When I 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: did this about a month ago, filling in on a 15 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: Sunday Sunday Sunday, it was just preseason and I couldn't 16 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: really get into it, and I couldn't try to convince 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: you like I will tonight that the NBA is worth 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: watching even in No I swear. 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: Am I wrong. 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: No, I don't think I am. But we got to 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: start things off talking college football in what I like 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: to call my college football rap here, which is not 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: like r ap rap tupacur. It's not like that w 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: r ap A recap of today's day in college football. 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: Let's go. First off, there's go time. 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 4: That's wrong. 27 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: So Mark give me that good college football music. Yeah, 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: with the drum line Nick Cannon. So I woke up 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: late today because I was doing F and A on 30 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: FSR last night with Kevin Figures, and I turned on 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: Fox this morning, which was like at eleven thirty am 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: Pacific time by the time I got up, and I 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: see number eighteen Michigan in Northwestern and they're doing take 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: Me Out to the ballgame, and I'm wondering, what the 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: hell is going on here? I just woke up. Well, 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: they were playing at Wrigley Field, because Northwestern doesn't have 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: a home. Too good for your home. They don't have 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: a home stadium right now. But the football game at 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: Wrigley was drunker than Harry Carer used to be drunker 40 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: than Wolverine in the Logan movie. Is how the Wolverines 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: were looking after we thought they were about to run 42 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: away with it up twenty one to nine heading into 43 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 2: the fourth, just for Northwestern to score two touchdowns within 44 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: the first three minutes of the quarter to take the lead. 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: They used to do a couple picks from Bryce Underwood, 46 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: you know, the number one recruit in the country. Not 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: always a great thrower of the football, though, Underwood threw 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: a pick to Robert Fitzgerald and I thought for a second, 49 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: it's the fighting Fitzgerald's they're back. But no no relation 50 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: to Pat Fitzgerald out there. But Michigan kicked a field 51 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: goal to win it from thirty one yards out twenty 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: four to twenty two. And Gus Johnson said it best 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: on Fox quote on their worst day, they still come 54 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: back to win it, and they found a way to 55 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: over come five turnovers. Head coach Shearan Moore said postgame quote, 56 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: you don't win a game with five turnovers. I would add, though, 57 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: unless you're playing Northwestern, the Michigan Wolverines are hard to 58 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: finish off though they are a ben but do not 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: break adamantium Wolverine defense. They held up enough to make 60 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: up for Bryce underwood turnovers. Now they went out, They're 61 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: most likely in because while they have an unraked Maryland 62 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: team on the road next week, they then get Ohio 63 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: State at the Big House to end the season. You 64 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: beat the number one ranked team in the country, the 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: defending national champions. Well, you only have two losses. You 66 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: should be in. Should be but hold on a minute, 67 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: now play unless USC or Oklahoma went out because both 68 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: of them beat Michigan head to head, so they got 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: to watch for that, and we'll get to Oklahoma in 70 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. Meanwhile, number three Texas A and M 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: stays undefeated after a comeback down thirty to three at 72 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: the half to South Carolina, the largest comeback in an 73 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: SEC Conference game over the last twenty years. Teams had 74 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: been oh in two hundred and eighty six in that 75 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: situation since two thousand and four. But people were talking 76 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: about something else that occurred off the field in the 77 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: tunnel more so than the game. 78 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: Now. 79 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: I'm not going NWA. 80 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: With this or. 81 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: From the grass, but who was that Texas State trooper 82 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: that thought he was the main character and ran into 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: the South Carolina players in the tunnel and then turned 84 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: and pointed at them, having words with them. I don't 85 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: think it's against the law to go up thirty to 86 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: three on Texas A and M, although some game cocks 87 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: or gamblers might want them arrested for blowing that twenty 88 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: seven point leads. So there was a ninety seven percent 89 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: chance Texas A and M was going to lose that 90 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: game of the half, But there's a one hundred percent 91 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: chance that cop was an A and M fan that 92 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: was furious his team was down big and started power tripping, 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: intentionally bumping into Nick Harbor after that long touchdown. Texas 94 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: police said afterwards they've removed this state trooper from his 95 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: game day assignment duties. Moving forward, he can probably spend 96 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: more time getting ready for his audition for Super Troopers 97 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 2: three instead. Maybe, oh, none of it is a reflection 98 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: on law enforcement. Of course, we need them, but we 99 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: need them to act responsibly and professionally in order to 100 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: ensure trust with the general public and US civilians. That 101 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 2: was completely unprofessional and may require further discipline, like having 102 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: to watch that first half by Texas A and M 103 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 2: on repeat for a week straight because that was ugly. 104 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: But credit then with the comeback. The College Football Committee 105 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 2: liked Indiana's comeback on Penn State last week. They might 106 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: reward this too. I don't see A and M moving 107 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 2: down from their number three spot currently number twenty two. 108 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: Pitch though, might have to take a step back and 109 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: drop out of the top twenty five. After their vaunted 110 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: run defense got shredded by the Golden Domers, Pitt retired 111 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 2: Aaron Donald's number, and then it appeared the rest of 112 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: their active defenders retired mid game as Jeremiah Love went 113 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: for one hundred and forty seven yards on the ground 114 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: and a touchdown. Notre Dame would win thirty seven to fifteen. 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: But this game was lost for Pitt. Earlier in the week, 116 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 2: when they're head coach pat nerdoozy drop this, doozy of 117 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: a quote. You said this when asked if the game 118 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 2: against Notre Dame was a must win, he went, quote, 119 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: absolutely not. It is not NACC game. I'm glad you 120 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: brought that up. It's not NACYC game. I'd gladly get 121 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: beat one hundred and three or one ten to ten 122 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: in that game. They can put up one hundred on 123 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: us as long as we win the next two after that. 124 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: Wish not quite Granted they only lost by twenty two, 125 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: but yeah, that's how you get your guys riled up. 126 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: That's how you rally the troops, get your players ready 127 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: for a big game against Number nine. Notre Dame by 128 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: basically saying it doesn't matter. Even funnier at the end 129 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: of the game, with six seconds left down thirty seven 130 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: and nine, apparently things started to matter again for Nardoozy, 131 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: who was calling timeouts to get a meaningless touchdown. You 132 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: may be wondering, maybe it wasn't so meaningless to some, 133 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: like was the fix in? No, no, no, no, no no, 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: it wasn't a spread thing. Pitt was only getting twelve 135 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: and a half points. They still lost by twenty two, 136 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: So all this was was Nardoozi trying to dress up 137 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: the final score and make it seem like it was 138 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: much closer than the game really was. Even Bachelor host 139 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: Jesse Palmer, because I can barely remember his time in 140 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: Florida at this point, asked during the game out of curiosity, 141 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: what was the spread here? Like everyone was wondering what 142 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: the hell Pitt was doing. All of a sudden, they 143 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: had a sense of urgency out there to get a 144 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: touchdown in. But Pitt just thinks they can win the 145 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: ACC still and get a bid to the playoff. USC 146 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: wins out they could get in. After a complete tale 147 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: of two halves type ball game against IWA at home today. 148 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: In the first half it looked like the university has 149 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: spoiled children football, But in the second half it looked 150 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: like prime Pete Carroll back at USC, with Reggie Bush 151 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: out there not really playing because those games didn't count. No, 152 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: I think they brought him back eventually. Do you ever 153 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 2: get his heisman back? Who cares? But IWA was shredding 154 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: USC's line in the first half. It had me thinking 155 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley built their O line out of Lincoln logs 156 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: and popsicle sticks, and their quar quarterback Jade Mayava, he 157 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: kind of has an issue when he's under duress. He 158 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: completes seventy six percent of his passes with a clean pocket, 159 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: just thirty nine percent when he's under pressure, so it 160 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: kind of matters, and they were just letting guys get 161 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: three shots on him in the first half. Meanwhile, i WA, 162 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: their anemic offense, allegedly scored on three of their first 163 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: four possessions and completed a Philly special touchdown on USC. 164 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: So they lead twenty one to ten at the half 165 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: at the Rainy Coliseum. They had out gained USC two 166 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: hundred and twelve yards to one fifty six. Notre Dame 167 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: fans were saying, at this rate, USC is going to 168 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: demand they play Iowa in September as well. Things looked 169 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 2: that bleak, but then USC's defense stood strong, not allowing 170 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: a point in the second half. McKayle Lemon ended up 171 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: with one hundred and fifty yards a touchdown. He was brilliant. 172 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: Ryan Jackson had to go ahead touchdown, but I was 173 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: still had it down. Five was just two minutes left 174 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: on a fourth and six and the receiver, I think 175 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: it was number twenty one, Wes Welker looking guy. He 176 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: caught a sideline pass but his toe looked to be out. 177 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: I over the line. It was close enough where some 178 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: IWA fans were still irate, but you couldn't overturn it 179 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: because it was too close. The call in the field 180 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: was he was out. I'm sorry they got the call right. Anyways, 181 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: I haven't seen Lincoln Riley this animated after a victory 182 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: like ever. He was jumping around like he just won 183 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: the prices right showcase. Then the clouds cleared a rainbow 184 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: shot over the colisseum as the rain subsided, and it 185 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 2: looked like he found his pot of gold at the 186 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: end of the rainbow or something. With the way he celebrated. 187 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: He needs to relax because they're going to Austin next week, 188 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 2: and uh, I believe my Ducks are going to hand 189 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: usc their third loss. But because it's organ up at 190 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: the bomb rip at the end, not even Brent Venables 191 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: was as excited as Lincoln Riley about beating Alabama today. 192 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: As for why number four Alabama lost to number eleven 193 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: Oklahoma at home of plays, Obama hadn't lost to an 194 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: SEC team since twenty nineteen, turnovers. Alabama had six turnovers 195 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: on the year. They had three in this game alone 196 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: at Brian Denny Stadium, And look at where Oklahoma's field 197 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 2: position was on each score. They went just twenty three 198 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: yards for their first field goal, then they had to 199 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: pick six, then had to go just thirty one yards 200 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: for their only offensive touchdown, a Job Materier nice touchdout run. 201 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: They go just forty one yards for another field goal, 202 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: twenty two yards for another field goal outside of the 203 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: pick six, they only had to travel one hundred and 204 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: seventeen yards total on offense to get those fourteen points 205 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 2: in their twenty three to twenty one victory. And Oklahoma 206 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: now has a fifty three percent chance to make it 207 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: to the College Football Playoff. Whatever you put into that, 208 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: never tell me the odds, ESPN calculators and however they 209 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: figure this out with the navocates or whatever it's math. 210 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: It's a rip fifty three percent chance to make it 211 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 2: to the playoff. Cokloma. They got Missou and LSU at 212 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: home as their next two games, now Georgia and Texas. 213 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: That was really the highlight, or it should have been. 214 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: Ended up being a little bit anti climactic. I would 215 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: say it went as expected for me. I said last 216 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: night on FNA. Georgia was minus five and a half. 217 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: I felt confident in that you could lay those points 218 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: against Texas because they're lost at home to Alabama. Required 219 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: Ty Simpson to play out of his mind to win 220 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: an Athens Georgia. Arch Manning can't do that. He was screwed, 221 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: and I don't even blame him. The receivers Ryan Wingo 222 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: dropping balls like Texas. They were zero to six on 223 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: third downs in the first half. They couldn't get anything going. 224 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: And then when they finally did, Georgia responded with that 225 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: ten place seventy three yard drive. They converted multiple fourth 226 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: downs touchdown to Humphreys, then Kirby Smart. This guy great kid. 227 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: Don't get cocky kid anymore. He's an expert. Maybe it 228 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: seems to me like you're an expert. They go for 229 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: the on side kick catch. Texas completely by surprise. They 230 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: knew earlier in the week that Georgia would try something 231 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: special with their special teams. They knew it was coming. 232 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: They still couldn't stop it. Georgia got the ball back 233 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: scored again. The game was basically over. I think there 234 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: was an outside chance of Texas making it as a 235 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: three loss team if they were more competitive in this 236 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: game and won out, which would mean beating Texas A 237 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: and M in their final game. But uh, that's gone. 238 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: That's over. The bomb's lost, the Burt Orange or burnt, 239 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: it's over, Burt toast. They're not making the College Football 240 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Playoff and they shouldn't. It was strange to me the 241 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 2: committee had them tenth. They had two losses. Notre Dame 242 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: also had two losses in their ninth. You can see 243 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: this is brand recognition here. This is what happens. They 244 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 2: get more of the benefit of the doubt. But Texas 245 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: lost that first game of the season on the road 246 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: to Ohio State, and I guess their logic was they 247 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: lost close to the number one team in the country, 248 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: so we're not gonna let that hold them back. But 249 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: they hadn't looked great. They lost a FLOORDA on the road. 250 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: They were playing better, but they still to scrape by 251 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: and a couple of road games that went to overtime. 252 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: I never bought into it, I mean after at least 253 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: the first couple weeks, because I did feel like coming 254 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: into the season, we all bought into arch Manning being 255 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: better than this. Very disappointing for them. They have to 256 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: be out now. With three losses, it's over. Oklahoma jumps them. 257 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: They're the big winner. I guess moving up beating number 258 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: four or Alabama this week Georgia, they could take Alabama 259 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: spot now and move up right behind Texas A and 260 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: M in the four slot. Ohio State, Indiana, Texas, A, 261 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: and M. All them won convincingly or impressively. Texas A 262 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: and M. I know they had to come back, but 263 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: the committee loved it last week when Indiana did it 264 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: against Penn State, so they're going to reward them too, probably, 265 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: but Texas is gone. You're out, b Yu. They ended 266 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: up winning right against the horn Frogs bri They beat 267 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: TCU right, okay, forty four to thirteen. It wasn't much 268 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: doubt they were able to get that done, but they 269 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: still lost to Texas Tech convincingly. Now if they get 270 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: him in the Big twelve Championship game, which likely will, 271 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: and then beat them, then then you could have some 272 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: chaos with two Big twelve teams getting in because Texas 273 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: Tech handled their business today too. All Miss though a 274 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: little sketchy. I don't know if you're Florida and you're 275 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: apparently offering Lane Kiff in a blank check to come there, 276 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: and then he's down to Florida in the first half 277 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: of that game. They would eventually win, but that's not great. 278 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: Ole Miss final score thirty four to twenty four over 279 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: Florida at home, but they were down to the half. 280 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: Now Lane Kiffin supposedly gets his pick. Does he want 281 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: to go to Florida? Does he want to go to 282 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: LSU Arkansas Auburn. Now there's a rumor forget all that 283 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: he'd go the Pros, he'd go the New York Giants 284 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: and hook back up with his former quarterback in Jackson Dart. 285 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: That would be interesting. 286 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: Maybe you and I could partner up. 287 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: But he's getting what it starts, a ten million year 288 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: if he stays in college, he's in good shape either way. 289 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: I just he's the best guy available. I don't know 290 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: if the options are great, and still have my concerns 291 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: over him. Great play caller, but that game was far 292 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 2: too close for comfort against a prospect or prospective college 293 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: that he could be at next. All in all, pretty 294 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: good week O OKLAMBA game was great. Texas Georgia. Could 295 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: have been better. It would be better if we had 296 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 2: Petrick Papadaka's coming on next. We'll see. We're floating things 297 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: right now. I got a lot to get into though. 298 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 2: We got geek news. We got stranger than fiction.

