What do you want 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: us to get to? 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I do want to get to the Seattle Seahawks, 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 5: my team with a huge showdown against the Rams coming 41 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 5: up on Sunday. 42 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 4: But I want to talk about the Most. 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 5: Valuable Player Award because I think that there is an 44 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 5: interesting conversation for the odds that we just talked about 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 5: when we did rank them bet online having and this 46 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 5: was as of this morning. Matthew Stafford your favorite at 47 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 5: three to one, Drake May plus three twenty five, Jonathan 48 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 5: Taylor plus three fifty. Sam Donald is sitting there right 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 5: now with the sixth shortest odds at plus eight point 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 5: fifty at seventeen to two, and the Seahawks and their 51 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 5: record and Donald's passer rating are all reasons for Donald 52 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 5: to be a candidate. But Jackson Smith and Jigba is 53 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 5: one hundred to one, and when Sam Donald is only 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 5: throwing it to Jackson Smith and Jigba, I don't know 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 5: how Sam Donald or anybody else could be higher than 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jigba in that conversation. If we're having 57 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 5: the conversation at Jonathan Taylor like we are, I think 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 5: we need to have it about Jackson Smith and Jigba, 59 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 5: who is on pace to possibly break Calvin Johnson's all 60 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 5: time record for receiving yards in a season, Like the 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 5: two thousand yard mark for JSN is not out of 62 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 5: the realm of possibilities. Nineteen sixty four is the number 63 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 5: that Kelvin Johnson set in twenty twelve. Cooper Cup almost 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 5: broke it a few years ago, fell just short of it. 65 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 5: But Doug the target number for Jackson Smith and Jigma 66 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 5: on the season, and this is something that we talked 67 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 5: about in our latest I Want Your Flex podcast episode 68 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 5: with Mike Harmon and our executive producer Ian Roddy. I'm 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 5: also plugging that podcast. 70 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: Such a name dropper. 71 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jigba has eighty five targets on the season. 72 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 5: Second most on the team is Cooper Cup with thirty five. 73 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 5: There is a fifty target gap between first and second 74 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: on the Seahawks. So if Sam Donald, who is basically 75 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 5: only throwing to Jackson Smith and Jigba, is considered an 76 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 5: MVP candidate, how is JSN so far down the line 77 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 5: at one hundred to one? And I know the answer. 78 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: Donald's a quarterback, Jsn's a wide receiver. I understand that. 79 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 5: But when you have one guy who has single handedly 80 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 5: been your really your entire offense because they haven't been 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 5: running the football that well, that to me stands out 82 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 5: like a sore thumb. He's not gonna win it, but 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 5: I mean he is the reason. If the quarterback is 84 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 5: throwing to just one guy, I think it should be 85 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: the guy who's catching the football and not the one 86 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 5: who's throwing the football. 87 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: Uh, great point. I mean Cooper we were talking about, 88 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup was MVP of the 89 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, rightfully so, because all they did was thow 90 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: to him on the last drive against the Bengals. If 91 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: that's the case, if Cooper Cup can be the why 92 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: can't Jackson Smith and Jigbob the MVP of the league 93 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: considering his team's winning and he's the biggest reason. 94 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: Why. 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 6: What did you think of the way they utilized the 96 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 6: new player from. 97 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: The Saints, Rashid Chiheed. 98 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 5: They were up so big they really didn't have to. 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 5: He did return a couple of kicks. I know that's 100 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 5: going to add a different dimension, but he really wasn't 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 5: needed on Sunday because they were up so much. 102 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 6: I did notice too, that Sam Donald did some real 103 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 6: Sam Donald things in the second half. Yes, you did. 104 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 6: Trying to make it close. 105 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, three turnovers, fumble, two interceptions, one of the excuse me, 106 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 5: two fumbles, one interception. The interception was the ricochet off 107 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 5: the helmet, second time that's happened this season. Fumbled snap 108 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 5: inside your own five yard line. That doesn't help. And 109 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 5: there was a strip sack. Joshwat was able to strip 110 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 5: Donald of the football, and something that happened to Donald 111 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 5: multiple times this year. I'm going to continue to harp 112 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 5: on the Seahawks turning over the football, kind of like 113 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 5: Jason does with the Dodgers. Even though everything looks good, 114 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 5: there are still problems. So if the Seax lose on Sunday, 115 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 5: it's very likely going to be because of bad turnovers. 