1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Well, there wasn't a ton of live sports today that

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: was making a ton of headlines. But then well the

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: NBA decided they were going to make news even though

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: there was nothing on the court. So I guess we'll

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: be leading with that. That was not in my rundown.

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: But what is in my rundown is no Erin Torres tonight.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: I don't even know why, like I think he told

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: me and I blocked it out. I'm not sure why

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: he is off, but he is off this week. Arnie Spaniard,

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: who used to fill this lot with Aaron Torres, joins

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: me as he usually does when Aaron is out. It

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Saturday, Arnie, listen to you. Yeah, that's

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: not the real Arnie. I actually have heard that sound

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: by so many times in the last few profet you

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: overdid it like.

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 3: I knowed Ruin the magic.

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, he's on the way, he's on. He went

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 4: to like the Boks. I think, Yeah, he got back

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: from vacation today.

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: Man, it must be nice to work that little and

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: still be able to take a vacation to the Bahamas.

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: That's what I said to him too. It barely work.

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 4: He takes vacation all the time, so I'm surprised. I'm

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 4: here for good. You're right, not a lot of stuff

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 4: on the U, you know, on the field, on the

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 4: court and stuff like that. We had a little hockey tonight,

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: but otherwise you had to go out and enjoy the

Speaker 4: sunshine today, you know.

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean pretty much, my brave's lost, and so

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: we won't be speaking any further about that. We are

Speaker 2: seven nine nine six sixty three six nine. So you

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: heard Steve Desager's update at the top of the hour.

45
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: The news broke before they could even get it to

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: him in the bottom of the last And it was

47
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: funny because in my rundown and what I had sent

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: you where we might be going tonight, Arnie, I said,

49
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: is Monty going to survive? Is this going to cost

50
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: Monty Williams' job? I was looking at kind of the

51
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: Suns going forward? Well, we know the answer. Monty Williams

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: going to be dismissed. According to Adrian Wiljanarowski and others

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: one ninety four and one fifteen, his record with the

54
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: Suns over four seasons was Coach of the Year. Last

55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: year the team went sixty four and eighteen. New owner

56
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 2: and an owner that look, he was stealing a ball

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: from Jokich and now he's stolen a job from Monty Williams's.

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: That's pretty much where we are. And look, hey, the

59
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: Bucks lost and coach Bud became your fall guy. The

60
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Suns lose, and I'm not sure they're done right. But

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: the first fall guy is Monty Williams, who I don't

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: think you can find a person to say anything negative

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: about Monty Williams. No, Monny Williams also a guy that

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant loved from his time in Oklahoma City and

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: was it wasn't the prime factor. I think he wanted

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: to go help Chris Paul. But he loved Monty Williams.

67
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: Everybody loved playing for Monty Williams. But when you fail

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: like this, when you don't get the job done, A

69
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: lot of times this happens when you have an owner

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,279
Speaker 2: that Look, he played for Tom Izzo. He has high expectations.

71
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: He's a guy that's worth billions. Now he probably was

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: going to come in and shake things up if it

73
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: didn't work out. It didn't work out, and now Monty

74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: Williams is out your thoughts.

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, first of all, Monty Williams just a truly

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: great guy. He really is class that guy. They don't

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: come any better as a person off the court. So

78
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: let that be said right off the bat, because he

79
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: really is a great guy. Isn't it interesting? Monty Williams

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: and Buddenholz are the both of the coaches were in

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty one finals. Both are no longer with

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: their team. As matter of fact, three of the last

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 4: four coaches of the year have been fired. The only

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: one not to be fired is Steve Kerr, And at

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: first I said, Okay, I guess I understand. You know,

86
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: it was a bad ending for Phoenix, and I'm wondering

87
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: if if it's the way they lost that last game

88
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: when they were down by like thirty so quickly, maybe

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: that left a bad taste in the owner's mouth. Also,

90
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: you have a new owner, and obviously you want to

91
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 4: go in and put things your own way. And then

92
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: I saw a tweet out there where even you repeated

93
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: it at one ninety four, four years but the four

94
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: years before he got there, they were eighty seven and

95
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: two forty one.

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: They were an embarrassment, right.

97
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: So you kind of forget about those times there. Now

98
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: I know they're gonna have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker

99
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: signed up for a long time. They're not gonna bring

100
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 4: back Chris Paul. So they're one guy away, one free

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: agent away, one signing away from being the favorites maybe

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: for next year, and something's got to turn it around.

103
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 4: The Sun's are a popular team in the Valley of

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: the Son Believe me, I know, so, Ma, maybe it's

105
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 4: not a bad move here. I just don't know who's

106
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: gonna go ahead and take over though, yeah.

107
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how much better you're gonna do than

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Monty Williams. I think that's the way I would look

109
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: at it. And that's similar to what you're saying. I mean,

110
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: they had success with him. He could coach stars, and

111
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: he could coach guys that were either gonna become stars

112
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: or guys that were role players. He was able to

113
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: kind of bridge that gap and do it all your

114
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: point about Chris Paul. That's why I'm not favoring the

115
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: Suns next year either, Like I need to see. Yeah, sure,

116
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: we'll see what they do in the offseason, but I

117
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: don't trust that Kevin Durant's gonna be healthy. Let's not

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: forget he only played in eight games at the end

119
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: of the regular season after being acquired by the Suns,

120
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 2: and he's been hurt quite a bit since he really

121
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: started distaining injuries in Golden State. He's had a hard

122
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: time being on the floor. He's getting older, Devin Booker's

123
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: been banged up, Chris Paul, the reason I didn't pick

124
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: Phoenix to come out of the West, it wasn't because

125
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: they didn't have talent, even though I was concerned about

126
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: the defense they gave up in order and the depth

127
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: they gave up in order to acquire Durant. The reason

128
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: I pick him is because I knew somebody was gonna

129
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: get hurt, right, and I wasn't sure exactly who. But yeah,

130
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: but you can't ask me Chris Paul Man. I mean,

131
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: Chris Paul's been hurt more than not this time of

132
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: year throughout his career. I mean, it stinks. It's not

133
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: what you you know, he's an all time great player,

134
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: but he's an all time great player who you simply

135
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: can't count on to be on the floor for you.

136
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: And here, you know, the groin injury and we never

137
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: saw him again.

138
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: I'll tell you who's gonna be the favorite for next year.

139
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: I could already tell you that it's gonna be, It's

140
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: very simple, to be honest with you, the favorite, and

141
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna be the overwhelming favorite. I just don't know

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: the name of the team yet, because whatever team Janni's

143
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: goes to, yeah, that's the team that will be. Like

144
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: if Nis went to my New York Knicks, then the

145
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: Knicks would be the overwhelming favorite. If Jianni's went to

146
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: the Phoenix Suns or wherever he has up because he's

147
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: not gonna end up staying in Milwaukee. I firmly you

148
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: think he is. You think all those all those rumors

149
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: out there and the smoke and that the Knicks were

150
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: ninety seven percent focus done the series and three percent

151
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: focused on what's going on with Milwaukee and new owners

152
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: up there and stuff like that. That you don't think

153
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: that they see the writing on the wall. That's why

154
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: they got rid of their coach, and they'll get rid

155
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: of Yanni's too. They'll they'll make a move.

156
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. He just strikes me as a different cat.

157
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: So we'll see how it goes. Could he go yeah,

158
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: I mean he is your show, hey Otani right now?

159
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: Basically in the NBA, to me, he's the best player

160
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: in the world. I know Embiid and Embiid had a

161
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: great year, don't want to knock him, but Gianness is

162
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: the best player, right. We could get into Jokic just

163
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: right there. Those you have a good leak because you

164
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: have depth where you could make arguments for multiple guys.

165
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: But you're right, yeah, if what team does he go to,

166
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: that don't become the favorite except for staying in Milwaukee.

167
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: That's where that's where he's not the favorite.

168
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: You know, well, I mean his biggest problem. I really

169
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: like Chris Middleton, but I'm not sure Chris Middleton is

170
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: a true number two in an era of super teams.

171
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: I think he is an excellent player that at times

172
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: really does look like a number two, and at times

173
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: when Giannis has been out, he's been able to shoulder

174
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: some of the load. But he's closer to CJ. McCollum

175
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: than he is, you know, a healthy Anthony Davis or

176
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: Dwayne Wade if you want to say Lebron James was

177
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: the one and Dwayne Wade was the two, or Paul

178
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: Pierce Er, Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen like he's not,

179
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: he's less of that. To me, Middleton is closer to

180
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: a Bosh. He's closer to a Kevin Love. He's closer

181
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: to that guy. He's closer to a three that's masquerading

182
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 2: as a two, just because there's a consistency there that

183
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: you don't love. Now, I don't know. Janice has made

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: that franchise super profitable. They did a really nice job

185
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: when the ownership came in of building that city around

186
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: it where it's just it's a happening place to be

187
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee. If such a thing exists, it exists right

188
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: there in Deer country. But yeah, if he leaves wherever

189
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: he goes, that does You would think unless they are

190
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: strapped for some other reason and they have to lose

191
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: a bunch of talent that they currently have, one would

192
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: think if he's gonna be a free agent, he's gonna

193
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: have some control over that. Then he's gonna be able

194
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: to pick his spot to some degree.

195
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: I'm not if I own the team, I'm not gonna

196
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: let him become a free agent. I'm gonna deal him

197
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: and get myself like five, six, seven, eight draft picks.

198
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 4: I mean, how many did they get for what's his

199
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: face up in gosh, I'm now I'm blanket on the

200
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: name the Senate Rudy Gobert. What was it like four

201
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 4: picks or something to that effect. So if they're gonna

202
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: be dishing out, you know in the n NFL or NBA,

203
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: four picks for one guy, how much am I gonna

204
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: go and get for Giannis? I'm gonna rebuild my team,

205
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: go through the draft, see what I canna do. But

206
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: you're not gonna leave here as a free agent. I'm

207
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: not gonna go ahead and let that happen. I gotta

208
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: I gotta go get a bunch of draft picks so

209
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 4: I could go ahead and rebuild my team.

210
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Jason, Yeah, Like if you think that he's gonna leave,

211
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: I know what the Angels have said about Otani, right,

212
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: But the Nationals also said they weren't gonna trade Sodo, right.

213
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: They said it right around this same time last year.

214
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: Last I checked, Sodo was wearing a Padres uniform.

215
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: So I think you gotta be smart about it. It's

216
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: a business. You don't let somebody walk away from free

217
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: when it's a commodity and you can get a lot

218
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: in return. You know, if it doesn't work out between

219
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: you and him, that's the way it's got to be.

220
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: And you know what, if if Jannis wants to get dealt,

221
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 4: then I'm gonna go ahead and do it. There's a

222
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: lot of moving parts in this, and I can get

223
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: back a lot of draft picks and rebuild my team

224
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: that way.

225
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I would have to He would

226
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: have to tell me I'm definitely not coming back, Like

227
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: that's the problem, because again, I think he's wired differently,

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: and I tend to think he's gonna stay there. But

229
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: you never know. I mean, I'm not in his head.

230
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if he has other aspirations that he

231
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: can't accomplish in Milwaukee. I'm not sure. I just know

232
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: he is different in so many different ways than a

233
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: lot of guys that I could see him stay. But

234
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: if he he also strikes me as a guy that

235
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: is that has the integrity that he'll tell him guys,

236
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bounce at the end of this, like there's

237
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: nothing you can offer me to stay here, and then

238
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: maybe you can try to move him. He doesn't. He

239
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: doesn't strike me as somebody that would do this in

240
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: bad faith, even if he wanted Coach Budd to stay

241
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: and that soured him or whatever might have happened here.

242
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: He's won a title there, He's won an MVP there.

243
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: He loves the fans, He basically owns the city. He

244
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: was the most popular athlete in the state, not Aaron Rodgers,

245
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: for the last handful of years. I would suggest, so

246
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: you look at all of that, I don't know why

247
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 2: you would necessarily go. If you could win a championship

248
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee.

249
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: Well you can, then who cares? You're not gonna win

250
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 4: a championship in two Where could you maximize your potential

251
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: not only on the court, but off the court, where

252
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: you can go ahead and be like a small enterprise,

253
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 4: you know, like like Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neil.

254
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

255
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: I mean, would he fit in with Lakers because how

256
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: many more years? You know, is Lebron gonna be around?

257
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 4: Is Anthony Davis is gonna stay healthy? I mean, he

258
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 4: could be the air parent. Does he want to do

259
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: something like that? Does he want to come even out

260
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: to Los Angeles that you know when he fit up

261
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: in Golden State? Would that be a possibility if he

262
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: if somehow they could work that though they're pretty much

263
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: cap restricted up there. But you know, I don't know

264
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: where would be the best play. Would he be in

265
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: New York and you know, get a championship back for

266
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: the Knicks. I'm not sure where the best place for

267
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: him would be.

268
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Listen, Arnie, I know you would like to see a

269
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: straight up trade Jannis for Julius Randall. I don't think no.

270
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: But we could offer Julius Randall could offer, we could

271
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: offer Barrett, We could offer a bunch of draft picks.

272
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: That's a start. I don't know where you're gonna get

273
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 4: a whole heck of a lot more. Barrett's to young

274
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 4: player look pretty good in the playoffs, But I understand

275
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 4: you're not going to get fair market value for somebody

276
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 4: like Jannis.

277
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: You might also want to see if you can cross sports.

278
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: It's like, all right, so Jannis goes to New York

279
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: and we'll send you Julius Randall, and the Brewers can

280
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: send somebody to the Yankees, and the Yankees can send

281
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge.

282
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: Maybe Zach Wilson, that quarterback on Jets.

283
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: No, I think you want to actually make a deal

284
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: more enticing, and that's if you want to do that,

285
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: at least offer Chris Streveler. Don't don't put them on

286
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: the Zach Wilson.

287
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, there's another name that comes up

288
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: because out here in the Northeast, you know, I live

289
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: in Vermontum, only three hours away from Boston. I keep

290
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: hearing the rumors. If Boston doesn't win it, what are

291
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: they gonna do? Commit all that money to Jalen Brown Tatum.

292
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: And if Jalen Brown's gonna be out, you got to

293
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: put another store up there in Boston. That might be

294
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 4: a good mix for Joannison Tatum out there. Why is

295
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown out because he's gonna cost too much money

296
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 4: because there's a lot of teams in the NBA would

297
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: like somebody like him.

298
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: Look, I'm I said it that way. You know what.

299
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: That's where I thought we were gonna be talking about.

300
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: Was the game six is. Of course, we have a

301
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Game seven tomorrow that we're gonna talk about as well.

302
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: We want to talk about the Lakers and Warriors. We

303
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: want to talk about all of these circumstances. But that's

304
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: an interesting point, So let's put a pin in that

305
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: we'll come back and we can start there. There's a

306
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: whole lot going on in the association, even though no

307
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: games were played today. We are brought to you right

308
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,320

333
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: See I I have it on mute because I'm hosting

334
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: a radio program. Arnie.

335
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if you are, but I didn't have

336
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: it on I just I was just Letdy Williams and

337
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: scoring touchdown. But it's twenty six twelve, twenty six twelve, Yeah,

338
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: Arlington with the lead, and they were five and six

339
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: on the year.

340
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was where I was going. They're playing against

341
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: the ten and one team and by the way, it's

342
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: now twenty six nineteen. After a big touchdown here, Oh

343
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: look at you look. Nice week for the XFL. This

344
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: worked out really well for them because there is nothing else.

345
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: There's like a couple of late baseball games. I think

346
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: they're regional, so it's not even there's no national game

347
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: right now. You lucked out and did not have an

348
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: NBA playoff game tonight because all series but one have

349
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: been decided in terms of getting us to the conference finals.

350
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: We will get a game seven tomorrow and we will

351
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: be speaking extensively about that as we go forward. So

352
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: a lot of the baseball was done early today, and

353
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: so the XFL. If you want to watch Sports Live,

354
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: unless you want to go back and watch Seahawks Steelers

355
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: Super Bowl from like Roethlisberger's second year, then this is

356
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: it like that. It's it's defenders against whatever. Arlington is.

357
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: Well, you know who's catching a lot of flak tonight

358
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: retigates no, Well, but you don't catch you go out

359
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: the flag. Tonight is ESPN because tomorrow they're putting the

360
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 4: baseball game on like they usually do it. Seven o'clock

361
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 4: Cardinals and Red Sox. Cardinals are like what.

362
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Cardinals are awful?

363
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: Ten games on the five and the Red Sox are

364
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 4: slightly over and they're moving the hockey game game six

365
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: I think Vegas Edmonton to ten o'clock at night, so

366
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 4: I don't know what happens if the game goes a

367
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 4: long extra innings or something, but ten that Chols. You

368
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 4: have no respect for hockey. Maybe one time. I don't

369
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: know if you could move baseball or just not air

370
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 4: it or move it to your ESPN two or something.

371
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 4: I mean, the disrespect hockey like that in the playoffs.

372
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound.

373
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: Right, you know, yeah it doesn't. And then you see

374
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: the television ratings.

375
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 8: Funny enough, I'm pretty sure there was a hockey game

376
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 8: on ESPN while the l games started on ABC's.

377
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: Right, it's over. But yes, you are correct.

378
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: I was watching that one too.

379
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: You know you weren't, Yeah, I was.

380
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: I switched on.

381
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: Oh you were actually watching that one?

382
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah?

383
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: Or you actually are watching the XFL game. I thought

384
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: you were joking about that.

385
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I actually had the hockey game on

386
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 4: and once that ended with the empty net goal I

387
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 4: switched over to the football game because there's really nothing

388
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: else to watch.

389
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so tomorrow we will have something to watch.

390
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: We'll get to the game seven. Let's talk about the

391
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: game six that we haven't really gotten into in detail yet. Yeah,

392
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: that being Lakers Warriors from last night. Lakers finish off,

393
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: the Warriors dominate them. This was one of those games,

394
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: aren't hee for Lebron James. And he hadn't had it

395
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: like a He certainly hadn't had like one of those

396
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: dominant series that you've gotten from him in the past.

397
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: He's having to pick his spots a little bit more.

398
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: The explosions not quite the same he's been able to get.

399
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: He's gotten a couple of great games from Davis, and

400
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: Davis gave him twenty rebounds last night, but he came

401
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: up with thirty and the Warriors man Klay Thompson couldn't

402
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: hit anything.

403
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 4: Nope, third time, first time in his career he's had

404
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: what ten or west points see games in a row.

405
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: That's something to look at, you know.

406
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bad. I mean Curry's and that's about it.

407
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: Like everybody else wearing a Warriors' uniform struggled and you

408
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: could have called this because and it was so important

409
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: for the Lakers to finish this off and not go

410
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: back to Golden State because that one, I would not

411
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: have favored the Men this one. I did think they would.

412
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: I thought they would do it. But if they didn't

413
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: get it done in six, I thought they were gonna

414
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: lose in seven, right, because the Warriors are flat terrible

415
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 2: on the road, just bad. They've been bad all year,

416
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: they're bad now and now they're done. And at home

417
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: they've been awfully good and they know what it feels

418
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: like in that building when it gets electric in the playoffs.

419
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: So the Lakers finished them off. And I think the

420
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: big storyline coming out of this with the Lakers advancing

421
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: is is this iteration of this dynasty that the Warriors

422
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: have had, this nucleus of talent that they have had,

423
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: was that the last time we were going to see

424
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: all of those guys, and I mean the crucial I'm

425
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: not talking about the other players, but I'm talking about

426
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 2: the main kind of tent poles, the cornerstones of the

427
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: Warriors dynasty. To me, Arnie, I think that was it.

428
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: I think that was it. I think that Draymond Green

429
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: is probably not there next year.

430
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no. The Draymond Green's going to

431
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 4: be there next year. There's no doubt that they're gonna

432
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: give him a new contract. At least that's what all

433
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 4: indications certainly look at right now. As a matter of fact,

434
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: it was it Draymond that put out that he was

435
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 4: gonna go back into the game with five minutes left,

436
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 4: and the owners said, what are you doing. We're down

437
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 4: by twenty two. I don't need your rehabbing any injuries

438
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: during the summer. So yeah, I think they're gonna bring

439
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 4: back him. But the real question is when Klay Thompson

440
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 4: becomes a free agent, how can you really justify giving

441
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: him the max contract when he's obviously slown down and

442
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 4: after a couple of major injuries where he missed almost

443
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 4: what two years of action, you can't give him that

444
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: type of money. And by the way, one other thing,

445
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: when you said that Curry scored a lot, Curry had

446
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: thirty two points Lebron had. Curry got what six six

447
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: points from the foul line. Lebron got two out of

448
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: the foul line. Otherwise it took Curry twenty eight shots.

449
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not efficient at all.

450
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 4: To score thirty two. It only took Lebron fourteen shots,

451
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: half the bount of shots for him to score thirty

452
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 4: was one of the best statistical games I've ever seen

453
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 4: them for Lebron. Ten of fourteen. He didn't have the

454
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 4: triple double, but still nine rebounds, nine assists. I mean,

455
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 4: the guy just gets better with age. It is just

456
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: phenomenal what he's able to pull off. I read about

457
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: some guy who's betting the Lakers back at like two

458
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: hundred to one, fifty to one, then at one hundred

459
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: to one. I'm just taking them all the way. They're

460
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: in a great position right now. Who would have thunk it.

461
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: Even Rob Polinka when he made the moves, didn't know

462
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: if it was gonna work this well. But it's been

463
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: fantastic so far.

464
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: So if you look at CBS, CBS is basically saying,

465
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 2: and the athletic is backing it up, that they are

466
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: intending to discuss a multi year deal with Green and

467
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: Thompson's got another year, so we may have and then he's.

468
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 4: Got to be gone. I would think that Clay may

469
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: end up for the Lakers, because I know we'd like

470
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: to go ahead and play there. I just don't know

471
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 4: if the Lakers are gonna have that type of money.

472
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, but I guess you have to

473
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: see how it all shakes out and what changes amidst

474
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: the Lakers scenarios to find a way to make that

475
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: work if it could. But I don't know what you're

476
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: getting at that point either, because Clay coming back from

477
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: the injury last year, he was kind of hot and cold,

478
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: and in this series he had four games that were

479
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: just not very good at all. What was the stat Okay,

480
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: he was fourteen of fifty six over the final four

481
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: games of this series and three of nineteen and the

482
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: loss on Friday Night. And then of course you had

483
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Steph who I didn't know that he was capable of this.

484
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 2: He missed thirty one of his last thirty seven to

485
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: three pointers. Wow across this series? Wow, how is that possible?

486
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: I have no idea. And the other thing when you

487
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: just brought up about Clay, because I'm not the financial

488
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: expert in this, does he have value for a team

489
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 4: that wants to pick up the one year, let the

490
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 4: contract expire, or buy him out and free out that

491
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 4: type of money? Does that help a team? You know

492
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: that you know will go in pay for it for

493
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 4: one year. Does it is it worth trading him? I

494
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: guess this is my question. Or actually just Golden State

495
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: just keep him, make one more year run at it.

496
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know. I mean

497
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: I think that based on what you're seeing from the.

498
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 4: Do you see that a lot? You know, Yeah, I'll

499
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 4: pick up the one year, We'll buy him out, or

500
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 4: we'll just keep him for a year, and you know

501
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: then then that opens up all this free money or

502
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 4: something like that.

503
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: You know. I just think I think at some point

504
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson kind of falls into that category of array

505
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: Allen like later on in his career for a team,

506
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: maybe he can go in. Yeah, I mean, he's somebody

507
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: that can go in at times and ignite you. And

508
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: when he's red hot, look out. And he's still when

509
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: he when he's moving well, when he's fully healthy, he's

510
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: still a great defensive player. He was one of the

511
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: guys on that team that actually would defend the perimeter

512
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: and do a lot of those things when it didn't

513
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: feel like a whole lot of the Warriors were committed

514
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: to that side.

515
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 4: Dream but not in forty million dollars. Well, he's making

516
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: what forty three million now, so what forty five to

517
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: fifty million's next. I can't give him that type of money.

