Speaker 1: VIP room with bordop Ricardo, mikey A on the zoom,

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: the jetsign Gino Smith. We had this is the show

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: meeting right before the show. It goes like this, literally

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: right before, right.

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: Before the show. Where do you guys want to start? Now?

17
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: There are two Jet fans of the four of us, myself, Taylor,

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: mikey A and Izzy. Two of us are monster Jet fans.

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: We both said, the World Baseball Classic is real. Gudieirez said,

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Class, Taylor said. Geno Smith to the Jets,

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: I said why He said, It's the biggest headline right

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: now in sports and so with that says, yeah, well, listen,

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: we all want to talk to you. I'm into the

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic. I am now, I am officially into it.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I am here for it.

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: I love it. I watched the game last night. I

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: was glued.

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: But I have to follow Taylor's lead here. So Taylor,

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: unload everything you have on Geno Smith. Going back to

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, go.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 4: I just thought it was interesting that the Jets had

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 4: a trade for Geno Smith because they knew if the

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: Raiders just released him and Geno Smith had his choice

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: of team, there's a very good chance Geno Smith is

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: not choosing the Jets.

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: He's not choosing the Jets.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: You're right, Yeah, apparently the Vikings were very interested. And

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 5: that's not the place you want to be fighting with

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: with that coach and that wide.

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: That coach, right, but it's lying season, are we Certainly

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: the Vikings were interested at all. I mean, perhaps they

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: convinced the Jets they had to trade for Geno Smith.

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 5: It cost them twenty picks at the end of the draft,

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: literally to go down twenty picks from the sixth to

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 5: the seventh round to ensure that he was theirs.

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 6: There's nothing wrong with that.

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: So Geno's going back to the Jets against his will.

48
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Put it on the pole tailor. Is Geno going back

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: to the Jets against his will?

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 7: It's crazy because if you're the Jets, oh, okay, he

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 7: was pretty good elsewhere, the one spot where you think

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 7: he might be bad again is your team when you

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 7: bring him back.

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: It's almost like a person in the NFL draft around

55
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: the seventh round, where they're like, I hope a team

56
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: does not draft me here, so I become a free

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: agent and then I have my choice of team. Geno

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: Smith was hoping, hey, please let me go undrafted, and

59
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: then here come the Jets picking up mister irrelevant Geno Smith.

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 7: You guys do recall that he had a statement to

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 7: the Jets after he left, right when he was with Seattle.

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 8: He said, they wrote me off. I ain't right back.

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 6: Though, Let's go to Giants.

64
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 7: Yes, well, apparently the Jets wrote back. He just never

65
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 7: got it. It must have been lost in the mails somehow, and.

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: Now he's being forced to go back there.

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 5: I wonder how much animosity is to the logo, because

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: anybody that Gino hated when he was there is gone.

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 5: Like it's a new GM. There's probably seven GM since

70
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 5: whoever cut him. There's probably seven new coaches, there's a

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: whole new roster. So really it's just the owner.

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 8: It's the colorly one that you're like, it's the color,

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 8: and the.

74
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: Jets is always there, Mikey, It's just there. It just

75
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: sits there.

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 7: Is There's no other team in sports and the major

77
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 7: pro sports here in the States that have that color, right, Like,

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 7: Jets green.

79
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: Is just Jets green, right, it's unique to the Jets.

80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 8: I believe.

81
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm pretty certain it is.

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 7: So I'm pretty sure that color in itself in PTSD

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 7: and he forgets how to throw a football.

84
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Sue, We're going to see the worst of Geno Smith

85
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: there once he returns to the Jets.

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: Okay, So that's my question. Is this bad enough for us?

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 5: Is this what we wanted? Is he going to be

88
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: bad enough that Arch Manning, Dante Moore, one of those

89
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: two come on down at the top of the.

90
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 6: Next year's draft.

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: You're celebrating today, that's what you're doing. You're happy we

92
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: got Geno Smith, right instead of Kyler.

93
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 5: Yes, I think Kyler Murray is too talented that he

94
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 5: could just will them to six and seven wins.

95
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 6: Has shown you.

96
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: I think Gino has shown you he can be a

97
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 5: two win quarterback if you need him to be, because

98
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: he just did it.

99
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: I don't think you guys are even the worst team

100
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: in the division. I think the Dolphins are clearly worse

101
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: than the Jets right now.

102
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 7: Wow, you say that, and I want to agree with you.

103
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 7: But then I just say three names, and I'm like, Okay, Well,

104
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 7: Malik Willis, we all assume maybe at least on par

105
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 7: with Gino Smith, given the chance to start seventeen game,

106
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 7: he's better.

107
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: The upside of Malik Willis is better than what Gino

108
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: Smith is going to be.

109
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 7: And then you just give me Devon a chan and

110
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 7: Jalen wall At a waddle and I'm like, you know what,

111
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 7: there might be something there. I have no idea if

112
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 7: the offensive coordinator is any good, no idea if the

113
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 7: head coach is any good.

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 8: But if they can work around those three guys might

115
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 8: not be terrible.

116
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: If given the choice Dolphins are Jets, what do you

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: think Geno Smith would choose.

118
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 7: Oh, he's coming to South Florida. Yeah, just for the weather, yeah,

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 7: just from here? Yeah, but just for weather? No, yeah,

120
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 7: but there's no guarantee that Gino starts here. He's gonna

121
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 7: be the starting quarterback for the New York Jets next year.

122
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 7: You're saying, after Malik Willis signed, if Gino would become

123
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 7: a free agent, would he sign here as a backup

124
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 7: instead of starting for the Jets?

125
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Well, a backup with a chance to start, because Malik

126
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Willis doesn't really have much starting experience in the.

127
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 7: NFL strong maybe, yeah, yeah, because I think he just

128
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 7: experienced what it was like. First of all, he already

129
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 7: did the Jets thing right, and now he just got

130
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 7: off of a Raiders team which was so irrelevant, Like

131
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 7: he might as well have been a backup in terms

132
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 7: of like the way people talk about him, because.

133
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 8: Nobody talked about him.

134
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 9: Yea.

135
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, guys. We have six minutes more

136
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: on Gino Smith then I thought we were gonna have

137
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: true That's why you gotta trust the EP man I did.

138
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: I went to him.

139
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 8: That's why we call it the VIP room.

140
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: You have anything else on Geno or no?

141
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: But I'm dying to talk World Baseball Classic too?

142
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 8: Now wants to talk baseball?

143
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 9: Is he?

