We got a lot 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: to get to, uh in this yere podcast. But I 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: want to start with a topic that I wanted to 7 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: give a couple of days before we brought it up, 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: and then I did think that it would be appropriate 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: to bring up after a couple of days had passed. 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: I went to the game Monday night and there was 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: a moment of silence for marshawn neland yeah, and Marshaw 12 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: Niland sent, you know, concerning text messages prior to his 13 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: what's what's being reported as a suicide? And I don't know. 14 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: I guess I just Jason, You're somebody who I respect. 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: We don't always we don't always agree on things, but 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: I think it's you're great for an interesting discussion. So 17 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: here's the interesting discussion. I don't think, I know, there's 18 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: no intent to encourage anybody to commit suicide, not that 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: stupid right, no intent at all. And I'd like to 20 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: think that the moments of silence the mentions of helplines, 21 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: all the little things that people are doing are because 22 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: they legitimately care about other human beings and they don't 23 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: want anybody to go through this sadness where you're mourning 24 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 2: the death of somebody who's so early in life, has 25 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: so much looked forward to, and they found a permanent 26 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: solution for what likely was the temporary problem. On the 27 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 2: other hand, I do understand the NFL saying, hey, look, 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: this is significant. We have to show that we care 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: for our players, because if we don't show for Marshawn 30 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: neland what happens, you know what happens to some of these. 31 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: Of course we have to do this. I guess this 32 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: is where it's hard, right because suicide rates are high. 33 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're an all time high, but 34 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: there are way more opportunities for people to get help. 35 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: So does it actually help people to mention here's where 36 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: you can get help. Whereas do we honestly think anybody 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: picked up the phone and called that helpline when they 38 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: saw it flashed across the screen right before their favorite 39 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: team played football. Jason, what do you think of how 40 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: we've handled Marshaw Neland's suicide? 41 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting question. I wanted to get some of the 42 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: facts straight, so I just typed into chat GBT. Right, 43 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: it looks like suicide rates are up considerably since the pandemic, 44 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: and I guess, I guess how they handled the suicide. 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 3: How the NFL is handling the suicide. I think in 46 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: mental health in general, I think they're in They're in 47 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: a bit of a bind. I don't think they know 48 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: how to do it. And there is the elephant in 49 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 3: the room that CTE could be the cause of any 50 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: NFL related mental health issue. So it's like the NFL 51 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: is kind of caught here. Do we acknowledge serious mental 52 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 3: health issues and suicide as it relates to that. Do 53 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 3: we continue to do what we try to do the 54 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: last ten years and ignore that CTE is a thing? 55 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's I think like most things that the 56 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: NFL tries to do outside of football, it just seems 57 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: to be kind of clumsy and doesn't seem to have 58 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: a direction. 59 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: I I don't know, if you're right, it doesn't really 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: seem to have a direction. It's it's just the we 61 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: have to we have to appear to be sensitive and 62 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: appear to have other people who can handle these problems 63 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: for us so that we can take it off our plate, 64 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: which is what most people want to do. All right, 65 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: here's the next question, and maybe this is Sam you 66 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: could answer it is do we think that I don't know, 67 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: like it's tragic that he killed himself? Is it a tragedy? 68 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: But again, I'm not trying to sound harsh, but I 69 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: do know what a tragedy looks like. And somebody going 70 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: through such incredible depression that they take their own life 71 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: is a tragic event. I don't know if it measures 72 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: up to a tragedy. And then again, like it's one 73 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: of those our brains are working, are performing properly. But 74 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: when somebody has a chemical imbalance and they're having suicidal 75 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: thoughts or they're going through massive depression and they're in 76 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: desperate search of dopamine, is it smart to celebrate people's 77 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: lives when they take their own Because then the person 78 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: who's going through their own depression and be like, well, 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: if I take my own life, it'll be celebrated. Otherwise 80 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: I'll just be ridiculed because I'm a failure. Because people 81 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: are going through depression and feel like they're a failure. 82 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 2: What do you think, Sam? 83 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, this is touchy. 