So in an effort to cover the ones 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: that you may have missed but we did not, we 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: came up with Tuesday Morning Quarterback. 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: Well, Tuesday, kid, this is Tuesday morning quarterback in the afternoon. 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: Mondays can be overwhelming. Tuesdays are getting to whatever we 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: didn't get to on Monday. Yeah, this is Tuesday morning 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Quarterback in the afternoon. 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Who don't want to go out back in the apter nod? 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, Dan, I'm gonna give you a first crack 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: at this thing because I know how like you just 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: you're watching all this game Sunday, you know, you can 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: only talk about so many Then Monday we get to 39 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: the leads. Whatever there's you have so much that ends 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: up on the cutting room floor. What's the one story 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: that you most think we have missed collectively as national media, 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: and you want. 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: To get to well, I don't know if it's categorized 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: as that, but I do think that it needs to 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 3: be talked about because we look at the worst teams 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: in the NFL, as the Jets because they're zero to seven, 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: or the Titans because they're one and six and fired 48 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: their head coach. Something happened on Sunday as I was 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: watching the early window of games and saw that the 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: Raiders in the fourth quarter had just three first downs 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: against the Kansas City Chiefs in their game, and I 52 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: just thought, my goodness, that is that is absurd. Kansas 53 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 3: City dominated that game. I saw clip yesterday of Gardner Minshew, 54 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: Chiefs backup quarterback taking a knee with two and a 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: half minutes left in that contest. Why why rub it 56 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: in even more? For Andy Reid and then Doug Last night, 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 3: when I was doing my I Want Your Flex podcast, 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: I went I looked at the team stats in that 59 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: game just for a second and saw, wait a second, 60 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: the Raiders ended up with only three first downs in 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: that game against Kansas City. Gino Smith had sixty seven 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: yards passing in that game. They held the ball for 63 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: a whopping seventeen minutes and fifty two seconds, completely outclassed 64 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: by the Chiefs. But the amazing thing is is I 65 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: think the Raiders are one of the three worst teams 66 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: in the National Football League and we just aren't talking 67 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: about them because of how bad the Jets have been 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: and the Titans firing their coach, And maybe we're clouded 69 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: by a Week one win against the Patriots, which I 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 3: think we now look back and say, how in the 71 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: world did that happen? But the Pete Carroll era to 72 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: try to turn things around is not happening. There is 73 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: no ground game with Chip Kelly as their offensive coordinator. 74 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: And now if you just wonder have the Raiders has 75 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 3: the game passed Pete Carroll and everybody by like, this 76 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: is not the start you would want if you're a 77 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 3: Silver and Black fan, and they do not have hope 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: on the way aside from brock Bauers hopefully getting healthy 79 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: for them. 80 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: Besides that, the show. 81 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: Third West, worst point differential in the National Football League. 82 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: The Raiders commitment to excrement, commitment to extra. 83 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: Jay Stoo, I think that there is a. 84 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, where's your signature? Line. 85 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: Okay, well, so hold on, hold on, allow me to 86 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: explain to the listener the evolution of my line. The 87 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: evolution of my line entails one thing. It entails a 88 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 4: fairly lengthy introduction from Doug. So when Doug starts to 89 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 4: introduce me, I cut him off. But Doug, knowing that 90 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: I have an introductory line, goes to me very fast 91 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 4: with these the least amount of words for me to 92 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: cut him off on. So now the fund's over. There's 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: no more fun. So I'm just gonna go along with 94 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: my Tuesday Morning quarterback topic. 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: Doug, I'll take it from here. 96 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: Sorry, I had to. Okay, anybody who chose Barkley in 97 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: the top five or six picks of their fantasy draft 98 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 4: knows exactly where I'm coming from. Saquon Barkley was a 99 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: player that probably won you your fantasy league last season. 