00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome in Side Hour too, The Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon. Oklahoma City leads the

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: Tea Wolves by fifteen five and a half left to

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: go in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City looking to take

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: a two games to none lead in the Western Conference Finals.

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: It has been an absolutely huge night for SGA. Who again,

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: why did I pick the thunder to win? Why did

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: I pick the beginning of the playoffs?

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: What have I said?

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I know he is going to consistently give me super

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: star performances, even when he has difficulty get into the

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: rim getting a shot off, and tonight he's doing it

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: from the free throw line, He's doing it from the floor.

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: Thirty four points and six assists. Timberl's making a little

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: bit of a run right here to start the fourth quarter,

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: but it is still a fifteen point lead for the Thunder.

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: As I get to this reality, Mike Harmon and this

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: is what okay, again, not great today after last night.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Not great yet. It's still not great. Man's still not great.

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: But you know, you watch the Thunder play and they

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: have been the one big seed team so far to

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: watch where you say, yeah, they've had really no difficulty,

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Like they win seven games with the Nuggets, but they

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: win the series.

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: I mean, look with.

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Jokich and and and Murray, you're gonna have a chance.

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: But they win that series. They do what they're supposed

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: to do and they win a blowout in Game seven

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: at home. You watch the Thunder play and you watch

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: what they're doing to the to the Minnesota Tea Wolves

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: tonight and what they've done so far. And I look

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: at the teams left in the playoffs, the Wolves, the Knicks,

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: and the Pacers, right, and you watch all three of

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: them play and you can see, yes, they're all te light.

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: The Knicks are really good. They got holes. Pacers really good,

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: they got holes. I don't know that there's a team

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: that can give the Thunder a series, right, like I

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: don't know if Minnesota can give them a series. I

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: don't know if the Knicks or the Pacers can give

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: them a series in the NBA Finals. I don't know

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: that this is gonna wind up being a Thunder sweep

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: and then a Thunder sweep in the finals, because they're

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: just that good. The team they've assembled is in a

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: perfect spot. You're talking about all defensive players of the

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: year in the starting line at the big free agent

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: signing that really brings the glue to the team, like Hartenstein,

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: the young studs of Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren who

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: are on big rookie deals and yet they go for

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: twenty to ten every single night. Caruso off the bench,

58
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: who's still Laker fans won Alex Caruso back. Like Laker

59
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: fans think if we had Caruso the last five years,

60
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: we'd have four championships, right. Caruso is that guy? Like

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Thunder have an doubly well constructed roster.

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: When it comes to money, they're spending youth, experience, all

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: the first round picks they still have at their disposal

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: to make this team better.

65
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: Like they are in such a sweet spot, right now.

66
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. This year, I don't know.

67
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: Is there someone that can really give them a series

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: that's going to be a really difficult thing.

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 4: Spurtability, Can you run with them? Can you make the

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: shots and go possession for possession. Minnesota's tried, and all

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 4: they've done is shoot themselves out of games, right back

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: to back games where you saw the third quarter where

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: things just went out of sorts. Okay, see plus fourteen

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: back to back games and you just had a sequence,

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe about midway through the fourth here

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 4: where you just had the reach as SGA went for

77
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: the drive McDaniels with a little bit of extra and

78
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: in the broadcast had that moment where I was able

79
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: to turn up the audio. What are they saying, because

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: you're eating the clothes captioning, it's like hit the rewind.

81
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: He just said something controversial, guys, showing the mental weakness

82
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: and then pause goes, but this is not a mentally

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: weak Minnesota team.

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: It's like you just said it.

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: You put it out there that he had the moment,

86
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: and that's what the constant pressure from OKC will do.

87
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: And the way Gildas Alexander is playing and we talked

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: about it as the season wore on a lot of

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 4: what people complained about with James Harden years ago in

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: terms of slowing down the game. Right when you think

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: defensively you're starting to figure things out, he's able to

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: create and get himself back to the foul line. So

93
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 4: any momentum, any bit of advantage you started to think

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 4: you had in terms of your defensive calls and switch

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: outs just got rendered moot because he was back at

96
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: the line, staring at you and shooting another couple of

97
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: free throws. And for Gildas Alexander, every time you get

98
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: a stop Minnesota, well the next possession, SGA is right

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: back and attacking, and you're getting guys trying to move

100
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: their feet, trying to stay with and he's good at

101
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: getting his body underneath you and into you. Uh, and

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: just that extra bit of contact it either takes you

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: out of defensive position where he finds an open teammate,

104
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: or he's back at the file line or getting a

105
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 4: continuation call, which again I don't think Magic Johnson got

106
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: the continuation calls that SGA gets at times. But all

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: that to say, they've been relentless and Minnesota's had absolutely

108
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: no answer, and your guy, Julius Randall's on the side

109
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: of a milk carton.

