirteenth,

825
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: and last week I'm sure it said Sunday August sixth,

826
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 2: but above it said Fox Sports Saturday.

827
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: It's funny how it all works together and we just

828
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: call out what we do and there it is coming

829
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: up twenty five days from now. It's like a lit

830
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: an advent calendar that we can get started.

831
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 2: Be great. That's actually a really good idea.

832
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: The twenty five days ahead of the opening night game.

833
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: I mean, do you take little mini bottles of booze,

834
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: like different confections.

835
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 2: This is what I would do is a cheese curd

836
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 2: day I would take I would I would get a

837
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: I would get a box. I would make thirty two doors.

838
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 2: So each door you open is something of a team, okay,

839
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 2: like maybe a coin or a piece of candy, maybe

840
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: in the shape of a Dallas Cowboy star. But for

841
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 2: each of the doors you would open would be something

842
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: related to one of the thirty two NFL teams. The

843
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: larger trading card.

844
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't know you did it, well, I mean, we

845
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: make it where it's a giant wall, just.

846
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: Play the enormous one. I'm just thinking the one you

847
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 2: keep on the counter.

848
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: But okay, okay, you know I was. I was thinking

849
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: large vision. Here there's thirty two trading cards and every

850
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: day you get a legend. Actually, that's not a terrible idea.

851
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: I think we now have to see if we how

852
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: much is it going to cost us to manufacture that dan.

853
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: They they were in radio, but then they teamed up

854
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 2: and they're the ones who started the NFL Advent calendar.

855
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 2: It's not a bad way to get part of our Yeah. Well,

856
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: I have been.

857
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: Getting a lot of ads. They evidently did one from

858
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 1: Nakatomi Plaza, where you can have Hans Gruber falling every

859
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: day and you move him down to zero. So you've

860
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: got that going for you as well. We've got Chris

861
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: Prophet tags in from Mark Shay, who we shouted out

862
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: there it is it easy and our guy Isaac Low

863
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: and crown on Updates pleased to be with you here

864
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: on a beautiful Fox Sports Sunday morning. Yesterday. The Naysmith

865
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame got to get it right

866
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: because otherwise people get a little upset, you know, And

867
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: if you go to their website, it's just whopaul dot com.

868
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: They don't even go through the pageantry of giving you

869
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: a full name. But we had a lot of inductions yesterday,

870
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot of long speeches. You heard Ilow refer to

871
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: Greg Popovic's twenty six minutes, which is amazing. We'll get

872
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: to him in a second. They do always do an

873
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: autograph signing as a group that you could buy tickets to,

874
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: and they have long established Hall of famers that do

875
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: those as well. But saw some video clips coming out

876
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: of people breaking down into tears getting to talk to

877
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 1: Popovich and the other members of this class about what

878
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: they meant to them in their careers and such it

879
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: was really some touching stuff, right. So you have Dwayne

880
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: Wade probably as you laid it out, would be atop

881
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: the marquee. Name wise, you've got Popovich and Parker, Dirk Noavinski,

882
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: my guy Gene Katie, who I used to see at

883
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: Welsh Ryan Arena in Evanston as a student and thereafter

884
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: always said, hey, he was always really nice as can

885
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: be until the whistle blew and then he had that

886
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: trademark scowl on his face and.

887
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: There I have heard similar similar stories about Gene Katie

888
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 2: just being an awesome individually, just.

889
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: An awesome dude talking to you about his team, the players whatever.

890
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: I remember when Glenn Robinson was there and whatever, what

891
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: a big deal you know that was, and how much

892
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: he loved talking about that team, Kwanso Martin and all

893
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: those guys together. And then you got Paul Gasol. There's

894
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: other members, Becky Hammond and such. But for the purpose

895
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: of this conversation, we'll talk about it from an NBA perspective,

896
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: and why don't we hear from Popovich to get things

897
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: rolling as we get into the Hall of Fame discussion.

898
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 6: I tried to think of a word that would describe

899
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 6: what this might feel like, and it feels even it

900
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 6: feels even different than I thought it would. But for me,

901
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 6: it's unimaginable. And that's not an attempt to be humble.

902
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: This is unimaginable.

903
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 6: And for anybody that's gone through this and felt it,

904
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 6: it's not you think about as you're growing up.

905
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: It's unimaginable. So Popovich goes on for twenty six minutes.

906
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: You've got all of the luminaries from the titles, and

907
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: you see David Robinson, Tim Duncan popped out of hiding,

908
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: all of those things that we get, and we celebrate

909
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: those squads, right, Becky Hammond for her role and what

910
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: we talk about women and coaching and what the next

911
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: iteration and growth of the sport and evolving of the sport.

912
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, Popovich and Parker. Over here, we've got Dirk

913
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: Noavitsky one ring with the Mavericks. But look, we had

914
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: a song when Christaps Porzingis came into the league. You know,

915
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: is he the you know Latvian Dirk was the hope

916
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: and then he's had a bunch of injuries and bounced around.

917
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: But every once in a while you see glimpses of

918
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: what could have been. But Dirk gets presented by Jason Kidd.

919
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: Paul Gasol goes in as well, he gets presented by

920
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: Tony Kukoch, going back to my you know, nineties bulls

921
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: in that process, and all of them have their their

922
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: the web of how the NBA has progressed these last

923
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Popovic obviously still coaching, still active, But

924
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: we look at the impact for the global and globalization

925
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: of the game. Like you can make your argument for

926
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: a number of these players and participants like Popovich that

927
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: and coaches and contributors that how much they've changed the game.

928
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: Like I love Dwayne Wade, great player, but is he

929
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: a transcendent guy in that same way. No, We've got

930
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: three pillars over here that I think are just a

931
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: bit different.

932
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think Dwayne Wade on the surface, people would

933
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: look at that and be like, that's your marquee Hall

934
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 2: of Famer. But when you dive deeper into this class,

935
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: and honestly, we don't dive deep into Hall of Fame

936
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: classes that go into the Basketball Hall of Fame class

937
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 2: that unless you have, you know, a class like this

938
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: where it's just star after star after star. But I

939
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 2: think that Dwayne Wade's name brand would be probably on

940
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 2: the outside marquis. But you want to talk about what

941
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: the night really felt about. It did seem like it

942
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: was a celebration of the San Antonio Spurs, but I

943
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: would argue that of everybody there and that so the

944
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: Spurs and Tony Parker and Greg Popovich and what they've done,

945
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: that the person with the biggest impact is Dirk Novitzky.

946
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 2: And to see what he meant to the NBA, how

947
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: it changed, how teams were trying to draft players, the

948
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: way that Europe opened up to the NBA and the

949
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: NBA trying to find the next Dirk. We've talked about

950
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: so many times. I would say that his presence and

951
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: what he meant is probably had the most impact on

952
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 2: the game. And then it's not just the one title

953
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: to summ his career standing in Hall of Fame standing,

954
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: you know, there's there's also the fact of like they're

955
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 2: you know, late Kobe Bryant. How many guys do you

956
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: think Kobe Bryant came into the league that Kobe Bryant

957
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 2: like truly respected and like you know, looked after and said,

958
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm good with that. I think Dirk

959
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 2: was one of those guys. Heck, he tried to copy

960
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 2: Dirk shot, you know, like there's.

961
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 1: And recruit him in all of those things. Right, those

962
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: stories are legendary, there's yeah, there's you know.

963
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 2: So when you look at this class, it's such a

964
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: star studded name brand class. But I think that this

965
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 2: is not meant to disrespect Dwayne Wade at all. I

966
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: think that when we look at today's NBA, Dwayne Wade's

967
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 2: name probably pops more than more than everyone else's. But

968
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: it was a celebration I felt to the Spurs. But

969
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 2: in reality, like the biggest, the biggest impact in basketball

970
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 2: maybe of any of the buddy on that dais last

971
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 2: night or at the podium, was Dirk Noovitsky.

972
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 1: So you have Dwayne Wade, right, You've got him with Shack,

973
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: You've got him with Lebron James, clearly married to Gabrielle Union,

974
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: they do commercials, he's got a game show, very present

975
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: as it were. Dirknovisky he opened a restaurant at the

976
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: airport and then went to the Hall of Fame stuff.

977
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: So that was great. To your point about the International

978
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: I was leaning towards Paul Gasol because he's a guy

979
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: that I think from the larger scale doesn't have the

980
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: same name and name recognition and juice. But without him,

981
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant doesn't get his other two titles.

982
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: But is that Hall of Fame worthy?

983
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you look at his career and the

984
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: way the Basketball Hall of Fame works, you start adding

985
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: international play and everything else, there's a lot of names

986
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: that go in. Yes, right, yes, that kind of thing.

987
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: So for me, it's it's him, but it's also what

988
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: it does for the legacy of Kobe Bryant. To add

989
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,959
Speaker 1: on to the international stuff is undisputed.

990
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: Right.

991
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: You had players that had made their way over, but

992
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: they were outliers in terms of scouting recruiting. You had

993
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: one or two organizations that did that. And then you

994
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: look at even the Spurs, Tony Parker coming from France

995
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of those players. And

996
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: now somehow they get Victor wemb min Yama who grew

997
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: up a Spurs fan because of Tony Parker. But you know,

998
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: the ball, the balls bounce and tanking happens as as

999
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: it does, no penalties for them. But the idea is

1000
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: that you know, you you have the the international like

1001
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: because That's what the Spurs did. They took a lot

1002
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 1: of shots on guys that never came over.

1003
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 2: Right.

1004
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: They would always draft guys like maybe in two to

1005
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: three years they develop and they want to come to

1006
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: the States. Maybe they don't, but they're lottery picks. And

1007
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean that from the maybe they they get it to,

1008
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: you know, give us some rich maybe they don't in

1009
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: second round pick. So not a lot of big investment

1010
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: because they probably weren't gonna make the rotation that year anyway,

1011
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: and then they never came. But there were very few

1012
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 1: teams back in the day that really spent any money

1013
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: on international scouting, and Dirk changed that, which why now

1014
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: having Kukoach as part of the ceremonies is a big

1015
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: deal because he was also this guy in Chicago. I

1016
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: never thought he was gonna come correct, correct, right, I mean,

1017
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: so you know, you change the game there. I'm just

1018
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: looking at it from the you know, the the other

1019
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: side of from Gasol. He doesn't have that same marquee level,

1020
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: but his impact certainly here in Los Angeles. You know,

1021
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: you don't look at basketball the same and Kobe Bryant's

1022
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: legacy and what he means on the pantheon when we

1023
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: talk about him and Duncan as that next tier of

1024
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: guys with three titles that doesn't get there.

1025
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, I think with Pow it

1026
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 2: is that it is the whole picture. It's what's happened internationally,

1027
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 2: you know, in looking at the class that went in.

1028
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 2: Tony Parker was a guy honestly that I couldn't stand,

1029
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: could not stand Tony Parker. And then in two thousand

1030
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: and seven they beat the Cavaliers in the finals, swept them,

1031
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 2: and that's when he was Finals MVP. He really got

1032
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 2: like an appreciation of what he was because you remember,

1033
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 2: like that the Spurs team that won their first title

1034
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 2: that was in Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott, David Robinson and

1035
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 2: Tim Duncan, and so then he, you know, like Duncan stays,

1036
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: but there are pieces that then Bruce Bowen ends up being,

1037
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, part of that run, and their new Manu

1038
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: obviously comes along, but Parker was you know, I think

1039
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: it was I just I don't think it was because

1040
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: he was French Mike, but there was just something about

1041
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 2: Tony Parker. I'm like, gosh, you know, this guy lands

1042
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 2: into this spot, you know, getting to play with Tim Duncan,

1043
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 2: but then you really got to see him later on

1044
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 2: one of the guys that I couldn't stand, but then

1045
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 2: later on in his career just really really appreciated as

1046
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 2: a player for what he did. I was even I

1047
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: was kind of like that with Russell Westbrook as well.

1048
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: But Tony Parker, I think there are some people who

1049
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 2: be like, as Tony Parker really a Hall of Famer,

1050
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 2: you know, like like I think that would be the

1051
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,959
Speaker 2: you know, one of one of the questions you also

1052
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 2: have to realize on who is actually in the Hall

1053
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 2: of Fame, and then if you saw it, you'd be like, oh, yeah,

1054
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 2: obviously he's a Hall of Famer. But lest I felt

1055
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 2: like a celebration of the Spurs, and I do feel

1056
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 2: that Tony Parker's Hall of Fame worthy.

1057
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is always interesting we get into these debates

1058
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: of Hall of Fames and it's not me trying to

1059
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,479
Speaker 1: justify say, Harold Baynes being in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

1060
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: But in the end, it is a museum celebrating periods

1061
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: of time and players that contributed to it. Yeah, and

1062
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: you don't tell the tale of that second part of

1063
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 1: the Spurs run without Tony Parker.

1064
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 2: Correct, yep, right right, and.

1065
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: He's still there for all of it. And Manu gets

1066
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: in at the International I get it. And you know,

1067
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: we look at the number of guys go in, you know,

1068
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: pro football Hall of Fame, get contentious, Baseball Hall of Fame,

1069
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: be pick and choose, deciding on who you like and

1070
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: what's more important versus others at other points. And I'm

1071
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: not going down the McGuire and Bonds and Clemens road here,

1072
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: but it's just worthy to note that in the end,

1073
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: you're celebrating the game and you can go in and

1074
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: see artifacts of all these guys, but they don't get in.

1075
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: Billy always kind of an interesting thing. It's like, hey,

1076
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: we can't tell this tale without a baseball from this guy,

1077
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: a bat from this guy. But you know what, you

00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,719

00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: and it's you might as well have it like it's

1090
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: an election map, trying to read the tea leaves. But

1091
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: you know what, there was a ruling that came down

1092
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,560

Speaker 1: as we come to you from the tirerac dot Com studios. Now,

1109
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot has changed in our college world, a lot

1110
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: of football back and forth, a lot of big verbal swings.

1111
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: And I know earlier Jeff and Andy doing a little

1112
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: bit of the blame game and kind of talking about

1113
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, where do you source it between the PAC

1114
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: twelve and ACC And we'll get into the ACC and

1115
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: we don't want your leftovers kind of thing coming up

1116
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: a little bit later. But one thing has remained the

1117
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: same is that the NCAA, for their part of all

1118
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: of it, they can't get anything right and come to

1119
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: an easy resolution seemingly on anything. And I've joked about

1120
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: it the last couple of weeks. The fact that we're

1121
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: in negotiations with Jim Harbaugh at Michigan over the burgers

1122
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: and improper benefits and whatever else about when and how

1123
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: a suspension will be served. She shows you how useless

1124
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: this year organization is at this point. Right, It used

1125
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: to be all right. Long investigation, too long, too many people,

1126
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: too many dollars. We saw it right. Reggie Bush had

1127
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: was already finishing his NFL career before they did anything

1128
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: with what happened at USC and so many investigations. We

1129
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: saw the Tennessee deal. Here's eight million dollars. We'll take

1130
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: away some wins. Nobody cares because they're done. You don't

1131
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: have to give back any of the money or anything

1132
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: that flowed out of that. Oh and the scholarship productions

1133
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: because you worked with us a little bit. Tell you

1134
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: what time served, and then you've got two scholarships of

1135
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: each of the next couple of years that you lose.

1136
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: Everybody good, Yeah, man, is there any teeth to that? No,

1137
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: you had two hundred fractions and that was your penalty.

1138
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: And now Jim Harbaugh negotiating for a four game suspension,

1139
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: and the NCAA Committee on Infractions decided, you know what,

1140
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: we don't like this. This is done. Becomes a all

1141
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: right kick that can down the road and get ready

1142
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: for the season. Opener.

1143
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 4: I e.

1144
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: You may never be suspended at all by time the

1145
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: winds blow.

1146
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not I'm not sure if that's the case.

1147
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 2: I would say that if the uh it was a

1148
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 2: four game ban, that was expected for Jim Harbaugh, and

1149
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 2: that's and and I'm gonna say that's it. I know

1150
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 2: that's not totally it, but it basically is because he

1151
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 2: would have been allowed to be around the team throughout

1152
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: the week and would have been able to be there

1153
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,439
Speaker 2: at practice. He just wouldn't be there on game days.

1154
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 2: And you're like, well, that could be an issue. The

1155
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 2: games that he would miss were against East Carolina, UNLV,

1156
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: Bowling Green, and Rutgers exactly, like, so those are the

1157
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 2: those are the matchups. You know if if it.

1158
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: Is a conference game, though, Dan, that is big showdown

1159
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: against Rutgers.

1160
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 2: That is true for a team that really could win

1161
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 2: a national championship this year. If if all goes right,

1162
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 2: for them to have him miss the first six games

1163
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: of the season wouldn't even be that big of a deal.

1164
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 2: It's not the problem of just how massive this is

1165
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 2: if that's if we're talking about a deal between a

1166
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: four and six game or if it's even more than

1167
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 2: say six games. Because what's being reported is Harbaud did

1168
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 2: not cooperate with the investigation, and so there's expectations are

1169
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: are through the roof national championship is not out of

1170
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 2: the question, especially for a team that you know made

1171
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: it to the to the College Football Playoff last year,

1172
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: had that crazy game against TCU, losing in the in

1173
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 2: the semi finals, but you know play Krum should be

1174
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: back healthy. A lot of a lot of optimism in

1175
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,959
Speaker 2: ann Arbor. And you just wonder, Mike on how how

1176
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: severe that the penalty the NCAA would like to hand down,

1177
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 2: because I think that if it was the four games,

1178
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 2: Michigan would run and take that ticket to to the

1179
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 2: office and cashing in immediately, especially considering he'd be able

1180
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 2: to be with the team the six other days of

1181
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 2: the week of that with a case.