100 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: Remember he was I think like a second round pick. 101 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 4: Joel Shane chose to let him go to the Eagles 102 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 4: and all that, and became the offensive Player of the 103 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 4: Year and everything else. The stats this year through seven 104 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 4: weeks are astounding, and we're talking about, if you want 105 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 4: to give it contrast, we're talking about a year where 106 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 4: the familiar running backs are having the good seasons. Running back, yeah, 107 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 4: Christian McCaffery. We just saw Jami Gibbs last night. Last 108 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 4: night was awesome, James Cook, Jon Robinson dependable. And then 109 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 4: you throw in randoms like Rico Dowdell and Javonte Williams. 110 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: What's the running back yet? Did you say Swift? I'm sorry. 111 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: With the Bears, he had like one hundred and twenty 112 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: seven yards rushing. 113 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift is another yeah, But for whatever reason, Saquon 114 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: Barkley is not has not joined that collection of running 115 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 4: backs having amazing seasons. You could put the I guess 116 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 4: to blame it. Kevin Patullo. He's the new offensive coordinator 117 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 4: for the Eagles. 118 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: Now listen, hold on, I'm I'm I hate interrupt, but 119 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna interrupt. 120 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on. 121 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: Do you remember the discussion everyone had. We had a 122 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: little different discussion on the running backs, and at the 123 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: end of the year last year, like, well, clearly the 124 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: owners were wrong and these guys are worth it. And 125 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: my whole point was the argument wasn't over paying guys 126 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: for a year. It wasn't really over paying guys for 127 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: two years. It was how much you would pay them 128 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: and for how long. The fight for Saquon Barkley was 129 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: over a second and a third year guaranteed at what amount? 130 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: And the Eagles redid his deal in the offseason. And 131 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: now here we are in the second year of what 132 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: would have been a three year deal and he's fallen off. 133 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: That's the problem. It's really hard to be really consistent 134 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: once you get into your late twenties in the NFL. Sorry, 135 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: go ahead, Jameson. 136 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 4: But I would say that the old cliche of the 137 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: squeaky wheel the oil. 138 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so much. 139 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 4: Real estate, so much oxigen has been taken up over 140 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: AJ Brown and his complaints. How do we get aj involved? 141 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: And Saquan has been silent the entire time. He's been 142 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: a supportive, good teammate. He's the one after games that 143 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 4: talks about winning is all that matters. And just to 144 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: give the listener just kind of a look see of 145 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 4: how bad has it been. Of the twenty four running 146 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 4: backs who have at least seventy five carries this season, 147 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: Barkley ranks dead last three point three yards of carry. 148 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 4: Barkley averaged five point eight yards of carry just a 149 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 4: year ago. Last year, he ran for one hundred and 150 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 4: twenty five yards a game this year fifty two. So 151 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: if there is an indictment on this offense, I know 152 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 4: AJ Brown gets a lot of the oxygen. Kevin Patulo 153 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 4: needs to find a way to get Saquon Barkley loose, 154 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 4: because I would disagree with Doug on this. It's only 155 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: been a year. I don't think that there's been a 156 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 4: massive degrading of talent or speed in just a year. 157 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 4: Something's going on in this offense that isn't just Aj 158 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: Brown Oriental. 159 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: That is correct. Their offensive line is banged up, played 160 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: without Cam Jurggens their center. There's also the Jalen Hurts 161 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: question as well, And if I'm a defense and I'm 162 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: trying to key on something, I'm keying on Saquon Barkley. 163 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 3: Also from a fantasy football perspective, which I think we 164 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: all have. Jalen Hurts also will take away carry's at 165 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: the goal line. So if Saquon isn't breaking away for 166 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: eighteen and twenty and fifty yard touchdown runs like he 167 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: did last season, then he's not going to be as 168 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: effective in the stat column or for your fantasy team. 169 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: And he also hasn't been that effective as a receiver 170 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 3: out of the backfield. So it's been a variety of 171 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: things that have caused to decline to Saquon Barkley. Then 172 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 3: I don't even think that we can necessarily pin on 173 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: him as being the reason. 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 5: Sam Well, I just wanted to add on that the 175 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 5: the buzzards of the NFL media have moved on from 176 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 5: the passing game of the Eagles to the running game 177 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: the Eagles, and every every week there's some kind of 178 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 5: issue and whether they win or lose. But now I 179 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 5: understand what you guys are saying. Their offense is dysfunctional, 180 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 5: and so it's one week, it's something works one week 181 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 5: or all the weeks. I guess the running game in 182 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley don't work. I rolled these drops in. Can 183 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 5: I just say something because I think that's an interesting point. 