00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: I love it. I love being with you. I tell

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: you what I would like to move in with you.

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: But that's another story for another day, you know. Can

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: you believe? Can you believe that we're going to talk

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: about women's basketball again? Have been years, yet, decades that

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: have gone by my doing this show that we never

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: touched on. Two things soccer. We I mean three things soccer,

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: NHL at women's basketball. Last week we opened up the

24
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: show Women's Basketball Today, Women's basketball, in particular Caitlyn Clark,

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: who did not get selected to the USA Women's Olympic team.

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: All right, when you heard that news your immediate reaction,

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: mister Bucky Brooks.

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: I knew the the sports war was gonna go crazy

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: because Caitland Clark is one of the more popular figures,

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: maybe the most popular figure in women's basketball. But I

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: knew they wouldn't have enough nuance to understand why it

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: was going to be so difficult for her to make

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Team USA. Team USA is sixty six and three. They've

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: won seven straight Olympic gold medals.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: It's been a.

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: Team that is probably the hardest team for anybody to make.

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: You've had Hall of Fame players or Hall of Fame

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: players not making on their first try. Dawn Staley didn't

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: make it, Deanna Tarassi didn't make it. There have been

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: others who have failed to make it because it's so

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: difficult and because experience, particularly international experiences coveted. I knew

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: that Caten Clark would have a tough time, but I

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: knew the greater world would would lose their minds because

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: they just can't imagine a world without Caitlin Clark.

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: When it comes to women's basketball, you know.

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: You hit the nail on the head. They're gonna win

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: the goal with or without Caitlyn Clark. That we know. Okay,

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: they're that good. But here's the question I think that

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: people have to delve into because first off, it was

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: a political thing. It's a popularity contest. How can I

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: put her on the team? First off? Who benefits from

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: her being on the team? Obviously not so much the

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: team because I mentioned they're gonna win the goal. I

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: think it's the growth of the sport. Okay, broadcasting doubt

55
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: benefit of she's on the team because it'll be must

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: see TV. Everybody wants to turn her out to see

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: her the other women on the team. They'll get some visibility,

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: increase visibility with her being the team. Where's people gon

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: to tune in? People gonna watch it anyway, and they're

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna win anyway. But not having her on the team,

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: even if she didn't play, but she probably wouldn't play much,

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: I think was a bad move in general from a

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: marketing point of view, not from a basketball point of view,

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: but from marketing the sport in general agreed.

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: I mean, look from a marketing standpoint, yeah, she's the

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: most popular person that you have. You should bring more

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: eyeballs to the sport. There's no denying that there would

68
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: be greater interest in the sport and all of those things.

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: But I just think about like the WNBA, right, and

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: the positives has been like arenas have been filled in

71
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: that stuff. But every night is an indictment on the

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: league when either she gets filed, she gets touched, She

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: doesn't play well, players aren't in endearing to her because

74
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: of all the popularity she's brought to the sport and

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: all of that other stuff. I could see a team

76
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: being like kind of like, yo, we're good on that.

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: But what really happened is she hasn't been in the circuit,

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: meaning she hasn't played any of the exhibitions.

79
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: The head coach doesn't know her, has never coached her.

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: And so when you talk about picking the twelve best

81
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: or fifteen best ladies to represent like there has to

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: be a trust factor. And because Caitlyn Clark hasn't played

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: in this group, they don't know her, they don't have

84
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: any skins in the game on her, so that's why

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: she was left off.

86
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: It amazes me. I was on social media yesterday just

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: watching some of the quotes. It's amazing. I mean, I'm

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna I don't know who said these things, but these

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: are some of the things that I read. I rather

90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: watch grass grow, I'd rather watch paint dry, I'd rather

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: watch dir just be moved around because Caitlyn Clark is

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: none on the team, all right, If she's there, it's

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: appointment TV. You people whoever did this, take your brain,

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: put it in a museum and study it for how

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: dumb you are. It is unbelievable. I'm reading about this.

96
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: Someone on serious EXCM I don't even know the name,

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: point out how silly it is for a sport that

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: it's trying to grow to have someone as popular as

99
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: clocked out on the team, even if she stinks it

100
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: was written, which she does, and that's a horrible vision.

101
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, I think it was Michelle

102
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: Tafoy who said this on social media. It was a

103
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: lost opportunity, writing it was a chance not only to

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: grow the sport, but create interest. And she went as

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: far as to call the decision detrimental to the sport. Wow,

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: the sport will live the sport and men's basketball the NBA,

107
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: they survived after wil Chamberlain, they survived after Michael Jordan.

108
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: They survived that. There's so many superstars and the WNBA

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: will survive, and the Olympic team will survive without Caitlyn

110
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Clark on the team.

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, they definitely will survive without her on

112
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 2: the team.

113
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: And I understand that. But here's what has happened.

114
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: That Kaitlyn Clark conversation has been hijacked by people that

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: are casuals with a political agenda. Okay, by casuals, I

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: mean they don't really know women's basketball, they aren't really

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: fans of women's basketball. They're using Kaitlyn Clark as a

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: pawn to advance a political agenda. And what has happened

119
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: is because so many voices are weighing in, is mudding

120
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: the water when it comes to what we're really talking

121
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: about the game. If we were talking about the game,

122
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: and we were talking about the team and putting the

123
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: best team, well then you could be again to have

124
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: the discussion that we love to have in this country

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: about a meritocracy. Does Caitlyn Clark merit a spot on

126
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: the team based on how good she is. My question

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: to the people who are saying yes, well, who are

128
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: you taking off?

129
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: Who is she more accomplished than that?

130
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: It's on the team right now, and there's no one

131
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: that you can remove. I mean, there have been MVPs

132
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: in the WNBA who have.

133
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: Not made the team when they were in the midst.

134
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: Of ana in ANMVP season. So who are you removing

135
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: to bring Caitlin Clark on as a feel good story.

136
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: But remember, in our country, we hate that. We like

137
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: for everybody to earn it. We don't want people to

138
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: be given stuff, so we can't have it both ways.

139
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: We wanted a meritocracy in some areas and not a

140
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: meritocracy in other areas.

141
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: It amazes me. I mean, I don't remember any backlash

142
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: in any sport as big as this situation. And I

143
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,119
Speaker 1: think you're right, it's not the fans of the sport,

144
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: because I would have to mention the fact that the

145
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: people who are going crazy and they're outrage, they're not

146
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: following the WNBA. They never have. They follow this one girl.

147
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: She's popular and they want to just go crazy and

148
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: they say it's a political thing. Some have even gone

149
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: so far as it's a racial thing. These people are crazy.

150
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Those people who are saying these things couldn't name five

151
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: players in the WNBA. And it makes me sick, it

152
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: really does. I have never seen such outlandish behavior. And

153
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: any All Star team that's picked baseball, football, whatever it

154
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: may be, in the NBA, the NBA game, I've never

155
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: seen anything like this, have you? It's crazy?

156
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Well, I mean like this has kind of been part

157
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: for the course when it comes to Kaitlyn Clark in

158
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: a discussion, and there's so many different layers to the discussion.

159
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: One the basketball discussion part of it. If we talk

160
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: about Kaitlyn Clark as a hooper, she's a great hooper.

161
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: But right now, when we talk about in the pro game,

162
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: not the college game. In the pro game, we have

163
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: seen some of the deficiencies that she has in her game.

164
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: The physicality is bothered.

165
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: She's a little more one dimensional in terms of just

166
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: being a three point shooter, not necessarily a playmaker in

167
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: this game.

168
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: That's what it's like in the WNBA.

169
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: For those who are familiar with international ball, man international basketball,

170
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: women's basketball is ten times more physical than this game.

171
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be tough for her to exist and

172
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: to be a productive player when she struggles.

173
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: With the physicality of this game.

174
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: The other part that I think everyone has to understand

175
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: when we talk about a team like, it's not just

176
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: about one player. And I think the fear internally is

177
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: if Kaitlyn Clark is down at the end of the bench,

178
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: every conversation when they come to the media is going

179
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: to be about, well, when is Kaitlyn Clark going to play?

180
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: And no matter how accomplished the coach, no matter how

181
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: I experienced, the coach man to have to deal with

182
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: that question, have to deal with the Kaitlyn Clark stuff

183
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: over and over and over again, it becomes a major distraction.

184
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: And so it's going to be a part of the

185
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 2: conversation no matter what when it comes to women's basketball.

186
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: But her presence on the team could be a distraction

187
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: and pretty divisive because we I would say, the simple

188
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: media is going to make it about Kaitlyn Clark versus

189
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: Team USA no matter how many times they talk about it.

190
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: She has to earn her way into the rotation and

191
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: era minutes.

192
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm with you on THATTT I think that

193
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: to fuse all this situation, this craziness. It would be

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: really wonderful and it'll never happen. If Kaitlyn Clark would

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: stand by the podium, have some sort of a news

196
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: conference and say it's okay, you know, it's probably best

197
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: for me. I'm going to grow in the sport. I

198
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: need a rest. I went directly from college to the

199
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: WNBA and a grinding schedule. I'm learning the WNBA. I'm

200
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: getting beat up on a nightly basis, and I think

201
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: it's best for me to sit out. And it was

202
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: a Kansas Parker never made it. She was she never

203
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: made an Olympic team. Right, the first time was in Tokyo.

204
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I think she was not on the team. So it's

205
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: not a big deal. I mean, so she didn't. She'll

206
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: make the next one. But she needs to diffuse it herself.

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: No one else could do that. If she could do that,

208
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: she would quiet all these naysayers. I mean, I think

209
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: that's the way to go.

210
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: No, it wouldn't matter what she said. It wouldn't matter

211
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: if she said.

212
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: If she could come out and talk about the sport

213
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: is in great hands, YadA, YadA, YadA. There are people

214
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: that are going to use her as a pawn to

215
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: just create chaos and to make it a situation where

216
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: everything related to the team is going to be divisive.

217
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: So I appreciate her standing up if she does take

218
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: that stand, but you shouldn't necessarily be on her.

219
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: It should be on us.

220
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: The I said, newfound women's basketball fans that are making

221
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark a bit of a martyr to understand and

222
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: educate ourselves on international play, Team USA and all those things.

223
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: They don't need to apologize to us. The proof is

224
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: in the pudding. She has terrific skills and a great

225
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: future and potential, But I can't say that she's better

226
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 2: than any of the people that are on the team.

227
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you on that. You know,

228
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: and you talk about craziness, Okay, I mean this story

229
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: that came out the other day and I wanted to

230
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: share it with you. It revolves around football, and it

231
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: was a green Light podcast. Former NFL star Chris Long

232
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: did it and the Package running back Josh Jacobs talking

233
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: about this game the Eagles are playing the package in

234
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: South Paulo, Brazil, and he says, don't wear green and really,

235
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: when I first heard it, wow. I mean, if I

236
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: was a player and I heard what's going on and

237
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: they have to be broadcast, I mean, they're staying in

238
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: the hotel room and they're gonna be a military like

239
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: it's a transportation to the bullpark, whatever it may be.

240
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going I mean, and then they

241
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: say it was all false. I mean to me, the

242
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: NFL has to be smarter than that. A. They knew

243
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: there wasn't going to be a problem. B If in fact,

244
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Green was a situation with Gogwood gangs, why would they

245
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: pick two teams that are basically are green. The Eagles

246
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: were green and the Green Bay Packers are green. I

247
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: don't get I mean this thing again, the dangers of

248
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: social media, the dangers of people you know, getting their

249
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: news source basically from social media and podcasts.

250
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: Well, I would say the bigger issue was Josh Jacobs. Look,

251
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: he just misunderstood what was told to him and he

252
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: related that to the public. And as you and I know,

253
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: working in radio, we have to be very careful and

254
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: responsible for what we say. He just needed to make

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: sure he understood what he was saying in the potential

256
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: impact of his words when he said them on Chris

257
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Long's podcast.

258
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: He didn't.

259
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: He came back conditioner an apology. But look, it's salacious,

260
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: it's sensational. When you say that he we can't wear

261
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: green because of ganggay City in another country. You know

262
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: that everyone is going to run with it, particularly on

263
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: Twitter or X.

264
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: It's one of those things like you live and you learn.

265
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: There's enough time to kind of separate his words from

266
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: what's actually going to take place in September.

267
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, it it costs a little bit of a stir.

268
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I heard the story. I said, wow,

269
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the NFL is probably gonna cancel

270
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: that game, and maybe I'm making a home game in

271
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: neither of Philadelphia or Green Bay. But thank good, I'm

272
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: sure the NFL checked all that stuff. I'm they're not

273
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: gonna just throw a game down there in Brazil and say, Okay,

274
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: you do the best you can, good luck. There's gangs

275
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: down there that ain't gonna happen. There's no way, right,

276
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: So then everything is good there. Great. Now, I did

277
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: mention in Game one coming into the set, but that

278
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: he was the best and we got a touch on

279
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: this at least, and you know about Game one between

280
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: Boston and Dallas and NBA players Game two tonight, and

281
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: he was the best player, and he was better than Luca,

282
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: He's better than Kyrie. I'm talking about Christa's Porzingis. Celtics

283
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: won that game one O seven eighty nine Game two.

284
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: As mentioned tonight, Dallas only had eight assists in a

285
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: game that eleven turnovers. But Porzingis scored eighteen of his

286
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: twenty points in the first half. Twenty points, six rebounds,

287
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: three blocks in twenty minutes. And the Celtics right now,

288
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: this guy has not played like in weeks. How does

289
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: he come off the bench and play like he did?

290
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Was it because Dallas had no scattery put on this guy.

291
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand how things like that could happen. You

292
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: would think he'd be somewhat rusty. I mean, I don't

293
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen tonight. There's no way. I

294
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: don't think. But he came out there and like Gangbusters,

295
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: and honestly, he was in fact the best player on

296
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: the court.

297
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: He was the best player on the court.

298
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: I think you also have to understand this for pro athletes,

299
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: when you are motivated to prove nasaiers wrong, you have

300
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: a way to be able to summon other parts of your.

301
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: Skill set and your character.

302
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: Kristaph Porzingis had been a member of the Dallas Bavericks.

303
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: Us about him and Luca and I getting along him

304
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: not necessarily fitting into the culture that the Mavericks had

305
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: established and those things. And because he had an opportunity

306
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: to go back to play, to kind of like have

307
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: a revenge game, he was ready to play, and that

308
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: emotion got him going. He got off to a great

309
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: start and then just kind of roll with it.

310
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: We will see.

311
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: Now that he's settled in, what does he look like

312
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: in game two, because now the emotion part of it,

313
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: the emotional part of it would be done. Does he

314
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: have enough fitness and stamina and skill to adapt to

315
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: what the Dallas Mavericks bring to him now that they

316
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: know that he certainly can hurt them by himself.

317
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: He hadn't played a game since April to twenty ninth,

318
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he wasn't practicing much. Maybe he goes

319
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: to the gym and just takes a couple of shots

320
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: shooting practice, but he wasn't running. I'm sure he had

321
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: a big calf. I don't see how that happens, and

322
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you got a guy like Luca.

323
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: Basically he was shut out. To be quite honest, he

324
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: didn't dominate the game as he normally does. I was.

325
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: You know, look, in a way, I'm happy because everybody

326
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: wanted to bury the Boston Celtics. They say they choke

327
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to the playoffs. They were stuck on

328
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: seventeen titles. They are right now for the last sixteen years.

329
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: They were stuck on seventeen titles. Back in twenty twenty two,

330
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: they lost to Golden State. Last year they choked it

331
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: up to Miami. So, you know, I think the storyline

332
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: for the Boston Celtics at least was when it matters,

333
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: they fold. I don't know if that's a fair assessment

334
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: of the Boston Celtics, but that's basically a label that's

335
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: put on them. So they had something to prove. But

336
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: I think this series is not going to be one

337
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: and done. It's not going to be a four game sweep.

338
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: I think I make all as deep as six games.

