<v Speaker 1>the State Farm NBA play Tournament. Isn't exactly Starting out

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>with a bang tonight, Pacers host the Hornets Eastern Conference

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>nine ten battle. Then you have the Celtics. They will

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>host the Wizards the seven eight matchup do or die

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>for Indian Charlotte, loser of the Boston Washington game gets

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>another shot to advance to the playoffs. But this certainly

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>pales in comparison to what we have tomorrow night, the

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>featured matchup Lebron and the Lakers versus Steph and the Warriors.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>If you're a true NBA fan, there's always a reason

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Maybe this is your first chance to watch

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the Hornets. Rookie LaMelo Ball, he missed a long stretch

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>with a broken wrist, still has a chance to be

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the Rookie of the year. Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>make the Wizards interesting, and the Celtics are probably fascinatingly inconsistent.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>As for Indiana, Oh they seem like nice guys. All right,

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not Lebron and Steff, but it's still postseason basketball.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>It's here to stay and I'll take it. Mcleven you

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>got a pull quite and for me today, Well let's

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>start right there. Do you think the NBA should keep

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 1>the play in tournament moving forward? Yes, because I think

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they have to with the regular season being viewed as

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>not a necessity of where you end up. You know,

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>your seed doesn't matter. I think if you feel like

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you're good enough team, I think the Lakers probably thought,

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>what's the worst case scenario, all Right, we got a

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>play in game, all right, we get two chances here.

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they felt pretty comfortable with that. But I

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 1>also like that Washington season was over with COVID issues, injuries,

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>they made a trade, they brought in Russell Westbrook, and

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>then they sort of brought the franchise back to life

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>here and they're sort of in the playoffs, and I

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>think it's a really intriguing matchup there. I'm interested to

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>watch that game. I truly am, because of Bradley Beale

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and Russell Westbrook, and I don't know what the Celtics

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>are doing because they got so close and it feels

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like they're so far away. I think you have to

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>have if there's gonna be load management, then I think

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to have something that says, how do we

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>make the you know, the end of the regular season interesting.

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>How do we get a few more fan bases involved

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>in it. It's gimmicky, but I understand it. And I

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>think that maybe allowing sixteen playoff teams you sort of

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>watered down the playoffs. Now having the play in tournament

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 1>spices it up just a little bit more. It's here,

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it's here to stay. You've got a sponsor, State Farm,

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know we're not going to have the Lakers

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>versus the Warriors every year, and most of these play

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in games are going to be like the play in

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>games for the NCAA tournament, where you're gonna go, all right,

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll watch, but doesn't really count. Like if the Lakers

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>were healthy, they wouldn't be in this position. If Golden

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>State was healthy, they wouldn't be in this position. These

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>positions are for teams like Memphis, New Orleans, Washington, Boston's

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>a disappointment this year, but for the most part, when

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you see the play in teams, these are teams that

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>really need something like this just to keep their season alive. Yeah, McLevin,

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>I understand that there's less tanking because of this, and

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that's huge. That's a huge benefit. But it kind of

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>reminds me how in college football, since every game seems

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to matter because you need to win to get into

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, but in college basketball regular she's a college

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>basketball game doesn't mean much because everyone gets in the tournament. Now,

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>two thirds of the NBA is in the playoffs. So

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>why does a one versus two seed in February on

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a Saturday night, Why is that game really going to

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>mean a It feels like it's watering down. Well, let

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>me go back to college football, because you say, hey,

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 1>every game matters. Well, once you lose twice, then you

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>have no chance to be in the final four. Right

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>if you're an average team or a team that doesn't

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>get recognition, or you're an outlier not in the Power

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.359
<v Speaker 1>five conference, then you have no chance. College football needs

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.799
<v Speaker 1>to expand if they want to have their regular season

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>mean more. I don't think I don't think it takes

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>away from the regular season college football because let's face it,

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>how many schools have a legitimate chance to win the

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>national title every year? Like eight maybe? Now if I

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>have a twelve team playoff, now I have how many

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 1>teams now I have twenty maybe even more that have

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a chance to get into the playoffs. Maybe they get

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>in as the eleventh or twelfth seed, but they get

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>in and then they can share in that money the

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.239
<v Speaker 1>revenue that will come, you know as a result, because

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, the richer getting richer when it

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>comes to the Final four in college basketball. I don't

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>like gimmicky things, and hey, we got to have everybody

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. But I think, first of all, money

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>speaks like you got to start there. You know, these

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>owners lost a lot of money and they want to

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>get that money back somehow, some way. And I think

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're the commissioner of the NBA Adam Silver, all

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>ideas should be on the table, like how do we

