The end of the 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: third quarter and it's the Spurs still on top of 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: the Lakers by sixteen. The last Final four E Cup 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: berth at Steak and it's been the Spurs who jumped 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: out to a seventeen point lead in the first half 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: and they have been able to keep this up again 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: closing in the end of the third quarter without Wemby 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: and they are thumping LA ninety eight to eighty two. 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: We'll have more on this game coming up. Following the 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: conclusion of this game. Rick Bucker is gonna stop by 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: Fox Sports won NBA inside of the latest on this 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: all the big news out of the NBA. Now before 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: we get to the latest on Sharon Mordes. We talked 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: about a couple of quarterbacks a few minutes ago that 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: may or may not be playing on Sunday. Right, we 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: may get Philip Rivers playing on Sunday. Yeah, good luck. 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: Start the Seahawks defense. The other guy that we're not 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: going to see on Sunday. Honestly, at this point, I 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: hope we don't see him the rest of the year. 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels will not play Sunday against the Giants. He 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: got knocked out a last week's loss of the Vikings 31 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: after landing hard on his left elbow, which he previously 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: dislocated in Week nine. This is now the third time 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: this season he has had to leave a game because 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: of injury. As great as last year went, as great 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: a year as he had and what he showed, it 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: is one hundred and eighty degrees opposite it this year. 37 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: And you know, at this point, if you're Washington, why 38 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: bring him back at all this year? The season's over. 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: You have a lot of things to do to this 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: team to get it ready, to get back to being 41 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: the team you were a year ago, which was you know, 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: one step from the Super Bowl. Right, your team is 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: older you have to figure out a running situation, receivers, 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: your tight end. You know, we saw a couple of 45 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: big injuries and. 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: Earth this this has been yet. 47 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: It has been a bad season for a team that 48 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: got so far last year. You thought they were the 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: next great power in the NFC, and now it's almost 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: like they're starting over. It's an older team. They tried 51 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: to bring everybody back. It didn't work, and there's no 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: reason to have Jad and Daniels play because the last 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: thing you want, and I hate to say it, but 54 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: I see a lot of comparisons right now, is that 55 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of comparisons between Jade and Daniels and 56 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin, the third right. RG three came into the 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: league as a rookie and he was terrific, right offensive 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. He was amazing. Right he came in, 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: it was wow. I thought Andrew Luck was going to 60 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: be great. Oh, the Redskins got a guy back with 61 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: her with the Redskins and he was terrific. And then 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: slowly what happened. He had trouble staying on the field. 63 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: He couldn't he couldn't stay healthy. His running style, he 64 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: didn't wasn't able to slide, wasn't able to get away 65 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: from things. And as a result of him, you heard 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: a lot of stories about, hey, maybe things weren't the 67 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: rosiest there with RG three and and and his teammates. 68 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that part of it at all. 69 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: But the one thing that always pushes your football mortality 70 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: to the end is that if you can't stay healthy, 71 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: teams aren't going to continue to say you're our guy. 72 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: And when he couldn't stay on the field, this is 73 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: a guy taking number two overall in the draft, right, 74 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: this is as high as you took Jade and Daniels 75 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: that when you take a guy that I he's our future, 76 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: he's everything. But after a couple of years and RG 77 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: three couldn't stay on the field, it was we got 78 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: to move on. And then he tried to stick around. 