1182
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of this is the Harbaugh obstinates

1183
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: that comes into it, right that maybe he's still not

1184
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: he's reticent to accept that he wouldn't play games miss

1185
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: that he would have to miss those games. I should

1186
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: say that they play, but the committee and fractions like,

1187
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: is there more to it, because as you just laid

1188
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: it out and what we've seen transpire, the fact that

1189
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: he didn't cooperate not shocking, but are you trying to

1190
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: make an example of him? Is there something else? Another

1191
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: shoe to drop because they're talking about this could go

1192
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: to a full hearing. Michigan, I guess, still has the

1193
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: potential to try to raise up and say, hey, well

1194
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: we'll find him, suspend him, have our own self imposed stuff,

1195
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: much like Tennessee. Right, hey, we agree to this, so

1196
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: scholarships or whatever over so many years, et cetera. It's

1197
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: just funny that we're actually negotiating a suspension as opposed

1198
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: to all right, you can go through the appeals process,

1199
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: you can fight. Here's where we're at, four games, eight

1200
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: games a year or whatever. Band like, no, no, let's

1201
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Let's let's talk it out and

1202
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: see in this day and age of college athletics, how

1203
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: severe your punishment really should be.

1204
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 2: You know, if I'm Michigan, I just would I honestly

1205
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: just would want him on the sidelines starting November first.

1206
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Like that's like, that's the stretch around they should be

1207
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 2: able to navigate. I know that there could be surprising

1208
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: games here, but you got to back into the schedule.

1209
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 2: Your final three regular season games are Penn State, Maryland,

1210
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: and Ohio State. Like that's what that's what you want

1211
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: to make sure that your Hay has made There's there's

1212
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 2: no Wisconsin on the schedule, there's no Illinois on the schedule.

1213
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 2: There's so I mean, if if that's the case, Mike,

1214
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm Michigan, I'm saying five. And I know there could

1215
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 2: be pay involved as well, So not naive to to think.

1216
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 2: But in the grand scheme of things of what's at

1217
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 2: stake for Michigan this year, for the school to get

1218
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 2: this out of the way, if you were to miss

1219
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 2: six or eight games, not a big deal. The reason

1220
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 2: that just has me scratching my head are two things.

1221
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 2: Number One, I don't think that Harbaugh leaves after this season.

1222
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 2: I actually now believe that his days of coaching in

1223
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 2: the NFL or are older. I would agree, Yeah, I

1224
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 2: don't think that that is going to happen. We know

1225
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: that he interviewed for the Vikings job a few years ago.

1226
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 2: I think that we felt that the Colts and Dolphins

1227
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:40,439
Speaker 2: were likely the most likely opportunities for him to go

1228
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 2: and coach for Jim Mersey, a place where he played well.

1229
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 2: They just hired Shane Steichen, so wasn't like Harbaugh could

1230
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 2: really go in indian go to Indianapolis right away. Miami

1231
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 2: seems to be in a decent place with Mike McDaniel.

1232
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 2: And we know the Stephen Ross connection and that Stephen

1233
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 2: Ross also wouldn't want to take Jim hart Ball away

1234
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 2: from Michigan. I just don't know. I don't know what

1235
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 2: options there would be in the NFL that would would

1236
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 2: want to bring him in again.

1237
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean thinking about it from both sides. For

1238
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, what's better than what you have now? Right?

1239
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: Any NFL job is not necessarily a step up, right,

1240
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: especially the style and the type of guy is. If

1241
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: people are bristling over Eric b Enemy right now in Washington,

1242
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: is Harbaugh you know that much? You know, leaner, meaner, nicer,

1243
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: whatever in terms of how he dealt with NFL players,

1244
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: because he had the reputation not just battling with front

1245
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: offices but also around players that it would wear out

1246
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: after a short period of time. The other part was,

1247
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, for me with all the Michigan because in

1248
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: our business we had a lot of people calling him

1249
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: for him to go. It's like, at some point you

1250
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: got to be realistic about who you are, right That

1251
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: title with Bo schem Beckler is a long time ago. Yes,

1252
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: And Lloyd Carr is a long time ago. Right, those

1253
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: are out liars in what has been pretty a really

1254
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: good run. Right. If I'm winning nine games a year,

1255
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean what else? What else do you expect?

1256
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 4: Right?

1257
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean you're in rarefied air if you're doing that

1258
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: on an annual basis with the occasional one off hiccup

1259
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: and stuff when thing doesn't work your way. Uh and

1260
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: and so you know this rise back and the expectations

1261
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: as you laid them out for this year, who are

1262
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: you finding that's better? Like anytime we want to do

1263
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the fire, the coach get rid of this guy. He

1264
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: can't win X y Z. It's like, all right, that's fine.

1265
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: You don't like the end mbry, he doesn't win a

1266
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: playoff game whatever, Like, who are you going and finding

1267
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: the next whiz kid that's suddenly going to have that

1268
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: program and keep it to that level immediately? Right? I

1269
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: don't know that that guy is always there to be found.

1270
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: We do it in every sport when we try to

1271
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: run guys out of town, and then everybody gets mad

1272
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: when they recycle the same guys. Right, well, different space.

1273
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: So here was the statement. Michigan infractioned case is related

1274
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: to impermissible on and off campus recruiting during the COVID

1275
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:10,919
Speaker 1: nineteen dead period, and impermissible coaching activities. Not a cheeseburger,

1276
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: said Derek Crawford, NCAA Vice president of Hearing Operations. It's

1277
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: not uncommon for the COI to see clarification on key

1278
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: facts prior to accepting now the COVID nineteen dead period.

1279
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 1: At this point, I mean, I don't know how much

1280
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: you'd try to go back and legislate. It's sad at

1281
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: this point.

1282
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not about that. It's that Harball lied to them,

1283
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 2: and that's and that's what it's about, and that that's

1284
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 2: really of of and they don't feel that four games

1285
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 2: is sufficient. Six games likely would be enough. But that

1286
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 2: comes back to our point, Mike, of if you're Michigan

1287
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 2: and you could get this out of the way, when

1288
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 2: the the additional two games that you mentioned, and even

1289
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean even if the sky falls in and you know,

1290
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: you drop one of those, you'd miss games at Nebraska

1291
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 2: and at Minnesota, those would be the games that he

1292
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: would we.

1293
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Got up to six. Yeah, it's funny. His attorney, Harbaugh's

1294
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: Tom Mahers, issued this statement pursue it to the NC

1295
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Double a's internal operating procedures and under threat of penalties, Michigan,

1296
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: the involved coaches, and their lawyers are prohibited from uttering

1297
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: a word about this ongoing case. Yet the NC double

1298
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: A can issue a public statement putting its spin on

1299
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: the case. Yeah, the NC double A. They're trying to

1300
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 1: show that they still have clouts. Sure, I mean that's

1301
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: you know, that's the way they're still trying to spin

1302
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: this as best they can. I would agree with his point, like,

1303
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: if that's the rules of engagement legally, then then yes,

1304
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: everybody should be working behind the scenes to to do this.

1305
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: There's no need to go in and clarify or you know,

1306
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: try to even if you're making fun of the way

1307
01:08:55,120 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: it's been characterized as a cheeseburger case, there's no at

1308
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: this point if behind the scenes you're trying to work

1309
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: to a deal amicably.

1310
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 2: Just curious to see on how severe they would want

1311
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 2: to get six games kind of seems to be for

1312
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 2: the for the Level one violation, and it does on

1313
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 2: the surface, it seems like a lot half of the

1314
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 2: regular season essentially, But when you look at you know

1315
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 2: what Michigan has at stake and who is on that

1316
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 2: schedule and the games that you wouldn't want to miss.

1317
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 2: But again, he's gonna be He would be there throughout

1318
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 2: the week anyway. So it's just the game day situation.

1319
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to I'm not trying to downplay that,

1320
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,799
Speaker 2: but it's not like his presence would be absent.

1321
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Fright that he kicked out for a month? Yeah, exactly,

1322
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: so curiosity and obviously will follow the illegal wranglings of

1323
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: this much to the national title implications and obviously the

1324
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: ever expanding Big Ten.

1325
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say that this suspensionly comes down

1326
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 2: is this is making it, I think a bigger deal

1327
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 2: than maybe of what it even is, not like just

1328
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: to now that it just continues to go on and

1329
01:09:59,200 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: now it starts to.

1330
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: He just gets hyped at this point, right, And look,

1331
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: you want college football to be talked about, you don't

1332
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: want college football to be talked about for this, right,

1333
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:12,560
Speaker 1: the two stories that we have about college athletics, specifically

1334
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: college football are not ones that really get people excited, correct, Right,

1335
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: traditionalists are still trying to wring their hands and wrap

1336
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: their arms around hey, we're going to be part of

1337
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: a different conference or where the teams nobody wants at

1338
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: a conference or Florida State. We're trying to get out

1339
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: of a deal that's in place till twenty thirty six,

1340
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: and we don't want you you and you while we

1341
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: have to be here and then you've got this and

1342
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 1: the other side. And Harbaugh's name cuts through a lot

1343
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: of things because we bring those NFL people back in

1344
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: and those considerations of what he's been. So yeah, it's

1345
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: fun times. But if you kick it to a full

1346
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 1: hearing whatever, like when does that go? Does that go

1347
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,879
Speaker 1: after the season? Is that all of a sudden November fifteenth?

1348
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: Not Ah, You've got to appear like there's there's so

1349
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: much the timeline that it looks like the NCAA is

1350
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: trying to play puppet strings with this a little bit

1351
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: to create more angle, trying to push.

1352
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 2: The only thing I would say to that is it

1353
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 2: sounds like Carbot tried to do his own puppet strings

1354
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 2: that got him into this situation.

1355
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Sure, so turn about as fair play, as they say

1356
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: at dan Byron Fox find me over at Swollen Dome.

1357
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Now it's time to turn the attention over to Isaac Lohenkron,

1358
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: who's got an update on the Slippery Steps competition. How

1359
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: did you know that I was going to lead with

1360
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: that because I've known you a long time.

1361
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 5: I mean you remember, you know Fourth of July was

1362
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 5: all about the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest, much to

1363
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 5: my own disappointment. I will start with the NFL preseason,

1364
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 5: but I think we're gonna find some interesting items that

1365
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 5: will draw people's interests. We start with the Baltimore Ravens

1366
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 5: Saturday Night, holding off the Eagles twenty to nineteen for

1367
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 5: their NFL record twenty fourth consecutive preseason victory. The Los

1368
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,839
Speaker 5: Angeles Chargers over the Los Angeles Rams thirty four to seventeen.

1369
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 5: Chargers ran for two hundred and fourteen yards as a team.

1370
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 5: Rams rookie quarterback and according to Twitter, future Nobel Prize

1371
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 5: winner Stetson Bennett completed seventeen of twenty nine for one

1372
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 5: sixty one and a touchdown. Earlier, the Jets wanted Carolina

1373
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 5: twenty seven to nothing. Of course, there was the big

1374
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 5: recent controversy fellas when new Broncos head coach Sean Payton

1375
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 5: ripped former Broncos head coach and new Jets offensive coordinator

1376
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 5: Nathaniel Hacken. Now, the reason I'm bringing this up. This

1377
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 5: past Tuesday, NFL Media's James Palmer tweeted the following, what

1378
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,839
Speaker 5: head coach Sean Payton wants to see during the Broncos

1379

01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 5: uh oh at raj Pac one is the some random

1401
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 5: guy on Twitter is the first person who noticed that

1402
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 5: and could legitimately add legitimate feel to the fire of

1403
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 5: the controversy. Insider, Yes, I guess. Finally, guys, we have

1404

Speaker 5: middle of an intense rally during a second set tiebreaker

1407
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 5: when there was an untimely faux pas by the sound system.

1408

Speaker 5: Listen closely, Cotton Eye Joe just came on this mid rodeo.

1409
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,800

1410
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 5: announcer was, because he instantly identified it as cotton Eyed

1411
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,679

Speaker 2: and I are together in the mornings for a little while.

1532
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 2: So I'm on vacation next week, so there's yes, I

1533
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 2: need something off and I am I Am, I am.

1534
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Draft Part two.

1535
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 2: No, that unfortunately up in last week, and I wasn't

1536
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 2: in a full draft mode either.

1537
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 1: No, I know it takes a while to ramp up.

1538
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: You hear the music. We're playing the feud here. It's

1539
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 2: the first time we've ever extended it into the next

1540
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 2: segment because we have the top ten answers on the board,

1541
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 2: and we got eight of them, and then we just

1542
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: ran out of time. There were three strikes. We didn't

1543
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 2: get the board cleared out, so there are two more answers,

1544
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:11,719
Speaker 2: and we were looking for these top ten answers. And truly,

1545
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,600
Speaker 2: when when we started doing the feud MIC, it was

1546
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 2: based off of the sports question. What were the cities

1547
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 2: in the United States that had the four then four

1548
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 2: major sports teams in them. We're adding the MLS to

1549
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 2: make it five. There are ten markets metropolitan area cities

1550
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 2: where they are home to all five of the major

1551
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:42,959
Speaker 2: sports leagues. We've got eight of them so far Boston, Chicago, Dallas, LA, Miami,

1552
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 2: New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, d C. We were about

1553
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 2: to go to Isaac glohingcron back against the wall. There

1554
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 2: is a pass available if you want. There are two strikes, Isaac,

1555
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 2: it is over to you.

1556
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 5: I'm going to go Minneapolis slash Saint Paul because the

1557
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 5: hockey team's in Saint Paul. Minneapolis, Saint Paul.

1558
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 2: Show me the Twin cities there, It is all right,

1559
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 2: number nine. Was there any any looking up of that

1560
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 2: Isaac Lohan crown in the last eight minutes when we

1561
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 2: were we were away or is this eight minutes or nine?

1562
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,640
Speaker 5: And no, I'm just kidding fortuitously for some reason, I

1563
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,719
Speaker 5: actually am one of the there's actually a major league

1564
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,520
Speaker 5: soccer team I know in Minneapolis.

1565
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Mike Carmen. It comes down to.

1566
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: You can I can I do what we were just

1567
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 1: talking about the fantasy draft when the guy steals your

1568
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 1: pick and then you're left dumbfounded and you can't think

1569
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: of anything else, because I did the whole Minnesota Like,

1570
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, and they're here and there and

1571
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: so like I don't know, I know, and that would

1572
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: be strike three.

1573
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 2: It's been a rocky road, but hopefully there's a little

1574
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 2: nugget there for you to maybe get this this bad boy.

1575
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 2: Any thoughts popping in your Denver? Denver? Oh? Man, that

1576
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 2: was an avalanche of a hint.

1577
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: That was. That was beautiful, rapid, rapid answer, ically done. Yeah,

1578
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: I mean I really did. It fired off so quickly.

1579
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: I man, that was There was no bucket hat or

1580
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: standing around for me there.

1581
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 2: It is. It's a it's an interesting list as well,

1582
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 2: especially when you're thinking of cities and you know a

1583
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 2: couple of the strikes, you're like, all right, I can't

1584
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 2: I forgot that that city didn't have that.

1585
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chris, I kept I kept thinking Bay Area. Then

1586
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,839
Speaker 8: I realized it's that split because like the hot hockey

1587
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 8: team and MLS are down in San Jose. Yeah, and

1588
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 8: I don't know if that Yeah, that probably doesn't count

1589
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 8: unless you're counting the entire I didn't.

1590
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 2: I did not count those two, but I mean I

1591
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 2: guess we could have as well.

1592
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean that that is a thirty mile Yes, they're intended.

1593
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think their name is San Jose. They're

1594
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:57,719
Speaker 5: not the baita it is. Yeah, it's the Quakes.

1595
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so if you if you use that, you

1596
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 2: can give yourself a half point. I got of dig

1597
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 2: that though.

1598
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the good exercise of where where you

1599
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: find your franchises and sustaining five sports as well.

1600
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 2: Atlanta had the Thrashers at one point. I don't think

1601
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 2: this is where I went to a meetia.

1602
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly paying a lot of attention to NHL movement.

1603
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: I do my college football.

1604
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 2: But no, you know that they've got the soccer team

1605
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 2: that they love there, but I don't. They weren't together

1606
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 2: at the same time in that city. But it's just

1607
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 2: that it's a unique it's a unique list of cities,

1608
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 2: a lot more three teamers than you would think. But

1609
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 2: you know, Houston's got four, Chris nos Detroit's got four.

1610
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 2: It's just an interesting list for sure. Phoenix is four.

1611
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 2: They don't have a soccer they don't have an MLS team.

1612
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 2: So there you go.

1613
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: There, there we went through a great exercise reminder pride

1614
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 1: of Detroit at Chris purfet uh soccer knowledge as well

1615
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: as all things for the really other than the Jets,

1616
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: the most type team in the NFL offseason, the Detroit Lions.

1617
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: People excited Jamison Williams obviously starting with a suspension, but

1618
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about him the potential for the

1619
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: spectacular once he returns Jared Goff and company. So check

1620
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 1: him out at Chris Purfett, find Dan at Dan Byron, Fox,

1621
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 1: of course, Ilo at Isaac Loewen Kron, and me over

1622
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: at Swollendome if you want to curse at me for

1623
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 1: something I got wrong, or you know, just the the

1624
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: takes and opinions that are mine and not Fox Sports

1625
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 1: Radios or the management thereof Dan. Something you and I

1626
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: have talked about a lot during our years together is,

1627
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, always trying to figure out that next jump

1628
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: off moment for the NFL schedule. We celebrate it when

1629
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 1: it gets released right that morning you're updating all your

1630
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 1: social media. We add another one because you know the opponents.

