1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You don't listening no Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh you left me for the super Bowl. So we

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: got things to talk about, we really do. We got

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: NFL stuff to talk about, and we will tonight. However,

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: we're right out about the start of the NBA All

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: Star Game. You're talking to two NBA heads, so we're

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: gonna dive into it right now.

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: Ephram Salaam. Good evening, and hello.

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 4: How you doing?

00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: Man? Good evening? And hello, Hi, Hi, how you doing?

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: Man good? How you doing?

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: Hey? I missed you last week. I'm all right.

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: I bet you can relate to this because you're a

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: human being. All human beings can relate to this. You

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: ever have one of those conversations where you're like, Okay,

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: good to see you, but it's probably time for me

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: to move on, and so you do that lean, you

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: know the lean, like I'm about to go this way

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: right right, man?

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: You know what? Look hey, all right, as you as

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: you're walking out of the conversation, you know.

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 2: What I mean, right, like I'm about to go get

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: some food, or like I do the lean, which means

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: it's a social cue. It's not necessarily like mean spirited

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: at all. It's just like, hey, good catching up about

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: to bounce. So here's Maline to let you know I'm

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: about to go.

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 4: I'm out.

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the problem. Have you all noticed, whether they

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: mean to or not, how many NBA players are doing

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: that to us constantly, constantly, and they don't mean to.

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: They might have a good reason. The problem with the

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: NBA right now cause it's biggest name who happens to

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: be forty years old, just went and did it again

35
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: an hour ago, which is, I don't know if you

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: have a good reason to not participate, not play load man,

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: whatever the hell you want to call it on a

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: night in a night out.

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: Basis, the message.

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: You're sending your audience is we don't want to be here.

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: And you from Salam are very big in entertainment in

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: multiple facets. You played football, you host radio, you write,

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: you produce, you do all of these different things in entertainment.

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: And when you work in entertainment, when you tell your

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: audience we're not having any fun and we really don't

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: want to be here, what on earth does the audience do.

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 4: Well? It depends Normally they tune out. But number one,

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: I'll say this speaking as a Laker fan who after

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: you know a fury of trades, and and this is

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 4: when the NBA season really starts, after trade deadline, after

51
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: All Star. They really keep records post those two things, right,

52
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: because that'll tell you who you are leading up into

53
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: the playoffs or to play in or whatever. Lebron James is,

54
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: you know, a Laker, and he is forty, and this

55
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: is his twenty first season and all of these things.

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: I didn't want him to play in the All Star

57
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: or whatever this is. I got you, So, okay, my man,

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: Rafael is a de Ray, it's my guy. I didn't

59
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: see the need for him to do that. I think

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: he needs to be rested and ready to go. Him

61
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: and Luca to carry this loge going down. This this

62
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: this final stretch, last twenty eight or so games, twenty

63
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: seven games, and so I'm okay with it. We've seen

64
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: stars not playing the All Star Game before. Now, at

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: least this tells us that this isn't Lebron James' last

66
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: year in the NBA, because it's no way he doesn't

67
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: play in his last All Star Game. Right, So at

68
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: least we got some information from him not suiting up

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: and playing. And look, I get it. At this point,

70
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: no one even knows what this thing is we're about

71
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: to see.

72
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: I don't know what's about to happen yet, and yeah, and.

73
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: So he's like, you know what, I think, I'm gonna

74
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: check it out. I'm gonna sit this one out and

75
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: see what happens, which I'm okay with. I really am.

76
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: Now all the talk about how to fix the game

77
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 4: and this and that and so on and so forth,

78
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: it's just easy. Just want to win and want the

79
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 4: other team not to win. That's how you fix the

80
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 4: All Star Game. You have to change the formats and

81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: you don't have to do all of this heavy lifting.

82
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: Just don't want the other team to win. That's simple.

83
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: And if players don't do that, then cancel it because

84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: why would they want If they don't care about the

85
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: All Star Game, why would they care about whatever this

86
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: is we're going to see for the first time.

87
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: I agree, And we've got three hours for that because

88
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: I think that this conversation may or may not evolve

89
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: based on what we see see full tonight.

90
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

91
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: If this is going to look better than last year.

92
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it could look any worse. But I

93
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: also before we leave Lebron, I bet you know what

94
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: my next response is going.

95
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: To be, because you can be cool with.

96
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: The fact that he's sitting out, And you're right, we've

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: seen stars sit out All Star Games and Pro Bowls

98
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: and all of that before, but you know what, we

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: haven't really seen much of Somebody announced it an hour

100
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: before Tip, that's absurd, Like, I'm sorry, unless you really

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: pulled up lame this morning in your workout, unless that happened, which,

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: let's be real, bet it didn't, because the BET's going

103
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: to play next Friday when the Lakers start playing again.

104
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: What on earth did you do?

105
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: And again, Ephrom's none of this is ever like I

106
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: did a whole thing on Friday in the Bay Area.

107
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: With regard to Steph Curry not participating in the three

108
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: point contest, what a weird deal, Like it's in his

109
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: building and he didn't participate in the three point contest,

110
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 2: which takes no energy at all, Like literally takes none,

111
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: And so it's not even that. Look, they're Steph and Lebron.

112
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: They don't need to give more to the game than

113
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: they've already given. I'm not mad at them. I'm just

114
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: scratching my head because you're both entertainers and as a

115
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: global game.

116
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: That they say it is. I don't understand how.

117
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: You can continue to send this messaging to your customer.

118
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: We don't want to be here, like it would be

119
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: like you and me, who get to do.

120
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: This for a living being my uh.

121
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't really like sports and Ephraim I played golf

122
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: today and I'm kind of tired. You know, could use

123
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: a shower, some time with the kids. I really wish

124
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: we didn't have to do this tonight.

125
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god. If I ever sound like that, I

126
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: hope the audience comes through.

127
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Twitter and strangles me, like, come on, man, you can

128
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: skip or find different ways to do things without constantly

129
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: bombarding your audience with we don't care and we don't

130
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: want to do this.

131
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: I just think it's very dangerous. Man.

132
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: You keep telling the entertainment audience that you don't want

133
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: to do it, they'll say, neither do we.

134
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know. In terms of viewership for

135
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: the All Star Game, I mean it's been on the

136
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: steady decline. So they're talking.

137
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: About but we're talking about more than the All Star Game.

138
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: We're talking about all the games.

139
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: Well, what do't happen is what we do know, and

140
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: history shows us this now this second half of the season,

141
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: viewership picks up, right. NFL is going away, College is

142
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: winding down. It'll be in a tournament format, so there'll

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: be time and schedule of games. So the NBA for

144
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: baseball hasn't started yet, so the NBA viewership will pick

145
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 4: up it like it always does. Right, So you know,

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: you may not capture new fans, but you're going to

147
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: capture the fans. And of course with the new rights

148
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: deal and all of that, the game is going global.

149
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: So you got whole country stand up watching these games.

150
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: And you know what those numbers are. Remember y'all mean

151
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: when he was voted as a starter in the All

152
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 4: Star Game. It's hard to compete with a billion people

153
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: voting for one person, right, And that was before you

154
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 4: could probably even watch games in China legally. And so

155
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: now we're at a precipice where the NBA is becoming

156
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: a global brand more so than the NFL is trying

157
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: to do because they have global stars. The NFL does

158
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 4: not have global stars. And so all of France is

159
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: watching all of Serbia, all of you know, Slovenia, and

160
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: you know this is a global brand. All of this

161
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 4: matters when it comes to viewership, and so it's one

162
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: of those things where the NBA has been here before

163
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: in terms of we know when people are going to watch.

164
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: The NBA would rather Steph and Lebron be rested for

165
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: the second half of the season as well.

166
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because I like you sound almost more

167
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: calm about this than they do themselves. Like Adam Silver

168
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: has been out everywhere talking about how luck we're in

169
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: embarrassed by last year's All Star Game.

170
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: We know we need to switch it.

171
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: We're embarrassed right now with the way people are consuming

172
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: this product. We're going to consider ten minute quarters. I mean,

173
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: he's been out in the public openly discussing the fact

174
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: that the NBA's popularity seems to be slipping. And so

175
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to argue what you're saying, which is

176
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: that more people might show up this time of year,

177
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: the games matter more and there's no football, and that's wonderful.

178
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: But I'm sort of looking more at the view from

179
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: ten thousand feet Ephraim, and I don't think that the

180
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: NBA is in perfect health number one and number two.

181
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: Even if it was, I'd still say what I'm saying.

182
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: Don't be an entertainer and tell your audience, yeah, really

183
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: not interested in being here, Like your job is fun,

184
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: Your job is amazing. Our job is fun. It's amazing.

185
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: I want to be here. I want to be here

186
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: talking this out with you for the next three hours.

187
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: It's fun to me. And if the audience can't pick

188
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: up on that, then I'm not.

189
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: Doing a good job.

190
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: And so this isn't even just Lebron skips the All

191
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: Star Game where there's load management here or there.

192
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: I pointed it out. I'll give you another example, Steve Kerr.

193
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: The other night, the Warriors lost kind of a squeaker

194
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 2: heartbreaker in Dallas, and for TV reasons, it was an

195
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: eight forty five local time tip.

196
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: And this was on Wednesday night.

197
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: Thursday night they played in Houston, so they had to

198
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: finish their game at like eleven thirty at night in.

199
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: Dallas, then get on a plane and we heard over

200
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: it all.

201
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: It gonna be it's three in the morning when we

202
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: get to the hotel, and I don't know if any

203
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: of my veterans are going to be able to play

204
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: and all of this stuff.

205
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 3: And I'm like, similar to you, Ephrom, Steve Kerr has

206
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: a point.

207
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: I still don't think fans want to hear it, because

208
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: all that's happening is you're bombarding the fan with the

209
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: idea that we don't want.

210
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: To play, right.

211
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it, that's all they hear.

212
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: I get your point. I get your point. And you know,

213
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: if you have a product, the last thing you want

214
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: to do is make people not want to see it

215
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: or or questioned if they should see it. But look,

216
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: the NBA is a war of attrition. It's eighty two games.

217
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: There's a lot at stake. There's a lot of movement

218
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: that happened, more so than ever before, I believe, and

219
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: that the size of these trades that happened this past

220
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 4: you know, three weeks leading up to the trade deadline

221
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: and into the All Star Game. So the excitement, just

222
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 4: think about this. The whole week of Super Bowl, all

223
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: people could talk about, whole week of leading up to

224
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: the game, all people could talk about was the NBA

225
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: and the trades that were made. That's pretty good. That's

226
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: pretty good, no doubt. They thought I thought they stole

227
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. They did, and.

228
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: So we talked about the Chiefs and the Eagles at all.

229
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: And so with that, you now people want to see

230
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: all those trades and all those things, how do they

231
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: match what's going on, who's playing where and how they're playing.

232
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 4: And so that's where we are going into the second

233
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: half of the season. So I think the NBA this

234
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: year is in a good place because they did steal

235
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: that buzz. They did hijack the biggest moment in NFL

236
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: during the season, and it was hijacked. Now, I did

237
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: a lot of shows and did a lot of hits

238
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: and talked a lot of NBA and I played in

239
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, So it's a real thing. I think

240
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 4: the NBA has positioned itself to have a sensational second

241
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 4: half leading into the playoffs. And you know when you

242
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 4: have a marque player moved to a Marquee brand man,

243
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: you know, and so a lot of new faces, not

244
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: of new places, a lot of old faces trying to

245
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: figure out stay relevant. I'm excited about it. I think

246
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: the fans are excited about it. And so we're gonna

247
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: We're gonna buckle up and see how this think ask

248
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: for this game. This game was already lost no matter what.

249
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: So whether Lebron played or anybody played, the people who

250
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: were gonna watch, we're gonna watch. They weren't watching for Lebron.