144
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: I cannot believe this because I watched the game last night,

145
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and we were recording earlier today and we had ad

146
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Nan Verk on and we had other you know, we

147
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: had guests on and we're talking baseball, Salakata and all

148
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: those are active and available.

149
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: Right now live wherever you get your podcast to.

150
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Got some company that we do before the show, and

Speaker 3: We had on Chris Filika the Bear on. But Taylor

153
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: quick question.

154
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm always gonna ask you this, I feel like

155
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 7: until it really hammers him.

156
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: Salakata is who he is a former host for WFA.

157
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Yet Okay, yes, so he's okay, you're not doing that

158
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: to be mean?

159
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 7: No, No, that I'm saying is he doesn't do that, right,

160
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 7: What am I gonna do like the boss around like

161
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 7: Salakata Like, I don't know, that's a terrible I'm.

162
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 6: Gonna believe that he's doing it to be mean?

163
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 8: Really really no, no, no, wow.

164
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 7: I've heard the name so much that I know he

165
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 7: is a big deal somewhere. I just didn't know where.

166
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 7: I assume New York.

167
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: He was a big deal in New York on WFAN

168
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: until they fired him because they brought back Craig Carton

169
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: for the third time.

170
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 8: Okay, yes, all right, I'm all filled in.

171
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: Because they can't figure out how to do anything new

172
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: or different at WFAN, so they keep going back to

173
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: the well, that's what they keep doing, and they're well

174
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: as Craig Carton. So anyway, the World Baseball Classic, Taylor's

175
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: telling me earlier today. So this is about the United States.

176
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: It's about rooting for your country. And Taylor, well, his

177
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: fandom for the United States only goes so far, meaning

178
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: he will not root for Roman Anthony who hit a

179
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: three run shot, okay, because he plays for the Boston

180
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: Red Sox. And he was saying, along with Salagata, that

181
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: if the best player on their team is not American,

182
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: in Salth's case, it was Wan Soto. He was using

183
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: that as the example, you will root.

184
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: For Wan Soto's team over the United States team. Do

185
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: you agree with this?

186
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 9: Me?

187
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 8: I yes, a club over country, absolutely.

188
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: I get that idea.

189
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 7: Really, because you're you are tied in cheering for these

190
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 7: teams on the daily, if it's baseball, or you know,

191
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 7: every few days a week if it's basketball or soccer

192
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 7: and stuff like that, and you just fall in love

193
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 7: with those players in particular, like if I was a

194
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 7: Spurs fan, and I've got Wemby and it's the Olympics,

195
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 7: and I want to see Wemby absolutely murder some teams.

196
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 7: I want to see him do well. The US has

197
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 7: had his chance. If my favorite guy is the reason

198
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 7: the US loses, I'm proud of that, because again, club

199
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 7: over country.

200
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: So if Spurs fans root for Wemby and his country

201
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: in the Olympics, you're okay with that?

202
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 8: I am.

203
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 7: I think it's a more extreme American I think it's

204
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 7: more extreme because it's the Olympics versus the World Baseball Classic,

205
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: so you're not going to see as many people say

206
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 7: that out loud.

207
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 8: But I think if you went and took a camera,

208
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 8: that's a great idea.

209
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 7: Took a camera over to San Antonio during the Olympics

210
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 7: and talk to some Spurs fans, They'll say, go Franz.

211
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: All right, So maybe I can buy into that. But

212
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: how about the fact if you're rooting for team US

213
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: set okay, and you're a Yankees fit, you're not going

214
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: to root for Roman Anthony because he's a red sock.

215
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: I mean, see that.

216
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 7: One's tough rooting against the team or rooting against a player.

217
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: Either rooting for Team USA or you're not. What are

218
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: we doing here?

219
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 8: I let Taylor explain that, just to be clear.

220
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: When it comes to Roman Anthony, the situation is he

221
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: was first and second and I believe either no outs

222
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: or one out. I was just rooting for him to

223
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: get a single, maybe get a walk, keep the line moving. Instead,

224
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: he had a three run home run, and I was like, man,

225
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: that kind of stinks. I wish it was somebody else

226
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: that hit the home run. But then you're looking at

227
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: the list of guys and it's like, I don't want

228
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: to see Alex Pregman. I hate Alex Pregman. Ideally it

229
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 4: would have been Aaron Judge just hitting another.

230
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: Magic at bat. Yeah, but you can't pick and choose

231
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: these things.

232
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 7: If you either had a magic at bat, it would

233
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 7: be great if you had a magic at bat, but

234
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 7: we don't.

235
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: You have to root for the United States, even if

236
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: it means rooting for a red sock.

237
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 7: You know, my biggest takeaway about Roman Anthony is what

238
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 7: his name is?

239
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 6: Backward.

240
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: He's awesome.

241
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 7: His name is backward. It should be Anthony Roman. What

242
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 7: do you got, Taylor? I like Roman Anthony. I think

243
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 7: it's a better baseball name.

244
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 6: Yeah.

245
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: So part of the Roman Anthony thing too is I

246
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: could see where this is going and he is the

247
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,359
Speaker 4: next like twenty years.

248
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: Of baseball, yes, right, And he's not on your team.

249
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I mean, but he's on your US team

250
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 7: and you might might as well cheer for him when

251
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 7: you can, and when he hits a three run homer

252
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 7: that you're just like, man, I wish it was just

253
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 7: a single.

254
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: Put it on the pole tailor? Is Roman Anthony a

255
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: future Dodger? Is every good player a future Dodger? Yes,

256
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: Mikey Taylor.

257
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 5: Don't you want to yell at Red Sox fans who

258
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: are not rooting for the US because it's Aaron Judge, Like.

259
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 6: Don't you want to be like, oh, put it away.

260
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 6: It's it's the US. You should be rooting for it.

261
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: Let's come together.

262
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 6: I get you hating him in major leagues, but this

263
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 6: is the US.

264
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: This is this is like that meme of the Bloods

265
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: in the crypt coming together and holding up their flags together.

266
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to be united in the streets with

267
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: the Red Sox fans going into the ninth inning, Garrett

268
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: Whitlock was coming in and it was like a win

269
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: win for me? Is he because he's coming in for

270
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: the save. And I'm like, either the USA is gonna

271
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: win this game or the Red Sox closer is gonna

272
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: blow the game, and I'll be able to live with

273
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: either way.

274
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you want.

275
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 6: What the Bloods and Crips think.

276
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: This is nothing like the Bloods and Crips, by the way.

