I turned the radio one 15 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: during the week, I hear counting the day's fanfl three 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: weeks for the first game. 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: Why. 18 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: It's a stupid question, but I'll ask you was You know, 19 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty stupid. Why is everybody get so excited for 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: the NFL? I'm thinking maybe because fantasy football and gambling. 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean, really, I have a reason. But I want 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: to hear why are you telling me all these talk 23 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: show holds? 24 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: Oh? 25 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: I can't wait and then when the season goes on 26 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: after the third week, they're bored. They're bored out of 27 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: their guard. They really are telling me, I don't get it. 28 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: I think it's the greatest sport. 29 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 4: I think it captivates fan interest because you've seen so 30 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 4: many worse the first stories, everybody feels like their team 31 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: has a chance to immediately turn it around, no matter 32 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 4: how bad it was this previous season. They feel like, 33 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 4: I have opportunity to go back to the super Bowl. 34 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 4: And so it creates an unbelievable and sexual desire to 35 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 4: want to watch the game. And then when you factor 36 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 4: in fantasy football and gambling and all of those things, 37 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 4: I think it's the easiest sport to participate in those venues. 38 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 4: You know, from a fantasy football perspective, it's just easier 39 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: than baseball and basketball in terms of trying to keep 40 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 4: up with You have seventeen games, so you can do that, 41 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 4: and then the gabbling aspect, you know, prop bets and 42 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 4: all of the other things, like it is a game 43 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 4: that is made to bring the casuals in. 44 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: That's there's so much interest in the sport. 45 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: Okay, And you answered the question for the sake of 46 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: the fans, the masses, okay, which I always think the 47 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: masses are asses anyway, But that's for the masses, the 48 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: big people out there. 49 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: The fans. 50 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: And that's a great answer, okay, my answer here. As 51 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: far as people behind the microphones who do talk show 52 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: hosts and things like that, sports guys, they can't wait 53 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: because it's easy. You know, you have all these topics 54 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: on the silver plot for you. That's basically what is. 55 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: The storylines are ridiculous. It's like a soap opera. And 56 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: right now, when I'm not going to say the sports 57 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: world is a little slow, I don't think it's slow, 58 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: but there's nothing really captivating. You know, it's WNBA season 59 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: now when you think about it, that's basically what it is. 60 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: Baseball. Maybe it's just too long. 61 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 5: You know. 62 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: Football obviously is meaningful, more meaningful because every game means 63 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: so much. But as far as the people who broadcast 64 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and do these kind of shows, you've got to be 65 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: a little more creative. I think that you and I 66 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: are on Sundays, we really are. But other than that, 67 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: I turn the ready. I want to hear people talking 68 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: about their personal lives, which I don't really care about. 69 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: I really don't. I just don't care, you know, where 70 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: they go. Shoot, not being on the radio. I want 71 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: to be entertained, you know, and they talk sports. But 72 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: that's another story for another day. 73 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: Now. 74 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk about my guy, all right, the 75 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: strange case of my guy, Jake. And I'm not talking 76 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: about Jake from State Farm. I've talked about Jake did 77 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: Jew from BYU. All right, that's the guy, Jake red Sluff. 78 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: What's going on with him? I mean, he's gonna withdraw 79 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: from BYU quarterback. He had the hell of a year, 80 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, say what you want about it, but he 81 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: threw for almost three thousand yards twenty touchdowns. He's gonna 82 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: leave because there was a suspension because he was accused 83 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: in a lawsuit of raping a woman back in twenty 84 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: forty three, and it was dismissed and the parties jointly 85 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: agreed to dismith with the prejudice. But red Sluff's responds 86 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: said that he's gonna leave the BYU because he broke 87 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: the school on the code of no premarital sex. All right, 88 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: I get it. This school's got the article. But come on, 89 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: and they're gona suspend him for seven games. I mean 90 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: there are kids that do worse, worse in schools that 91 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: don't get suspend it at all. You know, the dui 92 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: is the speeding, the things like that. What and it 93 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: said it was consensual. I don't care if I mean 94 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I get b YU. Maybe it's to a higher standard. 95 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: Is that it? But you know what, who play on 96 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: a bigger stage now because he's gonna transform to another school. 97 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you gotta understand, b what you know how 98 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: to code is everything. And so when they make the 99 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 4: you know, the violation of the premarital sex thing is 100 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: as serious as any other egregious transgressions that you have 101 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: on that campus to any other campus. 102 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: And they treated seriously. 103 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 5: Uh. 104 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: You have to remember religious based school. They adhere to 105 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 4: the you know, the Book of Mormon and those things. 106 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: And so. 107 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: Look, the Latter Day says do not play around when 108 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: it comes to that. And this is not the first 109 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: incident that we've seen with b by you involved in 110 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: one of their star players. Years ago, they had one 111 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 4: of the best basketball teams in the country and right 112 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: before the NCAA tournament, Uh, they had to kick a 113 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 4: player to send suspend a player for a similar violation 114 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: like this, is what they stand on, and when you 115 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: signed to go. 116 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 3: There, you know what it is. You know what those 117 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: rules are. 118 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 4: You understand the ethics and all the other stuff that 119 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: they expect you to abye by. And when you violate them, 120 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter who you are, what your status is 121 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 4: in the program. You are going to serve a punishment 122 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 4: and these are the consequences that come with those actions. 123 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: You're telling me that Jim McMahon didn't have problems when 124 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: he went to BYU. I mean, come on, really, think 125 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: I was a wild child. 126 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 4: He was a wild child, and even back in the 127 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: eighties they had some issues and they talked about that, 128 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: like he was certainly wild when it came to it, 129 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: and he found a way to maybe get away with 130 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: some things that maybe he was doing. But I'm just 131 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: telling you as a scout who has been through there 132 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 4: on an annual basis multiple times throughout the year, like 133 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: they stick to that, and it would sometimes you would 134 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: ask coaches like, well, how do you all attract certain kids? 135 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 4: How you're getting kids from LA and those things, and 136 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: the appeal there is one campus is beautiful to back 137 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 4: in the day and continue to be now, Like they 138 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 4: have a really good football program. And back then when 139 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: I was going through early two thousands or whatever, it 140 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: was about the passing game. 141 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: Now Sataki has done a great job. 142 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 4: Colina Sataki, the head coach, has done a great job 143 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: of building it into a rough, physical football team. And 144 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 4: they went a lot and so you have that. Their 145 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 4: alumni based stretches from C to CEA and they do 146 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: a really good job of taking care of their players afterwards. 147 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 4: But you have to understand what they're about, and they 148 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: don't flinch when it comes to that. 149 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: This is what they're about. This is what they've been 150 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: built on. 151 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 4: No different than Liberty University in Virginia when it comes 152 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: to evangelical and that part of the religion. Whatever similar value, 153 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: similar things, they don't bend all those things. 154 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: Well, I will say this first of all. You know 155 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: you said about bringing them young. That's the school that 156 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: really has stayed the course through the years. I remember 157 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: when Leavelle Edwards was the football coach there. They always won. 158 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: They were always Okay, that's number one. Number two, you 159 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: forgot one religious school that I happened to work at, 160 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: and that was WARL. Roberts University. I was there for 161 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: two years and they had that had some codes. I mean, 162 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: I know we had to go to Chapel Services twice 163 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: a week and may he rest in peace to good 164 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: Reverend Or Roberts called me in his office and when 165 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: he hired because I had no idea I knew we 166 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: were on TV. When they hired me, they flew me 167 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: out there and I said, hey, got a great basketball team. 168 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: I want to work there. 169 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: And I did. 170 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: And he said, if you feel uncomfortable going to chapel 171 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Services on Wednesday and Fridays, you know, you don't have 172 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: to go. But I went. You know, it's just something 173 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to learn about. I went eleven to twelve 174 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: every Wednesday and Friday. The school shut down. You couldn't 175 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: turn the light on all the electricity was gone. So 176 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and they had interesting guests and I never knew what 177 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: it was like to see them talking in tongues and 178 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: they brought snakes and sometimes it was it was interesting. 179 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to see what it was like. And they 180 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: had they did have some rules. I mean, there was 181 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: no public display of affection. You know, you couldn't do that, 182 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: and there's no alcohol, things like that. But you know, 183 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: I don't think maybe I'm wrong. I don't think it 184 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: was enforced as heavily as today, because today, you know, 185 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: everywhere you go, everybody's got a phone and they picture, 186 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: and there's a camera and you could kind of, you know, 187 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: get busted on it, and you couldn't get busted back 188 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: in the day. And I'll tell you his story. That's 189 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: a true story. I didn't know about that. They didn't 190 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: really enforce it too heavily when they hired me because 191 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: I was the first and only Jew ever to work there. 192 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: And I went out one night. I was single, I 193 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: was young. I went out to one of the clubs 194 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: in Tulsa, and guess why. I bump into one of 195 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: the assistant basketball coaches. He comes over to me and 196 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: he says, do me a favorite. Don't tell anybody assume 197 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: me here. I said, what are you talking about? He says, 198 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: we're not supposed to be here, right. But we became 199 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: good budgs after that. We used to go out. But 200 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I mean, as a matter of fact, 201 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, I was a sports information guy over there 202 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: at or Roberts and I went out and we had 203 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: like these basketball calendars and they showed when the games 204 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: were I went to like every bar in Toulson put 205 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: those calendars in there. I didn't know that, you know, 206 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: they were very lenient to me. I think, I think 207 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: that I never really got in trouble at all Roberts. 208 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: But there were there were some rules, and I remember 209 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: there were some rules that were enforced that there was 210 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: a weight clause. I mean really and true. They yes, 211 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: they dismissed people from the school who were overweight. I mean, 212 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: really and truly. 213 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 6: It was. 214 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: It was crazy. 215 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't even know if you can get away with 216 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: that now, But back when I was there, you know, 217 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: if you were heavy, you know, they gave you a 218 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: warning and you had to go to the track, to 219 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: the indo a facility. It was. It was a different situation. 220 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say a good, better and different, 221 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: but it was just different. 222 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: I get that. 223 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: But I was really shocked with this red slast thing. 224 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: Because he was so good. Sometimes he maybe break the 225 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: rules to keep a player like that. 226 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, no, you don't do that. 227 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: Now, that's kind of like the program building one on one. 228 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: No one's bigger than the team, and you don't you 229 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 4: don't do that, like you don't change your rules or 230 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: started doing different things based on the talent of the player, 231 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 4: the level of the star player, because then what you 232 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 4: have is you don't have a culture that is really 233 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 4: about anything like it's a fly by night thing. I 234 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: actually can appreciate that by you stand and so firm 235 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 4: when it comes to their beliefs and their rules and 236 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: protocols and those things. And look, if you're gonna talk 237 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 4: about like we believe in X, Y and Z, and 238 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: then the first time you're a star player violates that, 239 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 4: you don't give them consequences, then what are you really about? 240 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 4: And so when you signed there, everyone knows you're gonna 241 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 4: do it. And what's gonna be interesting the basketball player? 242 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 4: They have the number one recruit in the country. His 243 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 4: name escapes me is DJ that is my or something 244 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 4: like number one. They paid him eight point two million 245 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 4: dollars to come. He's gonna be a one and done. 246 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 4: But it was a big deal for them to get him. 247 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: And how is he going to it here and comply 248 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 4: with the rules. 249 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: That is the biggest. 250 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 4: Challenge because to my knowledge, he's not l Ees, he's 251 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 4: not a part of the Latter Day SAIS community, So 252 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: how is this going to work for him? Does he 253 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: have enough discipline to focus and lock in for a 254 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 4: year to take the money play at a high level 255 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: because they're running a pro style team to operate in 256 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 4: like a pro team. Can't he handle it? Is he 257 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 4: disciplined enough to do it? That's the meaning O A question? 258 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: Interesting? 259 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: You know, I want to I want to get a 260 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: little heavier, you know, pull a curtain back just a 261 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: little bit here, because you have someone who was not 262 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: a member of that faith or belief attending a school there, 263 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: and I wonder how that works out? 264 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: Is it healthy? 265 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: Is it good to say a Jew going to BYU 266 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: kind of offbeat? I remember watching him on TV where 267 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: that star at David around his neck, and I think 268 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: the kids loved him on the team. But you know, 269 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: sometimes you just feel you don't fit in. What is 270 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: it like having a white guy attending an HBCU school 271 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a historically black college or uniform? I mean, is it healthy? 272 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: Is it good? I'll give you an example. 273 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean. 274 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: I love Willis Reed. 275 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: May he rest in peace, because I did some work 276 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: with the Nicks when I was back there and Willis 277 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: was my guy. 278 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: I loved that. 279 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: And he went to Grambling and I applied for the 280 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: job and grambling the sports information back in the day, 281 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: and you know, I obviously didn't get it, but you know, 282 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering what I have fit in there. Is 283 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: it okay to be kind of different in a sense 284 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: in the school that is going in a different direction. 285 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I think it is. 286 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 4: If you actually look at hpc US baseball teams are 287 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: heavily populated with white and Latino players. 288 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: You know the difference. Here's here's what I'll say. 289 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 4: I would say maybe there's even more tolerance at hpcu's 290 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 4: than pwis when it comes to integration and minority like whatever, 291 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 4: the minority is, minority participation in those things. 292 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 3: I don't see it as an issue. 293 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: And as someone who does a lot with HBCUs when 294 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 4: it comes to covering UH football football games and All 295 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 4: Star games in those things, I've never seen it as 296 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: a problem. I've never seen it as an issue because 297 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: we even had white players show up in those games 298 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: and it's never been an issue. 299 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: So I don't think it's that. 300 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: And I think a lot of times, like on both sides, 301 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 4: like in terms of like the stigma that comes along 302 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 4: with it, I don't think it really exists. I think 303 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: in those things you can be whoever you want to be. 304 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 4: We've seen white coaches at HBCUs. We've seen I haven't 305 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 4: seen sports information director or athletic director, but for the 306 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 4: longest time, I think Charles Oakley played at Virginian Union 307 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 4: and they had a white coach for a long time 308 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 4: in basketball, and you've seen others. So I don't really 309 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 4: think it's as much of an issue as you would 310 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 4: maybe anticipate it would be at an HBCU. 311 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear. I had no idea. 312 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: I was just a good question I was going to 313 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: ask about are there white coaches at HBCU schools. I 314 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: didn't even know that there were, to be honest, I. 315 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 3: Didn't know that. 316 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, they absolutely are, Like absolutely, It's always been a 317 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 4: place of tolerance and being a acceptance in those things. 318 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: So it's never been an issue to my mind. In fact, 319 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 4: we've seen it. We've seen it play out. Hampton has 320 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 4: had white coaches in basketball before, so it's it's not 321 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: it's not been an issue. It's it's something that is uncommon, 322 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: but it has happened, and it's happened without it. 323 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: And I don't mean to bring this topic up because 324 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with it being a racist 325 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: individual and has something to do with, you know, staying 326 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: within your own skin. If you know what I'm saying. 327 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean you you're you're an athlete and you know 328 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: what it's like and when you played football, and I'm 329 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: sure this is true, and I've seen it traveling with 330 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: sports teams more often than not. In the locker room, 331 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: everybody's wanted its family. 332 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: They're friendly. 333 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: But when the game is over, when they go out 334 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: to eat, you know, usually the blacks go out with 335 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: their group and the white squall with their group. And 336 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: that's basically it, right, isn't that the way it goes? 337 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: Uh, there's a natural uh segregation. It's a competent that exists, 338 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 4: that exists within the things. So for instance, you know, 339 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 4: the dbs will go with the dbs and sometimes in 340 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 4: their room most of the dbs are black. 341 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: Well, i mean, let's be honest, like when we were. 342 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 4: Talking about football in specifics, football is seventy percent black minority. 