1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntire.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntire.

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Wednesday, February twelfth. Finally got back on

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: track on college hoops gambling. Man. I had had a

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: bad stretch there, folks in. I sold two and one

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: last night Tennessee. Tough loss. I don't know how they

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: blew that game, or it would have been a three

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: and oh, but good to be back in the mix.

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: Connecticut and underdog outright winner, and then k State also

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: three point dog and was able to hold on at

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: home against Arizona. Listen, guys, March Madness is like a

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: month away. You got to start to lock in. You

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: want to win your pool, you want to win a

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: bunch of bets. I mean, honestly, you guys know my history.

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: I am big NFL college football gambler. I'll dabble in

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: the NBA, but not that much. And I go hog

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: wild on March Madness. Other than that, I'm keeping the

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: powder dry through the summer. I'm not betting on baseball.

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: I'm not forcing anything. I'm not a degenerate, but I

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: do love me some college basketball. Anyways, We've got some

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: great topics today, and I want to tease tomorrow's guest,

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah. We're gonna do the NFL Draft. We're diving in.

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: He's coming on tomorrow. Get excited, get crunk, as the

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: kids say, we'll get to that. Obviously, a lot of

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: NFL draft stuff swirling. I've seen a couple of mock

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: drafts this week, you know, post Super Bowl, a bunch

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: of people put out mock drafts, and I'm like, Travis

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Hunter number one, ab Dual Carter number one, like they're

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: really good players. But guys, it's gonna be a quarterback. Okay,

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: don't have to try to outthink the room. I know

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: sometimes people trying to get clicks by putting a non

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: quarterback up top early. It's early in the process, so

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: you know, this is still a long ways to go.

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: And then as you get closer, everybody, oh, yeah, yeah,

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna go quarterback. When you know now it's gonna

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: be quarterback. Let's get this garbage.

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Out of the way.

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore leaving the Eagles to be a head coach

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: of the New Orleans Saints. Kellamore is thirty five years old.

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: That offense should return intact I don't see anybody retiring.

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: I don't see any major free agents on that offense.

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got a chance to be spectacular again.

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Now I am of the belief, and again I don't

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: want to be super critical, but there are numbers out there. Historically,

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 2: when a running back gets massive, massive usage the following year,

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: there is a big time drop off, and some of

47
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: that's due to injury. Dereck Henry has mostly been immune

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: to it, but he has had his woes. You can,

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: guys can look it up. Go to the stats NFL Stats,

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: not the NFL website, but it's Pro Football stats, and

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: you can look at the carries. Derek Henry leading the

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: league carries in the next year. We'll pull back Christian

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: McCaffrey two seasons ago, monster year as the Niners go

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, and what happens last year barely

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: plays hurt, Sakwon Barkley, huge season carries, catches. You know,

56
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: I'm hopefully it doesn't get hurt, but that's the reality.

57
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: I think you guys need to prepare for that. I

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: don't think the Eagles will repeat. They got a bunch

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: of I think three or four defensive starters are free agents.

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: They won't be able to afford all of them. Zach

61
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: Bond in the middle. Oh, somebody's gonna somebody's gonna lock

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: him in. We'll do NFL first, and then I'll wrap

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: up with a couple of NBA notes. So obviously, Kelly

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: Moore going to the Saints, I don't love that move.

65
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: I know, and listen, I'm not being coded here because

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Cowhurt and I have joked about this stuff on the show.

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: But everybody wants to be the guy, right. You want

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: to be the head coach, you want to be the

69
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. You want your opportunity. So when that opportunity

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: presents itself, you jump at it. The problem is, oh,

71
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: by the way, that applies to TV shows as well.

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: I'll just put that out there. The problem is when

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: do you take that chance? Because the chances are gonna come.

74
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: The problem is if you don't take the right one,

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: there's a chance to go sideways, perhaps quickly, and that

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: was your chance. Gerrod Mayo, I don't know that anybody

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: had him ticketed for greatness as a head coach, but

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: he jumped at the opportunity to coach the Patriots, and

79
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: within a year he's gone, and I can guarantee you

80
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Gerroed Mayo will not be a head coach anytime soon.