277
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 8: Anyway.

278
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 7: You want them to succeed as a team, but you

279
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 7: don't want your rivals to be the reason for that success.

280
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 7: Go ahead and let it be Aaron Judge, Let it

281
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 7: be whatever Yankee you want. Even let it be some

282
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 7: other guy who doesn't play for you within your division.

283
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 8: Just like you said, just move it along, don't hit

284
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 8: a three run homers.

285
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: So, Taylor, what if all the Bloods and the Crips

286
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: from the United States got together and they formed a

287
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: team and they were playing and fighting against the Bloods.

288
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: And the Crips from Japan. I mean, who are you

289
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: rooting for? Huh huh? That one?

290
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: I would go country to.

291
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 7: Throw in a team or something that wears all white.

292
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 7: You got the Red, the White, the Blue, Boom Super American.

293
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: Can I give you one other way to possibly think

294
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 5: about a tailor Roman Anthony is gonna be great, at

295
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: least be great when I have a rooting interest too. Like,

296
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 5: imagine he goes zero for five with five strikeouts, and

297
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: then he goes and faces the Yankees and he's three

298
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 5: run home runs.

299
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 6: You're like, you couldn't have done that when I care.

300
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 6: This is the one done that when it was for me.

301
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: This is the one opportunity you have to root for

302
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony. He's playing for your team, Taylor.

303
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: I'd rather have the card in my back pocket. When

304
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: the Yankees are playing the Red Sox and Roman Anthony

305
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 4: is doing something, I'm like, hey, remember that time he

306
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: went oh for four in the World Baseball Classic and

307
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 4: he and we lost to Japan.

308
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: You're saving cards. I like it. I'm so proud of you.

309
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you're thinking way ahead, my man.

310
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 7: All very interesting, Not the World Baseball Classic topic I

311
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 7: wanted to talk about.

312
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: What was it?

313
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 8: It was Randy A. Rose Arena and Cal Rally.

314
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: So, Randy Rose Arena comes to the comes to the plates.

315
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 7: This is the show meeting Okay, live on the air, Yes,

316
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 7: opening segment, Yep.

317
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: Randy Rose Arena comes to the plate and he tries

318
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: to shake Cal Rawley's hand m cal Raley's catching. Yep,

319
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: cal Raley refused, which was already kind of weird, but

320
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 4: then you think about it. Their teammates on the Mariners.

321
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: Yep, not teammates this week though.

322
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And when and when Randy rose Arena was asked

323
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 4: about it in the post game, he told cal Raley

324
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: he could bleep off and go to hell and he

325
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 4: could shove it straight up his bleep.

326
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 7: He said it, well, he tried to say it in

327
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 7: multiple languages.

328
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 9: Uh.

329
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 7: He was so clear and thorough about his fu uh

330
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,119
Speaker 7: to cal Raleigh that some people.

331
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 8: Are even wondering is it serious?

332
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 7: Is it some sort of a joke between the two,

333
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 7: because rose Arena, who's the other catcher, Taylor, not cal Rally.

334
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 8: But there was another catcher.

335
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 7: Maybe it wasn't a US catcher, may it was a

336
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 7: different team, but I think it was a US catcher

337
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 7: that rose Araina went to do this the shake can

338
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 7: and and he snubbed them also, But then this time

339
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 7: it was his own teammate with the Mariner, so maybe

340
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 7: he thought it would be him. And it's just like,

341
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 7: especially if you're the US team that doesn't really take

342
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 7: this so seriously, right, You're saying.

343
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 8: To the world that these other guys are super emotional

344
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 8: about it.

345
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 7: We are not go ahead and break those little unwritten

346
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 7: rules and shake your teammates hand or currently your opposition's hand,

347
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 7: but you're Seattle Mariner's teammates hand. It seemed pretty I

348
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 7: don't know, it didn't seem like the right moment to

349
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 7: be stubborn like that, to be a.

350
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: Jerk, like if you're cal Riley. So I think it's

351
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: the exact moments. I mean, this is what the World

352
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic. Playing for your country is all about.

353
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 8: It not for the US team.

354
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: When you're back in Seattle, then you can hug all

355
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: you wants. I mean, this is country versus country.

356
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 7: I think there's something else there. I think there is something.

357
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 7: What I've read sort of bits and pieces of the

358
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 7: Seattle Clubhouse is not great and maybe they just don't

359
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 7: like each other because the Rose Arena is a character.

360
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Shame on him for trying to shake people's hands on

361
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: opposing teams.

362
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: I mean, seriously, I like that cal Raley is taking

363
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 5: it as seriously as I am, or more serious.

364
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 6: That's what he should be doing. That's how we get there.

365
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I wish Tarek scuball would care a little.

366
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 6: I'm with you on that one, Tayler.

367
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 7: That's my whole point though, Like those are the two

368
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 7: opposite ends of the spectrum. Trek Scouble can't even won't

369
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 7: even get a second start out there for this team,

370
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 7: and you've got cal Rally refusing to shake somebody's hand, Like,

371
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 7: what does that have to do with anything?

372
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 8: Is it a superstition?

373
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 7: Are you going to look bad to your to your

374
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 7: World Baseball Classic teammates?

375
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't really, it's competition.

376
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: I mean my only thought process there is that maybe

377
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: Pine tar went into play and he just didn't want

378
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 4: to shake his.

379
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 7: Hands and find, hey, show the fist and then say, hey,

380
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 7: don't actually touch me.

381
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 6: Boom. That's it.

382
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 8: That's it.

383
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: On the topic of Tarik's scooble, Yeah, get this guy

384
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: out of that dugout, Get this guy away from a mic.

385
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: Every time he talks, he makes me more angry because

386
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: he said he try to make it work, but just

387
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 4: could it. Just say it's a contract year and that's

388
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: why you're not playing. Don't pretend like you have this

389
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: impossible task you were given. If Tarrek Scouble went to

390
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: his agent and went to the Tigers and was like, Hey,

391
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: I'm pitching in the final. If I'm pitching in the semifinal,

392
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: figure out how you're gonna adjust my schedule from there.

393
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: They're gonna bend over backwards for him.

394
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 7: If this was the Olympics, do you think he would

395
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 7: go and start another game, pitch another game.

396
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 8: Probably could probably make his hand man shake his hand.

397
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 8: Cal Rally, this is just a next time.

398
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: I would say cal Raley is more American than everyone else.

399
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 8: Well because his name is raleyh Yes, North Carolina cal Raley.

