1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Oh, and I like an NFL veteran when NFL free

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: agency is just about to begin. But of course it's

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: kind of already started, because uh, this thing is.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: Like a cup with a hole in it, Man, it leaks.

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: And so we've been getting all kinds of information already

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: over the last week or so.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna dive into that.

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: Adam Silver speaks on Tanking World, Baseball Classic Underway, and

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: a whole lot more.

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm not a car guy. I'll tell you about.

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: The analogy I'm about to make or why I'm saying

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: that in just a second. But the show doesn't start

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: until I'll say good evening to my man from Salam.

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: How are we doing tonight?

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: I'm good.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

19
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know where everybody is where they're listening,

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: but you and I are both in California and it's summer.

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: I don't care what your calendar says.

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: It's still light outside because the clock's changed and it's

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: seventy or eighty or whatever the hell it is wherever

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: you are, and it's summer, so happy summer.

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's beautiful, crazy yeah right, yeah, beautiful who in

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 4: the summer.

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know, why the hell not? Maybe that's

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: why it costs so much to live here. But anyway,

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm not a car guy. And here's here's kind of

30
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: why I look at for example, Max Crosby, like a

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Italian sports car or something like that.

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 3: I get it, I really do.

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: If that's your thing, then that's your thing, and all

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: of us, whatever sort of disposable income we have, you

35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: get to put that in the spot where you want.

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: For me, it's kind of vacations. For others, maybe it's

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: it's cars, and then it feels wasteful to somebody else.

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: But here here's kind of what I'm getting at. I like,

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: to me the reason I'm not a car guy. I

40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: drive a Hyundai Tucson and I love it. Like it

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: gets me from point A to point B. To me,

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: it feels comfortable inside. That's that's wonderful. If you get

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: like the Italian or the German or the whatever's going

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: on with your car, it feels really good to uh

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: to drive it around and get your places.

46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: And then.

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: Then you need new parts or you need service. And

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: I've I've experienced this before, and I'm like, oh, oh,

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: my god, that that that's not worth it. I'm not

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: here to say, because he hasn't played a game with

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: the Ravens yet, that Max Crosby is not worth it.

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: I just know historically, when you grab the veteran for

53
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: multiple first round draft picks, usually you regret it. Usually

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: you regret it. That's just that's the facts of deals

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: like this. So I'm cure he's had some injury issues,

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: He's never really played for a big time team. I'm

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: happy for him. I'm glad that he's going to have

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: a good quarterback and a chance to win football games

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: next year. And I do think right now it makes

60
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: the Ravens better. But us expensive.

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: That was expensive, Yeah, but I think I think it

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: was worth it. I think both teams made out great. Okay,

63
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Raiders acquiring two more first round draft picks to build

64
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: a team that needs to be rebuilt completely. I think

65
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 4: that they win that they just need more talent and

66
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: having an all world It's similar to the Browns right now.

67
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: What would you give up for good Miles Garrett?

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett, you.

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: Know someone who can can really come in and immediately

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: change how your defensive front seven plays is?

71
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: Is Miles Garrett better than Max Crosby. I think he is.

72
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: I think he is, but not by a mile, not

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: by much. Max Crosby is a game changer. He has

74
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: been since he stepped foot in the league, and he's

75
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: just been stuck in mud. Miles Garrett is stuck in mud.

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: And now you know, you get to really see Max

77
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: Crosby and in Baltimore with the other all pros that

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: are there, he becomes a different player. He was a

79
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: great player doing everything. Now he becomes a complementary piece

80
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: or a building block with complimentary pieces around him. And

81
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson at quarterback if he comes back healthy on offense,

82
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: and so now you have a Baltimore is looking like, yeah, okay,

83
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: sure we have our quarterback, right, we have our running back,

84
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: we have receivers and tight ends, we have all pros

85
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: in our secondary. We sharpen up and retool our front

86
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: seven with someone like Max Crosby. Yeah, so those first

87
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: round draft picks you would have been using to do

88
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: any of that, you get a plug and play player.

89
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: That's the way I saw it.

90
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: I hear you, and like, I'll tell you one thing

91
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: that did catch my attention. Did you see the whole uh,

92
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: did you see the whole Jamar Chase thing, the Jamar

93
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: Chase reaction to Max Crosby going.

94
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: To the Ravens.

95
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 4: What he say did.

96
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: So?

97
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is playing video games on a live stream

98
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: when apparently this all went down, and his phone give

99
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: a little visits and he got a text from a

100
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: guy named Joe happened to be Joe Burrow. Guy named Joe,

101
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: and the text from Joe apparently told Jamar that Max

102
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: Crosby is now on the Baltimore Ravens, a division rival

103
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: heard on the live stream, and I quote, Joe just

104
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: bleeping texted me Ravens traded for Max Crosby. No bleeping bleep,

105
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: No bleeping bleep brother, I'm bleeping highly pissed right now.

106
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how do we this bleep go to

107
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: the bleep in division?

108
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: Bro? Oh my god?

109
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: Now, this to me, this may sound so stupid, but that,

110
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: to me is the most convincing analysis that I have

111
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: heard from anybody about the Max cross betrayed. And the

112
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: reason is not because it's from a big name player.

113
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: It's because of the jersey that player wears. You and

114
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: I have had so many conversations about the Cincinnati Bengals

115
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: and how kind of woefully constructed they are, at least

116
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: in my opinion. Yeah, and Jamar is amazing. I think

117
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: Jamar's worth tons, but he is, along with t Higgins,

118
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: for me, is the financial example of why the Bengals

119
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: are so disappointing. With a great quarterback and a great receiver,

120
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: and then another great receiver, Trey Hendrickson's about to go

121
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: play for someone else next year, and that doesn't make

122
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 2: any sense to me. The Bengals will not put attention

123
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: on either of their lines, and you can't win that way.

124
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: And it gets proven every year with the Bengals, and

125
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: they keep doing it over and over again. And so

126
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: when I hear that reaction, that's what it says to me.

127
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: It says to me that I'm a great player, and

128
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: I'm in this division and I'm watching TJ. Watt on

129
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: one team, Miles Garrett on another, and Max Crosby on

130
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: a third, and Trey Hendrickson's leaving.

131
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: My team is stupid. That's what that said to me.

132
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they did with Joe ass Joe asked him

133
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: to pay the receivers, so they did that. They Yes, yeah,

134
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: he did years ago.

135
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: He said we need to pay t Higgins. I think, guys,

136
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: that's what he said. I know, but publicly, guys say

137
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: that about teammates.

138
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what I'm saying is that's Joe Burrow. They said, Okay,

139
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: then he tried to come out last year and say

140
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: we need to pay Tray and they did a little something.

141
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: But all right, worst defense in the division by a mile,

142
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: by a mile, worst offensive line in the division by

143
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: a mile. Yeah, you can brant and get mad and

144
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: cuss as other teams are are are are preparing and

145
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: getting themselves better. The fact that the Bengals still have

146
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: a head coach and they didn't get into the head

147
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: coaching market baffles me. But that's what they do. They

148
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: hung going to Marvel Lewis forever ever.

149
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: M hm, No, it was.

150
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: It was very interesting going into and I think it

151
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: was Lee was with us producing the show this week

152
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: at the very very end of the regular season, and

153
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: he was like, man, because you and I were talking

154
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: about about Zach Taylor, and he's like, you know what,

155
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 2: there's a there is a scenario out there where he's

156
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: actually the only coach in the division who.

157
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: Keeps his job. And I sort of like Oh yeah.

158
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: I mean, sure, I see what you're saying, but I

159
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: highly doubt that he was right.

160
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: He was like.

161
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: That's the other thing that sort of sets the Bengals apart.

162
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: They're the only one in the division who kept their

163
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: coach after.

164
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 4: This Year's the definition of insanity.

165
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, doing the same thing and expecting a different result. So,

166
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: I look, I think Max is a great player. I

167
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: think that if you're going to spend a lot, whether

168
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: it's finances, whether it's draft capital, I think they're doing

169
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: it in the right spot. Edge rusher, to me, along

170
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: with quarterback and left tackle, those are your three most

171
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: foundational spots on a football team in my opinion. So

172
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't say what I said to say that this

173
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: was a bad deal for the Ravens. I don't think that.

174
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: I just know that traditionally you regret it when you

175
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: give up multiple years of first round draft capital.

176
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 4: Well, I'll say it like this, they're I mean, if

177
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: they're in renegotiating Lamar Jackson's contract, are giving them an

178
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: extension along the lines of what they say they are

179
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: or what Lamar wants, And you know they're there that

180
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: you need a Max Crosby because you're not gonna be

181
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: able to get anybody else right, So it's a push

182
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: the Chips into the center of the table. They are

183
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: a better team with Max Crosby on it. Can they

184
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: regain their their offensive prowess that they've had in years

185
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: past with the healthy Lamar Derrick Henry still going likely

186
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: right that weapons on the outside in a division where

187
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 4: you know, we don't know what the Steelers are gonna be, no,

188
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: no idea. We know what the Bengals are gonna be,

189
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: so and we know what the Browns are gonna get.

190
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: I mean, so you're you're like, I'm Baltimore is looking

191
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 4: at it like, oh we can, we can do it now,

192
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 4: we can.

193
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 2: Go now as they should, right, I mean, I guess

194
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: the question to be asked is, if you have a

195
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: superstar quarterback, what is the correct way to support that quarterback?

196
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: And there are a lot of teams, especially in recent

197
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: years Bengals, Cowboys, They've decided the way to do that

198
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: is to give that quarterback a really, really good set

199
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: of receivers, and boy is it great for fantasy football.

200
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: It's incredible Jamar, Chase T. Higgins, George Pickens and Ceedee Lamb.

201
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: It's absolutely like Sunday or Gasvik for people with phones.

202
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: It just doesn't win football games. So I will give

203
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: the Ravens credit there. I don't think people draw a

204
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: straight line from pass rusher to quarterback, but they should,

205
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: like this is the better way to support a superstar quarterback.

206
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: I do agree with y'all.

207
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: You know why, because giving that quarterback more possessions, more,

208
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: you know, shots at the end zone, that's what it's about,

209
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: and that means getting off the field three and out turnovers.

210
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: That's a dynamic, an elite quarterback's best friend. A stingy defense,

211
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: a hungry defense. So I'm look, I I I applaud

212
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: the move. This sounds I do because the Raiders have

213
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,359
Speaker 4: so many places that they need.

214
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: Help, almost all of them, almost all of them. That's

215
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: what's crazy about that football tape.

216
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: So you got the first pick in the draft, plus

217
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 4: you got two more first round draft picks. Yeah.

218
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: Well, and the more I think about it, I do

219
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: kind of to see your point, and in fact, from

220
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: the Raiders perspective. Another reason why I love the deal

221
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: I'll share with you here coming up next. We also

222
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,320

Speaker 2: kind of a primer because it all gets started tomorrow.

