And 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: the way to do it is to pit white guys 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 3: versus black guys, Luca Joker, flag Reeves Canipple against Wenby whoever. 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 3: That would be a real edge to the game. It 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: would get a lot of attention. 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 4: What'd you say, Alex, that's gotta be ras. 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: Guys would play f ing hard. Now, he was joking around, 19 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: but that just goes to show you. I think the 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 3: NBA are going to be on stating at this point, Kelvin, 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: I think that's so telling. Seriously, remember Bill Simmons used 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: to be on shoot Countdown or shoot around or whatever 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: they called it. He was on the in the on 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 3: the uh, on the table with everybody right, and was 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: one of those analysts for the basketball. We all know 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: he's a a Celtics homer and all that, and he 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: produced that Celtics documentary that you love, right, He's a 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: part of that, so we know where his allegiances lie. 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 3: But the idea that they would even float that out, 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 3: you know, and talk about black versus white. 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: Just further solidifies how bad this has gone, how terrible 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: it is. And I don't know, and I'm not trying 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: to be flipped. Yes I'm going and they could pull 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: my credential if they want, But would you pay? Would 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: you pay?

So now we got to do a 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: race black against white. 40 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 4: I don't know. Do the Europeans count as white?

He slid that in there. 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 4: Because I thought it would have to be white Americans. 44 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Isn't that otherwise you'd have to have a separate Super 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show, right. 46 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, well you've been lying about that.

The season 201 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: just ended, but you know, Dejannery gamblers like Rob Parker 202 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 3: like to get in early. And CAYLEB Williams, who is 203 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: a big star on the show, is kind of down 204 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 3: the list. I believe he's number nine overall in best 205 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: dodds plus sixteen hundred. However, according to Lamar mitchellin bet MGM, 206 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: nobody has received more total bets so far to win 207 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 3: the NFL MVP Award next season then Caleb Williams. In fact, 208 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 3: what's more, he's received the second largest total betting handle 209 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 3: amongst all players, behind only Patrick Mahomes. Long story short, 210 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: everybody and their mother is betting on Caleb Williams to 211 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: have a big season in twenty twenty six. 212 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 4: Everybody except for one. God who that that's shooting? 213 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: No? 214 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 5: Do you know it's funny? It's actually a good bet. 215 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 6: It's actually a good bet because the money wise sixteen 216 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 6: to one odds on a very talented young player. 217 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: So I get the bet. That makes sense. 218 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 6: The problem or the challenge that I have rob is 219 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 6: that in order to be the MVP typically you have 220 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 6: to have a great record, right, you gotta have some 221 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 6: type of really good record twelve and five, thirteen and 222 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 6: four something like that usually to have, you know, MVP usually, 223 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 6: and I don't think that the Bears will be that 224 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 6: good record wise, and that is where I able to 225 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 6: have some reservation on putting the money on that, because 226 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 6: when I look at Caleb Williams and the Bears. We 227 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 6: talked about they were ended up winning six games that 228 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 6: they won in the. 229 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 5: Last two minutes. 230 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 6: And I said, next to you every day, and to 231 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 6: your credit, you told me that that wouldn't be the 232 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 6: case for the Chiefs. You know, they had won eleven 233 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 6: games last year, eleven and zero one score games, and 234 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 6: they would come back down to Earth. Well, they went 235 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 6: beyond Earth. They went down the hill with it, and 236 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 6: they were like one in eight or something. This past season. 237 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 6: With that, the Lions didn't go as great. They weren't 238 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 6: as bad as the Chiefs, but they weren't as great 239 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 6: as the year before. So I'm saying the matth evens out. 240 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 6: I don't expect the Bears to lose all those games, 241 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 6: but say they lose a few with evens it out, 242 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 6: so that changes the record. Also, it's not their fault 243 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 6: they playing that incredibly difficult division where I've set up 244 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 6: here and talked about the Vikings and JJ McCarthy and 245 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 6: how he wasn't good and all that. You look up, 246 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 6: they were nine to eight. You got the Lions, who 247 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 6: I think will be better. You got the Packers, who, yeah, 248 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 6: they'll be better. Than nine to eight, and you got 249 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 6: the Packers who should be you know, around the same, 250 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 6: if not better as well. So I and then the 251 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 6: Bear's gonna have one of the more difficult schedules as well. 252 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 6: And that's something you pointed out to the Lions. You say, Hey, 253 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 6: the schedule is going to be different. So my thing is, 254 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 6: I don't expect Caleb to be bad. I expect him 255 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 6: to be good. Him and Ben Johnson looks like a 256 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 6: good pairing. But I think the season is gonna be 257 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 6: much harder for them. But based off the schedule and 258 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 6: their division alone, the total schedule and the fact that 259 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 6: teams are gonna say, all right, we see who he 260 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 6: is now, you know, and we and we adjust accordingly 261 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 6: because there. 