116 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: Uh okay, there, I'll take one again. 117 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: And we haven't. I don't think we've discussed. I know Sam's, 118 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 2: I don't know yours. Jase too. 119 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 6: I group text. I started the group text with my subject. 120 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 6: Sam belatedly contributed his You and Dan ignored it. 121 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: There's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you want. 122 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 2: That's not what I want to do. 123 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: I want to be sorry that I just have to. 124 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 5: I didn't ignore it because you sent me a specific 125 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 5: single text to ask about what my what my thing was? 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 5: So I gave you a topic and I did give 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 5: you an answer. I just this is way too inside. 128 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 5: Don't paint me as the scofflaw who did not follow 129 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 5: up on the group text. 130 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 4: Please don't. All right, Doug, the floor is yours. 131 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: I just this is me going, hey, Rob Parker is 132 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: having a really tough time because he's always called Matt 133 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: Stafford stat Padford. Right, isn't that what he calls him? 134 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: Is that? Am I? Right? Sam? 135 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? 136 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: Stat Padford? 137 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is nasty and he's having an unbelievable year 138 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: that I'm guessing that. I'm guessing Dan. You know the stats, 139 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: because that's your how your brain works, Jay Stu. Any 140 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: idea of what his touchdown interception ratio is. 141 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 6: No idea. I just know the last four. 142 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: Week twenty five touchdowns, two interceptions all season twenty five 143 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: and two. 144 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: And here's the guy pretty good. Yeah, here's a guy 145 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: who remember was it last year? 146 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: Year before they were like, eh, you know, you might 147 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: want to finish somewhere else, he went checked out the market. 148 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: Everything was about his bad back. What are they going 149 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: to do if he retires? And I mean, Stafford's this 150 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: weird quarterback that he's unbelievably talented and when he's in 151 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: a rhythm, holy count. 152 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: Now, I will grant you Niners aren't very good right now. 153 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: And the previous game was against the Saints, but before 154 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: that it was the Jags. 155 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: Whatever. But twenty five and two over a season twenty 156 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: five and two is crazy. 157 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: He should be in any conversation of best quarterback in 158 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: the league, should be any conversation of MVP league. 159 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: And I remember, this is a. 160 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: Guy that some people thought might retire before the season started. 161 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, that's my Tuesday morning quarterback. The Okay, let 162 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: me get to Jay Stewart, you're up. 163 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 6: I don't know about your guys' process, but whenever I 164 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 6: see like one of these aggregators send out these stats, 165 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 6: I send it to myself. I'm like, I want at 166 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 6: some point it might come up on the air this week. 167 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 6: I'm just gonna send this to myself, and Doug just 168 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 6: handed it to me like a Wheelhouse fastball. 169 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 170 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 6: Did you guys know the milestone that Matthew Stafford reached 171 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 6: on Sunday. He now has a career NFL record as 172 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 6: a starting quarterback of one fifteen one fifteen and one. 173 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 6: He reached five hundred. Oh. It's the most career starts 174 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 6: that any NFL quarterback has ever gone. Reaching five hundred 175 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 6: for the first time at three hundred or two hundred 176 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: and thirty one pretty amazing to me. But I want 177 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 6: to talk about another mid quarterback, or was considered mid 178 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 6: up until about eight weeks ago, and now people are 179 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 6: trying to tell us that they always knew that he 180 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 6: would go back to being mid. This is Daniel Jones. Okay, 181 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 6: Daniel Jones had a surprising start to the season, and 182 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 6: surprising in this regard. He was always turnover prone. That 183 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 6: was his thing coming in and I think he went 184 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 6: the first three or four games without turning the ball over. 185 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 6: I think I remember asked in Janual Jeremiah, how do 186 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 6: you coach turnovers out of quarterbacks? Well, the last couple 187 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 6: of weeks, if you guys have been paying attention, he's 188 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 6: thrown four interceptions and in the game Overseas on Sunday, 189 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 6: he put the ball on the rug three times, only 190 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 6: lost one of them, but he fumbled three times. So 191 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 6: if you're doing the math, I think we're looking at 192 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 6: seven or eight turnovers in the last two weeks. When 193 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 6: will Daniel Jones start playing like Daniel Jones? Maybe we're 194 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 6: seeing signs of that. Jonathan Taylor making up for a 195 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 6: lot of wartz. I did want to point this out. 196 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 6: So before the game Overseas, Kyle Brant was able to 197 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 6: sit down with Daniel Jones and turns out Daniel Jones 198 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 6: is a very boring guy, very uninteresting. In fact, it 199 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 6: became a part of the conversation that Daniel Jones is 200 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 6: an uninteresting guy. And this is how Daniel Jones chose 201 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 6: to defend himself against that reputation. 