Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be, the way football should

15
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: be talked about. Coach played written about. He's the one

16
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: and only mister Bucky Brooks. Hello, Buck how are you?

17
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 4: I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. What's going on? Andy?

18
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: You sound like a million? You look like ten million?

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: You really do. I can't wait. Football is right around

20
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: the corner. You gotta be salivating, salivating.

21
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: Really, I know you are, I know you are. I

22
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: see Yeah, yeah, I know you are.

23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 5: All right.

24
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: Look, I would say this to football. Everybody goes crazy football.

25
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Let's face it, football took off. You know when football

26
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: took off? You know it not because of the players.

27
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: Not because of the TV. It took up because of

28
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: fantasy football. That's what it really skyrocketed, it really did.

29
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta believe that's the key. Don't you

30
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: agree with that?

31
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 6: I mean, it certainly played a big role in it

32
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 6: because what he did, it brought everybody in outside of

33
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 6: your team. You could watch games because you had an interest, players, points,

34
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 6: all of that other stuff.

35
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. But I will say this.

36
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: You know, no sports talk show, no host or hosts

37
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: sweet or without any credibility, if they didn't start talking

38
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: about the one and only Caitlin Clark. You know, I

39
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: can't believe it, but it's true. That's what it's all

40
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: about right now. And did you see the WNBA All

41
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: Star voting came out just the other day, right? I

42
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: mean they had the Las Vegas ass Asia Wilson, no

43
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: doubt about that.

44
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: She's got to be an old star.

45
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: And of course Indiana Fever teammate, the teammates Caitlin Clark

46
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: and the Layah Boston, those are the top three in

47
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: fan voting. Two to three are on the Olympic team,

48
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: all right. And I don't want to bang this to death,

49
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: but look, I don't get it. I get that Wilson

50
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: she got two hundred and seventeen thousand votes, Caitlin clock

51
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: two under sixteen thousand and change, and Boston at like

52
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy one thousand. I get that, okay,

53
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: But the point is this, you got Wilson the two

54
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: time MVP. She leads the league in scoring almost like

55
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: twenty eight points a game. She also leads the league

56
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 2: in rebounding about almost eleven games eleven in a game,

57
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: and Clark the number one draft picks. She's third in

58
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: the league and assists. Look, the stats are there, the

59
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: voting is there, and more than that, she brings eyeballs

60
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: and money. And I still don't get it. I don't

61
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: understand why she was left off the team. I know

62
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: it's a learning process, and people say she has to wait,

63
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: wait your turn, What would would you know? I want

64
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: her to put this to rest. But when I saw

65
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: the All Star voting, I started scratching in my head.

66
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: I say, there's only one person on God's Green Earth

67
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: could give me an answer to this, and that's Bucky Brooks.

68
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I'm gonna give you the same answer.

69
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: I love her popularity she's great for the fans, but

70
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 6: the Olympics aren't about fandom. You have to earn your way.

71
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 6: That's the reason why they have the Olympic Trials. In

72
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 6: every other sport, she hasn't earned her way onto the

73
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 6: Olympic team. I mean, like, it's really as simple as that.

74
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 6: And the thing about the Olympics, the Olympics have a

75
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 6: process in every sport where you have to qualify to

76
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 6: be on.

77
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: The Olympic team. Man Clayton Clark is.

78
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 6: Phenomenal, like she is a Look, she's a brilliant basketball player.

79
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 6: She's done really good things with the ball in the hand.

80
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 6: But I don't know if she's one of the twelve

81
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 6: best players in the United States just because everyone feels

82
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 6: the derinted to go see her. She is a phenomenon,

83
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 6: and I give her credit for being a phenomenon, but

84
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: much like Tim Tebow was, a phenomenon doesn't always translate

85
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 6: to being the best player on a given team. And

86
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 6: so I think she has plenty of Olympic opportunities in

87
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 6: her future, but this year, she's not one of twelve

88
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 6: best ladies in the country.

89
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: Okay, now, now I checked on this deal.

90
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: I said, wait, a second, I'm looking at the voting

91
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: and she's right there, almost neck to neck with Asia Wilson.

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: I said, well, who's doing the voting, because that's the

93
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: key right there. The All Stars are picked by a

94
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: combination of voting from fans, So that that's the key

95
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: right there. If fifty percent of the votes are from

96
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: the fans, I get it now, I know why. You

97
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: know Caitlin's getting all those votes fifty percent with the fans.

98
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: But current NBAWNBA players they get twenty five percent of

99
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: the vote and the media gets twenty five percent of

100
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: the vote. So the other fifty percent you gotta believe

101
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: kind of helped her a little bit. But the fans,

102
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: I guess, were the ones that put her over the top.

103
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: That's the key right there, because, as you say, it's

104
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: more of a popularity contest when fans vote than anything else.

105
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: They didn't look at stats. It's popularity.

106
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: You got people voting who probably never saw a WNBA

107
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: game in their life.

108
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 6: Well, I mean there's some of that, and I'm not

109
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 6: saying that she's not the best player, but you got

110
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 6: to remember, like they tried to put the best team,

111
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 6: and the best teams aren't necessarily twelve of the best

112
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 6: players playing together, is how all the pieces of the

113
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 6: puzzle work. And because of her frame, because of the

114
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 6: physicality in the international game for the women, she could

115
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 6: have a tougher time being able to hold up.

116
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 4: Yes, she's a deadly accurate shooter.

117
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 6: But when it comes to defense and ball handling and

118
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 6: all of those other things like that has to be

119
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 6: accounted for. And so so much of the Caitlin Clark

120
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 6: conversation is exhausting because everyone sees her fill it up.

121
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 6: But what few people recognize or appreciate is, Look, the

122
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 6: women that she's playing against in the WNBA are dominant players,

123
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: and twelve that they picked on the Olympic team are

124
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 6: the best that we can see in the world.

125
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: This team has won I think.

126
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 6: Seventh straight Olympic goals sixty six and three in the

127
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 6: tournament in the format that they've been in. So look,

128
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 6: they've done something right. There's nothing wrong with their selection process.

129
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 6: She hasn't been available to compete in the camps and

130
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 6: try out. I don't think it's a look. I don't

131
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 6: think it's fair just to hand her a spot without

132
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 6: her earning it, like if everyone else has had to

133
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 6: earn the right to be on the team. We shouldn't

134
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 6: give her a spot just because she's the most popular

135
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 6: lady in the country.

136
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: That's not fair.

137
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: Okay.

138
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, and there's gonna be Olympics

139
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: down the road for her as well. But I will

140
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: say this, I give her a lot of credit because

141
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: she's handled it professionally. She really as she wasn't wanting,

142
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: she wasn't crying. And we had a caller I think

143
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: like the last week saying that she really wants to

144
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: play for the Olympics, find out her heritage and maybe

145
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: she could play for that country. That to me is

146
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: kind of far fetched. But she didn't even do that.

147
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: She's USA all the way, I'm sure, and one day

148
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: she will probably play for the USA Olympic team. And

149
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: I think that she was didn't we talk about this?

150
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: That wasn't she put like as an alternate? So if

151
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: someone got hurt, I thought Britney Grinder gave up her

152
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: spot and now she's on the team. So what's happening

153
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: with that? I can't follow up and then find anything

154
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: about that. But Brittany Grinder said she's no longer on

155
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: the team. They said maybe because of the toe injury

156
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: that she had, and I thought that she was put

157
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: on the team as an alternate Caitlyn Clark.

158
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, if you're an ATIN, they give you an

159
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: opportunity to get on there.

160
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 6: But once again, it's a situation where like the last

161
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: thing is to feel like you've been bullied to place

162
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 6: Caitlin Clark on the thing that does no one any good,

163
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: that doesn't do Kaitlin Clark good, doesn't do the USA

164
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 6: any good to have a lady on the team who

165
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 6: wasn't there based on her marriage.

166
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: If it's just because of popularity, and then look, there

167
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: are a lot.

168
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: Of people that would be on teams based on popularity,

169
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: but it's not that and we can't And like, I'm

170
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 6: kind of baffled because we are a country that always

171
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 6: likes for people to earn their way.

172
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: We don't like given handouts.

173
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 6: We want everyone to like have the scratching claw, and

174
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 6: that's the American way.

175
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: Well, the American way is for her.

176
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 6: To scratch and claw to make her way onto the team,

177
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 6: because that is the American story. It's not the American

178
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 6: story to be like, oh, Caven Clark, we like you,

179
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 6: We're gonna put you on.

180
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: That's not the way it's supposed to get down in

181
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: our country. There you go.

182
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: No, look, I brought up Kaitlyn Klapp because I thought

183
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: the eyeball effect would really push you over the top

184
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: of the NBC Probably a would upset that she's not

185
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: on the Olympic t because I talk about eyeballs.

186
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, but no, but now the eyeballs. Now, the eyeballs,

187
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 6: that's not a USA thing. That's an NBC thing. So

188
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 6: like that's the thing because when everyone talks about like

189
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 6: the exposure and all that, like, yeah, that's great, but

190
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 6: that's not the country. That's not the that's not part

191
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 6: of the process when it comes to the Olympic selection committee,

192
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 6: that's not it. Now that's for NBC, And like I'm

193
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 6: sure they won't box officer to have her there. But

194
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 6: then what happens is if she's on the team, are

195
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 6: now we're dealing with like why is Kaitlyn Clark playing?

196
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 6: Why she only played two minutes she should be playing

197
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: twelve minutes. Well, you know, like there's a lot of

198
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 6: other stuff that comes along with it, and much like

199
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: the distraction, I think Tim Tebow is the best example

200
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 6: when it comes to the fanaticism that goes over Kaitlyn Clark,

201
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 6: Like when you have her on the team.

202
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: There comes a lot of other stuff that you have

203
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: to be ready to deal with.

204
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: I know you're exactly right now.

205
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: And I brought up eyeballs because the viewership, and I said,

206
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: who's watching? But we had to open up the seven

207
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: with that. Viewership of the NBA Finals was down three

208
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: percent this year. Overall NBA playoff viewership was down twelve percent.

209
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: The five game Celtic Mavericks series average eleven point three

210
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: million viewers across ABC and ESPN. Game three had an

211
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: ESPN Alti cast added to the number. Of course, that

212
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: is down, but get this, that's down from eleven point

213
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: six million for the five game Nuggets Heat series last year,

214
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: both on ABC and ESPN.

215
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: Two. What's happening? There's no interest in the NBA is

216
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: a too long?

217
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: I can't figure that out, And I guess I mean

218
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: the NBA in my mind right now, and I love basketball.

219
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: I love the NBA, but I think the NBA is

220
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: morphed now into a regional sport rather than the national sport.

221
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: If you don't live in an NBA city, no one

222
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: cares about the NBA. I live in a non NBA city.

223
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: I turned on the eleven o'clock news and the sports

224
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: they'll live a give an NBA score, no one cares.

225
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 7: No.

226
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's something to the regional part

227
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: of it.

228
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: And I'll be honest, like when it came to the finals,

229
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 6: like Boston and Dallas didn't necessarily move me, Like the

230
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 6: Miami Heat and the Nuggets moved me. But I'm Miami

231
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: Heat fan.

232
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 8: It.

233
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 6: You know, some of it comes down to like star

234
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 6: power in those things. So when we look at the

235
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 6: star power of the teams that played in the game,

236
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 6: like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are the stars, and

237
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 6: the Celtics on the other end, you have Cayrie Irving

238
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 6: and Luka Doncis. I don't know if any of those

239
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 6: people that we mentioned are needle movers. Whereas must see TV,

240
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 6: we gotta watch these guys because we love them so

241
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 6: much because of either their game, their talent or personality.

242
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 6: And when you have that and a very competitive environment

243
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 6: when it comes to TV watching, yeah, you may have

244
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 6: people that just kind of let me check out the score,

245
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 6: Oh okay, cool, It's like I thought it would be.

246
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go and do something else. That's what a

247
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 6: lot of people elected to do.

248
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: You know.

249
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: I think if anybody in the sports world has learned

250
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: anything from this Caitlin Clark situation, you got to realize

251
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: that I don't think people care about teams. I don't

252
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: think people care about one lost record. I think people

253
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: care about star power, wanting to see someone at box office.

254
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: And you look at the NBA Finals right now, and look,

255
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: I got they got two great players on the Celtics,

256
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown, but I just don't think they have

257
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: that spar the star power. They're not villains, by the way,

258
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: because you know, sometimes you tune in to see a

259
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: villain someone you did dislike. I mean, Lebron James fills

260
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: that role because he's a great player. People go see

261
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: him because he's great, but they also see him because

262
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: they want to root against him, just like back in

263
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: the day, Will Chamberlain was that way. He was great,

264
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: but people some people just didn't like him. So you know,

265
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: you have to have that situation. So in this series

266
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: and Luca right now, he's a great player, but nothing,

267
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no personality there with Lucas, So I

268
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: think that's the key, and I think that people who

269
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 2: own sports franchises will promote sports in some manner of

270
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: shape or form. You have to have a personality, and

271
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: that's where people come out to see him play. That's

272
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: the name of the game.

273
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like we love villains and heroes.

274
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 6: You know, we love to either watch our players liked

275
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 6: to things that we want to do because we adore them,

276
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 6: or we you know, love to hate on certain players.

277
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: But either way, which one way you I'm more of

278
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 6: a lover than a hater. Like I don't like I've

279
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 6: never really gotten the hater phenomenon, but I appreciate people's

280
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 6: talents in those things, and so like for me, it's

281
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 6: not about watching someone's demise. It's more so watching someone's

282
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 6: rise and ascension to the top. And I respect that.

283
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: But that's how like fans are. Like there are certain

284
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: fans who hate interposing vans based the stuff that popped

285
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 6: up regarding lamar Odom talking about hating to see Paul

286
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 6: Pierce walk around excited and happy because of balts of

287
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 6: Celtics have won. To me, that's not really I'm not

288
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 6: really built like that, but that is compelling for a

289
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 6: lot of people. To see to dance on somebody's grave,

290
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 6: and it works, and it's worked in TV. It's worked,

291
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 6: and you know the way we portray these things when

292
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 6: we create these narratives for heroes and villains, and it'll

293
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 6: continue to be a part of the TV landscape.

294
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: You know, as great as Steph Curry is, and he's

295
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: going to be a first ballot Hole of Famer when

296
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: he hangs it up. I still believe people went out

297
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: to see Golden State, not so much to see him,

298
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: but maybe to see Draymond Green. Really, I mean, he

299
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 2: was somewhat of a villay.

300
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 6: I think, yeah, but I think, but I think Steph

301
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 6: Curry is more like and I'm trying to be very

302
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 6: super respectful in that, I think Steph Curry's phenomenon was

303
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 6: very similar to Kitlyn Clark in terms of their game

304
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 6: is one that the common person that every man can

305
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 6: relate to. So for Steph Curry, it was kind of

306
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 6: it betrayed like this because the narrative was like, it's

307
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 6: to feel a good story, the little engine that could.

308
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: He's the underachiever. He was the overachiever.

309
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 6: Look at he came up from like humble beginnings, played

310
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 6: at Davidson didn't really play on a major state led

311
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 6: that team cilareto team on a run in the tournament,

312
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 6: goes to Golden State. He's not big, he's not overwhelmingly physical.

313
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 6: He can't overpower people with his share athleticism. But man,

314
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 6: look at his skill and try hard or whatever, not

315
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 6: really paying attention to the fact that he's the son

316
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 6: of an NBA player who played for a long time.

317
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 6: He had access to locker rooms and training and all

318
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 6: that other stuff. Steph Curry's game lured you in, and

319
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 6: the story around his game did it for Caitlyn Clark.

320
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 6: Her game lures you in because you do see the

321
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 6: logo threes, You see her hit bomb after bomb after bomb.

322
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 6: But then there's the as you called her, the all

323
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 6: American girl factor, right coming from the Midwest, playing at IOWA,

324
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 6: that fan base, that fandom, the way it expands, there's

325
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 6: a faction of the country that appreciates her because she

326
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 6: looks like them, you know, and so that is a

327
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 6: big part of the conversation when it comes to her,

328
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: and it to continue to be that. And look, it's

329
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 6: been great, they exposed to have been great for the WNBA.

330
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 6: I saw that they went to Atlanta and eighteen thousand

331
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 6: showed up to watch her play. The arena normally averages

332
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: thirty five hundreds of five thousand when that team plays

333
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 6: at home. So look, there's no denying that she's box office.

334
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 6: But when it comes to the Olympic team, she still

335
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 6: has to earn her way onto the squad.

336
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: You know, you make a great comparison with that Steph

337
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: currishit situation because I don't think Steph Curry maybe when

338
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: he was a senior in college, maybe he was on

339
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: TV Watch two three times Davidson. I mean, he just

340
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: fell through the crocks. He went to Davidson and at

341
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: least Caitlin Clark came into the WNBA with some background

342
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: TV to the NCAA tournament. Iowa was on TV a

343
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: lot of Big ten games. There was a Big ten network,

344
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: So you go follow her there.

345
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: But I don't think anybody really followed Steph Curry when

346
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: he was in college.