226

Speaker 2: earlier today. Search five Sports Radio and YouTube and subscribe

266
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: this one. This one caught my eye, something about the

267
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: Warriors developmental process being exposed because of the success of

268
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: Jonathan mingle with the Hawks, and you and I had

269
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: a quick talk about this last week, and I like

270
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 2: Jonathan Jonathan Is. Jonathan is a. He's a high flyer man,

271
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: and he's an interesting young prospect. But here, here's what's

272
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: funny about this. Okay, the Warriors gave up Kaminga for nothing, right,

273
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: Christaps porzingis damage goods.

274
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: He can't play.

275
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: Do you know how many games krisps Porzingis has played

276
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: in since becoming a Warrior?

277
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: Zero?

278
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: No, that's not true. Yes, the answer is two.

279
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.

280
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: Including one last night. Do you know how many Jonathan

281
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: Kminga has participated in with the Hawks since the trade?

282
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: Three?

283
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: That's correct. So just find the Fox.

284
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: Just find the facts and then you can come to

285
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: your opinion. But if you watch games on Twitter, you're

286
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: gonna get caught.

287
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: You're gonna get caught.

288
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: It fine, like limited minutes, you know, getting legs, getting wind,

289
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: what whatnot?

290
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: You know, you can box score, dive.

291
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: He's shot at very mediocre, but some good blocks, some

292
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: good rebounds. I don't know, you know, ten twelve points

293
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: kind of a performance in like fifteen minutes.

294
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: Okay, eh, are you feel about that?

295
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: Not great yet? Not great yet, but I don't.

296
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: I don't think Jonathan Kaminga has gone and proven anything

297
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: to be like egregious yet. Obviously those two sides weren't

298
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: getting along and so they moved on. And I don't

299
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: love the trade, but I neither one of them has

300
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: played very much basketball since then.

301
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: Neither one of them has played very much anyway.

302
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: That's me commenting away on Rob Parker's takes on YouTube.

303
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm just not on YouTube. I mean we will be,

304
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: but not yet. Anyway. Steve de Seger's going to be

305
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: along in a few minutes. Just to put a ball

306
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 2: on the Max Crosby conversation, I wanted to throw this

307
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: at another reason.

308
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 3: It's so smart.

309
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: I think for the Raiders to just compile as many

310
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: draft picks as possible is like a very keen awareness of.

311
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 3: Time and space.

312
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders, no matter what they do, are

313
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 2: by far and away the fourth best team in their

314
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: division right now and will be for a while. Like

315
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: Mendozo or whatever they do could be amazing, it's still

316
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: going to take at least a couple of years. Yeah,

317
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks, justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes, what are you gonna do?

318
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: So It really made sense all along for Max Crosby

319
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: to go. I thought they did a good job of

320
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: a smoke screen of like, no, we really want to

321
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: keep him.

322
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: Boy, This is a classic. If you love him, let

323
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 3: him go.

324
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: Max Crosby's career had no chance of ever ending up.

325
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: In the playoffs as long as he stayed in Vegas

326
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 3: at you know, as he approaches thirty.

327
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it this, I mean, this was this was about

328
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 4: to be a sad tale of well, it was about

329
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 4: to be Myles Garrett. Yeah, that's where you're trending toward.

330
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: I still don't get that one. I still don't get

331
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: that one. Why did he do that? I don't know, man.

332
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: It could have got the money anywhere anywhere. A man

333
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 3: in the line to pay him had to be around

334
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: the block.

335
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, Why did he do that? He

336
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: should have consulted Joe Thomas. Amen, he should have consulted

337
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 4: arguably one of the greatest offensive line to play in

338
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: that era, about just staying in Cleveland, well paid the

339
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: whole nine yards, unfulfilled to be that great and never

340
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to compete for a championship? Is it

341
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 4: worth it?

342
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: How old miles now old is he?

343
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: Is he older than Crosby? You're right, he's thirty thirty. Yeah, uh,

344
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: I am such a fan of his. I think he's

345
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: just such an amazing player. The man needs to slow

346
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: down in his car. But outside of that, I'm I'm

347
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: such a fan of Miles Garrett and so yeah, like

348
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: I'm no Cleveland Browns fan. It doesn't no skin off

349
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: my back, but I just yeah, you'd love to see

350
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: him play some meaningful games.

351
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: It'd be great to see him play into January.

352
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: Right, the sport you all played.

353
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: To me, it just it would wear me out that

354
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: it's so brutal to be doing that and sort of

355
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: knowing that it's kind of like all for not the

356
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: second you arrive. I mean, Shador, I don't know what

357
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: he's gonna be, but let's let's be real, dog, were

358
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 2: you gonna show up next year.

359
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 3: And do what?

360
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson

361
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: in your division?

362
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do? Not that you know what

363
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: I mean?

364
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, not what you need I mean.

365
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: Unless I mean free agency is just starting.

366
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is in their plans, but

367
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: they could shake up that division and sign Steve de Seger, brilliant.

368
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: They could do.

369
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 7: It my first contract.

370
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 3: Sure, I was gonna say, you're always talking about it

371
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: is no contract. I'm like, I think he's a free agent.

372
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 4: Uh.

373
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 7: Speaking of free agency, that comes up in the NFL

374
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 7: this week, and Kyler Murray is going to be one

375
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 7: because the Arizona Cardinals have already told him we're cutting

Speaker 7: a Miami win at home against the Detroit Pisson one

393
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,959

00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 7: Kay Cunningham back on the court after Bruce quad. In fact,

395

Speaker 7: have Luka Doncic, she had thirty five points, Jalen Brunson

404
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 7: and the lost twenty four points, seven assists, seven turnovers.

405

Speaker 7: Boston has Jason Tatum back these days twenty points in

406
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 7: twenty seven minutes. Today, Celtics won at Cleveland one oh

407
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,919

412
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 7: chance tonight because they're at New Orleans. Somebody's got to

413
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,479

00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 7: already have started passing out tickets to the dance. Teams

430
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 7: are starting to earn automatic bids for the NCAA Tournament. Yesterday,

431
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 7: Long Island got one. They got an NCAA bid from

432
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 7: the Northeastern Conference just by winning their tournament semifinal in

433
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 7: that league. You see the other team that won a semifinal, Mercyhurst,

434
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 7: is still on the four year transition to being a

435
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 7: full Division I program. They're in the conference tournament. They're

436
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 7: not eligible for the NCAA tournament. So just by being

437
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 7: in the final, oh, guess what their opponent is going.

438
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 7: Congratulations to Long Island from the Northeast Conference women's basketball

439
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,320

Speaker 7: just destroyed a top ten IOWA team, ninety six to

441
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 7: forty five. I don't know if you've seen UCLA play.

442
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 7: They start five seniors and the center is six foot seven.

443
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 7: Number four Texas beat number three South Carolina seventy eight

444
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,000

445
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 7: and overtime won a conference title against Louisville. Ryan Blaney

446
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 7: took the NASCAR race at Phoenix, the Arnold Palmer Invitational,

447
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 7: and a playoff went to ax Shay Battia beating Daniel Berger.

448
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 7: John Rahm took the live golf event in Hong Kong.

449
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 7: And if you haven't seen some of the World Baseball Classic, boy,

450
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 7: some of it has been so exciting, exactly what we

451
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 7: got a taste of three years ago when they had

452
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 7: this tournament. USA Baseball, by the way, will be playing

453
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 7: again Monday night in Houston, and Pirates star pitcher Paul

454
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 7: Skens goes for the Americans against Mexico, and then Tuesday

455
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 7: it's US against Italy. Fox and FS one had the

456
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 7: game's quarterfinal for the US quite likely next weekend. Detroit

457
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 7: star pitcher Trek Scouble Saturday, in his one start in

458
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 7: the tournament, allowed a home run on the first pitch

459
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 7: and then settled down to say the least, and the

460
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 7: US dominated Great Britain. The Americans had won their opener

461
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 7: against Brazil fifteen to five. Yes, Brazil is fielding a

462
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 7: baseball team and qualified. Unfortunately, apparently they'd don't have a

463
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 7: pitching staff because they walked seventeen in that game. They

464
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 7: also gave up a first inning home run to Aaron Judge.

465
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 7: Logan Webb of the Giants got the win on Friday

466
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 7: with four innings of work. There was a game yesterday.

467
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 7: I don't know if you've seen some of the games

468
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 7: in Tokyo. The games and the crowds have been superb

469
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 7: and even better in Puerto Rico, the host country. Puerto

470
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 7: Rico was playing at home yesterday and wound up getting

471
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 7: two runs in the tenth to beat Panama four to three.

472
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 7: Puerto Rico is missing a couple of their major league

473
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 7: players because they couldn't couldn't get insurance to get into

474
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 7: this tournament, so one of the subs was starting. A

475
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 7: guy from TRIPAA, Las Vegas, who's from San Juan, Puerto Rico,

476
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 7: playing for Puerto Rico in San Juan and hit the

477
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 7: game winning homer in the bottom of the tenth and

478
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 7: if there had been a roof on the place, it

479
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 7: would have blown off. Man the place went nuts. He

480
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 7: went nuts. He was essentially hopping around the basis after

481
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 7: hitting it out. The left to end the game. If

482
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 7: he could have literally taken flight into the clouds through

483
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 7: the crowd, he would have. There's been some great, great moments.

484
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 7: We had the first ever walk off in this tournament

485
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 7: Ozzie Albi's and the Braves yesterday for the Netherlands three

486
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 7: run home or bottom of the night to beat Nicaragua.

487
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 7: Some of you may know that there's a relation between

488
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 7: Curisou and the Caribbean and the Netherlands, so some of

489
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 7: those major leaguers from there are playing from them. Some

490
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 7: of the major leaguers from well, like Michael Thompson's kid,

491
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 7: Trace Thompson. If you have a connection with certain countries

492
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 7: that Britain has a relationship, you're playing for Great Britain.

493
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 7: It's fun to see so much talent that we've seen

494
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 7: come through the major leagues in this tournament. We're just

495
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 7: getting started again. Quarterfinals next weekend.

496
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: Back to you, Steve.

497
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: It's great stuff and I mean that about your work

498
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: and the World Baseball Classic, and I gotta tell you,

499
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm impressed and surprised by the way this

500
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: tournament has sort of developed. I'm not somebody who gets

501
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: too far into a lot of the you know, just

502
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: kind of the world tournaments that are out there. I've

503
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: for years been a fan of. Like when my favorite

504
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: team house players go be involved in this, I'm like, augh,

505
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: don't get hurt, like just you know what I mean,

506
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: set this thing out, But this, I don't know what

507
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: happened here. This just hit the right spot at the

508
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 2: right time. And to both of you, I ask, how

509
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: the hell do we get even just a tiny piece

510
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: of this energy and inject it into regular baseball.