518
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: No, No, I would not either. He was worth it

519
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: when that when that deal was originally there. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah.

520
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: The injury, I'm not sure he's ever been quite the

521
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: same since, which was a terrible injury and it was

522
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: hard to come back from. And he's just older. And

523
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: these are guys. You have to remember this, and I

524
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: know you know this already, but these dudes have played

525
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: deep into playoffs pretty much their entire career. They've played

526
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: extra seasons past their years where it's like, oh, if

527
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: this is his nice season, Actually it's closer to his

528
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: eleventh if you add in all the postseason games that

529
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 2: they have played him, which are harder fought, they take

530
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: more off your body, they take more energy, all of

531
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: those kinds of things that play into it. He's played

532
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: heavy minutes throughout a lot of time in his career.

533
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's going to be able to

534
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: offer a team. I do know this, though, I know

535
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: what Steve de Sager offers us. He offers us this update,

536
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: which is the best in the business. Steve good evening time.

537
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 7: This guy worked on Yeah, come on and off how

538
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 7: many Saturdays for the last year.

539
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: That's why I put it for tonight.

540
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 7: That's right. Jason Arney fancies himself having some sort of power.

541
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 7: Someone's got to run, Yeah exactly. Someone just let it go.

542
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: Hey, well, when I connected, by the way, when I connected,

543
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: they told me, hey, Arnie's ready to go. I said,

544
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if I should be happy about that.

545
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 7: Or good sentence. You guys were mentioning the hockey ratings

546
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 7: so far for the playoffs. Just Thursday night, we had

547
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 7: the Celtics playoff game. It wasn't on TNT. Thursday, ESPN

548
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 7: had that night's doubleheader. Celtics got six point two million viewers.

549
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 7: The hockey got one point four million for each of

550
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 7: the two games on TNT, And in fact, that's less

551
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 7: than that Peacock game with the Braves last Sunday morning

552
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 7: that NBC carried that was one point six million, one

553
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 7: of them higher than the hockey. And in fact, last

554
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 7: Sunday Night Baseball was one point six million. The Fox

555
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 7: Saturday Baseball last weekend was two million viewers. NHL Second

556
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 7: Round has been averaging about one point.

557
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 4: Three races the NASCAR races get more than.

558
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 7: That, yes, and certainly golf does as well. And it

559
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 7: doesn't help that Boston and New York Rangers are out.

560
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

561
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, apparently the ratings are a little higher than what

562
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 7: they were last year for hockey. But no, it's not

563
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 7: been good. And as you pointed out now that we

564
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 7: have not official from the team, but multiple reports saying

565
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 7: the Phoenix Suns have quote parted ways with coach Monty Williams.

566
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 7: Both coaches from the NBA Finals only two years ago

567
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 7: have lost their jobs this month. Milwaukee's Mike Budenholzer as well,

568
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 7: and longtime writer Mark Stein points out that the championship

569
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 7: coach from twenty twenty, Frank Vogel, is still out there

570
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 7: he was unemployed this year, and the twenty nineteen championship

571
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,520

00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: telling that joke at Sticking Genius one at JMR Radio

618
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: if you want to find us right now. Yeah, Padres

619
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: nineteen and twenty one, Arnie, not a joke.

620
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 4: That's a real thing there that people wish there was

621
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: a joke. It's a real thing there.

622
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 5: Yeesh.

623
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: So we were talking there before, we were talking about

624
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: the Warriors, so let's flip and talk about the Lakers.

625
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 4: Now, Okay, just real quick to finish that up. It

626
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: is o v er for the Warriors, though, never sniff

627
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: a championship again, so you can pretty much write them out.

628
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 4: And it is because of their rage. Even if Quake

629
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 4: comes back for one year, they're never gonna win it again.

630
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: Draymond can only do so much. He'll never be a

631
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: boost offensively, but he helps some defensively and rebounding and

632
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: stuff is getting too old. So it's o veer for

633
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 4: your friends up there in the Bay Area.

634
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't necessarily disagree. I think that most

635
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: people gave them and I even said I was like

636
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 2: I want to see them get beat before I say

637
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: they can't win it, because we've seen it so often.

638
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: They really do feel like even though their dynasty was

639
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: a shorter time span, it just feels kind of patriots

640
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: ish to me. I know you look at the Spurs

641
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: and think the exact same thing. But the Spurs been

642
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: out of it now for a while. Like we don't

643
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: ever talk about the Spurs, and no one mentions Greg

644
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: Popovich anymore, but.

645
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: We think Tim duncan you know, or David Robinson. He's

646
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: not such a great coach, is he?

647
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: Well? I mean it does help when you have those guys,

648
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: but I do think he's a good coach. But we'll

649
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: talk about who I think is the best coach in

650
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: the NBA here in just a minute. But I think

651
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: that you look at the Warriors and you just see

652
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: I think you gave them a chance because of who

653
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: they are, right, But it's more because of who they

654
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: were than who they are. Because who they are and

655
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: who they have been this season shouldn't have given you

656
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: that much confidence going into the playoffs against who they

657
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: were going to see. The Lakers matched up well against them.

658
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: We have said this over and over all, Slow.

659
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 4: Down I mean, let's say the Lakers were not coming in.

660
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: It wasn't like, oh yeah, the Lakers though the NBA favorites.

661
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 4: You know, there was a lot of doubt. They had

662
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: the you know, play in the play in games. People

663
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 4: didn't know what was gonna happen to the Clippers at

664
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: that point, what was gonna happen to the Suns. There

665
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: was a lot of doubt for the Lakers coming into

666
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 4: the playoffs, I believe.

667
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, no one's saying there was no doubt. I'm just

668
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: saying that it was a good matchup. When you actually

669
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: looked at it on the floor, you saw advantages for

670
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers. And we have talked about on this program,

671
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: Aaron and I over and over again over the last

672
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: month or so that Rob Blenka did a great job

673
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: in what he was able to pull off at the

674
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: trade deadline and who he acquired, and how those guys

675
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: have all gelled together, like they still require Lebron or

676
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: ad One to do something for them, but no longer

677
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: does Lebron have to go in there and get you

678
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: thirty five to keep you close, Like you just have

679
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: some guys that could go out there and make shots

680
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: and show up for you, and they seem to play

681
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: with some swagger and some confidence despite the fact that

682
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: they're young and their names are just being known outside

683
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: of the hardest of core basketball worlds. But this is

684
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: a Lakers team right now. That's awfully dangerous. Problem for

685
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: the Lakers is the Nuggets look real good.

686
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 4: Oh they look awesome.

687
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: They look real good.

688
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: Before you get off the Lakers, though, you know who

689
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: the unsung hero of that team is, don't you.

690
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 9: Well?

691
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: I mean I could give you a couple of diff

692
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Austin there.

693
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 4: You go, stop right there, you could just stop right there.

694
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: That's who the young suck hero was. I'm not saying

695
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 4: he's the best. I'm not saying he's the most valuable.

696
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's first second or third team All

697
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: NBA or you know, he's he's a damn.

698
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: Give him time the way he's getting, how much better

699
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: he's getting you.

700
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: Oh, you're right, he's a well you know, didn't we

701
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 4: say that about Jordan Poole, But we'll go back on that.

702
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 4: But you're right, he's he's a he's a damn good

703
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 4: player fits well into this. I don't think the Lakers

704
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: can afford to keep him. It'll be interesting to see

705
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: what he's offered money wise. Warhole end up, and he

706
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: could be the same type of player. He may have

707
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 4: to go to a bad team and we may never

708
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: hear from him again. He may just go to to

709
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 4: a team that doesn't even make the playing game and

710
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: for the money. So I'm curious to see what's gonna happen.

711
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: Then when it's all said and done there.

712
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say one other thing. I don't I

713
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: don't know that this is even controversy and we can

714
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: go to break on this. We can come back and

715
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: debate it or joke about it a little bit, But

716
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: I don't think the Lakers are still playing basketball right now.

717
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 2: If Kyrie Irving was wearing a Lakers uniform the way

718
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: it was kind of being talked about before Kyrie went

719
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: to Dallas in the middle of this time slot as

720
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, on Saturday night, and we ended

721
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: up talking about it there. I think that was addition

722
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: by never happened when it comes to the.

723
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 4: Lakers, I promise this. If Russell Westbrook was in a uniform,

724
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 4: this is not happening right now.

725
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: No way, no way. Even though even though he gave

726
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: it he gave the Clippers all he had in the

727
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: postseason and they were knocked out.

728
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: By the way, do you want to ring? Russell Westbrook

729
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 4: said he wants a ring if the Lakers win it.

730
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to ring. I keep your damn ring.

731
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: I had nothing to do with that. I don't.

732
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a pawn Stars fan. Maybe he can go

733
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: take that and add that to the bank account. It

734
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Saturday. We'll come back. We can talk

735
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more about this. There is a lot

736
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: of show left to get to. We haven't even discussed

737
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: Game seven. We're gonna save that to lead off our

738
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: number two. So don't so anywhere. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2: Welcome back, Fox Sports Radio. It's Foxsports Saturday Live from

746
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: the Tyraq dot com studios. I'm Jason Martin. Arnie Spanier

747
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: is with me here. Arnie on Sunday Nights with Chris Plank,

748
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: you usually do hear me at this time on Saturdays

749
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: with Aaron Torrez. He's on vacation this week. Apparently so

750
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: is the star receiver for the DC Defenders. Jeez, who

751
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: just dropped what would have been a touchdown for them.

752
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 2: They're in the fourth quarter in the XFL championship game,

753
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: Arlington five and six on the season, up by fifteen

754
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: right now, set to potentially win, and that'll make them

755
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: five hundred for the season. So it's good stuff. Man.

756
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna finish up six and six, it would appear.

757
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 2: I mean, there's still time, but that's what you want

758
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: out of a champion, I would say, as a six

759
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: and six football team.

760
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 4: I wonder how many I wonder what kind of ratings

761
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 4: this will do on their championship with nothing else around.

762
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 4: I wonder if people are gonna be tuning into something

763
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 4: like this.

764
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be curious to see it, and I'm sure

765
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: Disaga can tell us about it on next week's program

766
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: exactly how this game did. I wouldn't be surprised if

767
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: this game had more viewers than the NHL playoffs.

768
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 4: Be right around there. I think you might be right

769
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 4: on that, right around the same amount of number there

770
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 4: somewhere there.

771
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I think there's a curiosity factor when

772
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 2: you're looking at Oh, well, it's a championship game tonight. Yeah,

773
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: I can watch that, especially when there's again not much

774
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: in the way of competition in terms of live sporting.

775
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: If you had any NBA playoff game tonight, those ratings

776
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: would likely be real strong considering the lack of competition.

777
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: No one's gonna want to go against Game seven. Tomorrow.

778
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: We will discuss that and talk in you know what

779
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we have one, I mean, we almost got none.

780
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: There was a possibility we're gonna get any of that,

781
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 2: and we're gonna be sitting here waiting for the next

782
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: round of the NBA postseason to kick off, uh later

783
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: on next week. And of course it always feels like

784
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs begins and then ends over about a

785
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 2: seven month span. It just feels like it takes forever.

786
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 4: It does it does? They drag it on way too long?

787
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: You know? So if five and sixteen potentially winning the

788
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 2: XFL Championship, I just got to ask this question. Yeah,

789
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: so if basically everybody makes the playoffs, why do you

790
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: even play a regular season? Like, why not just do

791
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You could maybe even extend it out, like

792
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: find a way to do a double elimination or something

793
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: like that and make that your season. Because if everybody's

794
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: gonna get in anyway, or just about everyone, then what

795
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: are you playing for? You're just playing to dodge better teams.

796
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 2: Screw that. I mean, you've got a five and sixteam

797
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: right now in your championship that's likely to win over

798
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: a ten to one football team. Like, what have you

799
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 2: accomplished here? If you're the XFL, just turn this thing

800
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: into a bracket style tournament and that's your entire league.

801
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 4: Well, you wouldn't say that about the NFL. For was

802
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: like a wild card team that was making it all

803
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 4: the way.

804
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: To the Yeah, but there's a ton of teams in

805
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 2: the NFL that's not the same. There's a ton of

806
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: teams in the NFL that don't make the playoffs even

807
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: with a wildcard, even with seven coming from each conference.

808
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 2: Now this is I don't know exactly what the number is,

809
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: but if you've got a five and six team in

810
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: your championship game, that means the team underneath five hundred

811
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: made the playoffs. That's not generally happening. Now we've been

812
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 2: close to it with some real bad divisions in the NFL,

813
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: I was gonna have a division champion win.

814
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 8: We absolutely do not respect like NFC South or AFC South.

815
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 8: If someone with a losing record gets in the playoffs,

816
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 8: that's always seen as a bad thing in the NFL.

817
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 2: Yeah again, because it's like there's probably a team that

818
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: was second in a good division that you would always

819
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: say is a better football team than the thing. But

820
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: the NFL is based on record and record only, so

821
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: that's it. There's no style points and we don't have

822
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: to sit there and have the street the schedule argument

823
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 2: and all that. It's built on tie breakers. It's built

824
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: on rules, and that's the end of it. But I

825
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: say that, I'm just like if you just said, hey man,

826
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: the XFL season is going to be a tournament, right,

827
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: and you just set it up that way as opposed

828
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: to giving me a regular season that I just gotta

829
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: be real, I couldn't possibly care less about. And then

830
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 2: you get to the playoffs and you catch me on

831
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: the right night tonight and I've turned you on to

832
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: see what the league is about in terms of its

833
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: championship and all this kind of stuff. I just feel like,

834
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: if you just give me the eighteen tournament or whatever,

835
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm probably more likely to watch that because it just

836
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: feels like I'm watching an event as opposed to a

837
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: season that feels entirely meaningless.

838
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: You know, you maybe have a point there, Maybe it's

839
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 4: because of the event that you're watching, but I don't

840
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: know if it really makes so much of a difference.

841
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 4: I idle are gonna tune in if you had a

842
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: double elimination tournament in the XFL based on a regular

843
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 4: season an opposed season, And I understand, you know, you

844
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: all four and six now they're five and six and

845
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 4: all that. But no big deal, no harm, no foul.

846
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 4: You know, we're just joining a little football on it,

847
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 4: so I'm not making that big of a deal about it.

848
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: Likely to be a lot of harm and a lot

849
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: of fouls. Tomorrow, as Boston and Philly meeting Game seven,

850
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna deep dive into it. Boy, that's gonna be

851
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: a fun game tomorrow. We're gonna dive into it from

852
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: all angles. To open the second hour of this show,

00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: So it's thirty five twenty right now in the XFL

866
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 2: Championship game not looking it's another DC Arlington five and six.

867
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: I just have to do this before we get to

868
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: game seven, because I saw this pop up on the

869
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: screen and I was just kind of baffled by it.

870
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 2: And I'm not even mad about it. I'm impressed because

871
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 2: this takes a whole lot of just it takes a

872
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 2: lot of desire, quite frankly. Luis Perez is a quarterback

873
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: for Arlington twenty nineteen. Started seven games in the AAF

874
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, started two games in the XFL twenty twenty one,

875
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: played in the Spring League twenty twenty two, started six

876
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 2: games in the USFL twenty twenty three, his eighth start

877
00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: of this XFL season with his second team of this season. Wow,

878
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: and now he might be about to win the championship

879
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: as a quarterback. Here, that's a dude that really really

880
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: wanted to chase his dreams. As you know, derisive and

881
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: kind of mocking as I've always been about spring football,

882
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: I just don't believe it and don't see any point

883
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 2: in it. I have always said this, and I think

884
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: this guy is the embodiment of it. Here's the dude

885
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: that's chasing his dream that's getting That's the one thing

886
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 2: I like about these leagues is it does give some

887
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: guys an opportunity to continue to go for a dream

888
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: for a little while, and maybe a couple of them

889
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: get noticed, and maybe they do get picked up on

890
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: an NFL roster. It's never about the guys not putting

891
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 2: forth effort or anything else like that. This guy, I mean,

892
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 2: think about from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three, He's

893
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 2: played in all of the leagues right outside of the NFL.

894
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: He's played everywhere. This is the guy that just ain't

895
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: gonna give it up. And I think he's about to

896
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: be the quarterback for Bob Stoops's championship winning team at

897
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: the end of the season. That's quite a journey.

898
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 4: Well, who is the guy in baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates,

899
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 4: Drew Maggie I think is his name. Thirteen years in

900
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 4: the minor leagues and finally called up and got his

901
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: a bat in the major leagues after thirteen years. You

902
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 4: would have think just after a while the team said

903
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 4: that don't bring him up as a gift and just

904
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 4: give him it a bat. It's it was like they've

905
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 4: been dominant all those years, but thirteen years. Jason, I'm

906
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 4: kind of dealing with the same thing. You know, my

907
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 4: son plays hockey. He finished college, he made a team

908
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 4: in the Fed League last year, didn't get to play

909
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 4: much at all. Now he's looking to go ahead and

910
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 4: make another team, another league, maybe play overseas. You know,

911
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 4: there's so many different places to play. Plays hockey. He's

912
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 4: a goalie, so they don't They just don't want to

913
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 4: give it up. He's like, I don't want to give

914
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 4: it up. I want to keep playing. I go as

915
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 4: long as you keep making teams go ahead and go

916
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: for it? Why not? So you know, I understand the desire.

917
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 4: I know what it's all about there, you know.

918
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, don't talk about it. Guy paying Dues. Thirteen

919
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: years in the miners, that story. Luis Perez, you know,

920
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: five years in developmental football leagues, and of course he

921
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: went through COVID there too. He played in the ALF

922
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 2: and then he played in the XFL before it got

923
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: shut down, then the Spring League, then the USFL and

924
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: now the XFL season. And not just with one team

925
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: this year. This is his second team and he finds

926
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: himself as the quarterback on the field for a team

927
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 2: is probably about to win the title. We don't know who.

928
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: It's a crazy story, it really is. We don't know

929
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: who's gonna be playing for the championship in the Eastern

930
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: Conference in the NBA. We know the Miami heater one

931
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: side of it. The other side of it will be

932
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: decided tomorrow as the Celtics host the Sixers, who had

933
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: an opportunity to win this thing in six couldn't do it.

934
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 2: Boston was my pick entering the playoffs to win it all.

935
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: I don't feel quite as good about that one right now.

936
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: I definitely like Bernie Frado's Nuggets pick pretty strongly if

937
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: you had to make me say it, although you will

938
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: not catch me betting against Jimmy Butler. Right based on

939
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 2: what we've seen.

940
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 4: Their luck is gone, They've had their run, and they're

941
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 4: gonna be divy. That doesn't make an efvidence. If it's

942
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 4: gonna be Philadelphia Boston, it will be four games sweep,

943
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 4: maybe five, but no more than that. It's gonna be

944
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 4: an ugly Eastern Conference Finals.

945
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: So here is my initial question about this matchup. Who

946
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 2: is this game bigger for Arnie in your opinion, Joel Embiid,

947
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: the now MVP of the league or Jason Tatum. Which

948
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: one of them needs this more and which one of

949
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: them is going to get mulled more if they are

950
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 2: part of the reason their team doesn't advance.

951
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 4: To me easy when Joe l Embiid, I mean, first

952
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 4: of all, he's the MVP. People are looking at him.

953
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 4: They're gonna look at Doc Rivers and his record in

954
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 4: game seven, They're gonna look at Doc Rivers in his

955
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 4: records in series when he's up three games to one,

956
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 4: it's gonna be him. Because Tatum kind of gets a pass.

957
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 4: Maybe it's because of his youth, I I'm not sure why,

958
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 4: or because of all the coaching changes that the Celtics

959
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: have had gone through. Maybe that's the reason why we

960
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 4: give him a little bit of a pass. But Philadelphia

961
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 4: and Joel embiid no doubt with the more pressure here

962
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 4: considering also now Game seven's in Boston, so that's gonna

963
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 4: be tough to pull it off. But they should never

964
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 4: have gotten to that point. They should have won Game six,

965
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 4: especially when Tatum was like three or seventeen at one point.

966
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 4: If you can't win at home at that at that position,

967
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 4: you're you're in TROUBLESO. I'm curious, toy, how this is

968
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 4: gonna play out.

969
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's a good point. I mean, you could

970
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: have knocked the Celtics totally out. You didn't do it.

971
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 2: And then Tatum had a really nice kind of finish

972
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: to that game.

973
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: Oh even went hit like four or five in a

974
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 4: row from three finished what he had like seventeen points

975
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: or sixty points in the fourth quarter.

976
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he willed them in, and that's what

977
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 2: you need. You're Jason Tatum, whoever that is on your team,

978
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: that's what you need from them. Now, what you need

979
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: at home in a game seven is for the others

980
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: to show up. And usually that's exactly what happens, is

981
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: the role players show up at home. In the playoffs,

982
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: they might desert you on the road. This one's tough

983
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 2: to call because the thing that's been more surprising to

984
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 2: me about this plan go ahead, go ahead.

985
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 4: It's tough to call because how many people are gonna

986
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 4: be really be watching it. Let's think about this three

987
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 4: thirty Eastern, right, that's when the game on Mother's Day.

988
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 4: Nobody's going out for brunch uor like a lunch or

989
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 4: anything like that. You're all gonna go ahead and sit home.

990
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 4: What happens if you're on the West coast twelve thirty

991
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 4: start there, everybody's passing out brunch and lunch, and everybody's

992
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 4: sitting home and watch his game seven? Is what you're

993
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 4: gonna tell me right there, Jason.

994
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it is Boston and Phillias two pretty big,

995
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: pretty big.

996
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 4: I understand, but brunch is a ritual for Mother's Day.

997
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 2: Who's going to brunch at four pm in the afternoon?

998
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 4: No, I mean, you could go, but what about on

999
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 4: the West brunch anymore? It's twelve thirty on.

1000
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: The What is it? What is it now? Yeah, Chris said,

1001
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: it's not brunch anymore. What is it?

1002
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 3: That's supper?

1003
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's dinner.

1004
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, four pm and is definitely not brunch. That third

1005
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 2: after lunch, that's not a brunch then.

1006
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 3: No, it's not dinner, it's supper.

1007
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 4: But twelve thirty on the West Coast though, you know what,

1008
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 4: that's brunch.

1009
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: That's still not brunch. That's lunch.

1010
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, brunches. Brunch is more ten thirty, eleven.

1011
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: Maybe eleven thirty. You're pushing it after that point.

1012
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 2: Fast food restaurants switch over from breakfast to lunch at

1013
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: eleven eight, yeah, or yeah, you're right. Some some do

1014
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 2: ten thirty, some do eleven, somewhere in that range. And look,

1015
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 2: it's not just brunch because you're eating breakfast food either,

1016
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 2: Like it's all it's based on time and potentially the

1017
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 2: restaurant you're at, if you're if the restaurant you're going

1018
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: to closes at two thirty in the afternoon, Yeah, that's

1019
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: that's probably.

1020
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 4: You don't think it shouldna take away. You don't think

1021
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: about this day is going to take away for sure? Yeah?

1022
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I mean Father's day. The US Open final

1023
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 2: round is almost always weekend of Father's Day, or it

1024
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 2: has been pretty much my entire life. Now I know

1025
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 2: theyf we configure the schedule. What I think, it's still

1026
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 2: the same. But Father's Day is just not taken seriously. No,

1027
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 2: like we're always giving the shaft. A good friend of

1028
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: mine that I used to work with has made that argument.

1029
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: He's right, like Father's Day, dudes, get the shaft. That's

1030
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 2: just kind of the way it is. Mother different.

1031
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the present we want and we get us to

1032
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: leave us alone? Right? Is that leave us alone, let

1033
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 4: us watch the games. Is that pretty much what it is?

1034
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 2: Or what? Let me tell you this. I convinced my wife.

1035
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 2: I was just like it because we're we're saving money

1036
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: and doing some things differently now than we used to.