1631
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 1: But then it's just a matter of the sequencing prime

1632
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: time events and all of those how many did we get, Oh,

1633
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: they think we're gonna stink, so we only got one,

1634
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 1: and all of those kind of circumstances. But the NBA

1635
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:11,759
Speaker 1: this week, you know, set everybody is at the world

1636
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,799
Speaker 1: a blaze by the leak of the Christmas Day games.

1637
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Sure always excited, and like people start getting very offended.

1638
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 1: Right we're in Los Angeles, so Clipper fans were pretty

1639
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: salty that they weren't included, Like, you can't guarantee me

1640
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 1: that your stars are playing, and obviously injuries are part

1641
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: of it and whatever. But the consideration is what we

1642
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 1: know and what we've seen of the squad. Do we

1643
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: think it's important for Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to

1644
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: get out of court Christmas Day?

1645
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 9: No?

1646
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody just says, okay, we can count

1647
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: that no matter what the circumstances, they're going to try

1648
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 1: to battle to be on the court because the December

1649
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: game to them doesn't matter, it's the are you ready

1650
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: for April? So for the NFL, you know, primetime games

1651
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: are a big deal. Hard knocks and who ended up

1652
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: doing it was a big deal. But trying to find

1653
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: those equivalent to get folks excited outside of the opening

1654
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 1: day and Thanksgiving? Can you find similar?

1655
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 4: No?

1656
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 2: And the funny thing is is TV Networks too, Mike

1657
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 2: will argue over what games that they want in.

1658
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:14,639
Speaker 1: The conected game.

1659
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, the most you know, the it's not that all

1660
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 2: of them go to the prime time slot. On Sunday

1661
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 2: Night football. CBS and Fox want certain matchups for themselves

1662
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 2: as well, monster matchups throughout the season, and the NBA

1663
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 2: has the ability because everybody plays everybody, and everybody plays

1664
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 2: everybody twice at least during an NBA season, So you

1665
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 2: have some flexibility in making your Christmas Day schedule, and

1666
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 2: now with the end season tournament, you even have some

1667
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 2: flexibility in making that schedule out a certain way. So

1668
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 2: when you see the Christmas Day schedule that comes out,

1669
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: what you realize is is it is Mike. There is

1670
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 2: a reason that people get mad because it is a

1671
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 2: ranking of who is important in who is not, who

1672
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 2: is the bigger brands. And I would argue that you've

1673
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 2: got of the ten teams that you've put in this

1674
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 2: Christmas Day schedule, you may have eight of ten, you

1675
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 2: may have nine of ten, you may have ten of

1676
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 2: ten of the most popular teams in the NBA. And

1677
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 2: if you were to do that in the NFL, I

1678
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 2: think you would have an amazing schedule. And we know

1679
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 2: that the NFL has wanted to play games on Christmas Day,

1680
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 2: and in fact has done so in the past and

1681
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 2: has kind of taken over the day from the NBA

1682
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 2: because of the schedule the NFL puts together. But what

1683
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 2: the NFL doesn't have, Mike, is the ability to say,

1684
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 2: we're going to put our two most popular teams and

1685
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 2: have them play because it may not work out in

1686
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 2: the way that the schedule revolves. But I thought, why

1687
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 2: not try to figure out what an NFL Christmas Day

1688
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 2: schedule would look like without the restrictions. And I think

1689
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 2: the way that you do that is you have to

1690
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 2: look and figure out, all, right, who are the eight

1691
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 2: most pot popular teams right now in the National Football League.

1692
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 2: So I would think that the Chiefs would be one,

1693
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 2: right they Super Bowl in the one seed. Absolutely absolutely.

1694
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 2: I'd put the Buffalo Bills in there.

1695
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 1: A lot of hype, a lot of expectation. Sure on

1696
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: the AFC.

1697
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 2: Side, forty nine Ers in Eagles NFC Championship game. Yep,

1698
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,760
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys have to be in that conversation. And

1699
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 2: I'd also put the Cincinnati Bengals.

1700
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 1: Like for Bengals where they're at right now, I take

1701
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 1: their division mate, the Steelers. They always travel well, you

1702
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: always watch Steeler games.

1703
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 2: With the Steelers on there. For sure. I think you

1704
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 2: could put a team like honestly, the Lions. You just

1705
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 2: talked about. There's a lot of buzz about the Lions

1706
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 2: right now. So you're trying to figure out who are

1707
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 2: the top teams? Who do you want to watch Chargers?

1708
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 2: I'd want to watch the Chargers play. Heck, they got

1709
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 2: a lot of love and being flexed last year. I

1710
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 2: felt there was like a four week stretch where they

1711
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 2: were on Sunday Night Football.

1712
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: Every single week saying meaningful games. And let's face it,

1713
01:30:56,479 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: there is and we at the risk of bringing up old,

1714
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,800
Speaker 1: old kind of tropes of things like there are quarterbacks,

1715
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: there are players, there are teams that folks want to

1716
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 1: see see in primetime and see succeed Justin Herbert's a

1717
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 1: guy that you get a lot of coverage for what

1718
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,680
Speaker 1: has been a mediocre team, like he's been fantastic, he

1719
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: got paid this offseason. But when you really break down

1720
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,680
Speaker 1: the team, there's still a lot of finger pointing over

1721
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 1: at Brandon Staley, at least for the moment. How much

1722
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 1: becomes the deification of Kellen Moore. If this offense truly

1723
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: does hit another level remains to be seen.

1724
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 2: Jets, I'm sorry, but you got to put it.

1725
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, for this year, they have to be there.

1726
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 2: All right, So we've kind of got a we've kind

1727
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 2: of got a template.

1728
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's ten.

1729
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 2: So here here's what I would I would put's and

1730
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 2: it may not be all those teams.

1731
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 1: That's eight.

1732
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's but we're understanding. We have an understanding

1733
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,080
Speaker 2: of where we're going with this. The NBA schedule for

1734
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:56,879
Speaker 2: the Christmas Day was Bucks at Nicks, six Ers at Heat,

1735
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 2: Celtics at Lakers. I mean, you can't get any more

1736
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:03,919
Speaker 2: NBA than Celtics at Lakers, Mavericks at Suns, Warriors at Nuggets.

1737
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 2: And while it may not be the rivalry in the NFL,

1738
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 2: I would think that the Celtics Lakers version of what

1739
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 2: we would have in the NFL would be the number

1740
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 2: one team in the AFC, which I think is the

1741
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, and I think it's the most popular

1742
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 2: team in the NFC, and that would be the Dallas Cowboys.

1743
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 2: I think a Chiefs Cowboys game would be perfect for

1744
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 2: a Christmas Day matchup. It's the most I think it

1745
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 2: would be the most popular game in the NFL.

1746
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 1: Puts it to all sorts of height. Yeah, and can

1747
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 1: Dak rise up and all of the expectation and hype there.

1748
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of pressure going on. He

1749
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:44,719
Speaker 1: still hasn't gotten paid. On the other side, Mahomes after

1750
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 1: the Quarterback Show on Netflix, you saw a different side

1751
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: of him. Travis Kelcey. I've about had it with his

1752
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes who he is. But you know that keeps going.

1753
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer and the growth of his

1754
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 1: brand and everything is good. He'd like that he tried

1755
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,679
Speaker 1: to shoot a shot with Taylor Swift in the bracelet,

1756
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 1: which it can Yeah, no, exactly, take advantage of the opportunities.

1757
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, that's a matchup that'll get tongues

1758
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 1: wagon in a lot of eyeballs.

1759
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 2: So again, they don't play each other this year. But

1760
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 2: if that was not a restriction, that would be my

1761
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 2: NFL Christmas Day game, my number two game. It's the

1762
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 2: Chris Berman Super Bowl pick Niners Bills. Now, that would

1763
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 2: be magnificent. I think it's made that pick for like

1764
01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 2: thirty seven straight years did and I'm sure we're probably

1765
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,720
Speaker 2: gonna get it again this year. Niners Bills would be

1766
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 2: on my schedule. Now you're saying, well, what about the

1767
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:38,520
Speaker 2: Eagles they went to the Super Bowl. How about Bengals Eagles.

1768
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 2: How nice would that be? Another cross conference game? We're

1769
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:46,600
Speaker 2: getting some cross conference action here. So that's what I

1770
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 2: put in my top three games. Now we're going to

1771
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 2: kind of get into the the to round out the schedule,

1772
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 2: because like the NBA may maybe Bucks Knicks doesn't do

1773
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 2: it for a lot of people because for me, but

1774
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:00,600
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a bucks Man and New York, but

1775
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 2: maybe people out on the West Coast don't care as much.

1776
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 2: You gotta have Aaron Rodgers in the game. And I thought,

1777
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 2: you know what, maybe maybe a matchup against Tua and

1778
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, like we see that twice a year. Anyway,

1779
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 2: how about Jets Jaguars double j with that offense, the.

1780
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Old guy against yes guy.

1781
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, how fun of a game would that be? And

1782
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:25,959
Speaker 2: and considering I'm looking for fun, let's do Lions Chargers.

1783
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 2: That would be the final That would be final one. Yes,

1784
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 2: I think those would be great. No offense. Steelers. I

1785
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 2: just don't want to I think you're gonna have a

1786
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 2: great season. I just don't want to watch your games.

1787
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:39,759
Speaker 2: But I think that these other games here, Jaguars, Jets, Lions,

1788
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,599
Speaker 2: Chargers would be fun games to watch. How many points

1789
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 2: would be scored in Lions Chargers, you know what I mean? Like,

1790
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 2: how great would that be? You got two teams that

1791
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 2: are hot, expectations, great uniforms for both.

1792
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 1: Gonna be a Brandon Stalley decision in the final two

1793
01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:56,520
Speaker 1: minutes in the game. So what everybody wants.

1794
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 2: When it's forty two, you know the thirty nine. That's

1795
01:34:59,000 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 2: what I dig that.

1796
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 1: And obviously this year you also have the This would

1797
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: be another great wrinkle for the battles for games because

1798
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 1: the rights changed, right, it was always a AFC NFC.

1799
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 1: All right, you're on CBS, you're on Fox, and now

1800
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a potpourrie and a free for all.

1801
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 1: Now you're you're vying for these games in terms of

1802
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 1: what you're protecting and clinging onto and getting the rights to.

1803
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: I love it.

1804
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 2: That's it. It's not gonna happen because the NFL is

1805
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 2: so strict with their scheduling and their policies, and they

1806
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:32,679
Speaker 2: make a boring schedule. Mike and I have talked about

1807
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:34,719
Speaker 2: it one hundred times, how the Giants and Jets should

1808
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 2: play each other every single year, But there are even

1809
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:41,160
Speaker 2: restrictions that would not allow us to see some great games.

1810
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 2: I just think I think Chiefs Cowboys, and we've seen

1811
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 2: a Chiefs Niner Super Bowl, we saw it a few

1812
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 2: years back. We just saw Chiefs Eagles. So to have

1813
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 2: the two best teams, I don't know. Still, the Cowboys

1814
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,559
Speaker 2: brand is so heavy. You know, maybe if Aaron Rodgers

1815
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 2: was back in Green Bay and you know, another Chiefs

1816
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 2: Packers showed out. But I just think that of all

1817
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:02,639
Speaker 2: the games that you could possibly play in the NFL,

1818
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 2: a Chiefs Cowboys game, which by the way, I know

1819
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 2: they played a year or two ago. It didn't It

1820
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 2: wasn't the high scoring affair that we thought it was

1821
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 2: going to be. But like you play in Dallas, on

1822
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 2: that surface, I think we'd have some we'd have some

1823
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 2: explosive offense going on. And if you're a Cowboy hater,

1824
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 2: maybe you'd see the Chiefs, you know, fly pass.

1825
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 1: Well and you start getting a little a little sad

1826
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be uh, Christmas Day on a Tuesday

1827
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,560
Speaker 1: and Wednesday here soon enough. Yes, all right, then we

1828
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 1: got to take it. You gotta cycle that out for

1829
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years until we get back towards the weekend.

1830
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 1: He's Dan buyer, He's an innovator, He's a forward thinker

1831
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 1: and a guy looking to make you a lot of

1832
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:46,559

1846
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: you here. Enjoying a little bit of kickball action. I

1847
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: just saw someone try to bunt in kickball. Unfortunately they

1848
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 1: got under it a little bit, so an easy pop

1849
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 1: out to end the inning. But Dan we've got live action.

1850
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: It's just all action whenever we can get it. Twenty

1851
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:42,679
Speaker 1: four to seven.

1852
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 2: Here, we had horse shoes earlier on in the day.

1853
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,840
Speaker 1: That some slide stare competition.

1854
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 2: I was glad to see horseshoes because cornhole and bags,

1855
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 2: however you want to call it, is you really taken over.

1856
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,599
Speaker 2: But if you play horseshoes, you're an og.

1857
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 1: I just like the fact that most of those guys

1858
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: looked our age, perhaps another decade or two older. Yes,

1859
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: So it's like, all right, competitive sports continues.

1860
01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 2: Where I'm from, there wasn't a tavern that didn't have

1861
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:17,719
Speaker 2: at least, you know, for sure, horse or place. Yeah,

1862
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 2: but you got the wood backing as well. There's a

1863
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 2: little in a little sand to make it worse.

1864
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: Sure, But you know, now we're seeing so many places

1865
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: convert to axe throwing opportunities for folks, which mixed with

1866
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:33,960
Speaker 1: alcohol doesn't seem like a good idea insurance wise. I'd

1867
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 1: love to know the particulars of that. But that's the

1868
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 1: next iteration, not to mention land has become a little harder, right,

1869
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 1: if you've got to add it off to the back

1870
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,800
Speaker 1: of the tavern, which a lot of those places did,

1871
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: you'd have a nice little patio section where you'd have

1872
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 1: that those kind of activities corded off.

1873
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:57,400
Speaker 2: The days of horseshoes in softball, diamonds are being replaced

1874
01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 2: by corn hall and axe throwing, kickball courts and soccer pitches.

1875
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: So we did the report a couple of weeks ago.

1876
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 1: I mean, how much you know the pickeld is going

1877
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 1: to be uh, you know, hitting the insurance companies and

1878
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: injuries and time missed whenever they do those Challenger and

1879
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: Christmas surveys about what fantasy football and betting do. Now

1880
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 1: we're going to start act adding in all the pickleball injuries.

1881
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:26,799
Speaker 2: Nothing like the old clang of the horseshoe though.

1882
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: No, that's it when you when you ringer, yeah, there's yeah,

1883
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: it is about the most unmistakable sound.

1884
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 2: Nothing like it. And of course the pitcher on this

1885
01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 2: softball game which is on ESPN two.

1886
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:40,879
Speaker 1: The hotel yes today, yes.

1887
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 2: Number sixty nine. Of course.

1888
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: He's also a good uh of course, three spins. I

1889
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:52,600
Speaker 1: don't know how he's a left. If you've got to,

1890
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: i'd test him.

1891
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:57,839
Speaker 2: All right, cooking right, kicking a lineup.

1892
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 1: But that was a nice chess pass by the third

1893
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 1: baseman to get the out there is now when talking

1894
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: about kickball.

1895

Speaker 2: The it's kickball, people love it.

1896
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: No exactly. Hey, it's nice and easy. You get a

1911
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:58,160
Speaker 2: guy who just took the first two pitches at the

1912
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,720
Speaker 2: kickball match and was down two in the count. I

1913
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 2: don't know. If you shorten up your kick, that's what

1914
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 2: you do.

1915
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 1: You try to make contact at that point.

1916
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 2: Yes, anyway, all right.

1917
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 1: You're trying to get hit by the ball, like, hey,

1918
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,760
Speaker 1: take one to the team, all right, damn meyern. The

1919
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 1: fantasy draft season is upon us. You last last week,

1920
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:22,720
Speaker 1: you took one for the team. You guys drafted a

1921
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: lot earlier than you wanted to. Yes, And I could

1922
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,960
Speaker 1: see it on your face that it's still problematic. I'm

1923
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: doing all these industry things and then you know, starting

1924
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: to get into the long guillotine league eighteen teams and

1925
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 1: we're in round twelve, So now it's all right, which

1926
01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: guy will actually see the field beyond the third preseason

1927
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: game is some of the guesswork that you start to

1928
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: do at that point. Another long, slow draft going, and

1929
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: that's squat. I'm feeling pretty good about draft staples. For me.

1930
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:58,759
Speaker 1: I seem to have found myself rationalizing Lamar Jackson a bunch.

1931
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 1: I also have your guy DK Metcalf, so he can't

1932
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 1: let me down. But what's interesting in this draft season

1933
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 1: is we still have just a giant question mark at

1934
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:11,600
Speaker 1: the running back position because of all the holdouts, holdings,

1935
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: everything else. And talked about it at the start of

1936
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: the show. I had literally made a pick right before

1937
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 1: we started. It was my turn, and I drafted Melvin Gordon,

1938
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 1: who's in camp with the Ravens and from all accounts

1939
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: looking leaner, meaner, and looking like he's a guy that

1940
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 1: wants some level of a significant workload in that squad.

1941
01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, I'll take a shot. Because

1942
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:34,559
Speaker 1: while they've changed everything with Todd Mounkin and again Lamar

1943
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: Jackson is a guy I think his prime for a

1944
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:41,880
Speaker 1: big year. You're not abandoning your identity altogether, right, still

1945
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: about finding it out. John Harbaugh is still there no

1946
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,840
Speaker 1: matter what you do with your coordinators. He has had

1947
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: a winning brand of football for years. But we talk

1948
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: about Josh Jacobs. Will they go sign Damian Williams Now

1949
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,639
Speaker 1: obviously apples to oranges in terms of where they're at

1950
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 1: on their career timelines and all. But you're starting to

1951
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:07,600
Speaker 1: sign warm bodies to a degree. But also it's insurance

1952
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 1: in the event Josh Jacobs doesn't decide to show up

1953
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 1: to camp. Yes, so we've got Jacobs, You've got Jonathan

1954
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 1: Taylor in his situation. You look at I mean, Austin

1955
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:20,640
Speaker 1: Eckler's in camp, He's gonna play. He's still making his

1956
01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 1: six million dollars, But in terms of his workload, how

1957
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:26,559
Speaker 1: much do you see Kelly or one of these other

1958
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 1: backs take up a little bit of a role. But

1959
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 1: all the holdouts and those situations like Saquon signed his deal,

1960
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 1: we're not worrying about him anymore. So you draft accordingly.