339
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

340
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: Look at look, NBA series don't start until the road

341
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: team wins the game, and the Mavericks traditionally have not

342
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: won the first game of a series. I think Jason

343
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: Kidd is one in five in the postseason. In series

344
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: openers they lost. But what really matters is whether they

345
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: win the next game in Game two, because if they

346
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: get a split in Game two, they go back to

347
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: Dallas with a one to one split and they have

348
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: two home games where you would like to think home team,

349
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: you get a chance to go up three to one.

350
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: A big game for the Mavericks. They want to make

351
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: the adjustments. They got to understand what they're dealing with

352
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: the Celtics. But it was gonna be hard to beat

353
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: the Celtics on the night where they're just draining threes

354
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 2: like they were draining them, and poor sing Gets played

355
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: a big role in that.

356
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: And I love what Jason Kidd did at the news conference.

357
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: He went in the news conference and said that Jalen

358
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: Brown is the best player in the Celtics, which basically

359
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: I think he is. I think Jalen Burn all year

360
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: long has been the best player on the Boston Celtics.

361
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: And Jason Tatum, I mean, obviously when it comes to

362
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs right now, he has had problems when playoffs.

363
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: But I think what Jason kidds trying to do is

364
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: get into the heads of both Brown and Tatum by

365
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: maybe being a little devices between the two, and they

366
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: handle it very nicely. They just shook it off and

367
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: they knew. I think it was Jalen Brown that said

368
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: that the news conference set. I know what Jason Kids

369
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: trying to do, coach of the Mavericks, trying to get

370
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: into I had him they have an internal squabble. Ain't

371
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But it was a good move on the

372
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: Jason kidpod. I thought it was great.

373
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a good move.

374
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 2: But maybe he was being honest and maybe from a

375
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: coach at the standpoint, maybe there's something where Jason Kidd

376
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: looks at the tape and says, guys, we got to

377
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: make sure that we set our defense to defend Jaylen

378
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: Brown as the priority more so than Jason Tatum. And

379
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: every coach has to do that when he looks at

380
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: a team, he has to figure out who are the

381
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: guys that we need to be careful loves, who's the

382
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: top priority to defend, how are we going to do it,

383
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: and what do we want to rank the priorities in

384
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: terms of the things that we have to get done

385
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: to win a game, and maybe Jaylen Brown, because of

386
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: his game, his dynamic game, maybe he is more of

387
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: a thorn in their side than Jason Tatum.

388
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that. He is. Bucky Brooks, I

416
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: Sports right now. But we have a caller by the

417
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: name of John from New Hampshire. John, you want to

418
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: talk to Bucky Brooks. And the only reason you're on

419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: John is because I used to live in New Hampshire

420
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: and I love that state license plate, live free or Die.

421
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: What part of New Hampshire are you from?

422
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: Well, right now, I'm in huts to New Hampshire.

423
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: That doesn't Coe, that doesn't count too close to Massachusetts.

424
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 6: I lived at Blant, Oh, Okay, that's a bit further

425
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 6: north to say that. Yes, I'm not a fan of

426
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 6: New Hampshire. Have only been here about a year and

427
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 6: a half. I was here to come stay with my brother,

428
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 6: et cetera. But I consider myself obviously somewhere from Massachusetts

429
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 6: because I grew up in the next city from Boston, Summerville,

430
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 6: which most famous.

431
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: For all right, it's enough, and we don't really care

432
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: what's on your minds.

433
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, I won't let you know where I'm from,

434
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 6: where I'm going. As far as Caitlin Clark, you know,

435
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 6: this is kind of maybe a crazy idea, but you know,

436
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 6: she could play for another country depending on ancestry, right,

437
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 6: I mean, you remember my Tiata played for Italy in

438
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 6: the Olympics. You know, Paulo Bonco, who does hold dual citizenship,

439
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 6: could play for either Italy or the United States. Maybe

440
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 6: Caitlin Clark's grandmother or who whatever is from Great Britain,

441
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 6: and she could play for Great Britain and that was

442
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 6: turned off. Maybe that could turn off for American sandbase.

443
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 6: But obviously Great Britain would benefit, she'd benefit. Obviously NBC,

444
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 6: which is carrying the Olympics, wants her there no matter

445
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 6: what country she's from. So just kind of atlandish tape.

446
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 6: Maybe it's probably a one percent chance that could happen.

447
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 6: But you know, it's certainly something to talk about.

448
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Interesting. I'm impressed. I really am very interesting. John. Thank

449
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: you for cale, thanks for checking in. All right, let's

450
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: move into this area because I think that we saw

451
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: this coming. As I mentioned, it's about gambling, all right.

452
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: You can't turn around anywhere, Buck, And you know that

453
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: without seeing commercials, hearing commercials about various websites gambling situation.

454
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I'm not into it. Even though I worked at racetracks

455
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: and greyhound tracks all my life, I never really placed

456
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: many bets of it, any bets. I just I did

457
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: it as a pr guy to promote the place. Now,

458
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: gambling always been there where in baseball. Let's go back

459
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: in time. Nineteen nineteen, the Black Sox scandal, Pe Row's

460
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: suspension from the game in the NBA. The official Tim

461
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: donahe he was tossed out of the league. Connie Hawkins,

462
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: Roger Brown, they were thrown out back in the fifties

463
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: CCNY City College of New York and the scandals of

464
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: New York City. Now we've got baseball again, all right,

465
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not surprised. And you got this clown from

466
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: the Padres took up Pete Marcano. I mean, he's gone

467
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: for baseball and five other guys. Here's the deal, the

468
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: one thing, and it's going to happen. It always happens,

469
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: is going to continue to happen because people have that

470
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: urge to gamble. But the one thing that bugged me

471
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 1: when this whole thing happened the other day, when they

472
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: gave this guy from the Padres a lifetime band the commissioner,

473
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: he says that show Tani has been totally exonerated as

474
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: a baseball gambly suspect. How why tell us, Rob Manford,

475
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. How this

476
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: guy and his former Palea interpreter, if Pepe Musahara is

477
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: able to establish millions of dollars in credit and seventeen

478
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: million in debt with bookmakers, I don't get it. How

479
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: this guy Otani is cleared. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

480
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look that the interpreter is going to

481
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: jail like he admitted guilt.

482
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: There's an admission of guilt.

483
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you just want Otani to

484
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: take the rep just for being his friend, but if

485
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: the other guy admitted that he was the one that

486
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: was involved, in it, then Otane is obviously a quitter

487
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: or not implicated in it. They did the investigation, they

488
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: talked to the guy who took on the charges in

489
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: the weight, and if he doesn't put Otani in it,

490
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 2: I don't know how we can say that Otoni has

491
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: done it.

492
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 3: Those two were the ones that were involved in it.

493
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't get. I mean, according to Major League Baseball, Markana,

494
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: who was sentenced to life out of baseball, he lost

495
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: all of his parlays involving the Pirates and the only one,

496
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: get this, four point three percent of all this Major

497
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: League Baseball related bets overall, So he wasn't even a

498
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: good gambler. That's the thing. But one of two things here,

499
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: number one, and it helps explain why the parlay bets

500
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: that legal sports books, including those in businesses with Major

501
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: League Baseball, are hustled, and they're hustled hard because you

502
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: can't win him as they're super sucker bets. That's what

503
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: they are. Whoever goes to a parlay bet, it's a

504
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: sucker bet. And Marcano's tout was probably some clown and

505
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: who's nothing about the game of baseball. It's just crazy looking.

506
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's healthy. I just don't I know

507
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: that habits legalized, has been legalized for years in Great Britain,

508
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: but they don't have the sports that we have. They

509
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: really got soccer and that's basically it. We've got so

510
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: many and I just think that people right now, with

511
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: the economy maybe being a little sour, people are looking

512
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: to say, I'll throw a couple of shekels over there.

513
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: They got myself out of a hole. Maybe that's why

514
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: they gamble. I don't know.

515
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, people gain before a lot of reasons.

516
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: It's no different than why people play fantasy sports. There's

517
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: a competitive part of it that it lures people in.

518
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: The money is the money, but there's a competitive part

519
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: of trying to watch a game, try and make a

520
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: few bucks while kind of scratching that competitive itch. The

521
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: problem that you have is when sports kind of got

522
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: in bed with the gamblers, they've created these situations where

523
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: now the thing that you were worried about, the boogeyman,

524
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: the boogeyman is now close to your players because your

525
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: players see all the stuff there's players see all the

526
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 2: money that's being in exchange, and they are probably some

527
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: of the most competitive people that you can find they

528
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: want to get in on the action, even though, look

529
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: we talked about the league rules and how they constantly

530
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: talk to the players about what they can and can't do.

531
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: It's hard, it's hard to resist that temptation to getting

532
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: involved on the action.

533
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: No, I hate what you're saying, but I have no

534
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: friends of mine they say they can't watch a game

535
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: without putting money on it because it makes it a

536
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: little more interesting to them. Good for them, God bless him.

537
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: I don't have that feeling. I don't have it. I

538
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: don't need that juice on a game. And I just

539
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: watched the game for the beauty of the game. And

540
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: I love sports, That's why I do it. But and

541
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: I think, to some extent it is a disease. It

542
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: really is, and people can't control themselves. But you know, bet,

543
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: as they say, bet with your head, not over it.

544
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: But this baseball situation with Otani, if he was an

545
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: Ulso Ran player, there'd be a different story. That's just

546
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: my take because I'm not buying that. I don't know.

547
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you you are dead said that Tony Otani

548
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: bet on baseball, even though like there has.

549
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 3: Been no investigation. They said that he has placed a bet.

550
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: He has been cleared of it, he's been free of it.

551
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: But like perception becomes reality, and that's why baseball and

552
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: the sports don't want their guys there, because no matter

553
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: what has been said legally, like there's this this shadow

554
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: that hangs over here where you believe that he is

555
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: based on it, even though the evidence of whatever proves otherwise.

556
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: You're right. That's just the way I am. I'm as

00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: you about it now now clashing like this isn't good

594

Speaker 1: for anybody that's coming right up. He's Bucky Brooks on

595
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: Andy Firmo. We got his Bucky in a couple of

596
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: minutes from now. But Buck, I just heard Martin's report

597
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: and he said there were fifty four thousand people in

598
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: London watching the Phillies play baseball yesterday. And the first

599
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: thing that came to mind, like, if I had a

600
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: cricket match here in the US of A. I don't

601
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: think we draw fifty four thousand people. I don't think so.

602
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Would you go to a cricket match here.

603
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: No, we wouldn't.

604
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: But I did see that our national twenty team knocked

605
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: off a team, which was a big deal. It's a

606
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: big upset for us to win a cricket match.

607
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, that was big. Yeah, that was a

608
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: big right. But I don't think you were fifty four

609
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: thousand people there. Anyway, you talk about college football, the

610
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: college football playoff games for the first time, they're gonna

611
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: go head to head with the NFL this year, and

612
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: I get the answer, it's about money. But there was

613
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: a time, and you know this, when the NFL gave

614
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: Fridays and Friday night for high school sports. Saturday was

615
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: reserved for college Christmas Day was reserved for the NBA.

616
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: And when you get bigger, it become a bully like

617
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: the NFL is becoming right now. And I love the NFL.

618
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, it's about money, and I get it.

619
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: A bigger is nolways better? Because this is what's happening

620
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: right now. The College Football is announced its broadcast schedule

621
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: for the expanded twelve team postseason, setting up a Saturday

622
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: clash in December late December that's going to feature five

623
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: major overlapping football telecasts, with three first round college football

624
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: games and two NFL Week sixteen games. And this is

625
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: the schedule. Noon College Football one o'clock, Texans Chiefs four o'clock.

626
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: This is all Eastern Time College Football, Round one four

627
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: point thirty in the after an Eastern Times Steelers Ravens

628
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: nine eight o'clock College football. That'll be on ESPN that

629
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: night on ABC as well, Good, bed and different. I

630
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: don't know, And people are going to just line up

631
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: on the TV set at least they don't overlap, but

632
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: they're on the same day, which I don't know if

633
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: that's healthy, good, better and different. I don't know.

634
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: Look, I mean, I think football is a building to

635
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of different people, but also think they have

636
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: their respective fan bases to College football fans are always

637
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: going to tune into college football whenever it's on hardcore.

638
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: NFL fans are going to watch NFL games when they're

639
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: ever there own, particularly when they involve their team. It

640
00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: won't impact the ratings, I think. Look, football is king anyway.

641
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: A lot of it depends on who's matched up, what

642
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: matchups are on. If there is a game where you

643
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: talk about two blue blood college football teams versus some

644
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: teams that are not as popular in the NFL, well

645
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: then more guys are gonna watch the college game. But

646
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: if the college football game doesn't have the same level

647
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: intrigue as a marquee NFL matchup, more people gonna watch

648
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: the NFL game regardless.

649
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: I think both of them will pull high numbers.

650
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you right there, but you're telling me now,

651
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: and maybe you're correct. I don't know. I've never heard

652
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: of a study on this. I thought a football fan

653
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: is a football fan, But I think you see, there

654
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: are several college fans who don't appreciate or like the NFL.

655
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you're right. I mean, if you live in a

656
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: college town, if you live like in Iowa or Oklahoma, Kansas,

657
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: maybe you're more prone to being a college fan than

658
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: being a pro fan because there's no pro team near you.

659
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know.

660
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean it depends on Like I grew up in

661
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: North Carolina at the time where they didn't have a

662
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: pro team, And you're right, you kind of go to

663
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: your college stuff is bigger to you because that's what

664
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: you gravitate towards. That's what you talk about data, that's

665
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: what's talked about on sports talk radio and on the

666
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: local news. A lot of it depends on where you're at,

667
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: and really it depends on the level of teams that

668
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: are involved in those games.

669
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Now. Until this year, the college football

670
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: semi finals and the championship games, they fell on days

671
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: without NFL games, But with this expansion of twelve teams,

672
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I love the expansion and the

673
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: addition of a quarterfinals in first rounder made it impossible

674
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: maybe not to overlap with the NFL, which is on

675
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: a mission maybe to overtake as many game broadcast as

676
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: again and look, you know it looks bad for the NFL,

677
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: but what could they do? But the NFL is spreading

678
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: its wings and why not? As you mentioned, it's the

679
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: most popular sport right now in the US of A.

680
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: And it's expanding its wings to London, Mexico, South America,

681
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And if I were asked a question,

682
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: the most popular sports right now in our country NFL,

683
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: college football, and after that maybe college basketball or the NBA.

684
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what we talk about here. Is that correct?

685
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: You think that's the pecking order of popularity of sports here?

686
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think it's football in some particular order.

687
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: Then it goes to basketball. I would say, like whatever, NFL,

688
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: then college football, Basketball would probably be NBA before college basketball,

689
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: and then the rest of the sports, well can the

690
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: fall after that?

691
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: And there's no coincidence there that those are the sports.

692
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: Probably that I most bet on as well, because it's

693
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: the easiest sports to bet on. I don't understand how

694
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: people could even consider betting on baseball. I wouldn't even

695
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: know how you would bet on baseball giving a guy

696
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: a run, who run and a half? I don't know

697
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: how that works, or betting on hockey. Betting on hockey, football, hockey, baseball,

698
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: or soccer, to me is insane. So the most popular

699
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: sports coincide probably the most sports that I bet on.

700
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: I mean, probably so, but I look, I mean it

701
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: may be six on one hand, half a dozen on

702
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: the other when it comes to that kind of stuff.

703
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, like I mean, you're betting, interest or gabbling.

704
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: Interest certainly plays a part in what is being wise.

705
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: No, you're right about that, But I do know this much.

706
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: I'll probably end up watching every one of those games

707
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: that day, College and the NFL, and I think if

708
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: you were a fan, I think you probably would do

709
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: it as well. So I'm praying right now for that day,

710
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: which is Week sixteen in the NFL, to have a

711
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: tremendous snowstorm so I don't go anywhere, just buried in

712
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: my house and what just stayed in front of the

713
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: tube and watched TV all day long, right, And I

714
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: know people that I don't know if you do this

715
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: as well, that I have two or three or four

716
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: maybe TV's going on at one time. I can't do that,

717
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: you know. I can't multitask. And really I'm lucky that

718
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: I could like talk to you and do something else

719
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: at the same time. I can't multitask. I'm too stupid

720
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: to do that. I can't. Yeah, do you watch more

721
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: than one game of one time?