110
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Well, coo, I'm telling you man, he's really struggling with

111
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: the Knicks loss.

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: Last night.

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: I gave him a pass tonight he was great. Then

114
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: watch what happened to the Knicks Now he's maybe maybe

115
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: it affects everybody.

116
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he should have taken the holiday. Then he's the

117
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: guy should have just tapped out. See if they could

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: have found something off the bench.

119
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: Listen, here's the here's here's the x NIX right to

120
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: tell you that.

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Well to the Knicks a little bit.

122
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Uh. Julius Rydal tonight after after a first half of

123
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: Game one in which he hit five threes and kept

124
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: the Tea Wolves in it. He's got six points tonight,

125
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: two out of eleven from the floor. Dante DiVincenzo off

126
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the bench tonight is minus twenty seven for the t

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: Wolves the two. See, I'm telling you, man, this Knicks

128
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: loss is affecting a lot of people.

129
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: It's not just me. It's not just me.

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: They woke up today going I really this is a

131
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: bad day. Bad day, man, bad day.

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: Three of eight from the field for Devincenzo eight points,

133
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: three rebounds, three assists.

134
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: He's been poor.

135
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look, even Hartenstein tonight. Have everybody who's been

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: in the game for the Thunder, he has the fewest points,

137
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: all right, I mean that's it's really I'll tell you

138
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: that it's really. It's affecting everyone. Mike Well, he's only

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: taking five.

140
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: Shots though, I mean in his defense, the other guys

141
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: have more than done their job. When you're looking at

142
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 4: twenty from Chet, twenty three from Williams, who's been fantastic,

143
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: and then obviously shake Gilders Alexander with his thirty four,

144
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: they haven't even needed a whole lot from the bench.

145
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 4: Seventeen points between Crusoe and Wallace. But once again, Cruz

146
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 4: is also the guy that you know bodies up on

147
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: defense and he'll take you out of your game because

148
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 4: he's he's an agitator, right, It's a different type of

149
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: agitator than we're used to in the NBA. It's like,

150
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: how am I getting checked by this guy? Damn it.

151
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: It's a twelve point lead for the Thunder one nine

152
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: ninety seven with two and a half left to go. Gee,

153
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: let's see if the Thunder canel the twelve point lead

154
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: with two and a half minutes left to go.

155
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: Let's see if that happens. Let's see if we can

156
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: do Let's see it. Let's see if history repeats itself. Mike,

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: Let's see we see that.

158
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: Take a deep breath, pal take a deep breath, because

159
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: you know what, the only time that's gonna matter is tomorrow.

160
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: Like if the if OKC were to give this lead ups,

161
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: like see the wolves scare you know, ready, they were

162
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: ready for the test.

163
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: They're ready, prepared.

164
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: No, no, no, you don't get the back of the fish

165
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: racked the same way that you did yesterday.

166
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 3: And how quickly were those headlines written?

167
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: I think about a I don't know, maybe about a

168
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: half a minute after the final buzzer.

169
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Now, meanwhile, as as this is going on here again,

170
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: freshly minted NBA MVP Shay Gilders Alexander having a big

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: night the first game after being named MVP.

172
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: We told you this two nights ago. We said, well,

173
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: welcome to the media.

174
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Mike Malone, former Denver Nuggets head coach who is now

175
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: working for ESPN. During the finals, was asked about his

176
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: opinion of Shae Gilders Alexander's performance of game, my opinion

177
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: of his performance with the guy out there, and he said, well,

178
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: that's why he's.

179
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: The MVP of the league.

180
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: And he went on to talk about great things about

181
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: Shay Gilders Alexander Okay, great accept except that we played

182
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: it back for you about six weeks ago in a

183
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: postgame press conference.

184
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: This is when he was still head coach of the Nuggets.

185
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, Nikola Jokich is the MVP ten times

186
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: out of ten. If you don't believe that, I don't

187
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: know what else I can blank and tell you what

188
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: he does. Jokich is the MVP. But now what change

189
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: from Mike Malone and the last Oh that's right, he

190
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: got fired by the Nuggets.

191
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: At the time, we said, yes, okay, here it is.

