00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: I am.

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm missing out a little bit, but

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: I'm being kind of like a staunch old man on

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: the threads thing because I feel like we do this

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: about once since since Ethan Ethan good Job taken over

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: on Twitter, since Elon Musk has taken over Twitter, I

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: feel like about once every other month, people are moving

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: on to some sort of new platform and they're just

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: done with Twitter, right, I can't remember what it was

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: like six months ago.

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: And then there was something called.

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: Blue Sky that you had to ask to be a

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: part of, and I was like, bleep that I'm asking

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: to be a part of your social media site. I mean,

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: you want to talk about implosion. And now we got Threads,

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: which is one of the more Instagram like Twitter things

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: we've ever had in our life without reels. I just

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: I've made a staunch stance here before we dive into

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: all the sports news. If Twitter goes down, I'm going

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: down with it. I have too. I'm to committed. I

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: don't have the energy kfig to try to build a

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: new following on a site that it does and even

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: let you look in sequential time order.

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm good if Twitter doesn't make it.

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I don't think I need another social media platform in

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: my life. I think I'll be okay with Instagram. I

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: think I'll be okay with the Book of Faces. I

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: think I'm good. I think I'm good. How about did

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: you start a Thread's account to this week or no?

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: I have not yet started a thread's account, but it

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: certainly could be pending. And by the way, with your

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: massive TikTok following, what do you even need Twitter for comactly.

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys have to understand something here and

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: as we come to you live from the tire rack

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: dot com studios.

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: This is not me being facetious. It is true. Well

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: not just at tire rack dot com is great.

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: They'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping,

Speaker 2: free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I waste enough time on a daily basis on Twitter,

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: and then you add to it. Now this horrific addiction

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: that I have to Instagram reels.

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Could you imagine kfig.

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: If I actually had TikTok, which is Instagram reels in

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: real time?

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Yes, which it's steroids. Yes yeah.

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: Instagram reels is everything that was on Twitter like a

64
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: month later.

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: TikTok is all right.

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna do anything in life but sit here

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: and play on my phone, right and I can't have that.

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: I gotta I've got to be a functioning member of society.

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: It's hard enough to put my phone down with Twitter

70
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: and with all of my apps when I follow everything

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: that's going on in sports. So call this old man

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: yelling at Clouds to start the show today, kfig. I'm

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: just if things don't work with Twitter dot Com or

74
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: this bird app, I think I'm out. I don't think

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: Threads is gonna be a thing for me. I don't

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: think Blue Sky is gonna be a thing for me.

77
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: I don't think Parlor, if that's even still a thing,

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: is gonna be a thing for me. I don't think

79
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: the other I can't remember the other one. We try

80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: to build up. It's just, you know, the last time

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: we did this, everyone's like CBS News has moved all

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: of its content off of Twitter and it's putting it

83
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: on Instagram.

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: And then like literally a week later.

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: It was back like, hey look, CBS News magically back

86
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: on Twitter.

87
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Smiled how that works? It's okay? Thing pretty crazy, so crazy.

88
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: Although I will say, and there was something that happened

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 3: earlier this week where I guess it was on a

90
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: trial basis. Twitter was restricting the amount of tweets you

91
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: can see in a twenty four hour period or something

92
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: like that.

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: It happened during our show. It was during our show.

94
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: It happened during our show last Saturday morning. Because I

95
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: do we'll get to win. Bin Yama I mean, everyone listen.

96
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: If you want to know the dumbness of Twitter, just

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: follow the trends on wim bin Yama or listen here

98
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: tomorrow throughout the day today with everyone.

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: That's like, I've seen it. He's boss, you know, he's

100
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: just not any good.

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: But we were. I do two shows on Saturday. Well,

102
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: I mean with Anthony how I do two shows. I

103
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: do a college show after this, which I love, by

104
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: the way, thanks dude, and which is a much different

105
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: world when you're coming off a four hours talk show.

106
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you absolutely, But no, I.

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: I thought I broke Twitter.

108
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: I really did, because we got through our show yesterday,

109
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry Saturday, and then all day long I couldn't

110
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 2: get back on Twitter.

111
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: It kept saying rate limit exceeded. And in the early.

112
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: Days, back in the early days of Twitter, the wild

113
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: wild West of Twitter, that meant they shut you down.

114
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: That meant, all right, you've been you've been on Twitter

115
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: too much. You need to take a chill, you need

116
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: to step away. And I think it was just part

117
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: of the technology, and everyone lost their mind. And then

118
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: in the process of last Saturday, we found out that

119
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: something called data scraping was a concern and people that

120
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: had the Twitter blue, all of a sudden, we're giving

121
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: like eight thousand characters explaining why this was necessary. Then

122
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 2: tweet deck went down, and then it was like, well,

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: you can't have tweet deck unless you have I mean,

124
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: it just became an absolute s show. And I would

125
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: love to have like one one to one hundredth of

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: the income that Elon Musk has. But there is one

127
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: area that he is absolutely terrible. I mean absolutely, Elon.

128
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: You're communicating is not his strength and doing so in

129
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: a way that can explain it without sounding like an

130
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: a hole. So he had to sound like a pompous

131
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: a hole when explaining or eight limited seeded and all

132
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: of that's like maybe you should step outside. And then oh,

133
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: I don't think people realize even though it's free for

134
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: a lot of people. I don't think people realize kfing

135
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: how much for yeah, influencers, I guess would be one

136
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: way to put it, writers, marketing people, Twitter's a big

137
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: freaking deal for them, right, they need it. And when

138
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: suddenly you have a guy that's like why don't you

139
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: get outside read a book or something, It's like what

140
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: are you doing?

141
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: That is, yeah, what are you doing.

142
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 2: So I think they've got it fixed now because I

143
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: haven't had that.

144
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: Problem since well, and from what I understand, it was

145
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: a trial basis to see how it will work out.

146
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 3: And by the way, with Elon, I'm pretty sure he

147
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: was very intentionally doing what he did and trying to

148
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: get a out of people.

149
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: That does not surprise me.

150
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: But I will say not only for writers and media

151
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: organizations and Twitter and influencers, I mean for us if

152
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: we're to pull back the curtain, but I mean we

153
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: use Twitter especially more than any of the social media

154
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: platform for what we do because nowadays there's no AP

155
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: ticker at least not that I know of.

156
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Do I know of either?

157
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, news breaks now generally speaking on Twitter first. So

158
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: when when we have breaking news and one of the

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: insiders says something, generally speaking, they send out a tweet.

160
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: We monitor all of these tweets and we present it

161
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: to you guys over the air. So it does actually

162
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: help us and what we do in a great way

163
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: in delivering our listening audience breaking news that you potentially

164
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: might not be able to see if you're driving around

165
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: or working or what have you. So it does add

166
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: extra value for what we do as well. Could not

167
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: agree more so with that in mind.

168
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: No threads to check out yet, Yes, but find us

169
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: on Twitter at kfig one. I'm at Plank Show and

170
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: everybody should follow us at Fox Sports Radio. Okay, what'd

171
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: you think? It's been wild to watch the reaction. I

172
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: did not know there were still Britney Spears fan accounts

173
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 2: that decided to take Wimbin Yama getting dunked on last

174
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: night as the greatest moment for Britney Spears since I

175
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: don't know what her debut album since oops, like yeah,

176
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: since since oops, I did it again dropped?

177
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean it was.

178
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: It was pretty hilarious to watch it, but I kinda

179
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: I kind of got what I what I expected. I

180
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: saw some of those moments where you're, damn, this guy

181
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: is going to be good, and I saw some of

182
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: those moments where I'm like, hey, he's a he's still

183
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: a gangly nineteen year old kid. I just I'm okay, fig.

184
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting him to go out there and put

185
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: thirty and twenty on the board last night, and I

186
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: knew when he didn't, there would be people that would

187
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: lose their mind. If you listened to the Brian Windhorsts

188
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: of the world who have spent time around him and

189
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: watched a lot of them. He warned everyone, listen, it's

190
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: not going to be he's pretty sometimes you know, he's

191
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: gonna get dunked on, he's going to get embarrassed. But

192
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: every now and then there's gonna be a play where

193
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: you're or you're just jaw dropped. And I kind of

194
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: got what I expected, But I was blown away with

195
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: some of the reaction by people last night. Well, actually

196
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: shouldn't say that. I work with Arnie Spaniard. He can

197
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: watch one shot and tell you that a guy's terrible

198
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: or great. But I just I don't know, okay, Fi,

199
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: I was a little bit blown away how quick and

200
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: knee jerk we wore to a certain degree. But then

201
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: on the on the other side of him, like, why

202
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: does anything like that surprise me with how we reacted.

203
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on the on the ladder part

204
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: of that, the way that we are such an instant.

205
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 3: You know, a guy struggles in his first game and

206
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, he's the worst player in the world,

207
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: And why did you draft from first? Overall realizing that

208
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: this is a kid who's as lanky as it gets.

209
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: And I was actually encouraged to your point taking some

210
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: positives away. I mean, his ability as a passer looks spectacular, right,

211
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: not being able to finish in the paint, all right,

212
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: he weighed eight pounds. He's gonna put on some weight.

213
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: He's gonna get stronger. And for the people that want to,

214
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: you know, overreact to a guy struggling in his in

215
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: the summer pro league. Or I remember when Shoeyo Tani

216
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: came up with the Angels in the spring training and

217
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: he was awful, absolutely terrible, embarrassingly bad. Hit like seventy

218
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: seven regular season comes out and all of a sudden,

219
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: he's Showeo Tani. Derek Rose was terrible in his first

220
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: summer league with the Chicago Bulls, turn into an MVP.

221
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: Was one of the best point guards in the league

222
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: for five six years before he ended up getting injured.

223
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: It's gonna take time for these guys to come in

224
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: and develop, So I wish that people would not overreact.

225
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: But because he received so much hype, so much, you know,

226
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: a drama coming out of the draft that he was

227
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: gonna be the savior of the league, the next Lebron

228
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: James all of that. If he doesn't show in his

229
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: first game by getting thirty and twenty that he's capable

230
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: of doing that, then people are gonna freak out and say,

231
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: this guy's going to be a giant bust. So it's

232
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: just it's unfortunate, but that's just how the sports sports

233
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: cycle goes.

234
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: If you didn't watch last night and there's a party,

235
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: that doesn't blame you, Right, I'm not a I'm not

236
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: a big summer league guy. I usually pushed back against

237
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: some of it just because And again, if you're up

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: early and Okasey love you four oh five, but you know,

239
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: anyone that does anything good in the summer league Kfigre's not.

240
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what happens whenever we get

241
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: back after it in the fall, it quickly becomes Cole

242
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: Aldridge is going to be the next Larry Bird, right,

243
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: or you know, Trey Man is like Chris Paul on steroids.

244
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: You're like, can everyone kind of calm down just a

245
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: little bit. I'm I'm of the belief. I'm of the

246
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: belief that there are things you can take from the

247
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: summer league. I also think that there's also things that

248
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: you need to make sure you put in perspective, and

249
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: we don't do that. We don't do that the Royal

250
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: we I feel like I'm at my old age. I

251
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: feel like I'm getting a little bit better about doing that.

252
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: Twenty two to twenty three year old Chris Plank, if

253
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 2: Twitter was around, would have probably been out there like

254
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: this guy sucks someone mix in a cheeseburger.

255
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: What's he doing? Right?

256
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: But I get it, It's part of the process. But

257
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: I keep pulling back. I keep thinking Draymond Green was right.

258
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: Draymond Green was right. Draymond Green was I'm gonna keep

259
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: saying it all morning long, and I'm gonna play the

260
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: clip as the show progresses. But he said it many times.

261
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: I got Paul George's podcast, which, by the way, Draymond

262
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: Green's said a lot of really good stuff on that podcast.

263
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: That kind of I like Draymond Green whenever he's bouncing

264
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: off someone else, when he's just sitting there and riffing,

265
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, this is painful. But you get him

266
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: in a setting where he's got Paul George and I

267
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: don't remember who else was on with him, but it

268
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: was he kept saying, and it's true.

269
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: They are setting.

270
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Up a level of expectation for this kid that is unattainable.

271
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: You know, we did the same thing with Lebron, We

272
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: did the same thing with Ben Simmons, We did the

273
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: same thing with Zion Williamson, and as you.

274
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Know, mixed bagger results so far.

275
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know about you, Kfig, but

276
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: with the talk around Victor winbin Yama, it's almost been

277
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: another let even from what I remember with the kid

278
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: out of Ohio Zion.

279
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Zion was different because.

280
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: He played college ball and we all had a chance

281
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: to see him, and we all had a chance to

282
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: jar our own conclusions, and we saw someone that was

283
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: built like, oh gosh, I mean an NFL edge rusher almost.

284
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, look at this guy that was.

285
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 2: Doing things physically with his feet and how he was moving.

286
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: He're like, damn, this guy is going to be incredible

287
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: and he can't stay healthy. But I even feel from

288
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: that it's kind of on that level of unseen. And

289
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: I also felt like last night was the first time

290
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people even got to see him play

291
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: outside of highlights from France. So if you missed it,

292
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: he finished the night stat line wise two for thirteen,

293
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: but he still scored nine points, had eight rebounds, eight rebounds,

294
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: blocked five shots, and had three assists. And you hit

295
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 2: it on the head. He can flat out and flat

296
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: out moved to basketball. That kid almost has a second

297
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: set of eyes. But he got dunked on. He fell

298
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: trying to defend a couple of guys. You could see

299
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: that it was a little bit awkward at times, and

300
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: then afterwards, I think I think this audio will work well.

301
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Afterwards he talked about just still trying to find his

302
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: way over.

303
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 4: I'm glad we won this game. There's no better way

304
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: to start, uh, to start for a premiere and uh, yeah,

305
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: you know, I'm honestly, I didn't really know what I

306
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: was doing on the court tonight, but it's uh, it's

307
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 4: you know, I'm trying to learn for the mixed games,

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: and the importance is to be ready for the season.

309
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: You know, you know, it's funny. I love that approach.

310
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: Like, listen, I'm still learning.

311
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: Didn't really know what I was doing last night, but kay, fake,

312
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: it's going to be part of the process with him.

313
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he.

314
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: Seems to be mature enough to understand that it's not

315
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: all gonna come quickly and come easily, and like he

316
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: f into the san Antonio sper mode right the humble quiet.

317
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: So it just just happened to work out that he

318
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 3: will fall into the lap of San Antonio. So I

319
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: think I think he's in good hands down there with

320
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: Pop Get, a chance to have a resurgence for that franchise,

321
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: an injunction of life. But as far as I'll say,

322
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: as far as the hype goes to, I do remember

323
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: Lebron James Get. He got so much hype on he

324
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: was even sixteen, a couple of years before he was

325
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: even eligible to come into the draft. Now, maybe it

326
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: was different because he was a domestic player. I feel

327
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: like Victor wimbona kind of burst onto the scene for

328
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: a lot of people, maybe around this time last year,

329
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: or maybe slightly before the draft of last year. But

330
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember when Lebron was coming out, people said,

331
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: this guy is Maggie Johnson and Michael Jordan rolled into

332
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: one and You're like, this is there's no end in hell.

333
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: This guy can live up to it, and you can argue,

334
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: I would argue that he's actually surpassed expectations. I mean,

335
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: as of right now, for most people. The conversation between

336
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: who's the best player of all time begins and ends

337
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: with him and Michael Jordan. Like, so he came as close.

338
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: The problem with Victor Wimbinyama is, like Chris, he can

339
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: he can have a career of like in a chem Olaju

340
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: and still be considered like not reaching its full potential.

341
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: You could sit there all day long and come up

342
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: with ways to dump on that. Not your take, Kevin figures,

343
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: but on what Victor winbin Yama did last night. Yeah,

344
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean you easily could or you could you know,

345
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: stop and realize, dang, that was game one.

346
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: He gonna play again tonight. Yeah.

347
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: By the way, we're gonna sit here and I would

348
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: imagine through the next you know, three hours and forty

349
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: five minutes, we're gonna retext, we're gonna hear from experts,

350
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: and in the end we're gonna say audio said what

351
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: eight am Central times six am on the West Coast,

352
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna turn around and say, oh, yeah,

353
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: by the way, you can watch them again tonight, and

354
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: every single hot take that you had from last night

355
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: could completely be irrelevant by the time that things wrap up. Yeah, well,

356
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: hold on not tonight tomorrow night, whenever the Spurs play again.

357
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: By the time they play again on Sunday.

358
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: Go nine to thirteen scored twenty eight points with seven

359
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 3: block shots and fifteen rebounds.

360
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the greatest player who ever lived.

361
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: I told you what he learned. That's what he does,

362
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: k fag He learns and adapts. All right, So there's

363
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: Wimbin Yama. I would love to hear your reactions this morning,

376
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: Wimbin Yama coming up in just a bit. In fact,

377
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: I was telling I think it was Ethan or Mark.

378
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: During the break, I went and Doug, you brought up

379
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: a really good compare Otani's first spring training Derek Rose's

380
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: summer league debut.

381
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: There's more. There's more, but I've got some numbers from.

382
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: Those that will blow your mind, all right, and we'll

383
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: get to them coming up in a bit. I can

384
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 2: hear you. I don't need numbers. I saw it with

385
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: my eyes. Hey, he's this, he's that.

386
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: Okay. I still, by the way, there was I still came.

387
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: Away, blown away with how he can handle the rock,

388
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: blown away at seven foot. What he keeps growing every

389
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: time people talk about him. Right, he was seven three

390
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: and a half ninety seven to four. Now he's seven

391
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: to seven. And we got the whole Britney Spears mess

392
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: we haven't even talked about yet. But as we come

393

399
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: on the East coast. You missed a doozy last night

400
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: in San Diego, and it happened because the Mets are

401
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: suddenly good.

402
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: Swayna groundball toparts the left side. It's throw with the

403
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: left of base hit Alvarez scores. Here comes Tommy famb

404
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 5: he scores without a throw. It's a two run single

405
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 5: for Francisco Lindor.

406
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: And in the end, the Mets.

407
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: Swinging a fly ball right field, drifting back as Starling

408
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 5: Marte on the warning track. He's there, he makes the

409
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: catch and the ballgame is over. The Mets, in extra

410
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 5: innings defeat the San Diego Padres seven to five.

411
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: Now, there's a great line in the movie Pulp Fiction

412
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: where who was the Wolfman was trying to get on

413
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta, and he uses a

414
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: rather crude phrase about to not start celebrating a little

415
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: bit too early, if you know what I mean. So

416
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: there is a moment where the Mets win. They make

417
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: it six in a row, but there's still four games

418
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: under five hundred. They're not going to factor into the

419
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: National League East conversation. But in this era of the

420
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: wild card and three wild card spots, you know, suddenly

421
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: you move up to you know, under double digits back.

422
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here and proclaim

423
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: that at six and a half back of the wild

424
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: Card suddenly, kfig look out, the Mets are back.

425
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: But for as much as this team has been.

426
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: Destroyed, dogged, mocked, made fun of, Buck, Showalter has stayed

427
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: pretty resolute and saying, hey, don't let us get hot.

428
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: And I know that's what everyone says when they suck.

429
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: But do we suddenly look at the Mets and think

430
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: they've turned things around or do you need a little

431
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: bit more in your body of work and your evidence.

432
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: I still need to see a little bit more.

433
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: I think it's encouraging that they've turned this thing around

434
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: so far, but I mean, you look.