347
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 9: Davidson's never were on TV. Basketball wise, No, it was

348
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 9: a good story though. It was a good story. Once

349
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 9: they got up and going, they made a run. I

350
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 9: think they made to the sweet sixteen. He was shooting

351
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 9: the lights out. He was a one Man.

352
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 6: Show there and there was a bit of the feel

353
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 6: good but then you remember he got to the the NBA,

354
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 6: struggled with ankle injuries in those things, and his size.

355
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 6: He was so thin that he had a tough time

356
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: with the physicality, some of the same things that we

357
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 6: saw with Caitlin Clark. Steph Curry suffered through until he

358
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: built his body up and then he built his game

359
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 6: up to be able to overcome those things. Kaylen Clark

360
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: will do the same in the WNBA.

361
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny we talk about the playoffs down

362
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: twelve percent of viewership on the TV, but when all

363
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: is said and done, the numbers are down, but the

364
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: league is still expected to sign a new media rights

365
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: deal and talking about a big time deal maybe with

366
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: three networks, NBC maybe coming back in the fall doing

367
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: NBA basketball.

368
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: They talk about, you.

369
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: Know, TNT may not have it anymore, but there's gonna

370
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: be all the other networks vying to carry the NBA.

371
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: So I guess it's not so much ratings. It's like people,

372
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: I guess, and broadcasting. They need programming, that's what they need.

373
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: They need substance. I'm going on TV the other day

374
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: they got padda Bull, they got corn hole, they got

375
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: every freaking sport you want on TV.

376
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: I guess they want to fill it up. In the

377
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: NBAS fills it up pretty good.

378
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, the NBA does fill it up

379
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 6: pretty good. And you just don't know when the stars

380
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 6: are going to catch up and when the public is

381
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: going to catch up with the start and at some

382
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 6: point the viewing public will catch up with the young

383
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 6: generation of stars that are kind of beginning to flourish

384
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 6: in the NBA.

385
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: When you think about just.

386
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 6: Anthony Edwards and how excited we got over him during

387
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 6: the postseason and some of the other guys. Will continue

388
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 6: to see those guys emerge, Okay, see that team emerged.

389
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 6: We'll continue to see those teams emerge, and as we

390
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 6: get more comfortable with the new names and faces that

391
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 6: are at the top of the league, more and more

392
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 6: people would tune in to watching those people.

393
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: Let me ask you quickie, okay, because the NBA Draft

394
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: is going to be this week I think two days

395
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: Wednesday and Thursday, whatever it may be, and they're projecting

396
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: now like out of the top ten picks, there maybe

397
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: five or six foreign players. Can that in your mind

398
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: hurt the NBA because you can't relate to them. You've

399
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: never seen them prior really to coming to the league.

400
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: But at least college you follow their career in college,

401
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: and I see what's happened with Major League Baseball when

402
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: you got players from the Dominican the place in South America,

403
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 2: from Japan, whatever it may be.

404
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: I think it's difficult. I really believe it might be.

405
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: Would that hurt in your mind the NBA foreign players

406
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: coming to the league where either a they don't speak

407
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: English or you haven't seen them before.

408
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, the lack of familiarity prevents media groups

409
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 6: from building a story arc that works well for TV

410
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 6: because you don't know some of the guys that are

411
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 6: coming from these foreign countries. You only see them when

412
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 6: they get to the NBA, So it's hard to build

413
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 6: up to fandom before.

414
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 4: In anticipation of their arrival.

415
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 6: You have to see them, and yeah, like if they're homegrown,

416
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 6: if they're able to come through the ranks in college,

417
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 6: you do get an opportunity to see them, here about them,

418
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 6: develop an affinity for them where you want to watch them. Yeah,

419
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 6: So it's a late start for the foreigners, but it

420
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 6: doesn't prevent fans from jumping on the bandwagon at some point.

421
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 6: It's just that you don't have the buzz and hype

422
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 6: around the draft and those guys ahead of their.

423
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 4: Rookie seasons because no one is really familiar with the games.

424

Speaker 2: There you go, He's bucket Brooks. Get him on Twitter,

457
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 4: Up, morning, gentlemen, Morning, good, happy Sunday.

458
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 7: I was the one who brought up that t Bow

459
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 7: comparison last week and about the key Bow and Clark.

460
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 7: Here's my question for you this weekend. I haven't watch

461
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 7: an NBA game since the Golden State Warriors probably second

462
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 7: championship plan. I just can't watch all these three play

463
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 7: shots in the big men think of their guards anyway,

464
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 7: Here's what I want to get at. In nineteen eighty

465
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 7: we boycotted or protested the Olympic Games. Do you think

466
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 7: a young, twenty year romantic Johnson would have made that team?

467
00:20:59,480 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 12: Was?

468
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: That's an interesting question. What do you think, Buck?

469
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

470
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: I just I would say yes, I think he would

471
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 3: have made that team. I really do he.

472
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 6: Would have made the team, but didn't magic like that

473
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 6: year lead the Lakers to the championship his rookie year.

474
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 6: Didn't he play in Game six in place of Kareema

475
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 6: Adul Jabbor and put up like a crazy triple double

476
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 6: to get it done. He didn't win the MVP, but

477
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: he was already recognized as one of the best players

478
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 6: in the league. I think that comparison isn't necessarily the

479
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: same for Caitlyn Clark. I don't think Kaitlyn Clark is

480
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 6: MVP level of the league. She certainly hasn't led Indiana

481
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 6: to a championship. Doesn't appear she's going to lead them

482
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 6: to a championship, even though she has helped raise the

483
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 6: interest and intrigue and look helped him win more games

484
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 6: than they won previously. But yeah, I think it's a

485
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 6: little different in comparison in comparing Magic Johnson to her

486
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 6: in that debate.

487
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Magic Johnson, you know, as much

488
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: hype as Caitlyn has had. I think Magic had even

489
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: more coming into the bas had the battle. I mean,

490
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: she has a rece in college and she hasn't now

491
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: in the pros, but he had a little bird.

492
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much similar similar.

493
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 6: Labord also didn't make the team. Wouldn't made the team

494
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 6: either though.

495
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, You're right, exactly right, Randy, Thanks as always

496
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: hanging there, buddy, all right, and Kansas City we go.

497
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: Stevens the man on Fox Sports right here with Bucky Brooks.

498
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 13: Hello Stevens, Hey, Hey, good morning Angel versus Caitlyn Olie

499
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 13: Fraser round three.

500
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm getting a little tired of that

501
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: because I think what TV's kind of doing. It's like

502
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: when ESP used to kill you on Sundays with the

503
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: Yankees and the Red Sox.

504
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 13: Enough for ready, Okay, stop, I think what's happening here.

505
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 13: I agree with Ducky at one point is that what's

506
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 13: happening is that, Okay, Don Staley is on that committee.

507
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 13: She's a winner.

508
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 12: She knows that.

509
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 8: Like as already been said, by Christine Brennan from the

510
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 8: committee that they don't want to answer quit. Their job

511
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 8: is to win gold medal, to say all.

512
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 12: This all this stuff about growing the.

513
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 8: Game, that's great whatever. They haven't lost since the Dream Team,

514
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 8: since the original Dreen teams. They don't want any distraction

515
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 8: from from the issue to win a gold gold medal.

516
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 8: And the distraction would be, well, why is Caitlin Did

517
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 8: she play ten minutes when we beat New Zealand or whatever?

518
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 8: And I can I can totally understand that, but but

519
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 8: this is your your you get just imagine all the

520
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 8: jerseys you.

521
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 12: Could tell, you know, look at look at what's happening

522
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 12: in the in the w n b A right now.

523
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 7: They're they're they're trying.

524
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 12: They're getting heat for not protecting her. You know, the

525
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 12: the fever are good.

526
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 13: They have a ten year the ten year.

527
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 12: Best winning streak. Aliah Boston is getting good. That they

528
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 12: are cooking and and the problem is going to be

529
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 12: is how are you going to They can't sweep this

530
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 12: under the rug. I think she should go playing with

531
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 12: ice cube and the big got a ten million dollars

532
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 12: off for there.

533
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 2: Steve hold On though, first was I think that Buck

534
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: he brings up a pretty good point, the fact that

535
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: the distraction factor has nothing to do with it. She

536
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: deserve it as a player. The distraction factor. It's going

537
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: to be all about her, that's what they mean. I mean,

538
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: that's a major point. No one's going to come forth

539
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: and admit that. But I think that's a very interesting point, buck,

540
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: don't you think.

541
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 6: I mean, we've already made it about her and she's

542
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 6: not even on the team, right we're still having conversations

543
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 6: about her. And they released the squad like a month ago,

544
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 6: but we're still talking about Kaitlyn Clark being snubbed from

545
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 6: the team. That's the problem when it comes to the

546
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 6: Gett and Clark conversation, and I actually feel bad for her,

547
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 6: is that, you know, like she has been used as

548
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: kind of.

549
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 4: Like a political pawn.

550
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 6: And so some of the conversations are legitimate basketball conversations.

551
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 6: Others the parts of the conversation have nothing to do

552
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 6: with basketball, and it's more about like the device of

553
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 6: nature of being able to pick Kaylyn Clark versus others.

554
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: To her credit, she has handled it phenomenally well, like

555
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 6: her professionalism, the way that she deflects, the way that

556
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 6: she handles all those things. Look it's teaching tape in

557
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 6: terms of how to handle some of the stuff that

558
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 6: she's been thrown in. But when it comes to the

559
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 6: game and the women's game and the WNBA and Kaitlyn Clark,

560
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 6: she certainly has had a great impact on it, but

561
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 6: I would say that her class mates have also had

562
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 6: a great impact on it, Cameron Brink, Andel Reese, some

563
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: of the other ladies that have made their way. Because

564
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 6: I had a conversation with a former women's basketball coach

565
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 6: he's now an administrator at the D one level, and

566
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 6: she talked about this part and how Cleaveland Clark has

567
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: certainly raised the exposure and attention, but people are have

568
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 6: missed how good the WNBA is and how good some

569
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 6: of the ladies are around the league. And it's funny

570
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 6: because no one talks about Sabrina who plays for the

571
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 6: New York Liberty. But Sabrina was Kaitlin Clark before Kaitlyn

572
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 6: Clark was Skitland Clark in terms of her three point

573
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 6: shooting and those but for whatever reason, an esco but

574
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 6: like people don't talk about her even though when you

575
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 6: watch her game, their games are similar and she hits

576
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 6: the three ball at a remarkable pace. In fact, in

577
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 6: the what the All Star Game, her and Steph Curry

578
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 6: going back and forth shooting threes. So it's to me,

579
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 6: it's just interesting that Claitland Clark has been the one

580
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 6: that has been picked and anointed when there's so many

581
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 6: others who are also worthy and deservant of the conversation.

582
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: There you go ahead with roll on right now.

583
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: He's Bucket Broke and Andy Ferhnan, by the way, coming

584
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,520

585
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: You know what, they may be changing their address. That

586
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: is next. But first, Kevin Wyantt, how's your sport?

587
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

588
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 14: It was a full day of baseball action on a Saturday.

Speaker 14: home run of the season to help starting pitcher Tyler

593
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 14: Glass Now, who also gave a great performance, won on

594
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 14: run in seven innings, ten strikeouts just seventy four pitches

595
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 14: as he picks up the victory. The Yankees beat the

596
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 14: Braves eight three. Aaron Judge hitch his twenty eighth home

597

598
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 14: win on a walk off pitchclock violation as it was

599
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 14: Kyle Ferguson on the left mound for the Washington Nationals,

600
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 14: bases loaded bottom of the ninth in with three balls

601
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 14: on the count, didn't get the pitch off in time,

602
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 14: so the violation was called and the Rockies get to

603
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 14: come home for the winning run to win at eight

604
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 14: to seven. Padres on a roll they've won four straight games.

605
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 14: They beat the Brewers six to four. The Astros also

Speaker 14: six o'clock Eastern and that can be seen over on Fox.

627
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 14: In the European side of things, Belgium blanks Romania two nail,

Speaker 14: Portugal shutting out Turkey three and nil in the Czech

00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 14: Republic and Georgia tie at one goal a piece.

630
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 5: Back to you, guys, it sounds.

631
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: Like bod'm berrel betting over there. All right, we move

632
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: along now, just another case of corporate greed.

633
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: Will move along. He's Bucket Brooks.

634
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Furman, and I tell you what I want

635
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: to get back over here with this. When I said,

636
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: this guy's gotta be kidding, I'll talk about your guy,

637
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Okay, he just signed the biggest contract in

638
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: the franchise history with Jacksonville, and that's the third largest

639
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: amount of fully guaranteed money in NFL history. And he

640
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: said he doesn't really think he's going to feel any

641
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: added pressure, And I say, bull, bull, you don't think

642
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: he's getting extra pressure on that. First of all, he

643
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: better gets some extra pressure because is year three. And

644
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: he better produce because he came in there fairly heralded

645
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. And now with this big money,

646
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, the salary's going to pay him

647
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: what he's got a thirty seven and a half million

648
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 2: dollars signing bonus. Is he gonna give him fifty five

649
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: million dollars a year? And that ties in with the

650
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who really and truly he's been

651
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: rather quiet in Cincinnati about his contract than what it

652
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: means to him.

653
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: But when Trevor Lawrence came out and said, you know what,

654
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: I don't feel any pressure with it, Are you kidding?

655
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: Come on, he's got to be feel pressure.

656
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: You got to produce anyway, and now what they added

657
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: money added to it?

658
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: Come on, don't you think that buck? Really what's he

659
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: talking about?

660
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: Well, what's the pressure you feel when the check clears

661
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 6: on the first and the fifteenth at the amount that

662
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 6: we're talking about, there's not the same kind of pressure

663
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 6: that you're talking about. Yeah, does he have like high expectations,

664
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 6: Yeah he does. He'll be more on the national scene

665
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 6: because now they'll points to the contract and whether the

666
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: Jaguars should have, should not, shouldn't have paid Trevor Lawrence.

667
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 6: But for him internally, nah, there's no pressure. There's a

668
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 6: sense of relief because you've secured the bag. You have

669
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 6: the financial freedom that you've always wanted. Now it could

670
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 6: be a lot easier for Trevor Lawrence because he simply

671
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 6: has to go play. He doesn't have to worry about

672
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 6: all that other stuff. He's freed from from those things

673
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 6: in terms of getting the big deal, setting the family

674
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 6: up for life and all of that. Now he has

675
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 6: an opportunity to play freely and not worry about that stuff.

676
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: That's it.

677
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 6: It's a little naive for him to think that, oh,

678
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 6: I can sign this big deal and it doesn't raise

679
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 6: the scrutiny around his game.

680
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: It doesn't add and tighten the.

681
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 6: Screws on him in terms of like winning performances, super

682
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 6: Bowl appearances, and those things down in Jacksonville. He has

683
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 6: those expectations, but the truth is no one on the

684
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 6: outside should have great expectations than he has for himself.

685
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: So if he.

686
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 6: Has like high standards, the outside expectations won't matter that well.

687
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: I will say this.

688
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: You talk about a guy like Rock Party who was

689
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 2: accompassed so much with so little of a salary, and

690
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: I think that yet it's pressure. I'll be telling you

691
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: put the uniform on on a Sunday.

692
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: This pressure. But you have added pressure when you get

693
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: big money.

694
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: Because I don't think anybody's could looking at Rock Party

695
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: saying well he makes X amount of dollars, he better produce.

696
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: What he did was almost scary because he makes I

697
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: think he makes under a million. Does he make something

698
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: like seven hundred thousand, seven hundred and fifty thousand, something

699
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 2: like that, eight hundred thousand sols.

700
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a million. So the pressure factors contract.

701
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the pressure factor is just the game itself, not

702
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: not having to produce because of the money they're paying

703
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: you to play the game.

704
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: There's a difference over there.

705
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: I think there's an added pressure an The good news

706
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: for Trevor Lawrence and I think you'll agree, the fact

707
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: that they got a receiver now in the draft and

708
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior that's going to help him on They

709
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: got what Gabe Davis, they got him, They got some

710
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: players over, they got people surrounding him ATN in the

711
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,239
Speaker 2: running back situation, Travis ATN that's going to help him

712
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: as well. So I think they could get it done.

713
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: But here's a guy who has something like fifty to

714
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: sixty turnovers in his first three years, and he had

715
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: an NFL high in twenty twenty three, twenty one turnovers

716
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: in fourteen iron ts.

717
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that's growing pains.

718
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he's got to turn it around,

719
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: and now with the money there, he better turn it around.

720
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has to turn around. That is the kryptonite

721
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 6: to his game right now. He's ability to take care

722
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 6: of the ball consistently. Too many turnovers, too many erarors

723
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 6: in the red zone that have cost the Jaguars points

724
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 6: in those things, and as a young player, you got

725
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 6: to work that out of him, and that's one of

726
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 6: the things that I'm sure Doug Peterson and the coaching

727
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 6: staff will continue to work on when it comes to

728
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 6: Trevor ball security and situational awareness. That said, you can't

729
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 6: dispute the talent. The guy is immensely talented, one of

730
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 6: the most talented quarterbacks to enter our league. And sometimes

731
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 6: he is one of those guys who has the sized,

732
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 6: athleticism and the arm talent to be a superstar in

733
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 6: this league. But he has to play at that level.

734
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 4: Well.

735
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 6: Now, all eyeballs are on him, and if he turns

736
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 6: in the performance that you expect once you pay him

737
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 6: that kind of money, he'll earn all of that and

738
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 6: he will be regarded as one of those top quarterbacks

739
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 6: in the league. And the weapons around him are sufficient,

740
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 6: and in fact, like removing Calvin Ridley and replaced him

741
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 6: with Gabe David and Brian Thomas, bounces out the wide

742
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 6: receiver cord a little bit and it may make them

743
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 6: a little tougher to defend. So I'm excited to see

744
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 6: what it looks like. But Trevor also has to know

745
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 6: that once you put the pin to pad on that

746
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 6: kind of deal, everything that you do is going to

747
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 6: be subject to tense criticism and scrutiny.

748
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to make this clear, but I

749
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: don't care if the guy makes a billion dollars. I

750
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: love the game of football, and I hope he makes

751
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: everything he can make because these guys are looking, Look,

752
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: it's your career could end every Sunday. You know that

753
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: you play the game, So I don't wish any harm.

754
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 2: I don't want to see any injuries and make as

755
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: much money as you can. I'm just saying what he

756
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: said was a foolish remark. There's no pressure.

757
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 4: You know.

758
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: I would have loved to see him stand at the

759
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: podium and say, I appreciate the money giving me.

760
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 3: I hope I could earn all of it, something something

761
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: to that effect.

762
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: That would have been a lot better than just saying, like,

763
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: you know, there's no way of pressure, because I think

764
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: that's a foolish remark.

765
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. That's all I lifel well.

766
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean it may be a little naive

767
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 6: for him to say that, but I mean, if that's

768
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 6: what he thinks, I appreciate him just sharing what he thinks.

769
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 4: You know, he has to understand. Yeah, that's cool.

770
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 6: That you feel like that, but you're gonna have to

771
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 6: make sure that you play at a high level to

772
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 6: be able to you make people forget that you signed

773
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 6: for so much money.

774
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: There you go.

775
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman. We are Fox Sports

776
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,960

777
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,720

Speaker 3: And away we go.

784
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: It's time for ask Bucky. Now Here we roll as

785
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: a man of color, mister Brooks. After watching Major League

786
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: Baseballs game Thursday night at Birmingham's historic rick Wood Field

787
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: in front of about eighty three hundred fans, and I

788
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on that game.

789
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: I thought it was wonderful.

790
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was wonderful.

791
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 6: I thought it was great to recognize all the Negro

792
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 6: Baseball League stars and all the players that to kind

793
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 6: of come through their journey.

794
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: I thought, what was really telling.

795
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 6: Coming out of all of that was something that happened

796
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 6: before the game, and that's Reggie Jackson talking to.

797
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 4: The crew and just telling his story.

798
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 6: Reggie Jackson was one of my heroes coming up anti

799
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 6: hear him talk about the struggles and how hard it

800
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 6: was for him to endure all the things they need

801
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 6: to do or playing in the South. To me, had

802
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 6: it sent my cat. But it also was a reminder

803
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 6: of how far the country has come by how far

804
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 6: the country still has yet to.

805
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: Go, and what I love more than anything else. I

806
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: understand that twenty five percent of the total eighty three

807
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: hundred seats that was sold went to the locals in

808
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: the in the Birmingham community, which is great. And when

809
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 2: they panned the screen, they showed there were African Americans

810
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: as well as whites in the stands, which was wonderful.

811
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: That was the best part.

812
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: And also I think in the fifth inning they went

813
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: to all black and white on TV back of like

814
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: a nineteen fifty four, So it was a wonderful production.

815
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 3: I just loved it, and I think baseball needs to

816
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 3: do more of that.

817
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it was cool. It was cool to see

818
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 4: all that.

819
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 6: It's cool to have the conversation about, you know, the

820
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 6: contributions of blacks in baseball, and hopefully we'll see a

821
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 6: day where that kind of continues and that comes back,

822
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 6: particularly on the eat, like following Willie Mayze's death, to

823
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 6: be able to put all that together in that game,

824
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 6: look had off to tip of the hat to MLB.

825
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, now, Charles Barkley claims he'll retire from

826
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 2: television after the NBA season back in twenty twenty five.

827
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 3: True, a false? Bucky Brooks.

828
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 6: That Charles Barkley retires. I think he takes a little sabbatical.

829
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 6: I think he disappears. But look, the bright lights in

830
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 6: the big stage are two. Look, they're too appealing. He

831
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 6: finds a way back. He just may not be in

832
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 6: the same capacity that he was in in previous years.

833
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's too good not to be on TV and TV.

834
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: What's gonna throw some big bucks at him?

835
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: All right? Now?

836
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Bill Belichick getting a twenty four year

837
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: old cheerleader?

838
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 6: I mean, Bill Belichick do the thing? Do you think

839
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 6: he never looked happier? Bill Belichick is doing well. Look,

840
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 6: this is commonplace now. Twenty four is I would say

841
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 6: a lot young for the age range. But look, you

842
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 6: see guys like after they have their breakup older guys. Yeah,

843
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 6: they're not going and dating someone to age. They're gonna

844
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 6: date like a younger, fitter version of what's available on

845
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 6: the market. So kudos and Bill Belichick for somehow getting

846
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 6: it done with a twenty four year old.

847
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: Okay, now, is it better that Belichick's dating her now

848
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: that he's not coaching? How bad would it be? What

849
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: kind of flack would he get if, in fact he

850
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 2: was still coaching. Now, flack maybe from the players. That

851
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: may be more so for the media.

852
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, the players will give me a hard time. Look,

853
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 6: I don't think the media would say much of anything

854
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 6: because that's typically been off the table when it comes

855
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 6: to talking about family and personal situations in those things.

856
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 6: But the players in the building, they have a lot

857
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 6: of fun.

858
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 3: With all Right, we move along.

859
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 4: Now.

860
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: How surprised are you with the naming of JJ Riddick

861
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: as the new coach of the Los Angeles Lakers?

862
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 4: Not surprised because the tea leaves were going that way.

863
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 6: And look, there's a lot of people that are really

864
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 6: upset about JJ going to the front of the line.

865
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 6: But I'm gonna say this man. The dude played in

866
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 6: the NBA for fifteen years. The guy's been coached by

867
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 6: a bunch of great coaches. He certainly can take all

868
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 6: those things that he learned and put it together if

869
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 6: he hires a great staff, because the staff is really everything.

870
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: He can do it. And there's nothing that.

871
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 6: Can prepare you for being a head coach other than

872
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 6: being a head coach. So it doesn't matter if you

873
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 6: sat behind the number one guy for thirty years. You

874
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 6: never know the challenge and being a decision maker after

875
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 6: being a suggestion guy until you get the whistle.

876
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: And so he has the whistle, we'll see what he

877
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 4: can do with it. Yeah.

878
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 2: I was one of those guys that went off last week,

879
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: as you know, said I don't think he's qualified because

880
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: he's never even coached junior high school basketball. But you know,

881
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But again, I think the problem

882
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 2: is that he does a podcast with Lebron and people

883
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: are going to say Lebron got on the job, Lebron

884
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: wanted him to be.

885
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: A head coach.

886
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: So there's gonna be a lot of rumors going around,

887
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: a lot of talking behind his back, all right, I

888
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: don't you agree on that.

889
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 6: I mean, there'd be some of that, But you know what,

890
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 6: players respect players, And the number one thing that JJ

891
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 6: Reddick can do is JJ Reddick can be authentic, tell

892
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 6: them the truth, and be humble enough to address the

893
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 6: mistakes that he makes early in his tenure, to make

894
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 6: sure that he's a better coach at the end of

895
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 6: the season than he was at the beginning. If he

896
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 6: does those things and really works on building a relationship

897
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 6: with each member of the team, he'll be fine.

898
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 4: And it's not about being there, but it's about.

899
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 6: Knowing something that brings in Leeds to a connection that's

900
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 6: beyond just playing the game of basketball.

901
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 4: He does that, he'll has success.

902
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: Good last but not Lesa Willia May is going number

903
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: twenty four. Should Major League Baseball retire number twenty four?

904
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: He has been such a great ambassador to the game.

905
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't hate it.

906
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 6: I do kind of like it, the fact that you

907
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 6: could put twenty four in every stadium and then always

908
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 6: talk about him with such reverence. Yeah, like, I'm okay

909
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 6: with that. Let's let's make a declaration. Let's we're retired

910
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 6: to number in all the stadiums.

911
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 3: Really mays, Yeah, I love to see that. I really would.

912
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I get what they try forty two. I

913
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 2: guess he's retired now, is it retired? I mean, no

914
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: one wears forty two or they just wear forty two.

915
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: On April the fifteenth, the day came in. I don't know.

916
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: We'll have to check that out, but here we go.

Speaker 2: I want to run up by you right now because

935
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: it seems to me and I've heard reports, but the

936
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: state of Kansas is making a serious run at becoming

937
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: the new home for the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas

938
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: City Chiefs. I talk about corporate greed all the time,

939
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: but the Kansas Governor, Laura Kelly, she signed legislation on Friday.

940
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: This enables now the state her state, to lord the

941
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and and Major League

942
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: Baseball's Kansas City Royals away from neighboring Kansas City, Missouri,

943
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: by helping the teams pay for new stadiums.

944
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 3: I don't get it. I mean, for the I get it.

945
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: It's a leverage move on the ownership of the Kansas

946
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: City Chiefs. And they could do that because they're great

947
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: and the fans love them. But come on, really, they're

948
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: gonna leave Kansas City, Missouri and go to the state

949
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: of Kansas. I mean, how does this happen? I mean,

950
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense to me. But and the

951
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: owners just love it because they know fans are crazy

952
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: and they'll vote for these things and pay for the taxes.

953
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: Let these owners pay for their own stadia. And they

954
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 2: don't do it. They just don't. They don't have to.

955
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: I guess.

956
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: No, they don't.

957
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 6: But I so here here's the conversation that I think

958
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 6: everyone is trying to come to grips with. Taxpayers are

959
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 6: paying exorminant amount of money for stadiums that they don't

960
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 6: necessarily own.

961
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 4: Billionaires are asking.

962
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 6: The people who aren't even millionaires to pitch in to

963
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 6: help them get these extravagant stadiums so they can make

964
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 6: more money on luxury sales and those things. You also

965
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 6: have the opportunities command a Super Bowl and attractive super

966
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 6: Bowl to your city, and so that's why it's big.

967
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 6: But I think you're seeing people grow weary of that.

968
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: That's why you're getting to push back everywhere.

969
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 6: We're seeing Kansas City, what's going on between that city

970
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 6: and the Chiefs and where they go across the line

971
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 6: to Kansas City. K as opposed to doing that stuff

972
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 6: in Jacksonville. Is just about making sure that the money

973
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 6: is allocated properly, that taxpayers are okay with the government

974
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 6: paying money, significant money to renovate a stadium in a

975
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 6: downtown area.

976
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 3: It amazes me.

977
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: Now though you talk about the governor of the state

978
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: of Kansas is going to take effect what she signed

979
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: on jail other first, and what it's going to do

980
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: is going to allow bonds. Bonds are going to cover

981
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: like seventy percent of a new stadium's cost Kansas. Now,

982
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 2: the state would have thirty years to pay them off.

983
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: And how they're going to pay them off revenues from

984
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 2: sports betting, our revenues from state lottery ticket sales, and

985
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 2: of course obviously of course new sales taxes for alcohol

986
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: generated in the area around each proposed stadium. So the

987
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: taxpayer is going to have to pay for something that's

988
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: going to be used perhaps maybe eight times a year.

989
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 3: Forget about the baseball eight times a year.

990
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: And I don't I mean, you love football, and you

991
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: know you're gonna have to pay for this, and then

992
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen down the road. You're not even able

993
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: to watch it over free TV because you're gonna have

994
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: that paywall coming up, you know, But the next three

995
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 2: to five years, every one of those games is gonna

996
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: be paid for view. You know, you're not gonna get

997
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: free TV anymore for the NFL. Just just the way

998
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna be. Maybe, you know, maybe I'm stuck on

999
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: quicksand just just the way the future and I'm not

1000
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: ready to move to the future.

1001
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 3: Maybe that's it.

1002
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 6: It might be it, but the future is honest, and

1003
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 6: so we got to adapt and adjusts. We got to

1004
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 6: adapt and adjust to the things that happen to below

1005
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 6: the collegiate, below the high below the NFL level. Down

1006
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 6: the colleges, we got to see how that stuff impacts

1007
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 6: who we are when we get to the pros. We

1008
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 6: gotta make sure that everyone is lined up and the

1009
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 6: lockstep to make sure that the game continues, the floorish

1010
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 6: and so.

1011
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 4: On the field.

1012
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 6: It's like the coaches in the onfield product, but off

1013
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 6: the field, it's everyone who makes this stadium go. And

1014
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 6: so you talk about you talk about prioritizing getting ready

1015
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 6: for camp, but you also prioritize and make sure you

1016
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 6: get this funny for these renovations.

1017
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: Not well, that's the future. Let's talk about the NFL

1018
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: future right now, because you're right on it. Okay, I'm

1019
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: talking about Bucket Brooks, the player, Bucket Brooks, the coach,

1020
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: the scout, and of course the writer for NFL dot Com.

1021
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 2: I talk about this every week he writes dot com

1022
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 2: for NFL dot com.

1023
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 3: Scroll down to writers.

1024
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: You see Bucket Brooks right there, And I'm going to

1025
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: say this right here now, Okay, I would be a

1026
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: complete schmuck, and some people think that I already am.

1027
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: But I'll be a complete schmuck not to use the

1028
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: fountain of knowledge that my partner, Bucket Brooks has on football.

1029
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: He played the game, coaches the game, and writes about

1030
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 2: the game. So I'd be foolish to ignore that. That's

1031
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: why I like to talk about it every week. And

1032
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 2: it's somewhat interesting because I learned so much from him

1033
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 2: as well. And what you have this week is the

1034
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: breakout players for this coming season. And last year you

1035
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: predicted the players you.

1036
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 3: Really did like you predicted, like George Picktens was gonna

1037
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 3: have a breakout year. How did you know? How did

1038
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 3: you know? I want to know, how did you know?

1039
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 6: You're beginning to look at situations and circumstances right, like,

1040
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 6: what situations circumstances will lead these players to be able

1041
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 6: to play at a high level. So for me, it

1042
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 6: was easy to look at George Pickens and say, hey,

1043
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 6: George Pickens should have an opportunity to touch the ball

1044
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 6: enough where he makes enough splash plays to kind of

1045
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 6: command attention.

1046
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 4: That happened.

1047
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 6: You knew the talent was there, but now it's just

1048
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 6: the opportunity. And sometimes the opportunity isn't in being the

1049
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 6: lead horse surrounded by other comparal horses. Sometimes it's being

1050
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 6: the lead horse and there's no other options. So now

1051
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 6: you get all those opportunities that normally would go elsewhere.

1052
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: When we get to the list, I think that's what

1053
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 4: you'll see.

1054
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 6: You'll see some of these guys that are mentioned, it's

1055
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 6: about opportunity, and that opportunity is going to give them

1056
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 6: a chance to really make their name, to become headliners

1057
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 6: within their respective cities.

1058
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, let's get to your list and let's star

1059
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 3: have a quarterbacks, and everybody loves quarterbacks. You talk about

1060
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 3: Bryce Shall, who basically.

1061
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 2: You know, was hyped up pretty good in college, but

1062
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: I have to say it's somewhat of a disappointing first year.

1063
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 6: Last year, he did have a disappointing first year, to

1064
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 6: the point that it's the first time that I ever

1065
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 6: can remember that no ever one talks about the former

1066
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 6: number one overall pick in the draft. Everyone is going

1067
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 6: google guy got over Anthony Richson, who only played in

1068
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 6: four games. I've heard people have conversations about Will Levis

1069
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 6: We're all excited about CJ. Stroud, but no one has

1070
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 6: talked about Bryce Young. To me, Bryce Young has a

1071
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 6: head coaching coordinator, Dave Canwos, who's just coming off fixing

1072
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield. Help Baker get paid, help Baker play at

1073
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 6: a high level while helping the Ten Bay Buccaneers make

1074
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 6: the postseason.

1075
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 4: Same blueprints, same formulas should.

1076
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 6: Follow when they go up to Carolina, like make it

1077
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 6: quarterback friendly. If he makes a quarterback friendly, continues to

1078
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 6: teach the quarterback how to play quarterback.

1079
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 4: At a high level.

1080
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 6: Look, this team is gonna surprise and Bryce Young is

1081
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 6: gonna be one of those guys we talked about.

1082
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny Bryce Young coming up their first pick.

1083
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 2: Everybody expects so much from a first pick. They want

1084
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: it like now. People can't wait, They want it like

1085
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: right now. I think the saving grace with Bryce Young,

1086
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 2: even though we had a somewhat of a questionable first

1087
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: year with CJ. Stroud who kind of mushroomed and be

1088
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 2: bloomed and to start, and no one expected that from CGT.