251
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 4: They were watching to see what this new format is

252
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: and if it's not good, they'll go turn to something else.

253
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I would argue that format looks a lot

254
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: lesser without him, But maybe that's not even the real

255
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: thing we should be discussing. In fact, Draymond Green just

256
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: made two very big statements on TNT within the last

257
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: hour and a half, and one of them was directed

258
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: at Lebron. We'll let you know exactly what that is.

259
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we're broadcasting line from the tiraq dot

279
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: from Salam So it really wasn't just Draymond Green. I

280
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: mean it was a whole list.

281
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: Quote.

282
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: I think Brown could have helped somebody else out and

283
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: said this earlier, Vince Carter and I quote, there are

284
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: a lot of guys who are worthy. Jalen Rose quote

285
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: he took a roster spot from somebody. If you're just

286
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: joining us. Lebron James will not participate in the All

287
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: Star Game and just announced it about an hour and

288
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: a half ago. And that's the response of the NBA media.

289
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: Some of them are still active players, some of them

290
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: are his good friends. I mean, for me, that's the

291
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: one that's a total head scratcher and really kind of

292
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: indefensible unless something awful happen this morning. I don't understand

293
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: how Lebron James can back out of the Sports Global celebration,

294
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: and furthermore, how he can do it literally a handful

295
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: of minutes before it starts.

296
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

297
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have liked him to, you know, maybe

298
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: do it, you know Friday, that would have been great.

299
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 4: But I'm not mad that he did. So that's what

300
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: I get it. I get it as a Laker fan.

301
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: I'm with you where I'm like, I really don't.

302
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't need my favorite players performing outside of the

303
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: games that matter to me the most. I fully understand that.

304
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: But the part about the part about announcing it just

305
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: this afternoon.

306
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: That's that's wild unacceptable, unacceptable. But like I said, okay,

307
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: you can't even you can't even take your glasses off

308
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 4: because we did some things. Uh, you know, this thing

309
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 4: might shake out a little bit before it So you

310
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: think you think you think in the hut, don't you. Yeah, man, Yeah,

311
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: so we'll see. I don't know.

312
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: I got you. I got you what I'm coming from.

313
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 4: I like our chances given Anthony Davis being hurt for

314
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: guy knows, I don't remember he had injured that that

315
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: abdominal muscle, the trainer or the abductor prior to the trade,

316
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: so that, you know, I would have felt a lot

317
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 4: less optimistic if that was the even though the Lakers

318
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 4: were playing extremely well without him, I'll just throw that

319
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 4: out there. They were rolls.

320
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: And and and I'm not gonna, like, you know, start

321
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: making judgments about this. I think Lucas played what two games,

322
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: and uh and one of them was a double digit

323
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: loss to the Jazz. Like I don't I don't know

324
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: with that whole the smaller trade for Williams that got overturned.

325
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 4: I just.

326
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: I still don't know who's who's protecting the rim for

327
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers. I wonder like star power, Yes, the Western

328
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: Conference fell a certain way.

329
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 4: I think, is anybody go inside anymore?

330
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 3: I mean, if you if you let him.

331
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. But look, but what I'm really saying is in

332
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: today's NBA, well we're we're hyper critical on the amount

333
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: of three pointers being shot. When you talk about rim protector,

334
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: is it like, well, other team outside of Memphis has

335
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 4: a rim protector in the West.

336
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: Well, I would like even though he's not.

337
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 4: You can't say I can't see, don't do it.

338
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. I was gonna say Denver.

339
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: He's not even in the key on defense? No, no, Chotte.

340
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: Hey, those are and I know you mentioned only the

341
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 2: West those not being the only ones who matter. Boston

342
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: Cleveland are phenomenal defense.

343
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if we get there, then we've done with

344
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: If we there, then we got right. So that and

345
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 4: then you get a finals Lebron and the finals Luca

346
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 4: NBA Finals, those are two different animals. I don't care

347
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 4: who you got protecting the rim.

348
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: Right, But but like, I don't know why you dismiss

349
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City like that is that's the best defensive team.

350
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: Yes, they in the NBA, right, They're not protecting the

351
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: rim because it's not what's his name, Hogm, it's not

352
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: Chet Hungram.

353
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: Well, no, no, no, no no, and he just got

354
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: back anyway.

355
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: Yes, got back.

356
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: They've amassed a wonderful defensive rating without it, they.

357
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: Don't even do centers anymore. They just just positionless. Yeah, basketball,

358
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 4: But I I get what you're saying because Anthony Davis

359
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 4: is such a huge defensive end offensive threat.

360
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: And Houston is a very good defensive team, and right

361
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: now that might be who the Lakers see first.

362
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I take that. I'll take I take that.

363
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 2: I know you would and I would pick you in that,

364
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: But I just listen, every round is a different matchup,

365
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: and you are.

366
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 3: If you don't offer.

367
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: Anything down there, then yes, I think even in today's

368
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: day and age, teams will go down there if you

369
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: promise not to stop it.

370
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 3: They will.

371
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: Like my guy, Shannon Sharp says, Houston H town, I

372
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: don't care if you got h town, your town, my town,

373
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: small town, legas and five.

374
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: Man feeling yourself for a team that.

375
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 4: Look, I'm being I'm being getting with optimism. Okay, just

376
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 4: like when I look across my studio and I can

377
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: look in the window of the update uh area, he

378
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 4: has his own special update with drawn curtains and incense

379
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 4: and mood lighting, I'm being optimistic. So when I look

380
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: in there and I see him put those heads phones on,

381
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:08,280

Speaker 6: By the way, that's not incense, that's just barbecue. Lebron

Speaker 2: commercial break, bro, I rock upstairs because I got to

465
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: go to the refrigerator because that's what I do during

466
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: a break. So I head upstairs and my little man,

467
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: who's turning eleven on Tuesday, happy birthday. Yeah, yeah, he's

468
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: sitting there and he watching something on YouTube.

469
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 3: I don't even know what it was.

470
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: And I said, hey, aren't you I just wanna watch

471
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: the All Star game And he looks at me, He's like, well,

472
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: I mean, when's it start. And I'm like, well, they're

473
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: doing intros right now, so it's gonna start soon, a

474
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: little bit of a new form. He goes, yeah, I know,

475
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: I heard about the new format. He goes, Dad, they

476
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: don't try.

477
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 3: That's it there, it is.

478
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 2: Like, and Adam Silver doesn't need to hear that from

479
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 2: me or or or my soon to be eleven year old.

480
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: That's the deal. That's the deal.

481
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: If you can't get starry eyed kids in on this,

482
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: then what are we doing?

483
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: Wasting time?

484
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: What are we doing? You know it's not for you

485
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: and me? It like the stars are out and I'm

486
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: telling you this right now. You want to you want

487
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: the NBA to really stop and listen because I've got

488
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: two boys who are huge sports fans. Actually my daughter

489
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: is too, but not so much. Like she loves football

490
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: but in the Pro Bowl doesn't even exist. So here's

491
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: what you need to know. The NBA All Star Game

492
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: is tonight and they couldn't give a rip, but you

493
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: know what, they do love and they will sit down

494
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: and watch and they will watch and they will watch

495
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: you know what, the Major League Baseball All Star Game?

496
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: Really yes, yes, because.

497
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 2: They're into the home run derby and The derby is

498
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: sort of like the Dunk Contest, if.

499
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: You will, for the NBA.

500
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: And you know who participates in the derby actual baseball players.

501
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: That's right.

502
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: They pull people from the rosters of actual baseball teams

503
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: who you've heard of mostly and then they hit home runs.

504
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: It's crazy thought, just me thought it pointed out.

505
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, I just never got into the baseball like

506
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: All Star because it's on a weekday.

507
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: So it's kind of what you got against Tuesday.

508
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: Man, it seems weird to put a festive occasion on

509
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: a Tuesday. Hm hmm, but I get it.

510
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: My my son's birthdays on Tuesday. We're going to have

511
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: a wonderful time.

512
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: When and when is it that baseball? When is the

513
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: All Star Game? Normally it's in July, in July. Yeah,

514
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: on a on a Tuesday in July. Yeah, it seems weird.

515
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: On Monday is the home run Derby though, that's yeah, weird.

516
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 4: That wouldn't fit on a Saturday, perhaps.

517
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: Well that's uh, that's when they're actually playing real games

518
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: on Saturdays. Yeah, yeah, that's you know, that's when people

519
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: are available to come out to the yard.

520
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, plan a trips hard to plan a

521
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 4: trip during the week. Someone who has a regular job.

522
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 4: They want to come in poor take some of the

523
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: festivities got to take on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

524
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep my mind wide open. But the early returns.

525
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 4: It's not good. This looks this is awful. This is awful.

526
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: This is even worse.

527
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: They are all this is worse.

528
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: Yes, they're watching each other score. It's already twelve to nine.

529
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: We've already seen an ale oop to no One. It

530
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 4: wasn't anybody there bounds.

531
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: The good news is I actually I can see one difference.

532
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if this counts to you, but Nicola

533
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: Jokicic is out there on the floor right now, and he.

534
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: Moved, Yeah, barely.

535
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: I saw him.

536
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: Nobody did. Last year, he didn't move. He stood at

537
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: half court and watched it. He was eating popcorn last year.

538
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: This year, here I saw him move.

539
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah he did. He actually had a layup. He did

540
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: a layup.

541
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: Heh He even moved on defense, he faked like he

542
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: was gonna try to block a shot.

543
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: Karl Anthony Towns with another thirty five foot three, Oh.

544
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: God, seven, don't encourage that guy.

545
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: No one's dunked to basketball yet But okay, well, at

546
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: least in the other at least in the other game

547
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: they were giving you know, highlight type dunks. Now it's

548
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 4: just highlight type threes. Look, when we come back from

549
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: this break, let's talk about the totality of All Star

550
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: weekend and how I feel about it.

551
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: If you want to get loose on something, that's that's

552
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: what I do want to get all right, Okay, then

553
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 2: then right here in the tyrack dot com studios, that

554
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: is next with e from Salam, Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio.

555
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: Don't listen to Fox Sports Radio.

556
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: Radio tyrack dot Com studios.

557
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: We can't even play the Draymond Green cut fast enough

558
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: to keep up with whenever there's a new one. So

559
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: he said something about the Warriors, and then he said

560
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: something about a future job for him. We get to

561
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: all of it at the top of the hour in

562
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: these tyrock dot Com studios, Mark Willity from Salaam. But

563
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: right now, Ephraim, Yeah, you said you got something off

564
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: your chest or you got something on your chest.

565
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: Don't think we should get off. We should get.

566
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: Off just about the All Star weekend. And I'm sure

567
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: people have wax poetic and guys of our ilk and

568
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: our age. Remember when it was a glorious time to

569
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: watch stars competing, stars competing, and so over the years,

570
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 4: the dunk contest has suffered out, you know, a couple

571
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: of outliers in there, and so on and so forth,

572
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 4: and it became the skills competition. They need to burn

573
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: the whole thing down. That thing is just rubbish, accented

574
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: by the fact that Chris Paul, one of the oldest

575
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: players in the league, and Wimby, one of the youngest

576
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 4: players in the league, decided to want to cheat their

577
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: way through the skills competition, which just blew my mind,

578
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 4: and then argued when they got disqualified out of control.

579
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 4: But you know, the saving grace had been, I guess

580
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 4: the three point competition because that was really the only

581
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 4: real competition in terms of seeing a dynamic art form.