We just went through 321 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: our college football rap a few minutes ago, Tupac Shakur. 322 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: It's not that type of rap. It was not just 323 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: a bit of a recap. But we got more en you. 324 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: We got NFL coming up. We're going to get into 325 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: every matchup in week eleven and rank them. Matchup power 326 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 2: rankings is how I like to put it here. I 327 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: do think something bears mentioning maybe it's me. Maybe it's 328 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: just me and Mark. Maybe you could support me with 329 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 2: some roundball rock here. But I am into the early 330 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: NBA season. Now. I know you may say I'm biased 331 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: because I work for the Clippers, because the studio hosts 332 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 2: for the pre half and postgame on the radio side, 333 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: and I have to be I'm telling you though, Oh, 334 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: Mark was slick with it. How are you that quick? 335 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: Is John Tesh in the room with us? Amazing the skills? 336 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: Speaking of this NBA season so far, I know you're 337 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: ignoring it because of football. It has been that good 338 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: to start things off tonight. What did you get? Oh, 339 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: you know, Luca don just dropping forty? Okay, see plan 340 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: best team in the world by far. Nikola Jokich is 341 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: no Joe Kitsch, who I saw go for fifty five 342 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: in LA on Wednesday, and Denver Nuggets fans started trolling 343 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: me because they watched the postgame show and saw how 344 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 2: much love I was giving Nikola Jokic. It's like, what 345 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: am I supposed to do? I know I'm working for 346 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: the Clippers here, but the story was Jokich having fifty 347 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: five and it looked like light work out there and 348 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: then Kendrick Perkins comes out and says, basically, with what 349 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: he does on a nightly basis, with his highlights, it 350 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: puts Hakeem Elijah Wan to shame. Now is that too far? 351 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 2: Is that hyperbolic? Is that a hot take? Of course 352 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: it's Kendrick Perkins. He's been wrong before. I don't know 353 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 2: if you guys remember his Nico Harrison tweet saying the 354 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: Mavericks won the trade, you dumb ass. Okay. He was 355 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: getting lit up for that one earlier this week because 356 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: everybody was reminding him. It wasn't just old takes exposed. 357 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: He was the one guy that was sure that the 358 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: Mavericks won the trade with the Lakers trading away. Luka 359 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 2: Dancic and I do have a hit piece coming out 360 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: later on Nico Harrison because I have to go after 361 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: him after he was fired earlier this week. It was inevitable. 362 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: But his latest comment, which might also age poorly, although 363 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: because of Akim's age, it's not like he's coming back 364 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: to prove that he's better than Niko Jokic. Jokic is 365 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 2: amazing on the offensive end. He is a much better 366 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 2: passer than Hikim olijh Wan there is no comparison there. 367 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: He is more of an offensive hub that you play 368 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 2: through than maybe Hikeem was because of that playmaking ability, 369 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: because he leads the league and assists so far, and 370 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: in that game where he dropped fifty five on the 371 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: Clippers a couple of days ago, they basically said, we're 372 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: gonna make him score. I don't know if it was 373 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 2: a great game plan. They said, we're taking away his passings, 374 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: that he's only gonna get six assists, We're taking away 375 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 2: the passes. We're gonna make him more one dimensional out there. 376 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: Jokic said, bet, I'm gonna score fifty five both game 377 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 2: coach Lou said, okay, that was the plan. We didn't 378 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: know he was actually gonna score fifty five. Though it 379 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: felt worse like it felt like it's over nine. Yeah, 380 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: it felt like nine thousand points were scored on the 381 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: Clippers because he did it so damn efficiently. And he's 382 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: still going up against one of the better defenders in 383 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: the league, the best defender against him, and if eats 384 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: the Zubos for a lot of it. Some Robin Lopez 385 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: mak it Brook Lopez as well, but you have some 386 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: real unicorns in this League right now, special guys like 387 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 2: we've never seen with Jokic out there averaging triple doubles 388 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 2: at the center position, shooting it like he does from 389 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: the outside where I know some people hated the rule 390 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: change to where you no longer penalize somebody for a 391 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 2: half court heave at the end of a quarter because 392 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: I think it's soft. Guys should have to have that 393 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: factored into their fuel goal percentage. I get it. Guys 394 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: weren't taking them because they were trying to save their percentages. 395 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 2: That is kind of weak. You could see them playing 396 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: I think they called it ballbonic plague, where they're trying 397 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: to get rid of the basketball to somebody else so 398 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: that they don't have to take the last shot to 399 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: end a quarter. You could see that happening a lot, 400 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: especially the last few years. So guys had gotten worse 401 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: when it came to not wanting to take that final shot, 402 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 2: so they changed the rule. But the thing is Jokic 403 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 2: would always do it. He didn't care. Jokic would take 404 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 2: that shot. Three point percentage be damned well. Last season 405 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: ekally Jokic he ended up shooting. If you take out 406 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: those heaves from distance like forty five percent from three 407 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 2: on decent volume for a big man. He was at 408 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: forty two percent from the floor or excuse me, from 409 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: three overall. But you take away all his half court 410 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: heaves that aren't exactly as representative for your three point percentage. 411 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: And that's why I don't mind the rule being changed. 412 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 2: I want to know how good a guy really is 413 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: at taking threes, not half court shots or seventy footers, 414 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: and those got factored in previously to the three point percentage. 415 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: But if you take those out. For Jokic last season 416 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: he shot like forty five percent from three, that might 417 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 2: have been the difference for him winning MVP over Shay 418 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: in the regular season. Now he lost to him in 419 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: the second round in seven games. But we are looking 420 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 2: at stuff we've never seen before. So even though Kendrick 421 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: Perkins may have committed blasphemy saying that Hakim Elijahwan has 422 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: nothing on Niko Jokic, I kind of understand it to 423 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: some degree because offensively, Hakim did not have touch around 424 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 2: the hoop like this. Yes, in the paint he was devastating, 425 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: dreamshake all that, but Joki is shooting like he's Dirk 426 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 2: Novinsky out there. Hakim wasn't doing that. Maybe he plays 427 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: in today's league with the emphasis on three balls, it's different. 428 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: I could see it being different. Don't get me wrong 429 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: with the old heads getting upset with me right now, 430 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: I can feel it. Settle down and break your radio 431 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: over this. I love Hakeem. He's one of my favorite 432 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: players ever and there's no comparison to them. Defensively, Hakim 433 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: Alaijwan is an all time great defender and led his 434 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: team to back to back titles in the nineties, one 435 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 2: of them when Jordan was still out for the year. 436 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 2: The other he came back and lost to the Orlando 437 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 2: Magic in the second round. But it doesn't count right 438 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: because he only played nineteen games in the regular season. 439 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: Never mind the fact that he was getting thirty per 440 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 2: game in the playoffs and looked fine. He lost. It's 441 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 2: weird watching that game six. By the way, like Jordan 442 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: losing a playoff series in the nineties, it happened, I 443 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: guess in nineteen ninety in nineteen ninety five, and that's it. Obviously, 444 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 2: he didn't play ninety nine after the second retirement. But 445 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: if you want to compare Hakem to Jokic, you have 446 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: to include defense. If you're going to say the Jokic 447 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 2: highlights far outweigh anything you saw from Hakim, you better 448 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: be specific and say you're only he's talking about on 449 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: the offensive end. And even there, Akim Elijhuan was a 450 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 2: monster when he won his championships. He was older too, 451 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: he had lost some athleticism, but there was so much 452 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: skill out there. Jokis though it's all skill. He was 453 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: never the greatest athlete. Have you seen that picture floating 454 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: around him as a kid where he's got man boobs. 455 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 2: I mean he may still have them. Not a pure athlete. 456 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: He is as skilled of a player as we have 457 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 2: ever seen, though, and seeing that in person, him dropping 458 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: the fifty five the double nickel on the Clippers last 459 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: Wednesday on I think like eighteen of twenty three shooting, 460 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: it made me appreciate just how good we got it 461 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 2: right now in the NBA. Yeah, he was eighteen to 462 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: twenty three. That's almost eighty percent from the field. That's 463 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: Julian saying. Throwing the football for Ohio State and he 464 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 2: still had twelve boards and six assists. By the way, 465 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: assists were down because he was scoring so much. But 466 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: the game isn't a great spot, especially because you hear 467 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: the NBC music. Well, the NBA is back on NBC 468 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 2: for the first time since two thousand and two, and 469 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: they're actually celebrating it, unlike Charles Barkley and the rest 470 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: of the guys on TNT, who never would celebrate it. 471 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 3: That's not goal happen. 472 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 2: Okay, they would sometimes, but most of it came across 473 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: as hate. And back in my day, it was better 474 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: this that it was more physical. Blah blah blah. You 475 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: know what's more physical having to run more miles per game, 476 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: which is what guys have to do nowadays compared to 477 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: the nineties. That's what puts more stress on your body, 478 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: more explosive movements in the half court. There is so 479 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: much more sophistication defensively right now in the game because 480 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: offenses have gotten so good. You have to guard space 481 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: because guys like Nicola Jokic, who at seven feet tall, 482 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 2: are shooting three pointers and there's nothing you can do 483 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 2: about it. But then you also can get on the 484 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: block like a cheme and hurt you there and if 485 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: you double, he's finding a cutter or Aaron Gordon who 486 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: he has, Like is it telekinesis when you can read 487 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: somebody's mind. Telepathy, Cansius is you can move things with 488 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 2: your mind. Canisis kinesiology major right here, Yeah, movement studying, movement, 489 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 2: I remember things. I'm smart here, Come. 490 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 6: On, great kid, don't get cocky. 491 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: He has that innate telepathy with Aaron Gordon. Trust me, 492 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 2: I've seen it many times so of Laker fans here 493 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 2: in southern California. Denver has dominated both teams here in 494 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 2: Southern California. But speaking of I do want to talk 495 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: about the Lakers coming up because Luca Doncion drops forty 496 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: tonight and they actually are getting more out of DeAndre Ayton, 497 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: who a lot of people be hating with, like Brewbery Heart, 498 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: let that hate out, Let it out, Brie, a former 499 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: Phoenix Sun I've I've seen your tweets. You were praying 500 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: for his downfall. You're praying to the hate basketball gods 501 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 2: that he would be terrible as a Laker. 502 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 7: I'm just saying, I just don't believe in the theory 503 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 7: of like, oh, change of scenery, everything's gonna be completely 504 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 7: better now. 505 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: You've never seen that in sports before. I mean, what 506 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: happened to Randy Moss after he left the Raiders and 507 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: went to the pass. Now, it only lasted for a 508 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: couple of seasons and then he got shipped off again. 509 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: But it happens every year, Russell Westbrook, especially over the 510 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: last few years. Come on, there's that honeymoon period and 511 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: then those same players typically end up getting moved again. 512 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 2: But for a while it works. DeAndre aid right now, 513 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 2: we'll talk about it coming back. But what JJ Redick 514 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: is doing for the Lakers, what Luka Dancic is doing, 515 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 2: and how that relates to the Dallas Mavericks and Nico 516 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 2: Harrison and something I'm going to talk about later in 517 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: the show. Well, it's special and I'm a Clipper fan 518 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: having to acknowledge this, it hurts greatly. Coming up next, 519 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: more NBA talk. I'm out of Mosland. It's Fox Football Sunday. 520 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 2: Don't worry. We got NFL all of next hour and 521 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: then some you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. I mean, 522 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 2: I just couldn't get the ball in the hall. I 523 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: wanted to, but I just couldn't do it. Adam Ashland, 524 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: Adam Ashland, Adam Ashmus, Welcome back in is Fox Football Sunday. 525 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 2: I'm Adam Osland. How you say it? Please? Adam Ashwus. Yeah, 526 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 2: I got credit cards at say La n d Asthmas 527 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: is different, Adam Ashlin. I'm fine with it. I'm over it. 528 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: People can get my last name wrong. Forever is Adam 529 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 2: Ausland at k fig one is where you can find 530 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: Kevin Figures, who I was working with last night on 531 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: the f and A takeover of FSR. Now this is 532 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: double A on FSR. Adam Ousland at follow Adam A 533 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: is where you find me on X. Coming up, we 534 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 2: will rank the matchups, all fourteen of them in Week 535 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: eleven of the NFL season. I'm looking forward to this. 536 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: We did it about a month ago. The first time 537 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty successful. I thought it went well, 538 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 2: so we're bringing it back. We're gonna try it again. 539 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: But it's unfortunately that the Dallas Mavericks can't bring back 540 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: Luka Doncics. Right now. I have more on this later 541 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 2: in a hit piece on Nico Harrison, because I can't 542 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: get enough of hating on this guy. I've been doing 543 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: the you know, the something goes wrong in my life 544 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: and certain people would say thanks Obama, something goes wrong 545 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 2: in my life. I would say thanks Nico. I would 546 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: because since nine months ago when he made that faithful 547 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 2: trade of Luka Doncic to the Lakers. I haven't been 548 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: able to get over that. It still bothers Hime, especially 549 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 2: on a night like tonight where Luca drops forty one 550 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 2: points on just nineteen shots because he got to the 551 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 2: free throw line twenty times or attempted twenty of them. 552 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: Lakers always seem. 553 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 3: To do that. 554 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: They're like a plus twelve hundred the last two seasons 555 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: in the free throw department. But he now has more 556 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: forty point games so far this season, and it's early, 557 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: it's only November, than the Dallas Mavericks have wins. He 558 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 2: has four forty point games. Dallas has three wins. It 559 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: gets worse by the day. It doesn't stop. Anthony Davis 560 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: has been heard. Of course, Kyrie was out. They're lucky 561 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 2: they had Cooper Flag in the draft. Nico Harrison tried 562 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 2: to act like that was part of the vision. Please, 563 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: you had like a one point six percent chance of 564 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 2: getting the number one pick in the draft. You lucked 565 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: into that had nothing to do with it. I mean, 566 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 2: never tell the odds. How does this happen for the 567 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 2: Lakers of all teams? I know Laker fans are happy 568 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 2: hanging the Nico Harrison banner or Jersey retire it. Maybe 569 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 2: he'll end up in the front office at some point 570 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: once the dust settles. But in Dallas there was a 571 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: full revolt for a good reason. When you have seen 572 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 2: Luka Naciz lose weight look better than ever. He hits 573 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 2: like five step back three pointers tonight in Milwaukee against 574 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: the Bucks. The Lakers have been undermanned and they continue 575 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: to win. Anyways, everything's coming up roses for them, and 576 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: meanwhile you're laying the flowers of the cemetery for what's 577 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: happened to the Dallas Mavericks. They got Cooper Flag, but 578 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: it's a lost season for them. 579 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: Now. 580 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: They could have a huge sell off Anthony Davis, he 581 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: could be traded. Everybody outside of Cooper Flag is expendable. 582 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: Klay Thompson, who has been shooting like twenty five percent 583 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 2: from the field. I don't know who's going to want 584 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 2: to trade for that, but he's available. If you're wondering 585 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 2: somebody else who could be available after this season because 586 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 2: he has a player option for eight million dollars. That 587 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 2: would be DeAndre Ayton, who is eating right now as 588 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 2: a member of the Lakers. You may remember him during 589 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one Phoenix Sun's run to the NBA Finals, 590 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: where they were up two to oh to the Milwaukee Bucks, 591 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: only to lose the next four games. He played pretty 592 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 2: darn well throughout those playoffs. Saw him against my Clippers 593 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 2: the valuep as they call it, the inbounds play at 594 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: the end of Game two, where Steven A. Smith and 595 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 2: Michael Wilbond's mouths were a jar, just a gape open. 596 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 2: I DeAndre Aiden being this good, I knew it could 597 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 2: turn around. I did not think to this degree this 598 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 2: early in the season. Now context, lebron James still out 599 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 2: for the Lakers. They still have to re implement him 600 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 2: at some point, and right now it's hilarious. Austin Reeves 601 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 2: postgame after their victory tonight in Milwaukee was like, can 602 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 2: you believe it? Bronnie James was starting tonight for the Lakers. Meanwhile, 603 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 2: his dad is in the G League on a rehab 604 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: assignment coming back from age injuries. I think it's a 605 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 2: foot injury. They're bringing him along slowly. But DeAndre Aiden 606 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 2: had twenty and ten on nine to thirteen shooting. Is 607 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 2: guarding Giannis Denikoumpo out there and looks closer to the 608 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 2: guy that was drafted first overall back in twenty seventeen, 609 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, somewhere in there by the Phoenix Suns who 610 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 2: could have had Luka Doncics. By the way, now they're 611 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 2: playing together in Los Angeles, and DeAndre Ayden looks like 612 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 2: he has some joy. He's not just removed from the 613 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns and that disaster, but the Portland Trailblazers who 614 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 2: are playing better. They got stuff happening with the head 615 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 2: coach and investigation going on, but they got some young talent. 616 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: There's a reason DeAndre Ayton was available. He's been laid 617 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 2: to malcontent, a guy that never lived up to his potential. 618 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 2: But he's only twenty seven and the Lakers were in 619 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: need of front court help and they got him for 620 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: practically nothing. For eight million. I think it's part of 621 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 2: the mid level exception. And he's bawling out sixteen eight boards, 622 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 2: thirty minutes per game, a block, half a steal, and 623 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: tonight postgame he's asked in the locker room. I think 624 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 2: it's Dan Woiki of the Athletic who's asking him, like 625 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: you're a lot happier now. I just listen to this 626 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 2: audio from DeAndre A and this is what happens with 627 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 2: a change of scenery. 628 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 3: No, I want to know what's made you happiness? 629 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 2: By your time? How do you think I'm happy? 630 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: I was happy? 631 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 7: How do you feel that? 632 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 3: I don't think you know. I don't have no category. 633 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: I love everybody. 634 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 6: I love everybody, trying to less than possible to just 635 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 6: make everybody. 636 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 3: Happy, everybody accepting me. 637 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm happy. Come on, come on, you're asking 638 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 2: the questions. 639 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: That's rhetorical. 640 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 2: Listen to this movie. He's bleeping excited. Is he happy? 641 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: He couldn't help himself. He had a he had a swear. 642 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 3: You have to use so many cuss words. 643 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 2: He's elated, he's euphoric. That's what a change of scenery 644 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 2: can do. Some are gonna say that's what not having 645 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 2: Lebron James back can do. I know, I know the 646 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: Lebron haters. I call it Lebron's arrangement syndrome. It's out there. 647 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 2: He's happy now. How look when Lebron is back, he 648 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 2: gets less touches. But everything's working for them. They're playing great. 649 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 2: They had a couple of bad losses. Everybody gets killed 650 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 2: by Okay, see at least once a season, you're due 651 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 2: for that. But listen to this man again. He hasn't 652 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: ever sounded like this. 653 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 3: How do you do? I'm s number? 654 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 2: So how does this happen? Well, you're playing next to 655 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 2: Luka Doncic, who throws one of the best lobs in 656 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 2: a pick and roll in the league. Asked Derek Lively, 657 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 2: Asked Daniel Gafford, asked Niko Harrison, who should have seen 658 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 2: that and realized his worth. He's an offensive system with 659 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 2: a high pick and roll. He makes life easier for 660 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 2: big man out there. Also, ask JJ Reddick. While he 661 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: may be aging like a president right now, Jj, you 662 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 2: could tell he's staying up late, he's crushing in the 663 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 2: film room. He's bringing out the best in this Lakers 664 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 2: squad so far. He was out there wearing a T 665 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 2: shirt pregame that was half a lion and then your 666 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 2: side of the face was DeAndre eight. He said, that's 667 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 2: how he wants him to play like a lion out there. 668 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 2: So sorry, Bri. If you were thinking a leopard can't 669 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 2: change his spots just by going to another place, well 670 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 2: he ain't a leopard. He's a lion, That's who DeAndre 671 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 2: Ayden is. I'm not lying right now. Look at the 672 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 2: way he's playing, look at how good he's been. You 673 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 2: think it's not gonna last. Probably won't, But for now, 674 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 2: everything's good in La La Land with the Lakers. DeAndre 675 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 2: Aiden's had a makeover.

Now. 700 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 2: The reason for doing this is to have a callback 701 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 2: to a much simpler time. Do you believe in time travel? 702 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 2: Is that a beer at Trader Joe's. Simpler times look 703 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 2: a long time ago. For a lot of you kids 704 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 2: out there, there was no NFL Red Zone, there was 705 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 2: no NFL Sunday ticket. You were forced to watch whatever 706 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 2: regional football games you could get. It was not the 707 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 2: Coca Cola freestyle machine of NFL football like we have now. 708 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 2: You can get whatever you want, like it's ti whatever 709 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 2: you're in the mood for. If the only game on 710 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 2: was the Browns or Raiders back then, and you complain 711 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 2: saying I'm tired of this, Grandpa, you know what he said, back. Well, 712 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 2: that's too damn bad, as the meme goes, But today 713 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 2: you have all the games you want and even the 714 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 2: ones you don't want. So let's rank the matchups this 715 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 2: week from least interesting to most interesting, Like I would 716 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 2: miss the birth of my firstborn to see this game. 717 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 2: Maybe we get some NFL music here, Oh, Mark's already 718 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: on it. Now you can base it on whatever criteria 719 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 2: you want, based off the teams you love or you hate, 720 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 2: the time of day when the game is being played, 721 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 2: who you think sucks, who you think is great, Who's 722 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: good but you don't enjoy watching them, Who's bad but 723 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 2: you think they're kind of fun to watch. Here are 724 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 2: the power rankings for Week eleven of the NFL season. 725 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 2: Now we got two teams on a bye lucky for Bree. 726 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 2: The Aints are on a bye, the Colts are on 727 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 2: a bye. And we just had a game that was 728 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 2: played on Thursday. Who the hell won? Is it a weekday? 729 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 6: What was the Patriots one? 730 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: The other Patriots beat the Jets, No wonder, I forgot 731 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 2: about it as Jets forgot about it. But throwing up 732 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 2: for that game. Let's start with number fourteen. Is we 733 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 2: got fourteen matchups left here. I'm tired of this international 734 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 2: tour by the NFL. Is that a world tour or 735 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 2: your girls tour? Goodell? I shouldn't have to wake up 736 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 2: three hours after this show is done at six thirty 737 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 2: am Pacific time to watch the Commanders and Dolphins in Madrid. 738 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 2: We invented football here in America. Not sure if you notice, 739 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 2: but during the NFL combine at the forty yard dash, 740 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 2: Roger Goodell actually is at the starting block with a 741 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 2: branding iron that scorches the tukess of every player with 742 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 2: a maid in the USA mark on their butt cheeks, 743 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 2: and it also helps them run faster with a forty Yeah, 744 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: football is our game, not football football. I deserve to 745 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 2: watch even terrible matchups like in this game the Dolphins 746 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 2: and Commanders at a reasonable time. The only way I'm 747 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 2: gonna be able to do this with three hours of 748 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 2: sleep is if I use some of those illegal smelling salts. 749 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 2: The NFL is already banned, so because of the early 750 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 2: start to this one, it's not even about the matchup 751 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 2: so much. It's Fins and Commanders. I'm not getting up 752 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 2: that early. I'm just not I'm protesting. We do that 753 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 2: in America too, Brie. What's number fourteen for you here 754 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL matchup? 755 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 6: Definitely a less dramatic approach. 756 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 7: I took I did a Titans at Titans just because 757 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 7: the Houston defense is going to be like all over 758 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 7: cam Ward and I don't think it's just going to 759 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 7: be an entertaining watch at all. And I think it'll 760 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 7: be the second time they'll shut out Tennessee this season. 761 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 2: Well, Tennessee has lost like eight straight home. 762 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 7: Games, so I just think it's gonna be super boring, 763 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 7: like who cares? 764 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,720 Speaker 2: Okay, well that's a good criteria, thank you. That's why 765 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 2: it's your least watchable game this week, all right. Number 766 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 2: thirteen for me, my matchup power ranking surprisingly goes to 767 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 2: my Panthers. They're at the Falcons. We just lost to 768 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 2: the Saints. The season is over. If you're lose to 769 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 2: the Saints, you are never seeing football Heaven. I'm back 770 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 2: in Panthers football hell, where we either have a ginger 771 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 2: at quarterback or a guy shorter than his bobblehead in 772 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 2: Bryce Young. I can see the Falcons crushing them in 773 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 2: this game, something I don't need to see, so I 774 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 2: will not be watching this match either that's thirteen for me, 775 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 2: breewich yours. 776 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 7: That's hilarious because that's also my thirteenth. And I said 777 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 7: that they're the purgatory trash teams in the NFC garden. 778 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 7: But I actually think the Falcons are gonna be like 779 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 7: have like an international hangover from last week, and. 780 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 6: I actually think the Panthers. 781 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 7: Are gonna take it and they have to bounce back 782 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 7: after beating the Saints. You know, I think there's some 783 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 7: positivity there for you. 784 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 2: Well, it's definitely gut check time after losing to the 785 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 2: Saints exactly. 786 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 7: So yeah, So, like I said, superpurgatory teams in the NFC. 787 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 6: So that's why I have it at thirteen. 788 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 2: All right, to number twelve in our matchup power rankings. 789 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 2: For me, this is Houston at Tennessee. The only interest 790 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 2: I have in this game is thinking about the Houston 791 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 2: Texans and if they have any pride that Tennessee took 792 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 2: their original team and the Houston Oilers, and if there's 793 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 2: gonna be extra motivation to beat them there or is 794 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 2: it the other way around where the Titans are like 795 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 2: we were the original Houston team. Who are these imposters 796 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 2: called the Texans we're gonna kick their ass. I don't know. 797 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 2: I just thinking about the baby blue worn by Warren 798 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 2: Moon and Earl Campbell, and I would much rather watch 799 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 2: Warren Moon play quarterback than CJ. Shroud or cam Ward 800 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 2: who might be a bust. I know it's early, I 801 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,280 Speaker 2: know it's not fair, but yeah, that is number twelve 802 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 2: for me on the list, Brie. 803 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 7: I have commanders at Dolphins, so the International Games, so 804 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 7: we just kind of flip flop those. I think the 805 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 7: Commanders are gonna get run over by the Dolphins and 806 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 7: just to kind of see all the Dolphins like get 807 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 7: all like hyped up for beating the Commanders. 808 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a. 809 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 7: Little entertaining, but like not enough for well, I'll be working, 810 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 7: so I will be here watching the game. So it's 811 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 7: more about just watching the Commanders lose. 812 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 2: Don't disrespect the Dolphins, like they shouldn't get hyped up 813 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 2: for being the commanders. They just beat the Bills, you know, yeah. 814 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 7: Exactly, but it's just like, Okay, you're beating commanders without 815 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 7: Jade and Daniels. Ooh, Marcus Mariota, ooh, that's such. 816 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 6: A confidence builder, like yay. 817 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 7: So yeah, no, I don't know, and to see them 818 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 7: all hyped up and I'm like, for what, You're not 819 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 7: gonna win your division? 820 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 6: Like, so what are we doing here? 821 00:46:58,320 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 2: Turned down?

