1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: What is up, Straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: Fire for Monday, August twenty six, Folks, this is a

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: landmark week for your boy. This is the first time

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: that I've been off of FS one in a long

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: time where I wasn't going on a trip and I'm

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: able to just you know, live life at home for

8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: a week without doing the herd and it is. We'll

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: see how the week goes. I mean, I'm very excited.

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: I woke up this morning fired up. I'm like, oh,

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: maybe I'll hit the gym in the morning instead. And

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: then I look at my desk with like, you know,

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: thirty seven unpaid bills. I got a jury duty service

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: that I will cancel out of today or I'll tell

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: them I can't do it. Obviously, I've got a lot

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: of stuff going on. Yeah, so you handle the bills.

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football draft this week. Very exciting time. And let's

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: start with college football as we had a shocker over

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: the weekend. Now I know, listen, it's college football. It's

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 2: week zero. FSU coming in off last year's incredible win.

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: They ended the bowl game where everybody missed time. Everybody

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: missed the bowl game and they lose by sixty and

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: now they come out against Georgia Tech double digit favorites.

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: I told you I was waiting for the nine and

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: a half. I never got the nine and a half,

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: so I had fun with it. I was like, oh,

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: you know what, let me let me take the over

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: parlayd with FSU money line. Yeah, that should be in play.

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: And I was unable to watch a second of the game.

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to bore you with the details. And

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: I get this. I checked the score. I'm like, wait

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: a minute, Georgia Tech one on a last second field goal.

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: What the heck? And then I watched the highlights. I'm like,

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: oh my goodness. FSU opens this season with a loss

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: in Dublin. Now listen, FSU was picked by a bunch

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: of people to go to the playoffs. Playoff. Sorry, and

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: you look at the schedule, it's like, okay, well, I

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: guess the season will come down to whatever happens against

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Clemson and Miami and Notre Dame. Because there's not a

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: lot of room for error, Like you could probably get

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: in the playoff with two losses. I don't think you're

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: getting in with three, I just don't think that's going

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: to happen. So with one loss, and I forgot the

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: FSU has Florida to end the season, So just not

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: a great start to the season. But here's what's crazier.

46
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: The bigger story, rob G was what happened. I guess

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: it was Friday afternoon. Dion Sanders got into it with

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: a reporter, I'm sorry, a columnist at the Denver Post.

49
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: His name is Sean Keeler. Maybe we'll have to try

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: to get him on the pod, Rob and the school

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: has officially banned him from asking questions to players or

52
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: coaches because Dion Sanders didn't like his I don't know

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: if this is accurate, but basically just didn't like the

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: negativity coming from the columnist. Now I'll interject at this point.

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: I grew up as a young guy reading the Washington

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: Post and the columnists were Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser.

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: I mean there was other guys, Jayadonde and Rachel Nichols

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: and all these other people, but those were the two

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: primary horses. And Tony Korneiser was relentless. He would beat

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: up the Washington Wizards all the time at the time,

61
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: they were the Washington Bullets, and he had funny names

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: for all the guy. He called this guy John Williams,

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: John hotplate Williams because he essentially was eating his way

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: out of the league and just like showed up in

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: camp like twenty pounds overweight and he had And I

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: never forgot that Nick thom I was like, that is

67
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: genius from Cornheiser. And he was just relentless. He would

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: bash coaches, he would bash players, he would not he

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: wasn't like mister negativity. It was funny, right, And I

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: think that's the job of a columnist, be an opinionated

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: guy who a guy or gal who is sometimes aggressive,

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: sometimes laudatory, and you know, you run the gamut of

73
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: emotions and you kind of go with where the story is.

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: And let's be real, Deon Sanders is talking a lot

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: of trash of Colorado. And this columnist really irked Dion

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: by coming up with some nicknames for him. He called

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: him Deposition Dion. Right, I'm sure you guys remember that story.

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: There's a lawsuit going on. I'm not gonna bore you

79
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: with the details, but one of the nicknames was Deposition Dion.

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: The next was the Bruce Lee of BS, which is

81
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: pretty damn good. That is, you know, that's good. Listen, Dion,

82
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: it takes to the mic and says a ton of garbage,

83
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: just junk, and he called him a false prophet. He

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: called him planet Prime and the Dion kool aid and

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: also used the word circus and all this stuff just

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: irks Dion. He's like, dude, why are you so negative?