202 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 7: Probably a part of my personality. I feel like I've 203 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 7: never tried to try. 204 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 4: I don't. 205 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 206 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 7: Social media, whatever it is, I don't. I don't share 207 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 7: too much. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, I 208 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 7: think try to play football and hang out with my 209 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 7: family and friends. 210 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 4: Pretty pretty simple. 211 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 212 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I said, I don't. I don't do a ton. 213 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 7: I mean, I pretty much play football and uh and 214 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 7: hang out. 215 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 6: I play football and I hang out. Which I've held 216 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 6: this up for a very long time. To make it 217 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 6: to that level, a quarterback needs to be exceptionally gifted 218 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 6: in doing one thing and they don't necessarily do anything else. 219 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 6: They're not worldly, they're not sophisticated. There are very rare, 220 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 6: rare exceptions to this. If you watch the Netflix Quarterback 221 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 6: season two, you see how boring quarterbacks are. There were 222 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 6: cousins and two other white guys. In fact, the Netflix 223 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 6: special should be called white Quarterbacks, White boring, uninteresting quarterbacks. 224 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 6: You will see how uninteresting these people are. There's just 225 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 6: no they're there. They are not dynamic, and they're thinking 226 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 6: for a reason, which I'm going to drive the point 227 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 6: home for the one hundredth time on these airwaves. We 228 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 6: cannot take Aaron Rodgers for granted. In twenty years, somebody's 229 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 6: going to be like, wait a minute, A quarterback would 230 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 6: go on controversial podcasts and say controversial things and said 231 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 6: interesting things. Maybe not everyone agreed with it, but he 232 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 6: said things without any kind of thought for recourse, and 233 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 6: he had an intellectual capacity to have those conversations with 234 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 6: people that were well versed in very complicated matters. And 235 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 6: my answer to my grandkids are gonna be yes. And 236 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 6: most quarterbacks were like Daniel Jones. So I think I 237 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 6: didn't take away your topic? Did I say, am No, Nope, 238 00:12:59,200 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 6: I have that. 239 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 8: I would actually love to speak if Aaron Rodgers wants 240 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 8: and I'll get into my point about Aaron Rodgers here 241 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 8: in a second. If he ever wants to have any 242 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 8: dealings with the media in like fifteen years, would be 243 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 8: like a celebrity guest or whatever. He's gonna be like 244 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 8: the NFL's version of like a medicine man. He's gonna 245 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 8: have like long hair, he's gonna have beads on his neck, 246 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 8: he's gonna have more tattoos. He's gonna be talking about, 247 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 8: you know, experimental drugs. If he wants to have a 248 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 8: role in the future, he should embrace being the NFL's 249 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 8: medicine man. Right now, he's with the Steelers, and the 250 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 8: Steelers are slumping. They've lost three of four. And listen, 251 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 8: Sunday Night's game against the Chargers was surprising and he 252 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 8: was mostly, if not partially, the reason they lost the game. 253 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 8: And he's never been he's never been stiffer looking, and 254 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 8: he's never been older. Obviously, they cannot stop time. It 255 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 8: marches forward. But you still are in the best position 256 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 8: to win with him as your quarterback. So along with 257 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 8: Mike Tomlin giving him a vote of confidence, I'm giving 258 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers a vote of confidence. 259 00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 4: I know they're in again. 260 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 8: The start out four and one, they're five and four, 261 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 8: but they did have that win over the Colts, which 262 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 8: was a nice win. Kind of got people off their 263 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 8: back for a second, I think for the rest of 264 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 8: the year and beyond, Aaron Rodgers should be your QB 265 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 8: one and stick with him and ride it out because 266 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 8: the NFL goes in waves and wins and losses. 267 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 6: We know that, Dan. Would that be uttered? Would that 268 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 6: rise to the level of a fantasy expertise on your 269 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 6: podcast QB one Aaron Rodgers, Well. 270 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: I wouldn't recommend that as advice of him being the 271 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: QB one. 272 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: I would not either. 