The eleventh most interesting matchup for me at 824 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 2: least is San Francisco at Arizona taking on the Cardinals. 825 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 2: These are not the droids you're looking for or the 826 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 2: NFC West battle that you're looking for this week. One 827 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,879 Speaker 2: team in the forty nine ers is injured and has 828 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 2: been toying with us for at least a month on 829 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,959 Speaker 2: if Rock Purty is actually going to play. Brock Purty 830 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,240 Speaker 2: gonna play, it sounds like he is. I think finally, 831 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan been played some real mind games about that. 832 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 2: It's got annoying. The other is the Cardinals. They should 833 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 2: move back to Saint Louis and have Kyler Murray play 834 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 2: for the Saint Louis Cardinals baseball team, since he can't 835 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 2: be worse there than he is playing quarterback for them. 836 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 2: And I know Brissett is in at starting quarterback now, 837 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 2: but Kyler Murray apparently had a choice and he chose football, 838 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 2: and he may have chose portly. 839 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,280 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 840 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 2: Bri what's the number eleventh best matchup for you? At 841 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 2: or one? 842 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 6: We have a Ravens at Brown's. 843 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 7: I think it's just gonna be an easy game for Baltimore, 844 00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 7: like light work. 845 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't the first. 846 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 7: Meeting I was gonna say so, like, yeah, I just 847 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 7: think that this is just gonna be a turnaround game 848 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 7: for Baltimore. Then everyone next week is gonna be like, wow, 849 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 7: the Ravens are back, and you were one of the 850 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 7: first ones on. 851 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 2: That or I was exactly forgive me credit for so 852 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 2: we can. 853 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 7: Just come on so anyway, So yeah, I'm just saying 854 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,240 Speaker 7: so I think that's why. 855 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 6: It's number eleven for me. 856 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm shocked why you actually gave me credit. 857 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,359 Speaker 6: Well, I'm not saying you were like the only one 858 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 6: in the media that we are. 859 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 2: I was. I was. I was the vanguard of that. 860 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 2: I was at the forefront. I was leading the charge. 861 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 2: This was actually before they lost to the Rams. I 862 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 2: was like, even if they lose to the Rams and 863 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 2: start one in five, I still think the Ravens can 864 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 2: turn it around and win the division. 865 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 7: Odds where they still were going to win the division 866 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,399 Speaker 7: and they were. That was like the one after one 867 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 7: and five or whatever? 868 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 2: What do we say about the odds? 869 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 6: Ever? 870 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 2: All right, tenth most intriguing matchup for me is Green 871 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 2: Bay at New York taking on the Giants. Is either 872 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,879 Speaker 2: team going to score twenty points in this game? Are 873 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 2: the Packers ever going to be the macaroni with the 874 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 2: cheese heads that they were supposed to be? Is Jameis 875 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,720 Speaker 2: Winston going to throw three touchdowns or three picks or both? 876 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,319 Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess I do kind of want 877 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 2: to see his cinematic motivational speech, the rallying cry he 878 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 2: always does, and if he's gonna eat a W or 879 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 2: an L that's kind of intriguing. Either one could induce choking, 880 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 2: but the Giants are used to that at the end 881 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 2: of games anyways. So this is number ten for me. 882 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 2: Green Bay is disappointing me. I might have to take 883 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 2: an l there because they're my Super Bowl pick. I 884 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 2: might have to take a white out to what I 885 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,359 Speaker 2: wrote down here at Fox Sports Radio, and everybody chose 886 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 2: their Super Bowl matchup and who was gonna win. I 887 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 2: had the Packers, but who you got number ten? 888 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 7: And you're I have the forty nine Ers at Cardinals, 889 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 7: and I just think the return of Rock Party, I 890 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 7: think is a little bit overhyped, just a little bit, 891 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 7: because I mean they're just playing the Cardinals, like it's 892 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 7: not really like a tough game, and I don't think 893 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 7: people are gonna be like, oh, well should Mac be 894 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,919 Speaker 7: in of like Rock Struggles a little bit actually looked 895 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 7: like the perfect game to come back. 896 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 2: You're right, oh they were waiting for an. 897 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 6: Eat, like a good game to come back. 898 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 2: I give you a soft landing here, Brock, so we 899 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 2: don't have the controversy of the backup quarterback needs to 900 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 2: be starting over here exactly. 901 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 6: So that's what I think. 902 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 7: And I just also like there's some Cardinals drama just 903 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 7: with like Jonathan Gannon and everything and just all everybody 904 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 7: paying attention to, like the Kyler Murray drama with him 905 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 7: going on. 906 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 6: IR and stuff. So I think it's a little interesting. 907 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 2: So that's my number ten good call for you. Number 908 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 2: nine for me with best game on the slate in 909 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 2: Week eleven is the Bears of the Vikings. I'm interested 910 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 2: in this because you got two second year quarterbacks going 911 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,479 Speaker 2: at it and in the second matchup this season now 912 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 2: after the Bears blew it. I think that was on 913 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: Monday Night Football with the clock malfunctioned by Big Ben Johnson, 914 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 2: who elected to not kick it out of bounds and 915 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 2: therefore the Vikings got to run more of the clock. 916 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 2: He screwed everything up there, but the Bears have won 917 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 2: six of seven. However, I got a feeling the Vikings 918 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 2: are gonna win this. 919 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 3: Game total ownership. 920 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 2: I don't know about that perfect I don't know about 921 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 2: a perfect win either, but I think the Vikings are 922 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 2: gonna bounce back and get a victory again over the Bears. 923 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 2: That is the ninth best matchup to me, Bree, what 924 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:16,839 Speaker 2: do you. 925 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 7: Got I Cowboys at Raiders just like I just think 926 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 7: like the Cowboys defense versus like the really really struggling 927 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,240 Speaker 7: Raiders offense. 928 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 6: It's gonna be a little interesting. 929 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 7: I think Cowboys are gonna run all over them. So 930 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 7: I'm sorry, keV, I'm so sorry. 931 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 2: Not pass what deak? 932 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 6: Oh my god? 933 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,800 Speaker 7: Okay whatever, run pass. They're just gonna demolish them, Okay, 934 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 7: through them? 935 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 2: What you're saying? 936 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 6: Yes and so? 937 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 7: And then I'm just interested on like who's gonna have 938 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 7: like the most interesting like post game, like you know, 939 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 7: like Shpiel. Is it gonna be Jerry Jones or like 940 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 7: what's his face? Pete Carroll like old white guy talk 941 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 7: like who's gonna have who's gonna have the most memorable. 942 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 6: Like post game quote after this, And. 943 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 7: I still just think like they're just like paying attention 944 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 7: to the Raiders, and I just don't I don't know, 945 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 7: we're gonna see like. 946 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 6: Some Chip Kelly like drama. They're gonna let him go anytimes. 947 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 2: Not ship. He doesn't deserve this. No one deserves the Raiders. 948 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 6: So that's my number nine, all right. 949 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,760 Speaker 2: Number eight for me for most interesting game this week 950 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:21,800 Speaker 2: Bengals at Steelers, which I have deemed the colonoscopy screening 951 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 2: shootout between Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers. They gave us 952 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 2: the best Thursday night football game we've had in years, 953 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,800 Speaker 2: that thirty three to thirty one. Bengals win with Flacco 954 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 2: out Gray Bearding Rogers because he's got dad strength on 955 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 2: his side, and Rogers has like a mystery woman he 956 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 2: claims he married last season, but nobody's met her, like, 957 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 2: not just in his family. That's understandable, since he's like 958 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 2: a strange or whatever. Nobody in his family's met her. 959 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 2: Nobody on the team has met her. This feels like 960 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 2: Bud Bundy hiding a blow up doll and married with children, 961 00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,399 Speaker 2: like and if it was a blow up doll, I mean, 962 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 2: she wouldn't want the jab either, and that would fit 963 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 2: in well with him, which is fine whatever, everybody's got 964 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,759 Speaker 2: a choice. I'm just saying, like, what is going on 965 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,720 Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers, especially with how bad he just played? 966 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 2: Was his last game against the Chargers? 967 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:14,399 Speaker 6: It was Sunday night? 968 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was awful. 969 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 6: It was the worst. 970 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 2: That was maybe his worst performance ever ever. I'm not 971 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 2: saying something, but I'm still interested because of what happened 972 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 2: last time. What's your number eight? 973 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,919 Speaker 7: He fell to zero to three in primetime this year, 974 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:27,800 Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers? 975 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 2: Why are they getting three prime time games? Is my question? 976 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 7: I have Chargers and Jags at number eight. It's like 977 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 7: the brother Bull. It's justin Herbert versus his brother. He's 978 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 7: one of the tight ends. I think, did you know that? 979 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 2: Wait? Is that true? 980 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 3: Yes? 981 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 6: You didn't know that. 982 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 2: That's that's real. Oh my god, I thought you were 983 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 2: saying like him and Trevor Lawrence have a similar appearance. 984 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 2: At least you know that's mean? What do you mean 985 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:52,359 Speaker 2: it's mean? 986 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 6: That is defensive to Justin Herbert. 987 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 2: That is, so he's got acne. I know he's got 988 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,040 Speaker 2: Madison Beer on his side, but still. 989 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 7: I've seen Trevor Lawrence's face versus Justin Herbert's face. 990 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 6: It's not gonna rank attractive quarterbacks here. 991 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 2: I think we have to. This is a matchup beautiful 992 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 2: versus beauty and the beast, I guess in your mind. 993 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, like Prince Charming of Trevor Lawrence versus like an 994 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 7: actual attractive guy and Justin Herbert anyways, Yes, And I 995 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 7: think it's a twenty twenty three wild card revenge game 996 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 7: for their Chargers. 997 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 6: I think they're just gonna I think they're gonna kill 998 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 6: the Jags all right. I'm hoping for that. 999 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 2: My seventh best matchup Baltimore Cleveland, only because I want 1000 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 2: to see if my prediction of the Ravens winning the 1001 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 2: division and making the playoffs will end up being correct. 1002 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 2: Since Kevin doubted me, so did you probably? But I 1003 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 2: made that over a month ago. Did you guys know that? 1004 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 2: Have we mentioned that? I laid up my reasoning, some 1005 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 2: doubted my brilliance. We're on track, baby, but you can't 1006 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 2: lose to the browns lamar I need to be right 1007 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 2: about this because I'm definitely not gonna win two on 1008 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 2: two off this season against Kevin. I need to be 1009 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 2: right about this though. Okay, this is important to me. Ravens, 1010 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 2: please get it done on the road. Cleveland still got 1011 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel out there. I think Shoulder hasn't even made 1012 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 2: an appearance. That's my seventh best matchup this week, Bree, 1013 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:17,800 Speaker 2: what's yours? 1014 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 7: I have Packers at Giants, and as Jamis Winston is 1015 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 7: a former Saint, I will be rooting for the Giants, 1016 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 7: which is like, which kind of is rough because I 1017 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 7: do have a lot of friends that are like Packers fans, 1018 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,320 Speaker 7: But I just always have to root for Jenis Winston, 1019 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 7: so that's where my heart lies. 1020 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,320 Speaker 2: You have fond memories of him throwing interceptions in a 1021 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 2: safe uniform. 1022 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 7: He's a good dude, and I just think like former Saints, 1023 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 7: like I always rooted for Pierre Thomas. I always rooted 1024 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 7: for Jimmy Graham, I always rooted for Malcolm Jenkins, like 1025 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,399 Speaker 7: anybody who's a former Saint always rooted for them. 1026 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 2: So all right, once the Saint always is sayt here 1027 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,959 Speaker 2: you go. What's a ranger? Always a Ranger. I'll watched 1028 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 2: that special on Netflix. 1029 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 6: Green Ranger. 1030 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. What do you mean, Green Ranger. 1031 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 6: I don't know. I felt like that was like a 1032 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 6: Green Ranger comment. 1033 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if I should bring up 1034 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 2: what happens to the Green Ranger unfortunately, Jason David Frank 1035 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 2: my hero. That'd be too dark. I know it's late, 1036 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 2: it ain't that late.

So I'm 1055 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 2: going number six here, Brie, that's what we're on, right, 1056 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 2: I'm paying attention. I know what number it is. My 1057 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,920 Speaker 2: sixth most important matchup would be the Chargers at the Jags, 1058 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,040 Speaker 2: who you had a little bit lower or higher depending 1059 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 2: on how you look at it. After a dip in 1060 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 2: the season. The Chargers are back. But this is also, 1061 00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, the scene of the twenty seven point 1062 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 2: comeback they gave up to Jacksonville in that fateful playoff 1063 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,439 Speaker 2: game a couple of years ago with Herbert and he's 1064 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 2: got demons there and Trevor Lawrence has his own comeback 1065 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 2: cursed demons right now after the Texans came back on 1066 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 2: Jacksonville last week down nineteen. Who will exercise their de 1067 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 2: vins and who will be possessed by them and be 1068 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 2: damned forever to hell, to NFL hell. That's the interest 1069 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 2: level for me with this game. That's why I got 1070 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 2: at ranked number six here, Brie, what do you got? 1071 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 7: So I actually have Bears at Vikings here just because 1072 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 7: I just want to see j if JJ is going 1073 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 7: to like bounce back after last week he had two 1074 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 7: really really bad picks, like those really long balls and 1075 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 7: they were just really rough. And I know, just on 1076 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 7: the offensive side, they had those eight fall start penalty 1077 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 7: like they was just like a mess, offensively disorganized. 1078 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, and so I just want to see if they're 1079 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:38,440 Speaker 6: going to bounce back. 1080 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 7: And I'm also interested just on the Bear side, to 1081 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 7: see if Caleb's going to be like consistent. I feel 1082 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,919 Speaker 7: like they've had the last like two or three games 1083 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,560 Speaker 7: have been really good. So yeah, I feel like that's 1084 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 7: an interesting and how you said that? Yeah, second year 1085 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 7: quarterbacks and just want to kind of see what's going on. 1086 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 2: Well, and the Bears they're second in the NFC North 1087 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, they're ahead of the Packers. That's what's 1088 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 2: crazy again? What was I I'm an idiot, you dumb ass. 1089 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 7: It still kind of feels like a chop game for 1090 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 7: them too. Like if I if like Minnesota kind of 1091 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 7: gets there like together, then I don't know of them 1092 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 7: the Bears are gonna fall apart, and it's like, m 1093 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 7: then everyone's gonna be like okay, like Chicago for real. 1094 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 2: I feel like Minnesota's do. They are not played to 1095 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 2: their potential for a bit now, and they obviously know 1096 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,720 Speaker 2: the Bears well and they beat him in Week one 1097 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 2: on that Monday night football game. I do think that's 1098 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,919 Speaker 2: gonna be a really close game. Minnesota's defense is good 1099 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 2: enough to corral what Ben Johnson has going there, and 1100 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 2: they've been really good on that end. And then Minnesota's 1101 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 2: offense versus the Bears defense, it's given up like twenty 1102 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:43,320 Speaker 2: seven points per game. That should get JJ McCarthy better 1103 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,919 Speaker 2: looks and some ability to go through all his progressions 1104 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 2: and not have to worry about getting dumped back there 1105 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:51,800 Speaker 2: getting sacked. 1106 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 7: And like established some kind of like offensive rhythm because 1107 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 7: they don't have one at all. 1108 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 2: No, they don't, but the Vikings typically are used to that, 1109 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 2: all right. Fifth best matchup would be the Bucks at 1110 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 2: the Bills. Great game. Did I tell you all about 1111 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 2: the Dolphins being the Bills last week? Or did I 1112 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 2: tell you all about the Dolphins beating the Bills last week? 1113 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 2: That was one of my best predictions. This season. Buffalo 1114 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 2: is two and three their last five games. They need 1115 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 2: this one and so do the Bucks, who have lost 1116 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 2: two of their last three and have my Panthers breathing 1117 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 2: like a panther down their neck for that NFC South title. Now, 1118 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 2: they won't catch them because the Panthers are gonna lose 1119 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 2: the Falcons. But still the Bucks at least have to 1120 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 2: know there needs to be a sense of urgency. This 1121 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 2: is a big game for them, but the same for 1122 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 2: the Bills. They haven't looked right for a while, so 1123 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 2: this is a great matchup two teams that are desperate 1124 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 2: out there. What do you got in number five here, Bree? 1125 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 7: I have Bengals at Steelers here. They think they called 1126 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 7: it the Uncle bole last time. 1127 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 6: No, no, I know you call it the YadA. 1128 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 2: YadA YadA Greening spectacular. That's so bad. 1129 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,000 Speaker 7: I also you could also say the ar people you go. 1130 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Prostate, you took it a step further there, Brie. 1131 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 2: I didn't see that, Kevin. 1132 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,959 Speaker 7: I felt like Col's for both genders. I just feel 1133 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 7: like Prostate's very like men specific. Yeah, I feel like, 1134 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 7: you know, just. 1135 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 2: For Men Bowl, the Rogain Bowl. It's a biagraable turn 1136 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 2: left and Cough Bowl, the Bluetoe Bowl. 1137 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 7: So I also I think just for Joe Flacco, I 1138 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 7: just feel like he's gonna let it fly. All the 1139 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 7: news of Joe Burrow possibly coming back within the next 1140 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 7: few weeks or so, he's just gonna. 1141 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,640 Speaker 6: Let it fly. He has nothing left to lose. 1142 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 7: Who knows what if he retires after the season, like, 1143 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 7: who knows, So it might. 1144 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 2: Be fun they could both retire after this season. 1145 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 7: I don't care about Aaron Rodgers, I gotta say, I'm 1146 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 7: mostly all I care about heart let that height out. 1147 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 7: Before the season started, when Plank was doing the Friday 1148 01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 7: Night show, we kind of had this like bet whether 1149 01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 7: or not who was gonna look better Aaron Rodgers or 1150 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 7: the Vikings just as as a whole, just as like 1151 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 7: a team. 1152 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 6: And I just I was like, Aaron Rodgers is gonna 1153 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 6: look like a mess. 1154 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 7: So it's honestly a miracle in my head that the 1155 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,919 Speaker 7: Steelers are where they're at right now. 1156 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 6: Well, I thought they'd be a lot worse. 1157 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 2: They're reeling. They're reeling, and if they blow the division, 1158 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 2: which they're on track to to the Ravens after starting 1159 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,440 Speaker 2: off four and one, Yeah, they're gonna be taking a 1160 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 2: lot of heat, and if they don't have a winning 1161 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 2: season for the first time with Mike Tomlin, that's going 1162 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 2: to be a huge story. So you may end up 1163 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 2: being right or I guess you were both right. Like 1164 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 2: he took the Vikings, I took a biking, I took 1165 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 2: the What does that mean you're going team versus quarterback 1166 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 2: of who's gonna have the better season? 1167 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,440 Speaker 7: I'm trying to think of, Like I think there was 1168 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,920 Speaker 7: because there was always that that rumor around in the 1169 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 7: off season whether or no, like Aaron Rodgers was gonna 1170 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 7: go to Minnesota, remember that in the off season that 1171 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 7: was kind of like an ongoing rumor like debate, and 1172 01:02:58,280 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 7: like him and Koc that. 1173 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,840 Speaker 2: Was just because Brett Farv with the route New York 1174 01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 2: Jets and then Minnesota, okay. 1175 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 6: And so I think that's kind of how it came up. 1176 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,200 Speaker 7: And I was just like, well, Koc is like this 1177 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 7: quarterback whisper JJ is gonna look incredible and amazing. And 1178 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 7: I just have all this faith in the Vikings. I 1179 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 7: have no idea why I have. I have no allegiance 1180 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 7: to the NFC North whatsoever. 1181 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 2: Well, how do you feel about that prediction now? 1182 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 7: Well, I was a little excited for Carson Wentz. I 1183 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 7: thought we were gonna see a little bit of a 1184 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,600 Speaker 7: comeback story where Carson Wentz. 1185 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 6: Was it Carson Wentz or Nichols? No, No, it was 1186 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 6: Carson went There. 1187 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz. 1188 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 7: Okay, so I was picturing some kind of like comeback, amazing, 1189 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 7: feel good. 1190 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 2: All right, Carson Wentz was going to save your prediction. 1191 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 4: You could learn a lot from a dummy. 1192 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, that was not That was not my smartest all right, 1193 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 7: that's not my smartest move. 1194 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 2: The NFL makes us. The NFL makes us look stupid 1195 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 2: every week. It happens all the time. Number four, for me, 1196 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 2: most interesting matchup this week is the Monday night football 1197 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 2: game between the Cowboys and the Raiders in Vegas. I 1198 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 2: don't know why I'm having nostalgia for two teams that 1199 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 2: were once great a long time ago, like before I 1200 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 2: was born. And for the Raiders, we're talking so long ago. 1201 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 2: Mark Davis was probably a toddler when they were winning 1202 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, yet he has the same haircut now as 1203 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,120 Speaker 2: he probably did back then. They played each other just 1204 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 2: thirteen times, ever the Raiders and Cowboys. The Raiders lead 1205 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 2: the all time series seven to six. Actually, I know 1206 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,400 Speaker 2: neither team is making the playoffs, but I got a 1207 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 2: feeling we're gonna get a good Monday night football game 1208 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 2: after a couple of stinkers out there. Oh you don't. 1209 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 2: You don't believe that? Breathe? 1210 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 8: I do not. 1211 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 1: The Raiders sucks. 1212 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 2: Yes, the Raiders suck so but I mean the Dallas 1213 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 2: Cowboys defense sucks unless they turn it around with Williams. Now, 1214 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,720 Speaker 2: with Quinton Williams in what after bringing him in a 1215 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 2: week earlier, They're gonna turn into a juggernaut on that end. 1216 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 2: I don't think so. No, all right, was number four 1217 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 2: for you? 1218 01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,560 Speaker 7: I have Bucks at Bills here to bounce back game 1219 01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 7: for both. If I'm coming off losses for the Bills 1220 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 7: after like a really really really rough loss losing to Miami, 1221 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 7: I think a ton of pressure and a lot of 1222 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 7: like expectations are on the Bills versus the Bucks. The 1223 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,280 Speaker 7: Bucks are in the worst division, one of the worst 1224 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 7: divisions in football. 1225 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 2: Who else was in that division? 1226 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 3: Bree? 1227 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 2: Why would that be the worst division in football? Who 1228 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 2: would How bad do you got to be to not 1229 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 2: be able to be third in the worst division in football? Instead, 1230 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:30,360 Speaker 2: you're dead last, like your Saints. That's not the point. 1231 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's how bad it is. But I'm just saying, 1232 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,760 Speaker 6: so the Bucks is just kind of like they're they're chilling. 1233 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 6: This is in the end, it's fine. They're just kind 1234 01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 6: of hanging out. 1235 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 7: I think the more of the expectations and the eyes 1236 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 7: are going to be on the Bills. Sean McDermott was 1237 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 7: answering questions whether or not Joe Brady should be like 1238 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 7: the OC Brian da Ball got let go, should they 1239 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,360 Speaker 7: bring him back into Buffalo because of his relationship with 1240 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 7: Josh Allen in the past. Okay, so yeah, I think 1241 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 7: I I kind of think. I think it's gonna be 1242 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,439 Speaker 7: really a really close game. I also think it's gonna 1243 01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,120 Speaker 7: be really high scoring. Even though the Bucks they're trying 1244 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 7: to get their offense kind of back at Buka was 1245 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 7: back last season. 1246 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:07,480 Speaker 2: Lots of injuries. 1247 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I mean Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving aren't 1248 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 7: gonna play this week, so it's a little rough. But yeah, 1249 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 7: so I think it'll be a good game. 1250 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 2: All right. I'm with you there. I'm excited for that one. Also, 1251 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 2: this one my third best game. Lions in Philly on 1252 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 2: Sunday night football pretty cool of Dan Campbell to take 1253 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 2: over play calling duties on offense against the Commanders, but 1254 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 2: now he's got approved against a real defense. The Eagles 1255 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 2: loaded up at the trade deadline to the point they 1256 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,720 Speaker 2: may not have to rely on a gimmicky play in 1257 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 2: the push to win as many games anymore. This game 1258 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 2: though far from but I'm excited, especially since I'll miss 1259 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,439 Speaker 2: a lot of the early games tomorrow because the Clippers play, 1260 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 2: So this is one that I'll actually see later tomorrow 1261 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,400 Speaker 2: night on Sunday Night football. Been waiting no week full? 1262 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 2: So no, what do you got? Number three?

J. 1276 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 6: Brown drama. 1277 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 7: Oh okay, I just think that's gonna be really interesting, 1278 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 7: and I think Detroit's gonna take it, so I'm excited 1279 01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:39,600 Speaker 7: to see that. 1280 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I picked Detroit with the points and two 1281 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,720 Speaker 2: on two off. Since they're getting two and a half, 1282 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 2: I'm so happy for you.

They've been on a bye after 1294 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,479 Speaker 2: losing to the Bills. They're five and four. The Chargers 1295 01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 2: and Broncos are both ahead of them in the division. 1296 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 2: They need this one badly and mahomes against that Denver 1297 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 2: defenses must see TV.

It's gonna be interesting. I again, 1315 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 7: I'll never root for the Rams. I want nothing good 1316 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 7: to happen to the Rams. 1317 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 6: So go Seahawks here, I. 1318 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 2: Thought you were talking water Boy. Number one for me 1319 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,639 Speaker 2: is this game. This is the best matchup of the 1320 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 2: season to this point. I think these could be the 1321 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 2: two best teams in the NFC and they both both 1322 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,280 Speaker 2: reside in the NFC West. It's the Seahawks in La 1323 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,439 Speaker 2: taking on the Rams. They're both seven and two and 1324 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 2: looking elite, playing great football. Both don't just want to 1325 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 2: win the NFC West, they both want the number one 1326 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 2: seed in the NFC. This game moves me. It's number 1327 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 2: one for me. If there's one game, then I'm circling 1328 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,599 Speaker 2: to watch in Week eleven? This is it? What's years Bree? 1329 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 7: Obviously Chiefs of Broncos. They're just all a little flipped, 1330 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 7: all little flipped? 1331 01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 2: Why is that Chiefs so Broncos? 1332 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 7: Well, I have an allegiance to Sean Payton like on 1333 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 7: the Broncos. 1334 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,679 Speaker 2: Still after what do you mean? 1335 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 7: I guess of course, and I have a personal connection 1336 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 7: to the chief. So I just I'm rooting for both 1337 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 7: teams there, so I'm really excited for both.