1037
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: And I said, let's just go once for a nice

1038
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: meal and we'll celebrate Mother's and Father's Day and we

1039
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: can just do it on whatever day we want to.

1040
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be super busy or anything like that.

1041
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 4: Genius.

1042
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, can we both kind of celebrate? Can

1043
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 2: I get the mother and the father celebrated in this

1044
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 2: one me? When in actuality it's really just a Mother's

1045
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 2: Day meal, and I'm glombing on to get like twenty

1046
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 2: five percent credit.

1047
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 4: Look what you've just done. Now we have Mother's Day,

1048
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 4: Father's Day, and Parents Weekend now too, Look what you've

1049
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 4: done now. I could see hallmarketting on that in selling

1050
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 4: cards for I.

1051
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: Would say game seven, back to the back to the

1052
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 2: lecture at hand, I would say Game seven is gonna

1053
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: do fine, But it is unfortunate the game's not in

1054
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 2: prime time right right. If it was Sunday night, we

1055
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 2: would all be tuning in. Yeah, I think that the

1056
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 2: likelihood is people are gonna tune in later or they're

1057
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 2: gonna catch pieces of it. But seeing there and watching

1058
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: it on Mother's Day, a lot of people are not

1059
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: necessarily traveling, but they're in other places. They're in their

1060
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: mother's home, their grandmother's home, things of that nature. So

1061
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 2: it is gonna it might affect it to some degree.

1062
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: But it's a big matchup with two big time marquee

1063
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: cities and television markets, and you've got the stars that

1064
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 2: you want to see. And I think even we talked

1065
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 2: about Jaylen Brown and we actually then diverted from that

1066
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 2: because of some things that were going on. If the

1067
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 2: Celtics lose. I think the argument can be made that

1068
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 2: even though I really like Jaylen Brown as a player,

1069
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 2: I don't know that he and Tatum are a great mix.

1070
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 2: What do you think of that as you're watching them now, Tatum,

1071
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 2: you feel like Tatum needs to be the alpha dog

1072
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown kind of if Tatum is Kevin Durant, then

1073
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 2: Jayleen Brown has a little bit of Russell Westbrook in him. Oh,

1074
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. I'm not saying they're the same guy. I'm

1075
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 2: not saying they play the same I'm saying that there

1076
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: were times where Russell Westbrook acted like it was his

1077
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: team in Oklahoma City and Kevin Durant was a little

1078
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 2: bit too passive. I think you could accuse Jason Tatum

1079
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 2: of being the same and that the team really needs

1080
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: to flow through him and not Jayleen Brown.

1081
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 4: Well, and that's true. I mean, look, it's got to

1082
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 4: go through somebody. Somebody's got to go ahead, and you

1083
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 4: run the offense through I feel bad because I look,

1084
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 4: I think there are two young players that could have

1085
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 4: set the cornerstone for the Celtic for a long long time.

1086
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 4: Now you want to give up one of the guys

1087
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 4: and Make no mistake about it, This is really about money.

1088
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 4: Because the money you're gonna be able to commit to

1089
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 4: Tatum and Brown or like, what what is that three

1090
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 4: hundred million or something to that effects, it's gonna be

1091
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 4: insane and you could probably get a lot back in return.

1092
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 4: For somebody like Jalen Brown. That's probably the best thing

1093
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 4: to do. But what are you going to get it

1094
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 4: for him? What does that open up? Does that open

1095
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 4: up somebody for Giannis or is that a trade that

1096
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 4: they'd be interested in? If I'm Milwaukee, I get back

1097
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 4: a young guy like Jalen Brown. Hey, let's talk a

1098
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 4: little bit. Now, how many draft picks you're gonna give me?

1099
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 4: Celtic's used to stockpile draft picks out there, so with

1100
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: Danny Ainge, let's see how many they've got left. That

1101
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 4: could be a strong possibility. I would definitely take a

1102
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 4: look at that and work that. And by the way,

1103
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 4: we're getting a lot. On Twitter, Jason writes that he

1104
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 4: says it's a bigger game for Doc Rivers if somebody,

1105
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 4: if some of these Sixers lose, he's gonna be fired.

1106
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: I would go your Hell, yeah, I think that's a

1107
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 2: great Actually, had that written down. I think that's a

1108
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 2: great place to go and what we can go there

1109
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: after the break. I think that's an excellent comment from

1110
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 2: the tweeter. And absolutely I think Doc Rivers there's a

1111
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: lot on the line for Doc, no question about it.

1112
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 4: The other coach. Exactly if these other coaches are going

1113
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 4: to get fired for even when they win championships a

1114
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 4: couple of years later, what do you think they're gonna

1115
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 4: do to Doc Rivers for grid out loud.

1116
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we can talk about that when we come back. Uh,

1129
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: whether you've spent the eight bucks to get the check

1130
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: mark or not. I'm at Jmar Radio.

1131
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 4: Is it eight bucks or eleven dollars?

1132
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 2: I actually don't know? Okay, is it eight or eleven?

1133
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 4: Why do some people get their check mark back but

1134
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 4: not the rest of us do? I don't understand that either.

1135
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 3: So it's eleven dollars. If you're on an Apple device.

1136
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:32,560

1144
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 4: By the way, I feel like Reggie Bush took away

1145
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 4: his heisman, and now they took away my check mark.

1146
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 4: You know, I the only thing I've ever earned that

1147
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 4: I want that I've earned that check mark. Now he's

1148
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 4: they're going away for me for crying out loud.

1149
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 2: Well, you can pay you and get it back.

1150
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't do anything illegal, so.

1151
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: So we talked about how you don't want to be

1152
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 2: NBA Coach of the year right based on who's losing

1153
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: their job. Monny Williams if you didn't know of Phoenix Suns.

1154
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 2: According to multiple reports tonight, he's going to be out

1155
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 2: in Phoenix. We already saw coach but out. Nick Nurse

1156
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 2: is out. If you've won championship, you've been coach of

1157
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 2: the year. Frank Vogel is out. Still looking around like

1158
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a lot of things to

1159
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: look at there. Doc Rivers Eastern Conference Coach of the

1160
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 2: Month in January and March this year. Now he's a

1161
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,479
Speaker 2: former coach of the year back in nineteen ninety nine.

1162
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 2: We had a tweet that came into the program before

1163
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 2: the break because I had asked who this game was

1164
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 2: bigger for, Joe l Embiid or Jason Tatum Game seven tomorrow,

1165
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 2: and the tweeter said Doc Rivers. And we actually had

1166
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 2: that written down to talk about because I actually think

1167
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 2: that's potentially true, especially the way this postseason's going. When

1168
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 2: you're getting beaten in the playoffs this year, and you're

1169
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 2: a coach with some tenure or you've done some things,

1170
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 2: you seem to still find your way onto the unemployment lines.

1171
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 2: This is a guy in Doc rivers Arnie. That forty

1172
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 2: nine and twenty three record in twenty twenty one, that

1173
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 2: doesn't mean twenty twenty one, but twenty twenty and twenty

1174
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: one that season. The twenty twenty one season, he's fifty

1175
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: one and thirty one. This year he's fifty four and

1176
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Now we know in Beid's been there throughout

1177
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 2: his time. They've at Tyrese Maxy's become a star there.

1178
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 2: They've had guys, but generally speaking, Doc has always coached

1179
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 2: talent and he's generally coached well, even though it didn't

1180
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 2: really go great at the end with the Clippers. But

1181
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 2: if you can't get over the hump here when you

1182
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 2: have two cracks to beat a Celtics team that really

1183
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 2: does look wounded, they just don't look the same to

1184
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 2: me as that team that last year. You just felt

1185
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 2: a lot differently about the makeup of that team. This year,

1186
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 2: this team can be had, especially with the way the

1187
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 2: Sixers seem to be trending. And now you're staring at

1188
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 2: a game seven and you're in Boston's building, which is

1189
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 2: a tough place to play. A tough environment. You know

1190
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna get their best shot. But I still could

1191
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: see a universe and I the first comment that I saw,

1192
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 2: I just went and googled Doc Rivers. I didn't even

1193
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: put anything else by his name. I just said Doc Rivers.

1194
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 2: The first thing I saw was a link to Reddit

1195
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: where a question was asked, should Doc Rivers be fired

1196
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: if we lose tomorrow? That coming from a Sixers fan,

1197
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 2: what do you think the chances are if the Sixers

1198
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: do get beaten tomorrow in this game against Boston, this

1199
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 2: game seven, the Doc Rivers actually does get pink slips.

1200
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 4: I think there's a good chance he does. But I

1201
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 4: think that's a mistake. I like Doc Rivers, but you

1202
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 4: know you gave the stats. The Sixers have gotten better

1203
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 4: every year since he's been there. Forty nine wins, fifty one,

1204
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 4: then fifty four. I know that's not a big increase,

1205
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 4: but it is an increase. Nonetheless, now it hurts only

1206
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,479
Speaker 4: because you have Joel Embiid, who you know, if he's

1207
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 4: not the MVP those other years, he's certainly a top

1208
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 4: three or a top five player. The only problem is

1209
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 4: three years ago we only played in fifty one games

1210
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 4: in sixty eight and sixty six. Not bad. It wasn't

1211
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 4: like he's played half the games like maybe an Anthony

1212
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 4: Davis or something like that. But that is effective there.

1213
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 4: Then you've had the James Harden situation, You've had the

1214
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 4: Simmons situation. Is it really Doc Rivers' fault? The only

1215
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 4: reason you'd fire him is because you want to say

1216
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 4: we have to start fresh. Has he really done an

1217
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 4: awful job?

1218
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: No, he is not.

1219
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,479
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, he's gone up every year.

1220
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 4: But it's those three to one series that he loses,

1221
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: those game sevens that he loses, is what's going to

1222
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 4: stick out. That's why they're going to fire him. I mean,

1223
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 4: you look back at his career, that's what's going to happen.

1224
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 4: Long time with the Celtics, long time with the Clippers,

1225
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 4: so you know it will be a short time with

1226
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 4: the Sixers if he doesn't get it done tomorrow.

1227
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 2: Just to clarify, his first year in Philadelphia was technically

1228
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: his best if you just look at wins losses because

1229
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: they only played seventy two games that year, right, so

1230
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 2: he was forty nine and twenty three. It was a

1231
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 2: six eighty one win percentage. That year. The next year

1232
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 2: was fifty one, and thirty one was six twenty two

1233
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 2: this year back to six fifty nine, at fifty four

1234
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 2: and twenty eight. All of those are numbers that you know,

1235
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: usually you're going to keep your job unless they just

1236
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 2: feel like you've taken them as far as you're gonna

1237
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: be able to take them. They need a new voice

1238
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: in the room. You would think that with that kind

1239
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 2: of success and only being there for three years, that's

1240
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 2: not an Apple Carts you would want to upset. This

1241
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 2: all becomes a mood point though. If Philadelphia beats Boston,

1242
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 2: if they beat Boston and they go to meet Miami,

1243
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 2: you know, then then we have a completely different discussion here.

1244
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 4: But I will get the difference there because we all

1245
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 4: know that the winner of this game is gonna go

1246
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 4: ahead and go to the finals. They're they'll crush Miami

1247
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 4: whoever it's going to be. So we're talking one they really, yes,

1248
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 4: really for nothing or four to one. That's what's at

1249
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 4: stake for Philadelphia and Boston. Winner not only gets to

1250
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 4: go to the finals. But you know, some people might

1251
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 4: say if it's against the Lakers, they're about even against

1252
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 4: Lakers may be a slight favorite against the Lakers, so

1253
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 4: believing this is a humongous game more than.

1254
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 3: The Knicks loss hurts much.

1255
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 2: Huh. Yeah, So that's exactly what I was thinking. I

1256
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 2: was just like, man, that Nick's law. You are just

1257
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 2: seething right now.

1258
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 4: No, it's look, I give them credit, they got it done.

1259
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 4: But come on, now, the Knicks were predicted to win

1260
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 4: thirty eight games this year. They were a sub five

1261
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 4: hundred team.

1262
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 3: They over against, had them going to the Eastern Conference Final.

1263
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: I did they were? What did there?

1264
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 5: What?

1265
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: I love playing, but I can't take this.

1266
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but let me tell you they overachieved. Nick's are

1267
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 4: another player away. But I'm telling you now, no way

1268
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 4: Miami even comes close in the next series. It's gonna

1269
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 4: be a big boar.

1270
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 3: For Jimmy Butler, unbelievably electric.

1271
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I will quit my job if Yeah, I will

1272
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 4: quit my job if Miami beats Philadelphia or Boston. All right,

1273
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 4: I will quite.

1274
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 2: In the country. So many people are now on NBA

1275
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 2: Shop or whatever it is right now buying merchandise.

1276
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 3: Some whiteouts right now.

1277
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's exactly right, Like I'm gonna find it.

1278
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 2: You're really gonna bet against Jimmy Butler.

1279
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the other First of all, let's be honest.

1280
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 4: I mean, Jimmy Butler was a no show. Not this

1281
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 4: last game, but game number five.

1282
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Oh, here's a show in one game where you.

1283
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 4: Could stop him, though, Jason, you can go ahead and

1284
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 4: do that when nobody else is going to pick it up.

1285
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 4: They've got good you know, they they've they've got They've

1286
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 4: done it with four guys that have been undrafted. So

1287
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 4: I give him a lot of credit credit. Matter of fact,

1288
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 4: I think Spolster was one of the most underrated code

1289
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 4: which he.

1290
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Had the best coach coach he's not. It's not even

1291
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 2: that he's underrated. I mean that's true outside of basketball

1292
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 2: circles where they know Spolster has been the best coach

1293
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 2: in the league for at least half a decade, if

1294
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 2: not longer. The problem for him was, and we talked

1295
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: about this last week, Garney, the problem is he wasn't

1296
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 2: gonna get any credit for coaching Lebron James and Dwayne

1297
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 2: Wade and Chris Bosh and he should have then. But

1298
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 2: if you see what he's been able to do since

1299
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 2: that point in time, there is no denying he's one

1300
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 2: of the finest professional coaches of the century in sport.

1301
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 8: Even then, do you think he still like loses some

1302
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 8: credit because pat Riley is.

1303
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely, because I mean pat Riley's a mastermind when it

1304
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 4: comes to basketball. I mean, obviously look what he did

1305
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 4: with the Lakers, and he still carries that over to Miami. Absolutely,

1306
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 4: that takes away from Spolster. Plus you still think about

1307
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 4: him as like a guy that was in the film

1308
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 4: room and.

1309
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, I take away from him, but like

1310
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 8: it takes some of the credit that he should be

1311
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 8: getting because people just look and say, oh, pat Riley mastermind.

1312
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 3: Again for the heat, it's.

1313
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 4: Like Jerry Jones fighting it with Jimmy Johnson, who deserves

1314
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 4: more credit for winning a super Bowl.

1315
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 2: So I just got to point this out before we

1316
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 2: get to this SEGA postseason this year for Jimmy Butler,

1317
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 2: who Arnie Spanier is poo pooing left and right here, Yes,

1318
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: and went bad performance ten games played so far in

1319
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 2: this postseason. Right, he's averaging thirty nine minutes a game. Yes,

1320
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 2: he's also averaging thirty one point one points per game.

1321
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Not bad this postseason? Not not bad, not bad.

1322
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 4: It's against the New York Knicks. He's not doing that

1323
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 4: against Philadelphia. Boss, then.

1324
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: I probably in the first round again.

1325
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 4: Trust me, he's not gonna go ahead and do it

1326
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 4: this time around.

1327
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, who are you doing against in the first

1328
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:51,439
Speaker 2: round again?

1329
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 4: Remember who they played?

1330
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 2: I think it's a Milwaukee Bucks.

1331
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 4: Milwaukee there weren't they the number one overall seat? Milwaukee

1332
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,439
Speaker 4: was number one. But you saw that they weren't playing

1333
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 4: as a number one.

1334
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 2: You saw that you have an answer for everything. I've

1335
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 2: got to get to the Sager so that what's going on?

1336
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,919
Speaker 7: Wow, there are a couple of great ap items after

1337
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 7: the Knicks got eliminated. One, it's fifty straight seasons without

1338
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 7: a title now for the New York Knicks, but on

1339
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 7: top of that, without even reaching the conference finals for

1340
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 7: twenty three straight seasons. The only other teams that haven't

1341
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 7: reached conference finals in that span Charlotte, New Orleans and Washington.

1342
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 7: And as they got eliminated, Julius Randall was three or

1343
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 7: fourteen shooting from the floor. I know he's had a

1344
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 7: few bad playoff games. This puts it in perspective. If

1345
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 7: you go back and make a list of all the

1346
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 7: players in the postseason the last fifty five years, guys

1347
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 7: that average, you know, they take ten shots a game

1348
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 7: in the playoffs regulars. It's a list of almost four

1349
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 7: hundred players. Julius Randall's thirty five percent shooting from the

1350
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 7: floor is the worst of all of them. No, since

1351
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 7: nineteen sixty eight, what in a series Associated Press career

1352
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 7: postseason if you play minimum ten playoff games? Absolutely, it

1353
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 7: was another called ps on that well, talk to Associated

1354
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 7: Press won another bad postseason shooting effort.

1355
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 4: Doesn't even sound that horrible.

1356
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 7: For the guys who take a lot of shots. The

1357
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 7: reason they take a lot of shots is because they

1358
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 7: don't shoot thirty five percent. Geez seems to go without.

1359
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 4: Saying anyway, called bs on that.

1360
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 7: Talk to AP. Phoenix Suns fired coach Monty Williams Now

1361
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 7: Chris Mannock's longtime NBA writer for SI, has this tweet.

1362
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 7: New owner Matt Ishbia pushed his front office to go

1363
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 7: all in for Kevin Durant in Phoenix, and he's just

1364
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 7: canned to coach that several teams will likely fight for

1365
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 7: in the coming days. Quote. Ishbia is a far far

1366
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 7: better owner than Robert Sarver there, but his inexperience and

1367
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 7: impatience is showing It was two straight years of just

1368
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,080
Speaker 7: a spectacular crash and burn at the end of the

1369
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 7: season for the Suns. Last year to Dallas, this year

1370
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 7: to Denver, where in an elimination game at home, the

1371
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 7: Suns were down thirty at a half. Back to back years,

1372
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 7: that's pretty good. Not so much back two years ago,

1373
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 7: of course, they made the NBA Finals. The Suns were

1374
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 7: in the Finals and up two games to none and

1375
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 7: then didn't win another game in the series. So Ishbia

1376
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 7: took over his new Sun's owner just a few months

1377
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 7: ago greenlit the trade to get Kevin Durant. It didn't

1378
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 7: work out, and now, as WOEGESPN points out, Manti Williams

1379
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 7: had three years left on his contract twenty million plus

1380
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 7: left on his deal. Not that the new owner probably

1381
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 7: cares about that, but Durant and Booker still under contract.

1382
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 7: But it's a massive payroll and limited flexibility.

1383
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 4: By the way, this just did on Twitter, Nature Boy says,

1384
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 4: don't let Sager disrespect your Knicks. Fire his butt. I

1385
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 4: may do that before the night's all right.

1386
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 7: Maybe that's right.

1387
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm the only disrespecting the Knicks or Arnie or they

1388
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 2: trying to make the anti Jimmy Butler Arnarlas.

1389
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 8: Has flipped from Eastern Conference finals to the only one

1390
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 8: we're supposed to win thirty games.

1391
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,439
Speaker 7: It's convenient, yes, By the way, I think the rest

1392
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 7: of the country has been quote disrespecting the Knicks just

1393
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 7: by speaking the truth about what has happened. There is,

1394
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 7: by the way, a Game seven in the East Boston

1395
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 7: Sunday hosting Philadelphia. The winner plays Miami in the East Finals.

1396
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 7: Stanley Cup Playoffs. Seattle won at home six ' three

1397
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 7: over Dallas. Game seven will be Monday in Dallas. Seattle

1398
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 7: won a game seven in the first round against defending

1399
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 7: champion Colorado. The late ballgame was in Colorado tonight and

1400
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 7: the Phillies won their fifth straight games, seven to four

1401
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 7: over the Rockies. Philadelphia gets its first series win at

1402
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 7: Colorado since twenty twelve, and Phillies catcher J. T rail

1403
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 7: Muto was out tonight with a finger injury, but the

1404
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 7: phil scored four runs top of the first and Bryce

1405
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 7: Harper had a late two run homer. Since his return,

1406
01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 7: he's batting three sixty one. Tonight's starting pitcher finally his

1407
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 7: season debut, Ranger Suarez, off the injured list. Four innings,

1408
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 7: three runs allowed, but at least he pitched. Suffered an

1409
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 7: elbow strain in the World Baseball Classic, finally gets in

1410
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 7: a Philly uniform. Arizona and the White Sox with wins

1411
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 7: Milwaukee as well. Baltimore sent Pittsburgh to a four straight

1412
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 7: loss to nothing. Dodgers won their fourth in a row

1413
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,600
Speaker 7: down in San Diego again four to two. Padres have

1414
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,560
Speaker 7: lost four straight and the Mets at Washington game was

1415
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 7: suspended by bad weather and an unplayable infield. It'll resume

1416
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 7: tomorrow no rain. Then they finally made the announcement to

1417
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 7: call it as fans had been waiting around some for

1418
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 7: about four hours, and said there will be no more

1419
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 7: baseball tonight. Come back tomorrow.

1420
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 4: They made it a day They made it a day

1421
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:43,480
Speaker 4: night doubleheader.

1422
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 7: They are making it separate entrance for tickets tomorrow Corisco.

1423
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 7: So if you waited four hours with no baseball tonight,

1424
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 7: you only get to return for the resumption of today's

1425
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 7: game that'll be played tomorrow.

1426
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 4: Mothers, they at least have to double adder real.

1427
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 7: The Washington six and thirteen.

1428
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous. It's really is ridicul You had a chance

1429
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 4: to maybe have people bring their mothers there. Or something

1430
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 4: like that.

1431
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 2: It's great watch, too bad based game.

1432
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 7: You just you don't have any space for people to

1433
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 7: stick around for the second game.

1434
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 2: That's that's disgraceful about the truly disgraceful. Uh, we are

1435
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 2: in the TIREC dot Com studios enough disrespect of the

1436
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Knicks at least for the next five seconds or so, Arenie,

1437
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 2: Arnie Spander, Jason Martin here with you. We appreciate the

1438
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 2: Segre will have a longer update with him in the

1439
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 2: third hour of the program, as we always do, look

1440
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: forward to that final segment with Steve, So Arnie, which

1441
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 2: way do you want to go with this before we

1442
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 2: move on? Is Jimmy Butler someone you can't believe in

1443
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 2: because he dominated the Knicks? Or No, I guess, I

1444
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 2: guess that's it? Like, no, no, what side of the

1445
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 2: the Knicks argument do you want to actually stay on

1446
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 2: for now until next season? It's not overachieved and that

1447
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 2: they stunk or that they were a good basketball team at.

1448
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 4: Something they did well. They did overachieve. I mean, the

1449
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 4: one Lass record according to Vegas was thirty eight, so

1450
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 4: no doubt they overachieved. There's no way fans or but

1451
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 4: about that and it's not so much against Jimmy Butler.

1452
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 4: It's so much that Philadelphia and Boston. Even though I

1453
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 4: thought the Knicks would put up a good fight against them,

1454
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 4: they're better teams and I don't think they're gonna be

1455
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 4: able to go ahead. And I'm talking about Miami keep

1456
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 4: up with those two teams. As matter of fact, I

1457
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 4: think Boston has so much offensive weapons and I could

1458
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 4: see just like twenty point routes of their games. Really,

1459
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 4: I really give ook. I give Miami credit for what

1460
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 4: they were able to do against Milwaukee in the next

1461
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 4: phenomenal job by Spolstra. But ay the clock strikes midnight,

1462
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 4: it is over for Miami in the next series.

1463
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 2: If you can do that to Milwaukee, you do it

1464
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 2: to Boston or Philadelphia.