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>generate more excitement and more revenue here? And I think

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that's why it's here to stay THEAMI club, Well, what

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>about a midseason tournament? Is well, that's coming. Isn't that

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>a line too far? Less tell you about cutting out

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the regular season that I think is on the way.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Wog Is hinted about this, and I think that we're

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>going to have a midseason tournament. I don't know what

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it means. I don't know what it would mean for

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the end of the regular season. I don't know what

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it would mean for the playoffs. But I do think

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to spice up the regular season because of load management.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look at the Marquee players. Now, you did

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>have injuries sort of, but I felt like guys were

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>staying out longer than they really needed to. Did Lebron

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 1>need to stay out that long? If it was a

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 1>playoff game, he would have been back. Anthony Davis, James Harden, Kyrie,

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant. These are the Marquis players on the Marquee teams,

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and they didn't play no kawai that used to be.

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It was no big deal. Hey, I might play sixty

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>two games here, sixty two out of eighty two, and

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we're like, oh yeah, okay, load management. But if I'm

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>a fan, I want to know when I tune in?

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Am I what am I seeing when I tune in?

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And this is the dangerous part I think for the NBA,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>because I've tuned in before. First of all, I don't

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>recognize the uniforms. And then second of all, I go, okay, wait, okay,

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>oh it's the Pelicans. Okay, no Zi okay, no Zion, okay,

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>no Lonzo Ball. All right? Now? Do you stay watching

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a game like that, let alone the Marquee games because

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>these players are going you know, why am I killing

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>myself here? We're gonna make the layoffs. I'm still gonna

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>get paid. I'm not gonna get fined for sitting out

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>because I have a high ankle spraying or I got

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>something wrong with my shoulder. Okay, but I think the

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>NBA has to you know, it's like baseball's regular season,

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Like do you tune how many times have you tuned

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>in recently? Where you go, I have to watch this game?

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not talking about your local team because they

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>used to have a game of the week and that

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>was on Saturday and it was a big deal. Now

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>every game is on And how many tune in factor

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>games do you have? Must see TV? It's really rare,

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>unless if it's a pitching matchup like shohey Otani. If

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>he was on at a time when I could watch,

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I would watch. But how many of those players are

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>there anymore? Now? You do have talent, there's a lot

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>of young talent, but I don't you need tune in

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>factor Like the NFL is fortunate now they're going to

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>expand eventually to eighteen games. Now it's seventeen now, just

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>so you know that they'll be going to eighteen games.

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>At what point do they water down their playoff system?

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Because they keep adding more playoff teams, more revenue. Everybody

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>seems to be happy. I don't know if they get

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to that point where, hey, it doesn't really matter if

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we win our division. Maybe it doesn't matter if we

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>have home field advantage. But I think all of these

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>sports really are. They tinker with the regular season. And

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>as much as I don't like the expansion of playoffs,

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I think college football needs it to add more teams

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in Therefore, the regular season is far more interesting in

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a bigger picture because if I lose two games, I

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>could still be the twelfth seed, eleventh seed, and the

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>amount of money that would be at stake, and you

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>could still have your secondary bowl games if you wanted to.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think that would be the way I see

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>college football going pretty soon. Yeah. Point, And like you said,

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>with college football last year, a team like Indiana would

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>have made an eight team playoff and they were threatening.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>They could play with the big guys, Coastal Carolina, whatever

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>you think of them, they would have had a shot.

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>They would have had That would have been a fascinating

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>game to tune into. It may not second half may

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>not have been great, but Coastal Carolina in a playoff,

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it would have been cool. You just want a chance,

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>like when I my You know, childhood is all about

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that Wow, that moment or you didn't expect that. Like

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>sports is about the unexpected. That's why Hollywood loves sports

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>because they write endings that Hollywood would never think of.

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>You just want a chance, you want to face somebody.

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>You never get that chance. Oh right, you might get

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>blown out. Maybe the end results aren't very pretty, but

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I think anybody who competes just once that chance. And

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>we love the underdog story. I mean, that's why we

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>love March Madness. Underdog story. And then we get to

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the final four, the Elite eight, and we say, all right, now,

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>let's kind of resume things. Let's get back to our

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>regular scheduled program where we have the blue bloods in here.

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But when you get that outlier, that's what's fun. When

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>you get introduced to a player that you wouldn't normally

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:26.319
<v Speaker 1>get introduced too, that's fun. And I think sometimes that's

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>lost on us when it comes to sports. New Yeah.