You may have figured this out 1373 01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 2: over the last three months since Kevin and I have 1374 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,719 Speaker 2: been here on Fox Sports Radio. We like retro video games. 1375 01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 2: Actually have an NBA JAM Arcade one up cabinet at home. 1376 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,840 Speaker 2: Recently beat it on the hardest level in NBA Jam 1377 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:13,000 Speaker 2: Tournament Edition. Pretty proud of that, sadly, but I know 1378 01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,479 Speaker 2: I'm not the only one who's into retro gaming as 1379 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 2: a nostalgia and Memberbari prices are at an all time high, 1380 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,839 Speaker 2: So what about doing a little early Christmas shopping centered 1381 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 2: around retro gaming items. Remember the game Oregon Trail on 1382 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:32,320 Speaker 2: the old Macintosh computer where everyone makes a joke kind 1383 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,920 Speaker 2: of dying from dysentery. Well, if you ever did die 1384 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 2: from dysentery, you'd know it's nothing to joke about. So 1385 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 2: our pilgrims and ancestors from the mid eighteen hundreds would 1386 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 2: appreciate it if you'd cut the crap, since they couldn't. 1387 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 2: But dying from diarrhea leading to extreme dehydration is not funny. 1388 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 2: It's not okay, it's nothing funny about dying on the toilet. 1389 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 2: Isn't that what happened to Elvis? Anyways? As for the 1390 01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,640 Speaker 2: stocking stuffer here. You're not i to be able to 1391 01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,400 Speaker 2: fit an Apple to computer in there. But for twenty 1392 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 2: bucks on Amazon you can get an organ Trail card 1393 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:10,679 Speaker 2: game that you can play with two to six players, 1394 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 2: which is pretty cool because the original game was single player. 1395 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 2: And if your single like me during the holidays and 1396 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 2: still want to play it in its original form, go 1397 01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 2: to Oregon Trail dot ws slash Games. You can play 1398 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,200 Speaker 2: the game for free. But the card game has me intrigued. 1399 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:31,719 Speaker 2: My favorite part was hunting, like I would load up 1400 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 2: on the elk and the moose and the bison, like 1401 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 2: thousands of pounds of meat I would supply for my party, 1402 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,799 Speaker 2: which eventually would be contaminated causing dysentery. But my party 1403 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,400 Speaker 2: never starved to death. Dammit. We never had to go 1404 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,639 Speaker 2: full Donner party. I'll tell you that in Orgon Trail. 1405 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 2: What about this? For forty four dollars on Amazon, you 1406 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 2: can get a game that's a game Boy coffee book table. 1407 01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,840 Speaker 2: A coffee book not like the signelt it's a coffee 1408 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,880 Speaker 2: book table folds the legs out or anything like that. No, 1409 01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:09,240 Speaker 2: it's it's got artwork from game Boy, like the full 1410 01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:13,719 Speaker 2: color artwork unlike the game Boy, which was monochromatic. Remember 1411 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 2: the box art. It used to look so cool. It 1412 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,040 Speaker 2: was stunning, it was vibrant, it was beautiful. They got 1413 01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 2: a coffee table book for that. I mean, who doesn't 1414 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 2: want that? Why the music have to cut out? Right? 1415 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 3: Then? 1416 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,799 Speaker 2: Felt like Mark was saying it was like a record scratch. 1417 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,439 Speaker 2: It's forty four dollars on Amazon a coffee table book 1418 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,840 Speaker 2: with game Boy box art. That's awesome. I actually have 1419 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 2: some posters hung in my apartment from certain nes games, 1420 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:48,280 Speaker 2: like the box art for Ninja Turtles three, The Manhattan Project, 1421 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,240 Speaker 2: and Double Dragon two. So let's say you're not into 1422 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,680 Speaker 2: the coffee table book and you actually have a hankering 1423 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,840 Speaker 2: to play some game Boy games, but your old game 1424 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 2: Boy screen looks like disintered. You want to upgrade, but 1425 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 2: still use your old game Boy cartridges. There's a great 1426 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 2: modernized game Boy called the Analog Pocket, which presents them 1427 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,920 Speaker 2: using modern screens and lighting, and they look great. You 1428 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,360 Speaker 2: won't need the game Boy light anymore to play them. Plus, 1429 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 2: the Analog Pocket plays game Boy Color and game Boy 1430 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:26,439 Speaker 2: Advance games on it. There's also an adapter actually, and 1431 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,719 Speaker 2: this is great for me where you can play Sega 1432 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:33,680 Speaker 2: game Gear games on it, also Atari Links games, Turbographics, 1433 01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 2: sixteen Games, Neo Geo Pocket Color games, and there's even 1434 01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:39,920 Speaker 2: a way, I don't know if this is legal or 1435 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 2: not to play nes Super Nes Genesis games on there. 1436 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,759 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to cause some illegal 1437 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:53,360 Speaker 2: downloading or anything like that. I don't know. I can't 1438 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:57,320 Speaker 2: report that part. But the Analog Pocket is not cheap. 1439 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 2: It's two hundred and twenty bucks. Go to store dot 1440 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:06,719 Speaker 2: analog dot co. Another holiday gift for the retro gamer 1441 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 2: or someone you're trying to convert, well, that would be 1442 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 2: a year long subscription for a Nintendo Switch online. You 1443 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,760 Speaker 2: just get them like a little card and then they 1444 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 2: punch it in using the Nintendo Switch login or whatever, 1445 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 2: and you get a library to all those great old games. 1446 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,440 Speaker 2: And it's just twenty bucks for an entire year subscription. 1447 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 2: So you can be playing Super Nintendo games, Super Castlevania, 1448 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:38,559 Speaker 2: Super Mario Card, Super Mario World, or Genesis games, whichever 1449 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 2: you prefer. You don't have to download them. Stop all 1450 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 2: the download him. I think they just all stream. I 1451 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 2: don't have a Nintendo Switch. I just have the original systems, 1452 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,160 Speaker 2: so it's kind of a problem for me. But if 1453 01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,640 Speaker 2: you do and you want to play retro games or 1454 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 2: make someone else play them, that's not a bad idea. 1455 01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 2: I'm just saying retro is back in a big way, 1456 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:06,160 Speaker 2: and so is Oregon, Trail and dysentery. I do know 1457 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 2: a friend who had a modded Xbox the original and 1458 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 2: he had all these emulators on there. Now that may 1459 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,559 Speaker 2: not be okay, I don't know. I don't know how 1460 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 2: that works, copyright stuff, but he had like every game 1461 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 2: imaginable up until the year nineteen ninety four. I'm talking 1462 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 2: to all the old arcade games, Segah Jenisis Games, Sega 1463 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:30,280 Speaker 2: Master Games, game Boy, game Boy Color, game Boy Advanced, 1464 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,439 Speaker 2: what was the other one? Atari twenty six hundred for 1465 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:37,600 Speaker 2: Frogger and Asteroids some of the better early games that 1466 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 2: still hold up. But the arcade games with like Alien 1467 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,439 Speaker 2: Versus Predator, And I know there's a new Predator movie 1468 01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:45,160 Speaker 2: out and I'm actually hearing good things about it, which 1469 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 2: is crazy. But people said that about the movie Prey 1470 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,680 Speaker 2: that came directly to Hulu, I think, and it was 1471 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 2: only decent to me. But yeah, I'm kind of a 1472 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,840 Speaker 2: retro gamer. That's where I roll because If I started 1473 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,519 Speaker 2: playing any of these new games that were online, my 1474 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:03,280 Speaker 2: life would end. That's all I would ever do. Counter 1475 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,760 Speaker 2: Strike was enough for me to get addicted. Madden two 1476 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 2: thousand and three had me addicted back in the day. 1477 01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,840 Speaker 2: These games nowadays, World of Warcraft, where you could end 1478 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:18,960 Speaker 2: up like Cartman, just sitting at your chair strapped to it, 1479 01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,680 Speaker 2: like where you never leave the computer because wow, is 1480 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,840 Speaker 2: that addicting? That would be me. That was a great 1481 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:30,320 Speaker 2: South Park episode. So I don't even let myself get 1482 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,960 Speaker 2: tempted by buying a new system. It's all old school 1483 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:38,240 Speaker 2: for me in my trusty NBA Jam Arcade one up 1484 01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,840 Speaker 2: cabinet and those things are like, I know, it sounds 1485 01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 2: like a lot, but five hundred bucks with what you 1486 01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:48,720 Speaker 2: get fire NBA Jam one, NBA Hangtime, NBA Tournament Edition, 1487 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 2: I might get the Street Fighter one as well. I 1488 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,920 Speaker 2: might collect them all. That could be my issue. Then 1489 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,719 Speaker 2: I'm a hoarder. So yeah, all this stuff is probably 1490 01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 2: bad for you in the end. But if you want 1491 01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 2: to find someone a retro game mean gift for Christmas, 1492 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,840 Speaker 2: there you go. More double A on FSR comdo Decks. 1493 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 1494 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 2: Welcome back in It's Fox Football Sunday. I am Adam 1495 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,800 Speaker 2: Oslins Adam Ashlend get to me at followout of may 1496 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 2: on X. Coming up, we're gonna have La Murray on 1497 01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 2: from the Athletic talking about the National Basketball Association, his 1498 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 2: interpretation of the hot start for the Lakers, Luca had 1499 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:32,760 Speaker 2: forty one tonight, how he feels about Kendrick Perkins saying 1500 01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:37,439 Speaker 2: Nikola Jokic is better than Hakeem the gambling issue going on, 1501 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 2: and more of an investigation, including taking phones away from 1502 01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,600 Speaker 2: a couple of Lakers employees. We'll talk about that with 1503 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 2: La Murray, but it's NFL and it has to be 1504 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 2: because we're just hours away from the start of week eleven. 1505 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna make the claim about something here and 1506 01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,599 Speaker 2: you may not like it, but tough s, I'm gonna 1507 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 2: say this. We are all Jerry Jones to some degree. No, 1508 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 2: it does not mean we're all billionaires that own a 1509 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 2: football team in a Cadillac with steer horns on the front, 1510 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:16,120 Speaker 2: even though we're too old to drive. It does mean, though, 1511 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:22,679 Speaker 2: especially in the media, we use Jerry Jones just as 1512 01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:26,080 Speaker 2: much as he uses us, and it's clouded our judgment 1513 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,640 Speaker 2: for every move the Cowboys make. See my problem is this, 1514 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 2: we use Jerry Jones the same way he uses us, 1515 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,720 Speaker 2: and the media loves to act like they're above it 1516 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 2: for some reason. But at least I'm gonna be honest 1517 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:44,760 Speaker 2: about it with you. We're all guilty of constantly accusing 1518 01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones of only being an attention seeking merchant. I've 1519 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,120 Speaker 2: said his super Bowl isn't actually winning the big Game, 1520 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,240 Speaker 2: but just being the most talked about team in sports. 1521 01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,719 Speaker 2: I think it's true. At e three years of age, 1522 01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones, I've said, doesn't need Biager or blue Chee. 1523 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 2: All he needs is a microphone and some TV cameras 1524 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 2: to get excited. The Cowboys are his reality show, his 1525 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 2: soap opera, And like that common trope of someone being 1526 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 2: in a coma, in a soap opera, you could have 1527 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 2: been in one for twenty nine years and you would 1528 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,439 Speaker 2: not have missed the Cowboys winning a super Bowl. They 1529 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 2: have just five playoff wins total since nineteen ninety six. 1530 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 2: But winning is not Jerry's number one priority. There are 1531 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:34,840 Speaker 2: things bigger than that. To him, real power is being 1532 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 2: the most talked about team, whether you win or you lose. 1533 01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 2: The Bomb's loss. Jerry isn't competing with other NFL teams. 1534 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 2: He sees himself battling with the Yankees and the Lakers 1535 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 2: his championships. His championship transcends the NFL. He measures success 1536 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 2: by how much the cowboys net worth is relative to 1537 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 2: the top franch in other sports, and that to him 1538 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 2: is winning. The Cowboys are estimated to be worth thirteen 1539 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:11,800 Speaker 2: billion dollars, the Lakers ten billion on a pretty recent 1540 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 2: evaluation thanks to new owner Mark Walter. The Yankees nine 1541 01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:23,320 Speaker 2: million billion. So while we're looking at the standings, Jerry's 1542 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:27,759 Speaker 2: looking at valuations, we are not the same in that way. 1543 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 2: When he bought the Cowboys in eighty nine, he paid 1544 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty million. While y'all are trying to 1545 01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,080 Speaker 2: ten x some dumbass alt coin with someone's pet dog 1546 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,760 Speaker 2: on it. Jerry won one hundred x the worth of 1547 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 2: an NFL team. 1548 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 3: It's math, it's arithmetis true. 1549 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:51,679 Speaker 2: All while they won early in his time there, yes, 1550 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,400 Speaker 2: but since then he's done it all through controversy and 1551 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 2: using the press to create two kinds of people, those 1552 01:22:57,720 --> 01:22:59,880 Speaker 2: that love the Cowboys and those that love to hate them. 1553 01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,559 Speaker 2: Either way, you're paying attention though, and you have a 1554 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,759 Speaker 2: strong opinion about them, So how are we any different 1555 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:13,759 Speaker 2: when it's just about the pub. Any pub is good pub. 1556 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:18,719 Speaker 2: That's business. Let's be honest. We all crave the attention 1557 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 2: more than ever. You don't have to be working in 1558 01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 2: sports media to long for clicks. We all have an 1559 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 2: x account or a gram or some way to try 1560 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 2: and keep ourselves relevant. We've all made a post before 1561 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,080 Speaker 2: that we thought was so good that it might go 1562 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,920 Speaker 2: viral and make us Internet famous if just the right 1563 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:41,560 Speaker 2: amount of people find it or the algorithm caught it. 1564 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 2: It's all attention seeking and it's addicting. Jerry Jones found 1565 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,200 Speaker 2: a way to wield the media as his platform long 1566 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:53,599 Speaker 2: before anyone had these social media platforms to use. Sports media, though, 1567 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 2: is the most guilty of this blatant hypocrisy that they 1568 01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,599 Speaker 2: seem to ignore all the time. I do my best 1569 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,679 Speaker 2: at least be honest about it. See this whole Micah 1570 01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:07,400 Speaker 2: Parson's trade saga and the fallout. Ever since once Against 1571 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:11,120 Speaker 2: exposed the media's ultimate game, has done the same thing 1572 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,759 Speaker 2: with Jerry Jones. They're two sides of the same coin, 1573 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 2: yet one side is acting like they're above it. It's 1574 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 2: not Jerry, He's at least open about it. He said 1575 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,599 Speaker 2: this recently in an interview with Stephen A. Quote. One 1576 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 2: of the things that I can be criticized for is 1577 01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 2: doing everything I can do when not catching passes to 1578 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:33,559 Speaker 2: make us relevant. What you do, Stephen A, is a 1579 01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:39,719 Speaker 2: little bit of my philosophy. Controversy, controversy. I'm serious, dead serious, unquote. 1580 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,719 Speaker 2: If an eighty three year old man says he's dead serious, 1581 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 2: you better believe him, because, uh well, he's closer to it, 1582 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:53,599 Speaker 2: but he's right. Jerry Jones uses everyone else's platforms ESPN, 1583 01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:57,599 Speaker 2: fand old TV, YouTube, Spotify, whatever, whoever to keep the 1584 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 2: Cowboys alive and being discussed constantly. Then the talking heads 1585 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,400 Speaker 2: in the media use what he says for their own 1586 01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 2: ratings and attention by constantly leading with the Cowboys like 1587 01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,960 Speaker 2: I am in this hour and we don't have any 1588 01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 2: shame in talking about a three to five and one team. 1589 01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 2: They got a tie in there that has no shot 1590 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:23,040 Speaker 2: of winning the Super Bowl and likely is not even 1591 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,840 Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs. Then the same people accuse 1592 01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones of just being intention seeking and he doesn't 1593 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 2: care about winning. We don't either. It all works together 1594 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 2: in this ecosystem of sports media feeding the machine. He 1595 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,040 Speaker 2: needs them to keep the Cowboys relevant. They need him 1596 01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 2: to have something to talk about and overanalyze and get 1597 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 2: off hot takes with. Why talk about the Seahawks and 1598 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 2: how they dominate when we can criticize Jerry's Cowboys and 1599 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,560 Speaker 2: look down on him like we have the moral high ground? 1600 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:58,320 Speaker 2: Come on, it's over, anakin, I have the moral high ground. No, 1601 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 2: we don't. It's about the ratings and nothing else. Now, 1602 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 2: you play a part as a member of the audience. 1603 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 2: If you didn't care about them boys, we wouldn't either. 1604 01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:14,760 Speaker 2: But Jerry Jones has conditioned us to feel something. Whenever 1605 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 2: the Cowboys are brought up. They elicit an emotional response 1606 01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:22,720 Speaker 2: that is powerful. Call Christopher Nolan because he's inception to 1607 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 2: us or something like that. We've been brainwashed, manipulated. It's 1608 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 2: Stockholm syndrome mixed with psyops and gas lighting. Jerry's world 1609 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 2: is not limited to at and T Stadium. He's in 1610 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 2: our dome, taking up as much space as his Big 1611 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 2: Hoss JumboTron does. Do you know what's called that? The 1612 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 2: Big Hoss from Bonanza? However, just because Jerry Jones cares 1613 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 2: more about being seen than being good. Doesn't mean he 1614 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,720 Speaker 2: can't life alert his way into a winning move on 1615 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 2: the field once in a while. It seems so in 1616 01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,240 Speaker 2: vogue to take shots at Jerry for everything they do, 1617 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 2: because he's such a character and a carnival barker that 1618 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,559 Speaker 2: when they actually do something smart the Cowboys, people miss 1619 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 2: it as the boy who cries wolf for them, boys 1620 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 2: who cry how about the Cowboys far too often and 1621 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,559 Speaker 2: we stop believing them. But they might have actually done 1622 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,760 Speaker 2: something right here. Remember my argument for getting rid of 1623 01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 2: Micah was just I can't justify paying him that much 1624 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 2: for this Cowboys team because he won't put them over 1625 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 2: the top. He was there last year, the defense was 1626 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,760 Speaker 2: still bad. But with their latest move, they get Quinn 1627 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 2: Williams in there, who will be available against the Raiders 1628 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,160 Speaker 2: on Monday Night. The national media looks a little lost, 1629 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 2: little lost in Jerry sauce, which would be I guess 1630 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,240 Speaker 2: oil in this case, which is how it all started 1631 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,400 Speaker 2: for him. But the national media keeps wondering why the 1632 01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 2: Cowboys are making a trade that's not going to save 1633 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:58,839 Speaker 2: this season. That's okay, Quinn Williams, He's not a rental. 1634 01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 2: He's around for at least two more years after this. 1635 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 2: I could see why they would want to keep the 1636 01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 2: dak era going. He's been great this season, So this 1637 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 2: isn't some overreaction move to shut up the haters by 1638 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 2: trading Michaeh Parsons and getting Quentin Williams. At the end 1639 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,320 Speaker 2: of this, as we sort through the wreckage of what 1640 01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:27,040 Speaker 2: the Micah Parsons move was, that actually makes a lot 1641 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 2: of sense because now you have a cornerstone piece to 1642 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,519 Speaker 2: build around and a direction with how to fill out 1643 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,280 Speaker 2: the rest of your ten guys, starting on defense. It's 1644 01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,680 Speaker 2: pretty low risk. You're giving up the better of your 1645 01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 2: two first round picks in twenty twenty seven, that's fine, 1646 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,439 Speaker 2: you still have three in the next two years. This 1647 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:47,839 Speaker 2: isn't some overcompensating move because they traded away Micah Parsons. 1648 01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 2: This guy's getting paid twenty million less per season. Like, 1649 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 2: I don't understand people in the media criticizing Jerry Jones 1650 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 2: for this move because of past failures. Just look at 1651 01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:01,040 Speaker 2: each case by case basis. In this case, I heard 1652 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:05,400 Speaker 2: Jason McIntyre say, smart team stan pat bad teams overreact 1653 01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 2: and make moves of the deadline. Well, I don't know. 1654 01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,400 Speaker 2: The Eagles didn't stand pat and they're the world champs. 1655 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,680 Speaker 2: Sure seems like the move for Jalen Phillips worked out 1656 01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 2: on Monday night as they beat the Packers and Michael Parsons, 1657 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 2: by the way, who many have thought has been a 1658 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:24,200 Speaker 2: little bit underwhelming so far with the Packers, Quinn Williams 1659 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 2: is making less than half of what he does. The Packers, meanwhile, 1660 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:31,040 Speaker 2: have a high bar too clear. In order to win 1661 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,360 Speaker 2: the Micaeh Parsons trade, they have to win the Super Bowl. 1662 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:35,599 Speaker 2: If they do that, Mike has a couple of sacks, 1663 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,799 Speaker 2: the Cowboys have lost the trade. But if the Cowboys 1664 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 2: end up holding onto George Pickens because of this, in 1665 01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,960 Speaker 2: have Quinn Williams and an extra first round pick for 1666 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:50,040 Speaker 2: trading Michael Parsons. I think Jerry Jones is gonna be 1667 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 2: the one looking like he got out at the right 1668 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 2: time for making a long term investment in a pass 1669 01:29:55,160 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 2: rushing specialist. We shall see, but the Cowboys being good 1670 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 2: is mostly just Jerry side mission. But he may have 1671 01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 2: got it right this time with a move that could 1672 01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:11,680 Speaker 2: make them better on the field. Coming up next, we 1673 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:15,799 Speaker 2: got La Murray of the athletic talk in the NBA. 1674 01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 2: He's a close personal friend.