1465
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 4: You would think. But Milwaukee wouldn't.

1466
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't just think. I mean, that's just the truth

1467
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 2: of the matter.

1468
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 4: You would think though, because Boston and Milwaukee, I mean,

1469
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 4: Milwaukee was not playing as good as Boston in Philadelphia.

1470
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, I will take Philadelphia and or

1471
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 4: Boston against Miami in the next round, and I say

1472
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 4: it's gonna be five or less.

1473
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 2: Okay. See, that's that's where that's where you lose me,

1474
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,560
Speaker 2: not that they couldn't win. I'm certainly not suggesting Miami's

1475
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,600
Speaker 2: a shoe in. I would still favor the other team

1476
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 2: because you're still looking at an eight seed, but.

1477
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 4: You don't think it's gonna be five games. You think

1478
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 4: it might go more than that.

1479
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 2: I just feel like Jimmy Butler alone is gonna find

1480
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 2: a way to keep it from being five. I mean,

1481
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 2: this was an eight seed that look he was hurt

1482
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 2: a lot during the year, but since he's been back,

1483
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 2: he's been sensational. It was a team that actually lost

1484
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 2: their first play in tournament game and I win the

1485
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 2: second one just to get into the postseason, and then

1486
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 2: they vanquished the Bucks to a degree that Mike Budenholz

1487
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: there lost his job. And Butler looked every bit the

1488
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 2: part that he looked a couple of seasons ago as well.

1489
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 2: He's been unreal. He's turned out to be like a

1490
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 2: crown jewel. When he looked like kind of a consolation

1491
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 2: prize for Miami when they didn't get Kevin Durant years ago.

1492
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 2: Butler has been phenomenal. Spolster's been phenomenal. Let's not forget

1493
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 2: they lost Tyler hero for the season early in that

1494
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 2: Buck series. Now, if Jannis doesn't get hurt at all

1495
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 2: in that series, I don't know what ends up happening,

1496
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 2: But that's a what if scenario.

1497
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 4: Well that's a big difference there.

1498
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 2: Well, it's not that he didn't play, it's just how

1499
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 2: much of him and was lost there. I mean, but

1500
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 2: Embiid's been hurt too, So how much? How how how

1501
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 2: healthy is EMBIID if it turns out to be them.

1502
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 4: Well, let me give you four letters. I'm not even

1503
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 4: gonna give you one word. I'll give you four letters

1504
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 4: which you convetely left out if you know the next series,

1505
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 4: and that's DPO Wide Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart.

1506
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 4: You know, if he doesn't, I think you could do

1507
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 4: a good job. Let's say Jimmy Butler while him and

1508
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 4: Brown go off. That's why it's not even gonna be close.

1509
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 4: You gonna have a better defensive team going up against

1510
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler.

1511
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 2: Wasn't Julius Randall Jewish Randall's third team All Defense.

1512
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 4: He was thirt team All Defense. Just he was out there.

1513
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 4: But Julius was hurt too in the bad ankle. That

1514
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 4: that really hurt him at the end of the year.

1515
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 4: He heard it twice at the end of the year,

1516
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,879
Speaker 4: where I think he missed what four or five games,

1517
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 4: missed a couple of weeks there, and then he heard

1518
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 4: it in the playoffs, so he heard it twice. He

1519
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:26,520
Speaker 4: wasn't one hundred.

1520
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: Knicks fans, not real big fans of Julius Randold from

1521
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 2: what I've seen, No.

1522
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:34,959
Speaker 4: They were. That was just disgusting, burning his posters, stomping

1523
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 4: on it, embarrassing. He was a big part of the

1524
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 4: team this year. Look, sometimes you have the offense gets

1525
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 4: bogged down, he has big turnovers and I understand that

1526
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunts had a big turnover when we were only

1527
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 4: down by two, but that doesn't mean we're gonna run

1528
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 4: him out of town.

1529
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 2: Turnover.

1530
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's game five. It just happened, and I think

1531
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 4: people are are really play I mean, Julius Randall too much.

1532
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 4: It's kind of embarrassing. What's going on.

1533
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean somebody's gonna have to be the scapegoat.

1534
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with the Suns. And you heard

1535
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 2: that tweet that the Sega referenced from Chris Mannix, who's

1536
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 2: one of the best in the biz covering the NBA,

1537
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 2: and he's right, matt Ishbia is very aggressive. He's acting

1538
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 2: like this is the business world and the way he

1539
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 2: kind of attacked it as an entrepreneur. This is a

1540
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,719
Speaker 2: guy that played college hoops at Michigan State for Tom Izzo.

1541
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 2: He's come in, he's tried to rip the ball away

1542
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 2: from Jokic and gotten into that. He went and went

1543
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 2: all in to get Kevin Durant, including wagering a lot

1544
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 2: of depth and a lot of defense. It doesn't work out,

1545
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 2: and now Money Williams is gone. And the point that

1546
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 2: I think is the most apt from Mannix and the

1547
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 2: same thing I thought of is Money Williams gonna be

1548
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 2: out of work for like five seconds, like he's gonna

1549
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 2: be able to pick a job and it's still gonna

1550
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 2: be a good job wherever it is. It is not

1551
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 2: going to be a terrible franchise that he goes. There

1552
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 2: are teams, I'll bet you there are multiple playoff teams

1553
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 2: that are right now, can we dump our guy and

1554
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 2: get money? Is it possible that money's available? And I

1555
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 2: don't think that many. I think money deserves a little

1556
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 2: bit of culpability for what happened. When we come back,

1557
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,799
Speaker 2: though we will finish this hour, We're gonna talk some NFL.

1558
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 2: In our number three, there's still a lot going on.

1559
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 2: We talked about Julius Randall, what about Kenyon Martin and

1560
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 2: what he had to say about Julius Randall after the

1561
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 2: game they won. Back in Game five, Julius Randall did

1562
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 2: something after the win that bothered Kenyon Martin. We'll tell

1563
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,639

1577
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 2: you know, it is a sports show. We have to

1578
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 2: talk about what actually happens in the fantasyland where the

1579
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 2: Knicks actually win championships. So on Wednesday night, they did

1580
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 2: beat the Heat, beat the Heat, and they forced Game six.

1581
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 2: You sent me this, I had not seen it. So

1582
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 2: Julius Randall, after the wind goes and finds his wife Kendra,

1583
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 2: and they kiss, They embrace, and they kiss. Kenyon Martin

1584
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 2: said he was quote by this, according to Fox News,

1585
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 2: by Randall seeing his wife shortly after the clockheads, heeros.

1586
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 2: He says, we just got done playing a hard fag

1587
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 2: game in a playoff series, and the first thing this

1588
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 2: guy does is goes and kisses his wife. That's the

1589
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 2: first thing you do. Where is your mind at the

1590
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 2: very first thing he did? Dog when the game was over,

1591
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 2: That's what he said to Gilbert Arinez on his podcast.

1592
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 2: I am sitting there watching the game with my wife.

1593
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 2: I'm like, I love you to death, but ain't no

1594
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 2: way in that incident. I'm not gonna be with my guys.

1595
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 2: We just got done winning. I'm not even thinking about

1596
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 2: you unquote your thoughts on Kenyon Martin's thoughts on your

1597
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 2: boy Julius rant Well.

1598
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 4: I think one, that's absolutely ridiculous that he's gonna make

1599
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 4: a big thing that he went to kiss his wife too.

1600
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 4: I'm not even sure that's absolutely true, because I was

1601
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,799
Speaker 4: watching the end of the game, and I believe Julius Randall.

1602
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 4: A couple of guys from Miami said good game, and

1603
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 4: Julius maybe give him like a fist bump or a

1604
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 4: handshake or something. It wasn't like a line because you

1605
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 4: still had a you know, a game six coming up,

1606
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 4: so and he did say good games and some of

1607
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 4: his teammates as he was walking off the court, So

1608
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 4: it wasn't like clock said zero. And he made a

1609
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 4: bee line for his wife that I didn't see. And

1610
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 4: even though if he did that not that big of

1611
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 4: a deal anyway. I mean, come on, now, he did

1612
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 4: his part on the court the Knicks one. If you

1613
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 4: want to celebrate body go because of your wife.

1614
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 2: So be it.

1615
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 4: I have no problem with.

1616
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 2: That at all, you know me either, I mean I

1617
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 2: just kind of look at it. I can understand sort

1618
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 2: of where Kenny Martin's coming from as an athlete. But

1619
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 2: pretty sure Kevin Durant always finds his mom really fast after.

1620
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely pretty sure.

1621
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 2: John Moran finds his dad after every game that he plays.

1622
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 4: Lebron finds his celebrities after the game, that's for sure.

1623
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 2: You know. I just kinda look at Julis Randall's also

1624
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 2: Julius Randall really loves his wife, so he goes and

1625
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 2: finds her in this moment of celebration and he kisses

1626
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 2: his wife, and that's where we're gonna dog him out

1627
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 2: like that. It just kind of ranked false to me,

1628
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 2: And I understand again Kenny is saying, I'm watching a

1629
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 2: game and I love her to death and all this

1630
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, but i gotta be with my guys,

1631
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 2: and I'm not even thinking about my wife. They're very

1632
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 2: few moments where my wife is not pretty close to

1633
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 2: front of mine. For me, like even as I'm hosting

1634
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 2: the radio show, I'm thinking about our family. There are

1635
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 2: certain things that there are certain things that supersede, like

1636
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,799
Speaker 2: what's more important in the grand scheme of your life

1637
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 2: that you're with your guys in that moment after a game.

1638
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 2: It's not even like a close out game. It's not

1639
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 2: like the Nicks advanced or won a championship or something

1640
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 2: like that. They stayed alive and he went over and

1641
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 2: he kissed his wife, and that drew the ire of

1642
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 2: Kenyon Martin. I just I don't get it, Arnie. I

1643
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 2: just felt like, that's just one. Just keep that one

1644
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 2: to yourself. I know, when you go on these podcasts

1645
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: you start shooting off at the mouth and you say

1646
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: stuff that one just reads like, why are we even

1647
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 2: talking about this?

1648
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 9: Right?

1649
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 4: I know we're short on time, but I want to

1650
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 4: say our biggest victory ever when USA went ahead and

1651
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 4: won and then we won the gold medal and Jim Craig,

1652
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 4: draped in the USA flag, was looking up into the

1653
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 4: stands for his family, for his father. So I mean,

1654
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 4: our biggest moment. And still people want to go ahead

1655
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 4: and look for their family, look for their you know,

1656
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 4: their significant other. And that's what he did. No big deal.

1657
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,400

01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 2: It was great, Yes, very very good by them. Last year,

1677
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 2: I think the Chargers might have had might have taken

1678
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 2: the cake. There were a couple that were pretty good

1679

Speaker 2: last year, but everybody's really stepping up their game and

1680
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 2: trying a lot. There were some that didn't work last year,

1681
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 2: and you know, sometimes there's gonna be a swing and

1682
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 2: a miss. Let's just be real. But NFL schedule becomes

1683
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 2: a thing, and all we're doing is looking at games

1684
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: that are gonna happen, and by the time they happen,

1685
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 2: we don't know who's gonna be hurt. Hopefully everybody's gonna

1686
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 2: be healthy, but we know we live in a world

1687
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 2: in which that's not probably going to be the case. Right,

1688
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 2: So let's let's talk your Dolphins fan. Let's start there

1689
01:21:58,080 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 2: in the East, not with the Dolphins. Let's start with

1690
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 2: the team in the East everyone is talking about right now,

1691
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 2: which is the Jets. Right, Jets have five prime time

1692
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 2: games and in Week one it's Jets Bills, And you've

1693
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 2: got all these people saying this cann be one of

1694
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:15,879
Speaker 2: the best matchups of the year. I know you, Arnie,

1695
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 2: and so I actually think you're gonna agree with me

1696
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 2: on this. I'm gonna need to see it with the

1697
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 2: Jets before I just penciled them in to be one

1698
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 2: of the best teams in the league. Like, I don't

1699
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 2: think that we recognize, and by we, I just mean

1700
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 2: everybody in a country. I don't think we recognize yet

1701
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers might not exactly be the Aaron Rodgers.

1702
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 2: You think he is because we're five years past that guy.

1703
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,599
Speaker 2: We're at least two years past that guy, and he's

1704
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 2: walking in to play a Bills team that's gonna be

1705
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 2: all kinds of ready to shut people's mouths because they're

1706
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 2: still sore that they underachieved last year.

1707
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 4: I agree with you one hundred percent. And you know

1708
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 4: everybody talks about how weak the AMC East is, think

1709
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 4: about this, if the conference, if the division is so weak,

1710
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 4: the last place team has built. I bella check at

1711
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 4: the Patriots, So I don't know a last place team

1712
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,839
Speaker 4: that has that much cachet like Bill Belichick at the Patriots.

1713
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 4: But I was watching Colin when the schedule came out,

1714
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 4: and he happened to put out the schedule for the Jets,

1715
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 4: and you know, it wasn't something I was planning on

1716
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 4: talking about or anything like that, but he just happened

1717
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 4: to have up the game the schedules, and then he

1718
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 4: had when they had the break. So I was looking

1719
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 4: at the first six games until they had the break,

1720
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 4: and I'm saying to myself, well, they got the Bills

1721
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 4: at home, that's probably gonna be a loss. They gotta

1722
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 4: go to Dallas that's a loss. I'll have the Patriots

1723
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 4: at home, probably a win, home against the Chiefs, a

1724
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 4: loss at Denver, a loss, and then home against the

1725
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 4: Philadelphia another loss. I said they're gonna be lucky to

1726
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 4: start off one in five if they're lucky. If they're lucky,

1727
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 4: they could I mean, they could even be Owen six.

1728
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 4: That schedule is murderous. I put that out on Twitter,

1729
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 4: and it just was a storm of people thinking I

1730
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 4: was absolutely crazy. At least ninety percent of the people

1731
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 4: thought I was crazy. I'm with you on this. I

1732
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 4: think that schedule is so murderous. It's gonna be tough

1733
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 4: going far and Rogers to start things off.

1734
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 2: I will say this one in five is a little

1735
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 2: bit further than I would go. I think it's probably

1736
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 2: more like three and three. I hope that you're right

1737
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 2: about your optimism about my Denver Broncos.

1738
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 4: But it's in Denver, yeah, I know.

1739
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 2: And it's better there, but it wasn't good anywhere last year.

1740
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 2: I'm very happy about the Sean Payton Husk. That's gonna

1741
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 2: make a big time difference. I just want to see it.

1742
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that very loudly. I just

1743
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 2: kind of want to casually say, let's see what Denver

1744
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,719
Speaker 2: is this year. Dallas you never know, like you're going

1745
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 2: to Dallas, so you think one thing, but Dallas can

1746
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 2: really surprise you. I don't. I mean, who was saying

1747
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 2: the AFC East is a bad division. We're saying people

1748
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 2: are calling it a weak division. I mean, Miami is

1749
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 2: loaded with talent. Their question mark is whether or not

1750
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 2: your quarterback can stay upright, You've got Aaron Rodgers joining

1751
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 2: a pretty good receiving corps. You got a real stud

1752
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 2: and Carrett Wilson. They've got a good, solid d. The

1753
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 2: whole reason they needed to make this move for Aaron

1754
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 2: Rodgers is because you could argue they are a quarterback away,

1755
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 2: especially with Breis Hall coming back off that injury. The

1756
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 2: Bills were your de facto Super Bowl favorites last year. Yeah,

1757
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 2: but I don't think they're not going to drop off

1758
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 2: a cliff. They haven't won it, but that's not week.

1759
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 4: Matter of fact. A couple of years ago they were

1760
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 4: just what seven and five going into the last six

1761
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 4: games or something to that effect, so it wasn't like

1762
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 4: they were dominating everything. And plus they never did win

1763
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 4: it yet, so you know, if you're talking about a

1764
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 4: team that you think is, you know, on top. I

1765
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 4: think anybody could challenge for that division. Sure, Miami's a

1766
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 4: lot better, and I like them a lot, but there's

1767
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 4: still what four or five teams in the AFC ranked

1768
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 4: higher them for Super Bowl odds even and look, let's

1769
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 4: face it, the Jets are going to be borderline playoff team.

1770
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,719
Speaker 4: They'll be right there at the end if if people

1771
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 4: are right, I think it's gonna be worse. I think

1772
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 4: there'll be some five hundred, but they could be, you know,

1773
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 4: right above that.

1774
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they were borderline playoffs last year. They

1775
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 2: just didn't have a I mean that was literally it.

1776
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 2: So unless Aaron Rodgers turns out not to be an

1777
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 2: upgrade over Zach Wilson, Mike White, and Chris Streveler, you

1778
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 2: would think, barring injuries, the Jets their floor is making

1779
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I don't know how high their ceiling is,

1780
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 2: but I would be if I was a Jets fan

1781
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 2: and we didn't make the playoffs next year, I would

1782
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,799
Speaker 2: start to wonder if it was ever gonna happen again,

1783
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 2: because it does seem like this would be the year

1784
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 2: because of that division. Yeah, I still would favor the Bills,

1785
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 2: but Miami does have a few question marks. New England

1786
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 2: we don't even need to discuss, Like that's not a

1787
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 2: thing that needs to be talking about.

1788
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 4: It's the big question of mark on Miami. Happened to

1789
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 4: be the biggest position is a creed, So I mean,

1790
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 4: you know that that's a big question mark coming into

1791
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 4: the season. I love Tua. I thought his numbers were

1792
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 4: really good before he went out with the concussion, so

1793
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 4: hopefully he could stay healthy. And I think Miami was

1794
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 4: a a lot.

1795
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 2: Of people, but I do think I mean the Jets

1796
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,680
Speaker 2: in primetime five times, right, The only issue there is

1797
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 2: what I mean, I mean everything is everything's kind of

1798
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 2: centered around the injury bug. If you lose Aaron Rodgers,

1799
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, nobody wants to see the Jets.

1800
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 2: Broncos had a ton of primetime games last year and

1801
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 2: then no one wanted to watch them at all because

1802
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 2: it turned out to be so bad. Even with Russell Wilson.

1803
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 2: You thought that was gonna be a smart move and

1804
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 2: it turned out not to be. But if the Jets

1805
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 2: ended up getting off to a one in five start,

1806
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 2: eventually that's gonna have diminishing returns. I don't think it's

1807
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 2: I don't think that's possible. I mean it is because

1808
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 2: they have to play the games, and it is conceivable, right,

1809
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 2: But I think three and three is much more likely.

1810
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 2: We just have to see how dialed in. I think

1811
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 2: you're gonna be able to tell a lot by how

1812
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 2: dialed in Aaron Rodgers is in June and July. This

1813
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 2: is not the year where he can skip everything and

1814
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 2: show up in August, like he's done that in Green

1815
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 2: Bay for a couple of years. At the very least,

1816
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 2: he was familiar with the organization. They made a mistake

1817
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 2: last year. He did if he cared about winning by

1818
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 2: not being around those receivers earlier, not working with them earlier,

1819
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 2: and getting familiar, especially with no DeVante Adams. He owed

1820
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 2: that if he was gonna actually go chase the Super Bowl,

1821
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 2: that's what it was gonna require. If he styled in

1822
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 2: and cares, that's gonna spell good things for the Jets.

1823
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: If he still wish you washing and we're talking about

1824
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 2: it in mid August and he hasn't really worked out

1825
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 2: with these guys and all that, then we're gonna be

1826
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 2: able to go right back to the same argument of

1827
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 2: does he even really care? Is this just a one

1828
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 2: in done scenario and he's gonna walk away out how

1829
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 2: many games? Or does he care? And does he want

1830
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 2: a second Super Bowl to join that elite club? Jason?

1831
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 4: How many games has he won because of the great

1832
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 4: home field advantages up there in Green Bay, Wisconsin with

1833
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 4: the weather and the cold and the snow and the

1834
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 4: fans out there, Because you're not getting that in New

1835
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 4: York with the Jets. Jay, you do have a good

1836
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 4: fan base, but you're not getting the fan base you

1837
01:28:55,680 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 4: are in Green Bay. You're not get the isolation, get

1838
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 4: any miserable weather most of the time like you do

1839
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 4: up there in Green Bay. I just don't think you're

1840
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 4: getting that home field advantage. I'm like you've had for

1841
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 4: all those years.

1842
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 2: So are you saying that Aaron Rodgers is overrated because

1843
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:14,520
Speaker 2: he played in Green Bay.

1844
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,639
Speaker 4: Or because he only had one Super Bowl win? Wouldn't

1845
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 4: that be a better way of saying he's overrated or not?

1846
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but that wasn't the argument you were just making.

1847
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, pick your choice on why he's overrated.

1848
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't doesn't make it different. I do think he's overrated, though, I.

1849
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 2: Mean I've already gone on record before the end of

1850
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: last year and said he's won his last Super Bowl. Yeah,

1851
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to the Jets and winning

1852
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. I know there are people out there

1853
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 2: that that might try to get there. I can't get there.

1854
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 5: Now.

1855
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:42,639
Speaker 2: He goes out and he's the MVP of the league

1856
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 2: this year. I think people saw Tom Brady and they

1857
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,720
Speaker 2: now think that's some kind of blueprint, right right, No,

1858
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 2: that's Tom Brady, Like that's a that's a completely different world.

1859
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 2: And he brought in his guys, and yes, the Jets

1860
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 2: have brought in Randall Cobb and they've got Lazard, who look,

1861
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a nice piece for them because he

1862
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be their number one and he is

1863
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 2: a solid receiver. He's getting guys he's familiar with, that

1864
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 2: he can trust, he knows what they're gonna bring to

1865
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 2: the locker room, all of those kinds of things. You

1866
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 2: gotta make sure Aaron Rodgers is happy, because if he's not,

1867
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 2: that's not gonna work out well for anybody anyway. Right,

1868
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 2: But this is either gonna go real real good or

1869
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 2: real real bad. And if it go and if you

1870
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 2: could start to see that he's checked out by mid October.

1871
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,000
Speaker 2: You got a real problem on your hands if you're

1872
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 2: the Jets and if you're the television partners that are

1873
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 2: trying to make this interesting down the stretch. What else

1874
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 2: looking at the schedule release jumps out to you are.

1875
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,640
Speaker 4: Well real quick, this came in on Twitter, Rosie and

1876
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 4: Fernie said the Jets are fourteen and one to win

1877
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 4: the division. He wants to put one thousand dollars on it.

1878
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 4: Fourteen to one. I didn't know it was that bad.

1879
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 4: Matter of fact, they just pulled it up on one

1880
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 4: of the websites. One of them has it twenty to

1881
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 4: one to go ahead and just win the AFC East.

1882
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 4: Now that has some good value there.

1883
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 2: You know.

1884
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 4: I'm not saying they're gonna do it, but not some

1885
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,000
Speaker 4: good value there, Jason in twenty to one, if you

1886
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 4: want to put down some de narros on that.

1887
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, when the Jets had a good team last year.

1888
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 2: The the Bills haven't really lost anything, but have they

1889
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 2: gained anything? Like you're talking We're looking at Doc Rivers

1890
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 2: and Monty Williams. We're talking about all these jobs in

1891
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 2: the NBA. Sean McDermott May be coaching for his job

1892
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 2: this year, which sounds crazy considering how successful he's been, right,

1893
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 2: but he ain't been successful in the playoffs, and I

1894
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 2: know that Josh Allen. Eventually you'll start to talk about

1895
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen that way. Although the game they lost to

1896
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, he just had to sit there and watch

1897
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in overtime after he played a nearly perfect

1898
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 2: game last year or two seasons ago. I guess I

1899
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 2: should say I think that looking at it from that perspective,

1900
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 2: that division is like solid right now. I think he's

1901
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 2: got a couple of years if McDermot it fails to

1902
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:05,280
Speaker 2: get to the conference championship again, unless Josh Allen has

1903
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 2: like broken his leg or something like that, or you've

1904
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:11,960
Speaker 2: lost Stefon Diggs for half the season, I don't think

1905
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 2: that the Bills can afford to keep bringing Sean McDermott

1906
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 2: back like eventually. Okay, the ceiling for this guy is

1907
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 2: an awesome regular season. He's a great coach, and he's

1908
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:23,799
Speaker 2: gonna land somewhere else. But we might need to actually

1909
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 2: go in a different direction to step forward. Sean McDermott

1910
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 2: might just be that guy. He might be the guy

1911
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 2: that gets you close, but he can't seem to get

1912
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:36,280
Speaker 2: the job done. Ultimately when he comes to the playoffs,

1913
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 2: and if you're not winning in the playoffs as a coach,

1914
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:39,839
Speaker 2: usually that's a death.