1961
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 1: But with draft season on us, like, there's a bit

1962
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:44,200
Speaker 1: of a risk here in the early rounds with the

1963
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:47,320
Speaker 1: running back position just waiting for it to get settled.

1964
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:49,760
Speaker 1: Rationality would say, these guys eventually come in and get

1965
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:53,680
Speaker 1: their paychecks, but not everything works to rationality.

1966
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook win higher in my draft than I ever

1967
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 2: thought that he would, so.

1968
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 1: He doesn't even going high yet.

1969
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so there's there are a lot of

1970
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 2: a lot of question marks the Josh Jacobs, you know,

1971
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 2: Damian Williams sonning that they had in uh in Las Vegas.

1972
01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 2: I think that puts also a little pressure on Josh

1973
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,040
Speaker 2: Jacobs to be like, Okay, we're gonna just proceed as

1974
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:20,800
Speaker 2: it's going to be life without Josh Jacobs.

1975
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: And so if you get really done more, if they'd said, hey,

1976
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: here's four million dollars to Dalvin Cook.

1977
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:29,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that would have done quite a bit for sure,

1978
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:31,679
Speaker 2: but it does at least try to say like, hey,

1979
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 2: all right, are you gonna come in here or or not?

1980
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 2: What's the deal? I think at the in the end

1981
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna show up, but this could end up pushing

1982
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 2: that forward. I right now, if I have Jonathan Taylor,

1983
01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm I'm worried. I am I am not not cautiously optimistic.

1984
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 2: I am in the worried stage because nothing has gone well,

1985
01:44:57,080 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 2: nothing has gone right in terms of that situation. There

1986
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 2: hasn't been a breakthrough scenario. So if you've got what

1987
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 2: Dean Jackson, you know, there's a lot of handcuffing in

1988
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 2: that scenario. Yeah, I think that's It's that would worry

1989
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 2: me as well. If I'm a Jacobs or tailor holder,

1990
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 2: I'm concerned.

1991
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: Right then, there's one other top ten back. I wanted

1992
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 1: to get to it as we get through this, and

1993
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: you've got Tony Pollard. We talked about the Cowboys a

1994
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:27,839
Speaker 1: little bit. The expectations right still, maybe Kansas City supplanted

1995
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:30,839
Speaker 1: them as fully America's team, as people love Patrick Mahomes

1996
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 1: and doing Kermit the Frog impressions, but the idea that

1997
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:39,679
Speaker 1: Dallas is always a marquee Marquee brand, Dak Prescott still

1998
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 1: looking for his deal. But you've got Ceedee Lamb, You've

1999
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: got these names, and you've got Tony Pollard where there's

2000
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 1: always been a debate of whether he should be a

2001
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 1: bell cow anyway, But now are you going Malik Davis?

2002
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Duce Vaughan gets a lot of run, but

2003
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: that's because of his height. So's he's overachieving, Like he

2004
01:45:58,080 --> 01:45:59,800
Speaker 1: may be doing great things, but it's always going to

2005
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: be because of his stature. It's probably gonna get pushed

2006
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 1: up a bit. But like normally we look at handcuffs

2007
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:09,920
Speaker 1: and you try to look at offenses that are gonna

2008
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:11,799
Speaker 1: be potent and say, all right, I want some shares

2009
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 1: later in a draft. Here, I don't know that there's

2010
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,680
Speaker 1: an obvious handcuff to go to, and they remain a

2011
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: mystery team. Does Ezekiel Elliott eventually sign a deal and

2012
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 1: come home.

2013
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 2: I think so, Like I really think that that is

2014
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 2: a possibility. Heck, Ronald Jones got dinged up, so he's

2015
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:32,680
Speaker 2: not available in Dallas, and it would just be seamless

2016
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:37,400
Speaker 2: if Zeke did return. Despite the change in play calling,

2017
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't think that Pollard is affected you're right, Like,

2018
01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of Deuce Vaughan hype,

2019
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 2: but I don't think that Pollard is affected by it

2020
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:49,240
Speaker 2: in terms of snaps. But your point of the handcuff

2021
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:54,040
Speaker 2: is unique because if Pollard would go down Vaughan not

2022
01:46:54,200 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 2: to the greatness that Tony Pollard has, but would be

2023
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 2: a similar like if Zeke signs, it's I think it's

2024
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 2: gonna be Pollared and Zeke, and you're gonna sprinkle in

2025
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 2: a little du Swan here and there. But if Pollard

2026
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 2: is out, then Vaughn would be the one who would

2027
01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:15,800
Speaker 2: pick up that workload, whereas opposed, if Ezekiel Elliott doesn't sign,

2028
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 2: it's not like Dukewan's getting more snaps because of that,

2029
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,360
Speaker 2: Like he would take up the Pollard roll, and Pollard's

2030
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:25,879
Speaker 2: not gonna take what Zeke would have had anyway. So yeah, interesting.

2031
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:27,840
Speaker 2: You know, if if you have Tony Pollard, maybe maybe

2032
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 2: you do want a handcuff with with du Swan. But yeah,

2033
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's gonna get those Ezekiel Elliott carriers

2034
01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:34,879
Speaker 2: except Ezekiel Elliott.

2035
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2036
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,640
Speaker 1: The running back position, just watching it in drafts has

2037
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:39,400
Speaker 1: been so interesting because.

2038
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 2: The you know.

2039
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 1: We we debated it a few weeks ago. All Right,

2040
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 1: I had the number one pick in a draft. What

2041
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: was I gonna do? Do I go to the wide

2042
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 1: receiver route? Do I take McCaffrey. I decided to hold

2043
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: my nose and click McCaffrey. Four minutes later, I was

2044
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 1: upset about my decision, said, what am I doing? But

2045
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:00,680
Speaker 1: at the running back position, I've seen all per mutations

2046
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,680
Speaker 1: of that top tier. Some folks just looking at Nick

2047
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 1: Chubb and just saying, I know what I'm getting.

2048
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 2: Yep.

2049
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 1: If he's on the field, he's touching the ball twenty

2050
01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 1: to twenty five times. I'll assume Deshaun Watson makes that

2051
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 1: offense at least serviceable, if not better, and then Nick

2052
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: Chubb feasts thereof Okay, I can listen to that. B

2053
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:24,599
Speaker 1: John Robinson, we talked about him a lot. I've seen

2054
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:27,439
Speaker 1: him go number one in a number of drafts, just

2055
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 1: jumping past Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Cooper Cup all these

2056
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: guys and just straight to the head of the line.

2057
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:38,479
Speaker 1: I've seen Austin Eckler, he's hungry, he's well, yeah, but

2058
01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: there's also where's the tipping point? But you're expecting that

2059
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 1: offense to be explosive, and once again he got a

2060
01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: guy catching the ball out of the backfield to the

2061
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:51,559
Speaker 1: tune of one hundred and seven receptions an hour ago.

2062
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:56,720
Speaker 1: That even with Johnston coming in Alan Williams, I mean,

2063
01:48:56,760 --> 01:49:00,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of mouths. Defeed, I'm not banking on

2064
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 1: seventeen games of health from the three receivers, particularly the

2065
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 1: first two. Right the veterans.

2066
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I have Mike Williams that I am already prepared for, right, but.

2067
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:12,040
Speaker 1: For Allen and Williams, you draft them with the expectation

2068
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 1: of I will have them for maybe twelve games if

2069
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm lucky, fourteen, and that's where we're at in that process.

2070
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:22,400
Speaker 1: But Eckler a guy that you argue based on that,

2071
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, workload that he has on a week to

2072
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 1: week basis that he could argue him up number one.

2073
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:30,519
Speaker 1: So it's a bit more jumbled, I think than it

2074
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: has been in a while. That top tier.

2075
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,559
Speaker 2: I think we touched on this last week. But there

2076
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 2: are a couple of couple of spots that I think

2077
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 2: are interesting. Two in the same division. Number one I

2078
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:45,679
Speaker 2: really like because there is there's the top tier gap

2079
01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 2: Mike and then there's the guys that we talk about

2080
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 2: with the question marks of Taylor, of Jacobs, and then

2081
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 2: right under that, you've got Aaron Jones in green Bay,

2082
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 2: Green Bay. Right now, Luke Musgrave is getting rave reviews

2083
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:01,479
Speaker 2: as a tight end. But who's going to be Jordan

2084
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,600
Speaker 2: Love's safety blanket likely will be Aaron Jones, And I

2085
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:10,120
Speaker 2: don't expect aj Dillon's workload to decrease. I like that

2086
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 2: two headed monster in Green Bay when you're talking about

2087
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 2: value in Jones higher than Dylan. But I think that

2088
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 2: there's I think that there's value into those guys, and

2089
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 2: I think that the numbers will be there, and honestly,

2090
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 2: I think that the numbers could be better. I think

2091
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:26,120
Speaker 2: they're going to be relied on more than they were

2092
01:50:26,439 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 2: with Rogers. The other point is in Detroit, there's a

2093
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 2: lot of love for Jamiir Gibbs, ye first round pick.

2094
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:36,760
Speaker 2: But the David Montgomery value, I know, it's something you

2095
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 2: said on the program a week or two ago. I mean,

2096
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,240
Speaker 2: considering how it worked last year with Swift and Williams,

2097
01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 2: you'd have to think that, all right, Montgomery's going to

2098
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 2: be able to maybe get a a little bit more

2099
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 2: than people expect he's a top thirty right now, gives

2100
01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 2: in the top fifteen.

2101
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: So Montgomery right now on average going as the back

2102
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 1: end RB to early RB three. AJ Dillon's being drafted

2103
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 1: as a back end three. Yeah, so potential for tremendous

2104
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:09,840
Speaker 1: value there, because you've got a lot of other question

2105
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 1: marks along the way. I mean, you got guys drafting

2106
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:15,719
Speaker 1: Bryse Hall as a back end one, high end two.

2107
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: Is he even gonna be ready? And are they going

2108
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:20,880
Speaker 1: to give him a huge workload out of the gate? Right?

2109
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 1: And some of it is best ball scenario versus once

2110
01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 1: we start parsing it out week to week, but certainly

2111
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 1: becomes a very curious proposition running back. Yeah, the zero

2112
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:38,479
Speaker 1: running back to me is kind of dead. I'm not

2113
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 1: waiting on guys, but I recognize those that just say,

2114
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:45,799
Speaker 1: give me three or four receivers in my PPR leagues

2115
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:48,240
Speaker 1: and I'll come in to cobble together a running back

2116
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 1: stable later.

2117
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,680
Speaker 2: And Nick Sirianni threw quite the wrench and last night

2118
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:55,280
Speaker 2: for the Eagles in their backfield, Kenneth Gainwelt didn't play well,

2119
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:58,120
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift and Rashade Penny did So now you're wondering

2120
01:51:58,200 --> 01:51:59,600
Speaker 2: what's the pecking order in Philadelphia?

2121
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, gain, well, fantastic run. Maybe they'll trade him to Indianapolis.

2122
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's standfire. I'm by carbon here, Fox

2123
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 1: Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio. Hey, I just want guys

2124
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 1: to get their touches and if it's too crowded there,

2125
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,680
Speaker 1: go somewhere and be free, my man. Actually, no, with

2126
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:18,800
Speaker 1: the number of guys that get hurt, you need to

2127
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,680
Speaker 1: have three or four capable backs on your roster, no question. Hey,

2128
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 1: let's turn it over now to Isaac lowen Kron get

2129
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 1: an update on this kickball game and so much more.

2130
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: In our Sporting.

2131
01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 5: Universe memories of elementary school, we played kickball with an

2132
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:41,840
Speaker 5: all bright orange ball. As I recall, that's the burning Sun.

2133
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:45,400
Speaker 5: I like it exactly like the old MISL, which was

Speaker 5: Apparently there was sort of alternative.

2164
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:32,000

Speaker 1: Byer with you live from the tire Ac dot Com studios.

2193
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: I'll say this, we did get a visual, you know,

2194
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,360
Speaker 1: we'd paying attention to. We've got some golf on, some

2195
01:56:05,520 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 1: NFL preseason action rewatch of the Cowboys and Jaguars game,

2196
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 1: and then we got this kickball competition. There was just

2197
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:15,760
Speaker 1: someone in the stands wearing a Washington Bullets jersey. I've

2198
01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:17,480
Speaker 1: not seen one of those in a while, so that's

2199
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I love the throwbacks.

2200
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:26,040
Speaker 2: I know, I know, and I I just you know,

2201
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:31,960
Speaker 2: of the name changes. I just I just I don't know.

2202
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:37,760
Speaker 2: I felt bullets was I didn't think of actual bullets

2203
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:38,320
Speaker 2: see neither.

2204
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Chris brings up bullet train, but yeah, I

2205
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:45,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I just always thought about it as speed

2206
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 1: and whatever. I don't know. Yes, all right, Chris, what

2207
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 1: do you got?

2208
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:51,240
Speaker 4: So?

2209
01:56:51,480 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 8: I wanted your guys opinion on this speaking of throwbacks,

2210
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:57,440
Speaker 8: because I did see I think it was like last month,

2211
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:02,280
Speaker 8: the Tennessee Titans are going to unveil Houston Oilers throwbacks,

2212
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 8: and I just I have conflicts in my mind. I

2213
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:10,760
Speaker 8: know they own the history to the Oilers, but it's

2214
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,600
Speaker 8: not their city and the people who have the memories

2215
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 8: the Oilers are in Houston, and this is always something

2216
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 8: that struck me as very weird. I was curious what

2217
01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 8: you guys thought of those on that.

2218
01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:24,480
Speaker 2: I agree one thousand percent. Now, there some may point

2219
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 2: out that when the Oilers did move, that did wear

2220
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 2: those same uniforms in Memphis and in Nashville before the

2221
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:35,720
Speaker 2: actual team name did change. But to say that the

2222
01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 2: the you know, eight games they played in Memphis and

2223
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 2: then the eight games they played at Vanderbilt Stadium, which

2224
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:42,840
Speaker 2: I think I've told you, Mike. I was in attendance

2225
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 2: for an Oilers game at Vanderbilt Stadium in the late

2226
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:51,080
Speaker 2: nineties that's sweet. Yes it was. It was crazy you

2227
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 2: still had the ticket stub. I actually what I ticket

2228
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 2: was up got dumped at some point. I'm still a

2229
01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:00,240
Speaker 2: little bit bitter about it. And sometimes those Ticketmaster the

2230
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:03,080
Speaker 2: ink fades on it, and so that may it makes

2231
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:05,760
Speaker 2: it even cool. That may have been the one. But

2232
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:09,880
Speaker 2: to Chris's point, I agree with that that was actually

2233
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 2: one of the great things about when the Hornets moved.

2234
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:18,360
Speaker 2: When the Hornets moved to New Orleans and then Charlotte

2235
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:20,960
Speaker 2: got the team, they became the Bobcats, and then Jordan

2236
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:22,320
Speaker 2: took over and was like, all right, we want the

2237
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 2: Hornets name back in the history, and they got it back.

2238
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 2: So then the New Orleans became the Pelicans and they

2239
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:31,800
Speaker 2: started like they started fresh. Like I wish the same

2240
01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:36,400
Speaker 2: could have been done for Nashville and that franchise, and

2241
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 2: then the Texans would have been able to have the

2242
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:39,360
Speaker 2: Oiler's history.

2243
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, like the Browns got their old history back. I

2244
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:44,160
Speaker 8: should know this from immaculate Grid. It's not like the

2245
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 8: Raven's history. They can't just do a Brown's throwback. No,

2246
01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 8: and like but and they're like, yeah, they played some

2247
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:50,360
Speaker 8: games going up there, but love you Blue.

2248
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 2: That's Houston. Yes, and when it was when when the

2249
01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 2: Ravens came, they were put in as a new franchise,

2250
01:58:57,720 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 2: even though they moved, but they were technically, as you said,

2251
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:03,919
Speaker 2: started from day one. That was their first days of franchise.

2252
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,160
Speaker 2: It's not like they have the old Colts stuff. You know.

2253
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 1: You know what, that was far more and far better

2254
01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:13,480
Speaker 1: orchestrated than the actual move undercover night Mayflower trucks maybe

2255
01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 1: Mayflower trucks in the middle of the night, versus hey,

2256
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: we've already taken care of all of our trademarks. Something

2257
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:21,480
Speaker 1: that the commanders could have used or whatever we're gonna

2258
01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: call them in the future that maybe they should have

2259
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 1: gone down the process of trying to register all these trademarks.

2260
01:59:26,840 --> 01:59:28,720
Speaker 2: I think the Timberwolves should be able to wear the

2261
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:33,760
Speaker 2: Minneapolis Lakers stuff. I don't think the Los Angeles Lakers.

2262
01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 1: The North Stars for hockey, so sure, yeah, I mean,

2263
01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: like all of those legacy players. Look, if we're going

2264
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 1: to do that and celebrate those, let's actually do it

2265
01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: in the cities where it makes sense. He's dan Byer.

