Speaker 1: The voting good turnouts so far. The early returns pretty

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: good on the Benny Awards, which are on Sunday night,

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: and we've got a lot a lot going on. There's

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: the online vote on x for the social media contributor

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: to the other There's so many people that send random

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: messages to the show that are part of the show.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: That way that.

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: We had like over fifty people. I believe that we're

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: in the opening bracket. It's like the NCAA tournament here.

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: We had a lot of names, a lot of names

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: in there in the opening round and we're gonna have

21
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: multiple rounds.

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: So I know on the weekends, you know some of

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: you listen.

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: To the podcasts, but you're gonna have to pay attention

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: on the weekends and online and vote.

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: And we'll get the rundown up. I have not gotten that.

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Up at this point. But the final a couple of rounds.

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: It will be two more rounds of voting, and so

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: just pay attention to that. In fact, right now, if

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: you're listening live, I believe there's eight eight or so

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: minutes something like that to vote to get your final

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: votes in. And there's there's some of the categories on

33
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: these social media opening rounds, social media Benny Award ballot,

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of them. They are very close.

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: I could go either way, Like the d D bracket

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: I believe with that's the one with Jill in Minnesota,

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: spos Weed, Ozzie Waz and ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. That is

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: separated by just a few percentage points, as is the

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: E block which has Bozo the District Attorney, o Cho Texto,

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Mister Irrigation and the burner account in it.

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: So that's close.

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: Some of the other ones are are really wide open

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: or not wide open.

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: I should say the H block close.

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: That's got big names like Chris and de moin far out,

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: David Ohio, not a burner, Rob the Goat, man, that's

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: a close one. The J Block with Justin in Cincinnati

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and Andrea and moving Man, Matt and Andy Lionel Lakes.

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: So those are some of the names out there. So

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: check that out your few minutes left. So while I'm

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: yapping here, you go check that out and it'll change

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: your life in amazing ways. Well not really, but it's

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: just the opening round and in order to win, I'm

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: told you actually have to win the opening round to

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: win the other two rounds.

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: I believe it's two other rounds after this. I think

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: I did the math.

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: I probably screwed that up, but check it out, all right,

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: So I lead this out. That's on X by the way,

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: at Ben if you want to vote again literally just

61
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, and if you're listening to the podcast.

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: You're cooked.

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from the Twin Cities, the Vikings

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: have added a fun sized quarterback to their roster. Yes,

65
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: so I assume you've heard by now, perhaps not. We

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: talked about this in a previous episode that this was

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: the most likely outcome. The most likely outcome a rumor

68
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: is just a fact that has yet to be discovered.

69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: So Kyler Murray, who visited the Vikings.

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: He did some zoom meetings, but he visited the Vikings

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: in person, boots on the ground, boots on the ground,

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: and he signed. So he visited the Vikings facility there

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: and he had a juicy lucy it was a kid size.

74
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 3: And then he signed a one year contract.

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: So this came one day after he was fired, well

76
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: laid off by the Cardinals because he was already owed

77
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: thirty seven million in guaranteed salary for the upcoming season

78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: by Arizona.

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray signed.

80
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: For the veteran minimum, which is one point three men.

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: But how do you pay your bills on one point

82
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: three million? God bless them, God bless them. So it's

83
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: been described as a no risk audition for the Vikings,

84
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: a win win.

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray gave a small quote, can't give a.

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Big one, said, every year to me is a go

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: out there and prove it. Yere okay, Well, so unfortunate

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: because he doesn't prove anything all these years other than

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: he's not that good. So that's that is a good

90
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: jumping off point. Though let us discuss the question how

91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: big of an opportunity is this for Kyler Murray and

92
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings. So I've got cheesecake Factory, Unicorn Pool, and

93
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: the Boogie Woogie, and we'll put all these together and

94
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna.

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: Make some smooth talk, all right.