184 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 5: Is we sit there and we complain about that your 185 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 5: whole deal at Jason's point of AJ Brown's taking up 186 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 5: so much error in the room and Jalen Hurts and 187 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 5: how we look at him as a quarterback. Is he 188 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,239 Speaker 5: a top five quarterback? 189 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 3: Like they won the Super Bowl because of Saquon, Like 190 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: that's the reason why in their offensive line, But last 191 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: week against Minnesota. Guess what, both DeVante Smith and aj 192 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: Brown over one hundred yards huge games, and you would 193 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 3: think that everything is solved. But to Jason's point, it's 194 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: not solved. And now we're just distracted because guess what, 195 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 3: Brandon Graham's coming out of retirement. So when we're talking 196 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: about the Eagles, it feels like we're grabbing all of 197 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: the wrong points and it should just be like, get 198 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: Saquon on track, get your offensive line healthy, and then 199 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: maybe you can try to repeat, Sorry, Sam, go. 200 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: Ahead, go ahead, Sammy jf some else. 201 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 5: No, I had my own thing, but no, I mean, yeah, well, 202 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 5: just a pivot here. I rolled these drops in after 203 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 5: the Indiana fever really pushed the Las Vegas Aces, who 204 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 5: eventually won the WNB Championship, pushed them to overtime in 205 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 5: Game five of the semi finals. I rolled these drops 206 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 5: in because the Indian nfere would just not go away. 207 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 5: These are from a couple of my favorite movies, Batman 208 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: Forever and Austin Powers Too. Why Won't You Die Now? 209 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 5: I'm not wishing violence on anyone here. This is just figurative, 210 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 5: a fun little exercise here. The New England Patriots dominated 211 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 5: the NFL for twenty years, and to quote two face, 212 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: why won't you go away? Okay? I often think that 213 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 5: the gods, the cosmos of sports, the gods of deciding 214 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 5: who wins and who loses and who has long you know, dynasties, 215 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 5: that lord works in mysterious ways. I don't understand it, 216 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 5: because the Patriots dominated the NFL for twenty years, and 217 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 5: they were only really down for three seasons, and now 218 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 5: they're back with a head coach who has that twenty 219 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 5: year run DNA woven into his entire structure of how 220 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 5: he does things. And now it looks like the Patriots 221 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 5: are back. Okay, if you have it, twenty years of 222 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 5: dominating and winning what six Super Bowl titles? A lot 223 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 5: of fans, especially fans of really downtrodden organizations like the 224 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 5: Browns or the Bills, they say, well, why not us? 225 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 5: It's our time? And now it looks like the Bill's 226 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 5: window is closing because the Patriots are back. They're back 227 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 5: on top in the AFC East, and you just have 228 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 5: to wonder why is it. It's because of good ownership. 229 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 5: As long as Robert Craft is around, it seems like 230 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 5: the Patriots are going to be competitive, but. 231 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: You're really you're giving, You're giving Craft. 232 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: I think I think ownership matters a lot. We were 233 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 5: talked about the Eagles. Jeffrey Lowie, I think is one 234 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 5: of the best owners in sports. I think if your 235 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 5: your your owners are really invested and they're really you know, 236 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: connected with the team, that they're gonna find reasons and 237 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 5: ways to get your team back on top. 238 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: And I'm help you out here. Sure owners should just 239 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: need to hire good people. 240 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 5: Well but yeah, that's not but that that's hard. 241 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: Like like Craft doesn't have anything to do with football, 242 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: and you know, they hired a guy who was completely 243 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: an app last year and you know, with the same quarterback. 244 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: They they they they managed to kind of figure it 245 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: out that. 246 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 3: Though. You know, I will say, the way that Craft 247 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: is massaged their down years, though, is really that impressive. 248 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 4: Very impressive. 249 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: Yes, he's been an adult about those massages. Yes. 250 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 5: So the Patriots, I mean, we don't know if they're 251 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 5: going to go on and win the Super Bowl or 252 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 5: what what Mike Rabel's coaching ten year is going to 253 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 5: look like in you know, five seven years. 