Been some really nice basketball this afternoon, been 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 3: some good stuff this evening. Ww Elimination Chamber was a 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 3: heck of a show, really new where all night long. Yeah, 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: I mean it was just a that's exactly what you 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 3: want out of a pro wrestling show. I'll leave it 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: at that. It's just that was a just a really 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 3: red hot show and a great out in Toronto. That 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: sets the stage for WrestleMania in Vegas coming up in April. 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: So tell us what forty nine days away. I'll tell 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: you what. 21 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: Last time we talked wrestling on this show about twenty 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: minutes later, Luka Doncic got traded. Maybe the wrestling will 23 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: lead to an Aaron Rodgers signing with the Giants. 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 3: Or no, it would have to be something bigger than that. 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: You have to be like Josh Allen maybe yeah, yeah, 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: because he went because he or like Patrick Mahomes because 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 3: he lost the Super Bowl this year, since Luca lost 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: in the NBA Finals getting traded, It'd have to be 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: something bigger than Aaron Rodgers to the Giants. No disrespect 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: intended to Aaron Rodgers with that comment. 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: Josh Allen seen drinking one singular beer and he's completely 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: unplayable for the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, because that was basically 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: the Lucar. 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert apparently likes houkah. So now ye'ah being traded. 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh zero hookah policy with the Los Angeles Chargers. 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: So no, in all seriousness, it was a busy week 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: in the NFL. We are not anticipating anything crazy. That 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: is true, by the way we we it was it 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: was the first. It was actually February first, and uh, 40 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: you know, we were talking a little wrestled mania. That 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: was the night that coach cal Royal rumble yeah, and 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: we were talking, you know, coach cal returns to Arkansas 43 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: or to Kentucky. 44 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 4: That feels like a pretty big story. 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: Then at twelve twenty Eastern time, Luca Johnson just got trade. 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: So what we'll be on them. 47 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: We'll be on alert for potential NBA or NFL mega trades. 48 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: But let's start with what was actually a very busy 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: day in the NFL. And let's start with, uh, you 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: know the story that I think. Listen, it's been a 51 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: busy week in the NFL. The Matthew Stafford stuff broke yesterday. 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: We'll get to that here momentarily, but let's start with 53 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: the news of the day. It happened probably about three 54 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: four hours ago. I know VJ and Arnie talked about 55 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: it in the last show. But we do have a 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: little bit of a noteworthy move. Deebo Samuel is traded 57 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: from the San Francisco forty nine ers uh to the 58 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. Ultimately, I'll be real, it doesn't feel that 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: surprising me. Deebo Samuel kind of publicly demanded requested whatever 60 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: a trade on Super Bowl Sunday. 61 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 4: Kind of surprising only fifth round compensation. 62 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: But I'll just be quick because I don't find it 63 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: that surprising he had demanded a trade San Francisco. I 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: think is kind of got to restructure some things as 65 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: they probably get set to pay brock perty here in 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: the next year or so, if not this offseason. But 67 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel is officially a Washington commander. Your first reaction, Jason. 68 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: Martin, Yeah, I mean it's kind of similar to you. 69 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: It didn't really shock me too much. I mean, him 70 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: going to Washington is interesting because I believe at least 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: this was true two three years ago. I imagine it 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: still is. Tory Dandy is kind of the agent for 73 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: wide receivers, at least a certain class of wide receiver, 74 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: and I'm pretty sure he's also mclaurin's agent, or at 75 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: least he was. He's the one that got McLaurin paid 76 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: in Washington originally. So now he's going to have potentially 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: two wide receiver clients in the same place, and that's 78 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: you know, that's something to keep in mind, I guess. 79 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: But more than anything, Debo, it just seemed like it's 80 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: time to run out in San Francisco. Kind of both ways. 81 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: I think they were probably tired of dealing with some 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: of what he was bringing to the table, not on 83 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: the field, but just kind of the attitude. I think 84 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: might have soured them because he clearly wanted to move 85 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: on and so he probably wasn't the best to be 86 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: around this past year, and it was probably it was 87 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: his worst statistical year because he dealt with injuries and 88 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: he's he's a player that gets banged up quite a 89 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: bit because he plays very physically. But if you him healthy, 90 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: I mean, he's still quite a weapon, and he still 91 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: proved that at times last season. Now he gets sent 92 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: to a team that is definitely in let's go win 93 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: right now kind of mode. They've gotten Jaden Daniels. They 94 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: want to surround him with as much talent as humanly 95 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: possible to maximize his rookie window, and this is the 96 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: best way to do it now. I don't think that 97 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: this fixes everything in terms of their wide receiver position 98 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: and trying to get even more. I still think they'll 99 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: probably address sit in the draft, maybe they'll do a 100 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: little bit more even in free agency. But I think 101 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: it makes sense for both teams. I don't I think 102 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: his best days in San Francisco were behind him. I 103 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: don't think that either side was particularly enamored with the 104 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: other at this point, and you're right, I think that 105 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: some things are about to change in San Francisco to 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 3: try to pay the quarterback. And you know, that's why 107 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: I don't believe in windows. And I also believe that 108 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: you better maximize rookie contracts as best as you can, 109 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 3: because when the money comes calling all of a sudden, 110 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: a lot of the things that you had you're not 111 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: going to be able to keep. And I think that's 112 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 3: what we're seeing with San Francisco. It's very possible that 113 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: their last best shot was two years ago. 114 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: And that's that's exactly where I was going to go here. Obviously, 115 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: the Washington angle is obviously very interesting. We know they're 116 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: coming off an NFC Championship Game appearance, we know what 117 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: the future is with Jayden Daniels, and I think we 118 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: all agree, hey, you know, you know, put a lot 119 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: of talent around that guy because he's special. And we'll 120 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 2: see what happens from there. And we'll get back to 121 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: Washington in a second. But I do want to go 122 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: to the San Francisco side of things, because, like you said, 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 2: Deebo stats were down for a number of different reasons 124 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: this year. 125 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 4: You know, he was banged up. 126 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: You know, the offense once Brandon I you go, you know, 127 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: went out was not the same. But you know, this 128 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: has been kind of a conversation I think dating back 129 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: to Frankly, the night that they lost that second Super 130 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 2: Bowl in overtime to the to the Kansas City Chiefs 131 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: two seasons ago, was kind of you know, what was 132 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: going to be left of this team and really how much? 133 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: How much really was left? 134 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: Because you have Trent Williams, a guy who is obviously 135 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: as good as anybody in the league at his position, 136 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 2: but he is currently thirty six years old, going on 137 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 2: thirty seven in July, which is kind of crazy to 138 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: think about. George Kittle is getting closer, inching closer to 139 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: thirty five years old. Do you just like like, like, 140 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: what do we think about San Francisco. I'm not surprised 141 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: at all, by the way, George Kittle is only thirty one, 142 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: so he isn't quite as old as I thought he was, 143 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: but wrong side of thirty Trent Williams closing it on 144 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: thirty eight, But just bigger picture, like like San Francisco, 145 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: where are we at? You know the rams Obviously we're 146 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: going to talk about Stafford in a minute, but Stafford 147 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: is back. You know, the Cardinals were obviously interesting this year, 148 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,559 Speaker 2: and I look at San Francisco and I still think 149 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: I think this is the first move of what I 150 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: think is obviously gonna be just kind of a reshuffling. 151 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by this, obviously, they drafted Ricky Piersoll 152 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: in the first round a year ago. But to me, 153 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: it just feels like they're kind of in between eras 154 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: where they still have some guys that are kind of 155 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: in that last year or two that you know you 156 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: can get something out of them, but can you get 157 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: enough over a seventeen game regular season. But they're also 158 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: not in total rebuild. Ironically, what they kind of feel like, 159 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: honestly is like the Golden State Warriors, where it's like 160 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: they're not really they can't really go young because they 161 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: have just enough juice to kind of make it interesting. 162 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: But they don't feel like the Eagle or even the 163 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: Lions either, even though I know the Lions lost earlier 164 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: than anticipating in the playoffs. That's just kind of the 165 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: vibe I have with San Francisco just feels like, even 166 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: with this move, they're kind of in the middle of 167 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: eros right now, if that makes sense. 168 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they kind of remind me of the 169 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: Rams from two years ago, similar to what you're saying. Yeah, 170 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: I definitely don't see them as the Eagles of the 171 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: Lions anymore. I see them more along the lines of 172 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: a team that still has some of the pieces that 173 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: you remember, but maybe pieces that are on the downside. 174 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 3: Like I think we've probably seen the best of George 175 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 3: Kittle at this point. Nick bos is still on the 176 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: way up, but even Fred Warners had a little bit 177 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 3: of an up and down kind of scenario there. Now, 178 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: maybe their defense is going to get back to more 179 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 3: of a reasonable level, but it does. It just kind 180 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: of feels like they're kind of a second tier team. 181 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: There's still a team that can be dangerous. They're a 182 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: team that can beat you on any given Sunday, but 183 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: they're not a team that I look at the way 184 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: that I did two years ago, where it felt like, man, 185 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: this could be a juggernaut if everything plays out correctly. 186 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: But again, in this league and in sports in general, like 187 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: just because you're supposed to be a juggernaut two years 188 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: ago doesn't mean you're going to be one two years 189 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: from then. And that's why when you get when you 190 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: get there, you've got to cash in. That's why the 191 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 3: Eagles cashing in this year was so big. It's why 192 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: the Bengals not being able to close the deal a 193 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 3: few years ago when they made the Super Bowl against 194 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 3: that Rams team, that that was such a big deal 195 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: because yeah, they should have gotten back again, right Well 196 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: they haven't. They haven't even sniffed it as a matter 197 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: of fact since that point in time. So I think 198 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: that's I definitely do think that's part of it. But 199 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers just seem like they seem like 200 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: a team that we're not going to be talking about 201 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: that's really in the mix. They're kind of closer to 202 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers to me and kind of how I 203 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: see them as opposed to one of those kind of 204 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: more dynamic squads that feels very fresh and new. 205 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: That's kind of an interesting comp of just like a 206 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: team that's just kind of there and kind of on 207 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 2: the right day, they can look really good, but you 208 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: can't really expect him for seventeen games. I actually like 209 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: that comp a lot very quickly. Is there anything else 210 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: to add on Washington? I mean, interesting piece. Like we said, 211 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: Deebo himself, by the way, we're talking about some of 212 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 2: the older forty nine ers players. Deebo now a former 213 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: forty nine er, but he'll be twenty nine years old 214 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: this year, closing in on thirty. You know, he's taken 215 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: a lot of hit you know, I think it's worth noting. 216 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: And I know this is kind of nerding out a 217 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: little bit, but not only has he taken a ton 218 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: of hits. 219 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 4: In the pros. 220 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: Like you and I both watch a lot of SEC football, 221 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: and you go back to when he played at South Carolina, 222 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: he kind of played the exact same way at South 223 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: Carolina that he played in the NFL. So point being 224 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: is that he just turned twenty nine, so he'll be 225 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: thirty basically by the end of next season. Took a 226 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: lot of hits in college, has taken a lot of 227 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: hits in the pros. Again, I think it's a nice 228 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: piece to add to Washington. But he's another one like 229 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: again makes sense for Washington. He is kind of a 230 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: nice piece to have alongside Terry mcclaur and alongside the 231 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: young quarterback. I don't know that he's like this crazy 232 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: needle mover is there anything from the Washington perspective that 233 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: you feel is like super important to add here. 234 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 3: No, not really. I mean I think that they're still 235 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: going to need to do more. But it is a 236 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: good it's a good move because again, you're trying to 237 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 3: do everything you can think of to help out this 238 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 3: rookie quarterback stud and help out Tarry McLaurin along the way, 239 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 3: give him a little bit more space out there. And 240 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: so you bring in a guy that's ace at combat catches. 241 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: He's a guy that seeks out the contact, that has 242 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: a lot of yards after catch potential. But because of that, 243 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: you do always have to worry about his durability. But 244 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: I think it's a risk it's probably worth taking. I mean, 245 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 3: it's a fifth round pick, Like who would you likely 246 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: to get in the fifth round? Sure that was going 247 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 3: to be as valuable to you in the short term 248 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 3: as Deebo Samuel and I would say, the answer is 249 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: probably there isn't one, very. 250 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: Fair Deebo Samuel, not yet officially, by the way, a 251 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: Washington commander. Just with the way the NFL calendar works, 252 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: new Year starts March twelfth, So while you can agree 253 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: in principle to deals, nothing becomes official until March twelfth, 254 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: which is obviously about a week and a half from now. 255 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: We're not anticipating any sort of Mark Williams type situation here, 256 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: but again, it'll be a few weeks before it's official. 257 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel traded to the Washington Commanders for a fifth 258 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: round pick.

Matthew Stafford is officially staying 263 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. What does that mean for Aaron Rodgers, 264 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: What does it mean for the Giants? And frankly, what 265 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: does it mean maybe for the NFL Draft. We're gonna 266 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: discuss all that next.

We're gonna talk about Shador. 281 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 6: I am maybe a king. That's my husband, brother in law. 282 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: I know yo well was in the world.