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: Maybe not again. He had his shot, and so Kellen Moore,

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: who has been an OC for I believe so his Eagles,

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: it was Chargers, and then it was Cowboys in the

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: last three years. So now he's going to be the

85
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: head coach of the Saints. And it's pretty clear for

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: him jumping around he really wants to be a head coach,

87
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: wants to be the guy. I'm sure he's done his

88
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: homework on the Saints, but this is not a good job. Guys.

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: It's just not like, I don't know what you do

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: at quarterback. Do you want to keep Derek Carr? I

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: don't know. Chris o'lave is a good young receiver. I

92
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: mean he had like six concut well it's probably two

93
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: or three concussions this year. I know because I had

94
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: him in fantasy. Alvin Kamara is getting up there, long

95
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: in the tooth. Sounds like he may not be long

96
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: for New Orleans. They're gonna have to get off a

97
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: bunch of guys. It's essentially a rebuild without that tag.

98
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: If you ask me, now, who pre draft pre free agency.

99
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: What's the order next year in the NFC South. I

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: would go Atlanta wins ten, Tampa wins nine, Carolina wins seven,

101
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: and the Saints win five. That would be my guest

102
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: as of right now. I just I don't and don't

103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: come out and say, well, Kellen Moore, it's such a

104
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: great year in Philly. Yeah, he had a pretty damn

105
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: good year. They added a ferrari to their stable in

106
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: Saquon Barklay. They've already got a top six receiver in

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: aj Brown, a top fifteen receiver in DeVonta Smith, a

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: top ten tight end in Dallas Goddard. I believe, a

109
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: top five quarterback, number five in Jalen Hurts, number one

110
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: offensive line. Like it was set up for success for

111
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore. They got through the early bumpy stuff and thrived.

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: But now he's going to New Orleans and it's like

113
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: that Will Smith meme from Fresh Prince of bel Air,

114
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: like when the show was ending when he walks into

115
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: the family room and there's just nothing there and he's

116
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: looking around. He's like, oh boy, this it's over. And

117
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what Kellen Moore is going into.

118
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: But I'm not hating on the Saints people, and when

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: you say that stuff, people are like, what do you

120
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: hate the Saints? Guys? That's a reality. It's just it's

121
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: not a good situation for New Orleans right now. They've

122
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: got a major, major uphill climb.

127
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: I do want to rattle off four five names here

128
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: for you that all have something in common. Sam Darnold,

129
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford any want

130
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: to want to take a guess what they might have

131
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: in common. Five NFL quarterbacks who all could be on

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: the move here in the next two months, month and

133
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: a half. Whatever it is, folks, I think confidently I

134
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: can say Sam Donald will not be the Vikings quarterback.

135
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: You don't draft JJ McCarthy to then sign an extension

136
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: to Sam Donald. I mean McCarthy was a I think

137
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: when ninth overall, it doesn't make sense. They're a really

138
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: good team. They made the playoffs. They can take the

139
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: next step by punting on Donald getting ninety percent of

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: the production that he delivered while reallocating the Donald money

141
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: into you know, the running back room, if you don't

142
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: if you weren't happy with Aaron Jones, the defensive pass rush.

143
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: There's just so many options that they can do with

144
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: that Donald money. And I believe JJ McCarthy can probably

145
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: deliver eighty to ninety percent of what Donald did. And oh,

146
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: by the way, I know Donald was great for much

147
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: of the season. The end of the year when it

148
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: mattered most against Detroit and in the playoff game, he

149
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: was not good at all. Like you know, he out

150
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: kicked his coverage, he exceeded expectations, he played above the rim,

151
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: whatever analogy you want to use. Sam Donald had a

152
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: great season, and he's gonna move on and get paid.

153
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't know where he's gonna go. That's a fun game.

154
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: Where's Sam Donald quarterbacking next year? It could be the Colts,

155
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: could be the Raiders. There aren't a ton of jobs.

156
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine him going back to the Jets now

157
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers is gone. But Donald's gonna have options.

158
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: The second name is Aaron Rodgers. Diana Russini had a

159
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: report that Aaron Rodgers flew on his own dime last

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: week to visit the Jets and talk about his future,

161
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: and apparently, according to this report, Rogers was met with, hey, man,

162
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 2: how are you cool. We've got a couple ground rules here.

163
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna need to be at training camp. There's no

164
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: going to Egypt that that's not gonna fly. We need you.