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: So they had this tense back and forth and ultimately

88
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: Dion was like, you don't like us, why do you

89
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: do this to yourself? No, I'm serious, why do you

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: do this? Like you know, you don't like why do

91
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: you do this? And it's like, well, I don't know.

92
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean, let's be real, guys, Let's think about Colorado

93
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: awesome start last year, it was great and then it cratered,

94
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: but nobody really talks about how badly it created it

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: and the where's injuries?

96
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: Fine?

97
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: And then in the off season a lot of noise

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: coming out of there, Dion sun Shadure talking trash to

99
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: guys who used to be on the team, who voiced

100
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: their opinion, like it's a lot of posturing, and it's

101
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: almost as if Dion wants everybody to use a phrase.

102
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sound old here, but like my dad always

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: uses carry water, you know, like you're carrying water for

104
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: the football program. That's what Dion wants the reporters and

105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: the media to do. I'm gonna say this now, you

106
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: go tell everybody I said this, you know. And it's

107
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: weird because I've talked about this a lot. We're in

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: the phase in media where the middleman aka columnists and

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: beat writers, you could just go around them. I mean,

110
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: if Dion really wants to put out an important statement,

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: he'll just go on to social media and say it

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: and post a video on Instagram and boom, that's gonna

113
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: get two million views because he had something strong to say.

114
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: You don't need to go through the media, who are

115
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: then gonna kind of sort of distort your point. And

116
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: it's just the media is not as relevant as they

117
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: used to be because Dion has the power. I mean,

118
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders probably has. I'm just gonna go ahead and

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: guess more social media followers than the Denver Post sports

120
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: department and all the columnists come by. And that's a

121
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: quarterback of a college football team. So from their point

122
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 2: of view, it's like, why do we need this Denver

123
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Post columnist, we don't need this guy. But if that's

124
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: the case, Rob, why are they banning him. It's almost

125
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: as if, maybe, kind of sort of Dion doesn't think

126
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: he's got us a great team. And we had Brad

127
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: Powers on last week and he's like, I'm on under

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: on Colorado. Maybe there's some stuff going on behind the

129
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: scenes at Colorado that aren't great. I don't know, Rob.

130
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: I just found this almost you know, chicken shit from

131
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders.

132
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: Ding ding ding ding ding. This was one of the

133
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: most soft, immature, disappointing actions I've seen by a adult,

134
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: grown man in a long, long time. Dion Sanders going

135
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 3: back to college in Florida State was like the mouth

136
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: of the South, and for a good reason, because he

137
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: was an all time great player in college, all time

138
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: great player in the NFL. He's an upper upper upper

139
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: tier Hall of Famer. Everything that he said, all the

140
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: braggadoc show, the comments, the rap music, the interviews, he

141
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: could back it up tenfold. That's how good he was.

142
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: The problem with that, though, the downside to that is

143
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: when you talk like that and you can't back it up.

144
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: And since Dion Sanders has been at Colorado. He has

145
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: been writing check after check after check that his team

146
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: cannot cash. The check is bau over and over and

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: over and over, and this has been a trend now

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: basically since he started. Okay, after their Week one upset

149
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: of TCU last season, Edward who was who was I'm

150
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: not even gonna say critical. He was not optimistic about

151
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: what Colorado would be in the twenty twenty three season.

152
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 3: So after the game, Edward is in the postgame podium

153
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: press conference. Dion spots him says do you believe? And

154
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 3: Edward is kind of confused. He says, but believe in what?

155
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: Dion says, Oh, he doesn't believe. Next question doesn't even

156
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: give him the opportunity to ask his question, to say

157
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 3: any kind of statement and say, hey, obviously you pulled

158
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: proved me wrong. What have you never give me opportunity

159
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: flash forward? Obviously they have the season from hell, for

160
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: lack of a better term, I know they came from

161
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: being a winless team the year before, but given the

162
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: expectations and the media coverage and what was going on

163
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: with them through the first month of the season and

164
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: the way it ended, it could not have ever been

165
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: classified anything more than a failure like you can't have

166
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: You're on FS one every week and ESPN every week,

167
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: and college game days out there and big new kickoffs

168
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: out there every week, and every week your team loses.