And apparently Mary Mack and Shador have a have 291 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 4: a secret romance and secret you're my cousin. 292 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 6: You know this? 293 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So apparently her and Shador dating their 294 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: key being a very public on social media because I 295 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: follow both of you on Instagram, I haven't seen very much. 296 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 6: Well, I deactivated my Instagram. 297 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: Actually, well that's all okay, Wow, I guess you're keeping 298 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: a very secret. 299 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: Wow. 300 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, you just yeah, kind of put it online. 301 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 4: Well, i'll tell you what. 302 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 2: We'll give some thoughts on Shador in half a minute here, Mary, 303 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: because I will say the quarterback carousel this week, I 304 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: thought it really got spinning here over the last couple 305 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: of days, Jam Mart matt Stafford obviously on whatever day 306 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: it was it was Friday, re signed with with the 307 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams really quickly. I want I find the 308 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: dominoes from Matthew Stafford much more interesting. Do you have 309 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: any takes on Are you surprised that Stafford re signed? 310 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: I mean to me, it felt to me the whole 311 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: time like a leverage play. It felt to me like 312 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: it didn't really make sense for either side. Are the 313 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 2: Rams really going with Aaron Rodgers? Is Matthew Stafford really 314 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: taking a bag to go to an inferior organization? So 315 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: I want to get the Rogers trickle down, the NFL 316 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: draft trickle down. But from your perspective, is there anything 317 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: surprising or even interesting from the Matthew Stafford returning to 318 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: Los Angeles perspective? 319 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: No, I mean I think that it's what we thought 320 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: because it didn't make sense, Like we tried to lay out. 321 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: You know, maybe he could end up here or here, 322 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: But I mean, if it's not a contender, why would 323 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: he even play some of the storyline. It was just like, 324 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: I mean, who are the Rams gonna go and get 325 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: What are they gonna do that's gonna put them in 326 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 3: better shape? Stafford was not the problem for them last year. 327 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: I just think they wanted to find a way to 328 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: make it work the right way with the restructure and 329 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: all those kinds of things. And look, you often do 330 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: your due diligence. You look around, you're like, well, look, 331 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: maybe there is a better option out there. You find 332 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: out there's not. Okay. I don't know that that's what happened. 333 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: I don't know how serious the actual movement was, or 334 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: if it all was just a leverage play to get 335 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: him in the door for a little bit less money 336 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: to go ahead and figure it all out. It just 337 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 3: it turns out that kind of the way we talked 338 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: about it last week, where it sort of didn't make 339 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: much sense, we said this, this is because I remember 340 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 3: when it happened. You sent me the text and we're like, 341 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: this is kind of a big deal. I'm like, yeah, 342 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: it would be, But in my head. It's just like 343 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: why exactly or we have in this conversation, not us, 344 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: but like why is this a story? Why is this 345 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: a thing that's happening? And I think it kind of 346 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: wasn't a story. It kind of wasn't a thing that 347 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: was happening, and so it this is exactly the way 348 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 3: it should have ended. 349 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: So with that, with the Los Angeles Rams now returning 350 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford, this was interesting to me. This came out 351 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: of Friday from Diana Rassini with Matthew Stafford returning to 352 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: the to the Los Angeles Rams. The New York Giants 353 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: are now shifting their interest to Aaron Rodgers. They've been 354 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: discussing it all week in Indie per sources. Now, I 355 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: actually think there's maybe let me let me ask you this, Okay, 356 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: So because I think the stories kind of go together. 357 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: Do you believe that this means that the Giants are 358 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: not in love with the options that could potentially be 359 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: there for them at number three at the quarterback position 360 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 2: That would obviously likely be Shador Sanders, but maybe cam Ward. 361 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: Do you think it means that they don't like the options? 362 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 2: Do you think it means that they think that quarterbacks 363 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,239 Speaker 2: are going one to two off the board. What do 364 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: you think this means? Because I think you could look 365 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: at it as either one, they just don't like Shador 366 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: as an option, or two. I think you could also 367 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: sit there and say they kind of got burned last year. 368 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: We know that they inquired about trading up for the 369 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: number three pick, which they would have used to draft 370 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: Drake May it did not work out. And I think 371 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: it could also be, Hey, we're afraid the Browns actually 372 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: go quarterback at two, and then all of a sudden, 373 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: there's not really a quarterback on the board for us, 374 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 2: so we'd rather go veteran here. Which of the two? 375 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: Have you thought about it from that angle? I mean, 376 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 2: because the Aaron Rodgers to the Giants thing I don't 377 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: think was something that was really out there until Diana 378 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 2: Rassidi put this out there. So to me, I'm just 379 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 2: interested if it is they don't like the quarterback options 380 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: or they're just afraid there's a chance that neither of 381 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: them will be there at number three. 382 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: Overall, Yeah, I mean, I guess it could be the latter, 383 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 3: but I do think that there's also some some smoke 384 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 3: behind the idea of Abdulla Carter being one of those 385 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: first two picks, if not the number one overall pick, 386 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: then we'll see. It could certainly be Shador and cam Ward, 387 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: probably in reverse order one and two. It could be. 388 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 3: But I think the biggest thing is just we and 389 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 3: I think you know this too, or I feel like 390 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: you feel this way. There's no slam dunk here where 391 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 3: you just know that those two guys can't miss generational, 392 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: going to change your entire life and change your future. 393 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 3: As much as cam Ward is saying confident things, as 394 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 3: much as Shador Sanders says his success is going to 395 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: translate into the NFL, I hope it does as a 396 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: matter of fact. But there are definitely tiers of drafting 397 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,239 Speaker 3: years when it comes to quarterbacks and you look at 398 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: those two guys and it's just like, yeah, somebody's gonna 399 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 3: get probably a solid player here. But I think that 400 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: there is there are more things to look at and say, 401 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: are we sure about those guys than top flight. This 402 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 3: is closer to the Kenny Pickett draft than it is 403 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 3: the Andrew Luck Robert Griffin the third draft, for example, 404 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 3: or just to throw one of them out there. So 405 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 3: I think that's probably more of it is if the 406 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 3: Giants thick, they can get Aaron Rodgers and he wants 407 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 3: to come in and just end his career in a 408 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 3: better position, then he goes back to the NFC. He's 409 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: got Molakue neighbors sitting there, and Brian Dabele was coaching 410 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: for his life this coming year. So maybe that's sort 411 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 3: of the calculus. And at the very least, at least 412 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 3: you're probably kicking the tires on that trying to figure 413 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: out what is our risk factor here, what are the 414 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 3: chances that one and two are going to be those 415 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 3: two quarterbacks? And then comes the drop off nobody wants 416 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: and this in a year where you have five guys, 417 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 3: This is a year where you've got too and then 418 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: you know you probably need to trade down for a 419 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: while if you still need to quarterback at that point 420 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: in time. So I think there's probably a couple of 421 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: different things going on, but one of them is I 422 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 3: just don't think you have a surefire franchise quarterback in 423 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: this draft that we just feel as comfortable with as 424 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: maybe we have in years past. 425 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: Tell you what, I have a lot of thoughts on 426 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: what you said, and really more importantly, what the Aaron 427 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: Rodgers stuff potentially means for the New York Giants. 428 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 4: Why I actually don't like it at all. 429 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: We'll come back and explain that next Before we do, though, 430 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 2: first time this. 431 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 4: Evening, do you want to get out of the news 432 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 4: desk Steve to say your what's trending? 433 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 7: Well, we had quite a women's basketball matchup on Fox 434 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 7: TV tonight's and believe it or not, USC has been 435 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 7: UCLA four straight times, both times last year and both 436 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 7: times this season. Notable because UCLA was the number one 437 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 7: ranked win men's basketball team in the country for most 438 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 7: of this season. They just finished the regular season twenty 439 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 7: seven and two with both losses to SC lost at 440 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 7: home at Paul Pavilion tonight to the women of Troy 441 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 7: eighty to sixty seven. Juju Watkins, who could be National 442 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 7: Player of the Year, had thirty points. SC finishes first 443 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 7: in the Big Ten.

It only leads Oregon State fifty 448 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 7: to forty seven again under twelve minutes left, and its 449 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 7: early second half at number twenty five BYU Cougar's ahead 450 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 7: of West Virginia thirty seven twenty four.

Also, Jason is tweeting back and 508 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: forth with Mary Mack. All Right, so Aaron Rodgers, New 509 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: York Giants plus what does it mean for the NFL Draft? So, 510 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: first of all, I tend to agree with you, Jason. 511 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: I was filling in for Gottlieb yesterday. We had Mark Dominic, 512 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 2: former NFL GM. 513 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 4: On and he's. 514 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: Great at what he does. This is not a criticism, 515 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: it's just an opinion. You know, he probably has a 516 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: more formed opinion than I do because he is in Indianapolis. 517 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 2: But he seemed to think that the Giants going after 518 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback. He believes that they got burned last year, 519 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 2: Drake May. You know they were trying to trade up 520 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: to draft Drake May. It doesn't happen. They end up 521 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 2: kind of on the outside looking in of that quarterback situation. 522 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: I guess they didn't like the guys that would have 523 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: been available to them. Whatever, I tend to agree with you. 524 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: I think it's certainly possible we get quarterback at one two. 525 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 2: But I don't think the Giants are looking at a 526 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: veteran for because of that. I think they're looking at 527 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: a veteran because they believe that's a better option. I 528 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: do disagree with them, though, And my thought on Aaron 529 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: Rodgers is, you know, I think you made a compelling 530 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: case for why it's actually a nice spot for Aaron Rodgers. 531 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: NFC is a little bit easier than the AFC. You know, 532 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 2: Elite neighbors is an emerging star. I kind of look 533 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: at it as the opposite though. You know, you look 534 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: at that division they were in last year with the Jets, 535 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: there were four very winnable games against the Patriots and 536 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. They had a last play schedule. It 537 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: didn't really click. Now, you could argue the NFC's weaker, 538 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 2: but the division's tough, as you know what. You know, 539 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles are obviously Super Bowl champs. We know 540 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 2: about the Commanders. We talked about them. And I'll say 541 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: this too, like I think the Cowboys are a very 542 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: easy punching bag. They also are not quite as bad 543 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: as the record reflected. They didn't have Dak for probably 544 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: sixty five seventy percent of season, so tougher division, fewer 545 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 2: weapons than he had with the New York Jets, And 546 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: you know, I don't think it's gonna be good for him, 547 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: But I guess I look at it from the Giants 548 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: perspective of what is your ceiling with Aaron Rodgers? 549 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 4: And is it enough for you to keep your job? 550 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 3: Like that? 551 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: That, to me is where it gets interesting. 552 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 2: Is like in theory, Okay, Aaron Rodgers, he's an upgrade 553 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 2: over what we had, even if he's not the long 554 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: term answer. Well, to me, first of all, I don't 555 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be significantly better, not with the team 556 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 2: that they have, you know, but even in a best 557 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 2: case scenario. I mean, first of all, I don't even 558 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 2: know what a best case scenario is. What is it 559 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 2: eight and nine, seven and ten. I don't think it's 560 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: some miracle, you know, twelve and five, thirteen and four season, 561 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: But even if you get to like eight and nine, 562 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: really I have kind of two questions about it, which 563 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 2: is one, is it enough for everybody to keep their jobs? 564 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 4: I'm not sure that it is. 565 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: Two. 566 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 4: On top of that, now. 567 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: You're not in a position to draft a quarterback again 568 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: next year, and you gotta roll with Aaron Rodgers again 569 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: the following year. So I just feel like you take 570 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 2: the young quarterback and then you kind of hope that 571 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: you're good enough and you kind of sell, Hey, you 572 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: know he's progressing, he's developing. Do you want to stunt 573 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: his growth by by, you know, by firing us after 574 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 2: one year? Kind of the Caleb William situation in Chicago. 575 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: So I just I don't. I'll just be honest, I 576 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: don't unless you're adamant that you don't believe one of 577 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 2: the two quarterbacks will be available to you at number three. 578 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 2: I just think you roll with the young guy, and 579 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: you hope you strike enough lightning in a bottle that 580 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: you can convince everybody that that quarterback is the long 581 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: term answer and that you are the long term answer 582 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: to coach him. I just the Aaron Rodgers thing just, frankly, 583 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: just doesn't make sense to me. 584 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 3: Listen, I'm with you. I agree you said I've made 585 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: that other case, which I guess you're right, But I 586 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 3: agree with you when it comes to of the two. 587 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 3: I don't think Aaron Rodgers going to the Giants does 588 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: anything for the Giants. And it's not really even because 589 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 3: of the baggage or anything else. It's because he's an 590 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: old quarterback that doesn't have a ton of weapons in 591 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 3: a very difficult division, even if he is familiar with 592 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: that conference. I don't think you're gonna win there, And 593 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 3: for Aaron Rodgers, you're trying to find something that ends 594 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: your career. On a positive note, I think that's the 595 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 3: last place you want to go because I think that's 596 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: the Jets two point zero potentially worse. As a matter 597 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 3: of fact, I don't know where the right answer is, 598 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: where the right fit is if there is one for 599 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, but I would take the flyer on cam 600 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: wardershudor Sanders as well, assuming that they're there. I would 601 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: take the risk because if you don't get those guys, 602 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 3: I don't know that's the end of the world. Because 603 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: as you mention, you get Aaron Rodgers, there are you 604 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: gonna keep your job? I mean, probably not talk to 605 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 3: Robert Sola about it, like just to ask ask people 606 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: in the past how that's worked out. It's not gonna 607 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: be He's not gonna be your scapegoat. If you're Brian 608 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: Dabele and I'm not saying the table would be fighting 609 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 3: to get an Aaron Rodgers at this stage in New York. 610 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 3: But I think you go with one of those two guys, 611 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: one of those two rookies, the one that you like 612 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 3: the best that's there, I guess would probably be the option, 613 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: like whichever one is still sitting there, and you try 614 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 3: to build around that. Like those two guys have big 615 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 3: time pluses and some question marks, but you develop them. 616 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: That's what you're paid to do as a coach, is 617 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: to develop guys. I mean, you take scrubs, but you're 618 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 3: not taking a scrub. You're taking guys. We know we're 619 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 3: very good. Cam wod could have easily won the Heisman 620 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 3: and Shouldorg Sanders did some spectacular stuff. Are they gonna 621 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 3: have some things to work on shore, just like almost 622 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 3: any other rookie, But we already know Aaron Rodgers at 623 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: this point is a known commodity. What we saw in 624 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: New York is what he is, and there is some 625 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 3: good there. But is there enough good that that makes 626 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: sense as opposed to you being as bad as you 627 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 3: were last year? First off, he had no business winning 628 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 3: that game with Drew Locket quarterback. That puts you in 629 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 3: this position in the first place. You guys couldn't even 630 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 3: lose effectively, so that's why you're sitting in this spot. 631 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 3: But I one hundred percent agree with you that I 632 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 3: would much rather as a Giants fan or somebody making 633 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 3: decisions for them. I would rather have one of those 634 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 3: young guys to see what they have. I'd like to 635 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 3: see if maybe we do end up getting a really 636 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: special player at quarterback, as opposed to a guy that's 637 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: just trying to end his career really quickly. 