262 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 5: Were so many games where we talk about it. He 263 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 5: wasn't that great until he won the game at the end. 264 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 5: So I just don't think that equates to MVP. 265 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 6: But I see the bet because if I got sixteen 266 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 6: to one odds on a guy that sounded, I get 267 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 6: why people are placing that money, but I don't think 268 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 6: it's likely at all that he would actually be the MVP. 269 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: Disagree, and I'm gonna tell you why. Your points about 270 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: it was it different last year with the Chiefs. That 271 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: My point was, they weren't winning any games at the 272 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: end on throws like that. They were winning games skin 273 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: of their teeth. The other team would fumble or you know, 274 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: make miss a field goal. It were games like that 275 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: that they won that I was like, dude, they did 276 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: the luckiest team you know last year that that that 277 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: was you know, not this past season, but last year. 278 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 4: They were lucky in that in that standpoint and they won. 279 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: They were like eleven and oh in one score game, 280 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: which is a crazy number to be eleven and oh. 281 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: And in this case, the thing I think what they 282 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: have going for them is, and I'm talking about the 283 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: Bears and Caleb, is there's room for improvement. There is 284 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: And you talk about it about you know, not being 285 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: from behind and playing from ahead and on all kinds 286 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: of stuff like that. And maybe Ben Johnson's learned after 287 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: his first year being coach, he did he went forward 288 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: a lot in situations where they would drip drive down 289 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: the field and could have kicked the field goal and 290 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: come away with some points, you know, and he didn't, 291 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: and he went for it on fourth down and whatnot. 292 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: So he has to also mature as a coach. Caleb 293 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: can can get better. But the one thing that they 294 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: walk away from, which I think is invaluable, and I 295 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: don't care. 296 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: You could, you could go, I could. 297 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: I could give you ten guys, fifteen guys, and a 298 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: few of them could say that they made so many 299 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: throws in those situations to win games to where you 300 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: feel like you're never out of a game. With Caleb, 301 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: I think, I think that doesn't happen all the time. 302 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: You know where you just feel like and it ain't 303 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: some fluke we talked about. He won his he won 304 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: his high school state championship on the last door of 305 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: the game. That you know what I mean, Like, so 306 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: this is something that this guy has everybody doesn't have 307 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: that that is that's magical for a team to believe 308 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: in him, knowing like we're never out. You know what 309 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: that makes you feel like to keep playing hard throughout 310 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: the entire game like it's not you don't mail it in. 311 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: With Caleb Williams, you gotta keep it close. He can 312 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: give us a chance to win. And I think that 313 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: that rubs off when you know you have a guy 314 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: who can perform when when everybody's counting you out, so 315 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: I think he grows in year three. 316 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 4: Remember this is not year two. 317 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: Year three, I think Ben Johnson gets better as a coach. 318 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: I still think that they're better than all the other 319 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: team they want a division. I still think they will 320 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: be better than the Lions, better than the Packers, and 321 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: better than Minnesota. 322 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: I do. 323 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna run away with the division, 324 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: but I think they'll still be better. They can improve 325 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: on their defense, right, we can talk about that. They 326 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: are offense, they got a lot of weapons. I like 327 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: the Bears offense. It can be better in year two, 328 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, under Ben Johnson. I like the Bears to 329 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: win the division again, and I like Caleb to be 330 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, in I'm not predicting he's gonna win the MVP, 331 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: but I can see why people would think that he 332 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: could do it in year three. 333 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: In the NFL. 334 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, again, I think that's if you're looking to make money, right, 335 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 6: You're like, who can I put my one hundred dollars 336 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 6: one thousand dollars on and make some money? 