No, when I 1715 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,720 Speaker 2: think of the people I trust the authorities of the Association. 1716 01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:34,599 Speaker 2: I think of a man of the law. I'm talking 1717 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 2: about lat Murray, who covers the NBA locally in Los 1718 01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 2: Angeles and nationally for the athletic at LA Murray, the 1719 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,960 Speaker 2: NU is where you find him. Ala, thanks for joining 1720 01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 2: me here on Fox Sports Radio. 1721 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 3: And no doubt thanks you having me. Man. 1722 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,200 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Lakers getting another victory tonight, Luca 1723 01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:55,120 Speaker 2: Donson shop's forty one points they win in Milwaukee. Are 1724 01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:58,320 Speaker 2: they moving up in your leaderboard or your power rankings 1725 01:32:58,320 --> 01:32:59,760 Speaker 2: from where you had them before the season. 1726 01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:03,679 Speaker 3: So, I mean, I pretty much would say they're about 1727 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:07,880 Speaker 3: where I expected them to be. I think they had 1728 01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,920 Speaker 3: a really good nights at night, in particular, going up 1729 01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 3: thirty against Milwaukee on the second night at back back 1730 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,880 Speaker 3: end of a road ship roadchip that I started that 1731 01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,559 Speaker 3: roadchip in Atlanta, and they did not play well in 1732 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 3: Atlanta at all, like they were Yeah, that was why 1733 01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:32,000 Speaker 3: their worst game this season right there. They responded for 1734 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,320 Speaker 3: the most part in Charlotte, and then they were terrible 1735 01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 3: in Oklahoma City. Like in a rest advantage, like Oklahoma 1736 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:43,360 Speaker 3: City is miles ahead of everybody else in the league 1737 01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:48,200 Speaker 3: right now, but a good team wins more of their 1738 01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,080 Speaker 3: road games than they lose them, and the Lakers went 1739 01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 3: three and two on this roadship. They're ten and four 1740 01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:57,439 Speaker 3: in the season. They've been shorthanded for I mean, if 1741 01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 3: you count Lebron all of their games, but even not 1742 01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 3: counting Lebron, like Alton Resa's missed games. He missed the 1743 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,679 Speaker 3: beginning of the trip with Roy Sureness, and then Luca's 1744 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 3: missed a few games. And I do lucas as many 1745 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,400 Speaker 3: forty point games already this season as he had all 1746 01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:18,800 Speaker 3: of last season Mavericks vand Leakers combined. And so the 1747 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 3: Lakers are They're they're winning games with their offense. But 1748 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:25,479 Speaker 3: I'm telling you this Saturday night against in Milwaukee was 1749 01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:29,160 Speaker 3: quite encouraging from a defensive standpoint. I think Deander Ayton's 1750 01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 3: played extremely well. Ayton's got almost as many twenty ten 1751 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,880 Speaker 3: games this season as he had all of last season. 1752 01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,840 Speaker 3: And we're not even at Thanksgiving yet, So guys authentsively, 1753 01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,840 Speaker 3: I think are playing well. Outside of some shooting woes. 1754 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 3: The team does not shoot the three well, but I 1755 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,879 Speaker 3: just know that they're incomplete right now. The final assessment 1756 01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,920 Speaker 3: with the Lakers not the final, but the big next 1757 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:57,839 Speaker 3: assessment is obviously going to come with Lebron games return 1758 01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 3: and how that affects everybody from Luca going down to 1759 01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:04,480 Speaker 3: who keeps their rotation spots through sign stocks. 1760 01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:06,639 Speaker 2: And speaking to that. What do you make of the chatter? 1761 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:09,280 Speaker 2: Maybe it's just hate, but people saying he's going to 1762 01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 2: make them worse, He's going to upend things when Lebron 1763 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:12,839 Speaker 2: James returns. 1764 01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:16,160 Speaker 3: I don't think it's completely unsounded. Like I'm probably going 1765 01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:20,960 Speaker 3: to write about it shortly. Actually, like Lebron was a 1766 01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,800 Speaker 3: player who I think Lebron the attention Lebron gets helps 1767 01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:29,080 Speaker 3: those other guys as far as the mileage on them, 1768 01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:32,400 Speaker 3: specifically Luca and Austin. But Lebron on the floor is 1769 01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:35,599 Speaker 3: going to It's going to have some advantages, but it's 1770 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,280 Speaker 3: also going to have some disadvantages as well, Like you're 1771 01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,000 Speaker 3: throwing a forty year old out there who hasn't played 1772 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:43,759 Speaker 3: an NBA game in six months. Like, yeah, I don't 1773 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 3: anticipate that it's going to be completely smooth for everybody, 1774 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:52,800 Speaker 3: so there will be complications, but I would qualify that 1775 01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 3: as a good problem to have what Lebron's on their back. 1776 01:35:56,680 --> 01:36:00,479 Speaker 3: So I mean Lebron, Austin, Luca on the floor together 1777 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,840 Speaker 3: a defensive disaster last year, both in the regular season 1778 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 3: and the playoffs. I don't expect them to be great 1779 01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:10,559 Speaker 3: defensively all of a sudden with Lebron on the floor, 1780 01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:14,000 Speaker 3: of those two dudes, at least a start and maybe 1781 01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,680 Speaker 3: all season, we just got to see offensively again. I 1782 01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 3: think it's going to help a lot of things. But 1783 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,880 Speaker 3: Luca's gonna be the guy that the team plays, or 1784 01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 3: we'll see how Lebron adjusted at and then Austin reason 1785 01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:28,679 Speaker 3: is going to lose touches. Austin's had a great start 1786 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:32,080 Speaker 3: to the season the under eight and again and touches 1787 01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:35,840 Speaker 3: have been really good. I just mentioned the twenty ten parts. 1788 01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 3: I mean Lebron doesn't take shouldn't take the rebounds away. 1789 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,519 Speaker 3: No one cares about that. That's a team thing. But 1790 01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:46,240 Speaker 3: we'll see how engaged DeAndre Eighton is when he gets 1791 01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 3: even fewer touches an he already gets. So you know, 1792 01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:52,719 Speaker 3: it's a little bit of both, Like you want Lebron 1793 01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:55,720 Speaker 3: James on your team and then the lineup and to 1794 01:36:55,760 --> 01:37:00,400 Speaker 3: figure that out. But for anyone who understands that, like 1795 01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:03,080 Speaker 3: there will be complications with a player of that magazine 1796 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 3: coming back, it's not unfounded. 1797 01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 2: NBA expert Law Murray from the Athletic joins me here 1798 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,679 Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. So a Law you mentioned Luka 1799 01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:14,519 Speaker 2: Doncis last season. He already has more forty point games 1800 01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 2: this season than the two teams he played for combined 1801 01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:19,640 Speaker 2: last year. So we're going back to the Dallas Mavericks here, 1802 01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,880 Speaker 2: and I want to ask you about Nico Harrison being 1803 01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:24,839 Speaker 2: let go this past week. Were you surprised that it happened? 1804 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:25,160 Speaker 3: Now? 1805 01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,519 Speaker 2: Why do you think the timing led to it happening? 1806 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:29,920 Speaker 2: Was it just a Mavericks slow start? Was there more 1807 01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:30,240 Speaker 2: to it? 1808 01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,439 Speaker 3: Well, the Mavericks were not good when I don't know 1809 01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:35,360 Speaker 3: a lot of people thought they'd be good. I really 1810 01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:39,080 Speaker 3: do not know. Like there are some teams that obviously 1811 01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:44,080 Speaker 3: my assessment of them is not going to your selected 1812 01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:47,759 Speaker 3: accurately right now. But I wasn't in High and Dallas 1813 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:51,720 Speaker 3: at all going into this season, and they've pretty much 1814 01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 3: been that kind of team so far. But it's more 1815 01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 3: than that. It's the fact that trading Luca was already 1816 01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:03,200 Speaker 3: a fireable offense on site, Like, you don't trade a 1817 01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,640 Speaker 3: dude like Luca Pierio. I don't care what the package is. 1818 01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:10,120 Speaker 3: The package was unacceptable. They got an older player back, 1819 01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:13,840 Speaker 3: a guy who's more injury prone, a guy who is 1820 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:17,519 Speaker 3: not a not nearly the same kind of offensive hub. 1821 01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 3: You can say defense matters, it's like yeah, but like, 1822 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,720 Speaker 3: who cares about your defense if you can't score and 1823 01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:27,559 Speaker 3: the Mavericks are actually last time I checked the top 1824 01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 3: five defense, they can't score it. Of course you're a 1825 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,439 Speaker 3: top five defense. You can't score enough points for that 1826 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,719 Speaker 3: for teams to be like, we need more points against 1827 01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:39,960 Speaker 3: your need, right, But the biggest thing is the relationships. 1828 01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,760 Speaker 3: Like any anything that breaks down in professional sports, this 1829 01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 3: is a business, and a business isn't just wins and losses. 1830 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:52,800 Speaker 3: It's how do you relate to every one of your stakeholders, 1831 01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:55,080 Speaker 3: from the ownership on down to the people who have 1832 01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:57,800 Speaker 3: to fill your ring. And the arena was toxic, and 1833 01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,320 Speaker 3: the guy that has to be most responsible or that 1834 01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,640 Speaker 3: part of things lost trust, and the guy who was 1835 01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 3: running his team. There was a lot of miscalculations again, 1836 01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:10,040 Speaker 3: even getting to the point where you think trading Luka 1837 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,800 Speaker 3: Doncic is the right move, especially coming off of the 1838 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 3: season that Dallas are coming off of in twenty twenty four, 1839 01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,800 Speaker 3: that was unacceptable on site. And the only thing that 1840 01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:21,679 Speaker 3: could have saved Nico Harrison's job is Cooper flag being 1841 01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:25,479 Speaker 3: so good right away that they were winning games and 1842 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,599 Speaker 3: ad buys Miko Harrison time. Nico Harrison absolutely was counting 1843 01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:34,040 Speaker 3: on that. Instead, they mismanaged Cooper Flagg and trying to 1844 01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 3: make him a point guard. And again I go right 1845 01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,360 Speaker 3: back to your offense. You know, top five defense, but 1846 01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:41,720 Speaker 3: your dead last and offense. Would you be dead last 1847 01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:43,720 Speaker 3: in offense with Luka Dounshell on any team? Absolutely not? 1848 01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:47,720 Speaker 3: Would you? And so that's and that's that. Like, like 1849 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:54,320 Speaker 3: Dirt Niviki said, this move probably was later. It happened 1850 01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 3: later than a lot of people thought it might have, 1851 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,160 Speaker 3: might have or should have happened. 1852 01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 2: What do you think happens to Nik Harrison? Does he 1853 01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:03,280 Speaker 2: ever get back into an NBA front office, even as 1854 01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:04,520 Speaker 2: just a lower level. 1855 01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:07,800 Speaker 3: I mean, if it's lower level, absolutely that's a possibility. 1856 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,519 Speaker 3: But I'm not sure what Nico Harrison wants to do. 1857 01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:13,360 Speaker 3: It's not like he was an NBA lifer or anything 1858 01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:15,920 Speaker 3: before this. You know, he was working at ninety someone 1859 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 3: in the bed with Steph Courage. You know what I'm saying. 1860 01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:22,160 Speaker 3: New Sneaker free agents step Turney. So Nico Harrison is 1861 01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:24,599 Speaker 3: going to be relevant. He can do whatever he wants. 1862 01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:29,400 Speaker 3: I mean, and it's not like Nico was a terrible GM. 1863 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:31,880 Speaker 3: He just made one of the worst moves ever in 1864 01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:33,840 Speaker 3: professional sports, like, you. 1865 01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,920 Speaker 2: Know, aside from that, Aside from that, not terrible, no, like, 1866 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:38,679 Speaker 2: but for real. 1867 01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,880 Speaker 3: It's like, no, the gap washing four as what I'm saying, 1868 01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:47,040 Speaker 3: Eco Harrison twenty twenty fourth trade deadline was really great. 1869 01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:51,040 Speaker 3: It was highly impactful, and he just cannibalized all of 1870 01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:54,400 Speaker 3: that by what he did the very next February. You know, So, 1871 01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:00,559 Speaker 3: Nico Harrison, I'm sure could be of value to another team. 1872 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 3: You do not. I don't see Nco Harrison ever being 1873 01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 3: in charge of another team unless it's one of those 1874 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:11,080 Speaker 3: messed up situations where Miko Harrison goes and he's in 1875 01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,920 Speaker 3: this lower level position and some team has a crisis 1876 01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:15,840 Speaker 3: in the middle of their season and all of a 1877 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:19,560 Speaker 3: sudden it's like, well, Meeker Harrison is the most qualified 1878 01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:22,519 Speaker 3: person to take over the position. All of a sudden, 1879 01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,080 Speaker 3: it's like, you need to be in a market that 1880 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:27,040 Speaker 3: can handle that kind of backlash, because that's the thing. 1881 01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:30,639 Speaker 3: It's like every again, everything that happens in the NBA 1882 01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:32,880 Speaker 3: comes down to do the fans strust you do? The 1883 01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:36,200 Speaker 3: fans want to invest in you and believe in what 1884 01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 3: your vision is. And I don't think a team can 1885 01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:41,840 Speaker 3: hire Niko Harrison to run their front office again, be 1886 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,400 Speaker 3: the face of their front office after I mean, Nico 1887 01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:48,280 Speaker 3: Harrison has a scarlet letter on him. You trade at Luka. 1888 01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:52,160 Speaker 2: Doncic, Nikola jokicch one again tonight with the Denver Nuggets 1889 01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:54,680 Speaker 2: one twenty three to one twelve in Minnesota. But on 1890 01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:57,840 Speaker 2: Wednesday he dropped fifty five on the Clippers and into 1891 01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:01,040 Speaker 2: a dome and law to me like light work, like 1892 01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:03,320 Speaker 2: it was easy for him and a lot of those 1893 01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:05,840 Speaker 2: were tough jumpers. Is he still the best player in 1894 01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:06,599 Speaker 2: the game in your mind? 1895 01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:12,559 Speaker 3: You can make the case. I mean, I still will 1896 01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:16,759 Speaker 3: put that on Shay Giess Alexander right now that Shae's 1897 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:20,679 Speaker 3: the MVP, the Finals MVP, the scoring champion, and look 1898 01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:22,559 Speaker 3: at what his team is doing to start the year. 1899 01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:26,599 Speaker 3: You know that, dude, Shaye, he can't He ain't break 1900 01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:28,840 Speaker 3: a sweat yet this year, I swear to guy. You know, 1901 01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,439 Speaker 3: maybe week one when he was playing in overtime games, 1902 01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,360 Speaker 3: but now shade drops thirty points without even eating to 1903 01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:39,439 Speaker 3: play thirty minutes and so it's close, man, Like, it's 1904 01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,120 Speaker 3: obviously going to be eye of the Beholder stuff. And 1905 01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,439 Speaker 3: Nicole's got three m MVP awards. He's got a Finals 1906 01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:52,240 Speaker 3: MVP as well. Nicola's Nicole is amazing. I mean, what 1907 01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,560 Speaker 3: was so impressive about Nicola is that dude played in 1908 01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,400 Speaker 3: Sacramento the night before he dropped the double nickel in 1909 01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:00,800 Speaker 3: LA and into it. Don't you know, Nicola knew he 1910 01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:02,840 Speaker 3: had never won a fifty point game in his career before. 1911 01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 3: No one had to bring it up post, no one 1912 01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,040 Speaker 3: had to bring it up. He brought it up first 1913 01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:11,719 Speaker 3: and not just followed up. You know, I knew, I knew, 1914 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,200 Speaker 3: but it's like he's the one doing it, and he 1915 01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:17,439 Speaker 3: knew while he was scoring. So I just feel like 1916 01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:21,759 Speaker 3: the most impressive thing about the what Nicola is doing 1917 01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,880 Speaker 3: is that this is the best defense the Nuggets have 1918 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 3: ever had. They are defending at a level that makes 1919 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 3: you think they can win a championship because the only 1920 01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,559 Speaker 3: defense better in the league right now is that of 1921 01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,800 Speaker 3: the Thunder. So it's one thing to have Nicoleon and 1922 01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,160 Speaker 3: Shay is two of the best players in the game 1923 01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:42,680 Speaker 3: it's not the two best, but they're the fact that 1924 01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:46,719 Speaker 3: they're also have the best two defenses, Man, it makes 1925 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,960 Speaker 3: you think that it's a collision course just those two teams. 1926 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:52,719 Speaker 3: I didn't believe in the Denver defense going into this season, 1927 01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,240 Speaker 3: but the more we get into the start of the year, 1928 01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,559 Speaker 3: the more that sample size increases, the more you start 1929 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,479 Speaker 3: to believe it. And some of it is Jedi, some 1930 01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:05,960 Speaker 3: of it is teams that missed their three pointers more 1931 01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:08,639 Speaker 3: against and Nuggets than almost any team in the league. 1932 01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,240 Speaker 3: Those are things that tend to turn around over the 1933 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,240 Speaker 3: course of the year. I don't know if teams are 1934 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 3: going to shoot thirty percent from three against the Nuggets 1935 01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:18,240 Speaker 3: all year, just like I don't know if teams are 1936 01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:20,400 Speaker 3: going to shoot forty percent from three against the Clippers 1937 01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:24,440 Speaker 3: all year. But besides that, it's like, no, the Nuggets. 1938 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:27,040 Speaker 3: They have an idea how they want to defend, and 1939 01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:28,519 Speaker 3: they're executing it extremely well. 1940 01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 2: What do you make of the conversation you hear Kendrick 1941 01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:35,360 Speaker 2: Perkins say Nikola Jokic is basically putting Hakeem Highlights to shame. 1942 01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:39,759 Speaker 2: How do you kind of reconcile the new school versus 1943 01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:42,839 Speaker 2: the old school? The game of thirty years ago versus 1944 01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,400 Speaker 2: guys playing that position today. 1945 01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:48,040 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a different game. I grew up on 1946 01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:53,360 Speaker 3: the nineties, not the early nineties, but the Jordan retirement nineties. 1947 01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:57,040 Speaker 3: You know. So the centers were everything in the NBA 1948 01:44:57,120 --> 01:45:00,240 Speaker 3: in the nineties, except that they weren't winning championships that 1949 01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,559 Speaker 3: you know, not when Jordan was playing. So that's the 1950 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:08,479 Speaker 3: most interesting thing. It's like, the nineties was an incredible time. 1951 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 3: A Keem was my favorite center. He was my first 1952 01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:15,719 Speaker 3: favorite player, My very first favorite player was a Keem Olajuwan. 1953 01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,639 Speaker 3: Like I have my backhit of basket doing dream ships, 1954 01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:21,479 Speaker 3: thinking that if I could be seven foot tall, like 1955 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,880 Speaker 3: I'd be a problem, and I would be a problem 1956 01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,840 Speaker 3: about set tall. Fortunately, I'm only six feet tall, six 1957 01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:30,200 Speaker 3: sixth wings man, but only sixty tall. So like the 1958 01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:33,640 Speaker 3: thing with Nicola, compared to it, like a Keen is 1959 01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:36,519 Speaker 3: one of the best centers to compare yourself to. You 1960 01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:40,120 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, because Hakeeen has relevance today. Hakeem's 1961 01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:44,880 Speaker 3: defense is his agility is shop blocking and then offensively, 1962 01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:47,559 Speaker 3: how he'd be able to face the basket the post 1963 01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:52,000 Speaker 3: moves Like guys still go to Hakeem Olijuan down in Houston. 1964 01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:54,599 Speaker 3: Pay a bunch of money so he can give them 1965 01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 3: a few pointers about how to use your pivot foot. Like, 1966 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,600 Speaker 3: but I'll tell you one thing, Nicole the passes the 1967 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,760 Speaker 3: ball better than the team ever. Did you know? He 1968 01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:06,720 Speaker 3: shoots it better than the team ever did. And if 1969 01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:10,160 Speaker 3: Nicola had those talents in the nineties, it would be relevant. 1970 01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:13,559 Speaker 3: And Nicola is huge. You're not going to overpower nicolea 1971 01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:17,400 Speaker 3: okids just because it's like not like Nicola doesn't have 1972 01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:21,360 Speaker 3: great athleticism. He has great everything else. And that's the difference. 1973 01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:23,800 Speaker 3: You know, for a lot of these guys. There's a 1974 01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,200 Speaker 3: lot of guys playing the day that the physicality or 1975 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:28,639 Speaker 3: the size it would be a bit of a challenge. 1976 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,400 Speaker 3: In the nineties. The nineties was bigguess the most brutal 1977 01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:34,680 Speaker 3: era of basketball. It was disgusting. If you watch some 1978 01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 3: of those games, you will absolutely understand why teams play 1979 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:41,599 Speaker 3: as fast as they do today. Like the nineties minus 1980 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:46,120 Speaker 3: Jordan almost like, yeah, it was rough, Yeah it was rough. 1981 01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:46,559 Speaker 3: Not even the. 1982 01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:51,000 Speaker 2: Lakers could play games versus highlights very different exactly. 1983 01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,240 Speaker 3: Like not even the Lakers could say NBC, NBC couldn't 1984 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:55,720 Speaker 3: wait to get out of the NBA business during the 1985 01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:59,120 Speaker 3: Lakers three PA, that's what a lot of people be sleeping. 1986 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:01,080 Speaker 2: Two was there last year? 1987 01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:04,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like nah, like people didn't like the 1988 01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:07,759 Speaker 3: style of basketball in the early two thousands, Like Jordan 1989 01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:10,040 Speaker 3: was the only guy who saved it, and so like 1990 01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:12,760 Speaker 3: when you really look at it, a King was this 1991 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:16,439 Speaker 3: era because of his agility, because of how talented he 1992 01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:20,120 Speaker 3: was as a ball handling center, as a guy with footwork. 1993 01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:23,320 Speaker 3: He could do it on both ends. Nicola though he 1994 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,960 Speaker 3: would fit the nineties really well because that dude was 1995 01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:29,080 Speaker 3: huge and post you up, shoot it, pass it. He's 1996 01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:31,840 Speaker 3: skilled with the side of the match, and that's what 1997 01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:34,400 Speaker 3: people have to realize. In the nineties, it was about 1998 01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:39,040 Speaker 3: how much pounding can you take? In this era, it's 1999 01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:42,720 Speaker 3: how can you survive in space? And how does your 2000 01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,120 Speaker 3: skill level translate into space. Some guys can play in 2001 01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:48,080 Speaker 3: both eras, but not everybody. 2002 01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:50,759 Speaker 2: There was a pause in there somewhere, but I resisted. 2003 01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:53,680 Speaker 2: It's La Murray of the Athletic joining me here on 2004 01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,600 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Low. We talked about the Lakers. You 2005 01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:58,880 Speaker 2: cover them, but you've been covering the Clippers for a while. 2006 01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:03,200 Speaker 2: In terms of what's relevant to the national audience. People 2007 01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:05,640 Speaker 2: have already started to talk about could they end up 2008 01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,439 Speaker 2: having a selloff. They're four and eight. They did win 2009 01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:11,320 Speaker 2: in double overtime against the MAVs the other night, James 2010 01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:14,320 Speaker 2: Harden dropped a forty one point triple double. But if 2011 01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:19,200 Speaker 2: things keep trending downward for them, is that reasonable or 2012 01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,719 Speaker 2: realistic for the Clippers to actually head in a different 2013 01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:24,879 Speaker 2: direction by trading some of their older players. 2014 01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,800 Speaker 3: I got it, man, it's a Clippers Like they don't 2015 01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:30,519 Speaker 3: do this, they never do. And the thing is they're 2016 01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:35,120 Speaker 3: always going to count on being good at some point, 2017 01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:39,680 Speaker 3: Like that's what they do. They always do that. So 2018 01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,080 Speaker 3: everyone will say that about the Clippers because they just 2019 01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:47,599 Speaker 3: are used to seeing other teams operate a certain way, 2020 01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:52,280 Speaker 3: and the Clippers aren't other teams. Like that's just what 2021 01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,800 Speaker 3: it is. Every time rookies top or every time a 2022 01:48:55,960 --> 01:49:00,840 Speaker 3: coach plays twelve players for some reason, or every time 2023 01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:05,680 Speaker 3: an organization decides they're too dysfunctional to continue on with 2024 01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:09,759 Speaker 3: the relationships again, like Willie Green getting fired in New Orleans, 2025 01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:13,080 Speaker 3: Nico Harrison getting fired in Dallas. It's like, what if 2026 01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:15,880 Speaker 3: we could do And it's only because the Clippers are 2027 01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,400 Speaker 3: good enough to not be good enough, you know, that's 2028 01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:22,519 Speaker 3: what it has been. They won fourteen years in a row. 2029 01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:25,240 Speaker 3: As far as the regular season, it's amounted to one 2030 01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:29,600 Speaker 3: conference finals appearance and zero NBA Finals appearances for a 2031 01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:33,120 Speaker 3: franchise that has never won a championship. Clippers fans love 2032 01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:35,400 Speaker 3: what they love, an excuse to just get off the 2033 01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:39,680 Speaker 3: ride and not care and to ask their team to 2034 01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:42,439 Speaker 3: have some new guys and new reasons to get them 2035 01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,000 Speaker 3: back to Karen. You know, like there will be people 2036 01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:48,960 Speaker 3: who get mad at the Clippers if they wind up 2037 01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:52,920 Speaker 3: turning it around like they've always done and get over 2038 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,519 Speaker 3: five hundred and get through it, like, people will be mad. 2039 01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:59,800 Speaker 3: So now the Clippers don't have their first round pick, 2040 01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:03,160 Speaker 3: even a swap situation, they don't have their first round 2041 01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:07,720 Speaker 3: pick next week, so right, and so there's whatever they do. 2042 01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,600 Speaker 3: Like you have to think about, who are you trading 2043 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:17,080 Speaker 3: your best players? What franchises are giving up premium picks 2044 01:50:17,320 --> 01:50:20,160 Speaker 3: for these guys. You have to think you can't even 2045 01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:24,040 Speaker 3: trade those guys for picking their twenty twenty six draft, Like, 2046 01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,760 Speaker 3: no teams trading that pick. You're going to have to 2047 01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:30,920 Speaker 3: bet and guess which franchise that is good now and 2048 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,599 Speaker 3: can use those players now, might suck in the year 2049 01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,920 Speaker 3: or two so that you can use their pick and 2050 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,960 Speaker 3: maybe it's higher in two years than it would be. Now. 2051 01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,120 Speaker 3: That's a calculus that you have to consider. And not 2052 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:47,120 Speaker 3: all of those teams want to upend there whatever is 2053 01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:50,200 Speaker 3: going for them so that they can integrate to James 2054 01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:52,760 Speaker 3: Harden or Kawhi Leonard or even in a it's a 2055 01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,400 Speaker 3: zoo bots, you know. And if this zoobox is the 2056 01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:58,799 Speaker 3: one guy who's in his twenties and signed for multiple 2057 01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:03,400 Speaker 3: years at through this one that like is on the 2058 01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:06,320 Speaker 3: entire Clippers roster, why would the Clippers want to trade 2059 01:51:06,320 --> 01:51:09,600 Speaker 3: that dude? He's the one guy on a long term 2060 01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:12,240 Speaker 3: value talks, right Garret jon Jeron is having a good year, 2061 01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,439 Speaker 3: but after this year, he's got one year left on 2062 01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,839 Speaker 3: his deal, you know. So that's the thing. The Clippers 2063 01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:21,400 Speaker 3: don't have guys that teams should one either now or 2064 01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:25,400 Speaker 3: the remainder of their contracts. That complicates straight value. Like 2065 01:51:25,640 --> 01:51:28,600 Speaker 3: James Harden has a mutual out in his contracts this 2066 01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:32,680 Speaker 3: offseason coming up. Who are you getting what are you 2067 01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:37,240 Speaker 3: getting back for that deal? Now? So that's the thing. 2068 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:39,799 Speaker 3: The Clippers, they want to win because of their owner, 2069 01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,519 Speaker 3: they kind of have to win. There's no incentive for 2070 01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:45,960 Speaker 3: them to lose. And they have all this built in 2071 01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:50,000 Speaker 3: equity amongst each other to suggest that they're going to 2072 01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:53,479 Speaker 3: figure it out come hell or high water. So I 2073 01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:55,720 Speaker 3: don't even waste my time thinking about, oh what if 2074 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:57,920 Speaker 3: the Clippers, Well, they're not. They they don't have anything 2075 01:51:57,920 --> 01:51:58,400 Speaker 3: to blow up. 2076 01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:01,360 Speaker 2: For last one, where you're here a law. Your colleagues 2077 01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:04,439 Speaker 2: at the Athletic, including Sam Amic, earlier broke a story 2078 01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:08,120 Speaker 2: titled NBA seeks cell phones from multiple teams including Lakers 2079 01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:11,879 Speaker 2: and gambling investigation. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? 2080 01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:14,160 Speaker 2: Are we just getting started with this stuff? How long 2081 01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:15,679 Speaker 2: is everything going to play out here? 2082 01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:19,920 Speaker 3: It's indefinite because you can't relax on a thing like this, 2083 01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:24,479 Speaker 3: Like there's going to be ongoing investigations both inside the 2084 01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:28,320 Speaker 3: NBA and now it's at a federal level. So as 2085 01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:31,400 Speaker 3: long as you have something like that, you're going to 2086 01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:36,080 Speaker 3: just continue to have threads and trails like it's you've 2087 01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:37,760 Speaker 3: opened up Pandora's. 2088 01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:40,559 Speaker 8: Box and so, uh, there's not a whole lot you 2089 01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:44,639 Speaker 8: can say about it except to say like it's going 2090 01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:50,479 Speaker 8: to continue until some of these investigations close and there's 2091 01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:54,639 Speaker 8: nothing new that pops up between now and the time 2092 01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:57,400 Speaker 8: that the biggest investigations include. 2093 01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,799 Speaker 2: Do you think we're just getting started with the stuff 2094 01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:03,559 Speaker 2: now they're starting to look into it like this, this 2095 01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:07,080 Speaker 2: could really be something even bigger and more massive than 2096 01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:08,000 Speaker 2: what it's already been. 2097 01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:13,760 Speaker 3: I mean, possibly, it depends on how many names get 2098 01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:21,520 Speaker 3: wrapped up, how many threads of information and intelligence that 2099 01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:24,719 Speaker 3: that winds up becoming public, and how does the public 2100 01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:28,840 Speaker 3: react to it, you know, I mean the bottom line 2101 01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:33,720 Speaker 3: is you can't stop betting, you know, the relationships, the 2102 01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:36,800 Speaker 3: money is too big, and all these sports league it's 2103 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:41,440 Speaker 3: not just the NBA. You see what's happening in the NCAA. 2104 01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:45,920 Speaker 3: You know, they're they're like not letting college kids play 2105 01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:50,280 Speaker 3: because of bets and things that have come out that 2106 01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:56,679 Speaker 3: are scandalous.