722
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: I can flip back and forth, but I just have

723
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 3: to be I had to be locked in. I'm with you.

724
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: I like something as it has to be your priority.

725
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: But I can watch multiple sports if I have a

726
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: casual interest in the sports, but if my team is playing,

727
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: I'm typically not gonna bounce around.

728
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: Home in the same way. All Right, He's Bucky brooks

729
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: Andy Furman. We are Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports. Ready,

730
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: got a question? Just ask the man? Why? Of course?

731
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: Ask Bucky?

732
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 8: Is next? You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

733
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: Oh, I asked Bucky, coming right up. But it's about

734
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: twelve minutes, not before the top of the hour. This

735
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. Here's Bucky

736
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: Brooks and Andy Firman. We're live from the tire rack

737
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: dot Com studios, and away we go. All right, I've

738
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: been watching sports for a long time and I watched

739
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: these games. I just dawned on me the other day,

740
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: so I asked Bucky this question. How much of a

741
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: difference does a home crowd make for a team in

742
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: any sport. I'm watching that game against Boston and Dallas

743
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: the other night. The Boston fans are going crazy. Does

744
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: it make a difference for an athlete? For that home

745
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: court advantage.

746
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: Make a difference.

747
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: It makes a difference, not only in terms of what

748
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: happens on game day, in terms of the fans, the noise,

749
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 2: all the things that go on your way.

750
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 3: It's the routine.

751
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: It's being able to have a familiarity with the environment,

752
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: and as long as you're familiar, you can get comfortable.

753
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: Being comfortable allows you to play at your best.

754
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: So, yeah, it doesn't matter. Home court is a huge deal.

755
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: Okay, And there are some athletes I would think that

756
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: thrive on playing on the visiting court because they know

757
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: they're the enemy, that are villain, so they're going to

758
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: play even harder. Maybe it works detrimental to the home

759
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: team because the visiting team will come out there even

760
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: more fired up because they know they're the enemy.

761
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: I mean, like sometimes yeah, I mean there are certain

762
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: teams and certain people that respond better to being the villain.

763
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: You have to have it in you. Everybody's not built

764
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: for that. Though.

765
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: Everybody's not built to wear the black at A lot

766
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: of it depends on the person.

767
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: It's competitive make.

768
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: Up, all right. Next, why don't college coaches necessarily have

769
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: success at the next level. I'm looking Urban Maya for

770
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: an example.

771
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 2: It's a different game. You're dealing with different people. In college,

772
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: you are the dictator. Everything kind of starts and ends

773
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: with you as a coach and the pros. It's more

774
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: of a cooperation, a partnership. Do you have the ability

775
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 2: to communicate well enough with the players so that they

776
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: buy into your vision? Ultimately that's what determines whether you

777
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: win or lose at the highest level. Can you create

778
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: the same kind of cooperation that you need to at

779
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: the collegiate level without having the same power?

780
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: Interesting? Okay, why is Caitlin Clark having such a slow

781
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: start in a WNBA.

782
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean, people told you everyone was mad at Diana

783
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 2: Tarassi when she said the WNBA one is more skilled

784
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: and has more talented. People gave it credit for it's

785
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: more physical than anyone anticipated, and that's certainly bothering her.

786
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 3: And then as great as she is as a scorer,

787
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: there are some limitations to her game right now. She'll

788
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: eventually figure it out.

789
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: Right now, you have all of those things in play,

790
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 2: which is why she has been an up and down

791
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: player throughout the first part of the NBA season.

792
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: Could it be part of a physical problem, because she

793
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: really looks like like she waste. Weighs eighty five pounds,

794
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: soaking wet, she's a little beefun her.

795
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, that certainly could be a part of it.

796
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: She needs to beat bulk up. But she just has

797
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: to adapt and adjusts. And it's hard for rookies at

798
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 2: any sport to go from playing college to pros. And

799
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: she's had spurs, she's had moments, she's flashed like all

800
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: the Rickies flash.

801
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: But in time, she'll get better. She'll adjust.

802
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a rough situation.

803
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 9: Now.

804
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make excuses for it. But like

805
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: in the NBA, they don't have the draft at the

806
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: end of June, and they don't play again until October.

807
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: They got a camp in September and work it out

808
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: in college. I mean, she finished a grueling college season

809
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, gets drafted in about four or five weeks

810
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: after that. She's playing on a grueling schedule in the WNBA.

811
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: That's tough. Really, they don't have the training camp, I

812
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: don't think as long as as the NBA and the WNBA.

813
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough, but everyone has to endure that.

814
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: That's why it's tough for Ricky to come in. But

815
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: that's what everyone was saying. The casuals didn't want to

816
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: listen to what they were saying. They said it would

817
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: take her a while to adapt, and a lot of

818
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: people thought it was oh, the veterans, the NBA veterans

819
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 2: are hating on her. No, they're saying that because they

820
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: went through similar transitions.

821
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 3: And that's what they were saying. So you need to

822
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 3: just tip your expectation from Kaitlin Clark because it's gonna

823
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: be hard for her to kind of dominate to the

824
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: level that she dominated in the collegiate.

825
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: All Right, this might be the last one for it,

826
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: but it's interesting because everybody watches sports on TV. It's

827
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: about TV announcers, okay, and in all sports they're very

828
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: well paid. We know about that. Do the television executives

829
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: honestly think that people tunt the games for certain announceers?

830
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but they're going to do that

831
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: at first for Tom Brady. But other than that, you

832
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: watch a game for the competitiveness of the two teams

833
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: that are playing, not for who's calling the game.

834
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 3: I don't think I mean, I think so.

835
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,479
Speaker 2: I think I watched the game for the game, and

836
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: you know, whoever's broadcasting, it's kind of like a side piece.

837
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 2: But yeah, there are things that you can learn from

838
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: broadcasters and the people that are around the game of

839
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 2: teaching air, but not necessarily something that's gonna drive the ratings.

840
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 1: Okay, Why the PV executives pay these guys so much money?

841
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: It's it's unreal, I mean, ten million dollars to call

842
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: a game, and really and truly they add nothing to

843
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: the game at times, and people are gonna watch it

844
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: if they're not doing it. If someone else is doing.

845
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: It, well, there's something that happens star power on those

846
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: on those telecasts, and when you think about Tom Brady,

847
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: and I mean to a lesser Stantoni Romo who got

848
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: paid big bucks from CBS. Things are about the quarterback.

849
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 2: But Tom Brady I can understand. Because Tom Brady's a

850
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: seven time champion. You would like to see him convey

851
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 2: some of that knowledge, experience, and expertise to the viewer.

852
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, All right, that'll do it fast, Bucket. Right now,

853
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: we got two more hours to go, so we're gonna

854
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: tell you every team in the NFL has improved. Really,

855
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: we got that and so much more. Where next on

856
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: Fox Sports son Day here.

00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: and coached, the one and only Bucky Brooks. Buck Here

867
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: we go our two of the three hour extravagans. And

868
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: we do every single Sunday. How you doing, I mean,

869
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm good.

870
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: We're not quite the halftime, but we're getting close to it,

871
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 2: so we'll make sure we finished the first half of

872
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: the show.

873
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: Strong.

874
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I certainly will.

875
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 3: You know.

876
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: I'd say this every single Sunday, and I hope it

877
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: resonates in people's minds because what you do on Friday

878
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com when you scroll down writers as

879
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: his Bucky Brooks, you're doing yourself a disservice. You don't

880
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: go over there to read it.

881
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: You really do.

882
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: And I say that not so much because I love

883
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: him and he's my partner. But it's interesting reading. It

884
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: really is. And this week you touched on the AFC

885
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: South which now I guess you could call it the

886
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: Quarterback Conference. It's unbelievable and I had not thought about

887
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: that until you, until I read it, and no one

888
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: else had touched on it anywhere in the media except you,

889
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: and you talk about the quarterback Strong the young Studs,

890
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: So to speak to CJ. Strouds that Trevor Lawrence is

891
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson and Will Levice coming up, which makes that

892
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: division right now, which once was laughable. The AFC South

893
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: is somewhat competitive. I mean, you know what gave you

894
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: the foresight to even write about that because I haven't

895
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: seen anything like this and any and any platforms and

896
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: this is great. It really is. Just get into it

897
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: a little bit.

898
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, like you know, the main the main thing

899
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: when it comes to THEFC South is a conference, a

900
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: division that is going to be governed by young quarterback play.

901
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 3: You look at all the quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence, CJ.

902
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: Stroud, will Love's, Anthony Ridgson, all decorated quarterbacks, all young

903
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: quarterbacks with tremendous talent, and now comes down to which

904
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: guy is going to play the best because the best

905
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: quarterback is probably gonna lead their team on a division

906
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 2: title run and quest For me, what is interesting is

907
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: c J. Strou was NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

908
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: He's kind of been celebrated and moved into the top

909
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: five category the year before. Trevor Lawrence was a guy

910
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: that people were singing praises when it came to easy

911
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 2: a top five quarterback, Can he lead to jacksonth Jaguars

912
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl run and those things? And then

913
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 2: with Anthony Richardson, just thinking about the hype that is

914
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: surrounding his name and the fact that you only play

915
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: four games but they still expect him to be a

916
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: guy that jumps into the conversation as one of the

917
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: elites is surprising to me. And then will Levis, the

918
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 2: ownership and the general manager Ran Carthin going all in

919
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: on will Levis, trying to surround him with as many

920
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 2: veteran playmakers as possible. Yeah, this division is a good

921
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: one to watch because the quarterback play should be really good.

922
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. And let's talk about the Houston Texas for a

923
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: little bit, because right now I think there's a lot

924
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: of pressure on them to kind of do what they

925
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: did last year, maybe take it to another level. Rus

926
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: last year they took everybody so surprise, and you even

927
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: mentioned that no one thought they'd do anything last year

928
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: with rookie CJ. Stroud, who's the offensive player of the year.

929
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: But can they come back and do it again? Will

930
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: they do it again? Would they be the premier team

931
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: or are they the favorites in that and that division?

932
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what would make them the possibility? I love

933
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: the of the coach, the demgo Ryans. I mean, if

934
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: I had a choice to play for coaches the National

935
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: Football he'd be one of them, and also the Detroit

936
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: Lions staff. I mean, I think those two guys are

937
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: the guys that will bring the best out of any player.

938
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm mistaken. I just from an outsider who never

939
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: played the game looking at what's happening in the NFL.

940
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: Those are the two guys I think I must would

941
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: love to play for.

942
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

943
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think you certainly would love to

944
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 2: play for those guys. I think it's about understanding who

945
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: you are, is about having some of that pro experience,

946
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 2: is about being able to put gas in a position

947
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: where they can succeed, and we've seen that happen. There

948
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: are a lot of factors that go into the right environment,

949
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: the right culture, but coaching certainly is a big part

950
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: of it.

951
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: All Right, let's talk about the Texans for a second.

952
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: What would make them strong or stronger than a year ago?

953
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, I mean there were some problems with him above.

954
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: A great player, for sure, but I think there was problem.

955
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: Look when you talk about problems, let's delve into that

956
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: a little bit. You played the game, you know what's

957
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: going on, you know what goes on in locker rooms whatever.

958
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: In my mind, there's two things that are probably chromatic

959
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: in sports. Number One, contracts money, that's a problem that

960
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: could surface and really be a thorn in someone's side,

961
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: and the guy wants to leave, a player wants to leave.

962
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: If that's number one or number two maybe relationships with

963
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: somebody when I talk about that, maybe female relationships. I'm

964
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: just saying. Maybe I'm wrong, but those are the two

965
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 1: things that would cause problems within an internal situation within

966
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: an organization. And maybe that's one of the reasons Whytephon

967
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: Diggs is no longer there, and now he's singing the

968
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: praises of being in Houston and being out of Buffalo.

969
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll see a different Stephan Diggs right now.

970
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but without knowing the situation, I don't know anything

971
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: about like lady problems when it comes to the locker room.

972
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: I'll say this, Stephan Diggs is a super competitive person.

973
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: He's been a dominant player wherever he's been Minnesota, first

974
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: in Buffalo.

975
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 3: And now going to Houston. He did a look.

976
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: He played a huge role in Josh Allen kind of

977
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: finding his way as a quarterback when he came over.

978
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: It's not a coincidence that Josh Allen had his best

979
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: years with Stefan Diggs intel I mean a four straight

980
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: one thousand euro seasons, the amount of plays that he

981
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 2: made for.

982
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills while he was there.

983
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: They go miss that going to the Texans. Diggs doesn't

984
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: have to necessarily be the number one receiver because you

985
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 2: have Nico Collins, JFT tank Dale who established himself as

986
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: a really solid number two, number three. But what he

987
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: can be is kind of like the veteran playmaker that

988
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 2: is there when you need it, when everything goes around. C. J.

989
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: Stroud can find Stepan Diggs because he's reliable, he's dependable,

990
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 2: and he's still a quality playmaker. This was a good

991
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 2: gift for the Texans. You also throw in the other

992
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 2: vets that they have in Joe Mixon Daniel Hunter. This

993
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 2: is a team that's looking to go from good to great,

994
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: and part of that can be done if those veterans

995
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: bring that playoff experience in wisdom and really teach their

996
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: young guys how to get to the next level.

997
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: Okay, let's stick with this Stephan Dick situation for a second.

998
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Buffalo Bills just for a second.

999
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to get out of the division too much.

1000
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: But without Stefan Diggs, I would have to say that

1001
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, at least on paper, are worse, and they're

1002
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: worse at receiver. Okay, they may not be worse totally,

1003
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: but I think they're worse at receiver. It's going to

1004
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: hurt their quarterback and play. And I think removing him

1005
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: is going to be somewhat of a new culture, so

1006
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: to speak, and I hate that term, but a new

1007
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: culture in the Buffalo Bills organization. I think it's going

1008
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: to be a whole new facelift, if you will, for

1009
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And again I'll say it receiver. They're

1010
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: worse on paper than they were a year ago without him.

1011
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's certainly worse.

1012
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: But if you are the Buffalo Bills, you're hoping that

1013
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: Pat Mahome, that Josh Allen is Pat Mahomes, that he

1014
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 2: has the ability to elevate the players around him, given

1015
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 2: where he is in his development and the money that's

1016
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: going his way. He has to do that because when

1017
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,959
Speaker 2: you pay Josh Allen the money that the Buffalo Bills

1018
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: are paying him, his job is to elevate the offense,

1019
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: regardless of whether he has legitimate playmakers or not. The

1020
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: expectation is that this offense is not going to skip

1021
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 2: a beat because Josh Allen advances his game and in Houston,

1022
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs helps Nico Collins, enttained Dell learn how to

1023
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: be number one receivers in their respective environment based on

1024
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: what he says to him and film, how they watch

1025
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: him work on the practice field, and how he performs

1026
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 2: on game day.

1027
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: And this Texas team is somewhat balanced right now. You

1028
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: talk about worse on paper, I would have to say,

1029
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: you say the Cincinnati Bengals may be worse on paper

1030
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: at the running game. They lose Joe Mixon and Houston

1031
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: picks up Joe Mixon, which I think this guy still

1032
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: got some tread on the tires.

1033
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Mason still can play.

1034
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: You may see a different version of Joe Mixon utilized

1035
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: in Houston, though maybe they lean more into his receiving

1036
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 2: as opposed to his rushing. Yes, he still can play

1037
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 2: a big role as the workhorse back. But the best

1038
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: version of Joe Mixon is the one that gives you

1039
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of both. He gives you the running,

1040
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: the power running between the tackles. He gives you the

1041
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: playmaking on a perimeter as a receiver. If he shows

1042
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: up still capable of doing those things, that's when the

1043
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: Texans offense becomes really scared.

1044
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so are you picking the Texans to win that division?

1045
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: AFC South?

1046
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 3: I think you have to be based on how they finished.