273 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 8: Well for the Steelers, you can't well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 274 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 8: I'm just saying. I'm just saying that that part the 275 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 8: reasons they've lost games off and on through the season, 276 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 8: it's been somewhat their defense, and Aaron Rodgers is playing 277 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 8: near that. But Aaron Rodgers a tied for fifth in 278 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 8: the NFL and touchdown passes, so he's still slinging it around. 279 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 8: And again, he's not the Aaron Rodgers of fifteen years 280 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 8: ago now, but I'm just giving him a vote of confidence. 281 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 8: They're slumping right now, but it's not all him. Sunday night, 282 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 8: it was that was a surprising loss, and he played 283 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 8: very poorly, but he also got sacked a bunch, and 284 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 8: so some of it's on him, some of it's on 285 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 8: the line, some of it is on giving the charges credit. 286 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: I do want to get to was that your that 287 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: was that your Tuesday morning quarterback yesterday?

Why fire Nigo Harrison? 322 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 9: Now? Oh? Because the fans had gotten to a point 323 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 9: where they it had become a major distraction, and Patrick Dumont, 324 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 9: the Dumont wanted to be able to the owner, wanted 325 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 9: to be able to go attend games, and that was 326 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 9: going to become increasingly difficult because they were going to 327 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 9: look at him and be waiting for him to fire 328 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 9: an Eco. So I just feel like we always get 329 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 9: We always get mad at the wrong person. You know, 330 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 9: at the beginning of last year what led to the trade. 331 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 9: Luca Donsis comes back and he's not in shape, and 332 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 9: he gets injured again. Everybody people weren't mad at him. 333 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 10: They were they were mad even then already. 334 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 9: At Jason Kidd and the Mads and general. And then 335 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 9: they make the move. And this is obviously Patrick Damon 336 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 9: is looking at the ownership is looking at it saying, 337 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 9: we don't want to pony up three hundred and sixty 338 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 9: five million for a guy who seems to be constantly 339 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 9: hurt on our watch. And so Nico goes and makes 340 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 9: the deal. And uh, and now we're mad. We're mad 341 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 9: at Nico and and okay, so we fired Nico. How 342 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 9: does that solve the situation. I know that the fans 343 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 9: feel some satisfaction in seeing him hung out, but I 344 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 9: just this to me is the danger when you're running 345 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 9: a team by crowdsource. 346 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 2: And well, it's it's the old it's the old Jerry Sloan. 347 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: If you listen to fans, soon you become one of them, 348 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: right yeah. 349 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 9: Yeah, And this is and this is a naive fan 350 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 9: who happens to be running the team because look was 351 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 9: it was it a questionable move on the part of 352 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 9: the Mavericks to to move Luka Doncic for what they got. Absolutely, absolutely, 353 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 9: if you're going to move him, try to get try 354 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 9: to get more. But they were also under you know, 355 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 9: from everything I know, it was it was owner mandate 356 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 9: to we're not paying three hundred and sixty five million dollars, 357 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 9: see what you can get. And if you're gonna do 358 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 9: that in short order, and you're gonna be able to 359 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 9: try to pitch them on the idea that that you're 360 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 9: gonna still have some championship possibilities rather than rebuilding, then 361 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 9: the move that they made, I don't know if there's 362 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 9: an appreciably better one that could have been made. The 363 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 9: biggest problem that I have is if you're going to 364 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 9: make this move, if you're if you're if you're going 365 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 9: to allow Nico Harrison or push Nico Harrison to trade 366 00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 9: Luka Doncic, you don't eleven games into this season and 367 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 9: then say, oh, that was a mistake. You know, you're 368 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 9: you're gonna pay with your job. They haven't had their 369 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 9: complete team and it's we're eleven games into the season. 370 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 9: It just feels like one naive decision after another by 371 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 9: a naive ownership. 372 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. You know, there's no 373 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: way that trade gets made without ownership. It was just 374 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: signing off on it, but pushing for it. And then 375 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: they just they don't have the fortitude to a standard 376 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: when you don't even have your team. Kyrie's not back 377 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: till till spring. You know, Anthony Davis hasn't been healthy. 378 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: And Cooper Cooper Flag just started playing NBA basketball and 379 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: he's playing point guard, which is not his position. 