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Point it's funny though, because even though other teams have

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a chance, small teams have a chance, we always say

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>in the media and people on social media, that team

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>has no chance. Like I saw a lot of people

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in sports media and others saying the Lakers have no

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>chance to lose tun in a row. There's no chance

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers lose. They're facing Steph Curry tomorrow night. That

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>could one thing can happen. They're only a favorite by

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>four points. Now, I know they'd probably a big favorite

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>over the Spurs of the Grizzlies, but this is Steph

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Curry season and the Spurs of the Grizzlies if they

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>somehow get the Lakers in that next game. If the

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Lakers lose, that's their season that upset. There's there's always

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a chance that would scare the hell to me if

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I was a Laker fan. This program, brought to you

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Their mclovin. Okay, I have an MVP pole and I

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>have numbers to back it up real quick. Oh okay,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna give you these players their team's records

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>when they're on the bed when they don't play. The

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Warriors without Steph are two and seven Nicola Jokes played

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>every game for the Nuggets, so he's out of this poll.

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>The Knicks are undefeated when Julius Randall doesn't play, so

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>he's out of this poll. The seventy six Ers are

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>ten and eleven without Embiid, the Bucks are six and

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>five without Jannis. The Blazers have a winning record without Lillard,

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and the Clippers have a winning record without Kauhai. So

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>based on that stat is there a good argument to

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 1>say since the Warriors are two and seven without Steph

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and they have a winning record, a huge winning record

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>with him, he's the MVP. I wonder if the Warriors

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>had gotten to the sixth seed, maybe the seventh seed,

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>what would we look at Steph curry season differently because

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>they overachieved. We we love a story. This was a

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>great story with Steph Curry. And I know I've been

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a big proponent of him being the Most Valuable Player

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>this year, but I thought they were going to challenge

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>for the NBA title this year if everybody was healthy.

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I think because he's sort of on the fringe, you know,

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>with the play in tournament that it's all you know,

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>it kind of got there. It's gimmicky plus he's got

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple MVPs. You know, maybe that factors into But

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>if they had the sixth seed, I think I think

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the voters might look at Steph Curry differently. And it's

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>not an exact science. They don't give you anything. There's

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>no like, here are the rules, here's the christ When

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>you vote for the MVP, it's just you're what you

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>think MVP stands for. Is it the best player on

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the best team. Is the guy who has the best stats.

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it the best story of the guy who's on

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>a playoff team. Greek Freak was wonderful this year. If

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks had won the title last year, Greek Freak

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>might have been the MVP this year. I think that

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>it was probably held against him that well, yeah, he

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>was really good, but they bow out early. Okay, Joe

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>lmbid if he was healthy, if he played all okay,

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 1>but he didn't like give credit to Yo Kitchen. He

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>played every game this year, so that has to factor in.

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>We might not look at them as championship worthy, certainly

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>losing Jamal Murray, but he did everything you ask a

0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>great player to do. I know he's not exciting. I

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>know a crisp bounced pass, backdoor cut, you know, a

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>nice fifteen footer. Nobody cares about that. But that's it.

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>We shouldn't be honoring, you know, people with style points.

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>It's what do you do for you to your team?

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Murray goes down, so they lose an All Star

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and what did Denver do? They won nine to ten.

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>That says something about Yokich. And I thought he was

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be the MVP, you know, the second half

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of the season, even though I'd been pushing for Steph Curry. Yeah, pull,

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>if he's gonna win the MVP, we gotta get his

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>name down before the end of the day show. McLellan said, Nicola.

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>So is it Nicola or Nicola? And it Yokich or Joki?

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Because there's four different options you could have for his

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 1>name because you don't we don't know how to pronounce

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>either first name or last name. Well, if I just

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>go Joker, then I'm good. But it could be Yoker

0:15:51.440 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>because it's Yoki. Yeah, but that's like TIBs in Thibodeaux Nicolai, Nicolajoki, Nicola, Yokich.

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>There's four different options. I'm going Nicola Yoki. Let's call

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it officially sounds right. That's the one I'm saying. Yeah,

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>that sounds right, that's all. It's not Nicolai Nicolai, but

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>he's called Joker. Then Nikolas has a little Italian the

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>way you guys are saying. But it doesn't sound like Rikola.

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a hard Kola. Nicola, not Nicola, not

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Nikola Nicola. I think it's a hard Kola. Okay, Yes,

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>can I bash NBA MVP voters through the years and

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I hope this. I don't know the last time you voted. Well,

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>can I take a break here? Yeah? I have a

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 1>huge issue every year with the way they do this. Okay,

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>let me take a break. And then Mannix has a vote,

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>so I'll ask him later on who he voted for.