435
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: At who they've beaten.

436
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: They've beaten a good Diamondbacks team, obviously, but you know,

437
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: and the Giants have been solid. But I mean, I

438
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: really don't necessarily trust the Mets at this point in time.

439
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: And also I have concerns about their pitching staff being

440
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 3: able to hold up throughout the course.

441
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: Of the year.

442
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: With Verlander and Shurs have both had to deal with

443
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: injury issues. They're both pushing forty Verlander's already forty. I

444
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: have concerns about their rotation. Offensively, I think they should

445
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: end up being fine. I think Lindor finally gets hot

446
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: and starts turning things around.

447
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 6: You know.

448
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: I think from an offensive standpoint, they are just underperforming,

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 3: similar to San Diego. No, they're not as good of

450
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: an offensive lineup as San Diego is. But I do

451
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: think some of their regular some of the guys that

452
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: they've been relying on, just have not been hitting for

453
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: whatever reason. So you get those guys to turn it

454
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: around a little bit. I do believe they can compete

455
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: for a wild card spot. But I actually, if you're

456
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 3: asking me today, do I think they're actually gonna make

457
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 3: it there? I'm not ready to say that quite yet,

458
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: mean either me neither, but I think it's fun. Here's

459
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 3: Buck Showalter afterwards last.

460
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: Night, what ultimately do you think one the game?

461
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 7: I'm almost guys, I said, that's it, and the only

462
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 7: thing I can tell you twenty things. You know, Verlanders,

463
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 7: much like Max, you know, not carrying his normal stuff

464
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 7: in command and getting staying engaged. Those are the games

465
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 7: that I am really, you know, honored and proud to

466
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 7: watch those guys pitch because they get out there and survive.

467
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 7: In those games. Mark Canni is sticking his nose in

468
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 7: there and blocking the ball, and throw them out at

469
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 7: third base, throw him out first base. I'll be having

470
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 7: a very professional bat hitting the ball of the way.

471
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 7: The conversation I had with Jeff McNeil about getting him

472
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 7: over said even I said, I want breaking ball, first

473
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 7: pitch and try to hook him, and he did. You

474
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 7: let me keep going about ten other ones.

475
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 2: It's it's a start contrast to some of Buck show

476
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: Walter's press conferences. But I'll tell you what, as much

477
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: as I enjoy, as much as I enjoy watching fan

478
00:22:54,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: bases that are constantly miserable, stay miserable, remember the Raider exactly,

479
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: it is pretty cool to see the way that the

480
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: Mets have righted the ship.

481
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: For now. We'll see if they can keep it going tonight.

482
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: Against the Padres, but at the very least keep up

483
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: alive in New York.

484
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: It's not the only baseball that happened last night.

485
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: We need to get to coming up in just a bit,

486
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets single handedly putting the Dodgers on the cusp

487
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: but first place, but first as we come to you

Speaker 1: You mentioned the Mets, They've won six in a row.

498
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: They beat the Padres seven to five and extras on

499
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: Friday night. Padres saw their three game win streak snapped

500
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 3: Arizona snapping your four games skid as well with the

501

Speaker 3: in that game as well. For Charlotte, he scored fifteen

509
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: points on just five of fifteen shooting in what was

510

00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: back to Chris Plank, I'm a sucker for John Jones,

517
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: by the way. Yeah, there's certain things in sports, kfig

518
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: that I will always fall for.

519
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: And this is history too. I would always buy Mike

520
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: Tyson fight. I would always buy Mike Tyson fight. UFC

521
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: if Rampage accent was in it, I was in. I

522
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: was in. And now John Bones Jones, that's that's like

523
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: my guy. I think he is one of the most

524
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: exciting and entertaining fighters on the planet. Now you got

525
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: to separate the mess that he's been away from the cage.

526
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: Of course there have been many Yeah, she was outside

527
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: of the couchess man, but whenever I heard he was

528
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: fighting step A.

529
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh our stime. Sorry. I was like, ah,

530
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: let's go. I'm in on that.

531
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: So I I know it's probably not going to be

532
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: what I wanted to be, but in my mind, I'm

533
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: envisioning like this incredible fight.

534
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: So oh you'll same. Well, both of those guys are

535
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: past their prime at this point too, but Doog John's

536
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: still a great fighter technically undefeated. I know he lost

537
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: by DQ, but he hasn't actually lost a legitimate loss

538
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: in his UFC career.

539
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: He made Daniel Cormier cry.

540
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: Right, I mean he literally one of the greatest heavyweights

541
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: of our era, was in tears. Now come, I love

542
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: Daniels and Oklahoma guy, I'll defend you to the hill.

543
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: Right.

544
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: He was on performance enhancing drugs, but even when he wasn't,

545
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 2: he still beat the snot out of you. So I

546
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: am I'm a big bones Jones guy. I can I

547
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: cannot wait, cannot wait see that fight. Hey, We're brought

00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: baseball that we need to get to, and you brought

554
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: up the Dodgers. I am just so intrigued by whether

555
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: or not they can continue to patch this pitching staff together.

556
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: It seems like every single time things get going for them,

557
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: something happens that steps him back injury wise. Yet last

558
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: night it was a Mookie being incredible, and well there

559
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: was there is also this certain catcher who is starting

560
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: to come into his own forum.

561
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: And Will Smith.

562
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: With a home run over the wall and left beyond

563
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: the out of town four more, Will Smith's thirteen home

564
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: run of the year.

565
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Here's the thing.

566
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: They have not been a bad baseball team this year

567
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: by Dodgers standards, right, They're not where they should be,

568
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: but based on the way things have gone, based on

569
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: the injuries that they've dealt with. And I know it

570
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: was your Angels last night, and we'll get to that

571
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: coming up after the top of the hour with show

572
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: Hay and the injuries, and he's still playing it when

573
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: one for three last night with a run scored.

574
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: Also had to walk.

575
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: But to see Mookie Betts do what he's done over

576
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: the last few weeks. He was three for four last

577
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: night with four runs batted in. Will Smith went three

578
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: for five. You know, the top three hitters in the

579
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: lineup had seven hits and seven of the eleven runs

580
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: batted in for the Dodgers. They went through four different

581
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: pitchers and maybe maybe even though he walked a few guys,

582
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: maybe Tony Gonsolin's best for perfemance of the season so

583
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: far as he continues to work his way back. I'm okay, fake,

584
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm starting to believe a little bit. They're only a

585
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: half game out of first place right now, behind that

586
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: really good Diamondbacks team who seems to be coming back

587
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: to earth just a bit.

588
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: They're four and six in their last ten games.

589
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers in now twelve games over five hundred,

590
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: this amazing baseball team in Cincinnati. The Dodgers would have

591
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: a game and a half lead over them in the

592
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: National League Central right now. They're in a good spot

593
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: as far as the wild card is concerned. I know,

594
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 2: should we were talking about this with the Mets and

595
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: Mets fans suddenly feeling some sort of way. Should Dodger

596
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: fans be feeling some sort of ways as maybe they've

597
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: turned the corner a bit, or do you have to

598
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: pull back and say, hold on just a little bit here, cowboy,

599
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: that was three or four that they took from the

600
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: pirates and they just lost a series to the Kansas

601
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: City Royals before then, and now a hobbled Angels team

602
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: coming into town. Is okay to get over your skis

603
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: or do you need to get that perspective a little

604
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: bit as to their competition.

605
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: Well, have a little bit of.

606
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: Perspective and also realize where they sit right now. You know,

607
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: was at fifty to thirty eight. You know, they've had

608
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: so many injuries. You talked about the ups and downs,

609
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: and as soon as it looks like they're turning to

610
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: a corners, something else pops up. You know, the starters

611
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: were terrible for a while and the bullpen carried them.

612
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: Then the bullpen was awful and the starters carried them.

613
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: Then the offense has pretty much been consistent all season long.

614
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: You know, their top guys Freddie Freeman, Mookie Bets, and

615
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: Jady Martinez have pretty much carried them offensively. Max Munsey

616
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: has power, but he's hitting under the Mendoza line. A

617
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: couple of their young kids that they're expecting a lot

618
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: out of having really produced a whole lot.

619
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: James Aubman got off to a good start, cooled off.

620
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 3: Yo Vargas might possibly get sent down, is something Dave

621
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: Roberts alluded to on Friday. So, considering all the adversity

622
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: that they've been through, all the injuries on their pitching staff,

623
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: for them to sit where they currently sit, I would

624
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: be encouraged.

625
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: I'd be cautiously optimistic.

626
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: Now.

627
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: The issue is, as you inch closer to the postseason,

628
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: you're gonna need arms. And right now they're hurting. Right now,

629
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: they're hurting in this stardened rotation. They're hurting in the bullpen.

630
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: Daniel Hudson just went down and he may be out

631
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: for an extended period of time. So the biggest concern

632
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: for me with the Dodgers as they move forward it

633
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: is I think they have enough horses to make themselves,

634
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: you know, pretty comfortable as far as getting into the

635
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: wild card or winning the division even But it's like

636
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: once you get there and having the requisite amount of

637
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: arms to get you to the promised land I think

638
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: will be my major concern, but those are things that

639
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: you could potentially shore up at the trade deadline. But

640
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: so all things considered, I think I will be costly optimistic,

641
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: is how I would frame it right now.

642
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: If I were a Dodger fan.

643
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: It's interesting to me, kfik because I've always wanted to

644
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: see the Raiders look at me, see the Dodgers go

645
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: with a little bit of a youth movement that's about.

646
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: The same fan base of workers.

647
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: It's how I feel right now. They're both letting me down.

648
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: Bile I I gotta tell you something. They went with

649
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: a bit of that youth movement this year, and then

650
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: everything I ever wanted, I'm like pissed. Now, I'm like,

651
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: why do they go get X guy and free agency?

652
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: Were they trying to trade for this guy? When I mean,

653
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: it's just it's so dumb. I'm such a dumb fan sometimes.

654
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: And the injuries mount up, right, that's the may and

655
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: his I love this kid's stuff. I'm just starting to

656
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: worry with injuries. Is it just gonna be almost impossible

657
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: to overcome? Already have to keep preaching patience here is

658
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: I love the death in the inconsistency at.

659
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: Times, injuries this year for him to injuries for him.

660
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: I just I wonder if maybe you got to pull

661
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: back and say, calm down. This has been a pretty

662
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: blessed run for the Dodgers over the last decade.

663
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: But it's still a good.

664
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: Enough team with enough talent to where they can make

665
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: a run. Now that run might not be to get

666
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: to the World Series, and it might be difficult to

667
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: overcome anything that's happening right now in Atlanta. The Braves

668
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: just look like they're on another level. And to be

669
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: honest with you, I don't know if the Reds have

670
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: the pitching, but they've definitely got the offense and the

671
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: energy or I don't want to see them in any

672
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: series in the postseason if they continue this hot streak

673
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: and get there. But to see the Dodgers start to

674
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: turn it around a little bit, that's been a positive

675
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: thing I think for Dodger fans everywhere.

676
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then one thing I'll say too before I

677
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: check out here you're talking about you know what the

678
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: fan and you jump sound say, is why.

679
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: Didn't we sign this guy? Why didn't we keep Trey Turner?

680
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: Why all those guys that you're talking about were on

681
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: the roster last year that won one hundred and sixteen

682
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: games and lost to the Padres in the first round.

683
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: That's right, So it's really about who's playing well, who's

684
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 3: hot at the right time. This Dodger team can get

685
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: hot at the right time in the first round, eliminate

686
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: the Braves, who have the best record of the National League,

687
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: and make a run to the NLCS of the World

688
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: Series with just a couple of veterans at the top

689
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: and a bunch of young guys you just don't know.

690
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: You know, having a great team with all stars, superstars

691
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: up and down the roster doesn't guarantee you anything, especially

692
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball.

693
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: Victor woman Yama made his debut last night. If you

694
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: missed it, he finished with nine points, eight boards, three assists,

695
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: five blocks, but the story was the two for thirteen

696
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: and he got dunked on. But when we come back,

697
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: will continue to give you reasons for optimism, and it's

698
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: wild Kfig. We've talked a little Dodge Baseball. We dove

699
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: into the Mets from last night. We've obviously talked a

700
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: lot about Wimby's debut, but the early reactions on Twitter

701
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: dot com is demanding college football talk dive into it.

702
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: Next on Fox Sports Radio, my man's Shady Sean on

703
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: Twitter at Shady Sean for twenty, which must mean his

704
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: birthday is April twentieth or something significant.

705
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: On the twenty.

706
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: Always says, I don't do a good job of letting

707
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: people know on Twitter when we're on the air. So

708
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 2: I'm I consider if you were up early and you

709
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 2: caught it or stay not late on the West Coast

710
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: party that you got like a bonus hour with Kfig

711
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: and I. So the tweet. Here's the tweet that I

712
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: have can instructed. Ethan is the producer. If you want

713
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: to fine tune this, Kfig, if you feel like we've

714
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: missed anything, make sure I'll let you. We get into it,

715
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: said hanging out Kfig Fox Sports Radio. Right now, right now,

716
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: Wimby debut, Mets back, Dodgers, trying to figure it out,

717
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: Oh Tani on the move, which we'll get to next hour.

718
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: Under the radar college football storylines and is there really

719
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: drama with the Bills? Sound like a good promotion tweet

720
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: to you guys, I like you, Ethan, you good with it.

721
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: I'll take a time. I'm do with it. I'm happy.

722
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: I shall hit tweet and then as soon as I

723
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: tweet it, I'll find five or six spelling errors.

724
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: That's the way I go. That's the way it lives.

725
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: I have pumped to hang out with you, Kevin Figures,

726
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: because I know I can talk college.

727
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 3: Football with you anytime, anywhere. Let's go and next hour.

728
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: Here's my challenge to you next hour, right, because I've

729
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: got well and you know what, I want to give

730
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 2: you more time my hour three. I want you to

731
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: think about these for hour three. And I'm just gonna

732
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: tell you I'm stealing this. But yet it's not like

733
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 2: it was an original thought from the dude who posted it. Okay,

734
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: no fits and my man Peter Burns over at ESPN

735
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: and the SEC Network, but he posted this yesterday. And

736
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: we're reaching that point in the college football season. We're

737
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: forty nine days away from week zero.

738
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 4: Right.

739
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: Let me give you some numbers here real quick.

740
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: We're thirty three days away from the first preseason NFL game, right,

741
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: We're sixty one days away from the NFL opener on

742
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: a Thursday night. We are forty nine days away from

743
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: week zero in the college football season, and we are

744
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: fifty six days away from the first full Saturday of

745
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: the college football season. So, in other words, skinting here,

746
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: it's getting here. So here here's my question for you.

747
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: Let's see it is our wrapping up hour one. We're

748
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: going to kick off hour three with College Football Talk.

749
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: Biggest storyline heading into the twenty twenty three college football season,

750
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: most overblown storyline, the most underrated team, the team with

751
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: the most pressure, and the biggest surprise.

752
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: So there's there's five. We'll reset them throughout the show.

753
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: And I've got a couple of under the radar storylines

754
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: I want to get into, but they think about that

755
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: k thing And I'll shoot you the tweet just so

756
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: you have it, because you know me, I'll forget about.

757
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: It if you don't find me whenever we get to it.

758
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 2: So, and I'd love for y'all that are up early

759
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: to play along too.

760
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: It's very simple.

761
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: Biggest storyline, most overblown storyline, most underrated team, team with

762
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: the most pressure, and the biggest surprise.

763
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: Possibly I will say this now.

764
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: Every one is like, oh gosh, who's going to be

765
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: this year Cincinnati? And who's going to be this year's TCU.

766
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: Let me give you just one piece of advice when

767
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: looking for that team, find a squad that has experience. Experience. Now,

768
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 2: you're not going to find it necessarily with the Georgia

769
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: teams because they graduated a lot of people just like

770
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: they did of the year before, but they're replacing first

771
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: round NFL picks with five star college football talent out

772
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: of the high school ranks. But a team like TCU

773
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: last year who ended up getting a lot of guys drafted,

774
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: Max dug and Kendre Miller, Quinton Johnston, among others. That

775
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 2: was a veteran team, that was a team that while

776
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 2: they I think the term that a lot of TCU

777
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: people used was topped off in the transfer portal, the

778
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: more you kind of dig into it, bro they did

779
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: a little bit more on top and off in the

780
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: transfer portal. There was a lot of guys that played

781
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 2: major roles for them. But still look for a team

782
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: that's got a little bit more experience, and I think

783
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 2: I found one.

784
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: I think I found it.

785
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: We'll get into it a little bit later on in

786
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: the program. But k Fig wim Bin Yama's wim Bin

787
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 2: Yama's debut, thank You is the talk of the sports

788
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: world this morning, and I thought you said something that

789
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: made a lot of sense. We are not in an

790
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: era where patience is a virtue anymore. You better have

791
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: a piping hot take, and by god, it better be

792
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 2: judgmental right away. Victor Winbinyam is going to play another

793
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 2: game on Sunday, and everything that happened here tonight will

794
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: either our last night will either be old news or

795
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: it'll be hammered home that he's just not what we

796
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 2: thought he was. Let me take you back to a

797
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: little year known as twenty eighteen. Shohei Otani made his

798
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 2: big league debut in spring training with the Los Angeles Angels.

799
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 2: Otani as a pitcher, at least from what I could

800
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: find only through two and two thirds of an inning,

801
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 2: gave up three home runs and had a twenty seven ERA.

802
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: And at the plate, kfig As you brought up four

803
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: for thirty two, hit just one twenty.

804
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: Five and changed him. I said, he hit seventy seven. Well,

805
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: obviously he was a rock star. Now how he looked back.

806
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: I mean, if he could have done that one what

807
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 2: I say, won twenty five over point zero seven seven,

808
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's incredible, but it just it shows you

809
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: and you brought up Dereck Rose. In Dereck Rose's Summer

810
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: League debut, I found the story Michael Beasley didn't care

811
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: about the players that were there. He scored twenty eight

812
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: points in twenty three minutes. Derek Rose struggled, looked jittery

813
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: and shockingly unsure of himself at times. In this showcase,

814
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: the top two players.

815
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: In the draft. Boy that really ended up playing out,

816
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't it. So just calm down.

817
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 2: Everybody calmed down a little bit, and when we come back,

818
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: accentuates the positive from the debut. Victor winmbin Yama last

819
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 2: night Summer League game for the Spurs.

820
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 8: Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball.

821
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,959

822
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 8: about the stories about what made these people love their

823
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 8: sport and all the interesting interactions along the way. We

824

00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: Kayfink, I feel like every hour we'll just open up

839
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: with what everyone will likely be talking about a majority

840
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: of the day today, and that was the debut of

841
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick in the NBA Draft, Victor

842
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: Winbin Yama.

843
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: It's led to a.

844
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: Myriad of hot takes all over at Twitter dot com,

845
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 2: including he's a bus, He's done. I've seen enough with

846
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 2: my eyes. Two for thirteen with nine points, eight boards,

847
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: three assists in five blocks, got dunked on. But again,

848
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: I've listened to way too. I think we talked about

849
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 2: this last week. When you get into NBA free agency

850
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: and you get into NBA Draft season, I guess maybe

851
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: specifically Kfing, when we get into the NBA off season,

852
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: suddenly I'm listening to every podcast out there that covers

853
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: the NBA. I'm listening to Simmons, I'm listening to Rascillo,

854
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: I'll listen to Zach Lowe, I'll listen to Brian Windhorse.