400
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: Yes, big dumper, Cali, big dumper. Yeah. What's the T

401
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: and tarrek stan for Taylor Trader? Yeah, trade?

402
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 8: What's more American than taking a big dump?

403
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: What's the S?

404
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: And schoolble not stand for not stars and trust? Yeah.

Speaker 1: hundred NBA players of all time to finish.

416
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: Out the show.

417
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 8: Not all of them, just ten of them, just.

418
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: Ten at a time. But is he.

419
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: I want to play some sound for you and get

420
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Steve Kerr, I'm not certain that anyone was

421
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: asking or caring, but he said it anyway. Steve Kerr

422
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: talking about a shortened season next year in the NBA.

423
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 10: I know this will not be a popular opinion in

424
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 10: the league office, but I will continue to say it

425
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 10: because it's obvious we need to play fewer games. We

426
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 10: need to take ten games off the schedule. I think

427
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 10: it would be great for the league. And I get it,

428
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 10: it's revenue and you'd have to get everybody to agree

429
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 10: to take a little less money, and that's a really

430
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 10: hard thing to do. But what I know about the league,

431
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 10: about coaching, about how hard it is to play the

432
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 10: modern game with the pace and the space, I think

433
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 10: it would be a more competitive and healthier league if

434
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 10: we played fewer games.

435
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 7: How do you feel about that is quick question that

436
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 7: we're not strolling down Audio Avenue.

437
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 8: We're just standing at a corner listening.

438
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the corner. Yes we are. We're stuck

439
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: at this house.

440
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 6: We are not moving.

441
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 7: Yes, good, because I got a lot to say, Eric,

442
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 7: I feel like I heard stan van Gundy say this.

443
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 7: I definitely hurt stan Van Gundy say this in terms

444
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 7: of one of the issues that we have today is

445
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 7: that the answer to the game being harder and being

446
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 7: played faster, and people being more athletic and having to

447
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 7: cover more space is practice less, right, save their bodies.

448
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 7: At other times, I've been saying this for a minute,

449
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 7: and conversations with you know, by trainers or whatever, you

450
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 7: should if you are capable of playing at this pace

451
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 7: regularly on the actual floor, you can practice at this

452
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 7: pace on the actual floor. You can still do things

453
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 7: to avoid injury, like maybe not as much contact, maybe

454
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 7: you sort of legislate that, but you're still playing at

455
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 7: a fast pace. You still need to condition your body

456
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 7: for how you play, because if you're not doing that regularly, well,

457
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 7: the way you play is different than what your body

458
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 7: is conditioned for. Therefore, here come the soft tissue injuries.

459
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 7: Here come perhaps if you're super fatigued and not running

460
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: or playing correctly, some non impact you know, ligament damage

461
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 7: and that's the type of stuff that again, if you

462
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 7: were conditioning your body, preparing yourself for it better, then

463
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 7: it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I disagree

464
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 7: with Steve Kerr and that we lead. I think we

465
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 7: would be better off with le game.

466
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 8: Sure.

467
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 7: I think it is the answer to the league's issues

468
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 7: with player health and and you know, participation.

469
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: I do not.

470
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 7: I think it's the way they train when they're not playing,

471
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 7: because if you think about it's toue right, like why

472
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 7: would training be the same, But then the game is different.

473
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 7: You're supposed to train the way you play and play,

474
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 7: and if you're not practicing, then things that come up

475
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 7: in games, your body's not going to get used to,

476
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 7: more injuries are going to happen. It seems pretty cut

477
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 7: and dry, like you can't say that we can't practice

478
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 7: at this speed.

479
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 8: Of course you can you play at this speed.

480
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: So is he saying no to what Steve Gerr is suggesting,

481
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: And he is saying no, keep it at eighty two

482
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: and practice harder.

483
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 8: And when I did hear Stam say this.

484
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 7: It sounded kind of you know, pat riley ish you

485
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 7: have to do, but it is the case. Bigger, faster,

486
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 7: stronger creates more demands on your body, and it's not

487
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 7: impossible demands.

488
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 8: They're just not.

489
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 7: You just have to train for it, have to prepare

490
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 7: for it a little bit better because you're not You

491
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 7: can just get that out the window. Like Steve, They're

492
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 7: never going to shorten the amount of games. It's just

493
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 7: not going to happen. There's always going to be other

494
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 7: people that'll give you an entirely different case, just like

495
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 7: I am to say now now, we don't need to

496
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 7: give up that money.

497
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: I think the public in general just thinks, hey, you're

498
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to play eighty two basketball

499
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: games per year. They don't factor in the travel, they

500
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: don't factor in the pace of play. I'm not certain

501
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: they should factor those things in. They are sitting on

502
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: their couches and they're like, hey, five days a week,

503
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: I gotta go to work. Sometimes I work two jobs.

504
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes I work on the weekends. You guys are getting

505
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: paid fifteen twenty twenty five fifty million dollars go play

506
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: eighty two basketball games a year. I don't care if

507
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: your body hurts.

508
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 7: But then there are still the people who will sort

509
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 7: of side with the players and say no, like I

510
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 7: get it because I'm watching the game and it's way

511
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 7: faster than it was before. And there are way more guys,

512
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 7: you know, with their eyes at the rim and a

513
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 7: lot more physicality. You've got like guys like Bam out

514
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: of Bayo who will just absolutely maul you in the paint.

515
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 7: But still you got to chase them out there because

516
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 7: he's going to take a three as well. Like it's

517
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 7: impossible to do that and say, Okay, everything's like it

518
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 7: was in the past.

519
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 8: It just wasn't, so you again have to prepare yourself

520
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 8: for it. And you know, they keep adding, this isn't.

521
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 7: People don't talk about this part, right, Stu, How long

522
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 7: ago was it when there were far less games in

523
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 7: the playoffs? Right, you didn't have the seven game stories

524
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 7: every single time. Yes, playoffs are much longer now, Yeah,

525
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 7: and they're more spread, and so yeah, you just got

526
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 7: to You're gonna have to deal and you're gonna have

527
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 7: to prepare your body, and you're gonna these players who

528
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 7: probably have the sympathy of people who have no idea

529
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 7: what it's like to be a professional athlete, are going

530
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 7: to have to admit that, Yeah, we could try a

531
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 7: little harder.