380 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 2: Right It's it all happened in time. 381 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 9: But they're experimenting right now. I mean they're they're spitballing 382 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 9: because they do. They're they're injured, they don't have their 383 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 9: best players, and so how did you think this one 384 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 9: can go? And look, the optics are terrible because of 385 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 9: what Luca is doing. But Luca, like I said it 386 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 9: at the time, I thought, you know, Luca may never 387 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 9: get into the shape that he's in right now if 388 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 9: he's not traded, if he wasn't shamed into and to 389 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 9: you have to approach things different. And as I've had 390 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 9: people tell me, it's like he's in shape now, he's 391 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 9: been in shape before. Can he sustain this through the season, 392 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 9: And maybe even more important, can you with the usage 393 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 9: rate and the amount of everything going through him, are 394 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 9: you going to be any closer to a championship with 395 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 9: Luca in La than what you have in Dallas? That 396 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 9: still remains to be seen, and that story still like 397 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:47,719 Speaker 9: at the moment, looks horrible eleven games in, but eleven 398 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 9: games in is meaningless in the big picture in terms 399 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 9: of whether this actually this deal actually was the right 400 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 9: move to make or not, or who ends up winning 401 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 9: the deal, no question. 402 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: Doug Otlib show Fox Sports Trader, that's the voice of 403 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: Rick Pugree Jorge here on Fox Sports Radio. When will 404 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: Lebron James play NBA basketball? 405 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 9: When when the opportunity to look good coming in and 406 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 9: it looks like the Lakers need him, I would say 407 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 9: that is it. I don't know that he's in any 408 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 9: rush to play or get back because with his age 409 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 9: he has one. He has one thing in mind. Can 410 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 9: I can I get another ring? Is there another way 411 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 9: to win another? Another ring? And for him, the more he. 412 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 10: Can make this like the bubble year where he's not 413 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 10: playing a full season. 414 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 9: He can ramp up at the right time and then 415 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 9: make a run. I think that's why he's He's observing 416 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 9: things the way that he is, which is, how's the 417 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 9: team doing? Are we in contention? Are we in a 418 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 9: good place? And when when's the time right for me 419 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 9: to come in where I can I can find my game, 420 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 9: I can find my rhythm. Even when regardless of when 421 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 9: he comes back, I woulde I would imagine that he's 422 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 9: going to be in and out over the course of 423 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 9: the season, trying to get himself in prime position to 424 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 9: be a factor in the postseason at this point. And 425 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 9: I don't really blame him for that. But the only 426 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 9: part that I don't get is that he is as 427 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 9: stoic as he is at the end of the bench 428 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 9: like he's he seems to be so disengaged, and I 429 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 9: that just seems curious to me, because that's not the 430 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 9: way he's been in the past. When he's been out, 431 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 9: he's been far more engaged, And so it raises questions 432 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 9: about what's what's inspiring that. 433 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 2: Yes, I would I would tend to I would love 434 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: to know what the answer to that is. He would 435 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: love to know. 436 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 9: I mean, there's a reason, let's face it, anything that 437 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 9: Lebron does is not happenstance. Whatever it is calculated. There 438 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 9: is a reason for what he's doing. He knows the 439 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 9: cameras on him, he knows that we're paying attention to 440 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 9: everything that he does. So when he does something this 441 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 9: uh obvious, there's a reason behind it. And I wish 442 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 9: I could tell you what it is too. 443 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 10: I don't. 444 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 9: I don't want to leap the conclusions. There's there's a 445 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 9: lot of a lot of places you could go to 446 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 9: fill the vacuum, and uh, I just but I don't 447 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 9: want to do that because most of most of them 448 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 9: put Lebron in a negative light, and I don't know 449 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 9: that it's fair to jump to that conclusion. 450 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: Sammy, have you heard this before? But Joel Embiid has 451 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 2: ruled out for tonight's game. I know it's it's a stunner. 