855
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: And I don't get any of their I'm inside jokes

856
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: because I don't listen to them all year long. I

857
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: got no need for you, well maybe outside of Russillo.

858
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 2: I got no need for y'all during the regular season.

859
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: But I want your information. I want your takes on

860
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: what's going on out there. And Brian Windhorse, there's a

861
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: really good episode and I may even play at the

862
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: clip just to reset. And I've played it for Arnie

863
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: on Sunday Nights, and I've played it here, I think

864
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 2: even and Brian Windhorse ESPN, who has covered when Binyana

865
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 2: a Lot went over to France to watch him play,

866
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: and he said, listen, this guy is still a project

867
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: and he's got all the potential in the world. But

868
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: if you think that he's going to come into this

869
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: league and have thirty and twenty and dominate, then you're

870
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: sadly mistaken. I think Windhorse went even as far as

871
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 2: saying I am pleading with the people at ESPN. I'm

872
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: begging him. It's like, y'all got to chill out, right,

873
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: And but part of the problem. I mean, I'll throw

874
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: us in the mix, and some of our shows and

875
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: obviously the FS one I think people watch and the

876
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 2: ESPN shows for some reason, people watch that are debating

877
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 2: these things.

878
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, kfak. It's literally was non stop leading up

879
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: to the drafts, right.

880
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's a transcendent, once in a generational type

881
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: of player. But what they don't say is once in

882
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 2: a generational type of prospect. They just say he's already

883
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 2: there and you got to stop. I mean again, I

884
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: keep going back to Wendy, but he said he's gonna

885
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 2: get embarrassed. There's gonna be moments when this dude is

886
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: going to get dunked on. And last night, I mean,

887
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: I don't even want to call it out a dunk

888
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 2: to dude like threw it in up.

889
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: Over the top of him.

890
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: So I'm a very patient guy with Wimbin Yama because

891
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: I have paid attention to more than just the hot

892
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 2: take warriors. If you've been out there and all you've

893
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: listened to, and I don't blame you for it because boy,

894
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: some of those.

895
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: NBA podcasts are just painful.

896
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: You get about halfway through and you're like, what are

897
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: we even doing here, guys?

898
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: But in the end.

899
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 2: Telling you to calm him down a little bit. But

900
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: you've heard so much of he is a guy that's

901
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: woe's is guilty of this. I just think that he's

902
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: never gonna be able to meet in year one the

903
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 2: expectations that some people have for him.

904
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: It's just going to be impossible, kfig.

905
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: Because the Spurs aren't winning the title this year and

906
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 2: he's not gonna win the MVP.

907
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, not in year one to your year one. You know,

908
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: it seems like he has a good head between his

909
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 3: you know, brain between his years, you know what I mean.

910
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 3: So I feel like he realizes what the expectations are

911
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 3: and it's up to him. It's incumbent upon him his

912
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 3: inner circle pop all those guys to try to insulate

913
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 3: him from the noise as much as possible and allow

914
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: him to be able to just work and improve. You know,

915
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: we talked about the comparison to Lebron and then what

916
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 3: they've been saying he's the best prospects since Lebron James

917
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 3: and all that Lebron didn't necessarily have to deal not necessarily,

918
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 3: He literally didn't have to deal with the social media

919
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: issues until seven, eight years into his NBA career.

920
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: By that time, you know, so wobin yaw.

921
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: It's kind of been a Twitter online sensation with like

922
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: a cult following for the better part of year or

923
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 3: two before he's even was even drafted. So it's just

924
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 3: an extra level of pressure that's heaped upon his shoulders.

925
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 3: I believe he has the right temperament for it, but

926
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 3: to your point, you know, it just puts places in

927
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: an immense amount of unnecessary pressure on a kid who,

928
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: as evidenced by what we saw in his first game

929
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 3: on Friday night, still has a long ways to go.

930
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's got a long ways to go, but

931
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: as you said, from everything we've been able to take,

932
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 2: seems like he's got a pretty sharp head on his shoulders.

933
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: Here's what he said after the game last night.

934
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 4: Overall, I'm glad we won this game. There's no better

935
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 4: way to start to start for a premiere. And yeah,

936
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 4: you know, I'm honestly I didn't really know what I

937
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 4: was doing on the court tonight, but it's, uh, it's

938
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 4: you know, I'm trying to learn for the mixed games,

939
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 4: and the importance is to be ready for the season.

940
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: I was laughing because the knee jerk can go the

941
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 2: other way too. The reaction like the first five minutes

942
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: on the court for Scoot Henderson. I mean, you have

943
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:06,959
Speaker 2: thought first first, era Michael Jordan walked out on the court,

944
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: you would have thought that we got Lebron James stepping out.

945
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: And I think Scoot Henderson is going to be a

946
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: heck of a basketball player.

947
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: I saw.

948
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: Tayfer is one of my favorite guys to read on

949
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 2: the planet. But Vic Tafer even said Michael Jordan should

950
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 2: be embarrassed, and I'm pretty sure he was alluding to

951
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 2: the fact that they didn't take Scoot Henderson at number two.

952
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: But then you stop and you realize, oh yeah, Michael

953
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: Beasley outshined Derek Rose in their summer league debuts. De'angelo

954
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: Russell was the star of the Lakers summer league when

955
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: they were in Vegas and they won the time.

956
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and yet nothing against any of those players.

957
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 2: They had nice careers, but for some reason with certain

958
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: stars we need Drek and one other quick note on

959
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: this before we before we move on, to I want

960
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: to get to take on some Watani stuff here in

961
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 2: just a bit, as we come to your life from

962
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: the time Iraq dot com Studios you mentioned this is

963
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: this is a Twitter era star, right, so he's got

964
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 2: to he's got to deal with all of it.

965
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: He's got to see all of it.

966
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 2: And while it's to his benefit, I mean, a lot

967
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: of people saw his highlights, and a lot of people

968
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: saw the big time plays he made overseas. We didn't

969
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 2: see full games. I don't think that there were many people.

970
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: Even when a couple of the networks picked up like

971
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: full games of women Yama's team over in France. I

972
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: watched one and about halfway through it, I thought, huh,

973
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: this guy might be really good, but who is he

974
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: playing against. I didn't know any of these dudes. One

975
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 2: of them ended up on his team, being a top

976
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: ten pick by the Wizards. But my point is most people,

977
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 2: I would say a majority of people didn't sit and

978
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 2: watch all those games.

979
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: But what did they see? Kfig? They saw the highlights

980
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter?

981
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 9: Yep.

982
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: They saw the snippets of him throwing a shot into

983
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: the third row or a seven footer crossing over.

984
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: It's smooth it's there, but.

985
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 2: It also set somewhat of an unrealistic expectation.

986
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: Early in his career. Yeah, and that's the unfortunate part.

987
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 3: And look, I know that these networks and talking heads,

988
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 3: which I guess you can throw lump us into that

989
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 3: to a certain degree. I mean absolutely, you know, it's

990
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: kind it's kind of part of a part of the business.

991
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 3: You know, you overhype guys, and what we tend to

992
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 3: do is just as a society in general, it's hope

993
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 3: guys up, so we can tear him down. And it's terrible,

994
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 3: but that's just kind of the nature of how it goes.

995
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 3: Because all everybody wants to say is well, see, I

996
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 3: was the one that said he wasn't right, he wasn't

997
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 3: going to put on enough muscle, he wasn't going to

998
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 3: be good. Woje and all these other pronoxicators thought that

999
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 3: they had it. No, I had it right. I told

1000
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 3: you he wasn't going to be good. For somebody out

1001
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 3: there waiting for that to happen. And that's the unfortunate part.

1002
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 3: And if for some reason he doesn't flourish into the

1003
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 3: player that people expect, you know, it's going to be unfortunate.

1004
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 3: For him, because he's the one that's gonna have to

1005
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: end up wearing it for his entire career. You know,

1006
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 3: you think of the who's the kid that was drafted

1007
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: on UNLV by the Cavaliers first overall. Oh, Anthony Bennett. Yeah,

1008
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 3: and he flamed out in two years? Yeah, like not

1009
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 3: even he might be playing overseas somewhere. I'm not one

1010
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 3: hundred percent sure, but I mean, he was a guy

1011
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 3: most people didn't argue when he was taken first overall.

1012
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: But now he's a punchline, you know. And that's the

1013
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 3: sad part about it. Guys get hyped up so much

1014
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 3: if for whatever reason, even if his circumstances beyond their control.

1015
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: Look at Greg Oden.

1016
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 3: Greg Olden was for all intents and purposes, was going

1017
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 3: to be a great player, probably defensive Player of the

1018
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:19,959
Speaker 3: Year a couple of times over.

1019
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: But the injury, the injury just got him.

1020
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 3: And it certainly didn't help that Kevin Durant turned into

1021
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant. But I mean, no fault of his own,

1022
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 3: but now he's labeled as one of the great busts

1023
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: of all time.

1024
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate.

1025
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: We were going. Oh and by the way, Odin. If

1026
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 2: you go back to how he was in college. Oh

1027
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 2: my god, dude, it was unwit. We did this the

1028
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 2: other day. I forgot about that. I mean, he had

1029
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 2: Mike Connley on his team as a really good team.

1030
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: He was played with a broken hand, like the last

1031
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: twenty games of that season or something. By the way,

1032
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable.

1033
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the top overall picks in

1034
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: the They're the guy draft, right, In other words, there

1035
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: was the Yaoming Draft of vo to the Lebron drafts

1036
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 2: of vote three. In other words, drafts where guys show

1037
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 2: up GMS, whoever's there, and they have the jersey already

1038
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 2: with the name on the back of it. Right, Oh,

1039
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 2: this is we know who's going number one in this draft.

1040
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,240
Speaker 2: It's Anthony Davis or it's Ben Simmons.

1041
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: Right.

1042
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: But I just want to look at a quick little

1043
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: history of those coming up later on in the program,

1044
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 2: but with Kevin figures. I'm Chris Blank and as we

1045
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: come to you from the ti rack dot Com studios,

1046
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 2: there's another story involving I guess a generational star that

1047
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 2: we need to get into here from Major League Baseball,

1048
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know if there's anyone better to do

1049
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 2: it with than Kevin Figures.

1050
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: Kfig the buzz is building. I don't buy it.

1051
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: John Paul Morosi, whom you hear quite a bit here

1052
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio, did his best to try to

1053
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 2: diffuse the conversation, but maybe in a roundabout way, might

1054
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: have elevated it too. Are you thinking the Angels should

1055
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: be moving on from Otani if they're not sure that

1056
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: he's going to resign and getting everything they can for him.

1057
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: Yes, and not.

1058
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 2: This is something I've been saying for Why did not

1059
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: expect that from you?

1060
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: Show your work, Cavin Figures, show your work.

1061
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 3: My work has been and by the way, as an

1062
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 3: Angel fan, I've had an up close and personal front

1063
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: row seat to this. A franchise that has not been

1064
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 3: able to get out of its own way for the

1065
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: better part of a decade now. They have not done

1066
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 3: a good job of cultivating their minor league system up

1067
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 3: until recently. They have a couple of young guys who

1068
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: they just called up, but it's taken them forever. You've

1069
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 3: had Mike Trout and Sho Yotani, arguably two of the

1070
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 3: best players in the history of the sport on the

1071
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 3: same team in their primes and you haven't made the playoffs,

1072
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 3: so clearly, I think what the issue with the Angels

1073
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: is they're extremely top heavy. They have a lot of

1074
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 3: money committed to a lot of guys at the top

1075
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 3: of the roster who are ineffective, can't stay healthy. Regardless,

1076
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 3: you need an influx of talent and a depth of talent,

1077
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 3: and the best way to get that right now is

1078
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 3: to trade away sho Yo Atani, who to your place point,

1079
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 3: Chris is most likely not gonna stay in Anaheim anyway.

1080
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 3: You know what's gonna get butts and seats. But the

1081
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 3: for the Angels is them winning. You know when they

1082
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 3: were there with Mike Soosha and they had that run

1083
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: in the you know, mid the two thousands, two thousand

1084
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 3: to twenty twelve, whatever it was.

1085
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: And they were winning the AFS.

1086
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 3: The excuse the AFC West, I had the Raiders on

1087
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 3: the brain, the AO West, uh, you know every year

1088
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 3: seemingly uh, you know, they were selling out. They were

1089
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 3: in the top five and Major League Baseball and sellouts.

1090
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: They the fans will turn out if the organization will win.

1091
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 3: So that's the big thing for them. People say, we're

1092
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 3: gonna lose a cash col You're not gonna be able

1093
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 3: to You'll sell out.

1094
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: You'll if you win games, that's all that matters.

1095
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 3: And I think the easiest way, the quickest way to

1096
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 3: get them back to victories sell off full time. You

1097
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 3: get as many assets as you possibly can, rebuilt the

1098
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 3: minor leagues, and get the influx of young talent on

1099
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: your major league roster, and that's how you win.

1100
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: You know, I I see our man, Harry James Taylor

1101
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 2: has been checking in on Twitter dot com and he

1102
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 2: knows the guy.

1103
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention, I got a buddy of mine.

1104
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of players that you you know, you're like got

1105
00:52:58,640 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 2: You can't believe we got rid of him?

1106
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: What are we doing? My buddy Teddy Layman?

1107
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 2: One time I went to Teddy played football for the

1108
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Sooners. He's on the Sooner Radio network. He's on

1109
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 2: our affiliate in Norman and in Oklahoma City, and he's

1110
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: he's he's truly one of the best sports minds I've

1111
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 2: ever been around in my life.

1112
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: Dude is great. Kevin.

1113
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: We might have to get him on if I ever

1114
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: filling again, because he's probably up. But I remember, I

1115
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 2: remember the Raiders cut be ready for this Coeo More.

1116
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 2: I do remember that I thought Coeo More hung the moon.

1117
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 2: I thought he was, even though he and Khalil Mack

1118
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: nearly costas one of our only wins in twenty fifteen.

1119
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 2: Whenever they were I think that was was at fifteen

1120
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: or fourteen when they were celebrating the sack and Alex

1121
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 2: Smith that achieves of the line of scrimmage, and they're

1122
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna run a place like what.

1123
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: Are they going go?

1124
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 2: Get up there? But I love Coeo Moore. And I

1125
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: was talking with ted and I was walking with him.

1126
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: I don't worry. I'm gonna bring this back to Otani.

1127
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 2: I know what we're talking about. And I said, Teddy,

1128
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,919
Speaker 2: I'm so mad about coe Omore getting cut. I thought

1129
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: he was a good backer. And literally, without skipping a beat,

1130
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 2: he looked at me and goes, why, I'm like, I

1131
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: think he's good. He's like, were you winning with them?

1132
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 9: No?

1133
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay, He's like, you think you're gonna win a title

1134
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 2: with him? Like I mean maybe, no. Like if you're

1135
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: not winning, if you're not getting it done with a

1136
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 2: guy on the field, don't get too upset when you

1137
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 2: move on from him. And I'm not lying Now that

1138
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 2: wasn't too terribly long ago, because what we're only going

1139
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 2: back like seven seasons. So I spent like forty years

1140
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 2: of my sports fan life lamenting every guy I fell

1141
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: in love with. I'm like, I can't believe they got

1142
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: read of Marquis tuiasa Sopo. You know, why are we

1143
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 2: trying all these guys? And then you stop and you

1144
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 2: realize you're not winning with him. So bring this current

1145
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 2: day to Otani. Do we think he's a generational talent? Absolutely,

1146
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 2: I mean one of but he's also on a team

1147
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 2: that no one can attest better than Kevin figures has

1148
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: chronically and constantly underachieved.

1149
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: They've now lost twelve of sixteen games.

1150
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 2: I think it is, Yes, it is, and it's it

1151
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: doesn't look like even with Otani and Trout and some

1152
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 2: of the they've tried, you know, they made free agent moves,

1153
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: they it just hasn't worked out.

1154
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: Rindon was a big git. It just hasn't worked out

1155
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: so far.

1156
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: So why not if you're not sure he's gonna come back,

1157
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: go get everything you possibly can for him, and you

1158
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 2: might be able to refill the coffers with some talent

1159
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 2: that makes you more of a team than just an individual,

1160
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 2: right that builds up the team as opposed to just

1161
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 2: being like a circus. Or you've got this incredible act.

1162
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 2: We're gonna watch O'tani hit five hundred foot bombs and

1163
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 2: throw no nos. But yet the team is still gonna

1164
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: lose the series. Yeah, because fans don't want that. At

1165
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: least fans of the team don't want that.

1166
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 3: If you can ask any Angel fan, at least most

1167
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 3: Angel fans, I'm sure they'd give you the exact same answer.

1168
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: Would you rather keep Otani and be mediocre or get

1169
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 3: rid of him and give you a better chance of

1170
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 3: making the postseason every year? If you're an actual fan

1171
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 3: of the team, it's a pretty easy answer at that point.

1172
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: And look for the end.

1173
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 3: By the way, Ardi Moreno is one of the cheapest

1174
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 3: owners in all the sports, so he's one of as

1175
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 3: a quote unquote big market team. He's one of the

1176
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 3: owners that actually voted down the extent the expansion of

1177
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 3: the luxury tax. He wanted to keep this to suppress

1178
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: the luxury tax to where it was. So if he's

1179
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 3: going to sign a show he with tiny to a

1180
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 3: six hundred million dollar contract, how is he going to

1181
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 3: be able to distribute money across the rest of the roster.

1182
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 3: With the luxury tax that he doesn't want to pay.

1183
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 3: I think that that has to be taking into account too.

1184
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 2: You're paying one guy, and as an owner, you know

1185
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: you're not going to pay anyone else.

1186
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: Maybe of course not sight here too.

1187
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 2: All right, So I mentioned since we're on this topic,

1188
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: John Paul Morosi, amazing rider, amazing guest here on Fox

1189
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. While he threw some cold water on the

1190
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: plans to trade show. Hey o Tani, he may have,

1191
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 2: in a roundabout way, actually built them up. I'll explain

1192
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 2: next right here on Fox Sports Radio. See this Van

1193
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,959
Speaker 2: Halen song kicks, It kicks. It just takes a moment

1194
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 2: to get there. As we come to you live from

1195
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 2: the tire rack dot Com Studios, Kevin Figures, I'm Chris Plank,

1196
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: the man the myth legend. Anthony Gargano returns next week.

1197
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Mark cracked me up during the break,

1198
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 2: kfig we brought up Skewed Henderson and some of the

1199
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 2: play last night of the other rookies, and I was

1200
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: laughing because Marco's everything I'd heard. I didn't realize there

1201
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: were other games last night felt like it was only

1202
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: the French guy that we were watching, and that's the reaction.

1203
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 2: Nobody's talking about skewed Henderson getting hurt. Nobody's talking about

1204
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: the consistent struggles. It seems like, at least early on

1205
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: in the career of the number two pick in the

1206
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 2: NBA drop though, though I did have to laugh whenever

1207
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 2: someone said Michael Jordan should be embarrassed because Brandon Miller

1208
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 2: over scooed Henderson. Maybe in time that's gonna be the case.

1209
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 2: But bringing it back full circle, obviously Mark knows this

1210
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 2: ethanosis kfig you and I know this. It's gonna be

1211
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 2: all about wimben Yama because it's the first chance I

1212
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 2: think for a lot of people to even see him period.