1047
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 3: This is a team that's good.

1048
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 2: The quarterback is outstanding, and normally what happens when it

1049
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 2: comes down to a teams that are evenly matched, you

1050
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: have to go with the quarterback. And right now, based

1051
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: on last year, c J. Stroud played at a higher

1052
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 2: level than Trevor Lawrence and that's the difference. That's why

1053
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 2: he gets to.

1054
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: Not Yeah, he's got to get healthy. I mean, let's

1055
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: talk about you a favorite team, the Jacksonville Jaguars right now.

1056
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: And sometimes you need great eight receivers or good, good

1057
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: to great receivers to make the quarterback that much better.

1058
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes the quarterback makes the receivers. Sometimes it's the other

1059
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: way around. And they've got two signings right now, free

1060
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: agent signs Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Junior was a

1061
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: first round pick, so it's going to help them as

1062
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: far as wideouts are concerned and they may very well

1063
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: help Trevor Lawrence go to another level, which could make

1064
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: Jacksonville more of a competitor this year.

1065
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not even necessarily about them elevating Trevor.

1066
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 2: It's about completing the wide receiver room. Most coaches will

1067
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 2: tell you that the wide receiver room should look a

1068
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: bit like a basketball team, meaning that you have multiple

1069
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 2: guys in the unit that can do different things. Their

1070
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: interchangeable skills and their complementary skills really enhances the passing game.

1071
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior and Gabe Davis add a vertical element

1072
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: to the passing game that's been lacking the last.

1073
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 3: Couple of years.

1074
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 2: Without the vertical element, they've been forced to play half

1075
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 2: court basketball, meaning they only could work the five ten

1076
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: fifteen yard box. Now, with the explosive plays on the outside,

1077
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior gave Davis not only loosened the coverage

1078
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 2: that's on Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram, but they'll create

1079
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 2: more running room.

1080
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 3: For Travis tcy In.

1081
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: Overall, If these two guys can just play the way

1082
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 2: that they've played before their arrival the Jacksonville, this offense

1083
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: is going to be a much improved offense. But it's

1084
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 2: not only that, it is the defense and how the

1085
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 2: defense can improve. I expect this to be a battle

1086
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: between the Texans and the Jaguars that goes down to

1087
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: the season finale.

1088
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the loss now. Calvin Ridley,

1089
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: he comes out, he's not there this year. He led

1090
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: the team last year in receiving yards, over a thousand,

1091
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns, yet eight he's gone. That's a big loss.

1092
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: I think on the offensive line was shaky at best,

1093
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: shaky list those are two things that got to help.

1094
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: You know, with Ridley gone and with Thomas and Gabe Davis,

1095
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: that may make up for that. But we'll see what happens.

1096
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is that big of a loss in

1097
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: your mind? Calvin Ridley is.

1098
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: A big of a loss on paper, Yes, because Calvin

1099
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 2: Ridley is a former Pro Bowl player.

1100
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 3: He had one thousand yards, had eight touchdowns.

1101
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 2: But sometimes, man, a good player can go to a

1102
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: good team and the chemistry and the connectivity is just off,

1103
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: not in terms of personality, but just in terms of

1104
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 2: playing style. And Calvin Ridley did not necessarily maximize his

1105
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: potential in Jacksonville. Not his fault might have been more

1106
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: of a coaching thing, but for whatever reason, he didn't

1107
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: play at a level.

1108
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 3: Where he dominated.

1109
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: Well, you move him out and you come to the

1110
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: realization that maybe this team is better when they work

1111
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 2: inside out and they revolve around Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram.

1112
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: Everyone plays more of a balanced role, kind of shared

1113
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 2: a distribution of the touches on targets on the outside

1114
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: and allow the team to be.

1115
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 3: The reason for the success as opposed to the individuals.

1116
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's move along out to the Indianapolis Colts,

1117
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: because right now, in my mind, the Indianapolis Colts could

1118
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: be this year's Houston Texans. What do they mean by that?

1119
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: That could come out of nowhere? Basically, And there's surprised

1120
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: a lot of peace people because they have a quarterback

1121
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: who missed basically eighty percent of the season last year,

1122
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. So is that a normal thing for me

1123
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: to say that they can win the division? Surprise a

1124
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: lot of people because they don't know what to expect

1125
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson and he's got some playmakers around him,

1126
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr.

1127
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: He does have some playmakers around him, but he's the

1128
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 2: unknown commodity, and he was the unknown commodity coming out

1129
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 2: of college. He has always kind of been given I

1130
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 2: don't say a pass, but people have always bet on

1131
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: the upside and the potential. He hasn't realized that potential.

1132
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: He only played four games last year before getting hurt.

1133
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 2: Being hurt and injured as a part of his resume

1134
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 2: his history because it happened like that when he was

1135
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 2: in high school, it happened like that when he.

1136
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 3: Was in college. He has tremendous tools and talent.

1137
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 2: But now we got to see if that potential can

1138
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: turn into performance and production. If it does, then in

1139
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 2: Nova Scot Gold be in that conversation. But if it

1140
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: goes through the struggles, then you may have to see

1141
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco come off the bench, come out the bullpen,

1142
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: and see if he can say the Colts much like

1143
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: Gardn Minshew did a season ago.

1144
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Flacco is going to be close to forty

1145
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: years old, right and the season ends will be forty.

1146
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he was tremendous last year coming off the bench.

1147
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean, can he do it again? I'm sure Indianapolis

1148
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: is hoping they never see him play this year. They

1149
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: don't want Joe Flacco to play.

1150
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: Correct, No, they don't want him to play, but there'd

1151
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 2: be two reasons why he could play. Inexperience injuries and ineffectiveness.

1152
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson's inexperienced injuries to Anthony Rigidson or the young

1153
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: quarterback being ineffective could lead Joe Flacco to come off

1154
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 2: the bench. Rainy NFL Comeback Player of the Year has

1155
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 2: success with the Browns, but he's forty. He's going to

1156
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 2: be forty, and that's a lot to put on an

1157
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 2: older quarterback to come through to play at a high

1158
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 2: level and do those things.

1159
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: Okay, they lose Zach Moss as a running backup, they

1160
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: still have Jonathan Taylor. How big of a loss is

1161
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: Zach Moos? And tell me a little bit more about him,

1162
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 1: because I'm excited because now he's a Cincinnati Bengal.

1163
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: A really good player, productive player, was really good coming

1164
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 2: out of college in Utah Field in admirably for Jonathan

1165
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 2: Taylor when he had to step in almost at eight

1166
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 2: hundred yards, he gave them a physical presence without him.

1167
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 2: Now they need Jonathan Taylor to be available more often

1168
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: they need Taylor to play at a high level so

1169
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 2: he can alleviate some of the pressure on Anthony Bridges

1170
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 2: and to carry this offense if he's available. Jonathan Taylor's available,

1171
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 2: this offense is tough because you make sure, you have

1172
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: to make sure from a defensive standpoint to stop him,

1173
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: and that opens up the field for everybody else.

1174
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've gone through Houston, Jacksonville, and Indianapolis. Would

1175
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: you say that could be the order of the way

1176
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 1: the team's finished thus far in that AFC south Houston

1177
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: winning it, followed by Jacksonville, maybe the Colts.

1178
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the order that I have, That's the

1179
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 3: way that I predicted, and then some Titans are the

1180
00:55:59,360 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 3: next same.

1181
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're looking at the basement dwellers right now,

1182
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. You don't think they're going to win the division? Okay,

1183
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: any reason why they have Calvin Ridley right now wide receiver?

1184
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: But Will Levis is he the guy? Is he the

1185
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: quarterback right there? Is he that good?

1186
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what they're banking on. They're banking on

1187
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 2: that he's that good. And so that's what.

1188
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 3: Every move that they made was designed to help the

1189
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 3: young quarterback flourish.

1190
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 2: They go and get Calvin Ridley to be code number

1191
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: one with DeAndre Hopkins. They bring over Tony pol to

1192
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 2: give them a scat back in the backfield. After moving

1193
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 2: on from Derrick Henry. They're moving from a I would say,

1194
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 2: a run heavy, run dominant offense to one that is

1195
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: a little more quarterback driven. That says that you know,

1196
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: Brian Callahan, ran Carthon believe in will Levis's talent. They

1197
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 2: will give him every opportunity to succeed at a high level.

1198
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 3: We'll see, because this.

1199
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 2: Is a team that really hits their wagon to the

1200
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: young quarterback, and we'll see if the young quarterback was

1201
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 2: worth it.

1202
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of confidence in Brian callaen

1203
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: and he coach here in Cincinnati, and I think that

1204
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: he could get the job done. But here's the problem.

1205
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of questions over there. Will

1206
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: loves number one, and you mentioned it here in your story.

1207
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 1: He completed only fifty eight percent of his passes. He

1208
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: only had one three hundred yard game. But again, that

1209
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: team was basically run heavy. Now, all of a sudden,

1210
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: without Derek Henry, they're gonna be more of a passing

1211
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: game and we'll see what happens. But Ken will love

1212
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: us get it done. He's got Calvin really a wide receiver.

1213
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be really interesting to see. I just

1214
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: don't think they have enough firepower to win that division.

1215
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a very, very tough matchup for them,

1216
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: you know. Like in terms of the division, they got

1217
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: great pieces, They have veteran players that can play at

1218
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 2: a high level, but a lot of it will determined

1219
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: on the play of the quarterback. If will Levis makes

1220
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 2: a major jump from year one to year two, they

1221
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: can be in the conversation because DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley,

1222
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 2: they're problematic in terms of how do you deal with them.

1223
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: The running game with Tony pol Tony Pollitt has shown

1224
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: that he can make some things. He and Spears are

1225
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: going to give them a very explosive, dynamic running attack.

1226
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: But it's gonna come down to what does will Levis

1227
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 2: do with the ball in his hands?

1228
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: Can he take care of it? Can he find a

1229
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 3: way the leader down the field? Can they put points up?

1230
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: If he struggles with turnovers, they have no chance because

1231
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 2: this division is very, very competitive.

1232
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: And last but not least when you have a new

1233
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: head coach, isn't there like a grace period, like a

1234
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: honeymoon period. So I don't think management or ownership is

1235
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: expecting that much. Sure they want to win, but they'll

1236
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: understand that he's got to change the so called culture

1237
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: and the direction of that team. And it's a brand

1238
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: new team right now. As you mentioned, they're going from

1239
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: that run heavy offense to something else a little bit.

1240
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 2: But I would say the best thing that Brian Callahan

1241
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 2: has been able to do is to bring his dad,

1242
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 2: Bill Callahan over, one of the best offensive line coaches

1243
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 2: in football, maybe the best when it comes to his

1244
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 2: ability to develop offensive lines, his ability to help offensive

1245
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: lines play at a high level.

1246
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 3: That's what Bill Callahan does.

1247
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: So as much as I may talk about this team

1248
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 2: morphing into a pass every team keeping on the running game,

1249
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna find a way to run the ball because

1250
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: everywhere he's been Bill Callahan's been terrific in terms of

1251
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 2: helping his teams run at an efficient pace and run

1252
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 2: like one of the best teams in the league.

1253
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm writing this down now, so it's the AFC

1254

Speaker 1: South Houston, Jacksonville Indianapolis, Tennessee. That's gonna be it right there,

Speaker 1: That'll be at nine o'clock Eastern time. But let's talk

1276
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: about some controversial situations right now, and that controversial foul

1277
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: on Caitlin Clark the Indiana Foever's Caitlin Clark by Chicago

1278
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: sky Guard, Chicago Skyguard, Nnity Carter and Shennity Carter refused

1279
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: to answer any questions about that after the game was over. Now,

1280
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Carter got a lot of backlash for a foul. I'm

1281
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: not gonna say a good, bitter and different, but that

1282
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: was the name of the game. She got a lot

1283
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 1: of heat on social media, but one person was more

1284
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: upset about her not able to address it with the media,

1285
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: and that person was none other than Golden State Warriors

1286
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: for with Draymond Green, and he was an an episode

1287
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: of his podcast just the end of day. He said, quote,

1288
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: I love what you did. I don't love how you

1289
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: went to the press conference and wouldn't answer the question

1290
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: about it. Quite frankly, if you want to understand how

1291
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: this thing goes, I'll give you a little advices from

1292
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Draymond Green to Tnnity Carter. You want to take on

1293
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: the villain's role, great, love it. You've got to be

1294
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: that enforceder on your team. Great, love it, but you

1295
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: can't dodge the questions. When you go to the press conference,

1296
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: you answer the questions. You did what you did, stand

1297
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: on it.

1298
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 8: I love that.

1299
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: Now I wasn't happy with what she did, but you

1300
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: know what, you gotta you gotta own it. I love that.

1301
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I love that Draymond Green, you got to own what

1302
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: you do. He does, She's got to do it too.

1303
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, she has to own it.

1304
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 2: But I think people have to understand, like some of

1305
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 2: what may have transpired and how these things it just

1306
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: didn't come out of like the air that you know,

1307
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 2: the incident took place. Some would say that maybe she

1308
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: suffered and took in inevert and elbow that kind of

1309
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 2: fired her up. And so you look to have a

1310
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 2: little vigilanti justice whenever you have an opportunity on the court.

1311
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what took place. I think this is what

1312
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 3: has to happen.

1313
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm more disappointed in Kaitlyn Clark's teammates for not standing

1314
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: up for greed because in team sports, in hockey, we

1315
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 2: talked about the goons. The goons come in to make

1316
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: sure that the stars are always protected. Someone if she's

1317
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 2: the franchise, and we talked about her being the franchise.

1318
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: Someone needed to stand up and protect her, and they

1319
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: haven't done that to this point.

1320
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,919
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because I think that many people

1321
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: have never heard of Trinity Card until that incident, and

1322
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: then when you did little research on Trinity Card, then

1323
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they started pounding on the girl. Okay.

1324
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: In a rookie season she played for the Atlanta Dream,

1325
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: she became the youngest player in the WNBA history. Just

1326
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: scored thirty points at twenty one years of age in

1327
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty twenty sixty six days. She had

1328
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: thirty five points against Seattle on August to sixth. Okay,

1329
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: But then it happened there were some problems, okay, and

1330
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: everybody's all, oh, okay, she's a troublemaker. July twenty twenty one,

1331
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Dream, she was suspended indefinitely for quote,

1332
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: conduct detrimental to the team. Big deal, big freaking deal. Okay,

1333
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: And there was reported before the suspension she indicated that

1334
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,479
Speaker 1: she wanted to fight another Dream player who would asked

1335
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: her to improve her attitude touring a game. I get it.

1336
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: It happens, okay, But now all of a sudden it

1337
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: comes to the forefront. You know, they take away what

1338
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: kind of a player she was. And she was a

1339
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: pretty good player, all right, and she's still a pretty

1340
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: good player. But now they're talking about everything her rap sheet.

1341
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing, Okay. In twenty twenty two, she

1342
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: was with the Sparks. She played twenty four games. She

1343
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: started two of those games. She averaged by eight point

1344
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: nine points a game. In March twenty twenty three, they

1345
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: waived her. She was obligated to pay her protected eighty

1346
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: six thousand salary. I mean, she's had a whole bunch

1347
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: of stuff going over there. She didn't play the WNBA

1348
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. But the point is this to put

1349
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: this out there that she's not a good that's bad.

1350
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: That's a bad thing. But I do like what Draymond

1351
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Green says. You want to play like that, you gotta say, hey,

1352
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, go to the press conference, say yeah, I

1353
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: got an elbow. She pushed me. She said, so whatever

1354
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: it was, stand up own it.

1355
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 9: And I like that.

1356
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: That's fine.

1357
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, I mean, like you just got

1358
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 3: to put it out there. I think you have to

1359
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 3: own it, and you can't worry about whether you're the

1360
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 3: good guy back.