169
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 3: There's no coming back from that. But a couple of

170
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: weeks ago, even before this instance, Deon Sanders is taking

171
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: questions a guy from a CBS affiliate in Denver. Now, Jason,

172
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: you work at FS one. Technically your parent company is Fox. Yeah,

173
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: I guess in a roundabout way, you and the Fox

174
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: eleven guy are somewhat you know here in Los Angeles,

175
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: somewhat in common, just in the facts that you guys

176
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: both have a Fox flag somewhere around your microphone. Okay,

177
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: but in reality everyone knows FS one, Fox News, Fox Sports,

178
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: Fox eleven Los Angeles totally separate entities. So Deon Sanders

179
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: has a guy come up and says, hey, so and

180
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: so CBS for Oh, I'm gonna stop be there. You

181
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: know what you did? No questions from CBS. He's like,

182
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: I'm from the affiliate, I'm not from No, No, you're

183
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: from CBS. Same thing. What they did was foul. You

184
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: don't get asked me any questions. And we find out

185
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: later from a couple of people in Denver. The thing

186
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: he was upset about was a cbssports dot com opinion

187
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: piece where they were ranking the Big Twelve coaches and

188
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: they had Deon Sanders last.

189
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: Oh.

190
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: So he was so mad at a cbssports dot Com

191
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: article that he wouldn't let the CBS local affiliate in

192
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: Denver ask him a question. Deon Sanders is gonna keep

193
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: reminding us over and over and over who he is.

194
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: He is a guy who wants to be worshiped. He

195
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: wants to be admired. He wants all the glitz and

196
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: glamour that comes with the media, except when things go sideways,

197
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: in which case, don't talk to me, you don't get

198
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: asked me questions. I'm not going to give you the

199
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: opportunity to even look me in the eye. He's that

200
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: kind of guy. That's really disappointing.

201
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: M okay, I just called up the Big Twelve coach

202
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: rankings for twenty twenty four someone named David Cobb. I

203
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: don't know of CBS Sports. So he had Kyle Whittingham first.

204
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: That's obvious. Winning Ham at Utah's great, he's the best

205
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: coach in the conference. But then he had like the

206
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: Kansas coach Kansas got a good year, Chris Clive and

207
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: at Kansas State they've been good. My Gundy at Oklahoma State,

208
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: Sunny Dykes. These guys have accomplished way more. Matt Campbell

209
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: at sixth, and then you got to go way down

210
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,599
Speaker 2: the list, way down the list for Dion Sanders, so

211
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: he had them at technically at fifteenth. Kenny Dillingham was

212
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: the sixteenth at Arizona. But Dion's foundation has cracks. See

213
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: the offensive line, for example, as the Buffalo's transition of

214
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: the Big twelve and face another tough schedule that may

215
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: be harsh, But I think the obvious takeaway from Dion

216
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: is his boisterousness and actions and attitude and style and

217
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: swag and all that fun stuff that certainly outweighs his record,

218
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: which ain't great. He hasn't really done anything in the

219
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: Power five. And I don't this quote that he's coming

220
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: out saying, I'm not you know, I'm one hundred percent

221
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: going to not be coaching my kids next year was

222
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: an interesting one. I'm sure you saw that over the weekend.

223
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: Like that kind of sort of sinks. A lot of

224
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: talk about him going to Dallas to take the place

225
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: of McCarthy or him going who knows where to coach

226
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: his son in the NFL. I found that a little surprising.

227
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: And again I'm not going to put a ton of

228
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: stock into it, like I can say right now, I

229
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: one hundred percent am you know, blah blah blah, and

230
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: a year from now and then things change. Like that's

231
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 2: how life works, right, you know, like things just change.

232
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: And this idea that Dion thinks he's one hundred percent

233
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: going to be in college next year, I think that's

234
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: just total crap. Would you agree, Robert, you think he's

235
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: sticking around?

236
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: I believe if he wants to stay at Colorado, no

237
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: matter what happens, they'll keep him. I think that this

238
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: instance right now might seem small to sports fans, you know,

239
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 3: in Florida or New York, because they don't really understand

240
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: the media, you know, coverage. But Colorado in this thance

241
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 3: is by allowing it to happen repeatedly and now in

242
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: this case, putting it in writing in a statement directed

243
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: to the Denver Post, saying, your top columnist, who has

244
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: been covering this team since before Dion even got here,

245
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: is not allowed to ask questions they have cowtow to him.