2266
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:49,120
Speaker 1: I'll buy Carmen. There's a little trip down the nostalgia

2267
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:52,879
Speaker 1: and bridging through all sparked by someone wearing a Washington

2268
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 1: Bullets jersey. And now I'm thinking of all the legends

2269
01:59:56,680 --> 02:00:03,680
Speaker 1: that play there. I'm gonna get Google, Outeff Malone. Nicely done. Yeah,

2270
02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 1: you got Jeff Malone, and I can't stop that. Dan

Speaker 1: Swollen Dome on Twitter. So much action. We're watching all

2287
02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:57,240
Speaker 1: of these preseason games. We've got a couple more later

2288
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 1: on today, Chief Saints getting a little bit of as

2289
02:01:01,200 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 1: we get into this next hour, Dan as well as

2290
02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:05,480
Speaker 1: all the other.

2291
02:01:05,400 --> 02:01:08,879
Speaker 2: Chaos, Niners Raiders cause.

2292
02:01:08,680 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: I sporting event Niners Raiders had a very spirited joint

2293
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:14,680
Speaker 1: practice the other day. And it's so it's something that

2294
02:01:14,720 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 1: you and I were talking about a little bit. We

2295
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:19,240
Speaker 1: referenced it earlier. We'll get to college football in a minute,

2296
02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:22,600
Speaker 1: but just the idea of preseason games and the more

2297
02:01:22,720 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 1: joint practices, and really, when you're trying to accomplish something, right,

2298
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,200
Speaker 1: all right, we want to work on these drills, we

2299
02:01:31,240 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 1: want to work on these situations. How much more of

2300
02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:39,520
Speaker 1: that is a help than preseason games? Now? For preseason

2301
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:42,320
Speaker 1: this year, I think we've just got a unique circumstance.

2302
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:46,520
Speaker 1: Half the league change their offensive coordinators. Yeah, right, full

2303
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:50,960
Speaker 1: sixteen teams, So maybe you need some live action in

2304
02:01:51,400 --> 02:01:54,720
Speaker 1: game situation, But it seems like also you can simulate

2305
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 1: that well enough in practices.

2306
02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could get a little taste of stuff in

2307
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:01,720
Speaker 2: a in a week one game and then in a

2308
02:02:01,720 --> 02:02:05,680
Speaker 2: week two. But the shortening of the preseason didn't take

2309
02:02:05,720 --> 02:02:07,520
Speaker 2: away from the fact that teams just aren't going to

2310
02:02:07,560 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 2: play their starters in Week three for sure, like they're

2311
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:13,440
Speaker 2: they're holding out, even though it is a good full

2312
02:02:13,960 --> 02:02:16,560
Speaker 2: week and a half, two weeks before the actual season

2313
02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:20,760
Speaker 2: starts for these for these teams, after that Week three

2314
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 2: preseason game, Yeah, I just wonder, Mike, like, even watching

2315
02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 2: like this full slate of games, looking back on it,

2316
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 2: I can't believe that we sat through four preseason games.

2317
02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:34,960
Speaker 2: Like HiT's crazy. I don't I don't remember the I

2318
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:37,800
Speaker 2: don't remember those days, but I remember the the the

2319
02:02:37,960 --> 02:02:40,240
Speaker 2: four days because it was four games, because it was

2320
02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:44,960
Speaker 2: pretty recent and it was it it was a long time.

2321
02:02:45,040 --> 02:02:47,280
Speaker 2: You were almost kind of ramping up to that third

2322
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:50,520
Speaker 2: game when starters would would play about the first half.

2323
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:52,520
Speaker 2: But even of just this week, I got to the

2324
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 2: point of, you know what, I think two games would

2325
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:57,480
Speaker 2: be great. And we know the reason why they play

2326
02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:00,920
Speaker 2: three preseason games is because they want twenty games on

2327
02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:03,520
Speaker 2: the schedule where they can open those doors to the stadiums.

2328
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 2: And if it's gonna be seventeen and three, then that's

2329
02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 2: what it's gonna be. But now, Mike, for to add

2330
02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:14,680
Speaker 2: an extra game, which I know would be a lot.

2331
02:03:14,720 --> 02:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I think the addition of the seventeenth game has made

2332
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:20,000
Speaker 2: this season even longer. So now I have the super

2333
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Bowl go to mid February, does just make it a

2334
02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 2: longer season. And if you added another preseason game, they're

2335
02:03:28,200 --> 02:03:30,640
Speaker 2: not gonna do it. They're not gonna play on Labor Day.

2336
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 2: They've moved away from doing that, So then you'd put

2337
02:03:33,160 --> 02:03:37,000
Speaker 2: it on President's Day weekend usually of where that falls

2338
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:40,520
Speaker 2: on the calendar, and it would just be a long

2339
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:42,480
Speaker 2: NFL season. But I almost think that we're there. I

2340
02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:45,560
Speaker 2: almost think that we're at to the eighteen game schedule

2341
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 2: because I've about had enough of preseason and we're not

2342
02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:51,840
Speaker 2: even through the Week one yet. And not usually a

2343
02:03:51,880 --> 02:03:55,200
Speaker 2: guy doesn't mind the preseason, but for some reason this

2344
02:03:55,240 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 2: time around, I'm like, all right, these guys could probably

2345
02:03:57,840 --> 02:04:00,360
Speaker 2: use another game for about who we're gonna see, and

2346
02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 2: we should be pretty good. I know that maybe the Panthers, Colts,

2347
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 2: and Texans would like a little bit more time, you know,

2348
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:08,080
Speaker 2: with their guys, But for the rest of the of

2349
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 2: the league and the teams, I think those joint practices

2350
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:13,560
Speaker 2: basically do what they want to and accomplish.

2351
02:04:13,720 --> 02:04:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think when we look at it, I mean

2352
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 1: the eighteenth game. As we know from the CBA, that

2353
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 1: could be triggered at any point. The owners have the

2354
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 1: right to do that, and there's just so much money

2355
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:26,920
Speaker 1: at stage and there always has been, right, So I

2356
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:29,840
Speaker 1: want to just you know, say that categorically it's always

2357
02:04:29,840 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: been a lot of money. Now it's just a little

2358
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:35,000
Speaker 1: bit more, right, But we talk about it from the

2359
02:04:35,040 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 1: college angle of all these you know, giant contracts, who

2360
02:04:38,760 --> 02:04:43,240
Speaker 1: agrees who fights and which commissioner slash presidents get things

2361
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 1: screwed up. I mean from the NFL, it's now just

2362
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 1: a question. I think it's inevitability that the eighteenth game

2363
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:53,440
Speaker 1: comes and then you make some sort of considerations in

2364
02:04:54,120 --> 02:04:58,360
Speaker 1: probably the next CBA is when this really would likely happen,

2365
02:04:58,680 --> 02:05:01,040
Speaker 1: where you start talking about roster and maybe you add

2366
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:05,280
Speaker 1: a couple of jobs per team because of attrition and

2367
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:09,200
Speaker 1: knowing that the eighteenth game probably creates a lot more

2368
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: turnover on rosters. But it's certainly for the preseason. It

2369
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:18,280
Speaker 1: was interesting to watch Richardson play, fun to watch you

2370
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:20,720
Speaker 1: know Stroud, Bryce Young and get their reps. Okay, not

2371
02:05:20,800 --> 02:05:23,919
Speaker 1: so much fun for CJ. Stroud because right now everybody's

2372
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:26,200
Speaker 1: now thrown him to the bottom of the trash heap

2373
02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 1: off of a very limited.

2374
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah twenty one or whatever it is, and he throws

2375
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 2: in an interception and yeah, it wasn't a good interception.

2376
02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:37,200
Speaker 1: It was a terrible throw. But I mean everybody's made

2377
02:05:37,240 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: that throw like you got you gotta have that. Welcome

2378
02:05:39,560 --> 02:05:41,640
Speaker 1: to the NFL moment. There it is in week one

2379
02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:43,960
Speaker 1: of the preseason. Yes, you're right, get it out of

2380
02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:46,080
Speaker 1: your system. I forget who I heard say it. You

2381
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:49,480
Speaker 1: know X NFL player somewhere somehow, I don't know. It

2382
02:05:49,520 --> 02:05:52,920
Speaker 1: all blends together as you're driving around to and from

2383
02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:55,880
Speaker 1: soccer tournaments and stuff after sitting in the sun because

2384
02:05:55,880 --> 02:06:00,920
Speaker 1: you see, I'm thermometer head part two of the summer today. Yeah,

2385
02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I gotta get some more effective sunscreen when I'm out there.

2386
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:07,960
Speaker 1: But the idea just being that you wouldn't you rather

2387
02:06:08,040 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 1: have people taking their chances throwing new wrinkles into the offense.

2388
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 1: And if you're a young quarterback, you're taking chances to

2389
02:06:15,320 --> 02:06:19,240
Speaker 1: see and test that speed difference from college to the

2390
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:23,360
Speaker 1: proses testing all right, what is my receiver willing to

2391
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:26,240
Speaker 1: do on this route? Yes, can they make a play

2392
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:28,240
Speaker 1: for me? All the other things wouldn't you rather have

2393
02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:31,000
Speaker 1: that week one of the preseason than week one of

2394
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:33,920
Speaker 1: the regular season and then realize, Okay, all of those

2395
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 1: throws are now off the table because they can't make it,

2396
02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: and we can't make this part of our offense work.

2397
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:41,160
Speaker 2: I feel this is a Sunday sermon that you're giving

2398
02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 2: right now. All of it is true. This is the

2399
02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:46,800
Speaker 2: opportunity to make mistakes. And how many guys just come

2400
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:50,320
Speaker 2: in and it's as simple as can be, you know,

2401
02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 2: like it's just it does doesn't happen.

2402
02:06:52,520 --> 02:06:55,160
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, like even rookie seasons, right, we seem

2403
02:06:55,200 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 1: to conveniently forget how terrible Peyton Manning was in large

2404
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:00,440
Speaker 1: stretches of his first season.

2405
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pete, Yeah, And that's the thing that Peyton Manning

2406
02:07:02,960 --> 02:07:05,880
Speaker 2: threw for twenty six touchdowns that year, and you know,

2407
02:07:06,080 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 2: I thirty eight hundred yards something that could be off

2408
02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:11,960
Speaker 2: by a little, but there was the twenty eight interceptions.

2409
02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 2: You know that That's what it is. It's it's it's different,

2410
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:17,480
Speaker 2: like and that's but that's it. That's the other different thing,

2411
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:19,520
Speaker 2: Mike if and I know Zach Wilson wasn't a rookie

2412
02:07:19,600 --> 02:07:22,440
Speaker 2: last year, but like Zach Wilson at times looked like

2413
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:23,560
Speaker 2: he couldn't complete a pass.

2414
02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he had the chuck knoblock yips is what

2415
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:27,880
Speaker 1: it started to beat.

2416
02:07:28,440 --> 02:07:29,840
Speaker 2: It's just like, I don't know if we're going to

2417
02:07:29,880 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 2: get this thing downfield. And that's you know, it's the

2418
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:37,200
Speaker 2: it's the opposite of Jameis Winston, who again, I know

2419
02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:39,800
Speaker 2: he wasn't a rookie in the in the thirty thirty

2420
02:07:39,880 --> 02:07:42,360
Speaker 2: year that he had, but he still was able to

2421
02:07:42,440 --> 02:07:48,400
Speaker 2: throw thirty three touchdowns at the thirty interceptions. It's there

2422
02:07:48,440 --> 02:07:50,320
Speaker 2: are guys that you know, all of a sudden that

2423
02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 2: you're just wondering, all right, can this football even go downfield.

2424
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:56,480
Speaker 2: That's when you start scratching your head and being like,

2425
02:07:56,520 --> 02:07:58,520
Speaker 2: all right, I don't think this this guy is going

2426
02:07:58,560 --> 02:08:01,000
Speaker 2: to well Jackson going to get it.

2427
02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:05,080
Speaker 1: Go back to Sam Darnold seeing ghosts, yeah right, And

2428
02:08:05,160 --> 02:08:07,160
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden, you're not making a throw

2429
02:08:07,200 --> 02:08:11,120
Speaker 1: because you're seeing defenders into a box like you can

2430
02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:14,920
Speaker 1: whatever trigger it in your head. So yeah, I mean

2431
02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:18,360
Speaker 1: jet sho. But the for Zach Wilson, I mean it

2432
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:21,680
Speaker 1: was a very big deal. And now whatever Rogers is doing,

2433
02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:24,240
Speaker 1: at least you saw him on Cork that fifty seven

2434
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 1: yard pass that maybe some of those mental blocks are gone.

2435
02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:32,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's the growing pains of the position

2436
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:36,280
Speaker 1: that we give guys such a short leash anymore to

2437
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:41,120
Speaker 1: make a mistake, right the you know, over over use

2438
02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:45,680
Speaker 1: of quarterback rating and touchdown to interception ratio as barometers

2439
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 1: of how well someone plays.

2440
02:08:47,200 --> 02:08:50,000
Speaker 2: Yes, well, you know, you're we're also in the dnage

2441
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:52,240
Speaker 2: where people want to be the first with everything. Sure,

2442
02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:55,440
Speaker 2: and so as soon as CJ. Stroud throws an interception

2443
02:08:55,560 --> 02:08:57,400
Speaker 2: on the first game of the first week of the

2444
02:08:57,440 --> 02:09:00,880
Speaker 2: preseason outside of the Hall of Fame game, it's easy

2445
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:04,480
Speaker 2: to make that declaration. You know, there's there's stuff that's

2446
02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:07,120
Speaker 2: going for c J. Stroud, there's stuff that's going against him.

2447
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:09,440
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the other rookie quarterbacks. Their

2448
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:13,360
Speaker 2: head coaches are offensive minded guys, Shane Stikeen and Frank

2449
02:09:13,400 --> 02:09:18,280
Speaker 2: Reich in Carolina and Indianapolis, and c J. Stroud's got

2450
02:09:18,280 --> 02:09:21,400
Speaker 2: a defensive minded head coach, and you know, Demiko Ryans

2451
02:09:21,680 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 2: and in his first year, and Frank Reich's obviously a

2452
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:27,880
Speaker 2: veteran head coach. Shane Steikin's got his first year job

2453
02:09:27,960 --> 02:09:30,000
Speaker 2: so maybe Bryce Young scheduled a little advantage over the

2454
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 2: other guys because there's a lot that we could sit

2455
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 2: there and pick through. It felt like CJ. Stroud's interception

2456
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:39,800
Speaker 2: was different than Anthony Richardson's interception. And that's the part

2457
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 2: that I that I don't get. Mike was prime time, Yeah,

2458
02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:45,680
Speaker 2: that's everybody was watching.

2459
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:49,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday was Saturday. Everybody's out and about moving, and it

2460
02:09:49,720 --> 02:09:53,680
Speaker 1: was just a blim on in your Twitter verse or

2461
02:09:53,720 --> 02:09:54,440
Speaker 1: wherever you found.

2462
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 2: And that's not meant to say that Anthony Richardson should

2463
02:09:57,080 --> 02:09:59,200
Speaker 2: have gotten criticism. It's to say that maybe c J.

2464
02:09:59,360 --> 02:10:02,560
Speaker 2: Stroud didn't have gotten as harsh of a criticism because

2465
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:05,480
Speaker 2: by all accounts, and I did not see the rest

2466
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 2: of richardson snaps on Saturday, but by the accounts he

2467
02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:11,320
Speaker 2: fared pretty decently. Well.

2468
02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah the stretch, Yeah he got comfortable. But sometimes you

2469
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:17,360
Speaker 1: need to get like they always say, right everybody, what

2470
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:20,240
Speaker 1: was in the Mike Tyson. Everybody's got a great plan

2471
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:22,760
Speaker 1: until you get punched in the mouth. Yes, Likewise in

2472
02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:26,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, until you take that first hit, everything's happy,

2473
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:31,120
Speaker 1: everything's good, and then you're hyper focused and ready to roll. Thereafter,

2474
02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:33,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to it for a minute, because

2475
02:10:33,440 --> 02:10:35,840
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a long couple of weeks

2476
02:10:35,880 --> 02:10:41,400
Speaker 1: of it with college football and the reorganization of conferences

2477
02:10:41,400 --> 02:10:44,040
Speaker 1: at all. I like the Chip Kelly suggestion, but then

2478
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:47,760
Speaker 1: nobody's ever going to enact that football teams are all

2479
02:10:47,800 --> 02:10:51,760
Speaker 1: independent and you're in conferences and the NCAA and whatever

2480
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:55,520
Speaker 1: ruling body governs everything else. All right, you know, that's

2481
02:10:55,600 --> 02:10:57,640
Speaker 1: that's nice in theory, it's never gonna happen. But we

2482
02:10:57,680 --> 02:11:01,080
Speaker 1: had the report that the ACC old Stanford and Coal

2483
02:11:01,200 --> 02:11:04,880
Speaker 1: to beat it, and you had several schools, including Florida State,

2484
02:11:04,880 --> 02:11:08,280
Speaker 1: who's always already trying to exit the ACC themselves, but

2485
02:11:08,280 --> 02:11:11,960
Speaker 1: then realize they're locked in until twenty thirty six unless

2486
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:16,720
Speaker 1: something gets blown up there. Look for the non revenue sports.

2487
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 1: We recognize some of those schedule logistics, and you and

2488
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:21,480
Speaker 1: I went through it quite a bit a couple of

2489
02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:24,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago of what teams already do to make this

2490
02:11:25,040 --> 02:11:30,000
Speaker 1: stuff work, like long road trips, school and study hall

2491
02:11:30,080 --> 02:11:32,560
Speaker 1: and all that on the road. Like it's been done,

2492
02:11:32,680 --> 02:11:36,080
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing real new, really new to this. Maybe

2493
02:11:36,120 --> 02:11:40,360
Speaker 1: just you add another state to your United States passport,

2494
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:43,520
Speaker 1: like you would have stamp if you were traveling abroad.