1361
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 2: You just got to live in your truth and if

1362
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 2: you believe in the things that you're saying, then you

1363
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 2: should have no problem standing in it. And will continue

1364
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 2: to see this as this story continues to escalate and

1365
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 2: all eyes are on these stories revolving involving Caitlin Clark,

1366
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 2: We'll see how others respond to it. I think the

1367
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 2: big thing that stood out to me is everyone was

1368
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 2: so dismissive and so disrespective of her, and then they

1369
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 2: did a little research. Yeah, you found the character things,

1370
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 2: but you also saw the great individual performances that she

1371
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 2: put up while she was.

1372
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: On the court, no doubt about. You know, at the

1373
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,919
Speaker 1: end of the twenty twenty season, Shennity Cattter was into

1374
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty WNBA L Rookie team. This girl as

1375
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a player, I mean she really is, and people say, oh, yeah,

1376
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: I need these are remarks I heard. No one turns

1377
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: on the TV to see Kennity Carter. You know, no

1378
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: one heard of her.

1379
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 3: People.

1380
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: You know what, if you're a follower of the WNBA,

1381
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: you did hear of her, You really did. And the

1382
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: problem being that people are coming out of the woodwork.

1383
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: They're not WNBA fans. They're Caitlyn Carter, the Cayton Clark fans.

1384
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: That's what they are. And that's okay. You know, she's

1385
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: brought a different audience. She's like the Taylor Swift of

1386
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: the WNBA. I get it. But if you want to

1387
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: be smart about it, and you want to do some research,

1388
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: you realize that there are other players in that league

1389
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: that have had a better track record and have a

1390
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: better resume at this point in time than Caitlin Clark has.

1391
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: And the story.

1392
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 3: That is the end of story.

1393
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Too often we try to make it about one person,

1394
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 2: and we've tried to make it about her being the one.

1395
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 2: She's the one that's going to carry them. She's the

1396
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 2: one that's going to make it happen all by herself,

1397
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 2: and that's not what it's going to be. It's going

1398
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 2: to be very, very hard for her. It's going to

1399
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 2: be very challenging for her. But if she does make

1400
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 2: it to the end, will celebrate her because of the

1401
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 2: lesson she had to endure on the journey.

1402
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 3: This is a part of the process. She'll get better.

1403
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 2: But man, I just love how everybody is beginning to

1404
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 2: pay attention to the WNBA.

1405
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great, and I'm even watching it right now.

1406
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I finally found out where I on TV is. The

1407
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: other night they had a doubleheader on there, and I'm

1408
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: watching the women's basketball. And it's funny because I think

1409
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: there was like a I think there was a Cincinnati

1410
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Reds game on TV at the same time, which normally

1411
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: I probably would not stay for the entire game, but

1412
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: at least watch part of it. And I didn't, you know,

1413
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: because I like action. I mean certainly, you know, baseball

1414
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: is a lot slower than basketball, and I love basketball,

1415
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: and I turned it on. I really did. I would

1416
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: hope that one day maybe Cincinnati could have a WNBA team.

1417
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it's supported. I don't if

1418
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: people would go to it, but you know I would go.

1419
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: I really would. And it's She's changed me. As I

1420
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: told you way back when I drove out to Bloomington, Indiana,

1421
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: from where I live to see her play when Iowa

1422
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: play it Indiana this year. You know again, I don't

1423
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: drive to see Northern Kentucky, which is near my house,

1424
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: or University of Cincinnati or Xavier University. Women's basketball but

1425
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: I drove to blooming toon the CEE Caitlin Clark. So

1426
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: she has that interest, that magnetic interest for people who

1427
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: don't follow the sport. You just want to see who

1428
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: she is. And it's worked. It's working right now. The

1429
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Arenas Friday night they were playing Washington. They sold out

1430
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: over twenty thousand people. Two teams that have a combined

1431
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: record of like six wins, and they sold out the

1432
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: joint for twenty thousand people plus to see her. The

1433
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Washington mystics. I'm watching that game on TV. It's crazy,

1434
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: but it's good. It's great for the sport.

1435
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 3: It's great for the sport.

1436
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 2: Give her flowers because she has really been a huge

1437
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 2: driving force behind the numbers that have absolutely blown up

1438
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 2: to them NBA this season.

1439
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 3: She came with a fan base.

1440
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 2: She was a well established star at the collegiate level.

1441
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 2: She did great things at Iowa and that allowed her

1442
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 2: to kind of hit the ground running when she came

1443
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 2: to the NBA. In terms of the fandom, everyone loves her,

1444
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 2: supports her. She's done a great job of growing the game.

1445

Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, Thank you so much. Seeing about

1484
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: an hour now, all right, it's all about embracing history.

1485
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just about a minute. We

1486
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: got by a Berrel Betting coming up about five, six,

1487
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: seven minutes from now. But we got Steven regular guy.

1488
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: I guess he's a regular right now. He's cool twice,

1489
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: so it's a regular Steve in the Kansas City wants

1490
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: to know the Bucky Brooks right here on Fox Sports Sunday.

1491
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 9: All right, another edition of Hurricane Kitlin. You know, listen,

1492
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 9: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I guess I

1493
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 9: agree with Raymond Green. I mean, uh, this would go

1494
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 9: for Angel Rees too. The reason people are being so

1495
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 9: harsh in somebody's opinions is that, you know, Angel will

1496
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 9: say something about you know, oh, it's just not a

1497
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 9: one person team, and then she then she takes it

1498
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 9: back or deletes it and then backs off, and it

1499
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 9: actually helps the product if she would explain, explain her

1500
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 9: opinion and not have to not have to say, oh,

1501
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 9: I don't really want to talk about that. You know,

1502
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 9: I don't think that's I don't think it's a bad

1503
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 9: I don't think it's a bad thing at all to

1504
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 9: talk about this stuff. It's just that I think the

1505
01:10:55,720 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 9: w NBA is it was completely unprepared and maybe us

1506
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 9: say basketball uh to to expand on that, point, they're

1507
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 9: they're totally unprepared for for what for the kind of

1508
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 9: media attention that that that they're getting. I guess I was.

1509
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 9: I was hearing that USA Basketball was worried that that

1510
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 9: Caitlin was not going to be able to play during

1511
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 9: the Olympics. So that's why they took her off. That's

1512
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 9: why they took her off the Olympics because they were

1513
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 9: worried about They couldn't explain why she wouldn't get a

1514
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 9: lot of playing time during the Olympics. So if you

1515
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 9: come with that, if you come and just say, just

1516
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 9: just come out with it, don't be embarrassed about it. Hey,

1517
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 9: she's she's a rookie, you know, it's if she may

1518
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 9: be an alternate or whatever, then then people wouldn't wouldn't

1519
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 9: criticize you. But if you try and hide it, and

1520
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 9: you try and and you try and not not say

1521
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 9: anything about it, then people people will start writing columns

1522
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 9: and start criticizing you. I mean, it's it's pretty it's

1523
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 9: pretty simple stuff. But they've been operating in this world

1524
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 9: of kind of you know there, the w n b

1525
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 9: A is a nice little world. They're subsidized and they

1526
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 9: have no risk and and and Caitlin has just sort

1527
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 9: of turned their world upside down. And I don't think

1528
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 9: that's a bad thing. But I'm interested to hear your

1529
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 9: opinion about why why she is not at least an

1530
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 9: alternate on the on the Olympic team. Seem like you

1531
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 9: that would be a no brainer.

1532
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 1: There you go, Bucky, You'll have the answer for you

1533
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: right now, Steven, Thank you for the call. Well, Bucket,

1534
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: can you answer that question for Steven? But more than that,

1535
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: do you see what all this pushback right now with

1536
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 1: so much social media and media in general, you know,

1537
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: saying that why isn't Caitlin on this team? Can you

1538
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: see them bucking the trend and maybe putting her on

1539
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: the team.

1540
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 2: I can't can necessarily see her putting her on the team,

1541
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 2: but I do believe that the conversation is good and

1542
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people that I believe any

1543
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 2: conversation regarding this topic is great conversation when it comes

1544
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 2: to exposure.

1545
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 3: So the exposure is there for the women's game.

1546
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 2: I just look, man, I just think it's hard and

1547
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 2: I think people have to have a great appreciation for

1548
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 2: the talent that is any WNBA in the talent.

1549
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 3: That is on Team USA and all those other things.

1550
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 3: It is just a very difficult team to make.

1551
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 2: She can be a great player, but she's just not

1552
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 2: seasoned yet, and I think all those things are certainly

1553
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 2: coming into play.

1554
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Here's my thought process, And tell me if I'm really

1555
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: a kook on this one. Britney Griner had had a

1556
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: broken toe and she really hasn't played much of it all.

1557
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe Britney Grinder will come up and say,

1558
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not physically able. I'm going to

1559
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: give my spot up to Caitlin Club. Do you think

1560
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: something like that could happen?

1561
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 3: Repeat what you're saying.

1562
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Britney Griner has not played much, if at all. She

1563
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: had a broken toe, and maybe she would come out

1564
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: and make an announcement saying, I'm not physically able to play,

1565
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to give up my spot for Caitlin Clark.

1566
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 3: Maybe. I mean, health can be an issue.

1567
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 2: A lot of it depends on when we talked about

1568
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 2: Kaitlin Clark not making the team. Did she get arsinate

1569
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 2: status where she's one of the first ones to call

1570
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 2: if somebody goes out. Well, that's just like making a team,

1571
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 2: because you are going to wanting to see injuries, but

1572
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting. Brittany Grinner hasn't played in a while.

1573
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 2: You're talking about nursing that too injury. But what she

1574
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 2: does give you its size, superior size to do with

1575
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 2: some of the other international players and some of the

1576
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 2: big women that dominated in the post. So you want

1577
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 2: to be reluctant before you move on from her, because

1578
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 2: swapping out a big for a guard is normally not

1579
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:35,480
Speaker 2: the recipe to be successful.

1580
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, We're gonna roll along right

1581
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: now because we have that game that I'm so dominant then,

1582
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:42,759
Speaker 1: and I don't want to embarrass you anymore in bona

1583
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: barrel betting, I really don't. I hate doing that, dear.

1584
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: I love you like a brother, but every Sunday when

1585
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: I beat you to death, I'm bonton barrel betting. It

1586
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: hurts me. It ruins my day. But we gotta do

1587
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: what you gotta do, right. I mean, I'm sorry, I

1588
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: apologize publicly to you.

01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 3: I do all right, Okay, I appreciate the apologies. Thank you.

01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Okay, he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Frehman. Of course. Wow,

1591
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: it's like having a cold beer in the desert. It

1592
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: really is. We call it bottom barrel betting and you

1593
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: know what and freaking next all right, boughto barrel betting

1598
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Let's play it for me.

Speaker 8: It's bottom bottom mill. You thought you was late, wanted

01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 10: I'll put your brain to sleep betting.

1602
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,640
Speaker 1: All right, here's the iyeman to take care of it

1603
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: and give Bucky the bad news, will you? Because I uh,

1604
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 1: I hate doing this to him, I really do.

1605
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 10: Andy, Do you honestly think it's going to be bad

1606
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 10: news for Bucky?

1607
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: I mean it's not.

1608
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 10: No, it's not it. Bucky got another one this week.

1609
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 10: It was three to one Bucky as one of the five.

1610
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 10: The match was actually canceled, so there were only four

1611
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 10: this week and Bucky two one. Three of them. I

1612

01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 10: One too, yeah, no, Bucky one, Bucky one. Oh, okay, anyway,

1615
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 10: is a good, good slate we got. So we'll start

1616
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 10: with kickboxing in the uh the Risen Fighting Federation over

Speaker 10: five fifty two versus Mamoru at plus three point fifty.

1619
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 10: We will start with Bucky.

1620
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 3: Like one of my favorite, one of my favorite kickboxes.

1621
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 3: I just love the way you bring the brown.

1622
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: You notice you know this? Come on, man, you've heard of.

1623

Speaker 3: That, Andy, Andy? This is what we do.

1624
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 2: We we we study all these bottom's bottom line betting

1625
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 2: like this one.

1626
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,520
Speaker 1: Are you getting this information before before the contesting?

1627
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,879
Speaker 10: At least he's preparing. This is why he's so dominant

1628
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 10: in this game.

1629
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, man. Bruce Lee was my favorite.

1630
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 3: I used to watching all those Bruce Lee movies when

1631
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 3: I was young.

1632
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 1: You're killing me. You're killing me, Smalls, you're killing me. Okay, Maminu,

1633
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: I got Maminu, Mamoru memorial, Maminu, gotcha?

1634
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 3: Gotcha?

1635
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 10: All right? Next up, we got women's netball. It's kind

1636
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 10: of similar to basketball. I guess there's a basket in

1637
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 10: the front. Yeah, anyway, netball.

1638
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 1: If you heard of netball? Yeah, I mean goodbye?

1639
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 10: Who hasn't heard of netball. Yeah, this is happening over

1640
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 10: in New Zealand. The league is called Premiership. Actually, I

1641
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 10: love these team names here. It's the Waikato Bay of

1642
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 10: Plenty Magic going up against Mainland Tactics.

1643
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Magic because I need some

1644
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: magic to get back on the winning course. Yah, I

1645
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: got magic.

1646
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 10: The team name is Plenty of Magic. Okay, I need

1647
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 10: that of plenty magic.

1648
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,520
Speaker 3: I need plenty of all right, Well, main Mainland Tactics.

1649
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 10: And Bucky Tactics is actually spelled T a C T.

1650
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 1: Information helping him out to it.

1651
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 3: I liked it. I like that a little spin on.

1652
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 10: It, all right, next up, so actually this is kind

1653
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 10: of fun. The European Athletics Chainchampionships are happening right now

1654
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 10: in Rome. It's kind of like a precursor to the Olympics.

1655
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 10: I don't know how it works, if like the winners

1656
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 10: of these automatically get bids to the Olympics, but either way,

1657
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 10: that's happening right now. So we'll start with the happy

1658
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 10: on TV.

1659
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: Can I watch it on TV?

1660
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 10: I would assume it's televised somewhere. It's happening over in Europe. Though,

1661
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 10: so it's bigger over there for sure, but either way,

1662
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 10: half marathon first, So this is out of these two guys,

1663
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 10: who do you think finishes with the better time? We

1664
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 10: have Pietro Reva, the Italian at minus one thirty three

1665
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 10: versus Samuel Baratta the Portuguese at minus one oh six.

1666
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 11: Bucky Ooh, that's a tough one, man. I could go

1667
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 11: back and forth on this one, but I'm gonna go

1668
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 11: with the first guy, Pietro Petro Reva. Yeah, yeah, Pietr Yeah,

1669
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 11: I'm going I'm.

1670
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: Gonna say this. I've never done this before. I've never

1671
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: agreed with him, but I'm doing Reva and I'll tell

1672
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: you why. Wow, it's home, it's in Rome, and they'll

1673
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: probably cheat. So he's gotta win, all right, big guys.

1674
01:18:58,320 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: If he doesn't win or he's good at better time,

1675
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm you know, they'll probably.

1676
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 10: Think they're gonna bump him a little bit. Album it's

1677
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 10: a home. I gotta go a reason interesting theory with it, Okay, Okay,

1678
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 10: you gotta do it. Next up, we have the women's

1679
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 10: hammer throw matchups. So who has the better score here

1680
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 10: between Sarah Fantini the Italian versus Celia the Spanish.

1681
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: And this is the same games in Rome, the same

1682
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: same And if it's all over, got a good pizza Fantini?

1686
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 10: higher between Thomas Karmoy the Belgian versus Jonas Wagner the German?

1687
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 3: I mean.

1688
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 10: Jonas Wagner, not Jonas Knox, although he would probably score

1689
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 10: well here you think so? And this is the same

1690
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 10: games in Rome, yes, same games?

1691
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,360

Speaker 2: Wagner Wagner? I just want to make sure I had Vagner?

1697
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 2: What's a question before? So Wagner I got?

1698
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 1: Didn't do like operas and stuff? I mean, listen, no,

Speaker 10: from Belgium.

1702
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: How far is Belgium from Rome?

1703
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:29,599

Speaker 10: Pretty, I'm gonna get this number for you.

1705
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:34,639

1706
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 3: before he comes on.

