I don't think that this will ever be duplicated. 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: I think I am making history. It's hard to believe 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 2: that you and Rich were actually teammates your final year 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: in Arizona. Yeah, he had a one year stop of 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: teen his New England days and the Charger days. Did 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: you ever speak to Rich Ornberger during that year you 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: shared in Arizona? Yeah? I did, I remember Rich. 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: I mean Rich always had that like super mature mentality 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: about him. Oh yeah, just by the book down the 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: business that was Rich. 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 4: One. 25 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: Are we talking about Rich and the same guy I 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: know her that I know when I know him. So 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: this may be me showing you how much I did 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: talk to him as well. Yeah, exactly, so he is 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: the class clown. But Carrie is great to have you 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: here today. We got a lot of things are going 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: to cover, you know. We uh, we obviously talk a 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: lot of NFL football, and there's a reason for that. 33 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: I was talking today. I was actually at a celebration 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: of life for an antemine that passed away. She had 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: a long, wonderful life. I was catching it with some 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: of my first cousins and we're just talking about NFL 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: in general, and Carrie, no, my background working for the Raiders, 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: you know, one hundred years ago, and just how much 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: this league has changed. So even though we have this 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: very brief hiatus until we get to training camps and 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: everything else that's coming, let me ask you this carry. So, 42 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: when you were playing in the NFL these couple of 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: weeks before training camp, because you were always in shape 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: and everything else, but did you take it second, how 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: did you prepare yourself for something that once you're a veteran, 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: once you've established yourself as a guy that's going to 47 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: be on the team, how did you prepare yourself for 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: the grind? That is always training camp. Yeah, it always. 49 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: It changed obviously, you know, when you come in as 50 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: a young guy, you're trying to do all the things. 51 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: You're trying to be ultra ready, and even as a vet, 52 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: that still happens. It's just the mode of operation, right, 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: So as a rookie, I'm coming in full blast, not 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 3: really knowing how to gauge how long this thing is 55 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: really going to be during the season. So you come 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: in all the way to the last day, you're doing curls, 57 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: and you're doing extra hill spints, and you're trying to 58 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: get ready to come into it right. And then as 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: you get older, you get to delegate and put that 60 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: workload in the proper place. 61 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: And so that's what kind of happened, right. 62 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: I started to come out here and work out in 63 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: La work out with Tom Brady a little bit. We 64 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: had the same trainer at the time, and you kind 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: of pace yourself for the grind, and I think it's 66 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: called work smarter, not harder. You still work hard, but 67 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: you know how to do it a little smarter. So 68 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: that's what happens with age. 69 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: I mean back in the day, training camps started right 70 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: after fourth at July. I mean we're talking two days 71 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: in the heat of July. Fortunately they got wise so 72 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: that that was not a good way to survive a 73 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: long season. But that's where everyone is right now. With 74 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: training camps open up, we have a lot of teams 75 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: I want to get to today, but I want to 76 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: get things started with your team, the Jets team you 77 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: came up with. Obviously I missed you by year. I 78 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: actually now that they're going to be on Hard Knocks. 79 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: I went to Courtland to cover Hard Knocks in twenty ten. 80 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: There's a couple of takeaways. I had my buddy Victor Brick, 81 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: and I and sam Ba Tash, our producer, went all 82 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: the way to Cortland in the middle of nowhere there 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: and for training camp. The things that really sort of 84 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: set me off immediately was, uh, when Rex Ryan, the 85 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: coach came over to speak with us, his veneers were 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: so white. I'm like, does he understand those do not 87 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: look normal? Like I'm like, dude, what is up with 88 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: those teeth? Yeah they were shining. Oh mom, well they 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: were shining for sure. They were pretty big. It was unreal. 90 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: It was blinded. I never seen he opened his mouth 91 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: and I'm like, what is up with those things on 92 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: your teeth? 93 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: Plus the tan? So the tan kicked it off even more. 94 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: It wasn't like there was this pale lineup and then 95 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: just went into the teeth. It was like this, I'm 96 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: gonna be really dark with the face. We're gonna let 97 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 3: the teeth show as well. And it was a big thing. 98 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: It was you know, he still has them, by the way, 99 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: if you really notice, I'm like, you know, you know, 100 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: you know, you want to have no white teeth. You 101 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: don't want to have dirty teeth. But these things were 102 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: just absolutely obscene. The other thing I remember is my partner, 103 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: Victor Brick, who is a lifetime Jets fan and old 104 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: enough to remember the Jets victory in Super Bowl three. 105 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: Joe Namath was literally his greatest sports here of all time, 106 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: and we'd actually met at a previous Super Bowl in Miami. 107 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: Joe had come over, but this time Joe's sitting there 108 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: in Courtland and he's sitting across from us, and he's 109 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: got his Super Bowl three ring on, and Vtb's like, 110 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: I need to kiss the ring and he pulls name 111 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: is hand toward him and he starts to, you know, 112 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 2: like he's gonna kiss the ring, and you know, Joe 113 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: jerked his hand away, like what are you doing. You 114 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: don't kiss the ring without permission. Yeah, nobody kisses that ring. 115 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: You could admire ring. I could show you the ring. Yeah, 116 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: I appreciate that you appreciate me, but no, you're not. 117 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: You did not smooch the ring. Yeah, that's that's a 118 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 3: little intrusive. I think that would be pushing it. 119 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: I don't know what it's going to be like this time, 120 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: but you know, we have been talking about which team 121 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: is gonna get stuck with Hard Knocks. First of all, 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: are you a Hard Knocks fan as a former NFL player? 123 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: Have you watched Hard Knocks? I've never watched it. 124 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: But funny story is a producer friend of mine actually 125 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: created the show. So yeah, he created the show. He 126 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: told me about he talks about all the time, but 127 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: I have not watched it. Get I don't know if 128 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 3: I'm a good friend or not, or a bad friend 129 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: or I just get enough football so I think that's 130 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: the thing for me. 131 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 2: Well, I mean the biggest feature is the turk you know, 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: is you know is you know, bring your playbook, you know. 133 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: So they'll do it like a like a sidebar feature 134 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: on some really obscure guy that has no chance of 135 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 2: making the team, and then they go through the process 136 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: of them actually being eliminated from the roster. But I 137 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: really want to get into this Jets team right now. 138 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 2: Obviously with the addition of Aaron Rodgers a lot of hype. 139 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: You know, you had the offensive rookie year, they have 140 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: Defensive Rookie of the Year. I think Robert Salad is 141 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: a solid coach, but you got to have a quarterback, 142 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: and they busted on a couple of high picks that 143 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: did not materialize for them. But just from a hard 144 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: knocks standpoint, being in the industry as you are, if 145 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: you're producing this show and you come in with a 146 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: game plan as a producer, like this is what we 147 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: need from you guys so that we get as many 148 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: eyeballs on this show as possible. How would you approach 149 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 2: the Jets on trying to create a show that people 150 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: want to watch. 151 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: Well, I think the lure of the Jets right now 152 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: is they haven't had success in a while as far 153 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: as you know, putting the winning product on the field. 154 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: It's been ten years, well, twelve years, I think, and 155 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: so you want to kind of highlight that first. You 156 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: want to highlight the journey of what that looks like, 157 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: the pieces they put in place, they're bringing the quarterback. 158 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: You know, they're bringing all these guys to also accommodate 159 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: the quarterback. So you want to go tap into that storyline, 160 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: make sure that that breeds and that lives a little bit. Also, 161 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: you know, you want to talk about, you know, the 162 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: history of the Jets' failures in big moments and now 163 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: getting a chance with the quarterback as well, who's had 164 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 3: success but has had a lot of failures as well 165 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: along the way, where a lot of people think he 166 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: should have won more super Bowls by now, right, I 167 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: think that's the consensus. 168 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: So how about into more super Bowls? He's only been 169 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: to one super Bowl? 170 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: That part, you know, so being such a highly talented 171 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: guy as he is, which he's a friend of mine too, 172 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: so I definitely, you know, respect his talent and what 173 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: he brings to the game. But ultimately we judged quarterbacks 174 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 3: by their wins and how many Super Bowls they have. 175 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: Right So to get into that real goat debate, you 176 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: want to play play along with that as well. Bring 177 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 3: that up. And also, I think you want to bring 178 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: up the point that Salah, you know, he really transformed 179 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: these guys and put these guys in their position to 180 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: play well and to win without the hype, without the 181 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 3: fan fare, without the big name quarterback. So you want 182 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: to touch in that as well and see how that union, 183 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: how that connection will really work with Sala and Aaron 184 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: Rodgers moving forward, because Aaron's a big personality, He's smart, 185 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: he knows what he knows. Sala has that team, you know, 186 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: he has the team ready to perform, and so I 187 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: want to see how that connection goes as well. 188 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: All Right, So I tell you what I want to 189 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: get into a little more in depth. Since you know 190 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers coming up on the other shot, I'm going 191 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: to break it because I'm want to get a little 192 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: extra time on the other side here, because I am 193 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: curious when you have a lot of young talent and 194 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: obviously that guy shows up and that balance between the 195 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: excitement of knowing that this team is in the hands 196 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: of someone that knows how to get the job done, 197 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: but not being too. 198 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: Much in awe of that individual. I have history with that, 199 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: so I had the same situation happen. This is history 200 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: repeating itself. In O eight, I had Brett Farv come 201 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 3: in and we had a team that we thought were 202 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: going to be ready to win as well, and so 203 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 3: you know, we were looking at Brett very much in all. 204 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll talk about Eric Mangini handled that Brett 205 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: Favre situation and the current situation with the Jets team. 206 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: Let's face it, folks, of all the teams going into 207 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: this twenty twenty three NFL season, there's more curiosity about 208 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: the team that will be featured on Hard Knocks. That 209 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: would be the New York Jets. He's a New York Jet. 210 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: Carry Rose. We keep it right here.

This is Fox Sports Saturday and 230 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: we're coming alive from the tire Rack dot com studios. 231 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: All right, we're starting to talk a little NFL now 232 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks away. Get the training camp go 233 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 2: and get ready for a huge year in twenty twenty three. 234 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: You got a lot of sidebar stories going on right now. 235 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: But I think for most people curious about this Jets 236 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: team now that Aaron Rodgers has left Green Bay and 237 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: put on a Jets uniform. By the way, his off 238 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: field antics, if I, for the lack of a better word, 239 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 2: really reminiscent of Tom Brady when he left New England 240 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he goes to Tampa and 241 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: he's everywhere like we never heard from him in social media, 242 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: and there's no doubt Aaron Rodgers been very visible ever 243 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: since he was dealt to the Jets. And here he 244 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: is with the Jets right now. So you know Aaron, 245 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: you know this Jets organization. Let's just talk about this 246 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: whole dynamic carry of a player of his caliber, much 247 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: less a quarterback of his caliber joining a rather young team, right, 248 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: great expectations. Obviously, they're playing in a brutal division because 249 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: the Bills are certainly roster wise as good as any 250 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: team in this league, and honestly, the Dolphins aren't far behind. 251 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: So there's going to be challenges just within their own division. 252 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: By the way, don't ever dismiss New England. They don't 253 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: have the town, but they still have the coach. But 254 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: what how do you think this is going to And 255 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 2: you talked about Robert Sala as a veteran coach, a 256 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: guy who's been around many years as an assistant in 257 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: San Francisco. How do you balance that dynamic of allowing 258 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers to do his thing within the framework of 259 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 2: what Robert Sala has in mind for this Jets team. 260 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: I think what that boil, what that broils down to, 261 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 3: is Aaron Rodgers buying in. It's not going to be 262 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: the other way. You're not trying to You're not bringing 263 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: in the superstar talent and the person that's proven, you know, 264 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 3: a proven winner into a situation and saying, mold into 265 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: our system. You're going to bend that a little bit. 266 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: That's part of what greatness does. But Aaron has to 267 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: buy into it. He has to come into it and 268 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: actually come to the coach and say, I'm no different 269 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: than these guys. I don't want to be treated that way. 270 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: I want to be a part of this team in 271 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 3: this situation to win together. So I think it starts there. 272 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: It's not about the coach saying anything about it. It's 273 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: Aaron and those guys buying into it. And I think, 274 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: you know, I've had a little you know, I've had 275 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: some stuff with this as well. Where in O eight 276 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: playing with the Jets as well, same situation, we have 277 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 3: Brett Farvv come in, another Green Bay legend comes in eight. 278 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 3: We're hyped up. We think that you know, obviously it's 279 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: Brett Farv. We're gonna win now, we're good enough to win. 280 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: We had coming off a year where we were a 281 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 3: little down, but we had health and we had players 282 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: that we thought can get it done. We put him 283 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 3: on the pedestal. Obviously Brett situation, he did not buy 284 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: into the team. He was more of a loner and 285 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: more of a guy that was you know, about his 286 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 3: brand and so he had He wasn't even changing in 287 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 3: the locker room with us. 288 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: He had his own room and all these down Carrie 289 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: all right, So yeah, I mean what we we knowed 290 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 2: that at the time he did not want to be 291 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: a Jet. He wanted to go to the Vikings, where 292 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: he went the following couple of years. But there's no 293 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: way green Bay was obviously going to trade him to 294 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: the Vikings in their own division, right, So went okay, 295 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: because obviously you know Aaron Rodgers, I have no clue, 296 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: but he would strike me as a guy because he 297 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: does talk a lot about individual achievement. He will bring 298 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: up his MVP awards, you know, and I've never heard 299 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: Tom Brady say that. You know, how there is and 300 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: the late great Kobe Bryant, who I did know very well, 301 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: and I used to say this to his face, that 302 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: he was really an individual in a team sport. He's 303 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: very conscious of his self right, and to a large degree, 304 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: that's why he was the player he was, much as 305 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: I'm sure that's the reason Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback 306 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: he is and that Brett Farv was. So if Aaron Rodgers, 307 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: do you believe Aaron Rodgers will follow a similar path 308 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: in a certain separation of him from his teammates or 309 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: is he going to be one of the guys. I 310 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: think he's gonna be one of the guys. 311 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: And I think he's really been cognizant of that in 312 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: his time there already. Right, you see all the outings 313 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: he's had, he's been with multiple players on that team. 314 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 3: He's definitely extended himself to those guys and trying to 315 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: you know, you know, be involved with those guys. And 316 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 3: I don't think that's been part of his past. So 317 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: I know he's going into it with a conscious effort 318 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: to do that. Now, if things get rocky, maybe that changes. 319 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: But to start right now, he's been a model citizen 320 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: and I really believe that he's ready to win, and 321 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: I think he wants to prove so much this year. 322 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: All Right, let's go eyeball tests on Aaron Rodgers. Now 323 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: we know what he's done right, But my eyeball test 324 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: watching Aaron Rodgers in twenty twenty two, you think he 325 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: went down. Huh oh, yeah, now you know, and we 326 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: you know, I used to think like the Drew Breeses 327 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: of the world. See, Drew Brees was very fortunate because 328 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: Sean Payton modified the offense for the diminishing arm strength 329 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: of Drew Brees to the point where he's throwing ten 330 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: yard passes at an insanely high completion rate. But they 331 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: weren't getting the ball down the field. But when you 332 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: look at guys like Peyton Manning and Brett Farr who 333 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: seemingly could go forever, but the year that they went 334 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: off the cliff, they went off the cliff and that 335 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 2: was it. So what Aaron Rodgers from a talent standpoint 336 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: are the Jets going to see in twenty twenty three. 