79 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: He tried to start with through the Ravens a little bit, 80 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: and he had one bad pass in the preseason that 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: he threw thirty yards over the end zone. I don't 82 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: think he ever got away from that from that crazy 83 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: ass play. And because of that, because he couldn't stay 84 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: on the field, a guy that was all kinds of talented, 85 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: his career just fell apart, and Jayden daniels first year 86 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: was phenomenal, right, just like RG three now here, he 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: is three separate injuries this year, and you don't want 88 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: to go down like you don't want to be compared 89 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: to have a career like that. I do not need 90 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: to see him the rest of the year. I need 91 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: him to be incredibly healthy. I need to make sure 92 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: that the offensive line is as good as it can 93 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: be next year. And I gotta make sure he is 94 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: upright because yes, it's tackle football and I understand what happens, 95 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: but you got to make sure that this guy is 96 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: staying upright. You know, of course the Chargers are going 97 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: to go into next offseason going we got to get 98 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: way more offensive line because it didn't work this year 99 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: and justin Herbert's getting crunched every single time he plays, 100 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: so you need to do some roster adjustments to make 101 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: sure you are going to be able to keep him 102 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: healthy as long as possible. But man, first year, second 103 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: year like that's kind of followed, you know, a generation later. 104 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: RG three's career with with Washington and now where Jayden 105 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Daniels is. 106 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: Came in at an over one hundred and nine and 107 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 4: a half wins on the year. Expected regression, not to 108 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: this level of what the expectations were on the Vikings 109 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: after they shuffled up and dealt at the quarterback position, 110 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 4: but certainly a lot of one win game or one 111 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 4: score games and last minute heroics. So expecting a little 112 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: bit of a regression. But for Jade and Daniels, we've 113 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: we talked about it as he was drafted and all 114 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: through last year, the number of near misses and scary moments, 115 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: and this year it all came to pass, being out 116 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 4: multiple times. Unfortunate here as he goes back to the 117 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 4: injured list, Regina Jackson is going to come for you. 118 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 4: That's Jaden daniels mom back in October said quote, I 119 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 4: wish you would stop manifest and RG three on my son, 120 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 4: words are powerful. Was after a hamstring injury, so you 121 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: know now I got three. Yeah, he's a much bigger 122 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 4: injury and obviously one that could be a long standing issue. 123 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 4: But we talk about, you know, running quarterbacks, mobile quarterbacks, 124 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 4: the ability to protect yourself. Justin Herbert had a crazy 125 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 4: ass game, right Jim Harbaugh put the built another statue 126 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 4: for him. After that effort, we watched him run like 127 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 4: his hair was on fire. But we also saw him 128 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 4: sack seven times. So yeah, to your point, it's like 129 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: the Dodger bullpen a year ago. Right, Yeah, signed a 130 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 4: bunch of guys, but you might need another four or five. 131 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 4: That's their line. That's where you're at in Washington because 132 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: you've had guys in and out of the lineup all 133 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: year long, and the heart's injury. That's probably a career 134 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: ender for him. But and he was their leading receiver, 135 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 4: right because McLaurin had missed so much time, Like you 136 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 4: have some good pieces in Deebo Samuel getting a bit 137 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: older and beaten up all those years of seven carries 138 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: a game in San Francisco ofa taking their toll. But 139 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 4: now it's a completely reconstituted roster and you're gonna have 140 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 4: a second quarterback there, there's no question about it. It's 141 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 4: gonna be a captain. Kirk rise, Hey, I'm feeling pretty good. 142 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: Can I come back? You know you know that phrase 143 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: nothing good happens after midnight? Right? They always say that 144 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: when you go out at night, maybe nothing good happens 145 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: after midnight. Like I feel like in the NFL you 146 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: could say, hey, if you're a bad team. Nothing good 147 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: happens in December, right, But nothing good happens in December, 148 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: just so just when when it's that bad a year, 149 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: you're three and ten, your snake bit injury wise, there 150 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: is no reason to throw those guys out there again 151 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: and potentially hurt the future of your team. Like, if 152 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: you're a bad team, nothing good happens in December. You so, Jason, 153 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: at this point, you're it's almost time for next year. 154 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: That's you gotta worry. 