2495
02:11:43,760 --> 02:11:46,920
Speaker 1: But when it gets down to it, right, unless the

2496
02:11:47,360 --> 02:11:51,640
Speaker 1: dollars are are going to be augmented and you're not

2497
02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:54,920
Speaker 1: taking away from my pile, it doesn't make sense.

2498
02:11:55,360 --> 02:11:59,320
Speaker 2: Well, what doesn't make sense at all with the ACC

2499
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:04,400
Speaker 2: as nine the geography, but the economics. And what I

2500
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:08,760
Speaker 2: mean by the economics is the well the ACC. I

2501
02:12:08,800 --> 02:12:11,959
Speaker 2: wouldn't say beat it because eleven of the fifteen schools

2502
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:15,960
Speaker 2: were ready to welcome Callen Stanford. The problem is it's

2503
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:17,680
Speaker 2: the four schools that didn't.

2504
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Well ready enough, right, because the reports were that there

2505
02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:23,560
Speaker 1: were a couple of schools that were just kind of like, Okay,

2506
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:24,680
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Sure?

2507
02:12:25,240 --> 02:12:28,800
Speaker 2: And the four schools that voted against it were Florida State, Clemson,

2508
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 2: North Carolina, and North Carolina State. And Florida State we

2509
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:37,000
Speaker 2: know about their angst towards the ACC right now in

2510
02:12:37,040 --> 02:12:41,520
Speaker 2: the amount that they get. Clemson has similar feelings. I

2511
02:12:41,520 --> 02:12:45,280
Speaker 2: think North Carolina, of every team in the ACC, is

2512
02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:48,480
Speaker 2: the apple of the eye of the SEC and the

2513
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:51,240
Speaker 2: Big Ten. There's going to be a I think that

2514
02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:54,000
Speaker 2: the Big Ten would be fine if the ACC got

2515
02:12:54,400 --> 02:12:56,400
Speaker 2: Florida State. I think the Big Ten would be fine

2516
02:12:56,400 --> 02:12:58,960
Speaker 2: if the ACC got Clemson. I do not think the

2517
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:01,480
Speaker 2: Big Ten would be fine if the SEC got Notre

2518
02:13:01,560 --> 02:13:03,839
Speaker 2: Dame or excuse me, North Carolina.

2519
02:13:04,520 --> 02:13:07,120
Speaker 1: No, I get what you're saying, right, SEC can pick

2520
02:13:07,200 --> 02:13:09,360
Speaker 1: up everybody else but Carolina.

2521
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:12,520
Speaker 2: A lot of value there, Yes, and there's a lot

2522
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:14,760
Speaker 2: of value with that school and even the program. And

2523
02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:18,720
Speaker 2: then it's ties NC State, Virginia and Virginia Tech I

2524
02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 2: think have value as well. But the point is, Callan

2525
02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:25,240
Speaker 2: Stanford aren't going to the ACC because those four schools

2526
02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 2: voted against it. It's also those schools saying, my goodness,

2527
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:32,920
Speaker 2: take care of us. You know, we're not We're not

2528
02:13:32,960 --> 02:13:36,960
Speaker 2: worried about the ACC surviving. We're worried about us surviving.

2529
02:13:37,400 --> 02:13:40,080
Speaker 2: So your goals of adding Callen Stanford are trying to

2530
02:13:40,200 --> 02:13:44,360
Speaker 2: save what is left of or what is the ACC

2531
02:13:44,640 --> 02:13:46,880
Speaker 2: to try to stave off the Big ten or SEC

2532
02:13:47,080 --> 02:13:49,560
Speaker 2: from poaching any of those schools. And I think what

2533
02:13:49,640 --> 02:13:54,200
Speaker 2: Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson are all saying is maybe

2534
02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:57,240
Speaker 2: maybe care about us, you know, figure out a way

2535
02:13:57,240 --> 02:14:00,280
Speaker 2: where we are happy within this league, and then maybe

2536
02:14:00,320 --> 02:14:02,600
Speaker 2: your league will survive because we won't be going to

2537
02:14:02,640 --> 02:14:05,320
Speaker 2: the other leagues. I it's no surprise that those were

2538
02:14:05,320 --> 02:14:10,200
Speaker 2: the four schools that we were voting against it, because

2539
02:14:10,200 --> 02:14:11,960
Speaker 2: I think they're the ones that are getting screwed the

2540
02:14:11,960 --> 02:14:16,200
Speaker 2: most in the ACC And I just get it. It

2541
02:14:16,240 --> 02:14:18,840
Speaker 2: was a nice thought. But you use the term leftovers

2542
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:21,360
Speaker 2: as well. That's what they are. They're they're the ninth

2543
02:14:21,400 --> 02:14:23,680
Speaker 2: and tenth options right now.

2544
02:14:23,720 --> 02:14:24,600
Speaker 1: Well, but that's it, right?

2545
02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:25,600
Speaker 2: Is that valuable?

2546
02:14:25,640 --> 02:14:27,720
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of value unless you want to say, well,

2547
02:14:27,760 --> 02:14:31,480
Speaker 1: we add a couple of academic schools. But to the

2548
02:14:31,480 --> 02:14:34,960
Speaker 1: bottom line of any deal that's already in place, you

2549
02:14:35,040 --> 02:14:37,800
Speaker 1: either have to have the networks that you're working with

2550
02:14:38,040 --> 02:14:41,480
Speaker 1: rip up the deal and create a new one, or

2551
02:14:41,520 --> 02:14:44,200
Speaker 1: you have to give up some of your money. Who

2552
02:14:44,280 --> 02:14:46,200
Speaker 1: wants to give up any of their money? Right? They

2553
02:14:46,240 --> 02:14:48,480
Speaker 1: already think they got a bad deal. Right in the

2554
02:14:48,480 --> 02:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Big ten, they were able to go back to Fox

2555
02:14:50,840 --> 02:14:53,160
Speaker 1: and basically say, hey, we need a bigger check, so

2556
02:14:53,240 --> 02:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Oregon get in, Washington can come in, and they said, Okay,

2557
02:14:56,600 --> 02:15:00,320
Speaker 1: that's worth it, sir, yep. Right, they have the brand

2558
02:15:00,600 --> 02:15:06,360
Speaker 1: cachet and brand value. These others great schools, great institutions.

2559
02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:09,840
Speaker 1: They're not moving the needle economically, to where we need

2560
02:15:09,880 --> 02:15:14,240
Speaker 1: it to. So for these four schools, given their success,

2561
02:15:14,880 --> 02:15:18,040
Speaker 1: given their histories, anything else, if they're not satisfied with

2562
02:15:18,080 --> 02:15:20,320
Speaker 1: their deal, should is hell not giving away a penny

2563
02:15:20,560 --> 02:15:23,040
Speaker 1: yes to somebody else coming in if you're not a

2564
02:15:23,120 --> 02:15:26,680
Speaker 1: value add to where we can go back. Because again,

2565
02:15:27,000 --> 02:15:29,200
Speaker 1: you got to be a dope to sign a rights

2566
02:15:29,240 --> 02:15:32,680
Speaker 1: deal for fifteen years. Right, that's a whole other problem

2567
02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:36,560
Speaker 1: with your commissioner and your university presidents. It's the old

2568
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:41,320
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen Bulls thing. It's like, you want the longevity,

2569
02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:43,800
Speaker 1: you're doing your trade off, right, We'll give you the

2570
02:15:43,800 --> 02:15:48,120
Speaker 1: longevity and that long time commitment. However, when you want

2571
02:15:48,120 --> 02:15:49,600
Speaker 1: to come back to the table and say I need

2572
02:15:49,640 --> 02:15:51,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more, it's like, well, we gave you

2573
02:15:51,760 --> 02:15:52,400
Speaker 1: seven years.

2574
02:15:52,440 --> 02:15:55,480
Speaker 2: I mean we invested in you. Ticking clock, the ACC

2575
02:15:56,000 --> 02:15:59,000
Speaker 2: It's going to crumble. It is going to crumble. It's

2576
02:15:59,040 --> 02:15:59,360
Speaker 2: going to.

2577
02:15:59,760 --> 02:16:02,200
Speaker 1: Dam buy I'm buy carbon here. Fox Sports Sunday, Fox

2578
02:16:02,240 --> 02:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Coming up next, James Harden. The trade season

2579
02:16:06,120 --> 02:16:09,320
Speaker 1: in the NBA. It's gotten awful quiet, real fast. But

2580
02:16:10,320 --> 02:16:12,960
Speaker 1: the theory, and I think a right one that Dan

2581
02:16:13,080 --> 02:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Byer proffers on why this all happened the way it did.

2582
02:16:16,920 --> 02:16:19,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next year on Fox. Glose sticks

2583
02:16:19,240 --> 02:16:21,200
Speaker 1: up on a Sunday morning. Let's get it on live

2584
02:16:21,280 --> 02:16:24,600
Speaker 1: at the tyrac dot com studios by Carma dan Byer

2585
02:16:24,680 --> 02:16:27,760
Speaker 1: with you here as we roll on a little bit on.

2586
02:16:28,360 --> 02:16:31,480
Speaker 1: We're watching a little bit of Little League Softball World

2587
02:16:31,640 --> 02:16:35,320
Speaker 1: Series now, dan Byer. So we're getting a veritable potpourrie

2588
02:16:35,800 --> 02:16:39,240
Speaker 1: of sporting action. A little uh English Premier League coming

2589
02:16:39,320 --> 02:16:43,320
Speaker 1: up later on tonight, a couple more NFL preseason games,

2590
02:16:43,360 --> 02:16:46,840
Speaker 1: we got some golf man, Major League Baseball slate. There's

2591
02:16:46,879 --> 02:16:47,959
Speaker 1: a lot going.

2592
02:16:47,720 --> 02:16:54,320
Speaker 2: On, tons going on, USA hoops going on, getting Yeah, gosh,

2593
02:16:54,320 --> 02:16:55,560
Speaker 2: can we think of anything more?

2594
02:16:55,920 --> 02:16:58,000
Speaker 1: Well, we got to get the you know, start people

2595
02:16:58,080 --> 02:17:00,959
Speaker 1: pushing down that bandwagon because you know, it's been a

2596
02:17:00,959 --> 02:17:05,120
Speaker 1: week since the women's national team was unceremoniously dumped. You

2597
02:17:05,160 --> 02:17:06,640
Speaker 1: know what I did. I lost a lot of sleep

2598
02:17:06,680 --> 02:17:09,000
Speaker 1: this week, not because they lost, but because I still

2599
02:17:09,040 --> 02:17:11,320
Speaker 1: stayed up and watched a lot of the tournament. And

2600
02:17:11,360 --> 02:17:14,760
Speaker 1: the ratings, as our guy Steve Desager loves television ratings,

2601
02:17:15,320 --> 02:17:17,160
Speaker 1: they were still up at around one to eight, good

2602
02:17:17,280 --> 02:17:19,959
Speaker 1: for a lot of these these games. So while Fox

2603
02:17:20,080 --> 02:17:25,280
Speaker 1: lost the giant you know, boost that the women's team

2604
02:17:25,280 --> 02:17:29,160
Speaker 1: would have given them the tournament overall is performing quite well.

2605
02:17:29,360 --> 02:17:31,120
Speaker 1: Of course, if they just won their group, they would

2606
02:17:31,200 --> 02:17:36,000
Speaker 1: have been a more advantageous time slot television wise, but

2607
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:38,160
Speaker 1: they also wouldn't have played Sweden, who has now beat

2608
02:17:38,200 --> 02:17:39,560
Speaker 1: in Japan and moved on.

2609
02:17:39,680 --> 02:17:41,240
Speaker 2: So under the final four here we go.

2610
02:17:41,320 --> 02:17:44,480
Speaker 1: We keep moving through as we roll it on here

2611
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:47,920
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Sunday. We'll get into Little League Baseball

2612
02:17:48,120 --> 02:17:51,480
Speaker 1: softball and some observations there in a minute. But in

2613
02:17:51,520 --> 02:17:54,560
Speaker 1: the NBA, for a while, it was every day we

2614
02:17:54,600 --> 02:17:57,600
Speaker 1: seem to be getting an update of guys wanting to

2615
02:17:57,640 --> 02:17:59,840
Speaker 1: be traded, demanding to be traded. And I know it's

2616
02:17:59,879 --> 02:18:02,040
Speaker 1: the summer, but doesn't mean you got to go quiet.

2617
02:18:02,040 --> 02:18:04,560
Speaker 1: You got to stay relevant. So we've had the latest

2618
02:18:04,560 --> 02:18:09,959
Speaker 1: twist in turn of James Harden, who either a reunion

2619
02:18:09,959 --> 02:18:13,680
Speaker 1: in the planet Houstinner somewhere else was expected to be

2620
02:18:13,800 --> 02:18:17,920
Speaker 1: dealt and now well, no serious offers means there's no

2621
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:21,840
Speaker 1: longer James Harden trade in the offing anytime soon.

2622
02:18:22,240 --> 02:18:25,520
Speaker 2: The interesting thing about this to me is now that

2623
02:18:25,560 --> 02:18:28,480
Speaker 2: trade talks have ended. We've seen this before. Heck, we've

2624
02:18:28,480 --> 02:18:31,240
Speaker 2: seen Darryl Morey hold on to Ben Simmons and then

2625
02:18:31,680 --> 02:18:34,640
Speaker 2: ended up doing a deal. It brought him James Harden.

2626
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:37,640
Speaker 2: So now James Harden, I don't know if he's off

2627
02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:40,800
Speaker 2: the trading block, if that would be the right phrase, Mike.

2628
02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:45,320
Speaker 2: But as he said, trade talks now have ended. And

2629
02:18:45,480 --> 02:18:48,120
Speaker 2: the Sixers plan, and I'll use the air quotes that

2630
02:18:48,160 --> 02:18:51,040
Speaker 2: you can't see on radio, plan is to have James

2631
02:18:51,080 --> 02:18:53,560
Speaker 2: Harden be available for the team at the start of

2632
02:18:53,600 --> 02:18:55,680
Speaker 2: training camp. Now, there are a couple of things that

2633
02:18:56,520 --> 02:19:00,400
Speaker 2: I feel are very important to point out. It's tough

2634
02:19:00,400 --> 02:19:05,280
Speaker 2: to sometimes to realize your own faults, and you may

2635
02:19:05,360 --> 02:19:08,920
Speaker 2: have to ask a close friend, maybe ask one of

2636
02:19:08,959 --> 02:19:13,960
Speaker 2: your brothers, can ask your significant other. That you could say,

2637
02:19:14,280 --> 02:19:16,879
Speaker 2: am I really like that? This happened to me? This

2638
02:19:16,959 --> 02:19:20,360
Speaker 2: happened to me about a week or so ago. My

2639
02:19:20,879 --> 02:19:25,280
Speaker 2: father in law made a comment about me being on

2640
02:19:25,320 --> 02:19:30,520
Speaker 2: the phone not talking but Twitter okay, And you know,

2641
02:19:30,680 --> 02:19:33,760
Speaker 2: I said that it was a joke. But I said

2642
02:19:33,800 --> 02:19:36,680
Speaker 2: to my wife afterwards, I go, am I on the

2643
02:19:36,800 --> 02:19:39,920
Speaker 2: phone that much like? I don't think that I am.

2644
02:19:40,440 --> 02:19:44,039
Speaker 2: She goes, You're on a lot and I just it's

2645
02:19:44,040 --> 02:19:48,320
Speaker 2: scrolling and scrolling, I'm like, wow, Like I didn't realize it.

2646
02:19:48,360 --> 02:19:51,200
Speaker 2: I needed you to tell me the truth. And that's

2647
02:19:51,200 --> 02:19:54,760
Speaker 2: where I feel James Harden is right now and Darryl Morey,

2648
02:19:54,840 --> 02:19:57,360
Speaker 2: while he's the general manager of the team that's going

2649
02:19:57,400 --> 02:19:59,879
Speaker 2: to give you the contract, he's also the one that's

2650
02:20:00,080 --> 02:20:03,640
Speaker 2: probably being able to give you the truth that you

2651
02:20:04,680 --> 02:20:07,440
Speaker 2: probably don't want to hear but need to hear, and

2652
02:20:07,800 --> 02:20:11,680
Speaker 2: that is that you are worth this much in terms

2653
02:20:11,720 --> 02:20:15,200
Speaker 2: of a contract extension. If anybody would want to give

2654
02:20:15,280 --> 02:20:18,560
Speaker 2: James Harden, I think the most that he could it

2655
02:20:18,600 --> 02:20:19,760
Speaker 2: would be Darryl Moury.

2656
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Their history would say it, yeah, yes.

2657
02:20:22,240 --> 02:20:26,160
Speaker 2: And even though even though the Clippers would maybe give

2658
02:20:26,240 --> 02:20:29,200
Speaker 2: Harden what he wanted in a trade or if he

2659
02:20:29,280 --> 02:20:32,000
Speaker 2: was acquired and get the contract that he wanted, I

2660
02:20:32,040 --> 02:20:35,720
Speaker 2: don't know if he's really worth that much. And in

2661
02:20:36,080 --> 02:20:40,320
Speaker 2: the the fact is this is, if you're another team,

2662
02:20:40,920 --> 02:20:44,959
Speaker 2: or if you're the Clippers, if Darryl Moury is unwilling

2663
02:20:45,000 --> 02:20:47,720
Speaker 2: to give James Harden what he wants, what does that

2664
02:20:47,760 --> 02:20:50,879
Speaker 2: tell you about James Harden. And that's the part where

2665
02:20:50,959 --> 02:20:56,039
Speaker 2: I think it's where James Harden knows Darryl Moray knows

2666
02:20:56,120 --> 02:21:00,240
Speaker 2: James Harden knows him up and down, front and back,

2667
02:21:00,680 --> 02:21:03,039
Speaker 2: knows the type of player. So it's kind of like, well,

2668
02:21:03,120 --> 02:21:05,560
Speaker 2: if he's not willing to, why should we be willing to?

