11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: eight weeks. It'll be a blast today. Good thirty forty

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: minutes with Nick Wright. Oh is enjoyable. So I thought

13
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: I would open today with some thoughts on a very

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: frightening scene with Damar Hamlin day night in Cincinnati. There's

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: been a lot of criticism by the media of the

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: NFL of not canceling the game immediately. And you know,

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: one of the things that I've learned running the Volume,

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: and the Volume we're up to about thirty employees, is

19
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: that our rule at the Volume is let's just get

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: it right, whatever process it takes, Let's just get it right.

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Communication in this world. Some of us are in Delaware,

22
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: some of us are in Sarasota, Florida. I'm in Los Angeles.

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: People are all over the country, different time zones. My

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: staff often is doing this at one in the morning.

25
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Why you know, it's only ten for me and I

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: try to think about that. Let's just get it right.

27
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: But it's not easy, right, communications not easy, And I'm

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: dealing with young people, good communicators, very verbal, good with tech.

29
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: So when Monday Night happened, a lot of people weren't

30
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: happy with a timeline. A lot of media people very

31
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: critical of the NFL. And if you're an actor, they say,

32
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: the greatest challenge is doing Broadway. Why because it's live.

33
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: TV films are edited. Ioways find that broadcasting is much

34
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: harder than this podcasting. Why because it's live. Business is

35
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: harder when it's live. I have known in my life

36
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: twenty five people who have worked for professional sports franchises.

37
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: An NFL game live game day is a massive, massive undertaking.

38
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: The NFL had the protocols in place that first responders

39
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: were on the scene and quite possibly saved DeMar Hamlin's life.

40
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: That's the win. The NFL called the game that's the win.

41
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too precious on Well, you

42
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: know the coaches. The coaches are the ones who actually

43
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: told the officials, who told the league. Well, that's okay.

44
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Let's say it was a natural disaster. The governor of

45
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the state can watch on television, but the governor calls

46
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: the mayor. The mayor calls the National Guard. The National

47
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Guard leader talks to the people on the ground. They're

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: seeing real emotions, real fear from people in a flood

49
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: or an earthquake. They're managing from the ground up. We

50
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: do that a lot at the volume. I manage from

51
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: my employees up. They tell me what they're capable of doing.

52
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: That's what the NFL did. They leaned on their coaches

53
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: who were next to the players, listening to the players cry,

54
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: watching them sob and the coaches said, we can't play

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: this game. And the NFL said in New York, okay,

56
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: we're canceling the game. The people writing columns ripping the NFL.

57
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: You get three or four chances at a column. You

58
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: can have lunch during the columns, stop writing, have a

59
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: tune of sandwich, then start again. You have a copy editor.

60
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: What if your column was live and you got one

61
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: shot at it. That's why writing on Deadline. You're a

62
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: baseball writer, Gaymns goes twelve innings, you have to write

63
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: you have one shot. Is harder? Is that? I think

64
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: sometimes we have to realize in the media the stuff's

65
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: hard that instead of being upset in the process on

66
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: how decisions were made, we're thankful that the NFL's got

67
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: great EMTs, great first responders, very compassionate coaches and players,

68
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: and that eventually they got Monday Night right and hopefully

69
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: saved Damar Hamlin's life. Live anything is difficult. Think about

70
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: the NFL business. A big chunk of it is performed

71
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: not only live, but televised. I mean, just putting a

72
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: camera on a reality show usually ends up people getting

73
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: a divorce. Just putting a camera on couples, how many

74
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: times do you see those couples in a reality show?

75
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Eventually they're separating. It adds stress. Live cameras go urgency.

76
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: I look at that as possibly saving a wonderful young

77
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: person's life. I'm just not going to nitpick the process.

78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: It's very possible. The NFL, you know, they're not watching

79
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: the CPR. There's a big difference between a player going

80
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: into an ambulance or on a stretcher and seeing CPR live.

81
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Even first responders who've gone through it hundreds of times

82
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: say that's traumatic. It's intense. You're saving somebody's life. Players

83
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: seeing that, most for the very first time. So listen.

84
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: The NFL does things I don't agree with. I don't

85
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: like a seventeenth game. I don't like the preseason. There's

86
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: an argument against Thursday night football. Those are valid arguments.

87
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: I've never liked the seventeenth game. You can't tell me

88
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: safety matters and then want your guys that deal with

89
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: sixty more punishing, punitive hits. You don't need the money,

90
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: so why are you doing it. It's greed, It's billionaire greed.

91
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: That's it. But in this instance, I think there's a

92
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: chance we saved a person's life. That's what I take

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: from what happened Monday night. So when Lincoln Riley took

94
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: the job at USC Oklahoma, fans made a lot of

95
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: jokes about USC's defense would be going down the tubes. Well,

96
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: it couldn't get worse than what he inherited. But Alex

97
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Grinch is under a firestorm of criticism for losing a

98
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: huge lead in the last three to four minutes of

99
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: that game against two lane and losing. All coaches have

100
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: blind spots, and perhaps Lincoln Riley's blind spot is his

101
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: loyalty to his friend defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. In Lincoln

102
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Riley's four bowl losses, he surrendered an average of fifty

103
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: two points. But it's also important, even in the transfer portal,

104
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: to acknowledge what Lincoln Riley inherited a four win team

105
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: with one legitimate NFL player, a second round defensive end.

106
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: I was told this by somebody close to the program

107
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: that when Lincoln Riley got there, they had about a

108
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: dozen linebackers a dozen. This is usc the late junior

109
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Sayo played there. Clay Matthews played there lineback West Coast

110
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: linebacker you for decades, they had twelve linebackers in the program.