582
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 4: But the state of the NBA in the way games

583
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: are played now, I was watching the three point competition

584
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 4: and didn't care because I'm so desensitized to the level

585
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: of threes and the amount of threes that are shot

586
00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 4: in the NBA, where shooting three point shot was a specialty,

587
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 4: everybody shoots it now and so it's lost some of

588
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 4: its luster. When we get to the three point competition,

589
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 4: Boston shoots fifty a game average of fifty. Some games,

590
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 4: they shoot sixty some games they shoot seventy, which is

591
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 4: crazy talk. But what it's done is it's taken away

592
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 4: the dynamicness of what that was. And when Larry Bird

593
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 4: left a hand up right, you have guys who don't

594
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 4: start in the three point competition and it's like, oh, okay,

595
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 4: is this what we're here for? And shout out to

596
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 4: the only one Brights spot the last three years of

597
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: the Dunk Contest and he's not even on an NBA

598
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 4: roster for real. He makes more money in the Dunk

599
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: Contest than he's ever made actually playing basketball. And the

600
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: NBA should be a shame of themselves. So ball this

601
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 4: whole weekend up, including whatever this garbage is that we're

602
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: watching now, and throw it out the window. If you

603
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 4: don't have pride in your work, then don't do your work.

604
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 4: Announce the All Star All Star All Stars, and let

605
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 4: everybody go on vacation for six days and then come

606
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 4: back fresh, refreshed and ready to go. That's what I

607
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 4: would say. I would say that let everybody go take

608
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 4: a break so we can really hammer in coming down

609
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: the stretch of the NBA season. But doing this, nobody

610
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 4: wants to be We don't want to watch it, and

611
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 4: it literally is insulting to a fan of the sport.

612
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 4: Matt McClung is a three the only, the only three

613
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 4: time All Star Dunk Competition champion and he doesn't even

614
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 4: play in the NBA. Why and how did we get here?

615
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 3: Yea, what are we doing?

616
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 4: Thank you Lebron James. That's where it started, and that's

617
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 4: where I'm pointing to blame to. And this started when

618
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 4: a eighteen year old Lebron James didn't want to play

619
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 4: dunk in the Dunk Contest. A nineteen year old Lebron

620
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 4: a twenty leader. You know what to save the Dunk

621
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 4: Contest this year? If Lebron James was in it?

622
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: Oh god, yes, but he's not gonna do that.

623
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what else would have saved that? You

624
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 4: know what else would have saved it if Zion and

625
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 4: Jama Rent were in it or Jannis.

626
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: Now hold up, uh do you call bs because this game,

627
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: as you know, this is in the bay. So we're

628
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 2: here and I've got some moles on the scene who

629
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: are telling me that tonight before the game. There was

630
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: a healthy bit of joking around, but that kind of

631
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: joking where you're like, I can't tell if they're serious

632
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: from some of the very big names in the sport

633
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: saying that they were going to be in the Dunk

634
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: Contest next year, and John was one of them.

635
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: Jannis was another one.

636
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 4: The NBA can solve this by just paying the players

637
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 4: to play it to be in the Thank You Listen Live,

638

Speaker 3: I am buying it.

641
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 2: We had this conversation my partner Dan Dibbley and I

642
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 2: during the week in the Bay Area had this conversation, Uh,

643

645
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 2: fell through.

646
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: Ah, they didn't want to do it, and people are like,

647
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 3: I can't believe they don't want to do it.

648
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't believe the NBA didn't make them

649
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: do it by making them an offer they can't refuse

650
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 2: if they want. Caitlyn Clark and everyone's like, oh, Kaitlyn

Speaker 2: You can love what she did, but the bottom line

659
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: is is there's no platform that would have ever been

660
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: bigger if you could have gotten n Escus, Steph, get

661

Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark, get another NBA player or two in there.

662
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 3: Dame Lillard could have been in. He's from Oakland.

663
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: He could be doing it in Oaklan, and while Steph's

664
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 2: doing it at Chase Center or whatever. Have them on

665
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: a split screen, like, where is the NBA's sense of entertainment?

666

Speaker 3: money in.

678
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,200

Speaker 3: They did it for the NBA Cup.

680
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly what they put the money in the bag.

681
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: I don't get it. I don't get it, and they aren't.

682
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,040

683
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,239

Speaker 2: gonna get to the Draymond stuff, but hold everything from

698
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: Look when these teams were drafted, like a week ago,

699
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 2: shot Chuck Kenny. They're drafting all the teams and I'm like, okay,

700
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 2: Like if you're watching it unfold as it's happening, they're like, yeah,

701
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: you watch them make their selections and they all make

702
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: sense individually. Then it ends and you look at the

703
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: collective and I don't know if you did this, but

704
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 2: I did this.

705
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 3: I looked at the collective and I went, oh, oh, I.

706
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: See what you're doing. You didn't all just draft players

707
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: that you wanted. You just drafted the players that the

708
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: NBA told you to draft so that they can create

709
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: the right storyline so that Shack and Chuck, the two

710
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: biggest personalities on TNT, can both be the coaches when

711
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: we get to the end, and you will have an

712
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: interesting battle of young versus old. Shack's team has Steph

713
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: Lebron and kd. Chuck's team has Jokic, Shay, Gilgis, and Wemby.

714
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: It's also what the three biggest names for America versus

715
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: the three biggest names for the world except for Giannis.

716
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 3: But you get my point.

717
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: It was very easy to see to me that that's

718
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 2: where it was going.

719
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 7: I was open minded to the idea that I was

720
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 7: wrong until I just watched Chuck's team play Kenny's team

721
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 7: and have Kenny's team lead for about two thirds of

722
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 7: the game.

723
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 3: And then lo and behold, they got the turnover bug.

724
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you know it?

725
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: Wild Kenny's team got the turnover bug, but you know

726
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 2: what bug, they didn't catch the defense bug.

727
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: So literally, when when Chuck's team needs one.

728
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 2: More bucket to win, they buttoned up hard and watched

729
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: a guard run right all of them yep, oh laid him,

730
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: helped usher him up, lay up dunk ballgame.

731
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 3: Chucks team moves on, give me a break.

732
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, this might be harder to watch because at least

733
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 4: in the previous iteration of the All Star Game, there

734
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: were a lot of dunks, lots of dunks, right, lobs

735
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 4: and guys were just it was basically a you know,

736
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: a layup line. Now it's just all threes.

737
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 3: Yep.

738
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 4: So I think it was like two dunks, maybe three

739
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 4: dunks in that entire however long that took. And so

740
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 4: now you've really taken the excitement of at least seeing

741
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 4: somebody dunk. I mean, everybody can shoot, And I'm saying

742
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 4: everybody can shoot, like not everybody in the world can

743
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 4: dunk a basketball, but everybody can shoot, whether you make

744
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 4: it or not, that's what I mean. So I'm like, Okay,

745
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 4: now they've made it words to watch, and it's gonna

746
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 4: take forever.

747
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, now we've got a break between games, and

748
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: actually we're watching something that might be one of the

749
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: more entertaining things, at least on paper, that I've seen

750
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: this weekend.

751
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 3: And it's Dame.

752
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 2: Lillard about five feet beyond the three point arc.

753
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 3: Going against somebody named Jaren.

754
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: It's just like a dude with glasses and a T

755
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: shirt and the game, right, can Jaren hit.

756
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 3: One three before Dame hits three threes?

757
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 2: Jaren is oh for two? Make him oh for three.

758
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 2: Dame has hit his first and so now Dame will

759
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: shoot again and he misses again. So Jaren's got at

760
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: least two more shots at one hundred g's. I gotta

761
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 2: admit it. From a cut into this.

762
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 8: Just hit it, oh, Jared, Yeah, yeah, Jaren, Jaren has

763
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 8: got to hit this one or else Dame is going

764
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 8: to have an opportunity to knock him out.

765
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 4: Now, you know it would be great right here, You

766
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 4: just look at it, right right right before he shot this,

767
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 4: if the lights went off and Steph Curry ran out

768
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 4: there and was like, I got this for you now

769
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: right well there he is now yeah, yeah, like if

770
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 4: the lights went it all went off and no d

771
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 4: miss Jared's.

772
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 3: Got another shot from God.

773
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 2: Sharon's got a mullet and glasses and I'm sorry, I'm

774
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 2: into it.

775
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 4: First of all, they shouldn't be shooting from the same spot.

776
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 4: Doesn't that That doesn't seem fair, does it, Sharon?

777

Speaker 3: Jared?

778
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 4: Does it seem fair that Jared has to that Jared

779
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 4: has to shoot this from the same spot as Damian Lillard.

780
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 2: He's only got to hit one two shots ago.

781
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 3: You got it?

Speaker 4: He hit he picked up the magnet ball.

784
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 2: No, Jared's just like a real NBA player. Now he

00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: went one for eight and made und grand.

00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: Tell me this isn't the most entertaining.

797
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 4: Moment of the nights is the most entertaining. It's sad

798
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 4: and entertaining at the same time.

799
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 3: Jaren Jarring is He's one hundred thousand areas.

Speaker 3: I don't know. You've ever been to an amusement park?

Speaker 4: Money and everywhere else you don't want to put your

808
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,160

00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

810
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 2: Anyway, Shocker Chuck's team is in. Uh, you've got my prediction.

811
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: Shocks team is going to beat the Rising Stars. Just

812
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: my prediction, Aphraim.

813
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a pretty good prediction.

814
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: That's all. That's my prediction.

815
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 4: So we really have to go through three two more

816
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 4: of those, two more.

817
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 3: Of these, two more of these. Yeah, but wait to wait.

818
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: Do you see what they're going to do in between

819
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: the next two?

820
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right.

821
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: Here's the Daytona for Yeah. I don't know, I think that.

822
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: Are they still waiting for the President to get around

823
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 2: the track?

824
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 3: I don't know.

825
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: No, he did, he did a laugh. He's going to

826
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: go to every major sporting event.

827
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 3: For the rest of it.

828
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 4: He's going to be the NBA All Star Game.

829
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 3: He's like, we'll go to Daytona.

830
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, well little bit too.

831
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: Wait wait, the NBA All Star Game in San Francisco.

832
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough sale right there.

833
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:42,479
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

834
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of a tough cell, apparently Draymond Green thinks

835
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: that the Warriors are now going to win it all.

836
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: Let's win I don't know, let's find out. This is

837
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 2: from TNT earlier today, here's day day.

838
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 3: We're going to win the championship.

839
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 5: Oh god, say that one more time than everybody.

840
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: Because they added Jimmy Bullet a third.

841
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 4: So I'm sorry. I said, I think we're gonna win

842
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 4: a championship, and I lie, we are going to win the.

843
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: Champion Okay from so, tough break for you and your Lakers,

844
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: because there it is.

845
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 3: That is that is ring number five for Draymond and

846
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 3: Steph m.

847
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 4: That's not gonna work.

848
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: Well we could use this to, like, I would love

849
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,959
Speaker 2: to get your reassessment of the Western Conference with these

850
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: headlines now as reality. Okay, yes, number one Luca is

851
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: a Laker. Number two Anthony Davis is a Maverick.

852
00:49:58,640 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 3: But hurt.

853
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: Number three, Jimmy Butler's a warrior. Number four, darreon Fox

854
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 2: is not on the Kings. Number five the Phoenix Suns

855
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 2: locker room has completely dissolved into air, and I think

856
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 2: I would add number six the Houston Rockets are starting

857
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: to look young, and number seven Chet Holmgren is back.

858
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 3: So now give me your lay of the land in

859
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 3: the Western Conference.

860
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 4: I'd say, Okay, see stays at the top.

861
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 3: Well, that's it. I mean they have an eight game lead. Yes,

862
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna be the one.

863
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 4: But I think the Lakers can get themselves to two.

864
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: Ooh, you think that they can pass Denver.

865
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 4: I think they can pass Denver, the team that's won

866
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 4: eight in a row. Yep, I think they can.