165
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: You're a leader on the team. And also, if you

166
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: want to be back next year, you can't do that

167
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: paid spot on the Pat McAfee show. You cannot get

168
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: paid a million dollars to go on a weekly radio

169
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: show where you're lighting fires left and right and you're

170
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: taking taking jabs quote unquote jabs at politics, looking into

171
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: the Kennedy assassination. You know, I mean, he's just this

172
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: is what Rogers does. He just comes up with wacky

173
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: stuff and just throws it out there. He basically pulls

174
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: the pin on a grenade and just tosses it into

175
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: the ether while being paid handsomely to try to gin

176
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: up ratings for Pat McAfee. And it's like, we don't

177
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: want you doing that, dude. It causes a firestorm. Yes,

178
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: when a starting quarterback every week basically is trying to

179
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: say and send the eary stuff. And that's what he's doing. Guys.

180
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: I know you can defend Rogers and all that, and

181
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: I know it sounds like I'm being hard, but the

182
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: reality is that's what he's doing. Every week. He's essentially saying, Oh, yeah, Fauci,

183
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: who's the guy Epstein? Yeah, you're gonna release the epste

184
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: getting in fights with Jimmy Kimmel. What we're doing, your

185
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: freaking NFL quarterback out of season? Go ahead, argue with

186
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: anybody you want. When you're out of the building and

187
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: the season's over and we won the Super Bowl. Don't

188
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: do it in September. Don't do that stuff in the

189
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: middle of the season. It serves nobody except yourself. And so,

190
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: according to Russini, the Jets said this to him and Rogers.

191
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: It's unclear what his reaction was, but as a result,

192
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, according to Glazer and everybody, now he ain't

193
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: gonna be with the Jets next year. So Rogers all

194
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: of a sudden hits the market. Does he jump at

195
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: the Raiders. Does he go across town to the New

196
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: York Giants and really stick it to the Jets? I mean, listen,

197
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: there's a few openings out there. Not a lot of

198
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: great on was Maybe Tennessee says with the number one pick,

199
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 2: we don't want a quarterback, will rent Aaron Rodgers for

200
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: two years. I would not recommend that, but anything's in play.

201
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers could say, hey, hey, hey, Brock,

202
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: you want sixty mil. Yeah, we're gonna take Aaron for

203
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: twenty five and take our best shot because we don't

204
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: want to pay anybody sixty million dollars. I don't know

205
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: anything is possible. Luka Doncis just got traded. My default,

206
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: when you're saying that's crazy, there's no way it's gonna happen.

207
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: My default is gonna be like the MAVs traded Luka Doncic.

208
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say that for everything, baseball, basketball, football,

209
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: whatever it is. The MAVs traded Luca Duncic. Why couldn't

210
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers Landon San fran and Brock Purty is not

211
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback there next year? Well why not?

212
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: Now?

213
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen, but it's in play.

214
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: Anything's in play. Next up Russell Wilson again, reports are

215
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: the Steelers. It was it was a good season, but

216
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith and Russell Wilson did not see eye to eye.

217
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: We talked about it all year. The Steelers were smoking mirrors, baby.

218
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: They would hit a couple big plays, ride the defense,

219
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden it looked like Russell Wilson

220
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: was kicking ass and taking name. The reality is nothing

221
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: close to that. Their offensive success rate was not good.

222
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: They got smoked late in the season because it was

223
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: pretty obvious what they were doing. Once Pickens went sideways,

224
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: that was it. That was a wrap and this team

225
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: kind of fell apart and the Pittsburgh Steelers are going

226
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: to be in the market for a quarterback this offseason. Now.

227
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means for Russ, but the

228
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers, do they rent Aaron Rodgers? Do they go

229
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold? I don't see that. Do they go Kirk Cousins?

230
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: And Kirk Cousins is another name ghost to Atlanta, big excitement,

231
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: huge contract, says he wants to end his career as

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: a Falcon, and then they draft Michael Pennix and it's like,

233
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: what the Hell's going on here? And Kirk Cousins proceeds

234
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: to play poorly coming off the Achilles and late in

235
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: the season after a horrific stretch, gets benched, and it's

236
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: the Michael Pennick Show, and they drafted Pennicks for a reason.