343 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: So when you go into a locker room and it's. 344 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: Going to be a different faction of folks anyways, and 345 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: when you would separate it, a lot of times and 346 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 4: not being stereotypical like you would have the offensive alignment 347 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 4: which may be mostly white, or the quarterback rooms to 348 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 4: those things, and sometimes people hang with who they know 349 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 4: where they're at in those things, and that is not 350 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 4: I'll call racist or racism or whatever. There is a 351 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 4: certain comfort level or demographic and it's blended, right, So 352 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: it's not just hey, I got along with the guys 353 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 4: that look like me, but I'm also with the guys 354 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 4: that played my saying position and all of those things. 355 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 4: But I will say, and what's different because the locker 356 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: room is really interesting because the locker room was always 357 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 4: a place where everybody could coexist and get along, regardless 358 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 4: of the political belief, regardless of sexual orientation, regardless of 359 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 4: any things that would be the differences between us on 360 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 4: a team in that locker room, note of it really mattered. 361 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: It never really mattered, and you were able to have 362 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 4: conversations and debates and those things and play as a 363 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 4: team and treat that teammate like a brother. 364 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: It's so different. 365 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: Now outside of the locker room walls, but inside those 366 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 4: locker room walls, those issues never really became a factor, 367 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 4: you know. 368 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: And it's a funny situation because the average Joe on 369 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: the street, he looks at athletes, maybe he looks down 370 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: upon them, white or black, saying that they're spoiled the 371 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: money that they make. I mean things like that. But again, 372 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: within that locker room, within the locker room walls, they 373 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: do get along so much better than people outside the 374 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: locker room walls. 375 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: Think about that. I mean, that's what it's all about. 376 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: You just don't. 377 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: You may have quarrels, you may have arguments regarding the game, 378 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: regarding the game, and Selvie would have been there. 379 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you should have caught that pass. You you 380 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: run a wrong route, whatever it may be. 381 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: But it's still more of a family inside that locker 382 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: room than the world we live in today when there's 383 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: so much hatred. And I don't want to start getting into 384 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: politics like that, but sports really is the is. 385 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: The model, sports should be the model. 386 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 4: Well, I would say the difference is even when you 387 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 4: do have differences, right, and you do have debates, because 388 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 4: we've seen teams have internal squabbles based on like political things, right, 389 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 4: like years ago, Malcolm Jenkins and Drew Brees and that 390 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: team had to be kind of like they had to 391 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 4: kind of have a healthy debate based on some stuff 392 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 4: that either Drew Brees said or intimated in those things. 393 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 4: But what happens normally in the locker room, you police 394 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 4: yourself or you're able to have those debates and eventually 395 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 4: squash it. But it doesn't mean that they never have 396 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: like those hard conversations or it doesn't get tense or 397 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 4: testy in the locker room, but it does mean that 398 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 4: you have enough maturity to move beyond it. And so 399 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 4: in the locker room you have that ability to debate, discuss, 400 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 4: and then move on. Or sometimes where we're currently at, 401 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 4: you really don't have that because you don't have a 402 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 4: willing and listening ear. You're not listening to the other side, 403 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 4: You're not listening to the conversation and debate, and then 404 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 4: you don't have the maturity to move beyond it and 405 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 4: move forward. 406 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: I'm with you right there. 407 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: It's really well set and it's beautiful, and I think 408 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: that people should just take a hard look not just 409 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: at the game itself, but the people that play the 410 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: game and how they interact. 411 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: You know, and I would. 412 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: Told this by various players that you look at the 413 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: offensive line on a football team, it's like a chain 414 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: link fence. They come in and they intertwine one another 415 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: and like if one goes down, the whole line goes down. 416 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: That's the way it is. And that's the beauty of 417 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: sport and the beauty of football. And I think the 418 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: beauty of the friendship that is puts together with sports 419 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: and teams. That's I love that, you really do. They 420 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: may hate each other, but when the game is on, 421 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, they know what they gotta do. They got 422 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: a job to do, and they got to do it together. 423 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. It's beautiful. 424 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 4: That is that is that is what it's all about. 425 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: And that is the great thing about sports. And it's 426 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 4: always been the great thing about sports. 427 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: And that's the great thing about you.

I think maybe most of 475 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: the people who follow the sport that can name probably 476 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: the top twelve teams before the season starts. You know, 477 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: I ask you this, is that a good thing? I'm 478 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: not so certain that's a good thing, because you want 479 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,239 Speaker 1: to see a little bit of a mix up. And 480 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: I'll ask you a part two of that question, why 481 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: can you name the top twelve teams. I know why 482 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: because those are the teams that have all the money 483 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: and they're paying these players to come there. That's how 484 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: you know Ohio State's going to be there. They paid 485 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: fifty mil for their team last year, right. 486 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I mean it definitely is a game 487 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 4: that is moving towards. 488 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: But it's always been the haves and the have nots. 489 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 4: We just know above board what people are paying to 490 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 4: secure the players and the talent and those things. But 491 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 4: it has always been this and you've always been able 492 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 4: to know that if you follow the brand names, the 493 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 4: brand names more than likely are going to be in 494 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: the postseason tournament. I'm not surprised. I'm not even discouraged 495 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 4: by that. Like, I'm okay with all of that, because 496 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 4: the one thing that we do know is in the 497 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 4: preseason you can't really predict what is going to happen 498 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 4: out over the course of the record season. Remember, last year, 499 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 4: Florida State was a top ten pick. Florida State had 500 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: spent a lot of money dug into transfer portal and 501 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: they were absolutely terrible. Texas A and M a few years 502 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 4: ago has spent more money than anybody else when it 503 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 4: came to the recruiting class couldn't get off the ground 504 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 4: and going. 505 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 3: So just because you. 506 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 4: Spend a lot of money doesn't mean that it's going 507 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 4: to work out in your favor. But I'd suggest, better 508 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 4: the talent, the better the team. 509 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: Can I make a decision here the fact that if 510 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: I could pick the top ten top twelve teams because 511 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: of the money that they spend, and these are the 512 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: same ten twelve teams that baby were there before NIL, 513 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: can I say that those are the same ten twelve 514 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: teams that were probably paying under the table take at 515 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: their players. 516 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 3: Is that a reason? Yes, yes, you can. 517 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 4: You can't say that we can't intimate and insinuate that 518 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 4: that might be a practice that was going on before 519 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 4: it became legalized. But nothing has changed. You just know, 520 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 4: everyone just knows what it is. 521 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: Right. 522 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: But Deon Sanders during the Big twelve media days, he 523 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: was in pretty vocal about his views on the current 524 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: state of NIL name image and like this obviously in 525 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: college football, and he wants a salary cap similar to 526 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. He believes obviously the current system creates and 527 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: on even playing field, with some schools obviously kind of 528 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: over significantly more money to players than others, leading to 529 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: a situation he says, where the teams with the most 530 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: financial resources. 531 00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: Dominate the sport. 532 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: I agree, And he says that disparity makes it difficult 533 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: for programs without big nil resources to compete for top talent. 534 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: First of all, I agree. 535 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: Secondly, why is Dion the only one speaking out like that? 536 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you've. 537 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 4: Heard other coaches and stuff talk about it, you know, 538 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 4: talk about the craziness in terms of the money and 539 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 4: those things pay for play in il portal. Just the 540 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 4: current state of college football is a little wacky, but 541 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 4: you have to adapt and adjusts. And it's a fine 542 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: line because as coaches, they're leaders of young men, whether 543 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 4: young men are the beneficiaries of the new system so 544 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 4: to get paid, So you want to say that you 545 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 4: support your players while also pointing out the system is 546 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 4: crazy and it makes it hard for me to do 547 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 4: my job as a coach. 548 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 3: I get paid a lot of money. 549 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 4: So there's some hypocrisy there when they're speaking about the 550 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 4: amount of money that's going because coaches and everyone else 551 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: has benefited from a loan for a long time on 552 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: the labor of those in between the lines, and at 553 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: some point it had to level up and even out, 554 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: and now we in the correction phase. This is a 555 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 4: market correction where the players have a lot of power. 556 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 4: The players are using their power commanding big checks. At 557 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 4: some point it'll level out and there would be more 558 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 4: a quality when it comes to the pay scale and 559 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: some of those things. 560 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 3: Interesting. 561 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: We'll see about that. Texas Tech the other day. Than 562 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: they pay five million dollars for a football player. I mean, 563 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. It's more amazing to me, not 564 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: the money that they're getting. That there are people out there. 565 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say foolish, because I think they are, 566 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: but maybe they don't that they would give money to 567 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: a potential kid who may stay there for a year. 568 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't like it doesn't like the coach, or the 569 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: coach leaves and he wants to leave too. 570 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 2: I just don't. 571 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: Understand why you would write a check to get a 572 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: played to come to that school unless you're a tremendous 573 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: alum you love your school. I don't get it. I 574 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: really don't. Saint John's has one. That's why Rick Patino 575 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: was doing so well in basketball and Saint John's he's 576 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: got a guy that opens up his checkbook. That's all 577 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: you need. You can't. Recruiting is nothing. Now the coach 578 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: has to recruit a money guy, not recruit players. You 579 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: got to recruit a money guy. That's what the kids want. 580 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure when you go to a kid's house or school, 581 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: talk to a kids mom and dad. They they don't say, 582 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: am I gonna start? Or we're gonna be on TV? 583 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: What conference are in? 584 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 5: No? 585 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: How much am I going to get? That's what they 586 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: want to know. 587 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is what they want to know. They want 588 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 4: to know how much money they're gonna get. That's part 589 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 4: of the plan and the process. And uh, it's different, 590 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. It's a much different deal 591 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 4: when it comes to it. But you got to adapt 592 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 4: and adjust, and the good ones are able to adapt. 593 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 4: They make the adjustments based on the landscape. And look, 594 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 4: if you want to compete at the highest level, you 595 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 4: know what you're getting into. And once you get into it, 596 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 4: you got to play by the rules that are there. 597 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 4: And so either you're in or you're out when it 598 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 4: comes to paying players. But if you're you're out, and 599 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 4: it's gonna be a hard you have a hard road 600 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 4: to hold when it comes to to being in the 601 00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 4: conversation as a playoff team. 602 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: Okay, they're paying the players, and Dion says, this should 603 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: be a cat. That's number one. 604 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 3: Number two. 605 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: We know the schools with the most money are probably 606 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: going to be more successful. But as of July one, 607 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: college athletes are being paid directly by the universities which 608 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: they play. But it doesn't mean that the schools are 609 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: divulging the payments on record, which is crazy because if 610 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: you want to have a salary cap, you won't know 611 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: how much these schools are paying. And I just looked 612 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: this up. You mentioned that kid from BYU to basketball 613 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: player Ajd Bansa. He's going to get like five million 614 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: dollars before signing with BYU. Okay, But schools do not 615 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: publicly disclose the amounts of revenue sharing deals voluntarily, and 616 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: whether they will ever be compelled to do so is 617 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: unclear according to the records. So in other words, you 618 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: can have a limit of what like. 619 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: Dion wants to have a point of no return. 620 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: Really, but the schools don't have to announce how much 621 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: money they're paying, which is nuts. 622 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 9: Really it is, Nettie. 623 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 4: But here's what I will say about the revenue sharing. 624 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 4: The reason why you can't have like the level playing 625 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 4: field because everyone's not bringing in the same revenue. Right, 626 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 4: Big ten and SEC schools are making more money than 627 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 4: say you're a conference your essays or you're Mountain West, 628 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: so it's hard to. 629 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: Balance it out. 630 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 4: Now, if you want to make it competitive, the salary 631 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 4: cap would make it competitive because you could tell everybody 632 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 4: you only can spend up to X amount, and even 633 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 4: those teams that couldn't get up to X amount, it 634 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 4: would limit the surplus that some of the Ohio states 635 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 4: would have. So rather than being able to load up 636 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 4: and hoard all the five stars because they're overpaying those 637 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 4: guys who may not even be starters for them, well 638 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 4: some of them would have to go elsewhere, and that 639 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 4: would level the playing field a little bit. But honestly, 640 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 4: without regulation, and right now in college football you don't 641 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 4: have any regulation, right, the NCAA has been neutered, like 642 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 4: the course of taking a lot of their power, almost 643 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 4: all their power away. 644 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 3: You don't have a commititioner. 645 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 4: You just have I will say, a bunch of renegades 646 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 4: and mercenaries in terms of commissioners and presidents trying to 647 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 4: make these things but you don't have the Grand Pooba 648 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 4: who can decide on it. 649 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: That's where it is. 650 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 4: So when we talk about the state of college football, 651 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 4: it starts from a leadership standpoint. You got to annoint 652 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: a leader. Then you got to set the structure for 653 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 4: how you want this to look like. You got the 654 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 4: power for and others. How are we going to do it? 655 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 4: Are we going to leave the others out of the 656 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 4: party and let them create their own playoffs because they're 657 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 4: playing on a different landscape, because they don't have the 658 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 4: money to play with the big boys. I mean, there's 659 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 4: so many different things that should be at play, and 660 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 4: hopefully at some point will make those decisions because every 661 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 4: school can't operate successfully under to pay for pay for 662 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 4: play model. 663 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. And you know, there's a 664 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: couple of case studies over here. I looked at Alabama. 665 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: They respelled it to a request that their quarterback Ty 666 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: Simpson and a wide receiver by the name of Ryan Williams. 667 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: People went to their contracts and they came back on 668 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: this quote. There are no public documents responsive to your 669 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: open records request. All right, this is amazing. Other schools 670 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: have different justifications Clemson. Clemson denied a request made by 671 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: the newspaper The Post, and Curry is stating that the 672 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: agreements are proprietary and that releasing them will put the 673 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: Tigers at a competitive disadvantage. So, in other words, they 674 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: know they obviously, but they don't want to release it 675 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: for fear of like you know in Ohio, States says, well, look, 676 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: Clemson's paying this guy this much. We're paying here. It's 677 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: not good and it's got to change. I just you know, 678 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how they can continue this. 679 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: I just don't know. 680 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a different deal. 681 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 4: But without a commissioner, without a collective bargaining agreement, without 682 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 4: those things, you can't put certain practices into place. You 683 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 4: can't put a salary kept in the place until you 684 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 4: negotiate those things. 685 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 3: And you have to negotiate with the players. 686 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 4: And the thing that college forts have always shun or 687 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 4: shot away from was treating players like an equal partner 688 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 4: in the league. 689 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 3: The reason why you have. 690 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 4: To deal with MLB's union, the reason why you have 691 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 4: to deal with the NFLPA when it comes to football, 692 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 4: is because you recognize that those are your employees. Because 693 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 4: of the model or hiding behind the amateurism model for 694 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 4: so long, where they kept players as amateurs but everyone 695 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 4: else or treated like professionals because they made money like pros. 696 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 4: You have this thing, and it's the facade that is 697 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 4: kind of caught up with the NCAA and college football. 698 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 4: Now you have to make We're coming to a crossroads 699 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 4: where you have to make a decision. 700 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 3: Are they students student athletes? Are they employees? 701 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 4: Because once you get that, and once you convince everybody, hey, 702 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 4: these are employees, Well, now you've got to have a union. 703 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 4: You have to have these conversations and negotiate these deals, and. 704 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 3: Then we can level out. 705 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 4: The playing field when it comes to some of the 706 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 4: asks that Deion Sanders and other coaches have had. 707 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: So the bottom line is is that colleges are withholding 708 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: the revenue sharing contract deals of their athletes because they 709 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: come back and say athletes are not employees, that in fact, 710 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: will keep the deals private. 711 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 2: That's what they're doing right now. 712 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're keeping the deals private because if you find 713 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 4: out that Clemson is paying a cornerback six hundred thousand, 714 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 4: it's easy for a how you State of Alabama say hey, 715 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 4: we'll pay you nine hundred You know like, and so 716 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 4: it either has to be full disclosure all across the 717 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 4: board or what we have now is nondisclosure and everyone 718 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 4: is having the guests and speculating on what you're making. 719 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: Okay, so what happens. 720 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: Let's go back to your Brigham Young gu kid, they're 721 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: gonna get five million dollars to say, he goes to 722 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: Brigham Young and he doesn't like it over there and 723 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: he wants to go.