511
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 7: I would also add that the first thing I think

512
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 7: of seeing this tournament is this tournament gives me everything

513
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 7: I want as a sports fan that I don't get

514
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 7: out of the NBA season ause there are so many

515
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 7: basketball games that we as fans look at and get

516
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 7: the impression, you know, it seems like I'm more interested

517
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 7: in the games this week than those guys are. This

518
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 7: is the complete opposite of that.

519
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: I mean, from how many rants have I done just

520
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: in the last six months of like would you just

521
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: please care? That's all I'm asking. I don't need you

522
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: to be perfect, I don't need you to hit your shots.

523
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: I don't need I don't need any I just right.

524
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 2: It's like a relationship can you just care?

525
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: Just care.

526
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 7: It's like when you're helping somebody move and one guy

527
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 7: is faking helping move the couch.

528
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: Man's well timed bathroom breaks, you know what I mean?

529
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: Oh, anyway, Steve's great, appreciate it. I mean like, I

530
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: don't know, man, you got any ideas? How do you

531
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: how do you capture it? Just just one percent of this.

532
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 4: There's a lot of games in the regular season, I know,

533
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: I know, So you don't care. You can lose forty

534
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 4: games early early, yeah, and make the playoffs.

535
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 3: You lose forty games in the first half.

536
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 4: And so it's set up to you won't care until after,

537
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 4: you know, coming out of summer. It's set up for that.

538
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 2: I feel like sports in general, a lot of takes

539
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: in the business that we're in whittle down to there's

540
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: too many games.

541
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: As why football it is so captivating because you only

542
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: get a few, right, you only get a few of them.

543
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: But there's gotta keep being more.

544
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: There's already more, and there's going to be more, and

545
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: and that's fine, it's not too many more. But I

546
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: just always struggle whenever that's a take from someone because

547
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 2: I get it, and you might be right. But but

548
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: the owner like, there's never going to be less games.

549
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: Nobody in the history of ever is like, let's let's play,

550
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: let's let's do less, let's make less money.

551
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: So in order to make it care or make you care,

552
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: it's hard to care for that loan one hundred and

553
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: sixty eight games.

554
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 2: One hundred and sixty two hundred sixty two.

555
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: It's it's hard to to care that long. It's hard

556
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 4: to care next month, right right now, the excitement of

557
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season is there, but it's hard

558
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 4: to be like, come on, I know they play every

559
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 4: day and then they play at two pm. How could

560
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 4: you care if you're at work? Think about it now

561
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: now you ask me, of course, So I'm breaking down

562
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: the very few primetime games on the weekends. But during

563
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: the week it's not inside the NBA, it's it's it's

564
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 4: not Sunday night or Monday night football or Thursday night football.

565
00:34:51,560 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 4: It's two thirty on a Tuesday, eleven on. Yeah, it's

566
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 4: hard to care when you're dropping kids off. It's it's

567
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 4: hard to care when you when you're on a field

568
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 4: trip with six graders. It's hard to care when you're

569
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: in a meeting a conference Uh uh uh, you know,

570
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 4: a meeting at work in the conference room. It's hard

571
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 4: to care.

572
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: That's true. No, it's true. I actually I would love

573

590
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: this is a conversation I wanted to have with you tonight,

591
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 2: like the idea of can MLB grab just even the

592
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: tiniest bit of World Baseball Classic energy. You're bringing up

593
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: some really good points and obviously some of these things.

594
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 3: You know, like the.

595
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: First answer you could come up with when I asked

596
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: that question is, well, GENI Mark, no, you could do.

597
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 2: There's too many games. Yes, you're bringing up getaway Dasers

598
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 2: games during the day. It's also a very regional sport

599
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: we like, we don't we don't have this poll to

600
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 2: watch out of market games like we do in the NFL.

601
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 2: And in this particular their case where it's the World

602
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic and you may be, you know, rooting for

603
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: country or or or whatever it is. However, let me

604
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: let me throw this at you, because this is kind

605
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: of what I'm getting at. I'm not even talking about

606
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: so much. How like what level fans care? You know,

607
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: we're not gonna cry if our team hits a walk

608
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: off home or something like that, especially on Wednesday at

609
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: two thirty in the afternoon.

610
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: But how do we turn baseball into a little bit

611
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: more of a party.

612
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: And I'll give you one example of something I'd love

613
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: to see baseball really lean into because if you do,

614
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: watch highlights and I'll just it's the easiest example, but

615
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: watch a game in the Dominican for the World Baseball Classic.

616
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: If somebody homers for the home team, babies get made.

617
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: I'm not. I mean, it's like that.

618
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: It's that kind of emotion and excitement for the game.

619
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of now Dodger's closer about two three years ago,

620
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz when he was with the New York Mets.

621
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: He had he was kind of the first really over

622
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: the top, big closer entrance. Everything would stop in the stadium,

623
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: the lights would go out, a dude would come out,

624
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: there might have been a horse, There are horns, and

625
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: this whole production. I never saw it live in person,

626
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: but it felt like it took damn near seven eight, nine,

627
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: ten minutes. And you might be like, that's ridiculously over

628
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: the top. Maybe, but it looked fun. It looked really fun,

629
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 2: as opposed to what we also get in baseball throughout

630
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: the year, which is cutaway shots from television network showing

631
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: people asleep asleep, like, oh boy, Bob, that guy's gonna

632
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 2: get sunburned.

633
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: Huh, oh my god.

634
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 2: We gotta we gotta stop this, We gotta stop this baseball,

635
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: you know, like, thank you so much for the little

636
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: races on the jumbo tromp, thank you so much for

637
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: the bouncing ball, and we're supposed to guess what coup

638
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: it's in.

639
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: Can we can we im freshen this up a little bit?

640
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: Can we can we get can we get some actual

641
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: party people to come in and plan something for baseball?

642
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 4: They just market it wrong as well. So my problem

643
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 4: has always been the face of baseball is an American

644
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 4: and so they don't market baseball in a way where

645
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 4: out side of baseball families kids are dying to get to.

646
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 4: You know, after the Little League, most kids stop playing baseball. Right,

647
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 4: whether you're going to the NBA or not, kids are

648
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 4: still playing basketball. Right. It's you'll you'll go play. You'll

649
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 4: play for as long and as hard as you can

650
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 4: because it resonates. It resonates like your favorite players are

651
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 4: there and you feel a part of it. It's not

652
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 4: like that for baseball. It's a little bit of a

653
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: of a disconnect when it comes to marketing of baseball.

654
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 4: It has been for a long time.

655
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: I agree with that. I agree with.

656
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: There's zero excitement in the marketing of baseball because it's

657
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 4: what's the game.

658
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: It's right, and they're trying to get rid of that

659
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 2: with the let the kids play and all of that stuff,

660
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: show some personality, all right, we.

661
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: Can keep the conversation going.

662
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: We got three things coming up next Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: harder to go to bed tonight because man, it's still

668
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: sun shining outside six o'clock where we sit. Whole new

669
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: world here we go into the second half of the

670
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: year in many ways, but yes, with NFL free agency,

671
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: Adam Silver threatening some new things finally in the NBA

672
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: to curb tanking.

673
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 3: We haven't gotten that yet, and we will.

674
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: Matt Verderram from Sports Illustrator's gonna join us this hour

675
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: on the NFL usings as well. But at this hour,

676
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: this time every Sunday, Ephram and I do three things.

677
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 2: Let's go our three observations of the week, at least

678
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: through our eyes. And I can't wait to throw this

679
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: one at you. I'm not gonna be long winded on

680
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 2: this one. He from I want you to react to

681
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 2: this as quickly as possible. I can't with with Shank

682
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: Gilges Alexander anymore. I can't do this. We can't do this.

683
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: Adam Silver's over here targeting tanking. You need to do

684
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 2: this first. I swear to God, I am less offended

685
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 2: by tanking than I am by watching Shay and Harden

686
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: and a few others around the league play this alternate game.

687
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: It's like a.

688
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: Sort of variant of twister with a ball in your hand, Like,

689
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: do you do Shae even know that where the basket is.

690
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 3: He doesn't care where the basket is.

691
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: He just cares where your arms are so that he

692
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: can wrap his arms under your arms, then fling his

693
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: body to some other area on the square and then

694
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: look at the ref and go shoot two free throws.

695
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to do this anymore. I don't know

696
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: what game he's playing. I don't know what game they're

697
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: playing that is not basketball. Fix that damn thing. He

698
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 2: is unwatchable period.

699
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah it's called you know, he's a free throw a merchant,

700
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: and a couple of years ago, James Harden had perfected

701
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 4: that right. He pumped, faked the three come off, then

702
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 4: he literally wrap you up with him and go up

703
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 4: to the babies. I mean he was hitting, you know,

704
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 4: he was averaging you know, fifteen to twenty free throws

705
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 4: a game. That's why he lead the league in scoring.

706
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 4: When you're getting twenty points from the free throw line,

707
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it's unwatchable. It's hard to watch, it's not exciting,

708
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 4: and you know.

709
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 3: And they're done.

710
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: Given these dudes MVP awards for this crap.

711
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's out.

712
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 2: Stop watching basketball on Twitter and in box scores. Of

713
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 2: course he scores thirty three a night, of course he does.

714
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: How could he not shooting that many free throws?

715
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: Congratulations for cracking the code free throw merchants, But it's

716
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: yet another piece of the NBA that I have no

717
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: interest in whatsoever.

718
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough to watch. It takes away from you know,

719
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 4: the dynamic, the nature of the game.

720
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: You know.

721
00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 4: So it's it's I get it. These guys all trained

722
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 4: with the same trainers, yep. And so this is being

723
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 4: talked to eleven year olds, twelve year olds, and so

724
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 4: you grow up doing this. This is how you're training,

725
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 4: this is how you're preparing, and so as you get older,

726
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 4: you get more and more proficient at it. Come on,

727
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 4: and it's tough to watch. It is tough to watch.

728
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 4: Part of the game that we need to, you know,

729
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: fix talk about the Lakers. Lakers showed up today and

730
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 4: I want to talk about them because this is what

731
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 4: I noticed. Lebron James has missed the last two games

732
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 4: elbow and then foot tendinitis. That's what happens when you're

733
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 4: sixty elbow. I saw that injury live. Give me a

734
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 4: break anyway, go ahead, worry about your team.

735
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: Okay, got nothing to worry about with that team.

736
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 4: I got But but what I want to say is

737
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 4: watching them today without uh, Lebron James and Van Do

738
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 4: played a lot, you know, la Abia like Marcus smart Rory.

