1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is straight Fired with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: What is up? Straight firefam, It's the Jason McIntyre Straight

3
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: Fuyer for Wednesday, July thirty. First, folks, I you know,

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: I'm a minority owner of a soccer team in Mexico, Nicoxa.

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: Last year at this time, we had a sporting event

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: called the Legas Cup, first time between MLS and League MX,

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: and I flew to Charlotte for the game. You know,

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: see the rest of the ownership group hang out with

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: front office coaches, blah blah blah. It went spectacularly bad.

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: We got destroyed, and I think I talked about it

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: the coach. You know, a couple of us were gathered

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: at the at the hotel bar. The coach came over.

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: It was a little awkward, and he was fired like

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: three or four days later, really ugly. We were tremendous

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: last season, so this season going into Legas Cups, the

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: excitement was palpable. Oh my god, A winnable game in

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: Minnesota then Seattle. I think we're in great shape, folks.

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: I you know, obviously he's a fan of like Steph

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: Curry Game seven against the Cavs. That would hurt badly

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: as a Jets fan. I will never forget losing the

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: ANFC championship game to the Steelers. Close game, We're getting

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: blown out halftime, we come back. All we need is

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: one stop from the defense. We had all the momentum,

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: and we couldn't get a stop in. Roethlisberger just grinded

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: it out. We lose, and then offseason everything fell apart.

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: Jets haven't been back to the playoffs since that game.

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Those are two of the toughest sporting events as a

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: fan that I can ever recall.

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Well.

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: Nikosa losing to Minnesota last night in the League's Cup

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: is right there with those. I mean, we give up

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: a PK in like the seventh minute. I'm just pissed.

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: But within the next ten minutes they commit a red

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: card foul and all of a sudden we got a

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: man advantage for seventy minutes. We're good, right, We pepper

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: the goal with thirty shots, we out corner kicked them

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: twenty to zero and their goalkeeper had the game of

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: his life and we lost one nothing and I am

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: upset and dejected, hurt. It's one of those It's stung.

40
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: And then Anchorman came on after the game on TBS

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: or whatever channel it was, and I just watched that

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: ended up going to bed. But that was a tough one. Unfortunately,

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: we have some good news as some NFL news. We'll

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: talk a little Olympics. Let's get right to the American football.

49
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: All right, I'll just do a quick couple of minutes

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: on the NFL before we get to the Olympics. I

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of this Denver Broncos quarterback situation.

52
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody really cares. I think they have

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: the lowest win total in the league. The Broncos are

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: not going to be good. I don't care what anybody

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: Colin Coward tries to tell you. Yes, I'm a believer

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: in Sean Payton. No, I'm not a believer in this team.

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: This Denver squad does not look good. Zach Wilson has

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: been getting first team reps, and all of a sudden

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: this week, Jarrett Stidham is now getting a lot of

60
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: first team reps and bow Nix looks like he might

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: be the backup, and Wilson's working with the third teamer,

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: so I don't know. Maybe Sean Payton tried to boost

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: some confidence or get bow Knicks to work harder. I

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: don't know. Stidham has been in the system for two years,

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: so he's got the edge. But again, we're talking about

66
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: a Denver team where, you know, fantasy football guys ain't

67
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: taking any of the Broncos quarterbacks. I think Javonte Williams

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: is a good running back. We'll see injuries last year

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: and the wide receiver room depleted with the loss of Judy.

70
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Do you really trust Courtland Sutton when you don't know

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: if any of the quarterbacks are good. The way Denver

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: played last year was like, Hey, we're gonna win with defense,

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: and we're not gonna make mistakes, and we're gonna run

74
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: the football a lot, a lot of screen passes Like

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: that's not to the eyes or ears of fantasy football owners.

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: But bottom line, Denver is not an interesting team. I

77
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be drafting pretty high. I would say

78
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: top five next year. And then the question becomes real big.

79
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: You know, do you go for a Shader Sanders who

80
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: obviously played at Colorado, and then the Broncos could draft

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know, no no idea that that's

82
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: what you know. We always look for quarterback controversies in

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: the preseason. That's one we thought maybe Drew Locke Daniel

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: Jones would be one that hasn't quite materialized yet. But

85
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: there is one kind of sort of brewing in Pittsburgh.

86
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: So Russell Wilson was signed by the Steelers. Everybody was like, oh,

87
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: my goodness, great fit, Mike Tomlin, Russell Wilson, blase and

88
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: then they go out and add Justin Fields and at

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: that point it's like, oh, well, they must have told Russ, hey,

90
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: nothing to worry about. It's all good, you're our guy.