452 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: It's really surprising. Yeah, yeah, uh Philadelphia ride this thing out. 453 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: Are they going to try and move him? 454 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 9: Well? I think they would. Uh. I think they would 455 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 9: consider moving him for sure. But I also don't think 456 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 9: that there's anything out there that is going to make 457 00:24:54,359 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 9: it worthwhile. I would expect that it's let's have on. 458 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 9: Let's again, He's almost in the Lebron situation, and a 459 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 9: position in terms of we can if we can win 460 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 9: with these guards and we can bring back embid or 461 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 9: a b embads available at the right time. The big 462 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 9: adjustment is going to be on his part. You're going 463 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 9: to be and again much like Lebron, we got we 464 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 9: got new sheriffs in town, we got we have a 465 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 9: new nucleus, and you are more a complimentary player, still valuable, 466 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 9: still valuable, but you're a complimentary player like this is 467 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 9: our this is what we're building our team around. And 468 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 9: if he's willing to adjust to that, then I would say, 469 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 9: you know what, keep him. I don't know that you're 470 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 9: going to get anything back. It's it's more valuable and 471 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 9: or more useful. And I would say the same thing 472 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 9: with Lebron, which again goes back kind of back to 473 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 9: the like his disengagement. It's like, if he handles this 474 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 9: the right way, then you know what, you could end 475 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 9: up making a nice run being part of something that 476 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 9: at this point you shouldn't be part of. And but 477 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 9: it's all a matter of can they supplement their egos 478 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 9: for the greater good? And I with either one of them, 479 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 9: I don't know if they're willing to do that. 480 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: No, I definitely with Lebron, we just does as not 481 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: nothing he's done makes you feel as though that's the case, 482 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: right the. 483 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 9: Case I would I would tend to agree. 484 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: Rick Buker's our guest here on the Doug Ottlieb Show 485 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Buke let me let me ask 486 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: you about about Steph Curry and the Warriors. Again, we 487 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: don't we pay attention for a couple first couple of 488 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: games and then nothing else Where are they in that 489 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: high hierarchy in the West. 490 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 9: Uh, pretty much where they were they've been for the 491 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 9: last few years. And I know the run that they 492 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 9: made with Jimmy at the end of the year, But uh, 493 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 9: this is look they've they've aged out. That's just the 494 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 9: reality of it. They they could if they can get 495 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 9: to the playoffs, they could be an interesting team much 496 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 9: like they were last year. 497 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 10: They could potentially win around the counting on who they see. 498 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 10: But the but the truth of it is that small. 499 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 9: Ball has expired. It's more tall ball in terms of 500 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 9: teams are playing still playing fast, but they now have 501 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 9: they don't have six six Draymond Greens as that point forward. 502 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 9: They got they got sixty eight six nine guys that 503 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 9: are doing it, and they've got seven footers who can 504 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 9: protect the rim and space the floor. Uh so, and 505 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 9: and the talent that they have is just is deeper 506 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 9: than what the Warriors have. It's it is, I mean, 507 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 9: it's just cyclical. This is what the league is built on, 508 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 9: which is you can only stay at the top so long. 509 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 9: To stay there, you have to pay your guys, and 510 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 9: then your guys get older, your core, and you're the 511 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 9: hamstrung as far as your ability to put talent around them. 512 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 10: And so you just hit a certain limit. 513 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 9: And you look across the board at the teams that 514 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 9: are out there, and the stars that they're competing against 515 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 9: are all in their prime. Every every every team, I 516 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 9: mean Luka Doncis even Luka Doostich in his prime, Nikola 517 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 9: Jokic in his prime, Shay Gilgess, Alexander you know, still 518 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 9: maybe coming into his prime. Look across the board and 519 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 9: all of Uston Rockets, I'm Alpha and Sengoon in that group, Like, 520 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 9: there's just too many teams that are that are in 521 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 9: their prime. They can play, they're not phased at all 522 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 9: by the way that the Warriors play, and Meanwhile, the 523 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 9: Warriors are an older team that just doesn't have the 524 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 9: requisite collective talent to compete with the rest of the West. 525 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: At the top Stut Gottlieb show on Fox Sports Trader. 526 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: That's the one and only Rick Buker.