532
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: Just from a fan standpoint, you know, the physicality, the

533
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: the staying in shape, the practice, how you play, all

534
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: that stuff sounds good. But I would like a shorter

535
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: season because the way you create stakes, the way you

536
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: create urgency, is by not playing eighty two games. Give

537
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: me a fifty game sprint. I'm good with that. Same

538
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: with baseball. By the way, you know, you lose me

539
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: game ninety four of the regular we're playing ninety four

540
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: bleep in regular season baseball games. Give me one hundreds

541
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: and let's call it a day and get to the playoffs.

542
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: I just want more stakes, and I want urgency, and

543
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: I want this stuff the regular season in these leagues

544
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: to feel the way the NFL feels during the regular season,

545
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: the way college football feels during the regular season, where

546
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: every week feels like it's a playoff week.

547
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 7: The best case for shortening the season is not going

548
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 7: to be player injuries, because they'll, you know, they'll do

549
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 7: what I just did. They'll give you science and they'll

550
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 7: give you a bunch of reasons as to why the players'

551
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 7: bodies can handle it.

552
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 8: The best reason for it.

553
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 7: Is to say the product will be better if you

554
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 7: cut out let's just say twelve games, fifteen, sixteen games,

555
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 7: and then introduce what is that, maybe twenty to thirty

556
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 7: more practice days.

557
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 8: It's going to look better when.

558
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 7: They actually do play in theory, right, And so if

559
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 7: you say to the NBA, hey, the problem is people

560
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 7: aren't tuning in and you want people to tune in.

561
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 7: How do you get them to tune in? A. You

562
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 7: know their best player is going to play number one,

563
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 7: but B when they do, it's going to look amazing.

564
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 7: It's going to look like, you know, some of the

565
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 7: best basketball you've ever seen. It's a bubble basketball, if

566
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 7: you will. And so I think that's the best case

567
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 7: that they would have. But it's a lot of pressure

568
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 7: then on these teams to then perform if they do

569
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 7: shorten the amount of game busy.

570
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: We're we're at about sixty two games right now. We

571
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: know the teams that are good, we know the teams

572
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: that are contenders. I don't need another twenty games to

573
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: spell out that san Antonio is really really good and

574
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: as a shot at winning it, especially in the.

575
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 7: NBA where you've got teams that announce from the very beginning,

576
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 7: like after ten games, it's all right, shut it down

577
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 7: tenk time, you know, So it usually works out where

578
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 7: you can tell, all right, these are the six teams

579
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 7: that are definitely going to be on the top. These

580
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 7: are the four teams or five teams that are fighting

581
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 7: for playoff or play in.

582
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 8: And then everybody else is just out of it.

583
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 7: And so unless they change that, yeah, you're right, you

584
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 7: can get to a point in January and you're like, yeah,

585
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 7: I know who the playoff teams are.

586
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: I will get to Kelly in North Carolina in a second.

587
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: I used Taylor, board Out, Ricardo, Mikey as a gauge

588
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: for the audience and you know, just in terms of

589
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: their int and if they're shaking their heads, if they're

590
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: into the conversation.

591
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: But I have lost them. I have lost Bordot, Ricardo,

592
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 3: I have lost Taylor. I have no idea what's going on.

593
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: Breaking news from Fox Sports Stu.

594
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 4: The ACCED Tournament is underway. Fifteen seed Pittsburgh is moving

595
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 4: on beating Stanford. Abuco Corey gave Stanford a one point

596
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: lead with twenty four seconds left. Chaotic lass possession for

597
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: pitt The Marco Minor missed the floater with a second left,

598
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 4: followed as miss and five and thirteen. Pitt is moving

599
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 4: on to the second day of.

600
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: The ACC Tournamentill, that's what's going on.

601
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 7: I thought it was a great conversation, Fundy.

602
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 8: We talked about the future of the NBA.

603
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yes, yeah, but Taylor didn't say a word. Yeah,

604
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: go ahead.

605
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 5: Is that you know I'm not the NBA guy. But

606
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: that was far more interesting than whatever Taylor is.

607
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 6: Thank you.

608
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 8: Well.

609
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: Now I got a side with Taylor because this is

610
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: what March is all about, even though he wasn't listening

611
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: and doing a.

612
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: Job I do.

613
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Sound'm so proud of you. I do side with Taylor.

614
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: He is glued to a game. This is what March

615
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: is whole about. Stanford was a bubble team and now

616
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: the rout of the tournament and pitt is three games away,

617
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: three wins, I think away from punching a ticket to

618
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: the March madness.

619
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 8: How about that?

620
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 4: And in twenty minutes we have Syracuse and SMU tipping off.

621
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: Next. Oh that's a big one.

622
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 8: Classic ACC Stanford and SMU.

623
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, classic.

624
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 7: I'm instigued by what Kelly in North Carolina wants to

625
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 7: talk about here too.

626
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: By the way, let's take the call here, Kelly. Go ahead.

627
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: You're on Fox Sports Radio.

628
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 11: See with all the NFL news that Magic City Night

629
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 11: was canceled.

630
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they snuck it in. You notice that. Huh? Yes, yeah,

631
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: you seem upset about it.

632
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 11: I'm not upset. I don't like basketball, but I figured

633
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 11: it was something Iusy would be interested in when everyone

634
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 11: was talking about That's.

635
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about. You know what calls for yes

636
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: because no, no, no.

637
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: This is a good way because we don't talk about

638
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: any of the things even though I'm trying today that

639
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: Israel wants to talk about. And so the callers calling

640
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: in and asking Israel questions about things that he might.

641
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 3: Be interested in is a great way of doing it.

642
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 3: Like Taylor, you have the love call in producers.

643
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 8: Hey, is he take this?

644
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: Go?

645
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

646
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 8: I think thank you, Kelly.

647
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 7: Once again, I think it is funny that they canceled

648
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 7: the Magic City Night. Adam Silver talked about it, you know,

649
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 7: referenced sponsors a lot, which goes.

650
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 8: To show you that you know people who pay for.

651
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 7: You know, their products to be on the court or

652
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 7: anywhere with the Atlanta Hawks. Probably don't want to be

653
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 7: affiliated with strip club night. And again, I'm not gonna

654
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 7: go as far as even somebody like Luke Cornett who

655
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 7: says it's disrespectful to women.

656
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 3: I believe.

657
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 7: I choose to believe that everybody participating or working there

658
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 7: is working on their own right. They choose to work there,

659
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 7: and they're doing their job, and it's all great. It

660
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 7: has nothing to do with the actual people working there.

661
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 7: It has to do with what their product is to,

662
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 7: you know, younger children and family members who maybe don't

663
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 7: want to not necessarily even see it, just think about it.