1707
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: You just get the questions before I'll go with krmai Kara.

01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 1: going to bring it home. Are on the home stretch,

1732
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: just like they did the Belmont Stakes yesterday, which I

1733
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: had the wrong selection. But that's another story for another day.

1734
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm listening to Martin Wise do the sports,

1735
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: and he said US soccer lost to Colombia yesterday, won nothing.

1736
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: You know what kind of a schmunk I am? I

1737
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: thought they lost to Columbia University. That's that's how stupid

1738
01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: I am. Really, it's Colombia, the count. I thought columb

1739
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 1: When I had Columbia, I think the Columbia Blue, the

1740
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: Lions of Columbia. I love Columbia, went to graduate school

1741
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: at Columbia. I love Columbia University. So I thought they

1742
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: lost to Columbia University. Wow, I never knew this soccer

1743
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: team was that good. No, it's the country idiot. That's

1744
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: me stupid. All right, anyway, we move on. I mean,

1745
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy you're dealing with. But that's

1746
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 1: that's the pardoner that you have. Not that smart, really,

1747
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this much, I hate to

1748
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: be the idea man for sports executives. These guys get

1749
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money. These guys get paid to

1750
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: make decisions and they should do certain things that are

1751
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: the right things to do, and they need a guy

1752
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: like me to kind of get them on the right road.

1753
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? I'm going to say

1754
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: right now, the NBA could honestly learn something pretty good

1755
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: for what Major League Baseball just did the other day. Okay,

1756
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, as we all know, they added Negro

1757
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: league statistics to the Major league record books, and that

1758
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: was the right thing to do. It was the right

1759
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: thing to do. Of course, the negro leagues ran at

1760
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: the same time as Major League Baseball for about twenty

1761
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: eight years before finally integration reached the major leagues. Okay,

1762
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: and now what they do is they enrich Major League

1763
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Baseball and the history of the sport by including these stats.

1764
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,560
Speaker 1: It's meaningful, it's important they should do that.

1765
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 3: So what do I do.

1766
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: I go back now and say, wait a minute, maybe

1767
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 1: the NBA should do the same thing with the ABA stats.

1768
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: And if you're too young to realize that, if you

1769
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: don't remember, if you don't know what it is. The

1770
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: ABA was the American Basketball Association from nineteen sixty seven

1771
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: to nineteen seventy six. It was a pretty darn good

1772
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: pro basketball league and some you know, you may have

1773
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: read about, you may have seen some film clips on TV.

1774
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: Some of the greatest players went to the ABA instead

1775
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: of the NBA before those two teams merged. The two

1776
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: leagues merged back in nineteen seventy six. Would the ABA

1777
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: bring us? Brought us the slam dunk Contest? The abay

1778
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 1: Bird is a three point shot? And they also the

1779
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,879
Speaker 1: a BA brought us the Indiana Pacers, the Denver Nuggets,

1780
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs, and the New York Nets now

1781
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. So I think maybe they should incorporate

1782
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: the stats. Is that too far flong? Is that kind

1783
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: of stupid? What do you think?

1784
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 3: Hmmm?

1785
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 9: Uh?

1786
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 2: I think I think it's a little different, guys, But

1787
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 2: there are so many ABA teams. I don't think it's

1788
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,759
Speaker 2: necessarily a bad idea because so many of the ABA

1789
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 2: teams folded.

1790
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 3: Into the NBA. I think it's different. I really hadn't

1791
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 3: thought about it.

1792
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 2: I think they include all those stats when they do

1793
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 2: the NBA the Basketball Hall of Fame, because not the

1794
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 2: NBA Hall of Fame.

1795
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they do the best and it'll be

1796
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,560
Speaker 1: a situation like yeah with Caitlin Clark when I was

1797
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: arguing the fact that you know they didn't have the

1798
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: three point goal. This is the old time leading scorer,

1799
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: and Pete Maravich didn't have the three point goal at

1800
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: LSU when he was playing. And look, they had the

1801
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: three point goal the A B A and they're gonna

1802
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 1: out to all those points coming into the NBA. But

1803
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think that it's it's kind of the

1804
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: you have to include those guys, guys like Roger Brown,

1805
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: Connie Hawkins, Danissel, all those great players that played. I

1806
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: remember those guys. I mean, Fatty Taylor, all those great guys,

1807
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: all those great plays. Spencer Heyward, the guy was great.

1808
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 1: I watched Spencer Hayward play for the US Olympic team

1809
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: in an exhibition in Madison Square Garden against the New

1810
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: York Knicks, and they beat the New York Nick. Spencer

1811
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Hayward was unbelievable. He was tremendous. And now those names

1812
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: are forgotten. But I think they need to incorporate those names.

1813
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean you certainly want those guys

1814
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:38,799
Speaker 2: not to be forgotten. You want them to be remembered

1815
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 2: and those things. That's an interesting thing. They're andy maybe.

1816
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, This is coming from a guy

1817
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: that can't beat you in Bonn and Barrel Benny, but

1818
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,600
Speaker 1: still not dead. All right, all right, there we go.

1819
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: And I hate to come back to this, but you know,

1820
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: it's like on the top of my mind. I think

1821
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: it's the top of everybody's mom me to talk about sports,

1822
01:25:58,360 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: and it's off the field right now. It's this Case

1823
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: Clark thing. I mean, look the w I'm just just

1824
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: for a minute because I want to move on from it.

1825
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: I really do, because I'm tired of it, to be

1826
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 1: honest with you, I mean, I don't know how the

1827
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: country cannot be tied of. I mean, I'm hearing commentators

1828
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: like Bob Costa's chiming in your news reporters. Everybody's involved.

1829
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable how many people are involved with

1830
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: this Caitlin Clark thing. Aren't you shocked a little bit

1831
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: by it? Really?

1832
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 2: No, I'm not shocked by only because like there's been

1833
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 2: kind of like the topic of the conversation has dominated

1834
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 2: conversation around women's sports and women's basketball for the last

1835
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,680
Speaker 2: two years. Ever since Iowa kind of burned not it.

1836
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 2: I can't even say burst on the same but from

1837
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 2: the time we went the final four and they lost

1838
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 2: to LSU against Angel Reese. Caitlin Clark became a look

1839
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 2: a megastar during that run to the final four, and

1840
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 2: it continued through this and with her crushing scoring records

1841
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,799
Speaker 2: and becoming an all time great in that sport.

1842
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 3: You knew there was a lot of intrigued about her.

1843
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 2: People have talked about the racial dynamics and all that

1844
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 2: other stuff that is also at play. She's a huge

1845
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 2: story because she was so good and a lot of

1846
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 2: times we see this, but the thing that we're not

1847
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of times we see some of our

1848
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 2: favorite college stars go to the NBA or go to

1849
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 2: the professional ranks, and they may not necessarily be the

1850
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 2: same for Caitlyn Clark. Not saying she's the same, but

1851
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 2: it reminds me a lot of the Tim Tebow situation,

1852
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 2: where I feel like Tim Tebow's career was derilled, not

1853
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 2: necessarily because of his play and his talent, but because

1854
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 2: of the fandom and the zealots.

1855
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 3: Around him made it where you couldn't even bring him.

1856
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 2: Around because it created such a distraction and so many

1857
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 2: discussions that it took away from the team.

1858
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had nothing to do with football, you know,

1859
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 1: the zealous, the people who didn't like the fact that

1860
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,640
Speaker 1: he was like a religious zealot if you will, I mean,

1861
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, and that should not bother anybody, but it did.

1862
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people, you know, the same thing,

1863
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 1: similar maybe to the Harrison Bucker situation, the kicker on

1864
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. You know, no one's talking about

1865
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: his football prowess. They're talking about a speech that he made.

1866
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: And if he wasn't a football player, that speech, what

1867
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 1: he made, no one even care what he said. But

1868
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 1: the fact that he has a public stage being a

1869
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 1: football player. They attacked the guy. Hey, he went to

1870
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: a Roman Catholic school, just make a speech. They invited

1871
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: him there. You don't have to agree with what he

1872
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,560
Speaker 1: had to say. He said it, move on, and I

1873
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: love the fact that he doubled down when they asked

1874
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: him about it after the fact. And people were throwing

1875
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: the F bomb at this guy on social media. It's unbelievable, really,

1876
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and there are some people that agree with him,

1877
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 1: do right.

1878
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,559
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, certainly that, but it's not the first

1879
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 2: time that we've seen those kinds of things, Like when

1880
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 2: when players or athletes make political statements or statements that

1881
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 2: are deemed to be political, they get the barun of criticism,

1882
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 2: which you know, like I'm okay with Like everything that

1883
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 2: you do has a level of consequence that comes with it,

1884
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 2: and you have to understand that when you step to

1885
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 2: the mic.

1886
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 3: Colin Kaepernick had.

1887
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 2: To understand the consequences that came with him taking a

1888
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 2: standard kneeling and speaking out about certain things. Harrison Brickner too.

1889
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 2: Everyone should have the freedom to express themselves and then

1890
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 2: you have the right to either agree or disagree with that.

1891
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 2: But we should be able to have these disagreements and

1892
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 2: having a healthy discourse as opposed to the cancer that

1893
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 2: cancel culture existence that we're currently in.

1894
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: No, what about years ago when Lebron James said a

1895
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: couple of things, I mean he still has of obviously

1896
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: there was that TV talker said, she said, just dribble.

1897
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of a statement is that he

1898
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:44,679
Speaker 1: has no right to have an opinion? And I listed

1899
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: with Lebron says and every other athlete, Yeah, could agree, disagree,

1900
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: or just ignore it. I mean that those are the

1901
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: choices you have. I mean, why does it bother people

1902
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: so much? I don't get it. I really don't.

1903
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, I think with our country, we

1904
01:29:58,360 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 2: do like to spend a lot of time worrying about

1905
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 2: other people and instead of taking care of our own,

1906
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 2: whether that's political, whether it's sports or whatever. Like that

1907
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 2: is kind of the state of our country right now.

1908
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 2: And when we have that, everyone believes that their opinion

1909
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 2: matters more they should weigh in, and that everyone has

1910
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 2: a look a counter to whatever you say. There's always

1911
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 2: a rebuttal and that's just kind of the way it is,

1912
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:22,679
Speaker 2: and that's the kind of the way it will continue

1913
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,639
Speaker 2: to be. It's just unfortunate because the clouds some good

1914
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 2: things that can be done. One of the thing about

1915
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 2: Harrison there was almost a tragic incident in Kansas City,

1916
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 2: but Harrison Buckler was one of the guys that went

1917
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 2: to the training room to try and get play.

1918
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, a teammate help at that point.

1919
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Those things are massed in that we haven't heard a

1920
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 2: lot about that, but I thought it was telling that

1921
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 2: the trainer came out and talked about like Harrison comes in,

1922
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 2: does this, tells us this? And it goes on like

1923
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 2: that's the thing, Like it's possible for someone to be

1924
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 2: an athlete and more.

1925
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 3: We just have to allow them the room to do that.

1926
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 3: And when we do that, like a lot of times,

1927
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 3: great things can't happen.

1928
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: You make a great point because when Harrison Buckner said that,

1929
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 1: made that speech, and the pushback was really ugly and terrible.

1930
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: You had Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reider's coach and a

1931
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 1: teammate stand up and say and even Mahomes said, I

1932
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:15,559
Speaker 1: don't agree to everything he said, but he has every

1933
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 1: right to say it. I don't hear or see anybody

1934
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: from the Indiana Fever, from the general manager down to

1935
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:26,240
Speaker 1: the coach, to any to a teammate to say something

1936
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: about to defend Caitlin Clark. Now, look, I understand being

1937
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:36,599
Speaker 1: a wide popular basketball player, she's brought some needed TV attention,

1938
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: she's brought some revenue to a sport. Tanta sixteen year

1939
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: old girls love her as if she was Taylor Swift,

1940
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 1: all right, But I don't see any of her teammates,

1941
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: management coaches saying it's crazy nothing. I mean, they stick

1942
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 1: their head in the sind Dad is tough. And then

1943
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 1: the other day I'm hearing Chris Cuomo of all people

1944
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: on News Nation talking about Caitlin Clark I almost hit

1945
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 1: my head against the wall, Like, Wow, this is big.

1946
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 1: You get Chris Cuomo talking about it, everybody's talking about it.

1947
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 1: It's amazing, it really is.

1948
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 2: It's big because it's out of convenience and so like

1949
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 2: that's the thing, Like you have to look at people's

1950
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,560
Speaker 2: intention when they decide to weigh in on that. And

1951
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 2: I feel bad for Kaitlin Clark because she has been

1952
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 2: kind of put in the middle of something that she

1953
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 2: didn't ask to be put in.

1954
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 3: You know, she's a hooper, she's just great things in

1955
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:25,839
Speaker 3: the community.

1956
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 2: She gets along with her teammates and all this other stuff,

1957
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 2: but she has now been used as a political pawn

1958
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 2: to further different agendas, and unfortunately, some of those agendas

1959
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 2: have racial components to them.

1960
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,639
Speaker 3: Regardless of whether she asked for it or not, she's

1961
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 3: involved in it.

1962
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 2: And when you see it on these shows you talked

1963
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 2: about Chris Cuomo and some of the other people that

1964
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:48,640
Speaker 2: have kind of picked it up and used her to

1965
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 2: kind of talk about certain things. Look, it's problematic because

1966
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 2: there's always been the intertwining of sports and politics and

1967
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 2: those things. But for the people who like to say, hey,

1968
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:03,600
Speaker 2: when I tune into a game, I just like to

1969
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:06,639
Speaker 2: watch my sports. It's impossible to do that because people

1970
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 2: continue to tie those things together, politics and sports, which

1971
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,600
Speaker 2: to change so many conversations, right about Kaitlin Clark.

1972
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: And change with the social media, because there'll be an

1973
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: athlete that may tweet something and then all of a sudden,

1974
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 1: someone says, what what did he say? You know, I'm

1975
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 1: not gonna pay to watch him play? Why don't just

1976
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: keep his mouth shut and play the game? And that's crazy,

1977
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:29,640
Speaker 1: it's really look I to say a former ESPN stafford

1978
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: Now she writes for the Athletic Jamel Hill. I like

1979
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 1: Jamel Hill. I think she got a row deal to ESPN. Okay,

1980
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:36,679
Speaker 1: and she said something the other day, she said, quote,

1981
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,799
Speaker 1: while so many people are happy for Kaitlin's success, including

1982
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:42,600
Speaker 1: the players, this has had such an enormous impact on

1983
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, there is a part of it that

1984
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 1: is a little problematic because of what it says about

1985
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: the worth and the marketability of the players who are

1986
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 1: already there. And I'm going to come back and say, really,

1987
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 1: the players are happy for Caitlyn Clark. I don't get

1988
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 1: it because of the blindside attack she suffered from Carter

1989
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 1: Chanity harder and because her teammates are not helping her.

1990
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:04,639
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see that the happy

1991
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: far oh no.

1992
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 2: I think that's different. But I also think, like, okay,

1993
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 2: so here's the thing, and we talked about this last week.

1994
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 2: I think what happens is when you have casuals of people.

1995
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 3: On the outside jump in.

1996
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 2: I think they expect NBWNBA players fellow WNBA players to

1997
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,600
Speaker 2: shower her with the rose pedals, to lift her up

1998
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 2: at every point in the middle of a competitive thing.

1999
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,639
Speaker 2: That is not what's going to happen. In competitive sports,

2000
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 2: there are people who live to make their name off

2001
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 2: of the quote unquote superstars. Caitlin Clark has a lot

2002
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:40,800
Speaker 2: of attention. Well, these other girls were also highly sought after,

2003
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 2: highly talented, very talented girls who were look BMOC on

2004
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 2: their own campuses, right, and so this is an opportunity.

2005
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 2: When they see her, they bring it to her because

2006
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 2: they also want the acclaim and notoriety. This isn't anything

2007
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 2: that's personal to them not liking her. This is about

2008
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 2: copetitive people to alphus competing in one arena. There is

2009
01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 2: something to that, and so I think sometimes people miss

2010
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 2: that part of competitive sports and they try and make

2011
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 2: it a political statement that, oh, these girls shown her

2012
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 2: they don't like her because she's getting that that.