1915
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 4: Now, especially when you've had a quarterback. I have to

1916
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 4: agree with you. We'll have to see what they do

1917
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 4: this year, obviously, but when you have that type of

1918
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,960
Speaker 4: talent around you, and you're the favorite to win the

1919
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 4: AFC East and perhaps the favorite to win the AFC

1920
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:55,600
Speaker 4: and go to the Super Bowl, you've got to go

1921
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,639
Speaker 4: ahead and finally show everybody that you're ready to take

1922
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 4: that next step. And how many years are you going

1923
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 4: to get? Well, they say, hey, you know what, enough

1924
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 4: is enough? We have a franchise quarterback. We want to

1925
01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 4: go in a different direction right now.

1926
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I don't think I think McDermott would

1927
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 2: probably find himself onto a sideline relatively fast. Certainly as

1928
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 2: a coordinator if you wanted to, you get it instantly. Worse,

1929
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 2: you can find the dam Quinn spot. No, absolutely, I'm

1930
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:24,719
Speaker 2: just if the Bills underperform in any way or don't

1931
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,560
Speaker 2: go anywhere in the postseason, this is just going to

1932
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,800
Speaker 2: be another year where Bills fans are just gonna be like,

1933
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 2: this team is a tease and they're talked about and

1934
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,400
Speaker 2: they're hyped up, and eventually you have to back that up.

1935
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 2: And I think that if you look at Monty Williams

1936
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 2: and you look at Sean McDermott, there there are a

1937
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:47,599
Speaker 2: lot of similarities to be found between those two. Now,

1938
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 2: it's a different sport, different owners, different decision makers, all

1939
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 2: of that. So there's things that we don't know about

1940
01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 2: to go into it. But if you look at it,

1941
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 2: the way teams are built and how fast guys seem

1942
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 2: to lose jobs these days, Oh correct, I could easily

1943
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 2: see Sean McDermott having a lot of pressure on him

1944
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 2: if that division is a dogfight and they have any

1945
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 2: kind of struggle down the stretch. We'll come back. We'll

1946
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 2: talk more about the NFL schedule. We'll look at the

1947
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:16,720
Speaker 2: Eagles in the NFC, who we've already said, we talked

1948
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 2: about on this show for weeks. Who else the NFC

1949
01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 2: do you really even like right now? This feels like

1950
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles are such a favorite in that conference. Well,

1951
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 2: the schedule's not gonna make you think anything different. We'll

1952
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,599
Speaker 2: talk about Philly and whether or not they can find

1953
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:34,759
Speaker 2: their way back to a Super Bowl next year. That's next.

1954
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 2: It is Fox Sports Saturday with Arnie Spanier and Jason

1955

Speaker 2: dot com. Slash match. So we're talking about the NFL schedule, yeah,

1963
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:13,720
Speaker 2: and just things that are going on. And we talked

1964
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 2: about the AFC East. Let's talk about the NFC East

1965
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 2: for just a bid here. The Philadelphia Eagles. I just

1966
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 2: feel like they're so much more complete than the rest

1967
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 2: of the conference. But if you actually read into it,

1968
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:30,799
Speaker 2: the NFC East as a whole, as a division, everybody

1969
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 2: trending above five hundred last year. You've got the Commanders

1970
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 2: with a new lease on life, a story we haven't

1971
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 2: gotten to talk about yet with the new ownership coming

1972
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 2: in and Dan Snyder actually going away finally from the

1973
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:44,759
Speaker 2: franchise and whatever that's going to mean for the future.

1974
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:47,400
Speaker 2: A lot of things left to be determined in Dallas

1975
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:49,639
Speaker 2: and what's going to happen there. And then a Giants

1976
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 2: team that if I asked you the question, aren't Hee

1977
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:55,719
Speaker 2: the team that I am expecting to regress? It's the Giants.

1978
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 2: Lot people see it be on the other side of that,

1979
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 2: but I think it's going I think they're the one

1980
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:01,639
Speaker 2: that's right for the fall.

1981
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,840
Speaker 4: I agree with Jo hundred percent on that. Everything kind

1982
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,640
Speaker 4: of felt the right way. Remember Bernie Frattle telling me

1983
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 4: last year when we were doing the Who's Gonna go

1984
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 4: from worse the first and not that we thought that

1985
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 4: the you know, Giants were gonna be like one of

1986
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 4: the favorites. But they had a very easy schedule. Things

1987
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 4: were kind of like it was a perfect storm for them.

1988
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 4: We thought that, you know, they are a team that

1989
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:25,880
Speaker 4: could win and maybe make it into the playoffs. And

1990
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 4: sure enough, they won nine games, but they weren't that good.

1991
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 4: They were a minus in the plus minus scoring a

1992
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 4: differential there. So they were lucky with the schedule and

1993
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 4: things kind of fell into the lap. I don't think

1994
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 4: that's gonna happen this time around either Jason.

1995
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 2: So their first six games, they open up against Dallas

1996
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night football.

1997
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 4: Well, that's a loss probably.

1998
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do get them at home, but that's that's

1999
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 2: a game that probably could go either way, but it's

2000
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 2: certainly not when you would pencil in as a win. Right,

2001
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 2: they go to Arizona, they should win that game, but

2002
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 2: they are going to the West Coast.

2003
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 4: Arizona's horrible.

2004
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're terrible at the Niners. I'm gonna say that's

2005
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 2: a loss. Right, that's on the road in San Francisco.

2006
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 2: We got to see what happens to the quarterback situation

2007
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 2: in San fran But you like everything else about that.

2008
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 4: Well, they got three of them, So whoever they pick,

2009
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:16,600
Speaker 4: it's fine with me.

2010
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:19,400
Speaker 2: They still got Christian McCaffrey, they still got those receivers,

2011
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 2: and they've still got that defense. Then they play Seattle

2012
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:28,719
Speaker 2: on Monday night football. That's no gimme by any means.

2013
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,640
Speaker 2: With the way the Seahawks looked last year, they're a

2014
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 2: team that I don't They're not gonna sneak up on

2015
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:35,639
Speaker 2: people the way that maybe they did last season.

2016
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 4: Only one shame on, you fool me twice. Shame on me.

2017
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 4: I just don't see it at me. Again, I'm surprised

2018
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:42,960
Speaker 4: they even went nine to eight. I thought they were

2019
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 4: gonna be a horrible team last year. Well maybe, yeah,

2020
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,800
Speaker 4: maybe I'm a year too early, but you know, prove

2021
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:50,840
Speaker 4: me wrong again. Let's see what you've got.

2022
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 2: All right, So we can give them Cardinals, and you're

2023
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 2: gonna give them Seahawks. I'll go with you on that

2024
01:37:57,439 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 2: and say they're two and two right there. Then they

2025
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 2: go to Miami and then they go to Buffalo, and

2026
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 2: that's their first six games. That's probably two and four.

2027
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 2: Even if you say, all right, so they if they

2028
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 2: beat the Seahawks, they lose to Miami. If they lose

2029
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 2: to the Seahawks, they probably win one of those two

2030
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:19,240
Speaker 2: games after somehow, right, But of those six, if you

2031
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,759
Speaker 2: start two and four and then you play Washington, which

2032
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say, that's a gimme, and then you

2033
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 2: play the Jets, that's your first eight. I just had

2034
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:35,000
Speaker 2: that schedule alone and say to myself, I know people

2035
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 2: are claiming this is gonna be a photo finish. I

2036
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 2: even saw it described as such in one piece about

2037
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 2: the NFC East between them and the Eagles, because they

2038
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 2: meet the Eagles twice in the final three weeks of

2039
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 2: the season. Wow, And it's sort of rare, and it's

2040
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 2: gonna be for all the marbles, and one of them

2041
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 2: is a Christmas Night game, and you expect the division

2042
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 2: to come down to those two games. I don't know

2043
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 2: if the Giants are still gonna be in position to

2044
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 2: win the division by the time they go They won't.

2045
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 4: No, they're not going to that's could have happened. I

2046
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 4: don't even know if they're gonna be in a playoff

2047
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 4: run by the time those those games come around. Look,

2048
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 4: I know they're gonna gohead and bring Daniel Jones back,

2049
01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 4: but I just don't have a lot of confidence in him,

2050
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:12,679
Speaker 4: to be honest. They know we had a pretty decent year,

2051
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 4: but again, everything kind of fell right for him. I

2052
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 4: think the Eagles in Dallas are head and shoulders better

2053
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 4: than everybody else. I want to see what the Commanders

2054
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 4: are gonna be. I'm still got a question mark on them.

2055
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, I've got a question mark on

2056
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 2: him too. But they they have a solid head coach

2057
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 2: and they're gonna play I do think they're gonna play

2058
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 2: fairly disciplined football for the most part. But if you

2059
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 2: look at for the let's look at the Eagles schedule

2060
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 2: real fast. They open up against New England on the road.

2061
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:42,880
Speaker 2: They should win that game. They play Minnesota. Minnesota is

2062
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 2: another team I don't expect to do what they did

2063
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 2: last year because you don't win that level of close games.

2064
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't do that, especially with a minus. I've

2065
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 4: never seen a team win thirteen games being in a

2066
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:57,680
Speaker 4: minus and the plus minus differential.

2067
01:39:57,760 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. The reason why is because it makes no sense

2068
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 2: and that's not a thing that happens. Then they go

2069
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 2: to Tampa. Tampa is not going to be anything at

2070
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 2: all this year. I would think they play Washington after that.

2071
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 2: It's divisional. It'll probably be an ugly game, but you

2072
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:13,760
Speaker 2: could easily see them being four and oh. To start

2073
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 2: the year, they go to the Rams. Rams are not

2074
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 2: quite the same anymore either, but that's a tough game

2075
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 2: and it could be a big game. Then they play

2076
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 2: at the Jets, which that'll be a big.

2077
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,759
Speaker 4: Game, especially Wow, go ahead.

2078
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 2: Then they play Miami. So now are we sixteen and

2079
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 2: one since you're a Dolphins. Then they do have a

2080
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 2: stretch between November the fifth and December the tenth, bookended

2081
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 2: by two games with Dallas where between them at Chiefs

2082
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 2: Bills forty nine ers, those are all pretty tough games

2083
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 2: because you're playing the first play schedule. If you're the

2084
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 2: Eagles this year, you have to your last three games

2085
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:59,919
Speaker 2: of the year versus the Giants, versus Arizona at the Giants.

2086
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 2: I looked at that Giant schedule and I still think

2087
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles are a really good football team that are

2088
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 2: not gonna fall off a cliff because they lost a

2089
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 2: Super Bowl where their quarterback probably outplayed the guy who

2090
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 2: actually won the Super Bowl right right is close at

2091
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 2: least they both were really really good. But outside of

2092
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 2: one fumble, you couldn't have asked for much more than

2093
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 2: you got from Jalen Hurtz Philadelphia to me, and you

2094
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:27,679
Speaker 2: could go with san fran But the problem there is Arnie,

2095
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 2: I just don't know what's gonna happen at quarterback, and

2096
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,439
Speaker 2: the brock Purty thing is that going to translate in

2097
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:37,080
Speaker 2: year two? The thing about it is with Kyle Shanahan,

2098
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,240
Speaker 2: usually it doesn't matter who's playing quarterback because of everything

2099
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 2: else he does in the way he schemes and the

2100
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 2: way that that defense played for Demiko Ryans, who is

2101
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 2: no longer there, and maybe that'll have an effect. Probably not.

2102
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 2: They have a lot of talent there, But outside those

2103
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 2: two teams in the NFC, I don't feel particularly good

2104
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:54,960
Speaker 2: about anybody.

2105
01:41:55,000 --> 01:42:00,799
Speaker 4: Can you tell me what definite that the brock perty's

2106
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 4: a starting quarterback in the NFL?

2107
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen it.

2108
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 4: We've know you've seen the small sample size of what

2109
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 4: he's able to do out there. You know, is he

2110
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 4: really that good? Is he a starter there? Is he

2111
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 4: supposed to replace other guys that you've traded up for

2112
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 4: in the draft drafts before? Just have a quarterback?

2113
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2114
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 4: It's gonna be interesting to see what he's gonna be

2115
01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:25,759
Speaker 4: able to pull this year when he gets back from injury.

2116
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's fair. Let's go to de

2117
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 2: Sagar now I think we might have a caller on

2118
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 2: the other side. Well, well, if you're on hold, stay there,

2119
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,040
Speaker 2: we'll get to you, or you can join us at

2120
01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 2: ninety nine on box. Let's go to to Sager. Now,

2121
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:37,640
Speaker 2: what's up?

2122
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 7: Seat he l twenty three NFL team started their rookie

2123
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 7: mating camps yesterday. Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is out after

2124
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 7: a back procedure. Buffalo Bill signed first round tight end

2125
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 7: Dalton Kincaid, and the Texans signed defensive back Shaquille Griffin,

2126
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 7: who played for Jacksonville the past two years. No NBA

2127
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 7: games today, but the Phoenix Suns fired their head coach

2128
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 7: Tonight yes with a new owner. Monty Williams is out.

2129
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 7: He just won the West with the Suns two years ago.

2130
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:04,439

2170
01:45:11,640 --> 01:45:13,559

Speaker 2: up in the final segment of this hour. Stick around

2183
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 2: for that. We were talking about the Seahawks. If we

2184
01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 2: have a caller on the line actually from the state

2185
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,920
Speaker 2: of Washington that wants to talk about the Seahawks. One

2186
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 2: thing I wanted to mention before we get to Dennis

2187
01:45:56,720 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: in Washington is Spittenjigba added to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

2188
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 2: That's a gross receiving course, it is.

2189
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 4: It's phenomenal. It's absolutely phenomenal. Gino too, Is he gonna

2190
01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 4: be able to do it again this year? Get them

2191
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,880
Speaker 4: the ball? I doubted them last year. I don't know

2192
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 4: if I could doubt him again this year.

2193
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 2: That talent with I mean with those guys he threw

2194
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 2: to less than that last year as good as the

2195
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:27,559
Speaker 2: guys they had was uh, that's pretty impressive. Plus they'll

2196
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 2: get kenth Walker in year two as well. All right,

2197
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:31,560
Speaker 2: So let's get to Dennis in Washington and wants to

2198
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 2: chime in on the Seahawks discussion. Dennis, good evening, Hey,

2199
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 2: good eating to you and more than that.

2200
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 9: To your ladies. Happy Mother's Day to the right. Yeah,

2201
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 9: hey us guys. We got to once in a while

2202
01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 9: bow down to our ladies. But here here's the thing,

2203
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:53,920
Speaker 9: and I know a little laughter there Gino Smith last

2204
01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 9: year for the Seattle Seahawks, but also you know he

2205
01:46:57,400 --> 01:47:00,479
Speaker 9: came from out of New York. The point is the

2206
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 9: gentleman was under Russell Wilson and he has really last year.

2207
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 9: Everyone says, oh, look out for this year, and he's

2208
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:15,599
Speaker 9: approven commodity. And I think between Pete Carroll and JOHNA.

2209
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 9: Snyder as a GM look out through Seattle, I know

2210
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 9: YouTube gentlemen are the pros here. And I'm not trying

2211
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 9: to be a Washingtonian this stick up for my Seattle Seahawks.

2212
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,920
Speaker 9: But I think they're going to be respectable.

2213
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean they were respectable last ye. Appreciate that they

2214
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 2: called that. I mean they were respectable last year, and

2215
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to like regress to nothing

2216
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 2: this year. The it's really interesting, Arnie, the NFC West,

2217
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:48,840
Speaker 2: the way we felt about them a couple of years ago,

2218
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 2: you look at them now. There's serious question marks with

2219
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:54,439
Speaker 2: the Rams. They may be going to rebuild mode pretty soon.

2220
01:47:54,520 --> 01:48:00,719
Speaker 2: Here Arizona is just dumpster fire an organization right now.

2221
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 2: San Francisco is the cream of the crop. And then

2222
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 2: you've got Seattle, who was supposed to be a bottom

2223
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 2: feeder last year that might be playing with Drew Locke.

2224
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 2: And then it's Gino Smith. It's like, ah, they got

2225
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 2: Geno Smith, and then Gino played enough. He earned every

2226
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 2: bit of what they gave him this offseason to try

2227
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 2: and prove it. They're giving him another short term deal

2228
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: and they'll, you know, if he goes out there and

2229
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 2: balls out, maybe they'll paying a little bit more long term.

2230
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,720
Speaker 2: But at the very least, Gino has done something I

2231
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 2: don't think anybody saw him doing in his career. I

2232
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:33,439
Speaker 2: don't think there's any doubt Seattle's gonna be respectable. I

2233
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:35,640
Speaker 2: don't know what respect I guess it depends on what

2234
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:39,640
Speaker 2: your definition of respectable actually is. But they're gonna be

2235
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 2: a pretty good team and have a shot to win

2236
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 2: that division.

2237
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 4: Especially in that division, they're gonna fight out with Seattle.

2238
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,400
Speaker 4: The Rams in Arizona, I mean, they're just putrid out there.

2239
01:48:48,439 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 4: So at least Seattle's gonna go ahead and finish second.

2240
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 4: If they don't go ahead and beat San Francisco. You know,

2241
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:56,640
Speaker 4: they were nine to eight last year. If Gino just

2242
01:48:56,680 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 4: has a little bit of a better year, maybe they

2243
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 4: play a little bit better defensive. They're at least a

2244
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 4: ten and seven team. Now, with the division a lot worse,

2245
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 4: they'll probably go ten and seven. They're gonna be a

2246
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 4: factor in this thing, especially considering the NMC souff is

2247
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 4: no great chakes. You won't get any wild card teams

2248
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 4: come from that stinking division. So you know, I mean,

2249
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 4: how many how many wild card teams will there be left?

2250
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 4: I think Seattle would be right there in the thicke

2251
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:20,719
Speaker 4: of things.

2252
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 2: One would think, so I would tend to agree with you.

2253
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 2: So the kickoff game, the Thursday night kickoff game for

2254
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 2: the NFL Chiefs, that would make sense, right against the

2255
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 2: obvious opponent like the one that I mean, there's there's

2256
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:37,200
Speaker 2: no other possible choice here, So I don't even know

2257
01:49:37,240 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 2: why we're talking about it. It's gonna be Chiefs, and

2258
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,559
Speaker 2: of course the Detroit Lions, of course, is to open

2259
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 2: the season. The NFL said, Arnie Detroit earned it by

2260
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 2: the way they finished last year. They earned the right

2261
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 2: to be against Kansas City. The Lions did for the

2262
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 2: way that they finished last season. Look, I got no

2263
01:49:57,280 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 2: problem with you putting the Lions in that role. I

2264
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:01,799
Speaker 2: enjoyed watching the Lions last year. I was telling Chris Purfett,

2265
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 2: who we're gonna bring on here in a minute. I

2266
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 2: was telling him our resident Lions guru Proude of Detroit.

2267
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 2: You know, the Lions maybe the only team in the

2268
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 2: NFC where I'm like, I really want to root for

2269
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 2: them to do well. Like, I kind of liked that

2270
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 2: team and that makeup, and they were fun to watch

2271
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:19,519
Speaker 2: last year, and I kind of want to see that

2272
01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:22,040
Speaker 2: continue to grow. I kind of want to see Carolina

2273
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 2: be decent this year. And I don't have any problem

2274
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 2: with Philadelphia, but I kind of like Detroit. But the

2275
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:30,920
Speaker 2: NFL saying that they earned it, I'm gonna call crap

2276
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:33,519
Speaker 2: on that and just saying I'm fine with them being there,

2277
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 2: but don't oversell it exactly.

2278
01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:37,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call bs on that one. Also. Look nothing

2279
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 4: against Detroit. I was rooting for them last year. I

2280
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 4: would like to see them when they've had so many

2281
01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 4: losing years, I like to see them turn it around.

2282
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,639
Speaker 4: I think it's a great story. I think we made

2283
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:49,880
Speaker 4: fun of Campbell with the biting of the kneecaps and

2284
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:52,679
Speaker 4: now we're rooting for the guy. All that stuff. That's

2285
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 4: fine out there, but the opening of the NFL season

2286
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 4: should have a bang, a big impact, especially when it

2287
01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 4: come the ratings out there. Now I'm not saying, well,

2288
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 4: Detroit's not a major city or anything like that. You

2289
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,559
Speaker 4: need a fan base, and I know the NFL does

2290
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:12,759
Speaker 4: real well in ratings anyway, but you needed a bang.

2291
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 4: You needed like Kansas City and the Jets, or you know,

2292
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,600
Speaker 4: because Aaron Rodgers was playing there, or you know, just

2293
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,719
Speaker 4: a team that people like, oh, can't get their eyes

2294
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 4: off of, and that's what you hit for the opening game.

2295
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:30,360
Speaker 4: Maybe you have the Kansas City Philadelphia rematch of the

2296
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, but something that just wakes up everybody to

2297
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 4: start the NFL season. We're not getting that here with Detroit.

2298
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 2: All right, Chris, Before we get to the break and

2299
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 2: we got to Seger, so we want to make sure

2300
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 2: we have time for him. Please respond to the disrespect

2301
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 2: shown your Detroit Lions just now by Arnie Spanier.

2302
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:50,080
Speaker 8: That would imagine me like taking what Arnie says seriously,

2303
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 8: but I will say I will just say, you're you're

2304
01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 8: looking for a thing with a bang, Yes they are, Like,

2305
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:57,600
Speaker 8: this was a top ten offense last year with like

2306
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 8: and you've just added Jamiir Gibbs and San laport as

2307
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 8: young guys into that offense. Like I I think I'll

2308
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 8: go by what the NFL UH schedule makers said, like

2309
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 8: this was the team you saw last in the final

2310
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,880
Speaker 8: game of the NFL season last year, beating the Green

2311
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 8: Bay Packers, keeping them out of the playoffs, and now

2312
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:17,160
Speaker 8: they're gonna be here to start it.

2313
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:18,360
Speaker 7: I I can't.

2314
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 8: I can't really speak on how big the Jets uh

2315
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 8: fan base is because it always seems like their ego

2316
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 8: outsizes who they actually are all the time, and too

2317
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 8: many guys are in media, but Detroit is not a

2318
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:31,639
Speaker 8: small fan base whatsoever.

2319
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 3: If nothing else.

2320
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 4: Starting game, how many things do you know?

2321
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 8: Because I think you want to save that for middle

2322
01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 8: of the season to sell the Super Bowl rematch. You

2323
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:44,320
Speaker 8: don't want to pop that right away to get going.

2324
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,799
Speaker 8: You've got a young team with a high powered offense

2325
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 8: and a quarterback that's known in Jared Goff, the team

2326
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:51,759
Speaker 8: that was on hard knocks, the team everyone saw last

2327
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:54,840
Speaker 8: and going up against the Super Bowl champions, which, by

2328
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:57,280
Speaker 8: the way, usually these kind of big games to start

2329
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 8: the year usually involves the Super Bowl champions getting their

2330
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:02,680
Speaker 8: ring and then getting dog walked on the first night.

2331
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 8: So either the Lions will accomplish that or you've given

2332
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,320
Speaker 8: the Chiefs a chance to maybe celebrate in their own

2333
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 8: building with a victory too. I think that's better than

2334
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,559
Speaker 8: just going to a rematch or a high powered game

2335
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 8: right away. You got to kind of start it slow.