337 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: They're still seeing a guy that's only a year removed 338 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: from winning MVP. Yeah, he's not that far off from 339 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: that guy. Now, obviously, time does catch up with you, 340 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 3: and you know you have to start changing things about 341 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 3: your game. But his arm strength is so crazy and 342 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: so ridiculous, and his arm talents still that way. It's 343 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: just even a little drop off with the arm strength 344 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: of him, he'll still be fine. 345 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean and again, if you're a coordinator 346 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: or a head coach working with a quarterback with that 347 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: kind of resume. We saw what Bruce arians do with 348 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: Tom Brady. I mean he pretty much. I mean, Bruce 349 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: is an offensive coach, so he had a pretty good 350 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: game plan, but once the game began, you got to 351 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: put trust in your quarterback. You have to. 352 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: And I think the good thing about this is well 353 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: as bringing in offensive coordinator that he had before, who 354 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: has you know, some you know, has some space there 355 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: with them being you know, being successful together. He knows 356 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 3: all his strengths and his weaknesses. So I think they're 357 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: gonna be fine. 358 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: I really do. 359 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: I think with the talent they have and the receivers 360 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 3: that they have out there, and the running backs as well, 361 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 3: and if they add Dalvin Cook to this mix, it's 362 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 3: going to be crazy. 363 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: Well. It's interesting because we've been hearing rumors about New 364 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 2: England maybe going after d Hop and Dalvin Cook, two 365 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 2: players they desperately need. With the anonymous skill guys they 366 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: got going on in New Inga. I'm sure Bill O'Brien, 367 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator love to have some of the names 368 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: out there. What do you think. I mean, Obviously you 369 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: have a young running back, Breese Hall, who might have 370 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: been the offensive Rookie of the Year had he not 371 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: got to hurt Wilson ends up winning that award. Is 372 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: there a place for Dalvin Cook on that team? 373 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: I think it is nowadays. The two headed monster thing 374 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: is what they do in the league. Now, it's not 375 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 3: about the stud one running back that carries the ball 376 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 3: of time. Alvin Cook wants to get paid though you 377 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: realize that he does, but I think they compliment each 378 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 3: other so well. They'll both Dalvin Cooks a little bit 379 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: more powerful, I think than Breeze. They're both they're both shifty, 380 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: being able to share that load, and especially for Breeze, 381 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: it's come up an injury, so you don't want to 382 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 3: give him too much to start anyway. So you know 383 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: they'll both get their fair share and winning cures all 384 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 3: there too. I think if they both play well and 385 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: they win, the money will come all right. 386 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: So the thing about Kerry is he's spent a life 387 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: in the entertainment business as a player. As an athlete, 388 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 2: you're in the entertainment business and then you get into 389 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 2: your acting work and your video work, and video and 390 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: the wholestal bank. So along the way, if you're going 391 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: to maintain a life in the entertainment field, which I 392 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 2: know you're going to meet some really strange people, then 393 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: really march to their own tune. Which is something that 394 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: strikes me about Aaron Rodgers. He's almost amplified the fact that, yeah, 395 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 2: I think differently, I act differently, whether it's you know, 396 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: sitting in a box room to contemplate his future, whatever 397 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: it might be. I didn't think for a second he 398 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: was going to walk away from fifty million dollars guaranteed. 399 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: I thought he said I was ninety percent retired, and 400 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: then oh, that's right, I got to guaranteed money of him. Yeah, 401 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: be rather dumb. But from what you gather with Aaron Rodgers, 402 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: when you do have eccentric type personalities, how does that 403 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: work in the locker room? I think it's I think 404 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: it's valued. 405 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 3: We're not all the same, and I know, you know, 406 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: people want to think that in the locker room everybody 407 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 3: has to be the same. You got to be on 408 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 3: the same a cord to win. You got to be 409 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 3: on the same accord to win. That is true. But 410 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 3: if you look at all these teams in the past 411 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: that had these eccentric these eccentric talents and people on 412 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: the team, and you can think of off the top 413 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 3: of my head, I'll think of the Baltimore Ravens, right, 414 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 3: how colorful that defense was, How colorful to those personalities was. 415 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 3: They just didn't matter about them individually as their personalities. 416 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 3: They all ended up messing in, went together because they 417 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: wanted to win. 418 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: And so if you. 419 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: Want to win more than you being that personality, you 420 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 3: have a chance to win. And I think with Aaron 421 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: in this situation, so many people are doubting him, so 422 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 3: many people want to see him fail. And for me, 423 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 3: I love to see the eccentric nature of people. I 424 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: want people to be their own them own selves, right, 425 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 3: And so seeing this and seeing him step into this 426 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 3: space where it looks like he's going to be that 427 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: leader and lead those guys to a victory, that's what 428 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 3: I want to say. 429 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: You mentioned that legendary of Ravens defense I had in 430 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: studio years ago. Ray Lewis spend you know, fifteen minutes 431 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: in studio with him, and within two minutes I understood 432 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: why this guy is such a leader. I look at 433 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: leaders this way, either you have it or not. Leader 434 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: by definition is someone that inspires others to follow. I 435 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: mean ray Lewis was just I mean, like it, I 436 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: get it. The epitome of that, Yeah, is Aaron Rodgers 437 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: a leader? You would have to ask the people and 438 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: that long to aspire others to follow. 439 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: He's a little he's a little eccentric in the personality 440 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: of what you're saying, and it could and then you 441 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 3: know what's the funny thing about that is it can 442 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: come off to other people as other things, right, And 443 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 3: so the people in the room with him, who really 444 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: know him could answer that totally different differently us on 445 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 3: the outside of the locker room. We can see it 446 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 3: and be like, I don't think he's a good leader, 447 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 3: or I think he finds finds for himself, or all 448 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 3: these different portrayals of the guy, which are fair. If 449 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: you don't know, you can make that assessment, but you 450 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 3: really only truly know if you're in that locker room. 451 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: So if you hear noise from the inside, that's a 452 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 3: different thing. But our own opinions are differently. 453 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: Wow, I love this kind of stuff all right, much 454 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: more here with Kerry Rose a reminder a game.

In the moment of the day, 494 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 6: Steph Curry had a hole in one on the par 495 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 6: three seventh from one hundred and fifty two yards, he 496 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 6: ran the entire one hundred and fifty two yards in 497 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 6: a dead sprint to the hole. 498 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: It was a second hole in one. 499 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 6: Ever, he's actually tied now with Marty Fish at the 500 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 6: top of the leader board because Curry has gone on 501 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 6: to have a couple of bogies with the former tennis 502 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 6: player and the Warriors star. There tied at the top 503 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 6: of the leaderboard. Back to you guys, Hi, Nick, thank 504 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 6: you very much. Once again we're coming to live from 505 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,239 Speaker 6: the Tirak Doc studios. Yeah, I was reminded to of 506 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 6: Androsova wins today the Wimbledon. 507 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 2: She is a journeyman, so to speak. She's one of 508 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: those early exit people that show up at these Grand 509 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 2: Slam tournaments. She didn't make a run to the French 510 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: Open final a few years back. When when you're watching 511 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: sports in general, are you a fan of the underdog 512 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 2: or do you want greatness to shine? How do you 513 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 2: feel about that? I mean it's sort of a mixed bag, 514 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: Like we have these underdog stories that are great, but 515 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: when you have superstars that actually deliver, I don't know 516 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: how which way do you lean on that. It's that's 517 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: a tough question both. There's a little bit of both there. 518 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: I think it depends on if I have a root 519 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: and interest in that, in that in that champion. If 520 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 3: I don't, then a lot of times I do want 521 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 3: to see the underdog compete and make it, you know, 522 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: make it interesting, so to speak. But in my days 523 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: were talking about tennis. I mean, I was andre a 524 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 3: huge andre Agasi fan, right, so when he played, I 525 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 3: mean you always get excited for him to come out 526 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 3: and do his thing. And those long matches with him 527 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 3: and Pete Sampras back in the day so magical. 528 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 2: I mean, when we had Americans that were actually winning 529 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 2: Grand Slams. Yeah, with the Jim Curriers and the Michael 530 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: Changs of the world. Yeah, a different era. That's the sport. Unfortunately, 531 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 2: I want to ask you this, and this is a 532 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: bit of a loaded question. So Vandrosova, she wins Wimbledon, 533 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: congratulations from her. You win seven matches in two weeks. 534 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 2: That's impressive. Women play two out of three sets, the 535 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: men played three out of five. At these Grand Slam tournaments. 536 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: She will get the exact same paycheck as the winner 537 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: of tomorrow's men's Championship between the top two seeds Okaedz 538 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: and Djokovic. I am a big believer in equal pay 539 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: for equal play, but it's not equal play. I mean, 540 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: if the men are playing three out of five and 541 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: the winner are playing two out of three and getting 542 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 2: the exact same paycheck, I don't know. How do you 543 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 2: feel about this is a loaded question, by the way, 544 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: you can actually say I refuse to answer that question, Hartman, 545 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: But how do you feel about that? 546 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 3: That's that's another interesting point and topic. I didn't know 547 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 3: they had the same person. 548 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: And one of the Grand Slams the women fought for 549 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 2: and God for all four Grand Slams every round the 550 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: winners get the exact same paycheck. 551 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's a great day at the office. 552 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 3: Then that's what I think about it. See, I think 553 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 3: that's one of those if you can fight for it 554 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 3: and and and you get it approved, I'm all for it. 555 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: I would say, if you got to win three out 556 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: of five, that's a little bit that's a little bit 557 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: more difficult to do, and. 558 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 2: There's no reason and by the way, women are getting 559 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 2: one might have been pressed on this, they said, well 560 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: they've had tournament. They can obviously play three out of five. 561 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: I mean there's you know, I don't know why if 562 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: you if you're goal pay for equal play, if you're 563 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: changing history, change it all the way around. Then played 564 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: played played the best out of five. Yeah, I mean 565 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: I I think we're at that age, time and space 566 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: where we can absolutely do that, all right. I want 567 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: to get back a little bit to some NFL news 568 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 2: here and the John Gruden situation. So the other day 569 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: I get a call from our bruddy bow. He wanted 570 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: me to go on with Mike Harmon and Arnie Spanier 571 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: with my Raider background because they were curious about how 572 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 2: much of what's happening today in terms of John Gruden, 573 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 2: his association with the Raiders and Roger Goodell, has anything 574 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: to do with what happened years ago with Pete Roselle 575 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: and Al Davis. And my response was very straightforward, everything everything. 576 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 2: When the Raiders left Oakland and moved to Los Angeles, 577 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 2: the owners voted on the Raiders move to LA it 578 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: was twenty five nothing against. And now Davis did it anyway, 579 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 2: and then he took the NFL to court and won 580 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: in court. Wow, And I knew that Mark Davis, even 581 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: though he had no direct association with the organization. One 582 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: thing I've always said about Mark Davis, He's a lot 583 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 2: smarter than you think he is. I know he's got 584 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: the dumb and dumber haircut, but I'm telling you I've 585 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: known Mark Davis. That's a smart dude. From a business standpoint, 586 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: run circles around his father, So I was never everyone's 587 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: in doubt, like they'll wrestle that Raiders organization away from 588 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 2: him because it's a valuable brand. He doesn't have a 589 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: lot of money outside of the value of the team. 590 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: The Davis family actually owns less than half of the team. 591 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: So you know, get the team to Vegas, let's force 592 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: him out and get some real ownership in I said, 593 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: not so fast. But this whole Grooden situation I think 594 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: stems a lot from that, you know, going back to 595 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: the tuck rule and everything else that went against the Raiders. 596 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: And believe me, I got an earfull of it over 597 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: the years about the conspiracies and everything else. But it 598 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: just seems now as we've taken a time to sort 599 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: of look at what happened here, like you're doing this 600 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: investigation on the then Redskins organization right, truly trying to 601 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: find stuff to get Daniel Snyder out as the owner. 602 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: Six hundred and fifty thousand emails, and the only emails 603 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: that become public are off color comments made by John 604 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: Gruden to Bruce Allen in the organization. And then immediately, 605 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 2: you know, Mark Davis gets a phone call saying, if 606 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: you don't fire him or figure out something or get 607 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: something done, we got more emails that could embarrass you. 608 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: What do you make of this whole thing? I'm just curious. 609 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 2: I mean, like, I mean, you talk about a Hollywood script, like, 610 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: what the hell is this? It's one of those things. 611 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: I just don't understand. What. 612 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a very it's a very fishy subject. 613 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 3: I mean, to say the least. 614 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: Well. I mean, if you're Gruden, he's he's gonna go 615 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 2: full bore after the NFL. He should, right, he should. 616 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 2: I mean for sure he's never going to coach again. 617 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: I would any NFL team, even if even if players 618 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: have vouched for recruiting saying he's not a racist. I 619 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: don't see anything here. He was having some goofball off 620 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: color comments to a friend e private emails, and now 621 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 2: he's exiled from the league. 622 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 3: If they had if they had a chance to look 623 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: at anybody's emails, anybody's texts from anytime, there's gonna be 624 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 3: something in there that you would probably want back. So 625 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 3: the fact that they're putting that out there and shifting 626 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 3: it straight towards him solely and not even the topic 627 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 3: of what was really going on is. 628 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: Very It's just it's crazy to me. 629 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: But you talk about him in particular, he's not going 630 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: to get a chance to get back in the league, 631 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 3: and so you know, you see him out doing these 632 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 3: videos of coaching and getting other guys and mentoring and 633 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: still getting players ready to play and shine on the 634 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 3: NFL level. I mean, that's great to see. But yeah, 635 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: I think his days are over all. 636 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: Right, So we assume that these billionaire owners have all 637 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: got skeletons in their class, one hundred percent all of 638 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 2: them as a player, because I think you're a lot 639 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 2: of people are curious out there, especially with the money 640 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: that professional athletes make these days, life changing money for 641 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: themselves and in many cases generations to come. Do you 642 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 2: really care who's handing you that check? 643 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: That's another good question. I think as you get older 644 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: that would change you would be more aware of the 645 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: people that are in your life and the people that 646 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: are giving you things, because all things aren't equal, and 647 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 3: that's the truth. And I think when you're younger and 648 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 3: you're coming out of college and you're coming out of 649 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 3: these impoverished situations where you're seeing these large sums of money, 650 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna you're gonna take that from whoever's 651 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 3: giving it to you, right, But as you get older, 652 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: start having families, start being aware of social social issues 653 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 3: and all the things that are going on with the world. 654 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 3: I do think that changes. And I know that you know, 655 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 3: having the power some guys have to be able to 656 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: stay in situations or move on from situations. If the 657 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 3: person in control is a racist or somebody's not a 658 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 3: good person, you're not going to want to be involved 659 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 3: with that person. So I think it changes as you 660 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 3: get older. Money talks. Money does talk, but you can't 661 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 3: live with yourself. I think after that, if you're really 662 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 3: working on yourself being a good human and a good 663 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 3: person as well, you can't associate yourself with the likes 664 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 3: of those people. 665 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: Well, and my point is this, if you're going to 666 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 2: be a spokesperson for a social cause and you're you're 667 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: making that conscious decision that you want to make your 668 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: beliefs public, right, and not everyone has to. But if 669 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 2: you choose to go that path, but you're taking money 670 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: from people that are literally doing what you're going against. Yeah, 671 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we call the height of hypocrisy. 672 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: If you're even aware of. 673 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: It, if you're aware of it, if you have making 674 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: the conscious decision with that knowledge, yeah, yeah, you're part 675 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: of the problem. And I know it's hard to say 676 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: when that those sums of money you're coming to you 677 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 3: will come into those guys as individuals. But if you 678 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: are a part of that and you have this knowledge 679 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: of it, you're just as wrong about it. 680 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. All right. Coming up on the other side, we 681 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: got a lot of NBA trade rumors. Damian Lillard, what 682 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 2: is the latest? And Damian Lillard I got my theory. 683 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 2: I know Carrie's got some thoughts as well. This is 684 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Harbin, carry roads with you Fox 685 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: Sports Saturday. We are live from the tire Rack dot 686 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: Com studios. Brandon our producers here. So you and Carrie 687 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: were talking about a comedian Brandon. 688 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 7: Yeah, so I heard Carrie a few years ago, actually 689 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 7: on a podcast. I mentioned this to him on a 690 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 7: podcast called The Lions Den. It was with Brent Moran 691 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 7: and this other comedian, Jason Collins, and I was telling 692 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 7: him he was great on the podcast and Brent Moorean's 693 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 7: super funny, and he was telling him he's one of 694 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 7: his one of his good friends. 