1213
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: I don't think there's many people that stayed up and

1214
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 2: watched the games live from France. I don't think unless

1215
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 2: you had a chance to be in the lottery. Maybe

1216
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 2: there were some Rocket fans, maybe there were some Trailblazer fans,

1217
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 2: maybe there were some thunder fans that felt like that

1218
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: they should watch because he he could be on their team.

1219
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: But I think that was the first chance for a

1220
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 2: lot of people to see him period. Last night which

1221
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 2: I also think has led to some of that backlash

1222
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 2: that takes place. Oh yeah, and I wasn't aware Kevin

1223
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: figures that Britney Spears still had that kind of fan

1224
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: base that was posting last night the highlight of him

1225
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 2: getting dunked over as if it was the greatest moment

1226
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 2: in Britney Spears' career, which is.

1227
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: Pretty sad, to be honest with you.

1228
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 3: Look, I know that she has our legion of fans,

1229
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 3: and certainly she'd been through a lot over the last

1230
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 3: year or so and cleared up some personal conflict in

1231
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 3: her life, which is great. But how anybody could come

1232
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 3: to her defense after that whole thing played out is

1233
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 3: beyond me. The fact that she said she tapped them,

1234
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 3: and that she got slapped in the face, and she

1235
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 3: was assaulted at the video as she wallas to say,

1236
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 3: the ball don't lie, the video don't.

1237
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: Lie, by the way of all the things.

1238
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 2: And I love our editing group back backstage, if you will,

1239
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 2: behind the scenes crew. I had to laugh because whenever

1240
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 2: I pulled up our sight to look at the sound,

1241
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 2: we didn't have any win been Yama sound. We didn't

1242
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 2: have any highlights, but all we had Britney Spears audio Kevini,

1243
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 2: of course, which cracked me up because I don't think

1244
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: it's worth it to play it. To be honest, you

1245
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: can't really hear any thing. And that's no offense to

1246
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 2: the guys and the gals behind the scenes. It's just

1247
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: it's hard to hear it. You need the video with

1248
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: it for it to make sense. But it has to

1249
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 2: be the funniest story that's dominated the forty eight hour

1250
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: news cycle. Like I mean, she pressed charges and in

1251
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 2: the video she slapped herself in the face again, not

1252
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: on purpose, but just in the way the guy kind

1253
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 2: of put his hands out it knocked her hand back

1254
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 2: into her own face.

1255
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he almost like swatted a fly.

1256
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 3: He just wadded her hand off of a wimby's shoulder

1257
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 3: and she hit herself in the face.

1258
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: That's all it was.

1259
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: And now Britney Spears fans are like, oh, we've cursed you.

1260
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: When Ben yamasi as we come to your life from

1261
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 2: the Tirack dot com studios. Quickly before Kfigg's update, we

1262
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 2: had brought up the possibility of now the Angels, after

1263
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 2: losing to the Doyers last night, have lost twelve of

1264
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 2: sixteen could show hey, Otani be on the move now.

1265
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 2: John Palmerros, in his most recent piece for MLB dot

1266
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 2: Com writes few in the baseball industry see the Angels

1267
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 2: scimptitius fall as an indication they will deal Otani.

1268
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Prior to the August first trade deadline.

1269
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 2: He continued, in a vacuum, superstar players on expiring contracts

1270
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: are traded for the highest return, But the Angels don't

1271
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 2: operate in a vacuum. They play on planet Earth, where

1272
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 2: Otani is one of the most unique athletes ever, which

1273
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: again to that k Fig is someone who watches a

1274
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 2: lot of Angels games, just doesn't read a box score

1275
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 2: and has a hot take.

1276
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, that's right.

1277
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 2: He's one of the most entertaining and unique players that

1278
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: we've seen.

1279
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely regardless of sport.

1280
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 3: He is the most spectacular baseball player that I have seen,

1281
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: considering what he does on both sides, of both sides,

1282
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: not ching and hitting.

1283
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 2: Yes, but Dennen trying to maybe calm down those rumors.

1284
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 2: John Paul Morosi does couch it with this. The possibility

1285
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 2: of acquiring a collection of young talent is tantalizing. The

1286
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: Angels currently have two prospects, two in the top one hundred,

1287
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: and then he added the club's baseball operation staff will

1288
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 2: communicate with other teams to workshop trade scenarios if the

1289
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Angels slide continues. That is the job of a front office,

1290
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 2: but presenting an acceptable deal to ownership and receiving approval

1291
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: for it is another matter entirely.

1292
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: So in other words, yeah, they're probably not going to

1293
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: move them, yeah, exactly.

1294
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 2: And it doesn't mean they're not going to talk to

1295
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 2: teams to see what kind of package out there might

1296
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 2: be available.

1297
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I read into.

1298
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: It still means he's likely going to finish the season,

1299
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: or we think he's going to finish the season with

1300
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 2: the Angels. But you also step back, you're like, you know,

1301
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 2: they might be calling to see what that could look

1302
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 2: like as far as the deal they might get.

1303
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they wouldn't be doing right by themselves if they

1304
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 3: didn't at least gauge what the market looks like, you

1305
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 3: know at this point, especially if you're not gonna end

1306
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 3: up making the postseason. That's the part that doesn't make

1307
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 3: a lot of sense to me.

1308
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Chris.

1309
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 3: If you get to July twentieth and you're eight games

1310
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 3: out of first place, and seven games out of the wildcard. Yeah,

1311
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 3: you're still relatively alive. But with the injuries you've been

1312
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 3: dealing with, do you have a realistic expectation that you're

1313
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 3: going to be a playoff team at that point? If not,

1314
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 3: why wouldn't you sell them off and get more assets

1315
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 3: knowing that he's going to walk away in the offseason anyway?

1316
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense.

1317
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 2: All Right, We're thirty minutes away for some college football

1318
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 2: talk here on the Fellas on Fox Sports Saturday. But

1319
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: when we come back to the tire rack dot com studios,

1320
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 2: the countdown is on to the start of the NFL season.

1321
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Do we still have drama in Buffalo? I asked one

1322
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 2: of the Bills, what's going on? We'll dive into it next,

1323
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 2: but first, Kevin Figures got everything from last night in

1324
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 2: the world of sports.

1325
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: What's going on? K fig going on in New York?

1326
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 10: There?

1327
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: Chris? How about the Mets?

1328
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 3: For four runs in the top of the tenth inning

1329
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 3: they beat the Padres seven to five on Friday Night,

1330
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 3: six straight wins for New York Dodgers, hitting five home runs,

1331
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 3: two of them coming from Mookie Bets, and in eleven

1332
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 3: to four victory over the Angels. Zach Gallin struck out

1333
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 3: five and seven innings of work for Arizona.

1334
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: They beat Pittsburgh seven to three.

1335
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 3: Giants have lost five of their last six, as the

1336
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 3: Rockies beat them in San Francisco five to two. It

1337
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 3: was a Mariners ten in the Astros one Brewers just

1338
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 3: a game behind the Reds in the NL Central after

1339
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 3: a seven to three victory over Cincinnati. You had a

1340
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 3: Cub shutout over the Yankees, three nothing, Blue Jays, Orioles

1341
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 3: and Red Sox with wins as well. Of course, talking

1342
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 3: about the NBA Summer League Spurs four of victor Winbanyama

1343
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 3: nine points, two of thirteen shooting in a victory over

1344
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 3: the Hornets. Charlotte rookie Brandon Miller scored fifteen points and

1345
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 3: grabbed eleven rebounds, but he was just five of fifteen

1346
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 3: shooting as well. Elsewhere, Scoot Henderson fifteen points for Portland.

1347
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 3: A Man Thompson scored sixteen with four block shots for Houston.

1348
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 3: The Rockets did win that game one hundred to ninety

1349
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 3: nine on a Jabari Smith buzzer beating three pointer back

1350
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 3: to Chris plaint Not just.

1351
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures a buzzer beating three pointer. But my man

1352
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 2: put it in from what just to step inside of

1353
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 2: half court? Absolutely leaning forward wasn't fully balanced. Pretty impressive, are.

1354
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: You about it?

1355
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 2: I hate to talk about things that are on TV

1356
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 2: during the radio show with Kfik in the new configuration.

1357
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Do you have ESPN up by chance? Right now? Sports Center?

1358
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: It is two feet in front of me. Okay?

1359
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 2: Did Can somebody get Austin Rivers a better T shirt

1360
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 2: or at least a better shirt, saw.

1361
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: A blazer over it'd be somewhat, you know. I mean,

1362
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something.

1363
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 2: I've been so impressed with Austin Rivers in some of

1364
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 2: the ways he's been used in the media.

1365
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: He's really good, Like he's he's got a chance to be.

1366
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 2: A talking head on ESPN for years to come. I

1367
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: think he's got a chance to be a game analyst.

1368
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 2: But holy shirt, Holy, oh gosh, holy shirt fits right.

1369
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 2: He's got a T shirt on that absolutely looks like

1370
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 2: he pulled it out of his dirty clothes, and he's

1371
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 2: throwing a white T shirt to do a lot. I mean,

1372
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: come on, ESPN, get him a blazer, get him something.

1373

Speaker 2: credit cards automatically double all the cash back you've earned.

1387
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 2: That's right, everything you've earned double. Seriously, see terms and

1388
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 2: check it out for yourself at discover dot com. Slash Match.

1389
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 2: All right, there has been so much talk about what's

1390
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 2: going on with Stefande, Biggs, Josh Allen, Sean McDermott and

1391
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: all that, and honestly, kink if we get back to

1392
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 2: the root of it, just to give you a little perspective,

1393
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 2: this is all kind of Sean McDermott's fault, right because

1394
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 2: he comes out during OTAs and we're going back what

1395
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 2: about a month now, and he was asked hey, are

1396
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 2: you Are you worried about Stefan Diggs not being here?

1397
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: And Sean McDermott said, yeah, yeah, I'm worried about it. Well,

1398
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 2: then he doubles back a couple of days. Actually, I

1399
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 2: don't think it was a couple of days later. It

1400
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 2: was literally the next day, right, he came back. He's like, now, listen, listen,

1401
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 2: I'm not everything that happened was understood. This isn't an

1402
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 2: issue where there's anything going on here.

1403
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: This is not a problem.

1404
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we didn't necessarily take that as a good enough

1405
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 2: answer because we went back and we saw the way

1406
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 2: that Stefan Diggs season ended with him yelling at Josh

1407
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:00,439
Speaker 2: Allen on the side lies.

1408
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen went and made the rounds.

1409
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 2: I think this was on part of my take where

1410
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 2: he talked about the Stefon Diggs drama and how this

1411
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 2: is all our fault.

1412
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Kevin figures our fault.

1413
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 10: I love him, that's my guy. The media has blondness

1414
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 10: so far out of proportion. Right, Like we are in

1415
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 10: rookie or mini camp. We're not playing a game for

1416
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 10: four months. He doesn't show up one day, He's still there,

1417
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 10: you know. Coach asked him to go home. We were

1418
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 10: in talks and discussions of trying to trying to resolve

1419
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 10: some things and it wasn't anything major and media blew

1420
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 10: it up and they're still talking about it. She's like,

1421
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 10: let it go, let it go. There's no reason to

1422
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 10: continue talking about it. He was on the field with

1423
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 10: us the next day. It was not a big deal.

1424
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 2: So I can kind of like, going back to John

1425
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: Paul Morosi's article, Kevin either they're not gonna move him,

1426
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 2: but they're gonna call around and talk to people.

1427
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Right.

1428
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,799
Speaker 2: I felt like with what Josh Allen said, He's like, oh, okay,

1429
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 2: there's nothing going on, but whatever issues we had, we

1430
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 2: were working and You're.

1431
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Like, what does that mean?

1432
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 2: So yesterday I had a chance to talk to Dion Dawkins,

1433
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 2: and my buddy Willie Cologne asked Dion, what's going on here?

1434
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 2: What do you see Dean Dawkins starting left tackle for

1435
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. Here's what he said about the Josh

1436
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Allen Stefan Diggs.

1437
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: Saga, if you will, and what.

1438
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 2: It's been like watching it as a member of the

1439
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 2: old line in the locker room, because again, this is

1440
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 2: a guy that's living it every single day, wait for it,

1441
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 2: wait for it, and three two one it has going on.

1442
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 11: I'm pretty sure that the media does whatever they do

1443
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 11: because at practice, the balls are still being thrown and

1444
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 11: the balls are still being caught. So who really cares.

1445
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 11: The media is going to pick up and twist and

1446
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 11: put in the fire whatever and they want because of greatness.

1447
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 11: You know, whatever greatness shows or whatever greatness peaks, or

1448
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,719
Speaker 11: whenever good things are happening, there's always that little devil

1449
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 11: in the corner that is just gonna try to mix

1450
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 11: up with spell or do whatever, and they do to

1451
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 11: make things seem toxic. But you know, Diggs and Josh

1452
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 11: their brothers, they're my brothers. They're all of our brothers.

1453
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 9: Literally.

1454
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 11: Whatever they have and going on, it's super super minute.

1455
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 11: Which is incredibly funny that the world with some turns things.

1456
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 11: But it's crazy because I really can't even comment on it.

1457
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 11: I really can't even comment because like we don't know,

1458
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,799
Speaker 11: Like I don't know, but they're catching balls, they're laughing,

1459
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,799
Speaker 11: they're doing what they do, so who cares?

1460
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,719
Speaker 2: I like the idea. Dion Dawkins was incredible. I gotta

1461
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 2: tell you something. I talked to him ten minutes yesterday.

1462
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 2: The guys are rock star.

1463
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 9: We don't.

1464
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: We don't talk to offensive linemen enough. We really don't.

1465
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: They're the best.

1466
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: We don't talk to him enough. Guys get him more

1467
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 2: airtime more. Jeff Schwartz is but he's right to a

1468
01:10:56,200 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 2: certain extent. But then again, I feel like Sean mcderry

1469
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 2: needs to read the room a little bit better. I

1470
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: feel like all of this goes back to his original take,

1471
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 2: which was, hey, you know, I'm concerned, and then he

1472
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 2: goes and he grinds and he does this thing and

1473
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 2: he doesn't care about it. He's getting he's watching practice tape,

1474
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: he's going through practice plans, and then he steps out

1475
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 2: and he's like, oh, we got a meeting storm going

1476
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 2: on here? What's going on with Stefan Diggs. I'm sure

1477
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 2: that there were pr people with the bills that were like,

1478
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 2: hey see, we might want to clarify this. I don't

1479
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 2: think McDermott's moron. I don't think he's an idiot. I

1480
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 2: don't think he meant anything to try to stir up

1481
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 2: the pot. I don't think he was sending a shot

1482
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 2: at Stefan Diggs by any stretch of the imagination. I

1483
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 2: just think he was kind of having an honest moment

1484
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 2: where he's like, yeah, you know, I'm concerned about it,

1485
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,639
Speaker 2: But in that same vein, you're kind.

1486
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: Of the reason why the media blew this out of proportion.

1487
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Then you can't help but have a story like this

1488
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 2: with a content that had their season in the way

1489
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: that it did. I mean, I gotta tell you something.

1490
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 2: I got to tell you something. It is a downtime

1491
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 2: in sports for just basically content content, And when you

1492
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 2: have an ota going on and you had a team

1493
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 2: that had things in the way it did last year

1494
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,520
Speaker 2: that got beat the way they did two years ago.

1495
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:29,719
Speaker 1: Okay, Thak you know this, bro, we are.

1496
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 2: Looking for anything, any nugget we can get to help

1497
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: a fuel a four hour show and b make it

1498
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 2: make sense why Buffalo was so uncompetitive on their home

1499
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 2: field in conditions like they had, how they were unable

1500
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 2: to finish a game with sixteen seconds left two years ago.

1501
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 2: I mean, these are the types of things that, at

1502
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 2: least for me, I'm still trying to learn about. So again,

1503
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 2: I love Josh Allen's take, I love Dion Dawkin's take,

1504
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 2: but they also left you a little nugget where it's Hey,

1505
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: you know Josh out whatever it was, you know he

1506
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 2: wanted to go home for a little bit, Deon Dawkins,

1507
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 2: whatever it was. It's super minute, is it, Kate fig

1508
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 2: or is it something that we need to be digging

1509
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 2: a little bit deeper on.

1510
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something that's at least a discussion point, like

1511
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 3: if I can defend the media at least a little bit.

1512
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 3: This is the same Stefan Diggs that forces his way

1513
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 3: out of Minnesota because he wasn't happy, comes to Buffalo,

1514
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 3: has a couple of I won't say blow ups, I

1515
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 3: think that'd be exaggerating, but certainly had his issues on

1516
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 3: the sideline at times. Then all of a sudden during

1517
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 3: the offseason, we hear about this whatever this issue is

1518
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 3: behind the scenes that forces him to leave OTAs. We're

1519
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 3: not making this stuff up, like all of this happened,

1520
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 3: so we're not trying to drama. Now, Maybe are we

1521
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 3: intimately involved in all these situations? Is it just quote

1522
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 3: unquote family issues and drama. Possibly, but from the outside,

1523
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,719
Speaker 3: And then when you get conflicting messages from the principal

1524
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 3: figures the most the biggest principal figure being the head

1525
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 3: coach and the quarterback. What are we supposed to think?

1526
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 3: So I feel like it's a little bit unfair to

1527
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 3: say like we're blowing this side of proportions when all

1528
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 3: these things are laid out in front of us. How

1529
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 3: are we supposed to react when we have the evidence

1530
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 3: out in front of us this way?

1531
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 2: Hey, so there's the latest on the bills. But is

1532
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 2: there another NFL drama storyline playing out involving a potentially

1533
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 2: disgruntled receiver? Will speculate and predict next Fox Sports Radio.

1534
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 2: I have a wild prediction for you, Kevin Figures, and

1535
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 2: this might surprise you, as evidenced by my negativity towards

1536
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 2: the Vegas Raiders.

1537
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: As we welcome you.

1538
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Back to the tyrack dot com studios, Anthony Gargano is out.

1539
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 2: They're calling for more Ethanmiler on Twitter dot com. Ethan,

1540
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: So I need you to fire in some hot takes. Okay,

1541
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 2: let's go. Mark's running the show, but I have been.

1542
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 2: You can ask my partner on Sunday nights, Arnie Spanier.

1543
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 2: You can ask anyone that I've done and been blessed

1544
01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 2: to do any radio on any format. Inevitably, at some point,

1545
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures, it gets back to my disdain, my frustration,

1546
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 2: my anger, my hurt with what the Raiders have done

1547
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 2: with this roster. But you ready for a shocking prediction.

1548
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: Yes I am.

1549
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,799
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be a good defensive football team. Really,

1550
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 2: I know right now what brings you to say that?

1551
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 3: Because I can't those players in the second I mean

1552
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 3: I can, but you know what I mean.

1553
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 2: Right Here's why. Two things before I get to the

1554
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 2: gut punch. Yes, I got to bring it back to

1555
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 2: anger because there is that, you know, Frank, the tank

1556
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 2: side of me, how he is with the Mets.

1557
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: I am with the Raiders right now. I think Tyree.

1558
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 2: Wilson and Max Crosby, with what seems to be are

1559
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 2: we juvenated Chandler Jones, I think they're going to be

1560
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 2: really good rushing the passer. I also think the Raiders

1561
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,919
Speaker 2: have done a nice job in bringing in interior defensive

1562
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 2: line talent. And I'm really high on the Vine Diablo

1563
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 2: backer that I think is going to be their Green

1564
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: Dot this year. Yes, I like the safety they got

1565
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 2: from Georgia. I like that was EP's the kid they

1566
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 2: brought in from Philadelphia. Yes, I like some of the

1567
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 2: defensive moves they've made and I'm a big Patrick Graham guy.