2336
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 4: You gonna have to be Kansas City, by the way.

2337
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of curious that.

2338
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 3: That's usually how it's been we've always at But I don't.

2339
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:25,840
Speaker 4: Know if it's a rule though, that's my thing. Though

2340
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,759
Speaker 4: I didn't I don't think it's a rule.

2341
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 2: But a lot of times like that's the team everybody

2342
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:32,439
Speaker 2: wants to see. They're a defending champion that's going to

2343
01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:35,000
Speaker 2: bring a casual audience. Because a casual audience, a lot

2344
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 2: of folks watch the Super Bowl that don't watch another

2345
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 2: football game, and they actually know who won the Super Bowl,

2346
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:42,719
Speaker 2: So you're able to bring them in because they've seen

2347
01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 2: stars and all of this kind of thing.

2348
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I ultimately, ultimately, I think what the NFL is

2349
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 8: hoping for is you keep upgrading that Lions offense. They

2350
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:53,760
Speaker 8: bring back their offensive coordinator who decided to stay there

2351
01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:56,160
Speaker 8: instead of taking a job, a head coaching job in

2352
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 8: Ben Johnson. And you're just hoping that you're going to

2353
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 8: get a really high scoring, a fair out of this

2354
01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 8: between Chiefs and Lions to start the year two.

2355
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is on paper.

2356
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you might exactly get that one stat on

2357
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 2: the way to the break and to Sager will join

2358
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 2: us and probably give us a ton of stats and information.

2359
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:15,080
Speaker 2: Probably my favorite segment every week is listening to what

2360
01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:22,160
Speaker 2: Steve brings. But fourteen playoff rematches or team or matchups

2361
01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 2: with playoff teams involved this coming year, we got playoff

2362
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:31,559
Speaker 2: rematches all over the place. It's the most in NFL history.

2363
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 2: So you're getting a lot of the stuff that you

2364
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 2: saw last year in the postseason you're gonna get again

2365
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,080
Speaker 2: this year. And that's gonna be pretty solid. One of

2366
01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:42,120
Speaker 2: them is not Chiefs Lions, but I can see it.

2367
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:45,440
Speaker 2: I can see I could see the logic here. Maybe

2368
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 2: they're trying to recreate that Rams Chiefs Monday night game

2369
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:50,640
Speaker 2: because you had those two quarterbacks playing in it with

2370
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 2: Mahomes and Golf Desager our quarterback. Next it is Jason

2371
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 2: Martin and Arnie Spanier and for Aeron Torres. Here on

2379
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 2: take on me being spun by Chris Purpfett. Let's get

2380
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:29,480
Speaker 2: to Steve de Saga. Always enjoy hearing what he's got,

2381
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:31,640
Speaker 2: and I even asked him to preview it, so this

2382
01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:34,840
Speaker 2: is gonna be basically spoiler free. Steve de Seger, Steve.

2383
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 7: The NFL you were talking about. The league has meetings

2384
01:55:38,040 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 7: this month. Pro Football Talk says at these meetings they're

2385
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 7: gonna vote to have flex scheduling for Thursday night games,

2386
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 7: which is a wildly unpopular idea I'm sure among actual

2387
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 7: ticket holders. I mean great for people of media rights. Obviously,

2388
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 7: the NFL cares greatly about money, and more so than

2389
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:57,680
Speaker 7: ticket holders, and I think this proves it.

2390
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,120
Speaker 4: But how is that possible though, because the players have

2391
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 4: to vote just for the Thursday game because they all

2392
01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 4: they all get the extra one hundred thousand dollars, I

2393
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 4: believe on on top of their pace.

2394
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 2: So I do know.

2395
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 7: They did change the Thursday night rules this year, as

2396
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:13,280
Speaker 7: we saw on the schedule, you can have more than

2397
01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:16,720
Speaker 7: one Thursday Night game. So yeah, they have bent already.

2398
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:18,560
Speaker 4: So it was only they only had to get the

2399
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 4: vote on playing Thursday night. They could go ahead and

2400
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Speaker 4: change the rules like that without doing another vote.

2401
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2402
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean that a team's going to

2403
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 7: be flexed into a third. My concern is that if

2404
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 7: you own tickets and you're off on a Sunday and

2405
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:33,160
Speaker 7: then they say, by the way, I know, you spent

2406
01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 7: a lot for the tickets and you were planning on

2407
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 7: spending the whole day there, but the game's now at

2408
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:38,120
Speaker 7: like five o'clock.

2409
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:39,640
Speaker 2: Exactly.

2410
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:42,640
Speaker 4: They care about TV revenue? Who cares about the thing.

2411
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 7: It's just like all their talk about player injuries and

2412
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:48,800
Speaker 7: then let's expand the season game. Yeah, by the way,

2413
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:52,120
Speaker 7: NFL reporter Ari Mirov after the schedule came out this

2414
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 7: past week. Found out through vivid Seats the most in

2415
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 7: demand games for the season. Here are the top three

2416
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 7: based on average ticket price this past week. Number three

2417
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:06,440
Speaker 7: the season opener in Kansas City Chief Lions average ticket

2418
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 7: price over four hundred and forty dollars.

2419
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:08,800
Speaker 4: Okay.

2420
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 7: Number two. Week five Dallas at San Francisco average ticket

2421
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:18,320
Speaker 7: price five hundred. Number one easily Patriots opener because they're

2422
01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 7: honoring Tom Brady the home game against the Eagles, average

2423
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 7: ticket price eight hundred.

2424
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 3: Wow.

2425
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:28,240
Speaker 7: Thinking about a Thursday night flex if that goes through.

2426
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 7: The Chargers in the second half of this season, for example,

2427
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 7: have road games at Green Bay, at New England, at

2428
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 7: Las Vegas, and the average ticket prices are close to

2429
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:40,360
Speaker 7: two hundred dollars for one ticket if you bought those

2430
01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:43,520
Speaker 7: in those cities. And then they switched the entire day

2431
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 7: of a game and it's not just a day before

2432
01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:48,760
Speaker 7: or a day after either, there can be some ticked

2433
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 7: off people. Again, not that the league is concerned. The

2434
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:55,280
Speaker 7: Washington Commander's sale agreement was announced yesterday to a group

2435
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:57,880
Speaker 7: led by the seventy six ers owner Josh Harris. He

2436
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 7: also owns New Jersey Devils. There are seventeen partners in

2437
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 7: this group, including Magic Johnson. The deal will likely be

2438
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 7: presented at this month's owners meeting. That doesn't mean it'll

2439
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,160
Speaker 7: be approved. It is complex, and the sale price is

2440
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 7: just over six billion dollars, a record. They would go

2441
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 7: to Harris, who is from the DC area. But as

2442
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:20,040
Speaker 7: The Washington Post pointed out, if not for the other

2443
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 7: NFL owner's strong desire to get Dan Snyder out of

2444
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:25,880
Speaker 7: the league, this deal probably would not be approved without

2445
01:58:25,920 --> 01:58:29,880
Speaker 7: some revisions. First off, so many in the group of

2446
01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:33,400
Speaker 7: limited partners, each of them individually has to be vetted

2447
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 7: by the league. Plus Harris to make the purchase, reportedly

2448
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:40,560
Speaker 7: is borrowing against his other teams and getting a quote

2449
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 7: small loan from the current owner in order to buy

2450
01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:46,800
Speaker 7: from the current owner. A lot to go on still,

2451
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 7: but expect a yes because they want Snyder out. Tom

2452
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 7: Brady's trying to become a limited partner in the Raiders franchise.

2453
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:58,040
Speaker 7: He's also an investor in Mark Davis's WNBA Las Vegas team. WNBA.

2454
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 7: By the way, tonight had an exhibition game in Toronto,

2455
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 7: Minnesota against Chicago, notable because it was kind of like

2456
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 7: a tryout for do you want an expansion team. There's

2457
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:11,320
Speaker 7: a list of places, Toronto among them that could be

2458
01:59:11,400 --> 01:59:14,880
Speaker 7: getting a WNBA expansion team. The Athletic says the crowd

2459
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:18,160
Speaker 7: was near full and very young and loud, and this

2460
01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:20,360
Speaker 7: was on a good day where the game was going

2461
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:22,880
Speaker 7: on about the same time as Blue Jays braves that

2462
01:59:22,920 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 7: they essentially hit it out of the park with this

2463
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:29,280
Speaker 7: test run. They had no NBA games today, but a reminder,

2464
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 7: Boston hosts a game seven on Sunday. You want the

2465
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:36,760
Speaker 7: Celtics record in home playoff games their last sixteen at

2466
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 7: home seven and nine, Red Auerbach would be rolling over

2467
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:45,880
Speaker 7: in his grave hearing that step last sixteen home playoff

2468
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:49,800
Speaker 7: games home, not saying it it's an automatic Philly win

2469
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:52,160
Speaker 7: or anything like that. They had their chance, but that's

2470
01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 7: Philly at Boston Game seven.

2471
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 2: Some Wow. Thank you, Steve. We still got one more

2472

2486
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:49,480
Speaker 2: Game seven well, depending on where you are in the country. Yes,

2487
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:52,240
Speaker 2: either this afternoon or it's tomorrow afternoon.

2488
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 4: You know what, you know what's crazy? I just gonna

2489
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:55,040
Speaker 4: jump in here. You know, with all the NBA we

2490
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:57,280
Speaker 4: have going on in the Game seven coming up right,

2491
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:00,520
Speaker 4: and we were talking about the ed fall in the

2492
02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 4: scheduled and when the draft comes up we all get

2493
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,680
Speaker 4: into the draft. I mean, my goodness, man, you would

2494
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:09,560
Speaker 4: think that there was no NBA playoffs going on and

2495
02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:12,160
Speaker 4: that we're not gonna have a college football season. The

2496
02:01:12,200 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 4: way we talk about the NFL, the NFL is king

2497
02:01:15,320 --> 02:01:19,080
Speaker 4: and everybody else's secondary even when they just I mean

2498
02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:21,720
Speaker 4: even when they just released the schedule. We get all

2499
02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 4: excited about it. Jason, It's crazy. You know, you live

2500
02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 4: in a college area. Is there gonna be a college

2501
02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:29,840
Speaker 4: football season this year? I've just kind of curious. Are

2502
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 4: we canceling that? You know?

2503
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:31,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2504
02:01:31,880 --> 02:01:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean, look, when it's the NFL against you, you lose,

2505
02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:40,840
Speaker 2: whatever that means. I remember full well last year, not

2506
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:44,680
Speaker 2: this season, but last season in the midst of the

2507
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:49,920
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament the first week when Kentucky got upset that

2508
02:01:50,120 --> 02:01:55,880
Speaker 2: same night Davante Adams got traded to the Raiders. Oh geez,

2509
02:01:56,040 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 2: and everyone was talking about Davante Adams and not the

2510
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:04,760
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament, like it's amazing. You look at them, They're

2511
02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 2: doing a Black Friday game, so whatever, like, oh, you

2512
02:02:07,560 --> 02:02:11,840
Speaker 2: might have looked at for college football. Well, not anymore. Thanksgiving.

2513
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:16,280
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna own that to we have forever. Christmas. Oh,

2514
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:19,440
Speaker 2: the NBA you want to matter? Not anymore. Now it's

2515
02:02:19,480 --> 02:02:22,160
Speaker 2: gonna be the NFL and their triple header, including a

2516
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:25,720
Speaker 2: big time matchup between the Eagles and Giants, which is

2517
02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:28,440
Speaker 2: gonna be enormous, and whatever the NBA is trying to

2518
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:31,400
Speaker 2: do against that, it ain't gonna work. It doesn't matter.

2519
02:02:31,480 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Like there's a reason why we talk about the NFL

2520
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:38,280
Speaker 2: being a twenty four to seven three sixty five sports

2521
02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:41,080
Speaker 2: it's because it is. Whether it's news, whether it's the draft,

2522
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:44,960
Speaker 2: whether it's camp, whether or not it is you know,

2523
02:02:45,040 --> 02:02:48,440
Speaker 2: the actual season being played, the playoffs, all of this

2524
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, and now it is a holiday. Basically,

2525
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:55,200
Speaker 2: when the NFL tells you who is going to play who,

2526
02:02:56,160 --> 02:03:00,200
Speaker 2: the schedule becomes a prime time release event all on

2527
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,880
Speaker 2: their own television channel and Alayn sets it up for

2528
02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:08,080
Speaker 2: an hour. We know already because we understand which divisions

2529
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:12,080
Speaker 2: are being played every year. Obviously you're playing Indivision, but

2530
02:03:12,320 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 2: you already know which two other divisions you're gonna be see, right,

2531
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:18,840
Speaker 2: so like you know what's gonna happen. It's just the

2532
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:22,120
Speaker 2: order which ones are home, which ones are away. And

2533
02:03:22,200 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 2: this is still enough to like carry the day the

2534
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 2: next day for sports talk radio, for sports television across

2535
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:32,720
Speaker 2: the country, for all these pieces that get written, like

2536
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:37,600
Speaker 2: it's amazing to me, it's it's a masterclass in terms

2537
02:03:37,600 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 2: of what football and how the NFL has built itself

2538
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:43,400
Speaker 2: into this kind of a behemoth. When you can do

2539
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:47,680
Speaker 2: a schedule release on multiple networks and have people riveted

2540
02:03:47,680 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 2: to the screen just to be told when teams are

2541
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 2: gonna play.

2542
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 4: Right, you know, that's what we're shocking about this because

2543
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:55,720
Speaker 4: I mean leading up to the NFL season, of course

2544
02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:59,120
Speaker 4: we have the preseason. Then you have like trades and

2545
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 4: cuds and you know who's going to do, what, what's

2546
02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 4: gonna happen. You get none of that in college. There's

2547
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 4: no preseason. There's no hype, there's no nothing. It's it's like, hey,

2548
02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:12,160
Speaker 4: we're here Week zero, and usually there's crappy games. There's

2549
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 4: a bunch of games, and usually they're crappy ones. We

2550
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:17,840
Speaker 4: don't even maybe we'll get one good one or or

2551
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:20,080
Speaker 4: something like that, but we don't even get good games

2552
02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:22,640
Speaker 4: in a week zero And in Week one, maybe we'll

2553
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:25,760
Speaker 4: get a few of them. But they don't take advantage

2554
02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:28,120
Speaker 4: of it when they have it all to themselves before

2555
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:30,600
Speaker 4: the NFL starts. I really thought they should be doing

2556
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:31,320
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

2557
02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:33,880
Speaker 2: I would also say this, and I think this says

2558
02:04:33,920 --> 02:04:38,440
Speaker 2: a lot. There is only one sport in America where

2559
02:04:38,480 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 2: the preseason actually attracts an audience, like a legit audience,

2560
02:04:43,280 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 2: Like we're not watching a grapefruit League baseball.

2561
02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:50,080
Speaker 4: I was gonna say no, no, no, because the summer league.

2562
02:04:50,360 --> 02:04:53,400
Speaker 2: I don't even know what the NHL exhibition looks like.

2563
02:04:54,160 --> 02:04:58,800
Speaker 2: But preseason NFL, it's on your local channels, whatever it is,

2564
02:04:58,880 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 2: your team is on your local channel. In pron time,

2565
02:05:01,440 --> 02:05:04,840
Speaker 2: it's all over all of the sports networks. We were

2566
02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:06,840
Speaker 2: all talking about it, even though the win and the

2567
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 2: loss doesn't matter. It's watching this guy who we haven't

2568
02:05:10,160 --> 02:05:14,000
Speaker 2: gotten to see yet, or just speculating about what it's

2569
02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:16,880
Speaker 2: gonna look like when the games count a month later.

2570
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 4: Amazing, you're forced to buy tickets to the preseason. Let

2571
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:23,720
Speaker 4: me ask you, would you ever go to a preseason game?

2572
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:27,120
Speaker 4: Would I just say, Jason, what are you doing this weekend? Nothing?

2573
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 4: Let's go Saturday night Carolina's playing whoever, or something like that.

2574
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 4: You want to go to the game? Would you want

2575
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 4: to go? Or you don't go to preseason games?

2576
02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:38,440
Speaker 2: I mean, if somebody invited me to go, we sit

2577
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:40,760
Speaker 2: there and chat, sit there and talk, hang out, you

2578
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:42,760
Speaker 2: know whatever like that, that might be something. Or I

2579
02:05:42,880 --> 02:05:45,040
Speaker 2: might say, hey, let's go see Guardians of the Galaxy

2580
02:05:45,120 --> 02:05:49,760
Speaker 2: Volume three instead like or better, let's not do any

2581
02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:51,520
Speaker 2: of those things. Why don't you just come over and

2582
02:05:51,600 --> 02:05:55,120
Speaker 2: let's cook out, like there are different options for it.

2583
02:05:55,480 --> 02:05:57,720
Speaker 2: Would I go if I was covering it, Yes, If

2584
02:05:57,720 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm not covering it, am I gonna voluntarily go? No?

2585
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 2: Because I've been able to go to Titans games for

2586
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:06,520
Speaker 2: years and years until recently, and I you know, when

2587
02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:09,040
Speaker 2: it comes to preseason I don't think I've ever attended one,

2588
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 2: just because I don't.

2589
02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:11,880
Speaker 4: I used to go every I used to go every

2590
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:13,680
Speaker 4: year when I was a kid. Let me explain something

2591
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:16,400
Speaker 4: to you. You know, back when there was six preseason games,

2592
02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:18,840
Speaker 4: and now when you heard the SEGA read those ticket

2593
02:06:18,880 --> 02:06:21,840
Speaker 4: prices of like four fifty and five hundred and eight

2594
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:25,160
Speaker 4: hundred dollars, you know you couldn't afford to go to games.

2595
02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:27,400
Speaker 4: When I was living in LA one of the six

2596
02:06:27,480 --> 02:06:30,200
Speaker 4: games was always the Rams and the Cowboys. It was

2597
02:06:30,240 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 4: the La Times preseason game, and it was every year,

2598
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:38,080
Speaker 4: and if you cut the couponds out of the newspaper, seriously,

2599
02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:40,120
Speaker 4: I'm not getting around, you could get it. I think

2600
02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:42,880
Speaker 4: it was like for two fifty a ticket, five dollars

2601
02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:46,280
Speaker 4: for two tickets out there, and that's the only game

2602
02:06:46,320 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 4: I would be able to go to. With my dad,

2603
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:52,120
Speaker 4: we go to the La Times preseason game, and you

2604
02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 4: know that was that was the one game we could

2605
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,280
Speaker 4: afford to go to, So it was important back then, Jason.

2606
02:06:56,320 --> 02:06:58,680
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, well I can certainly see it from

2607
02:06:58,680 --> 02:06:59,400
Speaker 2: that perspective.

2608
02:06:59,520 --> 02:06:59,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2609
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I can see it just from the perspective

2610
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:05,120
Speaker 2: of But I also think another thing that has has

2611
02:07:05,160 --> 02:07:08,760
Speaker 2: sort of dampened any reason to go to preseason I'd

2612
02:07:08,840 --> 02:07:11,120
Speaker 2: rather go to a combined practice if it's open to

2613
02:07:11,160 --> 02:07:14,680
Speaker 2: the public, right then I would a preseason game like

2614
02:07:14,720 --> 02:07:17,839
Speaker 2: those are great, those are those are way better than preseason.

2615
02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I agree with you.

2616
02:07:19,160 --> 02:07:19,280
Speaker 2: One.

2617
02:07:20,080 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 4: The only reason you maybe want to go to preseason

2618
02:07:21,800 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 4: game you want to see like a number one draft pick. Yes, uh,

2619
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 4: you know some rookie that you're excited about. And then

2620
02:07:27,880 --> 02:07:29,400
Speaker 4: but you can see that and like you said, in

2621
02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:31,600
Speaker 4: practice and really get a good look at it.

2622
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:33,760
Speaker 2: And I guess in some ways, yes, you can maybe

2623
02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:35,360
Speaker 2: take a look at the new merch for the year,

2624
02:07:35,400 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 2: and you can buy your jersey or whatever like that.

2625
02:07:38,080 --> 02:07:41,240
Speaker 2: I mean, and there are worse ways to spend your time.

2626
02:07:42,040 --> 02:07:44,320
Speaker 2: But a lot of times those prices it's just like,

2627
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not even gonna pay thirty bucks to

2628
02:07:46,280 --> 02:07:48,520
Speaker 2: see a preseason game, Like I can watch that one

2629
02:07:48,560 --> 02:07:51,120
Speaker 2: on TV. If that means I can't see my team

2630
02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:54,200
Speaker 2: in person that year, I think that's all right. I

2631
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:56,880
Speaker 2: mean we've come to a place where the TV coverage.

2632
02:07:56,480 --> 02:07:58,920
Speaker 4: Is so good and TVs are so good there.

2633
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I'm I mean, w how going to the

2634
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:05,680
Speaker 2: ballpark anymore or going to the stadium it just doesn't

2635
02:08:05,720 --> 02:08:07,720
Speaker 2: hold the same d hundred.

2636
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:10,120
Speaker 4: Dollars for tickets. That's sixteen hundred dollars for two tickets,

2637
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:12,600
Speaker 4: parking and food. I can get a TV for two thousand,

2638
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:15,160
Speaker 4: a state of the art TV for two thousand dollars.

2639
02:08:15,200 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 2: Oh you get I mean you can get top of

2640
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:18,360
Speaker 2: the line of stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty close to it.

2641
02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:21,120
Speaker 2: You have, right for two grand? That's exactly right. I mean,

2642
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 2: I mean they're parking that's in the triple digits.

2643
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:26,360
Speaker 4: The Cowboys, how about one?

2644
02:08:26,520 --> 02:08:27,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2645
02:08:27,200 --> 02:08:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean I definitely see that. And if

2646
02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:32,760
Speaker 2: you are you know somebody that's trying to be careful

2647
02:08:32,800 --> 02:08:34,880
Speaker 2: with your money, and you can pick one regular season

2648
02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:36,800
Speaker 2: game or you can go to preseason game. Get a TV.

2649
02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to a preseason game. Get a TV.

2650
02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:41,040
Speaker 4: Oh that I told you when when I first got married.

2651
02:08:41,080 --> 02:08:43,280
Speaker 4: Before I got married, we were in Phoenix and my

2652
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,720
Speaker 4: wife got the lottery for the All Star Game in

2653
02:08:45,760 --> 02:08:48,760
Speaker 4: the slam Dunk contest, and she could have gotten twenty

2654
02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:51,720
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars for the whole combined thing for the

2655
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:54,320
Speaker 4: slam Dunk contest. And then the next day was the

2656
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:56,240
Speaker 4: All Star Game, and she goes, do you want to

2657
02:08:56,280 --> 02:08:57,760
Speaker 4: go to the game or do you want the twenty

2658
02:08:57,760 --> 02:09:01,040
Speaker 4: five hundred. I go get the twenty We'll go to

2659
02:09:01,120 --> 02:09:03,680
Speaker 4: a bar watch the game. But we're getting married. We

2660
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:05,520
Speaker 4: got bills, and come on, what are you doing?

2661
02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:08,400
Speaker 2: Twenty're in an All Star exhibition.

2662
02:09:08,560 --> 02:09:10,160
Speaker 4: That was a lot of money back. That was a

2663
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:12,480
Speaker 4: lot of money back thirty years ago.

2664
02:09:12,520 --> 02:09:14,800
Speaker 2: Wait a second, though, which don't contested you.

2665
02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:19,120
Speaker 4: Not Phoenix whatever it was in Phoenix at the time.

2666
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:21,920
Speaker 4: But who cares? I needed the money back then. I

2667
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:23,560
Speaker 4: wasn't rich like everybody else.

2668
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:25,920
Speaker 2: Now you know how much debt were you in at

2669
02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:29,600
Speaker 2: that point in time? Aren't over under one hundred thousand?

2670
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:31,600
Speaker 4: Oh no, that wasn't not much.