They have claimed to create an artificial tongue 2152 01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:21,040 Speaker 7: that can quickly detect spice levels in their food. So 2153 01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:23,920 Speaker 7: it detects the spice and kind of in it like 2154 01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:27,360 Speaker 7: relays a current of how spicy something is. 2155 01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:31,760 Speaker 6: Yes, through what It's a. 2156 01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:36,840 Speaker 7: Soft, transparent gel that consumers place on their tongues and 2157 01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:42,040 Speaker 7: it senses like the casin of how spicy something is 2158 01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:44,760 Speaker 7: and kind of relays a message like oh this is 2159 01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:46,360 Speaker 7: going to be really spicy, or it's kind of like 2160 01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:48,160 Speaker 7: a warning to your brain. 2161 01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:51,040 Speaker 2: Yes, but how does it get the message across? Is 2162 01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:53,800 Speaker 2: it like a digital thing? Is like a breathalyzer for 2163 01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:55,000 Speaker 2: spicy things? What is it? 2164 01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:55,200 Speaker 1: No? 2165 01:56:55,480 --> 01:57:00,000 Speaker 7: So it's the artificial So there's these like the electrochemical 2166 01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:04,760 Speaker 7: gel material that senses the spice from the when the 2167 01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:08,280 Speaker 7: casin binds to a capasation, which is the other kind 2168 01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:14,960 Speaker 7: of molecule, and then it just tonight, it transmits an 2169 01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:19,240 Speaker 7: electric current basically, Okay, that makes sense. 2170 01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:23,600 Speaker 2: Okay, but how do I know how spicy it's going 2171 01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:23,880 Speaker 2: to be? 2172 01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:27,480 Speaker 6: I'm saying, well, it kind of it's just like you it. 2173 01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:29,200 Speaker 2: I get a thought in my head, oh this is 2174 01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:30,240 Speaker 2: going to be really spicy. 2175 01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:34,080 Speaker 7: It supposedly it kind of just like it does like 2176 01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:35,760 Speaker 7: a little jolt of like, oh this is going to 2177 01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:36,640 Speaker 7: be really spicy. 2178 01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:40,160 Speaker 6: Okay, jult electrical current. 2179 01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:48,120 Speaker 2: So I'm getting shocked as further punishment for eating something spicy. 2180 01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:50,120 Speaker 7: It's so I don't know, I don't know what the 2181 01:57:50,320 --> 01:57:52,520 Speaker 7: what the point of the matter is. It's just like 2182 01:57:53,080 --> 01:57:58,120 Speaker 7: some kind of perception kind of experiment that's happening to 2183 01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:01,080 Speaker 7: kind of sense whether or not how spicy something is. 2184 01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:06,240 Speaker 2: Wouldn't the perception just be it tastes spicy? Like, why 2185 01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:08,120 Speaker 2: do I need this on top of it to tell 2186 01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:09,760 Speaker 2: me I know if something spicy or not? 2187 01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:10,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 2188 01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:12,040 Speaker 6: I know, but I guess it's just like I have taste. 2189 01:58:12,040 --> 01:58:15,600 Speaker 2: But like, what are we doing well before. 2190 01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:17,040 Speaker 6: You actually ingest it? 2191 01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:20,560 Speaker 2: I guess right, So wait a second, it's on my tongue. 2192 01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:21,280 Speaker 6: It's on your tongue. 2193 01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:26,080 Speaker 7: So ten seconds after the spice is playstory on the 2194 01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:30,000 Speaker 7: gel on your tongue, there's something the current will either 2195 01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:33,360 Speaker 7: like jolt or not jolt, and then it'll decrease. 2196 01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:36,600 Speaker 2: Jolt or not jolt. So if I get a jolt, 2197 01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:38,840 Speaker 2: I spit the thing out of my mouth immediately. Then 2198 01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:40,120 Speaker 2: this is gonna be bad. 2199 01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:41,920 Speaker 6: I don't want to it won't be Yeah, you don't 2200 01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:42,680 Speaker 6: want to deal with it? 2201 01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:45,680 Speaker 2: How do we know? Like the jolt isn't worse than 2202 01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:50,080 Speaker 2: the actual spiciness. That's my concern here. I don't know 2203 01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:54,200 Speaker 2: if I want the jolt. I've seen the hangover or 2204 01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:57,680 Speaker 2: you get a taser on your tongue or whatever. I've 2205 01:58:57,720 --> 01:59:00,440 Speaker 2: watched enough Jackass episodes. I don't want to, Joel, I 2206 01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,760 Speaker 2: would love to just know, like what, what's the purpose 2207 01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,640 Speaker 2: is of this? Like is this like the story or 2208 01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:09,000 Speaker 2: the contraption here to. 2209 01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,200 Speaker 6: Kind of just figure out. I don't know why. 2210 01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:13,480 Speaker 7: People usually, you know, if they have any kind of 2211 01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:17,400 Speaker 7: like sensory issues what I feel like everything is kind 2212 01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:19,720 Speaker 7: of affected, So I don't know what this would actually do. 2213 01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:21,839 Speaker 6: I just thought it was an interesting story, Adam. 2214 01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:26,120 Speaker 2: It's strange. I just don't understand it, but it is qualifying. 2215 01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:27,800 Speaker 2: I suppose it's stranger than fiction. 2216 01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 6: It is strange. Just because you don't understand it doesn't 2217 01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:32,040 Speaker 6: mean it's not strange. 2218 01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:36,120 Speaker 2: It feels geek news esque. Is well here, but well 2219 01:59:36,160 --> 01:59:39,080 Speaker 2: done by you, Bree. Now I know when things are 2220 01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:43,120 Speaker 2: spicy or not or something whatever. We got more double 2221 01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:43,839 Speaker 2: A on FSR. 2222 01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:48,320 Speaker 5: Next, do're listening to Fox Sports? 2223 01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:52,160 Speaker 2: It is Fox Football Sunday. I'm out of May get 2224 01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:55,000 Speaker 2: to meet at fallow Adam A on X coming up. 2225 01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:58,320 Speaker 2: I gotta talk about why I have sympathy for Brian 2226 01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:01,760 Speaker 2: Dable getting five this week with the New York Giants. 2227 02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:05,960 Speaker 2: Why would I feel bad for him? Maybe because he 2228 02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,320 Speaker 2: was in a no win situation. I'll tell you about that. 2229 02:00:09,520 --> 02:00:12,880 Speaker 2: But I guess it's a theme this hour of talking 2230 02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:17,800 Speaker 2: about people who were fired, because now I'm talking about 2231 02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:22,840 Speaker 2: somebody who I have no sympathy for or empathy. Condolence 2232 02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:30,400 Speaker 2: is nothing, Nico Harrison, You ever hear of the philosophy kiss. 2233 02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:33,160 Speaker 8: No. 2234 02:00:33,280 --> 02:00:38,640 Speaker 2: It's It's an acronym for keep it simple, stupid. It's 2235 02:00:38,640 --> 02:00:41,600 Speaker 2: a way to keep people who think of themselves as 2236 02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:46,879 Speaker 2: deep thinkers, people who think outside the box, well, sometimes 2237 02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:51,080 Speaker 2: they tend to outsmart themselves. Sometimes we have a tendency 2238 02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:54,840 Speaker 2: to zig when others zag. We try to a little 2239 02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:58,560 Speaker 2: too hard, to avoid the herd mentality that when something 2240 02:00:58,640 --> 02:01:00,920 Speaker 2: is so plain and obvious to others, we miss it 2241 02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:03,480 Speaker 2: because we're too caught up in trying to stand out 2242 02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:06,080 Speaker 2: as the main character in a story that we shouldn't 2243 02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:10,000 Speaker 2: even be in. That's what happened with Nico Harrison and 2244 02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:14,120 Speaker 2: the Luka Doncic trade nine months ago, eventually leading to 2245 02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:17,760 Speaker 2: his firing this past week. All Nico Harrison had to 2246 02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:22,520 Speaker 2: do was nothing, and he would still be the GM 2247 02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:27,000 Speaker 2: of the Dallas Mavericks. But then how would he get 2248 02:01:27,080 --> 02:01:30,560 Speaker 2: credit if it didn't look like he had his fingerprints 2249 02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:34,600 Speaker 2: all over the construction of the team. It's a player 2250 02:01:34,600 --> 02:01:37,520 Speaker 2: in superstar driven league, after all, So where does a 2251 02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:41,240 Speaker 2: president of basketball operations fit in? Where does a GM 2252 02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:45,440 Speaker 2: fit in? Especially when you weren't the architect and the 2253 02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:49,080 Speaker 2: one to draft the superstar in question here in Luka Doncic. No, 2254 02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:53,640 Speaker 2: that would be Nico's predecessor, Donnie Nelson, who landed him 2255 02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:57,040 Speaker 2: on draft Day in a trade for Trey Young and 2256 02:01:57,120 --> 02:02:00,360 Speaker 2: an extra first. So if Luca is the main reason 2257 02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:04,560 Speaker 2: you win a championship, Donnie Nelson, who's considered one of 2258 02:02:04,560 --> 02:02:09,600 Speaker 2: the greatest international scouts in eyes for overseas talent, he 2259 02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:13,000 Speaker 2: would be the one that is credited with the greater 2260 02:02:13,120 --> 02:02:17,360 Speaker 2: responsibility of that Larry O'Brien trophy than Nico Harrison ever 2261 02:02:17,400 --> 02:02:23,920 Speaker 2: would be. I believe Nico understood this. Nico Harrison as 2262 02:02:23,960 --> 02:02:27,840 Speaker 2: an ego and pride comes before the fall, and after 2263 02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:30,200 Speaker 2: they fell in the twenty twenty four finals a mere 2264 02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:34,320 Speaker 2: five hundred and sixteen days ago, he started to convince 2265 02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:37,040 Speaker 2: himself that there was a way to get all the 2266 02:02:37,120 --> 02:02:41,000 Speaker 2: credit and look like the genius that he believes himself 2267 02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:47,960 Speaker 2: to be by trading Luka Doncic. This is my theory 2268 02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:52,120 Speaker 2: on how you end up destroying a franchise from the inside, 2269 02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:56,680 Speaker 2: and this will be Nico Harrison's legacy. He was, after all, 2270 02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,600 Speaker 2: a larger slice of that credit pie that gets divvied 2271 02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:02,680 Speaker 2: out after a team wins. And he thought so much 2272 02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:05,760 Speaker 2: of his basketball prowess and knowledge of the game that 2273 02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:08,440 Speaker 2: he could see what no one else could, that Luka 2274 02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:12,280 Speaker 2: Doncich actually had a ceiling that was below winning a championship, 2275 02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:15,360 Speaker 2: that he had fatal flaws that would keep you from 2276 02:03:15,440 --> 02:03:19,080 Speaker 2: winning at the highest level, that taking the Boston Celtics 2277 02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:21,600 Speaker 2: to five games in the twenty twenty four finals was 2278 02:03:21,640 --> 02:03:25,839 Speaker 2: as far as he'd get them, because, after all, Luca 2279 02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:30,080 Speaker 2: isn't known as a defender and defense wins championships. Never 2280 02:03:30,160 --> 02:03:33,960 Speaker 2: Mind that those Dallas Mavericks in twenty twenty four, after 2281 02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:38,280 Speaker 2: Nico Harrison actually made a smart move by trading for PJ. 2282 02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:41,720 Speaker 2: Washington and Daniel Gafford, well, they had the best defense 2283 02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:44,080 Speaker 2: in the league the last fifteen games of the regular 2284 02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:48,640 Speaker 2: season heading into the playoffs, and that helped carry them 2285 02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:52,480 Speaker 2: to their runs of the finals, all while having Luka 2286 02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Doncic and Kyrie Irving still in the starting lineup, two 2287 02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:59,440 Speaker 2: players not known for defense. Never Mind that the Boston 2288 02:03:59,440 --> 02:04:02,720 Speaker 2: Celtics o only averaged one hundred and one point six 2289 02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:05,040 Speaker 2: points per game in the finals against them, they only 2290 02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:07,400 Speaker 2: shot forty three percent from the field, just thirty three 2291 02:04:07,480 --> 02:04:11,920 Speaker 2: percent from three. Building a good enough defense with Luka 2292 02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:16,440 Speaker 2: doncij on the team was the problem, Nico. No, all 2293 02:04:16,480 --> 02:04:18,160 Speaker 2: the numbers will tell you that was a lie. 2294 02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,400 Speaker 3: That's a bunch of crap. No. 2295 02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:25,960 Speaker 2: Actually, their offense failed them with not leaning into more 2296 02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:28,920 Speaker 2: of the analytics where the Celtics were taking fifty threes 2297 02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:33,640 Speaker 2: per game in that series, and meanwhile, yes, Luka doncich 2298 02:04:33,720 --> 02:04:36,600 Speaker 2: averaged twenty nine per game, But Kyrie had a bad 2299 02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:39,360 Speaker 2: series and a handful of role players weren't good enough. 2300 02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:42,720 Speaker 2: That was more of the reason they win the championship 2301 02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:47,000 Speaker 2: over a great Celtics team. That series was in no 2302 02:04:47,120 --> 02:04:50,320 Speaker 2: way an indictment on Luka Doncic or Canary in the 2303 02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:52,960 Speaker 2: coal mine sign that he can't win it and is 2304 02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:57,880 Speaker 2: somehow peaked at the age of twenty four. But this 2305 02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:00,800 Speaker 2: is what Niko Harrison used to build his case for 2306 02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:05,760 Speaker 2: trading him Publicly, he told you defense wins championships, as 2307 02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:08,640 Speaker 2: if the Mavericks didn't have one of the best and 2308 02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:12,000 Speaker 2: actually lose in the finals because their offense failed them 2309 02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:15,080 Speaker 2: at times more than anything else. Players outside of Luka 2310 02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:19,640 Speaker 2: Doncic underperformed on the biggest stage, but Nico didn't care 2311 02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,000 Speaker 2: about that reality of what actually happened. He was too 2312 02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:26,600 Speaker 2: busy constructing his own. He focused on Luka carrying more 2313 02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:30,560 Speaker 2: weight and piling up lower body injuries even while carrying 2314 02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:33,520 Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks to being just three games away from 2315 02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:38,440 Speaker 2: winning a championship. Nico worked with Kobe and other players 2316 02:05:38,440 --> 02:05:42,240 Speaker 2: who subscribed to the Mama mentality at Nike, and he 2317 02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:46,839 Speaker 2: forged some close relationships there. Nico deluded himself into thinking 2318 02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:49,920 Speaker 2: there was only one way to train, one way to 2319 02:05:49,960 --> 02:05:52,680 Speaker 2: conduct yourself as a professional, and one way to win. 2320 02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:56,920 Speaker 2: Never mind the fact Niko Jokich has just won a 2321 02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:01,120 Speaker 2: championship in twenty twenty three and also lived day let's say, 2322 02:06:01,120 --> 02:06:06,120 Speaker 2: a less strict European lifestyle like Luca. But it wasn't 2323 02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:10,280 Speaker 2: just Luca's weight and work ethic differences. Remember, Nico wants 2324 02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:14,240 Speaker 2: full credit on this group project. He wanted his stamp 2325 02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:18,280 Speaker 2: all over any team that won. His hubris and likely 2326 02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:21,920 Speaker 2: resentment for Luca being as great as he was without 2327 02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:25,920 Speaker 2: having to work as hard as others probably consume Nico. 2328 02:06:26,160 --> 02:06:30,920 Speaker 2: Nico Harrison thought it was his trades for Daniel Gafford 2329 02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:33,240 Speaker 2: and PJ. Washington that got them to the finals more 2330 02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,160 Speaker 2: than Luka Doncish, and he was tired of not being 2331 02:06:36,240 --> 02:06:39,600 Speaker 2: seen as the main character but just the name without 2332 02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:43,040 Speaker 2: a face and empty suit. Did you even know what 2333 02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:46,400 Speaker 2: Nico Harrison looked like before the Luca don just trade. 2334 02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:48,800 Speaker 2: I don't recall him ever being front and center or 2335 02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:51,520 Speaker 2: getting a lot of face time on their journey through 2336 02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:55,320 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four playoffs. This could have made Nico 2337 02:06:55,400 --> 02:06:59,040 Speaker 2: jealous of the attention Luca got when he was the 2338 02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:01,280 Speaker 2: one who made the move to patch up the holes 2339 02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:04,520 Speaker 2: on the defensive end by making them a much more 2340 02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:08,880 Speaker 2: complete team and a true contender, least in his mind. 2341 02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:14,800 Speaker 2: But after his moves were there, he wasn't getting more attention. 2342 02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:21,640 Speaker 2: Nico might have grown bitter. The disease of me set in, 2343 02:07:22,960 --> 02:07:25,120 Speaker 2: and by the time Luca came into camp at had 2344 02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:30,160 Speaker 2: reported two hundred and seventy pounds, leading to more cankel injuries. 2345 02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:35,440 Speaker 2: In September of twenty twenty four, Nico knew something had 2346 02:07:35,480 --> 02:07:37,960 Speaker 2: to be done, so he called up his old buddy 2347 02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:43,000 Speaker 2: Rob Polenka and completed the most shocking and disastrous trade 2348 02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:46,960 Speaker 2: in the history of sports. You dumbass. What happened with 2349 02:07:47,040 --> 02:07:50,120 Speaker 2: herschel Walker wasn't close to this. We didn't know the 2350 02:07:50,160 --> 02:07:53,680 Speaker 2: Cowboys won the trade till years later. You knew Luca 2351 02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:57,160 Speaker 2: being traded to the Lakers was a mistake within the 2352 02:07:57,200 --> 02:08:00,960 Speaker 2: first second. You saw the return as long as you 2353 02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:04,560 Speaker 2: weren't you know, dumb ass, Kendrick Perkins, You dumb ass 2354 02:08:04,640 --> 02:08:08,160 Speaker 2: who actually tweeted out that Dallas won the trade, either 2355 02:08:08,240 --> 02:08:11,320 Speaker 2: for engagement or because, like Nico, desperately wanted to look 2356 02:08:11,360 --> 02:08:13,880 Speaker 2: like the smartest person in the room. You knew trading 2357 02:08:13,960 --> 02:08:18,280 Speaker 2: Luca for one first Max Christi and an injury plague 2358 02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:21,920 Speaker 2: star at a less premium position in Anthony Davis, who 2359 02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:25,480 Speaker 2: was six years older was a bad idea, Nico Harrison. 2360 02:08:25,800 --> 02:08:29,440 Speaker 2: He's the meme of that one person pointing at a 2361 02:08:29,480 --> 02:08:33,000 Speaker 2: crowd of people yelling at him, and he's the one 2362 02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:36,040 Speaker 2: person going, yes, you are all wrong? 2363 02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:37,040 Speaker 3: Am I wrong? 2364 02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:42,000 Speaker 2: I know what everyone else doesn't. The level of arrogance 2365 02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:44,960 Speaker 2: it takes to make a move like this and believe 2366 02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:47,400 Speaker 2: you know something no one else in the world understands 2367 02:08:47,680 --> 02:08:50,680 Speaker 2: is laughable. Even if you didn't want to commit to 2368 02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:53,440 Speaker 2: paying Luca three hundred and fifty million with the Supermax, 2369 02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:58,040 Speaker 2: you still get more than what that return was. That 2370 02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:01,120 Speaker 2: Nico was able to get Dallas. But here's the thing. 2371 02:09:01,200 --> 02:09:05,680 Speaker 2: Nico loved Defense and Anthony Davis. He loved him, He 2372 02:09:05,720 --> 02:09:08,640 Speaker 2: worked with him at Nike, and that was enough, apparently, 2373 02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:11,520 Speaker 2: when he probably could have gotten Austin Reeves or at 2374 02:09:11,560 --> 02:09:13,839 Speaker 2: least another first out of the Lakers if he actually 2375 02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:16,640 Speaker 2: played this correctly, if he had put Luca on the 2376 02:09:16,680 --> 02:09:19,360 Speaker 2: open market, I mean, he could have driven up the 2377 02:09:19,400 --> 02:09:23,760 Speaker 2: price by pitting teams against one another. The trade was 2378 02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:26,320 Speaker 2: so ludicrous it had people saying the NBA wants the 2379 02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:29,120 Speaker 2: Mavericks fans to revolt so they can justify moving them 2380 02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:32,680 Speaker 2: to Vegas. But after they got the number one pick 2381 02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:37,000 Speaker 2: in the draft, I guess that theory didn't work. Then 2382 02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:41,720 Speaker 2: the conspiracy theorist shifted to, well, they told Nico, if 2383 02:09:41,720 --> 02:09:43,960 Speaker 2: he gave the Lakers a young franchise player to build 2384 02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:46,880 Speaker 2: around in the LA market, which is good for the NBA, 2385 02:09:47,160 --> 02:09:50,720 Speaker 2: they'd rig the draft for him. Yeah, go look at 2386 02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:53,280 Speaker 2: how the NBA draft is done. Let me know how 2387 02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:57,360 Speaker 2: you rig that. None of this stuff is true, Keep 2388 02:09:57,400 --> 02:10:02,760 Speaker 2: it simple, stupid. It's as simple as the simple tin 2389 02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:06,480 Speaker 2: that Nico Harrison is, who probably suffers from the Dunning 2390 02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:10,120 Speaker 2: Krueger effect. He wanted more credit, That's what this is about. 2391 02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:13,720 Speaker 2: He didn't like Luca's work ethic, and he really liked 2392 02:10:13,720 --> 02:10:17,720 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. That's it. It's one guy who had the 2393 02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:20,800 Speaker 2: ownership's ear because the strong moves he did make in 2394 02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:23,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four to help get them on that run 2395 02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:25,840 Speaker 2: to the finals. Well, they signed off on this too 2396 02:10:25,880 --> 02:10:29,520 Speaker 2: because they trusted Nico, not because they're gonna move the team. 2397 02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:32,880 Speaker 2: Nico said, time will tell if he was right. Well, 2398 02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:36,760 Speaker 2: times up took nine months. Shouldn't have even taken that 2399 02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:42,600 Speaker 2: long nine months in early losing streak, the outrage by 2400 02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:47,240 Speaker 2: fans becoming so deafening that ownership could no longer ignore 2401 02:10:47,360 --> 02:10:53,080 Speaker 2: the irate Dallas Maverick fans any longer. Nico died on 2402 02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:55,920 Speaker 2: that hill that he created like he's a damn fool. 2403 02:10:56,880 --> 02:11:00,440 Speaker 2: And forget Steve Bartman having to go into hiding. Nico 2404 02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:03,520 Speaker 2: Harrison is the one that might need witness protection the 2405 02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:05,840 Speaker 2: rest of his life because he affected so many lives 2406 02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:11,560 Speaker 2: of proud Dallas Mavericks fans that he embarrassed with this decision. 2407 02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:15,520 Speaker 2: His galaxy brain should put him in a galaxy far 2408 02:11:15,560 --> 02:11:21,680 Speaker 2: far away. Is there a Marcellus Wallace of Dallas? Is 2409 02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:25,720 Speaker 2: it Jr? From the show Dallas? Can he tell Nico 2410 02:11:26,560 --> 02:11:28,440 Speaker 2: you lost all your Dallas privileges? 2411 02:11:31,280 --> 02:11:31,360 Speaker 3: Like? 2412 02:11:33,120 --> 02:11:34,880 Speaker 2: Is he gonna have to fake his own death? Like 2413 02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:37,200 Speaker 2: Christian Bale at the end of Dark Knight Rises when 2414 02:11:37,240 --> 02:11:43,880 Speaker 2: you see him at a cafe in Europe give a 2415 02:11:43,960 --> 02:11:46,360 Speaker 2: knowing nod to Michael Caine at the very end of 2416 02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:48,440 Speaker 2: the movie. And Michael Kin in this case would be 2417 02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:54,080 Speaker 2: Rob Polinka, Nico, Christian Bale. Is that what we're headache towards? 2418 02:11:55,880 --> 02:11:58,640 Speaker 2: Because Rob and Lakers fans, they're the only ones who 2419 02:11:58,680 --> 02:12:02,160 Speaker 2: are grateful for the choice that he made to torpedo 2420 02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:06,280 Speaker 2: his own franchise and change the landscape of the NBA. 2421 02:12:07,240 --> 02:12:11,200 Speaker 2: Luca could have tore his knee and never played in 2422 02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:14,880 Speaker 2: the NBA again immediately after the trade, and I still 2423 02:12:14,880 --> 02:12:17,320 Speaker 2: would say it was a stupid move because you could 2424 02:12:17,360 --> 02:12:20,920 Speaker 2: have gotten more at the time you execute the trade. 2425 02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:24,839 Speaker 2: Dallas might end up getting more back for Anthony Davis 2426 02:12:24,880 --> 02:12:28,320 Speaker 2: than Nico did for Luka Dancic. And what if they 2427 02:12:28,320 --> 02:12:32,200 Speaker 2: don't get Cooper Flag in the draft, how much worse 2428 02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:33,240 Speaker 2: would this be looked at? 2429 02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:33,560 Speaker 3: Then? 2430 02:12:34,720 --> 02:12:39,360 Speaker 2: That was pure luck. But Nico said it was his vision. 2431 02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:44,880 Speaker 2: You just gotta wait. It's all coming together. He's got vision. 2432 02:12:44,920 --> 02:12:51,520 Speaker 2: You don't, I promise you Right now, Nico is muttering 2433 02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:54,920 Speaker 2: under his breath every day that if it just wasn't 2434 02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:59,520 Speaker 2: for the injuries, they would have seen my genius. Who 2435 02:12:59,560 --> 02:13:06,040 Speaker 2: was the injury? Uh hey, Nico, Anthony Davis getting injured 2436 02:13:06,360 --> 02:13:10,600 Speaker 2: was completely predictable. That's part of why you don't do 2437 02:13:10,840 --> 02:13:17,240 Speaker 2: the trade. Get you know why they had to fire you, 2438 02:13:17,240 --> 02:13:21,240 Speaker 2: you know, because they were afraid of what you do next. 2439 02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:25,840 Speaker 2: You started the fire. You don't get to try and 2440 02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:30,880 Speaker 2: save the day now and put it out. If Nico 2441 02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:35,800 Speaker 2: wasn't all surprised or just wanted more time, well the 2442 02:13:35,880 --> 02:13:40,880 Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks couldn't give it to him. Denzel Washington and 2443 02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:45,040 Speaker 2: man on fire, I wish you had more time. You don't. 2444 02:13:45,760 --> 02:13:48,720 Speaker 2: You couldn't because you were the one that traded Luka Dancic. 2445 02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:50,960 Speaker 2: You're not the one to get us out of this mess. 2446 02:13:51,160 --> 02:13:54,680 Speaker 2: You might give up Anthony Davis for nothing. Next, you 2447 02:13:54,760 --> 02:13:59,240 Speaker 2: might trade Cooper Flag. We can't trust you. That's on 2448 02:13:59,280 --> 02:14:02,080 Speaker 2: the table. If you are willing to trade Luka Doncic, 2449 02:14:02,520 --> 02:14:06,160 Speaker 2: who Cooper flag will never be as good as love him, 2450 02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:09,640 Speaker 2: but he will never be that good. You're willing to 2451 02:14:09,640 --> 02:14:16,200 Speaker 2: trade anyone. That's the problem. That's the position he put 2452 02:14:16,280 --> 02:14:22,600 Speaker 2: himself in. He wanted all the credit. The trade obviously 2453 02:14:24,440 --> 02:14:27,440 Speaker 2: was a disaster from the get go. They let it 2454 02:14:27,480 --> 02:14:32,960 Speaker 2: play out, and then when they finally realized there's no 2455 02:14:33,120 --> 02:14:36,880 Speaker 2: coming back from this with Nico Harrison, they let him 2456 02:14:36,920 --> 02:14:42,360 Speaker 2: go because the uproar was too much. Because fans in 2457 02:14:42,440 --> 02:14:47,560 Speaker 2: Dallas still have power, Thank goodness, eventually they were hurt. 2458 02:14:48,360 --> 02:14:52,760 Speaker 2: They hit him in the pocketbook. Tickets were down to 2459 02:14:52,840 --> 02:14:57,120 Speaker 2: like eleven dollars a game at American Airlines Center. The 2460 02:14:57,160 --> 02:14:59,640 Speaker 2: Clippers just played there on Friday. I know this. I 2461 02:14:59,680 --> 02:15:05,400 Speaker 2: haven't tell there. The fans were revolting for good reason. 2462 02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:12,440 Speaker 2: It should have been done probably this summer. I can 2463 02:15:12,480 --> 02:15:15,160 Speaker 2: somewhat understand if you're not gonna fire him right after 2464 02:15:15,240 --> 02:15:17,360 Speaker 2: trading Luka Doncic, you might as well play let it 2465 02:15:17,360 --> 02:15:21,400 Speaker 2: play out a little bit. But what are they three 2466 02:15:21,440 --> 02:15:26,040 Speaker 2: to ten? Luka Doncic has more forty point games this 2467 02:15:26,120 --> 02:15:31,840 Speaker 2: season than the Dallas Mavericks have victories. Let that marinate 2468 02:15:31,920 --> 02:15:37,200 Speaker 2: for a second. Luka, Doncic lost weight. Everything Nico said 2469 02:15:38,440 --> 02:15:44,280 Speaker 2: ended up being wrong. You don't judge someone at the 2470 02:15:44,280 --> 02:15:48,040 Speaker 2: time of the trade. He was twenty five that young 2471 02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:50,560 Speaker 2: and say, well, he's never gonna grow up, He's never 2472 02:15:50,560 --> 02:15:53,160 Speaker 2: gonna change. If you want to argue the reason he 2473 02:15:53,280 --> 02:15:55,520 Speaker 2: changed is because he got a kick in the ass 2474 02:15:55,520 --> 02:16:02,040 Speaker 2: from Nico. Fine, But if you want to say they 2475 02:16:02,120 --> 02:16:06,280 Speaker 2: had to trade him, okay, if you were convinced he 2476 02:16:06,480 --> 02:16:11,000 Speaker 2: was never gonna get in shape in Dallas, fine, but 2477 02:16:11,080 --> 02:16:13,680 Speaker 2: if you do trade him, you have to get much 2478 02:16:13,680 --> 02:16:19,200 Speaker 2: more than that, not exactly a hole. That's the biggest issue. 2479 02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:21,760 Speaker 2: You put him on the open market. You might have 2480 02:16:21,760 --> 02:16:26,680 Speaker 2: been able to get Anthony Edwards. Honestly, Lucas gonna end 2481 02:16:26,760 --> 02:16:30,080 Speaker 2: up being top three in the MVP this season probably, 2482 02:16:31,360 --> 02:16:35,720 Speaker 2: And you traded that guy who's still twenty six now, 2483 02:16:38,040 --> 02:16:43,120 Speaker 2: who has the Lakers and I think ten to three 2484 02:16:43,280 --> 02:16:47,080 Speaker 2: without Lebron so far. How do you not see in 2485 02:16:47,120 --> 02:16:49,640 Speaker 2: today's day and age in the NBA that you need 2486 02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:56,720 Speaker 2: an offensive engine like that. And with the weight he lost, 2487 02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:02,560 Speaker 2: he may start peaking. He may be entering his prime, 2488 02:17:02,720 --> 02:17:06,160 Speaker 2: right now, and we haven't even seen the best of 2489 02:17:06,200 --> 02:17:13,320 Speaker 2: Luka Doncic. Dallas fumbled it completely and I shouldn't say Dallas, 2490 02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:18,000 Speaker 2: that's disrespectful, Nico said. Okay, he didn't say it, but 2491 02:17:18,200 --> 02:17:21,080 Speaker 2: I believe Nico wanted the credit. You got it. You 2492 02:17:21,120 --> 02:17:25,200 Speaker 2: get credit for trading Luka Doncic. You said time will 2493 02:17:25,240 --> 02:17:30,840 Speaker 2: tell if I'm right. You got nine months, that's it. 2494 02:17:33,720 --> 02:17:37,920 Speaker 2: But we all knew immediately. Trying too hard to look 2495 02:17:37,959 --> 02:17:43,560 Speaker 2: like the smartest guy in the room. Kiss keep it simple. Stupid. 2496 02:17:44,840 --> 02:17:48,760 Speaker 2: Coming up next on the other end of the spectrum, 2497 02:17:49,480 --> 02:17:52,840 Speaker 2: I actually kind of feel bad for Brian Dabele, who 2498 02:17:52,879 --> 02:17:56,200 Speaker 2: was fired by the New York Giants this week. Why 2499 02:17:56,800 --> 02:17:59,880 Speaker 2: I'll explain, I'm out of Mousland and he listened to 2500 02:18:00,040 --> 02:18:00,959 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. 2501 02:18:01,720 --> 02:18:03,080 Speaker 3: What are we investigating tonight? 2502 02:18:03,920 --> 02:18:07,959 Speaker 2: Adam Ashlyn, Welcome back in It's Fox Football Sunday.