How's Kyrie 584 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 2: playing well? 585 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 4: He's not. 586 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 2: How's Anthony Davis playing well? He's not. 587 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: Now, if the argument is you acquired Innthony Davis for 588 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: Luka Doncik, who you thought would get hurt, and Anthony 589 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: Davis is always hurt. 590 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 2: Fair argument. 591 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: But that hasn't actually changed. Remember he got hurt when 592 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: he first got there. 593 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: None of this has changed. Dan, you look like you 594 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 2: have something on your mind. A counterpoint. 595 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 4: No, it's not a counterpoint. 596 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 5: I think that the timing is unique, but I think 597 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 5: I think Nico should have been fired after he traded Luca. 598 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 5: I think he should have been fired after taking credit 599 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 5: for winning the lottery, which was none of his doing. 600 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 5: They just stunk and somehow got lucky. So the timing 601 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 5: is unique, but there is at some point this organization 602 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 5: has to try to win back their fan base because 603 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 5: it hasn't happened since the day that they traded Luca. 604 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: So maybe I just again, I think their messaging was 605 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: so bad there there was never any ay, look, we 606 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: get it, but you know we did just go to 607 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals and the same guy built that team, 608 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: so give me a second whatever. I mean again, the 609 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: ownership group, the owner that fired him was the same 610 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: owner that absolutely okay the Luca trade, and that part sticks. 611 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 5: And I also, I just I've never felt that the 612 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 5: Luca trade and the fans reaction was about winning, and 613 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 5: that's as crazy as that sounds. And I think that 614 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 5: the Mavericks would have been competitive with Luca there, but 615 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 5: it was never about bringing home that championship. I just 616 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 5: always felt that the Mavericks fans loved having Luca be 617 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 5: their guy, maybe so much more than any other player 618 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 5: in the entire NBA. And I think that that so 619 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 5: for trading him to try to get better and win championships. 620 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 5: Is I don't think that the fans necessarily cared. So yeah, 621 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 5: but it is three and eight start to the season 622 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 5: on a long season when your pieces aren't there. Just 623 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 5: the timing was odd. So it wasn't any contradiction or 624 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 5: anything A great Steelers said. Coach Mike Tomlin says he 625 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 5: has no long term reservations about quarterback Aaron Rodgers following 626 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 5: Sunday's up performance against the Chargers. 627 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 2: What are his choices? 628 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 9: Right? 629 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 2: Was that Chris was that Chris Rock A man is 630 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 2: only as faithful as his options. What are his options? 631 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 5: There was a report a couple of weeks ago where 632 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 5: the Steelers were looking at Rogers as a possibility for 633 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 5: next year that while Rogers may be looking this is 634 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 5: a as a one year sort of deal, that Pittsburgh 635 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 5: would be interested in him coming back. 636 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 4: We'll have to see that. 637 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: Was that was previously. I think that's dated. I think, well, 638 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: there's last couple last couple of weeks he's looked. 639 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 5: Like that and it looked good against the Bengals and 640 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 5: they I mean, his stats aren't off the charts, but 641 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 5: he has he has even with the bad game against 642 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 5: the Chargers stabilized the position somewhat. They're just not getting 643 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 5: a lot of extra from it. 644 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 6: Sure, Mason Rudolph is still the backup. 645 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was in Tennessee last year and then came 646 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 5: back drafted. Will Howard, who's on IR Bill Belichick's in 647 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 5: North Carolina and the New York Giants job is open. 648 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 4: He was asked about it today at a u n 649 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 4: C press conference. 650 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 6: I know, when you got here, you said you're not 651 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 6: coming here to leave, But as. 652 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 2: Soon as the Giants jab came open yesterday. 653 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 4: Your name got thrown out there. I'm certain sure to 654 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 4: go with other NFL jobs. What is your message to 655 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 4: players to recruits? 656 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 6: I'm sure people aren't asking me about that. Who want 657 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 6: to come in for? 658 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: Yeah? 659 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 11: Getting ready for wait for us? That's all I got 660 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 11: this week. 661 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 5: Has anyone asked you or the players or recruits want 662 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 5: to know in myn the future? 663 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 11: I mean I've been asked about it from time to time, 664 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 11: but yeah, look, I've been done this road before. I'm 665 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 11: focused on wait for Us. That's it, and that's my 666 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 11: commitment of this team. And next week it'll be to 667 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 11: our next opponent and so forth. But you know, I'm 668 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 11: here to do the best I can for this team. 669 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 2: He didn't know who they played next.