1568
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 2: I know that you know you have one terrible season defensively,

1569
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,480
Speaker 2: and I do mean terrible.

1570
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: Suddenly that star starts to damn with it.

1571
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 2: Let's remember it was between Patrick Graham and Kevin O'Connell

1572
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 2: to get the Vikings job, and they chose O'Connell. Graham

1573
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 2: was a finalist and nearly got that job. Some say

1574
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 2: he was offered. So I think the Raiders are going

1575
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 2: to be a better dare I even say good defensive

1576
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 2: football team. So here's the other side. We're talking about

1577
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 2: wide receivers. We're talking about Stefan Diggs and the issue

1578
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 2: in Buffalo. Could we see a situation where if the

1579
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo foot issues don't really materialize, A O'Connell looks

1580
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,720
Speaker 2: like the A O'Connell at Purdue and Brian Hoyer is

1581
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 2: Brian Hoyer and they don't do anything at quarterback KFI.

1582
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Could we be seeing Davante Adams as one of the

1583
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 2: dudes that ends up asking out sooner rather than later,

1584
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 2: not something he's ever done, even though he can go

1585
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 2: back to the Green Bay thing. And he wanted to

1586
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 2: play with Derek Carr and they facilitated that they.

1587
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: Gave up the first second round pick.

1588
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 2: It was tough, but could you see DeVante Adams being

1589
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 2: a guy that inevitably asks out and the Raiders wanting

1590
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 2: to build for the future? Granting that wish, I absolutely

1591
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 2: could see that happening. Now.

1592
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 3: The problem is, I don't know if it happens this season.

1593
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 3: He can ask for a trade, but I don't know

1594
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 3: if they do it because it will put them in

1595
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 3: a bad salary cap situation. But from what I understand,

1596
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 3: the way that his contract is structured, after this season ends,

1597
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 3: it's not going to cost him too much of a

1598
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 3: salary cap if they were to cut or trade him.

1599
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 3: So I do think they're going to kind of play

1600
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 3: this season out regardless off I it goes, and if

1601
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 3: you request the trade and if he really gets really

1602
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 3: until then maybe they'll let them loose. But from what

1603
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 3: I understand, the way that his contract is structured, it

1604
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 3: might be a mutual parting of ways after this season

1605
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 3: is over.

1606
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Gosh, that would just be that would be gut wrenching.

1607
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 2: The excitement level I had whenever he signed a year

1608
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 2: ago might be up there with birth of my children,

1609
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:22,600
Speaker 2: both marriages.

1610
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean at least for the one night back in

1611
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: two thousand.

1612
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 2: But I just I'm looking at this and thinking they're

1613
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 2: not going anywhere correct, and that pains me. And I

1614
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 2: know there's a lot of Raider fans to get mad

1615
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 2: at me, they want to fight me.

1616
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: But we gotta be real, man, just be honest. We

1617
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: gotta be real about this.

1618
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 2: There's people that are so happy that Derek Carr is

1619
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 2: gone that they're completely ignoring that you don't really have

1620
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 2: a quarterback now. Jimmy g just doesn't play enough, he

1621
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 2: can't stay healthy and breaking news. The Raiders don't have

1622
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 2: the talent that San Francisco had. That's just the reality

1623
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 2: of it. Not yet, they'll get there. I think Ziegler

1624
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 2: is a good GM. McKay fig high on the Raiders defense,

1625
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 2: really down and concerned about the future and that DeVante.

1626
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Adams could ask out, and also concerned about what's going

1627
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 3: to happen with Josh Jacobs, if and when he'll report

1628
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 3: to the team this year too, because he was obviously

1629
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 3: the biggest part, the most successful aspect of their offense

1630
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 3: last year.

1631
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something topics I'm already tired of

1632
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Running back value Yeah, holy smokes. Yes

1633
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 2: they're underpaid, Yes they're undervalued. How many more ways can

1634
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 2: we say it? There's not a single position outside of

1635
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 2: maybe kicker or punter that has a lower number on

1636
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 2: the franchise tag than running back.

1637
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 3: But nothing's going to change now, So why are we

1638
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 3: going to see her keep complaining about it?

1639
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: When we come back?

1640
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 2: We promised College Football Talk Kevin Figures had a homework

1641
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 2: assignment during the show. So did you well dive into

1642
01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 2: teams that were keeping an eye on teams that we

1643
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 2: and can disappoint, teams that we think could make a

1644
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 2: run in college football?

1645
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Y'all, we are only forty nine.

1664
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 2: But as I say loo to the crew, Ethan Mark

1665
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 2: and of course Kevin figures, I did not realize. Kevin,

1666
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: we are moments away from an annual event that I

1667
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 2: was not aware of. Were you aware that at seven

1668
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 2: fifteen am Eastern Time on July the eighth, which last

1669
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 2: I checked today is today?

1670
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Is July the eighth?

1671
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 5: Right?

1672
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 4: World?

1673
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:43,879
Speaker 1: That is correct? Yes, okay? That ninety nine.

1674
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 2: Percent of the world's population will experience daylight or twilight simultaneously.

1675
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 2: In other words, only one percent of the world's population

1676
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,720
Speaker 2: would be located where it was night time, which is

1677
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 2: wild to me because I look outside it's very dark here,

1678
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 2: so don't I don't really know how that works. I'm

1679
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 2: not as the kids would say smart. But according to

1680
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 2: this claim that started on Reddit and then something called

1681
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 2: EarthSky dot org crunch, the numbers at eleven fifteen Universal time,

1682
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 2: so now we're adding another time zone seven to fifteen

1683
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 2: am Eastern Time on July eighth.

1684
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: Each year.

1685
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 2: They claim ninety six percent of Earth's population is bathed

1686
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:42,720
Speaker 2: in at least a bit of sunlight, and an additional

1687
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 2: three is in astronomical twilight, which occurs when the sun

1688
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 2: is below the horizon but it's glows still illuminates a

1689
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 2: patch of the sky.

1690
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 3: Interesting. I feel the same way. Interesting, you know lesson

1691
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 3: until I know why. Unless I hear Newtograss Tyson say

1692
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 3: something about it, I'm going to.

1693
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: Say that it's not true. Do you know what?

1694
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 2: We need to tag Neil de Grass Tyson on this

1695
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 2: and see if it's legit. Apparently this occurs because most

1696
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 2: of the Earth's population lives on one side of the planet,

1697
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 2: not according to my globe. It might not look like

1698
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 2: it on most maps, but that's because the majority of

1699
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 2: classroom maps are distorted to the population are to be

1700
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 2: population population centric. So hey, interesting, I did not know that.

1701
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 2: I didn't either. The things you see, what you miss

1702
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 2: when you jump to threads. I guess I found this

1703
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 2: on Twitter. Look at you I have who figure this out?

1704
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 2: Is what I want to know. These are the stats

1705
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 2: that will get sometimes right. O Tani is hitting four

1706
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 2: eighty six on Sundays when it's a day game and

1707
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 2: the temperature is eighty or below.

1708
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: Like, who has the time to figure that out?

1709
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 2: Who in the world old has the time to basically

1710
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,600
Speaker 2: figure out the percentage of sunlight or the amount of

1711
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 2: the planet that is currently under sunlight or around sunlight,

1712
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:10,799
Speaker 2: or in some way shape or form in sunlight.

1713
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: No clue tell thee what? So much time on the hands?

1714
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 2: It sounds like to me and really smart, I mean

1715
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 2: extremely the number crunching. The world needs nerds to people,

1716
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 2: we need nerds. So allow us here from the tire

1717
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 2: rack dot Com Studios to nerd out a little bit

1718
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 2: on college football. Yes, we have more reaction and hot

1719
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 2: takes on the debut of Victor wimban Yama last night.

1720
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 2: Oh by the way, by the way, some of you

1721
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 2: guys are reacting, that's the only game he'll ever play

1722
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 2: in the history of professional basketball, and he should be

1723
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 2: cut from the Spurs and never allowed on a court again,

1724
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 2: or you can chill out and watch him play Sunday.

1725
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: Or here's a wild take.

1726
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 2: You know, maybe wait and really draw some conclusions until

1727
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,839
Speaker 2: I don't know, kfig the actual NBA season.

1728
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: What how would you do that?

1729
01:24:59,560 --> 01:24:59,640
Speaker 6: What?

1730
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 3: Why would you wait to see someone actually play during

1731
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 3: the year and then make your assessment based off of

1732
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 3: that how well they'll play?

1733
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: No good of a career the half?

1734
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 2: It makes too much sense. Now, I know everyone went, well,

1735
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 2: how do you look?

1736
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: How do you look like? He was a nineteen year.

1737
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 2: Old kid who had just tried to walk in the

1738
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 2: NBA for the first time, looked like a baby draff

1739
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 2: in it. And he even admitted himself. So we'll get

1740
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: to more of that coming up here in just a bit. Obviously,

1741
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 2: big night in baseball. Mets have now won six straight games,

1742
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 2: so break up the Mets. Dodgers stay within a half

1743
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: game of first place. They beat the Angels last night,

1744
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 2: while the Diamondbacks also won. So we'll get you caught

1745
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 2: up on all the scores coming up here on Fox

1746
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. But we are a mirror forty nine days

1747
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 2: away from the start of the college football season, and

1748
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,759
Speaker 2: I saw this from our buddy Peter Burns on Twitter

1749
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 2: dot com and he had asked this question on his

1750
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 2: show over on Series XIM and as he was poring out,

1751
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 2: he hadded at fifty.

1752
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: So that was yesterday. Now we're at forty nine closer.

1753
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 2: Five questions, Biggest storylined, most overblown storyline, most underrated team,

1754
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 2: team with the most pressure, and biggest surprise. So it's

1755
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 2: tough because when when I'm challenged with biggest storyline, immediately

1756
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 2: like twenty.

1757
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 1: Coming to my head.

1758
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 2: But for you, Kevin, figures number one, number one, what'd

1759
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 2: you have as your biggest storyline?

1760
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 3: Biggest storyline for me is Deon Sanders going to Colorado.

1761
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 2: Ooh, inst to That's on my list too.

1762
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 3: Yes, so I don't know how it's going to play out,

1763
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 3: but I know definitely it's one of the bigger stories

1764
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 3: in college football, and I'm intrigued by it, to say

1765
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 3: the least.

1766
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: I think I went with a little low hanging fruit.

1767
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 2: Here, okay, which is fine. I went with the Georgia

1768
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 2: three p. We haven't seen this kind of dominance well

1769
01:26:56,479 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 2: and again Alabama, Clemson, Ohio day. You know, for a while,

1770
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 2: Oklahoma were consistent contenders in the four team playoffs. Now

1771
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 2: do I think Oklahoma's going to get back. Absolutely. Do

1772
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia are going to

1773
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 2: be able to overcome having new quarterbacks. Absolutely, But you

1774
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 2: know some might say, oh, what do you mean, it's

1775
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 2: always the same team. As well as far as winning

1776
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 2: three straight national championships in college football, that's something we

1777
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 2: don't see right period. I mean, I know that my

1778
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 2: beloved Oklahoma Sooners did it in softball, but in college football,

1779
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 2: you know, Minnesota is the last team to three peat

1780
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 2: and that came in nineteen thirty four, nineteen thirty five,

1781
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 2: and nineteen thirty six. So you can sit there and

1782
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 2: complain that there's not enough balance in college football, that

1783
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 2: it's not there's not enough parody, but we're watching a

1784
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 2: team try to do something that hasn't been done and

1785
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 2: what we're looking at one hundred years now, almost one

1786
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:08,560
Speaker 2: hundred years. So to me, that's that's my biggest storyline.

1787
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to go first on the most overblown

1788
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 2: storyline because I got dionnistline. But again, in that I

1789
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 2: think Kevin figures it does tie in to one of

1790
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 2: the biggest storylines in college football because you're not only

1791
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 2: seeing a lot there's a lot of different things that

1792
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 2: are coming together here. It's not necessarily a unique approach

1793
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 2: to rebuild through the portal, but to the degree that

1794
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders has done it, the lack of I don't

1795
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 2: common courtesy if well with how he's handled some of

1796
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:44,640
Speaker 2: his team meetings and now we've all seen it, I

1797
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 2: mean that that factors in. I think to part of

1798
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 2: this ill by the way, it's a team in Colorado,

1799
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 2: a program that has completely fallen off the map, but

1800
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 2: yet in that same vein seems to be very much

1801
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 2: the target of say a big TWI if they want

1802
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 2: to expand. So I think it's a big year all

1803
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,440
Speaker 2: the way around for Dion, But it's also been incessantly

1804
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 2: talked about. It's a credit to him for keeping his

1805
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 2: name in the media. And honestly, I don't think they're

1806
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 2: going to.

1807
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 1: Be very good. I just don't. I don't know either

1808
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: right the way.

1809
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 2: So that to me is my most overblown storyline of

1810
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:21,759
Speaker 2: the season.

1811
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: What about you?

1812
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 3: So my most overblown and I've seen this trickling out

1813
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 3: a little bit over the last few months is Alabama

1814
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 3: having to replace both of their coordinators who left.

1815
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: Oh I like it because They've never had to do

1816
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: this before.

1817
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 3: Nick Saban has never lost coordinators before after a year

1818
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 3: or two and having to retool. If anything, if I

1819
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 3: had a concern for Alabama, which I don't, it'll be

1820
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 3: more about players on the rosters, namely like someone like

1821
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:47,600
Speaker 3: Jalen Milroe or Buchan or whoever the starting quarterback is

1822
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 3: going to be. But the coordinator situation, I'm not the

1823
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 3: least bit concerned by it. To be honest with you,

1824
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 3: Nick Saban is one of the greatest coaches in the

1825
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 3: history of sports, college or pro. I'll think that for

1826
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 3: the coaching staff will be totally fine Alabama, That's not

1827
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,679
Speaker 3: going to be the reason if they do struggle why

1828
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 3: they struggle.

1829
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 2: This is, at least by my count, for the fifth

1830
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 2: time since Nick Saban has been at Alabama that he's

1831
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 2: had to change his defensive coordinator, and every single time.

1832
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 1: Outside of Pete Golding.

1833
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:27,759
Speaker 2: Now, let's Bama fans, I know how you feel about

1834
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 2: Pete Golding.

1835
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: I understand and I know you hear it. I get it.

1836
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: I know where the frustration is.

1837
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 2: But for the most part, guys have left as a

1838
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator to move on to head coaching gigs. Now

1839
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:47,879
Speaker 2: Kevin Steele, who was the first one, moved to another

1840
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 2: role within the Alabama football program. I think it was

1841
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 2: like defensive head coach is what Nick Saban called it.

1842
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 2: But that's kind of a unique one and what Kevin

1843
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 2: Steele did. But here are the defensive coordinators that he's had,

1844
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart who was at Georgia, Jeremy Brewitt who went

1845
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 2: on kind of struggled at Tennessee, Tom Loopa who only

1846
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 2: lasted a year, and then Pete Golden, who by the way,

1847
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 2: had been their defensive coordinator for four seas correct, he

1848
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 2: had been there for four year, four years offensive coordinator wise,

1849
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 2: you know, they moved on from major Apple White after

1850
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 2: year one because apple White got a head coaches Gig

1851
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,719
Speaker 2: Jim mcelwayne moved on to a head coaches Gig Doug Nussmeyer.

1852
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:26,000
Speaker 2: All right, he just moved on. Lane Kiffin moved on

1853
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 2: to a head coaches gig. Brian Dable resurrected his career

1854
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen and was back in the NFL. Mike

1855
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 2: Loxley in twenty eighteen moved on to Maryland. Steve Sarkshan

1856
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 2: moved on to Texas, and Bill O'Brien wanted to get

1857
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 2: back to the league and he moved on to New England.

1858
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 2: So it's it's old hat, right, It's something that Alabama

1859
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 2: has done consistently.

1860
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:45,679
Speaker 1: Correct.

1861
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 3: I love that it's often that people still continue to

1862
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 3: stress over for whatever reason.

1863
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:52,519
Speaker 2: All Right, we are talking some college football storyline. So

1864
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 2: with that in mind, k fig, you start here number

1865
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 2: three most underrated.

1866
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: Team at the end of this year.

1867
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 3: And I know when the preseason polls are kindind of

1868
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 3: floating around the top ten, top fifteen, but I really

1869
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 3: love Penn State and I think Penn State's a team

1870
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 3: that can poss should be even higher in the top seven.

1871
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 3: You know, Drew Laarer is supposed to be a phenomenal

1872
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 3: quarterback prospect. They're returning most of their players on the

1873
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,280
Speaker 3: offensive line. I think four of their five offensive line

1874
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:19,120
Speaker 3: starters are coming back, and they're good defensively. Now, the

1875
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 3: coaching situation is an issue. I love them as a recruiters,

1876
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 3: as a head coach and end game coach. I have

1877
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 3: my my issues with Franklin, But as a team, I

1878
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 3: just think that Penn States the team that you keep

1879
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 3: your eye you should keep your eye on this year.

1880
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,439
Speaker 2: Do you know what's funny is I'm staying in the

1881
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:38,639
Speaker 2: Big ten with mine. Okay, I think Wisconsin all right? Now,

1882
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 2: I want to be very clear. First year coaches are

1883
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 2: either one way or another. Kirby Smart in his first

1884
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 2: year struggle. Nick Saban in his first year lost to

1885
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 2: Louisiana Monroe. For goodness sakes, right, the first year coaches

1886
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 2: can have a challenge. We saw it the mixed bag

1887
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 2: this year. You saw Brent Vinables struggle Brian Kelly, even

1888
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 2: though they played in the SEC championship game. I would

1889
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 2: say LSU fans were pleasantly surprised to be there, but

1890
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 2: it wasn't necessarily smooth all year long for LSU.

1891
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 1: And then you've.

1892
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 2: Seen guys like Sonny Dykes who went to TCU and

1893
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:21,720
Speaker 2: had to play for national championship and Lincoln Riley who

1894
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: had USC knocking on the door of a four team

1895
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 2: playoff berth until that dreaded thing called defense jumped up

1896
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 2: and bit Lincoln Riley again.

1897
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 9: So I.

1898
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Just think Luke Fickle is going to be a guy.

1899
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna what's the word I'm looking for here craft

1900
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 2: what he believes to make it fit with what he has.

1901
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 2: And I think They've done a really good job, a

1902
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:54,080
Speaker 2: really good job with the transfer portal. If things don't

1903
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 2: work out with Tanner Mordecai, They've got two other quarterbacks

1904
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 2: that have come in. They've got a dynamic running back

1905
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,599
Speaker 2: in Braylan Allen, who, my gosh, could end up being

1906
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 2: a dude that's a Heights and Trophy candidate. Absolutely, so,

1907
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 2: I know that it was ugly last year, and I

1908
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 2: feel like with Wisconsin, anytime there's preseason hype, they fall apart.

1909
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 2: But give me Wisconsin, all right, let's hustle through these

1910
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 2: last two real quick number four team with the most

1911
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 2: pressure kfig who would you put their team with the

1912
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 2: most pressure Texas?