254 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Their quarterback and they got they're good. 255 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 5: They got a dude and you know, you just you're like, 256 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 5: you know, I will win two Rose Bulls in nineteen fifties, 257 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 5: and then they had twenty years of darkness. 258 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 3: That's the suffering I'm talking about. 259 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 4: And it's not fair. It's not fair that the Patriots are. 260 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: Back on top. 261 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 3: I think it's a great point. 262 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: Good morning, Hawaii, it's ten fifteen in the morning. 263 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: I'll say this. I actually think that they remind me 264 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: of when the Yankees when Aaron Judge was a rookie 265 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, well that could this be a 266 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 3: likable Yankees team? And then like that got over with 267 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 3: really quick. I think that this is a likable Patriots team, 268 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: but if they continue to win, that'll probably end up 269 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: ending pretty quickly. 270 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Why Won't You Die? I love that movie? Sam. Do 271 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: you know how much I like the Austin Powers movies? 272 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 6: And not sure I've. 273 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 5: Gathered you do like him because I play you know, 274 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 5: their his drops pretty frequently and youays seem to respond. 275 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 5: So we talk about Austin Powers the franchise quite a 276 00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 5: bit on this show. 277 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna there's two quarterbacks and they played last night 278 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: and it was a super super ugly game. But I 279 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: don't want to lose sight of of two things. The Texans, 280 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of stuff work. You know, you have 281 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: a coach who a couple of years ago, I felt like, man, 282 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: they found their coat, they found their guy, like he's 283 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: their rable, played their linebacker really good, came from San Francisco, 284 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: immediately made the playoffs. And then you have this quarterback 285 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: in CJ. Stroud, who great year at Ohio State. But 286 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: there's some people myself include like is he that good 287 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: or is it they're just so much better than everybody 288 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: they're playing. He was just okay last year and he 289 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: was probably below average last night. Then they got Nick Chubb, 290 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: who's like at twenty nine, I don't know if he's 291 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: rushed for more than seventy yards in the game. He 292 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: hasn't broken one hundred in the game. So it's like 293 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: all these three things happening where sophomore is slump from 294 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: Stroud is kind of seemingly extended a little bit. There's 295 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: just not the same something from the coaching staff. And 296 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: then you know you're built around this running game and 297 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, and Nick Chubb is a shell of his 298 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: former self. No, the Texans being mid maybe hasn't been 299 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: discussed enough. And then the other side. Look again, it 300 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: was an ugly football game, ugly ugly. But Sam Donald's 301 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: team is five and two, and for a guy that 302 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: has been written off much like his predecessor in Seattle, 303 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: he hadn't written back then, right back. Everyone knows that 304 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: me and uh Daniel Jeremiah and to a slightly lesser extent, 305 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Cowherd huge, Sam Donald fans huge, still holding stock, and 306 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: he's not the star that his stats said he was 307 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,239 Speaker 1: last But he's definitely not a bum, definitely not a bust. 308 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: And I think he's plenty good enough to get that 309 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: team to the playoffs. Dan, do you disagree? 310 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: I think there'll be a playoff team. I just thought 311 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: there were Sam Darnold moments that happened in last night's game. 312 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 3: They do happen a lot worried about. 313 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, they do happen there. It is a real thing, 314 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 1: and you're you're you're right to say it. I think 315 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: he's a better version of what he used to be, 316 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: but he still does regress on some level. That is 317 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday Morning Quarterback. 318 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 319 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 7: the nation.

Where where do 335 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: we begin this story? 336 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 337 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 6: We begin? And thanks for having me on the way 338 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 6: I kind of approached it is. I don't think you 339 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 6: can tell the story of Lebron and his tenure of 340 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 6: the Lakers and what that meant for the team and 341 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 6: specifically Genibus to have a star without telling the history 342 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 6: and story of the Bus family. So, I mean, you 343 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 6: can spend five books just on the Bus family. But 344 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 6: we kind of start with Jerry Buss and speed through 345 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 6: that and the Lakers in the end of the Colbiero 346 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 6: where things were kind of down and the internal drama 347 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 6: with the Bus family and how the team was desperate 348 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 6: forty lifeline really and Lebron became back. 349 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: There's always this thing with Lebron where when he comes in, 350 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: he tries to take over, right, And it was it 351 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: was pat Riley even said like, hey, that was why 352 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: they were happy, supposedly happy to be out of Lebron business. 