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Anybody want to guess Mannox probably voted Joker. He can't

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>vote for a Celtic. But I'd about to say Tatum

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>put in Larry Bird right in. Yeah, Yoker is a

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.919
<v Speaker 1>better nickname, just saying yoker, the yoker. Oh definitely, No, No,

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 1>just yoked, yoked, that's what you want to But he's

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>not yoked. That's the problem. All right, Let me take

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a break. Harry teen after the hour back after this

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I gotta make way for Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter,

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:53.120
<v Speaker 1>lead content strategist for the Monday Morning Quarterback. Albert, let

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.679
<v Speaker 1>me start with what we think is the truth that

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Adam Schefter reported on the night of the draft that

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, once out of Green Bay, told the team

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that we haven't heard anything. I don't know if it's

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>confirmed by anybody, but it's become fact. Has Aaron Rodgers?

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Has anybody confirmed that Aaron Rodgers said to the packers

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I won out. I mean, I can tell you that

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>they've had like numerous conversations over the last few months,

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>which has included trips to California. Matt Lafleur, Brian Goodacous,

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the people in charge in Green Bay to try to

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 1>eradicate the issue between the team and the player. And

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Aaron Rodgers, like I've said this to you

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>all along, I think Dan is that like we should

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.400
<v Speaker 1>listen to him. We should have listened to him in January.

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 1>We should listen to him, you know, when he's said,

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>when he's confirmed a lot of what he's said initially

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to Pat McAfee. You know. And I don't think anything

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that Aaron Rodgers does as a mistake. He's calculating. He's

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>very intelligent. He understands the media. Like I just I

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>failed to believe that any of this stuff is by accident.

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>And so, you know, the Packers are very well aware

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that they've got a situation on their hands that they've

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 1>got to find a way to fix. They've got a

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 1>team that's in a position to win right now. You

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>look at the age of their core too, a lot

0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of guys that are smack dab in the middle of

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 1>their prime on big contracts. You know, they're gonna do

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>everything they can to try to get Aaron Rodgers back

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 1>in house. There's an awareness there that Jordan loves not

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. And you know, I really think that,

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, like if you just watch the way the

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>packers of operator over the last three or four months.

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>There's no questions, a very serious problem there. And you know,

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.119
<v Speaker 1>I think a big part of it is what Aaron wants,

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 1>which you know, it looks a lot like I think

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 1>what Tom Brady has now in Tampa. But the trade discussions,

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't really feel like there's any firmness to the

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:53.640
<v Speaker 1>reporting on it. It's it's almost like we're wishful reporting here,

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>or we're wishful speculating. Well, you know, what would Denver

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 1>have to offer? What about the Raiders? Yeah, I don't

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>know what his market value is. I don't know if

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>they've made an offer. Has Denver called green Bay? Has

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you know the Raiders? Have they called green Bay? I'm

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 1>assuming everybody's called them now. You know, when I talked

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to Brian Goodacoons on draft weekend, you know, he said

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>that he had just gotten one call the day of

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the draft and that was it. And obviously John Lynch

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>acknowledged that the Niners made a phone call, So you

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>can put two and two together on that. But I mean,

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I would assume, at the very least, and I don't

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>know this for a fact, that the Broncos GM. George

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Payton picked up the phone and called that the Raiders GM.

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike Mayo picked up the phone and called, if you

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 1>see that Aaron Rodgers going to be interested in you

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 1>would be almost irresponsible not to make those phone calls.

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think the other thing you can look at here, Dan,

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of these teams have left their options open,

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean Denver and Carolina really like Justin Fields,

0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they wind up passing on him, their options are open

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to go and get veteran quarterback. We see, you know, Miami,

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I think still sitting out there with a lot of capital,

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think maybe they'd be more in the Deshaun

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Watson sweepstakes than the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes, if these sweepstakes

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>ever happened, you know. But there are, you know a

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 1>number of teams out there that have left their options open,

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know, at this point, like they I think

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the Aaron Rodgers thing is where the Deshaun Watson thing

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>was three months ago, where back then Nick Assario was

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>getting phone calls and giving everybody a flat. Now the

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Packers response to anyone calling has been We're not trading

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. We'll see if that changes over Well, that's

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a dangerous game that some of these teams played on

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>draft night that you love that quarterback, it's a young quarterback,

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and you decide that, hey, we're not going to take

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.719
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback that we think could be our future because

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.640
<v Speaker 1>we might be in the in the chase for Aaron Rodgers.