695 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 3: Brent's a really good guy, really funny. I guess now 696 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 3: we're going to give Brent his his time. 697 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 2: So Brent, we love you. Brince is not a pay 698 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 2: all of plug all. He's not getting anything, but Brent's great. Yeah, 699 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: that's excellent. All right. I want to ask you about 700 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: Dame Lillard. All right, So from the get go, as 701 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: soon as it was announced that Damian Lillard wanted to 702 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 2: be traded, immediately my thought went back a year ago 703 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: to Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant had multiple years left on 704 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 2: his contract with the Brooklyn Nets Joe Say, who bought 705 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: the team for a record amount of money. The idea 706 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: that he was going to just trade him because he 707 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: wants to get traded when I have you under contract 708 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: is pure fantasy unless we get more than your market value. 709 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: And as we know, Kevin Durant did not get traded 710 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: before the season. He started the year with the Nets. 711 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 2: Same thing with Kyrie Irvy. So this idea that if 712 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 2: you want to get traded when you have a sign contract. 713 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 2: If you look at Damian Lillard's current deal, he is signed, 714 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 2: lock and key for the next three years, and then 715 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 2: he has a player option in twenty six, twenty seven 716 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: to four sixty two million dollars. Just let's let's think 717 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 2: about those paychecks every two weeks anyway. So when the 718 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 2: Blazers responded by saying, hey, we'll do what we can, 719 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 2: but understand we're gonna do what's best for the organization, 720 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 2: I was laughing yesterday when I'm hearing like the Miami 721 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 2: are offering three number ones and Tyler Herro, who the 722 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 2: Blazers of over a, said, we have no interest in 723 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 2: Hero at all. And I'm thinking, you're not even halfway 724 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 2: to a deal, right, not even halfway to a deal 725 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: if I'm the Portland Trailer, because they're under no pressure. 726 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 2: He's not a walkaway free agent, he's under contract. So 727 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 2: you want to wrestle one of the best players in 728 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 2: the league, one of the shooters of all time, give 729 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 2: me six number ones, even if you got to get 730 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 2: somebody else's three and they ear three, and I want 731 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 2: three proven. You don't have to give me Bam, you 732 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 2: don't have to give me Jimmy Butler, But I want 733 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 2: everybody else he got left. I want. I want this 734 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 2: idea that you could make a deal for a guy 735 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 2: who's under contract, which is why Kevin Durant was not traded, right, 736 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: He wasn't traded until the roof caved in on the 737 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: net season. Then they said, fine, we'll get rid of 738 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 2: this guy and they got a boatload and return by 739 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 2: the way from Phoenix. How did that work for the 740 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 2: Suns when you got your roster to get a guy. Yeah, 741 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 2: So I believe it when the Blazers came out a 742 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 2: couple of days ago saying, yeah, this could take a 743 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 2: while yet. 744 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously when the president's being set with players 745 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 3: like Rudy Gobert, what was it, six seven first round picks? Bear, So, 746 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 3: I hear where you're coming from. Do you want a 747 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 3: disc ronald star on your team. 748 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 2: Or talk about that? Just match? Okay? All right? So 749 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 2: for the rest of us normal people, the idea idea 750 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 2: of being disgruntled when you're making forty to fifty sixty 751 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 2: million dollars a year just seems foreign to us. Right. 752 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 2: The fact is he signed that contract. By the way, 753 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 2: when he signed the contract, he did so publicly stating 754 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 2: he wanted to be a Blazer for life. Yeah yeah, Well, 755 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 2: so why do I as an owner? Because if I 756 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 2: I'm not going to get anyone in return that's going 757 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 2: to be of his level. He is the greatest Blazer 758 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 2: of all time, with all due respect to the Bill 759 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 2: Waltons of the world and the Clyde Drexler's, this is 760 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 2: the best lifer got it in Blazer's history. Why do 761 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 2: I have to buckle to his demands as an owner? 762 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 3: Let's look at it from the player's standpoint. Okay, he's 763 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 3: been super loyal, he's been the model citizen, the model 764 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 3: player for the organization. Has got gotten you really close 765 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 3: to the promised land. Hasn't gotten it done. 766 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 2: One trip to the Western Conference finals, that's it. That's it. 767 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 3: But always competitive, always in the mix for the top 768 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: four and that in that in that division, and you know, 769 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 3: brought a lot of good days and good times to 770 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 3: the organization. Right, if we talk about loyalty and we 771 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 3: talk about all these things where you know, we want 772 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,479 Speaker 3: our players to be loyal to organizations, and I think 773 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 3: vice vice versa. The players want that loyalty as well. 774 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 3: Time is time is served, time is up. 775 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 2: I know, sign I know, we just I know we 776 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 2: can say that, but I think ultimately he did want 777 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 2: to do that. But when they gut the when they 778 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 2: cut at the roster and got rid of his run 779 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,959 Speaker 2: and made CJ. McCullum and they got worse as a team, 780 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 2: you're not doing him any favors either. So you got 781 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 2: a shoot handers you're bringing in, you know, bringing cool 782 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 2: he's unproven, Well of course he's unproven, but he's a 783 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 2: high draftic and he's got promised on everyone. And I 784 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 2: talked to you say he might be the best of 785 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 2: the lot of these rookies and in and oportunity to 786 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 2: make an immediate impact. I just I don't know. Like 787 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 2: I said, nobody forced him to sign a contract extension. 788 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 2: If he had concerns about the direction of the organization, 789 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 2: he could have played out his deal, or he could 790 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 2: have done what Lebron did start signing shorter term contracts. 791 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 2: So if he only signed for a couple of years, 792 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 2: duranted the same thing where you can then move in 793 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 2: a couple of years. He didn't do that, and he's 794 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 2: getting thrown a ton of money. I just I'm sorry. 795 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 2: I just the idea. And people argue about, well, should 796 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,720 Speaker 2: players have this, Well, if a player, if a player 797 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 2: feels they can move, that's on ownership. That's on ownership. 798 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 2: If you're if you're buckling to a player's demands who 799 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 2: has a contract with you to trade him away and 800 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 2: not getting the equal and return, shame on you as 801 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 2: an owner. I agree with you, I don't disagree. 802 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to The conversation is such a broader 803 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 3: one than that because of the information that we've received 804 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 3: along the way. Dame has always been a stand up 805 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 3: guy and always spoke really highly about the organization, and 806 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 3: he's going to be there and all that stuff. 807 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 2: So it's it's a crazy it's a crazy situation.

You know, usually for most athletes, and 827 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 2: again there are late bloomers. They are exceptions to every rule. 828 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 2: But if you've got the it factor as an athlete, 829 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 2: they find out early and then you're nurtured, you know, 830 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 2: eventually through your high school years, and then if you're 831 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 2: good enough, you make the cut to the college level, 832 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 2: and then if you get to the ultimate cut, you 833 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: become a professional athlete and all the good things that 834 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 2: come with it. And I've known athletes that have understood 835 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 2: that this is going to be a limited situation. And 836 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 2: I've seen other athletes, no matter how much money they're making, 837 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 2: are literally living paycheck to paycheck. But what they are 838 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 2: not always prepared for is when they step off the 839 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 2: field for the last time, and we hear horror stories. 840 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 2: I mean we hear seventy percent some ungodly number of 841 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 2: NFL players within two years of their final game either 842 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 2: or just flat broke or a file for bankruptcy. The 843 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 2: money is gone, and the idea that you can step 844 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 2: into an announcer's job there aren't many of those, And 845 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 2: as we're seeing networks, they're cutting jobs, not adding jobs. 846 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 2: So I was curious, Kerry, because you've you've had a 847 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 2: very specific road in your post football career in the 848 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 2: entertainment field, and you've ventured in a lot of different things, 849 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 2: from acting to singing, I'm in a variety of things. 850 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 2: Was that something that you were conscious of when you played, 851 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: where you approached, you know, saying all right, well here's 852 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 2: a really good looking guy. You might be able to 853 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 2: do something like this. And I'm always curious not only 854 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 2: your own path, but do you lend your own experience 855 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 2: to other players that are going to all be facing 856 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 2: the same situation, situation when their athletic career ends. 857 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 3: See, that's part of my life mission right now. Yeah, 858 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 3: to use my voice to give those guys the blueprint 859 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 3: of what it can look like and what it can 860 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 3: feel like for you after you're done. So me coming 861 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 3: into the game, I told my mother when I first 862 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 3: got drafted, Yeah, I'll play four years. 863 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 2: And I'll be done. 864 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get ready for my post career. I was 865 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 3: a writer, I was producing. I made a one man 866 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 3: play in seventh grade. So I've always been that guy. 867 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 3: And then you get to this, you know, get to 868 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 3: this level of being really really good at something where 869 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 3: it's a god given gift that you have to you know, 870 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 3: curate and you have to put into work to make it, 871 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 3: make it what it is. So you put some of 872 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 3: those other things to decide that you other passions you 873 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 3: may have, and you focus on that one passion that's 874 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 3: bringing the bacon home, so to speak. Right, So you've 875 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 3: really put in all that time. That's such a you 876 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 3: and we're taught to do that, and it's such a 877 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 3: such a crazy dynamic because you're putting all your eggs 878 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 3: in this one basket, which a lot of players do 879 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 3: and we're told to do, but you're limiting these other 880 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 3: things that you can do after. Even in the offseason. 881 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 3: There's certain things certain time that you can express and 882 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 3: lend some of your talent and energy to that stuff. 883 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 3: But we're so one dimensional while we're playing, and for 884 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 3: good reason, because it's your craft. But I want guys 885 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 3: to understand that during the season, yes, it's all about that, 886 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 3: but once you're done, like work on some of those 887 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 3: things that you want to do some of the passions 888 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 3: that you want to do after. So the shock of 889 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 3: when that last play comes and you can't do it anymore, 890 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 3: that depression that follows for a lot of guys in 891 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 3: that situation can be non existent for them if they're 892 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 3: gearing up for what's to come. This thing doesn't last long, 893 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 3: and I just I've been a big advocate of talking 894 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 3: about that and sharing my journey with it. 895 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people would say, well, look, you've 896 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 2: made enough money to last your lifetime. You don't have 897 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 2: to worry work. Yeah, but you have to have a purpose. 898 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 3: You have to have a purpose, and you do have 899 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 3: to work. There's other things you have to do. I mean, 900 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 3: this money, even now with the inflation and stuff that 901 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 3: we have going on in the world, two million dollars, 902 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 3: three million dollars isn't doesn't go as long as it 903 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 3: used to back in the day. So you think you're 904 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 3: fine and you think you're set for after, but the truth, 905 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 3: you know, the reality of that situation is you're not. 906 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 3: And especially if you're talking about bringing kids in other 907 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,359 Speaker 3: situations and having wives and all these things. If you're 908 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 3: a single living with three million dollars, that's that can 909 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 3: go a little bit. Yeah, but when you're married and 910 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 3: have kids, that does not go the same the same. 911 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, that's married. Guys with kids know all 912 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 2: about that exactly. So just the awareness of that. And 913 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 2: I think for me personally, just doing doing the work 914 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 2: and doing the things that I wanted to do, not 915 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,240 Speaker 2: because somebody else said I should do it or somebody 916 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 2: said I shouldn't do it if it feels right to 917 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 2: me inside. It's it's that I talk about God, but 918 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 2: I just like this God energy. If you have that 919 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,839 Speaker 2: and you feel that and it feels right, you do it. 920 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 2: You know. Another former NFL player turned tesviian Eddie George. 921 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 2: I met Eddie a couple of times super Guy, and 922 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 2: he was sort of lost. You know, here was this 923 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 2: incredible physical specimen, huge running back. I mean, he was 924 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 2: a giant man and had all those great years and 925 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,800 Speaker 2: then it just ended and he just went into hiding, 926 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 2: he said, for a while, just completely trying to figure out, Okay, 927 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 2: I had the fame, I've had the fortune, I got 928 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 2: all that, Now what do I do? And he turned 929 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 2: acting and it would just flourished for him. So I 930 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 2: mean that to me is turning the page. You know, 931 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 2: they always say athletes have two deaths, the death of 932 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 2: their athletic career and then their normal life from that 933 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 2: point on. I take it you know Eddie. Yeah, no, 934 00:46:58,640 --> 00:46:59,959 Speaker 2: I know, yeah, we haven't. 935 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 1: Uh. 936 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 2: I mean it's been years though. I mean I haven't 937 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 2: seen Eddie in years, but I definitely know him. Yeah. Yeah, 938 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,880 Speaker 2: But I think what you're speaking on right now it's 939 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 2: very true. 940 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 3: I mean, even me knowing that I was going to 941 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 3: do something else and knowing what I was going to do, 942 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 3: there were still moments of darkness and depression for me. 943 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 3: Because you're leaving this arena where you're you have seventy 944 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 3: thousand people screaming your name and I mean, the only 945 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 3: thing that you can really equate to that is the 946 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 3: life of a rock star or something right where you 947 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 3: really have the control of all these people that are 948 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 3: sitting down watching you and watching your every move oohing 949 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 3: in an eye and with everything that you do, and 950 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 3: then you know you're done, and it's like you're walking 951 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:38,959 Speaker 3: the streets and. 952 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 2: You're that guy that used to do that thing. Yeah, 953 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 2: it's a crazy feeling. I love it. My dear friend 954 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 2: LeVar Arrington big star here at Fox Sports Radio, he says, 955 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: because we were talking about his days of Penn State 956 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 2: happy about hundred thousand fans, and you know, he's a 957 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: superstar obviously in college. He goes, you know what it 958 00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:01,280 Speaker 2: was like for me to walk into that stadium nineteen 959 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 2: twenty years old, raise my hands and one hundred thousand 960 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 2: people get on their feet. I mean, I can't imagine. 961 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 2: Because when we talk about adrenaline rush, people say, well, 962 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,319 Speaker 2: this guy's an adrenaline junkie. Well, we're all, to some 963 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 2: degree adrenaline junkies. We have a certain level of excitement 964 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 2: in our lives whatever the venture might be. But from 965 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 2: an athlete standpoint, and I've known so many you know, 966 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 2: I'm name dropping all over the place, but I mean, 967 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 2: Eric Dickerson has been a dear friend of mine for many, 968 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 2: many years, and it's been thirty years since he played 969 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 2: in the NFL, and we've watched highlights together of his days. 970 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 2: He goes, I know that's me. I know that's me, 971 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,399 Speaker 2: but that's so long ago. I don't even I don't 972 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 2: even really remember that guy being me. I mean, I 973 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 2: know it's me. I'm watching it. I can remember glimpses 974 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, you know, when it was actually happy, 975 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 2: But in retrospect, it's almost hard for me to relate 976 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 2: to that me. 977 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,879 Speaker 3: Oh that's one hundred percent truth, and that's a that's 978 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 3: a real statement because of me too. Moving forward as well, 979 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 3: it's like, all right, this part is gone. Yeah, I 980 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 3: don't want to be the guy that's and it's forty 981 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 3: still talking about that guy like he's the only like 982 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:27,959 Speaker 3: that's the only thing that's ever existed in my world, 983 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 3: in my life. Right, So you want this healthy dissociation 984 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 3: from that. But once you get that disassociation from it, 985 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 3: you also need a healthy association with it as well, 986 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 3: because that guy is very important to the guy that 987 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,839 Speaker 3: you are now as well. So it's just bringing these 988 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 3: worlds emerging, these worlds together. It is what makes it 989 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 3: makes it beautiful. 990 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 2: Being an actor, among other things. How difficult is it, though, 991 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 2: to get away from oh, you played in the NFL 992 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 2: and sort of that lay that you're not really one 993 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 2: of us, you're one of them, and he wanted to 994 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 2: be one of us. 995 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it took the work. It's about putting in the work. 996 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 3: When I first started, obviously I was getting the roles 997 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 3: that kind of fit that narrative, the normal jock roles right. 998 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 3: Also for in my case, you know the quote unquote 999 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 3: good looking boyfriend, the easy stuff that would you know, yeah, 1000 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 3: anybody could do. You have to put in the work. 1001 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 3: I had to prove myself. I had to not use 1002 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 3: all the favors that I had. So you talk about 1003 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 3: being that guy, people didn't know me for being that guy, 1004 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 3: and I purposefully didn't use any of those connections. I 1005 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 3: put into work. I literally tried to not be associated 1006 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 3: with that world at all and do the work. And 1007 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 3: once I did that, I landed landed my first series 1008 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 3: regular job. And once I got that and started showing 1009 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 3: that I could do the work and have the tape 1010 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 3: to prove it. 1011 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 2: The rest was history. Yeah, I mean we've seen it 1012 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 2: happen Fred Dryer going way back in the day. You know, 1013 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,320 Speaker 2: he was one of my favorite RAMS players. He was 1014 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 2: a great player out of San Diego State, by the way. 1015 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 2: And then he's got that role in Hunter. Yeah, and 1016 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, people like looked at him like, wow, 1017 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 2: this guy actually can pull that off. Well, we get 1018 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 2: much more. I love the work that you're doing to 1019 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,919 Speaker 2: help out a lot of these players, but I do, 1020 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 2: on the other side, want to get to the most 1021 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 2: untradable athlete in recent memory.