246
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: They are beholding a deon Sanders, if only because at

247
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: a minimum, he makes them a ton of money with

248
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: the attention degenerates.

249
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would largely agree with that. It's man like.

250
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: I guess you can try that in Colorado. I don't

251
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: think you can do that in a New York or

252
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 2: an LA. Maybe even you.

253
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: Can't do that with any school that has a backbone. Yeah,

254
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: not for din for their bottom line exactly. I'm sure

255
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: they're just like, oh, oh, actually, Deans man, it's a

256
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: lot of money. Hey, you want to ban that common

257
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: it's fine, fine by us. He can't ask questions. You

258
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: could show up, but we're just not gonna answer questions.

00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's quickly pivot to Yeah, let's go NFL

264
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: real quick. I gotta give Russell Wilson a bit of

265
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: a shout out. Remember he was embroiled in that quarterback

266
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: battle with Justin Fields and basically the Pittsburgh Steelers first

267
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: team offense right right down the field and scored with

268
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson at the helm. And you know that's the

269
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: kind of thing that I think Tomlin will just see. Oh,

270
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: we hadn't been able to do Jack squat in our

271
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: last two games, and Russ comes in and boom, right

272
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: down the field we score. Now Fields did have a

273
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: touchdown drive of his own. But I think it's pretty

274
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: clear after game that Russ is going to be the guy.

275
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: I will ask a fantasy question here, Rob. I'm in

276
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: a keeper league and I was thinking of keeping Pickens,

277
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: but I just don't the uncertainty of quarterback now Deontay

278
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: Johnson gone. He eats up a lot of the target share.

279
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: I think Pickens could be a big time breakout guy.

280
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's worth keeping over Pooka or

281
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: I got Aaron Jones, I got Pacheco Kelsey. Like a

282
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: team didn't win anything last year. I don't really have

283
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: a true one, but I think Russ is probably gonna

284
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: be the guy, and he wanted the only other quarterback

285
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: battle that is not really a battle, it's just by default.

286
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: Interesting is that Jacoby Brissett got hurt Sunday night in

287
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: a preseason game. It looked like he landed on his shoulder.

288
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: We don't have an official report. I'm sure they'll do

289
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: an MRI today. But not only that, Drake May once

290
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: again look competent. So if you guys remember, like three

291
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: weeks ago, everybody was taking a dumb Drake May's not ready.

292
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, he is definitely not the guy that

293
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: he probably sits this year. And there was a speculation, well,

294
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: what if you know they have the first pick overall,

295
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: do they move off Drake Bay? Like everybody was off May.

296
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: And then he had a couple splash plays that were like, oh,

297
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: he's got some wheels, he's got some accuracy, and now

298
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: he showed well and Brissett's hurt, and it's like it

299
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: looks like I would not be shocked if later today

300
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: the Patriots made the announcement Drake May will be starting

301
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: Week one in two weeks, regardless of what's up with

302
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: Brissett's shoulder. The more almost as interesting the Joe Milton stuff,

303
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback from Tennessee. If you guys don't follow recruiting

304
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: and college football that much, this guy, Joe Milton was

305
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: like a massive, big time recruit. I'm talking six '

306
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: five strapping. He's like Cam. He built like Cam Newton

307
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: with a monster arm. He just is inability to complete

308
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: the short and easy passes. See everything's a heater for him.

309
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: One hundred mile an hour, three yard out, dumb offfs

310
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: to running backs are fired because his arm is so big.

311
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: And Chris Collinsworth on the braodcast last night said that

312
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: Joe Milton could throw the ball ninety five yards in

313
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 2: the air. Now we got to see that. They did

314
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: show him during the telecast throwing some uptil like sixty

315
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: five yard lasers and I think one with seventy right

316
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: on the dot and ninety five is a bit much.

317
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: But Milton is an interesting guy because even listen, we've

318
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: seen a lot of guys come up with a big

319
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: cannon and they can't do anything. Milton has the pieces

320
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: in place. He was a big time recruit. I think

321
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 2: he was like a four or five star recruit. He

322
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: did bounce around a few schools. He's had some injuries,

323
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: but all of a sudden, the Patriots, it looks like

324
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be rookie and rookie on the depth

325
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: chart for week one. If this injury is serious to

326
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett, which is music to my ears as a

327
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: guy who wants to fade the Patriots.