But Buck, I ask you, do NFL players 805 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: have danger clauses like no skiing or no skydiving or 806 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: even roller skating in the off season. 807 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 3: Yes, they have all of those things. 808 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 4: And you know, one of the things that is disappointed 809 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 4: about nase situation, and hopefully it's not serious, is years 810 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 4: ago we saw the thing with Jason Pierre Paul and 811 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 4: every team before they break at the end of camp, 812 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 4: they tell guys they be smart, be careful, fourth of July, 813 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,439 Speaker 4: make sure you're doing the right stuff. And unfortunately, man 814 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 4: too often we're hearing about these incidents with fireworks and 815 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 4: silly stuff right before we're about to return to camp. 816 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 4: Is one of the reasons why I don't like the 817 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 4: way the calendar is set, where NFL teams lose supervision 818 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 4: of their players for six weeks before they come back 819 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 4: to camp. 820 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense to. 821 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: Me leave the fireworks for the professionals. Really, that's what 822 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: it's all about. I love fireworks, but dho, no, Betty, 823 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: you know again not you didn't even know what happened, 824 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, Pierre Paul lost a couple of fingers. I mean, 825 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: come on, this is your life as your profession. Stop 826 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: it really all right? Next, I'm just curious about this. 827 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: Do NFL players call their coaches coach or that they 828 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: called them by their first name? 829 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: But I just wanted to know about that. 830 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 3: Uh, I think everyone calls them coach. It's not casual. 831 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: No, I don't know even if the players older than 832 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: the coach. 833 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, I still don't think we're at a first name basis. Like, 834 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 4: I think there's a level of respect that still has 835 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 4: to exist in those things. 836 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 3: And I know in some places in. 837 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 4: Schools like middle schools and the elements, they called the 838 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 4: teacher by the first name and instead of Miss Taylor's Susannah. No, 839 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 4: We're like, you need to have that proto call, and 840 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 4: coaches have to establish that right away. It doesn't have 841 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 4: to be a yes sir no sir situation, but it 842 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 4: certainly has to be a yes coach, no coach. 843 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 3: You know. 844 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: When I hear about that, that is, I think about 845 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: the late Bobby Knight when he grabbed that kid's arm 846 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: in blooming To when he was coaching Indiana and the 847 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: kid went by me, Hey Night, how you doing. It 848 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 1: wasn't miss denied, It wasn't high coach. You called hey 849 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: Night and Bobby allegedly when Nats he grabbed his arm 850 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: and that was the end of Bobby Knight. But you know, 851 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: you gotta have respect. That's what it's all about. Now 852 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: we move on the NFL injury factor. More practice, obviously, 853 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: I would think there be less injuries. So do we 854 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: need a longer preseason? You think that might help maybe 855 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: cut down the number. 856 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 3: Of injuries in the NFL or the NBA took me 857 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 3: in the NFL. 858 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: NFL, yeah, NFL. 859 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 4: I think the a few different things at play. You 860 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 4: don't have his nuts practice time united, But to do 861 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 4: what you used to do old school, you got to 862 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 4: get your body prepared for contact. And you know players 863 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 4: wanted more time off, more time away, But I would 864 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 4: say that that's not the greatest thing. The only way 865 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 4: that you can prepare for the sport is you got 866 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 4: to grind it out. You have to do it, and 867 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 4: they're training away from the facility. I think you actually 868 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 4: need more time with the supervision of professionals that are 869 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 4: devoted to the team to prepare the players. 870 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 3: That's where it's coming from. 871 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 4: You got too many breaks in the schedule, too many things, disruptions, 872 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 4: in the schedule where you're not able to get a 873 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 4: consistent rhythm and groove, just like I talked about with 874 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 4: the summer Huh. 875 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: All right, all coaches no matter what the sport, but 876 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: let's just say the basketball and football stick to that. 877 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: They all claim that they could change a team's culture. 878 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: How could they change the culture? And by the way, 879 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: what the hell is culture? 880 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 2: Anyway? 881 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 4: Culture is having a group of people to have shared 882 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 4: beliefs and a vision for how the team should operate, 883 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 4: and coaches can change it. But it's very, very difficult 884 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 4: and hard because you got to be consistent and you 885 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 4: got to manage the culture every day, meaning that you 886 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 4: can't let some things go harp on other things. If 887 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 4: you say this is what we believe in, this is 888 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 4: a core value, these are the rules, then you got 889 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 4: to enforce them each and every day and you can't 890 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 4: relent off of that. 891 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 3: That's the only way you get people. 892 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 4: To follow the vision and adhere to the protocol that 893 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 4: you want for your team to establish and play at 894 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 4: a high level. 895 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: Okay, let me run this by because the culture right 896 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 1: now with the Colorado Rockies is pretty damn bad. 897 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know if you use the 898 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 2: term culture. They stink. 899 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 1: They they're the worst team in baseball, so they're gonna 900 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: look for a manager. Obviously, the new guy comes in, 901 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: he thinks he could change things. How would you change 902 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: You got to get better players, right, That's what you 903 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: gotta do. That's the culture. 904 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 3: That's a part of the culture. You gotta have good players. 905 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 4: Like at the end of the day, man, my dad 906 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 4: just said, you can't win to Kentucky Derby with a 907 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 4: pack mule. You gotta have some throbberds to be able 908 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 4: to win. But you also got to have a shared. 909 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 3: Alignment and vision with the people at the top. 910 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 4: So from top to bottom, everyone has to believe in 911 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 4: the same stuff and every decision that you make has 912 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 4: to be in line with their vision. 913 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 3: There we go. 914 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 2: He's Bucket Brooks and Andy Firman. 915 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 1: By the way, Kobe call one quarterback the but Chris 916 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: thatnmore next right here on Fox he wants to be 917 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: left alone.

Yeah, I've heard 937 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 4: about the quarterback and I have strong opinions on quarterbacks 938 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 4: and how they feel. 939 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about that right now.

He got 942 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: Kurt Cousins, who is a bit of a geek. I mean, 943 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: I love him. I love the guy. I mean, and 944 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: he's a family man. I love the guy, kind of 945 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: like a little bit naive you know what the Atlanta 946 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: Falcon thing. He didn't realize they were going to draft 947 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback so high, but it seems to be. 948 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 2: Do you know Kirk Cousins at all? I think he's 949 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 2: a wonderful man. 950 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: I love him. 951 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 2: I mean I would, I would. 952 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 4: I mean I can't. Yeah, I don't know. I don't 953 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 4: know him well enough. I scouted him. I remember when 954 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 4: he was coming out of Michigan State and those things. 955 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 4: I know people that know him and talk highly about 956 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 4: who he is and his character in those things, but 957 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 4: I don't know him personally. And we used to say 958 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 4: there's similar representation his agents and stuff like that. 959 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I know him fairly well. I 960 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,479 Speaker 3: know of him fairly well. 961 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: I would be shocked, very shocked if a cusswork ever 962 00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: came out of his mouth. 963 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 2: Really, thats the kind of guy I think he is. 964 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: He gets his haircut at great clips, which I mean 965 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: these other guys have, like professional bobbers and things like that. 966 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: So he said one and after one of the games 967 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: he and his brother. His brother came to one of 968 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: the ball games in through a game when he was 969 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: the Falcons. 970 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 2: He went through a drive through. 971 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: He ordered a Burger and like, I think the girl 972 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: who took the order said how did the Falcons do today? 973 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: And he said they lost? And the girl said good 974 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: because I'm a New Orleans Saints fan. She didn't even 975 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: know who he was. 976 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 2: It was great. I mean, I just just a good guy. Okay. 977 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: You got Jared Goff, who basically kind kind of a 978 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, family guy, got a good looking wife and 979 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: a model. But you know, you like to see what 980 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: the guy has done because he thought he had a 981 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: raw deal being traded, you know, traded from La going 982 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: to Detroit and turned it around. And he's got a 983 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: coach in Detroit with the Lions who just loves him 984 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: to death. That's great. Then you got Joe Burrow. All right, 985 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: this guy, Joe Burrow thinks he's like the next Joe 986 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 1: Namath Okay, the second Coming. And I want to talk 987 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 1: about that for a second with you. Because he, as 988 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: you know, last year, his house is broken into lest December, 989 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: says he wants a private life. I get it. I mean, 990 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: I think it's very difficult for an athlete to have 991 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: a private life. So I asked, how come Kirk Cousins 992 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: has a private life. Jeff Goff to some extent has 993 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: a private life. But when you wear a backless suit 994 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: and you're in Vogue magazine and you're in Paris, You're 995 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: not going to have much of a private life really, right. 996 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: That's the difference with Joe Burrow and the other two. 997 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. 998 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I hear what you're saying in terms of that. 999 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 4: But like Joe Burrow is, he does have some of 1000 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 4: that modern day Joe Namath feel to him, like he's 1001 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 4: a man's man. 1002 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 3: He has a superstar. 1003 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 4: He has some swag to him that people gravitate towards 1004 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,839 Speaker 4: and really like it's a lot. But I can't say 1005 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 4: this just because I'm a star on the football field 1006 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 4: doesn't mean that I'm not entitled to privacy away from it. 1007 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 4: You know, I would like to have my private moments. 1008 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 4: I would like to be able to go through a 1009 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 4: certain part of life unbothered. Now, sometimes when you're like that, 1010 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 4: you have to pay for the privacy. Joe Burrow has 1011 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 4: to pay for it, give like with the way that 1012 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 4: he moves and where he like transportation in terms of 1013 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 4: like maybe has to five private if he doesn't want 1014 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 4: to be bothered at the airport, maybe has to stay 1015 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 4: at different hotels, higher end hotels that everyone can get to, 1016 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 4: because he doesn't want to be bothered in those things. 1017 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 4: But you know that privacy kind of can come with 1018 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 4: a cost. 1019 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 1: What is this deal now going into the locker and 1020 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: going into the ballpark, going into the stadium the day 1021 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: of the game, wearing these outfits. Right now, he has 1022 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: a guy that picks out his clothes, Joe Burrow. I 1023 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: don't think Kirk Cousins does. Kirk Cousins probably wears a 1024 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: hoodie to the game. Right Joe Burrow is wearing like 1025 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: these outfits with the shades and whatever. I'm not against it, 1026 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: but the point is when you do things like that. 1027 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: And they had a segment of a guy who basically 1028 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,919 Speaker 1: dresses him against his clothing, which I you know, I do. 1029 00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: Do many athletes have that. 1030 00:45:59,080 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1031 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: I haven't seen that before. And I thought, you they're 1032 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: supposed to talk about a private life. I think Michael 1033 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: Jordan to some extent had a private life, Kareem had 1034 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: a private life. I think Patrick Mahomes to some extent 1035 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: has somewhat of a private life. 1036 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 2: I really do. 1037 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 1: You can have one if you want one. 1038 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 4: You have to like you have to pay for it, 1039 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 4: and you have to know how to move around what 1040 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 4: you're talking about as it relates to clothe ers and 1041 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 4: tailors and those things. That's a part of the professional life, 1042 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 4: particularly these days now, but it's also it's always been 1043 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 4: a part of it. When I was a player, there 1044 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 4: would be everyone had a suit guy or gale that 1045 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 4: would come through. They would fit you up during training 1046 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 4: camp or doing the off season programs so they could 1047 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 4: then deliver those suits right before the regular season, so 1048 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,720 Speaker 4: every Sunday you could be fitted up, dressed to the nines, 1049 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 4: having a little bit of a fashion show when you 1050 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 4: walked in. Now, what's gone to the next level because 1051 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 4: these dudes have a serious interest? 1052 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 2: Did you have one? Did you have one? 1053 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,359 Speaker 3: Not like that? 1054 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 4: Like I always wanted to look good, like even on TV, 1055 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 4: you want to look good, But I didn't have aspirations 1056 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 4: are going to uh Fashion Week in Paris, Like these 1057 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 4: guys are showing up. I didn't want to uh get 1058 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 4: into avant garde stuff and and and look different. This 1059 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 4: is what uh the younger generation they're they're into. They're 1060 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 4: really into clothes, They're into being different, they're into being edgy, 1061 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 4: and those things. And to do that, it takes a 1062 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 4: stylus and a clothier Taylor to make these things, these 1063 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 4: visions that you have for yourself come to life. 1064 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,359 Speaker 1: I would go on step further. I'll make a bit 1065 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 1: of a U turn right here. Not only are the 1066 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: NFL guys doing it, the w NBA girls are doing it, 1067 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 1: and I'm seeing it everywhere the game. 1068 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 2: Right did the stylist coming down there? 1069 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 1: I'm seeing Angel Reese dressing to the nines before a 1070 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: game wearing high heels, and she doesn't even know how 1071 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: to wear high heel She'll break an ankles wearing them. 1072 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 2: Really, I mean. 1073 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 3: Being disrespectful, but she was. 1074 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 2: I saw. 1075 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 3: Say this. 1076 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 4: I would say this, Andy. One of the things we 1077 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 4: used to talk about in college. We used to have 1078 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 4: the athletic banquet, and the one thing that would make 1079 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,439 Speaker 4: us smirking giggle would be watching the women's basketball team 1080 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,840 Speaker 4: or the women's soccer team, or field hockey or whatever 1081 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 4: have to put on heels because it's not necessarily the 1082 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 4: thing that they're doing. But here's what I will say 1083 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 4: about the WNBA and how things are changing. 1084 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 3: I appreciate it. 1085 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 4: That now women and guys are showing people their personality 1086 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 4: and the way that they dress coming to the game. 1087 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 3: The WNBA in particular, like one of the things. 1088 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 4: That is happening. And I will say that this is 1089 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 4: a byproduct of the NFL. You know, it's only been 1090 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 4: within the last five or six years that you've seen 1091 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 4: guys get out of the car and walk into the 1092 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 4: locker room. 1093 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 3: Right. They call that the runway walk in TV, and. 1094 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 4: So we're now beginning to capture those moments because everyone 1095 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 4: is interested in what you're wearing. And in fact, in Jacksonville, 1096 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 4: you walk the teal carpet from your car into the thing. 1097 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 3: Because it's such. 1098 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 4: A runway experience, everyone knows that people are looking, so 1099 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 4: they dress for the occasion.