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you're saying. I don't know if it's

0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 1>just that. I mean, like, look for both Denver and Carolina,

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>it was literally the top defensive player in the draft

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.399
<v Speaker 1>in their opinion J C. Horn for Carolina, Patrick's for

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Denver versus going all in on Justin Fields And if

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 1>you take Justin Fields, then you're tied to him, like

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 1>your job security, if your Matt Rule, your job security,

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're Vic Fangio and George Peyton, it ties directly

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to those guy, to that guy if you draft him

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 1>that high. But I do think that a piece of

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it for both those teams was maintaining flexibility at the

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>quarterback position, knowing how quickly things have changed at that

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>position over the last six months. And I think there's

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>an acknowledgement there too, Dan, and this is league wide.

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you talk to any general manager, they'll

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge this. The like the way quarterbacks are being handled

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>is starting to change. And I think a huge part

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>of that goes back to Tom Brady and the way

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.199
<v Speaker 1>that the Bucks have built around Tom Brady and the

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:54.679
<v Speaker 1>way the Bucks have mortgaged contracts to win in a

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>certain window. Was Tom Brady and the fact that Tom

0:23:57.960 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Brady took the risk of changing teams so late and

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a career and it worked and they won the Super Bowl.

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, I think that there are some

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>teams that are looking at like the landscape right now

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and saying if these high end quarterbacks are

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:14.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be available, if Deshaun Watson or Aaron Rodgers

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 1>is going to be available over the next four or

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>five months, maybe we're best off taking a really good

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.679
<v Speaker 1>player at the top of the draft and keeping our

0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.639
<v Speaker 1>options open at the most important position. But if I said,

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>if you were going to I guess it's a hunch,

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and maybe that's not fair to you. Who's the quarterback

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Week one for the Packers? Who's the quarterback Week one

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>for the Texans? The quarterback Week one for the Packers,

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I believe is going to be Aaron Rodgers. I think

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.680
<v Speaker 1>they'll find a way to fix it. Now. It's gonna

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 1>be complicated because I think what Aaron wants, like the

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>ship sort of sailed on that, you know. I think

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>what Aaron wants is again like the Packers, to build

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 1>with the same sort of urgency that the Bucks have

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>built around Tom Brady, and you know, I think, yeah, like,

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>how do you do that now? Right? Like free agencies over?

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.119
<v Speaker 1>The draft's over, I mean, you're into You're into the

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 1>end of May. Like, I mean, maybe you can trade

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for Julio Jones, But what can you do other than

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>make promises to Aaron Rodgers that we're gonna take the

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.520
<v Speaker 1>way that we've done business for the last thirty years

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna throw it out starting in twenty twenty two.

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you get him back in? Maybe it is,

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, but I think that something like that has

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to happen. And then the Texans, like, I think the

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 1>likelihood right now is that Tyrod Taylor's the starting quarterback there.

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And I also think there's a likelihood that Deshaun Watson's

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 1>played his last game as a Texan. I think, whenever

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you have whenever we get clarity on the legal situation,

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in the league situation. You know, I do think Houston's

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna wind up moving him, and I'm not sure where,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I do know that the tone in

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>that building changed a whole bunch from January to the

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 1>end of March into April. You know, I talked on

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>my podcast to the GM there, Nick Kissario, and I

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>gave him, you know, a half dozen different chances to say,

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, Deshaun Watson is our quarterback, Deshaun Watson's going

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to be our starter, and he wouldn't do it. And

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that was a very marked change from where they had been,

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>even like three or four weeks before that. And so

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's a likelihood that Deshaun Watson gets

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.199
<v Speaker 1>moved whenever the league and the legal system give us

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:24.840
<v Speaker 1>clarity on of where he stands. He's Albert Breer's senior

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>NFL reporter, lead content strategist for the Monday Morning Quarterback.

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I know you mentioned this yesterday, which is part of

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the reason why I wanted to have you on that.

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, don't count out Miami with DeShawn Watson. It

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 1>feels like that has been the destination that he wants,

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's the quarterback they want, even though they have

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 1>two a tongue of iolois, So why do you think

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that that's still a possibility. He gives them a chance

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to get a lot better at the most important position

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>on the field without blowing up there what they've been

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>doing for the last three off seasons. I do know that,

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, Brian Flores is confident in the culture that

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>he's built and the ability to absorb, you know, a

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.719
<v Speaker 1>story like that. I think he feels like, you know,

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:14.479
<v Speaker 1>he's got the organization in a place where where they

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:16.919
<v Speaker 1>can do that. And if you look at the capitol

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.360
<v Speaker 1>they've got to offer Houston. Think about this, Dan, like

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Nick Assaria comes from New England. What college program is

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:27.119
<v Speaker 1>New England closest too closest to Alabama? Right, So you

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 1>would think that nickos Sario probably has good information on Tua.