111
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: None were NFL linebackers. Lincoln Riley was shocked by the

112
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: lack of linebacker talent. The offensive line had thirteen or

113
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: fourteen offensive lineman on scholarship. One Andrew Voorheis, a guard,

114
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: was viewed as being able to play this year and

115
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: eventually be draftable. So between linebacker and offensive line large

116
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: important units. There were roughly twenty five athletes, one pro

117
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: and one potential pro. That's what they inherited and the

118
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: transfer portal. Yes, USC got Jordan Addison and Caleb Williams

119
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: from it, but most players that enter the portal are

120
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: not playing enough for their liking. That's why they enter

121
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: the portal. They're not starting, or they're being phased out,

122
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: or they're being replaced at their program. So you can

123
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: improve your team through the transfer portal, especially if you

124
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: get a great quarterback or a star receiver. But I

125
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: would say a majority ninety percent of players that enter

126
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the transfer portal are not worth half a point in

127
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: a college football game. We have to be realistic. What

128
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley inherited was a mess. They didn't believe. They

129
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: didn't say it publicly, but a third of the players

130
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: on this team last year were not really packed twelve

131
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: football players. They weren't. They weren't packed twelve football players

132
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: maybe at the eleventh and twelfth programs, but they were

133
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: Divisioned one players. But they weren't viewed as people who

134
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: should be anywhere near a top ten fifteen program. Lincoln

135
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: Riley inherited a mess. He solved the offense in one

136
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: off season. My guests, it'll take him an entire second

137
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: off season to at least solve most of the defensive issues.

138
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: The defense will be better next year. Let's get to Nick, right,

139
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: all right, my buddy Nick right, Um. We haven't talked

140
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: to Nick in a couple of months. He's really busy.

141
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: First things first is a smash hit. It's crushing. You know,

142
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: it's funny, Nick, Thank you, buddy. You know, the show's

143
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: so successful. I've really nicely decorated my house with all

144
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: these you know, we get ratings bonuses. Yeah, I mean,

145
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: just wealth, just hitting me in the face. But your

146
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: producers won't let me show it off. They said, I

147
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: have to turn off all the lights. They said, you're

148
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: you're you're shaming Colin Coward. Collin's doing this from a

149
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: closet and you know, somewhere and I assumed the Upper

150
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: Valley in Los Angeles, and I've got this palatial estate.

151
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: I can't show it all. That's fine. Maybe at the

152
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: end of the pod I'll get up and so people

153
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: can see what a beautiful scene I have behind me.

154
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: But go ahead. Sorry, the um, you know, I was

155
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this because we don't get you

156
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: much anymore. And I do want to touch on the

157
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin situation. We're all praying for the young kid.

158
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a huge life ahead of him.

159
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: He's a wonderful guy. You can see the outpouring of

160
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: affection for him, right. But I'm in the media sometimes,

161
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm not of the media. They

162
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: always say that about Austin, Texas. It's in Texas, it's

163
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: not of Texas. I've never heard that, but I like that. Yeah,

164
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm in Park City, Utah, in Utah. It's not of Utah.

165
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: We drink there in party. Okay. So the reason podcasting

166
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: is easier than broadcasting is because it's not live, and

167
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: the reason broadway is harder than a film is because

168
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: it is live. Ye, And the NFL business is not

169
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: only live, it's televised. And I'm not going to pick

170
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: it apart for how they canceled the game. They had

171
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: first responders that saved his life. I listen, you and

172
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,239
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact same politics. We have similar

173
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: politics on a lot of things, and then on certain things,

174
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm basically left of linen and so you're you know,

175
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: so on those things we diverge a bit, but that

176
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is political or not,

177
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: but it strikes me as a little political, the idea

178
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: that the NFL by definition must be the boogeyman here.

179
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: So there is the logistics of what happened. So I

180
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: was actually listening to a great radio show in Kansas City.

181
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: It's on a rock radio station. But the friends of

182
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: mine have done it for twenty years, called the Churchilaslow,

183
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: and they've put on a lot of concerts, and they

184
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: were talking about this and what Laslow, the host of

185
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: it said. He was like, because he also thought the

186
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: NFL being criticized for not instantly saying game off. He

187
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: was like, there's nobody realized there's seventy thousand people there

188
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and that there is someone that has to make sure. Hey,

189
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: how we all of these people don't know the exact

190
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: circumstance on the field. They're not watching the broadcast the

191
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: inner you know what I mean. A lot of people

192
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: the internet doesn't work great in stadiums. They know a

193
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: player is hurt, and if all of a sudden it

194
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: is just announced game canceled, don't you think they have

195
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: a little concern of wait, are people going to get

196
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: out of here safely? Are people? So even if they

197
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: had measures ready for that, there's a lot of layers

198
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: it has to go through. And the idea that and

199
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I listen, you know Joe Buck really well, I know

200
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: him a little bit. I am not doubting that Joe

201
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: Buck was told, hey, the players have been you know,

202
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: it's five minutes. But to me, unless you are trying

203
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: to find a reason to say bleep you NFL, the

204
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: reason the five minutes thing happened is it has written

205
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: some were on a piece of paper. That's right. If

206
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: there is a some type of on field incident and

207
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the delay is so long, you are allowed to have

208
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: five minutes to get back warm. And so when someone's like,

209
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: so what do we do here, somebody said, well, I

210
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: guess I guess they think that five minutes. But that

211
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: was never gonna be five minutes and it was never

212
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna be played again, and the it was and I

213
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: think smart people knew that, but they like to blame someone.