867
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: And they're the Nugget yep champions Jimpions little less.

868
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 3: Than two years ago.

869
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, I think.

870
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 3: Damn dude, I get there. I can't. I can't dismiss it.

871
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I talked to you two

872
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: weeks ago tonight, right after this deal it happened, and

873
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 2: while you were excited, I think there was at least

874
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: a healthy bit of like, I wonder what this is

875
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: going to look like in the short term. Now, we've

876
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 2: seen very little of it. When we did see it,

877
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: they looked, Eh, they lost to the Jazz.

878
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: Was any any game right before the All Star break? Good?

879
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 3: I hear you, I hear you. That's fair.

880
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 4: That weird Jazz by forty two nights prior a.

881
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 3: Lot of weird stuff that week.

882
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 2: There's no doubt the Minnesota Timberwolves lost a home game

883
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: against the Bucks, and Lillard and Giannis weren't playing, So yeah,

884
00:51:58,600 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 2: weird stuff.

885
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 4: I'll gree checking out there. But prior to the checkout.

886
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 2: But you're where is this level of optimism coming from?

887
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 3: We haven't seen it yet.

888
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 4: I know because, like I said, the way the Lakers

889
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 4: were playing without Anthony Davis, their actual defensive efficiency see rolls.

890
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 4: Because of having Drian Finney Smith now with the team

891
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 4: a little bit longer. Now having Vanderbilt back, now we

892
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 4: get Kyle Reddish back. These are all very long, six

893
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 4: to eight wing defenders in the league that loves to

894
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 4: shoot threes. So now the rotation defensively is on par

895
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 4: with being able to run people off the line, give

896
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 4: them tough contested shots and rebound. The thing I like

897
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 4: about Vanderbilt and it took him two years to be

898
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 4: ready to play. But okay, is he's one of the

899
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 4: few people that actively, no matter where he is on

900
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 4: the court, will go get a rebound. When you have

901
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 4: players that do things that no one does anymore, you

902
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to separate yourself. And when you have

903
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 4: two of the most dynamic scores and facilitators with the ball.

904
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen Luca take his team into the

905
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 4: playoffs and deep into the playoffs. We've seen him and

906
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 4: Kyrie take the team to the conference, to the conference

907
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 4: finals and then to the NBA Finals just last year.

908
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 4: And so having that level of of of I mean

909
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 4: that is that's a tier quality. That's all NBA and

910
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 4: the back And so to me, now Austin Reeves can

911
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 4: be a three, right, a true three, and I love

912
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 4: that in terms of who we're counting on. He doesn't

913
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 4: have to be. He's not a true point guard. He

914
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 4: was just a Lakers point guard. And I said the

915
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 4: Lakers needed a point guard to shift Austin back over

916
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,959
Speaker 4: to shooting guard. So now he won't have these long

917
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 4: droughts on these short threes because he's had to have

918
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 4: the ball in his hands so much. You do get tired.

919
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 4: You know that when you were creating. He doesn't have

920
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 4: to create for himself anymore. Luca is going to alleviate

921
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 4: a lot of that. And of course Lebron is playing

922
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 4: like a mad man. And so that is where my

923
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 4: optimism comes from.

924
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 2: Your list of teams in the West that could actually

925
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 2: end up in the finals is.

926
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 4: I can see Lakers, I can see, I can see.

927
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 2: Come on, man, it ain't that hard to come up

928
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: with a second one, Like good lord, I mean like,

929
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 2: come on, legitimize yourself, like come on.

930
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 4: I can see. Okay, see, thank you, and maybe possibly

931
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 4: I can see Denver again.

932
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: Just yes, that's it. That's your list list. Oh so

933
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 2: not the Warriors, No? What No, not the not the Grizzlies,

934

935
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 2: healthy Anthony Davis.

936
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 4: Uh, that's that's a bit much. Don't you think I'm

937
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 4: checking it?

938
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 3: But like it was crazy last year and it happened.

939
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is different and this made be a

940
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 4: result of last year.

941
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 3: Huh. That sounds like a homer take to me.

942
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 4: Uh duh. Look, if it's one thing, if it's one thing,

943
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 4: I am is I'm honest to a fault. Okay, it

944
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 4: sounds like it sounds like a homer, because I am

945
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 4: a homer.

946
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 2: He said, I can see Lakers, and then it was

947
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 2: like fifteen seconds went by.

948
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 4: Not quite.

949
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 3: You can't even I can't even come up with a

950
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 3: second one. Mark, I don't know.

951
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 4: I forgot who was actually in the Western Conference. I'm sorry.

952
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: Oh my guys, that was amazing.

953
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Draymond made another wild statement though,

954
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: and this one might.

955
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 3: Be even more interesting.

956
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,440

Speaker 4: can do. Don't connect connect floor baby got him back

971
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 4: in the fold.

972
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if he's terribly happy.

973
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 4: About it, don't matter. You better suck it up. Rookie.

974
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 3: Remember when this happened to Lamarrow and he was.

975
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, but Lamorrow and they had won championships already.

976
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 4: You know, I got you. He's a rookie. They get

977
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 4: out of here with Dan struggling in the post, Kevin

978
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 4: Durant guarding him. What world are we living in?

979
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 3: That was? That was a tough shot. That was a

980
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 3: tough look.

981
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he all you had to do was just take

982
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 4: one power dribble and put Kevin Durant in the ram.

983
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: I would like to get your reaction to this. This

984
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 2: was an interesting conversation as part of the build up

985
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: to the festivities tonight the NBA on T n T

986
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 2: and listen to the comparison that gets made and then

987
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 2: the conversation goes in a very surprising direction.

988
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 3: Listen to this.

989
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 6: There's no way that I could coach ever in the

990
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 6: history of w'd be like Draymond coaching, like the wow.

991
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: Me.

992
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 2: You're offering God state word.

993
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 3: You didn't think you suck? I just don't you could

994
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 3: enjoy it? Did you catch what he said there in

995
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 3: the background.

996
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 4: He already been offered the Golden Warriors coach, but he'd.

997
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 3: Been offered the Warriors job.

998
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 2: When I'm done, muh listen, I want to help everybody

999
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 2: out here with a little bit of expertise.

1000
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 3: The All Star Game is in the Bay Area.

1001
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 2: And that comment right there, that just became tomorrow's lead story.

1002
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: Promise.

1003
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: That just jumped everything that's going to happen this weekend.

1004
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 3: That just jumped it.

1005
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: Because the dynamic is this, The Warriors have set up

1006
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 2: everybody's contracts to essentially align with Steph Curry. Steph Curry's

1007
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: got two more years after this one. Jimmy Butler's now

1008
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 2: got two more years after this one. Draymond technically has

1009
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 2: an option year that goes a year longer. But whatever

1010
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 2: that can dissolve into nothingness. And guess who else also

1011
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 2: aligned his extension with Steph Curry see Kerr And I

1012
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 2: will tell you, as somebody who has him on my

1013
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 2: show every week, when you listen to him talk, you

1014
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: absolutely get the vibe that those two years will be it.

1015
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 3: That's it.

1016
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 2: He not coaching the post Steph Warriors. So I guess

1017
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 2: my first question to you is do you buy it?

1018
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: Do you buy what?

1019
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 4: What?

1020
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 3: Draymond said.

1021
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure they've talked about it. Sure, I'm sure. Now

1022
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was an official offer, but

1023
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure him and Steve were talking and it was like,

1024
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 4: you know, Dre, you can coach this thing after you know,

1025
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 4: when you're done two years ago.

1026
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: The man this, this man punched a teammate two years ago.

1027
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 4: Now he'll punch you. Uh, now he'll punch a player.

1028
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 3: You're gonna have him be the head coach.

1029
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: Fan base in the Bay has a very unique relationship

1030
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 2: with Draymond Green, very unique. I mean, this is a

1031
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 2: four time champ who I'd argue for the fan base

1032
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: would love to see go.

1033
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 4: Mmm.

1034
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: That's an interesting statement, that is, do you think he'd

1035
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 2: be any good at it? M?

1036
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 4: I don't know if he has the right temperament. Now

1037
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 4: he has the right basketball mind. One thousand agree, But

1038
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 4: Tobby Bobby Knight temperament, it doesn't translate and especially doesn't

1039
01:01:50,520 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 4: translate into pros that M. Pat Ryan, what was Ellen

1040
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 4: Everson's coach name? Brown? What was Larry Brown?

1041
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 3: Larry K?

1042
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 4: Coach K?

1043
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Coach K had a little bit of that.

1044
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's it doesn't work in

1045
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 2: the pros, it doesn't work in twenty twenty five.

1046
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, right no.

1047
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: And and and and you can be mad at that,

1048
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: but that's that's life. That's the I mean, I don't

1049
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 2: know that. I don't know that young players. Although jeez,

1050
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 2: you're not wrong about his mind. I wonder what if

1051
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 2: he hired an assistant who was really good at calming

1052
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 2: him down, somebody with a nickname like smooth.

1053
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 3: What if?

1054
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 2: What if what if he called up Steve de Sega

1055
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 2: and was like, you want to do this together.

1056
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 4: Hey, Steve, let's be smooth together.

1057
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Gottley might be available. Oh wow, yes that

1058
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 6: is How about Danny Hurley. That's there's a cult attitude

1059
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 6: on the sidelines. People are trying to get him, no doubt.

1060
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 6: Let's update things from San Francisco show. Oh lord, oh,

1061
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 6: because the most exciting part of the NBA All Star

1062
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,919
Speaker 6: Game in the Bayer so far has been this when

1063
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 6: Jaren out of the stands got to challenge Damian Lillard

1064
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 6: for mister Beasts one hundred thousand dollars shooting from three

1065
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 6: point range?

1066
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Keep going, Oh my god.

1067
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 6: By far the most exciting thing that has happened on

1068
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 6: the court there tonight. It's a fourteen mini tournaments. In

1069
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 6: the first semi final, Team Charles Barkley won at four

1070
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 6: th two. You see for each game tonight, the winner

1071
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 6: is the first team to reach forty points. Team Chalk

1072
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 6: shots seventy eight percent from the floor eighteen of twenty three.

1073
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 6: Giannis did not play. Anthony Edwards did not play for

1074
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 6: Team Kenny Smith, apparently due to a groin injury. The

1075
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 6: second semi final going on right now, Team Shack Up

1076
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 6: seventeen fifteen on the Rising Stars who got into this

1077
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 6: competition tonight by winning Friday's Rising Stars competition and advancing.

1078
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 6: By the way, Shack's team that he drafted. The starting

1079
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 6: five is Steph Curry, Damian Lillard, Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum,

1080
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 6: and James Harden and they had Anthony Davis as well,

1081
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 6: but of course he's out now and so his injury

1082
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 6: replacement is only Kyrie Irving, who's now gotten onto the court.

1083
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 6: Lebron James was also on this team, but Lebron is

1084
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 6: out tonight with a sore foot and ankle. He had

1085
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 6: been named a starter for a record twenty first straight

1086
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 6: year to men's college basketball ninth ranks. Saint John's beat

1087
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 6: nuber twe Creighton seventy nine seventy three. The Red Storm

1088
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 6: thirteen and two in the Big East, seeking its first

Speaker 6: the new total is sixteen therapists from eight different spas

1118

1120
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,960

1121
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 6: feared they would lose their jobs.

1122
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 4: Back to you.

1123
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 2: Wow Stave, the saga everybody tyrack dot com Studios.

1124
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 3: You think Justin Tucker has kicked his last kick?

1125
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the way he was kicking anyway.

1126
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 3: But anyway, how many figured it out?