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 1>So I think Tua in a Miami Houston deal could

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>wind up becoming a really interesting chip where maybe Nickossario

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>looks at and says, we get Tua in here. Now

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>we got Tuah and Davis Mills who we took in

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the third round, throw them into a competition behind Tyrod Taylor.

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we have something at quarterback, then that can that

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 1>they can you know, answer the question long term for us.

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And then Miami has a first round pick next year

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and two first round picks in twenty twenty three to offer,

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.679
<v Speaker 1>So you add all of it up, and with the

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>capital that they have, you could really offer something enticing

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.679
<v Speaker 1>to Houston without completely blowing up what you've been building

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 1>for the last three years. And when you're talking about

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>trading for a player like a Deshaun Watson or and

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers, like in most cases, you've got to completely

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>blow up your timeline, right Like you've got to all right, like,

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 1>we're getting rid of all of this draft capital. We're

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 1>going to build our team a different way. Miami doesn't

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>have to do that. Miami is set up in a

0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>way where they could go and get Deshaun Watson, give

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Houston something really good, and come out of it still

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:35.199
<v Speaker 1>sort of on the same timeline they've been building on

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:39.959
<v Speaker 1>for the last three years. Urban Meyer and his decisions

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>that he's made, whether it's bringing in the strength and

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 1>conditioning coach from Iowa and that didn't do well, drafting

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>a running back Travis Etn and maybe making him a

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver. Now you have Tim Tebow here, is there

0:28:55.000 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a perception of Urban Meyer that's forming in your opinion

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of just what he's doing as a NFL coach as

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 1>opposed to a college coach. So like, if you look

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 1>at his staff, there are a lot of NFL assistants, right,

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Like a lot of guys who are plainly NFL coaches. Now,

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>there are some guys like Charlie Strong on the staff

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that go back with him, but there's you know, Chris Ash,

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, But there are like guys that are you know,

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:27.600
<v Speaker 1>like Daryl Bevil, like Brian Schottenheimer, like Joe Cullen that

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 1>are strictly NFL assistants. I think what you look at

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 1>when you see some of the moves you're talking about

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 1>is maybe Urban is going to adjust some, but he's

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>also going to bring a lot of what he already

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>was at the college level with him. And I think

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the proper comparison for Travis Eten, if you want to

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>really look at it, is Percy Harvin at Florida or

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Samuelt Ohio State. Like That's what I think they

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>envisioned Travis em being. And it also explains why you

0:29:56.480 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>take a ten even though You've got James Robinson and

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and Carlos Hide at tailback already, so like you see

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 1>him in sort of that h back role. Then go

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:08.440
<v Speaker 1>over to Tebo. What's Tebow? Well, if you look at

0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 1>what Urban Meyer became the last few years at Ohio State,

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 1>really he's more of a culture coach than anything else.

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a program builder. And what do coaches like that

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>do Well, they value guys who can sell what they're

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 1>bringing into a program in the locker room. And Tim

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Tebow can do that over the next three or four

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>months for Urban Meyers. So maybe he makes it, maybe

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't, but at the very least he's got a

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 1>guy who has some name recognition in the locker room

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 1>who can help Urban try to sell the program that

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>he's bringing to the NFL. And so I think when

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you add those things up, Dan, I think you see,

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, While Urban is willing to bend some you know,

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and that shows in all the NFL assistance he's brought in,

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 1>he's also got his own ideas that have worked for

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>him for the last twenty years that are absolutely coming

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>with him. Why is Tebo so polarizing to people? It's

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>fascinating because I don't even know how to answer this, Dan,

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's weird, right, like, But I think a

0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>big part of it is he was on the front

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>end of playing quarterback in a different way, right And

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>he was sort of on the front end of the

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 1>NFL game changing to adjust to allow quarterbacks like this

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>to play in the league, you know. And around the

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>same time that, like a Cam Newton came into the NFL,

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a Robert Griffin the third came in the NFL. Now

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, like you're Tommy Frazier's and your

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Scott Frosts from thirty years ago, We're getting a shot

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in the league. And so you had this guy coming

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>from Florida who didn't really look like you play the

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>quarterback position in a conventional manner, but was such an

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 1>a plus guy from an intangible standpoint, and had such

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a large following. And there's the religious thing, and so

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I just think he became polarizing because he was so

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 1>popular with a certain group of people that automatically that's

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>going to make you sort of another group of people

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of skeptical of who you are as a player.

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>And I like, I probably just did a horrible job

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 1>of explaining that to you because there's so much there,

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. But I like it's weird, right, Like,

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you this. I went back and so I

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 1>talked with John Fox a couple days ago about about

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Tebow as a tight end, and he brought to light

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to me, said like, well, you know, we actually put

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 1>him in a game as a tight end. And I

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't even remember this at all. His second game in Denver,

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 1>John Fox's second game in Tember, they put him in

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the game at tight end and he played three plays

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and Fox he said to me, He's like, yeah, like,

0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, like he looked functional out there. So I

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 1>went back in my game pass and I looked it up.