155 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 4: But the fact that he got reactivated, we talked about 156 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: it when that news came out. It's like I didn't 157 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: believe I couldn't believe it. Yeah, I thought for sure 158 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 4: based on that injury. And obviously you know where we're 159 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 4: we only play doctors on the radio, and we've seen 160 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: plenty of times where it's like, wow, that looks terrible, 161 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: and then the guy's back three plays later. We've also 162 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 4: seen what we would call probably malfeasance a number of 163 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: times of a guy knowing just the right answers to 164 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: the concussion test or whatever to get back on a field. 165 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: Think about t Higgins just recently here for the Bengals 166 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 4: to where you're wondering how the human body, and you 167 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 4: marvel at the resilience of these guys, the aforementioned Herbert 168 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: being one of those guys that stands up certainly playing 169 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 4: with screws in his hand and whatever else. Hey, let's 170 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: go change the bandage because you're bleeding through and we 171 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: can't have that, you know, all of those kinds of 172 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 4: things that But for Jaden Daniels, the fact that he 173 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: got back on the field, I give him all sorts 174 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: of love for his toughness and wanting to be out 175 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: there and finish and try to kill off some of 176 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: these narratives. But clearly physically he was not ready to 177 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 4: get back out there. 178 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: The Jason Smith with Mike Carman Lott from the Fox 179 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: Sports Radio studios. We got more NFL on the way. 180 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: But to give you this new information that has come 181 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: in regarding University of Michigan head coach Charon Moore. Sharon 182 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: Moore is in custody tonight in a Michigan County jail 183 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: as a suspect in an alleged assault. This just hours 184 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: after he got fired by Michigan for having what the 185 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: school said was quote, an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. 186 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: Police released a statement on Wednesday night saying they responded 187 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: around four to ten pm to a house for the 188 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: purposes of investigating an alleged assault. Suspect was taken into custody. 189 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: This incident does not appear to be random in nature, 190 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: and there appears to be no ongoing threat to the community. 191 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: This is where Sharon Moore stands. We're twenty four hours ago. 192 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: The guy was about on top of the world as 193 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: you could be, and now here he is no job. 194 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Michigan's fired him for cause, which means he's not going 195 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: to get paid. And here he is an inappropriate relation 196 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: with a staff member of the Michigan football team. In 197 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: this story, with every hour, just gets more and more wacky. 198 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: And again, I'm sure by this time tomorrow we will 199 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: know more details on what happened, who's involved, what happened 200 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: with Sharon Moore in this incident we're talking about now 201 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: because there's just a lot of internet speculation happening right now. 202 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: And look, if there was one common narrative, I would say, Okay, 203 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: well this is what's being said. But there's like three 204 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: or four different things for each of these stories. Who 205 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: the woman was, he was involved with, for relationship. There's 206 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: a couple of different women that's support what is it her? 207 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: Is it her? 208 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 5: Is? 209 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: Is this even true? A couple of stories about why 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: he was suspected and assault. So again I look. I 211 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: always look at TMZ when TMZ is saying there's a 212 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: lot of stuff out there on the internet. Okay, I 213 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: understand TMZ, which is well connected as any newsroom in 214 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: the world, when they're saying there's a lot of stuff 215 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: out there, Okay, I get it. It means there's a 216 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: lot of stuff out there. But the bottom line is 217 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: Sharon