84 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 4: You have to you absolutely have to acknowledge their passing 85 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 4: and it is tragic. But did he he had like 86 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: a he had an interaction with the police before this happened, 87 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: didn't he? And he had it almost It almost reminds 88 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 4: me of like the Kyriene Lacy story. And I hope 89 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 4: I'm not wrong any of this, but like sometimes people 90 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 4: get in trouble with the law or they're going to 91 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 4: face something in their lives that might really bring them 92 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 4: down for the next couple of years, like facing charges, 93 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: or they're just they have real real. 94 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: They came in on a welfare they became a welfare check. Okay, Yeah, 95 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: So he sounded up some group texts that are concerning 96 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: probably mental health. Their group text seem to be saying goodbye. 97 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: And he made a statement about not wanting to go 98 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: to prison or go to jail. Nobody knows what he 99 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: could have been references in terms of going behind bars. 100 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: I don't know. 101 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: This kind of it just sort of reminds me of 102 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: the immense pressure that sometimes students that really elite universities 103 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: put on themselves when they're not making the passing grade 104 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: or their grades aren't up to their snuff and they 105 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 4: end up killing themselves, and because they feel this pressure 106 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: from their parents and they put on themselves. And the 107 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 4: fact is that if you just waited out like life 108 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 4: in a year or three years or six months or 109 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 4: five years, whatever it may be, sometime in the future, 110 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 4: it'll get better. You can make it better for yourself 111 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 4: if you you know, if you just waited out like 112 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 4: its things can be really bad in the moment. Sometimes 113 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 4: people are impulsive and they make decisions just based on 114 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 4: their emotions that they're feeling. Like in the last forty 115 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 4: eight hours. Forty eight hours, I don't know what he 116 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 4: was dealing with, what he of interaction or crime he 117 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 4: might have been accused of. But I just seen this 118 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 4: before with with students at like Ivy League universities, and 119 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 4: I was like why because they felt all this pressure 120 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 4: and they felt just completely torn in the moment. 121 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. 122 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: Two weeks ago, Doug Martin, former running back, had an 123 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: interaction with cops. Died in custody, but he gave every 124 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: indication leading up to that that he was he was troubled, 125 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: he was in crisis mentally. There again, another welfare check 126 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: was called. Why was there not a moment of silence 127 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: for Doug Martin? What differentiates Doug Martin, who I'm guessing 128 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: was dealing with CTE combined with because. 129 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: He wasn't I guess because he wasn't a current player 130 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: would be the only thing, Yeah, that he's been out 131 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: of the lea apparently. So apparently he got pulled over. 132 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: So let me let me read this story, make sure 133 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: I get it right. Keena was He was pulled over 134 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: on Wednesday and then ran from police and then was 135 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: found dead in the early morning hours of Thursday with 136 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: a self inflicted gunshot wound after evading authorities, crashing a car, 137 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: and fleeing on foot. So Texas troopers attempted to stop 138 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: his car for a traffic violation near First Go on 139 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: Wednesday night, launching the brief pursuit, and ultimately he crashed 140 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 2: his car after evading evading authorities and then fled, fled, 141 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 2: fled on foot, and then took his own life. So 142 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: I guess the only thing would be he's a current 143 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: players opposed to a former player. 144 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he had just been in the news for 145 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 4: falling on a touchdown in you know what it was 146 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: the one of the only touchdowns that the Cowboys scored 147 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: against the Cardinals. So he just come off this like 148 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 4: epic high from a game that they lost, but it 149 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 4: was still a personal you know, achievement and note for him, 150 00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 4: and then all this happens. 151 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: It's perplexing. 152 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 4: Like I again speaking about whether whether it's Neeland or 153 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: Karen Lacy or you know, anybody else, Like we have 154 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 4: to wait for these details. But some people just have 155 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: a real hard time handling like the darkest moments in 156 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: their lives and they feel like there's no way out 157 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: and the only way out is to take their own life. 158 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: So you're saying that you sat through a moment of 159 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: silence and then what there was a billboard messaging with 160 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 3: the suicide hot Lawn hotline. Is that what that was 161 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 3: at the stadium? Yes, okay, because I think that that 162 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: that's probably the answer, right. I don't think that you're 163 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: celebrating the death. I don't think you're celebrating the life 164 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,479 Speaker 3: I mean of Neland as much as you're bringing awareness 165 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 3: to suicide help right in that moment for this, does. 166 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: Anybody not know that their suicide prevention lines out there? 