638 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: Again, Domino's falling. Adam Schefter reporting on Friday with Matthew 639 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: Stafford main with the Rams, the Las Vegas Raiders, which 640 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: I thought was always the best spot for Aaron Rodgers, 641 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: they seem to have no interest because they are, according 642 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 2: to Adam Schefter, expected to investigate quote veteran quarterbacks that 643 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 2: include Russell Wilson, Justin Donald, and Sam Donald. 644 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 4: Uh do we do? We both agree Sam Donald is 645 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 4: the best of that group right there? 646 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: For no, no, no, You know why, because I'm starting 647 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: to think the Sam Donald effect that we saw last year, 648 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 3: the Sam Donald to play really well effect, has a 649 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: lot more to do with the guys that he was 650 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 3: throwing to and the. 651 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 4: Guy that was calling Chick a play call, play caller. 652 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: But I tend to agree with you. 653 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 3: I I didn't even got Brock Bowers and he is 654 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 3: a stud and outside of that, I'm not sure I 655 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 3: can name a player on the on the Raiders receiving corps. 656 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 3: That's my division. I'm a Broncos fan, and I'm pretty 657 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: sure I can't name a name a wide receiver. 658 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 4: Yeah no, I actually agree with you. 659 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 2: Well I didn't even hear who do you think the 660 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 2: Raiders starting quarterbacks should come from? 661 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 4: One of those three? You know, less than ideal options? 662 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: Uh? 663 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 4: That's and what about the Steelers here? I mean Steeler 664 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 4: If those guys me. 665 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 3: I'd call Atlanta see if they want Kirk, see if 666 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 3: see if Kirk cousins can come to town. Ah, this 667 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 3: is just I mean, that's where we That's where we are. 668 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: Man, this is so uninspiring. 669 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is still sitting in Minnesota. Oh my god, Yeah, 670 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 3: this is where we are, man, Like this is this 671 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: is real. 672 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 4: And it's why. 673 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 2: And I think you and I talked about this, but 674 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: like I was of the belief, like when the Jets 675 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: stuff happened with Aaron Rodgers of like, oh, you're not 676 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 2: coming back. My first reaction was like, oh, and nobody's 677 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: gonna want Aaron Rodgers, Like why, Like if if you 678 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: can't make it work with the Jets, who stink? Who 679 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: kneed relevance and with all that talent, there's no spot 680 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: for you. And then I was like, wait a second, 681 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 2: there's two surefire first round quarterbacks in this draft, and 682 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 2: you just start doing the mental math of teams that 683 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: need the quarterbacks versus quarterbacks that are available, and it's like, oh, 684 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is actually going to have a spot if 685 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 2: he wants one. And it speaks to that because yeah, 686 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: sam Arnold, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields. 687 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 3: I'd probably go with Justin Fields of the three of them. 688 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 4: I mean, Chip Kelly likes a running quarterbacks, so. 689 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's still got that dynamic speed and 690 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 3: he was able. I mean, look, he played on an 691 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 3: awful team in Chicago and still made some fun things happen. 692 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 3: I think that Russell Wilson with Brock Bauers and receiver A, 693 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 3: receiver B and receiver C. I'm not sure. I'm not 694 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 3: sure that's the answer. I certainly don't think Aaron Rodgers. 695 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 3: And man, you know what erin if you've just left 696 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 3: DeVante Adams where he was, I know, circle back. Yeah, 697 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 3: all right, it's not good man. 698 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Aeron Torres, Jason Martin Broadcasting live from 699 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: the tyreck dot Com Studios. Quarterback carousel. Officially, the quarterback 700 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 2: train just officially went off the tracks because we are 701 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 2: deep in the weeds on Sam Darnold versus Russell Wilson. 702 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 4: That is a place that I don't even want to be. 703 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 2: So I can't even imagine what it's like to be 704 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 2: a Raiders fan or a Giants fan. Right now, we 705 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 2: will come back. I'll throw a little curveball at you, Jason. 706 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 2: I want to talk about a pretty big story in 707 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: the NFL. Could we be seeing a major rule change? 708 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 2: And should we see a major rule change? We'll discuss 709 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 2: that next Fox Sports Tredy. 710 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody. 711 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio erratoris Jason Martin, broadcasting live from the 712 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 2: tire rack dot Com Studios. As I said, Mary Mack 713 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 2: usually gives us good music to lead into the segment 714 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 2: to discuss what we're discussing. So apparently now we're gonna 715 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: talk about the Saint Louis Cardinals bullpen for the rest 716 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 2: of the hour. Yeah, man, Saint Lunatics. Baby, all right? 717 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 2: What I do want to talk about? Jmart Okay, so 718 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 2: I don't I don't think I get like mad very 719 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 2: often and I don't know that I'm gonna get mad here, 720 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 2: but there's something that, in my opinion, is so freaking 721 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 2: stupid that it has to be called out for its stupidity. 722 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 2: And maybe you disagree, and I'm curious to actually to 723 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: hear your perspective. I I think this argument to ban 724 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 2: the tush push and the Green Bay Packers whining about 725 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 2: it is the dumbest, softest thing that I have ever 726 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 2: heard in my life. 727 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 3: And let me explain. 728 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 2: I guess I sort of understand if you're really making 729 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 2: the argument that it isn't safe. 730 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 4: And da da da dah whatever. 731 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: Okay, what I think is very obvious is that the 732 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles have perfected it. It's essentially unstoppable, and nobody 733 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 2: has figured out how to take advantage of this specific 734 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: situation quite like the Eagles. And by the way, you 735 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 2: know how I know it's because I saw Josh Allen 736 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: unable to pick up a first down on like twelve 737 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 2: straight fourth and one and third and one short yards 738 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 2: in the in the AFC playoffs. They clearly did not 739 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: know how to run that play. And so to me, Jason, 740 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 2: what this feels like arguing that we should eliminate the 741 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 2: tush push because the Eagles are too good at it. 742 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 2: And I know that's not really argument. Everyone's gonna claim, Oh, 743 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 2: it's not safe, it's not this, it's not that. It's 744 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 2: basically the equivalent, in my opinion, of Oh, Patrick Mahomes 745 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 2: can throw the ball sixty yards downfield on a diamond, 746 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 2: hit his receiver and stride. That's unfair. We need to 747 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 2: take out the sixty yard bomb. We need to make 748 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 2: that against the rules. If I said that, you'd say, 749 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Well, essentially, that's 750 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 2: what we're saying about the Philadelphia Eagles, is that they 751 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 2: are so good at something that we have to eliminate 752 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 2: a rule from the rule book. I think it's stupid. 753 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 2: I think it's dumb. I hate the I don't really 754 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: care that we're having the discussion. I think it's just 755 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: a stupid discussion in general. Where do you stand on 756 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 2: the uh? 757 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 3: I hope it gets banned. WHOA. 758 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 4: I knew you were going to say that. 759 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 3: Why because it's boring, Because it's bad for an entertainment standpoint, 760 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 3: Like every plays a game. 761 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 4: It's not everything. 762 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 3: Everything that you just said I agree with generally, but 763 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 3: I look at that and I'm just like, man, that's 764 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 3: off football, Like that's the argument about the sixty yard 765 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 3: like pinpoint pass and all this other kind of stuff, 766 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 3: like the toush push stuff is just annoying, Like it's 767 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 3: irritating to watch. Now, you're right, they've perfected it. But 768 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 3: I mean this has happened in sports before. I mean 769 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 3: when Tiger Woods was dominant they started doing what they started, 770 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 3: tigerproofing the courses for the entertainment value and because of 771 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 3: all the other things that went into it. Like I 772 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 3: look at this and I just say, I'd just rather 773 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 3: not see it. I am not entertained at all by it. 774 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 3: I hate the idea that essentially it's first to nine 775 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 3: for the Eagles every single time. And it's not really 776 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 3: a bias against them as much as it is. It's 777 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: the pushing of it that's the like go ahead and 778 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 3: quarterback sneak all you want. It's the other portion of 779 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 3: it that to me is just I just roll my 780 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 3: eyes out it all the time. It gives me an 781 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 3: easy reason to dislike Philadelphia, like just because they have 782 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 3: it in their bag. But like again, everything that you 783 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 3: said I generally agree with, Like your argument about the 784 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,919 Speaker 3: Packers and all this. I just hope it gets banned 785 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 3: because I don't want to see it personally, Like, I'm 786 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 3: just I do not enjoy watching that in the midst 787 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 3: of a football game. That whole deal in the uh 788 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 3: was it the Packers game where they had the nose 789 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 3: the Commander's game or four times in a row like 790 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 3: that sets so stupid. I don't want to see that. 791 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 2: Well, they well, it was only it was only so 792 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 2: many times because the Commanders kept jumping off sides. 793 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but because that's the only way you 794 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 3: could possibly stop it. Like again, that's just to me, 795 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 3: that's just bad from an entertainment standpoint. I don't want 796 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 3: to see that. May not be a great argument on 797 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 3: my part. I just I hate it, So I kind 798 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 3: of hope it gets banned. 799 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hate to say it, but there's no 800 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 2: real argument to there's no real counter argument to my 801 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 2: argument of it's all like, like, there's no real counter 802 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 2: I can't come back and be like, well I disagree. 803 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 4: It's like it is just your personal opinion. You just 804 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 4: don't like it. 805 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I sit there and say it is 806 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: a strategic advantage. It isn't perfect, but it's two three, 807 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 2: four plays a game. Now it sucks that you know, 808 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 2: you get third and two and it's basically a rap, 809 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 2: it's an automatic first down. But I also think the 810 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 2: counter to that is, don't let Philadelphia get in third 811 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 2: and two situations and it won't be an issue. And 812 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 2: I think the other thing too is it's clear, based 813 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 2: on what I saw with Josh Allen and the Bills 814 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 2: against the Chiefs, that that not everybody has perfected.

Barnie Fratto 832 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: of The Bernie Fratto Show follows us. 833 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 4: Jaymart. 834 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 2: We talked a lot by the way football in our 835 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 2: one the Stafford News. What does it mean for Aaron 836 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 2: Rodgers combine. We'll revisit football in just a little bit. 837 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 3: But it was. 838 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 2: Certainly a busy week in the NBA hot take discourse 839 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 2: culture this week. Really it started listen, we don't have 840 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 2: to play the Channing Fry sound. Let me even backtrack. 841 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 2: I think it really started with Anthony Edwards basically saying 842 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 2: I don't want to be the face of the league. 843 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 2: You know, you know, he basically said it all Star weekend. Hey, 844 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 2: you know, that's Victor's job. I'll let Victor woman y'ama 845 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 2: handle that. Then from there Channing Fry had had actually 846 00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 2: a very interesting sound, and maybe we do play that 847 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 2: a little bit later where he basically said that the 848 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 2: NBA is to beholden to nostalgia. In other words, basically like, 849 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 2: you know, we can't celebrate the current players because of 850 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: the fact that we're still stuck on what Michael Jordan 851 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 2: did forty years ago, what Lebron or what Kobe did, 852 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 2: you know, fifteen years ago, and we just need to 853 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 2: celebrate the current players for what they are. And I 854 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 2: think Channing Fry actually brought up some pretty interesting points 855 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 2: about the rules and how you know, it's the same sport, 856 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 2: but it's not really the same sports. So that was 857 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 2: where the discourse started, but I certainly think Lebron did 858 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 2: take it to another level. After the Lakers win on 859 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 2: Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lebron was asked about 860 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 2: just the really you know Channing Fry's comments Anthony Edwards 861 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 2: saying he didn't want to be the face of the league. 862 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 2: Of course, the Lakers had just played the Minnesota Timberwolves. 863 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 2: Here is what he had to say, Mary Mack play 864 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 2: the sound. 865 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 8: I mean, it's unfortunate, but like I know, when that, 866 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 8: why do you want to be the face of a 867 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 8: league when all the all the put all the people 868 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,479 Speaker 8: that you know that cover our game and talk about 869 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 8: our game or the day to day based on everybody, 870 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 8: I mean, I have that responsibility. That's it's just weird. 871 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 8: It's weird energy from the people that. 872 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 9: You know. 873 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 8: I don't know, but it changing. 874 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 3: He said it. 875 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 8: He said it perfectly, couldn't set it no better, but 876 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 8: and said he don't want it. I didn't. I mean, 877 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 8: obviously I didn't ask for it, but Une there was 878 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 8: a responsibility for me not only to my family, my friends, 879 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,280 Speaker 8: my community, and and and whoever that was gonna follow 880 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 8: my my my journey throughout my career, not only in 881 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 8: Ohio when I started there, but all all over America 882 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 8: and all over the world when. 883 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 3: I traveled all over the world. 884 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 8: So I've always taken that seriously and understand and understood 885 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 8: from the beginning what what being a professional. 886 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 3: Was all about and being a role model was all about. 887 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 8: So tried to hold that with the utmost uh respecting 888 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 8: and and honor, and but I feel I understand you 889 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 8: can not completely understand. 890 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 3: This is weird energy. 891 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 8: You learn it comes to it. 892 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 2: That was Lebron James on being the face of the League, 893 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards essentially saying that he did not want that responsibility. Jamar, 894 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it to you in a second, but 895 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: let me say this is this is my personal opinion. 