Moore is no longer Michigan's head coach. And it 218 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: really gets to me that I still shake my head 219 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: and I can't believe how many people. Well we talk 220 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: about this with the WNBA, Right, what do I say, 221 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: Their biggest thing has been they can't handle success? Right, 222 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: extremely successful. Caitlin Clark comes into the league, Angel Reaves 223 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: comes into the league, Cameron Brink comes into the league, 224 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Paige Becker's comes into the league. All of a sudden, 225 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: it is the time for the league now. It is 226 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: incredible success whatever, whether you love or hate the timing, 227 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: because you were been in the league for a long time, 228 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: or you're the MVP, former MVP doesn't matter. This is 229 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: the time for the league. And still the WNBA can't 230 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: handle success. Players are fighting with each other, there's jealousy, 231 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: there's players being left off Olympic teams. People love Caitlin Clark, 232 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: they hate Caitlin Clark. They can't be thankful that Caitlyn 233 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Clark showed up. And now they have charter flights everywhere 234 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: and they're going through a CBA where more money is 235 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: going to get involved, Like, okay, you got to be 236 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: able to handle success and the number of people that 237 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: can't do it. And Sharon Moore's there's nobody that was 238 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: handed success more than this side. He's the OC on 239 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: the team that wins a national title. Jim Harbaugh has 240 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: to leave for the NFL because he's never gonna let 241 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: him coach in college again. After the sign stealing scandal, 242 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: right Searon Moore gets caught up in it, gets suspended 243 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: for a few games, but it doesn't matter. Michigan hires them. 244 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: They're paying them a lot of money. He beats Ohio 245 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: State last year, everything seems on the way up. He's 246 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: a guy that didn't have to go and coach at 247 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: seventeen different spots to get a job coaching Michigan. He 248 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: slides in, it's a great gig for a guy that 249 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: everybody seemed to like on the team, he won games, 250 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: Michigan seems to like him, the fan base is okay 251 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: with him, and he couldn't handle success. And now here 252 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: he is at Michigan, which was a top five job 253 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: in all of college football. Guy's been their whole lives 254 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: in college trying to get a job like this, head 255 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: coach at Ohio State, head coach at Alabama, wherever you 256 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: want to say, this is where I want to get 257 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: to head coach at USC And he couldn't handle success, 258 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: and this is where he's at right now. Now you 259 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: have an assault and an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, 260 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: Like how are you? How are you not there handling 261 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: your success? Because in life, right what do you really 262 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: want to do? Hey, I got the I got one 263 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: of the best gigs in the world. This is all 264 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: my attention right now, and instead I gave it away 265 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: because of inappropriate relationships and an assault, Like what is 266 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: I really I can't believe times, Mike, where people just 267 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: torpedo their own careers because they can't handle the success 268 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: that they have, and Sharon Moore is at the top 269 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: of that list. 270 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean in this particular case, right, we're still 271 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: awaiting a number of other details. As you say, there's 272 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 4: any number of rumors that you can start to go 273 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 4: down the rabbit hole and just wait a second and 274 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 4: you'll be pivoting to another in terms of the handling 275 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 4: of success.

He's 356 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: our guy, man. He is central casting one. 357 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 4: That is absolutely true that that would be the way 358 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 4: it did properly, especially the pictures that they also chose 359 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 4: of him. In every one of these stories. He's screaming, gesturing, 360 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: fist pumping whatever. 361 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: He's He's sleepless in a lot.

Uh, you know, cut off 364 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: his off his shirt like you know that when you 365 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: want to make a it's a little bit too tight, 366 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: so you cut the top of the neck of the shirt, make. 367 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: A little bit.