1089
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 2: So you know, they were so enamored and talking about CJ.

1090
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 2: Stroud they almost forgot about Bryce Young. On his shortcomings.

1091
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's some of that.

1092
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 6: I think there's some of that, and you know, I

1093
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 6: think what happen is though we see de Strout because

1094
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 6: everyone missed. Everyone talked about how it was a one

1095
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 6: horse race. There was no conversation or debate. Typically we

1096
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 6: have debates about who's number one, who's the second. They

1097
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 6: didn't have that conversation ahead of that draft. It was

1098
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 6: kind of Bryce Young and people didn't think CJ. Stroud

1099
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 6: game was translated, but it has, and so we've gone

1100
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 6: maybe a little over any other direction when it comes

1101
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 6: to c J. Stroud and just making sure that we

1102
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 6: blow him up and give him his flowers at every turn.

1103
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really surprised in your breakout list there's only

1104
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: one quarterback.

1105
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: Why is that?

1106
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 4: Well, because it's the team.

1107
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 3: It's ID it's.

1108
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 4: An all breakout team.

1109
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 6: You only get one ball, there's only one Only one

1110
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 6: quarterback can be on the field. But if look, I'm

1111
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 6: gonna say this, here's here's the hype train that I

1112
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 6: worry about. I worry about the Anthony Rigs and hype

1113
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 6: train because when you hear people talk about Anthony Richardson

1114
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 6: and what the expectations are I think people have to

1115
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 6: understand Anthony Richard only played four games his rookie season,

1116
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 6: following a career that was very abbreviated when it came

1117
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 6: to him, ant of start, steady experienced. I think it's

1118
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 6: gonna be slower for his game to rise than some

1119
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,479
Speaker 6: of the others because he just hasn't had enough game

1120
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 6: reps to be what everyone wants him to be. But

1121
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 6: there's a lot of hype and a lot of conversation

1122
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 6: about him. I just worry about him succumbing to the

1123
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 6: expectations and the burden of the pressure.

1124
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the running back Miami Dolls

1125
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 2: and tell me if I'm pronouncing his name right, Devon

1126
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: a Shan.

1127
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he changed it. It went from a

1128
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 4: chain to a chan. Regardless.

1129
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 6: What I'm gonna say is he is fast, and it's

1130
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 6: the fast playmaker from Miami.

1131
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 4: That is on the list.

1132
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 6: The dude was averaging and he was averaging ninety Scrimma

1133
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 6: jars per game his rookie season. That is bananas kinds

1134
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 6: of production. And if he's gonna get more opportunities, like

1135
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 6: Mike McDaniels has promise this this guy, there's gonna be

1136
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 6: a headline up.

1137
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about him.

1138
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 6: And maybe he supplants for him mosted as the number

1139
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 6: one option in the backfield when it comes down to it.

1140
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 3: All right, wide receiver.

1141
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 2: This guy was picked twentieth Seattle Seahawks Jackson Smith, NA Jayba.

1142
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, JSN so js yeah, yeah yeah. JSN playing in Seattle.

1143
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 6: Ryan Grubbs comes over from Washington. I mean he just

1144
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 6: goes across town and he gets an opportunity to take

1145
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 6: over this offense and an offense last year on the

1146
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 6: Saint Walton there's a little more predestion. When they had

1147
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 6: the three wide receivers. JSN didn't give enough opportunities. That's

1148
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 6: a change. You gotta remember when you watched Washington with

1149
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 6: Michael Pennix, he threw it all over the yard. Every

1150
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 6: playmaker had an opportunity to shine. The same will hold

1151
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 6: true with Gino Smith in Seattle. Everyone to talk about

1152
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 6: DK Mtcalff and Tyler Lockett, but by the end of

1153
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 6: it we'll be talking about JSN being a potential star.

1154
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: Now you talk about DK Metcalf and Tyler Locke. I

1155
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 2: mean they're basically in the twilight of their career. Couldn't

1156
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 2: you say that really, I mean, yeah.

1157
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're up there.

1158
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 6: I would say more Tyler Lockett more so than DK meccaf.

1159
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 6: DK meccaf has been in the league for a while, huge,

1160
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 6: huge playmaker. But JSN being able to play in the slot,

1161
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 6: it's gonna give him an opportunity to wear out.

1162
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 4: The third corner over and over and over again.

1163
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 6: And the thing about the talent that he's surrounded by,

1164
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 6: they're good enough where they command their own kinds of attention,

1165
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 6: so he should be able to benefit from playing one

1166
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 6: on one on guys.

1167
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're told about a guy making a benefit. You

1168
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 2: got go to the Buffalo Bills here, Khalil Shakir. I mean,

1169
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 2: here's a guy that's gonna walk right into a situation

1170
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 2: that is made for him. Because stuff on Diggs is gone.

1171
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: He probably could have been the number one wide receiver

1172
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 2: on the Buffalo Bills.

1173
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, Calisia cour So let's talk about the wide receiver

1174
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 6: and the tight end and the same thing. Because there's

1175
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 6: two Buffalo Bills, it's Darton kin Kid and Khalil Shakur.

1176
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 6: And what happens is the field opens up, Nana Stefan

1177
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 6: Diggs isn't there Josh Allen is going to have to

1178
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 6: distribute the ball more as an inside outside platte pass

1179
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 6: or playmaker, So that should open up the field for

1180
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 6: sur to be able to do it on these end

1181
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 6: breakers and crossing routes. He has vertical playmaking ability. But

1182
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 6: then Dalk Kinkaid being a steady Eddy presidence forming number

1183
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 6: one overall pick has been terrific. Now it's about building

1184
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 6: it around those guys being the lead horses, Dal Kinkaid,

1185
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 6: Dawson Knox, and then the playmakers on the outside.

1186
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 4: That's why Shaquille Shakur.

1187
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 6: Has an opportunity to be a guy that touches the

1188
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 6: ball a ton this season.

1189
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 2: We know about Kincaida Shakur as we receives for the

1190
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. You know, I think that we're looking at

1191
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 2: almost as a revamping a new era in the Buffalo

1192
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 2: Bills right now. And I said this early on. I'll

1193
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 2: stick by my words. I think it's gonna be a

1194
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: rough year for the Buffalo Bills, I really do, and

1195
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 2: a very important year for their quarterback because I think,

1196
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, really Stefan Diggs really helped make the quarterback

1197
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 2: position in Buffalo. I think it's gouda be tough this year.

1198
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if the Buffalo Bills, now

1199
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 2: tough AFC, do not advance deep in the playoffs. So

1200
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: maybe they don't even make the playoffs.

1201
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's gonna be a tough situation for

1202
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills. But someone say less is more. Maybe

1203
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 6: less Stefan Diggs more focused?

1204
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 4: Not as many distractions?

1205
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 6: Are those things if you feel like the receiver was

1206
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 6: one that created a lot of unnecessary attention on the

1207
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 6: locker room and the conversation and relationships within the locker room.

1208
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 6: This is about Josh Allen though. It's about Josh Allen

1209
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 6: showing and proving the people that he can do the

1210
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 6: Pat Mahomes thing, people that have talked about him in

1211
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 6: the same conversation as Pat Mahomes. Whenever we get a

1212
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 6: chance to see what does it look like when he

1213
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 6: is forced to do everything?

1214
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 4: Can he put this team on his back? We'll see. Yeah.

1215
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: It's funny because in the last several years, the question

1216
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 2: in Buffalo was where's their running game? Because they relied

1217
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: on their passing him so much. Now they have a decent,

1218
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 2: kind of a fair running game. But the receiving core

1219
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 2: right now is so untested it's gonna be tough. They

1220
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 2: never really had both things clicking at the same time,

1221
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: and they still don't.

1222
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,959
Speaker 6: No, they've never really had it. But there's enough time

1223
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 6: for them to get that right. They brought in a

1224
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 6: bunch of wide receivers, kind of throw it up there

1225
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 6: and see who can be a kJ handler, Marcus Valdez,

1226
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 6: Scantling and some others. They'll see, they'll see what it

1227
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 6: looks like, and I'm optimistic that they will figure it

1228
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 6: out at some point. But this is about Josh Allen

1229
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 6: more than anybody else. We can talk about Sean McDermott,

1230
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 6: we can talk about the weapons or whatever. This is

1231
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 6: Josh Allen. If Josh Allen is worthy of being in

1232
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 6: that conversation with Pat Mahomes and we need to see

1233
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 6: this team flourish without Stefan Diggs being on the field.

1234
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, it's great.

1235
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 2: This is a great leading because if it's all about

1236
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and Buffalo, it's certainly all about Jordan Love

1237
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: and Green Bapergers. Right now, you're talking about Jayden Reed,

1238
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 2: the wide receiver. Can he get it done? This guy

1239
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: only had like what sixty somewhat catches last year, Canny

1240
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 2: get it done. I mean it's going to be Jordan

1241
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 2: Love kind of making him if he can.

1242
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I won't necessarily say he's making him, but I

1243
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 6: would say that Jaden Reed has the opportunity to be

1244
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 6: the next one, meaning the next second round pick to

1245
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 6: blossom in green Bay. When you look at the history

1246
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 6: of wide receivers, everyone loves to take the green Bay

1247
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 6: package of the task because they don't in verse first

1248
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 6: round picks playmakers.

1249
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 4: But it's worked out well.

1250
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 6: I mean, going all the way back to the days

1251
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 6: of Antonio Freeman and Donald Driver and you know, Jordy

1252
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 6: Nelson and others, James Jones, they've been able to find

1253
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 6: playmakers outside of it. This kid, Jayden Reed, was drafted

1254
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 6: second round out of Michigan State.

1255
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 4: Last year. He was a jet sweep specialist.

1256
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 6: They started to expand his role a little more finished

1257
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 6: for day touchdowns. I looked for him to take the

1258
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 6: next step. And so when you think about Jayden Reed

1259
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 6: and Christian Watson on that team, they have a bunch

1260
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 6: of nice talented playmakers. I just think Jayden Reid probably

1261
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 6: has a game that might be a little more suited

1262
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 6: to eventually being the number one That's why we're going

1263
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 6: to talk about him.

1264
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: Okay, now let's talk about the Chicago Bears. But there's

1265
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: a lot of hype there. We got the number one pick,

1266
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 2: they got Caleb Williams the quarterback. But look, if Caleb

1267
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 2: Williams is going to be successful, he better get some protection.

1268
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: And one of the guys you mention is Darnell Wright

1269
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 2: as far as the offensive tackle right there. So if

1270
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has a successful season, I think a lot

1271
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 2: of their credit's going to be handled towards Donell Wright.

1272
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 4: Through there.

1273
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 6: Right, big body playmaker come from Tennessee, has the nasty

1274
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 6: disposition and the dog at him. After struggling the first

1275
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 6: couple of weeks of the season, I want to say

1276
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 6: he gave him a sack in the.

1277
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 4: First five games.

1278
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,439
Speaker 6: He settled in only about maybe three of the last

1279
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 6: twelve games of the year. So this guy has the talent,

1280
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 6: he has the tools. Is about just the experience of

1281
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 6: being able to play at the higher level.

1282
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 4: Not really worried about that.

1283
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 6: I think this is the year that he breaks out

1284
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 6: and becomes a guy that we talk about being a

1285
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 6: potential pro bowler.

1286
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: Interesting I talk about the offensive tackle right now. I

1287
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 2: think the big question in Cleveland is Deshaun Watson. I mean,

1288
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 2: he's been he's been out of the action so long.

1289
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 2: Can he come back and get it done? But he's

1290
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: got a guy in Dewan Jones. This guy, I mean

1291
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 2: six ' eight three seventy four. I like to see

1292
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 2: this guy at the dinner table.

1293
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 3: Really. I mean six ' eight three seventy four.

1294
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 2: He could probably block two guys in one shot on

1295
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 2: the offensive So Deshaun Watson's got some protection over there.

1296
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 2: But I think the big key is not so much

1297
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 2: him on the offensive line. Can DeShawn and Watson come

1298
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 2: back and show something after being away for so long?

1299
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1300
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 6: No, that's a big part of it. Can he show something?

1301
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 6: Canny come back? Can he be the player that everyone

1302
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 6: wants him to be? That's a huge deal, man. I

1303
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 6: mean that's the million dollar question that is circulating around

1304
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 6: the dog Pound. Candy Shawn Watson be the quarterback that

1305
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 6: they won't. But to do it, they have to make

1306
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 6: sure the offense line is right, the running game is right.

1307
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 6: They gave him weapons and receivers, so there's no excuses

1308
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 6: for him not to play.

1309
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 4: Well, he just has to play.

1310
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm going to go over to these

1311
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: two offensive guards, Okay, one on the Falcons Bergeron, Matthew Bergeron,

1312
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 2: and one on the Tennessee Titans Scornsky, Peter Scarronsky. And

1313
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: it's funny because he's on the Tennessee Titans and Bill

1314
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 2: Callahan's then his dad's going to be on the staff

1315
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: as well as father Bill Callahan joining him on the

1316
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: staff for Brian Callahan. You know, And what I'm reading

1317
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 2: and what you wrote, like, I don't think the public

1318
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: realizes this. I didn't realize this how much coaching and

1319
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 2: teaching is involved.

1320
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

1321
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 2: People think you just go out there and put the

1322
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 2: pads on scrimmage play and go on somethay and play.

1323
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: It's not that way. You credit the coaching so much.

1324
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: You say that the fact that Brian Callahan's going to

1325
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 2: be with his dad Bill joining him on the line

1326
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: to help a guy Skeronsky. This is really a big

1327
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 2: deal in my mind that you're saying that teaching really

1328
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: does in fact go on in the National Football League.

1329
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, Bill Callahan is one of the best teachers that

1330
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 6: you were fine and his son I mean, Brian Callahan

1331
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 6: takes over, and so this would be a different type offense,

1332
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 6: a little more past centric.

1333
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 4: They'll have the running game. But Bill Callahan is one

1334
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 4: of the best. He coached.

1335
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 6: I was playing for the Raiders when he was there

1336
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 6: as the offensive coordinator under John Gruden. Handled the running game,

1337
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 6: continue to do great things. This is a great opportunity

1338
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 6: for Peter Skeronsky to be the player that everyone thought

1339
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 6: he would be.

1340
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 4: When was the first round pick?

1341
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 2: Interesting and last but not least, we got the New

1342
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 2: York Jets and they said that Joe Tripman, Joe Tipman,

1343
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: what's the deal with him? Because he's going to be

1344
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 2: handling with and Aaron Rodgers, and they got to get

1345
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,959
Speaker 2: in sync because Aaron Rodgers hasn't been around much.

1346
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to get in sync.

1347
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 6: But I think Aaron Rodgers returning to be the starter

1348
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 6: will help him because he'll leave it some of the stress.

1349
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 4: On the pivot.

1350
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 6: You know, when you think about Pittman, he had to Tipman,

1351
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 6: he had to make all the calls, all the adjustments,

1352
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 6: everything fell.

1353
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 4: On him first time in the league.

1354
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 6: Well, when you got a veteran like Aaron Rodgers, he

1355
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 6: can handle the protections, he can get the team in

1356
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 6: the right play call, because if he gets the team

1357
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 6: in the right play call, it puts everyone in a

1358
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 6: position to be at their best. And so I think

1359
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 6: just having Aaron Rodgers back will allow us to focus

1360
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 6: more on his performance because the dude is super talented.

1361
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 6: When you watch the tape, supertwent is super long, very athletic,

1362
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 6: can do a bunch of different things.

1363
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 4: At the point of attack.

1364
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 6: But now it's hey, we need you to be our guy.

1365
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 6: Get it right, be the point of the sword. So

1366
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 6: you have that chance with Aaron Rodgers.

1367
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 3: I like that beat the point on the sword. I

1368
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 3: love that the breakouts.

1369

01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 2: on right now, and of course the twenty twenty six

1396
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 2: feet of World Cup in soccer that's gonna be held

1397
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: in North America.

1398
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 3: But there's gonna be.

1399
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 2: A confrontation there because they coincide, I guess with the

1400
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: National Football League.

1401
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 3: What do I mean by that?

1402
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Both of these international soccer tournaments require underline that require

1403
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 2: to be played are natural grass services and they exist

1404
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 2: only in half of the American football stadiums that play

1405
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. Now, this past Thursday, Messi

1406
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 2: and Argentina were playing off in the Copa America. They

1407
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: played Thursday night in Atlanta against Canada, and they've played

1408
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 2: on a temporary grass field that was installed at Mercedes

1409
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 2: Benz Stadium, and that's the home of the Atlanta Falcons

1410
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 2: and of course United of MLS. Five other NFL stadiums, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston,

1411
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, and New York have made this short time

1412
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: switch from artificial turf for the Copa America tournament. Now,

1413
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, you played in the National Football League. NFL

1414
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 2: players want grass. The NFL Players Association made a push

1415
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 2: last year for more grass playing services. Why are they

1416
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 2: doing it now for soccer? Why can't they do it

1417
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 2: for the National Football League.