Sam came in so Sam on all 1030 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 2: the years I've worked with Sam, he doesn't he doesn't 1031 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 2: really listen to a lot of what I'm saying. But 1032 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 2: that's not true. I'm listening right now. Okay, well you're 1033 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 2: wilstening because I mentioned your name but here, and I 1034 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 2: don't hold that against anybody. I guess peaked. None of 1035 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 2: that matters to me. But he brought up a point 1036 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,759 Speaker 2: and I was I was remiss here. So you were 1037 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 2: talking earlier comparing this Aaron Rodgers situation to the situation 1038 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: when you were the Jets, when Brett Farv came to 1039 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,239 Speaker 2: the Jets, and you were talking about Brett Farv, and 1040 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 2: you just sort of threw a line out that like 1041 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 2: he was completely separate from the rest of the team, 1042 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 2: and I stopped you, but I never really went back 1043 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 2: to getting more details. So for Sam and the other 1044 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 2: listeners at the time that want the whole story, when 1045 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,359 Speaker 2: you say that Brett Farv separated himself and that one 1046 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 2: year with the Jets from the rest of the team, 1047 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,439 Speaker 2: give us some detail and exactly how he separated himself. Well, 1048 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, Brett Farv is you know, just take 1049 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,879 Speaker 2: for one instance, dress code, right the team dress code 1050 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:01,800 Speaker 2: for us if we were on the road, if we 1051 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 2: were going outside of the New York metropolitan area, we're 1052 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 2: gonna wear suits. Was that a ownership or is that 1053 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 2: a Mangenie that's a Mangenie order. Okay, so he was 1054 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 2: the coach former Belichick. Is that the way the Patriots 1055 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 2: rolled by the way? I think? So? 1056 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,479 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so that that take that one thing right. 1057 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,239 Speaker 3: And we know we're getting ready for the first game 1058 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,319 Speaker 3: of the season. We're playing Miami down in Miami. Yeah, 1059 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 3: and we're heading into the plane. We see Brett pulling up. 1060 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,799 Speaker 3: Brett has on wranglers. 1061 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for us coming into this whole season, preseason 1062 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 2: training camp, all the things, everything's by the book, everything's 1063 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 2: by the rules. 1064 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 3: It's the Mangenie way, it's a Belichick way, it's a 1065 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 3: it's the Patriot way. That's really what's going on in 1066 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 3: New York at the time. So to have somebody like that, 1067 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 3: obviously we looked up to Brett. We knew about what 1068 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 3: he did before, so we put him on a pedestal. 1069 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,400 Speaker 3: We didn't say much the first time, but when that continued, 1070 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,280 Speaker 3: it started to wear because we weren't having these success 1071 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,439 Speaker 3: early on, so those things ought to wear out. We're 1072 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:05,760 Speaker 3: thin and once you start losing. 1073 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 2: So we had Aaron Rodgers come out and talk about hallucinogenics. Yeah, 1074 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 2: it's something that can work. And I remember at the 1075 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,439 Speaker 2: time I said something along the lines of if I'm 1076 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,240 Speaker 2: Robert Salah, I need to pull him in saying, look, 1077 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 2: you can do what you want to do. Eric, Seriously, 1078 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 2: whatever works for you. I'm one hundred percent out there, 1079 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 2: but understand this what works for you may not work 1080 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 2: for someone else. And you got a big voice because 1081 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,720 Speaker 2: you're Aaron Rodgers. I got a lot of young players 1082 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 2: on this team and they're like, wow, is this something 1083 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:46,399 Speaker 2: I should be doing. I don't know if Sala did 1084 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 2: that or what happened, but when we talk about just 1085 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 2: the locker room itself, So how did this play out 1086 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,800 Speaker 2: with Brett Favre? I mean, was there a point where 1087 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 2: things started to get more separated between he and the 1088 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:00,439 Speaker 2: rest so the team? 1089 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the fishers start coming once you once you know 1090 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 3: it starts with not wearing a suit, right, but then 1091 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,800 Speaker 3: it permeates to something else in the leads to something bigger. 1092 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 3: Where at the end of the at the end of 1093 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,400 Speaker 3: the season, Brett wasn't even we never saw Brett in 1094 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 3: the locker room. 1095 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 2: He had his own place. Yeah, yeah, what do you mean? 1096 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,280 Speaker 3: He had his own place to change with the coaches, 1097 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 3: I'm guessing. I'm guessing we have no we. 1098 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,880 Speaker 2: Have no clue. Here's the quarterback of the team, and 1099 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 2: you don't even know where he's getting dressed. We don't know. 1100 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 3: He had a locker that was in the locker room 1101 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 3: with us that was never used. He was changing somewhere else. 1102 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 3: He was probably eating somewhere else. You know, all the things. 1103 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 3: So there was moments on the field. I mean I 1104 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,800 Speaker 3: had great movements with Brett too. I mean, yeah, Brett. 1105 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 3: I remember it was snowing outside, and I remember this vividly. 1106 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 3: I had my helmet down, and we were me and brother. 1107 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 3: We're friends, We're cool. I'm not talking bad about him, 1108 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 3: it's just the situation what it was. But I remember 1109 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 3: him packing snow and my helme and and I didn't 1110 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 3: I wasn't paying attention, wasn't looking grab my helmet put 1111 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 3: it on, like snowfalls all over my face, which is 1112 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 3: no funny stuff. But yeah, I mean, at the end 1113 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,760 Speaker 3: of the day, it starts fishering when those things are happening, 1114 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 3: and the team starts losing, right And with the guy 1115 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,760 Speaker 3: like Brett, he wasn't even like forthcoming with his injuries 1116 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 3: or anything. So at the end of the year, we're 1117 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 3: nine to three, he hurts his elbow during that season, 1118 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 3: if he rests for two weeks and gets back to 1119 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 3: one hundred percent and then we have a chance to 1120 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 3: clench the playoffs down the line. You do that, you 1121 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 3: give us the best chance to win. But you talk 1122 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,720 Speaker 3: about being somebody that was worried about himself and his brand. 1123 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 3: He continued to play with a soora elbow, couldn't even 1124 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 3: throw the ball down the field at all. 1125 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 2: And justive game streak that will never be broken in season. Yeah, 1126 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 2: that is unbelievable. So let me ask you this. I 1127 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 2: don't want to age you, obviously, but it we're like 1128 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 2: a generation. There's a different generation than the generation you 1129 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 2: And that's the way it is in the NFL. This 1130 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,279 Speaker 2: idea of being sort of separated from a team. I mean, 1131 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,320 Speaker 2: if Aaron Rodgers, I don't know if he's going to 1132 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 2: do this. You insist knowing Aaron, he's going to be 1133 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 2: one of the guys. But if he's not, if he 1134 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 2: wants to sort of separate himselves, does it fly more now, 1135 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 2: do you think than it would ten to fifteen years ago? 1136 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 2: Has an attitude change in locker rooms at all. 1137 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 3: I think it has, but I don't think that I 1138 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 3: don't think that constitutes the winning though. I still think 1139 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 3: the locker room has to be sacred, and I think 1140 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 3: the locker room has to be dysfunctioning device, this dysfunctioning 1141 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 3: mechanism that lives on its own because at the end 1142 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 3: of the day, it's so many personalities, and I think 1143 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 3: people are giving, you know, giving credence to that. 1144 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: Now. 1145 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 3: They want people to be individuals, and they want people 1146 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 3: to stand out and have their own platforms, have their podcast, 1147 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 3: do all their things they're doing. 1148 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 2: Even during the season. He's like a Draymond Green. He'll 1149 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 2: play a game and talk about his teammates and coaches 1150 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 2: like it's not even part of him, right, Like, just 1151 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,360 Speaker 2: you know, it's crazy to think about we wouldn't do that. 1152 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 2: We couldn't do that. 1153 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 3: So I think it's being allowed and celebrated, But at 1154 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 3: the end of the day, I think the functioning mechanism 1155 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 3: of a locker room has to still be intact. 1156 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,040 Speaker 2: Does a quarterback have to be the leader of a team? 1157 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question for them to ultimately win 1158 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 3: it all. I believe so, and I think I can 1159 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 3: take my team in two thousand and nine with the Jets, 1160 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 3: we made it to the AFC Championship Game. We had 1161 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,360 Speaker 3: a rookie at quarterback. He was not our leader. We 1162 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 3: had leaders on that team that got us to that 1163 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,880 Speaker 3: point and we're really good. And I think you can 1164 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 3: have success that way. But if your quarterback's not the 1165 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 3: leader at the end of the day, I think it 1166 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 3: doesn't get you over the hump. 1167 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's some rare exceptions obviously. I mean my 1168 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 2: old timer was Trent Dilfer. Go there literally got released 1169 00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 2: released by the team after winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, 1170 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 2: wins the Super Bowl. He got it done and got released. Yeah. 1171 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 2: They functioned well after that. All right, I'm going to 1172 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 2: start the conversation now about the most untradeable athlete in 1173 00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 2: recent memory. And I actually heard your former Arizona Cardinals 1174 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 2: teammate and my longtime partner Rich Ornberger say this first 1175 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 2: show heo Tani by the way, show, Hey, yesterday went 1176 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 2: out again. He's having finger problems pitching wise, and by 1177 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,080 Speaker 2: the way, after being four and oh with the one 1178 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 2: to eighty five era in April, since then, he's three 1179 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 2: and five with an era pushing five. Of course, his 1180 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 2: bat has been unreal. The month of June was ridiculous. 1181 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 2: That being said, the reason that and we're hearing especially 1182 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 2: like yesterday after he pitched and came out of the game. 1183 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 2: You know teams are going after show Heo Tani. Let's 1184 00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 2: be real about this. First of all, show Hao Tani 1185 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 2: has made it infinitely clear that the next team he 1186 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 2: plays for is going to be a West Coast team, 1187 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 2: and he wants a West Coast team that's not going 1188 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 2: to be hyped up on a lot of publicity. So 1189 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,440 Speaker 2: let's scratch the Dodgers. Shoe Heo Tani will not be 1190 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 2: a Dodger, So he's either going to remain with the 1191 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 2: Angels or he's going to be a Mariner, a Giant, 1192 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 2: or a Padre. So let's just remember that now if 1193 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,920 Speaker 2: you're the Angels, since we've never had a player like 1194 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 2: Sho Heo Tani, and forget the Babe Ruth stuff, Okay, 1195 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 2: that's not the same. There has never been, nor do 1196 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 2: I believe there ever will be the talent that we're 1197 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 2: seeing in show Heo Tani. So there's no guide of Okay, 1198 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 2: what do you want in return for Shoeo Tani? So 1199 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 2: if I'm the Angels again, even though he is a 1200 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 2: walk away free agent, and you could say we may 1201 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 2: not sign him, that doesn't matter to me. If I'm 1202 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,919 Speaker 2: contacting a team or they're contacting me. Here's where I'm 1203 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 2: starting with, show Heyotani, I want your five top minor 1204 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 2: league prospects, and three of them, at least three have 1205 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 2: to be pitchers. That's where we're starting. I need three 1206 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 2: to four proven everyday players because I'm giving you an 1207 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,959 Speaker 2: ace pitcher and one of the best hitters in the league. 1208 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 2: So let's say a team makes that deal. If your 1209 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 2: show heyo Tani, You're like, why would I stay with 1210 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 2: a team that literally gutted their future to get me. 1211 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 2: The only reason I would leave the Angels is to 1212 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 2: go to a situation where I think I have a 1213 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,640 Speaker 2: better chance long term to win a championship. I want 1214 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 2: to win championships. You gutted your team in order to 1215 01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 2: get me, Thanks for doing so, but I'm turning elsewhere. 1216 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 2: In other words, he really is unte tradable because the 1217 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 2: Angels could never get the equal and return in a deal. 1218 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 2: But most likely if a team came up with the 1219 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 2: hefty sum to get him, they would literally be mortgaging 1220 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 2: their future in order to make the trade make it 1221 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 2: even less likely that he would sign with that team 1222 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 2: long term. I agree. 1223 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 3: I think I think your point is very valid. I mean, 1224 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 3: watching him play is just it's ridiculous. It's one of 1225 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 3: those things where you know that kid's been good at 1226 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 3: everything he's ever done in his life, like everything, and 1227 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 3: he makes it look so effortless. We've never I agree 1228 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 3: with you on the point, we've never seen anybody like 1229 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 3: him either, And I don't you got to pay him 1230 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 3: whatever he wants, Okay, So if you're the Angel, yes see. 1231 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,160 Speaker 2: If Arty Marina, you remember he's going to sell the 1232 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 2: team and then all of a sudden he backed out 1233 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 2: of it. If I'm already Marina, I simply tell show, hey, 1234 01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 2: whatever offer you get, I'll top it, right. I don't 1235 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 2: care what the number is. It could be a seven 1236 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,920 Speaker 2: hundred million dollar deal, an eight hundred million dollar I 1237 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 2: don't care what number is thrown out at you. I 1238 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 2: guarantee you we will top that number if you stay 1239 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 2: an angel. Do you think it's about the money for 1240 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 2: so Hey, I don't. I don't think so. 1241 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 3: I think if he makes it to a free agency, 1242 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 3: I think he's gonna go to the place where he 1243 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 3: wants to go, And all. 1244 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 2: Right, we'll hold it right there because I because I 1245 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 2: just gave you the three most likely teams that he's 1246 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 2: gonna end up on if he doesn't stay with the Angels. 1247 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 2: But first, let's find out what is a trending right now? 1248 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 2: Hy nick uh? Do you believe that shoe heey O'tani's 1249 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 2: gonna be traded in the next two weeks. 1250 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 6: I don't think he's gonna it's gonna be too difficult. 1251 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 6: You got a bunch of teams that are gonna pine 1252 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 6: for him in the offseason. 1253 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think it makes sense to trade 1254 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 2: for him. Well, I mean if you're an East Coast team, 1255 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 2: because he's made it clear he wants to stay on 1256 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 2: the West coast. Yeah, you know, if you're the Yankees 1257 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 2: or the Red Sox or you know, it's your. 1258 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 6: Only chance, I suppose is to try and trade them 1259 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 6: and lure them in. Then I guess to a long 1260 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 6: term deal. 1261 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 2: But how do you even begin to try to figure 1262 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 2: out a package? 1263 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,479 Speaker 6: You just you make an offer and the Angels go nope. 1264 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 6: More you just keep going back and forth. I get, 1265 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 6: But yeah, I have no idea. 1266 01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 2: It seemquivalent of getting two players. Yep, you're getting one 1267 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 2: of the top pitchers in baseball and one of the 1268 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,400 Speaker 2: top hitters in baseball. So you're really getting a two 1269 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 2: fur which means you gotta double up on the package 1270 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 2: that you're offer. Come on, give us something. I'm not 1271 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 2: a baseball GM. 1272 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 6: I do find it funny though, just living in La 1273 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,919 Speaker 6: Dodger fans are so confident he's going to be wearing 1274 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 6: a Dodger uniform. 1275 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,400 Speaker 2: If not later. To what he's saying, the idea of 1276 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 2: just the spotlight of being a Dodger doesn't seem to 1277 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 2: be where he's at. Come on, come on home to 1278 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 2: San Francisco show. Hey, it's mister Bay Area. Yes, how 1279 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,680 Speaker 2: are you looking at Giants' uniform? To you?