192
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: This is him getting a little bit of pushback, but

193
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: a lot of this is welcome to the media because

194
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't understand you how he's gonna have people who think, oh,

195
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: I could do this job. I could just say, yet,

196
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: it's a little more difficult than you think. When you

197
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: say things, people remember what you said, people hold you

198
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: to it. I could pick a game wrong in college

199
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: football and a million people want to jump up and

200
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: down at me. Oh, you don't watch he was going

201
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: to beat Oregon in the PAC twelve Championship game last year.

202
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: Jason, you're stupid.

203
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, but he understands now because he got a

204
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: lot of heat. We said it was coming, and yeah,

205
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: the last few days, Mike Malone has been Wait a minute,

206
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: you said Jokic was the MVP.

207
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: Now he's not. Are you mad because you got fired?

208
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: What is it? Well?

209
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: Malone today cleared the air, as we said, he's going

210
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: to have to. He's going to say, I don't like this.

211
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't like people calling me. I don't like being this.

212
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to clear the air and make sense of

213
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: what I said on ESPN before game two today he

214
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: said this quote asked about Hey, you know you picked

215
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Jay Gilders, Alexander's the MVP.

216
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: He won MVP.

217
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I did vote for him again this

218
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: year if I had a vote talking about Nikola Jokic.

219
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: Want to make sure that people in Denver know that,

220
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: because right now I'm getting a lot of heat back home.

221
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: So I did vote for him again this year if

222
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: I had a vote.

223
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: So wait, what does that mean? Like, does he not

224
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: know if he had a vote?

225
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know if I'm voting, but I don't

226
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: know if I have a vote, if I had a Like,

227
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: does he mean if I had a vote, i'd have

228
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: voted for him. But it sounds like he voted for him,

229
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: but he's not sure if he actually has a vote,

230
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know. If he just filled out some

231
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: sort of ballot a paper at home and then mailed

232
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: it in and said, I'll send this to the NBA.

233
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they accept my vote, maybe not like like a

234
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: provisional ballot cat. Maybe they'll count in the election, maybe

235
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: they won't. I don't know. So I did vote for

236
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: him again this year if I had a vote, I'm

237
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: getting a lot of heat back home. Yeah, welcome to

238
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: the media, Mike Malone. And when you say stuff like

239
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I did vote from again, if I had a vote,

240
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I just sit here and go You're not cut out

241
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: for this, man, You're not cut out. Go back to coaching,

242
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: get back in. You did this. This is not your thing, man,

243
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: This is not your thing.

244
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: Do you think he was being cute and doing a

245
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: parody version of the Lyle Love at nineteen eighty eight

246
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: classic If I had.

247
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: A boat, If I had a boat, if I'd go

248
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: out on the ocean.

249
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: If I knew that song, I would say yeah, And

250
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: if I had a pony, I'd ride him on that boat.

251
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: I think the only Lile love It song I know

252
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: is private conversation. That's That's the only one. I know.

253
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: I love value.

254
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Because he was engaged at Julia Roberts for like eight

255
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: seconds in nineteen ninety, which is like we need thirty

256
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: for thirty on that, like the Julia Roberts Lyle love

257
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: and engagement, like need we need something on that?

258
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: And the time that he was randomly on King of

259
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: the Hill and he goes quiet rooster boy.

260
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really think there's a sweet spot for that.

261
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

262
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: No, I remember that now. It was thirty something years

263
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: ago and nineties nostalgia is in. So yeah, I want

264
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: to understand all that. I want to get what that

265
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: was all about. I really want to do. Yeah, we

266
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: have enough attention now on Jordan Hudson and Bill Belichick.

267
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Why not have the Lyle Love It thing? How great

268
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: is the Pete Futech line? Though, wouldn't it be funny

269
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: if because of that schedule, because they've sold out their

270
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: season ticket a lot, and then after raising prices twenty

271
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: five percent all of that, and then all of a

272
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: sudden they're fighting for a playoff spot like shut you

273
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: all up.

274
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: Didn't not?

275
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: He comes walking in like he's Rick Flair or Baby

276
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: Billy off of the Righteous Gemstones, like see see I got.

277
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: You exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing down The

278
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Jason Smith Show with Mike Carbon Live from the Fox

279
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. I mean, I mean, I I I

280
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: look at this series, and I look at what's going

281
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: on with the with the Thunder and the Tea Wolves

282
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: to bring it back to that here, and it's just

283
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: I really, I mean, they they are. This is their

284
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: time because it always gonna be this way for Oklahoma City.