96
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: So A Kyler has been able to horn swath his

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: way in the NFL. Should not have been the number

98
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: one pick. I think he's proven that with his play

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't have been the number one pick. The

100
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals are run by a bunch of dumbos, and they

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: made him the number one pick, and he's failed. He's

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: failed in Arizona, and now he goes to Minnesota. To me,

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: it's enormous for the Vikings because they've completely botched this

104
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy thing of a jig. McCarthy looked dazed and

105
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: confused out there, look like a guy that should be

106
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: selling insurance somewhere now playing quarterback in the NFL.

107
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: And that was after a red shirt year.

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: And you all told me, you tell me every year

109
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: they players who are quarterbacks need to sit a year,

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: they need to learn.

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: You tell me that every year.

112
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: And JJ McCarthy sat there, he was heard he learned

113
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the playbook, learned by just being around the team, and

114
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: it looked like he had never ever played football before,

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: like he won a raffle and it's say, hey, you

116
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: want to come out, you want to play, would you

117
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: like to play for the for the team, And they say, okay,

118
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: I'll come play for the team. Yeah, it's wild, it's

119
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: absolutely So the Vikings are desperate.

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: They need to hit on a quarterback. Now, do I

121
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,119
Speaker 3: think Kyler's gonna be the one? No, But the answer

122
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: they needed, yeah, that wasn't the question.

123
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: The question was how big an opportunity is this for

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Vikings? What's bigger for the Vikings?

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: And the problem is Kyler Murray. That's the problem, right.

126
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: You got to get him the booster seat. Get him

127
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: the booster seat there so we can see over the

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: offensive line. And this is a guy, the only player

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: in NFL history, the only one party of one who

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: needed a homework clause, needed a homework clause in his contract. Yeah, yeah,

131
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: just so we watched tape. He's more interested in call

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: of duty than game film. And call of duty is

133
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: a great game. I don't blame him by that. Video

134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: game addiction is a hell of a drug. So alligator

135
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: arms Murray, who isn't hardwired for greatness, He's not. He's

136
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: hardwired for a headset and oystick. He started wired for that.

137
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: And for the Vikings, it's it's say, well, we're famished

138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: now right, we're walking. It's like you walk into the

139
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: cheesecake factory and you're really hungry and they order.

140
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: Somebody that you didn't order it, that somebody ordered it

141
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: for you.

142
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: They ordered you grill the sparagus off the Skinny Delicious

143
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: menu and it just doesn't hit the spot. I don't

144
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: know who wants to grill the sparagus rather vomit in

145
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: my mouth and eat that disgusting that doesn't hit the spot.

146
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: And so you're still hungry, and you wasted some money

147
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: and said, wow, this is not much money.

148
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: Kyler's getting the minimum.

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay, one point three million in the NFL world is

150
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: not that much money. However, time is money and they're

151
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: wasting time. And that's not the franchise savior. The Viking

152
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be the worst team in the NFL. No,

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: they'll be competitive. They have good players on the team,

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: and Kyler usually gets off to a good start. The

155
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: problem is he can't handle the entire season, and that's

156
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: the issue. Murray will be fine until the new call

157
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: of duty drops and then he'll he'll have to go

158
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: to the bench and they'll have to put McCarthy or

159
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: somebody else in at that particular point. That's the curveball.

160
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: That's the curveball with the player.

161
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: Now flipping the page, but not far.

162
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: The Vikings are positioning this Kyler Murray audition. They're setting

163
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: this up for a stiff quarterback competition for the incumbent

164
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, and they'll.

165
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: Duke it out for the starting job.

166
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: Here is the little fella alligator Arms Murray, who would

167
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: like you to know that he does he think of

168
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: himself as a backup or does he think of himself

169
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: as a starter?

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: Let's find out.

171
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 4: Do you view this as as you're coming in as

172
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: the starting quarterback?

173
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: Do you view this as a competition?

174
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, Like I said, I'm just great for the opportunity,

175
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: grateful for the opportunity. You know, I look forward to

176
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: coming in and compete and getting to learn the offense,

177
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: getting to be with coach O'Connell. Obviously he's had a

178
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: lot of success and again I'm just looking for looking

179
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 5: forward to the opportunity to come in here and competing.

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: All right, So he didn't answer the question, but he

181
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't assign with the Vikings unless they had given him

182
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: the wink wink that he was going to start. So

183
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the question, does this story about the quarterback competition between

184
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy in.