1418
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just the upkeep. It's the upkeep of

1419
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 6: grass over the course of a full season. You have

1420
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 6: to constantly reside redo it. And it's also more expensive

1421
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 6: when you do other things in the venue. So if

1422
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 6: you're a stadium and you want to have monster truck competition,

1423
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 6: if you're a stadium you want to have concerts and

1424
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 6: a bunch of different things that take place in the tournament, well,

1425
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 6: bunch of different things that take place within the stadium.

1426
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 6: You have to tear up the grass all the time.

1427
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 6: It's hard to maintain it when you have so many

1428
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 6: different things being conducted on the field. And so that's

1429
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 6: why turf has always been appilling, because just the ease

1430
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 6: of nature. Sweep it off, get it right, plucky. You

1431
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 6: don't have to do all the same things that you

1432
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 6: have to do with grass. That's why owners are trying

1433
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 6: to do it. Because it's a monetary thing. It's an

1434
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 6: economical decision. It's not anything outside of that.

1435
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 3: No, No, I never played the game and you did.

1436
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: I got to believe that.

1437
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 2: Certainly, playing on turf, getting tackled falling on there more scrapes,

1438
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 2: more scratches, as tougher, it's almost falling on concrete well

1439
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 2: posed to grass, where it's more of a cushion, more

1440
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 2: like a sponge. However, if you're playing on a wet

1441
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 2: grass field, is there a good opportunity for your spikes

1442
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 2: or claps to get caught in that grasp You're going

1443
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 2: one direction and they stay stuck in the other direction.

1444
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 2: So both surfaces can lead to injuries.

1445
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, both surfaces.

1446
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 6: I mean there's not an injury free surface, you know,

1447
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 6: Like I mean, you're just gonna have to deal with

1448
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 6: some of those things when it comes to it. I mean,

1449
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 6: there's there's no way to completely avoid the injury factor.

1450
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 4: It's always there.

1451
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,959
Speaker 6: But look, the softest, the most consistent and reliable would

1452
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 6: be a very good track surface. But it's not I mean,

1453
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 6: a very good grass surface. It's not always available. I

1454
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 6: just think you want to do us in the best

1455
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 6: interest of the players, and I just don't. But what

1456
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 6: I don't know is how many owners are willing to

1457
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 6: fork up the kind of money that it requires to

1458
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 6: have a grass stadium that can handle so many other

1459
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 6: things outside of just your normal football games.

1460
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: Okay, you play for several NFL teams right now, and

1461
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,439
Speaker 2: which one which fields do you find more adaptable, well

1462
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 2: more comfortable, so to speak for you? For you personally,

1463
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 2: what did you like?

1464
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 6: I mean, grass is always better, right, grass has always

1465
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 6: been even though IM allergic to grass and I break out,

1466
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 6: grass is always better because it's softer. And you got

1467
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,439
Speaker 6: to remember when I when I played, we were talking

1468
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 6: about the old astro turf, which is basically green carpet

1469
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 6: rolled over top of concrete, and so just to fit

1470
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 6: the toughness that it required, it took. It took a

1471
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 6: toll on you beat you up. Grass is the best, though,

1472
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 6: Grass is the best, like a very well manicured, low cut,

1473
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 6: low cut grass surface. I don't think anything can beat that,

1474
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 6: like those fast surfaces that are down in Miami and

1475
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 6: some of those other warm weather cities. You love playing

1476
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 6: in those situations.

1477
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 2: Boy, I wish I was a pr guy when you

1478
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 2: played on your team, because you were allergict the grass.

1479
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I say that. When I was

1480
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 2: a sports information guy at all Roberts University, we had

1481
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 2: a tremendous golf team. I think we finished third in

1482
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 2: the nation and golf, but we had a golfer who

1483
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 2: was allergic the grass, and boy did we get some

1484
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 2: play on that.

1485
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 3: We got written up and it was a great story.

1486
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 3: He was written up in Sports Illustrated.

1487
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh Man playing in the National Football League allergic the

1488
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,479
Speaker 2: grass on a grass surface, I would have a field

1489
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 2: day with you, man.

1490
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 3: I missed my opportunity. But in twenty twenty.

1491
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 2: Six, get this, seven NFL stadiums will have to make

1492
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 2: the temporary switch to natural grass for the World Cup?

1493
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 2: All right, five are doing it right now? For Copo America,

1494
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 2: a permanent get this, a permanent natural grass field could

1495
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 2: require a cold weather team to spend two to three

1496
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 2: million dollars a year to maintain, okay, and opposed to

1497
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 2: a proximbly one point two point five million to install

1498
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 2: and maintain turf. So again, it's about economics right now.

1499
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 2: So why in fact would these owners of these teams,

1500
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 2: why would they even why would they volunteer to play

1501
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 2: a World Cup or Copo America games in this stadium?

1502
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: Are they going to make? Are gonna recoup that money

1503
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 2: in attendance? I don't think so?

1504
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 3: Will they?

1505
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 4: Uh?

1506
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 6: It's funny we talked about exposure, more exposure, bigger fan base,

1507
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 6: more themes. If you can get the soccer fan base up,

1508
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 6: it gives you a chance to tap into another revenue stream,

1509
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 6: different set of people coming through the turnstiles to come

1510
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 6: and see a bunch of different things that you have.

1511
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 4: MLS is a part of it.

1512
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 6: But being able to host friendlies where the US has

1513
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 6: taken on anybody, it just creates another line.

1514
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 4: Look, man, follow the money.

1515
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 6: The owners are going to go Where the money could

1516
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 6: go and this is an opportunity to expand it and

1517
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 6: do that so they can grow their game, literally grow

1518
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 6: their game by having more grass stadiums and more soccer

1519
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 6: opportunities to play.

1520
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 4: Me and Anwlly Sports.

1521
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: All right, I get it right now. Okay, he's Bucket

Speaker 2: Brooks and Andy Furman. This is Fox Sports Sunny and

1523
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 2: Fox Sport's ready. By the way, she took his advice

1524
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: and she talked that's coming up next line from the

1525
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 2: tirap dot com studios. But first he's gonna do some

1526
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 2: talking to you, Kevin Wyatt with all your sports.

1527
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was a big day for baseball on at Saturday.

1528
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 14: He was the Dodgers beating the Angels seven to show

1529
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 14: Ao Tani his twenty third home run of the season

1530
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 14: four hundred and fifty nine feet.

1531
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 5: I don't think that ball has landed yet.

1532
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 14: As he hit that one and almost to the roof,

1533
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 14: it looked like at the right field pavilion at Dodgers Stadium.

1534
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 14: Tyler Glass now one on run in seven innings, ten

1535
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 14: strikeouts as he picks up the win for Los Angeles.

1536
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 14: Aaron Judge blasting a home run his twenty eighth of

1537
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 14: the season, Yankees over the Atlanta Braves eight to three.

1538
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 14: The Twins beat the Oakland Athletics ten to two as

1539
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 14: Bailey Ober had a complete game with ten strikeouts on

1540
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 14: just eighty nine pitches. The Colorado Rockies a walk off

1541
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 14: pitchclock violation. It was Kyle Finn again on the mound

1542
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 14: for the Washington Nationals, bases loaded, bottom of the nine thinning,

1543
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 14: and he had three balls on the count and didn't

1544
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 14: get the pitch offf in time. That gave the winning

1545
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 14: run to Colorado as they take the game eight to seven.

1546
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 5: The Padres on a roll.

1547
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,560

1577
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 2: seven minutes from now. And we talked about Draymond Green.

1578
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 2: A little while back. Draymond Green told Angel Reese from

1579
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: the Chicago Sky, Hey, you want to be a bully,

1580
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 2: that's okay, but you gotta face the music and you

1581
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 2: gotta talk.

1582
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 3: And you know what she did.

1583
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 2: She did some talking after that hard foul on Caitlin Clark,

1584
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 2: and she said, look, I can't control the referees. There's

1585
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 2: a quote from Angel. They affected the game a lot tonight.

1586
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 2: She said, I'm always going to the ball, but I'm

1587
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 2: all going to play to a clip for twenty times

1588
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 2: before Monday in Clark.

1589
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 3: She agreed with Reese.

1590
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 2: She said, it's been part of basketball trying to make

1591
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 2: a player on the ball get the block. I mean,

1592
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 2: it happens. And look, they're gonna meet again today and

1593
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm getting a little tired.

1594
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it.

1595
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess the schedule happened to work out

1596
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 2: that way. I don't know, but I remember several years ago,

1597
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 2: you turn on the tube on Sunday night, it was

1598
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 2: every Sunday night at ESPN had the Yankees Red Sox,

1599
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 2: they just shoved it down your throat and now they're

1600
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 2: doing that. Really, I mean, I get it they want

1601
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 2: the eyeballs, but now they're doing it. Indiana Fever in

1602
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 2: Chicago Sky because Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark and today

1603
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 2: for the third matchup of the year, they just played

1604
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 2: this game. Today is gonna be in Chicago and both

1605
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 2: of the previous games have featured national television audiences. They

1606
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 2: featured sellout crowds over seventeen thousand at the game Bridge

1607
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:35,799
Speaker 2: Field House in Indianapolis. That they are doing it again today.

1608
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 2: But I'd like to see I'm glad to see Angel

1609
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 2: Reese right now. At least he's facing the music and

1610
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 2: listen to Draymond Green.

1611
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, she has to be able to stand

1612
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 6: up there, like that's part of the deal. Like, you know,

1613
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 6: part of being a professional athlete is you have to

1614
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 6: be able to step up to the mic east in

1615
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 6: every week, after every game and handle the question it's

1616
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 6: the hard question. You gotta be able to handle those

1617
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 6: things like a pro. And she's learning. She's look as

1618
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 6: much as people talk about Kaitlyn Clark Andrel Reese is

1619
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 6: almost on part of her when it comes to the

1620
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 6: stardom and the fandom that follows her wherever she goes.

1621
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 6: And that's why you're see more of these games broadcasts.

1622
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 6: It's a natural, ever serial relationship. It's a natural rivalry

1623
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 6: that's been created Angel Revees versus Caitlin Clark. And what

1624
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 6: you hope is that it's competitive, it's feisty, it's all

1625
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,759
Speaker 6: of those things that you want to see in a game.

1626
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,839
Speaker 6: But it continues to be one of those things where

1627
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 6: we don't allow outside narratives to creep in because of

1628
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 6: something that takes place on the floor, whether it's the

1629
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 6: horfiles or those things, as long as they're basketball related. Man,

1630
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 6: let's continue to keep that discussion basketball related. Let's not

1631
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 6: make it more than what it really is.

1632
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 4: Now.

1633
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, you had your breakout situation, you pick your

1634
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 2: breakout players of the Year for the National Football Then

1635
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to make two predictions right now. Number one,

1636
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to say Angel Reeves will probably get the

1637
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year award and and the WNBA top

1638
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 2: offensive rebound in the league. And I just have a

1639
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 2: feeling that she's gonna get it because they round a

1640
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 2: better she's not a bit of team I do you agree.

1641
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 2: I think she's gonna be Rookie of the Year over

1642
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark, which is going to cost some pushback on

1643
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 2: some negativity.

1644
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 3: And I'll go to another prediction. The WNBA All.

1645
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 2: Star Game will have better TV ratings than Major League

1646
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 2: Baseball's All Star Game.

1647
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can see that. I can see that, particularly

1648
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 6: because you talked about Kaitlyn Clark being available in doing

1649
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 6: her thing. Yeah, I can absolutely see that being a

1650
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 6: big part of it.

1651
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 2: It's amazing, it really is. But you know what, I've

1652
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 2: become a New York Liberty fan. I watch them and

1653
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why they're called the New York

1654
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 2: Liberty when they play their games in Brooklyn. Now they

1655
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 2: play the game in the same arena as the Brooklyn Nets.

1656
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 2: And look, you know, I'm a little I'm a little sugar,

1657
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: I'm a little crazy, a little off the wall. I

1658
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 2: wrote a letter to the ownership of the New York Liberty.

1659
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 2: I never heard back, and I do right for the

1660
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Eagles. I wanted to do a story on it.

1661
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 2: So maybe that's why they didn't want to get involved.

1662
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 2: They're afraid, I said, I want to know why the

1663
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 2: name of your team is New York Liberty rather than

1664
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Liberty. I don't get it. Maybe maybe because it

1665
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 2: doesn't it doesn't make any sense to me. They're playing

1666
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn.

1667
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 4: You wanted to be you wanted to be the Brooklyn.

1668
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 4: You want to be the Brooklyn Liberty.

1669
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 3: It doesn't doesn't sound it's not good. I mean, tell

1670
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 3: me why I was the difference, like like they played

1671
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn.

1672
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, but doesn't New York encompass at all? Like doesn't

1673
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 6: New York represent the entire thing? Like I mean, like

1674
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 6: New York. I saw somewhere where similar conversation, but someone

1675
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 6: were saying that the Los Angeles Chargers should be the

1676
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 6: SoCal Charges so they could tie back into the southern

1677
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 6: part of their fan base, the San Diego parts, that

1678
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 6: they don't lose them in essence, like like the California

1679
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 6: Angels used to be the California Angels before they came

1680
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 6: to the iterations of the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles

1681
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 6: and those things. Some things work. The California Angels always

1682
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 6: work for me. I appreciated that maybe.

1683
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,799
Speaker 2: The Florida Marlins they had a change from Florida Marlins

1684
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 2: to Miami Marlins.

1685
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what. And you're right, like, why did

1686
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 6: they change? Why they go to the Double M instead

1687
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 6: of the Florida Marks. They won World Series when they

1688
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 6: were to Florida.

1689
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 4: Marlins, Right, Yeah. I don't ren't get it. I don't know.

1690
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 4: I don't understand it.

1691
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 2: I really don't. I mean, I want to know why.

1692
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 2: So why don't they call the Brooklyn Nets the New

1693
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 2: York Nets. They were the New York Nets at one

1694
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 2: time and they played on Long Island. I remember the

1695
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 2: call mack Arena. I used to go to the games.

1696
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 2: But I don't get it. And they were the New

1697
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 2: Jersey Nets at one point in time when they played

1698
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 2: in Jersey.

1699
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:36,000

Speaker 2: And here is in center stage, the number one man

1855
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: in National Football League history.

1856
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 3: Yes he is, They're one and only Bucky Brooks. Hello Buck,

1857
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 3: what's going on?

1858
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 7: Man?

1859
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 4: What's happening in you?

1860
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 3: Tell me?

1861
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 4: You brother?

1862
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 8: What?

1863
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed to ask you this? What number do you wear?

1864
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 3: In the NFL?

1865
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 6: A few different numbers. So twenty two is the number

1866
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 6: that I hold near in dear to me. That was

1867
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 6: my high school number.

1868
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 2: But also that's why Caleb clock whisk twenty two because

1869
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 2: of you.

1870
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,719
Speaker 6: I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish I could

1871
01:21:57,840 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 6: take credit for that, but no, twenty two.

1872
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,560
Speaker 4: Thirty three also won forty five in Kansas City.

1873
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 3: Any special reason? Why? What happens? Like when you go

1874
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 3: to camp and then I ask you for a number

1875
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 3: they assign you. How does that work?

1876
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 6: Well, depends on your status you come in. It depends

1877
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 6: on if you come in as a topic where if

1878
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 6: you're one of the guys that's kind of brought in,

1879
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 6: you get a chance. So if you are a prominent pick,

1880
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 6: sometimes they will let you pick the number. They'll tell

1881
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 6: you what's available and they say, hey, here are your choices.

1882
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 6: So when I went to the Raiders, they gave me

1883
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 6: a handful of choices. It was like thirty two, thirty three, maybe.

1884
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 4: Forty four was available.

1885
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 6: I didn't take thirty two because that was Marcus Allen's number,

1886
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 6: and I just couldn't see myself weighing like a childhood

1887
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 6: heroes number. And then thirty three was available because it

1888
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 6: was a double number. So I was like, okay, I'll

1889
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 6: take thirty three because I had worn twenty two for

1890
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 6: most of my childhood, twenty two because of my birthday,

1891
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 6: and it was my dad's number in basketball.

1892
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,719
Speaker 4: So that's why twenty two significance for me interesting.

1893
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 2: Okay, But I do read stories about these guys that

1894
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 2: pay other players big money for their number, which is crazy,

1895
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 2: isn't it.

1896
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean yeah, like now, I mean, I love

1897
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 6: a number, but I don't know if I'd love it

1898
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 6: enough to pay significant cash for it. I mean, I

1899
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,759
Speaker 6: think the biggest stories, uh, Jimmy Clausen and Cam Newton.

1900
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 6: Cam Newton had War two. He wore War II when

1901
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 6: he won the Heisman Trophy at Auburn. Approach Jimmy Clauson

1902
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 6: about it. Jimmy Clawson offered up some crazy amount and

1903
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 6: Cam was like, yeah, nah, you can forget that. I'll

1904
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 6: wear number one. So that's that's what happens. You know,

1905
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 6: that's not nor legals down. You know.

1906
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 2: I remember back in the day, I mean, you never

1907
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 2: really saw number one and number so zero. But I

1908
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 2: do remember jim Otto double oatto. He was zero zero

1909
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 2: the center for Oakland at the time. The Oakland Raiders.