285
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Probably not, but you see this moment in time, and

286
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know a team that can

287
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: really give them a run. Like if Minnesota gets a

288
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: game in this series, I think that's an accomplishment at

289
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: this point because this is two blowouts now, you know

290
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: Game one, in Game two, Minnesota is going back home.

291
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: Try to figure out how do we stop them. We can't,

292
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, we can't stop them, can't. We can't slow

293
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: them down, even when it looks like we're playing well,

294
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: in the first half, things get sideways on us incredibly quickly,

295
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we're chasing a twenty point

296
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: lead in the third quarter, like they get out in

297
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: the third sometimes like the Warriors would in their heyday,

298
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: where suddenly they're losing fifty four to forty six at halftime,

299
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: and then three minutes into the third quarter it's seventy

300
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: eight to fifty. You know, it's like, how did this

301
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: happen to us? Like that's kind of what the Oklahoma

302
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: City Thunder do. They play any kind of ball they

303
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: want to. They're aggressive, they get out fast, they run

304
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: the court, they play great defense. Below It's like this

305
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: is a moment in time for them where this is

306
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: almost a perfect roster configuration with talent, youth experience, what

307
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: they're paying the future ahead of them with all the

308
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: first round picks they have, Like this is the model

309
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: France right now in the NBA.

310
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're set for years, right.

311
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: Shay is just getting into the the sweet spot of

312
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: his career. Chet Holmgrun's healthy and you see what he is.

313
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: He's a nightmare on both ends of the court. And

314
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: to your point, right, the spurt ability of it you've

315
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: seen it back to back the third quarters. But but

316
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: each of these games, right, you take a bad shot,

317
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: they're not they're not complacent. They're gonna keep pushing the envelope,

318
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: pushing the pace and making you work and off you

319
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: can't rest. I mean, you get no breaks whatsoever. Of

320
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: all right, we're gonna get into a defensive set. No,

321
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: you've got to go try to cover these guys as

322
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: they're pushing the ball up the court and SGA with

323
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: that little rock step gets into attack mode, and you've

324
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: got problems in five straight playoff games. Over thirty at

325
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: thirty seven, as we're watching this, into the final minute,

326
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: back to the free throw line once again to extend

327
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 4: the lead. So it's the for Minnesota. I guess you

328
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: take some solace. You'll be at in front of your

329
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 4: home crowd. And maybe Edwards is at the free throw

330
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: on a bunch, but today he was aggressive.

331
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: That didn't solve anything.

332
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: Right, Randall was invisible, and no matter what you tried

333
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: to slow things down, the barrage came. And now it's

334
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: just a matter of dribbling it out.

335
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: Exit out by the Fresco exit Swallen' Dome. Final thirty seconds.

336
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: It's a fifteen point burial for the thunder who are

337
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: gonna take a two games to none lead over the

338
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

339
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: We'll have more NBA on the way.

340
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: We have a big story out of basketball where you

341
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: thought one rivalry was about to just take over the sport.

342
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: Maybe not.

343
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: Plus big stuff in the NFL following the big changes

344
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: from a day ago to this coming season in the league.

345
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

346
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: Forty five is a big number. Pedro Martinez was throwing

347
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: no hitters and hitting guys at the same time. Wear

348
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: a number forty five. I think the Knicks could lose

349
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: by forty five tomorrow night to the Pacers. It feels

350
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: like the thunder A gonna win every game by forty five.

351
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Forty five also the threshold that Mike and I have

352
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: upon us. Each of us are right at that cusp

353
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: of losing forty five pounds so far thanks to PhD

354
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: weight loss. Even heard us talking about it for the

355
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: last few months. It has changed our lives since the

00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. It can change your life too.

418
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: equipment managers across the country a few years ago. I

419
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,640

00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: So were?

421
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: They were noticed, and they all work together and they

422
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: sell clothing that players who have transferred or graduated, uh,

423
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: left behind, and the equipment managers split the money in

424
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: some way with the players who leaves the who leave

425
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: the gear behind, and it's all great.

00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: something from Michigan.

544
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: Now, the big controversy with what we've seen so far,

545
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: the w NBA has centered around the relationship between Caitlin

546
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: Clark and Angel Reese on display the Big Foul last weekend,

547
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: and and I agree with a lot of the pundit

548
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: to say, we'd like this to be you know that, say, hey, listen,

549
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: we need it to be about basketball, because I told

550
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: you that from the beginning. You can't have a rivalry

551
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: about race about race, right, because that's what's happening with

552
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: with Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. It's becoming about race.