664
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 7: I don't want to have to explain to my kid, Oh,

665
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 7: it's a strip club that women dance over there, blah

666
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 7: blah blah blah blah. It's different than a Pride night,

667
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 7: entirely different than a Pride night, because what you're explaining

668
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 7: is that they're a different group of people that are alive.

669
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 7: That's entirely different than what people do for work. And so, yeah,

670
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 7: I think it was the right move to get rid

671
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 7: of it, to sort of cancel it. The Hawks can

672
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 7: say it was going to be family friendly all you want,

673
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 7: but at the heart of it, it's still a strip

674
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 7: club night. And so Yeah, it's probably not great for

675
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 7: the kids to be around that.

676
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 4: So we're taking gambling money, we're taking alcohol money. But

677
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: where we draw the line, no strip clubs.

678
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 7: It seems absurd. You're seriously saying that that's the same thing.

679
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 7: You're saying that we as a civilization, as a community,

680
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 7: have put alcohol and strippers on the same plane, Like

681
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 7: we've normalized alcohol all the time. Obviously, but they're not

682
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 7: or partially naked people dancing while I'm drinking.

683
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're honoring an institution inside of the city

684
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: of it last.

685
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 7: Yet an institution for adults only, and really institution the

686
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 7: kids aren't allowed it.

687
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: I mean kids can't gamble either, and they can't drink.

688
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 7: I mean, okay, and it's probably something you can have

689
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 7: a more reasonable conversation with with your kid who probably

690
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 7: doesn't even have money to gamble.

691
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 6: Right.

692
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: The strip club is a hard one to explain away.

693
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: At the basketball game, I thought this was a chicken

694
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 5: wing establishment.

695
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: And that's it. You're like, oh, what's the problem.

696
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 7: Like I said, when it happened, I wasn't outraged by it.

697
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 7: I said, hey, you can't complain about other stuff if

698
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 7: this is what you're doing. That's all I'm saying, don't

699
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 7: complain about other stuff if you're doing this. So I

700
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 7: wasn't outraged by it, nor am I saying it's the

701
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 7: greatest thing in the world.

702
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 8: It was pretty obvious that they had.

703
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 6: To do this.

704
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: No, I understand what you're saying about the parents and

705
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: trying to explain.

706
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: It to the kids.

707
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: They go to a basketball game and a strip club

708
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: breaks out, But how do you explain to your kid

709
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: that you're putting an in game barlight it. I almost

710
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: Curt's there, but it game parlay on your phone.

711
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 7: Dad's trying to make some more money for you so

712
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 7: I can get you new sneakers easy easy, and.

713
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: If it loses, Christmas is canceled.

714
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 7: Let's figure out how much Dad is betting if we

715
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 7: want to ask that question. But if it's just a

716
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 7: few bucks, as it's just a little fun and game.

717
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: Song, Listen, I'm putting a mortgage bed in right now.

718
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 8: I don't know if mom knows about that. Let's ask her.

719
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 6: If we don't win it, I might need an application.

720
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: We don't win it, we're getting evicted. Let's go hawks.

00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 9: Okay, Well, I appreciate It's nice to be your neighbor

752
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 9: here in South Florida.

753
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Yes, we will get together play golf. I can't wait

754
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: for the wedding. This is exciting, very exciting time for

755
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: me and my tad in math.

756
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 9: Well, just curious. I'm not sticking for what's the venue?

757
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 9: Where is it going to happen?

758
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, that's up to that's up to Rachel

759
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: and your son. Right, I'm certain if I leave it

760
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: to my daughter, the most expensive venue imaginable?

761
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah, my daughter subscribes to the same theory, not

762
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 9: salary cap friendly.

763
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 3: She always comes in over the cap.

764
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 9: Consistently for twenty two years.

765
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: Mike, I wanted to ask you, this is great. I

766
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: cannot believe my daughter is married. Mike tannemboth Son. This

767
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: is so exciting.

768
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 6: But any they want to or not?

769
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: The most expensive place in South Florida Jesus Christ, I'm doomed.

770
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, Mike, I wanted to ask you if you

771
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: could just take listeners inside as a former general manager,

772
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: kind of inside the preparation and what goes into getting

773
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: ready for the free agency period.

774
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 9: Yes, you got great to be with you. And you know,

775
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 9: we always say like our plan is firmly etched and

776
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 9: pencil and we could just zero in quickly. Let's say,

777
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 9: on the Kansas City Chiefs. If we were having this

778
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 9: conversation a month ago, I think a lot of people

779
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 9: would say, like, oh, they're going to draft Jeremiah Love

780
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 9: running back down of Nerodaine. They're desperate for running back

781
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 9: and Kareem Hunt and Pachecco or free agents. You get

782
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 9: to the combine and he has an incredible workout and

783
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 9: you're sitting there saying, well, there's no way he'll be

784
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 9: there at nine, and then you pivot quickly and you

785
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 9: sign Kenneth Walker, knowing that maybe with the ninth pick

786
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 9: you're going to take the corner. Like so, you're just

787
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 9: constantly reacting to information that comes to you in all

788
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 9: different you know, shapes and sizes, and it's sort of

789
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 9: the juxtaposition of like the veteran market and the you know,

790
00:33:59,040 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 9: the draft.

791
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: How often when you were doing this, how often did.

792
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: Your plan get blown up just because you know, you

793
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: had a different evaluation someone became available you weren't expecting.

794
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: How often does that happen?

795
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, all the time, and sometimes too it was like

796
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 9: the walkway price of like what you felt was reasonable, Like,

797
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 9: you know, we're sitting here on you know, Tuesday afternoon

798
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 9: and someone like Trey Hendrickson isn't signed yet. You know,

799
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 9: that's that's a surprise. So you know, you see other

800
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 9: guys go quickly, you know, like we've seen you know,

801
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 9: a dote oh way, We've seen Danelle Hunter re sign.

802
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 9: We saw Jalen Philips go unexpected leave from Philadelphia to Carolina.

803
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 9: So again, you're just constantly reacting to the market at

804
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 9: all positions.

805
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 5: How often are you getting numbers from agents where you

806
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 5: almost want to laugh and be like, come on, man,

807
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 5: let's let's be real here.

808
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 9: Yeah. You know what's really funny about that is I'd

809
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 9: never met an agent in over twenty years of doing

810
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 9: this that when I met him at the combine, they

811
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 9: didn't say something along the lines of, you know, the

812
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 9: market is unexpectedly robust for us.