896 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 3: Again. 897 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 4: I want to give you the Florida kind of share 898 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 4: what you think. 899 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 2: I think it's easy and I think it's low hanging 900 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 2: fruit for people in the media or for people in 901 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 2: our space to say, well, you know, I mean, you 902 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 2: get paid one hundred million dollars and uh, you know, 903 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 2: you you have generation of wealth and you're a billionaire, 904 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 2: and like, stop complaining. 905 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 4: And it's like, to a degree, I do understand that. 906 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 2: I also do want to defend Lebron James here a 907 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: little bit because the term that he used is there's 908 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 2: quote weird energy around the face of the league conversation, 909 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 2: and I actually happen to agree with him. I actually 910 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 2: happen to feel like, listen, we can pick apart Lebron 911 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 2: for whatever, Dad this and that, but he has been 912 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,959 Speaker 2: the face of the league one and two. 913 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 4: I do think. 914 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 2: And by the way, this is not a new take 915 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 2: based on Lebron's thoughts. I have always thought. 916 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 4: It is a weird, weird, weird. 917 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 2: Way to cover sports to immediately the second Lebron does anything, 918 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 2: immediately either say well he did this, but MJ did that, 919 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 2: or well he did this so this means that he 920 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 2: must be better than MJ. Either way, It's just always 921 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 2: been weird to me that like the immediate default anytime 922 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 2: Lebron does anything is to compare him to a different 923 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 2: player from a different era that played a different position. 924 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 2: And let's be honest, most of the time it is negative. 925 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 2: Most of the time it's talking about how Lebron did this, 926 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 2: but MJ did that. 927 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 4: And so I'll defend Lebron. 928 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 2: I actually think what he said, the term he used 929 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 2: weird energy is pretty on point, and I actually, for 930 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 2: once in my life, kind of side with Lebron on 931 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 2: this one. 932 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 3: Look, so do I one. As a matter of fact, 933 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 3: I understand why some people are going to try to 934 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 3: pick that apart, but I think they're wrong. I think 935 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 3: that and it's not just Lebron, but he's in the 936 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 3: unique position to say because it's it's attacked him more 937 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 3: than it's attacked anybody else. But there is something about 938 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 3: the NBA specifically that seems to bring this comparison and 939 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 3: this kind of critique on that doesn't happen in other sports. 940 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 3: You don't only see this in hockey. You don't really 941 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 3: see this in baseball. It's not like it's not like 942 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,839 Speaker 3: Ronald Acunya goes out and has a great season it's like, yeah, 943 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 3: I mean, he's no Joe DiMaggio, Like that doesn't happen. 944 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 3: It's it's not a thing like there's no reason, like 945 00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 3: it's okay for people to exist in their own space. 946 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 3: Most people do not bury Josh Allen because he's not 947 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 3: Joe Montana for example, and stuff like that, like he's 948 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 3: allowed to just be Josh Allen. And I think you 949 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 3: look at a guy like Josh Allen, I think that's 950 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 3: fairly comparable to Anthony Edwards for example, a guy that 951 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 3: you look at and say, man, that guy could be 952 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 3: the face of the league. That guy has all the 953 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 3: talent in the world. He jumps out of the gym 954 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 3: and look at the athleticism of Josh Allen, look at 955 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 3: his arm, all that kind of stuff. It's all there. 956 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 3: But in basketball it is you're always gonna be like 957 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 3: compared to Jordan, which is just strange, or it's gonna be, man, 958 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 3: you don't have the killer instinctive Kobe. It's like yeah, 959 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 3: but you like they're never allowed to live in their 960 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 3: own skin, Like none of these guys are allowed to 961 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 3: live in their own skin because they're immediately compared to 962 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 3: people from the past. And it is. I do think 963 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 3: it's unique to the NBA, though, Like it's not that 964 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 3: other sports aren't critiqued, it's they're not critiqued this way 965 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,399 Speaker 3: this reg lily. Like in the NBA, Lebron James has 966 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 3: to be just beyond tired of never being able to 967 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 3: do it as well as Jordan did it in the 968 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 3: eyes of everybody. Like I'm a Jordan guy, right, Like, 969 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 3: it's always gonna be Jordan number one, Lebron number two 970 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 3: for me. Right, That's just always the way it's gonna be. 971 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 3: There's not anything Lebron can do at this point to 972 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 3: change that in me. I already know what I feel 973 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 3: about Lebron, But when I see Lebron, I'm like, I 974 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,720 Speaker 3: don't sit there and say, well, I mean, he's not Jordan, 975 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 3: but I don't. I still look at Lebron James dropping 976 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 3: forty like he did on Thursday, and I'm just blown 977 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,800 Speaker 3: away by his ability to still do that at his age, 978 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 3: and I'm so grateful I've gotten to watch his entire 979 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 3: NBA career. There's been a lot of things about Lebron 980 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 3: James I have not liked off the floor and sometimes 981 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 3: on the floor, but I've been privileged to watch this 982 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 3: dude's entire career, and he's lived up to every bit 983 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 3: of the hype that he had, which was unthinkable hype, 984 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 3: you know, because we knew who this dude was when 985 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 3: he was like a sophomore in high school and he's 986 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 3: on the front of Sports Illustrated long before you know, 987 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 3: he ever joined the NBA. So I look at it 988 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 3: from that, from that perspective, and I say the same thing, 989 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 3: like I understand what he's saying, and I also understand 990 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 3: he's defending Anthony Edwards, Like Anthony Edwards is not saying 991 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: I can't handle the pressure. He's saying I just don't 992 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 3: want it, because why would you like what exactly? And 993 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 3: Channing Fry. We don't have to play the audio, but 994 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 3: Channing Fry nailed it. It's just like, you're gonna get 995 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,360 Speaker 3: trashed real well, you're gonna get trashed because the dudes 996 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 3: that you it's this weird hypothetical where well, he couldn't 997 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 3: beat Jordan in one on one, yeah, but they're not 998 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 3: gonna play. So why why is that always where we 999 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 3: go to? I think it's I think it's disrespectful when 1000 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 3: it does a disservice to basketball as a whole in 1001 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 3: the NBA game. 1002 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 2: You know what, I We're gonna get up the Channing 1003 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 2: Fry sound in a second, because I do think it 1004 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 2: adds even more context to it. 1005 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 4: Just pre give me a thumbs up when we have 1006 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 4: it ready. And I I so I agree with everything. 1007 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:02,240 Speaker 2: And you know when when I look at at Lebron's quotes, 1008 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 2: is you know, first of all, I agree. And by 1009 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 2: the way, like you go to the Anthony Edwards stuff, 1010 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 2: it's like, in this world, you know, you can make 1011 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 2: three hundred, four hundred and five hundred million dollars and 1012 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 2: just be a really really really good player without that burden, 1013 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,280 Speaker 2: without that pressure, without that whatever. And so I'm totally 1014 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 2: with you. Is I just think that Listen again, I 1015 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be easy to say, oh, you know, 1016 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 2: blame Lebron. Oh, Lebron. He's always wanting, He's always this, 1017 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 2: he's always that. But I've always thought the coverage was weird. 1018 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 2: I've always thought, you know, that conversation was weird. And listen, 1019 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 2: I understand like because Lebron said something to the effect of, 1020 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 2: you know, and I think he tweeted this, like where's 1021 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 2: the coverage of OKC worth cover this. I'll tell you 1022 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 2: what before we get back to Lebron, I do think 1023 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 2: it's worth noting he was responding in some ways to 1024 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 2: some Channing Fry sound. 1025 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 4: Uh, you know, cover your ears because there's a lot 1026 00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 4: of expletives. 1027 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 2: But I thought Channing Fry kind of set up this 1028 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 2: entire conversation with some very interesting comments earlier this week. 1029 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 10: Nostalgia is killing the NBA. That nineties basketball Michael Jordan 1030 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 10: and Kobe was not as clean as y'all think it was. 1031 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 10: Y'all forget that Jordan left the league for two years. 1032 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 10: Y'all forget that Kobe rest in peace, quit on his 1033 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 10: team in the playoffs and did not shoot the basketball. 1034 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 10: So all this Kobe Jordan, oh, he's not this, he's 1035 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 10: not that. That is propaganda every great player, whether that's 1036 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 10: a wemby Ron, you know Steph. 1037 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 3: This that this that. 1038 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 9: You know they compare them to forty years ago. The 1039 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 9: rules weren't even the same. You're not really watching help 1040 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,799 Speaker 9: side defense. Who's doing this? What is this rule? What 1041 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,400 Speaker 9: is that rule? You're not watching? Nobody celebrates these new people, 1042 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 9: So why the would anybody wanna be the face of 1043 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,880 Speaker 9: this league? You're gonna get on on every network for 1044 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 9: not being somebody from forty years ago. It's ridiculous. It 1045 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 9: is unfair. Bron is one of the greatest players ever 1046 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 9: to play. Stephen Curry is one of the greatest players 1047 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 9: ever to play. Jannis is one of the great Jokic 1048 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 9: and you know what we do, we talk about Michael 1049 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 9: Jordan all this superstar era is over. 1050 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 10: The card cap called a second apron, it's over. Teams 1051 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 10: are gonna take over. 1052 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,359 Speaker 4: A lot there ja. 1053 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, he's I gotta say, yeah, it's hard to 1054 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 3: deny what he's saying is right, Like I mean for real, 1055 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,319 Speaker 3: and it is again, like I said, it's unique to 1056 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 3: the NBA in this way, Like we're not talking about 1057 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,399 Speaker 3: Johnny Unitas on a regular basis. We know how good 1058 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 3: he was. I mean, NBA players, NBA critiques even invoke 1059 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 3: like Bill Russell and stuff like that when we're talking 1060 00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 3: about like what are we doing, like why are we 1061 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 3: doing this? Like the NBA has plenty of problems, believe it, 1062 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 3: if you listen to the show on a regular basis, 1063 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 3: we make no bones about that. And we also make 1064 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 3: no bones about the fact that we love the NBA 1065 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 3: and we hate that it's found itself in this state 1066 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 3: over this past handful of years. But I do think 1067 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 3: that these arguments are landing, like these arguments are these 1068 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 3: are blows that are striking, like these are some haymakers 1069 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 3: coming from Channing for eye and what Lebron is saying, 1070 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,439 Speaker 3: all this stuff makes a lot of sense. Like at 1071 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 3: some point, we gotta let Michael Jordan be retired, like 1072 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 3: once that uh, once the documentary came out, we can 1073 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 3: move on now, Like I think at this point, let's 1074 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 3: go ahead and let the NBA. Let's let him off 1075 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,479 Speaker 3: the hook here. Let's go ahead and let the NBA 1076 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 3: continue to exist post Michael Jordan where he isn't invoked 1077 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 3: in every conversation. And look, there's a dude who used 1078 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 3: to work on Fox on TV for several years that 1079 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 3: pretty much made his salary by destroying Lebron James for 1080 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 3: every good thing that he did, by backhanding it. 1081 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 2: No, and that to me, not just the MJ versus 1082 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 2: Lebron thing. Let me ask you a question, like when 1083 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 2: has it always been this way? Not just MJ versus Lebron, 1084 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 2: but like, oh, we have to compare eras and we 1085 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 2: have to be cause I don't remember it being this 1086 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 2: way in like the nineties and early two thousands when 1087 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,240 Speaker 2: we all love the NBA. And maybe I'm totally wrong, 1088 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 2: but you and I have talked about this. It's not 1089 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 2: just the MJ versus Lebron, it's the. 1090 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 4: You know, well, you. 1091 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 2: Know now that Kad has won his this many he 1092 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 2: moves into my number eight on my top ten players 1093 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:37,319 Speaker 2: all time list. 1094 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 4: And again, you can't compare eras period. 1095 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,840 Speaker 2: By the way, JJ Reddicks doing a great job coaching 1096 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers, But when he said that Kyrie, 1097 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 2: you know, Bob Coosey was playing against a bunch of 1098 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,720 Speaker 2: plumbers and firefighters. It's like it was the stupidest comment 1099 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 2: ever at the time, because again you can't compare eras. 1100 00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 2: You could flip it the other way. Bob Kozy was 1101 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 2: playing against plumbers and firefighters. He was also riding trains 1102 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 2: to games, okay, like he was also wearing Chuck Taylor's 1103 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,799 Speaker 2: He also didn't have Charter jets, and so it's just 1104 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,479 Speaker 2: like it's always been stupid. But I don't I don't 1105 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 2: feel like until probably really, I don't feel like until 1106 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 2: the Lebron era that it was like this. I don't 1107 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 2: feel like when Kobe and Shack were winning titles in 1108 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 2: two thousand and one, it was like, well, that's great, 1109 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 2: but how do Kobe and Shack compare to Russell and 1110 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 2: Havelchek thirty? You know, It's like I don't remember that happening, 1111 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 2: So I don't even know where I'm going. But that's 1112 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 2: the part that drives me crazy. It's like where did 1113 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 2: we Where did we decide that this is the way 1114 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 2: that we have to cover basketball? 1115 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I think one of the first 1116 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 3: times that I remember ever hearing it was when Kevin 1117 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,880 Speaker 3: Durant was being compared to George Gervin. This was happening 1118 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 3: like regularly, and as a thunderfan, I endured this over 1119 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,279 Speaker 3: and over and over again. And George Garvin's a little 1120 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 3: bit before my time, the iceman, unbelievable scorer, and so 1121 00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 3: it's just like he's the best scorer I've seen since Gervin. 1122 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 3: He might be one of the top six scoring scoring 1123 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 3: players in NBA history. And also other kind of stuff's 1124 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 3: like what why are we doing this? Like how often 1125 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 3: like we don't even have to go back to like 1126 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 3: Havlichak and stuff like that. But like how often are 1127 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 3: we let's do an all time top twenty NFL quarterbacks 1128 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,959 Speaker 3: list to find out where Troy Aikman compares to Justin 1129 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 3: Herbert or some like nonsense like that, Like it's just 1130 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 3: like middle of the road guys from the nineties or 1131 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 3: former champions or something like that. They get invoked in 1132 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 3: all of this for some unknown reason. It's like that's 1133 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,280 Speaker 3: not the sport anymore. And it also this, it doesn't 1134 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:47,280 Speaker 3: happen in college basketball either. It only seems to happen 1135 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 3: in the NBA, Like I'm not comparing game winners like well, 1136 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't Keith Smart in eighty seven for 1137 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 3: Indiana over Syracuse or something like that, Like yeah, we 1138 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 3: remember late in there's stuff, and we go ahead and 1139 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 3: watch the highlights of some of these great games through 1140 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 3: the years and all this stuff. But it's not like 1141 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 3: we're comparing Cooper Jamal Mashack to Tyler Hansborough or something like. 1142 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 3: There's no need to do any of that. 1143 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one's like, oh, Cooper Flag needs at least 1144 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 2: two more wins before I could put his freshman season 1145 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 2: ahead of Zion's. It's like, right, that doesn't exist, And 1146 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 2: I think I'll just wrap on this too, is like 1147 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 2: I just think you know, you brought up Josh Allen earlier, 1148 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 2: and like any criticism of Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson 1149 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 2: or whatever, it's compared to his contemporaries. That's the worst part, right, Yes, 1150 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 2: And it's just I just I don't get it.