553
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: This whole investigation to a fan may or may not

554
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: have said something on the sideline, which, okay, we get

555
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: all these things about condemning hate and condemning racist speech,

556
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: and Angel Reese condemns it and then reposts a post

557
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: from TikTok where someone says something, you know, it says

558
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: the I'll look at the white girl Caitlin Clark running

559
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: away from Angel Reese. Okay, great, yeah, it's working. Yeah,

560
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: make sure we can't have it. And the Angel rees

561
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: goes and posts that.

562
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: Right.

563
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: So it's like, Okay, the WNBA needs to get away

564
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: from this, right, But I don't know how. When when

565
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: it seems like it's not something that is it's conducive

566
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: to happening, right, it seems like it's still going to

567
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: can continue on. But this is a conversation we can

568
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: have strictly about the basketball court, right, about the rivalry

569
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: between the Fever and the Sky because let's be honest, right,

570
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: the WNBA is here, it matters.

571
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: They have a seat at the.

572
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: Big table, and all we've talked about is hey be

573
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: able to handle success, right, But they're here, and the

574
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark Angel Reese rivalry is something people get caught

575
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: up in the popularity.

576
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 3: If Caitlin Clark is through the roof, right, we know this,

577
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: not telling you anything you don't know.

578
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: But something is more special when the Fever play the

579
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: Sky right there there just is that they'll always be

580
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: linked from college basketball, from the national championship, from Angel

581
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: Rees doing the ring thing and then Caitlin like they're

582
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna be linked. There's always gonna be a big deal.

583
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: But on the court, let's stay on the court because

584
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: we can. I don't know that this is the year

585
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: that that rivalry is going to be great on the court,

586
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: because my goodness, the Chicago Sky absolutely are struggling. So

587
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: much out of the gate. They lose their first game

588
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: to Indiana on Saturday ninety three, fifty eight right National TV.

589
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Three and a half million people watch. More people are

590
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: watching NBA games over the course of the last week.

591
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: Like that's how big it is, right, we say, see

592
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: it at the table. So Indiana just absolutely drubbed Chicago. Right,

593
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: Chicago has no Kennedy Carter. You know they wanted to

594
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: try to fix the locker room. They fight Treuth what

595
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: treesa weatherspoon and they lose by thirty, right, and you

596
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: heard them say this is not going to define our season.

597
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: They play the Liberty and Liberty are really good, obviously

598
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: defending champs, and they're losing by twenty two and a

599
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: half time, and they lose by twenty five tonight. They

600
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: have now lost their first two games by over thirty

601
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: and twenty five, and they are struggling so much. I mean,

602
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: all you have to do is watch the highlight tonight

603
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: of angel Reaess and you think I'm lying, I'm not.

604
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: On one sequence five offensive rebounds and then she gets

605
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: blocked twice and misses two shots before she passes out.

606
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Right for all this last year, oh, she offensive rebounds

607
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: all her own shots. No she doesn't, No, she doesn't,

608
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: and she doesn't but no, but I'm telling you this

609
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: absolutely happened tonight. You watch on one sequence, she gets

610
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: five offensive rebounds, and she goes up and gets blocked twice,

611
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: and she misses two short shots twice when she's playing

612
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: one on three. Hey, when you get that rebound, you

613
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: miss a shot, turn around, get it back out right.

614
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: You got three players around you understand. But instead five

615
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds on one play, four misses and finaland I'm

616
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: passing it out. That play stands for the Chicago Sky

617
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: and really Angel reas you know, so far, for this

618
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: part of the season, Chicago did not make changes that

619
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: made themselves a lot better this year, you know, you know,

620
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: bringing in Courtney van der Slut.

621
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: Okay, they went defensive.

622
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: On some of their moves, but wow, you got to

623
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: be able to score the name and that's whye. But

624
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: that's why every bucket is worth two points and not one. Right,

625
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: Like like the Chicago Sky looks so far like well,

626
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, man on the court, four more games

627
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: against the Fever, are they gonna want to take those

628
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: away and say, listen, we're gonna put another game on

629
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: Because as much as people want to see the Fever

630
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: in the Sky, you know, thirty points, you know that's

631
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: people don't want to see. He showed something a little

632
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: bit more competitive. I don't know that that on the court.

633
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: Rivalry for the Fever and the Sky is going to be.

634
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: There this year.

635
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 4: No, no, no, this is where you find I mean

636
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: we've watched it twice this week. Fever and the Dream,

637
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 4: Fever Dream eighty one seventy six, your final in that

638
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: one today, Caitlin Clark had one hundred and forty game

639
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: streak snapped with at least one three pointer as she

640
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: goes over from distance, oh for five one hundred and

641
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 4: forty straight games. Curious as to what that would if

642
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 4: you took one hundred dollars bet and just let it ride.