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>You know. The first thing I noticed about it, Dan

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:47.719
<v Speaker 1>was was when he came on the field, the crowd

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 1>had been quiet, right, and it popped and it was unbelievable.

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And here's a guy coming into an emergency situation and

0:32:55.480 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 1>like he like he's wearing receiver gloves, you know, and

0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>he's wearing elbow pads. It's like like I almost forget

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>how how just insane that story was. So uh that's

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I've done a horrific job of answering

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that question for you. But it's hard to explain, right,

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Like you just know when you see it. But it's

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it's gimmicky. But then there's so many things in life

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>that are gimmicky. You know. I go, like this, uh,

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:27.959
<v Speaker 1>guy fighting Floyd Mayweather, you know, Jake Paul or whatever,

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul, Like he's nobody, but it's a gimmick and

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 1>he gets a chance to get in the ring with

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>one of the great fighters of all time and make

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:40.560
<v Speaker 1>millions of dollars. Uh, you know, we take chances, give chances,

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 1>we do favors. All of this is just the ninety

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 1>man roster. And I'm going if a guy is going

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to lose his roster spot on the ninety man roster,

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 1>then he deserves to have it in jeopardy if you

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Tebow comes in and takes it from you, right, And

0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's the I immediately when you when you

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>bought all that stuff up, immediately thought for some reason

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>about Chad Johnson racing the horse Um well, DK metcalf.

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:11.719
<v Speaker 1>They gave him a spot to run in that race. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 1>so I think it's some but you know what, like

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>like now that you mentioned it, it's like kind of

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess what we're talking about is seeing something that

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:23.359
<v Speaker 1>seems absurd on its face, right, And that whole thing

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 1>was absurd, Like you remember that Bears game, right, like

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>where like the ball goes out of back like and

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>she's like the weirdest stuff was happening and it was unexplainable,

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's sort of like backed up like this guy,

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Like there's just something intangibly intangible about this guy that

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>like you can't explain it, and it may look like crap,

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 1>but somehow, at the end of the day, at the

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 1>end of the game, you look up at the scoreboard

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 1>and his team has more points than the other team, right,

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And so it was just like, I guess that's what

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:56.319
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's like we we we all witnessed something

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.239
<v Speaker 1>that was so like just on its face absurd in

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 1>two thousand eleven, and maybe like in the back of

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 1>our heads, we're all wondering if some version of that

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:10.239
<v Speaker 1>could play out again ten years later in twenty twenty one.

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.399
<v Speaker 1>That's the best way to explain it, I guess, right.

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the guy almost the guy almost made the

0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>forty man roster with the Mets, and he hadn't played

0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 1>baseball since high school. I like, he's like the real

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 1>life Forrest Gump. But you know what I mean, that's

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>gimmicky as well. And they they used him and he

0:35:24.760 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>used them, so there was reciprocation there. And you know,

0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe Jacksonville's doing that that Hey, come on in. I mean,

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 1>imagine when he goes into a game in Jacksonville, in

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:39.560
<v Speaker 1>his hometown, he'll get a bigger roar than Trevor Lawrence will.

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's the other thing. Ninety minutes from Gainsville,

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, right, Like, I mean, like maybe this wouldn't

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 1>be a circus in Kansas City, but in Jacksonville, where

0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like everyone who covers the Gators can just get in

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 1>their car and drive over, right, Like, I mean, that's

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the thing about it. Like that's that to me is

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 1>what's so interesting about this calculation for urban Meyer is

0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:04.880
<v Speaker 1>like it'd be one thing if he was bringing in

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a guy who was maybe a good player for him

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.240
<v Speaker 1>at Florida Ohio State and it has like a nominal

0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 1>chance of making the roster, right, But the stuff that

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you're inviting in with tim which and again like this

0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 1>isn't even his fault. It just comes with him, like

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the circus that you're bringing with him, and then the

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 1>other players constantly having to answer questions about it. Like,

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the real risk here, and this part's interesting

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to me. I think the real risk here for Urban

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is does it chip away your credibility at all? Like

0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:39.439
<v Speaker 1>if you're bringing him in and you're asking the team

0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to accept him as an NFL tight end, right, and

0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:46.319
<v Speaker 1>it just looks awful and then you hang on like so, like,

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 1>let's say we get to training camp and it looks

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 1>terrible the first three days of camp, right, and remember

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 1>people like didn't look good in practice a quarterback in Denver.