1127
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 4: During that magical update we saw Dalen Brown air ball

1128
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 4: of three and come back with uh, ky, I mean

1129
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant air ball three foot hook shot. It's just uh,

1130
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 4: it's a poor product. And you know, I'm gonna keep

1131
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 4: harping on it because we're talking about it. I mean,

1132
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 4: it's on.

1133
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Do you have any any ideas that that that sound

1134
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 2: good to you?

1135
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 3: What about this? What about this the USA versus the

1136
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 3: world thing?

1137
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that. Never let it happen?

1138
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 4: Why because if the world wins even one time.

1139
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 3: What's wrong with that?

1140
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 2: It's a global game, That's what they're trumpeting all over

1141
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 2: the place.

1142
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they don't want that. That's why the Olympics,

1143
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 4: Like it's like, you don't want to lose the gold

1144
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:24,440
Speaker 4: medal in the Olympics, which they almost did.

1145
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 2: I understand where you're coming from, but in an all

1146
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 2: star format.

1147
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 4: But they don't want that smoke. They don't want that

1148
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 4: smoke because what you're what they're going to find out

1149
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 4: and what will be glaring is Oh, no, is there

1150
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 4: are there more legitimate foreign All Stars than an American.

1151
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 4: They're all Canada. They're all Canadian, right.

1152
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 2: No, I could give you your your starting lineup would

1153
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 2: probably be and this is a big lineup, But I

1154
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 2: mean your top five names are Shay, Luka, Jokic, Giannis,

1155
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:00,799
Speaker 2: and Wenby.

1156
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 4: My lord, what five do we have is gonna beat them?

1157
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

1158
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: I would argue that there's there's probably some Uh, you

1159
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 2: put a pretty good lineup together, I think.

1160
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 3: Actually, I mean what.

1161
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 4: You're gonna have are are are six of the last

1162
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 4: top three MVP candidates on the opposing team.

1163
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 2: By the way, those are also the top three scorers

1164
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 2: in the NBA this year are Shay, Jannison, Jokich. But

1165
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 2: are you telling me that that a team that's anchored

1166
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 2: by Anthony Edwards, Jason Tatum, Jalen Brunts and Steph Curry,

1167
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 2: Dame Lillard, Anthony Davis, Kate cutting him, Carl Anthony Towns,

1168
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 2: Tyres Maxy Like what what they can't compete?

1169
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 4: No? No, no, really, yeah, I'm yes, hold on, Lebron,

1170
01:09:58,080 --> 01:09:59,600
Speaker 4: So let me tell you this, Let me tell you this,

1171
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 4: let me let me break it down for you. Remember

1172
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 4: the Olympics. Remember the Olympics.

1173
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 3: I was there, Yes, but yeah, I.

1174
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 4: Was like, oh, okay, Paris money. Do you remember the

1175
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 4: gold medal game?

1176
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

1177
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 4: How many actual NBA players for France were on that team?

1178
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 3: Oh? I mean trivia question?

1179
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 4: Well like at the time too. And then it became

1180
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 4: three when the dude who was giving us business down

1181
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 4: low is now playing for the seventy six ers. So

1182
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 4: I say that to say that was America's greatest Wait

1183
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:46,560
Speaker 4: a minute, hold on, hold on, Yeah, the other international

1184
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 4: superstars were spread out all over the world. They were

1185
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 4: all quarterbacking their own country's teams. So now we're going

1186
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 4: to take all of those and com them onto one team, yes,

1187
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 4: to play against the American team likes Yes, the NBA

1188
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 4: doesn't want to point that big of an arrow to

1189
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 4: the lack of development on American young talent. They don't

1190
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 4: want to do that.

1191
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if I buy this at all.

1192
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 4: I'm buying the heck out of it.

1193
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 3: Listen to the names that I just threw out.

1194
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 2: You you're making it sound like the USA isn't developing players,

1195
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,919
Speaker 2: like their roster would be much deeper.

1196
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's as glitzy at the top.

1197
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 4: But at a certain point the time is really the United.

1198
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 3: States is not struggling to name oh.

1199
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 4: No, no, no, but when you put it into a

1200
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 4: game that benefits the way that you're The NBA is

1201
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 4: adopting how Europe has been playing basketball forever.

1202
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 3: Yes, right, so.

1203
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 4: They're adopting that style. The NBA was far too physical

1204
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 4: for international players, far too physical. Tony Kukoch came over

1205
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 4: and remember what Jordan and Scottie Pippen did to him

1206
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 4: in the Olympics. Oh lord, yes, right, and so it

1207
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 4: would remember what Kobe Bryant did to his own.

1208
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 3: Teammate to po Yes, yes, So now that.

1209
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 4: Would be the advantage of the US team. They're more physical,

1210
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 4: they're more you know, all of these things. That is

1211
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 4: no longer the case because now the game is being

1212
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 4: played in a euro fashion type of basketball. That's why

1213
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:43,799
Speaker 4: the success of the seven foot the seven foot three

1214
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 4: international players shooting thirty five foot threes. Right, That's why

1215
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:55,719
Speaker 4: Jokic is the best player on the planet because he

1216
01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 4: does everything like That's not how American players are trained,

1217
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 4: are learned to train. Those guys are being professional. Luca

1218
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 4: been professional since it was fourteen, right, Tony Tony. Tony

1219
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 4: Parker was a fourteen year old point guard on the

1220
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 4: French in the French League. So what I'm saying is

1221
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:25,560
Speaker 4: the development of the world's young talent is more conducive

1222
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 4: to the style of play the NBA is playing.

1223
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,719
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, I like, even if I agree with everything

1224
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 2: that you're saying, I just don't think it's that scary

1225
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 2: of a proposition. If that if the World team won

1226
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, big deal, I don't.

1227
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 3: I don't think the NBA would be like, oh God,

1228
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 3: that's embarrassing. I don't.

1229
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:47,440
Speaker 4: If it's not, it should.

1230
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 2: Be really, Yes, these are NBA players, we're here say.

1231
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 4: They're not like us. Okay, that's that's the whole point

1232
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 4: of that. Do you do realize that, right? And you

1233
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 4: can use that in any part of your life?

1234
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 2: And I have all right, not done with that conversation

1235
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 2: because there's some other ideas that got thrown around at

1236
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 2: the All Star practices and stuff like that.

1237
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 4: But that'll be that'll be the way to make them

1238
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 4: play hard. Yes, that'll be the way to make.

1239
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 3: Them Yes, yes, all right. More more ideas from Sala

1240
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 3: Mark Weather, Fox Sports Radio.

1241
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 2: Trying like hell to get one of these players on

1242
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Shacks team to make a bucket so they can move on.

1243
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 2: And then finally they did, and I can't believe it.

1244
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,839
Speaker 2: Shas Team's gonna play Chucks team from.

1245
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 3: It's Oh man, you didn't, you didn't. You didn't.

1246
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 2: You didn't see that coming, did you? Shacks team against

1247
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 2: Chuck's team.

1248
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 3: It's not what I had in my bracket.

1249
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 4: But just looking at the fans in the stands, they're like,

1250
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 4: what is that. There wasn't any cheering on that show. Nothing.

1251
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 2: It was just like, yeah, no, if you if you

1252
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 2: follow along with some of the reporters and the people

1253
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 2: who are in the building, you know, they're kind of like,

1254
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how this is translating on TV, but

1255
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 2: people are not into it.

1256
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 3: No, they're not into it.

1257
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So drawing board, what about what about.

1258
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 3: A one on one tournament King of the Hill?

1259
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 4: What about it's one on one?

1260
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 3: Well, how many all stars you get? About twenty four?

1261
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:53,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you gotta remember the players are so skilled

1262
01:15:53,760 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 4: in terms one on one wouldn't be like it is,

1263
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 4: like you would think it is right because.

1264
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 3: You're probably right. I mean, if it.

1265
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 4: Wouldn't bring that level of excitement that you would hope

1266
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 4: it would bring. It wouldn't be that.

1267
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:19,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how you get around like what happens

1268
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 2: when Shai Gilges is going against Jokich. Neither one of

1269
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 2: them has any prayer in hell of stopping the other

1270
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 2: one from scoring on any possession.

1271
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 3: Ever.

1272
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so does that is that exciting? No?

1273
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.

1274
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 2: Like I'm sitting here telling you that this is flat

1275
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 2: out I don't know if the great answer exists for me,

1276
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 2: the one we were just discussing is the best you

1277
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 2: can do.

1278
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 3: You brought up a fair point.

1279
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if the NBA is as concerned about

1280
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 2: what you're saying as maybe you think they are. But

1281
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 2: I also can't tell you that they're not.

1282
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,879
Speaker 4: The only way it is us versus the world. That's okay,

1283
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 4: So let's do it. Because that you guarantee both sides

1284
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 4: are gonna play hard. That's it. That's why the Olympics

1285
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 4: are so great.

1286
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 2: Well, okay, when you say you guarantee it, can you yeah?

1287
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 4: You can?

1288
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 3: How so?

1289
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 4: Because because you like they're there. They're people, right, They're

1290
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 4: people with Twitter accounts and and and brands and all

1291
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 4: of that, and so if the US team would have

1292
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 4: lost the Olympics, you don't think there would have been

1293
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 4: some type of fallout.

1294
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 3: I think big time.

1295
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,719
Speaker 2: But what I what I think is that this would

1296
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 2: feel different than winning a silver medal if you came

1297
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: in second place at the All Star Game. Because what

1298
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 2: I what I see right now, what I see in

1299
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 2: the NBA is that concern over health, Trump's everything, everything.

1300
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, except for if the World team was like, we're

1301
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 4: going to put it, We're going to give it to them.

1302
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 4: Competition breeds competition. Yeah, both sides like, eh, it is

1303
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 4: what it is, Then that's what you get. And that's

1304
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 4: what the All Star Games has been for the last

1305
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 4: five six years. But as soon as one team steps

1306
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 4: on the gas and then get stops and playing defense,

1307
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 4: then your pride in your ego kicks in. That's what

1308
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 4: being a professional athlete is.

1309
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm with you there, I'm absolutely with you there,

1310
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 2: But I just I don't know if it actually kicks in.

1311
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 2: I'm not willing to guarantee it because I watch these

1312
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 2: guys sit out games when their team absolutely needs it.

1313
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 2: We watched Lebron James wait until an hour before tip

1314
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 2: like I'm out.

1315
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 4: His team absolutely needed though, like whatever, right, seriously, this

1316
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 4: is like whatever.

1317
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,560
Speaker 3: And I think that would be too less so but still.

1318
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 4: So, No, I think there's a sense of pride in

1319
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 4: terms of the same pride like I keep saying this,

1320
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 4: but the same price you have when you're representing your

1321
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 4: country in anything you do that is a real life

1322
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 4: motivator in the country, Like you're going to lose to

1323
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 4: the world's All Stars in the US, the place where

1324
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 4: basketball was invented.

1325
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 3: Sure, but right, so who's doing that? You play hard?

1326
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 3: But do you play that hard?

1327
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? You do. You win and you want to win

1328
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 4: by a lot. I can promise you that. Oh so

1329
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 4: they know.

1330
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 2: Look, if that's what you're saying, then let's ride. Then

1331
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: you gotta do this. You got to do this right now.

1332
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 2: More on that in our last hour, we'll get to

1344
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 2: Not want to let tonight get away without a little

1345
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: bit of a look back on the twenty twenty four

1346
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five NFL season that just came to an

1347
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 2: end with the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl. I

1348
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 2: want to ask you about that game. Where the Chiefs

1349
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 2: go from here, Aaron Rodgers.

1350
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 3: I got a lot of things that I'd love to

1351
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 3: hear you talk on.

1352
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 2: First off, what was your what was your reaction to

1353
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 2: the game and the fact that, my man, it wasn't close.