Before that, we do have Breeze 2512 02:18:36,320 --> 02:18:40,440 Speaker 2: three coming up in the final segment. But you know, 2513 02:18:40,720 --> 02:18:44,240 Speaker 2: I did my hit piece on Niko Harrison made some 2514 02:18:44,480 --> 02:18:47,920 Speaker 2: unfounded accusations. I just had a theory that maybe he 2515 02:18:47,959 --> 02:18:51,920 Speaker 2: won more credit, okay, and that's why he was jealous 2516 02:18:52,080 --> 02:18:55,960 Speaker 2: of Luca. He put the defense together, that's how they 2517 02:18:55,959 --> 02:18:59,280 Speaker 2: got to the NBA Finals. It wasn't Luka Doncic, so 2518 02:18:59,400 --> 02:19:03,000 Speaker 2: therefore he thought he could get by without him. Now, 2519 02:19:03,360 --> 02:19:05,879 Speaker 2: on the other end of the spectrum, there's a coach 2520 02:19:05,920 --> 02:19:09,440 Speaker 2: I feel bad for that got let go this week. 2521 02:19:10,120 --> 02:19:13,959 Speaker 2: Two guys getting fired. One you could see it coming, Okay, 2522 02:19:13,959 --> 02:19:18,640 Speaker 2: both you could see it coming. But Brian Dable got 2523 02:19:19,360 --> 02:19:23,600 Speaker 2: the boot out of New York earlier this week. But 2524 02:19:23,640 --> 02:19:25,879 Speaker 2: I wanted to clear something up about why it happened 2525 02:19:26,280 --> 02:19:31,279 Speaker 2: and why I actually think Dabell was in an impossible spot, 2526 02:19:31,640 --> 02:19:34,440 Speaker 2: not just because it's impossible to win in New York 2527 02:19:34,520 --> 02:19:38,600 Speaker 2: with either football team. Right now, I only have about 2528 02:19:38,640 --> 02:19:44,000 Speaker 2: a New York minute to explain this here, but we 2529 02:19:44,200 --> 02:19:49,800 Speaker 2: get I guess sympathy for Brian Dable at least I do. 2530 02:19:50,560 --> 02:19:52,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna show a little bit of sympathy for him. 2531 02:19:53,680 --> 02:19:56,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna key in on the main reason given by 2532 02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:59,520 Speaker 2: the New York media for why he was fired. It's 2533 02:19:59,560 --> 02:20:02,840 Speaker 2: not so so much about them being two to eight. 2534 02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:06,240 Speaker 2: That is a factory, yes, it always is. So is 2535 02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:10,879 Speaker 2: the way they've given games away, blowing four double digit 2536 02:20:10,879 --> 02:20:15,039 Speaker 2: fourth quarter leads this season, including a historic collapse in 2537 02:20:15,080 --> 02:20:19,520 Speaker 2: Denver where the Giants held a win probability of ninety 2538 02:20:19,640 --> 02:20:25,400 Speaker 2: nine point eight percent. And you can say Brian Dabele 2539 02:20:25,480 --> 02:20:28,640 Speaker 2: had a ninety nine point eight percent win probability of 2540 02:20:28,680 --> 02:20:33,520 Speaker 2: being fired this season since after his first season where 2541 02:20:33,520 --> 02:20:35,800 Speaker 2: they went nine to seven and one and actually won 2542 02:20:35,879 --> 02:20:42,360 Speaker 2: a playoff game with Daniel Jones. Since then, the New 2543 02:20:42,440 --> 02:20:46,240 Speaker 2: York Giants are eleven and thirty three with Brian Dable 2544 02:20:47,240 --> 02:20:50,000 Speaker 2: at In the fact, as I mentioned, Daniel Jones is 2545 02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:54,400 Speaker 2: now winning the divorce and looking like an MVP away 2546 02:20:54,480 --> 02:20:58,080 Speaker 2: from his coaching along with the decision a weird one 2547 02:20:58,120 --> 02:21:02,039 Speaker 2: to start Russell Wilson initially this season. And yes, you 2548 02:21:02,160 --> 02:21:05,880 Speaker 2: had the jay Z blueprint for him being exiled from 2549 02:21:06,120 --> 02:21:09,880 Speaker 2: Big Blue it was all there makes sense. But the 2550 02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:14,200 Speaker 2: number one reason I'm hearing he was fired actually is 2551 02:21:14,240 --> 02:21:19,000 Speaker 2: the one thing I don't blame Brian Dabele for, and 2552 02:21:19,040 --> 02:21:24,000 Speaker 2: that's actually trying to win. It wasn't your fault, they said, 2553 02:21:24,240 --> 02:21:27,280 Speaker 2: the cardinal sin or the giant sin he made. The 2554 02:21:27,360 --> 02:21:31,800 Speaker 2: got Brian Dabele terminated was the fact he put Jackson 2555 02:21:31,879 --> 02:21:35,600 Speaker 2: Dart at risk for injury with design run plays, and 2556 02:21:35,640 --> 02:21:39,000 Speaker 2: you can't put the franchise quarterback in harm's way. That 2557 02:21:39,160 --> 02:21:42,240 Speaker 2: was the number one reason, at least from what I'm 2558 02:21:42,240 --> 02:21:45,960 Speaker 2: hearing from the media in New York, for why Brian 2559 02:21:46,040 --> 02:21:49,720 Speaker 2: Dable got fired above everything else. But my argument would 2560 02:21:49,720 --> 02:21:54,440 Speaker 2: be this, that means Brian Dabele is gonna lose lose 2561 02:21:54,480 --> 02:21:58,800 Speaker 2: situation because the only way the Giants had a chance 2562 02:21:58,840 --> 02:22:03,600 Speaker 2: of winning games is if Jackson Dart ran the football. 2563 02:22:03,720 --> 02:22:06,720 Speaker 2: So if dabel doesn't win games, he knew he'd be fired. 2564 02:22:06,959 --> 02:22:10,240 Speaker 2: But also their only path to winning games was to 2565 02:22:10,320 --> 02:22:14,040 Speaker 2: run Jackson Dart, which would inevitably lead to him being hurt, 2566 02:22:14,120 --> 02:22:18,600 Speaker 2: which also gets Dable fired. What exactly was Brian Dabeles 2567 02:22:18,600 --> 02:22:21,400 Speaker 2: supposed to do? He was between a rock and a 2568 02:22:21,440 --> 02:22:24,400 Speaker 2: hard place or run the rock in a hard place. 2569 02:22:24,480 --> 02:22:28,640 Speaker 2: If he loses more games, which they most certainly would have, 2570 02:22:28,959 --> 02:22:32,720 Speaker 2: if he only has Jackson Dart throw it, he's fired. 2571 02:22:33,600 --> 02:22:36,400 Speaker 2: If Jackson Dart goes all out getting hurt running the 2572 02:22:36,400 --> 02:22:40,920 Speaker 2: ball trying to desperately win games, he's fired, which is 2573 02:22:41,200 --> 02:22:45,120 Speaker 2: what happened. And look, Jackson Dart, his passing numbers are 2574 02:22:45,160 --> 02:22:48,880 Speaker 2: not terrible, but it was the threat of the run, 2575 02:22:49,040 --> 02:22:53,120 Speaker 2: keeping the defense off balance, especially without his number one receiver, 2576 02:22:53,480 --> 02:22:58,440 Speaker 2: Malik Neighbors, and especially without Cam Skataboo getting hurt too 2577 02:22:58,840 --> 02:23:02,000 Speaker 2: to run the rock. So what exactly was Brian Dables 2578 02:23:02,080 --> 02:23:04,720 Speaker 2: supposed to do If the mandate is to win games 2579 02:23:05,440 --> 02:23:07,600 Speaker 2: and the only way you could keep your job is 2580 02:23:07,640 --> 02:23:11,720 Speaker 2: doing that, but also you have to run Jackson Dart. 2581 02:23:12,360 --> 02:23:15,160 Speaker 2: That's how they were mostly successful out there, which could 2582 02:23:15,200 --> 02:23:17,680 Speaker 2: lead to an injury, which also gets the fire. Like 2583 02:23:17,760 --> 02:23:22,280 Speaker 2: I see people saying it was coaching malpractice to have 2584 02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:25,000 Speaker 2: these designed runs in there. 2585 02:23:25,160 --> 02:23:27,760 Speaker 6: The kids are playing their tail out and the coaches. 2586 02:23:27,400 --> 02:23:30,039 Speaker 2: Are screwing it up. You know, those design runs that 2587 02:23:30,200 --> 02:23:33,080 Speaker 2: were successful but also led to him being in the 2588 02:23:33,080 --> 02:23:36,640 Speaker 2: blue tent constantly. Guy knew more about tenths than a 2589 02:23:36,680 --> 02:23:41,400 Speaker 2: salesman and ARII like, is it really coaching mal practice? Though? 2590 02:23:41,440 --> 02:23:44,920 Speaker 2: To try and save your job, that was self preservation, 2591 02:23:45,320 --> 02:23:48,640 Speaker 2: That's what I saw. You blame Dabel for being reckless 2592 02:23:48,640 --> 02:23:51,160 Speaker 2: with a franchise quarterback for a franchise he's not going 2593 02:23:51,240 --> 02:23:53,040 Speaker 2: to be a part of unless they win games by 2594 02:23:53,120 --> 02:23:56,760 Speaker 2: running Jackson Dart. Have you seen some of his throws? 2595 02:23:57,440 --> 02:24:02,400 Speaker 2: They were lawn darts. You could say Brian Dable's trying 2596 02:24:02,400 --> 02:24:05,039 Speaker 2: to save his own skin by taking some off of 2597 02:24:05,120 --> 02:24:08,120 Speaker 2: Jackson Dart, who was more than willing to try and 2598 02:24:08,160 --> 02:24:11,760 Speaker 2: be the real White VIC Giants fans thought they had 2599 02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:17,320 Speaker 2: with Daniel Jones. Football is a violent game that, as 2600 02:24:17,480 --> 02:24:20,880 Speaker 2: our friend Petricks Papadakus would say, quote in a football 2601 02:24:20,920 --> 02:24:26,039 Speaker 2: world or in a perfect world. Football doesn't exist in 2602 02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:29,000 Speaker 2: a perfect world. It doesn't. So if you blame a 2603 02:24:29,040 --> 02:24:31,520 Speaker 2: guy for trying to win and save his job while 2604 02:24:31,560 --> 02:24:34,240 Speaker 2: increasing the risk of injury with his young quarterback, fine, 2605 02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:37,720 Speaker 2: But understand Brian Dable was in a no win situation 2606 02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:41,240 Speaker 2: and wanting to go out his way by giving his 2607 02:24:41,240 --> 02:24:44,280 Speaker 2: team the best chance to win at the expense of 2608 02:24:44,280 --> 02:24:48,000 Speaker 2: his QB. Maybe, but there's no guarantee Jackson Dart is 2609 02:24:48,040 --> 02:24:53,680 Speaker 2: ever going to be a star anyways, like this may 2610 02:24:53,760 --> 02:24:58,560 Speaker 2: be we remember RG three like you can have good 2611 02:24:59,080 --> 02:25:02,840 Speaker 2: rookie seasons, you can show flashes, and it all can 2612 02:25:02,840 --> 02:25:05,440 Speaker 2: amount to as still having a pretty low ceiling out there. 2613 02:25:06,200 --> 02:25:09,280 Speaker 2: Maybe the only way Jackson Dart is ever going to 2614 02:25:09,320 --> 02:25:11,039 Speaker 2: be much of a threat is if he is a 2615 02:25:11,160 --> 02:25:14,600 Speaker 2: dual threat and he has to run the rock song, 2616 02:25:15,920 --> 02:25:18,480 Speaker 2: which eventually will get him back in the Blue ten. 2617 02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:23,080 Speaker 2: But the Giants, they look at it like we're living 2618 02:25:23,120 --> 02:25:26,600 Speaker 2: for the future right now, Brian Dabeles, living in the present, 2619 02:25:26,680 --> 02:25:30,840 Speaker 2: taking it day by day, play by play. Ultimately their 2620 02:25:30,879 --> 02:25:35,240 Speaker 2: plans no longer aligned, and that's how you see a 2621 02:25:35,280 --> 02:25:38,600 Speaker 2: separation like this. Plus you know this suck and or 2622 02:25:38,640 --> 02:25:40,520 Speaker 2: two and eight and will somebody had to take the fall? 2623 02:25:40,520 --> 02:25:45,720 Speaker 2: Why not Dable, Like I just have a little bit 2624 02:25:45,720 --> 02:25:47,800 Speaker 2: of sympathy for a guy that was put in a 2625 02:25:47,840 --> 02:25:53,000 Speaker 2: really tough position. I think is that fair? I know 2626 02:25:53,080 --> 02:25:56,160 Speaker 2: Giants fans aren't going to give a damn. You're two 2627 02:25:56,240 --> 02:25:59,000 Speaker 2: and eight. As I mentioned, there are eleven and thirty 2628 02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:02,600 Speaker 2: three after his first season where there was some excitement 2629 02:26:03,120 --> 02:26:07,039 Speaker 2: and some potential there. Maybe apply that to Jackson Dart 2630 02:26:07,520 --> 02:26:10,120 Speaker 2: just because you have a good first year doesn't mean 2631 02:26:10,160 --> 02:26:13,879 Speaker 2: everything's gonna be fine. The NFL, as we say, is 2632 02:26:13,920 --> 02:26:19,960 Speaker 2: a week two week league. They do need to explore 2633 02:26:20,480 --> 02:26:23,080 Speaker 2: how good Jackson Dart can be. They do need to 2634 02:26:23,160 --> 02:26:27,320 Speaker 2: keep him healthy. Of course. I'm just saying, if you're 2635 02:26:27,320 --> 02:26:31,440 Speaker 2: Brian Dable, you gotta win games. That's what you care about. 2636 02:26:31,879 --> 02:26:34,039 Speaker 2: And if that means letting a guy who wants to 2637 02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:38,760 Speaker 2: run run because it helps you win, I think that's 2638 02:26:38,800 --> 02:26:42,200 Speaker 2: the game plan. I think that's your mo I think 2639 02:26:42,200 --> 02:26:44,240 Speaker 2: that's what you have to do. I don't know he 2640 02:26:44,280 --> 02:26:47,320 Speaker 2: was putting a tough spot like that. I would not 2641 02:26:47,560 --> 02:26:50,920 Speaker 2: envy that place to be in. Now you can blame 2642 02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:53,240 Speaker 2: him for a lot of other stuff. They lost games 2643 02:26:53,320 --> 02:26:56,160 Speaker 2: late the Denver game, Jackson Dart through a horrible interception, 2644 02:26:56,240 --> 02:26:59,400 Speaker 2: by the way, or else they don't lose it. Starting 2645 02:26:59,480 --> 02:27:02,080 Speaker 2: Russell will Wilson though at the beginning of the season 2646 02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:09,400 Speaker 2: obviously a really bad move when it looked like Jackson 2647 02:27:09,480 --> 02:27:12,800 Speaker 2: Dart was pretty good in the preseason, he was ready. 2648 02:27:13,520 --> 02:27:15,440 Speaker 2: Does that just mean if you start him earlier, he 2649 02:27:15,520 --> 02:27:20,760 Speaker 2: gets hurt earlier, and you're already earlier in the season. 2650 02:27:21,560 --> 02:27:24,320 Speaker 2: Having Jameis Winston in there, he was going to be 2651 02:27:24,360 --> 02:27:27,320 Speaker 2: starting against the Packers in New York a little bit 2652 02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:35,240 Speaker 2: later today, maybe, But yeah, I can't excuse that. Russell Wilson. 2653 02:27:35,800 --> 02:27:37,800 Speaker 2: I guess they brought him in for a reason. They 2654 02:27:37,840 --> 02:27:40,000 Speaker 2: paid him. You had to see what he had left, 2655 02:27:40,879 --> 02:27:45,720 Speaker 2: but it was pretty obvious it wasn't much. Maybe if 2656 02:27:45,760 --> 02:27:49,200 Speaker 2: he started Jackson Dart earlier and it looked like he 2657 02:27:49,320 --> 02:27:52,959 Speaker 2: was tied to this quarterback, because sometimes that's how it goes. 2658 02:27:53,080 --> 02:27:57,000 Speaker 2: You draft a guy that's Brian Dables, guy the GM 2659 02:27:57,240 --> 02:28:02,360 Speaker 2: survived for now? Are they all tied together for the future? Well, 2660 02:28:02,520 --> 02:28:08,160 Speaker 2: Brian Able, isn't they cut him loose? We'll see what 2661 02:28:08,240 --> 02:28:11,240 Speaker 2: the next head coach does. Maybe it'll be Lane Kiffin 2662 02:28:12,240 --> 02:28:17,119 Speaker 2: back with Jackson Dart. Wouldn't that be interesting? Smoke Weed 2663 02:28:17,160 --> 02:28:20,280 Speaker 2: talk s like Lane Kiffin. I'd like to see it. 2664 02:28:20,560 --> 02:28:22,440 Speaker 2: I think it'd be fun. You got a raw deal 2665 02:28:22,480 --> 02:28:27,240 Speaker 2: with the Raiders, like everyone most of their fans. Coming 2666 02:28:27,400 --> 02:28:32,560 Speaker 2: up next here on Fox Sports Radio final segment, we 2667 02:28:32,720 --> 02:28:39,880 Speaker 2: got Breeze three and I hear it is Jameis Winston related.