214
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: So now that's what I think happened. Now here's my

215
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: maybe two deep thoughts on it. Because we saw people

216
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: get mad at the NFL. We saw people get mad

217
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: at tweets. We saw people get mad in tragedy, people

218
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: search for a villain when often there isn't one. Often

219
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: it's just shit. That was awful, and I hate that

220
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: it happened. Furthermore, I I think lashing out at people

221
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: who prevents people from having to do the moments of

222
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: introspection of all Right, so if this is no one's

223
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: fault and this is just the potential cost of football, yeah,

224
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: oh boy, what does that say about me? Who bases

225
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: my entire weekend around football? What does that say about me?

226
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: That's a hard That's like a hard moral question. Am

227
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I morally complicit in that? That's like a you know,

228
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: we need a philosophic philosopher to talk us through it.

229
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: You know what's easier? These fucking guys don't care about

230
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: the players. Give me a break, Like, give me a break.

231
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: And I'm not acting like the NFL is has always

232
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: put players safety first. They clearly haven't. And I'm not

233
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: an apologist for the league, but I'm gonna say one

234
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: other thing. I don't even know if they can cancel

235
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the game immediately without talking players union. I think there

236
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: has to be a lot of phone calls that happened

237
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: or something like that can be done. So I wasn't

238
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: looking for a villain here. I just and and it

239
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: is people rallied in the end and have done an

240
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: amazing thing and the go fund me. But I wish

241
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: it was more natural instead of searching for a villain.

242
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: It would have been just as easy to say, oh

243
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: my god, what a remarkable job by the people who

244
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: recognized in seconds his heart stopped, knew what to do,

245
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: unscrewed the face mask, Zach gave him the defiberlation, CPR,

246
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: all of it. And if you did want to be

247
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: an NFL apologist, you know what you'd say, Hey, they

248
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: have like they evidently have a protocol in place for

249
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: what to do if a player's heart stops, even though

250
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: in my entire life watching football, they've never had to

251
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: use it. And it was executed perfectly, Like I don't

252
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: know that's the So I don't know if that's the

253
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: right answer, but that's you and I agree on this one. Yeah, no,

254
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: I think I even I try to personalize stories and

255
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: say what would I have done? Or Since I've started

256
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: the volume, we're up to about thirty employees, and one

257
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: of our rules is, let's just get it right. Whatever

258
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: the process is, let's just get it right. And so

259
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: we don't get too precious on the process. As you know,

260
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've been doing this for thirty years. What

261
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: we do is small compared to like pro football. But

262
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: over the course of sometimes you know, you do things

263
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: in your marriage, on your show, with your kids, in parenting,

264
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: and you come to conclusions in crisis and argument a

265
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: school issue. How can I just get this right right?

266
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: How can I morally get it right? How can I

267
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: get the decision right? Is? Things are sloppy, you know,

268
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: things are Listen, man, When I watched there's a lot

269
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know about childbirth, and then I watched it live,

270
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I really like the final result. Yeah,

271
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that I can do without.

272
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: Can I just come in after it's delivered next time?

273
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: We all know professional athletes care about what they look like,

274
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: and as you know, I care about what I look like.

275
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: Right now, I've been wearing a lot of cuts clothing.

285
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: so um. All right, I want to talk to you

286
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: about There's two coaches in football that I think bother

287
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: the media, but Jesus they're good. Brian Kelly has won

288
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: everywhere instantly. He had a terrible incident at Notre Dame.

289
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: A young man died. He is gruff, he turns purple

290
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: when he's screaming at players. And Jim hark does a

291
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: really really crummy cagn accent out of nowhere, but go ahead. Yeah.

292
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: And Jim Harbaugh. And because Jim Harbaw, I think he's

293
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: on the spectrum and he's awkward and he doesn't really

294
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: need the media. I think I get along with people.

295
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: I struggle with him. People don't understand it. Harbor went

296
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: forty four, nineteen and one in a division with arguably

297
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: the mo talented team in football in twenty years, the Seahawks.

298
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: The Seahawks won six games and went to three straight

299
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: NFC Championship games with Alex Smith and Cap as the quarterbacks,

300
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: and Cap had a nice moment. The Cap wasn't a

301
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: blue Chipper. Alex Smith was considered a bust and immediately

302
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: contended for championships and contended at Stanford and turned Michigan

303
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: into a contender. Yeah, so I thought about this. You know,

304
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: when we do a show, I have opinions, but sometimes

305
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: I'll sleep on it. Is that in college the NIL

306
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: has actually helped coaches because it used to be you

307
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: were felt guilty for making money because players weren't. Now

308
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback at USC can make five million. Nobody talks

309
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: about coaches salaries, but a lot of these situations at

310
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: Michigan you do feel like your salaries published. You're the

311
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: highest paid state employee at eight million. Or you go

312
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: to the NFL make eighteen and nobody cares. Now you

313
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: get fired sooner, but nobody cares. Is that? I think

314
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: to myself, I wouldn't I wouldn't leave Michigan. But I

315
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: do wonder now once the players get paid, the downside,

316
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: because I'm for the players getting paid, but the downside is,

317
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: well shit, if I'm gonna have my players paid and

318
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna transfer any time. I'd rather just be a

319
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: pro coach and make twice the money and not deal

320
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: with the NC double A and we're gonna lose a

321
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: lot of these great coaches and not have to deal

322
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: with is he academically eligible? I would listen. I think

323
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: some people love recruiting. I think I would hate it.

324
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: I think the grind of the travel, plus there has

325
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: to be an element of and I don't want to

326
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: sound like an old man. And again, some coaches love it,

327
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: and maybe that's why they're coaches, because they love that thing.

328
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: But of like trying to convince a seventeen year old to,

329
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, date you essentially, that seems again, I don't

330
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: think i'd love it. I don't think it'd be like

331
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like, well, I got a fly

332
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: to Baton Rouge because this seventeen year old kid that

333
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: I thought was going to come play for me, now

334
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go play for Texas, So I

335
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: have to explain I have to win over him, his

336
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: mom and his dad like that. So I would far

337
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: prefer pro coaching, where you're dealing with with grown ups.