Should be in theaters surely, Like. 1163 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 3: That was my thing. 1164 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 4: I would fly from the couch with the tower wrapped 1165 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 4: around my neck like I was Superman. 1166 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,280 Speaker 3: I believe I could fly all of this stuff. 1167 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 4: So he has an opportunity to live out some of 1168 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 4: those things. And you probably don't want to publicize it 1169 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 4: because it does put you out there. Cincinnati is a 1170 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 4: different city where those cars will stand out. It's different 1171 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 4: than being in a Miami or in l a or 1172 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 4: even a New York for that matter. So it's a 1173 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 4: little different. 1174 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 2: But what do you garage that thing? I mean, what 1175 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 2: do you park it? 1176 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Cincinnati would be very short on 1177 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: the other city. I mean, you bring that car down 1178 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: town Miami, you know, and you're going for a restaurant 1179 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: to come out, the car won't be there. 1180 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 2: I'm sure, what do you do? 1181 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 3: Vallet in the car? 1182 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: You know what your ballet. I'm driving that I think 1183 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 1: about the ballet. 1184 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 3: I mean, you're laying and you're open that he's not 1185 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 3: going for a joy ride beach in it. But no. 1186 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 4: But here's I think the bigger concern would be in Cincinnati, 1187 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,399 Speaker 4: because you guys do get inclement weather. I wouldn't want 1188 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 4: the batmobile dealing with snow and salt and that stuff. 1189 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to deal with it. But 1190 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 3: that's where he is. 1191 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 4: And so like I get it, childhood fantasies, childhood fantasies. 1192 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's great to hear this from you 1193 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: because you played the game, all right. I watched the game. 1194 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,720 Speaker 1: I was close to the game, but I never played 1195 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 1: the game. So the mindset's a little different. And look, 1196 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: I like Joe Burrow. I like to see him do well. 1197 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: I feel bad that he led the league in so 1198 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: many categories as a pair so last year and he 1199 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs. That's gotta eat your heart out, really, 1200 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, he and Jamar Chase, I mean, probably the 1201 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: best one two offensive combination in the game of football 1202 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 1: today and they didn't make the playoffs. 1203 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 2: That to me distincts. 1204 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 1: It's do it you know, if you would have told 1205 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,240 Speaker 1: somebody I just showed them the stats after the season, 1206 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: you would have thought that that team certainly was a 1207 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: playoff team. 1208 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,879 Speaker 2: But you know, it didn't happen. So Joe. 1209 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,000 Speaker 1: I wish Joe the best, but I just think some 1210 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: of the things that he says and does, you know, 1211 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: can be analyzed a little bit and questioned, because it's just, 1212 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 1: you know, get get back on the main road of 1213 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: the highway, not on the side road. 1214 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. 1215 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 3: You on the main road the highway. Yes, yes, get 1216 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 3: in the center lane. You're right, You're right, You're absolutely right. 1217 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,680 Speaker 4: When it goes to that, like he needs to kinderstand 1218 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 4: his lane, and if he stays in his lane, good 1219 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 4: things have happened. 1220 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 3: So I understand, I understand where you're at right now. 1221 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 1: I want to get back to your guy, Dion Sanders. 1222 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,400 Speaker 1: We touched them a little earlier today and a couple 1223 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,320 Speaker 1: of things. We talked about the nil he wants to 1224 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: salary cat that's fine, but he says he wants to 1225 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: see some standards now for college uniforms. We talk about 1226 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 1: what Joe Burrow wears when he's not warning uniform the 1227 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: back of suit. But Deon Sanders he wants to see 1228 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: some standards out there, and he says, there are guys 1229 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: out there in biker shorts, all right, he said, it 1230 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: makes him sit because I'm a football guy. I played 1231 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,399 Speaker 1: the game at a high level. I have so much 1232 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: respect for the game. How can we allow guys out 1233 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 1: there and biker shorts, no knee piss? What the hell 1234 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: is he talking about. I don't think I've never seen shorts. 1235 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,800 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, they have been like so, what has happened? 1236 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 4: When I was playing, let's say nineties to the two 1237 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 4: thousands era, you're pants, your uniform pants had to come 1238 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 4: toward certain depth. They had to come, they would say, 1239 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 4: below the knee. And then they've started to come above 1240 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 4: the knee. And now guys are taking it where they 1241 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 4: literally almost mid thigh. And what Dion wants is it's 1242 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,720 Speaker 4: funny knowing him. He wants uniformity because he wants professionalism. 1243 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 4: What you have is you have all these different guys 1244 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 4: that are wearing the uniform and it doesn't look right. 1245 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 4: The NFL does not go for that at all. If 1246 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 4: you look at the NFL, the NFL has on you 1247 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 4: about your socks. Your socks have to come all the 1248 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 4: way up to your knee. Your uniform pants have to 1249 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 4: go to the knee. There's a uniformity when you look 1250 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 4: at an NFL team, Every team looks alike when it 1251 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,240 Speaker 4: comes to what they allow. 1252 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 3: College. You don't have that. 1253 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 4: And if you're talking about selling the sport, even from 1254 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 4: a professional standpoint, broadcast to whatever uniformity is right. 1255 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 3: Like think about the military. 1256 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 4: There's a reason why the armed forces they wear they 1257 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 4: wear uniforms and they're distinguishing. There's a professionalism and an 1258 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 4: aura that comes with it. DM wants that for the 1259 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 4: guys in the sport. He wants a certain cachete that 1260 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,400 Speaker 4: comes with being in uniform. 1261 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, you make a great point then, you know, 1262 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: for those that aren't familiar with that. My good buddy 1263 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 1: David Fulchen, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, he's part 1264 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 1: of the court uniform police. He would stand on the 1265 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: sidelines of Cincinnati Bengal games at home and fine, you know, 1266 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: right up the guys who didn't have their socks, I guess, 1267 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, the uniform, you. 1268 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 4: Don't have your socks up, you don't have your your jersey, 1269 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:43,760 Speaker 4: then yeah, one hundred percent, you don't have. Yeah, your socks, 1270 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 4: not pulled up, pants, not pulled over the knees, you 1271 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 4: don't have. 1272 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 5: Uh. 1273 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 4: You put extra alterations to your helmet and things that 1274 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,720 Speaker 4: are not in there. When you walk into an NFL 1275 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 4: locker room, there's a big poster on the wall that 1276 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,000 Speaker 4: shows this is how you should be properly attired, and 1277 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,880 Speaker 4: it goes through it and anything that you do that 1278 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,360 Speaker 4: is different from that picture, you're subject to a fine 1279 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,720 Speaker 4: and the finds are significant. So when Dion talks about 1280 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 4: being a pro and coming from the pro game, he 1281 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 4: wants that because he seeks comfort in the uniformity that 1282 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 4: his team should have. If you know, Deanna, if you 1283 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 4: watch anything behind the scenes, he's very particularly about what 1284 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,480 Speaker 4: color socks his guys wear. If he says everyone wears 1285 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 4: black socks and someone wears white socks, he throws them 1286 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 4: out the weight room. You know, like, that's about being 1287 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 4: a part of the team. And when you do those things, 1288 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 4: you're being an individual. You're not being a good teammate, 1289 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 4: you're not being a part of a team. And I 1290 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 4: know we're in a me me me phase of life, 1291 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 4: but it has to be bigger than you. It has 1292 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 4: to be about the team. 1293 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: And it's funny because I love that about the NFL, 1294 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 1: and he wants to have that in college. But when 1295 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: I watch the NBA, I guess everybody's got different sneaker 1296 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 1: deals and sometimes I see guys with different colored shoes, 1297 00:57:59,160 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: not even different. 1298 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 4: It drives me crazy. It drives me crazy. It drives 1299 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 4: me crazy. 1300 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 2: I'm not crazy. I'm not a fan me either. 1301 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: And back in the day when the Boston Celtics were 1302 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 1: all black high top Converse, that that was. 1303 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 2: You know, do you ever see that anymore? Really? 1304 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: And I once read up on that scene. You know 1305 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: why did the Boston Celtics always wear black Converse? They said, 1306 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: because the white ones got dirty and then didn't have 1307 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: enough money to buy them new shoes, so they bought 1308 00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: they were black. That's why they were black Converse high top. 1309 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. 1310 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 4: That's smart, you know, yeah, but that's the way it was. 1311 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 4: And you're right, it's funny that you brought up the 1312 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 4: Boston Celtics because that was a big part of the thing. 1313 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 4: But let's go back, because you're in Cincinnati. Let's think 1314 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 4: about the big Red machine. And I know, we're taking 1315 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 4: everybody into wayback machine. But the Cincinnati Reds used to 1316 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 4: wear black shoes. I remember Johnny Bench and those guys. 1317 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 4: Like even the logo whatever, the little baseball the running 1318 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 4: baseball man that they used to have as the logo 1319 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 4: had black shoes on. That was a big part of 1320 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 4: who they are. The A's were different because they were 1321 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,040 Speaker 4: one of the only teams that wore white shoes. 1322 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 3: Right, that's right. 1323 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 4: The uniformity of everything, you know, and I think people 1324 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 4: appreciate that and the Yankees and the traditions. No matter 1325 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 4: what we say, I think the overwhelming majority of the 1326 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 4: public appreciates tradition and they like seeing the uniform and 1327 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,480 Speaker 4: all those things. Because if we didn't believe in the uniform, 1328 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 4: why with so many workplaces required that you have a uniform. 1329 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 3: That's who we are inherently, right. 1330 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: That's why kids go to Catholic school because they wear 1331 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 1: a uniform. Really, I mean, because everybody's the same, no 1332 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,720 Speaker 1: one's different, no one's better than anybody else. 1333 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 2: The old ways. 1334 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: Uniforms in the Catholic high schools, right, that's what they do. Right, last, 1335 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: but not least with this thing at DeAnza and I 1336 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 1: kind of like this if in fact, the college football game, 1337 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: at least on the Division IE level, you know, at 1338 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 1: the highest level, college football is kind of a training 1339 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 1: ground for the NFL. He'd like to see the rules 1340 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 1: in college where two feet in bounds in order for 1341 00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: a cash to be counted, not the one foot that 1342 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 1: the college and I don't understand why they don't do that. 1343 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 1: I think they should, don't you think if it's almost 1344 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: like a training ground for the NFL. 1345 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 4: It is, you know, it's it's funny that they don't. 1346 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 4: They don't have that, they don't have the uniformity, like 1347 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 4: the rules are still different. I think in the college 1348 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 4: getting the reason why you have the one foot is 1349 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 4: you're trying to increase scoring. 1350 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 3: You try to make it a better product. 1351 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,919 Speaker 4: So putting one foot down lessons the degree of difficulty 1352 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 4: on the pass catcher. That's what it comes down to. 1353 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 4: It's about increasing scoring. A lot of those rules are 1354 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 4: designed for that. 1355 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 2: Interesting. 1356 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 1: All right with that, I'll let everybody know.

We're Levi Stubbs, 1392 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 1: the late Levi Stubbs, and you know I was a 1393 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 1: kid and they performed in Brooklyn on Flatbush Avenue. I'll 1394 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 1: never forget. I want what a couple of buddies. It 1395 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 1: was five bucks to get in to see him and 1396 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 1: you got two drinks. That's how long ago this was. 1397 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 1: And I love the Fourth Tops. I want to see them. 1398 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,120 Speaker 1: So this is what I did. I know, it sounds 1399 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 1: real stupid. There's a guy and you know, and we 1400 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 1: talked about a Mason from Detroit. He's on in the 1401 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 1: mornings on Sirius XM and I listened to him, and 1402 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: on Saturdays he does a show with Levi Stubbs Son 1403 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,480 Speaker 1: and from the Rock and Roll from from the Motown 1404 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,440 Speaker 1: Museum in Detroit. So I wrote to Mason, I write, 1405 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 1: and Mason never wrote me back, but I wrote Mason wrote, 1406 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: and I said, you got to help me out because 1407 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: I want to see the Fourth Tops, and and I went, 1408 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,200 Speaker 1: maybe he thought there was something wrong with me. Not 1409 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 1: only do I want to meet them and see them, 1410 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,439 Speaker 1: I want to go on stage and sing a song 1411 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 1: with them. That's what I want them to do. So 1412 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: maybe he'll still write me back or not. But I'm 1413 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: going to see them and I want to see them. 1414 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: But if I do sing with the Tops, I will 1415 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 1: let you know. I'll let you know, Buck, Okay, I'll. 1416 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 3: Let you sing with the Tops, Bernadette. 1417 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 2: That's what I want to sing. 1418 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: With them, So we'll see.