1910
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 2: That was like unusual because no one ever wore oh oh,

1911
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 2: but I guess they thought he wanted it because of

1912
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 2: his name, Jim Otto ott O double oh. But now,

1913
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 2: I mean it's a big deal to get zero in one?

1914
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 2: Is there extra pressure when a guy has the number

1915
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 2: one on his jersey like a number? I mean, really

1916
01:23:58,520 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 2: truly gotta understand issue.

1917
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 3: I remember the big old Oscar Roberson won number one

1918
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 3: when he played for the Milwaukee Bucks.

1919
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll say this in general because I wore

1920
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:09,640
Speaker 6: number seven in college.

1921
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,520
Speaker 4: When you wear a single digit.

1922
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 6: Single digits are supposed to be reserved for the ballers,

1923
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 6: Like you need to be a ball if you can

1924
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 6: wear a single digit. You can't be a guy that

1925
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,639
Speaker 6: is a marginal player, a guy who doesn't make any

1926
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,640
Speaker 6: contributions or any of those things, Like you should be

1927
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 6: a baller if you're gonna pick a single digit. In fact,

1928
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 6: when Matt rule and it started when he was at Temple,

1929
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 6: he talked about Temple Temple tough. The guys who wore

1930
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 6: single digits at Temple during his watch under his reign

1931
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 6: were the toughest guys on the team. It was one

1932
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 6: of those things that those numbers were not given out

1933
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 6: until the end of the spring, and the non toughest

1934
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 6: guys would get those numbers, so there should be some

1935
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 6: significance to being in a single digit.

1936
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 2: When Sauce card that played at the University of Cincinnati,

1937
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 2: he got you at the by the Jegs, he played

1938
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 2: DJ reed like fifty grand for his number one as

1939
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 2: a rookie.

1940
01:24:58,560 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's.

1941
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 2: Fifty th I mean to throw fifty thousand dollars around

1942
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 2: like that, I mean, like to me, that's easy, come, easy,

1943
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: go fifty thousand dollars.

1944
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 3: There are people that don't earn that in a year.

1945
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, but still you got the money you do.

1946
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's a lot of money. That's a

1947
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 4: lot of money to give away. For sure.

1948
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 2: That's courtesy of checking your producer the big I iye, man,

1949
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 2: thank you for that.

1950
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 3: I have a confession to make.

1951
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 2: I really do, because last week I told you I

1952
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 2: would promise to try to get us the Detroit Lions

1953
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 2: wide receive Almon Ross Saint Brown and I texted his

1954
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 2: mom several times. Never heard back, so she probably knew

1955
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 2: it was me. Maybe that's what I did. Mention your name,

1956
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 2: I said, Bucky Brooks and I want to talk to

1957
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 2: but we'll see maybe.

1958
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 4: Maybe she right, not right now. Those things are unrid

1959
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 4: The new number a new number, who is?

1960
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 3: But it didn't bounce back. It said it said delivered?

1961
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 4: Who was?

1962
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,839
Speaker 3: A test said delivered several times?

1963
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know.

1964
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 3: I'll try again.

1965
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: And speaking of that, I said that these teams are

1966
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 2: winners right now when June. Everybody's what we saw of

1967
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 2: this last week, and we ended with the Detroit Lions,

1968
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 2: and we're gonna pick it up with the Detroit Lions

1969
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 2: right now. You know, moves that teams have made in

1970
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 2: the National Football League that will make them somewhat competitive,

1971
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 2: maybe even a winner this year. Let's start with the Lions.

1972
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 2: And I look at the Detroit Lions and the former

1973
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengal DJ Reader. They picked them up a free

1974
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: agency that's gonna help that defensive line pretty much so

1975
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 2: in Detroit.

1976
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:23,759
Speaker 3: So I think that's a big move for Detroit.

1977
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a big move for Detroit.

1978
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 6: Like a few different moves that they've made, adding veterans

1979
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 6: in the secondary, helped, adding some young players in the

1980
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 6: secondary so they can play more man demand. They want

1981
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 6: to get back to playing man demand. They couldn't do that.

1982
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 6: They want to pressure the passer, they want to stop

1983
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 6: the run and do those things, and so all those

1984
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 6: moves have been designed with that in mind. You talking

1985
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 6: about DJ Reeder who has bounced around leaved for a

1986
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 6: long time, but a really good player helps him up front.

1987
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 6: You think about in the back end, Ryan Arnold coming

1988
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 6: over to solidify the cornerback position.

1989
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 4: This is a team that's really good.

1990
01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 6: And I love the fact that they've given money to

1991
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,719
Speaker 6: their own pen sewer, amar R Saint Brown, Jered Goff.

1992
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 4: Everything is trending up for the Detroit lines.

1993
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,640
Speaker 6: I'm just excited to see how Dan Campbell keeps it

1994
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 6: going in the Motor City.

1995
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he will.

1996
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 2: I mean that guy, I mean, he's one of those

1997
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 2: guys like you know, I'm not saying I'm an athlete,

1998
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 2: but if I if I had him as an instructor,

1999
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 2: like as a professor in college, he's the kind of

2000
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 2: guy that you really couldn't wait to go to class.

2001
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 2: He's he's entertaining, but he's he's thought provocative, he's a motivator.

2002
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 2: He's everything you want and a guy who's an instructor

2003
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 2: and really and truly when you say he's a coach,

2004
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:36,719
Speaker 2: a coach is a teacher and an instructor.

2005
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,759
Speaker 3: That's what he is. And you know he's got their attention,

2006
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about.

2007
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 4: He does have their attention.

2008
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 6: Man, they're all in uh in terms of buying into

2009
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 6: the program and those things.

2010
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 4: So I love I love to see that. You love

2011
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 4: to see that.

2012
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 6: If you're a Detroit fan, man, you should be cited

2013
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 6: because this team, this team has come a long way

2014
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 6: and everything that he said and promised that this team

2015
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 6: was gonna be, they've been that. They've been a tough,

2016
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 6: pretty super fights team, competitive team. A lot of credit

2017
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 6: goo to him and his coach, Steph for being able

2018
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 6: to get it done.

2019
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to the green Bay Packers. Now we're

2020
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 2: going to alphabetical law here if I can. Green Bay,

2021
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 2: they spent almost seventeen million dollars on Xavier McKinney for

2022
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,839
Speaker 2: a safety position. He's twenty five, he's got some speed.

2023
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 2: I believe he's not really a superstar, but I guess

2024
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,600
Speaker 2: they needed help with that position. I don't know if

2025
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 2: it's going to batfire or not, but that's a lot

2026
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 2: of money to pay for Xavier McKinney.

2027
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 6: I thought, yeah, it's a lot of money to pay,

2028
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:29,640
Speaker 6: but you have to understand they've changed the way they

2029
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 6: were playing defense.

2030
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 4: Jeff Afflee comes over.

2031
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 6: Jeff Afflee left his Boston College head coaching job to

2032
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 6: be the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers.

2033
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 4: That's how much you wanted to get into the National

2034
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 4: Football League.

2035
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 6: He wants to do some of the single high safety stuff,

2036
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 6: put a guy deep in the middle and be able

2037
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 6: to play a few different coverages with that. Javier McKinney

2038
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 6: can be the ornamental top to Christmas Tree. He can

2039
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 6: take the deep ball away. He has instincts and awareness

2040
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,720
Speaker 6: and he's a playmaker and he gives them something that

2041
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 6: they needed, like leadership, ability, player, a great communicator. They

2042
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 6: needed to upgrade the safety position. They just weren't getting

2043
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 6: enough out of the guys that were playing their role previously.

2044
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 2: All right to Houston Texas. I love this team. I

2045
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 2: mean I think there's a team of the future. Houston

2046
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 2: Texas the Detroit Lions. Those are two teams that are

2047
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: on the up and coming list. And they got a big,

2048
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: strong defensive lineman six ' five maybe six ' six,

2049
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 2: about maybe two to ninety. Denico Audrey, he's thirty three

2050
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 2: years of age, so people say, oh, he's thirty three,

2051
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 2: but but he only started. I think when I look

2052
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 2: back on this guy, I think his first year in

2053
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 2: the NFL, he was twenty four, so he still got

2054
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 2: some tread on the tire. So I think I may

2055
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 2: have been a good move for them.

2056
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2057
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 6: I mean like they needed, they needed some more people.

2058
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 6: It's not even Archie. I would just say, like what

2059
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 6: the Texans have done is they've added veteran experience to

2060
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 6: the mix. So they take Joe Mixing from Cincinnati Bengals,

2061
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 6: put him in the backfield.

2062
01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 4: He replaces single TI. He gives them.

2063
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 6: I would say, a guy who still has some Pro

2064
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 6: Bowl caliber qualities that he shows runner receiver can catch

2065
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 6: out of the backfield. Teams over with Stefon Diggs, Stefon

2066
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 6: Diggs on the outside and Ego Collins tank deal. They're

2067
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 6: terrific in the passing game. Daln Schultz has been resigned.

2068
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 6: He controlled the middle of the field. Offensive line is

2069
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 6: good on defense, though they wanted to upgrade, so Danil

2070
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 6: Hunter comes over. Guy, Look, he's a sack machine. He

2071
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 6: steps in for Jonathan Goddard who kind of went to Minnesota.

2072
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 6: You talked about d Nico Autry being able to come

2073
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 6: over and help them. They just have added players with

2074
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 6: experience to help them get over the top. And even

2075
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 6: though they want a playoff game, you can never have

2076
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 6: enough veterans who've kind of been there, done that.

2077
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 4: They have some of those guys in the fall right now.

2078
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ought you was in Tennessee lest year. He

2079
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 2: had like eleven sacks, which I think he led the

2080
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 2: team in sacks last year. So I think it's a

2081
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 2: good move for them on the offensive side of the ball.

2082
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,639
Speaker 2: They're in pretty good shape defensively now they'll be all right.

2083
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 2: I think you Sin's an up and comber, no doubt

2084
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 2: about that. So you should be pretty happy if you're

2085
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 2: a Houston Texans And now the Indianapolis Colts the first

2086
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 2: pick with number fifteen in the draft, I think he

2087
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:07,520
Speaker 2: got a defensive player.

2088
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 6: And yau La tou Yeah, layout two Latu the most

2089
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 6: explosive pass rusher in the draft, the most natural pass rusher.

2090
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 6: When you watch him, you can close your eyes and

2091
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 6: squint and see flashes.

2092
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 4: Of von Miller in terms of the way that he

2093
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:20,719
Speaker 4: comes off the ball.

2094
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,720
Speaker 6: His first step quickness is terrific, but he also has

2095
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:25,879
Speaker 6: great hand to hand combat skills.

2096
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:28,839
Speaker 4: He has, I mean the full array of moves.

2097
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 6: The issue that you had with him, which is why

2098
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 6: he lasts as long as he did. He had a

2099
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 6: medical situation at U doub where he wasn't cleared and

2100
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 6: they thought he was gonna have to medically retire. He

2101
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 6: bounces back, finds his way to UCLA, plays two seasons,

2102
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 6: has twenty three and a half sacks as a bruin,

2103
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 6: and is one of the more dominant college players that

2104
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 6: we've seen in Indianapolis. In their simple scheme where they

2105
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 6: just see ball, getball, man, this dude could tear it up.

2106
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 4: He should tear it up on the perimeter.

2107
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,200
Speaker 2: Okay, this is your team, so you know everything about it.

2108
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna a statement, and if you want to

2109
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 2: laugh at me, you can. I'm talking about the Jacksonville

2110
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,800
Speaker 2: Jaguars right now, and I think the biggest addition may

2111
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 2: have had is on the defensive side, and it's their

2112
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, because this guy was unbelievable with

2113
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons.

2114
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 3: Last year.

2115
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:16,440
Speaker 2: With the Falcons, I'm looking right now, they ranked tenth

2116
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 2: in points per play.

2117
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 3: I believe it was something like that.

2118
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 2: Tenth in the league, the highest ranking since the year

2119
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,760
Speaker 2: two thousand, since two thousand. So I think he's going

2120
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 2: to make a major difference. Maybe I'm crazy, Maybe it's

2121
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 2: more players than coaches, but I think as you told me,

2122
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 2: you know, we were talking about the guys for the future,

2123
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 2: the breakout players. A lot of those breakout players have

2124
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 2: alignments with coaches and teachers that are going to make

2125
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 2: them a breakout player. I think Ryan Nielsen is going

2126
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 2: to make this team really good on the defensive side

2127
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 2: of the ball.

2128
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I expect him to be. I expect him to

2129
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,679
Speaker 6: be look a huge addition to the defense. And because

2130
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 6: when you talk to Ryan Nielson and you hear him

2131
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 6: talk about the defense, he talks about simplifying things so

2132
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 6: guys can play fast. Wants him to play fast, wants

2133
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 6: them to play their hairs on fire, wants to make

2134
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 6: sure that everyone knows exactly what they're doing so they

2135
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 6: don't have to slow down and be bogged with a

2136
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:06,719
Speaker 6: lot of mental clutter.

2137
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 4: To me, that is exactly what they needed. But it's not.

2138
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:12,439
Speaker 4: It's not only Ryan Nelson coming over.

2139
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 6: I would say Eric Armstead coming over, Mitch Morris coming over.

2140
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 6: They gave those guys like that veteran savvy and experience

2141
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 6: that they needed DARNELV.

2142
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:24,200
Speaker 4: Savage coming over from the Green Bay Packers.

2143
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 6: Doug Peterson felt like it was very important that his

2144
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 6: team had some veterans who knew how to play on

2145
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 6: those big stages. Last year, they felt like they faltered

2146
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 6: partially due to the fact that they didn't know how

2147
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 6: to handle the weight of expectations that was put on

2148
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 6: them in the preseason.

2149
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:43,600
Speaker 4: Well, now they've handled that.

2150
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 6: They slipped and stumbled and people have kind of thrown

2151
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 6: them aside. I think this team is gonna be much

2152
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:49,880
Speaker 6: better than many people expect.

2153
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, I'm not saying you're a homer,

2154
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 3: but I get it.

2155
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:54,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's okay.

2156
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,760
Speaker 6: I mean like I feel, I feel about them, like

2157
01:33:57,800 --> 01:33:58,799
Speaker 6: you feel about the Mingles.

2158
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:00,560
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I I don't know about the

2159
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 2: bang up because I think that the division that they

2160
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:04,640
Speaker 2: play in right now is is like brutal. That's a

2161
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 2: brutal division right there. And I tell you something else.

2162
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 2: I may be the only one sticking their head up

2163
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 2: in the in the ocean saying this that I don't

2164
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 2: trust Joe Burrow's health. I really don't. I mean, here's

2165
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 2: a guy that I think he's injury prone. I really do.

2166
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 2: I mean every season he's come up there and he's

2167
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 2: had an injury. Now, look, I'm not going to say

2168
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,720
Speaker 2: the appendix that's that's one of those things that's a

2169
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 2: different it's not a player's injury. It's just a physical injury.

2170
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 2: But I just don't see him finishing the season. I mean,

2171
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 2: they say the risk right now, it's still not one

2172
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:34,760
Speaker 2: hundred percent that he hurt last year.

2173
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 3: So I worry about Joe Burrow.

2174
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:38,720
Speaker 2: I mean that is that normal? I mean, I don't know.

2175
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm the only one doing so.

2176
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 6: I mean, look, there's some concern. Your franchise quarterback has

2177
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 6: been beat up and banged up. If anything, the concern

2178
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 6: would be, let's make sure we were protecting him. Can

2179
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 6: we can we get the best offensive line in front

2180
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 6: of him? You know that that we can. I can

2181
01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:55,719
Speaker 6: make sure that we have the weapons that can uncover

2182
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 6: quickly so he doesn't have to hold onto the ball

2183
01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 6: for a long time. If they do those things, Joe

2184
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 6: Burrow would be fine.

2185
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 4: He's always been able to do it.

2186
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 6: He's as tough as they come, and when he is available,

2187
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 6: this team is one of the best teams in the AFC,

2188
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 6: won the best teams in the league. They went to

2189
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:09,560
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl with Joe Burrow, so I have a

2190
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 6: lot of confidence in Joe Burrow. Nanta Te Higgins has

2191
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 6: agreed to sign the franchise tag he and Jamar Chase.

2192
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a dangerous team just on their

2193
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 6: office alone, all right.

2194
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:20,920
Speaker 3: I love to hear that.

2195
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 2: Okay, it's go to the Kansas City Chiefs for a second,

2196
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 2: because one of the moves that they didn't make was

2197
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 2: a good move. I thought keeping Chris Jones. But then

2198
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:31,679
Speaker 2: they trade Lugarius Sneid. He goes to the Tennessee Titans.

2199
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 2: So good, better and different, I don't know. I mean,

2200
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 2: tell me about Kansas City.

2201
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:37,679
Speaker 4: A little bit. Okay.