185
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: Minnesota hold water? So I've already shown you I don't

186
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: have a good poker face.

187
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: To me, this whole thing feels like one of those

188
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: inflatable backyard kiddie pools, the spray and splash unicorn pool.

189
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: It looks colorful, exciting.

190
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: However, there's a slow leak in the bottom and by

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: noon the kiddos are sitting in mud and the unicorns

192
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: all deflated.

193
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's not pretend here.

194
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: McCarthy last year was the second worst quarterback in the

195
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: NFL And the only reason he wasn't the worst is

196
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: because Shooter Sanders sucked more. Shooter Sanders Bluemore in Cleveland.

197
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: And that's the only reason I'm unqualified quarterbacks. He was

198
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: the only one worse Shader Sanders. And that's mind you

199
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: with a roster that if you compare the Browns roster

200
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland roster, it's a roster that's basically rodeo,

201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: drive worthy, veteran talent, elite playmakers at the skill positions,

202
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: good coaching, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. So

203
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: now it's flip the coin. You got Kyler Murray who

204
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: in Arizona? That relationship was so toxic? How toxic was

205
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: it was so toxic that the cardinals are eating? How

206
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: much money? We told you the number. It's amazing, almost

207
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: thirty seven million. Third, I'm about thirty seven million those

208
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: bozos are eating just to move out of the apartment,

209
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: break the lease. Thirty seven million. That's the NFL's version

210
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: of leaving all your clothes, all your furniture behind after

211
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: a divorce.

212
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: And this competition is.

213
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: Like a having Kyler Murray on one side and JJ

214
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy the other. It's like going to watch a race

215
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: at Churchill Downs. You've got a on one side, you've

216
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: got a three legged Clydesdale and on the other side

217
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: you've got a miniature pony. That's what you got. Right now,

218
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: Kyler Murry is gonna start. He'd really have to f

219
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: this up. Like if he hurt his thumb on the joystick,

220
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: that might affect him.

221
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: He might not be able to play.

222
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, he could get some kind of hearing loss

223
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: from the headset being turned too high on the twitch

224
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: stream while he's gaming.

225
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: That's possible. All those things are possible, for sure, But

226
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: in reality, Minnesota doesn't really want a competition.

227
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: They want an exit strategy from JJ McCarthy.

228
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: I might as well trade him.

229
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: See if somebody's dumb enough to take him, You're not

230
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna get much for him. But he can't play, so

231
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: who cares. See if some moron out there find the

232
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: greater fool to take him. But in the NFL, I

233
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: have learned over the years, and I think you know

234
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: this from paying attention as well. You don't need to

235
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: tell you that once the bubble of trust pops, once

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: that bubble of trust pops at quarterback, you don't patch

237
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: it up.

238
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: You know, you replace it. And that's what's gonna happen now.

239
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: The last word here, speaking of Bravado, we going now

240
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: to San Francisco, where the forty nine ers brought out

241
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: the welcome wagon for their newest pass catcher, Mike Evans,

242
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: mister Tampa Bay buccaneer no more said, I'm out of here.

243
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to play with you bums, Todd bowls,

244
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: you coach at Baker Mayfield, I'm out of here.

245
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: So he was welcome to the to the Bay area.

246
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: Evans specifically sighted and really slabbered all over, slabber, chop stopper,

247
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: slap slopper, all over. Coach Kyle Shanahan talked about how

248
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: George Kittle had recruited him and all this and we

249
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: get to play alongside Brock Purty. Those were made factors

250
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: in his decision to leave Tampa Bay which again is

251
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: a vote of no confidence for Todd Bowles and Baker Mayfield.

252
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: Like we told you, he suck it up to the

253
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: coach in the quarterback. He left a coach and a

254
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: quarterback because he doesn't think those guys are any good Olthwise,

255
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: he would have stayed in Tampa, all right.

256
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: And he also gave us.

257
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: The money quote Mike Evans, and I don't know if you

258
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: saw this or that, perhaps not, Mike Evans said in

259
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: his introductory press conference quote I feel like they meaning

260
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers were one piece away and I'm

261
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: that piece close.