328
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: Rob Yeah, And you know, I was surprised when you

329
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 3: said you want to give a quick shout out. I

330
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: was hoping you were going to say Trey Lance and

331
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: not Russell Wilson, because he may have completed quickly the

332
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: single most impressive preseason in NFL history, led the NFL,

333
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: led the NFL in both passing six sixty two and

334
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: rushing one hundred and sixty eight yards in the preseason,

335
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: and interceptions he had five in one game. So Trey

336
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: Lance the gift that keeps on giving no matter which

337
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 3: side of the team you play for. But as far

338
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: as the New England Patriots situation, it's it's kind of disappointing.

339
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: I guess part of it because that you hate to

340
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: see injury dictate something like this. But all the information

341
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: we were getting late last week into the weekend was

342
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: that Drake May, who had been comfortably number two, like

343
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: he wasn't really threatening anything throughout most of the camp, had

344
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: suddenly started to gain ground and gain ground. It was

345
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: putting practices together, putting series together. They said that he'd

346
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: looked like he was finally comfortable, and he comes out

347
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 3: on Sunday night, he goes right down the field, boom

348
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: boom boom, boom boom, touchdown. He finishes the night thirteen

349
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: of twenty one to twenty six to one touchdown. So

350
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: the final stat line wasn't as good as the beginning.

351
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 3: But in that opening drive you saw everything that had

352
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: stout scouts drooling over it. The size, the arm, talent,

353
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: the mobility. He really did look like a carbon copy

354
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: version of Justin Herbert. And before I even realized that

355
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett was really hurt, I was hoping that if

356
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: you're in New England and we both think that they

357
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 3: could be in the market for the number one pick

358
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: next year, because that roster just isn't very good, that

359
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: if you're gonna be bad, at least let this young

360
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: quarterback get his feet wet just to see what you

361
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: have in him, because if you're gonna be picking that

362
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: high again, and there are some quarterbacks that could be available,

363
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: Shador Standers is the one you mentioned could be available.

364
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: The Georgia k could be available. You want to know

365
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: if you need to go back to that well a

366
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 3: second time. And Drake may wash showing flashes last week

367
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 3: in practice last night early on, and it seems like

368
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: he's gonna get this runaway now because of the injury.

369
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: But I would have liked to have seen him win

370
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 3: it out right. That just would have been my preference.

371
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I'm largely with you. And again these

372
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: are bottom of the barrel, not super interesting quarterback jobs.

373
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: It just shows like what the situation is with backup

374
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in this league. Like, I don't know, Mac Jones

375
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: kind of looked somewhat competent in a preseason game over

376
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: the weekend, and I was like, oh, Mac Jones and Jacksonville,

377
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: you know, like I didn't think much of it, But

378
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm kind of sort of bullish on Jacksonville.

379
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: It's just a weird spot right now in the league

380
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: with like Justin Fields, Mac Jones, Zack will I don't

381
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: even know if Zach Wilson's gonna practice squad guy, we

382
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: don't know. NFL just getting absolutely wacky. Have you had

383
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: a Fantasy draft yet, Robbgie?

384
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: Not yet. But Sunday night, I did find out that

385
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: in the league that I'm gonna be playing in at

386
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: a Sports Radio twelve team PPR No I'm going to

387
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: be picking eleventh, which R at first was something I

388
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: wasn't too excited about, but then looking at who might

389
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: be available, I think I would rather be picking nine, ten, eleven,

390
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: twelve than one, two, three, four.

391
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: So let me guess according to whatever ESPN, Fox, whoever

392
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: you're doing it with, CBS, whatever Fantasy Spot, I would

393
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: guess James Cook is probably going to be in the mix.

394
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones, Travis ETN. Does that sound right? Or are

395
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: they higher like in the five, six, seven, eight range?

396
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 3: No, No, they're low. They're actually probably mid to late

397
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: second round.

398
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: What on PPR?