643
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: You'd be back to zero today. But all of that

644
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: to say, double it. I'm gonna keep doubling it. A

645
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: going to double it, double it, doubles. She'll never go

646
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: without a three.

647
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 4: No, she did without a make, but you get twenty

648
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 4: six from Howard and you get the job done.

649
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: Eighty one seventy six. Fantastic game that one was.

650
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: And this is one of the things right is the WNBA.

651
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 4: You've got games all over the place. Ion Today's was

652
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: on Amazon Prime. So then you get the networks like

653
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: it is one of those things you really need, like

654
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: a pocket schedule, like you'd get before the baseball season

655
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 4: when you'd go to a hardware store to know where

656
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: the hell you're supposed to watch things. Wait, actually the

657
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: NFL is doing the same thing. So what am I

658
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: talking about? But go back to the sky. I mean, offensively,

659
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 4: they were awful. Thirty three points from their starters, forty

660
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: one off the bench, Van lift came in, gave them

661
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes.

662
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: She was zero for four from the field. Angel rees to.

663
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: Your point, two points scored, twelve boards, oh for eight

664
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: from the field, and no juice whatsoever in terms of

665
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: trying to find a stopper. And yes, they played a

666
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: much better team defending champ and you look at their

667
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: depth there. They're gonna be a fun squad to watch

668
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 4: as you roll through and hopefully eventually you get the

669
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: battles with the fever that get that that same notoriety,

670
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: uh and and and substance to the media coverage, because right.

671
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: Now, I mean, it's just the low hanging.

672
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: Fruit for folks like the The old strategy for us

673
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: Jason has always been can't fall the good strategy. I

674
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: hate that leaning into the racial divide on this has

675
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: put food on the table for a bunch of these

676
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 4: folks because it continues to right, because that's that's where

677
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: you lean into that story for some folks. I actually

678
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 4: like talking about the basketball where we can we can

679
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 4: talk miss layups, we could talk about sequencing whatever. But

680
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: in this case, yeah, we're not getting a rivalry on

681
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: the court because it doesn't exist. And Angel recent spots

682
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: in that first game, you know, dribbling the ball up

683
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: and you see some of the work being done that

684
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 4: it looks a little smoother, but the results aren't there.

685
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: And this team is bad. Even with all the changes

686
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: they tried to make, coaching changes you as you alluded to,

687
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 4: right now, they're just getting buried and falling further and

688
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 4: further behind.

689
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: Again.

690
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: Your bench outscores your starters forty one to thirty three.

691
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: This is like when I used to watch Nick Celtics

692
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: games in the eighties. Oh in a great rivalry final

693
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: score Celtics won sixteen, Nick seventy nine.

694
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: That was every game.

695
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: What a rivalry and it was exciting until they tipped

696
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: the ball off and then that's not happening anymore.

697
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: Memory and history and all of those kind of things. Hey,

698
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 4: let's go and rewind. That's all find and good.

699
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: But Larry Bird, you're checking out of the game for

700
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: good at the eight minute mark of the third quarter.

701
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: So it will be a night of rest for Larry Legend.

702
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: Timey sting, she stings for the Celtics. Time now to

703
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.

704
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: So someone who's been called the Caitlin Clark of Fox

705
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: Sports Radio because she didn't hit a three tonight either,

706
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: it's Monte Belagyos.

707
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 6: I did not hit a three tonight, but I have

708
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 6: been called the Caitlin Clark of Fox Sports Radio by

709
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 6: a listener.

710
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: So Heyley, I have Oh I know, I.

711
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 6: Know, so sweet, but yes, I did not hit a

712
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 6: three today unfortunately.

713
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys were talking about.

714
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 6: There were two WNBA games, a Fever topping the Dream

715
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 6: eighty one to seventy six and also the Liberty Cruising

716
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 6: Pass the Sky ninety nine to seventy seven. We'll check

717
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 6: in on the NBA though, Game two of the Western

718
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 6: Conference semi Finals Oklahoma City Thunder seems like they made

719
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 6: just roll with it. They took down that Zimmerwolves one

720
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 6: eighteen to one oh three. It was really the third

721
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 6: quarter that's the big difference maker here, where OKC outscored

722
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 6: Minnesota thirty five to twenty one, and it just was

723
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 6: too much for Minnesota to try and come back from,

724
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 6: even though they did outscore them in the fourth quarter.