All right, 1420 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 1: you probably think I'm nuts. I know you're stunned. Now 1421 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,640 Speaker 1: you're not even mentioning a word, You're not saying a thing. 1422 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what to say. I mean 1423 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,200 Speaker 4: a little thing about you went on the way back. 1424 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 4: We see you talking about the Four Tops, So I 1425 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:37,920 Speaker 4: was just letting you have your moment. 1426 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I mean, you know what, I 1427 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,800 Speaker 1: don't want to be one of those guys that you know, 1428 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: just talks about back then. 1429 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 2: But you know they were great. I mean you talk 1430 01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:48,600 Speaker 2: about the Fourth Tops. 1431 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean to me, I think they are, you know, 1432 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,800 Speaker 1: iconic really, I mean every if you know music, you 1433 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: know the Fourth Tops, you know Stevie Wonder, These these 1434 01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 1: are the groups I grew up with. 1435 01:03:58,360 --> 01:03:58,919 Speaker 2: I love them. 1436 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: So what can I tell you? Earth Wind and Fire 1437 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 1: all those books. We move on, but we talk about 1438 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: what you do. And you write about NFL dot com 1439 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 1: and you did a good one this week. And I 1440 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 1: got to ask talk about the training camps opening about 1441 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 1: about fifteen sixteen days now, and you talk about guys 1442 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 1: that are going to jump from the role player to 1443 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: a key contributor. Now, he is my question bigger. You're 1444 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,919 Speaker 1: so smart doing this kind of stuff. And I don't 1445 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: know how you do it. But anybody who's drafted, I 1446 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: would believe, would think they are quote a key contributor, 1447 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 1: and it probably hurts them dearly that when they are drafted, 1448 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 1: they become a role player, Am I correct? I mean 1449 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 1: you don't want to be a role player, you want 1450 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: to be a key contributor. 1451 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 4: I mean you never really want to be a role 1452 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 4: player per se, Like you want to be able to 1453 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 4: jump in there. 1454 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 3: But we all have to play a role. 1455 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 4: I think the thing is the best guys start in 1456 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 4: their roles like they have a way of being able 1457 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,640 Speaker 4: to make their mark, make an impact in whatever that 1458 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 4: role is. So going from being a lesser ran to 1459 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 4: a guy that you can count on their production, a 1460 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 4: guy that you can count on to be in the 1461 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 4: mix and always not only they're and available, but in 1462 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,400 Speaker 4: the mix and able to contribute at a high level. 1463 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:13,840 Speaker 3: That's the next step. 1464 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 4: And normally people make the biggest jump from their first 1465 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 4: to second year in the league because now you've been 1466 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 4: in the league, you had a taste of you know, 1467 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 4: the speed of the game is, You're not to prepare 1468 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 4: or whatever. 1469 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 3: The second year, you should be able to play and 1470 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 3: play at a high level. So that's the expectation with 1471 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 3: a lot of these guys. 1472 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 1: All right now, how do you know who's going to 1473 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: make that jump? And you said that there were a 1474 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: couple of players last year that you kind of were 1475 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: right on spot on that they did make that jump. 1476 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Who were the ones from last year that you picked 1477 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,360 Speaker 1: that would make the jump from roll to key a 1478 01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 1: year ago? 1479 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 4: Jackson Smith and Jigbu was a guy that you know, 1480 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 4: I thought that he would have more opportunities and would 1481 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 4: have a chance to play well. I thought Bryce Young 1482 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,760 Speaker 4: would eventually get a turn in the right direction, and 1483 01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 4: we saw at the end of the year he started 1484 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 4: to warm well and make some contributions. A lot of 1485 01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,640 Speaker 4: times if you're looking at their situation and circumstance, and 1486 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 4: did the team clear a path for those players to 1487 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 4: be able to play, meaning did they create opportunities where 1488 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 4: they removed a veteran, they opened up the starting position, 1489 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 4: they said, we're committed to putting the gawn in the 1490 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 4: field and we're gonna let him play, come hell of 1491 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,960 Speaker 4: high water. Sometimes you need that clear pathway to be 1492 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 4: able to get on the field to help you become 1493 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 4: the player that you want to be. 1494 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some of the players that 1495 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 1: you think will be key players this year. And let's 1496 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 1: go with the quarterback position, because everybody loves quarterbacks and 1497 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,600 Speaker 1: probably the most important position not only in the NFL, 1498 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 1: but in all sports. And you looked at I think 1499 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 1: it was Michael Pennox junior for the Atlanta Falcons, and 1500 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 1: you know he got. 1501 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 2: A break last year. 1502 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 1: And I'm saying, go back to that Netflix thing with quarterbacks. 1503 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins had that Atlanta team at six and three. 1504 01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean he was on a roll. I mean everybody 1505 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: caused bad mouthing Kirk Cousins, thirty six, He's finished, no, 1506 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,200 Speaker 1: And then he played the New Orleans Saints and it 1507 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: got hit in the shoulder and now is the end 1508 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 1: of it. He even admitted after the game that he 1509 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: couldn't even lift his elbow up. And then he started 1510 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 1: throwing the I on t's like candy canes. 1511 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 2: He really was. It was great. 1512 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: And then they went down the cropper. So Michael Penni's 1513 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,160 Speaker 1: got a break when Kirk Cousins got hurt. But to me, 1514 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 1: does Kirk Cousins automatically lose his starting job because of that? 1515 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 3: Yes, it's over. Is Michael Pennix era. 1516 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 4: And if they could get rid of Kirk Cousins, they 1517 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 4: would get rid of him. But it's the Michael pennis ere. 1518 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 4: They drafted him because they believed that he had the 1519 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 4: potential to really do great things in there, and I 1520 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 4: think when you look at the weapons around him at 1521 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 4: Drake London, Darnielle Mooney, did two running backs, b Jhon Robinson, 1522 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,640 Speaker 4: Tyler jer Kyle Pitts, who they put a top five 1523 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 4: pick in as a tight end. They have a lot 1524 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 4: of firepower around him. He doesn't need to be perfect. 1525 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 4: He just needs to be precise in the things that 1526 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 4: they're asking him to do. 1527 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 3: And if he's. 1528 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 4: Proficient throwing the ball and doing those things, the numbers 1529 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 4: that come out, expect the numbers to come in and 1530 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 4: bunches this year. 1531 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 1: Though, Well, look, I would say this, I would not 1532 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 1: be surprised if Kirk Cousins comes off the bench then 1533 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 1: because this guy and I don't wish him any harm. 1534 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: But Pennix only started three games. Is a small sample size. 1535 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: I really believe that, and who knows what's gonna happen. 1536 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,679 Speaker 1: He does have tremendous people around him with Drake London 1537 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitch, no doubt, and a good running game 1538 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,120 Speaker 1: in Robinson. But I'm not sold. I'm not sold on 1539 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix Junior yet. And remember he's not a kid. 1540 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 1: He's a twenty five or twenty six, isn't he? So 1541 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sold on him. And I'm a Kirk Cousins guy. 1542 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,080 Speaker 1: You know, the more I see Kirk Cousins on TV 1543 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,719 Speaker 1: with these shows like HBO, Hard Knocks and the Netflix deal, 1544 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,839 Speaker 1: I'm in love with the guy. I'm pulling for Kirk Cousins, 1545 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,600 Speaker 1: and I think he's a hell of a teammate. And 1546 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,719 Speaker 1: if he doesn't start, I think he'll do everything possible 1547 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 1: to help Michael Pennock Junior. Now, last year they lost 1548 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,679 Speaker 1: the game. I think they lost to Tampa and after 1549 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 1: the game, he went over and he just congratulated the 1550 01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 1: players on Tampa. You don't see that. I mean, I 1551 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,840 Speaker 1: just think he's got a hell of a heart. I 1552 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 1: love Kirk Cousins, I do. 1553 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 3: I think you've fall in for the story. I think 1554 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 3: he's done a really good job. 1555 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,640 Speaker 4: I think that's why Netflix has those things, so you 1556 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 4: fall in love with the narrative in the story and 1557 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:17,200 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousin. Yeah, Kirk Cousins has lured you in with 1558 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 4: his personality and he's such a good guy whatever. But Andy, 1559 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 4: he's not been great. He didn't play well. He had 1560 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:26,120 Speaker 4: that stretch. We had one touchdown and nine interceptions. He 1561 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 4: had to go sit on the pine. You get to 1562 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 4: sit down. You should have told people that he rather 1563 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 4: put that up, because yeah, like he has to do it. 1564 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 4: He's trying to play through it and he's terrible and 1565 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 4: they're losing games because of that. So in a way 1566 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 4: it's a selfish move. But he didn't play well. He's 1567 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 4: coming off to Achilles. And you talked about Michael Pennis 1568 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 4: being twenty five. Kirk Cousins is thirty seven. He's an 1569 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 4: old man. He's an old man trying to play and 1570 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:58,639 Speaker 4: without his athleticism or anything like, it becomes a much 1571 01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 4: harder job when you have a statue in the pocket. 1572 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: Can I change the tobough for us? Say you tell 1573 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,679 Speaker 1: me about old men. I went to a minor league 1574 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 1: baseball game last night in Florence, Kentucky, the Florence Yawls, 1575 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,720 Speaker 1: all right, and they got a thirty six year old 1576 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,879 Speaker 1: guy who are playing in the minor leagues for thirteen 1577 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 1: years and his name is Craig Massey and he got 1578 01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:21,520 Speaker 1: his one thousandth career hit last night. Is at thirteen 1579 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 1: years in the minor leagues. So I'm gonna do a 1580 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 1: little piece on him, a story on him. I asked 1581 01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 1: him the question. I said, here's a question for you. 1582 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: Would you rather get a thousand hits after thirteen years 1583 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:36,440 Speaker 1: in the minors or would you rather get one hit in. 1584 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 2: Major League baseball? 1585 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:38,000 Speaker 9: And boom? 1586 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:38,679 Speaker 2: What did he say? 1587 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: I want to I thought to be in the majors 1588 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:44,400 Speaker 1: to get one hit. That's because the right, of course, that's. 1589 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 2: What you want to do. But the dreams. 1590 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: He's thirty six years old still playing minor league baseball. 1591 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 1592 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,439 Speaker 3: That's the dream is the dream. 1593 01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 4: The dream is to go out there and to be 1594 01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 4: able to play and compete at a high level. 1595 01:10:58,439 --> 01:10:59,840 Speaker 3: That's the dream. So I understand it. 1596 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: Crazy, All right, back, we got the quarterback. You got 1597 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,760 Speaker 1: Michael PENNOCKX. I'm circling Michael Pennockx's name. You say he's 1598 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a role player right now? All right? Not 1599 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,679 Speaker 1: a role player, key player? Okay, what about the running 1600 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,439 Speaker 1: back position? What do you got going on there? 1601 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 5: Well? 1602 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 4: Running back, I mean you have Tyrone Tracy from the 1603 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 4: Giant Giant who yes, yeah, I mean he stepped up. 1604 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 4: He had eight and rushing yards last year. Look, he 1605 01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 4: had big shoes to field. Saquon Barkley is a monster, 1606 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,040 Speaker 4: and he had to step in for Saquon. Now he 1607 01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 4: can't give them what Saquon gave them, particularly when Saquon 1608 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,840 Speaker 4: Barkley's going nuts around the way in Philadelphia. But look, 1609 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,719 Speaker 4: this is a really good player. This is someone everyone 1610 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 4: has to understand. He was a former wide receiver turned 1611 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 4: running back and he didn't make that conversion until right 1612 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 4: before his last year going to produce. So this is 1613 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 4: someone who's still learning the position. So think about that 1614 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,960 Speaker 4: two years in the game. You've played the position for 1615 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,720 Speaker 4: those two years, but you've already almost close to get 1616 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,400 Speaker 4: a thousand yards rushing. There's a lot that he can 1617 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 4: that he can do, and in the passing he should 1618 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,600 Speaker 4: be able to help Russell Wilson should be able to 1619 01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 4: find him early and often targeting the running back out 1620 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,879 Speaker 4: of the backfield. A lot of attention on my Leiku neighbors, 1621 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,200 Speaker 4: but this guy, Tyn Tracy should be able to impact 1622 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 4: the game as a runner end receiver. 1623 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,360 Speaker 1: Do you honestly think the Giants can make some noise 1624 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,040 Speaker 1: this year with Russell Wilson? Could they do anything that? 1625 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 3: I mean? 1626 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,679 Speaker 4: I think if they are able to play a certain way, 1627 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 4: and the way they have to play is the way 1628 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 4: the Giants have traditionally played. Great defense, fron the ball, 1629 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:34,160 Speaker 4: some efficient play from the quarterback. Defensively, they got some 1630 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,719 Speaker 4: talent where they can get after it Ken Shane Bowen 1631 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 4: and unlock it. 1632 01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:39,719 Speaker 3: That's the key. And then Brian day. 1633 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 4: Ball, what we're gonna do at quarterback with Russell Wilson 1634 01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 4: and eventually Jackson Dark. What are we gonna do, How 1635 01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:46,640 Speaker 4: we gonna get him going, How we're gonna get this 1636 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 4: offense to move the ball consistently? 1637 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:49,759 Speaker 3: That's the meaning other question. 1638 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Russell Wilson, you know, I think his better 1639 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 1: days are behind him. 1640 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 2: Number one. 1641 01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 1: You know, he was always able to elude the rush, 1642 01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: but I think that's caught up to him right now 1643 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 1: because he's not a kid. And I just don't think 1644 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,599 Speaker 1: you build a team with a Russell Wilson. You don't 1645 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: build a team with an Aaron Rodgers. I just don't think, 1646 01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:07,600 Speaker 1: Like in the NBA, you're not going to build a 1647 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 1: team with Lebron You don't build a team around the 1648 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 1: guy who's forty one years of age. 1649 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:16,760 Speaker 3: You just don't m m m, Yeah, I mean, I mean, 1650 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 3: I mean I don't think he can do it. 1651 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 4: I think he gives them maybe some solid ability to 1652 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 4: do some limitations, but it depends on how Brian day 1653 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 4: Ball runs the team in terms of like, how are 1654 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,080 Speaker 4: they managing the game to win the game? Can they 1655 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,479 Speaker 4: play defense, can they run it? Can they be ball 1656 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 4: control at the possession centric on offense and then find 1657 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 4: a way to get it done. If they can do that, 1658 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 4: they can win some games. There'd be a bunch of 1659 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 4: close games, but they can do it. In fact, it's 1660 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,719 Speaker 4: really the blueprint and formula that he used with Daniel 1661 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 4: Jones when they went to the postseason. 1662 01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,520 Speaker 3: His first year. Very conservative. 1663 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,120 Speaker 4: They did some creative things in the run game to 1664 01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,840 Speaker 4: move the ball, but they leaned on the defense. They 1665 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 4: didn't turn it over, and they won a bunch of games. 1666 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 4: Uh at the end of games by being able to 1667 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:05,599 Speaker 4: close it out in the fourth quarter. 1668 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:06,920 Speaker 3: Maybe they can get back to that. 1669 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: Well, let's hope. So I think New York needs a 1670 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 1: decent football team. The Jets stink and the Giants haven't 1671 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 1: done anything.

Come on, really, you know one time, buck, 1770 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,360 Speaker 1: this was a tournament that proved the best team in 1771 01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,679 Speaker 1: college basketball. Now it's not. It's just a postseason tournament. 1772 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 1: But basically the best team doesn't normally win or usually 1773 01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,400 Speaker 1: Winny Big Time Day. 1774 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't like it.

I'm not one of those guys 1833 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,479 Speaker 1: that jealous of anything. I mean, life is handed to 1834 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,960 Speaker 1: people in certain ways. And you know, you were an 1835 01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: athlete and I was a loser. 1836 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:44,840 Speaker 2: I get it. 1837 01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 1: That's the way it is, you know. But I was 1838 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:48,599 Speaker 1: lucky enough to get involved in sports, but. 1839 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,719 Speaker 2: I didn't play. That's the number one thing. But number two. 1840 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,479 Speaker 1: I could see that because when we introduce the show 1841 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 1: every single week on the top of the hour, it's 1842 01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 1: always five times NFL player Bucky Brooks and by the way, 1843 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,280 Speaker 1: Andy Furman. You know, there's there's nothing attached to my 1844 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 1: name because basically I didn't do anything. If that's what 1845 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,559 Speaker 1: it's all right, that's what That's. 1846 01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 2: What I mean. 1847 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 1: No serious, I mean when you're listening to the show, 1848 01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,680 Speaker 1: you're driving around in your car listening at the home 1849 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,479 Speaker 1: and say, Wow, Bucky Brooks playing in the NFL five 1850 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: years and no, who's that who's that schmuck with him? 1851 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,680 Speaker 1: And Andy Furman?

But I bring that up not because 1856 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,519 Speaker 1: of jealousy or envy. By bringing up as an example 1857 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 1: to show you that in the NFL there could be 1858 01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,759 Speaker 1: or in any sport there could be that jealousy and envy. 1859 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,479 Speaker 1: I see it with Caitlin Clark. There's some envy. I 1860 01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,680 Speaker 1: could see it maybe where someone has a locker. I 1861 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:53,719 Speaker 1: remember when King Griffy Junior played for the Cincinnati Reds, 1862 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,280 Speaker 1: he had two lockers in the corner. And I think 1863 01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 1: there are other players were a little p old, like, 1864 01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 1: why does he get two lockers well with a refrigerator 1865 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 1: in it. That's the way it is. You know, certain 1866 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: people are blesseding, certain people are not. And I guess 1867 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm not.