338
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: You only have to worry about the football part, and

339
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to convince twenty twenty five new guys

340
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: every single year to come play for you. What is

341
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: interesting to me is it does seem like the money

342
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: in certain instances college you know, I mean, you tell

343
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Colin in certain instance seemed like

344
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: the money's bigger in college football. So like did melt Tucker,

345
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: Who's what not one of the fifteen best coaches got

346
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: ninety million dollars? Like knowing that very few NFL coaches

347
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: have that. So I think for certain guys, college is

348
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: a better deal. Hardball. Here's the thing I want to

349
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: say about Hardball, because I I think Hardball is a

350
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: great coach, a great coach. And I made the point

351
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: on your show five years ago when I was filling

352
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 1: in for you, and then I made it again the

353
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: other day that he has an argument that if the

354
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: question is I need someone to coach my football team,

355
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: but I won't tell you if it's college or pro,

356
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: he should be the number one draft pick because you

357
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: can say, well, I'll take Belichick. Well what if he's

358
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: it's Alabama? Like, well, you know what I mean? Okay,

359
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: No, no no, no, I'll take Saban, Well, what if it's

360
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: the Jets, Like Hardball has a proof of concept at

361
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: both levels instantly good, So I think he's a great coach.

362
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: The one thing I think the media is getting wrong

363
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: with the Hardball story is this they're like, oh, the

364
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: new owners of the Broncos, they're the Walton family. They've

365
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: got seventy billion dollars. When it comes to coach salaries,

366
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: the difference between seventy billion net worth and seven billion

367
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: network is irrelevant. Well, the coach salaries, it's like, oh,

368
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: they can pay him twenty million a year, so can

369
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the owners, Like, as long as you've

370
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: got more than a billion, you can pay the coach anything.

371
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: So the idea that the dit Broncos have this leg

372
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: up because their owners are so rich, I think people

373
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: have it wrong. I don't think it's the three richest

374
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: NFL owners have an advantage. I think it's the four

375
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: NFL owners that don't have real money are at a

376
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: huge disadvantage. So whether I think those teams are at

377
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: a real disadvantage, but I think I think every I

378
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: think eighty percent of the teams could hire a twenty

379
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: million dollars a year coach on a four year deal,

380
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: fire him and do that five consecutive cycles and have

381
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: four hundred million of dead coach money and it doesn't

382
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: affect their bottom line at all because they are multi

383
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: or Decca billionaires. I think there's a few teams, whether

384
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: it's the Cardinals, the Raiders, whomever, where it's like, oh, man,

385
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: do they have to keep the coach because they can't

386
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: afford to pay the buyout? A couple NBA topics. So

387
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: I try to watch half an NBA game every night

388
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: in the treadmill. I love it, so that's my goal.

389
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: So I get on the treadmill and I watch half

390
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: an NBA game, usually like an East Coast game. So

391
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: I watched Brooklyn and they're playing really well. And this

392
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: is where I tend to be in my career. I

393
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: do football heavy, Super Bowl ends, I go skiing, or

394
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: I go to Mexico, come back, and then I'm totally

395
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: into the NBA, NFL Draft, NFL free agency, but I'm

396
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: an NBA fan and I kind of block it off.

397
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: I do Labor Day to February tenth as NFL see

398
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: it's so funny. I'm this just real quip where you

399
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: get to your question. I know people kind of perceive

400
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: me as an NBA guy because I'm like the Lebron guy,

401
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: but I'm the exact same one. So I might watch

402
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more because of the coast I'm on,

403
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: and I have met season tickets, so I go to

404
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: some games and do that. But as far as the

405
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: media I consume, I listened to a lot of podcasts. Yeah,

406
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't listen to any NBA podcasts right now, I'm

407
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: not reading it like I am. It's to me, this

408
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: is it. Football season is football season with a few

409
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: big time NBA games mixed in, and then the moment

410
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: I get back from vacation, it is nothing but hoops

411
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: for the next four months, and then go on another

412
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: vacation and then we're in the NFL again, And this

413
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: is just like the cycle that yeah, but go ahead,

414
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: but go ahead. So one of the reasons I don't

415
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people in our profession,

416
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: especially NBA people that they watch this early season stuff

417
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: and I always kind of think time out. I mean,

418
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: last two nights ago, the Celtics gave up one hundred

419
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: and fifty points to the thunder player without Saya, so

420
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: it's it's not even some teams are arrested, are exhausted.

421
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: Who'd you play the night before? It's like the San

422
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. Everybody that plays them the next

423
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: week or two fourteen. So in the NBA, if you play,

424
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, if you play the Celtics the night before

425
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: and they're arm wrestling you and playing defense the next night,

426
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna play well after. So I watched

427
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets, and here's my takeaway on them. They're

428
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Sun Steve Nash team. They are totally built

429
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: for the regular season. You come in light rest, the

430
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: guys come in after shoot around, they get thirty minutes

431
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: of film putting their shoes on, they watch them, and

432
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: then you got to face Kyrie and Durant and Simmons

433
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: and it's a hard matchup. You put them in a

434
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: series and I can go at Kyrie six times defensively

435
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: where he won't play. I can put Simmons on the

436
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: foul line in any big spot. That Brooklyn is tough

437
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: with little prep, infinitely beat able. With with that, I

438
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: agree with that. I think that's a smart take and

439
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: but they also I will give them credit listen, since

440
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: Kyrie came back, they're eighteen and three. They're also one

441
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: game in December. Here are I got three potential issues

442
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: with Brooklyn. The first one is Kyrie's you know, you

443
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: ever been to like a construction site and they have

444
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: that little thing that the days without an incident, and

445
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: every day it ticks up. It's like forty six, forty seven.