NBA media, Oh, they are ready for the 1259 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 2: Lakers Renaissance. They're already planning the parade here in Los Angeles. 1260 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 2: Are you a believer in the Los Angeles Lakers, which, 1261 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 2: as Disager said, have won seven straight games or five 1262 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 2: straight games, excuse me, and are now in third place 1263 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,160 Speaker 2: in the Western Conference standings. 1264 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 3: No, I'm not. Oh, at the very least, I'm not 1265 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 3: to the extent that I'm seeing on TV all week, 1266 01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 3: Like it just seems like they go have that, they 1267 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 3: go have a couple of games in a row where 1268 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 3: Lucas smiling instead of looking like the most unhappy person 1269 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 3: anyone's ever seen, which is kind of what you would 1270 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 3: I was. I was gonna send you a message earlier 1271 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 3: in the week and just be like, man, he just 1272 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,960 Speaker 3: doesn't look happy, does he? And then they started to win. 1273 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 3: But then it's like they can win a championship this year. 1274 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 3: They're contenders right now. Who can beat them? Look at 1275 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,400 Speaker 3: that if they stack up with the seventy four Celtics. No, 1276 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 3: I'm kidding, Yeah, like all of this, all of this 1277 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 3: stuff is out here. I'm like, can we slow down 1278 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 3: for about five seconds? Remember how old Lebron James is? 1279 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 3: His body Eventually it isn't as indestructible as it was 1280 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 3: earlier in his career. I thought Luca was out of shape, 1281 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 3: Like I thought that he was an injury risk waiting 1282 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,280 Speaker 3: to happen all of a sudden, are we playing defense now? 1283 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,960 Speaker 3: Like has all the have all the things that have changed, 1284 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 3: they didn't do enough, Like, yes, you picked up Luka 1285 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 3: Dancic and that is certainly gonna make you a better 1286 01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 3: basketball team. We agree on that side, but there's still 1287 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 3: other things that needed to be done around this. And 1288 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 3: it's not that I don't think there's any chance that 1289 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 3: the Lakers can make some noise in the playoffs. And 1290 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 3: you're right, and you said this earlier. Retick has done 1291 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,040 Speaker 3: a very nice job, but like, I think we need 1292 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 3: to slow a role here just a little bit. This 1293 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,439 Speaker 3: feels like wish casting to me, coming from the media, 1294 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 3: This feels like they desperately want this to happen, so 1295 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 3: they are trying to will it into existence by the 1296 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 3: way that they are talking about this, and it's kind 1297 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 3: of it's just rubbed me the wrong way in that 1298 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 3: it kind of feels embarrassing because it's just like, why 1299 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 3: are we fawning all over this? Like it is March 1300 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,560 Speaker 3: the first let's wait and see this play out. There 1301 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 3: are much better teams in the Western Conference than the 1302 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Lakers right now. Now we get to the playoffs, 1303 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 3: we'll see. I have no idea. They certainly are better 1304 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 3: right now than they were, But I just feel like 1305 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 3: the adulation is unearned at this point. 1306 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 2: So I happen to totally and I think a couple 1307 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 2: of things. One two things can be true is that 1308 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 2: what Lebron is doing at forty years old, we all 1309 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 2: understand is unbelievable. Okay, nobody is denying that, nobody is whatever. 1310 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 2: But it's like, every single time the guy goes for third, 1311 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, do you people understand he's four and 1312 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 2: eight years old. It's like, yeah, we get it, we 1313 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 2: get it. And he's still one of the four or 1314 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,200 Speaker 2: five six best players on the planet. 1315 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 4: It's crazy. 1316 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 2: My bigger issue is does he have the energy at 1317 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 2: forty years old to basically bring it every single night 1318 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 2: in four straight seven game series up boards of twenty 1319 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 2: eight high leverage playoff games. And the history tells us 1320 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,479 Speaker 2: that he doesn't. And I understand, Oh, well, you have Luca, 1321 01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 2: Now that's what Luca's for. Well, he had Anthony Davis 1322 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 2: before and it's like, it's not as though the team 1323 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 2: was bereft of talent. And I just go back to 1324 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:55,440 Speaker 2: two years ago, and I don't know how much you 1325 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 2: remember this, J Mark, but they they they they ended 1326 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 2: up beating the Warriors in round two. They end up 1327 01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 2: making the Western Conference Finals. And Lebron every game would 1328 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 2: go off in the first half and just run out 1329 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 2: of gas in the second half. And that's not a knock, 1330 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 2: that's not a tear down Lebron. That's he was thirty 1331 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 2: eight at the time and now he's two years older. 1332 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 2: And so I just I just like won, like I know, 1333 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 2: we want to crown everybody everything, and JJ Reddick's the 1334 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:26,959 Speaker 2: best this and JJ Reddick's been awesome. I'm not gonna 1335 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,080 Speaker 2: try to diminish what he's done. Darvin Ham took them 1336 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,920 Speaker 2: to the Western Conference Finals two years ago. We're not 1337 01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:37,320 Speaker 2: talking about Darvin Ham did this in twenty thirteen. It 1338 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 2: was two seasons ago. What we are seeing is what 1339 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 2: we saw two seasons ago, Okay, And on top of it, 1340 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 2: we also saw that as the playoffs went on, Lebron 1341 01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 2: just wore down. And so I understand that's part of 1342 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 2: why you have Luca, but it's not as though he 1343 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 2: didn't have talent around him before. And then again, that 1344 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 2: is on top of all of the other whole that 1345 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 2: are there, specifically in the front court, where do you 1346 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 2: just have the size and physicality to deal with Jokich 1347 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 2: specifically who has given you all sorts of fits through 1348 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 2: the years. That doesn't include Okac, which is young. You know, 1349 01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 2: obviously they got they you know, they're a year removed 1350 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 2: from losing to Dallas, and I think kind of learning 1351 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 2: some things. Memphis is back with John Morant, and I'm 1352 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 2: not saying the Lakers can't do it, but I think, 1353 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,680 Speaker 2: to your point, until they actually do do it, can 1354 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 2: we stop? And I think the word he use this 1355 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 2: correct wish casting, like it's okay to say, like, wow, 1356 01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 2: they're may be a little bit better than we thought. Wow, 1357 01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,439 Speaker 2: Luca maybe adds another dimension when he figures it all out. 1358 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 2: But like this rush to just crown them is unbelievable. 1359 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 2: By the way, how about this is just a perfect 1360 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 2: example what I'm talking about. 1361 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 4: Last night. 1362 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 2: This was Friday night, so you know, two nights ago 1363 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 2: depending on where you are, but they played the Clippers 1364 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 2: at home, had played the Timberwolves the night before. They 1365 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 2: end up beating the Clippers, who are a good but 1366 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,360 Speaker 2: not great team. They hold on. Oh, by the way, 1367 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 2: Kawhi just returning from injury. So it's not as though 1368 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 2: you got the best version of the Los Angeles Clippers 1369 01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,200 Speaker 2: and you had to hold on a game after a 1370 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 2: big win over Minnesota. 1371 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 4: So the point is they did it two nights in 1372 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 4: a row. 1373 01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,600 Speaker 2: But is that something that you can consistently do for 1374 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 2: four straight rounds? Because again, to your point, j Mart, 1375 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 2: everybody's just putting them into the NBA Finals or you know, 1376 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 2: setting up the trophy celebration. It's like, just just got 1377 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 2: a lot of long steps ago. We got a lot 1378 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 2: of steps to go. 1379 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:37,640 Speaker 3: That's I'm trying. Yeah again, like this is this was 1380 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 3: a good move for him. We know this. This is 1381 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 3: why we all thought, Yeah, something's weird about this whole 1382 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 3: trade things, why there's been video after I'm. 1383 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 4: Still ready to listen to conspiracy theories, but me. 1384 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:47,960 Speaker 3: Too, I'm fascinated. 1385 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 4: Can I just jumped on that. 1386 01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 3: The detailed people have put into it? 1387 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 4: Can I just jump in on that really quick? 1388 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1389 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 2: I was telling somebody today, listen, I'm not a conspiracy 1390 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 2: theory guy. And the more that I get into it, 1391 01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,440 Speaker 2: the more I just think Nico Harrison is completely incompetent 1392 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 2: at his job. But I will also say that in 1393 01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 2: what was it's just crazy that in what was the 1394 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 2: least interesting NBA season of any of our lives, where 1395 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:18,839 Speaker 2: the biggest story was probably Bronnie James, all of a sudden, 1396 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 2: a superstar in his prime gets traded to the Los 1397 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers and now they're basically unbeatable and people think 1398 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 2: they can win the championship. I'm just saying, I'm not 1399 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 2: saying there's a conspiracy theory. I do think it's just 1400 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,320 Speaker 2: Nico Harrison doesn't know what he's doing. But I could 1401 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 2: be talked into this more and more every day with 1402 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 2: as well as the Lakers are playing with a guy 1403 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,679 Speaker 2: that clearly should not have been traded for the package 1404 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,599 Speaker 2: that he was traded for anyway, enough from Taurres. 1405 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, no, I agree. I agree. Like I said, 1406 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 3: I'm here for it, I'm here for all of it, 1407 01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 3: and a lot of it makes sense. And those are 1408 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 3: the best conspiracy theories, the ones that actually, like you're saying, man, 1409 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 3: you know what, that actually could happen. All that stuff 1410 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,920 Speaker 3: could happen, but the same token, like, we need to 1411 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 3: let the season play out, but let's not. Let's not 1412 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,720 Speaker 3: try to will this into existence because they're actually going 1413 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 3: to have to go win games, and they're gonna have 1414 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,800 Speaker 3: to win games against pretty good basketball teams, teams that 1415 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 3: are experienced and more cohesive and have deeper rosters. So 1416 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 3: we'll see. Like it was a good week for the 1417 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Lakers, and it was definitely a good week 1418 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 3: for Luca because he started to look more like himself. 1419 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,040 Speaker 3: And I don't know exactly why he's me mugging his 1420 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 3: own team, like his own former teammates that had nothing 1421 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,040 Speaker 3: to do with trading him, and they're probably said that 1422 01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,880 Speaker 3: he's not there, but you know that's that's that's Luca 1423 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 3: for you, right, Like maybe that's Nico, Like that's why 1424 01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:33,639 Speaker 3: we got rid of him, man, because he's like that, 1425 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 3: Like yeah, but he's also going to drop forty on 1426 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 3: your nose. So it's a tough times in Dallas. I 1427 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 3: was gonna mention this earlier, but since since we were 1428 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:49,200 Speaker 3: talking about Dallas for a second, the combine, so Brian 1429 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:54,920 Speaker 3: Schottenheimer brought his entire staff to the combine and I 1430 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 3: was thinking to myself, I wonder if he's doing that 1431 01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 3: so that there are many people that can vouch for 1432 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 3: the fact that he is at actually the head coach 1433 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,320 Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys. Like he's got like ten to 1434 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,280 Speaker 3: fifteen guys around him. Yep, that's the coach. That's the one, 1435 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,479 Speaker 3: that guy right there. Yeah, he's the head coach of 1436 01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,160 Speaker 3: the Cowboys. Because I'm not sure that he would be 1437 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 3: recognized outside of that, Like I think there'd be some 1438 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 3: that would say he must be a coordinator. I mean, 1439 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 3: where's Jerry Jones. Isn't he the coach? 1440 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 2: He looks like a coordinator that doesn't call plays. Oh, 1441 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:23,599 Speaker 2: that's actually the head coach. Now, I did see him 1442 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 2: at a press conference. It will be quick ause we 1443 01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 2: gotta get to this sacred I did see him at 1444 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:28,520 Speaker 2: a press conference on Friday. 1445 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 4: He just did not give off coach of the Cowboys vibes. 1446 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 2: Like you know, whoever Dan Campbell walks to a podium, 1447 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,640 Speaker 2: It's like, Oh, that dude is going to have the 1448 01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,000 Speaker 2: pulse of a locker room. Uh, you know, I, you know, 1449 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, whoever. 1450 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 4: It's like. 1451 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:51,439 Speaker 2: Schottenheimer was just like, oh, that looks like I don't 1452 01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 2: even know. 1453 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:52,400 Speaker 4: I don't even know. 1454 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:54,600 Speaker 2: It looked like a guy that was like, Oh, that 1455 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 2: guy's gonna walk into the locker room and set you know, 1456 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,640 Speaker 2: when Michael Parsons is running his mouth on his podcast, 1457 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,040 Speaker 2: that's the guy that's gonna get him back in line. 1458 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,439 Speaker 2: That's the guy that's gonna have him running sprints at 1459 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 2: the stadium at six am in the morning. So those 1460 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,920 Speaker 2: are my only Brian Schottenheimer takes from the week at 1461 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 2: the Combines. 1462 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 3: Those are pretty good. Yeah, it's all good. Yeah, I'll 1463 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,760 Speaker 3: say this real quick. I haven't watched one millisecond of 1464 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,719 Speaker 3: the combine. Like none.

Since it has a capacity 1535 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 7: for over twenty thousand fans, the team in Chicago usually 1536 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 7: plays at an arena in the area that seats ten thousand. 1537 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 7: This is not new, of course, first off for Angel 1538 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 7: Reefs against Caitlin Clark, but for Fever to have Caitland 1539 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 7: Clark games moved to larger arenas. It's going to happen 1540 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 7: twice when they go to Washington this summer as well. 1541 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,919 Speaker 7: They've moved the Clark games to Baltimore to larger venues 1542 01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,639 Speaker 7: for the twenty twenty five summer. 1543 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 2: You know, this isn't a topic for today, it is. 1544 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,600 Speaker 2: I was talking to producer and Brandan Deutsch about this, 1545 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 2: like the difference and interest between Caitlyn Clark games versus literally, 1546 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 2: like if you remember last year when they played the 1547 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 2: Sparks nineteen thousand pupil at Crypto the game before they 1548 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 2: were playing in Long Beach at the Pyramid in front 1549 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:21,599 Speaker 2: of like four thousand fans. 1550 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,760 Speaker 7: That's capacity there, I believe at Long Beach. 1551 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:28,320 Speaker 2: Yes, oh well, different capacities, one with Kaylyn Clark, one 1552 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:28,680 Speaker 2: with the other. 1553 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:29,680 Speaker 4: So it's just amazing to me. 1554 01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,519 Speaker 7: Yes, it is a massive difference and will continue to 1555 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:37,679 Speaker 7: be apparently this summer, you know ESPN after they don't 1556 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,840 Speaker 7: have baseball in the summer.

