WEBVTT - EA Podcast: Episode 7 Featuring Bart Scott 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.000 Hey, this is Ryan Fitzpatrick and you are listening to 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:07.400 the e A Podcast with Eric Allen. Take it away. 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:12.360 Thanks for that, it's appreciate. Okay, we're back here on 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.200 the A Podcast, Part Scott in studio. Before we talked 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.599 New York Jets football. There was something on television this 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:26.479 week that a four million people watched the presidential debate 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:31.760 between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Did you watch part Scott? 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.920 You know what's crazy. I watched. I wanted. I didn't 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.640 watch football. I watched the debate. It was entertaining. Man, 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.840 I'll tell you what you know. I don't know about 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.680 the body chemistry experts and all that stuff, but it 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.880 was awkward watching Donald Trump and his spirits split screen. 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:48.960 You know, he couldn't be able his best behavior for 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.080 the entire time. Man, you heard you heard some some glory. 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.920 He was thirsty, his throat was dry, he was he 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.520 was disruptive, you know. And that's him on his good behavior, 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.360 you know, on the on the Republican primaries, and even 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.880 crazy because then it's kind of hard for him. He's 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.560 between the rock and Hart Pleace. He can't really insult, 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.560 insult a lady, you know, he can't really call it 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.959 a little Marie, you know, a little ruby o and 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:14.680 all that type of stuff. So he was trying to 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.280 build his best behavior. But you could see that she 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.640 was poking a bear and getting underneath the skin. It 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.480 was it was hilarious. It was fun to watch. But 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.679 you know, it's what what was was interesting to me. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.920 I don't know how you said, is how the difference 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.960 between the way sin then covers it and the difference 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.240 between Fox. Now listen to me watching, I think he lost. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.600 He didn't do a great job. He may have had 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.280 a couple of moments where he was more informed than others, 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.280 but he didn't come off presidential to me. But you 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.440 talk to them, they're like, oh my god, like like 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.720 he was like Martin Luther King or something like he 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.760 galvanized the world or something like. It was like it 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.880 was amazing. Then you turn the center, didn't turn to 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.760 sit and then they're like, man, that's the worst debate. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.400 He lost, blah blah blah. But there's no middle ground, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.920 never a middle cround. So I was always searching the television, 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.760 and I used to watch CNN a lot, and sometimes 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.120 I sometimes they go down on my son BC. But 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.120 again those are not worth. It's that I have a 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.200 left leaning and I'll say it right now. We're not 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.000 gonna get two potter. But I'm an independent, so that's 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.919 how I feel. I don't know what I listened. I lit, 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.160 I judge based on the person and listen. If I 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:17.880 had a choice, I wouldn't vote for anybody that I 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.240 would go none of the above. I forgot what movie 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.200 that was when you vote none of the above. I 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.360 think it was something with no no. I think it 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.280 was Eddie Murphy when the guy died, um and he 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.519 was maybe he died and he was the Uh, yeah, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.920 it was Eddie Murphy. The guy died, he used his name. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.800 And people are just so used to just voting for 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.760 the person in name that something Jefferson. They always vote 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.360 for the name, so they never even looked a pat 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.120 attention to the ballot. You know, let me let me 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.160 look this up here. But I'll tell you what, man 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.280 like Jesus God. Now, there's a lot of people who 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:57.040 say that people would react differently if they turned it down. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.160 I mean, I'm not one of those guys who are 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.200 gonna watch you with the sound up and then see 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.480 how I feel about it just by watching their facial gestures. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.960 But there are folks to say they react differently to 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.919 it by hearing what they say and then their facial reactions. Yeah, 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.519 I mean, you got these body language experts to come 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.560 in and say that you know, he was drinking because 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.080 he was getting nervous and he was anxious and had anxiety, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.040 and you say she was you know, you can tell 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.399 when he when he brought up the emails, how that 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:33.399 you know she started blinking, you know, rapidly blinking. So 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.040 so what I'm trying to do is figure out how 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.840 I can use these But when I'm trying to get 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.720 out of something with my wife, how can I use 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.520 my body language? Sure, because if you start blinking, you 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.560 know something that's going on, or you scratch. Why are 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.839 they against water? I like water? You know me, I'm 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.600 always drinking. They tell you to drink a hundred ounces 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.560 a day with this guy in a couple of SIPs 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.200 of water, and they're like different times, he had eleven 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.280 different times, And in their little glasses, I think somebody's 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.920 under that refilling them. And then you know, I think 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.200 they say he interrupted her seventy times. You can get 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.640 away with that and be loud and bragg your doshes 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.800 and like over over, you know, over talk, you know 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.440 in the in the Republican primary, right right, right, He's 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.160 kind of like, you know, it's a show, but when 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.400 it's just two people, it comes off as annoying and arrogant. 