446
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: We are approaching the most Kyrie days without an incident

447
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: we've had in about six years, which means that some

448
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: bitch might be going back to zero any moment. Now.

449
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: There there's a chance I think is getting reset. So

450
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, Kyrie's on his best behavior, and I'm like, yeah,

451
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's been six weeks and that's good, but

452
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not booking that as the norm. Okay,

453
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: that's the first thing. Yeah. The second thing is this

454
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: and this is a good thing and a bad thing.

455
00:28:52,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: Then Durant is playing some some from an offensive perspective. Yeah,

456
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: some of the best basketball in league history right now.

457
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: So I put a thing on the TV show yesterday

458
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: where NBA dot Com will break the court down into zones,

459
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: like not just quadrants, but like there's like eighteen of

460
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: them as far as where you take your shots from

461
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: right and red. If the color beneath you is red,

462
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: it means you're below average. If it's the color of

463
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: the court, it means you are average, and if it's green,

464
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: it means you're above average. On those eighteen zones, Kevin

465
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: Durant had fifteen green, two Beijian, one red. The one

466
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: that was ready. He has taken two shots from that area.

467
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: I think he'll probably make the next one. It'll turn

468
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: beijior green and another one he'd only taken five shots.

469
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: So he is from every scoring zone on the court

470
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: well above average, every single one. And I was like, wait,

471
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: is this true for all the great players? Nope, I

472
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: look Steph, it's like half of him. He has his spots,

473
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: Lebron it's like a third of them. But he's killing

474
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: you at the rim, Luke, it's the Durant is great

475
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: everywhere and he is taking tough shots. So the good

476
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: thing is he's an amazing player. The bad thing is

477
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: they need him to continue a level of offensive efficiency

478
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: that would make Prime Jordan blush as far as what

479
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: he's doing in the mid range and all of that.

480
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: And the last thing is what you said, which is

481
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: the Ben Simmons in the playoffs part of this. No

482
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: one is talking about it and no one is thinking

483
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: about but it is a major concern. I want to

484
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: say one other NBA thing to you, because Jannis in

485
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: his last seven is averaging forty and the other night

486
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: at fifty five and the Bucks are a game out

487
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: of first place. Yeah, so here is why. In my opinion,

488
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Jannis and Luca have shown beyond a shadow of a

489
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: doubt they are the two best players in the league.

490
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: Yannis won, Luca two. Every other great player in this

491
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: league either this year in the last few years, if

492
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: their second best guy isn't there, the team struggles to

493
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: win half its games. Lebron lost ad team can't win

494
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: half its games. Steph a couple of years ago didn't

495
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: have Clay, they missed the playoffs. Yokich last year didn't

496
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: have Jamal Murray. They're the sixth seat. Durant this year

497
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie was going when he was going to sabbatical. There's

498
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. They're they're dead in

499
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: the water. Luca last year, Dinna have a second best

500
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: player whole second half of the season, playoff run. It's

501
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: like Okay, I'll just take us to the conference finals.

502
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: Jannis hasn't had Middleton all year. He's played seven games,

503
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: and seven games he played didn't play well because he's

504
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: still hurt. And they're a game out of first. That is,

505
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: those two guys are at a different level. The our

506
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: teams can beat contenders even without our second best guy,

507
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: And if you give me our second best guy, we'll

508
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: probably win the whole damn thing everyone else no matter

509
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: how great they are. And I threw Lebron in there too,

510
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: because he's still unbelievable. They need their full cast of characters,

511
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: not to win any games, but to contend. The Bucks

512
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: can contend based on the power of Jannis alone, and

513
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: I think the MAVs are showing they can do that

514
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: with Luca too very good. What do you make a

515
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: year less than you, buddy? It's really what do you

516
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: make of the offensive explosion in the last two weeks?

517
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: I can tend. I would say every season has what

518
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: they call the dog days, and I think after Christmas

519
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: there's a three week lull when you're still experimenting with

520
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: some defensive rotations. You're not here the trading deadlines, you're

521
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: not showing off people, yet you're giving certain players rest,

522
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: and so we're in The dog days are not the

523
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: end of the regular season because seeding really matters. It's

524
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: not right up to the trading deadline because you're trying

525
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: to show off certain people to move them. These are

526
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: actually even though the season only starts in October, the

527
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: dog days are like the day after Christmas until like

528
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: January fifth to tenth, and that nobody's playing defense right now. Okay,

529
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: so I listen. I think that's part of it. So

530
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you asked me this. I'm really glad,

531
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: and I have a much probably longer answer than you anticipated.

532
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: But I think you're like good. So here. So the

533
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: NBA right now, it's one hundred and thirteen points per

534
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: game is the league average. It's the highest it's been

535
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 1: in a very long time. Some context though, other than

536
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. In the last fifty the

537
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: highest scoring year was nineteen eighty five. Everyone's like, oh

538
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: my god, defense was so hard and they punched in

539
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: the face. It was one eleven per game in nineteen

540
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: eighty five. The only time it was pre nineteen eighty

541
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: five higher than this was the early sixties. This is

542
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: a sidebar, but I think you'll like this. Nineteen sixty two,

543
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: the NBA average one hundred and eighteen points per game.