The point is this. 1961 01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,760 Speaker 1: I think that you have to look professional, and when 1962 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,960 Speaker 1: I look at the national news that comes on after, 1963 01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,519 Speaker 1: I don't see those women dressed like that. That's all 1964 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I just don't And I think that in 1965 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 1: this day and age, you have to you know, even 1966 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,600 Speaker 1: students going to school. You know, I think wearing a 1967 01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,479 Speaker 1: T shirt to school which says the name of a 1968 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:23,840 Speaker 1: beer company on it is not the proper way to 1969 01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:25,840 Speaker 1: go to school. You know, I just don't think it is. 1970 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:26,320 Speaker 3: You know. 1971 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:27,519 Speaker 1: I know when I went to school, I had to 1972 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: wear a college shirt. I had to wear a shirt 1973 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,680 Speaker 1: and tie until about eighth or ninth grade. You know, 1974 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to learn. You get 1975 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,799 Speaker 1: dressed knowing you're going to go there for a purpose. 1976 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,640 Speaker 1: But you know, on the same token, some of these 1977 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,160 Speaker 1: teachers are wearing jeans and T shirts too, So you know, 1978 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,439 Speaker 1: the environment has to change if you want the results 1979 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 1: to change. That's all I'm saying right, and I think 1980 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 1: you will. 1981 01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:51,680 Speaker 3: Agree, and yeah, I'm with you on that. 1982 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 4: You're right. The environment has to change. If you're going 1983 01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,840 Speaker 4: to the circumstances to change, you have to do that. 1984 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 2: All right, we move on that. I'm not here the lecture. 1985 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:02,720 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just noticing things and. 1986 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 3: Just I mean a little bit. It's fine, it's fine, 1987 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:06,240 Speaker 3: it's okay, it's okay. 1988 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,639 Speaker 4: We criticized, we criticized the broadcast and for not give 1989 01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 4: a perspective, we now have have taken the people to 1990 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:17,559 Speaker 4: task for being inappropriately dressed on our local news channel. 1991 01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:20,280 Speaker 4: I'm sure you give more more advice today. You just 1992 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,360 Speaker 4: trying to teach you the next generation how they should perform. 1993 01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:25,120 Speaker 1: And if people are upset with that, I mean, well 1994 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 1: you gotta do is just google marve al, but google delate. 1995 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:32,439 Speaker 1: Marty Glickman, this guy did New York Nick basketball and radio, 1996 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,559 Speaker 1: and he would tell you exactly. He's at the top 1997 01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 1: of the key, he goes to the left. God, he 1998 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,160 Speaker 1: key paints the picture. You could close your eyes and 1999 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: see the game. That's what it's all about. And that's 2000 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:44,240 Speaker 1: that separates the good guys and the great guys. Marty 2001 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,599 Speaker 1: Glickman was great, Marv Albert was great, Spencer Ross. These 2002 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,160 Speaker 1: are the guys I grew up with. These guys were 2003 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,800 Speaker 1: great announcers, and there's a handful of guys that just 2004 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 1: do it. But they're not in the same class as 2005 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,960 Speaker 1: those guys. That's all I'm saying. And I say this, 2006 01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 1: nothing's guaranteed. Nothing in life is guaranteed, even in the NFL. 2007 01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it actually in the NFL or all of sports. 2008 01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 1: Someone needs to tell that to Kurk Cousins. Okay, let's 2009 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 1: listen to what he had to say on that Netflix right. Really, 2010 01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 1: it's like a Kirk Cousins love fest today. But let's 2011 01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,000 Speaker 1: see what Kirk Cousins had to say on quarterbacks on Netflix. 2012 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:14,720 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Kirk. 2013 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,880 Speaker 6: I wasn't expecting us to take a quarterback so high. 2014 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:19,559 Speaker 2: At the time. 2015 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,080 Speaker 6: It felt like I had been a little bit misled, 2016 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 6: or certainly if I had the information around freegency, it 2017 01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 6: certainly would have affected my decision. I had no reason 2018 01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 6: to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it there 2019 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:34,360 Speaker 6: if both teams are going to be drafting a quarterback high. 2020 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 6: But I've also learned in twelve years in this league 2021 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,479 Speaker 6: that if you're not entitled anything. It's all about being 2022 01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,759 Speaker 6: able to earn your spot and prove yourself. 2023 01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:44,680 Speaker 2: Well, he was small enough to realize that you're not 2024 01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 2: entitled to anything. 2025 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,080 Speaker 1: That was a Kurt on the Quarterbacks series on Netflix, 2026 01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,040 Speaker 1: and he said he might have resigned with the Vikings 2027 01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 1: if he knew the ful because we draft the quarterback 2028 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:52,679 Speaker 1: in the first round. 2029 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:54,840 Speaker 2: Why the hell would they draft the quarterback of the 2030 01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 2: first round? 2031 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 7: Buck? 2032 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,599 Speaker 1: A quarterback eight was available number two, He's thirty six 2033 01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,559 Speaker 1: years of age, three's coming off Achilles surgery. 2034 01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:03,679 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they draft the quarterback? Really? 2035 01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:06,679 Speaker 4: Well, I mean you said all those things, but also 2036 01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 4: maybe they viewed him as a descending player, meaning the 2037 01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:11,560 Speaker 4: declining player, a player who's not gonna get back to 2038 01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 4: the heights that he wants was able to get to. 2039 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:15,680 Speaker 4: And let's be honest, Kirk Cousins has done a lot 2040 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,599 Speaker 4: of great individual things. He hasn't done anything spectacular as 2041 01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 4: a team leader. I mean they haven't won significant games, 2042 01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,320 Speaker 4: they haven't won the big win in Minnesota or any 2043 01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,920 Speaker 4: other previous spots. He hasn't led a team to a 2044 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,800 Speaker 4: super Bowl run or even a championship run. So I 2045 01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:35,719 Speaker 4: understand individually, Kirk Cousins has done a lot of terrific stuff, 2046 01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 4: solid career, Pro Bowl career, But I do understand if 2047 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:44,719 Speaker 4: you're a team that wants championship aspirations, you're always looking 2048 01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,479 Speaker 4: for the guy that can compete with the likes of 2049 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,600 Speaker 4: Josh Allen and Pat Mahomes and some of the great quarterbacks, 2050 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 4: and at this stage of his career, Kirk Cousins can't 2051 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:54,439 Speaker 4: do that unless he has a super team behind him. 2052 01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a couple of things about Kirk Cousins. 2053 01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,559 Speaker 1: You know how much I love the guy. I love 2054 01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:00,680 Speaker 1: him as a person, as a family, whatever it may be. 2055 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,280 Speaker 1: Number One, Statistically, he's almost on par with Dak Prescott. 2056 01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:07,639 Speaker 1: If you check out the stats, he and Dak press 2057 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 1: Pat almost side by side with stats. All Right, that's 2058 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 1: number one. So he's not a bad quarterback. He's a 2059 01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:17,640 Speaker 1: good NFL quarterback, a functionable quarterback where you could win 2060 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,559 Speaker 1: with the guy you can and the Minnesota did win 2061 01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:22,920 Speaker 1: with the guy that's number one. Number Two, Over the years, 2062 01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:25,320 Speaker 1: I've learned maybe one thing, and maybe you can help 2063 01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:29,200 Speaker 1: me out with this. Statistically and skill wise, you know, 2064 01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,240 Speaker 1: you got to have the skill to be a quarterback, 2065 01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 1: but more than that, you have to have the personality. 2066 01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:36,320 Speaker 1: And I don't think he's a leader. I think he's 2067 01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 1: more of a geek. To be honest with you, I 2068 01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 1: think he's a geek, and I've seen him on TV, 2069 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 1: even in the locker room. He comes across as a geek. 2070 01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,519 Speaker 1: The players love him. He tries to dance with them, 2071 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:48,280 Speaker 1: and it doesn't Kurt, don't do the dancing. Please, it's 2072 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:50,880 Speaker 1: not you. You can't dance. Really, I can't dance, I 2073 01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 1: admit it. Don't dance in the locker room with the guy. 2074 01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 1: You look like a fool. But that's the point that 2075 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring out. He's not a leader, you know. 2076 01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,840 Speaker 1: As much as I can criticized Joe Burrow, he's a leader. 2077 01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,679 Speaker 1: He'll get in that whole. I think these guys respect him. Okay, 2078 01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,920 Speaker 1: Josh Allen a leader, Patrick Mahomes a leader. These guys 2079 01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,559 Speaker 1: are leader. Lamar Jackson, Oh my goodness, that guy's a leader. 2080 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:13,920 Speaker 1: I don't think Kirk Cousins is a leader, and I 2081 01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,240 Speaker 1: think that's a big, a big part of his quarterbacking. 2082 01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:21,760 Speaker 1: I guess picture that's not fulfilled and that's why he 2083 01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 1: hasn't taken his teams maybe to the next level because 2084 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 1: he's had great player, he said, Jefferson on the team, 2085 01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 1: and he's got great players around him, but he never 2086 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,719 Speaker 1: was able to get out of that shell. Maybe because 2087 01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:32,760 Speaker 1: he wasn't a great leader. 2088 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:33,439 Speaker 2: Could that be. 2089 01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 3: I mean it could be. 2090 01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 4: I mean he could be some of that. Some of 2091 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,560 Speaker 4: that is like the leadership part. Some of it is 2092 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,000 Speaker 4: also like just being able to perform under pressure. 2093 01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:42,640 Speaker 5: You know. 2094 01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:44,960 Speaker 4: You remember there was this thing for the longest time 2095 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,040 Speaker 4: about him in playoff games and how he didn't perform 2096 01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 4: well and that playoff games, but primetime games, Monday night, 2097 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,599 Speaker 4: Sunday night, those things like he would wilt under. 2098 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:57,599 Speaker 3: The pressure in the spotlight. 2099 01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:00,760 Speaker 4: And maybe some of that still exists, because I will 2100 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,920 Speaker 4: tell you that in the postseason, whatever you think Monday 2101 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 4: night and Sunday Night are is tenfold in the postseason 2102 01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:09,400 Speaker 4: when it comes to the pressure and what you feel 2103 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:11,719 Speaker 4: he hasn't performed well in those moments. 2104 01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:14,920 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, then you could go, Lamar Jackson has 2105 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 1: to perform well in the playoffs. Really, I mean, but 2106 01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,840 Speaker 1: you know that's what but that's what media people do. 2107 01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 1: They say he hasn't perform well in the prime, in 2108 01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 1: the big lights with the big that's bull. 2109 01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,160 Speaker 2: You know what, he won. He lost the game. 2110 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,720 Speaker 1: He performs well, his team didn't perform well, and the 2111 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:31,840 Speaker 1: other team performed better. It's a game, all right, Lamar 2112 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,639 Speaker 1: Jackson did not choke under the bright lights. I promise 2113 01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:36,720 Speaker 1: you that it just happened to work out that way. 2114 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 2: He lost. 2115 01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:37,920 Speaker 6: But right, but. 2116 01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:39,560 Speaker 5: No. 2117 01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 4: But what we have to do is like we got 2118 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:42,960 Speaker 4: to be we got to call a spade of spade, 2119 01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:45,760 Speaker 4: and so when it doesn't go right, we have to 2120 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,240 Speaker 4: talk about those things. Like when it doesn't go right, 2121 01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,880 Speaker 4: if you don't perform well, like we have to talk 2122 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 4: about it. We have to talk about, hey, why didn't 2123 01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:55,280 Speaker 4: he go right? Why doesn't he play at the same level. 2124 01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:58,680 Speaker 4: And we can provide context and perspective, but at the 2125 01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:00,599 Speaker 4: end of the day, you judge by how you perform 2126 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:04,160 Speaker 4: in those moments. Quarterback or not. That's what it is, 2127 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:07,400 Speaker 4: team game or not. The quarterback is the most important 2128 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 4: player on the team. We give him the ball every play, 2129 01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:13,680 Speaker 4: We pay him significantly more than everybody else, so he 2130 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,760 Speaker 4: has to carry the burden of being able to lead 2131 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 4: the team to the promised land. 2132 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:21,120 Speaker 3: And when you don't, we talk about you. 2133 01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,360 Speaker 1: Well, I would say this there are some players that 2134 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:30,200 Speaker 1: just don't perform well in big time situations, and I'll 2135 01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 1: get one of them. Clayton Kershaw. You're a Dodger fan, 2136 01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,200 Speaker 1: you know when it comes to the postseason. 2137 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 2: Is it bad luck? He hasn't performed well? It just 2138 01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,559 Speaker 2: happened that way? Is he a bad player? 2139 01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:40,760 Speaker 5: No? 2140 01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,120 Speaker 1: I mean three thousand strikeouts. I mean may be the 2141 01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,720 Speaker 1: less left hander to ever do that, because no one's 2142 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:48,280 Speaker 1: going to play as long as as he will, or 2143 01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:50,720 Speaker 1: others just don't play that long. Why the money's great 2144 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:52,920 Speaker 1: and you have a short career, injury, whatever it may be. 2145 01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:55,880 Speaker 1: But some players don't play well under the bright lights, 2146 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,920 Speaker 1: just as the way it is, which tells me what 2147 01:34:58,120 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 1: takes me to this situation. 2148 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 2: You're recruiting. You're a college recruiter right now. You're going 2149 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:04,240 Speaker 2: after a kid. 2150 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,200 Speaker 1: Kid plays in high school and all of a sudden, 2151 01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:08,720 Speaker 1: you go into a high school game where it's taken 2152 01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:11,080 Speaker 1: maybe three hundred people in the stands on a Friday night, 2153 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: and you're going to take them to Michigan when there's 2154 01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:15,439 Speaker 1: one hundred and four thousand people. He may not be 2155 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:17,680 Speaker 1: able to perform. He may have the skill set, but 2156 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:19,639 Speaker 1: he may not be able to perform under the bright 2157 01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:21,759 Speaker 1: lights under one hundred four thousand people. 2158 01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen that. 2159 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen guys that played in college situations 2160 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:30,040 Speaker 1: and going to the NFL and they kind of cringed 2161 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 1: under the big crowds. That happens, right, You can't practice that. 2162 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,439 Speaker 1: It just you throw them out there for the first 2163 01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,000 Speaker 1: time they look around, they go nuts. 2164 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's definitely that element to it, like 2165 01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:48,120 Speaker 4: where you don't get what you need from them, and 2166 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:49,960 Speaker 4: everyone can have the pressure. There are a lot of 2167 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,880 Speaker 4: people who want to be given all of the accolades 2168 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,479 Speaker 4: and do all that other stuff, but they're not ready. 