Deebo Samuel 1636 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,160 Speaker 2: unofficially traded to the Washington Commanders. It cannot become official 1637 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,680 Speaker 2: until the league calendar starts. The league year starts on 1638 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 2: March twelfth, which is obviously about ten days from now, 1639 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,800 Speaker 2: But Deebo Samuel is going to the Washington Commanders. To me, 1640 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 2: this just simply says the San Francisco forty nine ers 1641 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 2: are really, I think, going to slowly over the next whatever, 1642 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:51,080 Speaker 2: you know, two to three years, tear down, basically tear 1643 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:54,120 Speaker 2: down the team that made it to two straight Super 1644 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 2: Bowls and could not get over the hump. We're kind 1645 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,439 Speaker 2: of in between eras right now, and for the Washington 1646 01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 2: Commanders obviously sets up for another nice weapon for a 1647 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 2: very young talented quarterback in Jayden Daniels. 1648 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not much to say. I mean, it was 1649 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 3: inevitable that Deebo was going to be somewhere else because 1650 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,759 Speaker 3: he wanted out toward Dandy made it clear as agent, 1651 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,200 Speaker 3: and it seemed like the team was ready to move 1652 01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 3: on as well. They're moving towards kind of their golden years. 1653 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,760 Speaker 3: They're moving into their retirement home at this point. In 1654 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 3: terms of this Niners squad, the way that we've come 1655 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,960 Speaker 3: to know them in the last handful of years, they're 1656 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 3: in a transitional period and I don't know that they're 1657 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,479 Speaker 3: a contender right now. Of course they're about to have 1658 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,360 Speaker 3: to pay brock Party. If you're Washington, on the other hand, 1659 01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,759 Speaker 3: you are now in an arms race in your own division, 1660 01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:50,840 Speaker 3: especially with Philadelphia, who's eyeing Miles Garrett right now and 1661 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:52,559 Speaker 3: looking at a lot of other things. Of Course, we 1662 01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,240 Speaker 3: already know what they have on offense. So you've got 1663 01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,559 Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels and right now you don't have to pay 1664 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 3: them anything more than that rookie contract, So you got 1665 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 3: to do what you can, and Deebo's probably a pretty 1666 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 3: good bet. Now He's not going to be the only 1667 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:10,679 Speaker 3: thing that you need, especially considering you can't necessarily feel 1668 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 3: good about his availability just because he has been banged 1669 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 3: up a lot and he plays so physically, and the 1670 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 3: older you get and the more physically you play, the 1671 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:19,880 Speaker 3: more likely it is you're not going to be playing 1672 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 3: as much. But it's a good step for them to take. 1673 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,960 Speaker 3: Just give somebody else another weapon for Jayden Daniels, a 1674 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 3: physical player, a combat player, somebody that will make those 1675 01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,880 Speaker 3: plays over the middle for you and at times can 1676 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,600 Speaker 3: just wow you with what he's able to do. And 1677 01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,559 Speaker 3: you're getting him probably pretty geeked up when it comes 1678 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 3: to one to show he's still got a lot, right, 1679 01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 3: So I think there's that as well. He came off 1680 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,880 Speaker 3: a year wasn't great because he was pretty banged up, 1681 01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 3: but he showed right there in the last i think 1682 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 3: maybe the last four nance of the year what he 1683 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:54,800 Speaker 3: was capable of doing. So I think you might get 1684 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 3: an inspired debo that's happy to be somewhere else. And 1685 01:22:58,080 --> 01:22:59,600 Speaker 3: I think that a lot of people are going to 1686 01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,559 Speaker 3: want to come play with Jayden Daniels, And that's that's 1687 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:05,720 Speaker 3: more to the point, because Jayden Daniels is a guy 1688 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 3: that doesn't want to take off and run. He wants 1689 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 3: to stand in the pocket, find somebody and just have 1690 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 3: that kind of that kind of a quarterback play like that. 1691 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,559 Speaker 3: He doesn't necessarily want to pull it down and run 1692 01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 3: out on every play when he had too. He can. 1693 01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 3: He's going to be more effective with that if he 1694 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,040 Speaker 3: doesn't have to quite as often. So I think it's 1695 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 3: a good move for Washington because they absolutely have to 1696 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:28,680 Speaker 3: maximize this time that they've got him before they have 1697 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 3: to pay him really quickly. 1698 01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:32,280 Speaker 2: I think I kind of know your answer to this, 1699 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 2: But what is the best case scenario, Like if San 1700 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 2: Francisco doesn't deal with the injuries that they dealt with 1701 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 2: this past year, which probably should not be expected when 1702 01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 2: Trent Williams is going to be thirty seven years old, 1703 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,120 Speaker 2: thirty eight years old this year, George Kittle's over thirty, 1704 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,439 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey's closing an on thirty. But let's just say 1705 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:59,559 Speaker 2: that they don't have the cataclysmic injuries of this season, Like, 1706 01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 2: what is the best case scenario for San Francisco this 1707 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 2: year this coming season? Because I still think that even 1708 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:10,000 Speaker 2: a best case scenario is kind of like, hey, maybe 1709 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,120 Speaker 2: we win the NFC West, but are we really a 1710 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 2: contender in the NFC, and I don't know if that's 1711 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:17,840 Speaker 2: where you want to be if you're the forty nine ers. 1712 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to say, because I do think some 1713 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 3: of the injuries are going to continue, just because you 1714 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 3: have older guys and guys that have been injured in 1715 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:30,360 Speaker 3: the past. Of course, this past season, the McCaffrey thing 1716 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,599 Speaker 3: came back. You know, he was super healthy after they 1717 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,599 Speaker 3: acquired him. They end up in the Super Bowl, they 1718 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 3: lose that game, but then they come back and he 1719 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:41,280 Speaker 3: barely plays all year. And that was sort of the 1720 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:45,080 Speaker 3: fear that that was kind of what we saw sometimes 1721 01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,479 Speaker 3: in Carolina, is that he could get banged up, and 1722 01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 3: when he did, he was off and out for a 1723 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:52,320 Speaker 3: long period of time. But I mean, best case scenario, 1724 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 3: I think you're probably looking like an eleven win team, 1725 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,280 Speaker 3: something like that max ten win team. Even I look 1726 01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 3: at the rest of the Vision A and I think 1727 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 3: might come back and be better than they were this year. 1728 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,559 Speaker 3: The Rams are not going anywhere. Seattle, I'm really not 1729 01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,479 Speaker 3: sure what to make of. I kind of think Seattle 1730 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 3: and San Francisco are just I'm not really sure, but 1731 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,120 Speaker 3: certainly I don't look at San Francisco the way that 1732 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 3: I look at Philadelphia. I don't look at them the 1733 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,240 Speaker 3: way that I looked at Detroit, and still will until 1734 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,560 Speaker 3: further notice or until they give me reason to look elsewhere. 1735 01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,479 Speaker 3: I think they're probably in that Packers mix still, because 1736 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 3: I don't really buy the Packers the way that I did. 1737 01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 3: I had them in the Super Bowl this past year 1738 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 3: and didn't turn out, and by the time we got 1739 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,240 Speaker 3: to the playoffs, I knew that wasn't going to be 1740 01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,439 Speaker 3: the case. But I think that that's probably I think 1741 01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:45,200 Speaker 3: they're probably about a second tier NFC team at best. 1742 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,920 Speaker 3: They could they could make some people sweat when it 1743 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,840 Speaker 3: comes to the playoffs and things like that, but I 1744 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:53,640 Speaker 3: don't think they're a real contender. 1745 01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,639 Speaker 2: Let me, by the way, this is completely unrelated to anything. 1746 01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:02,240 Speaker 2: I must be getting old. Because San Francisco finished six 1747 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,680 Speaker 2: and eleven in the NFC West this year. That I 1748 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,360 Speaker 2: knew they finished in last place, I said, you know, 1749 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:09,600 Speaker 2: the Rams are kind of whatever, And I think I 1750 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,640 Speaker 2: said earlier in the show, the Cardinals were interesting for 1751 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 2: a little while. 1752 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 4: I'll be totally real j Mark. 1753 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 2: Apparently, the Seattle Seahawks finished ten and seven and tied 1754 01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 2: for first place in the NFC West. I don't remember 1755 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 2: that at all, Like, were they was there some time? 1756 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 2: Like I guess the Rams just won the tiebreaker. 1757 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:26,720 Speaker 4: I don't know. 1758 01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 2: I don't remember the Seahawks being tied for first place 1759 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,000 Speaker 2: in that division at the end of the year. 1760 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 4: Has nothing to do with anything. Maybe I'm getting old. 1761 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 2: It's after midnight Eastern on the East Coast, so maybe 1762 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm just tired and I'm delusional. 1763 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 4: I don't remember the Seahawks being ten and seven at all. 1764 01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not sure I remember watching them play 1765 01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,679 Speaker 3: last year. Yeah, yeah, I know there were a couple 1766 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,760 Speaker 3: I'm kind of I know you're kind of joking, but 1767 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 3: generally speaking, like they just sort of there was a 1768 01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 3: season and they were part of it. But that was 1769 01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 3: sort of it, Like there was not much more to it. 1770 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 3: It's not even they were boring necessarily. They just were 1771 01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,599 Speaker 3: just a complete afterthought. No one was talking about them 1772 01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 3: at any point, but they were just kind of judging along. 1773 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,880 Speaker 3: Geno Smith was still winning them some games, they were 1774 01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 3: still doing some things. DK was doing some things here 1775 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 3: and there. Tyler Lockett, I'd see him pop up on 1776 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 3: a highlight show once in a while. I think actually 1777 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,599 Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigua had a really good year for them, 1778 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 3: so they need that to continue. But yeah, you're telling 1779 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 3: me they're ten and seven. I thought they were probably 1780 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 3: closer to five hundred than that. That's a pretty good season, honestly. 1781 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:32,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1782 01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,599 Speaker 2: My one visceral memory of the Seahawks was I got 1783 01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,040 Speaker 2: stuck on a cross country flight and it was the 1784 01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,200 Speaker 2: only game that was on was Seahawks Giants. I don't 1785 01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 2: know why. I don't know what the aviation got, what 1786 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 2: somebody did to the aviation gods for that to be 1787 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 2: the only game, but I ended up watching like a 1788 01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 2: fair amount of that. By the way, Seattle's final two 1789 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 2: weeks to finish ten and seven, arousing arousing six to 1790 01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 2: three win over the bar I do remember that game 1791 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,080 Speaker 2: because it was the Thursday night after Christmas. And I 1792 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 2: remember you and I actually talking about this on air, 1793 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,600 Speaker 2: is that we got so geeked up or so overwhelmed 1794 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,240 Speaker 2: by NFL football on a Wednesday. I forgot that there 1795 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 2: was a Thursday night game, and I was doing whatever 1796 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 2: on December twenty sixth, and it was like, Oh, the 1797 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 2: Seahawks and Bears are playing, And then obviously I looked 1798 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 2: at the score and I didn't prioritize it to come 1799 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 2: in and then apparently they beat the Rams in week seventeen, 1800 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:30,679 Speaker 2: when clearly the Rams had already clinched the division because 1801 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:32,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't look like any of the Rams starters played 1802 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 2: so so yeah, very riveting finish to the ten and 1803 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 2: seven season. That's probably why we don't remember very much 1804 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:43,120 Speaker 2: of it really quick. Jmart speaking of the Rams, Matthew 1805 01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 2: Stafford is coming back to Los Angeles. I don't think 1806 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:48,800 Speaker 2: either you or I as surprised by that, But the 1807 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:52,640 Speaker 2: big domino appears to be that there was talk that 1808 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,880 Speaker 2: if Matthew Stafford left, that Aaron Rodgers would be a 1809 01:28:55,920 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Ram. Diana Rassini reporting on Friday afternoon that 1810 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 2: with Matthew Stafford going to New York, that obviously means 1811 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,800 Speaker 2: that Matthew Stafford is not a candidate to go to 1812 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 2: the Giants. 1813 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:08,960 Speaker 4: Giants need a quarterback. 1814 01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,439 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is no longer a candidate's go to the Rams, 1815 01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,640 Speaker 2: and that Diana Rassini reports said that they are officially 1816 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:16,200 Speaker 2: targeting Aaron Rodgers. 1817 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,639 Speaker 4: I mentioned it earlier in the show. I don't love it. 1818 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 2: I would push my chips in on one of the 1819 01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:26,719 Speaker 2: rookie quarterbacks. The only argument I could really see against 1820 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:28,920 Speaker 2: it is if you really believe Cleveland is taking a 1821 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,559 Speaker 2: quarterback at two after cam Ward goes one, then cam 1822 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:34,480 Speaker 2: Ward and Shador Sanders aren't available. 1823 01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:36,960 Speaker 4: But listen, it's early. We don't know. 1824 01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 2: You know, things can change between now and you know, 1825 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 2: whenever all the dominoes fall. But it appears as though 1826 01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is now a priority for the New York Giants. 1827 01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see that working out, but who knows. 1828 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 3: Maybe they did feel like they got burned last year 1829 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:56,800 Speaker 3: and they're just afraid of getting burned again. But I'm 1830 01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:58,679 Speaker 3: with you, like we talked about in the first hour. 1831 01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 3: To me, I'm going for one of the rookies. I 1832 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,160 Speaker 3: don't know that Aaron Rodgers is going to save my 1833 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 3: job if I'm Brian Dable. I don't know that he's 1834 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,840 Speaker 3: going to maximize what I have, and I don't know 1835 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:11,679 Speaker 3: what I have quite frankly. I mean, you had Tracy 1836 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 3: kind of come out of nowhere, and he was a 1837 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:16,400 Speaker 3: pretty good back for them. He wouldn't say Kwan Barkley, 1838 01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 3: but he showed some flashes of some stuff. Certainly, you've 1839 01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:22,240 Speaker 3: got my league neighbors there, and he's going to be 1840 01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 3: your focal point. So you've got to have a quarterback 1841 01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:26,439 Speaker 3: that can get him the ball and somebody understands and 1842 01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 3: you want to do the best that you can by 1843 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,920 Speaker 3: him as fast as possible. I don't know if that's 1844 01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:35,559 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. I think you need to try and build 1845 01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:38,679 Speaker 3: synergy with a quarterback that's going to be there. Yeah, 1846 01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,679 Speaker 3: I think you're wide receiver quarterback. You want that marriage 1847 01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 3: to be good, but you also want it to be 1848 01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:46,599 Speaker 3: long lasting. You don't want that thing to be cut 1849 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,920 Speaker 3: short rather quickly because of a retired Aaron Rodgers, because 1850 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,439 Speaker 3: I think personally, if he plays this year and he 1851 01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 3: doesn't have fun again, he's not coming back, sure, because 1852 01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 3: the only reason you would come back at this point 1853 01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,360 Speaker 3: is not just because you want to play foot balls, 1854 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:02,600 Speaker 3: because you want people to remember you differently than the 1855 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:07,600 Speaker 3: way it ended with the Jets. I don't know that 1856 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 3: if he goes and puts on a Giants uniform, he's 1857 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,559 Speaker 3: going to get that ending. I don't know that he's 1858 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,519 Speaker 3: going to have that farv in Minnesota kind of ending. 1859 01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,799 Speaker 3: He's certainly not going to have that Brady and Tampa 1860 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,840 Speaker 3: Bay kind of ending, so I would. I mean, if 1861 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:25,639 Speaker 3: I'm him, I'm just thinking, I'm like, do I really 1862 01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:28,479 Speaker 3: want to do this? Do I even want to do this? 1863 01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:30,720 Speaker 3: If the Giants are the only place that I can go, 1864 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,880 Speaker 3: if there's nowhere better than that, because you're not going 1865 01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,519 Speaker 3: to win a title there. So I just feel like 1866 01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,600 Speaker 3: the return there the juice is probably not worth the 1867 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 3: squeeze for me if I'm Aaron Rodgers, but it's definitely 1868 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,559 Speaker 3: not worth the squeeze for me if I'm the Giants. Yeah. 1869 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,879 Speaker 2: And I think, by the way, if he does choose 1870 01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,679 Speaker 2: to play with the Giants, I've already said I don't 1871 01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:55,320 Speaker 2: agree with the Giants perspective, but I think it's pretty 1872 01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:57,320 Speaker 2: obvious at that point, as you just said that he 1873 01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:01,080 Speaker 2: just wants to play, because obviously a week ago he 1874 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:04,960 Speaker 2: did an interview with TMZ where he basically said, you know, 1875 01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,120 Speaker 2: I want to go somewhere that I'm wanted, but somewhere 1876 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,320 Speaker 2: also that has a lot of good players, the insinuation 1877 01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,960 Speaker 2: being with a chance to win. I don't think that 1878 01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 2: is going to happen. By the way, I will add this, 1879 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,920 Speaker 2: this is very random and I guess a little bit 1880 01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 2: off topic, but not really do the Jets just plan 1881 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 2: on not playing with quarterback next year. They're not involved 1882 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:24,559 Speaker 2: with any of these guys. 1883 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:26,639 Speaker 3: They're not in position coming back home. 1884 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:30,320 Speaker 2: Oh god, speaking of seeing ghosts, that's a ghost. I'd 1885 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 2: be seeing ghosts having to turn them on every week. 1886 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's crazy. So they've told Aaron Rodgers he's 1887 01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:38,160 Speaker 2: not coming back. They're not really in position to draft 1888 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:44,120 Speaker 2: a quarterback, and they're not linked to any of the. 1889 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 4: The guys that are available. 1890 01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:47,800 Speaker 2: We mentioned earlier that the Raiders are are kind of 1891 01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 2: vetting that that, you know, bottom of the barrel discount 1892 01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 2: bin of Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Sam Darnold Jet Jets. 1893 01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,360 Speaker 2: Maybe they're just running the wildcat all of next year 1894 01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 2: and don't plan on actually throwing the football. 1895 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,040 Speaker 3: So maybe they're bringing in like the need to figure 1896 01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 3: something out. I mean, if I'm Aaron Glenn, I want 1897 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:10,559 Speaker 3: a quarterback, you're probably gonna need a quarterback. 1898 01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 2: That'd be nice to have like one quarterback on your roster. 1899 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:18,200 Speaker 2: Maybe they just go like the Army triple option'd. 1900 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,559 Speaker 3: Maybe the draft like Jaylen Milroe and they actually with it. 1901 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,599 Speaker 2: Oh boy, I'll tell you what. We'll talk combine next 1902 01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:25,920 Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe is not going to be part of that conversation. 1903 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:30,639 Speaker 2: But uh I just I Jalen Milroe by all accounts 1904 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:33,800 Speaker 2: as a great kid. But we're in the part of 1905 01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:36,760 Speaker 2: the news cycle now where we stop talking about the 1906 01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,720 Speaker 2: actual on the field tape and just oh, look at 1907 01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 2: him in a shirt running and not let's not acknowledge 1908 01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:46,400 Speaker 2: anything that happened during the season. So come back, we'll 1909 01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:49,400 Speaker 2: talk Combine, not Jalen Milroe. But I got some Travis 1910 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:50,960 Speaker 2: Hunter thoughts. I don't want to get off my chest. 1911 01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 2: That's next. 1912 01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:52,679 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. 1913 01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 1914 01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:59,280 Speaker 5: the nation.