He's mccubby cob looking for him. Oh, 1282 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 6: I mean he's you know. They just topped one hundred 1283 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 6: splash hits. It took a long time because Bonds hasn't 1284 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 6: played for a while, but that number is gonna I 1285 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 6: think's gonna serve Homer. 1286 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 2: He hits goes four to forty. It seems it's like, yeah, hey, 1287 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 2: he's gonna get a lot of art. 1288 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,680 Speaker 6: You're gonna you're gonna see the Kayaks out in McCovey 1289 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 6: Cove like they were twenty years ago.

Oh boy? Too many? Zero? 1322 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, knock zero yeah yeah zero. I came close. 1323 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,720 Speaker 2: I'm I mean, like literally less than an inch away, 1324 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,920 Speaker 2: like one more role so close, oh so close. 1325 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:09,040 Speaker 7: All right. 1326 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from the Tirech dot Com studios 1327 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,440 Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Saturday. So I want to get 1328 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 2: back to your comment about money isn't everything? Perhaps for 1329 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 2: show hey o Tani. So we have two great examples 1330 01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 2: of two of the most dominant athletes in their sport 1331 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,560 Speaker 2: ever never being the highest paid player in their sport, 1332 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 2: and that would be Tom Brady and that would be 1333 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 2: Lebron James. I mean, when Lebron left Cleveland the first 1334 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 2: time to go to Miami, he had the equal pay 1335 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 2: of Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. They made the exact 1336 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 2: same salary. At no point has he ever been the 1337 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 2: highest paid player. I also remember a conversation I had 1338 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 2: with Kobe Bryant when he signed his last deal, which 1339 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 2: temporarily made him the highest paid player I think was 1340 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 2: twenty five million at the time, after he blew his 1341 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 2: achilles and I asked him, I said, would you ever 1342 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 2: take less money to free up money because you have 1343 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 2: a cap situation to get other talent? And his response 1344 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 2: was very straightforward, he goes, that's not my problem. And 1345 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 2: some ways, if you think about Tom Brady, and I 1346 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 2: think you would acknowledge he's the goat based on his resume. 1347 01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 2: It almost does a disservice for everyone else. In other words, 1348 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 2: if you're the best at what you do and you 1349 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 2: don't take top dollar, there's a trickle down effect. Yes, 1350 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 2: so it will affect everybody. So if he's going to 1351 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 2: take less money as we keep going down, that means 1352 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to get less money. But these are rare 1353 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 2: exceptions men that are driven not necessarily by dollars and cents, 1354 01:08:54,800 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 2: but just that competitive I got to win a spirit 1355 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 2: and I don't know where it is. Baseball to me 1356 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 2: seems different than other sports in that way. But you 1357 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,959 Speaker 2: get a sense from your observations, So show hey Otani 1358 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 2: that maybe it's just not going to be whoever throws 1359 01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 2: the most money on the table. I do. I get that. 1360 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 3: I get that from him. I just from the the 1361 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 3: comments you made prior. You know, he says he's want 1362 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,280 Speaker 3: he wants to get away from teams that has that 1363 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 3: spotlight on them, right, So just from those comments alone, 1364 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,000 Speaker 3: but also just seeing him. He's like a little kid 1365 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,600 Speaker 3: out there. He's such a joyous player to watch, not 1366 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,400 Speaker 3: even just the stuff that he does on the field, 1367 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 3: just he has this glow about him that really exudes. 1368 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 3: He's doing this because he loves a game. I never 1369 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 3: get the sense that he's out there trying to do anything. 1370 01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 3: He's in the moment, which is the best thing to be. 1371 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 3: He's in the moment of playing professional baseball, living out 1372 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,839 Speaker 3: his dream, doing it at doing it's at any elite level, obviously, 1373 01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 3: but it's just this a sense of calm, and I 1374 01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:04,680 Speaker 3: think the money situation won't be the thing that moves him. 1375 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 2: You played in the biggest market in New York. Yep. 1376 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 2: He also played in a smaller market. I surely did. Yeah, 1377 01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure that was quite an adjustment going from the 1378 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,640 Speaker 2: Jets of the Cardinals. Not everybody's cut out for the 1379 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 2: big markets. It doesn't mean they're any lesser of a player. 1380 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 2: Look at Mike trout Right, I mean he's very comfortable 1381 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 2: staying in an Angels uniform. He's never won a playoff game. 1382 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:30,760 Speaker 2: He'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer, one of 1383 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 2: the all time greats. Unfortunately he's had a lot of 1384 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 2: injuries in recent years. He could have gotten more money. 1385 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,160 Speaker 2: I knew Tony Gwynn, the late great Tony Gwinn in 1386 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:43,439 Speaker 2: San Diego, had so many opportunities. Teams would have killed 1387 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 2: for an eight time batting champion. No, I'm good, yeah, 1388 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 2: you know, And this is why I thought Damian Luller 1389 01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,920 Speaker 2: was the same way. You know, I don't need to 1390 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,400 Speaker 2: play for the Lakers. I don't need to play for 1391 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 2: you know, I'm good in Portland rights. I was a 1392 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 2: little shocked by those. And again, I don't know how 1393 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 2: hell bent he is really now to go elsewhere. 1394 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 3: How much do you put on us and people in 1395 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,719 Speaker 3: the media, you know, changing the narrative for him, because 1396 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 3: all we talk about now is winning, winning championships, and 1397 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 3: how much that matters. How much do you think that's 1398 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:17,439 Speaker 3: changed him? 1399 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 2: Do you look differently at players that are able to 1400 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:27,400 Speaker 2: excel under the brightest spotlights of big cities. Are they 1401 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 2: viewed differently than equal stars in smaller markets? Yeah, yeah, 1402 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 2: for sure. I mean planning in New York market. 1403 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,080 Speaker 3: We got Aaron Rodgers now going from Green Bay to 1404 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 3: New York and automatically he's out there more, right, you 1405 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,600 Speaker 3: see his face more everywhere. That's just part of the 1406 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,680 Speaker 3: lure of being in those cities, right, you get this 1407 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 3: access to things that obviously he gets access to everything. 1408 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 3: But when you're an athlete that moves to New York 1409 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,600 Speaker 3: and get that spotlight on you. There, the people that 1410 01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 3: are surrounding you, the things that are given to you, 1411 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 3: and those positions are just they're different. You can't really 1412 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 3: compute them by being in smaller markets. 1413 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 2: How much how much of a star was Joe name 1414 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 2: us still when you were with the Jets, when I. 1415 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,519 Speaker 3: Was with the Jets, I mean, it was still about Joe. 1416 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:16,960 Speaker 3: He's the one that brought brought me later, it doesn't matter. Well, 1417 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 3: that's that's all we have. Exactly, he's the guy. Well 1418 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 3: when he because I know he would visit, right, he 1419 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 3: would come around. 1420 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean is there's still that aura? Yeah, yes, 1421 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 2: even for us. I mean we look at Joe. I 1422 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 2: mean we know Joe. 1423 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,680 Speaker 3: I mean Joe went to Alabama obviously in the time 1424 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 3: in Alabama native as well, So even my time. 1425 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 2: Did you ever share some acting for stuff? 1426 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 4: I did not. 1427 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen Joe's acting any of his acts? 1428 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 2: I have not seen any of his acting stuff. Was 1429 01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 2: it bad? 1430 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 7: Well? 1431 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, he did. He did a movie. It 1432 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 2: was like a motorcycle movie. Do you remember this Iowa, Sam. 1433 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,800 Speaker 2: It was a movie he did with Anne Margaret. It 1434 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 2: was like he was a biker or something like this, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1435 01:12:58,520 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 2: good hair. I don't thank you. I don't think of 1436 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 2: pretty good. I can tell something like that. 1437 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: All right. 1438 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, we got a few 1439 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,400 Speaker 2: other things I got to get to over the course 1440 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:13,360 Speaker 2: of the day, including another NBA story that well, you'll 1441 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 2: figure it out.

So he 1459 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 2: he's a movie guy like my younger son is the 1460 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,960 Speaker 2: sports guy. Like dad. My dad worked in the movie industry. 1461 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,960 Speaker 2: My dad was a sound effects editor at twenty Century 1462 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 2: Fox Studios for thirty two years. I grew up on 1463 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,680 Speaker 2: that lot. But anyway, Yeah, how's this going right now? 1464 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 2: Is first you have the writer's strike the writer. Now 1465 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 2: you got the actors stro well, now you've got the 1466 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 2: actual the Are we going to see any movies coming 1467 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 2: up anytime soon? Yes, because they already had a few 1468 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,360 Speaker 2: in the chamber. Yeah, well, I know Oppenheimer's coming out 1469 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 2: coming out next week, and Mission Impossible is out. Everything 1470 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:49,360 Speaker 2: else is going to be shut down for it's going 1471 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 2: to be shut down for a while. 1472 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:54,280 Speaker 3: I think this whole conversation around AI and and you know, 1473 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 3: actually getting our residuals in the stuff that we need 1474 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 3: with the streaming services is just it's an impossible thing 1475 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:02,639 Speaker 3: to kind of knock into. 1476 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,559 Speaker 2: You can't. It's it's so hard to do. Bob Iiker 1477 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:10,640 Speaker 2: obviously has had a very successful career. Oh so he 1478 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 2: he he actually made a comment the other day that 1479 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,080 Speaker 2: if I were an actor or anybody in the industry, 1480 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 2: I like, really, he said, about the writers and the actors, 1481 01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 2: this is not a good time to go on strike. 1482 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 2: This is a guy who, in the last two years 1483 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 2: after coming out of retirement, has collected fifty four million dollars. Yep, 1484 01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 2: so he's collected fifty four and his salary I think 1485 01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,720 Speaker 2: is a million like that, that's his salary. But then 1486 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 2: it's all the you know. Yeah, So for him to 1487 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,760 Speaker 2: say this is not a good time to be complaining 1488 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 2: about how much money you're making. Boy, that sounds like 1489 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 2: someone that out of touch, really out of touch, out 1490 01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:56,599 Speaker 2: of touch. 1491 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,680 Speaker 3: There was a little bit more of that of that 1492 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:05,640 Speaker 3: statement as well, and he was saying, we're going to 1493 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 3: allow these actors and writers to lose their houses and 1494 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:13,879 Speaker 3: their jobs, Like this is something coming from the CEO 1495 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:15,479 Speaker 3: over at Disney. 1496 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 2: What does a CEO do? I don't know what he does. 1497 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. He just gets I think he does 1498 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 2: it up. What it thumbs down. That's pretty much it. 1499 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 2: That's it, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, not much. By the way, 1500 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,360 Speaker 2: the last seven Disney movies have lost about eight hundred 1501 01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 2: haven't been good, have not been good. A lot of 1502 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,599 Speaker 2: thumbs up, but he didn't get a contract extension. Oh yeah, 1503 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 2: I saw that. Yeah, I saw run Ron was very 1504 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 2: very scary with his address. He was like, whoever that 1505 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 2: guy is? Who said and it was that voice. It 1506 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,599 Speaker 2: was very scary. It was it was one of those things. 1507 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,599 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it's what is I mean? Seriously, 1508 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,640 Speaker 2: I mean been you know, in the NFL as a 1509 01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 2: professional athlete, and and now in the entertainment fields and 1510 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:06,760 Speaker 2: writer and everything else. What is a greater challenge? Oh? 1511 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 2: This one, the second act is just so hard. You 1512 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 2: can be talented, you can have all the things in 1513 01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 2: your favor you. I mean, we talk about athletes going 1514 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,679 Speaker 2: to get paid. I mean I just mentioned Bob Iger 1515 01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,800 Speaker 2: because he's been in the news, but he's no different 1516 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,599 Speaker 2: than an owner of a team, right, I mean, if 1517 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,880 Speaker 2: they're complaining about how much money they got to pay 1518 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 2: guys or this, that and everything else. And meanwhile, every 1519 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 2: every owner in this league, just by the nature of 1520 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,840 Speaker 2: owning a team is a billionaire. Yeah. 1521 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess there's some similarities there, Yes, but I 1522 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 3: think even in the in the league, in sports, right, 1523 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 3: you have these you have the SAG afters. You have 1524 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,560 Speaker 3: the groups that are coming to the table trying to 1525 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,640 Speaker 3: get improvements for the players and you know, to make 1526 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,559 Speaker 3: the wages a little bit more fatter for for all involved. 1527 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 3: And we've seen that work in the NFL. We've seen 1528 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,560 Speaker 3: that work in acting at one point as well. But 1529 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,639 Speaker 3: now with gotten to this point where the streaming services 1530 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 3: are are the big issue because you can't count that revenue. 1531 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 3: So the shows that we were making in the past 1532 01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 3: on TV getting those residual checks every time it was 1533 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:17,320 Speaker 3: being shown, or you know, profiting the CEOs and Disney, 1534 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,240 Speaker 3: we were getting profits as well. Now now with this 1535 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 3: streaming thing, you can't correlate it. So we got to 1536 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 3: figure this out. And and for him to say that it. 1537 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,360 Speaker 2: Was just very they were just so out of touch 1538 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,680 Speaker 2: and so privileged. Well, I know, I know why he 1539 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 2: said it. In other words, you know, you guys shut down. 1540 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:42,519 Speaker 2: Everyone's affected by this except except you. You're still gonna 1541 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,639 Speaker 2: make your money. He's gonna and so that's that's why 1542 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,840 Speaker 2: it was a little I don't know, it's very frustrating. Hey, quickly, 1543 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,920 Speaker 2: I wanted to follow up on Damian Lila for a second. Yeah, 1544 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 2: because you mentioned James Harden as well a little bit earlier. 1545 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,760 Speaker 2: Who you know, he keeps demanding trades and he keeps 1546 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 2: getting traded, and every team he goes to it's about 1547 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,479 Speaker 2: the same. It's no reflection on his talent. Obviously has talent. 1548 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,479 Speaker 2: But if you're the Los Angeles Clippers, because they've been 1549 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 2: linked in possible trade talks with both Damian Lillard and 1550 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 2: James Harden, just from a basketball standpoint, with Paul George 1551 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,400 Speaker 2: and Kawhi Leonard, who do you think would be a 1552 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 2: better fit for that team? I think it's Damian Lillard. Yeah. 1553 01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 3: I think with Paul George and Kawhi's history of being injured, 1554 01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,680 Speaker 3: if one of those guys were to go down a 1555 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:32,920 Speaker 3: little bit, Damian Lillard can carry that torch and be 1556 01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 3: the league guy. James Harden right now, I just don't 1557 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,759 Speaker 3: think he can be that league guy anymore. So adding 1558 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 3: him to that mix with those two being injured, he'll 1559 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,599 Speaker 3: be fine. He'll keep the team moving, but he doesn't 1560 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:44,160 Speaker 3: move the needle. 1561 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 2: All right. So let's say the choir Damian Lillard eighty 1562 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 2: two game regular season. How many games are the eighty two? 1563 01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,680 Speaker 2: Do you think all three of those guys will be 1564 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 2: on the court together forty seven. That might be an exaggeration. 1565 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 2: That might be an exaggeration. Are you a fan by 1566 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,800 Speaker 2: the way of the season tournament? No? Okay, I want 1567 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 2: to get into that coming up because this is this 1568 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 2: is one of the most far fetched desperation ideas, and 1569 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,680 Speaker 2: I mean desperation that I've ever heard. Why Because the 1570 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,760 Speaker 2: NBA recognizes the NFL rules the world. 1571 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 4: We'll roll on. 1572 01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:17,560 Speaker 2: We got much more coming up.