813
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 3: That's Rosenhouse, right, I mean all the time?

814
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 9: Well yeah, yeah, and I love Drew. He had deals

815
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 9: done with him. But you know, surprisingly their market was

816
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 9: better than they.

817
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: Expected doing his job though. Which team here?

818
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of days, Mike, and your opinion

819
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: has improved the most.

820
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 9: You know, like speaking of overpaying, I really like what

821
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 9: the Raiders did with Linderbaum. And here's why, Like, presumptively

822
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 9: they're going to take Fernandra Mendoza quarterback Indiana with the

823
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 9: first pick overall, and they give up more sacks guys

824
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 9: than anybody last year in football, and more times quarterbacks

825
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 9: are ruined before they get a chance to develop. And

826
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 9: to me, like, you have to start up front with

827
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 9: the center, who ironically is the quarterback of the offensive

828
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 9: line with a new head coach. So even though they

829
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 9: paid a big premium, I think it was worth it.

830
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: Mike.

831
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 4: What do you think about the Jets training for Gino Smith?

832
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 9: I like it. I think what they have to be doing,

833
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 9: guys is scouring, and what I mean by that is,

834
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 9: don't stop at Gino Smith. You know, see where you are.

835
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 9: Maybe Pike Simpson comes into play with the second first

836
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 9: round pick that they have. You just got to keep

837
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 9: going until you hit on one. And you know, I

838
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 9: can't imagine that high Rod Taylor nor Justin Fields will

839
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 9: be back. So I think Gino Smith is a good

840
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 9: start that I would keep going.

841
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 6: Mike.

842
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 5: No, no player or coach has ever tried to tank.

843
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 5: But at some point you have to look at what

844
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 5: an organization is doing and think, Okay, they're looking ahead,

845
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 5: they're looking to the next year's draft. How do you

846
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 5: sort of balance that as an executive with we want

847
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 5: to win now, we want to put a good product

848
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 5: on the field, but we also know that our future

849
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 5: isn't here.

850
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was always a hard one for me. You know,

851
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 9: I got it to sports because I'm very competitive. I'm

852
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 9: going to win at everything, and I know logic sometimes

853
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 9: tells otherwise. And I think if we were having this

854
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 9: conversation guy halfway through the season, there could be a

855
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 9: race to the bottom because of Dante More and archbanding

856
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 9: all these great quarterbacks from me out next year. But

857
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 9: that's a hard thing to do when you're walking in

858
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 9: every day with a bunch of people that are innately

859
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 9: very competitive.

860
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 4: Mike, on the topic of the draft, the Chiefs and

861
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 4: the Saints, who are picking at eight and nine, both

862
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 4: went out and signed running backs yesterday. Do you think

863
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 4: any of that could have to do with Jeremiah Love

864
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 4: and maybe they have a hint that he's going to

865
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 4: go before they're picking.

866
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 9: Yeah. Absolutely, I think Jeremiah Love, arguably he's the best

867
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 9: football player in this year's draft. And whether it's still

868
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 9: if you're kind of see at four Arizona at three,

869
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 9: I don't think that was a coincidence, coincidence by any

870
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 9: stretching When you think about Travis Ettiens from Louisiana, that

871
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 9: makes a lot of sense. And now we're going to

872
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 9: see Kenneth Walker with the Chiefs, which I think is

873
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 9: really exciting.

874
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: Mike, would you take a running back in the first round?

875
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: I get the value. I get he's the best player

876
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: in the draft, but that position still and I know

877
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: we've made strides here the running back is coming back,

878
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: but it still feels interchangeable when you consider that the

879
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP is now playing for another team.

880
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's interesting. Look, I think I like what they

881
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 9: did because you know now that you lost McDuffie, Jalen

882
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 9: Watson and then Josh Blooms they're probably gonna have to

883
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 9: draft monsor Delane Corner from LSU. He'll be the first corner.

884
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 9: So I think I would take a running back. To

885
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 9: answer your question back, do you like how the chief

886
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 9: said it? Just given what they have to deal with

887
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 9: relative to all the holes they have to fill.

888
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: What's the ceiling? In your opinion on Mendoza.

889
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 9: I think he's Matt Ryan. I think he's Paul accurate,

890
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 9: good not great athlete, good armstrength, not great arm strength.

891
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 9: But look, you know, the Falcons for the better part

892
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 9: of a decade drove to the stadium every week with

893
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 9: the chance won because you know, Matt Ryan was their quarterback.

894
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: Is there a signing here, a reported signing that made

895
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: you kind of scratch your head and go, what the

896
00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: hell is this team doing?

897
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 9: Good? Question? Look, I'm surprised how much these punters are gains.

898
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 9: It's really stunning and how quickly they went. I'm not

899
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 9: really quite sure why. You know, given the dynamic kickoff.

900
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 9: You know, you make two first downs and you know

901
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 9: punting has become you know, obviously it's still important, but

902
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 9: me not as important. I would think all the punters

903
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 9: getting signed and traction has been a surprise, Mike.

904
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 5: The reports are that teams are calling the forty nine

905
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 5: ers about Mac Jones and they're being turned away because

906
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 5: the price is quote astronomical. What do you do with

907
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 5: an asset like Mac Jones where you know your goal

908
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 5: is not to use him, but at the same time

909
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 5: you don't want to just give him away.

910
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what I'm doing, I'm extending him. And

911
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 9: here here's why. It's you know, kind of like you

912
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 9: know the whole you know saying as it relates to

913
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 9: life insurance, right, you hope you never need it. But

914
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 9: with back Jones like Brock Perry is a good quarterback, guys,

915
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 9: but he has height and athletic limitations as it relates

916
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 9: to being a starting NFL quarterback. And Mac Jones like,

917
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 9: if you look at the difference between Mac and Daniel Jones,

918
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones signed a one year deal and now is

919
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 9: going to be rewarded significantly either on the transition tag

920
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 9: or you know, on a long term deal. The forty

921
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 9: nine Ers smartly signed Mac Jones to a two year deal,

922
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 9: and what I would be talking to him about is like, hey,

923
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 9: let's say you need a three year extension once you hit

924
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 9: one hundred percent of a double. You'll make whatever it is,

925
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 9: ten twelve million dollars a year, and you may play

926
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 9: a lot, you may not play at all. But this way,

927
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 9: like you know you're going to be here, start raising

928
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 9: a family here. And if I'm in the forty nine ers,

929
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 9: I think of it as pretty slash mac Jones because

930
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 9: I think that you know, brock Perry is going to

931
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,479
Speaker 9: start seventeen games back to back years and year over year.