739
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 4: They played extremely well defensively, They played with an energy

740
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen him quite some time. Luca was Luca,

741
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 4: He's gonna do his thing. He's gonna score. Austin Reeves

742
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 4: even got in there and and and mix it up defensively.

743
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 4: But that's that's the identity. That's what needs to happen.

744
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 4: And I was pleased to see them step up against

745
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 4: the Knicks and and and play the way they did.

746
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 4: It was it was promising. And I say all that

747
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 4: to say they don't or can't play that way. With

748
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 4: Lebron James on the court. He is a real defensive liability.

749
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 4: So when you have him and Luca on the court, defensively,

750
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: you suffer. You can score points, but you can't stop anybody.

751
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 4: And so some hard conversations are gonna have to be

752
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 4: had when he's coming down the stretch when we get

753
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 4: to the playoff series.

754
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: What is what is suggesting this year? I get it.

755
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 2: He's gonna be off the team next year. Yeah, what

756
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: do you what do you do this? You bench the guy?

757
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 4: No, you're not gonna bench him, but you may have

758
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 4: longer stretches with a defensive lineup in like you're gonna

759
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 4: have to. You're not gonna put Luca on the bench,

760
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 4: so you're gonna have to have long It'll be longer

761
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 4: stretches with a defensive lineup, and they gonna really have

762
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 4: to look at this thing.

763
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 3: Yep.

764
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 4: Because I was impressed by the way their defensive rotation.

765
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 4: They played a little zone which they struggle in. Sometimes

766
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 4: they were moving, they were rotating. It looks good to

767
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 4: me today.

768
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: One ten ninety seven win over the New York Knicks

769
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: held the Knicks to sixty nine points by the end

770
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 2: of three quarters.

771
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 3: So I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. No,

772
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 3: doubt about it.

773
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: All Right, here's my number two and this might be

774
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: one of my first NHL takes of the year. Whoa

775
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: Ephraim got a chance on Tuesday of this week to

776
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,479
Speaker 2: do our show live at the Tank that's the home

777
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 2: of the San Jose Sharks. I don't know how many

778
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 2: of you are into the NHL out there, but this

779
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: was the first time that I got a chance in person,

780
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: not the first time, but my first time in person

781
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: to be able to watch young Macklin Celebrini.

782
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 3: He is fifth in the league in scoring this year.

783
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 2: He was one of the tournament leaders in scoring for

784
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games for Team Canada, which as we know,

785
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: team USA beat for the gold medal. Aphrom he's nineteen.

786
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 3: Wow, he's nineteen years old.

787
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 2: And I don't care what sport you watched, Lebron was

788
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: this once upon a time? You know, when you walk

789
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 2: into an arena or walk out onto a field and

790
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 2: one person just stands out. They just it's as if

791
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: that little spotlight is on them, but there's not actually

792
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: any lights on. They just look different when they're doing

793
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 2: what they're doing. If you are a hockey fan and

794
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: you have not had a chance to see this person.

795
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: You have to see this person. He is already the

796
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 2: next big thing. He is going to be the best

797
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: player in hockey over this next generation. He does everything scoring,

798
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: his assists, his ice movement, his awareness.

799
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 3: His vision.

800
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: It's absolutely unbelievable to watch in person, because hockey is

801
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 2: so much better of a sport in person when you

802
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: can see the whole thing going on at once. But anyway,

803
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: just want to drop that in there because it's the

804
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 2: first chance I got to actually see.

805
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 3: Him live and he is freaking chef's kiss.

806
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 4: Wow. Well, now I gotta look. I gotta go get

00:52:54,800 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 4: started twentieth I think, and finished six. That's a lot

844
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 4: of work you ever seen you ever seen Talladega Knights?

845
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 4: Sure remember when Will Ferrell got the opportunity to drive,

846
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 4: and he was like, yes, with all due respect, Lucius,

847
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,360

00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things in the f one in

867
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 2: the in the Netflix series is when you hear what's

868

Speaker 2: going into the into the ears of the driver. Oh,

869
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,880

876
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 2: good stuff.

877
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 4: And guess it's on Apple now. Oh so it's on Apple.

878
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 4: You can go, you can watch it. They have a

879
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 4: multi view screen where you can actually pick the driver

880
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 4: you wanna be in the car with. It's it's unbelievable. Unreal.

881
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 4: It's a great experience.

882
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, really really fun.

883
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 2: Okay, my last one is this NFL free agencies tomorrow.

884
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 2: Listen to me now, don't get upset, listen to my explanation.

885
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 2: But if your team signs wide receiver Alec Pierce from

886
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts, your team done messed up. I'm not

887
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 2: about to say what you think I'm gonna say. I

888
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 2: think he's a wonderful player. I think he's a wonderful player.

889
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 2: But I can smell from around the corner when something

890
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 2: has been talked up too much and the price has

891
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 2: gone too high. You and I have made it very

892
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 2: clear over the last year and a half how we

893
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 2: feel about the wide receiver market in the NFL.

894
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 3: And if what I'm sort of hearing and feeling.

895
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 2: Is about to happen, if somebody is going to go

896
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 2: north of twenty five or maybe even thirty or god

897
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 2: knows where for Alec Pierce, that is flat out malpractice

898
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 2: and a misappropriation of funds for your football team.

899
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 3: I think he's a very good player.

900
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 2: I think in a different system, with different players around him,

901
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 2: I do think he could really thrive. I even think

902
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 2: he could be a thousand yard receiver in this league.

903
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 2: He's not worth that. There's too much smoke. There are

904
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: too many teams interested. It's no different than being in

905
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 2: a casino and being and I've done this, hephim.

906
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 3: This is how I feel about Alec Pierce. I love

907
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 3: to throw dice. I love to play craps.

908
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 2: Okay, if I walk over to the craps table and

909
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 2: it says that the minimum bed is twenty five dollars,

910
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 2: we gon't go play something else. I'm not throwing that

911
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: kind of cash around.

912
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 4: I'm not doing that dollar.

913
00:56:59,000 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 3: We have.

914
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 2: Did you know give me I don't know ten to

915
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: fifteen dollars minimums? Like, man, I mean it used to

916
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 2: be five when I started playing. Yeah, yeah, I'm not

917
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: that twenty. But like you gotta cover the board. I'm

918
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 2: not putting three hundred dollars out on every.

919
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 3: Roll like what I ain't Charles Barkley.

920
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 4: What are we doing out money? Man? I love it

921
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 4: at all.

922
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm not playing.

923
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 2: And so when Alec Pierce shows up and you call

924
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 2: his agent, that's what you say to him. Your minimums

925
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 2: are twenty five dollars a han, and we out, We're

926
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 2: gonna go play something else you see me in the

Speaker 3: Okay, all right, go ahead.

931
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 3: Every year.

932
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 4: There's a Winter Basketball League which is the season, and

933
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,959
Speaker 4: at the end of that season, an all Star team

934
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 4: for each individual park is compiled and then you go

935
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 4: into this huge tournament two weeks, three week tournament. It's

936
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 4: the biggest tournament they have in basketball in Los Angeles proper.

937
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 4: It's hundreds and hundreds of parks. We do it every year.

938
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 4: I've been tasked to coach the All Star team again.

939
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 4: Last year we wanted allnt won the Valley Region with

940
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 4: something the park that I coach had hadn't done in

941
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 4: twenty years as a banner hanging up that'll be there forever.

942
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 4: I'm on it, my son's on it, the team's on it.

943
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 4: And so this year that was for minors nine and

944
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 4: ten year olds. This year I'm up at the majors

945
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 4: eleven and twelve year olds. So I got a group

946
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 4: of young kids. I have one twelve year old, the

947
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 4: rest eleven in sixth grade. And we went into a

948
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 4: went in to play a game yesterday and the team

949
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 4: that we were playing was considerably bigger. They had a

950
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 4: bunch of twelve year olds and thirteen year olds. If

951
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 4: you turn thirteen after January first, you can still play

952
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 4: in the Major's Division. And so immediately when my kids

953
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 4: saw those kids, the game was over. And I don't

954
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 4: know if you know, I'm a pretty hard nosed coach, yep,

955
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 4: and we got boat raced. We're normally beating teams by

956
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 4: twenty two twenty three. We got beat by twenty two.

957
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 4: And so I had a practice this morning with my

958
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 4: team and literally just broke down what each and every

959
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 4: one of those players means to me, to the team,

960
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 4: just re installing and rebuilding their confidence, because we got

961
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 4: a game Tuesday. If we lose that we're done. If

962
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 4: we win that we got a shot to get into

963
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 4: the bracket. We're in pool play right now. Top two

964
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 4: teams in your pool come out. Three teams in the

965
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 4: pool gotta go one and one. And so I want

966
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 4: to shout out to my, my, my, my, my, Major's

967
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 4: All Star team. I put them through the paces today.

968
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 4: They responded well, and I can't wait to see how

969
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 4: they show up and play on Tuesday.

970
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Send me a text will you, I will, I can't.

971
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 2: I like invested.

972
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go.

973
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 3: Let's freaking go. Oh yeah, I love it.

974
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 4: That's why I don't have my voice sounds like this

975
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 4: sound great. I've been screaming at uh eleven and twelve

976
01:00:55,080 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 4: year olds the last Hey, hey baby, I've had my silk,

1003
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 2: good evening. Thank you for coming on. How you doing?

1004
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 3: No?

1005
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 6: Are you?

1006
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 2: We're fantastic man. I want to ask you first about

1007
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey. So story comes out earlier today that he

1008
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: would like to play again, which A surprised me and

1009
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 2: B maybe it's not with the Chiefs. What are you

1010
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 2: hearing on that situation.

1011
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised he wants to play again that it

1012
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 6: feels like internally it's kind of been the expectation on

1013
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 6: the last month or show as far as I'm playing

1014
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 6: somewhere else, Listen, it happens, does happen? I mean we

1015
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 6: you know, I'm a Smith with the Cardinals, Joe Namas

1016
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 6: with the Rams, on and on and on United Chargers.

1017
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 6: It would be surprising to play somewhere else. That being said, listen,

1018
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 6: I think this is posturing by Kelsey's camp. You get

1019
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 6: a little more money, maybe get a bigger offer. Doesn't

1020
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 6: mean he can't make good on the threat to go

1021
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 6: somewhere else. But I think smart money says he stays

1022
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 6: in Kansas City and he just takes me out to

1023
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 6: a one year deal. Obviously, and it's you know, X

1024
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 6: amount of dollars and maybe there's some incentives in there.

1025
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 6: But the Chiefs this is a this is a I

1026
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 6: don't want say it's not a rebuild, but it's kind

1027
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 6: of a remodel of the house, so to speak. I

1028
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 6: mean they are changing a lot of things up. They

1029
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 6: have limited cap space. I think they want to be

1030
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 6: very very aggressive in the market come tomorrow. Well, one

1031
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 6: year deal sometimes are tough because you can't spread the

1032
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 6: cap hits out. They just they are what they are.