337 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 5: I get why people are doing that. 338 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 6: Again, based off of the spectacular plays that in last 339 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 6: second wins. I get that, But again, I just think 340 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 6: it the totality, what it takes to win an MVP. 341 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 6: You and I sit up here every year, the last 342 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 6: two football seasons, we've done our show, and you got 343 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 6: guys like Josh Allen, but even more specifically Lamar Jackson, 344 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 6: who puts up crazy, crazy, crazy numbers, who's doing things 345 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 6: running the ball and passing the ball that we've never 346 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 6: seen before. I mean, we talked about Lamar's last couple 347 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 6: of seasons where he's doing stuff that no one had 348 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: ever done, including only except maybe Aaron Rodgers at certain points. 349 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 6: So I think what it takes in totality to win. 350 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 6: I just think that's going to be difficult for Caleb 351 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 6: because all in all, and. 352 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 5: I do you look at last year, jeord Way's. 353 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: Number, I mean thirty was he thirty five and eight? 354 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean he had a really good season, thirty five 355 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: and eight and got he got more, He got one 356 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: less first place vote than Matt Stafford to put up 357 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: monster numbers, you know what I mean, compared to But 358 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: so so it does tell you that that if you 359 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: have that kind of season, we saw it before when 360 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers won his last two MVPs. Tom Brady had 361 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: better numbers and definitely one of those seasons way better 362 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: and he still won it because of the games that 363 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: they won, and you know, the the uh, the the 364 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: way they the way he played in certain games. 365 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 4: But I gave him a lift, that's all. 366 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 6: I'm just yeah for me, I feel like we talk 367 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 6: about this every year the last couple of football seasons, 368 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 6: you and I have been doing the show. It's like 369 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 6: which team is likely to take a step back and not. 370 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 6: I don't think that. I think they're good team, so 371 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 6: I don't expect them to fall off the mat at all. 372 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 6: But I just think they got away with some of 373 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 6: those games that you look at him and say, how 374 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 6: the heck they win? 375 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 5: That they shouldn't have won that, and the other team would. 376 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 6: Be like that solely our game, so that spectacular play, 377 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 6: I think they come down to earth. I think that 378 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 6: hurts the MVP chance. When you're not your record isn't 379 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 6: as great. Right, Let's say you're ten and seven. It's 380 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 6: very difficult to be an MVP team MVP player when 381 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 6: your team is that record, you know, they usually want 382 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 6: you again to be twelve wins, thirteen wins, something like. 383 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 4: I think they can win twelve games. 384 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: I think they can win a couple more than they 385 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: did a year ago, and again not all in this 386 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: fashion that they wont I'll give you that, but just 387 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: solid games and wins. 388 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 389 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: the nation.

For the first time in over 570 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 3: twenty one seasons, Lebron James will not nt be a 571 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: part of the All NBA team at the end of 572 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 3: the season. 573 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 4: And that's a good thing. 574 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 3: And interestingly enough, before the game, JJ Redick spoke to 575 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 3: reporters and they asked him about the sixty five game 576 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 3: rule and Lebron streak being over, and he said that 577 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: the games played threshold should be used more as a 578 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: suggestion to voters rather than a hard and fast rule, 579 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 3: adding quote, I think it's fine to have just have 580 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 3: some sort of guidance for voters, not necessarily having a 581 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 3: hard and fast rule. It's interesting that we would talk 582 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: about Lebron because Lebron course is the king and the 583 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 3: biggest name here in sports in the NBA at least. However, 584 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: he's not the only player who is either eliminated from 585 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 3: consideration or on the verge of being eliminated from consideration. 586 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 3: Here's the list. Guy, he's got Lebron number one, he's out. 587 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: Giannis he's not considered anymore as well. Steph Curry two 588 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 3: games away, Wemby three games away, Kawhi Leonard four games away, 589 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: Luca four games away, Anthony Edwards seven games away. That's 590 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 3: not including Nikol Yokich's right there as well, if adding 591 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 3: not come back a couple of games ago. 592 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 4: So, guys, but he came back because they knew what 593 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 4: they were doing, didn't they. Yeah, so I got a 594 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 4: chance to win the MVP. 595 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the question, fellas, Now that we've seen this 596 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 3: sixty five game rule in action and a lot of 597 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 3: the best players are not gonna be eligible for all NBA, 598 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 3: can we finally admit that it's a dumb idea and 599 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 3: has got to go. 600 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 2: No, I ain't. 601 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 5: Admitting it, dang it. 602 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 6: There was a reason why the rule had to be 603 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 6: implemented because we were losing best players playing. We weren't 604 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 6: getting those matchups we wanted primetime TV events. You weren't 605 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 6: having a plan all out of Lakers last night, missing 606 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 6: four of their starters and star players. So absolutely, now, 607 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 6: I know it's inconvenient. I know some of these guys 608 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 6: are gonna be missing out on these awards, and I 609 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 6: understand it. But there's a reason, Rob that it was implemented, 610 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 6: because you had to have something where we're gonna get 611 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 6: the best players playing for the vast majority of the games. 