544
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: That was one hundred eighteen in nineteen sixty two. So

545
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: whenever what else happened in nineteen sixty two, well will

546
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: average fifty a game. Oscar Averager triple double your guy,

547
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: Dragonfly Jones. Part of the volume pointed this out. Elgin

548
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: Baylor averaged thirty eight and eighteen, but he only played

549
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: forty eight games. Colin. He only played forty eight games

550
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: because Elgin got called up as an army reservist and

551
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: could only play for the Lakers when he was on

552
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: weekend leave, and he took coach flights and then dropped

553
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight a night on folks and then had a

554
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: sixty one point finals game. Okay, So why do I

555
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: bring all that up? Sixty two when all these crazy

556
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: records were set, different game. They're playing the in breakneck

557
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: pace and no one can make shots, so it's just

558
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: shoot miss, you get a rebound, shoot miss, get a rebound. Okay,

559
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: So throw those records out. Nineteen eighty five, why would

560
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: that be so high? Scoring? Wasn't three point line? It

561
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: had been invented, but people barely shot it. Well, the

562
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: ABA folded, the NBA hadn't fully expanded, and you had

563
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: a massive talent. There's too many good players, too many

564
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: good players. Then what happens late eighties, NBA expands, early nineties,

565
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: it expands again, and all of a sudden, NBA Finals

566
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: games are eighty five eighty three, and you look around

567
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: and you watch the Bulls jazz and it's like, that's

568
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: Jeff Foster and Jeff Hornet check and I don't want

569
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: to just say white guys here, but it was a

570
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: lot like it's and it's not. But people don't want

571
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: to say that because so much of the NBA is

572
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: rapp in, like the Jordan legacy. They're like, no, the

573
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: nineties were great, No, they weren't. So now we go here.

574
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Three point line huge part to do with it, undeniable.

575
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: People are taking a bazillion threes. Here's the other thing.

576
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: Right now, if someone were to say the three best

577
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: players in the NBA are Yannis Luca Yokich, well that's interesting.

578
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: So now we're getting guys from Greece via Nigeria, Slovenia

579
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: and Serbia. Yannis the other night he crossed up Chris

580
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: STAPs and got to the rim. I'm like, okay, that's

581
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: a seven foot four inch lot Vian trying to guard

582
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: a seven foot Nigerian Greek kid out on the perimeter.

583
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this because it helps my Lebron goat argument.

584
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying it because it's obvious. The players are packed,

585
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: are way better, and you have the entire world to

586
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: choose from, and so yeah, the defense isn't is physical,

587
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: but the game is smarter that people understand it better.

588
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: They understand where the efficient shots are. The three point

589
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: shot has proliferated. We're about to bring over a seven

590
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: foot one inch French alien who's shooting step back one

591
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: foot threes. Like, guys, it's just better. And it's not

592
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: to me a coincidence that you go back to the

593
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: mid eighties there was a scoring explosion. It's like you

594
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: have oh my god, you have magic. You have Larry,

595
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: the Aba is folded, you have Jordan come in, you

596
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: have all these great players come in, and there were

597
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: every team like all the great teams have like four

598
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: Hall of famers, And so that's my answer. So yes,

599
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think the what I think

600
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting because your point is the scoring

601
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: will go down a bit. You know, once teams care

602
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: more well, right now it's at one thirteen and in

603
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five one to eleven. So if it goes

604
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: down just a little bit, we're gonna be scoring at

605
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: the same rate as they did in the mid eighties.

606
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: And there's you know, there's that's gonna be hard for

607
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: people to reconcile, but that's why things happening. I also

608
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: think here's the other thing. Because there have been a

609
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: ton of fifty point games, but they've all been by stars.

610
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: It would be concerning to me, concerning the wrong word,

611
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: but more noteworthy to me if it was I don't

612
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: know if you remember this guy, Tony Delk, he played

613
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: it for a long time. Yeah, he once had a

614
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: fifty point NBA game, and he's kind of known as

615
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: like the worst player to score fifty. That sounds shitty,

616
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. Yea, if a lot

617
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: of average guys were dropping fifty, I'd be like, oh,

618
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: these numbers don't mean as much. But it's like, oh,

619
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: MBI dropped fifty, and Booker and Donovan Mitchell dropped seventies.

620
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: A lot. I'm not gonna lie that was a lot,

621
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: but it was also he had fifty eight at the

622
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: end of regulation and then when all honest, it's the

623
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: best players in the league dropping fifties, So that kind

624
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: of makes sense to me. Football seasons underway now is

Speaker 1: hadn't been on in a while. But but we'll do it.

657
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: Especially no, we got we can do this. Con I

658
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: love doing it, you know that. So I think I

659
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: said this years ago when ESPN did the phone, which

660
00:40:53,800 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: was a disaster, is that ESPN owed the industry to

661
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: roll the dice on the phone because they had the

662
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: capital to take big swings. They were making so much

663
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: money eight billion annually. They owed the industry. It would

664
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: have think about the industry today if it now owned

665
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: the phone industry or on cable TV. And and by

666
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: the way, those big swings. I never worked for ESPN

667
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: like you did, but I give them credit anyway for things.

668
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: Also created thirty for thirty that's a big expensive swing

669
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. Yeah, and it was you know

670
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: what I mean, it was awesome and like so that yeah,

671
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: the phone is like known as kind of a disaster,

672
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, but go ahead. Yeah. So I think the

673
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: Amazons of the world and the Apples of the world,

674
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: to elevate society artificial intelligence, have the money take big

675
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: swings on things because small companies can't. And to advance society,

676
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: that's important. So one of the things I believe, you know,

677
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: I've been doing this long time. I've very large audience

678
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: audio whatever. I never ever believe I'm the gatekeeper of

679
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: any industry. I'm not going to tell people how to

680
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: broadcast skip you. It doesn't matter, Max Kellerman, stephen A. Smith.

681
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: We all have different styles. I'm a believer and lean

682
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: into you. Whatever you is, do more you. But I

683
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: like occasionally and I believe in this strongly throwing out

684
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: a theory that could be absurd because I don't want

685
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: talk show host to feel they're trapped. I think I

686
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: owe it in a weird way. I see myself as

687
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get fired for a crazy take.