1033
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 6: Do I think he goes back to Casey, Yes.

1034
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 4: Do.

1035
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 6: I think there's a world where the Chiefs say, look,

1036
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 6: this is our line in the sands and if you

1037
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 6: not want to take it, thanks for the memories. Yeah possible.

1038
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 4: What's the uh say he does come back? Say he

1039
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 4: does sign a one year deal with and whatever that

1040
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 4: looks like, what's the time that table or prognosis for

1041
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 4: Pat mahomes coming back and being available for the beginning

1042
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 4: of the season.

1043
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 6: So look, if you asked some people in that building,

1044
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 6: they would tell you, look, we think he's going to

1045
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 6: be here week one, and I think that's you know,

1046
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 6: the general expectation now, to be clear. Week one is

1047
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 6: exactly nine months from the day he tore thee and

1048
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 6: he had Ahl serves me the following night, which is rare.

1049
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 6: Usually guys made a few weeks or some swelling. He

1050
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 6: just went and did it within twenty four hours of

1051
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 6: actually carrying the Lakers. Nine months is an average timetable.

1052
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,919
Speaker 6: You know. Some guys are eight months, some guys are ten.

1053
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 6: You know, there's a thought that he could be ready

1054
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 6: to get on the field and be pretty much on

1055
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 6: percent some time in August. That would be the best

1056
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 6: case scenario. But I think generally speaking, the thought is

1057
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 6: he'll be on the field come week one, as long

1058
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 6: as there's not a setback. And that's always the risk.

1059
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 6: You know, you're having a human being do rehab. There's

1060
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 6: always the risk that something could take an extra couple

1061
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 6: of weeks or a month or whatever, but he has

1062
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 6: been attacking and rehab. Andy Reid spoke of WISTO and

1063
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 6: a presser said that he's been at the facility seven

1064
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 6: hours a day. I think their thought is that he'll

1065
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 6: be there week one.

1066
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 2: Matt Verne Ram is with US Sports Illustrated. Also check

1067
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 2: out his podcast, The Matt Verner Ram Show on Patreon. Matt,

1068
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying that this guy has a sweepstakes,

1069
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 2: but it sounds like he does. Who wins the Alec

1070
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 2: Pierce Sweepstakes?

1071
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a weird one. Look, I think the Patriots

1072
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 6: are one of, if not the leaders in the clubhouse here.

1073
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 6: They need a receiver. They are obviously coming off of

1074
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 6: a surprising year, very successful year. They're trying to at

1075
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 6: least make sure they maintain that momentum. They've got forty

1076
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 6: four million in cap space. I would argue that receiver,

1077
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 6: especially if Diggs is out the door, is their biggest need,

1078
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 6: along with shoring up that online probably finding little help

1079
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 6: on the edge. Listen, Pierce is a tremendous deep ball receiver,

1080
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 6: and May is austmith throwing the deep ball, So in

1081
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 6: that regard, it's a great fit. The thing that's interesting

1082
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,439
Speaker 6: with Pierce is he is not a high volume guy.

1083
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 6: He is extremely efficient. He's led the league in yard

1084
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 6: perception into the last two years and well over twenty

1085
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 6: yards to catch, but he is not you know, he's

1086
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 6: not gonna go out and have one hundred cats. He's

1087
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 6: not going to go out and be that guy who is,

1088
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 6: you know, one hundred catches twelve hundred yards. He's gonna

1089
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 6: have like forty five to fifty catches, and if he

1090
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 6: does it, he's probably going to be in about a

1091
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 6: thousand yards, which is great, but you know, you've got

1092
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 6: to be a certain type of teams willing to throw

1093
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 6: the ball down the field. Now his credit, he's done

1094
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 6: the last few years an Indie with with quarterbacks that

1095
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 6: outside of Jones playing really well for like eight games,

1096
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 6: are not exactly you know, Hall of Fame bounds. But

1097
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 6: I think, look, Pierce is he is in a great

1098
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 6: spot because he is the best of a very shaky

1099
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 6: market for receivers. Mike Evans is awesome, but he's older.

1100
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 6: Keenan Allen is good, but he's much older. Wandel Robinson

1101
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 6: is kind of the exact opposite of Pier so I'll

1102
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 6: catch a million balls that he might do it for

1103
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 6: nine hundred yards. Roman Dal's good player. I think he's

1104
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 6: probably the underrated guys. It's not awesome. It's not a

1105
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 6: great wide receiver.

1106
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 4: Crop Uh. When you talk about Indianapolis and what they're

1107
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 4: able to do early on in the in the year,

1108
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 4: then Daniel Jones get hurt. What is the what are

1109
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 4: they doing? What in terms of the quarterback position are

1110
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 4: they waiting for Daniel Jones? Is it his job? Are

1111
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 4: they bringing him back or are they going to look elsewhere?

1112
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 6: Well, I mean they's lot the transition tag on so

1113
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 6: essentially right now, you know, like any team go off

1114
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 6: from contract, and the way that works when I unfamiliar

1115
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 6: with it is if you know, let's just say the

1116
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 6: Vikings were to offer from a contract, Okay, the Colts

1117
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 6: can match it. They have to match the exact turns

1118
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 6: that they do. He signed, he stays with the Colts.

1119
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 6: Otherwise he leaves, the Colts get nothing for him. So

1120
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 6: you know, whereas with the franchise tag, the team would

1121
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 6: receive the first round pick, which is why I had

1122
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 6: to after in my twenty five years, I didn't you

1123
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 6: know their hope is that Jones is ready. But I

1124
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 6: wouldn't be surprised if there's some point down the lines

1125
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 6: that they move off Anthony Rich and maybe bringing a veteran.

1126
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 6: It's backup, just give them motal insurance. It's listen, it's

1127
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 6: it's a dangerous thing in the sense. Daniel Jones had

1128
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 6: a fracture in his leg. He then tore his achilles.

1129
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 6: A couple of years ago, he had a torn a seat.

1130
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 6: I mean that that is a lot of who you are.

1131
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 6: Those were a lot of serious injuries in a two

1132
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,879
Speaker 6: to three year span, and he down in the stretch's

1133
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 6: not playing as well as he was prior when he

1134
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 6: was red hot first eight nine to the year. But

1135
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 6: they're kind of in a brutal spot because they traded

1136
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 6: to first round Pictures Sauce Guard. Now like they're committed

1137
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 6: at this point, there's no there's no going back to.

1138
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 6: I mean, if they go back, everybody's fire by the time.

1139
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 6: I mean, if they go back from the position they

1140
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 6: put themselves in, like Baller and its site there are

1141
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 6: put their house on the market, so they're all in.

1142
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 6: They just got a hope that hey Jones is right

1143
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 6: and he's healthy. And we can get him back rolling

1144
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 6: the way he was first half.

1145
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 3: Of the year.

1146
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 6: But there's a lot of questioners. They have a lot

1147
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 6: of free agents. The Colts have a lot of guys

1236
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 2: By the way, San Diego State is who we're talking about.

1237
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: For everybody who doesn't speak e from they.

1238
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 4: Have to win the tournament to get in. They had

1239
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 4: a couple bad quiet one losses that they should have won.

1240
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 4: And you know this, this may be the deepest team

1241
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 4: that they've ever had, but you know, it took a

1242
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 4: minute for everybody to jail, and you know, they lost

1243
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 4: some games they had no business losing.

1244
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 3: Hmm.

1245
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 2: I noticed there was just like this normal march spring

1246
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 2: in your step that was missing a little bit this year.

1247
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 2: And I'm you know me too, well, I just I'm

1248
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 2: looking at their schedule and and they've lost four of

1249
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:05,760
Speaker 2: six and I'm like, I get it.

1250
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 4: That's not something that happens very much. Yeah, it does

1251
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 4: not happen very much, not for the Aztecs.

1252
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 2: You know, my uh, one of my stepdaughters is going

1253
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 2: to Boise State. Now, oh, that was an amazing reaction.

1254
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,840
Speaker 2: That's the first time anybody's ever reacted that way when

1255
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 2: I told him that, the hell was she does she

1256
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 2: do that?

1257
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 3: Because she could, you know, because she went to college.

1258
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 3: Like that's the applaud You're like, wow, should go.

1259
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 4: To Collegeoise State.

1260
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, get about four apartments in Boise

1261
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 2: for the one you're getting San Diego.

1262
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 3: Good luck though, Well, anyway, I.

1263
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 4: Thought college was all about the experience, not very good

1264
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 4: experience with Boise.

1265
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 3: Ain't nothing wrong with Boise, Idaho.

1266
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 4: You stop, go get some property up there, then.

1267
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 2: That's what she's doing. But anyway, not owning it but

1268
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 2: renting it. Anyway, you get the idea. All right, We're

1282
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 3: I can't do it. I just can't.

1283
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 2: There's nothing, I mean, super talented. Sometimes that's its like

1284
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: if I had had a chance to speak directly to

1285
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 2: shake Yill just Alexander James Harden sometimes you know Chris

1286
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 2: Paul back when he was playing, I'm just like, God,

1287
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 2: you guys are You're so good, You're such amazing players.

1288
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 2: Why don't you try to score the basketball? Why don't

1289
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 2: you try to shoot at the hoop instead of trying

1290
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 2: to like position yourself against a defender so that they're

1291
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 2: stuck and have no choice but to get looped into

1292
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 2: your little foul game. And then you fall on the

1293
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 2: ground and go shoot, like why play basketball?

1294
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 3: Man? All right, well, so here's here's my other one.

1295
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm not as annoyed by this, but it's getting there.

1296
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 3: My dude. Your boy has got to stop. He's out

1297
01:17:52,880 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 3: of control. He's complaining even when good things happen. Do

1298
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 3: you notice how you're laughing? And I don't even need

1299
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 3: to say who I'm talking about. You can't put your

1300
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 3: palms up after every single play no matter what happens.

1301
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 3: He seems to be complaining when they do call a foul,

1302
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 3: as if he wants like an even more foul to

1303
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 3: be called or something.

1304
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 2: Your boy, Luca is on the verge of losing the audience.

1305
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 2: He's got to stop, dude, he's too good for this.

1306
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 4: Also, I mean, you're not wrong, he gotta stop. You're

1307
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 4: not wrong, You're actually right. Yeah, I know, yeah, you're right.

1308
01:18:58,640 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 6: I know.

1309
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 3: I hate it.

1310
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I do I hate it. I do

1311
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 4: not like it at all.

1312
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 3: There was some.

1313
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 2: Like I tried not to watch basketball games on social media,

1314
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 2: because you get you get a warped view of what

1315
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 2: took place. It appeared to me that he complained last

1316
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 2: week after missing a free throw.