2669
02:21:05,640 --> 02:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the harsh reality of James Harden at

2670
02:21:07,959 --> 02:21:10,880
Speaker 1: this point, while he can be a great player at times,

2671
02:21:11,480 --> 02:21:16,520
Speaker 1: we've watched playoff after playoff. That's winning time. I don't

2672
02:21:16,560 --> 02:21:19,720
Speaker 1: care about your stats in the regular season. You can

2673
02:21:19,760 --> 02:21:22,320
Speaker 1: win all the regular season awards you want. You can

2674
02:21:22,400 --> 02:21:26,160
Speaker 1: win fifty games, fifty five games. Whatever that metric's going

2675
02:21:26,200 --> 02:21:29,240
Speaker 1: to be is fill up the statu sheet. Can you

2676
02:21:29,320 --> 02:21:32,039
Speaker 1: play consistently in the playoffs? And once again he did not.

2677
02:21:32,959 --> 02:21:36,360
Speaker 1: In an opportunity to give them that giant boost and

2678
02:21:36,440 --> 02:21:41,280
Speaker 1: push them forward, he failed miserably. I take nothing like Look,

2679
02:21:41,400 --> 02:21:44,880
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid was awful as well, but Harden was terrible.

2680
02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:47,480
Speaker 2: There were some forty point games, but when they needed,

2681
02:21:47,520 --> 02:21:49,360
Speaker 2: when they're up three to two in the series, they

2682
02:21:49,360 --> 02:21:50,680
Speaker 2: didn't get it done, couldn't finish.

2683
02:21:51,040 --> 02:21:53,800
Speaker 1: So part of that is all right, your history there.

2684
02:21:53,920 --> 02:21:57,000
Speaker 1: You're also older. You're a guy that doesn't necessarily take

2685
02:21:57,280 --> 02:22:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm being kind here, doesn't necessarily take care of your

2686
02:22:00,360 --> 02:22:06,039
Speaker 1: body around the clock working your way into shape anymore.

2687
02:22:06,200 --> 02:22:08,959
Speaker 1: Is not the way any of these professional leagues work.

2688
02:22:09,760 --> 02:22:11,840
Speaker 1: Right the Hey, the guy's in the best shape of

2689
02:22:11,840 --> 02:22:13,840
Speaker 1: his life. You're always in the best shape of your life,

2690
02:22:13,920 --> 02:22:16,560
Speaker 1: unless you're coming back off injury and you did something

2691
02:22:16,600 --> 02:22:20,160
Speaker 1: to retool and maybe you changed your diet and muscle whatever.

2692
02:22:20,280 --> 02:22:24,200
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're just rolling into the next season and you're

2693
02:22:24,280 --> 02:22:26,680
Speaker 1: in shape. Like back in the day, you know, guys

2694
02:22:26,760 --> 02:22:30,560
Speaker 1: used to report to NFL training camp after working, you know,

2695
02:22:30,920 --> 02:22:35,200
Speaker 1: delivering milk and beer and stuff, right, steaks, and then

2696
02:22:35,240 --> 02:22:37,119
Speaker 1: you don't have to work a second job anymore. You're

2697
02:22:37,160 --> 02:22:38,680
Speaker 1: training because that is your job.

2698
02:22:38,959 --> 02:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and James Harden are really good friends. But

2699
02:22:41,959 --> 02:22:45,280
Speaker 2: one of the rifts between them when it came to

2700
02:22:45,360 --> 02:22:48,720
Speaker 2: the basketball team of the Brooklyn Nets was Harden showed

2701
02:22:48,800 --> 02:22:51,120
Speaker 2: up the training camp out of shape. Yeah, you know,

2702
02:22:51,160 --> 02:22:54,280
Speaker 2: and it was something that Durant didn't like. And now

2703
02:22:54,280 --> 02:22:56,640
Speaker 2: you wonder what is Harden going to do because he's

2704
02:22:56,640 --> 02:22:59,199
Speaker 2: opted in on his contract, so he's gonna make the

2705
02:22:59,240 --> 02:23:01,959
Speaker 2: thirty five million whatever it is for the upcoming season.

2706
02:23:02,040 --> 02:23:04,000
Speaker 2: But now that he's not going to get his way

2707
02:23:04,040 --> 02:23:07,160
Speaker 2: and be doubt and get the long term deal. Now

2708
02:23:07,240 --> 02:23:09,360
Speaker 2: is he going to be the Ben Simmons and just

2709
02:23:09,400 --> 02:23:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm not going to suit up? Is he going to

2710
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:14,879
Speaker 2: just show up to camp overweight? But the fact that

2711
02:23:15,000 --> 02:23:18,520
Speaker 2: Darryl Mory is unwilling to give him the deal, I

2712
02:23:18,560 --> 02:23:20,400
Speaker 2: think is enough of a red flag for any other

2713
02:23:20,440 --> 02:23:22,520
Speaker 2: team to be like, maybe we don't want to give

2714
02:23:22,600 --> 02:23:24,840
Speaker 2: up the assets or give him the contract that he

2715
02:23:24,920 --> 02:23:26,360
Speaker 2: desires and make a trade for him.

2716
02:23:26,400 --> 02:23:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, per sam Amick, you know the athletic he's been.

2717
02:23:30,480 --> 02:23:33,440
Speaker 1: You've read him for years, says quote. No one longer

2718
02:23:33,480 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 1: wants to play in Philadelphia and has no plans of

2719
02:23:35,640 --> 02:23:38,600
Speaker 1: taking part in training camp. Like at some point, like

2720
02:23:38,720 --> 02:23:41,160
Speaker 1: you got your thirty six million dollars, are you a

2721
02:23:41,240 --> 02:23:44,120
Speaker 1: thirty Like? Look, someone else can argue whether you're a

2722
02:23:44,120 --> 02:23:47,199
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollar player, but in years to follow,

2723
02:23:47,200 --> 02:23:49,520
Speaker 1: are you a thirty six to forty million dollar player?

2724
02:23:49,760 --> 02:23:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm not taking that on for a guaranteed deal of

2725
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:57,480
Speaker 1: three years or whatever you're looking for. And sometimes you've

2726
02:23:57,520 --> 02:24:00,520
Speaker 1: got to be able to read the room and recognize

2727
02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:03,320
Speaker 1: where you are in your career continuum. But again, the

2728
02:24:03,320 --> 02:24:06,039
Speaker 1: playoff failures of this last year, if that's not the

2729
02:24:06,120 --> 02:24:08,360
Speaker 1: thing to slap you up side the head and say, hey,

2730
02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:10,760
Speaker 1: this is why you're not getting the long term deal,

2731
02:24:11,320 --> 02:24:13,640
Speaker 1: because I mean, you're telling me he's how many tickets

2732
02:24:13,640 --> 02:24:17,920
Speaker 1: get sold because James Harden's coming to town, not as many,

2733
02:24:18,040 --> 02:24:20,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, it's not the same

2734
02:24:20,800 --> 02:24:23,680
Speaker 1: same thing of years ago. He's filling it up. You've

2735
02:24:23,680 --> 02:24:27,640
Speaker 1: got this scoring run where we're talking about he gets buckets,

2736
02:24:27,640 --> 02:24:29,600
Speaker 1: he gets to the fall line because that part of

2737
02:24:29,640 --> 02:24:33,160
Speaker 1: these game got taken away, right with some rules adjustments

2738
02:24:33,200 --> 02:24:36,280
Speaker 1: and stuff like, all of this plays into a you're

2739
02:24:36,280 --> 02:24:40,000
Speaker 1: still a good player. You're not a transcended guy. You're

2740
02:24:40,040 --> 02:24:42,840
Speaker 1: not a superstar. And if we're putting up all right,

2741
02:24:42,879 --> 02:24:45,880
Speaker 1: here's our twelve to fifteen best, I don't think you're

2742
02:24:45,879 --> 02:24:47,360
Speaker 1: making the back end of that list.

2743
02:24:47,480 --> 02:24:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right. And I know that Maury's asking

2744
02:24:50,520 --> 02:24:53,240
Speaker 2: price has been high, but Daryl Moury doesn't have a

2745
02:24:53,280 --> 02:24:56,040
Speaker 2: reason to lower the asking price. He held on to

2746
02:24:56,080 --> 02:24:58,680
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons and got what he wanted in return, like

2747
02:24:58,760 --> 02:25:00,800
Speaker 2: it worked out for him. It's out in the past,

2748
02:25:00,840 --> 02:25:03,920
Speaker 2: so why wouldn't this maybe end up working out. It's

2749
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:07,240
Speaker 2: just a warning though to other teams that even though

2750
02:25:07,520 --> 02:25:12,760
Speaker 2: there's that high acting asking price. If Darryl Moury really

2751
02:25:12,879 --> 02:25:16,440
Speaker 2: truly believed that James Harden would help that team win

2752
02:25:16,480 --> 02:25:19,320
Speaker 2: a championship, I think they'd give him the big money

2753
02:25:19,320 --> 02:25:20,800
Speaker 2: contract that he actually desired.

2754
02:25:20,920 --> 02:25:24,039
Speaker 1: Go get his contract extension, as it were. Mike Garman,

2755
02:25:24,120 --> 02:25:27,520
Speaker 1: Dan Byer with you here, Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio.

2756
02:25:27,640 --> 02:25:27,800
Speaker 2: Dan.

2757
02:25:28,240 --> 02:25:30,280
Speaker 1: We were talking about it a little bit off air,

2758
02:25:30,360 --> 02:25:33,760
Speaker 1: and we've been watching a veritable poperie of sporting events,

2759
02:25:33,760 --> 02:25:37,240
Speaker 1: and right now we've got the Little League Softball World Series,

2760
02:25:37,320 --> 02:25:41,560
Speaker 1: Ages ten to twelve, Connecticut and Texas. I wanted to say, yukon,

2761
02:25:42,760 --> 02:25:44,920
Speaker 1: like just I'm so programmed.

2762
02:25:44,520 --> 02:25:44,840
Speaker 2: So ed.

2763
02:25:45,480 --> 02:25:47,920
Speaker 1: But we're watching this game. It's early on, it's being

2764
02:25:47,959 --> 02:25:51,880
Speaker 1: televised nationally, which is part one of what we're talking

2765
02:25:51,920 --> 02:25:54,800
Speaker 1: about here. And you've got all the infielders wearing masks.

2766
02:25:54,920 --> 02:25:55,160
Speaker 2: Yep.

2767
02:25:55,200 --> 02:26:00,560
Speaker 1: Safety absolutely, safety paramount in this process. These look like

2768
02:26:00,560 --> 02:26:03,440
Speaker 1: they're like five to ten. Me being a follow of

2769
02:26:03,520 --> 02:26:05,240
Speaker 1: five nothing, I'm jealous.

2770
02:26:05,360 --> 02:26:08,879
Speaker 2: Did you say it's ages ten to twelve? I did, yep.

2771
02:26:09,040 --> 02:26:12,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, so we're looking at what fifth to seventh grade?

2772
02:26:13,280 --> 02:26:14,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, fourth to sixth yeah.

2773
02:26:14,720 --> 02:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Something like that, depending on birthdays and all, but we

2774
02:26:17,879 --> 02:26:19,600
Speaker 1: got that, we got the Little League World Series. The

2775
02:26:19,640 --> 02:26:23,600
Speaker 1: team from El Segundo here in southern California has advanced,

2776
02:26:23,640 --> 02:26:26,520
Speaker 1: so that's been a pretty big local story here winning

2777
02:26:26,520 --> 02:26:27,400
Speaker 1: the West Regional.

2778
02:26:27,840 --> 02:26:28,840
Speaker 2: But you showed me the.

2779
02:26:28,800 --> 02:26:31,600
Speaker 1: Grid of what the bracket looked like for the Little League.

2780
02:26:31,640 --> 02:26:35,280
Speaker 2: The world see the expansion of Little League and the

2781
02:26:35,680 --> 02:26:38,080
Speaker 2: expansion of the interest of Little League. Let me, that's

2782
02:26:38,120 --> 02:26:40,880
Speaker 2: a better way to put it to me as astounding,

2783
02:26:41,480 --> 02:26:44,120
Speaker 2: like think back to when we were growing up some

2784
02:26:45,240 --> 02:26:49,840
Speaker 2: thirty thirty five years ago, I know. And the reason

2785
02:26:49,879 --> 02:26:54,039
Speaker 2: that I need this timeline to explain why this is

2786
02:26:54,160 --> 02:26:58,560
Speaker 2: kind of a phenomenon. I remember the championship game being

2787
02:26:58,600 --> 02:27:03,600
Speaker 2: broadcast ABC's Wide World of Sports. US champion would take

2788
02:27:03,640 --> 02:27:08,160
Speaker 2: on Chinese Taipei team, or you would just see the

2789
02:27:08,280 --> 02:27:12,080
Speaker 2: championship game, and then it expanded. Then they said, all right,

2790
02:27:12,120 --> 02:27:15,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna show you the US Championship. So now you

2791
02:27:15,560 --> 02:27:18,400
Speaker 2: saw the US Championship game the day before, and then

2792
02:27:18,440 --> 02:27:21,560
Speaker 2: you saw the actual Little League Championship the next day.

2793
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:25,240
Speaker 2: Then ESPN gets its hands on this thing and it's like,

2794
02:27:25,400 --> 02:27:27,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna show you the entire Little League World Series.

2795
02:27:28,480 --> 02:27:31,720
Speaker 2: This is what you've got Day one in Williamsport and

2796
02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:35,400
Speaker 2: Mike they are like, we need more Little League, So

2797
02:27:35,560 --> 02:27:39,080
Speaker 2: guess what We're gonna show you the championship games that

2798
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:42,120
Speaker 2: are being played in these regions that will allow the

2799
02:27:42,160 --> 02:27:45,879
Speaker 2: team to punch their ticket to Williamsport. And then this

2800
02:27:46,040 --> 02:27:47,800
Speaker 2: past week, and it may have gone on for the

2801
02:27:47,840 --> 02:27:50,039
Speaker 2: last couple of years. I don't know, but to me

2802
02:27:50,120 --> 02:27:55,160
Speaker 2: it was it was so surprising we were looking at

2803
02:27:55,440 --> 02:27:59,240
Speaker 2: tournament games from these regions that weren't even championship games.

2804
02:27:59,720 --> 02:28:03,920
Speaker 2: I saw on TV Montana taking on Utah in a

2805
02:28:03,920 --> 02:28:04,760
Speaker 2: Little League game.

2806
02:28:04,640 --> 02:28:07,720
Speaker 1: Say Live sports Man, and I don't watch.

2807
02:28:08,120 --> 02:28:10,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because there are so many

2808
02:28:10,640 --> 02:28:14,280
Speaker 2: networks and they maybe ESPN needs stuff to put on

2809
02:28:14,320 --> 02:28:18,560
Speaker 2: the networks, but I do think that there is there

2810
02:28:18,720 --> 02:28:24,400
Speaker 2: is something to putting your name of the state on

2811
02:28:24,440 --> 02:28:28,520
Speaker 2: that screen. Sure, So if you're from Montana or you're

2812
02:28:28,560 --> 02:28:32,600
Speaker 2: from Utah, you don't know where these kids are from,

2813
02:28:32,920 --> 02:28:35,800
Speaker 2: but you are watching like those that is the that

2814
02:28:35,920 --> 02:28:38,680
Speaker 2: is the squad that you are watching. Little League has

2815
02:28:38,680 --> 02:28:43,000
Speaker 2: also expanded its regions, so there's there's a bunch of

2816
02:28:43,080 --> 02:28:47,160
Speaker 2: different regions. Now they've gone to ten American regions, there's

2817
02:28:47,240 --> 02:28:49,200
Speaker 2: just a lot of different teams. Growing up, we were

2818
02:28:49,200 --> 02:28:54,480
Speaker 2: in the Great Lakes region. Now because the Great Lakes

2819
02:28:54,480 --> 02:28:56,879
Speaker 2: it was like its own region. Now there's a separate

2820
02:28:56,959 --> 02:29:00,440
Speaker 2: Midwest region. It's just more and more Little League. And

2821
02:29:00,760 --> 02:29:03,600
Speaker 2: I know that some people don't like it, they're not fans,

2822
02:29:04,160 --> 02:29:07,320
Speaker 2: But to me, it's just amazing on how much it

2823
02:29:07,440 --> 02:29:10,720
Speaker 2: has expanded. That it's expanded to all the way to

2824
02:29:11,440 --> 02:29:15,240
Speaker 2: semi final games in regionals that would even get you

2825
02:29:15,240 --> 02:29:16,920
Speaker 2: to the Little League World I just go back.