353 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: Was there any discussion about Rich Paul, about their involvement, 354 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: about the decision making within the organization when he came 355 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: aboard when they were pursuing Lebron via free agency? 356 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 6: I mean, so in free agency, the Lakers, but Jeanie 357 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 6: and the Bus family, they were all they rolled out 358 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 6: the red carpet for Clutch and Lebron. But that's very much. 359 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 6: That was very much how Genie Buss was raised in 360 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 6: terms of how to how to run a basketball gap. 361 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 8: Right. 362 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 6: Her father was about stars and we cater to our 363 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 6: stars and it's Hollywood, right, And this is how it goes. 364 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 6: So they very much said that. I mean, it's a 365 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 6: great story. People kind of probably forgot it. But Contagious 366 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 6: Caldwell Pulp, the wig player, he's a Clutch client. He's 367 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 6: been the year before Lebron gets there, and he has 368 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 6: to serve basically in a halfway house the time for 369 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 6: I'll remember this, you are I forget what was I 370 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 6: don't want to be specific here, Basically the judge, they 371 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 6: forget away for him to play home games right with 372 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 6: the Lakers. Uh and and I practice and just go 373 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 6: sleep somewhere else in the facility in the halfway house 374 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 6: and the and like I think most teams they probably 375 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 6: would not be okay with this, but the Lakers were 376 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 6: very much they want to Clutch to be happy that. 377 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 6: The interesting part though is after they got him, after 378 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 6: they got Lebron like and it's one of the things 379 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 6: that was pretty surprising to me is like unpacked the reporting, 380 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 6: the idea that Clutch was running things. I think that 381 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 6: was an overstatement. I mean, you see it the year 382 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 6: two after Luke Waltins fired, Lebron wants the Lakers to 383 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 6: hire TYLERU Tyler would be a perfect candidate for them 384 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 6: at that point, you know, former Laker, which matters to them. 385 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 6: He gets along with Lebron, you know, the coaching obviously 386 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 6: a very good coach, and Lebron makes it very clear 387 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 6: and he wants TYLERU and the Lakers just wouldn't do 388 00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 6: it because they didn't want to give him a con 389 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 6: track that was they didn't want to pay him what 390 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 6: Tyler's bony should get paid and Lebron you know that 391 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 6: the year two and you know, if Lebron was getting 392 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 6: the thing he wanted, that would have been perfect example 393 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 6: of they would have just thought him instead instead of 394 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 6: Frank Vogel. 395 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. I remember it was a it was 396 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: a three year deal and he won a four year 397 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: deal and the money wasn't huge, and then Vogel took it. 398 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: Tyler got the deal with the Clippers and the rest, 399 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: as they say, is history. What about Westbrook right the 400 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: reporting previous to year book? Okay, Iron white'sman joining us 401 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: here in the doug Outleap Show. He has written a 402 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: new book that's out and it's the Lakers. It's about 403 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers and Lebron James. The book is titled Tanking 404 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: to the Top, a Hollywood ending the Lakers and the 405 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: drama of the dreams and the drama of the Lebron Lakers. 406 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: What about the Westbrook and how they ultimately traded for him, 407 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: because again what was reported was whether it was Buddy Healed, 408 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: Damar DeRozan, there were others that the front office supposedly wanted, 409 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: but it was Lebron James and Anthony Davis that honed 410 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: in on Russell Westbrook. What's the reality based upon your 411 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: reporting and that you've been able to write down, So. 412 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 6: The reporter is the reality is they all are part 413 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 6: of it, and they all had a hand in it, 414 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,239 Speaker 6: and then they're all trying to blame each other, right, 415 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 6: that's the CLDR version, Like they basically all came at 416 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 6: it from their own perspective. So after that season, and it's, 417 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 6: by the way, the part and it's interesting and I 418 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 6: think it gets the mistake. The mistake they made, and 419 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 6: I believe was so they have the bubble year and 420 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 6: they win, and the next year they start off really well, strongly. 