237
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: And Kirk Cousins is done in Atlanta. I cannot imagine

238
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 2: him wanting to be the backup there that that makes

239
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: absolutely no sense. And my guess is they try to

240
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: pawn him off somewhere or cut him. It's weird. We've

241
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 2: heard nothing about kirk Cousins trade, nothing, they're the smart

242
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: move is to keep it under wraps, right and do

243
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: it quietly and then give it to the media. It's

244
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: weird that nothing has leaked about kirk Cousins. Is it

245
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: not a little strange? Now? It is early in the

246
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: process the Super Bowl? Just wrap. Maybe we get some

247
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:32,119
Speaker 2: stuff this week, But I don't know, Guys, Kirk Cousins,

248
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: could he land with my jets by they're moving off Rogers,

249
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's a great fit. I would

250
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: sooner bottom out, you know, and maybe having a shot

251
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: at the number one pick next year, as opposed to

252
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: try to chase Wins with Kirk Cousins for a year

253
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: or two and then just get back right back to

254
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: this same spot. It's frustrating. Kirk Cousins could certainly go

255
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: to a Seattle if they're done with Ginosmith. Kirk Cousins

256
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: could go to Tennessee. He could. I think the Colts

257
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: indoors makes a hell of a lot of sense. But

258
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is going to have some options and the

259
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: final one is juicy. And I pushed it on my

260
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: ig last week, and that's something I heard at the

261
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl that Matt Stafford and the New York Giants

262
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: is in play. Now, there had been rumors, Oh, what

263
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: if the Giants could get Matt Stafford, that would be great,

264
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: But things accelerated at the Super Bowl because it's clear

265
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: if you go look at the NFL quarterback contracts for

266
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: next year total cash, Matt Stafford's not in the top twenty.

267
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: And if you remember last offseason, Stafford again not thrilled

268
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: with where he was given his production getting the team

269
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. They won a Super Bowl a couple

270
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: of years ago. By the way, did people forget how

271
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: close the Rams were to beating the Eagles in the

272
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: playoffs this year? Certainly closer to the Patrick Mahomes. The

273
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: Rams had the ball driving to possibly win the game. Okay,

274
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: idea that like Matt Stafford's kind of watched that is

275
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: total boulderdash. I mean he is very, very good. Matt

276
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: Stafford to me is still a top ten quarterback in

277
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: the league. Now, is he old? Yes, a lot of

278
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: tread on the tires hell, yes, But they pushed the

279
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: Eagles and I know it didn't start well for the Rams,

280
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: but it the third and fourth quarter they were back

281
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: in that game thanks to Stafford. So why would he leave? Well,

282
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: I think the Rams have shown a reluctance to lock

283
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: him up for big money for multiple years given his age.

284
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, they just moved off his

285
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: boy Cooper Cup. They're tight, And I don't think it's

286
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: an accident that Matt Stafford's wife went on another podcast,

287
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: or maybe it was her own, I don't know, but

288
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: she went on a podcast and it got picked up

289
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: very soon after the Cooper Cup thing, and she was

290
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: venting shall we say now, I don't know Kelly Stafford obviously,

291
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: you know she was a cheerleader at Georgia. That's whe

292
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: her and Stafford met. They've been married for a long time,

293
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of kids. Yes, they have a beach house,

294
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: out here in my town. I have not personally seen Stafford.

295
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: I do know where his beach house is. It's a

296
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: baller house. It's on the beach. Like, he's still a

297
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: great player. He seems like a good guy, and I

298
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: don't think he's thrilled that they moved off Cooper Cup

299
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: and folks, you know, in the video I posted on IG,

300
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: I did tease that there would be a connection coming

301
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: out here shortly. And of course what happens on Monday,

302
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter announces that the New York Giants Okay, hired

303
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: a gentleman by the name of Chad Hall, who just

304
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: happens to be Matt Stafford's brother in law, his wife's brother.

305
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: They hired him as like a position coach. So if

306
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: you're trying to make a play for Matt Stafford and oh,

307
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: by the way, Cooper Cup too, it's not a bad

308
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: idea to have your best player elite neighbors go online

309
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: and say come on, we need And he didn't call

310
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: him my name, he just put their numbers Stafford and

311
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup. And I'm here to tell you, like, I

312
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: don't know if it's gonna happen, but it's firmly in

313
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: play that the Rams and Stafford may not agree, and

314
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: the Rams could move off Stafford ship him to the Giants.