2169 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:58,880 Speaker 4: They're not ready for it, and so you have to 2170 01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:00,640 Speaker 4: talk about you have to call him out on it, like, 2171 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 4: hey man, your guy can't hand the press. 2172 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:04,000 Speaker 3: He doesn't do it. 2173 01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:05,720 Speaker 4: And you have to understand who those people are. And 2174 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 4: you have to try and make the game as simple 2175 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:07,960 Speaker 4: as you can form. 2176 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:12,040 Speaker 3: But every night, everybody's not built to be a prime 2177 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:12,799 Speaker 3: time performer. 2178 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:17,200 Speaker 1: See, I'm amazed. And you may remember this guy. I 2179 01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:22,200 Speaker 1: remember John Brockington who played for Ohio State. I do remember, okay, yeah, 2180 01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 1: I remember he played for Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn, 2181 01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:29,120 Speaker 1: John the Rock Brockington, all right, when they high school 2182 01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:32,240 Speaker 1: football in New York City is an anthrothelit I mean, 2183 01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,599 Speaker 1: there's nothing really that comes out of New York. Every 2184 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,080 Speaker 1: once in a while they got a great player, and 2185 01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:39,080 Speaker 1: Brockington was a great player, all right. And they don't 2186 01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:43,000 Speaker 1: play at night like you know in Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio 2187 01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:45,559 Speaker 1: they played Friday a big deal on Friday nights. Right 2188 01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,280 Speaker 1: in New York City they played ten o'clock Saturday morning 2189 01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,560 Speaker 1: in front of like thirty five people. Right, So I 2190 01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 1: was shocked that Brockington A was even recruited by Ohio 2191 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,760 Speaker 1: State and b goes to Ohio State where I have 2192 01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:00,719 Speaker 1: eighty ninety thousand people of the game, and he performed. 2193 01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,240 Speaker 1: He didn't wilt under the pressure. So there are certain 2194 01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,639 Speaker 1: people that could do that, but others can't. And if 2195 01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm a college coach, one of the first questions I 2196 01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:12,120 Speaker 1: have to say, look, you perform really well here under 2197 01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,439 Speaker 1: the talent or lack thereof in New York City high 2198 01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:18,280 Speaker 1: school football, can you perform at that level that we 2199 01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:20,920 Speaker 1: play at at Ohio State and also in front of 2200 01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:21,599 Speaker 1: the big crowds. 2201 01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:22,200 Speaker 3: And he did. 2202 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,040 Speaker 2: That's a question. I think you have to ask these players, right. 2203 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:28,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you got to ask him. I mean 2204 01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:29,640 Speaker 3: you have to. 2205 01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:33,400 Speaker 4: I mean you have to kind of gauge the temperature. 2206 01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,519 Speaker 4: You have to see all of these different things about 2207 01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 4: them and check mental, maker performance, all that other stuff. 2208 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:41,200 Speaker 3: And you try and do it in a bunch of 2209 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:41,800 Speaker 3: different ways. 2210 01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,759 Speaker 4: But ultimately, and we can talk about all the stuff 2211 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:48,479 Speaker 4: on the intake process, you're judged by your performance and 2212 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 4: how you play. Like, ultimately it comes down to performance 2213 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,360 Speaker 4: and production in those moments. And you got to produce 2214 01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:54,080 Speaker 4: in those moments. 2215 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:56,840 Speaker 1: Okay, what was it like with you? I mean in 2216 01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:59,120 Speaker 1: your high school? Did they play at Friday nights or 2217 01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:00,679 Speaker 1: big crowds Friday football? 2218 01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 3: Loved it? 2219 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:06,320 Speaker 4: Like for me, I've always I've always loved the bigger 2220 01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:09,840 Speaker 4: the crowd, the bigger the game for me, the better 2221 01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:14,200 Speaker 4: I performed. I fed off of the energy good or bad, 2222 01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,960 Speaker 4: either being the evil empire, who the person who's in things, 2223 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 4: who's hated, or being celebrated. Like I loved all of 2224 01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:24,599 Speaker 4: that part of it, Like it got me excited. There's 2225 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:28,160 Speaker 4: nothing more that I miss now and football is man, 2226 01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:29,559 Speaker 4: I missed a few different things. 2227 01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:31,599 Speaker 3: I miss Sunday night games. 2228 01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:33,920 Speaker 4: I miss Monday night games and I missed playoff games 2229 01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:37,479 Speaker 4: because that's when the entire world is watching. That's when 2230 01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 4: the pressure is at its highest. And to me, that's 2231 01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 4: when you see who's who and what's what. That's when 2232 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:49,280 Speaker 4: you separate the good from from the greats in those moments. 2233 01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:51,840 Speaker 4: And I loved that part of it. I still love 2234 01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:54,680 Speaker 4: seeing how people performing that in any sport. I love 2235 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:58,719 Speaker 4: watching playoff baseball, hockey, basketball, because to me, that brings 2236 01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,920 Speaker 4: out the best in you if you can perform in 2237 01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:02,519 Speaker 4: those moments. 2238 01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:04,840 Speaker 2: And I bet that you have seen some people that 2239 01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:05,559 Speaker 2: have wilted in. 2240 01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:10,720 Speaker 1: Those situations too, right, like people people do it, you 2241 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,280 Speaker 1: don't perform like you don't always need one. 2242 01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 4: Namely, all make mistakes. Remember it's a team game where 2243 01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,759 Speaker 4: we all make mistakes. But yeah, the pressure, the pressure 2244 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 4: can be a lot, you know what. 2245 01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:28,280 Speaker 1: Honestly, you could say the same thing for our business. 2246 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:30,240 Speaker 1: You could see someone who knows a lot about sports 2247 01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:34,800 Speaker 1: is a good, good talker, a good could communicate, but 2248 01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:36,840 Speaker 1: but you can play on the microphone, he wilts. Right, 2249 01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen that too, maybe right? I mean 2250 01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL network, nice that were really talented and 2251 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:43,840 Speaker 1: know their stuff, and when the light goes on, they 2252 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:45,920 Speaker 1: just start to schitz and they sweat and they can't 2253 01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:46,479 Speaker 1: get it done. 2254 01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like yeah, sometimes the light you can 2255 01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,360 Speaker 4: read light comes on, the red light goes on, and 2256 01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 4: can you give me one name? 2257 01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,960 Speaker 3: No, I don't have anything.

Okay, or we get that 2282 01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,160 Speaker 1: he's kind of like in his own little world there, 2283 01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:12,679 Speaker 1: but he says he wasn't informed about the Pennix pick 2284 01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,799 Speaker 1: until a phone call by offensive courd that Zach Robinson 2285 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,800 Speaker 1: while Atlanta was on the clock. They don't owe him anything, right, 2286 01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have to tell him're gonna draft 2287 01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:22,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I mean, maybe his agents should have been 2288 01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,080 Speaker 1: smart enough to say, hey, Kurt, they may be drafted 2289 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:26,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback pretty high. 2290 01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:29,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I think they did their part in terms 2291 01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:32,519 Speaker 4: of giving them the common courtesy of the phone call 2292 01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:35,160 Speaker 4: before they took him. That's all the team is obligated. 2293 01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:39,240 Speaker 4: Hey man, just want to let you know before you 2294 01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:41,280 Speaker 4: see it scroll across the screen. We're gonna take Michael 2295 01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:44,680 Speaker 4: Pennis as a quarterback. YadA, YadA, YadA. He can be uncomfortable, 2296 01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:47,200 Speaker 4: he can be happy, But you've told him that's what 2297 01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,360 Speaker 4: you asked for. You asked, Hey, just tell me, just 2298 01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:51,759 Speaker 4: let me know so I can deal with the regardless. 2299 01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:53,240 Speaker 4: They can make a decision that they want to make, 2300 01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:56,120 Speaker 4: but just let me know so I'm not blindsided. So 2301 01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:58,320 Speaker 4: they gave him that, they gave him the Curtisy call. 2302 01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 4: He can't complain about it. The end of the day, 2303 01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:04,360 Speaker 4: is a team and the team is supposed to do 2304 01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:07,200 Speaker 4: what's best for the team. And I know we have 2305 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:10,439 Speaker 4: kind of put quarterbacks on a pedestal where we believe 2306 01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,200 Speaker 4: it's a partnership between the quarterback and the team. 2307 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:15,720 Speaker 3: How it runs, it doesn't operate like that. There's no 2308 01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:18,559 Speaker 3: other position that is like that. It's not one. 2309 01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,519 Speaker 4: And in the twenty one other guys, every other player, 2310 01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,360 Speaker 4: we've all had to deal with them drafting somebody at 2311 01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,880 Speaker 4: our position, and it becomes a competition. Quarterbacks have to 2312 01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,479 Speaker 4: get out of this thing where we expect them to 2313 01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:34,200 Speaker 4: run through their entire career without being challenged. This support 2314 01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:35,080 Speaker 4: of the big boy league. 2315 01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:39,519 Speaker 1: That's what you do, right, and the quarterbacks I gotta 2316 01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,360 Speaker 1: believe have a lot of power. I mean, at least 2317 01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:46,000 Speaker 1: the media has said that about Joe Burrow. They said 2318 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow basically has control over the front over 2319 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 1: cit of Cincinnati Bengals. I doubt I don't think he does, 2320 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,400 Speaker 1: but I gotta believe that he had some input on 2321 01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:55,679 Speaker 1: the drafting of Jim R. Chase. 2322 01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:57,760 Speaker 2: Was that played together at LSU he wanted Jim ar 2323 01:42:57,880 --> 01:42:58,680 Speaker 2: Chase and they got him? 2324 01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:02,960 Speaker 4: Or maybe I wouldn't say like necessarily that he went 2325 01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,000 Speaker 4: out and said, hey, I wanted to mar Chase. More 2326 01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,920 Speaker 4: likely that the team went to Joe Burron was like, hey, 2327 01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,000 Speaker 4: tell us about Ja Marchase, Like we're thinking about him. 2328 01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:13,200 Speaker 4: It's between him and Penney Sewell, if we got him, 2329 01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 4: how would he interact as he fed our culture? 2330 01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:16,840 Speaker 3: Like what do you think about him? 2331 01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:19,280 Speaker 4: And they get that perspective, but they still make the 2332 01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:23,760 Speaker 4: decision on their own, not necessarily because Joe Burrow wanted him, 2333 01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,240 Speaker 4: but if he advocates for him, it certainly is good. 2334 01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:28,840 Speaker 4: But you still don't make decisions because of players. And 2335 01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,439 Speaker 4: I'll say this as a former player, like there has 2336 01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:36,479 Speaker 4: to be a level of divide coaches, coach, scout scout 2337 01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,800 Speaker 4: players play like. You can ask that, but at the 2338 01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:41,840 Speaker 4: end of the day, there has to be a pecking order, 2339 01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:46,439 Speaker 4: a hierarchy in the organization because when you take someone 2340 01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:49,880 Speaker 4: that a player recommends and it doesn't go right, guess 2341 01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,560 Speaker 4: who's going to get the blame and the fallout. 2342 01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:54,320 Speaker 3: The scouts and the team. 2343 01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:58,200 Speaker 4: And so the player can say whatever, but you take 2344 01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:00,080 Speaker 4: that in, but it better be something that you you 2345 01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:03,200 Speaker 4: want to do as a front office otherwise you have 2346 01:44:03,320 --> 01:44:05,280 Speaker 4: to answer for it. The player never has to answer 2347 01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,680 Speaker 4: for it. And that goes, I mean in so many 2348 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:09,519 Speaker 4: different circles and so many different cycles. 2349 01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:13,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because the media has brought into 2350 01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:17,120 Speaker 1: this Joe Burrow basically could do no wrong and look, 2351 01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:20,280 Speaker 1: he's great, He's done wonder for this football team. Although 2352 01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 1: when you say wonders, what have they done? They haven't 2353 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:25,080 Speaker 1: made the playoffs last two years. However, you know when 2354 01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:28,760 Speaker 1: the holdout with the t Higgins and Jamar Chase, he 2355 01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:31,400 Speaker 1: was very vocal, Joe, Joe was very, very vocal, and 2356 01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 1: the media kind of brought in saying that, well, when 2357 01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:37,280 Speaker 1: Joe spoke the front office jump, I don't believe that. 2358 01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:40,880 Speaker 1: You know, Mike Brown, who owns the Cincinnati Bengals has 2359 01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:45,600 Speaker 1: been a staunch defender of his beliefs for years. And 2360 01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:49,479 Speaker 1: I remember, you know, not signing contracts for players and 2361 01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:53,800 Speaker 1: letting him walk, and Carson Palmer got rid of him 2362 01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:57,000 Speaker 1: when Carson want to be here. I mean it's happened. 2363 01:44:57,080 --> 01:45:01,280 Speaker 1: I mean Andrew Whitworth let him go. I mean things 2364 01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:03,800 Speaker 1: like that happen. So I can't believe that Mike Brown 2365 01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:07,040 Speaker 1: has changed since Joe Burrow has opened his mouth at 2366 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:10,880 Speaker 1: various news conferences saying you better sign Jamar Chase and 2367 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:14,320 Speaker 1: t Higgins. They signed them because these guys are valuable, 2368 01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,240 Speaker 1: and that was it. I don't think they signed it 2369 01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:17,839 Speaker 1: because Joe Burrow said, let's. 2370 01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:21,240 Speaker 4: Sign them, right, I would say that it helps the 2371 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,680 Speaker 4: all right, So it helps to have the endorsement of 2372 01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:27,920 Speaker 4: the franchise quarterback. You are when you're building your offense, 2373 01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 4: you are building it with the quarterback in mind, and 2374 01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:32,400 Speaker 4: you're building it with what are the things that will 2375 01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:36,240 Speaker 4: help the quarterback play at his best? As Joe Burrow 2376 01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 4: gains stature and influence or whatever like, he voices his opinion. Now, 2377 01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,360 Speaker 4: there is a partnership to some level in the league 2378 01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:49,320 Speaker 4: where offensive coordinator head coach or whatever you do, take 2379 01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:54,360 Speaker 4: the opinion of the hit. The quarterback has a little 2380 01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,160 Speaker 4: more weight, and so you're making decisions. You're like, look, 2381 01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:00,200 Speaker 4: he really likes both of these wide receivers, the kind 2382 01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,559 Speaker 4: of make it go okay. If we tell them, hey, 2383 01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,920 Speaker 4: if we do this, we can't have this left tackle whatever, 2384 01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:07,880 Speaker 4: are you okay with it? And he says, hey, put 2385 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:10,559 Speaker 4: it on me, I'll get the ball out my hands quicker. Well, 2386 01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:12,400 Speaker 4: then you can trust him depending on what his track 2387 01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,280 Speaker 4: record has been. So yeah, he has some heavily influenced 2388 01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:17,719 Speaker 4: and it is a bit of a partnership. But still 2389 01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:21,880 Speaker 4: the team better be okay resigning and paying the players 2390 01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:25,120 Speaker 4: that they pay pay because the criticisms falls to the team, 2391 01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:26,160 Speaker 4: right and. 2392 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,680 Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm mistaken. But all the years that 2393 01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:31,599 Speaker 1: Tom Brady has had success in New England, I never 2394 01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:34,160 Speaker 1: heard him go public saying that the New England Patriots 2395 01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:37,120 Speaker 1: sign a player a certain player, did you? And he 2396 01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:40,160 Speaker 1: never really had the talent and wide receiver that Joe 2397 01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:44,360 Speaker 1: Burrow has right now, never really did, no. 2398 01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:50,000 Speaker 4: But what he also had was a defense that was 2399 01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:55,080 Speaker 4: lights out opposite him, Like the Patriots always played great 2400 01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:58,240 Speaker 4: defense and they were a team that operated a different 2401 01:46:58,320 --> 01:46:59,960 Speaker 4: they had they could get into a bunch of different 2402 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,040 Speaker 4: systems and ways to play. When they had Randy Moss 2403 01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:05,080 Speaker 4: and Wes Welkin, those guys, they'd light them up. They 2404 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:07,559 Speaker 4: were average, like thirty plus points and do it. When 2405 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:10,200 Speaker 4: they didn't have those guys, they had the David Pattens 2406 01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:12,760 Speaker 4: and the Troy Browns and the Dion Branches of the world. Like, 2407 01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:17,880 Speaker 4: they did different things short intermediate control, passing game. They 2408 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:19,759 Speaker 4: could more if they could do a bunch of different 2409 01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:20,919 Speaker 4: things to have success. 