I watch all the 1591 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 2: old movies. One of my favorite movies of all time. 1592 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 2: We were talking about Horror off off the air a 1593 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,479 Speaker 2: little bit, but the Bad Seed. Do you remember the 1594 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:26,160 Speaker 2: Bad with the little Girl? Yes, the little girl like 1595 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 2: at the end of that movie is unbelievable. It's so good. 1596 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:31,799 Speaker 2: In the end of the Classic, I got the actual 1597 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,920 Speaker 2: reimagine of that with color. I got in the color 1598 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 2: as well, so I got that imagine. The actress Patty 1599 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,680 Speaker 2: McCormick who played the little girl, she's still alive. She 1600 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 2: was I think eleven years old. If you had a child, 1601 01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 2: like we were talking about The Exorcist, my father actually 1602 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:50,479 Speaker 2: worked on that. And you know, Linda Blair a role 1603 01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:54,600 Speaker 2: like that for a child, I don't know, I know, 1604 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 2: I mean, and Patty was so good at it, really good. 1605 01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:00,840 Speaker 2: It was very little. I'm native on an Oscar for 1606 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 2: she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. So it was 1607 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 2: Linda Blair for the Exers exactly. It's a child. I 1608 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,600 Speaker 2: mean it's like it's weird. I don't know, it just 1609 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 2: it seems strange to me. The whole child actor situation. 1610 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 2: Child acting is really difficult. 1611 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 3: You get put into these unbelievable situations where you can 1612 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,040 Speaker 3: thrive and you can have success and and really do 1613 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 3: the craft in the art, which you know it's part 1614 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 3: while they're there, But then you get down these avenues 1615 01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 3: of losing touch with reality, especially at that age when you're. 1616 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,800 Speaker 2: Now there's nothing real, nothing in a movie or a 1617 01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,280 Speaker 2: TV show, nothing real about it. And when I was 1618 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,679 Speaker 2: when I was a kid, a lot of the members 1619 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 2: of the Brady Bunch and Partridge family were in my schools. 1620 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 2: I mean, Danny Bonaducci lived literally up the street from 1621 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 2: me I lived. I lived over by the Brady Bunch 1622 01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,640 Speaker 2: house for a little Marie McCormick, Marsha Brady, she was 1623 01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 2: two years ahead of me when I went to junior 1624 01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 2: high school there she was imagine, I think she was 1625 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,000 Speaker 2: ninth grade, like fourteen years old, and I'm twelve years old. 1626 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,160 Speaker 2: You know, you know what a twelve year old boy 1627 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 2: to see Marshall Brady, you were pretty exciting. My head 1628 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,559 Speaker 2: was spinning, like she is the most beautiful fourteen year 1629 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:15,719 Speaker 2: old I've ever seen in my life. 1630 01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 4: No, it is. 1631 01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,680 Speaker 2: People have to understand this. Like my dad worked in 1632 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 2: the movie industry, and I have a son that's working 1633 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 2: in the movie industry, and I have another son that's 1634 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,800 Speaker 2: in the sports. It's all entertainment. How much How much 1635 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 2: of that were you aware because obviously you had the 1636 01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 2: entertainment gene. You mentioned the fact earlier that you were 1637 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,680 Speaker 2: already writing your own one person place when you were 1638 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:45,720 Speaker 2: like in junior high school. Exactly how where were you 1639 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 2: that as an athlete that part of your job is 1640 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:54,080 Speaker 2: entertainer because we hear that. I remember the great stories 1641 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 2: about Pete Merrivitch. You know, he never he that was 1642 01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,560 Speaker 2: his style of play. I am here to inner retain you. 1643 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 2: It may not be the best thing for my team, 1644 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 2: but you're paying money to see me do my thing, 1645 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:10,200 Speaker 2: and I'm doing my thing. Oh that's that's interesting. I 1646 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 2: think as you master your craft, you can do that. Yeah, 1647 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 2: some people innately have that, like you just said, Pete 1648 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 2: probably will. Deon Sanders, let's go back to d yes 1649 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,040 Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, one hundred percent entertainer, but really good 1650 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,680 Speaker 2: at this craft. Yes, So that's the point, right, it 1651 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:25,639 Speaker 2: is it with anything. 1652 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 3: The time you put in your craft and get better 1653 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 3: at it, then you can have that those other things 1654 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,479 Speaker 3: pop off and be you know the side, the side thing, 1655 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:34,759 Speaker 3: the side attraction. 1656 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:36,960 Speaker 2: But if you're not good at it, you're not entertaining. 1657 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:40,720 Speaker 2: Well look, you're you're a defensive back, right and you're 1658 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 2: going against the divas of the NFL wide receivers divas too. Yeah. Well, okay, 1659 01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 2: well I'll say that I just mentioned Dion Sanders. I 1660 01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:51,400 Speaker 2: mean there's been a few of them out there, but 1661 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 2: wide receivers are notorious for sure. Okay. Is that did 1662 01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:00,120 Speaker 2: that add to the challenge for you? I mean, do 1663 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,519 Speaker 2: you want to shut these guys up? I mean, how 1664 01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:06,600 Speaker 2: does that play if you've got a Chadow Chosenko or 1665 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 2: you got you know, one of the TEO or someone 1666 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,639 Speaker 2: like that that wants all the attention on themselves. Oh yeah, 1667 01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 2: that's motivation throughout the week. 1668 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 3: I mean, especially a guy like Chad So I've played 1669 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,600 Speaker 3: chatting quite a bit during the week. He would do 1670 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,680 Speaker 3: silly stuff as far as he would poke the bear 1671 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 3: so to speak. Obviously, send letters, He'll say little things 1672 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 3: in the media about each DB's playing that week, and 1673 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 3: so like he was always ribbing at us, and I 1674 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 3: remember we played them in nine. If they would have 1675 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 3: beat us, they had a decision to make it rather 1676 01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,600 Speaker 3: sit their players or play to win that game, they 1677 01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:47,320 Speaker 3: were already locked up their playoff seed. They decided to 1678 01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,200 Speaker 3: play their players in like the first quarter and just 1679 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 3: kind of yeah, you know, fan out and then just 1680 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,640 Speaker 3: let the game go how it goes. But before he 1681 01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:57,759 Speaker 3: went out, I remember him talking that week about Rebus, 1682 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,920 Speaker 3: so I made it a conscious to give him a 1683 01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,280 Speaker 3: nice little shot. He ran like a little, nice little 1684 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,519 Speaker 3: dig route in front of Rebas. I came down, smacked 1685 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,719 Speaker 3: him really hard and just start talking and start talking 1686 01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:10,760 Speaker 3: mess to him, which is fun. 1687 01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 2: I mean, he's my guy. It's fun. 1688 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 3: But they didn't beat us, and we beat them, and 1689 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,840 Speaker 3: we had to play that next week the following week 1690 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 3: up in Cincinnati, first round the playoffs, and so you know, 1691 01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 3: they had a chance to shut us up and beat 1692 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:26,880 Speaker 3: us that next week, but we came back and beat 1693 01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:28,640 Speaker 3: him again the next week and sent them home. So 1694 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,519 Speaker 3: if you play around with your food, there's trouble out there. 1695 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,280 Speaker 3: It's kind of what we thought and when we saw it. 1696 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 2: You guys beat the Chargers and we beat the Charger 1697 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:44,799 Speaker 2: staff following a week na one of the best kickers 1698 01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,640 Speaker 2: in the league. He could not make kicks in the playoffs. 1699 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,760 Speaker 2: I mean that he missed, like he missed three three. Yeah, 1700 01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,800 Speaker 2: he missed three three and we won by three. Yeah. 1701 01:26:56,400 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 2: Mark Sanchez is someone that I actually he was introduced 1702 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 2: to by his mother. We were in Indianapolis. No, we 1703 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,759 Speaker 2: were in Miami for the Super Bowl between the Colts 1704 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:13,760 Speaker 2: and the Bears. So that was the six season and 1705 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:19,040 Speaker 2: this woman walks up with her son in tow he 1706 01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,560 Speaker 2: was I think he was a red shirt freshman that 1707 01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,800 Speaker 2: year at USC and uh and I love Mark. I 1708 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,719 Speaker 2: just absolutely love this guy. And we've we've laughed about 1709 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,639 Speaker 2: this story many times because she's like, this is myself. 1710 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 2: I knew who he was obviously, obviously had heard of 1711 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 2: Mark Sanchez and everything. What was your view of Sanchez? 1712 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,280 Speaker 2: Mark was my guy. It means a young guy obviously. 1713 01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 2: I mean he goes to the AFC Championship game his 1714 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:40,960 Speaker 2: first two in this first year, I mean he was 1715 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:42,679 Speaker 2: four road playoff wins. 1716 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 3: Yes, he did not lose. And that's the crazy part 1717 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 3: in the in the beginning of his career, he did 1718 01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,759 Speaker 3: not lose games. He didn't he didn't make the mistakes, 1719 01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:54,720 Speaker 3: and I think as he as his role grew and 1720 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,639 Speaker 3: more was expected from him, I think the outside noise, 1721 01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,639 Speaker 3: in the outside pressure of not putting up the gaudy 1722 01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:01,240 Speaker 3: number start to get to him a little bit. 1723 01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 2: I thought that his development because he only had one 1724 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,759 Speaker 2: year as a starter at USC And remember Pete Carroll 1725 01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,759 Speaker 2: was angry when he dopped it out. Yeah. I mean usually, 1726 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,080 Speaker 2: you know, you have like a press conference to announce 1727 01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:17,679 Speaker 2: that our quarterback has decided to enter early, and here's 1728 01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:23,760 Speaker 2: your coach bad mouthing you. It's like, thanks coach. You know, 1729 01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,960 Speaker 2: he's fifth overall picking the draft. Obviously he made he 1730 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 2: made the right position, absolutely made the right decision, right, 1731 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:32,880 Speaker 2: I don't know, it just it just you know, it's 1732 01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:36,479 Speaker 2: like they're like Mark Chance, Mark Sanchez, but fumble I 1733 01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 2: remember that. I'm like, have you forgotten this guy was 1734 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,639 Speaker 2: foreign on Brooke playoff wins in his first two years 1735 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 2: in the NFL. No, it's all, no one's ever done that. 1736 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 2: It's all. It's all. 1737 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 3: It's all the bad stuff that people want to look 1738 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,560 Speaker 3: at all the time. But for him, Mark came in 1739 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 3: I mean obviously with you know, great expectations, expectations. Right, 1740 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,840 Speaker 3: he would be at my house studying, he would come 1741 01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 3: overhang out. I've known the guy since he's a kid, 1742 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 3: and now he just got married recently and now he's 1743 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,760 Speaker 3: doing well with that and doing well and in the 1744 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:05,599 Speaker 3: broadcasting world. 1745 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 2: So I'm happy for him. Man. Yeah, I love Mark. 1746 01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,920 Speaker 2: So let me ask you this about Jets fans and 1747 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:16,160 Speaker 2: their approach to Aaron Rodgers. Because Aaron Rodgers, obviously, when 1748 01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,559 Speaker 2: given a forum, will speak his mind. He's not afraid 1749 01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:23,800 Speaker 2: of anything that comes out of his mouth. Apparently, how 1750 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:25,200 Speaker 2: much slack do you think he's going to get in 1751 01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 2: New York? I mean this, I mean if they start 1752 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,920 Speaker 2: one in three and the Bills are sitting at four 1753 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,840 Speaker 2: and o, and the and the Dolphins are at three 1754 01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:38,559 Speaker 2: and one, maybe even the Patriots are two and two. 1755 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,000 Speaker 2: It's a seventeen game season, but a one in three 1756 01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:45,760 Speaker 2: Jets team at the bottom of the AFC East standings, 1757 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:50,320 Speaker 2: will people say be patient or is he going to 1758 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,960 Speaker 2: feel the full raft? You're putting them in the cellar? Okay? 1759 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 2: I see No, I mean early in the year. It's 1760 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:58,000 Speaker 2: four games, so the Bills are four and oh, Dolphins 1761 01:29:58,040 --> 01:29:59,960 Speaker 2: are three and one, Pats are two and two jets 1762 01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:02,760 Speaker 2: one in three. Oh, it's going to be all Hill's 1763 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,719 Speaker 2: going to break loose, All Hell's gonna be all Hill's 1764 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,439 Speaker 2: going to break. Can you prepare him for what it 1765 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,720 Speaker 2: means when you all hell breaks least? Can't prepare him 1766 01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:12,360 Speaker 2: for anything for that? That's that's a whole different story. 