399
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the top guys in PPR, I mean a lot

400
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: of the same usual characters running back wise, it's Christian McCaffrey,

401
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 3: Breisee Hall, Jean Robinson, right, and then the receivers is

402
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: where it gets tricky. Maybe we get to this later

403
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: in the week, because if all things considered, the top

404
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: two guys for the most part, CD Lamb, Jamar Chase

405
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: and Tyreek Hill, so mix the top three. But if

406
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 3: CD Lamb and Jamar Chase, and as the time of

407
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 3: this recording, I think Jamar Chase came back to practice

408
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: once last week. Ceede Lamb has been away from the

409
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: team this entire time. Like, do you really feel confident

410
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: taking one of those guys high in the draft knowing

411
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: no camp. There's gonna be a ramp up period through

412
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: the first couple of weeks of the season, you would,

413
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: you would think, And history says when guys do not

414
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 3: work in camp, there's a higher probability of soft tissue

415
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: injuries because their body hasn't been acclimated yet to game speed.

416
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: That's really bad.

417
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: So real football and fantasy football, Like, I don't know,

418
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: Like that's gonna be a really interesting to see it

419
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: play out. Yeah, you put Iyuk in there too, or no,

420
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: I mean I would, but he's going later in the draft. Anyways.

421
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: He's not a PPR machine, that's yeah. PPR is just catches.

422
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 2: But I thought Etn would be a good win out

423
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: of the backfield. I actually kind of think he's good.

424
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: That the Warren Sharp book kind of broke down schedule

425
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: jewel of opposing defenses and I'm not giving away too much,

426
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: but Etn seems like he's got a good season ahead

427
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: of him.

432
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: We'll wrap up with this only because it was just

433
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: a master class in drilling somebody, and that was my guy,

434
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson obviously my favorite player growing up

435
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: as a kid. Loved him in the eighties. I thought

436
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: he was, you know, the greatest point guard ever and

437
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: goat potential. And then of course, you know, Lebron comes

438
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: along and Steph Curry and makes this interesting and worthwhile discussion. Magic.

439
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's hurt his brand with this

440
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: silly social media commentary where he says the most obvious shit.

441
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: It's almost laughable. It's not like, I don't know if

442
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: it's it's embarrassing laughable, it doesn't. It probably doesn't hurt

443
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: him at all. Still, it's like Magic, he's a cuddly bear.

444
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: He's always smiling, you know. Haha, look at all old

445
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: man Magic saying nonsense. Well, Magic came back at Anthony

446
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: Edwards because last week Anthony Edwards said that no, there

447
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: wasn't a ton of skill right outside of Michael Jordan

448
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 2: in that era. So somewhere, Magic Johnson, I don't know,

449
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: something called no leash TV. I don't know was asked, Hey,

450
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 2: what did you think of what Anthony Edwards said? And

451
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: Magic goes. I never respond to a guy that's never

452
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: won a championship. He didn't win a college championship. I

453
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: don't know IFVEN know if he won a high school championships. Like,

454
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: damn Magic, that's about as good as it gets, short

455
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: and sweet, and it's like it's it's a sick burn.

456
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: It's not like a dig at Edwards. But the biggest

457
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: part is Magic didn't address the underlying issue, which is skill.

458
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: And I know that this is funny and it's a

459
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: sick burn. Nice job, good comeback, Magic, But okay, what

460
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: do you think about the skill?

461
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: Magic?

462
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: Let's be real, let's do one hundred percent honesty. Is

463
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: the skill way superior now than it was? And I

464
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: think that's undeniable, yes now, but everybody's gonna get you know,

465
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: laughed and chuckles at the at the Magic comments. But

466
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: I'm just curious where you're at on that. Rob.

467
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: If that's how Magic Johnson feels, then we need to

468
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: take Charles Barkley off every television show possible, because I

469
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 3: don't think Charles Barkley ever want a championship either, and

470
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: he's supposed to be the foremost member of the NBA media.

471
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: Did he win a college title at Auburn? No?

472
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: No, no, And I like Charles but no, So that's

473
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: number one. Number two, And here's the underlying issue. I'm

474
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: a Laker fan, so obviously I like Magic Johnson, but

475
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: as being a member of the media and somebody who's

476
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: on a podcast with you, I do have to have

477
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: an opinion on things. And the reality is Magic Johnson,

478
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: who by my account is the greatest point guard of

479
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: all time. You have him number two. Go back and

480
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: watch the video. Watch on YouTube, passing out of this world,

481
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: rebounding great for his position, six ' nine point guard.