1913
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,760
Speaker 3: A and m oh I like it without question. That

1914
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 3: was when I saw the question. I was like, that

1915
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 3: was the immediate response. A and m You can I

1916
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:35,599
Speaker 3: have back to back to back abysmal seasons out there

1917
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 3: like they've had. And look, and I know Jimbo's got

1918
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 3: this amazing contract with this big buy out, but at

1919
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 3: a certain point and him has to say, we can't

1920
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 3: afford to have this happen. We can't be in the

1921
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 3: sec is showing out this much money, having these higher

1922
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 3: recruiting classes and continue to churn out underwhelming seasons like this,

1923
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 3: So I think the most pressure falls on the shoulders

1924
01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 3: of Jimbo in Texas.

1925
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 11: A and M.

1926
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:57,800
Speaker 2: I am moving hold on directionally challenged. I'm moving a

1927
01:34:57,800 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 2: little bit north, but I'm with you in the state.

1928
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 2: I'm putting Texas in that mix. But can I tell

1929
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 2: you something. A and M is my one ay there

1930
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,479
Speaker 2: am I one A. This is year three under Sark

1931
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 2: and he hasn't even done in two years what Tom

1932
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 2: Herman did. Tom Herman was ten and four, played in

1933
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,360
Speaker 2: a Big twelve championship game and won the Sugar Bowl

1934
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:25,679
Speaker 2: over Georgia, finished in the top ten in his second season,

1935
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 2: then the bottom fell out. Well, that bottom falling out

1936
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 2: record in those last two years of Herman is still

1937
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 2: better than the first two years of Steve Sarkshan.

1938
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: And now Texas fans, I think you've been smart.

1939
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 2: They haven't lost their mind until we start getting into

1940
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 2: the preseason hype.

1941
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 1: They've been smart.

1942
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:45,680
Speaker 2: They've given Sark some time, but they're jumped to the

1943
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 2: SEC next year. They always have the most talent, So

1944
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 2: I think that this is a team that absolutely is

1945
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 2: under pressure to perform, and it's a tough schedule this

1946
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 2: year too, Kevin. They're going to Alabama, They're playing a

1947
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 2: tough schedule. So Texas is that team to me that's

1948
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,719
Speaker 2: under the most pressure. And then for you, who would

1949
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,600
Speaker 2: you put as your biggest surprise, some good surprise, And I.

1950
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 3: Don't think they're gonna win the Big Ten Conference. But

1951
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,440
Speaker 3: from in a similar vein that you have with Wisconsin,

1952
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 3: I have Nebraska with Matt Ruhle really stepping up and

1953
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,799
Speaker 3: having a big turnaround this year. Now, a big turnaround

1954
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 3: is maybe eight wins, you know what I mean, but

1955
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 3: certainly out of the doldrums from where that program has

1956
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 3: been over the last four or five.

1957
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 1: I love them. Att rule higher and I think he's

1958
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 1: gonna end up making a difference for them immediately.

1959
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 2: I do too. This is one that I've really struggled

1960
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:33,680
Speaker 2: and I know we're up against it. I'm not going

1961
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,640
Speaker 2: to tease it, and when we come back, I'll tell

1962
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 2: you my surprise. No.

1963
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 10: No.

1964
01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 1: But the thing for me on this is I want

1965
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: to say Kansas. I had Kansas as an honorable mention,

1966
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 1: believe it or not.

1967
01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 2: Because Kansas brings back Jalen Daniels Offensive Player of the

1968
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 2: Year in the preseason for the Big twelve. But I

1969
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 2: feel like after what they did last year, you know,

1970
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 2: no one's it's like, oh, hey, Kansas went to a

1971
01:36:56,760 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 2: bowl game. Damn Near almost won the thing too. But

1972
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:05,519
Speaker 2: I feel like a one ahead out West. I feel

1973
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 2: like that I want to look a little bit at

1974
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve. And I'm saying this when I know

1975
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,600
Speaker 2: that Arnie Spanier is probably still asleep. I think Arizona

1976
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:18,679
Speaker 2: could be pretty good this year. Wow, I know what's

1977
01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 2: wrong with me. They are in amongst the leaders of

1978
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 2: talent returning this season. I think Jetfish has been incredibly

1979
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 2: patient and how he's built that team, and in fact,

1980
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:31,719
Speaker 2: I'll throw one more team in there. I think both

1981
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 2: Arizona and Arizona State are two teams that could surprise

1982
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 2: this year. Not top ten, not top fifteen teams, but

1983
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 2: teams that could be in the top twenty, top twenty

1984
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 2: five in places that whenever they're on your schedule and

1985
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 2: you got to go on the road, you want nothing

1986
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 2: to do with it.

1987
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1988
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:49,679
Speaker 3: I don't know why they's currently sitting in preseason rankings.

1989
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 3: But don't slow asleep on Oregon State either. Oh my gosh.

1990
01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 3: With DJ there, some.

1991
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: Are saying he might not even win the job.

1992
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's some stiff competition for sure. But they

1993
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 3: got some talent returning too, and they always played pretty tough,

1994
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 3: but last year they came really close to breaking through.

1995
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 3: I think they can have a good year and actually

1996
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:06,800
Speaker 3: compete in the back to Pax twelve North.

1997
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 2: We'll dive into some more college football next, but there

1998
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 2: is our take on biggest Surprise, biggest storyline, most overblown storyline,

1999
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 2: most underrated, and the team with the most pressure. We'll

2000

Speaker 2: or at Arizona pick I'm concerned.

2018
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I just.

2019
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 2: When the ceiling is wait, hold on when the low

2020
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: is so low kfig There's only one way to go, right,

2021
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 2: I mean you can only go up and year by year.

2022
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 2: When you start looking at Arizona football, embarrassing, I mean

2023
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 2: it's an embarrassing program right now. Six and eighteen in

2024
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 2: your last two years, Kevin Sumblin won nine games in

2025
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:53,920
Speaker 2: the last three seasons. You haven't even had a winning

2026
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 2: record since twenty seventeen. You haven't played in a bowl

2027
01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 2: game since twenty seventeen, and you've missed a bowl game

2028
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 2: in six of your last seven years. I mean, a

2029
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 2: bowl game is the minimum you should be doing in

2030
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 2: college football. Six games. You can't get six wins. You

2031
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 2: got to win six games. So it's terrible what they've done.

2032
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 2: So to me, it doesn't take much to say, Wow,

2033
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 2: they're better because all you gotta do is make a

2034
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 2: bowl game. And right now, I think, boy, the Pac

2035
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,640
Speaker 2: twelve desperately needs one of these teams to have a

2036
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 2: big year. They desperately need if it's Arizona or Arizona State.

2037
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 2: They need to hype on Washington to play out. What

2038
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 2: have you made, Kevin on the hype around Washington right now?

2039
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 2: Are you buying it?

2040
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 3: I am, because I think Michael Pennix is that dude.

2041
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 3: He can like him, he can absolutely play.

2042
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 10: Now.

2043
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 3: As far as the rest of the roster and defensively

2044
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 3: could be up there, it could be a bit of

2045
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 3: a question, but I mean Penix was probably on the

2046
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 3: outskirts of like being in the Heisman conversation before he

2047
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 3: got injured towards the end of last season. So I

2048
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 3: think they're obviously in lionetic compete for the North Division

2049
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 3: in the back twelve. I don't know if I'm going

2050
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 3: to go as far as to say they have national

2051
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 3: championship aspirations.

2052
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm willing to go that far.

2053
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 2: I would say, to further kind of defend the take

2054
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 2: on a Pac twelve team, I would almost say that

2055
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:22,479
Speaker 2: I might push Arizona State above Arizona in teams as

2056
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 2: far as win totals are concerned, Right, I'm taking the

2057
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,800
Speaker 2: over on both. And part of this is I'm very

2058
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 2: bullish on Kenny Dillingham. I think he's I think he's

2059
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 2: got a chance to be a really good head coach.

2060
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 2: Did incredible things at Oregon as their offensive coordinator, and

2061
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 2: they went out and absolutely attacked the transfer portal. I

2062
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 2: didn't realize this until I was just looking at their

2063
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:54,479
Speaker 2: depth chart. They could have as many kfig as six

2064
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:58,720
Speaker 2: starters on offense from the transfer portal. They could have

2065
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:02,680
Speaker 2: seven starters on defense whom they brought in from the

2066
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:07,680
Speaker 2: transfer portal. Wow, this last off season. So it's going

2067
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 2: to be tough probably to build chemistry. And I would

2068
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: have been fascinated to pay really close attention, which I

2069
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:18,560
Speaker 2: didn't during their spring. But that's a lot of turnover

2070
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 2: on one roster. But look, we've.

2071
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,080
Speaker 3: Seen it happen like got the USC I think integrated

2072
01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 3: five or six new offensive players and skilled position players

2073
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 3: at that last season in link O'Reilly's first year, a

2074
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 3: lot of guys through the transfer portal and they were

2075
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 3: instantly better. So it certainly can't happen and We're seeing

2076
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 3: like a pseudo free agency with the transfer portal now,

2077
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 3: where teams that may have had deficiencies at a particular

2078
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:44,240
Speaker 3: position might not have that now because the coaches are

2079
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 3: able to go out and recruiting the transfer portal and

2080
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 3: bringing guys to phil holes. So it certainly is not

2081
01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:50,880
Speaker 3: out of the Roman possibility that Arizona can make a

2082
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 3: jump this year.

2083
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that notion. So here's one final

2084
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:56,240
Speaker 2: thought on the sun Devils. I'm talking to Arizona State

2085
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 2: here real quick. The other thing that I really liked

2086
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 2: about Arizona State is team who could surprise. I think

2087
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm now pushing them ahead of Arizona. They play their

2088
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 2: first four games at home, and five of their first

2089
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 2: six at home. They've got Southern they start, They're one

2090
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,680
Speaker 2: of the teams that starts on a Thursday night. They're

2091
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:18,599
Speaker 2: not a week zero, but they start on August thirty. First,

2092
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 2: they start on a Thursday night. They get Southern Utah.

2093
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 2: They've they've got my Gunnies, Oklahoma State Cowboys, whom are

2094
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:26,840
Speaker 2: speaking of teams that are going.

2095
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:27,759
Speaker 1: Through a roster rebuild.

2096
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, they've gone through a big roster rebuild and

2097
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:34,840
Speaker 2: in coordinator rebuild. You get Fresno State at home, you

2098
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 2: get USC in week four at home, and then after

2099
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 2: a trip to Berkeley, I don't know what the Golden

2100
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 2: Bears are going to be.

2101
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:41,839
Speaker 1: Not much.

2102
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 2: They get Colorado at home, and by that point, who

2103
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:48,559
Speaker 2: knows what Colorado is gonna be because of the schedule

2104
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 2: that they're starting out with. So Arizona State is a

2105
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,679
Speaker 2: team that I'm maybe a little bit too high on. Yeah,

2106
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,800
Speaker 2: but the schedule shakes out well for him, a lot

2107
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 2: of home games, a talented coach.

2108
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: I think they're a team that could surprise. They're set

2109
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 1: up well for a great start.

2110
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 3: My issue is the back end of their schedule because

2111
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 3: by the time November rolls around and you have back

2112
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 3: to back at Utah, who's.

2113
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: Gonna be good?

2114
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 3: At UCLA, who I expect to be very good again

2115
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 3: this year, that you finish against Oregon and then the

2116
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,559
Speaker 3: rivalry game against Arizona, you know, you get I can

2117
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 3: very easily see this getting off to a great start

2118
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:22,680
Speaker 3: for the Sun Devils and then tanking down towards the

2119
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 3: back end.

2120
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:24,599
Speaker 1: All right, I can see that happening.

2121
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,280
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be tough because whenever you look at

2122
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 2: a schedule, it's like.

2123
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 1: Dude, look at all these home games.

2124
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, inevitably there's a part and a point

2125
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:34,519
Speaker 2: where it's made up for. It's like, oh, shoot, there

2126
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 2: they are. They're on the road non stop. So again,

2127
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 2: college football. We are only forty nine days away from

2128
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 2: the opening weekend of college football, which means we are

2129
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 2: only seven shows away from this being the start to

2130
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 2: a college football So.

2131
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:57,440
Speaker 1: While you put it that way, let's go. It's a countdown,

2132
01:44:57,600 --> 01:44:57,920
Speaker 1: all right.

2133
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,799
Speaker 2: When we come back, let's get back to wimbin Yama

2134
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,680
Speaker 2: talk we haven't discussed. We've been all college football in

2135
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 2: the first thirty minutes of this hour, and some good

2136
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 2: tweets to get to as well. The first k Fix

2137
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 2: got everything going on in the world of sports with

2138
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:11,120
Speaker 2: what's trending?

2139
01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 1: What's up? Kevin Oh?

2140
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 3: You mentioned Victor wimbin Yama making his summer League debut

2141
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 3: on Friday night for the Spurs. Fairly underwhelming, I guess

2142
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 3: will be a nice way to put it. Nine points

2143
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 3: to of thirteen shooting from the field, did have eight

2144
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 3: rebounds and five block shots. As we mentioned, you know,

2145
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 3: fairly active, a solid passer, but gonna take a little

2146
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 3: bit more time. Second overall pick Brandon Miller for the

2147
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 3: Hornets fifteen points, eleven rebounds, although he struggled from the

2148
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 3: field as well, just five of fifteen from the floor.

2149
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 3: You have the Rockets being the Trailblazers as well, one

2150
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 3: hundred to ninety nine. Scoot Henderson for Portland fifteen points,

2151
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:46,040
Speaker 3: five of thirteen from the field. I'm in Thompson sixteen

2152
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:49,160
Speaker 3: points on six of thirteen shooting, five assists and four

2153
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 3: block shots for the Rockets and left Coos Baseball. You

2154
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 3: at the Mets continuing their hot streak. They beat the

2155
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 3: Padres seven to five and ten innings Francisco Lindor with

2156
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 3: a home run and three rbi. New York winning at

2157
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 3: sixth game in a row. The Dot has won their

2158
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 3: third straight and eleven to four win over the Angels.

2159
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 3: Halos have now lost eight of their last nine. Arizona

2160
01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:11,839
Speaker 3: over Pittsburgh to snap a four game losing streak. Mariner

2161
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:14,759
Speaker 3: scored nine runs in the fourth inning and defeated Houston

2162
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 3: ten to one. It was Baltimore over the Twins three

2163
01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:19,759
Speaker 3: to one, Texas getting a home run from Corey Seeger

2164
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 3: and a seven to two victory over Washington back to

2165
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 3: Chris Plains.

2166
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 2: When we were talking about the NFL, we went in

2167
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 2: depth on the Josh Allen slash.

2168
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 6: Oh.

2169
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 2: I guess you could say situation was to fun Diggs.

2170
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 2: But it was interesting because as I sit here thinking about,

2171
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:41,599
Speaker 2: all right, what's the next big story in the NFL,

2172
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:44,880
Speaker 2: I was scrolling preparing for the show today through Pro

2173
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 2: Football Talk. I even gosh, NFL dot Com, do something

2174
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 2: with your website. Holy smokes, guys, you got billions of

2175
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:54,599
Speaker 2: dollars and I can't do anything without an ad popping

2176
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 2: up when I scroll a video starts playing.

2177
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just can we make this easy?

2178
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:00,799
Speaker 2: Can I go to a website and just have stories

2179
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 2: and video that doesn't play if I happen to scroll

2180
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:03,720
Speaker 2: over it?

2181
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 1: Holy smoke? Asking for way too Muchrizzl's wrong, I think

2182
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:06,720
Speaker 1: I am.

2183
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,600
Speaker 2: But I it was funny because I found myself and

2184
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 2: just say, all right, what are we going to talk about?

2185
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 2: What are we going to get into? What's the big

2186
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 2: stories in the NFL beyond this? You know, kind of

2187
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 2: created drama, if you will, thanks to Sean McDermott involving

2188
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 2: Digs and involving you know, Josh Allen and the bills

2189
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 2: and I realized, you know, the other big story that

2190
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:29,640
Speaker 2: I had written down to get to might also be

2191
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 2: created drama. Right, I mean, we got to get to

2192
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 2: the point in the NFL where we we got to

2193
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 2: play some games.

2194
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta get some games.

2195
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 2: Because Mike Florio, whom I love and I love Pro

2196
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 2: Football Talk, It's it's a website that I constantly read

2197
01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 2: and I'm constantly digging into.

2198
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:46,760
Speaker 1: It's almost as.

2199
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 2: If he's got to burrow up his backside when it

2200
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:52,439
Speaker 2: comes to Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. And you know,

2201
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 2: it's been three years since Tom Brady left and the

2202
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 2: Patriots having won a Super Bowl. But in those three years,

2203
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 2: they started a rookie quarterback two of the three years,

2204
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 2: went to the playoffs and did the weirdest thing I

2205
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen, as it pertains to their offensive

2206
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 2: coordinator last year. Right, it makes no sense, but I'm

2207
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,439
Speaker 2: just I can't stop cracking up. And I was like, well,

2208
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 2: this could be it for Belichick in New England. This

2209
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: could be there could be problems there and maybe they're

2210
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:23,479
Speaker 2: not happy with the way that it's going. Do you

2211
01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 2: know how quickly any other team in the NFL that

2212
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 2: doesn't have Andy Reid as its head coach, would want

2213
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 2: to bring Bill Belichick to be the coach. Yesterday, Am

2214
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 2: I missing something here? I was like, well, he hasn't

2215
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 2: done anything without Brady. Okay, we'll show me a successful

2216
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:46,840
Speaker 2: head coach who has won Super Bowls without a superstar quarterback. Now,

2217
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 2: some might say Joe Gibbs, that's fair, all right, but

2218
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 2: you're going going back a long way. Brian Billock. Alright,

2219
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,240
Speaker 2: he did once with one of the greatest defenses in

2220
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 2: the history of the sport. And John Gruden did the

2221
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:02,000
Speaker 2: same thing with Tampa Bay Mike Ditka. But that list

2222
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 2: is very short, very short list. So I guess I

2223
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 2: don't understand this. Well, what has he done without Tom Brady?

2224
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I don't know. What did Andy Reid

2225
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 2: do without Patrick Mahomes. He'd never won a Super Bowl?

2226
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 2: You know what, Nick Foles won the Super Bowl for

2227
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 2: the Eagles. But it's gonna sound crazy to some of

2228
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 2: you that have maybe not paid attention to the NFL.

2229
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 2: At one point, Carson Wentz was really good and he

2230
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 2: was an MVP candidate that year that they won the

2231
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:28,080
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

2232
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

2233
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm not a Patriots fan I'm not a Patriots defender,

2234
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:35,599
Speaker 2: but I mean even there's this cbssports dot Com article

2235
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:38,000
Speaker 2: that's like, oh, you know, I know, Bill Belichick is

2236
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 2: close to the most wins of all time, but he's

2237
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,599
Speaker 2: even closer to the most losses of all time.

2238
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:45,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Oh, does what happens to you? Coach

2239
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: for fifty years? What's wrong with you people? Geez?

2240
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 2: I mean, I have been turned into a defender of

2241
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,360
Speaker 2: the things that I despise, because there's gotta be some

2242
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 2: common sense that pops up. If Bill Belichick and the

2243
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,920
Speaker 2: Patriots have a divorce, which is inevitable, right, nothing ever

2244
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 2: ends well, probably he's got to have a job in

2245
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 2: a heartbeat if he wants one. If he wants one.

2246
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:14,960
Speaker 1: So I've never understood this.

2247
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 2: There could be issues in New England between Robert Kraft

2248
01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 2: and Bill Belichick. I mean, why would you want to

2249
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 2: do that? Why is that something you would want to employ?