1354
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 4: No, And I had stated in order for the Chiefs

1355
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 4: to have a chance to win, they had, I mean,

1356
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 4: excuse me, Philly to have a chance to win, they

1357
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 4: had to blow them out. It couldn't have been. It

1358
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 4: couldn't be a close game, especially coming into the fourth quarter.

1359
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 4: And that was the approach they took. They took We're

1360
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 4: gonna get after you. They knew they had the advantage

1361
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 4: offensive defensive line wise. They knew their offensive line was better,

1362
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,640
Speaker 4: and they knew their defensive line was better. And so

1363
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 4: when you can rush for and create that level of havoc,

1364
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 4: I don't care how good your quarterback is, you can

1365
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 4: render him useless. And the last Super Bowl Kansas City loss,

1366
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 4: it was the same way. Tampa Bay had the same formula,

1367
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 4: and so that's when Patrick Mahomes lost both of his tackles.

1368
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 4: This year, they struggled with right tackle and their left

1369
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 4: tackle got hurt, so they moved their all World guard

1370
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 4: out to play left tackle. And I can tell you this,

1371
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 4: playing left tackle a national football league is not to

1372
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 4: be trifle with. I did it for an extremely long time.

1373
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 4: It is one of the most difficult positions to do

1374
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 4: because so much hinges on just you being better than

1375
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 4: everyone else, and when you don't have that, it throws

1376
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 4: every all the timing, all the everything off. So now

1377
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 4: you rush four and you keep everybody else back, that's

1378
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 4: seven in coverage. Good luck you can double two players offensively,

1379
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 4: and so we saw that, and we saw them consistently

1380
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 4: get after them, put pressure on them, make them uncomfortable,

1381
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 4: to the tune of one first down in the first half.

1382
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it was one two no,

1383
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 2: itthing it It was twenty three.

1384
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 4: Yards, Yeah, it was.

1385
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 3: It was one first twenty three yards.

1386
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, combined, right, they didn't get that all on one drive.

1387
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 4: It was combined. So yeah, they had one. They had

1388
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 4: the first first down of their first drive. I think

1389
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 4: the first play went for a first down. After that,

1390
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 4: nothing for the whole half, and that is crazy, and

1391
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 4: so yeah, yess. I love the fact that they did

1392
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 4: take away sakuon Barkley. But what that did was it

1393
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 4: opened up a lot of other things. And they said, hey,

1394
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 4: if Jalen Hurts is gonna beat us, he's gonna beat us.

1395
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 4: And he did. He did in the air and he

1396
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 4: did with his feet and you know, shout out to them.

1397
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 4: I was, I was, I was pleased. I would have

1398
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 4: liked the better game, but you know, you're going in

1399
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 4: the halftime it was it twenty seven or nothing or

1400
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 4: something like that at halftime thirty one nothing.

1401
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 3: Twenty four ton But yeah.

1402
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 4: You know it was you know, it was exciting until

1403
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 4: it was.

1404
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 2: The interesting dynamic I thought was this the Kansas City

1405
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 2: Chiefs cannot play the role of David. They cannot play

1406
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 2: the role of underdog because it's the Kansas City Chiefs.

1407
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 2: The living is showing up there for a three p

1408
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 2: but when you really dive into it, I thought that

1409
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 2: the majority of us were waiting for that exposing of

1410
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 2: the Chiefs all year long, and we never got it.

1411
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:51,879
Speaker 2: We thought it was coming, We predicted it twelve different times.

1412
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 2: There were at least five times where we thought we

1413
01:24:55,160 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 2: were watching it. Raiders, Broncos, Panthers, whatever, I mean, weak

1414
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 2: teams that had the Chiefs dead to rights.

1415
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 3: And they never got them.

1416
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 2: And somewhere right around playoff time when you start throwing

1417
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Texans and all this at them.

1418
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 3: And they beat them too. I don't know about you,

1419
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 3: but I gave up. I went, you know what, I'm

1420
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 3: gonna stop predicting this. I was wrong.

1421
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are amazing again. And as soon as I

1422
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 2: gave up on it, they showed up in the Super

1423
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Bowl looked.

1424
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 3: Exactly the way I thought they were going to look

1425
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 3: all year long, but never did.

1426
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 2: And so I don't know if it's fair to say, oh,

1427
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 2: they actually weren't that good, because that was only one game.

1428
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 3: I guess I choose to do it this way.

1429
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,799
Speaker 2: I want to give the Chiefs a ton of credit

1430
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 2: because they overachieved.

1431
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they overachieved this year.

1432
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 2: And that's hard to say when it's a team that

1433
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 2: goes to the Super Bowl every year, but they did.

1434
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 2: There's no doubt in my mind they overchieved. So they

1435
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:07,600
Speaker 2: deserve credit for getting there. But I don't think that

1436
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles were the only team that given a neutral

1437
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 2: field shot in two weeks to prepare. I don't think

1438
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 2: that's the only team that would have beat them.

1439
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so either. We've watched them skirt

1440
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 4: the line and take advantage of others' mistakes. And when

1441
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 4: you run up against the superior team outside of the

1442
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 4: quarterback and coach head coach position, then yeah, you're going

1443
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 4: to get what you get. And they didn't make mistakes.

1444
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 4: They cashed in was one early turnover by Jalen Hurts.

1445
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 4: They went and got it right back, and they took advantage.

1446
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 4: They took advantage of a Chiefs team who found a

1447
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 4: way to win the entire season largely due to their

1448
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 4: defensive efforts. And they ran up against the juggernaut best

1449
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 4: offensive line and in the game, best running back. It

1450
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 4: just was. It was a masterful display of dominance. We're

1451
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 4: going to impose our will on you. I believe the

1452
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 4: games are won and lost in the trenches. I will

1453
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 4: always believe that because I've been on teams where that's happened.

1454
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:27,600
Speaker 4: I told you, I've played in the game where we

1455
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 4: had negative eight passing yards and one because they couldn't

1456
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 4: stop us running the ball. That's a mindset and they

1457
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 4: imposed their mindset and their will on Kansas City. And

1458
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 4: there is a little bit of Super Bowl fatigue for

1459
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 4: Kansas City. That's a lot of games to play back

1460
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 4: to back to back to back to back to back

1461
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 4: to back. Last five years, they played a lot of

1462
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 4: football game more than anybody else, any other team, and

1463
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 4: so you know, sometimes you get to that notion of

1464
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 4: we're going to show up and you know we're gonna

1465
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,680
Speaker 4: win because we showed up. And I know they were

1466
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 4: talking about that all the whole week off in Philly,

1467
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 4: and they came out and they executed their game plan

1468
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:17,600
Speaker 4: that they put in flawlessly, and you know, the deserving

1469
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 4: team won. There's a reason why no team has won

1470
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 4: three in a row. It's one of the hardest things

1471
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 4: to do on the planet Earth.

1472
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 2: Yep, Well, that leads us to this, and here's where

1473
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna run the

1474
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 2: risk of being the big dummy, and I'm okay with it.

1475
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 3: I've been the big dummy before. I might be the

1476
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 3: big dummy again.

1477
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 2: But the way that they come out of that, and

1478
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 2: it's not Super Bowl hangover, that's a tired take. I

1479
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 2: think that that applies to maybe some teams, not others.

1480
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have lost a Super before, they simply came

1481
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 2: right back and started going to Super Bowls again. So

1482
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 2: it's not a Super Bowl hangover. It's more circumstantial than situational.

1483
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 2: I think two things. You're going to start getting players

1484
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: who really really matter, Travis Kelsey being one of them,

1485
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 2: who are I think going to leave the game.

1486
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 3: You also now have a blueprint that's put.

1487
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:24,599
Speaker 2: In front of you in terms of how to beat

1488
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in the trenches. And you also have a

1489
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs team that's somewhere along the road. I can remember

1490
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 2: not that many years ago, whoever the running back was

1491
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs and Andy Reid that was somebody I

1492
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 2: wanted in fantasy in the top half of the first round.

1493
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 2: This year, nobody in the running back position ran for

1494
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 2: more than nine yards in the Super Bowl. I don't

1495
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,759
Speaker 2: know what the hell happened, but they lost. They lost

1496
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 2: their run game, they lost what they used to do

1497
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,800
Speaker 2: out of the backfield. They lost guys that were amazing

1498
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:11,640
Speaker 2: combos of run and catch, and they were scotbacks and

1499
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 2: they would throw different looks at you. And somehow this

1500
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 2: fell all the way down to Pacheco and Hunt, who

1501
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 2: are both like big rumblers at this point. And it

1502
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 2: just doesn't look right. And I think that this Chiefs run,

1503
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 2: my homes be damned like. They're not going to be

1504
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,640
Speaker 2: the big dogs next year. They're just not. That division

1505
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 2: just got a lot better this year. Denver now has

1506
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 2: to be dealt with. The Chargers are a playoff team

1507
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:45,520
Speaker 2: with Harbaugh.

1508
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're done. I think this run is over.

1509
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 4: Is Andy Reid retiring?

1510
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 2: No, they're still going to be good. They're still gonna

1511
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,639
Speaker 2: be very well coached. They're still gonna have Patrick Mahomes.

1512
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 2: I didn't say they're not a factor, but this whole

1513
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 2: like home field advantage every year, Go ahead and pencil

1514
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 2: them in for the Super Bowl. I just don't see

1515
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:17,600
Speaker 2: them as the best team in the AFC anymore. And

1516
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 2: and the AFC also, I don't know that's another thing

1517
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 2: that came out of this game.

1518
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 3: AFC lost a little bit of a shine, didn't it

1519
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 3: a little bit?

1520
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 4: A little bit bet yeah, little bet Yeah. I think uh.

1521
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 4: I think we were hyper focused on the quarterbacks and

1522
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 4: the teams uh in the AFC, and you know there

1523
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 4: are more market names on that side at the quarterback position,

1524
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 4: and this has become a quarterback league. So everything points

1525
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 4: to the quarterback and so now it's it's who can

1526
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,640
Speaker 4: be more physical. Remember we were talking about when is

1527
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:03,400
Speaker 4: that angel I'm gonna swing back to running backs. I

1528
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 4: think we got that answer. I think it's now. I

1529
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 4: think Austin gent is genty yeah, yeah, from Voicise State.

1530
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 4: I think his value has skyrocketed. That's a real thing.

1531
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 4: Teams are like, hey, man, if we get that kid,

1532
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:34,760
Speaker 4: then that's the beginning of our ability to wear teams down.

1533
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 4: You get him, you get yourself a good guard. Right

1534
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 4: free agency, you go get an all pro guard. Trey

1535
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 4: Smith is about to reset the guard market from Kansas

1536
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 4: City six round draft pick four years ago, one of

1537
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 4: the top guards in the game, the seven w seventy

1538
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 4: fifth paid guard. He's about to reset that market. So

1539
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 4: there are gonna be a lot of teams looking to

1540
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 4: bolster that line and bring a similance of a running game.

1541
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 4: You have to you have to take a lot of

1542
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:22,600
Speaker 4: pressure off those receivers and those quarterbacks.

1543
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 3: That was the formula this year. That was the formula

1544
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 3: this year.

1545
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 2: I mean Aaron Rodgers showed up with the Jets and

1570
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 2: want to see Aaron Rodgers play next year?

1571
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 4: Ah? Come on, man, I would probably say Oakland, Oakland.

1572
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,520
Speaker 3: I don't even have it. They don't have any franchises.

1573
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Las Vegas?

1574
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 3: You mean Vegas?

1575
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1576
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Las Vegas.

1577
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the current odds for teams where Aaron

1578
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 2: Rodgers would would end up. Las Vegas is the fourth

1579
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 2: team at seven to one.

1580
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:18,440
Speaker 4: Where is the first.