262
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: Quote.

263
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: Question, what is the word We know there's a swell

264
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: head here, but what is the word for Mike Evans

265
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: saying that he is the missing piece for the.

266
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 3: Forty nine ers.

267
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: So my word is sign as in the football version

268
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: of walking around with a kick me sign on it

269
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: tape to your back and just asking the bots and

270
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: the algorithm to start running.

271
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: Get that running start.

272
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: And now we do this boogie woogie dance every year,

273
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: and I'm here for it. I'm not against the boogie

274
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: woogie dance. I'll tear up the dance floor. I'm not

275
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: against a veteran will show up. It happens every year.

276
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: Look it up. I'm not making up.

277
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Every year there's a veteran that shows up and suddenly

278
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: he says, hey, I'm the final piece. I've got the

279
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: last piece to the jigsaw puzzle. I've got it as

280
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: if the forty nine ers were just wandering through blindly

281
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: the wilderness with no GPS, no cell phone reception, if

282
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: they had a GPS and saying, you know what we.

283
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: Need as the forty nine ers, we need a.

284
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: Past his prime wide receiver who occasionally plays well, but

285
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the time is hurt and runs routes

286
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: or roots like he's buffering.

287
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: So hey, I'm here for Evans is a hype man. Good.

288
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: You know he's like, you go to the club, the

289
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: DJ there, make some nose, put your hands in the air. Yeah,

290
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: who put your hands in the air everywhere? Now if

291
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: it works, Oh, he's a prophet, he's a profit.

292
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: Got it done. He got it done.

293
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: If not, he's volunteering to be the main character in

294
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: everyone else's highlight reel.

295
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: And the forty nine.

296
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: Ers they got a hope that that electrical substation next

297
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: to the practice field can generate about thirty five extra points.

298
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: With Mike Evans as Ernesto in the Bay and Terry

299
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: in England.

300
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: And all these other guys are big forty nine er

301
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: fans know that gap. That's the gap. They lost by

302
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: thirty five points against the Seahawks and the playoffs and

303
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: then the Rams went out, and you know, we're blow

304
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: for blow with Seattle. But that's that's how far the

305
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: gap is for the for the forty nine ers.

326
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: So our lead story, let's go to pro Bouncy Ball

327
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: and another record has fallen. Remember a couple of years

328
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: ago they were tearing down all the statues in America. Well,

329
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: another record in the NBA gone. Our lead from Oklahoma City,

330
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: although I don't know that this is a memorable record.

331
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: Most people didn't know about it until a couple of

332
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 3: days ago.

333
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the reigning MVP, a former Clipper, Shay Jogis

334
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: Alexander had thirty five points. He took eighteen shots, made

335
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: thirteen of them. I'm told that's pretty good. Six rebounds

336
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: and nine assists and apartures to the para tree, the

337
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: thunder get past the Boston Celtics. That's not the story, though,

338
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: that's not the story. What is the story.

339
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: I'll tell you the story. I'll tell you a story.

340
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: So if you missed it, SGA wrote his name in

341
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: the record book. Yeah, he had a mid range jumper

342
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: that's not sexy in the third quarter and that basket

343
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: with that basket, Jogis Alexander, a proud Canadian lad procured

344
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: is one hundred and twenty seventh consecutive twenty point game,

345
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: passing Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak in NBA history.

346
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: The iconic Wilt Chamberlain the only person to score one

347
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: hundred points in a game. And when Wilt scored one hundred,

348
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna blow you away. You probably don't know this,

349
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: but they were not in the sixers or the worst.

350
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: They were not intentionally fouling. They were not in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

351
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: They were not intentionally fouling. So he could get to

352
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: one hundred points. Oh my god, you're telling me that

353
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: they didn't know. He didn't get bogged down by that anyway.