2826
02:29:16,840 --> 02:29:19,640
Speaker 1: To when when we were playing, we had very rudimentary

2827
02:29:19,680 --> 02:29:23,360
Speaker 1: travel ball. Right, you'd make an all star team and

2828
02:29:23,440 --> 02:29:26,880
Speaker 1: we would go to southern Illinois down to Matune, and

2829
02:29:26,920 --> 02:29:29,240
Speaker 1: you'd have a host family that you'd stay with for

2830
02:29:29,280 --> 02:29:32,360
Speaker 1: a couple of days and that kind of stuff. That

2831
02:29:32,480 --> 02:29:34,240
Speaker 1: was about as far as it got, right, There were

2832
02:29:34,320 --> 02:29:36,720
Speaker 1: no considerations. But the Little League World Series. I just

2833
02:29:36,760 --> 02:29:39,720
Speaker 1: remember it's like, all right, normally we're getting whatever bowling,

2834
02:29:40,240 --> 02:29:43,160
Speaker 1: there's a shankle giving me some earl. Anthony mark Roth

2835
02:29:43,240 --> 02:29:45,720
Speaker 1: battles like, no, no, no, it's a Little League World Series

2836
02:29:45,760 --> 02:29:49,200
Speaker 1: this week on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Right, and

2837
02:29:49,240 --> 02:29:53,800
Speaker 1: then the expansion as you as you laid it out

2838
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:57,600
Speaker 1: just bit by bit, it's that more expansive. And I mean,

2839
02:29:57,600 --> 02:30:00,959
Speaker 1: we've got the great meme of good old my name

2840
02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:04,840
Speaker 1: is Big Al and I hit dingers that's become so legendary,

2841
02:30:04,920 --> 02:30:08,240
Speaker 1: like the kid introductions. As part of these things, we've

2842
02:30:08,280 --> 02:30:10,800
Speaker 1: had some major league players that we get to go

2843
02:30:10,840 --> 02:30:14,040
Speaker 1: and find their old footage and to show them playing.

2844
02:30:14,959 --> 02:30:18,560
Speaker 1: I just think it's a great celebration of these towns

2845
02:30:18,400 --> 02:30:23,360
Speaker 1: and cities across the country. And look, we always talk about,

2846
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, representation is a big deal, and I don't

2847
02:30:26,440 --> 02:30:28,760
Speaker 1: want to make it sound like I'm making light of

2848
02:30:28,800 --> 02:30:33,080
Speaker 1: it in other aspects, right when we talk about culturally, racially,

2849
02:30:33,120 --> 02:30:35,920
Speaker 1: all those things of people being able to see kids

2850
02:30:35,959 --> 02:30:37,760
Speaker 1: like them. But if you're like a little eight year

2851
02:30:37,760 --> 02:30:42,480
Speaker 1: old nine year old baseball player, the soccer they kind

2852
02:30:42,480 --> 02:30:44,280
Speaker 1: of do the same thing. Where we're starting to see

2853
02:30:44,320 --> 02:30:48,640
Speaker 1: more junior soccer being played, Like that's a big stage.

2854
02:30:49,280 --> 02:30:50,920
Speaker 1: Like how about you work on your game? You could

2855
02:30:50,959 --> 02:30:51,760
Speaker 1: be on TV too.

2856
02:30:52,280 --> 02:30:54,760
Speaker 2: You're if you're an eight year old girl that likes

2857
02:30:54,800 --> 02:30:58,840
Speaker 2: to play softball in Texas, guess what Texas is on

2858
02:30:58,959 --> 02:31:01,360
Speaker 2: TV right now playing in a little league softball game

2859
02:31:01,360 --> 02:31:05,000
Speaker 2: that you could like there's there is absolutely something to that.

2860
02:31:05,320 --> 02:31:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm just astounded because I know in growing up in

2861
02:31:08,680 --> 02:31:11,920
Speaker 2: our town, we had a senior league baseball team that

2862
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:15,039
Speaker 2: went they maybe won the state, so they went to

2863
02:31:15,080 --> 02:31:17,680
Speaker 2: the to the regional thing and they played games in

2864
02:31:17,680 --> 02:31:22,400
Speaker 2: Indiana and the you'd have to tune into the local

2865
02:31:22,480 --> 02:31:25,480
Speaker 2: radio station right to find out what the scores were,

2866
02:31:25,600 --> 02:31:28,040
Speaker 2: not that they were even broadcasting the game's live mic,

2867
02:31:28,080 --> 02:31:29,959
Speaker 2: because you didn't even just a news up there, yes,

2868
02:31:30,240 --> 02:31:33,720
Speaker 2: just a hey, so and so's dad called in to

2869
02:31:33,800 --> 02:31:37,240
Speaker 2: score from like you know, in that maybe very small

2870
02:31:37,280 --> 02:31:39,440
Speaker 2: town where I'm from, But that's how you would get

2871
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:42,119
Speaker 2: these scores, or you would find out that way. Now

2872
02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:45,320
Speaker 2: it'd be like, hey, guess what we're gonna watch Charlie.

2873
02:31:45,360 --> 02:31:48,560
Speaker 2: He's playing on ESPN two. Like that's crazy. It's crazy

2874
02:31:48,640 --> 02:31:51,360
Speaker 2: to think on how much it has expanded that we

2875
02:31:51,440 --> 02:31:53,320
Speaker 2: would It's not even the Little League World Series, it's

2876
02:31:53,320 --> 02:31:55,240
Speaker 2: the tournaments they get you to the Little League World

2877
02:31:55,280 --> 02:31:56,400
Speaker 2: Series that are on team Well.

2878
02:31:56,320 --> 02:31:58,160
Speaker 1: Let me pull it back from TV for a second.

2879
02:31:58,200 --> 02:31:59,560
Speaker 1: I know we got to get to Ilo here at

2880
02:31:59,560 --> 02:32:03,480
Speaker 1: a second. Is like from my daughter's soccer tournaments, right,

2881
02:32:03,520 --> 02:32:06,039
Speaker 1: she travels a bunch and like they were out in

2882
02:32:06,040 --> 02:32:08,520
Speaker 1: New Jersey whatever. Well, there's all these different companies where

2883
02:32:08,520 --> 02:32:11,320
Speaker 1: you can now buy a package to have a live

2884
02:32:11,360 --> 02:32:16,440
Speaker 1: stream for that weekend's tournament. And is the technology one

2885
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:18,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent. No, You're still missing a lot of the

2886
02:32:18,680 --> 02:32:22,760
Speaker 1: corners and the camera doesn't quite track the ball as

2887
02:32:22,840 --> 02:32:25,960
Speaker 1: well as it will in two to three years. But

2888
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:28,440
Speaker 1: you at least get to see your kid play and

2889
02:32:28,640 --> 02:32:32,560
Speaker 1: some function. And we see that for baseball, for softball,

2890
02:32:32,600 --> 02:32:36,000
Speaker 1: for soccer, for volleyball, and that has become a multi

2891
02:32:36,040 --> 02:32:37,600
Speaker 1: billion dollar business as well.

2892
02:32:37,720 --> 02:32:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know we do got to get Isaac. But

2893
02:32:39,560 --> 02:32:41,320
Speaker 2: I'll just say the one thing with that that is

2894
02:32:41,480 --> 02:32:43,880
Speaker 2: active watching, because you're watching because your kid is in

2895
02:32:43,959 --> 02:32:46,440
Speaker 2: it or your nephew is in it. What this does

2896
02:32:46,760 --> 02:32:49,440
Speaker 2: This makes it very passive where you're just turning on

2897
02:32:49,520 --> 02:32:53,720
Speaker 2: the Oh, guess what team from Iowa. I'm from the Midwest.

2898
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch this game. And it works. It's a

2899
02:32:56,520 --> 02:32:58,240
Speaker 2: lot of times like we talk about, like when you

2900
02:32:58,280 --> 02:33:00,840
Speaker 2: put a flag on a team West flag, you're like, oh,

2901
02:33:00,840 --> 02:33:03,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch this because it's USA. It's the same

2902
02:33:03,240 --> 02:33:06,240
Speaker 2: thing when they have those the states on that scoreboard.

2903
02:33:06,360 --> 02:33:08,920
Speaker 2: It brings people in and it's just crazy that it's

2904
02:33:09,240 --> 02:33:12,720
Speaker 2: expanded so much in little league or Little league softball.

2905
02:33:12,360 --> 02:33:14,400
Speaker 1: And I didn't even know I was looking for it.

Speaker 5: what what what? Anyway, Actually, at the top of the hour,

2923
02:34:09,480 --> 02:34:11,880
Speaker 5: we have an NFL preseason game kicking off with the

2924
02:34:11,920 --> 02:34:14,720
Speaker 5: New Orleans Saints hosting the Super Bowl champion Kansas City

2925
02:34:14,800 --> 02:34:17,520
Speaker 5: Chiefs on Friday. Head coach Andy Reid said that Patrick

2926
02:34:17,600 --> 02:34:19,720
Speaker 5: Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs first string will

2927
02:34:19,760 --> 02:34:22,360
Speaker 5: play the first quarter. A short time ago, the Miami

2928
02:34:22,400 --> 02:34:25,320
Speaker 5: Dolphins side receiver Kei key cut, who was released by

2929
02:34:25,360 --> 02:34:29,199
Speaker 5: the Saints on Friday. On Saturday night, in the NFL preseason,

2930
02:34:29,480 --> 02:34:33,160
Speaker 5: the Baltimore Ravens made a twenty four consecutive preseason victories

2931
02:34:33,160 --> 02:34:35,880
Speaker 5: with a twenty to nineteen win over the Eagles. The

2933
02:34:39,200 --> 02:34:42,320
Speaker 5: to seventeen, but Rams rookie fourth round pick Stetson Bennett

02:34:42,360 --> 02:34:44,440
Speaker 5: had a good game seventeen of twenty nine for one

2935
02:34:44,520 --> 02:34:47,440
Speaker 5: sixty one with a touchdown pass. One major League Baseball

2936
02:34:47,480 --> 02:34:50,160
Speaker 5: game going on right now, Tigers and Red Sox tied

2937
02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:53,160
Speaker 5: at one to the top of the third inning at Fenway. Finally,

2938
02:34:53,200 --> 02:34:56,840
Speaker 5: in case you missed it earlier, we have a tennis update. Yesterday,

2939
02:34:56,840 --> 02:35:01,520
Speaker 5: in the semi finals of the Montreal Open IgA, Swiantech

2940
02:35:01,640 --> 02:35:04,880
Speaker 5: and Jessica Pegoulo were in the middle of a rather

2941
02:35:05,080 --> 02:35:09,160
Speaker 5: intense rally during a second sent tiebreaker when there was

2942
02:35:09,200 --> 02:35:13,800
Speaker 5: a most untimely faux paw by the sound system.

2943
02:35:14,080 --> 02:35:31,360
Speaker 9: Listen, Oh wow, Cotton Eye Joe just came on mid rally.

2944
02:35:32,040 --> 02:35:35,560
Speaker 5: Oh wow, if I could name that song in two notes.

2945
02:35:36,280 --> 02:35:38,880
Speaker 5: I mean there was you know, name that tune the

2946
02:35:39,200 --> 02:35:43,240
Speaker 5: game show. And this guy just randomly, with no warning,

2947
02:35:43,320 --> 02:35:46,400
Speaker 5: is able to identify Cotton Eye Joe instantly.

2948
02:35:46,520 --> 02:35:47,600
Speaker 2: So props to that guy.

2949
02:35:47,680 --> 02:35:50,840

2965
02:36:39,200 --> 02:36:43,600
Speaker 1: the streak that continues. Network, I believe that's the Ravens

2966
02:36:43,680 --> 02:36:47,480
Speaker 1: Radio Network on the call, jacked up and excited about it.

2967
02:36:48,720 --> 02:36:50,880
Speaker 1: Sixty yarder and then you just say, all right, I'm

2968
02:36:50,920 --> 02:36:53,199
Speaker 1: putting on my baseball cap and walking away.

2969
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:56,840
Speaker 2: My bad ninety eight Rock, Ravens Radio Network, ninety eight Rock.

2970
02:36:56,720 --> 02:37:01,279
Speaker 1: Even better specificity always for the win twenty to nineteen

2971
02:37:01,320 --> 02:37:05,520
Speaker 1: year final edge out the Eagles. And now we look

2972
02:37:05,560 --> 02:37:09,280
Speaker 1: at the Ravens with their twenty four game streak in

2973
02:37:09,360 --> 02:37:12,840
Speaker 1: the preseason, and I always struggle with how to I mean,

2974
02:37:13,160 --> 02:37:15,280
Speaker 1: how much weight to give it. I mean, obviously it's

2975
02:37:15,320 --> 02:37:21,440
Speaker 1: important to Harball that this stays alive. But we talk

2976
02:37:21,560 --> 02:37:24,040
Speaker 1: all the time, like I was on with Arnie on Friday,

2977
02:37:24,200 --> 02:37:27,440
Speaker 1: referenced it a little bit earlier, the fighting for a win,

2978
02:37:28,200 --> 02:37:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, slim margins and plays and you know, playing

2979
02:37:32,800 --> 02:37:35,480
Speaker 1: to the final whistle versus all right, we got what

2980
02:37:35,520 --> 02:37:37,200
Speaker 1: we needed out of this game, and let's move on.

2981
02:37:37,360 --> 02:37:40,280
Speaker 2: I would say the second that it affected your regular

2982
02:37:40,400 --> 02:37:45,240
Speaker 2: season was the second that you stopped caring about the streak. However,

2983
02:37:46,160 --> 02:37:48,480
Speaker 2: remember this is a team that lost JK. Dobbins to

2984
02:37:48,480 --> 02:37:51,640
Speaker 2: a knee injury. Just a few seasons ago playing in

2985
02:37:51,680 --> 02:37:53,680
Speaker 2: a preseason game, and again, you can get hurt on

2986
02:37:53,800 --> 02:37:57,920
Speaker 2: any play in the NFL, understand, But that didn't change

2987
02:37:57,959 --> 02:38:02,280
Speaker 2: anything with what the Ravens have done. And obviously John

2988
02:38:02,320 --> 02:38:04,879
Speaker 2: Harbaugh feels it sets a tone for their culture and

2989
02:38:04,920 --> 02:38:07,520
Speaker 2: where they are. But I would I would think like,

2990
02:38:07,600 --> 02:38:10,000
Speaker 2: as soon as it affected your regular season, they're like, Okay,

2991
02:38:10,040 --> 02:38:12,279
Speaker 2: we're not going to do that anymore. But it doesn't

2992
02:38:12,280 --> 02:38:15,280
Speaker 2: seem to have effected the Ravens. What's you know one bit?

2993
02:38:15,640 --> 02:38:16,080
Speaker 2: Very much?

2994
02:38:16,200 --> 02:38:18,720
Speaker 1: The Harbaugh next man up, if you ever want to

2995
02:38:18,760 --> 02:38:21,600
Speaker 1: see the application of it. The Dobbins injury would be

2996
02:38:21,640 --> 02:38:24,200
Speaker 1: as like, well, we got Gus Edwards for as long

2997
02:38:24,200 --> 02:38:27,200
Speaker 1: as he's ready to run, we're good. And we moved through.

2998
02:38:27,280 --> 02:38:29,760
Speaker 1: So a couple more preseason games today. We'll see some

2999
02:38:29,800 --> 02:38:33,000
Speaker 1: Trey Lance coming up later on this afternoon. There was

3000
02:38:33,080 --> 02:38:37,800
Speaker 1: some good fireworks in the Raiders forty nine ers the

3001
02:38:37,840 --> 02:38:41,960
Speaker 1: other day. Brock Purdy with extensive reps and struggling against

3002
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:43,119
Speaker 1: that Raiders defense, and.

3003
02:38:43,080 --> 02:38:48,160
Speaker 2: The fireworks between Kyle Shanahan and Jimmy Garoppolo just amazing,

3004
02:38:48,280 --> 02:38:51,080
Speaker 2: Like a war of words in the media, almost of

3005
02:38:51,600 --> 02:38:54,800
Speaker 2: revisionist history. And Jimmy gen and saying like, all right,

3006
02:38:54,840 --> 02:38:57,520
Speaker 2: don't believe everything you hear, and then Kyle Shanaan confirming

3007
02:38:57,560 --> 02:38:59,640
Speaker 2: they were looking at Philip Rivers and he was going

3008
02:38:59,680 --> 02:39:02,640
Speaker 2: to sil like there's just there's stuff that doesn't match

3009
02:39:02,720 --> 02:39:04,640
Speaker 2: up with the decisions that were made. So I don't

3010
02:39:04,640 --> 02:39:07,280
Speaker 2: necessarily know who is all telling the truth, but for

3011
02:39:07,360 --> 02:39:09,600
Speaker 2: them to go head to head just weird.

3012
02:39:09,760 --> 02:39:12,880
Speaker 1: The Philip Rivers story is about as good as it gets, though,

3013
02:39:13,000 --> 02:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the idea that he might have been able to go

3014
02:39:15,040 --> 02:39:18,160
Speaker 1: and potentially win his Super Bowl, yeah, as a member

3015
02:39:18,200 --> 02:39:20,200
Speaker 1: of the forty Whiners after not playing at all, And.

3016
02:39:20,240 --> 02:39:22,840
Speaker 2: Why didn't Jimmy get surgery? Like that's like the point,

3017
02:39:22,840 --> 02:39:24,680
Speaker 2: like you would have been on ir Hecky was inactive

3018
02:39:24,680 --> 02:39:25,359
Speaker 2: for the NCA.

3019
02:39:25,520 --> 02:39:27,520
Speaker 1: If he was going to suddenly be ready like there's

3020
02:39:27,520 --> 02:39:29,680
Speaker 1: so much to it, Hey, Katelyn Clark got a butter

3021
02:39:29,760 --> 02:39:32,840
Speaker 1: statue at the Iowa State Fair. I'm turning fifty in

3022
02:39:32,879 --> 02:39:35,760
Speaker 1: a couple months. Should I get a butter statue? If

3023
02:39:35,760 --> 02:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I were ever to get a butter statue, this would

3024
02:39:37,720 --> 02:39:40,080
Speaker 1: be it. Anybody that knows how to sculpt one, let

3025
02:39:40,120 --> 02:39:43,320
Speaker 1: me know. He's Dan. I'm Mike Steve Hartman coming up

3026
02:39:43,360 --> 02:39:44,800
Speaker 1: with Jason Martin X on Fox