You know, Jbart, 1919 01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 2: you and I obviously do a lot of college football 1920 01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:21,720 Speaker 2: in this window. Love it, talk about it every Saturday 1921 01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 2: from basically early to mid August through you know, mid 1922 01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 2: to late January even later this year. I don't know 1923 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:33,479 Speaker 2: that I've heard the definitive jmart take on Travis Hunter 1924 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:36,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL. He obviously went this week to the 1925 01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:37,920 Speaker 2: Combine as a cornerback. 1926 01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:39,000 Speaker 4: I know he's been. 1927 01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,960 Speaker 2: Vocal about wanting the opportunity to play both sides of 1928 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,680 Speaker 2: the football. It seems as though the you know, the 1929 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:48,440 Speaker 2: powers that be don't seem to really believe. 1930 01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 4: That it's possible. Do you have any strong opinion? 1931 01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,559 Speaker 2: I have some thoughts, but I'm curious for your perspective 1932 01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,640 Speaker 2: as strong opinions on Travis Hunter, what he may or 1933 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:59,679 Speaker 2: may not be capable of as a as an NFL player. 1934 01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 3: I don't know about strong opinions. I would at least 1935 01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,879 Speaker 3: I would be more open minded than the league appears 1936 01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:16,040 Speaker 3: to be right now. Just because you're saying it's not possible, 1937 01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:19,320 Speaker 3: is that because it isn't or because he's a unicorn 1938 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:24,080 Speaker 3: you've never seen before. Like that's where I hesitate to say, Oh, 1939 01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:28,559 Speaker 3: it's not possible. It's not possible, it's not. The definition 1940 01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:31,160 Speaker 3: of impossible is not because I haven't seen it yet, 1941 01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 3: It's because it's not possible for a human being to 1942 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,679 Speaker 3: do it. Is it a dangerous play? Potentially? Yeah, because 1943 01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:40,960 Speaker 3: if you play in both ways, you're probably shortening his career. 1944 01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:45,479 Speaker 3: So if he's good at one thing, then you should 1945 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:47,840 Speaker 3: probably let him do the thing he's best at so 1946 01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:50,360 Speaker 3: that you can maximize that for as long as possible. 1947 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:52,680 Speaker 3: But I mean, you know, we're looking at show, hey 1948 01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 3: Tani in a different sport. We've obviously seen Deon Sanders 1949 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,720 Speaker 3: do this at different times in different sports. We've seen 1950 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:00,799 Speaker 3: guys do it in different sports. You just don't generally 1951 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,759 Speaker 3: see it in one sport, especially not inn the NFL. 1952 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:08,120 Speaker 3: But I don't like the idea of just completely eliminating 1953 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,400 Speaker 3: it offhand, like just out of hand and just nope, 1954 01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:13,320 Speaker 3: absolutely not, cannot do it. No, I would at least 1955 01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 3: entertain it. I'd look into it a little bit and 1956 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:20,600 Speaker 3: come to a good decision on it, evaluate it. But 1957 01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,280 Speaker 3: I mean, Travis Hunter is saying he's gonna do it. 1958 01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 3: I don't think he's a moron. I don't think he 1959 01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,400 Speaker 3: is a dumb guy by any stretch. I think he 1960 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 3: has very high confidence in what he's capable of doing. 1961 01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 3: And I understand it. I watched him play last year. 1962 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,200 Speaker 3: We know what he's capable of. So I don't like 1963 01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:43,040 Speaker 3: the idea of an NFL that hasn't seen this before 1964 01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:46,200 Speaker 3: saying this can't be done. I would at least entertain it. 1965 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,280 Speaker 2: So I'm actually that's actually my exact take, to be 1966 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 2: perfectly honest, is you know, because first of all, let's 1967 01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,559 Speaker 2: just look at history, okay, And so I think this 1968 01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,360 Speaker 2: gets lost a little bit in the shuffle. The reason 1969 01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:02,679 Speaker 2: that Travis Hunter flipped on national signing Day from Florida 1970 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:07,559 Speaker 2: State to Jackson State, with due respect, it wasn't just 1971 01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:10,200 Speaker 2: because he wanted to play for Dion. It wasn't because 1972 01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 2: he wanted to play it at HBCU. It's not because 1973 01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:14,360 Speaker 2: he didn't want to play at Florida State. It is 1974 01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,360 Speaker 2: because Deon Sanders was the only coach that said, hey, 1975 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,800 Speaker 2: we believe you can play both positions at a high level, 1976 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:23,519 Speaker 2: and we're gonna give you the opportunity to do so, 1977 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,759 Speaker 2: and if you can't, then we'll focus on one side. 1978 01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:26,519 Speaker 4: Whatever. 1979 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,799 Speaker 2: That is the reason that he was at first Jackson 1980 01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:31,680 Speaker 2: State and then Colorado. It is because Deon Sanders is 1981 01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,639 Speaker 2: the only one that believed that he could do it. 1982 01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:37,160 Speaker 2: And so what I'm with you, we've seen recent history 1983 01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,840 Speaker 2: where people said that that it can't be done. I'm 1984 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 2: also gonna say something pseudo controversial. I think in some 1985 01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:49,120 Speaker 2: ways it's this gonna sound crazy. I think in some ways, 1986 01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:51,840 Speaker 2: it's actually easier to do it in the NFL than 1987 01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:52,599 Speaker 2: it would be in college. 1988 01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:53,280 Speaker 3: And let me explain. 1989 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,759 Speaker 2: Obviously the physicality of the NFL is much different. Obviously 1990 01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:00,080 Speaker 2: the athleticism is much different. And to be clear, I 1991 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,400 Speaker 2: don't think Travis Hunter is a wide receiver one. I 1992 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,160 Speaker 2: don't think he's a hundred catch guy. I don't think 1993 01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,519 Speaker 2: he's Jamar Chase. I don't think he's Jordan Jefferson whatever. 1994 01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,000 Speaker 2: But the thing that you forget about college football, they're 1995 01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 2: very limited on practice time. And so now I will 1996 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,880 Speaker 2: say my understanding of Colorado was that they kind of 1997 01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:19,840 Speaker 2: let him kind of practice around things. In other words, 1998 01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, he wouldn't go full pads on days that 1999 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,559 Speaker 2: other guys would for for obvious reason, to protect his body. 2000 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,840 Speaker 2: But it's like there's going to be more practice time, 2001 01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:30,600 Speaker 2: more film time, more study time. By all accounts, he 2002 01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:33,439 Speaker 2: is you know, an A plus plus, you know, student 2003 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:35,599 Speaker 2: of the game, student in general. I think he had 2004 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:38,320 Speaker 2: a four to zero this year, totally locked in on football. 2005 01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 2: So I just bring it up because more practice time, 2006 01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,680 Speaker 2: more study time. I don't know that he's going to 2007 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,439 Speaker 2: be better, because I don't think he will be. But 2008 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:49,040 Speaker 2: like I think in some ways it'll actually be easier 2009 01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:50,680 Speaker 2: for him. But I just fall to the place that 2010 01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:54,479 Speaker 2: you are, Jason, of just because it hasn't been done 2011 01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:55,559 Speaker 2: doesn't mean it can't be. 2012 01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 4: And I'll take you a step further. 2013 01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:00,000 Speaker 2: I just think I just hope that whoever drafts him 2014 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:01,920 Speaker 2: does give him the opportunity, because I think it'll be 2015 01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:04,680 Speaker 2: a cool story to follow. You know, I want to 2016 01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:06,680 Speaker 2: give credit because I don't want to steal a take here, 2017 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 2: but I was talking to Dan Buyer about this, and 2018 01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:13,240 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, the NFL has become so quarterback quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, 2019 01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 2: quarterback quarterback. It was kind of fun seeing the Saquan 2020 01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 2: story this year, just because it was a little bit 2021 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,400 Speaker 2: different than things that we've seen in the past. And 2022 01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:22,720 Speaker 2: I just hope that we have a kind of a 2023 01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:26,280 Speaker 2: cool story to follow of dude playing both ways at 2024 01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,920 Speaker 2: a high level. And I hope whoever draft him gives 2025 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:29,680 Speaker 2: him the opportunity. 2026 01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I kind of would like for him to 2027 01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:37,040 Speaker 3: prove that it's impossible by not being able to do that. 2028 01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:39,960 Speaker 3: Like that's whoever drafts him, I want them to give 2029 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,000 Speaker 3: him the opportunity to show them he can do it 2030 01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,040 Speaker 3: and show them that it is valuable. But I think 2031 01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:49,200 Speaker 3: your other point is dead right, Like the uniqueness of 2032 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,160 Speaker 3: the story would be great, and the ability to see 2033 01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 3: him more often both ways is not like out, well 2034 01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,599 Speaker 3: they punt it. Now I can't watch Travis Hunter. Nope, 2035 01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:01,080 Speaker 3: you get to watch steffas Hunter either way. And look 2036 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:03,679 Speaker 3: if it ends up, if the scale ends up tilting 2037 01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:07,280 Speaker 3: dramatically to one side, then maybe you flip and you 2038 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,920 Speaker 3: only play one way a couple of years from now. 2039 01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:13,439 Speaker 3: But there's no reason not to at least entertain it, 2040 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,519 Speaker 3: Like I would hate the fact that team that drafts 2041 01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:19,639 Speaker 3: him immediately is like, well, here's what we drafted him 2042 01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,920 Speaker 3: to be. Like that would be a bummer because you 2043 01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 3: just don't get this opportunity much and the entertainment value, 2044 01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:32,400 Speaker 3: the story value, the potential that it could be like 2045 01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,800 Speaker 3: if he's great at this, I mean, this becomes just 2046 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:39,360 Speaker 3: an incredible thing to watch as well it was in college. 2047 01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:43,400 Speaker 3: So I hope it happens. Quite frankly, even though I 2048 01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:45,120 Speaker 3: want to see him have a long career and be 2049 01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:48,720 Speaker 3: healthy and that certainly will limit your ability to do 2050 01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,479 Speaker 3: that if you're playing that often, I still just want 2051 01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:53,519 Speaker 3: to see it at least for a little while, just 2052 01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 3: because I just want to see this guy go out 2053 01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:58,120 Speaker 3: and ball, because I know what he's capable of. 2054 01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:01,200 Speaker 2: I tell you what, I want to see Travis Hunter 2055 01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:02,959 Speaker 2: play both sides of the football. 2056 01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:04,040 Speaker 4: Know what else? 2057 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 2: I want to see Bill Belichick on hard knocks with 2058 01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:09,519 Speaker 2: the UNC and it's coming baby. 2059 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:10,080 Speaker 4: That's right. 2060 01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:12,479 Speaker 2: We're going to discuss that next. Before we do, though, 2061 01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:14,960 Speaker 2: final time, Disager's got to get home and prepare for 2062 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,799 Speaker 2: working with Arnie for three hours tomorrow.

Get out of here, get a 2064 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:20,559 Speaker 2: good night sleep here. 2065 01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:22,240 Speaker 3: Arizona lost an idea that that's right. 2066 01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:26,320 Speaker 7: He is enjoying his Wildcat basketball or not. Arizona lost 2067 01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:27,960 Speaker 7: badly at number nine Iowa State. 2068 01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:28,600 Speaker 4: We'll get to that. 2069 01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:31,000 Speaker 7: But as far as the scouting combine, the workouts it 2070 01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:35,280 Speaker 7: started Thursday.