482
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: He's incredible. Just watch Magic Johnson, the greatest point guard

483
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: in NBA history, for my money, couldn't really use his

484
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: left hand. Was a lot of right hand, right hand,

485
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 3: right hand, let me back you in, right hand, right hand, pass,

486
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 3: right hand, bind the back, right hand over the shoulder.

487
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: I'll get it to my left so I can get

488
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: it back to my right in a different position. But

489
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: he wasn't really using his left hand the way his offhand,

490
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: the way you would see in today's point guards the

491
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: way Kyrie Irving uses it the way you know Steve

492
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: Nash did back in the day because he didn't have to.

493
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 3: He was six ' nine and he had vision better

494
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: than anybody in NBA history and most likely. But just

495
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 3: something as simple as that is an illustration that you

496
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily, number one, need to develop all your feels

497
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: like that when you're a six to nine point guard.

498
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 3: And number two, that's just the way the game was

499
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: played back then. Like there was the efficiency of your movements,

500
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: There wasn't a lot of handling. There wasn't a lot

501
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: of showmanship, so to speak. For a handful of guys,

502
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: it was, you know, very condensed courts. Everybody's packing the paint.

503
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of screening and grabbing and

504
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: clutching and things of that nature. And you didn't necessarily

505
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: get to see guys show out like the way they

506
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: do now. So no, the skill level is the depth

507
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: at least is much deeper now than it ever was

508
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 3: than it was back then. But of course you're not

509
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: going to get an unbiased pain for Magic Johnson.

510
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: And let's be real, I'm a Magic Johnson guy. Through it,

511
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: through Larry Bird's skill set probably eclipsed magic. Oh yeah

512
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 2: for this for one primary game where he gave the

513
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: Portland Trailblazers like forty seven points and like the bulk

514
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: of them with his left hand. And afterward everybody's like,

515
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: Larry why are you shooting with your left hand? He's like,

516
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: I got to save my right hand for the Lakers

517
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: tomorrow night and I'm back. It was just classic and

518
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: it was real. You're like, you could go watch this.

519
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: This is not made up. Like Larry Bird, right handed shooter,

520
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: was just making shots with the left and you're just like,

521
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: that is insane.

522
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 3: But he had to because, like again, he didn't have

523
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 3: the genetic advantage that Matge John said six to nine

524
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: part that doesn't exist. Yeah, Larry Bird was, like he

525
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: says himself, unathletic, can't run, can't jump. So what did

526
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: he have to do to become a basketball player. He

527
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: had to develop all of his skills. He could handle

528
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: for his size. He was a great reboundy, he was

529
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: a good pastor, he was a phenomenal shooter. So Larry

530
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: Bird was one of the guys, even though he was unathletic,

531
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: was one of the most skilled players of his generation.

532
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: Arguably one of the most skilled all time in terms

533
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: of being well rounded in that regard.

534
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: So in the left handed game, he had forty seven

535
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: to fourteen and eleven in an overtime win. Now, he

536
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: didn't attempt every shot with his left, but he just

537
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: started going with the left and like everything was going in.

538
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: And I don't think that was a fluke game. Now me,

539
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: I'm not Larry Birder, Magic Johnson obviously maybe of the

540
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: podcast space. Ah, I don't even think I could make

541
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: a free throw with my left hand. That's how hard

542
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: shooting with my left Like, I just and I would

543
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: go through the phase back in the day where you're like, hey,

544
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: you know how to improve your left hand, Rob, brush

545
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: your teeth with your left hand, try to write with

546
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: your do everything with your left And I was like,

547
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 2: h and I tried that, and I just hated, like

548
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: the minimum, brushing your teeth with your left hand. But uh, yeah,

549
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting for Magic.

550
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: And anytime Rob.

551
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: G and I can work in an NBA topic, you

552
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: know that's gonna happen. All right, big week ahead, by

553
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: the way, hurt is dark. So I'll just be on

554
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: the podcast. We'll do some fantasies, some gambling, probably college

555
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: football this weekend. I haven't looked at the lines yet,

556
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: but you know I have a lot of time now

557
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: to do that. So very exciting. So we are back tomorrow.

558
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: Talk to you then,