315
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup signs with the Giants and saves Brian Dables's job.

316
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 2: We know Dabele and Shane are on the hot seat, Okay,

317
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds like they were close to getting fired.

318
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: They're getting another crack. Doesn't look like they're gonna get

319
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: a quarterback in the draft. I mean, stranger things have happened.

320
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: I don't think they would have to give up their

321
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: top ten pick for Stafford. I just don't see that

322
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: at all, and that given Stafford's age. But it smells

323
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: to me like this is in play, and this is

324
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: where it complicates things. The Rams have never been shy

325
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: to move off guys, they just haven't. They had Jared Goff,

326
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: he went to a Super Bowl. They moved off of them.

327
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: They had Todd Gurley. They were like, it's not working,

328
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: he keeps getting hurt. What we're done. We're not gonna

329
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: sit around. This is a business. It's not personal. Cooper

330
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: Cup and listened to the names. I just read guys,

331
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: Darnold Rogers, Russell, Wilson, Kirk Cousins. I mean, if the

332
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: Rams can get one of those guys for half of

333
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: what Stafford's gonna make, don't you kind of have to

334
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: entertain that Now. I don't want to lose Stafford. I

335
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: think he's a tremendous quarterback. But in my mind, like

336
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if Stafford would went to

337
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: the Giants and one of these other guys was the

338
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the La Rams next year. I really

339
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: think we're we're up for a quarterback musical chairs. Now.

340
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: If Stafford doesn't go, the Giants are kind of screwed

341
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: because I don't love I don't love Darnold going back

342
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 2: to New York. I don't love Rogers staying in New York.

343
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: I don't think the Russell Wilson thing would work. And

344
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: then Kirk Cousins, you know outdoors, he needs to be

345
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 2: in an indoor setting, given his age and the arm strength.

346
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: This isn't there. We saw that on the pick six

347
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: late in the season. So the quarterback position could get

348
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: super spicy this offseason.

00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: All right, we'll wrap up quickly with a couple of

354
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: NBA notes, mostly because Lakers are playing the Jazz again tonight.

355
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: Very interesting. Now, I would not go ahead and bet

356
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers again to coover easily. You know the Jazz

357
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: are going to put up a fight this time. They

358
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: just got embarrassed. I mean, they were down thirty most

359
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: of the game, but I'm excited for that. I did

360
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: check in on the Sixers and holy hell, they were

361
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: so bowed by their audience, by their home fans, and

362
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: I lost to Toronto. This is a bottom feeder Toronto team.

363
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: They're clearly not tanking. They just traded for brandon Ingram

364
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: and signed him to a new deal. But like folks,

365
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: once again, they have their guys. Paul George played, Joel

366
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: Embiid played, Tyrese Maxi played, and they lost to the Raptors.

367
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: Maxi thirty four minutes, one of nine, one of seven

368
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: shooting sounds like me in a maybe one of my

369
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: tougher Men's League games. He was a minus fifteen. They

370
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: leaned heavily on Quentin Grimes and Jared Butler. Like this

371
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 2: Sixers team is a train wreck. The biggest disappointment in

372
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: the league, without a doubt is the Sixers, And I

373
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: just I don't know what you do where you go

374
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 2: from here. Joel Embiid is not nobody's trading for him.

375
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's getting a surgery in the offseason.

376
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: You want Maxie obviously to build around, but who's taking

377
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: Paul George? Has anybody seen anything from Paul George. I'm

378
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: on a chechchain with a couple guys I hoop with

379
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: and I was like, do you guys this Paul George.

380
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: This was the greatest moment of his career when he

381
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: was on the Pacers facing Lebron's heat in the playoffs

382
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: and he took Lebron off the dribble with the left

383
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: and then posterized Birdman Anderson. Marv Albert was on the call.

384
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: Go look it up on YouTube. It is a sick

385
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: play and you're like, oh my gosh. And that was

386
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 2: like the height of Paul George's I know he was

387
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: good in OKAC, but that was the best Paul George.