Bill 2152 01:45:57,280 --> 01:46:02,639 Speaker 2: Belichick and the North Carolina tar Heels will be part 2153 01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:06,880 Speaker 2: of a hard Knock series, basically the spring Hard Knock 2154 01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:10,120 Speaker 2: series that was such a success. Basically nobody in the 2155 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 2: NFL wants to do it for obvious reasons, because we 2156 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,360 Speaker 2: just mocked the New York Giants for basically now, basically 2157 01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:19,200 Speaker 2: a full year since that first debuted in whatever it was, 2158 01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:24,280 Speaker 2: you know, May of last year, Bill Belichick and the 2159 01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,639 Speaker 2: North Carolina tar Heels will be on Hard Knocks. 2160 01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:28,840 Speaker 4: You don't sound excited about it. I'm actually surprised by that. 2161 01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:31,799 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's not like it won't be interesting. 2162 01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:35,679 Speaker 3: It's just like, man, the old Belichick would have wanted 2163 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:36,400 Speaker 3: no part of this. 2164 01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:38,400 Speaker 4: So actually, let me jump in because that was actually 2165 01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:39,040 Speaker 4: be a question. 2166 01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:44,160 Speaker 2: Do you believe that is Belichick doing this because hey, 2167 01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:46,880 Speaker 2: he's just a new dude dating a twenty four year 2168 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:48,480 Speaker 2: old whatever. 2169 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:50,799 Speaker 4: Life is good, let's try some new stuff. 2170 01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:52,920 Speaker 3: But I don't even know what to say about that. 2171 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but is it has he fundamentally changed you think 2172 01:46:57,120 --> 01:47:00,719 Speaker 2: he thinks he has to do this because of crew purposes, 2173 01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:04,439 Speaker 2: Like it does feel like he's a different dude. But 2174 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,479 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's the same dude and he's 2175 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:09,640 Speaker 2: just doing it because he thinks he has to do it. 2176 01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,040 Speaker 2: I just I don't really know what to make of this, 2177 01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:14,200 Speaker 2: Uh this new look Bill Belichick. 2178 01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,639 Speaker 3: I mean, does the zebra change his stripes? 2179 01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:17,479 Speaker 4: I don't like. 2180 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:23,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I think will I think. I 2181 01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,439 Speaker 3: think the version of Bill that we were seeing with 2182 01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:30,920 Speaker 3: Peyton and Eli, for example, was legit. I think that's 2183 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:33,559 Speaker 3: more of who he always has been. Probably, like they've said, 2184 01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:35,599 Speaker 3: behind the scenes, he can be kind of a jovial guy, 2185 01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:39,439 Speaker 3: fun guy. Some of that kind of stuff has been 2186 01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:42,760 Speaker 3: so that didn't really shock me. I thought he would 2187 01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:44,760 Speaker 3: probably be pretty good on TV, and he was. I 2188 01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:46,880 Speaker 3: knew Satan was going to be great on TV and 2189 01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:50,519 Speaker 3: he has been. But this this is different though, because 2190 01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:53,240 Speaker 3: this is letting him into the football side of what 2191 01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:56,599 Speaker 3: you were doing, where you never gave the media anything. 2192 01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:00,479 Speaker 3: It was on to Cincinnati every week, and you really 2193 01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:03,720 Speaker 3: can't do that with this now. You know, knowing how 2194 01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:06,680 Speaker 3: Hard Knocks works behind the scenes and how it's all 2195 01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,280 Speaker 3: set up, and how you have control over it, they don't. 2196 01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:14,200 Speaker 3: So like North Carolina, Belichick is staff can shut the 2197 01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:17,040 Speaker 3: cameras down whenever they want. They'll be able to edit 2198 01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,799 Speaker 3: and say, Nope, we're not going to run that. Nope, 2199 01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,639 Speaker 3: don't want you to run that. And they can change things. 2200 01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:24,960 Speaker 3: You know, they have the power, they have the leverage 2201 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:28,679 Speaker 3: in this unless something's changed. So you know it gives 2202 01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:30,320 Speaker 3: you and see a little bit of a boost. I 2203 01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,559 Speaker 3: mean going into the season. I can't wait to watch 2204 01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:34,559 Speaker 3: Carolina football this year just because I want to see 2205 01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,719 Speaker 3: what this is. I want to see what this actually 2206 01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:41,400 Speaker 3: looks like with Bill Belichick in college. So this is 2207 01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:43,920 Speaker 3: a perfect This is exactly what you want if you're 2208 01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,160 Speaker 3: Max or HBO or whoever it is, it's running a 2209 01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 3: hard knock series. But if you are actually like Bill Belichick, 2210 01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:53,800 Speaker 3: what are you doing here? And I'm not really sure 2211 01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:58,120 Speaker 3: the recruiting point you made is intriguing because that does 2212 01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:02,120 Speaker 3: have to be factored in here and you being you know, 2213 01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:07,519 Speaker 3: out front constantly, maybe you're able to use this almost 2214 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:10,879 Speaker 3: as a recruiting tool, as a mechanism to have people watching. 2215 01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:14,559 Speaker 3: That might end up being easier for you to then 2216 01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:18,160 Speaker 3: get to your school. I don't know's it's a strange 2217 01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:20,559 Speaker 3: thing just because it seems like Bill Belichick would want 2218 01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:24,720 Speaker 3: no part of this. But I do not believe he 2219 01:49:24,840 --> 01:49:29,600 Speaker 3: has changed. I just kind of believe that we're just 2220 01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,440 Speaker 3: we're just in a different place just around Bill Belichick. 2221 01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:35,640 Speaker 3: I think in the next couple of years, we're going 2222 01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:39,120 Speaker 3: to figure out why he did this, why exactly he's 2223 01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:41,120 Speaker 3: the coach at North Carolina, what it has to do 2224 01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:43,720 Speaker 3: with the sun, things of that nature. I still don't 2225 01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,559 Speaker 3: see this lasting very long, and I still have no 2226 01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:48,120 Speaker 3: idea whether or not it's going to work on the 2227 01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:50,600 Speaker 3: field in terms of them being able to win. But 2228 01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:54,200 Speaker 3: he has now surprised me, and I would say you 2229 01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:57,280 Speaker 3: probably multiple times in the last six months with the 2230 01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,519 Speaker 3: things he's decided to do well. 2231 01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:00,479 Speaker 4: As a guy that you know. 2232 01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:04,839 Speaker 2: Even four or five days into the Bill Belichick UNC 2233 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:08,920 Speaker 2: rumors at the time, I still was like it became 2234 01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:10,719 Speaker 2: official at some point, but it was like up until 2235 01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:12,960 Speaker 2: the day he actually signed the paperwork, I was like, this. 2236 01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:15,679 Speaker 4: Is not real and yeah. 2237 01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:17,919 Speaker 2: So so first of all, I'll say I am excited 2238 01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,400 Speaker 2: for the behind the scenes access. I would actually argue 2239 01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:25,640 Speaker 2: UNC with Belichick. Maybe I haven't early sat down and 2240 01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:28,120 Speaker 2: thought about it, but maybe the team that I would 2241 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,599 Speaker 2: want to see a hard knocks for the most in college. 2242 01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,040 Speaker 3: We would say, so, I would say, so, yeah, I was. 2243 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:34,920 Speaker 2: I mean I was thinking about it, like Ryan Day 2244 01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:39,400 Speaker 2: not interesting, you know, maybe Alabama because they're kind of 2245 01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:41,439 Speaker 2: under a little bit of heat this year after, but 2246 01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:46,080 Speaker 2: it would probably be Belichick in UNC And so I'm excited. 2247 01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:48,240 Speaker 4: You know, I don't know what we're going to really learn. 2248 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,960 Speaker 2: And then I think the other thing too, not just 2249 01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:53,240 Speaker 2: kind of like what he's like behind the scenes, but 2250 01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:58,320 Speaker 2: I think sort of in my opinion as importantly, just. 2251 01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,320 Speaker 4: Like you said, is he different? Is he the same? 2252 01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,480 Speaker 2: Is he the same dude just in a college uniform 2253 01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:06,519 Speaker 2: in baby blue? 2254 01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:07,559 Speaker 3: Is he? 2255 01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:09,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. I just I think it's all. 2256 01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:12,760 Speaker 3: I want to see how he relates to nineteen year agree. Yeah, 2257 01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:15,160 Speaker 3: I mean things are things have changed of course now 2258 01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:16,920 Speaker 3: with them getting paid and all this, But I want 2259 01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:20,479 Speaker 3: to see how he operates and then you'll be able 2260 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:24,280 Speaker 3: to talk to or I imagine there'll be some interesting commentaries 2261 01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:26,799 Speaker 3: and articles written by guys that covered him in the NFL, 2262 01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:29,960 Speaker 3: be Republic in New England, who can then compare that 2263 01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:36,360 Speaker 3: to what they're seeing. Because I will be surprised if 2264 01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:39,200 Speaker 3: he doesn't change his methods at least a little bit. 2265 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:42,720 Speaker 3: If he doesn't, then I think it's not going to 2266 01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:44,719 Speaker 3: work very well for him at all. Yeah. 2267 01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:46,599 Speaker 2: No, I was going to say the exact same thing. 2268 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,040 Speaker 2: Is that I think he has changed. I think really 2269 01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:51,240 Speaker 2: quickly because we got to get get to break and wrap. 2270 01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:57,639 Speaker 2: I just think, like you said, is this just Hey, 2271 01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:02,000 Speaker 2: I want to coach and the NFL The options that 2272 01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:04,680 Speaker 2: I could have had were not interesting to me or 2273 01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:07,200 Speaker 2: kind of like the Lucas stuff. Is there some weird 2274 01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:10,400 Speaker 2: thing that we haven't totally figured out yet, whether it's 2275 01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:14,040 Speaker 2: using this to prove he can coach in the NFL again. 2276 01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:17,559 Speaker 2: You know, we know the buyout falls on June first. 2277 01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:20,800 Speaker 2: I don't anticipate a coaching je Jude first, but you 2278 01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,040 Speaker 2: know the buyout falls. Is he back in the NFL 2279 01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:25,080 Speaker 2: a year from now? Is this solely to get his 2280 01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:27,880 Speaker 2: son Steve in the head coaching job. Is he really 2281 01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,200 Speaker 2: interested in this? I don't know, but I just I 2282 01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:31,960 Speaker 2: find the whole thing interesting and we'll get a little 2283 01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:35,120 Speaker 2: bit of behind the scenes because again North Carolina football 2284 01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,800 Speaker 2: will be part of Hard Knocks. Reportedly, nothing is official yet. 2285 01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:44,240 Speaker 2: I actually had on Pat McAfee Yes Friday, and Mike 2286 01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:47,200 Speaker 2: Lombardi the GM happened to be on set and he 2287 01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:49,240 Speaker 2: was very hush hush about it. So it doesn't sound 2288 01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:51,439 Speaker 2: like it's official yet, but it sounds like it's pretty 2289 01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,240 Speaker 2: much official.

One 2305 01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,120 Speaker 2: segment left. By the way, Bernie Fratdo of the Bernie 2306 01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:45,240 Speaker 2: Friddo Show follows. 2307 01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:45,720 Speaker 3: Us j Mart. 2308 01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:48,600 Speaker 2: We did get a little response to our Aaron Rodgers conversation. 2309 01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:54,320 Speaker 2: Preler Forever says, quote, the only reason for Aaron Rodgers 2310 01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:56,719 Speaker 2: to go to the Giants is to humiliate the Jets 2311 01:53:56,720 --> 01:53:59,719 Speaker 2: for not keeping him and doing so in their building. 2312 01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:03,519 Speaker 2: Nobody thrives on proving people wrong more than him. 2313 01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:06,879 Speaker 3: Look, he's not wrong, Like he's been the petty champion 2314 01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:11,200 Speaker 3: for nigh on a decade. At this point in time, 2315 01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:14,839 Speaker 3: there was nobody you would believe would actually do something 2316 01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:17,599 Speaker 3: for that reason quite like Aaron Rodgers. I do agree 2317 01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:17,880 Speaker 3: with that. 2318 01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:20,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, my only thing. 2319 01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:22,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess a bad reason, but no, no, no, it's 2320 01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:24,679 Speaker 2: an interesting point because he is in the same building. 2321 01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:26,760 Speaker 2: And I mean if all of a sudden you look 2322 01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:30,439 Speaker 2: up and they're, you know, six and two and the 2323 01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:32,320 Speaker 2: Jets are one in five. 2324 01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:35,000 Speaker 4: Because again, I don't think they even have a quarter. 2325 01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:39,080 Speaker 2: Is Tyrod Taylor. I think Tyrod Taylor might be there, 2326 01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:41,000 Speaker 2: so maybe they just roll with him for a year. 2327 01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:43,360 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't know that they have 2328 01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,200 Speaker 2: a quarterback right now. So yeah, it's kind of interesting. 2329 01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:48,800 Speaker 2: We were talking about the quarterbacks earlier. That's on the podcast, 2330 01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:52,280 Speaker 2: just feels like everybody seems to have contingencies for what 2331 01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:54,960 Speaker 2: they want to do, except for the Jets who got 2332 01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:57,520 Speaker 2: rid of Aaron Rodgers don't seem to be in the 2333 01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:00,480 Speaker 2: mix for any of these veterans, the Sam Darnel, Russell 2334 01:55:00,520 --> 01:55:04,240 Speaker 2: Wilson types, and aren't in position to draft a quarterback. 2335 01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:07,120 Speaker 4: A couple other things we miss. 2336 01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:09,600 Speaker 2: J Mart I don't really want to end on a 2337 01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:12,000 Speaker 2: sad note or a down note, but I think it's 2338 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:14,240 Speaker 2: something that is worth at least spending a minute or 2339 01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:20,120 Speaker 2: two on Joel Embiid out for the year. I don't 2340 01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,240 Speaker 2: know what there really is to say that has not 2341 01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:25,040 Speaker 2: been said. I mean, obviously we all feel bad. I'll 2342 01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:26,720 Speaker 2: say this. You know, we've kind of talked about the 2343 01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:30,120 Speaker 2: forty nine ers kind of window maybe being over. I 2344 01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,040 Speaker 2: think it's probably just time to acknowledge that Joel Embiid 2345 01:55:33,080 --> 01:55:35,480 Speaker 2: I just not a guy that can consistently give you 2346 01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:37,920 Speaker 2: what you need on a night tonight basis. I mean, 2347 01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:39,560 Speaker 2: he's already said we're probably not gonna play back to 2348 01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:43,720 Speaker 2: backs ever again, and I just is he like, is 2349 01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:45,520 Speaker 2: he a guy you can build around at this point 2350 01:55:45,560 --> 01:55:48,520 Speaker 2: in his career. I just feel like anything you're gonna 2351 01:55:48,520 --> 01:55:50,840 Speaker 2: get from him at this point is a bonus. But 2352 01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:52,200 Speaker 2: I don't know that that's a guy that you can 2353 01:55:52,280 --> 01:55:53,760 Speaker 2: build around going for no. 2354 01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:59,400 Speaker 3: And look, it's it's been unfortunate to watch because at 2355 01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,720 Speaker 3: his best, I mean, he is something special to watch, 2356 01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:06,080 Speaker 3: but it's just not consistent and you can't trust it 2357 01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,160 Speaker 3: when he gets the playoffs, you can't trust a game 2358 01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:09,760 Speaker 3: to game And I don't mean his production, I just 2359 01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:12,880 Speaker 3: mean his availability in his health. And look, it was 2360 01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:15,080 Speaker 3: a problem with Kansas, it was a problem dating back 2361 01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:17,200 Speaker 3: to before he got into the NBA, and it's just 2362 01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:20,600 Speaker 3: dogged him out, Like it hasn't crushed him the same 2363 01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:22,960 Speaker 3: way it has like a Greg Odin or somebody like that. 2364 01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:26,640 Speaker 3: But Embiid had potential he's never going to be able 2365 01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,000 Speaker 3: to fully realize because I just don't think his body's 2366 01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:31,960 Speaker 3: going to allow it for a long enough period. I mean, 2367 01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:35,320 Speaker 3: this is a guy who had an MVP season, but 2368 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:38,440 Speaker 3: I do not think he can be your centerpiece on 2369 01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:41,720 Speaker 3: a championship team like he could be. Maybe he can 2370 01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:43,600 Speaker 3: be a role player for you or something like that, 2371 01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:46,360 Speaker 3: but we're definitely to that stage where he becomes more 2372 01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,600 Speaker 3: like the penny Hardaway in Phoenix kind of player like 2373 01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:53,440 Speaker 3: somebody like that that you just remember what he was 2374 01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:55,160 Speaker 3: and what he was capable of. But he's gonna have 2375 01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:59,080 Speaker 3: to change his game, and I just don't know. It's 2376 01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:01,360 Speaker 3: not great for the league. And man, what a disaster 2377 01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:06,560 Speaker 3: for the Sixers, just with Paul George's podcast Pee out 2378 01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:08,640 Speaker 3: here and everything more going on. 2379 01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:11,839 Speaker 4: He's no longer podcast pe that that was because he said. 2380 01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:13,600 Speaker 3: He wants to he wants to like hunker down for 2381 01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:14,280 Speaker 3: the playoffs. 2382 01:57:14,280 --> 01:57:19,240 Speaker 2: It's like, dude, very noble, Yeah, very very noble that 2383 01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:22,360 Speaker 2: you got to making forty got tired of hearing. 2384 01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:25,320 Speaker 3: Your name destroying well, I just think television and radio 2385 01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:25,800 Speaker 3: for months. 2386 01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:28,160 Speaker 2: I just think it's very noble. You're making forty nine 2387 01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:30,960 Speaker 2: million dollars. It's very nice that you're focusing on the 2388 01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:34,920 Speaker 2: job that's paying you forty nine million dollars this year. 2389 01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:36,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be. 2390 01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:38,200 Speaker 2: You know, that probably would have been a great conversation 2391 01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:42,520 Speaker 2: for another day of like just the the athlete podcast. 2392 01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:45,520 Speaker 2: Space is like, I understand you want to start a 2393 01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:49,240 Speaker 2: career for when you're out of sports, but I do 2394 01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:52,200 Speaker 2: think you know, Micah Parts has taken some heat. Paul 2395 01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:55,120 Speaker 2: George is apparently stepping away from podcasting for a while. 2396 01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:57,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's all. It's all well and good when 2397 01:57:57,840 --> 01:57:59,760 Speaker 2: you're playing in an elite level. Not so much when 2398 01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:02,240 Speaker 2: the Sixers stink and you can't stay on the court. 2399 01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:04,480 Speaker 3: But i'd personally write it into contracts that you're not 2400 01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:08,320 Speaker 3: doing a podcast while you're active, like while you're actually playing. 2401 01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:10,920 Speaker 3: You're not doing it. Not on my organization. I probably 2402 01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,720 Speaker 3: lose some talent because of that, but it's frustrating, Like 2403 01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:17,320 Speaker 3: I just I don't need that in my organization. You 2404 01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:20,640 Speaker 3: do that after you play football or you play basketball. 2405 01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:23,560 Speaker 3: You don't do that while we're amidst all of this. 2406 01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:25,600 Speaker 3: I don't think anything good comes from it at all. 2407 01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,360 Speaker 4: Good conversation for another day, but we got to get 2408 01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:28,880 Speaker 4: out of here for now. 2409 01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:30,680 Speaker 2: I want to thank the crew, Mary mack on the board, 2410 01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:34,520 Speaker 2: producer Bree, Steve Desager, for my partner Jason Martin.