2250
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 2: You're that mad over the fact that they haven't drafted

2251
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 2: a receiver that's panned out.

2252
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get it. I don't get it

2253
01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 1: at all.

2254
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 2: And I'll never understand it because you're now in a

2255
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:39,679
Speaker 2: division that things are buffalo hit on a quarterback. Right,

2256
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,960
Speaker 2: we'll see if Miami can carry over momentum. The Jets

2257
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:46,879
Speaker 2: have brought in Aaron Rodgers. It's suddenly a different AFC East.

2258
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 2: But it's not like the Patriots have fallen at two

2259
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 2: and fifteen. Are three and fourteen. It makes no sense

2260
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 2: to me. People thought that they fallen off the face

2261
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:58,400
Speaker 2: of the earth. Look, has he made some questionable decisions. Absolutely,

2262
01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 2: the Matt Patricia situation, and judge was, yeah, weird. I

2263
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:05,920
Speaker 2: think we'll be putting it mildly and nicely. But outside

2264
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 2: of that, you mentioned the quarterback situation has been an issue.

2265
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:10,799
Speaker 3: Look, the rookie year from Meg Jones was pretty solid.

2266
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:12,600
Speaker 3: Took a step back last year. There's going to be

2267
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 3: some progressions and some setbacks here and there. But I

2268
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,720
Speaker 3: don't think Bill Belichick forgot how to coach. No less

2269
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,600
Speaker 3: of a great coach. Yeah, I just think it's just

2270
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:20,639
Speaker 3: a transition period.

2271
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:22,320
Speaker 1: It happens. It happens.

2272
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 2: And you also have I fought with a couple of

2273
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 2: Patriots fans about this to where I've just stopped. I'm like, Okay,

2274
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,200
Speaker 2: fire him, just let him go, that's fine, you know what,

2275
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 2: Just just let him go. You let him get out

2276
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:32,320
Speaker 2: of here.

2277
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 3: You want to parallel, how about the Spurs fire Greg

2278
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 3: Popovitch and see how long he's on the street, because

2279
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 3: they'd been awful the last what six years, whatever it's been.

2280
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 2: I mean, this whole idea that you can win without

2281
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 2: elite talent is one that always blows my mind.

2282
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 1: I mean for someone.

2283
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 2: That's like, well, look at TCU last year, what happened

2284
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:57,080
Speaker 2: when they went up against elite talent? And by the way,

2285
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:01,679
Speaker 2: go look at the NFL draft of TCU players were drafted.

2286
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:04,840
Speaker 2: Let's see what Sunny Dyke's can do this year. Take

2287
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 2: it to the NFL. Right, Belichick is a great example.

2288
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 2: When you don't have that elite quarterback, it's a struggle

2289
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 2: for everybuddy. Look of Phil Jackson, one of the greatest

2290
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:20,280
Speaker 2: coaches of all time. What happened when things started to

2291
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 2: fade with Shaq and Kobe and what happened when things

2292
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 2: start It just is I think pointless to try to

2293
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 2: point a finger and say, what have you done without Brady?

2294
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 2: I mean, what what has any coach done without players? Yeah,

2295
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 2: we got elite Hall of Fame players. It just oh,

2296
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,480
Speaker 2: you want to make him out to be a superstar

2297
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,120
Speaker 2: and a hero because he did this with that player,

2298
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:47,240
Speaker 2: and then well, yes, yes, that's that's what we do.

2299
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:52,440
Speaker 2: That's that's how we that's how we basically define greatness.

2300
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 2: You find me coaches that do it with a subpar

2301
01:52:56,600 --> 01:53:01,679
Speaker 2: roster in professional leagues and when tie, it just doesn't happen,

2302
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 2: doesn't exist. Look, I'm having to stand here today for

2303
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick one. I know it's a disgusting taste in

2304
01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:09,519
Speaker 2: your mouth.

2305
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 1: I get it.

2306
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:12,640
Speaker 2: I might have to go drink a beer during this

2307
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 2: break just to feel better about myself, all right, didn't

2308
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:18,640
Speaker 2: plan that. But one quick tweet before we grab a

2309
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 2: break at Plank Show at KFIG one at Fox Sports Radio,

2310
01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 2: our man Harry James Taylor, the hype Man. Harry sent

2311
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:34,960
Speaker 2: us his list for the storyline, the biggest storyline, Georgia,

2312
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 2: most overblown storyline, Texas, most underrated team, Oklahoma, team with

2313
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 2: the most pressure Oklahoma biggest surprise as simew In case

2314
01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:48,640
Speaker 2: you can't tell, Harry James Taylor as you know you

2315
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:53,000
Speaker 2: fan who followed up with before you call me a homer. Remember,

2316
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:56,679
Speaker 2: Oklahoma isn't even the second favorite to participate in Arlington

2317
01:53:56,920 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 2: for the Big Twelve Championship.

2318
01:53:58,120 --> 01:53:58,880
Speaker 1: That's Kansas State.

2319
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 2: Preseason media polls are dumb, but they're great content for us.

2320
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:07,120
Speaker 2: So with that said, I don't I mean Texas is

2321
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:08,680
Speaker 2: an overblown storyline.

2322
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 1: I think that happens every single year.

2323
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 3: But how do you feel about O you, mister Sooner.

2324
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 3: I mean they've been They were very active in the

2325
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:19,520
Speaker 3: transfer portal too, especially more defense.

2326
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: They were they brought in. I like the bothoid kid

2327
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:23,639
Speaker 1: that brought him from Wake Forest.

2328
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:31,680
Speaker 2: I am cautiously optimistic, Okay, cautiously optimistic. Part of it

2329
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 2: is I think their schedule is favorable. Part of it

2330
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,360
Speaker 2: is I think Dylan Gabriel is going to be better. Yep,

2331
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 2: I think I hope this is a situation where they

2332
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 2: don't have to play the freshman Jackson Arnold and he

2333
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:45,800
Speaker 2: can learn. I hope he has a Bryce Young year.

2334
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 2: You know, Bryce Young didn't start as freshman year. C J.

2335
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 1: Stroud didn't start.

2336
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:51,040
Speaker 2: You know, these guys had a year to kind of

2337
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 2: acclimate themselves to college life, in the college scheme and

2338
01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 2: whatever their offensive coordinator is going to run. But I think,

2339
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 2: more than anything else, to be better defensively. Yeah, well,

2340
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:05,440
Speaker 2: it's hard to be worse, so you can't get much

2341
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:09,720
Speaker 2: more frustrated, I think than their head coach, Print Vinnibles

2342
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:11,960
Speaker 2: was with their defense. But I've been told by everyone

2343
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 2: who's much smarter than me, it's a challenging defense to learn,

2344
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:18,040
Speaker 2: and a year later they feel like they've learned a

2345
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 2: little bit more. But to his point, with team of

2346
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 2: the most pressure, oh absolutely, I mean Texas and Oklahoma,

2347
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 2: or as I like to put it, Oklahom and Texas.

2348
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:26,920
Speaker 1: They got to win.

2349
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 2: You know, they've got to put their donors, they got

2350
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:33,320
Speaker 2: to put their recruits, they've got to reassure everyone that

2351
01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:35,839
Speaker 2: they're going into the SEC winners.

2352
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 1: Good point. And if they don't, if.

2353
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 2: They don't listen, I'm focused on twenty three because recruiting classes,

2354
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 2: they'll be held together. If you win, donor money to

2355
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:50,040
Speaker 2: nil to facilities jumps up when you win. Both of

2356
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 2: those teams have to win heading into a new conference,

2357
01:55:52,480 --> 01:55:55,800
Speaker 2: as does USC and UCLA. When we come back, some

2358
01:55:55,840 --> 01:56:00,400
Speaker 2: final thoughts for whoa hour three, including more than just

2359
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 2: wimbin Yama from the NBA.

2360

2369
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:38,840
Speaker 2: alarm clock was set for six forty five a Central time,

2370
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 2: then here's a couple of things you missed if you

2371
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 2: went to bed last night early. Victor winmbin Yama made

2372
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 2: his debut. What's the How have you described it, kfig

2373
01:56:46,800 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 2: because you describe it perfectly in the updates less than

2374
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:51,040
Speaker 2: lesson stellar.

2375
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 1: Fairly underwhelming is what I said.

2376
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:55,920
Speaker 2: That's why I'm writing that down and I'm using that

2377
01:56:56,080 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 2: not fairly underwhelming. Two for thirteen with nine points, eight boards,

2378
01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 2: three assists in five blocks. So that was big news

2379
01:57:05,880 --> 01:57:08,040
Speaker 2: last night. It seems like the only thing that happened

2380
01:57:08,040 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 2: in sports. The Dodgers get a win last night. They

2381
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 2: knock off the Angels, Mets make it six straight.

2382
01:57:15,480 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 1: So ate a couple of baseball notes.

2383
01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 2: And then in the National Football League, well, he had

2384
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:26,360
Speaker 2: a little buzz about Jacksonville maybe playing in a NASCAR

2385
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:30,960
Speaker 2: track they turn an International speedway, may actually have to

2386
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:34,040
Speaker 2: host Jacksonville Jaguar games. More on that in just a bit,

2387
01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 2: but I want to pay off the teas. There's more

2388
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:41,960
Speaker 2: NBA news than just Wymben Yama's debut. Right, We're still

2389
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 2: waiting on Damian Lillard. We're going to hit that out

2390
01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 2: to the top of the hour, but k fig in

2391
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 2: our final couple minutes here would you make of the

2392
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 2: report out of I believe it was Houston that m

2393
01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 2: a Udoka was the man who shot down the potential

2394
01:57:57,200 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 2: of a return for James Harden.

2395
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,160
Speaker 1: To hughes it.

2396
01:58:02,280 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 2: Heavy sports actually is where they started. And I got

2397
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:08,560
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, never heard of heavy sports before,

2398
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,680
Speaker 2: but quote from everything we've gotten out there out of there,

2399
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 2: it was a matter that time that I didn't want

2400
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:16,800
Speaker 2: him at the beginning.

2401
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:18,600
Speaker 1: Were they thinking about Harden?

2402
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then they hired im and MA said, quote,

2403
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 2: it's not going to work here. They wound up with

2404
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:29,360
Speaker 2: a guy that fits better in Van Vliet. He's going

2405
01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:31,600
Speaker 2: to be able to give them scoring they need, but

2406
01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 2: not going to dominate the ball the way Harden would

2407
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,879
Speaker 2: the way Harden does. And I think what you've noticed,

2408
01:58:39,720 --> 01:58:43,040
Speaker 2: K think that market's just not developing for James Harden

2409
01:58:43,120 --> 01:58:45,640
Speaker 2: right now, even to the point where the buzz is, hey,

2410
01:58:45,640 --> 01:58:47,720
Speaker 2: he might have to end up going back to Philadelphia

2411
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 2: if he wants to play.

2412
01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised by the Houston aspect. You look at

2413
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:54,800
Speaker 3: what they're they're clearly in a rebuild. They're bringing in

2414
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 3: a lot of good young talent, and you signed someone

2415
01:58:57,400 --> 01:59:00,400
Speaker 3: like Fred van Vliet knowing that he's a respected veteran.

2416
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:02,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna come in, He's going to teach the young guys.

2417
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:05,320
Speaker 3: He doesn't have at least the reputation that Harden does

2418
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:07,680
Speaker 3: as maybe being a bit of a me guy, being

2419
01:59:07,720 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 3: a loof at times. So I do think for Ameni Doka,

2420
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:13,040
Speaker 3: who's been around obviously for years, he knows the league

2421
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:16,680
Speaker 3: and knows how these players operate, just doesn't really jive

2422
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:19,920
Speaker 3: with his program. So that doesn't necessarily surprise me all

2423
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:21,440
Speaker 3: that much that he may will be the one to

2424
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:23,200
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, nip it in the butt when

2425
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 3: he came to pursue pursuing James Harden.

2426
01:59:25,120 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think Houston isn't in try to

2427
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:33,800
Speaker 2: win mode, right. They they're in a position now where

2428
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 2: they've they've been able to rebuild through the draft, or

2429
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:39,600
Speaker 2: at least try to. But when you you think about

2430
01:59:39,600 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 2: the Houston Rockets' future draft picks, I mean it, it's

2431
01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 2: not as if it's a team that has complete and

2432
01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 2: total control over things for a while.

2433
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, no, Actually, you know what, I take them.

2434
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:51,480
Speaker 2: I thought they didn't have their pick next year, but

2435
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 2: they got their first round pick from Brooklyn. Next year,

2436
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:57,040
Speaker 2: they got a twenty five pick from Oklahoma City or Brooklyn,

2437
01:59:57,600 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 2: and finally have their own pick back in twenty five.

2438
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 2: So I think they're still in win now mode with

2439
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:04,720
Speaker 2: the signings they've made. But I don't think they're like

2440
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 2: in championship mode. They're still building.

2441
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 1: So Harden doesn't help that k Fig and no, they

2442
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 1: may not move No, So I mean the fact they

2443
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: go with Van Vliet.

2444
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:15,560
Speaker 3: I questioned the Dylan Brooks contract that they gave him

2445
02:00:15,880 --> 02:00:17,839
Speaker 3: because it kind of feel like you're fighting too completely.

2446
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:19,440
Speaker 3: I feel like those are two opposite players on the

2447
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 3: ends of the spectrum in terms of the way they

2448
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 3: handle themselves and how they play. But I guess there's

2449
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:26,440
Speaker 3: a certain element of toughness if you want to call

2450
02:00:26,440 --> 02:00:29,040
Speaker 3: it that that Dylan Brooks brings to them, So yeah,

2451
02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 3: I'd say, look what.

2452
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Their moves right here. Yeah, we'll get into next right

2453
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:32,720
Speaker 1: here on Fox Ketty.

2454
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Even down to Damian Lillard's everyone thinks they know tweet

2455
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:39,400
Speaker 2: that he threw out.

2456
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I feel like this is stuff like this

2457
02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:43,360
Speaker 3: is why people get annoyed.

2458
02:00:42,920 --> 02:00:43,480
Speaker 1: With the NBA.

2459
02:00:43,720 --> 02:00:45,920
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, and I'm all for a

2460
02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:49,280
Speaker 3: player movement and player empowerment to a certain degree, but look,

2461
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:51,040
Speaker 3: you sign a contract, you say you don't want to

2462
02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 3: be there at that point in time.

2463
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:54,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of out of your hands. Let them handle it.

2464
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Portland's gonna try their best to do right by you

2465
02:00:57,120 --> 02:00:58,839
Speaker 3: and send you to a place where you can compete.

2466
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 3: I realize you want to go to Miami, but it

2467
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 3: might not work out that way. And by you know,

2468
02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:06,560
Speaker 3: basically poisoning the rest of the market, it's not helping

2469
02:01:06,600 --> 02:01:08,960
Speaker 3: your cause because Miami's not going to offer anything of

2470
02:01:09,040 --> 02:01:11,880
Speaker 3: value to Portland. And what's to stop Portland from saying like, I, look,

2471
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 3: I know you don't want to be here, but we're

2472
02:01:13,840 --> 02:01:15,640
Speaker 3: not going to just give you away for pinions on

2473
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 3: the dollar, because that's where you want to go.

2474
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:19,240
Speaker 1: We'd rather just have you sit here and do nothing.

2475
02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: You can't risk it. You can't risk it, all right.

2476
02:01:21,640 --> 02:01:26,040
Speaker 2: So a couple of NBA audio pieces from this week

2477
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:29,320
Speaker 2: that I wanted to share. If you have, I don't know,

2478
02:01:29,400 --> 02:01:32,520
Speaker 2: stayed up through the night and you watched the reaction

2479
02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:35,560
Speaker 2: to winm bin Yama's debut, you know how people are

2480
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:37,480
Speaker 2: treating it, which leads me to this.

2481
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Draymond Green was right. He was on the.

2482
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Paul George podcast this week and was asked about whinm

2483
02:01:45,440 --> 02:01:48,080
Speaker 2: Binyanna women yam excuse me, and said this, I.

2484
02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:50,280
Speaker 6: Think people are setting him up for failure, like, oh,

2485
02:01:50,320 --> 02:01:52,640
Speaker 6: he's going to be an All Star next year, Like, man,

2486
02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:55,800
Speaker 6: it's hard in his eighties. Yeah, it's hard to become

2487
02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:57,360
Speaker 6: an All Star in this league. Now if he do,

2488
02:01:57,600 --> 02:01:59,360
Speaker 6: like God be with him, Yeah.

2489
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I hope he's just I think.

2490
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:04,280
Speaker 6: But to say like he's going to be an All

2491
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:06,720
Speaker 6: Star next year, as if he don't have to figure

2492
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:09,160
Speaker 6: this game out, I don't really buy that.

2493
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:10,000
Speaker 1: I think he.

2494
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:12,200
Speaker 6: Will be special, but an All Star next year, I

2495
02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:13,320
Speaker 6: think that's a bit much.

2496
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:17,880
Speaker 2: I think we do this though with every top pick

2497
02:02:18,240 --> 02:02:21,040
Speaker 2: if they're not great, right, out of the gates, then

2498
02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:24,640
Speaker 2: they suck. We don't allow any top pick an opportunity

2499
02:02:25,120 --> 02:02:28,760
Speaker 2: to develop you now anymore. I think it's expanded almost

2500
02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:31,040
Speaker 2: to the top five. And it's the same thing in

2501
02:02:31,080 --> 02:02:33,280
Speaker 2: the NFL draft. You know, you get him for five years,

2502
02:02:33,320 --> 02:02:36,760
Speaker 2: but if you're not good by two, they're out. NBA,

2503
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:39,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I was looking back at old drafts this week.

2504
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 2: There were dudes that were drafted in the top ten

2505
02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:43,480
Speaker 2: three years ago.

2506
02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:44,840
Speaker 1: That are already on their third team.

2507
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:49,720
Speaker 2: So I just I'm I think Draymond's right because of

2508
02:02:49,760 --> 02:02:51,880
Speaker 2: all the hype, we really are setting him up to

2509
02:02:51,920 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 2: fail even if he is great, because he's not going

2510
02:02:54,760 --> 02:02:55,840
Speaker 2: to do it immediately.

2511
02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you wonder if he can be great

2512
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:02,480
Speaker 3: enough level, what would be his comp for him to

2513
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:05,040
Speaker 3: say he accomplished everything that the punden said that he

2514
02:03:05,080 --> 02:03:07,560
Speaker 3: was going to accomplish Lebron.

2515
02:03:07,680 --> 02:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Magic, MJ.

2516
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:13,480
Speaker 3: Kareem's that's a lot of, you know, expectations to put

2517
02:03:13,520 --> 02:03:15,560
Speaker 3: on the shoulders of a kid who hasn't played a

2518
02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:18,600
Speaker 3: single game in the NBA yet, And it's just unrealistic

2519
02:03:18,640 --> 02:03:20,160
Speaker 3: to your point, for someone to say that he'd be

2520
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 3: an All star his first year was Lebron James. I

2521
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:24,920
Speaker 3: don't think it was even an All Star his first

2522
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:27,600
Speaker 3: couple of years. Maybe year two or three. Yeah, but

2523
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:28,800
Speaker 3: it's certainly not his first year.