932
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 9: I think that's a heavy lift to it to the Falcons.

933
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 3: Mike, Is that a good fit for Tua?

934
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 9: I think yeah, on a one year deal. You know

935
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 9: the expression you had me out of a low like

936
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 9: at a gam you have me at one point three

937
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 9: million dollars, so you know, like it all begins with

938
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 9: one point three million. Like I think it's a win win.

939
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 9: I think for two to be successful, he needs two things.

940
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 9: He needs a strong offensive line where Atlanta gave up

941
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 9: the fourth few of stacks last year, so that's good.

942
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 9: And arguably they have the best running back in football

943
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 9: in Viijon Robinson. So if I'm Tua, that's a great.

944
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 9: If I'm Atlanta, you know, it's not unlike the conversation

945
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 9: we just had about the forty nine ers, which is

946
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 9: you could stack up you know, Tuh and Michael Pennocks,

947
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 9: two injury thrown ironically left handers, and hopefully you can

948
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 9: get seventeen games, you know, between the two of them.

949
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: We talked to Chris Simms about this all the time.

950
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: It outrages him, and I'm wondering if you sent some

951
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: sort of change with how we're going to slot these quarterbacks,

952
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: and meaning the two of contract was such a bad contract.

953
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: It turned out to be maybe the worst contract in

954
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL, but his time was up

955
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins needed to sign him to a deal.

956
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: Do you think we're going to stop seeing that NFL

957
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: teams doing that the next guy up gets the most money.

958
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

959
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 9: Well, it's interesting, Like quarterbacks is a complicated conversation because

960
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 9: I can see why people are going to criticize, you know,

961
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 9: Miami for the extension. But the inverse of that is

962
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 9: if we were running a football team, guys, and we

963
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 9: didn't have a quarterback, we would have no chance. So

964
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 9: the irrationality could be somewhat justified from a standpoint of

965
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 9: if you don't have one, then you think you do

966
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 9: like get them locked up typically over time makes more

967
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 9: sense than not.

968
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 4: Mike Werry, South Florida Show, what do you think about

969
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: the Dolphins becoming the Packers of the South down here

970
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 4: with John Eric Sullivan and Lafleur and not Lafleur, but

971
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 4: Malik Willis too.

972
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he met the head coach. You forgot his day

973
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 3: and that's what happened there.

974
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 9: Mike, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeff Naffley who's from New Jersey

975
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 9: via you know, Wisconsin now down here in South Florida.

976
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 9: I think they're gonna do great. I think let them

977
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 9: have time, let them do it the right way long term.

978
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 9: You know, it's interesting when you cut to you're sort

979
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 9: of like in a rebuild. The fact that they signed

980
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 9: Malik Willis kind of singles like, well, hey, we're gonna

981
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 9: try to be a little bit more competitive, you know,

982
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 9: sooner than later. So I believe in both those guys.

983
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 9: I know them within the industry. They're well thought of,

984
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 9: they're smart, and I think they have a chance to

985
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 9: do well. It's not gonna happen overnight. When you move

986
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 9: on from Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill and alec Ingold

987
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 9: and Tua, Like, you don't replace everybody you know overnight.

988
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: That was a bad mistake by Taylor, Mike, but you

989
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: have to give them credit. He remember the GM's name

990
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: and not the head coach. I mean that has you

991
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: like that?

992
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 3: Right? As a former GM you love that right?

993
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 9: Yeah? Yeah, Look, you got to you gotta do what

994
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 9: is in your best interest. Every situation is gonna be different,

995
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 9: but yeah, you you sometimes you have to take.

996
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 5: The long view on deals, Mike, Travis Kelsey is coming

997
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 5: back to the Chiefs on a one year deal. How

998
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 5: do you sort of navigate with a player of that

999
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 5: stature in that era and that you know, with that

1000
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 5: organization who's been there for so long and we know

1001
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 5: he's at the end and you kind of want him

1002
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 5: to go out on his terms, but at the same

1003
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 5: time kind of want him to go out.

1004
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 9: Yeah. Well I've said that. You know, I'm not doing

1005
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 9: really well with the Taylor Swift fan club here. But

1006
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 9: when you're a GM, guys, you have to pay a

1007
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 9: player for what they're going to do, not what they've done.

1008
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 9: And Travis Kelsey, to me, I would have moved on

1009
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 9: like Trev McDuffie, in my opinion, was their second best player,

1010
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 9: and when they traded him. I'm like, oh, okay, maybe

1011
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 9: they're like in this many rebuild, Patrick's not can be

1012
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 9: one hundred percent this year. Let's get four picks for

1013
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 9: a good player and take our medicine and you know,

1014
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 9: gear up for twenty twenty seven. So I would not

1015
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 9: have signed Kelsey. I think he's a Hall of Famer,

1016
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 9: a great player, but you get worried that again, you're

1017
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 9: paying for you know, what he did, not what he's

1018
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 9: going to do.

1019
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 3: Mike. We appreciate the time checking out.

1020
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: He'll be all over ESPN tomorrow with free agency news updates,

1021
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: his thoughts and opinions.

1022
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: He is great. I appreciate it, Mike. And I'll see

1023
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 3: you at the wedding.

1024
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, thanks so much. Let me know what it

1025
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 9: is and looking forward to the invite.

1026
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: All right, well, I mean, of course you're invited at

1027
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: your kid's wedding. I'm thinking fifty to fifty huh, what

1028
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: do you think?

1029
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 3: Good?

1030
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 9: Well, we could talk. There may have to be some

1031
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 9: other you know, ancillary paperwork that goes along with that,

1032
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 9: but yeah, everything's negotiable a little bit like free agency.

1033
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 3: Stu got future draft pick.

1034
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 6: I mean, what do you think a grandson to be

1035
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 6: named later.

1036
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: At least they're taking it. At least, listen. At least

1037
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: she gets to take your last name and up mind,

1038
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: which is Weiener. So that's a positive.

1039
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 9: Hey, as, don't you pay for the wedding? Everything? Should?

1040
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 9: We should?

1041
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: We'll take it from there, all right, fifty to fifty

1042
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 3: we'll talk. Thank you, Mike. I appreciate it. I know

1043
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 3: it's a busy time for you. Thank you for doing

1044
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 3: this

1045
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 9: All right, Thanks, guys, appreciate it.