1581
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:23,760
Speaker 2: At one to one? It is none other than who

1582
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:29,959
Speaker 2: do you think? San Francisco? No, it is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1583
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:35,719
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers, Yeah, followed by the San Francisco forty

1584
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 2: nine Ers, followed by the New Orleans Saints, followed by

1585
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,479
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders. And then you start to get

1586
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 2: into the field Seahawks, Browns, Giants, Titans, et cetera, et cetera.

1587
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,600
Speaker 3: Let me get this takeoff real quick, and then you

1588
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 3: can go wherever you want with this.

1589
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 2: I think it is flipping the most hilarious thing in

1590
01:35:56,920 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 2: the history of sports media that for a year and

1591
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:04,719
Speaker 2: a half now the world either doesn't believe the forty

1592
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 2: nine ers or for some reason is hell bent on

1593
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 2: attempting to change the forty nine ers mind, which allow

1594
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 2: me to assure you won't happen. I'm not sure what

1595
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 2: is going on. The Niners are literally out in the

1596
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 2: streets telling everyone, Yeah, we're gonna pay rock. Fred Warner

1597
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 2: is going to the Super Bowl, seemingly pleading with shows

1598
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 2: to understand, YO, don't get it. We think he's the

1599
01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 2: guy we like. We think he's really good at quarterback.

1600
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 2: And then there's that whole like he's been here for

1601
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 2: less than three years and he's been to two title

1602
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 2: games in a super Bowl. There's that put that resume aside.

1603
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 2: But then just listen to us. We see him in

1604
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 2: practice every day. We think he's really good. Is he perfect?

1605
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 2: His name's not Josh Allen, but we really think he's good.

1606
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,720
Speaker 2: And we're not triggered by the numbers that are out

1607
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 2: there in the quarterback market. That's what quarterbacks cost, and

1608
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 2: we're thankful to have one. So we're gonna pay him,

1609
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 2: and the world looks at him, and they look at

1610
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:12,719
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers and they go, I think Aaron

1611
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:14,640
Speaker 2: Rodgers is going to end up there next year. I

1612
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 2: really do. It is the wildest thing I've ever seen.

1613
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 2: If you have a microphone and you're still worried about

1614
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 2: what Brock's gonna make or whether or not the forty

1615
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 2: nine ers are convinced, you're screaming at a cloud.

1616
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:29,799
Speaker 3: This thing's over.

1617
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 2: I will promise you right now on this show that

1618
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:37,760
Speaker 2: that contract is done pretty much as soon as contracts

1619
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 2: can get done.

1620
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be quick, easy.

1621
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 2: Painless, and Brock Perdy is going to be the quarterback

1622
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 2: for years to come in San Francisco. Whether Chris Simms,

1623
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 2: Mike Florio or anyone else wants to listen, It's a wrap.

1624
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 4: As it should be, thank you, as it should be

1625
01:37:56,320 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 4: for these people. I said this. Look, we were together

1626
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:07,640
Speaker 4: at the beginning of brock Perty's ride journey, YEP, and

1627
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 4: we talked about it inbcessively every single Sunday night for years,

1628
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 4: and so we saw very early, oh he's got it now.

1629
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 4: To maintain that level of success for three straight years,

1630
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:37,599
Speaker 4: I mean, people were like, well, he's gonna go back

1631
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl or the NF like, like the

1632
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 4: NFC Championship Game for the third straight You're like for

1633
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 4: that to happen on an aging team, You what quarterback

1634
01:38:54,200 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 4: and their prime is doing that. And so if brock

1635
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:09,040
Speaker 4: Perty were a number one draft pick instead of the

1636
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 4: very last pick in the draft, we wouldn't be having

1637
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 4: this conversation because as much of a head scratcher it was.

1638
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 4: When they paid Daniel Jones, it wasn't all of this

1639
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 4: hollabaloo around it because he squeaked them into the playoffs

1640
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:49,679
Speaker 4: on the legs of Saquon Barkley. They chose to pay

1641
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 4: him instead of Super Bowl champion Saquon Barkley. And so

1642
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 4: but what I He was a first round draft pick.

1643
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 4: So people were like, well, they gotta pay him. He's

1644
01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 4: making forty five Well, he was making forty five million

1645
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 4: dollars a year. Rubbish, rubbish. Blake Bortles huh huh, got

1646
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 4: Jacksonville into the playoffs and they paid him quite close

1647
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:30,559
Speaker 4: to the top of the market. Back then, Blake was it

1648
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 4: what first round draft pick? Yep, And so that's the

1649
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 4: only once your first round draft pick, then people automatically

1650
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 4: be like, oh, okay, well there's got to be some

1651
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 4: good there. Whether we've seen it or not, it's coming. Yeah,

1652
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 4: it's not coming for those guys well.

1653
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, then they hold on to it

1654
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 2: with a death grip. I mean, I could argue, oh no,

1655
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 2: this goes to a different place because he's won a

1656
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and he was one of the greatest of

1657
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:00,879
Speaker 2: all time.

1658
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 3: There's no question about that.

1659
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 2: But then once you start to see all of the

1660
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 2: actual decline, and once you start to see the inability

1661
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:12,719
Speaker 2: to do it like you used to do it.

1662
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 3: People won't believe it anymore.

1663
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 2: Look at what the New York Jets just did over

1664
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 2: the last two and a half years.

1665
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:19,599
Speaker 3: Of their lives.

1666
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 2: They handed an entire organization and millions upon millions of

1667
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 2: dollars to it has been And they didn't just pay him.

1668
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 2: They didn't just as I say, hand them the keys.

1669
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 2: They actually started signing other players. They've disenfranchised the good

1670
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 2: young players they already had Garrett Wilson, they fired a coach,

1671
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 2: they fired others up up top.

1672
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:46,680
Speaker 3: In the organization.

1673
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 2: They did all of these things for six wins in

1674
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 2: two years, and then they let him walk out the

1675
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 2: door after he has already obliterated the place.

1676
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 4: I would sign brock Purty in a heartbeat, just like

1677
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,640
Speaker 4: I would sign Stephen de Seger in a heart beat.

1678
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 3: That was smooth. Guys.

1679
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 6: In the NBA All Star Game finale in San Francisco tonight,

1680
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,759
Speaker 6: I believe we're still in the final. There are people

1681
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:25,560
Speaker 6: just standing at mid court talking.

1682
01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 3: What the hell is happening? Yeah, what is that?

1683
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 2: It's like they're trying to award the winners, but the

1684
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 2: game just started.

1685
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1686
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 6: In fact, it's eleven to one first, one to forty wins.

1687
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 6: It may actually finish at some point tonight, not while

1688
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:41,720
Speaker 6: we're on the air, I think, but it might finish

1689
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:44,719
Speaker 6: eleven to one because the team drafted by Charles Barkley

1690
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 6: apparently has started zh of ten shooting from the floor.

1691
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:50,760
Speaker 6: A couple of comments online from people watching the festivities

1692
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 6: this evening. One said the downtime between games tonight is

1693
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 6: over the top, way too little basketball being played entirely

1694
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 6: too much to versus actual basketball now. Another said, going

1695
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 6: from the USA at Canada Hockey last night to watching

1696
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 6: NBA All Star Game tonight is like going from the

1697
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 6: Waldorf Astoria to a Gary, Indiana Motel six. And by

1698
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 6: the way, that hockey last night, which included a thrilling

1699
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 6: first period got, except for Game seven of the Final

1700
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 6: last year, the largest TV audience in the last two

1701
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 6: years for anything NHL related. It was four point four

1702
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 6: million viewers. NBA All Star Game got four point six

1703
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 6: million viewers a couple of years ago. So for the moment,

1704
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,120
Speaker 6: and they're still on the court, just talking and giving

1705
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:40,919
Speaker 6: away prizes. I guess it's eleven to one and somebody's

1706
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 6: going to get to forty eventually and put us out

1707
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:43,320

Speaker 6: One hundred thousand dollars by quote beating Damian Lillard in

1712
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 6: a three point contest. Of course, the NBA player had

1713
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 6: to make three compared to the kids one, but sure, okay,

1714
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:04,639
Speaker 6: you beat them. Great men's college hoops earlier today, Number

01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 6: twelve late third quarter tonight, but came back to win

1727
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 6: at Washington sixty nine sixty four and right now at

1728
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 6: number one UCLA eight minutes to go, it's tied. The

1729
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 6: Bruins are hosting number twenty two Michigan State. It's tied

1730
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 6: at fifty seven in the fourth quarter. Ludwig Oldberg won

1734
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 6: up to number four in the world golf rankings. Tiger

1735
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 6: Woods did not play in this event, which benefits his foundation.

1736
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 6: It was held in San Diego this year instead of

1737
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 6: La due to the recent fires. Wood says he's not

1738
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,760
Speaker 6: ready to golf after his mom's recent death. Last year,

1739
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 6: Woods competed in only eleven rounds of golf in five

1740
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:27,240
Speaker 6: total events. He's still saying, without specifics same he's playing

1741
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:29,640
Speaker 6: golf on the tour this year, the PGA Tours in

1742

Speaker 6: Mexico next weekend. Then it's off to Florida for the

1743
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 6: next four events. By the way, the live golf winner

1744
01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:37,559
Speaker 6: in Australia late last night our time was Jakee Neeman,

1745
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 6: so he takes home the customary four million dollars first

1746
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 6: prize money four million dollars for three days of golf

1747
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 6: in Adelaide, Oh total perse twenty million dollars. For a

1748
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 6: live golf event today in California at the PGA Tournament

1749
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:59,879
Speaker 6: four million dollars to the winner, total perse twenty million dollars.

1750
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 6: I know there's a lot to be said about live golf,

1751
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 6: but look at the chi ching it has meant for

1752
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 6: PGA players just the existence adl absolutely back to you.

1753
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 2: Great stuff is always Steve, thank you, thank you, thank

1754
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,839
Speaker 2: you very much, and a good breakdown of what's happening

1755
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 2: at this All Star Game, which is people standing people

1756
01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 2: standing at Chase Center and talking into microphones while superstar

1757
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 2: athletes stare at them and wait to be called back

1758
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 2: out under the court.

1759
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 3: Fun.

1760
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 2: Brother, I don't know if you're on social media during

1761
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 2: the show, I gather you're not. This this event is

1762
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 2: getting absolutely torched. And what's worse because you know, Sam

1763
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:58,599
Speaker 2: three four star six seven has always torched everything on Twitter,

1764
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 2: but this is being torched by the likes of Stephen A.

1765
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 2: Smith and by the likes of Draymond Green and Richard Jefferson,

1766
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 2: and like, oh my god, it's getting torched to the

1767
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:15,240
Speaker 2: point where now the argument is over who got us here?

1768
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 2: In other words, does this just trace back to whatever? Yeah,

1769
01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 2: whenever the players, Lebron God is here.

1770
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,679
Speaker 3: There you go. And did you see the team picture

1771
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:29,760
Speaker 3: tonight for Shocks team? Do you see this?

1772
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1773
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 2: Look, I'm sorry, man, I've spent the better part of

1774
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:38,880
Speaker 2: a career largely defending Lebron James because I'm like, look,

1775
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 2: of all the athletes in the world, if the worst

1776
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 2: thing you got on the guy is that he's a

1777
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 2: little narcissistic and he made a TV show once upon

1778
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 2: a time about his decision and you thought that was lame,

1779
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:52,600
Speaker 2: and a million dollars got made for the Boys and

1780
01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:55,080
Speaker 2: Girls Club in Cleveland. If that's the worst thing you've

1781
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:56,880
Speaker 2: gotten a guy you don't have much.

1782
01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 4: Well it's not the worst, but dude, dude.

1783
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 3: Is super annoying today.