You're early leader in the clubhouse of 374 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 4: the odds markets. 375 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: Good luck. All right, So now to Peede Alonzo. All right, 376 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: and I'm being I know you think that I'm a 377 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: pod person. The last couple of days, Jase, you got 378 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: to be absolutely devastated. Edwin Diaz has gone to the Dodgers. Now, Pete, 379 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: Alonzo's gone to the Orioles, I have to say, and 380 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 1: I'm being honest with you, it's fine, and two things 381 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: can be true at once. With Alonzo. Did it suck 382 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: today when I heard that he that he went to 383 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: the Orioles for five years and one hundred and fifty 384 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: million dollars? Yeah? Did it suck that the Mets didn't 385 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: make an offer to him and they just said, hey, Pete, 386 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: good luck. 387 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations on a job. 388 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: Yeah done. It sucked. But at the same time, I 389 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: completely understand not giving a one dimensional first baseman who 390 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: you've had the best of him, and he's on the 391 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: wrong side of thirty one hundred and fifty million dollars 392 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: for the next five only I was understand that. I 393 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: understand that, No, we've seen his best, No we haven't. 394 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we've seen his best. 395 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 3: Oriols already paying him all that money if we've seen his. 396 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: Best, Okay, all right, yeah, he will lead the children. 397 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we've seen his best. 398 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: It's not suddenly where he was going to turn into 399 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: a guy hitting sixty home runs a year, knocking in 400 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty runs. That's not who he was. 401 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: The Mets had an incredible collapse this year. And what 402 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: I like about this is that there's clearly a plan 403 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: and David Stearns is bold, foolhardy enough to say, hey, 404 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: I'll wear the bulls eye because I know what the 405 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: vision needs to be for this team to take the 406 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: next step, and spending two hundred and twenty million dollars 407 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 1: on a closer and a one dimensional first baseman is 408 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: not where we want to spend our money. I get 409 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: it right. You can agree or disagree, but I get 410 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: that this is the vision for the team, and the 411 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: one thing you want your guys in charge is to 412 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: have a vision for the team. Now, the Mets aren't playing. 413 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: If they were playing tomorrow, I would say, all right, 414 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: we're in trouble. But there's guys like Kyle Tucker and 415 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger who can play all three outfield positions and 416 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: first base that the Mets are in. The Mets have 417 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: all kinds of money, and Steve Cohen is not afraid 418 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: to spend money to go upgrade at different positions. Right. 419 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: You know that coming off you can't just run the 420 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: same guys out there. Certain collapses happen in sports when 421 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: you blow a playoff spot or a game and you 422 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: just can't bring the same guys back. You just can't 423 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: do it. You have to have something new, And this 424 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: collapse was really bad. They went as far as they 425 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: could with this core of Lindoor and Alonzo and Nimmo 426 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: and Jeff McNeil. And why do you think two of 427 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: them are already gone and one of them's on the 428 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: trade block. Look, Lindoras is signed for a long time. 429 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: He's still a great player. But I guarantee you they 430 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: would look for Lindor if he was coming up at 431 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: the end of his contract, right, like it's it's time 432 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: to move, and say, who's our next core that we're 433 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna pair up with Juan Soto for the better part 434 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: of the next ten years, Like who's our guys we're 435 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: going to get right now? So I get that there's 436 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: a vision. I understand. I wasn't upset that Alonzo left 437 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: when he hired Scott Boris two and a half years ago. 438 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: I knew he was leaving. I said, at some point 439 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: he's gone. I don't know when, but Alonzo's gone. I 440 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: understand this, right, I get it. But did it suck 441 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: at the same time, Yeah, of course it sucked. Alonso 442 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: was great at the biggest home run in Mets history. 443 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: I drove to work last night listening to the ninth 444 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: inning call of Howie Rose of the the the home 445 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: run and the whole ninth thinning against the Brewers. And 446 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: by the way, it's still his typical Mets A two 447 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: years later, we signed the guy that gave up the 448 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: home run and we don't have the guy that hit 449 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: the home run. So that's Mets. That's typical Mets. But 450 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, it sucks because he's a homegrown talent and 451 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: he was great. I hope he would retire with the Mets. 452 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: He's a great story. But you know what, it's not 453 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: like there's I gotta say, boy, all those banner ceremonies 454 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: we have for World Series and nl pennance up there. 455 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: Boy maybybe letting Alonzo go was a mistake. You know, 456 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't see any of those. Yes, got to the 457 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: NLCS a year ago, wasn't nearly good enough this year. 458 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: You've had this core together for a long time, Alonzo 459 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: and Nimo and McNeil, and they have all been there 460 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: a long time. It's time to do something a little 461 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: bit different and to know that you're gonna have a 462 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: guy build the rest of this offseason, and there's star 463 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: players out there. You have a big farm system that 464 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: you can make trades with. They're good at and at 465 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, when it's okay, well, hey, 466 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: next year, it's Cody Bellinger playing first base and Kyle 467 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: Tucker in the outfield with with one soda, suddenly things 468 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: are looking a little good. Oh Suarez. Suarez is closing 469 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: games now, in addition to Devin Williams. Oh okay, I 470 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: get it. But the Mets had a vision and I understand, 471 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not upset about losing Alonzo. At the same time, 472 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: it does suck emotionally. It was a really tough day. 473 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: There was a like tears came to my eyes a 474 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: couple of times when I thought about when I saw 475 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: him hit the home run again and saw him running 476 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: around yelling let's go. When he first swung that bat 477 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: and he screamed at the plate, and I knew he 478 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: got it before anybody else knew it was a home run. 479 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: Just watching him scream, I knew. I said, we're winning 480 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: three to two. He knows he got that. Yeah, But 481 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: both things can be true. It can be the right 482 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: move and it can be a tough day at the 483 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: same time. Right, coming off a big year thirty one, 484 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: but he's gonna be thirty two.