612 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 6: Nobody expects you to play eighty two, not even really 613 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 6: seventy two. But you can't give me sixty six, then 614 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 6: why should I be considering you for award an award 615 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 6: if you're missing you know, a third of the game. 616 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 6: So I understand people saying it's not fair. But when 617 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 6: you go back and DAGD, I hate to be that, 618 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 6: Get off my long guy. 619 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 5: You know I don't like to be that. 620 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 6: But back in the day bird Magic Jordan, those guys 621 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 6: are playing it. Yes, they didn't play eighty two all 622 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 6: the time. They got mad seasons of playing eighty two. 623 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 6: They got someone playing seventy seventy five like you just 624 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 6: played the game. 625 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: They played seventy five people, people would be okay with that. 626 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 4: It's just yeah, like. 627 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 6: Even seventy two, it's like all right, and the whole 628 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 6: six month season, give or take you miss ten games. 629 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 5: I can live with that. 630 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 4: When you miss one game a month right now. 631 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 6: Nicked up every now and again, but every little nicking 632 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 6: nicked up bruise is two to three games out. 633 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: Rob, Yeah, I told you before, and I think I 634 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: have the best solution. If I get to ask Adam 635 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: Silva a question at the commissioner's press conference, I would 636 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: definitely throw it out, like what they should do to 637 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: really control it is a game, Kelvin, And I'm talking. 638 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: You gotta miss three games. You gotta miss three games, 639 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: not one. Can't take a night off against a bad team, 640 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, to rest up and whatever. 641 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: Then you'd have to miss the next two games. It 642 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: would stop people from doing it. Or if you take 643 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: off with a questionable injury to be determined by the league, 644 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: you get zeros in. 645 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 4: Your stat line for that game. 646 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: People aren't doing that, you know that because you're scoring 647 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: average and where you fit in the league would take 648 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: a big hit if you had eight or ten zeros 649 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: in games across the board, and that's they have to 650 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: get back to that. 651 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 4: But I'm good with this. 652 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: I am totally good with this, and they had to 653 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: do something, and tough luck for all those guys. Tough 654 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: you guys are missing a lot of games. You shouldn't 655 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: be evaluated on the same part. Like any other sport 656 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: we talk about all the time, you can't play ninety 657 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: games and win the batting title. In baseball, you gotta 658 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: get three point one at batch per game, right the average, right, 659 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: three point one, no matter what, that's what it is, 660 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: and you have to have a minimum amount of bats 661 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: in order to get there. A lot of guys get 662 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: four games, so you just need three point one so 663 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: you can miss some games, you know what I mean, 664 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: and still have enough played appearances to qualify. So that's 665 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 1: what they need to be and the only way they 666 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: can do it is with games in the NBA. 667 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 6: No, you're right, And if you look at that, we 668 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 6: just had the NFL season, So I use as an example, like, 669 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 6: you're not gonna win the MVP you play ten of 670 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 6: the seventeen. 671 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 5: Games, right, yeah, I don't give it. 672 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 6: Dang, how amazing you no matter what your number, not 673 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 6: gonna give it to you. You know, you gotta probably 674 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 6: play seventeen games now in the last handful of years 675 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 6: unless you in fourteen is you had to throw them 676 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 6: for still through for forty six hundred yards and thirty 677 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 6: eight touchdown. 678 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 5: That's it. 679 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 6: So the idea that, oh man, it shouldn't matter, No, 680 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 6: it does matter, because you had to have had an 681 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 6: imprint on the game, an imprint on your team and 682 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 6: MP throughout the season. We really can't talk about this 683 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 6: season without talking about you, and so therefore you had 684 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 6: to play a vast majority of them. 685 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 5: And I don't think that should be a big deal. 686 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 6: In fact, I think guys should be playing so much 687 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 6: rob that we actually end up forgetting like, oh yeah, 688 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 6: I forgot that rule exists, because guys are just playing 689 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 6: and they're getting an opportunity. Now again, if somebody wanted 690 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 6: to lower it to sixty five or something, okay, But 691 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 6: the idea that it needs to go away, or that 692 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 6: it's there for a reason, to me