354
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: So that's the story SGA passing Wilt Chamberlain and all

355
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: that good jumping off points. So let us discuss the

356
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: question where does SGA passing Wilt Chamberlain's streak of twenty

357
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: point games one hundred and twenty seven now consecutive. Where

358
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: does that fall on the scale of impressive, the SOI

359
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: the scale of impressive. So my views on this, I've

360
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: got pineapple, fruit Smoothie, North Pole and Disney Cruise, and

361
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we are

362
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: going to trade punches, is what we're gonna do.

363
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: We'll drop some knowledge. We'll drop some knowledge on you

364
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: as well. So, first of all, on the malor.

365
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: Si scale of impressive, the malor SOI scale of impressive

366
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: one to ten. Drum roll, Please, what do you think

367
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna belly ache about this? You think

368
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna complain about this? Have a bad attitude? You think, No,

369
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: here we go.

370
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm at a five. I am at a five five

371
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: five five.

372
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: That's where I am right there, right in the middle seat.

373
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be in the middle seat. Got fat

374
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: guy on one side, got a smelly person on the other.

375
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Now five is like pretty neat. Wake me up when

376
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: something really crazy happens. That's where I am before the

377
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: SGA marching and chowders society starts coming at me with

378
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: pitchforks and torches. Let's break down. I'm gonna break out

379
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: the Malor measuring tape. I'm gonna measure this all right,

380
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: getting the limelight. Here're gonna use the Malor measuring tape.

381
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: So context does matter, always has, always will. Wilt Chamberlain

382
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: streak from the early nineteen sixties when they were playing

383
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't basketball, was the Demolition Derby with sneakers. It

384
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: is the Stone Age. The Big Dipper average I think

385
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: it was forty nine points. I believe during his stretch

386
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty six consecutive games with twenty

387
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: or more points, he averaged forty nine points forty nine

388
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: the Big Dipper. With those forty nine points that he

389
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: was essentially running a refinery with points, and SGA's averaged

390
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: a respectable thirty two point five points per game. But

391
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: to give you an idea, how much better Wilt Chamberlain was.

392
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: He was thirty three point seven percent better in terms

393
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: of points in his streak than Will Then SGA wasn't

394
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: his and you know she's this is a good player.

395
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: He's got that clipper pedigree, smooth operator. Remember the late

396
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: great Jerry West. You know he knew, he said, this

397
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be special. And Jerry got a few of them, right,

398
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: got Kobe, Bryan White and a few other guys. But

399
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: that was one of the last great player that Jerry

400
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: West saw that said this guy's going to be good

401
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: was SGA. And then Kawhi Leonard got a bug up

402
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: his ass and wanted Paul George and so something the

403
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: thunder got SGAU. However, in the modern NBA, let's get

404
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: break this down more so, SGA breaks Wilt Chamberlain's streak

405
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: of consecutive twenty point games. In the modern NBA, you've

406
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: got it's like a buffet. You've got spacing everywhere, a

407
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: lot of spacing. You've got whistle happy referees, the foul

408
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: merchant SGA, the analytics whispering sweet nothings in the coaches years.

409
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: You've got that.

410
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: You toss in again the diet of foul shots, the

411
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: free throws as they're called, and you've got this stat

412
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: pineapple fruit smoothie. And Will Chamberlain did this without the

413
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: three point line, without the three point line, he'd make any.

414
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: Three point shots.

415
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: You realize Wil Chamberlain never made a three point shot

416
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: in his entire career because they didn't.

417
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: Have it, didn't have load management, didn't believe in load management.

418
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: Those guys thought. These guys, they one a bunch of wooses.

419
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: And while vacuuming up rebounds like he was a shot back.

420
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: And so just to put a bow on this, SGA,

421
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: shade jogis Alexander, his streak is shiny. Congratulations a nice

422
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: Canadian lad, Wilt Chamberlain. What he did was seismic. You

423
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: needed a Richter scale to see what Wilt Chamberlain did.

424
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: So I will put this in the basket for SGA

425
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: respectable historically light, historically light historically all right. Now, secondly

426
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: to Miami we Go and more reverberation from the BAM

427
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: out of bio Fugaysey eighty three points circus the other

428
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: night in South Florida.

429
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: Now the dim witted are very upset. The dim witted.