91
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: We're just adding to the quarterback group. But still, Wi

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: Wilson could not have been happy. Right Well, now Wilson's

93
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: got a CAF injury and Justin Field's is running with

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: the Ones, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,

95
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: Justin Field's looks dynamic, whereas Russ look kind of older

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: and you know, less commanding in the pocket. Fields, of course,

97
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: has been known to spray the football around, shall we say,

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: And you probably trust Russ to make fewer mistakes. I'll

99
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: still say Russ is the starter week one, but I

100
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: don't think the full season he's going to be the guy. Remember,

101
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh had quarterback issues. Basically since Big Ben has left,

102
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: they have not been able to find a guy. I

103
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: was high on Picket last year. He's that was a

104
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: bad call, rare bad call by me. Pittsburgh, I don't

105
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: think this is a good team. I think this is

106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: the worst team in the division. They have the biggest

107
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: quarterback question in the division. Sorry, Deshaun Watson is the

108
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: starter in Cleveland. I like him in Stefanski, I don't know.

109
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: I like Mike Tomlin. A lot guys forget about what

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: Tomlin had accomplished with Big Ben in the past last

111
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: two years. Small sample size obviously, I don't know. Ranked

112
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks in the division and then ranked the coaches

113
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: in the division, and you look at it and you're like, oh, shoot,

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh definitely is dead last for quarterbacks in the division.

115
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: And like I like Mike Tomlin, He's never finished under

116
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: five hundred. I'm not a huge Zach Taylor fan. Guy

117
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: went to a Super Bowl. I know it was a

118
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: lot of Burrow again, I'm not as Zach Taylor fan

119
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: John Harbaugh. You know, guy always wins in the playoffs,

120
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: He's got a Super Bowl, hasn't been able to get

121
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: over the hump with Lamar. I just wonder is Tomlin

122
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: right now, not historically, but right now a defensive guy

123
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: in an offensive league? Do they have the worst quarterback

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: coach in the division? And all that I say, I'm

125
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: probably still gonna bet Tomlin in Week one if I

126
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: can get the three in Atlanta. Yes, I'm looking at

127
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: week one. No, I have not planned my trip to

128
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 2: Vegas yet to endo the contest, but like that's where

129
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: we are. As the calendar gets ready to turn to August,

130
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: we get some middle quarterback nontroversies. And oh, by the way,

131
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: I know everybody's excited for Thursday, the big football game

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: to start the preseason Hall of Fame game. CALLI Williams

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: will not play, starters will not play. So you know

134
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: you could go out Thursday night, turn up, get ready

135
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: for the weekend. Yeah, and you don't have to lock

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: in to the Hall of Fame game with a bunch

137
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,800

Speaker 2: Olympics here because I'm kind of getting into some of

144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: the stuff. The problem is similar to how I'm having

145
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: an issue with If you have Amazon, Prime, Apple TV, Netflix,

146
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: all these streaming channels, you don't know when the news

147
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: shows are on and what's good. It's really a lot

148
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 2: of word of mouth unless the streaming service is putting

149
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: out a lot of ads. Hey, come and watch Presumed Innocent.

150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 2: We have a big star named Jake Jillenhall. Yeah, okay,

151
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: so that's how I heard about Presumed Innocent. But a

152
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: lot of these other shows you don't totally hear about them,

153
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: and you've got to like go to the Netflix app

154
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: and then fish around and be like, oh, that looks

155
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: like something I might be interested in, And to me,

156
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: that's that's that's a non starter. Because I've been for

157
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: my entire life turning on a TV and early when

158
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: I was a young kid, looking in the TV guide,

159
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: you know, and then you easily memorize what's on when

160
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: there wasn't a lot of channels back then, and then

161
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: with cable you had Guide. You just click guide and

162
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: you scroll through and I can look at all the

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: fifteen movie channels in this van of like you know,

164
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: ninety seconds and see every movie that's on, and it's like, oh, well,

165
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch this while I do work. But for

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: the streaming services it's difficult, and with the Olympics being

167
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: in Paris and the time change. For instance, as I

168
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: record this late Tuesday night, I'm looking at the Wednesday

169
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: schedule three thirty eight am, rowing, you know, like that's

170
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 2: the kind of stuff I see on the schedule five

171
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: forty five am medaling for BMX cycling, Like none of

172
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: that stuff interests me. Now, there was a basketball game

173
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: early Tuesday morning, Canada and Australia that I wanted to watch.