725
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 6: Shae Gilges Alexander was awarded the MVP Trophy before the

726
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 6: game and then played like an MVP. Ended with thirty

727
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 6: eight points. He was twelve of twenty one from the field,

728
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 6: only took two threes, and was one of two thirteen

729
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 6: to fifteen from the free throw line. Also had eight assists,

730
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 6: while Jalen Williams helped out with twenty six points. Chet

731
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 6: Holmgren had twenty two.

732
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: Points from Minnesota.

733
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 6: Anthony Edwards twelve of twenty six from the field, one

734
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 6: of nine from the three, and seven of ten from

735
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 6: the free throw line. Ended with thirty two points, nine rebounds,

736
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 6: and six assists. Julius Randall struggled. He was two of eleven,

737
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: zero of three from the three, and ended with six

738
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 6: points in the loss. This was game two, so now

739
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 6: okac leads the series to zero. But Game one of

740
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 6: the Pacers Nicks, I know you don't want to talk

741
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 6: about it, but it averaged six point six million viewers,

742
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 6: the most watched Eastern Conference Final Game one since the

743
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 6: Celtics and the Cavaliers squared off in twenty eighteen. In

744
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 6: the NHL playoffs, continue.

745
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: I know that I don't think people got we didn't

746
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: know that.

747
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

748
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: Three points shot right there.

749
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 6: In the NHL Playoffs, the Game two of the East

750
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 6: Final between the Panthers and the Hurricanes, Florida scored within

751
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 6: one minute and seventeen seconds and never looked back, shutting

752
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 6: out the Hurricanes five to zero. So Florida now leads

753
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,479
Speaker 6: the series to zero.

754
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 3: In baseball, the.

755
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 6: Brewers, after a rain delay, held on defeating the Pirates

756
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 6: in Pittsburgh eight to five. The Nationals did walk it

757
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 6: off against the Braves eight to seven on an RBI

758
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 6: single from Ahmed Rosadio, and the Braves announced that Ronald

759
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 6: the Kuna Junior is going to be activated tomorrow from

760
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 6: that injury list after that ACL injury he sustained last season.

761
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 6: Jose Alduve homer twice and the Astros defeated the Mariners

762
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 6: nine to two. The Angels have won seven in a row.

763
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 6: They took down the A ten to five Taylor Ward

764
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 6: with the Grand Slam. The Philly shut out the Rockies

765
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 6: to zero. Rockies are never gonna win again. The Blue

766
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 6: Jays beat the Padre seven to six and eleven innings,

767
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 6: and San Diego has lost six in a row. And

768
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 6: the Yankees defeated the Rangers one zero was the final score.

769
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 6: Are there and I'm sure you heard it, but the

770
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 6: current college football playoff format, it's going to change for

771
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty five season. The top four schools in

772
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 6: the rankings will earn the top four seeds and first

773
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 6: round buys in.

774
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: Straight seeding format.

775
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 6: So not like it was this past year, the four

776
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 6: highest ranked conference champions we're given the top four seeds

777
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 6: and buys. That's not going to happen for the upcoming season.

778

Speaker 6: Back to you, guys, thanks a.

779
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 3: Bunch of minds.

00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: We'll have more on those huge changes for the college

781
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: football Playoff coming up in about twenty minutes, because boy,

782
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: they solved one big issue. Now they got one other

783
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: big one to solve. But coming up next, the NFL

784
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours needs to realize they

785
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: have absolutely taken the wrong angle on a very big story.

786
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 3: What is it?

787
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: We'll tell you next, Jason, Mike, Fox Sports Radio, h

Speaker 1: ty shirt now finding all words and say the end

789
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: in them. Well, at least that means we're going to

790
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: get the end by Wolfgang van Ailen coming up next hour.

791
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure could be.

792
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,480

Speaker 1: Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show, My best Friend Mike Harmon.

796
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: They're sorry, Jason.

797
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: I know. I'm sorry too. I'm sorry too. They had

798
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: a good run, still not great, Bob, not great. The

799
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: day after not great, not great. But we have more

800
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: NBA coming up in a few minutes. But the after

801
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: effects the last twenty four hours since the NFL announced

802
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: a lot of big changes coming to the league this year, right,

803
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: and the biggest one has been the Tush push lives Right. Yeah,

804
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: a bit a bit overrated story, Like I think that

805
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: this became got too much attention for what it is.

806
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: It nearly passes to be banned, but it falls just

807
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: short of twenty two to ten. Today already the Eagles

808
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: have been selling push on t shirts, which is just

809
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: a T shirt with a video of Hurts about to

810
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: take the snap in the tush push formation. Apparently Gritty

811
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: Gritty is running the Eagle social media account.