1767 01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 2: It's one of those things that I have been subjected 1768 01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 2: to in the past as well. I mean, it's one 1769 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 2: of those places where when you're at the top of 1770 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:26,160 Speaker 2: your level, Oh, the praise is undeniable as well, But 1771 01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:30,120 Speaker 2: when you have a when you fall, are you stumble? Oh? 1772 01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 2: The disdain is right there on the same level. Can 1773 01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,560 Speaker 2: I ask you this because he's obviously going to be 1774 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:36,960 Speaker 2: inducted this summer into the Pro Football Hall of Fame 1775 01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:40,400 Speaker 2: or teammateate, Oh, Harel Revis uh an obvious first ballot 1776 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,960 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer? Ye ay, how good was he? Because 1777 01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 2: I have a hard time it's easy when I'm looking 1778 01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,880 Speaker 2: at someone throw football or catch a pass or run 1779 01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:53,000 Speaker 2: with a football, just sort of decipher who's better from 1780 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,080 Speaker 2: a defensive standpoint, defense back and when when I work 1781 01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 2: for the Raiders, we had Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes. Yes, too, 1782 01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:03,680 Speaker 2: unbelievable time grades. So how good was Durel Reeves And 1783 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 2: how difficult was it to have to be in the 1784 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,240 Speaker 2: same secondary as a guy like Reevis. 1785 01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 3: I wasn't difficult at all. He was one of those guys. 1786 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 3: Number one, the best cover corner that I've played with 1787 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 3: for sure. 1788 01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 2: What makes that? I mean, I'm curious about because I 1789 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,759 Speaker 2: think people you talk about a Dione Sanders, great swer Corners, 1790 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,639 Speaker 2: how does someone separate themselves from the pack? 1791 01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,000 Speaker 3: It's you can do it differently the way he did 1792 01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,600 Speaker 3: it though, such a student of the game. Yeah, one 1793 01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 3: hundred percent. I know that for a fact because he 1794 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 3: was right there with me studying. Sure, he came to 1795 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:41,560 Speaker 3: me to help him to learn how to study on 1796 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 3: that level. So number one put the work in. But 1797 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:48,400 Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage, being able to get his 1798 01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:51,680 Speaker 3: hands on receivers and being patient at the line and 1799 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,280 Speaker 3: not giving them any leeway. He was the best I've 1800 01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:54,720 Speaker 3: ever seen. 1801 01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:55,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1802 01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:02,759 Speaker 3: Obviously technique study, but he just had a gift also, 1803 01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 3: And so like when you met we talked about earlier, 1804 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 3: you maximizing that gift, that God given talent that's there. 1805 01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:11,040 Speaker 3: He maximized it to the fullest. Yeah, and I mean 1806 01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,600 Speaker 3: that's really what made him who he was. And I 1807 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 3: remember his rookie year, he was holding out a little 1808 01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,920 Speaker 3: bit to get his contract done. And so you have 1809 01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:21,519 Speaker 3: these like, oh this guy thinks he said, or whatever, 1810 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:24,680 Speaker 3: you have those initial fields. Yeah, he came in and 1811 01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 3: he got rid of that label quick. I see why 1812 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 3: he held on a little bit more. 1813 01:32:33,240 --> 01:32:35,519 Speaker 2: Maybe you should have held out even longer, a little bit, 1814 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,519 Speaker 2: but really good, I mean the best life. So was 1815 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:41,880 Speaker 2: it challenging for you because obviously there's comparisons on your 1816 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:44,160 Speaker 2: own team. No, for sure, No, I was. I was 1817 01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:44,639 Speaker 2: coming off. 1818 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,679 Speaker 3: I was the rookie of the first team rookie, Yeah, 1819 01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:51,760 Speaker 3: second team all I mean second season all Pro. So 1820 01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:53,240 Speaker 3: he came in the next year when I was all 1821 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 3: in R Pro, I had no there was no worries 1822 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,679 Speaker 3: of anybody coming in to take anything from me or anything. 1823 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:00,720 Speaker 3: He played a different position too, He's going to help me. 1824 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:02,439 Speaker 3: This is going to make my job better. And I 1825 01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,240 Speaker 3: think vice versa. We did that for each other when 1826 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:09,040 Speaker 3: we played. We made the game easier. Steve and I out, 1827 01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,120 Speaker 3: are you going to go to can for his induction? 1828 01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,400 Speaker 3: He invited me to come out and I'm trying to 1829 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,040 Speaker 3: be for an induction I have. I played in that game. 1830 01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,760 Speaker 3: So the funny story is the Jets play in that game. 1831 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,200 Speaker 3: The Jets played, No, the just didn't play. I played 1832 01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,880 Speaker 3: in that game in Arizona in twenty ten. Yeah, when 1833 01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:27,080 Speaker 3: when Curtis Martin went to the Hall of Fame. So 1834 01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:29,479 Speaker 3: I've had that experience with him. And you know, Curtis 1835 01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:31,479 Speaker 3: is one of my mentors when I when I was 1836 01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,240 Speaker 3: coming through, and now Rebus asked me to come out. 1837 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,080 Speaker 3: So I'm going to go out and support him as well. 1838 01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:37,920 Speaker 3: So it's just this will be number two. 1839 01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. I did it twice. I went with Howie's long 1840 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 2: but the big party was Marcus Arcus Allen's. We went 1841 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:46,640 Speaker 2: to a full party afterwards and everything else just the 1842 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,559 Speaker 2: same deal. Yeah. I remember Nick Lowry, the former Chiefs 1843 01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 2: kicker from back in the day, trying to pick up 1844 01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:55,160 Speaker 2: on my wife. I thought that was a little not appropriate. 1845 01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,000 Speaker 2: Oh man, if you're listening, Nick, I remember that. Nick. 1846 01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 2: He did not forget that, all right. Getting ready for 1847 01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,360 Speaker 2: the start of the NFL season, A lot of stories 1848 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,840 Speaker 2: coming up right now. We got the latest this it's 1849 01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,400 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday Steve Harbin and Carrie Rhodes with you 1850 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 2: here Fox Sports Saturday. We're coming you live from the 1851 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 2: tairaq dot com studios. Have you seen the new Netflix 1852 01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:24,360 Speaker 2: show Quarterback? I have? I have. I watched the first 1853 01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:28,880 Speaker 2: episode they're featuring. This is a Peyton Manning production and 1854 01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:33,880 Speaker 2: they're featuring Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota, which 1855 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:37,720 Speaker 2: is interesting because again, this is really takes you through 1856 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,240 Speaker 2: their entire season on the field, off the field a 1857 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:43,840 Speaker 2: year ago. Good choices, by the way, because they certainly 1858 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:50,320 Speaker 2: all started the year in very different positions. Would you 1859 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:55,640 Speaker 2: want them to show your whole private life? Are you 1860 01:34:55,840 --> 01:35:00,800 Speaker 2: surprised because they're showing stuff early on, Like there's there's 1861 01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,639 Speaker 2: stuff with Mahomes and his wife and I think she's 1862 01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:07,240 Speaker 2: expecting their second child and they're getting some pictures done 1863 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,120 Speaker 2: and he's like he wants no part of it. And 1864 01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:13,080 Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, No husband wants to take fit. 1865 01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:13,559 Speaker 1: None of us. 1866 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:15,920 Speaker 2: Do you know you go through the whole process. You 1867 01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 2: know you're going to get married, Let's go take No 1868 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:20,160 Speaker 2: guy wants to take pictures. 1869 01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,680 Speaker 3: Sorry, I know she had like seven different photo op 1870 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:27,040 Speaker 3: places and it's like Okay, can we be done please? 1871 01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,240 Speaker 2: And she's like, yeah, he didn't want fit and I'm like, no, 1872 01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:33,719 Speaker 2: guy does. All right, So do you do you enjoy 1873 01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:36,360 Speaker 2: watching shows like that or they pull back the curtain 1874 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:38,640 Speaker 2: and you sort of get a sneak peek of just 1875 01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:43,679 Speaker 2: the person as opposed to the player. I yes, there's 1876 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,320 Speaker 2: a sense of sense of that that I do love. 1877 01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 2: Would you ever want cameras to follow you through your 1878 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:49,559 Speaker 2: private life? 1879 01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:49,760 Speaker 7: No? 1880 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:51,280 Speaker 2: No, not for me. 1881 01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,439 Speaker 3: I wouldn't do the reality stuff. I've been asked to 1882 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:56,120 Speaker 3: do that a couple of times and passed, even when 1883 01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:58,240 Speaker 3: I was when I was married, they wanted to do 1884 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,680 Speaker 3: that as well because my me as an actress and 1885 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,280 Speaker 3: say exactly, yeah, but no, I did not want to 1886 01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:05,840 Speaker 3: do that and never. I mean the way they're doing this, 1887 01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 3: incorporating the games and you know, the terminology in the 1888 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 3: verbiage and all that stuff is kind of cool though. 1889 01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:12,560 Speaker 3: So yeah, I like saying this. 1890 01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:16,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, some of the on field stuff, I really like 1891 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 2: they were showing mahomes. So last year I was one 1892 01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,559 Speaker 2: of those that had doubts because my attitude about losing 1893 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,200 Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill is Okay, you got Kelsey and you got Hill. 1894 01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:30,400 Speaker 2: Pick your poison. If you're a defense trying to get 1895 01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 2: ready for the Chiefs, who are we going to try 1896 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,600 Speaker 2: to take out? And you take Tyreek Hill out of 1897 01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:40,120 Speaker 2: the mix. Nobody they got is even close to Tyreek Hill. 1898 01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,040 Speaker 2: So now I'm thinking, fine, we're gonna just shut down 1899 01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:46,400 Speaker 2: Kelsey and he just scores four touchdowns one game. But 1900 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:49,200 Speaker 2: the game against the Raiders. Remember they lose Week three 1901 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 2: to the Colts, yep, and now they're down seventeen to 1902 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:53,960 Speaker 2: nothing to the Raiders. And I was one of those 1903 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,560 Speaker 2: guys that I told you so he's not going to 1904 01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:00,639 Speaker 2: be the same guy. And Crosby gets in his face, 1905 01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,160 Speaker 2: gives them a little bumping everything else, and it gets 1906 01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 2: them hot, like to the point where Annie Reid's like, dude, 1907 01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:09,679 Speaker 2: you got to calm down. Calm down, Okay, calm down. 1908 01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:12,799 Speaker 2: I love watching that stuff because I think what people 1909 01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:18,680 Speaker 2: don't understand when you watch an NFL game. And I 1910 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,880 Speaker 2: will never forget this. So when I again, I go 1911 01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,880 Speaker 2: back to my Raider days. We go to Kansas City 1912 01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:28,080 Speaker 2: and it's Bo Jackson's return to Kansas City and now 1913 01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:31,400 Speaker 2: he's playing for the Royals at the time, and on 1914 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:35,320 Speaker 2: his second carry of the game, he gets hurt. But 1915 01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 2: the phone from the field is not working, so we 1916 01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,760 Speaker 2: have no idea what's happening to him. So they're yelling 1917 01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:44,720 Speaker 2: i'mou get down there and find out what's going on. 1918 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:48,120 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, geez, it's freezing down an arrowhead, right, 1919 01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:51,400 Speaker 2: I got this raider jacket on, so obviously, and I 1920 01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:53,920 Speaker 2: had to come out on the opposite side of the field. 1921 01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 2: On the chief side, I'm getting heckled. People are throwing 1922 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,639 Speaker 2: things at I mean literally throwing things at me. Right, 1923 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:02,080 Speaker 2: So I get to the other side and I now 1924 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,720 Speaker 2: figure out and I'm able to but I got to 1925 01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,080 Speaker 2: spend the rest of the half. It's first half on 1926 01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:12,880 Speaker 2: the field. Perspective on the field is like a different world. 1927 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:17,360 Speaker 2: So we had Marcus Allen. He carried the ball into 1928 01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 2: the middle of the field and he gets stuffed. And 1929 01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,519 Speaker 2: I can hear a cheese player saying something that I 1930 01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:25,840 Speaker 2: put it this way. I can't say it on the air, 1931 01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,800 Speaker 2: not even close. I can't even hint. I can't even 1932 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:32,280 Speaker 2: use a letter. Okay it was I A'm like, did 1933 01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,800 Speaker 2: he just say that? And you could see it on 1934 01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,439 Speaker 2: TV oil. A little pushing and shoving, but I mean, 1935 01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:40,560 Speaker 2: it's getting fierce so the Raiders were always of like, 1936 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 2: we don't get angry, we just get even, right. So 1937 01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,559 Speaker 2: they had a rookie running back out of Temple named 1938 01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,040 Speaker 2: Paul Palmer. He'd been running up for the heisman at 1939 01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,240 Speaker 2: Temple about all places, by the way, his coach was 1940 01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,920 Speaker 2: Bruce Arians in college. Anyway, he runs a sweep toward 1941 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,800 Speaker 2: the Lakers on the Lakers the Raiders' sideline, and he 1942 01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:02,080 Speaker 2: steps out of bounds, and one of our linebackers, after 1943 01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,640 Speaker 2: he had clearly stepped out of bounds, close lines him. 1944 01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:08,599 Speaker 2: Oh my god, and I am literally standing five feet 1945 01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 2: from this. I thought he'd decapitated him. He is out cold. 1946 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:17,200 Speaker 2: Flags are flying in you know, you know, penalty fifteen yards? 1947 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:20,640 Speaker 2: What happens it? I mean he is out cold. He 1948 01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 2: was out cold out. People never understand if you haven't been. 1949 01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,639 Speaker 2: I don't know how you guys ever step on a field. 1950 01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:36,640 Speaker 2: I'm serious, because I mean, I don't know how you 1951 01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:39,120 Speaker 2: guys do it.