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 1>So like let's say, like it just doesn't look right

0:36:58.120 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the first three or four days. Does Urban have to

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 1>get rid of him? Right? Because the guy's done on scholarship? Like,

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:08.759
<v Speaker 1>does does Urban have to get rid of him? Right? Like?

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Like so like at that point, like do you get

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.520
<v Speaker 1>rid of him? Or and if you hang onto him

0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:16.879
<v Speaker 1>for another couple of weeks, does that chip await your credibility?

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Because there are other guys trying to make the team there, right,

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that are looking at it and saying to themselves, well,

0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:26.600
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, like this guy, like what is this, like,

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 1>why is this happening over here? The guys? I mean,

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's not like he's twenty three years old. It's

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>not like you're projecting three years into the future, you

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like, like, what's the what's the

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 1>real upside here? The guy's not going to become Tony

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Gonzal It's at least I don't think so, you know.

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Like so that's the thing about it, Like that the

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:45.320
<v Speaker 1>credibility part of it. I think it's really interesting because

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Urban takes that stuff so seriously, you know what I mean,

0:37:49.040 --> 0:37:52.400
<v Speaker 1>like having credibility with his players, and that's why so

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 1>many of his guys believe in him so deeply, is

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>because he's brought such credibility to the table and everything

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 1>that he does. And that's what's so interesting. And you

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of wonder, like, what's the plan for him and

0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:06.319
<v Speaker 1>deserve and just have a blind spot for this guy,

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:08.759
<v Speaker 1>or is there something more to it? Great to talk

<v Speaker 1>three games, thirteen plate appearances, zero World Series appearances. Stat

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 1>of the day, stat of the day, that past out

0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of the day, stat of the day he comes that

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:44.320
<v Speaker 1>what stat of the day? Basically ten years in both places.

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Ten years with the Cardinals, he was a Hall of

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Famer after ten years, and then that second half was

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 1>he was just marginal average. Yet do we need a

0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:57.319
<v Speaker 1>sounder for sort of a negative stat of the day?

0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:59.319
<v Speaker 1>That one was a little bit of a downer, okay,

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and then to have on Burgundy comes swinging in with

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:05.439
<v Speaker 1>the stat of the day. Sound oh no, okay? Uh?

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:08.799
<v Speaker 1>The RBI for pool holes two thousand, one hundred and thirteenth,

0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 1>third most behind Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. How is that?

0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Seaton posit positive? Okay? The day? Okay, beast stat of

0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the day, stat of the day? Here comes that? What

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 1>stat of the day? Pooh Hols is now played in

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 1>two thousand, eight hundred eighty seven career games, the most

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of any active player in Major League Baseball. This is yeah,

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 1>all right, yeah, out of the day, day, start of

0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the day. But let's say we need one that's like

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a great stat of the day, okay, like a negative yeah,

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 1>negative negative day negative stat of the day, yes, polling. Shockingly,

0:41:57.760 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I worked up the first stat of the day of

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 1>this segment that was more negative against Pools, but it's

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 1>complimentary towards the Cardinal organization. Look what they did. They

0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 1>got the best out of him, and they were financially

0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>smart and said, look, we're not going to pay for

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:11.640
<v Speaker 1>a second half. I wondered if the Cardinals were going

0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to bring him back. I wonder if Tony LaRussa was

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 1>going to have him go to Chicago. The surprising aspect

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to the National League where you don't have

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the DH That was the one part of this that

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>surprised me that National League teams would have been interested

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>in pools. But you know, Dodgers got him. If he

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:33.760
<v Speaker 1>can provide a couple of moments for them, big moments

0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 1>facing left handed pitching, then you know, maybe this is

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 1>all worth it. And you know, maybe Albert just wants

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:42.120
<v Speaker 1>to let people know what he used to be, who

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:44.600
<v Speaker 1>he was. Maybe get a chance to play in the

0:42:44.600 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 1>postseason again. Yeah play you think poolholes anytime in the

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:49.640
<v Speaker 1>next few months. Gets up in the morning, he a

0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 1>little tire for the night before, head, has coffee and

0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:55.160
<v Speaker 1>starts driving to the Angels Ballpark. He's like, twenty minutes

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:58.800
<v Speaker 1>towards Eiesel barg God damn it, I've done that with

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 1>ESPN when I when I'd be like, I'm going towards

0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the highway and all of a sudden, I'm going, oh

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:07.440

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:24.360
<v Speaker 1>If it opened yesterday, that might have been a little

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 1>bit better for Steph Curry. If it ended at like

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it would even help Tomorrow night at eleven