Right Narco moves to the 501 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 4: West Coast, Timmy Trumpet tries to leave the l behind. Indeed, 502 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 4: a rule already learning how to play it as we 503 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 4: were Chronicle yesterday. Now you look at Pete Alonzo leaving 504 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 4: for Baltimore, he'll look very odd in an Orioles uniform. 505 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 4: And look, he's still in his early thirties and it's 506 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 4: only a five year deal. The fact that he can't 507 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 4: really do much defensively, there's no versatility. I understand your 508 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 4: point there, but you still have to go and ratchet 509 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 4: up in the free agent market and there's plenty of 510 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 4: bats out there. Just recognize that those guys are all 511 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 4: allegedly wanting eight to ten year deals. I want any 512 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 4: part of that for any of those guys really, for 513 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 4: the careers that Tucker and Bellinger have had and the 514 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 4: ups and downs and times that they've had, Yeah, let's 515 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 4: go give them eight to ten years. Especially Tucker after 516 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: that second half of this season he was the MVP 517 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 4: and then three weeks later going does he still hit 518 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 4: the ball? Like between me and Pete crow Armstrong, two 519 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 4: guys that suddenly is like someone stole their bats and 520 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 4: they had to go up there and hit it with 521 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 4: their hands and to make believes swing through like it 522 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 4: was going to be added like a lightsaber into Star 523 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 4: Wars Land. But all of that to say, it is 524 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: a much different squad that you're coming back to understand 525 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 4: the the emotion of it, all the pragmatism.

They're 730 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: both officially listed as questionable, but if they do play, 731 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: it'll be the first time all year the Bucks will 732 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: have their top four receivers on the field together. Now, 733 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this. I believed in the Bucks 734 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: early part of the year Baker Mayfield was playing at 735 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: an MVP level. Then teams kind of figured out, Oh, 736 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: when you really don't have anybody to throw to and 737 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: your receivers are hurt and Bucky Irving, who's been your 738 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: safety net, is out, yeah, we can control your offense 739 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, look, as good as Baker 740 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: Mayfield has played, they really hit the skids. But now 741 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: you talk about a team that I can see the 742 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: last month of the season, right, Hey, these last four games, 743 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: who can really hit the next level and be a 744 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: dangerous team. I'm looking at Tampa right if they get 745 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: all their guys back for Tomorrow night, this is a 746 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: game they're They're playing against a Falcons team that's done. 747 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be a new head coach next year, 748 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a new lot of things in Atlanta. 749 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: Pennix is out, it's Kirk Cousins who's been terrible. This 750 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: is gonna be Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is gonna be 751 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: a get right game for them. And I know things 752 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: have been tough, but they're still near the top of 753 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: the division and they're getting healthy and these you know, 754 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: getting Evans and Jalen McMillan back.

They're that team 764 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: or early part of the season was great, middle was bad. 765 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: The end is great. They beat Atlanta big time tomorrow night. 766 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 4: Fun finish to the year ahead for them.