174
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: Canada was able to come back and win. It would

175
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: look like a good game until the fourth quarter. But

176
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 2: like for instance, today's basketball games are not that spicy.

177
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: And literally the fourth to last event that is happening

178
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: on Wednesday is USA South Shoe DA and in basketball,

179
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: I'm very fired up about that. But and by the way,

180
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: I do think the USA is able to win and

181
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: cover in this spot, I would not advocate betting. My buddy,

182
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: who I go to some sporting events with, he had

183
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: texted me, oh, Usa was easy money against Serbia and

184
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: I was like, damn, I didn't even think to bet

185
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: on that. Anyways, I want to recap a couple of

186
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: things that happen on Tuesday at the Olympics. And again

187
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: I don't know the appetite for you guys in the Olympics.

188
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if you just want so the highlights

189
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: on NBC or social media, but there was some interesting

190
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: stuff that went down. I'll quickly start with the Canada

191
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: Australia basketball game, and I know people are like, come on, Jason,

192
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: Canada Australia really like, let's settle down. Actually, no, Canada's

193
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 2: good and they're probably going to be number two. After

194
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: we win the goal, they'll probably win the silver medal.

195
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: That would be my guess. Canada is very good. They

196
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: pulled away on the fourth. R J. Barrett's playing out

197
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: of his mind. Dude, looks so good. Dylan Brooks is

198
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: showing up. Bottom line is Canada the problem. However, the

199
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: other team that was supposed to be a problem was France,

200
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: and folks, I don't know if you saw France Japan.

201
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: What a friggin game that was. Oh my goodness, Japan

202
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: with Rui Hachimra aka the Japanese Jordan was fighting toe

203
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: to toe with France and one Bin Yama and Gobert.

204
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: It was an incredible match. And then Ruey Hachimra gets

205
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: kind of a weird ejection. My first was, oh my gosh,

206
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: it's just home cooking. What is happening here? How can

207
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: this be an ejection? Seriously? And nevertheless, Japan finds themselves

208
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: up four with about fifteen seconds left, and then France

209
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: comes down. The guy bangs a three and he's fouled.

210
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: Four point play with ten seconds left. The arena erupts

211
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: because of course France is at home and France go.

212
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: Game goes to overtime. I'm assuming wembin Yama said something

213
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: between the fourth quarter and overtime because he took over,

214
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: He had the first eight points in overtime, had a

215
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: big block, a steal. I mean, wembn Yama was everywhere.

216
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: The dude looked like, oh my gosh, he got next.

217
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: In terms of the NBA, he was a force. Go

218
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: Gobert was just getting rebounds. Wembin Yama was everywhere. I

219
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 2: was so impressed with the kid and they pull away.

220
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: But you do have to wonder if there was some

221
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: home cooking going on, because I'm telling you, Haschi Mora

222
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: was playing incredibly and Japan had this five foot four

223
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: guard who made like six threes. And it is fun

224
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: to watch the international game because I'm telling you, if

225
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: you're able to make threes, anything is in play. Anybody

226
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 2: can go down, including the US. Now I don't totally

227
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: see that happening, but Germany will push to us if

228
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: they're making threes and we're not. Now you saw what

229
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: happens when we're hitting threes against Serbia. It's lights out,

230
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: say good night, you got no chance. Let me quickly

231
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: go to the three on three and I haven't watched

232
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: a ton of three on three, but I did check

233
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: it out. Tuesday. We had Franfreschilla on the pod. He

234
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: obviously he's connected with the three on three. We have

235
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Jim or for Debt, the former BYU Legend, former top

236
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: ten pick on the team, and of course they end

237
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: up losing. Now, three on three is fascinating in the

238
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: Olympics because you essentially can bring the ball instantly down

239
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: on a rebound, right if the other team shoots it,

240
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: you get the rebound. You just chuck it to the

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: three point line where your guy is and he can shoot.

242
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: There's no like checking it, no inbounding, none of that stuff.

243
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: It's just instantly the ball's live. And I just thought

244
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: it was really fast paced and exciting, and of course

245
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: this led a bunch of Jabbronis who have no clue

246
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: what's going on in three on three to be like, oh,

247
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: this is crap. Why don't we have like good players here.

248
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if we had our Russell Westbrook and

249
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm just throwing out names guys Walker Kessler. Oh we

250
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: just again just toss it out names. Okay, here's the reality.