1317
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 4: He may be of complaining. He may be of complaining

1318
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 4: about why he was actually on the free throw line.

1319
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 4: Oh no, I know, I know what you're talking about.

1320
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 4: What actually, I know what you're talking about because it

1321
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:44,440
Speaker 4: was a lane violation. They came into the lane before.

1322
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 3: Lane violation.

1323
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 2: I've seen players set up a tent in the key

1324
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 2: during free throws in the NBA. They don't call that.

1325
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 2: They don't call that. Luca, God, what what is he doing?

1326
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 2: It's really become comical. My son and I sat there

1327
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 2: and watched the second half of the Lakers Nuggets game

1328
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 2: the other night, and we're just doubled over laughing. I'm like,

1329
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what happens on the court, Luca just

1330
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 2: going run over the ref And I'm like, who, I

1331
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 2: gotta give it to JJ Reddick. I don't know what

1332
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 2: you think about JJ Reddick.

1333
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 3: Wow, I don't. You can't lose your mind at the stars.

1334
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 3: I'd have lost my damn mind.

1335
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he definitely wants to slap some people.

1336
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 3: Exactly like Luca, you come sit next to me. You

1337
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 3: want to talk, Come sit next to me. We could talk.

1338
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 2: Oh brutal, dude, You're never Oh boy, these these are

1339
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 2: such great players. I wish they would, you know, play basketball.

1340
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 2: I got more if you want it. We can talk

1341
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 2: about Lebron if you want to.

1342
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

1343
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 2: But let's talk about Adam Silver and tanking because he's

1344
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 2: finally talking about it.

1345
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 3: So we'll get to that coming up.

1346
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,440
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

1347
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's been telegraphed like a bad pass. We know

1348
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 2: that Adam Silver needs to address tanking on some level.

1349
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 2: It's just taken over the NBA discussion here in twenty

1350
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 2: twenty six. So he finally addressed it. He spoke big,

1351
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 2: but then he also kind of said that he's an incrementalist,

1352
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 2: which means whatever change is going to calm at a

1353
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 2: slow pace. Kind of allah the way college football finally

1354
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,639
Speaker 2: got to a playoff through the years.

1355
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens.

1356
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 2: But a from as we broadcast live from the Fox

1357
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 2: Sports radio studios, I would love to hear from you

1358
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 2: on what you think about what Adam Silver said. He

1359
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 2: talked about potentially addressing tanking by divorcing the NBA lottery

1360
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 2: from team's final record. There has even been talk about

1361
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 2: doing away with the draft entirely. Do you just make

1362
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 2: everybody a free agent? But as you'd expect, it's complicated,

1363
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 2: and I sort of felt the fact that he spoke

1364
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 2: about it publicly the way he did in this moment,

1365
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 2: as an incrementalist, like he called himself, it felt a

1366
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 2: little bit just like a test the waters threat, little

1367
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 2: bit like what the Chicago Bears did a few weeks

1368
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 2: ago when they're like, all.

1369
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 3: Right, we're moving to Indiana.

1370
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 2: No, you're not shut up, you know, the Chicago Go Bears,

1371
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Like that was so clearly a threat in order to

1372
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 2: get others to act, to me, to telegraphed. And I

1373
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 2: felt a little bit this way here where he's like,

1374
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 2: let's start by making a really big threat and then

1375
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 2: see if anybody changes their behavior, which they're not going

1376
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 2: to do because this is a huge draft coming up

1377
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 2: with big time prospects. That's not expected to be the

1378
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 2: case the next couple of years, so teams are gonna

1379
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 2: ride this out. But I'd love to know what you think.

1380
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 2: What do you think about what he said and what

1381
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 2: about the ideas on the table.

1382
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 4: Well, I think in theory, you know, trying to strike

1383
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,759
Speaker 4: fear in those who are building their franchises with tanking.

1384
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 4: In theory, that sounds good, but in reality, you're not

1385
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 4: going to get rid of the draft. One of the

1386
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 4: most you know, iconic and cherished moments in any young

1387
01:23:55,040 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 4: player's career is being drafted. So mean to tell me

1388
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 4: you getting rid of that. You're getting rid of the

1389
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 4: pictures and the spectacle and the accomplishment these young players have.

1390
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 4: If wanting to be a first round draft pick or

1391
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 4: the first pick in the draft, you're just gonna get

1392
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 4: rid of that. Some teams would want to lose to

1393
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 4: have more chances at Now, what you can do is

1394
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 4: you can say, all teams in the lottery get one

1395
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 4: ping pong ball. That's it. You get one and we'll

1396
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 4: really let fate decide. You spin that thing around, one

1397
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 4: ball comes out, that's who's got the first pick.

1398
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 3: I love that.

1399
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 2: Because what he's sort of like indicated was maybe we

1400
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 2: just we put all the teams in there, and so

1401
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 2: if Oklahoma City wins the title, they might get the

1402
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 2: first pick. Also, well, that's gonna make people lose their

1403
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 2: damn minds.

1404
01:24:58,240 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 4: Now you'll put all the teams in there. That's not

1405
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 4: that's not the point.

1406
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 2: No, And and if you put all of the teams

1407
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 2: in there, I think you're gonna have a hard time

1408
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 2: gaining the trust of the fans because.

1409
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 3: They already hues, they already.

1410
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 4: Get the first year.

1411
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 2: And no, they'll only wait till there's a year like

1412
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 2: Shaq or Lebron, like when there's a clear number one overall.

1413
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 2: Then that's when the big market teams will show up.

1414
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 2: So I think you have a hard a hard time there.

1415
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,799
Speaker 2: I love what you said, and I'm having the hardest

1416
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,440
Speaker 2: time figuring out why that's complicated.

1417
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 4: It's not. But I always say it's too easy. It's

1418
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 4: it's too easy to to be to be true, right,

1419
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it is not rocket science. Just give every

1420
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 4: single team, the fifteen teams in the lottery one ball.

1421
01:25:56,720 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 4: You'll there will be no tanking teams. We'll go out

1422
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 4: there and play. Either you'll make the playoffs or you're not.

1423
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 4: You get the same chance as the you know, fifteenth team,

1424
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,679
Speaker 4: as you do as the ninth team.

1425
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 3: Like to me, that's where i'd start. That's where i'd start.

1426
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 2: Now, the hard part of this, you know, because both

1427
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 2: of us are like, why is that so complicated. Here's

1428
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 2: one complication, Well, you've allowed all these teams for years

1429
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 2: to trade picks with protections on them, like you can

1430
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: have a lottery pick unless it's top three, or unless

1431
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 2: it's top ten, or just lottery protected as a whole.

1432
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 2: That makes it a little bit tougher because that protection

1433
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: that was put in place kind of came with it

1434
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 2: a little bit, not a full but a little bit

1435
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 2: of an understanding about what that would mean. Yes, there's

1436
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 2: luck involved, there's always luck involved in the lottery, but

1437
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of an understanding involved with that trade,

1438
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 2: and I feel like the value of that sort of

1439
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 2: changes in real time. And those trades have already been made, but.

1440
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 3: This is going to take some time anyway, So like

1441
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 3: it's not like I don't think they're going to be

1442
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 3: able to do that for next season, although he is

1443
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 3: threatening to do some things for next season, but I

1444
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 3: do think those are just that I think that's a threat.

1445
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 3: I would start there too.

1446
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley said this a few weeks ago on his show,

1447
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 2: and I wholeheartedly agree. Starting now, if you trade a pick,

1448
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 2: you traded the pick period. If you trade it, it's gone.

1449
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 2: You don't get to keep it because you got lucky

1450
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 2: and it ended up in a good spot. That's a

1451
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 2: very important thing that has to go alongside what you

1452
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 2: and I are saying, which is that all lottery teams

1453
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 2: have an equal chance.

1454
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:14,600
Speaker 4: It's simple. If you did have okay, Cee's pick and

1455
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 4: it's protected, say the Lakers, okay, trade it would okay,

1456
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 4: see the Lakers if they're in you know, the lottery,

1457
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 4: they get two balls, one and two. The one ball

1458
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 4: is theirs. The two ball you can put okay, see

1459
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,439
Speaker 4: on the on on the ball as well, right, and

1460
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:50,639
Speaker 4: if it's protected, if that's picked first, our third, then okay,

1461
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 4: see retains that keep it?

1462
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 3: No, you could do it, I guess is right. But

1463
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 3: it's it's it is. It's moving the goalposts a little bit.

1464
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 2: The trade was made under one rule, and then you'd

1465
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 2: have a new rule, and it's kind of like, ooh,

1466
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 2: the value of that changed. So look, I can't sit

1467
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,640
Speaker 2: here right now and tell you how far into the

1468
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 2: future picks have already been traded. To a degree, would

1469
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 2: there be some unfairness there? Maybe you're gonna have to

1470
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 2: deal with that. I don't know how quickly, you can

1471
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 2: do this. But that's Those are the two things I

1472
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 2: would do, starting right now. If you trade a pick,

1473
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 2: the pick is gone. And follow that with all lottery

1474
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,599
Speaker 2: teams have equal odds. Those are the first two things

1475
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 2: that I would do for sure.

1476
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 4: And just like that, you solved the problem.

1477
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 3: Well you start. I mean, I'm not gonna like. I

1478
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 3: think you're right.

1479
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's just like anything else, you know, like

1480
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 2: think about steroid testing. As soon as they figure out

1481
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 2: how to steroid tests, then the users are on too

1482
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 2: the next drug. So I'm sure people would figure out

1483
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 2: a way to break that too, or try.

1484
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think I'm with you. I think sometimes

1485
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 3: we've over complicated this a little bit.

1486
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 4: We tend to add steps when steps are needed.

1487
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 3: We sure do, we sure do? What if the All

1488
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 3: Star Game determinins are oh god, too much? Right? Right?

1489
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 3: So that's where I would start. I don't know. Do

1490
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 3: you feel like I don't even know the rules of this?

1491
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 3: Is that something that you just snap your fingers and

1492
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 3: do for this.

1493
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 4: Year they had a vote on it.

1494
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 3: Who's they?

1495
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 4: I believe the NBA Players Association, the owners.

1496
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. Would the players Association have a I

1497
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 3: don't know if they would ge, would they give a rip?

1498
01:30:59,200 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 4: I mean they would.

1499
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 3: I don't know how that changes life for them at all.

1500
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 3: I do, you know what I mean?

1501
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 4: Yes, I do, I do.

1502
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Actually, the argument I would make if you're

1503
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 2: a player coming out of college, this gives you, in theory,

1504
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 2: a better chance to be with a potentially slightly better team.

1505
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does, you know what I mean?