421 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 6: They have Shooter and Marcus foul and they start off 422 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 6: stronger than they fall apart. And I think in hindsight, 423 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 6: we've all learned that the act the harder, crazier year 424 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 6: in the NBA was the year after the bubble, right 425 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 6: when games were back in their arenos. But we had 426 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 6: the season like the Lakers had seventy one days between 427 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 6: the end of their championship and the start of the 428 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 6: next season. And I was the year janis one walking. 429 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 6: The things were crazy, guys in and out for COVID 430 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 6: just the season was nuts and the Lakers losing the 431 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 6: first round with a D and Lebron but was getting hurt. 432 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 6: And the mistake was they react to that. They sort 433 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 6: of panic and react. I feel like they have to 434 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 6: and this is Lebron at the front office, right, this 435 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 6: what's happening. They all react instead of saying, you know what, 436 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 6: there was we had no shot. Seventy one days between 437 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 6: the seasons, like we were never gonna win. They decided 438 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 6: they have to go get a third star. Polinka in 439 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 6: the front office want a third star. Lebron wants to 440 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 6: as someone else. They want someone who could help maybe 441 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 6: carry some of the offense the juice. So Lebron holds 442 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 6: up him. Anthony Davis and Jared Dudley start going through 443 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 6: names and Bradley Beals and mar the Rozen are on 444 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 6: the list Westbrook too. They reach out to Westbrook at 445 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 6: the same time Polinka was in the off front office 446 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 6: talking about how much he wanted a third Scar and 447 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 6: you know the Nets like, let's talk look the Nets 448 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 6: Big three model, we have to beat them, and the 449 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 6: Lakers actually have. So Lebron's talking to Westbrook, the Lakers 450 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 6: start back channeling, talking to Westbrook's agent, and so it's 451 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 6: they're all approaching it from different angles and they end 452 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 6: up getting the trade, goes through it and it gets 453 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 6: completed at an ownership level. Genie Bus ends up executing 454 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 6: it with uh, with the Wizard's owner at that level 455 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 6: to kind of go through some good trade compensation. And 456 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 6: then it all goes horribly and they all start blaming 457 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 6: each other and telling, you know, say, no they brought 458 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 6: to us, No, they brought it in to us. So 459 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 6: it's that it's just to me, it's kind of telling. 460 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 6: It's kind of emblematic of the whole tenure, in the 461 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 6: whole partnership. 462 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 463 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: Uh. 464 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: The the excerpt I read was about Westbrook basically saying 465 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: the Bronze of phony right that right the the the 466 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: Malcolm X book, what's your favorite part? So many the 467 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: Godfather's my favorite movie. What's your favorite line? 468 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 8: Oh? 469 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: So many? You know, all of those things which we 470 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: laugh about the media, and but it is that that's 471 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: a real thing in league circles, or at least with 472 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: with Westbrook and how we've used him. 473 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 6: For sure. But it was so funny though, because to 474 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 6: me it's funny so seeing that yesterday. So it's a 475 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 6: great story. And you know, the short version is Lebron 476 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 6: walks out before the Lakers are gonna have Will Smith 477 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 6: come speak to the group because they bring in the 478 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 6: famous people do that, and Lebron walks out out he 479 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 6: doesn't want to be there. He ends up being pulled 480 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 6: back in by Darwin Ham. And then what Wilson has 481 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 6: done and Lebron asks a million questions, is that as 482 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 6: it's happening, Westbrooki is growing furious just watching it and 483 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 6: later says, so a teammate, I hate that takes stuff. 484 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 6: I I can't stand it right. And there's a picture 485 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 6: you could see a picture of the Lakers posted the 486 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 6: team picture that day of Westbrook of the whole team 487 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 6: with Will Smith, and you can see westbrook'scowling there, just angry, 488 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 6: and he's right the part I found fascinating. And you know, 489 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 6: I'm in my mentions yesterday because I'm looking, because I'm vain, 490 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 6: obviously I'm gonna check all my mentions and most of 491 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 6: the most of the commentary is like, yeah, team Ross, 492 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 6: go get him Lebronz of phony, Team Ross and you can. 493 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 6: I have no issue with that, And there's plenty of 494 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 6: examples like that. The thing that's wild is the Westbrook 495 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 6: Lakers partnership did not fail because Lebron's a phony. It 496 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 6: failed because Russ played awfully. It was a horrible fit 497 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 6: and and showed no willingness to even attempt to adapt, right. 