167 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: And do you call that line if your brain is acting, 168 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 2: you know, it is so depressed and when you're feeling 169 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: the cityle. 170 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the whole conundrum, right, you're depressed, 171 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: are you going to want to seek help? That's seeking 172 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 3: help is the opposite of being depressed. 173 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: Right, And the other part too, it is that we 174 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: have more avenues for people to get free help than 175 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: we've ever had, and our suicide rates are still high, 176 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: if not even higher. 177 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: Dealing with depression is especially you know, especially cumbersome or 178 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: difficult with young people. Your brain is still developing. I'll 179 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 4: just have a personal ancdote. We had a kid named 180 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 4: Devin who worked on our family farm in Iowa. Really 181 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 4: nice kid, always seemed very happy, very chipper, was a 182 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 4: great worker, just a sweet kid, and didn't think suicide 183 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 4: was even anything remotely possible. And then like a year 184 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 4: or two after he stopped working on our farm, he 185 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 4: was off at college somewhere he killed himself. And you're 186 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 4: just like why, you just don't understand, because a lot 187 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: sometimes chemical depression is you can't it's an inexplicable you know, 188 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 4: it's it's it's like you're feeling this desire in your 189 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 4: brain that just defies logic and rationale, no question. 190 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: Now. 191 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: I look, I was when I was in Notre Dame. 192 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: I most deeply depressed and couldn't kind of pull myself 193 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: out of it. But I was never suicidal, right. It 194 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: just that's not something I've ever experienced in my life, 195 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: knock Wood. But it's a fascinating topic. And I just 196 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: remember watching it on all the NFL games and we're 197 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: all kind of going through the motions of a moment 198 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: of silence, and again, just my it's it's one of 199 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: those do we are we recognizing it too much? On 200 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: the other hand, I don't know if there is a 201 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: too much, because it shows people are truly compassionate, and 202 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: maybe it's the look at how much we care for 203 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 2: this guy who we didn't even know, and so maybe 204 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: that that can be translated to somebody, you know, is 205 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: imagine how people really feel about you. You should not 206 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: do this. I don't know, it's a there's no right answer. 207 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 2: I just thought it was worthy of a discussion. But 208 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: I thought that was worthy of a discussion, you know, 209 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: in a time a little bit after it took place, 210 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: which was today, I thought was aff air to breathe. 211 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb 212 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox 213 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 214 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: Let's let's get to what the Fox says and now 215 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: every day at this time in the Modut podcast, play 216 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: for your portion of my previous show Fox Sports Radio, 217 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: Fox Sports One. Here's Ready Quinn talking about Aaron Rodgers 218 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: and the Steelers' offense. 219 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 5: I keep going back to this whole time to throw 220 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 5: stat because it was evident watching it, Like I see 221 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 5: Mike as soon as Aaron Rodgers got the ball in 222 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 5: his hand, he wanted to get it out. He leads 223 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 5: the league in that he's digging out faster than any 224 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 5: other quarterback. And I'm not saying that this is like 225 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 5: in direct relation to the fact that you know, Aaron Rodgers, 226 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 5: Brady Ben Roelisberger, all those guys were very, very late 227 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 5: in their career and didn't want to get hit. But 228 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 5: I think that's a part of it. Like, even though 229 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 5: there's an element of, well, these guys know where to 230 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 5: go at the football because they've been playing for so long, 231 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 5: everything's moving in slow motion, there's also an element of 232 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 5: they probably don't want to get hit. You know, your 233 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 5: most important ability is durability, and if you're out there 234 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 5: for the next series, you're out there to live on 235 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 5: to play the next down or live on to play 236 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 5: the next series. That's usually what makes you most effective 237 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 5: and is what's best for your team. So I'm not 238 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 5: knocking it, it's just the problem is when I'm watching 239 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 5: the Steelers offense there, it doesn't feel like there's much 240 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 5: of a I want to say threat because with DK 241 