430
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 7: I can't believe that people are questioningly integrity a bomb

431
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 7: out of Bio while the heat were up by twenty

432
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 7: five points, intentionally foiling so Bam could take more shots.

433
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: So funny, God bless you.

434
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: I saw Mike Breen carrying the water for the NBA,

435
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: I would too, Dude, he's got a great job. Mike

436
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Bring's got a great job. Good for him. Protect that job.

437
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: Whatever the pr people from the NBA want you to repeat, Mike.

438
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: You do it. You absolutely do it.

439
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: See, I'm only going to remember Mike Breen one of

440
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: his early jobs in radio, he was a sidekick for

441
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: don Imus and then he's gone on obviously had a

442
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: great career as a broadcaster.

443
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: But he was absolutely just licking the toes of.

444
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: NBA people who because the NBA as a whole not

445
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: very happy that people are calling out this historical moment,

446
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: and they're right, by the way, they really are bothered that.

447
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: This is a no brainer.

448
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Like sometimes people just argue to argue, but this is

449
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: so phony, it's so fake. It's like going to Universal

450
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: Studios and taking the tour and you go through the

451
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: New York backdrop.

452
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: And then you're like, oh man, this is great.

453
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: And then you get out you walk around, You're like,

454
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: well that's just some crappy plywood and some paint and

455
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: some glass, Like what is that anyway? So some new

456
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: stuff out for this? Now, what did Bam out of

457
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: bio do Bam bam for an encore? The Bucks and

458
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: Heat played on Thursday night, So Bam probably went out

459
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: and scored like sixty fair number of points. He's eighty

460
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: three not gonna be as good in the next game.

461
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: So sixty, no, no, not sixty. How about fifty did

462
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: he get? He had to get fifty at least fifty.

463
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Think you don't go from eighty three?

464
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: No, all right? How about forty? Can I hear forty? No?

465
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: All right?

466
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: Definitely thirty Bam out of row he had twenty one points.

467
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: He went from eighty three points to twenty one so

468
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: good did have eight rebounds?

469
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: Who cares? Miami beat the lov.

470
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks And that's not the story. The story here

471
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: is his coach who gave a quote prior.

472
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: To the game that has gone viral. Here that he coached.

473
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: Eric Spolstra was asked about leaving Bam out of bio

474
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: in Now, remember this goes against normal over the years,

475
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: sports decorum and sportsmanship.

476
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: And you're not supposed to do that. And what do

477
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: you doing? Well, you laugh at me, and it was like, no,

478
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: it was just me day. It was like a game

479
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: at the YMCA is so stupid.

480
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: And anyway, Spolster was asked about that, whether or not

481
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: I felt bad or anything like, well, let's see what

482
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: what he said.

483
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: Let's go to the audio tape. I apologize to absolutely

484
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: no one, wow, period. Wow.

485
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: And you know, going into the game, you know it's

486
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: it's a Tuesday night game against a team, whether they're

487
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 4: not playing for anything, whether organization is trying to lose.

488
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 4: We've already lost a game, you know, in that kind

489
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: of situation, we have players that are sitting out. And

490
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 4: I spoke to Bam about I want, as our best

491
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 4: player and team captain for him to be locked in

492
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 4: and ready, and he sure was.

493
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 3: That's so good. That's it. That's the beginning. That's the

494
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: money quote.

495
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: I apologize to absolutely no one period.

496
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into this the question.

497
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: As you heard, he coached Eric spolsk were refusing, refusing

498
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: to apologize for leaving Bam out of Bio in a

499
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: game where they were clearly just stat padding to get

500
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: to eighty three points, breaking all kinds of NBA decorum.

501
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: So the question on this one is where are you

502
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: at on this?

503
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 6: Like?

504
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: Where are you at on the Heat coach refusing to apologize?

505
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: All right?

506
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: So I actually agree with Eric Spolstra, And I'm reminded,

507
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: if you've been with the show a long time, my favorite,

508
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: Eric Spolster drop and we used to play this back.

509
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: We play drops a lot. But there was a the.