2013
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 3: No, it's not that. It's a competitive environment.

2014
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 2: They want to go toe to toe because the best

2015
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 2: love playing against the best, because they live for that competition.

2016
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, and I agree, okay, but

2017
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:30,040
Speaker 1: I will say this much. When Caitlin Clark got that

2018
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:34,879
Speaker 1: shove from Chnity Carter, there was a big, happy, joyous

2019
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: leap from her seat. And I'm talking about Angel Reichs

2020
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 1: on the other team. She was clopping. She was happy.

2021
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 1: So I don't see the evidence of players being happy

2022
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 1: for her. Maybe there is a resentment fact I don't know.

2023
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 1: And the reason what what's the reason?

2024
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 2: How long were but how long are they supposed to

2025
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 2: be happy for her? Like it's a career, it's.

2026
01:35:58,240 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 3: A competitive thing.

2027
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 2: Like the're not gonna kiss her feet every time she

2028
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 2: walks into the arena, like the media talks about her

2029
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:08,839
Speaker 2: at nauseum. At some point they don't have to continue

2030
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 2: to say, hey, Caitlin Clark is great. Every day is

2031
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 2: not a celebration of Kaitlyn Clark in a league where

2032
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 2: they're keeping score and so look Ultimately it comes against us,

2033
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 2: against the world mentality. And so when Angel reason the

2034
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 2: Chicago sky Players are playing against the Indiana Fever, yeah,

2035
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,760
Speaker 2: it's personal. They knock her down, they do that. Those

2036
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 2: are things that have always been done. Michael Jordan had

2037
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 2: to face the Jordan rules against the Detroit Pistons. The

2038
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,519
Speaker 2: first thing that any player, any team does when someone

2039
01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 2: is talented, Let's ratchet up the physicality and see if

2040
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 2: they can deal with bully ball. And if she can

2041
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 2: deal with it, she won't face it again. But she

2042
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 2: hasn't been able to deal with it. Will That's why

2043
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 2: she keeps getting it.

2044
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not blind to that because I remember the bullies,

2045
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: the Detroit Piston bad boys. Yeah, I'm not blind to that.

2046
01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: I've seen that, and they did that. They show people around.

2047
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 1: And Michael Jordan was banged up pretty good against those

2048
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,719
Speaker 1: Piston teams. He really was, and they brought some help

2049
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,800
Speaker 1: from over there. So I think it was magnified. Also

2050
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: when Angel Reese stood up because Angel Reees was sort

2051
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: of like her nemesis in college. Okay, it was rival

2052
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: good and bad whatever it may be, but it just

2053
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 1: didn't look good. And why in fact would they be

2054
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: resenting for Caitlin Clark for the national TV coverage she's

2055
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 1: helped them get, for the maximized exposure she's helped them get.

2056
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: Maybe she's got some credit also for the charter flights,

2057
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,639
Speaker 1: not all of it, but part of the deal. Maybe

2058
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 1: because the charter flights and more than that, when I

2059
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:35,639
Speaker 1: hear that the arenas were sold out and Angel Reese says,

2060
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: what about me? I helped sell about too. Yeah, I

2061
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: believe she has to some extent. But I think that

2062
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 1: we're not putting percentages about how much someone has helped

2063
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 1: the league. It's a combined effort. Caitlin Clark's part of it,

2064
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,880
Speaker 1: and so were you, Angel, You really are. But it

2065
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't be that way. Stop being so freaking selfish. Really,

2066
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 1: it's a combined that it's the league.

2067
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 2: See but see even in you talking about her being selfish. Right,

2068
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 2: So we talk about her being selfish, but we want

2069
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 2: to continue to talk on and on and on about

2070
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark. We want to give Kaitlyn Clark all the

2071
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 2: credit for all of the exposure and those things. She

2072
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:15,679
Speaker 2: certainly deserves a lot of credit for bringing a fan

2073
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 2: base to the WNBA that didn't exist before that, but

2074
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 2: at some point everyone wants Kayln Clark to get like

2075
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 2: a fair shake, to not get I guess the retaliation

2076
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 2: or the physical tactics that she's facing. But we create

2077
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 2: that because all we do is we talk about how

2078
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 2: they should bow down and how did should be so gracious,

2079
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 2: and how they need to do this and do this

2080
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,160
Speaker 2: and that to Kaitlin Clark. After a while, any competitor

2081
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 2: gets tired of hearing that. So if we want them

2082
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 2: to ease up off her talking about Kaitlyn Clark.

2083
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: You know what, you make an excellent point, and only

2084
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: that point could come from an athlete like yourself that

2085
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 1: would know that played the game, Because if I was playing,

2086
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't like her. Was this, this, this, and this?

2087
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 1: Who would make me sick? It really would. So I

2088
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, and it makes a lot of sense.

2089
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: But you know what, as long as Kaitlyn Clark's in uniform,

2090
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 1: and as long as certain things happen like not making

2091
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 1: the Olympic team, that gives a lot of fodder and

2092
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: material for people like me and people who are behind microphones,

2093
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:20,720
Speaker 1: are behind laptops to write about it and talk about it.

2094
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: That's what it is, that is what it is.

2095
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 2: But when you start making decisions because of the fans,

2096
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 2: you soon become a fan. The fans aren't privy to

2097
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:31,400
Speaker 2: those If we're talking about the people that just came over,

2098
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 2: they don't know those other ladies on the Team USA team.

2099
01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 3: They don't know how Caitlyn Clark stacks up to them.

2100
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 3: They don't know if she's.

2101
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 2: Good because right now, the fandom, the casuals, think that

2102
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark is the best thing to ever play. She's

2103
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:46,760
Speaker 2: the best thing since slice bread when it comes to

2104
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,800
Speaker 2: women's basketball, and that's not true. And so it's very

2105
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 2: disrespectful when people are talking those terms about Caitlyn Clark

2106
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 2: without acknowledging there may be people that are better than her.

2107
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,879
Speaker 2: There may be people that are more experienced or more decorated,

2108
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 2: more accomplished than her. But yet we're supposed to give

2109
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:06,879
Speaker 2: her a spot on the team without her quote unquote

2110
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,840
Speaker 2: earning it. That goes against everything that we talk about

2111
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 2: in other walks of life. We always talk about, oh,

2112
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 2: you gotta want it. We don't want to give out handouts,

2113
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 2: we want to do this, But yet we want to

2114
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 2: give Caitlin Clark a handout to be on this team.

2115
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't sit right with me, It doesn't sit right

2116
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 3: with a bunch of people.

2117
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. He's Bucky Brooks. He is right. Can

2118
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 1: can knock that from him? He's one hundred percent correct.

2119
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:29,719
Speaker 1: Get him on Twitter, get him on X that Bucket

2120
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: Brooks at any from an FSR or eight seven seven

Speaker 1: seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. We got

2123
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:42,200
Speaker 1: the blame game coming up at the end of this hour,

2124
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:46,760
Speaker 1: so don't go anywhere. But now we know why Mac

2125
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 1: Jones failed as an NFL quarterback. That's coming up next,

2126
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: and we're live from the tiraq dot Com studios. Turn

Speaker 3: There we go.

2129
01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:03,240
Speaker 1: I may even sing a little bit if you let me.

2130
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but all right, it was the goat's fault.

2131
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 1: The other goat that's coming right up, Hey is Bucket Brooks.

01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: don't want to hear anymore. Here we go, Hey, we

2136
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,439
Speaker 1: got a phone caller from the great state of Iowa,

2137
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 1: the home of Kaitlin Clark. Bred from Iowa wants to

2138
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 1: talk to Bucky Brooks. Brent, what part of Iowa are

2139
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: you from.

2140
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 12: I'm from the des Moin area, So that's right right

2141
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:36,040
Speaker 12: in Caitlin Clarks area. De Win's box, one hundred fifty

2142
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:36,839
Speaker 12: thousand people.

2143
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:37,720
Speaker 3: There you go.

2144
01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: What do you got on your mind?

2145
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,880
Speaker 12: Well, I agree with it. I love this conversation. Obviously,

2146
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 12: this is in such a great conversation the last couple

2147
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 12: of weeks. I know it's getting annoying for some people,

2148
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 12: but it's bringing out just a lot of great and

2149
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 12: great points. But I want to say, hey, there's a

2150
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 12: couple of girls on that on that watch are fantastic players,

2151
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:57,519
Speaker 12: but they're hurt. Britney Grinder has been hurt. Chelsea Gray

2152
01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 12: has been hurt. She has been played this year. I

2153
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:02,240
Speaker 12: don't think there's a number of really great players in

2154
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 12: the league. Why didn't the girl from the Wings make it?

2155
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 12: I think she's from a Notre Dame. I can't remember

2156
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 12: her name exactly. He's a great player. Why isn't Angel

2157
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 12: reached something this team? Why isn't Cameron Ranks is a

2158
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 12: really good player. There's not a kid next, and it's

2159
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 12: also been having a great year as a rookie. There's

2160
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 12: a lot of great players. There's the Center, there's the

2161
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 12: Center from the New York Liberty I think is a

2162
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 12: fantastic player. Why is it she on this year? I mean,

2163
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 12: it's a lot of politics there. I think I totally get,

2164
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 12: you know, players that have done great things in the past,

2165
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,640
Speaker 12: but a couple of kids aren't even playing right now?

2166
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 3: Are the girls?

2167
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 1: Well, Gabe, I think we addressed this early on. I mean,

2168
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,400
Speaker 1: this team will win the gold in the Olympics with

2169
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:46,719
Speaker 1: it without Caitlin Clark and and you know, Candice Parker

2170
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:49,320
Speaker 1: didn't make the Olympic team a first shot out either.

2171
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of great players that will not

2172
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 1: make that team. That's just the way it is. And

2173
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:54,920
Speaker 1: Caitlin calls one.

2174
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 3: Of them, well, I'll see this.

2175
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 2: He makes really really good points, right, Like, the players

2176
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 2: that are hurt shouldn't make the team if they're not

2177
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 2: going to be available to play in the look in

2178
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:12,600
Speaker 2: the Olympics. But I'll say this. Cheryl Reeve the basketball

2179
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 2: coach for a team USA. She's a former head coach.

2180
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, she's a head coach of Minnesota Link, she's

2181
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 2: a general manager. She's done this for a while. She's

2182
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 2: been the assistant coach for a while while they won

2183
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 2: gold medals. At the end of the day, when you're

2184
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 2: a coach, you tend to take the players that you

2185
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,960
Speaker 2: know the most right because there's a thing that most

2186
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:35,560
Speaker 2: coaches rely on, commitment, accountability, and trust. Who are the

2187
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 2: ones that are committed, who can be held accountable, and

2188
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 2: who do you have the most trust with a lot

2189
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 2: of the reason why you see these older experienced players

2190
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:46,439
Speaker 2: is because they've been through wars together literally not figured

2191
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 2: early where they've they've been the battle, they've gone through it,

2192
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:52,839
Speaker 2: they understand the adversity.

2193
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 3: They kind of have the team.

2194
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:57,080
Speaker 2: When you get to the point where you have these

2195
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 2: other spots that may come open, it's probably going to

2196
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 2: come from someone in the pipeline. It doesn't mean that

2197
01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:05,679
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark or any of the ladies that he mentioned

2198
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:08,840
Speaker 2: won't be added to it. It's just the initial list,

2199
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 2: the preliminary list. They're left off of it. But we've

2200
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 2: seen each and every year, each and every time they've

2201
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 2: had a national team, you have alternates that are elevated.

2202
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 2: I am sure that some of the ladies that he

2203
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 2: mentioned may be elevated to the team once we get

2204
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 2: closer to the if closer to the event, and.

2205
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 1: There could be injuries with those players that have been

2206
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: put on the team too. That's a possibility.

2207
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's something to that, and so we're

2208
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 2: just kind of see how it plays out. But they

2209
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 2: put this out there early so that the fan base

2210
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 2: could get used to the thought of her not being

2211
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:44,679
Speaker 2: on the team and then they can move forward.

2212
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman.

01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:29,439
Speaker 1: you for all you do for us. Now let's get

2251
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 1: back to this thing with the goats, all right, And

2252
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable story when you think about it, but

2253
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 1: you know what, it makes sense in a way because

2254
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,920
Speaker 1: Mac Jones did not succeed as a quarterback with the

2255
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, and former Patriots running back Damien Harris

2256
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: puts the blame solely on the coach Bill Belichick, and

2257
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 1: Harris played for the Patriots from twenty nineteen to twenty

2258
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 1: twenty two. He was on a show just the other

2259
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: day and he said jones failures were not all his fault.

2260
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Really, I read more and more into it,

2261
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:03,120
Speaker 1: and it kind of makes a little bit of sense.

2262
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 1: What happened in New England to Mac Jones is because

2263
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 1: of the fact that he took away an offensive coordinator

2264
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 1: who coached him to be a Pro bowler and almost

2265
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,520
Speaker 1: coached us to winning our division with a rookie quarterback.

2266
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,479
Speaker 1: And then you take Matt Patricia, who's coach defense his

2267
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 1: entire life, Joe Judge, who's been a special teams coach,

2268
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 1: and you just throw them in there and say, hey, coach,

2269
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 1: did coach this kid up? He's a first round pick.

2270
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: But as long as your teaching what I say, everything's

2271
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 1: going to be fine. Do you agree? Can this be

2272
01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: possible that it's Belichick's fourth because the Patricia thing was

2273
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 1: crazy anyway to make him an offensive guy who's a

2274
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 1: defensive coach, Right.

2275
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:41,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you certainly can say those

2276
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:45,120
Speaker 2: things impacted the way that mac Jones performed. He might

2277
01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:48,120
Speaker 2: have regressed a little bit, but Bill Belichick didn't set

2278
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 2: him up for success. He might have, like Belichick might have,

2279
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 2: thought he was doing was in the best interests of

2280
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,800
Speaker 2: the team, but it had a negative impact on mac Jones.

2281
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:59,280
Speaker 2: Mac Jones played at a pro Bowl level when he

2282
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:02,000
Speaker 2: first entered the league. Mac Jones showed promise for the

2283
01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 2: Patriots early, and it never reached that again.

2284
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 3: The Common Denominator Josh.

2285
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 2: McDaniels departs, you have musical cheers when it comes to

2286
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 2: the people that are the voices around him and in

2287
01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 2: his head, and ultimately the Patriots move on from him.

2288
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 2: You do wonder new opportunity in Jacksonville, not to be

2289
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 2: a starter, but a different voice, a refreshing environment for

2290
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:25,640
Speaker 2: him where he can kind of relax and kind of

2291
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 2: be the person that he was when he was in Alabama.

2292
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 2: We'll see what kind of impact it has. But yeah,

2293
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 2: I think Damien Harris certainly has something. He's onto something

2294
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 2: when he talks about how Bill Belichick kind of messed

2295
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:39,639
Speaker 2: up what was a good thing going in mac Jones.

2296
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think that comes to a point in

2297
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 1: time that you know, Belichick was great, had tremendous success,

2298
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:46,880
Speaker 1: and if you put the I hate to use this,

2299
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 1: turn the Mount Rushmore of coaches in the National Football League.

2300
01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:51,599
Speaker 1: He's got to be one of those coaches. He's got

2301
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:54,640
Speaker 1: to be up there. But I think with success comes stubbornness.

2302
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 1: You don't want to change your ways, you know, and

2303
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't have to change your ways because you've

2304
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 1: been so successful throughout the time you've done it that way.

2305
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: So he was stubborn with Mac Jones, but I think

2306
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 1: he was also pretty stubborn with Cam Newton. He thought

2307
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton could come back and play, and you know

2308
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 1: it didn't happen either. I mean, I think down the

2309
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 1: end of his career. I'm not saying his career is over.

2310
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 1: He may coach again. I don't know who's going to

2311
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: hire him because I think there's a fear factor in that.