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 5: Metcalf and some of the other speed they've got, with 242 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 5: Austin and Wilson a wide receiver, there's a threat of 243 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 5: them being able to go downfield, but it doesn't feel 244 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 5: like it feels like they're reluctant to do so. 245 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: I also think that Brady is not He's saying what 246 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: needs to be said without saying it in a way 247 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 2: in which it truly should come across. They don't want 248 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: to get hit because they're forty years old and it 249 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: hurts a whole lot more and truthfully, they don't really 250 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: want to be playing this game. They're gonna get hit 251 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: and which is going to cause people to hit him more. 252 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: And oh yeah, by the way, we talked about this, 253 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 2: it's The unspoken part about older quarterbacks that you can't 254 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: really calculate for is are they willing to take a 255 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: hit in order to win a game? And Aaron Rodgers 256 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: to this point is not, despite the fact that the 257 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: threat the rest of his career, the answer was absolutely. 258 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: Here's Nick Right and Chris Broussard talking about the Luca 259 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 2: trade and the firing of Nico Harrison. 260 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 6: It's simply the worst move an executive is made in 261 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 6: sports in one hundred years. 262 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 7: It's art Darth. 263 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 6: It's simply that his humorous and quotes after the fact, 264 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 6: if the trade itself didn't fully do him in, they 265 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 6: did him in. I want to I mean this, and 266 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 6: I know it's just sports, but it's not just sports, 267 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 6: like people that love sports love sports, and it really 268 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 6: does impact like your mood and how you feel and 269 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 6: the the ability to follow a team and follow a player. 270 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:17,239 Speaker 6: What this guy's hubris or ego or owned basketball malfunction 271 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 6: his brain did the MAVs fans is one of the 272 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 6: saddest things I've seen in recent in sports. Said is 273 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 6: what I mean it. We are right, we are used 274 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: to in sports. A there's a chance a player is 275 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 6: gonna get mad and demand out like we got it. 276 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 6: We were prepared for that. But if you were a 277 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 6: Mavericks fan, you were just like, like, can you imagine, 278 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 6: Kate of you imagine if in two years and two 279 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 6: more top five MVP finishes, you wake up one morning 280 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 6: and Elliott Wolf traded Drake May. 281 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, it's become an awful trade because Anthony Davis 282 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: was hurt and was that foreseeable? Yeah, Kyrie Irving getting hurt, 283 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: was that foreseeable? Yeah, But I wouldn't lose track of 284 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: the fact that Luca was not getting in better shape 285 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: with the Mavericks. It was a yearly it was a 286 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: yearly dance they did. And I honestly don't care about 287 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: Mavericks fans because they'll come around if you're winning. It 288 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: was a volado and risky trade, and this is what 289 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: happens when a volado risky trade doesn't pan out. I'd 290 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: also point out it's incredibly unfair to UH to judge 291 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: him now before everybody's back healthy, because if he gets 292 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: Kyrie back healthy, if he gets Anthony Davis back healthy, 293 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: it should be a former old team. This is this 294 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: is fan talk, not real talk, and I think that's 295 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: what Nick is really relating. Here's Colin Cowhert talking about 296 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams and Ben Johnson today. 297 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 7: He proves that young talented quarterbacks, even super hyper talented quarterbacks, 298 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 7: they just need a baseline of support and common sense. 299 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 7: Ben Johnson takes this job, does he say, Caleb, I 300 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 7: want more zany flashy plays? 301 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: No. 302 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 7: The first thing he addresses, we got to get better 303 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 7: at guard, center, guard, not even the most dynamic offensive 304 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 7: line positions. The second thing he says, Hey, I got 305 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 7: to ask you something, Caleb, can. 306 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 3: You not run backwards? 307 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 7: I want to eliminate the negative plays and the pre 308 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 7: stat penalties because when you're not first and fifteen or 309 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 7: first and twenty or second in twenty eight because you 310 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 7: got sacked running backwards, you run the ball better and 311 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 7: you run the ball more often, and that helps the quarterback. 312 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 7: But Caleb was not terrible last year. He was wildly flashy. 313 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 7: Twenty touchdown, six picks. It's all the little stuff that 314 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 7: makes great parenting and great quarterback. Because the wild dynamic 315 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 7: running thing that is really really easy for Caleb Williams, 316 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 7: that's innate, that's natural. That's gonna come Caleb's success this 317 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 7: year is on all the minutia of the NFL. Efficiency 318 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 7: matters whether you're at Meta Fox Sports of the Bears, 319 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 7: and suddenly he's the hottest quarterback in the league. 