688
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: Who cares if anybody rips me. I have a huge

689
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: army of followers behind me. So I like throwing out

690
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: occasionally something that seems absurd. Okay, I like right like,

691
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: it's like I can do it. Who cares? It's I

692
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: have the you have the cache, credibility and career that

693
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: you can. You're not bulletproof, but you at least have

694
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, you're wearing it. You got some body armor

695
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: on and you can take some slugs your way. Yeah,

696
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: got it? Okay. So Mike Vrabel played with Tom Brady.

697
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 1: He is absolutely one of the smartest coaches in the league.

698
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: He knows the importance of the position, and he's now

699
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: in a conference where Trevor Lawrence looks like a top

700
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: five quarterback. He's in a conference with Mahomes and Allan

701
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 1: and Burrow and Herbert and Trevor Lawrence, all the good

702
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: young guys are in his way, and Bryce Young's about

703
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: to be there. That's right. And Vrabel is going to

704
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: get on the phone after this season because there's no

705
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: dead cap hit for Tannehill and he's gonna say, Aaron,

706
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: get the f down here. Oh it's Nashville. I thought

707
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna say he's gonna try to sighting Tom No

708
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: because you said he was friends with Tom. Aaron, So

709
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna say, Aaron, he's gonna play to his vanity, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert,

710
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, I need you. He understands quarterback. Aaron's never

711
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: had great defenses in green Bay. The one year he did,

712
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: they want it, so green Bay simultaneously would take a hit.

713
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 1: But because they're not paying Jordan Love and they could

714
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: afford it, they can't afford to cut him, but they

715
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: can trade it. They can't trade him and it doesn't

716
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: kill him, and they look at their division. Goss's not

717
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: a superstar. Cousins has limitations, Justin Fields has a defensive

718
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: coach and a dysfunctional organization, and they're like, screw it,

719
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: let's give it a run. For two years, we found

720
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: our two receivers. By the way, the cap hit isn't

721
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: his punitive that My hot take is Rabel's going to

722
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: get on the phone and try really hard to convince

723
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay's gonna say christ were walking

724
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: on eggshells for twelve years. Here Listen, I don't think

725
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Further, I thought you were gonna say Brady's

726
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna go there, and I was only gonna say that's

727
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: crazy because I don't think Tom Brady's moving to Nashville.

728
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: And again, I'm from Kansas City. I'm not taking a

729
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: shy away. I'm not comparing myself to Apple or Amazon

730
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: in this whole scenario. No, but in the No, what

731
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: you are doing is you are saying people that have

732
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: the ability to take big swings in any industry should

733
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: do it. So I you I in the in the

734
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: ecosystem of sports broadcasting, I don't know, I don't know who.

735
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: If you're not Apple or Amazon, I don't know who

736
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: is there. You know, whatever it is, that's fine, it's fine.

737
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: It we're listen. By the way, there's forty minutes into

738
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: a Nick Wright Colin Coward podcast. The people are still listening.

739
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: Either really love one of us or really hate one

740
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: of us. So don't eyth matter? So the but um so,

741
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: the Roger thing I'm gonna I hadn't thought about him

742
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: with Tennessee, here's what I do think. And Packer fans

743
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: are killing me for this. But I said after they

744
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: went four and eight and Aaron had the broken thumb,

745
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: that they should start playing Jordan Love. And now they're like, oh,

746
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: look at us now, and the answers really look at you.

747
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: Now what am I looking at? Like the it'd be

748
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: one thing if you were on this four game winning

749
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: streak because Rogers is lighting it up. On the four

750
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: game winning streak column, Rogers has four touchdown passes, he

751
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: has an eighty seven rating. They are averaging less than

752
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: two hundred passing yards per game. They're on the four

753
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: game winning streak because they have fourced twelve turnovers in

754
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: four games. They have two defensive touchdowns two. Uh we

755
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: now know was you know? I was dealing with a

756
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: serious injury and melted down. They played they give me

757
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: a break. I said, you gotta play love, and it's

758
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: not necessarily punting on this season, but whatever, you've got

759
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: to play love. And the reason you gotta play love

760
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: is the question I asked was, are you still in

761
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl business in Green Bay? Because if you are,

762
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,479
Speaker 1: you're not winning it this year. And what you need

763
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: to do is figure out can the kid play and

764
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: if he can play a little bit, But you're like, Okay,

765
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: he's not ready yet. Guess what. If you're still in

766
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: the super Bowl business and you're keeping Aaron Rodgers, someone

767
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: will trade your draft pick for him. You can use

768
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: that to help next year's team because this team is

769
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: not good enough if he's If you're still in the

770
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl business and he is good enough, well, guess what.

771
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: Then you have the conversation of do we trade Aaron?

772
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: But whatever it is, they should have used this time

773
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: to get information on Jordan Love. Instead, they are going

774
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: to blindly pick up his fifth year option, blindly having

775
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: seen him play one game against the Chiefs terribly last

776
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: year and a half a game this year. It's insane

777
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: and they're not going to be able to trade him

778
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: because nobody has seen him play. They're not gonna now

779
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: maybe they trade Aaron, like you're saying, But the risk

780
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: there is that Jordan Loves no good. Now I don't

781
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: think he's no good, but it's on the board just

782
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played, and so I don't think the

783
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: Packers have handled this right. I also don't think Aaron's

784
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: made it particularly easy for them, like throughout this process.

785
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: But I think the idea. You know, Mark Schlayret came

786
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: on my show and I said, no, what even my show.

787
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: It was the day I was filling in for you.

788
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: He came on your show, but I was talking to

789
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: him and I set made the point that I thought

790
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: the Packers should have played Love because they have to

791
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: decide his fifth year option. And he said he believes

792
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: they have already decided that they are picking it up.