2202
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 6: So part of the reason they could move on from

2203
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:41,760
Speaker 6: Lageriusneed is because they have a young stable of cornerbacks

2204
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 6: that can play and play at a high level. For

2205
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 6: all the great things that la Jerious Sneed did, you

2206
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 6: can say the same thing about Trent McDuffie and how

2207
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 6: smart and how tough and how impactful he has been

2208
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,640
Speaker 6: on the perimeter. Then the young guys that they have

2209
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 6: rotating in and how hungry they've been and how they've

2210
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 6: right away jumped in and played on Packed It Backs

2211
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:03,879
Speaker 6: championship team, So that experience helps them have more swag,

2212
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 6: more confidence as they wait for their opportunity as little

2213
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 6: young lions. I look Hand City Chiefs to me are

2214
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 6: a step ahead of everybody just in terms of knowing

2215
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 6: how to win. A lot of that is driven by

2216
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 6: Number fifteen and how competitive he is and everything. But

2217
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 6: this team is obsessed, obsessed with winning, and that's part

2218
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 6: of what you have to have to be able to

2219
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 6: pull off these these repeats and three peats.

2220
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 2: Potentially no matter where they play in the state of

2221
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 2: Missouri or the state of Kansas, they're obsessed with winning.

2222
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:36,640
Speaker 3: There's know that about that. And they'll still be called Kansas.

2223
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 2: City because it's the Kansas City and Missouri and Kansas

2224
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 2: City right there, Jerseys all stay right.

2225
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:45,280
Speaker 1: All right?

2226
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders tell me about this Christian Wilkins. Okay,

2227
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 2: what's the story with him? Because I know they paid

2228
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 2: a lot of money for him.

2229
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they paid a lot of money for Christian Wilkins.

2230
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 6: And one of the reasons why they needed someone to

2231
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 6: be an effective playmate for Max Crosby. So Christian Wilkins

2232
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,640
Speaker 6: is a guy coming off like a terrific season, eight

2233
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 6: or nine sacks on the interior. What you have now

2234
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:12,120
Speaker 6: is potentially Christian Wilkins playing alongside Max Crosby. You're on offense,

2235
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 6: who do you double team? Who's you slideer protection to?

2236
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 6: Who are you willing to leave in a one on

2237
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 6: one situation? Do you let Wilkins do it where you

2238
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 6: can dominate your guard and knock your quarterback to sleep?

2239
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,679
Speaker 4: Or do you let Max Crosby just overwhelming.

2240
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 6: Out work you down after down after down until he

2241
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 6: gets the splash plays that he desires. To me, the

2242
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 6: Raiders did a great thing in putting these two guys together.

2243
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 6: Now it's going to not only raise their play, but

2244
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 6: it's going to raise the play of the other guys

2245
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 6: on that d line that played well.

2246
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 2: Okay, and the defensive coinnat Patrick Graham. I mean, is

2247
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,440
Speaker 2: he a first year guy who's any who's with the Dolphins.

2248
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 4: For a while. No, he's been there since third year.

2249
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 4: He's a holdover.

2250
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 6: He was actually there with McDaniels, stayed with ap, took

2251
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 6: over and continues to be the coordinator. This is a

2252
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,639
Speaker 6: smart guy man, super smart. As we have had really

2253
01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 6: good interviews for head coach and Josh previously hasn't been

2254
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 6: able to kind of get one to this to this

2255
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 6: to this day. But he is going to be a

2256
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 6: head coach. He is a phenomenal coach in terms of

2257
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 6: preparing his team and getting the team to play at

2258
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 6: a high level.

2259
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna pick it up with the LA

2260
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:14,360

2282
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 3: Right after we get up there and Bucky, we got

2283
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 3: a caller and I don't believe him. His name is

2284
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 3: Stephen from North Dakota on Fox Borts Radio. And I

2285
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 3: didn't think that had telephones in North Dakota.

2286
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 2: Steven, go ahead, Well, thank you for taking my call.

2287
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, they do.

2288
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 17: The state tree is the telephone pole you know in

2289
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 17: North Dakota.

2290
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 3: That's what I figured. All right, go right ahead, all right.

2291
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 17: Well, I'm wondering if Kevin O'Connell can take the next

2292
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 17: step with any of these quarterbacks. He was zero for

2293
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 17: three last year, developing like the call screeners said, they

2294
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 17: weren't number one pick. So I guess I wanted to

2295
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 17: know your opinion on the Viking quarterback situation.

2296
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, you called the right day, because Bucky Brooks is

2297
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,240
Speaker 2: here and the show Bucky has some information on those

2298
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings schoolers. They're putting into a I guess a

2299
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 2: long term plan. A quarterback right now go.

2300
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,400
Speaker 3: To a bed. We don't know. But maybe JJ McCarthy

2301
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 3: buck Maybe he's going to be the guy. I don't know.

2302
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe JJ McCarthy has an opportunity to be to

2303
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 6: get But before JJ McCarthy gets his chance, this is

2304
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:02,680
Speaker 6: gonna be about Sam Donald have an opportunity to do it.

2305
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:04,719
Speaker 6: And I know what everyone's gonna say, Oh my god,

2306
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 6: how often can we talk about Sam Donald being the guy?

2307
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 6: But there's a belief in that building, particularly with Kevin O'Connell,

2308
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 6: that Sam Donald has the town to be a high

2309
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 6: end quarterback in this league and that it's on them

2310
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 6: to figure out a way.

2311
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 4: To put them in a situation to do it.

2312
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 6: When I look at the supporting cast, he has weapons

2313
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 6: on the outside where all he has to do is

2314
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 6: just be a distributor past first point guard, get the

2315
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 6: ball to the playmakers and let them go to work.

2316
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 6: If he does that, he'll keep JJ McCarthy at band

2317
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 6: on the sideline. If he can't do that, if he

2318
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 6: can't make the easy plays, the easy throws and avoid

2319
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 6: the big turnover. JJ McCarthy be a starting quarterback for

2320
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:41,479
Speaker 6: the Vikings by midpoint this season.

2321
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:42,839
Speaker 3: You know, isn't it funny?

2322
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:44,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you follow the NFL, you play in the

2323
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:48,240
Speaker 2: NFL at your livelihood quarterbacks that have come in there

2324
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 2: with the big hype and they kind of fall in their.

2325
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 3: Face, but they get another second chance.

2326
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking like guys like Baker Mayfield. I mean he

2327
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 2: kind of basically flopped and now he's got a second

2328
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:02,360
Speaker 2: life Tampa. And now Sam Donald maybe he'll get the same.

2329
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 2: Who knows.

2330
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean like it's about situations, it's about opportunities.

2331
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 4: Fitting scheme is big.

2332
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 6: How does a player fit within the scheme is a

2333
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 6: really big factor in determining their level of success. The

2334
01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 6: other part of it is making sure that these guys

2335
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,759
Speaker 6: continue to grow and that as a coordinator or play designer,

2336
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 6: you're doing things that fit their skill set. Kevin O'Connell

2337
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 6: has done that. You talked about three quarterbacks they had

2338
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:33,200
Speaker 6: to play for him last year, Josh Dobbs and Nick

2339
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 6: Mullins to go with Kirk Cousins. He had to figure

2340
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:37,640
Speaker 6: it out on the fly. He'll be better prepared to

2341
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 6: do it this year because he is. He's learned from

2342
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 6: those mistakes to now make sure that he has a

2343
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:44,840
Speaker 6: plan that works for everybody in some way, shape or form.

2344
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 2: All Right, talk about Kevin o'conn the coach of Minsila.

2345
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 2: Vik's just talking about the coach of the Los Angeles charges,

2346
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, because he gives the charges right now. I'd

2347
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 2: have to say, for the first time in a long while,

2348
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 2: a guy with a proven track record, and it's got

2349
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,599
Speaker 2: to respect good respect of the players. Players we talked

2350
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 2: about this week. Players there, they'll love it. He's doing

2351
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 2: push ups with them at practice. But he's got the

2352
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,520
Speaker 2: truck right, he's been there, done that and had success.

2353
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:08,840
Speaker 2: But he's been out of the league for more than

2354
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: ten years. Does that make a difference.

2355
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't make a difference at all.

2356
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 6: I think you just kind of jump back in, like

2357
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 6: you adapt and adjust and you kind of figured it out.

2358
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 6: But nah, like you can be out for a while

2359
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 6: and then still come back and find a way to

2360
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 6: do it.

2361
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of understanding.

2362
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:28,080
Speaker 6: Who you are, what you are, and what works for

2363
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 6: you and your squad, and as long as you keep

2364
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,440
Speaker 6: it simple like that you have a chance to be successful.

2365
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:34,640
Speaker 3: You know, going back to that list phone call, just

2366
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 3: doing on me Stephen from North Dakota. Why would somebody

2367
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 3: in North Dakota be interested in the Minnesota Vikings. Is

2368
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 3: that their.

2369
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 4: Local team is right there, right up there? Yeah, like

2370
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 4: that would be the team, that would be the local

2371
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 4: team that you have to support.

2372
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to North Dakota. It's one of

2373
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:50,800
Speaker 2: the few states I've lived south of North Dakota. I've

2374
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: never been to never been to this.

2375
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:55,640
Speaker 6: I have been to Dakota's. I've been to Dakota's a

2376
01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:56,240
Speaker 6: few times.

2377
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:57,799
Speaker 4: What is there?

2378
01:42:58,080 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 3: Is there anything there? Tell me?

2379
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:01,840
Speaker 4: Really? I know you got an open freeway, you can

2380
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 4: go as fast as you want to go. There's nothing there.

2381
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 4: I mean it is me.

2382
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 6: Full of throttle uh ft up to the middle, being

2383
01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 6: able to get it and do that like that part

2384
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 6: of it is fine.

2385
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:14,640
Speaker 3: But I already come out on the freeway. There's no

2386
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 3: causing the freeway.

2387
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 6: I bet is that they were They were there, they

2388
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 6: were a handful. But yeah, I went up there a

2389
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 6: man a while ago. When to North Dakota state, the

2390
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:26,559
Speaker 6: Bison have always been like one of the top teams

2391
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 6: and then a long time we go to Denver. Broncos

2392
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 6: had a kid, Chris Cooper who came from I think

2393
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 6: University of North Dakota, who I had a chance to

2394
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 6: go up Dan Scout.

2395
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, I've been It's cold, but you get used

2396
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 4: to it.

2397
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw this out there. I'm gona give out

2398
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 3: a phone number in a second.

2399
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 2: But if anybody who lives in North Dakota or South Dakota,

2400
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 2: have you ever seen a traffic jam?

2401
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 3: I just want to know. I'm not curious. I mean,

2402
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:47,639
Speaker 3: these are things that are on my mind.

2403
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox eight seven seven

2404
01:43:50,360 --> 01:43:52,679
Speaker 2: nine ninety six sixty three sixty nine.

2405
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 3: Only if you're from North Dakota or South Dakota.

2406
01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 2: And hopefully the Eyeman are executive producer can tell by

2407
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 2: the area code if they are actually from.

2408
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,519
Speaker 3: North Dakota or South Dakota. All we move on.

2409
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,400
Speaker 2: Let's go to the La Rams, Okay, And I think

2410
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:11,320
Speaker 2: the Rams to me, I think i'd be a little

2411
01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:11,799
Speaker 2: more physical.

2412
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 3: You gotta be a little more. Have they become a

2413
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 3: little more physical now in the offseason? I don't know.

2414
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 2: All right, they got a guard, but but they reached

2415
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 2: Kevin Dotson and maybe maybe that'll help. I don't know,

2416
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 2: gott to be more of a physical team.

2417
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 4: The la Rams repeat you when I talk about the

2418
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:29,679
Speaker 4: m talking about didn't be more physical.

2419
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they will say this.

2420
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they are being more physical and like

2421
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 6: people won't notice a subtle change that Sean McVay has

2422
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 6: has kind of implemented when it comes to the offense.

2423
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:41,640
Speaker 6: For the first few years of his tenure, they were

2424
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 6: a zone team. They wanted to run wide zone. They

2425
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:45,679
Speaker 6: wanted to run on the edges, off tackle. They wanted

2426
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 6: to get the ball to tigerly, let him stretch it

2427
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 6: and then cut.

2428
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 4: It back as he saw fit.

2429
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,679
Speaker 6: They've now changed to more of a gap scheme team,

2430
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:56,760
Speaker 6: meaning there's a lot of penn and pull concepts, guards pulling, tackles, pulling,

2431
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,479
Speaker 6: all of those things. But what that has done is

2432
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 6: that is kind of giving them a little more physicality

2433
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 6: and toughness when they face some of those other teams.

2434
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 6: That physicality shows up when you look at the running

2435
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:12,760
Speaker 6: backs Karen Williams and Blake cormsh and what they can do.

2436
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 6: Interchangeable backs who have regged running styles who should excel

2437
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:18,880
Speaker 6: in that scheme. Yeah, Sean McVay is going to help

2438
01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford play at a higher level because he's gonna

2439
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 6: run the football. He's gonna utilize some of the play

2440
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 6: actions and stuff to take some of the pressure off

2441
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford having the thought forty times a game to

2442
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:28,840
Speaker 6: get a get it, get a win.

2443
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 17: All right.

2444
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 2: I go to the Miami Dolphins right now, and obviously

2445
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 2: they got two ways, got to stay healthy right there.

2446
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 2: But I think you look at a team that's got

2447
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 2: a tremendous offense.

2448
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 3: I love that coach. I think he's a brainiac. He

2449
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 3: really is. But he's from Yale. I believe in more

2450
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:43,799
Speaker 3: than that, I'm looking at a bargain. I like bargains.

2451
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:46,760
Speaker 2: I think that getting Oldell Beckham Junior for three million dollars,

2452
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,839
Speaker 2: I think that that's a bargain. I think I think

2453
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,200
Speaker 2: that when he was on Baltimore they paid five times

2454
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 2: more than that. So I think it was a pretty

2455
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 2: good bargain getting Oldell Beckham. He's got to have something left.

2456
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:57,680
Speaker 2: I think he'll help him.

2457
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, he will help him in people like he's a

2458
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,720
Speaker 6: very polarizing and divisive figure when it comes to like

2459
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,679
Speaker 6: the discourse that we will have on Twitter about Odell

2460
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,800
Speaker 6: Beckham Junior. I thought initially when he signed there, he'll

2461
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 6: be the number three. He's the third option in a

2462
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 6: passing game that features two guys that are just big

2463
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,640
Speaker 6: play weapons, Jayden Waddle and Tyreek Hill. Now you have

2464
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 6: to figure out if you have enough if you're facing them,

2465
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 6: how do I double team everybody? How do I double

2466
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 6: team Waddle and Tyreek Hill? Well, if you're going double

2467
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 6: team one or both of them, that means one on

2468
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 6: one matchups for Odell Beckham Junior in the slot against

2469
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:35,240
Speaker 6: your third or fourth corner. I'm gonna take Odell in

2470
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 6: that battle all day. To me, this is an opportunity

2471
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:41,559
Speaker 6: for Odell to kind of find a role that works

2472
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:44,799
Speaker 6: with him as he is in the twilight of his career.

2473
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 6: Can he be a productive number three receiver on a

2474
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:50,480
Speaker 6: team that is loaded and has big time aspirations?

2475

Speaker 5: Beck to you.

2527
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:25,280
Speaker 2: Guys, all right, Ken, thanks so much. Now, if you're

2528
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 2: a Giants fan, what's the big deal about signing this guy?

2529
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:29,320
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just about a minute. He's

2530
01:49:29,320 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman, and where liferomt the ti

2531
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 2: iraq dot com studios, and we got the blame game

2532
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 2: coming up. I'd say about four or five minutes. For now,

2533
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:38,320
Speaker 2: let's try to get through some of these teams. We

2534
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:41,679
Speaker 2: still got some left New England Patriots right now post

2535
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick right now, we'll see what happens. But they

2536
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 2: did sign Jacoby Pressett, and I think that's a good

2537
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:48,559
Speaker 2: move because to take a little pressure. If your guy

2538
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,719
Speaker 2: Drake May who doesn't have to start right away, he'll play,

2539
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 2: but I don't know he's going to start immediately, so

2540
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 2: at least he could learn a little bit from Jacoby

2541
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 2: presset and see what the NFL is all about.

2542
01:49:58,600 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 3: Good move.

2543
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, it should be a great move.

2544
01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:04,479
Speaker 6: And when you think about Drake Maine coming in but

2545
01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:07,599
Speaker 6: only twenty six starts at the collegiate level, He's going

2546
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 6: to need time to develop, time to acclimate to the

2547
01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 6: pro game, and this will give him that, Jacoby said,

2548
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:14,200
Speaker 6: has started a lot of games in the league.

2549
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 4: Jacob has been a winner in the league.

2550
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,920
Speaker 6: He can learn Drake may can learn a lot from

2551
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 6: just watching, Jacoby said, go about his business as a

2552
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 6: starting quarterback.

2553
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to go to the New Orleans States.

2554
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 2: I have no idea what they did. I have no idea.

2555
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they're looking at the future right now.

2556
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 2: They they guy, I don't know what they really tell me.

2557
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,240
Speaker 2: It's something about the New Orleans Saints. I'd seen nothing

2558
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:37,559
Speaker 2: that makes me feel good if I'm a Saints fan

2559
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:38,800
Speaker 2: right now, I really don't.