510
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: Miami Heat were playing the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA

511
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: Finals and the Mavericks had him on the ropes and

512
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: they were going back to Dallas, and then the last

513
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: couple of games I remember correctly as I remember, the

514
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: last couple of games were in Dallas and the Heat

515
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: had lost the game at home in Miami, and the

516
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: reporter asked Eric Spolstra, like, you know, what are you

517
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: concerned about this or something like that, and Spolster said,

518
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't have it any other way. They were on the

519
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: brink of elimination going into a road environment.

520
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: There it is right there. That's it. They play again.

521
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: Wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, it's so good.

522
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: It was so hilarious, like, yeah, your team's about to

523
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: be eliminated. You're playing like ass as cam Ward would say,

524
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: and you're going to Dallas your.

525
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: Thoughts coach, wouldn't have it any other way.

526
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Okay, but now we can. Let's try to save this one.

527
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: I know we don't know if to do that, but

528
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: let's try to save this one. I apologize to absolutely

529
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: no one period. I just want that part. That is

530
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: what we call in the business. And evergreen drop. I'm

531
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: gonna take you behind the curtain here into the factory

532
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: how we make the sausage. So I love evergreen drops

533
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: and I love to play them out of context. Now,

534
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: my all time favorite evergreen drop is the old hockey

535
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: coach Torts, who said, well that's not Torts, but he said,

536
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: we sucked at a time you cannot suck, because that

537
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: is an evergreen drop, and you can play that at

538
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: any point about anyone, and it's just golden. I love

539
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: my evergreen drops, and that you know we sucked at

540
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: a time you cannot suck. That is an all time

541
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: great one. My favorite evergreen rant is a rather non

542
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: descript manager who very briefly managed the Seattle Mariners in

543
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: that thirty year period where they were an embarrassment in baseball.

544
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: And so he John McClaren is the guy's name, and

545
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: he went on and these guys are busting their ass,

546
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of losing. And you know, it

547
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: was great. It was ever great. And it doesn't even

548
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: he didn't even play like baseball. You play for football

549
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: or basketball.

550
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: Those are the kind of things that I love.

551
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: So we can add now Eric Spols to my little

552
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: collection of these evergreen drops and so things sucked and

553
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: we sucked at a time that you can't suck.

554
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's torts. See that's great because you can play

555
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: that for enemy anytime a team loses. Hey tarts your

556
00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: thoughts towarts.

557
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: You sucked, and we sucked at a time that you

558
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: can't suck. Perfect and it's accurate and it's accurate. And

559
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: then that John McLaren one is just great.

560
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: Also because that.

561
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: Was that was just a random night in you know,

562
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: years ago, probably fifteen years ago, and he just went

563
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: on this epic.

564
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 3: Rant and it was great.

565
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, to answer the question where are you

566
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: at on Eric Spols refusing to apologize for leaving Bam

567
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: out of Bay. I wain into clearly stat pad I

568
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: should agree with him. You should not apologize. Don't apologize

569
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: if you're a basketball coach. Here's why apologies in sports

570
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: are like those you know, those little umbrellas you get

571
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: a cocktail, you go out on Friday or sad you

572
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: get a cocktail, those decorative umbrellas. They're meaningless and they're

573
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: mostly there so someone eventually can get drunker and then

574
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: poke poke you in the eye with them later. Right,

575
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: So the apology, it's not forgiveness. No one thinks it's forgiveness.

576
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: It's evidence. It's exhibit exhibit A in the court of

577
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: public opinion, ladies and gentlemen of social media.

578
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: The defendant has confessed.

579
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: Now that said, let's not pretend that this was some

580
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: noble basketball moment. You just took a harpoon gun to

581
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: what had been heat culture, pat Riley's gospel, discipline, play

582
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: the game the right way, professional pride, all that went

583
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: out the window. All of those things went out the

584
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: window that night, all of it. Instead, we've got run

585
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: of the mill. I say, run the mill stat Paddy.

586
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: But this was really next level. This is like the

587
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: kid and I was the same way when I was

588
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: like twelve years old. Thirteen years old, went out Halloween

589
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: with my buddies and we had pillowcases filled with candy, right,

590
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: filled with candy.

591
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: We just loved it.

592
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 7: It was great.