All right, 2675 02:29:06,120 --> 02:29:08,600 Speaker 2: let's get to it. This is a staple here. I 2676 02:29:08,640 --> 02:29:10,440 Speaker 2: know this game not. 2677 02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:14,520 Speaker 5: One but three. 2678 02:29:15,600 --> 02:29:16,560 Speaker 3: It's entertainment. 2679 02:29:16,680 --> 02:29:23,160 Speaker 2: It's good.

There's three things we could do. 2682 02:29:29,480 --> 02:29:32,200 Speaker 2: Okay, wait a second, it's getting complicated. It's just like 2683 02:29:32,280 --> 02:29:33,560 Speaker 2: his stupid taste bud thing. 2684 02:29:33,720 --> 02:29:35,760 Speaker 6: Oh you're so rude. Okay. 2685 02:29:35,840 --> 02:29:38,320 Speaker 7: I just come up with a topic and I just say, like, 2686 02:29:38,600 --> 02:29:40,880 Speaker 7: pick three things that have to do with this one 2687 02:29:40,920 --> 02:29:41,880 Speaker 7: specific topic. 2688 02:29:42,400 --> 02:29:44,320 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the theme? What's the topic? 2689 02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:49,200 Speaker 7: So this week, Jameis Winston is officially getting his first 2690 02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:51,279 Speaker 7: start for the Giants today. 2691 02:29:51,480 --> 02:29:54,039 Speaker 2: He deserves it. He deserves it all. He really now. 2692 02:29:54,080 --> 02:29:56,879 Speaker 2: It is at the expense of Jackson Dart being hurt here, 2693 02:29:56,920 --> 02:30:00,960 Speaker 2: and we don't like seeing that. But Jamis wins is 2694 02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:06,519 Speaker 2: everybody's favorite backup quarterback, erratic thrower, ill advised passer. 2695 02:30:06,360 --> 02:30:07,560 Speaker 6: Eating the w's. 2696 02:30:07,959 --> 02:30:11,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, talking about Lasik biking around New Orleans during the 2697 02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:12,600 Speaker 7: Super Bowl. 2698 02:30:12,680 --> 02:30:15,360 Speaker 2: You know, the crab thing happened a long time ago. 2699 02:30:15,560 --> 02:30:19,720 Speaker 2: We've all forgotten about that. He is reborn. I love him. 2700 02:30:19,760 --> 02:30:22,760 Speaker 7: It's kind of like Baker Mayfield with the with the 2701 02:30:22,760 --> 02:30:26,000 Speaker 7: white T shirt and the white beater. 2702 02:30:26,240 --> 02:30:30,560 Speaker 6: Remember that, No, what did he do any rested or 2703 02:30:30,680 --> 02:30:30,880 Speaker 6: was that? 2704 02:30:31,120 --> 02:30:33,560 Speaker 2: Oh? Was he running from the cops? Was that him 2705 02:30:33,640 --> 02:30:34,520 Speaker 2: or john Manziel? 2706 02:30:34,959 --> 02:30:37,120 Speaker 6: Oh No, I think it was Baker. 2707 02:30:37,360 --> 02:30:40,560 Speaker 2: I get those white quarterbacks confused him so bad. Okay, anyways, 2708 02:30:40,720 --> 02:30:43,760 Speaker 2: I'm wide I can say that way. They were similar 2709 02:30:44,360 --> 02:30:47,840 Speaker 2: in their college ways. Okay, Dia Manzel unfortunately an attic 2710 02:30:47,959 --> 02:30:49,199 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield got together. 2711 02:30:49,520 --> 02:30:50,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2712 02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:54,640 Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield was arrested for public intoxication and then he 2713 02:30:54,800 --> 02:30:55,880 Speaker 7: was tackled and stuff. 2714 02:30:56,000 --> 02:30:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, young men make mistakes. You don't hold it against 2715 02:30:59,120 --> 02:30:59,600 Speaker 2: him forever. 2716 02:31:00,160 --> 02:31:02,200 Speaker 7: He was in the white wife beater, like I thought though, 2717 02:31:02,360 --> 02:31:06,320 Speaker 7: right Nation Project, Maybe that was Johnny Manziel. Okay, anyways, 2718 02:31:06,600 --> 02:31:09,040 Speaker 7: so yeah, so James Winston is starting So I just 2719 02:31:09,120 --> 02:31:11,880 Speaker 7: kind of thought like he's like a well loved cultural 2720 02:31:12,520 --> 02:31:15,720 Speaker 7: quarterback that we all like, all admire, and you know, 2721 02:31:15,760 --> 02:31:16,920 Speaker 7: as an athlete. 2722 02:31:16,879 --> 02:31:17,960 Speaker 2: He's a gun slinger. 2723 02:31:18,080 --> 02:31:18,960 Speaker 6: He's a gun slinger. 2724 02:31:19,560 --> 02:31:22,400 Speaker 2: He will risk it all at any point of the game. 2725 02:31:22,480 --> 02:31:24,480 Speaker 2: He reminds us of what we're missing now with no 2726 02:31:24,600 --> 02:31:26,360 Speaker 2: bread Varr exactly. 2727 02:31:26,840 --> 02:31:28,920 Speaker 7: So anyway, so I just thought, who are some athletes 2728 02:31:28,920 --> 02:31:32,760 Speaker 7: that have very memorable and lovable and personalities that we 2729 02:31:33,200 --> 02:31:36,480 Speaker 7: just love all together, right or just personally. So for 2730 02:31:36,640 --> 02:31:38,680 Speaker 7: my first one, I went Charles Barkley. 2731 02:31:40,200 --> 02:31:43,959 Speaker 2: Oh, it's a real tough choice there, Charles Barkley. 2732 02:31:44,640 --> 02:31:47,800 Speaker 6: I went chalk. I did go chalk a little. I 2733 02:31:47,879 --> 02:31:51,439 Speaker 6: went choky. And plus because I didn't get to see. 2734 02:31:51,120 --> 02:31:53,400 Speaker 7: A lot of his career, I was already like this 2735 02:31:53,600 --> 02:31:55,279 Speaker 7: was like the beginning part. 2736 02:31:55,040 --> 02:31:55,840 Speaker 6: Of my life. 2737 02:31:55,959 --> 02:32:00,760 Speaker 2: That's almost to chalk for you. No, it's just. 2738 02:32:03,080 --> 02:32:06,520 Speaker 7: We canna play that specific sound. Because he's known more 2739 02:32:07,680 --> 02:32:09,720 Speaker 7: for personality. 2740 02:32:09,160 --> 02:32:13,160 Speaker 2: Yes, being the biggest sports media personality analyst, however you 2741 02:32:13,200 --> 02:32:16,000 Speaker 2: want to put it, then being a Hall of Fame 2742 02:32:16,080 --> 02:32:21,080 Speaker 2: basketball player. At this point, you kids don't understand round 2743 02:32:21,440 --> 02:32:25,000 Speaker 2: bound a freebounding shut up in jam with Charles Barkley. 2744 02:32:25,080 --> 02:32:28,280 Speaker 7: He was, but he was a son. So I watched 2745 02:32:28,280 --> 02:32:33,000 Speaker 7: that footage. Okay, but I wasn't alive during it. I'm sorry. 2746 02:32:33,560 --> 02:32:34,560 Speaker 6: No, it's not my fault. 2747 02:32:34,720 --> 02:32:38,640 Speaker 2: I can't big women done. And he's funny and he's hilarious. 2748 02:32:38,720 --> 02:32:41,320 Speaker 6: Now okay, this is not your breeze. Three. You're gonna 2749 02:32:41,360 --> 02:32:42,000 Speaker 6: get to yourself. 2750 02:32:42,080 --> 02:32:43,360 Speaker 2: I get a critique, yours don't. 2751 02:32:43,360 --> 02:32:47,040 Speaker 6: I Oh sure, so that's my number one. My number two? 2752 02:32:47,280 --> 02:32:48,640 Speaker 6: I went Steve Nash. 2753 02:32:49,440 --> 02:32:54,120 Speaker 2: What personality does he have? Sheryl Crow would agree with me, 2754 02:32:54,200 --> 02:32:55,480 Speaker 2: he has no personality. 2755 02:32:55,840 --> 02:32:58,400 Speaker 6: Talking about is he done? 2756 02:32:58,480 --> 02:32:59,920 Speaker 2: You're thinking lamps armstrong? 2757 02:33:00,080 --> 02:33:00,560 Speaker 6: Yeah you are? 2758 02:33:00,680 --> 02:33:03,119 Speaker 2: Do they both leave their wife or show cops? Are 2759 02:33:04,040 --> 02:33:06,720 Speaker 2: Lance is the worst?

Yeah, it was interesting. 2784 02:34:01,800 --> 02:34:05,240 Speaker 7: So I think he's come a long way as a 2785 02:34:05,280 --> 02:34:09,000 Speaker 7: media personality, but when he was playing, he was also 2786 02:34:09,040 --> 02:34:11,280 Speaker 7: really interesting. There was a book Seven Seconds or Less, 2787 02:34:11,280 --> 02:34:14,600 Speaker 7: written by Jack McCollum, that Sports Illustrated writer, and in 2788 02:34:14,680 --> 02:34:17,560 Speaker 7: the book, he was talking about Sasha Vuya Chic when 2789 02:34:17,600 --> 02:34:20,280 Speaker 7: they were in the two thousand and six Western Conference 2790 02:34:20,280 --> 02:34:23,360 Speaker 7: Finals and like he literally was like I almost wanted 2791 02:34:23,360 --> 02:34:25,120 Speaker 7: to put my arm around this dude, and he dropped 2792 02:34:25,160 --> 02:34:27,840 Speaker 7: like three exclatives and he was like, you can't guard me. 2793 02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:30,800 Speaker 7: Like that's really cute, but you think you can guard me, 2794 02:34:30,840 --> 02:34:33,560 Speaker 7: you can't guard me. So like you know, it was 2795 02:34:33,600 --> 02:34:36,959 Speaker 7: like very underlining because on the surface he looked like 2796 02:34:37,080 --> 02:34:38,240 Speaker 7: very like, oh, he's just. 2797 02:34:38,240 --> 02:34:40,760 Speaker 6: Kind of chilled.

First running back is Walter Payton and then 2825 02:35:57,280 --> 02:36:02,080 Speaker 4: Marcus Allen, and then my third person is Michael Jordan. 2826 02:36:02,200 --> 02:36:05,400 Speaker 2: So those are my breeze three. Wait a second, I 2827 02:36:05,440 --> 02:36:08,039 Speaker 2: heard four guys in there. I had to bunch two 2828 02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:11,280 Speaker 2: to make my three.