2560
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 3: I don't.

2561
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not.

2562
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 6: Look, it's tough for what you're hoping. If you're the

2563
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 6: same you're opening at. Derek Carr settles in in you

2564
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 6: two you're opening at. Clint Kubiak can give him a

2565
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 6: measure of peace in terms of bringing in a system

2566
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 6: that really works for him, that features the running game,

2567
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 6: that creates big play opportunities off play action. In those things,

2568
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 6: Derek Carr should be ready to be a I would say,

2569
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,599
Speaker 6: a more productive player this season.

2570
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,520
Speaker 4: But the trick with Derek Carr.

2571
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 6: Has little to do with the performance and has everything

2572
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 6: to do with the leadership skill. Has he done a

2573
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:16,880
Speaker 6: better job of connecting with his teammates? Last year you

2574
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 6: saw some little incidents on the sideline and stuff that

2575
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 6: didn't look like the team was connected. Has Dereck Carr

2576
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:25,680
Speaker 6: done enough to earn the respect of his teammates so

2577
01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 6: now that he can lead them and guide them hard

2578
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 6: as a QB one is supposed to do.

2579
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:32,360
Speaker 2: All right, New York Giants have said a big deal

2580
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 2: about this guy, Brian Burns. What's the big deal about

2581
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 2: Brian Burns, the guy that got from Carolina. Everybody's going

2582
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 2: crazy in New York about the signing of Brian Burns.

2583
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 4: Well, Brian Burns is the speed rusher off the edge.

2584
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 6: He's been really really productive double digit sacks, I want

2585
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:46,960
Speaker 6: to say, three out the last four years. So he

2586
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 6: can play, and what you're hoping is you can put

2587
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:52,639
Speaker 6: him opposite Kavon Thibodeau and come after the quarterback without

2588
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:54,360
Speaker 6: having the blitz underwing Martindale.

2589
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:56,120
Speaker 4: They had to dial up the press to get home.

2590
01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 6: They're hoping that now they can play a little more conservatively,

2591
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 6: make sure everyone is in the back end while getting

2592
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 6: a dominant four man rush. And so when you have

2593
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 6: Brian Barnes, you have Dexor Lawrence, you have came On Thibodeaux,

2594
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 6: you like to think, Okay, three of our guys, she'd

2595
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 6: be able to be in the conversation and dominate each

2596
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 6: and every week. If it plays out like that, then

2597
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 6: they're going to be having a kind of success that

2598
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:19,439
Speaker 6: they want to have on early downs so they can

2599
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 6: get after the pass on late downs.

2600
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 2: Okay, New York Judge. Everything circles around Aaron Rodgers. You

2601
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:25,680
Speaker 2: want to see him come back, come back healthy, which

2602
01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:27,920
Speaker 2: an amazing story. And I think they're gonna try to

2603
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 2: protect them a little bit. They drafted that kid from

2604
01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 2: Penn State to tackle old fashion and they got another

2605
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 2: tackle from Dallas Tyrone Smith, So they're just trying to

2606
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 2: protect them, and they got to protect them.

2607
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 3: And I want to see Aaron Rodgers come back and

2608
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 3: come back strong. That's what it's all about.

2609
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:45,120
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, we'll see if he can come back and

2610
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 6: come back strong. The prospect of doing it at forty

2611
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 6: is not great, but you never know. Miracles can happen.

2612
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 6: He had a four year to rehabit. We're seeing Kirk

2613
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 6: Cousins almost back and like he hasn't had nearly differentcovery

2614
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 6: time as Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers like he knows man,

2615
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 6: he knows when he may, mandatory mini camp and all

2616
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 6: the other stuff. He knew what the conversation was going

2617
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 6: to be a lot of times when people get Aaron

2618
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:07,599
Speaker 6: Rodgers riled up.

2619
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 4: You see some of his best performances. You see what

2620
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 4: that looks like.

2621
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 3: That's so so Philadelphia Eagles.

2622
01:53:12,479 --> 01:53:16,920
Speaker 2: They signed Bryce Huff in free agency, twenty six years

2623
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,840
Speaker 2: of age. I guess you know, I have no problem

2624
01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:21,439
Speaker 2: with the Egles. I think they get it, they get

2625
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 2: it together, they know what they're doing. They'll be competitive,

2626
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:25,679
Speaker 2: They'll be right there when the bell goes off.

2627
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:27,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, they will be right there.

2628
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 6: And you know the thing is they have a new

2629
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 6: offensive coordinator, Killing Moore, new defense coordinator in Vic Fangio.

2630
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,680
Speaker 6: So this would be a different style and we have

2631
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:37,720
Speaker 6: to make sure that Kellen Moore knows how to deal

2632
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:42,280
Speaker 6: with a quarterback in Jalen Hurst that's a different style player.

2633
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 4: Now.

2634
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:44,880
Speaker 6: When Jalen Hurst was coming out of school, I said

2635
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:47,200
Speaker 6: that Jalen Hurst reminded me a lot of Dak Prescott.

2636
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott played really, really.

2637
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 4: Well under Kellen Moore.

2638
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 6: Maybe Kellen Moore sees similar things and does a really

2639
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 6: good job of positioning Jalen Hurst in a situation where

2640
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 6: he can thrive and flourish, continue to the dual threat,

2641
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 6: but becoming a more consistent and dominant playmaker in the

2642
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:07,000
Speaker 6: passing end.

2643
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 2: Okay, if you're a Pittsburgh steel Fin, you've gotta be

2644
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 2: really happy about this move. Author Smith offensive coordinator. Finally

2645
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 2: they got a normal offensive coordinator.

2646
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 3: I gotta believe in Pittsburgh.

2647
01:54:17,360 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 6: I don't know about normal. I'll say this, Author Smith

2648
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 6: is really good at what he does. And what he

2649
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:23,559
Speaker 6: does is he throws, He turns back to the clock.

2650
01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:26,000
Speaker 6: They're gonna run the football, They're gonna throw it. He's

2651
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 6: done a really good job of simplifying things to help

2652
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:31,360
Speaker 6: old quarterbacks who have been struggling find their way. This

2653
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:34,240
Speaker 6: works because he helped Ryan Tannehill win the NFL Comeback

2654
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 6: Player of the Year.

2655
01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 4: Maybe that could be in line.

2656
01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 6: For Russell Wilson if he complies with the standards of

2657
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:42,440
Speaker 6: stipulations that were set forth last week by the voting

2658
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 6: committee on that award. But if he plays at the

2659
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 6: level where he can win the Comeback Player of the

2660
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 6: Year award, the Pittsburgh still is gonna be sitting pretty

2661
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 6: I think this team has an opportunity to kind of

2662
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 6: surprise and be the class.

2663
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 4: Of the division.

2664
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 6: We need more, we need more time to see it.

2665
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 6: But I just think things are trending in the right

2666
01:54:58,080 --> 01:54:58,800
Speaker 6: direction for him.

2667
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:00,760
Speaker 2: Okay, let's tell us it forty nine as we'll wrap

2668
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:02,360
Speaker 2: it up over here when be next week, will finish

2669
01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 2: up with the Seattle, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, and Washington. But

2670
01:55:06,440 --> 01:55:09,920
Speaker 2: Leonard Floyd, they kind of revamped their defensive situation, their

2671
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 2: defensive scheme and everything like that. Chase Young is gone.

2672
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 2: They're bringing Leonard Floyd. That may be an upgrade. That

2673
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:17,000
Speaker 2: may be an upgrade with Leonard Floyd.

2674
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:21,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, So Leonard Floyd comes over, gives them an establish,

2675
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 6: confimentary pass rusher. And the reason why they need that

2676
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 6: because Leonard Floyd.

2677
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,400
Speaker 4: Can go go, go, go, go off.

2678
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:31,720
Speaker 6: Their is energy, relentless and all that. Putting that opposite

2679
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 6: Nick Bosa gives them like a look at a one

2680
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 6: two punts that they didn't have last year and they

2681
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 6: tried it with Chase Young and those guys. But now

2682
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 6: they have it. I expect them to be better. But

2683
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 6: this is a different team and a different defense and

2684
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 6: different coordinator and all of those things that we tend together.

2685
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:49,160
Speaker 4: Steve Books was let go.

2686
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,960
Speaker 6: So what does a new guy do in Sorence and

2687
01:55:52,040 --> 01:55:53,640
Speaker 6: Nick Torrenson taking over the defense?

2688
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,360
Speaker 4: How does this look? A lot of questions, A lot

2689
01:55:56,360 --> 01:55:56,959
Speaker 4: of questions.

2690
01:55:57,200 --> 01:55:59,640
Speaker 2: All right, well, some questions and more answers. Next week,

2691
01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:01,840
Speaker 2: will we wrap it up with the NFL. But right now,

2692
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:03,400
Speaker 2: he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman.

2693
01:56:03,480 --> 01:56:06,880
Speaker 3: There's no hiding, there's no hiding. Now take cover.

2694
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:12,280
Speaker 2: The blame game is freaking next on the blame game.

2695
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 2: Right around the corner, he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Ferman.

2696
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:16,920
Speaker 2: About eleven minute, it's not before the top of the hour.

2697
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:19,360
Speaker 2: We're alive from the tire rack dot Com studios. By

2698
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 2: the way, at the top of the hour, which would

2699
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 2: be nine am on the East coast, you get the

2700
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:27,720
Speaker 2: swollen Dome himself, Mike Harmon and Ryan Hollins from the NBA.

2701
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 3: They'll talk to you at nine am. So keep it

2702
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:31,200
Speaker 3: right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2703
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:33,160
Speaker 2: And you know what, I would be remiss if I

2704
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 2: didn't take my hat off and thank our wonderful staff,

2705
01:56:36,080 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 2: Mighty Mark Ramsey of course with the controls, Kevin Wyatt

2706
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 2: with the sports updates, and the IEMN of course puts

2707
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 2: it all together.

2708
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 3: But right now, right now, it is time for the

2709
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 3: blame game.

2710
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 1: You ruin me. It's all your fault. No, it's your fault.

2711
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:53,680
Speaker 1: What is all your fault?

2712
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 3: Maybe it's everyone's fault.

2713
01:56:57,920 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 1: See the liar.

2714
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:02,200
Speaker 10: That's why there's the let's figure.

2715
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 16: Out who to blame, all right, the boy liar, he's

2716
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 16: a liar.

2717
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 3: Away here, all right.

2718
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 16: Well, the blame game this week. So this is a

2719
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:14,680
Speaker 16: story that kind of got lost in a bunch of

2720
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:18,200
Speaker 16: other stuff. But Falcons owner Arthur Blank is inducting a

2721
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 16: few people into the team's ring of honor. Matt Ryan

2722
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:24,000
Speaker 16: is one of them. Seems good, well deserving, But Arthur

2723
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:27,400
Speaker 16: Blank is also inducting himself into the team's ring of honor.

2724
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,520
Speaker 16: I'm not sure quite what he's accomplished to deserve that.

2725
01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 16: But Bucky, who do you blame?

2726
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 18: I mean, I blame Arthur Smith for being a little

2727
01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 18: ego maniac. Like I understand you're the owner of the team,

2728
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 18: but to put yourself in there, it's almost like when

2729
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,520
Speaker 18: you're voting for team awards on the team and you're

2730
01:57:45,520 --> 01:57:47,400
Speaker 18: not supposed to nominate yourself for MVP.

2731
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 6: It's certain things you shouldn't do. He should have let

2732
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:51,880
Speaker 6: Rich mcairs somebody else do that. He can't put himself up.

2733
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:53,880
Speaker 3: In there, and why not? Why not?

2734
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 2: If it wasn't for himd the it wouldn't be a

2735
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 2: ring of honor. If it was, it would be a

2736
01:57:56,880 --> 01:57:59,280
Speaker 2: team really, so I don't get. The only thing I

2737
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 2: question with him is they Chick fil A is a

2738
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:07,520
Speaker 2: major sponsor in Mercedes Benz. Well, Chick fil A is

2739
01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:09,880
Speaker 2: a closed on Sunday, So how in the hell could

2740
01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 2: they sell Chick fil A at the stadium during Falcons games?

2741
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:15,920
Speaker 2: I never understood that, really, Chick fil As closed on Sunday.

2742
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 2: But you know, author blank, you know, maybe he needs

2743
01:58:18,320 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 2: some professional help. But I tell you, you know, he

2744
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 2: bought the team, put himself in why not?

2745
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:26,440
Speaker 16: Like I can't imagine anyone pushing back on it. You know,

2746
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 16: it's like the owner.

2747
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 3: If you push back, you get fired exactly all right.

2748
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:33,240
Speaker 16: Anyway, the Edmonton Oilers have a chance to become the

2749
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:36,400
Speaker 16: first NHL team since nineteen forty two to come back

2750
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:37,480
Speaker 16: from bluffing.

2751
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:39,640
Speaker 3: I was at Detroit three Red Wings that did it.

2752
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 3: I think in forty two.

2753
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 4: You might be right.

2754
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 3: I was at the game in the Stanley Cup Final.

2755
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:47,960
Speaker 16: But at the same time, the Panthers would be the

2756
01:58:47,960 --> 01:58:51,000
Speaker 16: first team since then to blow that same wed So Andy,

2757
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:51,640
Speaker 16: who do you blame?

2758
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, right now, it's not a question

2759
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:55,760
Speaker 2: of talent. I think there's a question of who's in

2760
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 2: whose head. Just like when I beat Bucky Brooks in

2761
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 2: the blame game, I'm in his head right now. He

2762
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 2: can't win now the stuffs. Thinking about that, you have

2763
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 2: stecond thoughts.

2764
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:05,440
Speaker 3: Should I do this? What am I doing right? What

2765
01:59:05,520 --> 01:59:06,160
Speaker 3: am I doing wrong?

2766
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:09,000
Speaker 2: Edmonton's gonna win, and it's not bad for Canada. Whose

2767
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 2: Canada deserves it? Because Canada, all I have is hockey,

2768
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 2: hockey and curling. That's all I have. And don't tell

2769
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 2: my wife because my wife is Canadian.

2770
01:59:15,560 --> 01:59:18,000
Speaker 16: Please, uh bucke.

2771
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:21,240
Speaker 6: So look, man, I give the Edmonton orders a ton

2772
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:23,320
Speaker 6: of credit. I grew up at a time when Edmonton

2773
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 6: was a dominant franchise, won five out of seven Stanley Cups.

2774
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:28,920
Speaker 6: To see the energy in the building on Friday night,

2775
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:32,080
Speaker 6: that was amazing. Yes, but now we've seen this happen

2776
01:59:32,120 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 6: before where you spend up all this energy to get

2777
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:36,600
Speaker 6: back to even and then you're not able to close

2778
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 6: it out. I think the Filida Panthers get it done.

2779
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:40,120
Speaker 6: They have been the dominant team the early part of

2780
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:42,240
Speaker 6: the series. I think they find their mojor back and

2781
01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 6: they find a way to win it games.

2782
01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:45,960
Speaker 2: They was singing Old Canada Friday night and Edmonton, weren't

2783
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:46,720
Speaker 2: they The fans were.

2784
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 4: I mean they were going crazy. It was banana.

2785
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:50,720
Speaker 6: This is a great atmosphere to watch player. There's nothing

2786
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:51,640
Speaker 6: like playoff hockey.

2787
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:55,280
Speaker 16: Yes, what a story that would be. H So we're

2788
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:57,720
Speaker 16: always so upset when football ends after the Super Bowl

2789
01:59:57,720 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 16: and talking about how we want more football, especially in

2790
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 16: the spring. That being said, most people didn't know that

2791
02:00:02,440 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 16: the Birmingham Stallions actually won the UFL championship. Who do

2792
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 16: you blame, Bucky?

2793
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 4: I just look. I think spring football digrade.

2794
02:00:12,600 --> 02:00:14,880
Speaker 6: The numbers were solid throughout the time, I just don't

2795
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 6: know if our country has the capacity to have spring

2796
02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 6: football fever.

2797
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:21,800
Speaker 4: Where we look at all the games like watch the NFL.

2798
02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 4: It was a great thing.

2799
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 6: Birmingham put off at three feet just not enough attention

2800
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 6: on the sport.

2801
02:00:27,480 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 2: I got an idea for the owners of the Birmingham Styllis,

2802
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:33,000
Speaker 2: move your games to Rickwood Stadium because it only holds

2803
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:34,080
Speaker 2: eighty three hundred people.

2804
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:36,680
Speaker 3: That's all you need really go to play at football.

2805
02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:38,760
Speaker 2: I mean you know what what people will come because

2806
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:41,200
Speaker 2: to the nostalgia of Rickwood. So play the football games

2807
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:43,400
Speaker 2: at Rickwood Stadium, please, that's what they gotta do.

2808
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:44,400
Speaker 5: All right.

2809
02:00:44,440 --> 02:00:45,520
Speaker 16: That's this week's playing game.

2810
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:48,040
Speaker 3: Really good. It was very good.

2811
02:00:48,080 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 2: Stay let's stay keep it here please, Mike Harmon, Ryan

2812
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:53,440