2312
01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: When he comes in, he wants to do it his

2313
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 1: way and only his way, and I don't think a

2314
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 1: lot of people want to give up that power. That's

2315
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: why he may not got a coaching job again.

2316
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:34,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't mean those other people are right. There's

2317
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:36,120
Speaker 2: no one that has won as many Super Bowls as

2318
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, and there is no one who coaches for

2319
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 2: a long time in the league who doesn't have a

2320
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 2: bit of a slump. Don Shula at the end of

2321
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 2: his run, lost a lot of games, didn't have a

2322
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 2: bunch of winning seasons during the end of his tenure

2323
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:54,360
Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins. Tom Landry summarily dismissed from the

2324
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:57,320
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys at the end of his tenure. It happens

2325
01:49:57,360 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 2: to everybody, but I will say this, when you look

2326
01:49:59,880 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 2: at the New England pages in a number of close

2327
01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:05,600
Speaker 2: games that they played when a roster that compares to

2328
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 2: others was far inferior.

2329
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 3: He is a great coach. And did he make some mistakes.

2330
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 2: Sure, I think he would admit that he made some

2331
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:16,639
Speaker 2: mistakes along the way, But that shouldn't take away from

2332
01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:21,000
Speaker 2: someone inquiring about his ability to build a team because

2333
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 2: there is no one that is won to the level

2334
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 2: that he's one in the National Football League.

2335
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 1: What do you think would make him make Patricia an

2336
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,599
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator when this guy coach defense all his life.

2337
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and you you know I have talked about this,

2338
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 1: like you once told me that you know, to be

2339
01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 1: a coach, you have to learn, or at least a

2340
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 1: head coach, learn every position, be a line coach, of

2341
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 1: defensive back coach, linebackers coach. So yeah, but learning on

2342
01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:51,360
Speaker 1: the job from one position, it's entirely look defensively, you

2343
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:53,680
Speaker 1: have to know what the offensive doing, so you have

2344
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 1: to have an offensive mind to some extent, right, you

2345
01:50:57,120 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: know what the schemes may be because you're lining up

2346
01:50:59,120 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 1: against the offense.

2347
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:02,720
Speaker 3: So here's the fun thing.

2348
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 2: Because people have taken Matt Patricia to task for what

2349
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 2: they did on offense, but they were a better offense

2350
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 2: for Matt Patricia downland Upton last year when they had

2351
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:17,600
Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien. A lot of times people think that to

2352
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 2: be great on one side of the ball, you have

2353
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:21,599
Speaker 2: to stay on that side of the ball, when in essence,

2354
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 2: to be great on offense, you really need to know defense.

2355
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 2: And the only way to know defense is to coach

2356
01:51:26,320 --> 01:51:28,759
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball, because when you coach

2357
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 2: on the other side of the ball, you really learn

2358
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,680
Speaker 2: all the ins and outs about the wise behind what defenses.

2359
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 2: Do you take that and go to offense. You now

2360
01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:41,160
Speaker 2: have a better understanding of when we do this, this

2361
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:44,400
Speaker 2: forces the defense to react like that, this is how

2362
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 2: we should counter those tactics.

2363
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,920
Speaker 3: To me, it makes sense. Bill Belichick has done that

2364
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 3: a lot.

2365
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 2: He's always made guys get out of their box, make

2366
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 2: them coach different ways, cross train them, because what it

2367
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:58,599
Speaker 2: does is it enhances your.

2368
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:03,280
Speaker 3: Overall knowledge of the game. And the best coaches know

2369
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 3: all parts of the game. They're not pigeonholed and just

2370
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 3: learning one side of it.

2371
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 1: Right, and I'll tell you something else, And maybe this

2372
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: is nothing new to you. For sure, but you know,

2373
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:17,439
Speaker 1: when a coach is at a certain position, it's like

2374
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 1: the Peter principal. You could be a great teacher, but

2375
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean you could be a great principal.

2376
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:22,759
Speaker 3: Okay.

2377
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:25,560
Speaker 1: So you could be a great coordinator, that does not

2378
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:28,680
Speaker 1: mean you're going to be a great head coach. Josh McDaniels,

2379
01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 1: to me, was a pretty darn good offensive coordinator. You know,

2380
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 1: he may never well be a great head coach when

2381
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 1: all of a sudden done with his career.

2382
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, And some people are like that. Everyone's not necessarily

2383
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 2: built to be the leader. Everyone's not built to be

2384
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 2: the one that organizes everything. We all have our different

2385
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 2: strengths and weaknesses. And when you play into your strengths,

2386
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:54,760
Speaker 2: that's when you have your greatest opportunity to succeed. And

2387
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 2: so for some coaches, that is being a head coach.

2388
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 2: For other coaches, that's being an assistant coach, position coach

2389
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:01,920
Speaker 2: for others, desk being a.

2390
01:53:01,960 --> 01:53:03,719
Speaker 3: Coordinator, one that can tie it all together.

2391
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:06,760
Speaker 2: You have to know, as the head coach, how can

2392
01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:08,680
Speaker 2: I put this guy in the best position for him

2393
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:09,719
Speaker 2: to help our franchise.

2394
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:10,920
Speaker 3: Doesn't always work.

2395
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 1: Out, okay, Jacksonville, the Jaguars are close to your heart.

2396
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 1: Mac Jones is a member of the Jaguars right now.

2397
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,400
Speaker 1: Your assessment, does he have a shot, will you see

2398
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:21,599
Speaker 1: some playing time, will he see the light of day,

2399
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 1: or can he change things around?

2400
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 3: I think he can turn it around.

2401
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 2: One of the things that I learned from one playing

2402
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 2: with the Raiders under the late Al Davis and playing

2403
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,760
Speaker 2: for the Green Bay Packers with Ron Woolf, who learned

2404
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 2: from Al Davis. You always kick the tires on former

2405
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 2: first round picks. If a guy was taken in the

2406
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 2: first round, you want to kick the tires on him

2407
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 2: because someone saw some talent in him that was at

2408
01:53:45,360 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 2: a higher level, and the rest of the league typically

2409
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 2: saw someone that was drafted in the first round as

2410
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 2: the first round talent. For mac Jones, because it's the

2411
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:55,200
Speaker 2: quarterback and they have extra value, you always want to

2412
01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:57,839
Speaker 2: take a shot on that. Maybe it was the environment,

2413
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 2: Maybe was the coaches that were in his ear. Him

2414
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 2: out of that environment put him in a newer environment.

2415
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:05,679
Speaker 2: Jacksonville is his hometown, so he's certainly very comfortable there.

2416
01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson is a different type coach than Bill Belichick

2417
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 2: and the guys that were there. Maybe he gets with

2418
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 2: those guys and just kind of has an epiphany in

2419
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 2: terms of how to play the game and those things

2420
01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 2: I will say, and watching him practice, he's looser, he's freer.

2421
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:23,680
Speaker 2: He appears to be having a lot of fun, and

2422
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:25,479
Speaker 2: a lot of times when you're having fun, you end

2423
01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:28,360
Speaker 2: up playing well. Who's to say, as a backup quarterback

2424
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:30,720
Speaker 2: to Trevor Lawrence, if he gets his opportunity that Bank

2425
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:32,760
Speaker 2: Jones can't go in there and play well and set

2426
01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 2: himself up for either a return to start or maybe

2427
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 2: a long term situation in Jacksonville just mutually beneficial to

2428
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 2: him and to the team.

2429
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:42,480
Speaker 1: Well, you say he's looser and having a lot more fun,

2430
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 1: because there's certainly a lot less pressure on him right

2431
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 1: now because he knows Trevor Lawrence is the quarterback and

2432
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 1: he's not vying for the number one spot, being drafted

2433
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 1: number one and coming to fill in for a Tom

2434
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:56,280
Speaker 1: Brady situation in New England that was a lot of pressure.

2435
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 1: Right now, there's no pressure because he probably won't see

2436
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: action unless Trevor Lawrence it's hurt or they're winning by

2437
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns maybe in one game.

2438
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:07,920
Speaker 2: That is probably true that he doesn't have the same

2439
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 2: kind of pressure that he had on him once before.

2440
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 3: But it's still a situation where he has to learn

2441
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 3: how to play.

2442
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,160
Speaker 2: He has to add some tools to his tool built

2443
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:21,320
Speaker 2: to put himself in a position to maybe be a

2444
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:24,840
Speaker 2: starter again in this league. But he's having fun. You

2445
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 2: can see on social media that he's having a lot

2446
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 2: of fun. He's happy to be and excited to be

2447
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 2: back in his hometown. It might just be the right

2448
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 2: situation for him and we'll see where he goes from there.

2449
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:36,000
Speaker 1: All right, He's Bucket Brooks on Amy Firman. We are

2465
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: the eye man right here with the blame game, let's

2466
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 1: play you ruin me.

2467
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 8: It's all your fault. No, it's your fault. What is

2468
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 8: all your fault?

2469
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's everyone's.

2470
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 8: Faults, the liar. That's why there's the blame game. Let's

2471
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:38,160
Speaker 8: figure out who to blame.

2472
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:42,080
Speaker 10: All right, don't blame game. This is this is the

2473
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:44,280
Speaker 10: perfect way to close out the show. I love that

2474
01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 10: we do this. This is just like a cafeteria food fight.

2475
01:56:48,840 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 10: Is just blame. We're just throwing it all anyway. Uh,

2476
01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:56,640
Speaker 10: let's go. The Indianapolis Colts just built three swimming pools

2477
01:56:56,720 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 10: inside Lucas Oil Stadium, complete with over two million gallons

2478
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:03,000
Speaker 10: of water. The venue will host the twenty twenty four

2479
01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 10: US Olympics swimming Trials June fifteenth and twenty third. But

2480
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 10: with this being the case, why can't NFL stadiums just

2481
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:12,760
Speaker 10: install natural grass instead of artificial turf? Who do you blame?

2482
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:15,600
Speaker 1: Andy of the owners, they didn't want to spend the money.

2483
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,720
Speaker 1: Come on, don't you see what's happening. It's all the greed.

2484
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:21,520
Speaker 1: Greed is good. If you're in the National Football League,

2485
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 1: you know they cut back the preseason games. Why they

2486
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 1: don't make a lot of money on those preseason games.

2487
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:28,600
Speaker 1: They want to expand the regular season. Money, money, money,

2488
01:57:28,840 --> 01:57:32,560
Speaker 1: the green cabbage of salvation. It's all about money. That's

2489
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,520
Speaker 1: what it is. The guilt right now.

2490
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,680
Speaker 2: Look, it's certainly the owners, because what happens is you

2491
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 2: play seventeen games in a stadium, only eight or nine home.

2492
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:43,400
Speaker 3: But you have.

2493
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:46,080
Speaker 2: Concerts, you have tractive pools, you have all kinds of

2494
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:49,160
Speaker 2: other events in the stadium. It is easier to maintain

2495
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:50,360
Speaker 2: turf than grass.

2496
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 3: So it's the money situation.

2497
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 1: Oh they're smoking grass, that's why that's the problem.

2498
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 10: Well, the player's president of the NFLPA, Ryan Kelly, who's

2499
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,360
Speaker 10: a for the Indianapolis Colts. So I guess we're sticking

2500
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 10: to the cults theme here for a sec. He was

2501
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:07,800
Speaker 10: asked about the potential of an eighteen game NFL season,

2502
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,280
Speaker 10: and he took a little jab at Roger Goodell, saying,

2503
01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:12,520
Speaker 10: put on a helmet for eighteen of those games, then

2504
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:14,560
Speaker 10: come talk to me, fucky, who do you blame?

2505
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I blame ownership, but I blame

2506
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 2: ownership because it's gonna be a boom to the pocketbook.

2507
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:25,080
Speaker 2: The most popular sport in the country has an opportunity

2508
01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 2: to put another regular season game.

2509
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 3: That's gonna add more money.

2510
01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 2: To the owner's pockets but also the player's pocket. Look,

2511
01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:32,840
Speaker 2: this is a business decision. You wipe away a preseason

2512
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 2: game for a regular season game, everyone gets more money.

2513
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 2: Players can complain about it, but it's better for the game.

2514
01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 3: It's better for the league if you had another game.

2515
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:43,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna take a different stance on this because

2516
01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 1: I kind of like the fact that on eighteen. Why

2517
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 1: more is better? We love football, and I can't stand

2518
01:58:49,080 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 1: having an auto amount of games. Seventeen games, So you're

2519
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna get screwed at home. You're gonna miss a home

2520
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,520
Speaker 1: game if you're a season ticket holder. So at least

2521
01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 1: now you have nine to nine, at least it's even

2522
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 1: make it sixteen eighteen. But seventeen is a stupid amount,

2523
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:04,960
Speaker 1: So go ahead. I love it, We love the NFL.

2524
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:06,680
Speaker 1: More is better in this case.

2525
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 10: All right, Well, you guys touched on it a little earlier.

2526
01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 10: But the US cricket team upset Pakistan in the Cricket

2527
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 10: World Cup the other day. Guys, this was legitimately one

2528
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:19,000
Speaker 10: of the biggest upsets in sports history. But uh, nobody

2529
01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 10: in the US really cares. Who do you blame, Andy,

2530
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 10: I don't blame anybody, but no one does care.

2531
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean cricket. You know what if they had a

2532
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:29,480
Speaker 1: cricket match behind my house right now, I closed the drapes.

2533
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 1: No one cares about cricket, really, at least in our country.

2534
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:36,000
Speaker 1: You don't even know what cricket. You can't even spell cricket. Really,

2535
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,360
Speaker 1: Please give me a break, Bucky.

2536
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:41,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.

2537
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 2: No one pays attention to cricket. I mean I blame

2538
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 2: us because maybe we don't expand our horizons. But we

2539
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 2: should think about more than just a major sports I

2540
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:53,120
Speaker 2: think we just need to continue to expand our sports palette.

2541
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:54,040
Speaker 3: All right.

2542
01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 10: Well, the Mike Tyson, the Mike Tyson versus jacqullfight, The

2543
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,720
Speaker 10: Mic Tyson Mike Tyson excuse me, Jake Paul fight was

2544
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:06,720
Speaker 10: officially rescheduled for November fifteenth, after Tyson was dealing with

2545
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,400
Speaker 10: a medical emergency. He was dealing with some ulcers or something.

2546
02:00:10,080 --> 02:00:11,920
Speaker 10: Is it even worth it at this point? Andy, who

2547
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:12,360
Speaker 10: do you blame?

2548
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Who? Wait? Bucky goes first? I went first last time?

2549
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:16,400
Speaker 10: Excuse me, Bucky will start with you.

2550
02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:19,960
Speaker 3: Oh look, man, Mike Tyson should me to bring out now?

2551
02:00:20,120 --> 02:00:22,000
Speaker 2: And am worried about Mike Tyson get in if you

2552
02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:24,280
Speaker 2: had a medical situation before you even gets in the ring.

2553
02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 2: Like Jake Paul is not a professional fighter, but he

2554
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 2: certainly swings hard enough to hurt Mike Tyson.

2555
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 3: I'm worried now. I don't want to see this fight

2556
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:31,240
Speaker 3: go on.

2557
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:35,080
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, take a step back, Iron, Mike Pickers.

2558
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:37,680
Speaker 1: I think it's the age factor. You better get a

2559
02:00:37,760 --> 02:00:39,960
Speaker 1: doctor taking care of you pretty good. Because I don't

2560
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:42,280
Speaker 1: like what I'm hearing your medical issues, and they didn't

2561
02:00:42,280 --> 02:00:45,760
Speaker 1: really announce or release exactly what the issues were. Maybe

2562
02:00:45,800 --> 02:00:47,960
Speaker 1: it's time to just say we don't need this, you know,

2563
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 1: let it go. Your health is more important.

2564
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 10: All right, Well we'll end with this quick one. So justin,

2565
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 10: Jefferson just got his new contract, record breaking makes him

2566
02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 10: the highest paid non quarterback in the league. Three Cowboys

2567
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 10: players have yet to be paid. Who do you blame, Bucky?

2568
02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:04,960
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, pay the people m hm.