So in those six I led 2092 01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:51,000 Speaker 3: the whole NFL and defensive sacks for a dB and 2093 01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:54,799 Speaker 3: so I had just come off like destroying JP lossman 2094 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:58,240 Speaker 3: like against Buffalo, sacked him twice too for small. 2095 01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:00,559 Speaker 2: Bring on Bill's fans, listen and you had to bring 2096 01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:02,559 Speaker 2: up JP lost exactly. 2097 01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:06,599 Speaker 3: But coming off that game, I was, you know, obviously 2098 01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:08,400 Speaker 3: a focus of defense coming in and so I was 2099 01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:11,360 Speaker 3: starting to come down and show a blitz against you know, 2100 01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:14,639 Speaker 3: against Peyton and the Colts, and he'd hit the whole. 2101 01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:15,479 Speaker 2: Check check, check check. 2102 01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,000 Speaker 3: He's like check carry Rose and I was like, I 2103 01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:21,040 Speaker 3: literally looked around, is he talking to Is he talking 2104 01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:21,280 Speaker 3: to me? 2105 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:23,880 Speaker 2: I had to like do that look, and it was like, Oh, 2106 01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:27,519 Speaker 2: I think I've actually a ride. I'm a good player. Nice, nice. 2107 01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:29,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2108 01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:32,800 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's funny because you think about it. Sometimes you 2109 01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:37,680 Speaker 2: see him baseball nondescript hitters have the number of some 2110 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,800 Speaker 2: of the best pitchers in baseball. They can't hit anybody else, 2111 01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:45,080 Speaker 2: but for whatever reason, they can see the ball come 2112 01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:47,599 Speaker 2: out of their hand at a certain angle. Or I mean, 2113 01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:50,719 Speaker 2: I would imagine that maybe there were quarterbacks that weren't 2114 01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:53,519 Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks in the league, that for some reason 2115 01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:55,479 Speaker 2: you had a hard time reading one. 2116 01:47:56,280 --> 01:48:00,320 Speaker 3: But you talk about those two, I mean, between Brady 2117 01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:04,479 Speaker 3: and Manning, Brady I've sacked, I've done all these things 2118 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,479 Speaker 3: to him, I've I've never picked him off, and that 2119 01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:08,960 Speaker 3: was the one thing that I mean, I would get 2120 01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:10,680 Speaker 3: close to his ball, but it had come off like 2121 01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:14,080 Speaker 3: a little bit. It was just a weird thing, exactly 2122 01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:16,640 Speaker 3: what you said, because I could have I played all 2123 01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:18,680 Speaker 3: these other guys and would pick them off easily, and 2124 01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:21,400 Speaker 3: Brady's would be a little harder to do. 2125 01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:28,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, has Mahomes clearly separated himself now from the 2126 01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:31,679 Speaker 2: rest of the field. Yes, there's nobody on this level 2127 01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:34,559 Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, think about this. He has already got 2128 01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:39,759 Speaker 2: two Super Bowl winsuper Super Bowl MVPs, two regular season MVPs. 2129 01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:41,439 Speaker 2: No one's done it this quick in their career. He's 2130 01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:44,680 Speaker 2: been in five straight Conference championship games, and it's going 2131 01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:48,040 Speaker 2: to be hard for somebody to throw him this year too. 2132 01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:51,920 Speaker 2: I mean, he's believe I wasn't there a year ago. Yeah. No, 2133 01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:56,519 Speaker 2: he's such a good player, Steve. He's light years ahead 2134 01:48:56,560 --> 01:49:00,280 Speaker 2: of guys with just the physical talent, but he also 2135 01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:02,439 Speaker 2: studies a game and an elite level. And he's with 2136 01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:06,120 Speaker 2: the coach that's so good at game planning. I don't 2137 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:07,679 Speaker 2: think anybody's going to beat the guys for a while. 2138 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,800 Speaker 2: All right. I give you a choice between Josh Allen 2139 01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:14,000 Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow. Who you gonna take. I'm going to 2140 01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:18,280 Speaker 2: take Joe Burrows. He's just so cool. Yeah, he seems 2141 01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:20,960 Speaker 2: so calm and collected. Josh. Is that a rivalry now, 2142 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,120 Speaker 2: do you? I mean, I mean the Bengals and the Chiefs. 2143 01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:24,880 Speaker 2: I know, you know, they try to make it out. 2144 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:29,680 Speaker 2: It's it's hard for NFL rivalries that don't really it's 2145 01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:33,200 Speaker 2: not about that's I'm glad you said that, all right. Now, 2146 01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:37,400 Speaker 2: As a fan, we love rivalry, sure, sure, I mean 2147 01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:41,519 Speaker 2: our attitude as a fan is, you know, as much 2148 01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:44,280 Speaker 2: as we love our team, we hate that other team 2149 01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:47,840 Speaker 2: to the same level. When you have a rival, you know, 2150 01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,799 Speaker 2: growing up in Los Angeles. You know the Lakers, Celtics. 2151 01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,560 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I mean, you know Dodgers, Giants. 2152 01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:58,200 Speaker 2: So you have the rivals and obviously I went to UCLA, 2153 01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:01,040 Speaker 2: my dad went to USC. You see, you say, rivalries 2154 01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:03,439 Speaker 2: been part of my life, my entire life, on both 2155 01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:09,160 Speaker 2: sides of it. But you're saying in the NFL level 2156 01:50:10,200 --> 01:50:13,800 Speaker 2: they talk about division rivals. Are those games any more 2157 01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:17,599 Speaker 2: intense than any other game? The division rival rivals would 2158 01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:19,439 Speaker 2: be a little bit more intense than the other games. 2159 01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:22,000 Speaker 2: But I mean when you played the Patriots, right, we 2160 01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:25,559 Speaker 2: wanted to destroy them, for sure. You mentality was different. 2161 01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:28,240 Speaker 2: But was that because of the rivalry or just because 2162 01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:29,360 Speaker 2: they were that good of a team? 2163 01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:32,040 Speaker 3: Exactly? It's that part. They were that good of a 2164 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:35,519 Speaker 3: team and they were kicking our butts. It was our 2165 01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:39,960 Speaker 3: time to kindly to combat that, right. It wasn't more 2166 01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:41,800 Speaker 3: about the rivalry, It was more about them being good. 2167 01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:44,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I agree with you. I mean, 2168 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:47,040 Speaker 2: you're like you say, I mean, some of these rivalries 2169 01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:49,759 Speaker 2: come and go just based on the moment. You remember 2170 01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:52,320 Speaker 2: back in the day when the U and Notre Dame 2171 01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:59,400 Speaker 2: at a pretty intense rivalry. Absolutely, but it wasn't something 2172 01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:01,880 Speaker 2: based on anything other than the fact that when they 2173 01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,320 Speaker 2: had those games, they were like the two best teams 2174 01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:05,280 Speaker 2: in the country. That's it. 2175 01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,080 Speaker 3: It's about how good the teams are. I mean, if 2176 01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:10,599 Speaker 3: it's a sucky ride, nobody wants to really watch that one, right, 2177 01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:12,400 Speaker 3: we want to watch the good ones. You want to 2178 01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:14,200 Speaker 3: watch the Yankees, the Red Sox, Right, we want to 2179 01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:16,479 Speaker 3: see those type of games. And then, you know, I 2180 01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,320 Speaker 3: think the good thing about the football, about NFL and 2181 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,680 Speaker 3: you know Cincinnati and Buffalo's thing that's going on right now, 2182 01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,839 Speaker 3: it's happening when it matters, right, It's happening in the playoffs, 2183 01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:30,080 Speaker 3: when these games are really this is where the players 2184 01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:33,080 Speaker 3: make their hay and these teams make their hay. And 2185 01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:36,120 Speaker 3: then during the season, obviously the piggyback off that playoff, 2186 01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:38,280 Speaker 3: when they play in a regular season, it can mean 2187 01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:39,840 Speaker 3: something because those teams are going to be good. 2188 01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:45,680 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is someone that has always impressed me, and 2189 01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,240 Speaker 2: it goes back to his Alabama days. Think about it, 2190 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,160 Speaker 2: and this guy is the Conference Newcomer of the Year 2191 01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:54,160 Speaker 2: as a freshman. You know, continues to build his sophomore 2192 01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:56,720 Speaker 2: year and then he gets benched, right right at the 2193 01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,760 Speaker 2: end of his sophomore year in the championship game too, 2194 01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,720 Speaker 2: as Tua throws into Devonte Smith for the game win, 2195 01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:05,400 Speaker 2: he touchdown, and then has to sit an entire year 2196 01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:09,760 Speaker 2: as a backup quarterback and then transfers to Oklahoma, has 2197 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:12,480 Speaker 2: the big year, and now look at him an incredible 2198 01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:15,720 Speaker 2: contract with the Eagles. And I remember, just sometimes you 2199 01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,360 Speaker 2: when we talk about the factor, I just need to listen. 2200 01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,960 Speaker 2: I need to hear somebody. And every interview I saw 2201 01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:27,360 Speaker 2: with Hurtz in how he handled that situation in Alabama 2202 01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,679 Speaker 2: told me there was a maturity factor waybeyond his years 2203 01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:35,559 Speaker 2: and that given the opportunity, he's going to surprise people. 2204 01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,280 Speaker 2: Because I would say with Hurts, I'd say, what's the 2205 01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:40,880 Speaker 2: ceiling on this guy? I mean, how good can he be? 2206 01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:43,920 Speaker 2: He's not Lamar Jackson, he doesn't have that kind of 2207 01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:47,560 Speaker 2: speed or anything else. How good can he be? And 2208 01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:50,519 Speaker 2: the one thing that I get back to is he's 2209 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,960 Speaker 2: a leader. He is. He's a leader for sure. I 2210 01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:58,360 Speaker 2: mean you can hear it, you can see it. Yeah, No, he's. 2211 01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:02,840 Speaker 3: Definitely a leader. I think I remember when they picked him, 2212 01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:07,400 Speaker 3: when Philly picked him, I was confused. Yeah, nobody really 2213 01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:08,840 Speaker 3: thought he was going to play quarterback on it, so 2214 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:12,479 Speaker 3: they were still on the win situation exactly. Nobody thought 2215 01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:15,640 Speaker 3: he'd be this and not this soon either. I mean, 2216 01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:19,080 Speaker 3: he's proved everybody wrong, I would say, I mean, obviously 2217 01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:23,000 Speaker 3: Philadelphia saw something, but outside of that, nobody really gave 2218 01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:24,800 Speaker 3: him a chance to be this and so I'm really 2219 01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:27,640 Speaker 3: happy for him, excited for him, and I want to 2220 01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:29,679 Speaker 3: see him do this again and I hope the success 2221 01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:30,920 Speaker 3: keeps going. 2222 01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:32,640 Speaker 2: Was that a smart play for the Eagles to give 2223 01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:36,360 Speaker 2: him that huge contract. I don't know, but you have to. 2224 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:39,000 Speaker 2: I mean they have said this is it, he's our guy. 2225 01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:39,640 Speaker 7: You have to. 2226 01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:42,519 Speaker 2: He showed it. They then have to give him that contract. 2227 01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:44,880 Speaker 2: I mean I think they did because of the way 2228 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:47,439 Speaker 2: he played and the way he led. Yeah, so just 2229 01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:50,240 Speaker 2: from that standpoint alone, I mean, the numbers ridiculous, right 2230 01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,200 Speaker 2: getting to the numbers, and that's for another conversation. 2231 01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:57,160 Speaker 3: But you saw this guy climb to where he did. 2232 01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,360 Speaker 3: He was in the MVP conversation until he got hurt, 2233 01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:01,720 Speaker 3: and the way he performed in the Super Bowl. 2234 01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:03,840 Speaker 2: Oh, he's the best player in the field except for 2235 01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:07,400 Speaker 2: one play which ended up costing the game. That guy 2236 01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:10,880 Speaker 2: one play. Yeah, all right. Coming up on the other side, 2237 01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:13,519 Speaker 2: we had another Superstars of the NFL we got to 2238 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:18,439 Speaker 2: get to.

Yeah, back to your normal cameo. 2254 01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:11,360 Speaker 8: Just just sitting up waiting for the Women's World Cup 2255 01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:13,200 Speaker 8: to start and get on soccer nos out. 2256 01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:17,480 Speaker 2: Yes, we'll share that for another week, maybe another day. Yeah, 2257 01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:20,520 Speaker 2: Women's World Cup ready to get under way, and I 2258 01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:22,720 Speaker 2: know that Nick Kobe is going to be all over that. 2259 01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:26,080 Speaker 2: You're a big fan of the women's World Cup. Team 2260 01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:29,880 Speaker 2: USA trying to become the first men's or women's team 2261 01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,760 Speaker 2: to win three consecutive World Cups. Yeah, that's right. 2262 01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:35,280 Speaker 8: So I think in the two thousands Germany was very close, 2263 01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,720 Speaker 8: but they got knocked out in the quarterfinals. So USA 2264 01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:40,320 Speaker 8: has got a chance here. But surprise, surprise, Germany is 2265 01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:41,920 Speaker 8: kind of the number two country in the in the 2266 01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:42,520 Speaker 8: world again. 2267 01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:46,080 Speaker 2: Brazil men won three out of four sixty two sixty six, 2268 01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:50,440 Speaker 2: and our sixty fifty eight, sixty two and seventy been 2269 01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:54,880 Speaker 2: not sixty six. Brandon, Brandon's been bringing all kinds of 2270 01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:59,040 Speaker 2: guests in here. I didn't realize you had such an entourage, Brandon, 2271 01:55:59,160 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 2: How is that possible? 2272 01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 7: I have friends. 2273 01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,040 Speaker 2: I know you have friends, but it's not he said, 2274 01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:09,480 Speaker 2: it's like an entourage. I got friends. I like, that's 2275 01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:12,320 Speaker 2: that's a good look for you. Brandon'm very very very good. 2276 01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:16,000 Speaker 2: We were talking earlier, we never really got into depth. 2277 01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:17,920 Speaker 2: I want to do it right now about this mid 2278 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:23,440 Speaker 2: season tournament in the NBA. Kerry the NBA Cup. You know, 2279 01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:27,240 Speaker 2: I can only imagine like a team like the Clippers. 2280 01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:30,720 Speaker 2: So the Clippers, of course will have their new arena, 2281 01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:32,680 Speaker 2: but they have at least one more year sharing now 2282 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:37,960 Speaker 2: Crypto dot Com arena with the Lakers. So imagine if 2283 01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:43,000 Speaker 2: the Clippers win the NBA Cup and they put up 2284 01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:47,640 Speaker 2: a big banner, So the Lakers have seventeen NBA Championship 2285 01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:52,040 Speaker 2: banners on one side, and then the Clippers, I mean, 2286 01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:54,440 Speaker 2: Steve Bomber can make the biggest banner ever. I mean, 2287 01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:57,240 Speaker 2: you could have a banner cover a whole side for sure, 2288 01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:02,040 Speaker 2: and it says NBA cupchampions Yeah, we're going to celebrate it. 2289 01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:05,360 Speaker 2: We're going to celebrate it. Let me, let me get 2290 01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:08,880 Speaker 2: a player's perspective on this. Would you just be embarrassed 2291 01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:11,440 Speaker 2: by that or what? Yeah, that's not going up against 2292 01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:15,440 Speaker 2: these championship banners. That would be a little weird. 2293 01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:16,160 Speaker 5: I know. 2294 01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,760 Speaker 2: The I think the final game in those cups the 2295 01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:22,080 Speaker 2: stats don't even count. So no, the championship game, well, 2296 01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:25,360 Speaker 2: the other games. Basically, what they've decided to do was 2297 01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:28,960 Speaker 2: re label regular season games. It's tournament games, okay, so 2298 01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:32,200 Speaker 2: those will be counted as regular season games, which, by 2299 01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,840 Speaker 2: the way, means the teams that don't progress to the 2300 01:57:35,160 --> 01:57:40,760 Speaker 2: knockout round will have consolation games, essentially like a loser's bracket, 2301 01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:42,560 Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, everyone's got to 2302 01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:46,680 Speaker 2: play eighty two games. Yeah, that sounds terrible. That sounds terrible. 2303 01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:49,080 Speaker 2: I got a suggestion, because these games are going to 2304 01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:53,600 Speaker 2: be in November, which is opposite the NFL. Okay, let's 2305 01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:57,480 Speaker 2: let's get real here. Okay, here's the obvious solution for 2306 01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:01,320 Speaker 2: the NBA. How about moving your season back six weeks. 2307 01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:06,200 Speaker 2: So how about starting your season, let's say, around Christmas 2308 01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:11,560 Speaker 2: and ending your season at the end of July instead 2309 01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:15,560 Speaker 2: of the early part of June. If you were right now, 2310 01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:18,640 Speaker 2: as we get into the dog days of the baseball season, 2311 01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,200 Speaker 2: middle of the season, if the NBAS are going on 2312 01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:28,440 Speaker 2: right now, the NBA Finals, right trying to go head 2313 01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:31,160 Speaker 2: to head at any point of the season against the 2314 01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:37,120 Speaker 2: NFL is suicide for your league. So forget re labeling 2315 01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:40,480 Speaker 2: regular season games as tournament games, thinking anyone else is 2316 01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:43,280 Speaker 2: going to watch anything that's not NFL related in the 2317 01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:46,400 Speaker 2: month of November. And how about moving your season back. 2318 01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:49,520 Speaker 3: Well, they at least they're putting the games on the 2319 01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:51,879 Speaker 3: days the games aren't played in the NFL, so they're. 2320 01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:55,800 Speaker 2: Going to nomatter. We're still talking NFL Tuesday and Friday, Sea. 2321 01:58:55,880 --> 01:58:59,240 Speaker 2: They're still they're doing something to try to combat out 2322 01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:01,960 Speaker 2: little coverage we give to the NBA in the month 2323 01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:05,839 Speaker 2: of November. I do know that once the NFL season starts, 2324 01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:11,520 Speaker 2: it's nothing else NBA and college football football rules. That 2325 01:59:11,680 --> 01:59:13,920 Speaker 2: is true, and it's not going to be any more 2326 01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:16,960 Speaker 2: eyeballs on it, for sure. We know because the idea is, 2327 01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:19,840 Speaker 2: if you're already an NBA fan, you're going to watch 2328 01:59:19,880 --> 01:59:25,640 Speaker 2: the games anyway exactly, so you're not creating new excitement 2329 01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:28,520 Speaker 2: around who is going to ditch the NFL because an 2330 01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,959 Speaker 2: NBA cut playoff game is on nobody. 2331 01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:34,800 Speaker 3: But they think if you get that de facto day 2332 01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:39,800 Speaker 3: off Tuesday Friday in between sandwiched in there, you may 2333 01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:40,600 Speaker 3: get a few. 2334 01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:47,000 Speaker 2: Occasional glance a regular season that I'm with you, But 2335 01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:51,280 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, that's that's the thinking anyway. I 2336 01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:53,920 Speaker 2: just look, I'm an NBA fan. I don't need some 2337 01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:57,920 Speaker 2: kind of Koka Mamy, you know, window dressing. I'll watch 2338 01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:02,000 Speaker 2: the NBA. We got a good matchup I'll watch in November. Yeah, 2339 02:00:02,080 --> 02:00:05,400 Speaker 2: I want to see certain players, certain teams. Carry good stuff. 2340 02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:07,600 Speaker 2: Today man always always great. We got to do a 2341 02:00:07,640 --> 02:00:10,240 Speaker 2: doubleheader one of these days. Whenever you want. We're just 2342 02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:13,480 Speaker 2: getting started here. Don't go anywhere. Much more coming up. 2343 02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:15,520 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio
