Now, 72 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: it could be for any reason, like it's not just 73 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 2: because like we think they're gonna be the best team. 74 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: It's like, eh, there might be something interesting to watch here. 75 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: It could be good, could be weird. So that's what 76 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna start with. And I am personally 77 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: excited for a little bit of quarterback battle drama. Okay, yes, 78 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: the media to the media. 79 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 4: Talk about a reality show. 80 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is We've got a couple like this would 81 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: be epic reality shows. Oh wait, which one is Hard Knocks? 82 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 2: They were talking about was going to be probably Chicago. 83 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's going to be like 84 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: that's that's probably going to be. 85 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So the first team I want to start with 86 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: are the Steelers. Now, there's a lot to unpack here. First, 87 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: it's Mike Tomlin's last year on his contract. He hasn't 88 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: had a losing season in seventeen years, and he just 89 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: picked up two new quarterbacks that he doesn't have loyalty 90 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: really to either of them, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, 91 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: and both of these guys have so much to prove 92 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: this year. Now from the obvious what we're hearing, Russ 93 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: is said to be the starting quarterback, but at the 94 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: end of the day, Steelers are paying him league minimum, 95 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: Broncos are paying him millions to play. 96 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: The bulk of his still coming from. 97 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: For another team, and he's coming off a record in 98 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: Denver at eleven and nineteen over two years. He does 99 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: have a Super Bowl ring and is an established quarterback, 100 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: but really took a step back with his move with 101 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: the Broncos. And you have Justin Fields, who also, yeah, 102 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: has a career to prove. He did not have a 103 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: winning season in Chicago. He was ten and twenty eight 104 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: over three years. And then on top of all of that, 105 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: the Steelers are in a very tough division, the AFC North, 106 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 2: with the Ravens, the Browns, the Bengals, and they don't 107 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: have an easy schedule at all. And if Russ is 108 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: struggling halfway through the season, they don't have loyalty to him. 109 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: I could see him throwing Justin Fields, Let's just see 110 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: what do we have to lose, Let's just see what 111 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: we got. 112 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: So that is my first team. That's interesting. I'm really 113 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 3: excited to say. I think that. 114 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 4: I think there's something to be said though, that the 115 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 4: Steelers had such a quarter at Carousel this year and 116 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: Mike Toman is going to try to avoid that this year, 117 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 4: like last season was you two. 118 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: Starting guys though that were starting last year. 119 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: I would use the term starting with Justin Fields right 120 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 4: now loosely because I think that the reason that he 121 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 4: went to Pittsburgh is to have a development here and 122 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 4: to make sure that he can kind of get back 123 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 4: on check because Chicago didn't do him any favors when 124 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: he first got into the league, and he needs to 125 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: gain some of that confidence back. So like, let him 126 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 4: sit back while you have the nine time pro bowler, but. 127 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: We don't know what if he's like a new environment, 128 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: new coach, new city, new team. You never know, you 129 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: never know. 130 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: That's why, like, this is why I'm very interesting ideal. 131 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: On board with you because I'm very interested to see 132 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 4: how this this all ends up shaking out. I'm going 133 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 4: to go to Justin Field's old team. Yeah, who's your 134 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 4: first shocker? Yeah, shocker ball Shockers. I want to see 135 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: what Chicago Bearers actually look like this year. It's gonna 136 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: be very interesting because I grew up in Chicago. Yeah, 137 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 4: I have skewed defense for my entire fandom, my entire life. 138 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: I've been all about defense. My favorite player of all 139 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 4: time is Lance Briggs, Like I that's. 140 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: All I had. 141 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: That was Chicago's identity, and it's what they leaned back. 142 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: It's like what they fell back on for decades. Yes, 143 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: the pass man there. 144 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 4: If you look at the quarterback play, the Bears have 145 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: obviously never had a four thousand yard passer. They've never 146 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 4: had a thirty touchdown passer their quarterback. Their rookie quarterback 147 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 4: records are even more dismal. It's like twenty two hundred 148 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 4: yards and eleven touchdowns. 149 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 150 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: So I'm very interested to see, now that the Bears 151 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: have invested so much in their offense, what it's actually 152 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 4: going to look like. With Caleb Williams, who has been 153 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: training for this moment his entire life. This is a 154 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: guy who he was in grade school said I'm going 155 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 4: to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft, 156 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: and guess what. He was the first overall pick in 157 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: the NFL draft. Can he follow through? Can he continue 158 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 4: to follow through I should say, on the promises he 159 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 4: made to himself. Yes, and all of the things that 160 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 4: it just seems like finally, Ryan Poles has curated a 161 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: wonderful landing spot, a wonderful. 162 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 3: Roster bottom weapons. 163 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: The organization for the first time in my life, looks 164 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: like it's actually set up to develop a quarterback. Yeah, 165 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: and I'm like that will Ferrell Talladay at It's meme 166 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: where I'm like, I don't I don't know what to 167 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 4: do with my hands. 168 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 169 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 4: Actually, our good friend Rago Nick Rego at Fox he's 170 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 4: a huge Bears fan, had a social for Fox Digital 171 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 4: and he sent me that meme yesterday because he's just like, 172 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: I don't know what to do with all this buzz 173 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: And this is the thing though, this is not the 174 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: first time the Bears have been hyped up in the 175 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: off season. Yeah, so now I want to see if 176 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: they can actually execute and follow through. But not only 177 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 4: did Ryan Poles take years building this roster, but also 178 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 4: Caleb Williams has been training for years for this, and 179 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 4: his offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron, has known him for years 180 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 4: through the Quarterback Collective. There's a video of them working 181 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: together in twenty seventeen. 182 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. That's gonna be a that's 183 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 2: gonna be a positive. 184 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 4: They should be kind of gelling very well. And I'm 185 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 4: interested to see how this is all executed because again 186 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 4: it's all about the execution. 187 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: Now. 188 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 4: The plan is set, it's a rock solid plan, yes, 189 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: but is it going to go according to that is 190 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: my questions. 191 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: And I think you have majority of the eyes football 192 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: fans and NFL players. With all of the hype around it, 193 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: I think most people are gonna like, we're going to 194 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: tune into the first game. 195 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: Everybody, I agree. I mean, Chicago is such a huge market. 196 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 4: The Bears are huge to have a huge fan base, 197 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 4: it's nationwide. It's one of the most followed teams in 198 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 4: the NFL, behind like the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, and everybody 199 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: is going to be watching. But Caleb Williams is used 200 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 4: to that, so. 201 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see. 202 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: I'm excited, okay, my second team. I'm excited to watch 203 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: the Chargers. 204 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. 205 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: I hopefully they got their coach right finally and Jim Harbaugh, 206 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: he's coming off a natty seems to bring that culture 207 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: that the Chargers have been missing and they have their guy. 208 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: So we've been talking about Justin Herbert. 209 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of talk around his talent, but 210 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: there has been no playoff wins to show forties thirty 211 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: thirty two in his career with the Chargers. 212 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: Over four years, every. 213 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: Season there has been the excuse, maybe it's not the 214 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: right coaching staff, maybe just pile after pile a pile 215 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: of excuses. 216 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: This is the year where we're going to know the truth. 217 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: There's going to be too many eyes on you to 218 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: be mediocre. Obviously, they're in the AFC West, so the 219 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: Chiefs are always going to be their biggest. 220 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 4: Challenge, the biggest challenge for the entire per. 221 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 2: Everybody's But they should be able to finish second in 222 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: the division. They should take both games against the Broncos 223 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: and the Raiders. And I don't want to say they 224 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: have an easy schedule, but they have a lot of 225 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: winnable games. As I mentioned Broncos, Raiders, They're playing the Saints, 226 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: the Titans, Panthers, Patriots. Like there's a lot of winnable games. 227 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: It's not the toughest schedule that they have. So there's 228 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 2: been so much hype around Justin Herbert since he got 229 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: in the league but hasn't gotten that playoff win. And 230 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 2: there was like, maybe it's not the right personnel, maybe 231 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: it's not the right coach. Now you got Jim Harbond, 232 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 2: Now you have the culture, the talent, the leadership, this 233 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: is the year you gotta do something. Who's your second team? 234 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 4: I kind of took a little the easy way out 235 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 4: with two teams in my division, but not for the 236 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: reason everybody thinks the Green Bay Packers. Okay, obviously, we 237 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 4: want to see if now that Jordan Love has more 238 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 4: of a target on his back, if he can continue 239 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 4: this upward trajectory that we saw. I mean, he started 240 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 4: the season a little rocky and then just kind of 241 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: shot up and by the end of the year, obviously 242 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 4: the Packers of the youngest team in the division and 243 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 4: went to the divisional round. Yeah, or the youngest team 244 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 4: in the league, I should say, went to the divisional round. 245 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 4: Can you a sustain that? 246 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 247 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 4: But the biggest storyline to me is the defense. Because 248 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 4: the defense had under perform for years, they now bring 249 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 4: in Jeff Hafley as their defensive coordinator at it entirely 250 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 4: different scheme. He's were going to run a base four 251 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 4: to three for the first We're going to see a 252 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: base four three in Green Bay for the first time 253 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 4: since two thousand and eight, fifteen years. Now, defensive scheme 254 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 4: is more fluid than ever. You're what your base is, 255 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily matter as much as it used to, but 256 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 4: I'm very interested to see they spent a lot of 257 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 4: money on a safety and Xavier McKinney. They also went 258 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 4: out and they got another safety in the draft from 259 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 4: Georgia that Javon Bullard, who I really really like. They 260 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 4: actually invest in the offensive line again with their first 261 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 4: round pick Morgan from Arizona. So I'm interested to see 262 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 4: if they filled all those holes and what this defense 263 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: is going to look like, and if this defense can 264 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: support Jordan Love so that the Packers returned to that 265 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: division title conversation, because I think that they're very close. 266 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: They're close. They got lucky. I think the world was 267 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: shocked at how good Jordan Love ended up being. 268 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: They've been doing this stuff my whole life, so it's 269 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: one of those things where I it's not luck, this 270 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: is this is exactly what they were planning on happening, 271 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 4: and this is a plan that was executed to perfection. 272 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to our third, third, and final 273 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 2: team that we are looking forward to. 274 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: And excited to watch this season. 275 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: Mine's going to be the team that got all the 276 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: way and fell short. The San Francisco forty nine ers 277 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: now They had everything going for them last season except 278 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 2: that they were playing Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid in 279 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. 280 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: And at this point, no. 281 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: Way, no one can be everybody and we read even 282 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: on a quote down yet. But what I love to 283 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 2: see is how a team can bounce back and can 284 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: they recover. We saw what happened with the Eagles last 285 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 2: season after they lost to the Chiefs and the Super Bowl. 286 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: The year before, they started out with a bang, going 287 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 2: ten to one, and then fell off a cliff and 288 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: finished the season one and five. Now the forty nine Ers, 289 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: who have one of the best coaches in the league, 290 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan, they're all around one of the strongest teams. 291 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: Last year, brock Purty led the league in passer rating 292 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: third and passing touchdowns. Offensively, they were second in yards 293 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: per game, third and points per game. Defensively, they were 294 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: tied for first and interceptions third in points allowed per game. 295 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 2: So they still have a They still have a good core, 296 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: right but their guys are, again, as is everybody else 297 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: in the league, getting older. They have a semi difficult schedule, 298 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: possible opportunity to repeat win NFC WES and make it 299 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship Game for a third year in 300 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: a row. But I I'm always like, it's always so 301 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: interesting when you like almost go all the way and 302 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: don't quite get it and fall short. 303 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: It's like, what are you going to do? 304 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: That's the thing too. 305 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, NFC Championship game back to back years, Like they've 306 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: had all the pieces. 307 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 3: Shanahan just can't get over that Super Bowl hump. 308 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: And it's Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reads fault. 309 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, who's your third team? 310 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 4: My third team is the Houston Texans because I am 311 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: very interesting. Again, did you talk about pleasant surprises? Yeah, 312 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 4: no one thought that they were going to be able 313 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 4: to put it all together that quickly. 314 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: Nod Shaun maybe like CJ that, yeah. 315 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 4: Exactly, and obviously Jamika Ryans and Nick Sari other GM 316 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 4: But honestly, it was the Deshaun Watson trade that gave 317 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 4: them so much capital and so much wiggle room to 318 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 4: remake this roster very very quickly. So they did that. 319 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: They had a ton of success this year. But now 320 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: they're not taking anybody by surprise, but they did. They 321 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: did add some veterans to try and add some experience 322 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: that guys that have been in the playoffs, guys that 323 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: have understand what it's like to have a successful run 324 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 4: in Stefan Diggs and in Joe Mixing. But we're gonna 325 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 4: see what it looks like when they do have a 326 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: target on their back. And the AFC South, I think 327 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 4: the Titans are going to give them a little bit 328 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: more more problems than we think. I think the Colts 329 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: could give them more problems than we think. But it 330 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 4: should be kind of a down division, down year for 331 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 4: the division. 332 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: Again. 333 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, they should be able to get out of the 334 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: AFC South pretty easily, but then again, you're talking about 335 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: running into the Chiefs, You're talking running into the Bills 336 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 4: in the playoffs.

Yeah, 508 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 4: and he he was telling me, He's like, you know what, 509 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 4: it was good to get back to some like non 510 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 4: woke like comedy, just like not really caring what people said, 511 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 4: because I'm like, we haven't had that any. 512 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 3: We haven't had this kind of comedy in a long time. 513 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: So good job. Netflix is a joke. Thank you Tom 514 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: Brady for being so open to it. Like that was 515 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: that was gold.

PJ Washington leading all scores with sixteen. 520 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 6: He's seven to ten from the floor. He's having a 521 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 6: pretty good game so far. Shay Gildens Alexander thirteen points 522 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 6: on the thunder side. Also, Luca Donatics and Kyrier are irving, 523 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 6: combining for twelve points so far in the first half. 524 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 6: Kyrie go only with four. He's been slow to start 525 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 6: so in pretty much every playoff game so far. We'll 526 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 6: see if he turns it up in the second half. 527 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 6: The Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The second half 528 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 6: of this doubleheader right now, eight thirty Eastern expected to 529 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 6: be the tip off for that. Jared Allen questionable with 530 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 6: I'm sorry game time decision with a rib injury. Chris 531 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 6: hes Pazinka is obviously still out. In the NHL Game four, 532 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 6: Rangers at the Hurricanes, the puck drop seven pm Eastern, 533 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 6: New York has a three to nothing lead in that series. 534 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 6: Three ten pm Eastern, the Stars and the Avalanche tied 535 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 6: one game apiece.

After blowing 568 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 2: through the Lakers in the first round, they're kind of 569 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: off to a slow start. Yes, they got the win 570 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: last night, but up a little bit last night. We 571 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: woke up a little bit last night, but it's not 572 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 2: what's going on here doesn't feel like the exact same 573 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: team that we saw against the Lakers in the first round. 574 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 7: No, And honestly, it's definitely not the same team that 575 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 7: we saw win a championship last year either. And I 576 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 7: have to tell you, I don't know what the answer 577 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 7: is because as a fan, I'm still trying to figure 578 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 7: it out. I think what we're seeing with the Nuggets 579 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 7: most of the time, and in a lot of these games, 580 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 7: even winning in a gentleman's sleep against the Lakers, we 581 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 7: saw them really struggling in the first half. They're playing 582 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 7: this very pace yourself game of basketball right now. And 583 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 7: we saw them go down two in this series against 584 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 7: the Timberwolves, and then I seriously think we saw a 585 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 7: completely different group of players in Game three. It was 586 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 7: like they did a complete one eighty. So they've got 587 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 7: this mindset. It seems of like, let's pace ourselves. We're 588 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 7: not going to exert all our energy right away. But 589 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 7: if you play with your food too long, it could 590 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 7: be a problem. So I'm really hoping that now that 591 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 7: they've paced themselves, they went down two, got a great, 592 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 7: great win in Game three, hopefully we won't be playing 593 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 7: with our food any longer because they will bite them 594 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 7: for sure. 595 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 4: I want to know, though, is this more kind of 596 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 4: a symptom of what the Timberwolves. I know, everybody thought 597 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 4: that they were good, but good Lord, especially in the 598 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 4: first two games, they look practically unstoppable. Is this just 599 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 4: kind of one of those things where people were underestimating 600 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 4: what the Timberwolves we're going. 601 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 3: To bring to this series? 602 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 7: Absolutely? I mean I think that I have always looked 603 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 7: at this tim World's team and been very, very fearful. 604 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 7: I actually said before this series started that whoever wins 605 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 7: this series, to me, is going to win the championship 606 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 7: because I think the Western Conference has been the most competitive, 607 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 7: and to me, these are the two teams that are 608 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 7: probably the best in the NBA right now. But I 609 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 7: think what we're seeing with the Timberwolves is maybe some 610 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 7: of the best defense in the postseason that we've seen 611 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 7: in a while. We talk about Jamal Murray a lot, 612 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 7: I know I do anyways, and his inconsistencies, and I 613 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 7: talk to people about is this inconsistencies in his game? 614 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 7: Are we finally seeing some flogs from Jamal Murray? Or 615 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 7: is this just credit that needs to be given to 616 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 7: this Timberwolves and Lakers defense that's able to stop Jamal 617 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 7: Murray from being so efficient? 618 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: Right? 619 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 7: He had three of eighteen, I believe in Game two 620 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 7: when it was horribly embarrassing, and in fact, I had 621 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 7: to turn it off the game I could not watch 622 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 7: any longer. But we've seen guys like Jamal Murray really struggling. 623 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 7: We've even't seen Yokich not scoring as efficiently as normal. 624 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 7: So I think it really is a testament to this 625 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 7: def offensive run that we're seeing by the Timberwolves. 626 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: Okay, so what changes need to be made by the 627 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: Nuggets to have a chance to advance to the Western 628 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: Conference Finals? 629 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 7: So yeah, I'm hoping that I am. 630 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: I am. 631 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 7: You know, maybe they're tuning in and listening and they 632 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 7: can hear exactly what I'm saying. Lock and gets it up. 633 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 4: Coach Live right now? Coach Live. 634 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, Coach Live is here. And I honestly think Game 635 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 7: three for me when they started playing, I was like 636 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 7: immediately comfortable. And I'll tell you why I love this 637 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 7: version of the Denver Nuggets. When Jokic does not prioritize scoring, 638 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 7: I think a lot of times. This team just like 639 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 7: us as fans says, Oh, we're good. We got Nicole Jokich, 640 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 7: the best player in the world. 641 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 8: We're good. 642 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 7: We're good. But the timberwill found a way to lock 643 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 7: him down a little bit, so if he can't score, 644 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 7: somebody else has to pick up the slack. So when 645 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 7: I saw in Game three, Jokis is really prioritizing the 646 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 7: facilitating that needed to be done. He was feeding it 647 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 7: to guys like Gordon finding MPJ. In the three, we 648 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 7: even saw our bench have way more production because we 649 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 7: weren't relying on Yoks minutes to get the job done. 650 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 7: And I think that that is when this team is 651 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 7: the most dangerous. I think this is the best starting 652 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 7: five in the NBA. I still believe that even after 653 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 7: Game one, in Game two of this series, So if 654 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 7: we can get Yolks in facilitation mode, the scoring is 655 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 7: going to happen regardless. But I love when we see 656 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 7: him really feeding the ball and getting everybody else involved 657 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 7: because I think that's when they're the most dangerous. So 658 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 7: I think that's what we saw in Game three. Hopefully 659 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 7: we see that again in Game four live. 660 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: I want to go back to the Jamal Murray situation. 661 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: He received one hundred thousand dollars fine for throwing that 662 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: heating towel onto the court during the game two loss. 663 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts and reactions on all of this? 664 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was very disappointed. I think that one thing 665 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 7: I have loved about being a Denver sports fan is 666 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 7: Denver's kind of like that, like humble. No one really 667 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 7: dislikes the team, you know, so when they won a 668 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 7: championship last year, it's like, oh, okay, who is Denver anyway? 669 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 7: Nobody's known about the Nuggets or talked about the Nuggets, 670 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 7: and here they and I've always respected how humbled that 671 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 7: they are. And I didn't love the moment, But I 672 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 7: also know these are grown men, and they have emotions 673 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 7: and they're competitive. I think the perspective that people are forgetting. 674 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 7: I personally think there should have been a suspension. And 675 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 7: I'll tell you why. It's a safety concern for me. 676 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 7: If the timberwol player threw that on the court, and 677 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 7: God forbid, KCP slips and hurts his hip or yokicqueaks 678 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 7: his knee or rolls his ankle, I would belivid. So 679 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 7: I can't be a hypocrite. 680 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 8: I can't say yeah just. 681 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 7: Because it's Jamal. I have to keep that same energy. 682 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 7: I have to, you know, understand that he made a mistake, 683 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 7: and I don't think that he had bad intentions in 684 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 7: doing it, but you kind of have to make an 685 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 7: example out of situations like that that, hey, you're lucky 686 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 7: that nothing happened, but something could have happened that would 687 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 7: have been really, really horrible in a playoff situation or 688 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 7: just in general. So from a safety perspective that I 689 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 7: don't think many people are thinking about. I do think 690 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 7: there should have been a suspension. I think he probably 691 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 7: should have spent a little more time addressing the situation, apologizing. 692 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 7: I get he wanted to move on, but listen, what 693 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 7: ultimately happened is the Timberwolves probably agreed he should have 694 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 7: been suspended. He was not. They booed him every time 695 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 7: he touched the ball, and unfortunately booze actually helped Jamal Murray. 696 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 7: And that's exactly what we saw. 697 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 4: Last night Live. If you can indulge me a little bit, 698 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 4: I want to talk about your Broncos as well, because 699 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 4: they're one of the teams that I think everybody's going 700 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 4: to be looking at this year. Just because of how 701 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 4: spectacularly everything fell to pieces with Russell Wilson. Now you 702 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 4: bring in bow Nicks, who you made a top twelve pick. 703 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 4: Very I was shocked at that. But at the same time, 704 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 4: I know Sean Payton. I know he gets fixated on 705 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 4: his guys and he sees bow Nicks I think is 706 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 4: his next Drew Brees type of project. What has been 707 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 4: the reaction in Denver? Are they excited about bow Were 708 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 4: they also surprised? Do they have faith in Sean Payton 709 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 4: to mold him into what we saw from Drew Brees 710 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 4: all those years at the Saints? What's the vibe? 711 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 7: I think that's honestly, the biggest vibe is hopefully the 712 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 7: Ads and Nuggets can hold us. 713 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 8: No matter what happens with There's a lot of pressure 714 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 8: on these uh sports right now to keep us alive. 715 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 7: But no, and in full honesty, I think that what 716 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 7: people struggled with initially with Sean Payton was kind of 717 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 7: coming and again he walked into such a hot mess 718 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 7: express that was so many Yeah, it was a dumpster fire, 719 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 7: and not only was he trying to make changes, but 720 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 7: he was also cleaning up messes. And so I think 721 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 7: that we expected a lot from him right right off 722 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 7: the bat, which was probably unfair of us as fans, 723 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 7: But when you've been in this rotation of quarterbacks so frequently, 724 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 7: you kind of start to get frustrated. I do think 725 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 7: that Sean Payton is a phenomenal coach and will do 726 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 7: great things. It's one of those trust the process situations. 727 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 7: I was very excited to see Bo Nicks get a 728 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 7: weapon that he is familiar you're with, because I think 729 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 7: so much of what being a Broncos fan is is 730 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 7: this patience of we'll get there, we'll get there, and 731 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 7: then we look at the clock on our arm and 732 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 7: we say we're not there, but exactly you kind of 733 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 7: run out of patience. But I think having Bo already 734 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 7: with somebody on the field that he's familiar with is 735 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 7: going to be a really great thing. And I think 736 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 7: what we're seeing with the trays and with the players 737 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 7: that are staying and going, I think a lot of 738 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 7: what Sean Payton is trying to do right now is 739 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 7: rebuild culture, and I think that's something that Broncos have 740 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 7: struggled with a lot. So I trust his process. I 741 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 7: just I would say the overall Broncos fan feeling is 742 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 7: that we're just running out of patience. So hopefully we 743 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 7: start to see some of the things that Sean Payton 744 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 7: has been working on behind the scenes actually become wins, 745 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 7: because ultimately, that's all that football fans care about, just 746 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 7: when the football game going. 747 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: Exactly what would you consider a successful season? Like how 748 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: many many wins would you consider a successful season on. 749 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 8: A like a rookie season for Bonix, I think let's 750 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 8: just start with the with baby steps and let's just 751 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 8: have some type of competitive competitiveness in our own division. 752 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 7: I think that our own division is a very, very 753 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 7: tough one. We know that the Ast West is not 754 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 7: to be messed around with. Now we've got the Chargers 755 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 7: with a new head coach, they're going to get their 756 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 7: stuff figured out. The Raiders, who have never really been 757 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 7: a team that the Broncos should fear, have owned the 758 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 7: Broncos over the last few years. So let's just start 759 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 7: with that in general, like, let's just be competitive against 760 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 7: our own I don't expect this team to, you know, 761 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 7: go on and win every single game. I just let's 762 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 7: get over over fifty, for sure. 763 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 2: But I think, yeah, low expectations, so you don't get disappointed. 764 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 3: I think you learned. 765 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 2: You learned from the Russell Wilson situation. You had high expectations, 766 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 2: everyone got let down. Now low expectations and if you 767 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 2: do well, you know you're excited about it. 768 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 4: Ourselves partly disappointing. 769 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, before we let that go, congratulations on your new show. 770 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 3: With all due respect. 771 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: You tell us where people can find it, what we 772 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 2: can expect, and just like all the apps so we 773 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 2: can follow you. 774 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 775 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 7: So working now with Faller Alert, it'll be on the YouTube. 776 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 7: I'm on all things social at lib Moods, just posting 777 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 7: kind of whatever I feel like posting, whether it's funny, 778 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 7: whether it's a hot take.

But I think that 783 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 7: at the end of the day, that's what sports is 784 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 7: all about. It's supposed to be fun.

Here was the season and the year 946 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 2: of the backup quarterbacks. There were sixty six quarterbacks that 947 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 2: started a game last year, insane. So that means we 948 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 2: have some big names that are coming back ready to 949 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 2: start the season. 950 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 4: So we're doing a little The race for comeback Player 951 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 4: of the Year is going to huge. 952 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 3: I didn't even think about that. Oh yeah, I didn't 953 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 3: even think about that. 954 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so we're gonna do a little check in because 955 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 2: some teams have started their offseason workouts and we're finally 956 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 2: hearing from some guys. Now it's not like nothing's like 957 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 2: fully mandatory for the veterans yet, However, most have decided 958 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 2: to show up get to know the new guys, and 959 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 2: we're finally getting some updates. So welcome to the quarterback 960 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 2: injury report and how they're handling it. 961 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 3: And let's get started with Joe Burrow. 962 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: Now, let me refresh your memory once again, because he 963 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 2: got paid last season. At the time, it was the 964 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 2: biggest contract in history quarterback history as far as money 965 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 2: per year, still the biggest. But he was not one 966 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 2: hundred percent in preseason right he was dealing with a 967 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 2: calf injury. Then in November he tore a ligament in 968 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 2: his wrist. But what we love about Burrow is after 969 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 2: he got injured, he was still there down on the 970 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: sidelines with a headset on still being as involved as 971 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 2: as he could with the team. Even now he's there 972 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: with the team, he's doing the off season workouts, and 973 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 2: he's been Yeah, he's been open and transparent about his recovery, 974 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,720 Speaker 2: and he spoke earlier giving us a little update this week. 975 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 9: It has definitely been one of the most challenging parts 976 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 9: of my life for the last several months. But we're 977 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 9: getting through it and continuing to improve, you know, mentally 978 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 9: and physically every day. So it's definitely a challenge and 979 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 9: a process. I'm going to be smart about it. You know, 980 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 9: if I need a break, I need to break the risk. 981 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 9: Maybe he's going to hurt sometimes, and I'm going to 982 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 9: be honest and with myself about how my body's feeling, 983 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 9: maybe a little more cautious than I have been in 984 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 9: years past. 985 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 3: I mean, that might be one one of the tougher 986 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 3: injuries for a quarterback. 987 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 4: Quarterback and you're in your throwing risk. That's the thing is. 988 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 4: Aj Hawk actually talked about this on the Pat Macabe 989 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 4: Show because we had the same injury injury, and he 990 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 4: said they had to take attention from his left wrist 991 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 4: to put in his right, which is insane. And when 992 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 4: you think about a quarterback and the way that they 993 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 4: need to put a spin on the ball, the way 994 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 4: they maneuver the ball, all in the wrist, there is 995 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 4: some concern. I think in Cincinnati. We'll talk to Kelsey 996 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 4: about this a little bit later. We will about how 997 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 4: close to one hundred percent he's actually going to be. 998 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 4: But I like that he's being smart. I like that 999 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,879 Speaker 4: he's being transparent. I like that he's still around the team. 1000 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 4: That's the biggest thing for me. 1001 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 3: That's the number one thing. 1002 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 4: Is you talk about like rookie wide receivers like Jermaine Burton, 1003 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 4: who the team took this year. I mean he was 1004 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 4: already talking at rookie Mintiamp about how much his conversations 1005 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 4: with Joe Burrow up until this point have meant to him. Yeah, 1006 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 4: and that is a leader. That is the quarterback you 1007 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 4: want on the team. That is why you made him 1008 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 4: the highest paid quarterback. It's not just for his talent. 1009 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 4: It's not just for what he can contribute on to 1010 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 4: the field. Although we really need to stop talking about 1011 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow like he isn't something incredibly special, because he 1012 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 4: is when he's on the field. 1013 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 1: He is. 1014 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 2: But he has had a few big injuries already in 1015 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 2: his NFL career. He tours ACL's rookie season. Obviously the 1016 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 2: calf struggles wasn't like a big thing, but then the 1017 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 2: torn ligament in his wrist, and if Burrow has any 1018 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: more major injuries, especially this season. Is it time to 1019 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 2: start thinking about having some sort of serious insurance policy 1020 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 2: to start developing another quarterback behind them. 1021 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 4: That's that's absolutely a question the Bengals are asking themselves. 1022 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 4: But like also, let's not get to ahead of ourselves either. 1023 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 4: There have been plenty of quarterbacks that have come back 1024 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 4: from early, early career injuries. I can think of Drew 1025 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 4: Brees as we were talking about earlier, came back and 1026 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 4: had a wonderful career. Joe Montana did the same thing 1027 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 4: and went on to multiple Super Bowls after that. So 1028 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 4: I don't want to panic just yet, especially when I 1029 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 4: mean you think about his earlier injuries were almost a 1030 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 4: direct result of the fact that he had no protection, 1031 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 4: no offensive line around him. Yes, Bengals have now the 1032 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 4: most sacked quarterback right year set sack records because and again, 1033 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 4: quarterbacks are gonna happen, the dirty little secrets that quarterbacks 1034 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 4: are not blameless in sacks. But in this case it 1035 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 4: was very different. The Bengals have spent the couple of 1036 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 4: years since heavily investing in the offensive line. You've got 1037 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 4: two six to eight tackles on the other on each 1038 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 4: side of this line. Now lots of protection and you 1039 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 4: have depth, which is the big key along along the 1040 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 4: Cincinnati front. So I'm excited to see what it looks 1041 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 4: like this year for the Bengals because again, they have 1042 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 4: a really good team. They've got a really underrated defense. 1043 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 4: They've got some really good pieces. You're gonna have to 1044 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,879 Speaker 4: pay Jamar Chase very soon. 1045 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: Ye. 1046 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 4: But I need to see Joey just get back out there. Yeah, 1047 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 4: and I want I want that for him. I want 1048 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 4: that for the Bengals because he is something so incredibly 1049 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 4: special when he is healthy. And again we can stop 1050 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 4: talking about is he injury prone? Do the Bengals need 1051 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 4: a contingency plan? YadA, YadA, YadA. If he plays this 1052 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 4: whole full season, I'm on board. 1053 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, But as you said, he's still he's feeling it. 1054 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 2: It's gonna hurt. It's his wrists, so you gotta you 1055 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 2: have to be so careful, so careful that. Okay, let's 1056 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 2: move on to Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. This had 1057 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 2: to be, again one of the craziest opening games we've 1058 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:57,919 Speaker 2: ever seen. 1059 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 3: Fourteen steps running out with the American flag in New 1060 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 3: York on nine to eleven. So much hype around Rogers 1061 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,359 Speaker 3: in this new beginning another four plays in. 1062 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 4: There's irony. There's irony there being that he's a nine 1063 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 4: to eleven conspiracy theorist. 1064 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 3: But anyway, oh I didn't know that. 1065 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Aaron Rodgers has questioned the validity 1066 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 4: of nine to eleven and then ran out with the 1067 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,919 Speaker 4: American flag. Also for a team that is owned by 1068 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 4: a massive pharmaceutical company. 1069 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 2: But this is okay, So another Rogers made sure to 1070 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 2: stay in the spotlight all of last season for all 1071 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 2: the wrong reasons, all the reasons, all the wrong reasons right, 1072 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 2: and there was talking you might come back also at 1073 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 2: the end of the season, which was pure crazy for 1074 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 2: a forty year old recovering from one of the craziest 1075 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 2: injuries you can have felt like he was kind of 1076 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 2: stringing the Jets on with his return and never fully 1077 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 2: they never fully recovered. They should have gone out and 1078 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 2: got a veteran quarterback. 1079 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 4: I can't believe they didn't sign Joe Flacco because you 1080 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,240 Speaker 4: see what the Browns said, and like if the Jets 1081 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 4: had Joe Blacker, they would they would have probably been 1082 00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 4: a playoff team with Joe Flacco. 1083 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 3: The Browns were. We'll get to that in a second. 1084 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 2: But I he is back, he's there doing off season workouts. 1085 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 3: He's got two more years on his contract. 1086 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 2: But I personally have very low expectations for Rogers and 1087 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 2: the Jets. 1088 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 4: He's been actually kind of quiet for a while. 1089 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 2: Although he did so Pat McAfee, he got kicked off 1090 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 2: Pat McAfee, I feel like, so that was his that 1091 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 2: was his week. 1092 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 4: I talked to a guy. I see a couple of 1093 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 4: guys over there by the way. He didn't get kicked off. 1094 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 4: And I'm not the one to come to the defense 1095 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 4: of Aaron Rodgers. I'm really not. But he he was 1096 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 4: never contracted to beyond during the off season. Yeah, is 1097 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 4: apparently is what I was told by past people. So 1098 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 4: I was like, okay, fine, spin it whatever. 1099 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 7: I know. 1100 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,919 Speaker 4: Like I said, I'm not the one. I'm not the one. 1101 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 4: But that was his spot where he did you see him? 1102 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 4: He was at the Kentucky Derby, which is a thing 1103 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 4: that he does. But did you also notice that none 1104 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 4: of his Jets teammates were with him. It was all 1105 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 4: like former Packers, like DeVante Adams was there, David Bacciari, 1106 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 4: Dove Bactiyar's brother, like they're all good friends. 1107 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 3: With Aaron with them, yet he didn't spend the season 1108 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:00,919 Speaker 3: with them. 1109 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,839 Speaker 4: I like, but that should tell you a lot because 1110 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 4: you're still currently playing and I get it. It's kind 1111 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 4: of the same thing about when I was with Tampa 1112 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 4: and we had Tom Brady. I don't think any Tampa fan. 1113 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,280 Speaker 4: I think Tampa fans, to their credit, were very well aware, 1114 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 4: self aware of like, we're renting Tom Brady. Tom Brady 1115 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 4: doesn't belong to us, but he's renting. 1116 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 3: He is bringing you eight But yeah. 1117 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 4: We're gonna we're gonna rent him for a couple of years. Welcome, 1118 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 4: and he's gonna bring us a championship. And he did, 1119 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 4: which was great. But they're under no illusions that Tom 1120 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 4: Brady belongs to the Buccaneers much in the way that 1121 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 4: I don't think Jets fans should be disillusioned into the 1122 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 4: fact that Aaron Rodgers belongs to you. But Tom didn't 1123 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 4: do stuff like this when he was currently playing for 1124 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,439 Speaker 4: the Bucks with another teammate, like in fact, he would 1125 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 4: bring other teammates that he was currently playing with. 1126 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 2: He brought with US teammates, so it's still about to 1127 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 2: the Bucks. 1128 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,719 Speaker 3: So he broke gronk with them. 1129 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 4: So yeah, he did that too, but that matter. He 1130 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 4: brought his friends along too. 1131 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 3: He did. 1132 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 4: But when Tom was at the Bucks, he would tell like, 1133 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,879 Speaker 4: you saw him hanging out with Mike Evans, you saw 1134 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 4: him hanging like whatever, You didn't. He would bring those 1135 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 4: guys along. And whereas like Aaron is just kind of 1136 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 4: I'm impressed that he is at OTAs though, because that's 1137 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,280 Speaker 4: something he was doing with the Packers. 1138 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 3: And again he's got, he's gotta. 1139 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,839 Speaker 4: I don't have any expectations for Aaron Rodgers this year. 1140 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:07,479 Speaker 4: I really don't. 1141 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,280 Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on to another Achilles injury, Kirk Cousins, 1142 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 2: but boy, there's some unexpected drama here. He decided to 1143 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 2: make the move to Atlanta. They paid him a huge 1144 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 2: contract one hundred and eighty. 1145 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 3: Million, hundred million, which is guaranteed over four. 1146 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 2: Years, one hundred guaranteed at and it recently came out 1147 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 2: that he decided to go to Atlanta because the Vikings 1148 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 2: were planning to draft a quarterback and well, well, well 1149 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 2: the grass isn't always greener. Falcons, with the eighth overall pick, 1150 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 2: selected Michael Pennix Junior, the quarterback from Washington, and this 1151 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,320 Speaker 2: shocked everybody, the fans Kirk the football world. 1152 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 3: Now, I know we can. I know we're not. 1153 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 4: We went back. 1154 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 2: Over it, but what's done is done, okay, And I 1155 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: like to look on the bright side of life. So 1156 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 2: hopefully this will be a great learning and growing experience 1157 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,800 Speaker 2: for Pennix. 1158 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,240 Speaker 3: But boy does a suck for Kirk Cousins. 1159 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna say that he's also coming off 1160 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 2: the biggest injury of his career. He will be thirty 1161 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 2: six when the season starts. Both Kirk and Pennick seem 1162 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,919 Speaker 2: like good humans. They're both already with their new team 1163 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 2: at the off season workouts. But this situation, it's not 1164 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 2: like the same one in Pittsburgh, as I mentioned off 1165 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 2: the top of the show, But it's another quarterback situation that, 1166 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 2: like you're gonna want to watch it, tune in because 1167 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 2: it's a reality TV drama. 1168 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 4: It concerns me because so Kirk Cousins is already fully 1169 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 4: participating in Phase two of the Falcons off season program, which, yeah, 1170 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 4: Phase two is where the coaches can actually go through 1171 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 4: walkthroughs with you. Phase one coaches are not allowed on 1172 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,319 Speaker 4: the field with you. You can work out with the 1173 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 4: training staff, you can work out on your own with 1174 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 4: your fellow players. You cannot be under the guide of coaches. 1175 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 4: Phase two coaches are on the field. He's already fully 1176 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 4: participating in that. And I'm not saying that, like, obviously 1177 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 4: he's under the care of the best doctors in the 1178 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 4: world and they're telling him what he can and can't do. 1179 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 4: And this is all like walk through stuff anyway, So 1180 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 4: it's nothing like that's too too strenuous. But now that 1181 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:05,439 Speaker 4: he knows that there's this fresh faced rookie breathing down, 1182 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 4: is he really going to be as patient with himself 1183 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 4: as he needs to be a thirty six roll coming 1184 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 4: off with an coming off and achilles. 1185 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 3: He's training his backup, he's training his replacement. 1186 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 4: He's training, which is not uncommon in the NFL, but 1187 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 4: it is uncommon to where you are. Also, you don't 1188 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 4: have a rapport with the team yet, Like that's where 1189 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 4: this situation and I hate, I hate. 1190 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 2: In comparison to this team because I hate were under 1191 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 2: the impression they were not going to do this. 1192 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,879 Speaker 4: I hate the comparison between what Kirk Cousins is dealing 1193 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,959 Speaker 4: with and what Aaron Rodgers dealt with in Green Bay. 1194 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers was fully entrenched for years, a decade and 1195 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 4: a half, over a decade and a half with the 1196 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers before they brought in Jordan Love. And 1197 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 4: it was not like they knew that they wanted Jordan 1198 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 4: Love to sit too. So Rogers job was not in 1199 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 4: any imminent danger. No one had seen anything from Love, 1200 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 4: no one had any expectations of Love. No one thought 1201 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 4: that he was going to come in if Aaron Rodgers 1202 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 4: struggled that first season, like Rogers was not looking over 1203 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 4: his shoulder. Kirk Cousins does not have this locker room yet. 1204 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 4: Now you have two new quarterbacks that are vying for 1205 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 4: You're like the like it's not good for the culture. 1206 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 4: That's why I had such an issue with this. I'm like, 1207 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 4: Kirk is not established here. So now if Penix goes 1208 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 4: out and he lights training camp on fire, all these 1209 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 4: guys are going to be like, well, why are we 1210 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 4: wasting our time with a thirty six year old quarterback 1211 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 4: who has never really had postseason success coming off of 1212 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 4: an achilles injury when we could be building with this 1213 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 4: young guy who clearly has his you know what together? 1214 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 4: I hate it. I hope Cousins still takes the time 1215 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 4: that he needs should get better drama. But it's going 1216 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,359 Speaker 4: to be very interesting this season. And I really hope 1217 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 4: that and the Falcons aren't trigger happy and that Kirk 1218 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 4: is solidified in this job because it's going to be 1219 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 4: you have I said it set it on speak yeah 1220 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 4: a week ago in regards to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but 1221 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 4: it remains true no matter where you are, if you 1222 00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 4: have two quarterbacks, you have none. And that is what 1223 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,280 Speaker 4: I'm afraid of. For Atlanta. We'll say all right. 1224 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 3: Now, Last, and definitely least. 1225 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,680 Speaker 2: Definitely least Deshaun Watson, who has been mia from off 1226 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:09,400 Speaker 2: season workouts. 1227 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised at all. 1228 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 2: Let me be honest here and say, I don't like 1229 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 2: giving this man any extra time and attention on my show, 1230 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 2: but he is giving us a good lesson on what 1231 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 2: not to do when you're coming back from an injury. 1232 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 4: Trying to come back from an injury. I did not 1233 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,879 Speaker 4: appreciate kind of the lack of daisical way that he 1234 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 4: is talking about his rehab. He said it could be 1235 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,760 Speaker 4: sooner rather than later. It could be later rather than sooner. 1236 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 4: For me, I just take it one day at a 1237 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 4: time because I don't really know the strategy behind it. 1238 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 4: I just know that the plan is going to work out, 1239 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 4: so I just follow it. I like you compare and 1240 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,839 Speaker 4: contrast what Deshawn's comments are worth like Joe Burrow, Yeah, 1241 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,800 Speaker 4: it's I feel so much better about what Joe Burrow 1242 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 4: is doing right now. And not to mention, we talked 1243 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 4: about it. Joe Burrow is at OTAs. He's helping the receease. 1244 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 4: He's doing everything that your quarterback, your leader needs to do. 1245 00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 4: Deshaun is on his podcast his with his quarterbacks coach, 1246 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 4: he is, you know, training away from the facility in 1247 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 4: La or rehaving away from the facility, and I he 1248 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,279 Speaker 4: doesn't seem to have any sort of motivation. Why would 1249 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 4: you when you were guaranteed two hundred and thirty six 1250 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,240 Speaker 4: million dollars no matter. 1251 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 2: What, you five year, two hundred and thirty million dollars 1252 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 2: guaranteed contract. He still has three years left. It's still 1253 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 2: the most guaranteed money. And he's only played twelve games 1254 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 2: over two seasons, game six games each season due to 1255 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 2: the suspension and injury. 1256 00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:29,839 Speaker 4: They're not good games. 1257 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,839 Speaker 2: That's a lot of money to go eight and four 1258 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 2: over two years. And the Browns got to the playoff 1259 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 2: and turned their season around last year, but not Sean Watson. 1260 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 3: I don't even Flacco off the couch the comeback player 1261 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 3: of the year. 1262 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,439 Speaker 4: I don't even like associating that eight and four record 1263 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 4: with Shaun Watson because to me, wins or not a 1264 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 4: quarterback stat I am vehemently against that because, especially when 1265 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 4: you are in Cleveland with a defense that ranks near 1266 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 4: the top or at the top of the league. The 1267 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 4: reason that the Browns made the postseason this year was 1268 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 4: because of the defense. Yeah, so I don't want to 1269 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 4: give any of the quarterbacks credit there. Again, keep the 1270 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 4: same energy if you're not going to say that they're 1271 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 4: they were good because of Joe Flacco, but they just 1272 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 4: like Joe Flackers, just came in and managed the game, 1273 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 4: which was true and all they needed. 1274 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,800 Speaker 2: But also like brought that like dad energy that everyone 1275 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 2: oh yeah, oh no, I'm a big flag sleeping on 1276 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 2: the best right. 1277 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:16,960 Speaker 3: No, uh beautiful. 1278 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 4: But what I cannot wrap my head around is again, 1279 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 4: how much you gave up in the trade for Deshaun Watson. 1280 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 4: Worse on top of guaranteeing him two hundred thirty six 1281 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 4: million dollars when he had been out of football already 1282 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 4: for so long. 1283 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 3: And in a scandal, and involved a gnarly disgusting scandal. 1284 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 4: It's it's unfathomable to me this has to go down. 1285 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 4: And the thing is to me too, I don't hear 1286 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 4: enough of people saying the Browns need to make the 1287 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 4: super Bowl in order for this to be quote unquote 1288 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 4: worth it. 1289 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 3: This is the worst. 1290 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 4: Because and I don't like saying that it's worth it either, 1291 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 4: because I don't like all of this up on the field, 1292 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 4: and I cannot separate the two. 1293 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, no, no, you cannot separate that. 1294 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 4: But everybody's saying, like, oh, if we just you know, 1295 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 4: make a run, if we just division I don't.

Vogel got them to 1330 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 2: a championship, and it's a bubble championship, but I'm still 1331 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 2: going to consider this a championship. 1332 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 4: As someone who is part of a bubble championship team. 1333 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 3: Think see yeah and the other two teams. It was 1334 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 3: La teams because Dodgers won, Lakers. 1335 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 4: One, Buccaneers one, twenty twenty super Bowl well twenty twenty one. 1336 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 2: But you know, crazy though, like Lakers having four coaches 1337 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 2: and ten years still not the most because the Sun's 1338 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:54,959 Speaker 2: also fired their head coach. 1339 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 3: They've now had six coaches in ten years. 1340 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 2: But let's talk about the Lakers for a moment, because 1341 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 2: because they've now lost to the Nuggets and back to 1342 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 2: back seasons in the playoffs, got them in the Western 1343 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 2: Conference Final in twenty twenty three, swept by Denver twenty 1344 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 2: twenty four. Now they won the in season tournament, which 1345 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 2: I think is when the Lakers might have peaked a 1346 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 2: little bit towards the end of the season before the playoffs, 1347 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 2: and then they lost it Verre in the first round 1348 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 2: in five games. The craziest part about all of this 1349 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 2: is that the Lakers had double digit leads in every 1350 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,439 Speaker 2: game except Game five, and they still had a nine 1351 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,800 Speaker 2: point lead. It was just Darvinham did not know how 1352 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 2: to manage the third quarter at all. 1353 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 3: But end of the day, let's look at the big 1354 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 3: picture here, right, because. 1355 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 2: I kind of this is kind of feels like Lebron's 1356 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 2: doing a little bit. He carries that clout that he 1357 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 2: can kind of do whatever he wants. He's in a 1358 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 2: contract year, so I'm sure they're gonna do whatever he 1359 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 2: wants to try to keep them. So the question is 1360 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 2: how long they have Lebron in LA because Lebron has 1361 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 2: a player option next season, that meaning if he opts out, 1362 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 2: he would be a free agent after next season. If 1363 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 2: he opts in, and he can resign a deal up 1364 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 2: to three years, maybe like one sixty two mil. Like 1365 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 2: I I'm a little biased here being from LA, but 1366 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,160 Speaker 2: I think it makes the most sense. I think it 1367 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,440 Speaker 2: makes for Lebron to stay here in LA. A d 1368 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 2: finally stepped up this year to show like what he 1369 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 2: can do to like be that number one, number two guy. 1370 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 2: Because again, it's always going to be Lebron number one 1371 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 2: eighty number two when he's on the court, when he 1372 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,320 Speaker 2: can stay healthy. 1373 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 3: But Lakers are still in a place where you know, 1374 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 3: the players want to be they can go out and 1375 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 3: get another big name. They're gonna have to. They're gonna 1376 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,360 Speaker 3: have to go out and get another big name. 1377 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 4: They're also gonna have to go out and get Bronnie. 1378 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 4: I think, I I just I have I still don't. 1379 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 3: I know. 1380 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 2: Lebron said like, I want to play until I can 1381 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:52,440 Speaker 2: play with Bronni. 1382 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 3: He did declare for the draft. 1383 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 4: I just what at this point though, Like, what else 1384 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 4: is lebron Ja hanging on for as exactly? So I'm like, 1385 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,200 Speaker 4: that has to happen to me, that has to happen. 1386 01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 4: It has to be So it's whatever team is going 1387 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 4: to take Brownie, whether that's drafting, whether that's signing. I 1388 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 4: think that there is an argument to be had on 1389 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,920 Speaker 4: whether you should draft him and if how much that matters, to. 1390 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 3: Say him worth to make Lebron James happy, right. 1391 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 4: Is to forfeit a draft pick essentially for someone that 1392 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 4: you probably wouldn't draft otherwise. 1393 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1394 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 4: I do think it's very interesting though, and I don't 1395 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,280 Speaker 4: know how much of a role maybe Lebron played in this, 1396 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 4: but I think the Lakers fell victim to the fact 1397 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 4: that the expectations were set so high that first year 1398 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 4: of Darbenham, like in twenty twenty three, and I think 1399 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 4: that everybody had these expectations of the Lakers, especially going 1400 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 4: into this season where maybe they thought the Lakers were 1401 01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 4: better than they were and you're fighting against your like, 1402 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 4: whatever you do as a coach, regardless of where you are, 1403 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 4: whatever you do that first year, you're held to that standard. 1404 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 4: Then every single year after that and you're expected to 1405 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 4: not only hold that status quo, but you're supposed to 1406 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 4: get better. And so when the Lakers didn't do that. Now, 1407 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 4: I also think that Darbenham made some interesting lineup changes. 1408 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 4: He had some not managed the third court everything that 1409 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 4: you said there, like there there were some fireable offenses there. 1410 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 4: He probably deserved it a little bit more. But I 1411 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 4: do think that in both the case of the Lakers 1412 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 4: and the Suns for that matter, the first year of 1413 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 4: these coaches tenure there they just blew expectations out of 1414 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 4: the water. But then that became the change two years. Yeah, 1415 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 4: I'd be like, it's a I think a lot of 1416 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 4: these teams too, especially when you have a sped up 1417 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 4: timeline like the Lakers do with Lebron. 1418 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying that's why I think it's it's the stars. 1419 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 2: It's the stars making this decision. 1420 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, whether they're going directly to ownership being like I 1421 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 4: want this guy out of here, or it's a matter 1422 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 4: of ownership saying, well, we're not going to have this 1423 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 4: guy for very much longer, so maybe we should, like 1424 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,920 Speaker 4: we have a sense of urgency. Now. It's a very interesting, 1425 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 4: weird dynamic in the NBA because I think it's becoming 1426 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,120 Speaker 4: a little bit more and more common. But then you 1427 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 4: do have like successful coaches that are tenured for a 1428 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,320 Speaker 4: very long time. It's some of these teams too. I 1429 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 4: just I think that we could give ourselves a little 1430 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,919 Speaker 4: bit more stability if we're if we're the Los Angeles Lakers. 1431 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 4: But that's an outsider perspective. You're from here, You've been 1432 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 4: a Lakers fan your whole life. I'm just kind of like, 1433 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,560 Speaker 4: I think you should. You like, people deserve a little 1434 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,400 Speaker 4: bit more patience. But that's me. 1435 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 3: That's not LA That's right, you can't do that. 1436 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 4: It's not sports in general. 1437 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 3: All right, let's check in with Martin Wise and see 1438 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 3: what's trending. 1439 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 4: Fourth quarter. 1440 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 6: About nine fifty three left between Oklahoma City Thunder and 1441 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 6: Dallas Ravericks.

How does he look in practice and 1498 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,520 Speaker 2: what's the vibe like with the team now that he's back. 1499 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:24,000 Speaker 7: Well, he looks a lot bigger. He told us that 1500 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 7: he put on a lot more muscle and he's a 1501 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 7: lot heavier at this point this season than he was 1502 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 7: at this point last year. And I mean, obviously anytime 1503 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,520 Speaker 7: he's back on the field, there's just like a noticeable 1504 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,920 Speaker 7: like uptake and energy. And last year when he went 1505 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 7: down during training camp and it was like watching Jake 1506 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 7: Browning and you know, the other Bengalis backups compete like 1507 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 7: it just didn't have the same energy on the field. 1508 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 7: So he just brings so much of that. But as 1509 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 7: far as like how he looks, he said that he's 1510 01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 7: added to his he's been really trying to focus on 1511 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 7: what time he's eating and. 1512 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 3: Said, so, yeah, I know I want to share the 1513 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 3: I will Well I did. 1514 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 7: I did ask if I could talk to his dietician, 1515 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 7: and I didn't. I didn't get an answer there. But 1516 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 7: the point of it is, I think for him, he 1517 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 7: wants to be able to withstand some of the hitch 1518 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 7: that he's taking. And obviously you can only control that 1519 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 7: so much. But I think for him, the stronger he 1520 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 7: can make himself. Maybe maybe he said, I mean I 1521 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,479 Speaker 7: hope that I can withstand them some. But so that's 1522 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 7: that's as far as how he looked. 1523 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 4: All right, Jack Joey b I love it, Uh, I 1524 01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 4: need I need to kind of be put at ease 1525 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,000 Speaker 4: a little bit, because the biggest concern I heard when 1526 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 4: he through his press conference was him saying, I'm going 1527 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 4: to have to adjust the way I'm throwing, essentially because 1528 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 4: he doesn't know how this risk is going to if 1529 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,680 Speaker 4: it's if it's going to one hundred percent heel Has 1530 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 4: anybody kind of elaborated on that. Do we expect him 1531 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 4: to get to one hundred percent or is he really 1532 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 4: going to have to change his throwing motion? Is he 1533 01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 4: going to be able to get to one hundred percent 1534 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 4: because it's so important obviously for a quarterback he's throwing 1535 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 4: risk who knew? 1536 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,639 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. 1537 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 7: I think what he was saying by that is he 1538 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 7: is expecting to make a full recovery. But a lot 1539 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 7: of people were asking him about like how different it 1540 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,840 Speaker 7: feels throwing right now, And what he was trying to 1541 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,960 Speaker 7: say is that he's going to have some good days 1542 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 7: and some bad names right now. It's you know, like 1543 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 7: he said, some days it's going to be sore or tight. 1544 01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 7: So I think he's working through like what the new 1545 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 7: normal is for him right now. But he did mention, 1546 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 7: which I thought was interesting, that it's similar to his 1547 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,920 Speaker 7: ACL injury that it takes about a year for him 1548 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 7: to feel like fully back healthy, And he did this 1549 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 7: in the middle of November, right, so you know, hopefully 1550 01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 7: he's feeling great and can do, you know, everything he 1551 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 7: needs to be able to do. But he also said 1552 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 7: that he can be really mindful of it and like 1553 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 7: if there are days in camp where he can't he's 1554 01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 7: feeling some tightness, like he learned the hard way last 1555 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 7: year with his cap strain. Like if you are tight 1556 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 7: and you think there's even a small glimpse of this 1557 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 7: being something that could blow up, don't push it. So 1558 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,440 Speaker 7: I do think like it's not going to be surprising 1559 01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 7: or like alarm bell shouldn't be going off if there's 1560 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 7: a couple of days where he doesn't throw in training camp, 1561 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 7: or you know, they have to kind of put him 1562 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,920 Speaker 7: on a pitch count because like he didn't acknowledge and 1563 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:37,439 Speaker 7: say that I'm recognizing that it could be a year 1564 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,400 Speaker 7: for me to be fully feeling like myself again. 1565 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 4: But he does know how. 1566 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 7: To like push through pain. But I think the biggest 1567 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,720 Speaker 7: takeaway I had from Miss prescottas the other day is 1568 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 7: he learned the hard way last year when on the 1569 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 7: second day of training camp practice he was wearing a 1570 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 7: like a compression sleeve on his cap and we all 1571 01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,800 Speaker 7: saw it and we're like, that's interesting. And then at 1572 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:01,599 Speaker 7: the end and to practice is when he went down 1573 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 7: with the cat strain in that rectical training camp and argue, like, 1574 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,799 Speaker 7: the first couple of games honestly can be kept setting 1575 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,560 Speaker 7: it back. So I think I think he's going to 1576 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 7: have to monitor like when he's feeling tightness or soreness, 1577 01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 7: and so I think you're going to see it be 1578 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,640 Speaker 7: like maybe how they managed some of the other quarterbacks 1579 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 7: that have had like elbow injuries or things like that, 1580 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 7: where it's like they really got to manage the amount 1581 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 7: of time keep throwing it to make sure that they 1582 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 7: can get him to the first year of season. 1583 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so hard to have that pressure on him too, 1584 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 4: where people are talking about how injury prone he could be. 1585 01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 4: And now you're. 1586 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 3: Also being tad to look for an insurance plan. 1587 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,040 Speaker 4: But now like you're having to tell yourself, I have 1588 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 4: to be patient for the long run because you don't 1589 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 4: want to set yourself back. But aside from Joe Burrow, 1590 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,639 Speaker 4: there are some other crazy storylines in Cincinnati with Trey 1591 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,519 Speaker 4: Hendrickson with t Higgins. I mean, these are two of 1592 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,760 Speaker 4: your guys that are very beloved. Trey Hendrickson, I think 1593 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:57,800 Speaker 4: is criminally underrated, perhaps the most underrated defensive player in 1594 01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 4: the league right now. And they're both like, Hey, I 1595 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,839 Speaker 4: want out because I'm not getting paid here. What is happening? 1596 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 4: Are they going to pay them? Please tell me they're 1597 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:07,960 Speaker 4: going to retain these guys, because that's INCINETI defense. Its 1598 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:08,680 Speaker 4: not gonna be the same with that. 1599 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 7: Trey Anderson, Well, yes, it has been a very eventful 1600 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 7: off season for the Cincinnati because of this. So I'll 1601 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,760 Speaker 7: start with Trey hendrick said, that was the most surprising 1602 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,600 Speaker 7: trade request for me, But the more I kind of 1603 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 7: dug into it and found out and talking to people. 1604 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 7: So last year he wanted an upgrade to his contract. 1605 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 7: He felt like he you know, he's going to Pro 1606 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,080 Speaker 7: Bowl the last two years, like he felt like that 1607 01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 7: the contract at Cincinnati gave him didn't match his production. 1608 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:48,439 Speaker 7: And then he they they only agreed to adding one 1609 01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,600 Speaker 7: more year on and they gave him a little I 1610 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 7: believe it was a five million dollar pay bump. So 1611 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,720 Speaker 7: then he signed that extension. That's the important Thinger so 1612 01:12:58,760 --> 01:12:59,400 Speaker 7: he signed it. 1613 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 4: I get it, like for a guy that it's seventeen 1614 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:02,719 Speaker 4: and a half sex last year. 1615 01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,720 Speaker 7: Well right, but like the Bengals weren't going to know that. 1616 01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 7: And he did have the opportunity to like bet on himself, 1617 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 7: like if he if he wasn't happy with the number, 1618 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 7: you know, he didn't have to sign. 1619 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:13,400 Speaker 3: It, but he did. 1620 01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 7: So the team felt like that was their way of 1621 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 7: you know, you know, throwing a bone to him, being like, 1622 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:22,000 Speaker 7: you know, we we want to you know, figure this 1623 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 7: out and give you something. Well, I guess he didn't 1624 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 7: feel like this pass off season. When his representation met 1625 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 7: with the Bengals and asked again for a change, the 1626 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 7: Bengals didn't give it to him. And so that's the 1627 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,280 Speaker 7: that's the crux of his trade request because he feels 1628 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 7: like he should be paid more closer to the highest 1629 01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 7: paid ed rushers in the NFL. H So that's where 1630 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 7: that's coming from. I got the impression that, you know, 1631 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,760 Speaker 7: it was something that was you know, very upsetting to him, 1632 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,640 Speaker 7: and he took it almost as like personal like they 1633 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:59,000 Speaker 7: don't value what I what I bring, sure, but you know, 1634 01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,680 Speaker 7: you know, how these things go. Would he sit out 1635 01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,720 Speaker 7: a year you just like, it's hard to imagine that, 1636 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,759 Speaker 7: but that's the that's the whole point of his trade request. 1637 01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:15,600 Speaker 7: And then Tee Higgins, this has been an ongoing saga 1638 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,719 Speaker 7: and and basically they tagged him and they didn't continue 1639 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:24,320 Speaker 7: trade talks. And basically they're at a point where he's 1640 01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,680 Speaker 7: going to play on the tag, they're going to go 1641 01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 7: their separate ways next season, and that's that that's where 1642 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 7: that's at. I put a story out with the numbers 1643 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 7: of you know what the Bengals offered t and he 1644 01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 7: felt like it was, you know, super low for his production. 1645 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 7: But he also had a rough year last year, so 1646 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:44,680 Speaker 7: he needs to play well. So it's kind of like 1647 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 7: a win win for the Bengal. 1648 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 2: Now Kelsey is staying on the contract combo. The Bengals 1649 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 2: picked up Jamar Chase's fifth year option and he's currently 1650 01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 2: eligible for an extension. We've seen other top receivers get 1651 01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 2: their deals this offseason. How close is Cincinnati to lock 1652 01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,559 Speaker 2: in and Chase to like a long term contract. 1653 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,559 Speaker 7: Well, they hadn't started as of March, and I think 1654 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 7: that this is all going back to Justin Jefferson, where 1655 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:14,559 Speaker 7: they Jamar is one of the most upfront and honest people. 1656 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,719 Speaker 7: And I asked him, I said, this is Justin Jefferson 1657 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,679 Speaker 7: need to sign his deal before you need even start. 1658 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:26,680 Speaker 7: And he said, yes, stand and that is Jamar like 1659 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 7: to a t and honestly that he shouldn't like, you know, 1660 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,760 Speaker 7: Justin Jefferson, who knows what it's going to start with. 1661 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,120 Speaker 3: So I think it's going to start. 1662 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 7: Both sides are are going to, you know, try and 1663 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,759 Speaker 7: make it work. The Bengals obviously want to keep Jamar 1664 01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 7: and their plans, but I think the numbers they have 1665 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 7: to wait on Justin Jefferson, so they as of right now. 1666 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,479 Speaker 7: When I have a chance to park Singles executive president 1667 01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 7: Katie Blackburn, who negotiates all the contracts, she said that 1668 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 7: they had not started, but she did say he is 1669 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 7: in chart. 1670 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure he is. But he's smart. 1671 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 3: He's smart to wait. 1672 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,040 Speaker 2: So it's a lot of patience with the Bengals this 1673 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 2: offseason with Burrow.

It ruins you travel wise. 1712 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 2: Oh it doesn't when you go back and you're like, 1713 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 2: I have to go through TSA. You mean I can't 1714 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 2: just like roll up to Atlantic with my suitcase and 1715 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,479 Speaker 2: just walk right onto the plane, right that that doesn't happen, Right. 1716 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 4: I don't get ice cream in the air, not waiting. 1717 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:17,640 Speaker 3: For me, Like my food isn't waiting for me at 1718 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 3: my seat when I get there. 1719 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 2: It's it's it's really messed up.

But like for athletes, 1723 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 4: it matters, and like having these guys, especially like in 1724 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:33,720 Speaker 4: football players and yes, basketball players that are taller than 1725 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 4: normal people. Yes, you need to have your leg rooms 1726 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,760 Speaker 4: so that you can let your legs blood flow. The 1727 01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 4: blood flow. It matters so much for recovery. Yeah, so 1728 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 4: this is incredible that they didn't have it already. I'm 1729 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,880 Speaker 4: so happy that they do now. I'm so happy that 1730 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 4: not only yeah, is Caitlin Clark influenced that? Did you 1731 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:53,799 Speaker 4: see was it Asia Wilson? 1732 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:54,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1733 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 4: Is getting her own shoe too? 1734 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,560 Speaker 3: Yep, amazing, insane. 1735 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:02,240 Speaker 2: Also, Indiana Fever preseason game was a franchise record attendance 1736 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 2: of thirteen thousand people in attendance. Yes, most of the 1737 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,519 Speaker 2: Fevers games will now be nationally televised, thirty six of 1738 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,640 Speaker 2: their forty regular season games, and the Indiana Fever have 1739 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:18,519 Speaker 2: expanded their home TV market to eleven additional markets so 1740 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 2: people can watch Caitlyn Clark that like and guess what, 1741 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,000 Speaker 2: you guys, You're like, Oh, maybe it's not like she's 1742 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,759 Speaker 2: not going to be like the same player in the WNBA. 1743 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:29,080 Speaker 2: She's still shooting those crazy threes in the WNBAN. I 1744 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 2: saw a social post where a pe teacher shared one 1745 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 2: of the boys in her pe class just step back. 1746 01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:39,519 Speaker 2: He took a deep three and yelled Caitlyn Clark, which, 1747 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,920 Speaker 2: like so cute, just warms my heart. We are in 1748 01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:47,479 Speaker 2: a new era. As much as much as you want 1749 01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:50,759 Speaker 2: to say, like, oh, like women's basketball, like college basketball 1750 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 2: in general, it is Kaitlyn Clark. 1751 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 3: This is the Caitlin Clark effect. She moves the needle. 1752 01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 4: I hope the momentum continues to the things that I mean. 1753 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 4: I think the charter again really matters. I also think 1754 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:06,240 Speaker 4: that this needs to influence. Then we were saying that 1755 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 4: the network TV contracts, obviously those are going to go up. 1756 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 4: THEBAWNBA commissioner is trying to double those, is what she said, 1757 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,840 Speaker 4: which then will trickle down to the players to get 1758 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,559 Speaker 4: paid more. So that eleven year old and seven year 1759 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,200 Speaker 4: old boys finding out that Caitlin Clark is only getting 1760 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 4: paid seventy five thousand dollars in her first year aren't 1761 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 4: completely shocked and just completely disgusted by that, because it's true. 1762 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:33,160 Speaker 4: These athletes put their bodies on the line. They deserve 1763 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 4: more than that. Hopefully it starts now. 1764 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 3: Yes, and we're seeing it. 1765 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for spending your Saturday afternoon with us. 1766 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 2: We'll see next week, same time, same place, My guys,