1506
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 2: Washington right right, Like, if I was a college player,

1507
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 2: if I was Debanca and you could tell me right now, like, hey,

1508
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:33,880
Speaker 2: there's a chance.

1509
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 3: That you won't go to Washington or New Orleans or

1510
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 3: Charlotte or Sack, I'd be like, sign me up.

1511
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 4: Or I mean Charlotte might not be bad.

1512
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 3: Maybe not.

1513
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:50,879
Speaker 2: That's probably do that. Yeah, they do have a little something.

1514
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 4: Cook, they got something going on over there. Yeah, I

1515
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 4: just meant New Orleans.

1516
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1517
01:31:56,760 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 2: And from a historical decision making standpoint, these are the

1518
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 2: organizations where you're like, whoof, y'all don't know what you're doing.

1519
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 3: And that's prickly too, you know.

1520
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 4: Because it's okay to sound like the smartest in the room.

1521
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:17,439
Speaker 4: Sometimes well yeah, I mean it's okay for that.

1522
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 2: We keep doing it. But ugh, Yeah, this isn't this

1523
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 2: isn't that hard. And I do whenever you see that,

1524
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 2: like when they're okay, we're gonna have a public press

1525
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 2: conference and talk about this, it's like, I know you're

1526
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 2: doing that to dip your toe in the water, send

1527
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 2: a threat and see how people will react. And I

1528
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 2: guess maybe we're a part of that process. So there's

1529
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 2: our reaction. No, don't give everybody a ping pong ball.

1530
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 2: But all the teams that don't make the playoffs, yeah,

1531
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 2: they all get one back. There's one caveat let me

1532
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 2: throw this at there's one thing every time we talk

1533
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 2: about this that I think about. There though, all right,

1534
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 2: let's look at this play in tournament. Right, you got seven, eight, nine, ten,

1535
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 2: and they all get to play in this little mini tournament.

1536
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 2: If I'm the ten seed, which traditionally in the NBA

1537
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 2: has a five hundred or lower record, ain't no way

1538
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 2: in hell that team's going to go win a championship.

1539
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I would be surprised if they even go

1540
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 2: win a series. I know it's happened.

1541
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 3: I know that. You know the Warriors did it last year.

1542
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler's Miami Heat did it at a high level

1543
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 2: all the way to the finals.

1544
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 4: Lakers went to the conference finals from the play.

1545
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 2: In But what would stop the bad team that's in

1546
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 2: the play in tournament? If I'm Portland this year the

1547
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 2: thirty and thirty four and I'm in that playing tournament,

1548
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't I kind of want to lose and go get

1549
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:04,360
Speaker 2: an equal shot?

1550
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 4: Well yeah, but that's coming down to one gamepose to yep,

1551
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 4: February to April.

1552
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 2: It's good answer, that's true. Plus that, I mean, like

1553
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 2: the embarrassment level would be quite high. Yeah, you know

1554
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 2: those are those are very those games are paid attention to.

1555
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are. You know what I mean by everybody

1556
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 4: what exactly? So yeah, I mean like it'll fix itself

1557
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 4: if you just put the guidelines for it to start working.

1558
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there we fixed it.

1559
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:51,360
Speaker 4: We did it just like that.

1560
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 2: Okay, man, all right, well, I'll tell you what We're

1561
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 2: going to keep on rolling. Steve de Sega in fifteen minutes.

1562
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 2: If you're a quarterback needy team, then I would do

1563
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 2: this this offseason. I'll fill that blank in coming up next.

Speaker 2: You search Fox Sports Radio in the iHeart App and poof,

1582
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 2: there we are. I really wonder how the quarterback position

1583
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 2: is going to go. It's not considered a great quarterback draft,

1584
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,640
Speaker 2: but there are a few teams out there, Ephraim, and

1585
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear kind of your assessment on it.

1586
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 3: If they're in.

1587
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 2: Position to get a rookie quarterback, like the Raiders are great,

1588
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 2: that's what they'll do. But if you're out there and

1589
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 2: you're thinking we're going to compete this year, but we

1590
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,640
Speaker 2: also don't really know exactly who our quarterback.

1591
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 4: Is right now.

1592
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 3: I respectfully would like to tell you you're up a

1593
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 3: creek like you were just talking about the Indianapolis Colts

1594
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:39,639
Speaker 3: last hour. That's a great example. Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets,

1595
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota sounds like they're poking around,

1596
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:49,479
Speaker 3: although they're not completely moving off of JJ McCarthy. But

1597
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:53,560
Speaker 3: anybody who is thinking, let's get a veteran QB in

1598
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 3: here and let's see what we can do.

1599
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 2: Punt punting unit right now, because it like, just notice

1600
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,479
Speaker 2: the names that are getting thrown around, and you tell me, like,

1601
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 2: just forget the if and maybe they'll pop, kind of

1602
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 2: like Daniel Jones did before he got hurt last year.

1603
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 3: Like sure, maybe you get but does it do any

1604
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 3: of these names feel to you, like, dude, if we

1605
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:25,120
Speaker 3: get him, just plug him in and we're gonna cook.

1606
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 3: Does that feel that way with Kyler Murray or mac

1607
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:36,720
Speaker 3: Jones or Kirk Cousins or Tua or Geno Smith or

1608
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 3: even injured Daniel Jones to the point where we're freaking

1609
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:43,920
Speaker 3: out getting ready to hand out thirty million a year

1610
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 3: to Malik Willis, who I think through forty passes last year.

1611
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:56,719
Speaker 3: Maybe Wow, dude, call in the punting unit.

1612
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't let me go back to something you

1613
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:06,600
Speaker 4: said at the beginning of this Okay, you said this

1614
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 4: is not a strong quarterback class. Do you remember last

1615
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 4: year around this time, all the experts were saying that

1616
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 4: last year wasn't a strong quarterback class, but this one

1617
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 4: will be the one. Remember that.

1618
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 3: Yep, what happened, Like usual, life didn't go the way

1619
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 3: people thought it was gonna go.

1620
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, because god, people were punning and like, no, we're

1621
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 4: not gonna We'll just wait and next year's class is

1622
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 4: gonna be better. So are they saying that this year

1623
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:48,479
Speaker 4: that is not a strong quarterback class and next year

1624
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,720
Speaker 4: it's gonna be better because Archie Manning was at the

1625
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 4: top of everybody's Remember they were like, oh yeah, if

1626
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:57,400
Speaker 4: you got the first pick next year, it would be

1627
01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 4: Archie Manning. Well, Archie Manning's going back to school because

1628
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 4: our many realize that he can't play football in the

1629
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 4: NFL yet.

1630
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 3: He can't even play it at college.

1631
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 4: But anyway, right, And so I guess it puts you

1632
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:18,599
Speaker 4: in a tough situation because you don't know what's gonna

1633
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 4: happen next year's draft, of course not, or who will

1634
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,760
Speaker 4: be available or who's standing. Kids are staying in school

1635
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 4: now because they're getting paid a ton of money, and

1636
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 4: so it's got to change a little bit how you

1637
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:39,759
Speaker 4: evaluate what you're gonna do at the quarterback position.

1638
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 2: Well, I don't even want to take your comment, and

1639
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 2: let's review what we were told that last year was

1640
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 2: not a strong quarterback draft. I think jury like, you

1641
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,479
Speaker 2: can't tell yet on what's going on with cam Ward

1642
01:39:56,479 --> 01:40:04,560
Speaker 2: because what's around him is just not sufficient. I'm not

1643
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:10,680
Speaker 2: super high on him, but okay, and then if you

1644
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 2: do go back to last year's draft is actually shocking.

1645
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 2: Clearly people thought the draft was so bad. There were

1646
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 2: so few quarterbacks taken in the first three rounds of

1647
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 2: last year's NFL draft. I'm scanning this this right now.

1648
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 2: Do you know how many qbs were taken in the

1649
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 2: first three rounds of the NFL draft?

1650
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 4: Six?

1651
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 3: It was five, and two of them were with the

1652
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,760
Speaker 3: last five picks of the third round.

1653
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 2: And haven't really you know Jaln Milroe to Seattle, right,

1654
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 2: we didn't even see him, Dyllan Gabriel in Cleveland, whatever,

1655
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 2: like that didn't look great.

1656
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 3: But I don't even know what I'm supposed to think

1657
01:40:57,920 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 3: of that.

1658
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 2: There were only three quarterbacks who were picked in spots

1659
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 2: where you're like, we're expecting this person to possibly come

1660
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 2: in in play pretty soon, cam Ward and like, okay,

1661
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 2: Jackon Dart, Jackson Dart. Who like Jackson Dart? Don't you

1662
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 2: like Jackson Dart? I like Jackson Dart. And then you know,

1663
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,799
Speaker 2: at the back end of the season, I think suddenly

1664
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 2: made people go, huh is Tyler shuck?

1665
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1666
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:28,919
Speaker 4: Ah shucks?

1667
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 2: And he was early to mid second round. He was

1668
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 2: the third QB taken, So that awful QB draft. Maybe

1669
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 2: there weren't a lot of them, but I don't know, man,

1670
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:43,679
Speaker 2: we might have gotten three starters out of there.

1671
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 4: So what's the expectation of this one? Is my question?

1672
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:52,639
Speaker 4: I have not If that one wasn't supposed to be good,

1673
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:56,639
Speaker 4: right and we got three starters, what are we looking

1674
01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 4: at here? Obviously, Mendoza, is it uh with Adler's the

1675
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 4: kid from Penn State?

1676
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking to the wrong guy if you want

1677
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 3: like the order of this, But I can.

1678
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 4: You know, what's the kid from Alabama? Ty Simpson?

1679
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 3: Yep?

1680
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 2: Hang on right, Yeah, NFL QB kind of let's sure

1681
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 2: the current rankings right now, Mendoza is considered one, Ty

1682
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 2: Simpson is considered number two. You mentioned neus s Meyer,

1683
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 2: He's considered This is just according to ESPN, Carson Beck

1684
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:34,440
Speaker 2: with Miami.

1685
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,519
Speaker 4: He's played a lot of if you want experience, he's

1686
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:43,520
Speaker 4: played a lot of football. Exactly how many national championship

1687
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 4: games can you play in? Son?