2524
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:31,840
Speaker 2: Lebron James didn't play in a playoff game until his

2525
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:34,800
Speaker 2: third year, right, so he keep that in mind, all right, quick,

2526
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:37,040
Speaker 2: when we come back. There is one other piece of

2527
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:40,400
Speaker 2: audio involving some drama that I wanted to catch up

2528
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:42,400
Speaker 2: on this week when we come back. But first, the

2529
02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:45,440
Speaker 2: tire rock dot Com studios Kevin Figures has an update

2530
02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:47,680
Speaker 2: on everything that's gone on in the world of sports.

2531
02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 1: What's up? K fig?

2532
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:50,640

Speaker 3: the start of the Vegas Summer League on Friday night.

2534
02:03:53,320 --> 02:03:56,040
Speaker 3: Victor wimbin Yama caught in the struggle, to say the least,

2535
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,280
Speaker 3: just two of thirteen shooting, score just nine points, did

2536
02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 3: have five block shots and eight rebounds against Charlotte. They

2537
02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 3: did pick up that victory San Antonio did. Brandon Miller,

2538
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 3: of the second overall pick by Charlotte, scored fifteen points

2539
02:04:08,440 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 3: with eleven rebounds. A story just coming in from Adrian

2540
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 3: Warzanowski of ESPN about twenty minutes ago. Forward Dario Sarich,

2541

2545
02:04:27,400 --> 02:04:30,360
Speaker 3: games in a row that the New York Mets have won. Meanwhile,

2546
02:04:30,400 --> 02:04:33,839
Speaker 3: the Padres have seen their three game wins streak snapped.

2547
02:04:34,120 --> 02:04:36,879
Speaker 3: Dodgers won their third straight. They beat the Angels eleven

2548

2557
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Back to Chris Plaink.

2558
02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:07,120
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kevin, here is the other I guess

2559
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 2: you could say NBA storyline that cracked me up this week.

2560
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Pool's photo shoot for his first time in Washington

2561
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:18,160
Speaker 2: uniform was hilarious because they found every picture where it

2562
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 2: looked like he was sad and disappointed. But I found

2563
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 2: this interesting from our affiliate ninety five to seven the

2564
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:29,720
Speaker 2: game out of the Bay Area, and they had Jason Dumison,

2565
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:34,320
Speaker 2: who is one of their reporters and a good NBA report,

2566
02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:37,400
Speaker 2: a good overall reporter and that also good TV. Dude,

2567
02:05:38,440 --> 02:05:41,760
Speaker 2: he had this to say about the end of the

2568
02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:44,920
Speaker 2: Jordan Pool era at Golden State, And because I gotta

2569
02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:47,280
Speaker 2: be honest with you, kfig, I always thought it was

2570
02:05:47,480 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 2: him and Draymond thing that that's why he's gone, that's

2571
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 2: why he's not there because Draymond punched him.

2572
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:54,280
Speaker 1: In the face.

2573
02:05:54,920 --> 02:05:58,520
Speaker 12: And oh my gosh, A quick little sidebar to this,

2574
02:05:58,520 --> 02:06:03,839
Speaker 12: this whole idea that Jordan Poole should have just been like, Okay,

2575
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:06,600
Speaker 12: it's fine, I accept your apology.

2576
02:06:07,360 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 2: I mean no, no, And I don't remember who it was.

2577
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:15,960
Speaker 2: I think it was Zach Lowe. And again, I'm sorry

2578
02:06:16,040 --> 02:06:17,880
Speaker 2: Zach if it wasn't you, But they're like man, and

2579
02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Draymond did everything he could and trying to make it.

2580
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Up to him.

2581
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:23,080
Speaker 2: Listen, there's some things that we're not gonna be good

2582
02:06:23,320 --> 02:06:26,840
Speaker 2: after it happens. Okay, you'll get apologized to me all

2583
02:06:26,880 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 2: you want, but we're still gonna have beef. Especially if

2584
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 2: you sucker punched me like Draymond Green did, that's going

2585
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:37,840
Speaker 2: to be a problem. So I'll defend Draymond for just

2586
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:40,360
Speaker 2: about anything. I like Draymond Green. Now I've done a

2587
02:06:40,360 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 2: big one eighty on him, but I'll tell you what,

2588
02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 2: I can't defend him in that, and I'm not gonna

2589
02:06:44,560 --> 02:06:48,800
Speaker 2: be How dare Jordan Poole not accept apologies after what happened.

2590
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm just no, that's not happening.

2591
02:06:50,960 --> 02:06:53,400
Speaker 2: So I always thought Kevin that was the reason why

2592
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:56,000
Speaker 2: they decided they needed to move on from Jordan Poole,

2593
02:06:56,040 --> 02:06:58,920
Speaker 2: because everything last year was, oh my gosh, Jordan Poole,

2594
02:06:59,160 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole. Well, according to Jason Dumas in his report,

2595
02:07:03,120 --> 02:07:05,720
Speaker 2: apparently it wasn't necessarily Draymond Green.

2596
02:07:06,040 --> 02:07:10,720
Speaker 9: I honestly think the relationship between him and Steve was

2597
02:07:10,840 --> 02:07:14,680
Speaker 9: more of what got him traded. In the relationship with

2598
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:17,720
Speaker 9: him and Draymond Green. I just think he was kind

2599
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:20,200
Speaker 9: of fed up with the fact that Jordan was kind

2600
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:23,360
Speaker 9: of huffing him puffing that he wasn't in the right

2601
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 9: role for him, and I think that had more to

2602
02:07:26,440 --> 02:07:29,520
Speaker 9: builded him being mot than that puts another punch didn't

2603
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 9: help in his in Draymond relationship wasn't great, but I

2604
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:35,240
Speaker 9: think Steve was more fed up than anything.

2605
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:40,040
Speaker 2: So and maybe part of Steve Curr's frustration is Jason

2606
02:07:40,080 --> 02:07:43,280
Speaker 2: brought up. Maybe part of it was because of the

2607
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:46,240
Speaker 2: of the way things were going with the offense, yeah,

2608
02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:49,960
Speaker 2: or maybe the other part of it is that he

2609
02:07:50,120 --> 02:07:54,760
Speaker 2: just never really got over what happened and Golden State

2610
02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:57,240
Speaker 2: was going to be committed to Draymond Green. I mean,

2611
02:07:57,280 --> 02:08:00,160
Speaker 2: they gave him a three year deal, so maybe it's

2612
02:08:00,160 --> 02:08:02,680
Speaker 2: just a situation that wasn't tenable anymore.

2613
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, they also gave him that humongous contract extension off

2614
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:09,960
Speaker 3: of really just one uber productive season, and let's be honest,

2615
02:08:09,960 --> 02:08:11,720
Speaker 3: he was kind of a weak link from them down

2616
02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:14,720
Speaker 3: the stretch and especially in that Lakers series. So, I mean,

2617
02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:17,480
Speaker 3: you know, you mentioned the offensive issues playing outside of

2618
02:08:17,480 --> 02:08:19,240
Speaker 3: the offense. Well, if you're playing outside of the offense,

2619
02:08:19,240 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 3: that probably alludes to the fact that you're not really

2620
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:23,640
Speaker 3: listening to the coach. And Steve curR and what he

2621
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:26,160
Speaker 3: wants you to do and look, I think that the

2622
02:08:26,160 --> 02:08:29,760
Speaker 3: Warriors know the clock is ticking on their championship window.

2623
02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:32,360
Speaker 3: Some people think it's already closed, which I mean, who

2624
02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:34,240
Speaker 3: do you think is a more valuable asset to how

2625
02:08:34,280 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 3: they're built? Even though I think Jordan Pool over the

2626
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:38,400
Speaker 3: next three years is going to be a better just

2627
02:08:38,520 --> 02:08:41,920
Speaker 3: individual player overall than Draymond Green for that team and

2628
02:08:41,960 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 3: how they are built and what they get from Draymond

2629
02:08:44,480 --> 02:08:46,800
Speaker 3: versus what they get from Jordan, I think Draymond's a

2630
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:48,760
Speaker 3: more valuable piece to them, and I think they kind

2631
02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:50,440
Speaker 3: of saw him as being a little petulant at times.

2632
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:52,560
Speaker 3: It's like, we don't need to deal with this, especially

2633
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 3: for the next four or five years making twenty plus

2634
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 3: million dollars a season.

2635
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 1: We'd rather just punt on this now.

2636
02:09:00,200 --> 02:09:04,680
Speaker 2: What It's been one of the more juicy stories for

2637
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:06,800
Speaker 2: the better part of a couple of years, all right,

2638
02:09:06,840 --> 02:09:08,760
Speaker 2: better part of a year now after the puncher, not

2639
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:11,520
Speaker 2: quite the year anniversary of it. But I still have

2640
02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:15,600
Speaker 2: one looming question. How'd that video get out?

2641
02:09:16,080 --> 02:09:16,360
Speaker 1: Yep?

2642
02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 2: How that video get out? How are you not bent to?

2643
02:09:22,120 --> 02:09:25,880
Speaker 2: How you know what? If you're Draymond Green, that that

2644
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:29,680
Speaker 2: video got out. Now, what's this contract per year? Like

2645
02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:30,560
Speaker 2: twenty five mil.

2646
02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:32,360
Speaker 3: Twenty about twenty five million a year for three years

2647
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 3: and then there's a team option for the fourth.

2648
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:37,240
Speaker 2: I think I could get over it for twenty five

2649
02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 2: MILLI year. I think you'd be like, oh, you leaked that.

2650
02:09:39,160 --> 02:09:43,120
Speaker 2: That's fine, But it also makes me me wonder, do

2651
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:46,640
Speaker 2: they know, do the right do the Warriors know?

2652
02:09:47,080 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 1: And has that been dealt with?

2653
02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 2: Because stories I've got a laundry list of stories that

2654
02:09:52,160 --> 02:09:56,480
Speaker 2: have just disappeared. We're talking about them and they just disappear,

2655
02:09:56,640 --> 02:10:01,000
Speaker 2: right the uh, the gambling issues at Iowa and Iowa

2656
02:10:01,080 --> 02:10:06,800
Speaker 2: State in college football and college sports right disappeared. USC's

2657
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:10,920
Speaker 2: athletic director search Yep, it's disappeared. What's going on there?

2658
02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:15,120
Speaker 2: But to me, of of the NBA stories that have disappeared,

2659
02:10:15,920 --> 02:10:18,160
Speaker 2: who leaked that tape? How did that get out?

2660
02:10:18,280 --> 02:10:18,480
Speaker 9: I mean?

2661
02:10:18,800 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 2: And maybe from my perspective because I haven't gone, Oh,

2662
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:26,640
Speaker 2: I don't know super investigative reporter on it. Maybe it's

2663
02:10:26,680 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 2: one of those everyone in the Bay Area knows and

2664
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 2: it's kind of an un uh, not talked about thing.

2665
02:10:31,880 --> 02:10:34,440
Speaker 2: But there's several stories that I still need answers. To

2666
02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:37,120
Speaker 2: and as far as my depth chart is concerned, that's

2667
02:10:37,120 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 2: pretty much near the top of it.

2668
02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 3: I don't disagree on that's internal subterfuge right there. I mean,

2669
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 3: if you're Steve Kerr, and I mean, and some people

2670
02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:46,080
Speaker 3: mention this when it first happened, they're like, I'm almost

2671
02:10:46,160 --> 02:10:48,400
Speaker 3: more upset at the staffer than let that video get

2672
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:48,760
Speaker 3: out than.

2673
02:10:48,720 --> 02:10:49,640
Speaker 1: I was at Draymond.

2674
02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:51,760
Speaker 3: Now I'm not, but you know, but you know what

2675
02:10:51,800 --> 02:10:54,160
Speaker 3: I mean is like things like things that things like

2676
02:10:54,200 --> 02:10:56,520
Speaker 3: this happened behind closed doors and practices. I won't say

2677
02:10:56,520 --> 02:10:58,800
Speaker 3: all the time that you know, players get cold cocked,

2678
02:10:59,320 --> 02:11:02,000
Speaker 3: but there's and there's pushing and shoving and things that

2679
02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 3: happen the things that you don't want getting out in public.

2680
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 3: And I just wonder to your point whether or not

2681
02:11:07,320 --> 02:11:10,080
Speaker 3: they did some sort of internal investigation and determining how

2682
02:11:10,120 --> 02:11:11,400
Speaker 3: that video was made public.

2683
02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:11,880
Speaker 9: You know.

2684
02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:14,600
Speaker 2: You know, the funny thing is everyone will always counter, well,

2685
02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:18,000
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan punched so and so, and I'm sure I've

2686
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:20,560
Speaker 2: never seen the video though same, no one's ever seen

2687
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:21,640
Speaker 2: the video stuff of legend.

2688
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so who knows?

2689
02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, I'm hesitant to do

2690
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:33,160
Speaker 2: this because I'll start getting overly excited for the twenty

2691
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:38,840
Speaker 2: twenty four NFL Draft. But with that said, kudos to

2692
02:11:40,080 --> 02:11:44,680
Speaker 2: Jordan Reid. I'm a big fan of Jordan Reed, who

2693
02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:48,880
Speaker 2: dropped the first mock draft that I've seen that seems

2694
02:11:48,880 --> 02:11:51,720
Speaker 2: to make sense, though it does, I think my favorite

2695
02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:54,240
Speaker 2: thing about mock drafts is when people try to project

2696
02:11:54,240 --> 02:11:57,280
Speaker 2: who's going to be picking where right ready, It's like, yo,

2697
02:11:57,400 --> 02:12:01,280
Speaker 2: you know, we got Arizona at one and two. Unpopular take.

2698
02:12:01,320 --> 02:12:03,360
Speaker 2: I'm taking the over for the Texans this year. I

2699
02:12:03,400 --> 02:12:05,680
Speaker 2: don't think Arizona's gonna be picking one and two, but

2700
02:12:05,720 --> 02:12:07,520
Speaker 2: I do think there's a chance they could be picking

2701
02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 2: number one. Which direction does Jordan Reed think they're gonna go.

2702
02:12:11,600 --> 02:12:14,720
Speaker 2: We'll get into it next. Plus, I mean, there is

2703
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:19,920
Speaker 2: all kinds of hype and buzz surrounding a big week

2704
02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:24,600
Speaker 2: in college football. One of the true benchmarks for nearing

2705
02:12:24,640 --> 02:12:28,400

2715
02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:02,760
Speaker 2: is like my favorite time slot, Saturday mornings. I would

2716
02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:05,480
Speaker 2: always listen to the radio on Saturday mornings because I

2717
02:13:05,480 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 2: would get up before everyone, and I'm old.

2718
02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Enough to be pre sports radio people.

2719
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 2: But as I got into my professional career and I

2720
02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:15,120
Speaker 2: had kids, I would always be.

2721
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:17,760
Speaker 1: Listening on Saturday mornings when I get it, when I'm.

2722
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:21,080
Speaker 2: Finally in the non football seasons, whenever i'm up early, Kfig,

2723
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:23,560

02:15:07,520 --> 02:15:13,120
Speaker 2: nine days away. You have signing days, you have spring football,

2755
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:20,200
Speaker 2: you have portal windows. But this week starts conference media days.

2756
02:15:20,320 --> 02:15:23,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here we go, here we go. This week

2757
02:15:23,080 --> 02:15:24,120
Speaker 1: is Big twelve.

2758
02:15:24,400 --> 02:15:27,200
Speaker 2: Next week in Nashville is the sec Now to be

2759
02:15:27,240 --> 02:15:29,480
Speaker 2: honest with someone who's attended a lot of media days,

2760
02:15:29,880 --> 02:15:36,120
Speaker 2: they're always fun, they are always informative, but yeah, you

2761
02:15:36,160 --> 02:15:40,200
Speaker 2: gotta decide what information you're really buying because everyone feels

2762
02:15:40,200 --> 02:15:42,480
Speaker 2: good about where they are, Kevin, and no one is

2763
02:15:42,520 --> 02:15:44,520
Speaker 2: really overly concerned about anything right now.

2764
02:15:44,600 --> 02:15:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, a coach and a player has never come to

2765
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:48,600
Speaker 3: media day and said, you know what, well, we're probably

2766
02:15:48,640 --> 02:15:50,680
Speaker 3: only gonna win four games this year, but hopefully we

2767
02:15:50,720 --> 02:15:51,560
Speaker 3: get some young guys in.

2768
02:15:51,520 --> 02:15:54,040
Speaker 1: There and see what happens. That's rarely ever.

2769
02:15:53,960 --> 02:15:57,880
Speaker 2: The case, And we know what happens when you say

2770
02:15:57,920 --> 02:16:02,480
Speaker 2: you're concerned about something. Look what we've done this last

2771
02:16:02,640 --> 02:16:08,360
Speaker 2: two weeks with Stefan Diggs, Josh Allen's Sean McDermott conversation.

2772
02:16:08,640 --> 02:16:12,280
Speaker 2: So you gotta be careful because even though it checks

2773
02:16:12,280 --> 02:16:15,040
Speaker 2: a box in getting closer to the season and you're like, oh,

2774
02:16:15,040 --> 02:16:18,760
Speaker 2: here we go, there's still plenty of time for your

2775
02:16:18,800 --> 02:16:21,240
Speaker 2: fans to freak out and lose their minds over things.

2776
02:16:21,320 --> 02:16:24,760
Speaker 2: So you gotta proceed with caution. But you get the

2777
02:16:24,800 --> 02:16:28,080
Speaker 2: Big twelve this week and the SEC next week. PAC

2778
02:16:28,120 --> 02:16:29,240
Speaker 2: twelve's right around the corner.

2779
02:16:29,320 --> 02:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Sure, is do you go to media days that offense?

2780
02:16:31,640 --> 02:16:33,360
Speaker 3: I have not been to Pack twelve media day. It's

2781
02:16:33,360 --> 02:16:35,520
Speaker 3: probably been about three years now since the last time

2782
02:16:35,560 --> 02:16:37,240
Speaker 3: I went. So I used to go regularly.

2783
02:16:37,320 --> 02:16:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it used to be see I'm local radio whenever

2784
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:45,760
Speaker 2: I would go, and literally you're just scanning there, begging

2785
02:16:46,440 --> 02:16:51,199
Speaker 2: media relations directors or communications directors or sports information directors

2786
02:16:51,280 --> 02:16:52,760
Speaker 2: or coaches like hey, can I get this guy on

2787
02:16:52,760 --> 02:16:54,800
Speaker 2: my show? I'm right right here, gonna come on my show.

2788
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:58,680
Speaker 2: But now it's a little bit more more streamlined. I

2789
02:16:58,720 --> 02:17:01,879
Speaker 2: love media days, but media days, Kevin usually end up

2790
02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:04,640
Speaker 2: becoming more about like the party around.

2791
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:07,600
Speaker 1: It's like, oh so and so it was faded last night.

2792
02:17:08,400 --> 02:17:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I will say the media is that

2793
02:17:10,600 --> 02:17:12,800
Speaker 3: the food spread is usually pretty decent too.

2794
02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:14,640
Speaker 1: It is it is.

2795
02:17:14,800 --> 02:17:16,680
Speaker 2: There hasn't been a media day that I came away

2796
02:17:16,680 --> 02:17:19,280
Speaker 2: from and I didn't add at least two or three pounds.

2797
02:17:19,320 --> 02:17:21,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So that is a checklist.

2798
02:17:21,480 --> 02:17:28,640
Speaker 2: And today, much like last Saturday, is not the most hopin'

2799
02:17:28,760 --> 02:17:32,400
Speaker 2: day as far as sports on TV are concerned. Out

2800