2410 01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:24,120 Speaker 3: So I understand it. I get it. 2411 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:28,200 Speaker 4: But yeah, it's that fine line between you want your 2412 01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:32,160 Speaker 4: players and your quarterback to be an advocate. But he 2413 01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:36,400 Speaker 4: can't hijack the franchise with his his thoughts right, and. 2414 01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,679 Speaker 1: They lost so many games defensively last year. I don't 2415 01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:42,960 Speaker 1: see him advocating for the signing of Trey Hendrickson. You know, 2416 01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:45,280 Speaker 1: he was asked several times, and I think one of 2417 01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:48,000 Speaker 1: his answers was like, you know, well, last year we 2418 01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:50,639 Speaker 1: had two This year we only have one meeting. Last 2419 01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:53,880 Speaker 1: year he had Chase and Higgins dadd I could sign 2420 01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:58,200 Speaker 1: and they did. Now it's only Hendrickson, So I would 2421 01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:02,040 Speaker 1: think that he wanted to get Hendricks signed because again, 2422 01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:05,320 Speaker 1: they were terrible on defense last year and he was 2423 01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:06,519 Speaker 1: sort of the only bright spot. 2424 01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:07,759 Speaker 2: He led the league in sacks. 2425 01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:13,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's different though, right, So, so there are 2426 01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:15,519 Speaker 4: a few different ways to look at it, and you 2427 01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:18,000 Speaker 4: can look at it. What's the best way for us 2428 01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:20,800 Speaker 4: to be great on one side of the ball, because 2429 01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,519 Speaker 4: we can either be great on one side of the ball, we. 2430 01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 3: Could be average on both sides of the ball. 2431 01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,840 Speaker 4: Well, I would rather have a team that is great 2432 01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:31,760 Speaker 4: in one area and oh me in the other area, 2433 01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:34,719 Speaker 4: because then you put the pressure on the great side 2434 01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:36,240 Speaker 4: of the team the offense. 2435 01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:38,040 Speaker 3: Hey man, every week, y'all got to. 2436 01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:40,760 Speaker 4: Put twenty eight on the board, Like, if you don't 2437 01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:43,800 Speaker 4: get twenty eight, then it's on you. We've built the 2438 01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,960 Speaker 4: team under the assumption that the offense is always going 2439 01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:49,320 Speaker 4: to get us twenty eight points. So I can't expect 2440 01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,439 Speaker 4: the defense to be a lockdown defense when I haven't 2441 01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:55,000 Speaker 4: committed those resources. The onus is on the offense to 2442 01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:58,800 Speaker 4: carry us. That's what happens. That's the conversation. Then the 2443 01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:00,960 Speaker 4: media everyone will be like defense is so weak, But 2444 01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:04,080 Speaker 4: I would say it should be different if they're losing 2445 01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:07,680 Speaker 4: games and the offense isn't hitting a certain number, you 2446 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,679 Speaker 4: got to blame Joe Burron company because they are where 2447 01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:13,040 Speaker 4: the resources are, that's where the money is, that's where 2448 01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:16,200 Speaker 4: the greatness should be. If they don't play great each week, 2449 01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:18,759 Speaker 4: they get the criticism more so than the defense. 2450 01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:20,880 Speaker 1: So what the Bengals have to do this year is 2451 01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:22,839 Speaker 1: just score more points than the opposition. 2452 01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:23,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of. 2453 01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:26,720 Speaker 1: An easy out because that's what you got to do 2454 01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:27,400 Speaker 1: to win any game. 2455 01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:29,960 Speaker 2: But they really have to score points big time. They're 2456 01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,120 Speaker 2: gonna win games like thirty four to thirty one this year. 2457 01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:34,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's how the team is built. 2458 01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,880 Speaker 4: And I would say this, I want you to think 2459 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:42,840 Speaker 4: about the Peyton Manning Indianapolis Colts and how they were constructed. Right, 2460 01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:46,720 Speaker 4: they were designed to jump out to a lead and 2461 01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:50,280 Speaker 4: then defensively hold on with the pass rushers and the 2462 01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:53,599 Speaker 4: coverage weighing you out in the fourth quarter. That would 2463 01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,000 Speaker 4: lead you to belief that why haven't they signed Tree Inderson. 2464 01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,200 Speaker 4: I don't know why they haven't sign Trey Henderson because 2465 01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,120 Speaker 4: typically if you're going to operate the way the Bengals 2466 01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:04,800 Speaker 4: operate high end offense, the only people that get paid 2467 01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:08,240 Speaker 4: on that defense are the two pass rushers. Everybody else 2468 01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:12,160 Speaker 4: is draft and develop expendable guy, and they were trying 2469 01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:15,280 Speaker 4: to do that with Hendrickson Denshamar Stewart, who didn't have 2470 01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,160 Speaker 4: the production but is the prototypical guy when it comes 2471 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,559 Speaker 4: to the tools. You would like to have those two 2472 01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,080 Speaker 4: guys in the fold so you can win because the 2473 01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:26,360 Speaker 4: pass rushers can close the game out and salt away 2474 01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:30,040 Speaker 4: a thirty one to twenty seven win in Cincinnati. 2475 01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,240 Speaker 1: Let me throw something out there, and maybe this is 2476 01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:36,040 Speaker 1: way out of left field, but could it be perhaps 2477 01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,880 Speaker 1: there's a new defensive coordinator with Al Golden coming in. 2478 01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,360 Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't want hendricks And I doubt that's kind 2479 01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,519 Speaker 1: of a foolish thing to say, but I'm just grabbing 2480 01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:45,800 Speaker 1: its straws right now. Maybe why he hasn't been signed 2481 01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,320 Speaker 1: because Al Golden maybe doesn't believe in him because of 2482 01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:51,080 Speaker 1: his age. He's thirty one, and he'd rather develop player. 2483 01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:52,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, is that a possibility. 2484 01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 4: I would say that it's more likely not that Al 2485 01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,280 Speaker 4: Golden likes him, but more so that they don't want 2486 01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:02,800 Speaker 4: to pay him the length of the deal that he wants. 2487 01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:05,920 Speaker 4: Maybe he wants five years with more security in this 2488 01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:09,280 Speaker 4: and we'll give you two, maybe three, but we're not 2489 01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:13,120 Speaker 4: giving you that. I'm more likely to believe as the 2490 01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:17,360 Speaker 4: structure of the deal more so than the cash, because 2491 01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:19,120 Speaker 4: I think they like him enough to give him the 2492 01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:20,080 Speaker 4: cash that he wants. 2493 01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:24,360 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong. I think there's enough. 2494 01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:26,519 Speaker 1: I think that thirty one years of age, you're not 2495 01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:28,120 Speaker 1: going to give a guy a three year deal, maybe 2496 01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:32,439 Speaker 1: maybe two with best Maybe wanted an option something like that. 2497 01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:33,360 Speaker 3: We'll see. 2498 01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:35,240 Speaker 1: By the way, I want to go back to my 2499 01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:38,160 Speaker 1: Kirk cousins if I may, because he's on my mind now. 2500 01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:38,920 Speaker 2: I just can't start. 2501 01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:41,280 Speaker 1: As I said, he was six and three last year, 2502 01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:43,439 Speaker 1: and then as I mentioned, I want to defend them 2503 01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:46,160 Speaker 1: because everybody said, oh he was terrible. Look he got 2504 01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 1: hit in the right arm against the Saints that game. 2505 01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:50,680 Speaker 1: I think it was defensive end Peyton Turner. And there 2506 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,320 Speaker 1: was Week ten and then I was watching that quarterback 2507 01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,200 Speaker 1: thing on Netflix. He even said he knew something was 2508 01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:58,880 Speaker 1: wrong right then and there, immediately when he was hit 2509 01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:01,280 Speaker 1: and he said he felt ain't in his shoulder. And 2510 01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:05,519 Speaker 1: as soon as that happened, boom, the Falcons were right 2511 01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:06,160 Speaker 1: down the cropper. 2512 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:06,559 Speaker 7: They did. 2513 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,800 Speaker 1: They benched him in week sixteen and they didn't make 2514 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:11,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And then your guy Pennix came in there 2515 01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:13,880 Speaker 1: and say, you a guy because you said he's gonna 2516 01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:15,479 Speaker 1: be one of those guys going from like an old 2517 01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:17,599 Speaker 1: soon rant to a star. They were one and two 2518 01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:18,799 Speaker 1: and they didn't go to the playoffs. 2519 01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:23,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I would say that they were gonna judge 2520 01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:25,920 Speaker 4: Cousins off his record. I would say, well, what did 2521 01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:30,080 Speaker 4: he do individually to help those wins? The paper was 2522 01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,800 Speaker 4: suggest that yeah he did that, but man, he had 2523 01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:35,880 Speaker 4: I think eighteen and sixteen sixteen intercept. Just to me 2524 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:37,600 Speaker 4: blindly off the top of the head, he might have 2525 01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:40,080 Speaker 4: led the league at interceptions. The one thing that we 2526 01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:45,160 Speaker 4: do know the number one deciding factor in football turnovers, 2527 01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:48,960 Speaker 4: And if the quarterback is turning the ball over, it's 2528 01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:49,759 Speaker 4: a problem. 2529 01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:51,080 Speaker 3: And he's turning the. 2530 01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:55,400 Speaker 4: Ball over while not giving them any production or the 2531 01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:58,920 Speaker 4: performance that matches his salary. Because we took again in 2532 01:52:58,920 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 4: the first round, we might as well hand the ball 2533 01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:02,400 Speaker 4: to him if we if we're gonna turn it over 2534 01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:04,720 Speaker 4: and then we're gonna start losing, I'm going to go 2535 01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:06,599 Speaker 4: down with the young player because I need to see 2536 01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:08,160 Speaker 4: what I have so I can figure out how to 2537 01:53:08,200 --> 01:53:10,360 Speaker 4: build the team with him in mind. 2538 01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:12,880 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I got a couple of 2539 01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,040 Speaker 1: quarterback questions for you, who quickies? 2540 01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:18,479 Speaker 2: Are you ready? Who gets who gets more wins this year? 2541 01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:20,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields? 2542 01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:26,040 Speaker 4: Oh, Aaron Rodgers or Justin Fields? Who gets more wins? 2543 01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:27,839 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Pittsburgh gets. 2544 01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,240 Speaker 3: More wins just because of the brand. I just think 2545 01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:30,719 Speaker 3: the brand. 2546 01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I think. 2547 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,680 Speaker 3: I think. I just think the brand is whatever. I 2548 01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:37,960 Speaker 3: don't know, Like it's such a weird team and a dynamic. 2549 01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,920 Speaker 4: They got a lot of personalities now though, Like yeah, 2550 01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:46,240 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey. I mean, you got 2551 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:49,280 Speaker 4: a lot of personalities that you're managing and dealing with 2552 01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:51,840 Speaker 4: right now, all at one time. TJ whte hasn't been 2553 01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:55,120 Speaker 4: in I mean, that's a lot to navigate, just a 2554 01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,599 Speaker 4: lot a lot to manage, right. 2555 01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:00,320 Speaker 1: I think they make the playoffs. I really, I think 2556 01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,320 Speaker 1: there are a playoff TAM this year. We'll see what happens. Okay, 2557 01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:05,600 Speaker 1: I got another quarterback question for you, JJ McCarthy. Is 2558 01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:07,519 Speaker 1: he's going to be an upgrade over Sam Donald for 2559 01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:08,559 Speaker 1: the Vikings this year. 2560 01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:14,080 Speaker 4: Yes, he is JJ McCarthy's talented. He is athletic and 2561 01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:17,479 Speaker 4: mobile and people are sleeping on him because of the 2562 01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:19,800 Speaker 4: role that he played at Michigan. He was more of 2563 01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:24,400 Speaker 4: the game manager, the kaltaker. He wasn't the playmaker. But man, 2564 01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:26,320 Speaker 4: when you look at his game in big moments when 2565 01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:28,760 Speaker 4: they needed to throw it and let and be led 2566 01:54:28,840 --> 01:54:30,479 Speaker 4: by the quarterback, he made those plays. 2567 01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:32,680 Speaker 3: I'm just a believer in him, man. 2568 01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:35,360 Speaker 4: I think his talent is superior to that of Sam Donald, 2569 01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:39,240 Speaker 4: and he's a better player. I just think he's a 2570 01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:42,960 Speaker 4: better player than Sam Donald is and will be and 2571 01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:44,200 Speaker 4: will be for the Vikings. 2572 01:54:44,560 --> 01:54:46,520 Speaker 1: This could be an interesting story to follow though, see 2573 01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:48,800 Speaker 1: what happens over there with Minnesota. But with that, he 2574 01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,360 Speaker 1: is Bucky Brooks on Ady Fermer. We have Fox Sports 2575 01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:52,800 Speaker 1: Sunny of Fox Sports Radio. 2576 01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:55,400 Speaker 2: And it's that time.

Well, I got one for us, guys. 2598 01:55:56,920 --> 01:56:00,680 Speaker 5: So earlier in the weekend, it was reported that Lakers 2599 01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:03,120 Speaker 5: and Lebron James, then you know that little seemed to 2600 01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:05,800 Speaker 5: be heading toward divorce right. Well, earlier it was reported 2601 01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:09,040 Speaker 5: that apparently when the Lakers had sold to a Marc 2602 01:56:10,320 --> 01:56:12,400 Speaker 5: to the Dodgers, guy forget his name, Mark Clayton, I 2603 01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:14,000 Speaker 5: think is what it is either. 2604 01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:14,960 Speaker 9: Way when they sold it to him. 2605 01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:19,120 Speaker 5: So the Lakers told Fredford, having told Luca, hey, this 2606 01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:20,720 Speaker 5: is what's gonna happen. We just want to keep you 2607 01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:24,640 Speaker 5: in the no great. Apparently Lebron James did not get 2608 01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:28,640 Speaker 5: that same memo and they did not tell him prior 2609 01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:29,360 Speaker 5: to that happening. 2610 01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:34,200 Speaker 9: So with that said, who do you a blame Andy. 2611 01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:37,280 Speaker 1: Well, probably some stupid office clerk didn't send it to Lebron. 2612 01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:38,400 Speaker 1: But why should the blunt have to know? 2613 01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:38,839 Speaker 2: Anyway? 2614 01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:41,360 Speaker 1: Well, what is it going to affect him?