1784
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for not having a more refined way of

1785
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 2: saying that. Like people have incentives in their contract for

1786
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 2: being All Stars. You could have ducked out of this

1787
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:20,559
Speaker 2: game even as late as yesterday, and someone else could

1788
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 2: have stepped in. We're doing a team photo before the

1789
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:30,599
Speaker 2: thing starts. You can't get out of your clothes. Like

1790
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 2: everybody's there in uniform steph KD. Tatum and you're in

1791
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 2: your backwards hat and fancy slacks.

1792
01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 4: Not good, dude.

1793
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:45,560
Speaker 3: Today has been a terrible look for Lebron James. No

1794
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 3: way to overstate it.

1795
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:52,880
Speaker 4: Not good. All you had to do was participate in

1796
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:57,519
Speaker 4: the dunk contest. The trajectory would have shifted. It would

1797
01:48:57,520 --> 01:49:01,719
Speaker 4: have it would have stayed competitive. Other young guys would

1798
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,639
Speaker 4: have camped in the league and felt like they needed

1799
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 4: to continue in the great, great legacy that was set

1800
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 4: before them. Most of these guys have played on the

1801
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 4: same AAU team, so they're all friends, and so they

1802
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 4: don't have that competitive desire to beat each other. Isaiah

1803
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 4: Thomas hated Michael Jordan still does, and vice versa. I

1804
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:38,640
Speaker 4: think a lot of people do, right. Magic Johnson admired, respected,

1805
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:46,080
Speaker 4: but hated Larry Bird, Like, this is what the NBA

1806
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 4: was built on, the rivalry it carried over in the

1807
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 4: All Star Game. We're not gonna let the best of

1808
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:00,000
Speaker 4: the East beat the best of the West, and vice versa.

1809
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 4: Remember Dwyane Wade broke Kobe Bryant's nose in the All

1810
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 4: Star Game. You think Kobe brann was just out there

1811
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:13,879
Speaker 4: going through the motions.

1812
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm actually this is worse than I thought

1813
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:20,000
Speaker 2: it would be. I knew it was gonna be bad,

1814
01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 2: But they spent all week admitting that last year was embarrassing.

1815
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 2: So they spent all year trying to fix it, and

1816
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 2: this is what they've come up with.

1817
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:30,560
Speaker 4: Wrong people in there making decisions.

1818
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 2: Well, you just said it at the very beginning of

1819
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 2: this conversation, and I think I'm with you.

1820
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 3: I likeing it to this.

1821
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:40,720
Speaker 2: If you get a couple that starts talking to each

1822
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:43,720
Speaker 2: other out loud in the living room about divorce, I'd

1823
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:47,479
Speaker 2: argue you're already there. You can't you can't talk about

1824
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 2: that and then be like, nah, we're good, Like that's

1825
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:57,080
Speaker 2: a big, big discussion. And what I'm noticing over the

1826
01:50:57,160 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 2: last twelve months is that the NBA is openly talking

1827
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:04,320
Speaker 2: now about how the All Star Game and all of

1828
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 2: its different formats don't work, and nobody wants to be here,

1829
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 2: nobody wants to try. Now we're having fights and over

1830
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 2: who we blame for having Look, I think you're right, dude,

1831
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 2: burn it.

1832
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 3: It's over.

1833
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 4: Burn the whole weekend. I'm literally I'm watching the guy

1834
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 4: who won the dunk contest again is not even in

1835
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 4: the league. That's crazy to me, it really is.

1836
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of a cop.

1837
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:42,720
Speaker 4: You know what, it'll you know what should happen. They

1838
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 4: should gather because they're professional dunkers out there. They can

1839
01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 4: do stuff NBA players can't do even yep close. They

1840
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:57,480
Speaker 4: should bring in a professional dunkers and just have the

1841
01:51:56,760 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 4: NBA players be the judges. At least will be entertained.

1842
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 4: At least will be entertained. Yeah, because we don't even

1843
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 4: know the guys who are dunking now, right, and we

1844
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 4: don't know who the go, but they're not even They

1845
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 4: don't even have the ability to do what a Matt

1846
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:21,400
Speaker 4: McClung does. So what I'm saying is, if you want

1847
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 4: to see something spectacular, let's bring those guys in who

1848
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:30,760
Speaker 4: travel around the world dunking. At least will be entertained

1849
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:35,400
Speaker 4: and at all with what they can do, opposed to

1850
01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 4: the guys ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth at the end

1851
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:44,120
Speaker 4: of a bench that we've never seen play are dunk

1852
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 4: in a basketball game, being a dunk contest. That's how

1853
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 4: I feel. I'm looking for entertainment. It's obvious that the

1854
01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 4: players that we know and love aren't gonna give us that,

1855
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 4: So at least entertainment please.

1856
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:04,480
Speaker 3: Well again, my favorite part of the entire weekend was Jaron.

1857
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 2: Jaring, the kid with glasses and a mullet who got

1858
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 2: to shoot threes against Damian Lillard for one hundred thousand dollars.

1859
01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:13,360
Speaker 3: It was the best part of the night. It's not

1860
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:13,960
Speaker 3: even close.

1861
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:18,120
Speaker 4: Look at this, this is just trash. Miss Layup, this

1862
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 4: is garbage. I'm so glad I'm on the air talking

1863
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 4: about this trash. It's it's it's hard to watch, man,

1864
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:30,360
Speaker 4: it's insulting for people who are fans and people who've

1865
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:33,160
Speaker 4: spent their money to go up here, and and all,

1866
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:39,680
Speaker 4: it's just not enough. It's not good. No. First of all,

1867
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:46,759
Speaker 4: you can't have fifty minutes. You can't have a time

1868
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:51,519
Speaker 4: out for fifty minutes and expect these guys to get

1869
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:54,280
Speaker 4: up off the ground or get off off the bench

1870
01:53:54,400 --> 01:54:00,240
Speaker 4: and come in and still play. They literally for fifty minutes.

1871
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 4: It was eleven to one, and then they stopped playing

1872
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 4: for fifty minutes to do nothing. And so now you

1873
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 4: ask these guys to get back up and to compete.

1874
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 4: They weren't competing to begin with, but they're really not going.

1875
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 4: Do you want somebody to just pull a hamstring or

1876
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:22,639
Speaker 4: a quad or anything, Well, that would be the actual

1877
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:23,120
Speaker 4: end of it.

1878
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:25,320
Speaker 3: That'd be the actual end of it.

1879
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 4: You know, aw loone, they was sitting over there.

1880
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:29,719
Speaker 2: Somebody goes out there and pops something. I think they'd

1881
01:54:29,720 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 2: send everybody home like the second had happened. Yeah, I'm

1882
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 2: with you, man, we're in the tyrag dot com studios.

1883
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,360
Speaker 2: I still want to have the rest of that Aaron

1884
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 2: Rodgers conversation with you, and maybe instead of talking about this,

1885
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:45,720
Speaker 2: that's what we should do. So we'll do that coming

1886
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:50,640
Speaker 2: up next on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, these are the

1887
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 2: tire Rag dot com studios.

1888
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 3: If you'd like to hear more bashing of All Star Weekend.

1889
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 2: I have no doubt that planking's and you're on deck,

1890
01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 2: or you could just open up your computer.

1891
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:04,680
Speaker 3: And look at any website anywhere.

1892
01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:10,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I do want to know from you

1893
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 2: because you've got a lot to say through the last

1894
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 2: few years about Aaron Rodgers. Is there a career left?

1895
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 2: Is there a team that will hand him the keys?

1896
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 2: Is he willing to go to a team under normal

1897
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 2: circumstances and just you know, be their quarterback?

1898
01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 4: Uh?

1899
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 3: Stop stop telling them who to sign and all this stuff.

1900
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:43,360
Speaker 4: I think being humbled says yes to that. If he

1901
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:45,440
Speaker 4: decides he still wants to play, he may be done.

1902
01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:46,800
Speaker 4: He may be like that, I don't want to do

1903
01:55:46,840 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 4: this anymore. I want to go and you know, teach

1904
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 4: pilates and tantry yoga of somewhere and belieze, who knows

1905
01:55:56,000 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 4: you can do that. But there will all always be

1906
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:09,720
Speaker 4: a market for Aaron Rodgers because quarterback play is so

1907
01:56:09,880 --> 01:56:14,080
Speaker 4: sporadic and hit and miss that. Yeah, you don't think

1908
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 4: the Colts were taking Iron Rodgers. The Raiders were taking

1909
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, the Titans would take a Aaron Rodgers.

1910
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on what you getting them to do.

1911
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 4: Like anything, I'm just mentioning teams that had no answer whatsoever.

1912
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 2: Right, but those teams are about to draft a quarterback

1913
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 2: if I exactly imagine.

1914
01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 4: So you were bringing Aaron Rodgers in and well, hold on,

1915
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,320
Speaker 4: if you were to bring Aaron Rodgers in and have

1916
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:47,840
Speaker 4: him play a year, I think all most quarterbacks, not

1917
01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:51,880
Speaker 4: all most can benefit from sitting down.

1918
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 2: If Aaron chooses to not be a jerk about it,

1919
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:00,040
Speaker 2: like if he would mentor.

1920
01:56:59,720 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 4: The it's not even about mentoring, it's about or whatever.

1921
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 3: Well, I'll say, don't feel threatened by him. Like understand,

1922
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 3: there for a year.

1923
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 4: We got to remember, like when I came into the

1924
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 4: league and Aaron came in shortly after me, there was

1925
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 4: this whole thing of mentorship that didn't exist. Veterans weren't

1926
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:20,200
Speaker 4: helping you take their job.

1927
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, but.

1928
01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 4: But wait, wait, but what you did was you learn

1929
01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:29,960
Speaker 4: how to be a pro. You're in the meetings, you're

1930
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:36,960
Speaker 4: spending more time than ever in the presence of someone

1931
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:39,920
Speaker 4: who had been doing this for a long time and

1932
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:42,280
Speaker 4: at a high level. So it puts you in a

1933
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:46,000
Speaker 4: situation where you learn how to do that. Whether they

1934
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:48,400
Speaker 4: were helping you, like, hey, come to the house, we're

1935
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:51,000
Speaker 4: gonna break down these defense no, no, no, no no. The

1936
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 4: fact that you're in the rule. You think Alex Smith

1937
01:57:54,160 --> 01:58:00,840
Speaker 4: was helping Patrick Mahomes to unseat him. No, But what

1938
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:03,400
Speaker 4: it does is it allows you to learn how to

1939
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:06,480
Speaker 4: become a pro without the pressures of having to win.

1940
01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 4: That's what slows some quarterbacks down, the pressures to actually win,

1941
01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 4: and not just quarterbacks, any position, the pressure to actually

1942
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:22,920
Speaker 4: win as you're learning how to be a pro because

1943
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 4: you're being held to the standard of outliers, right like

1944
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:37,480
Speaker 4: a CJ. Stroud, Jaden Daniels, Andrew Luck for every one

1945
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:49,640
Speaker 4: of those guys, they're ten, Sam Donalds, Daniel Jones. Is. So,

1946
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 4: I think whether Aaron is gonna be anri And now

1947
01:58:55,800 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 4: you think Aaron helped Jordan Love No, But what he.

1948
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 3: Was a no no no no.

1949
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 4: But what he was able to do is sit there

1950
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:09,480
Speaker 4: for three years and really learn what to do and

1951
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 4: what not to do. That's invaluable.

1952
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand that. I understand that.

1953
01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he needs to, like, you know, take

1954
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 2: the kid paintballing or something like that with his off time.

1955
01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 3: But you know, maybe don't squash him, is all I'm saying.

1956
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:27,760
Speaker 2: We got all off season to talk about that, and

1957
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 2: we will down the road.

1958
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 3: Not everybody