1688
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,880
Speaker 2: That's and Drew Aler Cole Peyton from North Dakota State,

1689
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:54,600

1778
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 7: Tour today, Akshay Battilla was born in Los Angeles, parents

1779
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:01,759
Speaker 7: from India. His family moved fifteen years ago to wake Forest,

1780
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:06,479
Speaker 7: North Carolina. This guy, still young, yet again a PGA

1781
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 7: Tour winner because in a playoff he took the Arnold

1782
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 7: Palmer Invitational. He had been five shots behind at one

1783
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 7: point today and then made the charge and won the

1784
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 7: playoff against Daniel Berger. It was the first playoff at

1785
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:24,719
Speaker 7: Bayhill and Orlando since nineteen ninety nine, which is apparently

1786
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:27,679
Speaker 7: before this golfer was born. We don't need to dwell

1787
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 7: on that this was a signature event, which means twenty

1788
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 7: million dollar perse just like a live golf event and

1789
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:36,720
Speaker 7: a huge check to the winner. He gets it at

1790
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 7: age twenty four. He's into top twenty in the world

1791
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 7: now and the Masters is next month. He and Berger

1792
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 7: had finished at fifteen under par through regulation and then

1793
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 7: a better t shot for the eventual winner Batilla, and

1794
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 7: he takes home the prize. You know, Batilla with the comeback.

1795
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,560
Speaker 7: I gotta say also that Berger, and they'd mentioned this

1796
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:00,880
Speaker 7: on the telecast, has come through injury and was in

1797
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 7: a position to win wire to wire this weekend, which

1798
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 7: hasn't happened at Bayhill in a decade. He had a

1799
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 7: five shot league going into yesterday. He winds up losing

1800
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 7: in a playoff. Had missed eighteen months with a back

1801
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 7: injury after the twenty twenty two US Open, sofered a

1802
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:20,519
Speaker 7: broken finger last summer. Does get the consolation of a

1803
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 7: big second place check and a spot in the Open Championship.

1804
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 7: Moves up into the top forty, so we could see

1805
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,439
Speaker 7: Berger be seeing Berger at the Masters next month. But

1806
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 7: it's Akshay Battia the winner, and he gets four million

1807
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 7: dollars for these four days of golf. Berger, the runner

1808
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 7: up the difference of one playoff hole, gets about half

1809
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 7: that two point two mil, and the two guys that

1810
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 7: tied for third place one point two million dollars each.

1811
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:49,639
Speaker 7: On the Livgolf Tour, the stop was at Hong Kong.

1812
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 7: John Rahm the winner for the first time in about

1813
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 7: a year and a half. He finished twenty three under par,

1814
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 7: a three stroke advantage. He had been tied with a

1815
01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 7: couple of golfers for the league going into the final round.

1816
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 7: He said this one just feels like a big weight

1817
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 7: off my shoulders. Played really good all day, big weight

1818
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 7: off your shoulders.

1819
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: Okay, apparently stressful, his life, very very stressful. We'll see

1820
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:14,800
Speaker 2: how it works out. I'm rivet.

1821
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 7: My fingers are crossed. Apparently it had been four straight

1822
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 7: second place performances. And you know, poor guy on the

1823
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 7: live Golf tour they pay almost nothing, so why is

1824
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:25,760
Speaker 7: he even competing of that tour?

1825
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, and now he's got that sought after win that

1826
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 2: everybody holds in such high regard.

1827
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:32,920
Speaker 7: I mean he lived golf Hong Kong.

1828
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now everywhere he goes, he's a live golf Hong

1829
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 3: Kong champ.

1830
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:40,439
Speaker 7: That's going forgetting there. I know the trophy case, it's

1831
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,679
Speaker 7: probably going on the middle of the coffee table.

1832
01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 3: Can't escape that anyway.

1833
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 7: A four million dollar check for winning a live golf event,

1834
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:49,439

1836
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 7: half million, even a veteran golfer. I don't believe I'm wrong.

1837
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:59,719
Speaker 7: This guy's over fifty years old. Lee Westwood finished tied

1838
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 7: for or eighteenth place. All the guys that tied for

1839
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 7: eighteenth get almost a quarter of the million dollars from

1840
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 7: the folks that live golf, who will be back in

Speaker 7: action in Singapore next weekend and then in South Africa

1842
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 7: the week after that. Staying in Florida is the PGA

1843

Speaker 7: Tour Players Championship is next weekend. Then the vells Bar

1844
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,559
Speaker 7: the Master's Tournament at Augustus starts April the ninth.

1845
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:28,600
Speaker 3: Back to you, quick question for you both, How exciting

1846
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:35,000
Speaker 3: is winning something like Steve just mentioned a trophy.

1847
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 2: What if you already had a house full of trophies,

1848
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 2: would that trophy still be? Like we talked so much

1849
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:47,799
Speaker 2: about these live victories, right, I think four million dollars?

1850
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: How exciting is four million dollars when you were given

1851
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 2: three hundred million.

1852
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 3: Just to be there?

1853
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 7: I think it's like Lebron James life. He just wants

1854
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 7: to keep adding the millions because he just wants to

1855
01:51:58,360 --> 01:51:58,880
Speaker 7: buy a team.

1856
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 3: Sure, and like I get it. I rich people still

1857
01:52:02,080 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 3: like money and that's fine. There's no I'm not.

1858
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,880
Speaker 7: I'm reading between the lines on this quote from John

01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:09,559
Speaker 7: ram I think he just wanted to finish first again, yep.

1860
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:11,720
Speaker 7: I think it's as simple as that.

1861
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:14,479
Speaker 2: Like from when you get a million dollars, does it

1862
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:15,759
Speaker 2: even register anymore.

1863
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 4: It registers.

1864
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:21,759

1865
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 7: two million, Yeah.

1866
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 3: Exactly, look at that. Don't let it fall out of

01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:25,679

01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 4: Where's your money?

1931
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 7: There's your money to sell them for ten next weekend. Therefore,

1932
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:29,480
Speaker 7: it's all business in his head.

1933
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,880
Speaker 3: Now, it's all business. I don't know what happened. I'm like, buddy,

Speaker 4: just want to cushion.

1937
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 2: That's right, as opposed to his big brother and sister,

1938
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 2: who I'm like reminiscing because fifteen years ago, you know,

1939
01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:51,520
Speaker 2: twelve years ago, they went out front with a table

1940
01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 2: to do a lemonade stand, and I asked him, I said,

1941
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:54,720
Speaker 2: how much would you like to charge?

1942
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 3: And they said, we would like to charge.

1943
01:55:56,600 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 2: Nothing free lemonade, and they wrote that all over pieces

1944
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,600
Speaker 2: of paper and hung it all over the block, free lemonade.

1945
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 3: Guess what they're playing chess?

1946
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 2: Because what do you think people walked by and saw

1947
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 2: the cute little free lemonade kids.

1948
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:14,800
Speaker 3: What do you think they did?

1949
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 4: Timtom?

1950
01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:19,160
Speaker 3: They said, here's the twenty you cute little kids. Wow,

1951
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 3: they made an ungodly amount of money.

1952
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 4: Man, you got some geniuses over there.

1953
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 3: All right.

1954
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:30,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if they were ahead of the game

1955
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 2: or not, if they just got lucky, but whatever.

1956
01:56:32,840 --> 01:56:35,840

1970
01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 2: sun has expired here in the west, and so we

1971
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 2: have a final tally on the lemonade stand. And there

1972
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 2: was a buzzer beater young man was out front packing

1973
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:32,880
Speaker 2: up and somebody who does the normal thing that people

1974
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 2: do when they walk by a lemonade say.

1975
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, I don't know any cash with me? Oh

1976
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 3: come back.

1977
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 2: Then they usually don't, but someone did, so we can

1978
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:46,839
Speaker 2: update the total from seventeen to nineteen.

1979
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 3: Ephraim nineteen, Yeah, thineteen. That's that's the final tally. Nice

1980
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 3: not bad for nice sitting on your driveway.

1981
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:03,000
Speaker 2: But that game that Steve was talking about, the final

1982
01:58:03,120 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 2: tallly of that Spurs Rockets game one forty five, Remember

1983
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 2: when the Rockets were good at defense? One forty five

1984
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 2: to one twenty wem ben Yama is a plus twenty seven.

1985
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 2: The problem he goes nine to thirteen from the field

1986
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 2: twenty nine points, eight rebounds, four blocks, does not turn

1987
01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:31,760
Speaker 2: the ball over, not once. I love this Spurs team.

1988
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 2: I think they're ahead of schedule. Meantime, Houston Rockets, something's missing.

1989
01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:42,720
Speaker 2: Remember last year they were the two seed. They got

1990
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:47,160
Speaker 2: knocked out in seven games by the Warriors. Not your

1991
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 2: average seven seed obviously, but everyone said the same thing

1992
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:57,240
Speaker 2: about wow, this team, they're long, they played great defense.

1993
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 2: If they just had that end of the game score,

1994
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:04,040
Speaker 2: that veteran presence that they could hand the ball to

1995
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 2: and lean on, then they're a finished product. So they

1996
01:59:07,520 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 2: went got Kevin Durant and I've watched them a lot

1997
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks. What do you see, man,

1998
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:15,200
Speaker 2: Something is still not right.

1999
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:23,240
Speaker 4: I don't think they have any leadership. We know Kevin

2000
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 4: Durant is not a leader when it comes to that.

2001
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:30,040
Speaker 4: They got a bunch of young kids who can really play,

2002
01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 4: real athletic but there's no you know who was supposed

2003
01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 4: to be the leader.

2004
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant, No, well, Dylan Brooks.

2005
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 4: Nope, he hasn't played because he got hurt. Came from Toronto.

2006
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 4: Fred van Vliet, yep, that was supposed to be the leader. Yeah, yeah,

2007
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 4: I miss going point. And so they don't really have

2008
02:00:02,360 --> 02:00:03,120
Speaker 4: an identity.

2009
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Well, and there's also all that stuff that we don't

2010
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:10,720
Speaker 2: really know about, right, which is like that burner account

2011
02:00:10,800 --> 02:00:14,480
Speaker 2: stuff just up and went away. Yeah, but I would

2012
02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:18,080
Speaker 2: when he didn't deny it when given the opportunity.

2013
02:00:18,120 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, so that's a confirmation. And how do

2014
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 3: you think that landed in the locker road?

2015
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 4: Told you it didn't play well in locker room at all.

2016
02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:36,200
Speaker 3: At all? Didn't play well at all? Then I'm sure

2017
02:00:36,240 --> 02:00:43,520
Speaker 3: it didn't. How would it, you know? So it's good

2018
02:00:43,560 --> 02:00:48,040
Speaker 3: observation on your part. And the Houston Rockets, who right

2019
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:53,800
Speaker 3: now are currently they've moved down, they fell behind Minnesota.

2020
02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:57,040
Speaker 3: They're a half game out there, four seed right now.

2021
02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 3: I I do not see them as much.

2022
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 4: Of a of a threat, and I you know, I

2023
02:01:06,160 --> 02:01:06,960
Speaker 4: want doesn't either.

2024
02:01:07,240 --> 02:01:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly that that My dog is saying that that

2025
02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 2: that that's what she thinks of the Rockets.

2026
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:20,200
Speaker 3: She thinks they are missing the doll. Get them, no doll.

2027
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:21,640
Speaker 3: Getting all right man.