251
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: These guys have been working together for months. They've got

252
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: a good squad, they know the game well, they know

253
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: the rules. This isn't the kind of thing where you

254
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: can just toss in an NBA player and get a

255
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: couple practices and be good to go. I know these guys,

256
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: the NBA guys are some of the best athletes in

257
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: the world. It just doesn't work like that. So the

258
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: USA three on three team is good. I think they

259
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: end up meddling disappointing opening results. Now, the women's team

260
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: also suffered what was considered I thought a tough loss,

261
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: but that loss was suffered a month ago when Cameron

262
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: bring the star of the women's Olympic three on three team.

263
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: And when I say star, folks, I am not kidding

264
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: Cameron Brink. I'm sure you remember her from Stanford. Like

265
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: six ' four tall, blonde, super famous on Instagram, obviously

266
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: a great basketball player, shot blocking machine, and not like

267
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: one of these just like non movable bigs. She is

268
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: super athletic, screen and roll like she can basically do everything.

269
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: And they lose her to an ACL a month ago.

270
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: That just sent the team upside down. And all these

271
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: people out there on the internet, well, let's just plug

272
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: in Angel Reese. It just does not work like that, guys.

273
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: That's not how it works. You can't just say, oh,

274
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: let's there's three on three teams working together forever. Hey,

275
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: can you get out there and uh and give it

276
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: a go for us? No, that's not what goes on.

277
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: And they lost their first game, which was tough, and

278
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, the Internet, and again I know I

279
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: keep saying the Internet, but it's just disappointing when there's

280
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: a sporting event going on, and you go online to

281
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: chick take the temperature. All these people are taking shots

282
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: at Hayley van Lyth, the blonde who also instagram famous,

283
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: only attractive and really talented at basketball. You know she's

284
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: been with this three on three team. I'm telling you,

285
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: with Brink they roll to the Gold, no doubt. She

286
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: played at the Van Lidth played at Louisville and then

287
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: transferred to LSU. Had a tough go against Caitlin Clark

288
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: in the final four, as everybody does. I think she's

289
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: playing at TCU next year. But she's a big deal

290
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: in women's college basketball. She's a bit of a polarizing player.

291
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: I think, you know, obviously very attractive and a lot

292
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: of followers, and like as we're seeing in women's sports,

293
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: that does rub some people the wrong way. Out of

294
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: her control, screwed up, but it's a thing anyway. So

295
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: both three on three teams lost, which was not great

296
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: for the US. I did tune into some volleyball. I

297
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: think I've talked about it. Chase Budinger, the former NBA

298
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: player who was like a really really good high school

299
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: player and then I think he had like seven years

300
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Like that's nothing to scoff at, folks.

301
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: He is a good wing and he actually lives kind

302
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: of near me out here in LA and you know,

303
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: we're in a beach town, and he's a big volleyball player.

304
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: I know a couple guys who have been on the

305
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: volleyball court with him, and obviously super nice guy and

306
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: a really good athlete. And they they took a loss

307
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, which was disappointing, but they'll still advance out

308
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: of group play and they'll have a great shot at

309
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: the gold I'll definitely be rooting for him, But like,

310
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: these are the sports that I'm kind of interested in.

311
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,119
Speaker 2: At the Olympics, I'm sorry I couldn't totally get into gymnastics.

312
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: A lot of people were texting me, oh, did you

313
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: see the USA one goal. I was like, yeah, yeah,

314
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: I saw it. Okay, exciting. There was one goosebump inducing

315
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: moment for me on Tuesday, and it was women's rugby.

316
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: I never really watched rugby in my life. And when

317
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: we went to London, we saw our good friends who

318
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: used to live here and they moved back and their

319
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: son is like a very promising rugby player. He's huge

320
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: for his age and he's really like on like the

321
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: one of the top youth rugby clubs in London, and

322
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: so I know a little bit about the sport. But

323
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: the US was trailing Australia as the clock is like

324
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: winding down, and they essentially had what was kind of

325
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: being compared to the Auburn Alabama kick sixth. I don't

326
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: know if you guys remember that the missed field goal

327
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 2: that was short and run back for the touchdown in

328
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 2: tuscalou I think it was in Tuscalosa. Unbelievable ending, No, no,

329
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: it was all it was Auburn did it at home

330
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: against Alabama. Was done in Tuscalousa my bed. And the

331
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: US was facing Australia in rugby and the US was

332
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: like way deep in their end. They couldn't do anything.

333
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: And this one US player all of a sudden breaks

334
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: out of a tackle and there was somehow nobody behind

335
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: that defender and she just goes like the distance and

336
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: the crowd's freaking out and you can see her grinning like,

337
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 2: oh my god, is this happening. And it was just

338
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: gut wrenching for Australia, but awesome for the US and

339
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: we got a medal. So listen, I don't get too

340
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: heavy into the Olympics just because again, this schedule is difficult.