2671
02:09:31,640 --> 02:09:37,960
Speaker 2: That No, no, no, no. Game seven now again just

2672
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:39,520
Speaker 2: a matter of hours away. It's going to be in

2673
02:09:39,520 --> 02:09:41,240
Speaker 2: the afternoon. For some reason, Why of these games seven

2674
02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:45,640
Speaker 2: ended up even played in the afternoon. We've seen it

2675
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:46,280
Speaker 2: was only one.

2676
02:09:46,360 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was only one game. If there was two,

2677
02:09:48,080 --> 02:09:50,280
Speaker 4: it would have been I believe three thirty and eight

2678
02:09:50,280 --> 02:09:51,200
Speaker 4: o'clock or something.

2679
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:53,160
Speaker 2: That would have been very nice to have had two

2680
02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:56,600
Speaker 2: of them, one of them at prime time. But here's

2681
02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:58,240
Speaker 2: somebody we have not talked about at all. We talked

2682
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:01,080
Speaker 2: about Tatum, we talked about NB we talked about Doc Rivers,

2683
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:04,640
Speaker 2: We've talked about the Sixers opportunity to close this thing out.

2684
02:10:04,720 --> 02:10:06,160
Speaker 2: They weren't able to do it. Now they have to

2685
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:10,000
Speaker 2: go to Boston and do it. What do you think

2686
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:16,720
Speaker 2: we're going to get from James Harden, Arnie in this game?

2687
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:21,640
Speaker 2: There are moments this postseason where Harden has looked like

2688
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure he would ever look again. But you

2689
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 2: would expect him to have a game here and there

2690
02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:28,600
Speaker 2: where he does. But he does seem like he is

2691
02:10:28,680 --> 02:10:33,000
Speaker 2: playing awfully hard right now. But what do you anticipate

2692
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 2: from him in a game like this, because well, most

2693
02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:38,600
Speaker 2: of the time during his career, these are games where

2694
02:10:38,600 --> 02:10:39,640
Speaker 2: he does not show up.

2695
02:10:40,560 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, first thing I gotta tell him, I mean,

2696
02:10:43,280 --> 02:10:45,520
Speaker 4: if you want to go by the last game and

2697
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:49,200
Speaker 4: I know that Philadelphia won, but don't you need them

2698
02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:52,400
Speaker 4: shooting more than eight times? Yeah, you know in that

2699
02:10:52,480 --> 02:10:55,960
Speaker 4: a prerequisite. Again, I know they won, but I gotta say, hey,

2700
02:10:56,120 --> 02:10:58,080
Speaker 4: I need you shooting more than any times. I know

2701
02:10:58,120 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 4: you went to the foul line a bunch, but I

2702
02:11:00,600 --> 02:11:04,280
Speaker 4: need you, you know, being the James Harden getting everybody involved.

2703
02:11:04,280 --> 02:11:06,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you did lead the league in assist one year,

2704
02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:08,720
Speaker 4: and I also need to see some of those points.

2705
02:11:09,400 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 4: You know, you want to get Joe Embiid the ball,

2706
02:11:11,480 --> 02:11:13,160
Speaker 4: but I need to see a little bit of the

2707
02:11:13,200 --> 02:11:14,680
Speaker 4: old James Harden in this game.

2708
02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:17,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you're gonna need it. Like I don't

2709
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:19,760
Speaker 2: think Embiid is gonna be enough on his own now,

2710
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:22,080
Speaker 2: Tyres Maxy is likely to play well.

2711
02:11:22,320 --> 02:11:23,960
Speaker 4: He played yeah thirty last game.

2712
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:24,640
Speaker 10: He was awesome.

2713
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:28,240
Speaker 2: He's been very, very good for a good while now.

2714
02:11:28,280 --> 02:11:30,840
Speaker 2: Like we've seen this coming. This is a year where

2715
02:11:30,880 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 2: he's really put it all together and been consistently there

2716
02:11:33,680 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 2: for them in the postseason. But to your point, when

2717
02:11:38,160 --> 02:11:41,640
Speaker 2: you look at James Harden had thirteen points, he was

2718
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:46,120
Speaker 2: four of sixteen from the field in this last game

2719
02:11:46,160 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 2: that the Celtics won. Maxi was nine of twenty and

2720
02:11:49,440 --> 02:11:51,840
Speaker 2: B was nine of nineteen. So those guys combined to

2721
02:11:51,880 --> 02:11:54,960
Speaker 2: go eighteen for thirty eight. And then Harden shoots twenty

2722
02:11:54,960 --> 02:11:58,000
Speaker 2: five percent from the field and three point land, he

2723
02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:02,680
Speaker 2: was zero for six. Well, he only had eight points,

2724
02:12:02,720 --> 02:12:04,880
Speaker 2: not from the free throw line. As you mentioned, he

2725
02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 2: was a minus ten and the plus minus ranking, so

2726
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:10,480
Speaker 2: he had his dud. Does that mean he's gonna come

2727
02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 2: out and be good in games?

2728
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:13,640
Speaker 4: So? I would think. But let me tell you something,

2729
02:12:13,640 --> 02:12:16,200
Speaker 4: if James Harden isn't gonna hit the three pointers, now

2730
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:18,920
Speaker 4: you're really lacking a three point shooting. You got Maxie

2731
02:12:18,960 --> 02:12:21,880
Speaker 4: and you got the injury d Anthony Meltain, who I love,

2732
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 4: and this guy had a great regular season. He's a

2733
02:12:27,720 --> 02:12:31,680
Speaker 4: great underrated player. Philadelphia is gonna need him also because

2734
02:12:31,960 --> 02:12:34,400
Speaker 4: he gets a lot of play in time. He shoots

2735
02:12:34,440 --> 02:12:36,200
Speaker 4: the ball a lot when he is open from the

2736
02:12:36,200 --> 02:12:38,960
Speaker 4: three point range. They're gonna need his points. Also, he's

2737
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 4: like a NX factor in this game.

2738
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. He played twenty four minutes on Thursday night and

2739
02:12:44,360 --> 02:12:48,880
Speaker 2: scored exactly zero points, including zero of four from three.

2740
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:52,000
Speaker 2: He was out for four from three oh five from

2741
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 2: the field, didn't take a free throw. He was a

2742
02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:58,600
Speaker 2: minus three on the floor, had a block of steel

2743
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:02,160
Speaker 2: and an assist, go with five rebounds, but didn't shoot

2744
02:13:02,160 --> 02:13:04,840
Speaker 2: the ball. Well, you're not gonna win unless you shoot

2745
02:13:04,880 --> 02:13:07,200
Speaker 2: the ball. Well, if you're the Sixers, like I don't.

2746
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:08,880
Speaker 4: Think Boston, I don't think that will happen.

2747
02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, MAXI went for twenty six and B went for

2748
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:13,280
Speaker 2: twenty six in a game. So you get fifty two

2749
02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:16,080
Speaker 2: from those two guys. If MAXI can give you twenty

2750
02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:19,160
Speaker 2: and Harden can give you twenty five, and in B

2751
02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:21,480
Speaker 2: can give you thirty, I think that's probably enough to

2752
02:13:21,520 --> 02:13:23,640
Speaker 2: win the game. I don't know how I feel about that,

2753
02:13:23,720 --> 02:13:30,200
Speaker 2: because I just don't trust James Harden in must situations,

2754
02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:33,840
Speaker 2: even though he has been surprisingly good more often than

2755
02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:37,920
Speaker 2: not in this postseason. The guy that's never surprising when

2756
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:40,480
Speaker 2: he's good, because he's always good is Bernie Fratto. He

2757
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:43,280
Speaker 2: follows us on the airways, and he always joins us

2771
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:36,520
Speaker 2: in Vegas, our good friend, Bernie Fredo, Bernie.

2772
02:14:36,520 --> 02:14:40,200
Speaker 10: Good evening, gentlemen, Happy Mother's Day, and a quick note

2773
02:14:40,240 --> 02:14:44,760
Speaker 10: on the On September seventh, the last time Jared Goff

2774
02:14:45,080 --> 02:14:49,040
Speaker 10: and Patrick Mahomes locked horns, they combined for nine hundred

2775
02:14:49,120 --> 02:14:52,000
Speaker 10: yards eleven touchdowns. And there have been two hundred and

2776
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:54,360
Speaker 10: twenty one occasions in NFL history where a team has

2777
02:14:54,400 --> 02:14:58,160
Speaker 10: scored fifty points. Only one did a team lose, and

2778
02:14:58,200 --> 02:14:59,840
Speaker 10: that was Mahomes when they put up fifty one in

2779
02:14:59,880 --> 02:15:02,120
Speaker 10: the at night. But I talked to one of my

2780
02:15:02,240 --> 02:15:05,880
Speaker 10: NFL moles specifically, and I'll give you a direct quote.

2781
02:15:05,880 --> 02:15:08,800
Speaker 10: He said, from the NFL's perspective, we believe that the

2782
02:15:08,840 --> 02:15:12,320
Speaker 10: Lions have played their way into a national window. Now,

2783
02:15:12,360 --> 02:15:15,880
Speaker 10: the reality of it is, they could have put any third,

2784
02:15:15,960 --> 02:15:18,280
Speaker 10: any of the thirty two teams in that game because

2785
02:15:18,400 --> 02:15:23,240
Speaker 10: Patrick Mahomes is mussy TV, so it didn't matter. However,

2786
02:15:23,800 --> 02:15:26,280
Speaker 10: this is a great litmus test for the Lions. And

2787
02:15:26,440 --> 02:15:30,080
Speaker 10: aren't you curious, since they become the media darling, how

2788
02:15:30,080 --> 02:15:32,080
Speaker 10: they fare when they get on the field that night.

2789
02:15:32,440 --> 02:15:35,120
Speaker 10: You know, back in twenty twenty when Tampa Bay won

2790
02:15:35,160 --> 02:15:37,280
Speaker 10: the Super Bowl. In the following season, they hooked up

2791
02:15:37,280 --> 02:15:41,320
Speaker 10: against Dallas and the Tampa Bay was a seven and

2792
02:15:41,320 --> 02:15:43,160
Speaker 10: a half point favorite. Everybody goes, oh, this is gonna

2793
02:15:43,160 --> 02:15:46,440
Speaker 10: be a dog game. Dallas was six and ten last year. Well,

2794
02:15:46,480 --> 02:15:48,720
Speaker 10: it ended up being a great game thirty one twenty nine.

2795
02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:51,720
Speaker 10: Dallas almost upset them. So I think we could be

2796
02:15:51,720 --> 02:15:55,120
Speaker 10: in some real fireworks that night. And from a fans standpoint,

2797
02:15:55,280 --> 02:15:57,680
Speaker 10: and Chris and I were talk we both know there

2798
02:15:57,680 --> 02:16:00,440
Speaker 10: are transplanted Michiganers all around the country, so this game

2799
02:16:00,520 --> 02:16:01,600
Speaker 10: is going to be very highly rated.

2800
02:16:01,680 --> 02:16:03,320
Speaker 2: There's no multiple Lions fans.

2801
02:16:03,400 --> 02:16:06,960
Speaker 4: Yes, but does the Lions get a highly rated games

2802
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:09,360
Speaker 4: compared to if it was going to be Philadelphia in

2803
02:16:09,360 --> 02:16:10,920
Speaker 4: there or Dallas or something like that.

2804
02:16:11,040 --> 02:16:13,880
Speaker 10: Well, see, here's the thing, Arnie. You know people who said,

2805
02:16:13,880 --> 02:16:16,080
Speaker 10: why not a Super Bowl rematch? We've already seen that.

2806
02:16:16,760 --> 02:16:18,840
Speaker 10: Do we need to see that again? Maybe later in

2807
02:16:18,840 --> 02:16:22,000
Speaker 10: the year. This is novel. Look, it's got people talking

2808
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:23,720
Speaker 10: about it. Both of you guys, do a great job.

2809
02:16:23,760 --> 02:16:26,280
Speaker 10: You get your finger on the pulse. The fact that

2810
02:16:26,320 --> 02:16:30,160
Speaker 10: you've reacted the way you've reacted is indicative of how

2811
02:16:30,240 --> 02:16:33,160
Speaker 10: much attention this game is gonna get. The Lions are

2812
02:16:33,200 --> 02:16:36,520
Speaker 10: somewhat polarizing, right they had won one playoff game since

2813
02:16:36,600 --> 02:16:40,120
Speaker 10: nineteen ninety since nineteen fifty seven. However, with the Dan

2814
02:16:40,200 --> 02:16:42,560
Speaker 10: Campbell thing and hard knocks and the fact that the

2815
02:16:42,600 --> 02:16:45,480
Speaker 10: Lions really showed out last year, all right, as we

2816
02:16:45,520 --> 02:16:47,560
Speaker 10: head into twenty twenty three, can they pick up where

2817
02:16:47,560 --> 02:16:49,680
Speaker 10: they left off? Let's put them on the field against

2818
02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:54,480
Speaker 10: the Chiefs. Now Having said that, having said that, NFL

2819
02:16:54,600 --> 02:16:59,160
Speaker 10: are NFL champs since two thousand and four are fourteen

2820
02:16:59,200 --> 02:17:01,440
Speaker 10: and four and kickoff classic games if you want to

2821
02:17:01,480 --> 02:17:04,560
Speaker 10: call it. Dad and Patrick Mahomes and his home openers

2822
02:17:04,920 --> 02:17:07,120
Speaker 10: five and zero straight up four to one against the spread,

2823
02:17:07,200 --> 02:17:10,760
Speaker 10: average margin to victory thirteen points, and those his teams

2824
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:13,959
Speaker 10: have scored thirty eight points per game in those home openers.

2825
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:16,240
Speaker 10: So I don't know what the result is going to be,

2826
02:17:16,280 --> 02:17:17,840
Speaker 10: but I do know this. We're I think we're all

2827
02:17:17,920 --> 02:17:18,560
Speaker 10: going to be watching.

2828
02:17:19,440 --> 02:17:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean we were gonna watch no

2829
02:17:21,879 --> 02:17:24,320
Speaker 2: matter what. But I can understand it. I think the

2830
02:17:24,360 --> 02:17:27,160
Speaker 2: Lions were an exciting team last year. I saw I

2831
02:17:27,200 --> 02:17:28,920
Speaker 2: was looking at some of the experts and what they're

2832
02:17:28,959 --> 02:17:31,240
Speaker 2: picking for early Super Bowl and all this, and I

2833
02:17:31,280 --> 02:17:34,800
Speaker 2: say experts with a lower kse because yeah, you know,

2834
02:17:35,360 --> 02:17:39,920
Speaker 2: Mike Tannenbaum said Lions Chargers is his super Bowl pick.

2835
02:17:39,959 --> 02:17:42,400
Speaker 2: With the Chargers beating the Lions in the Super Bowl,

2836
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:45,000
Speaker 2: which team do you think between the two of those.

2837
02:17:45,040 --> 02:17:47,280
Speaker 2: I'm not saying is that a Super Bowl matchup for you, Bernie.

2838
02:17:47,360 --> 02:17:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying, which one of those two teams do you

2839
02:17:49,680 --> 02:17:53,400
Speaker 2: believe more in this year? Because I'm leaning Detroit for

2840
02:17:53,480 --> 02:17:55,920
Speaker 2: a couple of different factors. When it comes to the Chargers.

2841
02:17:57,160 --> 02:18:00,520
Speaker 10: Well, if the Chargers head quotes resigns, maybe the Chargers.

2842
02:18:00,760 --> 02:18:04,840
Speaker 10: But yeah, that guy drives me nuts. Look, anything can happen.

2843
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:08,120
Speaker 10: I talked about this last night. In the last eight years,

2844
02:18:08,200 --> 02:18:11,120
Speaker 10: you've had nine teams go from worse to first in

2845
02:18:11,200 --> 02:18:12,959
Speaker 10: their division, and this year the Jets are the two

2846
02:18:13,360 --> 02:18:15,840
Speaker 10: are two to one favors to do that. Now, the

2847
02:18:15,840 --> 02:18:18,160
Speaker 10: Lions didn't finish, they weren't the worst team, and the

2848
02:18:18,240 --> 02:18:21,240
Speaker 10: NFC North is wide open, and given the expanded playoffs

2849
02:18:21,760 --> 02:18:24,800
Speaker 10: up to fourteen, most people I talked to believe the

2850
02:18:24,800 --> 02:18:26,560
Speaker 10: Lines are at least a wild card team this year.

2851
02:18:26,840 --> 02:18:28,920
Speaker 10: So once you get in the tournament, anything can happen.

2852
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:31,200
Speaker 10: I have a lot of respect for Mike Tannenbaum. Hi

2853
02:18:31,360 --> 02:18:34,840
Speaker 10: Roseman wouldn't have his job affording for Mike Tannonbaum. So Jason,

2854
02:18:34,879 --> 02:18:39,000
Speaker 10: these are fun conversations that happen to talk about. We

2855
02:18:39,280 --> 02:18:42,560
Speaker 10: just don't know. But between the two, I can't bet

2856
02:18:42,600 --> 02:18:43,400
Speaker 10: on the Charger now.

2857
02:18:43,600 --> 02:18:45,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Berdie, you're out there in Vegas. Have you bought

2858
02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:49,000
Speaker 4: your season? Take a chet for the Vegas A's.

2859
02:18:49,120 --> 02:18:49,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

2860
02:18:49,280 --> 02:18:50,400
Speaker 5: I love it, Ernie, I love it.

2861
02:18:50,520 --> 02:18:52,720
Speaker 10: So we're gonna talk about this quite a bit at

2862
02:18:52,760 --> 02:18:54,800
Speaker 10: Link tonight. And I've got a good buddy of mine,

2863
02:18:54,920 --> 02:18:57,960
Speaker 10: LV Sports Biss So. Three weeks ago, the A's and

2864
02:18:58,640 --> 02:19:02,240
Speaker 10: Dave caval their president, in an abinding agreement to purchase

2865
02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:05,640
Speaker 10: a forty nine acre plot over on Dean Martin a Tropicana.

2866
02:19:06,360 --> 02:19:09,120
Speaker 10: Now two days ago they pivot and now they're looking

2867
02:19:09,160 --> 02:19:12,560
Speaker 10: at the Tropicana site, which is one of twenty potential sites.

2868
02:19:13,240 --> 02:19:17,240
Speaker 10: And if they now, they're a billsman drafted and it'll

2869
02:19:17,240 --> 02:19:20,000
Speaker 10: reach the legislature late this week and they'll vote on it.

2870
02:19:20,640 --> 02:19:23,000
Speaker 10: This is beyond weird to me how they could pivot

2871
02:19:23,040 --> 02:19:26,200
Speaker 10: like that. It makes things feel dysfunctional. But here's let's

2872
02:19:26,240 --> 02:19:28,920
Speaker 10: not bury the lead, which I already have. Should that

2873
02:19:29,080 --> 02:19:32,760
Speaker 10: go through this plan, This plan would require that the

2874
02:19:32,800 --> 02:19:38,360
Speaker 10: Tropicana Hotel, the iconic Tropicana Hotel where Sammy Davis Junior

2875
02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:40,520
Speaker 10: and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin used to hang out,

2876
02:19:40,680 --> 02:19:43,400
Speaker 10: where Muhammad Ali used to train for fights in the seventies,

2877
02:19:43,560 --> 02:19:48,359
Speaker 10: where Elvis had a karate dojo. It's an iconic property,

2878
02:19:48,879 --> 02:19:50,640
Speaker 10: would have to be raised and they would build a

2879
02:19:50,720 --> 02:19:53,920
Speaker 10: new hotel. I'm not sure how that's gonna fly. So

2880
02:19:54,480 --> 02:19:57,480
Speaker 10: this is very disjointed. There's still no artists rendering, there's

2881
02:19:57,480 --> 02:20:00,120
Speaker 10: still no architect. You start to figure out how are

2882
02:20:00,120 --> 02:20:02,280
Speaker 10: going to pay back the five hundred million dollars in bonds,

2883
02:20:02,600 --> 02:20:04,119
Speaker 10: or in this case, would be three hundred and ninety

2884
02:20:04,120 --> 02:20:07,879
Speaker 10: five million on the Tropic Canna site. They're talking about

2885
02:20:07,879 --> 02:20:08,960
Speaker 10: this tax district.

2886
02:20:09,080 --> 02:20:10,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the tourists. That's what you got to.

2887
02:20:10,920 --> 02:20:11,400
Speaker 5: Do, Burnie.

2888
02:20:11,440 --> 02:20:13,119
Speaker 10: Well that's what it would be, Ronnie. So you'd have

2889
02:20:13,160 --> 02:20:17,640
Speaker 10: a series of you know, hotels and restaurants and entertainment,

2890
02:20:18,160 --> 02:20:20,280
Speaker 10: you know, entities and things of that nature, a Major

2891
02:20:20,360 --> 02:20:23,560
Speaker 10: League Baseball store, and through the property taxes and the

2892
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:26,720
Speaker 10: sales taxes, allegedly that money would be generated to pay

2893
02:20:26,720 --> 02:20:29,680
Speaker 10: off the bonds. However, I think certain local economists have

2894
02:20:29,680 --> 02:20:31,680
Speaker 10: looked at that and debunked it already that it wouldn't

2895
02:20:31,760 --> 02:20:35,440
Speaker 10: raise that much. Plus, Nashville wants baseball, Salt Lake City

2896
02:20:35,440 --> 02:20:39,439
Speaker 10: wants baseball, or LANDA wants baseball Portland. There are coalitions,

2897
02:20:39,440 --> 02:20:42,400
Speaker 10: there are organized contreal you know what, they deserve it.

2898
02:20:42,520 --> 02:20:45,120
Speaker 10: By the way, for instance, salt Lake, there's a there's

2899
02:20:45,120 --> 02:20:47,959
Speaker 10: a coalition bring baseball to salt Lake. I don't see

2900
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:50,480
Speaker 10: any of that here, so this is really weird. However,

2901
02:20:50,520 --> 02:20:53,680
Speaker 10: having said that, should the A's come, I actually think

2902
02:20:53,680 --> 02:20:54,680
Speaker 10: people would go to games.

2903
02:20:54,720 --> 02:20:55,080
Speaker 5: I do.

2904
02:20:55,200 --> 02:20:57,440
Speaker 10: I wouldn't be you know, a matter of whether or

2905
02:20:57,440 --> 02:20:59,400
Speaker 10: not they support the A's. It's a matter where they

2906
02:20:59,480 --> 02:21:02,400
Speaker 10: come out to the ballpark, and I think it would work,

2907
02:21:02,600 --> 02:21:05,320
Speaker 10: but we are so far away, I think from reality.

2908
02:21:05,680 --> 02:21:08,200
Speaker 10: Based in my experience in Detroit with Camerica and Ford

2909
02:21:08,200 --> 02:21:11,000
Speaker 10: Field and here with Tea Mobile and Allegiance Stadium, this

2910
02:21:11,160 --> 02:21:14,800
Speaker 10: just looks so much different and so oddly dysfunctional that

2911
02:21:14,840 --> 02:21:16,039
Speaker 10: it's hard to get your mind around.

2912
02:21:16,120 --> 02:21:19,560
Speaker 2: Right now, let's go back to the NFL real quickly

2913
02:21:19,600 --> 02:21:22,600
Speaker 2: and talk about the schedule, just your takeaways overall. I

2914
02:21:22,680 --> 02:21:25,119
Speaker 2: mentioned the stat that jumped out to me was fourteen

2915
02:21:25,200 --> 02:21:28,560
Speaker 2: playoff rematches, which is the most in NFL history. So

2916
02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:30,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a lot of games that you cared

2917
02:21:30,800 --> 02:21:34,039
Speaker 2: about last year coming back this year. Now.

2918
02:21:34,120 --> 02:21:35,480
Speaker 5: It's a really good point, Jason.