498 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 6: And it's just to me, it's telling that, for whatever 499 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 6: reason is this Lebron, a lot of fans don't not 500 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 6: only do not connect with him, but they're bothered by him, 501 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 6: and it's hard to fully explain why. And that to me, 502 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 6: it was just interesting seeing that yesterday that like I ad. 503 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: No Jern, here's what we've We've talked about this a 504 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: lot on the show, and Jason, he's lived in Los 505 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: Angeles whole life, right, I grew up in southern California. 506 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: So my feeling towards Lebron and how Lakers fancy one. 507 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: It's hard because he wasn't always a rival. He wasn't 508 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: really a rival to Kobe okay, but he was a 509 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: star that took up attention from Kobe, and for whatever reason, 510 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: Laker fans view him as a kind of arrival and 511 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: now we got to cheer from. It's a lot like 512 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: when the Chargers came to town and they're playing in Carson, Like, 513 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: wait a second, Carson is Raider territory and now the 514 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: Rivals like our home team. That doesn't make sense. That's 515 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of it. And I've just always felt 516 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 1: like a lot of the other things he's done, he 517 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: was it was one of his first couple of years 518 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: with the Lakers. You know, he get hurt. Then he 519 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: had the wine. Nobody does that when he's on the bench. 520 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: There was the time when they had the All Star 521 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: Game in Cleveland and he openly talked about going back 522 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: to Cleveland to end his careers. Like you're a Laker, 523 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: you don't do No one doesn't want to end their 524 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: career with the Lakers. And and so here's how we 525 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: worded it. He plays for the Lakers. It's gonna be 526 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: the what the second longest tenure because the combined tenures 527 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: of Cleveland. But no one who's a true Laker fan 528 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: views him as a Laker. He's simply a guy who 529 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: played for the Lakers. Does that make sense? 530 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 6: You know it's not. I completely agree. And by the 531 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 6: way we in the book I write about the Kobe 532 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 6: Lebron's that kind of me like that there was always 533 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 6: It's not only that he was a challenger. They approached 534 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 6: they approached everything completely differently. So Kobe wasn't leaking and 535 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 6: Kobe didn't understand Lebron like that, Like Kobe wouldn't wind 536 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 6: up with friends Lebron. Does you know Kobe was all 537 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 6: enemies Lebron's buddies, guys on their teams. Lebron has interest 538 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 6: outside of the basket. Both doesn't mean he takes basketball. 539 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 6: You know, you can't do what he's done for longevity 540 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 6: and not take it seriously. But Kobe was all about basketball, 541 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 6: even the approach on the court, like you know, Kobe 542 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 6: will shoot over three guys, Lebron passed the open guy, 543 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 6: right and even with a Nike I read about this, 544 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 6: they kind of they there was different wings, right, like 545 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 6: if they hung out with different people, were operated by 546 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 6: different people. So one hundred percent you saw that when 547 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 6: Lebron came and Lakers fans are defacing murals. It's just 548 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 6: so interesting and weird. And the part that what Lebron 549 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 6: was robbed of, the fact that the twenty twenty title 550 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 6: happened in the bubble, would out fans and then there's 551 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 6: no parade. That would change everything because that's an emotional 552 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 6: connection point that could form things and that that did 553 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 6: not exist, and that just and that's where you're right, right, 554 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 6: So the the fact that his high point of the 555 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 6: franchise happened literally in a bubble, it changes history on 556 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 6: that and I do, yeah, it'd be interesting sliding doors 557 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 6: moment if it was like if that's if he went 558 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 6: the title in front of fans and it's a parade, 559 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 6: and I wonder if things are different. 