341
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not a tape delay kind of guy.

342
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: It's just that not for me. And you know, between Peacock,

343
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: NBC USA, there's like all these channels, it would just

344
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: be so much easier. I know this is gonna sound silly.

345
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: If the Olympics were on like I don't know, ESPN,

346
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: you know, then it's like, Okayn, ESPN two, ESPN News

347
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: and you got all the Olympics. You just go one

348
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: place on the cable guide and then they're all there.

349
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: Fox Hell, we could do it Fox F S one

350
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: F two boom, done.

351
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Deal.

352
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: But it's just tough with the streaming aspect, you know,

353
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: the time difference. This is swimming. Like, listen, it's exciting.

354
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: The Olympics are fun and I kind of got into

355
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: them a little bit. Obviously with the men swoops, I

356
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: will be heavy, heavy into it, but yeah, I'll wrap

357
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: up quickly with this. Sheryl Swoops, Caitlin Clark nonsense. Now

358
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: the tie in here is the US women's basketball team.

359
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: Remember does not have Caitlin Clark at the Olympics. Well,

360
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: guess what. Someone went and looked, Oh, how is the uh,

361
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: how's the attendance for the US women's basketball team? Folks?

362
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: I asked if this had been fact checked, and nobody's

363
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: answered it. But there's been no pushback against these numbers.

364
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: I guess it's not hard to look up attendance members.

365
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: So for women's basketball, the most watched game so far

366
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 2: in the arena was Spain and China twenty seven thousand.

367
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: Number two Nigeria Australia twenty four thousand, Then weirdly, Germany, Belgium, France, Canada.

368
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: Both matches had twenty thousand people. So there's some solid

369
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: numbers right for a women's basketball group play game. No

370
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: USA yet, And then fifth was Serbia Puerto Rico fifteen

371
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: thousand people. What where's the US Japan? Now, the US

372
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: has won gold a bunch of years in a row.

373
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: They dominate this and USA Japan only had thirteen thousand

374
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: people show up for the game, way below the other matches.

375
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: Not great.

376
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: And of course, the Caitlin Clark opportunists, if take an

377
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: opportunity to say, hey, you think that would be the

378
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: case if Clark were here? Nope, she is box office

379
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: people would have been lined up, probably standing room only

380
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: to watch Caitlin Clark with Team USA, and it's just

381
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: a severe miscalculation by the US. And I get it,

382
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: you know, she didn't make training camp because she was

383
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: at the Final four. But then you've got people like

384
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: Cheryl Swoops, the legend, the what, four time WNBA Champ,

385
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: three time MVP, All Defensive Player, Defensive Player of the Year,

386
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: her accolades. She needs no introduction. Cheryl Swoops amazing career,

387
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: and it should be noted she's a Kitlin Clark hater.

388
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: She's clearly jealous of what Clark is doing for the league.

389
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 2: Swoops was a huge star and a great player, but

390
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: she wasn't a national name to get people to the

391
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: games the way Clark is. It's just a fact. I'm

392
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: sorry that that's how it was, Cheryl Swoops. I'm sorry.

393
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: And so she's coming out now and being like, well,

394
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 2: Angel reaches the Rookie of the Year, because without her,

395
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: Chicago would be a bottom feeder and Indiana would be

396
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: fine without Kaitlin Clark because all she does is pass

397
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: the ball. It's like, whoa what are you doing? You know,

398
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: And I'll just wrap up with this because I don't

399
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: want to do too much. Kaitlin Clark w NBA's off

400
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: for a month. My point is someone in Cheryl's hoops

401
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: camp needs to be like, yo, Cheryl, listen, love your babe.

402
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: Can we dial this down? Can we just stop? This

403
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: is you're damaging your brand doing this. And frankly, listen,

404
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: I'll go off on tingents, I'll say stupid stuff. I've

405
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: got people who I respect will tell me, listen, Jay,

406
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: you got it. This is no fly zone, bro, It's

407
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: not smart. Like Okay, I hear you. People I respect

408
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: will come up to me, not gonna yell at me

409
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: online because that's not and that's not gonna do anything

410
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: but make the case why you shouldn't do it. And

411
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: I think somebody needs to get to Cheryl shoops because

412
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: this is getting ugly. Anyways, USA South Shoe Dana is

413
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: the big one today at noon if it three Eastern,

414
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: will obviously have a lot on that tomorrow. Talk to

415
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 2: you then,