388
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: Like he was good at with the Clippers, but this is,

389
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: you know, a thirty four year old Paul Georgian. Now

390
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: it turns thirty five in May. I don't see what

391
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: the market is. I'm just telling you, I don't know

392
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: what the Sixers do. Man, they are kind of sort

393
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: of screwed. It just it's getting ugly. My knicks are

394
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: doing fine. The Detroit Pistons are like have a better

395
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: record than the Phoenix Suns. Like, is that something you

396
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: can wrap your head around? The Pistons. I think they

397
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: already eclipsed their win total for the season and they're

398
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: still like twenty five games left. The Pistons Kate Cunningham

399
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind, and I know nobody really cares,

400
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: but I'm into you know, you guys know I love hoops.

401
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: I went to the gym and lifted and then I

402
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: played pick up for a little bit. And this older

403
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: guys whose son played point guard USC and he's like, dude,

404
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: what are you playing five days a week now? How's

405
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 2: your body holding up? But I'm like, it's not, it's

406
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: just not. I just want to stay active and try

407
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: to and I just love basketball.

408
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: It's just so fun.

409
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: We got a big game Thursday night. I'm not feeling

410
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 2: good about it. We got some guys out, you know,

411
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: we're in the mix.

412
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: But for.

413
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: Probably the first time in a couple of years, we're

414
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: not I don't think we're the best team on paper.

415
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: There is another team that's really good, the team that

416
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: came back and stunned us in the championship. They added

417
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: a guy who played at San Francisco, and they added

418
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: a guy who played at Sienna. I mean, older guys

419
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: are like, I'm thirty and under, and it's like we're

420
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: all in our forties. Like it's tough. I mean, we

421
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: have a couple of young guys. I'm prattling on now,

422
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: but yeah, basically, NBA All Star Weekend is this weekend.

423
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: I don't. This is how strange it is. I don't

424
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 2: even know who's in the freaking dunk contest.

425
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't.

426
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, the Pro Bowl. I saw a

427
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: video on Instagram about how the NFL Pro Bowl used

428
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: to have like hard hits and like people actually playing,

429
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: and now it's flag football. I didn't even know that.

430
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't watch the Pro Bowl. I haven't seen any highlights,

431
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: and like All Star Weekend has a total new format.

432
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's going down, guys. Honestly, apparently

433
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: there's is there three teams or is there four a

434
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: tournament style event? Okay, four teams of eight players each,

435
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: and I guess they. I don't know. Shaq has a team,

436
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: Barkley has a team, Kenny Smith has a team, and

437
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: I guess there's another team. I don't. I just don't

438
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: know what's going on. What I do know is another

439
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 2: year goes by that your boy did not get invited

440
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: to the Celebrity All Star Game. Obviously, I'm not a celebrity,

441
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: but I would. I would love to one day play

442
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: in one of those games, just to see what I've got.

443
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: And I'm older, you know. Could I guard Justin Bieber?

444
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: Of course?

445
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: Obviously? Could I guard Kevin Hart? No? Could I post

446
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: up Kevin Hart?

447
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: Of course?

448
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: Like I just would love a chance to play. Is

449
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: that me lobbying now, I'll I When I'm ready to lobby,

450
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: I'll officially lobby. We'll wrap up today's pod with big

451
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: news for the Lakers. They signed free agent center Alex Lynn.

452
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 2: Anybody know who that is? Yes, of course he went

453
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: to Maryland. I liked him coming out. I don't know,

454
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: not much of a rim protector. He played sparingly for

455
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: the Kings this year. Journeyman is that friendly. They ended

456
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: up waving christian Wood. All these people were excited christian

457
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: Wood were united with Luca. Didn't even happen. Lakers dumped him.

458
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: He had off season knee surgery and has yet to

459
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: play for the Lakers this season. But that's a bumber

460
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: if you're christian Wood. Damn, they're stacked. I'm almost ready, guys. Sorry,

461
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: we're going with the center. I'm not going to get

462
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: into the Hornets disputing the Mark Williams physical situation. They're

463
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: arguing that something the Lakers nixed the trade, and it

464
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: doesn't add up because Mark Williams is kind of sort

465
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: of healthy, even though he's barely playing. So I don't

466
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: know how ugly that's gonna get. But it sounds like

467
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: the Hornets want that draft pick. They want Dalton Connect.

468
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: We'll see if Connect suits up tonight for the Lakers

469
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: against the Jazz. I think it's a pretty telling sign

470
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: that that's over, but I would say there's a world

471
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: where it's not totally over for that trade. All right,

472
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: We're back tomorrow. Talk to you then.