320 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 2: Now, I should point out that the same Colin Cowhard 321 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: talk about the exact same quarterback, Caleb Williams seven weeks ago. Today. 322 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say. 323 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 7: The coach wants this, and this player is capable of 324 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 7: doing this, and it doesn't mesh. There are two or 325 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 7: three things you have to do in this league. You 326 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 7: have to be consistently accurate, and you have to be 327 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 7: an anticipation thrower. You have to see stuff before it's 328 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 7: wide open, and he doesn't. It also helps if you 329 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 7: have a composure. I don't think he does. Maybe there's 330 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 7: a coach it works with, but this is a marriage. 331 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 7: They don't compliment each other. I don't think it's Ben Johnson. 332 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: So Colin doesn't think the mayor it would work seven 333 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: weeks ago. Now it's working together perfectly. It's all because 334 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: of Ben Johnson. That's what the Fox said. 335 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: I say. Be sure to catch live editions of The 336 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific 337 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 338 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: Let's find out who what is annoying Jason Stewart. 339 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: And now it's your annoying, Hey, Doug. 340 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 3: Aaron gwen has been a feature on this segment for 341 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 3: the last few weeks, and it's because he has this 342 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 3: weird relationship with the New York media. Remember a couple 343 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 3: of weeks ago, he just wouldn't tell anybody who the 344 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 3: quarterback was. Two of his very below average quarterbacks. He 345 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: wanted to keep it a secret. And then I guess 346 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 3: On Tuesday, Rich Samini reported in the morning that Garrett 347 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 3: Wilson might miss a few weeks and that really ticked 348 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: off Aaron Glenn, so he took it out on reporters 349 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: and Rich Samini yesterday. 350 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 8: I'm going to to pass on talking about injuries since 351 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 8: you're Rich, He's not here, has all the answers, so 352 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 8: you can, guys can get all the injuries from Rich. 353 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 8: So I go right into this air game as Rich, Well, 354 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 8: I'm telling you that's Rich. You not here, Well you 355 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 8: better call him. No disrespect to you or Rich, but 356 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 8: like we want to hear it from you. You know, 357 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 8: you guys have been here. You guys have been hearing 358 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 8: from me. But now, since we're just reporting stuff you 359 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 8: know that I haven't said, then maybe you should ask you. 360 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: I just think that his I think in his mind 361 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 3: his strategy this season is I'm going to change the 362 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: way this game has been covered and reported on. I'm 363 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 3: going to will the New York media into bending towards me. 364 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 3: I'm going to win this battle with the media and 365 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 3: come out on the other end on top. Does that 366 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: ever work, Doug? 367 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: Nope? Does that work unless all the way it works 368 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 2: is if you win a lot, a lot of games 369 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: and there are ways away from you with that, it 370 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: does not work. Who else do you? 371 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 3: Aj Brown, another guy who's been in this segment, he 372 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 3: said something pretty shitty on a what do you call 373 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: those things? When you watch people play video games? You 374 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 3: know that gen Z does it? 375 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, which I mean Twitch is a stream you 376 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 4: can do it on. 377 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 3: You sit there and watch people play video games. Some 378 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: real famous video game player was playing AJ Brown on 379 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 3: a live stream yesterday. If you got me on Fantasy, 380 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 3: you're rid of That was real short. But that's AJ 381 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: Brown telling livestream audience that if you have him in Fantasy, 382 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 3: you could let him go drop him off your roster. So, 383 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: just to get this straight, AJ Brown is a top 384 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: twenty pick in almost all fantasy leagues, all fantasy drafts. 385 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 3: If you had AJ Brown this year, you probably are 386 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 3: suffering because of it. And AJ Brown, the actual subject 387 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: is telling you you should probably drop him. I don't. 388 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: I just don't know where to put AJ Brown here. 389 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know what to consider him. 390 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: The trade deadline came and went, and he stayed an eagle. 391 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: The controversial play the other night, Doug that you saw 392 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 3: from Lambeau leap Land, I thought AJ Brown gave up 393 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: on that pass. He didn't. He didn't try to catch it. 394 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 3: You know when you see the receiver kind of stop 395 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: and jump and try to catch it before the defensive 396 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 3: back gets to it. Like he just kind of gave 397 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 3: up on it. I don't know where to put AJ Brown, 398 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 3: but it's really annoying. 