793
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: And he didn't say he was told this. I don't

794
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: want to misquote stink. He said he thinks his theory

795
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: is that they're moving on from Aaron, that they've seen

796
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: enough from Love that that the reason they didn't play

797
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: him in this spot is because they knew this was

798
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: Aaron the end. They were gonna let Aaron get his

799
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: final run and see what happens. But it's an interesting

800
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: situation they have found themselves in. Can I ask you

801
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: one question before we go? Sure, everyone is saying the

802
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: NFC's wide open. The NFC has no juggernaut. Why are

803
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: the Niners not a juggernaut? They feel like a juggernaut

804
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: to me, man, how about this? So today a buddy

805
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: of mine, degenerate gambler, great guy's a fireman and Connecticut

806
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: good friend. He sends me shit all the time. He's

807
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: a basketball scout on the East Coast. Is so great.

808
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: And he said, for all those questioning brock Purty, he

809
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: goes Matt Campbell will be one of the finalists for

810
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: the Michigan job if Harball leaves. He's viewed as a

811
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: super sharp coach, he said. During brock Purdy's run, in

812
00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: the four years as a starter at Iowa State, they

813
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: were thirty and seventeen, twenty five and ten in the

814
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, and seven and ten record against ranked opponents.

815
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: Now that's not worthy. This is Iowa State this year

816
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: with Matt Campbell four and eight, one in eight in

817
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Wow, oh and four against ranked opponents.

818
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: Do we have Tony Romo Kurt Warner on our hands,

819
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: a great player that was undervaluated. Yea under evaluated short

820
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: under evaluated. Yeah, here's the thing. But I guess my

821
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: point is, even if he's not a great player, the

822
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: Niners won a game this year started by Trey Lanes.

823
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: They won a bunch of games started by Jimmy Garoppolo.

824
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: They're now undefeated with games started by Rock Purty. Sometimes

825
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: a team is not reliant on the quarterback, and it

826
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: would seem to be a team that has Nicky Bosa,

827
00:50:54,719 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead, an amazing defensive coordinator, that Hafonga who looks

828
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: like he plays three positions at once, the safety. They

829
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: have the best left tackle in football, maybe the best

830
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: running back in football, the second best tight end, two

831
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: awesome wide receivers, team kicks ass Man, and now am

832
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: I also kind of trying to speak into existence speaking

833
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: of good great friends of yours that have gambling problems.

834
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: I put, I did. I did this on my podcast

835
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,479
Speaker 1: What's Right with Nick right in the preseason gambling show.

836
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: I put I did a whole preseason show where I

837
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: did my season over under Betsy. And then you can

838
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: get on fan duel before the season super like you

839
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: could pick an NFC winner and an AFC winner and

840
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: parlay it. So just pick who's going to be in

841
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And before the year, Chiefs Niners was

842
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: fifty to one, not even a winner, not Chiefs over

843
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: Niners and Niners is just the Chiefs win the AFC,

844
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: Niners win, THENFCO is fifty to one. I put a

845
00:51:55,080 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on a column, so I've got that's a

846
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: live bet right now. That's a I think the Niners

847
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: to me, with what's going on in Philly with the injuries,

848
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: are the favorites in the NFC. And the Chiefs are

849
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: certainly at least co favorites in the AFC, And I

850
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: think the Niners. I think people are talking about the

851
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: NFC like it's wide open purely because and I get it,

852
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: it's not just a rookie. It's a seventh round rookie.

853
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: But the kids played great. Shanahan has proven he can

854
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: win in the playoffs without great quarterback play. And I

855
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: think this roster is stacked, stacked, so do I. And

856
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: Debo's coming back, and Debo's coming back. That's the other

857
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: thing to look at. Which teams this time of year

858
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: are getting healthier and which teams are getting more injured

859
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: Philly is the most injured it's been all year. The Chiefs.

860
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: Nobody cares because it's Mahomes. He hasn't had his number

861
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: one wide receiver for six weeks. They haven't had their

862
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: number one running back, who's not very good, but for

863
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: five weeks. Are both coming back. Like the teams, you

864
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: gotta that's something you always got to watch. It's one

865
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: of the things I worry about with your Bengals, Lyle Collins,

866
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: like you had that offensive line continuity all year. Lyle

867
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: Collins goes down, like how that is concerning to me?

868
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: One last vaulting before I go. I don't know if

869
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: I believe this or not, but it is into I

870
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: mean believe it, it's true, but I don't know if

871
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: I buy into it. The Steelers are seven and two

872
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: when t J. Watt plays. Seven and two when t J.

873
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: Watt plays, that's crazy. That team's got no one on offense.

874
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: I know Collinsworth was falling all ons about Kinny Pickett.

875
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: Dude's got hands smaller than your daughter and he's got

876
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: six touchdown passes. I don't think it's superstar all right.

877
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: Before we end hold on, I have to turn the

878
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: lights on in here so everyone can see what your

879
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: producers to pride the audience seeing. Hold on, wow, look

880
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: at this. I mean that's beautiful. I mean, isn't it.

881
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 1: Oh there's too much lights from being and down. I

882
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: mean we got artwork, we got Christmas trees the middle

883
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: of Harlem, New York. My man living a lot, and

884
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: Colin told me. Colin told me, he was like, Nick,

885
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna move to New York City. Rant don't buy.

886
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: You gave me that advice. I'll say, everyone else like buy.

887
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,919
Speaker 1: And he's like, man, you're gonna live in New York.

888
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna live in different places. It's crazy expensive. I

889
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: think Colin also knew I probably didn't have any money

890
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: to buy at the time. He was trying to be

891
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: nice and I haven't. It's great. I missed you. Rgeous.

892