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.520 And what do you think about what do you think 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.960 about the crowd though, because they tell people to come 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.360 in there and be silent. But my counter would be, 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.000 we used to work at Hofstra back in the day. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.680 Uh that's where the Jets home was and I worked 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.400 there from two thousand one to two thousand and eight 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.120 when this building started. But they tell people in that 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.920 auditorium to come in and don't say anything. But then 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.160 why do they want him there? You know what I'm 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.200 saying exactly. We don't even have the show them. Yeah, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.200 I guess for atmosphere. You know, they like the handshakes 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.080 at that I guess you know, everybody's gotta claim victory 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.760 and then there's that awkward handshake at the you know, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.760 like the little lea you just talk stuff about me, 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.039 And they even talked about the handshake. They talked about 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.240 that he invaded her personal space as he put her in, 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.920 and he patted her on the back, but they say 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.840 she should have looked at there's what are you supposed 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.960 to do? I hate him. He's talking about he's been 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.000 talking crap about my about my husband and talking about 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.280 threatening to bringing Cheetah. She's bringing in, you know, Mark Cuban, 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.120 you know, to come in somebody. I don't agree with she. 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.680 She's making all these uh ads about him and his past. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.320 It's so hard when it gets personal. How would you 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.960 handle that if you were a presidential candidate? Somebody was 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.360 talking because he went at her for going at Barack Obama, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.120 but then he went after everybody in his party. But 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:47.640 now they became friends. So now you hear uh Christie 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.240 like Ben Carson's, they're like, man, what are you doing? Man? 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.840 The funniest thing for me is uh and I you know, 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.680 I do a radio show with CPS and I was 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.080 just so Paul last week when I saw Don King 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.400 come out and listen. If Don King wants to support 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:05.000 Donald Trump, I'm fine. But whoever is advises Donald Trump. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.440 The fact that they thought that bringing Don King was 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.880 gonna bring it in the black boat have got to 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.400 be has to have lost their mind and be crazy. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.599 Like I said before on my show. I said, listen, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.240 black people don't like Don King. You can't find find 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.719 people in their family that like Don King. And I 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.880 said that Don King has ribbed more Black people than 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.320 Omar from the wire, like I brought up all five 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.640 of the lawsuits that he had, from Tim Witherspoon to 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.960 Muhammad Lead to Muhammed to Mike Tyson to George Form, 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.919 all the people that have sued him in court. And 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.279 you think that's gonna bring the black boat. You just 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.159 lost the black boat. You want the black you better 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.680 get Oprah on your side. Don King is pretty old. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.760 Old people like that don't die. We lose all the 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.919 good ones, all the shakes, and criminals and crooks live forever. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.360 And then again, Muhammad Lee died on a Palmer die 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:02.920 before we gotta Sunday was tough. You wake up in 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.719 the morning, you hear about a year old kids who 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.000 dies in a boating accident. And then we fly home 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.120 from Kansas City and you hear about Arnold Palmer dying. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.960 Just a legend eighty seven years old. And I know 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.880 he lived a tremendous life, but it just gives you 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.040 cause for pause when you have a day like that. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.240 Came out of nowhere. Listen, listen to who we lost 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.280 this year. We lost mohamedan leader this year, one of 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.720 the biggest, you know, most recognizable athletes in the world. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.000 Forget athlete, most recognizable person in the world. You know, 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.960 it's amazing that, you know, we're losing all the great guys. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.640 You know, Prince died this year. You know we're losing 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.600 all our heroes are dying. It's time and I don't 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.600 really see where it's being replenished, where those great figures 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.920 in sports and society are being replaced. Where's the next 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.120 great leaders? Right? Don't see him. I did feel like 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.160 and I don't know how you do, because you've been 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.560 in the public eye for so long now during your 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.080 playing career and now you're on CBS and you're a 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.160 national presence, you are a national brand. I feel like 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:11.560 these folks, the way we cover things nowadays is they 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.280 don't allow anybody to be a hero. And when I 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.560 say that, I mean with Twitter and the Ultimate responses, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.640 everybody has a flaw and we are going to crush you. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.200 Like Mohammed Ali, I feel like and stuff like that 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:31.320 with de humanized. During his time, he got a lot 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.280 of backlash for the stands he took, and then it 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:39.520 took decades for people to say, hey, really, this guy 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.160 did a lot of good and he stood by his 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.440 principles and what he believed in, and then he got 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.040 credit for it. I feel like if Muhammad Ali lived 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:53.800 in a time like today, he would be vilified when 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.200 they put him in jail. I don't know how much 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.640 more then with the Twitter, you know, let's telling something. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.320 What have us now? Even if you think about one 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.960 of the most famous athletes in the world, Lebron James, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.080 he's too assessible. She used to be that our stars 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.880 were so unaccessible. We didn't really know much about them, 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.400 so we put him on a pedestal. But now what 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.120 happens is it's just like when you meet somebody famous, right, 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.120 and that they're your hero, and the more you're around, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.320 the more normal they become. Right, So you take them 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.480 off of that pedestal, they become normal to you. And 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.520 that's what's happening with our stars. We look at Lebron 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.280 like just a regular guy. He got problems or you 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.360 know this happened, or we're looking for so many flaws. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.400 Oh my god, he's chewing his nails on the batch. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.640 That means that look at look at his hairline. He's 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.880 not gonna be able to take control. Oh he didn't 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.000 take the shot at that of the game. It's Lebron 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.720 is a perfect example of that because he does not 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:49.120 he doesn't have Jordan's personality, right Like Jordan's was a killer. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.880 He was a cold blooded killer, and Lebron is a 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.000 tremendous player, but his personality is different. It's how society 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.560 has changed, right. So it used to be like when 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.160 you're my enemy, we weren't friend on the court. We 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.559 want friends off the court. Now what happens is a 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.400 lot of these kids that grow up going through the 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.880 the AUTH circuit, so they're around each other, so they 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.280 become friends, so they can be competitive and and play. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.839 But it's not that killer instinct, you know. You think 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.120 about you know, I think about Bird and the Pistons, 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.959 I think about Magic and the Celtics. I think about 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.120 I think about Jordan. Listen, Jordan's kept Isaia off the 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.280 off the uh off the Olympic team, and it was 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.800 coached by his coach. So his coach couldn't get Isaiah 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.400 on the on the Olympic team because Jordan hated Isaiah 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.800 that bad that you wouldn't allow him to get an 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.800 opportunity to become a Gold Mellist. When you try and 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.480 tell me that he wasn't one of the best players 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.599 at that time in the game, Come on, man, we 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.040 love Stockton, but come on, man, what do you think 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.320 Christian Lachner wouldn't had a spot? No? Well later was that? Yeah, 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.959 the great college players, so they had to put him 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.719 in there. Uh you just mentioned in the Pistons and 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:01.680 Jordan's which goes you can you imagine the bad boys 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.000 now the bad boys in today's era, they would be 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.160 so villafied changed the rules. Yeah, they did it. But 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.079 when those guys walked off the court when Jordan finally 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.079 beat them, you're a competitor, and sometimes you were high 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.120 and sometimes you were low, and you were all over 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.520 the place. So when do you think about that because 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.120 you grew up in Detroit. Well, well, I think they 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.520 were the Pittons were conditioned to do that because that 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.760 had happened to them when the Celtics they finally beat 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.240 the Celtics. Remember the Celtics walked off the court too, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.640 So they were just doing what they thought great organizations did, like, 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.160 you know, they walked off early, like, yeah, we lost, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.560 but we're not gonna give you satisfaction. We're not gonna 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.760 give you the the appreciation or saying, you know, we're 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.640 not comming. So it was it was a lack of it. 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.640 But yeah, it was a lack of respect. We still 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.160 hate you forget y'all. I hope you'll lose, you know 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.160 what I mean. Where there was no passing the door. 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.280 They never said it's all about we're giving it to you, 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.880 now go get that. They said it was our fault. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.240 He took up. Whatever we're doing, right, we're not going 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:08.040 quietly into the night. And remember when the Celtics finally lost, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.520 remember because Isaiah threw the ball in and it got 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:17.160 stolen by bird and gave to Dennis Johnson. Yeah, well 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.880 so that was like that was like eighty seven. The 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.120 Pistons came back and finally beat them as they were 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.720 getting older and eighty and as the Pistons were getting older, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.160 you know, and Jordan's finally got help because remember the 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.680 year before, uh, Scotty got ill because he took a 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.920 b to have migraints. He couldn't help. In Game seven, 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.680 the Pistons came back and one when they went back 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.280 to back. But you know, like the only person that 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.119 could gratulate the Pistons when they finally beat the uh 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.880 aging Celtics team was Kevin McKell. Remember the famous high 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.480 five that he kind of gave to Isaiah before and 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.040 they went and wanted, Um, that's just the way it's changed. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.920 It's the kids don't have that killer instinct and it's 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.360 no right way wrong way because it's a different situation 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.000 how they're growing up. You know, they're growing up together. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.360 So how can Carmelo hay Lebrown when they played against 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.040 each other in college me in um the auth circuit 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.040 and it was all over the world hanging out, probably 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.640 playing video games. All of a sudden, I was supposed 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.800 to hate you. You know, it's not like that. And 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.920 and sometimes you get the old time talking about back 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.480 in my day. But things change. I'm sure you know 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.960 the people that things do change. But it is tough. Listen, me, 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.520 Havan in this business now close to two decades, and 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.160 you do sometimes and I know I sound like an 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.040 old guy when I said that's what you do. Say. Well, 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:38.280 back in the early nineties, you had dynasty teams in 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.199 the National Football League or late eighties, you saw the 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.600 forty Niners come up, and you know, the Bills want 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.520 the four straight Super Bowls and that will never happen again. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.360 New England. New England's the only team who's had to 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.440 back in a fifteen year run where you know they're 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.720 gonna be in the playoffs. Right, Well, that's the difference things. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.959 You gotta understand. Free agency is different, you know what 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.800 I mean? Agency changed everything, But you bunch of malone. 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.080 It was Reeve, his uncle who was one of the right, 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.040 who was very instrumental in that, and it gave gave 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.080 the players flexibility, ga the players more power. You know, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.959 you talk you talk about you know, the early Dallas Cowboys. 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.840 Those guys couldn't go anywhere, and you talk about you're 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.080 talking about the Still Curtain in the seventies. Those guys 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.360 are on the contract basically lifetime contracts. They couldn't go 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.680 anywhere they wanted to. But then again, they couldn't get 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.200 the financial benefits of being a free agent going to 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.880 the free market. So it's a good thing for the players. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:33.520 It may not be a good thing for the fan 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.520 base because they lose some of their stars. What do 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.000 you think about it? I mean, as a fan, you 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.640 have to understand, Like I always laugh when people want 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.360 to criticize Kevin Durant, you know. And he finally came 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.440 out and said, listen, we understand. You'all don't care about me. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.960 You don't care about my interests. All you care about 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.480 is me and what I can do for your team. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.200 But also that you don't care about me. You don't 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.040 care if I want to live in a city where 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.200 I can go fishing. You don't care if I live 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:58.600 in a city where I want to live in for 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.280 the rest of my life. Or you don't care if 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.240 I want to raise my family in a different place 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.480 or something like that. You don't care. All you care 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.000 about what I can do for you as soon as 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.160 I'm not yours anymore. Now you hate me and you 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.600 talk more? Could former fans talk more crap? How about 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.080 Cleveland Burners Jersey? You come back? Now you love him again? 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.640 But you like put his name through them, even the 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.000 owner right, and then he left came back and now 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.080 you now you love me. I don't have a problem 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.800 with what Duranting, you know, because he thought this situation 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.240 was past for him. And like you're saying it's free ency. Now, 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:35.080 would I prefer in the in a dream world that 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:39.120 he and Washbrook were an okay see for a long time. Yeah, 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.880 but but I don't have a problem. Nobody cried when 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:47.360 James Harden left. Nobody cry when Ibaka left. Nobody Abaka 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.880 actually traded. You don't hear anybody criticizing him or burning 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.600 his jersey. And Durant seems like a nice guy. It 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.440 seems like one of the nice guys he left there 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.640 from Seattle. It's his right to be a phrase. It's 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.560 the second time he's a free agent. If he sees 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.600 his trending, he wants to play, you only get one 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.240 one go around at the same ben an athlete. I mean, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.280 it's no senior citizen circuit for for basketball players. If 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.840 he wants to go play somewhere, that's his that's his prerocative. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.360 He gave you everything he had when he was there. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.480 You can't say didn't play her. You didn't say he 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.000 didn't perform at a high level. If he decides to leave, 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.360 that's his prerogative. How many how many people you know, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.560 those same people that are criticizing him, how many of 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.480 those people would stay at the same job, offered a better, 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.440 more tractive job. How many people, okay, see if they 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.480 would offer the same job and up in a in 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.400 a raising pay in l A would say no, I 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.760 love Oklahoma. So we always asked our athletes to do 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.520 something we wouldn't do in our lives. That we asked 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.360 him to take less money. You asked him to not move, 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.240 not to take their family considerations into into account, not 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.800 not not not pay attention to markets or anything like that. 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.160 But they wouldn't do it in their life. Oh, he's greedy. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.480 He shouldn't. He shouldn't want his money. So your boss 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.160 tell you get this money, you're gonna say no, yeah, yeah, 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.880 But you expect athletes to do it right. It's it's 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:10.439 it's it's crazy hypocrisy. It is fascinating. Let's talk a little, Jets, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.879 let's do it. Uh. Green and White have to flush 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.520 this out of their system quick, just like the Cincinnati 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.639 Bengals game, because after that week, Todd Pole said a 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.160 short week, we gotta move on the Buffalo and they did, 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:30.640 indeed do just that. They loses Kansas City Turnover Festival. 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:36.440 Ryan Fitzpatrick struggled. He admits to trying to do too 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.960 much at times. Obviously that's what happens when you have 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.280 a six interception game, you're still only lose by twenty one, 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.800 which is saying something in itself. But now, how do 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.040 you move quickly from that ball game to Seattle? Well, 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:52.080 what happens there's snowballs, right. And sometimes when you you 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.000 watch teams when they have a bad week, they come 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.879 back and have a better week and people like, oh, well, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.160 why didn't they play with the same passion, because it's 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.000 something about being desperate, and you gotta think they were 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.080 facing a desperate team in the Kanda City Chiefs. What 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.399 happened to them the week before they lost in Houston? 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.600 Absolutely so they were so they were more in their 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.800 game that they went. They had more attention to detail 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.119 and practice. It probably got m MEF in practice in 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.720 film room, they probably you know, were rolled up and 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.040 they used the emotion of the crowd. Tony Richardson went 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.360 into the Hall of Fame that day right in their ring, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.640 a lot of it was a lot of emotions there 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.959 and the guys performed at a high level. And what 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.360 happens is when you have mistakes, and if you want 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.800 to talk about ran Fitzpatrick and the six interceptions only 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.760 give him credit for three of them, you know, two 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.639 deflective balls and the and the last one was just 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.840 trying to take a shot and trying to get back 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.040 in the game with a will route. But you gotta 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:40.840 take your hats off to the defense because really the 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.760 defense on the game up. All those turn off the 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.920 defense on the game up ten points. You know, one 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:49.320 was a fun ball and special teams or intercepted, I 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:50.840 don't know what you want to say, because he caught 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.199 it and went right into the guy's hands. That you 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.440 know that one, and then I believe what was the other? 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.679 It was after fence the first interception, which is Marcus 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.399 Peters say, the thirty five drive and they catched in 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.359 with the touchdown on Now, yeah, that's the only drive 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.720 that they the other ones, am I am? I correct? 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.520 Didn't they score two touchdowns, one on defense and one 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.520 on offense. Yeah, Derrick Johnson scored So yeah, I mean, 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.199 you're the thirty five yard drive off the turnover, you 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:21.359 had Johnson's return for the touchdown and then teams return 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.240 for a touchdown, So that's fourteen points point So it's 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.680 ten points and seven of those came off thirty five 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.240 yard drive. My point. So you know, as a defense, 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.640 you gotta say listen and and you know we can't 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:34.560 give up the thirty five yards no matter what. You know, 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.920 you you strive for perfection. You always you're you're always 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.520 you're always gonna fall short, but you always strive for perfection. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:43.800 Now listen, it's a lot of positives that go in 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.639 when you want to give up ten points. You didn't 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.879 hang your hat, you didn't point to finger at the offense. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.400 The team stayed together, you know, and you just move 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.840 forward from there. You know what, you have to just 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.359 weather this storm, this tough patch of your this tough 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.960