593
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: Halloween's about getting like a little bag of candy, not

594
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: abou getting a pillowcase of candy. So we actually got

595
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: a text on this bam out of biostory, and the

596
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: text came from the North Pole. And it turns out

597
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: that Santa has played Eric Spolster and bam Addebayo on

598
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: the Naughty List well deserved. And this is a blemish.

599
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Is it true that the Heat are replacing the mascot

600
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: Bernie the mascot with the Frito Bandito because the box

601
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: score was pure junk food, empty calories. Stay tuned, developing hot.

602
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: Dot dot dot. It may happen overnight.

603
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: Now final fun, Let's go over to the NFL where

604
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: we'll go to San Francisco where the forty nine ers

605
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: defensive end Bryce Huff said bye bye. He announced his

606
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: retirement from the NFL in a social media post, Walking

607
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Away from the game after just six years in the NFL.

608
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Huff also played briefly with the Jets, more associated with

609
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles, was part of one of their championship teams

610
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: there in Philadelphia. And now he is leaving days before,

611
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: days before.

612
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: His twenty eighth birthday.

613
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: Now, looking at the headlines here, some people are acting

614
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: like Bryce Huff's retirement at age two eight is some

615
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: indictment of the league, Like here we go, here we go.

616
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Need retires because football is not safe and it's not right,

617
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: right question, Bryce hoff, random NFL player retiring from the

618
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Niners just before his birthday where he's turning twenty eight.

619
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Is this a referendum on the NFL lifestyle?

620
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: All right? So give me a break here.

621
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: Every time one of these guys retire, and there's every

622
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, thirty teams, there's over fifty players

623
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: on every team, and the same storyline pops up. Oh

624
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: my god, it's the Satanic panic all over again.

625
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 3: All right, all over again.

626
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: Everyone's clutching their parls like the NFL is working in

627
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: a coal mine, and people are very worried about the game.

628
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: Just not safe enough. Let's go to flag football. What

629
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: do you say?

630
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: Too vital, too foley far young people, and a total

631
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: rubbish in this regardless, total rubbish. It is a referendum

632
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: on one thing. When I see guys retire at twenty

633
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: seven or twenty eight, I think of one thing, and

634
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: one thing only f you money.

635
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: That's what I think of.

636
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: This guy was undrafted, Bryce Off, He wasn't even supposed

637
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: to be in the building, and he walks away with

638
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: over forty million.

639
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 3: He made over forty million dollars.

640
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: That's hitting the mega millions, while the rest of us

641
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: are scratching off, losing scratcherr tickets at seven to.

642
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 3: Eleven or whatever your favorite.

643
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: You'll go to wah WAHF you're in Philadelphia, pick your favorite,

644
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: or Bucki's wherever it might be. But if the NFL

645
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: had fifteen dollars an hour salaries, you could pay hourly

646
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an hour.

647
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: Do you think that Bryce hoff would be punching that

648
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 3: time card. I think he would. I think he'd be there.

649
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: He'd try to do it till he's sixty five, and

650
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 3: he'd have a bad back and bad knees and have

651
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: a bunch of concussions, but he'd still be trying to

652
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: do it.

653
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: So my theory, and I think I'm right as my

654
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: hypothesis is that Bryce Off is leaving the NFL not

655
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: because of the violence. He's leaving because he wants to

656
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 1: live the hedonist lifestyle. He's got go to Hell money

657
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: and he's young guy, and you can really love He's

658
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven. You usually make it to your mid seventies,

659
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: so you know you got a good run of just

660
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: living the life of Riley. He's trading his helmet for

661
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: a yacht. He's giving up Ramen noodles for Kobe beef.

662
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: This is like a Disney cruise. Zippity Dude, Da Zippity Day.

663
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: And people are like, oh, this is such a sad thing. No,

664
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,160

00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 8: Raiders to have interest in Kirk Cousins, but if the

674
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,479
Speaker 8: Raiders were to sign Cousins. Do you think Mendoza still

676
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,360

684
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 8: upon the start of free agency this summer. But you

685
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,719

686
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: Well, he's not.

687
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,520