560 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: After best guess is this Lebron's last year? 561 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 6: So my answer is to this, I don't know, but 562 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 6: I genuinely don't think he knows, right. I think that's 563 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 6: what we're kind of seeing now where he's trying to 564 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 6: figure out what he wants to do next. We've seen 565 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 6: it with the contract stuff, and he's clearly not happy 566 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 6: that he's on an expiring contract, and I feel like 567 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 6: he feels a little boxed in because he's gonna want 568 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 6: to do a farewell tour, but he's not going to 569 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 6: do it for some random team, and he wants to 570 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 6: get paid, right. He's big on I don't take pay 571 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 6: cuts anymore. I think he thinks he represents the player 572 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 6: for us like that. So if it comes down to 573 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 6: the Lakers and Caves, those are, to me are the 574 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 6: only two teams I could see him playing for. And 575 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 6: I genuinely I thought, honestly, I had not just of 576 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 6: the book coming out, and it would have been good 577 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 6: for me. I think, like I thought this was going 578 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 6: to be it. I really did, But I also assumed that, 579 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 6: and I could be wrong. I always assumed that he 580 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 6: would announce his final season before the season started, right 581 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 6: like they would just be a giant farewell tour like that. 582 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 6: And the fact that he hasn't done that yet makes 583 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 6: me think we're getting another year at least. But yeah, 584 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 6: that's my I don't know. I don't know. 585 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: The book is called a Hollywood Ending, The Dreams and 586 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: dr of Lebron Lakers.

Remember on Sunday when Sean Payton 608 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 3: head Go to the Broncos said this about having to 609 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: face Jackson Darts instead of well, Russell Wilson. 610 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 8: You know they found a little spark with that quarterback. 611 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 8: I was talking to John Mayor not too long ago, 612 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 8: and I said, we were hoping that that change would 613 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 8: have happened long long after our game Well. 614 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: Bird Bird, because Russell Wilson was the start in Wait. 615 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson used to be the start in Denver for 616 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: Sean Payton to tell or info. 617 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson has responded via social media within the last 618 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 3: ten minutes, posting on x quote classless but not surprised. 619 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 3: Didn't realize you're still bounty hunting fifteen plus years later 620 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: through the media. Let's ride in another. 621 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: Emoji, Wait he did let's. 622 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: Ride hashtag Let's ride. 623 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: You know what that makes me think? It makes me 624 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: think of Return of the Jedi, Return of the Jedi. 625 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: Somebody asked the question, why does it make your return? 626 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: Why don't you tell us, Doug, why does it remind 627 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 3: you of Return of the Jedi? 628 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: Because the most famous scene in Return of the Jedi 629 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: is when Luke takes Darth's mask off, and though most 630 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: of it is mechanical, there still is his father, a 631 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: person inside there's a bunch of machines. But so the 632 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: point is that Russell Wilson is a machine. He is 633 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: a but deep inside there there is still a person. 634 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: And he goes and he actually makes fun of himself 635 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: when he does hashtag let's ride. 636 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 7: Well more than that, mister, mister, mister, I. 637 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: Don't have I don't have a Broncos Country Let's ride. 638 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 3: Yeah we do somewhere. But I do want to point 639 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 3: out that it took Russell Wilson almost forty eight hours 640 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 3: to come up with his comeback. Like I understand you 641 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 3: wouldn't hear it right after the game. We talked about 642 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 3: it yesterday, and I'll never forget the visual of Sean 643 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 3: Payton verbally undressing Russell Wilson on the sideline and Wilson 644 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: not doing anything about it, just taking it in. And 645 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 3: we've seen shots of bow Nicks and Sean Payton going 646 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 3: at it on the sideline. And so while Russ feels 647 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 3: that he may have got him back with this one, 648 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 3: it's Tuesday. 649 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: This was Sunday, and he says, like George with jerkstore line, 650 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: can't you can't. I can't sit on it if you 651 00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: had the jerk store line, you gotta go right with it. 652 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: Let's run. 653 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 3: You're one of their best sellers. Uh, we all know 654 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 3: Constanza's next line. All right. Speaking of the Jets, it 655 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 3: started out today with Woody Johnson saying this about Aaron 656 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 3: glenn Is, head coach, and then their quarterback justin fields. 657 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 9: It looks like he's turning around parts of it. You know, 658 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 9: it's hard when you have a quarterback with you know, 659 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 9: with a rating that we've got, you know is I mean, 660 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 9: he has the ability, but something just is not driving. 661 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 9: But if you look at any any head coach or 662 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 9: a quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results 663 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 9: if you across the league. You have to play consistently 664 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 9: at that position, and that's what we're going to try 665 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 9: to do.