399 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 2: I would agree with you it is. It's really annoying. Uh, 400 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: He's just annoying because he's kind of everywhere, and he 401 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: hasn't been relevant in sports in half a decade. But 402 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 2: he's relevant because he's in that Tyson zone. Nothing that 403 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: could be said about him. You wouldn't bled to be true. 404 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 3: So yesterday Donald Trump was on the Pat McAfee show. 405 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 3: So I know, just that comment alone just triggered half 406 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 3: our audience. I get that. And again I'll always say this, 407 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: it's a choice to be triggered. You could choose not 408 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 3: to be triggered. But Donald Trump was on the Pat 409 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: McAfee show yesterday, so that's significant. And then he said 410 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 3: something about college football sports here it is. 411 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 9: Well, it is a very serious problem because even football, 412 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 9: when they give quarterbacks twelve million, thirteen fourteen million dollars, 413 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 9: they read a couple of them, and all of a sudden, 414 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 9: you're going to see it's going to be out of control. 415 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 9: And even rich colleges are going to go bust because 416 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 9: you're not going to be able to do this. And 417 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 9: you know, they had the old way. They gave scholarships 418 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 9: and they did lots of good things, but there could 419 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 9: be some form of payment. But when they start bidding 420 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 9: up the costs. Look the NFL and all of you know, 421 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 9: all teams they have caps. You don't really have that 422 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 9: in college sports. And when the guard comes along that 423 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 9: weighs three hundred and fifty pounds, of these phenomenal, and 424 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 9: they say that's going to make the difference between having 425 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 9: a great team and a lousie team, and they give 426 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 9: him ten million dollars. That's going to start happening pretty 427 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 9: so all of a sudden, you're going to have like 428 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 9: NFL type payrolls. 429 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: So there's a there's a couple of ways to go 430 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 3: on this. You could disagree with his thoughts on NL 431 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 3: and what college sports needs to do. You could agree 432 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: with it whatever. But the Bacari Sellers and Jamel Hills 433 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: are going to choose to say, this is Donald Trump 434 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 3: who doesn't isn't comfortable with young black men making a 435 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 3: lot of money. And that's just it. It's very predictable. 436 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 3: But you coach a college team, I don't know what 437 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: percentage of your team is black. I don't know what 438 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 3: the overall percentage of college football players is that are 439 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: black versus white. Probably close to fifty to fifty, maybe 440 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: it's maybe it's a ratio of sixty forty. I do 441 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 3: know that Eli Manning makes a shit load of money 442 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 3: in NIL and he's not black. Most of the quarterbacks 443 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 3: that are white in Major five conferences are making significant 444 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 3: amount of money. So to make this a racial thing 445 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 3: is so predictable and annoying. 446 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree with you more, couldn't agree with you more 447 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: anybody else? 448 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 3: No Trump, AJ Brown and Aaron GWe. 449 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna make it. I'll make it. I'll 450 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: make it Donald Trump, and just all the ways in 451 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: which it becomes something racial, what it does not have 452 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: to be. 453 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 3: Why are we doing this. 454 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: Because we can? 455 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: Raymond Green had a succinct take about the MAVs firing 456 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 3: Nico Harrison. 457 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 10: Everybody was shitting on Luca last year. Now Luca's playing 458 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 10: Green and everybody. I want to take that opportunity to 459 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 10: ship on Nico because Dallas is playing bad. But it's 460 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 10: not apples to apples. The team that he constructed to 461 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 10: be out there isn't out there. 462 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I mean happens in any of 463 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 2: these bad years, That's generally what happens. Why can't play 464 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: it for you? Because we can't? Uh, who would who 465 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: would have thought? Who would have thought that? Of all 466 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 2: the guys to be the voice of reason, that's who 467 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: is the voice of reason? Raymond Green, Raymond Green, and 468 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: that's boys boys talking about with Nico Harrison's like you 469 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 2: can judge me and say, hey, you should have known 470 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: if you want to say that Anthony Davis was liking 471 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: to get hurt. Okay, Kyrie, you know he's massively injury 472 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: prone but had n't been hurt, and he tears his 473 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: ACL I'm with you. Nobody wants reality. They just want 474 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: to feed the fans, so they're saytiated. That's the end 475 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 2: the Modus Podcast. She got the radio show three to 476 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: five Eastern Talk to Pacific, Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app. 477 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 2: I'm Doug Gottlieb