812
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: Now, hey, just got it all right here, Gritty's doing it.

813
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 3: Gritty's got it. Yeah.

814
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 4: But they had a billboard up in Philadelphia like eight

815
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: minutes after the vote came. Now, oh yeah, but doesn't

816
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 4: it feel like, you know, there's so much attention to

817
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: being paid to this one, which is nothing Burger that

818
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 4: it's like a bill going through Congress, like, well, obviously

819
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 4: you should put a stop sign there, and then in

820
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 4: line like two point fifty two, there's some other thing

821
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 4: that gets approved in the process.

822
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: Like what are they trying to sneak in?

823
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 4: What's the thing that's gonna kill us all that's getting

824
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 4: sneaked into the bill?

825
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what's what's killing them all?

826
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: Because you bring up, you bring up the point with

827
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: all of this is that, yes, is it. It's a

828
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: little bit overrated for a play that, yes, two years ago,

829
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: almost unstoppable, a little bit less unstopped bull this year.

830
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: Just ask the Bills and Josh Allen, who ran it

831
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: really well, what happened? You need that first down against

832
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I mean, I know the official came from

833
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: the chief sideline to overrule it, but I mean it's

834
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: not absolutely unstoppable. It's a play that needs fourth and

835
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: one or less to to to execute. I get you're

836
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: mad about it, but you know, as you just said,

837
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: Philadelphi's already got custom gear on it. There were uh

838
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: billboards up about it right after the decision came down.

839
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: They get to keep it. Jeffrey Lourie said in the

840
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: in the meeting yesterday with the owners, it's it's a

841
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you had a bad analogy, but he said,

842
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: it's it's either we get this band because it's too good,

843
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: or we get to continue to run a play that

844
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: we invented. That that that is changing the NFL. What

845
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: the NFL and what teams that don't that that don't

846
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: want the tush push don't realize and they need to,

847
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: is that all winning teams have that little special something

848
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: about them that galvanizes them.

849
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 3: Right.

850
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: Look back last year the Mets had Grimace and OMG,

851
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: Now was that a really big deal?

852
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: No, but it was it was something.

853
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: Outside of the white lines that Hey, everybody on the

854
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: team can buy into and everybody feels like it's us

855
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: against them.

856
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 3: Right, it's a great thing.

857
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: Every every winning team has their thing, right, Like when

858
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: your White Sox won, they play don't stop believing right

859
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 1: in the in the co op, after every single after

860
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: every single win. In the locker room. Steve Perry was

861
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: singing with them when they won the World Series, Like,

862
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: all teams have their thing. The NFL leave the Toush

863
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: push alone, because you are galvanizing the Eagles into making

864
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: this their identity and you need anything spurs them on. Hey,

865
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: they hate us, they hate the Toush Push. They're rallying

866
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: around this and it's making them stronger. All good teams

867
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: have that thing. The NFL just let it go, Just

868
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: let it go, let them run it, stop it on

869
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: the field, whatever happens that let it go. Man, it's

870
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: not that big a play. It's not like on third

871
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: and three they can convert all the time.

872
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: But you are.

873
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: You are empowering the Eagles, You're empowering the fan base,

874
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: everything around the team. You're making it crackle and this

875
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: spurs them on, and it's a thing. That they have,

876
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: that the Eagles have that they're able to use to

877
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: their benefit, and the NFL needs to realize that this

878
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: is what's helping the Eagles along and helping them with

879
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: their excellence. Every little bit you can use is an addition.

880
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: Well, that's just it, right. You got to find find

881
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 4: your wins, find your your motivation. Whatever it might be

882
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 4: a headline someone talking bad about you, just you didn't

883
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 4: like the look someone gave you as you walk down

884
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 4: the street. In this case, they lean into this and

885
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 4: now their merchandise.

886
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 3: Again, Hey, everybody gets paid.

887
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe the rest of the league says, hey, we

888
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 4: want our cut. But all of that to say, are

889
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 4: we going to flag football eventually? Because there's not a

890
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: lot of sexiness in most run plays. So should we

891
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 4: get rid of those two dive into the line. Let's

892
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 4: just do all of it right, half back dive for

893
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 4: a third? You know a third yard gain isn't sexy either,

894
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 4: get it guns at an exit out about a Fresca

895
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 4: exit swollen dumb more on the thund under two oh

896
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 4: leading a big story out of college football.

897
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: Next Fox