2919
02:21:35,560 --> 02:21:37,959
Speaker 10: And of course the New York Giants, I don't know

2920
02:21:37,959 --> 02:21:40,720
Speaker 10: who's cornflakes they peede on. They got to play seven

2921
02:21:40,760 --> 02:21:43,120
Speaker 10: away games of their first eleven, and then they have

2922
02:21:43,200 --> 02:21:45,480
Speaker 10: a stretch after Week eleven where they play three straight

2923
02:21:45,520 --> 02:21:46,240
Speaker 10: more on the road.

2924
02:21:46,560 --> 02:21:47,320
Speaker 5: It's crazy.

2925
02:21:47,400 --> 02:21:50,640
Speaker 10: The bottom line is I look for betting angles because

2926
02:21:50,680 --> 02:21:54,000
Speaker 10: now there are often times where you can find that

2927
02:21:54,080 --> 02:21:57,800
Speaker 10: market inefficiency. Here's what's interesting, I've talked about this since

2928
02:21:57,800 --> 02:22:02,480
Speaker 10: twenty fourteen. Divisional dogs Week one are seventy two percent.

2929
02:22:03,040 --> 02:22:06,640
Speaker 10: Very unusual year. This year, we've got eight divisional matchups

2930
02:22:06,640 --> 02:22:10,560
Speaker 10: Week one Broncos, Raiders, Falcons, Panthers, Bengals, Browns, of course

2931
02:22:10,600 --> 02:22:15,720
Speaker 10: the Big One, Bills, Jets on Monday Night Football, Cowboys, Giants, Seahawks, Rams, Bears, Packers.

2932
02:22:17,160 --> 02:22:18,920
Speaker 10: Eight of those. So if you go five and three,

2933
02:22:18,920 --> 02:22:21,640
Speaker 10: you make money seventy two percent. You bet the dog

2934
02:22:21,720 --> 02:22:24,879
Speaker 10: in the divisional game Week one. The second game that

2935
02:22:25,040 --> 02:22:27,400
Speaker 10: truly jumped at me, and I actually already placed a

2936
02:22:27,400 --> 02:22:31,520
Speaker 10: bet on it. The Colts will play the Patriots in Germany.

2937
02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:35,520
Speaker 10: In I want to say it's week eleven thereabouts. Patriots

2938
02:22:35,560 --> 02:22:38,200
Speaker 10: have already opened up as a five point favorite. We

2939
02:22:38,240 --> 02:22:41,480
Speaker 10: expect Anthony Richardson will be starting for the Colts at

2940
02:22:41,480 --> 02:22:44,280
Speaker 10: that point. Well, what does Bill Belichick do against rooky quarterbacks?

2941
02:22:44,600 --> 02:22:47,680
Speaker 10: Rickey quarterbacks six and twenty four straight up, thirteen and

2942
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:52,160
Speaker 10: seventeen against the spread, hemulatively, twenty four touchdowns, forty five interceptions,

2943
02:22:52,200 --> 02:22:56,039
Speaker 10: only fifty three percent pass completion. I think the wing's

2944
02:22:56,040 --> 02:22:57,960
Speaker 10: going to be better than people realize this year. They're

2945
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:00,200
Speaker 10: going to be a cusp of a playoff team, and

2946
02:23:00,240 --> 02:23:02,320
Speaker 10: I think they give Anthony Richards in a bit of

2947
02:23:02,320 --> 02:23:02,680
Speaker 10: a come.

2948
02:23:02,640 --> 02:23:07,000
Speaker 4: Up, Bernie, you got anything on the college football expanding

2949
02:23:07,280 --> 02:23:08,200
Speaker 4: that we should know about it.

2950
02:23:08,640 --> 02:23:10,000
Speaker 5: You guys are gonna love this.

2951
02:23:10,200 --> 02:23:14,800
Speaker 10: So they've basically announced the twelve team college football playoff schedule.

2952
02:23:14,800 --> 02:23:15,600
Speaker 5: Now we got to wait a year.

2953
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:16,959
Speaker 10: We still got one more year of the you know,

2954
02:23:17,040 --> 02:23:20,120
Speaker 10: made for TV Invitational Boloney Tournament. The long and the

2955
02:23:20,160 --> 02:23:23,960
Speaker 10: short of it is the following season, though it'll start

2956
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:26,880
Speaker 10: in December, December twentieth. You're gonna have opening round games

2957
02:23:26,920 --> 02:23:32,039
Speaker 10: on college campuses, and the championship game will actually be

2958
02:23:32,680 --> 02:23:36,039
Speaker 10: January twentieth, twenty twenty five, full months later on Martin

2959
02:23:36,080 --> 02:23:36,840
Speaker 10: Luther King Day.

2960
02:23:36,840 --> 02:23:37,720
Speaker 5: But here's the weekend.

2961
02:23:37,720 --> 02:23:40,199
Speaker 10: It's interesting, And if you don't have a football coma

2962
02:23:40,200 --> 02:23:42,000
Speaker 10: by the end of this, I don't know what would

2963
02:23:42,040 --> 02:23:45,640
Speaker 10: do it. But between Thursday, January ninth and Monday, January thirteenth,

2964
02:23:46,120 --> 02:23:49,640
Speaker 10: because of the schedule oddity, you're gonna have eight games

2965
02:23:50,120 --> 02:23:52,280
Speaker 10: in those five days that are all do or die,

2966
02:23:52,320 --> 02:23:54,480
Speaker 10: win or go home playoff games. Of course, six are

2967
02:23:54,480 --> 02:23:57,360
Speaker 10: gonna be NFL playoff games, So college football will be

2968
02:23:57,360 --> 02:24:00,000
Speaker 10: butted up against the NFL. You'll have a college semi

2969
02:24:00,080 --> 02:24:05,959
Speaker 10: final Thursday, January ninth, another college football semifinal January tenth, Friday,

2970
02:24:05,959 --> 02:24:10,520
Speaker 10: so Friday night, thirties college football semifinals. Then Saturday you'll

2971
02:24:10,520 --> 02:24:14,160
Speaker 10: have two NFL playoff games, Sunday three NFL playoff games,

2972
02:24:14,320 --> 02:24:16,360
Speaker 10: and then Monday one NFL playoff games.

2973
02:24:16,480 --> 02:24:18,800
Speaker 5: Games in five days.

2974
02:24:18,760 --> 02:24:21,680
Speaker 10: All sandwiched around, and then one week after that you

2975
02:24:21,720 --> 02:24:24,600
Speaker 10: get the College football National Championship. So that's what you

2976
02:24:24,640 --> 02:24:25,800
Speaker 10: call a football coma.

2977
02:24:25,920 --> 02:24:27,400
Speaker 4: Let's go, baby, let's.

2978
02:24:27,200 --> 02:24:29,080
Speaker 2: Get stuff right there, and then you get you know,

2979
02:24:29,240 --> 02:24:32,960
Speaker 2: the XFL after that. Boston or Philadelphia. Who do you like?

2980
02:24:33,040 --> 02:24:34,560
Speaker 2: In Game seven, Bernie.

2981
02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:34,920
Speaker 5: I can't lie.

2982
02:24:35,000 --> 02:24:37,720
Speaker 10: I took, I held my nose and took Philadelphia in

2983
02:24:37,760 --> 02:24:40,879
Speaker 10: the points. Even though the legendary Doc Rivers has lost

2984
02:24:41,040 --> 02:24:44,920
Speaker 10: nine games seven playoff games in his career, and he's

2985
02:24:45,480 --> 02:24:47,320
Speaker 10: blamed at least twenty seven other people for that.

2986
02:24:47,720 --> 02:24:49,800
Speaker 5: The bottom line is this though I.

2987
02:24:49,800 --> 02:24:52,480
Speaker 10: Don't really like the composition of this Boston team, and

2988
02:24:52,520 --> 02:24:53,800
Speaker 10: if they win, I think it's going to be a

2989
02:24:53,840 --> 02:24:55,920
Speaker 10: very close game. I think we're looking to like a

2990
02:24:55,959 --> 02:24:57,680
Speaker 10: one o four, one to one type of a game.

2991
02:24:57,840 --> 02:24:59,560
Speaker 10: So I've grabbed the points, and I guess that's all

2992
02:25:00,520 --> 02:25:02,400
Speaker 10: how many points? I got six and a half?

2993
02:25:02,560 --> 02:25:04,320
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go, I got.

2994
02:25:04,120 --> 02:25:06,080
Speaker 10: Six and a half. I think I think that's too many.

2995
02:25:06,120 --> 02:25:09,119
Speaker 10: And I know you guys who probably probably first aligned

2996
02:25:09,160 --> 02:25:11,480
Speaker 10: for a front of a botomy because I'm banking on

2997
02:25:11,640 --> 02:25:15,119
Speaker 10: Joel Embiid, I'm banking on Doc Rivers. Come on, man,

2998
02:25:15,520 --> 02:25:18,680
Speaker 10: you know James Harden. Yeah, call me crazy.

2999
02:25:18,720 --> 02:25:19,440
Speaker 5: So we'll see.

3000
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:22,400
Speaker 2: All right, Burn, what do you have coming up about once.

3001
02:25:22,200 --> 02:25:25,640
Speaker 10: We're done, Well, we're gonna we're gonna preview the Denver

3005
02:25:35,480 --> 02:25:37,040
Speaker 10: the Alabama betting controversy.

3006
02:25:37,560 --> 02:25:40,000
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, we're gonna we're gonna take more NFL

3007
02:25:40,320 --> 02:25:41,119
Speaker 5: Draft takeaways.

3008
02:25:41,240 --> 02:25:43,080
Speaker 10: Of course, we've got our game brand new fool, what

3009

Speaker 10: kind of and what my name at the end of

3010
02:25:44,840 --> 02:25:48,600
Speaker 10: the show. And then that's also you know, let's not

3011
02:25:48,720 --> 02:25:51,199
Speaker 10: forget the biggest story of the week, the guy who.

3012
02:25:51,040 --> 02:25:52,279
Speaker 5: Cheated in the fishing tournament.

3013
02:25:52,360 --> 02:25:55,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, they got ten days in jail days in jail.

3014
02:25:55,280 --> 02:25:57,560
Speaker 5: How about that? So I guess you, I guess you

3015
02:25:57,600 --> 02:25:59,320
Speaker 5: can say now that story is now.

3016
02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:07,360
Speaker 2: Alright, alright, go go go tell yourself down after that one.

3017
02:26:07,480 --> 02:26:08,160
Speaker 5: Thanks Jason.

3018
02:26:10,800 --> 02:26:12,039
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, thank.

3019
02:26:11,800 --> 02:26:12,640
Speaker 4: You, Bernie.

3020
02:26:12,959 --> 02:26:16,720
Speaker 2: Sorry, guys, Yeah, that's Bernie Fredo. Happy Mother's Day too.

3021
02:26:17,480 --> 02:26:20,200
Speaker 4: I love I love that story about the fisherman that

3022
02:26:20,280 --> 02:26:23,320
Speaker 4: gotta they got arrested. Now they're doing ten days jail time.

3023
02:26:23,720 --> 02:26:27,560
Speaker 2: Ten days in jail crime? Does it pay?

3024
02:26:28,680 --> 02:26:30,199
Speaker 4: I guess ten days? Really?

3025
02:26:30,720 --> 02:26:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it could be a lot worse. It

3026
02:26:32,840 --> 02:26:33,280
Speaker 2: could be.

3027
02:26:33,400 --> 02:26:36,280
Speaker 4: Jail like Andy Griffith with the key outside right out

3028
02:26:36,280 --> 02:26:37,080
Speaker 4: the door and all that.

3029
02:26:37,560 --> 02:26:41,120
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, not in jail for ten days,

3030
02:26:41,240 --> 02:26:43,520
Speaker 2: but probably in jail tomorrow night since he has to

3031
02:26:43,520 --> 02:26:44,280
Speaker 2: work with you again.

3032
02:26:46,200 --> 02:26:48,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, tell otis to just let himself in.

3033
02:26:49,320 --> 02:26:52,720

3162
02:33:30,440 --> 02:33:34,160
Speaker 2: was just like, yeah, I can't like the sixers. There

3163
02:33:34,200 --> 02:33:36,680
Speaker 2: are just too many factors there for me. And now

3164
02:33:36,720 --> 02:33:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna cut out because I'm I've flipped over

3165
02:33:39,120 --> 02:33:41,959
Speaker 2: the USFL game based on what de Seger said. Now,

3166
02:33:41,959 --> 02:33:44,960
Speaker 2: I have not seen a first down animation as of yet.

3167
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:49,240
Speaker 2: I also have not seen a fan like if you

3168
02:33:49,360 --> 02:33:53,880
Speaker 2: want to think we're back in COVID, flip over to

3169
02:33:53,959 --> 02:33:56,039
Speaker 2: FS one for a quick second and check out the

3170
02:33:56,120 --> 02:34:01,120
Speaker 2: USFL stands, because I don't even I think all of

3171
02:34:01,160 --> 02:34:04,279
Speaker 2: the family, all the immediate family members of the players

3172
02:34:04,280 --> 02:34:05,080
Speaker 2: are in attendance.

3173
02:34:05,920 --> 02:34:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, plenty of good tickets still available for that one. Yeah,

3174
02:34:09,640 --> 02:34:12,560
Speaker 4: go ahead and take a guess on that for bro. Yeah.

3175
02:34:12,560 --> 02:34:14,880
Speaker 4: But that's just the way it's going to be. I mean,

3176
02:34:15,120 --> 02:34:16,920
Speaker 4: I don't know what ticket sales were like in the

3177
02:34:16,959 --> 02:34:21,039
Speaker 4: old USFL, but things are kind of different now, and

3178
02:34:22,120 --> 02:34:24,440
Speaker 4: you know, just people are not rushing out to the games.

3179
02:34:24,440 --> 02:34:27,040
Speaker 4: But it doesn't mean it's not a good afternoon or

3180
02:34:27,080 --> 02:34:28,080
Speaker 4: something like that, you know.

3181
02:34:28,959 --> 02:34:32,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm not necessarily saying anything about the quality of

3182
02:34:32,840 --> 02:34:36,039
Speaker 2: the football or anything else. I'm just saying if they

3183
02:34:36,080 --> 02:34:40,640
Speaker 2: were looking to survive based on ticket sales, I have

3184
02:34:40,720 --> 02:34:43,560
Speaker 2: my doubts. Like the XFL game, there were actually some

3185
02:34:43,640 --> 02:34:46,480
Speaker 2: people there at the XFL championship game, right But this

3186
02:34:46,560 --> 02:34:49,400
Speaker 2: game that I'm looking at right now, I'm telling you,

3187
02:34:49,480 --> 02:34:52,240
Speaker 2: there are more people in the room with me that

3188
02:34:52,360 --> 02:34:54,400
Speaker 2: are in the seats at that game, and there's no

3189
02:34:54,400 --> 02:34:55,320
Speaker 2: one in the room with me.

3190
02:34:55,360 --> 02:34:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know how you're supposed to survive. I mean,

3191
02:34:57,320 --> 02:34:59,200
Speaker 4: I guess you're probably gonna have to worry about TV

3192
02:35:00,360 --> 02:35:01,840
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, but I don't know how these

3193
02:35:01,879 --> 02:35:04,320
Speaker 4: young weeks are supposed to survive like this year.

3194
02:35:04,360 --> 02:35:05,800
Speaker 2: And obviously I know it's a repeat, but it's a

3195
02:35:05,800 --> 02:35:07,640
Speaker 2: one point game. When we come back, we will pick

3196
02:35:07,760 --> 02:35:11,480
Speaker 2: the big game for Sunday, Game seven. Doc rivers six

3197
02:35:11,480 --> 02:35:16,000
Speaker 2: and nine. This will be a sixteenth game seven. That's

3198
02:35:16,080 --> 02:35:19,480
Speaker 2: the most for any coach in NBA history. I don't

3199
02:35:19,480 --> 02:35:21,720
Speaker 2: know if that's a good or a bad thing, but

3200
02:35:21,800 --> 02:35:23,720
Speaker 2: we'll discuss and we'll pick Game seven when we come

3201
02:35:23,720 --> 02:35:25,800
Speaker 2: back to finish up the program. Here, Fox Sports Saturday,

Speaker 2: get out of the East of the NBA. Yeah, and

3215
02:36:14,600 --> 02:36:17,480
Speaker 2: the winner of Game seven on Sunday will get that

3216
02:36:17,600 --> 02:36:21,959
Speaker 2: opportunity to play against the Miami Heat. I mentioned the

3217
02:36:22,040 --> 02:36:24,680
Speaker 2: stat before the break. Doc Rivers will be in his

3218
02:36:24,840 --> 02:36:29,000
Speaker 2: sixteenth game as a head coach. In terms of game sevens,

3219
02:36:29,000 --> 02:36:31,360
Speaker 2: no one's ever had more. I don't know if that's

3220
02:36:31,360 --> 02:36:33,680
Speaker 2: a good or bad things Like you could look at

3221
02:36:33,760 --> 02:36:35,800
Speaker 2: it and say, well, I mean, he's obviously been in

3222
02:36:35,800 --> 02:36:38,000
Speaker 2: the thick of it, but he's also had a lot

3223
02:36:38,080 --> 02:36:40,439
Speaker 2: of teams that haven't been able to close out series.

3224
02:36:41,240 --> 02:36:45,480
Speaker 2: And he's six and nine in those games, so six

3225
02:36:45,520 --> 02:36:51,400
Speaker 2: and ten or seven and nine twenty four hours from now.

3226
02:36:52,280 --> 02:36:55,720
Speaker 4: Wow, it's you know, I go back and forth on

3227
02:36:55,760 --> 02:36:58,640
Speaker 4: this so many times. First of all, did you see

3228
02:36:58,640 --> 02:37:01,720
Speaker 4: how bad Jason Tate him shot the ball early? When

3229
02:37:01,720 --> 02:37:04,920
Speaker 4: do you like three to seventeen at one point before

3230
02:37:05,080 --> 02:37:09,200
Speaker 4: turning it on into the fourth quarter? You know, I

3231
02:37:09,240 --> 02:37:12,200
Speaker 4: gotta tell you sooner or later, Doc is going to

3232
02:37:12,320 --> 02:37:16,600
Speaker 4: overcome this and win a Game seven. I know it's

3233
02:37:16,600 --> 02:37:18,760
Speaker 4: tough to win it on the road, especially when you're

3234
02:37:18,760 --> 02:37:21,600
Speaker 4: gonna do it in Boston, But for some reason, I'm

3235
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:23,600
Speaker 4: going with more of a gut feeling here. I think

3236
02:37:23,800 --> 02:37:26,920
Speaker 4: Harden's gonna have a big game. Of course, Joel Embiid

3237
02:37:26,920 --> 02:37:29,800
Speaker 4: always has a big game. We'll see if Maxi can contribute,

3238
02:37:29,840 --> 02:37:33,640
Speaker 4: but not thirty maybe twenty plus. We'll see if the

3239
02:37:33,680 --> 02:37:37,560
Speaker 4: Anthony Melton can help out. If Tatum has that start again,

3240
02:37:38,080 --> 02:37:41,840
Speaker 4: Boston will lose this game. I hate to go against

3241
02:37:41,840 --> 02:37:43,800
Speaker 4: the home team, but I'm gonna go with Philadelphia in

3242
02:37:43,840 --> 02:37:44,280
Speaker 4: this game.

3243
02:37:45,560 --> 02:37:49,080
Speaker 2: If Tatum has that start on the home floor, yeah,

3244
02:37:49,120 --> 02:37:52,480
Speaker 2: in Game seven, after the Game six first half that

3245
02:37:52,560 --> 02:37:55,200
Speaker 2: he had, that's gonna be a rough go for him.

3246
02:37:55,440 --> 02:37:57,600
Speaker 2: That's and I agree with you. I don't think that

3247
02:37:57,640 --> 02:37:59,800
Speaker 2: you come back and do that twice in a row.

3248
02:38:00,160 --> 02:38:03,080
Speaker 2: I also think it's quite unlikely that he's gonna do

3249
02:38:03,240 --> 02:38:07,119
Speaker 2: that again. The question is, I think you're gonna get

3250
02:38:07,160 --> 02:38:11,480
Speaker 2: good games, good to great games from embiid and from

3251
02:38:11,560 --> 02:38:16,280
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum. I feel pretty confident that Jalon Brown is

3252
02:38:16,320 --> 02:38:19,080
Speaker 2: gonna have a pretty solid game. Harden is the one

3253
02:38:19,160 --> 02:38:21,680
Speaker 2: I just don't know. There have been times when he

3254
02:38:21,840 --> 02:38:26,200
Speaker 2: has shown flashes of past brilliance, and there have been times,

3255
02:38:26,560 --> 02:38:30,760
Speaker 2: like in the previous game, where he looks old and

3256
02:38:30,800 --> 02:38:33,440
Speaker 2: looks like he's gonna go to Houston to finish off

3257
02:38:33,480 --> 02:38:36,800
Speaker 2: his career, which is not too far down the line

3258
02:38:36,840 --> 02:38:40,840
Speaker 2: from right now. So I think that's where I look

3259
02:38:40,879 --> 02:38:43,920
Speaker 2: at it, and I just say Boston's got it at home.

3260
02:38:44,320 --> 02:38:46,920
Speaker 2: I like their number two in terms of a consistent

3261
02:38:47,000 --> 02:38:49,760
Speaker 2: contributor a little bit more than the Sixers number two.

3262
02:38:50,480 --> 02:38:53,000
Speaker 2: And then I just say, can Tyrese Maxy pick up

3263
02:38:53,040 --> 02:38:57,440
Speaker 2: the slack if James Harden struggles And he did do

3264
02:38:57,520 --> 02:38:59,720
Speaker 2: that for the most part in the last game, and

3265
02:38:59,760 --> 02:39:02,120
Speaker 2: it's still turned out not to be enough because other

3266
02:39:02,240 --> 02:39:06,360
Speaker 2: guys didn't contribute. The problem for road teams in Game

3267
02:39:06,440 --> 02:39:10,879
Speaker 2: seven in the NBA is usually their secondary guys. Their

3268
02:39:11,000 --> 02:39:17,040
Speaker 2: role players shoot poorly, make mistakes, turn the ball over uncharacteristically,

3269
02:39:17,200 --> 02:39:20,119
Speaker 2: just look a little bit shook in the moment. If

3270
02:39:20,120 --> 02:39:22,560
Speaker 2: somebody can step up and make some buckets for them

3271
02:39:22,600 --> 02:39:26,560
Speaker 2: early that's not not the obvious, then you can pull

3272
02:39:26,600 --> 02:39:28,880
Speaker 2: off a win like this. But I think it's quite

3273
02:39:28,920 --> 02:39:32,480
Speaker 2: deflating for Philadelphia to lose a Game six that they

3274
02:39:32,520 --> 02:39:35,280
Speaker 2: had on their floor and then have to go on

3275
02:39:35,320 --> 02:39:38,480
Speaker 2: the road. So I'm gonna take Boston, who I already

3276
02:39:38,520 --> 02:39:41,119
Speaker 2: picked to win it all before the playoffs started. I'm

3277
02:39:41,120 --> 02:39:43,879
Speaker 2: gonna stick with them, even though right now I'm kind

3278
02:39:43,879 --> 02:39:46,200
Speaker 2: of pull kind of thinking it's gonna be dever. All right, Arnie,

3279
02:39:46,280 --> 02:39:47,360
Speaker 2: it's been fun. It always is.

3280

Speaker 4: Tomorrow, yes, sir, Yes, sir.

3281
02:39:50,560 --> 02:39:52,120
Speaker 2: All right, Well you'll be able to react to this.

3282
02:39:52,240 --> 02:39:54,960
Speaker 2: Bernie Frado is coming up next. You don't want to

3283
02:39:55,000 --> 02:39:59,520
Speaker 2: miss everything that he has in store for you. For Arnie.

3284
02:39:59,800 --> 02:40:02,080
Speaker 2: For the crew, I'm Jason Martin Torres will be back

3285
02:40:02,120 --> 02:40:04,000
Speaker 2: with me next week. Have a great Mother's Day.
